Howl at the Monkey Moon - now that’s clever!

This Wood Monkey day welcomes a New Moon tonight and putting the two together, perhaps we should have called it “Howler” instead of howl at. Speaking of similarities, did you know that the Chinese word for Monkey, “Hou”, is the same as the word for clever, so let’s try to continue cleverly!

Howl is still appropriate though, as shouting is one of the traits associated with the Wood element, especially when it is out of balance. This would normally be the case with a Wood Monkey, as the Monkey’s element is metal which clashes with Wood to create pressure, maybe even rage. However, today's Wood Monkey is well balanced by the seasonal water element, so it is able to use its power more wisely. Now that is clever.

Speaking of which, the “smart” things to do today according to the Chinese almanac, are meditation, asking for blessings, visiting friends, having a haircut, travelling, even emigrating, getting married, having an astrology reading, buying or making clothes,

moving earth, fixing a roof, or setting up a tombstone.

To see how your own sign is affected today see our dedicated Wood Monkey web page and as Mondays are so hectic of late, we will return next Tuesday.

Until then, enjoy NOW!
