Winter is a rather funny time, it is a time for rest while it is also a time to ponder for worry. Okay, disclaimer … my country have ZERO winter and we only worry about no water and too much water all the rime. The month of Wood Ox is like the time where ice start to melt and life is just releasing itself from the icy prison. You get to see how resilience life has been as most will sprung back into life as if nothing has happen.

Meeting with the Rob Wealth and Direct Wealth, it is like a race to the available resources when the ice just first broke and melt. Who is fast and strong shall gain the ground for the next cycle of growth. There is a need to understand the competitive landscape while capturing the available opportunity for yourself. You might want to take your time but other will not be gentle with you. The RW/DW combination has always been a spendthrift combination where its a great opportunity to show some love and appreciation toward those that help you in your journey. Go buy some Chinese New Year (oopsss … skipped Christmas) hamper lahhhh !!!

The small shall band together, form a pack and grow in strength. While opportunity is enticing, at its initial infant stage, it can get increasingly risky to venture in alone. Finding a way to work with other of same objective can vastly reduce the risk and also it make the journey more enjoyable. The combination of Friends and Indirect Wealth give rise to a situation where there is a need to share opportunity with those around you. You might need other to survive as well in order for you to thrive … Take the example of homestay business where you might be overbooked due to a recent event, it is good to pass on the booking to other homestay operator as so the industry benefit as a whole.

The sun coming up to say hello to the ice, as if people don’t know you are around mehhh. Direct Resource is meeting up with Hurting Officer, carry the energy where you have something to say but you are waiting for other to ask. There is this delicate play of waiting for the moment to declare your intention while some tension is building up. Overhyping the situation can sometimes kill the excitement when the news is finally broke and hence you have to manage your excitement. Sun should gently rise its temperature as it slowly caress the snow to melt and nourish the land.

Trying to melt ice for some life saving water where all the grass and wood is too wet to sustain a fire. The Indirect Resource and Eating God combination is an extremely idealistic situation where in reality hard to execute. In classical study, this combination is named Owl stealing Food where one has too much ideas that it fail to explain where it come from and it give an impression of hallucination and delusion. Imagine someone suggest to melt ice in the arctic for water … there is no fuel (wood) to start a fire to begin with. Great idea need some time to organized and mature, so put your plan on paper and start the thawing process.

Moss growing on stone surface making everything slippery. Direct Officer is meeting with Rob Wealth. This walking surface need some maintenance to prevent unforeseen circumstance (slip and fall) to happen. Do not just look at competition as an external force, sometimes your mind also compete for existing resource and this is where discipline come into play to divert yourself back to the right path. You sure you want to turn on the PS5 while other has begin to chase for their next year sales target ?

Bacteria is small but yet it can do some much damage. Remember that the world literally change overnight because a bug call COVID ? The month combination is of 7 Killing and Friends which usually signal a time trimming. Evolution is sometimes a group game where you sacrifice a few to learn for the mass. Getting more people onboard can often buy time to find the exact solution to the trouble ahead. So, take little time to come together and make the numbers before facing the obstacle ahead as a united entity of strength.
Geng Metal
While others are just waking up from the slumber of winter you are already making a killing. The Direct Wealth and Direct Resource combination signify you using your previous knowledge to leap ahead of other. As how modern farming equipment make harvesting crop an easy job for all farmer. Putting in effort ahead of others will give you result ahead of others. You get to learn from your mistake while other as still blur with their case. What you do with the extra time in your hand as you have already done with your field ? … this is what separate the achiever.
Xin Metal
Although metal is suppose to be rigid and yet there is way to make it flexible. The combination of Indirect Wealth and Indirect Resource appearing this month give rise to opportunity that other is not looking at. The flexible metal hose give us the necessary protection while also the freedom to twist and turn to find a way to success. Being willing to explore available possibility will open door to opportunity that might first seem as not accessible. Try not to get lost while exploring possibilities, in the end you do have a goal to achieve.
Ren Water
What happen when a land is saturated with water? it become unbearable and inconvenient others. The Hurting Officer and Direct Officer combination always signal a trouble maker not following the general available guideline. While you try to stand out, you might be upsetting the natural order of things. Flash flooding happen because there is just too much water for the existing infrastructure to take on. It is sometimes great to printout that the current system is not working but changes sometimes need time and resources.
Gui Water
Did you know that some frog has evolve the ability to stay dead in winter and magically sprung back into life later. The Eating God and 7 Killing combination is the hallmark of a problem solver. No matter how tough the situation may present itself you do not stay dead for long. One will find solution to get the agenda moving and eventually you will find the road that lead you to Rome. Stick to you plan and destination as winter will eventually go away.
Thank you Kevin! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
