How Do You Choose to Experience the World?

Destiny & Karma

There’s a shift in the collective soul destiny on January 11th and stays there until July 26, 2026. The soul destiny is what you want to embrace and the soul karma is what you want to release.

So, it’s yes to destiny and no to karma.

In other words, these collective soul changes reflect how the cosmos pressure everyone on earth to open up to their soul destiny while removing blocks due to karma.

On January 11th, the shift into Pisces soul destiny and Virgo soul karma, the focus is how you show up in the world and in your own life.

This Pisces & Virgo configuration induces you to accept yourself as a spirit having a human experience.

Destiny & Karmic Movement

Every 18 months, the soul destiny and karma shift through the 12 signs of the zodiac to come to the same sign every 18 years. Think of the number 18 and how it reduces to 9 in numerology. This energy is always about wholeness and right now, this wholeness involves how you experience your world.

Picture a wheel where the soul destiny travels through the 12 zodiac signs, spending about 18 months in each one, coming back into the same zodiac sign every 18 years.

This year, the collective soul destiny moves from Aries into Pisces while the soul karma moves from Libra into Virgo. The image below represents the current movement with each sign representing 18 months.

A circular chart divided into 12 segments, each representing a zodiac sign with "18" indicating 18 months in each sign. Two clockwise arrows show the movement through the signs, representing the cycles of Soul Destiny and Soul Karma.

Going around the wheel completely, the Pisces-Virgo collective soul energy happens every 18 years and its opposition occurs every 9 years.

The same Pisces-Virgo energy occurred:

  • January 11, 2025 – July 26, 2026
  • June 23, 2006 – December 18, 2007
  • December 3, 1987 – May 22, 1989
  • April 20, 1969 – November 2, 1970
  • July 27, 1950 – March 28, 1952

The opposing Virgo-Pisces energy occurred:

  • November 12, 2015 – May 9, 2017
  • January 1, 1997 – October 20, 1998
  • July 6, 1978 – January 5, 1980
  • December 16, 1959 – June 10, 1961
  • May 25, 1941 – November 21, 1942

Pisces & Virgo

Every 18 years, the collective soul destiny wants you to experience the world in a spiritual way while being practical in how you live your daily life. Balancing the spiritual with the practical requires you to show up for yourself.

Show up for yourself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Showing up for yourself means being healthy in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies.

Let’s explore what the soul destiny and karma means, then how to embrace and release respectively. Next, let’s discover how the other stars support this destiny and karma throughout the year. Then let’s dive into how to show up for yourself.

Collective Soul Destiny

The collective soul destiny is what you want to embrace, move into and open in your life. Say YES to soul destiny.

Pisces North Node: Embrace

With the soul destiny pursuing spirituality, you can create your life as you truly want to live it. This is the time to let your soul lead. Pisces is the soulful sign and a time to step into creativity, healing and intuition.

Using your imagination to dreams your biggest dreams while embracing your highest potential is the key with the soul destiny in Pisces. This configuration wants you to allow support from the universe and your higher self, while surrendering your escapism, addictions and victimization tendencies.

Having faith in yourself and others by allowing your life to be fully lived relying on your intuition. Your magical gifts and talents want to shine from your heart and soul, not from your mind. Envision vibrational resonance versus simply conversing, a full body alignment versus a mental exploit and soul mission versus a position at work.

Soul Destiny Tips

Your general tips to embrace your spirituality are:

  • Avoid escapism through the numbing of binging on Netflix or TikTok, working too much, depending on chemicals, fitness or shopping.
  • There’s a season for everything, so be mindful of leaning too much into avoidance.
  • Deal with your emotions and step into self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others.
  • The trifecta of awareness, acceptance and allowance is the key.
  • Remember pain is a natural part of life – it’s for the living.
  • Being the hero means showing up.
  • Get creative, playful and be generous with yourself.
  • Find your hidden treasure.
  • Tap into your intuition.
  • Stay connected with your intuition.
  • Rely on your intuition.

Collective Soul Karma

The collective soul karma is what you want to release, resolve or remove blocks from in your life. Say NO to soul karma.

Virgo South Node: Resolve

The issue with Virgo lies in the habit of letting your mind run the show while ensuring you take action on every thought. It’s too much! The key is to let go of perfectionism, servitude, stress and addictions.

Virgo is a nag and she’s a hard task master, so it isn’t easy to release yourself from worry and anxiety, struggle and self-criticism. But, it’s worth it as judgment and skepticism makes you become bitter and resentful. You can avid this by letting go from Virgo.

Resolve your karma that makes you to push against life and all of its imperfections instead of being grateful for the bounty, ease and joy found in your heart and soul.

General Release Karma Steps

  • Lean into being satisfied with your work to get off of the hamster wheel.
  • Find your value, so you don’t work too hard for your money.
  • Get out of your mind and into your heart and soul.
  • Strive for wellness in every area of your life.
  • Develop rituals and routines that give you more pleasure in life.
  • Use the 80/20 rule instead of seeking perfection.
  • Let go of doing everything and let others help you.
  • Ask for support.
  • Delegate.
  • Act as a guide or mentor and seek one for yourself.
  • Show up for yourself versus doing too many things for others.
  • Ask ‘what else is possible’ every morning.
  • Embody your true potential.

Blending the positive energies of Pisces and releasing the negative ones of Virgo provides you with the balance between reality and fantasy, intuition and logic. It’s the perfect remedy to align with your soul mission.

Soul Destiny Throughout 2025

There are a handful of planetary aspects guiding you to open to the accept the experience of you and the world. Neptune, Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter poke at the collective soul destiny and karma to urge you to pursue wellness by balancing the self-directed and unity-guided pursuits.

  • February 7 – Pisces Neptune conjunct True node @ 28°
  • April 21 – Pisces Saturn conjunct True node @ 26°
  • May 9 – Taurus Uranus sextile True node @ 26°
  • May 18 – Gemini Jupiter square True node @ 25°
  • September 3 – Cancer Jupiter trine True node @ 18°

Each monthly star-powered planner will take a deeper dive into these energies and how they’ll affect you as you move through the year. Bookmark this page to stay on top of the monthly events.

Dreamy Imaginings in February with Neptune

With Neptune blending with the soul destiny on February 7th, you get a blast of intuitive energy to pursue your spirituality. Neptune creates an opportunity to take a spiritual deep dive while letting go of the mental distractions and yearning to work, work, work. Relaxing or seeking healing remedies is the perfect way to leverage this cosmic configuration.

Blast of Reality in April with Saturn

Saturn blends with the collective soul destiny and opposes the soul karma giving you the fortitude and discipline to develop spiritual routines. Your intuition wants to come forth in your life.

Venus also merges with the soul destiny to bring love, calm and beauty into the mix. She also wants you to wear your value. Lean into sweet love, romance and tender love notes. Imagine, dream and love on April 21st.

Positive Changes in May with Uranus

On May 9th, when Uranus excites the soul destiny and harmonizes the soul karma, you get the chance to make the necessary changes to live your soul mission. Pisces is all about your soul and Virgo is all about daily life. Combining the two allows you to create daily spiritual routines and to accept rituals as part of your daily tasks.

Discerning the truth of your experience of yourself and the world is also possible. Let Uranus push you further into the truest version of yourself.

Big Moves in May with Jupiter

On May 18th, Jupiter moves in to support you with good luck in opening your mind, heart and will to live your soul mission. Surprising energy with the Sun and Uranus blending on the same day enhances your ability to be true to yourself. Show up in ways that are new and exciting.

Let Jupiter push you to show up for yourself. Say YES to you for self-care, self-confidence and self-love.

Nourishing Support in September with Jupiter

Be brave about being the whole version of yourself. Bravery in relationships to communicate what’s important to you happens on September 3rd. Nurturing yourself, caring for yourself within your family and showing up as your genuine self helps you be you no matter what the circumstances.

How to Show Up for Yourself

Generally, showing up for yourself involves knowing yourself fully, liking yourself enough to accept you for you and trusting yourself to take the right action. When you know, like and trust yourself, you align your mind, heart and will. Stepping into your Intuitive Success Signature supports you to lean on your mind, your heart or your will.

Showing Up with Your Intuitive Success Signature

Overall, Loving Alchemists are the best positioned to deal with the soul destiny in Pisces and the soul karma in Virgo. Creative Superstars are most likely to embrace the Piscean soul destiny with creativity in common. However, they are also least likely to deal well with the Virgo practical aspects.

Wise Strategists and Ruling Warriors have the most issues releasing Virgo’s soul karma. While Intuitive Visionaries appreciate the new soul destiny in Pisces. Collaborative Explorers need to make adjustments to accept their intuitive abilities, while shoring up their practical daily habits.

Show Up for Yourself Physically

Making things real requires you to shed your Virgo ways and she’s a nag. Every one of the signatures can navigate her successfully. Deep your most successful schedule to make sure you stay on track.

Positively, Ruling Warriors strive for wellness regardless of where the soul destiny lies. You love to give yourself goals and to set routines to achieve these goals. Ruling Warriors, you will succeed in your physical wellbeing. However, you also don’t like the tempo of gathering energy by relaxing and slowing down. This will be the quest during this collective soul cycle.

Wise Strategists can take this configuration literally, but when you don’t and let yourself have fun, your healthy body exploration can become a fan–favorite. Have fun and pursue wellness.

Loving Alchemists don’t get caught up in the nagging nature of Virgo. You can look her in the face and say, “You don’t affect me. I’ve got this.” Let your power override any negative self-talk.

On the other hand, Intuitive Visionaries will get swept up in the negative self-talk and will avoid it by creating distractions that actually will prevent you from achieving your goals. To succeed, you want to set up routines that work for you to hold you accountable.

Collaborative Explorers, you typically stand separately from what truly matters to you. Keeping your goals at the forefront of your task list ensure you keep up with your physical wellbeing.

Creative Superstars, you get caught up in the cycles of creativity and forget to keep to your best routines. Make sure you add your physical wellbeing as part of your creative cycle and you’ll succeed in this area.

Show Up for Yourself Emotionally

The Moon powers your heart to support the nourishment of you. Flower essences support you to open to your heart, so you can embrace satisfaction and fulfillment to appreciate your full self.

Creative Superstars are specifically involved in this soul destiny and this love of creativity and intuition allows you to be generous with yourself. When you’re generous with yourself, you support your emotional wellbeing.

Intuitive Visionaries don’t really appreciate the emotional realm and in fact, avoid it to limit your power. When you realize that you’re a powerhouse, you step into the emotional realm to fuel your desires. You are enough and your ability to inspire helps support your emotional wellbeing.

Collaborative Explorers are very emotionally intelligent, so use this to your advantage. Let your emotions reign and lead with your heart. You have a beautifully generous way of gathering like-hearted people together. Let this be your guide to your emotional wellbeing.

On other hand, Wise Strategists, you struggle with letting go of the mental pursuit to drop into your heart and listen to her wisdom. Virgo presses you more into negative self-talk than you’ve experienced in the last 18 months. Staying vigilant by keeping to an emotional-forward routine is the key.

Ruling Warriors are traditionally less emotional than other signatures, yet you can accept the emotional components by infusing these are part of your goals. Incorporate pleasure, joy and playfulness into your overall strategy.

Loving Alchemists, this is the only area you may have negative impacts as Virgo pushes you into servant-based activities. While these satisfy you, you may succumb to doing too many to keep you on the hamster wheel. Your heart is happy with your service, but your overall success misses the mark. Stepping into the power of the Moon to enjoy its cycles remind you of the cycles of serving others and serving yourself.

Welcome to my Bella Luna course as a free gift if you want emotionally powered support.

Show Up for Yourself Mentally

The stars totally support you to clear your mind and create certainty. Your mental acuity must rely on the Sun, Moon and the stars to stay calm and connected to your intuition.

Intuitive Visionaries are the most apt in the mental acuity of the Pisces soul destiny and the Virgo soul karma. You can flow with the cycles required by Pisces and connect fully to your intuition. When you do, you’ve mastered your namesake.

Loving Alchemists are also perfectly placed to traverse into intuition with the combination of logic and brilliance opening into influence.

Creative Superstars adore the creative and imaginary ways of Pisces while struggling with Virgo’s tendency for distraction. For you, letting go of the negative tendencies of Virgo, while holding onto her practical routine generating ways helps you stay on track. This requires finesse and a delicate balance.

Collaborative Explorers are the most adversely affected by the mental aspects of the collective soul destiny as it’s too amorphous and you can lose yourself easily. For you, use your mind, logic and reasoning to keep yourself at the center of your thoughts. Putting yourself first is the key.

Wise Strategists are also limited in the ability to keep their minds focused without succumbing to Virgo’s perfectionism. Open yourself to the 80/20 rule instead of always over performing toward 100% or beyond.

Ruling Warriors absolutely love the taskmaster ways of Virgo while not appreciating the intuitive notes from Pisces. The fail point is to stay on the Virgo karma instead of pursuing the intuitive nuances of Pisces.

Show Up for Yourself Spiritually

Magical tools help you in this category. Reach for crystals and your guides for this category.

Loving Alchemists, Intuitive Visionaries and Collaborative Explorers are simply the best at the spiritual pursuit of Pisces while letting go of the Virgo.

Loving Alchemists, your power overcomes your practicality in ways that are positive. Intuitive Visionaries, you have the win in this area all around. Give yourself permission to be the intuitive genius you naturally are. Collaborative Explorers, you are very intuitive, use your energy to step into your intuition. Focus on yourself to succeed in this area.

Ruling Warriors and Wise Strategists don’t fully appreciate the magical, intuitive talents when not incorporating the wisdom each provide.

For Ruling Warriors, this is the hardest aspect for you. Enjoy the wisdom of you and seek the win. For you Wise Strategists, wisdom is part of your moniker – own it.

Interestingly, Creative Superstars, you struggle with losing yourself in the creative, imaginative ways. It’s this loss that creates the issues for you. When you can stay practical, you actually achieve the win in this area.

Bottom Line

Showing up for yourself isn’t easy when balancing your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. Focusing on your strengths help you shore up your relative weaknesses. Sharpening your energies to align with your soul mission makes this effort smoother. This 18-month plunge into your spiritual experience helps you with the New Era influences. Lean into these cosmic powers to embrace your inner life, develop your intuition and let your soul lead.

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

New Era Success Formula is Stars + Signatures + Strategy = Success

Stars

The stars either work with you or against you and it all depends on whether you know what they’re up to or not. This monthly star-powered planner sets you up to take advantage of these powerful forces. Using the stars strategically helps you remove the blocks to your success and achieve your personal, professional and financial triumph.

Signatures

Your energetic signature known as, your Intuitive Success Signature, measures how you enter your day. You may put everything through your mind to think about your best path forward or you may want to connect with others as your first inclination. This is the ‘what you know’ versus ‘who you know’ alternatives. Or you may take action (or procrastinate against it) as your first response.

Wise Strategists and Intuitive Visionaries push everything through their minds. Collaborative Explorers and Ruling Warriors are concerned where they lie in comparison with other people. Creative Superstars and Loving Alchemists either take action or not depending on what’s going on around them.

Strategies

Proven strategies involve personal and business actions that you incorporate into your daily, weekly or monthly routines to develop habits more aligned with your soul mission. Relying on the cosmos and the earthly energies supports you in saving time, money and resources.

New Era Success Formula

January Summary

January: Create Your Own Opportunities

Seasonal energies: Fine-tuning potential into purpose
Energetic Element: Earth/air
Overall meaning:  January is an up and down month, but brings huge opportunities when you’re aligned with your soul mission. You’ll know whether you’re aligned or not based on what’s happening for you, who you’re meeting and how people are responding to you. Staying on track and being uniquely you provides your greatest opportunity.

If you want to know what’s happening in the stars for 2025, check out Your Star Strategy Center for the highlights and to stay up to date. 

Seasonal insights

The seasonal dance is one of renewal and flow that can be used to harness in order to propel your success.

The seasonal dance begins by opening your full potential which expands until it becomes unwieldy. At which time, it’s necessary to optimize your influence through purposeful actions. Once you’ve harnessed this potential-filled purpose, you generate power, expanding your ability to make impact. Curating your powerful impact creates prosperity and then you’re ready to begin the cycle again.

During each season, you can leverage the zodiac energy, elemental force and earthly rhythms to boost your chances for success.

Season of Potential

Seasonal Attributes

Months: November, December, January
Astrological signs: Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
Earthly Element: Earth
Apex: Solstice
Northern Gateway: Samhain
Affinity: Feminine Energy
Impact: Inner Life

The stillness of the season welcomes potential for all of your dreams. Go inward to reflect on what you desire most.

Let your mind wander and imagine.

Plant seeds in the fertile soil of endless possibility.

This is primarily a yin, reflective time, however, using your yang tendencies expands your potential as you actively pursue the unfamiliar by asking questions, letting your mind wonder and exploring your edges.

This is primarily a feminine expression with its inner life exploration. Think of words such as; opening, deepening, gathering, strategy, intentions, themes, milestones.

Magically, this season offers deep intuitive connection enhancing your ability to commune with your inner voice and the universal energy. Practically, this is the perfect time to set strategy, determine your annual word, themes and intentions as well as to anchor your pillars and milestones for high level navigation through the year.

Season of Potential is the quietest season that stabilizes itself with the earth element. It also relies on ether, so it’s a yin energy that’s expansive into both the known (earthy) realms and the unknown (ether) realms. The key to this season is to recognize that both the yin power of strategy and the yang power of direction create your best strategic plan.

Seasonal Business Tips for Potential

It’s the time of strategy and holidays during the season of potential and that’s the perfect blending of the business meaning behind this season. Work and play is the right rhythm to employ when devising your strategic plan for the coming new year.

Getting away from the day-to-day is necessary to gather the higher purpose for your life and business.

Replenish yourself, your team and your business by spending time with friends and family. Then take another look at your strategic direction with a fresh mind and heart.

Big star shift meanings

Mars & Pluto: Pressurized Power

With Pluto newly in Aquarius, you experienced pressure to free yourself from other’s expectations to show up authentically for 18 months between March 2023 and November 2024. This back and forth energy felt edgy and uncomfortable. Then, Mars added to the mix as he aggressively opposed Pluto from November through April 2025.

Leo Mars Rx opposite Aquarius Pluto @ 1°
January 3rd @ 2:22 am ET

Leo Mars opposite Aquarius Pluto @ 3°
April 26th @ 9:05 pm ET

Leo and Aquarius involve the development of your personality. Leo desires to be seen, heard and known through authentic expression. Aquarius seeks freedom of expression through uniqueness and originality. Leo leans in and Aquarius leans out.

These opposing forces become epic energies with Mars and Pluto.

When Mars, the God of War, opposes Pluto, the God of Hell, there’s a wave of power that can’t be measured.

Mars asks you, “Where in your life do you need to be more assertive?” Pluto asks you, “How can you love yourself limitlessly?”

Both of these planets push you beyond your comfort zone and put you into emotionally unsafe circumstances. They do it on purpose as they’re asking you to become more fully yourself.  You will explore parts of yourself you don’t want to reveal. Remember you’re perfectly imperfect and use this time to get to know yourself better.

Mars adores Leo, yet not when he’s being smothered through the fire as he is when he’s retrograde. Then, he becomes volcanic. Add Pluto pushing you to break free to be you without apology. You can be unstoppable when you accept yourself, flaws and all.

If you’re feeling insecure, experiencing fear of missing out (FOMO) or constantly seeking approval, then remember how you’re different from others and celebrate yourself. You can also plan unusual experiences for the flamboyant or indulgent imprint as a way of self-soothing.

If you’re dissociating or relying too much on your mind, then get creative; go to the theater, a comedy club or your favorite museum to stir your heart. Be forthright with others in relationship and show up for yourself in creative ways.

Having fun is also a quick way to interrupt negative thoughts and impressions.

Mars Retrograde: Caring Support or Victimhood

With Mars retrograde in Leo and Cancer, you can either choose to take extra care of yourself or you can drop into being the victim, feeling sorry for yourself and taking it out on others.

Mars retrograde in Leo & Cancer
December 6, 2024 – February 23, 2025

Mars in Cancer and Leo exact dates:

  • September 4, 2024: Mars enters Cancer
  • November 3, 2024: Mars enters Leo
  • December 6, 2024: Mars stations retrograde at Leo 6°
  • January 6, 2025: Mars moves back into Cancer
  • February 23: Mars stations direct at Cancer 17°
  • April 18: Mars exits Cancer
  • May 2: Mars returns to Leo 6°

At the beginning of the year, Mars retrograde moves from 6° – 0° in Leo and then reenters Cancer again, where he stays until April 18.

Mars adores spending time in Leo and would have loved continuing his path in this sign, but he doesn’t get the chance. He has to reenter Cancer, which he doesn’t appreciate. He loathes the watery, overly sensitive, home-bodied Cancer. He feels trapped by the ‘over-caring for others’ nature. Mars is more selfish, active and bold than Cancer lets him be.

For 3 ½ months, Mars marinates in the Cancer syrupy family soup with its past history and stories about your early years.  You have the opportunity to explore the depths of love with your loved ones, yet it depends on your patience and tolerance for hearing about your cute and embarrassing antics while growing up.

Typically, Cancer opens into Leo to take the love, connection and deep sense of belonging to come out into the spotlight and confidently express your passion, authenticity and creativity. The anchoring support of Cancer centers Leo to ensure he’s feeling safe and secure. When Leo feels powerful, he’s generous, stylist and an excellent leader.

However, in a retrograde cycle, Leo pulls back into Cancer suppressing his enthusiasm and knocking him off center. Mars feels unstable, fostering self-doubt and inducing a fragile ego. This is not a positive combination. The fire erupts without an outlet, so with each passing day the fire grows hotter without any star tools to cool it.

It’s up to you to provide the tools to cool Mars retrograde in Leo and Cancer.

Mars with Collective Soul Destiny Front & Center

Martial Support

Mars, the energizer, supports the collective soul destiny twice in the first part of 2025. He supports the overall soul mission of the world and can help you individually as well. Know what’s happening with Mars and push through things that require courage.

Leo Mars Rx trine Aries True Node 0°
January 5 at 
1:20 am ET

The first-time Mars acts as a supportive force in 2025 occurs during the first week of the year to bring home the world’s soul destiny that’s been stirred for the last 18 months.  The fiery energy to reverse entitlement and exclusivity helps create opportunity for anyone with the fortitude and courage to live their lives the way they truly desire.

Soul Destiny Changes

There’s a shift in the collective soul destiny in January and stays there until July 26, 2026. With the new Pisces soul destiny and Virgo soul karma the focus is wellness. This Pisces & Virgo configuration induces you to accept yourself as a spirit having a human experience.

These changes reflect how the cosmos pressure everyone on earth to open up to soul destiny while removing blocks due to karma. This similar collective soul energy happens every 18 years and its opposition occurs every 9 years.

On January 11th, you move from how you express yourself in relationship to how you experience the world. Release servitude, undervaluing yourself and giving your power away and move into your value, your inner voice and being generous with yourself and others.

For more information on this 18-month influence, check out the article right here.

Weekly star power

Week 1: December 30 – January 5

This is a great week to solve problems and find solutions to complex issues. You feel the pressure, but are getting used to this energy since you’ve been feeling it since the beginning of November and will until the end of April.  Positioning yourself within your relationships requires creativity and generosity with yourself and others.

Set aside time to envision what you truly want and take action based on your top priorities.

Week 2: January 6 – 12

This is a confusing week. The New Era tests you by taking your mind and scrambling it into many pieces. Your thoughts run amuck and you want to go in too many directions.

Take a deep breath and slow down.

Gather yourself and review your goals. Doing what serves you is the only solution this week. Either that or take the time to connect to yourself and your intuition. Following your energy, intuitive nudges and opening to your creativity is the key right now and actually, forever.

Week 4: January 20 – 26

Powerful forces begin the week and make you cocky about the influence you yield. Watch out for power struggles and others lashing out at you. Stay ahead of the competition by focusing on your own work.

Fortune favors the brave.

The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.

To discover how to use oracle cards for developing your intuition, check out my free course right here.

The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring it into focus and ponder its meaning.

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.

Monthly Oracle Card: #39 – Deepen

#39 "Deepen" card from Kim Woods' Intuition Oracle deck, featuring intricate mandala art, a woman reflecting in a creative space, and the message: "Go beneath the surface to gather energy & seek creative solutions."

You’re coming into a huge period of growth, but first you must go inward to deepen, solidify and crystallize your efforts. When you deepen, you ensure your chances of success. When you ignore this prompting, your opportunity for growth is stifled.

“It’s a quiet gathering time as you fortify yourself, your loved ones and your business. Dive deeply inward to reflect, rejuvenate and restore.”

As part of the expansion path, the deepen card comes to you to remind you that expanding and deepening go hand-in-hand. You can’t have sustainable growth without each of these forces.

Spirit Animal: Vulture

Two vultures perched on a gnarled tree branch, set against a blurred green natural background.

Vulture reminds you to take everything into account and don’t waste any time, energy or resources. It’s time to sheer off that which doesn’t serve you. This includes people too. Get rid of waste. Sharpen your focus and only bring what you want to carry into your future.

Crystal: Pyrite

A shiny, gold-colored pyrite crystal cluster, also known as "fool's gold," displayed against a white background.

Pyrite is also known as fool’s gold. This is a prosperity stone, but not when you’re fooled by shine, especially when you ignore the deep inner worth. The surface is only that- the surface. You can be fooled by what’s on the outside or performative.

January gets you ready for the wakeup call at the end of March. Take care to discern what and who really matters to you and more importantly, who and what matters to your future.  Don’t take anything at face value. Go beneath the surface to find the treasure inside.

Flower Essence: Gorse

A close-up of vibrant yellow gorse flowers blooming on a spiky green shrub, with a blurred background of additional blossoms.

Gorse is a bright yellow flower to remind you that life is bright and shiny. Take gorse when you feel fatigued and feel despair. Before you give up hope, reach for gorse. It’s like sipping on sunshine and you need it, especially when you see who and what is really important to you while getting rid of what and who doesn’t serve you.

Intuitive success signature forecasts

Following my success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ® methodology, tap into the energies of your Intuitive Success Signature for the best results this month.  If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, here’s the link.

Wise Strategist

You love the planning, strategy and clear-mindedness of the 1st and last weeks of the month, but the confusion and challenges in the middle of the month drive you crazy. Stay focused on yourself and your goals. Think long term and take baby steps to realize your goals.

Intuitive Visionary

You love the flow of ideas and innovations, especially when the Sun enters Aquarius on the 19th. Yet, the distractions increase too. Take care to follow your strategy and plans so you don’t knock yourself off course. People are pushing and pulling you in too many directions. Curate opportunities that support your long-term goals. Stay on track.

Collaborative Explorer

People are stepping on your toes and trying to get you to focus on them instead of yourself. Don’t fall for it. You are the leader right now. This New Era energy has your name written all over it. People feel this, even if they don’t know it. Own your value. Know your path. Use your discernment. It’s your time. Take full advantage of it.

Ruling Warrior

Slow and steady wins the race this month and this isn’t your favorite rhythm. Going deep and seeing beneath the surface is the key to making January work for you. Opportunities are created through relationships – work for the loyalty, not the transaction. Your wins are based on how you end the year, not how you start it.

Creative Superstar

The last 2 weeks are more your speed than the others this month, however, Venus moves into Pisces and she’s your best friend. She adores love, creativity and magic. She’s romantic and sweet while also being kind and generous. Act like Venus this month and see who you attract. Use your influence to lead people into your paid offers.

Loving Alchemist

Going deep into powerful energies is your jam and when you show up aligned with your soul mission, you become a magnet to the marketplace. How are you showing up this month? Do you have any events where you can shine your brilliance? If not, set up at least one event. People won’t be able to find you unless you lead them toward you.

Bottom line

January doesn’t quite hit the reset button and begin at the starting line. This month continues with the same energies of 2024 and for most of you, you want to leave 2024 behind and start anew. Yet, you learned a tremendous amount last year. Setting your priorities and creating opportunities based on these is the key to your success.

Think long term and take small steps to get you there. January holds tons of opportunity when you deepen your intention, galvanize your energy and connect with people and situations that create the dreams of your future. Everything else falls away.

The Sneaky Ways of Lack: How to Spot Them and Flip the Script for Abundance

Picture this: You’re racing through life, juggling projects, dreams, and to-do lists, all the while, hoping for more abundance. But every time you get close to that dream life, something sneaky holds you back.

It’s not bad luck—it’s lack, and it’s stealthier than you realize. The good news? Once you spot these sneaky behaviors, you can kick them out of your life and business to make space for abundance.

Are you ready to ditch the lack mindset and embrace the flow of prosperity? Let’s dive into these sneaky ways of lack and learn how to outsmart them with some fun, actionable hacks.

1. Going 100 MPH Without a Pit Stop

Who hasn’t rushed through their day thinking speed equals success? But when you’re always racing, you miss the magic moments where opportunities bloom. It’s like trying to enjoy a meal while running as fast as you can. That’s almost impossible.

Speed Hack: Hit the brakes! Slow down and savor the journey. Take intentional pauses to reflect, celebrate wins, and let ideas percolate. Think of it as giving your dreams the breathing room they need to grow.

2. The Hustle Trap

“Work hard”, they said. “Pay your dues”, they said. But nobody mentioned how overworking shuts the door on receiving. It’s all grind, no glory, and you end up more stressed than successful.

Hustle Hack: Add receiving to your to-do list. Practice saying “Thank You” when someone helps you, and take time to soak in the rewards of your hard work. The universe loves a gracious receiver. 😉

3. Judging: The Inner Critic’s Bestie

Ah, judgment—the uninvited guest at every party. Whether you’re judging yourself, assessing others, or comparing your life to everyone else’s highlight reel, judgment shrinks your world. It’s like wearing blinders that block the view of all good things.

Judgment Hack: Channel your inner cheerleader. Replace judgment with encouragement. See someone succeeding? Clap for them. Not only does it feel great, but it also attracts more wins into your own life.

4. Oops, Missed That Opportunity

When you’re not paying attention, life’s golden moments can slip by faster than your favorite limited-edition coffee. Whether it’s an overlooked email, a missed connection, or just zoning out, inattentiveness is a fast track to lack.

Missed Hack: Get grounded! Try five minutes of mindfulness every morning to center yourself. Stay present, and you’ll start spotting opportunities like a pro.

5. Boundaries Gone Wild

Boundaries are great—until they become walls. Over-protecting yourself shuts out the very abundance you’re working so hard to attract. Abundance doesn’t play well with fences.

Boundary Hack: Redefine your boundaries. Instead of building walls, focus on being clear about your goals and values. When you’re in your lane, distractions don’t even get close.

6. Answers Only, Please

Ever feel like you need all the answers before you can move forward? Spoiler alert: That’s a lack mindset talking. A rigid need for certainty squeezes out creativity, wonder, and the delightful surprises that make life abundant.

Answers Hack: Embrace curiosity. Swap “I need to knowwith I wonder what’s possible.” Let your heart and intuition guide you instead of relying solely on logic. Who knows where that could lead?

7. Greedy Vibes in Disguise

Trying to squeeze every last drop out of a situation might seem smart, but it’s actually lack mindset in action. It’s like grabbing all the snacks at a party and forgetting to share. Sure, you might feel full, but where’s the fun in that?

Greedy Hack: Practice generosity. Share feedback, express gratitude, or simply offer a kind word. Reciprocity creates an abundance loop that makes you and everyone else feel richer.

8. Freebie Hunters Anonymous

We all love a good freebie, but if you’re always chasing no-cost options, you’re unintentionally signaling lack. You’re saying, “I don’t trust that I can invest in myself and thrive.

Freebie Hack: Invest in yourself. Pay for that course, upgrade to the VIP package, or tip generously. The way you put out investment energy comes back tenfold, often in unexpected and magical ways.

9. Discounts vs. Bonuses

Offering discounts might feel like you’re doing others a favor, but it’s really just lowering your value. What’s worse than lowering your worth? Blocking the flow of abundance.

Discount Hack: Think bonuses, not bargains. Instead of slashing prices, add extra value. A bonus says, “I’m worth it and so are you.” That’s the kind of energy that draws abundance in droves.

If you want to see how bonuses work and note how to invest in yourself, check out my Magical Prosperity Pack right here.

10. Your Story is Holding You Hostage

We all have a story—those moments that define who we are. But if your story keeps you stuck in victim mode or ego trips, it’s time for a rewrite. Lack loves a stagnant story.

Story Hack: Become the editor of your life. Shift from “This happened to me” to “Here’s what I’m creating now.” Your story is your starting point, not your entire identity.

The Bottom Line: Outwit Lack Mindset, Invite Abundance

Abundance isn’t reserved for the lucky few—it’s a mindset and a practice. By spotting these sneaky patterns of lack and flipping the script, you can open the door to more prosperity, joy, and success than you ever imagined.

Your Cheat Sheet to Abundance

  1. Slow Down: Opportunities need space to bloom.
  2. Practice Receiving: Celebrate wins, big or small.
  3. Trade Judgment for Joy: Cheer others on and watch your own life soar.
  4. Stay Present: Mindfulness keeps you open to life’s gifts.
  5. Redefine Boundaries: Clarity outplays rigidity.
  6. Embrace Curiosity: Wonder invites magic.
  7. Be Generous: Giving and receiving are two sides of the abundance coin.
  8. Invest in Yourself: Trust that what you give comes back in higher doses.
  9. Add Value: Bonuses over bargains every time.
  10. Rewrite Your Story: Make your story about possibility, not limitation.

A Fun Challenge: Spot the Sneaky Lack!

For one week, pay attention to where lack might be sneaking into your life. Are you rushing? Judging? Avoiding investing in yourself? Each time you catch a “lack shot,” swap it for an abundance habit. Share your wins—you might inspire someone else to do the same. 🥰

Final Thought

Abundance isn’t just about money—it’s about feeling satisfied, free, and alive. By shining a light on lack’s sneaky tricks, you’ll find that prosperity isn’t out of reach. It’s been waiting for you all along.

So, go out there, make some tweaks, and watch as abundance flows into every corner of your life. The best part? You don’t have to do it perfectly—you just have to start.

Now, go claim your abundance like the All Star you are. The universe is waiting!
