Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 1/14/18

1/14 is the day of Fire Horse in the lunar month of Water Rat. This combination clashes.
This day is designated as dire and initiating. It is bad for all major undertakings.
Begin something major on an initiate day and have misfortune; begin only something small or begin nothing.
The lunar mansion is Xing, Star. This asterism is favorable for negotiating.
Horse, the sign of the day, is in harmony with Dog, Tiger, Snake, and Sheep; neutral with Monkey, Rooster, Pig, Rabbit, and Dragon; and clashes with Rat, Ox, and Horse.
If you were born in a year or day of Snake, Rooster, or Ox, you may have some success in romantic matters today if you don't go too far.
If you were born in a year or day of Tiger, Horse, or Dog, you can make some progress in your work today.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 43, line 5.

Hexagram 43 is Kui, Decision. One must make the matter known truthfully in court. Also one must announce it in one's own city to avert a resort to arms. Advancing is dangerous.

Line 5 Be thorough. The zodiac signs of line 5 are Rooster and Monkey. By the element of the season, both are weak. By the element of the hexagram, both signify the development of creative and business interests. Rooster and Monkey are neutral with the signs of the day and month. The sequence of elements is hostile, signifying potential loss. Use caution. The Fire of Fire Horse day puts a tortoise in line 5. Guard yourself.
