Today is July 24, 2013 which is a Xin Mao (Yin Metal Rabbit) day in the Chinese Almanac. Coincidentally(?) a crew of men with chain saws, loppers and pruners showed up in my neighbor’s yard (which borders mine) to take down a good amount of height from the English Laurel hedge which is in the east location for my house.

Yesterday was July 23, 2013 which was a Geng Yin (Yang Metal Tiger) day in the Chinese Almanac. Coincidentally(?) my son injured his right hip. The metal in the stem and the wood in branch activated the Tiger and Rooster that are side by side in his chart. They are located in the hour and day pillars which would indicate the right side of the body. Metal versus wood can sometimes indicate an injury to bones or extremities.
