Happy New Year! Gung hay fat choy!
It is my hope that your holidays were festive and joyous. It is my intention that you took the time and opportunity to facilitate closure to the past and release more baggage and that you laid out some plans to follow and some details on HOW to achieve things that you really desire - easily effortlessly in healthy and balanced ways for the greater good of all - as the beginning of the new year is FULL with LOTS of energy and momentum -so that in moving forward into the new year you are less encumbered and more free to move forward with a direction prepared for the rapid flow of energy. Discernment will be an important mantra for 2012 -
Tarot January 2012 is the 2 of Wands - the world is in our hands! This is a card about mastery - of life and of ourselves. The number two is symbolic of making choices, and 2 s are about balance. It indicates the ability to follow through on our personal destiny, to make our dreams into reality, and to realize our strongest desires. Time to take responsibility for the future we are making for ourselves. We must do this by observing (without judgment nor self-recrimination) our thought patterns. We must consider where those thought patterns are leading us,and if we don't like the look of the future - well, we have the opportunity to change it before it's too late!! In general the 2 of Wands reminds us to stay mindful of the give-and-take required for all successful relationships. If things are feeling "out of balance" for you, know that they are about to get substantially better. Keep your eyes on the prize, set your vision and remain or get positive.
Questions to ask yourself this month: Am I acting from a well-informed place? Am I counting my blessings and showing gratitude for the current abundance in my life? What kind of leader am I, and how can I improve? Am I caring for my assets, and insuring my future proliferation? How are my thoughts, my choices and my world serving me? Am I being the person I wish to become?
Full moon is in Cancer the morning of January 9th This magnificent moon is also known as the wolf moon or moon after Yule. This moon rules areas of people, dreams and karmic memories. You may be become touchy emotionally, and need to hide in your shell sometimes. When the Moon is in Cancer, it may be a time of tense emotions and great sensitivity as people respond to life through emotions rather than reason. During this very revered period be cautious not to emotionally wound others or allow yourself to be wounded. Watch out for crabbiness! Generally, people will be passive, easy-going, sentimental, loving and nurturing a great time for creative projects, relationships and business.
The moon in Cancer brings encouragement, emotions, compassion, and imagination. The Watery Cancer Moon brings up memories of childhood. It is ultimately a time for optimism, hope, creativity and intuition, although it's wise to keep at least one foot on the ground. Many of us will want to focus that energy into our homes, It's a good time to make plans and work out the logistics of how to get from "here" to "there" in pursuing ambitions. It's time to bring closure to finished goals, by distilling and systemizing what we've learned in the past several months. This will probably require a bit of effort to make it happen, but the opportunity is there if you choose to take it.
During the moon in Cancer, allow the opportunity to reflect upon our past to release and find completion with thoughts, people, places and things that no longer serve the epitome of you. It is time to revel sentiments, perhaps very deep ones that we may have held on to unspoken for a long time; to forgive (yourself and others) to be more kind and nonjudgmental. A great time for release, forgiveness in order to gain clarity and shift perspective for becoming the best you possible. A great time to let go of the old, make room for the new and to move forward with less baggage and a clear vision. YEAH COMPLETION!!
The New Moon January 23rd in Aquarius AND Chinese Lunar Year Begins (The Year of the Water Dragon). Mars will turn retrograde on the Chinese New Year, January 23rd, and this may bring a readiness to slow down and "hibernate" as the month ends. Dragon years usually bring large happenings, either good or bad - an abundance of yang energy. However, they are positive for finance, and the water dragon acts more considerately then his fellow dragons. The dragon's obstinate ego will bring power and bold ambition to 2012, making it a good time to start a business or get married. It will be important to take a step back to re-evaluate a situation, and ensure that we make informed decisions. The energy of the Aquarians is to break out of usual ways of thinking, and make space for the zingy new and consider the effect of the greater good and humanitarian efforts. It is the momentum for change. Find ways to experiment with changing your life by changing your thoughts. And expanding your actions to the ripple of good.
What you may witness, feel, or experience this month: Challenges and completion with mothers or other female relationships - nurturing aspects of family and friends. Depression, uncertainty, realignement of boundaries. balance, greater awareness on the overall benefit for the greater good - working with judgment, communication, establishing discernment, clarity and truth. Ending past relationships and being complete with people places and situations that no longer serve you as you reflect back to the past to gain completion and closure to move forward with freedom, momentum and a new level of excitement and expectancy. Time to have your mental thoughts be strong - and take responsibility to understand and be aware of the situations that you are creating in your life. New energy of taking action with a humanitarian plan, partnerships, working to be on the positive side of things - great time to work with balance, Chakra alignment, yoga, or tai-chi. Most importantly - thoughts become things (so choose the good ones) and realize that you are stronger and healthier than you think!
It is my desire for you to have Peace of mind, Happiness that multiplies, Health for you and your family, Laughter around every corner, Energy to chase your Dreams, Joy to fill your holidays and Prosperity throughout the year.
Safe Travels and Happy, Happy New Year!
