In today's society, the status of women is increasingly elevated, especially in Hong Kong, where we see many women in high-ranking positions. This is not only a symbol of social progress but also a result of women's efforts in promoting diversity and inclusivity. At the same time, it marks the arrival of the "Lower Yuan Nine Periods," which will bring about various changes worldwide.

"San Yuan Jiu Yun" (Three Cycles and Nine Periods) is an important concept in traditional Chinese metaphysics. There is a cycle every 180 years, which is divided into three 60-year periods. Each 60-year period represents "Upper Yuan, Middle Yuan, and Lower Yuan," and each Yuan has three periods, with each period lasting 20 years, collectively known as the Nine Periods: Upper Yuan Period One, Upper Yuan Period Two, Upper Yuan Period Three, Middle Yuan Period Four, Middle Yuan Period Five, Middle Yuan Period Six, Lower Yuan Period Seven, Lower Yuan Period Eight, and Lower Yuan Period Nine. We have now officially entered the Lower Yuan Nine Periods, which is also the final stage of the Three Cycles and Nine Periods, lasting from 2024 to 2043, and is known as the Period of Nine Purple Li Fire.

The trigram for the Lower Yuan Nine Periods is "Li," which represents fire in the I Ching, symbolizing brightness, beauty, and civilization. Its structure consists of two yang lines on the outside and one yin line on the inside, symbolizing an outwardly strong but inwardly soft nature. This trigram also represents middle-aged women, especially those who are cultured, thoughtful, and assertive.

At the same time, the Five Elements corresponding to the Nine Periods is Fire, symbolizing characteristics such as passion, brightness, technology, and culture. Therefore, women can drive social innovation and progress. With the advancement of the Lower Yuan Nine Periods, women will become more active at all levels in the next 20 years, becoming important drivers of social change.

In Feng Shui, the secret to good fortune for the next 20 years is "Northern Water, Southern Mountains." This is particularly beneficial for southern regions, including Southeast Asia and Australia, where women's participation in the workplace has been increasing year by year, injecting new vitality into the local economic and cultural development. In the Lower Yuan Nine Periods, the Nine Purple Star flies to the south, which is the "Zheng Shen Fang" (positive deity direction). It is advisable to see mountains there, not water. This means that in the southern regions, if there are tall, lush mountains, it can bring stability and prosperity, and attract more people to reside there.

At the same time, seeing water in the north is beneficial for wealth. The north is the "Ling Shen Fang" (spiritual deity direction), where water in decline is considered prosperous. If there is water in the north, it signifies vitality and vigor, with significant development potential. Residing in areas with water in the north offers great career development potential, attracting more resources and opportunities.

Therefore, it can be reflected that under the influence of the Lower Yuan Nine Periods, the power of women is not limited to domestic roles but extends to various aspects of the workplace and society. This change reflects society's re-evaluation of women's abilities and allows more women to utilize their talents in various industries.

The rise of women in the next 20 years is an inevitable trend. As more women enter senior management and political spheres, they are beginning to play important roles in social responsibility, environmental protection, and public welfare. This not only enhances the overall well-being of society but also makes society more prosperous and flourishing.
