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...

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

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

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

Energy of Feburary 2024 | Individuality Within Community

,

February 2024: Community and New Expressions

Focus: Groups and Destroying “The Box”

King of the Month: Aquarius

Element: Air

Mode: Fixed

Ruling Planet: Saturn / Uranus

HIGHLIGHTS: Black History Month, Lunar New Year (Wood Dragon), Emphasis on Individuality within Community


Okay, so last month was very you-centric, but life is all about balance, so now it’s time to spread your wings and broaden your scope. Aquarius encourages you to look far beyond yourself and consider how to create inclusion, harmony and equality.

Of course this could be a charitable endeavor, but you can use this energy in a multitude of ways. What inspires you? What matters to you? How can you make this world a better place? The key will be to think out of the box, or better yet, destroy any boxes you’ve ever created!

With so much inspiration and enthusiasm circulating through your field of consciousness, don’t lose sight of the people closest to you and your responsibilities. The best visionaries have the wisdom of knowing what’s right in front of them, presently, as the future itself. Be mindful of what you are pouring energy into today, and how it is shaping what you actualize tomorrow.

This sign of brotherly and sisterly love is ruled by Uranus, which inspires rebellion and absolute freedom of mind. Don’t get carried away by the air of this sign, though. Remember some of that structure from Capricorn, as you dare to make this world a better place! It’s takes a village to nurture the community. And although your intentions may be great, your vision can be greater when you allow yourself to honor input from other perspectives.

If you feel driven to do things your own way, against the grain, be sure to consider the impact to all parties involved. Again, this energy is about the collective, you’re not the only one who will bear the consequence of your decisions. Live and let live is beautiful, in theory, as long as we can take ownership of how we choose to live ourselves, and consider how our actions influence the whole.

The Aquarian Gift: May you become the voice of change, bringing visions of the future into present scope, encouraging the evolution of mind, body and spirit. May the beat of your drum become so infectious that every man, woman and child comes to know their own rhythm, dancing proudly in their uniqueness.

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Today is my birthday and I’m excited to have this interview shared as another reason to celebrate! On this episode, I got to sit and chat with The Tarot Lady, Theresa Reed.

I’ve been following her work for years because Theresa, The Tarot Lady, has been a huge influence in my study and love of tarot.

But let’s talk about this new book! I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it was much more impactful than I could have imagined. Whether you want to clarify tough topics, emotions, or just need clarity around some of life’s challenges, The Cards You’re Dealt provides incredible tools to help you go deep, while staying honest and vulnerable!

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.

Quest for Truth | Energy of December 2023

December 2023: Quest for Truth

Focus: Expansion and Exploration

King of the Month: Sagittarius

Element: Fire

Mode: Mutable

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

HIGHLIGHTS: Neptune, Chrion, and Jupiter Direct, Mercury Retrograde, Winter Solstice, 33 Portals and Mercury Cazimi

The year is ending and it’s time to celebrate! Do not let holiday stress become your stress. Instead, tap into the adventurous energy of Sagittarius and set your sights on what’s to come. This sign is considered lucky, so whatever you choose to focus on, your aim will be perfection. What are you aiming for? Check your thoughts and keep them positive! Let wonder flow through your veins as you wander towards new horizons! With all of the holiday excitement and chaos, you may also find yourself with a mouthful of things that would be better left unsaid (or rephrased).

Sagittarius is known to have both feet in its mouth, so be mindful of your choice of words. Even if you believe what you want to say is true, consider the impact and your motivation. Only some can appreciate the directness of fire signs, while others walk away feeling burned. Being ruled by Jupiter, this fiery sign encourages us to explore in ways that feed the mind. Yes, Sagittarius is a lot of fun, but this energy is also intellectual and inspires higher learning. Consider what you want to understand, or what you would like to teach. And since this sign is mutable, you may want to try your hand at both, studying and teaching. Why not? Any limitations are created in the mind. Acknowledge the challenges for what they are; lessons. Empower yourself by choosing to consciously create the life you’re living. Welcome the New Year with a heart full of love and possibility!

The Sagittarian Gift: May you understand that life was never about suffering, but about the joy woven through the excitement of the unknown. May you seek wisdom that makes no man right or wrong, but realizes that all men are destined for adventure, allowing the spirit to roam free while studying his/her existence.

Events of the Month...

December 6th: Neptune Direct, in Pisces

December 12th: New Moon in Sagittarius

December 12th/13th: Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn, Then in Sagittarius on the 23rd December
