Today 1-1-1-marks a powerful transition and portal.

In numerology, 2+0+2+6=10 1+0=1. The 1-1-1 combination opens a portal to fresh starts, new beginnings, and active engagement. It’s time to put all the work you’ve done into action and create what you’ve envisioned.

I’ve created a challenge for myself, but you’re invited to follow or join…

You may be thinking, Life is hard enough. Why create a challenge?

I believe that 2025 will stand out in history books as more than a quarterly marker in the 21st century. The events of this past year represent a dramatic shift in world politics, societal systems, and cultural norms—affecting every level of collective and personal living.

Maybe calling it a “dramatic shift” is too gentle. Things are broken. And this time, irrevocably. Our lives will never be the same.

For those unfamiliar with space-clearing techniques, dried sage bundles and palo santo (“holy wood” from South America) are often burned in energy-clearing rituals. The practice of using these items to banish negativity and restore harmony is called smudging.

And that’s what the image at top represents to me. It’s telling me to shift my focus from big-picture macro view to close-up micro perspective—at least for now, for this year.

I’ve spent the past two Thanksgiving Days by myself. I’m not asking for sympathy. I chose to spend the days that way.

Any good astrologer will tell you that your sun sign is only part of what determines your unique makeup. Your rising sign, moon sign, and placement of the various planets at the specific time and place of your birth all contribute to your cosmic blueprint.

Yet not even these celestial combinations mean your fate is sealed or that you have no control over your destiny. Free will always reigns supreme.

However, knowing the traits and characteristics central to your spiritual DNA can prove helpful when navigating your life’s path.

Last week I wrote about powerful cosmic energy at work. The particular events (New Moon in Virgo, solar eclipse, Fall Equinox) were not the beginning, nor the end, of the significant energy shifts being experienced on the planet. But a high point was reached, marking a transition to a higher vibratory environment on Earth.
