FEATURES Chinese Astrology & F By Raphael Simons


The period of April 1st to May 1st comes between two lunar months. These two months are called Wood Dragon, beginning March 22nd, and Wood Snake, beginning April 21st. In the middle of these two comes the Chinese solar period of 3 Wood Star. All in all, this is a time for getting active and approaching life creatively. In both of these lunar months, the balance is on the side of Yang. This means that this period favors starting new activities.


In the lunar month beginning March 22nd the predomi- nant element is Wood. Wood favors planning and decid- ing. Wood grows and needs to branch out, and move forward and upward. Wood is resilient and productive. Being active now is how you can avoid possible frustra- tion and anger.


In the lunar month beginning April 21st


the predominant element is Water. The power of Water is concentration. Putting both months together, we see that your plans and activities need to become clearly focused toward the end of April and through May. Be sure you feel right about your decisions.


The vital element of the lunar month beginning March 22nd is Earth. Let Earth guide your planning and deci- sion making; be practical. Earth also says be depend- able, and tolerant. The vital element of the lunar month beginning April 21st is Wood. Wood encourages you to act creatively. Take advantage of the energies this spring to get your projects going. The month starting April 21st has a star called Peach Blossom, favoring social activity and romance. Look your best and enjoy good company. The color of Wood is green.


The lunar period starting March 22nd favors people working in talent related professions such as art, music, and theater, also law, diplomacy, sales, and anything that involves being inventive. The lunar period start- ing April 21st favors speculating and trading. If you are involved in an independent creative venture, the unfolding conditions should encourage you to take a chance. If you are in a steady job, work to shine your best later in April and May.


The lunar months reduced to I Ching hexagrams give us hexagrams 7 (The Army), and 13 (Fellowship). This shows a trend through this period to join forces with others of like mind to move toward common goals. The significant lines read in these hexagrams are line 2 in hexagram 7, and line 5 in hexagram 13. They say that ideal leadership brings blessings, and that through persevering to overcome whatever difficulties there may be, fellowship and success will be attained. Exercising intelligent leadership will bring good fortune.


Predictions for your sign


Rat in both lunar months is in a very strong position. Almost anything you aim for will work out in your favor provided you don’t lose your patience and start unnec-

essary trouble. You are particularly attractive to others later in April and May. Organize your home and place of business, and engage in whatever research you might need to do, so that you feel secure and comfortable; you will attract the friends you seek.


Ox is in a period that favors creative activity. If you successfully manage others who come to you making demands, you will profit later in the spring.


Tiger is in a period in which it is to your advantage to study, and to use your surprising intelligence to turn adverse circumstances to your advantage. While you may be surrounded by friends it is to your advantage to think and act independently. Make sure you organize your home and work place to your liking later in the spring. You will feel a lot better if you do.


Rabbit is in a period in which helpful people are forth- coming. To make the most of it place a vase of flowers in the east area of your home or work place. Organize your space later in the spring so you feel more sup- ported and comfortable. Be careful to avoid useless conflict with a rat.


Dragon is in a fairly challenging period in the month starting March 22nd, and in an easier period starting April 21st. If you are having any health issues, it should improve later in the spring. Demands made on you ear- lier will resolve such that you will have the advantage later on. If you are involved in the healing profession your abilities will increase with the moon starting April 21st.


Snake wins friendly help in both of these lunar months. The month of March 22nd gives you the star called Tien Yi. This blesses you with good fortune. A relation- ship that develops now will make you very happy. In the month of April 21st you will be able to exert some shrewd skills to your advantage. You will need them. While you are getting a lot of desired support in the month of March 22nd, you will find that the expecta- tions and demands that are being put upon you from other quarters later in April and early May will require you poise yourself to strike a balance. Wearing some- thing yellow or orange will help weaken your opposition later in April and into May.


Horse is in a period that can turn from possible earlier frustration to joy later in April and in May. If you have a romantic interest it will flourish. Arrange your home or place of work in the month of March 22nd to bring financial gains and love in the month of April 21st.


Sheep is in a period in which the many demands made on your time and energy, especially in the month of March 22nd, will give way to gains in the month of April 21st. At the same time, the month of March 22nd has some powerfully friendly energy that can make you feel very happy. This is a good period.
