January initiations
Description
You are about to enter into Monika’s universe, where her inquiry may align you to new dimensions. You are about to cross a threshold into the unknown; (surrender to the experience).
Hello everybody. Today when I write this is the 1st of January. Even though in antiquity many cultures did not start the year on January 1st, the Western world normalized this date across the globe through the Julian and later the Gregorian calendar, a civic agreement that shaped how time is counted, how administration moves, and how decisions are timed. The Roman decision to begin the civic year on January 1st was tied to administration and war, so consuls could take office earlier and campaign sooner; later, Julius Caesar stabilized the calendar through reform.
Other calendars remain alive and coherent on their own terms: the the Chinese calendar, Hindu calendars, Buddhist calendars, Hebrew calendar, the Islamic Hijri calendar, and others. Some are lunar, some are lunisolar, some are solar; the rhythm shapes the way a culture experiences time.
Having said that, numerology wise. We just finished 2025, and for me, to be honest, it was the best year of my life. I consider best (as inner maturation), because it was a year I gave myself the opportunity to dive deep into my nervous system and to go into areas I had not wanted to enter because I was not prepared. So I cherish that, and I also know that this new year 2026 [2+2+6=10=1), a year one, is going to propel many different things. My birthday is at the end of April, so this last year I was on a four number, very foundational (It’s the year of foundations, plans, systems, discipline, and tangible results,) and in 2026 I move into a five number, changes and adaptations. I am ready for it. 2026: freedom through movement and learning through experience inside a collective year of initiation, new starts, leadership, fresh timelines, and first moves.
One of the things I’m noticing is that until not long ago, when people gave me ideas, I was not very accepting of ideas from others. I’m a Manifestor, and the whole “you should” thing has its texture. Right now I listen. I do not have to do what anyone tells me, and I can let an idea lead me to a window of opportunity I had not considered. That is a real shift for me.
On New Year’s Eve, my friend Anastasia told me how much she was enjoying my recent articles, adding beautiful compliments that moved me; she said that entering my blog is like stepping into a new realm that is surprisingly different, yet exciting, so I listened and decided to try the opening you heard. It was her idea to use The Twilight Zone, which is perhaps my favorite TV show from the end of the 60s; it gave me chills and opened different dimensions to my young self, I am grateful for her comment; this one is for you, Ana.
I am taking this January as a real threshold. The solstice already turned the light, and now the month turns the psyche. Capricorn holds the backbone of this whole sequence. Capricorn is time; Capricorn is maturation; Capricorn is the part of you that acts with consequence, that chooses what can endure, that builds with devotion instead of mood. So I am going to walk you through this like a journey; I would like you to feel these archetypes and (embody) them because they are new cycles, and each initiation expands the exact area of your life where Capricorn sits.
Where strategy can be crafted wisely, where your individual journey can define and orient the soul for a long stretch of what is being shaped; spend time within, giving yourself the opportunity to plan for a thriving future free of shackles. You already know that I equate freedom with financial freedom, as freedom means having more than one option, and that additional option takes you away from the possibility of complying to authority against your will for lack of leverage; Venus archetype.
So here it goes.
