11/2 is the day of Fire Ox in the month of Wood Dog. This is a partially harmonious, partially disharmonious combination that favors using creative talent to make money. Fire Ox can cause trouble in relations, especially when it concerns questions of marriage and in-laws. In a year of Horse (we are in the year of Horse), Ox also tends to react anxiously to difficulties and obstacles.
Ox is the Star of Arts 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 creative, inventive, and artistic work.
If you were born in a year or day of Tiger, Rabbit, or Dragon, this is a good day to relax and enjoy solitude.
If you were born in a year of Tiger, Horse, or Dog, this is not a good day to have important meetings or events. If you must, wear something green to help mitigate the shar (bad luck) of the day.
Ox gets along harmoniously with Ox, Snake, Rooster, Rat, Rat, and sometimes Monkey; neutrally with Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, and sometimes Monkey; and Discordantly with Horse, Sheep, and Dog.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 49, line 4.
Hexagram 49 is Ge, or Revolution. This hexagram works well for people born in a year, month, day, or hour of Tiger or Rabbit. The hexagram is especially good in winter season. It is not so good in fall. We are still in fall. On your day you are believed. Success will come through persevering.
Line 4 says this is not the time to act unless you have arrived at the right place and are ready. The zodiac signs of line 4, Pig and Monkey clash with one another, and the zodiac signs of the day and month, Ox and Dog clash with one another. Conditions are discordant. The signs of line 4 can relate both harmoniously and discordantly with the signs of the day and month; it is possible to make a move, but danger is all around. The Fire of Fire Ox puts a tiger in line 4. This is not favorable. The tiger is fierce, and warns of possible injury. It is possible to make a move, but only if you clearly see the way to do it, are willing to take a chance, and act decisively at the right moment.
The elements of this hexagram are Water, Fire, and Metal. The order of elements is destructive. Self-knowledge is required.
