Maybe it’s because it takes me an extra 10 minutes to put on all of the layers I need just to go outside (-30C here this morning 😳🥶), but time seems to be moving glacially these days.
The Christmas holidays are but a distant glimmer and Mother Nature now flexes her fierce winter muscles, forcing our pace to slow. Everything takes more time and effort and energy levels are already low.
Hold Your Horses 🐎🐴
Winter is a season to slow down, rest & replenish so that we are ready for the burst of activity that spring heralds, but this winter feels particularly torpid. I’d like to blame the weather, particularly the polar vortex we’re experiencing now, but I know we are also feeling the effects of the Cosmic Weather💫
Last week, along with my sister astrologer, Judy O, I had the pleasure of presenting to the Well Comm Network on the Astrology of 2025 & how best to use it to maximize timing opportunities in business.
Here’s the bird’s eye view of the year’s Astrological themes:
Q1:Slow start, introspective energy with Mars, Venus & Mercury Retrogrades
Q2:New beginnings as outer planets shift signs, lots of Aries fire🔥
Q3:Momentum is building, opportunity presents itself with Jupiter in Cancer ♋️
Q4:Revisit & revise old cycles, as the outer planets retrograde back to their prior signs to wrap up unfinished business 💼
Slow Doesn’t Mean Stop 🛑
Things may be a tough slog at the moment, but keep going! Use the energy now to reflect on what you hope to create with the “fresh start” energy coming in Q2.
Specifically, reflect on these journaling prompts which Judy & I shared last week:
Where do you want a fresh start in life?
What new things are emerging for you, personally & professionally?
How can others help you foster this new growth?
What loose ends do you need to wrap up?
Where are you feeling the most passion & motivation now?
No Rest For The Wicked 🧙
Well, that’s not really true😝Rest enables us to maintain a steady pace, even when we’re walking uphill through snow😮💨❄️The break I enjoyed in December has made it possible for some mid-winter bustle.
What About Me? 🙋🏻♀️
There is a bigger astrological story unfolding for all of us, but these energies also have a more personal impact depending on what area of our chart is activated.
Book a 2025 Year Ahead Reading to find out how best to engage with the energy, as well as the timing of these cycles.
The time is ALWAYS right to rise into healthy, thriving connections, so if 2025 is the year you finally invite in the relationship you deserve, let’s talk.
Let’s turn relationship struggles into clarity & connection so that you can heal and get the love you deserve!💖
Stay warm, surrender to the winter flow and soften into the stillness of this season☃️
Wishing you love, light and peace 🕊️
