Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
This is the month that a Wood Sheep might meet up with a Metal Horse and find themselves able to dare more. Other Sheep can get in on that energy too by seeking Fire. Get ready to move quickly.
Hint: Is it time for you to make room for something new in your life?

Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Monkeys who went cold on expectations last month find themselves warming up. Do the things that makes you feel alive and you’ll find more of them.
Hint: You’re Fire’s prize and it is Fire that makes you sharper.

Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
If you think you’re making a mistake feeling seemingly irresistible attraction, I want you to remember that whoever it is you’re attracted to is in the same position.
Hint: Sparkle AND melt? Let yourself be experienced. Use protection!

Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
A less psychologically tumultuous month for the Dog. Time to take a breath and deal with the details.
Hint: Horses (and Tigers) can help you materialize projects and further stabilize yourself. Perfect timing.

Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Month: November roughly.

Hint: Lean on reputation or change it. You can do that this year.

Rat
Years: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032
Month: December roughly.
Rats experience a potentially uncomfortable amount of conflicting attention this month. You have a lot of influence, but don’t expect it to be secret.

Ox
Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033
Month: January roughly.
Accept the light. An ongoing theme of 2024 for the Ox is uncertainty and this month seems to be continuing that trend. Keep it moving.
Hint: Don’t let that doubt get comfortable.

Tiger
Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034
Month: February roughly.
Tigers celebrate success and recognition, maybe even things that feel like a promotion. For showing off and having your form revealed.

Years: 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2035
Month: March roughly.
Keep your eyes open. Metal Horse is a push pull kind of month that could distract you from seeing much you are wanted.
Hint: Being set free might do that too.

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

12 Animal Fortunes for the Earth Snake Month

Earth Snake 己巳 Month
May 5th 08:22-June 5th 12:34

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Earth Snake. To get the most out of the fortunes you’ll want to know all four of your pillars which are based on your birth year, month, day 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.

Month: April roughly.
The month demands nitty gritty calculation, production and making claims. Not the same as magic is it? For best results, tend to what you (and others) can see.
Hint: Head down for now. Work on existing projects.

Kamala Harris Ba Zi

Kamala Harris was born in a 甲辰 Wood Dragon year – like 2024. She turns 60 this year which, in the system of Chinese Astrology means she has completed the Cycle of 60 Pillars. When you turn 60 you have lived through all the possible pillars, you’ve had at least a year of every possible energetic combination and presumably you have learned from this experience. Regardless of whether that’s true, turning 60 is a starting over point. Some would say now you are like a child again. Certainly 2024 will be one of the most significant and interesting years of her life.

In such an important year, Kamala Harris is already the sitting Vice President of the United States. Unless there are unexpected events, she is pretty much guaranteed a spot on the ticket again in 2024. She has been growing her public persona since 1990 and yet, many people don’t feel like they know her. When she is more open she tends to get more criticism.

Kamala may be keeping a lower profile now than she did when she was a Senator as traditionally it is part of the Vice President’s job is to avoid stealing attention from the President. That certainly doesn’t help us get to know her, and what if she wants to be understood but not known? She is hard to read. Is that purposeful on her part or is it her fate? Are these things separate? I think her Ba Zi has a lot to tell.

After the inauguration in 2021 Kamala Harris was in the news more, unsurprisingly, not in a way that helped us get to know her. There were many rumors surrounding her settling into the White House. People said she was unfocused, difficult, inscrutable and demanding. After that, Kamala seemed to disappear in 2022 and 2023. Her day pillar suggests that may have been related to her health, but now she’s back, having started her Reproductive Freedoms Tour in January 2024.

Kamala gives the impression that she is unmoved by opposition or criticism, but she does seem to care about women, children and reproductive rights. She is interested in lowering the cost of health care. Rabbit, which is her General Star, is constantly drawn into her natal chart and these are Rabbit-related things. At the same time, I’m not sure where she stands when it comes to ending air borne diseases like Covid.*

Kamala Harris is a more powerful person than Joe Biden in many ways, although not as popular. Kamala Harris has the Ba Zi of a general, but can she be a leader in her own right? Could she ever be the President of the United States? A general could be a president in times of war.

In the process of analyzing a Ba Zi, for me a summary phrase often comes to mind. With Kamala’s Ba Zi it’s “Caring Authoritarian” and I believe this is how our next President will present, whoever it is. The caring part may be true but who is it for? We are in a time cycle that supports an authoritarian regime unless things change. I hope you don’t believe the argument that punishment can be a substitute for nurturing and support and somehow that will bring peace. This is what I worry about.

Ba Zi of Kamala Harris

Life House   Hour Day Month Year Big Fate
yin Water yang Metal yang Water yang Wood yang Wood yang Earth
 
 
Rooster Dog Tiger Dog Dragon Dragon

 

Kamala is a yang Water Day stem person. All of the pillars in her chart are yang. Being a Water person, she is easily influenced by others’ feelings although maybe not their words. It’s her empathy that gets to her. This is well disguised by the Wood Dragon in her year pillar, the Wood Dog in her month pillar and the Tiger in her day pillar. Deep down, she has the Metal Dog in her hour. That’s a Kui Gang pillar – pretty handy if you want to be in politics or any game where toughness is considered a virtue. With Water Rooster in her Life House, most of her opinions and what she does are formed by her early years, somewhere around the time she went to kindergarten. Look for themes related to that for Kamala in September 2024. It may remind her of a time when she felt a public exposure or humiliation.

Even though Kamala could be considered a weak yang Water person, yang Water is inexhaustible and she has hidden reserves in the Dragon. When it comes Kamala’s helpful elements, the ones that boost her career the most are Fire and Earth. I think Earth is probably the best when it comes to her career. The healthiest element in her chart is Earth which is her power.

Kamala Harris is interested in showing you that she is smart, that what she thinks is important and maybe nothing else. If she wants to be a President, Kamala would benefit by focusing on being understood. I know she can do that, but I also think she wants to influence (or leave a mark) more than she might want to be a leader. That is curation energy.

What we experience of Kamala is filtered through her external energy and in a Ba Zi her external energy is called Qi Sha or Seven Killings. Kamala’s work merges into her public personality. It’s hard to differentiate between them. Kamala is commanding and intimidating and people don’t usually appreciate that in women. Under the surface, Kamala possesses a youthful and optimistic kind of energy that drives her high risk tolerance. She is not afraid.

Qi Sha energy functions in the contexts of conquering and taking. For Kamala, these actions are spurred by empathy and this is where I am hoping she will surprise us. She feels what other people are feeling, she feels their experience but she may not be good at gentleness. That’s okay as long as she can learn. Qi Sha also means you are very resourceful. You find or create resources for yourself. If you look at Kamala’s history and career, men help her do that whether they mean to or not.

Although Kamala has perfected the art of seeming tough, she deals with lifelong frustration and likely has experienced bouts of depression. Her thoughts are easily turned to action. Think it, do it. And yet, her actions and words are sometimes ridiculed. I expect she feels pretty lonely and misunderstood, but the Dog in her Ba Zi keeps her going regardless.

One of the most important influences for Kamala was obviously her mother who happened to name both of her daughters after goddesses – a power move! At age seven, watching Shyamala Gopalan, her mother, pursue her career while taking on single motherhood was a demonstration for Kamala of where her own possibilities began. If we interpret the year pillar as having to do with parents, there’s that Qi Sha again. She learned it from her momma.

Kamala Harris carries and seems to be comfortable with a lot of dissonance. When I look at her Ba Zi I see a person who values control more than intimacy. She is not fearful but she is familiar with worry, depression and frustration. For Kamala to stay in her comfort zone, certain appearances, and therefore compartments, must be maintained. Kamala would like you to stay at arms length away, at least, and I kind of don’t blame her. She has her reasons for feeling like she has to protect herself at all times and so she does. She’ll be the one to decide if that kind of energy will support all that she wants to experience on this second time around the wheel.

From a Ba Zi perspective, Kamala is hard to read because her year pillar is both Qi Sha and Void or Empty. Her public facing energy is Void. Wood is a Void element for Kamala and so is Earth. If both Wood and Earth are void in this chart, it’s only a small leap to think that all four pillars could be Void. It’s a fun idea to play with.

In October 2024, we will see what happens when her Void year pillar is clashed. I think we are about to learn more about Kamala Harris this year than we ever have before. Her luck in November is better than Joe Biden’s. Sometimes I wonder if that helped him win in 2020.

*When you look at her chart, ask yourself what year Kamala Harris had Covid. It’s staring you in the face.

Wood Dragon : Curation Energy

What can you say about a year from the information contained in two symbols? If you study Ba Zi, the answer to that question is: much more than I can write about in this lifetime. Let’s focus on what is relevant about the Wood Dragon pillar in 2024.

Wood Dragon Pillar

yang Wood
Dragon

The pillar consists of Heavenly Stem yang Wood sitting on top of Earthly Branch Dragon whose main element is yang Earth. Wood controls or clashes Earth. It might be a land grab.

Every pillar has a signature energy which is the interaction of the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch. Within the Earthly Branch there are hidden elements that should also be considered, however, those are more readily explored in private or group study.

The image of the Wood Dragon for me is of Wood grabbing Earth and sinking down its roots. Wood has an advantage over Earth.

The relationship of the yang Wood and the yang Earth is called 七煞 Qi Sha or 7 Killings. In this case the relationship is between Wood and Earth, but any element has a Qi Sha. You can recognize it when there are clashing elements together that have the same polarity, meaning both are yin or both are yang. Qi Sha is about force and sometimes, breaking laws. When both signs are yang, the potential rewards and risks are big and out in the open. This is where we are now in 2024.

We can learn a lot about a day, a year, a month or a person by way of a single pillar. If you study Ba Zi long enough you will be able to pick out a person’s year pillar from their personality and the visual (or other) cues of age. Sometimes I watch unscripted tv just to have fun trying to guess the year pillars of the cast. For the most part, you can look up their birth information to check your work. This is a fun exercise, especially if you’re needing to rest. Rest doesn’t have to be boring.

The energy of the Wood Dragon speaks of curation, of the taking, selection or presentation of things that may not belong to you. Remember what I said about Qi Sha?

I hope you know I’m not presenting Qi Sha as morally wrong because that’s not what I think. Destruction or control is an energetic phase. It’s part of every process. It’s humans that invest it with meaning, or direct the meaning. We usually have some influence over how changes play out. We do have the capability to heal destruction but we don’t always choose it.

Curation is a natural tendency for humans because we are naturally curious. We’re always looking for patterns and we like to learn from what we find. We like to share about what we find if we think it’s good. This is probably a trait held over from hunter gatherer culture at least. Curation isn’t inherently negative.

In the past, the outcomes of curation have brought enormous benefits to students, philosophers and scholars. I think it aided survival as well. The first time that a human led another human to see a cave painting, or to their favorite berry patch, was a curation. As much as they can, caring parents curate what their children are exposed to and what they want them to learn. This is done out of seeking the advancement of your offspring, naturally. Curation has likely assisted in human evolution. How not?

Learning groups like salons were curated gatherings of smart and/or popular people who were selected to share ideas as a way of entertainment and advancement. Salons in the 21st century might include colleges and universities, summit meetings, panels of experts, very exclusive gatherings of the powerful, and expensive parties. Some curation is done in the open but I think most is not. Consider museums.

A museum is a building filled with curated objects that are deemed worthy of being collected and displayed. The curated objects are removed from their context and time, separated from their history. Once that is accomplished, they can be grouped to a curator’s liking. Their meaning may be reassigned. Museums rely on the old being made new again, by way of curation. Curators know this will attract a bigger crowd and more money.

Curation was meant for sharing but somewhere along the way it became a kind of claiming of ownership instead. Sometimes this is called appropriation. To ignore how curation harms, robs and kills cultures, lands and people would be a one sided view, wouldn’t it?

In the process of curation, a certain image is projected about the curator. A curator is a taste maker, meaning you will see their taste in what they present to you. This Wood Dragon year of 2024 is very much about curation of everything. For example, AI is a curating kind of tool, so is social media. Human Design is an example of curation too. This energy is not new or novel, it’s vibrant now.

Many of your favorite influencers are impressing you with someone else’s original content without you realizing it, but few of them will say this. It’s usually the ones that do cite sources who have the real knowledge. Most of what you might see from content creators is really an iteration of their previous work or an unattributed co-opting of others’ work. The thinking is shrinking. We seem to be in an era of accepting what is curated. The shrinking of thinking.

Curation can be used to influence you as to what is good and what is bad, what is normal and what is not. Curation involves both affirmations and negations. Curation energy can be seen in the context of buying trends, boycotts, videos, photos, music, writing, ideas and maybe most importantly, land, cultures, knowledge and information. The list is too long to be written here, but TikTok is rich with the curation phenomena should you want more examples.

In 2024, I challenge you to chase sources and source materials. Consider what human intention is behind the curation. Instead of having a pattern fed to you, find it yourself. Invest it with your own meaning and grow it. We could use something new.

2024 US Presidential Election

I’ve recently published a couple of posts about US Presidential Elections and Ba Zi. One about the pattern of our elections and one about the patterns of elections held in a Dragon year. You may want to read those first. In this article I will focus on election results in a Wood Dragon year, starting with general considerations. and then working down to a Wood Dragon year like this one. What I mean is, not all Wood Dragon years occur in time cycle like the one we are in, so you want to focus on the ones that do.

2024 is a Wood Dragon year in the Chinese Calendar. The pillar consists of yang Wood sitting on top of the Dragon whose main element is yang Earth. Wood controls or clashes Earth.

yang Wood
Dragon

The image here for me is of Wood grabbing Earth and sinking down its roots. Wood has an advantage over Earth. What might that say about who will win the election?

The relationship of the yang Wood and the yang Earth is called 七煞 Qi Sha or 7 Killings. In this case the relationship is between Wood and Earth, but any element has a Qi Sha. You can recognize it when there are clashing elements together that have the same polarity, meaning both are yin or both are yang. Qi Sha is about force and sometimes, breaking laws. When both signs are yang, the potential rewards and risks are big and out in the open. This is where we are now.

Generally speaking, if you want to be the leader of a country, it helps to have that Qi Sha energy. Remember, I didn’t make these rules.

US Presidential Election of 2024

If you want more clues about who will win, you might start by looking at the election results of past Dragon years to find a pattern. We already know that Monkey, Rat, and Rooster have special privileges when it comes to the Dragon. It seems to be helpful to have the Wood element or potential Wood element in the year pillar.

Although Monkeys are favored in Dragon years so far only one Monkey was elected in a Dragon year and that was Lyndon B. Johnson. As of now in 2024, there are no Monkeys in the running.

In a Dragon year, generally speaking the Dragon is not favored. It seems unlikely that Marianne Williamson, a 1952 Water Dragon, can win. She’s resumed campaigning as I write this, having already dropped out once. Is it a self clash? Or is she finally putting herself in service with her campaign that is said to be about ideas and not winning?

Current Vice President Kamala Harris is a 1964 Wood Dragon. Kamala doesn’t seem have a good chance to be elected President, but she might have a shot at being the President anyway. She has the Wood. Wood is what she does. Her birth year matches this Wood Dragon year. Kamala Harris will be on the ticket as VP nominee with Biden again in 2024. Her Ba Zi makes me think there might be more in store for her this year than that, and despite the self clash, Dragons do get some good luck in a Dragon year. Woodrow Wilson was born in a Fire Dragon year and elected 60 years later in a Fire Dragon year.

As for Rats, there are two who have won the US Presidential election in a Dragon year. That would be Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, both born in a Wood Rat year. That would have made 1972 Water Rat Nikki Hayley the Rat to watch but she has ended her campaign. Still, the Rat is usually the main influencer in the US.

Only one Rooster has ever been elected President, that’s Fire Rooster Grover Cleveland, elected for the second time in a Water Dragon year of course! There is one Rooster running now and that’s Claudia De La Cruz, born in a Metal Rooster year.

For me, Robert F Kennedy Jr who was born in January 1954 has a Horse like physicality, however, in a political arena any Kennedy tends to Snake. Those are their ancestors. Maybe RFK Jr has the Wood but is it robust enough? Would you read him as Wood Horse or Water Snake? I can see tendencies of both.

Born in 1953, Cornel West is a Water Snake. Maybe we can summarize his personality best as politician and philosopher. People have been anxious to write him off due to his “interesting” personal life but he’s no different than any of these other guys. He recently announced Dr. Melina Abdullah who was born in a Water Rat year as his running mate. She was born in a Rooster month. Maybe her luck is better than his.

If Wood is a helpful element to have in the year pillar when you’re running for election in a Dragon year, Joe Biden, a 1942 Water Horse is lucky.* Speaking of Wood, what about 1950 Metal Tiger Jill Stein?

And finally, let’s address the woolly mammoth in the room, that is, Trump. Trump was born in a Fire Dog year which means this year is a clash for him. Trump has no Wood in his year pillar. I really doubt he can be elected but as I said, there have been people born in a Dog year elected in a Dragon year: Wood Dog Herbert Hoover won in 1928 and George H.W. Bush (Fire Dog) in 1988. Those were elections held in Earth Dragon years. The 戊辰 Earth Dragon pillar always reminds me of something like a Dog on top of a Dragon so…maybe that’s what it takes. Herbert Hoover does have that Wood in his year pillar though.

Since I do think we’re due for a woman President soon, let’s ask President Gerald Ford how that might happen. All I can say is, this scenario put forward also is plausible, however, it’s all going to come down to timing isn’t it?

A couple of thoughts:
When a VP assumes the office of President mid term, in the next election they are the incumbent which is an advantage but not a guarantee.

I don’t think it has ever happened that a VP has taken over for a President elect, meaning they are not yet inaugurated. Do let me know if I’m wrong about that!

Possible Correlations Between US Presidential Elections of 1844 and 2024

Now, if we want to use history to inform the forecast, the Wood Dragon year that stands out most as relevant to 2024 is 1844 when James K. Polk was elected. Obviously 2024 will not be a replay of 1844, however, we should see some similar events.

James Polk Facts

James Polk was born in a Wood Rabbit year which actually points us to an important clue: most of the candidates who win in a Dragon year have the Wood element or potential Wood element in their year pillar in the Heavenly Stem or Earthly branch. Candidates with this quality may have an edge. Remember what I said about Qi Sha.

1.  Polk entered his party’s convention as a potential nominee for vice president but emerged as a compromise to head the ticket when no presidential candidate could gain the necessary two-thirds majority.

James Polk entered the convention as nominee for Vice President and ended up being the President.

Given the health status of Biden and Trump, whoever is in the VP position this year may have a good chance to end up as the President. That includes Kamala Harris for sure. Robert F Kennedy Jr. has chosen Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. I expect Donald Trump will see the advantage of selecting a woman as his VP nominee too. The other Presidential candidates are women. It seems likely we could have a woman president.

2.  Polk is known for extending the territory of the United States through the Mexican–American War during his presidency, annexing the Republic of Texas, the Oregon Territory, and the Mexican Cession after winning the Mexican–American War.

During his presidency Polk waged war on the south.

James Polk’s land grab increased the disparity of the distribution of wealth and power in the United States. Note how the land now called Texas was involved. Whoever wins will probably continue with border walls and land grabs.

The way that Polk took big parcels of land from indigenous peoples during his single term suggests the Wood Dragon of 2024 involves the beginning of a land grab. Regardless of whether U.S. citizens are the occupiers of land that is grabbed in 2024, we already know that the U.S. is involved in the grabbing.

3.  Polk helped make the U.S. a nation poised to become a world power, but with divisions between free and slave states gravely exacerbated, setting the stage for the Civil War.

This kind of energy follows the Water pattern of US Presidential elections and the influence of the Rat.The influence of the Rat is prevalent in a Dragon year.

By increasing the wealth/power gaps, James Polk set up supportive circumstances for future conflict between north and south.

Unfortunately, it’s not hard to imagine plausible and even likely scenarios where all three of these things could happen in 2024 or following years regardless of who is the US President. People who seem to know more about time than I do say that the future is what shapes the past and not vice versa. If that’s true, and the outcome is the same regardless of who is President, does it matter who wins?

Like Lucretius, who believes that the swerve of an atom can influence important events, I think it does matter who wins. I don’t believe everything about the future is fixed; there is some flexibility.
