Relying on Cosmic Love Stars

Why Cosmic Love?

The stars have so much to say about 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. 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 soul-mate 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 story, 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 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 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 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 appeals to Aquarius as it keeps him on his toes. Libra is another good sign for Aquarius as each desire connection and collaboration. Librans 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.

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 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, “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 dissolving 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 astrology 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 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 the astrology to give you the insight and glean the tools you need to be able to navigate your relationship successfully.

Are You Ready for 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 dates

Big Star Shifts: (in chronological order)

  • 2/4 – Gemini Jupiter direct
  • 2/7 – Pisces Neptune conjunct collective soul destiny
  • 2/23 – Cancer Mars direct
  • 2/24 –2/28 – All planets direct

Big star shift meanings

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 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 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 or 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 prevents 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 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, 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 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.

Take care of business, make connections and brings things to their final conclusion are positive for you right now.

Full Moon: Boldly Stretch into Your Future

Details: February 12 @ 8:54 am ET Full Moon with Sun in Aquarius & Moon in Leo at 24°

The Moon is in Aquarius and the Sun is in Leo making you want to break free from any limits that have been in your way blocking you from fulfilling your goals.

Leo is impatient with how slowly things have been moving these last few months. Change and opportunity is here, it just may be hidden behind frustration, distraction and confusion. Things aren’t as they appear and this may be positive or negative, depending on your point of view.

Get passionate about who you are and what you do to stretch into your future. Take a few deliberate steps today.

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 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 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 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

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.”

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

Change is in the air. Say YES to the win as you rise like the phoenix and rise from the ashes. Good things are here for you right now. The key is to pay attention and observe the blessing around you. Soar brightly and let others see you fully for all of your gifts and expertise. It’s your time to shine.

Intuitive Visionary

Ideas, inventions and creative solutions are coming to you in full force for the entire month. Capture those that fit into your soul-aligned path forward and disregard those that don’t fit. Don’t give them a second thought as these aren’t yours and will only distract you.

Collaborative Explorer

Carve out time this month for spending time with your loved ones – friends or family. This gives you a burst of energy that helps you to use your voice, to show up for yourself, and to lead from the front. 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. This is a partnership, collaboration and time to seek guidance. It’s also a time to invest in yourself in terms of your soul mission and alignment with your true purpose. 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

Get to the bottom of things to reveal what’s hidden. Let your genius out to shine for others to see. Your power helps others find their power. Make the connection with the universal powers and your own power to create a vortex that extends to you, your people and the world.

Bottom line

February is a month to demonstrate your appreciation for the power all around you – particularly the people who are important to you, personally and in your business. Getting creative, being generous and showing up for yourself are the ways you stretch into your future. The cosmos have your best interests at heart and conspire to give you more love and money. Savor these slower moments – you’re going to wish for them later this year.

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

How Do You Choose to Experience the World?

Destiny & Karma

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

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

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

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

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

Destiny & Karmic Movement

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

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

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

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

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

The same Pisces-Virgo energy occurred:

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

The opposing Virgo-Pisces energy occurred:

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

Pisces & Virgo

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

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

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

Collective Soul Destiny

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

Pisces North Node: Embrace

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

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

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

Soul Destiny Tips

Your general tips to embrace your spirituality are:

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

Collective Soul Karma

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

Virgo South Node: Resolve

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

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

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

General Release Karma Steps

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

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

Soul Destiny Throughout 2025

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

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

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

Dreamy Imaginings in February with Neptune

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

Blast of Reality in April with Saturn

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

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

Positive Changes in May with Uranus

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

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

Big Moves in May with Jupiter

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

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

Nourishing Support in September with Jupiter

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

How to Show Up for Yourself

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

Showing Up with Your Intuitive Success Signature

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

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

Show Up for Yourself Physically

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Show Up for Yourself Emotionally

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Show Up for Yourself Mentally

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Show Up for Yourself Spiritually

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bottom Line

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

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

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

Stars

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

Signatures

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

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

Strategies

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

New Era Success Formula

January Summary

January: Create Your Own Opportunities

Sun signs – Capricorn & Aquarius

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

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

Seasonal insights

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

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

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

Season of Potential

Seasonal Attributes

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

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

Let your mind wander and imagine.

Plant seeds in the fertile soil of endless possibility.

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

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

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

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

Seasonal Business Tips for Potential

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

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

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

Big star shift meanings

Mars & Pluto: Pressurized Power

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

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

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

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

These opposing forces become epic energies with Mars and Pluto.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mars Retrograde: Caring Support or Victimhood

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

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

Mars in Cancer and Leo exact dates:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mars with Collective Soul Destiny Front & Center

Martial Support

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

January 5 at 
1:20 am ET

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

Soul Destiny Changes

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

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

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

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

Weekly star power

Week 1: December 30 – January 5

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

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

Week 2: January 6 – 12

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

Take a deep breath and slow down.

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

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

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.

Get creative. It’s your time.

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

Flower Essence: Gorse

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

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

Intuitive success signature forecasts

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

Wise Strategist

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

Intuitive Visionary

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

Collaborative Explorer

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

Ruling Warrior

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

Creative Superstar

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

Loving Alchemist

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

Bottom line

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

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

December 2024 Astrology Forecast: What Future Are You Creating?

Monthly Summary

December: Which Side Are You On – Positive or Negative?
Sun signs – Sagittarius & Capricorn
Seasonal energies: Apex of Potential with the Solstice on the 21st
Energetic Element: Earth/ether

Overall meaning: The perfect window presents itself. It’s the one you’ve been longing for throughout lifetimes. Your soul recognizes it, but will your mind? It’s time to reassess based on your proclivities, instincts and natural tendencies. You may be following the beat of another’s drum. Adjust your tune.

Dance to your own music, rhythm and style. Fine tune your approach for 2025.

December is a Black Moon month with 2 New Moons during the 31-day period. A Blue Moon month is one with 2 Full Moons in one month.

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 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.

Star Dance

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

  • Now: Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius until December 15
  • December 6: Mars retrograde from Leo 6° – Cancer 17° (until February 23, 2025)
  • December 7: Neptune stations direct
  • December 21: Solstice with the Sun entering Capricorn
  • December 24: Jupiter square Saturn (2nd time, August 19, 2024 & June 15, 2025)
  • December 29: Chiron stations direct
  • December 30: Black Moon in Capricorn

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.

If you want more information about the New Era, check out my special 3-part series. It’s an exciting time to unlock your potential, but it requires you to be in alignment with your soul mission.

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.

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,

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”.

Star Dance

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)

  • 11/3 Cancer Mars opposite Capricorn Pluto @ 29°
  • 11/15 Saturn direct
  • 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.

To set yourself up for success for the next 20 years, read the NEWLY published article to Unlock the Hidden Treasure of Success, Power and Love.

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. You’re traveling to the bottom of the ocean to find your hidden treasure.

Hint: It’s your soul truth.

Hint, hint: Take time to connect to your heart to hear its whispers. If you want ways to do this, check out my Heart Connecting Protocol – free for a limited time.

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.

Monthly Oracle Card: #36 Grow

A card from Kim Woods' Intuition Oracle Deck" titled "Grow," featuring a mandala design and an image of a hand holding a small plant sprout. Text at the bottom reads, 'Welcome new growth."

Welcome new growth. You’re in a growth cycle right now. Expand and widen your foundation to allow increased success. Invite opportunities and seek support in order to grow to your full potential. Your dreams are in sight, so set yourself up for success by anchoring your masculine strengths and pushing your feminine gifts to the edges.

Crystal: Selenite

A serene arrangement featuring white selenite healing crystals on a wooden surface near a window. The display includes a selenite crystal sphere, clusters of raw selenite crystals, scattered small stones, and a white candle burning in the foreground.

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.

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

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!

Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

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.

Part 5. Cosmic Forces of First Term 2025 – 2029

The 2024 U.S. election ties beautifully into the cosmic forces of the New Era, a concept I have been discussing for years. For those who are new, the New Era is the return of Pluto for the United States and then into the sign of Aquarius. Sometimes called ‘the age of Aquarius,’ it is a symbol of societal change, innovation, and transformation.

The soul of America is firmly on this precipice. Will the United States stay united based on its original constitutional structures or will it rewrite them in a new way? Will the country remain a superpower policing the world or turn inward to heal its wounds?

The next few years push the United States to the brink and we all have a front-row seat to the unfolding of the country’s judgment day.

America’s judgment day coincides with the nation’s 250-year Plutonian return to determine how the nation has lived up to its constitutional promise. Pluto has brought about The New Era for the United States and the world.

The New Era

As of December 21, 2020, a new way of leading was initiated by the cosmos to open the energy of the future for inclusion, freedom, and innovation. This new way enables the softer skills of the feminine to combine with the logical strengths of the masculine. This new way of leading enhances the possibilities of success.

For the United States, blending diplomacy with force, democracy with leadership, powerful positions with laws, and individual rights with institutional laws is an example of the balancing of softer skills with core strengths.

Waves of the New Era

The next handful of years are fraught with chaos and uncertainty to break down the old institutional traditions that no longer work and create new customs and approaches.

Interpreting the stars of the United States for each of the four first-term years for the eventual 47th President helps determine how this president will fare in their official capacity. The nation is going through a rendering of its constitution, so these years are fraught with tension and potential conflict.

Prior Waves

The last 15 years have been filled with increasing pressure to destabilize the foundations of government, financial systems, and individual rights. A brief walk down memory lane highlights the most impactful events:

  • Barack Obama Elected 44th President, 2008 (Re-elected, 2012)
  • Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009
  • Landmark Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC, 2010
  • Midterm elections & rise of Tea Party, 2010
  • Supreme Court guts Voting Rights Act, Shelby v. Holder, 2013
  • Police kill Michael Brown in St. Louis, leading to Black Lives Matter movement, 2014
  • Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015 (LGBTQ+ marriage nationally recognized)
  • Trump announces run for president, vows to ‘Make America Great Again’, 2015
  • Donald Trump Elected 45th President, 2016
  • #MeToo movement, 2018
  • Trump impeached, 2019
  • Joe Biden Elected 46th President, 2020
  • Jan. 6th Insurrection at U.S. Capitol, 2021
  • COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-2021
  • Trump impeached for inciting Capitol riot, 2021
  • Juneteenth declared Federal holiday, 2021
  • Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade abortion protections in Dobbs v. Jackson, 2022
  • Trump indicted, 2023
  • Supreme Court grants presidential immunity, Trump v. United States, 2024
  • Biden withdraws from election, 2024
  • Harris becomes Democratic candidate, 2024

Knowing the cosmic activity for these prior events isn’t as necessary as looking toward the future for how the New Era unfolds in this country. Let’s look through the entire first term from January 2025 to January 2029.

2025: Wave of the Disruptors

2025 is fiery and, on the heels of the Inauguration of the 47th President, signifies tangible change. Everything feels novel at this time. The nation is under the influence of the cosmos, so the meaning of the key star dates matters.

Regarding the New Era, 2025 is the Year of Disruption, as structures are going to be dismantled to be rebuilt under the influence of the constitutional promise of equality, freedom, and the individual rights of a life well-lived.

Key Star Dates:

  • Karmic destiny shift January 12, 2025
  • Neptune enters Aries March 30, 2025
  • Saturn enters Aries May 25, 2025
  • Uranus enters Gemini July 7, 2025
  • Neptune sextile Uranus August 28 & November 20, 2025

Karmic Destiny

The karmic destiny shift moves from the initiation of the New Era into the experience of the New Era. For the last few years, the karmic destiny was tied to the higher and lower expressions of the masculine and feminine.

The higher expression of the masculine is courageous, bold, and filled with active leadership; while its lower expression is aggressive, angry, and disingenuous in its leadership. The higher expression of the feminine is diplomatic, committed, and in full ownership of its value and the lower expression is needy, fickle, and constantly seeking validation.

Going forward, the karmic destiny of the New Era is its living experience of it, practically and esoterically. The higher expression of the esoteric experience is soulful, caring, and buoyant; while the lower expression is insensitive, escapist, and victimized. The higher expression of the practical experience is embodied, calm, and liberated and the lower expression is critical, anxious, and subjugated.

Both ends of the spectrum are available for the entire year of 2025 and half of the year 2026.

Wakeup Call

Neptune and Saturn move into Aries, sparking a huge wakeup call to remove rose-colored glasses and create practical applications to universal drives. These combined energies are available for the next 3 years, most intensely in 2025.

In March and May, waves of people will awaken to see things clearly and to think and act for themselves. The ability to hide, escape, or fool oneself is much more difficult now than it has been for the last decade.

In the 2nd quarter of 2025, people will suddenly look around and see their world for what it is. If they’re mature and responsible, they’ll have the fortitude to make the changes to live the life they’ve dreamed. If they continue to blame others, they’ll lash out and take their grievances out on others.

Because the fiery energy of Aries is full of action, ambition, and passion. Many changes are on the horizon, individually and collectively.

Massive Change

In July, there’s a lightning bolt of energy, creating shock and awe to open people’s minds and to appreciate different perspectives. This is a jolt for radical change striving for the ideal. The future opens widely, either for the freedom seeker or the revolutionary.

The unexpected, fast-paced energy brings boundless opportunity and innovation but can be disorienting with its frenetic speed. Seeking change without purpose, squandering resources through disorganization, and failure to commit are some of the downsides of this star configuration.

Dismantling structures, moving borders, and shifting modes of transportation are a few of the matters up for modification. This cuspy energy in 2025 is amplified due to its novelty but becomes familiar over the next few years. This energy gets ramped up again between 2029 – 2031 when the collective karmic destiny is under this same force.

Spiritual Awakening

In August and November, the stars catalyze spirituality through its 7-year acceleration from 2022 – 2029. There are practical applications and realistic expectations throughout this year creating the opportunity to develop spiritual routines and practices that bring you closer to connecting with your intuition and the universal energies.

Philosophy about the meaning of life and the combination of science and art are at an all-time high. Forces for creativity, unity, and humanity serve in the pursuit of these ideals. Shock and awe create unexpected shifts. The last time these stars were in this configuration was from 1966 – 1968.

In 2025, the zodiac signs of Aries and Gemini push for idealistic actions, spiritually-minded, and changing perspectives. Aries strives for individual rights in pioneering and warrior-like ways. Practically, Gemini drives travel, communication, learning, teaching, and everything business.

In 1966 – 1968, the zodiac signs of Scorpio and Virgo pressed for women’s power and fair working conditions. Healing the taboos of sex, drugs, and rock and roll was the norm at this time.

United States 2025

Summary:

Referring to the star chart of the United States, its innermost depths are awakened and brought to the surface. Having the courage to uphold the deep-seated principles of independence, freedom of self-expression, and manifesting its dreams is under the magnifying glass. There’s urgency and impatience for pioneering into new realms.

There are multiple pulses for this awakening that push for bravery and diplomacy, force and democracy, and women and men in equal but opposing ways. The key is to appreciate the differing points of view and integrate them, not separate them further.

The power to heal through this awakening requires individual bravery. When people stand up for their rights in powerful, yet non-threatening ways, the nation heals its wounding around inequality and exclusion. Representing both individual and national freedoms is the best path forward.

There are many adjustments for women in the country. Whether they are good or bad depends on your point of view. The future pushes for freedom, originality, and genius when it comes to women’s rights and the independence of their bodies. The powerful impact of women serves to create a different way of leadership.

Unions are on the rise, as is the middle class. Rebuilding the core for equal rights between workers and leaders, women and men, and Democratic and Republican creates powerful energy to revitalize the nation’s standing in the world. Cross-cultural pursuits, international trade, and giving voice to the underprivileged renew normal channels of common ground for the country.

Financial standing is one of the ways healing can happen. Understanding the true value of craftsmanship, lineage, and workers’ rights increases the value creation possible for the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).

The service industries of housing, food, finance, nursing, and hospitals can change for the better. Careers in financial planning, real estate, holistic health, childcare, and therapy grow in unprecedented ways.

The karmic destiny of the nation is met with dissolution and deception in the middle of the year. The practical methods for workers, service industries, and women’s rights are muted, with people being persuaded positive results aren’t possible. The ideals are pressed with realistic expectations, making solutions seem improbable. The urgency dissipates, mitigating the energy behind these efforts.

Overall, there are supportive energies for positive changes to uphold the promise of the US Constitution.

2026: Wave of the Awakeners

The wakeup call of 2025 brings disruption, and in 2026 the awakening ignites massive efforts in every area of life. The theme of 2026 is Opportunity through the awakening, and the oracle card is Prosper. With opportunity comes maturity to take responsibility for these opportunities to create a ripple effect for positive change.

The flow of prosperity expands to the edges to reach those most in need while satiating everyone in between. Prosperity and opportunity appear to be positive on the surface. Let’s dive into the energies beneath these themes to get the real story.

Key Star Dates:

  • Aries Saturn conjunct Neptune February 20, 2026
  • Gemini Uranus sextile Aries Neptune July 25, 2026
  • Gemini Uranus trine Aquarius Pluto July 18 & November 29, 2026
  • Karmic destiny shift July 28, 2026

Origin Point of the World

When Saturn and Neptune meet on February 20, 2026 in Aries at 0°, it’s the origin point of the world. In Aries, the breaking down and building up energies will be in pioneering efforts. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so it sparks everything new. The New Era is here. New technologies, new modes, and new realms are possible. Pioneering warriors could become relevant at this time.

To find out more about the New Era, check out the series right here.

The last time these two planets met was in 1989 in the sign of Capricorn. Both are cardinal signs, so they represent new beginnings. In 1989, government, financial institutions, and leadership were built up and broken down. The Berlin Wall fell, leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and democratic protests in Tiananmen Square rattled the core of the established Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Quest for Freedom

Reforming forces breakthrough for the potential of freedom, equality, and justice. Traditions are meant to be broken and rules don’t have to be restraining. Expectations to express your individuality and uniqueness become the norm.

Power wants to be fluid as it’s meant to be without being restrained or amassed. The future outlook is positive with optimistic thoughts and fresh perspectives. Originality for brilliant ideas creates scientific inventions, experimental medicines, and genius innovations in every field.

Efforts to unite people involve protests, activism, and advocacy. The rise of these activities infuses itself into the fabric of society. It’s a time of increased public forums, hopefully in peaceful negotiations and not aggressive posturing. This is a supportive energy, so positive outcomes arise.

The initiation of this cycle occurred in 1966 with the effects felt most acutely from 1962 – 1968.

If you think back to the 1960s, the major events marked by this cycle involve:

  • Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962
  • Assassinations of key national figures (John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X)
  • Civil Rights Movement
  • Bay of Pigs Invasion, 1961
  • Vietnam War and anti-War protests
  • Space Race and First Moon Landing, 1960s & 1969
  • FDA Approves Birth Control Pill, 1960

Spiritual Awakening

Another wave of spiritual awakening brings a renewed push for holistic wellness, divination system exploration, vibrational healing, and appreciation for the earthly and cosmic cycles. The industries for these endeavors increase exponentially.

Structured religion and dogmatic approaches to the meaning of life fracture. Mass consciousness seeks answers that fundamental ideologies can’t explain. Quantum physics meets spirituality, art meets science, and the unknown and the known merge for the expression of wholeness.

Karmic Destiny

In July, the karmic destiny shifts from the ways of experiencing life to modes of expressing it. Organic grassroots humanity at large is the destiny of the world once again, releasing chokeholds on disingenuous leadership, autocracy, and narcissistic tendencies.

The future yearns to strive for freedom, equity, and humanitarianism involving intelligent innovations and continued awakening. Healing separatist, revolutionary, and vigilante methods are required.

Overcoming selfish, arrogant, and domineering influences resolves the pressures from the top of the leadership hierarchy. Authenticity, generosity, and honest expression widen the possibility for positive change.

United States 2026

Summary:

Once again, the pressure on the United States to awaken to its constitutional promise is the overriding energy of the year for the country. Freedom of expression and the inalienable rights of every citizen need to be pursued with valor. When responsibility is accepted with maturity, positive change ensues.

There’s a set-up of star energy known as the magic triangle that provides constructive power for the rights of workers and the middle class. Opening hearts and minds to the plight of the working class also gains attention to better allocate resources and income.

Embracing the marginalized and giving hope for the future of inclusion and equity transforms the way the justice system works. Revamping the entire structure is necessary. No half-measures will do. The question is, Does the country have the bravery for wide-sweeping logical change?

Pursuing unity for the greater good is possible through spiritual pursuits. Healing comes from deep transformation. The wealth of the nation comes from political leaders who command integrity, honesty, and authenticity.

Powerful leadership reorients the world to widen its acceptance of others who are different or formerly alienated. Outsiders find a home in other countries. Borders dissolve with migration due to climate change. These earthly changes allow for the merging of cultures and international connections.

Technology, travel, and communication innovate in new ways. The pace of invention accelerates to a dizzying speed.

2027: Wave of the Masses

2027 is known as a Year of Success as long as the masses awaken to the New Era of inclusion, freedom, and innovation. This is a clear-minded, open-hearted, soul driven energy. The influential forces shift from aggression to acceptance and from the pursuit of success to the pursuit of the soul. This doesn’t happen overnight, but the dial turns with more and more people coming on board for the assembly of unity and connection.

Practical Handoff

Saturn moves beyond the Neptunian influence. The constant building up and breaking down of boundaries, structures, and norms gets relief. Unfortunately, it also permits us to stop the pursuit of change. The good news? Jupiter takes the reins of practicality in July, so the practical realities for change get a boost for success with the good luck influences of Jupiter. Things don’t feel so constrained or delayed. Change can happen more easily now.

Quest for Freedom

Resolving the political changes from 2012 – 2015, the quest for freedom gets another burst throughout the year. Enjoying life to the fullest is the best possible outcome. Entitlement and privilege are pressured to flatten out to create more opportunities across the societal strata.

Traditions, legalities, and niceties extend beyond their boundaries. This doesn’t mean rules are thrown out. It means they can be resolved through sweeping change. Reforming within the systems happens unless change can’t happen within constrictive guidelines. Thinking outside the box for innovative resolution is key.

Brainstorming with various stakeholders’ results in creative solutions never before ideated. Having the courage to implement untried solutions gives hope and opportunity where none existed before this time.

Spiritual Awakening

Spirituality continues to make headlines due to being an overriding influence for the year. Connection breeds unity within the inner life and outer world as well as across cultures, philosophies, and beliefs.

The revolution of the 1960’s reaches its full potential now. The last vestiges of oppression, entitlement, and power grabs can be overcome with courage and resolution for the healing for the greater good.

Dissolving borders in every way is finally possible, whether they be geographic, religious, or economic. It requires working together, expanding perspectives, and accepting outlying people, situations, and ideas.

United States 2027

Summary:

Awakening the soul of the nation is still deep in the minds of its citizens. Brave actions and powerful forces serve to bring about the change needed at all levels of government and its supporting institutions.

The pressure mounts on America’s soul karma of alienation and its inability to achieve the promise of inclusion, freedom, and innovation. Tearing down the obstacles and removing the blocks to heal the nation’s karma involves humanitarian efforts, grassroots campaigns, and local organic measures. Building up across boundaries requires honest leadership willing to be vulnerable to its failings to resolve them.

Revolutionaries are geniuses when they bring about the changes that resolve the needs of the greater good. They become vigilantes when they defy the needs of the whole in the pursuit of their own needs.

There’s the chance to transform the nation completely by taking huge risks to resolve differences, either internal or external.

This star configuration brought about the beginning of the end of World War II with the D-Day Invasion of Normandy in 1944. It overlooked the American Civil War in the 1860s. It was even present in the sky during our nation’s origin point, smiling down on the founding fathers as they put pen to paper and signed the Declaration of Independence.

What war will the nation be willing to fight for itself? Will it be willing to risk everything to achieve its soul destiny? Ideals can be hard won or they can further destabilize the tenets this country holds dear. The fabric of the nation is at stake and the stars are conspiring to weave it together.

During 2027, confusion, deception, and delusion vie for the collective pursuit regarding leadership and the future of freedom and inclusion. The pressure to make it real across cultures and philosophical differences gets blurred. Lower energy and lethargy make people step away from change affecting the greater good.

2028 may hold the key to this claim for the future.

Stars:

Choosing 2 points in time during the year, January and July, provides the framework of the larger star configuration influencing the national stars. The summary above was derived by the following star aspects.

January

  • Aries Neptune @ 1° conjunct IC opposite Midheaven
  • Aries Neptune @ 1° in the 4th house sextile Gemini Uranus in the 6th house
  • Aquarius North Node @ 22° quincunx Virgo Neptune @ 22° in the 9th house
  • Aries Chiron @ 20° trine Leo South Node through the 8th house
  • Aries Chiron @ 20° sextile Aquarius North Node through the 2nd house
  • Leo Jupiter @ 27° through the 9th house
  • Aquarius Pluto in the 2nd house

July

  • Aquarius Pluto @ 6° conjunct south Node @ 7° in the 2nd house
  • Gemini Uranus @ 8° conjunct Gemini Uranus in the 6th house

2028

In 2028, Uranus’ power is supportive without excitement from Neptune, so the spiritual awakening energy dissipates and the thirst for change focuses on reformation. The Theme of the Year is Open – to stay open to the possibilities.

For the United States, this is a different story. The world gets relief, but the country does not.

Key Star Dates:

  • Aquarius Pluto trine Gemini Uranus January 13 & May 9, 2028
  • Karmic destiny shift March 27, 2028
  • Aries Neptune sextile Aquarius Pluto June 9, 2028
  • Taurus Saturn square Aquarius Pluto June 23 & November 15, 2028 (last time 2009 – 2010)

The collective soul destiny shifts again into the pursuit of responsibility, integrity and stewardship of its leaders. While healing can provide support, protection, and a deepening into the roots of history, the tendencies of isolation and defensiveness breed overwork and stoicism.

Pioneering Spirit

This energy has been in the world since 1950 and will continue until 2035 coming to exact aspects this year and again in 2029. Challenging the status quo and bringing about change overtakes the spirit of every person alive. Think about it, everyone under the age of 78 years old, as of 2028, has this configuration on their individual star charts.

Deconstructing every belief regarding politics, religions, cultures or genders is in vogue. Healing bias, inspiring honesty, and advancing transformative agendas are the nature of this work. The higher expression involves living up to the fullest potential of humanity and connecting intuitively to the heart and soul to regenerate human consciousness. The lower expression includes addiction, delusion, and unadulterated greed.

Future Outlook

The quest for freedom requires increased responsibility. Reformation is an individual pursuit for the greater good. Each individual striving to ensure their inalienable rights does better when also striving for the rights of others.

The future offers assurance to live your life without hindering interference from outdated rules and traditions. However, institutions must also keep the masses from anarchy, so reformation must include workable structures.

Structural Change

Shaping the fate of the world feels good until roadblocks, delays, and limits are thrown in the way. Prioritizing what needs to change and what’s beyond your control is imperative to achieve the desired change.

Changes for the better are supported. However, change for change’s sake is blocked to reorganize your intentions. Being flexible and reducing the urge to control things that are beyond your ability to control are the keys to prioritizing the right structures to implement.

The costs are high because the resulting rewards are also high. The higher the results, the higher the efforts required to bring them to fruition. Systematizing transformation requires realistic implementations, prioritized resources, and smart investments to turn ideas into reality. This reality hits hard.

United States 2028

Summary:

It’s been 4 years without any relief for America wrangling with the constitutional promises of equity, freedom, and inclusion. This year is no different. The intensity continues. In some ways, it amplifies.

There are big shifts to transform leadership to make it more supportive of workers, unions, and the middle class. Leaders are threading the needle to position themselves in strength and bravery while also demonstrating vulnerability and authenticity to embrace empathy and inclusion.

Additionally, there’s intense pressure on America’s leaders to invoke genius solutions to heal the land and deal with climate change. The leaders are grappling with fierce courage that can spark either peaceful forces for change or all-out rebellion. The difference lies in the possibilities available as outcomes. If there are no positive outcomes possible then rebellion wins.

Rebellious aggression and a leaning toward violence are in the air to create equal civil rights regardless of gender, race, or religion. These two big problems appear to have competing priorities, but they both need to be solved.

The Founding Fathers set up the country with intentionality and the stars supported their measures. With America’s Sun in Cancer and its deepest wound in Capricorn, the nation’s karma involves creating value and worth for all of its citizenry while protecting those in need.

The key is for ‘We the People’ to strive for maturity through responsibility and integrity. Healing the national karma involves healing the greed, exclusion, and entitlement it was built upon. Every layer of leadership must shrug off the temptation for its own privilege without forgoing its rightful stature. True leadership is at stake.

The soul of the nation doesn’t require people to give up what they’ve worked for and rightfully earned. This isn’t about the redistribution of wealth, it’s about creating opportunity for those who aren’t able to create it for themselves. These opportunities still require effort and hard work. Successful actions reward the brave.

The genius for America lies in admitting what’s working and leaving it in place, and more appropriately, admitting what isn’t working and fixing it. These fixes involve transformation at the deepest level. Change is rife with challenges.

America has a history of being able to deal with difficulties with bravery and intelligence. Hopefully, this trend of success continues during this critical time.

Stars:

Choosing 2 points in time during the year, January and July, provides the framework of the larger star configuration influencing the national stars. The summary above was derived by the following star aspects.

January

  • Gemini Uranus @ 8° in the 6th house conjunct Gemini Uranus
  • Aquarius Pluto @ 7° conjunct Mars through the 2nd house
  • Aquarius Pluto @ 7° opposite Leo North Node in the 8th house
  • Aquarius Pluto @ 7° through the 2nd house conjunct South Node in the 2nd house
  • Gemini Uranus @ through the 6th house sextile Leo North Node in the 8th house
  • Capricorn Sun @ 22° in the 2nd house square Aries Saturn in the 4th house

July

  • Gemini Uranus @ 8° in the 6th house trine Aquarius Pluto through the 2nd house
  • Aries Neptune @ 8° in the 4th house sextile Aquarius Pluto in the 2nd house
  • Gemini Sun @ 18° in the 6th house square Virgo Jupiter in the 9th house
  • Taurus Saturn @ 6° conjunct Chiron in the 5th house

January 2029

Believe it or not, the following Inauguration Day occurs on January 20, 2029. It’s tempting to ignore the next presidential election when the 2024 election hasn’t been completed yet. However, the next four years turn up the pressure without relenting. The nation’s deepest wounds, its karma and destiny as well as its very soul are up for review.

The changing landscape involves taking big risks and huge leaps of faith. America’s leaders are being asked to juggle massive domestic change while maintaining its international superpower status.

Making difficult choices and prioritizing resources make difficult problems harder to resolve. Staying flexible and working for the greater good supports positive change.

Key Star Dates:

  • Saturn square Pluto November 1, 2029
  • Aries Neptune sextile Aquarius Pluto May 22 & November 30, 2029
  • Karmic destiny shift September 24, 2029 (same energy as Uranus)

The grand vision of the United States is possible when the leaders work for ‘We the People’. The Founding Fathers comprised the Constitution to uphold the promise of freedom, inclusion, and equity. 250 years later, these promises are under review to see how the country has upheld its end of the deal.

The next few presidential terms are going to be hard won and hard fought. The United States has the opportunity to resolve the fissures tearing the fabric of the nation. High risks offer high rewards and as usual with the United States, fortune favors the brave.

In case you want to revisit any of the 5-part series, you can listen to the entire US election special podcast series.

Conclusion

The New Era is here.

The Waves of the New Era come one on top of the other for the next handful of years. Each year creates energy for visionary leaders, disruptors, awakeners, and finally, the masses.

It’s especially pertinent for the United States and every one of its citizens as the country’s karmic destiny and its deepest wounding is exactly pressed during these waves. The New Era for the nation matches the New Era for the world. America has a chance to represent this time as a symbol of the intentions of freedom, inclusion, and innovations with the additional nation’s influence for equity, rights, and justice.

It’s a good time to be a soul. Happy soul tidings.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

Part 3: Stars and Stripes: Who Wins the US Constitutional Battle?

A few years ago, Pluto began its dramatic 250-year return to the sign of its origin when America was founded. Pluto represents the God of Hell. When Pluto returns to the sign where it began, it comes looking for a fight and wanting answers. This planet brings up the big questions the country was asking when it was founded. Now, Pluto in Aquarius is asking the United States how it has executed its democratic principles.

Pluto in Aquarius begins its 20-year sojourn on November 19th, amid its opposing fight with Mars until April 2025. The US is in for a long drawn-out fight to the finish. In the 2024 election cycle, the US confronts its origins in a never-before and never-again-in-this-lifetime scenario.

Can the stars predict which party comes out on top? Does this fight affect the soul of the nation? What does the future of the U.S. hold after this tense affair?

USA Pluto Return

In February 2022, Pluto in Capricorn at 27° in the stars hits the country’s Pluto near exact at 27.33° on February 21st. That same week, Russia invaded Ukraine, pushing the democratic experience into an ongoing tailspin.

The Western world’s way of life is being attacked by forces yearning for its demise. The United States must question its role internationally, caught between continuing as the ‘world’s policeman’ or foregoing the title for a more isolationist posture. The fight for its place may not continue with open debate but perhaps with violence, threats, and wider conflict.

In part one of this special series on the US election, I wrote, “America’s soul destiny involves stepping into a leadership role on the world stage to build bridges and radiate confidence effectively. It requires finishing old business and avoiding being judgmental, dogmatic, and isolated.

Healing its ‘exile’ or ‘outsider’ energy, utilizing resources responsibly, and resolving the insecurities of its position in the world are required to fulfill the nation’s soul destiny.

Opening to the discomfort of the unknown and embracing complexity to transform like a phoenix is also critical. Rising from the ashes is familiar and America can recover from its recent erosion as a sole superpower. It is also a choice its citizens can decide.”

For a look at the entirety of the USA’s star chart and its mission in the world, read part 1 right here.

If the sovereign rights of nations and their citizens aren’t upheld, is there a democracy in the world worth standing? Given the two-party political system in the United States, how do these parties uphold or violate the founding constitution?

Looking at America’s political astrology chart on February 21, 2022 on its Pluto return adds more cosmic force to the pressure on the country.

Stars: Realizing other stars with the Pluto influence lends additional information, so let’s dive into the key star aspects:

  • Capricorn Pluto in the sky conjuncts USA Pluto at 27.33°
  • Aquarius Mercury at 6°conjuncts USA soul karma and opposes its soul destiny 7°
  • The collective soul destiny in Taurus 26° trines with the USA Capricorn Pluto 27°
  • The collective soul karma in Scorpio 26° excites with the USA Capricorn Pluto 27°
  • Venus and Mars in the sky conjunct in Capricorn at 19 and 20° respectively

Astrological chart showing the USA's natal chart (July 4, 1776) alongside planetary transits for February 21, 2022, with symbols for planets, signs, and aspects.

Summary:

Communication, messaging and thought processes are fraught with new ideas, inventions and original concepts that push against the outsider view and help heal the exile energy to oppose the fiefdom pressure.

The nation is supported by the collective soul destiny in Taurus to increase its ability to help others achieve abundance, simplicity of life, and the comforts of home. There’s also the possibility of calm and peace.

This is good news with the conflict, war, and aggression of this time.

The country is also stimulated by the collective soul karma of violence, terrible events, and the dark side of life. The good news is counterbalanced by this excitement. Unfortunately, the dark side usually wins.

Capricorn Venus and Mars in the sky stir the leadership to attract and repel with intensity and drama.

The last week of February is a mixed bag. In that month’s forecast, I wrote: “Put up or shut up. Something new and exciting or weird and upsetting closes the month.”

Political Party Star Charts

The results of the 2024 election will be heavily contested. Understanding the souls and political astrology of the nation’s rival political parties determines how the outcome shapes the country’s chance of realizing its mission.

At the time of writing, court decisions across the country rattle the sanctity of the election, slowing down vote counting and disenfranchising the democratic process.

Bringing peace to my readers’ minds is my goal, so looking at each party’s chances during the election process against the star chart of the United States can provide insight into the outcome.

There is no limit to the number of political parties that can contest American elections. Since 1860, however, just two major ones: the Democratic and Republican parties, have captured the presidency.

The outsider candidacy of Donald Trump in 2016 challenged this hierarchy. The Republican Party was wholly transformed and personally rebranded into one individual’s singular likeness. For this analysis, the ‘MAGA’ Party will be analyzed separately.

The ‘MAGA’ Party was created on June 16, 2015, in New York City when Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president. The Republican Party has all but been dismantled, taken over by the ‘MAGA’ party, as Donald Trump has elevated his ilk to the fore of the party at every level – county, state, and national.

The political astrology of the parties’ star chart analysis involves 3 parties:

  • Democratic Party
  • Republican Party
  • ’MAGA’ Party (2015-)

Democratic Party Stars

The Democratic Party was born on January 8, 1828, in Portsmouth, NH. It is the world’s oldest political party. Its origins included a platform based on limited government, agrarianism, and workers’ rights.

 Astrological chart for the Democratic Party, dated January 8, 1828, showing planetary positions, zodiac signs, and aspects. The chart includes symbols representing planets and their relationships, with red lines for challenging aspects and blue for harmonious ones. A table below lists the planetary degrees and signs.

Key Star Aspects

For the Democratic Party, the key star aspects of their political astrology are:

  • Capricorn Sun at 17° conjunct Neptune at 15° opposing Cancer Saturn at 16°
  • Capricorn Uranus at 27° trine Taurus Moon at 28°
  • Scorpio Mars at 12° conjunct Jupiter 10°
  • Aquarius Venus squares Scorpio
  • Jupiter at 10°and Mars at 12°
  • Capricorn Mercury at 2° squares Aries Pluto at 4°

Sun & Moon

Sun: The Sun of the Democratic Party is in Capricorn at 17,° with Neptune only 2° away. Uranus is also prominent in the chart at 27°. The 2022 Plutonian return of the United States is in confrontation with the party.

In political astrology, the Capricorn characteristics of leadership, striving for the summit, and standing in positions of power are the core elements of the Democratic Party. However, the typical stoicism of Capricorn is softened by Neptune. Neptune adds a dissolution of the boundaries and always questioning its worth into the central mix of this party.

The Democrats add an opposition of practical reality to its central theme, as well as a desire to master its sense of belonging and connection. The roots of the party and the soul of the nation are the intentions of the Democrats.

Moon: The heart of the party involves the working population and embodies the desires of the common layperson. The center of the party is smoothed out when there are changes, original intentions, and strides toward the future.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The mission of the Democratic Party involves putting women front and center. When the leaders of this party make women feel included, equal, and a critical component to the success of this party’s mission, they create lasting success. The transformative approach is the right one.

In other words, the Democrats can’t step into the future without women at the helm. Women attract big groups and create wealth as well as success for this party.

Challenges

Democrats have trouble clarifying strong messages that resonate with the public. They’re great at negotiating but may give away too much to get what they want. Additionally, balancing the serious with the optimistic requires greater finesse and clarity from the top.

Bravery

Diving deeply into transformative measures brings good luck and success to the party. Bold and strong actions are the best strategy for the Democrats. Women are a key component of the party and part of its soul destiny.

Genius

Standing in their genius necessitates masterfully and sensitively aligning with the soul of the nation. When the Democrats stand beside America and its origins, the party’s brilliance becomes evident. Talking about roots, heritage, and moving forward without losing the founding fathers’ intentions makes the Democratic Party’s genius shine.

Soul Destiny

Deep, transformative healing with bold action and big leaps of faith comprise the party’s soul destiny. Women and their needs are a focal point of the Democratic Party’s soul mission and purpose. This party’s karma involves avoiding complacency, rigidity, and holding on too tightly to being comfortable. Moving into the unknown and unfamiliar brings success.

Republican Party Stars

The Republican Party was born on October 12, 1853 in Exeter, New Hampshire. It began as a radical new idea by a coalition of Northern reformers who opposed the expansion of slavery.

Pisces Neptune in the sky passing the square off at 11° brought trouble in 2021, triggering Uranus in Taurus. Its position, abundance, and practical realities were destabilized. The same star aspect accentuates bold, aggressive moves to put the spotlight on its chosen leader.

In political astrology, Pisces Neptune confuses itself and dissipates its energy. The star aspect doesn’t fortify, galvanize, or otherwise shore up the party’s interests. This dissolution meets a wake-up call in March 2025 and moves through a practical reckoning in 2024. Throughout 2024, the party requires adjustments and fine-tuning. If the party builds structures for unity, it can revive itself. If not, the pressure grinds the party’s ideals to the ground. Complications, delays, and confrontations spilled the party into further fragmentation.

Astrological chart for the Republican Party, dated October 12, 1853, with planetary transits for November 5, 2024. The chart shows planetary positions, zodiac signs, and aspects, with red lines for challenges, blue for harmony, and green for neutral aspects. A table below lists planetary degrees and signs for both natal and transit positions.

Key Star Aspects

For the Republican Party, the key star aspects of their political astrology are:

  • Libra Sun at 19° sextile Sagittarius Jupiter in its own sign at 20°
  • Aquarius Moon square Scorpio Venus at 27° trine Libra Mercury at 28°
  • Leo Mars squares Taurus Uranus sextiles Pisces
  • Neptune at 11°
  • Pisces Neptune quincunx Leo Mars at 11°
  • Scorpio Venus opposes Gemini Saturn with a 4° orb

Sun & Moon

Sun: The Sun in Libra strengthens the core identity into one of diplomacy, grace and the Venusian values of peace and harmony. The political astrology impacting this party’s central theme involves women and their collaborative approach. Short of having women as part of their core leadership, embracing compromise, equality, and justice are the party’s core values. Good luck and success comes when the party realizes its founding ideals.

Moon: The Aquarian Moon at 27° squares off with women and gets smoothed out when their messaging and ideation come in balanced ways. Discerning who and how the party attracts donors, founders, leaders, and key party organizers sparks their future. When they focus on the past, traditional ways, and masculine-only leadership, they cut off their support from women. In politics and astrology, they need women and deep transformative moves to realize their goals.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The soul mission of the Republican Party is to balance the hearts and minds of their voters. When they lead with authenticity and stand as role models for the people, they improve their chances of winning both the hearts and the minds of the public.

Their leaders are filled with courage and grit; with the tenacity to move through challenges as well as inspire their party’s followers. Republicans do best when they remember their roots. Channeling early visionaries like Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and taking bold risks help bring success and prosperity.

Challenges

Balancing unity for the common layperson with courage at the leadership level creates the right approach to overcoming challenges but requires finesse and constant adjustments to support both missions. The Republican Party survives on shocking the public by standing up and defending its core principles, no matter the situation, timing, or politics and astrology. Their legal leaders advocate for the justice the party seeks. Furthermore, when their leaders are drawn from the military, they become role models for the common person.

Bravery

The Republican Party needs brave and authentic leaders to bring them into the future, directly contradicting its core values of peace and harmony. However, success comes from prioritizing authenticity. If the party integrates support from women for their causes and takes bold actions to realize them, they weave their identity into their future.

Genius

Open-mindedness, inclusivity, and dealing with the duality of any given situation is the genius of this party. It’s not an easy energy to leverage, but with the support of women, they can achieve their brilliance. Being rooted in drama or intensity unconventionally helps them make strides toward their goals.

Soul Destiny

The Republican Party’s soul destiny involves opening minds, asking more questions than seeking answers, and being in a state of wonder. Communication is at the heart of this party’s purpose. Stepping away from gurus and shedding dogma and fundamentalism heals this party’s soul karma and brings them the success they desire. Instead of alienating women, they want to fold them into their party’s success formula to achieve their true purpose.

MAGA Party Stars

The MAGA Party was born on June 16, 2015, in New York City when Donald Trump announced his run for President. Just two days after Trump’s birthday, the candidate and the party share a Sun sign.

He is the party. (This is one of the reasons I’ve always felt Donald has an astrologer in his corner.)

Astrological chart for the "MAGA announcement" dated June 16, 2015, showing planetary transits for November 5, 2024. The chart displays planetary positions, zodiac signs, and aspects with red lines for challenging connections, blue for harmonious ones, and green for neutral aspects. A table below lists the natal and transit planetary positions in degrees and signs.

Key Star Aspects

For the MAGA Party, the key star aspects of their political astrology are:

  • Sun in Gemini at 25° conjunct the Moon and Mars at 24°
  • New Moon phase with in Moon in Gemini at 26°
  • Aries Uranus trine Leo Jupiter at 19°
  • Gemini Mercury at 5° trine Libra soul destiny and sextile
  • Aries soul karma at 6°
  • Leo Venus at 10° quincunx Pisces
  • Neptune at 9°

Sun & Moon

Sun: The MAGA party leans on open minds, big ideas, and lots of messaging. The more this party focuses its voice, tone, tenor, and cadence, the better the public can relate to it. Courage and aggression create power, attraction, and value for the party.

Moon: The New Moon phase provides celebrity to this party’s core identity. This star placement indicates new beginnings. Big bold actions move the party into pole position among its established counterparts. The party’s Moon is the most important component of their political astrology star chart due to its placement with its leader’s Sun and Moon.

It will be interesting to watch the eventual future of the party without its leader at the helm.

Other Notable Qualities

Mission

The MAGA Party’s mission, according to the stars and political astrology, is to attract women into its leadership sphere to be innovative and inclusive. The balance of advocacy and activism with diplomacy and civility is a key component to the party’s mission.

Challenges

The challenges for the party involve giving up too much to stick to traditional roles, structures, and methods. Sudden change creates success, but it also brings surprising results. Zigging and zagging provide support in unexpected ways.

Bravery

Opening minds to stay in the state of wonder is the key to the party’s stature. Dealing with duality and embracing big ideas integrates the core identity of the party with its ability to align with the country’s mission.

Genius

This party’s power of transformation must be embraced to realize its genius. Deep, magnetic, and intense drama is part of the party’s brilliance. Additionally, when this intensity involves transformational healing, it produces exponential success.

Soul Destiny

Upholding justice and advocating for the equality of its citizenry is the party’s soul destiny. The balance of advocacy and diplomacy is the key to unlocking the party’s destiny. The party’s soul karma involves giving up its attachment to anger, aggression, and selfish-centeredness. When the MAGA Party drops these attributes, it strives to reach its destiny.

Party Alignment with the United States of America

The Democratic, Republican, and MAGA Parties either aligned or misaligned with the United States during the 2024 election. Reviewing America’s stars through the lens of each of the parties indicates how each entity impacts the future of the nation.

Democratic Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Party’s Capricorn Uranus conjuncts the U.S.A.’s Pluto at 27° for radical changes that can either be liberating or feel out of control in their political astrology. Open-mindedness and flexibility are the best approaches to creating transformational healing. Stubborn resistance is the kryptonite for this aspect.

Shared Destiny: Be brave about healing the issues with women by negotiating with compromise and without giving up the true essence of what you truly desire. Supporting the lineage of the common person is the key to realizing the shared soul destiny.

Republican Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Republican Party’s Taurus Saturn trines the USA’s Capricorn Pluto at 27°, making the agency of government a supportive mechanism for the country’s people. Conservativism, capitalism, and long-term strategies all merge these two energies in political astrology. Positive lasting change can be achieved with these two stars.

Shared Destiny: Realizing a rooted and anchored sense of belonging for families, women, and children is the key to the shared soul destiny between the Republican Party and the United States. Ancestral healing is also a shared component. Letting go of the traditional and institutional structures is an important element in healing this shared soul karma.

MAGA Party & USA Stars

Key Interaction: The Party’s Pisces Chiron squares off with America’s Gemini Mars at 21°to support assertive healing of deep wounds. The country’s unity can be achieved in creatively healing ways and with the power of an open mind. According to political astrology, moving from a victim complex to a hero complex is the solution.

Shared Destiny: Let go of self-absorption or victimization to heal shared soul karma. Be practical, get skilled, and stay focused on the common person. Get down to Earth to efficiently be useful to others. Make the little things and people matter.

Bottom Line

America has its own soul mission and destiny. However, each of the major political parties has its own destinies that may or may not support the nation’s.

Thanks to Pluto’s dramatic return in 2022, analysis of the 2024 election must include the intentions of the United States at its founding.

Pluto asks, “What have you done about it?” Each political party has its answer, and the results matter greatly as we look ahead to November.

Thank you for reading and sharing with friends.

As always, wishing you joy,

October 2024 Forecast: Can You Heal through the Power of Harmony?

October 2024 Astrology Forecast 

Monthly Summary

October: Shifting Positions & The Power of the Middle
Sun signs – Libra & Scorpio
Seasonal energies: Optimize Prosperity
Energetic Element: Water
Overall meaning: What position will the feminine take in the business world? What business activities are feminine? Looking at the big picture, strategy, hiring, networking and scheduling are feminine. It’s a web of big picture, connection and creation.

What are masculine business activities? Planning, producing, goal-oriented focus. Gather your strengths and trend toward the opposite to flow between the two energies.

Shifting toward the middle, solidifies your core. Jockey for stability.

Seasonal Insights

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

Season of Prosperity – August – November; Virgo, Libra, Scorpio

It’s the time of harvest to gain the bounty of your careful planning and powerful influence. Reap your rewards and let go of expectations 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.

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 place, you have a role that’s defined and within these parameters, you harvest to receive abundance for your value and efforts.

Seasonal Business Tips

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 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.

Watch the video on how to use the seasonal energies.

The 10° Sun & Moon in Libra represents fortune and good tidings for diplomacy, civility and harmony. The other stars support and amplify this energy.

The essence of feminine power, united expression and expansive influence comes to the surface, making it available to everyone. Lasting change is here. Shift your focus to incorporate this new way of living and leading into your life and business.

10/9 – Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini in 21 – 11° until February 2, 2025

Jupiter is the amplifier – of more or less, depending on what’s going on in your life. When Jupiter stations retrograde, he brings unexpected ‘blessings’.

These blessings emphasize ways you’ve overextended, exaggerated or been taken for granted. They also highlight your skills, talents and strengths. Over the next 4 months, watch for signs indicating the right pathway for you, once you choose to have faith in yourself.

In the world, Jupiter involves philosophy, cross-cultures, religion, international relations, long travel, legal issues, successful ventures, higher education (high school, college, university, post-graduate studies), dogmatic beliefs, wisdom, relocation, publishing, expansion, travel vessels (airplanes, cruise ships, container ships, rocket ships, missiles) luck, fortune and blessings.

From October through February, inventions require tweaking and solutions require more work to figure out the right ways they benefit the world. Philosophies, opinions and beliefs come under the microscope. Ventures come under scrutiny, travel plans are revisited and legal issues arise.

10/11 – Pluto Stations Direct

The effects of Pluto going direct in the October 2024 astrology forecast can be used for personal growth. Pluto’s direct motion is a powerful period for transformation, empowerment, and stepping into your purpose, particularly if you’ve been doing healing work or addressing deep-seated fears and blocks during the retrograde.

It’s a pivotal moment if you want to channel the transformative energy of Pluto into your business or personal life, aligning your actions with your higher purpose.

Depending on Pluto’s position in your natal star chart, moving through the last degree of Capricorn to Aquarius on November 19th until 2044, creates significant pressure, beautiful healing or both. This energy challenges you to balance your personal power with collective responsibility.

To set yourself up for success for the next 20 years with Pluto, read the published article to Unlock the Hidden Treasure of Success, Power and Love. I show you how Pluto affects you directly.

Star Power

Week 1: September 30 – October 6

You feel like you’re walking on eggshells this week, watching every step to not offend anyone, but also not foregoing what really matters to you. Don’t offend yourself either. Being true to you works when you stand solidly in your power and allow others to come to you. Your attraction amplifies when you prioritize the way you connect and commit to the people in your life and business.

When you’re straightforward and transparent, this is an excellent week for negotiations, contracts and business deals. People trust you when you speak about what lights you up. Being serious, working hard and focusing on the long-term also work for you to construct your best foundation for future growth.

Week 2: October 7 – 13

The week begins with an uplift in mood and energy. It’s a much-needed shot in the arm and everyone wants to take advantage of it. Stay in the flow with your connections by having fun and being light-hearted.

After the fun, go deep and open channels into your soul because as the week continues, this is a time to communicate with the deepest part of yourself. Spend less time thinking and more time dreaming. As you do, you can see how to make adjustments to increase your own value to improve your finances and position in the world. Write love letters to yourself and others to open channels to your prosperity.

This is also a good week for business dealings. Demonstrating your expertise and guiding others to their best version of themselves.

Week 3: October 14 – 20

With the exception of a few days last week, you’ve been serious and careful with your relationships to either deepen your connections or further your success. This focus and attention has required constant adjustments and you may feel fatigued. If this is the case, you’re going to be happy with the stars this week.

The energy gets a boost and becomes social and fun, while also being great for your business success. Be confident about your approach to overcome any blocks to your success. Increase your investments and open your channels for sales and success.

Step out of your comfort zone by opening your heart for more love, creativity and success. Enjoy the lightness of Libra as it will be another year before you get 30 full days of this beautifully balanced energy.

Week 4: October 21 – 27

Intensity, power and depth comes in full and fierce with the influx of Scorpio as she comes to play for the next month. Using your instincts and intuition is the key to operating successfully in this energy.

There’s power when you combine logic with intuition to optimize your ideas. Develop your long-term strategies, make commitment to your plans and take serious steps to make your dreams come alive.

There’s a chance for the unexpected on the 25th. Stay flexible and roll with it. Ask yourself how to get started on something you’ve been putting off for too long. You have the increased desire and momentum to connect with others who can support you to clear the pathway to your success.

Week 5: October 28 – November 1

The week begins with soft and low energy, dives into doubt and stress and ends on a frenzy with busyness and distractions. The best way to navigate this week is in 3 parts:

Mon – Weds: Increase your ability to attract on deep levels due to the slow energy. You may be better able to catch people’s attention.
Mon – Weds: Work on your relationship by spending time alone and focusing on yourself.
Thurs & Fri: The fast-moving schedules push you to shift plans.

Moon Magic

The Moon phases of the 2024 astrology forecast 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.

Full Moon: Limitless Love

Details: Full Moon/Almost Lunar Eclipse Oct 17 @ 7:27 am ET

Mars complicates this Full Moon by squaring off the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries. Lots of aggression, energy and impatience builds and with Mars in Cancer, there’s dramatic posturing, power plays and control struggles.

Families, good friends and business teams threaten to come apart. These are cardinal signs, so new and original ideas, connections and actions are at play. You may yearn for changes in your current connections.

The magic triangle of Pluto-Neptune-Uranus is complemented by another supportive trifecta between Venus-Pluto-Neptune. The common denominator for both configurations is Pluto, who is the major driver for limitless love.

Love is possible when you step into your true desires and your heart’s passions. The key is to dive deeply to let soul level intimacy and shared bonds come together.

The Tarot

When the #29 Healing oracle card appeared, I asked, “How can the stars help with healing in October?” The answer lies in The Tarot card reading for discovering hidden talents, the 8 of Wands.

Eight of Wands – Harmony

This card represents the unifying spirit of balance. It’s a perfect card for the Libra season. You can blend all of your opposite traits and skills into a harmonious whole. Keep your center by bridging each of your aspects.

Be yin and yang. Get ready for the New Era to live in terms of balance and beauty. Harmonizing is playful creativity. Harmonize with others. Life is a dance, listen to the score playing in your soul.

Crystal: Bronzite

A polished piece of bronzite, displaying a smooth, dark brown surface with shimmering golden-brown flecks and natural patterns throughout.

The energy of this crystal is discernment. This is the perfect alignment with Venus, the Ruler of Libra, and her ability to discern who and what to attract in her life.

This stone promotes loving and unprejudiced discernment. It gives us power when we feel powerless. It aligns the mind, body and spirit, providing peace and harmony.

It synchronizes the act of doing and being beautifully. Bronzite was the crystal of 2021 with the Theme of Interface. This crystal gets you ready for the New Era.

Spirit Animal: Lion

A majestic adult male lion with a thick, dark mane is walking forward on all fours. The lion’s intense gaze is focused straight ahead, showing confidence and strength.

Lion represents leadership. As a lion, you’re strong, powerful and dignified. You’re a natural leader, curious and love to be part of a group.

Call on lion when you want to recapture your self-respect, need to regain your feeling of power or need to complete a complicated project.

Flower Essence: Olive

A large, ancient olive tree with a gnarled trunk stands beside a stone wall on a rocky path. The warm glow of the sunset illuminates the landscape, casting soft light on the tree and the surrounding area.

In October, the ancient feminine wisdom filled with joy, magic and power is the key to this flower essence. This flower essence adds energy to the core masculine and softens the edges of the feminine. 

Overall, this flower essence restores vitality and joy while providing a refreshing energy. Olive helps hit the reset button, providing spiritual and physical rejuvenation.

Move from exhaustion to inner renewal with this flower essence as olive works its magic to open you up to yourself and tap into resources provided by Mother Earth.

Your inner guidance is recalibrated and your ability to achieve pace, strength and renewal is activated and integrated into your being. (This is the same flower essence as recommended in September.)
