Chinese Almanac Astrology December 1 - 3, 2015

Chinese Almanac Astrology
In honor of Liu Ming and the lineage

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: FIRE PIG 10
"Fire Pigs are resolute, talented and aggressive characters. They are precocious and tend to marry/partner young or not at all. Having rare an unusual skills they are supported by people of power and influence. They are devout followers and absorb knowledge/power from others. Uniqueness and excessive strength isolate them. Their fortunes improve with age (60+) and/or when they learn to let go. Though they are particularly susceptible to 'hot' disease, they respond well to treatment and have long lives.LM Notes

QI NODE: 20 Little Snow
Yin Expands
“In the Little Snow qi node the continued growth of the cold/yin continues and our adaptation to Big Yin should have set in. The first snow seems beautiful like a young princess. The wisdom of the Past (ancestors) is proven true. The pattern of withdrawal seems just and truthful. Yin is now well established.

“Now it is easy to feel winter has begun. As winter grows cold and the maturation of the annual yin qi develops the cold and damp unite to create snow. Days get shorter - the dark grows quickly. The ground hardens and may freeze, insects disappear and rainbows no longer appear. The qi is best at 10pm. During this period the environment grows ever more yin and yang inhibition grows stronger. Every being/thing must rest. A trip south (winter vacation) is recommended for those with insufficient yang. We must guard our inner yang as it recedes from the environment. Cancel your activities in preparation for retreat. Earphones and iPod should replace public concerts. Check your insulation! Catch up on classic movies.”
LM The Way of Three Treasures


LUNAR HEXAGRAM: 21 Shihe: Biting
"Good leaders know that it is their own miscalculations and poor management that lead to the need for a strong use of force (war). When we resort to harsh punishment we must do so cautiously - even humbly.
"However, sometimes, deliberate confrontation and strong action can be useful in the reunification of allies. What is obstructing unity and justice must be dealt with deliberately. A correct use of force must be cautiously restrained and then abandoned before it degenerates into brutality. Uncontrolled impulses lead to injustice and loss of unity. If you are addicted to impulse and brutality you will never become a true leader."
LM Changing: Zhouyi


TUESDAY December 1, Yin Metal Pig 20 
Hexagram 24 Fu: Return
Lunar Mansion: The Tail
Solar Indicator: Design
"Short-term plans succeed in the context of a broad view. Things are turning for the better. Routine work comes to fruition. It is favorable to have a clear goal before setting out."
LM Changing: Zhouyi

Keep it light and eat with your full attention, it could take you into another dimension. Education, moving house, investments, burying the dead, marriage and celebrating achievements are auspicious. Self reflect and honor your ancestors.

"Excessive ambition may spoil the day." LM Notes: The Tail

WEDNESDAY December 2, Yang Water Rat 21
Hexagram 44 Gou: Meeting
Lunar Mansion: The Basket/Leopard
Solar Indicator: Divide
Shed inessentials. Take pause in your day to align with your core.
"A wise person (man or woman), with the responsibilities of leadership, does not indulge in the trivial. Resistance to seduction, even if it causes a temporary embarrassment, is recommended." 
LM Changing: Zhouyi

"It is auspicious to marry, work hard, purchase, build and remodel (new door = new resources) on this day. It is auspicious to continue your routine work, review burials, memorials and funerals (rain blessings from the ancestors). Contraindicated activity: Laziness, gossip and slander."
LM Notes: The Basket

THURSDAY December 3, Yin Water Ox 22
Hexagram 28 Da Guo: Excess
Lunar Mansion: The Ladle/Griffon
Solar Indicator: Full
"Group effort and conventional behavior are often the advice of the Zhouyi. Though being excessive or habituated to the extraordinary is considered inauspicious; there can be exceptional, if modest, outcomes from strange situations."
LM Changing: Zhouyi

Move forward with discipline, honor ancestors and conduct routine work. New opportunities, digging wells, marriages and burials are beneficial. It is possible to move through challenging situations today if you are humble.

MONDAY November 30, Yang Metal Dog 19
Hexagram 27 Yi: Jaws
Lunar Mansion: The Heart/Fox
Solar Indicator: Shut
"Raw impulse is strong but dangerous. Excessive ambitions can bring about personal disaster. There will be setbacks in progress. Acting properly when the time is right goes well. In the acquisition of what you want (money or property) it is important to be strong but modest."
LM Changing: Zhouyi

Generally a good day to rest on your laurels. Pressing forward invites complication and retribution. "Only routine work may avoid the negativity...3 times the result of other days."
LM Notes: The Heart

So take it easy and let the dust settle so-to-speak.

LUNAR HEXAGRAM: 28 Da Guo: Excess
"When you get entangled in excess, going forward with caution may be the best thing to do. Excess and eccentricity have their place."
LChanging: Zhouyi

FRIDAY November 27, Yin Fire Goat 16
Hexagram Consult the Oracle
Lunar Mansion: The Neck/Dragon
Solar Indicator: Complete
It is auspicious to step out of the way today, seek council, follow superiors or even let assistants lead the way. Eat simply, get rest and work on being gentle and kind. 

"A willingness to learn and reform will bring good fortune." LM Notes: The Neck

Consult the oracle for details. If things get out of hand today, it's probably of your own making.

SATURDAY November 28, Yang Earth Monkey 17
Hexagram 42 Yi: Increase
Lunar Mansion: The Root/Badger
Solar Indicator: Harvest
"Ambition is often what spoils success, not what creates it. When natural growth and personal fate unite, we are advised to stay centered and welcome increase. Do not be distracted by the many 'possibilities,' stay with reality."
LChanging: Zhouyi

SUNDAY November 29, Yin Earth Rooster 18
Hexagram 3 Zhun: Sprouting
Lunar Mansion: The Room/Hare
Solar Indicator: Open
"Individual efforts, no matter how vigorous, do not amount to much. In this situation inexperience demands education before successful alliances are made. Power is found in following the customs that unite older and younger generations (even the living and the dead). Standards of hospitality (canonical rituals, manners and customs) make strangers into comrades."
LChanging: Zhouyi

A good day for alliances, progress, medical treatments and investments. Honor the ancestors and be sincere.


"Finalizing divorce, excessive ambition and ingratitude. Exaggeration and hypocrisy bring disaster. Not a good day for taking leadership (new job) or management responsibilities."
LM Notes: The Room

LUNAR HEXAGRAM: 52 Gen: Still
"Gen is the stillness of a mountain. In the image there are two mountains, one above and one below. The mountain above represents the clarity and calm of meditation, spiritual realization and the mystical inspiration of divination.
"The mountain below represents the courage of restraint in the face of physical punishment of suppressive discipline like the slow humiliation of sacrificed captives. This sort of courage transforms negative emotions into inner peace."
LChanging: Zhouyi


MONDAY November 23, Yin Water Rabbit 12
Hexagram 25 Wu Wang: No expectations
Lunar Mansion: The Bow/Deer
Solar Indicator: Settle
Partners and mentors play an exhaulted role today as keepers of the keel. Consult the oracle, give offerings and hang with friends.

"Life is full of little surprises. If you think success is always the result of your well-planned action, think again. Focus, concentration and knowing what you want are not always important and can even be a hindrance or limitation to success."

LChanging: Zhouyi


“Preparedness makes action timely and successful. Tradition, convention, training, education - all forms of readiness, inspire action. Forces join together and new alliances produce unexpected results. Action taken with such thorough preparation is bound to success. The qi of the day is stable, progressive and functional. Clarity and calm (yin) are not unseated by action (yang). Focus and repetition succeed. Procrastination and equivocation is contraindicated.”
LM Notes: Settle



LUNAR HEXAGRAM: 28 Da Guo: Excess
"When you get entangled in excess, going forward with caution may be the best thing to do. Excess and eccentricity have their place."

LChanging: Zhouyi


TUESDAY November 24, Yang Wood Dragon 13
Hexagram 17 Sui: Pursuit
Lunar Mansion: The Wings/Serpent
Solar Indicator: Maintain

"When your efforts are rewarded it is stopping that bring success. Getting caught up in pursuit for its own sake will make you mad and diminish your resources.
"What Confucianists will interpret as an ideal of moral restraint, is, in the Zhouyi, simply a matter of precedent and practicality. True success is ordained of Heaven, that is, fated or created by natural precedents - the momentum of the ancestors. When Sui is divined, following the omen of the ancestors is always the road to success."
LChanging: Zhouyi

"Good auspices relies heavily on inclusiveness, following custom (manners), social convention and guileless loyalty. Good fortune comes through the natural "chain of command". Misfortune is directly related to breaking taboos, ignoring family, conventions and/or defaulting on commitments of any kind. Lie still, move slowly and methodically and the snake won't strike."

LM Notes: The Wings

If you need to let off some steam today, consider being artful.



WEDNESDAY November 25, Yin Wood Snake 14
Hexagram 21 Shihe: Biting
Lunar Mansion: The Chariot/Earthworm
Solar Indicator: Destroy
Focus on resting well today. Yesterday's artistry flows into today with a deliberately strategic tone. Moving forward confidently is possible, as long as you're adaptable and flow with the river. It is inauspicious to be lazy, but certainly eat and sleep well.


THURSDAY November 26, Yang Fire Horse 15
Hexagram 51 Zhen: Thunder
Lunar Mansion: The Horn/Crocodile
Solar Indicator: Danger
Take care, there is a flamability about the day.
"When big changes happen the result has to do with how you handle it. The way to prepare for this kind of sudden change is the practice of self-cultivation - meditation.

"Sudden storms are an expression of the normal cycles of weather, and yet they are always surprising. Shocking events are, after all, not really shocking, but simply unexpected."

LChanging: Zhouyi

Notice the impulsiveness of the day and relax. Do only what is necessary and get some exercise. Training comes in most handy when you are calm and rested.

Chinese Almanac Astrology November 18 - 19, 2015

May this Winter rain blessings upon you all.

Yin Wood Goat

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: FIRE PIG
"Fire Pigs are resolute, talented and aggressive characters. They are precocious and tend to marry/partner young or not at all. Having rare an unusual skills they are supported by people of power and influence. They are devout followers and absorb knowledge/power from others. Uniqueness and excessive strength isolate them. Their fortunes improve with age (60+) and/or when they learn to let go. Though they are particularly susceptible to 'hot' disease, they respond well to treatment and have long lives.LM Notes

Qi Node: 19 Winter Begins
Yin Hides Yang
“The wi node called Winter Begins is a time of growing cold and the development of Big Yin qi. Days get short and nights grow long. The ground hardens (but does not freeze), insects disappear and the last harvest must be stored away. During this period the environment grows ever more Yin and is characterized by cold (water element). The winter is the great Abyss of Yin. If yang is not stored the world is barren.


As the last of the autumn qi subsides, a cold north wind (qi) appears and the season of winter begins in earnest. Dampness (Earth) riding the cold wind is only occasional. Winter is here and there is a chance to enjoy the Cold. During this period the environmental qi is best at 9pm. Neigong is practiced in the morning and just before bed. Dream with intention.”
LM The Way of Three Treasures

Lunar Hexagram 52 Gen: Still

"Gen is the stillness of a mountain. In the image there are two mountains, one above and one below. The mountain above represents the clarity and calm of meditation, spiritual realization and the mystical inspiration of divination.
"The mountain below represents the courage of restraint in the face of physical punishment of suppressive discipline like the slow humiliation of sacrificed captives. This sort of courage transforms negative emotions into inner peace."
LChanging: Zhouyi

WEDNESDAY November 18, Yang Earth Dog 7

Hexagram: Consult the Oracle
Lunar Mansion: The Trio/Gibbon
Solar Indicator: Shut
"It bodes well to dispose of inessentials (haircuts), edit, fast, study (Classics), take exams, enter retreat and practice meditation. It is good to be industrious close to home (house clean). Initiating business (particularly group enterprise) will be fruitful if planning has been thorough. It is inauspicious to push forward aggressively. Do not get married, finalize divorce, bury the dead, spend savings or speculate financially as these all lead to losing resources and cooperation." LM Notes: The Trio

The more unplugged, unattached and adaptable you are today, the more limitless the insight available. Step back, everywhere that you can, consult the oracle and keep it light (Earth Dogs are good at that). 

THURSDAY November 19, Yin Earth Pig 8

Hexagram 37 Jia Ren: Household
Lunar Mansion: The Well/Tapir
Solar Indicator: Design

"Jia Ren is about well-ordered, supportive families and family-like groups that have a collective purpose. Selfless caregivers (mothers/nourishment) make households and family-like groups strong. Selfless and consistent inner strength is the basis of true communities. Orderly family/communities nurture great leaders who, in turn, make the alliances that create fair and just nation-states." LChanging: Zhouyi


It is auspicious today to recalibrate to the greater good. Remodels, fengshui adjustments, exams and routine industry go well. A good day for apologies and difficult tasks, self-reflections and graduations.

LM The Way of Three Treasures

Lunar Hexagram 2 Kun: Earth

"The Primordial Yin, with all its gentleness, is the true nature of events and things as they spontaneously unfold in Space. It is the inner nature of things expressing compliance with the environment that sustains it. It is not the product of human effort. The aimless wandering of the mare represents the openness and sensitivity that is accepting and responsive to fate and circumstance. The key to the power of Kun is found in the cultivation of supple compliance and should not be confused with passive docility, suppression or laziness. Kun is the inherent responsiveness and resolution of all beings and things in Nature."
LChanging: Zhouyi

SATURDAY November 14, Yang Wood Horse 3

Hexagram: 13 Tong Ren: Community
Lunar Mansion: The Stomach/Pheasant
Solar Indicator: Danger
Move gracefully and graciously as winter approaches. It's not time for new waves of energy but rather tasks at the end of a day, end of a season, culling and preserving. There is a cultural vibe to the day and auspicious for industry, negotiation and generosity, canceling out debt and receiving what is owed. Bury the dead and marry on this day. Don't be egotistical; confrontation, breaking taboo and/or the law today will squander resources.

SUNDAY November 15, Yin Wood Goat 4

Hexagram 49 Ge: Molting
Lunar Mansion: The Watchers
Solar Indicator: Complete
There is an exorcistic tone to the day.
“It is a day for resting on your laurels. Success is established and secured and the new state seems to govern itself. Enemies are few. It is a time for inward reflection (yin) on the bare face of reality (yang). Struggle (yang) is no longer possible or necessary (yin). Decline is not feared and success not celebrated. Wisdom approaches and withdrawing succeeds. Art is the demonstration of confidence, dignity and wisdom - be artful. No more accumulating - decorate with modesty. The way of perfecting power is austerity and restraint. Do less, have less, show less and seek nothing. Enjoy what is already manifest.” LM Notes: Complete

MONDAY November 16, Yang Fire Monkey

Hexagram 30 Li: Oriole
Lunar Mansion: The Net/Crow
Solar Indicator: Harvest
"Li tells us the what is truly bright cannot last. In the great cycles of change there are moments of glory when everything shines brightly and reaches a fantastic peak. It is important to understand that the very pinnacle of success (oriole) is none other than the gate of decline." LChanging: Zhouyi

Within the brightness, consider everything as omen. After the exorcism of yesterday, today offers communication with the ancestors. 


"To consult a physician and consult oracles (divination of all kinds) will bring clarity. It is a good day for industry (labor/gardening = long term wealth), building (restores clarity) and burying the dead (enhance intuition). It is inauspicious to take anything for granted. It is inauspicious for revolution, confrontation, breaking taboos, neglecting responsibilities or travel (someone at home dies/gets sick).

 LM Notes: The Net/Crow

TUESDAY November 17, Yin Fire Rooster 6

Hexagram 55 Feng: Abundance
Lunar Mansion: The Beak/Monkey
Solar Indicator: Open
"Do not waste time feeling unworthy or claim the success is yours. Honor all co-factors and reward all co-workers. Celebration and generosity express abundance."
LChanging: Zhouyi

"It bodes well to follow superiors, practice austerity and/or pool resources with others. It is a day to sincerely comply with divination and maintain taboos meticulously. It is inauspicious to push forward, be industrious or initiate new ventures. Revolution of demanding idealistic justice on this day will be catastrophic."

LM Notes: The Beak/Monkey

"An open heart gives the option to acquire great wisdom."
