This New Year really IS a new beginning, with the so-called Bethlehem-star, Saturn & Jupiter conjunct in Aquarius! “Uranus squares the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, suggesting that changes won’t take place without some rebellion, discord or chaos. Social unrest & protests are likely to continue. Collapse and breakdown are necessary before a new society can be built; this time could be seen as a monumental awakening of humanity. This is also the final year Pluto spends in Capricorn. The power the elite has held is coming to an end, and this year should bring further collapses of patriarchal, ego-based systems.” A new moon on Jan 13th “conjuncts a powerful Pluto, and feisty Mars conjuncts rebellious Uranus. This moon speaks of transformation & radical change rather than quiet & peace.” We will all feel the waves of alteration or tumult to some extent. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction urges a new cycle of growth, bringing opportunities forth, but “the square of Mars & Uranus to Saturn & Jupiter might see us acting impulsively or even destructively; we must be aware of tendencies toward self-sabotage>” Self-examination, questioning where we feel the need to change, why we are resisting, what do we need to release or transform …. will be one way to deal with these compelling energies. Embrace the new moon energies in assisting us to transform outdated circumstances. Move through the fear & resistance to manifest the new life situations you need to create, and to align with your inner truth. “There are no accidents”; allow the Divine plan to unfold. The period around Jan 21st, when the Moon joins Mars & Uranus may be volatile & dramatic, with tensions & emotions running high. We can practice the grounding activities we know: yoga, meditating, dance, being in nature, working with our hands at a hobby we enjoy. As these energies spike-up, we need to nurture ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. The month closes with a dynamic full moon in Leo, with Mars & Uranus forming a tense square, both to the Moon & Sun and Saturn & Jupiter, manifesting dramatic change. We can allow the transformations to occur without adding to the drama, choosing “to be a force for good”.

January 2021 begins with “Mars in late Aries, square Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn & Jupiter in early Aquarius, signaling a new direction born through harmony, connection, cooperation and communication. A new alignment with the seasons, the cycles, and the flow, discovering new rhythms of self & Earth’s energies, bring portal opportunities for smooth change to occur. Those open to receiving this guidance will discover shifts & changes that bring opportunities, abundance & flow when heeded & acted on. For those resistant to aligning, sudden & disruptive changes may take place to facilitate alignment.” Expansive destiny-energies are here for us all to access. “As 2021 opens with Moon & Vulcanus in Leo, Uranus & Lilith in Taurus, and Jupiter & Saturn in Aquarius, this is the time of truth, destiny, and a major reality check deep within the psyche and soul-hearts of all people. Resistance to truth & reality brings disappointment, loss or tragedy, or out-and-out rebellion. The status quo must go.” Things as we knew them are coming to an end. “Humanity stands fully & openly on the bridge that crosses between the deep chasm between the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius. In its depths lie all regrets, guilt & greed.” There’s no returning to the past, that is gone. We can “focus ahead, turning within to our inner truth center, taking slow, deliberate steps at our own pace & rhythm across the chasm. We will face & overcome our fears, taking one day at at time in appreciation & gratitude for each opportunity, each blessing, and each waking day. We will discover others of like-mind, soul, spirit and be vibrationally drawn to them, creating enclaves where balanced reciprocity is the only universal law for attaining & maintaining connection, cooperation, clear communication, love, respect and authenticity.” This is a new beginning for those who choose to align with it. “With Mars in late Aries, square Pluto in late Capricorn, every member of the human kingdom will learn the lessons of balanced reciprocity with the Divine Masculine energies within & without, creating powerful individual & collective plans for success.” This process involves aligning with Earth, land, nature & creatures where we live; we all have skills “to implement positive changes for our communities”. And balanced giving & receiving is important. “On January 12th, the new moon in late Capricorn conjunct Pluto at 9:01 pm PST, signals grounding, living & expressing care and love in a powerful, tangible and harmonious way. This new moon signals a huge turning point for the human kingdom; the original heart-oriented Yeshua energies of unconditional love from 2,000 years ago are being sounded within the earth’s grid. The toning activation begins Jan 12th, and is amplified throughout 2021 and over the next seven years.” The call for awakening comes forth. “On January 26th at 10 AM PST, the Aquarian cosmic equinox activates the Aquarian avatar energies of harmonious vibration & balanced reciprocity as portals between the worlds …. bring new flows on all levels. This is when the Feminine voice of Gaia responds to the call of her Divine Masculine counterpart, expressing her love, receptivity & openness to his call of love. January 28th at 11:17 AM PST is the full moon in Leo opposite the Sun, Jupiter & Saturn conjunction in Aquarius. This is a powerful oracular time when the energies of Gaia pour forth with messages, guidance, desires, visions and intonations of harmony and love. With Mars & Uranus conjunct in Taurus, interdimensional portals, halls of records, and secret pathways might present themselves for perusal.” There is a choice to be made; we can participate or resist, creating challenges & struggles for ourselves. “There is no judgement, only freewill choice. For 2021, the energies for all planet Earth will go through a process of activation & integration of the Earth grid …. a time when all Earth becomes sacred as every living being is called to align with the incoming energies of harmony, truth & authenticity from deep within the cosmos. Attunement with where you reside on Earth and your alignment with that locale in nature will assist you in discovering this harmony. Relocation might be sensed as necessary once individual attunement is attained. Much of the focus on seeing or perceiving with inner knowing is about letting go of other beliefs from other timelines, lifetimes, spaces and dimensions so that a more open & receptive trust of your soul-heart and of the universe can be developed. This releases the ego from mentalities of lack, victimization, fear and separation …. and begins the initiation for the human kingdom for the next few decades into living within the universe in balanced reciprocity. Smooth & easy or difficult & challenging: all is freewill and choice.” I choose to “join in the new rhythms” and be in alignment with the new Aquarian energies for connection, cooperation & authenticity; that is my 2021 mantra!

Biden calls for Unity. RESTORING THE SOUL OF OUR DEMOCRACY!
The Inauguration of Joseph R. Biden Jr and Kamala Harris was much scaled back from previous inaugurations, but it was lovely nonetheless; many of us watched it through tears and smiles. A day of hope & healing in the American story; and kudos to Senator Amy Klobuchar and others who orchestrated the celebrations, fulsome of dignity & grace. Many felt the swearing-in should occur in a bunker, but President Biden, in faith & confidence wanted the celebratory oaths to occur, as usual, outside, before the Capitol building, though some visual vestiges of the Jan 6th attack on our democracy remained. Senators, Representatives, and their spouses were invited to attend, and the likes of Ted Cruz were seen at the Inauguration. Mike Pence was there to lend some official respectability, since Trump was unable to muster the maturity & magnanimity to attend Biden’s swearing-in, unable to fulfill the usual welcoming of the new president-elect to the White House for tea and a tour of his new living quarters, unable to stand witness to the actual, peaceful transition of power. That suited most of us just fine; his presence was NOT missed! And so, an ‘end of an error’ passed.
Biden’s inaugural speech centered on a keynote of unity, which most of us sorely desire, but we have a few differences of opinion on how to get there. Some say “Pardon Trump & acquit him in the Impeachment proceedings”, but I believe the Left is going to insist on accountability, a real show of commitment from legislators to ensure justice happens for the violent extremists who attacked our government, as we walk toward unity. SPEAK TRUTH! The Senate, which WAS headed by Majority Leader, Mitch McConnel, had not confirmed ANY of Biden’s Cabinet nominations before Biden took office; they finally held hearings for five nominees on 1/19/21. Senator Josh Hawley objected to Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security pick, Alejandro Mayorkas, slowing down the confirmation process. Not unity! Biden needs his new administration to get to work speedily, and his Cabinet nominees are far more qualified than the previous administration’s were. Chuck Schumer is NOW the Senate Majority Leader; Raphael Warnock, Jon Ossoff & Alex Padilla were just sworn-in to the Senate 1/20/21, by our new Vice President, Kamala Harris, who shattered that glass ceiling! First ever …. Female Vice President! “Dont’ say we can’t change!” And she is the Democrat tie-breaker for Senate votes!
