Focus: Career/Life Path and New Ways Forward

Card of the Month: The Wise Ones

King of the Month: Capricorn

Element: Earth

Mode: Cardinal

Ruling Planet: Saturn

HIGHLIGHTS: Divine Alignment + Power Plans, Mercury and Uranus Direct, Pluto Enters Aquarius

Happy New Year! Now what are you doing with your life? That’s all Capricorn wants to know. This energy is direct and holds no punches. Consider yourself fortunate to be able to connect with such determined energy. If opportunity arises, this sign will not tolerate loss. This sign is all about getting things done, with a clear strategy that puts YOU on top! If you think this sounds selfish, take a moment and consider who else is supposed to put your first. That’s the beauty of this sign; it encourages you to be your number one supporter. So, it’s time to step up, putting your best foot forward. Capricorn wouldn’t have it any other way! Just remember not to abuse your alliances. Burnt bridges can’t be crossed.

The ruling planet, Saturn, is all about structure. There is no room for nonsense, so stop talking about what you want to do and start taking action! This energy is resourceful and doesn’t hold “can’t” in its vocabulary. So anywhere you may be thinking, “I will try”, know that Capricorn is standing firmly behind you saying, “you will do, because YOU can!” The only way you can make an impact in the world, or in your own life, is by showing up and making use of your gifts and talents. If you don’t know how or where to start, allow this energy to inspire good old fashion research. As far as this month is concerned, nothing beats a failure but a try. Now, Capricorn doesn’t suggest being willy-nilly; the key here is efficiency. Get your ducks in a row before shooting blindly at nothingness. Under this sign, the only point of focus is SUCCESS. No matter what you want to accomplish, Capricorn say’s “If you’re going to do it, do it well. And if you fall, pick yourself up by the bootstraps and execute better next time.”

The Capricornian Gift: May you honor the gifts of your life and abilities, showing each rising sun why you have arrived with the breath of divine spirit flowing through your veins. May you lend a hand to those less fortunate, teaching a man how to fish, strengthening the community we build together; individual, but equal to one.

Global Yoga

Hello, Alchemist!

One of the things I love most about Reiki is that it’s practiced globally, uniting many of us in an awareness of ONE, that may have been overlooked otherwise. On this episode, you’ll hear about the journey and experience with yoga that brought Lilly Allen-Duenas into the same awe and understanding of ONE. She also learned a lot about of differences, and the beauty within that, as she learned and taught yoga in several different countries.

Lily is a holistic healer, Reiki Master, vegan nutritionist, and meditation instructor. Her work is focused on conscious collaboration, compassion, connection, and community. She’s also an international yoga teacher, founder of the Wild Yoga Tribe, and host of the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. Lily has taught yoga classes and workshops in surf hostels in Sri Lanka, hotels in Bali, and wellness centers in the Philippines. Through her podcast, and all of her endeavors, she strives to serve her community in a way that is accessible, authentic, and inclusive.

Soul Medicine and Modern Magic

Happy Monday, Alchemist…

Get ready for some past life, ancestral, self-care focused, soul therapy! On today’s episode, I sat down with Athena, The Seaside Shaman, to discuss soul medicine and modern magic. Athena Monet is an author, gifted intuitive healer, and spiritual guide. Born into a lineage of remarkable women, Athena inherited the extraordinary gifts of clairvoyance and clairsentience from her family.

When she experienced the devastating loss of her beloved mother, Athena's pain manifested into mysterious illnesses and chronic gastrointestinal distress, leaving her searching for answers and relief. A friend recommended that Athena seek the guidance of the local Medicine Woman. Little did she know that this encounter would bring about miraculous healing and transform her life forever. The profound experience with her shaman marked a turning point, granting Athena permission to embrace her true self, fully, and to courageously share the ancestral gifts that had coursed through her bloodline for generations.

Are You the Apple or the Tree?

I had this insight while I was driving, and posted it on Facebook in May 2017. I was wondering about why and how we are changing. The information that I received came through as a partial image, partial message. I saw an apple tree with an abundance of apples. Some were still hanging from the branches and some had fallen to the ground. I got the sense that the tree was symbolic of Source and we were the apples.

The next image I saw was of the apples on the ground beginning to change. Some were rotting and others were cracking open. I had to sit with that image for a moment before it started to click…

The apples that were cracking open revealed their seeds. The seeds were symbolic of the soul. Once that understanding hit me, the next message was clear – if an apple were to acknowledge its own seed, it would also become aware of its ability to plant its seeds, reconnecting with earth, only to become an expression of the tree! The apple has the potential, inherently, to recognize that it is an expression of the Source it came from. The apple IS the tree, and it will realize itself when it allows itself to CRACK OPEN, look within and do the work of reconnecting to its own Source.

What does this say about you?

Exactly! And as you can tell, this not only fascinates me, but it excites me. This is exactly why I have dedicated myself to this work and helping YOU realize that you are the apple AND the tree. Are you ready?

The shift is happening for all of us and the best we can do is NOT resist our change, but learn how to navigate it all with more awareness and understanding. I truly hope you’ll join me in this journey – I can hardly wait to share more with you in the upcoming class! Click to join me in the exploration of you and your awakening

I send you so much love,

Yolanda
