Today is Thursday, April 2nd 2026, which means yesterday was Fool’s Day!

And I mean that in a Major Arcana-esque way.

Energetically we are in the Season of Foolishness, Aries Season,

a season for bursting forth with fresh energy, launching new things with perhaps more passion than foresight and getting busy with that infamous phenomenon known as spring fever.

I recently- just in passing online- picked up on someone using the word “libido” to describe the energy needed to maintain a creative career, and I thought :

Yes! That is so Aries… the creative libido that gets things started.

And then my next thought was a question :

How do we cultivate that libido year round in order to not only finish what we start in Aries season but also to feel alive and fresh in our work each day?

And that question came with a clear answer :

We step to the edge.

We start each morning by asking ourselves :

Where is the next edge?

Where is my next creative growth edge?

What scares but also excites me?

What on my current plate of potentials will require me to grow if I choose to go there?

And then we dare ourselves to go there.

The Fool’s season is the perfect time to get into this habit, to practice following your passion and getting into action without overthinking it, to make moves daily and keep stepping to the edge…
