But if they are not; that is proof that they are not yet ready.
Speak no Magick to those who know less than you, unless you are prepared to tell all of us that you are a teacher of the Craft.

You have displayed a desire to learn.
You have displayed a talent at Magick.

Henize 70: A Superbubble in the LMC
Image Credit & Copyright: Josep M. Drudis
Explanation: Massive stars profoundly affect their galactic environments. Churning and mixing interstellar clouds of gas and dust, stars — most notably those upwards of tens of times the mass of our Sun — leave their mark on the compositions and locations of future generations of stars. Dramatic evidence of this is illustrated in our neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), by thefeatured nebula, Henize 70 (also known as N70 and DEM301). Henize 70 is actually a luminous superbubble of interstellar gas about 300 light-years in diameter, blown by winds from hot, massive stars and supernova explosions, with its interior filled with tenuous hot and expanding gas. Because superbubbles can expand through an entire galaxy, they offer humanity a chance to explore the connection between the lifecycles of stars and the evolution of galaxies.
Your Daily Planet Tracker for Feb. 4: Venus in Capricorn
Venus in Capricorn: Loyal, Determined, Trustworthy
February 3 – March 1, 2019
This is certainly an interesting cosmic combination! On one hand, there is Venus which is the planet of love, acceptance, pleasure, and the arts. On the other hand, you have earthy and Saturn-ruled Capricorn, whose focus is on commitment and work. This means that Venus in Capricorn is a time of approaching our relationships in a more mature way, and when our romances become bound by rules.
When Venus is in Capricorn
We take our relationships a lot more seriously when loving Venus moves into committed Capricorn. This transit challenges us to put in the effort needed to get the love and affection we truly desire. For those who are coupled, this is their chance to work through problems or have deep conversations about what they envision for the future. And what about those looking for love? This is their opportunity to ditch flighty flirtations in favor of long-lasting love. With Venus in Capricorn, we want our romantic affairs to go the distance.
In addition to its impact on love and relationships, Venus in Capricorn has the same serious effect on all things relating to beauty. This transit may urge us to trade in flashy pieces of clothing and edgy hairdos for a more subdued style. It’s also a great time to get started on any artistic endeavors we’ve been considering. Not only do we have an enhanced ability for building and creating things, but Capricorn also gives Venus the dedication needed to start projects and see them all the way through to the finish line.
Venus in Capricorn has a strong business aspect to it, and it could bring up themes of re-evaluating the worth we bring to our chosen professions. We might ask ourselves if we’re getting the validation we need from our employer, or whether or not we are climbing up the ladder of success the way we had hoped. There is incredible potential for reconnecting with our own inner authority and owning up to whatever it is we need to do to take our career to the next level.
If you were born with Venus in Capricorn
Anyone who has ever been in a committed relationship understands a thing or two about the responsibility that comes with being in love. Sure, romance is great, but if you’re not willing to take your partnership seriously once you get past the puppy love stage, then you won’t have anything substantial. Because your Venus is in Capricorn, you know this intuitively, almost painfully at times. Love is serious business to you, and you know that any love worth having requires a little elbow grease and time.
As someone with a Capricorn Venus, you don’t give your heart away easily. In fact, you may have been accused a time or two of being unfeeling or unwilling to give your love to another person. It’s not that you don’t care, it’s simply that you don’t believe in settling for less than you deserve. Yes, it may take you a while to open yourself up to someone, but once you let down your defenses, you will do whatever it takes to make sure your relationship stands the test of time!
All of this talk about hard work and commitment doesn’t sound very loving, but that’s just because you show it in a much different way than other Venus signs do. You prefer to show your affection and emotions through what you do rather than what you say. So, while you may not be one to shout your love from the rooftops, you will profess your love for your partners through steadfast devotion and consistently putting effort into making your relationship work. And just as you will be there for someone through thick and thin, you expect the same in return from anyone you decide to settle down with.

Alder-bark has been used by many cultures to treat various health problems and disorders, everything from insect bites to tuberculosis. Alder is a very water resistant hardwood and is often used in foundations where water is present. The key points to remember with alder are confidence, shielding, guidance, and standing up to ones enemies.

The Celts often believed the hawthorn to be a portal to the Otherworld. The hawthorn is a hardy plant commonly used for hedges and great firewood. It can even be an invasive species at times. The key points to remember with the letter Huathe are obstacles, walls, and obstructions. Its ability to form a natural wall gives the diviner an idea in what this symbol can mean to them and their lives.
Fortune – To overcome obstacles and walls you must make a personal sacrifice, to gain we must lose something of ourselves!
Ura-Heather
The beauty of heather flowers is one reason it is associated with the Irish Goddess of love, fertility, and new growth. Be happy when you draw this letter because it denotes love, companionship, and passion. Whether it will be a new love or an old love rekindled, Ura is a powerful symbol and one that may bring great luck in your love life.

Your Daily Tarot Cards for February 4
Your Daily Tarot Card for Today
The Hermit
Keywords: awakening, enlightening, shedding light, the “key” to a situation, crisis, isolation!
Astrological Correspondence: Virgo
The Hermit card symbolizes meditation, reflection, and solitude. As one of the cards resembling old age it also represents bearing the light of wisdom, looking into the unconscious, observing dreams. There is an emphasis on peace and patience, by which maturity is reached, and a striving to connect to the higher spiritual self. The Hermit also depicts the spiritual leader, the taskmaster who leads with purpose, conscience, and wisdom. A mature person, the Hermit symbolizes deliberation about which path to follow, reassessment of achievements and goals, and taking the time to reflect and plan. In a negative environment this card can resemble excessive isolation, lack of communication, intolerance, crisis and doubt.
Daily Love Tarot Card for Today
The Sun
The Sun is an invitation to a supportive relationship in which you can be yourself around your significant other. You feel relaxed and loved, with a sense of peace of heart. You’ve struck gold and entered into a new realm. Keep looking if this is not how you feel because it is how things should be. You can’t expect improvement in a long-term union if you do not take effective steps to create it.
Your Erotic Tarot for Today
The Judgment
The Judgment card represents a sexual awakening, and now that you aren’t afraid to move in a new direction, a whole new world awaits you. What sex positions do you want to try, and which fantasies have you been dying to act out? Being honest with yourself and potential partner(s) about the details of what you desire will help you get what you want faster, and the end result will be much more satisfying. And above all, enjoy your sexual liberation!

Get A Jump On Tomorrow…..
Your Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 5
Moon Alert
Avoid shopping and important decisions from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM EST today (3:30 PM to 6:30 PM PST). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces. Today is the first day of the Chinese Year of the Pig.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You might meet someone unusual and different today – someone exciting. Quite likely, this will happen later in the day. This person might be in your life only briefly but they will be memorable!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Stay on your toes today, especially this afternoon because you might be caught off guard by someone in a position of power – a boss, parent, VIP or the police. (Whaaat?) Whatever happens will come in from left field, so steady as she goes.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Double check travel reservations, bookings and arrangements because something might slide off the rails, especially this afternoon or later in the day. Don’t be waiting at the train station when your ship comes in. Publishing, the media, medicine and the law might also bring surprises.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Double check details related to shared property, inheritances, insurance issues, banking and debt. (Is the posse after you?) Be on top of things because something unexpected could impact these areas or your partner’s wealth. Forewarned is forearmed. (But it’s minor stuff.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be ready for something unexpected when dealing with close friends and partners this afternoon. It could be anything. You might meet someone who is different and unusual – someone you least expected to encounter. It’s not a boring day.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You will be impulsive and independent at work today. However, be careful because you will also encounter the unexpected, and things could go sideways in a New York minute, especially because of the Moon Alert. (See above.) Stay off your heels.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
There’s a lot of energy in the air today and you feel ready to party! This afternoon will be a bit loosey-goosey during the Moon Alert. Be careful about wild, zany impulses. Sometimes they’re fun but sometimes they’re a problem. Parents should keep an eye on their kids this afternoon.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Certain issues that are unexpected or unusual might occur at home, especially this afternoon. Be aware of this. It will be wise to stock the fridge or have some beer or coffee on hand because a friend might knock on your front door. Just saying…..
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You’re full of clever, original, inventive ideas today. In part, this is why your routine will totally break down this afternoon. Minimize the amount you have to do so that you can cope with the unexpected. It’s always nice to have a little wiggle room to play with.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Keep an eye on your money and finances, especially this afternoon. Be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert if you’re thinking of shopping for anything other than food and gas. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. During the Moon Alert, postpone impulsive, important financial decisions – definitely.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You feel energized and rebellious today! You are ambitious, independent and ready to change directions at a moment’s notice. New people, especially unusual new friends, might come your way. (Naturally, this will intrigue you).
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a restless day but it’s also an exciting day. Not overtly but subtly. You can feel it bubbling up within you, especially this afternoon. Expect your plans to change. Count on nothing and hope for the best. This is the kind of day where everything is a bit up for grabs but no worries because things are not earthshaking.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Henry Golding (1987) shares your birthday today. You are energetic and interested in life, especially science and technology. You are passionate about helping others. This year you begin a new cycle of exciting changes and beginnings, which is why it’s time to clarify your goals. Remember: What you begin now will unfold in the future. Get ready to take the initiative. Fortunately, your physical strength will increase this year!
About Our Current Zodiac Sign, Pisces
Pisces- ruled by their feelings
Like the fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisceans are torn between logic and emotion
Pisces folk are ruled by their feelings. This means that they go through life following their emotions, instinctively steering their way rather than working things out logically and rationally. Intuition is one of their strongest assets, and they possess an inherent talent for tapping into other people’s feelings and automatically sensing their states of mind and soul.
This makes them sensitive and gentle creatures, as well as wonderfully sympathetic companions. Essentially dreamy and romantic, members of this Sign tend to construct a fairytale world into which they can escape when their own lives get too tough to handle.
At work and play – a wide range of professions suit the gifted and intuitive talents of this group. For a start, the Piscean sensitivity and empathy call many of these natives into counselling, clinical psychology, and alternative therapies. Some find their forte working for charitable organizations, or for other caring institutions.
Yet others turn to the world of music, literature and the arts, where they can express their considerable artistic and imaginative abilities, and find fulfillment through creative endeavor.
In love and relationships – perhaps the most tender-hearted Sign of the Zodiac, belonging to this group makes Piscean people sensitive and vulnerable.
But, because they are so easy-going, and all too often adoring of their partners, Pisceans can be easily put upon. Loneliness is their biggest fear, and they tolerate a lot so as not to be alone. In the right relationship however, their romantic, understanding, and compassionate natures will hold no bounds.
In health, Pisces rules the feet, and many Pisceans suffer miserably with foot problems throughout their lives.
Consequently, good-fitting shoes, even if expensive, are essential for their well being. Pisceans are also known for fretfulness and worry, which can take their toll on the stomach and digestive system, leading to ulcers.
They succumb to disease more quickly than most if they follow a poor diet. Psychologically, members of this Sign can all too easily become depressed and some may resort to alcohol or drugs in an attempt to lift their spirits.
Where wealth is concerned, they are trusting souls and in money matters they really need to be sure of those in whom they place their trust, for many Pisceans have been conned out of their life savings by unscrupulous ‘friends’ or ‘advisers’. However, members of this Sign are indeed quite capable of generating wealth, usually through their prodiguous creative talents – and they are best advised to put their money away safely in a bank.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, February 4
Moon Alert
We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The New Moon is in Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You go after what you want. You have the first word and the last. But you value your friends and your relationships with groups and organizations. Today’s New Moon is the best day all year to think about the value of these relationships.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today the New Moon takes place at the top of your chart. (Only time all year.) That makes is the perfect day to give some serious thought to your life direction in general. Where do you want to be in two years? It helps to have a broad game plan when you’re making decisions.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today’s New Moon is the perfect day to make future plans about travel or training and education. What can you do to enrich your life so that you feel you are living more fully? Carpe diem is your motto! (This means sushi to go.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You are prudent about your money. Today’s New Moon is one of the best days of the year to analyse your relationship to shared property and wealth (including debt) that involves you and others. Start now to get out of debt.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today the only New Moon opposite your sign all year is taking place, which means this is th time to think how to improve your closest relationships. There’s always room for improvement. Since you’re part of the relationship – any improvement will benefit you!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
What can you do to improve your health? This is a two-pronged approach: You can reduce whatever is harmful; and start do whatever is beneficial. Do you have ideas about how to improve your job?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The New Moon today is in your fellow Air sign, which is supportive to setting goals and intentions. What can you do to have greater enjoyment in life by socializing with others and taking vacations? You love to schmooze, and you love a good table at a nice restaurant. “Garcon?”
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your wealth will increase this year, which is encouraging. However, today’s New Moon is the time to think about how you can improve your home and family scene. This is important because it’s the bedrock of everything. When things are good at home, life flows more easily.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today’s New Moon is the time to observe your immediate surroundings — your daily habits and patterns. Is there a better way to start your day? Are you happy with your routine or do you want a better approach or a different style? Think about it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today’s New Moon is the perfect time to think about what you value. In other words, what really matters to you? In a more mundane sense, you can also take stock of your assets. What do you earn? What do you own? What is your financial worth? When it comes to money – information is power.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the only New Moon all year in your sign is taking place. Use this to your advantage by taking a realistic look in the mirror. What can you do to create a better image in your world? After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You are sensitive, compassionate person. Today’s New Moon is your opportunity to explore more of your inner world. This is where your true worth is – not your car, not your bank account and not your wardrobe (well, maybe those cowboy boots).
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor/comedian Rob Corddry (1971) shares your birthday today. You are an excellent problem solver. You are creative, original and courageous. Many of you are trailblazers. This year you are moving away from heavy burdens to something new and lighter! It is a time of completions and taking inventory because you’re wrapping up a nine-year cycle. This is why you will say goodbye to some aspects of your life.
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of February 4
Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of February 4
Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer
From The Astrology Room
A new moon in Aquarius this week heralds the start of new enterprise and initiative in all love matters. If you think about it, every relationship must evolve, or at least move forward in some way for it to survive those soulless feelings of boredom, disparity or frustration.
Whether it’s communication that needs a boost, or future plans that need organising, this is the perfect moment to sort out what you can do to reform your love life.
ARIES
It’s a hit and miss, on and off kind of week. But by the end of it, you remember that romantic dreams and mature relationships aren’t mutually exclusive. Time to try out passion with the one you love. And if single? You learn that being passionate about yourself means someone new will love you too.
TAURUS
This week, observe how you react to your partner or admirers in both positive and negative ways. What are your love goals? What price giving up on your personal quest for someone else’s? This week is a great time for rekindling the flames of romance. But careful, don’t get too carried away by your fun-loving nature.
GEMINI
Why do you feel so passionate ? Or, maybe you’re horrified by your partner’s future plans when you thought that wanted to live the dream? So, how to deal with this? Quite honestly, there’s nothing more you can do than indulge in you. Pamper yourself, get sensual and go with the flow.
CANCER
There’s a sense of a bright, brilliant future ahead. So make it a week for romantic adventure if single, and fulfilling all those travel plans if attached. Worries about commitment or future instability are temporarily shelved, and you can sit back and enjoy the fun-side of life. Go and enjoy.
LEO
Time to accept that you must honestly express your own needs, and also what you want for the future. With the sun’s positive influence, now’s the time to make magic. So wave your romantic wand, and hey presto, start to live out those love visions, instead of just thinking about them.
VIRGO
If you’re not in a position of equality with someone, then you’ll do you’re utmost to get there. You radiate well-being, and intuitively know how to deal with anything from supporting your partner, to the right moment to create romance in your world. Indulge a little in your own power-trip this week, it’s you’re right.
LIBRA
It’s easy to get stuck in some kind of time warp about love and feelings. But to experience being loved, you must give out, not hold back. You must engage not defend, begin not end, take each cycle of giving and receiving as itself. And if attached, this week, the planets will take you to new frontiers and a deeper commitment.
SCORPIO
Restless thoughts occur. And if you’ve promised the earth to someone special recently, perhaps it would be wise to think whether you can live up to those vows? I’m not saying you’re incapable of commitment, but taking the open road to freedom may be more tempting than domestic routine right now.
SAGITTARIUS
This week navigate your life with vision and self-awareness, and whether you’ve decided to become an enterprising dragon or simply remain a loyal partner who honours their career, the time has come to love the one you’re with, yes, but love yourself too.
CAPRICORN
Bravely remind your partner that you have a voice, an opinion and personal goals. And if they say, ‘ I think you ‘ought’ to do this or that, then perhaps it would be worth reminding them that shoulds and oughts aren’t any longer in your vocabulary. By the end of the week, you discover emotional equilibrium.
AQUARIUS
You’ve been going about your daily business of sharing and caring. If single, you’ve been happy being independent, favouring no one friend more than the other. But you have forgotten one person in all this, and that’s you. Remembering yourself is the best souvenir you could take home right now.
PISCES
With the sun generating a desire in you to get on with life, it’s hardly surprising you’re going to be in your element. But how to live the dream when you’re surrounded by life’s daily worries? ‘Oh, just take each day as it comes,’ says a friend. But not you, you want romantic action, so go out and get it now.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, February 4
COSMIC CALENDAR
As indicated in yesterday’s calendar entry, the monthly solar-lunar rendezvous — the new moon — makes its presence known at 1:05 p.m. and energizing 16 degrees of Aquarius. Before this time, it is wise to complete odds and ends so that you can launch bold plans once the vibrant new moon sends out its forward-moving momentum. Group projects, team sports, community events, and global causes close to your philosophy of life are highlighted — especially in league with the moon forming a supportive, 60-degree link with King of the Gods Jupiter (6:36 p.m.) and a conjunction with the winged messenger planet Mercury (11:12 p.m.). Take advantage of the lack of challenging sky cycles to reinforce self-confidence and faith in fulfilling your higher destiny.
[Note to readers: All times are calculated as Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Weekly Karmic Forecast: February 3 – 9, 2019
Weekly Forecast: February 3 – 9, 2019
The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.
*NOTE* There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.
Weekly Forecast: February 3 – 9, 2019
2/7 ~ Mercury (your voice) ~sextile~ Jupiter (expansion):
Where the above (Sun sextile Jupiter) is more about YOU, this activation is more about your consciousness, ideas, thoughts & concepts (Mercury), which Jupiter expands in some way, helping you to ‘think bigger’, edit your personal Story and step up your game in some way. This is also a great energy to work with if you are in school, learning something new, expanding your knowledge base or gather new tools & information to support your goals. Your dreams are tapping you on the shoulder, demanding some attention. Mundane issues are not your concern right now, you want to figure out how to create the life you’ve been imagining. This energy also provokes within you the awareness & understanding that being generous naturally attracts generosity to you. The big picture and overall patterns which have led you to this point are being brought into the light. Feeling clear, sharp, alert and optimistic, you begin to realize that anything you can imagine (or remember), you can achieve.
2/7 ~ Sun (core Self) ~sextile~ Jupiter (optimism):
This energy is sometimes considered “lucky” but the success you achieve under this influence, is more likely due to a positive outlook and clear vision of who you are and what you want. Your life is expanding, your self-understanding is deepening and it will be easier to be around other people of higher consciousness, improving things and creating opportunities that benefit a larger number of people. There is a healthy dose of optimism around some grand plan, and things are moving, but make sure to do the foundation work to support this larger vision as it manifests in reality. If you are a teacher/guide/leader of any sort, this energy supports your group efforts, so giving workshops, seminars or new classes is totally supported and will benefit you, while serving others.
2/7 ~ Mercury (expression) ~sextile~ Mars (passion):
This is a healthy selfish energy (aka self-preservation). Do not hold back this week. If you have a big dream or serious goal you have been working toward, then this is the time that may attract the assistance you need from the Universe. This is definitely a “work” energy, however, it brings with it the caveat that it is best if you work alone on something important to you. No one else is (or ever will be) as dedicated to your goal as YOU will be, nor should you expect them to be. You are now connected to the extra energy it takes to push your goals to the next level, bringing you a sense of accomplishment while outlining the next tasks to be done. Opportunities present themselves all the time, all you have to do is be ready!! If you are given the opportunity to make a presentation, go for it! Your clarity, energy & enthusiasm will be unmatched and that’s what people respond to. Don’t choose this time to be “shy” or doubt that you’re ready – you are definitely ready … otherwise you wouldn’t be here!! One of my favorite sayings is: “At the moment of commitment, the Universe conspires to assist you!” It’s time to decide if you are committed and how truly committed you are, to your own success.
2/9 ~ Mercury (acumen) ~sextile~ Uranus (the Awakener):
This energy says, it’s time to go with the flow – “new and different” being the flow. It wants to shake it up a bit – in a good way. However, if you feel like new and different is more like chaos and disruption, then you need to reflect and see if you aren’t being too rigid. Unwillingness to go with the (new) flow will make this energy harder to handle. This is also a good time to try to resolve any old issues or challenges – they are not going away without resolution and conscious release. Perhaps you’ve been trying the same thing over and over and it’s time to try something NEW – now is the time new ideas can/will come to you. Pay attention! Try to be open and receptive to unusual things, events or ideas and allow room for spontaneity. You may think you are doing one thing and look up and being doing something completely different – be open to exploring the new path!

Prepare for Chinese New Year – Thriving in Year of Earth Pig or Boar
Prepare for Chinese New Year – Thriving in Year of Earth Pig or Boar
As you prepare for the Earth pig or boar year and the next steps on your path, I suggest being mindful of breakthroughs available in these moments of revolutionary change. The current energies indeed support breakthroughs and shifts in outmoded viewpoints. Continue reading to understand how you can benefit most from this juncture.
About Breakthroughs
Since we are continually evolving, breakthroughs are a typical part of our process. Sometimes they are more obvious, other times more subtle. When we stay conscious and awake to what’s unfolding in our lives, we learn the art of discerning our own breakthroughs. Examples: (1) waking up with the answer to a long-standing dilemma (2) engaging in a heart-to-heart conversation with a loved one after weeks of distance or combativeness (3) realizing when approaching self-care that all of a sudden it seems simple to do what’s needed for optimal well-being.
Have you ever noticed feeling uplifted when you became aware that a challenging issue now has a solution? Sometimes the breakthrough is less obvious than this – like when you feel softer towards a person you have had words with, or when you reach an undetermined milestone needed to anchor a new habit and you feel less resistance to doing things the new way. Awareness is key to making the most of breakthroughs. When you realize you are having one, regardless of how small, this can encourage you to take the next appropriate steps. Being mindful of how you are shifting into a more positive direction can boost your frequency too. These responses can help you keep the momentum going.
Thriving in Earth Pig or Boar Year
Chinese New Years each have their own energy. The Earth pig or boar year officially starting February 5 has a focus on abundance and enjoying life. There is definitely a lighter tone in pig years. Playfulness and humor are often associated with such a year. For individuals, the impact depends on their own energy and approach to life along with level and application of spiritual mastery.
In general, to thrive in the pig year requires a certain skill set and mindset.
First, given the emotional roller coaster being experienced in 2019 – with lots of anger surfacing – it is vital to take the high road of spirit and stay in one’s heart. Not always easy to be sure, but important. Words will take on more importance this year – the words used, the tone, the timing, and the delivery. Mindfulness with words, therefore, is paramount. When angry or just upset, calm down before you send that text or see someone. Consider the long-term consequences of your words and actions. Factor in energy cycles, too, because some of those can get you off center. More on working with the year’s energy cycles in my new “Predictions 2019” eBook.
Second, use the abundance focus of this year to get your “house of money” in order. That means becoming more mindful and conscious about finances, income, spending and the priorities. Don’t forget to factor in vital self-care like good nutrition, exercise, meditation, body work and inner work – these things will nourish you, keep you going and help you to maintain a positive flow. Get up close and personal with your money to make it work for you. If you realize you have “money issues,” get help addressing them at a DNA level. Much of the dysfunction in our society regarding money has roots in the DNA. The dysfunction is typically on the following levels: early life conditioning, ancestral patterns, soul level themes from past lives, and the mass consciousness of humanity. Each time you heal a money pattern, because it will also be in the mass consciousness, you help heal humanity at large and so that society can change in big ways.
Third, invite a sense of play and fun into everyday situations – personal and work. This will help you enjoy even mundane things, raise your frequency higher, and bring in more abundance. As you become more abundant, connect with a knowing of how to grow your bank account or business and ways you can share your abundance with others. Sharing can be financial or through other means – like sharing of your time, expertise, and deep listening. Growing your business can involve updating how you do things so your approach fits with new ways people connect and do business. This updating can be crucial to success this year and beyond.
Remember daily the bigger picture of why you are alive and how you can be an integral part of humanity’s awakening. Allow that higher awareness to sit in the forefront of your mind as you go about your day. Trust that in the simple act of doing this, you are helping to transform the world and contributing to your own enlightenment.
