February isn’t asking you to push forward—it’s asking you to tend something quiet that has just begun to bloom. In this month’s intuitive reading, we explore February as a unique bridge month this year: a time for nourishment, patience, and becoming that may not yet be visible. Like a Lenten Rose blooming in winter, we look at how care—not force—is what allows something tender to open in its own time, and how redefining luxury as spaciousness can support what’s quietly unfolding within you. If you’ve been sensing something new taking root but aren’t sure how to meet it yet, this reading offers a grounded way to recognize it, tend it, and give it the conditions it needs to grow.
