Metal Snake 辛巳 Month
May 5th 09:08-June 5th 13:49

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Metal Snake. 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 get in touch. Each of the four animals of your BaZi correlates with an aspect of your life.

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

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
It’s all about sincerity and what it will compel you to do. Or not do. It’s okay if your truth is that you don’t know. The world won’t end; just the opposite actually. You’ll be in good company. There are many kinds of sacrifice.
Hint: If you don’t know the facts, don’t fake it.

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Remember there’s a future. A former teacher of mine said regarding the Horse: Don’t let all the chi come out at once. The Metal Snake would like to lure you in and compete at the same time. How do they know your susceptibilities?
Hint: If there’s a hidden price you may have to pay it next month. Look before leaping.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Someone is looking for a new place to hide out with you. Set an end date on it because it might get too crowded – even for you. When your principles are questioned it might be time to review them. Keep up to date with yourself. How have you changed?
Hint: Craving innocence is lovely. Craven innocence kills by proxy.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Feeling the urge to break free of something painful in your past? Are you moving house? If you’re not sharing your plans about that, ask yourself what you are trying to get out of it. Is it realistic? Don’t miss out on the experience but be aware of what you’re getting into.
Hint: Listen to those you trust. They want you to graduate as much as you do.

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Roosters hit a peak that comes with some special privileges this year. Identify areas where you might need an assist and make a plan now. Use that good luck in case you need it later. Figure out who is in charge of things you might need. That will save you some time.
Hint: Planning is paramount.

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
The Fire of the Snake should be supportive for the Earth of Dog but there are many subtleties in relationships – even amongst the Wu Xing. In fact, this month, the Dog’s knowledge may be compromised by a lack of discernment regarding information from advisors.
Hint: Stay hydrated. It may be best to let instinct and emotion be your guides. Return to first principles.

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Accusations flying? If you need a place to stay, team up with the Sheep and blend in. For both parties this may be the best way to spend the summer. Some friendships are dictated by timing. Why not? Nothing happens without a clash.
Hint: Try strategic withdrawal. I’m not talking about birth control. You’re too creative to risk that this month.

子 Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Heard it from a friend who heard it on the radio? On television? On social media? Information wants to be free and you want to help with that. Be clear about the source and verification of your information. I know you don’t want to be spreading fear. Caution maybe but not fear.
Hint: Being a witness is not the same as being the troubadour.

丑 Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Some would say your advantage this year is luck. Some would say it’s unfair. What’s relevant is what you do with it. Look up from your workload for a moment with compassion instead of judgment. Naiveté isn’t much help when dishonesty might be your trigger.
Hint: Give with intention to someone who is struggling. Whether or not it’s “real” isn’t going to diminish you.

寅 Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Tigers will likely be the first to spot the latest round of spin this month. This year Tigers are feeling the Kassandra effect because others are slower to pick up the relevant patterns. Kind of lonely I know but better times are coming next month. Hang in there.
Hint: Spread your message. Fight without putting yourself at physical risk. We need you.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Water on one side, Fire on the other. With the Snake in charge this month, what’s a Rabbit to do? Be aware of your audience. There’s a time and place to speak up to established power but not this month. Make alliances with the like minded. Action comes later.
Hint: Conflicts may be motivated by competition and/or jealousy. Theirs or yours?

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
The Dragon doesn’t want an apprentice but the Snake is always there as the yin to your yang. You may worry about their influence on your reputation but the right Snake, chosen carefully, could actually enhance it. Will you make the investment of trust required?
Hint: Swallow your pride and do some soul searching if you want that. This won’t work without your attention.
