January 2024

February begins with Mercury conjoining Pluto in Aquarius, bringing an intensity, and possibly unexpected events. If there’s an area of your life crying out for change, don’t resist. “This month’s dynamic planetary energies will make it easier to break out of old patterns, and manifest creative change, for moving forward in many aspects of your life. Resisting necessary changes can result in fate stepping in and pulling a few strings.” This can look like sudden events coming out of nowhere, however in most instances, things have been brewing, in the background for quite awhile. We might be surprised by other’s, or at “our own sudden outbursts of emotion, deep feelings that rise up, impulsive actions, or obsessive thoughts that take over. We often are not aware of what’s going on with others; we’re too busy to notice their little cries for help or the clues that were there all along. Unconscious elements from within could drive us to seemingly strange and unpredictable behaviors.” This will be a necessary time for honestly communicating our feelings, “airing grievances or delving into subjects that grip us. With a hard aspect to Jupiter, the danger is, we might easily go over the top. Our perceptions might become skewed and lead us to false judgments or statements we might later regret. It will be important to think carefully before we speak and ask ourselves if our quick judgments are factually correct. We might better use the Pluto-Mercury energies to research things, ferret out the truth, and hone our perceptions so that we can spot what is true despite appearances to the contrary. We might experience deep anxiety, bad dreams, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors or fixations. We can more constructively use our time & energies in writing, speaking, and research.”

“A new moon on February 9, when Uranus forms a hard aspect to the Sun and the Moon, things could become a bit more unpredictable, resulting in unforeseen events or disturbances to our status-quo. People could seem more irritable and less patient on the roads in this wired energy, so we need to bear that in mind when traveling. The root of destabilization is the suppressed need for change; internal conflict manifests negatively, but negative results can get us to stop, take stock, and make changes; so keep in mind whatever negative things happen, especially around Feb 9, are signs from our higher selves that things need to change. We can use the energies of the new moon to consciously manifest the changes we want to see, especially if we want to break out of ruts or change old patterns.” Uranus urges us to think outside the box, and be creative with our solutions, and to have some fun! “There’s a need for lightness and humor to come into play in our relationships, as the archetypal lovers Venus and Mars are conjoined all month, bringing a passionate and romantic feeling. Be on the lookout for jealousy, obsession, and intrigue, as Pluto’s close involvement could take many relationships into dark places or certainly places of depth. Whatever is hidden in our key relationships will likely come to light as feelings are declared, frustrations aired, and desires unleashed. Sound like a recipe for chaos? Remembering that chaos often precedes great change, could make us more inclined to embrace uncertainty, knowing things will be better when life settles down again. The lessons of Uranus, Pluto, and Aquarius is, that breakthroughs first require breakdowns.” We must listen to our own soul-hearts, consult our inner wisdom, and ask our angels for help in all we do. Keeping our own integrity, being authentic to our own truth, accepting responsibility for our acts & omissions, and being kind to others is essential, because we often don’t know what others are going through. Be true to yourselves!

“February opens with a grand square between the cardinal signs — Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn — signaling a time of balancing the head with the heart, the masculine with the feminine, the dark with the light (all those polar opposites) within the self and in the outer world. This is the time to find balance between war and peace within and without. With Mars in Capricorn squaring the Moon and its south node in Libra, Kronos in Cancer, and Chiron and the Moon’s north node in Aries, the expression of what is in the wisest and best interest for Earth and humanity is possible. As well is the ego expression of warfare, armament, and military commanders acting out their insecurities, fears, and might. A new direction borne of compassion and clear communication is possible now as Mars in Capricorn also trines Uranus in Taurus and Lilith in Virgo. This grand trine overlying the cardinal square facilitates change brought about by interdimensional portals opening and closing. This restructures and reorders all dimensions in a new direction of balanced reciprocity. Those able to speak the words of truth aligned with Lilith/Tiamat, the Cosmic Mother of all Creation, will have great opportunities to speak, bringing into existence that which opens portals as well as invites and invokes love, harmony, and flow. Such action dismisses those people, beings, and energies, that express fear, attachment, dependency, expectation, grief, guilt, greed, abandonment, betrayal, disappointment, loss and lack.” The new energy reacts positively to positivity, inclusion, compassion, empathy, and love for humanity.

“Chiron conjunct the Moon’s North Node in mid-Aries brings new perceptions about conflict and the more recent patterns of colonization expressed on planet Earth for more than 2,000 years. It is possible now to glean a variety of ways in which to overcome territorial ownership disputes that will align with the higher good for all beings, human and otherwise. There truly is more than enough for all living beings. People will discover empathy for all living beings or suffer heartless projections and judgments turned back on them in the very near future, as harmony and balanced giving & taking is the theme throughout 2024. With Lilith in latter Virgo opposing Neptune in Pisces, much restructuring is taking place to facilitate the movement into balanced reciprocity. On February 9, 2024, at 3 pm, there is a new moon in late Aquarius, signaling a tremendous influx of cosmic energies into planet Earth with the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, and Pluto all in Aquarius. This toning sets in motion vibrations with which every being, energy, and entity throughout the cosmos will find it necessary to align and harmonize in preparation for Mars moving into Aquarius on Feb 14, and Venus moving into Aquarius on Feb 17th. This is a powerful stellium. The cardinal T-square between Venus in Capricorn, Chiron, and the Moon’s North Node in Aries, and the Moon’s south node in Libra acts as a soul-heart installation of a pacemaker (peace maker) into planet Earth and all that resides upon it. The mutable T-square in early signs between Lilith in Virgo, Admetos in Gemini, and Saturn in Pisces signals a destiny time where strong messages from the Cosmic Mother of All Creation will be received. This will challenge those who come from an either-or, black/white, male/female, right/wrong, all-or-nothing, and good/bad way of perceiving the universe. These people will discover that there are many choices and experiences — all of which are valid, loving, and life-affirming — open to expression for all. This tremendously expands the connection with the self and all throughout the cosmos. The challenge will be to follow your inner truth center and soul-heart rather than seek followers or create codependent interactions through ego attachment. Only through interdependence is the energy of love able to freely flow in balanced reciprocity, given and received. On Feb 24, 2024, at 4:30 am PT, there is a full moon in early Virgo creating a mutable T-square to Admetos in Gemini, signaling that the resistance to healing and new directions in regard to the false visions and beliefs about life set in motion by the patriarchy will be fully revealed. This will generate a plethora of opportunities to overcome the previous limited vision that has generated stagnation soul-wise for many people and other living beings on Earth for eons.” The Divine Feminine, will be pouring her expansive healing energies upon all beings; and we can all access ‘the Mary-collective’ through prayer and meditation, seeking wisdom, understanding, healing, joy, patience and peace. Let us extend that sense of peace to GAIA and all her inhabitants. Namaste!

January 2024 begins with Pluto leaving Capricorn, where it’s been for the past 16 years! Pluto is taking apart structures such as “banking, big business, politics, law enforcement, finance, education, health care, and more”, so that those structures can be rebuilt with humanity’s best interests at heart. Pluto is removing blocks to evolution, and is moving into “the sign governing humanity, where we are pushed toward birthing our new selves by letting go of our old selves and old ways”. Transitioning into the Age of Aquarius, from the Age of Pisces, is “an event that only happens once every 26,000 years”, so we can expect to see huge transformational changes in the coming months and years. “The capitalist structures built by the old order are dead, but it will take some time for them to be completely phased out and replaced by the new. This process is signified by Pluto’s long journey through Aquarius, which will give power back to the people. Aquarius also governs science and technology, so Pluto could reveal technology’s shadow side, including the negative effects of artificial intelligence, genetically modified food, Wi-Fi, 5G, and so on.” Pluto, lord of the underworld, urges us to confront our own shadow selves, so things can appear to be “getting worse for awhile as Pluto brings our collective and individual darknesses to the surface, including wars, natural disasters, pandemics, corruption, and whatever else feels like end-times. This purging process will become more dramatic, as Earth transitions from the third dimension to the fifth dimension. We will also see hints of the New Earth forming as people rise up against destructive systems and become more community minded. It’s important for us to stay focused on the light, and allow our inner demons to surface so that we can release them. The more we can do this, the easier and faster we will transition into 5D.”

Many opportunities emerge for us all at this time, “as the Sun and Pluto along with a new moon align in Capricorn, opportunities to conclude matters we’ve dealt with off and on since 2008. These matters could relate to family, relationships, work, career, health, or personal transformation. With the new moon in Capricorn around January 11, things should become evident in our lives that allow us to move on and focus on new beginnings; the energies becoming increasingly powerful as we move through the month. On January 20, the Sun and Pluto shift into Aquarius at 0 degrees; this hugely powerful and potent event marks the beginning of a new era, both collectively and personally. This is about growth and evolution, and Pluto ruthlessly hones in on our fears & weaknesses, that hold us back.” We need to face our phobias, “becoming more conscious of where we’re blocking our personal evolutions, so that we can complete the purging process and ascend.” Don’t shrink away from the process. “Pluto offers a portal into the fifth dimension. For some, the portal will be about a powerful relationship, such as a union of souls through the twin-flame dynamic. For others, this ascension process may affect their physical bodies, such as regenerating through illness”, possibly through spiritual modalities, with more coming to the fore.

“January is a month to prepare for whatever we intuitively sense lies ahead. It’s a month to wrap things up and look back at how far we’ve come since 2008. If we still have any forgiveness or releasing to do, now is the time, as we don’t want to carry unnecessary baggage into this new era. Rejoice that old chapters of our lives are ending, and new ones are about to begin.” Rise in the strength of regenerative empowerment, to learn and know better, to do and be better. NOW IS THE TIME!

“January 2024 begins in Mercury retrograde in late Sagittarius, signaling a time of solemn messages and harsh truths about the human kingdom’s strides toward balanced reciprocity with the cosmos. With Mars also empowering this alignment, a plethora of different directions and choices are possible for every person.” Following others is not advised at this time; keep your own counsel, according to your inner wisdom and divine guidance. “Mercury goes direct on Jan 2, 2024, but its effect lasts until Jan 21, 2024. The grand Earth trine (between the Sun and Cupido conjunct in Capricorn to Jupiter in Taurus and the Moon and Lilith in Virgo) brings to Earth the realities, truths, and consequences of where the human kingdom has gone astray and requires realignment in its relationships with Earth and nature.” We need to live a more balanced give & take with GAIA and all living things “to discover more joyous paths of interaction, life, light, and love with all kingdoms. Following the soul-heart’s destiny and expanding outside one’s comfort zone can lend receptivity to the tremendous number of expansive openings and opportunities within and without.” We can go within in prayer and meditation, listening to our intuitive link with Spirit to follow our dreams, and manifest our soul-heart’s desires.

“January 2024 is a time of ancestral reckoning with a T-square between Venus in Sagittarius, Saturn in Pisces, and Admetos in Gemini, all in their early signs. This alignment signals a time of either clearing old ancestral karmic patterns or being devoured by them. Any ‘victim energies’ must be dissipated to move forward into the future. Self-responsibility is paramount. All is freewill choice. With Mars and Mercury conjunct on the Galactic Center, a plethora of guides, guardian angels, and assorted beings from other realms will attempt to communicate with all the members of the human kingdom.” Seek clarity and confirmation from your own inner wisdom. “The Moon’s node node in late Aries trine Mars and Mercury brings with it a vast array of new directions, expressions, and communications. Wisely sit with each vision to discern the merits, pitfalls, or hidden surprises. Seek to discover which dreams, visions, and possibilities actually contain solid forward-moving energies rather than rabbit holes of disempowering diversion and expended energy. Discernment is key in choosing when, where, and how to employ one’s physical, mental, spiritual and emotional resources.”

“On January 11, 2024, at 3:58 a.m. (PST), a new moon is in the latter part of Capricorn with Mars, Cupido, and Pluto also spread throughout the sign of Capricorn, doing a T-square between the Moon’s north node in Aries and south node in Libra. This puts the requirement of energy, balancing the lover/peacemaker and fighter/warrior squarely between the Sun and Moon, asking for balance between the head and heart, profit and compassion, and people and ideology. Mars is conjunct Cupido in Capricorn, empowering the caring heart energies of life, light, and love to become so intense that all efforts will be sought to facilitate the human kingdom to express and communicate compassion, love and empathy to all on planet Earth. Prayers to encourage new directions and strides of expansion in affording peace, prosperity, and freedom for all will tremendously affect those continuing to act out their temper tantrums of fear, rejection, and hate. Great change is truly possible as new moon, balanced-reciprocity energies pour into Earth and its inhabitants. Misunderstandings in communication and timing are possible with Neptune in Pisces square Mercury in Sagittarius.”

“A full moon in early Leo on Jan 25, 2024, at 9:55 a.m. (PST) conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, signals a time of speaking passion-fire truth. Unconscious, deep-seated energies and emotions will surface to be cleared and cleansed, particularly in personal relationships. The grand cardinal square this day between Mars conjunct Mercury in Capricorn, Chiron conjunct the Moon’s north node in Aries and the Moon’s south node in Libra, and Hades and Kronos conjunct in Cancer stresses the need for healing from warlike tendencies so that the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine might be expressed within and without by all beings in harmony, balance, connection, and unconditional love. The intensity of this full moon shines the light of truth on where vibrations of balanced reciprocity are required to attain the cosmic flow in a life-affirming manner. The Earth trine between Mercury and Mars conjunct in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus and Ceres, and Lilith in Virgo brings forth the knowledge, wisdom, and truth of what individual and collective changes are necessary to come into alignment with Gaia (the Earth Mother) and Panden (Earth’s soul spirit) fully on the planet.”

“On January 30, 2024, at 2:22 a.m. (PST), a cosmic equinox brings a huge deployment of beings from the angelic kingdom. This tremendous influx of cosmic energies to Earth comes as a vibrationally balanced tone to bring all into cosmic alignment. With the Moon conjunct the Super Galactic Center in early Libra trine Pluto in Aquarius and Admetos in Gemini, these air energies carry silent sounds above and below the abilities of humans and animals to hear. The sounds permeate all particles of matter, from the smallest to the largest, within the Earth plane and throughout the cosmos. Old paradigms are no more. The birth of new visions is here. Take time to go into nature to receive the huge influx of these energies and the astounding visions and possibilities open to all members of the human kingdom.” The time is NOW for each of us to take full self-responsibility; to acknowledge, release & heal our shadow aspects, and to forgive ourselves and others for past transgressions. It is time for humanity to ascend above greed, hate & fear. The planetary alignments are here to help us raise our energies, dispel the darkness, and prepare for Ascension in 5D. Open to the angelic energies & be healed. The time is here and NOW!
