The ninth solar month (戌月, Dog Month) places the 6 White Metal in the centre — the authority star at the home’s qi reservoir. Decisions of structure and authority carry extra weight this month, and Dog-born occupants face their personal month in a year that punishes and breaks their branch (戌未刑, 未戌破).
About the Dog Month (戌月) in 2027
The Dog Month (戌月, Hanlu 8 Oct 2027 to Lidong 7 Nov 2027) places the 6 White Metal Star in the centre — one of the classically auspicious stars, associated with authority, benefactors and structural decision-making.
The classical reading is that authority decisions taken in this month carry extra weight in both directions: a good appointment lands well, a poor one is harder to unwind. Organisational restructuring, senior hiring, formal delegation and succession conversations belong here, paired with date selection for the specific day.
The Dog month’s branch (戌) meets the Sheep year (未) as two of the three Ox-Dog-Sheep punishment branches (戌未刑) and as a break (未戌破). Dog-born occupants face their personal month inside that configuration, and the layered pressure makes personalised consultation unusually valuable for any major decision in this window. Ox-born occupants carry a secondary pressure from the same configuration, though less concentrated than during the Sheep Month.

Frequently asked questions
When does the Dog Month (戌月) start in 2027?
The Dog Month begins at Hanlu (8 Oct 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 6 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 6 concentrates that register household-wide, making the month most active in activities and orientations aligned with the star’s classical attributes.
