In the Sheng cycle of five elements, the earth element is said to give birth to metal, so no prizes for how we derived the first part of our title on this Earth Monkey (metal) day.
As birth is a new beginning the Chinese almanac follows this trend and recommends travelling or emigrating, getting married, opening a business, refurbishment or laying foundations or a new you, either physically through a new hair style or mentally by meditation or quiet reflection.
Finally the second part of our title comes from the Winnowing Basket, number seven of the twenty eight Lunar Mansions. Guess what? Days ruled by the Basket are ideal for starting new ventures. New endeavours started today will enjoy a year of good fortune; business will thrive and profits will be handsome. It is also a good day to acquire new property or to open a new door. In present-day terms, this indicates a fortunate day to move into new property, add an extension or perhaps to enrol in a new organisation that could involve moving into new buildings, as those who do so can be sure of rewards for themselves and their families.
Until tomorrow – enjoy today!
