Year: WOOD GOAT 4713
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.
Lunar Month: WOOD MONKEY 7
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: 14 Heat Ends
In the morning white dew is the harbinger of change. The clouds are high in the sky. The growing west wind is cool. Dew is fresh yin qi - a fragile, glimpse of snow. The growing yin almost goes unnoticed. As the last of the summer qi subsides, a cool west wind (qi) appears and the season of autumn begins and develops. Geese migrate south and fall harvest continues in earnest.
White Dew is a time of clarity and stillness. During this period the environment grows ever more yuin and is characterized by a cool, dry wind (metal element). During this qi node the environmental qi is best at 5pm. Neigong should be done indoors. Do not eat at all after 7pm.
In the imagination of the poets and hermits of China it is a time of year when white nymphs are offering inspiration. Unlike their superiors, the Jade Lads and Ladies, these nymphs inhabit the sea and forest, not the Celestial realms. White dew, a rare or first form of frost of the year, is the signal of their presence. They show us white dew to remind us to prepare for the arrival of the Celestials (yin)."

Daily Hexagram 37 Jia Ren: Household
Lunar Lodge - The Tail
Solar Indicator - Full
We've stepped into a new Qi Node today. The beginning of autumn will now start to formalize as yin ascends. The rest of the indicators highlight invitation, collaboration, burials, marriages, rewards and education. "These actions today cause a person or family and all their projects to flourish." LM Notes: The Tail Again, notice the momentum and tend relationships, appreciate and be grateful for your resources. How may we benefit all?
I am because we are. May we, together, practice honest self-reflection and open to our collective potential.
Yin Seduces, Metal
"The End of Heat qi node is just that. It is the end of what the Chinese call 'late summer'. In this qu node autumn winds, though still slightly damp, turn slowly drier. Summer's yang is completely exhausted and harvest can begin in earnest.
It is common for the body to feel slightly 'heavy' at this time of year because the fluids and qi are slowing down in anticipation of the Dry and Cold. Harvesting is the main qi pattern. Gather in your resources, plan for the less productive months ahead.
What we harvest now is what we will rely on during the months ahead.
The dreams and aspirations of spring/summer must now be edited with sound and practical strategies.
During this qi node qi is best at 4 pm. Neigong should be practiced in short sessions in morning and afternoon. Afternoon naps are recommended (10 - 25 min). Plan to be at home most evenings. Party's over, time to clean house and tighten up the protocols." LM The Way of the Three Treasures
Lunar Hexagram 60 Jie: Juncture
"Jie is about the step-by-step progress of human life-represented by the segments of a bamboo plant. Progress that is secured in increments will hold and make a base for future progress. Saved resources provide future prosperity. Thoughtful words change hearts.
Knowing when to apply restraint is a very important element in any success. The auspices and patterns of Heaven are found in the mantic study of time (astrology) and place (fengshui). Divining the right juncture of time and place brings natural success. Jie advises us to calculate and interpret the natural rhythm in the ebb and flow of celestial qi as a guide to action." LM Zhouyi

Yin Descends
"White Dew qi node shows the shifting relationship between collapsing yang and ascendant yin. When yin 'descends' it is actually taking charge - yin style.In the morning white dew is the harbinger of change. The clouds are high in the sky. The growing west wind is cool.
