2015

THE YEAR OF THE SHEEP (GOAT)

4177000

The tranquil sheep brings Yin energy to 2015 for a year characterized by peace and harmony. According to Astrologers,  nurturing goodness and trust in one another will mend relationships and heal nations. Albeit, wise compromise will bring success and happiness. Also a symbol of creativity and healing, it is beneficial to focus on matters of the heart, restoring self and others. A year where goodwill unites us and triumphs over evil. This continuous flow of compassion will extend outward in an atmosphere of calm and happiness. So, it almost goes with out saying, have a prosperous and Happy Chinese New Year!
