10/9 is the day of Water Ox in the day of Wood Dog. Water Ox favors education. It is industrious, and encourages the development of plans and projects. The combination of Water Ox with Wood Dog is partly harmonious. It calls for extra effort, and favors creativity and hard work.
If you were born in a year or day of Snake, Rooster, or Ox, this is an especially good day for you if you are involved in creative, inventive, or artistic work.
Ox is in harmony with Ox, Snake, Rooster, Rat, Dragon, Monkey, and Pig, and in discord with Horse, Sheep, Dog, Tiger, and Rabbit.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 22, line 1.
Hexagram 22 is Grace. Step by step it gets better and better. It is good to do something. Pay attention to small things. Simplicity is the height of grace. This hexagram is good in fall.
Line 1 advises doing whatever is necessary. It favors self-cultivation. The zodiac sign of line 1, Rabbit, is in partial harmony with the signs of changing line 3, in discord with the sign for the day, Ox, and in strong harmony with the sign for the month, Dog. The Water of Water Ox puts a tortoise in line 1 advising privacy. If you discreetly tend to your own business, and patiently deal with whatever difficulties there are, while guarding against theft of any sort, your efforts will be successful.
The elements of this hexagram are Earth, Fire, and Earth. Treasures are revealed.
