*A Celestial Goodbye to 2025: When the Moon Meets the Seven Sisters ✨🌙*

As the final hours of 2025 slip away, the sky offers a moment of beauty far older and calmer than any fireworks. On New Year’s Eve, turn your eyes upward for a graceful cosmic encounter in the winter sky.

The glowing Moon will drift remarkably close to the Pleiades star cluster, famously known as the Seven Sisters. In ancient legend, the sisters were lifted into the heavens and transformed into stars, shining together forever. Seeing them beside the Moon on the very last night of the year feels like a quiet blessing—an invitation to step into the new year with peace and wonder.

📅 *When:* Night of December 31, 2025
👀 *Where:* Find the bright Moon; the small, dipper-shaped cluster of blue stars will appear nearby
🔭 *Tip:* Binoculars will help! The Moon’s brightness can wash out the stars, but binoculars will make the sisters sparkle beautifully

In the no man's land that is time between holidays, it can feel ungrounded for children. The urge might be to get them right back on their routines, but this time of breaking from the regular is so powerful!

Mother Nature can help give them a reference point for integration and slowing down this experience.

During this liminal time, invite children to:

- Find a pine tree to connect to, showing them that life persists
- Pick a rosehip, modeling how to find beauty when it doesn't seem like there is any
- Show them that when all the leaves fall, it can help them see through to places they might not have seen before
- Explain that in the Northern Hemisphere the light is lengthening every day, and that sometimes it still seems incredibly dark, but that we have to TRUST, without proof, that the hard times will pass.

There's so many more, but this is a great start.

Remember, Mother Nature is here to help us process and grow and to return that wisdom back into ourselves and ultimately the collective.

So much love to you in the in-between.

Yours,

Nicolette Sowder

After Europe banned bee killing neonicotinoid pesticides, insect numbers began to recover across farmland.

That rebound restored food webs, and insect eating birds long in decline started returning. Protect one species, and entire ecosystems respond.

As the Heroine moves on through her life and through whatever new Journeys may come, the time will come to work on becoming Elder.

The word ‘elder’, of course, can mean many things. The Elder may be fierce, eccentric, wild; she may be the Trickster energy that sets about disrupting the status quo.

She may also (or later) represent the deep, restful dark: the slow sinking back into the quietness within that is arguably one of the greatest gifts of extreme old age.

To a woman of the Celtic nations, to become Elder is above all to become Cailleach: to represent the integrity and health of the wild places and creatures of this world.

To become Elder is to become strong – strong as the white old bones of the earth, strong enough to endure the long, lonely vigil to the end of the world.

To become Elder is to hold the power, stay the course.

Above all, to become Elder is to become the bean feasa, the Wise Woman: the one who knows the secrets and speaks the languages of the land, who speaks with the moral authority of the Otherworld, who weaves the dreaming of the world.
