11/28 is the day of Water Rabbit in the month of Wood Pig. In itself, this is a most harmonious combination. But, it has a Knife Blade Star. Knife Blade points to obstinate, intolerant, impatient, irritable, eccentric, and reactive behavior. On the other hand, this combination has a Peach Blossom Star, and an Academic Nobleman Star. Peach Blossom Star encourages social activity and lends glamour to some. Academic Nobleman is highly intelligent, fond of learning, and has the ability to take advantage of adverse situations. All in all, the combination is bright and attractive, and has a sharp edge. It especially favors people who are gifted, disciplined, and competitive.
Rabbit is the Star of Romance for Tiger, Horse, and Dog. If you were born in the year or day of one of these three, this is a good day for romance.
If you were born in a year or day of Rabbit, Sheep, or Pig, this is a good day for pursuing your career goals.
If you were born in a year of Snake, Rooster, or Ox, this is not the best day for meetings or events. Wear something black to deflect the shar (bad luck).
Rabbit gets along harmoniously with Rabbit, Sheep, Pig, Dog, Tiger, and sometimes Dragon; neutrally with Snake, Horse, Monkey, and Ox; and discordantly with Rat, Rooster, and sometimes Dragon.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 4, line 4.
Hexagram 4 is the Undeveloped, or Youthful Folly. It symbolizes the very beginning of things, and says to use your talent in the right time. It also warns not to beg the question, and encourages you to persist in your goals. This hexagram points to troubles in winter.
Line 4 warns that obstinate behavior causes unfavorable results. The zodiac signs for line 4, Dog and Horse, are in harmony with one another, in discord with the signs of changing line 5, in harmony with the sign for the day, and neutral with the sign for the month. The Water of Water Rabbit day puts a worm in line 4. Don't overlook obstacles or red tape. Progress is possible, especially sooner than later. If you don't have a strong enough interest in your goal you may eventually lose interest in it, especially if you don't want to pay attention to details.
The elements of this hexagram are Fire, Water, and Earth. Do not withdraw. Going back leads to disaster. Do not oppose.
