The eleventh solar month (子月, Rat Month) brings the 4 Green Wood to the centre — the academic and romance star, for the second time in 2027. Favourable for study, examinations and formalising a relationship, with a personal caution for Rat-born occupants.
About the Rat Month (子月) in 2027
The Rat Month (子月, Daxue 7 Dec 2027 to Xiaohan 6 Jan 2028) places the 4 Green Wood Star in the centre for the second time in the year, after the Rabbit Month. With the year-level 4 Green Wood in the South, the academic-and-romance register is doubled household-wide.
For students sitting winter examinations or professional certifications, this is the year’s second strong preparation window: time intensive study here, set the desk in the centre or the South, and pair the examination date itself with date selection. For couples, the month supports engagements, registrations and ceremonies held in centre or South-located venues.
The Rat stands in six-harm with the Sheep TaiSui (子未相害). Rat-born occupants face their personal birth month inside their harm-with-TaiSui year, and the classical recommendation is to defer major Rat decisions out of this month where possible — even though the month-star itself is favourable. Where a decision cannot move, pair it with personalised consultation.

Frequently asked questions
When does the Rat Month (子月) start in 2027?
The Rat Month begins at Daxue (7 Dec 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 4 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 4 concentrates that register household-wide, making the month most active in activities and orientations aligned with the star’s classical attributes.
