This first phase in our journey begins on the heels of Lunar New Year - the year of the snake representing wisdom and transformation - as the sun journeys through Aquarius and Pisces. This is the time of awakening, where we step into the quiet potential of the year ahead. We look to the teachings of the Rowan and Ash trees—symbols of resilience and connection according to the Celtic Tree Calendar for February and March. As the days gradually lengthen, the seeds we plant now, in both our outer world and inner selves, are infused with hope and collective healing.
