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: EARTH RAT 11
"Earth Rats are clever and thrifty characters. Their good fortunes come from their persevering labor and conventionality. They are frugal in their use of money and energy. Fear takes the shape of self-consciousness. They are more likely to be injured (scarred by tools or weapons) than ill, and prone to liver and wind disorders. They marry well and must be attentive parents to their young children, as illness and conduct problems will occur. They leave legacies." LM Notes

QI NODE: 22 Winter Solstice
Yin Rules
“The Winter Solstice qi node has the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It is one of four annual pivots that rectify the annual qi. During this qi node qi is at its height at midnight! At the end of this qi node, the new calendar year begins. In the Chinese official calendar it is the mid-point of winter. The astrological year is still months away.
Yin peaks but in this same qi node it begins its inevitable decline - supreme yin gives birth to the flux of yang. Tigers mate. Christmas lights twinkle. Birth and death commingle, but life is cold and apparently dead now begins to move toward life.
Everywhere in Chinese cosmology black (dark) produces ‘yellow’ or light of the sun. ‘The darkest hour is just before dawn’.”

LUNAR HEXAGRAM: 39 Jian: Stumbling
"Good fortune comes to the halting and inept because they have the simple, good sense to wait or withdraw. From time to time good fortune comes despite our incompetence. When Jian is divined success is a gift of fate (friends). Since success, in this case, is far in excess of what you might reasonable expect, complete the process by sharing the rewards with others."LM Changing: Zhouyi

TUESDAY January 5, Yang Fire Dog 26
Hexagram 23 Bo: ErosionLunar Mansion: The House/Pig
Solar Indicator: Open
Generate kindness and do NOT wait on matters today, enhance your family and/or business for long-term effects. Include the living and the dead. Approach the day with a calm, open heart and you'll surely be enabled to manage fire.
Qi Node: 23 Little Cold
Yin Declines
“In the Little Cold qi node yin inclines gracefully toward its demise. The ground may freeze and thaw and freeze again. The sheer weight of Yin compresses yang but it does not succumb. It may be too cold to snow. Retreat is natural gesture. The ice is cracking but it is hard to notice the change. Yang is imagining its recovery. The qi is best at 1 am! If your bed points East and you sleep on your right side - you face north all night. You should be dreaming in such a way that you are reinventing yourself down to the very depths of your being. This qi node is the inherent birth found in every death. The impulse of immortality played out in the myriad ephemeral phenomena.
You may wake from a dream cured of a chronic condition. You may wake from a dream remembering your true nature. Do neigong while asleep!”

WEDNESDAY January 6, Yin Fire Pig 27
Hexagram 2 Kun: Earth
Lunar Mansion: The Wall/Porcupine
Solar Indicator: Open
Absolutely engage today. Skill, compliance and collaboration elevate results.
"It is...the collective integrity and authenticity of a nation. It's appearance in the autumn and winter months is particularly auspicious as it represents the rallying of people and the collecting of resources (victory and clan ancestral rites)." LM Notes: The Wall
THURSDAY January 7, Yang Earth Rat 28
Hexagram 1 Qian: Heaven
Lunar Mansion: The Stride/Wolf
Solar Indicator: Shut
The conventional, frugal and clever character of the day is supported by "...creativity, renewal and initiation."
LM Changing: Zhouyi
Routine business, medical treatments, fortification and planning, not speculating. Resting ain't a bad idea either, especially with your people.
