December brings the solar month 庚子, the heart of winter and the longest night of the year.

How to read this page

In Saju, months do not start on the 1st but at the solar terms (Jie): moments when the Sun reaches specific points of its path. Each month has a pillar (a stem and a branch). We compare the month’s branch with each sign’s branch to see whether there is harmony, clash or neutrality. It is a symbolic reading, not a prediction.

The energy of the 庚子 month

The 庚子 month combines Yang Metal (庚, the Sword) with the Rat branch (子), of Water. In the cycle of the five elements, Metal nourishes Water: clarity that feeds reflection. It is the month for taking stock of the year, for rest and for honest conversations. The Rat opens the cycle of the twelve animals: symbolically, it is the dark seed from which next year will begin.

Each sign by relationship

Tailwind (三合)

🐉 Dragon · 🐒 Monkey

Signs that share the same triad of affinity with the period. It is read as an atmosphere where things flow with a little less effort; a good time to advance projects you have been preparing.

Harmony (六合)

🐂 Ox

Signs that form a complementary pairing with the period. It is described as a favorable atmosphere for agreements, collaboration and important conversations.

Doubled energy

🐀 Rat

When a sign matches the period’s sign, its energy is said to be reinforced: more prominence and also more demand on yourself. A good time to review what you truly need and look after your rest.

Clash (沖)

🐎 Horse

The sign opposite to the period. Symbolically it asks for flexibility: changes of pace, adjusted plans and conversations best held calmly. It does not mean bad luck, but a time not to force big decisions.

Calm energy

🐅 Tiger · 🐇 Rabbit · 🐍 Snake · 🐐 Goat · 🐓 Rooster · 🐕 Dog · 🐖 Pig

Signs with no special relationship to the period. A stable time, without big peaks or dips, suited to routine, order and rest.
