Bring On The Fire!
Welcome 2024, I’ve been waiting for you!
In February we will be moving from 20 years of EARTH energy into 20 years of FIRE energy. It’s time to heat things up, as well as speed things up, and at times this is going to feel like A WHOLE LOT!
What energies can we anticipate ushering in over the next 20 years (2024-2043)? Well, first let’s go over the 20-year energy that is exiting. Earth Energy (represented by the image of a mountain) is solid, stable, grounding, hardworking. During earth energy we typically see a rise in young men, it’s a time to learn a skill and work for a company, and climb the corporate ladder type of energy. Real estate also does well during earth energy (we certainly saw that).
Now let’s think of fire in its raw form. It’s hot, it’s bright, it’s vivid, it’s fast (oh so fast) and it’s passionate. Ok you get the picture, now that is the ENERGY, we will be feel building for the next 20 years (many have been feeling it already, and it’s been already playing out in the world). So, we should not be surprised that we will see rapid changes, increased visibility, a rise in fame, power and innovation. It’s a time for the rise in middle aged woman, technology, news and social media, AI, film, beauty and healing industries.
We may also see a major shift in thinking from profit/wealth to purpose, controlling to empowering. As fire energy is unstable there could be a need to build more than 1 stream of income. This energy involves collaboration, resilience, empathy and courage. The energy also suggests learning to become comfortable with the unknown (that’s going to be a biggy for lots of people).
So, what can you do to prepare for the next wave of energy? Make sure you take what you have learned from the earth energy over the last 20 years. Bring the grounding, introspective, stable and steady energy with you as you move into fire energy, so that you can find your center when you need to. As always declutter, organize your home and your mind, heal what needs to be healed, and think about what you want to achieve in this new period in all 9 baguas of your life. Perhaps if called make a vision board to keep those images front and center during the year.
Most of all work on being comfortable with what appears on your life’s horizon moving forward. Fire is swift and passionate. I don’t think it’s a coincidence, that just this week I was called to resume my yoga practice, which I had discarded years ago. Yoga asks you to be present in your body and grounded. It’s a perfect accompaniment to unpredictability.
What practice (yoga, walking, meditating, gardening. dancing) can you bring with you into the fire energy period so that you can come back to your own center when you need to?
Don’t FEAR the new energy coming in, welcome it! Light a candle by your front entrance, open your front door and give it a warm welcome. It’s here to stay for the next 20 years so we might as well become friendly and intimate with it.
Happy New Year!
