How to Increase Your Luck by Your Birth Year
In Chinese metaphysics, "luck" is not chance. It is a state of harmony between Heaven, Earth and Human.
Your birth year defines your innate flow of Qi: the way the Universe was "breathing" at the moment you arrived.
If you know how to work with this flow, life falls into place naturally, without a struggle.
If you go against it, everything falls apart, however hard you try.

💎 How to boost your luck in any year\
- Live in harmony with the season.
In spring, grow. In summer, shine. In autumn, let go. In winter, rest.\ - Pay attention to the element of your birth day.
Your innate energy lives there too, not only in your year.\ - Do not compare your speed.
Each element moves in its own way. Water has a wave, Fire a flash, Earth a cycle.\ - Respect balance.
Luck does not tolerate lopsidedness: pull on Qi too greedily and it snaps.
