NEW MOON RISING
YOUR MONTHLY HOROSCOPE
QUAN YIN DIVINATION
Month of the Wood Tiger
This month’s wood moon heralds an
early spring: warmer weather coast
to coast brings a fresh burst of new
growth. The element of wood, also
represented by wind, is associated
with change. This naturally rising
force can stir up the sky like booming
thunder with the qualities of ambition,
creativity, and optimism. The Tiger
loves community affairs as well as
public appearances and, with clear
communication, we can now pave
the way for better relationships with
others, adherence to a higher vision,
as well as fostering good old fashioned
team-work. Watch your temper —
wood, when out of balance, can cause
irritability, righteousness, and pride. The
element of wood also represents our
arms, legs and trunk — good time for
some bodywork, perhaps? Take to the
forest for strength and enjoy a peaceful
moment to honour our good friends,
the trees.
Rabbit (Pisces): A hectic time is only
just beginning. Clear boundaries and
organization skills keep you on task.
Keep it kind, calm, and tasteful, but do
let people know what you think in an
open, honest way.
Dragon (Aries): Shiny and new, this
month with start your year off with a
bang. Water under a bridge starts to rise
up over your shiny new shoes. Better to
meet it now while there’s still time to
save what you can.
Snake (Taurus): Complaining will turn
people off and may not be appreciated
now, so keep your head clear, your eyes
and ears open, and your mouth closed.
Meditation and contemplation teach
the wisdom of non-action.
Horse (Gemini): Give yourself the time
you would generously offer others and
this month could be a good one for
health, wealth and relationships. Your
dance card is open so you can now
choose who you take to the floor –
enjoy moving to the music!
Sheep (Cancer): Everyone needs a little
guidance once and a while, and when
you are at a crossroads, it’s okay to ask
others for support and advice. They
might know something you don’t. Seek
mentors that share your values and who
empathize with your situation.
Monkey (Leo): Pressures of the
moment rise as you take up new
opportunities to generate more wealth,
reputation, and increased status. Keep
track of small details and fine print –
keep up and you will be kept up.
Rooster (Virgo): Quiet solitude might
be what you need, but it could be
challenging to find as the pace of this
month will pull you in many directions.
Don’t give up but have the discipline
to take space from partners and friends
when duty calls.
Dog (Libra): Take this month to
consider the ways in which you are
contributing to the solution – or the
problem. What is it in yourself that
needs to change in order to bring about
the progress that you’re seeking? Look
inward now.
Pig (Scorpio): This month’s moon
brings death and rebirth for you,
humble boar. Life is not always fair,
but if you look around you, you might
find that nature has a way of bringing
some kind of balance in all situations.
Compromise and eat your pride!
Rat (Sagittarius): Busy times may
exhaust your energy – get a boost by
going to the gym, a yoga or tai chi
class, get some exercise and build your
strength. Optimism, determination, and
focus inspire new ideas and optimism
about your future.
Ox (Capricorn): Come out of
hibernation a little early this year,
Ox. Stand strong and let the winds of
change blow of any stagnant, stuck, or
negative energy off you. Secret allies
surround you, so don’t forget you are
never alone.
Tiger (Aquarius): The key to great
friendship comes from the quality of
your own friendliness toward others.
Make the first move and set an example
to others of your commitment to
the highest good. Your good deed or
sacrifice today brings great success
tomorrow.
