Your BaZi birth monthDog month (Cold Dew to Start of Winter)

The Dog month is the transitional Earth period at the end of autumn: dry soil storing Fire and Metal. Those born now tend to be loyal, responsible and protective of what they believe in. Earth gains strength and the chart gains backbone.

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. October 18 falls in the period of Cold Dew: the dew turns cold.
