When things are feeling bleak and nebulous, creativity offers us a chance to take back a little bit of control for ourselves.

Happy Lunar New Year and New Moon in Aquarius! 🧧🎆🎆🐍🌚 Now more than ever, we have to work together to build each other up and our communities.

We learn so much by doing. In this episode, I talk about why creative work is a PROCESS and what it can uncover for you (as it did for me while making my “Refract and Reflect” Oracle deck).

Why having a "word of the year" can be so valuable. I get into how a previous one served me and what I've chosen for 2025. Do you already have one?

My 2024 Full Moon in Aquarius collective reading featured the 4 of Cups, so I dug into my "tarot talk" archives to share a deeper dive into this card.

NOTE: The original video (from which this audio was pulled) was designed as a sleep aid, so it features a much more soft-spoken voice, closer to whispery ASMR.

You can still find the original at YouTube.com/@upwardbow. It's slower with many more pauses, but it should help with the sleep if you need it!

This Full Moon in Aquarius asks us to think ahead without losing our fervor to fight.

It's a time to understand what you want, what you're fighting for, and who's gonna help you make it a reality.
