Speaker 1:

Well, hello there. I'm Chief Rose Sam, your favorite Chinese astrologer, and I'm here to give you the inside track on how you succeed this February using your date of birth yes, a really key ingredient to you. You see, chinese astrology is a system of understanding how you are affected through time, using the day of your birth as the central component in a reading. This is all about your identity, of who you are, and we layer in the year, the month and the hour to define everything about you. Where Western astrology uses 12 months to give an overview reading, chinese astrology is quite different. We focus on the day of your birth. Okay, so everything's important in your birth date, in your birth chart, but we focus on the day, and it's something known as the day master. Now there are 10 day masters in the Chinese astrology system and they're actually profiles derived from the five elements and the yin and yang of each, so it turns into 10. That's very complex information hidden inside these day masters. Who knew so much was hidden inside the date of your birth. I actually knew, and if you're new to me and you're new to Chinese astrology, just head on over to cheaprosamcom I've got everything linked below and check the calculator to find out what your day master is and then come right back here and, as your favorite master of Chinese astrology, let's begin with a little overview of what 2025 is, before we dive into the February month and your actual forecast for your day master. I've timestamped each reading so you can jump around and don't forget check your family and friends day master readings as well. It's going to be a plethora of information at your fingertips to know what's going on for everyone.

Speaker 1:

So let's go First of all. What is 2025? Well, it's year of the wood snake, the yin wood snake, and it's called Yi Si. Yi is yin, wood, si is snake. Now you'll hear this pronounced different through different astrologers. It doesn't matter, it's just an accent. So you go with what works for you, and my accent is kind of English and my masters were primarily Mandarin and stuff, so I've got their inflections with me. So what's interesting about 2025? Well, with me. So what's interesting about 2025? Well, this snake is about to bear her fangs. But have no fear, sam is here. Actually, have no fear, because this snake coming in, she's actually very wise, she's gracious, she's smart, okay, and her strike may not be as venomous as you first envision. However, as we go through the year, there will be moments that it is, but we're going to focus on the here and now and learn about where we're at. Okay, so what I will say for the year is that strategy is the name of her game. Okay, she's going to push you and inspire you to be organized.

Speaker 1:

2024 was chaotic. The dragon whenever a dragon comes into play, nothing's ever smooth. Things can be exciting, things can be tumultuous, things can be chaotic and you know they were. And January last month, I felt like I was walking through cement. I actually got sick with the flu. It was just really hard to move ahead, and that's because the years were shifting. The dragon was being pushed out, the snake was coming in. She's now here, but anyway, the chaos of 2024 was necessary. Things had to be broken apart, things had to be destroyed.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to say that 2025 is a complete rebuild year. It's not. But when something's been broken apart and rubble is lying on the ground and the field has been churned, you know the earth has been dug up. That is prime for new growth. Okay, that's where we are this year and it's not that it's for the faint of heart.

Speaker 1:

I'm not going to say oh, you've got to be strong and push through it. You're different. Your day master is you and you will interact with the year specifically and we're going to get into that in a minute but know that this is a growth year and this is a time for change. So don't be afraid. The snake will make you afraid, but that's just her entrance. Sometimes she's all fang and no actual venomous bite. Remember that. I want you to remove fear from your mind. It's so important and I want you to stand in your truth. We have to remember that.

Speaker 1:

I like to give analogies. What I'll say here is a snake knows when to shed its skin. It knows when it's outgrown that skin and it literally shrugs it off and comes out anew. Well, guess what? This is your time to shed that skin, that or that layer that is no longer yours, to wear A burden you've been carrying. No Time to go, time to let it go. Now this is going to be tricky.

Speaker 1:

People often say, well, of course I'll get rid of the old stuff. No, you won't. Habits are hard to break and sometimes we can be a little bit of a martyr and carry a heavy load because we want everyone to see we're carrying a heavy load, and aren't we just marvelous? Well, no, you're not. You're carrying someone else's shit, quite frankly. So get rid of it. This year is the time to come out anew. It's a fresh start. It's not easy, but it's a fresh start, so it's up to you to make the most of that. I want you to consider the snake's forked tongue, the one that people often say can't trust a snake. They've got a forked tongue. They tell lies. I don't see it that way. I see a snake's forked tongue as two ways to say something, two ways to tell a story, a fork in the road.

Speaker 2:

So the real question is in 2025, which way will you go?

Speaker 1:

Okay, so that's a very, very little overview and stay tuned, I will talk more about 2025. But if that is a little overview of 2025, what is February? Well, it's something called Wu Yin. It means Yang Earth Tiger, but the most important thing is that this February month is the first month of 2025. I guess I should have mentioned that before, but we are really in the year.

Speaker 1:

January was not that, it was the changeover. So while the snake prepares her nest for the whole year, she's got a lot to do for a whole year. This month, the tiger pounces, so it's not going to be a month of sitting. Still, we are going to see unexpected challenges. We're going to experience unexpected challenges to authority, to our authority, to authority above us, kind of just everywhere, and challenging systems, processes, and it's basically a confusion. Sorry, confusion is a confusing tactic. It's a strategy between the snake and the tiger.

Speaker 1:

So don't be drawn into the mess, don't be drawn into the fear. Know that they're just. It's like an illusion. There's gonna be like oh, what's that man's over here, while I actually go and take something over here. So use your smarts and just step back and observe. Okay, is I need you to decide? Is this a game, and if it is what is actually occurring around you, because your life is unique, we and if it is what is actually occurring around you, because your life is unique, we're all experiencing this a little differently. And what is actually occurring around you, what is an illusion and what is actually real?

Speaker 1:

This is our Snapchat for 2025. Now, if you're new to me and you're thinking well, she's not on social media, is she on Snapchat? I don't know where CheaproSam is. No, no, I'm not on any social medias. I'm just here on YouTube. But what I mean by the Snapchat is that you are going to get a glimpse this month of February. It's very special. It always occurs. This is no exception. You're going to see your year ahead. You're going to have little Snapchat, little visions, little glimpses of what the year ahead is. So this can be. It's almost like Mercury Retrograde, when things come up from the past. You might get a phone call from someone, you might bump into someone, you might have an idea for something. They're all important.

Speaker 1:

This is the month to journal. If you want to write things down, whether it's journaling by hand, whether it's on a laptop, a phone or whatever, mark down what occurs for you this month what you experience, because it's going to occur through the rest of 2025. These little Snapchats are going to come fast and furious. You might miss them and then they disappear, because that's how it works, but then, over the next 11 months, the Snapchats play out. I know it's so fun actually, but it can be a little intimidating. So just journal, make notes, just pay attention. Please observe what's occurring, decide.

Speaker 1:

One of the biggest things you need to do is to decide whether you're actually going to stand up front and center or whether you're going to be in the back row. Now, neither is right or wrong If you're thinking. Well, of course, I need to be front and center. Sam, who would sit in the back row? Well, there's lots of good reasons to sit in the back row.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes you have to know the timing of when you're to do something, when you should stay quiet, when you should go forward. So I need you to think about that and be clear with what it is you want to do, because this is the preparation for 2025. You're setting the stage for your year, so you need to understand where you want to be on that stage and there are no wrong answers. It's your stage and it's your decision. So think carefully, my friend, and there's no rush on this. You've got the whole month of February to figure this out.

Speaker 1:

Movement when we've got a tiger and a snake in play like this, these are two of what we call the traveling animals. So movement's happening. Now sometimes I look at this and I'm like, oh, is it to do with because we have earth in the tiger? Is it to do with the earth moving? Are we going to have earthquakes? I don't know. There is a disruption to the earth, which is the stability. So myself I was viewing this more about the political realm, the war realm, all those things. It's just going to. Everything's going to get hit pretty hard and we're going to feel a little bit unstabilized and like what the heck is going on? Where are we going? And it's partly a tactic, it's a strategy by the powerful people. They're doing this deliberately, but I can't rule out the earth could move.

Speaker 1:

But it wasn't the first thing that came to mind. I've got to be honest with you. I'm not sure it's just something. So I would say just be aware. If you're in specific areas where things are known to happen, just be aware of your area. But movement is also afoot in a different way of your area, but movement is also afoot in a different way. So, actually, what I wanted to say is movement's afoot in your way of thinking, possibly in your home, quite possibly in your job. You want to make changes, you want to move. I'm not against it, but can you just observe the month a little bit and watch to see what comes your way? Because if you are looking to make a move, your new opportunity is coming and it's going to show itself. It's rather fun actually.

Speaker 1:

Now, what I will say about the snake and the tiger kind of being together this month is they don't ask permission, okay, so there is no warning on anything. They simply do what they want and they take, and they do it fast and swift. So we will see that confusion, we will see that unknown. So you, your job, is to find your stability this month and to be calm. Do not be reactive. Be proactive and remember good God. Sam said this would happen. Sam mentioned it might be a little bit fast and furious. Sam said it was probably a strategy or, you know, an illusion or something. Yes, I did so. Remember that and just stay still and stay calm. Know thyself, know what you want. All right, I suggest we jump into the day masters now, because that's my favorite part of this video.

Speaker 1:

I've got all 10 for you and I'm going to start with the first one, which is jar. Start with the first one, which is jar. Okay, jar. So what's on the hot seat for you? You may not like the opening to this one. You need to pick your battles, because you're not in the driving seat yet. It's my favorite word is yet actually. Because when something isn't going our way, I always say, well, it's not going my way yet actually. Because when something isn't going our way, I always say, well, it's not going my way yet, but it will when the time is right. So I want you to pick your battles.

Speaker 1:

So you're involved in something or you're going to be involved in something and just think you know it's not one of those. Is this the hill I want to die upon? It's not that bad, but it is a case of what do you actually want to win, what exactly is important to you? And if it's not important to you, let it go. Let the other person win it, let the other person have it. It doesn't matter, because I get the sense you're going to feel held back.

Speaker 1:

You may feel stifled in February. So I'm going to say to you, if you're feeling that way, as the month opens, this is early. So, as the month opens, what are you missing? Yeah, you, I'm talking to you and I'm asking you a question what are you missing? Because you're missing something. If you're feeling that way, then you are not seeing the full picture. So, more than any of the 10-day masters, you need to really pay attention to your Snapchats. Pay attention to what's coming in Now. You can't force them, you cannot think them into action. It doesn't work that way. You need to just be open to receive what the universe is going to send you, and it may be unexpected and not what you're thinking. Good, you need shaking up from time to time. I love it for you. I want you to consider a fresh approach. I think you might be a little stayed. Dare I say stale.

Speaker 1:

I said it right. So forget the old and welcome the new. It's the only way. Preparation is key. Now, that's something you're brilliant at, so that's not an issue at all. I want you to build your foundation, which means you're going to gather intel, so you're not just observing actually You're observing and then asking questions, because the only way to get intelligence, to get information, is to actually know what questions to ask. So think about what questions. What battle do you want to pick? What question do you want to ask and put it in play?

Speaker 1:

I do advise you to rally your troops and work in a team. Now, you're not always a team player, but the reason I want the team around you this time is because you're building a foundation and you don't do that alone. So, logically, align with the people that make sense that you can bring in and trust, and know that this month, you might actually be the invisible hand that gets things done. You may not be front and center on the stage yet, but you often are, so it's just a matter of time. So enjoy that fact that you may be behind the scenes a little bit, that you may be pulling some strings and making some maneuvering. It's not a bad place to be. All right, you know what you got to do. I have absolute faith in you. Oh my, you're about to go against the grain, my lovely ye. Well, look at you, go there, rebel with a cause. I do wonder what your cause is. I'm curious, but I think you have one and you want to rally behind it. So I'm going to applaud you and I'm always going to cheer you on because I care about you and know that you have support. So, whatever it is you're doing, you do actually have support and you have resources. You have what it takes. So it's interesting when I see this, when I see resources, support, you know you have what it takes it's kind of like oh, that's a bit of a rah, rah, rah moment, isn't it? And I'm not saying you're going to win everything. So, in case you're running for some massive thing or some job you know I can't guarantee you're going to get it, but you've actually got everything you need to make a really good impression. So this is a really positive swing for you.

Speaker 1:

I want you to believe in your idea Absolutely and believe in yourself. Sometimes you doubt yourself, and this is not the month for that. Join the right organizations. So the key word here is right, it's not organizations or join, it's right. Who can you join, who can you align with that can take you where you want to go, because, remember, we're launching into 2025. Now, right, this is, we're setting our platform, we're building everything we want. So who do you need to align with? What organization can help you get where you need to go? And it's not just a take, take, take from them. If you join the right organization, you're going to give to them as well, you're going to contribute to them. So and I always believe in that, I never believe in just, oh, me, me, me, me, me. What's in it? For me, it's always give without expectations and you will receive. So, absolutely, look around and you probably have an idea the organizations you think could help you. So do some research and start looking into that.

Speaker 1:

I do want you to listen wisely to others, but don't be over-influenced. This is a tough one because, as a Yide master, sometimes you can sway in the wind. You're like a lovely bamboo. You know where your counterpart jar is, this tall, solid tree. A storm comes and can knock that tree over and crack its trunk, tree trunk. You're not like that. You're like bamboo. You can kind of flex and go with things, which is a fabulous attribute. Here's the part that's not so good. You can be swayed by the wind. You can be influenced, and that's okay. If it's a good influence, I love it.

Speaker 1:

We all need to learn from mentors and to gather information. Just trust your inner voice of who you should listen to. Okay, and sometimes who you should listen to defies logic. They might be someone totally accredited, but someone over here resonates with you. Always, go with the resonate, okay. Always, always, always.

Speaker 1:

And are you looking to? You know, there's something like I feel like you're looking to a corporation, some big entity for something. If you are, go ahead and speak to them, don't be afraid. Go and knock on the door, send the email, make the phone call, whatever it is. If you feel that there's something, there's a big entity that you want to reach out to, because you know you can contribute or they can help you, make the call, make the call. Ye, that's all you got to do this February. Oh, there you are, the master tactician of February and, dare I say, 2025. Of course I dare. You know how I feel about you. You're just amazing, but I jest so, truthfully, you actually are the master tactician this month and now that aligns beautifully with the snake.

Speaker 1:

So the snake you have to understand, the snake is. I shouldn't say you have to understand. Please let me explain that the snake is one of the fire season animals. Okay, like it's part of the metal frame, but it's part of the fire season and as such, the fire is strong and you are strong fire. So there is a special sort of connection here, and so you are going to be doing some specialized thinking, some strategy and really putting your mind to work. That mind muscle is going to be on full power and it's good. The snake is here to kind of surge through you a little bit. Now you're going to advance with the snake. Hands down this year. You're going to advance with the snake.

Speaker 1:

Keep your eye on the prize, whatever that prize is to you. But I will say, one of the things that prize is to you is wealth and it's okay. That's a totally, totally great price to have and it's one of the prizes you have in your mind's eye. So, yes, it's big. So, if it's an idea you're putting together, if you're mapping out what you want your year, you're doing a business plan. You're doing a personal plan. Whatever it is you're doing, I think wealth should be part of it, and it looks like the potentials are there and they're big, they're not small. So it's kind of one of those go big or go home moments. So have fun with that. Have fun with that. Let me know how it goes Now.

Speaker 1:

You will be working behind the scenes Now. This is appearing for a few day, masters, it's not just you, and that's because it's February month. It's a Snapchat and month it's a Snapchat, and the snake is just she's getting her nest ready. So we're often in this time, you know, behind the scenes a little bit, and it's good because it might make you rethink your strategy. So I believe what's going to happen is your strategy at the beginning of the month, or maybe from January. It's probably going to change in February. Don't fight it. It's meant to happen. It's good changes. Bring those. Oh no, this one was interesting, this whole strategy thing.

Speaker 1:

What I uncovered was that there could be some people around you that have not been working to your code of conduct, process, alignment, whatever word you want to use. Bring them to task. Okay, if they have undermined you in some way, bring it up. Don't brush it under the carpet. Maintain boundaries. Be fair, of course, always be fair, but bring them to task and realign their way of thinking. Otherwise, recognize they could be the snake in the grass for 2025. Not positive, sorry, I'm going to call it as I see it. I want you to create. So, on a positive note, I'm going to leave that behind. You figure out who those people are.

Speaker 1:

I'd like you to create space for journaling, and this is because you're this big, strong, big fire, okay, and we've got this fire coming in with a snake sort of hidden in there, and it's important you get your emotions out. So, whether it's journaling by hand, which they say is the best kind rather than typing on a computer, but just get your emotions out. It could also be art, it could be a craft, it could be knitting, it could be any number of things that get things out of you. I want you to create space for that, please, and it might be something totally different from what you do in your day job. It's like, totally different probably surprises other people. Good, your spiritual side beckons.

Speaker 1:

I'm not sure how much you listen to your spiritual side, and that doesn't necessarily mean religious side. It means something different for everyone. So whatever works for you, but I want you to listen wisely and calmly. Or so much, not so much calmly, but calm the excessive chatter that may come through in your mind. So this is tricky, because I've asked you to journal. I've told you to bring people to task if they're not working to your vision. And yet here I am saying, oh, but be calm and be careful with the excessive chatter.

Speaker 1:

So this is the spiritual part. You cannot understand what's going on in your mind if it's firing on all cylinders. A spiritual path of your choosing will help you slow your mind down and clear your mind and remove the excess chatter. So you know what's actually important, because all of us always have the answers within. We just don't unearth them or we block them, and every day master is different about what they do. You do trust yourself and this month I do want you to lean into that even more. This is a time of guidance from a higher realm. So you don't have all the answers right now, but I have no fear, no worries for you, because the guidance that is meant for you is coming. So it's all good. So if you can spend time in some spiritual locations again that is meant for you is coming, so it's all good.

Speaker 1:

So if you can spend time in some spiritual locations, again, that is up to you. What that is, it could be your favorite bench on the beach, it could be a church, it could be a monument of some kind, it could be a cemetery. Whatever speaks to you, that speaks to your soul, is where I ask you to spend some time this month. Draw your tribe close, delegate and trust those who've earned that right of being trustworthy. Now, trust is an interesting word for you this month.

Speaker 1:

You may be feeling that some have, because I've told you to bring people to task. It's not that they. I don't think it's to do with trust. There's two different things here. I think that the task thing is people maybe just not doing what they're supposed to be doing. The trust thing is, as a being, you tend to do everything yourself. Problem with that is people can't grow under your gaze because they're not given the opportunity to be the strength that they are. So that's what I'm asking you to do this month, and that falls in with the spiritual place, because this is a little bit of inner growth happening here, and that's all I'm going to say oh, there you are, my lovely ding, my little spark of energy, just waiting to have a chat with me.

Speaker 1:

Well, here I am. This month of February. It's all about your vision. Are you clear with what you want? Are you Like really, it's a question If you're thinking I'm going to give you the answer, think again. You need to sit down and actually look in the mirror and say what is it I want? You need to sit down and actually look in the mirror and say what is it I want? Now, that's partly to do with the year of what 2025 is bringing, but it's very much this month. So you, of all people, of all day masters, watch your Snapchats, because you're going to start seeing where you're headed Now. I'm excited for you.

Speaker 1:

I don't think this is a terrible year by far, so I love it, but I do need you to be honest with what it is you want. You have a habit. See Bing, your counterpart, the Yang fire. They're different. They're like the sun in the sky and the world revolves around them. Ding is not the same. Ding is a candle that shows the light, that sheds light for other people and shows them the way. The problem with that is you're totally giving of yourself all the time and making sure everybody else has what they need. And guess what? You get forgotten, and it's something I often speak about. You know we've touched on this before, so you need to be clear with what you want. This month and this year, I'm going to say something that you may not love, but I always have a positive spin because that's the way I view life.

Speaker 1:

This is not an easy path for you right now, but it will be in a few months. But it's not an easy path right now. The obstacles that you're going to encounter right now they're not in your path. They are your path. So don't be fearful of them. Understand they're there for very specific reasons and each time you overcome one which you will each time you overcome one, you've had a growth moment. You've learned something, you've achieved something. It's good Like. The way I look at your path a bit this year is. It's bumpy to begin with, but it ends really well. So know that these obstacles are your stepping stones and embrace them. Don't run from them.

Speaker 1:

I want you to think outside the box, to solve issues Now. Luckily for you, that comes naturally. It is something you do anyway and I want you to find inspiration inside adversity, which goes hand in hand with the obstacle thing. Each time you're faced with something, a challenge, an issue, a situation that's like oh, I've got a problem solved, I've got to fix this. They've asked me to fix this, or this isn't working, that's fine, it's not insurmountable, you'll figure it out. But you're gonna have to think outside the box to do so.

Speaker 1:

I want you to take some time away this month, if you can. If you can get away for a little holiday, please do so. It's time to hit the reset button. You've kind of been running on excess, and January was probably that tough month where things were heavy. So it's time to do a little bit of restoration and rejuvenation. Okay, just a little break. Four days, five days, whatever you can do, depending on your work situation or your family situation. Okay, remember too, when you do this, that all that glitters is not gold.

Speaker 1:

Keep your spending in check. So, yes, here I am saying go and have a little vacation. But I didn't say you know, fly to Greece for like two weeks and just drop a whole bunch of cash. No, no, no, I said get some R&R. You can do that many, many different ways. So be clever because you're spending, because I see some bumps for you in the next little while.

Speaker 1:

Maybe your income isn't as strong as it was for a short time, maybe there are some more expenses, maybe you owe some tax, I don't know, but something's there. So you know, spend some money, but be realistic, please. That's all. Just be realistic and when you're not sure, seek advice from mentors, from trusted mentors who know you inside and out, which means you're going to ask for some advice and you're going to get different answers and you won't like some. But that's the whole point, because you want to hear other people's viewpoint. They're going to answer your query with their viewpoint, from their experiences, which are not yours. So, of course, they're going to say all sorts of things Some you like, some you don't. Your role isn't to absolutely love everything or do everything someone says to you which you can do. So be careful. It's to pull out the pieces that resonate with you and move forward with those.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so I understand that February may not have sounded like the best, happiest reading. I'm actually totally fine with it for you. I think it's gonna be good because you need this almost. It's almost like this is gonna be a confidence building month. It's almost. You know this has just occurred to me. It's almost like things have been happening and you've lost faith in yourself. You've lost confidence. You feel you don't have the ability. Yes, you do. Yes, you can do it. So that's what this month is about, and it's going to be ultimately very good. All right, all right.

Speaker 1:

Where's the problem? Seriously, wu, where's the problem? You need to find it. There's a hidden problem that you have overlooked or decided not to see, and I'm asking you to bring it up and fix it, because it's going to be an issue if you don't Now. There's an external influence in all of this. There's something happening. It could be in your industry, like the industry, the climate around you. It's affecting you and it's not fair and you can't fix that. If it's an external thing, you can't fix that, but at least you can be more aware of it and start to be proactive, because otherwise you're going to get caught on the back foot with a new regulation or a new something that catches you off guard and you're like shit, I didn't see that coming. Well, you should have done, because I'm warning you about it now. I know cheeky, but it's me right. You may have to hold on something until you know what this is. Now that could be frustrating.

Speaker 1:

I know you very well, my lovely Wu, and you are the center, not like the Bing sun. That's different. You are the mountain that everyone comes to for comfort, for protection, for resource to rest upon. You are the center here, solid, trustworthy. All these wonderful things and the idea of not going forward with something that you've been planning is probably pissing you off right now. But I just need you to understand the environment. I need you to understand sorry, I want you to understand to what the environment is so that you can come out ahead. So it's not a bad thing at all, but you need to know. What I would advise you to do is to reach out to your industry, your fellow people, and ask questions.

Speaker 1:

Ok, gather intel, source information. Ask them what's going on, ask them what they're experiencing, because there's something there that everyone's feeling, and there's a there's a sense of a takeover Doesn't fully make sense to me. I'm not sure what it is. So steady yourself for any emotional unease that comes from that. It might appear one way, but it won't necessarily be that way. Do you remember at the beginning? One way, but it won't necessarily be that way. Do you remember?

Speaker 1:

At the beginning I talked about how this month there's a little bit of a distraction. Oh, look at my hand over here while I go and get this over here. So that is a foot around you. Okay, it is happening around you. So don't overreact and be fooled by the thing up here. Okay, keep your eyes peeled on the whole picture. Keep your friends close and your frenemies closer.

Speaker 1:

I am not going to explain that one. You know what I mean. Disengage from gossip. There's going to be a little bit, little bit of that around you, I'm afraid. Stick with facts and trusted intel.

Speaker 1:

So this is where the emotional unease. You're not really an emotional person in general. I mean, there are different things in your chart that can, of course, affect that, so I can't really generalize completely. But overall, a Wu-Day master, very solid, very stable, but there's something there that could create some unease and I need you to keep it factual, not emotional. Lean into your instinctive side, which is not always what you do, because you are a factual person. Breathe and listen wisely.

Speaker 1:

And that goes back to gathering the intel from your industry. And if you're thinking, sam, I'm not in an industry. I stay at home and look after three children. Okay, well, what about all the play groups and the schools and all the things you're involved in with the children? You are in an environment that your industry is children. Your industry is family. Your industry is the volunteer things you probably do with the children. So put it into context for your world.

Speaker 1:

Now, what I will say, which is good, is I opened up with find the problem Not the best opening I've ever had, probably, but what I will say is that, ultimately, it's not going to be as bad as it first seems. So once you find this problem, or you go looking for it and you find it, you might be like oh my God, I didn't know that was an issue. Doesn't matter, it's going to be fine, it's going to be totally fine. Once you find it, it's not finding it. That will be the issue. That is your undoing. So there you go, wu, you know what you got to do. Well, you're going to think on your feet this month, oh my goodness. And I like this because it means you're not going to rely on others, which you might want to do. And I'm saying please don't Step up. Yep, step up, dear G. This is your time to step up and think on your feet. It's time to align.

Speaker 1:

I want you to review your friends and your frenemies and it's funny because I just talked about frenemies with Wu just now, your counterpart, the Yang Earth and I want you to know who they are. So I just want you at this point, I just want you to identify who is your friend and who is your frenemy. Both can be useful, and even if you're thinking, what do you mean a frenemy can be useful Maybe my term useful is not quite right. I guess what I'm saying is we've all got them in our lives, we just don't know it. So you can't look around and think I'm only going to have friends near me, I'm just going to get rid of all my frenemies. Good luck. You don't really know who your frenemies are, and they're usually attached to you in some way. So it's more just understanding who is it you can trust and who is it that you can, dare I say, use but utilize in your network, in your world. That's what this is about.

Speaker 1:

I want you to, or I encourage you to, use social occasions this month to gather information. Be cautious with flashy spending, though, so in case you're thinking, oh, this sounds great. I'm going to have a party. Sam just said I should have a social occasion. Well, I did. I want you to be social, but you don't have to spend a ton of money to do that. So just keep your hand in your pocket but be social.

Speaker 1:

And the reason I say that well, not the reason, but part of the reason for that is there is a legal component floating around and I looked to see what. It was Hard to really nail down what it is. It's some kind of structure or authoritative orders over you. Some could be a restraint of some. I don't mean like a legal restraint, I mean something restricting. Something you want to do could be restricting your movements, restricting something you want to do. It's just something you have to comply with and maybe it costs money to fix. So I'm kind of asking you to be social but be aware of your spending. Just keep some more money in your pockets, of asking you to be social but be aware of your spending. Just keep some more money in your pockets, okay. Only engage with logical issues. Okay, Abandon anything emotionally charged.

Speaker 1:

So if something comes forward that looks like it could be to do with that authority, that structure, that legal component don't let your emotions take over. Pull back, keep it clean and also beware of a bleeding heart. This came forward for you. So this is when someone comes forward and says, oh, I'm so sorry, I meant to have that money I owed to you last week, but you know what. This happened here and that happened there, and if you could just give me more time, you know I'm good for it. You know what they're actually milking you. They're actually, you know, look into that, because they probably they're taking advantage of you. It could be a bleeding heart of someone saying, oh God, I know I usually drive the kids to school on a Tuesday, but I just can't do it. This happened. Can you do all the Tuesdays in February? Okay, the answer is no, you can't. That's the example I'm giving you.

Speaker 1:

So just have a look around to see who is taking advantage of you. If someone's asking a favor and it's someone that often helps you, that's different. I need you to have a look and that's where the frenemy and the sort of the friend the friend and the frenemy comes in. The friends that ask for favors, it's different, the frenemy that always seems to need something from you. That I need you to be aware of and I'd like you to consider a small getaway, okay, just a little something to clear your mind and recharge your focus. So, again, don't break the bank. This can be a two-nighter somewhere, this can be a drive up up the coastline, up an island or something, just to get away and give yourself a break. It'd be really important to recharge. Okay, it'd be really important to recharge okay.

Speaker 1:

Well, well, well, well, my lovely gung, you might feel like you're amidst a cloud of issues, that things are floating around. It's a little bit foggy, you can't quite see which way you're supposed to go. That's okay, because February is going to be your Snapchat and, long term, it all pays off. The fog will clear. But don't push this, because you might be thinking I just, you know, move the clouds away, I can see clearly. Well, no, if you move the clouds away, more clouds are just going to come in, because that's just where it is right now. So don't fight it. Go with it and know that you don't have all the answers yet, but and know that you don't have all the answers yet, but you will what's occurring Actually? Do you have something renewing or something occurring in September? So, if you do, this is tied to that. September's coming through as an important month in some way, and it could be something tricky. So I'm actually not sure what that is. I'm going to leave that with you. Yeah, I don't know what that is, but it came through fast and furious and I don't know what that is, but I'm going to leave that one with you. Okay, let's get back on track.

Speaker 1:

Unconventional viewpoint this month. So I want you to re-engage your why for 2025. So this is the perfect month to do that, because it's our February Snapchat, right? So we're going to see all these things. So what is your why in what you're doing? So I think, if I layer that with the clouds I was just talking about clearly well, that's a pun, because not clearly, because you can't see Clearly you're confused about something. You're not sure which way to go. So you need to be patient, because the directions will show themselves, and they probably won't be a really clear direction. They're going to come in drifts and drabs at different times. So I encourage you to seek unconventional advice on this.

Speaker 1:

Facts and figures don't always tell the story. Of course, they're important, but there's something occurring that is actually involves not logic. I mean, that wasn't the best English I've ever said in the world, but it's not logical or it might defy logic. So trust in your gut. I always say to people in February especially, trust with what resonates, with what feels good, because that's what the month is all about Now. The tiger. This is tiger month. We can't forget that. The tiger is all about push and pouncing and speed and the whole thing, but the snake isn't going to allow that. The snake is still making her nest. So I get the feel. I think you're going to feel I'm going to go forward, I'm going to sit back, I'll do this. No, I'll do that. I'll go hit. No, it's okay. You're going to feel that that's the clouds.

Speaker 1:

Just enjoy it, make notes and have a million pros and cons sheets or ideas sheets or whatever it is. It's all good, it's all as it's meant to be. Now there could be an unexpected windfall or an investment in you from an external source. Isn't that exciting? So I looked at that and thought is it actual money or is someone investing time in you or giving you a resource of some kind? I think it's actually money, money tied in with it somehow, so it's good. So, again, you need to wait for all that to come in, because you can't necessarily make your moves yet, because they're all pieces of the puzzle and you can't see the whole puzzle yet. Passion projects will inspire you, for sure. Cultivate those ideas. So this is a great month to, yeah, just keep cultivating and writing down all those ideas.

Speaker 1:

And I do think you're going to be challenged on something, directly challenged, on something which is all about why I asked you to know your why? Because if you know your why in what you're doing, the universe will show you how. You don't need to figure out the how. The universe will provide that. But if you know your why, when someone says, well, why on earth are you doing that, you can say because, hey, genius, I know. So know your why, and you will um be setting up a good. I'll use the word foundation, but I think I prefer platform. So there's a platform you're building and it's happening to a couple of day masters, not just you, but there's a platform you're building. So the why is really important in this. All right, so there you go, my fearless gung. You have your work cut out for you.

Speaker 1:

And here we are at the only day master that gets nobleman this February month. Wow Xin, you are so special. It's all about you. All eyes are on you.

Speaker 1:

Now, to give you some context here nobleman comes through each month and it goes to one or two of the day masters, depending on specific things in Chinese metaphysics. So I always identify where they are. Usually it's two or three, that it's around One. This is unusual. This is very unusual. So it means you have access to incredible resource, incredible support. This is not a month to waste. This is a month to do okay, but you will need to set realistic boundaries and attainable goals and stick to them. But do ask for help, because you will have help on many different levels. It can be spiritual, it can be emotional, it can be physical and it can be, you know, personal work, all sorts. The help you need is there, it's completely around you this month. So the minute you feel like, oh, I'm not sure about that, ask for help. It's not a weakness thing. The person is going to be right there and is going to keep you on track and keep you moving.

Speaker 1:

Very important Ensure that your personal house is in order. This is interesting. These things don't normally come through for me when I'm mapping things out, but it did. So your personal house has to be in order because if it isn't, you can't advance. Your personal house has to be in order because if it isn't, you can't advance. So whether you're a stay-at-home parent, someone in your 60s or no kids, or a professional entrepreneur any number of things make sure your personal house is in order. So that will depend on where you are in your life and what your life is, but put it in order, please, and it's not difficult.

Speaker 1:

This is not a problem. This is something good, it's something positive. It's because things are going to happen, right, things are going to happen and if you're not solidly set with things and secure and confident, you might be buffered by them and you might then become uneasy, and that would be the wrong place to be. I do think you have a weak link somewhere, so uncover your weakest link and fortify it. A strong foundation is important because, like I said, you're building this, you're moving forward into 2025. It's really important. But whatever the weak link is, fortify it. Okay, it's no big deal.

Speaker 1:

Personal energy may get drained, so I feel like you're gonna be pulled in a number of different directions. So, again, ask for help. Find ways to fortify yourself, whether it's sleep or food or delegating tasks, so you're not doing everything. You know how to fortify yourself, so put those things in position, please, and I believe you're going to be seeking a work life balance this month, which is going to be tricky. Quite frankly, it's not going to be an easy thing for you to achieve. So know that and realign your goals. Remember I said at the beginning set realistic boundaries and attainable goals. This is connected with that.

Speaker 1:

You can't necessarily have it all this month. Something will pay the price, but it's a temporary price. So if it's a full-on work month, yeah, your personal world may not be as strong because you are focused here. If it's a full-on family month for any number of reasons, well, your work life may suffer a bit, but these are temporary imbalances, so it's no big deal. But you need to know where you want the imbalance to be because you can actually choose where it is Okay. I want you to be kind to yourself because you're going to I still think you're going to. I know you're a shinday master. You're going to try to achieve this balance and I'm sorry it balances a fallacy. When someone's balancing on something, they're teetering, they're never actually still. Still, there's a constant wobble as they get that balance. You don't want to be there. Know that you're going to be here and then you're going to be here and it's okay, it's good.

Speaker 1:

Keep an eye on your financial holdings, because your obligations may rise. I looked at this at first and I thought are you going to lose some money? I don't know, I don't think so, but you might lose something that is valuable. So keep an eye on your wallet If you're traveling. Keep an eye on your camera. Well, what am I saying? It'd be a phone. Let's face it, we all carry our phones. Keep an eye on your phone, you know, because that's got your credit cards in it, probably. So just be aware that you could lose something that could cost you, and so if you're proactive with that, you'll be fine.

Speaker 1:

And beware an uncompromising sorry, beware. An uncompromising stance Is your way. The only way I'd love to say it is, but it isn't. You know, I care for you, my dear Shin, but yours is not the only way forward. Yours is not the only idea. You don't always have all the answers. This month, you're going to ask for help because you've got Nobleman, and Nobleman is bloody awesome for you this February. So run. Well, it's funny If we think of the word run, which is actually is R-E-N, but it sounds like run.

Speaker 1:

And my opening line for you is stay the course. Consistency is key. Don't run, don't run away. Stay the course, stay there. And it's not that you're a flight risk, but there is something there that might be wanting to take you off task and I think it's a bit of an illusion. I don't think it's real, so stay the course. This grass is greener, or this glittering gem that looks good is not what it seems. Stay the course Now. New relationships await.

Speaker 1:

This was cool when I saw this. It's I don't know that it's a personal relationship, but it's personal relationships. I think it's friendships, networks, people. Here's the bugger you can't actually fully engage with them if you're hanging onto the past. So there's something you haven't let go of Now. I've said this to you before and you're probably peed off at me right now because I bring it up again, but I don't think you've let go of something fully. I still think you're hanging on, and it's just time. Okay, the snake of 2025 is going to shed her skin, right, we're going to shed what no longer serves us, and it's a good thing. It's only sad for a moment. As we shed, you know what doesn't serve us and we remember it. These are memories now. These are good things in our past, so it's okay.

Speaker 1:

I do think you've got a difficult conversation coming up and you don't want to have it. Well, my lovely run, you've got to have it. It's time. In fact, it's past time. You actually missed this conversation. It was meant to be had before. I think I said it a few months ago. It's time to have it now. Okay, again, it's a good thing. You've got to remember that when you close something, when you end something, you are releasing the other person to go on to other things. So it's good.

Speaker 1:

Now there is an aggressor. There's someone there in the shadows that shows themselves from the wings. They come forward. You need to be the better person. Do not engage, do not go down to their level. Stay at your level. Lead by example, extricate yourself from whatever this aggressive situation is by doing the right thing, and you will be fine. You will actually come out of it just fine, but not if you engage and battle.

Speaker 1:

Intellectual property is coming up for discussion. There's something that's joint. You need to navigate that cautiously and carefully. Again, I actually think everything's going to work out for you, but not quite yet. So there is a little bit of turbulence this month and that's why you're going to have difficult conversations. Okay, they are so good once we start them. They're just hard to begin. Now your personal ambitions are rising, which is great, but they could take you off course. So keep your head down and basically get on with it right now.

Speaker 1:

I'm not saying you're not going to be able to expand in 2025. You are. But just keep things on the straight and narrow for the moment. When you spot an opportunity and I say when when you spot the opportunity that is coming towards, you, explore it. You may not be able to dive fully into it yet, but explore it and you can then develop it down the road. If you've let go of the excess baggage connected with something else, all right. So I know it's a little bit cryptic for you. Hear me now, believe me later.

Speaker 1:

So, gwe, why are you hesitating, I am asking you. Why are you hesitating, I am asking you? Why are you hesitating? Do not make decisions out of fear. Do you remember that? I've spoken to fear before and I've said that fear to me means something? If you break the letters down, f-e-a-r, false events appearing real You're hesitating because of false things that you think you know, that you actually don't know. So please clear the air and remove the fear aside. I do understand a little piece of the fear.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to be totally honest here, because there's a governance, there's something over you that you've got to meet or exceed. Even maybe I'm not quite sure you've got to implement some kind of correct rule, or you've got to adhere to some kind of rule, a process, a procedure. It's fine. It's fine, adhere to it. You know, look out, look at what it is, look at, ultimately, what it will do for you and adhere to it. Okay, is there something you could compromise on? Is there some way you can, you know, make this work better for you? But I will say it's.

Speaker 1:

When I use the word governance, that's usually something quite big, something powerful, so you can't win it, you can't beat them. So join them, okay, and there will be a way to make it work that they'll be happy with and you'll also be happy with, because I want you to remember that rules are guidelines, so sometimes something could be presented with well, no, you actually have to do it this way. And we're like can't do it that way, there's no way I can do it. If we just said, oh my God, I can see totally why you need it done that way. Here's our situation and we can do this, and you'll probably, they'll probably say well, okay, that's fine, we can do that. We'll just make an amendment or an addendum or whatever it is. So you know, look at how you can compromise and just have the conversation.

Speaker 1:

Rules are guidelines. They're not meant to be broken, but they can be flexed and it's okay to cut outside the lines. I mean, I love that. It's one of my favorite little cheeky sentences. But sometimes we can get caught up with doing everything within the lines. Get a big marker pen and color everything and just make it bright and cheerful. Push yourself to step outside the lines. Don't break a law or anything like that. But can you push outside the lines just a little bit?

Speaker 1:

I think you can Beware impulsive responses that could alienate others, probably in your delivery. I think it could just be in how you say something and find another way. Please, okay, read the room. Learn to read the room and learn when it's something you can be strong on and something you need to be soft. Please, okay, read the room. Learn to read the room and learn when it's something you can be strong on and something you need to be soft on. Okay, present your ideas with professionalism and clarity and, above all else, what's in it for them.

Speaker 1:

So, if we think of everything I've said so far, when we want to do something that involves other people, one of the best things we can do is show them how it makes their life better, show them how the process makes their work easier, makes the process more streamlined, smoother. So put yourself on that side of it and work on your delivery and you are going to get exactly what you want. And you'll be like, oh my God, why didn't I think of this sooner? That's because you didn't have me and now you have a Sam. That's what I do, and the last thing I'm going to ask you to do is to review your finances. Just ensure that you're happy with the current allocations, and that's partly. It's just a small thing, but it kind of flagged in my mind when I looked at the governance. I'm like do you have to pay something? Is it some kind of you have to conform to something and pay money for it? I don't actually know, because I don't know every inner working of your world, but you do. So, yeah, just have a little once over on your finances and make sure things are tickety-boo and how you like them. All right, there you go, my lovely Gwaii. That was good. Well, there you go.

Speaker 1:

I've talked about 2025, I've talked about February and I've chatted to all of the 10 day masters. Need a cup of tea now, but I've got one more thing to share. It is, of course, the lucky dates and unlucky dates. So you know me, I'm going to be a little bit cheeky. I'm going to give you all the yay and nay days. Now, if you're new here and you're thinking what's a yay and a nay day, sam, well, nay just means like we don't like it, yay is like yay, we like it. So, and I've created something special on my website. So what I'm going to recommend you do is go to chi prosamcom. You're going to see the chi calendar. Go there, subscribe to it. Do yourself a favor, subscribe to it. You can pick a day and subscribe to that, or you can pick the whole thing. Your call up to you.

Speaker 1:

But what I will tell you is the nay days for February month Tiger month are February 8th, the 11th, 20th, 23rd and March 4th, because of course, we go with the solar calendar, which is not Gregorian. 1st to 31st, it's different. So March 4th is part of February before we go into the next month. So those are the days where the energy is in flux. They are not the world is over days. They are not disaster days. They are just days that in general, we avoid. Things aren't smooth. Energy is shifting. It's hard to get the outcome you want.

Speaker 1:

Now, sometimes I will use a nay day to create action on something, but that is very specific, with the full birth chart and knowing the activity. So, for everything else, just keep those as nay days. Now, yay days, I've got eight of them for you for February, but I'm only going to give you one here because you're going to have to go to the website and get the rest yourself. You're going to see, I put beautiful little pictures in and I've had a lot of fun explaining what the day is, and I've also added an astrology element there too, giving you the heads up if this is a bad day for you, astrologically speaking, with your birth chart. So the first one, the one I'm going to give you, is February 6th, so it's coming up very quick. This is overflowing with potential. It's a day and a month where the energy is combining okay, and it's going to provide a favorable platform for whatever you wish.

Speaker 1:

Now, that's all I'm going to say. I wrote more on the date on the calendar and you're going to have to go listen, but it is a good day, and there are seven other good ones I gave as well. So enjoy the calendar and, as we close off here today, what I want to remind you is that you are the lead character in your life. We've got 10 day masters okay, 10 profiles of us okay, I'm one of the day masters, just like you, and I am the guide by your side, but you are the lead character. So use your God-given talents, use your smarts, your brain, and gather information that helps you make informed decisions with the month ahead, so that you can avoid issues and you can accentuate the positives. So remember, you've got this, I'm simply the guide by your side.
