Like the soft notes which begin a symphony, this month we are being gifted energies to aid us within our personal environments. Since January is a month of great transition as we adapt to the energies of 2025, as a result, our month is encased in pale pink energy. A vibrational match to: soothing and calming experiences. This frothy energy, akin to mermaid’s sea foam is meant to help us rejuvenate and replenish.
To describe the qualities and impact of this month’s guiding energy my spirit guides shared the tale of the Tortoise and the Hare with me. Within the tale, the hare challenges the tortoise to a race around the world. Within the hare’s perspective, the tortoise is slow and the hare can easily win. Yet, the tortoise agrees to the bet and the two set up to race.
As the gong sounds, the hare leaps past the tortoise and leaves the other animals watching in a cloud of dust. Even though the hare is soon out of sight, the tortoise begins its journey, step-by-step. Over the course of time the hare runs out of energy and finds that it must stop to rest. While it sleeps, unbeknownst to the hare, the tortoise comes up from behind and soon passes the hare.
Upon awaking, the hare gets up and charges forwards at full speed once more. Smug and self-confident, the hare spots the finish line and charges forwards. Once across the finish line the hare cheers in victory, only to be met with confused looks by the other animals. Standing amongst them is the tortoise.
The lesson of this fable is that when faced with a long journey: “slow and steady wins the race.”
The year 2025 is like a trip around the world. Best won through a slow and steady progression, rather than a fast and immediate attitude.
Guidance:
Since 2025 is a journey of time, this month we are encouraged to channel the attitude and abilities of the tortoise. During January sit back and watch what becomes manifested in our collective environments. Feel free to have ideas and plans for your year, but don’t commit to things just yet.
The best way we can manifest and navigate the year is to pair our ideas with the environment. The only way we can successfully pair our desires with the environment is by first stepping back and watching. Allow the environment of the year to unfurl and show you what is being offered. Also consider how you are relating to the year’s energy through considerations like astrology and numerology.
This means not only watching the politics without getting invested or involved yet. But also watch the people you have interactions with. Those co-workers, friends, neighbors, and even family members. They too are acclimating to the year’s energies and how their personal energies relate and interact with the energetic environment of 2025.
Since such profoundly new energy and changes are happening in the world, January is a month spent much the same as December. Rather than charging forth like the hare with great plans of change, slow down. A fear-based lifestyle and fearful thinking might encourage you to take charge, to dictate the story unfolding in 2025, and preselect the outcomes. Yet we are not truly able to do these things. Instead, relinquish and allow the world to move.
Conclusion:
The Dao or flow of life is healthiest when in motion. There are plans, designs, and spiritual intervention happening for 2025 which have been put into motion years ago. We don’t need to engage in fear about what 2025 might be. While new for us, it’s actually been within the considerations of Creation for a long time. The support we’ve been having is still happening. In addition, since many of our spirit guides are from other places, they are outside space and time. We’re getting to know this year’s energy, but they have already been in contact, planning, and preparing.
Therefore, this month’s energy of pale pink is a gift. Our support for the month is to know a calm and soothing peace. A trust that the larger world out there is in good and safe hands, so we can focus upon rejuvenation: acclimating to the energies and replenishing. Because once we observe the world this month, we can be ready in idea, plan, and energy to start putting things into action next month.
Helper:
As I was wrapping up my channeling for this month’s energies a trickster messenger came forwards. Great change, like new year energies, new political leaders, and even mass migrations are the playgrounds for the trickster spirits. These guides know how to navigate such tumultuous times with joy and safety.
If you are feeling the need for greater assistance this month as you process and acclimate to these changes, consider befriending a trickster spirit. Such as: snake to whisper guidance to navigate environments into your ear, the fox to shadow your dangers (people not acting in your best interest), or raven to scout ahead.
There is no reason for you to navigate this month or the coming year alone. You are provided guidance and support, if you choose to invite them into your life. Open up and relinquish the world into the hands of Spirit, allow the flow of life, and listen/watch out for the support from your spiritual family. There is no reason why you can’t enjoy January and the coming year.
