The Month of the Wood Rooster (Yi You) begins on 7 September 2025, aligning with Lunar Day 16. Its opening is overshadowed by a lunar eclipse—an inauspicious sign for inaugurating new cycles, particularly for a solar month. The shadowed Moon suggests turbulence, interruptions, and beginnings that feel immediately tested.
The Eclipse Corridor
This lunar eclipse foreshadows the solar eclipse on 21 September 2025, intensifying the month with endings, revelations, and karmic reckonings. During this “corridor of eclipses,” avoid launching major ventures—no marriages, new businesses, or big projects. Instead, focus on closing chapters, completing unfinished work, and tying up loose ends.
Fan Yin Clash
The first day of the month reveals a clash: the daily pillar Ji Mao is countered by the monthly pillar Yi You. This interaction often signals volatility and unpredictability. Coupled with the lunar eclipse, it points toward dramatic developments continuing from last month’s Jia Shen trends.
Global Shifts & Risks
* The N-S axis is activated as the Purple White Star (PWS) #9 moves into Kan, already unstable with Geng Ji, Beast, and PWS 7. The Star 9 often acts like oil poured onto fire—raising risks of military provocations, explosions, and transport disasters, especially in coastal regions. We could see new revelations, conspiracy theories and the likes.
* Conflicts revolve around authority and politics (PWS 6, Qian trigram, father) related to controlling resources and future wealth (PWS 8, Gen trigram, younger son).
* The Star of Transformation PWS #5 flies into Qian Palace, pressuring the global political system to adapt to new realities—expect noticeable shifts in world order. Yes, so much has been said about it. Can it stay the same? According to this chart, no.
* Issues of food safety may also arise, with potential reports of contamination in meat and poultry or outbreaks affecting farm animals, particularly in Asia.
The Light Ahead
While military tensions may continue, the signs suggest a glimpse of hope toward the end of the month.
Advice for the Month
Many of these trends may play out at a personal level, which means that we all will need to adjust, mentally and emotionally.
The governing Purple White Star #4 (Wind trigram) favors education, fashion, and knowledge. This is a call to:
* Learn something new to sharpen focus and confidence.
* Stay flexible as the future is being forged now. Take part in the process
* Welcome change with curiosity—growth comes through wisdom.
