Welcome to Pisces 🐟 Season: a deep dive before spring arrives

Pisces season is an invitation to swim the waters of our emotions, connect to our intuition and rediscover our creativity.

Pisces season reminds us of the power of reflection. Here lies the beauty of confronting fears and embracing dreams, so that we may feel open and free in the upcoming Spring. This year, Pisces season brings the chance to work alongside a Mercury Retrograde (Feb 26 - March 20), a Lunar Eclipse and the last new moon in the astrological year... all major opportunities to decipher mixed signals in our lives and to welcome change and illumination.

Here are some ways to honor Pisces season:

🐟 Bring in intuitive practices.
Think about when you feel connected to your inner knowing or gut feelings. Is it being in nature, journaling, meditating, exercise? Those things can help you tune in.
🐟 Let your creativity flow.
How do you express yourself? Maybe through a hobby or speaking or the way you dress... consider how your creativity manifests.
🐟 Work with the lunar eclipse in Virgo (Tues, March 3)
During Pisces season, we have a lunar eclipse. A powerful check-in point to reflect on themes of release and renewal. Try journaling under this moon.
🐟 Tune into new moon energy (March 19)
This season also brings the last new moon of the astrological year. A beautiful moment for reflection and interconnection. Take time to meditate and contemplate.

This season invites us to honor what is ending and release what no longer serves us preparing to emerge renewed and ready for a fresh start.

The story of Lupercalia and Valentine's Day

Valentine's day may indeed have more ancient origins than the feast of Saint Valentine, a martyred saint, who so many of us associate with the history of this holiday. Some historians believe February's holiday developed from a Pre-Roman and Roman festival of fertility and celebration called Lupercalia.

Though no one knows when Lupercalia began, fragments have been found in history books as far back as the 6th century BC. Historians note that the roots of this wild festival took hold when the ancient and cruel King Amuliuis ordered his twin nephews to be thrown into the Tiber river to drown, the price of their mother's broken promise of celibacy, a Vestal Virgin, was the lives of her two infants. In some stories, their father was the God Mars himself.

At the last second, a servant feeling merciful and unable to murder these 2 young sons instead placed Romulus and Remus into a woven basket and sent them off down a river. The great river God saw what had happened and carried the two boys to safety down river, captured by the branches of a wild fig tree.

A she-wolf found the boys, rescued them from the basket, and kept them as her own in her den at the base of the hill, where Rome would be founded one day. After staying with the she-wolf and being nursed back to health, Romulus and Remus were discovered by a kind shepherd and his wife, where they grew into their manhood.

When they were old enough, they returned to the palace and killed the King for ordering their death and punishing their mother. After the deed had been done as they co-founded Rome, they returned to the den of the She-Wolf who saved them and gave her the name of Lupercal. Legend has it that Romulus and Remus created the festival of Lupercalia to honor the she-wolf and the roman fertility God Lupercas.

The festival was sometimes violent, sensual and sacrificial and took place during the month of February.

It included ritual sacrifices, random coupling (which may have led to love matches), nakedness and street drinking. This was done in the name of purification. These rights intended to banish any bad luck in Rome and call for prosperity and fertility in the year ahead.

During February, wolves in the wild begin to mate, and the year's energy moves towards fertility and spring. If you'd like to connect with this ancient ritual; consider your sensual energy, how you connect with your wildness and what rights of initiation you might modernize, and tend to as the wheel turns toward Spring. And then step outside and let out a howl. 🌙 🐺

At the end of the year I always feel pulled in 2 directions - Looking back & reaching forward. So before reaching forward... I want to look back.

I am inviting myself to slow down, reflect and recognize the quiet growth that has taken shape. I will not close 2025 with pressure, but with perspective.

Here's the thing about growth... It rarely looks the way we expect. Sometimes becoming your next self means doing less, saying no more often and finally releasing what you have outgrown.

As the year wraps up, I've been thinking less about resolutions and more about reflection. Instead of asking, what will I achieve next year? I've been asking, what did I become this past year?

I think one of the things I have realized this past year and really just these past couple months is that peace is more valuable than productivity. Becoming isn't about radical change. It 's about consistent alignment, small steps, subtle shifts, tiny moments of courage... that add up to a quieter kind of confidence.

So before I start planning my 2026 goals, I am taking a moment to honor the self that got me here. That's where real transformation begins.

Before I reset, I want to reflect ...
-What lessons from this year surprised me the most?
-What did I let go of and what space did that create?
-Who have I been becoming even when no one noticed?

I will do a quick 5min year end review. No pressure, no overthinking, just a quick reset to acknowledge what's real. Before I look ahead, I feel it's worth noticing what this past year taught me.

Do it with me! Grab a pen and open up a notebook... Ask yourself these three things-

❤️ What are three things I'm proud of this year? Big or small, progress counts.

❤️ What are three things I've released? Think about what you stopped carrying... old expectations, people pleasing, self doubt.

❤️ What are three things I want to carry forward? These are the practices, relationships or mindsets that made you feel most alive.

And that's it! No spreadsheets, no guilt, no slogans- just honest reflection, because clarity doesn't come from doing more - it comes from pausing long enough to see how far you've already come!

How is it December already?!?!

December's meaning represents unity and trust. A divine connection with success in all areas of life, as well as, challenges and commitments.

Here are some personal questions for reflection this month:

❄️ Where are you as we complete the end of the year?

❄️ Take a moment for yourself in this place where you are... take a personal and professional inventory of what you set out to do at the start of 2025 and what you've achieved.

❄️ Make note of what you've learned along the way. This marks movement and creates a range of experiences and abundant growth you'll use to take further action

December is...

🎄 A time of completion, of winding down what has been in motion

🎄 A time for an intimate connection with self and those in your inner circle

🎄 A time for celebration - holidays, festivals, parties

🎄 A time for planning and creating the year ahead

🎄 A time for transition from fall energy to winter energy

Remember the winter solstice is on Sunday, December 21st. It marks the shortest and darkest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.

Each year, the winter solstice falls a few days before Christmas. This isn't just a coincidence. In fact, there's a deeper meaning and symbolism found here. The spiritual and energetic significance of the winter solstice is multilayered, but the most direct relevance is that symbolizes the birth of the sun... which in Christian beliefs also represents the birth of Jesus.

The birth of these higher beings at this time of the solstice was symbolic of the birth of the spiritual sun and light within each of us. And in Christian belief, it is symbolic of being close to the Creator, as we are all his children.

Winter solstice is a metaphor for life and humanity, love and hope.

Day 13 of 13 Healthy Habits

13. Carve Out Time for Self-Care

We often regulate self-care to the back burner. However, making time for yourself can contribute to long-term mood elevation, reduced anxiety and better physical health.

Self-Care isn't about spa days or indulging in treats. It's about taking time to do activities that nourish you both emotionally and physically.

What you consider to be self-care will be unique to you. It can range from reading a book, engaging in physical exercise or enjoying a cup of herbal tea in silence.

Setting aside even 15 minutes is a small investment of time that pays large dividends in your overall well-being.

Gratitude is more than a feel-good buzzword. It's a habit that has been shown to improve mental health and overall well being. Setting aside time each day to acknowledge what you are thankful for can shift your focus away from what you feel you lack towards appreciating what you have! This simple act can lower stress levels, improve sleep quality and even boost your immune system.

Whether it's thinking a colleague for their help or simply appreciating a sunny day, the act of practicing gratitude can be a quick, effective way to bring positivity into your daily life.

Day 11 of 13 Healthy Habits

11. Take Micro-Breaks

Micro-Breaks are short, planned pauses, usually lasting no longer than five minutes, taken throughout the day to divert attention from monotonous or demanding tasks. Incorporating micro-breaks into your daily routine can help alleviate mental fatigue and enhance focus.

Step away from what you are doing to stretch, look out the window or breathe deeply. By allowing your brain to reset, micro-breaks contribute to greater productivity and less long term strain on your mental and physical well being.

Day 9 of 13 Healthy Habits

9. Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a powerful practice that can reduce stress, improve mental health and promote overall wellbeing. Dedicate a few minutes daily to mindfulness practices.

You can find guided sessions on youtube or there are many apps available. These short sessions will include meditation and simple breathing exercises to anchor you to the present.

If you are looking for something more in depth, reach out to me for a personal or small group sound healing session with a CertifiedSiund Healer.

Day 8 of 13 Healthy Habits

8. Spend Time in Nature

Nature has a remarkable ability to nurture our minds and bodies. Spending time outdoors and connecting with nature can improve cognitive function, reduce stress and boost overall mental health.

Get outside as often as you can, preferably several times a day. Whether going for a hike, taking a walk in the park or simply sitting in a garden immersing yourself in nature is the goal.

Day 7 of 13 Healthy Habits

7. Adopt a Growth Mindset

Keeping the brain active and engaged enhances its functionality and can delay cognitive decline. For example, devoting just thirty minutes a day to reading can have long term benefits for your brain health and stress reduction. Reading stimulates our minds, enhances cognitive function and reduces stress levels.

Another example is engaging in new hobbies. Hobbies are not only enjoyable, but also beneficial for stress reduction. Whether painting, playing a musical instrument or gardening, they provide a healthy outlet for your feelings.

Day 6 of 13 Healthy Habits

6. Socialize with Friends and Family

Humans thrive on social connection. Building and maintaining positive relationships can provide a sense of belonging and boost mental health and longevity. By prioritizing quality time with family and friends, engaging in meaningful conversations and participating in social activities, you can enhance your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Prioritize face to face interactions. Join clubs, attend workshops or simply engage in regular catch-ups with loved ones. If you feel disconnected from your people, reach out and ask to make plans. It's okay to ask for what you need.
