Breaking with the Past
I know you haven’t heard from me for a while, and I apologize. Perhaps some of you are going through deep processing as I have been. When Neptune came to rest on the 29th degree of Pisces, I was forced to give up some illusions and face the facts. The signs were there, but in Piscean fashion I had ignored them.
I turned 85 last September and found myself losing interest in things I have been passionate about. Everything suddenly felt like an effort. I simply couldn’t keep up the pace. I finally had to face the reality that I am old. I began wondering how many years I have left, and how I want to spend them. Thoughts of retirement began to haunt my quiet hours.
I began the Cosmic Cheerleader seven years ago when I saw that challenges lay ahead and I wanted to help reframe this passage through the Underworld in terms of a collective spiritual initiation. I believe that humanity is facing a crossroad where we have the opportunity to evolve to a higher frequency of consciousness. This fertile time in the evolution of humanity is akin to the quantum leap we took back in that mythical garden of Eden, when Eve reached out for more knowledge and we became self-aware. We developed intellect and a sense of self. This ego-dominated phase is coming to a close, in one of two ways: either extinction or transcendence.
At the moment, corruption oozes its way through our society, poisoning our better angels, creating great suffering for mere mortals. You might share some of my feelings of loss, disappointment and heartache at the rapid deterioration of civility in our nation. At the same time I hold hope, and trust in my fellow Americans. I have always believed that humans are basically good. As these two sets of feelings faced one another, I realized I can’t do anything about it. Humanity will wake up and transcend this darkness, or it won’t.
I wish I could say everything is going to be all right. I certainly hope so. 2025 is a transition year. We’ve been viewing our collective nightmare and learning to discern our own values. Who are we in this upside-down world? This year has been an enormous wake up call. We all had to come face to face with ourselves, look at the way we’re responding to this crisis. We’ve all been scrambling for answers. How do I live in this climate? How do I maintain peace of mind and love in my heart?
On December 10th, Neptune turned direct at 29 Pisces. When we remember that Pisces is Neptune’s domain, and that the final degree of any sign is the most potent – the moment of closure. – we can tap into the significance. We have one month before Neptune leaves Pisces behind and enters Aries on January 26. A month after that, Saturn will join Neptune at 00:45 Aries. It’s a chance for a fresh start.
I don’t think there is anything left to do, but let go. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19th happened in our first house, inspiring us to seek higher ground, to shoot for the stars. We have a heritage of idealism and it can serve us well. We’ve developed resilience. We’re fed up with the way things are. We want better. And, for the most part, we’re ready to let go of the weight of the past.
The Solstice on Sunday marked the end of our Sun’s journey to the South. These are the darkest nights of winter. Good time for contemplation and catching up on sleep. And the Christmas Spirit is upon us, one of Joy at the birth of Love in our world and the return of Light.
2025 has been a 9 year in numerology – endings and completions. 2026 is a 1 year – new beginnings. Our transpersonal planets will all take up residence in their new fire or air signs. Uranus will complete the process on April 25 when it takes its place with Sedna in Gemini. There is so much potential for rebirth.
I know I’m not the only one popping bubbles of illusion. I would love to hear about your journey, if you are willing to share it. Our stories have power and can bring encouragement to others who might believe they are alone.
On a Personal Note:
I don’t know what the future holds for this Substack column, but I need to cut back. I will not be giving readings any more but I will continue to write this newsletter, on a smaller scale. I’ll aim for once a month. My top priority is to complete the metaphysical novel I’m writing about humanity’s first awakening.
I want to thank you all for your loyalty through the past seven years, and wish you all love and comfort and joy during these festive times.
In love and peace,
Diana
