Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 5/29/16

5/29 is the day of Metal Pig in the month of Water Snake. This is a partly harmonious combination. It favors diligence, simplicity, and stability.
Destructive energies are strong this day. It is an inauspicious day.
The energies of this day attract small-minded people, legal problems, losses of wealth, and dangers of illness. The advice is to do nothing important, or take no important action this day. The unfavorable directions are southeast, south, and northwest.
This day is good, however, for trustworthy, forthright, virtuous conduct, and discipline; also divination, retreating, and solitude. The favorable directions are southwest and northeast.
Pig, the sign of this day, is the Traveling Star for Snake, Rooster, and Ox. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three signs, this is a good day for making progress in your work and cleaning your house. But, considering the inauspicious nature of the day, don't travel unless it is unavoidable.
Pig favors Rabbit, Sheep, Tiger, Rat, and Ox; is neutral toward Dragon, Horse, Rooster, and Dog; and clashes with Pig, Sheep, and Monkey.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 62, line 4.

Hexagram 62 is Xiaoguo, Narrow Pass. Small things can be done, not great things. The flying bird brings the message that it is good to stay below, not strive upward.

Line 4 No blame. To go out is dangerous. Be on guard. Don't act. Persevere. Don't try to force anything. The zodiac sign for line 4, Horse, is strong by the element of the season, and, by the element of the hexagram, signifies challenges, enemies, or demands. Horse is neutral toward the sign of the day, and in harmony with the sign of the month. Seek to avoid. The Metal of Metal Pig day puts a raven in line 4. There is danger of quarreling and fighting.
