October 2026 Saju Forecast for Each Day Master: the 戊戌 Wu Xu Month
In Korean saju (BaZi), October 2026 is the 戊戌 Wu Xu month — the Yang Earth Dog. A saju month doesn't start on the 1st: it starts at a solar term, so this month runs from Oct 8, Cold Dew (Hanlu) to Nov 7, Start of Winter (Lidong). The same month works very differently depending on your Day Master — the heavenly stem of your birth day. Here is the month for each of the ten.

What kind of month is 戊戌 Wu Xu?
The stem 戊 Wu is the heavy, dependable Earth of a great mountain (Yang Earth). The branch 戌 Xu (Dog) is the dry earth of late autumn, storing the year's harvest and keeping the embers of fire (Earth). It is the last month of autumn.
Meeting the year pillar 丙午 Bing Wu (Yang Fire Horse, 2026), it forms 午戌 Half Three-Harmony (Fire), which joins forces into one element. The theme of the year comes into sharper focus this month.
| Month begins | Oct 8, 2026, 06:29 UTC (15:29 Korea time) Cold Dew (Hanlu) |
|---|---|
| Mid-month term | Oct 23, 2026, 09:37 UTC (18:37 Korea time) Frost's Descent (Shuangjiang) |
| Next month begins | Nov 7, 2026, 09:51 UTC (18:51 Korea time) Start of Winter (Lidong) |
Solar terms are calculated astronomically. The switch happens at the same instant everywhere, so convert the UTC time to your own time zone. Before Oct 8, the previous month's energy still applies.

The same Direct Officer month can feel heavy to someone whose chart already has plenty of Officer energy, and like a welcome opportunity to someone who has none. Your full reading combines your chart with your luck cycles, this year and each month.
