February carries a noticeable shift in energy. Where January asked for listening and orientation, this month brings warmth, circulation, and creative fire back into the body. With the Lunar New Year opening the Year of the Fire Horse, February favors courage, heart-led expression, and forward motion that comes from alignment rather than force.

February 1 | Black History Month Begins
Black History Month invites remembrance, reverence, and accountability. It is a time to honor Black leadership, creativity, cultural wisdom, and the living contributions that continue to shape art, culture, and collective progress. This moment calls us to deepen awareness and relationship, recognizing history as something still unfolding rather than something completed.
Ritual Idea: Prepare cacao with care and simplicity. Before drinking, acknowledge one Black leader, artist, or teacher whose work has shaped your understanding or expanded your heart.
Recommended Cacao: Thriving Tanzania - Focused and uplifting, supporting clarity, grounded presence, and purposeful action.
February 1 | Full Moon in Leo
This Full Moon illuminates themes of self-expression, creativity, and the courage to be seen. Leo energy asks where the heart wants to lead and where authenticity is ready to replace restraint. This moon highlights the relationship between personal truth and visibility.
Ritual Idea: With your cacao, reflect on where you feel ready to express yourself more fully. Notice where joy, creativity, or confidence wants to move through you.
Recommended Cacao: Tantric Rose Blossom - lush and heart-opening, supporting emotional warmth, self-expression, and embodied confidence.
February 2 | Imbolc / Brigid’s Day
Imbolc is a traditional Celtic festival marking the midpoint between winter and spring, honoring the return of light and the first stirrings of new life. Brigid’s Day is associated with the goddess Brigid, a figure linked to fire, healing, creativity, and renewal. This day celebrates quiet ignition - the moment when intention begins to warm beneath the surface.
Ritual Idea: Light a candle while preparing cacao. Reflect on one intention that is warming within you but not yet ready for movement.
Recommended Cacao: Mystical Mushroom - earthy and stabilizing, supporting patience, grounded focus, and slow, sustainable emergence.
February 11 | International Day of Women and Girls in Science
This day honors the contributions of women and girls in science, research, medicine, and innovation, while highlighting the importance of equity and access in these fields. This day was established by the UN a little over 10 years ago in 205 to address the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
Ritual Idea: Prepare cacao and take a moment to acknowledge women and girls whose work in science, mathematics, medicine, or technology has expanded knowledge or access in the world. As part of your ritual, choose one tangible action today, learning about organizations like Girls Who Code or Black Girls Code, supporting a women-led research initiative, or encouraging a young person’s curiosity in STEM through conversation, mentorship, or shared resources.
Recommended Cacao: Uplifting Uganda - generous and stabilizing, supporting confidence, grounded presence, and a steady sense of inner strength.
February 14 | Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day invites reflection on love in its many forms, romantic, relational, and self-love. Beyond partnership, it is a day to consider how love is expressed through presence, care, and attunement. It asks us to notice where connection feels nourishing and where it may need more gentleness or honesty. This day can be an opportunity to soften toward ourselves as much as toward others, remembering that love is something we practice, not something we perform.
Ritual Idea: Prepare cacao as a heart-centered ritual, either alone or with someone you love. Place one hand on your own heart, or if shared, place a hand on your heart and theirs on yours, and breathe slowly together for several minutes, imagining the breath moving between hearts to create coherence, warmth, and connection.
Recommended Cacao: Tantric Rose Blossom - sensual and heart-centered, supporting connection, intimacy, tenderness, and emotional openness.
February 17 | Chinese Lunar New Year + New Moon in Aquarius
Chinese Lunar New Year marks a powerful collective reset, opening the Year of the Fire Horse. This year emphasizes movement, courage, and embodied action rooted in truth rather than force. The Fire Horse carries themes of vitality and forward momentum, reminding us that clarity arrives from action, not through thinking.
Paired with a New Moon in Aquarius, this moment supports fresh vision, independent thinking, and future-focused alignment. It favors bold but intentional choices that reflect who you are becoming, not who you have been.
Ritual Idea: Create space for a longer cacao ritual. Write down one intention for the year ahead that feels honest and alive, and place it beneath your cup as a symbol of commitment. You can also revisit the intentions you set during the winter solstice and new year and explore which of these are ready to be brought into action with the element of fire.
Recommended Cacao: Vibrant Vitality - activating and circulatory, supporting momentum, confidence, and embodied action.
February 18 | Pisces Season Begins
As Pisces season begins, attention shifts toward sensitivity, imagination, and emotional integration. This period encourages rest, reflection, and deeper listening beneath surface activity. It is a time to soften structure and allow intuition to guide awareness.
Ritual Idea: Prepare cacao in quiet. Sip slowly and notice sensations before engaging thought, allowing intuition to lead.
Recommended Cacao: Boundless Belize - expansive and heart-opening, supporting integration, reflection, and gentle emotional flow.

February Invocation: Moving With Intention ✨
This month marks a shift from clearing to movement.
From preparing inwardly to meeting life in motion.
What has been shed no longer needs revisiting.
What has been learned now asks to be lived.
There is a difference between rushing forward
and moving with purpose.
Between forcing momentum
and allowing it to rise from alignment.
With each cup of cacao,
may courage be steady rather than reactive,
may action be guided by truth rather than urgency,
and may movement come from clarity instead of pressure.
This is a season of embodiment.
Of letting the body lead where the mind once hesitated.
Of trusting that momentum rooted in presence
will carry you exactly where you are meant to go.
February does not ask you to chase.
It asks you to arrive fully
and move from what feels alive.
