Hey guys, if you're interested in doing a little bit more detail, you know, into Feng Shui, consider joining me for a free monthly workshop. The topic for August is going to be Feng Shui for your office.
So this not only includes like a home office, you know, working from home, but anywhere you might study in your home or an area that your kids might study in, we're going to discuss things like desk placement and some things you want to do in your office and some things you want to avoid in your office. So join me August 15th, you can register at the link below. Hey guys, welcome to the month of Bingshin or Fire Monkey. The month starts on August 7th and the 7th through the 22nd is the first cycle of G.C.E. which is just a 15-day cycle of energy and it is called coming of autumn.
This corresponds very closely to the pagan will of the year and the observance of the first harvest called Lunasa or Lomas. August 22nd through September 7th is called heat ins. So what can we expect from this month? What kind of energies come in at us? So before I start, I'm going to talk a little bit about the cycles of energy in a way that we can kind of understand what to expect from the past.
So the solar cycle, it goes in a very predictable pattern of 60 different animal signs. So we have 12 animal signs and we have 10 what are called heavenly stems or 10 elements. It's actually five different elements and a yang and a yang polarity. So it makes for a total of 10. Well, when you combine the two, you actually get a total of 60 different animal signs.
And these 60 different animals signs are the same. So it can go in a 60 year cycle, a 60 month cycle, a 60 day cycle and even 60 hours and then we can even get down to minutes and things like that. But for this purpose, this is not, you know, we don't want to look at the minutes and hours and all that. That would be way too confusing for you guys. But the point is when we take a look at these cycles of energy, we can kind of look at what is called the cycle of energy.
Like what is called a descending or, you know, a descending Chi or descending energy. And so what we can kind of look at this month and expect for this month is really going to be taking a look at how your year of 2016 went. And so when you think about that and you think about, you know, was it a good year for me, how are my relationships, how is my health and some things like that. You might get a little bit of a taste of how your 2016 went in the month of August because again, it's quite literally the month of the fire monkey. So it's a little bit of a repetition of energy.
And that's kind of how we look at some of the same things. And so we kind of how we look at some of the cycles sometimes is that repeating energy, you know, once it repeats through the 60 60 year cycles, you know, they kind of repeat once it goes through a 60 month cycle, those animals, signs will start to repeat. And so again, just kind of looking and thinking about how our 2016 went will give us a big clue into how this month is going to be. So look at the year of 2016, one of the notable things that I saw was the cases in the outbreak of that Zika virus. And so I kind of see that mirrored a little bit in our higher corona case, you know, here, I know where I live, the cases are the highest events in February.
And but on the flip side of that, one of the things that I did also see is that that is the year that they actually announced that they are fully eradicated measles here in the US. And so I even though, you know, I don't think we expect the full eradication because you know, the measles even took 22 years to eradicate. I do hope that with the development and the wide distribution of the coronavirus, hopefully the cases will start to go back down despite the variance. Another thing that was really notable in 2016 was exposing those celebrities. And so there was a lot of different people that came out and exposed different things from sexual misconduct to, you know, those leaks in the clinic.
In the Clinton emails and stuff like that, the hacking, right. And so I kind of wonder if this month we're going to see a little bit of repetition of that, maybe some information leaks, maybe some classified things were not supposed to see, we're going to see that come out in the news, you know, we're going to see maybe some different people or celebrities exposed into doing things I shouldn't be doing. So I kind of think that this month it's going to be a month where that kind of happens and we'll see a little bit of a repeat of that again. It'll be kind of interesting over the next few months to see what we can kind of look at in terms of, you know, that repetition of energy. And so I kind of think that this month will be a month for those that kind of exposure.
So I'll be curious to see what happens. So since we are going into the month of the monkey, this month is known as the Ghost Month. I'll have a whole podcast on that later on. But one of the things that we can agree on, even if you don't believe in, you know, the so-called, like, Hungry Ghosts or Ghosts, is that the energy is very stagnant this month. And so it's a month actually represented by the Yee-Jing hexagram called stagnation.
And so it's quite literally a stagnant time of year. And one of the things that's notable in the month of August, it really is that it's said that you're more susceptible to car accidents or, you know, injury and stuff like that, especially if you're born under the animal sign of the tiger. So those of you born in an animal sign of tiger be cautious this month, okay. If you're born under the sign of the rat or dragon, congratulations. This month could support you a little bit better.
If you have one of those animal signs, you could possibly benefit from it, especially if you have the element of water is favorable to you. And so if it's favorable to you, you could see a little bit more, you know, of that type of energy going on. You could see a little bit more connection. You could, you know, it could benefit you in some different ways. One thing you do probably need to be cautious of since water does, it can represent like turbulence and emotions.
So if you feel yourself being very emotional, you know, maybe that you could look and see, do you have a rat in your, you know, in your natal chart, you have a monkey in your natal chart. And because it could possibly cause excess water. So that's one caution you can take. If you don't know your animal signs, go to the link below in the show notes. And the, you follow the link to plug in your birthday and it'll calculate your animal signs out for you.
Pick for sectors in the home. It's going to be the south. The south continues to have really good energy. And so quite literally go to the south of your home and use it if you're doing things like online dating, trying to establish a presence online, you know, doing some things that are, you know, maybe you have an online interview, you can sit in the south because it really supports being seen in a favorable way, you know, it supports that for the year. And it will continue to until February.
It's just has a really good energy. And so my another pick is the west, but not for this month. And so even though the west holds what's called the wealth star for the year for the month of August, it's going to be a little bit challenging in that there's some challenging energies that come in that aren't very favorable. So skip the west. skip the west this month.
Don't, you know, activate it. Again, the south is a place where you could work, sit, you know, do your activity and even place a candle. Alright guys, don't forget to register for the workshop.
