Many changes are happening now, not all favorable. Dragon is in harmony with 3/4 of the signs of the changing lines, and with the sign of the day, but clashes with the sign of the month. There is a challenge. The Fire of Fire Pig day also puts a worm in line 2. This shows action running into an obstacle or tangle. What is necessary, therefore, is to become strongly centered and to arrange everything you are doing around your central resolve. Then you will meet your challenge and succeed.
