As you all know, I’m a big believer in astrology and follow the moon,
So with today being a new moon, an eclipse and the Chinese new year, I was obviously excited. I love the symbolism and the feeling of fresh energy and new beginnings. I’m completely here for that part.
What I’m not here for is the fear that sometimes comes with it, the idea that if you wash your hair or do the wrong thing at the wrong time then your luck for the whole year is somehow ruined.
So today I went to the hairdressers, had my hair washed and cut, I cleaned my house (another big no no) and then put the bins out. Then, in what felt like very perfect timing, my money plant got knocked over and ended up all over the carpet with soil everywhere.
Have I jinxed myself? No I haven’t.
My future isn’t decided by a fallen plant or a broken superstition. It’s shaped by my energy, my beliefs, my choices, and the way I keep moving forward and that to me feels much more powerful.
This is the year of the horse, and I am fully here for that energy. Movement, momentum, freedom, and finally stepping out of feeling stuck. Moving forward with intention instead of sitting in the same place wondering what might change.
So I picked the plant up, brushed off the soil, gave it a bit of love, and carried on. That feels like a good way to begin a new year. And I love my hair.
Happy Chinese New Year. May this be the year you move forward too, with belief, courage, and a little more trust in yourself.
