Metal Snake 辛巳 Month
May 5th 13:57-June 5th 17:56
Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Metal 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 your Four Pillars, just ask! Each of the four animals of your BaZi correlates with an aspect of your life. Start with that interpretation.
If you’d like to know more about how your natal chart works, or what to expect in 2025, you can book a reading here.
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
巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
It’s time for Snakes to commit. This is how you will break through. Be decisive and firm for lasting results. This month brings one of the peak moments of the revolution. In terms of the year, you’re a Nobleman and THE boss.
Hint: Instead of reacting in ways that you usually would, go against the flow.
午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
That familiar urge to burn things down has arrived again. Or maybe it never goes away? If you’re into that kind of work, the demand is growing in this revolution.
Hint: It’s hard for Fire not to be influenced about where it goes. Be careful out there.
未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
The Sheep’s plate is full with family to support and their dreams of how revolution will heal the divisions they abhor. This month’s energy supports defining your visions. Live your truth.
Hint: Everything is in place for your plan.
申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Push back Monkey, that is, if someone is pushing you. It might be hard to tell friend from foe. Cultivate your agency in the revolution. Now is your chance.
Hint: Start with words, documents and such.
酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.
Everyone sees your tracks are everywhere in this revolution. If you have past deeds or words you’d like to reject now is the time. Come clean and I bet you can move on without much negative change.
Hint: Let the light make you sparkle.
戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
Stop waiting Dog. If you want to go and you can go, then go! I know you’re probably restless, and maybe it’s getting too hot for comfort where you are? Pay attention to that this year.
Hint: Make a habit of staying cool in the revolution.
亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Month: November roughly.
If it’s a month of stuckness for the Pig in the revolution, you might want to be like King Wen and learn from whatever you can observe from where you are.
Hint: You’ll probably have lots of ideas that come from this time to fuel your creativity.
子 Rat
Years: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032
Month: December roughly.
Rats may be feeling a little nervous without really being sure if it’s because they are scared of the revolution or want to oversee it. It’s a little late for that now, but no worries.
Hint: No one strategy works every time.
丑 Ox
Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033
Month: January roughly.
I encourage the Ox to recognize their own success and toot their own horns in this revolution. While it’s true that you might never be “finished”, take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come.
Hint: Try on perceiving your accomplishments as others do.
寅 Tiger
Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034
Month: February roughly.
Tigers are in a position to “punish” those in power, the timing is here. In the revolution we take it case by case. No blanket solutions.
Hint: Take up space and you might start a conflagration. Be sure you’re in the right place when it happens.
卯 Rabbit
Years: 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2035
Month: March roughly.
In a sense, Rabbits are empowered to be the PR or marketing people of the revolution this month. This might involve some kind of investigative journalism or just spreading the word as you usually do.
Hint: This is a work from home job for the most part, if you want it to be.
辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
Take a break if you can Dragon. Last month was too much cognitive dissonance even for you. If you’re landing in a new place, give yourself some time to explore.
Hint: Don’t expect your best work this month. I expect it’s still good enough!
