Shambhala Day
February 4, 2016
Shambhala Day is the celebration of Losar, the Tibetan New Year. This year it is coming up on the new moon February 9th, ushering in a year of the Fire Monkey.
According to Tibetan Astrology by Phillipe Cornu, a Monkey year is “extremely rich and holds many surprises—anything can happen. This is a year in which one must be cunning and seize new initiatives. All opportunities are open and one should be flexible enough to take advantage of them. This is a year of daring progress, not for the slow or timid.”
The fire element adds to that rather exciting stew: “Fire transmits a vital, brilliant, and transforming energy and enhances expression, extroversion, and the ability to make decisions.”
Happy New Year!
