Thursday is the yang earth dog day. The dog is earth. This is a supportive relationship between the stem and the branch - earth sitting over earth. It also means that all the elements are present in the cycle. We have earth feeding metal, feeding water, feeding wood, feeding fire, feeding earth. They are all yang. The strongest element today is the emperor (yang earth) - in I Ching parlance = no fault.

The industries supported today are those to do with communication, with petroleum, with wine, with bottled water, with tourism with education and philosophy. Shipping and other forms of transportation are also supported. If you are looking for quick gains today look to these industries as these are the wealth industries.

The most significant energy today is that of the supporting role to the emperor. The dog, the horse and the tiger form the complete 'frame' of fire. This means that the emphasis will be on inspiration, on 'receiving guidance', on meditation, planning and resourcing projects. It can also be on teaching others, skill sharing, mentoring. If fire is a challenge in your chart then do look after your health, avoid angry outbursts or ill considered, rash or careless words or actions.

The dog and the dragon are in clash. As the dragon is also earth this can mean obstacles to your projects or ideas, however these clashes are modified according to your day master. If you are a yin or yang day master, if your day master is in clash with the emperor of the day. Does that clash actually bring you opportunity? These are some of the deeper nuances of deeper reading of your personal chart.

I haven't looked at the hexagram for the day for over a week. We have Kun sitting over Qian - The receptive sitting over the creative - Tai - Advance. According to Alfred Huang 'Tai means peace, safety, security, good health; or it suggests progression. proceeding, advancing'. This hexagram is congruent with the energies of the day - resource supporting the emperor of the day.

Your challenge today is to manifest support for at least 3 other people today.  Support can be in the form of words of encouragement, doing something loving and lovely for them, sharing a wonderful moment, deliberately going out of your way to support them.  Even consider paying it forward.
