22-28 february ◆ liminal living

If the last week was trying, this week has a less demanding to-do list for us. It may not feel like an easy week, but it does hold a few opportunities to make progress if we come prepared. This could mean being ready to act and transmit or ready to be open and receive. Our society values constant connection and willingness to act, shifting our focus primarily to the future. This doesn’t honor our need to be present with what is actually happening at the moment. The anticipation of what is to come and the investment in keeping to our plans separate us from what is going on right now. Most of us try to embody this with meditation and other practices, but soaking up the nutrients of the now is something most of us can be more engaged with in some area of our lives. This week asks us to recognize the realness of liminal spaces and appreciate crossing a threshold can take one step or many, many steps. Time has a feeling and a flexible nature.
This week starts with a building increase of energy. We are feeling more dynamic and seeking outlets for our ambitions. This could be an advantageous time to inquire within about what motivates our desires and aspirations. Now is not the time to focus on our personal impulses but to use our individual talents for collective change and rebuilding. If we are unable to align our own needs with a broader purpose or at least help others in the process of helping ourselves, those actions are likely to return to corrode our standing later. Repairing our potency, vitality, or bodies through physical activities is more manageable than usual for the moment.
By the middle of the week, we have an influx of creativity and inspiration washing up onto the shore. It helps to be prepared to step into flow when the current is strong, but it will be tough to fault anyone who wants to just relax into receiving at this time. Even if we are determined to accomplish something, openness to working with what shows up will benefit us. Using our imaginations in the spirit of curiosity and inventiveness may illuminate the unique parts of ourselves as a source of inspiration. If we are still working on reconfiguring our approach to the issues from last week, this could be our lamp in the darkness. Consider the parts of your identity that are unusual or weird and look for encouragement there.
To finish the week, we find our creative wave cresting. If some ideas or plans have been forming over the week or have been brewing for longer, the details of how to bring them into the world may become apparent. It could also be a reality check, asking us how reasonable or practical our proposals are. If they are not up to scratch, they may wash away now. Either way, illumination and clarity are emphasized and show us the way forward and what is dragging us down. It is a useful time to clean out a part of our living/working spaces or organize a part of our lives that has become disorderly.
