Well, does it feel real? Did we actually just turn the page into a new year?

The start of 2023 will likely feel the remainder of 2022. (You know, when you divide numbers that don’t fit like 9 / 8). We carry over what we haven’t dealt with yet in our career and personal lives.

Mars in Gemini finishes its retrograde 1/12/23

The good news is that we don’t have to think back any further than November than to understand what needs to change in our lives.

These subtle changes are the sauce to your pasta – most of the flavor for how your experience this 1st quarter of 2023.

Think in terms of two sides of a coin. On one side, we may approach life with positivity and the other with negativity.

Ensuring you are either positive or negative towards your life circumstances is best to root in the actual facts.

Mercury in Capricorn finishes its retrograde 1/18

Ah, Mercury. Our favorite planet to talk about its retrograde. Mercury retrograded over the same position Saturn and Pluto met on 1/12/20, sparking a new cycle of reality disruption for the whole world. Think back to this time. How did you experience your fears back then? How were you being asked to show up to your Career or even a sense of your life purpose? No matter how well we have done dealing with those things, it’s time to pull ourselves up and be our own hero for what we want to achieve in life. If don’t remember- that’s ok, look at the last 3 months to keep you on track on what to make decisions on.

Uranus in Taurus finishes its retrograde 1/23

Let’s flip the electricity back on fully for all things relationships and manifestation. These last 6 months of Uranus in retrograde may have felt like running a warehouse on a back-up generator with flood lights only. Now, the state of the art LED lights are shining. If you aren’t convinced already that it’s time to move toward creating the things you want, all planets out of their retrograde will become quite convincing. This is where we create the better reality for our lives by being highly service oriented – making and executing the plans for how to help our communities from a skill set that is unique to you. What makes you different, talent wise? Chances are, it’s that weird intangible thing you couldn’t put on most job resumes because the interviewer would look at you funny.

Saturn enters Pisces 3/7

Whoa Nelly. Here we go. God bless true journalist sources like Elephant Journal. This is where censorship becomes even more real. Where more laws and threats are made by creating media that doesn’t follow the MSM (Main stream media) narrative.

The way over these low hurdles, since they will seem real but the alleged punishments will be highly trivial, is to sound off about your personal healing journey – since Jupiter and Chiron meet in Aries on 3/12.

We create our stories. Don’t let any false, fear based reality that isn’t yours stop you from your fate of being the brave leader that is not only open about their wounds, but puts a positive spin on it by using your individual experience with it to serve others. In other words, real stories of strength inspire others to rise up.

Pluto heads for Aquarius 3/23

While Pluto isn’t going to stay permanently yet in Aquarius, this is a big deal. Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 – threatening the reality for many public and government organizations world wide. This is going to be a glimpse into what “power to the people” looks like. For most, it will only be a feeling. A shift that a physical authority outside of you has no control of your life during this time.

The big decisions we need to this about during this time is – how much power for human rights do we want? And if it’s not all of it, how much are we willing to subsidize to AI to have less social responsibility?

Whatever happens, fears will be high this Spring in the world. But there is an acronym for fear. False.

Knowing this, would you make some bold choices this Spring that place your faith in the World to change for the better by being the role model of what that looks like?

If Rambo hung up his machine guys to grow crops for the community, that would be the metaphorical image to place on your mantle. This planet needs us to care for it and her people, and it starts by vibing with a shift from living in fear and isolation to living in true empathetic connection with others.
