QiPro Sam:

And here we go into the first month of 2025. It is February, people, and this is a big month. You will see snapchats of your year ahead. You will see glimpses of greatness. You will see triggers of treachery. Oh boy, yes, it's quite the month coming at you and I'm here to help you through it.

QiPro Sam:

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 about mine. I want to empower people with information, because the one thing that can't be taken from you is your knowledge. Well, you have an entry like that and you have to think. Well, I got to keep listening, sam. What is this all about? Well, let me enlighten you and welcome you to my world.

QiPro Sam:

As I mentioned, february ushers in the first full month of the wood snake year. Yep, we have finally moved away from that dragon that destroyed pretty much everything in his path and we're looking at a new way forward. The energy is shifting, plans set in motion start to take shape and, like I said, those hidden opportunities. They're going to emerge, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's have a look at where we're at. February is something called Wu Yin. Wu is Yang Earth, yin is Tiger. So this month carries the weight of Yang Earth sitting atop the Tiger, and it's a most powerful, restless combination that sets the stage for unpredictable journeys. Unpredictable is the word here. You see, wu is the steady mountain. It seeks stability, but Yin the tiger, the fierce and untamed tiger, refuses to stay still. This push-pull energy means the pace will be anything but steady.

QiPro Sam:

Now, I am a tad late recording this. I will be completely honest. It's annual update time and I've had my head down focusing on getting reports out to you. So this is a tad late and a lot is underway, but it's still valuable. So if you're just picking this up now halfway through the month, stick with me.

QiPro Sam:

It's important stuff, because just when you think you have things figured out, a sudden shift may catch you off guard. Unexpected opportunities arise, but so do challenges that test you Trust, trust in your resilience and your adaptability, because you are going to have to flex this month. Nothing is what it seems or, more to the point, nothing is what you expected it to be so. Will you stand firm like a mountain or will you pivot like a tiger, seizing the moment as it comes? This month isn't just about progress. It's about proving to yourself that you can stay the distance.

QiPro Sam:

So what exactly will February reveal? What am I talking about? What am I hinting about in all my little testy, cheeky bits? Well, february is more than just another month. It's a snapshot of your year ahead. It's like a fleeting glimpse into the future, and this month reveals both the highs and the lows, the challenges, offering you a preview of what's to come. Some moments will excite you. Some things, you see, you will be just wonderful to see, filling you with the thrill of a new possibility, while other things you get a glimpse of may catch you off guard, testing your patience and definitely your resilience. Do not fear what you see. It's not here to work against you, but to prepare you. Every twist, every unexpected shift is a message nudging you towards growth. Pay attention, take notes and trust that whatever unfolds now is shaping you for what's next.

QiPro Sam:

In a month as unpredictable as February, your wisest move is to tune out the noise and tune into yourself. You see, the world is full of opinions. I'm even giving you some. Now I get it. I see the irony here. But this well-meaning advice that you're going to hear from everyone, the cautionary tales, the fears that don't belong to you. If you're not careful, those external voices can cloud your vision, making you doubt your own instincts.

QiPro Sam:

This month isn't about them. It's about you. Take a step back. Question yourself without bias. What do you truly want? Not what's expected of you, not what's a safest thing for you to do, but what sets your soul on fire. What do you want your life to be? Once you have that answer, speak it out loud. I can't say that enough. Speak it out loud, let yourself hear it. Your voice is the only one that matters now, and it's time to start listening to yourself Now, as you find yourself, as you find your voice.

QiPro Sam:

There are a few things I'd like you to avoid. One of them is losing sight of the big picture, the long game, the snake If I love to give analogies, the snake is this long animal. So it's about the long game. As a snake moves through the grass, twisting and turning, it looks like it's going one direction, then it goes another way. That's what's up for you Now. I know it's a tiger month, but we've got a snake in play. So February's tiger is bold, instinctive and ready to pounce. But before you leap, ask yourself are you aiming at the right target? Remember, the snake is here for the year. She's aligning the whole year. The tiger's just pushing you forward this month.

QiPro Sam:

This month, the danger lies not in action, but an impulsive action. It's easy to get caught up in the minutiae, distracted by small setbacks or fleeing fears and lose sight of where you actually want to go. Do not let that happen. The tiger is a predator and under its influence, you might feel like the world is against you, like someone is out to get you. Please pause a moment. Is that really true? Is that really true? Or is fear creeping in again, clouding your vision? Remember, this is the first month of 2025 and the choices you make now will set the tone for so much more than you realise.

QiPro Sam:

Trust that the tiger isn't here to put you in danger. He's here to protect you, to push you, to test you. He wants you to examine the boundaries and limitations you've placed on yourself. Seriously. You have done this to yourself. You have put limitations on what you can do. You've put expiry date on things. Why, why are you doing that? Because and even worse, I will say that you've let other people put limitations on you or boundaries what the hell? It's nothing to do with them. This is your moment to break free. Are you brave enough to take this moment? I truly hope you are Now.

QiPro Sam:

I'm going to give you a little self-story here, because I always think it's good to explain what's going on in my world, in case you're thinking but how does this apply? What does it look like? I did something this month. I walked away from something. Now it defied logic what I was doing and a few people didn't understand and they're like well, why would you do that? That's a perfectly good situation and it's got this and it's got that and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it's not right for me because it didn't align with my principles.

QiPro Sam:

I had a major issue. I was changing myself for somebody else. I was doing something that didn't align with who I am as a person and I realized and I knew it was coming. I knew I saw it back in December, but I kind of allowed myself to be persuaded because I tried to do the right thing. See, as much as I'm a rebel, I will always actually try to do the right thing by other people and I often lose myself in that. But I know more than ever this is not the year to do that Now.

QiPro Sam:

Other people wouldn't have made the decision I made. They would have been too fearful to give up that kind of an income, too fearful to give up that type of a position in the community Not me, no, because I know that once you do that, once you step away for what is not right for you, you create space for what is right for you and already within 10 days, the right thing has come to me. I didn't even know it was coming. I had no idea this other opportunity was there literally none and yet the minute I made space for one, it came forward and I didn't know about it. So it's not like I made a decision thinking, oh, I'll do this other thing. No, I had to be brave and stand Quite. Frankly, I stood alone and it took guts and I'm going to say that I was courageous to do what I did and I am so fucking happy that I did, because I am being who I am and I ask you to look at yourself and be brave about what it is you want out of life, because now is the time to take it.

QiPro Sam:

Okay, I'm going to lighten the mood a bit here. We're going to move into some feng shui, because once we get me on a story, we can be here for hours. You don't want that. You want to get to the nitty gritty. I know that. So remember, as we move into feng shui, I'm talking about how the environment affects you, because feng shui is the art and science of understanding how the environment affects you. Whether your environment is a home, a condo, a house, an office building, a tent, it doesn't matter. You're affected by what is around you.

QiPro Sam:

Now, if we haven't worked on your home, I don't know your feng shui. So what I'm giving you here are basics. They're a little bit generic and I've got to be honest because they are. It's the feng shui energy of the month, but I don't know exactly how it aligns in your home because I don't have your feng shui chart in front of me. So I'm going to give you some beneficial areas to use more and some couple of areas to use less, and I and some couple of areas to use less, and I'll explain why. So all you need to do is know. Basically, is your front door north, is it south? Is it what is it? And then from there you can work out what your kitchen is, what your bedroom is and all things like that.

QiPro Sam:

Okay, so, first of all, once you have an idea of what's your home, your condo, your office, look at your southwest. This area this month is good to use a lot. It's fantastic for business opportunities, connecting within your network and following through on opportunities that you find. So not only is it a good month because it's February and things are going to be shown to you that you can do. This is an area that is doubling that up. So definitely use that for business phone calls, business meetings, even just sitting planning things in your diary. Okay, it's a good place to use.

QiPro Sam:

Next up is the East. It's a tremendous growth area this month. So put your best foot forward, be clear with what you want, as recognition is yours for the taking If you use the East as your platform for those conversations, those phone calls, those meetings. Now, if I've given you two good ones, what are two that are not so good? Well, one is the Northeast, can we say, stuck in the mud, determined, possibly bullheaded. Be careful, communication here will not be positive. So that's in the northeast. It's just not great for well for communication, quite frankly. You just won't achieve anything. So avoid it for important meetings. Now the other one is the northwest. This has a very assertive stance this month and it can turn aggressive all too quickly. So avoid this area for important meetings and communications. So basically, northeast East, north West, downplay them this month. They're not conducive to you getting what it is you want, what you want, and it's not so much getting what you want, it's achieving a common goal with the other person. Right? Every meeting, every collaboration should always be for both parties, not just one. So do the best you can.

QiPro Sam:

Okay, now let's get to the fun stuff. The bit I love the most is astrology. Now here I'm not talking about your Daymaster, that's the other podcast I do, which I'm pretty sure you're following as well. This is looking at your full astrology chart. And if you don't have that, pop over to cheaprosamcom and you'll see calculators. Just go to one of the calculators and put in your birth date. Voila, you'll have your birth chart.

QiPro Sam:

Now what I'm going to get you to look at is in your birth chart. There's going to be two main areas. One is across the top, and it's what we call the stems, and these are elements like fire, wood, metal, water all those kinds of things. On the bottom are something we call the branches. These are the 12 animals. This is where I want you to look, because I'm going to tell you what is occurring with the month of February. So we're not talking about the year so much right now, we're talking about the month.

QiPro Sam:

So, first of all, do you have a monkey in your birth chart? Okay, if you do, the monkey's in clash mode this month. So you see, the monkey and the tiger are natural opposites and they create one of the most intense clashes in the zodiac. Both are traveling animals, which traveling stars, which means movement disruption and unexpected detours, both literal and metaphorical. Now, if you have a monkey in your chart, expect travel plans to go sideways, schedules to shift and carefully laid out itineraries to unravel. But before you curse the chaos, understand that this clash isn't here to punish you. It's here to shake you loose. The tiger pushes forward with raw instinct, while the monkey thrives on clever adaptability, and together well together they can make you act on impulse and maybe, just maybe, that's exactly what you need. Maybe you've been playing it too safe. Change is afoot and sometimes the best way forward is to stop overthinking and just leap All right, next animal up on the hot seat.

QiPro Sam:

Do you have a snake in your birth chart? I put my hand up. I do have a snake in your birth chart. I put my hand up. I do have a snake in a certain part of my birth chart, so let's have a look at what that means this February. Well, it's a subtle yet draining energy that can leave you feeling stretched too thin. Yep, I will agree with that one. So, as a snake, you are naturally strategic and composed and may find your push to overextend yourself, saying yes when you should be saying no, or bending too far to accommodate others. Now, remember you could have a snake in the year, the month, the day or the hour, and it does mean different things. But let's just focus on the generic right now.

QiPro Sam:

What I want you to know, if you've got a snake in your chart, that not every battle is yours to fight this month. Be mindful of where your energy is going, because not everyone or everything deserves it. Use your eloquence and wisdom to navigate tricky situations. You are already gifted and graceful with persuasive qualities. So if something isn't in your favor, talk your way out of it. Okay, talk your way out of it with finesse. Prioritize your own well-being, set firm boundaries and remember self-preservation isn't selfish, it's smart. Okay, let's move along. Do you have a monkey in your chart? You're probably thinking, yeah, we've already done that. Well, no, we're here again A monkey in your chart.

QiPro Sam:

It's kind of like a trio punishment with the February tiger and the annual snake. It's a triple combo, if you will. So it's a bit of a and it's different from what I've already spoken to. It's a bit volatile and it can pull you into trouble of your own making, especially when trying to help others. That's the problem. Your good intentions may backfire, dragging you into conflicts, misunderstandings or even situations where you take the fall for someone else's mess. So be extra cautious with family dynamics and marital relations, as this energy can heighten tension, miscommunication and emotional outbursts will occur. It's just not the month to play the hero. Ok, at least not without really thinking it through first. The tiger's boldness, the monkey's cleverness and the snake's strategic mind can work against you if not kept in check. So proceed carefully. Please Choose your battles wisely and remember sometimes the best way to help is to stop before you get caught in the storm.

QiPro Sam:

Okay, let's go a little bit different here. Do you have a pig in your birth chart? Well, the pig is destructively friendly. This February, you see the February's tiger and the pig form a combination. But don't be fooled. This is no gentle alliance. The pig may feel drawn toward the tiger's energy, but their connection is also destructive. Breaking things down before rebuilding them stronger. It's a very interesting situation for the pig this month. Before rebuilding them stronger. It's a very interesting situation for the pig this month.

QiPro Sam:

This month will ask what in your life needs to be destroyed to make way for something better. Is it a limiting belief, a stagnant situation, a relationship dynamic that no longer serves you? Destruction isn't always negative People. You know when I talk about astrology, because there's so many different terms we use as a chinese astrologer, and some of these words are really old and some are new. People panic over clashes or harms or destructions, and I and I get it. The words do sound negative, but it's up to you to change your mindset on that. Is the cup half full or is the cup half empty? If this energy is coming towards you this month and I'm telling you it is, use it, tap into it, go with it, don't fight it. Okay, destructions aren't always negative. They're the first step in transformation, but you don't have to do it alone.

QiPro Sam:

So if you've got a pig in your birth chart, yes, the pig, the tiger is powerful, but the pig knows the value of teamwork and support. Find the right people, those who challenge you, inspire you and push you toward growth, and work together to make the changes happen. You see, that's how you do this. You work with energy. This isn't about reckless destruction. It's about strategic renewal. Break it down, rebuild it stronger. All righty, that's kind of the astrology stuff down there. And as we close this chapter on February's energetic dance, let the powerful synergy of the tiger and the snake pave the way for your year ahead. Embrace the tiger's bold drive and the snake's keen insight to craft the platform from which your future will launch. Now is not the time to hesitate. It's the moment to be truly honest about what you seek in life. When you clearly articulate your why, the universe steps in with the how. Trust in this dynamic energy, act with conviction and watch as the cosmos aligns to support your journey.

QiPro Sam:

Okay, I'm going to close there, because I got to get back to all the 2025 personal updates. I'm doing for people, so reach out to me if you want to get on my list. I do have some openings. Otherwise, look at February. You've still got half the month to go. We've still got time and be honest with what it is you want. This is your chance, this is your year, and pay attention to what you've seen this month of February, because everything that has landed at your door positive, not so positive is purposeful and meant for you. All. Right, that's it. I will see you in March for your Chi cast about the Day. Brilliant month ahead. Bye.
