February 4 takes us into the month of the Earth Tiger and the arrival of spring. We’re now in the first month of the year of the Rat according to the solar calendar – a time of transitions, with both annual and monthly environmental energies we refer to as Feng Shui shifting into new directions, affecting our environment and immediate surroundings.
It’s time to do your annual Feng Shui adjustment. February 4 is the start of spring in the solar calendar, a day used by Chinese Metaphysics practitioners to mark the start of a new astrological year. It’s also the day when annual elemental and astronomical influences that we refer to as “flying stars” in classical Feng Shui shift into new directions, affecting the environment, including the space we occupy.
January 6 takes us into the month of the Fire Ox, the last month of the year of the Earth Pig. Yin / darkness is now in decline while Yang is gaining strength. Soon we will enter the new lunar year of the Metal Rat, celebrated on January 25th, which is also the beginning of spring in the Chinese calendar. Stay tuned for insights into the year of the Rat here on the blog in the next couple of weeks and a sign by sign countdown on my daily astrology page @goldriverastro on Instagram.
