Fire Pig 丁亥 Month
November 7th 08:31-December 7th 01:09

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Fire Pig. 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

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Hard time getting the team work started this month. It feels like there’s someone in the way, especially when it comes to creative projects and timely communication. If this is you? Time to fire up your support system. That’s the best way to clash yourself.
Hint: “Disappointing” others > Silence

子 Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
As endings come into view, it looks like an “I told you so” moment for the Rat. Internally you may find these quite satisfying. Externally they tend to transform interaction into competition, retarding the growth of the seeds you have sown with love and care.
Hint: Many paths lead to the same place but some take longer. Let it be.

丑 Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
For the Ox, the Metal Ox year begins now. I say this to remind you to use the solid grip on success you have for the next two months to maximize your endurance for the coming year.
Hint: If you’re not sure what to do with that, focus on health both mental and physical. Attention to grooming.

寅 Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
It’s rare not to find you engaged in obtaining resources, nor to find you assisting an underdog. This month emphasizes your acquisitive side while asking you to use it on behalf of a disadvantaged party.
Hint: You’re going to need a bigger boat.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
An insightful but usually reticent friend is present with an important message to share. It may seem forceful or judgmental on the surface but it’s love that drives the expression; that and the assumption of a common experience. An assumption.
Hint: Hear them out. Could be the turning point you’ve been looking for this year.

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Opportunities for money and success come thick and fast possibly throwing you off of your natural timing. You’ll be moving more quickly than usual or maybe it’s just that you don’t get to spend so much time in your cave of contemplation.
Hint: Perfect timing to get comfortable with the discomfort that comes with success.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
You may have the desire to move house but find that path temporarily blocked. The beginning of a remodel is a stronger possibility, but be careful with that because what you tear down may take quite a bit longer to put back together than you had planned.
Hint: Having several back up plans are a good idea if this is a live issue for you.

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Savor last month’s success because it’s back to slow and steady again. Nay? Like the Snake you will benefit from patience and alternate plans. This month, focus on your work. You can probably get good recognition for it. Don’t push.
Hint: Yes, domestic work is included. Do what the Sheep wants – on purpose.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Sheep will be asked to finish what others have started this month, and you’re kind of used to that aren’t you? In fact, for better or worse that’s played a major role in your success. It’s going to be a good month even though it’s not really the time for big gatherings is it? Sorry about that.
Hint: Pursue what you value. Stay safe.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
That opposition that you’re picking up on? I’d pay attention to that because this month you have the ability to perceive what’s coming well before it arrives. If you look up from your work, that is.
Hint: Seriously, you’ve got a lot to do. Don’t promise more than you can deliver. Plan.

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
Like the Monkey, you’ve got a lot to do. You like to turn things around in one day when you can and this month will favor that kind of attention span. For best results stay warm and dry.
Hint: Calculate your schedule so as to avoid becoming exhausted.

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly. If you’re near the beginning or end ask.
In the Pig month, the Dog often meets up with old friends. The kind you might not see for 11 months but when you get together again it’s like you just saw each other yesterday. This is still possible – from a safe distance.
Hint: Sometimes giving protection means letting someone know you still care.

Tuesday November 3rd 2020 is almost here. We all want to know what’s going to happen.

I already missed my chance to forecast the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett whose Ba Zi immediately gives away that in terms of her work/job, 2021 is probably the most significant year ever. I chickened out.

As Amy Coney Barrett was born in a Water Rat year (1972) it’s hard to ignore that the Ingratitude Penalty is built into her maiden name Coney, which is another name for rabbit. The Ingratitude Penalty between Rat and Rabbit has to do with intergenerational values that are shared or not, and how that is perceived by each party.

The Rabbit branch in a Ba Zi sometimes signifies a Mother. Being the oldest and a daughter in a family with seven children, I expect Amy may still take issue with hers. This might have to do with her mother’s work outside the home. I would go so far as to guess Amy was born in the Rabbit hour (5-7am). That might explain a lot. Maybe she’ll have a change of heart in 2023.

Apparently I’m still trying to distract from what I’m writing about here. I’m a little nervous but it’s now or never if I want to forecast the election.

2020 US Presidential Election

First of all, don’t expect a quick resolution. I don’t think you need to be a diviner to pick up on that. It’s going to be messy.

What I do know is that every Qi Men Dun Jia pan I’ve drafted around the question of the 2020 Presidential election since early 2019 has indicated we will have a woman for President in 2021. I have to admit I kind of gave up on my interpretation once Elizabeth Warren dropped out. I think that was a big mistake – me being led astray by what I wanted to happen instead of considering how it could happen that a woman would be the “winner”. Sometimes I give up too easily.

Simply looking at the history of US Presidential elections in a Metal Rat year like 2020 (1840, 1900, 1960) it seems pretty clear that whoever is elected is probably not going to remain in office for a full term. If you don’t know what I mean, I’m referring to the pattern you can see with William Henry Harrison, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy.

So what’s my point here? Since we’re looking at similar cycles in time, we can probably expect some iteration of what came before, and of course, the character of the VP who succeeds is very important too.

10th US President
John Tyler, who succeeded Harrison, set the precedent for how we handle the death of a sitting President. Harrison was the first President to die in office. John Tyler’s actions paved the way for the 25th amendment which deals with exactly this situation. Being a Constructionist and believer in Manifest Destiny, Tyler rushed to take the oath and assume full Presidential powers before a potential Constitutional crisis could occur.

26th US President
It was Teddy Roosevelt who took over for McKinley. We mostly know Teddy Roosevelt for his work of establishing the National Parks. He is also known for the Three Cs: Conservation of Natural Resources, Control of Corporations, Consumer Protection. Teddy Roosevelt’s agenda is interesting and desirable to me as a possible outcome. His Square Deal sounds made to order for 2021. Roosevelt was a proponent of changing the rules of commerce to equalize opportunity and reward – to include a wider range of recipients and beneficiaries. Teddy had a concern about “the representatives of predatory wealth”. Sound familiar?

36th US President
Lyndon B. Johnson, successor of JFK, having already been involved in the passing of the Civil Rights Act, was hoping for a “Great Society”. To build it, he was looking to support further civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, education, the arts, urban and rural development, and public services. LBJ waged a “War on Poverty” by helping millions of Americans rise above the poverty line. He worked to ban racial discrimination in the housing market and even backed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 to encourage and welcome immigrants from non-European countries. All of his domestic policy work is overshadowed, in some circles, by his escalation of American participation in the Viet Nam war. There’s no perfect President. We already know that.

Now it’s 2020. Who will be the 46th US President? I like to frame the question that way if you get my drift.

What if I actually interpreted my QMDJ pans correctly and our first woman President comes into office in 2021? That would be Kamala Harris. Based on her Ba Zi, I think she may take office in the Sheep month (July 7th-August 7th). Kamala’s Ba Zi indicates that an Ox year could be the start of something big, but not until July. I’d say Kamala’s current Da Yun (Big Fate) supports that right now, but I don’t see her being elected in 2024.

Simply based on her year pillar Wood Dragon, it’s easy to understand why so many have the impression of her as a powerful person who might be into power for power’s sake. On the plus side, her power is real. Her job is based on it. The only person that can get in Kamala Harris’ way is Kamala Harris. It remains to be seen what she has learned over the years. I’ll just leave that there.

If I’m wrong about the outcome of the election, I’ll learn from that. If I’m right, watch for further analysis of Kamala Harris’ Ba Zi. Until then, I wish you love and peace.
