According to astrologer Molly McCord, we are entering a powerful new cycle — the era of self-empowerment — where individuals reclaim their sovereignty, activate intuitive abilities, and break free from outdated systems. In this episode, Molly explains why 2026–2027 marks a major energetic turning point that will reshape both our inner world and global structures.

This isn’t just another astrological phase. It’s a frequency shift.

The Era of Self-Empowerment and the Rise of Intuition

Molly describes the coming years as a time when many people will suddenly access heightened intuitive and psychic abilities. Clairvoyance, clairsentience, telepathy — gifts that once felt distant or “otherworldly” may begin to feel natural and embodied.

As outer planets move into faster fire and air signs, life accelerates. We shift from slower emotional processing into dynamic creation. The message is clear: this is no longer about waiting for external validation. It’s about trusting your own inner guidance.

In this era of self-empowerment, sovereignty becomes essential. You are being asked: What do you choose? What do you create? What are you no longer available for?

Collapse of Old Systems and Financial Shifts Ahead

Molly also speaks openly about the continued collapse of outdated paradigms — institutions, leadership models, and financial structures that once seemed permanent.

Looking toward 2028–2029, she notes significant astrological alignments pointing to a restructuring of global financial systems. Her advice is practical: reduce debt where possible, simplify, conserve resources, and become more conscious about consumption. The more stable your personal foundation, the easier it will be to navigate collective change.

This isn’t fear-based forecasting. It’s empowerment through awareness.

A 400-Year Cycle and the Individual Awakening

One of the most fascinating insights Molly shares is that we are entering a new 400-year energetic cycle that emphasizes individual creativity and self-trust. The future will favor those who develop their unique gifts, think independently, and build from their authentic energy.

The deeper invitation of this era of self-empowerment is simple but profound: know your chart, know your design, know your energy — and live it fully.

The world is changing quickly. But the real shift begins within you.

Transcript of the interview

Molly McCord 0:00

Here in 2026 2027 and beyond, this is going to be the era of self empowerment, where people are going to feel like they're tuning in to more abilities they've had in other realms, other dimensions, other planets, that now they're able to embody and access here. So I think that's going to be part of our merging of energies in these faster moving frequencies. So I think a lot of people are going to just overnight feel like their intuitive abilities and psychic senses are otherworldly. There's going to continue to be the collapse of the old paradigm of structures, institutions and roles that we thought were perhaps permanent. All of that is going to be recreated into new forms of some kind, and on different timelines. I mean, this stuff doesn't just happen overnight. We're going to have some big shifts coming up, 2028, 2029 around our financial systems.

Jannecke Øinæs 0:59

In what way would you advise that we prepare for this shift of the financial system?

Molly McCord 1:06

Yeah, so I think this is really important. So it comes down to some very practical things. First.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:18

Molly McCord, a warm welcome back to the Wisdom From North show. How are you?

Molly McCord 1:23

I'm so great. Jannecke, thank you for having me back. I'm really looking forward to our conversation today.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:29

Me too. I'm so excited to have you back, because I was so fascinated by our last conversation, and now we're even going to meet in person in Sedona in a few months in the Sedona ascension retreat. And I can't wait for that. That's going to be amazing.

Molly McCord 1:43

It's going to be such a great event. And just so everyone knows, if you want to join us, it's happening as the astrological new year begins, march 20, 21st and 22nd and so it's a powerful start to this new cycle in Sedona. So yes, both Jannecke and I will be there, and I can't wait.

Jannecke Øinæs 2:04

And for everybody who's new to you, Molly, you are an astrological astrologer, and you've been so for more than 30 years, and you've been an author of more than 10 books, which is quite amazing, a best selling author. You're also helping people activate their innate soul purpose through astrology. And I'm also passionate about that, so I love that, and we might speak about this today. And also, you are a channeler, channeling galactic beings, and we hear more about them more and more I got to say about disclosure these days, so I am very curious to look into how the energies are influencing the planet right now and ourselves as we move into 2026 and soon 2027 but before that, I want to throw it over to you. How do you feel our conversation today might expand people's minds and consciousness?

Molly McCord 2:56

Well, I feel like we're living in a time of great anticipation. You know, we're sensing that big shifts are happening. We feel them. We're seeing them, but we're also kind of waiting, and I feel like this is a powerful point for all of us collectively, to consciously choose what we want in this new cycle, because we are more conscious than ever before. We are more attuned in to energetics. Our frequencies are rapidly expanding. All of this is part of our ascension, and we're at such a pivotal point in choosing what we want on the planet, but more importantly, choosing what you want for yourself right now. So this is a time for people to really hear what dreams did I come here to create an experience? What parts of my life do I want to improve? Where am I ready to expand into more manifestation abilities like all of this is possible for us, janik, and it's not just things that we talk about. It's so real. So I just want to let people know that that's very strong energy on the planet, and that's also part of what we're moving into for the next few years.

Jannecke Øinæs 4:06

Especially fascinating. And could you sort of map this out for us? Because I'm curious about how astrology affects us on an individual level, but also on a collective level, and how they go together. Because I can look at my chart and say, okay, these energies are and planets are influencing me right now, but then we also have the collective and I'm curious how they go together.

Molly McCord 4:34

Yeah, no. Great question. So everyone has their birth chart, your natal chart, which is composed of three data points, your birth time, your birth location, your birth date, we create the astrology chart is then created from that information, and that is your cosmic blueprint of energy that you are here to live, experience and activate in this lifetime. So at the time of your birth, it's like. Snapshot of the energy. So think of a photograph, right? It's like, okay, it's a moment in time that the energy is stopped, right for you, it's imprinted. And then the planets keep moving, they keep transiting. And as they keep transiting, we call those the Transiting Planets, or transiting energies, that compose what everyone is feeling in the collective so if you were to visualize your natal chart, yannica as like that, that circle with the 12 houses and the various planets and astrology signs outside of your natal chart, the planets keep moving. Those are the Transiting energies that show you what is transiting around your natal chart and how the collective energies of those transiting planets are affecting you now. So this is where the energies are more personal. So for example, if you were born with your son in the 10th house, then the Transiting sun keeps moving one degree a day, and it will eventually move into the 11th house, the 12th house across your ascendant and this is a transiting sun that moves around your chart. All the planets do that. All the planets keep moving. And as they move around your chart, they activate more energies in in your life and in you, the planets could be working with you in a particular house in your chart. And then for someone else, it could be working in the exact opposite area of their chart. So if it's working with you and say, Your 10th house, someone else is going to experience it in their fourth house, which is more personal, internal family stuff. So it's very personal for every person, because we each are experiencing these energies in our own unique way, and that's where the energies feel individual. So even though it's happening collectively, you have your own individual experience of that energy and how you're receiving it and working with it.

Jannecke Øinæs 7:01

Thank you for explaining that. And I've heard you also speak about the 12 universal or spiritual laws, and that they are also connected to astrology. And I would love to hear you speak about that, because I'm passionate about those laws, and I'm applying them in my life. So I'm aware of them, and I'm trying to practice being aware of them in my life. So how do they go together with astrology?

Molly McCord 7:28

Well, this is something I realized way back in my earlier astrology studies, I started making these correlations, like 2011 between how various universal spiritual laws match up beautifully with each of the 12 astrology signs. Now there's more than 12 universal spiritual laws, but the ones that come together, they sync up and have this really cool synergy that helps us understand more of how we innately work with the universe. So for example, the universal law of karma, which is cause and effect, is connected to Capricorn energies. So what you put energy into, what you build and create is then what you experience. And of course, this can be for beautiful, positive effects or more detrimental, you know, not so great effects. So the universal law is something that helps us understand more about how the Capricorn energy works. There is the universal law of action, where we're meant to do something, especially in our physical bodies and with our energy field. We're meant to put things into action and make something happen, to assert ourselves. This beautifully connects to Aries, and so it helps to understand how we embody that universal spiritual law, especially if you have a strong sign in your chart. So for those who have a strong Aries or strong Capricorn, then you might resonate with these examples I've given, but it helps to basically add in another layer of energetics to your astrology chart and see how it it relates to the bigger universal energy signatures. And one thing I always stress too, is that we're all connected to all universal spiritual laws, you know, regardless of our charts, but your astrology chart could show you more of what you've experienced throughout your life. And that's something that people have these breakthroughs around. They start to realize, wow, yes, I've been deeply in the universal law of rhythm, or universal law of transmutation of energy, so it helps people understand more of their own gifts and what they maybe are naturally manifesting

Jannecke Øinæs 9:48

that is so fascinating. I haven't heard of that connection before, but obviously it just seems like everything is connected. What about the famous law, the law of attraction? What sign is that correlated to or connected to.

Molly McCord 10:00

I believe that is the energy of I want to say Libra, I'd have to double check, but it's what you're pulling in and manifesting based on what you are putting out. You know, your own energetics and your own frequency. Of course, we're always manifesting, right, everything in our lives. But part of why this is a great tool, is because we become more intentional with these energies and what we want to focus on, especially with our with our everyday intentions, our everyday actions. So it's just a cool new tool. And a lot of people have loved going into this more because, you know, we need the mental understanding of things like we want it to make sense, you know, at some level of our being, so it just connects the dots and gives people more to understand and play with.

Jannecke Øinæs 10:51

And we are going to go deeper into what you see is coming for the future when we look at astrology, and also something that was new to me that we're actually moving into a 400 year cycle, which is huge anywho before we do that, how do you feel that astrology is supporting us and is important to pay attention to, especially at these times?

Molly McCord 11:16

Well, you know, we have so many things developing in astrology that we've all been witnessing. And you could go back to 2020 when the astrologers, myself included, were saying the world is about to change permanently, not to bring about fear, but to help you practically prepare. And so the astrology is the cycle of timing and themes that we're moving through and back in 2020 of course, we had world changing developments unfold well now here in 2026, 2027, and beyond, we're in a brand new cycle of energies that are syncing up, taking us into some powerful new areas of ourselves, areas of life, asking us to be stronger in our individual sovereignty, in our creative abilities to understand what you want in this lifetime that has your name on it. This is going to be the era of the individual, the era of self empowerment. And we've been preparing for this since, actually 2020 but especially in the past two years, when we've gotten a sample of what needs to go what is no longer comfortable, what no longer supports you, what is not your truth and what isn't even what you really want. We're breaking out of old programming. We're breaking out of mind control. We're breaking out of our own unconsciousness, and so we're entering a time that's requiring us to be more self aware and to actively participate in what we're creating in this lifetime. And I know that sounds really exciting, but for some people, that can bring up a lot of fears that can bring up self worth issues that can bring up where you feel empowered or not. So we're all being required to step into our ability to live life as creative, empowered individuals. And the astrology is is taking us there very quickly, in 2026 and 2027.

Jannecke Øinæs 13:24

interesting. And I did read somewhere that you said that astrology has really helped you love and accept yourself more, right?

Molly McCord 13:32

Absolutely, Oh, absolutely. Because once you're understanding especially your own astrology chart and what it means, you become more conscious of yourself, your needs, your desires, your talents, your gifts, your challenges. And you start to see not only is this a part of yourself to love and accept, then you also can make some new choices about how to use that energy, about what supports you. You know where growth is needed where healing is required. So I feel that part of understanding an astrology chart is basically loving and accepting yourself more and knowing that there are higher expressions and lower expressions of everything, but the more you know your chart, the more you move into those higher expressions and more of who you are, beautiful.

Jannecke Øinæs 14:25

And before we go into this huge cycle, let's do the years ahead first, and also understand sort of the difference between where we're coming from. So we just ended 2025 which was quite intense. How is 2026 different from 2025 and what are the planetary alignments that are influencing us for the new year?

Molly McCord 14:48

So we've been in, well actually what you could consider a slower cycle where the outer planets, Saturn and Neptune have been in Pisces Uranus is. In Taurus Pluto was previously in Capricorn. This was an ongoing energy of water and earth, and it brought us more into our everyday realities, asking us to tune in to our spiritual lessons, our soul growth, our emotional world, bringing us to the reality of the life we have constructed of what we experience, where we're spending time. You know, having us check in, is this the career I want? Is this where I want to live? Is this the group of people or partners who are correct for me? So all of this has brought our attention to real world creations. Now, as we move forward, all of those planets move into fire and air, which is very dynamic, creative, inspiring, talkative energy. Pluto is now in Aquarius. Uranus is going to return to Gemini. Saturn and Neptune are moving into Aries. These are going to bring about more fast moving developments and areas of growth, and for those who have fire and air in their chart, they're going to feel alive at a whole new way. It's going to feel like life is moving faster than ever. And we're already feeling that, like we're already sensing how things are changing quite dramatically. But with these outer planets all moving ahead into fire and air there's going to feel like we have less time to rest, less time to relax or exhale. A lot is going to be grabbing our attention. A lot is going to be circulating. We're going to feel shifts in our nervous system. It can even be harder to step away because you don't want to miss anything. On the other hand, these energies are very dynamic and inspiring. I feel that a lot of people are going to have some very fast moving ascension spurts where they just feel like they are a whole new person. They're becoming more of who they want to be in this lifetime, there's also going to be a lot more activity happening, whether that is a very active Gaia, a very active planet, but just our lives are going to feel busier, more communications, more things going on, more travel, perhaps, but it's going to feel like life picks up the pace. So essentially, we've been in a slower phase over the past few years, and now we're entering into a much faster pace, a much faster rhythm of life.

Jannecke Øinæs 17:34

Interesting. And what other changes are you seeing ahead that you're especially excited about?

Molly McCord 17:43

Well, I'm excited that people are going to really start to embody more of their spiritual gifts. I think more people are going to be awakening to their Claire cognizance, clairvoyance, clairsentience, all the Claires, almost overnight and almost like having these abilities that they're learning to trust, like, can I believe this? Is this real? Because when you become more intuitive and more psychic, you don't have external validation right away. You just have to trust it for yourself. You just have to believe what you're picking up on and what you're sensing, and there's no one else is going to say, yes, you're right. So a lot of people are going to start to have more of these gifts that support their sovereignty and that support even I feel it too, as more of their it's like star seed and off planet talents are now coming on to this planet where people are going to feel like they're tuning in to more abilities they've had in other realms, other dimensions, other planets, that now they're able to embody and access here. So I think that's going to be part of our merging of energies in these faster moving frequencies. Yannica. I feel like people are going to start to feel like I knew I had this level of telepathy, and it's returning in this lifetime or in this, you know, physical realm, and I'm really coming into it. I'm really owning it. So I think a lot of people are going to just overnight feel like their intuitive abilities and psychic senses are otherworldly.

Jannecke Øinæs 19:17

Wow, that's really exciting. Yeah. I mean, it feels like we're really empowering ourselves here, and then that has to have an effect on the collective as well. So what do we see will happen in the collective, like on the planet, in all our systems?

Molly McCord 19:38

Well, there's going to continue to be the collapse of the old paradigm. You can call it the old earth, the old energies, the density of structures, institutions and roles that we thought were perhaps permanent. All of that is going to be recreated into new forms of some kind, and on different timelines. I mean, this stuff doesn't just happen overnight, but there's going to be some big shifts that we're seeing and witnessing that can be very shocking. Again, things you thought would never happen or that you thought would never go away. I'm seeing it a lot. In leadership on the planet. We're going to have new forms of leadership coming in that, I think, is less about one leader and more about councils, more about collectives that are making decisions and ruling over certain areas of life. So we're going to see new models of leadership that will emerge. We're also going to have, perhaps, new ways of understanding what is worth our energy and what is not. I think there's going to be a lot of people, a lot more people stepping away from anything that is is just not paying off, like it's not worth their time, it's not worth their energy. And that's going to affect many collapses too. So that could be a part of what is restructured with the financial systems. Of course, we need finances and money for our livelihood and for our everyday needs. There's going to be some big changes the end of this decade around Financial Systems, Savings, incomes, salaries, finances based on what we now consider important and valuable, what we want to own, what reflects our life values. So we're going to have some big shifts coming up, 2028 2029 around our financial systems. And this is something that I want to share now, because we don't know what it's going to look like. It could certainly mean there is more digital currency. There could be a new form of trading or bartering that becomes the norm. There could be new things that come into play that affect finances, investments. You know what we put money into but there's going to be some significant global changes in financial markets at the end of this decade, and that's because we're going to have Saturn in Taurus, conjunct Chiron in Taurus, both squaring Pluto in Aquarius. So that's a few years off, but it signals that we're moving towards a big change in the financial systems on this planet. And interestingly enough, global economists are talking about this as well. So people who don't follow astrology, who have no belief in astrology, are also tracking these changes, as we have some some significant global financial events on the horizon.

Jannecke Øinæs 22:46

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. And since I am so fortunate to sit here with one of the world's most famous astrologers, we can sort of embrace and prepare. And in what way would you advise that we prepare for this shift of the financial system.

Molly McCord 23:44

Yeah, so I think this is really important. So it comes down to some very practical things. First, the more you can do to save money and to conserve is valuable. This is the time to do. So what do you cut out? What do you cut back on? What do you realize you don't need. Where are there things that you can sell or get rid of? What are you no longer needing that takes up time and money? Are there payments that you want to decrease, like if you if you have credit card or loans? How can you pay those down more quickly, prioritize minimizing your bills. And I know everyone has their own situations with that. It's very personal, but when I look at the horizon here, over the next few years, the more you can pay off your loans, pay down your debt, pay off things so that you own them, the better off you're going to be. Also, it's looking at your habits of consumerism. What are you spending money on, and do you really need it? Do you really want it? This is about becoming more conscious of what you are buying and what you own, because these are the areas of life that are going to be tested when both Saturn and Chiron move into Taurus. So this is your heads up about that. We are also going to check in on our materialism, our consumerism, any kind of extravagance, like where we're realizing I have too much of this, or I don't want to any more of that. It's a time to cut back and again, that's personal for everyone, but the more you can do so, the better. You might also find that you want to prioritize savings. You might realize it's time to move some money around. If you have a lot of investments, it's these kinds of practical things that relate to your own financial picture that are going to become very important at the end of the decade. So I guess in general, the energetics would say, you want to conserve, you want to cut back, you want to save, and that's how you're going to get ahead of some things that are coming down the pike here.

Jannecke Øinæs 25:56

Wow, interesting. I can't imagine how this will look like. But I mean, then again, I couldn't imagine AI either, right? What kind of professions would you say, if you have any thoughts about that will have a drastic change, like, if we would think about our jobs, like, what would be wise to also brace for and prepare for and what maybe professions would thrive and others will maybe not exist anymore in a few years. What are your thoughts on that?

Molly McCord 26:31

Yeah, well, I know there's a lot of discussion on this, because this is what we're all trying to figure out and kind of get ahead of. And I guess what I've witnessed and what I've heard is that there's just more and more that's being automated through AI and technology. Anything that you know a computer can accomplish faster and better is going to not only upgrade some professions, but then also take away some roles. So I think this is already happening in a number of industries, a number of fields. I've heard about it in real estate. I've heard about it in the legal profession, certainly in anything with computers and data, anything that is requiring people to be on the computer, a lot, all of those roles are being impacted. But even it's the things you don't expect. It's sort of like you can have ai do something for you faster, which is a wonderful convenience that we all love. But then you realize, well, I don't need to pay someone for this. I think it's basically entry level beginner positions that are going to be harder to come by. I think that's where people are struggling to get their foot in the door or to get their career going. Because of this, we're going to see more and more people go into business for themselves, become their own entrepreneur, or do their own startup, which is actually beautifully fitting for the astrology of this time, also for the Human Design energies that we're moving into. This is the era of the individual. So anything you can build and develop on your own is actually a worthwhile investment here. This is where you are investing in your own creativity, your own skills, your own abilities. And this is what I think yannica People are going to be seeking. We're going to want more human to human interactions. We're going to need more individuals who can be healers, who are beautifully gifted with certain energy work. We're going to need truer connections. We're going to still value humans, but in a whole new way, because as these technologies and innovations come in, they're going to make, as I said, a lot of things easier for us, but we still need each other. You know, we still need our human hearts, we still need compassion. We still need to have our human connections and our quality relationships. So I think we're also going to find that more people want to come together. They want to connect in person. We're going to step away from maybe all the internet or all the social media stuff in a that could be a very clear trend, because we're going to seek, how can we be in person? How can we come together? Which is why I'm excited for the Sedona ascension retreat, because then we're gathering with people of like mind, meeting new friends, making connections, and really being in that same energy together. That's exactly what we're going to be seeking more of. And I feel like we're going to also value it more.

Jannecke Øinæs 29:37

That does make sense. And I feel that is good news, because it feels like our world is just becoming more and more devices and technology, and that we're having a relationship with our phone instead of with a person we're communicating with, right?

Molly McCord 29:54

We're all guilty of that too, like we're all so guilty of that. I mean, I even think about, you know, things I do. I'm like, waiting for my son at school, or I'm standing in line at the grocery store, like it's just a habit to look at my phone and I'm like, put it down, Molly, like you didn't do this 10 years ago. So yeah, we have these new habits that we don't even question anymore. But are they really serving us?

Jannecke Øinæs 30:18

Yeah, and then it will have some consequence. And I think humans will always be humans. We have a big heart in the middle of our body and in the middle of our chest, and we need that connection. And the more we are disconnected, I think we're going to yearn for that connection even more so totally. I want to jump over to that beautiful picture you have in the background of the Northern Lights, I just feel at home right there, because obviously the title of the show is wisdom from north and astrologers also point to the north node. And I've heard you speak about this, that the north node is connected to our direction, right? And we speak about, or I speak about the North Star, which is, to me, a representation of our dreams, our passion, our purpose in life, our sole purpose. So I love that, that in astrology, you also speak about the North Node and and the direction we have in life. Could you expand on that, how we can apply that in our everyday lives as sort of a navigation for our purpose?

Molly McCord 31:25

Absolutely, yeah, the North Node is a beautiful area to understand in your own natal chart, because going back to when you were born, and there was the photograph taken of the sky, of the astrology placements, you would have a north node in your chart that signifies your soul growth in this lifetime. And so your north node is what you are moving towards, what you are welcoming, learning and developing, where your soul has agreements to basically grow in certain ways that are maybe unfamiliar, but also will advance you. So the North Node signifies more of your overall life purpose, and it's directly connected to your soul's purpose. And this can be very different than your profession, your career, what you're doing in the world. The north node can be in any area of your chart, in any house, and it shows where you want to give more focus and devotion, because this is connected to destined developments, fated events, the right people to connect with And meet what you're here and blessed to experience. So the North Node is a beautiful area of a chart to understand, and it's very personal. It's something that you can understand for yourself and have in your awareness, and then work with it intentionally, especially as the Transiting Planets activate your north node. So the North Node is beautiful to understand. There's also the collective north node. So as you and I are talking right now, Jannecke, the North Node is in Pisces, about 10 degrees, maybe nine degrees of Pisces. And that means that collectively, we are all learning to work with the Pisces energies of trusting more before we see any proof, opening up to our intuition, allowing parts of our lives to be complete and to have peace about it, to have peace with endings. Pisces brings in our spiritual principles and our spiritual perspective. And so this is a time to really tune into. How do you find comfort in the human journey that can be bumpy and messy and challenging, Pisces takes you higher. Pisces takes you into those realms of I don't have to be fully invested in the human experience all the time. I can go higher and see what I'm learning at a soul level, understand more of the wisdom of this time, wisdom from North this is, this is the North Node. So yeah, beautifully aligns with your platform and your messages and helps people understand you know what, what to believe in

Jannecke Øinæs 34:27

beautiful and what advice could you give to people when it comes to Okay, so how do I do discover more of my purpose that it's not just my profession, But something deeper.

Molly McCord 34:40

So you can find your north node on any free astrology website or app. So I always recommend astro.com because it's written and maintained by professional astrologers. So astro.com you create a free account, enter your birth details, and then you look for a. Little glyph that looks like a girl with her curls, and that's called the North Node. And you look for what sign and what house it's in, and that will tell you more about your sole purpose in this lifetime on astro.com you can also click around, and it will give you information on the site. So that's just a quick and easy way to do it. Of course, you could also connect with a professional astrologer who does personal sessions, and they could tell you more about your north node and soul growth in this lifetime.

Jannecke Øinæs 35:35

Beautiful. And what does the North Node say about your purpose?

Molly McCord 35:40

Mine, it's to be a teacher. My north node is in the ninth house of sharing messages and information out in the world. It's actually conjunct my midheaven. So it's part of my career to be teaching and giving knowledge that supports people in their lives, in their journey. Your north node is also opposite your south node. And it's important to mention that because your south node is what feels the most comfortable and the most familiar. So there's a built in tension between your south node of where you might prefer to stay, and then your north node of where you need to grow and expand. So the North Node is often a stretch for many people, in that they're developing new skills, new abilities, new traits and learning more about themselves through their North Node placement.

Jannecke Øinæs 36:36

Now this is so interesting. I love how everything is connected and how much it actually helps us understand ourselves and the universe. I had a funny question in my mind. I know that you are channeling Galactics, galactic beings, and I was wondering, are they also applying and using astrology, just in the maybe not in the same way as we're doing it, but are they also very into astrology.

Molly McCord 37:05

They are. So this is what I've learned about that is that our astrology is earth based, right? So we are here on this planet, so we're going to have a certain perspective of the astrological transits and energies, because it's based on our location, where we are. But Galactics, they have a different perspective of the timing, and they don't work within the same earth bound time space experience. So they also understand that we have our own Earth system, but they have a different viewpoint. And so sometimes, in order for them to get through to humans and to our consciousness, they have to ensure that the energetics align from where they are with where we are on earth, so they actually work with a few different systems, is how I've been shown. And they have to, again, make sure that, like the message gets through to our earthly reality, depending on what our current astrology is, does that make sense? Because they're they're in a different location, right? And so when they're on planet, because there are, of course, Galactics who are on Planet all the time, it's almost like they send a signal or energetic message and let them know, okay, yes, the field is open. It's receptive. Or conversely, no, this won't get through. It's not the right time. So a lot of advanced beings understand the power of timing, because timing is the energetics that are alive and active, and if it's not the right time, then they're not going to waste the energy. They're not going to put effort into something that isn't going to align. So they're much more advanced in how energetics work. They're much more accepting they don't have the same human will, if you will. They don't have the same human willpower. Um, I've been shown that it's more about they work with a bigger stream of consciousness that takes in more of the holistic picture, and then that's what they operate from. So they're not only using their individual sovereignty, but they're just innately connected to the bigger galactic cycles.

Jannecke Øinæs 39:06

So who are you referring to, and who are you actually channeling? And what is their main message to humanity right now,

Molly McCord 39:16

I work with a council of beings, and they rotate in different energies, and they present themselves in different ways. One of the strongest energies I connect with is someone who identifies as the commander. He has a very strong presence. He comes across as masculine in charge, but he also comes across as a collective of energies that he is representing. I also feel the energetics going to a few places in our galaxy. I connect with individuals or energies from Sirius, from the Pleiadians from Vega and Lyra. Those are the strongest for me. At times, I do feel Arcturian beings as well. So it's a it's a council, but it the energies will present themselves in a different way. And honestly, it depends on my frequency. It depends where I'm at, because if I'm really dense, or if I'm really in a human experience, then my energy won't match their frequencies. Other times, I feel the energies come through very clearly and very loudly, and it's something that I've worked with since 2008 that's when I first started channeling. And the energy has increased and has grown, gotten stronger through the years as I trust it more. And that's something that, of course, is really necessary for anyone who channels is your trusting information that you can't immediately validate. So they'll often give me little things you know to work with or monitor or trust, just to demonstrate that it's accurate information and that it's beneficial. All the energies I work with are benevolent and loving. I always have that as my intention that only those of the highest light and highest frequency can connect with me and anything else I won't, I won't connect with, I won't hear, I'll push it out of my field. So we have to be very intentional with what we allow and with what we want to interact with. That's part of our human sovereignty,

Jannecke Øinæs 41:23

and what is their message for humanity right now? What are they saying through you

Molly McCord 41:28

that they're very excited about where we're going because we have awakened faster. There's some things about humans that is beyond what was scheduled, meaning we've moved and surpassed beyond what we were tracking for. We have had some big growth spurts and that we are able to move into higher levels of consciousness more quickly. Now this is for more of a smaller group of people. This isn't no mainstream yet, but they're saying that the mainstream frequency is picking up. That's also why there's more collapses that are happening, happening rapidly. There's been an increase in what can transpire on this planet. They're also delighted that we're remaining in our power with these advanced technologies, because we are meant to be actively choosing what we want on this planet, that we are the ones who have full domain over Earth, and that we get to choose what what machines, what AI, what technologies we want on the planet. There's a lot of experiments happening in space, all around us, very active experiments, and there's been a lot happening on the moon for a very long time. And they're saying that the more we can be discerning and actively choose what we want, and they're showing me that as a consciousness like around the planet, the more that we're feeding that consciousness around the planet, the more we remain in a place of empowerment of the human experience. So I guess that's one of the main things. They just want us to remember that this is our planet, and we get to choose what we want on it, what supports us, what gives us life, what expands our hearts, and that nothing is for certain, that nothing is already determined. So stay in that place of we're creating this together.

Jannecke Øinæs 43:26

Fascinating. Were you channeling that right now?

Molly McCord 43:29

Yeah, oh, yeah, it comes in like this, like, I'm an, I'm an active channel, where it comes in and then, um, I'm like, Okay, I don't know what I just said, but it's, it happens like that very quickly. It's very effortless for me. I'm I'm already tuned in, and then I don't have to, like, meditate. It's already active, if that makes sense. That's just my technique. That's just how it works for me.

Jannecke Øinæs 43:53

Yeah, interesting. Yeah. It felt very fresh and immediate in a way. Let me ask you about this 400 year cycle that we're moving into, that you just told me before we started recording, that I haven't heard about before. And you call it the cycle, or the cycle you call the cross or the sleeping Phoenix, yes. What is that?

Molly McCord 44:18

So we've been in a 400 year cycle. And this is connected to a global cycle related to human design. And we're entering into a new 400 year cycle in 2027 which begins a whole new era on the planet. So it starts in 2027 and lasts until 2438 so lifetimes from now, and we're entering into the era of the individual, which is the cross of the sleeping Phoenix, and it's based on new collective and individual values. So right now. We're in a phase of the background frequency changing. There's a new program uploading. There's new energy rising on the planet. Again, a 400 year cycle is ending and beginning. And part of the cross of the sleeping Phoenix is that, if you think about it, the sleeping Phoenix has to awaken. So we're in an awakening cycle to activate what these new experiences are going to be. We're moving into a whole new era of being individuals on the planet, and we're moving into new values that are about knowing and following your unique energy, so the individual as a creative, sovereign being is going to start to be more important in this new cycle. That's why I mentioned it's important to trust yourself develop your intuitive and psychic abilities if you feel the call to go into business for yourself, that's absolutely supported here. This is a time where we start to live from our unique energy. We're moving away from the need to work hard for a happy life or relying on certain institutions or structures or companies to provide that life for us. We're moving away from relying upon others to do for us what we're meant to do for ourselves. We're going to have new values that focus in on, how can I take care of myself? How can I honor myself. How can I use my energy and my gifts wisely? It's it's a whole new era that's starting that we've never been in before. And so this is something that we are already seeing, we're already experiencing, but it's going to start to become more powerful as we move to 2027 so I know there's a lot going on with all the cycles happening on the planet and all the messages around those cycles, but this one is about bringing you into who you are, investing in knowing yourself and your individual energy even More. So it's like we're breaking out of the cookie cutters. We're breaking out of thinking we have to fit in in order to be useful or recognized. This is where more people are going to be ready to share their individual gifts.

Jannecke Øinæs 47:37

Sounds like a golden age to me.

Molly McCord 47:40

Yep, yep, it's gonna be big, yeah.

Jannecke Øinæs 47:43

And speaking of that, will poverty and wars disappear,

Molly McCord 47:49

I think that, you know, those are definitely some extreme experiences, and they are heartbreaking and they're difficult. I feel like as we continue to rise in our ascension, we're going to have more solutions, and the energy on the planet, I feel in some areas, is going to change where we won't accept it, where we won't contribute, or we don't want it. It's almost like I see it as being shut down, where we don't want long ongoing wars in general, or we're going to have new systems in place that support more people at the poverty level, or who have basic needs and they need support of some kind, whatever that may be. I feel like we have the potential to be more supportive of each other and to address these issues from a more compassionate place. I'm also seeing it as there's going to be a change in what we expect from those who have extreme wealth, or those who have a lot of resources like we're going to start to see a shift, almost like they have pressure to now deal with some of these issues that they thought they didn't have to address. But I'm talking about, like, real on the ground solutions, not just tax write offs. I see it as, like, no real, tangible solutions are going to be coming through. I'm seeing it as a five year span, hopefully sooner. But again, this is part of the frequency on the planet changing where there's things we just don't want humans to experience on an ongoing basis. We want solutions from those in charge, and we want new contributions interesting.

Jannecke Øinæs 49:38

What is the most important question we can ask ourselves at these times,

Molly McCord 49:44

I feel it comes into knowing your purpose and mission in this life. And I'm sure you haven't heard that before. You probably heard that a lot, but I mean knowing your astrology chart, knowing your human design, knowing your. Unique energy and living it, embodying it, it's going to move you into new experiences of yourself and of your life. It's going to put you into a very unique frequency that's needed. Because what we need, especially as we move further into the Age of Aquarius is that we need more people who are embodying their unique energy and their creative gifts, and that's exactly where you then come alive. That's where your manifestations happen. That's where life gets better. That's where you feel that you really belong and you fit in here on the planet. So I would say it's about investing in knowing your energy and living it, actively living it, practicing it, playing with it, embodying it. And that's where you're going to feel that the universe brings in some really cool developments. I say that because I first learned about my human design back in 2014 and I wasn't ready for it. I didn't understand it. I was really confused by it, but I actually started living it in 2017 and it started to change my life. Everything started to improve with my work, my self knowingness, my abilities, everything. So I say this because I've been doing it since 2017 and I can see how it operates and how it supports us. So basically, you can do this for free. Human Design information is available and free all over the internet, but just know that this is a way to invest in yourself in ways that matter, especially with these new cycles we're moving towards.

Jannecke Øinæs 51:50

This has been so inspiring. Molly. Thank you so much. And I have a few questions that I ask everyone, and my first question is, what is self love to you?

Molly McCord 51:59

Oh, I feel that self love is that beautiful, soothing self acceptance that you pour into yourself regularly and often, that is actually connected, at least, I think, to your spiritual team and to your higher self. And I feel that self love can be anything from, you know, a daily meditation to a walk with your soul, but it's something that you give yourself, and that I feel should be a priority, because we all need more self love at this time. It's very grounding and it's centering,

Jannecke Øinæs 52:36

I believe so as well. And what is the deeper meaning of life from your perspective.

Molly McCord 52:43

Oh, I think it's to create and play and feel gratitude for the physical world, to be grateful for the earth and nature. I think it's also to do some beautiful healing work and to focus on what brings us joy, and we know that doesn't happen every day. You know, we have bills, we have tough challenges, we have things that are really, you know, big deals in our lives. But I feel like it's coming back to, what do I want to intentionally create in this life? And I feel like that's, that's one of the best things we can focus on.

Jannecke Øinæs 53:22

Powerful and Molly, if people want to dive deeper into your teachings and astrology in general, and are inspired to do so now, I know we have a few courses, and I'll put the links down below in the show notes. Could you share a little bit about them? Yes.

Molly McCord 53:38

Well, one that people might really enjoy that you and I talked about is the one related to your universal spiritual laws and your astrology chart. This is an excellent beginner course. You don't have to know all about astrology, but you're going to get a lot from this course. It's called your cosmic codes and how the universal spiritual laws show up in your chart, and it can be just a very cool way to understand more about your energetics in this lifetime. There's also a program that focuses on the 2026 astrology, where I go through the big Astrology of this year and then how it shows up in your chart. This is more advanced, or, I should say it's more intermediate. You have to know the four basics of astrology already. So you'd have to know your chart. But this is about the Transiting Planets of 2026 and what's coming up for you with mercury, Retrogrades, eclipses, Jupiter, moving into Leo, all kinds of stuff happening here in 2026 this is basically your guide for how the energies are going to show up for you. So I want to offer that in case anybody is ready to go into their own chart and understand what's going on this year.

Jannecke Øinæs 54:56

Wonderful. Thank you so much, Molly. It was beautiful to see. You again.

Molly McCord 54:59

Jannecke Øinæs 55:09
