Happiest Lunar New Year!
Can I just blame Mercury Retrograde for my delay in writing this year? Ah well.
2022 is a Universal 6 Year. We find the year number by adding all of the digits, so 2+0+2+2=6. We also look at the numbers that the year is comprised of, in this case there are three 2s!
With that in mind, this year will be heavily focused on home, family, children, community, balance, and beauty. Ways to make the best use of the year include making your house a home (reinvigorate, reorganize), spend time with your kids or your parents, make new friends, take a trip with your partner, spend time in nature, and explore your creative expression. This is also the best time to strike a work/life balance. Especially after these past two years spent in reflection and noting large discrepancies in the balances we have struck, this is the time to take action to balance those scales.
Spend time listening to music (or making music or dancing/singing), walk barefoot outside, sit by the ocean, visit the mountains...engage in your community. Spend time with your family (including chosen family) and take time for yourself. Fill your cup again! What reinvigorates you? What energizes you? What are your passions?
This is also a great time to get back on track with your wellness goals, whatever that looks like for you.
Now, all those 2s... We are working on cooperation, communication, sensitivities, and listening more than we speak. This is having the tough conversations, this is active listening and patience. We should also be aware of topics that his sore spots and taking care to respond rather than react.
I would expect lots of movement in the family/relationship/home realm. People may move, get engaged, divorce, have a child, or otherwise shift the family dynamics. One way or another, the focus this year is on those closest to you.
This makes so much sense. If nothing else, this pandemic has brought to light those who are truly important to you and are worth your time and energy including those who align with your values and ideals and those with whom you can have a quality relationship dynamic.
It is time to reconnect.
