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 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.

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.

Reiki and Your Intuition

,

Happy Jupiter Day, Alchemist!

Today, it's just me and you. I'm here to discuss one of the most common questions I'm asked about Reiki...if it has anything to do with intuition. I have a lot to say about this from two lenses; first, what the system of Reiki is pointing to, including techniques, PLUS my opinions that are based on personal experiences through practice. Are you ready? I can't wait to hear your thoughts, so be sure to email me after the episode.

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

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
