Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 7/25/16

7/25 is the day of Earth Monkey in the month of Wood Sheep. This is a clash combination. It favors working hard to develop creative talent.
This day is designated as auspicious and remove. It is good for construction, renovation, bural, ground breaking, excavation of mountains, landscaping, traveling, and starting a business.
A remove day is good for getting rid of unwanted things. It is good for cleaning the house, doing spiritual practices to get rid of bad spirits, spirit releasing and space clearing in fengshui, ending bad relationships, starting a diet, going for medical procedures especially if it involves removing something, demolitions, and clearing away old stock if you run a shop.
The lunar mansion this day is Bi, or Net. It is good for everything, especially buying land and houses, construction, marriage, and making good and peaceful relationships.
Monkey, the sign for this day, is the Traveling Star for Tiger, Horse, and Dog. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three signs, this is a good day to rearrange and clean your home or work place, travel, and make positive moves in your career.
Monkey favors Monkey, Rat, Dragon, Rooster, and Dog; is neutral toward Ox, Rabbit, Horse, and Sheep; and clashes with Pig, Tiger, and Snake.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 4, line 4.

Hexagram 4 is Meng, the Fool. I don't seek out the youth. The youth seeks me out. If he asks the oracle I give him the answer. If he asks two or three times, I stop. It is favorable to persist in your goals.

Line 4 advises not getting lost in pipe dreams. The zodiac sign of line 4, Dog, is strong by the season element, and, by the element of the hexagram, signifies your creative, or business interests. Dog partly clashes with the signs of changing line, 2, is in harmony with the sign of the day, and clashes with the sign of the month. This is very active. Gold in the earth. Profits ahead. The Earth of Earth Monkey day puts a tortoise in line 4. It strongly advises discretion. Don't let yourself be energetically drained, confused by lies, or robbed. It might be better for you, and others, not to not to be too open now. Reserve your opinions.
