In case you haven’t noticed, I have been absent for a few months – and for good reasons! The Horse 午 year did not fail to make its energy known. It was certainly one of the most dynamic times in my life and the latter half of 2014 did not disappoint. The year was marked [...]
A personal tragedy at the end of September prevented me from completing the forecast for October. I know many of my sweet, loyal followers and students alike were puzzled by my absence. But I’m back! And here we are, approaching the Pig 亥 month as we inch closer and closer to the end of the [...]

On May 5th, we welcome the month of Yin Earth Snake 己巳. Buh-bye heavy Earth month! It was quite an interesting month for some. But alas, the Snake 巳 brings about more changes and movements!! The Snake 巳 month also brings us back to FIRE as we officially transition into the Summer season. Are you [...]
On April 5th, you can expect to notice a HUGE shift as we enter into the strong, heavy month of Yang Earth Dragon 戊辰. You can equate this month like the grandiose image of a mountain. This April can finally be the positive release to those who have been struggling with the Hot Hot Fire [...]
Did you survive the hot, fiery month of February? On March 6th, we shift into the month of Yin Fire Rabbit 丁卯. In Chinese Metaphysics, Yin Fire 丁 is often compared to a candle. While a candle is in no comparison to the size of our Sun (Yang Fire 丙), do not under estimate its [...]
