Your BaZi birth monthOx month (Minor Cold to Start of Spring)

The Ox month is the transitional Earth period at the end of winter: frozen ground storing the strength to wait for spring. Those born now tend to be patient builders who bloom later in life. The chart tends to be cold, so Fire (warmth) is often the key to good fortune.

BaZi (the Four Pillars of Destiny) divides the year into twelve months by the 24 solar terms, and the branch of your birth month sets the season of your chart. January 8 falls in the period of Minor Cold: the cold sets in.
