JAPANESE 9 STAR KI – ASTROLOGY FOR 2013
In Chinese Astrology, 2013 is the year of The Black Water Snake – a year of potential but it is wise to remember that the Snake does not make a move without considering the affects of its actions! However the Japanese 9 Star Ki Astrology offers even more insight into the year ahead.
In each New Year the stars ‘fly’ around the grid in sequence (as time passes) creating a whole cycle of 9. The energy of the stars influences the energy of each day, month and year as they move through the cycle. This year, The Year of the Black Water Snake, the 5 Earth Star is ‘at home’ in the centre of the grid, residing in its own house, meaning that all the stars are ‘at home’ energetically speaking.
For example, my Japanese Astrology numbers start with ‘1 Water’, so 1 Water is at home in the North, meaning that I will be embracing and influenced by the energy of the North – which is a very familiar energy to me/my star. For those of you who have had a Feng Shui Consultation with me, I will have worked out your 9 Star Ki numbers so do check your report and then you can see which number you are.
This year is therefore significant as we will resonate strongly with our own energy and will not be influenced by the other stars energies when they visit the centre of the Lo Shu Magic Square as in other years.
The focus of the energy of this year, 2013, is therefore ‘inwards’, or introspection if you like. While this is very positive as it is a time to re-energise and rejuvenate – giving us a sense of self, it will leave us a little detached and separated from the energies of the other stars. It is a time to become centered and grounded, to be connected to spirit and to re-evaluate our true values and beliefs.
The cycle can be likened to the many phases that a seed goes through to develop hence you will read references to growth and harvest etc, once you reach the 9th house/phase, you return to the 1 phase again and so on.
The 9 Star Ki House/Phases for 2013:
1 Water Star - moves into the 1 Water House (North). This is the beginning of the cycle where planning is of key importance. This year is about foundations, the laying of, planning and acquiring knowledge or whatever is needed to take your forward in this new cycle of 9. You need to be patient and self-reflect. The better the planning, the better the rewards over the coming years! This year can often prove frustrating however the Water energy should nourish you along the way.
2 Earth Star - moves into the 2 Mother Earth House. This is also a year of preparation, and nurture, building on the previous years foundation. In theory you are preparing the soil and sowing the seed. It can be a time of stagnation with little or slow growth – a time to plan your strategy for future action.
3 Wood Star - moves into the 3 Dynamic Wood House. The energy of the 3 area (the East) is a very dynamic energy. You should feel very energised and stimulated. It is a great year/phase to start new projects, launch new businesses etc but make sure you are on the right path.
4 Wood Star - moves into the 4 Yielding Wood House. It is another good year for you and one full of energy. This year is about movement or growth but without stability therefore pace yourself well. You will feel positive and enthusiastic, results will come from past efforts. Don’t force things, go with the flow.
5 Earth Star - moves into the 5 Middle Earth House. This year is about ups and downs. It can be unpredictable and exciting. You need to remain centered. This is a powerful house – anything started this year will have greater impact. Try to achieve balance in behaviour. Reflect, assess, accept and plan.
6 Metal Star - moves into the 6 Metal House. This phase is also about wealth and prosperity too. You need to maintain your purpose and goal. It is a phase where things will move forward and you will feel a sense of timing and control. Take care not to impose your beliefs on others or become too bossy but enjoy being assertive!
7 Metal Star - moves into the 7 Metal House. This is a time for harvest and celebration. A time to reap rewards from working the crop. You can to relax and socialise in this phase and enjoy the energy of the 7 Metal house. This is a good phase or time in which to develop your spiritual nature. You should enjoy good energy and stamina. Enjoy but remain balanced.
8 Mountain Earth Star - moves into the 8 Mountain Earth House. This can be both a time of change or stillness and stagnation. A bit like the calm before the storm as sudden and unexpected change can occur. You might feel frustrated because you want progression but you need to be calm and still and look for honest introspection. Don’t allow yourself to be too stubborn or pushy or too reserved. Don’t hide in your cave.
9 Fire Star - moves into the 9 Fire House. The energy of this phase is about fame, illumination and recognition. It is a year in which you can achieve and feel rewarded. A year in which you can shine brightly but be careful that the energy you seek/attract is all positive and that you are not in the limelight for the wrong reasons. It is a good year to see promotion within your career. Be positive and make good use of this time.
Happy New Year, energetically speaking!
