Taoists practicing in the 24 points of the solar term

I have also added a solar term calendar to the home page. Be sure to set your time zone and location to ensure accurate time calculation. You can instantly see where we are in the solar year and relate your practice directly to the Heaven and Earthly energy relating to that time. Watch carefully at the major changes (equinoxes and solstices).

Hsien Tien Method page upgraded

The Hsien Tien method of accessing the I Ching is the most popular page on the Energy Master site by significant margin. I recently updated the page and method to include the option of correcting the calculation for your local time zone. The ancient Chinese were extremely precise in their time calculations. All official time related to one reference in the imperial capital, and even today, China lives under one time zone (+8) and Chinese are used to there being an 'official' time and a 'local time'. Local time is Sun time. The time the sun is highest in the sky and directly south is local noon. Taoists use local noon for all astrological and biological calculations. The possessed incredibly accurate solar water clocks in relative antiquity and could easily determine longitude to great accuracy before western civilization had even primitive time-keeping. click here to continue.

To you Rat, I give my seed and the honour of sowing it. Every seed will become a plant and multiply a million times, But you will have no time to see it grow. You are like a small child, determined, without a plan. You are the starting point, renewing the Idea. You are the governor of the Gallbladder. Your life means action, providing people with good judgement, assertiveness, decisiveness and determination. For your good work, I give you the virtue of Self-Assertion. But beware. It is not your task to feed and develop or to doubt the Idea or to use your qualities for other reasons; Then you will be the cause of unreasonable anger. Furthermore you will show signs of poor judgement, indecisiveness and a lack of self-assertion even becoming hypochondriac, or you may overcompensate, becoming a self-satisfied person complaining about all the mistakes other people make. You have a sensitive sense of justice; the world seems wrong to you. So use your qualities well.
