AUGUST 2024, FENG SHUI FLYING STARS & CHINESE ASTROLOGY FORECAST
Welcome to the Mid-Year of the Wood Dragon Energy!
This month’s energy sees Yang Water on a Metal Monkey and begins on 7th August @ 8:11 am until 7th September @ 11:13am.
It’s hard to believe we are halfway through the Chinese year and still have a bumpy ride ahead with many movement and changes as the Monkey is a travel star.
The Monkey’s best friend is the Snake, which rules next year, so these transitions and changes will be felt strongly right up to February 4th, 2025. Next year’s Snake is also associated with travel where this influence will be even more pronounced.
The Monkey combines with this year’s Dragon, and both enjoy the company of the Rat, creating a strong Water trine. The Yang Water on top is supported by the Metal Monkey energy, turning this month into a tsunami of shifts, changes and hidden information rising to the surface. Imagine open floodgates and trying to surf or navigate against the rush of water.
With such an imbalance of water this month, it can manifest as excessive fear or recklessness, a bit like trying to surf a tidal wave if you’re not careful.
With so many changes and information surfacing this month, we need to stay calm to create a sense of inner peace and bravery. Water brings wisdom, intelligence and communication. Use this month to be proactive with projects that need to be finished. Expand your skills and talents, communicate with integrity and be kind and considerate to those around you.
Let’s harness the energy of this dynamic period to make the most out of the opportunities that come our way. Embrace the wisdom and adaptability that Water brings and ride the wave of change with courage and grace.

Health Tips for August 2024
This August, we’re experiencing Yang Water on Metal Monkey. In Chinese Medicine, Yang Water represents the bladder and legs, while Metal Monkey symbolizes the colon and lungs. With metal supporting water, the water element is particularly strong this month.
As we’ve all noticed, there’s been a lot of rain and dampness recently. This excess dampness can weaken our digestive and lung systems, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, coughs, mucus in the lungs, and swollen legs.
To stay healthy this month, try these tips:
- Dry Mandarin Peel Tea with Pearl Barley: Dry mandarin peel helps dry dampness, clear lung phlegm, and aid digestion. Pearl barley drains dampness through urination, reducing swelling.
- Moxa Sticks: Warming up the abdomen with moxa sticks can strengthen the spleen and lung energy while drying dampness.
- Dietary Adjustments: Cold and sweet foods/drinks, and dairy products as they increase dampness and mucus.
By incorporating these practices, you can help balance the strong water element this month and support your overall wellness. Stay dry and healthy!
