NEW MOON RISING
YOUR MONTHLY HOROSCOPE
QUAN YIN DIVINATION
As we enter this month, we move
into the deep and dark waters of
emotion and wisdom with the
yang water element and a marked
absence of fire and earth. In the
Bagua (Chinese compass), north
is the direction associated with
the season of winter, and the yang
water stem compounds this very
dark and cold energy. Think of
the deep and sometimes forceful
nature of the oceans and rivers
— calling for adaptability or the
strength of sheer force to guide you
around obstacles or confront issues
head on. Relentless perseverance
and tenacity are true to the form
of the unstoppable flowing water.
The Rat month in the Rooster
year can be a deeply creative or
a destructive and devastating
combination, depending on how
this combination is used. This is a
perfect time to reveal how water
affects you, as we rarely experience
the water element so purely as this
moon reveals it now.
Rabbit (Pisces):
Respect must be earned, but also
reciprocated. Your kind heart is an asset
but don’t let it get in the way of fair
business agreements. Stand up for yourself
and your community who stand with you.
Dragon (Aries):
Multiple objectives make your time
seem more valuable and your pocket
a little lighter than normal. Be careful
not to overspend on conveniences and
unnecessary expenses.
Snake (Taurus):
Personal growth and self-work can give
you the care you need now. There’s a time
for taking care of number one, and this
season is a good time to put yourself first.
Horse (Gemini):
A change in lifestyle, work, or friendship
leaves you feeling like a fish out of
water. Focus on the new inspiration and
opportunities for growth and change with
a resolute attitude.
Sheep (Cancer):
Let them down easy, but be firm. Conflict
can be productive if it’s used to inspire
healthy change. This one may take
some time to heal but your suffering is
completely optional.
Monkey (Leo):
Familiarity is a luxury you can do without.
The excitement and inspiration of new
people and ideas make the world your
oyster. You are full of optimism, curiosity
and hope for a bright tomorrow.
Rooster (Virgo):
It might be your fault or it might not, but
assigning blame for life’s circumstances
doesn’t change the simple truth that
you’re right where you need to be. Work
diligently to set the record straight.
Dog (Libra):
Work success or failure can leave you
feeling the hero or playing the fool. Keep
your calm under pressure and no one will
question your actions or intentions. Love
flows easily from your open heart now.
Pig (Scorpio):
Your popularity and reputation
get a boost this month as romantic
opportunities or obligations take centre
stage and much of your emotional energy.
Renew and replenish in style as the year
turns.
Rat (Sagittarius):
Feeling overwhelmed? It hasn’t been an
easy year for you, mouse, but feeling sorry
for yourself or playing the victim doesn’t
do you justice. Persevere, strengthen your
resolve, and success is still possible.
Ox (Capricorn):
Good times with family and friends or
a busy work life can tax your time and
energy. Limit your public exposure and
value your private time.
Tiger (Aquarius):
A test of your good character gives you an
opportunity to teach others the wisdom
of correct action. Your grace and poise are
you best asset — smile and courageously
put your best foot forward.
