Lunar New Year 2.12.21 Year Of The Metal Ox 💫 The Ox is the 2nd zodiac animal in Chinese astrology + highly esteemed for its hardworking, honest, grounded, loyal + trustworthy nature. The Ox fixes, stabilizes, heals + unifies. 💫 The Metal Ox Year is a fresh start for us all. It has the potential to stabilize but we must, like the Ox be at the ready to get involved + do our part. This is not a year to sit back + wait for others to take care of business! 💫 The difficult challenges of last year – a Metal Rat year that brought a world-wide pandemic, painful adjustments + grief – can be transformed through healing + unification. But again, the Ox can’t do it alone. We must be persistent to ensure that we reach the goals we set for ourselves + engage in helping the planet find its way back to center. 💫 The Metal element, one of five elements in Feng Shui (metal, wood, water, fire + earth) is associated with courage + the ability to succeed. Each zodiac animal is associated with one of the five elements + the ox’s intrinsic element is earth. Mixing an earth ox with a metal year brings challenges because of Metal’s cold + fixed nature but with hard work, determination + a focus on rebuilding what was lost in the Rat year, we are sure to make strides toward better days. 💫 Rituals to welcome the New Year: * Clean the House - “Dust Off” old stale energy + create room for a 'fresh new start'. STOP before New Years Day or you’ll wash away the luck of the year! * Wear RED, a symbol of luck, happiness, vitality + long life * Set out a bowl of oranges, tangerines or mandarins symbols of golden luck * Purchase Flowers - daffodils, azaleas, peonies or hyacinths, which are especially auspicious * Create a Wealth Bowl – place a glass or ceramic bowl (with a few coins) next to your front door. Every time you have loose change, place them in the Wealth Bowl to symbolically accumulate wealth. * Purify the house – Burn sandalwood incense + ring bells to clear the air + change the energy of your home * At midnight, open doors + windows for 9 minutes to release the past + let the new year in! 💫 Sending love + light for an auspicious New Year 💥」2月12日 8時44分
