Energy Forecast for January 2023 | Be Honest with Yourself
The last 3 years, since 2020, the Universal Energy has shaken up everything from our daily routines to our perspectives on life and the values we embody. The year of 2023 is the year where you stop focusing on the external shifts/changes and you proactively choose to turn inwards. A year of self-reflection, spiritual perspectives, and trying to understand your meaning and purpose in life.
As a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Guide my work is focused on supporting my clients and community members to better understand Universal Energy as well as their own individual energy and emotions. My intuitive abilities are geared towards guiding you in the ending of old cycles and beginning of new cycles in your life.
These monthly energy forecasts are meant to give you an insight into how your energy may be influenced by the Universal Energy and how you can best support yourself to flow with ease and grace through your daily life.
We are coming together to start 2023 off by better understanding the energy forecast for January. Before I dive into the messages and guidance for each week it’s important for you to see January’s theme at a glance.
January is the month where your Inner Spirit is asking you to finally be honest with yourself. What do you truly desire to feel on a daily basis? What is the thing you’ve been denying yourself of, trying to say it’s not important? January wants you to listen. It’s not about listening to your thoughts and believing every thought to be 100% true. It’s about holding space for yourself by slowing down and listening to your needs, and choosing to put yourself first for a change.
I work mainly with empaths, people pleasers and sensitive souls. While I am channeling the messages for the collective as a whole, these messages from the Universe will resonate more closely with the empath, people pleaser and sensitive beings.
The energy for January is reminding you that you cannot keep doing everything the same way and expecting different results. Allow yourself to branch out and try something differently.
Monday January 2nd to Sunday January 8th
Full Moon Fri Jan 6th
The Full Moon is a time where energies come to a climax. This can mean different things depending on where you are at in your journey, and who surrounds you in your environment. This Full Moon be wary of certain individuals in your life who are prone to being dramatic, judgmental and gossiping (this might even include you if you have these habits).
Leading up to Friday January 6th the Full Moon will bring a climatic energy that can feel overwhelming and exhausting. You will see problems occur, most likely in someone else’s life that you are close to. This heavy, low vibrational energy of complaining, drama and victimizing can drag you into the quicksand of feeling sorry for yourself or those around you. Be cautious around this energy.
As an empath when you get sucked into someone else’s problems you end up lowering your own energetic vibration which makes it difficult for you to carry compassion. If you yourself are not uplifted then it becomes hard for you to help uplift others.
Throughout this week it’s imperative that you guard and protect your energy, for you will be triggered by your environment (learn more about this in my Free Training - gain the link by signing up here).
In this climax of energy from the Full Moon you will see yourself, your emotions and your life from a whole new perspective. Sometimes in the challenges and difficulties we can more easily see where we need to create a positive and supportive shift in our lives. There is a way for you to not become dragged down into the low vibration, and you will see the bigger perspective by the end of this week.

Back to the Monthly Energy Forecast for JANUARY 2023
Monday January 9th to Sunday January 15th
Third Quarter Moon Sun Jan 15th
After the triggering energy from the previous week your energy is asking you to slow down this week. You cannot always be in a state of go-go-go, and from the hustle of the holiday season and the excitement of a new year, you are feeling the effects on your body this week.
The Universal Energy is asking you to take time out of action-oriented tasks this week and instead grab your journal and reflect. In order to support yourself in a positive and uplifting way you need to understand what causes you to feel low or drained. As the Moon Cycle shifts through the phases and the Moon becomes smaller in size, you will notice your emotional being requiring more peace and relaxation.
The main energetic theme of January, being honest with yourself, will show up for you this week. Relaxation is not about turning the TV on and getting lost in your favourite Netflix shows. The Universal Energy is pointing towards relaxation of the Spirit. When your Inner Spirit feels calm, centered and connected you are able to refuel and restore yourself to prepare for the next cycle of action.
Take a few deep breaths, create a calm environment for yourself and reflect on some of these journal prompts this week:
When you slow down and listen, what is your Spirit asking you to focus on?
What have you been prioritizing that is no longer helpful for the direction you want to go in?
How are you being called to shift? Whether it’s a shift of action, perspective, values or habits.
Monday January 16th to Sunday January 22nd
New Moon Sat Jan 21st
You are two weeks into the new calendar year, this is a time where people start to fall off track with their intentions and begin to fall back into old unsupportive patterns of autopilot. You know you don’t want to let this happen, so this week you are choosing to move slowly.
The Universal Energy leading up to the New Moon phase on Saturday, January 21st, is asking you to be patient with yourself. The feeling of needing to rush and let pressure drive you into quick action is false and comes from the ego of believing there is never enough time. When you rush forwards you lose the guidance of your Spirit and you identify with your ego self, which is the false self.
You desire a life of purpose, a life of peace, a life filled with passion, and a life where you fully believe the Universe is guiding you each step of the way. Quick forward movement is not the path of your desires. Slow, intentional and aligned action comes from your Spirit and allows the guidance of the Universe to lead the way.
This week you are being reminded to practice your spiritual connection with the Universe. Call in your Angels, Ancestors and Spirit Guides to be beside you and provide clarity wherever you feel uncertain or stuck. Comfort and nurture yourself with slow intentional breaths when you feel overwhelmed or frustrated. In order to learn how to connect with your Spirit Guides check out the Spirit of Air group program.
As you prepare to connect with the New Moon energy and the start of a new Moon Cycle, you need to allow yourself to rest and focus on the energy within you that leads with purpose, not pressure. This is a great week to meditate daily, focus on your breathing, and feel the energy of your Divine Team surround you with comforting energy.
Monday January 23rd to Sunday January 29th
First Quarter Moon Sat Jan 28th
Now is the week to stand tall and take inspired action towards your desires. You will feel a fresh cycle of energy uplift you and an eagerness guiding you forwards. The tricky part of this inspired and motivated energy is you can easily fill your time with tasks that are not beneficial. This is not a week to simply cross things off your to-do list. This is a week to use your energy with intention and soul purpose.
Make sure you know what your desires are and what small aligned action steps you can start taking right now to lead you forwards on the path. Not sure what to take action on? Ask the Universe to provide a sign or message for you to clearly see where you are being called to move forward.
This week obstacles may appear on your path, don’t let them sway you off course. Stand strong in your desires and know that you are capable of receiving anything that is in your heart and soul. Sometimes an obstacle is on your path to get you to adjust your course of action, sometimes an obstacle appears for you to prove to yourself that you are worthy of your desires. How do you know what type of obstacle it is? You call on your Divine Team and listen to the voice of your soul to better understand how you want to move forward.
Action is good, but intentional and aligned action is even better! Your energy is what determines whether the action is coming from an aligned purpose versus a pressured forcefulness. This week you are being asked to take action, and it’s important for you to pay attention to the energy you embody while you take action.
This is only the beginning of a year focused on spiritual connection, understanding your soul truths, and standing strong in your authentic self. One day at a time is all you can ask of yourself.
Message from Spirit for the Month
There is one key message from the Universe that is desiring to come through as a piece of guidance for your month. As I sit and listen to my Spirit Guides I hear them loud and clear as they say to me, “the message that resonates the most is the energy you need”. Pay attention to what resonates with you and that can be the energy that leads you forwards.
This month I am using Steven Farmer’s Power Animal Oracle Cards to provide a message from Spirit for you as you flow through the month of January.
The question being asked is, “what are you being reminded to carry, embody and practice throughout this month?”
ELEPHANT - RESOLVE
“You will overcome any obstacles.”
Every single time an obstacle appears on your path you believe it’s a sign that you aren’t worthy of your desires. Obstacles aren’t meant to limit you. Obstacles are meant to help you grow, learn new lessons, build courage, strength and resilience. Most important, obstacles allow you to feel satisfied and successful when you continue to shift forwards and overcome them.
This month you will be able to prove to yourself how strong you are when you lead with purpose because your purpose is what encourages you to overcome any and all obstacles. It’s the feeling of pressure that makes you feel not good enough. It’s the feeling of purpose that allows you to lead with heart and soul!
DOLPHIN - PLAYFULNESS
“Take time to play.”
Life is not meant to be serious all of the time. Your purpose leads you forwards when you are able to have fun and enjoy the journey. A life filled with peace, joy, love, and connection is an enjoyable experience. If you fill your days with seriousness, you lower your energetic vibration which blocks the joy and peace from finding you.
Laugh, enjoy the moment, go on an adventure, allow yourself to experience a moment of feeling completely free. This energy is what encourages you to create a life you love. This energy is what allows you to live a life you love right now.
The future will not carry peace, joy and all that you desire if you aren’t willing to experience these emotions and energy right now! Take time to play this month, while you are self-reflecting, connecting with the Universe, and taking action on your desires.
It’s your pursuit of joy that encourages you to overcome those obstacles.
I hope January proves to be an empowering month for you as you begin to see yourself from a new supportive perspective.
It’s easy to fall off track on this journey and to forget to stay accountable in your growth and your pursuit for spiritual connection. Inside of the Meditation Membership you will receive ongoing support, guidance and accountability each step of the way.
