The Seasons

SPRING:

This is a classic time for renewal and new life. You are fertile in your abilities and are able to harness the power of Mama Earth since she is in full bloom. It is time for new beginning and your work should reflect that. Dive deep into your power and justify your desires to be pure. Use the creative nature of the Sacral to consummate your workings.

SUMMER:

This time of year is full of vibrance and power. Tap into these vibes and let the fire rise from within. Connect with truth and don’t let anything weigh you down. Burn away anything that’s blocking you from your desired outcomes. Manifest your most hard to accomplish dreams now!

AUTUMN:

Peek inside of yourself and learn to let things go that no longer serve the YOU you need to be in this moment. Connect with your shadow self and ask what you need. Honor your needs and “see” the world for what it is. Manifest new spiritual growth and self-awareness. Balance your life!

WINTER:

Take the time to rest yourself and reflect on past manifestations. What have you manifested and what still needs to be done? Embrace the slower pace and nourish every part of you. Start preparing for Spring rewards and new life. Purify your space, your body, your spirit. Look forward to the cleansing of the year and new life in Spring. Protect your peace, heal, and show yourself some love.
