so I'm still not done with the monkey business....
i just went through the photos i took during our new years eve party, and I realized that one of the decorations in the main room was a life sized monkey!!!! well, actually its an ape. close enough.
and here are some YOTM-related comments from an expert on chinese astrology, it's quite positive stuff. do read it!
On January 21st 2004, we officially wave goodbye to the Year of the Water Sheep and launch into the Year of the Wood Monkey.
You may have noticed that the Water Sheep quietly moseyed in last year and performed a Deep Cleanse on your entire life... The combination of the Sheep's extremely Yin (introspective) energy and the Water element's spiritual focus shed an unerring light on what needed to be cleansed, balanced, or reinvented in our lives. For many of us, it's been a very healing and maturing year, with wave after wave of opportunity to clearly see, deeply contemplate, and mindfully change what's no longer "holding water (spirit)" in our lives.
Your innerwork, and the attendant changes you've made in your life, have cleared the way for the incoming energy of the Wood Monkey. Get ready to lift your head high and spring forward into new activities, relationships, and opportunities. The clever Monkey is about to swing in with the Wood element's intuitive focus, giving us the gift offoresight and the desire to expand into new territory. Considered a particularly lucky year, we are all encouraged to express our brilliance and stretch OUT as pioneers, innovators, and cocreators in the world. The Monkey is also quite "chummy" and fun-loving, inspiring all kinds of personal and professional relationships to flourish. This is the year to step from the depths of inner purification into the heights of outer possibility.
How wonderful!
Before the Sheep finally meanders away on January 21st, consider whether you've completed the cleansing necessary, both within yourself and in your environment, to step fully into a whole new world ofopportunity. Your connection with spirit and your ability to move forward with grace and ease will be your greatest assets as the New Year lifts you up and carries you swiftly forward. Prepare the way and enjoy every moment!
