2012 will be the year of the water dragon and I am busily preparing for that event. I have lots of fabulous events planned - those of you who regularly browse my site will see a new menu item.

Tues 3rd Jan 2012: yin water pig

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yang metal rat
• day: yin water pig

The emperor is yin water.

The flow is to output.

The emperor is weak.

The flow towards output or nurturing of others is a fabulous trend. Some of us are naturally very good at doing this and others of us need to learn how to make sacrifices of our selves. We can tend to be too self focused particularly those of you who have dominant charts - learning to truly give without attachment is the key.

Wed 4th Jan: yang wood rat

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yang metal rat
• day: yang wood rat

The emperor is yang wood.

The flow is to wood.

The emperor is strong being supported by the universal flow.

When we learn to cultivate non-attachment we find that nothing is good and nothing is bad - all is as it should be.

Today's sharing is from Thich Nhat Hanh.

' There is no distinction between the one who gives, the one who receives, and the gift itself.'

Thurs 5th Jan: yin wood ox

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yang metal rat
• day: yin wood ox

The emperor is yin wood.

The flow is to wood.

The emperor is strong,He has managed to recruit all the metal and the water to support his ends.

There is an attempt at subversion going on between the rat and the ox but it comes to nothing because of the rabbit. He is in his dying hours but still has a little oomph left in him.

Here in the southern hemisphere it is a little easier to feel the movement in the universal qi flows as we are in the full flight of summer when it is easier to maintain optimism and to feel the power of the sun warming our bones and for most of us our hearts.

We are heading to the change of the month tomorrow morning at 06:41hrs - be prepared.

Fri 6th Jan: yang fire tiger; yin metal ox month

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yin metal ox
• day: yang fire tiger

The emperor is yang fire.

The flow is tricky! Lots of potentials which are unrealisable except in certain hours.

Traditionally when we change months we would consider it a void day and advocate not doing special things on this day. I would reinforce that choice.

Good day for reading, writing, planning and generally doing little or nothing.

This is the last month of the rabbit year and we will see the rabbit's influence fading and the energy of the dragon starting to rise up.

Sat 7th Jan: yin fire rabbit

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yin metal ox
• day: yin fire rabbit

The emperor is yin fire.

The flow is from wood through to metal. The rabbits give to the day master, who gives to offspring who gives to wealth.

If your chart supports this flow, and you can handle wealth then it is a good day for making wealth creation plans and actioning your plans. Do you make plans for your career advancement? Do you visialise regularly? Are you able to put into action your plans or do they always remain in the virtual realm? Sometimes getting coaching around these things can be really helpful.

Sun 8th Jan: yang earth dragon

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yin metal ox
• day: yang earth dragon

The emperor is yang earth.

The flow is to metal.

The emperor is weak as he flows out to support the metal stems.

If metal is important to you then you will be able to 'reap' the rewards of metal. If you are looking for the metal flow to support you then the ox and the yin metal will be VERY useful to you.

Mon 9th Jan: yin earth snake

• year: yin metal rabbit
• month: yin metal ox
• day: yin earth snake

The emperor is yin earth.

The flow is VERY powerfully to metal as the ox and snake combine to form a very powerful, well supported metal team.

The emperor is weak.

If you have a rooster in your chart and it is important to you then you will feel as though there is some sort of universal current running through you today. We refer not just to your natal chart but to your luck pillars. sometimes we are just waiting for the right flow to be established. It, will however be very difficult to take a break from this flow. For those of us whe do not like yin metal please make sure you don't use knives or very sharp implements and DON'T plan surgery for today.
