The Seven Sisters ・゚゚・。∘ ゚(18 Feb - 17 Mar) 

Celebrative - Warm - Poetic

A constellation of stars in the night sky, The Seven Sisters is also the oldest shared story in human memory, influencing cultures globally, they are part of the birth of all human connection. While Palm Garden is not our Earth, the Seven Sisters appear in its sky. This is a season of storytelling, and an auspicious moment to begin a quest or journey. You may find Inklings in the wilderness and share a tale: this is a time to answer the call to adventure.

Inklings that emerge under the sign of The Seven Sisters are natural storytellers. Old souls who are able to remember and record the events and ideas of those around them, they love to learn about new things, and are inspired by the imaginings and adventures of those around them. 

_________________________________

After the last few seasons’ extremes, Inklings begin to feel wanderlust. As the season of the Moon’s tides recede the uncovered land is full of sprouting life. Inklings embark on new adventures this season, seeking out the changed and renewed iterritories and Inklings gather in parades and parties, to find new teams and consider their next big quests. 

It’s a good time to: Kick off a new project It’s a bad time to: Find a quiet place to think

WISDOM OF THE SEVEN SISTERS:

  • New projects are worth celebrating. 

  • New journeys take effort, regardless of the distance traveled. 

  • Adventures are the sum of the teams that undertake them.

What do the stars have in store for your Inkling during The Seven Sisters? 

The Seven Sisters ・゚゚・。∘ ゚(18 Feb - 17 Mar) Celebrative, Warm, Poetic

In your season, it’s a time for celebration of the new. New ideas, new friendships, new inspiration. For you, the gatherings can often be the point in and of itself. Make sure you’ve got enough snacks and drinks to keep everyone going and enjoy the ride. 

The North Star -: ✧ :- (18 Mar - 17 Apr)  Focused, Strategic, Perceptive

Sharing your vision with others is the name of the game in the season of the Seven Sisters. As Inklings gather looking for new teams and friendships, it’s time for you to make your case - who will be inspired by your goal? What team can you build to bring it to life? Keep your mind open to new collaborators, and try not to push too hard, if someone isn’t enthusiastic - try again next project. 

The Field .・:*:・゚(18 Apr - 17 May) Adventurous, Dynamic, Curious

As you survey the excited and energetic Inklings around you, your challenge in the season of the Seven Sisters is to listen to your instinct. The deep, small voice underneath the surface enthusiasm - to discover what you really want next. Is this a new idea? Part of a larger personal goal? Take stock of what you’re looking for first, then look for dance partners. 

The Rings : ・ ┉ ൦┉。 (18 May - 17 Jun) Melodious, Captivating, Refined

With so many Inklings moving around and seeking out one another, the season of the Seven Sisters can feel… noisy. Too Loud. A cacophony of different songs banging up against one another. Despite parties being a place for music, and a good time to find new collaborators, be forgiving if you need to take a rest and work on your next solo. 

The Eclipse ━●━ (18 Jun - 17 July) Oblique, Exciting, Connecters

Eclipses are confident signs, always looking for the angles and thinking about the parts of a puzzle that others miss. Sometimes your ability to see things from an unconventional perspective can come off as judgemental - and keep that in mind as you explore new projects with others this season. 

The Convergence ˚•♦•˚(18 July -  17 Aug)  Balanced, Harmonious, Observant

What new project is on your mind? Is there a project with a you-shaped hole in it, Convergence? Regardless, keep an eye on your friends, you may be the Inkling the universe tasks with connecting two collaborators - listen to what they’re looking for, maybe you can work that magic. 

The Binary 。:●൦:* (18 Aug - 17 Sep)  Supportive, Social, Collaborative

Don’t rush into new relationships right now, Binary. While you’re a big collaborator, take your time and really consider who you should be working with next. Just because something is getting your heart racing at the moment, doesn’t mean that you’ll still be interested in a few seasons’ time. Take a few breaths before you say yes. 

The Nova  ━ ⋇ ━ (18 Sep - 17 Oct) Expansive, Esoteric, Visionary

When Inklings share their visions for their next adventures - you’ll be able to see the big picture, the endpoint - right away. Remember that this is a skill and for other Inklings, they don’t see all the way to that endpoint. Speak up and lend your voice in planning sessions, but remember that your vision might change as the journey begins. 

The Galaxy ・○o。. (18 Oct - 17 Nov) Grounded, Insightful, Complex

Galaxies are good at connecting the dots between ideas, but might not always speak up with those insights. Make sure you’re listening when you’re collaborating in the season of the Seven Sisters - and make sure you speak up when no one’s asking the question that seems obvious to you. It might not be obvious to anyone else. 

The Comet ⋆ˊˎ- (18 Nov - 17 Dec) Impulsive, Brilliant, Shrewd

You might find yourself pulled in a dozen directions during the season of the Seven Sisters. While that might suit your vanity, make certain that when you’re giving your word to collaborators you’re sticking to it. Don’t be afraid to say no during this season, Comets. 

The Nebula ◦∘  ൦∘ ◦ (18 Dec - 17 Jan) Broad-minded, Resourceful, Dreamy

As Palm Garden rings with the new life of ideas and spouting life, your daydreams will be amplified during the season of the Seven Sisters. Be sure you pay attention to those around you that your riffs on their brainstorming sessions are welcome, and when they might not quite fit with the stated goal. 

The Moon 。˚☽˚。 (18 Jan - 17 Feb) Reflective, Magnetic, Instinctual

After a whole season dedicated to listening to your instincts and reflection – do you feel a little stuck? Don’t worry too much if you have a creative hangover this season, Moons. If you need to sit on the sidelines of creative sprints it’s natural. Forgive yourself and the spark will come back eventually.
