New Moon in Aquarius & Chinese New Year – Opening Doors to Abundance and Freedom

The Aquarian New Moon signifies the New Era with its future-oriented, visionary and inclusive ways and this year, this New Moon is also the Chinese New Year. The cosmic synchronicity of these 2 star-studded events with the uncharted territory of 5 outer planets changing zodiac signs, cannot be overstated.

It’s the New Moon, New Year and New Era.

Welcome to the New!

Let’s start with the New Moon and your Intuitive Success Signature, to measure how you enter into this new world, and then continue with the Chinese New Year and your power through your Chinese animal and finally, explore your success in the New Era with strategies just for you.

I. The New Moon in the New Era

New Moon in Aquarius 2025: Future and Innovation Unfurled

January 29th marks a momentous New Moon at 7:37am ET, when the Sun and the Moon align at 9° Aquarius. Aquarius, the sign of the visionary, ushers you into a world filled with innovation, independence, and the celebration of uniqueness without separation from the collective. This celestial event invites you to embrace originality, strategic thinking, and a deep appreciation for the mysteries of life.

Aquarian energy provides a fertile ground for grand ideas and breakthroughs, reminiscent of Darwin’s explorations and forward-thinking mindset. This isn’t just about new beginnings—it’s about fundamental shifts. The harmonious support from Jupiter in Gemini amplifies your ability to see the bigger picture while Uranus in Taurus brings about a bold reawakening, tempered by the grounding influence of Mars retrograde in Cancer.

There are no coincidences in astrology and the Jupiter influence with this Aquarian New Moon with the Chinese New Year is serendipitous because the Chinese energetic shifts follow the path of Jupiter’s rotation around the Sun. Get the benefits of your Intuitive Success Signature and then move onto the Chinese New Year energies.

Intuitive Success Signatures: Aligning with Your Cosmic Blueprint

You can step through the open window the New Moon has created.

Here’s how you can tap into the profound energies of this stellar alignment for your Intuitive Success Signature:

Wise Strategist: Embrace the opportunity to see the world from a new perspective. Focus on precise observation without self-blame. Remember, you are the expert. Trust your insights and maintain your power without external validation.
Intuitive Visionary: Stand in your genius. Allow your brilliant insights to shine through your marketing and sales efforts. Don’t just share your insights—live them and let them shape your presence.
Collaborative Explorer: You are the one who sees connections others miss. Recognize your gift in identifying these hidden answers and share them confidently. Your unique perspective fills the gaps in the collective understanding.
Ruling Warrior: Step into the future with confidence, even if it feels uncomfortable. Leave the past behind and embrace your growth opportunities. Stand in your success absent of comparisons or competition.
Creative Superstar: Reveal your true self to the world. Your charm and creativity will forge connections and bring freedom. Let your authenticity pave the way to new opportunities.
Loving Alchemist: Utilize your deep thoughts and conversations to magnetize others to you. Lean into your natural power to transform and bring forth life with grace and connection.

If you haven’t taken the 12-question quiz to find out your Intuitive Success Signature, go here to your default response – your thoughts, your feelings or your actions.

II. Happy Chinese New Year!

2025 is the Chinese New Year of the Wood Snake that signifies wisdom, healing and transformation. Strategic growth is possible when you slow down and move like the tortoise instead of the hare. The 2nd half of the year is going to move impossibly fast, so progressing slowly to counterbalance the seismic shifts this year is imperative.

You’ll be out of alignment when you let the cosmic energies push you too far too fast. The snake digests everything thoroughly before moving onto the next thing.

Lunar Calendar

The lunar calendar is the New Moon in the late January to mid-February timeframe. It signifies the start of spring in China. On the Gregorian calendar, this date falls between January 21 and February 20. It’s always the 2nd New Moon, which is either the Aquarian or Piscean New Moon. This year, it’s the Aquarian one.

Chinese Zodiac Animals

There are 12 Chinese zodiac animals, beginning on the Chinese New Year of each year. These animals are associated with one of the five Chinese elements, making the full cycle a 60-year one.

Opportunities from Magic Triangle of Possibility

The Magic Triangle to support humanity into the New Era forms in 2024 and holds until 2028, providing 4 years of support when the world needs it most. The complexity of astrology isn’t easy to explain, but I’ll endeavor to do it within this article.

Sit back, grab your favorite beverage and allow your mind to open to the mind-blowing dance of the cosmos.

Let’s begin.

Magic Triangle between Uranus – Neptune – Pluto

It’s astounding that this Magic Triangle forms because the chance that a 500-year cycle syncs up with a 165-year and 115-year cycle is infinitesimal.

Yet, it’s happening. Now, in your lifetime. Your soul has chosen to be here at this time to experience this creation of the New Era.

These stars have been dancing for the last 500 years to get into place to help usher humanity into the New Era. When I say, “The stars are conspiring for your success,” I mean it.

Astrological symbols for Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, and Pluto in Aquarius with the years 2024–2028 inside a cosmic triangle against a celestial background.

Elegant Planetary Cycles

To fully comprehend the star impact of this Magic Triangle for you, the cycles of each planet must be explored. Each planet rotates around the Sun and that’s discussed in the entering new zodiac signs section of this article. For example, Uranus takes 84 years to rotate completely around the Sun. Each planet, not only rotates around the Sun, but have rotation cycles with every other planet in the solar system.

Planetary Cycles Are Like the Sun & Moon

In order to understand how the planetary cycles work, you can look at the Sun and the Moon since you’ve had lots of experience with this 28-day cycle. Think about how you’ve used the ‘setting intentions’ energy during the New Moon to manifest what you want and celebrating the ‘releasing to make space’ energies of the Full Moon. In fact, each phase of the Moon marks a different energy:

  • New Moon – Sun & Moon conjunct – which is a blending to begin a new cycle
  • Waxing crescent – Sun & Moon waxing sextile – excitement builds for your intention
  • First quarter – Sun & Moon square – confronting energy for discernment and decision
  • Waxing Gibbous – Sun & Moon trine – smoothing out obstacles to support you
  • Full Moon – Sun & Moon opposite – highest peak to stop, assess and celebrate
  • Waning Gibbous – Sun & Moon trine – smoothing out to help you release blocks
  • Third quarter – Sun & Moon square – confronting energy to push you to let go
  • Waning Crescent – Sun & Moon sextile – stimulates healing to create space

Going back to Uranus again, Uranus and Neptune blend together every 165 years, acting just like a New Moon when the Sun and Moon meet every month. Once these two planets meet, they kick off a new 165-year cycle. The most recent meetup between Uranus and Neptune was in 1993, and to give you an idea of the length of this cycle, the time before that was 1828.

From the New to Full aspects, this is known as the waxing phase that involves growing, expanding and manifesting. From the Full to the New aspects, this is the waning phase known for letting go, releasing and dissolving.

To get an idea of the power in the Magic Triangle, let’s look at the 3 points of the triangle to identify where they are in their cycles and how they’ll support you for the next handful of years.

Magic Triangle Planetary Cycles

This Magic Triangle provides a Sea of Possibility that changes your life when you know how to tap into it. Between 2024 – 2028, all of these 3 outer planetary cycles are in the waxing phase of their connection. This is the opening salvo for Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Neptune, Pluto and Uranus form a supportive triangle, that I’m calling the Magic Triangle to provide support from 2024 – 2028 to the entire world. There are a few exact configurations this year, but overall these 3 outer planets give their thumbs up.

Supportive energies with this mini-triangle as sextiles excite and stimulate while the bigger trine harmonizes. Uranus excites Neptune and Neptune excites Pluto. Uranus and Pluto harmonize each other for the first time since their conjunction in 1966.

The relationships between the 3 outer planets are as follows:

  • Quest for Freedom: Uranus – Neptune: waxing sextile since cycle began in 1993 (165-year cycle)
  • Pioneering Spirit: Neptune – Pluto: waxing sextile since cycle began in 1891 (493-year cycle)
  • Spiritual Awakening: Uranus – Pluto: waxing sextile since cycle began in 1966 (115-year cycle)

The supportive energies of this magic triangle of the 2 sextiles excite while the bigger trine harmonizes. Uranus excites Neptune and Neptune excites Pluto while Uranus and Pluto harmonize each other for the first time since their conjunction in 1966.

The triangle characteristics are spongy during 2024 and 2025 due to the retrograde periods of these outer planets. 2024 marks Pluto’s movement between Capricorn and Aquarius confusing the world with its lack of commitment to the New Era.

In 2025, Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 until October 22, 2025 when he retrogrades back into Pisces. Neptune moves back into Aries on January 26, 2026 until 2039. Meanwhile, Uranus moves into Gemini from July 7 to November 8, 2025 when he goes back into Taurus until April 2026.

Uranus-Neptune: Quest for Freedom

Astrological alignment of Uranus and Neptune in a waxing sextile with the phrase 'Quest for Freedom' and 'Cycle 1993' over a geometric cosmic design and sunset landscape. Uranus – Neptune – waxing sextile since cycle began in 1993 (165-year cycle)

The Quest for Freedom begins with Uranus conjunct Neptune in Capricorn at 19° to ignite the digital age, tribalism and social revolution. This blending smashed through convention, institution and governments across the world. The shifts through Uranus and Neptune initiating in Capricorn eroded boundaries and tradition.

The Uranus and Neptune cycle occurs every 165 years and this one began in 1993, making this sextile the first configuration between these two planets in the last 30 years. There are 5 times these two planets stimulate each other exactly between 2025 – 2027.

The exact dates of this waxing sextile cycle are:

  • Uranus conjunct Neptune in 1993 to launch this cycle
  • Waxing sextile in 2025 on August 28 & November 20, 2025
  • Waxing sextile in 2026 on July 25, 2026
  • Waxing sextile in 2027 on January 15 & June 6, 2027
  • Waxing square 5 times between October 2039 – July 2041

Uranus and Neptune begin their cycle in 1993 and are in their first aspect, so their waxing sextile amplifies their energies. They’ve initiated the digital age, cultural leaps and civil revolution and are now revisiting how the world is doing on this quest.

Now, Uranus moves into Gemini and then into Cancer while Neptune travels through Aries. Neptune holds the awakened truth of revolution as Uranus moves from the innovative ideals and revolutionary communication methods of Gemini to the massive shifts in family structures and the status quo of personal relationships.

Breaking free from familial roots, ancestral dynamics and historical experiences is Uranus’ function in Cancer. Defensives, protective boundaries and financial security break down.

The last time these two planets were sextile occurred due to its prior cycle that began in 1821 and the waning parts of the cycle are less energized than the waxing ones. Think New to Full Moon phase for manifestation versus the Full to New Moon phase for realizing and creating space.

  • Last time waning square 5 times from July 1954 through May 1956
  • Last time waning sextile from prior cycle September 1966 through May 1968

In the 1950’s Uranus was in the sign of Cancer and Neptune was in Libra. Most of you reading this guide won’t recall how the energies impacted you personally, however in the world, the mid-1950’s were about Rosa Parks and civil rights, Warsaw Pact re: Cold War, Vietnam War and the debut of McDonald’s and Disneyland.

In the 1960’s Uranus was in Virgo and Neptune was in Scorpio. The late 1960’s brought social unrest due to the hottest summer riots in 1967, Civil Rights Act, assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr and Robert Kennedy and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

In this 5-time-sextile-cycle between 2025 – 2027, the world gets its first opening of this energy since 1993. Gemini Uranus and Aries Neptune spark a spiritual awakening with a massive shock due to the dissolution of every structure that has the possibility of creating mass confusion and delusion. This susceptibility of the masses can make people fall prey to crazy ideas, hysteria and false gurus.

Yet, there’s a positive side. Through this quest for freedom, people also become concerned about the future of humanity with a philosophy to be connected in unity. There’s a free-spirited, innovative and freedom-seeking nature to these planets. Science, art, psychology and justice for political, cultural and environmental change become the norm.

Personally, the key with these stars is to link a clear mind to an open heart and take action based on a deeper level of understanding. Uranus and Neptune want the soul to lead, bringing a surge in creativity, intuitive genius and psychic inklings.

Neptune-Pluto: Pioneering Spirit

The Pioneering Spirit energy has been in everyone’s star chart since 1947 and will continue until 2032. Less than 6% of the population today doesn’t involve the Neptune-Pluto sextile in their own stars. Perhaps 94% of people can open to their own spiritual awakening with the help of the Magic Triangle.

This pioneering spiritual cycle began in 1891 with Neptune and Pluto in Gemini at 7°. Gemini is the initiator of ideas and discovery, who can handle duality, shifting perspectives and changing energies. However, Gemini doesn’t do well with commitment, tenacity or stability. The moniker of pioneer for this cycle is earned through the discovery nature of Gemini.

The spiritual aspect of life has an indomitable energy to realize unlimited potential. Removing bias of religion, gender, sexual preferences and race is possible. However, each planet brings every thing unhealthy to the surface for healing and transformation. When I say, “You chose to be here now with these people, in this place, doing these thing,” I’m reminding you how much your soul wanted to be here to usher the world into the New Era.

At this time, Neptune and Pluto are in their first aspect of the waxing crescent, so are in sextile with each other. They’re exciting each other’s energies, giving you their relationship information for the first time. However, this is such a long cycle, this sextile has been coming together with intensity since 1947 and will last until 2032.

This cycle isn’t like other ones with exact dates as there’s a coming together and pulling apart over a series of years. The coming together time frames occurred from 1950 – 1955 with Neptune in Libra and Pluto in Leo and 1976 – 1984 with Neptune in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. Cultural advances through television, music and art exploded into social reform toward the individual versus homogeny. The individual reform moves into personal freedom and awakening.

Right now, Neptune has two sides in the triangle, one with Pluto and the other with Uranus. As Neptune moves from Pisces into Aries, he moves away from deception, escapism and delusion, but also away from intuition, healing and creativity. When Neptune steps into Aries, it’s a massive wakeup call as Neptune lets go of the watery support of Pisces to welcome the fiery spark of Aries. The rose-colored glasses come off and you suddenly see everything clearly. This is a huge truth bomb.

Right now, Pluto has 2 sides in the triangle, one with Neptune and one with Uranus. With Pluto in Aquarius, he’s let go of Capricorn, moving away from greed, power grabs and stoicism as well as leadership, institutions and role models. With Pluto in Aquarius, he opens to freedom, innovation and inclusion. The heavy traditional constructs give way to light unconventional patterns.

Mass consciousness has the opportunity to step into its highest potential. The Magic Triangle supports this initiation.

Uranus-Pluto: Spiritual Awakening

Uranus – Pluto – waxing trine since cycle began in 1966 (115-year cycle)

The Spiritual Awakening begins in 1966 with Uranus and Pluto coming together in Virgo to ignite a 115-year cycle for societal, spiritual and intergenerational change. Virgo adores wellbeing in work, health and gender status. Virgo is the embodiment of spiritual beings having a human experience. The lineage of working conditions, sexual expression and religious rituals are also up for change. The Uranus-Pluto revolution gets tremendous support for the next handful of years. This couldn’t come at a better time.

Uranus and Pluto trine of support to harmonize the overall effects of the Neptune-Uranus and Neptune-Pluto features. This is liberation at its finest, not always comfortable, but so very necessary.

There are no exact Uranus Pluto trine aspects until 2026 – 2028, but the orb is close enough to feel the effects. In fact, the effects have already begun and will be felt until 2033. The exact aspects are:

  • July 18, 2026
  • November 29, 2026
  • June 15, 2027
  • January 13, 2028
  • May 9, 2028

In 2025, Uranus moves into Gemini, he lets go of Taurus to move away from rigidity, defiance and earthly upheaval as well as creature comforts, ease and luxury. Uranus is the lightning bolt and he pushes away from earthly influences to airy ones. In Gemini, Uranus brings major innovations.

Uranus and Pluto are in trine with each other, so they’re equivalent to the waxing gibbous in the lunar cycle. This is a harmonious and supportive influence and is the 3rd aspected-configuration of this cycle since it began in 1966.

To initiate this sequence, Uranus and Pluto were conjunct from 1962 – 1968 in the sign of Virgo, making this an idealistic mission for wellbeing, workers and intergenerational support.

This first aspect between Uranus and Pluto occurred between 1995 – 1997 when Uranus and Pluto excited each other 5 times in their first sextile. Geopolitically, there are huge shifts with the fall of the Eastern Communist Block, dissolution of Apartheid and Hong Kong reverts back to China. Culturally, Harry Potter is published, the DVD is released and the OJ Simpson trial shines a lens on domestic violence, media’s role and racial tensions.

During 2012 – 2015, Uranus and Pluto squared each other 7 times. These exact squares rocked the world with catastrophic weather events, mass shootings, terrorist attacks and attacks against humanity.

The most notable weather events involve Hurricane Sandy, EF 5 tornadoes, Super typhoon Haiyan in Philippines killing 8,000 people, Typhoon Komen, 881 tornadoes in the US in 2013, deadly floods in Solomon Islands, Bosnia, India, Pakistan, Malawi, Mozambique, earthquakes in China and in Nepal, killing 8,800, heat waves across the world and worsening drought in Ethiopia.

The deadliest mass shootings happened in the US and include; Sandy Hook, Aurora, Washington Navy Yard, Isla Vista, Waco, Charleston Church and San Bernardino.

The attacks against humanity involve Syria’s civil war, terrorism in Paris, Bengazi, India’s rape crisis, Bangladesh’s factory collapse, rise of ISIS, Russia’s takeover of Crimea, and US racially-motivated police shootings.

Other newsworthy mentions are; Barack Obama’s reelection in 2012, Edward Snowden’s whistleblower operation, Ebola outbreak, Malaysian airlines disappearance, sexual assault and domestic violence first high-level convictions (Bill Cosby and NFL).

Each of these destabilizing effects occurred to jolt humanity in the mid-90’s and 2012 – 2015 in order to take responsibility for fixing the unhealthy parts of the climate, attacks on humanity and civil rights.

Now, the supportive stars will either gloss over the negative effects or support the world in realizing the spiritual awakening for unity, harmony and healthy interactions.

Putting It All Together

On the positive side, this quest for personal freedom, spiritual awakening and pioneering spirit into new frontiers through ideas, innovations and cosmic support help humanity realize its full potential.

On the negative side, revolution, destabilizing forces and explosive energies can break up institutions, traditions and belief systems without reinvention or advancement. This could be a period of enlightenment or destruction.

Bravery, innovation and empathy are required to provide the foundation for evolution. Higher consciousness is possible. Anarchy is probable. Living the hero’s journey instead of the victim’s story is the key for each and every person to take the world into the New Era.

The stars are moving into impossible configurations to usher the Earth into the next frontier. As above, so below. This is a critical time, but also one of massive support. Everyone has free will. The stars outline the fate, but when integrated with free will, destiny is realized.

What will the destiny of humanity be through this magically amplified time? That depends. It depends on how brave, innovative and empathic each person can be when faced with astounding adversity.

What It Means for You

Your energies interact directly with the stars in the sky, as above, so below, so let’s look at the impact the Magic Triangle has on you.

Intuitive Visionaries are the most positively impacted of all of the signatures and the Creative Superstars are the most negatively impacted of all of the signatures.

Intuitive Visionaries get a massive boost of inventive ideas while the Creative Superstars lose their incredible creative tide. The Wise Strategists get a more stable foundation and the Collaborative Explorers enter the divine union of balanced flow. Ruling Warriors are jolted awake and because they like disruption, they’re actually in alignment with the initiation of the Magic Triangle. Loving Alchemists benefit from deepening their powerful footing to handle the destabilizing forces of separation.

Your Intuitive Success Signature

The Magic Triangle offers massive support, let’s explore how this configuration relates to how you enter your world. If you haven’t taken the 12-question quiz, take it now to get your New Era tools through the 3 outer planets.

Wise Strategist

Wise Strategists are most susceptible to the upsets in institutions, governments and traditions as you’re closely tied to structures, processes and foundations. You’ve gotten comfortable with the way things are, even if they’re not effective. The destabilizing forces are easing, so this feels good and unfamiliar at the same time.

Standing strongly in your own energies, achievements and experience is the best way forward for you. Remind yourself that these changes will become the norm to establish the footing for the New Era. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to be the leader of these shifts.

Intuitive Visionary

The world is finally catching up to you and this is a miracle. You’re aligned with the energies of the earth, potentially for the first time in your life. Staying in alignment requires you to stay in your power and not race to be too far in front of the world once again.

The changes are going to be astronomical and you’re one of the few who can help others assimilate. Own your leadership and futuristic methods to guide others in accepting change and transformation. Anchor your energies into the 1891 innovations and let history repeat itself in successful ways.

Be the genius you’re born to be. Let your brilliance shine. This is your time. Believe it. Accept it. Own it.

Collaborative Explorer

Your strengths in appreciating how energy flows between people is one of the necessary components to be successful in the New Era.

When you know yourself fully and have outlined your own goals and objectives, you step into a leadership position within your communities and groups. This decisiveness and direction is required in order to guide others in collaborating with success.

When you lack your own definition, your energy dilutes itself and confuses those around you. You actually add to the problematic situations. This isn’t your intention, so set yourself up for success by putting yourself in the starring role in your own story.

This isn’t selfish. In fact, it’s probably the most generous action you can take right now.

Ruling Warrior

It’s a good thing you like to disrupt the status quo, because that’s your role right now. Your ability to stand up for change is necessary, so you can stand at the head of the class to lead others in following you in new ways. You’re in the right place at the right time. Be the leader you know you are and take charge. Others are looking for someone to follow.

Figure out how to execute the changes you deem necessary. Communicate your vision to your followers. Take right action to see things to fruition. Use your integrity to do the right thing and help them make more of their lives and businesses.

Leaders rise to the front and great leaders create destiny. You can be a destiny creator of the New Era.

Creative Superstar

Your creativity may take a hit in the next few years. However, you’ve already become the creation energy itself. You no longer need cosmic support to be creative. The cosmic energy that helped you be more creative also dissipated your ability to complete and deliver beyond the ideation point.

This is a good news, bad news scenario for you.

Welcome the awakening influences to get things done, make them real and solidify your creativity in the marketplace. This can be a time to shine and influence others to make the most out of their creations. Instead of creating and moving onto the next creation without generating appreciation and value for what you’ve just created, create, appreciate, value and assess.

Then rinse and repeat.

Loving Alchemist

For you Loving Alchemist, you seem to be the least affected by the changing stars. Over time, however, it becomes apparent just how aligned you are with the energetic shifts created through the cosmos.

While others are losing their footing, you keep yours. This enables you to be unwavering in your convictions, so you can help others stand their ground against the fast-moving changing cycles.

Your power is undeniable as each jolt of awakening layers on top of another. As the waves come crashing, you ride them through your magically powerful strengths as long as you go with the flow and don’t fight against the tide.

Be fluid. Be flexible. Be unwavering.

This seems to be oxymoronic, but you understand the energy needed to be both steadfast and nimble.

Bottom Line

This is an unprecedented time in history. One you’ve chosen to take part in, so fully embrace your role in ushering the world into the New Era.

It’s time.

The stars are providing incredible support and power for humanity to choose what’s right in heroic ways. Bravery, innovation and empathy can be the affirming modes when making decisions, connecting with others and taking action.

Let’s make this a rising tide. Together.

It’s a great time to be a soul.

As always, happy soul tidings,

Kim

Relying on Cosmic Love Stars

Why Cosmic Love?

The stars have so much to say about LOVE! Cosmic Love Astrology helps you in your relationships by giving you clarity and objectivity while being deeply personal.

The personal objectivity helps you give your partner the benefit of the doubt, a broader perspective or a different lens in times of complexity. Love Astrology helps explain what makes you and your partner tick, the underlying motivations and how each of you make decisions.

Astrology also tells you what you require for a soulmate love. The astrological lens opens you and your partner’s self-care, self-worth and self-love profiles, so you know how each of you is brave, what you want to master, your future energies and leadership definitions.

It lets you know how each of you will parent, if that’s your choice.

Astrology informs you of your communication style to develop a pathway to grow closer, to deepen your love, to open up to intimacy and to allow vulnerability in order to create a soulmate love.

Who Loves Who?

Looking the fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, have synergy because they like the same things.

These signs are bold, exciting and adventurous.

They want to socialize and be out in the world.

Each of you desires to party, to travel, and to be larger than life.

Fire signs are creative, light-hearted and willing to take risks. They also love to be in the spotlight.

When you look at air, you have Gemini, Libra and Aquarius and each have huge mental facility and intellectual curiosity.

The air signs like to problem solve, tell stories, rationalize, think critically, strategize and see patterns.

The air signs have a meeting of the minds. They love to talk, socialize and experience life fully.

Air signs are quick-witted and humorous.

In the earth signs, there’s Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and each of the earth signs like to get things done.

They’re reliable, loyal and honest. They’re also trustworthy, stable and secure.

The earth signs really enhance each other as working is very important to them. They like to know their position in society. They like to be leaders even though their leadership styles are different. Capricorns like to lead from the front, Virgos like to lead from the middle and Taurus likes to lead from the back.

This positioning details how these signs would ‘lead’ the partner through their cosmic love life.

With the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, you’re interested in home life and family.

Love is central to your life with a deep desire for intimacy. You thrive on feelings, heart-centered subjects and getting into the depths of psychology. You’re also connected to the creative and spiritual worlds.

You’re nurturing and giving, surrounding yourself with your loved ones. You love to dive deeply into the depths and get real. The more honest about feelings, the better.

Love is in the Air

Capricorn looks for long-term commitment and serious intentions in a romantic partner. She loves completely and fully and wants to ensure her mate does as well.

For harmony, Taurus and Virgo love astrology are the most compatible for earthly Capricorns. Taurus’ no nonsense approach to life and Virgo’s practicality appeal to Capricorns.

In a Taurus and Capricorn relationship, each strives for material gain, status of position and appreciation of the luxurious side of life.

With Virgo’s, the common interests with Capricorn are order and reliability.

For excitement, Scorpio’s and Pisces love astrology offer the most stimulation. Scorpio’s intensity, love of wealth and powerful impact draws Capricorn beyond her stoic leanings into a more passionate connection. Although her focus is on work most of the time, Capricorn loves to be appreciated and nurtured, so Pisces is a sign that appeals to her for understanding and compassion.

As for Aquarians, they seek intelligence and connections with others, yet fiercely guard their independence. They desire mates with mental acuity, social leanings and independent yearnings.

The most compatible sign for Aquarians is Gemini, with Libra and Sagittarius falling in close second. Geminis love ideas, insights and provoking conversations and with their distractibility, also appreciate being free to explore things on their own.

The fickleness of Gemini love astrology appeals to Aquarius as it keeps him on his toes. Libra is another good sign for Aquarius as each desire connection and collaboration. Libran’s ability to cooperate and create teams expands Aquarian’s definition of healthy relationship.

Sagittarius’ love of life, adventure and risk-taking tendencies appeal to Aquarius. These free-loving signs are big thinkers and social creatures who are open to explore all facets of life. Each leans into the future by dreaming of a better tomorrow. These signs are cheerful, independent and optimistic. This fiery-air combination is both exciting and fulfilling.

Cosmic Love Challenges

With each of these elements, there’s a downside as there may be too much of that element. With fire, your relationship could be too passion-filled and flare out quickly. The initial attraction burns out like a flash in the pan.

With air, you may be too fickle or flighty without the depths of emotions as everything is in the mind.

In earth, boredom could set in without any relief from work and good-doing.

In the element of water, your emotions could get the better of you, drenching you with emotional depths without lift to give the relationship breath.

It’s also really tough to navigate the squares – the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn; the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces or the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius.

Aries tries to get along with Cancer love astrology and it’s really difficult for the impatient, fiery, robust, risk-taking Aries to handle the soft, sweet, gentle, tender, quiet Cancer.

Capricorn tries to deal with Libra love astrology, “Oh, I want everybody to get along. Let’s make sure we have cooperation, consensus and a team approach.”

“Excuse me,” Capricorn says, “Are you kidding me right now. We’ve made a decision, so let’s go. I want to get to work and get things done.”

Depending on your willingness and the soul level reasons, you can definitely get around your incompatible aspects, if it’s in your best interests to do so.

That’s the key – is it in your best interest at a heart and soul level? Your mind will tell you stories, but your heart will tell you wisdom.

Example of Cosmic Love Gone Awry

One of my clients came to me for a love reading as she was recently affianced and wanted to know how the marriage would be for her.

Unfortunately, this ‘love’ match was fraught with complications, co-dependency and strife for her.

Thankfully, she and I had worked together for a very long time as I could deliver the difficult message to her gently, yet clearly. I gave her all of the information she needed to make the relationship a success.

After much reflection and work with her partner, she realized she didn’t want to give herself over to the relationship as the cost was becoming too high. We walked through the beautiful dissolution of the relationship and she’s happily in a healthy, gorgeous committed relationship now with someone who lifts her in ways she hasn’t ever experienced.

Cosmic Love NOT

When your partner doesn’t believe in an love astrology compatibility chart and you do, you won’t have the conversation, “Hey, your Sun is in this sign, my Sun is in that sign and that’s makes us…”

However, when you get the illumination and self-awareness for you and your partner through the astrological love compatibility lens, you can translate the information in non-star ways. You can say, “You love to stay home and relish the quiet nights in and you know that I really like to go out and socialize. Since both are equally important, can we find time to honor both of our needs?”

When you point out what’s important to each of you and pose it as a question, without getting into starry speak, your partner will be able to hear you and work with you to honor both of your needs. You can use the findings from love astrology to give you the insight and glean the tools you need to be able to navigate your relationship successfully.

Are You Ready for Cosmic Love?

Venus and Mars in your stars give you information about who you’re attracted to from a feminine and masculine perspective. When Venus or Mars in the sky aspect Jupiter, those are positive love times. When the Sun passes either sign, love is in the air for you.

The stars have so much to say to you about love and in this love month, it’s time to celebrate you and your cosmic love.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy, 💕

Kim

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

Graphic titled 'New Era Success Formula' with the equation 'Stars + Signatures + Strategies = Success' over a starry night sky. Definitions: 'Stars' relates to self-awareness, 'Signatures' to embracing your energy, and 'Strategies' to taking confident action.
The New Era Success Formula combines understanding yourself (‘Stars’), aligning with your authentic energy (‘Signatures’), and taking clear, confident action (‘Strategies’) to create a pathway to 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 for success 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.

February Star Power

Monthly Summary

February: Appreciate Your Priorities

Sun signs – Aquarius & Pisces

Seasonal energies: Origin of Purpose with Imbolc on the 1st
Energetic Element: Air
Overall meaning:  New ideas flow, but discernment is required. Some of these ideas are yours and others are merely distractions. People also come in and out of your sphere of influence, so the key is to identify how these people can support you or help you pursue opportunities.

Not many activities are meant to be acted on, they are presented to test your fortitude in holding your best interests at heart.

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 harnessed 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 an 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 Purpose

Wheel graphic titled 'Use the stars + strategy to clear the pathway to your success,' divided into four sections: 'Season of Potential' (November–February), 'Season of Purpose' (February–May), 'Season of Power' (May–August), and 'Season of Prosperity' (August–November), with zodiac symbols surrounding the center.

Seasonal Attributes

Months: February, March, April
Astrological signs: Aquarius, Pisces, Aries
Earthly Element: Air
Apex: Equinox
Northern Gateway: Imbolc
Affinity: Male expression
Impact: Intentional planning

The quickening of the energies ignites the divine spark to create in a purposeful union of possibility and planning. Set your strategy for success and be mindful to create your satisfying success. This is primarily a yang, focused time, but leaning into the yin, strategic view point, wise prospective and intentional outlay of energy boosts your desired growth.

This is primarily a masculine time of strength to use your logic and purposeful planning skills. The season of purpose adores the linear processing, reasoning and scheduling aspects to get everything on the calendar to achieve the goals outlined in the strategy for success from the season of potential.

Magically, relax into the air element to learn to go with the flow, be flexible and stay in balance with the natural contracting and expanding influences of life. Change your mind, shift your perspective and see things fully. You can open your intuitive knowing through observation and perception for your best first steps.

Practically, align your schedule with the seasons and calendar with the cosmos. Infuse your goals and targets into your overall success strategy. Set up your reports – financial, operational and marketing – to determine your capacity and resource needs. Begin to attract the right people into your world.

Seasonal Flow of Purpose

The Season of Potential becomes thoughtful and intentional as it moves into the Season of Purpose, where you put pen to paper, details to strategy and goals to ideas. Your yang skills are called for as you bring the inspiring thoughts and ideas into being. Making it real is your mantra. The pushing wheel of energy runs thin as you take out the magic and fill everything with the practical.

Using the Season of Purpose for Strategy and Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

Season of Purpose relies on the air element for planning and defining your initial success strategy. The air element speaks to your mind to foster a left-brain response to the dreamy aspect of establishing your vision for the year. Determining goals, setting targets and outlining objectives is an excellent response to this season. Setting your calendar for collaborations is a requirement to fully grow your business.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Purpose

Wise Strategist – This is your favorite season. Let your natural gifts, talents and skills come to the fore. Taking your success strategy and setting all the goals, targets, objectives and schedules comes naturally to you. Take the lead to convey the high-level pillars and milestones to your team. Inspire others to help you.

Intuitive Visionary – You’re challenged to stay on track and be detail-oriented. You have much more success thinking in big picture terms. Yet, you actually can fold the details into your overall success strategy when you stay in touch with WHY you’re dealing with those pesky particulars. Remembering your why is the key.

Collaborative ExplorerMake a list of your key resources, networking buddies, collaborators, prospects, clients and alumni to identify your key opportunities and required support. Set up processes and scripts for outreach. Reach out to a handful of people every week. Keep on a regular schedule and remember to ask for the support and opportunities you desire.

Ruling Warrior – You love this season as everyone becomes goal-oriented and you can easily relate to them. You’ve set it all up to make this your best year ever. Yet, you need support to help you achieve them without overwork, exhaustion and stress. Take the time to actually communicate your goals, targets and objectives to others to get them on board.

Creative Superstar – This is your worst season when you focus on the planning aspects of it, but this season, with its airy flow, can be an excellent one when you pay attention to the creation aspects of it. Use the movement and flow to create a living vision board to bring your goals into fruition.

Loving Alchemist – Energize your success strategy with your powerful passions and deep desires. Add fuel when marking your calendar for events, selecting people to support you or carving out time to seek opportunities. Aligning your heart and soul with your mindful intentions provides the foundation to make this year the one you truly love.

Case Study for Purpose
Before

A landscape designer, who is a Collaborative Explorer, was working for a company that was growing, but not demonstrating solid leadership. He was frustrated, making too little money and working too many hours. He had responsibility without authority.

He wanted to start his own company, but due to his experiences in the field, he didn’t want to employ anyone.

He basically wanted to get relief without actually thinking about how starting a company would affect him and his family.

He had no clear direction other than getting out of his current situation. He actually quit his job, without any opportunities lined up, at the worst possible time in the season.

After

First, I walked into his stars and conveyed his life purpose that 100% involved leadership. There was no getting around it, his soul wanted him to be a leader.

Second, we removed his inability to wear his power through healing facilitation, magical clearing and daily energetic ‘wearing his power pants’ in order to align his energy with his life purpose.

Third, we defined his purposeful strategic direction and gave him all of the tools to become a successful entrepreneur.

Fourth, because of his hesitancy to become a leader, we set up a business model that could delay this possibility as long as it took to remove his block.

Fifth, we removed his leadership block(s) to clear his pathway for success.

Bottom line: He blew away his targets in the 1st year by realizing $250,000 and in 2 years, he increased his revenues by 567%.

Big star shift meanings

February 4 – Venus is bold and sassy in Aries

Detail: Venus enters Aries

Venus stays a lot longer in Aries this year than usual. Typically, Venus spends about 4 or 5 weeks, but this season Venus takes her time in Aries due to her retrograde period. Venus in Aries happens from February 4 through March 27 and then again from April 30 – June 6. 

Venus is bold, sassy and daring in Aries, where she wants everything right now. She’s looking for fresh, new and adventurous. She’s impatient and only wants to focus on the future. There’s no looking back with Venus here, so she marches forward – without thought of the consequences. 

Venus is also impulsive and indulgent where she doesn’t worry that she can or can’t afford something. She buys it anyway. Venus wants you to embrace your value, regardless of what anyone else thinks or feels. Venus is more of herself in Aries and you can be too. 

February 4 – Your Mind Gets a Boost of Energy

Detail: Jupiter stations direct in Gemini at 11°

You get a boost of mental energy that pushes you to pursue everything that comes into your mind. Ideas, solutions and conversations abound.

Captain distraction is back.

This is a preview of how you’re going to react when Uranus moves into Gemini on July 7th. In this case, Jupiter is the harbinger of what’s to come. While the personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars move through their own retrograde period from November 2024 – April 2025, you get to play with this Jupiter in Gemini energy to become accustomed to it while other stars are quiet and supportive.

February 7 – Dreamy Imaginings in Astrology of  February with Neptune

Detail: Pisces Neptune conjunct Collective Soul Destiny @ 28°

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, self love and seeking healing remedies is the perfect way to leverage this cosmic configuration

February 23 – Feeling Trapped and Victimized

Detail: Mars stations direct at 17° Cancer

In the realm of the earth, Mars retrograde from Leo to Cancer in the last month has wreaked havoc as expressed with the fires in LA. Literally, the fire from Leo moves into the home of Cancer to blaze a path that makes you step boldly and bravely into a brand-new future.

Mars isn’t soft or sweet. He’s the God of War. When he’s threatened, he asks, “Will you be the hunter or the prey?” Only when you become the hunter will he step away from accidents, disasters, weather events such as infernos.

What does Mars want you to know about being brave?

From a cosmic perspective, Mars has been driving you crazy with his pulling back of forward motion. He’s aggravated family, finances and going with the flow since January 6th and prior to that, he frustrated you by putting obstacles in front of you that prevent you from showing up for yourself and with others, especially in the public sphere.

Now, he’s finished with his antics and gets back on track, but he detests being in the sign of Cancer. 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.

From now until April 18th, Mars marinates in the syrupy family soup with its past history and stories about your early years. You have the opportunity to explore the depths of cosmic love with your loved ones, yet it depends on your patience and tolerance for hearing about your cute and embarrassing antics while growing up.

February 24- 28: Forward Motion

Detail: All planets are stationed direct

Every planet in the sky is moving faster than the Earth right now, but it’s only a glimmer of 4 days. Typically, this forward-moving period is much longer – up to a few months. For this quick business week, things can come together for you before Venus stations retrograde on March 1st.

Weekly Success Maps

Week 1: February 1 – 9

The big news this week is Venus moving into Aries, while Jupiter stations direct and Neptune blends with the collective soul destiny. Here’s what I’ve written about Venus in Aries in the past, “This feminine goddess moves into a masculine sign filled with passion, adventure and fiery energy. She’s activated beyond her typical boundaries, so can be impatient, aggressive or ambitious in Aries. She’s also a bold badass, like a Warrior Princess. I call Venus Brave Heart when she’s in Aries.”

There’s a significant number of star angles this week, specifically 8, not counting the 3 major star shifts mentioned above. With all of this cosmic activity, the stars conspire to shock your mind and open your heart.

Be loyal to yourself and others.

Commit to being the best version of you – striving for satisfaction as well as success.

The bottom line is for you to show up for yourself in ways that bring you joy, cosmic love and abundance.

Week 2: February 10 – 16

Showing appreciation to those who’ve helped you or valued you in some way keeps you on track. When you show others how much you appreciate them, you celebrate your life and how you’ve created positive and uplifting relationships.

Whispering sweet nothings to others, writing gratitude notes and giving gifts lift your abundance energy, especially when you show self love and appreciation for yourself too.

Surprising and exciting news makes you come alive. Embrace it even when it knocks you off center. This new happening is about stretching you for future growth.

If you want more support for the entire year, check out the Soul-driven success series. This series teaches you to let your soul lead, so you create more ease, joy and abundance.

Week 3: February 16 – 23

This is a great week to turn things around, so reaching out to former clients and rekindling connections with those you’ve lost touch with are perfect steps to take this week. With the Sun moving into Pisces, connection is the center of the energy for the next month.

Be discerning with new opportunities as some of these are too good to be true. Exercise caution and take calculated risks. Taking a huge risk isn’t good for you, but big dreams and small steps is the best way forward for you.

Week 4: February 24 – 28

This is a fortunate week, filled with forward movement and conclusive actions. New ways of looking at problems and situations gives you a fresh perspective on how to resolve them.

Getting serious and committing to yourself and others creates success for you.

Taking care of business, making connections and bringing things to their final conclusion are positive for you right now.

New Moon: Plunge into Generosity

Details: February 27 @ 7:46 pm ET New Moon with Sun & Moon in Pisces at 9°

Creative and generous Pisces holds the space for you to stretch into your true purpose by helping you embody your hidden gifts without being inhibited by your mind’s negative self-talk. This is the time for dreaming, imagining and envisioning.

Be generous with yourself and others and watch as things open up for you in new and unexpected ways.

Say YES to deep connections that feel positive for you. Develop serious partnerships during this New Moon. Take advantage of the business positivity this week by inviting, offering and selling. Lean into the magical tools of the month to amplify your dreams, intentions and actions.

Magical tools

Divination Tool for Your Mind

Oracle cards can help you move your mind from running amuck to slowing down, so you can begin to develop your intuition to communicate with your soul.

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.

Earthly Tools for Your Heart

The earthly kingdoms help you shift your vibration through their power and move your energy from your mind into your heart. The animal kingdom help you get things done, the crystals help you realize your intentions by adding their energy to yours

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 their power into focus and ponder the animal meaning. When you’re facing issues, the animal energy can help navigate through or around them.

For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. The crystal can be activated through your intentional goals or your dreams or wishes. The crystal holds this intention for you for the entire month. Crystals can also support your ability to release blocks so you can clear your pathway. When you want to align with your strategy for success and this month’s stone helps you do that.

Flower essences are gentle, yet incredibly powerful to help your emotional body. They smooth out thoughts and emotions as they help you align with your soul. I adore flower essences because they represent their mature growth in nature to give you their healing properties without having to leave your home or office.

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

Monthly Oracle Card: #9 – Embody

Embody: Deepen trust in yourself

Kim Woods Intuition Oracle Card with the title 'Embody' featuring a circular mandala design in gold and purple, surrounding an image of a person standing in a yoga pose in a grassy field, with the text 'Live your full potential. Walk your own path.' below.

When you pick the embody card that symbolizes you living to your full potential by walking your own path.

The message of this card is to “actively live your full potential and walk in wholeness as a spiritual human being.”

Seek to express your potential by taking action to pursue your true life purpose.

Be your potential.

Come out into the world with your unique gifts. Integrate your spiritual nature in practical ways and express magic by living it on a daily basis.

The number 9 of the cards represents the wholeness of cycles, when one cycle completes and another begins. The 9 also represents taking internal attributes and bringing them out into the world. This number asks you to explore, think big and delve into another new expression of yourself and the world.

Spirit Animal: Rhinoceros

A solitary white rhinoceros standing on a white background, facing forward, showcasing its strong and sturdy build with a prominent horn.

Rhinoceros is great for abundance and blessings. Most spiritual meaning of rhinoceros focuses on the strength of this animal and while this is true, rhinoceros is an abundant being. This animal helps you appreciate the beauty and bounty around you that you may either take for granted or not be observing.

This animal is the closest to the meaning of ‘of course’ that allows you to be chill and comfortable with the universe supporting you while you stay in complete faith that all is well.

Pressing further, rhinoceros moves you to be able to love your self and believe fully in yourself and the universal powers having your best interests at heart.

Living in full appreciation is possible when you call on rhinoceros.

Crystal: Petalite

Two raw petalite crystals, clear petalite crystal on the left and a smaller purple petalite crystal on the right.

Petalite asks something from you as she supports you to your spiritual alignment. Petalite opens you to the connection with the divine and can communicate with angels, guides and celestial beings, while deepening your attachment to the earthly magical energies.

She also helps you meditate for developing your intuition and is a strong healer of ancestral blocks. Petalite is a powerhouse, so you want to ensure you’re ready to receive her medicine.

You can use Petalite when journaling, meditating, healing and connecting to your higher self. You can also rely on Petalite to increase your ability to connect with the earthly kingdoms of animals, plants and crystals.

Flower Essence: Red Chestnut

Red chestnut blossoms in full bloom on a tree branch, with vibrant green leaves and a soft blurred background.

Red Chestnut moves you from co-dependence to autonomy. At first glance, you may be thinking, “I’m not co-dependent, so this flower essence won’t help me.” Let’s look more closely, whenever you’re more concerned for another person more than they’re concerned for themselves. Every coach or consultant can fall into this situation.

I’ve always told my consultants, “You can’t care more than the client.” This is true. Just because you’re the coach, guide or mentor, the other person has to be more invested into their growth, healing or transformation more than you.

Imbalances are created when the coach, consultant or service provider is more invested than the client. This also holds true for CEOs or leaders for their people or team members.

On the personal side, this can be true for parents, partners, relatives or friends. Think about the times you’ve found yourself saying, “If only he or she does x,y,z, then they’ll be fine.” When you are more concerned, invested or energetically involved more than the other person, reach for red chestnut.

Practical Tips for Right Action

Collaborative Explorers are particularly susceptible to the over-care of others, so red chestnut flower essence is perfect for them to let go and concentrate on themselves. I feel that everyone can benefit from this flower essence. Creative Superstars also benefit due to their empathic capabilities. When you feel other’s illness, negative or low energy, you can use the support of red chestnut.

When you take red chestnut, you move from ____ to ______. Let’s look at the following table:

Red Chestnut Shifts
FromTo
Imbalance with the connection for anotherBalanced respect in relationships
Over-concern for safety of anotherPractical concern, not overly attached
Worry about problems of othersEmpathize without being swept up
Feel symptoms of illness in othersSense without taking on the energy
Too connected to othersStand in your own authority
Tell children/grandchildren to be carefulHave faith in the safety of others
Burden others with your worrySpend energy on wellbeing

Self Love Affirmations to accompany this flower essence are, “I concentrate on myself,” “I am the center of my life,” and “I am me and you are you.”

Balance is a flow – on one side, fill yourself and on the other side – embrace your leadership role.

Ruling Warrior

Ask for advice from those you trust and then follow it as long as it makes sense for you and your soul mission. Take command without leading from the front.

When you do, you can expand your abundance.

Creative Superstar

Be audacious. This month is for you to set wild and outlandish intentions, specifically on the New Moon on the 27th. For the entire month, you can accept financial wins when you show up for yourself. Get visible. Invite others into your world and make offers to sell your creations.

Loving Alchemist

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.

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,

January 2025 Astrology Forecast: How to Be Truly You to Create Huge Opportunity

Welcome to Your Star-Powered Monthly Planner

Your typical monthly planner is missing a key ingredient and that’s magic – the magical powers of the stars, moon magic, your energies and the earthly seasonal elements. You’re made of soil and stars, so aligning with these influences improves your chances of success.

You’re not required to know a single thing about astrology, moon magic, or earthly energies, yet clearing your mind and opening your heart to this level of support helps you develop your own intuitive skills.

Letting your mind accept the opportunities from the cosmos and the earth, while marking key dates and noting how your own calendar lines up with these events, helps you avoid pitfalls and take advantage of these positive forces.

Watch the video on Youtube on how to unpack this monthly planner.

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

Sun signs – Capricorn & Aquarius

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 harnessed 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 an 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 energy, reflective time, however, using your yang energy 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 and intuitive development 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 energy power of strategy and the yang energy 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 in Aquarius, you experienced pressure to free yourself from others’ 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 learn to 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, wondering how to accept yourself, 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. Try to remember a time when creativity helped you find a solution.

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 re-enters 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 destiny of the soul 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 destiny of souls in January astrology and stays there until July 26, 2026. With the new Piscesdestiny of the soul 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 relationships 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.

It’s better to learn now than to procrastinate.

If you want support for the year, check out the Soul-driven success series. It gives you the support you need to develop your intuition to let your soul lead.

Week 3: January 13 – 19

What uplifting energy this week! Good luck, success and changes to clear your pathway reign this week. Hooray.

After last week, this is such a welcome feeling. There can be problems in unstable relationships, otherwise you are good to go right now.

Think clear thoughts, connect with like-minded people and take right action based on your priorities.  It’s a good week for sales, negotiations and meeting new people. If you have a few moments for creative planning, take a peek at your strategy to ensure you’re going in the right direction.

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.

This is the perfect time to make changes and pursue creating beginnings because they will happen quickly and relatively smoothly.

When you gather your energy for yourself, you experience good luck and excellent sales when you remember its relational and not transactional. Celebrate yourself at the end of the week by getting social and fun.

Week 5: January 27 – 31st

Grand ideas, creative planning and epiphanies bring opportunities this week. Huge growth and serious exploits to envision your future begins now. Be imaginative and take risks.

Take steps to clear your success pathway. It’s time to take good care of yourself without being concerned with others.

Moon Magic

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

  1. The New Moon is for setting your intuitive development  strategy.
  2. From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
  3.  The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
  4. From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

You can get everything Moon magic when you subscribe to Your Star Path to Success podcasts. We do Full and New Moon rituals every month.

Full Moon: Ch-Ch-Changes

Details: January 13 @ 5:27 pm ET with Sun in Capricorn & Moon in Cancer at 23°

Uranus stimulates the Moon and supports the Sun while these two oppose each other to test your balance between your inner life and outer world. How do you show up for yourself while also showing up in the world to deliver your gifts and talents? Take a leap of faith and step into your future. This is a time of opportunity and solution. Get creative. It’s your time.

New Moon: Big Opportunity

Details: January 28 @ 7:37 am ET with Sun & Moon in Aquarius at 9°

This New Moon brings huge support for the new era which involves inclusion, freedom and independence. The stars are very supportive right now. Jupiter is the star of opportunity and the Sun and Moon favor Jupiter. It’s time to get creative and imagine your best future. Create the life of your dreams.

Magical tools

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 Astrology 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.

The Gorse plant 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 the gorse plant. 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 creative  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 intuitive development 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 astrology 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 astrology 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!

This is primarily a yin energy, 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 divine 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 (earthly) realms and the unknown (ether) realms.

The key to this season is to recognize that both the yin energy power of strategy and the yang power of direction create your best strategic direction and  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 direction 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.

To prepare for the wakeup call in March 2025, claim your spot in my 2025 forecast workshop at the beginning of the month. Register here (as always, the replay is available).

Now through December 15: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius

Mercury asks you to shift your perspective about your current ideals and beliefs. This isn’t actually the time to engage and debate with others, but it is the time to review your position.

You’re not actually right and Mercury wants to show you how.

One of my favorite questions is, “How am I wrong?” This is an excellent time to ask this question and then sit back and watch Mercury show you.

You’ve forgotten something or someone you deem small that can really help you.

Pause. Reflect. Let go.

See who or what presents and then ponder how your current situation can be improved with this additional support.

December 6: Mars retrograde Leo 6° – Cancer 17° through February 23, 2025

Mars adores spending time in Leo and would have loved continuing his path in this sign, but he doesn’t get the chance yet.

He has to move backward, 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.

From December 6 – January 6, Mars moves from 6° – 0° in Leo and then enters Cancer again, where he stays until April 18.

For 3 ½ months, Mars marinates in the 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.

December 7: Neptune Retrograde since @ Pisces 29 – 27°

When Neptune stations retrograde at the edge of Pisces 29.55° to be exact. Wow, this is a wake-up call.

The idealism, overly optimistic and escapist behaviors get a jolt back into reality. Any overextension snaps back so you can see how your actions create your circumstances.

Absolutely do not follow or buy from anyone who says they have all of the answers based on easy 1-2-3, ‘one size fits all’ or ‘it worked for me’ solutions. These people are charlatans preying on your gullibility or desperation.

With Neptune retrograde, you can see more clearly, but this may make you react by making a big change.

This isn’t the time for change. It’s the time for reflection and consideration. It’s the time for using your intuition and internal compass to be your guide. It’s the time for compassion and healing.

This period prepares you for the massive wakeup call in March 2025.

December 21: Solstice with Sun ingress Capricorn

The solstice marks the apex of potential to bring your big dreams into reality through hard work and effort.

It’s a buzz kill, but it’s an important energy to create the future you desire.

When you only participate in dreams and intentions, it’s fun and satisfying to your mind.

These dopamine hits, however, don’t actually help you realize your dreams. Discipline, precision and integrity are required to create your success.

As the Sun enters Capricorn, you have the opportunity to buckle down after the wild energy of Sagittarius.

With the Moon and Saturn opposing each other, you feel the need to get serious. Jupiter provides a great lift to this otherwise suppressed influence.

Other stars also give you the push to be original, get innovative and connect with those who lift you up, instead of put you down.

If you’re looking for a slower pace, this timing meets your wishes. If you adore the pace you’ve experienced over the last month, you can continue, yet you may not find as many willing people to join you on your adventures.

December 24: Gemini Jupiter Square Pisces Saturn @ 14°

From August 2024 through June 2025, Jupiter and Saturn confront each other and ask you, “What have you been doing since December 21, 2020 when we brought the New Era into your daily life?”

This Jupiter-Saturn cycle began with its connection at 0° Aquarius on December 21, 2020 opening the New Era portal for the future way of living and leading.

This New Era signals the time for the divine feminine to equally position itself with the divine masculine.

This is new and unfamiliar and you’ve spent the last few years trying to figure it out along with everyone else.

Leadership, sales and money work differently now and it’s hard to determine how to connect the dots to make it work for you.

Last year in June of 2023, Jupiter stimulated Saturn’s strengths to create sustainable growth. Did you plant seeds and help them germinate? Did you take advantage of this opportunity-creation energy to construct the pillars for your success?

Now, with Jupiter confronting Saturn for the next 7 months, you’re asked to be brave enough to note anything unstable in your life and business, then to get rid it.

Where ever you have shaky ground, bad habits or overextension, you’ll reach a breaking point.

This initially feels uncertain and you’ll do anything to deny the truth of it. But when you buckle down and wrangle with your inner conflict, you’ll come to terms with the truth Jupiter and Saturn have laid at your feet.

When you shift your focus to withdraw from unhealthy routines, people and situations, you’ll fortify your foundation.

This isn’t going to be easy or simple, but it’s worth it.

Your continued success depends on it.

Read more about this important configuration right here “Prioritize Your Grand Vision”.

December 29: Chiron retrograde since July 26 @ Aries 23 – 19°

Once again, you have the opportunity for great healing. You observe old wounds and release your ties to them. You reevaluate your relationship with yourself and others in order to understand your past to give way to your future.

In Aries, Chiron helps you see how your unique gifts fit into the world.

Better yet, he helps you realize your unique gifts stand out and shows you how to bring them into the world – if you’re brave enough.

Mercury retrograde in April gave you insights into how Chiron can help you know. Did you take note? Think back to remember what was happening for you in April.

Ask Chiron to help heal you now.

December 30: Black Moon Sun & Moon in Capricorn @ 9°

Lasting change becomes the norm. This New Moon, also at the 9th degree just like the first New Moon in December, speaks to the culmination of your intentions.

With the fire of Sagittarius until the 21st and the influx of earthly Capricorn, you have the ability to dream big, fuel your intentions with energy and create constructs to begin and set your strategy for 2025.

Star Power

Week 1: December 1 – 8 The stars have a lot to say this week with lots of activity and a few major star events thrown in for good measure.

With the month starting off with the first New Moon beginnings, Mars retrograde and Neptune moving direct, mark your calendar to position yourself positively.

The opening salvo has you stepping out of your normal routines to embrace new ideas, solutions and creative pursuits. There may be a new person or situation sprinkled into the mix too.

The expansive start to the week becomes complicated, limiting and disruptive to your goals.

Set aside time to review your style and refresh your image while claiming your true power.

Transformation comes with confusing thoughts, unsettled feelings and inability to know which strategic direction to go in as this is new territory.

Relationships are front and center once again, so knowing exactly what you want, who can help you and who isn’t helpful is an excellent way to ensure you’re creating the future you desire.

Taking a trip down memory lane to show appreciation and gratitude is your best bet to get through the week. Then, make that list of helpful and not helpful people and circumstances.

When it’s time to trim down, this list will come in handy.

Week 2: December 9 – 15 This week feels much less chaotic than the first week of the month, yet holds big energies that push you to make changes based on your innovative solutions and original creations. 

Yet, use caution when saying YES to change. Big changes aren’t always required. Even a few degrees of change can set a trajectory to big results in the future.

The stars conspire to lift you up and inspire you to pursue your originality and brilliance by providing fun social engagements and new love interests.

Express appreciation for your conquests in life and business.

It’s a great time to give gifts to show your gratitude.

Week 3: December 16 – 22 Take it slow this week and delve into your own power to explore the fighter within. 

Assert yourself for self-care and self-love as this is a pathway to owning your self-worth. You can find the genesis of your power by using the solstice energy and the martial internal exploration.

Delegate to those around you, including yourself, to align with your best next steps.

Remember you set the tone of what you expect of yourself and others.

Make sure you align your actions with your visions. Getting ready for the holidays?

This week is a great one to get those last-minute gifts. Keeping it intimate and simple is your best bet.

Week 4: December 23 – 30 The big star event goes back to December 2020 and continues until 2040, with the first confronting influence pressing you to prioritize yourself and your grand vision. 

Beginning in August, this squaring off creates pressure to make sure you don’t forget what you truly desire. Think of it like your soul is sitting on your shoulder making sure you put your potential front and center.

Revisit what came up for you on November 18th and during the first week of December. This isn’t a far-reaching recollection, so hopefully you can remember.

These insights are super informative to how you can attain your big dreams.

Adding in your desire to break free from restraints puts you in a great position to serving your unique path. Reconcile the actions you actually take versus the ones you think you should take.

Serve you, not somebody else.

Moon Magic

All of the phases of the Moon help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

  1. The New Moon beginnings is for setting your strategy.
  2. From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
  3. The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
  4. From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

New Moon: Embrace Your Leadership

Details: New Moon with Sun & Moon in Sagittarius at 9°December 1st @ 1:21 am ET

Your leadership style is up for review. Are you leading yourself or are you investing yourself in the right leader for you? Leadership is the key during this New Moon with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. Who is your guru? Does this person or group of persons have your best interest at heart or are you following them blindly?

Have you given your voice and power over to the right influences?

This is the time to step out of your comfort zone and ask yourself questions that have to do with how you value yourself.

Do you connect with those who are like-minded?

Are you showing up as YOU or are you foregoing parts of yourself to fit into a mold? If so, is this mold shaping your future or is it reinstating your past?

This month is filled with possibility to bring about the future you want to create. What are you creating with your choices, priorities and daily routines?

Each and every day you wake up and you begin the future creation process with the first awakened breath of the day.

Do you wake up with joy or with obligation?

Are you refreshed and excited or are you just marking time until you can go to bed again?

Sagittarius is the sign for discovery, different experiences and seeking adventure and possibility.

On this New Moon, you set the intentions of what you want to create in your life. But, do you back up your intentions with actions?

In the collective, the soul karma for divine feminine empowerment is stimulated to bring equity and resolution.

Yet, the divine masculine aggressive strength is harmonized and may override the potential for rebalancing the energies. How each person leads their lives creates the change the world seeks.

For more information about how the 10-month energy can set you up for success in 2025, read the full Choose Important Priorities to Achieve your Grand Vision article here.

Full Moon: Change is Here

Details: Full Moon with Sun in Sagittarius & Moon in Gemini at 23° on December 15th @ 4:02 am ET

Mars is tracking with the collective soul karma and destiny. The last few weeks have been an active review of how each person shows up in their life, either choosing to lead it or succumb to other’s influence.

This Full Moon is about change. With the 23° of the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Gemini.

How are your thoughts backed up by your actions?

Are you creating what you desire or are you giving your power away?

This becomes obvious when you look at where you started the year versus where you are now. In April and May, I talked about making choices that put you on the path you want to set for your future.

I said, “You’ll know on November 3rd whether you’re on track or not.”

Talk about 10 or 12-degree changes versus wholesale ones.

You’ve entered the New Era in earnest and it’s time to determine how to live and lead during these times.

New Moon: Lasting Change Becomes the Norm

Details: Black Moon with Sun & Moon in Capricorn at 9° on December 30th @ 5:27 pm ET

This New Moon, also at the 9th degree just like the first New Moon in December, speaks to the culmination of your intentions.

With the fire of Sagittarius until the 21st and the influx of earthly Capricorn, you have the ability to dream big, fuel your intentions with energy and create constructs to begin the process of achieving your goals.

There are 3 sharpened star points that push you into your power to align with your soul mission.

It’s becoming more and more difficult to avoid what your soul agreed to when you were born.

Pressure to break free and liberate yourself from others’ expectations is key to you shining your brilliance and embodying your full potential.

Magic Tools

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 Cards: #25 Brilliance

A card from Kim Woods' Intuition Oracle Deck titled "Brilliant," featuring an intricate mandala design and the text, "Shine your brilliance into the world."

Shining your brilliance requires you to show up completely without reservation.

Reservations typically include hiding your gifts, doubting your worth or giving away your power. Showing up brilliantly entails accepting exactly who you are without reservation.

Most of my clients and those engaged with my offerings have the issue of visibility. Like attracts like and this has been one of my biggest obstacles in standing unwaveringly in my power and brilliance.

My remedies work and here are a few for you:

Let your mind ponder the words; magnificent, luminous and genius. Let your thoughts savor their meanings, roll them around in your mouth and say them to yourself repeatedly.

Whisper and speak each word throughout the day and see how they open your mind to your brilliance.

Magically, the Sun loves to shine brightly and wants to help you through its radiance. Discover what sign the Sun is travelling through right now (Hint: Sagittarius and Capricorn in December). Embrace the meaning of each sign and lean into the fire of Sagittarius and the earthly actions of Capricorn.

Do a ritual or celebration during the solstice (my Podcast always has rituals and celebrations for you to follow.) Subscribe so you get rituals on your favorite player.

Practically, observe how you’re showing up in your brilliance and how you’re holding yourself back. Give yourself permission to shine brilliantly by coming out of hiding in real and practical ways. Make a list of at least 7 ways to shine and 7 ways to change your habits of hiding.

Crystal: Kyanite

Polished blue kyanite gemstone with a glossy surface.

Kyanite aligns your mind, heart and will to help you live your soul mission.

This stone soothes you by quieting your thoughts to relieve doubt. You may also clear limiting beliefs. Kyanite also opens your heart to deepen your appreciation for the people and circumstances in your life.

This is a highly spiritual stone and is often combined with other crystals such as ruby or calcite. In its purest form, the most available colors are blue, green and black.

Blue – This is the most common color of Kyanite. This crystal supports your communication and mental faculties. Choose a blue Kyanite crystal when your mind distracts you from your truth.

Green – Relating to your heart, green Kyanite brings balance to your divine feminine desires and divine masculine strengths. This centering energy lifts your spirits and assists in connecting you to your intuition.

Black – Aids in removing ancestral blocks and anchors your highest potential. This stone also provides protection when enhancing your psychic skills.

Unless tumbled, this stone is too fragile to carry in your purse or pocket, so keep a Kyanite crystal on your desk, fireplace mantle or night stand. When treated correctly, you can wear Kyanite in jewelry form.

Kyanite was the crystal for November 2019 and January 2022.

Spirit Animal: Snake

Vibrant blue snake coiled on a branch, flicking its tongue with a blurred green background.

Snake continues to bring its transformative and healing energies

The snake spirit animal continues to bring its transformative and healing energies that began in November where you’ve had the opportunity to realize your dreams through your intentions and this month you bring them into form through right action.

Snake transmutes and marks significant change in your life. With snake power, you’re an alchemist seeking wholeness. You’re a healer, facilitating your own healing to remove blacks and create space by letting go of misaligned habits, energies and external input.

The snake spirit animal also loves the ancient rituals, customs and practices, allowing you to connect to them to ease your burdens and amplify your potential.

With snake, you heighten your sensitivity to the energies carried by people and circumstances to prompt your positive outlook.

Call on snake when you need to shred your identity, desire healing or want to increase your energy and natural vitality.

Combining snake energy with hornbeam is an excellent combination to accelerate you into your future.

Snake is the Chinese New Year animal for 2025, so this is a peek into next year’s magical support.

Flower Essence: Hornbeam

Close-up of hornbeam leaves and small yellowish flowers in bright sunlight.

Hornbeam is the flower essence of 2024, so it’s no coincidence you’re closing the year this flower’s support.

Hornbeam connects to your soul potential while removing the perception of overwork or being overextended. Your soul wants you to relieve your mental fatigue and reinstate your natural vitality.

When you slip into a rut, your mind finds ways to stimulate itself. Oftentimes, these distractions don’t serve you. Actually, most times, your mind finds ways to hold you back by pursuing other’s success methods, comparing and contrasting to stimulate feelings of FOMO (fear of missing out). Your mind pushes you into a spiral that can create confusion and doubt.

With the hornbeam flower essence, you can move your mind to restore it into mindfulness, instead of pursuing useless distractions.

You move from a mental fatigue into spontaneous thoughts that lead to synchronous connections. You seek opportunities that align with your soul potential and you attract support from people who have your best interests at heart.

Last month, thoughts became things and this month, you have the chance to create the future you truly desire. The key is to clear your mind and let your soul lead.

Hornbeam soothes your mind to open it to possibilities, striving to ask the right questions instead of finding contorting yourself to fit into easy answers.

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

Rely on your instincts by following through on their directives. Tapping into your internal compass gives you strength to step into courage.

2025 is going to require you to be bold and brave in new ways you don’t particularly like.

Being honest with yourself, with your heart and with your soul is your best approach. Your mind isn’t helpful and doesn’t have the capacity you need for your continued growth.

Intuitive Visionary

Your intuition is your guide. Let it speak for you and through you. This isn’t a call to become a channel. It’s a call to allow your brilliance to be apparent, front-facing and in front of your mind with its perceptions and opinions.

Ignore your mind in favor of your intuition right now.

Having faith in your intuition is a gift you hold. Tap into this gift without question.

Collaborative Explorer

Explore your edges. Do you know where they begin and end?

Allowing yourself to reach for growth in different and new ways puts the explorer into focus. You rely heavily on the collaborative aspects, but now it’s time to fully flex your exploring ways. 2025 pushes you to pursue your fiery aspects.

Get ready by touching base with them now.

Ruling Warrior

Listen to your heart, not your head. I recognize how difficult this is for you unless you’ve had tons of practice. Now’s the time to perfect this approach.

Your heart has wisdom you’re not using and being the expert in sustainable ways requires your heart and soul.

The mind was never supposed to be the driver for strategy or leading.

Your heart’s been patient long enough.

Creative Superstar

Make an actual plan for 2025, not the idea of a plan or an outline of one.

An actual plan with a strategy based on intentions, themes and milestones. Build in goals, targets and dates.

Fill in details based on you, your desires and your energy. 2025 is going to blast into you, so being prepared is imperative.

Get support for your strategic direction. Doing this the right way matters.

Loving Alchemist

Set your course for 2025 as this year has set you up perfectly.

To build on your success from 2024, review what worked really well and filled you up.

Then take those things away that didn’t fuel you, either your energy or your bank account.

Be objective. 2025 is going to burn through you, so preparing now lines you up for your best trajectory.

Bottom Line

December is a great month to create the future and you have the choice, as you always do, to either have a positive creation or a negative one. When you set intentions, the key is to back them up with actions. Take action this month to dive deeply into what truly matters to you personally and professionally.

Until next time, happy soul tidings!

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Kim written in cursive with a heart accent at the top left of the K.

November 2024: Are You Ready for Your Cosmic Forecast?

Welcome to Your Culminated Dreams

Monthly Summary

November: The Culmination
Sun signs:  Scorpio & Sagittarius
Seasonal energies: Origin of Potential with Samhain on the 1st
Energetic Element: Earth/ether

Overall meaning: Whatever you focus on, becomes real this month. The beginning of the month is elusive, lacking clarity at every level. The energy gathers through the month and your focus becomes obvious in the world. It’s a powerful trajectory. You are launched. Have you been swept along someone else’s path or are you on your own? This is a slingshot of power creating more of what you ‘want’, i.e.; where your focus is – worry, stress and lack or joy, power and abundance.

It’s the Wiccan New Year and it’s not an intentional one, it’s a digestive one. Are you demonstrating the ability to integrate, digest, accumulate? Or are you out of alignment with your soul mission? It’s completely apparent and underscores the entirety of 2024.

Watch the video on YouTube on how to unpack this monthly guide.

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.  Read the new article on “How to Use Seasonal Energies to Increase Your Success”.

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

  • 11/3 Cancer Mars opposite Capricorn Pluto @ 29°

  • 11/19 Pluto Aquarius 20 years
  • 11/25 – 12/15 Mercury retrograde

Empowering Action with Mars Opposite Pluto

Cancer Mars opposite Capricorn Pluto November 3 @ 29°

There are opposing forces at play, where on the one hand, you have incredible tenacity with a propulsion for winning to ultimately achieve the goal you’ve always desired. One the other hand, you want to play, have fun and socialize with abandon. Frivolity overcomes the hard knocks of power grabs and emotional wrangling for control or responsibility wins out with a lighter touch and self-indulgence.

From November 2018 – May 2020, you’ve felt the impact of your work-life balance in ways that you may not have been cognizant of prior to this time. This pressure hasn’t gone away in the last few years.

Right now, your work life balance is teetering on the edge. Which will you choose – love and family or work and success? You can have both if you figure out your own tempo and design your schedule to accommodate it. Get creative. This is your time to finally come to terms with what’s really important to you and to set up your life to reflect your terms.

Make Your Dreams Real with Saturn Direct until Next Spring

Saturn direct on November 15 @ Pisces 12

Saturn churns once again, entering into your life forcing you to assess how you’ve reprioritized your inner life. If you’ve used your time for journaling and soul searching to create the life and business YOU truly desire, you can apply what you’ve gained for forward motion now. If not, you won’t get this deep introspective opportunity with Saturn again for another 30 years, so you’ll have to rely on Neptune in Aries beginning on March 30, 2025.

There’s No Turning Back from the New Era with Pluto in Aquarius until 2044

Pluto reenters Aquarius for 20 years
November 19 at 8:28 pm ET

Aquarius is such a confusing energy as it wants to break free from what everyone else wants, but also desires to make the entire world a better place. So, Aquarius is both individual and universal. This is good news as working together makes the humanitarian world-wide effort less fraught.

With Aquarius, everything is possible as this sign sees the future, creates a vision and leads people toward that common vision. Leaning into the intelligent, innovation and inspiration aspects of Aquarius helps you accept the chaos-creating work of Pluto. As Pluto stirs things up for healing, it behooves you to take stock, fortify yourself with Pluto’s tenacious gifts and move through the healing to the other side.

Imagine feeling lighter, more free and able to love yourself and others more fully. Envision yourself joined with hundreds of others toward making the world a better place. Dream this world into being with your thoughts and actions. This is possible with Pluto in Aquarius.

Yet, isolation and disconnection are lower energetic expressions of Aquarius when overwhelm sets in. The antidote is bending your mind in positive ways, staying engaged in your growth and connecting with others.

Shifting Beliefs with Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius

Mercury retrograde Sagittarius 22° – 6° November 25th – December 15th

Mercury asks you to shift your perspective about your current ideals and beliefs. This isn’t actually the time to engage and debate with others, but it is the time to review your position. You’re not actually right and Mercury wants to show you how. One of my favorite questions is, “How am I wrong?” This is an excellent time to ask this question and then sit back and watch Mercury show you.

You’ve forgotten something or someone you deem small that can really help you. Pause. Reflect. Let go. See who or what presents and then ponder how your current situation can be improved with this additional support.

Star Power

Week 1: November 1 – 10

The stars push you off the diving board right now, making you take the plunge into your wildest dreams. It’s thrilling and scary at the same time. How about choosing exhilaration?

Personally

November starts off with the New Moon in Scorpio and weirdly, the New Moon is a side hustle to the overall power-packed energy kicking off the month. Truth, power and magic give you a boost to your creativity, intuition and ability to persuade. However, this isn’t comfortable or light-hearted. This is deep.

Business

Transparency and radical honesty bring you creativity and success this week. You have the ability to strive for great success when you fine tune how you make business deals, focus on long term plans and revise your strategies to include your own satisfaction.

Week 2: November 11 – 17

Personally

Venus is the star at the beginning of the week and Uranus at the end. Venus in Capricorn gets super bossy and unbelievably selective. She’s reserved and accepts nothing less than the best. She’s looking for the long term and no frivolous connection will do. She wants a ring (figuratively or literally) and she wants it now. So, what commitments have you been avoiding? Stop avoiding. It’s time, especially when….

Uranus takes his shock and awe show on the road again over the weekend and he’s not shy about throwing you under the bus. Try not to be surprised by unexpected honesty or shifting feelings about relationships. Perhaps this is what you’ve been avoiding. Surprise!

Business

Priorities are realigned, stories are edited and facts are checked. Be careful with anything legal and get serious when something complicated arises. Roll up your sleeves and deal with it right away. You don’t want your thoughts to make it worse. Your mind will create an unbelievable story and the reality isn’t nearly as difficult as your mind makes it out to be.

Week 3: November 18 – 24

Personally

This is leap of faith week. Huge epiphanies and outrageous ideas have you wanting to jump off a cliff without any safety net. If it’s in alignment with your soul, go for it. If it’s not, you can go for it anyway, but you may have to course correct during the next few months and that’s not going to be effortless. My advice? Take big leaps in your thoughts and smaller actions to make them real.

Business

Imagine your best outcome for any scenario and take a few moments to jot down the first few steps. Better yet, get your team involved in a brainstorming session and see what comes. Pick a few of the better ideas and get creative. Construct a wireframe for each. Solutions are here for you.

Week 4: November 25 – 30

Mercury is the star this week and what a pain in the ass he is right now. He’s mucking up your connections on the personal side and pipeline on for your business.

Personally

You have incredible drive to tackle anything, so it’s an active time. You want to get going in every direction. Yet, carve out some time to align your mind, heart and will by staying present to experience life around you right now. Giving yourself permission to live fully adds so much juiciness to both your life and business.

Business

All of those ideas you had last week, have to be put on hold for a few weeks and that seems aggravating. But, actually, it’s not. It’s better to let them percolate to be revisited and reimagined. They’ll be 100x better for it.

Moon Magic

The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:

  1. The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
  2. From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
  3. The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
  4. From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.

New Moon: Sharpened Arrow from the Heart

Details: Sun & Moon at Scorpio 9° on November 1st @ 8:48 am ET

Happy New Magical Year!

This New Moon is the story of 3 triangles. The Truth, Power and Magic triangles work together to crack open your mind, heart and soul. The piercing nature of star power gives you tremendous courage and you’re going to need it.

The Sun and the Moon are almost an afterthought in this cosmic dance, yet for you, the luminary light shines your personal truth, power and magic. The typically unattainable star power is within your grasp.

The key to this kite shape is to successfully navigate its spine where Mars opposes Pluto, making you dive into your own wholeness before opening your heart to yourself and others.

The bow of Mars and Pluto gets pulled back to set your trajectory into the next 20 years where the truth triangle of Mercury-Pluto-Neptune lays the foundation propelling your powerful course. How far will you launch yourself into your life? What actionable steps will you take to reach your full potential? In what ways will you love yourself limitlessly?

Full Moon: Unexpected Truth in Relationships

Details: Sun in Scorpio & Moon in Taurus at 24° November 15th @ 4:29 pm ET

This is the time of the New Era and the Full Moon shines a light onto how you’re blending your feminine gifts and masculine strengths. The yin and yang

Once again, the Sun and the Moon urge you to experience yourself in relationships, strengthening the star power of love and commitment over the last few months. The Sun shines into the deepest parts of yourself while the Moon pushes you to simplify your life.

Uranus springs into action this Full Moon by cutting your heart into pieces, making you worry about stability in work, money and daily life. You feel knocked off center and how long it takes to find your footing depends on how much you can go with the flow.

Venus walks onto the stage a few days before this Full Moon pushing you and everyone in the world to remember how you showed up at the beginning of September. What happened then – anything memorable?

Having courage, honor and respect for yourself and those you adore is the key to achieving your goals and dreams.

Happy New Era Full Moon.

Selenite links to your higher self, promoting communication with the spiritual realm and deepening your connection with your inner voice. Selenite is a peaceful and calming stone. This stone assists in past life work, scrying and seeing future insight.

Selenite also protects the environmental energy around you, making this crystal a great one when dealing with conflict or difficult conversations. Selenite is super feminine that has a moon energy filled with water, light and loving power. Note: You can’t clear selenite in water as it’ll lose its shape by absorbing lots of water.

Selenite hasn’t been the monthly stone since April 2020.

Spirit Animal: Snake

A simple black silhouette of a snake forming an 'S' shape with its body. The snake's head is raised with an open mouth and visible fangs, set against a white background.

Snake transmutes and marks significant change in your life. With snake power, you’re an alchemist seeking wholeness. You’re a healer, love the ancient rituals, customs and practices and are very sensitive to energies.

Snake is the Chinese New Year animal for 2025, so this is a peek into next year’s magical support.

Flower Essence: Gentian

Two vibrant purple gentian flowers with green stems and leaves, isolated on a white background. The flowers have a trumpet-like shape with deep blue and purple tones, displaying intricate petal details.

Gentian helps you believe in yourself and to trust your inner guidance. This is a wonderful supportive energy when you need more focus and determination. This flower encourages you in any circumstance.

Connecting deeper with yourself and others is one of the overriding themes in November and gentian can help you when you feel discouraged. It eases unhealthy dependence and self-doubt. It can also help during times of setback.

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, you can take the quiz here.

Wise Strategist

Shed doubt and negative self-talk, especially in the beginning of the month. As a remedy, stand in your strengths. Set your strategy and make plans for the new year. Let your strong linear focus create underpinnings for your growth over the next 12 months. Hire a Collaborative Explorer to help you with outreach and making connections in 2025. They demonstrate making connections for potential.

Intuitive Visionary

Let go of distraction and doing too many things. Allowing shiny objects to take you away from your core isn’t going to set you up for scalable growth. Remember you are enough. Make it a mantra and ask for support to launch your offerings in 2025. In fact, hire a Wise Strategist to build structures and systems for you. You’ll need both structures and systems for big growth in 2025.

Collaborative Explorer

Eliminate those responsibilities you’ve taken on for others that aren’t supporting you. Be selfish without explanation, remorse or guilt. You can choose yourself. In fact, when you do, you show others how valuable you are and this launches you at a higher level. Review your offerings, your effort and your rates. Make sure they align. Talk to a Ruling Warrior to help you with this task. They’ll tell you the truth.

Ruling Warrior

This is the time to dive into emotions, yes, not your favorite thing, but there’s healing in it for you. When you get the healing, you’re able to show up more authentically and break through limits without butting your head up against them. This frees your time, effort and resources as you can grow without the fierce focus it usually requires. You could hire a Loving Alchemist to help you with the healing.

Creative Superstar

Focus on only 1 message this month to grab people’s attention and keep it. You can take different views, carve out aspects and tell stories about your 1 message. This will anchor your audience’s energy and keep them focused on exactly what you want them to stay focused on and it will be good practice for you. This is going to feel stifling, so partner with another Creative Superstar to keep it fun and lively.

Loving Alchemist

Choose simplicity as inspiration. Carve something out, winnow it down and sharpen its point. Showing your audience you can simplify helps you and them. It makes things lighter for you and clarifies things for them. This also highlights your power and magic by providing relief in ways being complex doesn’t. An Intuitive Visionary can show you how this is done, so hire or collaborate with one.

Bottom Line

November is a big month for your growth, setting the stage to attain your dreams. It’s a deep intuitive time for you to go inward to tap into your power and reach out for connection to invite opportunities and seek support.

Until next time, happy soul tidings!

How to Use Seasonal Energies to Increase Your Success

Using the seasonal energies opens you to your full potential and aligns you to your soul mission in ways other strategies don’t. This is so impactful, the seasonal forces also solidify your purpose, expand your power and increase your prosperity.

The dynamism of the cycles and their associated meanings urge you to lean into particular activities for your life and business that are both soulful and successful. Additionally, the seasons flow into each other and rely on particular elements giving you even more resources to leverage for your personal and professional growth.

If you’d rather listen, check out the podcast episode.

In order to utilize these powers, let’s discover each part of the seasonal energy:

  1. Meaning of the Seasons
  2. Seasonal Flow
  3. Using Seasonal Elements

The seasons present energies to work with and these involve:

I. Season of potential

Seasonal Meaning

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.

Seasonal Flow

The Seasons are a beautiful wheel spinning and moving into and out of each other. The seasonal cycle begins with the Season of Potential that invades your soul as the thinnest veil between the known and the unknown permeates your being. The magical world communes with you in ways it doesn’t any other time of year.

When you’re observant and lean into your perceptive insights, you access your intuitive knowing and internal compass to give you an inward approach to your best path forward. In business, this time is called strategy. In magic, it’s named soul mission.

Using Season of Potential for Success

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.

Open to your full potential through your Intuitive Success Signature. If you haven’t taken the 12-question quiz to discover your energetic entry into the world, take it here.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Potential

Wise Strategist

This isn’t your favorite time other than using the season to position your strategic direction. You readily embrace the strategy setting, but the yin influence benefits you when you open up to possibility. Take moments throughout the season to reflect and journal your innermost thoughts and deepest desires. Let these guide your strategy for the year.

Intuitive Visionary

Use the thin veil between the worlds at the beginning of the season to explore your soul voice and find your inner compass. Connect to your intuition and ask for guidance on your best energy, theme, word and intentions for the year. Let your inner voice dictate how to fulfill your highest potential.

Collaborative Explorer

Know your trajectory starts with you. Use the element of earth to stabilize your footing to set your strategy for the year by reviewing how you’ve tracked against your goals for the current year. See where you’ve come strongly ahead and look where you haven’t attained them. Select those that truly matter to you to set your strategy for the coming year.

Ruling Warrior

You love this time of year because you get to review where you stand. Look at your baseline for revenues, expenses and profits as well as your schedule to determine how to set your strategy for the next year. Remember to fold your resources, energy and passions into your plans.

Creative Superstar

Take the extra time available to be creative with the magical energies and holiday schedules. Relish these open hearted and intuitively guided and soul purposed influences. Let your imagination run wild. Dream your biggest dreams, embrace your greatest desires and pursue your deepest passions. Gather your reflections and use them to create the best version of yourself in the coming year.

Loving Alchemist

This is your favorite season. Make time to commune with yourself. Seriously craft a schedule through this season carving out time to reflect, to journal and to savor your heart and soul. Contemplate, ponder, marinate your value, power and version of success. If you want to get even more out of the season, dive deeply into your darkest places to discover hidden treasure.

Case Study for Potential
Before

A Sales Catalyst, who is an Intuitive Visionary, was dealing with tremendous pressure in her personal life, so had expanded her business support to continue her business in her absence.

This was logical, but the support was acquired without clear direction, measures or metrics.

It was confusing because the results were being obfuscated and the potential was there and always ‘just out of reach’.

This misalignment was driving her business in different ways and was, in fact, blocking her success.

After

First, we opened her to her full potential to realize she’s a paradigm shifter. Yet, her ability to make the desired change-making impact required definition and energetic alignment with her true life purpose. This required her to be able to receive the support to realize her mission in life.

Second, we identified the ways she wasn’t purposefully receiving support that had her best interests at heart. We removed blocks to her ability to receive and amplified her alignment with her purpose.

Third, we created the right scenario to separate from her acquired support by illustrating how opportunistic modes opened purposeful pathways to success.

Bottom line: Since the acquired separation, she’s grown her business 300% in the last few months.

II. Season of purpose

Seasonal Meaning

Months: February, March, April
Astrological signs: Aquarius, Pisces, Aries
Earthly Element: Air
Apex: Equinox
Northern Gateway: Imbolc
Affinity: Male expression
Impact: Intentional planning

The quickening of the energies ignites the divine spark to create in a purposeful union of possibility and planning. Set your strategy and be mindful to create your satisfying success. This is primarily a yang, focused time, but leaning into the yin, strategic view point, wise prospective and intentional outlay of energy boosts your desired growth.

This is primarily a masculine time of strength to use your logic and purposeful planning skills. The season of purpose adores the linear processing, reasoning and scheduling aspects to get everything on the calendar to achieve the goals outlined in the strategy from the season of potential.

Magically, relax into the air element to learn to go with the flow, be flexible and stay in balance with the natural contracting and expanding influences of life. Change your mind, shift your perspective and see things fully. You can open your intuitive knowing through observation and perception for your best first steps.

Practically, align your schedule with the seasons and calendar with the cosmos. Infuse your goals and targets into your overall strategy. Set up your reports – financial, operational and marketing – to determine your capacity and resource needs. Begin to attract the right people into your world.

Seasonal Flow

The Season of Potential becomes thoughtful and intentional as it moves into the Season of Purpose, where you put pen to paper, details to strategy and goals to ideas. Your yang skills are called for as you bring the inspiring thoughts and ideas into being. Making it real is your mantra. The pushing wheel of energy runs thin as you take out the magic and fill everything with the practical.

Using the Season of Purpose for Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

Season of Purpose relies on the air element for planning and defining your initial strategy. The air element speaks to your mind to foster a left-brain response to the dreamy aspect of establishing your vision for the year. Determining goals, setting targets and outlining objectives is an excellent response to this season. Setting your calendar for collaborations is a requirement to fully grow your business.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Purpose

Wise Strategist

This is your favorite season. Let your natural gifts, talents and skills to come to the fore. Taking your strategy and setting all the goals, targets, objectives and schedules comes naturally to you. Take the lead to convey the high-level pillars and milestones to your team. Inspire others to help you.

Intuitive Visionary

You’re challenged to stay on track and be detail-oriented. You have much more success thinking in big picture terms. Yet, you actually can fold the details into your overall strategy when you stay in touch with WHY you’re dealing with those pesky particulars. Remembering your why is the key.

Collaborative Explorer

Make a list of your key resources, networking buddies, collaborators, prospects, clients and alumni to identify your key opportunities and required support. Set up processes and scripts for outreach. Reach out to a handful of people every week. Keep on a regular schedule and remember to ask for the support and opportunities you desire.

Ruling Warrior

You love this season as everyone becomes goal-oriented and you can easily relate to them. You’ve set it all up to make this your best year ever. Yet, you need support to help you achieve them without overwork, exhaustion and stress. Take the time to actually communicate your goals, targets and objectives to others to get them on board.

Creative Superstar

This is your worst season when you focus on the planning aspects of it, but this season, with its airy flow, can be an excellent one when you pay attention to the creation aspects of it. Use the movement and flow to create a living vision board to bring your goals into fruition.

Loving Alchemist

Energize your strategy with your powerful passions and deep desires. Add fuel when marking your calendar for events, selecting people to support you or carving out time to seek opportunities. Aligning your heart and soul with your mindful intentions provides the foundation to make this year the one you truly love.

Case Study for Purpose
Before

A landscape designer, who is a Collaborative Explorer, was working for a company that was growing, but not demonstrating solid leadership. He was frustrated, making too little money and working too many hours. He had responsibility without authority.

He wanted to start his own company, but due to his experiences in the field, he didn’t want to employ anyone.

He basically wanted to get relief without actually thinking about how starting a company would affect him and his family.

He had no clear direction other than getting out of his current situation. He actually quit his job, without any opportunities lined up, at the worst possible time in the season.

After

First, I walked into his stars and conveyed his life purpose that 100% involved leadership. There was no getting around it, his soul wanted him to be a leader.

Second, we removed his inability to wear his power in order to align his energy with his life purpose.

Third, we defined his purposeful strategic direction and gave him all of the tools to become a successful entrepreneur.

Fourth, because of his hesitancy to become a leader, we set up a business model that could delay this possibility as long as it took to remove his block.

Fifth, we removed his leadership block(s) to clear his pathway for success.

Bottom line: He blew away his targets in the first year and doubled his business in the second year. He’s increased his revenues by 567%.

III. Season of power

Seasonal Meaning

Months: May, June, July
Astrological signs: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer
Earthly Element: Fire
Apex: Solstice
Northern Gateway: Beltane
Affinity: Male expression
Impact: Powerful authority

Your growth is evident in the world. The power you express makes an impact to all who come into your sphere of influence. This is a fiery yang time that requires you to push beyond yourself and your intimate circles. This is an outward, expansive and visible season. It’s about connections, outreach and sales first and foremost. This is the time for you to show up, early and often, so respecting your natural tendencies is imperative. You want to be wary of burning through your energy, commitment and resources. Honor your yin side by taking breaks, vacations and spending time in relaxation.

This is primarily a masculine expression with its fiery core. Energizing your core power involves fortifying your strength, fueling your passion and adding motivation to attract those in your niche. Folding the feminine energy around this fire turns up the volume to create big impact.

Magically, clear your mind and open your heart to create energy to bring people into your sphere who align with you. Your internal power speaks volumes and the trick is to send out the signals to attract those into your world.

Practically, expand your energies to reach out to those who can help you through support or opportunities. Network, introduce, connect and refer are your activities during this season.

Seasonal Flow

The Season of Power saves you from yourself and this power-filled fiery energy infuses magic through connective webbing. You shine. You bask. You create bounty through your brilliance, your visibility and your connections. Having witness to your offerings breathes in new life and new energy. The sharing of them creates something different from what you originally thought. Staying open to the magical flow of power and its fluidity is critical to be sustainable.

Using the Season of Power for Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

Season of Power uses fire to create the largest expansion in energies at the apex of the year with the solstice in June. Fire is inspirational to generate momentum to ensure the strategy that was set in the prior season is fulfilled. This is an excellent season to connect with others, flex your genius and create your platforms or stages. This is a great time for speaking, selling experiences and launching series to highlight your gifts.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Power

Wise Strategist

Wrapping yourself with power helps you stay open when you’re networking and having conversations that are unpredictable but important. Your mind tends to focus solely on the transactional aspect of the outreach, thereby limiting the possibilities. Keeping an open mind benefits your ability to achieve your goal of making big impact.

Intuitive Visionary

You embrace the power available this season and love the idea of making big impact. The fire keeps you grounded yet in the flow. Take the power into the rooms with you when you speak to stay focused on your call to action. Plan on many speaking engagements this season to cultivate a stronger following.

Collaborative Explorer

You love the connective tissue in the energy this season. This is your time to connect, network and engage. During the Season of Purpose, plan on inviting people to your stage, podcast or group to guide them on how collaboration really works. Stepping into the leadership role bolsters your client roster.

Ruling Warrior

Your power aligns with the power of the season, so the rhythm and tempo serves to expand your authority to deepen your engagement in your field and perhaps to expand it. You want to infuse power into your conversations to induce them to further their connection with you. Use your powerful sales skills to further relationships, instead of just making sales. This isn’t a transactional time, it’s a relational one.

Creative Superstar

The fire in the energy fuels your creativity, so you can be excited about the creativity, ideas and solutions ripe for the plucking. You can derive a complete process for getting your designs into the world. Following your heart, telling your story, giving behind the scenes peeks stir your following. Remember to invite and offer with clear calls to action to generate abundance exchange for your creations.

Loving Alchemist

You are power personified, so this season has your name on it. Enjoy your power to the fullest by showing up for yourself on stages that put you front and center. Speak your truth, deeply connect to others and host parties in business and in life to share your glorious power.

Case Study for Power
Before

A leadership consultant, who is a Wise Strategist, was limiting her impact because she was tied up in others’ definition and models for success. She was trying to put herself into a box that wasn’t hers. She let her mind lead in every decision without opening to her intuition or power.

She was trying to prove herself, so attached herself to outcomes and results. She was spending too much time and effort without realizing her power and worth. She was actually minimizing her impact and was unhappy with the way she worked and how it adversely affected her personal life.

After

First, we shed her attachment to other’s models and definitions of success.

Second, we turned her business model on its side and increased her capacity to make impact 100-fold.

Third, we worked to clear her mind and open her heart, so she began to realize her true power and ability for impact. She realized she didn’t need to prove herself, so she showed up without an agenda to impart her expertise to her clients. With all of the positive feedback, she completely opened to her power.

Bottom line: She’s attracting unbelievable opportunities with Fortune 50 clients and achieving never-before-seen results.

IV. Season of prosperity

Seasonal Meaning

Months: August, September, October
Astrological signs: Leo, Virgo, Libra
Earthly Element: Water
Apex: Equinox
Northern Gateway: Llamas
Affinity: Feminine energy
Impact: Harvest Bounty

It’s the time of harvest to gain the bounty of your careful planning and powerful influence. Reap your rewards and let go of expectation to begin another cycle. Appreciation, reverence and reciprocity are the tenors of this season. When you put your attention onto the beginning, the middle and the end of the prosperous cycle, you open yourself to the universal flow of it.

This is primarily a feminine energy. Prosperity is a flow that involves giving and receiving and accordingly, this force involves reciprocity and synchronicity. Being in the flow requires a clear mind, open heart and active will. Embracing your full potential, aligning with your true purpose and owning your power increases your prosperity flow.

Magically, use crystals such as goldstone, citrine, aventurine, amethyst and pyrite and set up either a money bowl, profit plate or wealth vase. Use the cycles of the Moon to set intentions, fuel your energies and manifest your true desires.

Practically, wear your value – feel it rolling around in your mouth, speak it loudly and with authority and use this ownership to attract your soul mate clients.

Seasonal Flow

The Season of Prosperity is the culmination of the entire seasonal cycle. As your potential becomes purposeful and you infuse power, your bounty is ready to be harvested. The outward aspects of power turn inward slightly as requires a balance between the inner and the outer. You’re still required to expend energy, but it’s a gathering versus a full outreach.

You connect, but it’s with like-minded community or already prosecuted connections. You know your lane, you have a role that’s defined and within these parameters, you harvest to receive abundance for your value and efforts.

Using the Season of Prosperity for Success

Each season has a primary element you can leverage to get things accomplished throughout the year.

Season of Prosperity leans into the water element to allow the bittersweet side of this harvest season. The bounty evident throughout the season gives way to the waning the energies as the season turns into the slower moving season of potential. Balancing between growth-oriented outreach and intentional connection is the key for your growth. This is a great time for retreats, conferences, workshops and trade shows.

Intuitive Success Signatures Tools for Prosperity

Wise Strategist

You want to lean into the practical and evidentiary aspects of prosperity. You love to set your goals, review your finances and track your profits. However, the open-ended possibility of growth disorients your linear focus. Allow yourself to appreciate growth and all of its unpredictability.

Intuitive Visionary

You absolutely love prosperity and this season is your favorite. You align with the flow of giving and receiving with all of its variety and unexpected surprises. Step into an authority position for prosperity. Relish the ability to spend an entire season in each of the phases of prosperity – appreciation, reverence and reciprocity. Practice each daily.

Collaborative Explorer

Prosperity does indeed align with your energy, yet you don’t recognize this truth. Review all of your prosperous ways. Show appreciation for the abundance in your life. Have reverence for the value you hold and share with others. You naturally demonstrate the giving side of reciprocity, but want to work on the receiving end.

Ruling Warrior

You love the money aspect of prosperity, but the flow doesn’t appeal to you. Yet, appreciating the reciprocity and synchronicity facets increases your money, abundance and prosperity. Recognizing the connections to each of these energies, increases all of them.

Creative Superstar

You don’t like talking about money, but you do love having it. When you shift your mindset to accept prosperity without thinking about money, you can step into the flow. Allow the reciprocity cycle to open you to yourself and your natural gifts and talents. When you do, you widen your receiving container. Showing up to receive nudges you to make offers and get people to work with you.

Loving Alchemist

You are great with prosperity, but don’t realize it as you repel money as much as you attract it. When you own your power, money recognizes you and comes to you easily. Reclaim your ability to create wealth and align your energy with that of money. Embrace your love for money and watch it grow in your life and business. “I love money and money loves me” is a living mantra for you.

Case Study for Prosperity
Before

A Loving Alchemist, who is a book coach, was not owning her power or her ability to make money using her gifts and talents.

We worked on reclaiming her power for her incredible ability to create clarity, hold space, and tease out her authors’ voices. Allowing her to realize the reciprocity and synchronicity of prosperity opened her to accepting abundance exchange.

Working together, she began to observe herself through the eyes of her clients. She got impactful feedback from her clients and had deep conversations with her followers.

After

First, she realized her true stories about holding back her power and how that affected her ability to own her gifts. She started owning her value.

Second, she revamped her pricing to align her value with her work. Accepting the full value for her gifts attracted the right people into her sphere of influence.

Third, we did the exercises and rituals that removed her blocks to money.

Fourth, she put herself in front of her followers and invited them to work with her.

Bottom line: She’s gotten 3X as many clients on the regular than she’s ever gotten at any time previously. She’s also delivered a podcast and is starting a new community.

Using the seasonal powers increases your chances for success. Take notes for your Intuitive Success Signatures for each season to amplify the energy you want to bring into your life and business.

You too can embrace your full potential to realize your life purpose, reclaim your power and increase your prosperity. Check out what everyone can easily fold into their schedule and payment capacity
