podcast that will set your soulon fire through candid and
inspiring conversations.
Leading experts, celebrities,healers, and I share our
journeys of how we've overcomechallenges to living an
empowered life from within.
I'm your host, Jennifer Pilates.
Welcome to another episode ofEmpowered Within.

(01:44):
Hi There and welcome back toanother episode of Empowered
Within, I'm Jennifer Pilates andit's here within this podcast
community where we anchor intothe truth beneath all of the
noise.
We reconnect with what mattersand we rise from the inside out.
Empowered within.
Before we begin our new episodetoday, I'd like to take a moment

(02:07):
to acknowledge a few incrediblesouls whose presence and
generosity truly means so muchto me First, Diana Franklin.
Thank you.
Your thoughtful support carriesa frequency and that frequency
is felt and honored here withinour community.
Next, Patsy Hudson.
Your kindness and generosityripples far beyond this podcast.

(02:31):
Thank you for being part of thisever evolving community and for
all of your generosity and last,but not least, to my group
seven, family and community onTikTok.
Your curiosity, your courage,your support, your willingness
to lean into the unseeing andinto the intuitive.
I see you.
I appreciate you and I'mgrateful that we are walking

(02:54):
this incredible journeytogether.
Now, let's all take a breath.
Because this week the energyshifts in a way that only
happens once in a truly greatwhile.
We're entering a new moon inSagittarius and the Winter
Solstice Gateway, a rare doubleshadow portal that is reshaping

(03:17):
how our bodies feel, how yourenergy functions, and what your
intuition refuses to ignore.
This is an ancient reset.
Older than our modern calendar,older than culture.
It's a reset that's aligned withthe earth's deepest rhythms and
the galaxy's oldestintelligence.

(03:39):
Let's step into this amazingepisode and energies together.
Have you ever thought about whatyour body knows before your mind
catches up?
If you've ever felt heavy ortired, or deeply pulled inward,
especially these past few days,you're not imagining it.

(04:03):
Your system, your body isparticipating in a profound
global frequency shift.
Right now.
Your body knows something.
Your conscious mind is onlybeginning to understand you're
entering the deepest point of anannual cycle.
The cosmic exhale, the sacredstill point in these days that

(04:27):
have been leading up to thewinter solstice.
Everything in nature begins toslow down.
The earth becomes quiet.
The sun appears to almost standstill, and your spirit.
Well, it begins, its descentinto the cave of truth.
This isn't heaviness that we'refeeling.
It's not dense energy and itcertainly is not burnout.

(04:51):
What it is is your energeticbeing, your body and energy
aligning.
With that of the cosmos, yourbiology is matching the Earth's
natural hibernation rhythm.
Your nervous system is trying toshut down the noise so that you
can repair, integrate, andreceive the clarity you've been

(05:14):
asking for this entire year.
So let me tell you, this is notfatigue to push through.
This is a fatigue of your soulthat is trying to save you.
It's the pause required before amassive energetic upgrade.

(05:40):
Let's talk about the oldest newyear on Earth.
Historically, the wintersolstice was considered the true
New Year, not January not theGregorian calendar, but this
day, the longest night of theyear, for six months, the sun
has been growing weaker.
On the solstice.

(06:02):
It stops.
It holds its breath.
And is reborn to ancientcivilizations.
The solstice wasn't symbolic.
It was survival.
It was the moment the sun wonits battle against the dark.
That's why so many culturescalled it the birth of the sun,
the start of the new cycle, theday the light returns.

(06:26):
And this year we experienced therebirth under a new moon, making
the sky darker than dark.
This double shadow moment stripsaway every distraction, every
illusion, every external lightsource, so that one thing
becomes impossible to avoid yourown inner truth.

(06:54):
This is a time when your soulsinner compass awakens.
The New Moon sits at 28 degreesof Sagittarius right beside the
believed location of theGalactic Center, the energetic
heart of the Milky Way.
When the Galactic Center isactivated, something profound

(07:14):
happens.
Your internal compass.
Reboots you remember what you'rehere to do.
You remember what matters.
You remember who you are beneaththe conditioning, beneath the
fear, beneath the pressure to beeverything for everyone You see.
Sagittarius energy asks you tozoom out.

(07:38):
Tell yourself the truth and aimyour arrow toward the life you
actually want, not the life thatyou have settled for day in and
day out, not the life thatyou've been leading because that
is what has been expected ofyou.

(07:58):
This is about the life youactually desire and feel within
your heart.
You feel it within every cell ofyour body.
This is expansion, this isdirection.
This is.
Course correction at the soullevel, at the deepest level, and

(08:20):
Jupiter Ruler of Sagittarius isforming a trine with Saturn,
giving structure, encouragement,and real support for the changes
that your soul has been beggingyou to make.
So when we take all of that andwe combine it with Mars exalted
in Capricorn, and suddenly thefoggy path becomes clear, you

(08:45):
now know what to do next.
You know where your energy wantsto go.
You know what dreams are stillalive within you, and you know
that now, now is the time tolive those dreams.

(09:07):
So many of you ask why we feelthis pool to rest at this time,
and why it's so important tohonor it.
It.
You see right now your system,it's not malfunctioning.
It really is recalibrating.
When both the moon and the sundisappear into shadow, your
entire body instinctively turnsinward.

(09:29):
And by the way, this is anoptional, this is cosmic
biology.
Your cells are integratingeverything you endured this past
year.
And it has been a year of years,let's be honest.
The growth, the heartbreak, theinitiations, the breakthroughs,

(09:51):
the losses, the lessons, andyes, the blessings.
If you resist resting right now,you are fighting the
gravitational pool of theuniverse.
When you allow yourself tosurrender to it, something
extraordinary happens.
Your energy reorganizes itself,your clarity begins to return.

(10:17):
Your inner fire is rekindled.
Your resilience begins torebuild itself.
Your intuition becomesunmistakable, unavoidable, and
sometimes even un believable.
And this is, this is theinvisible work that's going on.

(10:40):
Think subconscious, thinkcellular level.
This is the real work, trulydeep within your soul.
Aligning body, mind, and spirit.
This is what prepares you forthe next cycle of your life, and
this is not something that canbe rushed.
It is something to be honored.

(11:06):
There's a question that this newmoon wants you to ask yourself.
You see Sagittarius rules,belief direction.
Truth, desire.
So here is your journal prompt,your key to opening a brand new
timeline, if you will.

(11:27):
Now, this can be an actualjournal prompt that you're
writing down.
It can be something that youmirror standing in front of the
mirror and mirroring yourselfwith that.
This question, it can besomething on your iPhone that
you're taking notes, whateverresonates with you, in this
moment in time.
That's how I want you to workwith this.
So here it is.
Here's your journal prompt.
If I wasn't afraid of failing orsucceeding.

(11:51):
If I knew I could not get itwrong, what would I choose?
Okay, I'm gonna say it again.
This is deep.
This is big, and this is themoments of truth, the truth with
yourself and with your soul.
If I wasn't afraid of failing orsucceeding, if I knew I could
not get it wrong, what would Ichoose?

(12:16):
Not what's practical, not what'spredictable, not what keeps the
peace, but what aligns with yourtruth.
Ask this question and feel thearrow of your life literally
shift in real time.
This is how you're going to workwith the Sagittarius energies

(12:38):
right now.
Even if you don't know the wholepath.
And Lord knows no one expectsyou to, especially right now.
You will know the direction.
God, your guides, your angels.
They will help bring the lightand place the light on your next

(13:00):
right best step.
All you have to do are suggestedto do.
You don't have to do it, but wesuggest.
I suggest this journal prompt.
This is what came through thechanneling of this episode today
for us all.
To really ask if I wasn't afraidof failing or succeeding, if I

(13:22):
knew I couldn't get it wrong,what would I choose?
Simply take a moment to answerthat with yourself.
Be real, be honest, allow yourheart to be open.
Release your mind, surrendereverything else.

(13:43):
Be honest.
Be truthful with yourself, notworrying about the how, the,
when, the, oh, I don't, Nope,nope, nope.
What would you choose and havefaith and lean into knowing
that, that direction it will beshown to you.

(14:07):
One of the number one questionsthat I receive on a daily basis
in my intuitive medium readingsis about relationships, and this
new moon activates Juno andVenus.
This activation is amplifyingrelationship themes, so all of

(14:27):
you that are asking.
All the time, and it is a bigone.
Whether it's a romanticrelationship, a family
relationship, a businessrelationship, relationships are
important.
We are here on this earth tocohabitate together to make
communities, to help one anotherand be there for one another.
So this is even, and gosh, sucha, another powerful activation

(14:50):
with this new moon.
You see, again, it's not justabout romantic love.
This is about soul contracts.
It's about loyalty, truth, it,independence within connection.
The courage to say what's real.
Release what no longer isserving, what is expired, what
no longer works and open spacefor relationships that are

(15:14):
aligned with your expansion andyour evolution of whom you are
becoming.
Under this energy conversationsreally begin to soften old
dynamics, unravel.
They're outdated.
They no longer align andsoulmate lessons rise to the

(15:36):
surface.
If something surfaces in yourrelationships this week, don't
panic, observe it.
Juno brings clarity.
It's not chaos.
It's bringing clarity for you tounderstand what's really going
on at the root of theserelationships.

(15:58):
Here with this activation andthese energies, the questions
around relationships become,where do you personally, where
do you personally need moretruth?
Where do you need more freedom?
Where do you need more integrityfrom yourself or others?

(16:18):
This is the moment to setintentions for the relationships
that you're wanting to cultivatein this new cycle.
One of the bigger questions I'vebeen receiving is, why is this
New Moon such a big deal?
One, this is the last New Moonof 2025.

(16:40):
I mean, can, can we just talkabout how.
Christmas is just a few daysaway.
I don't even know how ithappened, which means that I
think next week is New Year's,right?
Holy mackerel.
You see, while we're stilltechnically closing out the
lunar year of 2025, this newmoon becomes the emotional and

(17:02):
energetic doorway into thefrequencies of 2026.
This is not the time to finalizeresolutions.
It is however, the time to feelinto what you want to create
more of.
Is it expansion?
Is it learning?

(17:22):
Is it adventure?
Is it freedom?
Is it spiritual growth?
Is it at your creativeexpression?
Is it more authentic?
Connections?
Ask yourself where your lifefeels kind of small, a little
stagnant.
Do you feel like your wings area little clipped?

(17:43):
And those are the areas that itis now time to invite expansion
into.
You see this energy, it's notabout certainty, it's about
possibilities.
It's about remembering that youare allowed to pivot, to reset,

(18:05):
to redirect, or completelyreinvent.
The galaxy is literally wideopen and my friend, so are you.
As we move through this powerfulportal of shadow and stillness,

(18:29):
I'd like you to give yourselfpermission, permission to rest,
to listen, and most importantly,to return to yourself, to return
to what it feels to be alignedwithin yourself.
Right now you are aligning.

(18:51):
You are recalibratingenergetically.
You are preparing for somethingbigger than you realize.
