August 2027 Flying Stars
August 7, 1:26 PM – September 7, 4:28 PM (US Eastern). Sign and seal: the Metal months begin.
August 2027 at a glance
The Earth Monkey month opens the year’s Metal season, when its missing structure becomes available. This is the time to sign contracts, finalize deals and put agreements in writing. The 8 White sits in the Center with the 9 Purple, a lucky pairing for money and family gatherings at the heart of the home. Be careful in the Southwest, where the monthly 5 Yellow joins the Tai Sui sector, and in the Northeast, where the monthly 2 Black meets the annual 3 and the Sui Po. The Northwest (1 with 9) supports career moves.
