I Can Tell You How To Make This Year A Success

“Look to the stars when you want to know all the things.”

Throughout 2021 and most of 2022, your past is on a collision course with your future. It’s shocking, disrupting and upsetting. Yuck.

But, wait.

It’s not all bad. There’s good news this year.

What can be good about changes you don’t want? These changes –

are in your best interest.

are necessary for you to live your big dream.

help you bring about the future you desire.

This year, you have luck and support when you gratefully accept these changes. You have even better luck and good fortune when you anticipate the changes and prepare for them. You have big luck and the best fortune when you make the changes BEFORE they need to be made.

This isn’t the case for 2022. Any changes in 2022 are necessary, uncomfortable and thrust upon you.

It’s best to get ahead of this now.

What if you don’t know what changes you should be making this year?

Let’s look to the stars – they always tell you.

There are three celestial bodies at play:

  1. Saturn in Aquarius ♒ – This is your future, with the past smashing it to bits and asking, “Do you really want it? If so, how much? What are you willing to do to get it?”
  2. Uranusin Taurus ♉ – This is your comfort zone being jostled and tilted every which way. A lightning bolt is coming down on your head to shock you into making decisions and taking the right steps.
  3. Neptunein Pisces  ♓ – This is your big dream getting stirred up and thrown up for review and adjustment. There’s confusion and disorientation that isn’t going anywhere and that’s too bad, as you want information to help you make plans to create the life you desire.

Ugh.

But, there’s good news.

The stars are giving you a map.

Before you get there, though, let’s remember what 2021 is all about.

2021 is the year of letting go of control to step into influence. When you let go of holding too tightly, the universe can come in and give you what you’re asking for without interference from you.

2021 is also the year for discernment. This means you either accept things as they come and make them work for you or you determine your best choices without any rationale.  How can you do that? Psst…it’s time to use your intuition.

Now for the map.

Knowing how the stars affect you creates a modicum of certainty where none exists.

So, let’s explore.

Your Star Chart

It’s interesting to know what the stars are doing in the sky, but it’s super informative to know how the stars impact you – specifically.

This is the purpose of this entire posting. First, you want to get your natal or birth chart. If you don’t have one, you need your date, time and place of birth. The astro.com site will run your chart for free. Go here and fill in your information.

Once you do, you’ll get a circle with a bunch of hieroglyphics.

No worries, I’ve got you. I’m going LIVE to explain all of the star impacts in my Power Up your Intution with True KLT group on Friday, February 5th at 9:30 am ET. You get all the yummy information on a #replay too!

I like to write it all out for you too, so you can refer to it now and later, but in the video, I’ll emphasize and note things differently.

2021 Star Clangs

In 2021, the star clangs involve the planets known as the Malevolent, the Lightning Bolt and the Delusional Ones. Eek – when is this all happening?

The key dates and degrees are:

  • February 17 at 7° (Neptune at 19°)
  • June 15 at 13° (Neptune at 23°)
  • December 24 at 11° (Neptune at 20°)

To determine what it means for you, look at these degrees or lines on your star chart.

First, Saturn.

On February 17th, ♄ Saturn is in ♒ Aquarius at 7 degrees.

  1. On your star chart, look for Aquarius ♒. (Aquarius is orange as its air.)
  2. Go to the longer line that separates Aquarius from Capricorn. (Capricorn is green as its Earth.)
  3. If you don’t have the tiny lines, look clockwise to the next line and this is 5-degrees. Look a little bit further for the 7 degrees. If you do have the tiny lines, count them (clockwise) to 7. This is the 7th
  4. Move to the right (counter-clockwise) until you get a house number.
  5. Note the number.
  6. Use this number for the first table of Saturn.
  7. Read the information to see how Saturn is affecting you this year.

Refer to the picture below as an example. The 7 is the degree or line, going counter-clockwise, you see it’s in the 8th house.

Star Chart Diagram

Now that you have the house number, refer to the Saturn table below.

The planet is the energy, the sign is the flavoring and the house is the behavior or action in your life.

I’ve interpreted everything for you. 😉

THE SATURN TABLE

Saturn has been in Aquarius since the third week of December, so these energies are new. But with the star kiss with Jupiter, they’ve been big for the past two months.

HouseSaturn in Aquarius
1

Stop playing a role that’s expected of you and start being you.

Lower one: You’re scattered and unfocused, leading to chronic time wasting and disorganization. You defend your concepts too much for fear of competition. You stay in the intellectual world to the detriment of connecting emotionally.

Higher expression: You may want freedom from home, family and roots. Find ways to feel independent while staying connected. Discover deep inner wisdom with non-traditional methods.

You’re required to work from the bottom up, not the top down. Roll up your sleeves and lead from within. Seek a mentor or become one. Work with young people or groups.

Lower one: You’re a slave to your work, filling your time with endless drudgery. You have so many tasks, you could never complete them all.  You subordinate yourself in key relationships.

7

Stop getting deeply entangled in unequal or unfulfilling relationships and start simplifying relationships.

Higher expression: You want to master relationships and are looking for new ways to connect deeply with a few others. These are soul mates – equally met in open-endedness and unique rapport. These may be business partnerships, friendship connections or romantic commitments.

Lower one: You have a pattern of chronic submissiveness or bossiness in intimate relationships. You have the inability to form a stable emotional bond for fear of intimacy, resulting in co-dependency.

8

Stop ignoring your deep power and sexuality and start being powerfully intimate.

Higher expression: You’re mastering healthy, flowing and spontaneous sexuality. You enter into intimacy in naked honesty and vulnerability. And, you honor your transformative process. Also, you have an acceptance of death that integrates its reality into daily life. You’ve achieved a sense of spiritual immortality and love to pursue the mysteries.

Lower one: You experience either blocked sexual functioning or obsessive sexuality. You have a fear or denial of death, denial of religion, occult or mystical feelings. This results in getting caught up in debts, tax issues and an inability to create wealth.

Higher expression: You’re excited to break up routine and create new patterns of behavior. You love change and embrace it wholeheartedly. And… you seek new ways to see the meaning of life and actively pursue other cultures and lands. Also, you want to master what it means to be spiritually human.

Lower one: You get caught up in dogma, rigid rules and narrow-minded behavior. You disassociate with others who aren’t like you. You can’t handle change and desperately hold onto routine. Yet, you’re unhappy and bored with your current circumstances. This boredom may lead you into unprincipled behaviors.

10

Stop being falsely employed and start working in authenticity.

Higher expression: You’re aligned with your life purpose and are pursing your soul destiny. Your calling is evident in the world. Your role in society is needed and valued. You’ve discovered new ways to being seen in the world. You’re deeply satisfied with your life mission and are creating success.

Lower one: You’re trapped in meaningless roles that don’t give you pleasure or satisfaction. You may hold onto status and power too tightly. Appearances matter more than self-fulfillment. You’re being called to make changes in your life’s work now.

11

Stop creating chaos and distractions and start being strategic.

Higher expression: You have concrete and specific sense of direction in life. You have realistic yet inspiring goals that are rooted in self-knowledge. You have a network of relationships that enhance and support the realization of your personal goals.

Lower one: You’re drifting along with a vagueness of purpose. You lack clarity, so can’t commit to any particular thing. Your friends and associates don’t actually lift you up for your best future.

12

Stop playing the pious pauper and start valuing your spiritual gifts.

Higher expression: You’ve transcended the need for other’s approval. You have the equanimity to be free from the worry about the typical ups and downs of life. You’ve mastered spirituality and have constant spiritual and psychic experiences.  You sense of presence of God and the higher levels of consciousness.

Lower one: You tend to escape the world through self-destructive relationships with alcohol, food, sleep, sex, television, and other ‘drugs’. You’re confused about your self-image. You haven’t discovered your hidden gifts.

The good news about Saturn? He gives you the ability to do the things you don’t feel like doing.

The good news about Aquarius? You have the yearning for the freedom to be completely yourself and will find inventive ways to do so.

Now for Uranus.

Uranus ♅ is in Taurus ♉ at 7 degrees.

  1. Look for Taurus ♉. (Taurus is green as its Earth.
  2. Go to the longer line that separates Taurus from Aries. (Aries is red as its fire.)
  3. If you don’t have the tiny lines, look clockwise at the next line (this is 5-degrees). Move a little further clockwise to estimate 7. If you have the tiny lines, count clockwise to 7. This is the 7th
  4. Move to the right (counter-clockwise) until you get a house number.
  5. Note the number.
  6. Check the Uranus table below for that house number to determine how Uranus is affecting you this year.
    Start Chart Uranus

THE URANUS TABLE

As Uranus has been in Taurus since mid-May 2018, the star clangs may be stirring things up for you that begin to show up since this time.

HouseUranus in Taurus
1

Higher expression: You’re pushed to enter life in a new way. You want to shed the old and welcome the new. Break free to be absolutely yourself, without any interference from anyone else. It’s time to show everyone you’re changing, and the more eclectic and unconventional, the better. You’re changing on the inside and want to show it on the outside. So, update your style. Now is the time to get a new haircut, dress and even a makeover!

Lower expression: You’re plagued by interference from others holding you back and you don’t have any patience for the status quo. It’s new or nothing for you. Unfortunately, you’re snappish and curt with others. You throw away anything that doesn’t fit, but can’t discern what’s valuable or not. In your bid for freedom, you may push away what really matters.

2

Higher expression: Serendipitous abundance appears in unexpected and new ways. You may have good news with your resources and connections, except you may not see these as good at first glance.   Open yourself to the opportunity that helps you in your work, business or life mission. It’s going to push you beyond your comfort zone. Reach for it. It’s time.

Lower expression: Unsettling financial fluctuations upset you and your status quo. You’ve been paying too much for your money and now it’s time to realign your work to meet you and not the other way around. Stop validating your worth by setting your accomplishments in comparison with others. Be true to you and the money follows you.

3

Higher expression: Your intuition is heightened as ideas and connections are flowing. You’re inspired and want to innovate every single day. You want to everyone to know about all of your ideas, but they can’t seem to follow you. You’re moving too fast. Take a breath and focus on flushing out your ideas. Then, shout them from the rooftops, because they’re good ones.  Also, pursue learning opportunities (with discernment).

Lower expression: The busyness of your mind is out of control. Your talk is fast, your dialogue is disjointed and your impatience is at an all-time high. You’re out of focus and distracted. You’re also starting conversations with too many people and not finishing any of them. This moment is too fruitful with innovations for you to waste it. Slow down and get focused.

4

Higher expression: COVID is wreaking havoc on your ability to like staying at home. Yes, it’s bad for everyone, but for you – it’s absolutely untenable. You want space to yourself and you just can’t get it now. Think of ways to do so. Be unique about how you go about it. Perhaps it’s a redecorating or repurposing a space or maybe it’s time to make plans to get out every day. Also, it may be time to renegotiate your relationships with your extended family and loved ones.

Lower expression: It may be time to move into a new dwelling and it’s not a good time for you right now. Alternatively, estrangement from family may be happening, even if you don’t admit it to yourself. You’re feeling it, yet haven’t made strides to make it happen. Think about what you want in familial relationships and take the time to redefine them.

5

Higher expression: New love comes suddenly and may end just as quickly as it begins. Other love relationships undergo a renewed sense of excitement and adventure as there are changes in your levels of desire and passion.  You wish for freedom and joyful expression. Your creative juices flow in unconventional and innovate ways. Be playful.

Lower expression: Unrelieved tension or pent up creativity needs an outlet and you may not want to shift. Children may become overly rambunctious and try your patience. Affairs of the heart are fickle and a wandering eye may get you into trouble.

6

Higher expression: Take a fresh approach to your daily work and health routines. Start driving a new way to work or employ a new fitness regimen. The key is to shake things up and create freedom in your daily life. You seek variety in your work, so innovate new methods, protocols, systems or practices.

Lower expression: Your work routines get shaken up and you can’t quite get your bearings. Shocks in your business or at work have you fearing another ‘shoe will drop’. Doubt and worry threaten your heath. Get centered and know any changes are for you to create the work your love and health you deserve.

7

Higher expression: Partnerships undergo shifts as you stretch toward freedom and independence. Lean into interdependence where both partners have the space to be themselves and to cooperate together for a rich and luscious relationship.

Lower expression: Lifeless romantic and misaligned business partnerships break up and you may not be ready. Trying to hold on to these stale relationships won’t work right now.  Yes, you rail against limits, restraints and any pressure for confinement, but it’s familiar and you want comfort now. This is an illusion, don’t fall for it.

8

Higher expression: Passion and flair enters your intimate relationship. Also, the mysteries are tapping you on your shoulder. Your connections are expanding into new territory. Allow them and go with the flow.  Wealth creation suddenly comes into play, so think about your definition of luxury.

Lower expression: Sudden fluctuations in passions and intimacy has you launching into a fit of jealousy. Your usual diplomacy hits the rocks and your blunt accusations aren’t received well. Debt, taxes and other financial swings have you rocked to your core. Breathe and remember the fluctuations can go in both directions.

9

Higher expression: Opportunities for long-term learning or travel plans come to you suddenly. You feel optimistic about new adventures. Your mind is open to new philosophies, cultures and experiences. You can change your outlook in meaningful ways with supportive programs or communities.

Lower expression: Your mind doesn’t latch onto opportunities so they come and go or you miss them entirely. You see changes in your long-term plans as disruptions or disregard new discoveries. Sudden shocks to your philosophies have you defensive and judgmental.

10

Higher expression: You break free from overbearing authority figures to establish a power position for yourself. This is a good time to start your own business or create new ways of working in your current job, career or industry. Your role in the world suddenly changes to create positive opportunities.

Lower expression: Your reputation bears the brunt of a shocking revelation. Power shifts negatively affect your ability to lead or manage your situation. As a visionary, you take a left-turn and no one knows your destination, so they don’t follow you.

11

Higher expression: You’re meeting different people to create new opportunities and collaborations. You endear people to you as you allow them to be as unique as they truly desire to be, so they feel seen, heard and known and want to remain in your orbit. You inspire others with your eclectic and unusual ideas.  Your strategic prowess is at an all-time high. Your future-oriented approach is met with resounding success when you engage and inspire others with your vision.

Lower expression: People reveal their true selves and often disappoint you. When this happens, you need to treat them as frenemies, instead of compatriots and loyal friends. You see beyond the mask and unseat those who are misrepresenting themselves. You shed false acquaintances quickly, yet don’t have other supports in place at the moment. Move swiftly and act judiciously.  Keep your eye on your long-term goals to steady yourself.

12

Higher expression: Coincidences and serendipitous occurrences abound. The universe is conspiring to delight and entertain you into your spiritual side. You have the chance to break bad habits and relieve any impoverished thinking. Now is the time to break free and enjoy life in its fullest spiritual expression.

Lower expression: You’re ungrounded and untethered, so fall victim to exposure of secrets, shames or doubts about your life. Your privacy is pierced, yet it sheds light into your shadows. Let the light relieve instead of burn. You’ll be much better off as Uranus is looking for ways for you to live your best life.

The good news about Uranus is he brings you unexpected change that, although is abrupt, is for your best benefit and biggest dreams.

The other good news, you’ve known about the change for a while, but may have been ignoring it. Now with Saturn’s bang, Uranus isn’t going to let you continue to do so. It’s time to make the change while there’s beneficial energies in the air.

Neptune

For the midpoint action, Neptune ♆ is in Pisces at 19 degrees.

  1. Look for Pisces . (Pisces is blue as it’s water.)
  2. Go to the longer line that separates Aquarius from Pisces. (Aquarius ♒ is orange as it’s air.)
  3. If you don’t have the tiny lines, count clockwise to the 4th line (this is 20-degrees) and is close enough. If you have the tiny lines, count clockwise to 19. This is the 19th
  4. Move to the right (counter-clockwise) until you get a house number.
  5. Note the number.

Check the Neptune table for that house number to determine how Neptune is reacting to the Uranus-Saturn crash this year.

star chart neptune

Neptune has been in the sign of Pisces since 2011, so you’ve had a decade of this energy. However, as he’s almost at the midpoint between Saturn and Uranus, he’s getting rattled and his gaseous state is exploding with influence. He’s at center stage in 2022, so you get a preview now.

THE NEPTUNE TABLE

HouseNeptune in Pisces
1

Higher expression: Dreamy and softness flows into you and you respond by being sensitive to the nuances in your life. Your practical nature is offset by this idealistic mode. Be tender and gentle to allow opening. Your intuitive gifts are at the surface right now and you may want to express your spiritual side in your daily life.

Lower expression: You feel pressed upon by others and absorb the negative vibes around you. You lose yourself in fall prey to moodiness, displeasure, and perhaps victimhood. Stand in your own gifts and be certain of your life purpose. If you can’t do this on your own, hire someone as a guide or mentor.

2

Higher expression: Your value system is up for review and you have the opportunity to readjust your perception of yourself and your worthiness. It’s a tricky thing, though, so take advantage of building skills and competence to assure yourself of your growth. Believe in yourself and have faith in your value; monetary, resource, connections, strengths and otherwise.

Lower expression: Be wary of too-good-to-be-true money schemes. Your ability to make money is hindered by doubt, confusion and a lack of motivation. You dream of it, but don’t take appropriate action. Take a step toward doing something to bring money to you.

3

Higher expression: Your intuition is at an all-time high and may have been this way for quite a while, yet this is the year to really blow it out. Dream, imagine, create and then communicate, teach or inspire others with your creations. You have the ability to speak with healing resonance. Your voice is more than your words. Sing, chant, and tone too.

Lower expression: Lack of focus, inattention to details and loss of scheduled appointments makes you scattered and frazzled. Your memory may be lacking too. This is your opportunity to rely on your intuition instead of your thinking mind.

4

Higher expression: Your energy is low and you can relax into it, by cuddling at home and cozying up by the fire or with a romantic partner. Tenderness and gentleness reign. Allow yourself to large swaths of solitude and drop into your intuitive side. Restore yourself in quiet moments.

Lower expression: You’ve romanticized your relationships with family and loved ones and may be prey to confusing interactions that give you a vague sense of something not being right. However, you’ve convinced yourself everything is going fine, so ignore those inklings.

5

Higher expression: You feel creative, playful and expressive, yet may lose momentum with the fuzziness of the energies in this area of your life. Discipline yourself to stay in the imaginative mood and generate gorgeous creations.

Lower expression: You’re confused about what you’re looking for in your love affairs and are willing to accept less than you deserve.  Put your antennae up to avoid lovers, crushes and friends pushing you to put their needs and desires before your own.

6

Higher expression: Being compassionate and in service to others is good luck for you right now.  Find ways to help others. Take steps to create clarity in your work life to offset the confusion and fog about your life purpose. To create balance, lighten your load at work by delegating responsibilities and tasks to others.

Lower expression: Stress impacts your body more than usual, so take care of yourself by allowing time for relaxation and rejuvenation. Also, disruptions to routines and schedules throws you off your rhythm. Be patient and go with the flow.

7

Higher expression: Expanding into influence is attainable for you this year and this is a huge opportunity. Fall into the soft edges between two or more people in relationship to let go of the need to control and see where it takes you. You have a heightened probability to attract spiritual people into your life.

Lower expression: Others seek you out to help them in inappropriate ways. Uncertainty in your close relationships has you vying for control and mitigating the opportunity to soften the exchange with those closest to you.

8

Higher expression: Beauty in intimate relationships, renewed attraction and romantic tenderness is available to you. You may receive a windfall or other unexpected financial gain.  The mysteries are close to you now, explore them and feel the subtle nuances of energy. Seek healing as you can find excellent healers now.

Lower expression: Unsettled finances and alluring, but fraudulent movements are afoot. Be wary. You may experience challenges with your finances, so take care. Don’t let any finances concerns come between you and your intimate partner. This can be an uplifting time for you and your significant other.

9

Higher expression: Your views of the world are spiritual in nature and you embrace all religions and cultures. Your philosophy expands and your sense of adventure softens to allow you to go with the flow without anticipating what’s next. Seeking soul mate connections in friendships is possible for you.

Lower expression: Ambiguity arises in regards to your pathway of discovery for what intrigues you. You question everything about your foundational perspectives and the meaning of life. Your quest is filled with confusion and doubt. Drop into your heart and make decisions based on your intuition and wisdom. Be discerning.

10

Higher expression: There’s tremendous opportunity for success when you let go of your expectations of how you’re going to achieve it. Allow differences to influence you, but not steer you off course.  If you have intuitive tendencies and want to incorporate them into your work, now is the time. Coming out of the spiritual closet is necessary to the success you seek.

Lower expression: Your authenticity is tested as people don’t see you for who you are, and you may decide it doesn’t matter. You may want to become who people want you to be to create success. Be mindful to go inward and gather your sense of self, your purpose and direction and avoid straying off your true path.

11

Higher expression: Colorful and eclectic people come into your life and you enjoy their presence. Let them expand your definition of the collective by including lots of people and different types of them. Be discerning to ensure you gather the types of people who are aligned.  Enjoy the spiritual lift in your social circles.

Lower expression: Other’s demand too much of you and if you desire to belong is too fierce, you’ll submit to their needs over your own. You may also succumb to peer pressure as you confused about your own direction and let others lead you.

12

Higher expression: Spirituality is central for you now. Let the mysteries guide you to yourself and help others discover their connection to the unknown. Explore your intuitive gifts and look for your hidden strengths. Allow them to come to the fore. Your dream life is rich and powerful.

Lower expression: The unfamiliar and the unknown is disconcerting. It’s too nebulous and you want to know what your next steps are. This is a good time to develop yoru intuition. Pay attention to the signs, symbols and omens in life as they guide you on your path.

Neptune’s dreaminess and tender expressions offset the hardness of the star booms through the year. However, you may drop into delusion, confusion and deception and avoid the push into your future.

It’s best not to do that.

In 2021, good luck is attached to the Saturn expression and he’s the toughest one to get moving, making this the year to take action.

Take advantage of the positive influence for movement now. Say YES to yourself and your big dreams.

Join me LIVE when I explain all of this in my Power Up your Intuition group on Friday, February 5th at 9:30 am ET or catch the replay.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Kim

Get Your Top 3 Tips on How to Be Calm

The energies are super tough right now and so many clients have reached out, I want to give you my 3 top tips for calm. 

They’re free, easy and take almost NO time!

How’s that for awesome? 

My top 3 tips: 

  1. Breath –  1, 3, 10
  2. Mantra – Calm/Patience
  3. Rescue Remedy
1. Breath –  1, 3, 10

This first tip is the magic bullet, the golden nugget or the Holy Grail.  Seriously, this is it. If you take NOTHING else away from this post, please take this first tip. 

There is no right or wrong way to breathe.  If you breathe into your belly, your diaphragm, or your lungs, it’s perfect.  There is no force or direction here. Just let your body breathe the way it wants. 

Breath – 1 is the pause button.  When you take one breath, you are creating a moment of pause for yourself.  Try it right now.  Inhale and exhale.  

Breath – 3 is settling your body.  When you take 3 breaths, you are not only creating a moment of pause, but you are actually settling yourself a bit.  Let’s try it.  Take a breath in and breathe out.  Now again, take another breath, and one more, inhale and exhale.  You probably can feel the breath spreading a little relaxation throughout your body.  For me, I feel a slight tingling in my toes.  

Breath – 10 is hitting the reset button. Taking 10 breaths feels weird.  Yes, I just said that. It feels as if you are breathing for too long and it feels as if you should stop at 6 or 7 breaths.  Don’t stop until you get to 10 breaths.  You will feel better after 10 so complete the set.  

Let’s do it right now to see how it feels. 

Breathe in and then out.

Inhale and exhale.

Take another breath – in and out.

Inhale and exhale. 

Breathe in again and now exhale. 

Breathe in gently and exhale. 

A few more, inhale and exhale. 

Inhale and exhale. 

Breathe in and out. 

One more, inhale and exhale. 

How do you feel? For me, it makes me relaxed yet gives me energy to continue with my day. 

2. Mantras 

You can employ a silent and quick mantra that you say to yourself over and over.

I am patient. 

My patience is rewarded. 

I am  –

patient right now. 

calm. 

peaceful. 

relaxed. 

Silence is the best gift I can give to myself right now. 

I have the answers I need right now. 

I am –

wisdom.

joy. 

uplifted. 

My work is light and my heart full. 

These mantras work to give you a pause moment when you really need one. 

3. Rescue Remedy 

Who knows there is a handy little bottle known as Rescue Remedy that helps calm your body? It’s made by Bach Flower Essences and is available at many supermarket chains, such as: Shaw’s, Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, and your local health food stores.  It’s also available online at Amazon.com, iherb.com or vitacost.com. 

Rescue Remedy comes in a spray, drops, pastilles, gum, cream or melt away drops and can be used during the day, before bed, for adults, children and even for pets. 

If you have any questions, talk to your doctor, nutritionist, or pharmacist. 

Grab a breath, say a mantra or spray some ‘yoga in a bottle.’

Calm is here for you. 

Let’s get some. 

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends. 

As always, wishing you joy, 

Xxx,

Do You Want to Know the Meaning of the 800 Year Christmas Star?

Jupiter and Saturn

Astronomically, Jupiter and Saturn make the brightest star in the sky in 800 years as they pass so closely, they appear to be one bright star. You’ll be able to see it with the naked eye on a clear night all month long, but with greater distinction starting on December 16th

This is the brightest star combination since 1226 as the last closest passing during 1623 was too close to the Sun, so wasn’t observable. 

Astrologically, Jupiter is the inspiration and connection to faith and Saturn is the disciplinarian and has the ability to make your inspirations real. Every 20 years, Jupiter and Saturn begin a new cycle by passing so closely together they form a Grand Conjunction. This one is on December 21st, the Solstice of 2020, occurring at 8:22 am ET, at zero degrees of Aquarius. It’s a new sequence of the air elements after 200 years in the earth element. With Aquarius and air, there’s a new seed dawning. 

Added to this, the Sun enters Capricorn at the same time, creating an opening between the past and the future. The dawn of the new season aligns with the dawn of new energies. There’s more power, as if that’s needed. 

This Christmas star indicates a paradigm shift for humanity and a breakthrough to the other side. New solutions, innovation, freedom and technology reign. Aquarius relieves the heaviness of Capricorn as it brings hope for the future, invents advanced technologies and sets high ideals. This combination creates freedom and equity. 

What does it mean for you? 

If you know your birth time, go to https://www.astro.com/ and enter your date, time and place of birth. Once you get your birth chart, look for the sign of Aquarius symbol, and then look at the inner circle to find the number related to the beginning of the symbol. In this instance, it’s an 8. 

Kicking off the next 20 years, but more specifically, throughout 2021, look to the number to determine where to put your energies. Over the next year, the opportunity to break free of limitations and to find freedom is at an all-time high. Look at the table below to see how the energies will support you throughout 2021.

House Stop Start
1 Stop playing a role that’s expected of you and start… BEING YOU
2 Stop paying too much for your money and start… BEING PAID FOR WHAT YOU LOVE
3 Stop holding your tongue and start… SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH
4 Stop paying the price of putting other’s needs above your own and start… BEING SELFISH
5 Stop numbing yourself to escape and start… BEING PAID FOR WHAT YOU LOVE
6 Stop acting like you owe other’s something and start… CHOOSING YOU
7 Stop getting deeply entangled in unequal or unfulfilling relationships and start… SIMPLIFYING RELATIONSHIPS
8 Stop ignoring your deep power and sexuality and start… BEING POWERFULLY INTIMATE
9 Stop buying into dogma and being judgmental and start… BEING DISCERNING
10 Stop being falsely employed and start… WORKING IN AUTHENTICITY
11 Stop creating chaos and distractions and start… BEING STRATEGIC
12 Stop playing the pious pauper and start… VALUING YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Happy Solstice. 
and Christmas Star. 
and Happy New Era. 

As always, wishing you joy, 

Xxx, Kim

December: New Era NOW

Overall:

As predicted by the Mayans re: 2012, we’ve been working on the NEW ERA since  then with key celestial moments in 2012, 2016 and 2020.  

We’ve had to plunge deeply into the dark in order to find wholeness and only then  can we come to the surface, climb the right summit (which is unique to each one  of us) to declare victory.  

Big dates:

12/17 Saturn enters Aquarius  

12/19 Jupiter enters Aquarius 

12/21 Jupiter conjunction Saturn closest one since 1623- signaling epochal  social change (next one on Oct 31, 2040) Zero degrees in air – first time in  almost 200 years; every other has been in earth signs. NEW ERA 12/23 Mars square Pluto 

Week 1: Sunday 12/5 – Saturday 12/11 – Embrace the loft. 

There’s loft and supportive influences. You may still question and have residual  doubts, but for the most part, you’re relieved and actually looking forward to the  holiday festivities, even if they’re abbreviated. You’re especially anticipating the end  of this year. You can count the days until 2020 comes to a close. If you have the  energy, take advantage of the creative and inspirational energies.  

Week 2: Sunday 12/12 – Saturday 12/18 – Stay flex.  

Wacky communications, technology and travel (if there is any). Don’t be deceived – lies, deceptions and corrupt propaganda reign for the rest of the month. It will be  so easy to believe the worst, to judge and to abdicate responsibility due to  overwhelm. Don’t succumb. This is what you’ve been preparing for, it’s what I’ve  been urging and then bribing (5×5) to get you out of your mind and into your  instinct, intuition, wisdom.  

New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse: 12/14 – Open mind and heart. 12/14 New Moon @ 11:18 am EST Sag conjunct to nodes of Ceres in Sag/Gem The higher expression is using your will power to bring new ideas, to understand  different viewpoints and to appreciate the various cultures, perspectives and ways of living. This can be the golden summit for humanity if you can let go of judgment,  narrowmindedness and fear.  

The lower expression is to hold onto dogmatic views, maintain prejudice and judge  anyone who is different or disagrees with your opinions. This can be incredibly a  righteous, angry and volatile time. The pinnacle of which hasn’t been seen in  decades.  

With this Full Moon and Total Eclipse, there’s more support than opposition. To  get it right, drop into your inner knowing, feel what’s in your heart and speak out in  brave and courageous ways. Be a role model for what you know is right and true.  

Week 3: Sunday 12/19 – Saturday 12/25 – Stay in your lane.  What a week! It’s what you’ve been waiting your whole life for – it’s the reason your  soul said YES. This can’t be overstated. How are you going to welcome the new era  into your life? How big can you dream? The power to be a huge success is right here,  right now. STAY IN YOUR LANE. DO you. BE you. LOVE you.  

SOLSTICE 12/21 – NEW ERA 

The beginning of the next millennium begins today. The themes are innovation,  humanity and grass roots. They’ll be incredible tension as the outdated modes will  hang on with their last breath. The power structure is crumbling, but it won’t go  away peacefully, it won’t be a melting into the background. It’s going to go kicking  and screaming.  

In the abstract, it’s easy to think you’ll be on the side of the new – innovation,  humanity and grass roots, but you may surprise yourself. This doesn’t look like  government, big institutions and corporations holding all of the power. Again, that  sounds oppressive and it is. However, with the power, these institutions have also  accepted responsibility for paying, housing and contributing, financially and  otherwise, to many. Get real and be honest with yourself. What side of receiving  services are you on? What do you expect to be taken care of by big institutions?  Everyone wants the trash to be picked up, the internet to run smoothly and the  roads to be cleared after a storm.  

Think about it – it’s going to get real. It’s going to be a rocky road for the next few  years. For me, I’m holding the full potential and endless possibility for humanity.  You’ve heard me talk about it for you in your 1:1 sessions or in society. I may even have mentioned it in my free Facebook group (Power Up Your Intuition with True KLT). However, I also do this for the Mother  Earth and her inhabitants. I even do it for the celestial universe.  

Week 4: Sunday 12/26 – Saturday 1/1 – Glimpse of future.  Changes are happening and they’re positive. Stay on course with your dreams,  intentions and goals, but embrace new supports and opportunities as they present  themselves to you. The unknown and unexpected is the name of the game in 2021.  

Full Moon: 12/29 – Turn up the kindness.  

12/29 Full Moon @ 10:30 pm EST Cap/Can 

This is a time for sensitivity and tenderness. Breathe new life into anything outdated.  Feel positive about the future.  

Supportive magical tools

Tarot: Synergy – 6 of Worlds 

Represents Lover’s ability to bring resources together to create alliance of power  and success. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Combine your inner  resources and abilities with others. The collective has power. Organize, co-create,  and work in teams. Synergy requires you to think holistically and creatively, have  emotional courage and physical stamina. In synergy, everyone wins. 

Crystal: Morion Quartz 

This makes smoky quartz seem like a weakling. This is smoky quartz on steroids.  She’s the Queen of the Earth star as she helps you feel safe, provides protection  for all bodies, over time and space as she helps you make things real.  

Totally grounding. You are a human. Yes, you’re infinite, but you’ve chosen to be  human. So be it. Get earthly. Be real. Revel in your humanness. Also, huge karmic  cleanser. Seriously, no joke – soul DNA getting you stuck – work with her. For a total crazy healing (only for masters), use in conjunction with smoky quartz and  natural citrine. For even more power, use with elestial smoky quartz.  

Flower essence: Gorse 

The hope flower. It’s all about the solar plexus. Activate your will to live life to the  fullest. Get rid of those areas of your life where you don’t live fully.  

Spirit animal: Ram

Start. Begin now. Do the things you’ve been thinking of, wanting to learn, eager to  lean into – now is the time.  

BEGIN.  

Goddess: Aine 

Leap of faith. Even when you can’t see the next step – fling yourself into it – completely and wholeheartedly. Just do it.  

Supportive practical tips

Affirmation: choose one or two. 

I am powerful.  

My mind is filled with wonder.  

My heart is open with trust.  

I am 

– intuitive.  

– wise.  

– knowing.  

– my dreams.

My business is a success.  

I’ve realized my dreams.

I stay in my lane.  

I love everyone.  

Business:  

1st ½ of the month: Stay flex. Work on things you’ve already planned. Don’t be  distracted by what’s happening on the political stage if that isn’t your lane. Same  thing for social media. Be focused. Keep your eye on the long-term. Be in lockstep  with your goals.  

2nd ½ of month: Use your intuition, wisdom and knowing to determine what’s real  for you and your business. You may have to pivot in the next month or two. Get  rooted and watch for signs. Remember your mission and your vision. There’s no  reason to get off track. Just be mindful the world stage is getting rocky. Definitely  don’t react. Stay on message. Be compassionate, certainly, but most importantly, act  in integrity with you and your business goals.

What Does Powerful Leadership Look Like These Days?

Typical leadership models focus on masculine skills

Typical leadership models focus on masculine skills. Think about it,  even the most powerful women and women-identified leaders lead with this masculine model. Women contort themselves to focus, compete, drive & strive and work with limited resources. 

Women have become successful with this typical model and have had to, up until now. 

Now? 

It’s time. 

It’s time for women to use their natural strengths

Combining women’s natural strengths with masculine skills raises leadership to a whole new level. 

How powerful leadership really works

Working with your natural gifts is key to being a successful leader day-in and day-out. When you’re fighting your natural tendencies, leading becomes draining. So many women are working against their innate gifts, so operate in suboptimal capacity and become aggravated or burn out. 

It’s true for men too, but they may not realize it as readily as they are still operating within their natural skill set. 

However, how many men feel powerfully successful as leaders

I can tell you as I’ve worked with hundreds – not many

Why is this true? 

Men are working against the energy available to them. 

Let’s look at the most powerful leadership energy. 

The most powerful leadership quality

The most powerful leadership quality is the combination of the feminine and masculine traits. 

This powerful quality is available to everyone and works with both the yin and the yang simultaneously. The feminine trait is the yin to the masculine’s yang.  These combined traits propel you into powerfully successful leadership, if you let them.

You require both to be wildly successful. 

How can you use both the feminine and masculine traits? 

Recognize the feminine traits are different than masculine. It’s just that simple and complex. Feminine traits are cyclic, receptive and commanding. Masculine traits are static, forward moving and demanding. 

Working with both is the key to powerful leadership success.

I’ve created a simple formula to combine the feminine strengths with the masculine skills and I call these The 5 Power Pairs.

The 5 Power Pairs

Integrating the two trait signatures makes for powerful leadership. The feminine strengths involve intuition, potential, cyclic rhythms, collaboration and creation. While the masculine skills involve logic, purpose, expansion, competition and production. 

One attribute set is no better than the other, but each requires both to get lasting results. Powerfully successful leaders are brilliant, influential and leave a legacy while making tremendous impact and living in financial freedom. 

What is the simple formula that can make you a powerful leader too

Here are five power pairs of the masculine skill + feminine strength to give you the resulting outcome. 

  1. Logic + Intuition => Brilliance 
  2. Purpose  + Potential => Influence
  3. Expansion + Cycles => Sustainability
  4. Competition + Collaboration => Impact
  5. Production + Creation => Prosperity

If you are curious about learning more about cultivating powerful leadership success, subscribe to my Intuitive Leader Insider newsletter on Linked In

Being a powerfully successful leader makes you irresistible

When you incorporate the combination of feminine and masculine energies into your leadership strategy, you become irresistible to the marketplace. 

Who doesn’t want to work with someone who is equally collaborative and appropriately competitive? Who attracts abundance easily and readily?  Who produces and creates amazing services and products and gets results?

When you blend both the feminine strengths with the masculine skills, everyone wants to follow you and hangs onto your every word. Your influence becomes known in the marketplace. 

As you elevate your standing, you increase your sales conversions because your prospects have already convinced themselves of your worth. As you increase sales, you command more authority to make greater impact. 

The growth cycle is obvious and it all begins with combining the feminine strengths with the masculine skills. 

The time for powerfully successful leadership through the 5 power pairs is now. The stars say so, and as I’m on a first-name basis with the stars, I have to say now is the time.

Why the True Know Like Trust Factor of Business is Way More Than Marketing and Sales

In another article, I’ve mentioned the Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ® (KLT) Factor as a revolutionary secret to being a huge success. We’ve all heard about (or are very familiar with) the KLT factor in business and how necessary it is. Experts say that having your audience know, like, and trust (KLT) you is the most important thing you can have in business. While it is important, my belief is there’s a different place to start. 

What if I told you the starting point was actually knowing, liking and trusting yourself first? Just like bringing the Divine into your business (more on that here) is a matter of internal power giving you power externally, knowing, liking, and trusting yourself first works the same way. The Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ® KLT Factor is all about knowing, liking and trusting yourself first before your audience/customers do. Once you know what it truly means to KLT yourself, you can bring in the typical KLT the business world has ingrained into our heads. 

The KLT Factor the experts say we need

The typical KLT model for business says that in order to be successful you have to get your audience to know, like and trust you before you can even think about converting sales. There are a lot of classes, webinars and workshops in marketing that teach  this concept and how to do it just like the experts. And, the experts aren’t wrong.

To have success in business, you have to convert sales or get clients to buy your services and/or products. So of course your audience needs to KLT you. Being genuine, transparent and honest is important and it’s a good way into the hearts of your audience.

Think about your favorite brands, stores, authors or anyone you’ve done business with that you keep going back to. Why are you going back to them? Our favorite brands have a certain reputation perhaps or position among the market. They are the best of the best. They might command respect. They might be the top leader or visionary. I don’t believe they became giants with stark raving fans simply because they were just trying to get sales. They know, like and trust themselves and their products/services, what they stand for and what they are all about, first and foremost. 

There’s a way to make the depth of KLT even more delicious and magnetic and that’s to truly know, like and, trust yourself first. KLT is good. It’s necessary. But Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ®  is better. Here’s what Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ® can look like. 

Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ® 

Ask yourself this: How are you going to get anyone else to KLT you if you don’t KLT yourself? If you lack trust, confidence or belief in yourself, how do you expect someone else to do it for you? Everything starts internally and it is necessary for the traditional external KLT to work. I break each section down so you can understand the internal portion of KLT.

Know

What is it to know yourself fully? You want to step into that self-awareness of yourself. So when you do that, you absolutely want to be looking at things you are comfortable with, satisfied with, and thrilled with. Things you want to be really proud of and their strengths and their super powers and all that groovy-goodness. It’s taking that mirror and going in; when that mirror is reflected back at you, what do you see? Think about what you are passionate about and what makes you happy and how you find your joy. Those are three different questions and three different answers. These are all things to know about yourself. What I often ask my group members when talking about this is: Who are you at midnight when no one is watching? 

Like

When we like ourselves, we accept ourselves—the good, the bad, and the ugly. We can be really, really open about talking about ourselves and who we are. I bet you like yourself a lot. I bet you can say, “You know what? I really like myself. I like my friends, the life I have. I like myself as a person.” But what it boils down to is this: How much do you show yourself that you like yourself? Do you take care of yourself? Do you date yourself? Do you let yourself be enchanted? Do you ever pause and celebrate yourself? How much you show that you like yourself, whatever they may look like, is the real indicator as to how much you like yourself now.

Trust

Trusting your intuition is 100% something you can do on your own. You can practice doing it by making decisions with authority and when you see it come to fruition it proves to yourself that you were right. Each of these moments of “proof” fosters inner trust.  But trust, real trust, is not something you can do on your own. Trust is between people. Trust is totally in the heartspace. The mind is the reflector of trust. The mind is a good measurement, so to speak. The mind brings you into judgment, fear, doubt and the fear of missing out (FOMO). It’s following somebody else’s path because it worked for them and they were successful. 

When I talk about trusting yourself, I say it’s all about you and your uniqueness. Every single pathway to success is different. If you’re judging people for having a lack of integrity, look at yourself. If you’re judging people because they are gossipy, look at yourself. I’m not saying you are a gossip, I’m saying it’s trust. And it is a lack of trust in yourself, when you are looking at people externally. You have to look internally. When you build trust in yourself, you can build trust in others. It’s a beautiful lattice that just builds on itself. 

Using Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ® to help increase your marketing and sales

When you truly KLT yourself, you become a magnet. Your sales become beautiful. You become the brand, speaker or author people are attracted to and come back to for more. This is where you turn back to the typical KLT factor in business. It will come naturally to your audience because you fully know, like and trust yourself. Imagine the power you will have! You won’t have to get your audience to KLT you because you’ve done all the work for them. Stepping into the world and your business, saying YES to yourself will only make your audience say yes to you, too. 

Following your instincts, developing your intuition, and listening to your inner voice is all part of the true KLT factor. This is the starting point. You must look internally in order for the external to be powerful. Things in business will come easier to you when you are truly the person you are meant to be and have that power. Your audience will be drawn to you, and your teams or employees will LOVE working with you. That translates into a full, satisfying, delicious life and business—which is what you want right? 

Want to know how you Know, like and trust yourself? Take the quiz I’ve got so much more to share with you. The results give you so much about your  Do You Know, Like & Trust Yourself ® quotient. It’s information all about YOU.

Kim Woods: 5 Things You Need to be a Highly Effective Leader During Turbulent Times

Categories
Strategy Leadership

The best business partner is the Divine Business Partner

Have you been living your life based on the definitions other people made about what success is and what it looks like? Have you been building and operating your business based off of someone else’s roadmap? 

Believe me, you’re not the only one. We look up to those who are successful in business and decide that since they did it this way, this is the way it has to be done. If you have found success that way, that’s great. Who doesn’t want success? I’m not knocking on that, but I do want to let you in on a secret (one of three actually). There is another way you can reign in even more success and fulfillment then those you’ve been following. Doesn’t that sound delicious? 

I want to begin by addressing mindset. There is a lot of talk out there about mindset. Mindset is beautiful and I love it; but mindset is only the first step. We have to leverage the power of our mind with the power of the Divine. Stick with me here. 

How would it feel to be fully confident in yourself and the decisions you make for your business, life and opportunities that come your way? What if I told you that passion, power and prosperity integrated with your business strategy, leadership and growth were the key to unlocking more success? Intriguing, right? Having the Divine as your business partner uplevels you and your business. 

Mindset is Only the Beginning

If you have a closed mind, or a mind filled with doubt or fear, you are not going to be leaning in and saying “show me the money” right now. You are going to be weaving and rolling around with that doubt and uncertainty. Having a growth mindset or open mindset to receive abundance, joy, success, that is the first step.

Mindset is a beautiful gift but also a weapon. When I talk about that, people tend to take a step back. Our mind is programmed to protect us. As our mind is protecting us, our mind doesn’t want us to deal with anything unknown, or anything uncertain or anything unfamiliar. Think about what is going on right now, everything is unfamiliar, uncertain, and unknown. The mind is in overdrive. 

We can love our minds because it is doing its job, but its job isn’t about taking that leap of faith. Its job isn’t just going with the flow and saying everything is going to be groovy-good even though it doesn’t actually know. The mind tends to freak out on us. 

I love that people are talking about mindset. It is gorgeous. But it’s also only 30% of the equation. Because even if you’re open minded (or growth-minded) to receive more, the trust and faith you need to do the thing that will actually bring more to you, well, that’s where the brain is going to go “Hold up, I don’t think so.”  So, yes, get your mindset taken care of. Make sure you’re open. Make sure you’re ready for growth. Then, take the next step. That’s where all the goodness lies.

Shifting the Paradigm

As I’ve said before in a different article here, the typical paradigm for business is to be entirely cognitive (or in your head/mind). We use data, rationalizations, quantifications, and formulas for business decision-making and strategy. And we establish goals and ways to accomplish those goals. We get formal training that tells us how something should be done, because “that’s the way it is done.” These are all great tools, but it leaves out instinct, feelings or other sensory input we can receive if we cultivate it. Here is where I bring in the Divine. 

I define Divine as the unknown, unseen, and unfamiliar presence that is felt and can be accessed when you truly connect. It’s the gut feeling that you have when making decisions and taking action. Making those decisions based on values and personal goals, dreams, desires and intuition. This is where you can have the Divine as a business partner. You need the Divine in your business. 

Connecting to the Divine can give you superpowers. Now, I’m not talking comic-book superpowers, but individual power. You will have power in:

  1. Decision making
  2. Aligning with support and opportunity
  3. Creating products and service offerings
  4. Attracting your Soul-Mate client
  5. Drawing raving fans

With all those superpowers, how are you not going to see success in your business? So here’s how these two really work together. There are three pairs. 

How the Divine Meets your Business in Application

There are three Ps I connect to the Divine (remember, that’s  the unknown, unseen and unfamiliar). Those Ps are purpose, power and prosperity. But how do you apply those words and integrate it all into business? I partner each of the Ps with a business aspect. 

Strategy/Purpose

The business aspect of strategy focuses on your mission, vision, values, philosophy approach and the pricing matrix. It is very straight-laced and corporate. To merge your strategy with the Divine is for you to get into your purpose, intuition and to not be the tumbleweed that is rolling down the desert road. It isn’t just about mindset. It is getting into making clear/definitive decisions, having clear focus, being aligned with the flow so you can be in your lane. People talk about values but they don’t make them a pillar of their business strategy. What values do you embody and what values do you intend? What is your purpose on this planet? And you have to be really aligned with the Divine to answer that question. The Divine gets you crystal clear and focused which informs your business strategy. 

Leadership/Power

Typical business aspects of leadership focus on the 10 roles of a manager – only two are about work and eight are about people. There are also varying leadership styles around communication, decision-making, authority and organizational structure. To merge with the Divine, you have to own yourself. You have to have confidence and know your self-worth so you are clear internally that you have the authority to make stuff happen. It isn’t focused on caring about whether or not people like you. Yes, you can care but it isn’t a big deal anymore. It is more about being respected and that empowers how you lead, make decisions and stand in your own authority. 

Growth/Prosperity

Business is all about growth, scalability, marketing, outreach, external communication, visibility, being a money machine, having something that you can sell. Now, that is a great list and yes, they are all important but having growth, just for the sake of growth, isn’t going to lead to prosperity. You have to be in alignment with opportunity and support. Being an unbelievable collaborator and working with others brings you tremendous growth and prosperity. You have to actually be on the impact side of being generous, giving referrals, testimonials, and moving into a position of influence. Command your own stage and have influence over it. Trust your stage and get rid of the money issues. When you are in abundance (personified) and have love and are open to your creativity, you will uplevel the power of the business aspects that we know of as growth. Focusing on the internal will only make the external more powerful. 

You don’t have to live the status-quo

You have the choice to operate your business and your life differently. Break the mold, change the pattern and shift the paradigm. There is no reason to lack passion, fulfillment and ease because someone once said (or you told yourself) that there is only one way to do things. Or because someone else said that success was accomplishing ‘this’ or ‘that.’ It starts with you. 

Starting with your mindset is important, but it isn’t where you stop. Having the Divine as a business partner completely changes and scales your business. You shift the paradigm from “it’s how it has always been done,” to using the superpowers of the Divine. Marrying the three P’s – purpose, power and prosperity – with your business applications will inform your strategy, leadership and growth. 

With the Divine as your business partner you will reach your dreams. This transformation starts with you—the internal only makes the external more powerful.
