Instead of having white Christmas, it looks like we’ll be having a white Valentines weekend. A smile reflexively lifts my face. It’s beautiful look out on the fresh falling snow, from the safety of my warm shelter. It’s predicted to continue all day.

I love it when nature demands our attention. Any possibilities towards greater reopening is halted. Less urgent matters take a backseat. Only the most essential travel will happen. It’s still and quiet. Soon, more eyes will open and look out into this amazing world we live in.

How are you in the snow? Can you be enchanted even as you are inconvenienced? Ki to Happiness salutes the snow.

Welcome to the lunar new year of the Ox. Steadfastness, reliability, and persistence are available to companion us through this year and all that we must face. This year will require hard work. When applied, slow steady progress is possible.

This may be a vast improvement over last year of the rat. Survival, cleverness and willingness to gnaw through obstacles served us well as we navigated last year. Now, we can plough through the fertile soil in readiness for planting.

How do you feel about hard work? Can you patiently persist so there’s slow steady progress? Ki to Happiness welcomes the Ox, grateful for the ride it has given this Rat, to land safely on the Buddha’s lap.

Welcome to the new moon and five other planets in Aquarius. After preparing, today is a great day to set very clear intentions on what it is you would most like to manifest.It is best if those intentions are simple and direct. Vocalizing them will establish their vibration in the physical.

Aquarius can be very heady, intellectual, and analytical. If you find that all of the mental energy has you swirling, ground yourself. I love to do so by walking in nature, practicing yoga, and eating healthy simple foods.

What does your true heart want most? Can you take a few minutes and set that clear simple and direct intention? Ki to Happiness most wants to love and be loved. Like you.

Tomorrow’s new moon in Aquarius is an opportunity for new intentions which will be supported by five other planets that sign. We haven’t had this much friendly energy opening us to electric eccentric possibilities since 1962, so let’s make good use of it.

Today is a good day of preparation. Taking out the trash, cleaning the house, recycling items that are no longer bringing joy, are all ways we can ritualize our welcome. Getting some flowers, and something red to wear will align us with tomorrow’s Chinese New Year. We want to make very clear intentions of what we would love to manifest in the next year of the Ox.

What would you truly love to manifest? How can you make space/time for it in your life? Ki to Happiness is preparing for the New Baby Ox year to manifest its hard working steadfastness in the direction of friendship, community, and global consciousness.

As we spend less time in each others physical presence, the voice has become more important. Hearing the tone, the volume, the emphasis, the point of view all contribute to the message.

With mercury retrograde, and Uranus in Taurus, there are lots of astrological challenges. With technology, communication, and travel hindrances our habits are resistant to the new Aquarian Age. It’s very important for teachers, leaders, parents, and influencers of all platforms to check one’s voice.

To what do you wish to give voice? What’s the most effective way? Ki to Happiness says “sing it”.

Hatha Yoga Center continues with it offerings from the College Center Building. Our downstairs neighbors have moved out. Upstairs across the foyer, the anchor neighbor is leaving after 33 years here. Another long-term neighbor left in December.

New neighbors have moved in! There is still vacancy in the building. From the outside of the building, there are visible signs right under us and right next to us advertising availability for lease. Our son has also just moved into his new arrangement. Great movement is occurring.

Are you seeing movement in your area, too? How is it affecting you? Ki to Happiness moves with yoga.

Everybody needs discipline and nurturance as we grow. Our parents have done the best they could. It was good enough to get us all where we are. In our adulthood, we get to continue with both, in the ways we were raised, and in new creative ways.

When we project our unmet needs on our partners, we end up disappointed, or worse. Instead, when we take responsibility for reparenting our little selves, turning to Divine Mother Father God for guidance, we heal. Sometimes that guidance comes from another as a representative of the Great One.

Are you needing more discipline? Or nurturance? Ki to Happiness shares plenty of both.

I was inspired yesterday to make use of some unusual ingredients in the kitchen. Without recipes, listening to Guidance, I whomped up several delicious dishes.

Strawberry kumquat smoothies, baked tempeh with Dash, lentil mushroom soup, vegan grilled cheez sandwiches and fresh soy yogurt all are ready! Creativity and nutrition combined.

Are you able to whomp up something good with the odds and ends in your kitchen? Do you need a recipe? Ki to Happiness follows the recipe Guidance offers.

This is a day venerating St. Agatha. She is the patron saint of breast health. She is available for assistance with anything related to the health of the breast tissue and it’s function.

Issues with breast pain, challenges with breast-feeding, and breast cancer are her specialty. Petition her for healing all maternal, nutritional comfort needs. She was helpful all, regardless of gender identification.

Could you or anyone you know benefit from this information? How can you best share this? Ki to Happiness shares here and now.

My most recent mishap is resolved! Physical function is completely restored. I’m grateful.

At this time of year, I have always thought about one significant person in my life who’s birthday is today. Last year I researched his whereabouts so I could greet him. In doing so, much has been revealed. This year, my thoughts about him are free from the past. I’m grateful.

I got a surprise birthday greeting from my cousin. This represents emotion healing from estrangement over long held grievances. I’m grateful!

What level of healing do you need? How can you further your process today? Ki to Happiness heals on one level, which helps another (and another and….)
