During this Fire Tiger Month,
The Rat is drawn on,
The smart Ox lies low,
The Tiger contains himself,
The wise Rabbit holds back and trusts,
The Dragon focuses on timing,
The Snake highlights the Truth,
The Horse runs but not amok,
The Sheep pushes doors and they open,
Monkeys get real.
The Rooster is decorous,
The Dog looks on.
while
The Pig feels crowded but needs (and gets) space.

Who’s in charge?: the Fire Tiger Month, 2019.
An interesting thing about the Pig is that its Elemental make-up is identical to the Dragon. Which makes this in many ways the Dragon’s year. The Dragon’s yin/yang balnce is different however, so they/he/she will have to time things right. Watch the World’s leading Dragons Nancy Pelosi (Metal) & Marianne Williamson (Water) for pointers. In 2020 they take over. Both women – who’d have thought it?
The Dalai Lama was right: the World will be saved by Western women. Observe the above but watch out for the real playmakers, the Rabbits, Dragons, Snakes, Horse and Sheep of 1987-1999. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez for instance, And Rutger Bergman.
February – the most helpful month for Pigs btw – is when these and indeed most Dragons face pivotal decisions – globally, domestically, romantically, commercially and other. Which could so easily go wrong. If we can own that we get the leaders we deserve (that is on some level we chose them, whatever we tell ourselves) we may have reached peak-Trump (& peak-Brexit). If not, maybe not. There’ll be another fork in the road in early August when the yang Metal of the Monkey Month sparks the last of the Fire season. And at that time, at least for vested interests, the runes do not look helpful. And the coming financial collapse will be obvious by then. Not btw that that is altogether bad news.If it’s not obvious that would be bad news indeed.
Meanwhile in this Fire Tiger month in this Earth Pig year, here’s what you have to look forward to:
Ox: on the back burner and relieved to be there. Quiet time till July. Not the time to gamble. Use your extreme sensitivity er….sensitively.
Tiger: Famously powerful, notoriously variable, Tigers tend to get their own way this month. For better or worse; use that power wisely, Tigers often not so great at active listening.
Rabbit: profitable to both gamble and gambol. It’s a 2nd-in command kind of month.
Dragon: Timing! There is, to coin a phrase, a time for every purpose under Heaven.
Snake: Neither Pig nor Tiger on your side. Simple truth your best guide.
Horse: one of your most supportive times. Run wild, run free, but perhaps not rampant.
Sheep: loyal cohort of the Pig. Doors start to open for you now. Push.
Monkey: butt of Tiger, adversary of Pig; best keep your head down & mind your own business. Poorly phrased/ timed jokes may backfire. Zip it!
Rooster: confusing; bountiful prey but little agreement from your peers. Manners!
Dog: The most loyal, the most stubborn; the most immovable, the most restless. You choose. Pig is a whole year when you’d do well to be alert. Know who your friends are.
Pig: self-clash. You need space, also compassion. Know the difference between enthusiasm and the gang mentality.
Rat: yang Water in a yin Water year, now confronted with pure yang Wood; under-powered. Best to work within those limitations.
Final note: the above are very simplistic assessments. No astrological analysis, especially such a brisk one will ever do you full justice. You always have choice, you are as a wise man once said to me, the camera not the crisis. Nothing I or anyone else can advise will free you from the necessity to make decisions.
The best way to wring value from these brief prognostications, remains to identify not only your Year Animal but those of Month, Day & Hour. You are – astrologically speaking – a cocktail of these and it’s as unlikely that all four will be compromised at any given time as it is that they will all be blessed.

Where to be in February.
Summary: turbulent, productive.
East, Determination: Year Star: 6 Month Star: 9.
The ego has landed. 9 and 6 are a volatile combination. Turbulent but pretty fertile. As the 6 beds in, expect action in the East – of the map, the house and your greater environment – to feature clashes of titans. It’s macho again but contention now is between adult male peers rather than generations. Again this could well be quite productive but it’s not likely to be comfortable or easy to watch. Take special care of feet, head, Eldest Son and Fathers.
Mitigate/Exploit: Earth: rose quartz – large or handful of tumblestones.
Where not to be in February.
Summary: Poor all year.
South West, Accumulation: Year Star:5, Month Star: 8.
The Annual 5 or wu huang makes this the location to avoid all year. A Master (or Mistress) Bedroom here will be asking for troubled affairs of the heart; an office for administrative or HR issues. Briefly: don’t enter locate or face South West if there is an alternative. If your front door is South West, aim to enter another way.
And finally to get the best of it, around six times this year activate the Monkey as part of the Four Point Activation – get the timing right. Otherwise evacuate and keep this area quiet.
Mitigate: t’ang lung.
