Aquarius: The Element of Fixed Air

Well, it’s Aquarius Season, winter, the element of Fixed Air .  It’s icy and frigid, but it’ll tell you all you need to know if you just listen. We’ve spent days, weeks, years, and even decades honing our craft and waiting for the ideal moment to “come along”. Well without further ado, this is thatmoment!   It is time to share what you’ve learned. You’ve spent so much time refining your steps and clearing your way that now is your chance to shine. To put yourself out there completely.  I’m sure there has been a point in your life when you can recollect a lesson that you just did not understand at first, but with retrospect, were able to see the pattern of it all.  Be it a squabble with a friend, a period when you felt at the top of your game, or a period when you felt a bit more uneasy. It never ceases to amaze me to see how patterns appear in our lives just when we need them the most. 

Transformative COURSES & WORKSHOPS that make integrating peaceful living, health and wellness easy, fun and affordable.

Aquarius is the zodiac sign that goes from January 20th to February 18th. It’s time to start warming up from the inside out, metaphorically speaking. Every element has a season, the coldest of which being the fixed air element. During this time the sun may not always be the source of warmth.  In order to get that blood pumping within you need to be creative.  And that is how I have chosen to live my life… 

We’re so preoccupied with the upcoming steps that we forget how far we’ve already come.  “How am I going to educate the ones who genuinely have talent?” I remember wondering in school before earning my teaching certificate. Is what I know enough?  I quickly realized that it’s about so much more than how you seem on paper. Sure, it may look simple coming from someone who has achieved such recognition. But what I mean is that, yes, I learned pedagogy in order to teach and It was quite valuable. However, my capacity to relate via storytelling, or telling my journey, was also beneficial. You’re curious as to why I made certain decisions? Take a moment to listen to my story. I’ve realized that your narrative doesn’t have to be expressed in words; it might be told through symbols, a mindset, or a set of values that a group of people shares. Please don’t get the wrong idea about what I’m saying. It takes a lot more than a thought to influence someone’s beliefs.

It takes effort and dedication, as well as years of experience under your belt. And that is seen as credible not just through academics but also, if not more so, in the years you have lived. We all seek a place where we can tell our stories. To be heard and understood. It doesn’t matter what it looks like.  Be it a teacher’s letter of recommendation, a night of watching movies with a sister, a raise from a boss, or anything as simple or as complex as a thank you. You’ve had a lot of experiences that have added to the depth of your story. It’s now time to share it. With whom are you going to share it? Who are the people in your inner circle?

Based on your life experiences, there are some realities that you know to be true. They must be shared! If you work with others and share your experiences, they begin to take on a life of their own. You begin to appreciate the uniqueness of your life and realize that the canvas isn’t complete until you add your own personal touch. It’s about writing the blog, teaching the class, and sharing your perspective on life with your community! It’s what you’ve spent every waking second working on. This isn’t about sharing your insecurities with the world. You may always choose to hold them dear to your heart and release them when the time is right. We’re talking about the community you’re creating right now. Who is your village? 

At the end of the day, all we want is to be noticed. This does not have to imply that you must be physically present. Even if they believe they do, many individuals do not want to be in the spotlight. 

At some level, we all have this inclination of comparing ourselves to others. It doesn’t matter if we admit it or not. The fact is that it takes all kinds, and you are here to be one of them. The medicine is in the work that you put in. Do you exclusively place bets on other people or do you remember to put your money on yourself? 

Aquarius teaches you how to descend from life’s peaks and share your knowledge with your community. The beauty of it all is that it doesn’t matter how you got here. Unless you wish it to, your tale does not have to disclose your deepest and darkest secrets! Your secrets, as always, are safe with you. Allow your community to grow through telling stories. *Hint: remember to listen just as much as you talk 😉 

Working with the natural world has changed the way I travel. Life is nothing more than a succession of solar eclipses. For more information on this season, Fixed Air ,  and how it affects your journey, go to www.braggindesign.com.
