January 15th – February 13th
Year of the Ox – Month of the Ox
We are now entering the month of the Ox. The animal that governs this year is the Ox. When the month and the year are in the same sign we can then understand the true character of the year. This is a very empowering month, so trust your core power. Let loose your strength and focus on your goals to take you where you deserve to be.

See what you’ve been holding onto and release the brakes so that opportunities will come to you without resistance.
Ox – If you stay on your toes this month and keep a cool head, then any strange occurrences won’t defer you from success. You’ll be able to stand tall and firmly in place. Review the past year and see where you could have done things better, and make adjustments. You’ll soon be out of the hot seat. It’s a good month for investments, promotions, and possibly even a raise. Show courage in facing your fears and know that through your courage you will find the strength to meet any tests that may lie ahead as you continue to blaze your way on your true path.
Tiger – It’s a good month for the Tiger. The Heavens are looking down at you and smiling. Stay true to yourself and have an open heart. Tigers usually don’t like to get involved in gossip or be involved in other people’s problems – stay true to your nature. A new passion may be coming into your life. Let that creative flow regenerate your emotions and your heart energy will sing! You will be feeling energized and regenerated as you begin to experience the life that you have always wanted.
Rabbit – This may be an opportune time to find a better job or at least apply yourself a little harder at work. Traveling could prove challenging. The silver lining in the cloud will reveal itself to you this month. Your creativity will be rewarded so keep a righteous view towards others. Trust and celebrate the courage you have found to face your inner obstacles – it’s been a labor of love that now will bring you abundant reward and a beautiful return.
Dragon – Some lucky stars shine for the Dragon this month but be cool and take care of those around you. Stay clear of being carried away and see where you can help. Just a little bit of sacrifice on your part and the ability to let go will benefit you greatly. A situation will be righted. Show patience and with a little bit of effort you will reach an ultimate achievement. Good news is forthcoming.
Snake – It’s a great month for the Snake. There’s magic in the air and things are going your way. Communicate with others – get your water element moving! You’ll feel a relief and joy in your heart that you haven’t felt in a long time. If you give a little now, and act with grace, perseverance, and patience a big reward is coming your way soon.
Horse – I have a funny picture in my mind of a Horse with a big black marker crossing the days off until the year of the Tiger. We are in a time called the ‘tail of the ox’. This is the most confrontational month for a Horse this year. People still may not get you, some people are just downright mean to you, and when you try to do a good deed they look at you as if you’re trying to take advantage of them. The Yun Lin Temple calendar says to perform 10 good deeds a day. Whoa! I know you’re capable of doing that. Just know it’s going to take twice the amount of effort to get anything done this month. Mistakes will take a lot to correct and it will be easy to get in fights with people. Know that Kuan Yin is there for you and remember her power is a passive power that offers mercy and gentleness to you and all those in your life. She will show you unconditional love which in turn you can show to others and thereby be healed in return.
Goat – The Ox month is a direct conflict month for the Goat. Critics abound and there could be turmoil at home. Don’t lose your temper and get into fights because they could get physical and you could get hurt. Do a benevolent deed every day. Be extra cautious when traveling, buy that extra insurance this month and be more careful with your possessions. If you feel that you’re getting pessimistic remember it’s your mind that has created this mental outlook of self-imposed limitations. It is easy for you to create your own negative realm if you’re not careful watching your thoughts. Root out the old habit patterns, stop anticipating the worst and be thankful for what you have. Knowing this and showing gratitude can change your whole world around.
Monkey – It is Monkey madness time and you should be celebrating. Bring happiness into your home. Things are moving forward in your business and your family as well. The only thing that can bring you down is other people’s negativity so if they’re supporting you stay with them and if you feel that they are tearing you down run away. Let your inner child go free and be radiant in your self-expression and genuine essence. If you get a little wacky this month the universe will support you in your irreverence. Now that’s something you should enjoy!
Rooster – This is a three harmony month for the Rooster. You should have wealth, happiness, and good health all arriving at your door. Family relationships should be flowing well so take time to do some celebrating. If you decide you want to make some investments this is the time you will experience a good return. Remember this month is a month of manifestation for you, there could be a beneficial career change, good health news, or even an inheritance coming your way. Take advantage of all opportunities – there is a breakthrough of heavenly riches into your world.
Dog – Be careful in relationships this month. Guard your mouth and monitor your passions. If anything becomes stressful just let it go and meditate. There could be a finalizing business deal and a changing of partners. Dogs are very emotional and can take things out on themselves so remember no self-destructive behavior. If you can break the cycle of self-destruction, which is the tendency this month, you can take this cycle and turn it into a very transformative and creative time.
Pig – Lucky Piggy! The blues are behind you and the time of celebration is coming soon. You should get some recognition for the work you’ve done and fame and fortune could be at your door. Remember to check in with others as you tell them about your good fortune. Pay attention to your surroundings and monitor other people’s feelings. Pigs get very exuberant and enthusiastic. Some people might misinterpret you and think you are flaunting your successes when really all you’re trying to do is share some good news. No matter, you have the power to get up and move mountains so set your goals and go for it!
