FEBRUARY 4, 2023 // love note from anjie

the first day of spring

It's 9°F right now in NYC. It's really cold. According to the lunisolar calendar that we used in Chinese astrology, today is the first day of spring! It may seem counterintuitive, but this highlights how qi is slow and not always “seen”. 

Today is also the 49th day ceremony for my friend's passing. This marks the end of her bardo as she is reincarnated. Springtime is a re-birth and new beginning.

What is being re-born for you today?

Coming soon:

Mindful Homes

My new book Mindful Homes: create healing living spaces with mindfulness and feng shui is available for pre-order. It will be available wherever books are sold on April 11, 2023.

Still available:

Welcoming the Wealth Gods

The Lunar New Year Ceremonies are still available through mid Februrary. It's not too late! 

The Golden Cicada is especially helpful for those born in the year of Rabbit, Rooster, and Dragon

At the Holistic Spaces Store:

Challenging Relationships

This time of year, I notice that many people get very fearful and binary about “is this a good year or a bad year for my zodiac animal”. I would encourage you to see beyond the conditioning of “good or bad”.

One thing I love about the Lunar New Year charms I make every year, is that we are reminded that our paths have more ease when we hold our best friends close to our hearts.
