April 4th takes us into the month of the Metal Dragon, the last month of spring in the Chinese calendar, and the fifth seasonal marker of the year, “Clear and Bright”, with Yang gaining over Yin after achieving equality at the equinox. We’re now in a transitional time of the year, an in-between season ruled by Earth, the element of the Dragon. Both the astrology and Feng Shui charts of April 2020 suggest a slight relief from the intensity of March 2020’s clash of elements and duplicate stars.

March 5 takes us into the first day of the Earth Rabbit month, the second month of the year of the Rat in the Chinese solar calendar. We’re now in the middle of spring, in a two-week seasonal marker called “Insects Stir”, one of the most beautiful times of the year, with Yang continuing to rise, awakening the natural world from its slumber. Yin and Yang will soon be back in balance when we reach spring equinox in the second half of the month.
