Your Gentle Restart
Interrupt yourself right now with a gentle restart. When you are on autopilot you lose the chance to choose rather than react. Stop, take a breath, and sink roots down into the Earth. Tell yourself you are your own best friend, and you are here for you. Then come back to read the rest of this!
Yes, the first full week of the 2025 presents us with hope and confusion wrapped in emotionality and even more change.
It’s supposed to be different, right, now that 2024 is behind us? Yet here is the same intensity and massive stimulation! We need to enter this new year as a gentle restart of what we thought we wanted and/or should do. Begin by reconnecting to what is really important to you, and shape your day around that. When all that New Year expectation buzz gets loud, please turn down the volume and listen more to what’s happening within yourself.
It’s important to keep your focus on you, your immediate concerns, and not on the social feeds and media blasts. The energy it takes to buffer the visual and audio assault on your senses reduces your own reserves, and you really need those resources for you now.
🧘🏻♀️ Focus on strengthening your immune system.
🫂 Get daily doses of hugs.
✔️ Simplify as much as you can.
There’s no need to rush into something “new”, even if you are feeling that pressure. Your gentle restart gives you a chance to drop your stress levels and remember your core truths.
Shamanic Weather Jan 6 – 12, 2025
Monday, 1/6/25 – Take Action Mars retrogrades (appears to move backward) from Hear Me Roar Leo into the Sign of the Crab, Here’s A Hug Cancer. This is a difficult transit because any emotional wound you have can get triggered whenever you attempt to move forward. The old way isn’t necessarily working all that well and you can feel knocked you off your emotional center.
Tuesday, 1/7/25 – Here’s What I See Mercury has a talk with Mars, but this isn’t a graceful process. In fact, it can further muddle your mind. Hold off on vital communications for a wee bit if you can.
Wednesday, 1/8/25 – Mercury moves into Here’s The Plan Capricorn and squares (challenges) the Here’s Where You’re Headed North Node. Chaos starts to coalesce into meaning. Your gentle restart is more grounding.
Thursday, 1/9/25 – Get even more grounded by the Inner You Moon and Wild You Uranus conjuncting in Here’s What Feels Good Taurus. In fact, start to prepare yourself for the big energy weekend ahead.
Friday, 1/10/25 – I hope you have been practicing your gentle restart daily. We are about to experience a Nodal Shift. We move from a Fire/Air axis to a Water/Earth orientation for the next 18 months tomorrow…
Saturday, 1/11/25 – At 8:09 PM Pacific Time, the North Node moves from Me First Aries to Everything Changes Pisces. We rise from our immediate needs energy to reach for our highest aspirations and cosmic dreams. the South Node moving into I’ll Help You Virgo grounds this watery flow with an anchor in our past experiences. If we can learn from them, we can grow from them.
Sunday, 1/12/25 – Mars trines (positive balance with) Dream With Me Neptune. If you can, spend the day in nature, or in a very comforting space. Dive into yourself with music, dance, journaling, ceremony. The nodal shift and tomorrow’s Full Wolf Moon drive you into profound soul exploration.
I hope you enjoyed this different way of presenting the Shamanic Weather. I’m trying my own gentle restart 😉.
Let’s make 2025 a year to Roar about!
Pancho Update
Thank you for all your good juju and well wishes. He shows no signs of illness (we found multiple tumors by x-ray in November) and is acting like nothing ever happened! Talk about a gentle restart! At 71 years strong, this Red Lored Amazon really packs quite the Parrot Pizzaz!
