I expected this month's energy update to come through in audio or video format, but every time I thought about recording these messages, something felt off about it. This month's energy update is meant to be delivered in writing.
Here's a quick overview of the month:
February 5 - Full Moon in Leo (16 degrees), Venus squares Mars
February 11 - Mercury enters Aquarius
February 18 - Sun enters Pisces
February 20 - New Moon in Pisces (1 degree), Venus enters Aries
On the surface, February's energy is much more uneventful than that of recent months. However, with all planets in direct motion for the entirety of February, this means that a lot of time and energy will be spent moving things forward, getting things done, and focusing on our physical world.
This can feel like a huge sigh of relief after the intense introspection and reflection we've been doing over the last several months. Finally we get to look straight forward, allow the seas of the past to part, and move confidently forward.
I'll tell you now: with all that's been stirred up lately, I'm definitely enjoying it.
It's interesting as someone who is typically consumed with the spiritual, the unseen and the etheric to feel so comforted by the physical world. This is exactly what the energy of February feels like to me.
Sometimes we need to take a step back from all the inner work, all the thinking and feeling and striving to simply be.
As I write this, it makes a lot of sense to me why this month didn't feel like the right time for a lengthy spoken update.
This is a time to nourish ourselves, to take a step back from what we've done before and move boldly into the new that has been calling us — the new we've been preparing for all this time.
There is nothing left to fix, nothing left to analyze, nothing left to figure out.
We've done the reflection. Now we get to be present and enjoy this moment before the next one comes around.
We're still in Aquarius season, but I can already feel the intensity of the Pisces energy pouring in — this is my birth month, after all. Somehow it feels comforting to allow the formlessness of this moment to linger, instead of trying to rush forward understanding it all.
Whatever is coming up for you, whatever feels unfinished or uncertain or unclear — lean into it now.
If it's not clear now, it's not meant to be yet. There is so much more coming for you.
The next few weeks will show any shifts in your path.
In the meantime, enjoy the simple things in life. Spend time with loved ones. Make a pot of soup. Cuddle up in your favorite sweater. Drink hot tea. Laugh. Eat a scoop (or four) of your favorite ice cream.
Do you notice how many of these thoughts are food-related? I love to eat. :)
Everything will be clearer soon. This break is intentional. This break is meant for you to lean into it, to feel it fully, to embrace it and enjoy it, all the way through your being.
Can you feel it? Can you sink into it?
More astrology things are coming this month. For now, thanks for your willingness to sit here, to breathe with me, to read these words, to simply be.
This is a gift all in itself.
