Chicken-livered but blessed all the same!

According to the Chinese almanac, today is an excellent day to start learning or to take a course. And how we translated today's Wood Rooster into the above title certainly follows this theme. Rooster as another name for chicken should be apparent, but wood into Liver is an advanced part of Chinese astrology that tells us the strengths and weaknesses of a person’s organs and equilibrium.

In ancient times, physicians would cast a Four Pillars of Destiny astrology chart to understand a person’s energy or chemistry and prescribe treatments accordingly. This was a holistic way of gently treating and balancing the patient’s energy, which usually led to a speedy recovery. Some physicians, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists still use it today. Having taught some at our school, they have told of the excellent results found by this process.

Being blessed or asking for blessings comes directly from the book of nature as another recommended activity for today. The full list includes meditation or honouring ancestors, having a haircut, travelling, getting engaged or married, ordering an astrology reading, emigrating, opening a business and trading, refurbishing a home or office, laying foundations, fixing a roof or setting up a tombstone.

Being a Rooster day in a Snake month, the Tong Shu or Book of Nature marks this as an auspicious day that should be a lucky day for all. However, to see how your personal Chinese zodiac sign is affected, see our dedicated Wood Rooster web page. We will return tomorrow on a Fire Dog day.

Until then enjoy every moment of NOW!
