Hello Reader,

Today, the New Moon at 28 Capricorn forms a close trine to Uranus at 27 Taurus, opening a free-flowing exchange between the combined Solar–Lunar energies and Uranus’ radical, structure-shifting impulse. With everything in earth signs—Capricorn and Taurus—this moment brings our intentions into tangible, physical focus.

Rather than each of us setting a different intention, I invite you to join me in one shared intention for the year.

My reason is simple and pragmatic.

We can each hold our individual New Moon intentions and hope they are strong enough to take effect. Or we can combine our forces and amplify the strength of our intent through a single, shared ask for a better, fairer, and more spiritual world.

Within this collective intention, all individual intentions are already included. So I am not asking you for a sacrifice of any sort.

There can be no better, fairer, more peaceful, or more spiritual world without our individual lives being better for it. It is like singing together in the mountains, and each of us receiving our own personalized echo of blessing in return.

So keep it simple, bold, and all-inclusive.

Ask for peace. Ask for cooperation over domination. Ask for love over fear. Envision a world that recognizes its unity. Then let it be.

It is important to keep our thoughts calm today. Leave worry, anxiety, and anger for tomorrow. Whatever enters our mental landscape today has a way of shaping the year ahead.

Step away from the news for the next twelve hours and keep quiet. Give the intention space to take root before returning to the tasks of everyday life. Feel the Sun and Moon fusing their energies as they set the tone for the new way of life to come.

Peace,

Tatiana

Effortless Reality

Hi, I’m Tatiana—a physicist turned spiritual explorer. In Cycles, I look at how the same laws that shape the physical universe also guide our inner lives—and how we can use them in practical ways every day. Each issue explores cosmic patterns like eclipses and retrogrades through both scientific and metaphysical perspectives, with simple self-help tools from Yoga and Jin Shin Jyutsu to help you live more effortlessly in sync with life’s rhythm.
