Lunar Month: WATER GOAT 6
The Wood Goat, a little girl kid, lends a soft grounded context for us this year; Still very new, maturing quickly and playfully, sincere and disciplined. Herd up, slough off what no longer serves your appetite, compost and go fresh.
Water Goat Month
"Water Goats are talkative, sentimental and persevering characters. Their emotional attachments to people and things cloud their wisdom. Their consideration of others undermines their success. Egalitarian idealists they work very hard ‘against all odds.’ Their generosity is unfailing. Rarely thanked for their work they nevertheless are strong helpers. They are often robbed or make poor judgements in financial matters and their fortune does not smooth out until old age (60+). Though rarely ill their illness tends to be complex and hard to diagnose and/or treat."
LM Notes
Qi Node: 10 Little HeatIn Slight or Small Heat qi node Yang begins its inevitable decline but growth is extended. The weather turns mild. Fruits and vegetables are abundant. Cicadas and crickets choruses are heard day and night. Twilight is beautiful. Barns bulge with the abundance. The Prince ascends the throne (yang matures) and becomes King. What will Yang's legacy be? Is it survival at any cost (brutishness) or the fullness of true and elegant majesty (wisdom)?
Lunar Hexagram 33 Dun: Pig
"Dun tells us that limitations and seclusion are not necessarily bad. It shows how restrictions can be made into opportunities. Dun is the story of a successful 'come-back'. Through modesty (not pretending) and simply nourishing yourself even imprisonment can be made a basis of success. It also reminds us that limited circumstances (small) can often be a fertile ground for success."

TUESDAY July 21, Earth Dog 6
22 Bi: Ornament - The House, Level -
Today there is solid footing. Though youthful and inexperienced, opportunities are ready and available, it's time to move out of the nest. It is auspicious for new things, buildings, contracts, marriages and fengshui adjustments. Stretch your wings and socialize. Simple and elegant decor is appropriate. "Burials on this day are celebrated by both the living and the dead (bring great wealth)." LM Note/Lunar It is inauspicious to procrastinate, wait or be confrontational.
Lunar Hexagram 50 Ding: Tri-Pod
"If we express and demand harmony with grace and sincerity we have a chance at the great non-dualistic feeling of reality... It is a time of education and great spiritual and material success. Don't rush. Your superiors notice you. Opportunity is abundant. Alliances are offered to you on all sides."

WEDNESDAY July 22, Earth Pig 7
63 Jiji: Already Across - The Wall, Settle -
The solid footing of yesterday expands to include new alliances, opens further to embrace "the collective integrity and authenticity of a nation." LM Notes/Lunar "Tradition, convention, training, education - all forms of readiness, inspire action." LM Notes/Solar Good for building, remodels, fengshui adjustments, business, contract signing, marriage, journeys, exercising and socializing. Today also offers the notion of preparations for tomorrow, once the river has been crossed, "there is still more to do." LM Zhouyi It is inauspicious to withdraw or enter retreat.
THURSDAY July 23, Metal Rat 8
37 Jia Ren: Household - The Stride, Maintain -
Now that the offense has had a few days of momentum, put efforts towards shoring up the defense, storing up for winter, solidifying and celebrating new allies. It is auspicious for medical treatments, routine business, banking and planning, NOT speculating. Let any worries hone in your street smarts, guard your resources and feel the greater pulse of your entire community. A good day for appreciating grandmothers, let their memories flood your entire day.
FRIDAY July 24, Metal Ox 9
Consult the Oracle - The Mound, Destroy -
The indicators of today tell of a cooling mist in the summer time, "the benefit that comes from a long line of causes (Mound being the tomb of royal ancestors), the continuity of a long life and for family generational harmony. It governs a sense of inheritance, clans, teamwork and orchestrated ritual music (guardian of orchestras, choirs and musicians)." LM Notes/Lunar A lovely day for family gatherings, group efforts, festivities and marriages. Auspicious for building (thresholds, public buildings) and additions for property and family. A fine day for business though not for confrontation, traveling alone or entering retreat. Consult the Oracle for more guidance.
