Wondraing…… The Milky Way is said to be one of billions of galaxies in the observable Universe. It contains between 200-400 billion stars, the one most familiar to us being the sun which science says is middle-aged at 4.6 billion years. The oldest star in the galaxy is 13.2 billion years old – said to be nearly as old as the Universe itself (13.8 billion years) – and the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. These are all scientific best guesses. Distances are measured in light-years, and the Milky Way galaxy is believed to be 1000,000 light-years in diameter. The enormity and vastness boggle our minds and challenge our imagination yet give us a placeholder for where we fit in all this.
Consider this perspective, and we can see how we view our world as limited or limitless. We can remain small, overwhelmed, and myopic or let go of this view in favor of seeing and accepting a bigger picture and all the possibilities. If we believe we are composed of material from those very stars that inhabit the Milky Way, we know we are connected to Earth and the entire Universe at all times, in life and death….. and we are not very small or limited.
We share energy in this immense place as we are energy with all. We are forever preparing, avoiding, or experiencing energy shifts as energetic beings. We’ve been working hard, shifting, clearing, and transmuting our energy fields in preparation for ‘something’ different. Many can feel the shift of the energy; we feel change because we are energetically connected.
2024 is a BIG year.
Pluto moves into Aquarius and will be there for the next 20 years. Saturn in Pisces will continue to remind us how we experience reality, where we feel resistance and the rules we choose to abide.2023 was the year of the rabbit and a ‘Seven’ year, and 2024 is an ‘Eight’ year and the year of the Dragon. We move into the energy of ambition and action-oriented powered by the possibility of dynamic growth-obsessed Dragon energy. The universal ‘Eight’ year brings us closer to completing a 9-year cycle in 2025 and preparing for a Universal year of ONE in 2026. Fierce determination will be required as we continue navigating the energies of shifting systems that highlight the need for change while questioning our role and power in influencing our personal change.
I’ve created TWO end-of-year podcasts to explain the overall energy and the individual impacts of 2024. I suggest this in preparation for the year ahead.
- Get clear and serious. An 8 Universal Year brings many opportunities to expand and reach new heights. You can also expect to be driven out of your comfort zone, forced to step up, or get stepped on!
- Take your goals seriously in the 8 Universal Year. If you don’t have goals – create them.
- Take time to align more directly with your authentic calling in life. If you don’t know that calling – find it.
- Step into the year with your heart and mind open, willing to learn new navigation skills that combine your mind and heart. Learn your energy fields as ONE system that, when your Physical, Etheric, Emotional, and Mental bodies all work together, helps you face change, challenges, and success on a higher level.
- Know the constant is change as existing systems, structures, and concepts soar to new levels of success or disintegrate while new ones take over.
- Take control and be your authority. Lead yourself. It is a year of individualism. Individual – individuate – and individualism will be terms we hear and energy the Universe pushes in 2024. Be a strong individual who can contribute healthily to humanity.
We are one with the Universe. Created from Stardust, here, as humans, we experience our soul journey and know that our actions, emotions, and beliefs impact us and others. Our sensitivities to energy and the energy of others will ebb and flow to support and challenge us as we continue to evolve. Most important.
Shine your light and let the world see your brightness Be blessed. ~Laurie
