The lunar mansion is Niu, Ox. This is a disaster star. No important personal or business activity should be undertaken today.
If you were born in a year or day of Tiger, Horse, or Dog, this day is good for creative work.
Dog, the sign of the day, is in harmony with Dog, Tiger, Horse, Rabbit, and Monkey; neutral with Pig, Rat, and Snake; clashes with Ox, Dragon, and Sheep; and is ambivalent with Rooster.

Hexagram 59 is Huan, Disperson. The king approaches his ancestral temple. It is advantageous to cross the great water. Firm correctness brings rewards.

Line 5 Amid dispersion he issues commands, with much persperation. The king dispenses his treasures. No error. The zodiac sign of line 5 is Snake. By the element of the season, Snake is strong. By the element of the hexagram, Snake signifies friends and colleagues. Snake is in harmony with the signs of changing line, 3, is neutral with the sign of the day, and clashes with the sign of the month. The sequence of elements points to new growth, and inner strength. The Fire of Fire Dog day puts a tortoise in line 5. The tortoise guards its privacy.
