The Birthday Review
The weeks around your birthday often feel different.
You might notice a need to withdraw, to reflect.
Something stirs beneath the surface - a sense that the old skin no longer fits, though the new one hasn’t quite taken form.
This isn’t just a passing mood.
Your birthday marks the Sun’s return to the exact place it held at the moment you were born - a moment of profound personal renewal.
But most people move through it unconsciously.
They blow out candles, feel restless and don’t realise they’re standing at a threshold.
They miss the chance to listen to what this new chapter is asking for.
The Birthday Review is a centred around your birthday. It allows you to step out of the noise and look at your year - both the one behind you and the one ahead - through a deeper lens.
The Birthday Review
Each birthday marks a turning of the wheel - a moment when the soul shifts its gaze to a new chapter of growth. In this session, we explore the deeper theme shaping your inner world, often before events bring it to light.
The Year You’re Leaving
We begin by tracing the arc of the year just lived - not to dwell on what happened, but to understand what it was asking of you.
What was this year really about? What inner shift was quietly underway, beneath the surface of daily life?
We explore the turning points that shaped your growth - so the past becomes a source of clarity, not confusion.
Because when we understand what the year was asking of us, we no longer carry it - we integrate it.
The Year That Lies Ahead
Then we turn to the year ahead already stirring beneath the surface, carrying its own invitations, demands and possibilities.
What part of you is ready to rise? Where will life stretch you beyond the familiar? What story is asking to be lived more consciously?
The aim isn’t to control the future, but to recognise its rhythm - so you can walk with it, rather than feel pushed or pulled by it
Because without insight, the future can feel like fog.
With it, you gain the ground beneath your feet.
When we don’t mark thresholds, we drift.
We repeat old patterns.
We miss the message.
