1 Dog and New Year's Day of the Goat

Today is the first day of Goat on the frequency of the Lunar Year as measured by the ancient Chinese system.

Looking at the western astrology for today and combining it with the Chinese Year of the Goat and then further integrating the Dog Timewave as a significator for the Lunar year ahead, I have come up with this quick evaluation.

 The Year of the Goat, asks us to draw upon the ability of the goat to climb and take the path least travelled. The climb requires a certain mastery of keeping ones balance and not being afraid of reaching new heights in ones self to overcome pessimism and worry. The mountain is a personal one, as is the non linear path. As I explained here (The Alchemical Transformation of the Human Experience) we are at a major crossroads that requires you to push ahead with that benevolent project or progressive idea that you have been holdng. There is energy available for progressive projects and they are needed.

The year ahead favours spending time with people but the challenge is to communicate more emotionally honestly whilst still being sensitive to others, not easy. This year will supply you with new emotional strength, if you make the effort to ovecome the default thinking of the flock (Sheep) and maintain a steady path, rather than just charge (Ram). Draw upon the strength of the Ram and channel it through the serenity of the Goat. Overcome feelings of insecurity and the year will work for you. Have faith.

The Dog Timewave begins today, themes of the emotional body, needs, emotional cravings, habits, pattterning love, companionship, boundaries and protections, feeling part of community, feeling connected to other beings, the question of belonging...

Call upon spirit guides to help you during this timewave.

Who are your companions and where do you belong? A good time to be with others and schedule in events with others, as you synchronize with the pack

A new 13-day timewave of companionship, relationship and guidance. Do you need a guide? Are you needed to be a guide?

Be open to following a guide and being a guide.... Ride the ebb and flow of emotions in this 13-day period, specifically in regard to relationships. Love the ones you love.

Territory: See your boundaries defined as the timewave unfolds.

Who shares your path with you on this frequency of consciousness?

I love the way the Mayan Sacred Calendar changes direction. For example, in the 260-day system, the Earthmover timewave of ground-shaking evolution is followed by the emotionally based Dog timewave.

The Dog is companionship in this world and the next. The Dog guides us over the threshold into the next life. Dog timewave is all about those you love, those who share our journey; it also about giving and receiving guidance -- and that includes spirit guides.
