Seasonal Flow to Quarterly Planning

If witches ruled the world, seasons and quarters of the year would be one and the same. And tho they’re not, we can work with them well together by giving each their right purpose.

Let’s look at the roles of natural and calendar time in a well-crafted yearly flow…

☸️ The natural wheel of the year is a trip around the Sun, broken up by the 4 seasons. And the seasons are broken up by the zodiac-themed phases the Sun moves through.

This natural (astrological) flow mirrors your flow of energy. It’s a great way to understand how your energy ebbs & flows throughout the year, to know yourself from the inside out.

Anything you do in your business needs to support the flow of your optimal inner world, so this is the timing to use to ground your boundaries & availability for sustainability.

Example: Winter for most is a time of feeling more inward, as well as a time when the holiday season demands a lot of us. Knowing this is helpful when planning your business year.

🗓️ The calendar year is the man-made version, broken up by 4 quarters of 3 months each.

For most this is also your fiscal year – aka, the calendar years you report on your tax return – so it’s a great way to map your business tasks and goals.

Your business maintenance and planning needs to align with your inner world & home needs, and the traditional calendar is the perfect timing to use to plan your outer world biz schedule.

Example: If winter is a time you feel more inward & less available, contrary to the world’s New Year blast off, you may want to plan for Q1 to be a time of backend shifts to prepare for a big launch in Q2.

The idea is to begin with the seasons to track where you’re at so you can plan a quarterly flow for your business that aligns with your needs.
