    Aries season 2024 will feel more like Pisces season. From the introspection that we're gonna take with Mercury in retrograde with to the eclipses bringing hidden things to light. This Aries season will pull something we've hidden from ourselves so that we can see it in a new way. Don't forget, we have Chiron playing a big part in all of these. It's gonna be very emotional, steamy, Aries season!

  • Aquarius will bring the powerful winds of change! It will be impossible not to overthink “Am I overthinking?” Maybe it’s time to embrace some technology to help your mind, like a task tracker or meditation app to help clear out the mental clutter. The Lunar New Year will welcome the Wood Dragon, urging us to embrace our originality and depart from the hum-drum that we’ve possibly settled for. The month continues with a mix of innovation, and self-reflection, urging you to stay flexible, trust your intuition, and find joy in creative expressions. The annual “Day of Challenges” tugs at what can be an otherwise friendly and expressive month. You’ll be pulled outside of your box, but so will everyone else. How they handle that energy is not your responsibility so take extra time to check in with your own emotions this month and help clear any blocks from your nervous system. The Virgo Full Moon on the 24th calls for a cosmic cleaning and promotes more self-compassion in your improvement journey.

  • For 2024, Emily and Andrea decided to break the year into two halves for our annual forecast. There is a lot of intense energy including the first eclipse season in the first 6 months of the year as we move from solstice to solstice and the days get longer. As a gift to you, we are saving the second half for later so this episode could be under two hours!

    We recap the latter part of 2023 and provide our forecast for the first half of 2024 using astrology, tarot, numerology, and the Chinese Zodiac. In numerology, 2023 was an introspective 7 year of re-calibration and spiritual exploration. 2024 is an 8 year, which offers karmic transformation, wisdom and growth as we harness our strength and independence to impact the collective.

    2+0+2+4=8

    To find your personal year number, add your birthday + the current year (not your birth year). Reduce the sum to a single digit if it isn’t already. For example, my birthday is January 4, so it would be:

    1+4+2+0+2+4=13 = 1+3=4

    Another example - September 23:

    9+2+3+2+0+2+4= 222+2=4

    One of the general themes for 2024 that we talked about was how art and technology serve as catalysts for change as we move into the Age of Aquarius. The power of humanity and uniting for a purpose will be impactful this year. We may experience a collective shift beginning with a sense of renewal in January, an important transition phase in February, personal power confrontations in March, a chaotic but introspective April, practical idea manifestation in May, and the need to maintain grounding amidst rapid thoughts and actions in June. It's a journey towards resolving long-standing issues and standing firm in the face of chaos.

    Numerology Book referenced: The Complete Book of Numerology by David A. Phillips

    In this podcast, spiritual guides Emily and Andrea provide comprehensive guidance through both a recap of the latter half of 2023 and a forecast for the first half of 2024 using astrology, tarot readings, numerology, and dream interpretations. 2023 marked an intense eight-year cycle of karmic transformation, offering opportunities for self-alignment, internal change, gaining wisdom and strength, and understanding how art and technology serve as catalysts for change. Transitioning to 2024 signifies a communal shift beginning with a sense of renewal in January, an important transition phase in February, personal power confrontations in March, a chaotic but introspective April, practical idea manifestation in May, and the need to maintain grounding amidst rapid thoughts and actions in June. It's a journey towards resolving long-standing issues and standing firm in the face of chaos.00:04 Introduction and Overview00:24 The Year Ahead: 2024 Forecast02:08 The Year of the Wood Dragon07:01 The Power of Numerology13:40 The Impact of Planetary Alignments16:02 The Significance of Chiron20:38 The Role of Pluto in 202428:16 Tarot Predictions for the Year35:42 The Energy of January36:28 The Energy of February40:24 Navigating the Pisces Season41:24 The Star Energy in March43:22 Manifestation and Purpose in Spring48:58 The Victory and Celebration of April59:06 The Energy of the Chariot in May01:06:54 The Hierophant Energy in June

  • What does Mercury Retrograde plus Chiron Retrograde plus a Full Moon in Cancer equate to? Capricorn season 2023-2024! The regal sea-goat is here to usher in 2024 despite the energies pulling us inward and our friend the "wounded healer" reminding us of all the things that are still left undone. While the negative inner monologue might be grinding away at you, you're friends and family are dying to hear all about you and your accomplishments! Don't let the mood swings pull you into dispair! The psychic full moon will have you gifting with insider knowledge and as Jupiter Retrograde ending you'll finally be able to stop worrying so much! Capricorn loves to make things efficient but the energy to start setting your 2024 goals into motion won't be united with January 1st! Mars pushes into Capricorn after the New Year and you'll be packing up the glitter and simplifying your schedule by the second week. The days are still short so don't put away the twinkle lights if they make you happy. As Andrea says, "Capricorn likes to be party pooper adjacent" so remember to put FUN on your to-do list!

    All this plus Andrea's weekly Tarot energy report and so much more in this month's Cosmic Energy Report!
