7th Sep – 7th Oct for Month of Wood Rooster

Governed by Yi Wood (乙) over the Rooster branch (酉), we begin a transition from the brightness of Yang to the encroaching stillness of Yin. It’s the 7th Lunar Month, popularly known as Ghost Month, not merely in folklore, but also in its energetic tone: introspective, transformative, and at times, unsettling. This month tests your growth, resilience, and ability to redirect energy when feeling overextended.

4 powerful Shen Sha stars accompany us:

General Star sharpens our leadership instincts.

Three Stages raises visibility and status but watch for jealousy.

Relief Star helps you maneuver out of tight spots.

Golden Lock brings material blessings to those who endure.

Here’s a simple guide on how to find your Day Master in your chart.

Step 1: Generate Your Bazi Chart

To begin, you’ll need a Bazi chart calculator (many free ones are available online). Enter your date, time, and place of birth, and the tool will generate your Four Pillars: Year, Month, Day, and Hour.

Step 2: Locate the Day Pillar

Look at your Bazi chart. The third column from the left is your Day Pillar.

The top character (the Heavenly Stem) is your Day Master.

Geng Metal DW / RW

Rob Wealth clashing with Direct Wealth signals possible financial competition, disruption, or loss. This month brings challenges that may pressure you to upgrade your skills or strategies to stay relevant and maintain your value.

Xin Metal – IW / FR

Collaborations may be productive, but conflicts over reward-sharing can arise. Ensure roles and expectations are clearly defined early to avoid disputes and division. Success relies on structured teamwork and aligned goals.

There is potential to express impactful opinions and ideas, supported by wisdom and knowledge. However, even valid arguments may meet resistance. Speak with clarity and let actions or time reveal the truth.

Gui Water EG / IR

You may be full of unique ideas and unconventional thinking, but struggle to communicate them effectively. Learning to connect with others emotionally and explain concepts clearly is essential for acceptance and progress.

Jia Wood RW / DO

This period demands discipline and focus. You may need to let go of unproductive habits or relationships. Success comes from aligning your actions with your strengths and staying accountable to long-term goals.

You may start seeing who truly supports your mission and who doesn’t. Evaluate your team and environment critically, and remove those who no longer contribute positively to your progress.

Your knowledge and experience can create real value for others, especially in practical matters like finances. Don’t undervalue your contributions—many are willing to pay for clarity and simplicity.

This is a good time for exploration and rediscovery. New paths can be fulfilling, but don’t lose sight of your main objectives. Maintain direction and discipline while allowing space for creativity.

Wu Earth DO / HO

This combination suggests tension between authority and personal expression. While standing out may bring change, it can also lead to resistance. Speak with purpose and be prepared for consequences that follow bold moves.

In Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), the Day Master is one of the most important element in your chart. It represents you, your core nature, personality, and how you interact with the world. Everything else in the chart (wealth, career, relationships, opportunities, challenges) is interpreted in relation to the Day Master.

Some of my readers asked me how do they use the monthly Day Master forecast which I share. If you’re new to Bazi, here’s a simple guide on how to find your Day Master in your chart.

Step 1: Generate Your Bazi Chart

To begin, you’ll need a Bazi chart calculator (many free ones are available online). Enter your date, time, and place of birth, and the tool will generate your Four Pillars: Year, Month, Day, and Hour.

Each pillar has two parts:

Heavenly Stem (top character)

Earthly Branch (bottom character)

Your Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of the Day Pillar.

Step 2: Locate the Day Pillar

Look at your Bazi chart. The third column from the left is your Day Pillar.

The top character (the Heavenly Stem) is your Day Master.

The bottom character (the Earthly Branch) represents your Day Branch (often linked to your spouse/close relationships), but for now focus on the top.

5th June – 6th July 2025 Month of Water Horse

With Ren Wu’s vibrant energy, the warm-up phase is over and it’s time to engage fully. Backed by powerful Shen Sha stars, you’re sharp, magnetic, and supported both mentally and physically. This month favors bold action, smart connections, and clear strategy. Step in with confidence because the real challenge starts now.

Intelligence Star + Study Hall: Mental clarity is sharp; learning feels effortless.

Peach Blossom Star: Your presence attracts—use it to build powerful alliances.

Tai Ji Nobleman: Strategic thinking is elevated; step back to see the bigger picture.

Heavenly Chef + Doctor: Energy, healing, and vitality are on your side.

Ren Water FR / DW
Some systems perform best together and so do people. This month highlights the power of shared effort (FR + DW), where teamwork drives stronger results than going solo. But collaboration only works with clear communication. Align goals early to avoid wasted effort and maximize collective success.

Gui Water RW / IW
In saturated spaces, competing on speed and price leads to burnout and buyer fatigue. To stand out, shift from selling harder to connecting deeper. Infuse your brand with story, creativity, and meaning because lasting loyalty comes from how you make people feel, not just what you offer.

Jia Wood IR / HO
This month sparks fresh energy of curiosity, inspiration, and a wave of new ideas but not everyone will share your enthusiasm. Share your excitement with those who get it. You don’t need everyone to understand, just the right few who do.

Yi Wood DR / EG
Some ideas just need the right moment and this might be it. Pull out that concept you’ve been holding back.
With the right energy and action, what once felt too early could now take root and thrive. Ideas need action, commitment, and the right environment to grow.

Bing Fire 7K / RW
High-pressure energy calls for clear strategy and not reactive moves. Skip the noise and focus on your strengths.
Serve your core audience well while others burn out in the chaos. In the end, it’s the prepared and not the aggressive who win.

Ding Fire DO / FR
In today’s world, it’s easy to follow directions without thinking but blind trust can lead to costly mistakes. Great leadership guides with responsibility. Smart followership stays alert and engaged. Whether you’re leading or following, awareness is non-negotiable.

Wu Earth IW / DR
Opportunity alone isn’t enough as it needs structure and insight to become lasting value. In Bazi, Indirect Wealth (IW) symbolizes opportunity, but it needs the balance of Direct Resource (DR)’s wisdom, planning, and research to create lasting value. This month, balance ambition with wisdom. Unfocused energy can overwhelm; guided power creates real results.

Ji Earth DW / IR
Stable income isn’t built on one skill, it’s supported by many. This month, the energy urges you to understand the full picture: what drives your revenue, where the leaks are, and what systems need reinforcing. Lasting income comes from mastering the foundation and not just your favorite part of it.

Geng Metal EG / DO
Great ideas mean little without readiness. The EG–DO combination this month shows the Geng Day Master that creativity is valuable but only if paired with discipline and consistent practice. This month urges you to sharpen your skills, refine your tools, and stay prepared because when pressure hits, it’s too late to train.

Xin Metal HO / 7K
This month’s energy may stir urgency and emotion. The intense energy (HO + 7K) can trigger overreactions and emotional noise. The Xin Day Master needs to have clarity in a noisy environment. Pause before reacting. In crisis, calm focus leads to real solutions.

5th May – 4th June month of Metal Snake

This Snake Month in a Snake Year marks a powerful turning point. Tension is rising, and internal clashes may surface. But with supportive energies like Relief God, Heaven Relief, and Golden Carriage, breakthroughs are possible if you stay calm and strategic. It’s a prime time for business shifts, high-level networking, and long-term positioning. If you have the Pig in your chart, expect emotional turbulence due to clash with the Month energy.

Jia Wood DO / EG
This month, don’t chase every idea. Instead, nurture the ones that truly align with your goals. Scattered efforts lead nowhere. Choose your strongest concept, create a clear plan, and execute it with discipline. Timing and preparation are key as success comes to those who stay focused and ready.

Yi Wood 7K / HO
Loudness grabs attention, but real strength lies in timing and control. Not every moment calls for a big move. If the journey isn’t over, conserve your energy because lasting impact comes from precision, not noise.

Bing Fire DW / FR
This month highlights the power of teamwork. True success is built together and how you share recognition matters. Give credit where it’s earned, uplift genuine contributors, and lead in a way that makes others want to build with you again.

Ding Fire IW / RW
This month, your power lies in starting, not finishing. You may not get the credit, but your role as the initiator is crucial. Lead with clarity, let go when it’s time, and trust that true influence is built through quiet consistency, not constant visibility.

Wu Earth HO / IR
This month is about refining yours and others’ potential. Like a sculptor or mentor, your power lies in identifying what truly stands out and sharpening it. Focus on one clear, standout strength, and let that become the message that leaves a lasting impact.

Ji Earth EG / DR
This month, focus not just on creating something meaningful but on making sure others can see its value too. Deep knowledge matters, but true impact comes when your vision resonates beyond yourself.

Geng Metal RW / 7K
This month, small oversights can cause big setbacks. It’s not about building more stuff but it’s about maintaining what you’ve already built. Follow up to check in, and make sure things are running smoothly. Success often goes to those who simply show up and stay reliable.

Xin Metal FR / DO
This month is about strategic partnerships that amplify impact. True leadership means knowing who adds value and who doesn’t. Curate your team, define roles clearly, and protect your mission by removing what holds it back. Elevation starts with alignment.

Ren Water DR / IW
Sharing what you’ve learned costs you nothing and saves others time, mistakes, and uncertainty. In a world where people seek guidance over guesswork, your insight is a powerful, renewable resource. Keep offering it to those who are ready will recognize its value.

Gui Water IR / DW
Your many talents are valuable but without focus, they can scatter your progress. Lasting success comes from choosing a path, committing to it, and turning your potential into real, consistent results. That’s what earns trust, credibility, and impact.

In 2025, Ji Day Masters will experience a transformative year marked by courage, learning, and self-empowerment. The energy of Seven Killing will bring courage, pushing Ji Day Masters to take bold steps and face challenges head-on. The presence of Direct Resource energy signifies a year of deepening knowledge and gaining valuable experience. Ji Day Masters are encouraged to actively seek out new learning opportunities and apply their knowledge in practical ways.

While the aggressive energy of Seven Killing might seem daunting, it provides the impetus to break through current limitations. Ji Day Masters must balance their aggressive tendencies with wisdom and strategic thinking. This year, they will learn to manage competition, handle attention, and use their experiences to grow further.

2025 promises to be an exciting and challenging year for Ji Day Masters. By embracing courage, seeking knowledge, and navigating aggression wisely, they can achieve significant breakthroughs and set the stage for future success.

As we step into 2025, those influenced by Ding Fire can expect a year filled with curiosity and opportunities for growth. The energy of Ding Fire, characterized by its feeble yet sensitive nature, will be amplified by the presence of indirect resources. This combination will make you more curious and eager to explore new areas, leading to a year of learning and self-improvement.

One of the key aspects of this year is the interaction between Yin Fire and Yi Wood. This interaction, known as the Indirect Resource, nourishes and grows you by providing valuable information and resources. However, it’s important to be mindful of overthinking and scattered thoughts, which can arise from this heightened curiosity.

You may find yourself more sensitive to the actions and successes of those around you. This can lead to a sense of competition and comparison, driven by the Rob Wealth energy. While this can be motivating, it’s crucial to avoid superficial comparisons and focus on genuine self-improvement. Use this year to study and learn from others, but ensure that your efforts are strategic and meaningful.

This year is also an excellent time for skill stacking. By adding complementary skills to your existing ones, you can enhance your overall capabilities and adapt to new challenges. Whether it’s learning about different departments within your organization or exploring new hobbies, the Indirect Resource energy will support your endeavors.

However, be cautious of senseless spending driven by curiosity and the desire to impress others. It’s essential to stay within your financial limits and make thoughtful decisions about your expenditures. Remember, the goal is to grow and improve, not to accumulate unnecessary debt.

Overall, 2025 promises to be an exciting year for Ding Fire individuals. Embrace your curiosity, seek out new knowledge, and focus on genuine growth. By doing so, you’ll be well-equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come your way.

As we step into 2025, Geng Day Masters can expect a year filled with hard work and significant opportunities. The presence of the Wealth Star in your chart indicates a year where your sense of responsibility will be heightened. Contrary to popular belief, the Wealth Star does not directly govern money but rather emphasizes the importance of diligence and effort.

This year, Geng Day Masters will find themselves willing to take on larger risks to achieve their goals. The combination of the Wealth Star and the Seven Killings star suggests that you will be more aggressive in your pursuits, whether it’s in your career, personal development, or investments. This aggressive energy can be beneficial, especially for entrepreneurs and business owners looking to expand or outmaneuver competitors.

However, it’s crucial to balance this aggressive drive with careful planning. The rush to get things done can lead to mistakes, so it’s essential to maintain a clear strategy and avoid shortcuts. Remember, the key to success this year lies in your ability to work hard, take calculated risks, and stay focused on your long-term goals.

2025 is a year of hard work and potential for Geng Day Masters. Embrace the challenges, take calculated risks, and stay diligent in your efforts. With the right approach, you can turn this year’s energy into significant achievements.

In 2025, Wu Day Masters can expect a year of growth, leadership, and discipline. The Direct Officer energy brings structure, rules, and an increase in status and authority. This energy encourages Wu Day Masters to follow a structured path to achieve their goals, making it beneficial for those seeking higher positions or aiming to enhance their leadership skills.

The Indirect Resource energy brings curiosity and a desire to broaden one’s knowledge base. Wu Day Masters will be more sensitive to their surroundings and the needs of others, making them compassionate and effective leaders.

2025 is a year for Wu Day Masters to step into leadership roles and focus on their objectives. The discipline provided by the Direct Officer energy helps them stay on track and achieve their goals in an orderly manner. By setting clear boundaries and rules for themselves, they can lead others with confidence and provide guidance in times of uncertainty.

2025 promises to be a year of growth and leadership for Wu Day Masters. By embracing the energies of the Direct Officer and Indirect Resource, they can enhance their authority, expand their knowledge, and lead with compassion and discipline.

In 2025, the year of the Wood Snake, Ren day masters will experience a year filled with opportunities and challenges. The energy of the Hurting Officer will be prominent, offering a chance to gain fame and attention. However, it’s crucial to navigate this energy wisely to avoid potential pitfalls.

The hurting officer can attract attention and stand out, which can be advantageous in today’s world. Ren day masters should focus on building a strong social media presence and engaging with their audience to leverage this attention. Sharing expertise and experiences regularly can help build a strong personal brand.

Financial gain through Indirect Wealth is also possible this year, often associated with high-risk, high-reward situations. By leveraging the attention received, Ren day masters can create opportunities to monetize their skills and talents. However, caution is necessary to avoid unnecessary risks and legal issues.

Managing intense scrutiny will be a significant challenge in 2025. It’s essential to stay mindful of actions and adhere to rules and regulations to avoid complications.

2025 holds great potential for Ren day masters. By embracing attention and leveraging it wisely, significant success can be achieved. Stay focused, be mindful of actions, and make the most of the opportunities that come your way.

2025 promises to be a prosperous and innovative year for Gui Day Masters. With all five essential elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—present in their chart, Gui Day Masters can expect a harmonious and balanced year. The wood element symbolizes creativity and innovation, while the fire element indicates opportunities for financial gain through hard work. The earth element brings power and authority, and the metal element provides support and resources. The water element, being the Gui Day Master’s own element, ensures a smooth and prosperous year.

Gui Day Masters will be brimming with innovative ideas and solutions, making them valuable assets in their professional lives. However, the year also demands effort, as the Direct Wealth element indicates that hard work will be necessary to reap the rewards. The Direct Officer element brings power and responsibility, helping Gui Day Masters grow and develop their leadership skills.
