If 2024 (the year of the Dragon) was about burning away all illusion, then 2025 (the year of the Snake) is truly about transformation. The dragon brought us to a higher level of consciousness, allowing us to see clearly where we have work to do and how to approach it. Now it is up to us to act from this higher level of consciousness to create the transformations that align our daily lives with our hearts truest desires. This transformation is one that requires each of us to make the choice to change. Often we seek transformation not realizing that what we really want is for our circumstances to change, and for the world around us to change, but for us to be able to keep doing what we’ve been doing. That’s not the kind of transformation that’s coming. This transformation will require each of us to step into a role of radical responsibility for our role in creating our own reality and co-creating the collective reality. We will be asked to look deeply within ourselves and begin to alchemize that which is out of alignment with our heart’s truest desires and to make very real and grounded changes in our every day actions to create a path for those desires to birth into physicality. It is happening, and we can do it the easy way or the hard way.
The easy way, although certainly easier than the alternative, is not without significant work. The easy way requires us to commit to developing a strong, loving, and compassionate observer presence that can feel when there is change asking to be made and meeting this energy with openness and willingness to take the directions you are being given. It requires us to fully own that change happens not from external circumstances, but from internal shifts, and that it is an inevitable part of all life, but even more so for those of us who have committed to a path of growth and actively invited change and transformation into our lives. To transform with ease, we must learn to allow parts of ourselves to die and things in our life to disappear so that what is coming has space to ground in and make a home. This is a process that we learn over time, but it is made much easier by consistent practices of gratitude.
When we can find things in our lives to be grateful for every day, we begin cultivating a strong relationship with the frequency of gratitude. This strong relationship allows us to call on this frequency when we are in the middle of a transition that is scary, uncertain, or feels like a deep loss. Calling on the frequency of gratitude in these situations shifts our frequency from one based in fear or lack to one that is sending gratitude to the universe for this change. This gratitude tells the universe that you trust that this change is bringing something even better than you had before, and so that is what will come to you. Again, this is a practice that can take some time to engage in authentically. This is not about gaslighting yourself into feeling grateful instead of feeling whatever is there. It’s about being able to hold the fear, the uncertainty, the grief, all while being grateful for the breadth and depth of this human experience. The more you practice, the more you will begin to feel true gratitude arise within you in every situation, even when there are still elements of other feelings and emotions being triggered as well.
If we fight this transformation that is trying to come through, resisting the change that our truest self desires to birth, our path will feel quite difficult. When we fall into victimhood rather than grounding ourself in gratitude, we shift into a timeline of lower awareness, where things are happening to us rather than for us. This is the root of so much suffering and can be largely avoided with cultivation of strong presence and openness to see what is asking for a change. If we do not take time every day to listen to the subtle (or sometimes not so subtle) messages of our soul, we will not hear how we are being directed to shift, change, and pivot to navigate the coming transformations. When we continue to stay attached to the desires of the ego instead of being present with what’s being presented before us, we may experience challenging lessons. However, those too are leading us further down our path. The more we learn to listen to the subtleties, to soften, and to go with the flow of our experience, the more ease we can bring to this process of transformation. It will be work, but it doesn’t need to be hard.
Through all of this remember, the triggers are the medicine. The more we lean into our triggers and feel the feelings behind them as deeply as we are able, the more we develop the capacity to alchemize every situation that arises in our life into pure gold. These changes that are asking to come through you are for YOU, and they have the ability to create for you and those around you a life full of beauty, love, harmony, and magic. I invite you to say yes to the transformations that are coming, and meet them with excitement and gratitude even when things feel very uncertain. Trust yourself and your creation, and stay grounded in gratitude and unconditional love as these new timelines stabilize in your field.
