Your BaZi birth monthGoat month (Minor Heat to Start of Autumn)

The Goat month is the transitional Earth period at the end of summer: dry, warm soil still holding Fire. Those born now tend to be caring, patient and supportive behind the scenes. Earth gains strength and the chart gains stability.

BaZi (the Four Pillars of Destiny) divides the year into twelve months by the 24 solar terms, and the branch of your birth month sets the season of your chart. July 21 falls in the period of Minor Heat: the real heat begins.
