Dec 23 – 29, 2013 The Week in Chinese Astrology

Highlights this week are a double Rat Tuesday, a steady Ox Christmas, and a double Snake Sunday!

Mon Dec 23 is a Water Pig day when the Moon trines Pluto for increased sensitivity. Sun squares Mars and Uranus in a T-square so don’t inflate problems. Be the peacemaker on a Pig day. Sun conjuncts Mercury to see only your point of view. Pig day luck strong for Pig, Tiger, Rabbit, and Sheep and during Pig hours 9 pm – 11 pm.

Tues Dec 24 is a double Wood Rat day, a Wood Rat day in a Wood Rat month. Time to be industrious! Sun and Mercury sextile Neptune for creativity coupled with Rat ingenuity. Moon trines Venus for sensual delights on  Christmas Eve! Rat day luck strong for Rat, Ox, Dragon, and Monkey and during Rat hours 11 pm – 1 am (triple Rat).

Wed Dec 25 is a Wood Ox day on Christmas! Now is a waning half Moon, a time for balance. Moon and Mars are opposite Uranus so stay steady and not be accident prone. Sun and Moon square Mercury so slow down if there are misunderstandings. Moon conjuncts Mars, and Pluto has three squares, so be merry, be bright — not irritable and looking for an argument. Ox day luck strong for Ox, Rat, Snake, and Phoenix (Rooster) and during Ox hours 1 am – 3 am.

Thurs Dec 26 is a fire Tiger (red Tiger) day. Sun and Mercury sextile Neptune for stronger intuition, more instinctive like a Tiger. Sun, Mercury, and Pluto are conjunct for penetrating insight and communication. But be nice due to many squares between Sun, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, and Pluto. Delay your plans if not feeling lucky! Planetary squares bring out the rebel in Tiger. Tiger day luck is strong for Tiger, Dog, Horse, and Pig and during Tiger hours 3 am – 5 am.

Fri Dec 27 is a sensitive Fire Rabbit day. Moon trines Neptune for inspiration, Moon sextiles Mercury for good communication, and Moon squares Venus for extravagance or artifice that Rabbit likes. Create some romance tonight. But the ongoing squares in the heavens could result in delays or fighting. So be diplomatic on a Rabbit day! Rabbit day luck strong for Rabbit, Sheep, Dog, and Pig and during Rabbit hours 5 – 7 am.

Sat Dec 28 is a powerful Earth Dragon day. Moon conjuncts Saturn so a bit more serious today. Fortunately, Moon trines Jupiter for art, beauty, and lovely social times that Dragon craves. Ongoing planetary squares could bring a short temper, or tendency to be bossy on a Dragon day. And no one wants to be told what to do! Dragon day luck strong for Dragon, Rat, Snake, and Monkey and during Dragon hours 7 – 9 am.

Sun Dec 29 is a double Snake day; an Earth Snake day in a Water Snake year! Moon sextiles Venus for creativity, an intimate party, can connect deeply with others. Or create a quiet Snake day. With many planetary squares, it’s not worth your effort to crusade on a Snake day. Take care, rest if needed. Learn about your 2014 Forecast on this deep Snake day. Snake day luck strong for Snake, Ox, Monkey, and Phoenix and during Snake hours 9 – 11 am (triple Snake).

Good luck,
