Dear Ones,
Unexpectedly, a recording that I made five years ago for one of our communions recently popped up as a Facebook memory. A sweet one.
The theme of that communion was, “A week suspended in stillness.”
Amazingly, the conditions we are facing now, five years later, are fairly similar.
We are approaching another New Moon, which will occur on February 9th at 5:59 pm EST / New York, and marks the beginning of a new lunar year.
In 2019, the New Moon occurred on February 4th at 4:03 pm EST. Hence the stillness that we experienced preceding that date. Please see the January 31, 2019, invite below.
We seem to be once again in the canal leading to a new birth—the birth of a powerful New Age.
And yet that stillness that some of us might be feeling or experiencing feels utterly different from that of 2019, doesn’t it?
What will the year of the Dragon bring, but fire?
And possibly destruction by fire?
It feels, truly, like the beginning of the end. The end of how we knew and lived life.
Would you agree?
Here is the announcement about the Year of the Dragon by Raquel Spring, the astrologer I quoted at the end of my January 31, 2019, invitation.
“The Year of the Dragon 2024 finally reveals the dawn of a new power, and a significant pathway for new energies to come in!
Do you feel it? A new force is here. This is truly a time to step forward with Dragon energies into new light, and a new life.
I am excited to invite you to this Saturday’s workshop where we will explore the pivotal month of February. Some themes for this workshop are:
1. The Power of The Dragon in 2024:
Pluto in Aquarius and the North Node in Aries have made the clarion call for new leaders to rise. Now, the Year of The Dragon opens the door to a new human embodiment, a radical DNA shift and announces the time to step into sovereignty and freedom!
2. Aquarius Season: Revolution is here!
In February, the Aquarius momentum really picks up as Mercury, Venus and Mars join the Sun and Pluto in this emerging power.
3. New Moon in Aquarius square Uranus: Radical steps and new paths
February’s New Moon emphasizes the Aquarian revolution through a square to its ruler, Uranus. This adds to the superpowers of Sun, Pluto, Mercury, Venus and Mars, who are all in Aquarius, and initiates a radical paradigm shift for 2024.
4. Saturn covers new degrees and begins new themes in Pisces
Last year, Saturn reached its maximum distance of 7° Pisces. In February, Saturn finally catches up and moves into new ground, new territory for your Pisces house.
Topic: Another week suspended in stillness, really?
Time: Feb 1, 2024 @ 4:00 PM Eastern Time

Invitation for our January 31, 2019 communion
A week suspended in stillness?
Or
‘A week in suspended stillness,’ as Raquel put it in her astrology newsletter.
Dear Ones,
Isn’t it beautiful when you start reading an article and realize it describes to the ‘t’ how you’ve been feeling or sensing about the time period?
That’s exactly what happened to me this morning. Yet Raquel is talking about the upcoming week and I have had that feeling for the past five or six days.
A feeling that things have come to a halt; that not much is moving, for whatever reason. Because of the closing of a lunar cycle, as Raquel suggests, a waning gibbous moon, or some other inconspicuous reason.
And a feeling that there isn’t much we need to do. It isn’t that we are stuck; I would rather feel that we are in transition, to a different kind of energy, perhaps. A feeling that ’things’ will open up once the new lunar year is upon us.
So enjoy what is there to enjoy, grab a good book you wanted to (re)read for some time, and ponder what comes your way—however trickle-like flowing that may be. The times may become more ‘agitated’ once things start rolling up the hill!
Here is what Raquel wrote as an intro to her ‘week in suspended stillness’ newsletter.
Not only are we closing a lunar cycle, in preparation for a new one to come (Aquarius New Moon on February 4th), but we are also closing a bigger cycle, in preparation for the Chinese New Year, and this is always a significant time of the year, period.
