Aloha, everybody. This is Dr. Bethane Kapansky Wright, and welcome to your Heart Magic. We have an update from the Akashic Records today on the energy as we move into the new moon and the holiday season. It was interesting. As I was opening the records today, I had a sense that the energy that I was tapping into, even though I had asked specifically for the energy of right now in December 2025, where we're at, but I felt like this energy was the beginning of what I think is probably going to be a theme as we move into the year 2026. And I usually do a quarterly Akashic update through my newsletter, Akashic Magic. And I've yet to do that for this month. And it's supposed to come out this weekend. So I'll be doing that later this week. So this podcast is fresh in the sense that I don't have a sense of what the next quarter holds for us. I haven't opened the records yet. When I do my Akashic Magic newsletters, they um are done quarterly. So I do them solstice to equinox to solstice to equinox and look at that chunk of time. And as I said, I've yet to open the records on that, but I almost felt like I was moving into that energy with this reading. Our theme for the week is building peace. And as I was opening the records, I actually saw the words, what brings you peace? with a question mark that were kind of floating up in my mind's eye. And it was a question that I felt the records were asking all of us to reflect on and consider at this time. And as I was feeling into that image, I also saw a bridge that was almost as if you took a long vertical ladder and used it in a parallel sense to connect two things, like the monkey bars or something where you put one end of the ladder on one side of something and the other side on another side, and there's this gap in between. And we use that ladder to construct a bridge, or at least to construct an infrastructure to begin a sturdier bridge, moving from one area to the other. And that is how the energy feels right now, that we are moving from one way of being into the next. It feels like this time is a time of consideration and contemplation, and that we are asked to look at this idea of what brings us peace. And our answers to that is what helps us construct this ladder that moves us from one way of being into the next. It feels like a time where we are closing the gap between who we've been and who we want to be. And often when we are in a transitional time, we go through a nebula for a while. When we're transitioning, we don't get from point A to point B quickly or overnight, or sometimes even in a few months' time. Oftentimes, when we're going through personal transformation and metamorphosis, it takes a while. And we become slowly, sometimes sudden change will happen. And then it takes us a while to process it and integrate it and feel like we've shed the old proverbial cocoon. And we think, oh, I think I've grown into my wings. It's not an instantaneous thing. And so that gap right now feels like where we are encouraged to acknowledge where we've been, who we've been, and also start to turn our attention to where do I want to go? And the focal point for answering that question right now is very simple. What brings you peace? And the wisdom from the Akashic Records from this week was to think about where do you already have peace in your life right now? What is in harmony? And so acknowledging what is working for you. What systems or areas in your life, whether that might be home, relationships, emotions, creativity, physical health, work life. There's so many different aspects of life, spiritual life. So looking at some of those individual categories and asking, where am I already experiencing a sense of peace? And it's okay if it's not perfect. Maybe you have a little bit of peace and you'd like to grow that. So you can just make a note of that in your journal. But trying to acknowledge what is working, what is helping you create a sense of harmony in your life right now. And then asking the question: where do you still desire peace? Where do you feel like you have a lack of peace in your life? What feels stressful? What might feel chaotic? What might feel undone? What might feel like it needs a revamp or a relook in order to create a new pathway where you have more inner peace? And just a reminder that when you're doing this inventory, this isn't just your outer world. It's also your inner world. If you find that you have a lack of peace about something and your mind is spinning or there's a lot of anxiety, it's always helpful to ask, what is that about for me? And to look at the peace. Is there any way that I could work with this? Is there a mindset shift I could make? Is there something that I could reframe this or have a different perspective that might feel more peaceful? So this isn't exclusive to the stuff that makes up our life, but also the stuff that makes up our inner world. And again, looking at how we think about things, what our relationship is with ourselves and how we engage with the world and the components that make up our life. The Akashic records say that simpler is better right now. So you don't want to overcomplicate this question. I know I tossed out several categories that you could work on, but you might not need all of that. Right now, simplicity is the key and trying to think about the most scaled-down version of what brings me peace. You do not have to construct this bridge overnight. Again, I feel like this is very much energy that we're working with as we begin to wrap up 2025 and move into the year 2026. And I suspect that that will be going on for quite a while. So right now, you can think about just to keep it simple, this is the contemplation phase. You are considering what brings you peace and you are exploring your answers to that question. And when in doubt, keep it simple. If you don't know the answer to something, then you don't have to overcomplicate things. Just think of one small thing today that might contribute to more peace in your life or one small change you could make that might make things more peaceful. Our tarot card of the week is the ace of earth. I love this card for this reading. When I pulled it, I asked for a complimentary energy or something to round out the message. And we were given the ace of earth, earth and the good tarot deck, which is the one I have been using for these readings, is also pentacles and traditional tarot. And ace is a beginning. Ace is the seed that's being planted. And so I love this message because it feels like it really does complement what the Akasha gave us, that when we think about what brings us peace, we are starting to put together that first rung on the ladder that's eventually going to become a bridge that helps us close the gap from where we've been and move into a new place and phase. And so Ace feels like a card of beginnings. I love the timing of this with the new moon that is happening on the 19th, and that new moon energy that helps us close out the year 2025. New moons always help us find new intentions, new beginnings, a sense of having a clean slate, a sense of forgiving whatever's happened in the last cycle, what we've done, what we haven't done, and having that clearness and that clarity to start over and begin again and plant our intentions. And earth is very much of the material realm. It is that first footstep. Oftentimes, pentacles, earth also means prosperity and abundance. So this could be talking about something tangible, relating to something that is connected to whatever represents prosperity to you, whatever resources you have, whatever you are working with right now at this point in time to create stability and security. I also realize that Ace of Earth is a perfect card as we start to move into Capricorn season. And that doesn't start until the 22nd. So we have a little bit of time, but right now we've got the new moon on the 19th, solstice on the 21st, Capricorn season on the 22nd. It is the holy day season and all these various holidays and holy days that for so many people help us open our heart and be more connected to some of our higher ideals and our faith and beliefs and whatever it is that might speak to our heart spiritually. And so I just see all of us taking a step. And it feels like we take this step on the earth and we are inviting in more peace and more prosperity and whatever represents abundance to us. So what a lovely message to bring in the solstice time and the beginning of this holiday holy day season. And I'd love to share the affirmation from the Guterro book just to bring some completion to this message. So the key words for Ace of Earth are prosperity and its purest form, concrete results in the physical world, abundance made manifest. And the affirmation is I recognize the many forms of abundance and plenty, and I align myself with success. I can generate gold from the resources I have at my fingertips. I make an impact. The essence of prosperity is taking form in the material world. And so it is. Thank you so much for joining me today for the podcast. I will be back next week with a new Your Heart Magic episode. Have a wonderful week. Happy solstice and new moon to everyone. And as always, be well, be love, be you, and be magic.
