Married under the Monkey Tree; no wonder!

Today's Wood Monkey when found in a Chinese horoscope can form a special relationship with Yang Earth and Yang Metal to denote a very special individual. It is one of three very rare combinations known as the “Three Wonders”. This particular alignment is called “Heavens Wonder” and as the other two refer to Earth and Man, the luck trinity is maintained.

People with this phenomenon are seen as natural leaders and tend to lead very special lives. Perhaps this is you? Either way, you can find out here with our free Chinese horoscope. Unfortunately, the No Wonder part of the title tells us that we do not have this alignment today. The closest we came was between 07:00 and 09:00 as this was a Yang Earth period, but as this is always calculated in “local time”, maybe it hasn’t happened for you yet.

Inspiration for the rest of today's title seemed a natural “fit” by combining Wood and Monkey into Monkey Tree. The Marriage part came from the Chinese almanac which lists this union as one of very few suitable activities today. Other suggestions were pampering, tidying up or fixing a path. However, that has more to do with this also being an “Even” day, so take it easy and don’t overdo things.

To see how your personal Chinese zodiac sign is affected see our dedicated Wood Monkey web page and we will return tomorrow on a Wood Rooster day.

Until then enjoy every moment of NOW!

Power Harecut?

You have heard of power dressing, but how about a power haircut? In researching today's title, I was amazed at the amount of websites found under this search term. I was only looking for a different way of saying it is an Earth Rabbit day, where the elemental relationship represents power and Hare is related to a rabbit, what would you come up with?

Funnily enough, translating today's Chinese almanac or book of nature recommends having a haircut as a most suitable activity. As Rabbit is aligned with the annual Dragon sign, it should be a good day for relationships and visiting friends, travelling, getting engaged or married and trading. For past relationships, it is also good for meditation or honouring ancestors and paying respects in funerary services.

To see how your personal sign is affected see our dedicated Earth Rabbit web page and as we are teaching this weekend, we will return next Wednesday.

Until then enjoy every moment of NOW!

Power cat seeks Rabbit for fish dinner

Today's Earth Tiger when viewed in isolation can be considered the most powerful of the five types of Tiger zodiac sign. Yet, occurring in a Dragon year provides a disjointed energetic combination that could lead to anger and confusion. However, Rabbit signs are the uniting link and provide the strongest possible wood influence to remain relatively unscathed. Indeed, they may have a memorable day but need to use our attribute cycle to see exactly how they will be affected. Of course; to discover if you have a Rabbit sign try our free Chinese horoscope

For all others, the Chinese almanac or book of nature translates this disjointed influence into more tranquil pursuits such as decorating, fixing nets and catching fish.

To see how your personal sign is affected see our dedicated Earth Tiger web page. We will return tomorrow on an Earth Rabbit day.

Red bull starts school!

Today's title is not meant to be a nod to feeble poetry, but is germane to today's energetic influences. Let’s see how. As you might expect, red is the colour associated with the fire element and bull is another name for the Ox, therefore it should come as no surprise that it’s a Fire Ox day.

When taken in isolation, Fire Ox is considered as the brightest or most intelligent of the five different types of Oxen in feng shui or Chinese astrology. Today's Ox is also part of the same zodiac group as this months’ Snake, and if you have a Rooster in your horoscope you too can benefit today from enhanced mental prowess. Consequently, the book of nature suggests starting school or taking a feng shui course. It also recommends visiting friends, travelling, getting married, having an astrology reading, buying or making clothes, seeing a doctor or choosing a treatment, opening a business and trading, refurbishing a home or office, laying foundations, fixing a roof, making wine or fermenting, buying or setting feng shui directions for your bed, hunting or setting up a tombstone.

The book of nature gets some of its inspiration from the position of the moon in a method known as the 28 lunar mansions. This being a “Carriage” day is noted as the key to honour, recognition and promotion and is doubly auspicious for taking a course. Also the Jian Chu system of 12 palaces in which today is known as “Success” bodes well for all other forms, especially trade. As you might expect the Chinese almanac is smiling again today.

To see how your personal sign is affected see our dedicated Fire Ox web page. We will return tomorrow on an Earth Tiger day.

Take action in Rat race cycle

Today is a Fire Rat day and as the rat is the first sign in the Chinese zodiac, its appearance always heralds a new cycle. Fire represents action and the height of energy and can also indicate passion, laughter and joy, which bodes well for global decisions and those taking an official post on the world stage.

Laughter and joy are continued within the book of nature which is said to be smiling on this highly auspicious day.  It recommends meditation or honouring ancestors,  asking for blessings, visiting friends, travelling, getting engaged, getting married, exchanging gifts, having an astrology reading, emigrating, signing contracts, opening a business and trading, refurbishing a home or office, laying foundations, fixing a roof, setting feng shui bed directions and hunting as ideal pursuits today.

A Rat day in a Dragon year is very auspicious and even more so if your personal horoscope has a Monkey sign. To discover if you have one, try our free feng shui Chinese horoscope  and it could be a very memorable day indeed.

Whatever sign you have, you can see how it will fare today on our dedicated Fire Rat web page. We will return tomorrow on a Fire Ox day.

Until then enjoy every moment of NOW!

Wet Monkey misses muddle for shampoo and set!

This has to be one of the oddest titles since writing this blog several years ago. However, it doesn’t actually matter as confusion rules the day and any title will do. Consequently, the book of nature suggests quiet preparation as today’s theme and recommends having a haircut, sweeping up or fixing cracks in walls and floors as the best course of action.

Muddles occur due to this being a Water Monkey day in a Water Dragon year and with no middle member of this water element group, communication breaks down. Interestingly the water element also represents travel and this may be affected too. It may therefore be prudent to allow extra time for travelling and remember our blog should you see any break downs.

The missing member of the group is the Rat which connects the beginning part of Monkey with the end bit of Dragon. People with Rat in their horoscope should remain unscathed and may even have a memorable time today. To discover whether this is you, try our free Chinese horoscope. If you have anything other than a Rat sign, get your friends to have a go and let those who do clarify!

We can all have a memorable day tomorrow though as it is the best day of the weekend, but to see how you will be affected today, see our dedicated Water Monkey page. Due to workload we will be back on Tuesday.

Until then enjoy every moment of NOW!

Luck returns National Treasure on Horse power?

Today's Metal Horse, when viewed in isolation is probably the most powerful of the five types of Chinese Horses in the zodiac. If this is your sign - and you can find out with our free Chinese horoscope - you can benefit from water and wood elements. This can be interpreted as kindness and communication.

In the spirit of both, we’ll tell you how to “be lucky” and make the most of today from Chinese secrets translated from the book of nature; now that’s my idea of a national treasure. It recommends suitable activities as meditation, asking for blessings, visiting friends, having a haircut, travelling, getting engaged or married, exchanging gifts, having an astrology reading, buying or making clothes, emigrating, opening a business and trading, refurbishing a home or office, laying foundations, fixing a roof, buying or setting a direction for your bed or attending to burial duties or services.

Of course there are those who believe in making their own luck and having just returned from a business trip to Hong Kong, we can see that it most definitely includes feng shui. In fact, feng shui can enable most people to turn their homes or offices into so called “luck factories”. One of our feng shui consultations or those from our recommended consultants usually inspires and empowers clients to achieve success in all they do. Now, that’s definitely a way of improving results, as well as reducing stress in our lives.

To see how your personal horoscope sign will be affected, please see our dedicated Metal Horse web page and our mostly daily recommendations will continue tomorrow on a Metal Sheep day.

Until then enjoy every moment of NOW!
