Aug 8 - Sept 7 is the month of Geng Shen/Yang Metal Monkey. We are now entering the Autumn months of the Chinese year, with metal being a prevailing element. The Monkey’s Yang metal, combined with the Yang Metal stem in a Water Rabbit year can bring and infusion of confidence, enthusiasm, and confidence. Business sectors that can be especially affected by this energy are Banking, Science/Engineering, Film, Sales, & Jewelry. While the gentle Sheep gave us a respite from the fiery Horse month, the energy of the Monkey will likely create a little excitement this month. If you have Monkey in your chart, you’ve likely been finding that this has been an eventful year with your hard work paying off.
This is a Clash Month for Tiger, which can mean challenges and changes.
If you have Tiger and Snake in your chart, it will form a Fire Penalty this month, which can affect relationships and health. So be mindful of those areas of you life. If you have only Tiger or Snake, it’s still a partial penalty, but not as powerful as the “full monty.”
If you have Tiger, Horse, or Dog in your chart, it forms a Traveling Star, which indicates travel or movement of some kind.
If you have a Yin Wood or Yin Earth Day Master or were born in a year ending with a 5 or 9, this is your Nobleman month for you! Whoohoo!
Feng Shui Analysis for August
The 2Black Illness Star flies to the center palace this month, where it’s supported by the native Earth Element. It’s hosted and controlled by the Annual 4 Wood element, and that relationship can create tension. So, be mindful of your health by taking preventative steps to improve your immunity and overall health. Maybe it’s time to tweak your diet and exercise habits or take other measures to improve your overall physical and mental well-being. It’s important to note that if you’re struggling emotionally, to reach out to people or agencies that can help.
The 5Yellow Malicious Star flies to the Northeast, where it is supported by the native Earth Element. It’s hosted and controlled by the Annual 7 Metal Star, a combination that is both aggressive and volatile. So this is not an area where you want to spend much time, particularly if you have not remediated the Annual Star. If it is at your front door, it’s preferable to use another entry if possible or avoid activating it as much as possible. If it’s your bedroom, either use another bedroom or add a plant to help support you.
The sectors that are most supportive and beneficial are the South and Southeast. Activating and spending time in those sectors could be beneficial to your overall prosperity.
If your Trigram is a 2, the Southwest sector is your home base, and a “Combination 10” supports you this month. Use this sector’s energy to do activities that can support or grow your business, career, or finances.
