Earth Rat 戊子 Month
December 7th 05:04 – January 5th 16:23
Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Earth Rat. To get the most out of the fortunes you’ll want to know all four of your pillars which are based on your birth year, month, day and time.
If you don’t know your Four Pillars, just ask! Each of the four animals of your BaZi correlates with an aspect of your life. Start with that interpretation.
If you’d like to know more about how bazi works, take a class with me. If you want to know more about your own bazi, book a reading here. You can book a reading for 2026 now.
Pillars and Fortunes
Year Pillar
Has to do with your physical body and what you do with it, ancestors, family traits. In terms of luck the year pillar is said to take the first “hit” of any event, good or bad.
Month Pillar
Relates to career, work environment, training, age mates and peers, siblings, exes and your modus operandi
Day Pillar
Yourself and true partner; your immediate environment and home life.
Hour Pillar
Your innermost self, your children, future, hopes and dreams.
The Fortunes
子 Rat
Years: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032
Month: December roughly.
If it’s hard to find the right words, or to get the words out, you might choose to listen instead. You don’t have to speak to stimulate the revolution.
Hint: Set the tone for 2026 now as much as possible.
丑 Ox
Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033
Month: January roughly.
You may need to secretly shift your direct alliances for a moment due to the revolution. The personal is the driving force of the political and practical.
Hint: Share plans on a need to know basis. Mostly they don’t need to know!
寅 Tiger
Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034
Month: February roughly.
A Rat will bring some professional empowerment for the Tiger. In the revolution this is probably helpful for lawyers and other closers who work with justice related matters.
Hint: It’s personal too. Check in with your parents.
卯 Rabbit
Years: 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2035
Month: March roughly.
Act now and find out you have more influence than usual in this familiar uncomfortable situation. This is how you shape the changes of the revolution.
Hint: Stop going unappreciated.
辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
Here’s your month to develop freely. Don’t worry too much about getting noticed. In the revolution the showing off comes later.
Hint: Work with a small group for more impact.
巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
The Rat offers a few goodies for the Snake who is finally allowed to go back to regular business hours rather than this on demand stuff.
Hint: You’re at the helm for 60 more days of this revolution.
午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Beware of overpromising just because you would like to be able to come through like that. Then again, this is your specialty in the revolution – coming through like that.
Hint: If you’re looking for pain, Life will hurt you. You don’t have to do it to yourself.
未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
The family experience: some bonds are closer than others, we don’t always appreciate each other’s strengths, we might point out each other’s weaknesses. We still share history.
Hint: In the revolution, we honor all these relationships regardless. It works if it’s mutual.
申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Sometimes I think about how many of the Monkey’s achievements arrive in winter and I wonder how that affects others’ perception of them. Does it hold you back in this revolution?
Hint: Seek organization if you want to have fun AND be influential.
酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
There are many words to say, but at this point in the revolution it might be your turn to listen well.
Hint: Serve as a channel if you like.
戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
In case you haven’t awakened yet, in this revolution your friends need your help. Venture out to share your warmth. Sometimes that is all that is needed.
Hint: Go home early.
亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Month: November roughly.
Lay low if you want to. This year of revolution has been exhausting. I hope you found some reversals in the form of upgrades last month.
Hint: Don’t stop communicating now!
