Fire Rat 丙子 Month
December 6th 23:17-January 5th 10:33

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Fire 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 your natal chart works, or what to expect in 2025, you can book a reading here.

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.
Understandably, Rats have their minds on their money and their money on their minds. Open your perspective. Actions this month underlie the patterns you’re setting for the Year of the Wood Snake.
Hint: I know you want 2025 to be about more than money.

丑 Ox
Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033
Month: January roughly.
Funny time of year for such productivity from the Ox. Ideas come from the sky and the rewards are there for you on earth. Nothing in your way at the moment.
Hint: You’d think a new elemental phase is imminent!

寅 Tiger
Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034
Month: February roughly.
This month Tigers accept resources: offers, proposals, backing and endorsements. There’s a demand for your long term work – and it will be demanding but you’re a Tiger.
Hint: If you’re signing up or signing on, get a Rat to go over the paperwork too.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2035
Month: March roughly.
It’s time for the annual questioning of the ancestors’ intentions towards you. Or maybe that feels less important now? Let hope spring anew.
Hint: Seek definition and expression to get a head start on the year. Hiding isn’t it.

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
Back in the flow now, Dragons realize it’s been over a year of tremors and aftershocks. The biggest changes have happened, let the rest ripple out and settle.
Hint: Direct your attention outward.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
For the Snake, acknowledging the truth is a way of taking care of yourself. Transform darkness into new ideas now.
Hint: You might think it’s the truth that makes things worse, but maybe it’s you avoiding it.

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
When you don’t want others to know your feelings, but you’re not good at hiding them, do you really not want them to know? In a Rat month, people might perceive the Horse as looking for a fight.
Hint: Are you? Talk it out instead.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
Destruction is nearby but not yours. Sheep may be called in as proxy in a conflict where they are not directly present or involved. Commit to family alliances.
Hint: This might not feel safe.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Monkeys get what they want in the Rat month. Naturally, there is some stress that accompanies these new developments. If it gets in your head, let it come out of your hands. Be productive.
Hint: Yang Metal likes to choose the hard things right?

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
Roosters: tap into the zeitgeist. Come out of the past and get acquainted with current events. Learn a new word that the kids use. Let people shock you, astonish you and make you laugh.
Hint: Take it all in. Pay attention. Talk about it.

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Follow your optimism. Wrap up the old. With all the cracks the year created in your life, is there one you might slip through to another dimension? Is it time for something new?
Hint: Can you be your own boss now?

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Month: November roughly.
Deep diving into emotions yet needing to focus on financial matters … how might these things be related to your patterns? The things we don’t enjoy are part of life too.
Hint: When we reject one feeling, eventually the rejection extends to all the feelings.
