In Chinese astrology, we typically count months in accordance with the Chinese Solar calendar. Since each month starts on different dates (between 3rd and 8th), our Monthly Chinese Astrology posts will inform you about this, so that you can be aware of which month is currently on. 

Each of the twelve months is ruled by one Branch, also known as the Chinese Astrology sign (Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat and Ox). These twelve Branches differ mutually, and their relationships are complex (read more in other posts or my Chinese Astrology book: bit.ly/AstroBOOK).


Just as it occurs in life, some Branches love one another’s company; while others can appear to be hostile, hurtful or damaging to a lesser or larger extent. This is why I created these Monthly Chinese Astrology posts: to update you about how good a specific month is/can be for you.  So, let’s say you were born in the Rooster day (you can calculate your Ba Zi chart for free on: bit.ly/BaZiCalculate)… 

For you as a Rooster, the Rabbit month brings Clash, thus, some kind of distress may possibly happen to you. You may be tense, as you could meet hostile or unresponsive people more often, etc. But, when the Dragon, Snake or Ox months come, you may experience better people and relationship luck, which is indicated by the ‘’Combine with” in every Monthly Post. Clashes, Harms, Punishments and Destructions all indicate some kind of distress (Harms and Clashes typically have the strongest impact).

The Ten Selves – Xin (Metal) People

What does your Self reveal about you?   Your Self matters – it determines who You are!  To read a destiny, you have to know the self.  The Metal Elements (Geng) and (Xin) can be separated into ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ categories.  Xin is the ‘softer,’ but not necessarily ‘gentler’ Metal Element Self. Most Xin individuals are known for their excellent communication skills and insatiable curiosity.  These charming and talkative people always have something to say – they prefer to be both ‘seen’ and ‘heard’ at the same time! Especially if they are right.  Xin is a polished metal and Xin people want to get noticed. The external world is where they shine and thrive, where they are always in reach of knowledge and updated on current events – often by using their wit and humor to get the information they need. Due to these qualities, Xin people can quickly adapt to situations to suit their personal interests.  Color:  Soft Grey Organ/Meridian

CHINESE ASTROLOGY 2019: FIND THE LUCK OF YOUR SIGN (2) Unstable luck and changes When certain year brings a stable energy to the Chinese sign of your birthday, this is when everything will develop steadily in your life, without greater oscillations. However, there are some other years (the Chinese astrology can clearly point out to these years), when your luck is not going to be very stable and when your patience or faith in yourself might be challenged by numerous changes... Once you know that changes are on their way to you, you can wait for them to shake you, or you can opt for a more proactive way of handling them.
