Dogs are recognised for their hard work. Those signs affected by change include the Monkey who may have problems with money or romance if male. Rat may feel spent or extremely drained and the Dragon may also have relationship issues, especially if female. Otherwise Dragon signs may feel very heavy or pressurised and if so would benefit from wearing warm colours or taking action by making put off decisions.

Rabbit signs may suffer setbacks but should be lucky with money opportunities. Snake signs are popular and well supported and it is a good day to express themselves and get things off their chests. Sheep and Ox males feel powerful and their females can be lucky in love. Whilst; the Rooster although clashed all year can have some much needed money luck today. Pig and Rat are highly creative or else have pleasant trips or relaxation.

The Chinese almanac suggests clothes shopping, erecting a statue, refurbish warehouse, sign contracts, trade, ferment and drink wine - responsibly, putting new roof on a home, fix paths and fill cracks in walls, set up fire or tombstone and plant seeds as suitable pursuits.
Until tomorrow – enjoy today!

Red Bull gives you wheels?

It is not so hard to decipher today’s title as red is the colour associated with the fire element and bull is another name for Ox. Wheels’, being a slang word for car or in ancient Chinese terms “Carriage” is the 28^th lunar mansion appearing today. Of course, as Red Bull is an energy drink another meaning could be that you will need to lots of get-up-and-go and “get your skates on” to make full use of this highly auspicious FIRE OX day.

The Chinese almanac list suitable activities for today as meditating, asking for blessings, taking a course, going out, seeing friends, perhaps even getting engaged or married, that is after first checking their astrological compatibility.

If Fire Ox is part of your horoscope and you can find out here Chinese horoscope it indicates a very generous, intelligent, creative and honourable person. Drive and determination bring excellent financial rewards which help to make you more powerful and attractive to the opposite gender. With high ideals and perhaps a spiritual slant this combination keeps you grounded and ready to be of service to others.

Respectful Sheep day

Today’s Metal Sheep is one of the best types of pillars that you can have as the animal’s element supports the heavenly stem, in this case Earth generating metal. People with this in their horoscope are strong and healthy with an excellent sense of proportion. They have powerful instincts and drive and are lucky with money, which is just as well as they are excellent at spending but not so good at investing, unless they have water in their chart. They are advocates of fairness and rectitude, just what is needed after yesterday’s arguments perhaps? Famous Metal Sheep include Sandra Bullock, Sam Cooke, James Dean, Jennifer Lopez, William Shatner, Hilary Swank and Daniel Radcliffe.

A Sheep or Goat day in a Rabbit month is lucky due to their high compatibility and the Chinese almanac states suitable activities as; meditating, asking for blessings, start learning by taking a course, travel and visiting friends, getting engaged or to exchange gifts, emigrating, opening a business, trading, fix roof, refurbish, or set up a grave.

Hi Ho Silver Stallion day

I couldn’t decide whether to pay respects to Boon, Jeff Beck or the Lone Ranger in today’s title, so I decide to mention them all on this Metal Horse day. It is not a particular auspicious day, so we should take any smile where we can get it.

Due to a controlling influence between the Metal and Horse elements, we can expect lots of arguments relating to authority. However, the earth element can balance this relationship and wearing earth related colours, such as brown, beige, yellow, cream and terracotta can help. Similarly, the Chinese almanac states today are only good for cooking and fixing paths or walls. In view of this; sweet tastes and cement appear on today's menu.

If Metal Horse is in your horoscope and you can get free astrology here to find out; you have a mind like a steel trap and are extremely determined, if not border line stubborn. Being used to having your own way you have lots of wealth opportunities and are able to see the bigger picture. Famous Metal Horse celebrities include Gene Hackman, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Richard Harris and Ronnie Corbett.

Horse signs are generally buoyant this month and will be at the centre of attention today, which doesn’t really gel well with their shy natures. Rat signs are usually clashed on these days but changes naturally arising are normally offset in Spring. Instead they together with Pig signs can be lucky with money and their males can find love. Whilst females with Monkey or Rooster signs can have romance and all can have recognition and authority today. Earth signs of Dragon, Sheep, Dog and Ox are perhaps the best off as they are supported and inspired. They may find themselves settling lots of disputes with their calming nature, or supply of chocolate. Tiger and Rabbit signs may feel drained and can benefit by being around water.
Until tomorrow – enjoy today!

Spring Cow day

Today is a Wood Ox day, as wood is associated with Spring and Ox with cow I have renamed it in the title above. Actually, the original Spring Cow was a mystical beast ridden by Lao Zi (Tse) the father of Taoism. It is shown annually in the Chinese almanac to predict annual themes, from yin yang polarity to weather and harvest yields.

Today the almanac lists suitable activities as meditating, asking for blessings, taking a course, travelling and seeing friends, getting engaged or married, buying clothes, moving home, planting seeds, having a haircut, fixing paths and filling cracks, refurbishing and digging foundations, buying a cooker or hunting for a bargain.

Today the Ox clashes with the Goat and this may bring confusion to the latter, (if you have a Goat or Sheep in your horoscope, ask someone to explain this to you). although, the other earth signs of Dragon, Dog and Ox have power and romance, as do female Pig and Rat signs. Speaking of which these water signs can feel powerful but may be stressed, in which case wearing white, grey or taking charge of matters will alleviate any pressure.

Whilst Rabbit, Tiger and Monkey and Rooster signs should have money luck and the latter’s males can also find romance. Snake and Horse signs are highly creative, if not inspired and should be able to manifest their ideas, which they should find pay off this year.

If Wood Ox is part of your horoscope you tend to trap your emotions within and this can cause a lot of stress. Eating healthily, and taking charge while communicating can help balance your energy, suitable foods would be any root vegetables and fish, nuts or anything with a salty taste. Wood Ox celebrities include Agnes Bruckner, Chelsy Davy, Arielle Kebbel, Stéphane Lambiel, Jack Osbourne, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney

As we are teaching this weekend we will return with a Metal Horse next Wednesday.

Until then - enjoy every minute!

Wood Rat day

The Wood Rat marks the start of a 60 day cycle of new energy and if you were preparing to begin something new - now is a natural time to start. Consequently, if Wood rat is part of your horoscope then you are a natural trailblazer or pioneer with good expression, intelligence and an adventurous spirit. Being highly impulsive you are not afraid to take risks or try something new.

This pioneering phenomenon can also be applied to most horoscopes, so you should watch for its appearance in your astrology chart. For example people born in 1984 or 1924 or those born between December 6th and January 5^th in a year ending with 3 or 8 such as 1993 have a Wood Rat in their horoscope.

Today naturally favours Rat signs and they can find willing assistance in their projects. The Pig, also a water sign sees their plans come to fruition. Whist the remaining members of the Rat group namely Monkey and Dragon; can find creativity and wealth respectively. Similarly Rooster signs can be quite imaginative and should be less tense today. Whereas, Tiger has plenty of support and should be feeling positively buoyant.

The Horse sign may struggle as it clashes on a Rat day and will have a better day with the wood element, Earth signs of Dragon, Sheep, Dog and Ox have money making opportunities and males of these signs may enjoy romantic opportunities too. Female fire signs of Snake and Horse may also be lucky in love.

Rabbit signs are actually punished by the Rat, but this being a Rabbit month and year these effects are pretty insignificant. However, the Chinese almanac states that it should be used for quiet contemplation and pampering oneself or planting seeds as it is a new start. It will be a better day tomorrow.
