March 2023 – Pluto and Saturn make their move!

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.

February – We are Vibrational Energy – the Vibration of the Heart

“Everything in Life is Vibration” – Albert Einstein

The Law of Nature states everything has a vibration. The Law of Vibration states that everything vibrates and nothing rests. Everything is made up of atoms that are in a constant state of motion, and depending on the speed of these atoms, things appear as a solid, liquid, or gas. These layers of energy create our physical being, but we also have layers around us that comprise our energetic, emotional, mental, and astral layers. There are studies of the interactions of these energies, including when they clash.  

“From the standpoint of quantum physics, as we examine every smaller particle of matter – people made of cells, molecules, atoms protons/electrons, quarks, etc. – we eventually reach a state of reality where the smallest particles of matter, when broken further, do not yield smaller particles which we can put names on, but rather a universal energy matrix of relationships of vibration patterns. In actuality, there is nothing solid in the universe at all. Consciousness itself is a vibration pattern.” ~Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, D.C., B.F.A.– Center for Neuroacoustic Research.

We vibrate at varying frequencies, and we also have conflicts of energy with other frequencies. 

When you feel irritated, it’s an off vibration, either yours or the other persons. It’s vibration, and YOU have the power(vibration) to shift it. We are awakening to the understanding of how vibration works and how all is connected through a vibrational network.

If you want to manifest(create) something, vibrate to that frequency. There have been studies of the human form and its impact on vibrational energy documented as early as 1928. The Buddha said, “anything that arises in the mind starts flowing as a sensation on the body.” If everything vibrates and vibration affects our life and our physical bodies, and we manifest based on those vibrations, how can we attract what we want in our life? 

Vibrations of the same frequency resonate with each other, so like attracts like energy. As human energy, our vibration creates and magnetizes like frequencies to us. When we focus on a particular thought or idea, it will eventually attract its vibrational match. Vibrational matches include both high (happy) or low (sad) frequencies. 

The strongest vibrational magnet starts with your emotions and how you feel about something. Whenever you are transitioning to something new or different, your emotions are releasing, expanding, and evolving. You may want to use the help of other vibrational frequencies to keep your emotional vibrational energy high. Music in the frequency of 432Hz works at the heart chakra, “the feeling,” and therefore could influence the emotional change in any situation. 432Hz is our actual heart frequency and, thus, can contribute to creating a sense of balance. 528Hz, according to Dr. Leonard Horowitz, is believed to have the ability to heal damaged DNA. It is also the Earth vibration, so a vibration of 528Hz grounds us to earth and all her natural healing abilities. There have been scientific leaps in understanding vibration. Studies in this area continue as science becomes more interested and evolves in understanding the impacts of energy on the physical bodies, emotional and spiritual bodies. 2023 is another LEAP year in Acoustic Technologies TM.

February is a great month to focus on emotions from the heart. Venus will move through Pisces into Aries in February reminding and illuminated for us, what we believe about our heart and relationships. The full moon on Feb. 5 will illuminate areas of the heart to either clear or expand. The full moon is in Leo, with an archetype of ‘I WILL.’ This energy is about also sexuality and eroticism, creative expression, and you’ll feel the force of proving to others ‘I WILL’. Address any illumination to areas of truth, things you’ve not wanted to admit, or the world to know. Free this energy so that you can focus on the pure vibration of the heart, and the real things you want to manifest in your life Love to all of you – from the higher dimensions of joy, bliss and continued balance of truthful love. Here are a few reminders to help you let go:

  • Let go of all thoughts that don’t make you feel empowered and strong.
  • Let go of feeling guilty for doing what you truly want to do.
  • Let go of the fear of the unknown; take one small step and watch the path reveal itself.
  • Let go of regrets; at one point in your life, that “whatever” was exactly what you wanted.
  • Let go of worrying; worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.
  • Let go of blaming anyone for anything; be accountable for your own life. If you don’t like something, you have two choices, accept it or change it.
  • Let go of thinking you are damaged; you matter, and the world needs you just as you are.
  • Let go of thinking your dreams are not important; always follow your heart.
  • Let go of being the “go-to person” for everyone, all the time; stop blowing yourself off and take care of yourself first … because you matter.
  • Let go of thinking everyone else is happier, more successful or better off than you. You are right where you need to be. Your journey is unfolding perfectly for you. 

New Moon on Feb. 20 is in Pisces with the archetype of I Believe. It’s a time to believe in yourself, your actions and how you can be more present every day. To hear more about the planetary and energy influences of February list to What’s Up with the Energies of February

January 2023 – More Shift

Wondraing…… The Milky Way is said to be one of the billions of galaxies in the observable universe. It contains between 200-400 billion stars, the one most familiar to us being the sun which is believed to be 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 100,000 light-years in diameter. NASA continues to explore space. I find myself at times mesmerized by the images of space. The enormity, vastness and beauty are mind-boggling and challenge our imagination, yet this gives us a foundation of where we fit in.

We choose how we view our world. We can remain small, overwhelmed, and myopic, or we can choose to see opportunities and 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 small or limited at all. In space, as systems die off, others are created. 

When we understand we are not separate from what is ‘out there’, but instead, we share energy, we realize the infinite possibilities that the universe demonstrates for us. The universe shows us beauty and dreams without limits. Only we put limits on ourselves. We put limits on our ‘bigness,’ we draw boxes around our possibilities until it ‘seems’ more logical to what is visibly present in our lives than what might be possible.  What if we could see beyond those boxes we’ve drawn? How far would we dream, soar, and join THAT space of vastness? What would that feel like?   



We are preparing for another significant energy shift. Mother earth experiences this increase in energy and frequency first to support us, followed by plants, animals, and humans.  We’ve been working hard, shifting, clearing, and opening our energy ports, expanding our energy fields in preparation for ‘something’ to come. We’ve worked hard on our emotional bodies and aligned our mental processes to healthier emotions. We worked at changing our practices to align with those mental processes and new belief systems, and we are now preparing to externalize them in the world. We are surer. We know more about what we want and what we want to be a part and how important that alignment is for us. We seek for life change to be in an aligned being—body, emotion, mind, and spirit. Many can feel the shift of the energy in the air, the change in our energy fields. We ARE energy and have discovered it is easier to live aligned. We have found it painful to be misaligned. It’s time to build a future based on an aligned being. For most, 2023 will be the year of ‘going for it’. Dream big and build big in 2023 – and certainly LOVE big.

Listen to my latest podcast to learn what’s up for 2023.

June 2022 – Sun of Summer

June will continue to be an eye-opener for us, and it’s not going to be the easiest month. We want to play, enjoy the weather, while the universe pushes us in an ever-changing direction. What will help us this month is remembering that these energies are prepping us for a large upshift in creative consciousness that will require strength and courage to move forward. 

June is the sixth month, with the collective numerology of June 2022 being the number “3”. The energy of “3” carries the power of: 

  • Self-expression, Fertility, Wisdom, Harmony, Creative power and Unseen energy

In Laurie’s May 23rd podcast – Universe Codes and Keys from Solar Flares and Universe Portals, She talked about how Solar storms create an energetic portal that allows rapid energy travel between dimensions of two distant locations in the universe, for example, from the Sun to Earth. Portals can bring life-changing transformation with the opportunity to experience a conscious awakening, limitless possibilities, higher wisdom, and increased levels of love and understanding. They are a tremendous opportunity to align with the universe’s energy and manifest abundance. This summer, we access the Sun’s energy and possibilities to change. The universe is persistent that we change and why it does not feel like the easiest month. Reality is glaring before us, and we can’t avoid shifting. 

Anytime we receive new coding from the universe and release the old programs, we need time to integrate. In software development, you test for bugs and issues and resolve them before going live. In our human experience, we need to do similar. Test for bugs, make corrections, and become familiar with these new pieces of our being before we show them to the world. Most of this integration happens naturally during the retrograde season, which we are entering now. Still, it’s a bit unnatural as it’s summer, and we want to be outside, in the Sun, exploring and experiencing, when the energy may be anchoring us more to internalization.

You don’t want to sleep or be numb during this fantastic growth period. As you are leveling up a few things to remember on how to make productive use of this energy by:

  • Letting love in
  • Emotionally detoxing
  • Spending time connecting with your passion and purpose
  • Connecting deeper to your intuition, inspiration, clarity, and truth
  • Purifying the body through exercise, drinking fresh fruits and vegetable juices, smoothies, water, and tea

We always have the balance of the forces. Look for that, see it, embrace it – the universe isn’t going to hang you out to dry as you go through many transitions. It is time to get clear about your values and beliefs to make choices that will help you stay true to who you are.

You’ve done all this work in preparation, now, trust the process and know that your frequency, clarity, and state of alignment are the most powerful things in your life that you have to create.

Mantra: My focus is present because today, I begin my tomorrow. 

Call in Archangel Michael to help with change, courage, strength and alignment of our Soul. Shine on -💖 Laurie

May Spring and a time to Grow Something New

The pounding started early this morning and woke me from my ‘sleep-in-morning.’ My fuzzy brain tried to tune into where the sound was coming from. Perhaps a neighbor was getting an early start on a backyard project, or was my deck crew returning to fix a few spots?

Walking down the hall, I realized it was coming from the upper level at the front of the house. As quickly as having that realization, I came to eye level with a robin tapping the window. He’d fly into the window, sit on the ledge and tap away. Now my fuzzy brain cleared with the encouragement of two loudly meowing cats to SAVE THE ROBIN. I grabbed the extendable brush used to dust that second-level window; today, it would be used to scare the robin away.  My thoughts now moved to: what reflection might he see at that window – there are no trees that would create an inviting place to land. Perhaps a spider in the corner of the window he was trying to reach? I quickly swept across the 6-foot span of glass to clean away that possibility. Was this robin mad because there was no birdfeeder this year, was he trying to scare the cats, was he sick, or just confused about this plate of glass in his way? Was it a message? My mind was problem-solving at a rate pretty fast without any morning caffeine.


SAVE THE ROBIN! Talk to the robin and encourage him to leave. He was persistent. Using the extended pole with a huge fluffy bright blue brush on the tip, I’d scare him away. He’d fly down to the bush outside the front door, where I’d then go outside and wave my arms to get him to fly off into the trees. But a few minutes later, he’d be back. This continued most of the day. I’d scare him from the second-level entry window with the big brush, go outside and wave him away from the bush…. and finally, he stopped and flew away. The problem-solver in me continued to process and wonder. Was it a sun reflection and the sun had come up enough that the angle of something attracting the bird was now gone? Was there a spider or bug on the inner ledge that I’d cleaned away? Was he just a juvenile robin having some morning fun, or did he deliver his message? Was he to be the content of this newsletter or clean that six-foot window?


My pondering brought me to a place of all the possible solutions it could be. From the moment I woke from the tapping sound to being totally awake after running up and down the stairs dozens of times.Our brains are marvelous things that we don’t think about the work it goes through. It automatically shifts into solutions and possibilities while taking in the environment. In the absence of an answer, it creates one while still assessing what it could be. We feel uncomfortable without a solution or result. We want to know. We push for answers until that twinge of unrest is satisfied. A world with an overwhelming unknown can create stress, anxiety, and sometimes depression; for some, it pushes you to check out and not engage.


Robins are synonymous with Spring. Robin energy means east, new beginnings, the rising of a new day, and a time to plant seeds. It’s a time to let go of anything in your life that’s stagnant, outdated, or simply no longer needed. Share your songs-messages with the world. My message for you is – It takes more than just planting seeds. They require focus, nurturing, and care. Be curious about all the possibilities of this changing world. Change can be uncomfortable but also necessary.


On April 29th, Pluto goes retrograde in the sign of Capricorn. This transit lasts for about five months and can illuminate any issues we have in our habits, patterns, and relationships, especially when it comes to the point of power. Pluto was here in 2019. The archetype of Capricorn is ‘I USE,’ so it creates the opportunity for us to question our life and any skills we have or desire to have. Plan for some ego struggles in this timeframe – death and rebirth, so you have to see it to shift it. Pluto retrograde can be a spiritually rewarding and transformative period, and it could be some things we didn’t learn coming back to give us a second shot.


The Solar Eclipse in Taurus on April 30th creates an energy flow that can be felt for up to six months. The archetype of Taurus is I HAVE. So this includes matters related to personal finances, values, ownership, physical and material resources, personal possessions, feelings of worthiness, desire for safety and security, resistance to change, comfort, sensuality, and familiarity will be a strong focus on a personal level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding and strengthening our sense of security in all these matters. It is time to re-evaluate our relationship with money and possessions and discover what makes us happy and fulfilled. It may be time to consider new ways of increasing our income or earning power and taking charge of our possessions and finances.

Concentrate on what to do to increase your feelings of self-worth. Get in touch with what you value and want in your lives—end things or situations that do not contribute to your feelings of worthiness. Have courage and trust your wisdom. It takes more than just planting seeds. Grow something new!

April 2022 – Review and Renew

March and Zodiac sign of Aries is the beginning of the astrological year. It is spring in the northern hemisphere when we welcome the first day of spring, the return of migrating birds. We feel spring fever and long for days of warmth and sunshine. It is the time of year that the Universe urges us towards new beginnings and assessment of our past only as we create space for our futures. It is a time of renewal. The world is at a time of needing ‘NEW.’


When I was born, I had a plan, purpose, destiny, but I had no idea what an adventure or challenge life would bring. I had no idea the beautiful people I would cross paths with and those that would provide those valuable learning opportunities. I had no idea this love and support would surround me on my journey. I had no idea how I’d travel, see, learn and then again find that sometimes I’d want to be home by the fire, curled with a book and a fur baby on my lap. I had no idea the Universe would both challenge and gift me with experiences that would fill my life with immeasurable richness and challenges of the world that tugged at my heartstrings. But each day, when I rise, I acknowledge how very blessed I am.   March, for me, is a natural time for me to assess my life. The Universe is pushing us to be present and experience life at a slower pace with fewer distractions, which is difficult when things around us seem to be busier, more chaotic, and certainly faster. It feels we have to focus more on the present and all moments that exist now. Present-day, we are redefining the work environment, our playtime, and what is essential.  


When we are unsure of the future, we assess our lives more. The reality of what was important in our 20’s is not the same when we are in our 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, or beyond.  What is happening in the world impacts our presence in our lives and what and where we focus. We are looking at our visions and dreams for what our future might look like. How do we want to use our senses, emotions, gifts of intelligence, and spiritual wisdom for our life, and where can we contribute to the world for what the world needs now? We are becoming more aware of our actions on ourselves and others. We are becoming more aware of what is most important.
If you find you are struggling with the present energy, create space for the Universe to show you what you need to do or what might be next. Focus on flow vs. force by allowing more space with less rigid planning. This chapter of change we are in will continue for quite some time, and to become as peaceful as we can with change, is to find peace within. Life will force us to be responsible, focus on our actions, and support each other, but we can balance the pressure with more time in nature, more meditation, music, laughter, rest, quiet time, and doing things that help bring joy to self and others.  
Just a reminder of the dates of the upcoming eclipse season. Eclipse season urges and reenforces change. The solar eclipses will signal newness, and messages of the drive forward, while Lunar will bring emotions and illumination or changes to what we think we should be doing. If you are feeling I should begin or stop doing…… then that answer will become clearer for you as the year continues. 

  • 04-30-2022 Partial Solar in Taurus – Taurus is about money, possessions, property and values
  • 05-16-2022 Total Lunar in Scorpio – Scorpio is joint finances, debt, transformation
  • 10-25-2022 Partial Solar in Scorpio
  • 11-08-2022 Total Lunar in Taurus
  • 04-20-2023 Hybrid Solar in Aries – Aries appearance, image, self-identity
  • 05-05-2023 Penumbral Lunar in Scorpio

March 2022 – Perspectives

Many of us may be feeling sadness in our hearts that we’ve lost heart connections and relationships with others. Others have mentioned this sinking feeling of numbness of the overwhelming pressure of the world, potential war, recession, and global impacts. It’s a year of relationships and adjustments. The relationships we have with ourselves and others. A continued time of learning how we and others ‘are’ in the world. Seeing things from a different angle can often turn a situation into a completely different scenario. We all look at the world through different eyes, sometimes we may need to try a little harder to see the world with someone else’s view. The universe will always deliver those opportunities to test our view with the purpose of shifting our perspective to be different. It’s time to be different. 

In the Medicine Wheel, East is the direction that represents new beginnings, springtime, and the place before birth and of birth. It is where we begin anew, over and over again. When you find yourself in the East, you can be sure that something has ended and that you stand on the doorstep of a new beginning, whether you want to be there or not. This March, we stand facing a new beginning. It is the best time to identify, illuminate and clarify, seek vision and inspiration, and locate your unique path. Each time you need to understand a situation in your life, you will return to the direction of the East. As you stand in the East, you face the West, which is the direction of healing and learning from your experiences. The universe encourages us to use our past to direct us forward. You may not understand what you are looking at, or what you’ve experienced. First, it may feel shrouded in darkness, but illumination will come when you begin to pay attention to everything in your physical, emotional, and spiritual being. Clarity can come, just like the season of spring and movement from darkness to light. The universe will illuminate our path. It urges us to take one step at a time and view it from a different perspective.  

2022 powerful Eclipse Season is soon upon us. Solar (Sun) is masculine mental energy, while Lunar(moon) is feminine emotional energy. Taurus archetype is ‘I HAVE,’ and it reminds us to use what we have, acknowledging where you are and what you have – home, security, or things that make you feel secure. It reminds us to be present. Scorpio’s archetype is ‘I DESIRE.’ It is a time to reflect on misalignment with what we have and what we desire. The universal energy to manifest what is missing or out of alignment. We have about 18 mos. of this dance of what we have and desire. We can expect changes, or nudges to change leading up to the Aries eclipse in 2023. What we think we should have, or should be doing, pushed up against the reality of what is. This will not be a ‘feel good’ time for some, but it is meant to helps you align to our soul and not the human experience of false expectations and unachievable visions. It is the soul-reality.  

The solar eclipses will signal newness, and messages of the drive forward, while Lunar will bring emotions and illumination or changes to what we think we should be doing. If you are feeling I should begin or stop doing…… then that answer will become clearer for you as the year continues. 

  • 04-30-2022 Partial Solar in Taurus
  • 05-16-2022 Total Lunar in Scorpio
  • 10-25-2022 Partial Solar in Scorpio
  • 11-08-2022 Total Lunar in Taurus
  • 04-20-2023 Hybrid Solar in Aries
  • 5-05-2023 Penumbral Lunar in Scorpio

We are energetically standing in the direction of the East right now, and our action is to be alert, pay attention, observe how you are here before you rush forward. Observe what is ending or needs to end and equally what is created. Look to your experiences to understand where you were but remember this is an opportunity for you to start new resides.

February 2022- Year of the Water Tiger

As a kid, my parents made cross-country road trips, and I’d follow along on the Rand Road Atlas and shout out how many miles until the next city or how far the drive was until we got to our destination. It taught me math lessons, understanding directions, and earth time to distance. I love maps and a good road adventure, and 2022 appears to be providing us with a different type of Road-Trip. 
The universe has maps. Planets and star systems are maps. Many systems follow these maps and cycles: Astrology, the Mayan, and Chinese calendars, Numerology are a few examples. The ancient wisdom keepers looked for and followed natures methods that help direct or explain our path. There is a natural progression in any map. 


Have you ever found yourself flipping to the end of the book to discover what happens? Do you want to skip ahead and get to the end without experiencing the journey? As humans, we sometimes desire to know the outcome or skip to the future, believing there should ALWAYS be a happy ending. But sometimes, it’s not about the result or the end at all. It’s about the journey. 2022 will be a year that takes us on a new journey. There is no skipping to the ‘end’ as this is a year of beginnings.


Those born in 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, or 2022 are under the sign of Tiger. The element for 2022 is water, and the flow of water will help balance the Tiger energy. This Water-Tiger energy will impact all of us. You can listen to Laurie’s overview of The Year of the Tiger.


The Tiger represents energy, strength, protection, altruism, leadership, purposeful, respect, revolutionary ideas, vulnerability, sensitivity, selfishness, overestimation, and an all-or-nothing attitude. It’s a year to jump into something new or a project/plan you’ve been dreaming about. This energy is telling you to take action. Be thoughtful about your actions. Think before you leap, speak or act, but do act.  


Is The Year of the Tiger Lucky or Unlucky? The Tiger is, on the whole, a lucky sign! No matter what situation it finds itself in, the Tiger always finds a way out. Tigers are born leaders. In 2022 many will be asked to step into the role of leader. Last year, the year of the OX was slow and methodical. 2022’s energy has an intensity and increased pace. We’re working on changing our internal response systems and beliefs, and 2022 will provide plenty of opportunities to explore our personal growth. Year of the Water-Tiger with Pluto Return – here are a few things to watch out for in 2022 – Laurie covers them in more detail in her podcast. Year of the Tiger.


1. Emotional Drama – opportunity to adjust our mental processes around emotions2. Passion & Intensity – motivators for life3. Potential of Scandal – discovery of truth4. Original Thinking – new ideas and inventions5. Heightened Intuition – take a new class, or practice inner knowing6. More Luck – need to watch for it7. Whirlwind Romance – 8. Increased Creativity – great for projects9. Leadership – being called to lead with actions10. Burn Out – watch self-care, stress reducers


Lucky months in 2022 will be March, June, November. I’ll follow where the planets, eclipses, gateways, and retrogrades fall. Tiger, Dog and Horse will experience greater opportunities. Lucky colors are red, green, black, and yellow. It’s a good year for relationships, either starting or solidifying those already in our lives. If a few years of isolation, we are hungry for companionship and connection. It will be a challenging year for some, especially if you don’t like change, doing some work, and still haven’t let go of the past. The energy of the Tiger also provides the opportunity for substantial change that can establish us for the years ahead. 


February launches us into this dynamic year with its first powerful gateway on 02-22-2022, as many call the gateway of 2222 – moving from dreaming about love to ACTIONS with LOVE.

January – 2022 a year of Venus, a Six Year and the Water-Tiger


Did you know there are at least 29 religious holidays celebrated worldwide between November 1 and January 15? These holidays are fertile ground for clashes and building and changing our beliefs and relationships with the community and others. I love that the universe always allows us to grow and become more loving. 2022 will be a year that will challenge our hearts and our beliefs. It will stretch us to align to our hearts, challenge our mental processes to find a new truth. The breaking down of old processes continues as 2022 challenges us to build upon a new foundation. 


The number 6 (2+0+2+2) relates to Venus, the goddess of beauty, love, relationships, self-worth, and values. Venus rules Taurus, and with the North Node (how you develop in your current life) and Taurus in Uranus, you can expect 2022 to be highly Venus-led. We will be challenged in how we relate to ourselves, others, our communities, and mother earth. We have thoughts and beliefs on everything we relate to, including people, places, experiences, and things. All of it is up for the opportunity to shift. 2022 ushers in a new cycle and year to set us on a different path. The December 13 podcast: 2022-A year about community, relationships, Venus and More will give you an overview for each month in 2022 and the influencing energy of Venus. 


We also have Pluto’s return over the United States. Pluto was last here 248 years ago, around 1774. Pluto is about transformation and growing through the deepening of self-knowledge. It is a time of death of old and birth of something new. 2022 is also the year of the Water-Tiger. The tiger represents energy, strength, protection, altruism, leadership, purposeful, respect, revolutionary ideas, vulnerability, sensitivity, selfishness, overestimation, and an all-or-nothing attitude. We have some significant changes ahead, personally and socially. Changes and challenges that will shape us and future generations. 


2022 can dramatically change our lives for the better, as long as we are not afraid to turn our dreams into reality. Goals are always good, but we have to stop talking about changes and begin making changes. 2022 is a year for starting new projects. Then we will need to protect and give them the same attention the tiger gives to its cubs. We will have to use the moment’s impulse and never lose our focus. The tiger energy will help advance us as we get exposed to situations we have never encountered before. 


2022 is not just a NEW year, but it’s the beginning of a NEW cycle. Change always comes with challenges, but in 2022 we celebrate our growth, and the continuation of the metaphysical and science worlds coming closer together. Laurie’s podcasts and events are intended to help you along this journey with wisdom, insight, and practices.

November 2021

November – What falls away
It’s an energy packed month again, and we get to make space by allowing things to fall away.
I most frequently hear guidance from the angels telling us to be patient. Be present and learn. Our western world is about ‘getting it done,’ ‘checking the box,’ ‘moving on to the next thing,’ but when we rush to the finish line, we often neglect to understand that the opportunity or gift was in the journey.  2021 has been an amazing journey, though some might not describe it as that.


I looked back on my November 2016 Newsletter to compare where we were then and now. I wrote about our emotional expansion and how the years ahead would challenge us to heal our ancestral wounds, lifetime imprints, and complete our missions. I wrote about the importance of our emotional compass and its relatedness to our mental processes. I wrote about the practice of taking all the universe’s opportunities and processing them without rushing. Those concepts remain more critical than ever. Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth is not done with us yet! 


Our evolution is about learning, accepting, and being aware of how WE are during these times. It involved changing WHO we are during these times. Our internal self-understanding of our emotions and how we experience our journey is the journey.  Now more than ever, it is essential to be present in the immediate moment.  Now we are learning who we are through our relationships and our mental processes that either create openings or roadblocks. The challenges don’t end, but our awareness of how we face these challenges is the maturity of the soul.  


I’ve heard questions through my clients – why do I feel more comfortable in isolation, why is it suddenly hard to be out with others. If you find these statements familiar to your own experience, you are more aware of your frequency and vibration and contrast in the world.  You have become comfortable with your vibration. The shields you probably held at one time are destroyed or abandoned, and how you show up in the world is raw. You’ve become comfortable feeding your energy field and don’t look to the outside world to provide something you can create from within.   There is nothing wrong or bad with this. It just is a step in evolution and the discovery of you.  On the flip side, if you find you don’t like being alone and the isolation feels stifling, this too is a discovery of you and how you feed or distribute energy. The magic of learning while the universe provides the opportunities.  


The end of October marks Samhain, Halloween, Day of the Dead, or All Saints Day. There is magic in the air for death and rebirth, celebration, playfulness and fun, and also honoring the past and our deceased loved ones.  All these things can be celebrated any day we want, but our cultures give us times to pause, remember and learn. The universe also gives us opportunities to pause and it’s usually retrograde season or eclipse gateways that push us on life lessons. November 19 is our final Lunar Eclipse of 2021, it is followed by a Solar Eclipse on December 4, and the Solstice on December 21. This means there are opportunities ahead to leave our ‘junk’ behind. Opportunities to start fresh, redirect, or realign what we want, where we want it, and who we want it with.


Pause to reflect, enjoy, and remember. May you grow and prosper through all your experiences.  It is not a time to check the box but reflect on what these last years’ experiences have helped evolve. What experiences and opportunities did the universe deliver to you? What might you have to process from your experiences in 2021, and what opportunities can the universe provide to you in 2022?
