I have to be honest, I’m struggling with this one. My goal for this year has been to rediscover my fire and bring back my passion, motivation, and drive. I’ve been stuck in my feelings for so long that to embrace the energies of water (emotions, receptivity, ‘flow’) seems like a step backwards. So what do these opposite energies have to tell me this month?

I think it’s all about balance. I still need to find my fire, but I need to temper that with water. I guess the lesson is to not let the pendulum swing all the way to the other side so that I forget the lessons that I’ve learned here in this watery space of low-key depression and extreme self-involvement. Life is complicated and so is magick. It’s all related.

As always, I chose my word using bibliomancy with the book The Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects by Barbara G. Walker. If you decide to pursue bibliomancy as a divinatory technique, I recommend finding a big, juice book like this to help you find your signs!
