Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 8/14/16

8/14 is the day of Earth Dragon in the month of Fire Monkey. This is a harmonious combination. It favors creativity.
This day is designated as inauspicious and success. It favors minor activities, not major activities such as breaking ground, beginning construction, moving house, and getting married, as such will bring bad luck within 3, 6, or 9 years.
A success day is good for positive starts. It is also good for going to medical treatment. But it is bad for burials, as that will adversely affect the luck of future generations.
The lunar mansion this day is Xu, the Void. This is a totally negative star, and is bad for all major personal and commercial activities. It also warns of illness.
Dragon, the sign of this day, is the Star of Art for Monkey, Rat, and Dragon. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three signs, this is a good day for creative work.
Dragon favors Monkey, Rat, Rooster, and Tiger; is neutral toward Snake, Horse, Sheep, Pig, and Ox; clashes with Dragon and Dog; and is ambivalent toward Rabbit.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 55, line 5.

Hexagram 55 is Feng, Abundance. Be happy. Be like the sun at noon.

Line 5 Blessings and fame. Good luck. The zodiac signs of line 5, Monkey and Rooster, are in harmony with one another, and are strong by the element of the season. By the element of the hexagram, they signify resources. Monkey and Rooster are partly in harmony with the signs of changing lines, 2 and 3, and are in harmony with the signs of the day and month. Good spirits guide. The Earth of Earth Dragon day puts a dragon in line 5. This is auspicious, and favors taking positive, creative action within proscribed limits.
