Feminine energy is rising: New Year of the Wood Dragon
We are now asked to say goodbye to whatever we failed to create in 2023 and give space to whatever we want to cultivate in the year in front of us.
We’ve finally arrived, we made it, the (energy) of 2023 is finally ending.
I am writing this today as we still have a couple of days to declutter and cutting the things and contexts we don’t want to bring with us into the New Year. On the 9th/10th of February, which means on Friday/Saturday, we’re all going to pass into The Year of The Wood Dragon. A year of abundance but also of conflict, that embodies the spirit of the dragon in all the corners of the mind (and life). Courage, less comfort and more bold action, also divergent dynamics and fire characters. Not to forget that this is an important elections year almost everywhere. Spirits will definitely be all over the place and we need to learn how to keep ourselves grounded, in the mundane, in the practical and today/now.
This is not going to be an easy year. We are still transitioning towards the energies of air and fire of the next evolutionary cycle and the Universe will usher us into faster dynamics. For the next 2 months, all planets move direct on the sky so we have all the supporting energies to hit the acceleration and dream (also act) big. But then, retrogrades will begin and we will, planet by planet, go within more and more to find the solutions to make our lives lighter.
According to Chinese astrology, 2024 starts a new cycle in which the feminine will rise and rise. It’s cyclical, but also a sweet synchronicity. A serendipitous moment for all women here and out there who are building a new life for themselves and new communities for the people around them. A new world, a better one, has now the chance to rise. I will be here to guide you all the way.
This year we are going to experience major shifts of energy, these being the most important from my perspective:
Magical Pluto has already stepped into Aquarius for the next 20 years (with just 2 months of returning to Capricorn at the end of 2024). A lot of Aquarian energy will dominate February (with personal planets going over Pluto sequently)
Jupiter and Uranus will conjunct in Taurus in April, but the energy is already here
The Nodal Axis of Aries-Libra will continue to rearrange our relations, partnerships, courageous endeavour for the remaining of the entire year, while also meeting Chiron this spring
Saturn continuing to ground the energy of Pisces
It’s a lot. And everyone of us has these energies acting in certain areas of your chart, depending on your birth dates. And these energies will influence you. If you are reading this article, you definitely understand what I am saying. So what should we do? Well…ground. Always ground. And cultivate a healthy support system around you, with people you trust, love and admire. Clean your space (especially now before the New Year). Move your body and take care of what you eat, get enough sleep, read books and do less screen-time, go to therapy if you need or seek a mentor, a guide to give you higher perspective. Pray. Love a cat or a dog. And ask an astrologer :).
I have re-started to do daily journaling prompts. They help me ground and re-assess the mundane, the small, simple gifts any day brings to me. In the end of this message, I am prompting you with compassion for a little journaling session:
What are your major gains of 2023? It can be a journey, a job, a child, a cat, but it can also be you. Finding or rediscovering you in a lighter, less anxious version.
What are you letting go of 2023? It can be a dream, someone, some place, something or just an old, expired version of yourself.
Now that you are invited to cross the line between the 2 energies, how can you do it with understanding for who and where you are, and excitement for what you’re looking forward to? You are OK where you are. You have all the time in the world to get where you want. Give yourself the love and acceptance you wait from others.
You know where to find me for guidance and support: I am a message away.
Take care of your energy, and your heart.
Women Are Healing :)
