] Date Posted: 13/02/07 22:11 Hello, I observe the lunar new year and I just was thinking that a few garden folk interested in Chinese Astrology may like this link: http://www.chineseastrology.com/wu/pigyear.php 2007 • Year of the Fire Pig • By Shelly Wu The 12th and final sign of the Eastern zodiac begins on February 18, 2007. 2006's "furnace" of Yang Fire ( Bing ) now dims and the Fire element becomes the flickering "candlelight" Yin Fire ( Ding ) in 2007's Fire Pig year. While the Fire element will still be present, the hidden element in the Pig branch is Water, so in 2007 we have the picture of Fire over Water. It will be the 24th year in the current 60 year cycle. As this past year of the Dog built structure and a symbolic "home" it is now time for the Pig to "furnish" said castle , making it a comfortable, cozy place of safety and security. Occupying the life palace of home and family life with the Dog, the Pig proceeds to complete what the Dog has laid foundations for. Finishing touches, tying up loose ends, last stands, curtain calls and closures will be the urging of the year. So, prepare to finish projects, complete goals and even say some goodbyes. Put your ducks in a row, cross your T's and dot your I's in 2007 and the proper Pig will be gracious to you. Pig years are known for their respite from strife, patience and passivity, but also for indulgence, sensuality and fleshly delights. As the last sign of the zodiac, the Pig represents "resignation" accepting human nature as it is -- content to live and let live. The greatest risk will be naïveté, so by all means avoid confidence schemes and being fooled or duped throughout 2007. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 16/02/07 22:47 ohh this was great. I was born in the year of the pig.. and have taken up quite an interest in reading about it recently so it was nice to come across this. "fire over water" it conjured up so many wonderful images for me. (typical piscean lol) and i really liked.... it is now time for the Pig to "furnish" said castle , making it a comfortable, cozy place of safety and security. Occupying the life palace of home and family life with the Dog, the Pig proceeds to complete what the Dog has laid foundations for. thats sooo nice because ive just moved into my house. and im well.. furnishing it!!! making it a safe and happy place for harry to grow. how great. anyway thanks for that, I have been reading into feng shui, the relevance of pa kua numbers etc etc its all gotten a little over my head but im finding it really interesting. so many things have corresponded though. my auspicious direction being nouth west. and I did a meditation the other day by a river, and had a name of a goddess come to me. thetis.. now i cant say to know much about her so i came home and read..that North-East section of the wheel of Brigid ana (the wheel used in glastonbury by the priestesses of avalon mainly) well that section that is my auspicious area on the feng shui pa kua, and is actually sacred to the time of Imbolc to the goddess Bridgit and Kernababy and Thetis! These goddesses also being linked to the swan, snake, wolf and the cow. again linked me to my name jadewolf.. aww i love it when things all start linking. makes me feel just connected. anyway ermm Zen yeah i got totally sidetracked there. but to me the i ching, chinese astrology, and all those things that started just from me wanting to re arrange my living room... have shown me a lot of insights that i might not of other wise learnt. i shall keep up to date on here with any other info you fancy posting!!

Date Posted: 19/02/07 4:05 a couple years ago i figured my self to be a pig makes a lotta sense let me say lol however according to Shelly Wu -metal dog- is the one dec/20/71 sag cusp of capricorn but i always look to the archer for guidance the prediction for -metal dog- fits but it is all just a matter of perception anyway right thanx to you Zenwind [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
