Chinese Almanac Astrology January 9 - 12, 2016

CHINESE ALMANAC ASTROLOGY
In honor of Liu Ming and his lineage
In honor of winter, yup still in Winter

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: 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!”
LM The Way of Three Treasures


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

SATURDAY January 9, Yang Metal Tiger 30

Hexagram 14 Dayou: Prosperity
Lunar Mansion: The Stomach/Pheasant
Solar Indicator: Divide
Appropriate generosity today will open doors tomorrow. Spend the time to share the wealth. 

"It is auspicious to build, bury the dead and marry on this day. It is a good day to make your case, to push forward and to ask for what you are duy. It is a goo day for gift giving and charity." 
LM Notes: The Stomach

"The Zhouyi philosophy of wealth is that it should circulate through honesty, modesty and cooperation. Prosperity only becomes a great benefit through timely and graceful spending. It is important to manage true and lasting wealth (qi) without being trapped or distracted by the ephemeral value of its material symbols." LM Changing: Zhouyi

LUNAR MONTH: EARTH OX 12
"EARTH is the native element of the Ox Earthly Branch. Earth Ox are active, stubborn and highly motivated. They struggle to make sense of the world. They work hard for little reward and have a very uneven fortune, but are uncomplaining. Their strength makes more problems than solutions in their life. They are financially strapped, depressed and isolated when you but slowly overcome these limitations. Though capable of caring for others they rarely find a compatible partner or have children. They are prone to stomach/spleen disorders and arthritis." LM Notes

LUNAR HEXAGRAM: 19 Lin: Approach
"In the process of replacing stale leadership it is important not to become a bully or look down upon those you replace. When Lin is divined a person in a subordinate position (new inspiration) is shown the natural way to gain control of a weakening hierarchy (hardened concepts). It is the journey from simplicity to majesty."
LM Changing: Zhouyi

SUNDAY January 10, Yin Metal Rat 1 
Hexagram 34 Da Zhuong: Great Strength
Lunar Mansion: The Watchers/Cock
Solar Indicator: Full
Keep cozy underground today, mix with your social and religious companies and drink tea. Today offers the potential of a swift kick from a jack rabbit, sudden with an exorcistic tone.

"It is not auspicious to be industrious in any way (building will bring loss). All positive events that occur today will ultimately have negative results (marriage will end in disloyalty and divorce). Medical treatments on this day will complicate existing illness - turn acute into chronic (possibly bring on premature death). Confrontation or battle on this day will lead to injury or death."
LM Notes: The Watchers

MONDAY January 11, Yang Water Dragon 2 
Hexagram Consult the Oracle
Lunar Mansion: The Net/Crow
Solar Indicator: Level
Consider everything as omen.

"To consult a physician and consult oracles (divination of all kinds) will bring clarity. It is a good day for industry, building and burying the dead. It is inauspicious to take anything for granted."
LM Notes: The Net

TUESDAY January 12, Yin Water Snake 3
Hexagram 9 Xiao Xu: Minor Force
Lunar Mansion: The Beak/Monkey
Solar Indicator: Settle
"Small projects well done will eventually add up to success. Obstacles and delays can be expected in any forward action."
LM Changing: Zhouyi

Caution through calm focus is the mantra for the day.

"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."
LM Notes: The Beak
