The Wood Rat Month of 2023

Wood Rat Month ~ December 2023

This timing we are in carries the energy of the beginning of the ongoing pandemic. I probably didn’t need to tell you that. You can feel it right? In many ways, this month marks a starting over point.

Here we are at the beginning of another Cycle of 60 months. If you study Qi Men Dun Jia, you might also note that the Wood Dragon year indicates the beginning of a ten year cycle or decade. If you want to do forecasting with Chinese Astrology, you’ll want to track ALL the time cycles and see how they mesh up. In my mind they are like gears engaging, matching and meshing. Some of the gears are big, such as the 180 year cycle. Some are as small as days and hours. The Cycle of 60 Pillars is always there to guide us.

Of course, this same Cycle of 60 covers individual years too. The last time we had a Wood Rat year was in 1984. The energy of the Wood Rat brings novelty, firsts, and beginnings. People with this pillar in the year are often known for their inventions. Elizabeth Holmes immediately comes to mind, along with a popular astrologer on Twitter. Jimmy Carter, who on his second day in office pardoned Vietnam War “draft dodgers”, was born in a Wood Rat year too.

In this current timing, the inventive nature of the Wood Rat suggests you be very aware of who you are dealing with, especially if your transaction with them involves trust or money. We’re in Period 9 now and it’s hard to tell what’s real isn’t it? One way to get around these issues is to do business locally or with people you’ve been able to trust in the past. Get face to face with people. A video call is better than a phone call. A telephone call is better than messaging or email. Trust your instincts if something feels off. If someone is wanting to sell you something they invented, proceed with caution. Everything you want is available from a safe source but you have to do the work to find it.

If you are attached to returning to the same well because it feels comforting in this time of radical change, I want you to rethink that. For “well” you could substitute any noun that comes up for you in this context. A noun is a person, place or thing. If you find you still want to return to the well, maybe the key is in returning without expectations? Or even better, return to the well with the intent to restore it yourself? Maybe you want to become a working well.

Practical Applications

The sign of the Rat often indicates a talent for strategic planning. We can all use this month for that purpose, but Rats will be most proficient. The Rat is best friends with the Ox who is the executioner of the Rat’s plans. Although it ultimately may be draining for the Ox, or disappointing for the Rat, there is big learning that comes from this relationship.

The most emotionally intelligent Rats will be humbled by the deep sensitivity of the Ox, perhaps to good effect. Oxen will lose some false premises courtesy of the Rat. Consider letting these things happen to you. When it comes to general timings*, the alliance of Rat and Ox is not a long lasting one, so if you have one of these branches and you want that kind of energetic exchange, get to it. Actually, anyone can play with this energy for a limited time. You’ve got two months. When the Tiger arrives in February the window closes.

If you are a yin Earth or yin Wood year or day stem person, this month your Nobleman is present. For Yi people the Nobleman may be a woman, for Ji people it might be a man. This energy of the Nobleman is related to the N location of your home.

Even though this Rat month brings an exclamation point to the Ingratitude Punishment between Rat and Rabbit that we’ve been experiencing all year, those born in a Rabbit month have some special protection that will last into the new year. Maybe it has to do with your work. Yes, someone might be wanting to reciprocate what they see as your disregard, however, you may also have the perspective that things are going more smoothly. Usually this means they are. Both of these things can happen at the same time.

If you have a Horse in your Ba Zi, this month it is clashed by the cold Water of the Rat. Water for a Horse sometimes means fear, but it also carries the possibility of learning how to deal with what challenges you without running away. If it brings anxiety, maybe that is a prompt for you to do better planning. Consider the position of the pillar when you interpret this.

If you happen to be a yang Wood day stem person, get ready for all the eyes that will be on you from now until the end of summer probably.

*Meaning this may not apply to your life’s patterns but applies to this current timing.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

12 Animal Fortunes for the Water Pig Month

Water Pig 癸亥 Month
November 8th 02:00-December 7th 18:38

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Water 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

Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly.
Say what you need to say. There probably isn’t going to be a perfect moment – that means you can do it at any time. You matter more than someone’s inconvenience. I bet your listener feels that way too.
Hint: What I can tell you is, sooner is better. You listen too.

Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly.
I think you could go anywhere you like this month Rat, no barriers, no holds barred. You might be able to rid yourself of anyone or anything. Maybe that’s not your intention?
Hint: Character is revealed in the extremes. Remove penalties you may have imposed.

Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly.
Oxen may be trying to contain the tide of emotions, those of the collective and their own. Timing says the Water is going to flow. No point in resistance for now.
Hint: Learning what to do when you realize you can’t control is a specific kind of success.

Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly.
On the surface, it seems the Pig rarely affects the Tiger as profoundly as the Tiger affects the Pig. In a Pig month, in a Rabbit year, the Tiger learns about relationships and reciprocity.
Hint: Could be a little drama to get your attention.

Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
Maybe this is the calmest month of the year for the Rabbit. Going out on a note of stability I hope. It’s still available. Make plans for things you want in December now.
Hint: Alliances make it so.

Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
It’s time for Dragons to prepare for the first stages of projects that will be more officially sanctioned in December. Everyone else has to catch up with you.
Hint: Show up ready to go.

Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
Time for time out? I’d recommend against travel for the Snake this month, unless it’s to get somewhere warm and bright and stay there for a bit.
Hint: Working by a sunny window is a good substitute this year. Take time off to study/research.

Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Certain Horses will be fired up by this Water Pig, others might feel extinguished. Maybe you made commitments and now they seem like too much? Mid-month might feel better than now.
Hint: Remember that sometimes you’re fragile and sometimes you just feel that way. Either way, you’re going to be okay.

Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
More victories for the Sheep, who will still feel like things are wildly out of control. I guess they are.
Hint: Stick to first principles and common sense.

Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
With your readiness to get back into the flow, it would be kind of you to look out for others who might be where you were – in the stuckness.
Hint: Could it be you’ve learned things that you can use to help them? Teach!

Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
Interesting how Water can serve you. It’s sometimes a drain – other times it enables your success. What will you make of it this month?
Hint: A bridge to new relationships is right there if you’re open to it.

Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
When all the elements are present for you, the energy might be too mixed and confusing. Lots of stop and start.
Hint: Clarity will return. It’s okay if things are slow and clunky for now.

The Fortunes

Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Now while the ground is still steady under your feet it’s time to prepare for 2024. Make plans and back up plans. Tap into your network. If you want to change jobs, look now. Save up.
Hint: How do you want your life to look next year? Start moving the chess pieces now.

Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly.
Friends are here to help you get down the stream where you can start over again. This is probably about domestic stuff and what has blocked you from the kind of housing you would like.
Hint: The miracle can happen when you ask. Be taken seriously.

Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly.
Water challenges Fire. Disappointment challenges truth. Fear challenges joy. This challenge invites the Rat to a partnership that engages the Rabbit. Get misty. Transform if you can.
Hint: Come as you are and allow others to do the same.

Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly.
Don’t be distracted by the little bullies. Ask yourself what you are really worried about. Reason it out and you’ll see concerns shrink to their actual size. You’re more formidable than you realize.
Hint: Let your “enemies” turn on each other and fight it out amongst themselves.

Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022

Stick it to the man. Here’s one last chance to burn some things down Tiger. Bring the justice. Empower the right ones. Crumble the bad guys.
Hint: Who can play with Fire and not get burned?!

Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
If you haven’t already created more equity in your life this year…Even it out. Even it out. Release the hounds if you need to.
Hint: They can’t do that to your body or your babies and get away with it.

Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
Here’s a little reminder of why even Dragons might want to stay humble. Because what you do when you’re at the top comes back to you in times like this. Get knocked off the pedestal now.
Hint: Be the love Dragon.

Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
Elementally Dog and Snake are similar, though perhaps the Snake doesn’t see the Dog as their intellectual equal. Yet every year the Dog brings solid opportunities to the Snake.
Hint: Caution wins the long-term game.

Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026

Rabbit year, Dog month might make a Horse extra competitive regarding relationships. Turn jealousy to growth. You could accomplish almost anything you like for one month.

Month: August roughly.
Wrap up projects. Tend to domestic matters and maintenance. Have you thought about getting a pet? Allow yourself to consider rejoining life as you want it to be.
Hint: You’ve got to tell people what you want if you want them to know. Be straightforward.

Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
The Secret Friend of the Rabbit might have some prejudices about you. Troubles are now at one remove from the obvious but receding. That’s good!
Hint: No need for paranoia when your affairs are in order and you’re well informed.

The Fortunes

Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
To avoid the dreaded self-clash, don’t go silent for too long. You know what happens when you do…maybe you say things you feel compelled to defend.
Hint: I don’t think winning is really what you want. Communicate instead?

Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Big opportunity to make space and make your space safe for the coming year. There won’t always be an obvious marker or a fence at the boundary. Maybe it’s moved.
Hint: You have enough experience now to recognize where the boundary is if you want to.

Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly.
Take advantage of every opportunity to change what might feel like opposition into creativity. Next month it pays off.
Hint: Do what you want to be doing for the rest of 2023.

Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly.
Overflowing with ideas. Turn them into ways you can support your descendants, ancestors or anyone else for whom you have responsibility.
Hint: Appreciate. Restore balance.

Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly.
Smooth progress and output this month for the Ox. You can sense some kind of threat in the distance but don’t let it take away from the present.
Hint: There’s still plenty of time to figure that out.

Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly.
Tigers may benefit by setting things in motion for 2024 now. Your usual channels might be blocked later. Make plans and arrangements for winter.
Hint:True flexibility will bring rewards.

Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
The double Metal of the month means business and is backed by growing energy. A good strategy might be to seek Fire. Wait for the Dog to arrive in October for that.
Hint: Lay low or get lots of attention from “authorities”.

Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
Somebody wants to be your friend, or more than your friend. They want to enlist you in their calculations and magical pursuits. Somebody wants to distract you. They want you to come out and play. They want you to do nothing.
Hint: Do it.

Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
I think Snakes enjoy the “back to school” vibe of the Rooster because they are often good students, researchers and writers. A Snake knows the rules without much coaching.
Hint: Do what you want to succeed at. How about something new?

Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Horses have the opportunity to be either a partner or a boss this month. How about both? Courtesy and courtliness will get you in anywhere you like.
Hint: Don’t try to be the boss of your partner.

Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
When the cardinals are at play, meaning Rooster this time, the Sheep is likely to get caught up in someone else’s drama due to their supporting role.
Hint: I don’t see any lasting results. Phew.

Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
In any given year this is probably the month that Monkeys would benefit from a planned vacation or time off. They need time off due to the time off in August.
Hint: Take some time off if you need it! Communication will make it work.

Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Friends arrive. Is it finally time to play again? I’m declaring that it is – for you. Maybe you’ve been too serious for too long.
Hint: It made sense then, but this is now.

Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
Don’t worry so much about cutting things/people off. Many a Rooster’s dream is to have a henchman but they would probably be better served by a friend with big shoulders.
Hint: It will be hard for them to resist you too.

Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030

12 Animal Fortunes for the Earth Sheep Month

Earth Sheep 己未 Month
July 7 18:10-August 8th 03:16

Particles everywhere.

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Earth Sheep. 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

Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
The Sheep sets new patterns, probably related to politics, domestic arrangements, or close relationships. Could be the completion of things that started last November.
Hint: Selective naïveté is not convincing.

Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Can you feel that you’re getting stronger? I can. Take a look around you for things that might be holding you in a certain place and time. Do you still want to be there?
Hint: Moving on is not finite and yet everything changes. Kind of insulting isn’t it?

Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
The tide is turning. Can you smell it? If there’s something you want to experience more, this is the time to seek it. If you’re too scared to try, that’s on you.
Hint: Did I draw you out with that last line? I hope so because I’m serious.

Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Oddly a time of reckoning. This month even powerful friends may not be able to influence your situation. Maybe you come out looking good anyway.
Hint: It all depends on how you’ve used your authority in the past.

Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030
Month: November roughly.
This is your chance to explore what you might do if you felt you had enough support and a clear direction. What if right now you do? Will the time come when you think that’s true? No excuses.
Hint: Direct your attention to what you want. Find all the ways to say yes.

Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly.
Small and brief risks will probably go just fine so put yourself out there when you see the opportunity. You can head off any trouble by being open to the possibility that you are doing harm.
Hint: Start off by considering feedback as truth. Ask for it. You can always change your mind.

Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
Month: January roughly.
Right about now you might be thinking “What was I thinking”? People might be asking you that too. Be influenced if it makes sense. Do what you feel driven to do anyway.
Hint: No need to fix what is not broken.

Tiger
Years: 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022
Month: February roughly.
Maybe you’re generally on alert this month. Dig down underneath that for specifics if you’re interested. Is it because of what you’re used to or what you’re not used to?
Hint: Surrender is an option, even for you. That’s not resignation or failure.

Rabbit
Years: 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023
Month: March roughly.
The ground is firm under your feet and it’s time to do the kind of things that leave a legacy for you and those who come after. Think long term.

Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
If you’re one of those “occasional psychic” Dragons, this month you can probably invoke it at will. Being that open might be overly demanding but that’s your lot.
Hint: Very much worth it too.

Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
Wrapping up the first half of the year. I’d say the best is yet to come. Focus on short term projects. Attend appointments. Consider accepting last minute invitations.
Hint: Prepare for successive shape shifting. Sssssss

Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Lost in the crowd for now. Whether or not you like the delivery, you’ve got a lot of support and commitment on your side. Do your work in secret if it makes you feel better.
Hint: If you want to be taken care of then let it happen.

Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030

Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1994, 2007, 2018, 2030

Rat
Years: 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
Month: December roughly.
Reduced by a clash you might find yourself open to an unwonted partnership. Metaphorical or literal distance could be helpful in sustaining it. If you’re out in the open, it will come to you.

Ox
Years: 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021

Who’s getting the axe? Think it through. Who is interested in you being their fuel or their organizer? Who throws flames on your behalf? Negotiate an exchange if it suits you – or just say NO.
Hint: Be open to the truth.

Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
