2023- September – the Gateway to Fall

Posted by Laurie on

With Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto all retrograde – it’s a time of inward processing, understanding, and release. September’s ascension energies will continue to clear and enhance our nervous and endocrine systems. Recent shifts and the illumination of the two full moons of August brought awareness of our disharmonies, patterns, or issues, and we are processing them now. Some have revealed how we may unconsciously feed our fear, limitations, scarcity, and misery. Where might you blame external energies for your beliefs or actions/non-actions? Our higher senses become heightened during these internal processing times, and now we are wondering/wandering what the next stage of our life purpose or focus is.

September is known as the ninth month. However, September’s 2023 collective numerology carries the number seven vibrations of self-awareness and inner wisdom. The energy of seven also holds the vibrational energy of integrity, truth, alignment, and faith. September boosts the opportunity for spiritual evolution and intuition. As we become more introspective, it creates growth.  

Understanding yourself – is growth

Challenging your old patterns or beliefs in a new light – is growth

Aligning yourself to this new understanding – is growth

Practicing the energy of introspection and intuition – is growth  

As the days grow shorter and the Sun’s warmth mellows, the ascension energies swirling around us begin to integrate more calmly. With the arrival of a new month, we step into the sacredness of September, a time of subtle shifts and harmonious alignments.

This month, Cosmic shifts carry a distinctive and assertive energy, urging you to respond to a clear and resounding call to action. These movements propel you towards taking decisive steps and embracing a proactive approach to your goals and aspirations. In parallel, the cosmic shifts direct your focus inward to explore and redefine your core belief system and life philosophy. This inner exploration prompts you to examine the foundations upon which you build your perspectives, values, and understanding of the world and question if they are valid.

On Sept 22 – The transition into Libra season and the fall equinox brings the theme of finding equilibrium/balance within your divine mastery. This energy will highlight a more profound quest for balance and harmony in relationships and within yourself. The Sun is descending, marking a pivotal moment of equilibrium between light and darkness as we move into the fall and winter months. This creates your portal for how you want to be in the world. Things to ponder in the time of retrograde, slow down, shifts, and resets.  



September is a great month to reflect and set intentions that are now aligned or have become clear. Get organized and prioritize these intentions. Embrace and welcome the change that happening. Create a routine that supports you and has space for the universe to drop things in. Be present with your energy, and internalize what your energy is or isn’t. Don’t wish for more or less, but be aware of where it is or isn’t and what creates and uses it. Learn, practice, and develop any areas you want to improve, shift of change, and whenever possible, align yourself to the positive energy available to you. 

Shine on  In Gratitude and be Blessed.  ~Laurie

April – Blueprints for a different future!

Posted by Laurie on

April is the fourth month of the year; however, the collective numerology of April 2023 carries the “number two” vibrations of duality, harmony, balance, and inner peace. It also holds the rhythmic vibrations of cooperation, trust, and faith and connecting with your higher being to understand more of your divine purpose. 

It’s a month softer yet infused with more energetic magic and challenges that will feel intense and invigorating to others. It’s a month of initiation. A Full Moon in Libra on April 6 will help balance the intensity of the leaving March energy with balance, harmony, and beauty. It is a month that will allow us to seek meaningful connections and relationships with those around us. We enter Mercury pre-Retrograde begins April 7, giving us a precursor of what the energy in full force will feel like after the Solar Eclipse.

The Solar Eclipse is on April 19 in Aries, and the sun moves into Taurus four hours after the peak Eclipse, providing more opportunities for new beginnings and profound transformations. This Eclipse reminds us to be agile, flexible, and welcome change. Taurus season begins April 20, and the full force of the Mercury retrograde begins April 21. The bull will want to push forward where we don’t feel secure, stable, and comfortable, but April’s retrograde and energy will remind us to be in Flow vs. Force. April is another initiation month for our emotions and mental bodies to align. We begin to put pieces together and have visions of the potential outcome. We WILL evolve, but evolution is more straightforward when we are aligned and follow a plan. It requires trusting in the universe and remembering that challenges can be hidden opportunities. 

Where March may have showed us where we most needed changes to our relationships, homes, communities, careers, or things we needed to leave behind – April pushes us forward on a path we might need a clearer vision of. The universe will provide a more precise path and plan, provided we are open to it and wait for it—more flow vs. force.  As humans, it is normal to want it all NOW, and we may feel frustrated if we have to wait, but we are building stamina and stability for our future selves. Use creativity, play, and joy to build a better future, and remember, in doing so; sometimes you need to wait for all the pieces. 

Remember our connection with nature and all the pollinators, asleep and waking, ready to work hard to create stability for the season.  Earth day is April 22. Nature nurtures and teaches us.(photo: creating butterfly and bee homes for my yard/gardens)

March 2023 – Pluto and Saturn make their move!

Posted by Laurie on

For lifetimes our ancestors and astronomers have looked to the skies for direction, tracking, and inspiration. We’ve studied the stars and the planets. We’ve built practices and ceremonies around them, like new and full moon celebrations. But we continue to learn. Pluto changes signs every 20 years and Saturn every 2.5 years. BOTH are changing signs in March. Pluto moves into Aquarius and Saturn Pisces.

Pluto was discovered in 1930, so it has a short history of its impacts, but we do know that the last time Pluto was in Aquarius was between 1778 and 1798, a period of uproar and change all over the world. Pluto is about death and rebirth, and it’s been in Capricorn for the last 20 years. Here’s a simple map of how it will transition into Aquarius while still bouncing a bit back to Capricorn during retrogrades:

The dates of the transition

  • Pluto in Capricorn until 3/23/2023      The Archetype of I HAVE vs I KNOW
  • Pluto first in Aquarius: 3/23/2023 to 6/11/2023
  • Pluto back in Capricorn: 6/11/2023 to 1/21/2024
  • Pluto again in Aquarius: 1/21/2024 to 9/2/2024
  • Pluto back in Capricorn: 9/2/2024 to 11/19/2024
  • Pluto finally in Aquarius: 11/19/2024

The universe gives us time and space to move into this energy – but it WILL impact all of us. Listen to my PODCAST that will explain more about the energy of these TWO outer planet shifts. Listen

Saturn moves into Pisces on March 7 and stays there until May 23, 2025, when it enters Aries. Saturn has been in Aquarius since December 2020. Saturn in Pisces is our chance to get clarity around our most profound dreams and those areas of our life that come to a natural end. Pluto will help with those endings. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. While Pisces is not ending energy for everyone, there is nevertheless an expectation of bringing to the highest degree of manifestation some of the projects we’ve been working on for decades. 

Saturn is karma, shadow, and pushes us deep for lessons and learning. Pisces is comforting, wise, and artistic, sometimes making us feel fuzzy or floaty. What might this energy mean for us? 

Saturn is cold and dry, and Pisces is watery and emotional. 

Saturn is strict, and Pisces is soft. 

Saturn indicates subtraction, Pisces addition. 

Saturn (lack) and Jupiter (abundance) 

It is and will continue to be a time of internal and external change. When forces externally change, it pushes us to change our responses, view, and, most importantly, our beliefs. When the planets are in their normal forward motion, there tends to be more external change – society, community, and global. When the planets go retrograde, the universe gives us time to respond to those changes – reflect, review, and respond once we are in forward motion again. 

March will show us where we most need to make shifts and changes. World events will force the movement of populations, responses to global needs, and different planning for future needs for housing and food sources. Individuals continue to look for their communities for these coming changes. I will share more insights this year on how we and our world will change and how we can navigate the energy of change.

July 2021 – Freedom, Practices and Decisions

Posted by Laurie on

This word means so many things for many people—the freedom of our country, speech, equal living and working environments, choice, and more. Our evolution is pushing us to explore where we feel restricted or roadblocked and to MOVE those restrictions. Our quest for better alignment in our relationships, careers, health, education, political and judicial systems are top of mind as the Universe gives us gateways to a better future… if we make changes. 
It’s the summer of ‘gateways’ that will open and close for many until the processing time of the retrograde season is behind us and the last Eclipses of 2021 are complete. Could 2022 be a new frontier for you? That might depend on what you are learning now, letting go, and allowing in. The Universe has many good surprises ahead for us – when we are ready. 

So much of the energy (retrograde) is about shifting our plans, so at the beginning of October when most the planet are back to their forward movement, so are we ready to move forward. Most of the forward motion is deciding to rid ourselves of anything that creates ‘drag’ in our path. Things that are slow or slow us down make us feel edgy to just-get-moving, when the Universe is saying, you-might-need-a-better-plan-first. Delays can be frustrating, but you’ll be more aligned and ready when the Universe provides the perfect timing. 
It is what it is, but it will become what you want it to be.

This month we again have the opportunities to work with the healers of Peru. Want to kickstart your summer? Infuse your energy as you move into the second half of 2021? See below opportunities to work with the powerful healers.

May 2021 Musings

Posted by Laurie on

If I were to put in a few words what we might be feeling, they might be ‘Let’s get going, ‘What next,’ or ‘What now.’ On the heels of Pandemic fatigue, the green buds of spring, and pushes from the stars, we are ready for change, and we will see changes in ourselves, those we interact with, our communities, and our environment. It’s impossible not to change after these transformative past few years. The question we all seem to be wondering is, are we done? Honestly, we are just beginning.  

Since 2017, I’ve been watching and talking about how the Pluto transition creates this mammoth window of change. Pluto is about death and rebirth and the opportunity to create something better. It’s an outer planet, like other outermost planets that we acknowledge in astrology like Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Neptune. It will impact our external systems, like our education system, judicial system, our financial industry, healthcare, environment, infrastructure, and the structure of what we know in our communities. Change in these areas will impact us as we adjust our emotions, and our mental processes and filters shift to match our new experiences. The stories that we long held as truth are no longer truths. We struggle to find the absolute truth and the foundation for a way forward.   

Over the United States, Pluto doesn’t hit a 0-degree point until 2024, so this means we have more change ahead.  How we approach changes will matter in our experiences. 

Pluto will be retrograde from the end of April until early October. This retrograde allows us to take what we are experiencing in our outer world and internalize, sift, sort, and embody personal changes. This time is about understanding our internal power, our divine light, and doing something different with it. When Pluto moves direct again in October, we will be ready to take those newly found internal truths out into the world. Taking what we are experiencing external in the world and changing internal – that cycle of internal to external will continue to the pathway of change. I’ll cover more about this opportunity window in my May 3 Podcast.  

Some simple tips on how to navigate change
– Develop practices that support you – exercise, healthy nutrition, music, meditation, activities that you enjoy
– Develop your circle of support – people that vibe at the same frequency that you do
– Look for the changes as an opportunity to learn, change or shift, or assisting others in the process of change
– Trust the soul knows the path
– Be aware of your personal coping tools as they may need to change
– Ponder yourself – your emotions, your thoughts, your beliefs, why you do what you do
– Work on healthy communication – not all talk but also effective listening
– Participate in change that will make a difference in tomorrow.

March 2021 Forward

Posted by Laurie on

In March 2020, I wrote that 2020 would be a pivot year for many people’s beliefs, processes, and systems that just weren’t working anymore. It was going to create space for us to decide what our future might be. Most of us continued to pivot. Most of us continue to shift and review what matters to us most, what goes forward with us, and how to ‘march’ forward. Evolution is change whether we want it or not. This time last year, we were in the infancy of change. None of us could predict the level of change we’d each experience. We’ve worked hard to define our new normal, and now with spring upon us, we feel the sunset of the darkness of last year and winter and the sunrise of 2021, and the emergence of the soul.

This month gives us wonderful opportunities to advance, flourish, and move forward as dreams begin to bloom. The number “3” vibrations of March represent the Holy Trinity of love, life, and wisdom. It marks the beginning of synthesis and the reconciliation of the body and mind connection fused by spirit. March’s motto is “I believe, I am that I am, therefore I create.”

The clouds and feeling stuck are clearing, and we feel the pressure to move forward through doors that are now aligned with our soul’s blueprint. March is where past, present, and future collide, bringing us to the start of a brand new astrological year and spring equinox. (Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac) All this amazing energy signifies a time where creativity and new life are high. When opportunities come your way this month, will you freeze in fear? Will you fight change? Or will you fly and trust that a higher power is leading your life to new places? Each moment you are given a chance to make a new choice and alchemize the emotions of fear. It’s up to you to seize that chance.We are wrapping up old cycles and beginning anew.


This energy will help you clarify what has happened in the previous months and what you should be doing next. You are being called to step up and embrace your calling by letting your higher self-lead the way. March marks a massive transition and turning point that alters our current foundation. We can no longer repeat the same stories. We came here to create new stories, inspire love, and live freely.The realization of a higher power within has set in, and we understand we will never go back to the way things were. That way of “normal” no longer exists. We are responsible for that new beginning and adopting a clear vision to build a new world. Are you ready to take that leap forward?

December – Gateways of Winter

Posted by Laurie on

Gateways of Winter Eclipses, Winter Solstice, a final full moon and entry to 2021.

How do we hold still and embrace the uncertainty of the dark – of the seemingly uncultivated periods of our lives?  

Winter Solstice: the time that T.S. Eliot called ‘the still point of the turning world.’ A time to hold still, right there in the heart of the dark. A sacred pause, in the place between stories. It is the day with the least amount of sunlight in the year and marks the point where we begin to add minutes of daylight each day until we reach peak hours of sunlight in June. Winter Solstice is the festival of lights, is a time of renewal. It’s a time to immerse ourselves in the cycles of nature: of death and rebirth, of darkness and light. It’s a time to think about change and transformation, our inner voice, inner knowing, and a path forward. It reflects where we have been and a decision of what to leave behind and what to carry on. It is the reminder of our resiliency and unfaltering instinct when we trust our inner light.  

How appropriate that we end 2020 with the Lunar Eclipse on November 29, the Solar Eclipse on December 14, and the Winter Solstice on December 21. December 21 is considered the next “Age of Aquarius” moment when Jupiter and Saturn meet for the first time in millennials, at 0° Aquarius. What are the chances to have the two slowest moving visible planets of our solar system meeting precisely in the 1st degree of Aquarius? To many, this marks the official beginning of the Age of Aquarius. We’ve been feeling this energy since 2000. You can listen to my latest podcast – The Age of Aquarius – Looking Back and Forward, where I talk about the previous ‘Ages’ and what the Age of Aquarius represents. 

The Age of Aquarius will come with a completely different “operating system” – something we haven’t seen yet… at least in the last 26,000 years. The codes and keys that we’ve been receiving from the universe prepare us for this time and future.  We can expect new types of energies during this new Age (for the next 2100 years). Other likely developments are artificial intelligence, space travel, and connections with other forms of life. Because the transition from one Age to another is usually 200-300 years, we have already begun to experience advances in these areas. New types of energy are not solely alternatives to oil-based fuel but advances in our understanding of quantum physics and the use of energy for healing and regenerative capabilities. 

This era of ‘WE’ ahead calls for us to be more humanitarian while realizing many souls are still holding on to the archetype energy of ‘ME’ first. Aquarius is the most global sign of the zodiac; it rules networks and communities based on a mutual vision. In the next 2000 years, top-down practices, hierarchical cultures, or extreme political doctrines will be challenged. Some souls will remain in the past, and others will move into a new era of being. We will continue to try to bridge the gap in our world views. 

We push through the gateway on December 21 with the force of Saturn and Jupiter and the potential for something new.
Jupiter pushes on our search for personal meaning, our philosophy of life and purpose, optimism, hope, and a sense of justice and striving for spiritual growth. We are questioning who we are and what we are doing here, and if what we are doing here is enough. Does it make us happy? We feel greater frustrated if we perceive we are not evolving. We will push ourselves for change, get scared of the change, and either retreat or move forward.  

Saturn shows how much self-discipline, our strength of character, and your responsibilities. Saturn shows how we experience “reality,” where we meet with resistance and discover our limitations. It represents the conscience and moral conviction, the laws, and rules which we choose to obey. It also tells us about our powers of endurance and concentration.  
Transitioning from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius challenges us to heal and change our beliefs and patterns. 2020 hindsight creates the opportunity for reflection while giving us hope and clarity for a way forward into this new era and 2021.  Shine ON! – Happy Holidays

November 2020 – All Eyes On Us

Posted by Laurie on

The world is watching us; more importantly, the Universe is watching us.  
2020- an election year, another year of karmic healing, and a year where timelines feel like they’ve been thrown out the window. Things we planned for have had to pivot, and we continue to shift and redirect to this unexpected energy. Most feel confusion, fear, and chaos swirling around as we now move into the last two months of 2020. Usually, this is a time to reflect on our experiences and our ‘wins’ of the year. We feel hope, optimism, and begin the planning process for our ‘wins’ for the year ahead. But 2020 has paved a path of doubt, caution, and fear, those emotions in themselves become roadblocks for our future. November’s gateway of 11:1 through 11:11 is a crucial gateway of redirection, reassessment, and redefining. Interesting that this falls in the election timeframe, but for us personally, it will provide forwarding clues. The Universe is watching, encouraging, and responding to the energy we are transmitting. Waiting for our next vibrational command. Are we aligned to our heart and humanity, or something else?

Has your vibrational command been one of love, calm, peace, hope, and trust in the future, or has it been more along the spectrum of fear, anger, frustration, and hopelessness. We all need to turn up our lights and shine. Yes, PLEASE VOTE, but the Universe is asking for more…. SHINE YOUR LIGHT. Get back to a place of community, humanity, and collaboration. 
What do you usually do when the spotlight is focused on you? Do you hide or take the opportunity to show the world true-you? Instinct can sometimes push us to hide, but the energies’ reality is that hiding, avoiding, or disappearing is no longer an option. The Universe is watching, and the spotlight is on us. Wherever you are, there you are, and whatever you were dealing with or avoiding is also right there with you. The Universe is expecting change. Sometimes you won’t even know you belong until you get there. It’s been and will continue to be a time of trust that you are on track. 
 Shine ON!
