REMOVE DAY （除日）.
There are days when we wish for some things to just go away, situations to end, be rid of or simply disappear. The act of removing things out of our lives involves more than careful planning, our best efforts, a good strategy and perfect execution. The final nail could be just the time to do it. An appropriate day such that the stars are synchronised so that stale energies make way for new life.
The image of a REMOVE DAY is one that makes way for renewal. Cleansing and getting rid of unwanted things in life are common usage for this day.
More technically, REMOVE DAY comes with the Sun Star（太陽）, the primary source of all Yang energies which overcomes all that are Yin which represents darkness, the passive and the shadows. Coupled with the Relief God（解神）who provides solutions to problems and recurring issues in life, this day forms the basis as the prime choice when it comes to our prupose of a new start and a beginning towards a better life altogether.
What could it be that renders us to banish its exixtence ?
As in most things in life, these are the main issues.
It's Personal. It could be a personal relationship with another. Perhaps you have been finding an opportunity to free yourself from an abusive partner. It could also be a case of a business partner gone wrong. Maybe you have been waiting for an appropriate time to let go of your underperforming and unrepentant team member.
Things we do and our bad habits. You know you need to get off that couch and start exercising. It's common to be in our comfort zone and there are times when conscience gets the better of us. If it is the case of a strong mind with a weak flesh, using a Remove Day to stay away from snacks and sugar may prove effective.
Where's the Money ? Not everyone is financially savvy. But it is a personal responsibility to manage our own finances and savings. 2021 is unique. It's a year of recovery for what was lost time, lost opportunities, lost profits and lost savings. How do you start and perhaps find some motivations to stay in positive territories and healthy bank balances ? Clear your debts, or at least draw them down, before the Chinese New Year. In cash or in kind to return a favour done for you.
I don't have a choice. Yes, You do. People who feel controlled, contrived and manipulated have the freedom to move forward. The problem is your own fear within you. It's the fear of failure that is stopping you from achieving the things you deserve in life. Have you been under the pressure and unreasonable bahaviour of your boss, superior or supervisor ? Choose a Remove Day to tell them to stop. Sure, you may not be able reason out some people but let this offer you enough inspiration and courage to seek alternatives and get lucky with another job, an additional income or new channels of opportunities.
There is no support. Support means capital. Financial, Human and Emotional capital. Many of these capitals are derived from your perosnal intelligence, capacity and attitude towards life. Resources are best optimised when they are self created and self preserving. Get rid of the idea that you need help from others (although it is not a bad thing) to succeed in life. A Remove Day is a day of resolution (has your New Year Resolution fizzled out of steam ?) to remind yourself that 2021 is a year of discovery waiting for you to dig up that jewel buried underground.
How and where do you find such days ? They are found in the simple reference in the Chinese Almanac (eBook) which can be purchased on this website.
