There is quite a lot of low-hanging fruit, but you’ll have to go to the trouble of picking it yourself. You have the Heavenly Virtue star (天德星) with you, so make the most of this powerful friend. You also have the Curly Tongue star (捲舌星) camping out in your lounge room, so either order in Sichuan food or be careful of words spoken behind your back - either way take appropriate measures.

Visit the doctor, even if you don’t need to. No bad health omens loom large but forewarned is the best place to be, so if you’ve been putting off a check-up, now’s the time to get it done.

Great opportunities for you as the Jade Hall star (玉堂星) comes a-wandering. Use that energy to plan a little more long term than you may be inclined.

Want to get ahead? Share your peanuts. We kid you not. Sure it’s a good year for monkeying around, but you will not be the only ape in town. A little more cooperation and a hand down from someone higher up might see you rising further than you anticipated. Be accommodating and if need be ask for help - these qualities will make the best of your chances.

The mountain rests on the earth: the image of splitting apart. Those above can ensure their position only by giving generously to those below.
Nine at the top means there is a large fruit still uneaten. The superior man receives a carriage. The house of the inferior man is split apart.
The warning is clear enough: humans were not meant to live inside large pieces of fruit. No matter how much you like the tropics, that house will soon split apart. If you just concentrate on eating the fruit, then you’ll discover opportunities to giving generously to those below are increased by an exponential factor.
