Success is not the time when things finally fall into place, but the time when we are able to dance despite unanswered questions, unknowns, losses, injuries. We must move as if we have already arrived, as that is how we get there.
Brianna Wiest, The Pivot Year
June
June’s new beginnings include trusting others after a period of self-preservation and nursing the wounds of past betrayals. They have learned the lessons they were meant to learn, and mourn their loss of innocence and uncorrupted faith in others. But now they begin the journey to adulthood. Knowing from your own experience that people can disappoint you, but give them a chance to support you, love you, and protect you anyway. By actively choosing to be vulnerable, knowing that you are strong and how to pick yourself up again when you fall. Always trying to see and find the best in life, even if you know you can’t avoid the worst. It’s time for June to focus on the way forward, now that they’ve made peace with the past.
Aries
April’s fresh start includes committing to lifestyle changes. A change that completely changes their daily routines and feelings. They don’t just change a single habit, such as when they eat or drink, they change the way they talk, think, and behave with others. It is as much a mental, emotional and spiritual change as it is physical. They don’t just incorporate good habits into their schedule, they create and design a life filled with things that bring them joy. That’s a new place to start, asking yourself, “What really makes me happy?” The journey is about finding all the possible answers to that question, even the ones they don’t already know.
February
The new beginning of February is about being true to themselves. About not making yourself smaller or quieter or more lovable to anyone else. About speaking their minds honestly and truthfully, and feeling empowered to stand up for themselves. They don’t owe anyone an explanation or permission to think what they think, love who they love, or live the life they love. The days of trying not to ruffle feathers or sin on the road are over. They don’t do anything directly harmful to anyone, so worrying about offending others for being different is a thing of the past. It’s their time to shine, time to shine, time to be what they were born to be.
September
September’s fresh start is all about self-renewal. About being all the things they’ve always wanted to be, but were too afraid to try, or weren’t sure they could pull off. Those born in September are ready to take that leap of faith and embody all the qualities they’ve been longing for for years. They will be the person who dresses up and finishes every song with a spritz of perfume. They will wear jewelry with various metals, and style their hair in a signature style. They will read more books, in foreign languages, and treat themselves to extravagant meals without any celebration. They will live life as if there is something exciting about it every day, even if it is just being themselves.
