This year the Dog month (Oct 8 - Nov 6) is known as the Year Breaker, since it sits opposite the Dragon. The Year Breaker or Annual Clash is like a battering ram that generally indicates challenges, transformation, and power shifts. If there’s something that you or someone else has been hiding, it’s likely to be revealed this month. With the US elections occurring on Nov 5, this is energetically aligned. Change emerges from chaos. The National Treasure Star this month helps build trust with others, while the Month Emptiness Star encourages forgiveness. It will also become clear about who stands with you and who will abandon you when things begin to come unraveled. So, you can expect to see both challenges and possibilities this month!

The Dog month is considered a transitional month between Autumn and Winter with a Yang Earth element. When combined with the Yang Wood element, it creates some tension. Considering the current domestic and global political landscape, it’s likely to be a little tense. Hopefully, the National Treasure and Month Emptiness Stars will help build trust and forgiveness, and create smooth transitions toward a better future.

The Dog, Ox and Goat, forms an Earth Penalty, which is associated with disease, adversity, worry, and misfortune. If you have one or both of the Ox and Goat in your chart, it’s a good idea to be mindful and pro-active. Don’t become so obsessed with concern that you create issues for yourself. Take life as it comes, but be pro-active with your relationships, health, and career to avoid or diminish these uncertainties.

If you have Tiger in your chart it will form a semi-combination with Dog for direct resources, meaning that you could find the resources you need.

The most affected zodiac animals this month are Dog (problem solving), Dragon (new situational opportunities), Rooster (new opportunities), Goat (sudden opportunities/learning), Ox (appreciating assets), Rabbit (collaborations; pivot), Tiger (travel opportunities; new roll), and Horse (collaborative opportunity/recognition).

There is no Nobleman Star for the Dog Month.
