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. 🌷
