SOUTH – #9 Very Lucky, but Magnified Loss
The South needs to be treated with care.

SOUTHWEST – Strong Illness Chi
The SW continues to be dangerous this month. The incoming Illness Star gets magnified by the annual 9, which drains one of energy, bringing possible health problems and spiritual disturbances. It weakens one’s resolve and can cause residents to become vulnerable to the manipulation of others. Remedy the harmful energies here with the Wu Lou or Pair of Cranes with Peaches and Bamboo. Matriarchs and those living in SW-facing homes and SW sector bedrooms must not take their health for granted. Place the “Wu Lou & Peach” Bucket of Good Fortune by your bedside.
