Hello 2025

The end of 2024 has had most looking at life under a microscope, assessing where expectations weren't met, or attempts at something were met with challenges, losses, or a redirect. Many are feeling as if they've just run a marathon and are happy to look back and say - I did THAT! 2025 will be another interesting year. So much is happening planetarily that points to endings and new beginnings, shifts, and changes in how we've done things in the past. Not all the past is good, nor is all planned future good; we'll have to find our way that makes the most sense. 

I noticed a pattern in my December podcasts: hope, revisioning your life, saying YES to trying new or different things, and optimism were the prominent themes. I believe this was spirit's attempt to prepare us for what might be a fun or wild ride in 2025. That will depend on whether you like change or consistency. 

We end 2024 with the second New Moon of the Month. The New Moon on December 30 is in Capricorn, which has the archetype of 'I USE'. It reminds us to remember what tools, skills, and gifts we bring to this world and to use them. When we feel challenged, stuck, or unsure, assess whether that is our truth or a moment to pause and regroup. 

I'm ending 2024 in gratitude for all my experiences and those yet to have. I'm taking time for myself and my space. My home office and other spaces may have a few gaps of unavailability in January as I work through changes. I began testing paints on the walls, which quickly turned to the desire to PAINT and not wait for the painters to come.... to create, change, renew, refresh, and welcome something I've not yet defined to come forward. Some might desire to travel, write, and play more once the first step of forward motion is pushed. It only takes a small step, momentum, to move the energy to another form, notice where the universe is nudging you. This will be our theme in 2025 - new energy moving us in a new form. Numerous planets are moving from retrograde to forward motion, which will create the energy of movement. We can move with it or against it. Let 2025 be your year to find your natural flow. It is a NINE year, meaning endings and new beginning preparations. It will be the year of the wood snake. It is an earthy year where shedding is encouraged. Let it be a year of flow, ease, and grace while you set the pace for what you need. 

Be blessed. Be joyful. Shine ON!  ~Laurie 💖
