diana: Welcome to Beyond the Spiritual Nexus, your cosmic connection. I'm your host, Diana Rose, and I'm Xandra. Welcome back to Cosmic Monday, where we like to talk about all things mystical, magical, and supernatural. Now we do hope that you all felt the divine protection from last week's episode on Guardian Angels, but today we are flipping the script. We wanted to change the pace and open the floor entirely up to you. That's right. Today is all about community. We are diving into a cosmic QA today. We will be answering the burning mystical questions that you have been sending our way. Plus we still have your cosmic currents forecast for the week ahead, a powerful moon. ritual to prep you for the upcoming lunar cycle and Tian Taro. So lean in a little closer, get cozy, and let's dive in. Okay, let's start with the main course, Sandra. Mm-hmm. We asked y'all to send us your deepest, strangest, maybe most curious spiritual questions. And y'all did not disappoint. Sandra, I'm gonna have you pull the first question. okay. I had a long day. Mm-hmm. So this one is juicy. It's from Sarah in Austin. do tell Sandra. She asked. I love all things cosmic, but my partner is a total skeptic and thinks astrology is just a giant cosmic coincidence. How do you handle relationships with people who aren't on the same spiritual wavelength? Do opposites attract or is this like a soul contract deal breaker? Okay, Sarah. Well your starting goes off pretty strong here. Well, you know. I think it all comes down to respect, Sarah, rather than total alignment. Because a sole contract doesn't actually mean that your partner has to be your spiritual twin. for one thing, you know, that become very boring, I would think anyway. sometimes their job is to keep you grounded, you know, or keep you on your toes. While you explore the stratosphere. Hmm. What do you think, Sandra? I mean, yeah, I I agree. I think it's about the energy of the connection. If they respect you and your magic, let them keep their skepticism. It keeps the dynamic interesting. But, you know, if they do belittle your path, well soul contracts sometimes come with an expiry date, and it's likely time you check if this one has reached it. Okay, so let's go on to our next question, which comes from Marcus in San Diego. And Marcus is saying, be honest. Do you guys ever get spiritual burnout? Like you just don't want to look at a t another tarot deck or you get tired of checking the planetary transits? Don't you just wanna be a basic human being for a day for a week? Well, Marcus. Thank you for the permission to be real. Because yeah, of course, 100%. Spiritual fatigue is real. And sometimes the energy it's just so heavy that I have to completely unplug my psychic antenna. Absolutely, Sandra. You know, there are weeks when my ritual is literally just maybe watching some TV and eating takeout and just that sounds good. Just chilly. You know? Not do anything spiritual, not connect, not answer any questions. Turn off the phone. Turning off the phone is a big part of that. Major part. You know, this is this, let's be truthful. I mean, this is like spiritual maintenance. It's grounding. Yeah. Marcus, we can't live in the ether twenty four seven. We'll float away. Yeah. So don't feel guilty about taking a little spiritual recess. No, absolutely not. You need that time for yourself. Yeah. okay, let's do another question before we share some stories. Okay. this one is from Elena in Miami. I keep seeing the same repeating numbers everywhere, specifically nine one one and four four four, but only when I'm stressed about my career. Am I missing a warning sign? asks Elena. Okay, Elena, do not panic. I know that nine one one o often freaks people out. Because you know, we associate it with, you know, emergencies. But an angelic code, it's actually a really wonderful green light. Yeah. It signifies a spiritual awakening. It's like a call to action. It's, you know, the closing of an old chapter. And paired with 444, that's the ultimate. You know, your guides are wrapping you in a blanket of protection. They're saying it's okay. It's cool. The universe isn't warning you of disaster. It's saying we see you stressing. We we got you covered. Make your change. Make your pivot. Don't be afraid. So okay, so speaking of signs and cosmic nudges, over here. Liam in Chicago actually asks a really great follow-up question. Uh-huh. Have either of you ever had a spiritual experience that genuinely terrified you at first or completely changed how you view reality? Now, Diana, I know you have a few, but what's one just a few? What's one that still gives you goosebumps? Wow, okay. Well. How about the time how about the time I realize the spirit world has a very literal sense of humor? Mm. Okay. I'm gonna tell you a while ago back. Okay, I was doing a cleansing on on a house for a client. And I was walking through the rooms. I was being very, you know, like in the spirit, very serious, very in the noun. And very dramatic, you know, and I was chanting about banishing all the negative energies, you know, I was like, you know, I was banishing all I wanted them gone. And I was demanding that anything that's not aligned with the highest light should leave immediately. Right. What was the name of the psychic in poltergeist? Bettina? It might have been. I'm picturing that. I was even more than Patina. I was like, I was commanding these spirits to leave, girl. Well, anyway, I kid you not that the second the words left my mouth, there was a it was like there was a sudden gust of air that blew right through the hallway and the front door swung wide open all on its own. I froze, turned around, looked at the door, and I realized, I mean my heart just kind of just dropped down to my stomach. And I thought, okay, either I summoned a poltergeist or a demon, or the universe just took my exit coordinates, just way too literally. This ended up being a big breakthrough for me because I learned to trust that the universe can hear me. And it definitely taught me to be specific in my wording. So, people, when dealing with the spiritual world, a quick lesson. Be very specific because do not think for one minute that the spirits do not have a sense of humor and that they are not going to. like scare the bejeebas out of you because they will. They get great joy in doing so. Yeah the universe literally said ask and you shall receive. Exit plan. It really did. What about you, Sandra? What's an experience that shifted everything for you? well mine mine was much quieter, but it it did rewire my brain. a while back I was just feeling really lonely and disconnected from everything around me and I really needed some comfort. So I went for a walk in the woods, sat by a tree, And in my head, I just reached out. I just thought if anyone or anything is out there watching over me, I need a sign right now, not tomorrow, now. So basically you gave the universe a cosmic ultimate. Right, right. Yeah, I did. and the second I opened my eyes, I felt this incredible warmth wrap around my shoulders. It felt like those heavy you know the heated blankets. Yeah. But here's cozy. Yes, yes, but here's the thing. It was fifty degrees on a really nice October afternoon. And I opened my eyes and it felt so solid that I was expecting to see someone standing there. But there was nobody. I was alone. It was just you thought you were alone, Sandra. It was just me and the wind. And then a single blue jay feather just drifted down, landed right in my lap. I realize now that the ego always wants a booming voice from the clouds. But divine energy usually shows up as a whisper or or a feeling or just the right timing, the perfect time. Yes, it's those moments that remind us we're truly never walking this path alone, Sandra. Moving from our personal currents into the grander celestial skies, it's time for cosmic currents. As this episode airs today on July thirteenth, we are sitting in the energy of a waning crescent moon. The sky is getting darker, the energy is drawing inward, and we are approaching a new moon in just a few days. Yeah. Or the yeah, the night of the thirteenth, but it won't actually come to full fruition. For two or three days. I guess technically you should say like sunrise on the thirteenth, I guess. I guess, yeah. I don't know. Or sunrise on the fourteenth, I guess. Either way, this specific lunar phase is all about clean sweep. It's the ultimate celestial permission slip to let go of what is heavy, what is cluttered, and what is no longer serving your highest good before we plant some new seeds. And the cosmos is giving us an extra dose of inward reflection right now, Sandra, because Mercury is currently in retrograde in sensitive cancer, which is exactly why emotional clearing feels so potent this week. You know, old habits, past hurts, lingering worries. You know, they're just floating to the surface and they they wanna be released. You need to reevaluate and release them. And on Of that, we have a tense Venus, Uranus Square hitting today on the 13th, which can stir up some sudden friction or unexpected tension in our relationships. Now that makes it the absolute perfect day to deliberately cut ties with with chaotic energy before the new moon arrives on the 14th to reset the sleep. Yes. Because We're focusing on that and releasing that energy for this cosmic Monday. We want to lead you through a small but potent ritual to align this energy. Mm-hmm. So for materials you'll just need a p a small piece of string or yarn. It doesn't matter, the color doesn't matter. And you will need a pair of scissors. We'll give you a moment to go grab those. We'll wait for ya. Once you have them, take your string and tie the two ends together to form a loop. This loop represents the cycle of the old energy or habits you've been trapped in. Now find yourself a comfortable seat, relax your shoulders, close your eyes for a moment. And get grounded first. So let's ground your energy by taking some deep breaths. Why don't you take them with us? Inhale deeply. And exhale. Inhale. And let it go. One more deep inhale and release. Now your energy is grounded. You're very calm and relaxed. Open your eyes and hold that loop of string between your hands, pulling it taut slightly. Bring into your awareness whatever has been draining you lately, whether it's an old habit, a stressful situation, or a lingering worry. Acknowledge that this cycle is no longer serving your highest good, and it is time to break it. Take a deep breath in, feeling your own inner strength expand. Now safely take your scissors, place them in the center of the loop. We're going to make a clean, swift cut to break the cycle. Let's do it together. Inhale deep. And as you exhale, cut right through the loop. Watch the string open up and fall away, completely breaking that tie. You can set the pieces of string down now. You will dispose of them later in whatever way feels right to you, whether if it's throwing them in the trash or throwing them outside, away from your home, it will be entirely up to you. Do what feels right to you. So we're gonna close our eyes once more and we're gonna visualize a warm, protective gold or white light, whatever feels right, surrounding you, making you completely whole. Contained in your own energy field. Hear these words and let them settle into your space. I break the cycles that no longer serve my growth. I call all my power back to me, fully cleansed and restored. My energy is my own, and so it is. Take one more. Deep, clear breath, and open your eyes whenever you're ready. Once again, you can throw the pieces of string away however feels right to you after the show. Just know that you are clear, you are protected, and you're ready for the blank slate of the upcoming new moon. And now the perfect way for us to wind down, pour yourself a cup, because it's time for tea and tarot. Well, Diana, what am I ingesting today? Well, Sandra, today we are enjoying a blend of Mugworth Mugworth chamomile. Ladies and gentlemen and esteemed guests, Mugwarth. continue, I'm sorry. What am I going to do with you, Sandra? I don't know. You figured it out for the last several years. It is incredible for enhancing psychic intuition and vivid traits. It's very fitting for a waning moon and chamomile keeps our nervous systems grounded and relaxed. Okay. Hence why I combined the two. Okay. So while we sip, let's pull a card for our community for the week ahead. Yes. You wanna do the honors? yes, I would love to. Mm. Well. Let's see. Let's set the intention for everyone listening right now. Let's see what the universe wants us to know. Well, Xandra, imagine that we pulled the Six of Swords. Well, the universe is really hammering home the theme of today's episode. So the six of swords, that's all about moving on and transitioning. You know, in the classic writer wait, you're gonna see a ferryman ferrying a mother and child across the oceans, transitioning. It's the card of realizing that while leaving behind a certain path and habit or situation might feel like heavy or sad, you're actively moving away from rough waters and steering towards calmer, more peaceful shores. Yes, it's a journey of recovery and letting go. With the waning moon right now, this card is whispering to you. It's saying it's safe to pack up what you need and leave behind all that. excess mental baggage that no longer serves your future. And that looks like all the time we've got for today. So thank you so much to everyone who sent in your questions. The energy today was absolutely unmatched. And we definitely have I I think we're gonna do this again in the future, right? Yes. Yeah.
