This week is pretty special whether it feels like it or not.

You’re starting off the week with a New Moon and the Lunar New Year, bringing in the Year of The Pig with all the guts and glory to really pack a punch in 2019. There’s a lot of eager energy mixing around out there, and it’s really going to settle in within the first half of the week.

With that New Moon on Monday, occurring around 4:04pm EST, it would be very beneficial to really collect your thoughts and set some intentions not only for the month but for the whole year. Aquarius is going to bring a lot of new ideas, a lot of “world building” blueprints, and it can really lead to things being unlocked or decoded in a way that allows you to really push forward with clarity. So, definitely pay attention to bits of inspiration that come to you this week.

Of course, with all that bustling energy some people can become a bit too overloaded and try to do too much at once, try to get all those ideas out in the open way before they’ve had a chance to really be processed. Others may feel the pressure of that energy and get to a point where they can’t move and just shut down. Balance and awareness of yourself and the world around you can really help you stay grounded and motivated this week.

Take advantage of that breath of fresh air at the beginning of the week and see where that wind can take you. Manage yourself well and allow balance and flow within the physical plain to be the priority. Be proactive, but don’t strain yourself. Be diligent, but allow yourself to breathe. Balance really is key.

Some of you may be drifting outside of your social circles for the sake of soul searching or just dedicating yourself to your personal progression both internally and externally. Your focus should be on yourself this week, your dedication should be directed towards leveling up in life, so don’t feel guilty about stepping back from other people and doing your own thing for a while. Even if it seems like other people are the ones moving away from you, allow it to happen. Other people need their space to grow just as much as you do.

Almost every time there’s a shift in energy or something new comes along, there’s always a need to remind some Earth Signs out there to go with the flow. It is in your nature to want things to stay on track and to be somewhat predictable, finding comfort in having control and stability. Totally understandable, but this week is really centered around evolution. The process of evolution itself is quite messy and unpredictable, it hardly makes sense when you look at it from an outside perspective, but when you are the one experiencing it, every individual step makes sense. Try to keep that in mind this week. Just try to flow with where nature, the Universe, wants to take you and ground yourself in those individual steps. You are being lead somewhere magnificent.

Some of you may actually need to clean up and organize your space this week. A lot of the energies in January left many Fire Signs frazzled and mixed up, and your surroundings may have started to match that. Whether it be your physical space or just your mental space, it’s a good week to really clear things out and get organized. Really center yourself and put effort into getting focused on what you want to do and setting up a good work space for yourself. That clean and refreshed energy will help you flow better with and be more receptive to the messages and inspiration that will be coming through this week. This is the real start to 2019, a lot is going to take off this year, so be sure that you have yourself a good command center to work from.

Setting intentions, spending time in meditation, and making moves to put action behind your plans and goals is the focus this week. There may be a bit of strain for some of you as you might feel like you’re being pulled in a few different directions, feeling a bit spacey, or confused, not too sure what to focus on. Just try to maintain your stability and focus. Practice visualization and keep your eye on the prize, embody the energy of what you are trying to manifest, and keep that vision clear. The Universe is really working to help you build up what you want to see happen in your life, it just takes time and energy to really anchor it in. Stay mindful of how far you’ve come already and trust yourself, your Guides, and your Higher Self to move you even further. You’re not alone in this.
