Water Horse 壬午 Month
June 5th 13:49-July 6 23:46

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Water Horse. 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

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Billy, don’t be a Nero. Don’t be a fool with your life. Seriously though. you made it this far. Stay the course. If you’re afraid, say something instead of bolting in the wrong direction. Don’t blow it at what could be the finish line for all.
Hint: You’re farther ahead than you think.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Expect a call from someone who is on the rebound from a difficult experience. You’re sweet to offer comfort. The question is: What’s in it for you? You’ll want to be clear with yourself about that from the start. It may change your mind. Or not.
Hint: My question is sincere, not a value judgment.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Start something that you want to last. Call in debts and favors. If last month was problematic for your reputation this month you make repairs. Don’t let anything force you to rush your elegant work.
Hint: As you know, finding the right words will get you whatever you want.

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Good month for a doctor visit – the routine kind. I’m not predicting a disaster. If you’ve got a habit you want to break this month you have an advantage. You’ll be attracting the modern, inclusive equivalent of “gentleman callers” so get a haircut if you can. I know you like that.
Hint: Charm your way in. Yes, you can.

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Pretty good month for the Dog. Set up a new home office. Set up a new home. Start a new health or exercise regimen. Do things that strengthen and promote relationship. Great ideas are in the air and you’re on the scent.
Hint: Only stubbornness can hinder you.

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
There are days this month that may assist with quick bursts of achievement. Paradoxically, those will be Snake days. If you want a short-term job you can find one.
Hint: A clash can improve health when you let it.

子 Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Whatever you’ve dished out this year is coming back around now, but I know you’ve been more careful with your words than usual. You may find you have issues with people cutting the line. Let them reap what they will.
Hint: This isn’t the month to remind anyone that you are the boss. Even though you kind of are.

丑 Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Horse month brings a harm but it’s one that makes you stronger in the end. This is a good month to take time off and get up to date with where you are emotionally as well as with physical health. Plenty of uncertainty. It’s hard to be in charge all the time.
Hint: Take a break. Hydrotherapy might be great if it’s safe. Get up to date on that too if it interests you.

寅 Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Here in the space between the Snake and the Monkey it’s time to have some fun! It’s going to require some creativity, but that won’t be a problem for you. Your favorite kind of ideas (ahead of their time) are the ones to follow. I know you’ll follow precautions…so just do it.
Hint: Come down from your observation point and be seen. You’re the one to watch this month.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
If you’re considering a career in the world of woo woo, it’s time to commit to a course of esoteric studies. You are often aware of what others are feeling. This month you may be bordering on psychic.
Hint: The next two months are quite supportive for starting a new practice.

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
The month brings a brief opening to build your reputation. You and the Horse have a surprising mutual support relationship that benefits both parties. Share thoughts. Supporters call attention to your work.
Hint: Suffer being understood.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Not a bad month, but it’s not time to start anything new. Take some time off if possible. If you must work make a point of spreading the word about what you’ve been doing and what you’re planning to do next. That’ll pay off.
Hint: Avoid risk. Count blessings.

The coming Water Horse month starts Friday afternoon. That’s June 5th. The Full Moon arrives that day along with a penumbral lunar eclipse. June 6th suggests hoped for but unexpected good news. My calendar tells me this month is going to be better than the Snake month for sure. There are many more good days for everyone.

Having said that, I want to tell you now that June 21st, the summer solstice, is probably the most difficult day of the month. There’s a solar eclipse that day. It’s a Remove Day and it carries tendencies of self harm, of going along to get along and the damage inflicted.

If you’re following the Chinese calendar, it’s the day before the solstice sets the stage. That’s the 20th which is called a 4 Separating Day. Some masters think you can get rid of those who are harassing you on Separating days. On the west coast of the United States, the New Moon at 23:41 is close to the timing of the solar eclipse. Being a Wood Horse day, it’s also called a Year Breaker. In spite of these portents it’s still rated as a pretty good day. The day matches the Wood Horse pillar in Trump’s Ba Zi which is key as to how the chart functions.

One way to interpret these omens is that there are multiple big events about to go down quickly. This is scary but not necessarily negative. There’s a new start for women where there’s an ending for men. I’m curious to see what will happen. Clearly something or someone is trying to get out attention. Could this be our mandate of heaven? Can we finally shift the balance of power?

It’s a Fire Rat day as I write this. In Ba Zi the relationship of the Fire Rat and the Water Horse is called Fan Yin; a clash from top to bottom. I know we can all feel that. It’s hard to write these words without weeping because my yearning for the finish line is so strong.

This may be true for all Horses but I think for the Water Horse there’s often a risk around endings. That applies to the Water Horse month too. Can we make it a finish line for sheltering in place? Can we make it a finish line for the misuse of power? It’s the finish line where the Horse’s most embarrassing mistakes often happen; where you’ve already won the race but… A Horse problem could be that without crossing the finish line the race never ends. A Horse may cultivate that kind of indecision.

The Lap Yum for this month, which is a phrase that summarizes the Water Horse, is Willow Tree. Willow Tree implies tears which could be a result of either a helpful wake up call or a disappointment. I think these are the tears and sadness that sometimes accompany the most important insights about ourselves. Could be tears of anger or embarrassment too. You can make a choice about this. Make it into something you want.

A clash of Water and Fire is filled with brilliant and progressive ideas if the balance of power is right. When the ideas can be bridged by the Wood element, it becomes a self sustaining system for the Horse. That’s joy.

How can you be part of the revolution? Speak softly and carry a big stick. Let’s say the big stick is kindness; the kindness that is the very least that those of us who are white or privileged can give at this moment in time.

Kindness isn’t necessarily being nice. On the yin side kindness is actively making space for others to thrive. Perhaps the yang side goes so far as to shelter and defend that space. Kindness is knowing when you have enough and someone else doesn’t, and that you are not diminished by foregoing or deferring. The smallest kindness might be simply getting the hell out of the way: your own or another’s.

The challenges of the coming month are both knowing when to quit and knowing when to step on the accelerator. The Water Horse carries a lot of North vs South stuff as does the USA, and yes I’m thinking slavery is part of that. One possible meaning of the Water Horse pillar is “sitting on or controlling the money”. That applies too.

This Water Horse month says it’s time to face up to the embarrassing facts about racism and who sits on the money. If we want change we will need to choose it. That’s a movement. If you’re looking for a simple solution, you can use the Wood element as a bridge. Make space for all. Protect and shelter the space. That’s kindness.
