Dubai: It’s hard to believe another year has passed by! Now, is a good time to take stock of what transpired last year. Observe if you were thinking only in terms of yourself, or also about how your actions could have benefited others? When we focus exclusively on the self, our thoughts are deluded. Let 2015 not be a year that revolves only around your ego.
The green Sheep (Wei) year has a calm Yin energy and symbolises peace, harmonious co-existence and creativity. Though there will be cries for war, they will be averted and a period of healing and compromise will commence to ensure peace is maintained.
The emphasis will be on unifying forces in order to fight the vice and destruction that has been brewing for so long. With the planet Saturn in the sign Scorpio and planet Pluto in its long stay in the sign Capricorn, there will be greater emphasis on structure and insight on finding resolutions to problems that have been plaguing the world for the longest time. People and powers globally, will recognize that balance and growth of international economy and social harmony, is in peace.
The aura of the Sheep year will gradually radiate all over. 2015 is a year to use mental strength over brute force. For those who wish to be antagonistic, expect to be out-maneuvered by goodness, strategy and common sense.
