(19) poems to embrace winter stagnation
Creative formulas to enjoy the last weeks of the year according to your zodiac sign + my favorite songs from my Spotify Wrapped
Hellooo,
I have had very busy days (hashtag blessed :p) working non-stop day to day with little to no time for personal space and writing. I’m finally here at home, listening to SOS by Sza, with some ideas in mind. To let go of these past days full of action in the cold I will have a few hours to myself writing down intuitive poems, pull some tarot cards and let myself flow.
I’ve done this exercise inspired by Astropoets before in summer, I wrote a poem/horoscope for every zodiac sign and dedicated a song, too.
Today I’ll do the same, you’ll get your horoscope and I’ll randomly pick an activity, a creative formula that you can do one of these last days of the year. You can use the prompt to get into a new energy, switch it up a little; maybe use it to relax, get your head to rest; or to begin to visualize, ignite the creative spark to design what your 2023 is going to look like.
You’ll know how to use these words and prompts.
I have some new people reading me so I would love to get to know something about yourself, first of all, what’s your sign? what are some of your goals for 2023? get inspired, I read you.
