1/24 is the day of Metal Rat in the month of Fire Ox. This is a partly harmonious combination that can cause sudden, unexpected changes. It favors research and creativity. The combination brings out three lucky stars, Tien Yi, Tien De Gui Ren, and Yue De Gui Ren, all which resolve problems, improve matters, and bring help and good fortune.
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 an especially good day for loving relationships.
If you were born in a year or day of Monkey, Rat, or Dragon this is a good day for taking positive action in the direction of your aims, especially in your career.
Rat gets along well with Rat, Ox, Dragon, Monkey, Pig, and sometimes Sheep; neutrally with Tiger, Snake, Rooster, and Dog; and problematically with Rabbit, Horse, and sometimes Sheep.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 50, line 2.
Hexagram 50 is Ding, the Cauldron. It brings the highest good fortune and success. It signifies social relations. People get together for food and conversation. It helps to empty and clean the pot in order to prepare new food. This hexagram is good in winter.
Line 2 encourages us to be filled with positive thoughts and high aspirations for one another. The zodiac sign for line 2, Pig, is in a fairly harmonious relation to the signs of changing lines 5 and 6, and in strong harmony with the signs for the day and month. It encourages joining forces. The Metal of Metal Rat day puts a tortoise in line 2. Reserve your criticism of others. Show humility.
The elements of this hexagram are Fire, Wood, and Fire. There is food for all. Share.
