May her cubs survive and thrive. Rest in peace mama lion.

Sad news from the California Carnivore Program. 😢 🐾 😢 It’s not easy to be a lion.
“We are deeply saddened to share that mountain lion F390, one of the collared lions in our study, was recently killed by a vehicle strike on Highway 74 (Ortega).
At just 3 years old, F390 was raising her first litter: a male and a female, now about 14 months old. She had successfully crossed this busy highway many times before, but this time, traffic proved fatal. In only a few more months, she would have guided her young to leave her care and be independent.
Her loss is a stark reminder of the risks carnivores face as their habitats overlap with our roads and communities. We will continue to monitor her offspring and share updates as we learn more.”

On September 9th, 2025, the 9:9:9 portal opens, carrying an energy that only arrives once every nine years and always signals completion and release.

This alignment merges the ninth month, the ninth day, and a universal year that reduces to nine through 2+0+2+5, creating a trinity of nines that forms one of the most powerful numerology sequences of this decade.

The last time this cosmic pattern appeared was September 9th, 2016, and the next will not rise until September 9th, 2034, which shows the rare weight of this exact vibration. Every cycle of nine marks closure, but when it repeats three times, it brings karmic endings and transformation that cannot be delayed or softened.

The number nine has always been called the number of completion because it holds the wisdom of every stage that came before it, from the beginnings of one through the mastery of eight. In mathematics, nine always returns to itself, no matter how far you multiply or reduce it, which is why it symbolizes closure, cycles, and inevitable endings.

This alignment works like a mirror reflecting the last nine years of your life with unshakable clarity, showing the choices you made, the relationships you invested in, the habits you repeated, and the patterns that shaped your story. It asks you to decide what belongs in your next chapter and what has already reached its ending point.

You may feel drawn to release things that once felt safe but now weigh you down, such as contacts, conversations, or memories that no longer carry life. Habits that once numbed discomfort may suddenly feel unbearable, and behaviors that once seemed harmless now appear draining and impossible to continue.

Relationships often rise to the surface during this alignment, because romantic partnerships reveal their true nature without filters or illusions. If you have carried another person’s weight for years, accepted half-effort love, or endured endless cycles of highs followed by crushing lows, this portal will make the truth undeniable.

The drama that once hooked you may now feel exhausting, and the promises that never became action may finally feel empty, pushing you to see that the relationship already served its lesson. Holding on longer would only block the growth, peace, and love waiting for you beyond it.

Friendships also fall under review because this energy highlights exactly how people around you impact your spirit and future. The friend who criticizes your choices, competes with your wins, or constantly takes without ever showing equal care will stand out with full clarity. Gossip, jealousy, and one-sided loyalty become impossible to overlook.

Although releasing friendships may sting in the short term, the 9:9:9 portal clears space for genuine connections that uplift and support you without condition or hidden agendas. Your soul is always asking for alignment, and this cycle makes sure you answer that call.

Family dynamics may also show patterns that have remained hidden under layers of loyalty and history, such as conditional love, manipulation, criticism, or control. These behaviors may feel heavier than ever, pushing you to set boundaries that honor your well-being, even if those decisions bring discomfort at first.

The mirror of this portal also turns inward, asking you to look closely at the habits and coping strategies that shaped the last nine years. Procrastination, negative self-talk, avoidance, or reckless spending may appear more clearly, showing you how much energy they have drained from your path.

These habits may have once helped you survive difficult seasons, but under this alignment they feel too heavy to carry forward. The portal pushes you to release them, because renewal cannot arrive when outdated cycles still weigh you down.

Signs often appear before the date itself, such as seeing 9:9 on clocks or receipts, dreaming of old relationships, or suddenly remembering events from the past that still carry lessons. Intuition sharpens during this cycle, and guidance comes faster when you choose to listen.

This portal also influences careers and finances by shining a light on roles, jobs, or patterns that no longer align with your growth. Work that once felt acceptable may now feel suffocating if your skills are underused or your effort goes unseen.

Some people may experience endings such as layoffs, resignations, or sudden closures, while others feel an undeniable pull toward new directions like training, building a business, or searching for roles that match their real abilities.

The message is clear: what no longer supports growth will close, while space opens for work that reflects who you are becoming.

The fear of releasing stability can feel heavy, but the reward of alignment always brings more opportunities, healthier environments, and greater purpose. Every ending clears a path toward new blessings that match the person you are today.

The heart often clings to what is familiar, even when that familiarity no longer carries growth or peace, which is why letting go may stir sadness or grief. Yet endings are also invitations into beginnings that hold far more fulfilment than what has already ended.

Gratitude softens this process, turning painful endings into lessons and strength. By thanking the people, situations, and experiences that shaped you, even the hard ones, you prepare yourself for blessings that could not have arrived without those chapters closing first.

The phrase “enough is enough” carries sacred power within this portal, because the moment you speak it with conviction, you signal to the Universe that you are ready for renewal. Every release clears the way for deeper love, greater opportunities, and alignment that supports your growth.

The September 9th, 2025 portal is a karmic checkpoint that closes the last nine years and prepares you for the next. It reflects the person you have been, while asking who you are ready to become.

By stepping through, you graduate from old karmic cycles and step into a future filled with the freedom, clarity, and blessings you have been waiting to claim.

I just left my public comment – you should too. It’s the only thing standing between 58 million acres of wild forest and the bulldozers.

The Forest Service just opened the comment period to dismantle the Roadless Rule. For 25 years, it has kept chainsaws, drilling rigs, and logging roads out of the last intact national forests.

Roadless protections are why grizzlies still move through mountain corridors. Why salmon still run cold Alaskan streams. Why towns across the Rockies still drink clean water from protected headwaters.

Take those protections away and the roads roll in. Roads bring poaching, erosion, fire risk, and industrial logging. Once the cut is made, it’s permanent.

Every comment builds the legal case to stop this. Make yours count.

Leave a comment. Then share this so more people know the forests are at risk. ( author: Will Patiz )

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is initiating an environmental impact statement (EIS) and rulemaking concerning management of inventoried roadless areas on approximately 44.7 million acres of National Forest System lands, including in Alaska. The proposed rule would rescind the 2001 Roadless...

Scientists at Oxford University, working with partners in the UK and Denmark, engineered yeast using CRISPR to produce six essential sterols found in natural pollen, creating a superfood that boosted honey bee colony growth 15-fold compared to standard synthetic diets — a breakthrough that could strengthen hive resilience and secure future fruit and nut production amid declining wildflower availability.

"There was a time, the myths tell us, when the link between animals, humans, and the land was fluid, magical. The perception of community would extend out, both into the landscape and through the stories seeping up from the burial grounds of your ancestors. The swift raven, the sharpened axe, the soft hairs on a mouse's belly, all were interconnected if you looked long enough. The anchors of story, ceremony and hard living kept you held in this awareness."

About the Painting:
The painting is based on the allegorical poem, The Faerie Queene, an English epic poem first published in 1590 by Edmund Spenser. The poem may be read as an allegorical reference to Queen Elizabeth I, praising her beauty, courage and power, and acknowledging her ability to control her country and Empire. The poem and painting present powerful images of virtue overcoming adversity.
