Metal Ox – little white bull day?

It seems we can explain away today’s Metal Ox day in a couple of ways; firstly we associate the elements colour white with purity and by extension holiness. Secondly this metal element is associated with miniature scale objects. Finally, Ox being another name for Bull hence “Little white bull”!

Dog, Pig and Rat signs are supported today as the former see their plans develop, whilst the latter water signs are made vibrant by today’s qi. Tiger and Rabbit signs have power and money luck and Horse and Snake can join Dragon and Ox signs to can try out new ideas, or travel somewhere new.

Although the Sheep is clashed and could have stomach problems, this is best avoided by eating wisely. Being a metal day natural favours Monkey and Rooster and they can feel vibrant and on top of the world.

As the Ox has a partnership with this month’s Rat sign the Chinese almanac lists most activities as being auspicious making it a great day for that last minutes seasonal bargain or to settle affairs before year end. Speaking of which we will be back in the new year and may we wish you everything you wish for yourselves for this festive period and 2011.

Until 2011 – enjoy now!

Earth Snake day – rough or smooth?

In nature Earth Snakes are small, secretive snakes that are brown, gray or reddish coloured. There are 2 species in their genus: Smooth Earth Snake and Rough Earth Snake. In Chinese astrology Earth Snake generally denotes creativity; however, falling as it does in a Rat month this may lead to legal problems and consequently, should be considered the “rough” variety.

Starting like this may suggest that today and even tomorrow are not terribly auspicious and are actually only good for refurbishment of walls especially filling cracks.

In today’s Chinese astrology Rat and Pig signs are lucky with money although the latter is clashed and will benefit by taking advice before making major decisions. They may naturally find this assistance from earth signs of Dragon, Sheep, Dog and Ox who are all well supported with extra energy, so much so, that you may have to find them seasonal shopping.

As you may expect Snake signs are prominent and powerful and Horse signs will benefit from the wood element all month. Rooster and Monkey signs are in the spotlight and can gain power and opportunities for recognition. The Wood signs of Tiger and Rabbit should be quite creative, or are able to relax or travel with ease, just be aware of energetic seasonal shoppers.

Until tomorrow – enjoy today!

Wood Horse day

I was going to refer today’s Wood Horse to the wooden horse of Troy, but any mention of that type of Horse is totally unwelcome on the internet, and I didn’t want this blog to be avoided either.

Speaking of which, today is a month break as it clashes with the monthly sign of Rat and opening a business or collecting outstanding debits should be postponed until next week. Instead, today is only good for repair or renovation and can range from seeing a doctor, to beginning refurbishment on your home.

Tiger and Dog are favourable signs and if you have just a Dog in your horoscope this will form a very strong fire combination with the annual Tiger and Horse day signs. To discover its effects you will need to see our attribute cycle.

Water signs of Pig and Rat are lucky with wealth and wives or girlfriends. Earth signs of Dragon, Goat, Dog and Ox should be full of energy and have support when they need it. Metal women also have romance and power and all Monkey and Rooster signs share power and recognition.

Our next blog will be on Wednesday.

Until then - enjoy now!

Water Snake day

A water snake generally denotes wealth and falling as it does in a Rat month develops into prosperity, especially so, if you are a Rat or Pig sign. Earth signs of Dragon, Sheep, Dog and Ox also have good prospects this morning and should be able to relax later today. Snake signs are prominent and powerful and Horse signs need the wood element, to have a better day / month. Whilst Rooster and Monkey signs may gain power and opportunities for recognition. The Wood signs of Tiger and Rabbit should be quite creative, or are able to relax or travel with ease.

The Chinese almanac or Tong Shu lists today’s suitable activities as having a haircut, remodelling or moving home, laying foundations, aligning your bed or door to a favourable direction, or seizing opportunities.

Until tomorrow – enjoy today!
