In the Ziwei annual chart, the Destiny Palace moves to the Children Palace with Tianji as the main star, indicating a year of careful deliberation, with much energy spent on juniors, subordinates, or children. The Migration Palace sees the Sun transforming into fortune—favorable for travel, and you may encounter noble people abroad. In the Wealth Palace, Ziwei transforms into authority, giving you a strong desire to manage money, but beware of hidden Pojun activity; in investments, defend rather than attack. In the Fortune Palace, Tianliang transforms into fame, offering spiritual or philosophical comfort to your mind. In the overall interaction of annual stars, the Career Palace sees Wuqu and Qisha, indicating breakthrough through change, but you must guard against interpersonal gossip and leave leeway in all matters.

In the Bingwu year, the stem Bing is the Seven Killings for the Shen Monkey, and the branch Wu is the Direct Officer, creating a mixture of officer and killing. If your natal chart combines Shen-Zi-Chen or Shen-Chen, there is a chance of forming a Shui (Water) bureau; but if Zi and Chen are absent, Wu fire directly controls Shen, doubling the pressure. When the year meets a Yin-Wu Fire combination, and if your chart contains Yin, the fire becomes even stronger—guard against cardiovascular problems. Wu and Shen form a hidden combination, indicating secret cooperation or under-the-table dealings, and also hidden developments in love. The year is smoother in autumn and winter when Metal and Water are strong; in spring and summer, fire and earth are parched, so keep a low profile.

In career, with Seven Killings at the head in Bingwu, workplace competition is fierce; you may meet tough opponents or pressure from superiors. Yet the Killing star also governs authority; if you respond calmly, you can turn pressure into a ladder for promotion. The first half of the year brings many changes—possibly changing jobs, transferring, or relocating; the second half stabilizes, so focus on your core business. Misunderstandings may breed rifts with colleagues and partners; communicate clearly and do not let small matters accumulate. In the third and ninth lunar months, noble people lend a hand—seize the opportunity to show your strength.

In love, Wu-Shen hidden combination suggests the possibility of a covert romance or hidden matters with your partner. Married people must mind boundaries with colleagues and friends of the opposite sex to avoid misunderstandings. Singles will not have blazing peach blossom this year, but those you meet tend to be talented and strong-willed; dating is like Mars crashing into Earth, with both sparks and friction. In the sixth and tenth lunar months, love progresses, but you must be honest with each other to go far.

In wealth, Ziwei transforming into authority in the Wealth Palace shows a strong desire to control money this year, but Wuqu and Qisha are fierce by nature; investments may suffer losses from excessive aggression. Regular income is fairly stable, but expenses rise sharply, especially for home and elder health. Do not engage in high-risk speculation or listen to others’ inside tips. In the fourth and eighth lunar months, wealth stars are stronger—seize the chance for prudent savings or mid-to-long-term investment. All year, remember to 'take profit when you see it'; do not covet the last bite of gain.

For body and mind, Wu-Shen punishment brings fire and metal in conflict; watch for respiratory, skin, or intestinal issues. With strong Bingwu fire, heart fire may rage, causing insomnia and vivid dreams. Monkeys face high mental stress this year and are prone to anxiety; spend more time in nature, practice meditation or tai chi to lower heart fire. Eat lightly, minimize spicy and fried food, and regularly check blood pressure and heart. In the fifth and eleventh lunar months, pay particular attention to health and do not overwork.

Fire refines true gold; after the swift rain comes a natural coolness. The storms of this year serve only to forge a more resilient you.
