Monday August 19th Wood Rabbit 乙卯
Star: 3

The tears of the pious are not enough to change today’s sadness but every action has an equal and opposite reaction. We just don’t always get to know what it is.

Friday August 16th Water Rat 壬子

Day Officer: Success
Aggressive moves. The process that’s been happening under the surface finds some kind of completion, but not an ending. Even on an inauspicious day someone is lucky.
