2017 - The Year of The Fire Rooster

This week we celebrate Chinese New Year.
2017 is the year of the flamboyant Fire Rooster which means it's show time all year long!

Just as we were congratulating ourselves for surviving 2016 with all the Fire Monkey's shenanigans, we come to find out the wild rumpus is just getting started. Like Chanticleer in the story by Chaucer, who thought it was his crow that made the sun rise, The Fire Rooster year dominates center stage with brash over-confident characters in love with the sound of their own voices. Make way for parades and displays, arrogant leaders and lots of cheering fans and angry protesters!

We see the Chinese symbolism backed up by Western astrology when we note that Mars, the fighter and take action planet, has just entered his empowering sign Aries. Fast and brash, he's full speed ahead and unstoppable until mid-March. On a national level we see Mars happening as our new president signs one executive order after another even though - like Chanticleer crowing for the Sun - he doesn't have the power to back up his demands.

On a personal level this planet, along with the firey rooster, is emboldening people to do things they wouldn't have dare considered even a year ago. Fun while it lasts, but please add a strong dose of caution to whatever enterprises you are launching now. Know your facts and get the details. Luck runs out for those who try to get by on bluster and show. By the end of the year we're going to all be demanding reality checks.

There are two tricky events coming up this week that need careful navigating:

Venus will change signs from compassionate accepting Pisces where she begged for universal patience and understanding, to Aries on February 5, which is warrior country and it's No More Misses Nice Gal time. Venus in Aries signifies putting one's own interests first. Will that mean enlightened self interest where we recognize that our success depends on the success of others? Or will we demand everything be done our way regardless of the devastation it brings the next guy? Surely this is the time to remind ourselves "What goes around comes around"!

Also happening on February 5, Jupiter will be turning retrograde in Libra. Jupiter represents seeing the world so Jupiter retrograde could portend a pullback or restriction on travel. In Libra, the sign ruling courts, Jupiter could indicate court battles over immigration policies, which we are already starting to see this weekend with Trump's signing a ban on allowing people from certain countries to enter the U.S. Expect  more court battles to follow.

Together these four events - the beginning of the year of The Fire Rooster, Venus and Mars into Aries, and Jupiter retrograde in Libra - set the scene for outrageous shows of nationalism full of sound and fury but will they signifying something or nothing?

Better load up on popcorn,
