As we rest in the liminal space between ending 2025 and entering 2026, we are completing an intense year of dramatic deconstruction and reconfiguring. This is a space of integration, allowing what you’ve learned and experienced to guide you, while regrouping as needed to prepare for the coming year. Align your consciousness with your current and future reality, while taking impeccable care of yourself.

Although we’re entering a new year, we’ll shift into high gear on Feb 20, when Saturn and Neptune meet at at 0º Aries, the beginning of the zodiac. With Saturn and Neptune still currently in Pisces, there is more cleanup, endings and dissolving in process. Trust the timing of your experience, as a Divine plan is at work and your job is to align your Inner Guidance with practical actions that support your Evolving Self and your life.

Dec 27 – Mercury trine Chiron. With Mercury in big picture Sagittarius, you may experience awareness, inspiration or insights via Wounded Healer Chiron, calling for you to live from your truth, integrating anything that blocks you from pursuing your desires.

Step 1 is discovering the truth of Who You Are (vs. your conditioning) and there are many layers to this. Mercury-Chiron in harmony can reveal false beliefs that limit your thinking, self-permission and self-expression, so be open to the messages and possibilities that Mercury in Sagittarius wants you to see. Every awareness opens a new door and is like wearing a new pair of glasses; the world changes as you see through a new lens.

A few days later, Mercury makes challenging aspects to Saturn and Neptune, the two planets left in Pisces that can can either structure and transcend 3D, or delay and confuse you until it’s “go” time. Your mental processes are under construction, available for an upgrade this week. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover blind spots that you’ve been operating through. Maybe you’ve been playing smaller than you are…

Dec 30 – Mercury square Saturn. You may face a delay or setback today. A conversation can hit a wall, so given a choice, have important communications or handle paperwork either the day before or after this. You may feel contracted or pessimistic re: a decision, plan or the future or it all seems like hard work.

Higher expressions are taking responsibility for your thoughts, words and perspective, remaining steady during a challenge, making a difficult but necessary decision or strategic planning with a realistic timeline. Maybe you don’t get everything you want right now. The purpose of delays will be revealed later. You’ll see.

🎉🌟Happy New Year! 🌟🎉

 

Jan 1, 2026 – We have two expressions of Mercury in one day and they are radically different. Early we have Mercury square Neptune and later, Mercury moves into Capricorn. 

Mercury square Neptune. When you’re at the effect of it this nonlinear energy can generate confusion, melancholy, disillusionment and low vitality, but you can shift it by utilizing it deliberately. It fuels creativity (as audience or creator), supports spiritual practices, rest, leisure and being in nature. You can daydream, journal, read or write poetry, dance or do a sacred ritual to welcome your New Year. Your mind can transcend 3D reality and that’s the point.

Open to your imagination and see what comes through. No matter how far-fetched a message, idea or a dream may seem, it’s for you, otherwise it wouldn’t be in your consciousness. Stay open to your dreams and allow yourself to play in the higher realms. This is the final Mercury square Neptune in Pisces, the most creative, experiential sign in the zodiac. Have an artist’s date, let your mind wander and nourish your spirit.

Mercury in Capricorn. This is a reality check; what is and isn’t working? Outdated projects, systems and structures have to go or be revised. It’s time to plan and make practical decisions in order to see desired results. This is perfect for intention-setting, making a To Do list with the steps required to accomplish your goals. You can adjust as needed going forward, as adaptability will be part of the skill set needed to thrive in our evolving world.

Mercury in Capricorn asks you to embody your Authority and mastery, rather than just ambitiously seeking the spoils of success. In your Authority, Self-trust is paramount as you come from your center, rather than seeking feedback from others for validation. With mastery, your knowledge and proficiency isn’t performative, you transmit a world you know deeply, a language you speak fluently and a universe you invite others into. What a gift that is to the world, whatever your path.

Jan 2 – Chiron Direct in Aries. When Chiron turns Direct it’s about operating as your Self with courage and compassion, rather than diagnosing what’s lacking, missing or needs healing. Be willing to live your truth and honor your will, aligned with your heart and soul. You are needed on board as the truth of who you are, no more hiding; show up, be bold and be real. This is a spiritual practice for 2026.

The Sun in Capricorn requires responsibility for deciding where you place your energy and attention and what is outdated as you move into the next leg of your journey. Trust the endings, they will be followed by new beginnings that will crystalize as we move through 2026 and you will be amazed by what comes through you.

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

We’re in a sacred portal like never before, with energies from 3i Atlas, an interstellar consciousness that is said to deliver extremely high harmonizing frequencies to our planet as it comes closest to earth all weekend. Some sensitives can tune into it, while most may feel the effects of it without knowing why they’re happening or what they are. Your nervous system and consciousness is your antenna, so just notice what you notice – and if you don’t notice anything, all is well. 

 

Dec 19 – The New Moon in Sagittarius @ 5:43pm PST is on the Galactic Center (center of the Milky Way) offering an opportunity to upgrade your “wisdom files” (ideas, beliefs) via powerful cosmic frequencies. Be willing to reconsider your beliefs and open to greater possibilities to make the most of this alignment. Allow your vision to broaden via a wide-angle, multi-faceted, high definition lens to create a new landscape and reframe any lower meanings you assign to life experiences in a higher light. You have the power to rewrite your story as you evolve your perspective, love yourself and envision a bigger picture.

 

New Moons indicate new beginnings, and this one contains planetary energies that ask you to expand, release and reorient, that can create a quantum leap forward as you complete one cycle and launch the next. The goal is to stretch forward in alignment with your Authentic Self, as opposed to staying in an old comfort zone that no longer enlivens you. 

 

Sagittarius speaks to Higher Truth, the meaning of life (and everything), long journeys, adventure and expansion—it wants to go and grow, with new possibilities fueled by high ideals. Visionary Sagittarius utilizes Truth for inspiration and guidance, which is subjective and can change and evolve. You may have long-held beliefs about yourself, others and the world that are calling for deconditioning—the release of autopilot to examine if you are still fully aligned with those ideas in our rapidly changing world. 

 

Allow yourself the spaciousness to stretch in consciousness beyond your old familiar template into the next expression of your Self with the wisdom you’ve gained over the past year. You’ve been through a lot and you’ve learned so much; now is the time to integrate that knowledge into your future, as you keep the faith.

 

The New Moon squares Neptune @ 29º Pisces (where it sits from late Oct ’25 – late Jan ’26), dissolving what is no longer viable. It can be a blissful dream, spiritual attunement or disillusionment and exhaustion. As you see shadows of people, institutions and principles you have believed in, you may feel disillusioned, confused or doubtful about what is true. If so, Neptune is loosening your attachment to a perspective, which is an opening. Sagittarius wants to do something and Neptune may not have the vitality to support it right now.

 

This energy is really calling you within where spiritual practices, meditation, rest and stillness will serve you.

Writing your intentions can be a healing, productive action to help with clarity and focus. Speaking your truth, living your truth and expanding in some way are all aligned with this New Moon. So is tapping into your wisdom, which is experiential. You know things now that didn’t before; don’t diminish what you’ve learned. 

 

The New Moon also squares Saturn, highlighting structures that you’re ready to create, are in the process of building, or that require repair, revision or a complete overhaul. Commitments are Saturn’s domain, so weigh what you’re committed to and what you are willing to commit to for the long term. Shaky structures have been challenged for a while now and this highlights decisions – what is worth your energy moving forward and what can be released. Attune to Neptune/Pisces energy to feel what is right for you within the alchemy of expansion, higher frequencies and discernment, as you let go of what is obsolete. 

 

Dec 21 – The Winter Solstice @ 7:03am PST. The Sun enters Capricorn and it’s a quiet time for withdrawal and reflection as you honor the Return of the Light. You can cocoon during the longest night of the year in stillness and allow yourself to incubate in the profound frequencies that surround you. Attune within for peace and integration as you gently release the old with gratitude and envision your evolution in 2026. Don’t be afraid of the dark; it is where the magic takes place.

 

Venus square Saturn. Venus is your quality of life—relationships, $$, style, pleasure, creativity and how you value your Self. This can be a time for reassessing a relationship, where you feel you’re not being valued or perhaps financial decisions must be made. It may be that you need to uplevel your Self-love, as thinking you love yourself and really embodying it are two different things. One is theory, the other is experiential. Do you treat yourself in a way that is loving and fully present? Just a check in. All the other issues are usually an out-picturing of your level of Self-love or worthiness. 

 

The Sun in Capricorn invites you to embrace your mastery and step into your Inner Authority, as you decide what will get your attention and energy and what to eliminate. Not all at once, but this is the path of vows, discipline, and methodical actions that create progress. More on this later, but it is focused work that creates your future and builds self-esteem, as you manifest that which you commit to. 

 

Dec 24-Jan 17 – Venus in Capricorn. This Venus appreciates responsibility, seeking what and who is real, as well as who does what they promise. Commitment is primary, no players need apply on any level with this one, who is not impressed by flashy demonstrations. Agreements must be kept. Security creates comfort. This is a practical Venus who desires simple pleasures, shared goals and ambition. It’s a wonderful  for goal-setting, practical decisions about $$, wardrobe, style, manifesting or monetizing your creativity.

 

Venus enters Capricorn on Christmas Eve, making it the perfect time to focus on what’s really important, rather than how many gifts, how fabulous the display, how big the celebration. This energy promotes your most important relationships and it honors your long-held traditions, however you celebrate the holiday. 

 

Align with what inspires you and hold it in your heart, as you practice surrendering old attachments that feel heavy or outdated. Trust the endings, as you are being led into new energies that will crystalize as we move through 2026. Stay awake to recognize and receive the messages and signs meant for you, as they will assist you on your path of evolution and awakening.  

 

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

This week is an energetic crescendo, leading to a cluster of events that will seed awakening, purification and offer gentle blessings that impact the collective consciousness. Together, the New Moon in Sagittarius (Dec 19), interstellar object 3i Atlas closest to earth (Dec 19), and the Winter Solstice (Dec 21), create this sacred transmission that will carry us forward. This will be a three day period to turn inward and align with your Higher Truth, recognize patterns that need integration and open in stillness to grace. 

Dec 12 – The 12/12 Portal is an energetic gateway that spiritual light codes come through to dissolve and transmute dense energies. Your nervous system may be activated in ways you can’t explain. Nature is grounding. Water is soothing. Quiet is peaceful. Going within is spacious. Open your heart via your preferred modality and recalibrate as needed.

Dec 13 – Mercury sextile Pluto. This can be a profound realization, a strategic communication, an insight, investigation, awareness, problem solving or a magnetic connection. Significant info is likely revealed or discovered by you or another. You could have a deep conversation that transforms an issue. Great for focus, sustained connection, intensity, seeing what’s unseen and it supports healing work.

On a higher level, your mind can realign to accommodate new frequencies, the modified landscape and changing structures you face on a daily basis. Pluto-Mercury can shift your perception, thinking and processing. Mercury in Sagittarius is expansive and Pluto in Aquarius is innovative, which aligns with sound & light healing, neurofeedback or binaural beats with headphones. These all support brainwave processing to uplevel your functioning and relax your mind if you’re interested. Or you can meditate to be more receptive and grounded. 

Dec 14 – Mars square Neptune. This can lower your vitality or you drift through your day, and the square implies a lack of motivation, confusion or disillusionment regarding a direction or action (doubt). Maybe you start out with a plan, but find you don’t have the energy to pursue it or now you don’t think it will work. This is a good time to rest or do half as much in twice the time. Don’t push the river—or yourself; it will be counterproductive. 

On the other hand, Mars square Neptune is perfect for spiritual practices and moving via Wu Wei, flowing around obstacles. Trust your intuitive guidance, as you may be led somewhere unexpected that becomes an Artist’s Date, a space for daydreaming or just meandering. Give yourself space.

Dec 14 – Sun trine Chiron. This is an aspect of Self-acceptance, compassion and clarity about your identity that you may have lacked previously, or maybe it’s an evolved identity—a new You that now you fully recognize. I invite you to embrace your Self, your creativity and Self-expression, your big Light and all that you are, as you are. You continue to be in development as long as you are alive. What an adventure…

 

Dec 15-Jan 23, ’26 – Mars in Capricorn. Fiery Mars is exalted in methodical Capricorn, making the next five weeks an ideal time to focus on plans and what you want to accomplish, especially for the long-term. This strategic energy aligns with a structured process, organization and clear goals, perfect for bringing inspired ideas into form and the commitment to see them through. This is adulting at its finest. 

Dec 16 – Sun square Saturn. Just like Mars squared Saturn last week, the Sun in Sagittarius is impulsive and ready to act on inspiration, whereas, Saturn has rules & regulations and in a square can create delays, rejections or obstacles. What can feel like a letdown is really a training in patience and delayed gratification, forcing you to regroup and stay engaged as you do the needed work or create Plan B. Remember, “No” isn’t always the end—it can mean “not now” or “more info is needed.” Things only end when you give up or let go. You decide. 

Dec 18 – Venus trine Chiron. Heart healing, amends, Self-love, compassion—viewing life through the lens of the heart will elevate your frequency and flood your system with happy-inducing, healing neurotransmitters and hormones. And it feels so good, for you and everyone. Offering unconditional love is a spiritual practice, one that will change your life and will change the world. 

There can never be too much love and compassion in your heart, for you and for all, personally and collectively. This is especially aligned with forgiveness, as there is always a wound behind an unforgiving heart that is calling for attention and integration. 

Try Ho’Oponopono: 

I’m sorry. 

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you. 

If you require more support than this, please find it so you and they can be free. The pain is too great to carry and life is too short for you to live with this burden. It keeps you from fully living as the magnificent Being that you are. 

Dec 19 – New Moon in Sagittarius @ 5:43pm PST. I will write more about this next week, but think about your New Moon Intentions this week, as we’ll have the New Moon, 3i Atlas and the Winter Solstice all converging, creating a container of rebirth on a level we have never known before. 

As old systems crack, crumble and eventually dissolve, the 3D world can be chaotic, but it’s all in service to the big picture and the new world that is being birthed. You can choose to believe that Goodness is on the way to envelop us with higher frequencies that will facilitate the creation of a vastly different world. 

Free will allows for skeptics to remain in fear, doubt and pessimism, but that mindset will never create a beautiful life or world for them. Not until they are willing to reconsider and open to new possibilities. 

Your thoughts and words have power, so focus on what you desire and stay open to possibilities. ‘Tis the season, more than ever… I want to be part of a happy, loving, more connected world, living in community with care for all. Decide on the world you want to live in and how you can contribute to creating that reality.

Know that you are in the midst of perfect unfolding for you, momentous change, possibilities and potential. Every step of the way, you’re being prepared and trained for what you are here to do next. 

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷

This week marks a turning point, when Neptune at 29º Pisces Stations Direct for the final time in our lifetime. The Station amplifies the effects of Neptune’s nonlinear, spiritual, dissolving energy at the final degree of the zodiac, where it’s been since late Oct and will remain until late Jan ’26. 

 

This creates endings that are delivered via energetic waves washing against old paradigms, slowly, subtly eroding what was once solid until it ends, leaves, you release or surrender. It reshapes your life if this touches you personally, and it affects us all via the collective consciousness and our global experience. 

 

Although Neptune Stationing Direct is the backdrop this week, Mercury’s on the move with with four aspects and then it changes signs; an energetic shift and lots of activity for The Messenger and Ruler of the mind. It begins this weekend with two harmonious aspects that support your big picture thinking and practical plans, all in flow. A gift from the Universe!

 

Dec 6 – Mercury trine Jupiter. Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter Rx in Cancer generate positive, purposeful thoughts, visionary ideas and plans with integrity. Trust your judgment, schedule dates, make connections and share your truth. This can be the “easy button,” when things line up just the right way, without heavy lifting.

 

Also, this is the third meeting for this duo (due to Mercury Retrograde), so likely something is being discovered, revealed or recognized (Mercury in Scorpio = detective). You can often feel what’s out of alignment before you have info with water signs, as intuitive prompts and emotional intelligence is strong. Trust your gut, allow your mind to support your fact-finding, and open to new possibilities.

 

Dec 7 – Mercury in Scorpio trine Saturn in Pisces. This creates the framework for the ideas and plans you’re envisioning, as you prioritize, organize, make decisions, commitments, agreements, contracts and deal with authorities or the powers that be. Paperwork. Forms. Legal documents. Saturn thinks long-term, ready to do the necessary work and Mercury fills in the details. 

 

Dec 8 – Mars square Saturn. Mars is impulsive and inspired, whereas, Saturn requires a grounded plan and in a square, can create delays or obstacles. Trust in the timing and make any course corrections. You may have skipped a step or need to tweak your approach.

 

Dec 10 – Neptune Stations Direct @ 29º Pisces. This is the finale of Saturn Direct in Pisces until Jan 26, ’26 when it ingresses into Aries for the next 13 years. This Neptune position is associated with endings, loss, dissolution and saying farewell to what was in a deeply felt way.

The high expression of Neptune Direct is awe, spiritual attunement and intuitive guidance, imagination and visioning a future that transcends the mental heaviness of 3D life. New celestial bodies that are incoming (such as 3iAtlas and others) are said to be bringing harmonizing energetic fields and creating bliss states (I’m paraphrasing). 

 

There’s lots of speculation about what’s to come, but 2025 has been a year of profound undoing. Embrace your dreams and bless the endings. You don’t have to know more than you know. Be open to incoming messages and have faith in the mystery of life.

 

Dec 10 – Mercury opposite Uranus. This is another repeating aspect and it goes to unexpected info, changes, a curveball or sudden shift. The purpose for the change of plans, decisions, direction (or whatever) is liberation, an upgrade or greater freedom. Stagnant energy calls for a shake up.

 

If you’ve felt boxed in, you may be ready to break out and try something new. This will offer new circumstances or info, so be flexible and see how this can benefit you when the Messenger (Mercury) opposes The Great Awakener (Uranus).

 

Dec 11 – Mercury trine Neptune activates that within you that is seeking greater meaning in your daily life. Attune to your dreams, your intuitive guidance and create space for multi-dimensional awareness today, as messages may come via creative endeavors, spiritual practices or other right-brain activities. Open and be receptive to what comes through for you. Communications with others may be more effective, as receptivity is in the air. 

 

Dec 11 – Mercury is in Sagittarius again after being in Sagittarius from Oct 29-Nov 18, then Retrograding back to Scorpio, now returning to Sagittarius until Jan 2, ’26. It went deep to investigate in Scorpio and now it brings that knowledge into the future for an informed perspective.

 

This is the inspired energy of possibilities and enthusiasm that arises when you are plugged into a vision that’s genuinely real and meaningful to you. Mercury in Sag can be philosophical, political, religious, a seeker, committed to ethics or a social cause, a cheerleader or a zealot. It has a genuine desire to connect, explore and/or impact others, so if you have a project or belong to a community or group that  uplifts or inspires you, that is ideal. 

 

Remember that you are in the midst of a perfect unfolding for you, momentous change, possibilities and potential. Every step of the way, you’re being prepared and trained for what you are here to do next. Take good care of yourself so that you are available.

 

I am grateful for your presence on our journey together. 🌷
