JANUARY 2024 | YI WOOD DAY MASTER

In the study of the 60 Pillars, the Yi Chou (乙丑) is often described as a winter-blooming flower. Tiny, hardy green shrubs that poke their early leaves through the white pristine snow. That magical first bloom! For the Yi Wood Day Master, January 2024’s Yi Chou (乙丑) month is an opportunity for a ‘first bloom’ – a metaphor for your continued individual growth and development.

FRIEND MONTH: TO SERVE? OR BE SERVED?

In Bazi, the Friend star is often associated with networking and teamwork. When the Friend star comes sitting on the Indirect Wealth, 7 Killings, and Indirect Resource, you may find yourself with a hectic month where you are busy solving other people’s problems. Because what affects one, affects all. Which means that January 2024’s Yi Chou (乙丑) month is a great month for a breakthrough achievement in the area of teamwork.

Certainly, a good leader always serves. But there must be boundaries – something that the Yi Wood Day Master sometimes need to be reminded of. Let’s not lose ourselves in service to others, to the extent that our own personal growth and development are neglected. While selflessness is a commendable trait, it is essential to strike a balance between the needs of others and taking care of oneself.

 Because in January 2024’s Yi Chou (乙丑) month, beyond the possibilities of teamwork, the Yi Wood Day Master has a month’s energy to create a personal breakthrough – that magical spark of first bloom within you.

THE FIRST BLOOM

Since you are reading this blog, I guess it would be safe to assume that my readers were not born yesterday. When we were young, that personal breakthrough was more easily apparent. For example, the first time we learned to tie up our own shoelaces! That was a pretty big breakthrough! But as we grow older, the magic of that first bloom is often buried by our list of important things to do.

Yet, this personal breakthrough is so important to keep that spark within us going forward. This elusive ‘first bloom’ concept that I am (clearly) struggling to describe, is an internal feeling. Something akin to an ‘aha moment’. That moment of clarity, understanding, or discovery. When something clicks, and you gain a new perspective or understanding.

We’ve all experienced this moment in the past. Think back. Can you describe your last first bloom or ‘aha moment’? I can. Mine is deeply etched in my memory – that first time when, after struggling to apply the complex layers of Bazi for almost a year, suddenly, the Bazi unfolded before my eyes and I realized that I could read a Bazi chart. To be honest, at that moment, I felt like King Kong on crack. That ‘first bloom’, that first realization that I really could read a Bazi chart, gave me the confidence to pursue the path of a Bazi practitioner. Without that ‘first bloom’, this blog wouldn’t even exist.

So I’m asking you, the Yi Wood Day Master, to make time in January 2024 for that ‘aha moment’ or ‘first bloom’ to happen. This ‘aha moment’ can come in many ways. It could be a problem that you need to solve. Perhaps, a certain relationship you are trying to establish. Maybe, a topic of knowledge that you are trying to learn. Or could it be a physical boundary that you are trying to surpass? Or even a spiritual ‘first bloom’ that symbolizes the beginning of your journey towards self-awareness, enlightenment or a deeper understanding of self.

Whichever areas of life your ‘first bloom’ occurs, I hope that it gives you that spark of confidence that will propel you towards greater achievements in 2024 – your Rob Wealth year.

DECEMBER 2023: YI WOOD DAY MASTERS AND THE SPIRIT OF GRATITUDE

For the Yi Wood Day Master, December 2023’s Jia Zi month comes as Rob Wealth sitting on Indirect Resource. For you, the spirit of gratitude. Because the Rob Wealth always brings along a sense of competition, of wanting to keep up with the Joneses. But behind the retail therapy of the Rob Wealth, lies an altruistic streak that always puts others first.

December 2023 Bazi
December 2023 Bazi Chart. Plotted on: www.joeyyap.com/bzchart

So as the Christmas trees deck the shopping malls, let gratitude be the melody that accompanies your every step. It’s more than a fleeting acknowledgment; it’s a state of being. Take a gratitude walk, where each step resonates with appreciation for the simple wonders around you – the gentle breeze ruffling its playful fingers through your hair, the grass beneath your feet, and the beauty of nature in all its glory. As you walk, let your heart swell with gratitude for the experiences that shaped your year, the challenges that fortified you, and the people who walked beside you through it all.

Create a tangible embodiment of gratitude with a festive gratitude jar. Encourage family and friends to contribute notes of thankfulness throughout the season. On Christmas day, open the jar and bask in the collective warmth of shared appreciation. From the profound to the mundane, these notes serve as a poignant reminder that gratitude is a gift that multiplies when shared. It transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary blessings, fostering a spirit of thanksgiving that becomes the cornerstone of a truly joyous Christmas.

Amid the sparkle of holiday lights and the comforting aroma of seasonal treats, take a moment to pen heartfelt letters of gratitude. Express your appreciation for the people who have touched your life, the experiences that shaped your journey, and the lessons that brought growth. In the act of writing, discover that gratitude has a beautiful way of not only acknowledging the past but also infusing the present with a profound sense of contentment and peace.

NOVEMBER 2023 | JIA 甲 AND YI 乙 DAY MASTERS | CLARITY OF EMOTIONS

November 2023 may feel rather ‘wishy-washy’ for the Wood Day master as you are poised to receive a strong wave of emotional energy.

Perhaps, you experience an uptick in exciting and amazing ideas caused by an inundation of information and data. Suddenly, lights bulbs seem to be popping up in your head all the time. Some of these ideas may even be given to you by other people – literally making November 2023 feel like people are feeding you with opportunities. But along with this, on the negative spectrum, it may feel like there are too many opinions around you.

So many, in fact, that you find yourself at a loss. Which idea should you work on first? At best, nothing much got done due to the many distractions. At worst, you experience fatigue as you are buffeted by the many ideas and opinions.

Basically, with so much Water in the November 2023 Bazi Chart, the Jia and Yi Wood Day Masters may find it a little hard to think straight.

The trick therefore, is to filter before you become overwhelmed in order to be more intentional about how you handle information and make your priorities clear and simple.

JIA WOOD DAY MASTERS

2023 November Bazi

Jia Wood Day Masters can use simple techniques like journaling or art to filter through your thoughts. Of course, it would be great if we have a pensieve. But we’re not all of us Dumbledore! So we have to create our own version of the pensieve. If journaling sounds too labour intensive to you, sometimes a good ol’ brain dump can also be helpful to keep yourself on track.

YI WOOD DAY MASTERS

2023 November Bazi

Both Wood Day Masters are a high risk of over-analysis paralysis in November 2023. But for the Yi Wood, the prosperous Water energies may have you particularly indecisive, swaying back and forth at the whims of the tide. Should I go left? Or should I turn right? Can’t decide!

I would like you to be aware of this if you have a particularly important and urgent decision that must be made in November. Because you must have a strategy on hand to filter out the unnecessary noise. However, if you do not have anything of particular importance to decide, why not make use of the energy of the month to get out of your comfort zone and try something new?

OCTOBER 2023: YI WOOD DAY MASTER

Paddy fields are a common sight in Asia. At the beginning of the planting season, the paddy fields are flooded with water to support the young seedlings. Flooding rice fields improves the growth of rice, reduces vulnerability to uneven rainfall and produces higher yields relative to dry soils by reducing pests and weeds. This influx of water, is representative of the October 2023 Bazi Chart in relation to the Yi Wood Day Master.

While the energies certainly paint a pretty picture, how can we use this as a month-long strategy?

YI WOOD DAY MASTER: DARE TO FAIL

With a surge of Direct Resource energies coming at the Yi Wood Day Master, the October 2023 Bazi Chart presents an ideal environment to deep dive into a certain body of knowledge.

Since a month is not a very long time, let’s start by using your Ding Fire Output star to create a simple learning strategy. Why? To avoid wasting time! Couple that with your Wu Earth Wealth star to establish a learning plan with clearly defined goals and objectives. With your Xin Metal Influence star, take every opportunity to practice what you have learnt and allow yourself the room to fail. Please don’t fear failure. It’s the best teacher we have.

From a business or career perspective, the energies of the October 2023 Bazi Chart makes this a good month to test out new ideas, again with the objective of finding out what works and what doesn’t. Again, there must be a strategy coupled with measurable results. But with the Xin Metal Influence star, this becomes an element of risk management. By the end of the month, the goal is to have a clear-cut picture of what is viable, and what is not.

SEPTEMBER 2023: YI WOOD DAY MASTER – XIN METAL IS SHARP

A Bazi forecast for the month of September 2023 will revolve solely around the Xin Metal. The Month Master for September 2023 is the Xin You pillar – a pure Xin Metal pillar. In essence, this month’s series, is almost akin to suggestions on how to use your Xin Metal. Here are some ideas for the Yi Wood Day Master to consider:  

September 2023 Forecast

YI WOOD DAY MASTER: XIN METAL IS SHARP  

For the Yi Wood Day Master, September 2023’s Xin You pillar brings an opportunity to bring an extra edge to your mental acuity. Already a fast thinker, Yi Wood Day Masters can achieve greater heights of heightened mental acuity through some relatively simple exercises such as cognitive exercises like puzzles, brain games, and reading. Engaging in activities that challenge your thinking patterns enhances neural connections and cognitive flexibility. Additionally, establish a daily routine that includes quality sleep, as sleep plays a pivotal role in consolidating memories and promoting overall cognitive function.  

Physical health is intertwined with mental sharpness. Regular exercise boosts blood flow to the brain, fostering alertness and mental clarity. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. A balanced diet rich in nutrient-dense foods like whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables provides the necessary fuel for optimal brain function. Stay hydrated as well, as even mild dehydration can impact cognitive performance.  

Lifestyle adjustments can further enhance sharpness. Minimize distractions by practicing focused work or study sessions and employing techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique, where you work intensely for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation to improve concentration and reduce stress, both of which contribute to mental sharpness.

MARCH 2023: YI WOOD DAY MASTER – ONE AMONG MANY

Pretty flowers are meant to be admired. But when you are one among many? It can be a little frustrating and challenging. Especially true if you feel like you’re not standing out or making a significant impact. But… there are strength in numbers… so here’s how you can make the best of March 2023.

  1. Focus on your strengths: Identify your strengths and unique skills, and focus on developing them. This can help you stand out and make a valuable contribution, even if you’re one among many.
  2. Collaborate with others: Look for opportunities to collaborate with others in your group or team. This can help you build relationships and create synergies that can lead to better outcomes.
  3. Network and build relationships: Take the time to get to know the people in your group or team, and build relationships with them. This can help you establish yourself as a valuable member of the group and can lead to new opportunities.

If you are a Yi Wood Day Master, you’d better be networking in March 2023. After all, aren’t you the natural connector? There is safety in numbers. However, do be aware that you may be a little more susceptible to the effects of peer pressure this month.

2023 AND THE YI WOOD DAY MASTER

What does the 2023 year of the Water Rabbit bring to the Yi Wood Day Master? Regardless of what’s happening outside, regardless of what’s going on in your 12 animal signs, this series explores what else the 10 Day Masters can do to create growth in 2023?

WHAT’S GOING ON?

The 2023 Year of the Water Rabbit infuses each of our Bazi Charts with different types of energy. Its arrival, amps up or strengthens different parts of our charts. And from there, we can add another layer of strategy to make 2023 a success.

To make this easily applicable, I will share this in the form of keywords. At this juncture, you might ask, what if I don’t intend to follow these strategies? What if I don’t find these keywords applicable to my situation?

The answer: nothing! These keywords represent the broader energies brought to you by the Gui Mao. To use it or not, is your choice!

2023 AND THE YI WOOD DAY MASTER

2023 Yi Wood Day Master

For the Yi Wood Day Master, the Water Rabbit or Gui Mao, presents as Indirect Resource sitting on a Friend star.

With Indirect Resource on the Heavenly Stems, the first key word is CONNECT. The role of Indirect Resource is always to connect different bits of data together.

In the Earthly Branch, we find your Friend star:

  • The Friend star can represent your sense of self. 2023 can be a year where you prioritize some ‘me time’ to connect again with yourself. Sometimes, in the daily hustle and bustle of life, we put ourselves on the back burner. This is a good year to prioritize some self-care.
  • The Friend star can also represent your network of friends. 2023 is a great year to create some variety among the people you hang out with! Create a more diverse group of friends. Or, you could make the effort to re-connect with your friends. As we grow in life, sometimes we drift apart. Perhaps 2023 is the year to re-establish those bonds.
  • The Friend star can also represent people or communities. 2023, for the Yi Wood Day Master, could be a year where you act as a bridge between diverse communities. (Note: Yes, there are similarities or overlaps between the Rob Wealth and Friend Star.)
  • Finally, the Friend star can be very personal. 2023 is a great year for the Yi Wood Day Master to focus on continuous learning and personal development. This could include learning new skills, complementary skills that can be useful to you in the future.

The above are the keywords or hints that the 2023 year of the Water Rabbit is bringing to the Yi Wood Day Master. No doubt, this is beginning to feel like an inward-facing year, especially if you are a Yi Chou or a Yi You Day Master.

I would like to add just one caution to this: the Indirect Resource is all about connecting dots and pieces of information. Therefore, when the Indirect Resource star is too strong, it can become paranoid. Please have some awareness of this. The Indirect Resource turns paranoid when you have nothing to do. When your mind is idle. Therefore, my suggestion would be, at the very least, to focus on personal development.

JANUARY 2023: YI WOOD DAY MASTER

Only the hardiest plants survive the harsh winters. While the ground is frozen solid, the Yi Wood lies dormant, in hibernation. But beneath that stillness, there is still growth underground. Never discount the resilience of the Yi Wood! Like the hardy plant that represents you, January 2023 is a great time to focus on self development for the Yi Wood Day Masters.

Self development, like a hardy plant in winter, requires resilience and determination in the face of challenges and adversity. Just as a hardy plant must weather the harsh conditions of winter, we must also find ways to thrive and grow despite the difficulties we may face in life.

One way to cultivate self development like a hardy plant in winter is to set clear goals and work towards them consistently, even when faced with setbacks or obstacles. This can involve setting aside time for personal growth activities, such as learning new skills or pursuing new hobbies, and staying focused on your long-term goals.

Another important aspect of self development is to maintain a positive attitude and mindset, even in the face of challenges. This can involve finding ways to stay motivated and inspired, and seeking out support and guidance from others when needed.

Finally, it is important to take care of your physical and emotional well-being, as these are key factors in your overall sense of well-being and ability to thrive. This can involve engaging in activities that nourish your body and mind, such as exercising, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough rest.

Overall, cultivating self development like a hardy plant in winter requires a combination of focus, determination, and self-care. By taking these steps, you can weather the winter of life and continue to grow and thrive.
