The Year of the Water Snake 2013
The Snake is the Yin Fire animal of the Chinese Zodiac, governing the Heart organ known as the “Seat of Consciousness” where memory is stored and emotions are felt. Like a small candle flame, it is powerful in being the beginning of great transformation as it’s sets light to far greater spheres beyond it’s own. In a “Water” year, we can energetically link the force of the two elements to unite as a ripple effect, extending our oneness consciousness of unity, connectedness and merging forces within human kind.
Water people (born on a water day – in the Chinese Astrological calendar) will be called upon this year to step forward, take control and gain recognition for the fruits of their labours. Water souls have a busy year in 2013 while spreading their wings and expanding to greater heights…which brings them to need caution where their vital energy may steam and dissipate in spreading themselves too thinly. An interesting time indeed.
Metal people will make significant changes this year in surrendering to the powers that be and letting go of rigidly set ways. 2013 brings transformation to Metal people more than most, in breaking them down to become more malleable, flexible and willing to explore the unknown so as to be of service in ways that require the ultimate level of selflessness that lead to greater wisdom, recognition and humbling.
Earth spirits shall finally obtain their well earned support and recognition for their valuable contribution to sustainable living, through a commitment to nurturing the solidarity of existence. Overall Earth people will be strengthened by the energy of the Water Snake.. in particular, Yin earth people will have an incredibly harmonious year with relationships.
Wood people have a brilliant potential to shine this year as elemental influences are just ripe for the picking. Wood need both Fire (brought through the Snake) and Water elements to grow in sunshine, heat and water. 2013 brings perfect conditions for wood to grow and expand rapidly. The water Snake brings balance and blessings to wood people, with the stars aligned perfectly to enhance their strengths and allow them to soak up all that deep water wisdom.
In Flying Star Feng Shui, we are now in “The Age of 8”, making it the most auspicious and influence in this current cycle 2004 – 2024. In each “age” there are 3 stars that bring “good luck”, fortune and abundance. They are the current age and it’s 2 following stars, now 9 & 1.
Each of the 9 stars represent a certain archetype / vibrational force. 8 is the star of fertility, youth, spirituality, health and human relationships and wealth (very akin to Feng Shui itself). This means that there is great potential for those who have an entry in the North East aspect (direction) of their home / business this year.
For those with an entry in the North (1) or South (9) – this year also holds great promise of opportunity.
With 1 signifying the Water element & Academic advancement, promotion, and flow (money)…North facing buildings have great potential this year to attract success.
With 9 representing the fire element, spirituality, recognition, creativity and expansion, this year bring South facing buildings have the enhanced ability to grow through transformation, purification and rebirth, as well as self expression, creative pursuits and outlets, that promise greater rewards and fulfilment that blossoms.
This is impressive Leah. I haven’t been looking at Chinese astrology for quite a while, but it resonates so much with what I can feel the seeds of. Reading about the effect on wood it all makes even more sense. Beautiful blog.
Thanks Aimee! I am grateful to her it:) From memory, you yourself are Wood self element (day sign) also, Yang Wood. So you would love the Water Snake as I do. I really appreciate the feedback, especially coming from you who I have been so inspired by!
