POWER symbol?

Today's energy of Wood Monkey would appear to be at extremes, as wood denotes expansion, whilst the metal of the monkey element signifies contraction. However, sandwiched between the two is the balancing energy of water, which can signify trade and business deals.

Consequently the Chinese almanac recommends signing contracts, trading and investing in the future by laying foundations as particularly fortunate today. Other auspicious activities include travelling, emigrating, shaving hair (or prices), fixing a roof or attending to funeral duties and Yin Feng Shui.

Of the five different types on monkey found within Chinese astrology, the Wood Monkey is the strongest and perhaps the most ambitious.  However, their emotions may rule their minds and may cause undue pressure. As you have just seen above, the water element balances this stress and allows them to more easily put their ideas into action.

We are currently in a two year water period, where the water element has received major news coverage, from the wettest summer to the excess melting of the ice caps. Accordingly, Wood Monkeys should make the most of this period, as following ground water issues next year, the pressure returns from 2014.
