Wood Monkey 甲申 Month
August 7 09:51-September 7 13:12

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Wood Monkey. 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.

Month: December roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
If you’re going to shape shift now’s your moment. Time to start over. Go over the lessons you’ve learned this year. What would you do and say differently? This is the month to actualize that. Go the extra mile.

Month: January roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Back in charge of the year for now, but you can feel it waning can’t you? This will be somewhat of a relief for the Ox who would prefer not to be so, ahem, prominent. Luckiest this month? Wood Ox.
Hint: Aligning with someone who shares your standards will alleviate the overwhelming feeling of responsibility but you have to trust too.

Month: May roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Strong emotions and worries about the truth make it hard to resolve a disappointing relationship with a parent, teacher or guru. If your Snake is in the day branch, honesty with yourself and those closest to you is crucial this month.

Month: June roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Monkey month puts the Horse in pursuit of a Father or fatherly figure to teach, lead and forgive. Many of the Horse’s ideas about success involve the seduction or capitulation of authority. In the end the Horse is often the first to knock a beloved off of the pedestal. Fickle much?
Hint: What have you learned about that this year?
