Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 8/29/16

8/29 is the day of Water Sheep in the month of Fire Monkey. This is a clash combination. It favors creativity and serving others.
This day is designated as excellent and close. It is very good for closings, closing deals, and settling things. The day has a star called Heavenly Thief. It is good taking chances, but it warns to watch out for theft, also considering that the combination of Water Sheep day and Fire Monkey month have Robbing Star. Water Sheep is also a Red Light Star, warning of a misunderstanding that can harm a romantic relationship.
A close day generally favors doing nothing of particularly important significance. In other words, take it easy.
The lunar mansion this day is Zhang, Bow. It is a very positive star, and is good for all business and personal activities.
In general, the day is good. It favors bringing matters to resolution, and is better for ordinary rather than important activities. And it cautions about theft, or being taken unfair advantage of.
Sheep, the sign of this day, is the Star of Art 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 to devote to creative work.
Sheep favors Sheep, Pig, Rabbit, Horse, and Snake; is neutral toward Monkey, Rooster, Tiger, and Dragon; clashes with Dog and Ox; and is ambivalent toward Rat.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 22, line 1.

Hexagram 22 is Pen, Grace. It is good for small matters. It is good to be active.

Line 1 favors simplicity and modesty. The zodiac sign of line 1, Rabbit, is weak by the season element, and, by the element of the hexagram, signifies power. Rabbit is for the most part in harmony with the signs of changing lines, 2, 3, and 4, is in harmony with the sign of the day, and neutral toward the sign of the month. Don't vacillate. Advance. The Water of Water Sheep day puts a tortoise in line 1. Don't tell everybody your business. Protect yourself.
