Daily Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 8/14


Today is 8/14, the day of Fire Snake in the month of Water Monkey. This is a turbulent combination. A knife blade day for Snake, it can bring out conflict for Snake; Snake can lose its temper and strike. The combination of Fire Snake and Water Monkey clashes: Water and Fire clash; and Snake combines with Monkey to produce Water but Snake and Monkey clash with one another - it is poisonous. Ironically, this day brings possibilities of romance to Monkey. And despite the turbulence, the day generally favors Rooster and Ox. It brings growth to Rooster; positive energy to Horse and Dragon; and money luck to Horse and Ox. It favors making changes at work, traveling, and rearranging the house, making home improvements, or moving house for Pig, Rabbit, and Sheep. Friendly people come to Pig and Rooster. And improved health conditions can come to Horse.
The hexagram for the day, using the King Wen method of calculation, is Hexagram 29, line 6.

Hexagram 29 is Water, or the Abyss. It speaks of difficulties. If you are sincere, and have success in your heart, you will succeed. Water always moves along the line of least resistance. Hexagram favors Ox and Rat. If you were born in the year, month, day, or hour of Ox or Rat you can benefit by this. There is a way out of difficulties.

Line 6 fights with Snake, but is supported by Monkey. Earlier difficulties, later success. What rises falls. The advice is to move like water.

The elements of the hexagram are all Water. The power of Water is at its height. Luck comes from the north. This implies secrecy. Sailing the ocean with the six great tortoises in harness is profitable. Because the day is ruled by yin Fire, it puts a tortoise in line 6 to confirm this reading. The tortoise means privacy. Play your cards close to the chest.
