June Calendar
↓
If life is going well right now, you can probably stop reading here.
If you're happy with your work, your relationships, your health, your finances, your family, and the general direction your life is heading, this isn't for you.
We're happy for you, of course.
Not genuinely.
Haha.
But if there is even one area of your life that feels stressful, frustrating, uncertain, or harder than it should be, you may find this useful.
I'm not offering a magic pill.
I'm not offering a way to control life.
I'm sharing a tool I've been using myself for many years.
More than ten years ago, my teacher gave me a very specific date and time to mail some important documents.
I followed his instructions exactly.
What struck me as odd was that I had to do it at night. Not because anyone was collecting or processing the documents at that hour.
I live in a house. All I had to do was walk out to my mailbox, put the envelope inside, and raise the flag. The envelope wasn't even going to be picked up until the following afternoon.
To be honest, I didn't see the logic. But he told me to do it, so I did.
About two weeks later, I received a positive response.
What surprised me even more was how smoothly the entire process went. I wasn't asked for any additional paperwork. There were no complications. No delays. It was smooth.
That is not the typical outcome in situations like that. People often wait months, deal with requests for additional documents, and go through all kinds of bureaucratic nonsense.
Can I prove that the timing was the reason? No.
But it definitely got my attention. From that point on, I started paying closer attention to date selection as a discipline.
Then another chapter of my life came along.
I realized I wasn't happy with the quality of my marriage.
Around that time, I was reading a book about leadership and personal responsibility. About taking full responsibility for your life, for everything.
And as much as I hated admitting it, I had to admit that I was partially responsible for mine. (small tiny part)
It wasn't just him.
As much as I would have loved to blame him for everything, that wasn't true.
Part of it was on me.
If I was partially responsible for creating the situation, then I was also partially responsible for improving it.
Waiting wasn't going to fix it.
Complaining wasn't going to fix it. (Even though I did do that)
Hoping wasn't going to fix it.
If I wanted things to change, I had to do something.
So I did.
Because I love comfort and peace of mind.
And I want to be happy at home, dammit.
During that period, I used date selection almost obsessively.
For conversations. For decisions. For communication. For pretty much anything that could affect the relationship.
And that worked too. In fact, I'm ridiculously happy these days.
Many years have passed since then.
And I still use it today.
This calendar came into existence for one very simple reason.
Originally, I put it together for myself.
Every month I would gather all the information I needed in one place so I could see which dates to avoid, which opportunities were worth taking advantage of, and when it made more sense to sit down with a cup of coffee and do absolutely nothing.
Yes, I'm a seasoned practitioner.
Technically, I can open multiple tabs, software programs, calculators, spreadsheets, and notes every time I need information.
But I'm old-fashioned. I like having everything important in one place.
I don't like jumping between pages. I don't like forgetting things that should have been obvious. And I definitely don't like missing something important simply because I overlooked it.
If we strip away all the metaphysical language, this calendar is really no different from a weather forecast.
When people plan a picnic, a vacation, or a weekend outing, they check the weather.
Not because the weather controls their lives.
They simply want to know whether they should expect sunshine or a tornado. Do they need a sweater? Do they need sunscreen? Would another day be a better choice?
This calendar works in much the same way.
It doesn't make decisions for you.
It doesn't guarantee results.
But it helps you understand the quality of the timing you're working with.
At this point, this is the best general calendar I've ever put together.
The only difference between this version and the one I personally use is two additional columns containing my own personal information.
Everything else is the same.
Over the years, I've learned that more information doesn't necessarily produce better decisions.
There was a time when I thought the more data I collected, the better.
I don't believe that anymore.
It's not the amount of information that matters. It's the quality. And the best information in the world is useless if you never use it. You can spend endless hours diving deeper into calculations, systems, layers, and technical details trying to find something perfect.
But I have a business to run. I have a family. I have a life outside of calendars.
And I'm guessing you do too.
That's why I built this calendar the way I like to use it myself.
Open it.
Look at it.
Understand what matters.
Close it.
Get on with your life.
Simple.
Do you need to know Chinese Metaphysics to use it? No. Not at all.
If you're a practitioner, you may still find it useful because everything relevant is already collected in one place. Even experienced practitioners forget things. You don't need to dig through old notes, bounce between software programs, or cross-check five different sources.
Over the next couple of days, I'll be explaining exactly how to use the calendar. I'll let everyone know when.
To follow along, all you'll need is your BaZi chart. At the beginning, you'll only need your Four Pillars, which can be generated using any online calculator.
We'll talk about the energies of June separately.
First, we'll cover the practical side. How to actually use the calendar. Without getting buried in theory. Because honestly, who needs more theory?
Why now?
If you're familiar, even a little bit, with Chinese Metaphysics, you know June brings Self-Punishment in Fire.
Translated into plain English, people become much more likely to make emotionally driven mistakes.
The conversations that never needed to happen.
The messages that should never have been sent.
The decisions that would have benefited from one more night's sleep.
Yet somehow, everything suddenly feels urgent.
And June is only the beginning. It's followed by another Fire month. Then another. Then another.
And if you look at the year as a whole, Water is noticeably scarce.
In practical terms, there is no shortage of emotion, speed, reactivity, and urgency.
What is in shorter supply is patience, perspective, cool-headed thinking, and wisdom.
Now, speed isn't always bad. Sometimes quick action is exactly what's needed.
But we're grown adults. And, you know, from time to time it's worth stopping for five minutes and thinking before doing something.
Especially before making decisions that may take months to clean up afterward.
If there is already an area of your life under pressure, you essentially have two options.
The first is to keep your head down, lay low, avoid major moves, and wait things out. Sometimes that's exactly the right strategy.
The second is to keep living your life. Run your business. Build your relationships. Raise your children. Make decisions. Move forward.
Most of us don't really have the luxury of putting life on hold.
So if we're going to act anyway, it helps to know when the odds are working for us and when they aren't.
Because very few situations fall apart because of one bad decision.
Most problems come from a series of bad decisions stacked on top of each other.
That's why I use this calendar.
Not to control life.
Not to predict the future (even though I'm relatively good at that.)
But to reduce the number of expensive mistakes I make.
The calendar costs $25.
Once I receive your payment, I'll add you to the Telegram group where the June calendar is already available.
If you've never purchased anything from me before, send me a message and I'll send you my PayPal details.
In the meantime, I'll keep brainstorming ways to make my newsletters more useful and less like content created for the sake of creating content.
I want to create things I actually use myself.
Things that genuinely help.
Things I'm proud to put my name on.
Content for the sake of content has never really been my thing.
Maybe that's unfortunate in Period 9. Oh well
