Today's episode offers a reframearound the purpose of money and
how we use it as a metric ofsuccess of how well we're doing.
Of our worthiness or any of thepotentially reductive or
superficial ways that weunderstand the mirror that money

(00:24):
is.
We're going to go through thelooking glass, go deeper and
look at truly what money is areflection of.
Because it actually exists atthe space between spirit and
structure.
As above, so below we are thebridge between, and money is
that interesting flow, that isboth a reflection of our actual

(00:50):
tangible financial flow, but isalso just as much, if not more
so when it comes to the sourceof it as the energetic flow that
it's mirroring.
And when it comes to this energyside, we're talking more
abundance is the label for it,that then that abundant flow
manifests as cash.

(01:12):
So the mirror that it is is ableto show us where or how well our
life is flowing, or where, andhow much we might be
experiencing blockages that thenmanifest as scarcity or dry
spells when it comes to thephysically tangible manifest
money.

(01:32):
So it encompasses way more thanmost people think it does or
relate to it in real time aroundthe bigger purpose that it
actually can be for you.
It's dynamic.
It's more than a number and morethan a mindset.
It's a living, breathing,dynamic reflection of your

(01:55):
cosmic design in motion, orpotentially in pause or install.
One thing I like to think aboutwhen it comes to how we're able
to use money as the mirror it'smeant to be is this idea that
how you do one thing is how youdo everything or the way this
principle lands and grounds forme is inside of my psychedelic

(02:19):
background.
That place where everything is ahall of mirrors, everything is
reflecting everything else.
You can see everything reflectedin everything else, so you're
able to get information throughthe simple metric of your money
and cashflow and related numbersthat end up giving you so much

(02:41):
more information beyond that,that you can apply to
understanding how well thingsare in rhythm or flowing or
growing in general in your life.
You've probably experienced thisa lot of times there's the
expression right when it rains,it pours.
I don't know what the positiveside of that is, but just as

(03:02):
much when it rains blessings, itpours blessings.
When things start to turn up inour health, our relationships,
or whatever area of our life,our business, we tend to see
that things turn up in otherareas too, there's kind of this
like overall energetic flow oreddie.

(03:24):
I think part of the reason thishappens is because when things
are working in one area, itcreates a kind of momentum, an
optimism, and it ends upspilling out and impacting other
areas of our lives.
And of course the same is truein reverse.
When things don't go our way,our attitude shifts.
We start to lose faith in theflow of blessings coming our

(03:48):
way.
We get a little bit morecontracted or constricted and
call in less or are open toseeing and receiving less
opportunity or positive thingsin our life.
When we have areas in our lifewhere the flow gets stuck,
there's similar ripples of that,that affect other areas as well.

(04:09):
And of course, this isn't blackand white.
Sometimes things are going wellin one area, not in another.
But in general, if you zoom outand look at the big picture, you
can see energetic trends thatthings start to follow.
Of course, we can also look toastrology to get some indication
of how that flow and rhythmfunctions.

(04:29):
But the point here is that moneythen becomes this relatively
simple and clean and clearmetric and mirror of the overall
health of your energeticecosystem.
Of course I know of no bettertool to understand how we're
designed to be in flow and howto align with our unique design

(04:54):
to be able to find and maintainflow.
Then our astrology chart.
So I'm gonna go into a littlebit of astrology basics here to
understand how this works.
In your chart, you have planets,signs and houses.
The planet is the part of you,the side of you.
Something in you that it wantssomething or is motivated by

(05:16):
something.
I love the parallel of IFS.
Internal family systems, wherewe're able to unpack and
identify what are these partsthat live inside of us.
Astrology is such a cool tool toreflect that as well.
We can often find parallels ofidentifying those same parts as
the planets expressing in ourchart.
Then we have the signs for eachplanet.

(05:38):
That's the style, themotivation, the expression that
that planet moves through.
This brings our first clue tothese flow, generative,
supportive processes, right?
If we have these parts of us andeach of them is motivated to
express or show up or engage ina certain kind of way.

(06:02):
That can be one clue, oh if I'mnot doing that, if I'm not
aligned with the style of thatsign and that archetype, then
there's a mismatch there.
Things are probably not flowingas optimally as they could when
it comes to that part of me.
And lastly, such an importantpiece, I like to talk about flow
with the metaphor of water.

(06:23):
Obviously my signature program,cosmic currency, plays on and
doubles down on this.
But another way to think of it,that can be really helpful, is
the flow of electricity and howit needs a ground to be able to
complete its circuit.
Another great metaphor for this,the Aquarion in me, is that
electric energy, that islightning, lightning is all of

(06:46):
this potential energy in the skythat just needs somewhere to
land, to ground, and that's howit's able to complete its
circuit and express as thebright flash of light that is
lightning.
This metaphor is so perfect totalk about the role of the
houses in your chart, you havethese parts of you that are
designed to express in a certainway, with the house they're

(07:08):
designed to ground and land intoa certain area of your life.
So this can be another placewhere there's clues to why
things aren't flowing asoptimally as they could be.
If there's a part of you that'sdesigned to express in a certain
way, and you're not expressingit into the life arena that it's
meant to ground into, you're notaligning it with the design of

(07:32):
how that energy is meant toflow.
Something's getting stopped up.
It's not able to ground asoptimally the way that lightning
electricity in the air and skyis meant to ground into the
earth.
There's a particular earth-likearena that your energy is meant
to ground into for thesedifferent parts of you, and
that's how you complete thatoptimal alignment that we

(07:55):
experience as flow.
Getting back to the othermetaphor that works so well for
this with water, I love to thinkabout a river stream or flow,
there are natural channels thatit's meant to flow through, but
if the water gets diverted andhas to find its own path in some
other way, other than thatnatural carved out, designed way

(08:19):
that it's meant to in thatmoment, it's gonna come across
more obstructions.
It's gonna move more slowly.
It's not gonna be able to flownearly as freely.
Bringing it all home to thetopic of money flow and
abundance that we're focusing onhere.
When the energy circuits of yourdesign are able to complete,

(08:40):
then abundance flows and followsas part of that natural design.
Basically a byproduct of youbeing in alignment with your
natural design.
Let's ground this that we'retalking about with an example.
Let's say that you have Mars inTaurus, so the source of your

(09:03):
energy and your excitement andyour motivation is meant to be
more steady and consistent.
You're designed for a kind ofsustainable momentum.
You are not someone, unlike me,I have Mars in Aries who is
designed to have quick bursts ofenergy, almost erratically, so.

(09:25):
But You jump on'em when theycome and you ride them all the
way like I've been doing latelyin the new version and evolution
of cosmic currency, that I amgonna circle back to and tease a
bit more on in the end of thisepisode.
These are two very differentwirings.
So if you have Mars in Taurusand you're trying to force

(09:47):
yourself into embodying a lot ofenergy or basically trying to
act like me and Mars in Aries,maybe you have someone in your
life that's of a differentdesign and they're inspiring to
you and you try and do it likethem.
Or maybe you have a mentor or acoach that's teaching you to do
things like them in a way thatworks for them, but they're like

(10:09):
me and they're a Mars in Ariesperson that rides those waves
and catches them when they come.
But you're Mars in Taurus.
And that is not your design.
You're meant to slow and steadyin a more disciplined way, show
up with your energy to keep italmost like stoking a fire, like

(10:30):
a campfire instead of Mars inAries people.
It's like lighting a match anddoing as much as you can with
that flame before it goes out.
Let's take this example a stepfurther with grounding it into
the house.
My Mars in Aries is in my fifthhouse.
When I catch those rides ofinspiration, the thing that I

(10:50):
ground it into is my creativity.
I'll often, when I get a newidea for a new offer or a new
direction, the first thing thatI just pour that energy into are
the graphics, the new branding,the more aesthetic and creative
side of it, that's what thencreates that wave of momentum

(11:11):
that I can ride and carry forthinto some of the other tasks.
But let's say your Mars inTaurus is in the seventh house
of relationships with otherpeople.
What's going to sustain yourmotivation and energy is to,
obviously, we already said withTaurus, make it a more
sustainable, consistent, showingup.

(11:32):
And to do it, not alone, butwith other people.
To have mirrors and coaches andmentors and colleagues in your
life where you regularly showup, say for coworking sessions,
that's going to keep your firelit.
And if we're talking like I amabout how you show up in your
business to keep that flamestoked for your income

(11:55):
generating activities, if youare misaligned because you are
not showing up in alignment withyour design and grounding it in
the way that you are alsodesigned to, that's probably
going to show up in your money.
You're not going to have thesuccess that you envision or
would like to have becauseyou're going against your

(12:15):
design.
And in this way, again, moneybecomes a mirror and it's
helpful to look at.
You might see that times thatyou are aligning more with that
Mars in Taurus in the seventhhouse, and you do have someone
in your corner that you canregularly, consistently, daily
or weekly show up to talk aboutthe things that are exciting to

(12:38):
you, to hold yourselfaccountable to taking action and
reporting back that maybethere's more money that flows in
during those times.
And you might notice that timesthat you are trying to hustle
and force yourself to act in away that goes against your
design that's out of alignment.
You might notice that the moneydoes not flow quite as freely.

(13:00):
But here's the thing, even as anabundance astrologer that
understands the cheat codes thatare so helpful in aligning with
your energy and being the mostoptimal version of you to show
up as the boss inside yourbusiness.
When it comes to making moneyand using money flow as a metric

(13:22):
of how well energy is flowing inyour life.
This isn't just something we doin our heads.
This isn't just a mentalunderstanding or even an
emotional anchor that's going toachieve this for you.
I said before, and I'll say it amillion times, as above, so

(13:43):
below, we exist in the spectrumbetween.
So if your relationship withyour money flow has primarily
been around mindset and mantrasand trying to align mentally and
even spiritually andemotionally, energetically with
the principles of abundance.

(14:03):
But you haven't leaned just asseriously into the practical
physical domain that becomes thelanding strip for actual money
to manifest.
Then you are missing half of theequation and likely have not
found much success, muchsustainable success with your
currency flow.

(14:23):
Because while beingenergetically aligned is what
opens and receives the flow ofabundance, having solid systems
in place, 3D in this worldsystems, that's what actually
catches it, makes it manifestphysically, channels it,
sustains it.

(14:45):
You may not be of this world,but you are in this world, and
if you are playing the game ofself-employment, you need to be
just as focused when it comes tothe money as a mirror of all of
the other matrices of flow inyour life as the alignment
piece, the abundance piece, themindset piece with the other

(15:07):
half of the equation.
That is the systems, thepractices, the structure that
actually maintains that flowlike scaffolding, my favorite
metaphor, getting back to thewater and the river is the
understanding and the natureshown example that the river is

(15:27):
made possible by the banks thatsupport it.
Otherwise you just have a flood.
So even having lots of water,lots of money, if you don't have
the structures in place tointentionally and mindfully
catch it, channel it where it'smeant to go and sustain and grow
it.
You don't really have anythingyou can rely on.

(15:47):
And being able to rely on yourflow, your money flow of
abundance is where financialsecurity comes in.
And your role as the CEO/CFO atthe Boss Queen Chair at the
center of your business vehicle.
Is again, to be just as investedin the flow as the structure

(16:09):
that supports it.
I mentioned at the beginning ofthis episode, part of my
intention of the deep dive ofthis episode is to remind you
that whatever amount you'remaking is not a reflection of
your worth.
It's not a reflection of yoursuccess.
It's not a reflection ofanything other than where you

(16:30):
are right now, and that isalways going to shift too.
So it's not like you do thisonce you look in the mirror and
you're good.
Money is meant to be a living,breathing, dynamic, ever present
mirror for the self-employed tocontinue to notice where you're
blocked, where you're strayingfrom that natural path that's

(16:52):
there to serve and support you,and how to get back on track.
So sometimes the flow is flowingand sometimes it needs a little
extra TLC tending and lovingcare to get it back to good.
One thing that's so commoninside the container of cosmic
currency is that once somebodyactually looks in the mirror,

(17:15):
which is what we do in thisprogram, they can feel like
they're coming up short or likethey're a failure.
A lot of times there's a lotthat comes up emotionally to
actually be willing to look veryclearly at where you sit
financially right now.
Oftentimes you finally arehonest with yourself what the
gap is between what you'rebringing in and what your

(17:38):
responsibilities are going out.
But the other thing that's justas common in that space is the
transformation that it makespossible to finally take that
honest look.
It's a powerful thing to havethe real awareness of what's
going on because once you cansee it, you can start to see the
patterns and you can actuallyshift it.

(17:58):
Not to mention, when you letmoney be a mirror, as it's
intended to be, it ends up beingsuch a valuable, fun part of
your growth game.
If you're like me and you loveto grow and become a better
version of yourself to becomemore successful in business.
A lot of times there is aparallel.

(18:21):
You might notice that you'vebeen, because you're paying
attention, you notice thatyou've been overspending in your
business, there's some leakagethere.
You've been paying recurringmonthly for something you don't
even use, for example.
This may end up mirroring, unmetemotional needs or overgiving
unconsciously in yourrelationships.

(18:43):
And it's recursive.
That one might point back toyour money.
So it's an angle where so manypeople are avoidant of looking
at the mirror of money, but itends up being such a valuable
ally and missing piece in thematrix of mirrors that are all
of your reflections.
Ultimately, there's no suchthing as doing any of this

(19:04):
right.
If you take anything away fromthis episode, let it be that
your role and invitation andresponsibility as the steward of
your money isn't to make acertain amount.
It isn't for any tangible thingin particular, what your role
is, is to commit to regularattention given, time spent,

(19:29):
practices performed.
Just like in any relationship,it's about showing up for the
commitment that you've made toit and show up in the ways that
it needs you to, when it needsyou to.
Sometimes this might look like areassessment of what's out of
alignment.
It might look like an astrologyreading to get those codes and

(19:51):
that map back to what alignmentis for you.
It might look like some systemswork around what your regular
money practice is to optimize onthat.
It's never all the things allthe time, but it is a cycle and
a rhythm of checking in andtending these things so that you

(20:11):
stay in right relationship withthem.
Just like any relationship,sometimes the relationship is
just coasting.
Things are good, things areworking.
Sometimes you go through crunchyspots and you have to lean in
and put more effort into movingthrough.
There's all kinds of differentparts and phases and seasons of
the cycle, like in anyrelationship with money.

(20:33):
The thing is you were alwaysmeant to have one hand in each
world.
You are a double agent of sorts.
You are just as here andgrounded and incarnated into
this world to play the game ofbusiness here.
As you are to be connected withyour guides, your bigger

(20:54):
purpose, yourself as a vitalenergy system that aligns with
the deeper work, the lessvisible motivations, the strings
that are animating the servicethat you actually perform for
clients.
It's both when it comes to yourwork in the world, and it's both
when it comes to your abundantmoney flow.

(21:15):
If this conversation sparkedsomething in you, if you know
that you are meant to beconnected both with your cosmic
money codes that have the cluesto what alignment is uniquely
for you with abundance, and alsoto have a stellar solid
foundation of systems, earthly3D ways, the landing strip that

(21:40):
you actually make, sustain andgrow your money.
If you know it's time to embracesetting up said systems, but you
also know that if you don't doit in your way that aligns with
your energy, it just won'tstick.
Then you'll be pleased to know Iam creating something truly
exceptional for you.
My pivot after being a taxpreparer for almost a decade,

(22:01):
helping soul led creativeentrepreneurs to get right with
their money, get right withtheir compliance, get right with
their regular filing, and getout from under the concrete
ceiling that kept them undertheir fear and avoidance of
being a part of the system andthe money game as we know it.

(22:22):
I pivoted in two separatedirections, or at least in the
direction I pivoted in, i'vebeen nurturing and showing up
inside the container of twoseparate offerings.
Cosmic Currency, that was thepractical side of things.
All the things I wish myprevious clients knew that I
knew would empower them.

(22:43):
And Cosmic Cash Codes, the weeklong astrology reading where we
dove into what those parts ofyour chart are that show you
what your design is around moneyand how you can design a
business that feels reallyfulfilling for you to show up
for.
Honestly for me, knowing thebenefit and the beauty and the

(23:04):
value of them coming togetherand us being the bridge between,
they both felt like they weremissing something.
Cosmic Currency, it was so greatto be able to show up to support
people to get those practicalpieces dialed in.
But it missed that fun, deeper,more expansive alignment piece

(23:26):
that comes from the astrologicalside of things.
Cosmic Cash Codes was so fun togeek out on those together.
But when somebody didn't thenwant to ground into the
teachings of Cosmic Currency, Ifelt like I was doing a
disservice just to geek out onthe fun cosmic part, but not be

(23:46):
able to provide the tools andthe resources and the practices
to be able to actually channeland manifest more abundance into
your life and business.
All that to say there issomething new in the works.
It is going to be, not just acombination of both, but
something that is so muchgreater than the sum of those

(24:08):
two parts.
Something I am so excited to beopening the doors to soon.
I am happy to announce that asof this episode, the wait list
is open.
That clock is ticking.
If you want to get on the waitlist to get first dibs, be the
first to hear when theannouncement drops, get the
lowest early bird pricinginvestment opportunity to get in

(24:33):
and some extra special bonuses.
Definitely go get on the waitlist, it's
CosmicB.link/currency.
Give me your name, email, andbirthday so I can look up your
sun sign and I will be sure tolet you know as soon as there is
more to share.
Front facing on everything, Ihave been lovingly cultivating

(24:55):
behind the scenes.
If you missed that link, you canfind it in the show notes.
I hope that this episode hassupported you to broaden and
expand the tool that money isintended to be as a mirror of
your energy flow.
