FEBRUARY 2023

This month is full of anxiety and stress for many. This is due to unexpected changes in situations that previously seemed fixed and certain. It is not wise to attempt to avoid the changes, rather it is most useful to focus on strategies to adapt to them. Because we are still in the energetic “threshold” of transition from last year to this year, the choices we make at this time will set the tone for the rest of the year. This means we can either amplify resistance to what we cannot change, or we can amplify adaptation.  There will also be a pattern for many of us this month of manipulation from male or masculine parties. This is especially true in romantic love and career and money. For this reason, it is necessary to be discerning in dealings with masculine energy. A final trend for some of us this month is confronting our willingness to participate in the physical plane, in a physical body. There are various mechanisms a person might use to escape the pain that comes – alongside pleasure – with being in physical form. A couple of common examples are addiction (food, substance, sex, etc.) or attaching to negative feeling states. While this is certainly not the case for everyone, it is possible that for many of us our challenges exist or are exacerbated because we are not fully comfortable in our physical experience. For those of us for whom this is the case, we may be required to confront that within ourselves this month.

LOVE & ROMANCE: A new love opportunity may be around the corner. Be sure you are prepared, as self-sabotage has the potential to be a threat to the relationship. Ancestors, both benevolent and ill-intended, are very curious and active in romantic love right now. Practice discernment in which ancestors you permit to directly – or indirectly – influence your choices.

SPIRITUALITY: Nature-based spiritual practices are more helpful this month than practices that rely on “other world” or celestial narratives. This may include working with herbs, honoring deities or spirits associated with nature, or traveling to a sacred geographical location. Ancestors will also be showing themselves to us this month, as they continue to have an investment in their living family members and lineage.

FAMILY: As with last month, sibling dynamics are in the forefront of family matters. However, this month an emphasis is on protection - particularly of younger siblings by older siblings (or siblings who have more authority for any reason).

CAREER & MONEY: A promotion of some sort is possible in the short term. Charming your boss or supervisor in appropriate ways is beneficial at this time. This is also a good time to pay or request payment for any outstanding debts. Generally, at the moment, it is not useful to be passive in your financial life.

HEALTH: As with last month, eating foods that promote grounding and a strong relationship with the physical plane is useful. This may include root vegetables, red meat, or eggs, depending on what your diet allows. Visiting natural lakes or the ocean will also assist with grounding. Other sources of support are B-vitamins, wearing black or dark red, carrying obsidian or tourmaline gemstones, and journaling.
