Energy of May, 2024 | Values and Communication

May 2024: Values and Communication

Focus: Finances and Comforts

King of the Month: Taurus

Element: Earth

Mode: Fixed

Ruling Planet: Venus

HIGHLIGHTS: Beltane, Pluto Retrograde, Jupiter Enters Gemini

 

Are you starting to reel it back in? Perhaps you are taking it easy, making sure you have solid footing before moving forward. Well, it’s nice to slow down sometimes and plan before acting. Taurus wants you to feel safe and comfortable in your process of…everything!

The earth aspect of Taurus keeps this energy grounded and practical, which may bring your attention towards finances and investment planning. And of course it would, Taurus loves nice things; all things beautiful, just remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Taurus doesn’t like an empty wallet. Seek to satisfy your heart, not to compete with the Jones’. For all you know, the Jones’ may be struggling to keep up with themselves. Consider what makes sense for you before emptying your pockets.

The planetary influence, Venus, also entices you with beauty; whether it’s the arts, material things or the comforts of home, all roads will leave you hopelessly surrendering to the nurturing pizzazz of the bull. Now, what you can learn from this sign is that hard work, with your eye on the prize, results in reward. The key will be to determine what you want to work hard at and what you would like your reward to be. Again, consider what matters to YOU. Perhaps you want to nurture your relationship, your career…or your spirit. Taurus wants to spoil you with all of life’s riches: financial, mental, physical and spiritual.

Taurus also reminds you that holding a red cape doesn’t mean you’re in control, nor does it mean you will win the fight. If conflict should arise and you feel an urge to hold your ground, consider the source of your stubbornness. Are you acting from ego or standing firm in a space of love? It can be easy to confuse the two, but love knows that your POWER doesn’t come from your push, it comes from what you know/believe to be true. Be honest about your motivation and feelings when you refuse to budge.

Gift From Taurus: May you feel safe and nurtured by the fruitfulness of mother earth and the divine spirit that guides your physical vessel. May you love so deeply that you feel supported and grounded in the partnerships that act as mirrors, showing you that you exist in all. May you come to know your ability to create without restriction, enjoying all of life’s comforts, with passion and a deep sense of stability.

Energy of April 2024 | Activation, Transformation and Stability

April 2024: Activation and Stability

Focus: Bold Action, Self-Focus and Values

King of the Month: Aries

Element: Fire

Mode: Cardinal

Ruling Planet: Mars

HIGHLIGHTS: Mercury Retrograde, and Total Solar Eclipse

Register for the Reiki Retreat Intensive, in San Diego, September 2024!

Whether you’re full of joyous laughter, or pouting because no one wants to play by your rules, you are causing some form of ruckus. Hello Aries. This energy is full of child-like excitement, with the temperament of a child who is spoiled. Either way it goes, your feelings or intentions will not go unnoticed. If you find yourself making a lot of noise, this is a reminder that silence, too, is golden. We often get more out of observation and listening before inserting our objectives.

Being ruled by Mars only adds fuel to the fire, but the flames aren’t always meant to burn. This energy can be channeled to heighten your drive and determination. You may feel encouraged to take bold action, distinguishing yourself from the crowd. The key will be to recognize if you’re ramming forward with assertiveness or aggression. There is a difference: play nice and be mindful of your arrangement of words.

Aries is also up for any challenge. If you have a goal in mind, but there is an obstacle in view, this energy will support you in finding a solution. And if you have ever considered taking a role in leadership, allow this energy to teach you how it’s done! While Aries can be a lot to digest (it’s hard to swallow what you can’t catch), this sign knows how to lead with authority and will inspire greatness from all whom follow. The key word here is inspire: this can be done respectfully; not all who lead have done so through fear. Ask a Libra to explain how to catch more flies with honey…because Aries isn’t here for that.

If you have a tendency to be extreme, don’t let this energy take you over the edge. Aries doesn’t do anything with subtlety. It can be okay to jump, but be mindful of your landing, while considering what you may be jumping in to. Yes, Aries will take the time to do the research, but once they have decided, it’s all or nothing. Remember, there’s balance in all things.

Gift From Aries: May you be bold in your stance, impervious to ideals that are not aligned with your vision and purpose, moving blissfully past the grips of contentment. May you have the gall to believe in yourself, first and foremost, understanding that you must be the leader of your own destination and cause. May you laugh, uproariously, shaking and dismantling any obstruction of truth.

Energy of March 2024 | Dreams and Actions

March 2024: Dreams and Action (Expanded Vision)

Focus: Spirituality and New Beginnings

King of the Month: Pisces

Element: Water

Mode: Mutable

Ruling Planet: Jupiter / Neptune

HIGHLIGHTS: Spring Equinox, International Astrology Day

 

Isn’t life magical? When you allow yourself to flow beyond limitation and delve deep into the sea of Piscean imagination, you create from a space of dream-like wonder. It’s romantic and whimsical, supporting your ability to adapt and merge with the ever-changing tides of what is seen…and unseen. Be careful not to dance too closely with delusion.

The sign of the fish, swimming in a circular pattern, creates a vortex of heightened awareness, pulling you out of perceived reality and into the realms of higher-consciousness. If you tune in, you will recognize your psychic vision with more clarity. This will help you discern what is true.

What would it take for you to lose all illusions of separation? Neptune rules Pisces, which is the planet of mysticism and transcendence. Connect with this energy and you will soon find that reality is the dream, and the dream has always been reality. A word of caution: the lines become blurred and uncomfortable unless you can take this energy for what it is; pure magic.

If you find yourself caught in indecision, be sure to check in with the flow of your emotions. What do you feel and how is this influencing your perspective? Are you swimming in logic or feeling…and can you find the balance in between? Pisces is adaptable, but this energy can cause confusion and tension when there is a forceful push to be definitive before the stream of emotions have settled.

 

The Piscean Gift: May you come to realize that magic is not magic at all; it is merely what you have yet to understand, and the Universe is full of the unknown, waiting to feed your curiosity. May you be so full of compassion, acknowledging your empathic nature, that you KNOW you are one with all in existence…and that the real magic is, and has always been, you.

 

Events of the Month...

 

Alchemist of the Month:

  • March 10th: New Moon in Pisces - infinite possibility

 

Sun Enters Aries, International Astrology Day AND Spring Equinox:

  • March 19th: spark of new life, renewal, illumination

 

Spring Equinox/Renewal: As you begin to realize what is no longer true for you, and begin to align with deeper understanding of who and what you are, you may feel an urge to release. Yes, you can call it “spring-cleaning”, but its more of an expansion of light. Feel your radiance as you let it go and let it flow, renewing your ways of being.

 

Queen of the Month:

  • March 25th: Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse, in Libra - balance between self and others

 

Upcoming Classes:

·      March 9th: LIVE Mastermind for students of Spiritual Business Development

How Relationship to Decision Impacts Your Energy

Happy Wednesday, Alchemist!

Today is a unique episode, in that you will hear some of what was shared in a recent bonus class I taught this week. It’s about how your relationship to decision making impacts your flow, or stuckness, energetically.

We will explore how you’re making decisions for yourself, as well as the impact of trying to be the decision maker for everyone else in your life. And while usually well intended, how may wanting to protect or control come into conflict with aspects of empowerment?

There’s a lot to chew on and consider, all to support us in the layers of energetic alchemy!

Energy of January 2024 | Restructure and Innovation

January 2024: Restructure and Innovate

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
