You've mastered fire's ignition, water's depth, air's breath, and earth's grounding. But there's one more element that changes everything – the one you can't hold in your hands, yet it holds all the others together.
Ether is the space between, the field that connects, the whisper that tells you which step comes next. It's the invisible foundation that turns your business from work into flow, from strategy into soul-aligned expression.
Most people build their businesses from the outside in, hoping alignment will follow. But what if you flipped that completely? What if you started with your cosmic blueprint and built everything else to match?
In this episode...
🥇 Why ether comes last in the series but first in practice – and how this changes everything about building your business
✨ The difference between chasing alignment (exhausting trial and error) vs. creating from it (natural, effortless flow)
🗝️ How your cosmic codes act like cheat codes for your business – making the work feel lighter and results inevitable
💫 Why fire burns out, water drowns, air spirals, and earth becomes rigid without ether's integrating force
📡 The signs you're out of alignment and how to tune back into your cosmic frequency
👩🏻💼 Why your astrology chart is actually the ultimate business plan – showing your natural rhythms, motivators, and seasons
When you start from cosmic alignment, every action becomes an expression of your original design. Your business transforms into a vehicle for your growth, a mirror for your evolution, and an altar for your truest expression. The work stops feeling like pushing uphill and starts feeling like flowing downstream with the current of your unique magic.

Fire gave you ignition, watergave you depth, air gave you
breath, earth gave you ground.
But there's one more element,the one you can't hold in your
hands, yet it holds all theothers.
Ether is the space between, thefield that connects.
The whisper that tells you whichstep comes next.
(01:21):
It's the lens you look throughbefore you decide, the soul and
the system, the tide in theguide.
When you start from alignment,the rest just clicks into place.
Your flow finds its channel,your vision, its space.
So let's pull back the curtainon the one you can't see, the
element that's been shaping yourpath quietly.
(01:43):
In this series, we've moved sofar through fire, through water,
through air, and through earth,and each one of these four basic
elements is an essential part ofhow you run your business, how
you tend your money, and how youlive in your fullest expression,
and deepest alignment with thenatural forces that surround and
(02:07):
animate you.
But there's one element thatisn't on the traditional wheel
of tangible matter, and yet it'sthe one that gives meaning to
all the rest.
In this series, ether comeslast, but in practice, it comes
first.
It is the foundation that westart anything from in my world,
(02:30):
through the Star Line Method.
We come down through the top,even if we only see its
influence once the other piecesare in motion, it's the one that
we tune into to set the stagefor everything that comes after.
Ether in the star line method isyour cosmic alignment.
(02:51):
It is the root frequency sourcefrom above, from around, and
from within that you areuniquely designed to live and
create from.
It's the piece that turnssystems, structures, and
strategies, all that more 3Ddense stuff into something that
(03:13):
actually feels like you andresonates with the way you were
designed.
Without it, the other elementscan still function, but they
feel more like work.
Whereas when you start here withyour cosmic codes, the work
feels lighter, the flow feelsmore natural.
It's like flowing with the pathof least resistance when it
(03:37):
comes to how energy is designedto move through you and the
results become inevitable.
Whatever you are working towardnaturally manifests because you
are working in alignment withthe magic of your design.
In this episode, we're going totalk about why starting with
cosmic alignment changes thegame for everything else, how
(04:00):
ether weaves the other fourelements into one coherent flow,
the difference between chasingalignment and creating from it,
how to recognize when you're outof alignment and how to come
back, and why your cosmicblueprint is the ultimate
business plan.
First up, let's talk about whystarting with cosmic alignment
(04:24):
changes the game for everythingelse and why it is the starting
point for any work that you dowith me inside of Cosmic Biz
Witch.
Because most people go the otherway, building from the outside
in.
Starting with the 3D systems,the examples from other people,
(04:44):
the learning what already works,and hoping that alignment will
follow simply because you are apart of it.
My approach to the ether elementalongside all the rest,
completely flips that on itshead.
We start from the frequency youare designed for as a
non-negotiable filter, and webuild everything else to match
(05:06):
that.
Your cosmic alignment informs somany things.
There are cosmic codes that wecan look to in your astrology
chart, that snapshot of theenergetic matrix that imprinted
on you the moment that you tookyour first breath, and reflect a
map of how energy is designed tomove through you and ground into
(05:30):
your reality.
We can look at which risks youthrive on, how you naturally
generate momentum, theenvironments and relationships
that bring out the best, in youand the business that you're
running, the list goes on.
We can literally look to yourchart to better understand how
you are uniquely designed to doabsolutely anything that you
(05:53):
might have seen so many otherexamples of how other people are
doing the thing.
The thing is, it is not assimple as just putting us into
12 boxes.
Yes, there are the 12 signs ofthe Zodiac, this is going to be
a bit of a simplification, butit's helpful to illustrate the
point.
Say there are 12 planets andpoints and different things in
(06:17):
your chart that we want to lookat as these reflections of parts
of you, that's 12.
We will call that 12.
And then let's say we want tolook at the combination of those
in each sign.
That's 12 times 12 is 144different combinations.
And then we want to take it astep further and look at the 12
houses that those might be intimes another 12.
(06:40):
That's 1,728 combinations, butwe actually don't stop there.
When we look at your cosmiccodes, we take that into
consideration, but we also lookat something called rulership,
and none of these codes exist ina vacuum.
We also look at them in thecontext of your whole chart and
(07:01):
the relationships between them,known as aspects.
Your cosmic codes are truly aunique fingerprint.
When you tune in to the rightones at the right times to
support you with the right areasof your business, and you build
from this place, everything thatyou create is an extension of
(07:22):
and an expression of you.
The whole system of elements,those other four, they don't
have to fight your natural flow,they're able to flow right along
with you.
This is how Ether weaves theother four elements into one
coherent flow that makes sensefor you in a way that it would
(07:43):
not make sense for anybody else.
Every element needs theauthentic expression of and
consideration of your cosmiccodes in your astrology chart.
Fire without ether can burn out,everything just feels forced.
Water without ether can drown indistracting emotions because all
(08:07):
the symptoms of misalignmentemotionally get in the way.
Air without ether can spiralinto overthinking because there
are so many potential options.
Earth without ether can becomerigid, lifeless, and boring,
where it just feels like achore.
Ether is the integrator.
(08:29):
It turns each element into itsbest, most thriving version and
keeps them all in harmonytogether.
In money flow terms, it's whatensures that your earning, your
saving, your spending, yourinvesting.
All of the different directionsof movement that your money
(08:52):
brings life force energy into inyour business, all are able to
move together and move towardthe same purpose.
Ether really is that je ne saisquoi that would be hard to put
our finger on, and ultimately wewill never be able to, but we
can use your astrology chart asa tool to get pretty dang close
(09:15):
to.
And of course you take it fromthere because as far as I use
the tool of astrology, it'snever to blow your mind at
anything that you hadn't heardbefore.
It's more to shine the spotlighton those subtler whispers that
maybe have been overpowered byso many other influences that
(09:37):
have been in your ear.
Let's talk about the differencebetween chasing alignment, when
you're constantly seeking andtrying to find what works for
you, instead of creating from itand what it feels like to start
there with your cosmicalignment.
Chasing alignment looks liketrying every new strategy or
(09:58):
system because you see whatworks for other people and you
want to try it all on for sizefor yourself, which let's be
honest, never really works.
Maybe there's a high at first ofthe novelty of the new approach,
but they never truly feelsustainable and you are on to
trying the next thing soonafter.
(10:19):
This is energeticallyexhausting, time consuming, and
not to mention actuallyexpensive if you're hopping from
course to course to course.
It can look like constantlytweaking your offers to get them
just right or find your thing ina way that just feels like an
endless experimentation insteadof, getting closer to, and
(10:43):
refining and circling around,but moving in the direction of
that core truth of what you weredesigned to offer and how you
were designed to show up tooffer it.
Or it can look like waiting forperfect circumstances before
starting, because you can feelthat your approach just isn't
right.
(11:04):
Oftentimes, procrastination iscaused by this, without you even
realizing it because a part ofyou knows, why even get started
on something that's going to bea waste of your time?
Sure, you're going to learnsomething.
You are going to ultimately getcloser to what's right for you
by realizing what's not, butsomething in you intuitively
(11:26):
knows that that is not theefficient way to get there, so
you don't even take the firststep.
Maybe this means you're stuckdoing things in a way that you
kind of hate, right?
You don't even want to bothergoing on that path of
discovering through endlesstrial and error, what's yours.
On the flip side, creating fromalignment looks like clear,
(11:49):
consistent action that actuallyfeels natural for you.
You can tell when doingsomething feels right, you can
tell because it feels like, Iwas made for this.
You know that feeling.
There are areas in your lifewhere you feel that way, and if
it's not your business, it'stime to start using the cosmic
(12:10):
codes in your chart to go rightthere.
It's like a shortcut, they'rekind of like cheat codes, but is
it really cheating if they'rejust there and so easy for us to
look at?
I don't think so.
It ends up looking like offersand systems that grow with you
that feel like an authenticexpression of you at the time of
(12:30):
their conception, and then kindof take you for a ride of
knowing exactly how to adapt andimprove them because it's
mirroring your own process ofgrowth and adaptation and
improvement.
In this way, your business endsup being this vehicle that is a
reflection of your growth.
Like a mirror is able to show itto you to help illuminate it for
(12:54):
you from a different angle.
And let me tell you how muchmore fun your work becomes when
it's set up like this.
It looks like trusting yourtiming and knowing what's yours
to do right now.
So if you have been experiencingfeeling like you're behind, or
(13:15):
sometimes feeling like you'respinning your wheels or whatever
misalignment to right timing.
If things just feel off or ifyou just feel like there's so
many things you don't reallyknow what you should be working
on right now, these are allsymptoms of misalignment and
ultimately chasing, but missingalignment.
(13:35):
Whereas creating from thatrooted source space of alignment
with yourself and your design,means knowing that you are right
where you need to be and thatwhatever feels right for you
right now feels right, but alsois situated as part of an
awareness of a bigger plan thatyou're able to tune into.
(13:57):
You trust it.
You trust that whatever is beingplaced right in front of you,
you can give that your all andif you keep doing that and
giving your attention andpresence to that thing in front
of you over and over, ultimatelyeach of those things are part of
and supporting that greatervision and that greater cause
and everything is supporting themomentum in that direction.
(14:19):
Looking at it from this angle,ether isn't something you get.
It wants to be something thatyou start from, that special
something, that special saucethat animates you.
If this is all sounding reallygreat, but you're also realizing
that you have been building yourbusiness without a clear
connection to your cosmicalignment and that's got you
(14:42):
realizing that you've been doingit the hard way and that things
are feeling off because of thismissing piece, let's change
that.
Plan with the planets is my$7guide to sinking your weekly
workflow with the planetarydays, and this is such a great
place to start to bring in thecosmic forces into your
(15:04):
workflow.
Into your business, into yourlife, all starting with bringing
it into your real time workflow.
The seven days of the week areassociated with seven planets.
So for just$1 a day, you candial in when to take inspired
action, when to handle details,when to make big decisions, and
(15:28):
when to rest.
Basically structure all of thethings that you already know you
need to do in a week, but tomove them around so that they
align with a natural cycle oftime that is much, much older
than we are, a way that theancients used to align with the
planets, that just feels right.
(15:51):
I'll give you the example thatMonday is Moon Day and the world
tells us that as the first dayof the work week, we should hit
the ground running, right?
It's the day to be on fire andstart your week.
When really Monday Moon Daywants to be the day that you
align with the moon and you geteverything in place to feel
(16:12):
prepared, to calm your nervoussystem, and to feel ready to
take on your week.
To then hit the ground runningTuesday with Mars Day, which is
how this world defines Monday.
In any case, and suffice it tosay, it's all so backwards with
how we've been taught.
So this guide, Plan with thePlanets will get you reoriented
(16:34):
to the natural days of the week,so that you can begin your
relationship with the cosmicforces of these planets.
You can go get that guide atcosmicb.link/planwithplanets.
And at checkout, you can alsoadd Your Cosmic Team, which is a
private 7 day immersion with me,where you'll meet your inner
(16:58):
cosmic team, your uniquerelationship to each of the
seven planets that correspond toeach of the days of the week.
So that you can learn intimatelyhow to work with each of them
for maximum flow, clarity andaligned action.
Inside a private Telegramcontainer, you'll get daily
(17:19):
voice notes, which some peoplehave described as their own
personal, private podcast, plusthe spaciousness each day to
integrate each of the planet'sguidance together in real time.
This is my central way to workwith the cosmic forces in your
birth chart to align yourefforts with the ways you were
(17:41):
designed inside your business.
You can grab your Plan with thePlanet's Guide and kick off Your
Cosmic Team experience if youare ready at
cosmicb.link/planwithplanets.
When it comes to alignment, ofcourse, however there are tools
and there are practices that cansupport you to stay there more
(18:04):
often, but it is not a placethat any of us humans live in
all the time.
Now let's look at how torecognize when you're out of
alignment and how to come backbecause ultimately it's a kind
of muscle that we strengthen,although just as balanced with
our capacity to surrender andreceive.
Here's some signs that you mightbe out of alignment.
(18:24):
If everything feels like pushingsomething uphill.
Stuff just feels forced, itdoesn't feel easy.
It feels like everything takesup way more effort than really
makes sense, and by the end ofthe day you are just exhausted.
When you're in flow, even doingis energizing.
So if you're feeling drained,you might be out of alignment.
(18:46):
Another is if you find yourselfsaying yes out of fear, not
desire.
Making choices because you'reafraid of what the alternative
might mean, or making moves totry and mitigate against
something that you're worriedabout instead of making choices,
making moves because it feels inalignment.
(19:08):
I know you're not supposed touse the word with the
definition, but because it feelsin sync with the direction that
you're actually going and thedesires that support that
positive, forward moving, growthoriented direction.
Another sign might be that themoney's coming in, but it
doesn't feel satisfying.
(19:28):
This one is so common.
As a tax preparer I worked withso many people that were
actually making good money, butthey didn't feel like they ever
had anything to show for it.
They had just as much going outand at the end of the day, at
the end of the month, at the endof the year, they had nothing
extra.
There was no overflow for asavings account or investments
(19:51):
or their future or anything elsethat they wanted to flow money
to.
It's really a matter of qualityover quantity when it comes to
the money stuff and alignment.
When you're aligned, it feelslike things are coming in to
move through you, to water andfund and fertilize everything
that matters to you.
(20:12):
Whereas when you're out ofalignment, it really doesn't
matter how much money is comingin, it's never going to feel
like enough and it's never goingto feel satisfying.
If you notice that you're there,if it feels like you are
striving, trying, forcing,pushing uphill, if you find
yourself being motivated morefrom fear or worry or what you
(20:34):
don't want, instead of fromdesire and inspiration and what
you're working toward.
And if it doesn't matter howmuch money is coming in, things
just feel off.
Let these be signals to you thatit is time to come back into
alignment, which by the way, isnot about fixing what's wrong,
but rather about retuningyourself.
(20:55):
I suggest when you notice thisis happening, that you slow down
and reconnect with your values.
Such a big part of what connectsus with who we are, with our
truth, with our center is whatwe uniquely value.
That's not going to be the sameas everybody else.
If you're misaligned, it mightbe because you've been operating
(21:17):
under someone else's valuesystem.
Some influence that got intoyour head, that made you think
something was important thatdoesn't really matter to you the
way that it does to the rest ofthe world.
Revisit your big picture vision.
Sometimes we just get into theweeds with stuff and we need to
reconnect with our why, oursense of purpose and the
(21:41):
intention that is guiding andleading us forward.
I am not just talking about likequarterly goals.
I'm talking about your biggerwhy that motivates you.
Oftentimes we fall out ofalignment because we lose our
connection to that.
So take a moment and tune backinto it.
And of course, looking to yourchart for current timing and
(22:03):
focus points.
I cannot tell you how many timesthings have just fell off to me,
which as an astrologer, that'smy cue.
I am not always looking at mychart or tuning into the
transits, but when things arenot working and I just feel all
the ways that I described in the"signs you're out of alignment"
(22:23):
part of this conversation, wejust moved through.
I'll end up pulling up my chart,'cause I'm like,"yo, what is
happening?" And something justjumps out at me and I'm like,
"oh, okay." That's how I'm outof alignment.
A lot of times things have justshifted, right?
We're not meant to be in thesame place the same time all the
(22:44):
time.
Astrology shows us that there'sa wheel of change and it's
always turning and alignment inone season is going to look very
different to alignment inanother.
In Our birth chart, the snapshotof the moment of that energetic
imprint, shows us the kinds ofthemes that we will face our
(23:05):
entire lifetime in this body,and helps to reorient us toward
the higher vision, the idealembodiment of each of those
parts of us so that they canwork together to help us be and
become the version of ourselfthat is the most satisfied, the
most fulfilled, and feels themost aligned.
(23:27):
Ultimately alignment is, itfeels right to me, it feels
right to me right now, and myactions, my behaviors, and my
thoughts are all in congruencewith that which feels right to
me, and to me right now, all ofthese things are in agreement.
(23:47):
This leads us to why your cosmicblueprint is the ultimate
business plan.
Your chart is going to help youget out of sticky, misaligned
times in your life, help toretune and reorient you toward
what feels like flow and getsyou where you want to go.
But also as business owners, ourbusiness is a vehicle for us to
(24:12):
do all of this, right?
We're not just in it for money,we're in it to be able to grow,
to become more of our potential,and to be able to show up in
service in the ways that we weredesigned to.
That's why being aware of yourastrology as the CEO and central
force in your business, I defineCEO as central energy organizer.
(24:36):
You are the center of yourbusiness, and that's why your
chart is so helpful to besuccessful, to feel fulfilled
internally, externally, insideof your business.
Because your chart holds yournatural rhythm, your motivators,
your growth edges, yourcommunication styles, the people
(24:58):
that you're meant to impact, somany things that matter in
business, and it also shows theseasons of your business life
unfolding.
When to plant when to build,when to harvest, and when to
rest.
This is the cycle that we repeatover and over and over again
(25:19):
that our business also wants tobe able to have the spaciousness
to move through.
When it comes to the moneystuff, building your money
practice and your overallbusiness strategies on this
foundation means you never haveto be out of sync with yourself
to show up for your business,this is ether's true gift.
(25:40):
It makes every action, everypiece of work that you do an
expression of your originaldesign.
Ether is the thread, it is thehum under the music, the current
beneath the waves.
It is what holds every otherelement together and what holds
you in your truest expressionthrough the vehicle of your
(26:04):
business.
Which is why when you starthere, everything else has a
place to land and knows exactlywhere to go.
Your business, your money flow,your vision, all of it gets
organized around the magic ofthe fingerprint of your unique
design.
If you're ready to work withyour cosmic alignment every
(26:25):
single day of every single week,let your business be an altar of
those expressions moving throughyou.

That's 1,728 combinations, butwe actually don't stop there.
When we look at your cosmiccodes, we take that into
consideration, but we also lookat something called rulership,
and none of these codes exist ina vacuum.
We also look at them in thecontext of your whole chart and
(07:01):
the relationships between them,known as aspects.
Your cosmic codes are truly aunique fingerprint.
When you tune in to the rightones at the right times to
support you with the right areasof your business, and you build
from this place, everything thatyou create is an extension of
(07:22):
and an expression of you.
The whole system of elements,those other four, they don't
have to fight your natural flow,they're able to flow right along
with you.
This is how Ether weaves theother four elements into one
coherent flow that makes sensefor you in a way that it would
(07:43):
not make sense for anybody else.
Every element needs theauthentic expression of and
consideration of your cosmiccodes in your astrology chart.
Fire without ether can burn out,everything just feels forced.
Water without ether can drown indistracting emotions because all
(08:07):
the symptoms of misalignmentemotionally get in the way.
Air without ether can spiralinto overthinking because there
are so many potential options.
Earth without ether can becomerigid, lifeless, and boring,
where it just feels like achore.
Ether is the integrator.
(08:29):
It turns each element into itsbest, most thriving version and
keeps them all in harmonytogether.
In money flow terms, it's whatensures that your earning, your
saving, your spending, yourinvesting.
All of the different directionsof movement that your money
(08:52):
brings life force energy into inyour business, all are able to
move together and move towardthe same purpose.
Ether really is that je ne saisquoi that would be hard to put
our finger on, and ultimately wewill never be able to, but we
can use your astrology chart asa tool to get pretty dang close
(09:15):
to.
And of course you take it fromthere because as far as I use
the tool of astrology, it'snever to blow your mind at
anything that you hadn't heardbefore.
It's more to shine the spotlighton those subtler whispers that
maybe have been overpowered byso many other influences that
(09:37):
have been in your ear.
Let's talk about the differencebetween chasing alignment, when
you're constantly seeking andtrying to find what works for
you, instead of creating from itand what it feels like to start
there with your cosmicalignment.
Chasing alignment looks liketrying every new strategy or
(09:58):
system because you see whatworks for other people and you
want to try it all on for sizefor yourself, which let's be
honest, never really works.
Maybe there's a high at first ofthe novelty of the new approach,
but they never truly feelsustainable and you are on to
trying the next thing soonafter.
(10:19):
This is energeticallyexhausting, time consuming, and
not to mention actuallyexpensive if you're hopping from
course to course to course.
It can look like constantlytweaking your offers to get them
just right or find your thing ina way that just feels like an
endless experimentation insteadof, getting closer to, and
(10:43):
refining and circling around,but moving in the direction of
that core truth of what you weredesigned to offer and how you
were designed to show up tooffer it.
Or it can look like waiting forperfect circumstances before
starting, because you can feelthat your approach just isn't
right.
(11:04):
Oftentimes, procrastination iscaused by this, without you even
realizing it because a part ofyou knows, why even get started
on something that's going to bea waste of your time?
Sure, you're going to learnsomething.
You are going to ultimately getcloser to what's right for you
by realizing what's not, butsomething in you intuitively
(11:26):
knows that that is not theefficient way to get there, so
you don't even take the firststep.
Maybe this means you're stuckdoing things in a way that you
kind of hate, right?
You don't even want to bothergoing on that path of
discovering through endlesstrial and error, what's yours.
On the flip side, creating fromalignment looks like clear,
(11:49):
consistent action that actuallyfeels natural for you.
You can tell when doingsomething feels right, you can
tell because it feels like, Iwas made for this.
You know that feeling.
There are areas in your lifewhere you feel that way, and if
it's not your business, it'stime to start using the cosmic
(12:10):
codes in your chart to go rightthere.
It's like a shortcut, they'rekind of like cheat codes, but is
it really cheating if they'rejust there and so easy for us to
look at?
I don't think so.
It ends up looking like offersand systems that grow with you
that feel like an authenticexpression of you at the time of
(12:30):
their conception, and then kindof take you for a ride of
knowing exactly how to adapt andimprove them because it's
mirroring your own process ofgrowth and adaptation and
improvement.
In this way, your business endsup being this vehicle that is a
reflection of your growth.
Like a mirror is able to show itto you to help illuminate it for
(12:54):
you from a different angle.
And let me tell you how muchmore fun your work becomes when
it's set up like this.
It looks like trusting yourtiming and knowing what's yours
to do right now.
So if you have been experiencingfeeling like you're behind, or
(13:15):
sometimes feeling like you'respinning your wheels or whatever
misalignment to right timing.
If things just feel off or ifyou just feel like there's so
many things you don't reallyknow what you should be working
on right now, these are allsymptoms of misalignment and
ultimately chasing, but missingalignment.
(13:35):
Whereas creating from thatrooted source space of alignment
with yourself and your design,means knowing that you are right
where you need to be and thatwhatever feels right for you
right now feels right, but alsois situated as part of an
awareness of a bigger plan thatyou're able to tune into.
(13:57):
You trust it.
You trust that whatever is beingplaced right in front of you,
you can give that your all andif you keep doing that and
giving your attention andpresence to that thing in front
of you over and over, ultimatelyeach of those things are part of
and supporting that greatervision and that greater cause
and everything is supporting themomentum in that direction.
(14:19):
Looking at it from this angle,ether isn't something you get.
It wants to be something thatyou start from, that special
something, that special saucethat animates you.
If this is all sounding reallygreat, but you're also realizing
that you have been building yourbusiness without a clear
connection to your cosmicalignment and that's got you
(14:42):
realizing that you've been doingit the hard way and that things
are feeling off because of thismissing piece, let's change
that.
Plan with the planets is my$7guide to sinking your weekly
workflow with the planetarydays, and this is such a great
place to start to bring in thecosmic forces into your
(15:04):
workflow.
Into your business, into yourlife, all starting with bringing
it into your real time workflow.
The seven days of the week areassociated with seven planets.
So for just$1 a day, you candial in when to take inspired
action, when to handle details,when to make big decisions, and
(15:28):
when to rest.
Basically structure all of thethings that you already know you
need to do in a week, but tomove them around so that they
align with a natural cycle oftime that is much, much older
than we are, a way that theancients used to align with the
planets, that just feels right.
(15:51):
I'll give you the example thatMonday is Moon Day and the world
tells us that as the first dayof the work week, we should hit
the ground running, right?
It's the day to be on fire andstart your week.
When really Monday Moon Daywants to be the day that you
align with the moon and you geteverything in place to feel
(16:12):
prepared, to calm your nervoussystem, and to feel ready to
take on your week.
To then hit the ground runningTuesday with Mars Day, which is
how this world defines Monday.
In any case, and suffice it tosay, it's all so backwards with
how we've been taught.
So this guide, Plan with thePlanets will get you reoriented
(16:34):
to the natural days of the week,so that you can begin your
relationship with the cosmicforces of these planets.
You can go get that guide atcosmicb.link/planwithplanets.
And at checkout, you can alsoadd Your Cosmic Team, which is a
private 7 day immersion with me,where you'll meet your inner
(16:58):
cosmic team, your uniquerelationship to each of the
seven planets that correspond toeach of the days of the week.
So that you can learn intimatelyhow to work with each of them
for maximum flow, clarity andaligned action.
Inside a private Telegramcontainer, you'll get daily
(17:19):
voice notes, which some peoplehave described as their own
personal, private podcast, plusthe spaciousness each day to
integrate each of the planet'sguidance together in real time.
This is my central way to workwith the cosmic forces in your
birth chart to align yourefforts with the ways you were
(17:41):
designed inside your business.
You can grab your Plan with thePlanet's Guide and kick off Your
Cosmic Team experience if youare ready at
cosmicb.link/planwithplanets.
When it comes to alignment, ofcourse, however there are tools
and there are practices that cansupport you to stay there more
(18:04):
often, but it is not a placethat any of us humans live in
all the time.
Now let's look at how torecognize when you're out of
alignment and how to come backbecause ultimately it's a kind
of muscle that we strengthen,although just as balanced with
our capacity to surrender andreceive.
Here's some signs that you mightbe out of alignment.
(18:24):
If everything feels like pushingsomething uphill.
Stuff just feels forced, itdoesn't feel easy.
It feels like everything takesup way more effort than really
makes sense, and by the end ofthe day you are just exhausted.
When you're in flow, even doingis energizing.
So if you're feeling drained,you might be out of alignment.
(18:46):
Another is if you find yourselfsaying yes out of fear, not
desire.
Making choices because you'reafraid of what the alternative
might mean, or making moves totry and mitigate against
something that you're worriedabout instead of making choices,
making moves because it feels inalignment.
(19:08):
I know you're not supposed touse the word with the
definition, but because it feelsin sync with the direction that
you're actually going and thedesires that support that
positive, forward moving, growthoriented direction.
Another sign might be that themoney's coming in, but it
doesn't feel satisfying.
(19:28):
This one is so common.
As a tax preparer I worked withso many people that were
actually making good money, butthey didn't feel like they ever
had anything to show for it.
They had just as much going outand at the end of the day, at
the end of the month, at the endof the year, they had nothing
extra.
There was no overflow for asavings account or investments
(19:51):
or their future or anything elsethat they wanted to flow money
to.
It's really a matter of qualityover quantity when it comes to
the money stuff and alignment.
When you're aligned, it feelslike things are coming in to
move through you, to water andfund and fertilize everything
that matters to you.
(20:12):
Whereas when you're out ofalignment, it really doesn't
matter how much money is comingin, it's never going to feel
like enough and it's never goingto feel satisfying.
If you notice that you're there,if it feels like you are
striving, trying, forcing,pushing uphill, if you find
yourself being motivated morefrom fear or worry or what you
(20:34):
don't want, instead of fromdesire and inspiration and what
you're working toward.
And if it doesn't matter howmuch money is coming in, things
just feel off.
Let these be signals to you thatit is time to come back into
alignment, which by the way, isnot about fixing what's wrong,
but rather about retuningyourself.
(20:55):
I suggest when you notice thisis happening, that you slow down
and reconnect with your values.
Such a big part of what connectsus with who we are, with our
truth, with our center is whatwe uniquely value.
That's not going to be the sameas everybody else.
If you're misaligned, it mightbe because you've been operating
(21:17):
under someone else's valuesystem.
Some influence that got intoyour head, that made you think
something was important thatdoesn't really matter to you the
way that it does to the rest ofthe world.
Revisit your big picture vision.
Sometimes we just get into theweeds with stuff and we need to
reconnect with our why, oursense of purpose and the
(21:41):
intention that is guiding andleading us forward.
I am not just talking about likequarterly goals.
I'm talking about your biggerwhy that motivates you.
Oftentimes we fall out ofalignment because we lose our
connection to that.
So take a moment and tune backinto it.
And of course, looking to yourchart for current timing and
(22:03):
focus points.
I cannot tell you how many timesthings have just fell off to me,
which as an astrologer, that'smy cue.
I am not always looking at mychart or tuning into the
transits, but when things arenot working and I just feel all
the ways that I described in the"signs you're out of alignment"
(22:23):
part of this conversation, wejust moved through.
I'll end up pulling up my chart,'cause I'm like,"yo, what is
happening?" And something justjumps out at me and I'm like,
"oh, okay." That's how I'm outof alignment.
A lot of times things have justshifted, right?
We're not meant to be in thesame place the same time all the
(22:44):
time.
Astrology shows us that there'sa wheel of change and it's
always turning and alignment inone season is going to look very
different to alignment inanother.
In Our birth chart, the snapshotof the moment of that energetic
imprint, shows us the kinds ofthemes that we will face our
(23:05):
entire lifetime in this body,and helps to reorient us toward
the higher vision, the idealembodiment of each of those
parts of us so that they canwork together to help us be and
become the version of ourselfthat is the most satisfied, the
most fulfilled, and feels themost aligned.
(23:27):
Ultimately alignment is, itfeels right to me, it feels
right to me right now, and myactions, my behaviors, and my
thoughts are all in congruencewith that which feels right to
me, and to me right now, all ofthese things are in agreement.
(23:47):
This leads us to why your cosmicblueprint is the ultimate
business plan.
Your chart is going to help youget out of sticky, misaligned
times in your life, help toretune and reorient you toward
what feels like flow and getsyou where you want to go.
But also as business owners, ourbusiness is a vehicle for us to
(24:12):
do all of this, right?
We're not just in it for money,we're in it to be able to grow,
to become more of our potential,and to be able to show up in
service in the ways that we weredesigned to.
That's why being aware of yourastrology as the CEO and central
force in your business, I defineCEO as central energy organizer.
(24:36):
You are the center of yourbusiness, and that's why your
chart is so helpful to besuccessful, to feel fulfilled
internally, externally, insideof your business.
Because your chart holds yournatural rhythm, your motivators,
your growth edges, yourcommunication styles, the people
(24:58):
that you're meant to impact, somany things that matter in
business, and it also shows theseasons of your business life
unfolding.
When to plant when to build,when to harvest, and when to
rest.
This is the cycle that we repeatover and over and over again
(25:19):
that our business also wants tobe able to have the spaciousness
to move through.
When it comes to the moneystuff, building your money
practice and your overallbusiness strategies on this
foundation means you never haveto be out of sync with yourself
to show up for your business,this is ether's true gift.
(25:40):
It makes every action, everypiece of work that you do an
expression of your originaldesign.
Ether is the thread, it is thehum under the music, the current
beneath the waves.
It is what holds every otherelement together and what holds
you in your truest expressionthrough the vehicle of your
(26:04):
business.
Which is why when you starthere, everything else has a
place to land and knows exactlywhere to go.
Your business, your money flow,your vision, all of it gets
organized around the magic ofthe fingerprint of your unique
design.
If you're ready to work withyour cosmic alignment every
(26:25):
single day of every single week,let your business be an altar of
those expressions moving throughyou.
