Join Zoey Sanchez as we discuss how a childhood tragedy led her to fascination with death and dying, and how her skills as an Occupational Therapist prepared her for a new role as a Death Doula. Losing a human loved one is hard, but losing a pet can often be harder. We touch on helping stroke patients improve their lives, hospice, life in the ICU, and the importance of holding space.   Zoey Sanchez, www.TheEarthlyExit.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theearthlyexit/ Beverly Biehl, www.TheIntuitiveInterior.com

May 5-June 4 is the Yin Earth Snake month. The overall energy is characterized by #34, Great Power. This card indicates that this will be a month of illumination, of noticing where the examples of self-respect, character, and dignity are. It can be a month of self-restraint as others are swinging from one extreme to another. The Snake is considered lucky in Chinese culture, as it has the body of the Dragon. That makes this month extra potent in this year of the Dragon.   Card #2, The Receptive, Focus line 1: This "pure Yin" card is referred to in the Tao as the Divine Mother, eternally birthing all things. Last month we had the pure Yang card, so this month is the time to go within to see what seeds have been planted, and what needs to be nurtured. It's a call to pause, look at your impending transformation, and still keep moving forward.   Card #8, Holding Together, Focus line 5: This month holds the energy of "finding your tribe", of coming together to create a bond that will allow everyone to move in harmony. No longer is it cool for the "me first" attitude to disrupt the whole. Perhaps it's time for you to step up and become the glue that holds the group together!   Card #12, Standstill, Focus line 3: With all of the Yin Earth in the cards, it can feel like the Dust Bowl in the 1930's in the middle of America; clouds of fine dust clogging things up, making it difficult to see and even breathe at times. Back then, people had to retreat inside. This is time to turn inwards, to pretend that you are in a cozy retreat as you contemplate, create, and nourish your sense of well-being. Best days for May: 5/8, 9, 13, 20, 21, 25, 6/1, 6/2 Clash days (where friction can bring progress): 5/10, 11, 22, 23, 6/3, 6/4 Good days to get noticed: 5/5, 17, 29   **Contest!

When the month animal is the same as the year animal, the energy is doubled. This can feel scary and intense, but just remember that anything good can also get doubled! We are also experiencing Mercury Retrograde from April 1-25, so expect delays, frustrations, communication challenges, as well as fixing problems that needed closure, finding new pathways to understanding, and lots of creative problem-solving opportunities. Toss in a Full Solar Eclipse on the 8th, and it becomes even more exciting!   The I Ching card for the month of the Yang Earth Dragon is #10, Treading. It's primary message is to conduct yourself with great self-awareness and responsibility. Notice when the ego is driving the bus vs the Soul/essence. This is especially important with Mercury Retrograde, since many like to use that particular optical illusion as the excuse for bad behavior, rudeness, and making others wrong when the reality is closer to us not proceeding with the requisite caution and sensitivity. This month, notice when you are acting on "auto-pilot" when greater awareness is actually what is needed.   Clarifying cards:   36, Darkening of the Light, focus line 2 * This card felt a little too "on the nose" with the Eclipse energy that will be present at the start of the month. However, it's a great reminder to look inward first, to reduce your profile temporarily, and use your "down time" for self-development.   25, Innocence, focus line 6   * This month, expect that our open-heartedness and trusting nature will feel vulnerable. Various groups may try to sway you into contorting yourself into a protective and defensive stance. Resist this, as the ability to be spontaneous and enthusiastic will be needed to ride the waves of the doubled energy. Comparison and rationalization will only lead to exhaustion and frustration.   1, The Creative, focus line 6 * This card is a pure Yang card. It represents ultimate potential and is known as Dragon Power. It is the inspired spark that leads to creation and expansion. Be aware that the ego can distort this power with arrogance, leading to a fall. Notice when you are not listening to the divine feminine, as the pure Yin energy is always there to offer intuition, gentleness, and harmony.   35, Progress, focus line 2 *   Again, a little "on the nose" with this card. It's all about looking at things in the full "light of the day", with a focus on enhanced clarity and exposing what would have preferred to live in the dark. This card, which fell out unexpectedly, is a caution to again check the ego's need for "specialness". It's good to acknowledge one's efforts and successes, but dwelling on finding ways to impress others with your achievements may impact the ability to notice the actions necessary for the next move.   Conflict dates: 4/4, 4/16, 4/28 (Dog days) Spotlight dates: 4/10, 4/22, 5/4 (Dragon days)   https://www.theintuitiveinterior.com/book-now

The Yin Fire Rabbit month translates to the I Ching card 41, Decrease. It's a month to use the Yin Fire energy to inspire a hard look at people, possessions, and passions to see if they still deserve a spot in your life. Decrease isn't always a bad thing. Think of it as Spring Cleaning. The decluttering and purging energy can increase resourcefulness, creativity, and lighten the energetic load.   The clarifying cards bring extra nuance to the energy of the month: #53, Development, focus line 6 This focuses on cooperation, integrity, making gradual progress, and being adaptable to changing situations. It's also speaking about the need to face where you need to improve yourself in order to get to the root of your challenges.   #42, Increase, focus line 4 Sharing your resources will help to expand your humanitarian footprint. This will in turn increase your own abundance by encouraging others to do the same. When combined with the "Decrease" aspect of letting go of clutter and excess, it can create win-win situations all around. #   34, Great Power, focus line 1 Many have the capacity to influence others on a grand scale. Without a strong character, this power can become distorted and show up as belligerence, dogmatism, or other example of gross egotism. If you find yourself in a position of power, take care that you aren't "punching down" to maintain that. Using power in a negligent manner will likely end poorly, so act with integrity and dignity. The path will be paved with honor and strength, not a crumbling veneer.   https://intentionalnetworker.com/books/ https://www.beverlybiehl.com/ https://www.theintuitiveinterior.com/

Patti DeNucci and I discussed the Energy of Conversations! Her curiosity over what made them so easy for her and so challenging for others sparked an eagerness to study just what it takes to connect with others. The epidemic of loneliness is absolutely tied to the feeling that making friends is hard. We spend so much time behind the screen, that we either get rusty at face to face communication, or maybe never really were comfortable in the first place. Patti is an award-winning author, speaker, workshop facilitator, and connector. Her two books on how to network and create conversations have been lifesavers for many who aren't as gifted in the art of gab.   https://intentionalnetworker.com/books/ https://www.beverlybiehl.com/ https://www.theintuitiveinterior.com/
