January is ruled by the 3 Star of courage and arguments. The 3 Jade Star is a Wood element and the Center Palace is an earth palace, which is a Destruction Cycle of the phases. The Annual 6 White Metal star is at the end of its life this month, but is being supported by the Earth element to give its last breath a little more energy. The 6 White also in a Destruction Cycle with the 3 Jade. This combination will render the 3 Jade less influential than the 6 White, which supports career.

The areas of most concern in January:

Southeast: Both the Annual Wu Wang (5 Yellow) and the monthly 2 Black Illness Star occupy this sector. Both are unfavorable Earth elements. Even though the Wood of this sector is in a destruction cycle with these two stars, the fresh energy of the Illness star this month should be mitigated with 6 round metal coins.

West: Once again, we have two Earth Stars together. Even though the benevolent 8 White Wealth star would normally turn the 5 Black into less of a threat, the energy of the 8 White is diminished by the metal of the West Palace as well as being at the end of its life cycle. Mitigate the 5 Black Misfortune star with 6 metal coins.

NOTE: monthly remediation is done in addition to the annual adjustments and do not affect any annual mitigation that’s in place.

Activate the East Palace by spending time there. The Annual 4 Green Star of Academics, Creativity, and Relationships is hosted by the Wood element of the East. This month, the 1 White Star of Fame and Authority arrives here to support the waning energy of the Wood, and adds a bit of vibrance with its Water element. So this is a good area to spend time writing, studying, or creating. If your bedroom is located in this sector and you want to become pregnant, this star combination supports that act of “creating” as well.
