Just as each astrological season has a different, unique energy, each calendar year has a different unique energy. To set yourself up for success and make the most out of each year, it is important to understand the energy of that particular year. Learning more about the energy forecast can help you navigate the year – especially the challenges of the year. That’s why we’re sharing an overview of 2023 and a few energy tips to help you throughout the year.
The 2023 Energy Forecast
This year, there are two main prevailing energies: joy and softness. Last year, the Year of the Tiger, emphasized energy that was a little more fiery and fierce. 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit and, while we're not taking it easy, we're going about our lives with a new softness and plenty of compassion for ourselves and others. While there is an energy of taking action and moving forward, there is also an element of showing ourselves grace.
The challenge this year will be to find the balance between taking action towards our goals without harshness or excess rigidity, and to learn how to be more flexible, less uptight and more tapped into easygoing joy as you pursue your goals and intentions.
To sum it up, the challenge this year will be to find the balance between these dual energies, and to learn how to be thoughtful, strategic, and clear as you pursue your goals and intentions.
The 2023 Crystal of the Year: Peacock Ore
Peacock Ore is the 2023 Crystal of the Year because it embodies both magical, inspiring, and goal-getting energy as well as soft, easygoing energy. It's an instant mood booster and total life-of-the-party in a crystal. Its magical and multidimensional energy smiles at you, keeping your mood high and reminding you that not only are bright days ahead but you have a proud peacock within you! When you stay joyful you keep your energy high and are able to tackle anything thrown your way. This is the perfect stone to work with throughout the year to stay inspired and keep going in joy when things get a little tough all year long.
Whether you display a raw Peacock Ore crystal in your home, or start a daily practice with the 2023 Infinity Grid Crystal Set, this stone can remind you that the magic is always within you, and that you can choose the path of joy, which will get you to the same place as a harsh or uptight mindset – which is just the happy and compassionate energy combination we all need this year!
