Daily Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 4/18/15

4/18 is the day of Wood Rat in the month of Earth Rabbit. At new moon Earth Rabbit changes to Metal Dragon. The combination of Wood Rat and Earth Rabbit is tricky and can cause sudden changes and reversals. It can bring up anger, and favors competitiveness.
Wood Rat has great capacity for pleasure.
Rat is the Star of Romance for Pig, Rabbit, and Sheep. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three signs this is a good day for romantic affairs.
If you were born in a year  or day of Monkey, Rat, or Dragon this is a good day for making headway in your career.
Rat generally favors those born in a year, month, day, or hour of Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Ox, or Pig; is indifferent to Tiger, Snake, Rooster, and Dog; challenges Rabbit and Horse; and is either good or bad for Sheep, depending on circumstances.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 31, line 4.

Hexagram 31 is Hian, Influence. Success. Perseverance furthers. It is lucky to marry. This hexagram is good in spring.

Line 4 advises sincerity. Follow your heart. The sign of line 4, Pig, is in harmony with the signs of the day and month. The Wood of Wood Rat puts a snake in line 4. Do not doubt yourself.

The elements of this hexagram are Metal, Earth, and Metal. Good spirits guide.
