April 2023 - Bing 丙 Chen 辰~ Fire Dragon is a month that a brings in the element of fire thats been a bit absent over the last few months. The fire however is a bit short lived since it's only visiting for the next 2 months but it does take us into the season of Summer which is the essence of Fire. This fire energy may be a relief to those that benefit from fire energy and can restore a bit of passion & excitement you may have been missing recently.
The fire dragon is the imagery of the sun rising over a mountain top, providing light to the mountain, nourishing life and proving warmth. It's a creation cycle of Fire (heavenly stem) creating earth - Dragon (earth branch)
Feng Shui Focus: Creativity & Passion
With the month being a "output" month that means the theme in general can be creativity. You may find yourself feeling like you want to take in the finer things in life like a symphony, visit museums or learn about food or wine. Take the time to enjoy the little things in life as well. Embrace the fire energy to restore lost passion, inspiration and happiness.

How will this element of YANG FIRE this month impact my Daymaster Element?
Looking at the DAY you're born, look at the element on TOP of the animal sign:
Water- Fire is waters "wealth" element- For a male, this is also your wife or girlfriend element. Single guys can look for connection over the next couple of months, while all fire day masters can enjoy the wealth element in terms of financial gain or opportunity, This sometime comes in the form of working harder or putting in more hours on the job for that fat paycheck. You may also feel the need to dive into work or work is your main focus. Be sure to enjoy a bit of fun too, don't get overworked.
Wood- Wood fuels fire, Fire is Woods Output: The wood day master may again feel more inspired or motivated this month with some fire appearing to "fuel" you. Enjoy the inspiration and embrace new ideas.
Fire- Seeing two of the same elements means this is you friend element : The "friend element" is always a tricky on IMO. If we think of friends in real life we have one of two types of friends, our real supportive friends or friends that are indifferent, don't care much about our troubles or sometimes at the very worst, plot to harm you- ie. "fake friends" or the" frenemy" Likewise when the "friend element" comes up it can be supportive and beneficial but other times it's competitive in nature. The YANG fire may see more support and for the YIN fire DM you may feel the competitiveness more or see more competition in business. Sometimes it just makes us compare ourselves or feel the need to keep up with our peers. Avoid overspending to keep up appearances.
Earth- Fire creates earth, fire is earths resource element : Seeing the element that grows or produces you means you can feel or see additional support, mimicking the energy of the Fire dragon with fire creating and nourishing earth. Help is there when we need it if we look, and sometimes we can be the one that helps others.
Metal- Fire controls metal, metal is influence element : The female metal day master looking for love may attract some attention this month. Have friends set you up or put yourself out there to meet new people. This month may be one where you feel a bit more stress or pressure, just think of how fire impacts metal, it molds and refines it but the process isn't always easy. A strong Bazi (if you're metal born in fall season- Sept, Oct, Nov.) means you rise to the challenge and are unfazed by adversity, can handle anything that comes your way. Power though any setbacks & you'll be just fine.

Animal Signs and Astrology:
How will this energy impact me?
This energy impacts you depending on where it falls in your natal chart, remember you have 4 animal or zodiac signs. Take note of where the animal sign falls and that is the area it has potential to impact.
Year: Social circle, friends and community
Month: Career, or parental relationships
Day: Health, relationship
Hour: Thoughts, feelings, emotions, relationship with children
Grand Duke
Dragon : Anytime an animal sign that is in your natal chart is present for the year/month, it can feel more stressful as you feel like you're more visible or "seen". Make choices carefully during these times.
Zodiac Combinations & Interaction-
Some of the Zodiac signs pair together to make special combinations. These combinations make an element that dominates the energy.
Combine-
Rat & Monkey: Water element dominates when this trio appears, dominating the fire energy of the month. Emotions & restlessness sometimes occur around a dominating water energy. Take time to work through & recognize you may be feeling more sensitive.
Harmony-
Rooster: The Dragon combining with the Rooster means clashing energy for the year is taken away for the month. This can bring you some relief if you’ve had any setbacks. Take advantage of April and May combinations and try to make head way in any areas you feel have had trouble with since February.
Seasonal-
These are the animal signs that make up the season of Spring (Tiger, Rabbit & Dragon). All 3 animal signs should be present to form combination to make the element of Wood.
I've recently came to understanding the importance of seasonal combinations in a natal chart. The presence of this combination has the potential to make you very strong, show wealth opportunity etc.
Tiger & Rabbit : The presence of Tiger in your natal chart is dominated by this seasonal combination since its a Rabbit Year in a Dragon month. The wood energy of the season of spring is working for you. This combo is the most dominate and can indicate connection and financial opportunity if the work has been put in, it may be time to collect. If wood is your wealth element, you could see significant opportunities or financial benefits this Month.
Clash:
The CLASH animal sign! This is the animal sign that directly opposes the governing energy.
Dog:
There wont be a true clash since the Dog zodiac signs combines with Rabbit the entire year. No worries for those born under the signs of the Dog.
Feng Shui:
Flying Stars - Best Sectors & Cures :
Best Sectors & Flying stars -
Best Sectors-
South: Flying stars are good with the 1-8 combo for the month- general use of the sector is good for drumming up business. Work in the sector, no activations
West: The west also has a luck combo of 6-8 flying stars good for money making- use the sector to place employees or make client calls, follow up on leads etc, this combo is good for getting more work.
Northeast: Be cautious of the 7-9 combination we get here, however working in the sector can prove quite good for sales.
Worst sectors: Avoid over activation of these areas, general use is fine.
Southeast- The 5 Star visiting the East is a bit controlled in the southeast, so no need to place cures here.
North: The 2 illness star can be problematic in the north- A salt water cure should do the trick for the month. Remove and throw away around May 5th.
Avoid renovation for the month in these sectors
South & Southwest: Wu Ji Sha (5 Tiger Sha-2023) has the ability to cause issues when you activate the area & do renovations. General use of the sector is ok but avoid anything extra in this sector. Monthly 3 killings is also present.
East: The Grand Duke (Tai Sui) is where the energy governing the year sits, 2023- East (Rabbit) avoid renovations
West, Southwest & Northwest: The yearly and monthly san sha or "3 killings" for the year resides here, if activated by digging or renovation they can cause issues like illness, loss of money or losing valuables. These energies are only activated by renovation, avoid in this sector. The Northwest also governs the Dog energy that is also the month breaker & clashes the Dragon.
Southeast: The Tai Sui for the month.
**Renovations can be done in some sectors using date and time selection specific to your home. Please consult a professional to star renovations in the sectors.
