Year of the Tiger

It is now the year of the tiger.

Beginning today (February 4th) the cosmic energy begins to manifest in a new way on earth. The spring of Gen Yin - 庚寅 - or metal tiger brings a new energy to bear on our lives. Because the interplay of cosmic and earthly energies is a complex dance, what this means for each of us is still to be seen but this is a good time to make new beginnings in general.

This years cosmic energy supports deepening your resolve and pushing through what seemed impossible obstacles. It is a year for calculated risks and bold moves but not a time to rest on past accomplishments. There continues to be new opportunities opening up and being ready to strike is necessary if these opportunities are to become more than passing chance.

The earth is, in general, coming to a new energetic expression and there will be much turmoil in the changes that are on the way. There is a strong likelihood of calamity both personally and in society at large... we have seen some of this already with the disaster in Haiti being a terrible example. It is important to know your ground well and strengthen your position before make any great decisions or changes, the foundation must be strong or the new structures will crumble.

Tiger is primal and, in order to make the most success of this coming year, all resources must be aligned. Spending time to connect fearlessly with the lower self is critical if the coming opportunities are to manifest fully and become permanent.

Be careful of stagnation in this coming year. The tiger energy is patient, powerful, primal and cannot be held back. Work hard and dig deep to loosen your fetters or the energies that this year brings will cause internal damage as it break through any obstacles remaining.
