“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.” – Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
Right now, we are in Pisces season. The cosmic energy is rooted in intuition, dreams and curiosity — symbolized by the two fish swimming head to tail through fluid water. As the last sign of the Zodiac, Pisces carries the wisdom of all the previous slices of the wheel. In the journey of the soul, we’ve arrived at the final leg, and before we are ready to throw open the doors and step into the percolating spring humidity, Pisces offers us the gift of creative insight.
To connect with this imaginative energy, pick up Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. Released in 2015, Gilbert presents creativity as a natural kind of magic that visits everyone — almost like an adult version of the tooth fairy. Drawing from her own experiences as a writer, she offers guidance on navigating the inevitable fear that comes with creating. The result is an uplifting work of nonfiction that celebrates the calm, intuitive, and curious spirit of Pisces. After all, everyone can be — and is—an artist.
Want to see yourself as one? This month, the stars are aligned to help you discover your inner creator. Grab a copy of Big Magic and explore how naturally creativity already exists within your soul. Come back next month for a book recommendation to celebrate the next slice of the wheel: Aries season.
