Yang Fire · Monkey

Temple gold — illustration for Yang Fire · Monkey

Chinese Four Pillars names each day with two characters: a stem carrying one of five elements, and a branch carrying one of twelve animals. The pair repeats every sixty days.

The Monkey underneath: cleverness and improvisation. Try the workaround before the plan.

Try this: say the true thing somewhere low-stakes first.
