A day of new beginnings, perhaps leading to hidden treasures?
I like a title that works on many levels and today is no
exception. Firstly, it’s a Wood Dragon day and this particular type of Wood
denotes a new heavenly cycle, therefore entering
a new cycle. And secondly... it’s a Dragon day!
But that’s pretty obvious, so there must be something else
happening too. Well in the Twelve Palaces system of divination, today is an Open day that makes it appropriate to
enter a new phase and do new things such as taking a
course. The Chinese almanac also recommends
meditating or honouring ancestors, having a haircut, getting engaged, having an
astrology reading, emigrating or fixing
a roof.
It advises against laying foundations or opening a
warehouse, but that’s because it’s also a
Ghost day in the 28 Lunar
mansion system, and you don’t want long term endeavours to return to haunt you,
do you?
We started with news of a heavenly cycle and we end with
news of another, namely tomorrow’s New Moon, traditionally a time to start new
ventures. I am reminded that as “one door opens, another closes” and sadly the
1973 film of Enter the Dragon was the
last made by legendary Bruce Lee. However, it marked the start of Jackie Chan’s’
career, who was actually also born under the Dragon influence.
If like other Wood Dragon celebrities such as Matt Dillon,
Juliette Binoche, Russell Crowe , Lenny Kravitz , Sandra Bullock, Clive Owen,
Joss Stone, Tom Clancy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seth Rogan, Leonardo Da Vinci,
Jennifer Garner, Maria Sharapova and Kirsten Dunst, you would like to discover
what today has in store for your Chinese zodiac sign, please see our dedicated Wood Dragon web page.
As we are teaching this weekend we will return from next
Wednesday. Until then, enjoy every moment of NOW!
