Rethinking the New Year: Reflection, Intention, and Tangible Goals
The start of a new year often brings a rush of energy to set intentions, create vision boards, and commit to fresh starts. While it’s a wonderful time to reflect and plan, it’s important to remember that, energetically, we’re still in winter. Nature is hibernating, resting, and reflecting—a time to turn inward rather than push forward.
From a zodiac perspective, the true beginning of the new year aligns with Aries season in the spring. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, brings renewal, action, and growth—energies that align beautifully with planting seeds and setting intentions for the months ahead. Still, if you’re feeling inspired to set goals now, there’s value in using this winter energy to lay a strong foundation. Let’s explore how to do that effectively.
