Honoring the Wisdom of January:
Nurturing the Power of Desired Intentions, Reflection, Connection and Emotional Well-being
January welcomes us with the promise of soulful growth and expansion. It provides us with a blank canvas every year to create our own unique masterpiece. To begin this creative journey, we must understand the desires that fuel our creative energy, bringing joy and passion into our lives. But first, let’s explore the unique energy that January offers, setting it apart from other months.
January, as the first month of true winter, embodies the essence of introspection and hibernation. It is a time when we experience the depth and transformative power of wintering. Wintering is not simply enduring the cold and darkness; it is a deliberate retreat into stillness and reflection. It is an opportunity to nourish our souls, replenish our energies, and reconnect with our innermost selves. Just as nature withdraws and prepares for new growth beneath the surface, we too can embrace the quietude of winter to cultivate resilience, introspection, and personal growth. January invites us to appreciate the beauty and wisdom of wintering, finding solace in its serenity, and uncovering the hidden treasures within ourselves.
Capricorn energy plays a significant role in the transformational nature of January. As the zodiac sign associated with discipline, practicality, and ambition, Capricorn brings grounding and focus to the beginning of the year. This energy encourages us to reflect on our goals, set intentions aligned with our deepest desires, and take practical steps towards their manifestation. Capricorn energy reminds us to be responsible and committed to our personal growth, allowing us to embrace the transformative potential that January offers.
One celestial event that signals the start of the year is the upcoming new moon in Capricorn on January 11th, at 6:57 am EST. Known for its grounding and practical energy, this new moon provides an opportunity to set intentions that align with our long-term goals and ambitions. It prompts us to reflect on our desires, evaluate our aspirations, and take the necessary steps to manifest them. Exploring the meaning of this new moon and harnessing its power can help us set powerful intentions that resonate with our souls.
The element of water also influences our energy during this time of year. In Chinese philosophy, water is believed to be at its strongest during winter, exerting its transformative properties on our lives. Water offers valuable insights for integration, representing qualities of flow, adaptability, and wisdom. As nature’s energy slows down and becomes more yin during winter, embracing the water element can guide us through this introspective period with grace. Integrating the water element involves cultivating fluidity in our lives, welcoming change, and adjusting to shifting circumstances. It encourages us to embrace the current, release rigidity, and tap into our inner wisdom to find the path of least resistance. By harmonizing with the energy of winter through the water element, we foster a sense of peace, balance, and clarity within ourselves.
When it comes to health and wellness, embracing the water element philosophy during winter can be regenerative. It reminds us to prioritize self-care practices that nourish our bodies, minds, and spirits. Just as water replenishes and purifies, we can focus on hydration to support our physical well-being. Drinking ample water, herbal teas, and consuming hydrating foods like soups and stews can help maintain balance and vitality. Additionally, incorporating relaxation practices such as warm baths, gentle yoga, and meditation can calm the mind and alleviate winter-related stress or fatigue. Embracing the water element also encourages us to honor our emotions and engage in practices like journaling or therapy to process and release stagnant feelings. By integrating these self-care practices aligned with the water element, we enhance our overall well-being, promote inner harmony, and deepen our connection with ourselves during the winter season.
Tuning into the energy of winter is not a new concept. In fact, ancient religions and pagans throughout history attached great significance to the winter season. They believed that it was a time when profound spiritual experiences could manifest. Our ancestors, driven by their yearning, embraced sacred rituals and practices to navigate the enigmatic darkness and find solace within the embrace of winter. They recognized that winter held the key to an introspective journey, a transformative path, and a profound connection with the unseen realms. Their wisdom encompassed the intricate dance of nature’s cycle, where the dormant period of winter served as a necessary prelude to the rebirth and renewal that would blossom forth in spring.
Today, we have the opportunity to merge our modern lives with these ancient traditions, embracing the spiritual essence of winter. Through deliberate rituals that honor stillness and encourage reflection, such as meditation, candlelight ceremonies, or the creation of altars adorned with winter symbolism, we invite the desires within our souls to manifest. By engaging in walks amidst the crisp winter air, forging a connection with nature, or participating in earth-centered practices, we deepen our appreciation for natural rhythms and restore harmonious balance within ourselves. By integrating these age-old practices into our contemporary lives, we unlock the hidden mysteries of winter and find wisdom, renewal, and spiritual growth during this enchanting season of manifestation. Winter, with its serene beauty and hushed whispers, invites us
One of the beautiful stories that personifies the essence of winter is the Greek myth of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone:
Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, searches relentlessly for Persephone after she is abducted by Hades, god of the underworld. Demeter’s grief over her missing daughter leads the earth to become barren, prompting Zeus to intervene to negotiate Persephone’s release.
Persephone returns to Demeter each spring, bringing fertility and joy back to the land. However, she must spend a portion of each year in the underworld due to the spell Hades held over her. Demeter’s unwavering love fuels her determination to be reunited with her daughter, despite the cyclical pain of separation during the winter months.
The myth beautifully captures themes of connection, love, strength, and bravery. Demeter’s unwavering quest for her daughter demonstrates tremendous courage in the midst of grief. It serves as a reminder that we all face our own winters in life. The story also symbolizes the cyclical nature of life, with Persephone’s time in the underworld representing winter and her return signifying the rebirth of spring and summer. Ultimately, this metaphor deepens our appreciation for the power of love and courage in overcoming challenges and connecting with those we hold most dear.
As we step into the canvas of January, we are presented with an opportunity for soulful growth, connection, and creative expression. The unique energy of this month, influenced by wintering, Capricorn energy, and the element of water, invites us to embrace stillness, reflection, and adaptability. It encourages us to set intentions aligned with our desires, nurture our well-being, and cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves and the natural world. Just as Demeter’s unwavering love and Persephone’s cyclical journey symbolize the enduring bond between a mother and daughter, we too can tap into the strength, love, and bravery within us to create our own masterpieces and manifest our desires. As we navigate the depths of winter, let’s be filled with the knowledge that within the quietude and serenity lies the potential for profound growth, renewal, and the realization of our dreams.

Discover Your Inner Wisdom: A Beginner’s Guide to Intuition and Feeling Your Vibes
In astrological terms, this is the start of a new year. We go from the heavenly and spiritual energy of Pisces; the slow watery sign that dreams and imagines, that is not so tied to this earthly plane as it is to the next, and lives half beyond the veil, to the Aries’ abrupt, rising, warrior energy.
Most of the ancient and modern astrologers agree that the year’s wheel is a metaphor to the lifecycle. We start out as babies with the high intensive energy of Aries, and make our way until we are in our later years (i.e. months) with the ending of the year in the wise, twinkling and elder spirit of Pisces.
The Aries temperament is similar to a young child’s in that it is fresh and vibrant, it has no fear, it goes after what it wants, it cries when it doesn’t get it -but- gets right back up again! This temperament may get angry, however, Aries has taught us to use that anger for production, and never to hold onto it.
…There are various other cultures and traditions that attach characteristics, emotions, energy, colors, and, even, taste and sounds to these transitional times. But, the majority would agree that this is the most impactful time of year, full of metamorphoses and change: the time leaving winter and entering spring. The opposition of these two seasonal energies create a vortex of possibilities in each of our lives…

“Find Your Why and You Will Find Your Way”
It’s so important to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what FILLS YOUR CUP and keeps your heart smiling, even when stress is out of control and sh*t hits the fan. It’s times like these , we get thrown off track, get hit from the side, lose the wind from our sails. Too many of these blows, can knock us down for the count. But there is always a way to get back up. And sometimes that means finding your true north, seeing what is important and going the distance. Getting back up means getting in touch with your ‘WHY’

2022 taught me a lot. It was tougher than I thought it would be , wasn’t it?? After all we’d been through in 2020 & 2021 most of us thought 2022 would be a walk in the park. But honestly- I don’t know anyone who felt that was.
The world was maybe only very slightly calmer- at least from my perspective- but my inner landscape was vexed. Things came up , situations changed, and topsy -turvy feelings became the norm. And this was the universal sentiment that seemed to rock our worlds- both outer and inner but mostly the former.
There were some larger energetic shifts that impacted us all,but, regardless of that, we all felt the awareness that there was still work to be done. This made me realize: sometimes things happen at their own speed, in their own due time. I am not in control, even as much as I wish I was, or as much as I try working hard to be. I can’t force anything- life can change and impact us -on a macro or micro scale – at any moment. It just is what it is….
And now I truly get that. My son having difficulties has really shown me how we can’t force things to happen. He is going at his own pace, not one imposed upon by me. He is doing the best he can. All I can do is pray, set intentions and ask for help when I need it. BUT I can’t force him on any level to go any faster to do any “better” even though my WILL, my ego might want him to.I need to be in the FLOW. The flow of my outer life and unexpected circumstances that may arise, as well as my inner life- flowing with my feelings, thoughts, passions and purpose- as well as my shadow side.

What do Geraldo, Poop, the iPhone & Meditation have in Common?
Our thoughts are a function of our brain. Some thoughts are good and useful to us, and some are not. WE are the LISTENER of our thoughts. I know this is a bit confusing but here’s the deal -we hear our thoughts. We are our consciousness – we are our soul- we are our inner knowing but we are not our thoughts – they are only a function of our brain.

We go from the heavenly and spiritual energy of Pisces; the slow watery sign that dreams and imagines, that is not so tied to this earthly plane as it is to the next, and lives half beyond the veil, to the Aries’ abrupt, rising, warrior energy.
Most of the ancient and modern astrologers agree that the year’s wheel is a metaphor to the lifecycle. We start out as babies with the high intensive energy of Aries, and make our way until we are in our later years (i.e. months) with the ending of the year in the wise, twinkling and elder spirit of Pisces.
The Aries temperament is similar to a young child’s in that it is fresh and vibrant, it has no fear, it goes after what it wants, it cries when it doesn’t get it -but- gets right back up again! This temperament may get angry, however, Aries has taught us to use that anger for production, and never to hold onto it.
…There are various other cultures and traditions that attach characteristics, emotions, energy, colors, and, even, taste and sounds to these transitional times. But, the majority would agree that this is the most impactful time of year, full of metamorphoses and change: the time leaving winter and entering spring. The opposition of these two seasonal energies create a vortex of possibilities in each of our lives…

“Find Your Why and You Will Find Your Way”
It’s so important to KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what FILLS YOUR CUP and keeps your heart smiling, even when stress is out of control and sh*t hits the fan. It’s times like these , we get thrown off track, get hit from the side, lose the wind from our sails. Too many of these blows, can knock us down for the count. But there is always a way to get back up. And sometimes that means finding your true north, seeing what is important and going the distance. Getting back up means getting in touch with your ‘WHY’
to me
Word of the year: FLOW
2022 taught me a lot. It was tougher than I thought it would be , wasn’t it?? After all we’d been through in 2020 & 2021 most of us thought 2022 would be a walk in the park. But honestly- I don’t know anyone who felt that was.
The world was maybe only very slightly calmer- at least from my perspective- but my inner landscape was vexed. Things came up , situations changed, and topsy -turvy feelings became the norm. And this was the universal sentiment that seemed to rock our worlds- both outer and inner but mostly the former.
There were some larger energetic shifts that impacted us all,but, regardless of that, we all felt the awareness that there was still work to be done. This made me realize: sometimes things happen at their own speed, in their own due time. I am not in control, even as much as I wish I was, or as much as I try working hard to be. I can’t force anything- life can change and impact us -on a macro or micro scale – at any moment. It just is what it is….
And now I truly get that. My son having difficulties has really shown me how we can’t force things to happen. He is going at his own pace, not one imposed upon by me. He is doing the best he can. All I can do is pray, set intentions and ask for help when I need it. BUT I can’t force him on any level to go any faster to do any “better” even though my WILL, my ego might want him to.I need to be in the FLOW. The flow of my outer life and unexpected circumstances that may arise, as well as my inner life- flowing with my feelings, thoughts, passions and purpose- as well as my shadow side.

What do Geraldo, Poop, the iPhone & Meditation have in Common?
Our thoughts are a function of our brain. Some thoughts are good and useful to us, and some are not. WE are the LISTENER of our thoughts. I know this is a bit confusing but here’s the deal -we hear our thoughts. We are our consciousness – we are our soul- we are our inner knowing but we are not our thoughts – they are only a function of our brain.
