The Fire Monkey month begins on Friday August 7th. Join us for the Monthly Meetup on Saturday August 8th from 9-10 am PDT (Seattle time).

It will be an interesting month for the United States. America was born in 1776 (a Fire Monkey year). When pillars match up like this it’s called Fu Yin which usually means a “crying event”. We’ll talk about that, but also about what the month could be like for us personally which is a different matter!

Among the topics up for discussion:

• Hexagram 40 Jie 解
• The Gordian Knot
• Being bold
• Becoming Uncomplacent
• The Nature of Fire Monkey and how we might apply it to these times
• The connection between the timing of the Declaration of Independence and the Consitution
• Flying Stars and tracking outbreaks
• Your Questions
• As many practical applications of bazi as possible

The Monthly Meetup is a monthly Chinese astrology discussion group that is included with a subscription to the Monthly Guide. You can also sign up here to attend a single meetup and receive a single copy of the Guide.

Have you thought about taking a class with me but you’re not sure what you’ll get out of it? The Monthly Meetup is a great way to get to know me and my style before you commit in a bigger way.

For $27.00 you get a copy of the Monthly Guide and admission to the Monthly Meetup. If you’re a student on a limited budget, you could learn more about Bazi each month by way of the Guide. That’s true for beginners and those who have been studying for awhile too.

I do sometimes cover more technical topics, but always with learners in mind. I work to make the knowledge accessible to you wherever you are now. And – since we are there together in real time, you can ask questions if you don’t understand or want to know more.

It’s the oral tradition at its finest. To encourage candid discussion, no recording will be made. You’ve gotta be there.

Among the topics up for discussion at the June Meetup:

• Horse in the Clouds
• Decisions
• Heavenly Pardon energy and who has it
• Hexagrams 1 and 44 (again!)
• “All Lines are Nine”
• The Great Man/Woman
• Fire
• Self Clash
• Summer 2020
• Waning yang, Waxing yin
• Your questions

It looks like the Water Dragon month (most of April) is going to be a dynamic month…and that’s why you would want to join us for the Monthly Meetup on Saturday April 4th. That’s one day before we begin the month of the Water Dragon. This clash of Water and Fire could be very dramatic and… interesting.

When your Chinese Astrologer says “interesting”, they might be using it in the sense I have heard my Chinese teachers say it. What do I mean? If they like you, they wouldn’t wish you an interesting year.

Seemingly without regard to our human intentions and wishes, Fate goes on. Seemingly.

What will we talk about? The Guide is the usual jumping off point for discussion. For the Water Dragon month possible topics include: the monthly hexagram, bazi of Benjamin Netanyahu, 魁罡 Kui Gang Pillars, proprioception, risk takers and deep rollers, graveyards, storages, the 浮沉 Instability star, who is lucky and who is challenged…

Whatever you’re working on, there’s a theme that keeps coming up that I want to share with you. I think we might all be tempted to stop our work early in the Dragon month. I’d think twice about that if I were you. By work I mean the personal, not necessarily your job.
