Horse can be very charming, and that works today! Double Horse day luck strong for Horse, Tiger, Sheep, and Dog. Horse hours 11 am – 1 pm.
Wed Oct 15 is Earth SHEEP day, the golden Sheep. Sheep days are fortunate in Horse year. Now is the last quarter Moon (waning half Moon) a time for balance.

Sat Oct 18 is double DOG: Water DOG day in Wood DOG month. Dog days are very fortunate in this Dog month and Horse year. Moon conjunct Jupiter trines Mars and Uranus for emotional excitement and a break from routine. You might feel a new kind of freedom, a charmed life, or experience some unexpected good luck! Many sextiles and trines bring an easy flow in life. Energy is high as Dog upholds principles of right and wrong. Double Dog day luck strong for Dog, Rabbit, Tiger, and Horse. Dog hours 7 – 9 pm.
Sun Oct 19 is Water PIG day. Sun and Venus sextile Mars for affection, romance, and sociability. Moon opposite Neptune so not a day for serious matters. Sun, Mercury, and Venus conjunction continues to share and enjoy life. Perfect day for a banquet or big gathering. Moon trine Pluto brings added sensitivity to an already sensitive Water Pig day. Energy begins to wind down to New Moon Eclipse (Solar Eclipse) on Thursday that begins the second consecutive Wood Dog month. Pig day luck strong for Pig, Tiger, Rabbit, and Sheep. Pig hours 9 – 11 pm.
Good luck and have a great week,

Hi Susan.. thank you for your astro info. I’ve been reading astrology all these years and finding bits and pieces. I’ve realised that the hours is quite accurate according to my experiences. Your information really gave me the whole scopes of whats happening and my understanding about astrology so far.
Dear Hai,
Thank you for your kind letter. Yes, the hour is interesting how it expresses the energy, especially yang hours like Dragon and Horse. Note that in your 4-Pillars birth chart, your birth hour is how you are in old age, the destination of life energy, and how to best express it.
Good luck,
Susan
