H-alpha spectroscopy of the young star VY Mon is presented. Over the 1986-1992 period, VY Mon exhibited three types of H-alpha profiles in its spectrum: a profile with short-wavelength P Cygni absorption (from -200 to -300 km/s), a profile with blue emission (-230 to -300 km/s), and a profile with a single emission feature (+140 km/s). The change of profile type appears to occur on a time scale of the order of one month, and a particular type persists no fewer than four months. All three profile types can be explained in terms of constrained models of anisotropic stellar wind.
