RAT – Betrayal and Loss
1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, 2020
This is a month to tread more carefully. The visiting #7 Loss Star increases risk of betrayal, theft and financial loss, making it important to stay alert and avoid unnecessary risks. Be especially cautious when handling money, signing agreements or placing your trust in others. The month’s energies can also make you more stubborn than usual, causing you to overlook good advice or act too quickly. Keep an open mind, listen to those you trust and think things through before making important decisions. Avoid lending money, postpone major investments where possible, and take sensible precautions to protect your home and personal belongings. Women should be especially mindful when travelling alone or returning home late.
Carry the Rhino & Elephant Amulet or the 28 Hums Safety Amulet to guard against loss, betrayal and unexpected mishaps.
OX – Obstacles
1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021
This is a month to slow down and proceed with greater care. Unexpected obstacles, delays and setbacks make it important not to force situations or rush important decisions. If things do not go according to plan, be patient and allow events to unfold at their own pace. Avoid taking unnecessary risks or embarking on major new ventures this month. Stay organised, remain flexible and focus on completing what you have already started rather than taking on too much. Students should pace themselves and get enough rest.
Place a Mini Heart Sutra Pagoda in the Northeast to suppress the month’s misfortune energies and carry the Heart Sutra Pagoda Talisman or wear the 5-Eyed Dzi to clear obstacles and protect against setbacks.
TIGER – Misfortune Star
1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
This is a month to take things a little easier. Progress may be slower than expected, with unexpected obstacles and delays testing your patience. Avoid taking unnecessary risks or pushing yourself too hard. If important plans can wait, consider postponing them until next month, when the energies become much more supportive. Your patience may also be tested, making it easier to become frustrated with those around you. Choose your battles wisely and be appreciative of those who offer their support.
Carry the 28 Hums Safety Amulet or the Heart Sutra Pagoda Talisman to smooth your path, protect your health and help overcome obstacles.

This is one of your best months of the year. Good fortune surrounds you, bringing stronger wealth, career and relationship luck, together with exciting new opportunities. Make the most of this positive momentum by pushing ahead with your plans and taking advantage of favourable circumstances. Your efforts are likely to be well rewarded. Stay humble and avoid becoming overconfident, as success is best enjoyed with a clear mind and steady judgment.

SNAKE – Rise to the Occasion
1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
An exceptionally fortunate month, with success luck creating exciting new opportunities. Even if you find yourself hesitating, don’t let self-doubt stop you from moving forward. Your luck is far stronger than you realise. Set your sights high and be willing to step outside your comfort zone. This is a month when bold action brings rewarding results. Matters that may have been weighing on your mind begin to resolve themselves, with solutions appearing when you need them. Help and support also arrive at the right time, and the right people are more likely to cross your path. Keep your momentum going. You have every chance of exceeding your own expectations.

HORSE – In the Spotlight
1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014
This month brings a welcome change of fortune. You attract attention for all the right reasons, with your ideas carrying greater weight and your efforts more readily recognised. People listen to what you have to say and rally behind your plans. This is an excellent time to put yourself forward. If you’ve been seeking public recognition, building your reputation or campaigning for a cause, the month’s energies work strongly in your favour. Influential people are also more willing to lend their support, making this a good time to ask for introductions or approach those in positions of authority. Wealth and romance both receive a welcome boost, so don’t hold back.
Carry the Kuan Yin Dzi or the Wish-Fulfilling Birds Charm to attract influential supporters and to maximise the month’s opportunities.
SHEEP – New Opportunities
1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015
A month when your natural charm becomes one of your greatest assets. People are more receptive to your ideas, making it easier to negotiate favourable outcomes and persuade others to see things your way. Use your diplomacy and strategic thinking wisely, and you will find many doors opening for you. Financial opportunities are on the rise, making this an excellent time to build wealth and advance your long-term goals. Rather than forcing issues, let your people skills do the work for you. With so much happening, be careful not to overextend yourself. Pace yourself and avoid taking on more than you can manage. Protecting your energy now ensures you can make the most of this exceptionally productive month.
Carry the Get Rich Immediately Amulet or the Sky Bull Charm to strengthen your wealth luck and maximise the opportunities that come your way.
MONKEY – Opportunities Abound
1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016
This is a month to keep your eyes open, as opportunities have a way of appearing when you least expect them. Your quick thinking and natural resourcefulness give you an advantage, allowing you to spot possibilities that others might overlook. Whether a promising investment, a new business opportunity or an unexpected source of income, trust your instincts but do your homework before making commitments. Financial luck is strong, and many Monkeys will find their earlier efforts beginning to pay off. Just be careful not to overcommit. There is a tendency to take on too much, leaving you feeling drained before the month is over. Focus on what matters most and conserve your energy for the opportunities with the greatest potential.
Carry the Dragon & Phoenix Life Force Amulet with the Lingzhi Spirit Essence Amulet to strengthen your vitality, and the Sky Bull Charm for wealth.
ROOSTER – Strengthen Alliances
1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017
A month when your popularity rises and your ideas find a receptive audience. Your natural charm makes it easy to win people over and attract the support you need. Whether in business, at work or within your social circle, others are more inclined to say “yes” to your suggestions. Creative inspiration is also strong. Fresh ideas come easily and solutions to problems that have been eluding you suddenly become obvious. Don’t keep your ideas to yourself. Share them, refine them through discussion and allow others to help bring them to life. Relationships are a valuable source of strength this month, so nurture existing friendships and be open to forming new alliances.
Carry your Secret Friend Amulet (Dragon & Rooster) to strengthen your connections, and the Strategic Rooster Amulet to ensure all the decisions you make are the right ones.
DOG – Mental Exhaustion
1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018
This can be a draining month, both physically and emotionally. Small irritations have a way of becoming bigger than they need to be, and other people’s demands can leave you feeling worn out. Don’t allow yourself to get drawn into unnecessary drama. The less you react, the easier the month will be. Your patience may be tested, particularly with family members or colleagues, but a little tolerance goes a long way. There is no need to have the last word. Conserve your energy for the things that matter; and get enough rest to avoid running yourself down.
Carry the Rooster Amulet or Ksittigarbha’s Fireball Amulet to keep relationship tensions under control. Place a Long Life Vase with Ling Zhi beside your bed to protect against illness.
BOAR – Arguments and disagreements
1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007, 2019
Your normally easy-going nature comes under pressure this month. Innocent remarks can easily be misunderstood and situations that begin as small differences of opinion have a way of growing into something much bigger. Resist the temptation to explain yourself repeatedly or prove your point. Sometimes saying less achieves far more. Also a month to be more discerning about who you trust and what you commit yourself to. Avoid making promises you may later regret, and don’t allow yourself to be drawn into other people’s disagreements. The more you keep life simple, the smoother the month will unfold.
Carry the Ksittigarbha Fireball Amulet to suppress quarrelsome energies and protect your relationships.
