Weekly Fortune Opening Your Week with Fortune Morning...Week 2 of September (9.7~9.13)

■ Prologue: To You Starting a New Week

On Monday morning as we begin a new week, each of us steps up to the starting line carrying both anticipation and a touch of pressure. "Will this week go according to plan?", "Will I be able to navigate complicated relationships and work tasks?" These are natural voices of the mind that anyone experiences.

Oriental fortune-telling (命理學) is not superstition that rashly predicts the future, but rather ancient wisdom data that reads the seasonal rhythms and flow of natural energy to find the optimal timing in life. This week is a period when the energy of Metal (金), which prepares for autumn's harvest, grows increasingly deep in the seasonal cycle.

The energy of Metal does not mean reckless expansion of branches, but rather the 'organization and decisiveness' of shedding unnecessary things and solidly building the real core. If you feel uncertainty or impatience right now, it is not a sign that you are going astray, but rather a signal that it is time to catch your breath and retie your shoelaces.

The character for "fortune" (運) uses the character meaning 'to move.' That is, fortune is not predetermined fate, but rather a wave that can be changed entirely depending on what mindset you ride the flow with. Based on the fortune-telling hints that Hye-an brings this week, we hope you will find your own pace and confidently lead the week forward. We sincerely cheer for your week to be filled with results beyond your expectations.
