How it's used
Focuses specifically on the trajectory or trend of one's luck over a defined period, such as a year or a month. It is frequently used in the context of horoscopes, feng shui, or general life advice. Unlike the broader term 運氣 which refers to luck itself, this implies a sense of progression or a forecast.
