We are in for a challenging week. How to best strategize, prepare and utilize the energy's play? This week is the Aquarius New Moon, the onset of the 2025 Chinese New Year.

I will send out another forecast about the year for that New Moon — so far, it's been quite an opening of 2025 — hasn't it?

January 27th has the moon in the sign of Capricorn, a pretty good day. Bear in mind, a good day in a challenging week. The new moon occurs on the 29th, EST. Monday in the dark of moon period has a serious tone about life and what we're doing here.

Even with light-hearted activities, there’s the capacity to deepen into spiritual perspective. The Indians have a term: Maya — the illusion of reality that we all create. Of course, mine is different than my husband’s and is different than my siblings’ — even though we share common experiences; the unfathomable wonder of unique perceptions.

We create and see the world through our own lens. Part of the illusion that we all struggle with is how do we work towards common truth? It's quite a challenge, especially in today's world — where there's alternate truths.

This has always been the case one could argue, but the difference between now and 30 years ago is that realities were not able to be manipulated in quite the same way as they are in our cyberworld. With this moon in Capricorn, it behooves us to look at what is your reality and why? There are benefits to question our worldview and our responsibility within it.

On the 27th, we're invited energetically to reflect on how we view the world and if that's connected to the greater continuum and community. Are we living in a way that is in alignment to what or who we want to be spiritually? For those without a spiritual call, the emphasis is to expand and support the illusion, no matter what seems to threaten or deflate it.

On Tuesday the 28th, inspiration may come to some of us in the morning with a sense of lightness, to feel more love and connection. The new moon occurs on the 29th at 7:36 a.m. ET at 9° Aquarius 51”, Chinese year of the Wood Snake. A 9 year (endings) plus the Snake… expect a lot of shedding this year. Use it to move past stuck energy.

The next day, the 30th, Uranus goes direct —it pushes a lot of electric volatile energies in this brief time.

I go into this week more on the podcast and the Lunation post will be out soon. Please remember, effective power comes when we note our reaction, catch it, and choose how we respond. Be a love warrior.
