Age 33, 42: the Jǐ Yǒu Decade

When Cowbird's luck arrives at this forward decade, if their chart runs that way, they will enter what is called the Void stage, a time when their inner Wood energy reaches its lowest point, like winter soil waiting under snow. The decade's pillar brings Indirect Wealth, the kind of money and opportunity that flows in without being directly earned; windfalls, gifts, sudden openings. Yet this earth element sits as Taboo in their chart, meaning the decade asks for careful attention; the gifts will come with tests. There is also a clash between this decade's Rooster and their natal Rabbit, creating friction that may shake loose old patterns or relationships, clearing ground for what wants to grow. The paradox here is that loss and gain move together; what falls away makes room for what arrives. They are not powerless in this chapter, but they are being remade, and the generosity of the universe will arrive most clearly to those who do not cling to how things were.
