--------------------------------------------

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).

Now, you may want to ask what about Peach Blossom, Nobleman and Sky Horse?

This is very simple: when you enter your Peach Blossom month, you realize that it favors romance and networking. Nobleman Star brings people willing to help, benefactors and teachers, while Sky Horse is favorable for trips.
