00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:22.719
Aloha, and welcome to Your Heart Magic, an illuminating space where psychology, spirituality, and heart wisdom meet.
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:24.160
Here's your host, Dr.
00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:30.800
Bethane Kapansky Wright, author, psychologist, and spiritual educator.
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.159
Aloha, everybody.
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.079
Welcome to Your Heart Magic.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:36.640
This is Dr.
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.799
Bethane Kapansky Wright.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:48.560
And today we have an energy update for the week ahead where we will talk about some of the Akashic energy and astrological transits.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:56.240
We will be looking at mental health perspectives and tools for grounding the wisdom into us.
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:04.480
I have an Oracle card pool that I'll be doing as well to support today's message and a really fun creative prompt.
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:11.519
But first, a little bit of storytelling to help illustrate and introduce the energy this week.
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.920
As most of you know who have been listening to this, I have been working on my own Oracle deck.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.920
And this is not an announcement on the update to what's coming next with that.
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.959
It is still very much a work in progress.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:32.879
But what I wanted to share is the behind the scenes that when I started working on this, it really began with a thread.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.040
I actually woke up one time.
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:40.079
This is back in 2022, and it was probably around like 12 a.m.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:40.959
or something like that.
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.439
I just remember it was the middle of the night.
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:54.400
And I had this picture in my mind where I saw cards with really fun gemstones on them and kind of sparkly fun artwork.
00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:13.439
And I had a sense of these cards being like a jewelry box, something that if you were to open up a treasure chest or open up a box, I guess, of jewelry and dig around in it, you might pull out these little gems and be delighted at what you found.
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:25.520
I think at the time I had this idea that if you've ever gone to a vintage store or an antique store, or maybe going through a family member's antique collection.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:33.599
And as a little kid, maybe you even pull something out and it's sparkly and delightful and speaks to something in your heart.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:42.159
And that was the point that I got out of bed and I went and got my computer and I sat down and opened up Canva and I started creating.
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:50.879
And I started working on the art for this Oracle deck, which is these fun jewels to go with this idea of the jewelry box.
00:02:51.120 --> 00:03:11.039
And as I was doing that, I already knew that I had a binder filled with

messages and different writings and musings that I done that I had really brought through in my alone time, my solitude, my spirit time, my heart space during my first few years on the island.
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.080
And I thought, oh, that's what these messages are for.
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.639
They're meant to be paired with these cards.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.280
And there are Oracle cards in this.
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.960
And that's how the deck began.
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:28.800
I had thought about it for a long time before ever taking a step to doing it, and certainly have a lot of ideas on different decks I'd like to do.
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:35.520
I would love to do a whole line of these future goals, but we all have to start somewhere.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.319
And at the time, that is how this oracle began.
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.080
And over the years, I've put it aside and almost forgotten about it and then felt drawn to come back to it.
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:54.400
And it was only recently, over the course of the last nine months, that I really felt it speak to my heart again and started setting some deadlines and little goals for me.
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.639
So I would follow through on it.
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:04.800
And I kind of have an idea of next steps, what I might like it to look like, where I think I want to try and submit it.
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:13.759
I'm not sure if it will be accepted for publishing or if it's something that I might end up doing by myself and self-publishing.
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.599
So stay tuned for all of that.
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.000
I will keep you posted as I know.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:35.360
But what I wanted to share with this illustration so far is that this has been a journey of just taking the next step and feeling called to move my energy and create something, even though I haven't been entirely sure what the finished product will look like.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.959
I certainly know more now than I did back in February of 2022, is when that happened and I first had that vision.
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:51.519
But I don't know what it will look like a year from now and when, how, where it might be published, and what the finalized version will look like.
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.000
But I know it's right for me to do this work.
00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:02.079
I feel it inside of me, and I feel a call and a pool and being lit up every time I engage with it.
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:16.480
And I think that feeling of knowing something is right or feeling called to take a step, even when we can't see the full path, is exactly what came through in the Akashic records this week for the energy.
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:25.600
This week's energy feels like a continuation, but also a deepening of what's been building throughout the month of April.
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:35.680
Last week was all about movement and momentum, a sense of things beginning to shift, maybe new breakthrough or clarity came through for you.
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:43.680
Perhaps it was just that next right step or seeing something that you are being called to step into on the path.
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.319
And this is the week that we're being invited to trust the movement.
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:54.000
And the message from the Akashic Records is be led by the path before you.
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.639
Trust your instincts, trust the direction you are heading.
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:20.800
Even if you don't yet see how everything fits together, there is a sense from the records that many of us are moving into new territory, new ways of being, new ways of making decisions, that we are moving and being and receiving and doing things differently than where we've been.
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:35.519
And so, because of that, things may feel both familiar yet also unfamiliar at the same time because we are drawing on everything we've known before, but we are also doing things differently now.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:44.639
So for many of us, this might feel like we have half the puzzle or have more pieces in place than we did six months or a year ago.
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.480
And that might feel really good.
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:54.079
We have been building on something and trusting in something, and yet there's all these unknowns that have yet to come through.
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.560
And we are being asked to trust that.
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:16.800
We are being asked to trust this dance of doing things the old way and then the new way and going back and forth between these different ways of being, where part of us might feel like, I know how to do this, I've got this, I can draw on previous experience to inform what I'm doing now.
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:24.079
And another part of ourselves might feel like I'm not entirely sure where this is leading, I don't know where this is going.
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.800
I don't even know if I'm stepping in the right direction.
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.879
Is it safe to trust?
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.920
And both of these ways are being or true.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:42.480
It's not about right or wrong or choosing one way over the other, but integrating them and trusting the path, trusting what we're building and trusting the next step.
00:07:42.720 --> 00:08:00.079
So the core invitation this week is about learning how to trust ourselves in the in-between space and trust our instincts and our inner guidance and the subtle pull toward what feels right, even when the outcome is still forming.
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:13.360
And as I'm sharing all of this, I'm just being reminded really spontaneously that the overarching message from the Akashic for the second quarter of 2026 was about exactly this.
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.480
It was about being in this transition space where we're no longer where we once were.
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.800
We can
feel that we're building something and we're making movement, but we're not entirely there yet.
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:35.759
And so those feelings of uncertainty or being in the no man's land, in-between space, being in limbo, all of that might be showing up for us.
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.200
Weaving in the astrology of all of this, it is now Taurus season.
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.480
And so the shift aligns with Taurus season.
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:48.080
Aries was this very intense fire energy.
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:58.240
It felt like a culmination last week with all this movement and a lot of passion and creativity and ideas of what we could do.
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.399
And Taurus is an earth sign.
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:09.279
So it brings us back into the body, it brings us back into the present moment, and it brings us back into what is steady and real.
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:26.879
And so Taurus asks us to work with the material world, the external world around us, and to slow down to feel into what's actually here, where are our roots, where are we grounded right now, where exactly are we in the present moment?
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.799
And then begin to live inside of what we've been building.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:45.200
So where Aries likes to get way ahead of itself, and that can be both positive and challenging, and have all this like rocket fire energy that kind of launches us into the possibility of what could be.
00:09:45.519 --> 00:10:01.840
Taurus asks us just to anchor into the right now and to embody the moment that we're in in all of the discomfort and uncertainty, and also in all the knowing and everything that we can appreciate that got us to this point.
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.879
And so we've been moving through that new moon in Aries energy.
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.039
And again, that was what did you initiate during the season?
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:12.960
What did you say yes to?
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.440
What has begun to move in your life?
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.320
And now all of that is asking to be integrated and embodied.
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:28.399
So we're not just thinking about it, we're not just envisioning it, but we're just being asked to be with it and live it right now.
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:34.399
And alongside this grounding energy, expansion is continuing to happen.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.279
There is a big transit happening right now.
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.840
Uranus is shifting into Gemini.
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:50.159
And I believe that's a transit where Uranus only changes signs about every seven years, and it hangs out in the same sign for about seven years.
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.720
And so Uranus is moving out of this very earth-based energy.
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:59.360
It's been in Taurus for the last seven years, which is an interesting conjunction.
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.720
Uranus is about doing things differently.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:10.720
It can call for personal rebellion and to think outside of the box and to be a little bit of a heart rubble.
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:20.240
That's how I think of Uranus, because a lot of times what it is helping us move towards is creating a vision in our life where we do things differently.
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:30.000
But oftentimes it's in service to a higher idea or the collective or something that furthers more than just ourselves along.
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:42.080
It's a way that we might offer up our life path or have our life path intersect with the communities and the collective around us and do something that's really for the greater good.
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:52.320
So I like to think about this as Uranus, as the heart rebel who just marches to the beat of their own drum and is really comfortable saying, oh, everybody else is doing it this way.
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.759
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go over here and I'm gonna challenge that and I'm gonna do it differently.
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.519
But what's interesting is Taurus is very slow-moving energy.
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:02.879
It's earth energy.
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.559
It can be a little bit of plotting energy sometimes.
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.879
It asks us to do things slowly.
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:18.799
And so we've had this interesting pairing the last seven years of these kind of contradictory energies where Uranus wants to break out and break free and do it differently.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.639
And Taurus asks us to slow down and ground in and root in and can sometimes be slow to move.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:31.519
So, depending on where that falls in your chart, it's not been the most comfortable transit for a lot of people.
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:36.080
But as it moves into Gemini, new movement is coming in.
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.399
And Gemini is about air and thought and perspective.
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:49.360
And so Uranus shifting into Gemini opens us up to new ideas, new perspectives, new ways of thinking.
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:59.519
Some of that new cognition and new thought might encourage us and inspire us to move or to act differently over the next seven years.
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:14.080
But all of that usually begins in the mind and with that Gemini air energy of how we are looking at the world around us, what our perspectives and understanding are, how we might look at others and our relationships with others.
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.000
Gemini is a very social sign.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:29.039
It's also about communication and our speech and how we self-express and then how we might feel called to do things differently in our relationships with others and our relationship with ourselves.
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:38.879
So this week holds this very unique combination where we are being deeply grounded while also being gently led into something new.
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:46.879
And the invitation becomes can
I trust the direction I'm being led even if I don't fully understand it yet?
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:56.879
Can I embody this moment and move with whatever this moment is calling me to do and stay curious about what is to come?
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:04.080
I have an oracle card to share this week from my future deck that aligns with this energy.
00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:06.960
And the card is become your dream.
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:12.639
And this is a card about embodiment, expression, and living your truth.
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:20.720
And the essence of this card says that you are not just here to imagine your life, you are here to live it.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:27.600
And the message from the card says there comes a moment when growth asks something more of you.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:40.000
Not more effort, not more striving, but more presence, more embodiment, more willingness to live as the version of yourself you've been becoming.
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:41.600
This is that moment.
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:48.159
You don't need to wait for full clarity, you don't need to have everything mapped out.
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.600
You are allowed to begin from where you are now.
00:14:52.080 --> 00:15:00.240
And our invitation from the card is what would it feel like to trust where I'm being led and take one step from that place?
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:08.240
And this card feels so aligned with this week because this isn't about figuring everything out before you begin.
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:18.960
It's about trusting the path as you walk it and trusting that as we take that next right step, the ground will rise up to meet us there.
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:25.840
And through our act of faith, through our act of trust, we create the step that comes after that.
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:35.440
So from a psychological perspective, this week sits in a really important space, and it's the space between control and trust.
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:45.759
So you may feel both grounded and uncertain, both confident and questioning, both in charge and also letting go.
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.679
And that's not a problem.
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.440
That's actually the work.
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:57.600
That is the tension and the friction we're all being asked to drop into and to find acceptance and grounding there.
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:08.080
So we can start with normalizing the in-between because growth often looks like knowing how to take the next step without knowing where the whole path leads.
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.360
It's amazing to me how much we want the blueprint.
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.879
I still want the blueprint.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.879
I understand that even as I keep learning to trust, I'm always curious about what's next and what's coming.
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.720
And if I was just certain, of course I'd know how to step more confidently.
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:28.000
And that is not why we are here as humans having this spiritual journey.
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:41.200
We are here to learn how to trust, here to learn how to listen to what's inside of us, move our energy, take the step however we feel called, and have a little bit of faith in the process.
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.960
That's how we work with both our logic and our intuition.
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.879
It's how we work with both control and also letting go.
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:57.360
So when we feel that way and we're in that space where we're taking a step, but we don't know where it's going, it doesn't mean we're lost.
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:58.879
It means we're growing.
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:01.840
We can also trust our internal signals.
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:11.119
And instead of asking what's the right decision, we can try what feels steady right now, even if it feels unfamiliar.
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:19.440
Or you might ask yourself what feels right or what feels most right, even if I'm not entirely sure.
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.519
Because often when our intuition speaks, it is quiet.
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:26.079
It also tends to be grounded.
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:35.279
And it also tends to be gently persistent, where we just keep coming back to the same thought or idea or action step again and again.
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:49.359
And it could be very simple, but there's a consistency that often comes from our intuitive process when we can get into our hearts and really listen to our inner voice, but it's never loud or urgent, and it's never fear-based.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.960
There's a groundedness and a calm to it, usually.
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.279
We can also allow for new ways of being and normalize allowing for new ways of being.
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:04.160
We're not meant to respond to life in the same way that we always have.
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:11.599
We're not meant to use our old map of self to navigate the new territory that we're moving through.
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:21.680
We are meant to take that map and maybe extract what we've learned to help us navigate with a little bit more confidence or a little bit more skill.
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:29.039
But we are also meant to give ourselves permission that there are some things we just don't know and we're going to need to grow into.
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:38.640
So if you feel drawn to doing things differently, are ready to shift a pattern, or like you are opening to something new, you can trust that.
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.039
You don't have to force change.
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:46.319
You do not have to force an interpretation and figure out what all of it means.
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:49.759
These things are just happening of their own accord.
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.440
Change is happening.
00:18:51.599 --> 00:19:08.480
And the interpretation will come over time through just living this new path and seeing what comes through and having a bigger arc of space and time and
experience to reflect on to make more meaning out of it at a later date.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:18.160
So this week is about integrating self-trust with embodied presence while also allowing growth to unfold in real time.
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.680
Our creative prompt this week is really a reflection prompt and a journaling prompt.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:35.200
And so to take this message a little deeper into your own process, you might reflect on where in your life do you feel guided right now, even if you don't fully understand why?
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:47.279
This is a fun question to ask yourself and to really look at whether it's a big external change or whether you feel something is shifting in you or shifting in your inner world.
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.000
Where are you being guided, even if you don't have the full picture of it?
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.920
And then what feels different to how you're approaching things now?
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.599
What is your new understanding of where you're at?
00:19:59.920 --> 00:20:02.880
And do you feel differently inwardly?
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.640
Is there anything that you can notice as a shift in you?
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:13.440
And then asking yourself as well, what would it look like to trust this direction and take one step forward?
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.519
How does that translate for you in a practical way?
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:27.119
So some open-ended journaling prompts that you might write about might be I am learning to trust, fill in the blank with whatever it is.
00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:30.160
I feel drawn toward dot dot dot.
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:38.640
And even though I don't know the full path, I can and write how you wish to work with the path.
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.039
I love doing this and writing about who I wish to become or how I wish to navigate something.
00:20:45.200 --> 00:21:00.720
I feel like when I am in a space in life where I feel uncertain, I can at least sit in my journal and I can write about like I want to move in this time of my life with acceptance and faith and keep learning to trust my heart.
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:14.400
And it's my way of kind of pointing my heart in the direction I want to go and reminding myself of what still feels real to me, what values I might hold dear, even if I have no idea what's coming next.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:19.359
So this week is not about forcing direction or figuring everything out.
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:28.400
It's about the recognition that you are already being led step by step and choice by choice and moment by moment.
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.400
You don't need the full picture.
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:37.519
You just need to stay connected to yourself because the path isn't something you have to create from scratch.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.680
You are not starting from base camp or ground zero.
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:47.920
The path is something that is already unfolding, and you are learning how to trust it.
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.240
Thank you so much for joining me on the podcast today.
