Year of the Horse transitions To Year of the Goat

TAIL OF THE HORSE

January 20th, 2015 – NEW YEAR – February 19^th, 2015

We are now entering the last lunar cycle of the year of the Horse. As we prepare for the New Year, it’s time to tidy up and concentrate on completing any unfinished business.

Everyone should be cautious: this is considered the tail of the Horse, meaning it’s the last time the Horse can give you a good kick in the rear end before galloping off. Remember that one good deed can divert a hundred disasters. Keep wearing your year of the Horse charms and Flying Star adjustments until February 4^th 2015, which begins the transition when the Horse leaves the throne to make way for the Year of the Wood Goat.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HORSE – There will be a happy conclusion to your trials and tribulations, bringing out emotions that make you gleeful! Detach from drama. Don’t get pulled into various plots twists or compelling characters; instead, view life as a movie. Be somewhat detached so that things will be resolved without expending too much energy. Have compassion for others, but don’t let them bring you down. Become a teacher. Show your leadership qualities to others by staying detached.

Keep in mind, when your personal agenda is released and the middle ground is found, that’s where you’ll find a well-balanced happiness and peace of mind.

GOAT – You may find yourself reflecting on a change in direction in life. You’ve attracted certain people or situations because they mirror your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. And, in the same way, people and situations you once found desirable are now moving out of your life because you have shifted your spiritual path. If you want to change what or whom you attract, hold more positive loving and joyful thoughts. The situation is not a reward or punishment; you have attracted it, which means that you can also repel or magnify it as you choose. Honor your word and hold onto it tightly, for an oath to the gods is not to be taken lightly. This is a reminder that a promise to the divine powers is no joking matter; you must fill your obligations. Be cautious of overacting and competing with others – don’t waste your energy in this way or you will become exhausted; learn to trust. An older woman may play a significant role in your life at this time whether it be a mother, older relative or the elder of two sisters. Your creative ideas are taking flight, assisting you in bringing your creations into the world. What needs healing??

MONKEY – Stay on your toes, play a role, do your job and mind your own business. Stop worrying about money. Worrying only attracts more money problems. Instead, focus on abundance and a new flow of prosperity. This in turn will support you and your loved ones. Think regeneration: this energy will renew and support your entire being. Bringing your mind into the right mindset, will allow ideas to flow effortlessly and the appropriate result in all situations will manifest. There is indication that you may have overlooked the practicality in a problem; even though the ideas are brilliant (Monkeys can be so smart and clever!) there is a need for greater thoroughness and attention to detail. This month, sound plays an important role in your Feng Shui, be sure you are listening to pleasant music or have ambient sounds that nurture and relax you or if need to be energized play positive, upbeat music. Have a swinging good time!

ROOSTER – An authoritative figure or masculine energy person will play a fundamental role in the month ahead whether it be a father, senior male relative, colleague or the elder of two boys. Through persistent action and positive thinking, your dreams are manifesting into form. You’re headed up the stairs, so keep going! Persistence pays off, so stick with it; you have the ability to overcome difficult material obstacles. You are spiritually developing more compassion for others. Take a look at your current habits and immediately change any behaviors that are self-destructive. Overworking creates struggle and can lead to exhaustion. Address this, and then your outlook is very promising and there will be a wealth of new offerings. Sound will play a key role in your Feng Shui this month, be sure you have wonderful ambient music around you that matches your soundtrack to life. Shake your tail feathers!

DOG – It’s important to be in the present moment. Now is the time to embrace your beauty and your feelings and honor your body’s wisdom. Know that you are one with Mother Nature. Find your earthly intuitive center, and be at peace in your element. Your likes and dislikes have changed, and you have outgrown a situation that once appealed to you. Some of the stressful situations were blessings in disguise; they were simply pushing you towards greater change. Stay put until you’re ready to move forward, and then let the universe support you; let go and enjoy the ride. This could be an excellent time to take a retreat or move to the mountains. Be assertive and say no to anything that diverts you from your path. This is a time of self-reflection and change of direction. You’re able to discern the real qualities of people around you and appreciate their individual worth. It is important that you remain open and allow others to be drawn close to you; wonderful progress is at hand.

PIG – Don’t be fooled by a false promise – little will come from it. You’re fulfilling your dreams whether this takes the form of traditional artistic endeavors, your relationships or your home life. Don’t let mundane responsibilities bury your aspirations. Set aside time each week for your own personal creativity to shine. You are faced with a dilemma or crossroads. A road must be chosen, or it will be impossible to travel any further. Some sacrifice will be made. Your dilemma is whether the sacrifice will be worth it. It is important to stay balanced and see both sides of the coin. Things will be in sync and working together, eventually. These are powerful times where a release and shift in your life is necessary. Remember to open your heart to love. Love is the answer to every question. The more you allow yourself to love, the greater depth and meaning your life holds. Forgive those who have hurt you and remember to love yourself. That will make the Piggy heart shine!
