With each passing month, we inch closer to 2024, the year of the Wood Dragon, and the official start of Period 9. Given that this is such an important year, I thought that I should start my annual forecasts a little earlier than usual, so that everyone will have more time to prepare. So let’s start by examining what the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon presents, at a broad level, to the Wu Earth Day Master.
7 Killings Year: Compulsion to Move
Each of the 10 Day Masters reacts to their 7 Killings very differently. But now, thanks to AI-generated art, I can try to illustrate the pictorial side of Bazi. Please bear in mind that this is one possible interpretation of the Wu Earth facing the Jia Chen (Wood Dragon). When it comes to the pictorial side of Bazi, different practitioners will see different pictures.
Think of a tree growing on a mountain. As the tree grows, it sends its roots deep into the soil, through the crevices, seeking the nutrients hidden deep inside.
The Pressure of Growth
When this picture is presented to you, the first thing that may come to mind could be a feeling of pressure. Perhaps even a feeling of impending additional burdens, responsibilities or even added mental weight. This feeling of pressure may bring about a compulsion to move.
Additionally, as the tree sends its roots into the ground, it dislodges little pebbles that will roll down the hill. These little pebbles represent small actions that the Wu Earth Day Master can take, strategically, throughout 2024. But what type of actions? The Bazi holds a clue!
The Snowball Effect
One possible strategy for the Wu Earth Day Master is to create small, consistent, and sustainable actions that are designed to eventually snowball into a bigger effect. Why action? Because 7 Killings is action-oriented. And to what effect? Depends on your objective or goal or strategy for the year. Like playing a game of chess. A pawn here, a piece there, to eventually dominate the board.
Areas of Focus
In which areas could you be looking to for action-taking? Well, can I take small actions to maximize my existing network and systems? Can I take small actions to expand my professional network? Are my friends just for gossip and brunch, or is there any way we can build the friendship into a mutually beneficial relationship? Or are there dormant networks that you may have neglected recently? Perhaps it’s time to reconnect?
At a very broad level, this is the opportunity that the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon is presenting to you, the Wu Earth Day Master. Will there be feelings of pressure? High possibility. How well you work this, will depend on how open you are to tap into your own hidden resources. Hence, grace under pressure. Because in 2024, the Wu Earth Day Master will be required to dig deep.
Conclusion: Embrace the Journey
2024 offers a transformative journey for the Wu Earth Day Master. By taking small, strategic actions and leveraging existing networks, you can turn pressure into progress and challenges into opportunities. Embrace the compulsion to move, dig deep into your resources, and let the energy of the Wood Dragon guide you towards a year of growth and success.
