CHINESE NEW YEAR 2007

YEAR OF ‘THE PIG TRAVERSING THE MOUNTAIN’

© Malvin Artley

This was the fourth Chinese New Year letter and one that began with a different approach:

"...Firstly, in explaining how last year played out, the stage will be set for getting an idea of how this year will go. Last year, as we saw, the Element Earth was in the ascendancy. It ruled the year in many ways, even though Fire ruled the Year Pillar. Earth is associated with the planet Saturn in Chinese astrology and Saturn, as we know, is intimately tied up with the notion of karma and restriction. People felt like God was out to get them in general. The seers I have talked to over the year all said something similar—a lot of old ‘stuff’ is being pulled out of people’s psyches at the moment in order to bring about an accelerated healing in the world. "
