We explore a week shaped by the theme encompass—stability through supportive circles—while moving from Scorpio’s introspection into Sagittarius expansion and truth. The High Priestess anchors the guidance: trust intuition, receive the next step, then act with coherence.

• keyword encompass and the felt sense of supportive circles
• inventory of what surrounds time, thought and energy
• Sagittarius season as expansion, optimism and truth seeking
• integrating Scorpio’s depth work into coherent action
• taking up space in home, relationships and work

• practical journaling prompts and small stabilizing shifts

If you’ve felt the shift from deep introspection to ready momentum, this conversation offers language, tools, and encouragement to move with it. Expect grounded spiritual guidance that blends the Akashic theme of encompass with Sagittarius truth seeking, plus an intuitive framework for making small changes that stabilize your world.

Aloha and welcome to Your Heart Magic, an illuminating space where psychology, spirituality, and heart wisdom meet. Here's your host, Dr. Bethane Kapansky Wright, author, psychologist, and spiritual educator.

SPEAKER_01:

Aloha, everybody. Welcome to Your Heart Magic. This is Dr. Bethane Kapansky Wright, and we are talking about the energy for the week ahead and looking at what is the energy right now, and how do we take the concepts that we are given through the Akashic Records, through some of the astrological transits. We have a tarot card that we're going to be pulling. And how do we integrate that in a way that supports us in living intuitively, staying in our hearts, and feeling more supported on the path? I am so intrigued by the energy this week. The Akashic Records gave us the word encompass as the main keyword for the week. And the way that that came through when I opened the records is I was immediately kind of inundated with all these different images of circles. And I had the circular feeling as if I was being wrapped around by something, uh, something that felt nourishing and supportive. It didn't feel constrictive or scary, but it felt like this wrapping around, being encircled, being surrounded by something. And I was seeing these simultaneous images of an infinity symbol, seeing a ring of mountains around somebody, seeing images of circles and rings and all sorts of imagery that was related to that. And the message was really clear that the energy this week might feel like a circle, a wrapping around, being encompassed, feeling supported, feeling surrounded. And once again, the emphasis was on this feeling positive, not so much surrounded and closed in on. This didn't feel like a constrictive week. It felt like a supportive week. And when I asked the records for a little bit more information on what that meant, part of the message that came through was that we have been so actively and diligently working on preparation, planning, on introspection, on going through this evaluation of what holds value and what holds meaning for us. And how do we want to preserve that in our life? How do we want to prepare things in our life to really cherish and value those things? And this week feels like a continuation of that energy and like we'll be feeling and seeing a stabilization of support. As if we did all this prep work and we've done this inventory, we've perhaps made some changes and done some release work around some things, started some other things that might be new beginnings, new potential for us. And it feels like this week there's a stabilizing energy. And we are encouraged to look at what we are surrounded by? What kinds of things on a daily basis surround you in your life? Who are the people that you are surrounded by? What activities? What things take up your time? What things take up your thought life? How do you move your energy and move yourself and move your thoughts on a day-to-day basis? What surrounds you? And so that's the journaling prompt for the week is to really play with the idea of being surrounded and think about what are you surrounding yourself by at this time? And looking at how does that feel for you? Does it feel stabilizing? Does it feel nourishing? Does it feel supportive? And if for some reason it doesn't, how might you make some shifts in your life to continue to align to feeling that you have a life that wraps around you in a way that feels nourishing and substantial and supportive? We are moving into Sagittarius season. We are actually in Sagittarius season. We've moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius. And Sagittarius is an astrological sign in the zodiac. It's associated with fire energy. It is related to expansion, optimism, adventure, curiosity, truth seeking. Sagittarius is the archer. And truth is like an arrow. It is always seeking higher truth. It is seeking its target, it's seeking to free itself, to expand in love, to help us expand in love. We do that as we recognize our truth inside of us and take that out in the world and live it in a way that we feel more authentic and feel more aligned. So that feels like beautiful astrological energy that complements the message of the Akashic. And I have the sense that we are invited to take up space, whatever it is that supports us in our life, whatever it is that holds us, that contains us in our home spaces, our relationship spaces, in our mental spaces, and the spaces that we might work, that we might exercise, play, interact in some way, I feel this encouragement of taking up space, taking up space within that circle and not being afraid to take your space within whatever it is that supports and nourishes you. So the energy feels empowering, it feels embolding, and it feels stable to me. And since we are at the beginning of Sagittarius season, what I often find when we go into a new sign on the zodiac is that there is this integration where we've just moved from one season that had these characteristics with it. So Scorpio was about transformation, introspection, really going inward, really digging into our truth and unearthing hidden truths that might be hard to recognize and bringing them to the light. There is an intensity and a heaviness that's often associated with Scorpio season. I also think that the slowing down of energy that we have been feeling also goes along with this idea of digging and unearthing hidden truths and really getting to the core of something. That's not work that we do quickly. That's work that takes a little bit of time. It takes trust and it takes patience with the process. And I feel like we have gone from introspection to this integration that was happening around the new moon and has been happening probably at the beginning of this week, and that we are moving into more appreciation and activity, appreciation for the work that we've done, appreciation for how far we've come, and feeling empowered to step into our lives in more expansive ways and apply some of what we've been learning. So this feels like a good week for action. And I get a sense that that is going to build as we move into December, and that it's something that is going to probably reach a crescendo, I'm guessing around the full moon. But for now, if you can work with the idea of feeling encompassed, appreciating what supports you have in your life, seeing what's surrounding you, looking at what is coming full circle in your life, what cycles might be ending, and something new is beginning. And remembering that there's a continuation. We don't just end one thing and start something brand new. There is a carryover of that energy. So whatever stories we are telling with our lives, whatever stories we are writing with the path and with our own journey, there's a continuation of that narrative. So where in life right now might be things coming full circle and might you be moving into the beginning of a new chapter that builds on whatever happened in the previous chapter. So really feeling encouraged to play with those ideas this week. And then I love our card of the week. It's the High Priestess. And I have been pulling from the good tarot deck by Call Up Baron Reed. The High Priestess was not the card I was expecting. Just so you know, what I do with my tarot practice when I'm pulling cards for myself, I do this when I'm reading for others, and I definitely do it for the podcast. I tend to be an over-shuffler. I will shuffle them so much. And if it doesn't feel ready, I might do some more shuffling. And I divide them in three hands, and I always ask Spirit to move the card that's meant to be picked. So usually what will happen when I divide it into three piles is one of the cards on the top will slide down. And that's how I pick the card of the week. So it's intuitively guided. And I'm also asking for a little bit of extra clarity, which we can definitely do when we're working with our intuition, just to have a little bit more confirmation that that card feels like the one that wants to be picked. And I drew the high priestess this week. And again, this was not the card that I was expecting. I think I expected something with more fire energy or more activity or something that felt more like a three in the deck, something that's a build, a support, or a completion. But we have the high priestess, and that's card two in the tarot deck. And two is usually a card of receptivity. It is a card of bringing something into ourselves that's more yen energy. It's a little bit more of that passive energy and conscious allowance, conscious magnetism, allowing ourselves to receive the next step for the journey, as opposed to efforting and forcing the next step. And the high priestess is all about embracing the mysteries. She is the alchemy that knows that when we are living life, that not everything is linear, not everything is meant to be understood in a logical way. It is meant to be understood experientially and intuitively. And there are some things that might not add up on paper. We might have a hard time explaining to somebody some of the more spiritual experiences in our life, or how about intuitive experiences? Try and explain to somebody a really magical intuitive moment that you had. And I've often found that if they're kind of on the same vibe with you spiritually, they might get really excited and really feel what you're telling them. But oftentimes I feel like those moments fall flat because we cannot put into linear language this richness of nuance and experience. And what it is to be wrapped around by spirit, what it is to be wrapped around and to belong to the universe and to have that sense of belonging and feeling surrounded by energy in our life. That's a really hard one to put into words, to put into any kind of logical language. We understand it in the heart. We understand it through the mystic mind. We understand it through the resonance inside of us. We understand it through the mysteries. And that is the exhortation of the high priestess. She encourages us to trust our intuition, to trust the path as it keeps unfolding in front of us, to trust whatever it is that you're sensing right now, or whatever it is that you have been feeling. If you have been going through transformation and you have a sense that something is being birthed out of that time, or something is going to be coming full circle in your life, or you're moving into a new cycle, the high priestess encourages you to trust that and to know you don't have to put it into language in order to know that it's true for you. You just have to stay on the path. You have to stay with self-trust and keep following where you're led. So I will close today with the affirmation from this step. Again, this is from The Good Tarot by Collette Baron Reed. And this is the High Priestess Mystery. Some things are not meant to be known intellectually, but are meant to be experienced through intuition. This card reminds me to trust that I have access to higher wisdom and knowing. When I tune in and trust my vibes, this is the time when mysteries will be revealed and I can grow as a result. Reading that today makes me think of the message that came through for the last quarter of the year from the Akashic Records. And it was about seeing what's around the bend and things opening up in our life where we see with clarity. And the line in this card, this is the time when mysteries will be revealed, and I can grow as a result, makes me very curious about what is to come in December and what kinds of things might come together for each of us and how that might come into more clarity and vision for our path. So stay tuned for that. In the meantime, have an amazing week. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate. And as always, be well, be love, be you. And be magic.
