The seventh solar month (申月, Monkey Month) places the 8 White Earth — the wealth star — in the centre. The strongest wealth-activation month of 2027, and the one month in which the wealth register reaches the whole household rather than one corner.
About the Monkey Month (申月) in 2027
The Monkey Month (申月, Liqiu 8 Aug 2027 to Bailu 8 Sep 2027) places the 8 White Earth Wealth Star in the centre, layering on top of the year-level 8 White in the Southeast. For the month the home’s qi reservoir itself holds the wealth register, which amplifies wealth-related activity household-wide.
This is the month to schedule major financial decisions, business commitments, investment closures and accumulation moves. Households whose Southeast is awkward to use — a different floor, a blocked or structural corner — benefit particularly, because the Monkey Month brings the wealth star to where activity naturally concentrates.
The Monkey’s branch (申) is one of the West’s three branches (申酉戌, the Metal directional group) that hold the year’s San Sha. Monkey-born occupants face their personal birth month in a year when the San Sha sits on their branch’s direction, and the two registers pull against each other: a favourable month-star over a pressured personal position. Pair major Monkey decisions with date selection.

Frequently asked questions
When does the Monkey Month (申月) start in 2027?
The Monkey Month begins at Liqiu (8 Aug 2027) — the solar term that opens the month in the Chinese solar calendar. Each feng shui month runs from one solar term to the next, with the chart shifting at the boundary.
What does Star 8 in the centre mean for this month?
The monthly central star sits in the home’s qi reservoir for the duration of the month, layering its register over the year-level chart. Star 8 concentrates that register household-wide, making the month most active in activities and orientations aligned with the star’s classical attributes.
