In about one week’s time, we will be welcoming the Year of the Ox. The Ox’s all about hard-work, collaboration and integrity. As the moon’s energy decreases and shadows form this week, it’s a powerful time to seek guidance from the oracle card, on what needs to be released before the Ox arrives.

I drew the action card: Break the Chain.

Have you ever heard of trans-generational trauma? Although there’re some critics out there regarding this topic, and I didn’t mean to be dramatic, but according to researches, we can actually carry emotional trauma for up to 7 generations back. These traumas could be transmitted epigenetically, biologically and/or through psychological and social aspects.

It’s crazy right? In order to reach inner peace, not only do we need to get our shit together during the troubled times we go through personally, we also need to heal the traumas from the past that are not even ours 😫.

This card is calling us to break family patterns and old ways of being that no longer serve us. It is now the time to free up the energy and clear our luminous field.

Think about what’re the (bad) habits that have been in your family for generations, and what part of your future you would like to rewrite.

For me personally, my family tends to be too honest and loyal to others, giving way too many second chances, and not honest enough to ourselves. I’m going to be true to myself, proudly express my individuality while help uplift the people and causes that matter to me.

Hope as the new Lunar year approaches, we can all start to heal ourselves, and try to be the most vibrant and confident versions of ourselves that we know we can be 💖.
