The Next 12 Days

Marina Sinacka April 28th The Next 12 Days ↓ Good evening. I hope you're doing great. Monthly Qi will shift soon. Yellow 5 will move to SW, and you will not be able to light your candles there on a regular basis. If you are activating Moon Noble on a regular, you still can, just not with elements. For these "the next 12 days" Wu Earth is still dominant. Energy is heavy. If you intend to begin an important project (before May 12th) now, mentally prepare for a slow start. For lucky owners of...

Marina Sinacka April 16th The Next 12 Days ↓ Good evening. I hope you're doing very well. I hope there's peace in your heart, love, joy, pure happiness. I hope life is amazing for you. Truly. That no matter what is going on in this crazy world, you have peace and bliss in your home. (Activate Fortune Virtue on the regular. It's in the Tiger this year, so no water fountains, please, but gentle cleaning, or meditating in the sector, or playing singing bowls (I know I talked oh-so-many of you...

Pink magnolia blossoms bloom against a blue sky.

Marina Sinacka April 8th Monthly Qi: April ↓ The Month of the Metal Dragon This month, the Metal Dragon, is a Fui Kong Pillar. It brings strong internal strength and the kind of determination that works best in tough situations. The Dragon is a heavy Earth month, and Earth tends to slow things down. If you have something important to launch or complete, do it before the 17th. After that it will become harder to get things off the ground. Expect delays. This is a good month for stabilizing,...

Orange and yellow flowers bloom under a cloudy sky.

Marina Sinacka April 3rd The Next 12 Days ↓ Good evening. I hope you're doing very well. On April 4th, the Metal Dragon month begins. Ah... The Metal Dragon is one of the so-called Fui Kong pillars, or Generals. Tough, resilient, sharp-thinkers, strategists, will not run away from a battle, but also suspicious of others with rather fragile egos. It would be lovely if this type of "God's strongest warrior" energy didn't manifest this month. Fingers crossed. Unfortunately, we do see lack of...

Purple crocuses bloom in the sun.

Marina Sinacka March 22nd The Next 12 Days ↓ Good evening. I hope you're doing very well. However, if you're not, please do not look at the daily info looking for when the peaceful times will come. Date Selection is not meant for that. Date Selection is OUTCOME oriented. We are choosing the best possible days to increase our chances of the desired outcome. If you want to add peace-bliss-stability to your life, there are various practices that can help you (my strategic meditations, for...

brown rabbit on green grass field during daytime

Marina Sinacka March 6th Monthly Qi: March ↓ The Month of the Earth Rabbit This month, quick decisions might feel impulsive, but they’re often necessary to move forward. Hesitating or overthinking can be a sign of low confidence and indecision, which can secretly hinder your success. Delaying too long can cause great opportunities to slip away, leaving you unsure of where you went wrong, even with all your hard work. Avoiding risks and over-analyzing can give you a false sense of safety, but...

A group of white flowers growing out of the ground

Good evening, The Year of the Wood Snake is here, and with it comes important changes - this is the first year of Period 9, the Fire Season. Fire (trigram Li) is energy, clarity, visibility, and momentum. It’s about turning dreams into reality, but it also about burning away your illusions. And that’s exactly what we’re doing this month in the Daily Qi Club - moving away from just dreaming and actually making things happen. No, this isn’t about meditating in front of a vision board. It’s...
