As happy as a pig in … glorious mud?

Didn’t expect that end to the title did you? Today's Water Pig sign falls in an earth month of Dog and when we mix these two elements together, we get mud. However, when in the right quantity, the earth element guides and empowers the water element and that outcome can be glorious. For example, canals are concrete channels used for water transport. On a more subtle level ceramics (earth) are used to control electricity (water).

Today's Pig is part of the same group as the annual Rabbit sign and that in itself can suggest a glorious day especially when spent with friends. Other recommendations made by the Chinese almanac are meditation, refurbishing a home or office, having a haircut, fixing a roof, seeing a doctor or choosing a treatment, as well as buying or setting directions for your bed or oven.

In the 28 Lunar mansions, it is a “Neck” day and should you start a lawsuit or marry today, you might well feel the effects or “get it in the neck”. According to the old proverb, this means punishment and criticism; probably not something you would want to drag out for a long period of time.

On the subject of time, today marks the end of a sexagesimal cycle and tomorrow see the start of a new one that will take us through the winter period. A Neck day falling as it does in autumn suggests a wet harvest.

To see how our daily horoscope affects your own signs see our Water Pig web page. We will return on Tuesday as Mondays are usually crazy after the weekend, when it will be a Fire Rabbit day and the start of a new month and season.

Until then, enjoy NOW!
