👉🏻Ba Zi Astrology pillar report time with all copy created by a human (caution against trusting computer generated Ba Zi Chinese Astrology analysis)!😉🤓👉🏻 Dīng Yǒu 丁酉 Fire Phoenix + Bái Lù 白露 White Dew begins at 22:41 UTC+8 today in the Northern Hemisphere. This month’s pillar from my perspective is even more intense than the previous month, due to the Yin qualities. The ‘enlightenment/etiquette/manners of Yin Fire’, and ‘integrity/refined/improvement details of Yin Metal’ of the Phoenix are more amplified. Yin Metal below forces Yin Fire above to use its fire to mold, refine and beautify their Self, thoughts, presentation. Like a glass blower constantly tweaking and perfecting, this pillar is one that is about both illuminating the Self, with constant thoughts on perfecting themselves and their steps they take in the world.
It is a double whammy wrt ‘manners + enlightenment’ and ‘righteous + refined’ behaviour again. The Fire Phoenix pillar tends toward enlightenment of the Self, refinement of themselves and how they present to the world. When in balance, they are insightful people that like to have control over implementation and ex*****on with efficiency. When unbalanced, they are very self-focused and sharp with their words, behaviours and expectations on the way people should behave (due to Yin Fire AND Yin Metal and nothing else) – the daggers come out. However, this pillar personality is super spiritual due to the intensity of the double Yin forcing and inward thought perspective of passion vs perfection – sometimes to the point they may overthink. This pillar personality is also fun, playful, thoughtful, sparkle, and intelligent. They are also constantly mindful of both themselves and interactions with people.
Qiū Fēn 秋分 Autumn Equinox lands on Sep 23. The cool trend continues to heighten and it’s important to get your socks, scarves and light jackets on. Keep your Qi warm + flow going.❤️
Globally this may mean daggers poke and tempers flare. Countries-at-arms with each other may continue on with their self-focus and narrow vision.🫣 On the flip side, the intentsty of this pillar is meant to force people to look inward, and find a more enlightened and refined way forward. Here’s crossing fingers that the stars push that way for those countries and their leaders.🤞🏻
May the Qi flow with you! 🫶🏻🏄‍♀️🙏🏻

👉🏻Ba Zi Astrology pillar report is here!🤓👉🏻 Bǐng Shēn 丙申 Fire Monkey + Lì Qiū 立秋 Stand Up Fall begins at 19:42 UTC+8 today in the Northern Hemisphere. This month’s pillar from my perspective is one of ‘etiquette and integrity’. A double whammy wrt courtesy and ‘right’ behaviour. This pillar can be hardline with the way people should behave. On the flip side, this pillar helps set clear definitions and boundaries on appropriate conduct, and provides light clarity on respectful behaviour. When in balance, they are great leaders that like to have both some implementation control, and are also comfortable to be in a position of leadership. When unbalanced, they are usually irritated by injustices or behaviour not in line with their view of proper conduct, and can be very cutting with their boundaries and words when this button gets pushed. Once the wall is formed, it is not easy to break down. On another beautiful spin, these pillar personalities are fun loving, generous and jovial, witty and intelligent, and constantly are mindful of following an Integral path when in balance. Keep these people on your good side, and you’ll have an integral person by your side fighting for rectitude.
Chǔshǔ 處暑 / 处暑 End of Heat appears August 23. Get your socks and light jackets out. The heat trend is officially over. Be mindful of your health as the immune system gets taxed with the cool Qi. ❤️
Globally this may mean swords shine and slice, impulses and sparks fly, and countries-at-arms with each other may continue on with their impulse and tunnel vision. 🫣
May the Qi flow with you! 🫶🏻🏄‍♀️🙏🏻

👉🏻Your Ba Zi Astrology pillar report is here!🤓👉🏻 Yǐ Wèi 乙未 Wood Goat + Xiǎo Shǔ 小暑 Little Hot/Sweltering begins at 09:57 UTC+8 today in the Northern Hemisphere. This pillar I like to call the “Free-Will Quiet Artist” A visually confident person, strengthened by the Yǐ 乙 in the Heavens this month solidifies Wood as a rooted energy. This pillars constitution has strong vision, as well as the desire for creative expression and thought, coupled with the desire to control and implement as they wish. In addition this is a Wood-Earth controlling relationship, which breaks through any stagnation with desire to create change, movement and benevolence… and also laid-back fun! Earth in Wei provides a steady and resilient pace, with tolerance and an easy going personality. Inventive and outside the box, visionary and inspiring, this pillar personality is one of quiet leadership, leading by doing rather than saying. This is a time to recognize your vision forward, and if your helpful elements are present, know it can be done without fanfare… just do it!
Dà Shǔ 大暑 Big Hot/Sweltering make its appearance July 21 as we feel height of greater heat and humidity. Find your cooling mechanisms!😅
Globally, we may see more surging acts of impulse, implementation, and control with the intention of service to humanity, but with the narrow vision to only see the choices one way. On the flip side, keep eye and ears open to new trajectories for good causes.💁🏻‍♀️
May the Qi flow with you! 🫶🏻🏄‍♀️🙏🏻

In coming! 👉🏻Ba Zi Chinese Astrology + Lunisolar calendar insights land now 👉🏻🤓. Jiǎ Wǔ 甲午 Wood Horse and 芒種/芒种 Máng Zhòng - Feather Seed begins at 11:48pm UTC+8 today in the Northern Hemisphere. Weather report time! This pillar appears as a benevolent being, full of passion, inspiration and the gusto for justice. It is a beautiful sight, and awe-inspiring with the Yang Wood from the Heavens leading the charge of benevolence, growth and justice to humankind in the world. With the Fire of the Horse, this creates a passionate inspiring the light as they lead the charge. It may seem like a nourishing Shēng-Producing 生 relationship, however, the Fire below is influencing the Wood above, thus causing Wood to have output, and drain. This represents creative thought or sometimes, outside the box thinking, with a follow through of a quick and impulsiveness.
Eyes open! The Lunisolar node of Máng Zhòng - Feather Seed 芒種/芒种 signifies in nature the time where wheat grows ripe, millets seed, and corn is on the ear. Have a look! 👀
Globally, be aware of impulsive acts with the intention of service to humanity, but impulsively acted upon and implemented, which may come at a sabotaging cost. On the flip side, keep eye and ears open to new insight and trajectories, for good causes and helpful in end if they manage to get the notorious mind-changing Yin Fire to finish the task to completion.💁🏻‍♀️
Summer’s apex, the Summer Solstice 夏至 Xià Zhì arrives June 21.🌞 Yang Qi sunlight is at its maximum, with the longest day of the year. Enjoy! 😎.
The Dragon Boat Festival ➡️ Duānwǔjié 端午節 / 端午节 official day this year is Friday June 19. Hope you enjoy some zòngzi 粽子 🍙 as you celebrate loyalty and friendship!🐉

Weather report time! Chinese astrology + Lunisolar calendar insights land now 👉🏻🤓 Water Serpent - Guǐ Sì 癸巳 and 立夏 Lì Xià - Summer Stands begins today at 19:48 in the Northern Hemisphere. While this pillar represents a Kè-Restraining 克/剋 relationship, it is a unique beautiful one. It is a Yin Water from the Heavens 🌧️, yet Yang Fire from the Earth ☀️. One would think the Yin Water clouds would put out the fire, and block the sun, yet with a Pillar, the bottom influences the top. Thus with this pillar, the sunlight is pushing through and shining through the clouds. In the darkness, there is light. This pillar also represents creative thinking that has the ability to use their wise and intellectual knowledge, to create with bright ideas and inspiration. The only conflict that remains here is how to implement those ideas – do you follow the rules based, current order, or creating a new system. In a Fire Horse year, my bet is on a creative new way.😉 Globally, this translates to a flicker of light in a new direction, yet with a push-pull disagreement on the exact pathway forward. 💁🏻‍♀️
Lesser Fullness of Grain Xiǎo Mǎn 小滿 / 小满 begins May 21. Kernels plump, more rain comes to flood the field to grow crops. Creatures roam, corn forms.
May the Qi flow with you! 🏄‍♀️

✨ Tan Academy of Balance Celebration Day ✨

Each April, we come together for something truly special: honoring the many Tan birthdays and celebrating the graduates of our Tan Academy of Balance mentorship programs.

Today is a moment to recognize growth, dedication, and transformation — to pause, reflect with pride, and step forward with intention.

This year, we are deeply inspired by our keynote speaker, David Chan, and his talk:
🌀 “Understanding Cycles in the Face of Impermanence”

Through his remarkable journey — from psychology and clinical work to decades of teaching acupuncture and Oriental medicine — David invites us to reflect on life’s cycles, embrace constant change, and find balance within impermanence.

Today, we celebrate community.
We celebrate learning.
We celebrate evolution.

And above all, we celebrate each and every one of you who is part of this journey 💛
