Welcome to the New Year. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.
The year kicked off astrologically with a Full Moon in Cancer on January 3rd in the final degrees of the USA 1st House. The theme is family, the context in which we spent our early, impressionable years. During this developmental phase we were conditioned by family beliefs, societal approval standards and a paradigm that not only divided us, but wounded our tender souls.
Around age two we began to experience intense emotions as we detached from the symbiotic relationship with our parents and started to individuate. Our emotions were flexible then, shifting from one to the next in rapid succession. In our innocence we mistook our emotions for feelings and allowed them to overpower us. We acted out our frustration in tantrums and defiance, our joy in jubilant play. As we matured, however, we lost our emotional fluidity and developed attitudes that cemented certain emotions in place.
All of this was natural, but what we didn’t know then, and probably will be shocked to learn now, is that emotions are not feelings. Yes, we feel them, and interpret their meaning according to previous experience, but that is not their function.
A couple of weeks ago, a fellow astrologer named Shannon Gill forwarded a video about the true functioning of emotions at the quantum level. This information was so enlightening, I had to share it with you. 2026 is a year of great change supporting a shift in collective consciousness and high probability for awakening and evolving our consciousness to a new frequency. Some call this 5-D. And by the way, Shannon has developed a new astrological system that provides us with a picture of our new identity and purpose at this time. She offers 5 D New Earth Activation readings. If you’d like to see the astrology of your new self, you can go to her website and schedule a session.
Emotions are not feelings
“Emotions aren’t feelings that happen to you, they’re frequencies, specific, measurable electromagnetic oscillations broadcast by your nervous system, that tune the probability field surrounding you to specific channels of reality.”
Video from Quantum Rationalist
That’s quite a mouthful, so let’s break it down. Emotions are frequencies, like radio waves that our bodies broadcast up to 3 meters beyond the boundary of our skin. We radiate energy frequencies. These frequencies shift throughout the day informing us of the energy we are putting out into the world. Our energy interacts with the energy fields of those around us as well as the quantum realm of potentiality. The frequency upon which we broadcast determines the experiences we will encounter.
Frequency is tied to resonance, the phenomenon of attunement. When energy fields intersect, they can create interference patterns. Our broadcast is no longer pure, but has encountered another field tuned to a different channel. Static occurs as the two energies attempt to find a common ground. Either we allow our energy to shift into resonance with the other, or we are able to hold our field and draw the other’s frequency to resonate with ours. Usually we find something in the middle.
But we also create interference patterns within our own system. Our channels don’t broadcast clear information. For example, we may really want abundance in our life, but another part of our psyche doubts we can have it. Now we’re broadcasting two conflicting energies simultaneously and sabotaging our ability to create the outcome we desire. This leads to static and chaos. The quantum field responds to our frequency and delivers experiences that resonate with our frequency. When we cloud our intention with doubt or fear, the quantum field delivers chaos.
But that isn’t the only obstacle to clear energy broadcast. When we look at emotions as feelings, our minds kick in and start to create stories to explain them. Think about it, you suddenly feel sad, or angry, perhaps anxious. Immediately the mind begins to search for a reason. You can watch it digging through your experience and coming up with an answer. The mind won’t rest until it can know.
The problem is that the story amplifies the emotion and we get stuck in its frequency. We bring in the past, our wounds and grudges, our beliefs about ourselves and how others hurt us. Now the emotion intensifies. We get captured by a story from our past.
Amplification interrupts the natural cycle of frequency shift. As this frequency intensifies, it gains power. When it encounters the quantum field – the substrata of our reality – we draw to us the very experiences that resonate with our broadcast. When we broadcast anger, or fear, we get scenarios that trigger more of the same. In other words, we create our reality through the broadcast of our frequency. We draw to us experiences that resonate with that channel.
So should we suppress anger and fear when they arise? No, because once again, suppression creates static in the system. The energy of the emotion does not go away. Instead is gets corrupted by interference and broadcasts erratic signals. The clearer and steadier the frequency we broadcast, the more successful our reality creation.
So what do we do? The answer is nothing. We do nothing. We don’t suppress, we don’t amplify. We observe. And here’s the real shock. If we don’t interfere with the frequency broadcast, it runs its cycle in 90 seconds and shifts to another channel. This tells us that we are oscillating all the time. It’s called “Effective Flexibility,” which means we easily shift from one frequency/emotion to another. Our frequency is modulating moment to moment. The body is informing us of the energy through which we interact with the world.
You can see the problem here. We let our emotions run us, wrestling with them, suffering from them, becoming overwhelmed by the intensity of them, even making ourselves ill from all that inner static and incoherence. We were never meant to be victims of our emotions. We were meant to receive their information and manage our frequencies in order to create the life we desire to live.
It may take some time for this information to sink in, but the first step is to shift perception. When an emotion arises, recognize it as a frequency that can shift in 90 seconds. I tried it out. I was suddenly seized with sadness one evening and watched as my mind leaped into action, seeking a cause. But I stilled my mind and watched the sadness. Felt it peak and decline. Gone in 90 seconds.
I encourage you to watch the video. The link is at the end of the quote above. It’s filled with information on how to master your frequency operating system. It’s only ½ hour long but so filled with information you’ll want to take notes. Don’t miss this opportunity for empowerment.
2026 is a #1 year. New beginnings. The stage is set for enormous change and potential. It’s time to be about the business of using our mastery to co-create a new reality and we do that with our frequency broadcast system. The video will give you step by step instructions on how to fine tune your frequency broadcast to draw forth possibilities that resonate with that frequency. What if we broadcast joy, love, contentment, gratitude? Imagine how our lives could change.
There’s an old saw about how humans didn’t come with a manual, but that’s not accurate. We have an internal system that keeps us informed of our broadcast frequency, which in turn alerts us to the possible scenarios we are drawing to ourselves. We can learn to work with the system to create the reality we prefer.
Here’s another quote from the video: “Your emotional frequency doesn’t just determine your individual reality, it contributes to the collective frequency field that determines shared reality for everyone in proximity. When you develop the capacity to maintain coherent broadcast, regardless of environmental entrainment, you become a stabilizing influence in collective fields.”
That’s the positive work we can do this year – stabilize our frequency output so we become a calming presence.
Not only humans broadcast energy frequencies. The entire cosmos is broadcasting frequencies that we can resonate with. Astrology, therefore, is another resource that informs us of the potential of the moment by revealing the configurations of heavenly bodies that create shifting energetic contexts. These contextual energies form a matrix of frequencies that can support our reality creation. So let’s take a look at some of the highlights of January.
2026 – January energies
As I mentioned above, we are currently in the waning phase of the Full Moon in Cancer with its themes of family, security and nurturance. That Full Moon occurred right on the USA natal Sun emphasizing our collective identity as a country. The transiting Sun, at the same time, was in our 1st House conjunct both Venus and Mars. All our personal planets are clustered in the house of our identity, with the exception of the Moon which is spotlighting our nation’s Sun.
The emphasis is on mastering our personal lives. One of the key themes of Cancer is safety. We don’t live in a safe and secure environment any more. How are we going to create safety within this chaotic energy field? The answer again is frequency management. When we become aware of our emotions as information, rather than feelings, we can learn to adjust our frequency with the knowledge that we have the power to draw to us experiences that resonate with the message we are broadcasting. We can create our own safety.
The Full Moon also graces us with a tight stellium with Venus and Mars tightly conjunct on either side of the Sun. Venus is the feminine principle of receptivity. She carries the grace, wisdom and the values of love, peace, beauty, community and intimate relationships. Mars carries the divine masculine, meant to protect and defend and execute our will, but has been twisted into roles of aggressor, warrior, bully, dominator. These energies are woefully out of balance in our society. One of the contributions we can make to our world is the balance and equality we give to each side of our dual nature. We need to BE more, and DO less.
We are caught up in a treacherous race to the top, competing with one another, living in anxiety. The video has a lot to say about anxiety and how to manage it. We’re all anxious – what horrific action is coming next? The world is so dark and chaotic right now, anything can happen. If we can remember that our emotions are informing us of our frequency, we can actively manage our reality creation. If we want peace in the world, we must develop peace within the self. We can learn to locate and maintain that frequency. As more of us broadcast peace, others become entrained to the energy field. They move into resonance with us.
The United States and the world order are under tremendous pressure right now. I write about our nation’s chart because it shows us how we can contribute to the collective through the frequencies that are active at various moments. We can attune to those frequencies of the planets and take advantage of their support. Our country is going through a rebirth process, which necessarily has a disintegration phase. That’s the role of Pluto, to break down the structures and institutions that have held our paradigm in place. A new paradigm has already formed and will slowly replace the paradigm of masculine domination. We’ll talk more about that when Uranus enters Gemini for a seven year journey.
January 9th carries a beautiful resonance. The Sun, Venus and Mars are at 20 degrees of Capricorn exactly opposite Jupiter in Cancer. Jupiter is a deeply spiritual energy of abundance, joy, faith, expansion, opportunity. Tuning into this aspect can lift our own frequency into resonance, help us balance our masculine and feminine sides, clarify our values and develop right use of will. Make time to pause and feel into these energies, receive their frequency and allow your system to resonate with them.
The next New Moon occurs on January 18th at 28+ Capricorn, conjunct Mercury, Venus and Mars, sextile Saturn in Pisces and Black Moon Lilith at the final degree of Scorpio, and trine Uranus. The presence of BML brings in the theme of rectifying the demonization of the Feminine. Women have been blamed for all our problems – Eve through curiosity, Pandora who kept us safe by storing evil in her box, Lilith who claimed her rightful equality, and who knows how many innocent women drowned or burned alive as witches.
Capricorn in its highest expression is about self-mastery and spiritual maturity. Opposite Cancer, it is also where we conquer our fear. Ruled by Saturn, making its way through the final degrees of Pisces, the focus is on letting go of the past. We are leaving behind the false beliefs, the outworn attitudes and stories of our lives in preparation for Saturn’s entry into Aries on February 18th. A whole new 30-year cycle of manifestation begins with an emphasis on our spiritual adulthood as Saturn forms a conjunction with Neptune on February 20th. We’ll look at that more deeply next month.
Chiron turned direct on January 2nd. Our healing journey continues. Only two planets are still retrograde – Jupiter and Uranus, both of which will station direct in the next two months.
January 19th is an eventful day. Venus will be conjunct Pluto at 3+ Aquarius, while Mars is trine Uranus and Saturn is sextile Uranus – both compatible aspects. Another opportunity to get a boost of love, awakening and responsibility.
I’ll close with one more quote from the Quantum Rationalist: “You are consciousness operating a biological frequency generator that broadcasts on different channels. The frequencies arise and shift. Your essential nature remains unchanged.”
I am hoping that we can begin a conversation and support one another throughout this year. I will look into the private chat option on Substack. In the meantime, if you have any questions, or just want to share your experience, please feel free to leave a comment.
I want to thank all of you who were so kind and supportive about my last post. I appreciate both your comments and emails. I’ll be back in February to discuss the big energetic shift from Pisces to Aries.
Blessings,
Diana
