Year of Fire Monkey
A good time to take action!
Calm the "Monkey Mind"
~Amie
Welcome to the Year of the Red Fire Monkey! Monkey is the 9th sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which make this both a 9 Lunar and 9 Solar year (2016=2+0+1+6=9). 9 is the number of completion, it heralds a time to wrap things up and bring them to a conclusion, and since it is the end of the 9 year cycle, many of the things we've been working on over the past 8 years will come to fruition and/or completion this year. It is also the number of Unconditional Love and selflessness, Spiritual Awakening, service to humanity, Lightwork, romance, destiny, life purpose, intuition, higher perspective and strength of character, among other things. And with the Red Fire Monkey energy bringing a call to action, impulsivity, creativity, joy, passion and cunning (Monkeys are considered to be smart and naughty in the Chinese Zodiac). So, it should be quite a year for many folks! (I was happy to learn that it is to be a very fortunate year for Monkeys as well as their friends, Rats, Dragons and Snakes, of which I am).
"The year of the Monkey is ideal for a quantum leap in your life! Now is the time to shake things up, create change, and innovate a new path. Join Monkey’s enthusiast energy when risks are rewarded and anything can happen. Even the most ambitious plans can succeed. There will be more than enough action and opportunity to keep you busy. In Monkey year, it’s fine to just make it up as you go along. Just don’t be gullible and trust the wrong people, or wily Monkey will take all the peanuts and leave you only shells."
"Of the five Taoist elements Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood, this is the year of the red Fire Monkey. Red means go! Fire brings passion, creativity, and joy. Fire types are strong, dynamic, and can overcome illness and obstacles. Just be aware to not jump ahead of yourself this year, especially during the heat of summer. And try to calm what is called Monkey mind in Buddhism: jump to a branch, grab a banana, peel it, take a bite, drop it. Then jump to the next branch, grab a banana, peel it, take a bite, and drop it in a useless tail-chasing cycle. As soon as you realize that a path is not fruitful, try a new one instead of staying stuck and trying to analyze the past." http://susanlevitt.com/astrology/monkey-year-2016/
So, my friends, do not be afraid to embrace your curious, tenacious, vigilant monkey nature and fly by the seat of your pants, passionately and joyfully toward the fulfillment and/or release of the dreams and visions you've been cultivating over the course of this last cycle (think especially about what you began in and around 2007). The time for completion is now...there is ample support available at this time, and if you allow the power of the Universe to flow through you, unrestricted, amazing things will happen! Happy Year of the Fire Monkey! <3
