What are we loving these days?? FOOT SOAKS!

While the 50 degree days last weekend gave us Minnesotans sweet hopes for spring weather, the fresh dumping of snow and dropping temps are back to remind us that we have a little more Cold to navigate.

Keeping your feet warm is a really good form of self-care and winter wellness in the season of Cold. Foot soaks are a great way to do that! A warm water foot soak boosts circulation to your feet, legs, and pelvic organs.

You can make your own foot soak with hot water and epsom salts… add freshly grated ginger, ground ginger, or a little ground mustard to make it extra warming and deliciously aromatic.

OR if you’re less of a DIY person, we have two special concoctions created just for you, available at the clinic:

🦶GINGER ROSEMARY FOOT SOAK
This blend of epsom salt, Himalayan salt, ground ginger root, and rosemary essential oil is warming and energizing. This one is the less expensive option that is an easier choice and generally therapeutic for all folks!

🦶WARMING HERBAL FOOT SOAK
This blend is a more warming version of our original foot soak for cold, stiff, and painful feet. Each satchel of pre-bagged foot soaks contains bugleweed, lycopodium, safflower flower, and mugwort. Instructions and two soaks included in the bag!

Have other recipes and remedies for the tootsies you like? Share in the comments so we can all partake in the goodness! 😁

Gentle midweek reminder: unclench your jaw, lower your shoulders, and take a few deep breaths.

What do you notice when you take a quick break from what’s in front of you and tune in to what’s within you?

What changes do you observe as you deepen your breath and invite release?

Happy Lunar New Year! Thanks to our resident acupuncturist Dr Virginia, we have some inspiration to share around this shift into a new cycle:

According to Chinese astrology and Chinese Five Element Theory, The Yang Fire Horse Year of 2026 marks a powerful shift from reflection into motion and building directly on the quiet groundwork laid during the Yin Wood Snake Year of 2025.

Where the Snake 🐍 encouraged introspection, wisdom, shedding, and careful planning, the Horse 🐴 arrives with speed and confidence, which dissolves many of those restraints and pushes plans into action.

☯️ Yang energy is outward, assertive and initiating.
🔥 Fire is the element of passion, visibility, vitality, technology and the human spirit.
When Yang energy and the Fire element are combined, it creates a rare “double fire” configuration that amplifies momentum, courage and influence.

This is a year to ACT, not only observe. People may feel driven to make bold moves, pursue long-held ambitions, and chart their own paths. Projects that once felt slow or stagnant suddenly gain traction.

The Horse is the seventh animal in the zodiac and is inherently social, confident and people-oriented, making 2026 a powerful time to expand networks, strengthen community ties and tap into social life for success, even as big shifts in relationships unfold.

At the same time, the Horse runs fast and sometimes too fast! The accelerated pace can feel chaotic and there’s a risk of burnout if ambition isn’t balanced with care. Practicing deliberate patience and cultivating inner stillness helps you take the reins rather than be swept along.

Overall, 2026 promises great progress and heightened visibility for those who move forward with clarity, intelligence, and courage. Remember that while the fire fuels expansion, endurance comes from pacing the journey.

Are you curious about astrology but not sure where to begin? We’ve got you covered!

Astrologer Erin McFerson (she/her) of AlignWell Astrology will be bringing her wisdom and passion for the stars to our Constellation Classroom next week for an Astrology Basics workshop.

In this class, we will discover the big three in your birth chart: your rising, sun, and moon signs. ⬆️☀️🌙

We will keep it simple and practical, spending most of our time discussing and looking at our charts. Our goal is to help give you a clear starting point for understanding your own chart and the symbolic wisdom astrology can offer. No prior astrology experience necessary!

When we know more about what’s in our chart, we can understand ourselves on an even deeper level.

ASTROLOGY BASICS WITH ERIN MCFEARSON
📅Tues, Feb 24
⏱️7pm-8:15pm
📍Constellation Classroom

✨What to bring: Prior to the class, please look up your birth chart, using whatever information you have about your birth date, time, and location, and bring along with you. We suggest the free Astro Seek website, or the CHANI or TimePassages apps. You may also want a notebook and a pen!

Celebrate the Lunar New Year and new beginnings with us at Breathwork + Writing with Amy!

Often when we talk about breathwork, we focus on letting go, which is a great thing to do in breathwork! However, with the Lunar New Year, the most potent focus is on pulling things closer to you, like luck, abundance, and blessings.

So rather than clearing things away and releasing, this Breathwork + Writing class will be all about drawing what we want closer to us, inviting in, and receiving.

🔥🏇We'll be specifically utilizing the energy of the Yang Fire Horse to envision and call in the liberated and safe world we want to live in! This will be a POWERFUL energetic moment and we hope you can join. 🏇🔥

Amy will do a guided meditation at the start and end of the class to bring this intention into the group work and you’ll have to journal and write about your intentions.

LUNAR NEW YEAR BREATHWORK + WRITING
Tues, Feb 17 from 7:30pm-9pm
at Constellation Classroom
$45 / use the code ACCESS for 50% off if finances are a barrier to booking.

No experience necessary! Yoga mats and blankets provided, but bring a journal/paper and a pen (or colored pencils if you like to doodle instead of write!)

02/10/2026

The Lunar New Year arrives next week on February 17 and, to celebrate the threshold from one year to the next, we asked Dr. Virginia how we can best honor the moment. Lunar New Year is about letting go of the past, honoring family, aligning yourself with good fortune, and starting the year with intention.

Here are some ideas on traditions you can incorporate and the best timing for them:

BEFORE LUNAR NEW YEAR:
🧹CLEANING THE HOUSE
Out with the old to make way for the new. Cleaning helps sweep away bad luck and misfortune from the past year to make space for incoming good fortune.

⚠️Important note: Do NOT clean on New Year’s Day—you would be “sweeping away” good luck.

✂️HAIRCUTS
Get a haircut to cut off bad luck from the previous year.
In Chinese, hair is 发 (fā), which sounds like “prosperity.” Cutting hair during the New Year is seen as cutting off wealth—so be sure to cut your hair BEFORE the New Year.

👕NEW CLOTHES
Symbolizes new beginnings and is traditionally worn on New Year’s Day.

ON LUNAR NEW YEAR’S EVE
🛁BATHING/SHOWERING
Shower before New Year’s Day to wash away bad luck and negativity from the past year and reset for the year ahead. Just like cleaning the house, try to avoid showering or washing your hair on New Year’s Day, as you don’t want to wash away incoming good luck.

🍽️FAMILY REUNION DINNER
The most important family meal of the year, symbolizing unity and abundance. It’s better to make too much food and have leftovers for the next day to represent abundance in the coming year.

🎉ON NEW YEAR’S DAY
Focus your attention on resetting luck, welcoming blessings, and starting fresh. Stay calm, positive, and feel into the energy of the new year. We’ll share more about the energy of the yang fire horse next week!

What are we loving these days?? FARM FRESH EGGS!!
The color of the yolks in these eggies are *chef’s kiss* gorgeous and, lucky for you, we are selling batches in the lobby of our clinic!

For over ten years, Amy has been lucky to have an amazing farmer deliver farm-fresh free-range eggs to her house each week. Unfortunately, he's now being targeted for his skin color and accent, despite being a naturalized US citizen, and unable to make deliveries.

🥚🍳So, the clinic has offered to be a pick-up site for his delicious local eggs - which means you can now buy amazing eggs in our waiting room! 🍳🥚


We've already sold through over 20 dozen since bringing them in and Amy will be picking up more from him on the regular so there will be a fresh batch at the clinic. One dozen free-range eggs costs $6.50 and can be paid directly to him via Venmo at time of purchase.

If you’re finding it hard to remember to eat or meal planning and prepping feels like too much right now, eggs are a quick, easy, and affordable source of protein that many of our practitioners rely on.

Check out the info on the amazing care these chickens get and please consider supporting his farm (and your body!) with these eggs. Bon appetite!

We have another mutual aid fundraiser opportunity where your donations for care help support our local community: GROUP ACUPUNCTURE & MASSAGE THERAPY!

This event features both group acupuncture (also known as community-style acupuncture) and massage therapy, allowing attendees to receive care at a lower price point than private treatment while also paying it forward to those in need.

Constellation acupuncturists Steph, Virginia, and Emily will be providing the NADA ear acupuncture protocol, which is a set of points that is useful for stress management, anxiety, fear, and agitation. Lexi will be providing chair massage to reduce tension and restriction in your tissues.

These sessions are a great way to support your body in recovering from stress, to receive acupuncture or massage for the first time, or simply to enjoy a moment of pause in a shared healing space with others.

📅WHEN: Fridays, Feb 6, Feb 13, and Feb 27 from 9:30am - 11:30am *you’ll sign up for a timeslot
📍WHERE: Constellation Classroom / 2817 Anthony Lane South #102, Mpls 55418
🎒WHAT TO BRING: Just bring yourself! Please make sure you eat something in the morning before receiving treatment. You’ll be fully clothed for both treatments.
💵COST: This offering is intentionally sliding scale, making symptom management, rest, and care more accessible to our community. Standard rate is $25, sliding scale of $0-$50. When registering, add additional funds as desired, or to reduce the rate, use code ACCESS to lower to $12.50 or NOCOST to lower to $0. No one is turned away due to lack of funds.

⭐All proceeds from this event will be donated to Women’s Foundation of Minnesota Immigrant Rapid Response Fund for urgent basic needs, legal aid, and other emerging needs of individuals and families impacted by ICE occupation. ⭐

Accessibility: Patients will be treated on massage tables, zero gravity chairs, or massage chairs at this event. A stool will be available to help patients get up on the massage table, if needed. Treatment can also easily be provided to patients in a wheelchair. Masks will be available for patients who desire them.

If you have questions about this event, call 612-339-5088 or email us at info@constellationacu.com and please share with anyone who might benefit from a little Friday morning TLC!
