🧿 Message from the Yi-Ching

Yourself — Hexagram 62 (Xiao Guo: Preponderance of the Small)

Balance is essential.
If you are being passive, you should become slightly more proactive.
If you are already proactive, you may be overdoing it — in that case, restrain yourself.

Your Environment

Male (Female at work) — Hexagram 62 (Xiao Guo)
The environment mirrors your position.
Adjust your actions carefully, avoiding both excess and deficiency.

Female (Male at home) — Hexagram 16 (Yu: Enthusiasm)
What you have been preparing will begin to show results.
Starting something new is acceptable.
If you proceed according to rules, manuals, and proper order, things will move smoothly and bring joy.

📌 Points & Advice

1. A slower pace brings better outcomes

This month, you are influenced by Star #2 energy, making a slow and steady pace the most effective approach.
Star #3 individuals are often quick and agile by nature, so conscious adjustment is required.

Your environment is under the influence of Star #8, associated with stopping and transformation.
Progress may follow a pattern of stopping, then moving forward, then stopping again.

Those around you may feel stuck, and some may be carrying unresolved problems.
However, your energy and the surrounding energy are aligned.

Rather than pushing forward aggressively, turn your attention inward to strengthen your foundation.

There are times suitable for outward activity, and times suitable for internal preparation.
January is a preparation phase.

Instead of looking upward or forward, focus downward and inward.
Star #8 symbolizes mountains — adopt a high vantage point and look down calmly.

This is a time to observe what is happening inside organizations, families, and inner structures.

2. A shift in circumstances marks both change and a new beginning

Something may come to a stop.
What stops is often exactly what needs to be addressed.

For some, a major external change will arrive, followed by the beginning of something significant.

Even if the change feels unwanted, accept it — it will lead to future results.

Some may receive offers involving heavy responsibility from superiors such as bosses, company presidents, or senior figures.
These are valuable opportunities, so accept them proactively.

There is a sequence:
first a stop, then a new beginning.

Do not worry if things temporarily stagnate.
When change arrives, momentum will grow rapidly.

Those making requests are often in a hurry, so respond promptly.
However, proceed one step at a time, carefully and reliably.

3. Solutions begin to appear for ongoing issues

Long-standing, accumulated problems may surface.
This month, they are easier to resolve, so begin with small, manageable steps.

These issues may relate to work, family, or even land and property matters.
They represent January’s core challenges.

Star #3 individuals are quick-moving and may feel tempted to solve everything at once.
Instead, move three times slower than usual, preparing thoroughly before acting.

If you rush, results will not be favorable.

💼 Work Luck

• Changes are coming.
  You may be transferred, experience changes in responsibilities, or see shifts in clients.
• You may be required to relocate offices or warehouses, or reconsider the direction of your business.

  Change direction quickly and decisively.
• Sales of previously popular products or services may suddenly drop or stop.
  This is a signal that a new direction is needed.
  Swift response is essential.
• This is a good month to start a business or change jobs.
  Direction matters — avoid unlucky directions indicated in the gray areas of the compass chart.
  Detailed monthly and annual direction guidance will be provided separately after the annual fortune posts.
• For those facing organizational issues, resolving internal problems leads to opportunity.
  Topics may include organizational reform, downsizing, or communication issues between superiors and subordinates.

💰 Money Luck

If you hold stocks, bonds, or real estate, review your assets carefully.
This is also a suitable time to reassess funding for business reform or restructuring.

🩺 Health Luck

• Back pain and joint pain are likely.
  Even if symptoms seem resolved, recurrence is common — proceed with caution.

• Interactions with family are especially lucky.
• Changes in family structure may occur, and family members may face problems.
  Support them patiently in resolving these issues.

  Their words may contain hints leading to valuable opportunities.

• For those with partners, relationships may shift toward marriage-oriented intentions.

🧿 Message from the Yi-Ching

Yourself — Hexagram 4 (Meng: Youthful Folly)

Proceeding without understanding immaturity and ignorance is dangerous.
There is a lack of information and knowledge at present.
Humbly seek guidance from your leaders or mentors.

Your Environment — Hexagram 9 (Xiao Chu: The Taming Power of the Small)

Things appear to be moving forward, yet they are not progressing smoothly.
This sense of stagnation comes from inner dissatisfaction and anxiety.

In other words, this is a time to acknowledge current limitations in ability.
Rather than forcing results, accumulate skills and preparation in anticipation of the next major opportunity.

📌 Points & Advice

1. When the mind is in order, everything else naturally falls into place

Bathed in sunlight, you are likely to be noticed, evaluated, and placed under attention this month.
Because you yourself are illuminated, you can also see the situation around you very clearly.

However, seeing too much can also lead to irritation and emotional reactions.
Emotional control becomes the key factor this month.

You may receive both evaluation and expectation from superiors or people in higher positions.
At such times, a rebellious or defiant attitude may arise.

Considering the strong influence of Star #9 energy this month,
the first priority is to bring order to your own mind.
This mental alignment is the secret to ensuring that everything proceeds smoothly.

You may also have more opportunities to attend glamorous or high-profile gatherings,
particularly meetings of executives or people in influential positions.

At such occasions, be polite, well-groomed, and appropriately dressed.
Because confrontational feelings can easily arise now, exercise caution.

Others may appear lazy or careless to you,
but please continue to behave with courtesy.

Hidden pressures (Anken energy) tend to operate behind the scenes this month,
so make a conscious effort not to be ruled by emotions.

2. Unexpected events with significant impact unfold

Some people may experience unexpected good fortune, while others may face unexpected troubles.

Even if an unexpected event takes the form of separation or loss,
for Star #4 entering a new stage from 2026 onward, this process is necessary.

People and things that are no longer needed will leave,
while what is truly necessary for you will remain.

Even if you feel sadness temporarily,
new and better elements will eventually enter your life.

3. Major responsibilities or large-scale matters come your way

Large requests or responsibilities may arrive from superiors, company presidents, fathers, or senior figures.
These matters represent January’s key challenges.

Those making the requests may themselves be facing serious problems.
At first glance, these may appear to be major troubles.

Please address them patiently and persistently, resolving issues step by step.

Both you and those around you will carry fast-moving energy this month.
If you rush, efforts may become inefficient or misdirected.

Proceed slowly, carefully, and reliably to bring matters to resolution.

💼 Work Luck

• You will be busy with tasks involving significant responsibility.
  Those around you are also capable, so acknowledge and recommend their contributions.Because of heavy workloads, irritation may arise easily.

• Many tasks may come directly from bosses or clients, sometimes accompanied by problems.
  These individuals can serve as valuable advisors this month.
  Seek their input and work together to resolve issues.
• Your past efforts are likely to be highly evaluated and publicly recognized, both internally and externally.
  If you are offered opportunities such as presentations or public appearances, accept them.
  Being visible is a lucky action this month.
• Some people may receive awards or formal recognition.
  This is also a favorable year for qualification and certification exams.
• You may feel like quitting your job.
  If this impulse comes from emotional dissatisfaction with superiors or colleagues, you may regret it later.However, in cases of headhunting or offers with clearly favorable conditions, changing jobs is acceptable.

💰 Money Luck

You may feel drawn to expensive or high-quality items.
This month, it is lucky to purchase or experience things that are one level above your usual standard.

However, be careful not to overspend.
Set a clear budget so that next month’s credit card statement does not come as a shock.
Enjoy luxury within limits.

🩺 Health Luck

• Pay attention to your circulatory system.
  Those with high blood pressure are especially prone to irritability, so monitor your condition carefully.
• Be cautious of cerebral infarction, heart disease, and similar issues.
  If you experience headaches, consult a doctor promptly.
• Take care of your eyes, and beware of burns or high fevers.
• Make time for rest and mental refreshment.
  This is a period requiring sustained focus, so fatigue can accumulate easily.

🤝 Interpersonal Luck

• Providing support and service to your family helps smooth your overall fortune.
• Star #9 represents light and fire.
  While brightness is important, it also increases the tendency toward short temper.
• Star #6 energy adds a strong sun-like passion, which can become excessive this month.
  Keep your words and actions humble, warm, and cheerful.
• Politeness and fashion appropriate to the occasion bring good luck in January.

• Make an effort to change your mood and avoid conflicts.

• Women may encounter older, capable men.
• If you are looking for a long-term relationship, proceed calmly and steadily.
• There is also a possibility of reconnecting with a former partner.

  Be careful with words — criticism reduces fortune.
• Rather than demonstrating leadership, it is luckier to keep pace with those around you.
• Communicate with your daughter or sophisticated women.
  They may provide hints leading to future good fortune.

💖 Love Luck

• You may meet someone with whom the relationship develops slowly but becomes a true partner in the future.
• If you meet someone this month, stay connected as friends first and take a long-term view.
• March brings a chance to meet a soul mate.
  This is not a relationship that progresses all at once; January is the stage of sowing seeds.
• For women, this is a time when pregnancy is more likely.
  A favorable period for those wishing to have children.

🌏 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.

✨ Theme for January 2026

Star #6

• Sudden and unforeseen changes alter the situation
• Perseverance is required — do not give up
• Stepping back rather than pushing forward leads to better outcomes

🧭 Compass Chart Insights

In January, Star #6 is located in the Southwest, overlapping Star #2 on the original compass chart and receiving strong disruptive (Hakai) energy.
Star #2 represents the power of motherhood, earth, nurturing, tolerance, and generosity.

At the same time, Star #6 is positioned above Star #8 on the yearly compass chart.
Star #8 carries the power of change, reform, transitions, division, stopping points, and family matters.

Star #3 is located at the opposite pole.
Star #3 represents development, progress, sound, voice, manifestation, education, and learning.
People may expect you to act like Star #3, and through people or situations connected to Star #3, opportunities may open for you.

🧿 Message from the Yi-Ching

Yourself — Hexagram 12 (Pi: Stagnation)

Even correct arguments and common sense may not work as expected.
What you need will arrive only when the timing is right.

This is a time of endurance.
The difficulty you face is shaping your inner strength.

Your Environment — Hexagram 33 (Dun: Retreat)

There is a clear trend of decline around you.
In this situation, retreat is fortunate.

Do not be pulled down by stubbornness or by feelings of regret and waste.
If you feel the need to escape or step away, doing so is considered lucky.

📌 Points & Advice

1. Sudden and unforeseen changes alter the situation

December was likely a very demanding period.
From January, you begin to enter a more favorable cycle, and things will gradually recover.
A sense of stability will slowly return.

However, complacency is dangerous.
This month, you are influenced by disruptive (Hakai) energy, so unexpected troubles may arise, especially when things seem to be going smoothly.

These issues are most likely to involve family or relatives.

Please accept these unexpected changes.
Accepting change will lead to better outcomes.

Just when results seem close, problems may occur.
However, the appearance of these problems indicates what truly needs to be addressed.

Deal with each issue carefully, one by one.
January is a time to handle small, low-profit, seemingly trivial tasks steadily and patiently.

Even if problems arise, continue moving forward.
Progress may be slow, but light will gradually begin to appear.

2. Perseverance is required — do not give up

In January, interference often appears just when you feel it is finally over.

This is a sign that your efforts have accumulated and results are about to emerge.
After enduring the harsh period of December and finally seeing the end, motivation may suddenly drop.

However, these interruptions occur precisely because the matter is important to you.
Recognize this and continue patiently without giving up.

3. Stepping back rather than pushing forward leads to better outcomes

This month, stepping back becomes a key theme, just as it was in December.

People around you may complain, hesitate, or move forward and stop repeatedly, creating an unsmooth situation.

If you try to persuade them forcefully or confront their problems head-on,
you may end up cornered with no room to maneuver.

Star #6 individuals have a strong sense of justice, are capable of producing results, and often display leadership.
However, this month you receive the opposite energy of Star #2.

Therefore, it is recommended that you step back and observe the situation from a higher perspective.

A tolerant attitude — calmly accepting and watching over circumstances —
will help you rebuild your foundation, which is this month’s core task.

From February onward, movement will become smoother.
For now, please endure.

The year 2026 is a year to learn tolerance and generosity.
This lesson will support you later, when an active phase begins and those around you naturally assist you in reaching your goals.

January is a time to build the foundation for future action.

💼 Work Luck

• It is better not to try to lead others aggressively this month.
  There are times when you should let go and entrust tasks to those around you.
  A waiting posture is sometimes required.
  Move at a slower pace and observe how others grow.
• Work requests may increase.
  These are often small, low-profit tasks, including handling complaints.
  However, these duties are important for raising your fortune in January.

💰 Money Luck

• This is a good year for savings.
  Income and sales remain stable.
  For those considering investment, conservative, savings-oriented options are recommended.
• Saving small amounts consistently can lead to significant growth.
• This is also a good time to consider savings carefully, but verify information thoroughly.
  Situations may arise where you must temporarily draw on savings.This occurs because the saving energies of Star #2 and Star #8 are influenced by disruptive and pressure-related forces.
• If you anticipate necessary spending, it is better to evaluate in January and execute in February.
• In traditional wisdom, 2026 is considered a year in which spending money appropriately can help avert illness or misfortune.

🩺 Health Luck

• Take care of your stomach and digestive system.
• Be cautious of uneven footing.
  Joint pain or back pain may occur more easily.
• Women should seek medical attention promptly if they notice any unusual symptoms.

🤝 Interpersonal Luck

• Relationships with those close to you are especially important.
  Pay attention to family, colleagues, and particularly mothers and wives.
• Supporting the people around you brings good fortune this month.
• Simple cheerful greetings, especially in the morning, bring happiness to others.
• If you have a son, make time for meaningful conversations with him.
  These discussions may provide hints leading to future opportunities.
• If you do not have a son, seek the opinions of younger people.

💖 Love Luck

• Look for romance close to you, not far away.
• If you already have a partner, take your time and nurture the relationship patiently.
• Men may have opportunities for romance with older women.
• If you are in a relationship, this is a good time to introduce your partner to your family.

• Progress and forward movement

🧿 Yi-Ching Messages

🔹 Yourself — Hexagram 19 (Approach)

This is a time to challenge yourself.
The path is already open.

Do not hesitate or delay.
This is a short-term decisive phase—act promptly.

Keeping a high, long-term perspective will determine your success.

🔹 Your Environment — Hexagram 49 (Revolution)

The current situation has reached its limit.
Now is the time for fundamental change.

Discard the old and seek the new.
Remaining stuck in routine leads to decline.

This transformation requires boldness and perseverance.

📌 Advice Points

🌅 A New Chapter or Phase Begins

You are strongly influenced by the power of the rising morning sun.

• Waking up early
• Morning greetings
• Speaking first

These are powerful fortune-enhancing actions.

Star #3 represents “voice,”
so actively communicating and reaching out to others brings luck.

Your motivation and energy increase naturally this month.
From January, you officially enter a high-luck, active cycle.

A large amount of information will come in.
Not all of it will be beneficial—but your judgment is sharp this month,
allowing you to discern what is truly useful.

The influence of morning sun energy may reveal hidden matters.
If you are keeping secrets, prepare in advance so that exposure causes no harm.

In some cases, this energy may uncover:

• A long-standing physical condition
• Or a hidden talent or ability you were not aware of

🌊 Stability Comes from Following the Proper Flow

Following others brings good fortune—
but this does not mean blind obedience.

You follow guidance in order to achieve your own goals and dreams.

You do not need to agree with everything.
However, sharing problems and situations with those around you leads to smoother progress.

Another key is timing.
When you sense a good opportunity, act immediately.
Hesitation causes chances to pass.

🌟 Recognition and Visibility Increase

If you are offered opportunities for:

• Public speaking
• Presentations
• Standing in front of others

accept them proactively.

For some, past efforts will finally be recognized,
leading to promotion or increased responsibility.

At the same time, focus on self-reform.

Aim for a transformation significant enough
that you feel you have become a different version of yourself.

Let go of what is no longer necessary.
When reforming situations or systems, gain agreement from those around you.

Self-reform can be done alone,
but situational reform requires consensus.
Avoid forcing changes unilaterally.

🍀 Work Luck

• This is a good time for advertising and promotion.
  Expansion of sales or scope is better suited for next month.
  Do not expect immediate profit growth yet—results will follow later.
• A great deal of information will arrive, including investment opportunities.
  Only about 3 out of 10 profit stories are reliable—be selective.
• You will have many ideas.
  Opinions from younger colleagues are especially valuable.
  Exchange ideas actively for future growth.
• Talented specialists are nearby.
  Seek their advice.
• This month is ideal for organizational reform.
  Review outdated systems and prepare for a better structure.
  January offers clear judgment—use it well.
  The true development phase begins next month.

💰 Money Luck

• Self-investment is lucky.
  This is not a time for aggressive saving or profit-seeking investments.
• Expenses for future growth—
  such as education, skill development, or equipment replacement—
  bring good fortune.

🩺 Health Luck

• Getting up early improves overall luck.
• Discomfort in the throat or eyes signals the need for rest.
• Take care of your liver and avoid excessive alcohol.
• Headaches require immediate medical attention.
  Those with chronic conditions (such as high blood pressure)
  should be cautious of cerebral issues.

🤝 Interpersonal Luck

• Morning greetings, cheerful communication, and positive words bring luck.
• This year emphasizes the power of words.
  Careless remarks are more likely—
  if you offend someone, apologize promptly and sincerely.
• People around you seek someone tolerant and patient.
• Maintain good relationships with:
  • Sons and children
  • Young people
• If you are the eldest child, fulfill that role responsibly.
• Knowledgeable individuals are nearby—value their guidance.
• If in doubt, consult your mother, wife, or middle-aged women.
  They may offer hints leading to valuable opportunities.

💕 Love Luck

• New encounters are likely.
  Observe carefully—there is also a risk of deception.
• Opportunities to meet a younger partner may arise.
  Take time and proceed calmly.
• Those already in relationships may see hidden matters come to light.

🧿 Message from the Yi-Ching

Yourself — Hexagram 18 (Gu: Correction of Decay)

You may feel that things are calm and stable on the surface.
However, beneath that peace, internal decay has already begun.

This is a crucial moment.
Now is the final opportunity to cut problems off at the root before they grow deeper.

Your Environment — Hexagram 4 (Meng: Youthful Folly)

Proceeding without sufficient understanding is dangerous.
There is immaturity, lack of information, and insufficient knowledge around you.

Rather than pushing forward alone, humbly seek guidance from experienced leaders or mentors.
This attitude will protect you from unnecessary mistakes.

📌 Points & Advice

1. You play an important role as a coordinator or mediator

As in December, your luck remains strong.
Many people experienced 2025 as a tough year due to the lingering influence of powerful central energies, and April is still under that influence.

Although caution is required, many people may feel that light has gradually begun to break through since last month.
April is a month of expansion.

Your personal energy is strong, but the people around you may be depleted.
There are likely individuals who are worried, exhausted, or unable to move forward.

Please listen to their concerns and complaints, and offer support.
Many want to act but feel stuck.
By trusting others and supporting them, you will also gain their trust in return.

2. Problems are renewed and reorganized from the ground up

Long-standing issues must be renewed and restructured.
What has continued for too long may no longer fit the current era.

Address these matters sooner rather than later.

You may also receive an offer or proposal that appears unattractive at first glance.
Do not rush.
Observe carefully and keep it on hold for now.

3. Supporting others strengthens trust and connection

This month, many people around you may be struggling, understaffed, or overwhelmed.

If left unattended, there is a risk that organizations or teams could weaken or collapse.

Because your luck is strong and you are endowed with harmonizing and adjusting energy,
it is important to support those around you.

You may find it more beneficial to work behind the scenes rather than taking the spotlight.

4. Far Away

Travel is favorable this month.
Please be mindful of directions (unlucky directions have already been shared), but movement itself is lucky.

You are also fortunate in communicating with people far away, especially through SNS and online platforms.

💼 Work Luck

• First, organize and resolve issues that have been left unattended for a long time.
  Old equipment or systems under consideration for replacement may cause trouble.
  Repair or replace them this month.
• Expand your service area.
  This is a good time for importing and exporting services overseas.
  Use SNS, direct messages, and public posts to broaden your reach.
  New clients from abroad may appear.
• These efforts will bring results and income in March and April .
  This is a year to make a strong impact.
• If you are a YouTuber or run an SNS-based business, this is an excellent opportunity to increase followers.
• Teamwork is essential this month.

💰 Money Luck

• Review your income and expenses carefully.
  Let go of unnecessary costs such as unused paid subscriptions.
• Travel expenses are lucky.

🩺 Health Luck

• Do not overexert yourself.
• Be cautious of colds and sinus issues.
  Avoid cooling your body.
• Hot baths with aroma oils and salt are highly recommended and will also enhance your luck.
• Body conditioning such as yoga or stretching is beneficial.
  You may be prone to muscle strain, so massage is recommended.
• Take care of your intestinal health.
• Wash your hands and gargle regularly, as you may be more susceptible to infections.
• Women should pay attention to gynecological health.

🤝 Interpersonal Luck

• Relationships are especially important this month.
  Maintain harmony with those around you, and reconnect with distant friends, especially those you have grown apart from.
• Treat people politely and gently.
  Star #8 individuals tend to be quiet, which may make others feel hesitant to approach you.
  Create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
• Communicate well with your daughter or refined, sophisticated women.
• Some people around you may feel confused or unwell.
  Think about how you can support them.
  Even if progress is slow, do not become emotional.
  Listening carefully may provide hints that lead to future opportunities.

💖 Love Luck

• A favorable period for romantic opportunities.
• Good timing for marriage discussions.
• New romances are likely to develop primarily through SNS.
• Long-distance relationships are also favored.
