The Yang Water Monkey month is the 7th month of the Wood Dragon year. You’ve likely heard of “monkey shines” which describes some aspects of Monkey months. The Water Monkey, however, is a little more disciplined and overall supports leadership and creativity. However, family dynamics, particularly communications, may be an issue and it’s important to practice some form of stress management.

In a Wood Dragon year, the Monkey is considered the 2nd luckiest month of the year, so that’s hopeful in the wake of what’s been going on both domestically and globally.

Monkey Month heralds the transition into Fall. It’s main element is Metal, which will be slightly eroded by the yang water of the Stem. Water is in Monkey’s hidden elements, so that will “root” the water, giving it more control. This may result in an erosion of the strength of the monkey luck.

Tiger+Snake+Monkey = a Fire Penalty that can negatively affect relationships and health. If you have both Tiger & Snake in your chart, be mindful of how you interact with others and take care of your health. If you only have one of the two, you have a half combo that can still have a negative influence.

If you have Yin Earth or Yin Wood in your chart, or you were born in a year ending with a 5 or 8, this is a Nobleman month so be on the lookout for people who can help you.

If you have Tiger, Horse, or Dog in your chart, this could be a time of travel or change with the Traveling Horse Star present.

If you have Tiger in your chart, this is also a Clash month for you…a time of change and transformation as you may be pivoting from challenges.
