12 Animal Fortunes for the Wood Rooster Month

Posted on by Stephanie Stewart

Wood Rooster 乙酉 Month
September 7th 16:52-October 8th 08:41

Here are the Animal Fortunes for the month of the Wood Rooster. 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 bazi works, take a class with me. If you want to know more about your own bazi, book a reading here. You can book a reading for 2026 now.

Pillars and Fortunes

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.

Take a little time off from the revolution Monkey. That is, the hands-on part. Continue other ongoing work as you are able. Hopefully you were able to avoid injury last month.
Hint: You’ll start something new later.

Monthly Meetup – Wood Rooster Month

Posted on by Stephanie Stewart

The 乙酉 Wood Rooster Month opens on Sunday September 7th but we’ll be meeting just a bit early on Saturday September 6th from 9-10 am GMT-7. You can find more information or sign up here.

As usual, we will use my Monthly Guide as the jumping off point for discussion but we are not limited by that.

Some possible topics include Hexagram 33, the triple combination of Metal and what that could mean in your life, strategy, “seeing things”, robbery sha, self penalties, and the bazi of Debbie Harry who was born in a Wood Rooster year (1945).

I might talk a little about the relationship of Zi Wei Dou Shou astrology and Ba Zi too.

I hope you’ll join us. The Guide for the Wood Rooster Month, along with the Zoom link for the meetup, will go out by email on on Friday September 5th.

If you have any questions please email me through my site.

Wood Monkey Month : Decisions Press

Posted on by Stephanie Stewart

What happens when Wood and Metal get together? This is what we could learn this month.

We might summarize the conflict of 木 Wood and 金 Metal as the interplay of elements. For the Wood, the Metal provides an unforgettable intrusive experience, literally leaving a scar. The Metal is offended by the space the Wood demands, as well as its expression (words or 火 Fire).

Metal finds the words of Wood offensive and wants to negate them. Wood finds the words of Metal (that is, 水 Water) make it want to take up more space. Both Wood and Metal are shorthand ways of describing process or movement. Wood expands, Metal contracts.

This conflict dynamic between Wood and Metal can be understood as an elemental cycle where the missing element is Earth. So maybe what is missing is loyalty, reliability, and stillness.

The Sheep is yin Earth technically, but it is the last month of the season of Fire. After Fire season, Metal season comes. The missing link is Earth again. The contrast between Sheep month and Monkey month feels like going down a step that is slightly disporportionate with the others in the staircase. It startles the nervous system.

There are four pillars that embody this Wood/Metal conflict energy: The Wood Monkey, Wood Rooster, Metal Tiger, and Metal Rabbit. If you read bazi, you know that wherever this pillar appears there is some inherent conflict in that part of the person’s life. Some people seem to “suffer” from the conflict while others will surprise you with creativity and transformations.

yang Wood yin Wood yang Metal yin Metal
甲 乙 庚 辛
申 酉 寅 卯
Monkey Rooster Tiger Rabbit

Each of these pillars has an energetic signature so to speak. For example, the Wood Monkey is a decision maker. In the year pillar, it might indicate a person who was charged to take care of a family at a young age. It’s overwhelming and this may reinforce the Monkey’s tendency not to reveal their plans due to feeling like when they do, they get thwarted by responsibility.

The Wood Rooster has a similar experience, but they might be more prone to negotiating a better outcome than the Monkey would. The Rooster will want to handle things in a more subtle way, maybe even seeking religion or other ways of anchoring their ethics to practical matters.

The Metal Tiger is maybe the harshest one, but if you’re Metal sitting on Wood, it might feel like you have to be that way to survive. With the Metal Tiger it controls from the top down. The Wood Monkey is trying to control what heaven has given, the Metal Tiger is trying to control things on earth. These are just a few ways to think about these pillars.

In reading bazi, I like to always remember what these symbols are trying to say. For example, yes you could interpret yang Wood as a tree, and yang Metal (Monkey) as an axe. Wood and Metal clash, but when we see these characters together the first thing you might notice is how similar they are.

甲申

When you see this pillar, you know right from the start that discernment is needed; this person is going to need to be discerning. This is a theme of their life, but in the lens of yin/yang they might be very careful, or they might be very careless!

The Wood Monkey pillar is often the sign of an important decision that is pressing and I think we are all feeling that in August 2025. This pillar can also indicate a person who has to make important decisions.

For example, Harry Truman, who was the 33rd US President, authorized the use of the atomic bomb in 1945. He was born in a Wood Monkey year. He made the authorization in a Wood Rooster year, close to the start of a Wood Monkey month. His year pillar and month pillar match Giuliani’s and maybe this is a testament about how one person having too much power can lead them into doing things that they might avoid otherwise; things that they might profoundly regret.

This is a challenging year for the Wood Monkey because it’s a Wood Snake year, and the Monkey and Snake have a unique kind of relationship. Elon Musk has a Wood Monkey day pillar. As such a public figure we know quite a bit about his antics so he’s a good case study.

You see, Monkeys tend to have problems with third party relationships in a Snake year, and that’s Elon for sure. The 申 Monkey may or may not know about the third party. A Monkey might be the third party, but this is true for 巳 Snake and 寅 Tiger too. The so called Fire Penalty only exists in the context of relationships. That means it can be influenced by our behavior.

Monkey and Snake are Secret Friends, and they also carry each other’s breakup sign. This is sometimes called a Destruction in a bazi. It’s complicated.

The last Wood Monkey year was 2004, so 21 year olds like Millie Bobbie Brown* are impacted by the Snake this year, as well as 81 year olds like Rudy Giuliani.

In 2001, a Metal Snake year, Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York city and was thought to be a hero. That was his last year in office. The Snake is not kind to him as you can see if you look at his career history. Each time a Snake comes, he experiences endings.

His experience of the Snake is magnified by the Snake in his month pillar. Do you see how it combines from top to bottom with the year pillar? An interesting feature of this is that his output (Wood) can be transformed to his officer (Earth). Unless he is careful, his words and deeds can get him in trouble with authority. This might be more problematic for a Water day master than any other. I think when there are Earth signs in the stem or branch Rudy Giuliani gets some consequences and health issues too.

Mr. Giuliani kicked off the Year of the Wood Snake in the Tiger month with the Fire Penalty, which for him involves his money element.

He is a Water person, so his money and success element is Fire. In February 2025 he settled a lawsuit where I’m sure he lost a big chunk of change, but I’m thinking he didn’t lose as much as he could have even though he committed serious violations of ethics. Why? Probably because he is a strong Water guy.

His powerful day pillar of Water Dragon is the same as Putin’s year pillar, and it clashes top to bottom with Trump’s year pillar of Fire Dog. My take on Rudy is that when he fell in with the wrong “friends”, his career tanked. I don’t think Water is a helpful element for him. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2024. I think you can see the potential for this in his bazi.

While bazi is often calculated using solar timings, you might decide to use the lunar calendar instead. From that perspective, Rudy Giuliani was born in an intercalary lunar month. I picked up on this because this summer I have been learning Zi Wei Dou Shu, which is calculated with lunar timings. I haven’t done enough research yet to tell if there might be something significant about being born in an intercalary month.

If you are interested in a Zi Wei Dou Shu reading, I will be offering it as a service soon. Watch for an announcement here on the blog, or receive a notification in your email by subscribing to my Substack.

I wish you (and Rudy) well in this month where decisions are pressing in. Let your relationships guide your actions. Where do you want to be this winter? Who else will be there?

*Born in a Tiger month, Millie Bobbie Brown is experiencing the Fire Penalty this year too. Based on her life, I suspect Fire is a favorable element for her.

Monthly Meetup – Wood Monkey Month

Posted on by Stephanie Stewart

The 甲申 Wood Monkey Month opens on August 7th and we’ve got a Full Moon for the next Monthly Meetup on Saturday August 9th from 9-10 am GMT-7. That’s Seattle time in case you want more clarification!

You can find more information or sign up here. As usual, we will use my Monthly Guide as the jumping off point for discussion but we are not limited by that. Some possible topics include Hexagrams 63 and 64, endings/completions vs process, Elon (again), Harry S. Truman, some bazi pillars that express inner conflict and what that might be like, what we might expect from a Monkey month in a Snake year…

And a little study of the bazi of Rudy Giulani who was born in a Wood Monkey year in an Earth Snake month. People used to think he was a great guy back in 2001. What changed? Maybe the Hungry Ghosts got in his head.

I hope to see you there!

Autumn Enrollment for BaZi Students

Posted on by Stephanie Stewart

In the cycle of Five Elements autumn is the time of Metal: the time of harvest, contraction, defining, and calculation. It’s both heady and cerebral. Metal is playful and competitive, but not the same kind of playfulness of Fire in the summer.

Autumn is a great time to start or learn something new that you can continue with when winter comes. Whatever your level of learning, I can meet you where you are, whether you are a beginner or somewhere past that.

The seasons help us to understand elements as processes or movements. If you’ve ever been in an elevator, you know how the movements of Fire and Water feel in your body. Fire moves up, Water moves down. In summer we become more active and expansive, in winter we are less active and more introspective. Pretty much any thing or experience can be approached from an elemental perspective.

If you’re curious about that, you’re already connecting to one of the most important core principles of Chinese Metaphysics. Are you ready to learn BaZi? Enroll in my intensive introductory level Foundations of BaZi course. There are two spaces available.

Alternatively, you can enroll for one of my topic based classes or book an hour (or two) to ask questions related to your independent studies.

In the Chinese Calendar, autumn begins with the Monkey month, which seems fitting as the Monkey is often teaching us some lesson. This year, we have a Wood Monkey month which begins Thursday August 7th. If you are ready to learn, please visit my Study page for more information on class formats and topics. Send me an email if you have any questions.

未 Sheep
Years: 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015, 2027
Month: July roughly.
It’s a big ask for the Sheep this month – to break ancestral patterns or perpetuate them? Shelter or to cast out? Imprison or restore? Be a bully? Or be a victim? So many decisions to make.
Hint: You’re setting up for 2027 every day in this revolution.

申 Monkey
Years: 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016, 2028
Month: August roughly.
Like last month, Monkeys are working on things they would like to get out of the way. This could be about learning, home/health related, and what you do to feel free.
Hint: Have you thought much about how your mother has shaped your role in this revolution?

酉 Rooster
Years: 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017, 2029
Month: September roughly.

Hint: Traveling for the revolution? That works too.

戌 Dog
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, 2030
Month: October roughly.
This month it’s the Dog who may realize that a relationship is ending. Wherever this energy lands for you, are you going to pass it on? Or let it pass through? Surprise yourself with your service.
Hint: What patterns can you break in this revolution?

亥 Pig
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019, 2031
Month: November roughly.
Now that you know where all the pieces are on the board, give yourself a moment to create and participate in community. Start early this time.
Hint: What could happen in this revolution that you want to be lasting? Facilitate it.

子 Rat
Years: 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020, 2032
Month: December roughly.
Rats: be in the moment and you’ll know the exact right thing to do in this revolution. I know you know how to move upward when you want to.
Hint: Explore ways to be softly impulsive.

丑 Ox
Years: 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033
Month: January roughly.
The challenges of the revolution continue for the Ox, who could feel injured by the lack of routine these days. The lack of routine is the new routine.
Hint: Health care or recovery may be on your agenda. Give yourself a moment.

寅 Tiger
Years: 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034
Month: February roughly.
Tigers play. Explore dreams and woo woo. The spirit world might be safer than the physical at the moment. Watch the world go by from your favorite high place.
Hint: There are certain prizes in the revolution. It’s okay to take some.

卯 Rabbit
Years: 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011, 2023, 2035

Rabbits are back on solid ground in the revolution. Don’t let whatever went down last month distract you from the wealth and success that is available now.
Hint: It’s not size that matters.

辰 Dragon
Years: 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012, 2024
Month: April roughly.
They say you are the remedy for the Bullying Punishment Dragon. Will you accept the role? Be open, ask questions, make requests. Trust?
Hint: Keep it on the yang side. Extend your attention to the revolution.

巳 Snake
Years: 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013, 2025
Month: May roughly.
Long term goals may be on hold this month for Snake. That means you can make yourself for filling in for different roles in the revolution. Bask in the warmth when you can.
Hint: Let things move forward; enable moving forward.

午 Horse
Years: 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014, 2026
Month: June roughly.
Mistakes will be made in this revolution Horse, and I know some of yours happened last month. You can laugh at yourself, move on, learn, or all three! A month should be enough to recover.
Hint: Be respectful to those who stick by your side through it all.

Join us on Zoom Saturday July 12th from 9-10am GMT-7 for a one hour group discussion about Chinese Astrology and the month of the 癸未 Water Sheep. The jumping off point for this discussion is the Monthly Guide.

Some of this month’s topics include the nature of the Water Sheep, the bazi of Zohran Mamdani (yay!!), Hexagram 47 and what to do about it, earthquakes (again), and of course, the Bullying Punishment aka the Earth Punishment. Spontaneous discussion and questions from the group are always welcome. For me that might be the best part. I am most interested in application.

If you’re not a subscriber, you can get a copy of the current Monthly Guide here. For subscribers and others who purchase the Guide, you can expect it to land in your inbox on or before Thursday July 7th which is the first day of the Water Sheep Month.
