Q: How does the Potential Star manifest, and how can I utilize it?
✨ “Self-Discovery” is an important challenge for many stars this month
“Self-discovery” is not a journey to find a new version of yourself out in the external world. It is the process of remembering the Potential Star that already exists within you and comfortably connecting with your subconscious self. Gently listen to the voice of your own heart. Within that “comfort of being your natural self” lies the exact answer you have been looking for. The power of the Potential Star emerges with age, but it is said that its influence appears earlier in people engaged in creative work, such as designers and architects, or in artists.
🌿 The Answer to “Self-Discovery” Lies Within: Potential Stars and the Way of Wu-Wei
To all the stars currently facing the challenge of self-discovery and asking yourselves, “What is my natural self?”, we would like to talk about the stages of life and the subconscious mind.
📖 Two Stages of Life: From Confucius to Laozi
Life can be broadly divided into two distinct phases.
- The First Stage (The Teachings of Confucius): In our youth, this is a period where we fulfill our roles in society and continuously strive toward our goals. In the context of Nine Star Ki Feng Shui, this is the stage where we fully utilize our Main Star (our outward personality and social face) and work relentlessly to carve out our reality.
- The Second Stage (Laozi’s “Wu-Wei” or Effortless Action): As we accumulate experience, we begin to realize the deep comfort of letting go of artificial control and the attachment to how things “should” be, surrendering instead to the natural flow. This is the phase of releasing excessive force and discovering the true strength of simply being as you are.
🌙 Tufti’s Principles and the Potential Star of Nine Star Feng-Shui
The comfort found in this “Wu-Wei” (being in your natural state) represents the exact same truth advocated in modern psychology and Tufti’s principles: “Connecting deeply with the subconscious mind (your true self).” And in Nine Star Feng Shui, it is the Potential Star that represents this subconscious mind, your hidden true feelings, and your inherent talents.
- Letting Go of the Ego’s Power: When you stop using your conscious mind to forcefully manipulate reality, and instead relax and release your rigid intentions, you enter your most natural state.
- The Awakening of the Potential Star: It is precisely in this relaxed state that you connect with the energy of your Potential Star deep within your heart. Then, what truly brings you comfort and peace becomes crystal clear.
For young people who are in the crucial period of building their foundation, it is important first and foremost to live primarily through their Main Star. However, because the Potential Star represents abilities emerging directly from the subconscious, we believe that harmonizing it with your Main Star is the key to reducing stress and living a natural way of life.
For example, while you may navigate the professional world using your Main Star, consciously incorporating the elements of your Potential Star into your private life will bring a profound sense of ease. Please take a moment to explore the unique characteristics of your own Potential Star. We are certain that it will serve as a guiding light for you in some way.
