4 Zodiac Signs That Should Be Extra Careful This Hungry Ghost Month, According To This Astrology Expert

Hungry Ghost Month is just around the corner (Aug 13 to Sep 11), bringing with it a host of traditional beliefs, customs and taboos.

According to Chinese folklore, the seventh lunar month is when the boundary between the human and spirit worlds is at its thinnest, allowing wandering spirits to return and receive offerings from the living.

In a recent Facebook video, Taiwanese astrology and tarot expert Master Xiao Meng shared the four zodiac signs he believes should be extra cautious during this period.

According to him, people born under these signs may be more susceptible to "negative energy" at night and more likely to experience "spiritual disturbances", such as unwanted supernatural encounters or unexplained physical discomfort.

He also explained why these zodiac signs are believed to be more vulnerable and highlighted places they may wish to avoid during Ghost Month.

For those who observe these traditional beliefs, here's what he had to say.

Rat & Snake

Master Xiao Meng said those born in the Year of the Rat and Snake should exercise extra caution during Ghost Month.

According to him, because both animals are nocturnal and traditionally associated with dark, damp environments, they are believed to carry stronger yin energy. As a result, people born under these signs may be more susceptible to "negative energy" and spiritual disturbances during this period.

He advises Rat and Snake natives to avoid places traditionally associated with stronger yin energy, such as beaches, riversides and mountainous areas, if they follow these beliefs.

Monkey

Master Xiao Meng said those born in the Year of the Monkey should also be more cautious during Ghost Month.

According to traditional feng shui beliefs, dense forests and heavily shaded areas are thought to accumulate stronger yin energy. He believes Monkey natives may be more susceptible to this, potentially leading to physical discomfort or minor illnesses.

His advice is to avoid dense forests and areas with large shady trees during this period if you follow these beliefs.

Pig

Master Xiao Meng said those born in the Year of the Pig should avoid messy or chaotic environments during Ghost Month.

According to traditional beliefs, cluttered spaces are thought to attract negative energy. He therefore advises Pig natives to avoid places such as clubs, bars and nightclubs, while also keeping their homes clean and clutter-free.

Whether you believe in these superstitions or not, there's no harm in respecting different traditions. After all, looking out for yourself is always good advice, no matter the month.
