Lunar New Year: Yin Metal Ox
The ox
dependable, grounded, strong & sure footed
As we celebrate the lunar calendar and the inauguration of spring we bid farewell to the Rat and beckon in the Ox.
May your steady grounded gentle nature nurture the integrity and character needed at this time. Inward stoic wisdom with all your beauty and strength teaches us to plow onward slowly. Methodical steady steps to complete sustainable work. Goals of purpose being set as the oxen can carry a laborious load.
Looking Back
Last year Rat brought forth lessons from which we learned how to get down and dirty in the dark crevices and cracks, gain resources, and pay swift attention to our health. We were quick to create/procreate and adapt to new (and old) circumstances. Our resiliency was found.
Through all the grief the Yang Metal of last year brought (think sword or knife energy) we cut away and through the bullshit to get clear on the heart of all that matters.
Looking Forward
The Yin Metal (think of jewelry and adornments) brings about a refined temperament. Though rigidity and discipline of the sword aids in control and was needed, there comes a time to soften. To move forward from what we have learned from harsh lessons and grow according to what is truly needed.
As we birth this coming spring, we focus our vision for planting fertile seeds for a prosperous year to share.
Ox are dependable, grounded, strong and sure footed so I wish you the same for your year ahead.
Cheers to you and your family!!! 🙏🏽
