New Year, Two Year

Hello there! Hard to believe, but we've had two new years since I last posted. January 1 ushered in 2023, of course, and January 22 began the first day of the Lunar New Year celebration. I'm all for it and say two fresh starts are better than one.

It's kind of fun to look at the astrological predictions for the coming year, though I always take them with a grain of salt. 

According to the people who interpret the movements of the planets, Leos can look forward to a transformational year of good fortune, good health, and inner peace. 

But success doesn't happen on its own, and Leos should set ambitious goals, work hard, embrace challenges, and seek out opportunities. We should also eat a balanced diet, exercise, engage in fun hobbies, and connect with our romantic partners.

(Okay, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and point out that this is all good advice for anyone of any astrological sign during any year.)

In the Chinese calendar, 2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit. My horoscope animal is the horse, and this year may bring new opportunities for collaboration with important people and a deepening of family relationships. Horses will feel energetic and optimistic and enjoy prosperity and progress. Horses are also advised to eat healthy, exercise, engage in self-care, and control our spending.

Again, good advice for everyone.

Whatever your astrological sign, birth year, mother's maiden name, or peanut butter preference (smooth or chunky), I wish you all the best in 2023. I have plenty of projects to work on this year, and hopefully I can take advantage of my 2023 lion/horse energy and accomplish a few things.

See you soon!

 

Happy Lunar New Year from my tiny garden!
