It has been quite a long time since I last delivered a public feng shui talk, mainly due to time constraints.
I would like to sincerely thank Eco World for the kind invitation, as well as for their excellent cooperation and professionalism throughout the event.
During the session, I noticed many familiar faces—silent followers and long-time supporters who have always been there quietly. Many of you listened attentively, choosing to stay low-key and shyly refraining from coming forward to say hello. Your presence and support did not go unnoticed, and I truly appreciate it.
My heartfelt thanks once again to Eco World, and to all my friends and supporters who have continued to stand by me over the years.
The recent election results in Japan and Thailand reveal several meaningful signs of our time. One trend that particularly stands out is the rising sense of nationalism across many countries.
In Thailand’s case, the election outcome was largely influenced by the border conflict with Cambodia. This conflict significantly heightened national self-defense awareness and collective identity, which was clearly reflected at the ballot box.
Similarly, the Japanese government gained strong domestic support by adopting a more confrontational stance toward China, ultimately securing electoral victory.
These developments inevitably bring us back to the concept of the Period 9 (九运) in the San Yuan cycle, which is governed by the Fire element and represented by the Li Gua (离卦) in the I Ching.
The word Li not only signifies fire, but also conveys meanings of separation, distance, and detachment.
Ancient observers noted that early humans used fire to protect their tribes by keeping wild animals at a distance. Hence, the Fire trigram was named Li.
Have you noticed? As we enter the era of the Li Gua, distances between nations—and even between ethnic groups and religions—are becoming increasingly pronounced. People and societies are turning inward, focusing more on self-protection.
On the geopolitical stage, Japan is clearly moving closer to the United States in countering China, while relations between China and the U.S. continue to drift further apart.
At the domestic level, racial and religious tolerance also seems less inclusive than it once was.
From a daily life perspective, the characteristics of the Fire era are everywhere.
Meetings once required physical gatherings; today, they are conducted via remote video calls.
Businesspeople used to visit banks daily; now, a single click transfers funds instantly—no face-to-face interaction required.
Through “fire” in its modern form—the internet, digital networks, and technology—people complete tasks in remarkably short timeframes. This is a textbook manifestation of the Li Gua.
Moreover, the Li Gua also represents the “middle daughter,” symbolizing women. We are witnessing a significant rise in the status and influence of women, with many major corporations now led by female executives.
Even in Japan, a society traditionally viewed as male-dominated, strong and influential female political figures, the first Japanese female Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi—have emerged, further reflecting the unmistakable imprint of the Period 9 Fire era.
Currently, there are approximately 27 women serving as heads of state (presidents) or heads of government (prime ministers) worldwide. This includes the President of Mexico, the President and Prime Minister of Iceland, the Prime Minister of Denmark, the President of India, the President of Ireland, the Prime Minister of Italy, and even an acting female president in Venezuela, a country long dominated by strongman rule. Clearly, the number of women in top leadership positions is steadily rising.
Did you know that many people think the new year only begins after Chinese New Year?
But in metaphysics, the true start of your annual fortune begins at Li Chun.
Li Chun is the first of the 24 solar terms.
It represents the rise of Yang energy and the retreat of Yin energy, and it is the moment when good luck is activated.
The ancient saying “San Yang Kai Tai” refers exactly to this time.
In 2026, Li Chun falls on February 4 at 4:03 a.m.
From this moment onward, the zodiac signs and annual energy officially shift,
and many people will begin to experience changes in their luck.
In the I Ching, Li Chun corresponds to the Earth–Heaven Tai Hexagram,
symbolizing harmony between heaven and earth and the turning of bad fortune into good.
Simply put: the negative fades, and the positive begins.
Now, here comes the key question— What should you do on Li Chun to boost your luck?
First: Maintain a good mood throughout the day.
Avoid arguments and anger.
Your emotions on Li Chun symbolize your energetic state for the entire year.
Second: Wake up early and go outdoors to absorb Yang energy.
Avoid sleeping in if possible.
Take a walk on grass, and face the sun for one to two minutes.
This symbolizes welcoming good fortune.
Third: Wear new clothes to welcome a fresh start.
Li Chun represents renewal—
when you look refreshed, your energy shifts too.
Fourth: Manage your wealth energy carefully on Li Chun.
It is recommended to deposit some money in the bank, symbolizing growing wealth.
Try to avoid paying bills or issuing cheques on this day to reduce symbols of wealth loss.
Fifth: Feng Shui wealth activation is crucial.
In 2026, the wealth sector is the Southeast.
On Li Chun, place a wealth box in the Southeast,
and add a red envelope with 168 inside,
symbolizing continuous prosperity and wealth accumulation.
Sixth: Turn on lights and ventilate your space to welcome new energy.
Switch on lights and fans to activate Qi flow,
and make a simple prayer for peace and smoothness in the coming year.
Keep your rice container full as a symbol of abundance.
Finally, remember to follow the simple Feng Shui steps I shared in my earlier videos,
using the 2026 Annual Flying Star principles to make adjustments—
this will make the results more effective and accurate.
On Li Chun, try to avoid cutting your hair, getting angry, or using harsh words.
The more harmonious you are, the smoother your year will be.
