Take heart that you are not alone. 2016 February is a clean out month. Everyone's true nature will be out and it's time to clean out and let go for the new to come.
In astrology, although mercury retrograde ends 25th January 1:50pm. Its shadow period will last until 14th February. We will continue to revisit our work, be clear of what we want to be, get organized and connect with key collaborators that support our goals. Jupiter is in retrograde from January until 9th May and its shadow will linger until 8th August. Jupiter signifies a time to hone our skills and connect with ourselves.
In Bazi, we enter the year of the Fire Monkey on 4th February at 17:48. This is a fire sitting on a metal monkey year where fire will burn and melt the metal. This creates conflicts so issues will surface but will melt away what does not serve us. If we have the strength and courage to go through this fire, we will have our break throughs. This is a time where we have to be like water, to go with the flow, to be gentle, flexible and creative to make a path for ourselves.
This Febuary, the theme is "Letting go". We are asked to:
- spring clean our lives,
- assess what matters to us (to decide whether to live 3-D three dimensional lives or multi-dimentional beings that we are blessed to be)
- let go of things that do not add to our growth or resonate with our new vibration
- renew trust in ourselves (to connect with ourselves, especially our higher self, connect with our divine lineage, believe in our calling) to exciting new possibilities and opportunities
- hone our skills (learn, equip, focus on developing our gifts and talents)
- renew our attitudes (reflect on ourselves, the good bad and ugly, give vs take, be humble, appreciate, render servce)
- re-define ourselves (our vision, purpose, what we stand for, a new us)
Here are some examples of how people start to show their true nature and we realize we have not seen that side of themselves.
- Someone who felt insecure tried poison the minds of others against you
- Someone bit your hand that fed him
- Friends who showed their true nature in social bantering and self-serving cliques
- Someone whom you looked up to failed
- Someone you teamed up with forgot his commitment to you
This is also a time when we see a mirror reflection or how we react that show up our own ugly sides which we need to clean up. I learn these precious lessons.
- External opinions are just opinions, they should not affect me
- I do not need encouragement, praise and attention to feel good about what I do
- Trust in the divine to guide me to success despite the obstacles and ill-intentions by others
It would be nice to pause and count our blessings. I am grateful to be blessed in many ways:
- A loving hubby, my family and my hubby's family
- Three lovely fur kids that remind me of a lion, bison and goat from my past lives
- Friends who understand and encourage me
- A new spiritual family that is on a similar journey
- Revealing of my divinity, royalty and lineage that is most powerful and sacred
- My continued growth to be my higher divine self
- Opportunity to share and render service to others, that they may be relieved of worldly issues and grow in their journey of self realization
So this is the time of testing, and we must continue our journeys. I resolve to...
- Continue my daily intention and affirmation and mediation
- Persevere to keep doing what I have been asked to do with unconditional love
- Know that everything will be accomplished in time
- Have patience, trust and belief in myself
Here is a good advice from Michelle K, "Financial wealth is created when we know in our hearts and our minds
that our in present circumstances our needs and dreams are already
fulfilled. When we are able to tap into our deepest resources and become
aware of our true power and limitlessness, all that is ours by divine
birthright can flow effortlessly to us."
