YEAR OF THE SHEEP:
Have this be the year to get the coaching to see more clearly your worth and value, trust yourself more deeply, treat yourself as you would want to be treated by others, and live your life with the kind of authenticity that will manifest in having more of what you want show up.
According to Chinese Astrology, 2015 is the year of the Yin Wood Sheep which brings about a soft, gentle and feminine energy.
2014, the year of the Yang Wood Horse saw
a lot of dominant action, energy and transformations taking place but
as the galloping horse begins to fade, the energy of the Yin Wood Sheep
(or Goat) will take its place.
Beginning today, February 19th, 2015- the start of the Chinese new year, the energy
is going to shift to a more inward state. This is because the
energy is moving from Yang (outward/masculine) into Yin
(inward/feminine).
Yin
energy is very creative, intuitive and gentle. Instead of everything
moving fast and abruptly like yang energy, yin energy gives us time to
focus, get centered and take stock over what we have created so far.
The
element of Wood returns this year too and brings the energy of
groundedness and understanding oneself on a deeper level. In fact, this
wood energy complements the demeanour of the Sheep perfectly.
The
Sheep symbolizes the energy of generosity, patience and peacefulness.
The goal of the sheep is to create harmony and beauty within the home
and family and is often considered to be the most feminine of all the
Chinese zodiac animals.
Just
like the horse, the sheep is extremely intuitive, the only difference
is the sheep is a lot more emotional, and has more awareness to heal,
nurture and tend to issues that are causing suffering.
This
year will be about knowing yourself clearly and deeply, forgiving
yourself, clearing past wounds and accepting who you are.
We
are being called upon to nurture ourselves, our friends and family and
to go after our desires with patience, love and kindness.
2015
will also ask us to shed our ego and will not favor greed, overspending
or unconscious business practices. Instead, the sheep calls us to
practice modesty, charity and to delight in the smaller, more delicate
aspects of life.
The
sheep will also guide us to tune into our intuition and emotional
well-being while still being receptive to the emotions of others. She
asks that we use our mind and heart to make decisions, rather than force
and aggression.
In
Chinese culture, it is believed that those born under the year of the
sheep are destined to be followers, not leaders however, in terms of
dealing with the energy for 2015, we are being asked to manage what we
have already
created in 2014 and ‘follow’ our instincts.
created in 2014 and ‘follow’ our instincts.
The
Yin Wood Sheep reminds us that home is where the heart is, and that
loving yourself, feeling safe and surrounding yourself with a loving
group of friends and family is paramount to your life’s work. It is the sheep's
desire that we go within, pay attention to the small things and to
nurture others and ourselves.
Be True!
Love,
