November presents the Yi Wood Day Master with a rich environment for growth and networking, much like a kelp forest that thrives best when intertwined with others. This is a month where collaborations and group dynamics take center stage, offering fertile ground for building alliances and gathering support for personal, career, or business growth.
Positive Influences: Embrace Group Action
Collaborative Growth: The energy supports collaborative efforts, making it an ideal time to join forces with like-minded individuals who share your vision and values. Whether in business, community projects, or personal development, group action can enhance your progress.
Knowledge-Sharing Networks: November’s energy is particularly conducive to networking through knowledge-sharing. It’s a good time to contribute your expertise, participate in discussions, and engage in group learning. This can open new doors and allow you to build meaningful connections that further your goals.
Gathering Support: If you’re looking to launch a new project or strengthen your career path, this is a good month to gather allies and garner support. The right collaborations could significantly amplify your influence, helping you achieve more than you could on your own.
Potential Pitfalls: Beware of Over-Networking
Too Much, Too Fast: While networking is beneficial, there’s a risk of overextending yourself. The desire to connect with everyone can lead to a lack of focus or a dilution of your efforts. Choose your collaborations wisely—quality over quantity will be crucial to avoid the trap of superficial connections that don’t truly support your goals.
Balancing Depth and Breadth: Ensure that your networking efforts are not just about accumulating contacts but also about building meaningful, reciprocal relationships. Focus on depth, not just breadth, to prevent feeling scattered or overwhelmed by too many commitments.
NOVEMBER 2024 YI WOOD | BUSINESS: COLLABORATIONS AND ALLIANCES
November 2024’s energy is well-suited for strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or any collaborative efforts that involve resource sharing.

NOVEMBER 2024 YI WOOD | PERSONAL: SUPPORT SYSTEMS
This is a good month to reinforce your support networks, whether in business, career, or personal life. Surround yourself with people who inspire and encourage you, helping you maintain both motivation and accountability.

In September, Yi Wood Day Masters were advised to form alliances with strong industry leaders. Now, as we move into October, it’s time to take this strategy one step further. Think of yourself as a vine that climbs a tree for sunlight. Your survival—and success—depends on leveraging the resources of your competitors. As they become distracted by their own challenges, you must take advantage of the situation to grow and reach new heights.
The Rob Wealth star, which governs this month, can be a mixed blessing. It’s often associated with potential financial losses or resource drains. However, in the hands of a savvy Yi Wood Day Master, it can be transformed into a source of growth. If October’s Jia Xu is favorable in your chart, this energy can be used to attract new followers, clients, or customers. However, growth comes at a price—expect to spend money on marketing, advertising, or scaling your operations.
If the Jia Xu is an unfavorable influence, caution is required. The Rob Wealth star may increase your expenses or cause cash flow challenges. The Great Consumer star is also activated, making you more likely to encounter unexpected financial drains. Monitor your spending closely and avoid impulsive financial decisions.
BUSINESS: PICK A SIDE, OR FIND A WAY TO RISE ABOVE
In the business world, October feels like a battlefield. Larger competitors are likely to be embroiled in their own conflicts, leaving opportunities for you to rise by capturing their distracted audience. However, you need to be strategic in how you approach this. Just as a plant climbs a tree to access more sunlight, you must position yourself to benefit from the openings created by these bigger battles.
If you’re in a situation where large players are competing for dominance, there are two main options: pick a side and align with the stronger competitor, or stay neutral and focus on building your own base while your competitors are distracted. In either case, tapping into their resources and followers could provide the boost you need. This is not the time to be timid—ambition and assertiveness will help you thrive amidst the conflict.
CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: DELEGATE TO EXPAND
While the Rob Wealth star is traditionally seen as a money-losing star, there’s a more nuanced interpretation: it can also represent support or “minions” who are eager to help you accomplish your goals. With Rob Wealth sitting on top of Direct Wealth, this month is ideal for delegating tasks and responsibilities.
With the support of the Eating God and 7 Killings as the sub-Qi of the Dog branch, delegating doesn’t mean relinquishing control, but rather empowering your team or colleagues to take on more responsibility. This allows you to focus on higher-level tasks that require your direct attention. Whether you’re managing a team or collaborating with peers, trust that others can carry out the day-to-day tasks while you concentrate on long-term strategy. By sharing the load, you’ll not only reduce your stress but also enhance the productivity and cohesion of your team.
EXAMPLE: A BUSINESS LEADER’S APPROACH
Let’s consider the example of a small business owner who is a Yi Wood Day Master. In October, they might find themselves competing with larger businesses that are preoccupied with their own struggles. The Rob Wealth star presents an opportunity for this Yi Wood Day Master to gain an edge by aligning with the right partners or leveraging the followers of their distracted competitors.
Suppose the larger business is tied up in a legal battle or restructuring. This is the perfect moment for the Yi Wood Day Master to offer special promotions, introduce new services, or create targeted content to capture the attention of their competitors’ audience. However, this requires an investment of resources—whether through marketing, hiring additional help, or launching a new campaign. While this comes with risks, it can also lead to significant rewards.
WATCH YOUR CASH FLOW: THE GREATER CONSUMER STAR
As much as October holds potential for growth, there are also risks to be aware of. Because this is your Rob Wealth month, the Yi Wood Day Master runs the greatest risk of triggering the Greater Consumer star which can create unexpected expenses, whether in personal life or business. You may find yourself dealing with higher operational costs, unexpected repairs, or simply needing to spend more to stay competitive. The key here is to manage your cash flow wisely.
The mitigator of the Greater Consumer is the National Treasure. So, plan your budget carefully, keep a closer eye on financial reports, and avoid impulsive spending. It’s also wise to have some contingency funds set aside for emergencies or unforeseen expenses.
CONCLUSION: OPPORTUNITIES AMIDST CHALLENGES
For the Yi Wood Day Master, October offers both challenges and opportunities. The Rob Wealth star may seem daunting at first, but when understood properly, it can be a tool for growth, particularly if you embrace delegation and leverage your competitors’ resources. The key lies in knowing when to climb, when to align, and when to conserve.
Stay alert, be strategic with your resources, and remain flexible. If you can harness the energy of the month, you’ll find yourself better positioned to thrive despite the ongoing conflicts around you.

In August, the Yi Wood Day Master had a chance to earn the respect of your peers and competitors. Now in September 2024’s Gui You (癸酉), the opportunity may come for you to make like a remora fish and swim (safely) with the sharks.
Ever watched a few remora fish tethered to a shark? It’s a symbiotic relationship that works for both parties. The remora feeds off the parasites and leavings from the shark, and at the same time, enjoys the protection of the larger species. The shark also benefits from the relationship as the remora removes irritating or harmful parasites from its skin.
Translated into human terms, September 2024 is offering the Yi Wood Day Master a chance to create a win-win symbiotic relationship with a larger player in the market. Most of us, will inevitably find that we are swimming in a pond with larger competitors. Unless, of course, your name is Google or Microsoft (but note the results from August’s antitrust lawsuit against Google). In the tech world, especially, this is a common alliance where many startups ally themselves with larger competitors to take advantage of either their resources or their insights into new consumer trends.
If September’s Gui You is a positive influence in your chart, this could allow you the chance to either stress-test new products or ideas, or identify new trends that your competitors are working towards.
If the Gui You brings a negative impact into your chart, you may find yourself caught up on trivial matters, resulting in stagnation.
But regardless, the 7 Killings is in play. Which can bring potential challenges. If you intend to ride on the trend created by a larger competitor, it is essential to remain ethical and respectful of intellectual property and confidentiality agreements.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | BUSINESS: COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES
Please don’t get me wrong. I am absolutely not advocating that you copy someone else’s products or business model. Instead, a great symbiotic relationship can be established if you can create a complementary service that enhances each other’s offerings.
You could also consider piggybacking on your competitor’s distribution channels to reduce costs.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NEW RESOURCES
The Yi Wood Day Master can also consider taking advantage of the new resources being kicked up by the September 2024 chart. For example, keep an eye out for cross-company mentorship programmes, joint training programs or even secondments to other divisions or departments where you can improve your skill, enlarge your network, and practice your new knowledge at the same time.

After an aggressive month in July, August 2024’s Ren Shen (壬申) will be an exercise in reputation-building and maintenance for the Yi Wood Day Master.
From the perspective of the Yi Wood Day Master, the Ren Shen sees your Direct Resource sitting on your Direct Officer, and supported further by your Direct Wealth. That’s right, the Three Precious coming together within the context of a Rob Wealth year.
It’s a chance to burnish your reputation, to create a respectful yet competitive relationship with the other players in the market. In 2024, one of the positive stars in the Monkey is the Three Staves which supports good reputation and promotion luck through meeting the right noble people. Of the 10 Day Masters, the Yi Wood is the best poised to take advantage of the Three Stages.
So August is not the time for the Yi Wood Day Master to be a wallflower. You need to bloom, you need to shine. With the Direct Resource bringing you support, help, guidance and assistance, you need to be out there building relationships with advisers, mentors, and colleagues.
But where there is a positive, there must be a negative. If the presence of the Ren Shen is negative in your chart, the downside could be a lack of urgency and/or indecisiveness. The inability to act decisively because you are too busy seeking consensus before acting. A further caution, you are most likely to encounter passive-aggressive resistance in August.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | BUSINESS, CAREER, AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: ENHANCE YOUR REPUTATION
Reputation isn’t passive. We don’t need to sit around and wait for others to shower us with accolades. There are things we can do to manage our reputation in the market, be it as business owners or career professionals.
Direct Resource sitting on Direct Officer, and supported by Direct Wealth is an opportunity to be recognized and respected for your contributions to the industry. We can help this along by offering profound insights, sharing expertise generously (and consistently), celebrating positive reviews or feedbacks, and most of all, by keeping our promises and honouring our commitments.
In today’s world, we can do this on our own through our social media platforms. Alternatively, connect with potential nobleman to seek for the platforms that will allow you to do just that.
AUGUST 2024 YI WOOD | PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: MASTER A SKILL TO IMPROVE YOUR COMPETITIVENESS
In Period 9, staying stagnant is never an option. As the world moves faster and faster, the risk of being left behind is always there. On a personal development basis, you could invest the time to master a new skill that can enhance your competitive edge.

In June 2024, one of the suggested ideas for the Yi Wood Day Master was to set your own house in order. To gain some modicum of control. Now that you’ve got your house in order, July 2024 brings you the environment to start investing in future growth.
BUSINESS AND CAREER: INVEST IN FUTURE GROWTH
July 2024’s Xin Wei (辛未) month sees your Indirect Wealth being weakened by the 7 Killings. Conservative Bazi interpretation will see this as a weakening of your side income. But we can flip this to the positive by:
Friend and Eating God – use the support of these stars to crowdsource and spark new ideas. Ideas that can help you out-innovate your competitors.
Indirect Wealth and 7 Killings – start nurturing your future market by gaining a toe-hold into the new sector. In other words, start putting some skin into the game.
BUSINESS: HELLO, GUERILLA TACTICS!
There is, however, another more direct method to use your 7 Killings month. A Xin Metal 7 Killings going up against a Jia Wood Rob Wealth is akin to launching multiple small attacks on multiple fronts against a larger enemy. This is not a direct confrontation. Instead, it’s about irritating stings that could distract your competitors. It needs the Yi Wood Day Master to be at its best – agile!
After all, with limited Water in the July 2024 Bazi Chart, the Yi Wood has to do its best to prevent your Jia Wood competitors from sucking up all that precious resource.
In today’s business environment, the use of social media marketing is the perfect platform for guerilla marketing tactics. Guerilla marketing thrives on audience engagement (Friend), creativity (Eating God), and surprise (7 Killings).
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE
Again, in a month where resource is scarce, learning to manage your physical and emotional resources will be important for the Yi Wood. If nothing else, we want to prevent a scarcity mindset from setting in. For the Yi Wood Day Master, growth is always intertwined with that of others.
Therefore, from a personal front, July would be a good month for the Yi Wood to create or enhance your existing support system in order to improve your own emotional resilience.

In May 2024, Yi Wood Day Masters were confronted with a month where it seemed like everyone is going after the same opportunities. May felt competitive, didn’t it? June’s Geng Wu (庚午) month has an interesting proposal for you – if you can’t beat the players, change the game!
BUSINESS: MOVE THE GOAL POST
“If you can’t beat the players, change the game” is a powerful concept that encourages strategic thinking and adaptability. Given that your Direct Officer will be supported by your Ding Fire Eating God and Ji Earth Indirect Wealth stars, you will have plenty of strategic thinking power at your disposal.
Instead of persistently trying to beat the other industry players using the same approach, consider altering the rules or dynamics of the game itself. Redefine success or introduce new strategies that give you an advantage. If you are already losing, what have you got to lose? Sometimes, success lies in changing the rules or shifting the focus. The best way to win is to redefine what winning means.
CAREER AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT: ENFORCING RULES
When it comes to the leadership styles of the 10 Day Masters, the innate flexibility of the Yi Wood Day Master can often lead to the misconception that you are a wishy-washy leader. Soft. Non-threatening.
Most Yi Wood Day Masters have a hard time enforcing rules and strict codes of conduct among their staff. Very often, people quickly find loopholes because the Yi Wood boss is too busy bending backwards and people pleasing. In June, turn a deaf ear to the sob stories. The month’s energy is supportive for you to bring down the hammer on lax behaviour, unethical practices, and any actions that compromise the integrity of your team or organization. In other words, skivers beware! Your Yi Wood boss is on the warpath.

In May 2024, the Yi Wood Day Masters sees an Indirect Wealth month meeting with your Rob Wealth year. On the surface, it will also seem like many of your competitors are going after the same opportunities as you are. Kind of like running a marathon – hundreds of competitors gunning for that one trophy.
In this case, your brand differentiation (Hurting Officer) holds the key. This is your niche, what sets you apart. There are two possible scenarios here:
SCENARIO 1: THE MORE YOU TALK, THE MORE OPPORTUNIEIS YOU CREATE
In a month where your Output produces Wealth, the more you talk, the more opportunities you create… for yourself, and others. Back to the marathon metaphor, this is something akin to creating consolation prizes so that everyone gets a share.
But this is just a surface interpretation. If you are looking to create momentum through group movement, on the other hand… onwards to Scenario 2.
SCENARIO 2: START A MOVEMENT MOTIVATED BY A COMMON GOAL
Use your inspiring Hurting Officer to start a movement motivated by a common goal. For example, crowd-funding! But note that you need to move fast to take advantage of the momentum. Once the movement start happening, you need to have a plan and system ready to build something concrete very quickly. Or else risk the interest dissipating.
DELIVER WHAT YOU PROMISED
For the career folks among us, your ability to deliver what you promised is what will set you aside from your competitors. Be sure to document your process and results because that is what the market wants to see. The market will be paying for results, not effort.

For the Yi Wood Day Master, April 2024 is the month to hunker down, dig deep, and plod onwards with some good old-fashioned hard work. The hidden Yi Wood in the Dragon anchors you. The hidden Gui Water in the Dragon provides resource and some incidental noble people as well. With these two supporting you, it’s time to make the most of your Direct Wealth month.
Below are all the actions connected to the Direct Wealth:
Setting Clear Goals
The first step to making things happen is to set clear, achievable goals. These goals should be specific, measurable, and time-bound. Whether you want to start a new project, learn a new skill, or improve your health, having a clear goal will give you direction and motivation.
Planning and Preparation
Once you have your goals in mind, it’s time to create a plan of action. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and create a timeline for completing them. Consider what resources you’ll need and how you can best prepare yourself for success.
Taking Action Every Day
The key to making things happen is consistent action. Commit to taking at least one small step towards your goals every day, no matter how busy you are. This could be as simple as reading a chapter of a book, practicing a new skill for 30 minutes, or making a phone call to someone who can help you.
Overcoming Obstacles
As you work towards your goals, you’re likely to encounter obstacles and setbacks. Instead of letting these challenges derail you, see them as opportunities to learn and grow. Stay flexible and be willing to adjust your plan if necessary.

After the excitement and frenetic burst of activity during Chinese New Year, March 2024’s Ding Mao (丁卯) month arrives to remind us it’s time to get back to the grind. Yup, the tedium of our daily routines and the daily humdrum of life.
AUXILIARY STARS UP FOR GRABS
With the Rabbit month comes the following Auxiliary Stars:
MARCH 2024 BAZI CHART
Let’s delve into the month’s energy with a glance at the Bazi Chart for March 2024.
At first glance, this is a very dry chart, with a self-punishment between the two Dragons and a harm with the Rabbit month. Self-punishments typically denote self-created problems while the Harm relationship in a Bazi hints at unrealistic or unmet expectations. In other words, complaints. If you happen to be in the service industry, managing expectations should be one of your top priorities in March 2024, regardless of what animal signs are in your own Bazi Chart.
This chart engenders that feeling of learned helplessness. When people feel they have no control over their situation, they may begin to behave in a helpless manner. This inaction can lead people to overlook opportunities for relief or change.
Learned helplessness is characterized by lasting symptoms such as:
Avoiding decisions (or waiting for instructions) – as characterized by the Influence Structure of the Chart
Giving up quickly – due to the lack of Metal in the Chart
Inability to tolerate frustration – as evidenced by the Dragon-Dragon self punishment
Lack of effort – a weak Day Master with a weak Wealth element
Low motivation and poor self esteem – Companion element in self-punishment between the two Dragons hinting at deeply rooted insecurities.
Passive behavior – overly strong Wood resulting in an extreme fear of change or an extreme need for control
Procrastination – the Wu Earth speciality
Refusing to try – the Heavenly Stem sees the Jia Wood producing Ding Fire which then produces the Wu Earth Day Master which is sandwiched between two Ding Fire resource stars in the Month and the Hour. This combination typically creates an expectation of being coddled. Like a baby bird sitting in its nest with its mouth wide open, waiting for mommy bird to feed it with worms.
If this were a real person, any Bazi consult worth its salt would focus on helping the Chart owner dismantle this learned behaviour or learned helplessness. But before we go there, let’s have a look at which animal signs will be most susceptible to this Chart.
ANIMAL SIGNS AFFECTED BY THE DING MAO
The Dog
A clash to the Annual Pillar and a combination to the Month Pillar could signify opportunities to gain career or business opportunities, but only if you have succeeded in changing your network or personal branding.
The Goat and/or The Pig
If you have the Goat or the Pig in your Chart, try to avoid getting accidentally drawn into other people’s drama. Unless, of course, helping people sort out the drama in their lives is how you earn a living. Then the March 2024 could be a great month. For example, if you are a life coach, you may find yourself bringing in clients with a lot of drama in their lives.
The Rooster
A combination to the Annual Pillar and a clash to the Month Pillar may signal an opportunity to change your career or business strategy due to opportunities coming in from the external.
The Rat
Focus on enacting (and enforcing) boundaries before other people’s drama becomes your own. Don’t make other people’s problems your own.
The Dragon
Work on letting go of the need for control or anger that may be fuelling you in a negative way.
The Horse
This is the best month to break a habit. Perhaps, that habit of learned helplessness?
WU EARTH DAY MASTER: DIRECT RESOURCE ON DIRECT OFFICER
In a simplified manner, Direct Officer producing Direct Resource enhances one’s reputation and social standing. Which means that March 2024 is a good month for the Wu Earth Day Master to enhance your reputation for being accountable, dependable and reliable.
Want to take this to a bigger scale? Visually, in the hands of the Wu Earth Day Master, the Ding Mao is seen as a beacon fire high on top of a mountain. Referring to the March 2024 month chart, how about using the Ding Mao’s energy to illuminate the path for others to break away from learned helplessness?
The Wu Earth, tall, strong and ever-reliable, is always the best Day Master when it comes to offering practical and supportive guidance. You could also use your authority and reputation to offer different perspectives in a given situation or impasse.
Because, 2024 is also your 7 Killings year, a good way to use the energy from March 2024 is to shore up your reputation by getting accredited or certified.
JI EARTH DAY MASTER: INDIRECT RESOURCE ON 7 KILLINGS
From a classical Bazi point of view, this is not considered a good formation. But in the spirit of the Yin-and-Yang, where there is bad, there must be good, isn’t it?
So let’s get the bad news out of the way. 7 Killings producing Indirect Resource is not great because it indicates the tendency to cause a myriad of petty problems and issues due to either sheer carelessness or recklessness. Alternatively, this could mean that you may find a preponderance of instances where you find that you have to take on other people’s problems.
But from a positive perspective, the 7 Killings can represent courage, while the Indirect Resource portrays your inner light. Put the two together, and here is an opportunity to seize that courage to confront your fears and try something new.
When the Ji Earth Day Master meets the Ding Mao, the picture that comes to mind is the old fashioned slash-and-burn agricultural technique. Let me quickly add that I’m not advocating open-burning here! Just using it as an example!
But like how burning vegetation can turn it into nutrient-rich ash that benefits the soil, here is a one-month opportunity to face down your fears, transform problems into lessons, and grow stronger as a result. In that sense, for the Ji Earth Day Master, March 2024’s Ding Mao month can represent a month of mental breakthrough. However, because this level of burning can create a lot of smoke, some cleansing tears might be expected if you go this route.
GENG METAL DAY MASTER: DIRECT OFFICER ON DIRECT WEALTH
March 2024’s Ding Mao month represents a time of execution for the Geng Metal Day Master. With your Direct Officer sitting on Direct Wealth, the discipline you invest will pay dividends in progress.
Visually, this is likened to the process of sword-smithing. A sword being forged on the anvils of willpower, tempered by the flames of adversity, and strengthened with the hammer of consistency.
March 2024’s Ding Mao energy is timely, as the Geng Metal Day Master is standing at the start of your Indirect Wealth year (the Jia Chen sees your Indirect Wealth sitting on Indirect Resource). The self-discipline you enforce in March 2024 will give you a head start to making the most of the opportunities that your Indirect Wealth year will bring.
XIN METAL DAY MASTER: 7 KILLINGS ON INDIRECT WEALTH
For the Xin Metal Day Master, with March 2024’s Ding Mao comes two propulsive energies – your 7 Killings sitting on Indirect Wealth.
With the 7 Killings comes courage, while the Indirect Wealth brings opportunities. These two expansive energies together are all about making a big impact. Like a fiery arrow arcing through the sky, it’s time to launch and go for the bullseye.
The negative part of this formation is that it encourages a tendency to speculate or impulsive decisions. Keep an eye on this effect if you are making big decisions this month.
But 7 Killings is all about expansion. While the Indirect Wealth is about leverage. Put together, March 2024 is a great month for the Xin Metal Day Master to launch that first campaign to kick off your 2024 Direct Wealth year.
REN WATER DAY MASTER: DIRECT WEALTH ON HURTING OFFICER
For the Ren Water Day Master, when your Hurting Officer produces your Direct Wealth, this is the time to celebrate and show off your achievements and accomplishments. Of course, I’m not suggesting that you should suddenly turn into an annoying braggart! But many of us don’t do enough to claim credit for our contributions! This is especially true in the Asian culture where humility and self-deprecation is the norm.
However, to progress our careers or business, some form of self-promotion is always required. Done tastefully, it does not have to be ‘fake’ or ‘forced’. Celebrating our own personal milestones (no matter how insignificant it may seem in the larger scheme of things), is very important to keep us feeling motivated and hopeful.
But if you are really resistant to that strategy, at least pick a day to focus on documenting your contributions and achievements. Exceeded your sales target? Write it down! Helped solve a problem? Put it in writing!
GUI WATER DAY MASTER: INDIRECT WEALTH ON EATING GOD
For the Gui Water Day Master, March 2024 represents your Eating God producing Indirect Wealth (yes, the coveted Eating God producing Wealth formation).
If you have something you would like to see, March 2024 is the time to do it. This is the best month to convince people of your vision for the future. Supported by your Hurting Officer year, here’s your chance to use your Gui Water innate charm and soft communication style to get others to buy into your ideas by combining creativity with financial acumen. Embrace this alignment and share your vision confidently!
Be it for career, business, or even inter-personal relationships, March 2024 represents an opportunity to get others aligned to your goals and mission.
JIA WOOD DAY MASTER: HURTING OFFICER ON ROB WEALTH
For the Jia Wood Day Master, March 2024 sees your Rob Wealth producing your Hurting Officer. At the surface level, this could cause some small potential loss of money. The cause? The Hurting Officer energy is all about performance, so there’s an element of ‘showing off’ going on here. Put the two together, and the end result is some small expenses going out because of the desire to ‘show off’.
But then again, what’s wrong with a little bit of crowing? Like seriously! If you are in the financial position to do so, why not?
However, is there a positive use of the March 2024’s energy? There are two possible uses or micro strategies available.
The first is to engage in some short-term community-driven marketing where you incentivize your community to sell for you. Think: special rebates, discounts, referral programmes, etc.
The second plausible strategy, if you have the Dog, Goat or Pig in your Bazi Chart, you could also possibly consider a short-termed joint marketing campaign with others in your industry. Perhaps even look for opportunities where you get to be a guest speaker on other people’s platforms.
Don’t like either one of the above strategies? Then use March 2024 to study your competitor’s marketing tactics and learn from them.
YI WOOD DAY MASTER: EATING GOD ON FRIEND STAR
For the Yi Wood Day Master, the advent of March 2024 is like a field of grass catching fire! Whoosh! The initial spark catches on quick, and spreads across the entire field like an inferno. In other words, if you use the energy well, your ideas will quickly gain traction and rapid adoption.
Therefore, if you have always had problems with other people accepting your ideas, March is the month to put them on the table. If you have been looking for a chance to sway a group of people, this is it!
Use this to either foster a positive working culture in your organization, foster collaboration and synergy, or even take that first brave step to start creating an online community around yourself, your products or your services.
Alternatively, grab a bunch of friends and enjoy life together.
BING FIRE DAY MASTER: ROB WEALTH ON DIRECT RESOURCE
For the Bing Fire Day Master, keeping an eye on your budget is a must when your Rob Wealth arrives on the Heavenly Stem. With the Direct Resource producing your Rob Wealth, there is a potential where you need to use your existing resources to create growth for the future. If you are using this to invest, then it’s great! But if it’s spending on expenses instead of investment, perhaps not so great.
Is there a good way to use the month’s Rob Wealth energy? This idea may not be applicable for all industries, but a mini train-the-trainer campaign could be helpful to expand your community, tribe or followers. Which means, that we can use training to create our own spokespersons who will then spread the word for us.
From a career perspective, this is also a good month to train your staff or your team. Basically, to update or upgrade their knowledge.
DING FIRE DAY MASTER: FRIEND ON INDIRECT RESOURCE
The suggested strategies for the first nine Day Masters have been external-focused. Not so for the Ding Fire Day Master. To explain, I need to refer to the energies of 2023 – the year of the Water Rabbit (Gui Mao). Water raining on the Ding Fire may result in a dampening of your passions. Somehow, in 2023, vitality was perhaps, a little lacking.
The passion and fire sparks again in March 2024. With the coming of the Wood energy in the Rabbit, the fire blooms anew, and it’s time to turn inwards to appreciate your own uniqueness, individuality and authenticity. It’s a time to celebrate, appreciate, and embrace your (many) quirks, talents and idiosyncrasies. And as you do, allow yourself to feel more vital and energized for the year ahead.

When the Yi Wood Day Master meets the 2024 Jia Chen (甲辰) or Wood Dragon year, there is mentor luck available. Granted, the term Rob Wealth does not sound too appealing. However, in Bazi, there are always ways to turn things in your favour.
ROB WEALTH YEAR: STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
Pictorially, we visualize the Yi Wood as soft plants. The Jia Wood is visualized as a tree. For both Wood elements to grow, they need sunlight. Obviously, it’s easier for the Jia Wood to receive the sunlight as opposed to the Yi Wood that grows on the ground.
But what happens when a soft plant comes up against a big tree? Perfect opportunity to climb up the Jia Wood and make it easier to reach the sunlight! Look closely at the picture. See the creepers climbing up the tree trunk?
Converted to our daily lives, this picture represents the opportunity to meet with a mentor. In 2024, the Yi Wood Day Master has a chance to stand on the shoulders of giants!
THE MENTOR EFFECT
From the picture itself you can see, very obviously, that the Yi Wood Day Master has got mentor luck in 2024. Someone with the track record, experience and network to help you take your game to the next level. But just because there is mentor luck available, doesn’t mean that a genie is going to magically appear and give you three wishes! You need to do your part to network, to build the relationship, and to give back.
What else can the Yi Wood Day Master do with a Jia Chen year? Another possible interpretation of the Rob Wealth is competitors. Your competitors are now visible. You can check out what they are doing (Direct Wealth) as well as their user experience (IR).
Another way to interpret the ‘scary term’ Rob Wealth is team work. Rob Wealth is also a leadership star. This refers to the people who work with you, who work under you, supports you, basically, your team! Therefore, on a personal basis, this would be a good year to focus on enhancing your leadership skills by working on your ability to inspire and galvanize your team to reach a common goal.
