Metal Rat 庚子 Month
December 7 07:00-January 5 17:46

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Metal 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.
Put your honey where your mouth is. Plant your flag where the empathy you’re looking for already exists rather than trying to conquer where it doesn’t.
Hint: A cycle is ending, time to shift gears.

丑 Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly.
Whatever you meant to begin, or haven’t completed by now, may have to wait until January. How will you feel successful when you won’t change your standards about success? Give it a rest.
Hint: Consider that there might never be enough time for your current model.

寅 Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly.
Notice and acknowledge to yourself what others want from you, and what you want from them, before you decide whether it’s claws in or claws out.
Hint: If you’re feeling anxious, get yourself up to date with your priorities. Stick to them.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
Echoes of 2020 may be loud for you now and that might leave you feeling ill used. This will mostly have to do with the past and the challenges of getting up to date with where you are now.
Hint: What if sometimes no one is right? What if being right is not the point?

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
You’ve been making the choices that support what you want, even when they might compromise your ego. I suggest you keep up the good work! Look for the person who will help you put the final touches on whatever you’re trying to finish.
Hint: Long term outcome is shaped by whatever you choose this month.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
Since even your spontaneity is planned, this is a good month to access it. Be ready to come out when the sun shines. Seek the warmth and light wherever it shows up.
Hint: Look for the window of opportunity.

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Feels like 2020, maybe mostly on the physical level. But it’s not 2020, and now you know you are more durable than you believed. Go with that. The fear is out of proportion to the reality.
Hint: Don’t expect it to be easy or quick, but do expect to meet your own deadlines. No point in trying to get “ahead”.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
Concerns this month have to do with loved ones, their health, and the assistance they might need. That doesn’t get you off the hook for taking care of yourself.
Hint: If you’re not sure how to help, being present will allow you to figure it out. Just keep showing up.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
It’s your DIY ability and what you decide to apply it to that brings your success this month. Go beyond your job. What’s the intangible thing you can fix? Now’s the time.
Hint: Prioritize relationships and communication. Talk.

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
Likely to be on the receiving end of a break up of some sort. You’ll want to check the position of this pillar in your BaZi for clues as to what/who that involves. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
Hint: You already know what’s coming if you open to the possibilities.

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
To receive support, stay open. Listening is what will work. You may find that normally baffling people suddenly become helpful and uplifting. Extend hospitality.
Hint: Assist travelers and immigrants.

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly.
Take a rest now. This could be your last chance to take some real time off until around this time next year. Prepare yourself to receive the multiple opportunities that are coming.
Hint: : I know you’re going to have doubts about that this month too. Stop it.
