Oct. 5th – Oct. 11th

This week it is important to let the sincerity in your heart light your path. Everything around you is a mirror of what you hold within. Let your experiences and feelings be in the highest quality of love so your true self can shine to all beings and you will see your own higher nature reflected back to you in divine ways.

This week’s featured product from Feng Shui Shopper: Sun/Moon mirrors

The animal that governs this year is the Ox. The Ox and the Rooster have a Three Harmony relationship with each other. They are very compatible and come from the same habitat. Things should really smooth out this month, especially in comparison to our last month. In western astrology Mercury goes direct on September Oct. 9th, which ends the retrograde period.

The Ox plows through the field at a slow, even pace. They are all about hard work and pushing through whatever obstacles might be before them. The rooster crows and announces the break of dawn and, because of this, in folklore tradition it is also said that they protect humankind and drive away the dark forces of the night.
