***CORRECTION: within this episode we give "Thursday 13th October" as the auspicious date for this month (and of course doesn't exist!) - the correct auspicious day is Thursday 16th October, which is the Earth Horse (with Horn and Success) energy day we recommend. So sorry for any confusion!***

Join Richard and Zoë as we dive into the shifting qi of the month—what it means for each Animal sign and, most importantly, how you can harness it to your advantage. Together, we explore the power of perfect timing (including why even Taylor Swift may choose her release dates carefully), the opportunities grown through Zoë’s ongoing home transformation, and insights on the wider world as seen through the lens of feng shui. We also uncover the explosive energy hidden in the third week of October, meet Reggie the feng shui dog, and lots more.

To explore which Animals are in your personal Ba Zi astrology chart, use the guide below or email Zoë with your birth details.
