Chinese Astrology Essences
This group of essences started off with a
series of synchronistic events that I found not only interesting but validating
as well. I felt drawn to producing an essence to honour the Water Horse
for this Chinese year of 2002. A friend of mine even before she heard of
this current project "happened" to send me the traditional poem describing
The Horse. Then out of the blue, my distributor for Japan and beloved Soul
Daughter Shion emailed me asking if I could produce an essence for each
of these animals! The third event happened when I told my dear friend Jackie
about Shion's request, she generously took the time and trouble to send
me all twelve of the poems the following day! I knew the that this group
of essences needed to be completed and uploaded to the web site and in
doing so, it would be a grand way to honour the Water Horse who started
this whole process for me! Instead of redefining what the Chinese have
already written so beautifully, I have included each of the poems below
as a reference for the intent of each essence. Along with the Animal there
are ten stems or elements that can also be included. For example, I am
a Metal Rat and if someone knows what his or her stem is (Feng Shui and
Chinese Astrology sites will often have a feature to help you determine
both the Stem (element) and Animal) the element can be included with the
Animal. Each of these essences is based on the highest traditional energies
of your Animal. The essences can be used to help you better understand
your own inner nature, the talents and abilities your Animal has gifted
you with or you can use the essence to help you better understand someone
whose sign is in conflict with your own. And of course the essences may
also be used to honour the current Animal for the year to deflect bad luck
and attract good fortune!
The Rat
I am the self-proclaimed
acquisitor. I am a link yet I function as a complete unit. I aim at encompassing
heights and strike my target, sure and steady. Life is one joyous journey
for me. Each search must end with a new quest. I am progress, exploration
and insight. I am the womb of activity. I AM THE RAT.
The Ox
Mine is the stabilizing
force that perpetuates the cycle of life. I stand immobile against the
test of adversity, resolute and unimpeachable. I seek to serve integrity,
to bear the burdens of righteousness. I abide the laws of nature patiently
pushing the wheel of Fate. Thus, I shall weave my destiny. I AM THE OX.
The Tiger
I am the delightful
Paradox. All the world is my stage. I set new trails ablaze, I seek the
unattainable, and try the untried. I dance to life's music in gay abandon.
Come with me on my carousel rides. See the myriad of colors, the flickering
lights. All hail me the unparalleled performer. I AM THE TIGER.
The Rabbit
I am in tune with
the pulse of the universe. In my quiet and solitude I hear the melodies
of the soul. I float above commonplace dissent and decay. I subdue by my
ability to conform. I color my world in delicate pastel hues. I epitomize
harmony and inner peace. I AM THE RABBIT.
The Dragon
I am an unquenchable
fire, the center of all energy, the stout heroic heart. I am truth and
light, I hold power and glory in my sway. My presence disperses dark clouds.
I have been chosen to tame the Fates. I AM THE DRAGON.
The Snake
Mine is the wisdom
of the ages. I hold the key to the mysteries of life. Casting my seeds
on fertile ground, I nurture them with constancy and purpose. My sights
are fixed. My gaze unchanging. Unyielding, inexorable and deep, I advance
with steady, unslacked gait, the solid earth beneath me. I AM THE SNAKE.
The Horse
I am the Kaleidoscope
of the mind. I impart light, color and perpetual motion. I think, I see,
I am moved by electric fluidity. Constant only in my inconstancy, I am
unshackled by mundane holds, unchecked by sturdy, binding goals. I run
unimpeded through virgin paths. My spirit unconquered - my soul forever
free. I AM THE HORSE.
The Sheep
I am nature's special
child. I trust and am rewarded by trust. Fortune smiles upon my countenance.
All things blossom in the gentleness of my love. I strive to find beauty
in all I behold. I am fair of face and full of grace. I AM THE SHEEP.
The Monkey
I am the seasoned
traveler of the Labyrinth. The genius of alacrity, wizard of the impossible.
My brilliance is yet unmatched in its originality. My heart's filled with
potent magic that could cast a hundred spells. I am put together for mine
own pleasure. I AM THE MONKEY.
The Rooster
I am on hand to
herald in the day and to announce its exit. I thrive by clockwork and precision.
In my unending quest for perfection all things will be restored to their
rightful place. I am the exacting taskmaster, the ever-watchful administrator.
I seek perfect order in my world. I represent unfailing dedication. I AM
THE ROOSTER.
The Dog
The martial strains
have summoned me to hear your sorrows, still your pain. I am the protector
of Justice. Equality-my sole friend. My vision is never blurred by cowardice,
my soul never chained. Life without honor is life in vain. I AM THE DOG.
TheBoar
Of all God's children
I have the purest heart. With innocence and faith, I walk in Love's protective
light. By giving of myself freely I am richer and twice blest. Bonded to
all mankind by common fellowship, my goodwill is universal and knows no
bounds. I AM THE BOAR.
