Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 1/22/16

1/22 is the day of Water Rabbit in the month of Earth Ox. This is a partly discordant combination. It brings out deity of Imposing Authority who favors those who are authoritative, aspiring, vigorous, alert, decisive, bold, and who take the lead through dangerous conditions. It also contains an Academic Nobleman star that gives the ability to take advantage of difficult circumstances, and turn things around.
Rabbit is the Commanding Star for Pig, Rabbit, and Sheep. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three signs, this is a good day for taking care of many things, and making progress in your career.
Rabbit favors Rabbit, Sheep, Pig, Dog, and Tiger; is neutral toward Snake, Horse, Monkey, and Ox; clashes with Rooster and Rat; and is ambivalent toward Dragon.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 64, line 3.

 Hexagram 64 is Weiji, Before Completion. Success. But if the little fox gets his tail wet before crossing the stream, it doesn't further. This means that unless you pay full attention to what you are doing to the very end, you risk failure.

Line 3 If you have made mistakes, make necessary changes and corrections before proceeding, or start all over again. The zodiac sign of line 3, Horse, is weak by the season, and, by the hexagram, represents people who come to you, such as siblings, friends, colleagues, and general associates. Horse is partly in harmony with the signs of changing line, 5, neutral toward the sign of the day, and clashes with the sign of the month. Not everyone is welcome. The Water of Water Rabbit day puts a raven in line 3. You could be annoyed by someone, or attract someone who gets annoyed with you. Be careful not to get into an argument. Screen your calls.
