February in Review: What We Learned & Whatâs Next
This month felt like one of those weird, in-between spacesâthe kind where youâre not quite at the starting line anymore, but youâre also not fully in stride yet. February was the pause before the momentum, the inhale before the exhale, and if you felt like you were still waiting to find your footing this year, you werenât alone.
The Cosmic Undercurrents of February
Astrologically speaking, February held the tension of Saturnâs lessons and Piscesâ slow unravelingâasking us to trust the unknown while still keeping our feet on the ground. Itâs no surprise that themes of discomfort, emotional avoidance, and the weight of expectations emerged again and again. The 8 of Wands was this monthâs tarot pull, a card of movement and momentum, reminding us that even when things feel still, energy is already shifting beneath the surface. Some of the biggest takeaways:
A reminder that the thing youâre resisting is often the thing that will move you forward.
If youâve ever felt trapped by your own ambition, this one was for you.
A reflection on carrying contradictions and the way we hold onto things weâre still learning to let go of.
This sparked some of the most conversation this monthâbecause maybe abundance isnât what we think it is.
If you missed any of these, nowâs your chance to catch up.
What This Month Taught Us
One thing that kept coming up in conversations, comments, and messages this month? How easy it is to feel trapped by our own expectations. We want clarity, but we also want freedom. We want to feel safe, but we also want to feel limitless. And somewhere in between those two is the space where we learn to hold both.
If youâve been feeling stuck, hereâs what I want you to remember: You donât have to figure everything out before you take the next step. Discomfort isnât proof youâre doing something wrongâitâs often the sign that youâre on the edge of something meaningful.
February reminded me that we donât have to rush to the finish line. And if youâre feeling like you need a little more clarity, energy, or direction, youâre not alone.
Whatâs Coming in March
March is going to be a big one. The new podcastâPer My Last Thoughtâis launching March 14th, and Iâm making sure it feels just as unfiltered, insightful, and direct as we are here. Expect deep dives, overexplained answers to questions you didnât know you had, and the kind of conversations that make you rethink everything.
Iâll also be diving deeper into what it really means to trust yourself, how to stop waiting to feel "ready," and what happens when you actually let go of old stories. If youâve got something you want me to cover, let me know.
Final Thoughts
If February felt slow, uncertain, or frustrating, that doesnât mean March wonât bring clarity. Not every season is about accelerationâsome are about realignment. If the 8 of Wands is any indication, movement is already happeningâyou just might not see the full picture yet.
So if youâre still figuring it out, youâre right on time. The magic is in the liminal space.
