[TOP4 Ox: Wealth energy is explodingly prosperous, red food invites good luck]
People born in the Year of the Ox have abundant financial water recently, and their wealth energy is quite prosperous. In Teacher Xiao Meng's eyes, their windfall luck has the opportunity to be blessed.
Teacher Xiao Meng suggests that if Ox people want to buy a lottery ticket to try their luck, they might as well close their eyes before placing a bet, meditate on red flowers or dragon fruit, or eat some red food before heading to the betting station to buy a ticket.
Using red imagery to add a good mood for themselves also symbolizes attracting prosperous financial fortune, which might just welcome unexpected good things.
[TOP3 Monkey: Windfall luck soars, eating eggs opens the treasury]
The windfall luck of people born in the Year of the Monkey is viewed favorably recently. Teacher Xiao Meng described that their wealth luck has the opportunity to soar. If they want to add good luck for themselves, they might as well start from their daily diet.
He suggests that Monkey people can eat a sunny-side-up egg or a white boiled egg before placing a bet, because in his lucky-enhancement theory, Venus is connected to the color of egg whites. By eating eggs, it symbolizes opening the treasury and allowing wealth energy to continuously accumulate.
For Monkey people, this simple and easy-to-prepare lucky method can be treated as a small ritual to bring good fortune.

Whether it is a golden top or an outfit with golden elements, they can serve as lucky symbols to boost a good mood, allowing themselves to welcome a new day with full confidence.
[TOP1 Pig: Wins the crown for a prosperous treasury, 3 straws paired with a red envelope to attract wealth]
The champion of this windfall luck ranking is none other than people born in the Year of the Pig! Teacher Xiao Meng pointed out that Pig people's treasure treasury is quite prosperous recently. If they want to add financial energy for themselves, they can try a special red envelope wealth-attracting method.
Teacher Xiao Meng suggests that Pig people prepare a red envelope before placing a bet, draw 3 stars on it, and then put 3 straws inside. This symbolizes absorbing a large amount of financial fire into the treasury through the red energy of the straws and the red envelope, bringing prosperous financial fortune to themselves.
In addition to the red envelope luck-enhancing method, Teacher Xiao Meng also revealed the lucky God of Wealth direction for Pig people, pointing out that this time the God of Wealth direction falls in the "southwest." It is recommended to look for a betting station in the southwest of one's home or office and buy a lottery ticket with a relaxed mindset to try their luck.
However, the lottery draw results still depend on random probability. Zodiac rankings, colors, foods, and wealth-attracting rituals cannot increase the actual winning rate. If the public wants to participate, they should still act within their means and avoid excessive betting.

It also emphasized that installation must be done within three days after receipt. The kitchen must be equipped with a constant-temperature type, and the corridors of large living rooms must be equipped with photoelectric types. For daily maintenance, follow the "press, wipe, and replace" formula.
