HAPPY NEW YEAR OF THE RED MONKEY!
The new Chinese New Year of the Red Monkey is arriving with its fast and free-swinging energy on Monday, February 8, 2016. The story with this New Year (the first Lunar new moon of 2016) is characterized by the personality or “story” of the monkey. We are saying goodbye to the year of the Ram or Sheep, which was a year for foundation building, safety, uncovering and moving obstacles, slow change. This new monkey year will be a MUCH different story with a more non cautious, fly by the seat of your pants, maybe even filled with a few quick pranks to go along with what “monkey” stands for in the Chinese 12 animal zodiac system.
As a Feng Shui practitioner, I look at business, relationships, and environment with a bit of a twist. Energy makes up our world, decisions, life, community. With so many folks around the world honoring this Lunar New Year, it makes sense to put out one’s “feelers” and instincts and take a look at the big picture huge cultures are considering at the present moment.
Whatever your beliefs, why not be aware of the powerful new changes that are on the horizon. Creative action, entrepreneurial activities, innovative, quick acting, and playfulness, are a few positive influences that are honored and rewarded in this New Year. The less positive influences could be quick and surprising changes in the status quo, pranks that can be “not so much fun”, jealousy (territorial claims), and pure “monkey business”. Look into just “who and what” you are buying into this year…lots of “Emperor has no clothes” stuff could be around.
A fast paced, fun filled time, with clever solutions, sharp quick decisions, and a bit of risk taking are all what “monkey” likes. Be a clever tactician this year and victory can be quite prosperous for you. YES, this is a great time to push your comfort zone, and the ‘envelope” as we move through this year. Great things can come of innovative and imaginative thinking!
Wishing you all a wonderful new year…Xin Nian Kuai Le (Happy New Year) to you, and a 2nd opportunity to have a great new year! I like that!
New Year’s Prediction: You will find your perfect “story”, flow into what your passions call you to be, and be able to communicate to others your innovative ideas by telling your story with quick sketch illustration. Monkey says, “ Communicate fun new ideas, share your plans, and get all on board by showing your story with quick sketch”. (A very wise Monkey!)
