Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 7/26/16

7/26 is the day of Earth Rooster in the month of Wood Sheep. This is a clash combination. It favors courage, sagacity, shrewdness, and creativity. You may be able to get around, and take advantage of a bad situation.
This day is designated as inauspicious and full. It is called a nine earth ghost day, and harbors unlucky black sha, or killing qi. It is bad for all important activities.
A full day would otherwise be good, but, in this case, if you are not careful, the day could be full of trouble.
The lunar mansion this day is called Zui, the Beak. It is extremely negative, and unfavorable for all personal and business activities of an important nature. Nothing good comes of it.
Rooster, the sign of this day, is the Star of Romance for Monkey, Rat, and Dragon. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three signs, be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble in your romantic affairs.
Rooster is the Commanding Star for Snake, Rooster, and Ox. If you were born under one of these three signs, be careful not to force your way on others, as this is an inauspicious day and can bring undesirable consequences.
Rooster favors Ox, Snake, Dragon, and Monkey; is neutral toward Pig, Rat, Tiger, Horse, and Sheep; clashes with Rooster and Rabbit; and is ambivalent toward Dog.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 60, line 1.

Hexagram 60 is Ji, Limitation. Excess limitation must be avoided.

Line 1 Not going out of the gate is blameless. The zodiac sign of line 1, Snake, is strong by the season element, and, by the element of the hexagram signifies money. Be conscientious in your dealings. Snake clashes with the signs of changing line, 4, and is in harmony with the signs of the day and month. It favors analyzing and replanning. The Earth of Earth Rooster day puts a snake in line 1. Do not overlook what might turn out to be something you don't want. Pay attention to details and look below the surface. Not everything is as it may appear to be.
