Acknowledge the Bittersweet


Thanks for readng! Any follows, likes, subs or shares are much appreciated!

New Year traditions around the world often include literal housecleaning. New Years, whenever on the calendar you celebrate it, is a big ‘out with the old, in with the new’ kind of vibe.

The ten of wands energy that has been around for the past few days or s0 isn’t finished with us yet and has called for reinforcements in the form of the five of cups.

The idea of releasing the broken things that no longer serve us and letting them be repaired, refreshed, renewed or reused by others is still here. The idea of releasing old obligations and giving yourself permission to deeply enjoy scaled-down holidays feels just as strong for the new year phase of the holidays as it was for the christmas part.

Letting go of obligations or dialing down the observance of traditions is liberating, but also wistful. Feelings of loss or grief can come hand in hand with the lightness and release. Change is a two edged sword. The wheel of change moves up and down at the same time. It is OK to acknowledge the emotions of this season just as much as it is OK to release the obligations of the season. Releasing the old is an act of courage and hope, one of trust that the void will be filled with the right thing for this place in time.

Thanks again for reading! See you at the next sip!
