Welcoming February and Aquarius season: a toolkit
Balancing realism with optimism, and preparing for the blooming that's ahead
Hello, my dear ones. Welcome to Aquarius season (as of today)! Welcome to February in just over a week! Where is this year already going?!
2024 has felt like breakneck speed to me. January usually seems to languish on forever, but not this year. It was a tumbling realization of one thing after another; a continuation of a hectic holiday season. Personally, it’s been snow storms and trips and sickness — some things I can control, and some things that I can’t. A feeling of putting in the work but not being sure quite where I’m going to end up.
And that’s what a lot of January is; feeling like we have the whole year ahead of us. And we do! But it doesn’t mean this time isn’t valuable. Like I shared in my post about monthly themes for this year’s creative work, January is for getting clear on what our tactical goals are. As we head into February, we have the opportunity to lift up those ideas, ensuring that our realism aligns with the big, audacious ideas we have for our year. It’s not too early to get started on what we want.
Big ideas to keep in mind this February:
As you plan for the month ahead, we aim to take the realistic spirit of January and transition it into the loftier ideals of February. It brings a lofty framing to realism — when you look at what your rooted goals are, how can you elevate them to ensure they’re as rallying and thrilling as they can be for you?
February is an opportunity to invest in ourselves first. Not anyone else; us. It’s a time to be audaciously true to who we endeavor to become. When we view our goals and ideas, do they really amp us up? How can we remain true to ourselves, and ensure their alignment with with the year we want ahead.
In February, we are still deep into winter — it’s the last full month we have with this season. We are still turned inward, cocooning for the seasons ahead. It’s still time to root down and plan, because in the spring it will be time to emerge and bloom.
