The day has a feeling of upward momentum the underlies all activity - There also seems to be many obstacles but the momentum is carrying us through. You can feel fate, almost like syrup sticking to every action and reaction.

We are entering the Southern Palace of Fire, who is ruled by the phoenix. The phoenix is the heavenly version of the energy of the next year; the Fire Rooster. This could be why we are feeling some of the precision in communication and confrontation in the air ... There is a strong need for clarification and order behind recent activity. This constellation governs all purifications and has to do with correcting one's selfish conduct.

These are the first risings of immature yang, barely barely beginning a move from the winter. It struggles to gain any kind of hold - yin does not move easily. Impulsivity may feel like the solution but it can bring harm and you will not be forgiven easily. Instead, give back - appreciate the structure that holds you and honor it. You are adapting, not the world adapting to you.
