🔑 Key Points
- Lucky for communication with people

🧭 Star #8’s Location and Influence
In July 2025, Star #8 is positioned in the west according to the monthly compass, overlapping the original position of Star #7, which symbolizes enjoyment, retirement, hobbies, money, romance, and also potential defects or shortages.
On the yearly compass, Star #8 sits above Star #4, which is associated with EHO Power—the power of prosperity, continuity, trust, harmony, forest, marriage, and good relationships. The opposing point is also Star #4, suggesting that the people and things around you can offer hints for your luck.
🌲 Understanding EHO Power
EHO Power shines in the west-southwest direction at 10°, acting as a power spot throughout 2025. The energy is particularly strong during the summer solstice, when earth and sky energies shift. This brings benefits to those influenced by Star #4, especially in their monthly and yearly fortunes.
🔮 Message from the I Ching
Yourself (Hexagram 41):
You may feel you’re losing something, but don’t focus on gain or loss. Give freely without expecting a return. Look at things from a long-term perspective.
Your Environment (Hexagram 18):
While things seem peaceful on the surface, internal decay may be setting in. Now is your last chance to cut off the roots of that decay before it spreads.
💡 Advice & Highlights for July
🤝 Communication Brings Luck
This is a joyful and lucky month for relationships. Enjoy meals, tea, and casual gatherings with others—it helps build future connections. Pay special attention to conversations during shared meals or through shared hobbies.
🔄 Seek Improvement and Innovation
Something in your routine needs to change. This is a key theme for July.
Outdated methods or ways of thinking may be deteriorating. Finding and addressing them can lead to sustainable wisdom and better results.
People under Star #8 tend to be calm and grounded—like a mountain. They’re conservative and steady, which can bring comfort to others. However, if everything stays the same too long, it may lead to stagnation or decay.
Use your interactions—especially through meals and hobbies—to identify what needs reform. Find new ideas and approaches, and begin moving toward change. Start carefully; July may not be the month for full transformation, but it is the time to discover what’s no longer working.
🗂️ Organizing is Lucky
The influence of Star #4 (organization) and Star #7 (letting go) is strong this month.
Take time to list your thoughts, feelings, habits, and distractions. Step back and observe yourself objectively. Let go of what no longer serves you. Focus on what brings true joy. This mental and emotional tidying-up continues from June and sets the tone for the second half of the year.
🌍 Opportunities from Afar
Great chances may come from distant places. Spread your current projects widely—favorable tailwinds support expansion.
Travel is especially lucky this month. Reconnecting with people from your past—such as former friends, colleagues, or long-distance contacts—can lead to opportunities.
Use the Internet and social media (also influenced by Star #4) effectively. Direct messages or online outreach may bring new connections.
Lucky travel directions:
- North
- East-Northeast (30°)
⚠️ Exceptions:
- Not lucky if your birth month star is #1 or #2 (for north)
- Not lucky if your birth month star is #9 or #3 (for east-northeast)
✅ If traveling long-distance: aim for at least 2 nights or more
✅ Short-distance trips are still lucky if purposeful

🎋🍁DOYO Term (Summer to Fall)
July 19 – August 6
The DOYO term marks a transitional phase between the seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—occurring four times a year. This particular DOYO term bridges summer and fall. It is a time to reset and replace the Earth’s energy.
In traditional wisdom, Star #5 governs the DOYO period. This star carries both destructive and regenerative energy, symbolizing endings that pave the way for new beginnings.
・Historically, this was seen as a time to return the soil to the universe, and people were advised to avoid disturbing the ground. If you must work with soil, it’s recommended to wear gloves as a form of energetic protection. During this time, people, objects, and even situations may become unstable due to the shifting Earth energy.
- Avoid major decisions. Judgment may be clouded, and impulsive choices can lead to regret. It’s best to finalize plans and make large purchases before this period begins.
- Be cautious with conflict. Tensions can run high, and misunderstandings may arise. Take extra care in communication and avoid confrontations when possible.
- Appliance issues may surface. Expect minor disruptions or malfunctions in daily life.
- Refrain from starting or ending contracts. This includes marriages, engagements, store openings, or canceling agreements. If you must proceed, choose a day called MABI, when positive energy helps ease confusion.
Recommended MABI Days (when energy is softened):
July 21, July 22, July 26, August 2, August 3
