Water Snake 癸巳 Month
May 5th 19:49-June 5th 23:48

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Water 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 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. Most of the people I work with get a reading at least once a year.

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

Birth Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Birth Month: May roughly.
For better or worse, “they know” what you did last year. Better means reaping benefits, worse means facing the consequences you thought you could avoid. By now, you know which one you’re going to get this year.
Hint: Occult hits different now.

午 Horse

Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Your slow might be someone else’s fast. Sharing the spotlight doesn’t mean someone is in your way. Be careful this month about how quickly you discard, delete or dump.
Hint: You might be doing it too soon.

未 Sheep

Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
Now it’s time for something completely different – or at least new! Collect debts. Schedule important meetings. Do things that enhance your health. Avoid activities that you wouldn’t want to repeat.
Hint: If you want to do more gardening, do more gardening.

申 Monkey

Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Actively promote and seek equity in your relationships. It might be as simple as improving your communication. Stick up for yourself without fighting. You’re not betrayed.
Hint: Old habits may beckon but you can break them.

酉 Rooster

Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
Time to make some alliances, again. Try it, I think you will like it. That’s what you’ll do if you want to continue being invited to the table. You have the power to focus the qi this month.
Hint: Use it for important things.

戌 Dog

Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Opportunities in general and opportunities for alliance come and go quickly this month. Be ready to show up when scheduled or miss out. Start things.
Hint: If possible, avoid tapping into your storage of resources (including money) for now.

亥 Pig

Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Month: November roughly.
There’s some business from 2025 that claims to be unfinished. An accusation? You could reject that energy or you could let yourself accept a little more change when the emotion comes.
Hint: If all else fails, pursue unseriousness and festivities.

子 Rat

Years: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032
Month: December roughly.
Building up to peak clash means things feel uncertain, maybe more so than usual. Plan and prepare. Change your position if you want a new perspective. Pray.
Hint: Take apart old belief systems as needed. What is no longer true for you?

丑 Ox

Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033
Month: January roughly.
With the Snake present you get some of the best rewards. With the Horse present, this may come in the form of relief rather than gain.
Hint: It’s all about family and relationships this month. If you can’t say anything nice…you know the rest.

寅 Tiger

Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034
Month: February roughly.
Acceptance is what provides the chance to get the reward without the penalty. Careful of turning your flame on others except as a petition. Keep your mind open to the unexpected – in a good way.
Hint: You don’t have to take. If you ask it will be given.

卯 Rabbit

Years: 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2035
Month: March roughly.
Do people even know what you do when you’re not taking care of others? Do you? Show off creations, make invitations, organize events. Opportunities are brief.
Hint: What if you made it all about you?

辰 Dragon

Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
Share the news about whatever you’ve been working on. How are your PR materials? Focus on what is accomplished already. It’s not the time to start new things.
Hint: If there’s something you would prefer to bury (a feud?) do it now.
