Today’s energy is defined by a powerful New Moon that will act as a major emotional and spiritual reset. As the final New Moon of the zodiac cycle, it brings a potent frequency of rebirth and fresh starts. As old chapters close, we are urged to surrender and release all that no longer serves us to make room for the new cycle that begins in two days.
This New Moon brings a deliberate depth allows your system to be upgraded. Emotions may feel amplified and significant, and your thoughts foggy and hard to articulate as the energy takes you deep into your inner world where new beliefs, new ways of thinking, and a clearer sense of what you came here to be and do can begin to unfold. While your mind may feel clouded, your heart is expanding, allowing you greater access to the intuitive and emotional wisdom you have gained in recent weeks. It is this wisdom that will enable you to trust in a direction you cannot yet see clearly.
Be mindful that stepping into a new version of yourself requires a quiet, steady courage. It can feel daunting to trust a vision that hasn’t yet fully materialized, but the alternative is staying anchored to the patterns you have already outgrown. Let these New Moon energies support what needs to be surrendered, and trust that you are ready for what comes next.
It is the first month of the new year and we’re all excited about that. This is a time when we are full of promise and resolve ‘to do better’ than the previous year and hope that we won’t get repeats of the past. This new year brings in a whole new vibe and we can make this year a fresh start. But that won’t happen with resolutions, new goals, and hope or wishful thinking. It will happen with resolve, intention, determination, and operating from a fresh perspective.
January 2024 is an opportunity for a fresh start but that begins after we take care of some loose ends and unfinished business. So bring in the fresh energy but don’t ignore those nagging leftover odds and ends that demand our attention because they may become our stumbling blocks later this year. January’s Energy Report reminds us that routine maintenance and energy tune-ups are essential to a smooth journey. And this 2024 edition of the newsletter begins my 21st year of writing the newsletter, energy reports, and sharing these insights, resources, and information with you.
It is January and we are in a year that promises fresh starts and new beginnings. After the heavy energy of the last 4 years, and especially that of 2023, we are ready for anything that is not a repeat of the past. But before we try to move ahead too quickly January’s energy will be sending us reminders that any old business which crops up requires our attention and resolution. Completion and closure are especially important now and if we don’t want a repeat of the past we will have to give it some attention now and then.
This newsletter marks my 21st year of writing and sharing these insights, resources, and information with the world. Little did I know, when I was first contacted in October 2003 by Archangel Uriel, that I would be doing this work for over 2 decades. To be honest, I thought it would be about 6 months and then I would continue with my career in business and technology. In fact, all I wanted to do was to be ‘a senior VP of IT in a fortune 50 company.’ Just goes to show that the Universe has its own plans. I don’t regret any of it, it has been an honor and a privilege to be part of this ascension cycle. But it has had its moments and we have shared a lot together.
And when I was sharing the GPS 2024 theme of the SHIFT with my guides, I had to laugh because the first series I wrote in February 2004 with the first newsletter was on the shift, so we have come full circle.
In the 8 year that is 2024 January’s 1 energy makes this month a 9 vibe which is the number of completion. So yes there will be times when we have to go over old ground as we prepare for new paths. That is not a bad thing, it’s simply part of life. The difference now is we can truly put the past in the past where it belongs and not have it crop up at the most inconvenient times and disrupt the present, preventing us from moving forward.
A 9 month at the beginning of the year just creates an opportunity for review and reconsideration of old business. It is OK to start new things, we just cannot ignore the past and we have Mercury in retrograde shadow until January 21. We never truly put the past away, part of our mind’s function is to remember the past so we don’t repeat unwanted or unnecessary actions that have not worked out before. Now we have the understanding and spiritual maturity to use the past more purposefully and intentionally, as a stepping stone instead of a millstone.
January’s theme is revitalization and that sounds good to me. So much of what has happened in the last 4 years in particular and in the 15 years of Pluto in Capricorn has been an exercise in futility, disappointment, challenge, and testing our commitment. I look back on when Pluto entered Capricorn, in 2008, and I am inspired by the growth, awakening, and new awareness that it has introduced (although forced would be a better word). Of course I would have preferred that it was not accompanied by so many challenges on so many levels but that is what Pluto does.
For several years, especially with the US Pluto return in 2022, I have been writing about the vast social, economic, and political changes that are part of Pluto in Capricorn. This Pluto cycle was no different. In fact, it was even more global in nature because of the internet and of the level of connection we have today. And this month Pluto finally exists Capricorn and begins its 20 year journey into Aquarius. That is going to bring a monumental shift in global energies and that is already beginning. It will make a brief return to Capricorn later this year but by November it will be fully in Aquarius and ready to begin its work there.
It was rather sobering to realize that when Pluto leaves Aquarius, in 2043, I will be well into my 80s. For many of us, we will spend the rest of our lives with Pluto in Aquarius. Some of us may see Pluto enter Pisces. For the Pluto in Leo generation, from 1938 to 1958, Pluto in Aquarius will be a Pluto opposition. The Leo generation saw World War 2 and the installation of the globalism that has been a source of tyranny for decades. The opposition now will see the dismantling of this system and it is high time. Pluto is unforgiving and relentless in its energy cycles. It often allows things to get out of control before it comes in and brings its own version of truth and right sizing.
We’re due for this change now and Pluto in Aquarius is going to usher in the light that will further unravel so much of the 3D darkness that we have lived in for a very long time. Pluto works like a glacier, moving slowly and steadily forward, carving up the land as it passes over it. The results of a glacier’s movement are not immediately visible, but the landscape it moves over is permanently altered.
January’s new moon on the 11th is the last hurrah for Pluto in Capricorn as it features a wide but potent aspect to Pluto. It is not going to leave Capricorn without reminding us of all of the changes it brought so we don’t forget that our landscape has been permanently altered. There is no returning to the old ways so we might as well accept that a new higher vibe paradigm has moved in and learn how to make the most of it.
The full moon on January 25 features Pluto front and center as it makes a conjunction to the sun in Aquarius and opposes the moon in Leo. The energy of that full moon may just see the fall of some public and government figures who have been operating in very selfish and self-centered ways, and who have taken advantage of the public for far too long. I think we will be seeing the dis-integration of quite a few ivory towers this month.
And there is more Capricorn action this month, especially at the full moon, which will take us into February, with Mercury, Venus, and Mars all in Capricorn. We are not finished with that energy yet. This will bring in the personal aspects of Capricorn’s clearing and if there is any old business we have not taken care of yet, we will have a chance to do so in late January going into February.
I am already getting rave reviews for the GPS 2024 program – The SHIFT – from students. They are saying ‘The first lesson made me realize how much I limit myself and try to ‘fix’ everyone. I have always felt so responsible for everyone’s happiness which is why I am always tired and angry. I am definitely going to apply the Synergy lesson to my life now.’
And ‘The Harmony lesson was a big one for me. I now understand my need to avoid conflict and keep everyone happy. Not doing that any more is going to be such a relief.’
You can join the GPS 2024 Program – THE SHIFT – now and access these energy tools and resources that will make 2024 a fabulous year. It’s time, we have suffered enough.

On January 21 we have the big move of Pluto into Aquarius on the same day as the Sun also moves into Aquarius. That is significant because Aquarius is a 5D planet and we are going to officially be in 5D territory from here on out. Now that Pluto has permanently altered the geopolitical landscape, it is going to work on the energetic landscape. January 21 is also the day that Mercury finally ends its retro shadow and the node is at 19 Aries, the degree of the April 2024 total solar eclipse.
That is why I have been saying that we need to start being more aware of the energy, of energetic resonance, congruence, and flow because this is where we awaken and remember our true power as creators. Never doubt that our power to create our own reality extends to influencing the global reality as well. And with the vast majority of humanity connected as we are today, that influence is powerful indeed.
We are truly the family of humanity and we have a strong awareness of and connection to everything that happens around the world. Nearly every place in the world is accessible to us via the internet. For example, did you know that there is an internet application called Radio Garden that you can use to listen to any radio station in the world, in real time? I use it to listen to radio stations in France, Australia, and other countries around the world. In fact, if you are trying to learn a new language, it is a great tool to use to practice your fluency. I have read that if you can understand radio announcers, who talk very fast, you can consider yourself to be fluent in a language.
Everything is super charged today, changes happen with lightning speed, and events take hours or days, not weeks or months. I was very active on the internet in the late 1990s and wrote the first book on the internet and business then. I quoted an article that said that an email could go around the world in 24 hours. Now a social media post can go around the world in seconds. While you may not like everything on the internet, it can be a force for good, for awakening, connection, and for enlightenment.
January’s theme is revitalization and it is a welcome step in a blessed direction as we could all use some new perspectives, focus, and direction now. To revitalize something is to bring it back to life, to refresh its purpose, to give it a new mission and focus. What a fitting theme for the first month of 2024, a year of great potential. We can’t revitalize without including the past or remembering why something didn’t work out, was disappointing, or did not meet our expectations. Sometimes it is our expectations which got us into trouble in the first place, so maybe that is a good place to begin our revitalization.
If you have spent much of the last 4 years dealing with life and health challenges, like me, this is a good month to bring new life to your life. What is important to you now may have changed and that’s a great place to start. Life is dynamic, not static, and we do change our priorities and possibilities over time. Use January’s theme of revitalization to enhance and support what is important to you, and to prune away what is not.
This is a good month to do an energy inventory and assess what is truly important and meaningful to you, and what no longer matters. You may find that you just cannot tolerate having these things in your life any more, and if so then it’s time to walk
away. Walking away can also mean disconnecting energy cords and removing our energetic support for any beliefs, attitudes, memories, and situations that no longer have a place in our life or in our energy field.
My Cord Disconnect and Healing process is your resource for that and you can learn aboutit here.
We do not have the energy to support what we no longer resonate with, nor do we need to. And letting go is part of revitalization, especially when we are letting go of things that we can no longer tolerate, manage, or want to deal with. So do not be afraid to let go of old energy paradigms because that is necessary to creating new ones. And the new 5D Pluto in Aquarius paradigm is going to bring in some very big changes, just like it did during its previous Aquarius cycle that started in 1778.
There is more good news with the Alpha Omega portals in effect this month as these support both beginnings and endings and really help tie up loose ends. And Pluto in Aquarius is going to have a close aspect to Jupiter in Taurus for several months, shaking up the rampant materialism and self-centered behavior that seems to have become a new social norm. And that includes the illusions of glamour, fame, and money that have become the new marketing models for so many on the internet.
Have you noticed that there are fewer ‘influencers’ now, and fewer people trying to gain online celebrity and fame by flaunting their usually phony lifestyles and money? Watch that decline even further as Pluto in Aquarius shifts that landscape too. There will be far more focus on the 5D energies of community, connection, cooperation, collaboration, and creativity and far less on 3D carats, cash, and crass behavior.
If you have felt defeated by what has been going on in the world in the past few years January is a good time to regain your mojo. The hard part of being awakened and aware is that you have a different perspective and a deeper understanding of world events and happenings. You see the truth but you may be the lone beacon of light trying to shine in the darkness. But as people awaken, and that has been increasing exponentially lately, you become the voice of truth that everyone wants to listen to. Miracles and energy shifts abound now so be open to receiving because it’s time for the light to shine.
January is a potent shift in awareness and a much needed energy reboot that is welcome after the heavy energy of 2023. It ushers in just enough change while also maintaining just enough of the status quo to remind us to deal with the past we want to have closure with so we can truly start the year fresh. Remember January’s 9 energy is not an invitation to rush out of the starting gate, it’s a reminder to make sure we have the route planned, gas in the car, we have done the routine maintenance to prepare for the road trip, and have plenty of snacks to keep us nourished.
It definitely will not be a boring month and it will bring in fresh ideas and perspectives, new plans and projects, and a revitalization of our perspectives so we can truly make the most of this year of the SHIFT and of our new 5D I AM paradigm. These are the themes in my new GPS 2024 program and you can register for it at this link. These tools and resources will be especially useful and helpful in making the changes and shifts you want to make so you can revitalize your life, bring new energy into your reality, and start exercising your intention, manifestation, and miracle energies to create a glorious, joyful, joy-filled life now.
A friend who was having a reading with Linda Dillon asked if I’d like to ask a question. I asked Michael for any updates in direction and some of the things he replied are rattling around in my head.
Michael: It is a time of new beginnings, of fresh starts, of taking a path both within and without….
To truly explore. No, this is not just a journey of your heart. This is not a journey of [only] your soul or your mind. It is the integrated expression. It is the truth of the experience of your yearning. It is the blossoming of your ability.
Do not be afraid, sweet brother, of departures. You know full well that your life has been filled with departures. … (1)
Let us begin a new adventure. And let us begin together. (2)
OK. “New beginnings, … fresh starts, … taking a path both within and without.” “Explore.” “Do not be afraid … of departures.” “Let us begin a new adventure … together.”
Remember as you read this: All of us work with an archangel. We’re either one of the legions of Michael or of another of the Mighty Ones. So read this as if he were speaking to you, which he can easily do. And probably wants to do. He’s not a hermit.
The whole reason I share these excerpts from my readings is that not all people can afford them or think they’re meant to have them. I’ve had readings since 1975/6 (not all recorded unfortunately). And they’ve always explained events to me or steered me in the right direction. (3)
Back to what he said. It’s the word “departures” that caught my attention here. It’s left up to me to examine my approaches and see where departures might occur. And I’ve been doing that since hearing from him.
And I feel as if I’ve been staring at the answer the whole time and have just not been willing – for one reason or another – to acknowledge it.
The departure – and new paradigm – is this: The Third Dimension is characterized by linear thinking; the higher dimensions are characterized by flow.
I know this from experience. When I’m in transformative love, which Michael has characterized as Seventh Dimensional, (4) if I treat love as a stationary object, I feel nothing. But if I respect the fact that love must flow and is by its nature a flow, then I’m immersed in a wave of love as it passes up from my heart and through me to the rest of the world.
I experience love as it flows through me. I believe the same could be said of all divine states. I hesitate because I’m not aware of peace as a flow. And I can’t just turn a switch and get back there to find out. Later perhaps, but not now.
Bliss is definitely a flow and uplifts us. As an aside, bliss carries us to a higher vantage point from which the answers to our problems are obvious. We call these “realizations.” They’re simply obvious conclusions reached when we see things from a higher perspective.
The flow of love inside the heart is endless. Of it Michael said:
AAM: What you do when you bring the love up and out, when you begin to send, to share – it is as if you have in fact activated what we call the wellspring. The visual you may think of is the volcano.
It is not that you empty out. It is that you discover that that wellspring is SO full and overflowing that it is a steady stream. That steady stream does not ever, ever (think of what I say!)… it never has to cease! (5)
It never ceases. We’re never going to run out. Love will always flow. The best things in life are … eternal and ever-flowing.
So love, bliss, and the other divine states, which are the most delightful and profound experiences we could hope for, are ever flowing and will be available to us forever upon our Ascension.
Love and bliss flowing, I think, determines that all beings living in that setting also flow. The fact that the tsunami of love that flows on the higher dimensions sweeps our cares and fears away makes flowing easier. All obstructions are removed.
So structure, function, process, and pattern – or linearity – is the paradigm of the Third Dimension, but flow – or what I once called “dynamic balance” – (6) is the paradigm of the higher realms.

(3) For example:
Reading with Vancouver medium Irene Griffey, Nov 29 1979:
The inspiration of thoughts and ideas has grown [I wrote my first book in 1978] and will grow stronger as time goes by in your own progression and expression of your soul.
Your journey has been to give the expression in words and in the written language that many will be able to read and to assimilate. You will be helping to nurture many seeds that have been sown by others and so perpetuate the ring of truth and light of the universal energy.
Go forward in the knowledge that you are beginning to fulfill your path and that the coming year – the new one to be – will see so much that will be accomplished.
And you will be able to recognize the beginning of a new pattern in your life, one that will be tremendous in its works, and also fulfilling to you as the soul. And also let me say, at this time, it will be hard work.
But it will gradually open the floodgates of your own creative energy and expression. We encourage you and you have through your own efforts reached this point in your life.
Betty Sailee to Steve Beckow, March 1, 2009.
You have an intricate connection with the one called Michael and his “Sword of Truth.” Your seeking of the truth is not something you have come to in this life. This “drive” is important and a key to who you truly are. Seek more of this within, Dear Child, for the information is there for you to access when you are ready. Only you will know when this time arrives.
Divine Love through Suzanne Spooner to Steve Beckow, June 3, 2011.
Being the organizer of great teachings is your purpose. You give a platform for the students of ascension & the guides, teachers, & masters of the golden age.
These have all been true guides.
(4) Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?
AAM: It is the Seventh Dimension. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Jan. 20, 2016.) [Hereafter AAM.]
