The “Big Shifts” from Period 8 to Period 9

We may anticipate things in Period 9 to move quite quickly because it belongs to the fire element. Therefore, it applies to jobs, companies, technology, and government regulations. For example, you may already realize how quickly COVID-19 limits imposed by the government can change by opening up and then closing down again. Since things change quickly, everyone must learn to be flexible and adopt new ways of working; thus here is where innovation comes into play.

Adult working women pursuing progress may also be empowered leaders and business owners. Women will wear “many hats” while juggling different roles in their families, businesses, and careers. Additionally, most people find their true calling in life. Some would start their side businesses with the rise of the gig economy. Services include food delivery, shared transportation, etc.

Unfortunately, it is a time of aggression, and tensions between countries are already beginning to rise. Additionally, those with quick tempers may be affected since everyone will be irritable. They may make rash judgments or actions that they will regret later.

In addition, we can anticipate diseases of the eyes, the heart, and the mind in terms of health. However, this may lead to medical discoveries with technological breakthroughs. Because Period 9 is also about mental clarity, businesses and governments focus more on stress management, mental health, and other topics like dementia, depression, and so forth.

The Megatrends of Periods 8 and 9

In Periods 8 and 9, these were different times. There are distinct rules and unique ways of working. As we move into 2024, we will observe more of the Period 9 energies. However, some of the trends in 2017 were already present due to the energy of the Early Heaven. Therefore, we should be aware of the significant trends or “New World Order” listed below because they concern us all.

Nevertheless, you will want to be mindful of events that affect you or your society. These are exceptional events that cause changes to your circumstances or position. However, events serve as catalysts in changing your status quo. When you experience harsh experiences and make difficult decisions, eventually, you will be forced to pivot to the energies of Period 9.

The Six Required Skill Sets for Period 9

It is important to note that the industries mentioned above represent a general framework that will experience increased prosperity in Period 9. There are numerous sectors and job roles available. But if none of them fit you, then you must start to make adjustments to your job role. For the next twenty years, you should be proficient in these six main activities or skill sets.

1. Transferrable Skills

You’ll need to have some transferable skills that will let you work in any sector. The term “transferable skills” refers to talents that apply across several sectors and industries and are not necessarily job or industry-specific. For instance, if you work in sales and can no longer sell real estate, you may still sell IT solutions because of your sales expertise.

An individual who possesses these abilities is more employable and has an advantage over others who do not. As a result, you will be able to enter any newly developing industry. Since Period 9 is all about flexibility, you must also be adaptable in your choice of employers and products to sell.

2. Teamwork & Collaboration

Period 9 is also a moment for cooperation and teamwork. Cooperation is an important skill to have in the workplace. You will want to work collaboratively with your coworkers, team members, and even your supervisor. In addition, you must also work well with clients and customers when running a business. Consequently, you want to work with others in your career or side businesses.

It will take a decade to master if you plan to start things the slow and conventional way by starting a business and attempting to build it on your own. Therefore, it will be simple to quickly expand the firm, go public, and exit the company when you collaborate with people and investors at different levels. The more options you create for cooperation, the more opportunities you will have for success.

3. Commanding Attention

You will be more successful the more people pay attention to you. As a presenter, an influencer, or a thought leader, you can seize the interest of others. Additionally, if you are a famous person like an artist, entertainer, or singer, you will gain a lot from being able to attract people’s attention. You can make sure that your celebrity efforts are spread out and not concentrated in one region is a sensible choice.

However, if you work in marketing and find it difficult to draw attention, you should seek out information and learn about it. The more you know about your industry, the more likely you are to create an effective campaign. Therefore, you can start by looking at what successful campaigns have done in the past. In addition, you can also look for examples of what other companies are doing in your industry. The new currency in Period 9 will be to command the attention of others.

4. Work Flexibility

Flexibility is the key to a healthy work-life balance. Regardless of your job title or industry, flexibility at work will be crucial for everyone. You can’t expect consistency in any aspect of life, so why should it be different at work? There will be employment changes, market factors that compel you to quit, or personnel reductions at the company. Many businesses have to lay off employees due to recent economic problems and COVID-19.

5. Entrepreneurship

Many workers will realize that they should no longer become bound by the politics and policies of their employers and should instead leave working for them during this awakening phase. As a result, most individuals will begin to take the initiative and pursue their passions.

They will be able to make more money and have more freedom by becoming freelancers or entrepreneurs. It is because there is a growing trend in the workforce where people are becoming freelancers. They can make more money, have more freedom, and work on their terms. There will be a lot of entrepreneurs and freelancers, especially women, as they gain greater authority in Period 9.

6. Maintaining the Human Touch

If all else fails, you should engage yourself in a position requiring human interaction. The need for interpersonal interaction is growing in the world in which we live. It’s not just because of the technological environment in which we live but also because human empathy is required. This is why it might be time to reconsider your career if you feel like you’re having trouble finding your place in an advanced society.

F2F consultations, counselors, customer service representatives, chief happiness officers, etc. are a few instances of this kind of work. Robots won’t be able to replace you in the next 20 years if you can motivate others through speech or care for them physically or mentally as long as there is a human contact component.

The Timeline of Your Transition

Moving forward, you will need to plot your Bazi Chart using this link. You only need to concentrate on your Month Pillar and the Animal Sign in your Bazi Chart. We work for 60–70% of our lives to create wealth, and the Month Pillar stands for your career or business. You may determine the timing of your transition phase by referring to the four event triggers listed below.

• Clash
• Combination
• Destruction
• Grand Duke

The “Clash” ⚔️ (六冲）

The clash will begin for those with the Monkey sign in their Bazi chart in 2022. A clash year of attempting new things will be challenging and exhausting. In general, we don’t like clashes in our chart because a breakthrough will require a lot of toil, blood, and sweat. People who resist change, though, could begin to face a downward cycle in their lives. Additionally, when there is a clash in the year’s month, it becomes more pronounced.

Animal Signs	Clashes
Rat (Dec)	Horse (Jun)
Ox (Jan)	Goat (Jul)
Tiger (Feb)	Monkey (Aug)
Rabbit (Mar)	Rooster (Sep)
Dragon (Apr)	Dog (Oct)
Snake (May)	Pig (Nov)

The “Combination” 🤗 (三合 & 六合）

There are various ways to use animal signs to strengthen the connections between the day, month, and year. The trinity combination sometimes referred to as the “Three Harmony,” comes first. These are trios of animals who are closest friends that encourage, make up for, and strengthen each other’s personality strengths. It is because of their similarity, collaboration, and shared simple objectives. Therefore, joining forces with these friends for professional or social endeavors is an excellent idea. The table below shows that there are four groupings in total.

Frames / Structures	3 Harmony
Water	Rat, Dragon, Monkey
Metal	Ox, Snake, Rooster
Fire	Tiger, Horse, Dog
Wood	Rabbit, Goat, Pig

The second combination, commonly known as the “Six Harmony,” discusses hidden relationships between the animal signs. These are the combinations of two animal signs that reveal a concealed strength and combine to become one of the five types of energy.

Animal Sign	6 Harmony	Energy	Effect
Rat	Ox	Earth	Stability, Trust, Security
Tiger	Pig	Wood	Growth, Productivity
Rabbit	Dog	Fire	Elegance, Performance, Beauty
Dragon	Rooster	Metal	Power, Authority
Snake	Monkey	Water	Wisdom, Intelligence
Horse	Goat	Fire	Communication, Wealth

The “Destruction” 🥵 (六破)

Destructions occur when two certain branches in the natal chart are beside one another or when it enter through the Luck or Annual pillar. The result is a sense of helplessness as you find yourself stuck in a situation with no other options. Additionally, it usually denotes a situation where they are unwilling to let go of a particular circumstance.

Destruction also signifies that everything must come to an end and that something new must begin. During this transition, many people become emotionally stuck. Therefore, it could result in adverse effects or bleak outcomes down the road. You can find the six possible formations below, which result in various life circumstances.

Animal Signs	Destruction	Effect
Rat	Rooster	Abusive, Health issues
Ox	Dragon	Unsettled, Unhappy
Tiger	Pig	Situational (Good to bad/Bad to Good)
Rabbit	Horse	Ashamed, Judgemental
Snake	Monkey	Situational (Good to bad/Bad to Good)
Goat	Dog	Stress, Depression

The “Grand Duke” (太岁)

2022 is your year serving as The Grand Duke if you were born under the Tiger sign according to your Bazi Chart. It indicates that you will experience a period of heightened energy vibration and an urge or desire to act. For those who are proactive, this is fantastic for you if you want to go ahead and take matters into your own hands instead of waiting. However, if you play it safe this year, you may unintentionally hurt others or offend your superior if this energy flows freely. For more info about the 12 animal signs, refer to my earlier post.

Animal Signs	Grand Duke (Annual)
Rat	2020
Ox	2021
Tiger	2022
Rabbit	2023
Dragon	2024
Snake	2025
Horse	2026
Goat	2027
Monkey	2028
Rooster	2029
Dog	2030
Pig	2031
