October 8 - November 6 is the month of the Yang Metal Dog (Geng Xu 庚 戌). We are now transitioning from Autumn to Winter. The Dog is a Yang Earth element, with hidden elements of Yang Earth, Yin Metal, and Yin Fire. The Dog is the 11th animal of the Chinese zodiac and the 9th month of the Chinese year. The Metal Dog characteristically wants to make the world better. Its sense of justice is very keen and will stay dedicated to making things right. Loyalty and honesty are also key traits of the Dog. This month’s energy will prop up those seeking justice, equity, and high principles. The Dog produces the Artistic Star for the Tiger Year, which brings creative, artistic, and intelligent energy.
If you have Horse in your chart, the combination of the Dog Month and Tiger Year is known as a Trinity, which supports harmony in relationships. This energy could mean healing, enhancement, or opportunities for new relationships.
If you have Rabbit in your chart, this month produces a Six Combination, which generally portends auspicious and favorable activities. Very favorable and magical things can occur, involving people and opportunities. So stay alert and open…keep your eyes open and don’t dismiss or overlook an opportunity or person who could possibly change the course of your life.
If you have Pig, Rat, or Ox in your chart, this produces a Solitary Star for both the year and this month. Because this energy can make you feel lonely, isolated, and sad, it’s important that you take care to combat that. Especially this month when there’s a double dose of this energy…and particularly if you have more than one of those animals in your chart. Get out and do things with friends or family. Exercise to release endorphins in your body. Stay occupied and keep your vibration high.
There is no Nobleman Star this month.
Wishing you a safe and prosperous Dog month! If you are interested in having your personal chart plotted and analyzed, contact me HERE.
