The signs for the year, lunar month, day, and hour are Water Dragon, Fire Sheep, Earth Pig, and Wood Pig, respectively. Autumn, in Chinese reckoning, is the season of the element Metal. In the present chart we find 1 Metal, 4 Water, 6 Wood, 2 Fire, and 3 Earth. Except for the Metal of the season there is no Metal in the chart. This makes Metal extremely weak; it tells us that in the lunar months beginning on August 17, September 16, and October 15, in other words from August 17 to the beginning of Chinese winter season on November 8, alarming events may develop in the US leading up to the Presidential election. Metal represents the military and police. The chart has an extreme overbalance of Wood. Wood shows anger. People are angry.
A major focus of the chart is on what is called Implicit Talent deity. This, especially when combined with the Star of Arts found in the chart, and the strong Wood of the chart, favors all talent related professions, including careers having to do with the arts, entertainments, and tourism. This is an excellent time for creative work. Viewed in Feng Shui, pay attention to whatever area of your home is used for creative activities, especially if connected to money; the chart also has a prominent Money Storage Star. This is a good time for professionals in the arts. Instead of letting the energy drive you to madness put it to creative work.
No Metal in the chart, but in the season, is not a good sign. It shows a lack of boundaries. Metal controls Wood. Wood is too strong, and there is no Metal. When Metal shows up in the lunar months beginning on August 17 there will be danger of more violence in the country.
The year, lunar month, day, and hour of the beginning of autumn reduced to an I Ching hexagram give us hexagram 9, Xiaoxu, or TheTaming Power of the Small. The line indicated is the 5th. The hexagram indicates that it is good to do something despite the dangers or difficulties. The hexagram is good in winter, bad in summer, and warns of fighting in the autumn. Avoid unnecessary conflict. Rely on the restraining power of smallness. The 5th line says that if you are sincere and loyally attached, you will be blessed with good neighbors. Trustworthiness brings success. It also says unless you take advantage of a seemingly worthless opportunity you will have no reason to expect anything.
