Feng Shui analysis and advice
Regarding the five elements:The day of Ất Hợi (乙亥) has the Earth Branch generating the Heavenly Stem (Water generates Wood), considered an auspicious day. However, because it belongs to the Fire element, those born in the years of Kỷ Tỵ and Tân Tỵ should be more cautious in transactions or travel. Conversely, those born in the years of Quý Dậu and Ất Mùi have no major concerns as their birth elements are compatible.

- On Duty:Meaning to close or cover. Therefore, this day is very good for building walls, installing doors, repairing houses, or treating illnesses.
- Sao Khue (Khue Moc Lang):One of the stars in the Twenty-Eight Constellations, it has a harmonious nature, favorable for studying and seeking fame, but should be avoided for large business openings or funerals.

To receive positive energy, you can refer to the following directions for your journey:
- God of Joy:Northwest direction (welcoming joy).
- God of Wealth:Southeast direction (to welcome wealth and good fortune).
