As we come to the final shedding of the Year of the Wood Snake, I’m really feeling the intensity of this energy.
Emotions closer to the surface.
Misunderstandings.
Miscommunication.
A feeling of exposure as old layers fall away.
I don’t claim to be an expert in Chinese astrology, but I’m deeply noticing how this time feels in my body and in my world right now.
It feels like the snake is teaching us that transformation isn’t always graceful. Sometimes it feels tender, confronting, and like too much. The shedding can be uncomfortable, even painful, but it is purposeful.
I created this artwork during the Year of the Snake, and I wanted to share it now as a reflection of what many of us may be moving through.
I’m noticing this deeply in my own world right now. If things feel heightened for you too, please know you’re not alone.
Keep breathing. Keep listening to your body. Keep showing up. Keep moving through it, putting one foot in front of the other, even slowly.
This is not failure in any way. It’s completion. It's growing through what we're going through.
It feels like part of the shedding and there's alchemy for all of us on the other side. Keep going. We've got this. 🐍
