My annual predictions are a deep dive into the energetic potential of the new year and I have been writing them for over 15 years. Every year, since we began this ascension cycle in late 2003 has been another level of our journey, each one has provided us with a new perspective on our mission, purpose, learning, healing, and evolution. Each one has had its challenges and its blessings, its good times, and its bad times. There were times when things looked very dark, as they have especially during the last 4 years, and somehow we managed to turn a corner and elevate to a new energy level. 

In the December Energy Report I wrote that we are at a pinnacle and a precipice, the pinnacle represents the final point in this journey, and the precipice is the abyss that is the ‘other’ option because at this juncture there is no gray area, it is an ‘either/or’ proposition. This is not a doom and gloom prediction, just a statement of the situation as it is. But we know where we will finish because we always have the light and another level of ascension and evolution to move us forward. 

We cannot talk about the new year in 2024 without mentioning one of its huge turning points, the entry of Pluto into Aquarius on January 21. Pluto’s long transit in Capricorn was our ascension testing ground, and it did test us in many ways. In 2020 we had a rare Saturn/Pluto conjunction which set off the lessons in darkness and tyranny that challenged us on every level. But 2 years later we had the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Pisces, a rare event that heralds spiritual awakening.

Once again we had the light to guide our way out of the darkness and while we did not exit that part of the journey without some scratches and bruises, we did not fall into the abyss – although it felt like it came close.

Our ascension journey is not a straight line, it is a spiral. And we eventually reach the top of the spiral, as we have now. At that pinnacle point we can move into a new dimensional level, and this is where we are at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. The finish line becomes the new starting point.

We have a new year celebration every January but this year is different, you can already feel the excitement of a new beginning, a fresh start, and a new paradigm. Maybe it’s because we have been through every challenge and limitation and problem in the past 4 years that we could possibly endure and we are at the end of that path and surprise, we are still standing (mostly). 

2024 has some powerful energies, big opportunities, great potential, and tough choices. We really do have to limit how we’re using our energy now and who and what we are sharing it with. And forget all of that healing work, we are quickly moving away from the martyred healer work and into Empowered Mastery. But that comes with a few guidelines, such as managing our expectations of ourselves and of others, being more congruent with our own potential, and having clear and direct intentions that we resonate with. 

Intention is so important in 2024 that it is part of the 2024 theme of the SHIFT, more on that in a minute. Equally as important as intention is resonance, the energetic balance and synergy which ensures that what we are intending is energetically aligned with us in every way. For a long time we have created energetic balance with our own energy resources but we can no longer do that as the energy gaps are too big and our own new paradigms are too compelling. 

We want to be in joy, harmony, and flow, and we cannot do that when we are parsing out our energy to heal, fix, and encourage others to become energetically aligned with us. I  know it is hard to relinquish a healing path we have followed for lifetimes but we cannot have 5D energetic congruence if we are stuck in 3D karma healing missions. Many of us have experienced that in the past few years.
