✨ Energetic Theme of the Week
This is a portal week.
We move from the final dissolution of Pisces into the ignition of Aries — closing a cycle and beginning a new one almost simultaneously.
The week begins in Aquarius, offering perspective after the emotional processing of the previous cycle. Then we descend into Pisces, where the New Moon resets the emotional and spiritual field.
But this isn’t just any reset.
Within 48 hours, the Sun enters Aries (Spring Equinox) — the true astrological new year.
🌑 Endings dissolve quietly. Beginnings arrive with fire.
This is:
Release → Reset → Rebirth
