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.
