The Astrological Roadmap to Our Ascension Journey! With Molly McCord

Molly McCord 0:00

Well, 2026 27, 28 and 29 I'm just going to bring all those years in here. There's going to be some incredible advancements that ask us to look at what does humanity now do on this planet, and advancing us to these whole new realms that we thought only existed in sci fi movies, or we thought were only like these crazy, weird experiments. We're going to be surrounded by whole new ways of living, and this is because we have Uranus in Gemini. It's going to be fast moving communications developments and increases in information like we've never seen before, there's also going to be more people readily available and readily accepting what we can do. I mean, just just thinking about astral travel and remote viewing and other psychic abilities and gifts that have actually been studied and practiced. I mean, the CIA has released documentation on what they studied around these practices. I believe we're going to have more connection with our extraterrestrial species that are out there and on the planet. I think we're going to have more cosmic influences that we're aware of.

Speaker 1 1:19

Molly McCord, a warm welcome to the show.

Molly McCord 1:27

Thank you, Jannecke, I'm delighted to be here, and I'm delighted to have our conversation today.

Speaker 1 1:33

I'm delighted as well. I've been watching a few videos with you, and I hear so many good words about you, and you're doing amazing work with your intuitive astrology, and you've been working with astrology and studying it for more than 30 years, and have written 10 best selling books. I mean, that is quite amazing. And you're also helping people discover and activate their innate purpose that I really resonate with, because I think that's so important. I believe we all have a purpose. And I'm also curious to hear your perspectives on the shift of consciousness today. I know you have a lot to say about it, and also how we could prepare for it in a way, in the best possible way, not to go into fear, but actually go in to it with empowerment and alignment as well. However, I'm curious how you got into this and how astrology has helped you in your life.

Molly McCord 2:33

Well, astrology was one of those things that showed up in my early teens, and it was just a section of the library, I found that I found so fascinating, so interesting. And then when I was 16, my dad gave me my first astrology reading as a sweet 16 gift. He's always encouraged me to study astrology, so I always had support for going into this knowledge. I also had some one on one tutoring with various mentors through the years. I took lots of programs, lots of courses, and then, of course, did my own client sessions for a significant period of time. And so astrology is one of these areas where we we develop knowledge as we go because you have to be practicing it with people. It can't just be books we read or things we discuss. You have to put it into applicable understanding for people. And so I found that with astrology, people felt so validated, understood and seen. And when I was doing these various sessions with people, the one on one sessions, it was always awesome to hear and feel their energy expand when they felt seen. So astrology is just a great tool for people to understand more of who they are and who they came here to be in this lifetime.

Speaker 1 3:53

And I noticed that it said that you have studied tropical astrology. Is that correct? Yeah. So, so what is that?

Molly McCord 4:03

So Tropical Western Astrology is a different system than Vedic Astrology that was that originated basically in India. So there are two different tracking systems of the planetary energies, and I find both of them to be accurate. I think they are on different timelines. And I've what I've observed is that both can help us in understanding what we're moving through and what's going on in our lives. So the Vedic Astrology system is separate from Western tropical, but they can help you understand the bigger cycles that you're moving through,

Speaker 1 4:37

all right, so I didn't know that just Western astrology. It was Tropical Western astrology, I see. So could you share a little bit about how it has changed your life, like the benefit of really for you in your life, what difference has it made?

Molly McCord 4:57

I feel like it's really steered me into the best possible direction for my life, where, first of all, I never thought I would be a professional astrologer. That never occurred to me when I was in college, when I was working, when I was doing corporate jobs. So I was trusting the calling of this energy and what I was moving into, and astrology has always shown me the timing of energies and the themes of the cycles that it's like. It quietly validated what I was feeling. It also was very encouraging and tapped me into more wisdom. I mean, the cosmos has so much wisdom for us, and astrology is the language that breaks it down and allows us to understand more specifics of what we're moving through. So I feel that what we're understanding now is how astrology benefits us, and it's not just simple sun sign astrology, it's much more elaborate than that. It's much more personal as well, and that's why astrology, for me, has been everything.

Speaker 1 6:03

And you say, or you are also an intuitive astrologer, and it seems like that is important, because one thing is to just, you know, see where the the planets are, but another thing is to actually interpret it. Is that something you have cultivated, or is that something that you've always had as a skill.

Molly McCord 6:24

I took me a little bit to apply it to astrology, because when I was first reading charts, it's very the energy is very mental, like you're you're going through the pieces of what mercury and Virgo means, of what the sun and Capricorn means, like you're putting together the meanings. And then it took me a little bit to trust what I was feeling around the energies or around what wasn't quite obvious right away. So for example, it was in various sessions where I would have all the notes written out, what to discuss, what to say, you know, what was important for a client to know. And then I would open up into what I was feeling, and it would become a bigger message, more personal, more specific. I would receive visuals or some very clear, quick, channeled understandings. I would tap into the higher realms of energy to feel what they needed to hear, how I could be of support to them in a way that maybe they really needed. So I had to move into trusting that, which is true for all of us, working with our intuition. We're trusting it. We're trusting what we don't see or what isn't validated yet. And so the way that I felt it open up was was just this expansive message that came through for many clients, and so that's how I moved into doing more intuitive astrology that opened people up and also allowed me to give them more that I, you know, always help, always hoped they would resonate with and feel a connection with. So it was definitely a risk at first, but it was also a beautiful way to bring in more, not just the mental body, but to bring in more of the higher energies and also access our multi dimensionality. I feel like that's one of the ways that astrology really helps us advance at this time. So, yeah, it has multiple layers to it, but it just it started to come really easily after a while.

Speaker 1 8:22

Yeah, and speaking about the multi dimensionality, you also channel your own galactic team, I get curious about that. How did that happen? And who is your galactic galactic team?

Molly McCord 8:37

It's fat. It's so fascinating because it has evolved over the years. I would say it first started around 2009 when I was in a time that was very quiet in my life. I was spending time with animals, spending time in someone's like house sitting. I was in this place of really opening up to what was next. And I started doing automatic writing, and I would ask a question and then receive the answer, and that allowed me to trust what I was hearing as well as what I was meant to understand. And automatic writing is so beautiful because we ground it down, and then we can look back later and be like, Oh yeah, that's what came through, or that's what I was meant to understand. The energy. Then started to move into more more teams. There were various guides I connected with visually, especially in the dream state, and then I would wake up and feel their presence and feel their energy there. I always asked for the messages and information. So that's important for people to know is to request it, to say that you're willing to receive it, that you're open to it, because our free will and our sovereign energy is always respected. So you have to request it. And as I requested it, more, I had these elevations in energies that I could feel and understand I've always felt of. Deep connection to the Pleiadian constellation. I always felt that energy really clearly throughout my whole life, even before I realized what that was. And then I started feeling more specific guidance from different planetary systems. And I remember the first time that I even felt the energy from another another guide. The message was, well, we're from Lyra, and I didn't know what that was. I had to google some things. I'm like, I don't know that one. So I feel like I've been educated as I go. And that's always been really fun and fascinating is to listen to what is coming through. And so now the energies that I connect with are usually a council of galactic energies that present themselves as the energy of a commander. It's often a strong, masculine presence that does change, at times, into the feeling of a council of like various beings who are on a council. So the energy shift and that keeps it interesting. I also feel that there's a deep honoring of our human journey, and that there isn't a need to interfere or to impose, you know, any of their energies when it's not right. So this also is important, because we have to keep coming back to our ability to determine how much and how much we want to connect, how often, how frequently they don't use the time, space continuum that we use. So, you know, to them, it's like, it's always open, it's always in the now and then some days I'm like, I'm too busy, I'm not available. So I feel like it's more of this. It's like a very harmonious relationship, where you have to let them know what you're available for, and then when you're you know, come back later, try me tomorrow. I'm not available right now. So that's part of what my energy exchange has been with my galactic team.

Speaker 1 11:54

I find that interesting because I've been speaking with other astrologers as well who have started connecting with what I usually call as extraterrestrials or aliens, or, yeah, Star seeds or galactic and I'm thinking, maybe that's not a coincidence, because maybe you, as an astrologer need sort of an a bigger Overview from the cosmic perspective, also that knowledge coming from them on astrology and the times we find ourselves in. So do you feel that they are helping you understand even more of astrology and the times where find our find ourselves in?

Molly McCord 12:36

Absolutely, astrology is one of these areas that's going to continue to evolve as we evolve, and it's an amazing navigational tool for understanding archetypes, themes, timing cycles, so much. But as we expand our knowledge, we're going to start to learn more about it and see see these higher perspectives. So yes, we are definitely moving into new territory in astrology, just as a practice, it's the art and science, if you will, of astrology, but we're also now integrating it with more of these energy streams that also hold deep wisdom. And I think that's where astrology is going. It's expanding beyond just reading the books or trying to logically work with the information. It's moving us into other energy territory that we're ready for.

Speaker 1 13:27

Okay, interesting. Okay, so let's talk astrology. And I'm curious about this procession of the equinox and the the 26,000 cycle. And I feel like a grasp, grasp it a little bit. But I would love to hear your perspective on that, if you also believe that we're in this big cycle and that we're starting to go upwards at the end, sort of, maybe not at the end of the cycle, but we're starting sort of to go towards a golden age. So and then I get curious about my next question after that is, what happens after the 26,000 years? Do we start all over again?

Molly McCord 14:11

Well, we never start over. We just keep going like the it's a spiral. You know, that's how the planets move, and that's how we cycle through the galaxy, especially, we spiral towards the galactic center. So we're always spiraling, and that's how I see the journey. Is that these 26,000 year markers are also guesstimates, because, again, we're putting it into our earth bound, you know, system of of how we conceptualize time. And so it's about how the earth is moving through these various cycles, and how it takes 26,000 years to move through all 12 astrology signs with this system. And so we spend just over 2100 years in each astrology sign. And so what is occurring is Earth is leaving the. To Pisces energy and entering into the Age of Aquarius. And so there's different timelines that determine how that's calculated. So yes, that relates to the procession of the equinox. It relates to also what we're just noticing as a whole on the planet and where the planets are. So for example, Pluto is in Aquarius now, which is going to be deeply transforming Aquarian energies. We previously had Saturn in Aquarius. We had Neptune in Aquarius. We've had Uranus and Aquarius, like we've had these planets moving through Aquarius that has brought in more of these Age of Aquarius energies that we're moving into. So there isn't just like a set date that it absolutely happens. It's like an incoming waves of energy that slowly come through and infiltrate our consciousness. And so we're moving into more of the Age of Aquarius themes, which advances humanity. And a big part of Aquarius is the bigger perception and perspective of our lives and our journeys, and so it takes us into more of the off planetary energies. Aquarius is astrology. It is the cosmos. It's the bigger themes that we think through and we learn from and we conceptualize the next vision or the new dreams. So we're entering into a time of powerful co creation abilities. And we're also entering into times of advancing our intelligence technology solutions. You know, obviously we have artificial intelligence AI coming in to many areas of our lives. We have robots being tested and experimented with in multiple areas of our lives. We have advancements happening off planet with space discovery and space experiments. So we have a lot going on that's expanding our consciousness, and we're trying to figure it out and think it through and understand how it affects us, individually and collectively. So the Aquarius energies are very big and broad. They're about elaborate systems and bigger understandings of how to use effective systems. So we're in a phase of like, well, what can we do next? What's possible next? And it's really bringing up some big questions around individual purposes, around humanity as a whole, collective energy fields, what we're what we're shifting and changing in the planet that's for the betterment of humanity, and then what's not? So it's a huge topic, but there's a lot going on now that's so significant in the astrology, and that's part of why this grand cycle that you mentioned is so big right now. Because we are more aware of the grand cycle and we're more aware of what is possible at this time, we're moving out of the Age of Pisces. And the Age of Pisces, what has been on the planet since, well, about 2000 years. And so here we are in 2025 so if you go back to when the calendar started around the year 2000 right? We go back to 00, ad. That's a marker of when the Age of Pisces probably started, and so the Age of Pisces was all about searching for parts of ourselves in others, searching for service. Pisces is about the higher principles of spirituality, but we also have been bombarded by various programming and messages around those who are connected spiritually, such as those who are religious leaders, or those who had more access to God. Um, a sense of, Well, I have to be in service. I have to demonstrate my goodness. Um, we've had a lot of Pisces energies as well, around the arts, around what lifts us into other realms, and how to expand our imaginations, and how to not only be in this earth bound experience, the Age of Pisces serves a purpose, and asking us, well, what are we putting energy into outside of ourselves? And so, part of the realization is where we have been practicing levels of powerlessness that we want to claim back. And we say, well, I don't want to give my power to this person or this institution, this institution or this belief system. We move from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, which is our knowingness and knowing what is truer for us now, knowing what our individual energies need. And so we're looking at, well, what have I given my power to that? I'm realizing it doesn't serve me anymore. It doesn't really fulfill me. It's not in alignment with what I know now. So we're seeing this shift. You. Ionica, from all these areas of life, from everything in the 3d which, you know, businesses, corporations, institutions, governments, like, there's a sense of, Well, why do they have more power than I do? Or is that what we want at this time? Are these individuals who are in charge that have the best interest of their people in their heart? Are they operating from a place of higher consciousness or lower consciousness? We're asking some bigger questions now, because we are awakening to more of what is possible and the new systems that we want to put energy towards.

Jannecke Øinæs 20:38

Hey guys, I want to jump in here to give my thanks for being part of the Wisdom From North community. Your support and engagement means the world to us. We put so much passion, so much love into these episodes, and my intention is really to be part of this great shift of consciousness, to do what I can do with this channel, to help people expand their consciousness. Love themselves more, follow their purpose and shine their light. So if you haven't yet subscribed, I would love for you to do so. Thank you so much. You'll find the link somewhere here below,and now let's go back to the episode. All right, so I mean, it's probably impossible for you to predict what happens after the age of Aquarius,

Molly McCord 21:28

then we move into the age of Capricorn, and so that will be about, you know, 2000 years or so from now. But if we're back here, you know, for in those lifetimes, then it's going to be really fascinating, because then it will be about the rebuilding and restructuring of the appropriate I see it as architecture, like energy, architecture on the planet, of what is best serving the people, of what we need in place that allows us to enjoy this life that gives us purpose and enhances our missions. But that age of Capricorn is going to be about new leaders, new institutions and structures, a sense of how business is done, how business is conducted on the planet. So it's interesting, because that's all, that's what's shifting at this time as well, is that we're realizing what no longer serves us in those institutions, governments, structures, etc. So yeah, in about 2000 years, we move into the age of Capricorn, and that will be a time of rebuilding and looking at what is necessary and effective.

Speaker 1 22:39

And maybe we're in another dimension then, or density.

Molly McCord 22:42

Yeah, doing that over there, we've moved.

Speaker 1 22:49

Well, take it back to this time. It seems like 2025, is extremely important and different, and there are energies and planets in a certain positions we've never seen before, etcetera, or haven't seen for a long time. Could you sort of map it out, what is happening in the stars that is reflecting what's going on down here on Earth?

Molly McCord 23:15

Yes. So one of the big themes of 2025 is understanding what we are closing out and moving away from that has served its purpose, and that's because we are going to continue to have Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, which is significant endings, endings of karma, endings of work, endings of dreams, endings of a part of our life that's meant to move forward with new starts. So Saturn and Neptune in the final degrees of Pisces is showing you what is complete at a 3d level, which is Saturn. Saturn is your everyday physical reality, how you set goals, how you show up, what you put your energy into building. Then Neptune is about the 5d and Neptune is about what has been unconsciously operating within us and around us that has also served a purpose and now needs a new start. Neptune relates to what we are intuitively feeling and sensing. Neptune is the unseen. It's where we're sensing that okay, we are on an ascension path, and that we're here to evolve. And people are going to continue to have big questions around, what's next for me? What's next? What do I do next? I don't know. And then Saturn and Neptune, both of these planets, move into Aries, and they're in Aries in the middle of 2025 which is showing you what you want to intentionally create now based on who you are. So Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and it brings you back to your self identity of what matters to you. Saturn wants you to feel that you have a plan, goals, things to practically Take care. Of that you're building, and then the Neptune Energy wants you to be inspired to have this new dream that's truly in alignment with what you desire. Now, both of these planets are moving us forward, while at the same time showing us what is complete and what is ending that actually it's ending across multiple lifetimes and timelines. That's why it's so big for people. That's why we're seeing people change course in their work, in their focus, why jobs are ending and phasing out, why people are closing out certain relationships or friendships. There's no longer a resonance. There's no longer a sense of we're on the same path or we're on the same frequency. So 2025 has a lot of endings, and it has the incoming beginnings that aren't quite solid yet, but we feel them. We feel them arriving. We sense them coming in. So there's a very strong in between energy throughout 2025 that we're learning to navigate with, with trust in ourselves and with also a very deep connection to our power and what we can create at this time.

Speaker 1 26:14

Interesting. I just saw another astrologer actually predict big changes in June and July, 2025 in a negative sense, is that something you see, or do you see something else?

Molly McCord 26:27

I don't, I don't predict negative things. No, that isn't, that isn't my style. I mean, everyone can offer what they want to the astrological conversation. But though the what, the way I see it is that, you know change is imminent. Change is happening. And there are some important choice points that we are being presented with and that we are moving into some whole new potentials here that mean, yes, there will be endings. There will be significant things that shift. I mean, there will be downfalls and collapses. That's all part of it, but the chaos is also part of the co creation of the new and I think that there's millions of people who are already on that higher path of the 5d understandings of where to direct the energy. I think we're going to continue to see greater separation between the 3d and the 5d dynamics. And so yes, in some of those lower expressions, those lower energies, things have to collapse. They they have to end, and that could be devastating for some people. But there's also these new openings that are coming in and approaching that we're meant to move towards. So that's part of why this year is a big deal, because we have these overlapping influences, and people have to consciously choose, you know, what are you moving towards? How are you ascending? What are you choosing and putting energy towards and and understanding that that's the cycle that we're meant to to welcome and we're meant to move into. So even if there's going to be perhaps some tragic, difficult things, there's also going to be some beautiful openings and new possibilities that arrive as a result.

Speaker 1 28:14

Is it just fair to say that everything is just more intense this year?

Molly McCord 28:19

Oh yeah, yeah, it's turned up to 11. Yeah, it's all more intense. There's a sense of we're all feeling it, because the energies are really powerful. And I feel too that part of what is incoming with these planetary shifts of 2025 is requiring us to be more aware of our own power. And so here come these influencing energies saying, Well, what do you want to choose? And the pressure could be a lot for those who have been very blind or asleep or just unaware, you know, just unaware. But then for those who are conscious and are ascending, they're going to know this is what I'm choosing. This is what I want. I do feel. You know, one of my beliefs is that the universe is benevolent and wants everyone to ascend and everyone to choose what is correct for them. But of course, it comes down to free will, consciousness, sovereignty, what you're drawn to, where your belief systems lie. So I think many people are going to be ascending powerfully because of the choices they have to make this year. I really think people are gonna be like, You know what? I'm not playing it small. I'm not holding back. I'm not I didn't come this far only to come this far. I know what I want. I know more of who I am. I'm choosing this, and I feel like that's what many people are going to be gravitating towards.

Speaker 1 29:49

Interesting. And a lot of people speak obviously about 2025 because we're in 2025 recording this. However, I am curious about 2026 and what's to come this is. Sort of the big in between, what is then behind the corner and

Molly McCord 30:06

yes, well, 2026 2728 and 29 I'm just going to bring all those years in here. There's going to be some incredible advancements that ask us to look at, what does humanity now do on this planet? What is your job? What is your role? What is your dream? What kind of connections do you want to have with other people? What do you want in your life? Because the energies are going to be moving very quickly and advancing us to these whole new realms that we thought only existed in sci fi movies, or we thought were only like these crazy, weird experiments. We're going to be surrounded by whole new ways of living, and this is because we have Uranus in Gemini that will be trining Pluto in Aquarius six times, and it's going to be advancing us intellectually education, through education, through communications, through what we do on a daily basis, to how we live our lives. It's going to be changing our priorities, how we go about moving through the day. It's bringing in new ways of being human. I mean, it's a really big deal to have this Uranus in Gemini. Uranus is the planet of accelerated awakenings, of these fast, quirky developments that you can't see, that are out of the blue, Gemini is the energy of our daily lives, communications, language schools. Gemini rules our neighborhoods, siblings, where we go about doing our daily errands. Uranus brings in innovative innovative solutions and developments into how we live our lives, and then the trying to Pluto in Aquarius is advancing us very rapidly. I'm just looking at, for example, the use of chat GPT and how that has become commonplace now. I mean, I have friends who have conversations with chat GPT, and so they go to that chat GPT as their therapist, as their social media manager. I mean, they're using it daily and regularly to get these quick remedies and quick solutions. So you just take that simple example and how that changes how we approach our daily lives. We're going to be going into some very new places here that it's hard to fathom and hard to understand what it looks like, but it's just happening so quickly. So I know this can sound like hyperbole, jannecke, and it can sound like, well, what does this mean exactly? That's part of the dilemma. We don't know exactly what it's going to look like or what it's what it's going to be, but it's going to be fast moving, communications, developments and increases in information like we've never seen before.

Speaker 1 33:09

And you mentioned different realms or becoming aware of it. I don't remember your exact words, but I understood it as we're sort of opening up to our multi dimensionality. Perhaps. I mean, is that something that we'll all see and be aware of, it will be on the news, or is it more on the individual level that more and more people will be psychic becoming aware of? Oh, I actually exist on different levels, and I'm realizing I'm more than I thought I was,

Molly McCord 33:41

yes, well, I think it's going to be everywhere. So yes, it will be at an individual level. It will be our own personal journeys through our own psychic gifts and our multi dimensional access points. Like we're all going to have more experiences with that, I believe, and we're going to see more stories that share these breakthroughs and share what was previously, you know, not spoken. I think it's going to be more and more readily shared and told. So we're going to see these stories more frequently, and I feel like there's going to be a deep curiosity about what does it mean, and how does it work? And of course, some people are going to be more interested than others. You know, that's that's just going to be a part of it, but there's also going to be more people readily available and readily accepting what we can do. I mean, just just thinking about astral travel and remote viewing and other psychic abilities and gifts that have actually been studied and practiced. I mean, the CIA has released documentation on what they studied around these practices. So there's, there's a sense of like it's, it's been available, but it hasn't been accepted. It hasn't been endorsed. It. You will. But now people are realizing, yes, this is real. Yes, I can do this, and I think that's going to be part of where we venture. And it could be very quickly. It could happen quite quickly.

Jannecke Øinæs 35:11

It is quite amazing to live in a time where it seems like things are being revealed about our true nature that has been hidden for so long, it's like the veil is lifting. Yeah, here's another reality. Here's what you really are. I mean, it's quite amazing that we're living in such times, and I guess we have chosen to

Molly McCord 35:34

absolutely and I think that part of how this plays out, or how this comes together, just how I'm seeing it is that it's this level of awareness of what we're capable of that's going to change how humanity exists on this planet. And we're going to question things and look at, well, how do I want to spend my time? You know, we're moving out of the factory age, where you had to have a job from nine to five. You know, we've moved into using computers, working from home, being on the internet. You know, remote work has certainly been more common than ever before. So we're gradually moving away from these set structures and expectations of how we thought we would live our lives, like, Oh, I thought I would have to get a job nine to five, work 40 years and retire? Well, that's all out the window. Now. You know all of that is thrown up in the air, and so we're moving into more ways of spending our time, spending how we use our intelligence and our abilities every day. And this is going to continue to change humanity's experiences on this planet. We're shifting into well, what does it mean to live a good life here? What does that look like to me now? Like, how can I take care of my family? How do I make money? How do I do work that's rewarding and fulfilling? How do I honor who I am? I think we're going to be asking more of these bigger questions and then readily applying them into our lives, like there's going to be even more solutions for how to do that. So, yeah, that's what we're can continue to move into, is the purpose and the role of humans on the planet.

Speaker 1 37:13

And speaking of purpose, do you believe, and I do believe. You do believe that we, that we all have a purpose, like a unique purpose.

Molly McCord 37:24

Mm, hmm, absolutely. And that's one of the ways that astrology is so eye opening for people, because you can find you you can identify two purposes in your astrology chart. The first purpose would be through your mid heaven and your 10th house, and that is your professional purpose, what you're here to contribute to the world at large, the gifts you have that you're here to share, how you're meant to be recognized and seen, how you're here to achieve, and what that looks like for you more specifically. So the mid Heaven and the 10th house are very helpful as your career counselors as an understanding you know what you're good at and what you can offer that would be satisfying. And then the second purpose you can find in an astrology chart is related to your north node, and your north node is more of your soul's purpose in this lifetime of what you're here to learn and embrace that can be in any part of your chart, that can be in any sign any house, and that shows you the soul's purpose of what you want to experience, what your soul growth journey is in terms of what the skills you're developing, the skills you're developing, the people you're pulling in to help you develop those skills and have certain experiences. So the North Node would be related to your soul's purpose, and then the midheaven and 10th house would be more about, let's say, your human purpose or your human mission in this lifetime. So those are two areas of a chart for people to look at and to understand that they can be very different. They don't have to match up, but that they're both very fascinating parts of your energy.

Speaker 1 39:06

And what do you think about the big discussion about free will and destiny and how connected they are, or whether the one is stronger than the other?

Molly McCord 39:19

Well, I feel like the destiny is what we call in to experience in this lifetime that we will have, like this magnetic, gravitational pull to bring into our awareness. And then our free will is our choice, what we do with it, what we what we choose. And so the free will can always override that. I mean, you don't have to say yes to something, you don't have to accept something. You can, you know, you can push away a job, or you can deny something if you're not ready or if you're afraid. So the free will is part of the human experience, as part of what we're here to play with on the planet. So free will is always a. Important, it will also align you with a different trajectory. I believe that some of our destined energies elevate us and take us into new things that have your name on it, but you don't have to say yes, you don't have to go down that path. So it is a very interesting perhaps, perhaps a push pull. For some people, it can trigger, you know, parts of your fears. It can trigger things that are unknown and uncertain. So it would be looking at what how you deal with that, how you faced things that you don't understand or you don't know about yourself yet. But free will and destiny are just definitely part of the human experience, and also, you know, grant us access to even more experiences, more energies,

Speaker 1 40:52

and going back to the cosmos, how is the cosmos and maybe life out in the cosmos affecting us, influencing us on levels that we are not even aware of.

Molly McCord 41:08

Well, we we are such beautiful, energetic beings, and we don't know that about ourselves just yet. You know we we see our physical cells. We know we have a brain, we have our eyeballs, like we see ourselves as these physical entities, but we have such vast energy sensors. And so we stand on Earth and it's and it's, you know, we're the conduit between Earth and the Moon, Earth and the Sun, like we are receiving these energies all the time from the sun. We receive neutrinos, billions of neutrinos, these energy codes from the sun every minute. Um, so we are, we are surrounded by so many energies, but we haven't fully understood them, or we don't even think about them. We just take it for granted. Uh, but as you do your healing work and your energy work, and you become more curious. You become more healed, more open. Often people start to feel much more sensitive. I mean, do you feel solar flares? Is that something that you you feel like when the sun is really active or there's big solar flares coming in? Do you feel those? Jannecke,

Speaker 1 42:16

I I'm not sure, but it's interesting that you're saying it, because I've, I'm having the word solar flares in my mind right now.

Molly McCord 42:25

So, and it's and it's fascinating, because we don't often know when the solar flares happen. It's like, you'll, you might, so I follow various websites that tell me about them, and I'll be like, that's why I was so tired today, or that's why maybe I was so energized. Because I'll read about the solar flares, and then I'll connect it to my experience of the day, and that's what I've been practicing, is like, Well, that explains what my energy has been feeling and sensing that I didn't know. So I think that solar flares is a great way for people to just simply trust their energy and to what they're tapping into. Because when you realize we've had some really big solar flares, oftentimes, they overload our systems. We're tired out of the blue. You could have headaches, you could feel overwhelmed. You might have a hard time sleeping. You might feel that the energies have ramped up and you don't know why. You can't figure out what's going on or why it's happening. But solar flares are one way that we as energy beings are always receiving these, these bigger cosmic energies. So that's just an example of like how we can feel that on a daily basis without even knowing it.

Speaker 1 43:33

So is that sort of an update we're receiving by the solar flares?

Molly McCord 43:39

It can be energy updates. It can certainly be consciousness updates. And sometimes the solar flares can be very It's like they ignite something or activate us. And you could feel more energized out of the blue. You could just have a sense of being really inspired, ready to go, really productive. Other times, it's the opposite end of the spectrum for some people. And it's interesting, because even if you were to survey, let's say, 50 people, I've noticed that it's like half and half. Some people are really overwhelmed and exhausted. Other people are like, today was amazing. Today was awesome. So I think it's just one factor within this, like cosmic soup of energies that we're experiencing that that shows how energetically aware we are, we are, and that we're becoming.

Speaker 1 44:29

So would you say that these solar flares are happening more frequently now than before?

Molly McCord 44:35

Yeah, we're in a solar maximum cycle, and so it's increasing, and I it's usually a seven year cycle, and we're in that cycle where the sun is more active, and this is what's been studied for decades, for many years around the sun's cycles. And so we're in a cycle that is bursting with more activity, energy output, and you can track it. You can see what's happening on the sun. Um, that can show you, you know what we're feeling. Because sometimes it only takes, like, eight seconds for energy from the sun to reach us here on Earth. Other times it takes longer. But that's, that's what is going on more frequently at this time, and it's definitely a part of the energies of 2025 2026 and and into the second half of this decade,

Speaker 1 45:25

and then after 2029 it seems like things will shift for the better.

Molly McCord 45:31

I think, Well, I think it's going to shift for the better. Before that, I think that we're going to have some some wonderful developments and some new experiences and new realities on the planet in the second half of the decade, but I think that as we move into 2030, and beyond, we're going to have some very different ways of being ourselves on the planet. Some new things are going to be commonplace. Certainly, astrology is becoming more mainstream. Other energies are going to be more present. I believe we're going to have more connection with our extraterrestrial species that are out there and on the planet. I think we're going to have more cosmic influences that we're aware of. Of course, our technologies and solutions are going to be very different in the next four to five years. So it's actually hard, I think, to predict, and I believe that that's part of being in the higher energies, being more in the 5d ascended energies, is that we're accessing more of the quantum field more regularly. And it's really shifting our experiences of co creation.

Speaker 1 46:47

I find it really fascinating because I'm actually noticing in my inner circle, people who are not naturally interested in spirituality, or maybe they're agnostic who are like, you know, it's interesting what you're doing, but it's not for me kind of thing. And then a few have started coming to me, telling me about spiritual and mystical experiences that they all of a sudden have had. This one person who had a vision during while they were sleeping, and they woke up, and they saw this big figure in the room who was like, cleaning the room or something. And he was frightened. He was really frightened, and it was so real. And he closed his eyes, and the figure was still there, or the being was still there, and he has never believed in anything. And then this other person was like, I just had a lucid dream. Now I get what you're speaking about, and I was doing what you have been speaking about, like jumping, walking through walls, etc, because I've been sharing that you could do that, you know, in my webinars and stuff like that. And she was like, I knew what to do, but I've never had it before, and it wasn't anything they were asking for or practicing. Several more people coming with stories now. And I'm like, it's happening, like people are becoming psychic. And that's so fascinating. It is.

Molly McCord 48:15

It's like these the awakenings are happening quicker and faster. And it's because I believe, you know, a part of their energy is absolutely ready that they're that they're going to sense that this is real. And I would say that's a big part of any kind of ascension is that it has to be personal. It has to be something that affects you, that you believe in and that you validate for yourself, that even if no one else can see that big being in the room, you know what you saw, and you know what the energy was. So people are experiencing these developments, these awakenings, faster than ever right now, which is absolutely what the astrology shows us. The astrology is going to continue to be dynamic and fast moving. People are going to come on board very quickly with new understandings that they thought were weird or they thought were absurd. They're going to realize, no, I think there's something here. And then that's when people go onto YouTube, you know, and they're like, entering in, like what they saw or what the experience was, and then they get confirmation from others right away that, yes, I've had that experience too. Yes, I know what you mean. So yeah, it's going to keep happening faster and faster, and I think that's exciting for us. I feel like that's part of how this ascension spiral continues to move us forward at a rapid pace.

Jannecke Øinæs 49:35

Yeah, it makes it a bit easier to speak about that. People are looking at you like, You're crazy. And they're like, Yeah, I've had some experiences myself, and it's interesting that they haven't asked for it. They haven't practiced it, like I've been practicing this and that in order to have some mystical experiences so I could have my proof. So I practiced for five weeks, and I managed to go out my body. Or become lucid and stuff like that. It didn't just happen, but with them that it just happens. And that's what it feels like, that people are awakening without even asking. But then again, they their soul might be asking. You know, their soul might have made that decision already on another level, perhaps

Molly McCord 50:20

Absolutely. And I also think that as the energies on the planet, I've seen it clear out, like density and some some harder things have been cleared out through many people doing their personal work. It's like, it's, it's hard to describe it, but I've seen like, the energy clear out, and that means there's less congestion. There's there's less things blocking those awakenings. So people have like these instant understandings, and there's nothing that slows it down. There's nothing that prevents it from connecting for them because of what the forerunners, what the leaders, have been doing to clear out the energies and to set the stage. And so there's no, I don't mean that to sound like there's a hierarchy or there's no superiority or elitism in that. It's simply how we're all contributing to the energy on the planet and how we each have a role in supporting ourselves and others with their awakening. So it's like, okay, if I cleaned out this room, that means you can walk through that room faster. That's all that means. And so we both get to enjoy the clean room, and we don't have all the boxes and junk and everything's, you know, clogging up the space. Um, that's a way to understand it, so that it benefits all of us, and then it benefits more people, having these awakenings and having clarity sooner. I remember back in 2008 2009 it would took me a long time to go through some deeper cleansing areas of myself and of my energy. I just remember it was really, it was just kind of heavy, and it was just a slower moving energy. And now in 2025 it's like you can move through something in a day. It doesn't have to take a year or, you know, four months, you can move through the energy much faster. So that's part of how I see this working and how it's benefiting all of us.

Speaker 1 52:09

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Um, the Pleiadians that you channel, do they have a special message for us? What are their sort of main focus that is coming through you,

Molly McCord 52:24

what I feel around that energy first, is a lot of compassion for how everyone is is being offered opportunities to grow and expand in these new frequencies, and that there's A deep respect for free will, like we've discussed, but that part of our compassion is it's like I see it happening through these levels of other lifetimes, and that some people get stuck in other experiences and energies from other lifetimes, and that's where they meet their compassion wall, or that's where they meet something that they're still struggling with and moving through, but they're showing me that we have support more than ever to continue to love and accept ourselves for everything we've been through, and to not get locked into any particular stories, narratives or themes that The mind will grasp onto. And so a lot of what I see is like this showering of compassion over our energy systems, to let something go or to let it be, to soften to ourselves, to understand that we're here to have multiple experiences across multiple lifetimes and timelines, but that it's also about continuing to move the energy, and that if people get stuck in something, there's always a way to, like, flush it out, to soften it and to release it. And that's part of the big energy I've just been feeling around what is available to us now is, how can I be more accepting of my experiences, of who I am and what I've been through. How can I be more accepting of other humans who are also on their own unique soul journeys and who have their own lessons or healing challenges available, like, how can I continue to be in that place of seeing who I am, seeing who others are, but to access more compassion that doesn't take it's almost like, doesn't take it too seriously, doesn't, doesn't think this is the final definition of anything. So it's like this compassionate evolutionary energy that I feel is keep is coming onto the planet, and it's going to keep coming onto the planet so that we can voyage forward and not get stuck in any I see it as these past karmic timelines and these past energies that we're not meant to hold on to.

Jannecke Øinæs 54:52

It's good that we have galactic support,

Molly McCord 54:55

because we need it, right? We need it. And I feel like there's more. I. There's also more solutions. It's sort of like if you were to meditate on something. It's like if you have a problem or a challenge, if something is really bothering you, you don't have to necessarily figure it out. If you're able to ask for assistance, you might get that breakthrough and download in ways you can't even imagine. That's what's available to us as well is like just being open to the fact that that assistance can come through and show you a solution that you wouldn't have naturally seen or chosen.

Jannecke Øinæs 55:31

Yeah, I think many of us sometimes forget to ask, are there any dates that you know as an astrologer that will help us to be aware of brace for or align with coming up.

Molly McCord 55:49

Well, we have some big energies coming up, especially in August and September, that are meant to move us forward. I feel like the second half of 2025 is actually going to be a little bit easier than the first half of 2025 so I'm just going to actually give it a broad stroke that the second half of the year is going to move us into new energies and new territory that we've been waiting for or we thought wouldn't happen, or was stalled out the first half of 2025 astrologically was very intense, very intense with Retrogrades, with eclipses, with energies at these anaretic critical degree points, which is the 29th degree of each sign. And it brings up final tests. And so we've had a lot of final tests, big choices, maybe big things coming up to your awareness that you've got to take care of that maybe it's overwhelming, scary, emotional. The second half of the year moves us forward, flows the energy into new ways of working with it. What to do, what to focus on, what to create. So I would say the second half of the year is going to support us more. I think the energy will be a bit lighter, more inspiring, more dynamic, and it could also show people, this is why I went through whatever it was the first half of 2025 so 2025 is bringing up the ending of stories, and then the second half of the year is the beginning of new stories.

Jannecke Øinæs 57:29

Okay, so there are things to look forward to, if there's hope.

Molly McCord 57:32

You know, there's a hopefulness here that I feel about the second half of the year, and that can give people an understanding of, okay, this is where I'm going, but also it's not going to stay where it is. And I think that's we need that, you know, our human psyche and our human spirit need hope and need a sense of, yes, the new is coming in. It comes in in a divine timing, and the astrology is showing us that it is just around the corner,

Speaker 1 58:00

so no three days of darkness or something like that.

Molly McCord 58:05

Well, that's been talked about for like, five years now. Hmm, I remember when that was talked about starting in 2020 so I guess it depends on how you interpret that. I mean, there's there's things that people have been predicting for a very long time, and, you know the grid going down and things collapsing and this and that, and you know anything's possible. But what I see too is that as humanity is rising in our frequencies, it also lessens the possibilities of collective traumatic events. And as we are raising our awareness and light, it also lessens those energies seeping through and coming up dramatically. So anything's possible, but, I mean, these things have been talked about for years now, so, so we're still good, yeah, I think we're still okay. We're still moving along. I mean, I I've heard things about, remember, was a few years ago, and someone was like, Molly, do you want to say anything before the grid goes down? September, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, I don't think that's going to happen, and I don't want to contribute to that narrative. But everyone has their own, you know, energy and belief systems around that they want to put focus on.

Speaker 1 59:17

Interesting. Wow, fascinating. Thank you so much. Thank you for doing your work and going in depth elaborating on this. And I think I mean, it's really exciting times. It is an opportunity if we see it like that, and if we see our sovereignty, our empowerment, our our true essence in it, instead of going into fear, I think we will move into wonderful times if we choose to say yes to this really an opportunity,

Molly McCord 59:51

yeah, and I think, you know, we can also approach it as like the best is happening now. The best is yet to come. You know, there's going to be some great developments coming. About that support us and that allow us to live a more peaceful, harmonious life. If that's what you want to create, and if that's what you want to focus on, that's what I want, at least, and that's what I want, you know, from my family and my child and my loved ones. So that's what I'm investing in, is that this energy is going to help us enjoy our time on the planet even more, because that's what we're going to want and require.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:00:26

Yeah. And I love something you, you said, Can we get it wrong? No, what if you rephrase that that too, I always get it right. You said something on the lungs of that that I took to heart,

Molly McCord 1:00:40

yeah, yeah. And I think that's where we continue to hold ourselves responsible for for what we really believe, because it's human to have our worries and our fears like that's just part of what we're going to feel at times. But we also have to course correct and and say, Well, okay, even if I'm concerned about this, I also believe that it's going to improve, or that I'm going to know exactly what to do. I'm going to make the best choice. I can't get it wrong. I will always get it right for myself, and it will always lead me forward in a beautiful way. So that's part of what we have to honor in ourselves, is that we can choose to see that in who we are.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:01:21

I love that. I always get it right, yeah. Well, thank you so much, Molly. I have a few questions I ask all my guests. Yeah. The first one is, what is self love to you?

Molly McCord 1:01:35

Oh, I think self love is in this beautiful, radical acceptance of who you are. And I find that it exists in the astrology chart of loving your chart, loving your energies, your aspects, everything you came in to play with and evolve. And I think that your astrology chart is a beautiful gateway to self acceptance and self love. So I see it as how we're able to honor all energies within ourselves, but hold, but hold a higher self, love frequency, regardless of anything.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:02:08

And what is the deeper meaning of life, from your perspective,

Molly McCord 1:02:13

I feel that we're here to have some big adventures to create important connections that we're here to play on this huge spectrum of energy, and that we're here to see what we can make the most of for ourselves. So I see it as we're here to have a beautiful human experience that involves the full the full spectrum continuum of energies and feelings and that that's what gives it color, that's what gives it life, and that's what we get to consciously create

Speaker 1 1:02:48

beautiful where can people connect with you if they want to learn more or dive deeper?

Molly McCord 1:02:53

I have a podcast every Monday and Wednesday. It's intuitive astrology with Molly McCord.
