Long lasting advancement due to previous behavior, development must be allowed time and space necessary to come into being.

Your actions today will not bring great rewards. Today is about knowing your character and trusting in the momentum of previous behavior. Any sort of spiritual practice will be beneficial today, honoring the dead. The qi of the day is hidden and gathered by quiet meditation... think seed thawing under the snow.

Metal Ox Day

solar index: Design

lunar mansion: the Willow

totem: Roebuck

There is a structure around today that is about disciplined work. If hostilities or jealousy is aroused in your environment, it is best to go about your business and it should pass on its own. You will reap the rewards in time; diligent waiting wins the day.

It is important to consider what you are working towards - aim your efforts for a meaningful future. Don't just work to work - work with integrity so that it fills you up. Contemplate contentment - move past hunger.

1.15.17

Water Tiger Day

solar index: Divide

lunar mansion: the Birdstar

totem: Horse

Ideally you have a vision of moving forward that sustains you - the path may become difficult. If you have come to a deep knowing with yourself, your ethics are true, then the perseverance required will come easily. Perseverance does not mean any kind of macho forcing of what you want, it means holding your integrity with quiet strength and knowing. Progress is envisioned, but loss it essential. In alchemy this is the process of separating the pure from the turbid.

Being too strong is to get burnt and over processed. Simplicity and the ruling of the small - signs may come to you in this way. If you are clear, these tiny movements of the universe become profound.

The slowness of this time is for all of us to "be" beyond ourselves by going into ourselves. The illusions created by the Monkey year will dissipate - dissipated chaos.
