October 8 16:53-November 7 20:11

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Metal Dog. To get the most out of the fortunes you’ll want to know all four of your pillars which are based on your birth date and time.

If you don’t know them just ask! Each of the four animals of your BaZi correlates with an aspect of your life.

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.

Month: October roughly.
Set up for new domestic situations. If you’ve been living a spartan life, look for ways to create comfort and coziness for yourself. Find out that you benefit from it. You can be ready for partnership without seeking it.

Month: November roughly.
This is the part where you let go of things you’ve been holding onto; things you embraced before you were as clear as you are now about where you’d like to go. Make space for new productions.

Month: December roughly.
Almost anything you do this month will bring a good return. Why not apply that to family relationships? Let them find out that you’re going to keep showing up even if it’s awkward.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
Rabbits are encouraged to be seen. It’s safe and you’re protected. Someone wants to provide short term training and promotion. Why not?! This probably applies to the coming year.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025

Month: June roughly.
A quick getaway is possible with the help of the Dog; trip or escape. Best month of the year for many Horses so take the dare! Be the “front man”. Go against your nature and start some kind of group.
Hint: Make money, but don’t make it all about money.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
Ride the coattails of a friend’s success or align with frenemies against a common foe? Probably both if you’ve been paying attention. A potential bully may want to exclude you. Fuhgeddaboutit.
Hint: Protect yourself by helping others like you. Spread your Earth.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
The Dog is your bridge to a temporary alliance of groups. This is a special time to burnish your skills and reputation if you are up to the timing; it’s not a sustained energy. Show your stuff. Be social.
Hint: Transitional times are endings AND beginnings.

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029

Feels like time for a time out but it’s hard to keep from being noticed. Maybe it’s because you feel irritated by this questioning of your loyalty? Don’t think you can hide it. Talk with trusted friends if you don’t want it to grow.
Hint: Not a bad idea to stay under the radar anyway.
