Year of the Owl

This time tomorrow it will be the Year of the Owl; a year of messages. It is within this year that you will Hear a Message that will alter your life and you will Give a Message that will alter the lives of another. As this is an 'Air Year', the messages will serve to liberate you or whomever hears your message of unneeded burdens in their lives. This change will allow them (and you) to cast off so...me of the burdens that have been weighing them down all these years. The problem with such messages is that they're never clean-cut - and rarely are they simple.

Messages like "I'm leaving," or "You're leaving" can liberate you (or the other person) and they will, eventually help in the casting off of burdens long-carried, but that is not to say that the process will be easy, quick or clean. Messages like these have Resonance (Yes, BIG R, Resonance). They affect not only the people that they're directed to but can (and often do) create ripples around them.

Concept: The crane is a symbol of balance; balance through wisdom.

Born: Those born in the year of the crane are often faced with having to navigate through the hazards of life to find their own balance. Like the crane picking its way through the reeds at the edge of the waters, they move from one leg to the other - gently picking the way through potential danger. Cranes will have hardship thrown at them over and over again but they have the capacity to find a balance that may not work for anyone else.


Year: The year of the Crane is all about figuring out some sense of balance for your life. It may not work for other people but if it works for you - if you can find some sense of balance, embrace it.

Born:


Year: The year of the Horse is all about stretching your legs and enjoying a bit of freedom. The Horse is a creature of the wind and wants to get out. Like the butterfly that has just emerged from the old cocoon, the Horse wants nothing more than to go experience some of the newly found freedom.

1946

Born: Those born in the year of the Serpent are continually reinventing themselves. Whether they stick to a New Year’s resolution or not, they seem to always be itching at their life, never satisfied with what they are for long. One year it’s yoga, the next it’s a tattoo. They are also more likely to change their appearance to match their ever-dynamic personality.

Year: The year of the Serpent is a year of transformation. In this year, you will slowly scratch yourself along the rocks to free your from the itchy dead skin of years past. The process of pulling the skin from your body is a painful process that can last the whole of the year but in the end you will have been transformed into something greater than you were.
