Today is LΓ¬chΕ«n (η«ζ₯) the first day of Spring on the Chinese Calendar..
I think it's exactly co-ordinated with the Moon rise this evening, but not 100% certain.
It does however bring a shift of Energy - perhaps one that you have been waiting for!?
The Darkness and Cold of Frozen Water in Winter start to give way to the "thrusting" energy of Spring. We think of little flowers pushing their way up from the soil, and trees thrusting their way towards the sky. We think of Green shoots and new growth!
It may take a few weeks for the energy of Spring to actually show itself, and sometimes Spring arrives, and gets shoved back by winter, but it will prevail in the end..
It brings about the Year of the Fire Horse..
Today is the official start of the Year, although the Chinese festival is later as it's co-ordinated with the Lunar calendar.
The Fire Horse is a very flighty and hectic beast - expect this to be a bit of a crazy year... (Think of the unpredictable nature of Fire - think of the unpredictable nature of a startled horse - add them both together - phew! This could get wild!
The question this year is "Are you in the saddle, or have you got one foot caught in the stirrup and are being dragged along the ground by the Fire Horse!?"
This is a Year to TAKE CHARGE of your life.
You know what I suggest for keeping a steady hand of the reins of the Fire Horse - I don't have to tell you, that I believe that Qigong is the tool to keep you firmly in the saddle and riding high..
I have a course in Bath on Sunday 22nd Feb - Do you want to join me!?
