Boundaries don’t exist in a vacuum. We must have values to create boundaries — values such as love, gratitude, sovereignty, trust, compassion, service, etc. Values are personal, and they can shift as we mature and experience life. Pluto in Aquarius will force us to get crystal clear on our values and how we create goals around them. Why? Because the low frequency, shadow sides of our society will use digital manipulation in an attempt to usurp our personal and collective power. (technology = Aquarius; manipulation and power = Pluto)

This morning’s New Moon in Capricorn (at 4:57am MST, 20º44) invites us to commit to the structures, boundaries, and discipline to live our legacy and do our life’s work – because it’s never too late. It’s not only how we want to be remembered but also what we feel like we must do, because if we don’t, we’ll have missed out on the whole purpose of our life. We’ll have squandered our gifts. No matter how we spend most of our time, we must carve out at least some space for what lights us up.

2023 prepared us personally for what we will experience as a collective in 2024 and eventually into 2025. A lot of us took it on the chin in multiple areas of life. 🥊 The “dark night of the soul” felt like the dark year, or at least several months!

Because of that, however, we are stronger and more flexible, no longer an apprentice to the “new normal.” We have greater capacity to love, but we’re more discerning about who and what we allow in and how we react to the world around us.

This newly gleaned wisdom will serve us well in the coming months, because there are a lot of dark sides to the astrology for 2024 and early 2025: Big, unpredictable events, not to mention a US election week that has me wanting to go off grid to the middle of nowhere with my favorite people and never come back. 🏝️

Therefore, the word for 2024 is…
