Happy New Year - Year of the Ox

Chinese Lunar New year is upon us!

It falls on Friday, February 12th and we are moving into a year of the metal ox. This is a time to honor the members of our household as well as our extended friends and family as we wish them much hope and prosperity during the coming year.

The ox is the second animal of the Chinese zodiac in a sequence of twelve. The Ox symbolizes the hard work, positivity, and honesty that will be manifested in all of us in the coming 12 months, while the metal element speaks to the toughness and endurance that we will continue to show this coming year.

The lucky colors for the year of the ox are white, yellow, and green, but remember to wear red this coming Friday, February 12th to attract good fortune. The lucky numbers this year are 1 and 4 and auspicious directions are to the north and the south.

We have many hopes for this year, most of all to bring wellness to as many beings as possible.

Let's let this year be a year of renewal for all humankind.

Fondly,

Christina Trieste, L.Ac., MAOM
