Daily Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 2/7/15

2/7 is the day of Wood Tiger in the month of Fire Ox. This is a harmonious combination. It favors using your talent to make money. Wood Tiger brings prosperity, helps resolve difficulties, and attracts friendly, helpful people.
Tiger is a Traveling Star for Monkey, Rat, and Dragon. If you were born in a year or day of one of these three this day may be busy, good for travel, reorganizing your home and/or work place, and for making good moves in your career.
2/7, 8, and 9 are not the best days for attending important meetings or events for people born in years of Snake, Rooster, and Ox. Be careful not to let others use you to your disadvantage. Wear something black to deflect shar (bad luck).
If you were born in a year of Pig, Rabbit, or Sheep, this is a good day for making plans, but not a good day for getting into an argument. You might find yourself short of patience.
If you were born in a year or day of Pig, Rat, or Ox, this is a good day for solitude.
Tiger favors Tiger, Horse, Dog, Rabbit, Dragon, and Pig; is neutral toward Sheep, Rooster, Rat, or Ox; and clashes with Snake, and Monkey.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 63, line 3.

Hexagram 63 is Jiji, Completion. Success in small things. It is good to persevere. At the beginning there is luck. At the end there is disorder. Know where to stop.

Line 3 advises using only those who are best qualified. The illustrious ancestor carries out an attack on the devil's country, and after three years conquers it. Do not use inferior men for such an undertaking. The zodiac sign of line 3, Pig, is in harmony with the signs of changing line 2, and with the signs of the day and month. The Wood of Wood Tiger day puts a worm in line 3. It is good to persevere and move forward, but there is an obstacle or problem in the matter you need to pay attention to.

The elements of this hexagram are Water, Fire, and Water. Look deeply into the matter if you find an obstacle.

Daily Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 10/10/14

10/10 is the day of Wood Tiger in the month of Wood Dog. Wood Tiger is a Star of Prospects. It focuses strongly on financial matters. The combination of Wood Tiger with Wood Dog is dynamic and partially harmonious. It favors taking independent, decisive action, especially in speculative professions.
If you were born in a year or day of Tiger, this is good day to get a lot accomplished.
This is a peak day for you if you were born in a year or day of Rabbit.
If you were born in a year or day of Monkey, Rat, or Dragon, this is a good day for traveling, rearranging your home or work place, and for making a positive move in your career.
Tiger is in harmony with Tiger, Horse, Dog, Pig, Rabbit, and Rat, neutral with Dragon and Sheep, and in various degrees of discord with Monkey, Snake, Rooster, and Ox.
The I Ching hexagram for this day, using the King Wen method, is number 20, line 4.

Hexagram 20 is Contemplation. The ablution has been made, but not the offering. People look to him with trust. Contemplating the effects of your actions on those above and below you shows you the degree of your success. The meaning of this hexagram is good in fall, and is auspicious for those born in the 8th month, the month of August - September.

Line 4 favors taking a broad, universal view. The zodiac sign of line 4, Sheep, is in a position calling for giving support. Demands are being made. Line 4 is in fairly good harmony with the signs of changing lines 1, 3, and 6. Line 4 is neutral with the sign for the day, Tiger, and is in discord with the sign for the month, Dog. The Wood of Wood Tiger puts a snake in line 4. There is something hidden and strange in the matter. It is to your advantage to reflect on needless burdens, and how you let others make unnecessary demands on you, that impede your progress, and let them go.
