Congratulations on making it to February 👏
January has a way of feeling endless, and this past month seemed to stretch even further, as the energy of the 2 asks us to slow down, wait, and practice patience whether we want to or not.
The memes that frequented my feed the last 4 weeks screamed that we were all going through it:
I’m happy to inform you that this will shift in February, which should feel like a much shorter month that starts to gain traction.
The message I want to share with you today is the importance of fully understanding and embracing the long view. Pluto is in Aquarius for the next 18 years, and I believe this marks a prolonged period of upheaval and transformation. Taking the long view in stride means being careful not to burn out too early.
If we are not mindful, every update about the rising tide of fascism and the steady encroachment on our basic human rights can leave us emotionally drained long before the struggle reaches our own doorstep, when we will need every internal resource we can gather to meet what’s coming with clarity and courage. This is not a sprint. We have a long way to go, and we will need restoration in all forms throughout the long journey if we are to succeed.
What’s great about February, which is a 3 month, is that the number 3 is associated with communication, self expression, magic, optimism and joy, and I think it will do us good to find a haven in these places. The best way to take action this month is to find motivation and inspiration in the people around us.
Speak your truth. Embrace magic. Love what you love. That will feed the internal fire, and fire melts ICE.
This month’s song is Rise Up O Flame by Kiki Rockwell
Rise Up, O Flame is a traditional canon dating back as far as the 1600s. It’s often attributed to Christoph Praetorius and commonly sung at campfires among girl scouts. It has the power, intensity, and camaraderie that reminds me of this 1-3 combo we have in February.
Rise up, O flame,
by thy light glowing,
show to us beauty,
vision, and joy.
The 1 year is the spark, a moment of ignition, the first breath of an idea. It is will, initiation, and the courage to step forward. The 3 is the flame that follows, the expression of that spark as voice, movement, and creative force in the world.
Even though many of us feel powerless and isolated, I assure you that you’re not tending to the flame alone. This month, create something and let it be seen. Send a voice note instead of a text. Share a song, a memory, a piece of art. Even in uncertain times, we are still capable of lighting the way for one another.
If you would like insight and guidance on where you are on the 9-year cycle, sign up for my personal monthly readings here:
As an Aquarius I always feel the sun's reinvigorating energy waking me up at this time of year, and making me feel hopeful, positive, and creative again. Reminding me that the spirit hasn't left, it was only hibernating (with me along with it). I also have something of an aversion to Capricorns and January so that contrast is always heightened.
I can relate perfectly with your title for this one 'rise up o flame'.
Great little monthly reading Kerry Jane - thank you!
