Daily Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 8/16


Today is 8/16, the day of Earth Sheep in the month of Water Monkey, a somewhat discordant combination that gives us the deity of Conventional Wealth, favorable for all financial dealings, commerce, management, and entrepreneurship. Artists born in the year or day of Sheep, Pig, or Rabbit are favored today; it is a good day for creative work. The day brings a boost in energy to Dragon, Snake, and Horse. It is a peak day for Snake. The day brings opportunities for growth to Rooster; romance to Monkey; and financial gain to Ox.
The I Ching hexagram for today, using the King Wen method, is Hexagram 22, line 1.

Hexagram 22 is Grace. The height of grace is simplicity. Success in small matters. What looks good on the outside, may not be good on the inside; pay attention to details. Make improvements.

Line 1 says he leaves his carriage and walks. It advises doing what needs to be done now, and paying attention to self-cultivation. Line 1 has the sign Rabbit, whose element is Wood. It becomes exhausted by its relation to the changing lines, 2, 4, and 6, all of which generate Fire. In addition, it is weakened by its relation to the sign of the day, Sheep, and overcome by the sign of the month, Monkey. This means that it is better not to try, heedlessly, to go too far today, but pay attention to details, and conserve energy.

The elements of the hexagram are Earth, Fire, and Earth, a combination that reveals treasure.
