Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 8/19/16

8/19 is the day of Water Rooster in the month of Fire Monkey. This is a clash combination. It favors caring for others and diligence.
This day is designated as inauspicious and remove. Don't get rid of things you will later wish you had kept. Avoid all major activities or forcing things today, as that could lead to disaster.
A remove day is good for spiritual practices to free yourself of distressed emotions and bad karmas. It is also good for space clearing in fengshui, decluttering your home, going for medical procedures, getting rid of unwanted things, and ending a bad relationship.
The lunar mansion this day is Lou, Mound. It is a favorable star for all personal and career activities.
Rooster, the sign of this day, is the Command Star 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 making positive progress at work.
If you were born in a year or day of Monkey, Rat, or Dragon, this is a good day for romantic affairs.
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 25, line 4.

Hexagram 25 is Wuwang, Innocence. It is good to persevere. If you are not as you should be, bad luck. Nothing will help.

Line 4 To persevere is blameless. The zodiac signs of line 4, Horse and Dog are in harmony with one another. Horse is weak and Dog is strong by the element of the season, but Dog is void and can't help. Horse and Dog are neutral toward the signs of changing line, 5, and clash with the signs of the day and month. Great hardships lead to rewards. The Water of Water Rooster day puts a worm in line 4. Pay attention to small things. Keep a low profile.
