Year: WOOD GOAT 4713
Lunar Month: WOOD MONKEY 7
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.
Wood Monkey Month
"Wood Monkeys are versatile, adventurous and ambitious. Hurt by uncaring parents or orphaned in childhood, they tend to live unsettled lives. They often work at more than one job and live in more than one place - and have an untrusting character. Their ambitions can land them in lawsuits or in prison. A strong mentor or partner can release them from some obstructions. Strong in their youth, they decline in old age plagued by sleep disorders, congenital heart disorders and psychosomatic complications. They are prone to madness and depression.
Qi Node: 13 Autumn Begins
"Yin Reverses Yang
In Autumn Begins there is the reversal of what the Chinese call "late summer". At this time autumn qi (particularly in evening/night), which is Dry, will reverse the lingering damp heat pattern. It often causes typhoons and tornadoes.
During this qi node qi is the best at 3pm.
Now and then, during the day, practice neigong facing southwest. Do not overexert yourself (or sweat); let the qi move the blood and transform nutrients. Dress lightly (cover well), and stroll about in the morning to avoid the damp.
Chew well. During the day eat two meals, rest (nap) after lunch, snacks of fruit (pears) are good on hot days. Drink green and flower tea and in the evening enjoy a light savory soup.
Vegetarian meals are fine.
Activity should turn from outward to inward - begin to edit and then store what has been accomplished. Continue the cautions of Great Heat.
Before bed bucket bathes and go to sleep not long after dark. Do not go about in the evening or by the coast. Rest, relax, travel (inland), exercise (modestly) and do not be exposed to coastal or night winds." LM The Way of the Three Treasures
Lunar Hexagram 12 Pi: Obstruction
"Pi is a situation in which good or superior people are temporarily held back by minor obstructions. This includes mistakenly working against your own Fate. It is also about a time when inferior, small-minded people prevail. When the best people are stagnant, held back or obstructed; change for the better is inevitable.
Pi is not a time for going forward. You are blocked by your own pretense or by external circumstances. Be humble, patient and cancel or postpone great plans. Adaptation and patience are the keys to positive change in the future." LM Zhouyi
FRIDAY August 14, Yang Water Dog 1
43 Guai: Lurch - The Oxboy, Full -
The Lunar Indicators: The Oxboy, The Maiden and The Void, have arrived. Generally it means this weekend is best for retreat, disengagement and any use of force. Backing up today is more advantageous than driving forward. Though the lights may be green, listen for the siren. Responding with generosity, patience and discipline will keep the avenues open and mishap at bay. Auspicious for retreat, meditation, self-cultivation, generosity and relaxation. Inauspicious for travel, pressing forward, medical procedures, contracts, marriages or burying the dead.
SATURDAY August 15, Yin Water Pig 2
1 Qian: Heaven - The Maiden, Level -
"When you play in the sky like a dragon, among dragons, judicious timing (rather than a show of force) is appropriate. The key to power of primordial yang is found in cautious preparation, conservation and the management of yin." LM Zhouyi Enjoy leisure time with friends today, share food and ideas. Enjoy the arts, study, self-reflect, more food and well cultivated entertainment.
SUNDAY August 16, Yang Wood Rat 3
1 Qian: Heavn - The Void, Settle -
Casual events that have been thoroughly planned and prepared for go well, especially when the continuity of lineage has been honored in the process. If things don't go well, keep calm and carry on. Chances are there isn't much you could have done to prevent it, unsettled ancestors may be disrupting what they don't understand, so keep a light and adaptable attitude. Avoid medical treatments, marriages, burying the dead or making offerings to ancestors. Enjoy the company that you're with and especially tend your close friends and family.
I am because we are. May we, together, practice honest self-reflection and open to our collective potential.
