Later in the month, it will be best to make peace with the people around you.

Wealth energy is still upbeat, so there is no major financial concern.

10 Things you love about yourself!

It is that time of the year where not much is happening, I mean the major festivals are out of the way. Of course we have the next chinese festival which is Ching Ming however that is not such a Ra-Ra Festival but not to forget we also have Easter before that. I do like Easter though I prefer to be in a European city for that, perhaps next year.

Recently  I asked some people  “What are the 10 things you love about yourself?” The answers were a few blank looks, short laughs and the most common answer was ” Let me think about it and let you know?” I said “No, I like the answers now.” so then we go through a whole sessions of Qs & As and at the end of that, they walk away happily with a piece of 10 things they loved about themselves.

I find this exercise very wholesome and therefore like to ask it again:

What are the 10 things you love about yourself?

Write them down on a sheet of paper, read it again, keep it for a few weeks and read it again. If you feel a need to change some of it, by all means do so!

Wishing one and all a perfect time ahead

Qin Zhe and the White Tiger Festival

March 6

We have now enter  the season of Qin Zhe, one of the 24 seasons mentioned in the Chinese Almanac or the Farmers’ Calendar.  Qin Zhe marks the awakening of all animals in hibernation and the main festival during this season is the White Tiger Festival.Chinese Legend has it that the White Tiger festival evolves from the time when villages in ancient China were being attacked by wild tigers which, after long harsh winters, were known to prowl the villages for food.  It was customary to perform prayer ceremonies for protection for their village against these potential attacks. Offerings of food, especially pork and duck eggs were most welcome: the idea was to feed the hungry wild tigers to prevent them from attacking the villages.
As time passed, this tradition became a festival in which one could gain protection against vile and ferocious people in your life and surroundings. The twist in this legend is that the Tiger somehow became the object of worship in this festival, known as the Tiger Deity.
Today, similarly to the original tradition, pork and eggs are used in offerings by those seeking blessings and protection from ferocious people, known as “little people” in the Chinese language. This lunar year, the festival falls on March 6 and the season begins at 00:48
