(00:00):
Mercury's moonwalk's back inplay and all the blogs say stay
(00:04):
away.
Don't launch, don't sign.
Don't make big moves.
Just sit and wait till thingsimprove.
But what if slow was stillmomentum and chaos cracked the
next expansion?
What if the lag or misdirectionwas Mercury sending you a
notification.
To realign, revise, refresh totrade the polish for the flesh?
(00:28):
I'm not here to beg the skies.
I'm here to move, to test, totry.
So Mercury said, nah, and Isaid, go.
Let's see where this retrogradewants to flow.
Let's get clear on one thingreal quick, when it comes to the
kind of astrologer I am and theway that I embrace and use and
(00:48):
benefit from the tool ofastrology.
I do not check the stars, checkthe transits, check my app to
see what's going on, so that Ican know what to do or not to
do, to get some kind of externalauthority, tell me what I cannot
(01:12):
do.
That is not a way that I use thetool of astrology.
I've never been a big fan of thegood or bad really labeled
dichotomy for anything, butespecially with astrology, good
transits, bad transits reallymeans nothing to me.
Maybe it's because I have somuch Scorpio in me, so when it
(01:34):
comes to an aspect beingchallenging, I'm like, ugh,
bring it.
Maybe that's it, I don't know.
Maybe it's because of theAquarius in me that makes me a
rebel.
And I'm like, don't tell me howit's going to be.
I create my own reality.
Whatever it is, I have neverapproached or used astrology as
any kind of damning ordeterministic or in any way,
(02:00):
guidance that I'm going to letfuck with my flow basically.
And as far as I see it, it isnot here to hand out red lights
of any kind.
It is here to show me how tomove with the energy that's
present, not to wait for it tobehave or wait for things to be
favorable so that I do what Ifeel like doing.
(02:22):
So when this Mercury Retrograderolled in a few days ago, like
every other one, three times ayear, that I've experienced, I
didn't freeze, I didn't cancelthings.
I actually decided to doubledown and schedule a live free
training.
Which I'm going to tell you moreabout and I am so excited about.
(02:45):
And I did it during MercuryRetrograde.
Not only that though, not onlydid I not let it tell me, let
Mercury Retrograde tell me Iwasn't going to do this training
on that day, I also did it onpurpose.
And this episode is about whatI've learned, breaking the rules
when it comes to MercuryRetrograde and how you can
(03:08):
actually use it, and astrologyin general, to reclaim your
sovereignty, your rhythm, andyour power, instead of using it
as something to outsource yourpower to.
We are going to look at why Idon't use astrology to tell me
when to act and what I doinstead, what Mercury Retrograde
(03:29):
actually means and is for andwhat it's not here to do, the
deeper invitation behind thetech fails, the delays, any
messy misfires that may happen,why I actually scheduled a live
training during this MercuryRetrograde on purpose, what to
(03:50):
stay open to during thisretrograde in general, every
time it rolls around and how tospot your notifications, and how
this retrograde is opening thedoor to a bigger conversation
about money, timing, and cosmicdesign that I am so excited to
invite you to.
Let's dive in.
Firstly, I said it, and I'll sayit again, astrology is not meant
(04:14):
to tell you not to go.
It's not a red light, it's notmeant to tell you to stop.
It is an alignment tool, and Iknow this word gets thrown
around, but as far as I'mconcerned, it is a very powerful
one when we are talking aboutwhat I see as right relationship
with astrology.
Which is that we're not stoppingat red lights of bad transits or
(04:37):
unfavorable ones.
We're not going at green lightsof favorable cosmic weather.
It really is just about beingaware of what the matrix or
constellation of archetypes andenergy is, really in the present
moment I'll say I'm not a hugefan necessarily of predicting or
(04:57):
projecting too far into thefuture.
I love astrology as a tool tounderstand the moment when I'm
in something that feels big, andespecially to look at the past
when something's gone down andgive it that cosmic context.
In any case, it is all aboutworking with the weather.
So whether that is the way thatI'm framing the timing that I'm
(05:20):
choosing around future plans.
Whether that is in the momentorienting myself, aligning
myself through my awareness ofthe waves that I'm surfing, so
that I can show up accordingly.
Or whether it's the past and howI am reframing what happened
based on the weather that wasanimating me, or that I was
(05:43):
being influenced by whenwhatever happened happened.
Whatever it is, whether it'sfuture planning, present
orientation, or the stories youtell yourself about your past,
the point is not to outsourceyour decision making, your
presence, your positioning basedon the transits.
(06:05):
It's about attuning to them.
In this way, alignment, the waythat I frame and understand and
live by it is all aboutresponsiveness, not adherence
necessarily.
When it comes to MercuryRetrograde specifically, again,
I keep saying this over andover, it is not a red light.
(06:25):
The way you've heard it talkedabout, don't do this, don't do
that, right?
It is a reroute and it is a hugemissed opportunity for so many
people.
Mercury governs your mentaloperating systems internally and
your tech systems as an externalprojection of that mental map.
(06:46):
So when it retrogrades, eventhough it may seem like chaos,
what's actually happening is, Italked about it already and I'm
going to continue with thismetaphor of notifications,
another way to think about it isit's like your cosmic dashboard
lighting up.
It's like a check engine lightcoming on, or in this case a
(07:06):
check operating system.
So when the slowdowns happen,when things don't happen as they
used to, when things aren'tflowing as expected, it's really
that you're getting thatnotification.
You're not being punished,right?
Mercury is not doing this toyou.
It's happening for you becausewhat it is pointing to is
opening up an invitation in avery particular area of your
(07:32):
internal or external operatingsystem, whether that's your
beliefs and thought patterns, oryour tech systems and stack.
It's an invitation for you toget curious, lean in, and
ultimately to update and rewirehow you think, organize,
communicate, and set up yourtech systems, for more
(07:54):
efficiency.
It's ultimately for the cause ofgetting more of what you want.
This brings me to the gift inthe glitches, which is that
those delays, those breakdowns,those things just not working
that make you want to pull yourhair out because they were
working before and it doesn'tmake any sense, are
notifications not obstacles orif they are obstacles, it is
(08:18):
that wisdom that the way forwardis through, and that there is
something there for you.
That friction that you feelsomething to remind you whenever
it happens, it's not somethingyou did wrong, you are not
failing.
It's that again, there is anopportunity to find a better way
in a very specific area of yourmental or tech map and the extra
(08:44):
spaciousness that is recommendedbecause you know that these
things are probably going tohappen, is to actually
deliberately and consciouslymeet it halfway to make room to
engage those reroutes when theywant to happen.
If you're listening to this andthinking, yeah, but it still
sucks.
Totally, it does still suck.
(09:06):
Especially though if you haven'tmade the extra time and if you
haven't allowed yourself to getcurious, but also to do this
enough times.
It's just one of those thingswhere you show yourself that,
wow, there really was a gemthere for me.
If you are not so frustratedthat you're not able to see it,
(09:27):
or if you just don't have thetime to go there.
Sometimes we're live, againwe'll see what happens in this
webinar that's coming up, butalso sometimes the stakes are
higher than others, right?
For example, if you are live andyour tech fails, or when it
comes to the realm of your moneyflow and the tech that supports
(09:52):
your revenue coming in, yourexpenses and investments being
paid and going out to supportthe things you need and rely on.
When it comes to money, thismight feel a little bit heavier
and a little bit harder to leaninto the curiosity when you
really needed that payment to gothrough.
And if you're feeling thatyou're not alone, I'm sure
(10:14):
you're not the only one thinkingthat right now in this episode,
and I totally feel you.
And for a second, let's talkabout what that money flow is,
because this is actually a bigpart of what I'm going to be
going more deeply into in thisupcoming live training, because
for so many people you are amagical manifester There's a
(10:34):
certain flow that you've come torely on and really frame as
something magical and positive,but you're starting to wonder if
it's actually supportive to youto just be in that moment to
moment flow that shows up like aconstant loop of little micro
stressors and panics to scrambleto call in what you need when
(10:55):
you need it.
Hoping everything is all goingto work out, which of course it
does, right?
Because you are a magicalmanifester, so the problem is
not your magic or your abilitiesaround manifestation.
The problem though might be thatyou've grown, you've changed,
and the way that you approachyour money flow hasn't changed
(11:16):
with you because it's no longerenough just to make what you
need when you need it.
You actually want more, you wantextra.
You want to be able to splurgeand save and invest in your
future or create a legacy foryour children.
As we grow up, our dreams getbigger, and we need more
structure and intention with theway we flow our money to be able
(11:39):
to support that co-creation.
Just like when MercuryRetrograde rolls around and
we're given opportunities toupgrade our operating systems
around our mental maps and ourtech systems, I am inviting you
to do something similar aroundyour relationship with money in
the free training that I'mhosting live tuesday at noon, PT
(12:02):
3:00 PM Eastern, called Bank ofthe Universe, to show you how to
make that transition from areactive, chaotic magic money
flow into a more intentional,structured financial flow, but
without losing that cosmic sparkthat makes you you, without
(12:23):
losing that magical component.
We are going to talk about howto set up your own cosmic bank
accounts for receiving, saving,splurging, investing, whatever
is important to you, and how toalign your approach to showing
up to tend it with your uniquedesign.
(12:44):
There's a reason why you'veeither avoided it like the
plague or any attempts, anythings that you've tried on for
size, feel too many sizes toosmall, and just weren't designed
for you, right?
They didn't work for you, sothey didn't stick.
You didn't stick around showingup for it, and you're right back
where you started.
So this is a baby bath watersituation.
(13:06):
There is a way to approach thiswhere you don't have to lose
your magic, but there are someavoidance patterns and some
serious mindset issues in thespiritual community, that need
to be addressed.
And I'm going to be doing thatduring this live webinar.
Yes, during Mercury Retrograde,actually, especially during
(13:27):
Mercury Retrograde.
I'm about to tell you why, but Iwant you to know that if this is
speaking to you and you haven'talready, go to cosmicB.link/bank
to reserve your spot, get thecalendar invite, and get
yourself set up to show up forthis incredible training.
If you show up live, you're alsogoing to get two things.
(13:50):
One, The Abundance FrequencyToolkit which includes astro
aligned affirmations for yourzodiac sign, plus the most epic
playlist that you may have heardme talk about, i'm going to
include that too.
And if you stay till the end,you're going to get a chance to
win a personalized Money CodeQuickies, which is a mini money
(14:13):
reading of your Cosmic CurrencyCodes.
So definitely worth getting yourname in the hat for that.
These things are incredible.
The feedback I'm getting aroundthis is so good.
That link again to go register,save your spot, or at least get
in the queue for the replay iscosmicB.link/bank I hope you'll
join me to ride this retrogradewave, because I'm going to tell
(14:36):
you exactly why now I scheduledthis during Mercury Retrograde,
or more to the point because asI said, I don't actually look at
the astrology of my future whenI make plans.
I stay present to my intuitionand all of my moving parts to
choose what feels right, andthen I go and look at the cosmic
(14:59):
weather, which often, and again,whether it's future, present, or
past ends up blowing my mindwith like, oh, duh, that makes
sense.
Which the way this actually wentdown, the inspiration for this
episode to specifically talkabout why I'm choosing to do
this tomorrow while Mercury isretrograde, a biz bestie asked
(15:19):
me, she's like, um, but wait,you're doing this on Mercury
Retrograde, what gives?
I told her exactly why I saw itas an incredible opportunity and
decided that this was one too,to tell you exactly why.
So it's not rebellion though, Imentioned that sometimes I
wonder why I have the approach Ido the various parts of my chart
(15:41):
that it might be, archetypesthat live inside me.
But no, in this case, it doesnot feel rooted in my Aquarian
rebellion, it truly feels rootedin resonance, and here's why.
This is the first of what willultimately be many iterations of
this webinar or one similar toit, but it's my first time
(16:05):
really doing one.
And that means there are so manylearning curves, on learning
curves, on learning curves rightnow.
Decisions, kinks to iron out,tweaks to make to what is
ultimately going to becomesomething that is repeatable
that I iterate on and do againin the future.
And also that I want to reallyrefine into something
(16:25):
spectacular to provide as anevergreen opt-in experience for
the ad funnel that I'm building.
So it occurred to me when Irealized that Mercury's
retrograde, that this isactually all too perfect because
what happens when Mercury'sretrograde?
Weird shit happens, right?
Things that, like I've beensaying, you wouldn't know or
(16:48):
notice otherwise, when thingsare just flowing like they
should.
Mercury Retrograde comes andpoints out the cracks, points
out what is not ideal, and Iactually really want and crave
that for this experience,because the whole purpose of it
is as the foundation andbirthing ground for the Virgo
(17:09):
refinement, and perfecting thatwill follow.
So, of course, I want to get asmuch information as possible, as
much rerouting as is necessaryto make this truly exceptional.
And here's the other part of it.
This is such a big undertaking.
Everything that I'm building aspart of this pivot, as part of
(17:30):
starting back from the bottomand building everything back up,
and there's a lot of pieces.
There's a lot of things thatneed to be built, a lot of
bricks that need to be laid.
Ultimately I realized I justneeded to take super messy
action.
I needed to give myself thecosmic permission to just let
(17:51):
this first version of all ofthis be messy on purpose and to
take the pressure off of myselffor it to be even something that
I like.
Although when I do that, I endup loving it because I love the
things that come through whenI'm in this space.
But the point is that I neededto move, I needed to go, I
(18:11):
needed to create, I needed toshow up, and I need to make this
real.
The point is not about success.
Success is a bonus.
Whatever that ends up lookinglike for this event, and I hope
you'll show up to be a part ofit because that will make it so
much more successful the morepeople that I'm able to reach
and transmit this to.
(18:31):
But in any case, baseline, myintention is set and will not
only be guaranteed, but willsurely be enhanced, amplified,
supported by Mercury pointingout the cracks.
Now, I'm not saying this mightnot get a little chaotic, who
knows, right?
The mystery is there, but what Iam saying is that I'm going to
(18:54):
take it in stride like I alwaysdo and basically be an example
of that even if things go wrong.
I'm very adaptable when it comesto tech.
I have a quick aquarion mind inthe third house.
That mental space for me lovesthe dance with Mercury.
So I'm here.
Let's bring it.
Let's go and I hope you'll gothere with me.
(19:16):
That said, let's back up alittle bit and I want to speak
to in general what to stay opento.
Obviously you probably, unlikeme, are not doing a live
training.
So I want to give some guidanceand leave you with some
perspective to take with youthrough the rest of this
retrograde and into future ones,which is in general to watch out
(19:39):
for those notifications whenthey come, and to really reframe
it as that, rather than thingsgoing wrong or glitches or
failures, that you're just beingnotified and to pattern
interrupt and correct yourselfif you have a tendency to go
somewhere else with it.
With frustration like, oh,Mercury's notifying me right
(19:59):
now.
Whether it's a tech issue that'scoming up, or old ideas
returning that feel conflicting,or people from your past, or
communication tension orpatterns like wrenches in the
gears, whatever it is, justnotice and realize like, oh, I'm
being notified right now anddon't force anything.
(20:21):
Create some spaciousness aroundwhat's happening.
Get observant and just notice,because not only are you being
notified there is something thatwants to come through for you if
you're paying attention and opento receive it.
Like I said before, retrogradesinvite responsiveness.
So be mindful and conscious inhow you respond to those moments
(20:43):
of notification and let therewrote happen again, get
curious, and I am telling you,not guaranteeing, but almost,
where you get redirected tomight actually be better than
what you had hoped happen.
When that gem comes throughwhere you find some new way to
do things, you will end uphaving that moment of like, oh
(21:05):
my God, I'm so glad that didn'tgo my way.
I'm so glad I found this new waybecause it's going to be so much
better.
I also want to give you a reallyspecific advice and feedback
when something like thishappens, call tech support.
If you are not somebody thatnormally does that, if you're
(21:26):
somebody that normally justGoogles or goes to chat and asks
for troubleshooting, let thenotification try it, try it for
one Mercury Retrograde cycle andjust see if this ends up being
as magical for you as it almostalways is for me, during Mercury
Retrograde.
Call tech support.
Have someone walk alongside youas you move through the issue.
(21:49):
Not only are you going to feelsupported instead of damned
around what's not working, whichis a total 180, u-turn, vibe
shift when things aren't goingyour way.
But here's the magical piece is,especially if you have this kind
of perspective, if you createthe opening that I'm talking
about, so many times for me, 9times out of 10 when I do this,
(22:12):
I end up learning from thatcustomer service representative,
something I like, magicalmissing piece, didn't even know,
not the reason I was calling forand not what I was asking about,
but something gets presencedduring that conversation, during
that support ticket, where I'mlike, no f-ing way, I had no
(22:34):
idea that was a thing.
I didn't know that was possible.
Oh my goodness, you just made myday.
And by the way, thank you forhelping me fix the thing.
I'm telling you, it's a thing,it happens if you go into it
expecting it.
Obviously, don't get let down ifit doesn't happen, but if you
make this a new way that yourespond to specifically tech
(22:56):
issues during Mercury Retrogradewhen they're happening, you will
get your mind blown eventually.
And with that, I'll span outeven further to the bigger
conversation that this is a partof, of how energy flows and
money is just a material versionof that and timing and
intentional design and how allof these things work together to
(23:18):
position you in the CEO seat ofthe co-creator ship that is your
business.
Mercury Retrograde showed me,especially through my unique
approach of it, how timing andsystems, in terms of how I've
developed, it's a way that Ilike to talk about automation.
What is my response?
(23:40):
At first, it was a patterninterrupt.
Eventually it became a systemand a way of life to respond the
way that I do when things gowrong during Mercury Retrograde,
and sovereignty.
Again, these things are nothappening to you.
They're happening with you, andif you come at it with the right
approach, they might even starthappening for you in a pronoia,
(24:02):
conspiracy, pro conspiracyworking for you, orchestrating
things in direct response tothings you didn't even know you
need, kind of magic.
That is exactly the space thatwe are going to be into in this
free training Bank of theUniverse tomorrow at noon
Pacific, or 3:00 PM Eastern, goto cosmicB.link/bank to reserve
(24:27):
your spot.
You are not going to want tomiss this.
We are going to explore exactlythat space, but with money,
which matters, right?
And if you're thinking these aretwo totally different arenas,
then this training was builtspecifically for you.
Because yes, there are cosmicprinciples, natural law,
(24:47):
financial compliance of thisworld, things that we need to
honor, and we are absolutelygoing to look at those.
But there is also so muchflexibility in how you are able
to move, in life of course, butwith your money moves too.
When you actually move with yourmoney in alignment with your
(25:07):
design, a whole nother level,especially if you're somebody
that's been avoiding this stuff.
We're going to bridge thesethings back together.
So if this retrograde hasstirred up any resistance or
readiness or wherever you are onthat spectrum right now, take a
moment, commit to being herewith me tomorrow and let's move
(25:29):
with it together.
If you take nothing else fromthis episode, this is your
reminder as we head into thethick of Mercury Retrograde,
that you do not need the starsto say yes before you make
moves.
You just need to know how tolisten and how to respond, and
how to create spaciousness whenthose notifications land.
(25:51):
Because sometimes and oftentimesthe delay is actually the
direction.
The glitch is actually the greenlight to this way or something
better.
Sometimes the weird timing isexactly the portal you've been
avoiding because it asks you totrust before you have proof.
(26:14):
To get curious before you knowwhere it's taking you, and if
you are ready to bring that kindof perspective to your money
life too, to stop waiting forperfect timing or to force
yourself into something that wasnever designed for you and start
flowing in alignment with yourdesign, come join us tomorrow at
(26:36):
Bank of the Universe, noon pt,at cosmicB.link/bank to get your
spot, get the link, get it onthe calendar, and this
retrograde is already showingyou where the cracks are.
If this retrograde is alreadymessing with you, if it's
already showing you some of thecracks in your foundation, let's
(26:58):
meet, let's build something thatcan truly hold the vision you
have for your financial future.
I hope to see you there and ifyou're listening to this after
the air of the free training,don't worry, the replay will be
made available eventually.
So keep checking back to thatlink, cosmicb.link/bank.
Mercury's moonwalk's back inplay and all the blogs say stay
(00:04):
away.
Don't launch, don't sign.
Don't make big moves.
Just sit and wait till thingsimprove.
But what if slow was stillmomentum and chaos cracked the
next expansion?
What if the lag or misdirectionwas Mercury sending you a
notification.
To realign, revise, refresh totrade the polish for the flesh?
(00:28):
I'm not here to beg the skies.
I'm here to move, to test, totry.
So Mercury said, nah, and Isaid, go.
Let's see where this retrogradewants to flow.
Let's get clear on one thingreal quick, when it comes to the
kind of astrologer I am and theway that I embrace and use and
(00:48):
benefit from the tool ofastrology.
I do not check the stars, checkthe transits, check my app to
see what's going on, so that Ican know what to do or not to
do, to get some kind of externalauthority, tell me what I cannot
(01:12):
do.
That is not a way that I use thetool of astrology.
I've never been a big fan of thegood or bad really labeled
dichotomy for anything, butespecially with astrology, good
transits, bad transits reallymeans nothing to me.
Maybe it's because I have somuch Scorpio in me, so when it
(01:34):
comes to an aspect beingchallenging, I'm like, ugh,
bring it.
Maybe that's it, I don't know.
Maybe it's because of theAquarius in me that makes me a
rebel.
And I'm like, don't tell me howit's going to be.
I create my own reality.
Whatever it is, I have neverapproached or used astrology as
any kind of damning ordeterministic or in any way,
(02:00):
guidance that I'm going to letfuck with my flow basically.
And as far as I see it, it isnot here to hand out red lights
of any kind.
It is here to show me how tomove with the energy that's
present, not to wait for it tobehave or wait for things to be
favorable so that I do what Ifeel like doing.
(02:22):
So when this Mercury Retrograderolled in a few days ago, like
every other one, three times ayear, that I've experienced, I
didn't freeze, I didn't cancelthings.
I actually decided to doubledown and schedule a live free
training.
Which I'm going to tell you moreabout and I am so excited about.
(02:45):
And I did it during MercuryRetrograde.
Not only that though, not onlydid I not let it tell me, let
Mercury Retrograde tell me Iwasn't going to do this training
on that day, I also did it onpurpose.
And this episode is about whatI've learned, breaking the rules
when it comes to MercuryRetrograde and how you can
(03:08):
actually use it, and astrologyin general, to reclaim your
sovereignty, your rhythm, andyour power, instead of using it
as something to outsource yourpower to.
We are going to look at why Idon't use astrology to tell me
when to act and what I doinstead, what Mercury Retrograde
(03:29):
actually means and is for andwhat it's not here to do, the
deeper invitation behind thetech fails, the delays, any
messy misfires that may happen,why I actually scheduled a live
training during this MercuryRetrograde on purpose, what to
(03:50):
stay open to during thisretrograde in general, every
time it rolls around and how tospot your notifications, and how
this retrograde is opening thedoor to a bigger conversation
about money, timing, and cosmicdesign that I am so excited to
invite you to.
Let's dive in.
Firstly, I said it, and I'll sayit again, astrology is not meant
(04:14):
to tell you not to go.
It's not a red light, it's notmeant to tell you to stop.
It is an alignment tool, and Iknow this word gets thrown
around, but as far as I'mconcerned, it is a very powerful
one when we are talking aboutwhat I see as right relationship
with astrology.
Which is that we're not stoppingat red lights of bad transits or
(04:37):
unfavorable ones.
We're not going at green lightsof favorable cosmic weather.
It really is just about beingaware of what the matrix or
constellation of archetypes andenergy is, really in the present
moment I'll say I'm not a hugefan necessarily of predicting or
(04:57):
projecting too far into thefuture.
I love astrology as a tool tounderstand the moment when I'm
in something that feels big, andespecially to look at the past
when something's gone down andgive it that cosmic context.
In any case, it is all aboutworking with the weather.
So whether that is the way thatI'm framing the timing that I'm
(05:20):
choosing around future plans.
Whether that is in the momentorienting myself, aligning
myself through my awareness ofthe waves that I'm surfing, so
that I can show up accordingly.
Or whether it's the past and howI am reframing what happened
based on the weather that wasanimating me, or that I was
(05:43):
being influenced by whenwhatever happened happened.
Whatever it is, whether it'sfuture planning, present
orientation, or the stories youtell yourself about your past,
the point is not to outsourceyour decision making, your
presence, your positioning basedon the transits.
(06:05):
It's about attuning to them.
In this way, alignment, the waythat I frame and understand and
live by it is all aboutresponsiveness, not adherence
necessarily.
When it comes to MercuryRetrograde specifically, again,
I keep saying this over andover, it is not a red light.
(06:25):
The way you've heard it talkedabout, don't do this, don't do
that, right?
It is a reroute and it is a hugemissed opportunity for so many
people.
Mercury governs your mentaloperating systems internally and
your tech systems as an externalprojection of that mental map.
(06:46):
So when it retrogrades, eventhough it may seem like chaos,
what's actually happening is, Italked about it already and I'm
going to continue with thismetaphor of notifications,
another way to think about it isit's like your cosmic dashboard
lighting up.
It's like a check engine lightcoming on, or in this case a
(07:06):
check operating system.
So when the slowdowns happen,when things don't happen as they
used to, when things aren'tflowing as expected, it's really
that you're getting thatnotification.
You're not being punished,right?
Mercury is not doing this toyou.
It's happening for you becausewhat it is pointing to is
opening up an invitation in avery particular area of your
(07:32):
internal or external operatingsystem, whether that's your
beliefs and thought patterns, oryour tech systems and stack.
It's an invitation for you toget curious, lean in, and
ultimately to update and rewirehow you think, organize,
communicate, and set up yourtech systems, for more
(07:54):
efficiency.
It's ultimately for the cause ofgetting more of what you want.
This brings me to the gift inthe glitches, which is that
those delays, those breakdowns,those things just not working
that make you want to pull yourhair out because they were
working before and it doesn'tmake any sense, are
notifications not obstacles orif they are obstacles, it is
(08:18):
that wisdom that the way forwardis through, and that there is
something there for you.
That friction that you feelsomething to remind you whenever
it happens, it's not somethingyou did wrong, you are not
failing.
It's that again, there is anopportunity to find a better way
in a very specific area of yourmental or tech map and the extra
(08:44):
spaciousness that is recommendedbecause you know that these
things are probably going tohappen, is to actually
deliberately and consciouslymeet it halfway to make room to
engage those reroutes when theywant to happen.
If you're listening to this andthinking, yeah, but it still
sucks.
Totally, it does still suck.
(09:06):
Especially though if you haven'tmade the extra time and if you
haven't allowed yourself to getcurious, but also to do this
enough times.
It's just one of those thingswhere you show yourself that,
wow, there really was a gemthere for me.
If you are not so frustratedthat you're not able to see it,
(09:27):
or if you just don't have thetime to go there.
Sometimes we're live, againwe'll see what happens in this
webinar that's coming up, butalso sometimes the stakes are
higher than others, right?
For example, if you are live andyour tech fails, or when it
comes to the realm of your moneyflow and the tech that supports
(09:52):
your revenue coming in, yourexpenses and investments being
paid and going out to supportthe things you need and rely on.
When it comes to money, thismight feel a little bit heavier
and a little bit harder to leaninto the curiosity when you
really needed that payment to gothrough.
And if you're feeling thatyou're not alone, I'm sure
(10:14):
you're not the only one thinkingthat right now in this episode,
and I totally feel you.
And for a second, let's talkabout what that money flow is,
because this is actually a bigpart of what I'm going to be
going more deeply into in thisupcoming live training, because
for so many people you are amagical manifester There's a
(10:34):
certain flow that you've come torely on and really frame as
something magical and positive,but you're starting to wonder if
it's actually supportive to youto just be in that moment to
moment flow that shows up like aconstant loop of little micro
stressors and panics to scrambleto call in what you need when
(10:55):
you need it.
Hoping everything is all goingto work out, which of course it
does, right?
Because you are a magicalmanifester, so the problem is
not your magic or your abilitiesaround manifestation.
The problem though might be thatyou've grown, you've changed,
and the way that you approachyour money flow hasn't changed
(11:16):
with you because it's no longerenough just to make what you
need when you need it.
You actually want more, you wantextra.
You want to be able to splurgeand save and invest in your
future or create a legacy foryour children.
As we grow up, our dreams getbigger, and we need more
structure and intention with theway we flow our money to be able
(11:39):
to support that co-creation.
Just like when MercuryRetrograde rolls around and
we're given opportunities toupgrade our operating systems
around our mental maps and ourtech systems, I am inviting you
to do something similar aroundyour relationship with money in
the free training that I'mhosting live tuesday at noon, PT
(12:02):
3:00 PM Eastern, called Bank ofthe Universe, to show you how to
make that transition from areactive, chaotic magic money
flow into a more intentional,structured financial flow, but
without losing that cosmic sparkthat makes you you, without
(12:23):
losing that magical component.
We are going to talk about howto set up your own cosmic bank
accounts for receiving, saving,splurging, investing, whatever
is important to you, and how toalign your approach to showing
up to tend it with your uniquedesign.
(12:44):
There's a reason why you'veeither avoided it like the
plague or any attempts, anythings that you've tried on for
size, feel too many sizes toosmall, and just weren't designed
for you, right?
They didn't work for you, sothey didn't stick.
You didn't stick around showingup for it, and you're right back
where you started.
So this is a baby bath watersituation.
(13:06):
There is a way to approach thiswhere you don't have to lose
your magic, but there are someavoidance patterns and some
serious mindset issues in thespiritual community, that need
to be addressed.
And I'm going to be doing thatduring this live webinar.
Yes, during Mercury Retrograde,actually, especially during
(13:27):
Mercury Retrograde.
I'm about to tell you why, but Iwant you to know that if this is
speaking to you and you haven'talready, go to cosmicB.link/bank
to reserve your spot, get thecalendar invite, and get
yourself set up to show up forthis incredible training.
If you show up live, you're alsogoing to get two things.
(13:50):
One, The Abundance FrequencyToolkit which includes astro
aligned affirmations for yourzodiac sign, plus the most epic
playlist that you may have heardme talk about, i'm going to
include that too.
And if you stay till the end,you're going to get a chance to
win a personalized Money CodeQuickies, which is a mini money
(14:13):
reading of your Cosmic CurrencyCodes.
So definitely worth getting yourname in the hat for that.
These things are incredible.
The feedback I'm getting aroundthis is so good.
That link again to go register,save your spot, or at least get
in the queue for the replay iscosmicB.link/bank I hope you'll
join me to ride this retrogradewave, because I'm going to tell
(14:36):
you exactly why now I scheduledthis during Mercury Retrograde,
or more to the point because asI said, I don't actually look at
the astrology of my future whenI make plans.
I stay present to my intuitionand all of my moving parts to
choose what feels right, andthen I go and look at the cosmic
(14:59):
weather, which often, and again,whether it's future, present, or
past ends up blowing my mindwith like, oh, duh, that makes
sense.
Which the way this actually wentdown, the inspiration for this
episode to specifically talkabout why I'm choosing to do
this tomorrow while Mercury isretrograde, a biz bestie asked
(15:19):
me, she's like, um, but wait,you're doing this on Mercury
Retrograde, what gives?
I told her exactly why I saw itas an incredible opportunity and
decided that this was one too,to tell you exactly why.
So it's not rebellion though, Imentioned that sometimes I
wonder why I have the approach Ido the various parts of my chart
(15:41):
that it might be, archetypesthat live inside me.
But no, in this case, it doesnot feel rooted in my Aquarian
rebellion, it truly feels rootedin resonance, and here's why.
This is the first of what willultimately be many iterations of
this webinar or one similar toit, but it's my first time
(16:05):
really doing one.
And that means there are so manylearning curves, on learning
curves, on learning curves rightnow.
Decisions, kinks to iron out,tweaks to make to what is
ultimately going to becomesomething that is repeatable
that I iterate on and do againin the future.
And also that I want to reallyrefine into something
(16:25):
spectacular to provide as anevergreen opt-in experience for
the ad funnel that I'm building.
So it occurred to me when Irealized that Mercury's
retrograde, that this isactually all too perfect because
what happens when Mercury'sretrograde?
Weird shit happens, right?
Things that, like I've beensaying, you wouldn't know or
(16:48):
notice otherwise, when thingsare just flowing like they
should.
Mercury Retrograde comes andpoints out the cracks, points
out what is not ideal, and Iactually really want and crave
that for this experience,because the whole purpose of it
is as the foundation andbirthing ground for the Virgo
(17:09):
refinement, and perfecting thatwill follow.
So, of course, I want to get asmuch information as possible, as
much rerouting as is necessaryto make this truly exceptional.
And here's the other part of it.
This is such a big undertaking.
Everything that I'm building aspart of this pivot, as part of
(17:30):
starting back from the bottomand building everything back up,
and there's a lot of pieces.
There's a lot of things thatneed to be built, a lot of
bricks that need to be laid.
Ultimately I realized I justneeded to take super messy
action.
I needed to give myself thecosmic permission to just let
(17:51):
this first version of all ofthis be messy on purpose and to
take the pressure off of myselffor it to be even something that
I like.
Although when I do that, I endup loving it because I love the
things that come through whenI'm in this space.
But the point is that I neededto move, I needed to go, I
(18:11):
needed to create, I needed toshow up, and I need to make this
real.
The point is not about success.
Success is a bonus.
Whatever that ends up lookinglike for this event, and I hope
you'll show up to be a part ofit because that will make it so
much more successful the morepeople that I'm able to reach
and transmit this to.
(18:31):
But in any case, baseline, myintention is set and will not
only be guaranteed, but willsurely be enhanced, amplified,
supported by Mercury pointingout the cracks.
Now, I'm not saying this mightnot get a little chaotic, who
knows, right?
The mystery is there, but what Iam saying is that I'm going to
(18:54):
take it in stride like I alwaysdo and basically be an example
of that even if things go wrong.
I'm very adaptable when it comesto tech.
I have a quick aquarion mind inthe third house.
That mental space for me lovesthe dance with Mercury.
So I'm here.
Let's bring it.
Let's go and I hope you'll gothere with me.
(19:16):
That said, let's back up alittle bit and I want to speak
to in general what to stay opento.
Obviously you probably, unlikeme, are not doing a live
training.
So I want to give some guidanceand leave you with some
perspective to take with youthrough the rest of this
retrograde and into future ones,which is in general to watch out
(19:39):
for those notifications whenthey come, and to really reframe
it as that, rather than thingsgoing wrong or glitches or
failures, that you're just beingnotified and to pattern
interrupt and correct yourselfif you have a tendency to go
somewhere else with it.
With frustration like, oh,Mercury's notifying me right
(19:59):
now.
Whether it's a tech issue that'scoming up, or old ideas
returning that feel conflicting,or people from your past, or
communication tension orpatterns like wrenches in the
gears, whatever it is, justnotice and realize like, oh, I'm
being notified right now anddon't force anything.
(20:21):
Create some spaciousness aroundwhat's happening.
Get observant and just notice,because not only are you being
notified there is something thatwants to come through for you if
you're paying attention and opento receive it.
Like I said before, retrogradesinvite responsiveness.
So be mindful and conscious inhow you respond to those moments
(20:43):
of notification and let therewrote happen again, get
curious, and I am telling you,not guaranteeing, but almost,
where you get redirected tomight actually be better than
what you had hoped happen.
When that gem comes throughwhere you find some new way to
do things, you will end uphaving that moment of like, oh
(21:05):
my God, I'm so glad that didn'tgo my way.
I'm so glad I found this new waybecause it's going to be so much
better.
I also want to give you a reallyspecific advice and feedback
when something like thishappens, call tech support.
If you are not somebody thatnormally does that, if you're
(21:26):
somebody that normally justGoogles or goes to chat and asks
for troubleshooting, let thenotification try it, try it for
one Mercury Retrograde cycle andjust see if this ends up being
as magical for you as it almostalways is for me, during Mercury
Retrograde.
Call tech support.
Have someone walk alongside youas you move through the issue.
(21:49):
Not only are you going to feelsupported instead of damned
around what's not working, whichis a total 180, u-turn, vibe
shift when things aren't goingyour way.
But here's the magical piece is,especially if you have this kind
of perspective, if you createthe opening that I'm talking
about, so many times for me, 9times out of 10 when I do this,
(22:12):
I end up learning from thatcustomer service representative,
something I like, magicalmissing piece, didn't even know,
not the reason I was calling forand not what I was asking about,
but something gets presencedduring that conversation, during
that support ticket, where I'mlike, no f-ing way, I had no
(22:34):
idea that was a thing.
I didn't know that was possible.
Oh my goodness, you just made myday.
And by the way, thank you forhelping me fix the thing.
I'm telling you, it's a thing,it happens if you go into it
expecting it.
Obviously, don't get let down ifit doesn't happen, but if you
make this a new way that yourespond to specifically tech
(22:56):
issues during Mercury Retrogradewhen they're happening, you will
get your mind blown eventually.
And with that, I'll span outeven further to the bigger
conversation that this is a partof, of how energy flows and
money is just a material versionof that and timing and
intentional design and how allof these things work together to
(23:18):
position you in the CEO seat ofthe co-creator ship that is your
business.
Mercury Retrograde showed me,especially through my unique
approach of it, how timing andsystems, in terms of how I've
developed, it's a way that Ilike to talk about automation.
What is my response?
(23:40):
At first, it was a patterninterrupt.
Eventually it became a systemand a way of life to respond the
way that I do when things gowrong during Mercury Retrograde,
and sovereignty.
Again, these things are nothappening to you.
They're happening with you, andif you come at it with the right
approach, they might even starthappening for you in a pronoia,
(24:02):
conspiracy, pro conspiracyworking for you, orchestrating
things in direct response tothings you didn't even know you
need, kind of magic.
That is exactly the space thatwe are going to be into in this
free training Bank of theUniverse tomorrow at noon
Pacific, or 3:00 PM Eastern, goto cosmicB.link/bank to reserve
(24:27):
your spot.
You are not going to want tomiss this.
We are going to explore exactlythat space, but with money,
which matters, right?
And if you're thinking these aretwo totally different arenas,
then this training was builtspecifically for you.
Because yes, there are cosmicprinciples, natural law,
(24:47):
financial compliance of thisworld, things that we need to
honor, and we are absolutelygoing to look at those.
But there is also so muchflexibility in how you are able
to move, in life of course, butwith your money moves too.
When you actually move with yourmoney in alignment with your
(25:07):
design, a whole nother level,especially if you're somebody
that's been avoiding this stuff.
We're going to bridge thesethings back together.
So if this retrograde hasstirred up any resistance or
readiness or wherever you are onthat spectrum right now, take a
moment, commit to being herewith me tomorrow and let's move
(25:29):
with it together.
If you take nothing else fromthis episode, this is your
reminder as we head into thethick of Mercury Retrograde,
that you do not need the starsto say yes before you make
moves.
You just need to know how tolisten and how to respond, and
how to create spaciousness whenthose notifications land.
(25:51):
Because sometimes and oftentimesthe delay is actually the
direction.
The glitch is actually the greenlight to this way or something
better.
Sometimes the weird timing isexactly the portal you've been
avoiding because it asks you totrust before you have proof.
(26:14):
To get curious before you knowwhere it's taking you, and if
you are ready to bring that kindof perspective to your money
life too, to stop waiting forperfect timing or to force
yourself into something that wasnever designed for you and start
flowing in alignment with yourdesign, come join us tomorrow at
(26:36):
Bank of the Universe, noon pt,at cosmicB.link/bank to get your
spot, get the link, get it onthe calendar, and this
retrograde is already showingyou where the cracks are.
If this retrograde is alreadymessing with you, if it's
already showing you some of thecracks in your foundation, let's
(26:58):
meet, let's build something thatcan truly hold the vision you
have for your financial future.
I hope to see you there and ifyou're listening to this after
the air of the free training,don't worry, the replay will be
made available eventually.
So keep checking back to thatlink, cosmicb.link/bank.
