Wood Monkey 甲申 Month
August 7th 13:51-September 7th 16:52
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 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.

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 Ox may have a new boss, as well as a load of work to do. Plan for short, intense efforts. The “work” may relate to family too. Be in the moment.
