This tells you how is your luck for the each periods. There is a luck pillar for a 10-year period, 5-year period, 1-year period and so on.

Normally, we are concerned a lot with the 10-year, 5-year and 1-year luck period.

10-year Luck (Big Luck Period)

This 10-year luck period shows your luck which is represented by the Seasonal Luck Direction. This period is also known as your Big Luck Period.

Seasonal Luck Direction

This is the season which is present in this 10-year period affects your luck. And this season which is present last for a duration of 10 years.

If this period is good for you, generally you will enjoy an auspicious period for this entire period. Otherwise, you will not be that lucky this period.

You can also make use of this to aid you whenever you intend to travel. Travelling along the directions of your favourable seasonal direction brings you additional luck. 

5-year Luck (Lesser Luck)

This is considered your lesser luck period. Analysis of your luck period during the each of the 5-year period of the Big Luck.

This normally tells you if this period is good or bad for you. There are three levels of break-down:-

• Auspicious / Very Auspicious
• Mixed-Blessing
• Inauspicious / Very Inauspicious

Generally, if it is auspicious you will find that there would not be much problems in that period. On the contrary, you will find that something good should happen in this period, eg a smooth career.

If it is Mixed-Blessing, it means that you will get something good say for example a birth of a new baby. At the same time something not good will also happen, such as maybe losing your job.

If it is inausipicious, generally something bad would happen, such as you find that this period is very tough or that you meet with some misfortune.

Those are just some guides. Remember that it is only a 5-year period, so there are some limitations to the accuracy of its prediction. But it is taken as a whole 5-year in general with other things in your environment not taken into consideration.

1-year Luck (Annual Luck)

This is your annual luck, which is determined by the changes in the year. It does have a major influence in determining your luck for the year. For example, if your Big Luck and Lesser Luck says that a period is good for you, but during that Annual Luck, it shows an inauspicious. 

This would then mean that you will encounter some difficulties during this period. If this period is auspicious, then you should enjoy a good year.

For the time being ignore the other additional analysis. They will be explained in detailed in their respective sections.

So how am I going to know which analysis to look at?

1. 10-year (Big Luck)

The 10-year seasonal luck is of a lesser importance. However, what you can understand from that is whether the current direction which the period falls under is good or bad for you.

Normally, by looking at the entire 80-year luck period, if you have very little inauspicious Seasonal Luck, it means that your life is generally pretty good. Otherwise, it means that you will have many ups and downs along your life.

2. 5-year (Lesser Luck)

This is more accurate and thus is a more important details to look at. This is because there are clashes, symbolic stars which occurs during this 5-year period. That affects the entire stretch of time.

Normally, if it is inauspicious, you will then make use of solutions recommended by the report to reduce the influence of your environment to bring your Qi back into balance.

An inauspicious 5-year period, means that you will not enjoy a favourable period for the entire 5-year period. Even if the 1-year period in the period is good, it simply means that that is a better period among the 5-year period.

During each Lesser Luck period, a 10-deity and a symbolic stars is in power. Whether it is good or not depends on what you lack in your life.

Say for example if you lack water, and this year the 10-deity is water, it would bring you additional luck by providing you with the element which you lack.

3. 1-year (Annual Luck)

This is important when you intend to enhance yourself. This is the types of stars and deities which guides the current year. It is important because it depends what you will be encountering for the year.
