📌 Points & Advice
1. Prioritize physical and mental well-being — avoid overexertion
Health management is the top priority this month.
Pay close attention to cold exposure, as illnesses such as colds may linger longer than usual.
Keep your body warm and ensure sufficient sleep.
Star #5 positioned in the North indicates a state of being “inside a hole”, symbolizing limited mobility.
This is not an easy time to be active.
From next month, activity will gradually increase, so January should be used to fully recharge your physical strength.
Take care not to fall ill, as it may affect your ability to act in the coming months.
Emotionally, you may feel down or unmotivated.
Please understand this as a characteristic of this month, not a personal failure.
While you may feel low in energy, those around you are influenced by Star #7, creating a cheerful and lively atmosphere.
You may receive invitations for meals or parties — please accept them.
Bringing joy to others is a key point for improving your fortune.
Even if you do not feel enthusiastic, try to match the surrounding mood.
Spending on social occasions is lucky.
Maintain a service-oriented mindset in relationships, and once you return home, rest early.
2. Accepting a small loss leads to smoother overall results
This is a time when accepting a loss works in your favor.
Situations where you feel disadvantaged should be accepted calmly.
In time, these experiences will return to you as greater luck.
If people come to you for advice or help, give freely.
What you offer may be your skills, abilities, wisdom, ideas, or even financial support.
Sharing what you have is an important key this month.
💼 Work Luck
- For those starting something new:
This is a good time to research and gather information for new projects.
Actual implementation is recommended from the end of this month or next month.There are cases where a business started in a Star #1 year endured ten years of hardship,
only to be transformed into a million-dollar enterprise by a single phone call a decade later.January marks the starting point of long-term results beyond your imagination.
If you are aiming for major success, this is a suitable time to begin planning.
Set intentions for the next nine months.Stars #6 and #8 are also favorable for starting projects, as explained in a separate post (Category: All Stars). - Take good care of relationships with employees and coworkers.
A peaceful and pleasant atmosphere is lucky.

🌏 Doyo Period (winter → spring )
January 17 – February 3
This is a period when the energy of the earth is replaced, occurring four times a year between the seasons.
Traditionally, it was believed to be a time to return soil to the universe,
and people were advised to avoid working with soil.
If working with soil is unavoidable due to your job, use gloves.
During this time, objects, people, and situations may become unstable.
Conflicts are more likely, and some appliances may malfunction.
It is also advised to refrain from signing new contracts or canceling existing ones during this period.
If a contract must be signed, proceed with extra caution.
