Welcome to Annalist Season: Start the Year with Purpose and Precision

New Year, New You...


As we step into a new calendar year, we’re also entering Annalist Season—the energetic phase known in the Starchetype System as The Origin. From January 1 through January 12, the cosmic frequency of Organizing is amplified, making this the perfect time to reflect, set intentions, and commit to lasting change.

The Annalist Illumination Phase resonates deeply with the collective energy of New Year’s resolutions, but it goes beyond surface-level goal-setting. This phase invites all of us to tap into the macrocosmic vigor of Organizing—the metaphysical gift of bringing structure, clarity, and purpose to our lives.

Whether or not you carry the Annalist Starchetype as your core imprint, this is a time to embrace their energetic strengths and use them to set yourself up for success in the months ahead.

What is The Origin?


The Origin, which is the Annalist’s Illumination Phase occurirng annually on the 1/1 portal, is a time of beginnings and foundations. In the Starchetype System, the Annalist holds domain over the number 1 and represents the Origin of our shared Starseed lineages - where all cosmic journeys start. The Annalist energy asks us to pause, reflect, and create a clear blueprint for what we want to achieve.

During this season, the macrocosmic vigor of Organizing is available to everyone. It’s about more than tidying up your space—it’s about creating energetic alignment with your goals and ensuring that your daily actions reflect your higher intentions​​.

If you’ve ever struggled to stick with a resolution or make real progress on a goal, now is the time to work with the energy of The Origin. By bringing clarity and structure to your vision, you can transform lofty intentions into actionable, sustainable steps.

Annalist energy reminds us the best time to start is now!

Harnessing the Power of Organizing (Even If You’re Not an Annalist)


Even if you don’t have the Annalist as your core Starchetype, you can still benefit from leaning into this macrocosmic vigor during its peak phase. Here’s how you can make the most of this potent energy:

  1. Audit Your Life: Take time to reflect on what’s working—and what’s not. Where are you spending your energy? Are your actions aligned with your long-term goals? The Annalist teaches us that clarity begins with an honest evaluation.
  2. Break Down Your Goals: The Annalist excels at turning big ideas into achievable steps. Instead of overwhelming yourself with a long list of resolutions, focus on small, consistent actions that build momentum over time.
  3. Commit to Accountability: Annalists thrive in Tribunal-style support systems, where shared goals and collaboration create accountability. Whether it’s a partner, friend, or group, find someone to hold space for your progress and celebrate your wins.

Why Now? The Cosmic Significance of Annalist Season


The timing of this shift in our collective energetic focus is no coincidence. As the first Illumination Phase of the year, Annalist Season sets the tone for everything that follows. It’s a time to tap into the cosmic blueprint of your life and commit to aligning your physical actions with your higher self.

The Annalist teaches us that true transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It requires methodical planning, patience, and persistence. The energy of Organizing helps us make sense of chaos, bringing clarity and calm to what might otherwise feel overwhelming.

Think of this phase as the foundation of a house. You wouldn’t start decorating before the walls are built, and you wouldn’t begin the year without first setting a strong energetic structure. The Annalist’s macrocosmic vigor of Organizing ensures that you have a solid framework to build upon.

Annalist Wisdom: “Begin as You Mean to Go On”

There’s a saying often associated with this time of year: “Begin as you mean to go on.” This perfectly encapsulates the energy of Annalist Season.

Rather than making impulsive resolutions or changes that won’t stick, take time to plan your approach. The Annalist teaches that sustainable progress is built through thoughtful action, not quick fixes.

Here’s how you can embody this wisdom during the Annalist Illumination Phase:

✨Create a Ritual of Reflection: Set aside time to reflect on your goals. Light a candle, journal your intentions, and get clear on what you want to bring into your life this year.
✨Use a Planner or Tracker: The Annalist thrives on systems. Use a tool that resonates with you to keep track of your progress. Whether it’s digital or analog, the act of tracking your goals keeps you accountable.
✨Focus on Long-Term Impact: Ask yourself, “Will this action serve my future self?” The Annalist reminds us that the actions we take today create the reality we live tomorrow.

Embrace the Energy of The Origin


During this phase, you are supported in creating energetic structure in your life. Whether it’s cleaning out your space, organizing your schedule, or making a commitment to a new routine, remember that clarity brings freedom.

By aligning yourself with the energy of The Origin, you’re setting yourself up for success not just in January, but throughout the entire year.

So, take a breath. Set your intentions. And step into Annalist Season with clarity, purpose, and determination.
