Imbolc<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Sabbat, Imbolc observes the halfway mark between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It happens while the sun is in Aquarius, which is linked to humanitarianism, innovation and forward thinking (and can we sure use a lot more of that\u00a0<\/em>right around now!). So Imbolc’s ideal for dreaming, planning and setting long term goals. And this year, Neptune will start moving into Aries–which hasn’t happened since the 1870s. This\u00a0<\/em>heralds a shift from introspection to courage, initiation and the origination of spiritual ideals. Shifts in ideologies and social movements may occur, as well as more self expression and consideration of personal relationships. (That’s my cue to hide under the couch at home!)<\/p>\n
