Empathize
by Samantha Mee, Citizen Instructor
Our astrology throughout the next year is creating space for the imagination, spiritual growth, a sense of surrender and deeper faith. From January 11, 2025 until July 26 2026, the north node will be making its way through the sign of Pisces. The north node (our collective destiny, is what we are embracing and moving toward) is in the final sign of the zodiac Pisces, where it urges you to nourish your spiritual and energetic body.
As a yogi, this is an opportunity for you to remember that first and foremost your practice is a spiritual one before a physical one. Pisces is a place of healing, forgiveness and deep surrender to the divine. It can be the perfect space to explore practices that get you into the subtler, energetic realms, such as meditation, breathwork, dreamwork, reiki etc.
Pisces, being a water sign, is also connected to the lymphatic system within the physical body. Your lymphatic system is almost like the sewage or overflow system for your body. Your lymph nodes grab and move excessive fluid that builds and creates overflow between the cells back toward your heart to be processed and discarded from your body. This is synonymous to the themes of healing and release that Pisces also promotes emotionally and energetically. Gentle movement, dry brushing, gua sha, and lymphatic massage can provide support to the release of these fluids and toxins during this time.
Take a moment to reflect on your relationship to your spiritual self. Are you able to let go of the need to control the outcome of everything and go with the flow? What does it mean to have faith in something greater than yourself? Do you feel trusting in the universe or some Higher Power as you have come to know and understand it? This would also be a great time to practice forgiveness, to release the past and step into the vibration of unconditional love! Metta meditation can be a wonderful way to cultivate that.
Be gentle with yourself, know you can soften a little. It is okay if you are feeling heightened sensitivity and more in tune to the energies around you. Pay attention to your dreams, invoke your imagination and expand your creativity. Empathy will be your superpower for the next year!
