Tuesday 27^th of July is a fast one – yang earth tiger day. The tiger is wood and wood controls or breaks up earth. There are two tigers on the prowl today – they combine well, strengthening each other and making the qi of the day very even.

There is good wealth with employment, jobs, hard work being rewarded.

There is great output which is held in check by the other energies so people looking for academic or creative output support will find it today.

There is enough qi sha in the day to action plans and excellent intuition and resource for the yang earth emperor.

In addition to that support we have the yuan between the earth and the yin water producing a 2^nd element of fire. The fire is resource to the day master (emperor) so this is a very favourable combination.

Over all a very good day for business.

The I Ching for today is Gen sitting over Gen. This is Gen – Keeping Still. You can see this as the point before action, the point before the tiger springs. The point when the cat stand with his paw in mid air when he spies something that is his fancy. As Alfred Huang says it is not just keeping the body still, but the mind as well.

Your challenge today is to factor in some deep meditation time. Make sure you do it twice today, in the morning and the evening. Stretch that muscle – make sure that you extend the time that you give to your meditation if you usually sit for 10 minutes make it 12 minute, if you sit for 20 minutes make it 22 minutes. Rather using a guided practice use and Vipassana style. If you don't have experience with sitting quietly or still then seek out a teacher, it is a very powerful and liberating technique with many, many benefits to the physical body as well as the mind. If you would like a preview then go to the grounded meditation for a brief introduction to it in the beginning of the mediation.
