Speaker 1:

Hello there, I'm Chi Pro Sam, your favorite Chinese astrologer, and I'm here to give you the inside track on what January is bringing to your door for you. Now, I'm a Chinese astrologer and Chinese astrology is a system of understanding how you are affected through time, using the day of your birth as the central component of your identity. Now, we do layer the year, the month and the hour as well, but the day is everything. The day is you. Where Western astrology uses the 12 months to give you an overview reading, which is very good as well, the Chinese astrology focuses on the day, because it's so precise, it's almost eerie, and the day of birth becomes something known as your day master. Now, there are 10 day masters in Chinese astrology and they're based from, or derived from, the five elements, which are split into yin and yang. So yin and yang is two, five elements is five. 10 day masters, and these are profiles. They're very complex information hidden inside a simple date. Who knew? Well, actually, I knew. Now, if you're new to Chinese astrology and you don't know what your day master is, do not fear, I've got you covered. Head on over to chiprosamcom, use our BATSA calculator BATSA is another word for Chinese astrology and find your day master and come right back and listen to your reading Now, as your favorite master of Chinese astrology.

Speaker 1:

I want to begin with an overview of January itself, so we can have a look at that. Then we'll dive into you specifically Now. I have timestamped each reading, so by all means, dive straight to yours. But can I give you a tip? Why not know who your significant other, what their day master is as well? Why not check out your colleagues at work? Because if you listen to their readings as well, you've got a hell of a lot of insight into what's occurring for them and you can assist them. Have the best month ever. Okay, so no further ado, let's begin. What exactly actually is January 2025? Well, funnily enough, it's the last month of 2024. Yep, we're not out of dragon year yet.

Speaker 1:

The solar months work on a different time frame. It works on the solar calendar, the farmer's calendar, the almanac, whatever you want to look at it. We do not follow the Gregorian calendar. That was something made up to fit a tidy box, so January actually begins around the 5th, I think it is, and it's something called Ding Chu. Ding is yin fire, chu is ox. Ding is yin fire, chu is ox.

Speaker 1:

Now being the last month of 2024 makes it an interesting month because it's like a changing of a prime minister, changing of a president. Wow, those are both timely, aren't they? One doesn't leave without putting up a fight. So every January we do see some challenges People that are very sick or they're compromised in some way. They are actually hit quite heavier because the energy is doing one foul swipe before it leaves.

Speaker 1:

So this is a great month to kind of stay still and to just protect yourself a little bit. It's a very yin month. All the elements across the top, or across the whole thing, actually are yin. So it's retrospective, it's reflective, introspective. It's just go inwards more than going out. It's a bit of the calm before the storm, but I like the storm of 2025. I like what it's bringing, but it's not here yet.

Speaker 1:

So January is this last hurrah of the dragon year. Dragons do not go quietly. So know this and pace yourself and give yourself time to rest, rejuvenate. I'm going to say be careful with impulsive decisions. This is the pot calling the kettle black, because this is the time to actually think things through, unless I highlight something below in your day, master, this is the time to be a little bit slower and a little bit more careful and cautionary. Positive mindset will be everything OK. It's going to override the pettiness that is inside of January. So think of it like the power of attraction If you give out positive energy, you are going to get it back. But if you succumb to some of the little riddles that are in there and some of the negative things that are flying around, you're going to attract more of that to you. Why would you do that? Especially because I've told you not to Hear me now. Believe me later. Be selective with whom you align, spend time with who you open up to. Not everybody's your friend this month, I'm sorry. There it is. They're not. So be mindful of who you're spending time with, because their energy is going to rub off on you and it's going to affect you.

Speaker 1:

I want you to follow through with your ideas and your promises and stay true to your values. You may find that you're tested a little bit this month that whether it's people a person or people in a group push back on your ideas or push back on who you say you are, I mean, they should believe, if you say you are, that that's who you are. Your actions will speak, but just be aware that some will prod and poke you, and so stay true to you. Do not back down, but don't pick a fight. You're going to have to hold the line, toe the line, so to speak. So just play the game a little bit and get through January so we can start 2025 next month. This is the month to set your ground rules, okay, so January is an interesting month and the year is closing out. A new year is pushing in, so, of course, we're gonna have some conflict, we're gonna have some shit happen, dare I say it, but we are. But that's okay because we're so close to a different type of energetic year.

Speaker 1:

Okay, having said that, why don't we start with the 10-day masters? And the first one up is going to be my lovely Ja. Well, my lovely Ja, here we are Last month of 2024, and what have I got in store for you? Well, you've got something very good. Out of the 10-day masters, three get something called nobleman. You're the first up. Nobleman is when we have assistance. It can be spiritual, it can be real, it's actual help, and help is on its way to you. I'm not saying you're drowning or you're in trouble. I'm just saying if you need something, put your hand up and ask it will be given.

Speaker 1:

Now I do want you to beware flattery, okay, someone that is giving too much. They have an agenda and their agenda is in their favor, not yours. What are their actions saying? Look at their body language. What is their body telling you? Forget the eloquent words coming out of their mouth. What is their body telling you? What are their actions when they're away from you telling you? I just think you're gonna have some people that might take you off track, and they're just going to do it so cleverly with such slick wording and they're going to appeal to your ego. So be careful of that. Keep that ego in check. Stay on track.

Speaker 1:

Lean into your true talents, okay, so don't listen to the schmuck who's saying oh my God, you could be CEO. Man, they should have you as CEO, or they should do this or they should do that, because you're just so brilliant. Ok, what are you brilliant at? Ask the question. Ok, which part am I so brilliant at? Ok, push back a little Trust in your talents and push forward with those. Place your trust inward on yourself and let your actions speak for themselves.

Speaker 1:

Now you will have a desire to radically change something. I know that's there. I think it's good, because there is an obstacle in your way. I don't know if it's a person, or I think it's a thing. There's an obstacle in your way. So if you trust in and pay attention to what's occurring around you, you'll see what the obstacle is and you'll be able to remove it. But just by me sharing this with you doesn't mean the obstacle will go away. It's coming your way. Sorry, that's what's happening.

Speaker 1:

Be mindful of bleeding heart situation. Someone might come to you with this. You know this story and just need your help. And we need you to do this. And if you could just wait and be patient, you'll get that promotion. Or if you could just do this, forget that Again. What are their actions saying? What are they really doing? Distance your emotions from the issue and observe from a different sphere to see what's really going on. I know this sounds all negative and it's not. I am giving you the nitty gritty here. So I just want you to observe and be more fact-based, which you often are anyway. So I just want you to observe and be more fact-based, which you often are anyway. Centralize your focus.

Speaker 1:

This one's a big one, especially when it comes to money. Something's happening around your money. I don't think it's a bad thing, necessarily, but I think, when I look at everything I found for you this month, there's something afoot, and that's why I need you to be unemotional, to align yourself with the correct people and to make sure you're moving forward in your direction, not somebody else's. All right, jar, you've got it there. Wow, ye, things are looking up for you. Doors are opening. Explore all of them. In case you're thinking, oh, which door exactly? And how do I know which is the right one? I actually don't know which is the right one for you, but what I can say is open them and have a look, put your head in, have a look around and decide if you're going to walk right across the threshold or if you're just going to dip your toe in. But doors of opportunity are here for you. This is great.

Speaker 1:

This is to do with your career, for sure, and others may be caught unaware, and what I mean by this. It's interesting when I saw this, because others, I don't think, understand how strong you are. You possibly put on a persona of maybe not knowing some things. You're possibly very humble and you might always not grab the limelight, you might stand on the side. That actually really works in your favor, because sometimes it's really good when people underestimate you, isn't it? Yeah, I think you've probably used it to your advantage one or two times. This is a great month for that. They others are. They didn't recognize how strong you are. So if you get any pushback or you have any issues, you'll be able to bounce back from it and others will be caught unaware, and it puts you in a great position to rise up the ladder.

Speaker 1:

But you have to be clear with your vision. Okay, this is not a time to dither and think could I do that, or should I go for that job, or should I do this? There's no should about it. Okay, no should. Take some time now, as you hear this video for the first time. Take some time now to think about what it is you want to achieve in 2025, because this is the last month closing out. Right, 2025 is bearing down on us and that has a whole different story to tell.

Speaker 1:

But I need you to be ready. I want you to overcome your inner demon. I want you to overcome your inner demon, that voice that tells you things that are not in your favor. Figure out why it's saying what it says and overcome it. Change is afoot, my dear you. It will feel odd, you could be fearful. In fact, I'm quite sure you're fearful. I can't say don't be, you're going to feel this anyway. So go through the emotions of it, but trust that when we're on the verge of great change, of something wonderful, we're scared because our ego knows we're about to change, and ego doesn't like that. But follow your passion, follow your soul, follow your spirit, follow whatever it is wording that calls your heart and know that change is coming and this change is good. Lean into your strengths. Trust your strengths, trust yourself, dear you. Okay, get going. January is ready for you. Get going. January seems to follow you. When I think back to all of the Chikast in 2024, strategy is here. Once again, it seems to follow you wherever you go.

Speaker 1:

This one is interesting though this one is, it's a strategy around a binding agreement that you've got to put in place. This month I tried to have a look and think OK, is it a bad thing? Is it a lawsuit against you? Are you doing a lawsuit? Is it just a contract? Is it a job offer? Guess what? I don't have a bloody clue. I don't know what it is, but you do and my question is what are you up to Now? You don't actually have to answer me with that. Answer yourself, as long as you know why you're doing what you're doing. Whomever you're putting in place, whatever chess piece you're moving right now, as long as you know why you're moving it. I'm a happy camper over here. I want you to confidently place the right people in the right positions. So, if I think about it, it's probably contracts. Now I've said that, some kind of contracts. Maybe you're offering something, maybe you're being offered something, but I think you're offering other people things.

Speaker 1:

Communication is key as you do this. It's not about and this is interesting the word communication is interesting to me for this month for you, because sometimes communication is, like you know, be crystal clear, but I think it's how you communicate what you are doing. So that and when I have considering that, I had the word strategy in the opening sentence for you, I would say, as much as I love clarity and everything, maybe don't show everyone your cards, only show the people that need to know what they need to know. I don't like keeping people hanging on strings, but I think you have to do that this month. You've got to play your cards close to your chest. A misstep now will cause a big issue later. So that one does worry me. It's funny because I prep my notes, but now I'm looking back at my notes. That worries me a little bit.

Speaker 1:

I would like you to make sure you've got some advisors on the side. I know you are the big sun in the sky and you often know enough to go forward alone, but this tells me that you need to seek some advice and just make sure it is how you want it to be. Okay, obstacles are forming in your path. Don't worry about it. Obstacles are, I think, of obstacles. They're not in our path, they are our path. So you've got obstacles coming. They're gonna be your stepping stones to where you want to go. It's okay. So if you do this right and you turn them into stepping stones, you'll be creating the path and the direction that you want to go.

Speaker 1:

But I do think I want you to have some help with this. I want you to to go, but I do think I want you to have some help with this. I want you to be mindful. Do not attack, do not defend. Oh my goodness, no, move ahead neutrally. Okay. So I'm not going to say, take your emotions out, but because that was applying to other day, masters, when I found things For you it's not that, it's just, it's carefully moving forward, not keeping everyone happy because you can't, but it's a neutral.

Speaker 1:

Does it make sense? You have to walk forward in a neutral stance and be open, because I believe, as you start stepping on the stepping stones, if you're open to suggestions and things that then come forward, you're going to build really strong stepping stones and you're going get where you wanna go way faster. Not that it's about speed, but I do want you to get past this obstacle fairly quick, or these obstacles, fairly quickly. Be mindful of your power. Cultivate team players, cultivate a team environment. So, my lovely Bing, I do love you, I do, but team is not always your strength. You are a lone star, shall we say, and that is okay. It is who you are. We love you for it. But you know what? There is a team aspect about this, one that's going to be working together. So just align with the right people, have them close by trust you've put them there for a reason and get their advice. All right, bing, so you actually have a lot to do this month. You better get going. So what are? You still?

Speaker 1:

doing here, off you go, okay. Okay, my lovely Ding. Well, your reading couldn't be more different from Bing, which was the Yang fire, you being the Yin fire here. Well, this is a month of regulation and that's partly to do with I pulled that from the hexagram for you this month, particularly on spending. Oh, all those sales out there right now, not for you. You need to walk on by my friend. No spending. Ask yourself if the spending is physical or spiritual. Be wise. So let me unpack that for you. What I mean I think that you might be drawn to all that glitters is gold, and I'm here to tell you it's not. So if you've really been waiting for something that you do genuinely need and I'm here to tell you it's not so, if you've really been waiting for something that you do genuinely need and I'm going to use that word need and it's on sale, great, maybe this is the time to go buy it. However, however, if you're just seeing something and thinking, oh, I've always wanted one of those, now is not the time to buy it.

Speaker 1:

When I look at ding through the year, there are some money aspects that will change Positive, not all negative, but there's up and down, there's a bit of unknown. So you know what? Could you just keep your money in your bank account this month? There will be another sale down the road Now. Spiritual spending that's a whole different ballgame. What podcast can you listen to? What book could you read? And even then you could go to the library and probably get a book without buying it. That investment is where you need to be my friend Now.

Speaker 1:

Career is very much a focus right now. So I want you to be strategic in your moves and add value to your team. So, whatever position you're in whether you're in a lead position, a follow position, a just team player position, whatever bring your A game. Make sure everybody sees that you add value in every single way, because that is gonna create something wonderful for you. So I'm not going to tell you everything. You've got to have some things. You find out by yourself. But it's very good, okay, it's very good. Align with powerful people. So look around you. Now, this doesn't mean look around you and see who holds a powerful position and just go suck up to them. No, you have to be you. You have to be genuine, but align yourself with people who do have the power to make things happen in your favor Because you can do it by yourself. But why would you when other people will give you a helping hand and get you where you want to go? It's a valuable exchange for all concerned. Trust me, if you ask powerful people to help you, they'll have you doing something for them as well, and this is okay. That's the exchange. That's what we want. It's ultimately good.

Speaker 1:

Now you're not going to like this bit. Setbacks are imminent. They're unpreventable. It's just what January is going to bring, and it's a bit because it's the January month of the year's changing. It's not all you, it's the environment of where we're at. So ride them out and focus long term. So if things don't go your way Tuesday, wednesday, know that by next Monday they'll be better, or the week after it will be better. Have faith in the long goal.

Speaker 1:

Okay, now, some may sabotage you and some may leave you out. This is a little bit petty and it's not necessarily you. You need to. Just do you. There's going to be a little bit of gossip around you. So stay focused on what you do and know that that's their reaction and try to be kind when that happens. Okay, don't. Don't snap back or have a little negative retort over something they say, or gossip about you, it doesn't matter, it's what they're going through. Be the bigger person and be lead with kindness.

Speaker 1:

Okay, all right, ding, you have quite a lot to do this month. Off you go. Ah, there you are, my lovely Wu. You are the next person to have nobleman. So nobleman is when you have assistance, and it can be spiritual, it can be physical, it can be a number of things. But what this means is that, as you're going through the month and you're trying to do things, know that you can ask for help and it will be given in whatever level you ask for it. It's very much an out with the old and in with the new month, which I love.

Speaker 1:

And it's not just resolutions, because I don't really believe in resolutions. It's not that it's time to reform your ways. Oh, that one probably hit a nerve, didn't it? I bet, and this is to do with the hexagram I came up with for you. It's about transformation and reformation.

Speaker 1:

So you may find that as you do this, you stand alone. That's okay. Others may not understand. You see, you're the trusted one. You're the one that people always know, you'll always be there. You've always got the blue jacket on, or you've always got this, or you're always there picking up the pieces, doing the hard work, making sure everyone's okay. You're just the trusted, reliable one. That's always where people want you to be.

Speaker 1:

This month, you may step sideways because you want to do something else or you want to change up things. That will throw them. It's okay. Be patient with them, please. Some people take longer to catch up with things. It's tricky for them, but they will get there. Research what you don't know. Whatever it is that's got your curiosity, whatever it is that you're thinking. Well, I want to do that now. Go find out about it, ask what you don't know, learn Very big month for learning.

Speaker 1:

Okay, there's a potential rebrand. So if you are a business, if you're an entrepreneur or something, there's definitely a rebrand there. But it could also be in your personal life, it could be in your professional. So rebrand doesn't mean breaking up a relationship or leaving something. It means refreshing it, it means retouching it, it means giving it some new life, giving it some zest. So don't be scared with my words here. Know that this is a time of renewal for you in a new way. But if you're getting ready for a fresh start and 2025 this first time I've said this to anyone in the day master, so you're getting this first.

Speaker 1:

2025 is a year that we will shed a skin that no longer serves us. We will shed the old skin, the shroud that we've had over us, and we will step forward anew. This is what you're doing right now, but, out of all 10 day masters, you're the most one that's unpredictable in this, because no one would have ever thought you would do this. You're the trusted, steady Eddie, and now you're going to be ripping off the jacket and doing something different as the year opens up. So I love this for you, but it's a little unusual.

Speaker 1:

Now there is a slight predatory feel to this. Okay, it's like you're out hunting. It's like there's a tiger feel here. Who exactly is your prey? And I ask that because I honestly don't know, and as I was putting this together, I'm like, oh, this is interesting. I don't know what this means. What is woo up to? Woo is up to something. You go woo, so predatory sounds negative, but it isn't. It's calculative, it's careful, it's premeditated, and that's what I expect from you, because you are very careful and you are very thoughtful and you are very systematic. So I love this rebrand that's afloat, shall we say, and I know that you're gonna do it systematically. So I know some of these words may sound negative, but I'm actually really excited for you. I think this is brilliant. I really do OK. So, wu, I can't wait to see what you do. Drop me a note, let me know too. I think it's amazing, and I will talk to you next month.

Speaker 1:

I've got to move on to your counterpart of G now. See you, wu. Well, well, well, well. Well, my dear G, you are about to learn from a mentor. If you don't have one already, it's time you find one. So a mentor is not necessarily someone that you sign up for like a coach. You're not necessarily paying money to you sometimes are but a mentor usually is someone that is giving you of themselves and teaching you and showing you the way for something, and you, as a G-Day master, are such a nurturing, growing, capable person anyway that this is a great fit. This is a wonderful fit for you, and if you don't have a mentor, I really want you to have a look around and think who is it that I'd love to spend some time with and just listen, just learn.

Speaker 1:

How did they do it. What did they find? What did they not do that I could now do Like? This is just a great time to. It's a discovery of new talents that you didn't know you have. You're going to release things inside you that you've not admitted were there, possibly because you didn't know, but I think you have known that. You've got things deep down that you haven't admitted before, and this is so exciting because this person is going to help draw that out of you. So I'm hoping that you already know them, because that's just a little bit easier. But if not, don't fret, don't panic. Look around you. There's somebody you want to learn from and just ask to spend time with them and actually what I would even suggest better than that ask how you can be of service to them. Ask what you could do for them. Do they need help with something? Because just by doing that it's got to be genuine. You can't do it just to get something. By genuinely offering to be of service to them in some way, you will have the opportunity to learn right beside them on how they work, and it will enrich your life so much. It's brilliant.

Speaker 1:

Now, amidst all this lovely stuff, I'd love to stay there, but we can't. Amidst all the lovely stuff, there is some adversity around you. But you know what? It's okay, because we sometimes need these polarizing moments, these clashes, these and it's not a clash for you, actually, it's not the right word I should use these polarizing moments, these oppositional times, these changes and things, because they do create change, they kickstart everything and make things happen. So it's okay.

Speaker 1:

As this all occurs, honesty is the name of your game. Okay, I can't say that enough. Honesty is the name of your game this month, dear G, you seek honesty and you want to be given honesty. So it's very much a two-way street for you, and I love that, because we should always be honest and sometimes we're not Just things, life gets in the way, right, but honesty is important for you.

Speaker 1:

Now, if you feel that you have a sense of tunnel vision or that you're in a tunnel and it's like but Sam, it's not making sense to me because I'm in this tunnel and I can't see a way out and there's this on this side and there's this on this side and there might be okay, I don't know all the factors of your life, that is true. What I can tell you is that this mentor is here to help you and if you're in a tunnel, look up, because there is light at the end of the tunnel and this is one of those moments where you do want to walk towards the light. Walk towards the light. Okay, I know they tell you not to, but this is the time you do, because it's how you're going to move forward. So you might be in a tunnel, that's okay. It's part of the January month. It's part of the I'm going to say heaviness of January, because January is a very earth month. The ox has a lot of earth and that can be heavy, but it's okay because in this stillness, in this learning from this mentor, you are going to get ready to step forward and tell your story in 2025. So, personally, I think it's pretty awesome. G, oh, there's my powerful gung. I knew you'd be here waiting for your forecast For the third day master to get nobleman.

Speaker 1:

Nobleman, in case you don't know, is assistance, is the bottom line. I could say many, many things about what it means in ancient Chinese history, but the fact of the matter is it basically means you will have assistance, whether you ask for it spiritually, mentally, physically, whichever realm you're working in, it means people are here to help you if you ask okay, you can't just sit there and just expect everything to come to you. It's not like that. But you're in a position where people are going to come forward and give you solutions to your problems, and maybe it's not even a problem. They're going to give you solutions to things that you're thinking about Now.

Speaker 1:

Promotion and accolades will present. Oh, yes, like yes. And then there's the flip side of the coin. Hidden in that are some difficulties. But guess what? I like that. If everything was just a smooth road and it was just like oh, cheering you on, you're just so wonderful. Rah, rah, rah. That's all great. It's pretty boring, right? We want some difficulties because they remind us to get stuck in, they remind us to be present, because it's not a smooth road, never is and out of those difficulties come new ideas and new ways. So I actually like it. I just need you to be aware of it. It's not like this super trajectory that's just so smooth. There are some challenges there, so be mindful of how you clear the path and assemble a capable team around you. So it's not the same as what I've said to some other day, masters, about aligning with powerful people or making sure you give people the right jobs to work for you. This is different. This is knowing who's around you, what their roles are and how it all fits together. It's like puzzle pieces for you.

Speaker 1:

Now, success is a science. It's one of the things I really believe in. So don't sabotage yourself with doubt or unease. So I think one of the things I see for you this month is that you might you might sabotage yourself, thinking well, I can't do that. This person's just come forward with let's make this, you know, with a potential job offer.

Speaker 1:

I've just been told. You know, I could maybe apply for this, and I've got a foot in the door, so to speak, and you're thinking but it's too big, I can't do that. I'm not trained in that. You'll learn it. Don't worry about it. Just just go for it. Right? If you hesitate, if you dither, I'm not going to say you'll lose the opportunity. I don't think you will, but you won't be starting off on the best foot. So believe in yourself, please, and just breathe, take a deep breath and step into it. Okay, stay on track with the task.

Speaker 1:

Lead with certainty and sovereignty. I'm not going to explain that. I need you to think about what I mean when I say lead with certainty and lead with sovereignty. You can tell me how that works out, I kind of already know, but I want you to get there. All right, my lovely gung, that is you for January. I'll see you next month.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my lovely shinday, master, you know I always love speaking with you. You are going places. You know I always love speaking with you, you are going places. You are going places partly because the fire this month, this ding fire, and your shin day, master, they don't combine or transform, it's not like that, but they just they glow off of each other. So this is a time of gentle brilliance for you. So I want you to be aware that I don't let anything or anyone stand in your way. It's not a case of plowing through and just pushing people aside to get what you want. No, no, that's not it. I just want.

Speaker 1:

If people say you can't do that, oh, I don't think that's in your wheelhouse, oh, I don't think you should be making that move. That's coming from their perspective and their fear. So listen, why not? It's always good to listen to what other people have to say, but go forward with unwavering commitment, your attention to detail, which is incredible, and your sheer determination. These are three things I sort of wrote down exactly like that because they came through really strong. So I get the feeling, having written that, that you might be pressured, you might have some pressure applied to you. You know what. Don't break under that pressure. Remember, diamonds are made under fantastic pressure, ok, but they have to go through that to be that beautiful gem that we uncover. So you do feel ready but to do this thing that you're thinking of.

Speaker 1:

But just have some mindful moments because, as this is all coming into play, what I feel is going to occur for you is constructive criticism, which is interesting because I could have looking at my own note. I wrote constructive criticism. I think you're going to take it as criticism, some things that are said to you, but I challenge you to have a look again. Is it criticism? Or, as the month opens and people maybe say some things, are they actually giving you supported comments that are just not what you're thinking? So it's making you question or you're getting on the defensive? Do not get on the defensive. The minute we start defending something we've lost, okay, it's never a winning position to defend. So just go slowly, hear what is actually being said and think about it. If you think about it with a neutral mindset, an unbiased mindset, and you then decide, nope, that critique, that comment is actually not correct, it's not useful. I don't want to follow it, that's fine. I'm fully supporting you pushing that comment aside. I'm just asking you to have a look at it first. All right, it's not that difficult.

Speaker 1:

Now, the one that whispers in your ear, and you'll know who this is. But the one that kind of whispers in your ear, something that maybe you weren't expecting. They're here to advise and to take you further and to take you to a next level, and it might be surprising who it is that whispers in your ear. Now, it's funny. I usually write these notes and then I record later, after I've taken a break, sort of cleared my mind, and I'm standing here thinking whisper in your ear, because when I wrote it I felt like it was something personal. But now I'm thinking about today's technology and how we're always on our phone and we've got earpods. It's almost like someone, something you hear through a phone call Interesting. I don't know what that is, yet I'm actually.

Speaker 1:

This part was not planned, it just came to me so strongly right now. So just pay attention. You'll know it when you hear it. It will, the penny will drop and you'll be like it will. You'll feel it. It's not going to be like an aha moment, like, oh, the lights come on and the angels sing. It's more a that resonates. When that person said that, it touched my very core, and it could be professional, could be personal, probably a bit of both, but I'm actually excited for you and I'm very curious to see who is actually whispering in your ear.

Speaker 1:

Now. You've accomplished so much, and this is to do with a hexagram that's with you. Now it's time to reset your horizon, to reset that compass, because you've gotten to a very good point and, as we approach this 2025 year, this is the month you're gonna readjust which horizon you're going towards, because it's going to be different in a good way. So I'm not worried about it at all, but things are changing for you, my lovely Shin. So have a great January, take some time to reflect, go inward, listen to what is being said and you will make great strides. Oh, my powerful run. Look at you, go Interesting and I know I say that a lot, but it really is interesting when I do all these day masters interesting and I know I say that a lot, but it really is interesting when I do all these day masters.

Speaker 1:

But what I saw this month, as I was prepping everything for you, was you seek relief from something. There's a building pressure, something's coming to a head and you really you want to get relief from it. It's like you want to burst the spot, you want to lance the boil, you want to just get it done with Guess what. You maybe can't do that. Rest, my friend. Rest. You're trying to control the outcome and the outcome is going to do it by itself. The spot, the boil, all those things, whatever analogy I want to use, the volcano that's going to erupt, whatever analogy I come up with, it will do it when it's ready. No amount of squeezing or poking around from you will bring it forward any quicker. So just rest, my friend.

Speaker 1:

Separate yourself from an arduous situation. Now, I chose that word carefully. I initially had troubling, problematic. I went through the whole alphabet, actually, and I came back to arduous because it resonated with me. So there's something you're involved in that's not quite right and it's been a bit of a slog and it's probably to do with the pressure that's building and you want to separate from it, and you might not be able to.

Speaker 1:

I need you to proceed with confidence and with courage. What you're about to do is not easy and it will take courage. That doesn't mean it's bad, doesn't mean it's good. I actually can't see what it is, I'm not sure. I know that there's pressure and you need to. You need to kind of like, do something and change it. So do that. So do so courageously, please, and believe in yourself. Proceed with purpose. That's the biggest thing for you here. Proceed with purpose. It is meant to be okay. This is meant to happen. It's meant to be, and the greener grass will actually grow stronger if you do this.

Speaker 1:

Now, what I mean by that is it, whatever situation you find yourself in where there's pressure is it's so easy to look across at the neighbor, right or the. You know, that's just my analogy. It's so easy to look across the garden fence at the neighbor and say their grass is so much greener than mine. And we can come back with all the smart retorts Well, the grass is green where you water it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1:

What I want you to take from this is, if you push through this situation. If you make this decision, if you have the courage to do this right where you are, the grass will be greener and the grass will be stronger. You don't need to look outside anymore, just stand still. I want you to divide and conquer. I want you to look at your time, your money, your purpose, your thoughts. I want you to segment things up and really look at what is it that's really driving you. What are the passions that make you happy? What things don't? And if they don't, for God's sake, call it. Okay, call it now. It's time to shift.

Speaker 1:

2025 is fast approaching, and I'm saying it lots because I really believe in it. 2025 is the time we tell our story and we walk our new story. We shed a skin. The snake is like going to bring forward and allow us to shed what no longer serves us, but what we've allowed to become a shroud. You're going to get rid of it, but you have to do it now. You have to make this clean break. You're embarking on a great new adventure, so what I want you to do is enjoy that and wave happily at the other people as you go. You're not running away from them. You're not letting them down. You're moving on to something new and it's brilliant. Okay, and what was past is past. You're going into the future.

Speaker 1:

My friend, well Gwe, there is such a secretive stance with you this month. I had to look twice at my notes and as I was mapping things out, I'm like what's way up to? And it's interesting because I feel like you're looking for something. There's information that you want to find out. There's a. Is it subversive? I don't know, but there's something you want to know. It's tied in with career, and career prospects are promising. But there's something you want to know. It's tied in with career and career prospects are promising, but something's missing. There's something you don't know. I'm not sure if it's something you want to have the upper hand on. Maybe you're going for something, and somebody else's too, and you want the dirt on them so you can look better. Not really a good way to do it, quite frankly, but you do, you. I don't know that it's that, but I think it's information. So I want to leave the positive here and say if you're doing something and there's information you don't have, for God's sake, do everything you can to find out what the information is you need and set it in play.

Speaker 1:

Someone's going to cause you an issue through this. I think it's jealousy, but unfortunately jealousy can cause a problem when it's left unchecked. Now you can't do anything about someone feeling jealous towards you, and really you should take it as a compliment that they are envious of something that you have achieved or something that you're doing, and that is wonderful. So how about you be super kind to them and give them a helping hand and show them how they can achieve some things too? Do not succumb to their level. When someone's jealous and they throw some petty things out, that's them hurting, so don't add hurt to that layer. Help them.

Speaker 1:

Find out the facts of what's going on on every level. This kept coming through so strong for you this month. Find out the facts of what's going on, as blind belief in something will catch you unawares. Now that's twofold I want to talk about there. The blind belief can be a blind belief. You might have in yourself that you know everything, you're ready and you're just going to do this. Well, you might not know everything, and then you could be up a creek without a paddle. The other thing is, you could blindly believe that this could be positive and negative in someone, and someone could be telling hawkies which in England is little fibs, hawky pies lies, and so be careful with that. I need you to just be calmer and to think things through a little bit and get the facts. Don't let your emotions run amok on stuff.

Speaker 1:

Allocate really good time to rest and rejuvenate. This is that month where I'm telling everyone to just kind of go in. It's a very yin month, so let's be reflective, let's be constructive with what we want to build in the next year and the external pressure I've talked about it to some other day masters. There is some external pressure that is has built and it might be taking a toll on you. It's like I'm just done yeah, you kind of are. So give yourself time to catch up with your health and your sleep and your eating. Believe in yourself. You didn't get this far to only get this far, okay, so there's a lot further you can go, yet You're not done. So enjoy this month of January and know that 2025 is coming forward to offer you a new way forward. All right, so there you go. You've got an overview of the month. You've got each of the day masters. Check your friends, check your significant other. So interesting to know what they're experiencing this month.

Speaker 1:

Now we need to talk about lucky dates and maybe some of those unlucky ones. So actually I'm gonna make this really short and sweet, because I have a calendar on my website, cheaprosamcom, and it has all of the dates that I've chosen that are quite lucky and what you can do with them, and it also has the dates that are not so great. So let me just talk about that for a second. If you go to the calendar, you're gonna find information on these wonderful yay days, but just to give you the dates, we've got five in January and I'm not giving you the dates. Don't you just love me? Couldn't you just reach through and say, sam, go to the calendar, get the dates and you'll find them out.

Speaker 1:

But I will tell you what the nay days are. So yay days that are on the calendar are days where the energy is great and you can use it for specific outcomes. The nay days are when the energy is in flux and in general, they're not so good, unless I've specifically chosen it for you based on your birth date and the action that you are taking, that you are taking. Otherwise, these are nay days to avoid January 14th, 17th, 26th and 29th. The energy's in flux. Things are shifting. It's generally not the date to launch a business, start something new, get married, all those things. Energy's just mobile. It's not stable. However, sometimes it can be used All right. So everything's on my calendar in great detail. Go grab that and subscribe it to your calendar so you have it on your phone when you're out and about. And we will talk next month.

Speaker 1:

But what I want to remind you of is never forget that you are the lead character in your life. Okay, I am the guide by your side. Life Okay, I am the guide by your side, but you are the leader. You are the main character, the heroine, the hero, whatever you want to look at it, and your life is yours. Use the brain, use the knowledge that you gather from me and from other sources to make positive decisions that impact your life and create the future that you're looking for, because you can do it. It's all up to you, and I'm honored to be by your side. And until then, I will see you in February.
