May 6 New Moon I Realizing Your Own Good!

“Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words.”
– Alfred Adler

New moons are invitations to create your own good. May 6 New Moon, Snake, the sixth animal of the zodiac, takes the spotlight. Snake’s steadying influence may offer order during this thrilling yet chaotic Fire Monkey ride. Both Monkey and Snake embody wisdom and native intelligence. Where Monkey may pounce on what immediately attracts its attention, Snake contemplates its strategy and when ready strikes to assure success. Realize your own good by aligning with the refined energy of Snake. As Yasha Jampolsky shares “thoughtful precise movement undertaken with grace will receive much support.” Here are seven action attributes to create “wise grace” and help you shape a successful month. 
• Eliminate unnecessary stress by slowing your movement down.
• Listen to your inner voice.

• Employ wisdom, not knee-jerk responses, to complete prolonged and difficult projects.
• Engage in metaphysics or study spirituality.
• Allow your intuition to expand.

April 7 New Moon I Dance With Dragon

With money, a dragon; without money, a worm.”
– an old Chinese expression
(Those in the West want to slay the dragon; in Hong Kong, they want to be the dragon.)

 As far back as 3000 BC, the Dragon has been revered and considered the most sacred of all animals. Dragons are regarded as descending from the Heaven realm. They are divine beasts of intense power, a Supreme Being amongst all creatures. It has the ability to live in the seas, fly up the heavens and lay coiled upon the land in the form of mountains. Being a divine, mythical animal, the Dragon, can ward off wandering evil spirits, protect the innocent and bestow safety to all that hold his emblem. The Chinese Dragon is looked upon as the ultimate symbol of Good Fortune. It represents fertility, immortality, happiness, power and wealth.

Why be the dragon? Richard Bang’s Huffington Post article expressed that by acknowledging dragon’s fine power and firing it up, prosperity will surely find its way into your life and a larger goodness will prevail; a higher virtue will emerge and balance will permeate all your transactions. You will make a difference in yourself and with those with whom you come in contact with. The new moon is the best time to manifest (but you can cultivate the energy any time during the month). April 7  un-tap this divine beast within you and dance its truth.

Puzzled over how to attain prosperity? Start with these three highly regarded Feng Shui cures. 1) Deer is deeply connected to prosperity and often replaced the God of Prosperity in ancient Chinese paintings and images because the words for deer and prosperity sound identical. An image of one hundred deer represent ‘prosperity one hundred times over.’ A simpler option is to display a painting or sculpture of a deer in your home or office and visualize the qualities of status, honor and advancement. 2) Create an arrangement of peonies on your dining room table. This esteemed flower is a symbol of prosperity and nobility. It represents wealth, rank and honor. Yellow and purple varieties are the most desirable. Hang either an image of a peony in a vase or place an actual peony (it may be silk) in a vase in the living room of your home. Either one expresses the wish for ‘prosperity and peace’, because the vase is a rebus for peace. 3) Hat-shaped gold and silver ingots are a popular prosperity cure. Place them at your front entry or in another highly visible area of your home. These were used as money in ancient China. Because the word for ingots contain yuán (meaning unity and expressing the essence of family which is esteemed in the Chinese culture), a picture of three ingots creates a rebus for ‘the three yuans,’ making it a symbol of status and honor.
