Speaker 2 (00:27):
Welcome to your astrological Energy. I'm your host, Carmen Turner's
Shot and this is a show about astrology, spirituality, and
the energy of the stars. And we are here this
week to talk about the astrological forecast for March first
through seven. And I'm really excited to have a special
guest on with me today to talk about this week's

(00:49):
energies and her new book, Blocked to Powerful, And her
name is Cheryl Stelt and we are here to talk
about astrology and chakras and her energy healing work and
whatever comes up this week. So welcome to the show, Cheryl.
How are you?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Thank you so much, Carmen. I am. I am thrilled
to be here and be a part of all that
you're contributing to humanity at this time.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Thank you. I love I love having special guests. I
love the work you're doing, and so, you know, just
for those listeners out there, you know, we're going to
talk about, you know, just some of the astrological events
that will be impacting the world this week March first
through seven, to kind of give you the update to

(01:38):
prepare for this week. And the biggest thing that you know,
I talked about last show with the audience share. I
told them, you know that Mercury, the planet of communication,
is retrograde, and when that happens, it's a time you know,
to reflect and reassess and redo sometimes and have to

(01:58):
completely change our routines. It it messes with communication and technology.
And I don't know about you, but I've been having
lots of technology things going on and I'm like, yeah,
Mercury retrograde. So I'm wondering, you know, what do you
think about this mercury retrograde energy. It's in Pisces. Mercury
is retrograde in the sign Pisces, which makes us a

(02:21):
little dreamy and spiritual and a little bit wanting to
withdraw and have solitude. I don't know if you're feeling that.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yes, it's it's so interesting because yes, I don't just
see it in myself with technical things and schedules kind
of getting messed up and that sort of thing in
mercury and retrograde. But I'm also what I'm witnessing in
myself and in others, it's a time to evolve through
mercury and metrograde. That there's it's like a very powerful

(02:55):
spiritual spike that kind of comes up in it, this energy.
It's time you can utilize this. Yes, while the world
is in comflux around us, that we can. We can.
It's a time to raise our vibrations, to release what
hasn't served us even for an entire lifetime. I had

(03:15):
two clients yesterday who just had such profound healings and
letting go of these old, painful traumatic patterns that they
open up to the new of who they truly are.
So mercury and retrograde, I've never experienced anything like it,
and I wonder if it's so, I mean, you would know.

(03:35):
Does it have anything to do with it being so
close to the eclipse?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes, this is a very big week. I mean there's
a lot. We've been through a lot this month. The
month or the month of February was really intense, and
we're still feeling that because we had we had an
eclipse in February and then we also had the Neptune
Saturn and Aries conjunction year old degrees, which was a

(04:01):
big shift of a new beginning of energy coming in,
and that might be you know, like you said, that
makes sense that your clients are like ready to release
old patterns and start fresh and new, because that's kind
of what we're all being called to do right now
astrologically too. So I think it's playing out in people's

(04:21):
lives and I'm kind of seeing that with my clients
as well that i'm helping. They have these similar patterns
of really transforming their lives and letting go of things
that they've carried with them for fifty sixty years, and
all of a sudden, they're like, I'm ready to release this,
i don't care anymore. I'm ready to be happy. I'm
ready to feel healed. And so I think a lot

(04:43):
of people are seeking hanling right now and wanting to
grow and evolve like you said, and raise their vibrations.
So I think it is important what mercury retrograde kind
of does in astrology energy is it makes us slow down,
and it's a good time. It makes us rethink things
kind of instead of doing doing doing, It's like, okay, wait,

(05:06):
we just need to kind of withdraw. Let's take a
look at what we've been doing. Let's process it. Let's
look at am I doing what I'm really meant to do?
Am I on track? You know, am I? You know
what is what am I feeling? And so it's kind
of a time of rest, you know. It forces us
to kind of go inward a little bit. And so

(05:26):
it's a four to six week energy and we have
the shadow and the you know, the about a week
before we start feeling it, and then the week after
and then because it is affecting us, it started the
end of February, so it's going till about mid March,
mid March, it goes till March twenty. But we're in

(05:47):
it right now the beginning of the month. And I
think the other big thing is that because it's in Pisces,
Mars also enters Pisces this week on March second. And
Mars is the planet of energy, drive, passion, power, you know, really,

(06:07):
Mars to me is is the warrior planet. You know,
it helps us fight and overcome obstacles, and I feel
like it's a resilient energy and it's impissy, so it
can get us really passionate about our spirituality, our spiritual work,
our creativity, you know, our our healing, lots of things
like that. So I think it's I like it. They

(06:28):
say it's in detriment though, when you know, Mars is
not in the best place when it's in Pisces because
it's a fire energy and Pisces is water, so it
kind of tones down our passions a little bit, maybe
even has us not feel comfortable expressing anger, frustration. We
may turn it inward kind of energy and it just

(06:50):
is what's affecting us for a little while. It'll shift,
you know. These are just energies. And the big thing
is I love your opinion on on these eclipses. So
Mark third, we have a full moon total lunar eclipse
in Virgo, the sign of Virgo, and so you know,
all of the mutable signs are really affected greatly, which

(07:12):
should be Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, and Gemini. They're the mutable sign,
so they're going to be affected. And with the full moon,
I always tell the audience full moons are powerful times
and I always tell them how important is to see
where the where the moon is, what sign it's in
because of that moon sign changes every two to three days.

(07:32):
So we talk about that on the show and how
that energy is affecting us day to day. We feel different.
You know, some days we might be really energized and go, go, go,
want to get things straight and be out driving around.
Next day we just want to stay home and we
want to cuddle and be lazy. So we have these
different energies in this full moon is already intense. Because

(07:53):
of the full moon, it brings up stuff to release.
So in your healing work, you know, do you work
with the full moon energy at all or do you
see it connected to when people you know, the chakras
and when people heal, or different issues coming up or
blockages and things like that.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, yes and no. The moon. I love the moon.
I used to do moon bathing, I remember decades ago
on the beach. But what I would say, I pay
attention to where the moon is at because I do
witness an alignment to that. You know, if it's a
new moon, that my clients are in a new phase,

(08:34):
which is very different than the full moon, where something
comes to completion, and so watching that and the fullness
of the full moon, and I just want to comment
about you know, this time, it's a time to go inward,
to know who we are spiritually, to reflect and it's

(08:55):
very hard for us, people in the West so to
speak to that sort of thing, because our conditioning is
all about doing, expressing, creating, and we're so much that way,
whereas to take a step back and be receptive. It's
and if you, if you think of it this way,
rest is allowing what wants to come through, allowing what

(09:22):
wants to come through, and so especially at this time,
and like you say, this four to six week period,
I've seen it for myself. I'm not. I'm not you know,
active on social media. It's really time to go inward.
And what wants to come through is never what we
can imagine. And that's what I'm seeing in all my clients.

(09:44):
They're like wow, because I help my clients become who
they truly are, which is who they cannot currently imagine
at all. And they and I'll say to them, could
you imagine this? So it's it's like they come in
and they think they know a lot, and Okay, they
know what their intention is. But what wants to come

(10:05):
through is ever, ever, ever what they can imagine. And
so this, this full moon eclipse is actually an invitation
to not only see what has been hidden, but to witness,
not fix it, but to face it with clarity. And
in my work, it's not like forcing change during moments

(10:28):
like this, it's I help people clear what's been getting
in the way, what's been running underneath people. All my
clients say, wow, nobody goes deeper than you. And they've
been they've done the therapy, they've done other kinds of
healing modalities, they've been on a spiritual path for years.
But I like to go so deep into the subconscious.

(10:49):
So it's releasing old patterns that may not even be recognized,
so that you can move into your next level without resistance.
And one thing to remember about this eclipse is that
eclipses reveal. Yeah, we allow, they open up. Eclipses reveal
and it's your alignment to that that sustains. So the rest,

(11:14):
the going inward and allowing is important. So you can
experience that reveal and then you act and then it's
aligning to it, and it's an experience, it's not through
the left brain. It's not a thinking, it's aligning. You
start with the left brain, but you can bring it
into your subconscious so your whole system adjusts itself in

(11:40):
alignment to that. So you can really make the most
of this time in your healing and empowerment, in your
allowing and allowing the truth of your being, your divinity
to really shine through.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I like that, and you know that's that's the thing
I love about astrology is that you know, to me
energy and it's this energy in our body around us,
our spiritual you know, it's a spiritual thing to me,
astrology and it affects all of us. It affects animals,
even if we don't believe in astrology. The planets, and
it's their energies are affecting especially you know, the moon

(12:15):
cycles and and and it's amazing, you know, the reader's
research on it, which I always share on the show
about the full moon, you know, affects the tides of
the ocean, and of course it affects life on earth
and and when we work with these energies and it's
very powerful. I've studied rekium I do. I'm a reiki
master and I love energy handling. I don't do it

(12:38):
on others. I used to. I do it on my
on myself, my pet, my family, But astrology and counseling
is more my thing now. But I love energy and
and that's how I I know astrology is so accurate
because I feel people's energies and their personality traits, and
it's deep and and it's very deep work. It's beyondwards,

(12:59):
you know, to me, it's astrology and energy healing. The
work you're doing is ten times more powerful than talk therapy.
So you know, I used to be, you know, a
talk therapist, but I've always had astrology as a tool
of self awareness that I use with clients, and then
the energy work and all these different modalities, And I
think on my show, I really want to open people's

(13:21):
minds by having guests like you that share all of
these different alternative treatments, these different powerful spiritual things. It's
not just about traditional medicine or traditional talk therapy. There's
more things that you can do that get deeper, that
can really heal things quickly. And I've experienced that myself,

(13:45):
and so that's why I'm glad that you can be
on the show today to talk with me a little bit.
So we're going to talk a little bit about the
rest of the week, and then I'll take a short
commercial break and we're going to come back and we'll
talk about your new book. So the the rest of
the week. You know, the biggest thing is is if
you know astrology, or even if you don't, you can

(14:08):
go to astro dot com or you can contact me
at Carmen turnershot dot com and I can look at
your birth chart to see where this eclipse is happening
in your birth chart. So we would want to see
the transit chart on top of your berth chart to
see what house which is, what area of life, what energies,
what things is this eclipse bringing up for you? What

(14:30):
things are you releasing, what areas are you going to
be focused on? And we do the same thing with
the new moon, which we had. You know, we just
did a new moon a couple of weeks ago. So
what we're gonna do is see where that's at. And
for Virgo, you're gonna look at where is the sign
Virgo in your birth chart. We all have all twelve
planets or all twelve signs somewhere on our birth wheel.

(14:54):
Even if we don't have planets in Virgo, you're gonna
have one of those signs. So those energies of Virgo
will affect whatever area of life or goes on, and
this eclipse will be in that house, that area, you know.
For me, it'll be in my first house. I have
Virgo rising and my charts, so the house of self identity.
And I'm already feeling that, like things I need to

(15:16):
let go of and and who I am, you know,
without my I quit my job last year, changed my
whole career after twenty five years long story. Doing my
my soul work. Now what actually brings me join fulfillment
and and doing that one hundred percent. But it's a
process of healing and you know, and and and working
through the past and letting go and and realizing you know,

(15:39):
you're where you're meant to be. So this full moon
in or clips I think can can bring up emotions
for us to feel, and so I just want to
encourage you to let yourself feel these emotions that come up.
This can be a pretty intense week of this Pisce's
energy because in Virgo, Pisces Virgo or polar opposite, so
they're similar it's really about, you know, balancing work with

(16:02):
rest and with self care and taking care of your health,
your routine, your physical body, but also your mind, body, spirit.
And the nodes of the moon are also in Pisces
and Virgo, which we've been talking about on lots of shows,
and that's an eighteen month transit that's going to affect
us into the summer, and we're all really feeling that
same kind of energy and this eclipse is going to

(16:24):
bring it up a little bit more intensify it, and
so just hang in there and this is a I
love this week. I think it's going to be great,
and just utilize these energies to heal and let go
and to fill your emotions, you know, and tap into it.
March six. The other main thing going is that the
planet of love, Venus, goes into Aries, so we might

(16:47):
be a little bit romantic, a little bit more straightforward, passionate,
want to go out, take our loved ones or our
spouse out for dinner, do something romantic. So there's going
to be a real intensified desire to tell people what
you really feel and how you feel about them and

(17:08):
things like that. So Venus Inaris is pretty romantic and
passionate energy. So I'm gonna take a short break and
we will be right back after the commercial.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Welcome back to your astrological energy. We're talking about the
astrology of March first through seven. And we are here
with Cheryl Stelt and she is the author of Block
to Powerful and she's been on the show today talking
about the energies and her perspective, and I'd love for
her to share with us. You know what inspired you

(18:39):
to write your new book, From Block to Powerful And
what's it about?

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Oh? Thank you, Yes, well, it's my third book. I
never planned on writing a second book or a third book.
So the opportunity came along, and it really it felt
like at the time it was my legacy book. I
was to write the book. The opportunity came along where
I just couldn't say no, and it was like, all right,

(19:08):
I'm writing another book. What is this one going to
be about? Because the first two books, I knew what
they were going to be about. And just like any
time in writing a book, our stuff comes up, you know.
So I had a little bit of that coming along,
a little bit of imposter syndrome because it's From Block
to Powerful the spiritual guide to accessing inner clarity and

(19:31):
authentic power. And whenever we write a book, it always
helps us grow and so I embraced the opportunity, and
you know, the bit of imposter syndrome came up around
who are you to talk about being powerful? You know,
but it really is the work I do. And this

(19:52):
particular book talks about how to go deeply into your
subconscious and trauma, all traumas, our early childhood family dysfunction
results that we have. You know, trauma science has proven
is encoded in the right side of the brain through
physical sensations and emotions, not through linear memories. So when

(20:16):
we're doing the mindset work to try and heal our
deepest patterns, it'll never be as effective as if we
could go into the subconscious. And so this book, like
my other two books, teaches you how to do that.
There's multiple practices in the book, and this particular book
doesn't just focus on meditation and the kind of meditation

(20:39):
I teach. I'm teaching you how to become your own
energy worker. So that is in there, and if you
really want to embrace that, you can click on the
show notes. I'm going to include my three powerful meditations,
and if you like those, you can contact me and
ask for more and I'll send you some really working

(21:03):
with going deeply into the emotions to release these blocks
and open up. And with this eclipse right now that's
going on, it's a fabulous time to grab the book
or any one of the books because it does bring
up emotions so you can process them. And with regarding
what's happening on March the sixth with Venus, it's really

(21:24):
a time to tell loved ones how you feel. Well,
even if you're not in a romantic relationship, what about
the relationship with this self. It's time to love yourself
up and share those passionate, loving, kind carrying emotions with yourself.
And so this book is about how to go deeper

(21:45):
than you ever have, than you ever have, And it
was based on an advanced nine month program that I
was doing at the time when the opportunity came along
and I was like, okay, I'm sharing way more than
I've ever shared from various modalities including shamanism, sufism. I'm
you know, and I'm not. I'm not a follower of

(22:07):
anyone religion, but I've studied multiple religions, multiple spiritual so
many modalities have lots of certifications, diplomas, that sort of thing,
but the fundamental basis is about and it really is
a time of you discovering who you truly are, and
that is not the person you can imagine. You have

(22:27):
no idea, and it's about opening up to that. And
so you can grab the book, start reading through it
and get into alignment. Set your intention that you're utilizing
this eclipse to allow the big reveal to come through you.
And it is a time of going inward, of resting
so that you can truly discover who you are. And

(22:52):
it's releasing those blogs that are getting in the way
that will then open up your light. You know, I
do a lot of chakra reading, and when I see
the chakras, I see them not as the images you
see in books and online. I see them as light
because they are energy centers. I see them as light,

(23:12):
and I see where your blocks are. They're black, the
energy isn't flowing, and I see what that's about. So
I look at every chakra from the top, bottom, sides,
the middle, everything and let you know what's going on
so that you can know what to do where it's
affecting your life and the shifts you can make, and

(23:34):
then you can become your own energy worker and do
that work for yourself. So that because we are all
beings of light. Science has proven that and we are
here to evolve. Humanity is evolving at a pace we
could have never imagined. Absolutely so cool to be a
part of it.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
It is.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I love it well, I'm so glad to have you
on today. I can't believe how quick these shows go.
But everyone, she's gonna send the meditations and when I
on social media will post, you know, all her information
to to to you know, see how to contact her
and all of that. I'm going to market it on
my page. I'll tag I'll tag you if you are

(24:16):
on social media, and to the email distros. We can
email out. And I'm so glad you came on today
and I just want to thank you for sharing your
your new book block to powerful and thank you for
being here. And go out everyone where all books are
sold and get her book. It's it's really powerful because

(24:36):
you know, energy is everything, and just like she said,
the chakras are energy and the planetary Trendsit's affect our body,
they affect our energies, they affect our blockages. It's all connected.
And so happy to have you guys listening to your
astrological energy and if you're interested, I'm teaching a class
in March on astrology and past lives. We talk about

(24:59):
the North and South no to the Moon and your

sole mission. And if you would like more information, you
