After discussing the auspicious and maleficent stars, we will also cover the monthly fortune trends. Although there are many maleficent stars this year, your auspicious star, when combined with the monthly stars, can help resolve many challenges. I will explain the monthly fortune trends below. Among the twelve zodiac animals, the Dragon is the only one not easily seen, yet it is the guardian deity of the Chinese people. This year, while friends born in the Year of the Dragon have external support, they must also be careful of troubles seeking them out. It's easy to get involved in disputes and legal troubles externally. When going out, be cautious and avoid conflicts with others, lest you find yourself in a difficult struggle. This year, there are also people outside who want to help you, making it easier to achieve success and gain a promotion in status. Although this sounds good, tangible benefits may not be easily obtained. This year, prioritize being principled first, then pragmatic. When taking on projects, don't be overly concerned with face and extravagance. Ensure you secure direct benefits and sufficient gross profit from the other party to cover the project's risks before accepting the work. When operating externally this year, do not violate the established rules of your company or your clients' companies, as it's easy to be framed or exposed, leading to a passive situation. Regarding leadership, your superiors may face difficulties from their own management this year. You need to be self-reliant and not overly dependent on others to complete your work targets. Leaders who are usually not very friendly to you might surprisingly support you at critical moments this year. Remember to maintain good relations with them this year, even if you don't particularly enjoy dealing with them. Due to the likelihood of disputes and legal issues arising from external challenges, when handling major matters, be sure to secure written agreements that can protect you. Don't be careless about this. If you rely too much on personal connections without proper documentation, you could easily be backstabbed and become passive. Don't be overly aggressive in taking on responsibilities beyond your capabilities. If there's a project you can't handle, seek assistance even if it means sharing the credit. For Dragon friends, the auspicious star this year is Tian Jie Star. This is a star that can turn misfortune into blessing, but there's a phenomenon of "two fists being no match for four hands" this year. You must proceed with caution and avoid risks. For example, in volatile financial speculations like the stock market, don't invest all your capital at once. When encountering difficulties, disasters, legal troubles, illnesses, or other adverse situations, the power of Tian Jie Star will come into play, helping you overcome the crisis, turning major issues into minor ones, and minor ones into none. Actually, there is an antidote within your life palace this year, so don't worry excessively about the ominous things mentioned. Let me explain the characteristics of Tian Jie Star: 1. Turn Misfortune into Blessing: This is the core function of Tian Jie Star. It cannot prevent bad things from happening, but after they occur, it can significantly reduce their negative impact and help you find solutions to extricate yourself from the predicament. This star actually helps alleviate some potential challenges you may face this year. Why say potential? Because the actual development depends more accurately on the structure of your Eight Characters to judge the direction of your fortune in this Horse Year. 2. Resolve Legal Disputes: When encountering lawsuits, disputes, or conflicts with authorities or superiors, Tian Jie Star can bring favorable turning points, helping to settle matters. This is very important for you this year. Remember the principle of "the wise yield" that I mention in all my videos. 3. Resolve Illness and Disasters: For health-related calamities, Tian Jie Star can promote recovery and resolve the dangers of illness. 4. Difficulty First, Ease Later: The process of Tian Jie Star taking effect is often "see disaster first, then obtain resolution." This means you might first experience a period of difficulty or pressure, but will eventually find a way out and successfully resolve it. Your zodiac sign has this characteristic this year. This star is one that can reduce destructive power after bad things happen. It allows you to survive fatal blows (resolving the worst consequences) and clear negative effects from yourself (solving troubles). These are the characteristics of Tian Jie Star. If combined with other auspicious stars like Yue De and Tian De, it will be even more powerful in resolving any difficulties. Fortune-telling analysis emphasizes the overall configuration; looking at a single star in isolation is not comprehensive. The strength of Tian Jie Star's effect depends on the combination of the entire birth chart. If there are too many maleficent stars in the chart, Tian Jie Star will also find it very strenuous to resolve them. This is a year with relatively many maleficent stars for friends born in the Year of the Dragon. Look at your management this year. If there are two leaders, choose the less stressful one to seek help from. Their capability this year can easily help you solve problems. After discussing the auspicious star, let's understand the maleficent stars and how to neutralize their negative nature and guard against their damage to this year's fortune. First, let's talk about Tian Gou Star. Tian Gou Star is a famous maleficent star in traditional Chinese fortune-telling, revered for the suddenness and destructiveness it brings. If you've read Journey to the West, you know Erlang Shen's celestial dog was even difficult for Sun Wukong to handle. Tian Gou is a maleficent star associated with injury, fright, accidents, and obstacles. Its image originates from the mythological legend of the celestial dog eating the moon (lunar eclipse), symbolizing sudden devouring and darkness. Tian Gou during a lunar eclipse represents a bad omen. This is something for Dragons to be careful about, of course, what specific results occur depend on the structure of your Eight Characters. Here, I've compiled the characteristics of Tian Gou for you; be cautious of these matters: • Health Aspects Bloodshed Disaster: Prone to accidental injuries, such as falls, collisions, cuts, bites (especially from animals), requiring surgery, etc . Sudden acute illnesses, fevers, inflammations. • Career and Wealth Aspects Well-planned things suddenly fail due to unforeseen changes. Unexplained loss of money, theft, or sudden investment failures. Encountering unforeseen obstacles and sabotage in work or business. • Life and Interpersonal Aspects: Encountering terrifying or horrifying events or scenes for no reason. Prone to arguments and disputes with people, even lawsuits (especially when combined with other maleficent stars). Travel prone to unexpected delays, minor car accidents, etc. • Impact on Childbirth: In traditional terms, Tian Gou Star is also famously known as the "difficult birth star" or "blood basin star." In ancient times, it was considered unfavorable for pregnant women during childbirth, prone to dystocia or miscarriage. In modern terms, it can be interpreted as the pregnancy and childbirth process potentially having more twists, turns, and frights than usual, requiring extra caution. • Mental Aspect: Prone to feeling restless, suspicious, and having poor sleep throughout the year. Traditional neutralization methods include: • Act Cautiously: In the year when Tian Gou Star affects your life, be extra careful in all matters. Avoid high-risk activities (like strenuous exercise, adventure), stay away from dangerous places (like construction sites, remote areas) . • Active Manifestation: Traditionally, there are practices like "donating blood" or "getting dental cleaning," which are akin to actively manifesting a "bloodshed disaster" in a small, controlled way to avoid a large, uncontrollable accident. This is an extension of the "spend money to ward off disaster" mindset. This can also serve as advice for those offending Tai Sui. • Prayers and Rituals: Folklore involves worshiping Tai Sui, wearing Tai Sui talismans, performing related prayer rituals, etc., to seek divine protection and neutralize the negative energy of Tian Gou and other maleficent stars. • Perform Good Deeds: The fundamental way is to accumulate good karma. It's believed that those with deep blessings can naturally turn misfortune into fortune, weakening the influence of maleficent stars. Now let's talk about Diao Ke Star. Diao Ke Star is a maleficent star governing "grief, mourning illnesses, funeral attire." Its influence is often related to illnesses, death, and other sad events. This is a star associated with funeral matters. Friends born in the Year of the Dragon are advised not to attend funerals this year to avoid affecting your fortune. You can tell people your feng shui master said you shouldn't attend funerals. This is quite common among fortune- telling clients. When the birth chart or the year's fortune encounters Diao Ke Star, especially when it aligns with other maleficent stars, it can easily trigger the following issues: • Interpersonal and Family Aspects: Likely need to visit the sick or attend funerals: This year, you may likely need to visit seriously ill relatives or friends or attend funeral ceremonies. It may not directly affect you personally but more likely people in your network of relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors. Prone to receiving bad news from afar. Visit elderly family members during major holidays this year . The family atmosphere may become relatively low-spirited and oppressive. • Health Aspects For the individual, Diao Ke Star typically suggests low health luck, prone to illness with a relatively long recovery period. Pay special attention to health maintenance, guard against relapse of old illnesses or minor illnesses developing into serious ones.It emphasizes the imagery of "illness," while the direct "death" imagery is usually more strongly主导 by another maleficent star, Sang Men. • Emotional and Mental Aspects: Emotions easily affected throughout the year, becoming sentimental, pessimistic, and negative. May feel inexplicably restless or have bad premonitions. The essence of Diao Ke Star is a symbol of "sad events." In modern society, interpreting it requires more rationality and comprehensiveness: • View as a Warning: Encountering Diao Ke in the year's fortune should first be seen as a health warning. It reminds you to pay extra attention to the health of yourself and your family (especially elders) this year, get regular check-ups, and seek timely medical treatment . • Mental Preparation: It means you may need to spend more time and energy this year dealing with negative events in interpersonal interactions, such as comforting sick friends, helping handle unfortunate affairs, etc. Prepare mentally and manage your emotions in advance. • Not Absolute: Avoid directly concluding that a funeral must happen. Its manifestation might just be attending one funeral, or the passing of a long-ill friend. It could also manifest as your own recovery process from a serious illness (equivalent to sending away the "illness demon"). • Accumulate Goodness and Cultivate the Mind: Traditionally, it's believed that performing more good deeds and cultivating one's character can accumulate blessings and reduce the influence of maleficent stars. Maintaining a positive attitude and caring for family health are the most practical coping methods. Do more good deeds yourself. In summary, when Diao Ke Star affects your life, don't panic excessively, but be prudent. Focus should be on caring for health and stabilizing emotions. Yue Sha is a maleficent star governing "entanglement, troubles, troubles from women." Male Dragon friends this year are prone to romantic entanglements (peach blossom煞), female friends prone to gynecological issues, easily having problems to solve due to women. This star is particularly harmful to married friends. It can easily prevent you from concentrating on handling work properly this year. "Yue" (moon) traditionally relates to women and matters associated with the yin element. Main Influences and Manifestations - Yue Sha • Interpersonal Aspects (especially concerning women): Prone to attracting disputes, quarrels due to women. The scope of "women" here is broad, possibly including female colleagues, friends, relatives, or even strangers. In matters like cooperation or transactions, easily burdened, deceived, or suffer losses due to female partners or clients. May get entangled in disputes or predicaments caused by women. • Career and Life Aspects: Prone to encountering hidden obstacles in the progress of affairs. These obstacles are often hard to detect or have unclear sources, making you feel helpless. Easily troubled by shameful, disgraceful private matters (yin si) or having your weak points exposed. Need extra caution during activities at night or in dark environments, prone to encountering不顺 or accidents. • Health Aspects: Need to pay attention to gynecological or blood-related diseases (corresponding to the traditional "yin" imagery). Overall health fortune may be lower, prone to feeling tired and lacking energy. How to mitigate this maleficent star: Yue Sha • Interpersonal Relationship Warning: Yue Sha in the year's fortune or birth chart indicates you should be more cautious and rational when dealing with women. In matters related to cooperation and financial dealings, clarify rights and responsibilities with female partners, avoid unclear accounts and人情债. • Mind Your Privacy: Reminds you to protect personal privacy, avoid getting involved in other unnecessary circules, especially those disgraceful, under-the-table matters. • Health Reminder: For women, this is a reminder of gynecological health; for everyone, pay attention to regular routines, avoid staying up late (responding to the "moon" imagery), and maintain health. • Don't Over Worry: Yue Sha is a very weak star; its negative nature is far less than stars like Tian Gou, Diao Ke, or Bai Hu. Often, it may merely manifest as trivial interpersonal annoyances or minor不顺. There's absolutely no need to be anxious about it. The actual situation depends on the structure of your Eight Characters for a definitive conclusion. "Gua Su" is an "isolating star" not very favorable for emotional and marital life. The core imagery of Gua Su Star is "widowhood/widowerhood," "solitary living," "cold and desolate." It doesn't directly bring bloodshed or disaster but mainly affects a person's personality, state of mind, and interpersonal relationships, especially intimate relationships. • Negative aspect: May bring emotional setbacks, late marriage, feelings of loneliness after marriage, or living apart frequently. • Positive aspect: Represents qualities like mental independence, inner strength, good at thinking, and not following the crowd. Main Influences and Manifestations - Gua Su • Emotional and Marital Aspects : Faint Romantic Opportunities: Romantic opportunities come later, fewer, or the emotional path is more challenging for you, making it hard to find a suitable soulmate. • Post-Marriage Estrangement: Even after marriage, prone to having an emotional gap with the spouse, lacking deep emotional communication, "sharing a bed but having different dreams," or living apart frequently due to work, life, etc. • Inclination Towards Singlehood: Doesn't meant that you will be having singlehood for whole life but refers to oneself being prone to choosing an independent lifestyle not reliant on a partner. In modern society, this can manifest as actively choosing singlehood or not viewing marriage as a life necessity. • Interpersonal and Social Relations Not adept at handling complex interpersonal relationships, having a smaller social circle, prone to feeling out of place with the surrounding environment. Monthly Fortune Analysis : All months here refer to the Gregorian calendar. February: Actually, this month is a weak point for many zodiac signs. For Dragon friends, be very careful in your daily life because the combination of the monthly star and your yearly star has some challenges for your fortune, making it a month prone to injuries. This month, you're also easily betrayed in career matters or have your entire year's fortune affected by an accident. This month is also our Spring Festival.
