The Alarm goes off: Earth Tiger Month, 2020

 
The Alarm goes off: Earth Tiger Month, 2020.
What to expect, what to do.

In the UK more people turn in sick on the first Monday in February than any other day. That’s some start to a year.

This February’s Earth Tiger favours Horse, Dog, Pig and the Tiger itself. Tiger is fierce and patient and possesses great vision, they never forget – a grudge , a slight or a defeat. On the other hand they may also recall a kindness. This is the door by which we enter what is often reckoned the saddest month of the year as well as how we might approach the most obdurate Tigers (born 1950, 62, 74, 86, 98).

As you might expect, the above four Animals should find the ball on the penalty spot today. The fiery Horse, Tiger and Dog may well actually kick it too. These Animals can usefully seek attention at this time. The Pig too, though you may still be recovering; the so-called “self-clash” may have made 2019 wearying. Time to get back on the pitch just the same.

Fact is that now is the time to stir, whatever your ba zi. Human beings are engineered to hide from the cold until the buds start to rise with the marginally longer days of February. But re-emerge we must. This is true even for the fun-loving Monkey and Snake whose Metal may be rusted from the long Winter; seek stability, warmth and a gentle re-birth. You may have to be serious a while.

The Rat is literally in his element all year and the months will tend to pass without much change to that. Ox too – by an Elemental quirk, the Ox rules Rat times such as the duration of this year. You Oxen can bank on the whip hand returning to you time and again. Others: stand back.

Outliers include the Rabbit who is likely to do fine but may fail to appreciate. Gratitude is your watchword. Rooster too – you are called to communicate more deeply than ever; those words you have been thinking but not given voice, they’re going to be aired very soon. Make sure that is you bringing them to light by speaking sooner rather than later. This is, I emphasise, the month of emergence.

The Sheep seeks a solace in the warm, a place at the table. You may not find it before March however.  Dragon – you are a law under yourself. Act accordingly and stop pretending you’re not.

And as ever let’s remember that no astrological analysis can never do any one of us full justice and the above words are pretty skimpy in any case. If you want more you know where to come.

Where to be in February.
Summary: regain direction in the North West.
North West, Authority: Year Star: 8 Month Star: 9
The North West houses genuine leadership and 8 hosting 9 is as helpful as it gets. If we are rejecting home offices and capital cities, this is where we go instead. For clear direction this year seek the North Western path where the Rebel Alliance is gathering. And there’s prosperity here meanwhile.
Enhance for wealth and success: Fire – bright light.

Where not to be in February.
Summary: fraught.
South West, Accumulation: Year Star: 4 Month Star:5.
The 5 shuts this, the place of the Mother and on some readings, relationships, down for a while. 5 hindering the 4 suggests ailments and fragility for women of all ages. Facing this way is fine but avoid the location itself if you can for now.
Mitigate: t’ang lung and/or Metal eg 6 Pipe Metal windchime.

Richard Ashworth is among the most respected Western Feng Shui Masters. He has worked from Lebanon to Bermuda, in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and with stars such as Kelly Hoppen and Gillian Anderson. Unusually for a Western Master, he has addressed the Grand Masters at the International Feng Shui Conference in Singapore. His day job remains “walking round people’s spaces being enigmatic”.

Every month we send (at a modest fee) retainer clients a more comprehensive monthly bulletin than this one, covering in detail right places to be (and when) as well as helpful days Animal by Animal and much more from the Chinese calendar.

Richard currently has one space for a new student. Details can be found here: https://imperialfengshui.info/courses/
