This February starts with a full moon in Cancer, reminding us to turn inward and remember what is important. As we go through a Capricorn lesson cycle, we can get caught up in doing and forget to be present and connect to the heart. Eclipse season begins on February 10, intensifying tensions between governments and the people. During this time, public attention may be drawn to political issues, causing frustration or disillusionment with leadership. On a personal level, it’s important to remember that true leadership involves considering the needs of all, but also recognizing our own limits. Practicing self-care ensures we have the capacity to support others effectively. Mars, Mercury, and Venus move into Aquarius as the eclipse energy peaks, intensifying the atmosphere. With Mercury turning retrograde on February 25, we’ll be prompted to revisit past lessons. Aquarius’s emphasis on public service and universal responsibility encourages us to reflect on collective needs and public opinion as we stand up for our beliefs.

Getting enough sleep is one of the most important parts of a healthy routine. A simple way to ensure you get more and better rest is to go to bed before 10 p.m. Establishing a consistent nighttime routine can help you unwind, ground yourself, and ease into sleep. I’ve created a short, 15-minute routine to help you release tension in your face and neck, relax more deeply, and enjoy a better night’s sleep. Relaxing the jaw, forehead, and back of the neck can make it easier to unwind and fall asleep faster. If you try this, let me know how it goes. Do you feel a little more relaxed as you wind down for sleep?
