January 2024 Month of the Yin Wood Ox
Jan 6 - Feb 3 is the month of the Yin Wood Ox and the 12th month of the Chinese calendar year. The Ox is an earth element, which is in a destructive cycle with wood. This creates tension. The Wood Ox is independent, self-sufficient, confident, courageous, and doesn’t seek the help of others. This may play out as a breakdown in collaborative efforts.
The Ox month is the transition month between winter and spring, so while we can feel the dormant aspects of winter, we will also get a glimpse of the new growth of Spring during the latter part of the month. Remember that the Solar Chinese New Year begins on February 4, which brings a whole new set of energy patterns. If you have not had a Feng Shui audit or update done on your home or business, this is the time to do it in order to prepare your spaces for these new energy patterns.
If you have Goat/Ram/Sheep or a Yin Metal stem in your BaZi chart, this is a CLASH month and you can expect to experience obstacles, challenges, and transitions this month. Depending upon which pillar is afflicted, it will affect you in different ways, either internally, or in your external world.
If you have Yang Wood, Yang Earth, or Yang Metal in your chart…or years ending with 4, 8, or 0…this is a NOBLEMAN month for you. Depending upon where the Nobleman Star is in your 4 pillars, there will be opportunities and helpful people.
FENG SHUI
This month is ruled by the 6 White star (Yang Metal), which supports career. It is hosted by the 4 Jade Wood Star, which is dominated by the metal star, creating some tension, especially with relationships and academics.
The most helpful sector this month is the West.
The least supportive sectors are the Northwest, Northeast, North, and Southeast.
Next month the dynamics of every building will change as a new cycle and a new year bring a massive energetic shift. Order your Feng Shui audit now to prepare your home or business space ready for this shift.
