The eighth solar month (酉月, Rooster Month) places Star 4 Green Wood (academic and romance) in the centre. A favourable month for examinations, marriage formalisation, and visible recognition events. Particularly significant as it falls in the autumn examination window.
About the Rooster Month (酉月) in 2027
The Rooster Month (酉月, Bailu ~Sep 8 to Hanlu ~Oct 8) places the 4 Green Wood Star in the centre — the academic and romance star concentrated at the home’s qi reservoir. Combined with the year-level 4 Green Wood still in the South, the month doubles the academic-and-romance register household-wide.
For students preparing for autumn examinations (university intake examinations, professional certifications scheduled for autumn), this is the year’s strongest examination-favourable month. Time intensive study blocks for the Rooster Month, set the study desk in the South or in the centre, and pair the actual examination dates with date selection.
For marriage formalisation, the Rooster Month is favourable for ceremonies and engagement parties — the academic-romance register supports formal commitments held in the centre or South-located venues.
The Rooster is the central branch of the Metal trinity holding the year’s San Sha. Rooster-born occupants face their personal birth month within trinity-affliction year — pair major decisions with date selection. The combination of personal-month register plus year-level San Sha pressure makes this a month for pairing major Rooster decisions with personalised consultation.

Frequently asked questions
When does the Rooster Month (酉月) start in 2027?
The Rooster Month begins at Bailu (~Sep 8) — 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.
