  Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful alchemist. Happy October. We are going to get
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: into the energy of this month and explore some ideas
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: intended to expand our minds and consciousness around the rhythm
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of our relationships. So happy birthday season to all of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: you beautiful Libras and later in the month to all
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of the beautiful Scorpios. Let's see what we all get
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to learn. through these beautiful intelligences that we call the cosmic. Okay,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: beautiful alchemist. I am, as always, very thankful to be
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: here with you to have discussions about the different energies
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that we explore today. to help us understand ourselves through
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the gift of life. And as we go through each year,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we touch on the aspects of consciousness related to the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: different astrological signs and with the system of astrology, this
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: also brings in the expressions and the intelligence of the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: various planets and their location and relationship to us and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the blueprint of our birth. So everything, what we study
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in this realm of spirituality and then what we just
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: live through our personal experiences and expressions, it's all meant
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to help us awaken to what it means to us
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to be one with all there is. And there's a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: lot of nuance to that in terms of, you know, the,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the journey or the purpose of our souls, um, within
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: each carnation. And we won't get into that now, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ultimately we are all on these paths, these journeys, um,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: following the call of remembrance and something within us has
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: patterned for this particular lifetime to have different experiences that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: add to the beauty of what it means to be creative,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: what it means to be in relationship in a variety
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of ways. All of it pointing back to relationship within ourselves,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: relationship with all there is, but also the uniqueness of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: being in relationship with other in this realm and other
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: being many things. So we get to explore, I would say,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the depth of the rhythm of relationship supported by the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: intelligence of Libra season and then how it cascades into
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Scorpio season. So we'll get into all of that in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a moment. I just want to first say thank you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: so very much to all of the beautiful women of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Awakening Airwaves and their contributions to our second annual Awakening
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Conference that took place last month. And for everyone who
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: said yes to joining us for the conference, thank you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for showing up. Thank you for your contributions, your interactions,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: just your presence and the grace of it all. Again,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we had so much fun. And there are, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: we're aware that some of you were unable to come live.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But if you were a participant just by way of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: buying a ticket to the conference, you still have access
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to all of the recordings and you have access to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the private Facebook group. So if you have questions for us,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: if you want to share anything you've been experiencing through
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what was shared with you in the conferences, you still
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: have ways to connect with us all. And we are
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: so thankful. Yeah, it went very, very well. So this
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: energy this month, as you know, I like to talk
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about just a few points of what's going on. Astrologically speaking,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: because I'm fascinated with the cyclical nature of life itself
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and of the movement of energy, the movement, the development,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the evolution of our lives and our consciousness. It's all
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: reflecting each other and all intertwined. But I love the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: way that the placement of the planets amongst the stars
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: can give us a lot of understanding and recognition of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: how we can learn through this navigation and Through the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: different seasons and different energies and different expressions of life.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And then coming down to Earth itself, Earth herself is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: also always going through this circular cyclical phases and stages
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that we call the seasons. And again, we get this
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: imprint or reflection of what it means to travel, to transition.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: from one thing to the next and what we get
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to learn within the transitional phases and stages of everything.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So speaking of which, we just transitioned into a new
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: season in the Northern Hemisphere. We are transitioning into the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: season of autumn. And this is like, I like to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think of it as the crossing the threshold into autumn.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the dark season, um, the peak of night or silence
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: being at the winter solstice. But for now we are
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all ushered into this new phase of energy. And yes,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I understand if you're in the Southern hemisphere, it's a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: different archetypal expression in terms of you being in, uh, spring,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but regardless, we are all, um, experiencing a new phase,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a new season of life and the energies that are
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: presented to us to support us and how we are
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: growing from where we are right now. So I really
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: would invite you to take a moment just to pause
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and have a quick, you know, reflection of where are
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you right now? In terms of What has been a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: highlight for you recently or throughout this year so far?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: What has been, I want to say, woven into your
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: experience of life this year? What is it that you
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: have been dancing with? What is it that you have
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: been questioning? What have you been exploring? What is it
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that you have been learning about yourself and life itself,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: your relationship to it. What have you been learning or recognizing?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: What has been mirrored back to you in your relationship
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: with others, whether romantic, friendship, family, co-workers, peers, your pets?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: What has been being revealed to you about your beliefs,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: about how you are changing, about how you have this
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: potential to evolve, how you have this potential to expand
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: into not just new understanding and new awareness, but also
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: into new opportunity. What have you been presented with in
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: terms of letting go or releasing? What has transformation looked
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like or meant to you? with where you are right now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: You know, we, I think, take for granted the way
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that we estimate cycles or seasons of life. Not even
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that we look at like the quarterly phases of an
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: entire year. And, you know, sometimes we will have, I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: would say, habit or ritual maybe of doing an overview
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of an entire year and of itself. Every time the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: new year comes along, we may reflect on the year
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that we just went through. The seasons give us more, again,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of like a quarterly view, a check-in of how we
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: are now transitioning into some other phase, stage, or just
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: different aspects of experience itself. But really when we whittle
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it down, It's like we're going through phases and stages
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: even within one day. From the moment you wake up,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you are in a certain type of frequency. You are
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in a certain type of, I want to say, line
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: of awareness and you're already in some sort of expression
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of feeling. But from the moment you get out of
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: bed and then when you begin to interact with life
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and the world and whatever it is you may encounter
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: in that day, you will also have this ebb and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: flow through your experience. You will have different frustrations that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: may arise, but then you also have the choice of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: how you interact with those. You may have laughter and joy.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You may have surprises, unexpected opportunities, unexpected, again, endings. All
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: things that you encounter just within one day is quite
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: phenomenal when you think about again, the experience and the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: expression of life and what is available to us in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: our relationship to it all. The thing about it, though,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is in this realm, we tend to give a lot
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of focus and attention to the relationship to the external,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: which there's nothing bad about that. I mean, it helps
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: us to learn, to grow, to evolve. It gives us
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a broader range of experiences versus if we were just
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: solitary in our lived expression. So there's a lot of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: gift in what we experience within the external. But sometimes
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: what is lost is the wisdom that is also meant
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to be experienced, acknowledged, studied, practiced even, that is very
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: much internalized for us. So on one hand, there is
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to have the external and then witness the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: way that we process or translate those externalized interactions and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: then how they sit and land and move through us internally.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And then we also have just the internal reflections. We
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: also have a lot of story attached to our lived experience.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: But in any case, we have a lot of internalized
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: story and those are also developed through the lived external experience.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: But those stories then, those expressions of what we may
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: have lived through, then also entangle with the intelligence of
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: our emotions and then those all can feed into how
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: we translate in our perspective of things, and then how
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we choose, decide, act, behave, all of these things. So
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the rhythm of our relationship is a very important part
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of life itself. And again, I just want to say,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: you know, pointing out for us, when we hear relationship
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: for a lot of us, our minds automatically go to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the romantic, but I want you to consider that you
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are in relationship with everything, everything, your relationship to environments,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: your relationship to the people that you pass on the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: street that you don't even know you are in relationship
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to all that you may interact with, you are in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: relationship to energy, your relationship to feeling your relationship to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: quite literally everything. And this is part of that, that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: being in the unified field of all there is. You
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: can't not be in relationship to all. But fortunately for us,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and the brilliance of our design is that we can
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: direct our intelligence and focus on, you know, just a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: few things at a time. I mean, imagine the overload
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of recognizing consciously that you were in relationship to all.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It would short circuit us. It would be too much.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So we have the ability to hone in, to direct
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the mind, to expand our awareness around any given connection, relationship, thought, feeling,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: exchange as we choose. So this work, if you're listening
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to this I assume that you are either a Reiki practitioner,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Reiki curious, or someone that I maybe just stumbled across there.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But in the relationship to what it
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: means to be in the study and the practice of
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a variety of things that could fall under the umbrella
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of what many call spiritual or spirituality in nature. So...
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: With that, I guess I would say many of you
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: do know that I have studied and practiced and I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: teach Reiki. But again, that's something that I came into
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: relationship with. The nature of my life experience led me,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: guided me into then the experience of coming into relationship
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: with the system that then also broadened my understanding and
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: awareness of my relationship to me. which also started to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: shift and change my understanding around my relationship to all
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: there is. And it started to open up some more
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: curiosity to study other systems, philosophies, teachings, practices that all
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: poured into this deepening awareness of what it means to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: be in relationship with all myself included. So this season though, October,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: lovingly after referred to a spooky season because of Halloween.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Although it's also, you know, again, in the Southern Hemisphere
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: or the Northern Hemisphere, we are entering the dark season
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: where the days are longer and I'm sorry, the nights
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are longer and the days are shorter. But also, I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: would argue, it's also where we meet Scorpio season. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have, you know, ideas of that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: essence being, I don't want to say spooky, but a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: lot of people hear Scorpio and they're like, ooh. And,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to say there's like a lot
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of myth and hype around that, as with all things.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: But it is a beautiful essence that we get to touch.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And yes, it can be intense. And yes, it can
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: take us into the depths of, you know, where many
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: would find discomfort, but it serves a purpose. So we'll
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: get to that. We'll actually talk more about Scorpio next month.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: But when I was thinking about the energy of the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: month for October, because of our touching or being touched
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: by the essence of Libra and Scorpio later, It did
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: make me think about that, the rhythm of relationship. And
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: many of you know, astrology aside, I also consider the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Oracle and the Oracle deck that I created. And I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: want to say about the Oracle, the reason I included
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: in these Energy of the Month series, my deck specifically,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is because while Oracle is often associated with prediction and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it can be used in that way, Some people use
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Oracle just to have understanding about the energy of whatever
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: situation they are living through at any given time. That's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: really what this deck is about. It's really not so
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: much about prediction, although you could use it for that.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But the way that I created the deck, the way
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the intention infused in the deck and the book that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: accompanies the deck was really written and inspired by the
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: journey of the seeker. So those of us who do
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: come into this relationship, this awakening to who are we really?
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: What is life really? What is our purpose? Whatever it
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: was that drew you in to wanting to explore and
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: understand life and yourself from a different lens. And whatever
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the catalyst is that looks something different for all of us.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: For some, it is medical. For some, it is just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: life change happened. It could be circumstantial for some. It
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: almost seems like I have no idea how this landed
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: for me, how this showed up. But regardless, here we are.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And so I include the deck because if you have
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the deck, there is not only symbolism in each card,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: but there are expressions of deeper teachings, philosophies, and systems
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: from this realm of spirituality. So That's why I even
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: created the Oracle School to accompany this deck specifically so
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that you could see how not only are the cards
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: used to help us understand the essence of how we
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: are in relationship at any given time to ourselves, to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a thought, to an idea, to an experience, to a person,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: how we are in relationship, what is the energetic expression
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that is emerging in in relationship to any area of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: our life, including the part that we play. So that's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: very important for us to come into this awareness of
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: how we are participating within our life, our relationship to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: whatever it is that you personally are trying to understand.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: at this time. And that would be different for all
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: of us. But because of what I study and what
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I practice and what I've learned through it all, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: infuse a lot of those teachings into these cards so
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that in Oracle School, you can also learn how these
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: ancient systems and philosophies were also mirroring back a deeper
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: level understanding of what it means to remember, to awaken,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: to feel in relationship to that soul level call of purpose.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It's a path of many calls self-realization, but I wanted
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to mention this because I The cards that I pulled
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: for the support of what the energy of October is about,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I wanted you to understand why there's more than one
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: card this month. So the card of the month, going
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: with how I traditionally do this, the card of the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: month is threshold, which is the number 10 for the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: 10th month being October. And the threshold card, we see
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: four characters and they each represent the fixed signs, Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and Taurus. And you see a spiral. This is the threshold,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the movement of energy, the movement of life, the movement
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of consciousness, of energy right there in the center. So
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: we'll get into that in a moment. But I also
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: felt called to pull the sun card, which is the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: number 19 and 1 and 9 equal 10. So there.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: But there's also teachings in this card that relate to
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this energy of this month of relationship. One of them being, again,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: you see the spiral, just like you saw in the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: threshold card in the center of the sun. But you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: also see, inspired by the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the sun has
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: some lines that are wavy and some lines that are straight.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And that is the expression of both the feminine and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the masculine, the movement of these different types of energies.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So when I was thinking about this and thinking about
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: relationship and what is really highlighted for us in this
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: beautiful part of the journey this month, I thought of
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the threshold card And in the threshold card, which is
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: related to the lover's card in tarot, in the lover's card,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I feature expressions related to Egypt, ancient Egypt. I'm not
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: going to go into all the details now. But the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: lemnis gate itself is that figure eight in between them.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: And you see this essence that represents the feminine. You
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: see this essence that represents the masculine and the stars
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in between represent child or children, us. They all represent us. However,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in relationship, when we think about relationship energy, usually there's
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: an idea of this person and that person. And the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: gift and challenge is is how do we harmonize? How
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: do we find this resonance of allowance between the two
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: where the two can meet and then come into a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: new rhythm together while still maintaining and experiencing and expressing
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: their own change in rhythm? So it made me think
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of Libra and Libra season, which is symbolized by the scales.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: And I realized in this reflection that the lemniscate is
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: like the higher octave of the scales. So here in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the realm of duality, the scales, we often think of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: balance as this or that and finding, you know, this balance,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: which would be equal weight on either side. When in fact,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the higher expression of that The lemniscate, where we still
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: see two sides that could be very similar to the scales,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: but instead of there being a weighted distribution on either side,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: there is a way to find coherence, flow, allowance of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: both to move together in creating a succinct rhythm of coherence.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So neither is lost, but rather there is a higher
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: expression that is found and the unification, the joining of
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the two. So if you have the deck, I would
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: say pull out all three of these cards, meditate on them.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: You could read the guidebook and see what the definitions are.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: But I would meditate on these cards and see what
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: else comes through for you personally and what other insights and,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: you know, take note of that for yourself. But in
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: this rhythm of relationship, that's important to note. You know,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: we have ourselves and we have other. And as it
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: relates to our internalized relationship, we have different aspects of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: self that we are trying to bring into coherence and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to right rhythm. Some would refer to this as maybe
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: higher self and ego. We may have our inner child
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and then the lens or perspective of our adult self
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: or our, you know, the wiser expression of ourselves. But
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: there's really this wisdom of intelligence in every layer of
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: expression that exists in the I want to say architecture
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: of what you've lived through and what you will live through,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: how you are contributing to it all. You are contributing
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to how you carry the memory, the expression, the energy,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the essence, the feeling of what you've already gone through
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and how you carry it now, how you work with
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: it now, how you acknowledge it now will then pour
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: into how you proceed and expand or resist and retract.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: as it relates to the forward motion of life, these
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: seasons and cycles. I will say just as a side note,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: like those of you in the alchemy circle, we probably
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: will go deeper into entering the season, talking about transformation
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and relationship to our shadow and really what it means
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: to sit with, allow and acknowledge, honor even the parts
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: of us that went through those phases and stages of development.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: so that we can then allow that unification with who
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and where we are right now, with compassion, with love
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and reclaiming of our power, which is very much related, again,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: for all of us to Scorpio season. So the balanced scales, instead,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: if we look at the lemniscate, we can look at
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it at one degree on the scales. It's like we
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: experience energy. some level of ourself, we experience them, what
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it means to be in relationship to other. That's also
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: that axis of Aries and Libra, and we're in Libra season.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So every sign has what's called its opposite. And again,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: when we talk about opposite, there's also this implication of
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: opposing forces, like the sun and the moon, the feminine,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the masculine, black and white, light and dark. These two
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: opposing energies, forces, things. And in astrology, again, there's always
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: an opposite to every sign. So Libra season is also
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: opposite of Aries. But here's the thing that's important to
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: understand about opposition or opposing in these terms. It's not
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: really that they're opposite as much as they're just two
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: different frequencies, two different expressions of the same thing. So
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: where Aries season really brings us into the reflection, the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: amplification of relationship to self, to self-identity, to self-love, I
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: want to say the way we lead and govern ourselves,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: how we see ourselves and see the world. It's very
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I-centric at, I will say, the initial stages of our
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: cyclical journey. At some point, we go around the wheel
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: of life and then that lowercase self then can develop
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: into capital S self, which is really the realization that self,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: is non-existent. Whatever. Again. What I want you to understand
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: for now is that while on one side of this spectrum,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Aries can help us understand and examine and experience more
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of relationship to self. On the other side of the
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: spectrum where we're landing now in Libra is having understanding
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: of self in relationship to other. Again, it's not opposing
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: in like a tug of war. They are the opposite
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: ends of the same. So there's no... I want to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: say there's... A challenge when we lose a sense of
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: self in relationship. And there's also a challenge when we
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: don't consider other when we are in relationship. And again,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: this isn't just romantic. It's all things. We have a
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: challenge when we don't acknowledge a sense of other even
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: within our own expression. We lose self. or have a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: challenge when we get too fixated on wanting to, I
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: want to say, fulfill one aspect of pleasure or desire,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: what we want, our goal, something like this. And this
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: is coming to mind just because of Venus, and Venus
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is the ruler of Libra. There is balance in all things. Again,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Libra being the symbolized by the scales, but balance in
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: all things. I want you to consider what that would
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: look like or mean if it meant there was a flow,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: there was an equilibrium between this and that, you and other.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So not in a fight against but rather finding the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: right rhythm between two points on either end of any scale.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? How is that being shown to you?
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And how do you respond to it? So now let's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: look at what's going on. Astrologically speaking, some of the
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: points are some of the reflections for this month, and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: then I'll get back to the Lemniscate card, which is
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the teacher of this month, so to speak. So on
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: October 3rd until November 13th, we have the planet Venus,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: which I mentioned is the ruler of Libra, going retrograde
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: in the sign of Scorpio. And whenever you hear retrograde,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: just imagine that It's pointing to instead of whatever that
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: planet that is in retrograde, every planet represents something. It'll
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: represent like Mercury everyone talks about is related to our communication,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: our process of thought and movement, travel, these kinds of things.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Venus can be related to our desires, the way that
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: we relate. It's other aspects of our lived expression, right?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: All the planets represent something different. When we are in
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: forward movement with those energies, it's very different than when
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: they retrograde, which then is more of a reflective opportunity
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: for us in that particular energy. So with Venus going retrograde,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it gives us this opportunity to be more reflective on
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: what Venus represents. But then the seasoning on that is
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Scorpio because Venus will be in the sign of Scorpio
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: as it is going into this, we could say for us,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: reflective stage. So this could really amplify some of those
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Scorpio themes as they would relate to Venus. So it's
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: not just love, desire relating to others, but that Scorpionic
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: flair would then be What is hidden around all of that?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Not just the love, the niceties, the desire, the pleasure
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: of relationship, but what's in the depths? What's been hidden?
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: What's been restricted? What's being repressed? What challenges need to
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: be unearthed, recognized, realized in our relationships? And remember, while
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: this energy can sound like, oh, God, who wants to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: deal with that? It's for our benefit, though. It's like
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: we are carrying different expressions, feelings, stories, memories, relationship to
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: our relationships, right? that are causing us tension, causing us friction,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: causing us sadness, causing us regret, causing any kind of grief,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: having an impact on how we identify or see or
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: know ourselves, having an impact on our idea, our beliefs
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: around what it means to be in relationship to any
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: other thing or person. If you're given an opportunity, to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: understand what you carry and how so that you can
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: show up and acknowledge these aspects of you, your situation,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the dynamic with the wisdom of your compassion, with the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: allowance of seeing beyond just the noise and the grip
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: of your own emotion, but also having the availability to
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: consider the position, the effect, the words, the expression of
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the other also. Sorry, I had to get water again.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I talk a lot in the day, whether it's sessions, podcasting, interviewing,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: or doing these sorts of things. So today, it's just
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: catching up with me. I need the water. But in
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: any case, if you have the opportunity of... you know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: life came to you and said, or in this case,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Venus in Scorpio came and said, listen, you've been carrying
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: a lot for a long time that has been impacting
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you in ways that you may have been denying. You
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: may have not felt that you had the strength to
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: look at. You may have not wanted to revisit because
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you were afraid of feeling those feelings or Or you're
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: afraid of having that conversation. You're afraid of the consequence
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: of the vulnerability, the honesty, and so on. Maybe some
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of that has been violated and it has caused you
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to build boundaries and walls to try to self-protect. And regardless,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: it's all having an effect on you. There's an opportunity
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in this energy. to review and reflect on the hidden
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: dynamics and aspects of you and relationship with all and anyone,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: whatever is most prominent right now. And as this comes
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: up through the lived experience, you have the opportunity instead
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: of fighting against it, instead of trying to defend, instead
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of trying to deny, You have the opportunity to soften
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: within yourself for yourself to say, what is it about
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: this that I need to understand? Not just from my lens,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: but also potentially from theirs. And that's where we also
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: have that essence of Libra that is related to justice,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: fairness within the balance. It's not fairness in terms of
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: you're going to get your way. It's the flow, that
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: lemniscate beyond the scales that has consideration for all aspects,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: your perspective and theirs, your feeling and theirs. Finding the
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: middle ground again on both ends of any spectrum. This
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: particular spectrum may be you and another person. This other
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: spectrum may be finally dealing with where there's a negotiation
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: in place around how something will be handled. It'll look
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: like something different for all of us, but the key
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: is that we're given the opportunity. So where does it
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: show up that you can finally sit and witness what
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: has been avoided, repressed, misunderstood within the realm of relationship
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that would actually serve you? You know, it makes me
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: think of sometimes when I am dealing with something I
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: don't feel like dealing with or I don't want to
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: or it's just inconvenient. I remind myself that, okay, maybe five,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: 10 minutes of discomfort is worth the availability of freedom,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: no longer being restricted by, no longer hiding from, no
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: longer fighting with whatever the thing may be. And this
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: could be, you know, just as simple as sometimes doing
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: an errand or a chore, right? We will avoid doing
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: that thing because it just sounds so daunting and we
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: don't want to give it our time and we don't
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: feel like doing it. But the minute we come to
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the decision of, okay, I'm just going to deal with it,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: then it's done. So in relationship, yeah, some things may
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: take longer to work out or sort through or go through,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: but you're given an opportunity to learn, to practice, to
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: all throughout the back and forth of the exchange. You're
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: given an opportunity to find harmony in what seemed opposing.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: So it's a gift, you know, and I like to
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: have these kinds of conversations because again, A lot of
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: people are afraid of the idea of growth, of transformation,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of change and all of these things. And just by
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the nature of universal law and the way that, you know,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: cosmic intelligence, earth intelligence, the way all things move is
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: that there's movement, there's flow. And again, like I mentioned,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: there are seasons. So how do we allow ourselves to
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: transition from How do we allow ourselves to harmonize? We're
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: given so many beautiful opportunities to learn how to within
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: our relationship to self, to other, and what that ends
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: up illuminating in our understanding and how we live our lives.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: So that starts, again, October 3rd. But if you want
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: to practice... what it means to be in relationship to
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: your energy, you can join me the next day on
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: October 4th. Once a month, I invite you to join me.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: It's free. It is called the Activation Circles. So this month,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: it is happening on October 4th. It is typically on
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the second Sunday of every month, but because of another engagement,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I have to do it on October 4th this month.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: So mark your calendar. If you want to come to
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the activation circle, we tend to have a point of focus. Honestly,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of times that is influenced by who is present.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: And so you can come enjoy a little bit of
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: conversation because that also contributes to our understanding our expansion
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: of consciousness. You can ask me questions about energy work
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: if you'd like, but ultimately we also do, I facilitate
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: a guided journey, which is very meditative in nature so
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: that you can experience whatever it is that we are discussing.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: So the activation circles happen once a month, mark your calendar.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: If you want to join, it's really easy. Just download
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: my app. The Energetic Alchemist app, you can download it
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: from the Apple App Store or from Google Play. For androids,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: just type in the search, The Energetic Alchemist, download my app.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: You'll see a picture of my face, so you'll know
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: it's the right one. All right, so that's on October 4th.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: And then soon after, we have 1010, October 10th. And
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: those of you who love... numerology, you will appreciate that
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: this day is in fact a triple E, triple one day.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: So it's one, one, one. So we have the 10
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: and the 10 both reducing to the number one, but
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: it's also we are in a universal one year. So
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: this energy really emphasizes the intelligence of not just alignment,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: but also the number three, also creation. And also with
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: both tens, we have the zero. which is cyclical in nature,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: which can be symbolic of many different things. It could
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: be the all within the all. It could also be
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: symbolizing the journey, the passage that we're taking. And the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: threshold card, again, is the number 10. And we see, again,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: that spiraling of energy, of life, of expression, of consciousness
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: in the center. And in the four corners, we have
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: the fixed signs. So during a new moon, it is
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: common that we consider the seeds that we are planting.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: It is the start of a new cycle, right? So
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: it's like we have cycles within cycles. We have the
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: cycle of the earth the whole year. We have the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: cycle of a month, about 30 days. We have the
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: cycle of the moon phases, also about a month, right?
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: But this new moon is very symbolic of planting seeds.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: new seeds. But the sign that the moon is in
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: at this time is pointing to the essence of what
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: kind of seeds are we going to consider that we
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: may be planting. And I want to say for some
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: of us, it's not about planting necessarily just on that day.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: It's reflectiveness, examining the seeds that are already in your pocket.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: What kind of seeds do you currently hold? as it
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: relates to these Libra themes. So when the moon is new,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: typically the sun and the moon are both in the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: same sign. So we have the sun and the moon,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: both in Libra on this day, amplifying that intelligence of relationship,
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: of balance, relating to other, the wisdom that this brings.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: So what seeds do you hold and What seeds may
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: you want to plant so that you can learn more
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: about the seed of your current interpersonal dynamics and how
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: you may want to further develop or nurture those differently?
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Are there any new ways that you believe would support
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: you in showing up in relationship differently? The key is
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: always going to point back to you, how you're in
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: relationship with you. So I would say on this new moon,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: it would also be really great to reflect on your
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: current relationship to you. Having deep consideration of where you
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: may benefit from being more compassionate, more loving, creating more
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: harmony in the way that you see, know, or understand yourself.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: And then that can contribute then to the way that
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: you develop relationship to other from here. Whether a romantic relationship, again, colleagues, partnerships,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: relationship to your job, your career, whatever, relationship. So this
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: is a beautiful opportunity to really give some time, reflectiveness, observation.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I also want to say when these different energies come
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: up and we talk about this, it's not like, oh,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: this is only going to happen on October 10th. Think
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: of it more as when these astrological aspects happen. It's
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: more of an opening, more of an expression of these
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: energies to illuminate our awareness around whatever it may be
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: with more clarity. And so we may have experiences that
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: bring this right to our face where we're like, huh,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: what is this showing me? What can I understand? But
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: then also we have an opportunity to say, you know what?
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I want to start to notice and reflect on this
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: for myself. So then the way that I show up
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: and start participating from here, is more in line with
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the type of seed I want to nourish as it
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: comes to me in relationship to anyone or anything. So
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: who or what supports your growth and how do you
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: relate to them or it? That is a beautiful consideration
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: during this new moon. What's at the root of your relationships?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: What's at the root of your relationship to yourself? All right.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Then after this, on October 15th, we have the planet Pluto,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: which is associated with transformation, other things, but it's very transformative. energy.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: That retrograde is going to end and it is going
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: to station direct in Aquarius. You know, it's been talked
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: about for months now how Pluto moved into Aquarius. It's
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: a big deal because Pluto stays in one sign for
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: a very long time. So it being now in Aquarius,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I want to say, listen to one
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: of the old energy of the months to go over
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: all of that. But it was in retrograde, again, reflecting
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: on the themes where transformation may have been pronounced, invited,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: insisted in our lives, as it relates to very Aquarian
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: type themes. Now, in general, the Aquarian themes will be
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: to kind of bring into your awareness where you may
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to refine the way you are in
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: relationship to groups, community, friendships. This could also be about
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: refining the way that you stand with more confidence in
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: your own authenticity, not being afraid to go against the norm,
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: so to speak. But also in this work, it'll show
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: up in our lives differently in different areas of our lives.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: So if you look on your own birth chart and
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: you see where there is the symbol for Aquarius, which
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: house Aquarius sits on in your chart, that will also
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: give you indication of what area of your life this
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: may be most pronounced for you. So anyway, we've had
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: this retrograde going on where there would have been some
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: reflection around these things that I just mentioned, including reflection
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: or opportunity to examine power struggles that may have shown
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: up in our lives. But now that it's stationing direct,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: this means now we're moving back forward again. It kind
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: of reminds me of, it's coming to say, retrograde is like,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: going back to the drawing board. So imagine you're working
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: on a project themed by whatever the planet is that
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: is in retrograde. You're working on a project and then
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the retrograde hits and says, no, no, no, we're not
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: ready to fully move forward with this. We need to
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board, reflect a bit, see
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: where corrections can be made, see what is learned, see
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: what may need to change, what is transforming. what can
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: be done differently before we actually move forward again. So
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: that's what this energy now we're going back into the
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: forward motion again, but I would say it benefits us
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: to recognize, but what have we learned in relationship to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: those areas I just mentioned? That is not dissimilar from
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: the threshold card. Yes, the threshold is there. We're moving
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: into a new phase, a new cycle, a new lived
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: aspect of our experience overall. But there's opportunity to reflect,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: to go back, to make sure, to extract the wisdom.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: So we're not repeating lessons of the past. We're not
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: repeating old stories and old just behaviors and patterns and
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: ideas that that maybe we've outgrown or maybe just don't
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: make sense anymore or just have been what have been
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: holding us back all along. This opportunity to revise is
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: such a gift. The opportunity to reflect, to understand in
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: a higher way is such a gift. And this month
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: is packed with that. And it's meant to support our
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: forward movement. So after we move forward with Pluto and Aquarius,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: On the 23rd, we have the sun moving out of
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Libra and into Scorpio. And so this is like we're
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: going beyond the essence of just relationship being about our connection.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: And again, you know, trying to find balance and harmony
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: and doing the dance between us and other. As we
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: transition into Scorpio, we then go into the depths of
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: the essence of relationship. Again, what has been hidden in
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: the shadow? What do we need to understand about what
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: we hold that will help us, give us an opportunity
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: to transform, to reclaim our personal power, to come back
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: into our sovereignty because of what we have learned, because
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: of how we have had an opportunity to expand rather
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: than feeling defeated and crushed. What do we learn in
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: that discomfort? What do we learn in our own personal underworld,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: so to speak, in our own personal shadowy spaces? There's
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: wisdom there. And there are aspects of you, your experience,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: your life, your choices, all of it that is waiting
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to be reclaimed by your higher view, by your heart,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: by your compassion, by What can be refined, yes, but
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: transformed through the honoring of what you've gone through to
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: get to where you are and to inspire where you
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: go from here. So again, we will talk more about
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Scorpio in Scorpio season, but typically just in a generalized way,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: this season is about transformation, death. it's intense. It can be,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: but it really supports our inner alchemy as all things do,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: but it spotlights it. So after this, the next day
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: on October 24th through November the 13th, we have Mercury
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: going retrograde, which again, we've all heard of this Mercury
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: going retrograde in the sign of Scorpio though. So Not
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: only is it a time to reflect and consider communication,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: which includes our inner communication, our inner thought forms and processes,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: how we're seeing and understanding anything, but how that is
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: also in relationship to other, what is being communicated to us,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: what we're communicating to other, right? It's the internal and
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the external aspects of this, but the retrograde gives us
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: that opportunity to reflect on it all. to acknowledge other
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: revisions that need to be made? Do we need to
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: be more careful, more deliberate, making sure that things aren't misunderstood?
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: It is, I think, a great practice of presence, especially
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: during retrograde, because it is a time that you want
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: to cross your T's, dot your I's, make sure what
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: you see is what you see, what you know is
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: what you know, what you heard is really what was
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: meant to be understood. It's a great time to practice presence,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: I think. But in this, because Mercury is retrograding in Scorpio, again,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: we have the opportunity to reflect on, to recognize, to
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: encounter again for an opportunity to refine energies that may
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: be related to our resentments, our emotions, what truth, needs
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: to finally be acknowledged. How are you in relationship with
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: how you feel and how is that informing the way
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: that you may be engaging with whatever it is in
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: your life right now? So again, I just feel like
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: it is a great teacher, another opportunity to reclaim our
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: power with more wisdom and understanding. being very mindful of
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: what we communicate and understanding what is being communicated to us.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: So what you say, how you say it, and to whom.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: There's an air of mystery with Scorpionic energy. So I
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: would say this energy, you would also want to be
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: very mindful, especially in the retrograde, be very mindful of
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: who you share what with. Okay. After this, we have
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: the full moon in Taurus, and that is on October 26th.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Mark your calendar. We know that a full moon represents
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the culmination of a cycle. And this cycle would have
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: begun during the new moon in Taurus, which would be
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Taurus season. So that would be back in the end
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: of April or early May. So what has reached its peak?
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: point of fullness or completion for you that may have
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: begun during the new moon in Taurus back around again
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: end of April early May what is coming full circle
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: and what are you full of the full moon always
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: reminds me of the illumination of our innermost self and
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: with it being in Taurus it's like what is our
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: relationship that is being illuminated what are we even feeling
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: about stability our sense of security what our values are
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: and our relationship to our finances so this could be
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: a really good energy especially with the Sun in Scorpio,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: the opposing sign. How can any of this potentially be
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: transformed to serve you? What cycles around these themes are
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: you ready to come full circle with? Again, thresholds. What
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: have you learned? What is ready to transform before you
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: proceed forward into a new season, a new cycle, a
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: new phase? So mark your calendars for that. Notice what's
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: coming up in life around those themes. And then finally,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: we end the month with Halloween on October 31st. And
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: there is so much around this energy. A friend of
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: mine and I years ago did a whole special a
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: deep dive on Halloween. We researched it, the origin, the superstitions,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: the practices, like just so much about the origin of Halloween,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: which was fascinating. And I will link that to this.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: So if you are watching this and creating with the
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: moon and stars, which is a free resource, when you
