Let's tend to ourselves as if
we were these extraordinary
Speaker:Lenten roses opening
in the winter of life.
Speaker:And these soft openings within you are
going to lead you to an even greater
Speaker:opening ahead.
Speaker:Hello and welcome back to
Remember Why You Are Here,
Speaker:a podcast for seekers and sensitives
where you can relax, receive,
Speaker:reconnect yourself, and remember
the most important thing of all:
Speaker:why you're here. I'm Asia
Suler, author, Earth intuitive,
Speaker:teacher, and this is our
reading for the month of
Speaker:February, 2026. A quick announcement
before we get started with this
Speaker:month's intuitive reading that tomorrow
is the very last day to sign up
Speaker:for my course Business as a
Spiritual Journey and get 40% off.
Speaker:This course is designed for all my
fellow empaths and sensitives to help you
Speaker:flourish on the path of entrepreneurship,
Speaker:to help you blossom and
bring your deepest soul
Speaker:visions to life, to help find gentleness,
Speaker:flow, and ease in the creation
of your business so that you
Speaker:can really step into the expansion
you're meant to experience in this
Speaker:lifetime. So if you know in
this wintertime that this is a
Speaker:big one of your goals, this is a
flower you would like to see bloom,
Speaker:then I would love to
see you in the program.
Speaker:We're about to get started with this
new cohort and that sale is ending
Speaker:tomorrow. So if you're interested,
Speaker:you can check out the link below.
This month is coming in with themes of
Speaker:blossoming that is here to nourish you,
Speaker:luxuries that give you
the space to expand,
Speaker:learning how to care for the tender
parts of you that are opening and
Speaker:setting yourself up for big
Speaker:movements and outward
expansion in the months ahead.
Speaker:So for this month's reading,
Speaker:I chose to work with the Mother Mary
Oracle deck by Alana Fairchild with Art by
Speaker:Shiloh Sophia McCloud.
Speaker:And I wanted to work with this deck
because I was already getting a feeling
Speaker:sense about February. I don't know,
Speaker:just this sense of needing a little
bit of comfort and holding and
Speaker:softness, and the card that
I picked did not disappoint.
Speaker:I feel like it is exactly what I needed
to hear for this month ahead and I
Speaker:think is going to be an important
continuation of a lot of the big
Speaker:stuff that I think we did and worked
through and realized in January.
Speaker:So the card that I picked for
this month is called Our Lady
Speaker:of Becoming.
Speaker:It's a beautiful card with a closeup
image of a woman's face and flowers
Speaker:blooming around her. And in this deck,
Speaker:Alana Fairchild writes about this card:
"You may have a sense that deep within
Speaker:you there is so much more than
what appears to be on the surface,
Speaker:so much more than what others can see.
Speaker:Even if you consider yourself
an open book so to speak,
Speaker:you may sense that within there is
something more of you yet to be. Well,
Speaker:this oracle comes to you with a
message: that which you sense within,
Speaker:that unfolding destiny of which you dream,
Speaker:will be."
And in this description,
Speaker:she goes on to talk about how this
card is really asking us to surrender
Speaker:the how- of how to get
from point A to point B,
Speaker:of how to blossom into what
we truly desire to experience,
Speaker:what we truly desire
to bring it into form.
Speaker:And to know that really following that
through-line of anything that fulfills
Speaker:our heart, that that
Speaker:is what is pointing us
towards our soul's destiny,
Speaker:to just follow what feels
fulfilling towards you,
Speaker:is how you let your soul's destiny unfurl.
Speaker:So there's this invitation to simply take
the next loving step in your life and
Speaker:to really trust yourself
over the opinions of others.
Speaker:She does also mention in the
description that there's this sense of,
Speaker:is anything happening at all?
Speaker:So this is sort of like a slow
incremental unfolding or change,
Speaker:but she really affirms, in
this description, she says,
Speaker:"you have a role and a purpose upon this
earth and cannot be replaced." You have
Speaker:a role and a purpose upon this
earth and cannot be replaced.
Speaker:"We all must become what we are as fully
and completely as our heart can dare."
Speaker:I love that aspect of daring that was
brought in here. So I really enjoyed
Speaker:reading this description.
Speaker:I feel like it was such a
beautiful grounding in this card,
Speaker:and it really helped me also deepen
my understanding of what came in for
Speaker:me when I first picked this card. Often
when I pick our card for the month,
Speaker:I pick the card and I drop into a
channeling session before I even
Speaker:look at the description of the card.
And so normally when I present the card,
Speaker:I'm presenting it a little bit backwards,
Speaker:because I'm presenting what
it says in the guidebook or
Speaker:how it's traditionally known. And
then I talk about my reading of it.
Speaker:But I often, I flip the
process when I pick the card:
Speaker:I pick the card and I go
into a channeling session.
Speaker:And then I let the information that's in
the guidebook be supporting what it is
Speaker:that I receive for us for this
collective here. And so in my reading
Speaker:for this month of February, 2026,
Speaker:I got the image and the words
"the Lenten rose." So if
Speaker:any of you're familiar with Lenten roses,
Speaker:it's another word for a
plant called a hellebore.
Speaker:It's a beautiful plant that is green,
Speaker:with above ground green parts
year-round, but gets these really lovely,
Speaker:rose-like flowers in
very, very early spring,
Speaker:late winter. So our Lenten
roses are hellebores,
Speaker:which we have a whole hillside of bloom
around Valentine's Day every year,
Speaker:which is so sweet and so special.
And the sense that I
Speaker:got is that there is this quiet
blooming happening this month,
Speaker:this quiet blooming that is
on offer for us this month.
Speaker:This blooming is connected to a part of
you that maybe you haven't given much
Speaker:attention or care to. Maybe
you've been really busy,
Speaker:maybe you've had a lot going on.
Speaker:There was so much I feel like in January
that we were creating and pushing
Speaker:forward and making happen.
Speaker:And there's this sense that if we give
this part of ourself that softness,
Speaker:that holding that care,
Speaker:that it will allow us to bloom
in a much bigger way in the
Speaker:months ahead,
Speaker:that there's more outward
expansion and creation
Speaker:and change that is going to
happen for us. But in this month,
Speaker:it's almost like this cozy
little turning inwards to hold
Speaker:a part of ourself that is tender in it's
becoming. And I got very strongly this
Speaker:image of literally taking care of a rose.
Speaker:So we need to learn how to
take care of flowers so that
Speaker:they will open.
Speaker:I remember when I first received
roses, however old I was,
Speaker:probably a teenager.
Speaker:I had no idea that you had to tend
a rose in order for it to open
Speaker:fully. I thought you get the flowers, you
plunk 'em in some water and that's it.
Speaker:But actually, if you want,
especially a cut flower,
Speaker:to really reach its
full bloom in your care,
Speaker:you need to actually take
care and tend to that flower.
Speaker:You need to trim the flour,
put that flower and water,
Speaker:sometimes put flower food into the
water. You need to keep it trimmed,
Speaker:trim it every couple days,
Speaker:and then it will keep unfurling
more and more. So there's this level
Speaker:where I often think that we
expect something to bloom in our
Speaker:life and for the ... to have
that bloom take care of us.
Speaker:But the reality is we actually have to
take care of our own blooming and our
Speaker:own becoming. Yes, when
that bloom, that flower,
Speaker:that part of ourself is fully
opened, fully an experience,
Speaker:fully an expression,
Speaker:it will take care of us in that it is
taking care of the part of our soul that
Speaker:wants to be expressed in that way.
Speaker:It will draw to us the opportunities that
we need and crave and are yearning for
Speaker:in our life,
Speaker:but we need to have that piece of
responsibility of taking care of our own
Speaker:blooming in the meantime. The tender
parts of us that are blooming,
Speaker:they need a little bit of
ongoing touch and care. And
Speaker:what I'm really sensing here this month
is that there is already a blooming
Speaker:underway for you. It's already underway.
Speaker:It's just that it needs a
little bit of tenderness and
Speaker:love during this time. So the message
that came in for me here was shelter this
Speaker:bloom on the sunny side of your house.
Speaker:I literally got an image of the sunny
side of your house in wintertime and the
Speaker:flowers there being able to bloom
sooner than the flowers elsewhere.
Speaker:This is how we nurture blooms in winter,
Speaker:whether it's the physical winter
surrounding us or it's an inner winter or
Speaker:winter of our life,
Speaker:is having those parts of us that
we're sheltering with the warm
Speaker:sides of our care,
Speaker:of our love and really letting
that bloom happen in the shelter
Speaker:of that warmth. Specifically, I think
about this month, this month of February,
Speaker:we have Valentine's Day, we have
Speaker:these holidays of care and
attention and devotion and love.
Speaker:And to see this blooming part of yourself,
Speaker:to see your own body as your valentine,
Speaker:to take care of yourself with tenderness
and love and gentleness in this
Speaker:way. And also, along with this,
Speaker:is to really allow whatever is blooming
and opening for you right now - maybe
Speaker:it's a new kind of awareness,
maybe it's a new passion,
Speaker:maybe it's a new relationship - but
to allow whatever this blooming is to
Speaker:be for you,
Speaker:almost like buying yourself
flowers this month.
Speaker:It's like allow this
blooming to be for you,
Speaker:to nourish you.
And the way that we do that,
Speaker:the way that we can enjoy this own
blossoming in our life is to ask
Speaker:yourself, what are some little
luxuries I can give myself this month?
Speaker:And I want to reframe this. That
luxury is not about expensive things.
Speaker:Luxury is about giving your
spirit the space to expand,
Speaker:the space that it needs to expand,
Speaker:to feel like it has space to reach its
Speaker:full unfurling. That's what a luxury is.
Speaker:So are there some little
luxuries you can give
Speaker:yourself in this process of
unfurling and blooming this month?
Speaker:What moments of expansion
can you give yourself?
Speaker:In what way can you just relax a little
bit into the contours of your being? So
Speaker:if there is a little trip you've
been thinking about or a night
Speaker:away you wanted to take or
something really cozy you want to
Speaker:get for yourself, I just get the feeling
like this month is the time for that.
Speaker:Do that this month.
Speaker:I get the sense that things are going to
start moving again in a little bit more
Speaker:rapid way once we get to March.
And so in this month, it's like,
Speaker:what are some little pleasures
you can allow yourself?
Speaker:What are the times you can take?
Speaker:Is there time you can take to just relax
into your own container and into your
Speaker:own expansion?
Blooming itself is a motion of relaxing
Speaker:open. That's what blooming is.
Speaker:And so any ways in which we can
allow ourself these micro moments of
Speaker:blooming, of relaxing open,
Speaker:of lowering our expectations a little bit,
Speaker:of giving ourselves more space,
more gentleness, like I said,
Speaker:taking that trip to the spa or
the sauna or that walk in the
Speaker:woods, whatever those things are,
Speaker:to allow yourself these
little moments of reprieve.
Speaker:That kept coming through for me.
Little moments of reprieve.
Speaker:Like moments where you could just exhale
and just allow your shoulders down a
Speaker:little bit.
Speaker:Anytime you allow yourself to relax just
a little bit to soften just a little
Speaker:bit,
Speaker:you're allowing this further
blooming to take place. This is
Speaker:how true becoming actually happens.
Speaker:It's when you allow yourself
to bloom within yourself and
Speaker:for yourself first,
Speaker:being nurtured and nourished
by your own energy of becoming,
Speaker:and blooming to really enjoy yourself.
Speaker:That's kind of the query for this month:
Speaker:How can you enjoy yourself this month?
Speaker:I often have this thing
where I say, where I'm like,
Speaker:if I can't get a kick out
of myself, then who will?
Speaker:If I can't get a kick on
myself, then what's the point?
Speaker:What's the point of this life? I
want to be able to enjoy myself,
Speaker:to get a kick out of my own
zaniness or whatever it is,
Speaker:the things that just make me come
alive because this is who I am in this
Speaker:lifetime. This is the body
I am, this is system I'm in,
Speaker:this is who I am, how I operate.
Speaker:And so why not find ways to enjoy that?
Speaker:So there's a deep invitation
this month of how can you enjoy
Speaker:yourself?
I remember this meme,
Speaker:I think it's the first meme I ever
saved ever online, when I realized, oh,
Speaker:you can save a meme. And it
said, "In a room full of people,
Speaker:want yourself first." That's the energy
we're coming into this month with:
Speaker:"in a room full of people, want
yourself first." What do you want?
Speaker:What helps you feel yummy and
grounded inside of yourself?
Speaker:I really see February as this
interesting bridge month. It always is.
Speaker:Every year, January we start out hot
out of the gate. We have our goals,
Speaker:we have our intentions,
we have our projects,
Speaker:we have all the things
that we're trying to do.
Speaker:It's like there's an intensity
often into January. And then,
Speaker:at least where I live,
spring starts in March.
Speaker:That's really when things start to
get underway to start moving towards a
Speaker:different direction, a different season.
This is when the Equinox happens...
Speaker:February is this bridge month.
Speaker:It's this time where we
might be asked to slow
Speaker:down a little bit again,
Speaker:to take stock of where we actually
want to become spring versus
Speaker:what we've been pushing or building
towards. It is a short month.
Speaker:It's shorter than any
other month of the year.
Speaker:And so it's this interesting
pause, this interesting breath,
Speaker:this interesting time where the light
is quickening. You might notice,
Speaker:if you're in the northern hemisphere,
Speaker:that sunsets actually seem to
take a little bit longer now.
Speaker:There is more light every day.
Speaker:And also that that daylight is stretching
out for us and in the transition
Speaker:times. And so there's a reason why in
the Celtic calendar and the Celtic Wheel
Speaker:of the Year, Imbolc,
Speaker:this celebration that happens
at the beginning of February
is the celebration of
Speaker:the first light. It's
when you make candles,
Speaker:it's you're celebrating the
very first lambs that are being
Speaker:born. It's a time when there is
this quickening, this opening,
Speaker:this softening into what will be spring.
Speaker:And so I really feel like this
February for us in particular
Speaker:is an invitation in
what I sense is going to
Speaker:be a really big year. A lot
is going to happen this year.
Speaker:I'm sure you made a lot happen already
in January or a lot happened to you. And
Speaker:so there's this invitation with February
of just allowing yourself to really
Speaker:relish and tend to your own
blooming, your own blossoming,
Speaker:whatever is happening inside you right
now, and that this will really give you
Speaker:the ground and the groundedness to step
into a bigger version of yourself come
Speaker:spring. There's a bigger version
of yourself that is unroot
Speaker:in this coming spring and...
or in this March and April,
Speaker:the months ahead, and there'll
be more energy picking up then,
Speaker:there'll be more outward energy,
there'll be more happening.
Speaker:So this February feels like a
really important nourishment time,
Speaker:and I really encourage you to sink
into that in the ways that you can.
Speaker:When flowers open, that's
how they call in pollinators.
Speaker:That's what flowers are.
Flowers are like big,
Speaker:beautiful flags that call
in the opportunities,
Speaker:the pollinators, the energies that
they need to create more life,
Speaker:to create more. And so that's
what your flowering is.
Speaker:It's you allowing more of your
energy to the surface of your body,
Speaker:to the surface of your
expression in this world.
Speaker:And through allowing more of
your energy into this world,
Speaker:calling into you the
opportunities, the people,
Speaker:the situations that will help
you take these next steps,
Speaker:will help you continue to expand
in your soul's path. And the
Speaker:way that we allow these
aspects of our energy to
Speaker:make this outer manifestation to
unfold in the outer world is through
Speaker:tending and enjoying them
first within ourselves,
Speaker:to being with this blossom
inside of ourselves.
Speaker:And I really have this
feeling that even if no one
Speaker:else sees this blooming
for you this month,
Speaker:that if you are allowing yourself to sink
into it, to nourish it, to relish it,
Speaker:that it will really
give you that energy to,
Speaker:as we move into the further
months into this year,
Speaker:really call in what you're desiring and
give you a conduit to allow more of your
Speaker:gifts to come through.
Speaker:That's why this little inner
blossoming is happening right now.
Speaker:In whatever small unseen corner
of your life or your inner self,
Speaker:this blossoming is happening so that
you will trust your gifts more so
Speaker:that you will be able to allow
those gifts to translate and move
Speaker:through you. Because when
you allow yourself to bloom,
Speaker:you allow this gift to flow. So if I
really had to summarize this month,
Speaker:I would be like, it's a treat yo'self
kind of month. That's what it is.
Speaker:It's like treat yourself. I am like
I here for that. Let's do that.
Speaker:Let's treat ourselves,
Speaker:and let's tend to ourselves
as if we were these
Speaker:extraordinary Lenten roses opening
in the winter of life and bringing
Speaker:so much beauty and so
much hope to the world,
Speaker:because that's really who you are
and that is what you're doing.
Speaker:And these soft openings within you are
going to lead you to an even greater
Speaker:opening ahead. So if part of what you're
ready to see blossom in your life is
Speaker:your business,
Speaker:this business that is truly an
expression of your soul's voice and your
Speaker:purpose in this lifetime,
Speaker:then I would love to see you in
Business as a Spiritual Journey.
