2024 is a year of personal and global awakening. As a collective we have had enough time to process the experiences of the last 4 years and know our Hearts. A glimmer of the much talked about Aquarian Energy is here. But where exactly? Within each our Hearts. We are the seed people of this new dawning of consciousness. We will look at both the Harmonic and Disharmonic ways that could express on all levels.This is further illuminated as Pluto makes a permanent ingress into Aquarius until 2044– though there is one last short retrograde into Capricorn from September to November. This is a huge energetic shift and a major passage of time on the cosmic and Karmic Clock. We’ll look at what this may mean for our Planet.Jupiter and Uranus will have an expansive conjunction in Taurus during April, sending waves through the whole Planetary body, heart and mind.
In May, Jupiter enters Gemini, the sign of Technology and Messages from the Unconsciousness. It’s the first time since 2012, when the Mayan Calendar marked the initiation into a New Age of Being. The Mayan’s spoke much about the passage and quality of time from 2012-2025 ~we’ll have a look at this too.
The Karmic Nodes of Fate will hold steady in Aries & Libra giving us time to heal old relationships and cultivate a new way with the Masculine. This is supported at an Aries North Node Conjunction with Chiron in February- Opening Our Hearts.
We will also experience 4 Eclipses (April/May & Sep/Oct), 3 Mercury Retrogrades– though the year starts on the last day of a 2023 retrograde’s ending. And, we will be stepping into the year of the Wood Dragon on Feb 10. The Dragon is related to Aquarius and the Planet Uranus. So this will give an extra boost to the Spiritual Awakening and Evolution that Age of Aquarius is starting. Jai Ma!
The planet Uranus will be delivering lightning bolt calls to awaken. For those on the path our job will be to stand in our illumination and use our own path of our Soul’s Purpose to help others awaken too. Let this be a year of illumination.
Learn about greater cycles of time that are now unfolding that are referenced by the Greeks, The Yogis, The Mayans, and the Lakota. We’ll also cover the quantum physics and evolutionary states of consciousness and how these transitional events will play out for each. We will share tools and practices that may be helpful to navigate these unfolding energies and times. And, we we will look at the astrology of 2024 through 2025 and beyond.
We talk and present the workshop in common language. There is no need for any prior knowledge of astrology to attend. All are welcome to watch 🙂

“The Only Constant Is Change.”
Nov 15 – Dec 15 ~ The Cosmic Download
“The Only Constant Is Change”
The astrology of this full moon cycle is a bellwether for the coming year of 2025. Some radical shifts and changes are afoot in the cosmic energy and will have long-lasting impacts. By long-lasting, we refer to the Astrological Age of Aquarius—a 2000-year cycle of time and consciousness. The events and energies playing out on the world stage are churned by these more profound cycles of time. The Yogis, Mayans, Lakota, and Greeks (to mention just a few) all knew of and spoke about these great shifts of consciousness.
The unstable and chaotic cycles of the last 12 years were foreseen and considered highly probable for the world. As 2024 closes and 2025 is on the horizon, we realize that, as a collective, we are already in the midst of a radical shift in consciousness and awareness. While distressing and world and local events may occur, we are highly optimistic about the evolutionary changes in consciousness that will result from this shift. So… our mantra is: “The Only Constant Is Change.”
It all starts with the Taurus Full Moon on Nov 15. Taurus energy is our values, and the moon is our ability to self-love and integrate our emotions, desires, and perceptions into balance. This is not a simple request but an essential one. Learn to know the True values of the Soul and not just the temporal ones of the personal-self.
Pluto enters Aquarius on Nov 19 for the final ingress and will stay there until 2044. While this happens in 2024, it is the most significant energy for 2025 and beyond. Pluto changes signs about once every 20 years and was last in Aquarius from 1777 to 1798. Pluto is the Soul and currents of the collective unconscious. Aquarius is evolution, revolution, and innovation. This is coupled with the changing of the Great Ages (The Yugas in Sanskrit and Precession of the Equinoxes in Astronomy) from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. We are right amid the massive consciousness shift and Pluto entering Aquarius will likely mark a radical change in our awareness to this New Age. Pluto is also the power of profound transformation, death, and rebirth.
The Sun opens the astrological month of Sagittarius from Nov 21 – Dec 21. This marks the last month of Fall and directs our awareness toward Trust, Truth, Faith, Vision Quests, and Mother Nature.
Mercury in Sagittarius will go retrograde from Nov 25 – Dec 15. Along with the New Moon in Sagittarius on Dec 1, the Sun, Mercury, and the Moon will be grounded in Sagittarius’ energy. The retrograde will be a review of Truth and this not objective truth, this the Truth of the Soul. What is Eternal, and What is not? Don’t get stuck in the changing truths and facets of social reality, and turn to your intuition. Mother Nature is a beautiful way to connect now in this dark season of late fall.
Mars in Leo goes retrograde from Dec 6 – Feb 23. The best expression of Mars energy seeks Truth and opening the heart. In Leo, we are being asked to find Love. Not just for some but for all. Mars retrograding here says, “Love everybody and tell the Truth.”
Saturn and Neptune have retrograded since late June and will turn direct on Nov 15 and Dec 7, respectively. Neptune represents our Spirituality and Unconditional Love, while Saturn represents our Karma, Dharma, and Cosmic Law. There will be some profound changes in the spiritual and social fabric. During all this change, it is best to attune to the unchangeable—your Spiritual Heart, which the yogis call the Hridyam.
The Gemini Full Moon and Mercury Direct will be on Dec 15 to start the holiday season. See you at the Full Moon 🙂
