2019 is the year we use our wings

2016 was the year of the caterpillar.

2017 was the year of the cocoon.

2018 was the year of the butterfly.

2019 is the year of reaching new heights and spreading our wings.

Every year is a foundation for the next

2018, according to numerology, was an 11 year. A year of infinite possibilities. It was true for me and my friends that so much of what we were working towards or longing for (engagements, weddings, babies, new jobs etc.) came into being. In other words, we received our wings. The shadow side of 2018, with all those things coming to us, was that it could at times feel uncomfortable, overwhelming or even scary. It makes so much sense now that I think about it. Something coming in isn't the end of the story. We have to be willing to do the work if we want to keep or to grow what we've been asking for.

The Boss Year

2019 is a 3 year. A year of achievement or what numerologist Remington Donovan is calling a “boss” year. In 2019, we’re being called to take everything we manifested in 2018 and really use those things to start building our dreams. Or continuing the butterfly analogy, we're being called to spread our wings and start soaring! This year has so much potential. Can you feel it? If we’re truly living our life purpose, this year has the potential to bring desires we’ve had our whole lives to the surface.

The shadow side (there’s always 2 sides to everything) of 2019 is the timid side, or the opposite of “boss” energy which is feeling frightened of our power or capability. Who can relate? The great thing about numerology is that it teaches us that if the one side of the spectrum exists then so must the other (reminds me of the premise of the movie "Split"). If you’re residing on the negative side, says Remington, simply be aware that there’s always a switch and numerology can help light the way to flip it.

Ritual

In light of all you received in 2018 and the "boss" or overachiever energy of 2019, where are you feeling overwhelmed or disempowered? Light a candle, take three big, deep yogic breaths and journal for a few minutes. Try sit with what comes up for you for a moment. Where can you start to stand in your power and accept that you are living your life purpose? Think about this for a few moments and start to visualise flipping a switch. When you're ready, close your eyes and say out loud 3 times: "I flip the switch, stand in my power and accept my wings". And so it is!

Tune in to That's So Retrograde's first episode of the year. They talk about the boss energy of 2019 with Remington and so much more. Or read more about it, including a prediction from RockStar Shaman Alison Charles over on Well+Good.

Happy fluttering!
