As of of the 4th February, according to the ancient wisdom of 9 Star Ki (the energetic divination system I work with in my 5 Element Face & Birthdate readings) we’ve entered a 1 Water 💧 Year and the beginning of a brand new 9 year cycle.
In the language of the 5 Elements, Water is the source.
It’s where life begins. Think about the baby gestating within its mother’s womb. 🤰
I’ve always loved Water Element energy because it doesn’t force or rush. It moves gently, yet carries immense depth and strength.
This year invites us to soften before we surge forward.
Water Element isn’t loud or pushy. it’s intuitive, reflective and deeply wise. Like the owl, it sees in the dark. It reminds us that true clarity comes when we slow down enough to listen, when we trust what’s quietly rising within us rather than searching outside ourselves for answers.
This 1 Water year invites us to:
💧 Trust our inner knowing.
💧 Honour rest as part of healing.
💧 Listen more deeply to ourselves and to life.
💧 Dream ‘big’ about what we would like to create and birth during this new 9 year cycle.
Rather than get caught up in a lot of ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’ energy, this 1 Water year is inviting us to reflect inwards about how we might like to begin again, guided by our Soul and its deeper wisdom.
Before action comes awareness.
Before clarity comes stillness.
Before movement comes depth.
As we collectively step into this new global cycle, I encourage you to tap into the powerful yet deeply intuitive energy of Water Element to guide you, to restore and nourish you, to calm your nervous system and to create space for something new to be born.
Some beautiful ways you can align yourself with the energy of Water Element is to be near or submerge yourself in water (think river, beach 🏝️, pool 🏊🏼 or bath 🛀), listen to gentle or ambient music 🎶 and meditate 🧘 more often.
This year isn’t about rushing ahead.
It’s truly about aligning from within.✨
Happy New 1 Water 💧 Year!
