Dear light-bearers,

Happy Lunar New Year, we bid farewell to year Yin Wood Snake and welcome the year of the Yang Fire Horse 🔥🐴! It was also a partial solar eclipse in Aquarius ♒, the sign of the people's revolution, earlier this morning.

Daria of Accountability Mapping and Red Rabbit Bāzì Astrology writes in his Yearly Astrology forecast for the Yang Fire Horse year,

"Welcome to the hottest year on record 🌡️. It’s noon on summer solstice and the sun is directly above us. ICE is melting 🧊, it’s time to burn it down 🌋."

Yes!

This week I have been feeling into Jupiter in Cancer ♋ and how they have been preparing to birth the new world where Saturn and Neptune come together on Feb 20th to begin a new cycle at 0 degrees of Aries ♈, the very beginning of the zodiac.

Jupiter in Cancer is the rain that washes down my face, dissolving the hard places where I did not let the grief touch me.

They are the gushing gurgle of the creek calming my nerves while giving birth to salmon.

They are the blue lagoon where quiet waves wash away my tears, now dry.

After the pressure to build boundaries in the oceans of collective needs and collective grief that Saturn in Pisces brought, Jupiter in Cancer opens me up to em-body-ing and feeling the growth I have experienced.

They awaken the parts of me I hid in a hard shell of myself, carefully constructed, to be safe. With them I molt --- so I may be more available to life itself.

Now, Saturn and Neptune come together in fiery Aries after traveling together through the cosmic birthing waters of Pisces to now plant the seed of an opening to what? I am not sure just yet, but I am glad Jupiter is in Cancer to oversee the birth of this red re-beginning.
