This is the Week Our Shift Accelerates - Monday Morning Check-In Post

How Are You??!!

Portals/Beings that Appeared to Jon in His Dream

I went to a Valentine’s Day Market at the Armory on Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood on Saturday. The space, once a National Guard installation, was bought and transformed by the city into our largest indoor park district building in 1998. It was filled with people selling their handmade, handgrown, handbaked, handcooked, and handdesigned wares. The weather was beautiful for mid-February in Chicago, and every single person I interacted with was kind, generous, and operating more joyfully than in quite some time.

I took all of the good vibes with me and spread them around everywhere else I went. They continued to be immediately reflected to me - from the cashier who tossed some candies into my bag after I made her laugh when I said, “Who fucking cares,” to her Valentine’s Day greeting, to the woman who danced on the sidewalk to “Dancing Queen” which was blasting from my open car windows as I was car dancing along to it, to the shop owner who had cookies and other treats out and talked my ear off more than I talked hers off (such a Chicago specialty), and on it went.

I landed at the Common Cup in Rogers Park around 3:00 pm to buy myself a bag of beans.

“I hope everyone is nice to you today,” I said to the cashier as I dropped a tip in his jar.

“You know,” he replied, “everyone has been super nice today.”

“Ah, so it’s not just me. I feel like something is starting to shift,” I postulated.

“Shhh! Don’t jinx it,” he said as he nodded in agreement, his voice dropping to a whisper.

“No, let’s be loud about it. It’s up to those of us noticing to birth it into being.”

“Okay, I’m in!” he said, letting me know I’d get a complimentary cup of coffee with my beans.

Before I left the house that morning, Jon shared with me a dream he had the night before. He witnessed twelve-sided, energetic portals appearing in the ethers all over the world. Each of the twelve points that connected the sides was an access area for the higher-dimensional beings operating as our support on Earth, each one specific to a particular being or collective.

In the dream, there were murmurs about a general strike. Suddenly, critical mass occurred, the strike ignited, and spread like wildfire. There was no electricity in many places. It rapidly became obvious to everyone that the powers that were actually had no power without the people’s agreement. It took only two days for major changes to begin.

The portals he saw felt to me like a metaphor for a level of consciousness taking hold, a true awakening. There are many more of us who are not in the Epstein files than those who are. Suddenly, there is an obvious commonality among many of us who have appeared to be on different sides for a long time. Being named in the Epstein files as a predator trumps tribalism for the rest of us.

The electricity being cut off is another metaphor about power - a reset, as it was cut off and then reconnected.

The groundswell began with Neptune’s (January 26th) and Saturn’s (February 13th) move into Aries. How long this will take is anyone’s guess. Yet, the celestial events of the week ahead are just the kind that can shake the earth and bring power structures down.

Tomorrow, February 17th, the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse in Aquarius will be at its maximum at 6:12 am Central Time. This means the Moon will be New in Aquarius as well.

Also, tomorrow, we move out of the Year of the Wood Snake into the Year of the Fire Horse. The shedding will continue for a time even as we gallop into the new. Already, the preview of the energy is making me want to whip my hair around and stop censoring myself completely.

On Friday, February 20th, Neptune - the planet that governs our spirituality, dreams, creative expressions, and unconditional universal love - meets up with Saturn - the planet that gives structure to our identities, personally and collectively - at zero degrees Aries in a once in many thousand years conjunction.

Zero degrees in Aries is the very beginning of the zodiac. It is the big bang of the zodiac wheel. It is the place where civilizations rise and fall. It is the moment of conception and birth all at once. In a year of reality-altering astrological aspects (ie, all of our outer planets changing signs, Uranus, the last one, moves into Gemini on April 26th), this conjunction between Neptune and Saturn in zero degrees Aries stands out as the most transformative of them all.

The powerful energies will continue when two weeks from tomorrow, on March 3rd, we’ll experience a total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. This will be the bookend event to the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius that happens tomorrow.

And get ready for it now, Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces on February 25th. It will go direct during the Equinox energies on March 20th. I’ve had the advance screening of this retrograde with many minor snafus in scheduling, technology, communication, and the like. With this retro happening in the emotional sign of Pisces, the lighter we all can tread through these tangles, the better. Meltdowns may happen, and if a mess is made, the magic of making amends is a powerful tool.

To smooth the way and soothe our hearts right now, Venus moved into Pisces, where it is exalted, on February 10th (this may also be contributing to the love vibes I described above). A planet’s influence is at its most powerful when it is exalted. So Venus in Pisces is pouring on the love and beauty and will continue to do so through March 6th. This aspect opens up opportunities for connections, harmony, and financial gains connected to creative and spiritual expressions. My Venus is in Pisces, and I always enjoy it when Venus comes home to me.

Circling back to the twelve-sided signs that Jon dreamed about. The number twelve is a big one for many reasons (more so in the US, due to our base 12 system of measurement). In astrology, there are twelve signs in the zodiac. I am realizing as I am typing this that he may have been dreaming about the wheel, as in the big wheel, the what goes around comes around wheel of energy. I was recalling the other night that the Pleiadians have said we are no longer creating any future life karma. Our current shift in consciousness means that we are experiencing the karmic results of our actions in more immediate ways. It’s part of the acceleration of our shift.

Justice is coming.

I’ll be channeling live online tomorrow from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Central for the Solar Eclipse/Lunar New Year. Jon will be offering a Reiki healing as a part of this program. Join us here: https://noraherold.as.me/eclipselunarnewyear

How are you??!! Please drop me a comment below and let me know.

P.S. Last night, I stared at the image I created above of what Jon experienced in his dream and started to feel my connection to the beings and energy he experienced. I felt an immediate alteration of my consciousness as I synced up with it. Feel free to have fun with it as well.
