Not All Lucky Bracelets Are Meant for You – How to Find the Right One

Why Your Lucky Bracelet Might Not Be Working – A Taoist View on Energy, Compatibility, and Quiet Karmas

A young woman from Japan once contacted me through a mutual friend.

She had bought a green phantom quartz bracelet—said to attract wealth—after consulting someone who told her she was a Fire person. Green phantom belongs to the Wood element, and Wood strengthens Fire, so it sounded like a perfect match.

She had faith.

But weeks passed. Instead of financial luck, she found herself locked in conflict with a colleague, which ended up affecting her chance at promotion. She was disheartened.

Due to the language barrier, I only understood parts of her message. She also mentioned relationship issues, but I let that pass.

Instead, I asked for her full Bazi.

🔥 A Classic Case of “Strong Fire, Wrong Crystal”

Just as I expected, her chart revealed she was indeed Fire, but her Fire was strong. Very strong. Her favorable elements were Metal and Water—not Wood.

对她来说，佩戴像绿色幽灵这样的木系宝石，无异于火上浇油，加剧了她的情绪反应，扰乱了她的能量场，甚至很可能加剧了她内心的紧张。

Even more curiously, while checking her chart, I noticed signs suggesting she had been unfaithful in her relationship earlier this year.

These things are always delicate.

When I tell men such things, they tend to admire the accuracy. With women, even when I’m right, they usually deny it. Not out of dishonesty—but to preserve dignity.

So I stayed quiet. I spoke only of neutral topics.

💎 The Real Solution: Calm, Not More Fire

I redesigned a bracelet for her using gold sheen obsidian, clear quartz, and some specially prepared metal beads. Not to make her “lucky” in a flashy way—but to stabilize her.

Sometimes, not losing is already a form of gaining.

Cooling the field, calming the mind, and reducing emotional outbursts were more important for her success than simply chasing wealth symbols.

Before sending it out, I asked her one last question:

“Do you plan to marry your boyfriend?”

She said yes.

I then asked:

“If I add a bead to this bracelet that quietly pushes away other men who may desire you—would you still want it?”

She went silent.

Later she replied:

“Will it push my boyfriend away too?”

I said: “That depends entirely on you.”

In the end, she asked me not to include the bead—but to send it separately, along with string and tools to make her own choices.

🐍 Year of the Snake, and the Fires Ahead

She knew it was the Year of the Snake (乙巳), and that next year (丙午) is the Year of the Horse—both strong in Fire.

2025 and 2026 will carry fiery, volatile energy. For those who are already heavy in Fire, or whose charts clash with these years, this may bring conflict, burnout, or emotional disruption—especially in love.

If their Earthly Branches (地支) clash further, relationships could break. This is not superstition—it’s energetic resonance.

💬 The Follow-Up

A few weeks ago, I got an email from her. She said her relationship had improved, and she was planning to visit her boyfriend’s parents.

That was good news.

🧭 Final Thought: Crystals Are Not Magic. They Are Mirrors.

The most important thing when choosing a bracelet is not the price, but the fit.

You need two things:

1. A match between the crystal’s Five Element alignment and your personal Bazi.
2. High enough quality that the crystal carries clear, consistent frequency.

I’m not saying you need the most expensive piece. But it must be yours—energetically aligned and purposefully chosen.

Sometimes, wealth is not about earning more.

Sometimes, it’s about leaking less.
