Imbolc means in the navel/belly, so it's immediately obvious that it is a celebration of expectant life. Signalling the beginning of new life, the promise of renewal & hidden potential.
It marks a shift, all be it a gentle one, in our seasons (we are well aware how quickly winter can sweep back in!)
We are at the halfway point between Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox.
Listen to the inner guidance, wisdom & inner tuition you have nurtured throughout the darkest part of our year & tune into the energy of potential spring will bring.
Time to release what you need to, to let go of the past & look to the future.
With a full moon in Leo today the perfect time to ask yourself what you're ready to let go of to make space for the future you have been dreaming of ✨️ . Leo energy gives you courage & confidence to start to make things happen.
Another reminder of how cyclical we are, how connected we are to nature's cycles, a fresh opportunity to nurture our dreams & desires before birthing them in Spring.
You may start to feel stirrings in yourself, notice those.
Give yourself time to connect with that inward movement of energy.
What do you feel motivated to manifest?
What ideas & visions feel right to nurture?
Take some time for quiet reflection & notice any guidance from your intuition.
You may want to create an Imbolc altar or space. Gather some symbols from nature, snowdrops, blackberrys or willow.
Light a candle, draw in the energy of goddess Brigid, maybe using citrine to represent the Sun & abundance as well as an essential oil such as Peppermint or Lemon for focus or Frankincense or Cedar Wood to ground & connect with your energy.
