February’s Heart Wisdom: A Time for Compassion and Renewal
 
As we step into February, the energy of the heart takes center stage, inviting us to connect deeply with its innate wisdom. This is a time to embrace love in all its forms—love for ourselves, others, and the world around us. The heart holds a sacred intelligence, guiding us toward compassion, understanding, and authentic connection. Whether through acts of kindness or moments of quiet reflection, February reminds us to lean into the heart's wisdom and allow it to shape our thoughts, words, and actions.
 
This month also brings us Imbolc on February 2nd, a celebration of renewal and the spark of light returning after winter’s darkness. Associated with Brigid, the goddess of poetry, healing, and inspiration, Imbolc marks a time to plant the seeds of new intentions and nurture them as the days grow longer. It's a beautiful reminder that even in the quiet of winter, there’s magic stirring beneath the surface, ready to bloom.
 
Let February be your time to honor the sacred balance of stillness and action. Listen to your heart, follow its whispers, and allow its wisdom to guide you into deeper alignment with your highest self. Whether you're reflecting on your journey, celebrating Imbolc, or embracing self-compassion, know that this is your opportunity to cultivate the love and light that will shape your year ahead.
 
Here’s to a month filled with heart-centered growth and radiant possibilities!

Cosmic Energy for February 2025: A Month of Reflection, Creativity, and Forward Momentum
February 2025 brings a vibrant mix of celestial shifts and alignments, encouraging both self-reflection and bold action. On February 4th, 
Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, a cosmic green light for expanding communication, learning, and the exchange of ideas. This energy supports open-minded exploration and the pursuit of new knowledge, making it an ideal time to embrace curiosity and growth. If you’ve been holding back on launching a project or sharing your voice, this planetary shift offers the clarity and momentum to move forward with confidence.
 
The Full Moon in Leo on February 12th is a luminous highlight, shining a spotlight on creativity, self-expression, and individuality. This fiery Full Moon invites you to celebrate what makes you unique, share your gifts with the world, and bask in the light of your accomplishments. Whether you’re diving into artistic endeavors, stepping into a leadership role, or simply honoring your inner spark, this lunation encourages you to embrace your authenticity and let your light shine brightly.
 
As the month progresses, we’ll feel the energy shift once again when Mars ends its retrograde in Cancer on February 23rd. After a period of introspection and emotional recalibration, this transition offers a renewed sense of motivation and purpose. With Mars now direct, it’s time to channel that emotional clarity into action, particularly in areas tied to home, family, and personal goals. February’s astrological currents gently guide us to balance the heart and mind, creativity and practicality, and reflection and action, making it a powerful month to realign with your purpose and manifest your desires.

Card Reading for February 2025 by Sue Freeman
February’s Oracle Message: A Journey to Self-Love & Empowerment
 
As I sat down to select the decks for this month’s reading, I felt an undeniable pull toward two of my favorites: The Goddess Dream Oracle by Wendy Andrew and The Soulful Woman deck by Shushann Movessian and Gemma Summers. Six cards emerged, weaving a powerful message for the month ahead. Among them, three stood out the most—Self-Love, The Power of Self-Talk, and Self-Belief. The remaining three—Being with Discomfort, Your Path, and Abundance—interwove seamlessly, deepening the message.
 
As I reflected on these cards, a profound sense of longing arose within me—unexpected yet deeply resonant. It was as if my soul was urging me to go deeper, to listen, to understand. And with that, the questions began to surface:
  • How comfortable are you with yourself?
  • Where does discomfort reside within you, preventing you from fully embracing self-love and self-belief?
  • What stories does your self-talk whisper—are they empowering or limiting?
We all experience moments of discomfort—through events, relationships, and even within our own thoughts. But what if instead of resisting it, we leaned into it? What if the discomfort we feel is an invitation—an opening to deeper healing and self-discovery?
 
This month calls us to courageously explore these depths. To ask the hard questions. To uncover the layers of thought and emotion that keep us from fully believing in ourselves and pursuing the life we dream of. True self-love is not just about embracing our strengths but also about acknowledging and healing the parts of us that have been hidden in shadow.
 
When we align with our authentic path, abundance flows naturally—not just in material ways, but in joy, fulfillment, and purpose. To live our dreams fully, we must first believe we are worthy of them. To create a new world, we must first transform our inner world.
 
So, I invite you to go within. To sit with yourself in the stillness, in the discomfort, and listen. This is where transformation begins. As we deepen our self-love and self-belief, we step into our power—not just for ourselves, but for the collective. Because when we heal, the world heals with us.
 
May this month be a time of profound self-discovery, empowerment, and love. The answers you seek are already within.
 
What will you uncover when you go deeper?

Flower of the Month: Lotus
 by Leslie Treloar

The Lotus Flower: A Symbol of the Awakening Heart
 
The lotus flower has long been revered as a symbol of spiritual awakening, purity, and resilience. Rooted in the mud yet blossoming into breathtaking beauty above the water's surface, it mirrors the journey of the soul rising above challenges and unfolding into its fullest potential. In many traditions, including Buddhism and Hinduism, the lotus represents divine wisdom and enlightenment. Just as the flower closes at night and reopens with the morning sun, it reflects the cyclical nature of growth, transformation, and the ever-expanding consciousness of the heart.
 
Spiritually, the lotus is deeply connected to the heart chakra, the energetic center of love, compassion, and inner peace. When the heart is open, like a fully bloomed lotus, we experience a profound connection to ourselves and others, embracing love without fear or attachment. This sacred flower teaches us that no matter how murky or difficult our surroundings may be, we have the power to rise above negativity and radiate love, just as the lotus emerges unstained from the mud. It reminds us to trust the unfolding of our own journey, knowing that every challenge is an opportunity for deeper healing and self-discovery.

 
During February, a month that celebrates love in many forms, let the lotus flower be a symbol of your heart's expansion. Take time to nurture your inner world, release past wounds, and embrace self-love as the foundation for all relationships. Meditate on the image of a blossoming lotus within your heart, allowing its energy to guide you toward greater compassion, forgiveness, and connection. By aligning with the wisdom of the lotus, we open ourselves to the beauty of life's unfolding and step into the full radiance of our divine essence.

Cassia Essential Oil – The Essence of Confidence
 
Cassia essential oil is a warm and uplifting oil that encourages courage, self-expression, and confidence. Its rich, spicy aroma ignites a sense of empowerment, inspiring you to step boldly into your purpose. Cassia reminds you that your inner light is meant to shine brightly, helping you embrace your gifts and share them with the world.
 
February’s Message: Confidence, Acceptance, and Freedom
 
This month, three cards from the Essential Oils deck were drawn, each carrying a powerful message of transformation. Together, they weave a story of stepping into confidence, releasing what no longer serves, and embracing the freedom to create your own life. Here is the message they bring to you:
 
You are being called to step forward with confidence, to release the past, and to embrace the limitless possibilities before you. You may have carried doubts, inherited patterns, or old beliefs that whispered, “I can’t” or “This is how it’s always been.” But now is the time to shift. Your inner light is meant to shine—boldly, unapologetically, and fully. Trust that your gifts are needed in this world, and with every step forward, you inspire others to do the same.
 
As you move through this month, let go of the weight of the past—not just for yourself, but for generations before you. Release the stories and habits that have kept you small. Forgive, not because the past deserves it, but because you do. And then, step into freedom. 
 
You are the creator of your life. Every day is a new opportunity to choose joy, to break free from routine, and to welcome play, creativity, and adventure. This is your invitation to embrace all that you are, to live with confidence, and to celebrate the freedom that comes when you truly accept yourself.
