Leo Full Moon

This Powerful Full Moon in Leo

is a Duality Gateway activation and is highlighting any disharmony within to recognise what no longer resonates with your energy and for the highest good . Numerical 9 universal Vibrations embody the energy of closures , exposures, rediscovery , reinvention , karmic completions , attention to inner patterns and outdated cycles , beliefs are ending , preparing for new beginnings and infinite possibilities.

The full moon will activate Molecular and Cellular corrections in the DNA and genetic structures .This healing phase allows the ascending to overcome obstacles and limitations hindering the path .This planetary phase may bring in sudden surprises , unexpected blessings, divine justice , quantum leaps , profound insights , spiritual enlightenment, personal enlightenment , liberation, deeper soul connections, DNA/genetic repairs, new opportunities/awareness, and soul course corrections.

The Ascending have all been receiving powerful activations of the soul’s infinite embodiments and downloads of ancestral wisdom over the last week. Many can feel this powerful and intense energy building in energetic momentum, retreating when necessary into the preferred space within connecting deeper into the cosmic energetic womb of creation.

Expanding into this stillness as divine light codes are fully activating within. Before the next new moon many will begin to feel a deeper sense of acceptance and purpose in life , the ascending are birthing the true self into a new earth energy. Upgrading and expressing the authentic version.

This week many will experience flashbacks old memories , life reviews , coming up out of nowhere. Dream experiences may become very active , intense , conscious , vivid , lucid , with major purgings and clearings taking place during Sleep. Dizziness and head pressure may peak at times while accompanied by what is known as the elevator feeling. The inner feeling of an up and down motion.

The Ascending may also experience intense moments of heart palpitations and past grief may resurface temporarily. High pitched ringing frequency in the ears , for some it can feel like there is water trapped the ear drums that clicks and pops, jaw clicking, and an overall feeling of UN alignment in the jaw area. Regurgitation and trouble swallowing for some . This may be felt later in the week.

This is a supercharged week for things shaking up from within , breaking unhealthy thinking patterns, surprise encounters. Divine interventions, endings revelations, karmic retributions , Justice , balance , alignment, abundance, blessings, and breakthroughs are anticipated.

The stars are aligning and prayers are being answered, bringing in long-awaited blessings , preparing for manifestations. This amplified energy remains highly charged for the next 7-9 days .

During this intense full moon the ascending might experience heightened pain syndromes that appear and disappear out of no where , replaced by waves of bliss and healing throughout the physical body and energy centers. These shifts can also make the internal structures feel jittery and a little off-balance,for a short time.

The internal body is vibrating.The physical is adapting to higher vibrational energy frequencies , observing without judgment and supporting self just as you would a close loved one going through a significant life transition, the ascending self is undergoing drastic transformation.

Past Trauma may arise in the next coming days this is experienced by the mind, physical body, and subconscious, not by the soul or consciousness itself. The mind and body are finite , limited while the soul and consciousness are infinite , unlimited. It is important for us to recognise that the self is not limited to the mind or body. Self as a whole has the full capacity to heal and rise above any and all trauma experienced from this life and all life expressions .

All ascending are still clearing older realities from their auric fields . Strange memories are resurfacing as the timelines and past self emotions attached continue to detach and dissolve. The intensity within the collective during this full moon is rapidly increasing, leading to profound surges in emotional sensitivity for many ascending individuals.

This full moon will highlight what is out of alignment in the heart centre, it is a time of truth discovery in self’s current situations , planetary energies are aligning to prepare for profound global change , during this full Moon, collective duality is at play and will be amplified , however the focus for the ascending is expanding their light consciousness and activating transformation into unity consciousness and new beginnings on ascending Earth.

The heart and third eye chakra energy bodies are merging, unlocking cosmic communication abilities. There is a heightened shift towards heart-centered living in new earth , a much higher state of vibrational existence.

Love is now becoming the new normal for the ascending . There may be those that feel disoriented at this time transforming into a much higher state of conscious being. Allowing self to rest, practicing patience , self compassion , self forgiveness , self love .

Keeping dark thoughts at bay in this full moon, recognising self to be the master and deliberate creator here in new earth creation as conscious self recreation takes place , allowing for the true self emergence as the metamorphosis cycle occurs , recognising that this time on earth is truly sacred and one of miracles , strengthening internal beliefs as many will be tested during this full moon and duality gateway activation ,

Divine Love is true salvation on this dualistic planet and the ascending sovereign are here to fully reclaim their sovereign and divine birthright .

The All Seeing third Eye is activating and awakening, granting the self access to many hidden truths and higher realm wisdom. Expanding Into this alchemical process of transformation towards a lighter, multi-dimensional existence. Time on ascending planet is becoming fluid, and a new way of life is centred deeply in love , compassion and unity consciousness.

This intense planetary energy provides strength and courage to release what no longer serves and brings in heightened awareness to the unlimited potential and possibilities through transformation. Anything out of alignment in new earth is no longer supported and may possibly collapse during this intense gateway.

Solar Plexus upgrades and Kundalini activations are occurring in many, leading to temporary fatigue and disorientation due to the intense integration process. These energies help to conquer inner fears, to make vibrationally aligned and conscious choices, to be present, to take inspired action, to remain sovereign , authentic, true to the self , feeling supported and guided on the chosen path.

This full moon activation will rapidly shift many ascending into higher conscious time lines and accelerate their ascension , the ascending are experiencing heightened energy levels at this time as Cosmic Light Codes are pouring into our planet creating a significant collective Solar Plexus activation. This is intensifying in energy and aligning the ascending with soul’s truth.

Peeling off the mask

Perhaps one of the hardest things in the world is discovering the true face hidden behind the mask of someone you hold dear—and being unable to accept it. Knowing everything yet pretending to know nothing.

After immense pain, betrayal, and broken trust, not everyone can scream in anger, cry their eyes out, or forgive generously. Nor does everyone possess the extraordinary strength to seek revenge. Some are left with a vague, intense sense of hurt—silent, unspoken, and deeply personal. A cold, bloodless battle fought within oneself.

In this battle, one must endure countless sleepless nights of unbearable agony. There are moments when one feels unbearable even to themselves, exhausted from trying to convince their own heart. The cruel stabs of shattered trust gnaw at the mind. And when you try to walk away from the relationship, stepping over the shards of broken trust to find peace, they shift the entire blame onto you. Their eyes show no remorse. They treat you as if you are the betrayer.

But they never understand the struggle of walking away from a heart where, at one time, you sought refuge in God’s name. They can’t comprehend the mental agony, the powerless days, the pain of sleepless nights, the fire in your tear-dried eyes, or the silent screams tearing through your chest. They don’t realize how a lively person—once someone who tried to spread joy in everyone’s life—becomes an empty shell, alive yet lifeless. They don’t understand, nor do they want to.

Sometimes, you feel like collapsing into someone’s arms and crying your heart out. You long to share your deepest wounds, to find a bit of solace. You yearn for someone to comfort you with oceans of affection, to caress your head and soothe the blazing fire in your heart with tender love. You wish for your sleepless eyelids to finally find rest in a blissful slumber.

Yet, like a fallen star, we never meet those things again—not the stories, not the love, not the relationships, nor the people. All that remains are sighs and an endless emptiness, scattered like fragrant autumn flowers along the path of life.

Gateway of power 2-11

To The Ascension LightWorker Collective

On the day of February 11, 2025 a significant numerical sequence known as the Gateway of Power will occur. These gateways represent pivotal moments when divine energies align, offering support and higher self connection. Ascendant Masters are providing a pathway to the new conscious realms you have envisioned for Ascending self and the New Earth.

In this Year of Soul Alignment, these gateways serve as openings into new empowered realms, where the frequency of unity consciousness is heightened. It is a time to be receptive and focus on the incredible opportunity to shape a world based on Love . Despite any physical appearances, this empowered frequency is more accessible to the ascending than ever before.

Once you establish the necessary preparation within self, stepping through the Ascendant Masters’ 11 portal becomes exciting and exhilarating. These Gateways of Power serve as clear openings, establishing alignment within your energy systems. We are being offered an empowerment that allows us to experience higher frequencies condensed within a moment of time.

As you sense this alignment within, you undergo a significant transformation, shifting into a new timeline and vibrational alignment with a higher conscious frequency that supports your ascension and creates ripples of conscious awaking into the ascending collective . This aligns with the gifts of nature, peace within hearts, and honouring of the planetary shifts.

Within each of our Star Souls, the spark of the Divine resides. Encountering the Gateways of Power enhances this aspect of the eternal spirit. It is beneficial to focus on what is most authentic, divine self, as it allows a gateway to be clearly marked and imprinted upon the path.

A new world is emerging where decisions come from the unified heart mind, (higher heart ) rather than the old patterns of separation. Time spent with self is essential for feel safe within , and self-evolution on the ascension journey. As you ascend, you will create new healthier habits and meet new vibrationaly aligned others Trusting the organic unfolding of the ascension journey.

As you ascend your heightened and evolved attributes may be mistaken for ego in the lower conscious third dimension, adapting and adjusting to remaining true to your authentic self. Higher dimensions exist in universal balance and truth, while lower realms are only made up of collective lies and illusions. Focusing on self-evolution and merging with the universal continuum of love, light, and truth.

Ascension is not made up of new age information, it can not be found in books, it does not follow trends or bend to others way of ego and thinking. Ascension is Deeply based in Truth, it is universal and connected to all principalities that makes up divine creation. Ascension does not take any short cuts, if the inner work is not completed then it is put on hold for future opportunity potentials and consideration. Accepting that not everyone is consciously ascending. Ascension is within the Souls embodiment , the people in life etc choices made in life etc, will all mirror who the self really is . Ascension is an authentic expression of higher self connection.

A Starseed is a sovereign light being who has been loyal to the light throughout , having reinvented self through countless deaths, rebirths , expanding in their human healed aspects, guided by divine wise counsel, activating the conscious and deliberate creator within. This sacred inner work is what shapes the world we experience . Through individual Ascension we take responsibility for co-creating a brand new conscious world.

Throughout this year energy portals will continue to reveal themselves and activate profound connections to your higher self and source light energy. As you symbolically and literally walk through the 11-2-2025 gateway, you leave behind out dated forms , frame works and patterns that no longer align with the new earth energy stream of unity consciousness.

This is a time on ascending earth to create a model for your new life as a deliberate creator through intentional setting, even if the precise form remains unclear. Your higher vibrations will begin to uplift through higher intentions, inviting the guiding wisdom of the soul and the Masters to lead and guide you.

These next 24-48 hours are highly charged energies. Taking sacred time to set your clear and strong intentions , visualising the Gateway of Power moving through your life. The Ascendant Masters are holding this expansive energy Portal of Light .

Light beings from higher realms are sending explosive amounts of light frequencies into our ascending planet , from the cosmic divine realms of creation , this is to support the ascension and the evolution of earth and humanity .

The number 11 is a gateway into higher levels of conscious awakening and awareness , As you walk through these pillars of energies, you align with the forces of all creation, experiencing a higher level of ascending collective unity in our world.

Anything that does not align with these new frequencies in new earth will naturally drop away and fade out. Old frequencies and energy systems cannot coexist when your soul aligns with its planetary purpose in an empowered and integrated way.

The path beyond this Gateway of Power will be gradual and will not unfold all at once, this is to prevent system overwhelm , unexpected glimpses of new self version will encourage and inspire activation in the higher heart. As we walk through these celestial gateways, we are guided and supported by cosmic beings of light. We are never alone. We stand together , sovereign beings on this planet have created an ascension light team collective. Supporting the ascension path, trusting in the divine plan taking place .

Through this we experience greater trust and faith in self as we take the next steps along our path , moving deeper into unknown territory , this is creating an unfolding future into higher conscious timelines, aligning with higher self , integrating into soul purpose , higher self will urge to express from the authentic aspect within .

All ascending are now uniting with celestial light beings They are experiencing the profound activations through this Gateway of Power, initiated by the numerical vibration and alignment of 11-2, which opens the way to oneness. It offers unity within and connects us with the divine source of all that is.

The deepest gratitude for the saving grace that descends upon us during this precious time , receiving it deep within our being, acknowledging all with Love , higher understanding , deeper wisdom , empathy and compassion .

Timeline Shifting

“Solar Flares and Consciousness”

By Raelene Byrne

A solar flare occurs when magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. Radiation is emitted across virtually

the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves at the long wavelength end, through optical emission to X-rays and gamma rays at the short wavelength end. The pineal gland, which regulates circadian rhythm and melatonin production, is sensitive to magnetic fields. According to Russian scientist A.L. Tchijevsky, 80% of the most significant human events occured during a 5 year period surronding the peak of solar activity.

How Do Solar Flares Affect Us?

A recent study in the New Scientist magazine indicates a direct connection between the Sun’s solar storms and the human biological system. The conduit which steers Earth’s weather through the Magnetic Field on Earth is the same conduit that facilitates the influx of charged particles from the Sun through the magnetic (auric) field around the human body. The increase in the frequency and amplitude of geomagnetic sun storms is causing large-scale planetary changes which include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and windstorms. There is also indication of human disturbance as a result of the solar activity.

Geomagnetic Activity

Influences Human Consciousness

Solar activity is known to influence human consciousness. Solar flares affect the Central Nervous System,

all brain activity (including equilibrium), human behavior patterns, and all of our psycho-physiological (mental/emotional/physical) responses. Symptomatically, solar flares can cause us to feel nervous, anxious, worried, jittery, dizzy, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, nauseous, and queasy. Some people may become unusually forgetful, and others may experience heart palpitations. People may also endure periods of prolonged head pressure and headaches.

Clearing Our Cellular Memories

The solar flares and photonic waves emanating from the sun are changing the fabric of our physical reality

as they exert a powerful effect on our physical cellular level, causing our cellular memories to awaken and clear. Unprocessed emotions from past traumas and experiences are stored in the form of low frequency energy as cellular memories. Photonic waves from the sun consist of higher frequency energy that serves to elevate the lower emotional frequency of our cellular memories.

As these cellular memories are re-calibrated to the higher frequency, we may find ourselves spontaneously releasing the lower emotions of sadness, anger, and grief, without knowing why. These sudden periods of ‘release’ may last up to twenty minutes, and may also include the sensation of the body heating up in the form of a “hot flash”. It may feel like a surge of unexpected feelings has surfaced from out of the blue, and have just as suddenly dissipated.

Awakening Our Soul Purpose

The elements of our Divine Blueprint are interwoven within our cellular memory. The recent infusion of photonic energies is amplifying our cellular memory, causing various elements of our Divine Blueprint to leak into our waking consciousness. As a result, many people are beginning to remember their Soul Purpose, and are suddenly driven to make changes in their lives to realign with a sense of higher purpose.

Instant Manifestation

Another ramification of the influx of photonic energy is that since it represents a higher frequency, it increases the power, speed, and manifestation capacity of our thoughts. We are quite literally able to exercise ‘instant manifestation’; whatever we think, we create instantly. We have never before experienced this heightened level of manifestation potential.

Photonic energy blends with the vibratory frequency our thoughts, so it is vitally important that we place our attention on what we want to create, rather than what we do not want to manifest in our lives. We will manifest rapidly in the direction of our thoughts, and it is up to us to decide where to direct our attention.

For those of us in the process of positive change and transformation, this energy is empowering and advantageous. On the other hand, those who are stuck in the past through victimization and anger will continue to manifest even more negativity, until they are ready to release the old way of ‘being’ and shift to a higher, more positive vibration.

The good news is that we have free will to decide how we choose to use this rich and accessible resource of electromagnetic energy.

Additional Affects of Recent Solar Flares

The increased frequency and intensity of solar flares is helping to break apart old patterns that are no longer needed so that new patterns can emerge. This is a dynamic and inevitable process of change that has caused many people to feel agitated and uncertain in recent months. Solar flares have also wreaked havoc on technological instruments such as computers.

As the increase in solar activity persists, new symptoms are emerging. Dimensions of time and space are beginning to ‘wobble’ erratically. Some people seem to be losing track of time, and/or they are losing words when speaking. For others, the day seems to simply disappear.

A number of people are having difficulty sleeping, tossing and turning in the night, and often experiencing unusual dreams. Others report that when they close their eyes at night, the world around them spins.

Some of us are feeling huge power surges in our bodies; these surges are often followed by a drop in energy level. There are reports of nausea, body aches, pains, and dizziness. Some people are feeling a sense of overwhelming grief, while others are experiencing euphoria. There are reported cases of visual disturbances, inner ear issues, buzzing in ears, throat and thyroid issues, and cold feet.

What To Do If You Are Sensitive to Solar Storm Activity

If you are experiencing any of the aforementioned effects, don’t worry– be happy! We are being offered a unique and powerful opportunity to consciously participate in the rapid advancement in our evolution as energetic beings. Our auric/energy systems are being re-calibrated to resonate at a much higher, finer frequency. The more informed and aware we are of the changes taking place, the more empowered we are to embrace this process as a necessary step towards the betterment of our lives. We are growing in the direction of mental, emotional, and spiritual awakening, with the extraordinary help of the Sun!

On a practical, physical level,

we can mitigate some of the more challenging effects of our energetic evolution by getting extra rest and drinking lots of water. For those who live near the ocean, a walk on the beach (or better yet, a swim!) will help to balance the incoming energies. In the meantime, we can all fasten our seat-belts, and enjoy the ride!

Hold my hand

Will you… hold my hand for a little while?

I don’t need you to save me.

No need for you to fix anything.

No need for you to carry my pain.

But will you simply hold my hand?

I don’t need your words,

Your thoughts,

Nor your shoulders to carry me.

But will you sit here for a while with me?

Whilst my tears stream,

Whilst my heart shatters,

Whilst my mind plays tricks on me,

Will you, with your presence, let me know that I am not alone, while I wander into my inner unknown?

For my darkness is mine to face,

My pain is mine to feel,

And my wounds are mine to heal.

But will you sit with me here, while I courageously show up for it all, my dear?

For I am bright because of my darkness,

Beautiful because of my brokenness,

And strong because of my tender heart.

But will you take my hand lovingly when I sometimes journey into the dark?

I don’t ask for you to take my darkness away,

I don’t expect you to brighten my day,

And I don’t believe you can mend my pain.

But I would surely love it if you could sit for a while and hold my hand, until I find my way out of my shadowland!

So, will you… hold my hand until I return again?

Do not judge pain you do not feel

In life, it is easy to observe from the

outside and believe we understand

what others are going through.

But in reality, every pain is unique,

every burden shaped by the experiences,

wounds, and emotions specific to the one carrying it.

Judging creates a wall between you and others. We sometimes forget that behind the silence, behind a forced smile, lies a story..!

A story we do not fully know,

a pain we have never truly felt…😐

What if, instead of judging, we chose empathy?

What if we extended a helping hand,

a gentle gaze, an unconditional ear?

Because, in the end, it is not our role to fully understand, but to offer a space where others feel seen, heard, and accepted in their uniqueness.

Compassion begins with respect for another’s path, even if that path seems unfamiliar or incomprehensible to us.

Let us be, then, that breath of love that accompanies rather than the gaze that condemns.🙂

Remember: what you do not feel, you cannot judge. But you can choose to honor it with humility and humanity. ! 💕✨🙏

Intense Blast

A significant energy wave impacted us a few hours ago, which may stimulate detoxification processes in the body. In some cases, this could lead to purging, which can manifest in various physiological responses. To support the body’s natural detoxification mechanisms, it is advisable to increase water intake throughout the day, as proper hydration facilitates the elimination of metabolic waste and supports overall cellular function. ~ Alexander Quinn – Starseed ❤️

Divine Timing

As we continue navigating this transitional year that is challenging us to master the areas of our lives we have not unified yet, we may feel overwhelmed by the intensity of the New Earth’s energies, our personal trajectory, physical ascension, and above all, the confusion that often arises from transiting the unknown, for this year is like a threshold that takes us into our new destination.

During this time of great shift for many of us, we have today a transformative transit, Neptune conjunct the North Node, helping us to realign to our soul’s desires, to our dreams, and to our authentic destiny, clearing timelines, creating new paths and discerning which one is for us to transit next. As you know, the north node represents what we are creating, where we are heading, and what is already being woven within our souls.

Many of you will feel extremely emotional at this time. Let tears of joy, release, or remembrance come. Let Love in. Let yourself be carried by the universal mother’s strength, wisdom, and power. Let yourself BEcome who you are, for it is what is truly happening. You are losing more egoic layers, and that often feels sad, as the ego fights this process and resists it. Let it all go and embrace your real Self.

If you let go, these two Forces together will help you see the Truth of where you are, what you need to release, and what you need to embrace, clearing the path before you. It is a passage of profound insights in which many of you are going to experience a transformative reconnection/activation like never before.

Many of you are already reconnecting your thalamus, and brain-heart complex, building your tenth dimensional body, and merging polarities by clearing and reconnecting your shoulder portals. Prepare yourselves to receive a massive download during this passage.

At the beginning, it may feel confusing, for the human mind and body are yet decoding all the information. Be patience. Your task is to continue supporting the body, especially the spine, nervous system, sphenoid bone, thalamus complex, fascia, and heart to receive the transmissions, for these are the main parts of our anatomical body that receive, integrate, and decode.

This passage invites us to reconnect to our soul, integrating our divine purpose, and creating the conditions for us to fulfill our role on earth. It urges us to search for self-growth, overcoming the natural challenges that arise when we are on a path of constant integration and evolution, by having faith and hope, as Neptune in Pisces reminds us, as faith is the divine feeling, the reminder, that we shall trust, even if we are not yet able to see, that where we are going is where we need to be next.

This is a time of great initiation and soul-purpose integration for many of you who are feeling as if you were in a void, shifting missions, expanding into them, or simply BEing to be able to discern the next steps for your personal journey. The time we spend resting, rejuvenating, and being is the most important one to allow the body and human mind to decode what we are receiving from our Unified Self. This is never wasted time. On the contrary, these are precisely the times when we are doing more, as we are decoding our soul’s guidance for this new cycle.

This passage helps us see what is authentic and what is another form of manipulation that drains our life force. Often, receiving the Truth about a person or situation feels overwhelming and sad, due to our human expectations. However, when we ask for the Truth, it is always given, and if we are willing to listen, maybe it is not what we were expecting, but it is what we need. Be compassionate with yourself. Neptune in Pisces is also a great force that helps us remember our compassionate nature.

Remain in our Higher Heart in confusion, until you receive higher clarity. Remain neutral, and do not fall into desperation or impulsiveness, for the ego wants to fix what only God can. Remember the importance of simplicity, neutralization, and soul reconnection in the moments you feel desperate.

Trust, believe and you shall see at Divine Timing what is meant to be, as Guides literally share for All.

This transit invites us to go deeper into the spiritual world, escaping from the mundane, to retrieve guidance, direction, and a higher connection to who we are, as often when we are immersed in a frequency shift, we may lose sight of who we are. It is then when we need to move within to remember, as all after all, a constant journey of soul remembrance.

To avoid escapism and impulsiveness during this passage, remain grounded, and connected to your soul and earth. Work on fortifying your soul connection to receive clarity and above all, remember that this too shall pass. Retrieve joy, focus on what IS at the moment, live from the moment, and build from it what is yet to come.

May you surrender to what shall be released, shifted, and embraced Beloveds.

Within Infinite Love,

Natalia Alba

AI & Humans

BREAKING: Scientists say whatever safeties we create may be useless in preventing harmful AI from taking over the world.

In fact, there is no current evidence that AI can be controlled safely, according to an extensive review, and without proof that AI can be controlled, it should not be developed, AI safety expert Dr Roman V. Yampolskiy warns.

When connected to the internet, AI may have access to all of humanity’s data, allowing it to replace all existing programs and take control of all online machines worldwide.

And in a recent study, researchers developed a theoretical containment algorithm, which ensures that a super-intelligent AI won’t harm people under any circumstances. According to the study, an algorithm that would command AI not to destroy the world could destroy its own operation if it detects a potential threat.

However, it remains unclear whether the algorithm has successfully prevented a catastrophic event or is still analyzing the threat, making it difficult to know for certain if the machine has successfully prevented a catastrophe.

The study shows that traditional ideas for controlling super-intelligent AI have limitations, and new strategies are necessary, starting with disconnecting AI from the internet.
