I love how different cultures and spiritual traditions honor different holidays and cycles. This month for example, witches celebrated Imbolc, representing the first glimpse of spring, and next week we welcome a new Lunar year according to Chinese astrology. Speaking of astrology, some schools of thought consider the start of Pisces season (coming soon) as the end of the year, making way for the start of a new year with Aries season. There are so many wonderful paths to choose from, or you can honor them all in your own way. I can feel the shifts as we close certain chapters to make way for new possibilities.
Things are coming to an end but we’re not quite yet in a new beginning; this is a liminal space. You might be transitioning in a macro way; moving careers or homes for example. Or the changes might feel more subtle, like wanting to change your outward appearance or health habits. Either way, the ground feels unsteady right now. The planets are shifting–trying to find how to fit together, though some may want to take up more space than others. And down here we feel the tension of the power struggle–a temporary discomfort as we all find our place in the Universe. But Spirit says not to worry–this space is temporary as are all things. You may not see the way forward or out of a struggle, but clarity will soon come. Some of you may have to take tiny steps forward, even though the way is foggy–trust that you are being guided. When in doubt, stop to get your bearings–just remember that you have more power and authority than you think.
Beginning of the week:
How does the student eventually become the master? Through preparation of course. You may be grappling with a lot of ideas and/or opinions at this time–there might be a sense of false confidence within you, as you feel excited to start something new. Or possibly excited to jump into something. Spirit says you’re not quite ready for this task, but you will be soon enough, as long as you prepare for the journey ahead. Temper your creativity and ideas with action, and in this case the action you need is doing some research. This is a moment for seeking guidance and information, to help you move forward with confidence.
Some of you need to detach from a project you’ve been working on–you might be too invested on the outcomes. Give your creation space to breathe and grow so you can get a better grasp of its purpose in your life.
Some of you may be facing a bit of tension with an energetic child. Something about this challenge will remind you of something from your own childhood–this is a full circle moment for healing. Consider handling this challenge in the way you wish your adults would’ve when you were that age.
Middle of the week:
Has it ever happened to you that just when you think all is lost, a blessing appears out of nowhere? I’ve had this happen to me many times over, and this is one of the main reasons why I’m so curious about the spiritual–the unseen forces at play in our lives. Spirit says to not despair over troubles you can’t see your way out of–there are solutions. Zoom out from this challenge; breathe and surrender. This problem will get closer to being resolved once you can let go a little. Believe it or not, a gift is on the way to you–something that will seem like a miracle.
Spirit would like you to focus on your breathing. Breath is life, and it connects us to all there is. You can find many breathwork videos online; choose something grounding and calming when in the face of troubles. There’s no need to worry dear one! All is being taken care of.
End of the week:
You may soon be connecting with an ally in a position of power who can help you out of the pickle you’re in. Whatever challenges you are facing are not meant to be solved on your own. In fact, if you are dealing with any kind of issues that require professional support (such as legal or medical help) please get on this quickly. But I get the sense that you will be referred or guided to this person in someway–keep your ears, heart, and mind open!
Some of you will greatly benefit from legal advice or starting some kind of case–basically handing over this problem to someone who is equipped to handle it.
Some of you are being guided to ask for extra help around the house with chores or errands. Take back your time and energy and invest in someone who can help you with these tasks, or do them for you. I remember the first time I invested $30 in paying for someone to wash, dry, and fold my laundry. I felt such ease at having someone else handle this task, and then it felt so good to enjoy my time relaxing while someone else did the work. It’s a win-win–someone gets paid to work for you while you get to actually enjoy your time off.
