Fire horse – its manic day

In Chinese astrology, we have good and bad days and sadly today is one of the latter as it forms a clash with this month’s heavenly stem. In Chinese culture the Fire Horse is infamous as it so bright it consumes all and is said to leave a trail of destruction behind it. How is it for you?

Well the Tong Shu says today is only good for asking advice from ancestors, getting married, buying clothes or burial affairs.

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

We will be taking a break for the holidays and wherever you are we wish you joy and wellbeing.
