Astrology

The Chinese New Year of the Tiger is February 14 that last occurred in 1950 and also is of the metal element. In-depth interpretation of this ancient system is impossible here but very basically the day coincides with the New Moon in Aquarius on February 13 and sets in motion specific energy patterns for the year to come.

Generally Tiger energy is authority and power so 2010-2011 will bring issues in that arena. The Tiger symbolizes the female Yin energy as opposed to the Yang male energy of the dragon. Money and finances as well as power and its distribution are all factors to be noticed.

This Aquarius New Moon brings a sense of renewal and will help to establish greater unity for both individuals in relation to society and within large groups. The primary cycle is for two weeks taking you right to the end of February affording time to build and grow and make new starts. This is as well a great aid to birthing plans for the future and those pathways that open to manifesting an ideal.

While Valentine’s Day is not astrological in origin it is certainly significant. Love is Venus ruled and this week Venus shifts into Pisces furthering the concept of soul mates, an ideal partner, and those dreams of joyous companionship. This Valentine’s Day has those overtones that are shades of karmic connections and finding those bonds with whom you have traveled through many lifetimes. It just may be that a dream is more real than is recognized.
