This is my last post for this so-called year 2025… if we are even calling it 2025 at all, because in this world it’s worth questioning everything. After all, we know that calendars have been changed multiple times since the beginning of human timekeeping, and I am certain that our history is full of holes.
Regardless of the year or the calendar, this year was not an easy one. Whether you wanted it or not, change happened — from the outside or from within. It was a time of lessons, aha moments, realizations, transformation, closures, shedding an old life and an old self — a molting period. According to the Chinese, it was the Year of the Snake.
Every ending is followed by a new beginning, just as nature follows its own cycles, life its own rhythm. And since we are part of life, these cycles inevitably appear in our own human lives as well. Think about who you were, what you were like, and where you were years ago — and where you stand now. How much you have experienced on life’s roller coaster, and yet you are still here. Probably battered by storms, like most of us, but you are healing, moving forward on your path, and finally beginning to reclaim your power, to get to know your true self.
Because whatever happens outside or inside, it is all designed to guide you back to who you truly are — to your soul — and to help you realize that you are more than your mind, more than the character you are currently playing. Of course, it is incredibly painful when things don’t work out: when your plans and goals don’t come true, when you are rejected, abandoned, treated unjustly, hurt by words or actions, or when something or someone comes to an end. But there is always more ahead. There is always a next moment. And the sun rises every single blessed day — even when clouds hide it for weeks.
Know that you are never alone. What you feel, what you have been through in this earthly life — the pain, the traumas — is valid, and you are justified in feeling what you feel. Just don’t suppress it. Sit with it in silence, because it teaches you. Life’s highs and lows all shape you, guiding you to realize that you are more than these things — more than your traumas, more than your body, your mind, your emotions.
What they “predict” for the coming year is dynamism and momentum — like a fiery horse: wild, daring, courageous, action-driven, and free. Saturn is finally entering a new cycle, and once again I feel that the energies of the ’90s will return — but cleaner, without compromises. Mother Gaia is also cleansing and changing, and with her, all living beings. It is still worth paying attention to the behavior of animals, as they are more deeply connected to her and sense changes in nature sooner than we do.
Our perception of time is once again shifting, and we will increasingly experience time in a liquid form — something that is not constant and not synchronized with measured time. How often have you felt days being ahead or behind, as if time stopped or suddenly rushed forward? For me, this year felt like January, summer, November, and December — as if I lived several years within this single year. The 365 days felt more like 2,000 days. And I’m not talking about events, but about how much more energy is flowing through us than before. “Time” has accelerated, and we can barely remember what happened last week, last month, or even one or two years ago, because it feels so long ago.
And the more present we are in the now — rather than living on autopilot, stuck in the past or the future — the more irrelevant the past and the future become, because you are here, in the present moment. This doesn’t mean you don’t plan for the future or set things aside for your needs; it means you truly live the now.
A little update about me…
Those who read my previous post know that we ran into some car trouble, but thank God it has been resolved. Throughout the whole process, I felt guided, and in the end everything came together perfectly. I’m writing this in case someone notices a pattern or a sign — and if someone is searching, feeling discouraged by rejection or frightened by small, strange coincidences, maybe this can give them strength and a new perspective.
In our case, we had very specific criteria for the car we wanted: a maximum price range, preferred brands and models, a minimum year, a maximum mileage, color, good maintenance, and of course buying from a car dealer who offers a warranty and credit payment options. Especially since one bank had already rejected us, and the bank where we hold our account hadn’t responded for weeks — so we were really hoping for this to work out… or, of course, for a lottery win.
When we found one car and planned to go see it, the listing suddenly disappeared. That became my motto: if an advertisement disappears, it’s not ours. We then found another car nearby — everything about it seemed right — and one Sunday we spontaneously went to see it. The advertisement didn’t mention a single word about a huge crack in the windshield, which would clearly need replacing. We thought maybe they’d lower the price or offer some kind of solution. Meanwhile, we had several other cars saved as backup options.
On Monday, we called the agent for that car, but he didn’t pick up. So we contacted another agent — from the same dealership — about a different option and scheduled an appointment for Saturday. The first agent eventually called back, but my partner couldn’t answer at the time. Later, the listing for the first car disappeared.
Some stress crept in on Thursday when the agent called regarding the Saturday appointment, saying there were other interested buyers and that he would keep us informed. On Friday, he called again to confirm our appointment, apologizing for forgetting to call the day before.
We went on Saturday at 8 a.m. and completely fell in love with the car — although we had to be flexible about the color and brand. It was white, and my partner hadn’t really wanted that. The agent was fast, already calculating the installment plan, and soon he was preparing the paperwork. Everything happened so quickly.
It turned out that the previous interested buyer wanted to buy the car for his daughter, but she was only available from 10 a.m. on Saturday. Since we were the first ones there, the car was reserved for us. Also interesting that the car advertisement started when we started to search a car, (the previous owner gave back the car 2 weeks before) wow what a coincidence. Because the car didn’t have winter tires, the agent was very flexible and offered a deal that worked well for both of us.
The following days were filled with hope while waiting to see if the bank would approve us — and then came the positive confirmation: yes, we were approved, with a six-year payment plan. Since the agent was quite busy, we could only pick up the car a week later — but it happened to be exactly when my partner was on vacation, and right before we were about to travel to Hungary to visit my parents.
I was honestly amazed by how perfectly everything aligned timing-wise. But for that to happen, we had to let go of a few fixed ideas — like color or brand — because the most important thing was having a reliable car that wouldn’t cause us trouble for a while.

My birthday was wonderful, spent surrounded by family. I am now officially 40 years old physically — spiritually, I fluctuate somewhere between a little girl and an ancient grandmother. I treated myself to six new cross-stitch kits, and I also bought a diamond painting kit to try out. Of course, I chose one with cats.

On the first weekend of December, we visited Wachau and the Dürnstein Christmas Market, which is only open on weekends and requires an entrance fee. Wachau is a stunning valley along the Danube River between Krems and Melk, a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its vineyards, apricots, medieval castle ruins, and monasteries. The weather was gloomy and foggy, but the landscape was still incredibly beautiful. Since I didn’t take photos along the way, I’ll share a few images here from the internet.
Dürnstein is a tiny yet historic town in Wachau on the left bank of the Danube. It is known for its castle ruins perched high on the rock (where Richard the Lionheart was once imprisoned), its blue-and-white Baroque abbey church, and its narrow cobblestone streets.
The entire town was dressed in festive lights and hosted many small Christmas markets.

The most famous attraction was a festively decorated ship that could be freely visited, with many vendors selling their goods inside. There were plenty of tourists from all over Austria, and everything was well organized.

Before Christmas, we traveled to Salzburg, as it is one of our favorite city and is also famous for its Christmas market. Unfortunately, Austria had been under gloomy, foggy weather for weeks, with no sunshine at all — but on that particular day in Salzburg, the sky was clear blue, the sun was shining, and the weather was wonderful. The entire trip was spontaneous: we wandered through the city without a plan, found everything we were looking for almost by chance, and even discovered places we hadn’t seen before. We walked a lot, enjoyed the beautiful Christmas market, ate, drank, and admired the festive lights.

I had wanted to visit Untersberg for quite some time — especially since Cobra once wrote about it — and on this trip, my wish came true. I was a bit ignorant at first, as I didn’t know which mountain it was, but my eyes found it immediately, and I couldn’t stop looking at it.
Untersberg lies on the border between Austria (near Salzburg) and Germany (Berchtesgaden). Its highest peaks are the Salzburger Hochthron (1,853 m) and the Berchtesgadener Hochthron (1,972 m).
At the top, we were greeted by snow and a breathtaking panorama. Unfortunately, I have a fear of heights, and without railings it felt even more intense. Still, I stood at a safe spot, with a small hill behind me, and immersed myself in the beauty of the winter landscape above and the panorama below. I wasn’t very brave, but I decided that if the others dared to walk farther ahead on the slippery snow, I would try too, just to see the mountain’s other panorama. However, once I got there, panic set in — I was suddenly surrounded by depth on both sides, and it became too much.

It was possible to go even higher, up to the cross, but I chose not to. Even as it was, I was gripping my partner’s hand tightly. There was a café-restaurant at the top; we sat outside, and I slowly sipped a coffee while my eyes got lost in the view. I would have loved to sit there for hours in the cold, just being — but we had to head home, as my cat and my “mother-in-law” were already waiting for us.

Cobra made a workshop this year in Berchtesgaden (Germany) / Notes:https://german-cobra-posts.welovemassmeditation.com/2025/11/notes-on-cobras-templar-workshop-in.html /, and I had the chance to visit it last year - Königssee. It has stayed in my heart ever since. I even wrote a post about it with photos.
The truth is, the energies there felt incredibly good to me, and I long to return. I haven’t felt as mentally and spiritually peaceful and calm in a very long time as I did there. It’s only about 25 km from Salzburg. While Salzburg and its surroundings have vibrant, almost “Renaissance-like” feminine energies that feel uplifting, the Bavarian Alps carried a deep sense of calm and peace.
I truly love the sight of mountains and looking down from above — but I also respect them deeply and I only go there with who I trust and feel safe… I suppose I may have fallen from great heights more than once in previous lives as drowning in water too....

I wish everyone a very happy New Year, and I hope all your wishes and dreams come true.
May the new year bring abundance, happiness, and health — and breakthroughs on the physical plane as well.
Thank you for reading all the way through, and as a closing to this post, here is the music which nowadays I listen at - chillout and enigma style music...so calming and yet empowering energy in it. 🎶✨
