Year of the Earth Dog
On February 15th, the Chinese New Year began. In Chinese astrology each zodiac year is not just associated with an animal sign, but also one of five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. If you are born in one of these years: 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and presently 2018, you are born in a Dog year.
Solar Eclipse/New Moon in Aquarius
The new moon in Aquarius coincides with a solar eclipse the day after Valentine's Day, this Thursday, February 15th. For millions of people around the planet, it is also Chinese New Year. Watch for another blog post about the Year of the Earth Dog later this week. This is a time for introspection, for reflecting on what needs to shift or change internally, before making what could be some sweeping external changes in March when the sun enters Aries and the whole cycle begins again.

Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon in Leo
The Full Moon tomorrow is a rare celestial event; the last time it occurred was 150 years ago. It’s a Blue Moon, a Super Moon and a total Lunar Eclipse all wrapped up in proud Leo finery. As with anything to do with Leo, we are dealing with an emphasis on self, central ideas and leadership. Eclipses shake, rattle, and roll. Leo Full Moons magnify feelings. The intensity of this Full moon tells us there is potential for a dramatic flair.
