Happy Chinese New Year! Today’s new moon brings in the Year of the Sheep (also referred to as the year of the goat or ram), a time when inspirational and empathetic energies are predicted to rule personal growth and relationships. Acting as a much needed calming power after the fast-paced Year of the Horse, the atmosphere under the Year of the Sheep will inspire us to think before we act and will bring a foreseeing clarity to decision making.
With harmony as the overall theme for 2015, the use of intuition and collaboration will always win-out over brute force in problem solving. If any areas in your life require healing, now is the time to initiate that process. The Sheep’s inspirational energy combined with it’s support in mental clarity will also make this year an ideal time to pursue new creative efforts. Try learning a new language or taking an art class; any endeavors that are rooted in meditation or community will be met with great success.
