The Year of the Water Rabbit
Insights and Reflections Inspired by the Turning of the Year
There is a great turning of the year and it holds gifts for you.
Each new year is a turning of the great wheel of time - every year is a renewing and repeating of the natural cycles. It is All that Is, our planet, Heaven and Earth churning forth new days, new years, new worlds.
The turning of the year brings forth gifts for you.
Each new year starts with an opportunity to remember - remember that change is happening - within you - and all around you.
I invite you to take a moment with me, in gratitude and reflection in order to receive the gifts and benefit from this opportune moment.

Take time to receive.

The way I approach this material is more like a cognitive exercise or a therapy session, as opposed to regurgitating generic astrological patterns at you.
Each person contains all zodiac aspects within them, to varying degrees. Chinese astrology has many different systems which assign different astrological signs/symbols to various dimensions of self.
I won't be giving you a reading of one superficial layer of your rich and complex sense of self. I will give you a deep sense of what they year is highlighting within our inner world of symbols and meaning and how that connects to natural cycles.
My wish is that hearing and reflecting on this material through the lens of the symbolic imagery of calendrical cycles opens opportunities and insights that are useful in your life.
I offer it as a collaborative and shared internal reflection session to reveal connections and work through internal experiences of the outer world.
It is an exercise in bringing forth clarity so you may act with confidence and create more freely.
In reading and experiencing my interpretation of the Water Rabbit, you will reflect on the cycles of our external world in such a way to bring about self transformation and self-realization.
By doing this inner work, you are also bringing about trans-personal realization. You are connecting deeply with a symbolic network that connects us with each other and the world around us.

Testimonial:
"Michael’s approach is highly academic and he provides me with an extensive report in each session for us to review together. This single feature is very unique to any of my other personal experiences with astrology and in that sense I have never encountered an astrologer who dedicated so much time and effort to their craft.
The Pole Star system he practices has been invaluable to cultivating my relationship to the world and I consult Michael at the beginning of every Chinese New Year to glean wisdom from his interpretation of the years’ coming astrological influences. I have gained so much from working with Michael that I am now sending my patients to work with him so we may incorporate their astral readings in the development of their wellness plans."
