A couple of weekends ago, I got to be in ritual and pull cards for the year. For those of you who are new to my space, at the beginning of every new calendar year I have a practice to pull an oracle card for the upcoming 12 months. Each month throughout the year I share what came through here and in my email newsletter. In the past I have picked energetic themes for each month, or a support animal for each month and last year we picked an invitation to guide us to connect with our inner divinity.
For 2026, I was drawn to one of my newer decksโ Queen of the Sun Oracle by Stacy Demarco. We have worked with other decks by Stacy in the past, including her Queen of the Moon Oracle.
The artwork in her decks is beautiful and full of magick. This deck doesnโt disappoint.
As we are navigating through darker times these days, I thought connecting to different dimensions of light and the sun would be a supportive way for us to orient in 2026. The sun invites us to pay attention to elements of JOY and LIGHT. It offers us the wisdom of illumination.
A perfect fit for this year.
So for each month we will reflect on: What energy is here for us to work with as a resource to invite in more clarity, ease and light?
For the month of February, this resource is REFLECTION.
There are lots of ways we can orient ourselves to the wisdom of reflection.
First, this is a beautiful time of year to take extra space to really pause and reflect on what is important to you. Where are you spending your time and attention? Does it feel aligned, or does it feel like youโre just going through the motions?
When the world feels loud, fast, and destabilizing, reflection becomes a form of self care. It is a way of remembering who you are beneath the noise. A way of reclaiming choice in where you place your attention and energy.
Reflection also invites discernment, which is essential when times are more challenging and chaotic.
What truly belongs to you and what has been absorbed, inherited, or taken on unconsciously?
What nourishes you and what is quietly (or not so quietly) draining you?
February, sitting deep within winter, supports this kind of honest seeing. Nature itself is pared down. The invitation is to listen. To notice. To let what matters reveal itself.
On a somatic level, reflection can look like noticing how your body responds as you move through your days. Where are you bracing? What supports you to soften? What brings a subtle sense of relief, expansion, or warmth? These reflections guide you toward what is actually aligned.
While this resource is an invitation to slow down and go within, it also reminds us of the wisdom being reflected back to us by our environment.
Sometimes the clearest reflections come from what is mirrored back by nature, by meaningful conversations, by art, or by symbols and synchronicities that seem to find us at just the right moment.
Where is life offering you a gentle echo right now? This can be hard to hear/see/sense when the chaos swirls around, and what I have noticed is that we have to intentionally keep our eyes and hearts open to truly see.
For me, rainbows have long carried this reflective quality and often appear as a quiet reassurance, a ping or a signal of coherence. I love the synchronicity of the rainbow displayed on the card this month for this reason. You may have your own symbols like this. February is a powerful time to pay attention to them.
This card is asking us to widen the lens of reflection beyond our thinking mind and into relationships.
๐Relationship with your inner world. Your body and your knowing.
๐Relationship with the natural world.
๐Relationship with the unseen supports that quietly walk alongside you.
Reflection this month helps our system soften out of overwhelm, so movement can return. Its deeper purpose is to help us feel clear enough, resourced enough, and grounded enough to take action. When so much is happening in the world, it makes sense that many of us feel frozen, overloaded, or unsure of how to respond.
Taking space for reflection gives us a pathway out of paralysis by helping us sense what is ours to do. From that place of clarity, action can arise organically, in ways that are aligned, intentional, and sustainable.
Small actions taken from a connected and resourced place carry far more impact than reaction fueled by fear or collapse.
May reflection be a companion this February, helping you listen more deeply, notice what is being revealed, and move gently toward the light that is already here.
