September 1 New Moon I Be True To Yourself

“Impossible is not a declaration, it’s a dare.”
–Muhammad Ali

September 1 new moon, the high stepping Rooster with his vermillion crest and forthright manner strode onto the Zodiac main stage. Divine creature that calls in the new dawn, Rooster lives up to his colorful attitude as well as his honest nature as expressed by the ancient scholar, Tian Rao. “The five virtues of the Rooster…. The Rooster dons a crimson cap, a mark of literary sophistication! It claws its enemies, what martial prowess! It calls to its cohorts when food is available, a creature of compassion! It fights to the death with its nemesis, what bravery! And it never fails to keep time, a trustworthy soul.” What is unique about rooster is its ability to keep time for humans which leads the Chinese to the conclusion there is a divine spark in the rooster that makes it capable of this unique task.”

The great Ali portrayed many of Rooster’s exceptional characteristics with authenticity being his most outstanding trait. He leaves a legacy for us all, “be true to yourself’”. For when you stand true to your heart nothing is impossible and the grit built from your integrity is the foundation for manifesting your dreams.

September 13 New Moon. Mercury Retrograde and Rooster.

“What is unique about rooster is its ability to keep time for humans which leads the Chinese to the conclusion there is a divine spark in the rooster that makes it capable of this unique task.”
–Tian Rao

Heaven has a lot in store for us this month! September 13 new moon + solar eclipse, Mercury Retrograde, September 17, 2015  and August 27, full moon + lunar eclipse. Dig deep and plan your strategies for the fall. Review your goals. Beautify your home with a Feng Shui remodel or redecorate. If you need stability or to strengthen your boundaries add earth tones – all range of yellows, oranges and brown tones, you could even stretch it to mocha and chocolate. Take more self care opportunities, schedule a mini-retreat by getting a massage, going to a Nature park or sit in silence by water. These fruitful labors will yield an abundant harvest. 

If you find the retrograde a challenge the Rooster will have your back. And here is why, from Tian Rao, the five virtues of the Rooster: “The Rooster dons a crimson cap, a mark of literary sophistication! It claws its enemies, what martial prowess! It calls to its cohorts when food is available, a creature of compassion! It fights to the death with its nemesis, what bravery! And it never fails to keep time, a trustworthy soul. What is unique about rooster is its ability to keep time for humans which leads the Chinese to the conclusion there is a divine spark in the rooster that makes it capable of this unique task.” How might your life change if you eliminated some of these characteristics? Kindness being the top of the list. Doors would open as if by magic.

What do the stars say about your Chinese zodiac animal in the Month of the Rooster: Here are soundbites to help you stay out of harm’s way. Rat: your romance area is going marvelous but career and finances are tipsy. Be patient and refrain from being extravagant. Ox: luck of the month is gradually getting better. Look in the mirror and pinch yourself, wealth and romantic luck are getting better and you have warm glow radiating from you. However beware of entrances and portals to your home. Tiger: travel this month for your career and helpful people will show up in spades. Enjoy Peach Blossom Luck but don’t let it develop into Peach Blossom Disaster. Do good deeds but also find ways to equip yourself. Rabbit: you might want to plan a lot of time in bed. Conflict is likely the entire month with your sign in confrontation with Rooster. Its a time to practice diplomacy and reserve. If you must and if you can take long retreats – that’s the silver lining. Dragon: smooth sailing – career prospects will improve and financial fortune will follow accordingly. As you ascend stay focused on your path and not others’ affairs. Do good deeds daily. Snake: Three Harmony Luck! You will receive good news on all fronts. If you are in a romantic relationship, marriage is highlighted. Career prospects are outstanding so don’t sit back and wait and don’t hesitate. Horse: you will experience many gains in both fortune and happiness. Be conservative, don’t spend beyond your means. Be cautious when you speak so those who have an axe to grind cannot distort your words. If a family member gets sick, seek medical advice promptly. Ram: not so lucky this month. It will feel like your endeavors are thwarted. There might be a death in the family. Avoid visiting people in the hospital, if you do go carry nine round orange peels. Monkey: help and guidance surround you. Be careful of conflict in interpersonal relationships. People could be gossiping about your. Handle it calmly and don’t let it disrupt your work. Rooster: good and bad luck play out this month. Beware of blood shedding incidents, traffic accidents or minor surgeries. Chant the Five Thunders if you go to the hospital to visit or be admitted. Dog: a confrontational month, there could be turmoil, disputes and betrayal. Boost your luck with the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell. Pig: try, try again and you will succeed and your luck returns. Financial picture is bright in the second half of the month. Invest into savings or establish a new business partnership.
