How do seasons affect energy levels?

[Magpie]

What is your experience as far as seasonal effects go? Do you feel energised during certain seasons and drained during others? Any theoretical frameworks to explain that?

I noticed, throughout my life, that I become energised in September and remain at fairly high energy levels until March. Spring is a mixed bag but summers for me are really slow. I don't understand why. This is independent from temperature. Even during colder weeks in summer, it is the same. I wonder if individual astrological profile is part of the answer. If you know a good book that goes into that subject, please share.

Ooh, interesting...I usually feel the most energized around the solstices and equinoxes (and was born near a solstice, so I would believe your personal natal chart affects it like you said). I know that some people divide their year into "working magic" periods and dormant/fallow periods, dependent on their tradition and spirit pacts. That reminds me a bit of how I engage with creative pursuits...I'm not always drawing or creating art 100% of the time, but I feel like the "break" period is important to let things percolate, and then I feel more focused when I come back.

Interesting, I wonder what governs that. I don't feel a clear-cut change near solstices and equinoxes
