Wood Rat 甲子 Month
December 7th 18:38-January 6th 05:11

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

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

子 Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly.
It’s your month to wield the big foam finger. Wave it because your family, given or chosen, is number 1 for you! Show up for your descendants, students, ancestors, friends, parents, kids.
Hint: Plant a metaphorical tree that will bear fruit for the generations above and below you.

丑 Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly.
Funny timing when it’s an aftermath for you now. Maybe you feel like events are out of order. Maybe they are exactly in the order they were meant to be.
Hint: You’ll feel better if you can let it go. What can you throw overboard? Actively seek the Water.

寅 Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly.
It’s not what you know as much as what you’re going to do with it. There’s a focus on your actions this month. Don’t kid yourself that your behavior will go unnoticed. Make this an asset.
Hint: Model what you want to be recognized for.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
Even when it makes sense for them to do so, some people are not going to endorse you. I’m hoping that this year you’ve learned to do that for yourself.
Hint: Keep practicing.

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
This is a special place for the Dragon to start 2024. How would you like to show us your power? Consult strategists. What you want to succeed at is right next to you.
Hint: Relationships (or lack of them) tend to magnify what we don’t want to acknowledge.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
In this peak of Water season the Snake has the power to begin things that need Fire. It comes in short bursts but can shape the entire year. You might also turn to Water at a moment’s notice.
Hint: Make plans knowing they might change at the last minute.

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
The Wood Rat clashes you but it also provides the best opportunities of all the Rats. The Rat tends to demand you pay attention to the present. Maybe you’re clashed because you don’t prefer that.
Hint: Obviously you’re not crazy. There is something important asking for your attention.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
If you have a sense that danger is around you, you’ll want to know you’re both right AND safe. Stay that way by protecting yourself from illness.
Hint: As I said last month, stick to first principles and common sense.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Most Monkeys will find something to accomplish or complete this month, possibly bringing some kind of emotional resolution. Feelings evoke the actions that permit learning.
Hint: Resolution is not the same as an ending and that’s okay.

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
The Rooster is extra intuitive this month. Combine that with your job of sounding the alarm and you might find out what it was like to be Cassandra. Instead, be selective about your audience.
Hint: You don’t have to tell everyone everything. What would be the point?

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Let yourself experience the ups as well as the downs. Some doors are open. Good time to update your resume if you haven’t done that lately. What would happen if you got knocked out of your rut?
Hint: All will be well if you are prepared to change. It’s that simple.

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly.
In case you’re feeling invisible, what do you do when you want to be perceived as you see others are? Those who want to help you may need an explicit ask. You might put it in writing.
Hint: Not talking is a communication but it tends not to land in a way that can help you.
