Full Moon Alchemy: Serpent's Spiral of Transformation

As I do my weekly show, bringing in the Four Pillars of Chinese Astrology - Bazi Charts - This is a once-in-a-lifetime day to release the skin of who you are and rise into who your soul has always been becoming.

At first I only looked at the week ahead, then in all my excitement after "seeing" the days chart (and you will soon learn why) I decided to add in the hour.

I was NOT just looking at a Triple Snake Portal — this is a Quadruple Snake Alignment:

• 🐍 Yin Wood Snake Year (乙巳)

• 🐍 Yin Metal Snake Month (辛巳)

• 🐍 Yin Metal Snake Day (辛巳)

• 🐍 Yin Water Snake Hour (癸巳)

This is a cosmic spiral of serpent medicine — an ultra-rare 4x Snake activation — a full shedding, cycle breaking, and spiritual recalibration moment. Each layer of time (year, month, day, hour) is reflecting a different facet of the Snake archetype, offering us a profound portal for:

• 🐍 Inner Alchemy (Metal Snake Day/Month)

• 🌿 Spiritual Growth (Wood Snake Year)

• 🌊 Mystic Revelation (Water Snake Hour)

This is a powerful moment that deserves a deep Bazi dive. With the Quadruple Snake Alignment across all four pillars — Year, Month, Day, and Hour — we are in a highly charged portal of transformation, spiritual alchemy, and karmic unraveling.

Let’s break down each of the Four Pillars (with Stem + Branch) for Monday, May 12, 2025, through a Bazi lens:

🐍 YEAR PILLAR: Yin Wood Snake (乙巳)

• Heavenly Stem: Yin Wood (乙) – Flexible, climbing, growth through gentleness

• Earthly Branch: Snake (巳) – Fire element with hidden Metal & Earth

• Theme: Spiritual Initiation + Soul Evolution

This year brings subtle but determined growth. Yin Wood symbolizes tender shoots pushing through stone — gentle yet unstoppable. Paired with the Snake, this is about evolving through wisdom, not force. It supports inner work, releasing karma, and reclaiming ancestral wisdom. The Wood/Fire interplay initiates spiritual rebirth.

🐍 MONTH PILLAR: Yin Metal Snake (辛巳)

• Heavenly Stem: Yin Metal (辛) – Precision, value, clarity

• Earthly Branch: Snake (巳) – Fire as dominant element

• Theme: Refinement through Fire – Cutting Away Illusion

This month is about cutting cords and polishing the spirit. Yin Metal is likened to jewelry, precious and purposeful. But Metal melts in Fire — so this is an intense month of ego dissolution, burning away old structures to reveal your inner truth. Think: soul-forging.

This Month Pillar mirrors the Day Pillar — doubling the heat, intensity, and transformation.

🐍 DAY PILLAR: Yin Metal Snake (辛巳)

• Heavenly Stem: Yin Metal (辛) – Delicate strength, hidden resilience

• Earthly Branch: Snake (巳) – Passion, wisdom, seduction, mystery

• Theme: Personal Alchemy – Truth, Power & Shedding Old Skins

This is your personal pillar for the day — and it directly reflects the themes of the month. There’s a spotlight on your inner world. You may feel the need to release layers that have protected you but are now limiting. The Snake brings hidden wisdom from beneath the surface — it requires solitude, intuition, and truth-telling.

There’s also potential for deep emotional or psychic transformation, especially under the Scorpio Full Moon.

🐍 HOUR PILLAR: Yin Water Snake (癸巳)

• Heavenly Stem: Yin Water (癸) – Dreaming, intuition, subconscious flow

• Earthly Branch: Snake (巳) – Fire with hidden Metal & Earth

• Theme: Subconscious Purification + Dream Activation

The hour reflects what’s gestating in the soul and the subconscious — and Yin Water Snake is the mystic within. Yin Water represents subtle flow, dreams, visions, and emotional perception. When carried by the Snake, this energy becomes psychically potent, even prophetic.

Expect spiritual messages, emotional clearing, and deep subconscious activation — especially as this is the hour of the Full Moon in Scorpio, a water sign.

🔮 The Greater Pattern: The Serpent Spiral

All four Snake pillars create a serpent coil through time:

• 🌱 Yin Wood Snake – Initiation of Soul Growth

• 🔥 Yin Metal Snake – Refined Transformation

• 🧿 Yin Water Snake – Mystical Revelation

This isn’t just transformation — it’s a sacred shedding that echoes through all layers of time: karmic (year), collective (month), personal (day), and spiritual (hour).

🧘‍♀️ Integration Guidance

Questions to Ask:

• What soul skin am I ready to shed?

• Where have I clung to old power systems out of fear or habit?

• What mystical wisdom wants to emerge from my dreams or emotions?

Ritual Suggestions:

• Create a Snake Spiral altar with four candles (East = Year, South = Month, West = Day, North = Hour)

• Burn an old belief or fear on paper during the Full Moon

• Journal after waking — dream insights will be potent
