No cock and bull story?

Today's title originates from the height of the coaching era in the UK when The Cock and The Bull were two of the main coaching inns on a busy stop off point between the north and south of England.  It refers to the banter and rivalry between groups of travellers, which is said to have resulted in exaggerated and fanciful stories.

The reason why I chose it is that today is a Wood Ox day, which is the obvious bull. The not so apparent part is that being a Snake Year, the Ox only needs a Rooster (cock) to make a very strong metal influence. If you were born in a Rooster year, or after the first week of September, you may have one and that could make today highly memorable. You can discover whether this is you with our free Chinese horoscope.

If you are a regular reader of our feng shui blog, you will know that as there are almost thirteen million different charts in Chinese astrology, it’s impossible to generalise whether today will be spectacularly good or bad for our Rooster friends. However, follow the instructions in our attribute cycle and see for yourself.

Mind you, it is worth taking a look regardless of your Chinese animal sign as between 5pm and 7pm (local time) today, the Rooster hour will form this triple alignment and affect us all. For the rest of today the feng shui or Chinese almanac suggests meditating or honouring ancestors, travelling, seeing a doctor or choosing a treatment, buying or setting direction for your bed, opening or installing a water feature and fixing nets. Don’t lay foundations or plant seeds.

To see how your own sign is affected, see our dedicated Wood Ox web page and we will hopefully return tomorrow, although it’s extremely busy right now. Until then, enjoy every moment of NOW!
