Li Chun ~ 2025 (乙巳年吴遂大将军): 双春闰月逢青蛇,立春四人要避春。


Li Chun 立春 for 2025 starts around 10pm on 3 February 2025. While there is a phenomenon in Singapore of depositing money, there are some cautionary signs to take note about so as to protect oneself at the energetic level.

Individuals with the zodiac signs of Snake 巳,Tiger 寅,Monkey 申,Pig 亥 in either the year, month, day, hour, life and conception palace are recommended to avoid being out in the open during 9pm till 11pm (回避立春时星辰之光既可). This is because during this time, there is a change of cosmic energy from the previous Grand Duke to the new Grand Duke. This energy change will afflict and affect these zodiac signs in one’s natal chart.

For those who are concerned about the flying stars changes during Li Chun, please note that the cosmic energy from the flying stars has already begun since 26 Dec 2024. The calamity and sickness stars would have already settled in by now. Instead, the focus for Li Chun should be to dive into the zodiac signs.

The different pillars (i.e. year, month, day, hour) represent different aspects of a person’s destiny chart. To get a grasp of what areas are afflicted via the link here.


The Grand Duke for 乙巳 Wooden Snake year 2025 is General Wu Sui, 吴遂大将军 (字季高). He was an important general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He participated in the war to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion and made contributions to maintaining the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty (184 AD).

General Wu Sui was a loyal and upright person, and he did not flatter or fawn on others. During his time in office, he cared about the suffering of the people and paid attention to the development of agricultural production and was deeply loved by the people.

2025’s Goodness

Let’s talk about the good energy for 2025. We can simply use a magnetic compass or an app to coarsely locate these sectors in our home and make use of them.

Dog (戌) sector is where 紅鸞 or Red Phoenix energy resides. It is an auspicious star that governs weddings and celebrations. This energy helps dating couples to settle down. For singles males, activating this energy helps in mutual attraction of the potential love relationship partner.

Sector of Horse (午) is the commonly know 桃花 or Peach Blossom. Unlike the earlier Red Phoenix, the energy isn’t for settling down. Activating this sector invites beautiful women and charming men or gaining for oneself improve popularity and passion. This energy helps with one’s networking and marketing efforts, and helps to bring in leads. However, this could sometimes trigger greed if the natal chart is already endowed with Peach Blossom.

The snake (巳) sector which is where the Grand Duke resides, is charmed with 沐浴 or Bath energy. In the ancient days, baths were where promiscuous activity happened. Activating this energy helps improve sexual drive and gives rise to the ability of better handling the opposite sex that tends to be in high profile position.

The monkey (申) sector is also an interesting energy, 紅豔 or Red Romance, as the word 豔 suggest 豔遇; this energy primarily desire centered, passionate, romantic and sentimental, intentionally or accidentally activating this energy draws an opportunity to meet charming man or voluptuous for women. It helps improve sexual intimacy among marriage couples. Applying this energy with Feng Shui can greatly help couples conceive.

The north sector where the Rat (子) is; is where the annual Noble man hides. This energy won’t give you prosperity directly. Instead, it helps by leading you to a coach or mentor who would then help by challenging your status quo and giving inspirational moments.

The wealth noble man is based in a monthly rhyme (won’t be discussing it in this post). Instead, the wealth storage that is the southwest sector of Kun (坤) is of a better use. Especially when there are annual saving goals. This energy helps one to better  save money. If one has an investment plan that goes on a regular basis and finds it challenging to maintain the discipline, the use of this sector will definitely help.

Need to learn a new knowledge or up-skill for the new economy? The horse (午) sector that is the academia star will facilitate the opportunity, motivation and mental strength for learning to take place. The seeking of knowledge also aligns with peach blossom energy for 2025. Thus, one sensible route is to visit learning convention events and meet more people.

Another good energy to make use for 2025 is The Sun – 太阳(青龙):The Sun is alike a Nobleman Star (but) this deity is also about compassion and genuinely cares for people around them. As the name implies, this is being the Sun and that Ray of lights for other’s life. The key word for Green Dragon is being a Guiding Light for others. And this energy is hiding in the Horse (午) sector.

The Moon 太阴(六合)or other known as The Six Harmony or known as The Moon in the 12-General. This is an entrepreneur star – The Mastermind of Money; and the ability to create solutions to problems (seeing the gap in the market) which means having the vibration to start an alternative stream of income and in doing this help comes along the way. Traditionally, also because it is Yin Energy, denotes help and cooperation comes from females or from a more feminine nature. The key idea behind Six Harmony is being Creative and thinking out of the Box. And this energy sits in sector of monkey (申) in 2025 (together with 紅豔 or Red Romance).

Needing the inspiration and motivation to rise up to new challenges? We can make use of the Dragon Virtues – 龙德(朱雀)that is enchanted in the rat (子) sector. This deity / stars represent the ability to solve problems, overcome obstacles and rise above all. And, the opportunity to work with high ranking officials in the organization. As well as the ability to access resources to pursue goals and get things done. Do be mindful that the good stars are only as good as the goals in life.

The Fortune Virtue – 福德. This deity / stars focus on longevity, respects, relationship, health, kindness and officialdom (rise in ranks – 官贵). When activating this energy/ stars, one should not start gossip (backstabbing) towards others. Without negative talks and attacks; one will start attracting positive people to come in. Starting legal proceedings is also a last resort as it leads to a win-lose situation. Delayed reaction (emotions) and seeking win win are key ingredients. This energy rests in the Ox (丑) sector for 2025.

QMDJ – Business Management


In the aspect of business management, the day stem as the Querent, month stem is seen as the competitors and hour stem as the goods or inventory. Yang Earth will be regarded as the capital and birth door as the interest or return on capital. The place of business or the shop is referred to as the open door. When a middle man is involved, 6 harmony palace will be read in conjunction.

Chief or Scenic door is link to the wider aspect such as the market or the industry. Death door as it related to Yin Earth are often taken to be the landscape where the business is functioning or the property.

Where the business has debtor and creditors, Chief is regarded as the bank or lender while debtor is Heavenly Yi. And the creditors who is chasing after the debt comes under the purview of hurting door.

The relationship between each of these components, being clash or producing will be the primary focus of forecasting.

QMDJ – Work and Career Aspiration


QMDJ relating to work and career aspiration, exploring the use of 9 palaces to represent the various aspect.

Open Door generally represent work and career aspiration. Although, traditionally open door mean civil job roles while hidden door relates to military career paths. From experience, it sometimes is read the other way around with open door (having military arts stars as military, uniform group or government career) and hidden door (having academic stars as private, business and non uniform group career).

Next look at the 12 phrases the career is located, and whether it produces the year stem and zodiac signs of the Querent. And also look at yang earth element whether or not is produces the Querent, it is vital as it signals whether the job or career paths yields returns.

Assess the position and element of the grand duke, the horse star and nobleman star. Decide whether or not it is helping the career of choice. Next, also identify the Yang and Yin metal, as these are the difficult people the Querent might face. Sometimes, the difficult people is the Querent themselves.

Yi Wood (乙) as female and Geng Metal (庚) as male party in the relationship. Depending on the palaces they are at, if the 2 palace are producing or similar in energy signature, this will be read as auspicious.

Traditionally, 6 harmony (六合) is seen as the matchmaker, in this modern day and age, it could be read as a common goal between the couple. Life Door (生门) as the matrimonial home for the couple, this is usually in forecasting divorce cases.

Yin Fire (丁) has an energy signature of a mistress or confidant. And Yang Fire (丙) is the male lover to the wife or girlfriend. And the strength of the relationship is dependant on the energy phrases and the Yin-Yang polarity.

What’s right about Tiger and what’s left of the Dragon?

We often heard of this ‘Mystical‘ Feng Shui model (and often clueless about it) where the dragon side must be stronger than tiger side, a solid and broad mountain as backing so that we are blessed with nobleman’s help (贵人星) and an appealing bright hall (明堂) – symbolizing prosperity and smooth journey ahead.

How do we then measure and assess all that? In this article, I share how I’ve use HeTu (河图) numbers as a yardstick to this demystified this ‘Mystical’ model.

When I apply HeTu (河图) onto this model, the number are divided into 3 layers: 生数,成数,核心 ().

1, 2, 3 & 4 are known as producing numbers (生数) and they form the inner arrangement called ‘body’ – 体.

6, 7, 8 & 9 are known as forming numbers (成数) and they form the outer arrangement called ‘application’ – 用.

5 resides in the kernel and is the separation distance between producing and forming →  e.g. 1 (producing, 生数) + 5 (kernel, 核心) = 6 (forming, 成数).

As such, this draws the distinction between inner and outer arrangement, which gives rise to an important concept where the inner (阴) and outer (阳) arrangements are to be use complementarity (生成合用). This is also known as the layer of 人.

Knowing these numbers aren’t sufficient, as each number is sub-defined into Yin and Yang.

Yin (阴) possesses the properties: Still (静), absorb/receptive (吸收) has a form(有形), internal(内), self (我) and therefore perceived as a ‘body’ (阴体).

Yang (阳) possesses the properties: Movement(動), disperse/radiating (散/發射), formless(無形), external(外), others (他) and therefore perceived as a ‘force field’ known as ‘Qi’ (阳气).

Overlay the Dragon, Tiger, Tortoise, Phoenix over HeTu (河图). This the reason why internally Dragon (Left Side) is Yin (阴) / Quiet (静) therefore favours the external to be Yang (阳) / Movement (动). And on the Tiger (Right Side) is Yang (阳), prefer externalities to be Yin (阴) / Quiet (静).

Yin (阴) is receptive and exhibits an accumulative image. This means habit and specialization are Yin (阴).

Yang (阳) has a ‘kinetic’ nature therefore promotes the ability to innovate and visualize. This means thinking capability and intellectual is Yang (阳).

In summary, could be categorized into 4 broad aspect:
Dragon → Rank, Male, Intellectual, Contemplation, Strategy
Tiger → Career, Female, Habits
Tortoise → Nobility, Elders, Nobleman, Supports, Thinking
Phoenix → Specialization, Friends, Kids, Wealth

7 Star Robbery?


This is a North Facing, low floor, pool view apartment and the owner was under the impression that this apartment is endowed with a special flying star chart call 7 star robbery. And, was told that this special chart will allowed the apartment to tapped on the luck of the future Feng Shui period and become prosperous. Also, the layout of the structure avoided door piercing windows (穿堂煞). Hence, a good property to buy. However, over the years the prosperity in terms of health and wealth were mediocre.

7 Star Robbery – First and foremost, the baseline conditions to fulfill are rigorous and more so in the case of high rise apartments. This is a Special Chart that requires facing towards the South (离). In this case, the apartment is facing North (坎), in terms of Qi it is not receiving the correct cycle. Next there must a link between (离, 震, 乾) early / later heaven 卦 position. There must be a Parent String, double facing star + next period star as the Sitting Star. (why sitting and not facing? – – this is a 无常派 theory). Facing & Sitting Stars are linked by HeTu (i.e. 4, 9 and 3, 8). And, must have water at Robbery Gua (劫曜星).

The master bedroom already plague with below-averaged stars. Although star 4 stimulate learning and academic pursuit, Star 3 as the facing star in Northwest is an Argument, Competition, Risk Taking natured star. And with further measurements hinting the bedeoom is tapping into 5, 2 Qi from the west sector. Without a clarity of mind, and with wealth within grasp suggest the owner taking repeated miscalculated risk in investments. 5, 2 is also a calamity and sickness combination.

And on the landscaping, master bedroom at the northwest sector has a nice clean pool view which (actually) is a detrimental activation of Qi. In application of Feng Shui for lower cycle, Qi in the northwest sector must not be activated by water.

Connecting Early and Later Heaven Trigram as Remedy


This is a high floor/ level, East facing, female owner apartment with an interesting design, noticed the designer’s proposal door is preventing the resident of bedroom 2 from using the toilet. Luckily, there is no other resident/ occupant besides the owner for this unit.

Qi Points deduction — with the period star positioned exactly at the center of the floor plan,  that is the toilet. I’ve to look into other aspect to strengthen the Qi and increase the ‘immunity’ of the unit.

Another aspect of points deduction is that the south and west sector of the unit is missing. As such, the double prosperous stars are missing symbolizing a falling short when it comes to reputation and brand building.

With the master room located at the Southeast sector, this energy is in sync with the owner’s career aspiration — education business. That is a plus point for the unit.

Remedy comes in the use of early and later heaven trigram: Northwest and Northeast sector, namely 戌 and 丑 position to work hand in hand together, thru’ the use of Qi activation methods. In addition, this is coupled with an annual nobleman for 2024 which gives this activation an added advantage

Balancing Masculine vs Feminine Qi


This is a 9 floor/ level apartment and a simple case analysis of Feng Shui. The Southern and southwest sector of the apartment has star 8, 1 and 1. 8 connecting the external water landscaping strengthens the female energy. This formation largely benefits the wife and daughters of this household.

A closer look into the suggest form by the interior designer, with the tiger side of bedroom 2 and Master room stronger, indicates that this would be a women dominance household.

To harmonize the Yang energy, I’ve suggest using a air dehumidifier on position of 乙 to activate the masculine Qi and converting the suggest study area into a home gym corner integrated with the living room spaces. The couple have no intention of having an altar in their living spaces. And is looking for ways to improve their relationship. I’ve suggested the use position / sector 甲癸申 ( 贪狼一路行) to activate the intimacy Qi in the Master room.

Mitigating the Royal Flush of Negative Stars


The resident is a Gua 6, metal element and this is a west facing apartment, with a double 9 on the sitting sector. This double 9 synced with the main door is beneficial opportunity, wealth and career. 

The flying stars 5, 4 at the living space is considered as 克出 symbolize success comes after waves of challenges. And the journey isn’t smooth sailing. In the long term view, the resident of the apartment needs to pay attention to health matters.

Incidentally on the bedroom, the main Qi is plagued by 2, 7 couples with base star 5. This is a royal flush of negative Qi. To mitigate this, the recommendation is to link the main door stars to the bedroom with placement of 5 palm sized copper objects in the bedroom. And revising the dining area to Elliptical or Walking Pad/ Treadmill Machine as a physical activation of star 6.
