It's time for you to be supported, nurtured, and to receive

It's time for you to be supported, nurtured, and to receive

While going through some old files on my computer today I found this article that I wrote exactly 12 years ago this week, on April 25, 2013. 

It speaks to our desire to complete our healing cycles and why we must move on.  That is what we were trying to do at the time but we still had some work to do. 

Now we are in a new phase of our Ascension cycle and it is really time to consider our new paradigms, 5D is waiting for us. 

What does this mean for the people in our lives? It means they have to figure some things out for themselves while we move into our new portals. 

We do not 'leave anyone behind', we honor their energetic sovereignty to make their own choices and deal with their own consequences. 

Freedom is one step away from our CORE karma energies - commitment, obligation, responsibility, and expectations. This is a good time to take that step. 

Here is my article from April 2013 and it is very relevant today.  We are going through the same things, just at a different level today.  The radio show referenced is my Blog Talk Radio show which I held every Wednesday from 2008 to 2016:

"I've been feeling rather heartsick the last few days, as we are at such a pivotal point on this journey and things appear to be getting better instead of worse (they really aren't but we are aware of so much more when we are at newer levels of frequency and vibration).

After the radio show, I asked my guides to give me some guidance and peace because I really needed it. They told me that all of humanity is in a testing period and how we are doing it now is the difference between grade school and university.

In grade school, the teacher gives the class a test, everyone takes it together and when you finish, you sit quietly at your desk until everyone has finished.

In university, everyone gets the test at the same time but when you're finished, you are free to leave the room and do something else because your test is finished.

On the radio show I talked about how the world needs examples of different paths it can now take in these new paradigms that are opening up.

They know the current world paradigm is tired, old and not working but that is what they know and they'll try to make it work until something better comes along. If no one shows them anything better, they will continue to walk the path they are on even though it is not serving them in expansive, fulfilling ways.

As the saying goes, 'the devil we know is better than the devil we don't know.'

The healers and teachers who have been mirroring the healing now have to mirror the new lifestyles and ways of being. I think we have to resist the urge to stay in the old energy and transmute it, which is how we have shifted energy in the past and instead, stand aside and create a new energetic space of joy, peace, love and abundance.

Not easy to do when you're heartsick and feeling like the world is falling off a cliff but it must be done now. The only way to get out of this whirlpool of density is to introduce a way out of it. If you're feeling like you are in the whirlpool, what can you do to get out of it and that only takes a shift in your energy and intention for your life.

Start that today, by focusing on the life you want to have and you'll be able to start moving the energy in that direction. The energy is moving very quickly now anyway, we might as well start pushing it in the direction we want it to go or we'll all get carried away by it and that isn't very pleasant, as we have experienced in the last week."

Does this resonate with you now? Do you see your current life situation in this article? I do and one of the things I had to do in the past 3 months is let go of people who just are not going to cooperate with the light - they let me know in very mean and dark ways. So I'm on my way and if this is what is happening in your life, it's OK to let go and move on. A brighter life and life path is waiting for you, 5D is not for everyone but it is for you.

It's the end of the (solar) year and the next 2 days are full-on

It's the end of the (solar) year and the next 2 days are full-on

By Jennifer Hoffman

Posted on January 18, 2025

In 2 days we start a new solar year, the Equinox is March 20. This is a very important Equinox and not just because it features Venus and Mercury retrograde, and is right in the middle of 2 eclipses.

We are moving between stress and success, between the density of 3D and creative force of 5D, being shaken from our lethargy and pulled from polarity into duality.

The 4D bridge is either a very attractive option or it's a 'no go zone'.

So many options but really only one choice - do you move along the Ascension path into 5d living or stay in 3D and continue to heal, integrate, align, and stay in karma cycles.

And the choice isn't obvious because it means big changes to how we live, who we live with, who is in our inner circle and who is not going to be part of our lives any more.

It is stressful and exciting at the same time.

Our energy field is stretched to the max and our emotions are in a battle with our intention.

What is the final outcome in this final countdown to our new solar year?

This is the first solar year with Pluto in Aquarius, a real watershed moment for us.

It is also the last one with Neptune in Pisces as it ends its 14 year Pisces placement.

Our Ascension path is changing course and we have to be ready for this monumental change.

A lot is changing in these next few days and weeks. Are you ready? I am!

Shine on - hands on the wheel and eyes on the road because we're traveling fast now.

We have come full circle - no way to go but up, out, and beyond.

Shine on - go with the glow.

Many bright blessings,

Jennifer Hoffman

Respect the Mercury Retrograde

Respect the Mercury Retrograde  

How to avoid disturbances and annoyances during retrograde periods 

By Jennifer Hoffman

Posted on January 17, 2025

It’s Mercury retrograde and for the next 4 to 9 weeks (including the post retro shadow period) you can expect all kinds of disruptions in communications and travel, annoying mishaps, forgetfulness, do-overs, and the typical Mercury retro snafus.

But this Mercury retro comes with a bonus - Venus is retrograde too and surprise! they both went retrograde at the same degree, 10 Aries, that will be featured in the solar eclipse of March 29.

No it’s not necessary to sit at home and do nothing for the next 12 weeks but it is an opportunity to do some serious introspection and life path review and while you’re at it, consider the results you want in your life now because this special astro aspect has only happened a few times in over 2500 years, most recently in 1248, 1782, and 1985.

Notice the 1782 date - that marked the previous Pluto in Aquarius transit - also called the ‘Age of Enlightenment’. Welcome to the Age of Enlightenment 2.0.

Now the other interesting thing about this Mercury Retrograde is its timing and path. It is time to coincide with this year’s Spring Equinox, the start of the astrological year, when the sun crosses the 0 Aries point, the very beginning of the zodiac. In ancient times this was the new year and it is a new year for us.

And Mercury will be retrograding from Aries to Pisces with this retrograde, also hitting the 0 Aries point (as will Venus) and on March 31 Neptune will hit the 0 Aries point, as will Saturn in mid-May. That is a lot of energy for new beginnings, fresh starts, and new beginnings. In fact, in 2025 the 0 Aries point will be crossed no less than 9 times. That’s a new record.

Considering everything else that has been happening in the past few months, starting with Pluto’s historic entry into Aquarius in November 2024, it’s time for a giant redo of our ascension path. What are we doing, where are we going, how are we progressing, what is our focus and what do we want to achieve - what are the results we want? That seems like a lot to consider but it all boils down to a single, common denominator - we want to be happy, feel safe and secure, to know joy, and to feel accomplished and fulfilled. If we can also feel loved, valued, and appreciated, that’s icing on the cake, as the saying goes.

And this is our time to allow that to happen. It may mean getting rid of a lot of outdated energies and people, giving ourselves an energetic makeover, taking care of ourselves, and giving our ascension path a good look. Are we connected to people who really ‘love, honor’, and respect’ us? Do we like who we are and who we are being? Do we like our life or is it time for a radical change. Remember we are also in an eclipse portal now too so anything is possible and radical moves can be expected.

So with all of this going on just remember it is Mercury retrograde until April 8, with the shadow period ending April 27. And if you feel like making some radical, life altering changes during that time, don’t be surprised.

Meanwhile, here are some guidelines for Mercury retrograde.

Mercury retrograde happens 3 or 4 times a year and it lasts for a total of around 9 weeks. It’s a time when it’s wise to be aware of the situations that can arise during these periods, such as missed communications, delays in travel, technology glitches, misplacing items, misunderstandings, and a wide variety of upsets and annoyances that always seem to happen during a Mercury retrograde.

During retrograde periods Mercury appears to slow down and go backwards and while that doesn’t really happen, from the earth’s perspective it appears to. Mercury rules communication, short travel, siblings, and karma and while it’s retrograde these situations appear to be highlighted and can cause a great deal of trouble and chaos.

For example, you’re taking a trip and you run out of gas on the way to the airport because the 2 gas stations you tried to stop at were busy or closed. During a Mercury retro you should not wait until the last minute to do something like fill your gas tank.

During a Mercury retro I misplaced my set of keys and could not find them for 2 days. I finally found then hanging on a bulletin board in the kitchen - which I had passed by dozens of times as I was looking for them but I never saw them.

If you have important meetings or events, double check your communications and make phone calls, this is not a time to rely on email. For example, you have a critical meeting set up with a new client and you have sent the scheduling emails and confirmed everything. You show up at the appointed time and the client is not there. You wait for 30 minutes and then leave, thinking you have been stood up. But the client had a computer problem and lost their email and the event address, as well as your phone number, so they did not know where to go. Mercury retrograde is never a good time to rely on electronic communications!

I have always been amazed at how many organizations schedule big maintenance projects or software upgrades during a Mercury retrograde. I don’t know if it is intentional or not, but as a former network administrator and software manager, I would never have done that without making adequate preparations and taking precautions to ensure I was covered for any unforeseen down times, problems, issues, or outages because if they are going happen, they will during a Mercury retrograde.

Some people say that you should not start new projects or sign contracts during a Mercury retro but since that would involve delaying these matters for 36 weeks out of the year, that is not logical or possible. However, it is wise to go over fine print, review all details, and to anticipate delays and do-overs during a Mercury retro.

While life doesn’t stop during Mercury retrograde it does slow down and it is a good time to refresh, regroup, renew, reconsider, release or reboot, relax, rest, and double check everything!

Here is a Mercury retrograde survival guide for you, all things to do during a Mercury retrograde which includes the period before and after the actual 4 week retrograde, called the ‘shadow’ period. Hopefully this will help you avoid problems and disruptions during this time. Overall, each Mercury retrograde lasts about 9 weeks and they happen 3 or 4 times a year.

1. allow extra time for travel and be prepared for delays, reroutes, and cancellations
2. double check your communications and if it's important, follow up in person by phone, especially for email and other electronic communication
3. any new projects started now may require review or do-overs, carefully look at all the details
4. watch where you put your things, it's easy to get distracted and forget where you put things during Mercury retro times
5. Take some time to rest, reflect, relax, review, renew or release, reconsider, and reorganize, regroup, and re-vibe your life. If things go wrong or there are problems they will come up in a Mercury retrograde and rather than responding in the same way, it may be time to reconsider your options and do something different this time.

Life is so busy that we have to go on autopilot to handle it all. This means we ‘put up with’ or tolerate a lot of things, we have learned to ignore or disregard the less annoying life challenges, and we set an acceptable level of chaos and discord in our lives. But that gets amplified with Mercury goes retrograde so we have to pay attention to it and start making changes.

Use Mercury retrograde to take some down time, reorganize and restructure those aspects of your life that could use some attention, organize your kitchen, closets, and your physical space. And know that Mercury retrograde doesn’t last forever and it will eventually be over and you’ll be back on track again - maybe with a different focus, a new perspective, and less chaos and disruption.

January 2025 Energy Report

January 2025 Energy Report

By Jennifer Hoffman

Posted on January 15, 2025

We are barely 2 weeks into the new year and so much is going on that it feels like it should be June already. I told you the energy would be moving faster this year and if you heard the 2025 Predictions you know that so much more will happen this year. We are in a big power period, one of several that we will have this year and the energy will be moving non-stop. If you missed the 2025 Predictions call you can get it at this link. The GPS 2025 program which is the 21 Day Ascension Re-Vibe is available at this link.

I almost didn’t do this month’s energy report partly because I covered so much of January’s energy in the 2025 Predictions call and to be honest, the days have been moving so quickly that I can’t believe it’s already nearly mid-January. But it’s tradition and I have been doing monthly energy reports for over 20 years so here it is. And in February we will celebrate 23 years online as my first website went up and my first newsletter went out on February 4, 2004. What a ride it has been. More on that in a later article for now, here’s the January 2025 energy report.

Since we ended 2024 with a strong Capricorn new moon on December 30, we enter 2025 on a high note, sort of. The year began with the echoes of a new moon representing fresh starts, new actions, bold moves, and beginnings.  At least we do not have Pluto in Capricorn to deal with any longer but we still have a strong energy aspects to start this new month and new year. A lot is happening this month with Mars returning to Cancer, Mercury transiting Capricorn, the nodes changing sign to Pisces,  the end of a 19 year cycle, and  a big Pisces stellium which last happened in 1989.

It is going to be a good year for putting new plans and projects in place, for finally creating the transformations you have wanted to create for so long, and for coming to terms with your truth and your light. And it starts in January so let’s sit up, pay attention, take notes, and ask the right questions.

Get the GPS 2025 program and 2025 New Year call at this link. 

January opens with the echo of the December 30 Capricorn new moon which featured strong oppositions – planets at 180 degrees and most importantly, a Mars/Pluto opposition from Leo to Aquarius.  I call this a ‘power to the people’ moment which started in November 2024 and will last through  April 2025. It is not going to go away quickly and it will have a profound effect on society and culture all over the world. Watch what happens as people rise up against the 3D energies of corruption, control, domination, power over, separation, competition, and disconnection from spirit.

This new moon in Capricorn is not a rehash of the past 16 years of that tough Pluto transit, it is a new energetic boundary reminding us of where we have come and what we do not want to repeat. I see it as a 4D bridge activation, creating a space of awareness of where we began in 3D and shining a strong light across that bridge to new levels of joy, peace, love, abundance, and prosperity.

The 5D portal is wide open now so there are options available and choices to be made and many, many people are choosing the light. The first Pluto in  Capricorn transit opened the portal to self-sovereignty. The latest one opened the portal to energetic sovereignty. We are energetically sovereign, aware, and ready for action. We know this, now we have to live our lives within this understanding.

Then on January 7 Mars retrogrades back into Cancer, the sign it first entered in September 2024 to begin its ongoing opposition to Pluto as that planet finished its final Capricorn retrograde and moved into Aquarius. I’m telling you, this Mars/Pluto opposition is the cornerstone for the new empowered 5D paradigm and will help many people choose empowering transformation and move into higher frequencies.

The next day Mercury enters Capricorn to hold that transformation and decision space for us as we get more ‘gentle’ nudges from the Universe about moving through the 5D portals to create our 5D paradigms. These gentle nudges can be  soft whispers of a need for something different to a full out disintegration of our reality so we can start over. For some people this will be an easy, gentle process; for others it will be a real challenge. But whatever form your transformation takes, the goal is the same – this is our moment to become aware of, align with, integrate, and embody a 5D energy paradigm.

A full moon on January 13 is in Cancer, bringing attention to the Mars/Pluto opposition and brings the Sun and Moon into its orbit of influence. We have a strong presence by the warrior planet Eris, as well as the opening stellium in Pisces (a stellium refers to 3 or more planets in the same sign) which comes to full peak around January 15. My guides have been telling me for weeks that January 15 was an important date but they did not tell me why, they usually don’t give me all of the information.

This Pisces stellium highlights the ongoing presence of both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, holding the energy for spiritual awareness and integration and grounding. With so many planets present there, we get the full effect. Remember the chariot parade from the movie Ben-Hur? And with the North Node in Pisces for the first time in 19 years, since 2006, we are on a spiritual roll here.

Do you remember me saying that  we would be getting spiritual support for this part of our ascension path and that Neptune in Pisces has been holding that energy for us since 2011? Well now it’s time to take our victory lap, to enter the winner’s circle, and congratulate ourselves for a job well done. I am not saying this ascension path is over, just that we have arrived at another significant milestone and we can take a minute to celebrate.

And that’s just half of the month. Ready for the rest? We have a new moon on January 29 which is also the Chinese New Year and this year is the year of the snake, an interesting testament to the transformation of this year because snakes shed their skin when it is time to replace it because they have outgrown the old one.  In this 9 numerology year, symbolizing endings which create space for beginnings, what a beautiful synergy.

So we will have to ask ourselves:

 What ‘skins’ are we ready to shed now?

What is attached to them that is going to also leave our reality?

Are we ready to let it all go?

There is always a choice in every situation and what we choose is what we are ready to align with in this moment. With so many energy cycles ending and renewing now, avoid judging what you were not ready to see, do, understand, acknowledge, or release before today. Because ultimately, it is what you do in this moment that matters.  

The energy theme for January is truth and this is a very big topic because it does include what we believe is true but it is also inclusive of our truth, what we believe about ourselves, our reality, and our power, light, and spirit.

This month we have an opportunity to create a new truth, one that is not determined by how we want others to acknowledge and accept us, the truth that we mirror to gain the love we so desperately want from those who do not, will not, or cannot love us, the truth others will connect with so we can be part of their group, or the truth that will help us do the healing work that will resolve our healing missions.

This is the truth that is aligned with our energetic sovereignty, the truth that is aligned with our 5D life path instead of what we have experienced in our 3D realities.  We have to acknowledge this truth about ourselves first before we can present it to others. It won’t be easy to change lifetimes of mirroring the truth we want others to believe about us, to rise up out of our fear of persecution karma repeating itself, to break the cycles and patterns of our fear of betrayal and rejection and set forth a new truth that creates a different reality.

It may not be easy to affirm a truth that requires us to release all of our attachments and connections, to let go of years, decades, and lifetimes of effort to acknowledge that what we have tried so hard to create will not happen as we want it to, hoped it would, or tried so hard to manipulate into being. But this is the threshold of our 5D portal that is waiting for us to shed our energetic baggage so we can enter it.

Many years ago (around 2009), while I was hosting my radio show on Blog Talk Radio, which was on the air from 2008 to 2016, I said that the portal to our new energetic realities was very narrow, similar to the biblical tale of the camel going through the eye of the needle. And if you imagine your energetic baggage like a big backpack on your back, like a camel’s hump, there is only room for you to get through that portal. There is no room for you and your energetic baggage, it just won’t fit. You have to decide whether you are ready to shed your baggage to enter the portal now, or not. It is a yes or no choice, and there is no judgment about it.  Like crossing the 4D bridge, your choice opens new energetic portals and it is final – there is no turning back. You know this on a soul level, which is why the choice can be so hard.

And it’s also why January’s full moon on the 13th is such a powerful motivator for truth, being, alignment, and transformation, preparing us for the new moon on January 29 in a process that was started with the December 30, 2024 new moon.

With Pluto now firmly in Aquarius, another ‘no turning back’ milestone on this ascension path, we have our new 5D soul mission before us. Do we have the courage to embrace it? Are we moving forward with confidence or turning back with regret because we (still) have hope for different outcomes? Ponder this question as you experience the transformative aspects of January and the ‘skin’ you know you have outgrown.

It’s a powerful month, the start of a powerful year. And In this 9 year, January is a 1 month which means from the outset we start the year primed for new beginnings, fresh starts, elevated paradigms, and the opportunity to explore our energetic sovereignty free from the baggage of the past and the bondage of our energetic prisons.

If you have the courage to shine big and brightly, you will find this a month that is both challenging and freeing and by month-end your life may look very different than it did when the month began.

Have a wonderful  month.
