With all the planets roaring forwards into 2020 until the 16th of February its time for a series of New Moon in Aquarius readings. It’s a new decade and we are meant to be breaking patterns so instead of my usual collective reading groups I’m going to spend the year finding themes that come up along with the new energies.
I’ve no idea how many readings there will be for each moon phase so I’ll just fly by the seat of my pants. The New Moon is on Friday 24th January at 21:44pm and is of course the start of the Chinese New Year. 新年快乐 Xīnnián kuàilè. This is the year of the metal Rat and is believed to be a lucky and prosperous year of yang wealth. So watch this space as I will be adding a reading for each animal sign during the week.
Ascension Symptoms
We begin though with a reading on surviving ascension symptoms during this period. Many Starseeds struggle with these difficult feeling and agues throughout the year so I was asked by my cosmic ancestors to toss out some cards to seek some solutions. I was surprised by what emerged and ask that you remember that my truth might not be your truth but you should consider this message as from the heart of the Elohim who brought it.
Happy Chinese New Year of the Metal Rat
Wow people. Metal Rat is here to share wonders and magic. It is going to be a transformative year packed with fresh energies. If your not sure of your sign I’ve added some years below as a guide but please bear in mind that people born late January or early February will need to look up the exact date of the New Year Moon for their birth year to be certain of their sign. I’ve had such fun reading all these and if you like them then leave a comment below for on my YouTube channel and I’m sure I could be encouraged to cast cards for these every new moon. I often want to watch videos on my Chinese Horoscope but there are so few to enjoy online. So if you want to see more let me know.
I’ve recorded them all but I’m having a problem uploading them. There’s been no signal in my studio and the internet where I’m staying is so slow each video would take several hours! I know crazy. So I’m having to go outside and sit in the freezing cold park to access the 4G network here and then rush back inside to charge my phone before returning to the park again.

Hi Russell, I love these readings! I’m a monkey…and deflated is a word I’ve been using about my last year…but after listening to this reading, I was in a circumstance where my bubble really got popped! DEFLATED. ha ha … after crying for a day or two, I just had to laugh. Bring on the solstice!!Thank you.
That’s odd I thought I’d approved this and replied but it must have not completed the action. I’m glad to hear you’re setting intentions towards the solstice to bring about changes
