Momentum, Fire Horse & Nature
February is often the month where momentum starts. I often find for me and I know having conversations with others, they feel it as well, that we need January as a month of integrating the new year energies.
It’s a time to just feel into what’s shifting, to take stock and to allow the energies to settle into our bodies, our hearts and into our lives before we really start moving.
January was about integration, reflection and holding space for what’s coming.
This February is an exciting time with the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac stepping up. It will be shifting us through things with great speed for some. Some who have been feeling into this energy already will find the horse energy steady, grounding and honest (horses never lie).
It’s a clear, direct energy. It doesn’t sugarcoat or soften. It shows things as they are and asks us to respond with presence and awareness. For those that have a bit more personal healing to do, take time to sit with the energy of the horse and see how you feel about it. Notice where it feels exciting, where it feels challenging and where it asks you to pause. The horse can carry us forward, but only if we are ready to move with it consciously.
If you don’t have horses around in the flesh, don’t worry you can still connect with this energy. Get on YouTube or somewhere online and find a video of horses. Watch how they move, how they respond to their environment, how they carry themselves. Feel into what it awakens in you.
Let it teach you steadiness, honesty and freedom in your own body and mind. Don’t worry if you feel a bit out of sorts right now. The first two weeks of this month are still allowing us to shed the Snake energy, which is about letting go of old patterns, old ways of being and clearing space for the new. So if you feel a little wobbly or unsteady, that’s okay it’s all part of the process.
Get out in nature if you can and see the gifts Mother Nature offers you. Notice the birds, the animals, the insects, anything that catches your attention. Maybe a bird appears at the exact moment you need guidance or an animal crosses your path as a reminder of something. Google the spiritual meaning of any that stand out to you. It can be a fun way to deepen your awareness. Look at the trees, the shapes in the branches, the clouds in the sky. Notice the textures, the colours, the patterns. And of course, my favourite: rocks! Stones and rocks hold energy in a way that can ground us and remind us we are part of something bigger. Nature embraces us, supports us and helps us feel as one with the world. Just being amongst it does that. You don’t have to try or force anything, simply being there is enough.
Trust what is coming and always be open to the signs. Notice what shows up, take gentle note and let it guide you. Allow the Fire Horse energy to move you, but also allow yourself to move with patience and awareness. Pay attention to the subtle nudges, the small signs and the feeling in your body as you navigate the month.
As always for support and guidance, I am here. You can book a reading with me here.
