INDICATORS

YEAR of the FIRE ROOSTER 4715

(Native Yin Metal) Analytical

"Charged: critical, intelligent, confident, alert, social, dignified, articulate, forthright, spontaneous, inspired, financially adept, challenging, meticulous and tidy.

Deplete: volatile, rude, proud, argumentative, blunt, vulgar, tactless, close-minded, hypochondriac, vain, snobby, aloof, harshly competitive and fanatical.

Image: The Rooster talked about in Chinese Astrology is well known to the Chinese as the ordinary version of the phoenix. This bird is an ancient amulet used to ward off the 5 poisonous creatures (snake, scorpion, spider, centipede and toad). The Rooster (not hen) is sacrificed only at rituals requiring oaths (trustworthy). The most familiar image is, of course, the Rooster lording over hens in the yard and dueling to the death in a cockfight - extrovert extraordinaire. There is the precision of its sharp beak (intellectual), the powerful wings (competitive) and the call to sun at dawn and dusk (eloquence). Basic materials become luxury items when chosen by the Rooster eye. Roosters collect books and documents.

Fire Rooster (1837, 1897, 1957, 2017, 2077) 'Solitary Rooster'
Fire Roosters are skillful, sensual and restless characters. They are excellent craftspeople and have a strong ambition to escape the limitations of poverty and class. They flip-flop from iron self-confidence to hopelessness and back. Though apparently strong willed they collapse in the face of difficulties. Their unapologetic, anti-social attitudes will complicate their relationships and dim their fortunes. Their sexuality is ferocious and embarrassment unknown to them. They often carry the burden of unresolved ancestral (congenital) illnesses and are haunted by the unsettled dead."

LUNAR MONTH: YANG FIRE HORSE 'Traveling Horse'

“FIRE is the native element of the Horse Earthly Branch. Fire Horses are outspoken, quick-tempered and skillful. They are very capable with their hands and articulate in speech. Their restlessness is profound. Working in more than one job suits them. They are very good friends but vindictive enemies. Their fortunes are uneven but will consistently improve as they age. Their relationships are often unconventional, they will marry more than once. They are prone to injury, sudden attacks of acute pain and high fevers.”

QI NODE: 8 Grain Sprouts

Yang Expands

"Yang in the Grain Sprouts qi  node agrees to leadership through education - yang qi agrees to stay in the channels. Yang matures and takes on a less impulsive quality - it becomes steady in its discipline. The Prince leads his first successful campaign. What were fertile fields now show sprouts. The promise is strong. Trees and shrubs flourish. There is a ‘small fullness’ The sages gather herbs from mountains in peace. Some early fruits are harvested."

LM The Way of Three Treasures

14 Dayou: Prosperity

"Through good management, prosperity is established and, through generosity, prosperity is translated into great benefit."

SATURDAY June 3, Yin Metal Rooster 9

Hexagram 15 Qian: Modesty

Lunar Mansion: The Willow / Roebuck
Solar Indicator: Settle

Be social, and especially modest. Let thoughtfulness today open through charm and inward reflection...think deer.

“It is especially auspicious for seclusion and the composing of memorials. Is is favorable to make offerings and practice divination. It is fruitful on this day to fast, enter retreat, practice meditation and receive spiritual initiation and/or ordination (lineage). It is ideal for funerals / burials and the complete resolution of the unsettled dead (exorcism).

“It is not auspicious for marriage. Do not indulge in lawsuits (as it will ruin 3 generations).”

LM Notes: The Willow

 

SUNDAY June 4, Yang Water Dog 10

Hexagram 52 Gen: Still

Lunar Mansion: The Birdstar / Horse

Another day to think doe. It is time for stillness to unfold what is appropriate. Do not rush, and especially take notice. When in doubt, be still.

“Think powerful, but gentle succeeds...It is auspicious for building and routine work (you will meet / hobnob with the powerful). Good auspice is directly related to continuity, convention and not innovation.

“It is not auspicious for funerals/burials or marriages (rape, divorce). It is a dangerous day for travel and/or medical treatments.”
