The Ox Month (Jan 5 - Feb 2) is the 12th month of the Dragon Year. According to the Chinese calendar, the Lunar New Year (LNY) will be January 29 this year. The Lunar year is determined by the lunar cycles, but the Solar year is always on February 3/4. The Lunar year is a cultural celebration similar to our January 1. The Solar year is what all charts are based on in the Chinese Metaphysical and Healing Arts.
As you can see in the chart, the monthly stars will be the same as the annual stars, so the energy will be DOUBLE. That’s lovely when the stars are benevolent, but not so much when they are harsh. The central energy has 2 aggressive stars with possible arguments and lawsuits. This is helpful energy for law firms/attorneys. If you have a timid nature, this energy will give you courage, but be mindful this month of being too aggressive in your interface with others. There is some positive energy in the combinations of the 3-9 stars that supports celebrations and current wealth.
The most inauspicious sector is the West. The Wu Wang in the West hosts the 5 Yellow Malicious Star, and the 5-2 combinations turn the 2 Black into an illness star, so it’s definitely not a place where you want to hang out. If your front door is in this sector, use a secondary entry if possible. If not, place a 5-tube metal windchime outside the font door. No digging or construction here.
The South sector hosts a duplicate of the 7 Red Violence Star. This will form “crossed swords” which can herald physical violence, robbery, and losses. The 9 and the 4-7 combos this sector will dull the aggressive nature of these stars, but make sure any doors and windows are secure and if this is in your kitchen be mindful of using knives since you could suffer “injury by metal.”
The most auspicious Southwest sector supports current wealth since the 9 in this period is the wealth star. It’s a good area for activities that pertain to your finances.
The Southeast combos of 2-8 also support wealth since the 8 (past wealth) supports the best nature of the 2 to encourage future wealth.
The East 1-7 combos support fame/authority, so do activities here that pertain to your career this month.
The Northwest 4-1 combinations support academics and literacy, so it’s a good sector for studies and writing.
