Today is the 10th of June. It is a yang fire monkey day. The monkey is yang metal. Fire controls metal. Heaven controls earth.

The chart looks like this:

• year: yin metal rabbit (wood)
• month: yang wood horse (fire)
• day: yang fire monkey (metal)

The emperor is yang fire. He is fed by yang wood although the wood is a bit tough to feed the sun.

The emperor is kind of strong as he has only the yang metal of the monkey challenging him.

The weakest element today is the yang wood which is being drained and challenged.

Yang wood controls the flow of qi in the gallbladder meridian and the gall bladder is in command of anger. If you find ire rising like bile into your throat then step back and step into your being. Anger damages both the gallbladder and the liver qi so being aware of the cycles and how they impact on us is very important. We are not meant to be victims of the flow of universal qi but aware of, responsive to and ultimately in command of. To do this we have to have reflective practices and be working with qi in a dynamic way.
