Speaker 1:

Have you ever wondered who is the fairest of them all when you look in the mirror? Is it you or is it someone else looking back at you? Well, december 2024 is the perfect time to look in the mirror and actually see what is there and understand that what you want can be, once you accept what you see. Oh my, how cryptic I am. Hey, you know what this is. This is our forecast for December 2024 and it's time to dive in.

Speaker 1:

I just want to give people a place to go to get information. I want them to enjoy learning about Qi and how it's easy to learn about it and affect change in your own life. So Qi Pro is here for the curious seekers and for the professionals looking to get ahead. It's the bottom line. I want to empower people with information, because the one thing that can't be taken from you is your knowledge. And there we have it, folks. My favorite saying the one thing that cannot be taken away from you is your knowledge. You always owe it to yourself to know everything you can.

Speaker 1:

So, on that note, let's have a chat, because this is December 2024 and it's something called Bing Zhe. Bing is yang fire, zhe is rat. So, right off the bat. These two are polar opposites. Okay, rat, is yin water still very strong, even though it's yin and yang? Fire from the bing is just the biggest fire you can get. So they really are opposites and yet they have a very special transformative relationship. So such bing yang fire atop a gentle yin water gives us an opportunity to see ourselves in a new way. It's kind of like looking in a mirror. It's like the sun looking down on the ocean, and the ocean is very calm because it's yin water, it's not the ferocious yang, and the sun can see its reflection and take a moment to consider what it sees. And that's where we are Now throw in that Mercury retrograde literally just finished.

Speaker 1:

We're running up to the Christmas season or holiday season, whichever holiday you celebrate, and you're sort of probably thinking, sammy, you've lost your marbles. It's not calm, it's not quiet, it's bloody crazy. I know that, I know that, but the underlying current, the underlying energy, actually has something to offer. So what I want to sort of say is that what December is going to reveal is quite interesting, because what it will reveal is you. If you've been hiding something, your hiding spot has been found. If you've been avoiding something, the elephant is most definitely in the room, and if you've been dreaming of something, now is your time to action said dream.

Speaker 1:

In many ways, the opposition in the month is exactly what you need to succeed. Even though you may not recognize it at first, you need to let the whole month unfold. Now, if I consider what your best actions are for the month because I always like to give a few tips out here I would say I've got four things for you, four words. Actually. What are your best actions? I would say truth, trust, faith, belief. We're transitioning into a new year very soon.

Speaker 1:

2025 snake is advancing, already has a fang in the door, so to speak, and she's got a story to tell. Here's the thing. You got a story to tell. Here's the thing. You have a story to tell. Be clear with what you want, because if you waffle, the snake will begin to spin an elaborate tale that can take you off task effortlessly. In fact, she'll do it so well you won't even notice until it's too late.

Speaker 1:

What I'm trying to share here is that 2025 is very, very different from 2024. And yes, I'm aware that every year I explain how each year is different, but these two really are. The dragon was very still is destructive powerful, power-seeking. All about leadership, change, taking the you know, taking the road less traveled, taking a leap of faith like really just diving in and doing stuff. Snake has a different path. Snake is lower to the ground, sometimes out of sight. Careful, calculative watches, and that forked tongue of the snake that could be hiding, you know, with those venomous fangs, is also a story, a way to tell story, in two ways is what I want to say. So this split tongue I love this of the snake. It has an ability to be a storyteller and 2025 will be your year to tell your story.

Speaker 1:

Now, if you haven't made changes this year, if you kind of, if you kind of hid, if you laid low and you were maybe too afraid to make changes, I do understand that. Here's the problem. This was the year of change. Nothing could stay the same this year. Now you've got a couple of months left. So if you have been waffling, if you've been sitting there thinking, well, I was going to do that, I was going to do this, and X, y, z and blah, blah, blah, stop talking about it and start doing it. You've still got a couple of months to break things up, shake things up and be ready to walk differently next year and tell your story. And it's not about telling a tale, it's not about tackling, it's not about speaking out. It's more about sharing who you are and what you want from this life. That's what the snake's going to bring forward for you. So it's not too late to do that.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and if I think of it, I just saw a great movie the other night with my daughter and I absolutely love this movie. It's the Polar Express. I mean, it's just so brilliant in so many ways. But as the beautiful theme music was playing, I think at the beginning and at the end and through the movie, it's that haunting song by Josh Groban. I think it's the Believe song and it just hit the core.

Speaker 1:

And what I want to say is that I need you to believe. I need you to believe in yourself. Okay, this is what 2025 is going to do for you. It's going to help you believe, but if you don't believe in yourself, the snake is going to actually wreak havoc in your life. So this is not a year. It's never a year to not be honest with yourself, but really, this is a chance to actually say you know what I've always wanted to do X, or I don't want to do this anymore, I want to do it differently, or this isn't working for me Doesn't mean you run away from it. It means you switch it up what does work for you. Just be honest and communicate with other people around you, and you'll be surprised how easy it is to get where you want to go if you start telling your story. I ask you to believe in yourself like never before. What do you know to be true about yourself? Stay with that and don't let anyone or anything take you off your own centre.

Speaker 1:

Now, if there's things to do this month of December, there's all the things to avoid. What would they be? Well, avoiding the nature of what you see, see? There's all the things to avoid. What would they be? Well, avoiding the nature of what you see, see? Here's the thing. If you get an opportunity like this to see things ahead, to look in the mirror and see yourself, it's not all going to be pretty okay, because it's not a Disney movie. We don't live life like that. So you need to actually look at what you see and accept it, embrace it and even love it.

Speaker 1:

None of us are perfect. None of us get it all right all the time. It's always a bit of a gamble, it's always a bit of a gong show sometimes and we do the best we can with the information we have at the time that we're making decisions. So do be kind to yourself and understand that everything you see about yourself is you. You're not bad. If you see something that you're not so keen on, well that's fine.

Speaker 1:

You can look and say you know what I don't really like, how I jump to conclusions sometimes on things. I'm going to work on that. You see, I actually did that today. I was coming home from a job site and I was mulling around in my mind I didn't like something about myself and I realized, okay, separate it, it's not that I don't like myself. I didn't like something I'd done and what I had done. I was kind of jumping to conclusions and making some assumptions about something and they were probably wrong. I mean, some might be right. But I realized, reminded myself actually to break it down, to backtrack and think, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on, sam. What are you noticing? That's not right. It's not the person, it's the process. So find a solution right, don't focus on the negative. And I sort of caught myself, and I'm pleased I caught myself, and I want to encourage you to do the same, because it can be easy to point a finger, to make a judgment call and to go down the negative side of things, because it's just easier sometimes to do that. Don't do that. Find a solution, look at things and find ways forward, because the snake of 2025 is here to help you tell a story. So be generous with that and help people with their story.

Speaker 1:

Okay, some glimpses of what you're going to see are fun, some not so much. Right Now, if you think about it, we just came out of November and, if you remember, I talked about November being a Snapchat for 2025. And it really was. Everything that occurred in November for you literally occurred for you, but everything that occurred in November for you was a Snapchat, a snapshot, if you like, of what 2025 will be Good and bad. So you've got to look at it all. So I really paid attention and I watched myself and I watched what was occurring around me, what was occurring for me, what I liked, what I didn't like, and I realized, okay, this stuff is coming and a few of the things I didn't really like seeing that they're coming, but now I know, so I can prepare and I can be ready, and I can also downgrade the severity of what they are because I know they're coming, so I can prepare.

Speaker 1:

Preparation is always key. Knowledge right Knowledge is everything. So, whatever you saw, it's here to stay and it will gradually unfold before your very eyes through the year of 2025. So I need you to be honest with yourself and tap into the surging energy of December's move toward 2025, as the shift is underway. We're not transitioning yet, but the shift is underway, or I should say we're not transitioned, but we are transitioning beginning. It's all starting to ripple in.

Speaker 1:

So remember, be kind to yourself, as emotions will rise this month, likely with some fear swirling at your feet, and you may want to hit the snooze button a few times. Nope, add an extra shot of espresso this month to that gingerbread latte of yours and keep those eyes of yours wide open and need you to see what's coming, not because it's bad. I need you to see what's coming, not because it's bad. I want you to understand the big picture. It's going to be good and you can catch up on your sleep in January. January is ox month. It's a whole different ballgame. It's going to allow you to actually slow down and hunker down. This is different. Okay, november and December are different.

Speaker 1:

Now, as I mentioned, mercury retrograde is basically on its way out. It's still lingering a little bit, so you're still gonna see. Communication is not so great and you may find yourself being dragged backwards and it could encourage doubt and unease and that fear word. So remember, use Mercury retrograde to clear the past so you can move into the future. It's not negative karma that many believe. Mercury retrograde is an amazing moment in time to heal from past wounds and attain personal growth. Lean into Mercury retrograde Every time it comes. I say lean into it. Yes, I would avoid buying electronics. I just don't. I just you know why. Take the chance Because they often become lemons. Otherwise, lean into the energy that is going backwards and allow yourself to go backwards and reminisce.

Speaker 1:

Okay, now we have the basics outlined of the month, let's move into feng shui and highlight areas in your home for favorable outcomes. So remember, if you don't have a Feng Shui natal chart of your home, if I haven't worked on your home, this is generic. What we're talking about here is kind of for everyone. When I do personal consults, I actually have your chart. It's very different, but what I'm talking to here is still very, very important and very useful. So the most important takeaway when I speak to the feng shui aspect each month is to understand. The monthly feng shui is like Wi-Fi, so you just know how to learn, how to tap into the Wi-Fi when is it strongest, when is its weakest, you know, and just spend time where it's good, less time where it's not so good. And this monthly Wi-Fi does move all the time.

Speaker 1:

Okay, now the Southwest is the first area. That's quite beneficial because it has an energy that's going to put the spotlight on you. So it's doubly great if this is your Chiman Palace and there's a calculator on my site to work out what your Chiman Palace is. So do check that out, because and I say that because the Southwest is one of my palaces for something and I'm like, yes, this is going to be good. However, spotlights come with pressure, because when the spotlight's on you, everybody can see you. So it's also it's good, but it's also pressure, so be careful with that. Now, this area, the Southwest, is all about success, achievements and being seen for what you do, so it's kind of recognition in there as well. It's very good, I like it.

Speaker 1:

Now, another area that's great this month of December is the north. Why I like this is because it has a cumulative energy here. Whatever you initiate from this location has long term benefits for success and financial growth. So culminating energy is very different from birthing energy. So sometimes we'll have an energy where I'll say, oh, it's the perfect time to begin a business or to begin something, because it's just this germinating energy. That's not what this is. This month the North holds culminating. It's finishing, it's finalizing. It may still have some bits to do, but it's coming together. So it's very different. So I like those two southwest and north.

Speaker 1:

Now, problematic areas in December. Okay, I'm going to give you two. The west is problematic for the head, so it can result in headaches or issues with the masses pushing back on the leader. Okay, Because the head also means the leadership, head of an organization. So this is an area where, if you've got to have important discussions with personnel and your office is in the West, go for a walk, go to the coffee shop, go somewhere else and have the conversation, because you'll end up butting heads and more importantly or I should say, not importantly what's worse is, they will butt heads, pushing back on you if you're the leader, if the roles are reversed and you're not the leader and you're going in to have a conversation, watch yourself, because you might be pushing back on something that doesn't actually matter but maybe you think it does, but it doesn't. It's the energy taking you off track.

Speaker 1:

Now the next area is the northwest. This is a tricky area for women with any history of lumps, because blockages can be here and things can expand and grow, and some could be harmful. Now, before you panic, we keep this in perspective. Where this activates is if this also happens to align with something in your BATSA chart a negative occurrence in your B Barca chart, a negative occurrence in your Barca chart and then, if you're a little bit under the weather or you've got a history and you're sleeping in the Northwest, well, basically, the cards are lining up and they're kind of stacked against you. So you know this ahead of time. Maybe you don't go in the Northwest bedroom for a while. You have a checkup. You make sure that what you're feeling is just a cyst or just a spot or something, and it's not a big deal. Again, information Now.

Speaker 1:

What I will say, though, is avoid this area. If you are pregnant or immune, compromised, it's just a tough area for anyone that's weakened in any way. Not to say that pregnant women are weak they're not but there can be complications and we just don't need that. So just avoid it, okay. So remember, you may not be able to avoid an area or even use an area that I speak to. You just give it your best shot and don't worry if it doesn't work out for you, because, guess what, 30 days from now, we'll have another area to use. So it's all good. This is just where we are right now.

Speaker 1:

Right, let's dive into astrology, because you know I love astrology. It's one of my favorite areas and I'm going to talk about the four animals in your birth chart. Now, if you don't have your birth chart, go to cheaprosamcom and you'll use our calculator and you're going to find and take a picture or a screen grab of the chart once you enter your birth date. And what I'm looking for here isn't your day master. That's something else that I've put on YouTube to do with forecasts for day masters. This is to do with the animals. We call them branches, so this is where you would be born year of the horse, or you know, month of the snake and day of the dragon and hour of the goat or something right? You could have up to four animals. Some of the animals could duplicate, so you may only have two or three, but anyway, get those animals.

Speaker 1:

Now let's dive in. So the first one up is do you have a horse in your birth chart? If you do, it's interesting because the horse is clashed this December. The rat and the horse clash. They're direct opposites. They're fire and water, just like the month itself. So we know we got something happening here. But you also know how I feel about clashes. I like them. They can occasionally bring in some tough bits because, again, if they align with something happening in your Barca chart, something negative in your Feng Shui of your home, yeah, it's a bit tricky, but ultimately, for me, what I've noticed is clashes create change. So if you want to change something, this is your month. Now. Keep in mind, though you may not like the change at first, trust me, hear me now, believe me later, lean into the change. Remember if nothing changes, nothing changes.

Speaker 1:

Now I want to give you an insight here, because I am born year of the horse. So I'm approaching this and it's a few days into December, because I'm a little bit late recording this, so sorry. And I am experiencing this clash and part of me wanted to run full force, head into it and just do something rather rebellious. And then I paused because I thought, oh, hang on, am I just being encouraged by the energy or is this the right move? Now I'm still undecided, but I'm allowing change to occur around me and I'm just letting it swirl around me. I haven't actually committed to something right now because I'm like I'm going to just sit on this for a bit. I'm not sure if I want this change, if this change is good for me, but I've also not said I don't like this change. This change is bad for me because I don't know. I'm just letting it sit, but I'm open to it and I'm sort of saying never say never. All right, I'm going to go with it and I encourage you to do the same.

Speaker 1:

Now you could have a horse in your hour, your day, your month or your year, and it will mean different things in different places. So, for example, because I gave you the example of me, the horse is in my year. This is to do with my standing in the global community, amongst my peers, my mentors or powerful people, corporate setting, all those kinds of things. It's kind of to do with work, it's not really personal and it's interesting, it's creating change and I'm kind of like, all right, bring it, I'm game, I'm totally game and that's what I encourage you to do as well. Right, let's move in.

Speaker 1:

Do you have a goat in your birth chart? This one has a word that people don't like, and I've got this animal in my chart as well and I'm like, oh for the love of God. So I'm two for two at this point. Do you have a goat? Because the goat is harmed this December. Now, harm Interesting? We think, oh my God, that's a terrible word and I will say that predominantly, it doesn't have a positive. It's not like a clash can bring wonderful change, it can open up doors, it can do so many things, but a harm often means we harm ourselves. So, because I know I have this and I know I have the horse with the clash, I'm just trying to give you a picture of how you do this.

Speaker 1:

I know to be careful with not running into the change, not fighting the change, not being too rebellious because I could be my own problem. It's not a self-penalty, but I could harm myself by not being mindful and not being aware. So I am keeping my emotions in check because this one's important. You've got to keep your emotions in check on this, and I'm taking time to centre myself and focus on my needs, and I encourage you to do the same Focus on what you need and what works for you. This also aligns with the snake, okay, because the goat and the snake they're two of the same season. They do get along. So just think about what it is you want. It ties in with that whole time to tell your story.

Speaker 1:

So take this time to slow it down just a little and be cautious of it overextending yourself. It's not the month to do that, which I know. It's tricky. It's Christmas. You're running around or celebrating whatever festive season that you would love to celebrate. I get it, but slow it down a bit, don't overextend yourself. It won't be worth it for you. You're the one that will pay the price. I'm the one that will pay the price.

Speaker 1:

Okay, moving on, do you have a rabbit in your birth chart? I'm glad I don't have this one, but if you have a rabbit in your birth chart, this is a penalty in December. So this one's referred to as an uncivilized punishment. So this one won't seem fair and it likely isn't. So you need to seek help this month and layer in trusted advisors on all big decisions. It's the only way you'll avoid being caught in something that isn't productive or beneficial for you.

Speaker 1:

So I can't really sugarcoat this. It's not positive. This is a month where you will feel something's happened and it wasn't your fault. It's not fair and there'll be all sorts of reasons. I want you to be careful pointing the finger out. It's not that I want to turn it in and say you're to blame. It's not that this is not a self penalty. This is an uncivilized punishment. They are different, but the fact is it's in play. So fairness won't matter. So you can't really fight it.

Speaker 1:

Just extricate yourself as best you can, or at least get out of the month of December. It might be a little bit better after, but it's not going to work in your favor right now. All right, Do you have a rooster in your birth chart? Okay, well, a rooster is quite destructive with the rat this December. Sometimes, what I notice with this because this is often about habits when these two get together, we can have addictive issues Alcohol is probably the one I'm going to put on the table first can become problematic. So if that is a weakness for you, if that's something that's a little lower for you, just be careful this month. Ok, don't overdo it. Be aware of what your intake is and be reasonable. Have fun, absolutely have fun. Just be careful, all right, because it could cause some destructive moments in your life and, yes, they'll pass. It's only one month, but you can do a lot of damage with this one, so be careful.

Speaker 1:

Some will say that you can destroy something when you have a destruction in play and you can rebuild it better. I love that positive thinking and you know me, I'm all for positive thinking. I sit on the fence. I think it goes both ways this month. So just be careful with that, okay. Now our last one is do you have an ox in your birth chart? Well, if you do, it's a combination with the rat this December. Whenever we have a combination, it's just like secret buddies, best friends, so it helps you get things.

Speaker 1:

This is a month where, if you're having any problems, say you've got some of the other animals in your chart, well, pull in your friends, ok, because they're going to help you get through a challenge that you may face this month. If you've got other animals, if you don't have any of the animals I've talked about, you've just got things on your side this month. This is good. So lean in, have fun, network, go out, party, you know, enjoy it all. All right, those that's the astrology part those are the animals that are on the hot seat, so to speak, and I want to close off with reminding you how you can be successful this December month. So, in a nutshell, what I'll say is quite simple Do as I say and you'll be a-okay. I know, I know I'm cheeky, but this is why you love me, right. Okay, I know I know I'm cheeky, but this is why you love me, right? But it's true, do as I say.

Speaker 1:

Go back and listen to this podcast again and follow my words. I share this with you to give you insight each month to help you. I use it in my daily life. All the time I look at my astrology Well, not all the time I look at it, but every month I look at it and I plan ahead. So I know this is useful for you and whether you are fully on board with Chinese metaphysics or dabbling in its curiosity. It's creating occurrences for you each and every day.

Speaker 1:

December is neither an evil or an angelic month. It simply is where we are. Learn to lean into where we are in real time, and you'll find your stability and discover your next steps with ease. You see, life really can be simple if you simply let it show you the way. All right? On that note, I am going to bid you farewell and I'm going to enjoy lots of mince pies, some turkey, some incredible vegetarian foods as well, and have a wonderful holiday season. Whatever you're doing, I hope you're with loved ones near and dear and I look forward to speaking with you again very soon. Thank you.
