Aquarius represents truth, science, altruism, hope, ideals, inspiration,
new ideas, associations, friendships/community, inventions, eccentricity,
electronic media, computing, Astrology, anything unusual, New Age interests and
Humanitarian pursuits. The sign of the
Visionary, Aquarius sees the bigger picture and takes action. Freedom is important to Aquarius. Aquarius rules the ankles, lower legs,
circulatory system, veins, arteries (esp. hardening of), spasms and cramps.
Other
Energies and influences
On the mass consciousness level, there
has been so much unsettled energy since the new prez took up office. Folks are already being so easily
manipulated, they are fighting with each other on social media about it all,
and this is exactly what ‘They’ want. A
divided people makes it so easy to manipulate and control people. You are playing right into their hands. Stop arguing about it and do something about
it.
The transition between the outgoing Year
of the Monkey and the incoming Rooster was tricky at times. Over the next week or so the energies will
settle down and we will begin to work with the better energies in this Rooster
year.
CHINESE NEW YEAR
Year of the Fire Rooster
Yin – Red – Fire - Rooster
What we can expect for the Fire Rooster year (Jan
2017-Feb 2018):
Courage – Enthusiasm –
Hard work – Friendship - Flamboyance
You are
a Rooster if you were born in:
1909.
1921. 1933. 1945. 1957. 1969. 1981. 1993. 2005.
Although this is your year Roosters, it could be
challenging at times for you.
The resilient
Rooster.
The Rooster’s
motto is “I know better.”
Rooster positive energies:
Forthright,
brave, enthusiastic, loyal, hardworking, tenacious, resilient, adventurous,
meticulous, prompt, astute, well-dressed, proficient, down-to-earth,
gregarious, communicative, sensible, generous, charming, ebullient and
terminally witty.
Rooster shadow energies:
Cranky,
fussy, vain, self-involved, blindly egotistical, over-zealous, pretentious,
materialistic, grabby, high-handed, cynical, mercurial, self-absorbed, and
quixotic as hell.
The Fire
Rooster = Complexity and passion. Fire
Rooster is volatile, craving confrontation, and rushes in feet first. Rooster thrives on exaltation. Roosters are excited
and involved in everything. Sameness and
lack of challenge create boredom and depression.
In China, the
Rooster is associated with the five virtues; fortune, courage, goodness,
confidence and military honour.
The Chinese
people say that this year people will be more polite and less stubborn, but
they will have the tendency to complicate things.
As Asian
people see it, the year 2017 is a year dominated by the orientation towards
progress, honour and maximum integrity, with people learning to temper their
ardor.
The above
information gives us all pointers to work with, it shows us what we can aim
towards and what we need to avoid in ourselves and others.
When I tuned
in to Rooster I was told:
- 2017 is the year to be seen.
- Show
yourself to others and the world.
- Enhance
your image or have a make-over so that you can confidently strut your stuff
like Rooster.
- Try public
speaking or singing – join a choir or group.
- Be prepared
to work hard this year, as it will definitely pay off in the near future.
- Stay away
from those operating out of ego and avoid being drawn into gossip or slander.
- Channel
passionate energy in the right way – use it creatively (or in the bedroom).
- Stay away
from online debates that end up nowhere but a cloud of negativity.
- Speak up
for yourself as Rooster brings you the confidence to do this.
- Maintain your
integrity and keep your standards high at all times.
- Use
laughter and humour to diffuse difficult situations.
- Be kind to
everyone and especially yourself.
- Be generous
with your time and attention, there is always enough time to just stop and be
fully present, especially for someone who really needs it.
And if you
have a wobble, don’t worry, one squirt of our Red Rooster Spray Mist will get
you back on track. It contains organic
Flower & Vibrational Essences (and channelled energies) combined with
essential oils. It is fantastically
supportive and fills your aura with positivity.

NEW
MOON in Aquarius
For me this
New Moon is the true start to our New Year.
It is when everything starts to come into alignment (New Moon / Imbolc /
Chinese New Year).
The New Moon
in Aquarius asks us to be individual thinkers, to be free thinking people not
sheeple. Aquarius cares about humanity,
and as the water bearer, Aquarius wants to pour soothing waters in troubled
areas, to wash away hurts and pain and wants us all to join together in doing
this. Yet Aquarius is an air sign, so
encourages us to use our intellect in finding ways that we can join together
and help our communities - locally, nationally and globally. The media are determined to herd us in one
way, don’t be fooled by this. Aquarius activates
thinking outside the box; it celebrates uniqueness and different ways of doing
things. Who needs help in your
community? How can you do something
about it?
Aquarius is
also the Visionary. Tune into the higher
aspect of your mind to receive higher-level information and creative ideas
about how we can all move forward together.

And it is
Imbolc, the celebration of Spring, welcoming the return of the Spring Maiden
and all the magick She will sow. We are
entering the time of sowing seeds – what seeds will you be sowing this year?
Imbolc is a
time of new beginnings. The light is
returning stronger each day, the Sun is getting warmer and soon the Earth will
warmly welcome the seeds we want to plant.
Imbolc is a celebration of fertility (in many different ways).
IMBOLC NEW MOON RITUAL
Copyright: E.Yule 2017
You will
need:
- Pale green
candle/s (representing Spring growth) and/or white candle/s
- Notebook,
paper and pen
- Snowdrops
(a picture will do if you haven’t got any)
- Holy Water
(this can be sacred water that you have made)
- White cloth
- Swan
feather (or picture)
- A piece of
your artwork or your favourite piece of art
- Some
beautiful music
- Seed
packets (this ritual will bless them)
Find a place
and time where you cannot be disturbed by anyone.
Turn all
‘phones off.
Start playing
the lovely music softly in the background.
Lay out your
white cloth – this is your altar cloth.
Position the
candles (they may direct you to where they want to go).
Now add the
other items – let them ‘tell’ you where they want to be placed on the cloth –
take your time doing this.
When
everything is in its place, light the candles in a sun-wise fashion (clockwise).
Anoint your
forehead, lips, throat and the centre of the palm of your hands with the Holy
Water. (Cleansing yourself and Blessing yourself).
Sit
comfortably, and looking at the candle flames, focus on your breathing. Take a few deep breaths and breathe right down
into your belly. Focus on your beautiful
belly for a few moments, (your belly is your Cauldron of Creativity, the place
from whence all things are born).
As you relax
deeper into the breath, call in Bridget/Bridie to assist you in your
Ritual. When you feel Her energy get
ready to write in your notebook.
She may give
you direct guidance, or you may want to write your New Moon/New Year
manifestation list, all that you wish to manifest over the coming year. Take
your time doing this.
When you have
finished writing, take the Swan feather and stroke it over each page that you
have written. Ask for Bridget/Bridie’s
blessing on all that you grow and manifest this year.
Now tap the
Swan feather three times on each packet of seeds (this awakens and activates
the seeds) and once again ask for Bridget/Bridie’s blessing on all that you
grow and manifest this year.
Sit and enjoy
the lovely energy and see if there are any more messages coming through for
you.
When you feel
the energy ‘cooling’ down or fading, give thanks and then send the light of
each candle out to someone or somewhere in need (don’t just snuff them out) and
see each prayer going up on the smoke to the Creator.
Keep your
notebook/New Moon-New Year list on your altar where it cannot be seen by anyone
else. (You can roll your New Moon/New
Year list into a scroll, tie it with a pale green ribbon and keep it on your
Altar).
May all the seeds that you sow blossom and grow.

Another thing
that you can do at Imbolc is to burn any old greenery still hanging around from
Yule, along with herbs you didn’t use that are past their best. This is burning away the old year and using
the ash to fertilise the new year, as you can put the ash from this fire in
your flowerbeds – your Roses especially will appreciate this.
This Aquarius
New Moon invites us to stand up for our rights, to refuse to be manipulated or
have any more of our freedom taken away from us. To stand up for Mother Earth and fight if we
have to, to keep Her safe and healthy. Aquarius
is about change, and everything is changing.
People are not stupid, they can see through the bullsh*t of politicians
and the media. Make the most of it trumpster; the Emperor’s New Clothes are already
revealing the ugly truth underneath.
By joining
forces we, the People, can bring about innovative, positive change for all our
relations. This is the perfect year to
join a cause that you are passionate about and to use peace as the way forward,
just look at how powerfully those brave peace protestors at Standing Rock were
able to make the world wake up and realise what is going on. Sisters and Brothers it is time for us to
unite, if we are to save our planet and humanity’s plight.
MOON MESSAGE
Gong Xi Fa Cai! and New
Moon Blessings to y’all, So Mote It Be
