Happy New Year!
I hope you had very happy holidays, in spite of any challenges along your path. My holidays were very full and relaxing. I had a nice mix of activities and visits with family and friends. During January, take time to recharge yourself and slowly set your intentions and priorities for the year
ahead.
Reflect on what you’d like to be different for yourself this year. In what areas would you like to grow, adjust, or change? What shifts would you like to make in your home? Susannah Conway’s annual planning guide is a wonderful resource for this process. Here’s a link. It’s meant to be done over several
days.
Our current Mars retrograde continues until February 23rd. This is the best cycle to plan for the next two years. You may find that you are changing your ideas about what you really want between now and late February. This is good alignment with current cycles. Circumstances often change and what you think you want may be different by the end of February. Allow yourself time to consider your dreams,
preferences and options. Wait until February 24 or later to put your plans into action or to start new initiatives.
The year of the Yin Wood Snake begins with Chinese (Lunar) New Year on January 29th. February 4th, the solar new year, is the day to place the annual cures and adjustments in your home, if you follow the Flying Star method of feng shui. I’ll provide an overview in
next month’s newsletter. Let me know if you would like me to update the Flying Stars for your home. I’ll be doing these during January.
This is a good month to reflect on how to create the best version of yourself, consider your various options, create a comfortable and supportive living space, and enjoy the season. Winter is
the time to slow down, go inward, and do a lot of self-nurturing.
This year, I'll be including a monthly guest post from my sister, Tricia Duffy Foggo, of Bermuda Fog Astrology. Check it out below.
If you’ve been in a rainy area (like I have) for the past
few days, see the rain clearing away the remnants of 2024 and opening new pathways for 2025.
Enjoy January! May 2025 be a spectacular year for all.
