YEAR OF THE HORSE:

If your birthday is before February 4, then your astrological sign is Snake, not Horse.
Horse can run very fast. Without a guide on its back, Horse doesn’t know where it should go. The Dragon in the heavens can be a good guide for the Horse. Following the advice of Dragon, Horse can take off and become a Dragon-Horse. In general, Horse people should have good luck in career and money area in 2012. In Chinese astrology, Dragon contains mainly Earth. Horse contains mainly Fire. Fire can produce Earth. They can get along and won’t fight each other. But Horse will become weak when Dragon is around. 2012 is a year for Dragon to show itself off. Horse people need to act as a supporting character. Horse people will do well in the year of Dragon just by following Dragon’s wisdom and guidance.

Career: A lucky star related to career comes to Horse people in 2012. Horse people should take advantage of this opportunity to pursue career advancement or expansion. But you still have to keep your profile low and follow your leader or mentor. Then you will have good chance for a promotion, as long as you can manage your current business well. Since a Lonely Star appears in the Dragon year, therefore, you should increase your social activities, do more communication with upper and lower channels and build a stronger network. This way, your job will be easier when your position faces more responsibility and challenge.

Money: A lucky star related to money arrives to Horse people in 2012. In general, Horse people will have a stable fixed income in the Dragon year. It’s fine to make some financial investment, but you don’t have windfall luck. Gambling, short-term, or risky investments are not recommended. There is sign of that money comes and goes. Horse people still need money management to watch their financial balance. Otherwise, you will have trouble increasing your wealth or saving extra earnings. It’s a year of money opportunity. Horse people need to run faster to gain more. Horse people will have nothing without running.

Love: No Romantic Star appears in the year of Dragon to Horse people. There is no conflict between Dragon and Horse. The people in relationships are fine. However, there is a Lonely Star coming in 2012. When dealing with your love relationship, you cannot push your partner to spend more time with you. If you ask your lover too many requests, that will hurt the relationship. It’s time to maintain the relationship, not to seek for a closer one. If you are single, you need to attend more social activities. You will have more chances to find a new relationship if you network and get help from friends or mentors. Remember that a good relationship always takes time to develop.

Health:There is an Unlucky Star showing in health area. That’s a sign of injury. Therefore, Horse people need to pay attention the safety at work, to drive carefully on the road and to avoid conflict with strangers. Also, if Horse people have physical fights with others or do dangerous sports (like mountain climbing, car racing, diving, ski or even riskier activities), it might cause a bloody injury. Some fortunetellers suggest that doing a blood donation or teeth cleaning will help people escape accidents or injuries. Also, Horse people shouldn’t ignore their health in 2012. Otherwise, a hospital door is opening for you.

YEAR OF THE MONKEY:

If your birthday is before February 4, then your astrological sign is Sheep, not Monkey.

In Chinese astrology, Dragon contains mainly Earth. Monkey contains mainly Metal. Earth is the Mother Element of Metal. Earth Dragon can cover and protect Metal Monkey. When Monkey meets Dragon, they have some attraction relationship. Therefore, Monkey will have very good luck in 2012. Monkey people will have good people relationship, career opportunity, money luck and love relationship in the Dragon year. The only unlucky sign is the White Tiger Star that appears in health area. As long as Monkey people take care their body well, the year of Dragon will be a wonderful year for them.

Career: Since Monkey and Dragon have very close relationship, Monkey people’s career networking is kind of nice and they won’t have too much trouble and pressure at work. Business development will be easy to get success working with partners. Monkey is a smart animal. Also, there is an Intelligent Star showing in this year. Monkey people can come up with lots of good ideas to others, finish complicated assignments, and earn respect from people. Monkey people better not get dizzy with success. If you show your arrogance, people will push you to a corner and you will become lonely.

Money: Good people relationship can bring all the money opportunity for Monkey people in 2012. In general, you will have a stable fixed income and your investment will have a good return. If you own the business, then it’s time to plan for expansion or a new investment. However, any successful big investment is required careful and thorough planning. If you neglect any step, you still have a chance of money loss. This is because that the fierce White Tiger Star is watchful on Monkey during the Dragon year. Therefore, if you want to gain more, then a dangerous venture is unavoidable. If you don’t take any action, then you will miss the golden opportunity.

Love: The love relationship for Monkey people will go well in 2012, because Monkey and Dragon have some attraction relationship, especially during the Rat month, which is December. If you are single, then you should attend more social events, then you will have a chance to find your soul mate this year. If you are in love, then you can try on a closer and deeper relationship, even a marriage. But if you are married, then you have to watch something or someone around bothering your love relationship. If anything happens, then you have to be patient in communication and understanding to find a solution to remove the problem so you won’t lose the happiness of marriage.

Health: The White Tiger Star of 212 implies a sign of injury. Therefore, The health of Monkey people in year of Dragon is below average. Monkey people are not only caring about their health, but also the health of all their family members. They should avoid any physical fighting, dangerous sports, rigorous activities, and even unsafe traveling to prevent from bloody injury. Focusing on driving is important too, because the White Tiger Star is connected to accidents. If you are careful about the issue, you can avoid misfortune. If you neglect the danger, then the hardship will come to you.

Be our intercessor and advocate
at the hour of death and judgment;
deliver us from the fire
that is not extinguished
and from the outer darkness;
make us worthy of the glory of thy Son,
O dearest and most clement Virgin Mother.
Thou indeed art our only hope most sure
and sacred in God’s sight,
to Whom be honor and glory and majesty and dominion
for ever and ever world without end. Amen.

(As told by a priest to his congregation in Canada) We may as well heed this advice!!!

Remember you have entered into the house of God for the purpose of prayer, adoration, reflection, or to celebrate a sacrament. Now is not the time to talk to your friends, but to talk to God. Please do not bring in any cups of coffee!

In order to help you enter into a sacred space we ask you to remember:

1. Turn off cell phones. Do not text messages or check your Facebook account from the pews or the back of the church. Leave your social media devices in the car or at home. It’s time to focus on God. It’s distracting for others who are trying to pray. If you are waiting for an important phone call, consider going to mass at another time. Cameras, likewise should be left in the car, unless you are coming for a tour of the church and you have checked with the tour guide.

2. Do not chew gum during mass or put it in your side cheek, to chew on it later. Spit it out before entering into a church. Did you know that you are supposed to be prayerfully fasting for an hour before mass? There is a possibility that if you keep the gum in your mouth and resume chewing after receiving the Eucharist, you may unintentionally spit out a bit of the body of Jesus. That would be sacrilegious.

3. Dress with dignity for Mass. It seems that many women, many girls in this day and age have a need to always have a ‘sexy’ look. Mass is not a cocktail party. Mass is not a hockey arena. Come dressed with decorum, an aura of dignity. Consider teaching your children the different types of dress are important for different ocasions. For everything there is a time. Please remember to dress modestly and ensure sure your daughters do , too. Bare shoulders and visible bra straps are not a good idea. They are highly distracting.

4. Do not bring children’s activity bags, granola bars, cheerio’s, juice boxes, water bottles, toys including a child’s DS, play station, game boy, iPod touch or similar types of amusements to church. Mass is only one hour long. Children would grow in virtue if their parents expected them to detach from these things for at least an hour a week. For little toddlers there are beautiful series of little Catholic books. There are plastic rosaries or books about saints. Immerse your children in spiritual treasures during mass.

5. Parents have a duty give their children ongoing, on the job training, all the time. That includes the obligation to train their children in the appropriate times to kneel, sit, stand and face the altar. If children are engaged in playing with toys, eating, and drinking, they are surely not being taught about the fact that Jesus is really up there on the altar, significance of prayer, self control, and the importance of participating in the mass. Parents themselves get distracted with managing the dispensing of food and toys. On top of that it is a distraction to others in the pews who are hungry themselves, or who are trying to fully participate in mass.

6. Do not drink bottled water in a house of worship. If an adult, for some reason needs to drink water to take some medication, please leave the church premises or at least the mass and drink the water, if you must outside the celebration of the Eucharist.

7. If you are late for mass, please do not walk down the aisles looking for a seat until it’s appropriate. You are disrupting others. The Toronto Symphony does not allow late comers to waltz in at ‘whatever’ time. Church ushers should be trained to enforce this. Please do not leave mass before it ends. You will be missing the supernatural graces of the final blessing. Besides it’s a bad example for your kids

8. Do not be an observer of the mass, but a participator. Don’t ask yourself, ‘What is this mass doing for me?” Instead, ask yourself, ‘What can I do to participate in the mass more fully?” Make an effort to listen, follow the readings, the homily, read scripture passages before mass, learn the prayers of the mass, follow along in the misslette and sing! You will become an outstanding role model for your kids.

9. Do not have conversations during the mass. You would never have a conversation, during a performance of the symphony. If you did, you would be asked to correct your behaviour or leave. Quite simply it’s rude.

10. It might be useful to ask ourselves, Who am I? Why am I here? The answers: To know God, to love him and serve Him especially at Mass!

ENJOY in the LORD’S presence during the Eucharist Celebraion.

And may I add the following:

As you enter the House God, take some holy water provided at the entrance and sign yourself with the following words: May the holy waters of baptism, bless me, wash me clean and make me whole, In the Name of the Father and of The Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Before entering your pew, genuflect before The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, saying I bown down before you and adore you most Holy Trinity; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. At the end of the Mass, after a brief period of thanksgiving prayer, before exiting the pew say: Thank you Abba Father, thank you Lord Jesus and thank you Holy Spirit for permitting me to be so long in your holy presence and for all the blessings you have showered upon me and this congregation.

God Bless you all.
