Understanding our individual and collective power in a new way
Here's what's coming from April to October
While I’m not a trained astrologer, I like to look to the larger astrology trends because they help me know what type of energetic weather we will be moving through.
I especially enjoy Molly McCord’s podcasts because of the way she somehow manages to share the energy of the astrology in a way I can perceive it. It has a feeling tone for me that shows me the possibilities and relevance to my life, and to the journey we are on together.
We have some big energy weather coming in from April to October and I want to take you through it. Not just to have you know what is coming but also because I want you to be a part of helping shift and direct the energies to create more for yourself and for the collective.
From April to October we have Pluto squaring the Nodes of Fate - here’s what that means
Pluto represents transformation. Big, deep life-changing transformation individually and collectively.
There are 2 Nodes of Fate. The north node speaks to our current and future potentials. The south node speaks to our past and the parts of us we are here to grow beyond. The sign they are moving through affects the topic or areas of our life that they are affecting.
Since Pluto will be squaring them we will feel pressure around the topics they represent. And because of the way that Pluto is going to retrograde they are going to be in this tight, pressure relationship for an unusually long time. This particular energy will be playing out from April 24 to October 11, 2023 and will be re-energized in 2024 as well.
Here’s what you need to know about it
Pluto wants empowerment. It will create pressure toward a rebirth for you to rise up in your sense of self. It will help you gain the awareness that you have the skills to step up, the power to be different, the urge to follow your own path, to do something your own way and not feel obligated to others.
This is a time of transformation by facing your fears around matters related to relationships and the ways you are tied to them. The energies will ask you to review whether this relationship empowers you or feels heavy and burdensome. It can be in relationships with other people but it will also affect all other relationships. Our relationship to money. Our relationship to work. Our relationship to ourselves as mother/wife/provider/owner - insert any other role you identify yourself with.
This time supports changes to life situations. Not only supports, but will force change to help you own your journey and help you get clear about who you really are. It will feel like something will be forced to the surface to be purged out.
The area for change won’t come as a surprise but will be around something you already know or realize. It will be something you created and are afraid of in some way because it feels like it supports a core value about who you are. It also may be something you’ve constructed out of a scarcity or survival fear.
The energies of these themes suggest a focus on financial energies, including significant financial stresses on the world stage. (See the sections below because I really want to take this deeper.)
There will be an enormous focus on the qualities of value and worth. This will show up as value systems being threatened and remade. This can be true with money and financial systems. It will also be true with personal value systems. Both individually and collectively, we will be looking at what we truly value in ourselves and society, in what ways we measure our worth in ourselves and in relationships, and in what ways have we built these beliefs into structures and systems in our life.
They also suggest major leadership changes on the planet.
By July we will begin to recognize the relationships you have outgrown or are out of balance. You will recognize the power of what you want and will wonder how things are going to work and how to get started on the change or the new path.
We will see what is or has been out of balance, so that we can understand what it means to be in our individual and collective power.
Let’s take a look at what that means to you personally
When we have the kind of change that is coming, we often see and experience a lot of fear. This is going to be something affecting us on the inner levels. We will feel it in our nervous systems and unless you are aware enough to know that is happening, people will not know what to do with the energy or the feelings.
Since I believe we are all becoming more sensitive to our intuitive senses, this type of energy is going to be really uncomfortable, if not alarming, for those who do not know about intuitive senses. It will likely show up as unexplained feelings of fear, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, anger and self-judgment.
This will likely be exacerbated by the change we are going to see externally. So if you follow the stock markets or are highly influenced by major media, it is possible to be sucked into fear spirals that will only increase the fear and anxiety.
There will be change and evolution to our collective systems that will affect everyone.
These energies are going to show us what we are choosing to cling to that buttresses our sense of self and value, because we do not inherently believe in our own sense of value. And whatever that is will fall out of your life so that you can see that you are inherently valuable and safe in yourself.
This is not an easy change. I know personally what it will unearth because I have been on that path for the last 2 years as I moved through a divorce after a 35 year relationship. That was just for me in my small family and world. This change that is coming will be for everyone.
Listen up - intuitive and conscious women, lightworkers, energy workers, coaches, spiritual guides - here’s what I’m asking of you
We have the ability to affect and direct the tone of this change to make this growth stage easier for all of us.
Think of it this way: if you can perceive and believe that the change that is coming will happen with ease and grace, then it will.
My concern is that individually and collectively we will create more fear and trauma than we need to because there are more messages showing up around financial collapse.
Look at it this way. Our financial system could symbolically represent our collective nervous system.
As we have pressure to really look deep to see if we are in alignment around what we value and what is important to us, we are going to activate our fears and our nervous system is going to go haywire. Both individually and collectively.
The whole point of that happening is to look at, and see, how we have built our life to protect us from our survival fears and scarcity fears. We have those fears because in the past we believed we were on our own, and that those around us are out to get us. We believed that resources were limited and to get what we wanted could take a whole lifetime.
As a result, we created families, workplaces, government systems and financial systems based on those fears. So of course it would make sense that our collective nervous system will have to grow and mature to keep up with our collective growth.
Individually, we are retraining our nervous system every day. We are teaching ourselves that our past does not define us. We are becoming aware of our trauma wounds and creating new, healthier responses. We are gently teaching our nervous system that it is safe to be who we are - no matter how out-there it seems.
We are letting go of the old paradigm and replacing it with the new paradigm that is love based, where we know we are all one, we look out for each other, that growth and creation are not linear and nothing is impossible.
But notice – when you have stress to your nervous system, it doesn’t normally collapse. It is often a sign that something needs to change and as a result you make changes.
This can be true with our collective nervous system, our financial system.
You, the person reading this article, are one piece of that collective nervous system. And you are also representative of the collective nervous system.
Your capacity to regulate your physical nervous system, and update your nervous system responses, has a direct effect on the collective nervous system.
You will stabilize the collective nervous system by your willingness and ability to tend to your own well-being, and by not allowing yourself to slip into collective nervous system fears.
I am asking you to take a moment each day, in your own way, to intend that your personal inner work will calm, harmonize and uplevel our collective nervous system. I know that by doing so we will create with greater ease and harmony.
A specific message for where you are on your growth journey
I know that my readers fall into 3 main stages of development and I want to offer a message specific to each of you.
For those of you who are masters at following your own path, have an intimate connection to your soul/spirit and for whom life is good, even when the outer world isn’t:
Know that at this time you are being called to BE who you have become. It is not time for more inner work. The change you are making is to walk the scary and unknown path of who you ARE, not who you’ve been.
Take stock of the 2-3 big things that pull you off center and create your system to hold you steady.
Get support to calm your nervous system and be ready for more heightened intuitive senses. Both physical and energetic.
For those of you who are following your own path, have a reliable connection to your soul/spirit but feel more wobbly than stable a good part of the time:
Actively disconnect from the ways you connect to collective energy. That means eliminate, or significantly diminish, the amount of time you spend reading or watching the news or following social media. This includes talking with people who bring the news to you.
Find and join a community of like-minded folks that create positive, uplifted feelings for you. The intent of this is to find something that actively and intentionally holds an energetic container for the group, not necessarily to spend more time with others unless that uplifts you. I would suggest you take a look at these programs that I know personally hold a high-vibration quantum field: Hearts on Fire with Adrienne Cobb, Annie Matan’s Red Tent and Sex Goddess Red Tents, and my Bring It to Life Community.
Line up your energetic support team. If you don’t have one, build one. Ideally, this includes people who do energy work, energy clearing, and hands-on bodywork. If you need suggestions, please reach out.
Do everything I suggested for the group above you.
For those of you working to stabilize how to feel good in your life, are working on learning to feel comfortable with your own power, and are learning to cultivate a relationship with your soul/spirit:
Learn about your Human Design. Specifically, learn your Type and Authority and begin operating from that place. This is the fastest and easiest way to align yourself to how you are designed to create from, and with, your soul. If you only made decisions from your Authority, you would streamline your life incredibly fast. MyHumanDesign app is an excellent resource. The free information is comprehensive enough to get you rolling.
If you do not have a mentor or coach, this is the time to find one. I do have openings to take on new clients, however, it doesn’t have to be me. Find someone who understands and works with energy. Not only will that be important, I believe it will be essential.
Try to bring in as many of the suggestions as you can of those that I offer above.
Final thoughts
We don’t ever know what the future will hold.
But I do know that unless we are conscious in our thoughts and actions, we will default into creating from our fears, and from old stories and beliefs.
The significant energy downloads and activations that have come in over the last few years have changed everything. I shared about it here and here. It means that we are NOW who we have always wanted to be.
This energy from April to October will support us to live that reality. And you are going to get to choose how you experience it.
You can choose to approach this time from the way you learned to compensate for your fears and hurts of the past. For example, you can keep yourself small, hold your voice, or stay in work that doesn’t feed your heart because in the past you were judged or ridiculed.
Or you can approach this time as the powerful divine being that you are, confident in your worth and happiness, believing in the positive, expanded potentials. The more you are able to hold to this belief, the more likely it is that the future will unfold in beautiful and miraculous ways.
Loved this - it was like a beautiful call to claim our worth and value. I'm IN! ☺️
Loved reading this trying to think what category I’m in ! Where’s the link for the human design app please ?
