Happy New Moon Valentine’s Day!
The timing couldn’t be more perfect, spending it than on the back end of a new moon phase.
A new moon always brings a time of new beginnings. It’s a period when the sky is completely black, with the exception of little sparkles of light in the form of stars.
It’s the point in every month when the moon takes a retreat and begins to grow again, redoubling her light and reflecting new creative energy on all worldly things. It marks an ideal time for connecting with our inner selves and our heart’s desire. By looking for the “light” and knowing that it’s there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered – we can reach a place where our personal reflection begins to shed its own light.
What wants to emerge from within you? What wants to be created outside of you?
It sounds like a perfect message for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?

Imagine a white canvas in front of you – and a vision in your mind of blues and greens and purples – so you begin to paint, carefully placing your brush on the canvas as you blend the colors – and suddenly, you knock a jar of brown paint onto your palette. What then?
Do you clean it up? Do you start again?
Or do you wonder what the synchronicity of the spillage might be telling you?
What wants to be noticed? What wants to be included?

We’re entering a full moon phase in the practical and resourceful sign of Capricorn. It’s a great time to review what you already have in place, both personally and professionally – and begin to look for creative ways to rework, reframe, or reshape what might be feeling old and stagnant.
Many times, all we need is a refresh – and not an overhaul.
As author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins says, “The defining factor for success is never resources – it’s resourcefulness.”
How creative are you with the resources you already have?

On my daily walk this morning, along one of my favorite Cape Cod nature trails, I noticed my first butterfly of the season crossing my path. It stayed with me for a few minutes, eventually landing on a yellow flower in a nearby meadow.
I began thinking about this butterfly – and the transformation it had taken to become one. It reminded me of a favorite quote by beloved poet Maya Angelou, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
Every great transformation – whether personal, professional or creative – involves a process that isn’t always pleasant. There are many twists and turns, lots of creating and adjusting, and a necessary willingness to “see it all through.”
It’s a unique journey that can be described metaphorically, “from caterpillar to butterfly.”
