Tomorrow is the Thursday the 11th of August. It is a yang earth dog day. The dog is earth and today heaven and earth are equal - all is good.

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

The emperor of the day is yang earth. The dog is earth, fire sits next to earth supporting him. The monkey is metal. The dog and the monkey, in the hour of the rooster could form the full season of metal, BUT there is no metal in the stems. It cannot happen. We are left with a relatively strong resource element. The dog and the rabbit would like to combine to make fire and there is a fire stem between them. It is a weak combination. The emperor is therefore strong with strong resource elements around him.

Taking it back to the particular - if you are, for example a strong yang wood person and you have fire in pillars around you then you will become weak today as the universal flow is from fire, to earth - you are weakened as fire is your output.

If you are in a weakening flow then you need to conserve qi. Make sure that what you eat today is aligned with your best health. Fire is about passion, animation, speaking a lot, spreading energy - if fire is your output for example then you will need to make sure that you keep as quiet as possible in meetings - make one or two points only and remember to conserve qi - an excellent day to have a massage or use your body to facilitate the flow without damaging your internal qi.
