② Strengthening Foundations and Core Structures
This month is about reinforcing your inner foundations.
In an organizational context, this includes office worker roles; in private life, it includes your health, living environment, family relationships, and close connections.
This is not yet the time to push outward.
Opportunities will come later, but without a stable foundation, true growth will not be possible—especially in 2026, a year of major advancement.
This is also a chance for problem resolution.
Long-standing, troublesome issues now have the power to be resolved through destruction and regeneration.
Do not carry unresolved inner issues into 2026’s expansion phase, or stumbling may occur later.
2025 was a dawn period, with many new beginnings and constant activity, leaving little time for self-care.
In January, prioritize preparing yourself—physically, mentally, and structurally—for 2026.
③ The Results of Past Efforts Become Visible
You may find it difficult to move personally, but those around you can act.
When positioned at the center, the rule is clear: others support you.
This is the stance of the King’s Seat.
Relying on others will bring better results.
You see those around you clearly, and they also see you clearly.
Your past efforts become visible and are likely to be evaluated positively.
There may be opportunities to meet powerful figures, people of honor, or well-known individuals whom you would not normally encounter.
They may recognize your abilities, and you may be expected to play a larger role.
However, this position can also bring arrogance or control tendencies.
Whether circumstances expand smoothly or become blocked depends on this attitude.
Express gratitude toward those who consistently support you.
Listen to others’ opinions, observe their abilities, and consider how to utilize them next month, which will be a decisive period.
If problems arise, see them as a signal for self-reflection.
Resolve them now and move forward into February and 2026.
Think of this month as a detox period.
