(00:00):
You say you want flow, butyou're stuck at the start.
(00:02):
Half lit, half dreaming, halftrusting your heart.
You tried to play chill, but thecoals wouldn't lie.
Your vision kept sparking,refusing to die.
They told you to wait, to align,to receive, but waiting gets
weary when you don't believe.
You've journaled, you'vevisioned, you've saged every
room, but nothing can move ifyou don't make it move.
(00:24):
Still, action alone, that's afast track to ash, the hustle
won't hold if it's just chasingcash.
So what if the fuel you've beenneeding to find isn't more
effort, but a motive that'saligned?
The truth is you're not lazy,you're just not yet lit.
But once you're in flow, everystep will fit.
If you're ready to burn with ahunger for more, let's open the
(00:46):
matchbook and walk through thedoor.
This is the first of a five partseries to move through all of
the elements to get back tobasics of what these different
elements are that want to moveand flow through us, through our
business, out into our world,animate us, be in relationship,
(01:11):
in the dance with us so that weactually feel the
multidimensional phenomenon thatis flow.
We are kicking it off this weekwith fire, and this one's for
the ones who have been toldthey're too much, too ambitious,
too inconsistent, or toodistracted to follow through.
(01:35):
Because I want to present to youthe alternative narrative.
What if you're not actuallylazy, scattered, broken?
What if There's actually nothingat all wrong with you, but when
it comes to the fire element,you're just not lit yet, to be
able to be consistently ridingthe warm, bright, motivating
(02:02):
waves that are the fire elementmoving through you, so you end
up sputtering and starting, youend up riding what feel like
manic waves of inspiration onlyfor them to fall again because
they were circumstantial.
What if it's that you're notdistracted, you are just in
absolute right relationship withfire, moving your attention and
(02:24):
energy around trying to reachand find it again, like a bug to
a flame, that's kind of a weirdmetaphor here, but like a person
to a campfire, right?
It draws us, it pulls us towardit, and if something that we are
pursuing starts to feel dead orcold, we are naturally going to
feel distracted or non-committalor inconsistent, only because we
(02:48):
are moving, leaning, turning tofind the flame and the fire
again.
This episode is your invitationto reframe strategy as a sacred
way to position your fire, a usecase of your fire, something
that you need to point your firetoward so that it actually feels
(03:13):
sacred, feels aligned, feelsconnected to your source.
And remember, aligned firedoesn't and cannot burn you out,
it actually brings you back hometo yourself.
So let's talk about what fuelsreal aligned action and what
keeps your fire alive.
In this episode, we are going tolook at why aligned action is
(03:38):
the flame that frees you, thedifference between surface
motivation and soul-litmotivation, how to stop
gaslighting your ambition in thename of however you've been
defining flow, the real reasonyou stall out, and how to
reignite it with the devotion,why money is not evil, and what
(04:00):
happens when your fire meetsyour values, and how to use your
natural abundance style as asparked, not a script, so you
continue to feel alive.
My first point here is probablygoing to land as a little bit of
a duh, but also maybe a welcomedreminder as part of this
conversation, because we've allhad experiences in the past
(04:24):
where we've felt burnt out.
Where we felt like we're forcingourself into actions that don't
feel like ours, either becausethey no longer fit anymore or
because we're trying to modelourselves after somebody else
who is not designed like we are,or because you simply weren't
honoring your natural cycles andyou tried to pull when the
(04:49):
cosmic tide said to push.
Whatever it is.
We've all had experiences whereaction has felt exhausting and
maybe we have some kind ofresistance to it now.
Maybe your relationship to beingin the flow is being in a more
(05:11):
passive, receptive, watery typespace as some kind of
compensation.
Where you're like, well, I'm notgoing to push myself into
burnout, into overwhelm again,i'm going to lay low, keep the
flow slower, and make sure thatI don't get carried away in a
(05:31):
direction that takes me as faraway from myself as I've ended
up in times past.
We all have our own specificstory, but what I want to
highlight here is a bit of ababy bathwater dynamic and
duality, where of course itwasn't the action itself that
was the problem.
Aligned action is everything interms of what makes us feel on
(05:55):
point, lit up, alive.
However, it was a matter ofmisalignment, a matter of
misaligned action, and notcatching it soon enough before
it carried you away.
The thing is, when you areconnected to your source and
your vision, that elemental fireaspect of existence, that is our
(06:18):
divine aligned motivation,right?
It's what connects us to thebigger picture, the bigger
meaning.
If you think of it as lifeitself and the sun and solar
energy, providing us the heat,the warmth, the light force that
motivates us to continue on, toexpand, to grow.
(06:39):
This is all such primal stuff.
It's the spark that putsanything into motion, and yours
is unique.
Your filter, your flavor, theway that it shows up, the
visions that it connects to isvery uniquely yours.
Sometimes it's tricky thoughbecause we see other people
living in and being warmed inand bathed in theirs, and it
(07:02):
feels warm to us too, by proxy.
And there's something about itthat's attractive, that looks
good on them, looks good on her.
I'm going to emulate and modelthat myself, i'm going to
imitate it.
For a moment there's a high,there's always a high at the
beginning when something'sdifferent, something's novel,
something seems to be working orpulling us out of the trap of
(07:24):
what wasn't working for us.
But then inevitably, eventuallyit stops working for us because
it is not aligned with ourdesign.
That's why when you're actuallyconnected with and aligned with
your source, your vision, yourunique fire tap, fire feels like
freedom.
It doesn't feel like pressure.
(07:44):
It doesn't feel like we're frogin hot boiling water, it's not a
heat that forces us to quickenour movement.
It is a force that invites usthat we can't help but want to
ride in its direction.
Fire is also what motivates usto act.
If you are feeling in avoidance,often that is a signal that you
(08:09):
have been forcing, not flowing,and there's a recalibration that
needs to take place with yourunique access to fire.
Because fire brings clarity, itburns off what's false, what's
not true, and it initiateswhat's real and what's truly
ours.
So let's talk about thedifference of those two sides of
(08:30):
what motivates us between themore surface motivation and the
true soul centered soul base,soul lit movement.
If your strategy feels driven byurgency, by comparison, or by
fear, it will fizzle out, like amatch that we're lighting that
(08:52):
flames up at first and theneventually goes out entirely.
If you are not sourcing fromwithin, from your access to
fire, from the way that you aredesigned to genuinely,
authentically feel lit up, itwill not last, it's temporary.
So it'll take you on a rollercoaster ride of sometimes
(09:14):
feeling super motivated andsometimes absolutely crashing.
Because all that stuff isoutside in, but soul lit
movement and motivation comesfrom the inside out and it's
often subtler and quieter, butmore sustaining.
In the metaphor of lighting thematch and it burning out, having
(09:34):
that intense flash and flame atthe beginning, but it not
lasting long at all, here we'retalking about that sustainable,
slow burn that's also in balancewith the other elements that has
some wood, some earth to sustainit that is in right relationship
with air, that's not soggy-edout by water, right?
(09:57):
There's this right relationshipwhere you can have a sustainable
flame that's warm.
Which is what you needsustainably.
How long can you stand by asuper hot burning fire?
Not very long before you startto sweat or need to step away.
It's that perfect temperature,that warmth that keeps you the
temperature that you need to beto stay your course and warms
(10:21):
your environment to be able toplay that long game and stick
around.
It feels different.
It does feel like a bit ofurgency, at least in my
experience of it, but more likethat passion filled, like ugh, I
just need to act on this rightnow, now is the moment.
Not that outside and pressure oflike, oh God, I just need to get
(10:44):
this done, I need to, I need to,I need to, I need to.
Very different kinds of desire.
One is forced and one is trulysourced from your own internal
rhythms inside out of like,there is no other wave I would
rather be riding right now.
When it comes to the elements,there's no straightforward, what
do you look at in your chart,everybody's elemental
(11:07):
composition is different,located in different places.
It's so much more of asubjective and individual thing
to look at your chart to seewhat's up with you and fire.
One thing is for sure to look atyour sun sign, what language,
what motivation does your solarenergy move through to you?
(11:30):
What is that energetic home basethrough which you first met the
sun?
Because that's going to havesuch big clues for you of how
your fire wants to move throughyou.
This is something in CosmicCurrency that we call your CEO
Code.
It's how we start the wholeexperience because you need to
be centered in your CEO seat ofpower and leadership to be able
(11:55):
to choose from a place of thatembodied, authentic motivation,
where you're going next, wherethe transformation will lead
you.
When you're centered in thatsolar CEO seat of fire and know
where your source energy springsfrom and through you out into
(12:15):
your creations, any action thatyou take is honoring your design
and so becomes a devotional act,not something that drains you.
So now how can you stopgaslighting your ambition and
snubbing out your fire in thename of how you've been defining
flow up until now?
(12:35):
Because I think it is all toocommon to think about flow as
water, the opposite of fire, andto think about flow as a much
more, as I said before,receptive, passive surrendered
state.
In this way, many in thespiritual world and community
(12:56):
have mistaken stillness forsafety, have favored the other
side of the coin of being moresettled and soft and feminine.
There's been this huge,recently, historically shift of
the pendulum swing back to thefeminine, and especially in
(13:17):
business, infusing the feminineprinciples back into business to
bring us into balance so thatwe're not betraying ourselves.
Over masculinizing ourselves andour process to be able to be
business owners, and that is sorighteous and a sign of the
times.
However, we have to be mindfulof not swinging all the way to
(13:40):
the other side and losing andgetting far from that balance
point that motivated us to bringthis part back into the mix in
this way in the first place.
Because avoiding your firestifles your life force just as
much as not letting the femininewatery flow to move through you
too.
Here we have another baby bathwater conundrum.
(14:03):
I've gotta come up with abetter, more, uh, tasteful and
on brand version of thatmetaphor, note to self.
But for now,"baby" being theright relationship to the
masculine element of fire inyour business,"bathwater" being
(14:24):
all of the patriarchal,capitalistic, bro side of
business that we had to pushaside to come back to the
middle.
So remember that your ambition,that fiery aligned motivation to
act and to expand and to turn upthe heat is not a capitalist
(14:47):
trap.
It's actually the compass ofyour calling and meant to be
positioned at the center of yourchart, and so the center of you.
If you do feel aligned withthat, if you are an avatar when
it comes to the elements and themasculine and feminine, if you
identify with being a masculine,fiery person and you love that
(15:11):
part of you, that shows up andexpresses into your business of
feeling driven and of just beingon fire and feeling on fire, the
reminder here is that you arenot too much.
No matter what you've heardothers say, you are tuned in.
Fire is not the opposite offlow, it has its own flow, water
(15:34):
flows and fire flows.
The fire flow is what gives lifedirection, momentum, purpose,
and a very special kind ofpresence.
But if you're listening to thisand you're like, I don't quite
feel as connected with that as Iwould like to, yes, I hear you,
(15:54):
and I absolutely want that andknow I need that, but I still
can't seem to feel as connectedwith that side of myself.
I still can't seem to move orfeel as confident with what is
motivating me to move as whatmotivates me to rest.
If something feels off with thatside of you, it might be that
(16:18):
you are trying to act from ascript that isn't yours.
It might be that like so manyand the battle that we are all
partly dancing with and fightingand facing here is that you
haven't been able to parse outthe baby from the bath water.
You have resistance becauseyou're not quite sure what's
yours when it comes to themasculine fire side of you.
(16:42):
That is where your ZodiacAbundance Affirmations come in.
I created this guide as a wayfor each sign, each of you with
each of your signs, sun, moon,and rising are great ones to
look at to orient your uniqueflavor of abundance and not
somebody else's.
(17:04):
Because if your fire has gonedim or isn't as bright as you
would like it to be, it'sprobably not because you lack
drive.
It's because the path you're onisn't actually lighting you up
and you're not quite sure how toget back on track.
The affirmations in this guideare not fluff, they are straight
fuel.
You can download them for freenow to find the ones that match
(17:27):
your design, to hold them closewith you, to affirm them out
loud to better align you withyour path to the bright, warm,
fiery relationship withabundance that you want to have.
Let them remind you how yourfire actually wants to move.
You can download yours atcosmicb.link/affirm,
(17:49):
A-F-F-I-R-M,cosmicb.link/affirm.
Go grab that right now.
Truly alignment is everything.
It's the thing that you're notlooking at seeing or talking
about if there's a missingpiece, and it's what needs to be
brought into your awareness andinto the picture, if you want to
(18:11):
be able to reignite yourrelationship with fire with
devotion.
The real reason that you stallout or lose your connection to
it, it's not because you needmore discipline, it's not
because you're doing anythingwrong.
It's because you need adirection to point it, that
(18:31):
actually matters to you deeplyfrom the inside out.
The fire goes out when you loseyour connection from the why,
the purpose of why you're doingthe things that you're doing.
If you're acting withoutactively being connected to that
sense of purpose and passion,and the bigger why, that is
(18:53):
behind it, that should bemotivating you.
If you lose that, you lose yourmotivation.
And then you are just actingfrom ash.
Like I said in the poem, in therap flow that initiated this
episode.
Devotion, that aligned actiondevotion piece to you and your
source, your flame is thedifference between burning
(19:15):
through and burning up,'causeit's so hot and feels so good
and you just have to act, youjust have to do.
And you know, that shit is sogood.
So instead of waiting for thatmotivation, instead of praying
for the return of it, let me bethe one to remind you that you
absolutely have the power toco-create and build, and
(19:38):
reinforce, and remain incommitment to, in observance of,
in action around a rhythm thatactually keeps that flame alive.
You do have agency around this,you do have the power to keep
that flame lit.
Real quick, just in case youkeep these things separate in
(20:00):
your mind, in your perspective,in your heart, in your energy,
and in your relationship withfire, I want to remind you why
everything that we're talkinghere points to that money is not
evil if you hold a belief assuch, and on the flip side, show
you what happens when your firemeets your values because it is
(20:24):
anything but evil.
It is all that is good and holyin this world and in your
experience.
Because again, money is not theroot of evil.
You are not the problem.
Action is not the thing toavoid.
It's the misalignment that is.
When your work, when theservices that you provide to
(20:46):
create the exchange for dollarsto bring more abundance into
your world, when that work issourced from your truth, from
what you truly feel purposedriven to offer to this world,
from what lights you up to serveand support others to expand
into their visions and theirdreams, your income becomes a
(21:09):
reflection of that impact.
It becomes a way to play thegame of becoming more and more
who you are of showing up as aninstrument of the fire that
wants to move through you,through your sacred work, in
numbers that you can actuallytrack and work with and use as
(21:30):
barometers to compare your nowself to past versions of
yourself, to future versionsthat you are growing into
becoming.
Fire is how you channel yourenergy in this way, and money is
just how it moves in thematerial realm.
So as long as your fire isfueling your sacred work, then
(21:55):
let your fire free yourself tosee that it is your fire that
wants to fund everything sacred,holy, and that matters in your
life.
This shit is all connected.
If you were nothing but a lightbeing vibrating, this would be a
very different conversation, butyou are not.
(22:16):
You are an earth dwellingcreature here to play the game
of materializing your energythrough your sense of purpose,
through the gifts of your designto help other people and give
them the opportunity tocompensate you through the value
exchange of money, the neutralplaceholder that you will then
(22:39):
turn around and provide tosomething or someone else for
something that you care as muchabout.
This is why we say that yourdollar is your vote.
Where you put your money is whatmatters to you.
If someone is putting theirmoney with you, then you matter
to them and you are doingsomething right.
The more of it that is flowinginto your world and the more of
(23:03):
it that you are intentionallyirrigating the flow of into what
matters to you, the more you areblessing up that channel of
manifest material abundanceknown as money, to keep all that
is good in this world flowing.
Of course, this is all in thecontext of having incarnated
during the age of Aquarius, thebeginning of a 2000 year
(23:27):
chapter, season, and era on thisplanet where we are bringing to
form each of our uniqueindividual flavors into the
principle of unity throughdiversity.
That we are entering into an agewhere we each need to bring our
special sauce and spark to makethis overall tapestry that we're
(23:50):
weaving that much richer andmore beautiful to look at.
Which is why when you align yourpurpose, your design, your
spark, that fire, that animatesyou and your relationship with
abundance to keep it allflowing, you are able to use
your natural abundance style asa spark for something new,
(24:13):
instead of a propagation of anold script that we are all ready
to let go.
There is no one size fits allpath to abundance.
That is what we are all eachhere to discover for ourselves
to support each other withdiscovering.
As we each move deeper anddeeper into right relationship
(24:35):
with the flow of our fire, fromsource, through us, out into the
world through our offerings, andas part of what is charging up
the flow of monetary materialabundance that we're here to
enjoy.
And your fire might be quick andbold.
(24:55):
My fire is in Aries, is my Marsand Venus, is the fire in my
chart.
So for me, my fire comes alivein the dance with other people.
It is bold, it is fiery.
One of my favorite ways toexpress it was for the decades
when I would go to dance once aweek and just summon that energy
(25:18):
of fire on the dance floorbetween me and other people.
I feel that spark to this daywhen I feel really in it with
somebody else.
When we're connecting and whenwe're making magic happen.
Yours might be slower andsteadier.
You might have been thegrounding presence on the dance
floor or in your community wherepeople feel like they can
(25:42):
gravitate to to rest by yourwarmth.
These are metaphors.
I don't claim to know what yourexperience with fire has been,
and without looking at yourchart, I can't tell you much
about what it might become, buteither way, it's yours and it's
valid.
When you follow your uniquezodiacal flavor of fire as
(26:03):
reflected in your chart, anystrategy that you point it to
becomes self-sustaining.
That is its potential.
So use your abundanceaffirmations to reconnect with
that spark your way and let itlead you.
If you take nothing else awayfrom this episode, remember that
(26:24):
times that you're just notfeeling it, especially when
those times seem to last waylonger than you would like to,
you're not lazy, you're justunlit.
You are designed to oscillatethrough natural rhythms between
a more explosive kind of fieryenergy and a more inward kind of
(26:45):
warmth, but you should neverfeel fully disconnected to it.
That is not meant to be part ofyour cycle.
The good news, no matter whereyou are right now, your spark
didn't and couldn't die.
It's just been waiting for theright kind of presence and fuel.
If this episode stirredsomething in you, don't let it
(27:05):
fade, fan that flame, follow thepull.
Go grab your Zodiac AbundanceAffirmations at
cosmicb.link/affirm.
They're not just inspiration,they are true ignition.
Your zodiac signs hold aspecific way of accessing
abundance, and while we coulddefinitely go much deeper into
(27:28):
the nuance and specificity ofyour codes, these affirmations
are an incredible starting pointto keep you closer to the flame.
And they will help you toremember how close you always
are to it.
So start there, get lit up, andI will see you in the next one
for the water code.
You say you want flow, butyou're stuck at the start.
(00:02):
Half lit, half dreaming, halftrusting your heart.
You tried to play chill, but thecoals wouldn't lie.
Your vision kept sparking,refusing to die.
They told you to wait, to align,to receive, but waiting gets
weary when you don't believe.
You've journaled, you'vevisioned, you've saged every
room, but nothing can move ifyou don't make it move.
(00:24):
Still, action alone, that's afast track to ash, the hustle
won't hold if it's just chasingcash.
So what if the fuel you've beenneeding to find isn't more
effort, but a motive that'saligned?
The truth is you're not lazy,you're just not yet lit.
But once you're in flow, everystep will fit.
If you're ready to burn with ahunger for more, let's open the
(00:46):
matchbook and walk through thedoor.
This is the first of a five partseries to move through all of
the elements to get back tobasics of what these different
elements are that want to moveand flow through us, through our
business, out into our world,animate us, be in relationship,
(01:11):
in the dance with us so that weactually feel the
multidimensional phenomenon thatis flow.
We are kicking it off this weekwith fire, and this one's for
the ones who have been toldthey're too much, too ambitious,
too inconsistent, or toodistracted to follow through.
(01:35):
Because I want to present to youthe alternative narrative.
What if you're not actuallylazy, scattered, broken?
What if There's actually nothingat all wrong with you, but when
it comes to the fire element,you're just not lit yet, to be
able to be consistently ridingthe warm, bright, motivating
(02:02):
waves that are the fire elementmoving through you, so you end
up sputtering and starting, youend up riding what feel like
manic waves of inspiration onlyfor them to fall again because
they were circumstantial.
What if it's that you're notdistracted, you are just in
absolute right relationship withfire, moving your attention and
(02:24):
energy around trying to reachand find it again, like a bug to
a flame, that's kind of a weirdmetaphor here, but like a person
to a campfire, right?
It draws us, it pulls us towardit, and if something that we are
pursuing starts to feel dead orcold, we are naturally going to
feel distracted or non-committalor inconsistent, only because we
(02:48):
are moving, leaning, turning tofind the flame and the fire
again.
This episode is your invitationto reframe strategy as a sacred
way to position your fire, a usecase of your fire, something
that you need to point your firetoward so that it actually feels
(03:13):
sacred, feels aligned, feelsconnected to your source.
And remember, aligned firedoesn't and cannot burn you out,
it actually brings you back hometo yourself.
So let's talk about what fuelsreal aligned action and what
keeps your fire alive.
In this episode, we are going tolook at why aligned action is
(03:38):
the flame that frees you, thedifference between surface
motivation and soul-litmotivation, how to stop
gaslighting your ambition in thename of however you've been
defining flow, the real reasonyou stall out, and how to
reignite it with the devotion,why money is not evil, and what
(04:00):
happens when your fire meetsyour values, and how to use your
natural abundance style as asparked, not a script, so you
continue to feel alive.
My first point here is probablygoing to land as a little bit of
a duh, but also maybe a welcomedreminder as part of this
conversation, because we've allhad experiences in the past
(04:24):
where we've felt burnt out.
Where we felt like we're forcingourself into actions that don't
feel like ours, either becausethey no longer fit anymore or
because we're trying to modelourselves after somebody else
who is not designed like we are,or because you simply weren't
honoring your natural cycles andyou tried to pull when the
(04:49):
cosmic tide said to push.
Whatever it is.
We've all had experiences whereaction has felt exhausting and
maybe we have some kind ofresistance to it now.
Maybe your relationship to beingin the flow is being in a more
(05:11):
passive, receptive, watery typespace as some kind of
compensation.
Where you're like, well, I'm notgoing to push myself into
burnout, into overwhelm again,i'm going to lay low, keep the
flow slower, and make sure thatI don't get carried away in a
(05:31):
direction that takes me as faraway from myself as I've ended
up in times past.
We all have our own specificstory, but what I want to
highlight here is a bit of ababy bathwater dynamic and
duality, where of course itwasn't the action itself that
was the problem.
Aligned action is everything interms of what makes us feel on
(05:55):
point, lit up, alive.
However, it was a matter ofmisalignment, a matter of
misaligned action, and notcatching it soon enough before
it carried you away.
The thing is, when you areconnected to your source and
your vision, that elemental fireaspect of existence, that is our
(06:18):
divine aligned motivation,right?
It's what connects us to thebigger picture, the bigger
meaning.
If you think of it as lifeitself and the sun and solar
energy, providing us the heat,the warmth, the light force that
motivates us to continue on, toexpand, to grow.
(06:39):
This is all such primal stuff.
It's the spark that putsanything into motion, and yours
is unique.
Your filter, your flavor, theway that it shows up, the
visions that it connects to isvery uniquely yours.
Sometimes it's tricky thoughbecause we see other people
living in and being warmed inand bathed in theirs, and it
(07:02):
feels warm to us too, by proxy.
And there's something about itthat's attractive, that looks
good on them, looks good on her.
I'm going to emulate and modelthat myself, i'm going to
imitate it.
For a moment there's a high,there's always a high at the
beginning when something'sdifferent, something's novel,
something seems to be working orpulling us out of the trap of
(07:24):
what wasn't working for us.
But then inevitably, eventuallyit stops working for us because
it is not aligned with ourdesign.
That's why when you're actuallyconnected with and aligned with
your source, your vision, yourunique fire tap, fire feels like
freedom.
It doesn't feel like pressure.
(07:44):
It doesn't feel like we're frogin hot boiling water, it's not a
heat that forces us to quickenour movement.
It is a force that invites usthat we can't help but want to
ride in its direction.
Fire is also what motivates usto act.
If you are feeling in avoidance,often that is a signal that you
(08:09):
have been forcing, not flowing,and there's a recalibration that
needs to take place with yourunique access to fire.
Because fire brings clarity, itburns off what's false, what's
not true, and it initiateswhat's real and what's truly
ours.
So let's talk about thedifference of those two sides of
(08:30):
what motivates us between themore surface motivation and the
true soul centered soul base,soul lit movement.
If your strategy feels driven byurgency, by comparison, or by
fear, it will fizzle out, like amatch that we're lighting that
(08:52):
flames up at first and theneventually goes out entirely.
If you are not sourcing fromwithin, from your access to
fire, from the way that you aredesigned to genuinely,
authentically feel lit up, itwill not last, it's temporary.
So it'll take you on a rollercoaster ride of sometimes
(09:14):
feeling super motivated andsometimes absolutely crashing.
Because all that stuff isoutside in, but soul lit
movement and motivation comesfrom the inside out and it's
often subtler and quieter, butmore sustaining.
In the metaphor of lighting thematch and it burning out, having
(09:34):
that intense flash and flame atthe beginning, but it not
lasting long at all, here we'retalking about that sustainable,
slow burn that's also in balancewith the other elements that has
some wood, some earth to sustainit that is in right relationship
with air, that's not soggy-edout by water, right?
(09:57):
There's this right relationshipwhere you can have a sustainable
flame that's warm.
Which is what you needsustainably.
How long can you stand by asuper hot burning fire?
Not very long before you startto sweat or need to step away.
It's that perfect temperature,that warmth that keeps you the
temperature that you need to beto stay your course and warms
(10:21):
your environment to be able toplay that long game and stick
around.
It feels different.
It does feel like a bit ofurgency, at least in my
experience of it, but more likethat passion filled, like ugh, I
just need to act on this rightnow, now is the moment.
Not that outside and pressure oflike, oh God, I just need to get
(10:44):
this done, I need to, I need to,I need to, I need to.
Very different kinds of desire.
One is forced and one is trulysourced from your own internal
rhythms inside out of like,there is no other wave I would
rather be riding right now.
When it comes to the elements,there's no straightforward, what
do you look at in your chart,everybody's elemental
(11:07):
composition is different,located in different places.
It's so much more of asubjective and individual thing
to look at your chart to seewhat's up with you and fire.
One thing is for sure to look atyour sun sign, what language,
what motivation does your solarenergy move through to you?
(11:30):
What is that energetic home basethrough which you first met the
sun?
Because that's going to havesuch big clues for you of how
your fire wants to move throughyou.
This is something in CosmicCurrency that we call your CEO
Code.
It's how we start the wholeexperience because you need to
be centered in your CEO seat ofpower and leadership to be able
(11:55):
to choose from a place of thatembodied, authentic motivation,
where you're going next, wherethe transformation will lead
you.
When you're centered in thatsolar CEO seat of fire and know
where your source energy springsfrom and through you out into
(12:15):
your creations, any action thatyou take is honoring your design
and so becomes a devotional act,not something that drains you.
So now how can you stopgaslighting your ambition and
snubbing out your fire in thename of how you've been defining
flow up until now?
(12:35):
Because I think it is all toocommon to think about flow as
water, the opposite of fire, andto think about flow as a much
more, as I said before,receptive, passive surrendered
state.
In this way, many in thespiritual world and community
(12:56):
have mistaken stillness forsafety, have favored the other
side of the coin of being moresettled and soft and feminine.
There's been this huge,recently, historically shift of
the pendulum swing back to thefeminine, and especially in
(13:17):
business, infusing the feminineprinciples back into business to
bring us into balance so thatwe're not betraying ourselves.
Over masculinizing ourselves andour process to be able to be
business owners, and that is sorighteous and a sign of the
times.
However, we have to be mindfulof not swinging all the way to
(13:40):
the other side and losing andgetting far from that balance
point that motivated us to bringthis part back into the mix in
this way in the first place.
Because avoiding your firestifles your life force just as
much as not letting the femininewatery flow to move through you
too.
Here we have another baby bathwater conundrum.
(14:03):
I've gotta come up with abetter, more, uh, tasteful and
on brand version of thatmetaphor, note to self.
But for now,"baby" being theright relationship to the
masculine element of fire inyour business,"bathwater" being
(14:24):
all of the patriarchal,capitalistic, bro side of
business that we had to pushaside to come back to the
middle.
So remember that your ambition,that fiery aligned motivation to
act and to expand and to turn upthe heat is not a capitalist
(14:47):
trap.
It's actually the compass ofyour calling and meant to be
positioned at the center of yourchart, and so the center of you.
If you do feel aligned withthat, if you are an avatar when
it comes to the elements and themasculine and feminine, if you
identify with being a masculine,fiery person and you love that
(15:11):
part of you, that shows up andexpresses into your business of
feeling driven and of just beingon fire and feeling on fire, the
reminder here is that you arenot too much.
No matter what you've heardothers say, you are tuned in.
Fire is not the opposite offlow, it has its own flow, water
(15:34):
flows and fire flows.
The fire flow is what gives lifedirection, momentum, purpose,
and a very special kind ofpresence.
But if you're listening to thisand you're like, I don't quite
feel as connected with that as Iwould like to, yes, I hear you,
(15:54):
and I absolutely want that andknow I need that, but I still
can't seem to feel as connectedwith that side of myself.
I still can't seem to move orfeel as confident with what is
motivating me to move as whatmotivates me to rest.
If something feels off with thatside of you, it might be that
(16:18):
you are trying to act from ascript that isn't yours.
It might be that like so manyand the battle that we are all
partly dancing with and fightingand facing here is that you
haven't been able to parse outthe baby from the bath water.
You have resistance becauseyou're not quite sure what's
yours when it comes to themasculine fire side of you.
(16:42):
That is where your ZodiacAbundance Affirmations come in.
I created this guide as a wayfor each sign, each of you with
each of your signs, sun, moon,and rising are great ones to
look at to orient your uniqueflavor of abundance and not
somebody else's.
(17:04):
Because if your fire has gonedim or isn't as bright as you
would like it to be, it'sprobably not because you lack
drive.
It's because the path you're onisn't actually lighting you up
and you're not quite sure how toget back on track.
The affirmations in this guideare not fluff, they are straight
fuel.
You can download them for freenow to find the ones that match
(17:27):
your design, to hold them closewith you, to affirm them out
loud to better align you withyour path to the bright, warm,
fiery relationship withabundance that you want to have.
Let them remind you how yourfire actually wants to move.
You can download yours atcosmicb.link/affirm,

Truly alignment is everything.
It's the thing that you're notlooking at seeing or talking
about if there's a missingpiece, and it's what needs to be
brought into your awareness andinto the picture, if you want to
(18:11):
be able to reignite yourrelationship with fire with
devotion.
The real reason that you stallout or lose your connection to
it, it's not because you needmore discipline, it's not
because you're doing anythingwrong.
It's because you need adirection to point it, that
(18:31):
actually matters to you deeplyfrom the inside out.
The fire goes out when you loseyour connection from the why,
the purpose of why you're doingthe things that you're doing.
If you're acting withoutactively being connected to that
sense of purpose and passion,and the bigger why, that is
(18:53):
behind it, that should bemotivating you.
If you lose that, you lose yourmotivation.
And then you are just actingfrom ash.
Like I said in the poem, in therap flow that initiated this
episode.
Devotion, that aligned actiondevotion piece to you and your
source, your flame is thedifference between burning
(19:15):
through and burning up,'causeit's so hot and feels so good
and you just have to act, youjust have to do.
And you know, that shit is sogood.
So instead of waiting for thatmotivation, instead of praying
for the return of it, let me bethe one to remind you that you
absolutely have the power toco-create and build, and
(19:38):
reinforce, and remain incommitment to, in observance of,
in action around a rhythm thatactually keeps that flame alive.
You do have agency around this,you do have the power to keep
that flame lit.
Real quick, just in case youkeep these things separate in
(20:00):
your mind, in your perspective,in your heart, in your energy,
and in your relationship withfire, I want to remind you why
everything that we're talkinghere points to that money is not
evil if you hold a belief assuch, and on the flip side, show
you what happens when your firemeets your values because it is
(20:24):
anything but evil.
It is all that is good and holyin this world and in your
experience.
Because again, money is not theroot of evil.
You are not the problem.
Action is not the thing toavoid.
It's the misalignment that is.
When your work, when theservices that you provide to
(20:46):
create the exchange for dollarsto bring more abundance into
your world, when that work issourced from your truth, from
what you truly feel purposedriven to offer to this world,
from what lights you up to serveand support others to expand
into their visions and theirdreams, your income becomes a
(21:09):
reflection of that impact.
It becomes a way to play thegame of becoming more and more
who you are of showing up as aninstrument of the fire that
wants to move through you,through your sacred work, in
numbers that you can actuallytrack and work with and use as
(21:30):
barometers to compare your nowself to past versions of
yourself, to future versionsthat you are growing into
becoming.
Fire is how you channel yourenergy in this way, and money is
just how it moves in thematerial realm.
So as long as your fire isfueling your sacred work, then
(21:55):
let your fire free yourself tosee that it is your fire that
wants to fund everything sacred,holy, and that matters in your
life.
This shit is all connected.
If you were nothing but a lightbeing vibrating, this would be a
very different conversation, butyou are not.
(22:16):
You are an earth dwellingcreature here to play the game
of materializing your energythrough your sense of purpose,
through the gifts of your designto help other people and give
them the opportunity tocompensate you through the value
exchange of money, the neutralplaceholder that you will then
(22:39):
turn around and provide tosomething or someone else for
something that you care as muchabout.
This is why we say that yourdollar is your vote.
Where you put your money is whatmatters to you.
If someone is putting theirmoney with you, then you matter
to them and you are doingsomething right.
The more of it that is flowinginto your world and the more of
(23:03):
it that you are intentionallyirrigating the flow of into what
matters to you, the more you areblessing up that channel of
manifest material abundanceknown as money, to keep all that
is good in this world flowing.
Of course, this is all in thecontext of having incarnated
during the age of Aquarius, thebeginning of a 2000 year
(23:27):
chapter, season, and era on thisplanet where we are bringing to
form each of our uniqueindividual flavors into the
principle of unity throughdiversity.
That we are entering into an agewhere we each need to bring our
special sauce and spark to makethis overall tapestry that we're
(23:50):
weaving that much richer andmore beautiful to look at.
Which is why when you align yourpurpose, your design, your
spark, that fire, that animatesyou and your relationship with
abundance to keep it allflowing, you are able to use
your natural abundance style asa spark for something new,
(24:13):
instead of a propagation of anold script that we are all ready
to let go.
There is no one size fits allpath to abundance.
That is what we are all eachhere to discover for ourselves
to support each other withdiscovering.
As we each move deeper anddeeper into right relationship
(24:35):
with the flow of our fire, fromsource, through us, out into the
world through our offerings, andas part of what is charging up
the flow of monetary materialabundance that we're here to
enjoy.
And your fire might be quick andbold.
(24:55):
My fire is in Aries, is my Marsand Venus, is the fire in my
chart.
So for me, my fire comes alivein the dance with other people.
It is bold, it is fiery.
One of my favorite ways toexpress it was for the decades
when I would go to dance once aweek and just summon that energy
(25:18):
of fire on the dance floorbetween me and other people.
I feel that spark to this daywhen I feel really in it with
somebody else.
When we're connecting and whenwe're making magic happen.
Yours might be slower andsteadier.
You might have been thegrounding presence on the dance
floor or in your community wherepeople feel like they can
(25:42):
gravitate to to rest by yourwarmth.
These are metaphors.
I don't claim to know what yourexperience with fire has been,
and without looking at yourchart, I can't tell you much
about what it might become, buteither way, it's yours and it's
valid.
When you follow your uniquezodiacal flavor of fire as
(26:03):
reflected in your chart, anystrategy that you point it to
becomes self-sustaining.
That is its potential.
So use your abundanceaffirmations to reconnect with
that spark your way and let itlead you.
If you take nothing else awayfrom this episode, remember that
(26:24):
times that you're just notfeeling it, especially when
those times seem to last waylonger than you would like to,
you're not lazy, you're justunlit.
You are designed to oscillatethrough natural rhythms between
a more explosive kind of fieryenergy and a more inward kind of
(26:45):
warmth, but you should neverfeel fully disconnected to it.
That is not meant to be part ofyour cycle.
The good news, no matter whereyou are right now, your spark
didn't and couldn't die.
It's just been waiting for theright kind of presence and fuel.
If this episode stirredsomething in you, don't let it
(27:05):
fade, fan that flame, follow thepull.

the nuance and specificity ofyour codes, these affirmations

are to it.
