Make Room for What You Love – Monday Oracle 9 February 2026

 

“We are all just walking each other home.”
— Ram Dass

Hello, Lovelies!

This Quarter I am using the The Witches’ Wisdom Tarot by Phyllis Curott, illustrated by Danielle Barlow, for my weekly oracle readings. 

Our card to guide us for the week ahead is 16. LOVE and its reminder to make room for what you love.

2026 is a profoundly intuitive and creative year, encouraging adaptability and flexibility, and new beginnings that are practical and sustainable.

February moves us gently out of reflection and into definition. After January’s pause, this month asks you to clarify who you are becoming — not through grand declarations, but through daily choices that nourish and sustain you. February is about strengthening your foundations, tending to your energy, and aligning your habits, boundaries, and commitments with what truly matters now. This is a month for building quiet confidence, choosing consistency over intensity, and allowing your sense of self to take shape through what you repeatedly return to and care for.

🌺Make Room For What You Love

After a week focused on stability and creating safety, the energy now softens and opens.

Once we feel steadier, something natural happens — we begin to reach outward again.

This week is about connection. Not busy socialising or obligation, but genuine connection: with people, with nature, with creativity, and with the parts of yourself that feel most alive when you give them time and attention.

You may notice a quiet longing surfacing. A pull toward simple pleasures. Toward companionship, laughter, fresh air, and meaningful conversation. Your emotional world needs nourishment just as much as your body does.

Within the broader theme of Define Yourself, this week asks a gentle question:

What do you genuinely love — and are you making room for it?

Not what you should enjoy.
Not what once mattered but no longer does.
What currently brings warmth, curiosity, or lightness into your days?

Connection is not only about others. It’s also about reconnecting with yourself. Activities that engage your senses — walking outside, cooking real food, gardening, art, music, or hands-on creativity — are especially supportive now. When you involve your hands and body, your mind settles and your heart opens naturally.

There is also encouragement here around nourishment. Preparing and eating good food, especially simple wholesome meals, helps restore emotional balance and steadiness. Eating regularly, drinking water, and spending time in natural light will have a surprisingly powerful effect this week.

Love, in its healthiest form, is not dramatic.
It is consistent.
It is kind.
It is expressed through attention.

Offer attention to what matters: the people who bring you ease, the places that calm you, and the pursuits that make time pass gently.

If something feels forced, it probably is.
If something feels quietly right, trust it.

Small, sincere connections will mean more than grand gestures this week. A walk together. A phone call. A shared meal. Sitting beside someone — or a pet — without needing to fix or perform anything.

The more present you are, the more supported you will feel.

You don’t need to chase love this week.
You only need to notice where it already exists and participate in it.

📖Journaling Prompt

Take a few quiet minutes with this question:

Where in my life do I feel most naturally connected, and how can I give that a little more time or care this week?

Let your answers be simple and practical. This isn’t about changing your life — it’s about enriching it.

🌟 Top Tip of the Week:

Choose one nourishing activity and schedule it as deliberately as you would an appointment.

Examples:

• a walk outdoors

• preparing a wholesome meal

• a creative project

• time with someone you trust

• quiet companionship with a pet

Connection grows where attention goes.

🌿Update from the Treehouse

Here in the Treehouse the pace of life has slowed again.

My energy is low right now, and my days have been reined in to match it. But underneath the fatigue there is still a steady current — a creative and intuitive flow that continues even on the harder days. I’m tending that small inner flame carefully, because it feels closely tied to my own healing, whatever healing looks like within the reality of chronic illness.

After beginning the year with exercise and a welcome upswing in vitality, it has been frustrating to find myself back here. What is helping is accepting the space I’m actually in, rather than the one I hoped to stay in. Those of you who work with my planner will recognise what I call Sustainable Madness — the slightly messy, very real kind of self-care that keeps life workable when the battery is flat.

My daily sit remains a non-negotiable.
I nap when my body says stop.
Dinner now happens at 4pm, and I’m often in bed by 6.30pm so I can still write, see clients, and manage the practicalities of daily life.

Every action is weighed because I don’t have energy for everything. It’s a constant exercise in trade-offs and compromise — but it clarifies priorities in a way nothing else quite does.

And yet, this is only one layer of my life.

I am not my illness. There is a quiet place inside me that remains unchanged — a part of me still writing, dreaming, imagining, planning, and creating for this community. My body may limit how much I can produce or how my days look, but who I am on the inside is untouched. That inner space is steady, familiar, and always accessible to me, and I spend time there every day.

I’ve felt very held this week. Dear friends checking in. Ben beside me. Rufous never far away. Even the house itself feels companionable. Outside, the world has been lively — butterflies, dragonflies, and early morning squadrons of raucous lorikeets. Each day has held moments of wonder. This, to me, is the living embodiment of ‘make room for what you love’.

What steadies me most has been simple: breathwork, humour, meditation, and hugs.

The hardest part, mentally, is the contrast. Every time I make ground and hold it for a while, part of me still hopes it might last. So sliding back always carries a little grief with it. You’d think I’d be used to that by now, but hope has a stubborn streak.

Still, there are improvements. I haven’t fallen into the heavy brain fog of the past, and my food options have slowly expanded — from rice, pumpkin, and zucchini to carrots, broccoli, sweet potato, potato, onion, garlic, ginger, chicken, eggs, and white fish. After weeks of restriction, it feels like a feast.

This quieter time has also brought reflection. Again and again I’m reminded that we can do hard things, and that most situations can be navigated. These enforced pauses create space for life review, and I find myself gently shaping a different kind of life — one more sustainable, deliberate, and true.

If you are walking your own difficult stretch right now, please remember that self-care and lowering stress are real life skills. Time out — chosen or imposed — can help us reclaim a sense of agency. We may not control every circumstance, but we still hold power in our thoughts, our actions, and our responses.

My comforts are small and precious: holding Ben’s hand, cuddles with the pupster, the ever-changing tropical landscape around the Treehouse, and disappearing into a good audiobook or podcast. I’ve been listening to Seth Godin for inspiration, and revisiting beloved fiction — Out of Africa and The House in the Cerulean Sea — gentle worlds to rest inside for a while.

My wish for you, and for myself, is simple: a little more rest, a little more kindness, and the reassurance that even slow days are still meaningful days.

May you feel comforted and cosy wherever you are.

With love from the Treehouse,

Nicole 🙏🏻💖😊
