If you want to feel younger while growing older, this is the place for you.
Welcome everybody to the Vitally You podcast. The first episode of 2022, this is Dana and I am your host. And I am so delighted to have my guest today. Sandy Ray. Sandy is an Alchemist of astrology and clay. She creates intricately detailed talismans during astrological, transits, and guides through the wisdom of astrology to help you align to your life path, current intentions and purpose.
And I have to say, I've been working with Sandy and learning about myself through the lens of astrology, and it's been so insightful and. Really, I have to say encouraging deeply to my soul to understand myself in terms of when I entered the world at the exact space on the globe, what was happening, astrologically and how the changes in the universe impact me personally.
It's a very personal process. So Sandy.
[00:01:55] Sandy Rueve: Thank you Dana. So happy to be here. Thank you for having me. I love chatting with you and we'll go onto your platform. Thank you for introducing me. You know, astrology is the format. I mean, I think it's the number one first line in care of the soul. You know, I like that you mentioned the soul because it is what is our core center that is formalized when we take our first breath.
You know, when we separate from mom and we all then have our own set of energies that we'll be working with throughout our lives. And to know, this gives us this map of, you know, challenging times, uh, wonderful, happy times we have them all. No one comes into this world having just a wonderful, you know, climbing up the hill and never coming back down.
Uh, never in fact, you know, if we think about this and this, again, everything I say is, from my opinion is the fact that. We chose to be here. You know, I truly 100% we chose to be here and we took a very strenuous journey to get here. And so the journey doesn't end upon. Right. The journey never ends even at that.
Right. And so the fact is what can we do here on this planet earth, in the area that we chose to be here in the family relationship that we chose our mother and our father, whether it's a tight family or a non committed family and the body that. Given right. Again, we, I believe we chose this, you know, we chose, we get to choose.
Now we do, I do believe that, you know, habits and behaviors come with, uh, the growth periods of our younger years. But, you know, do we have the strength in our constitution? Let's say right to change something. I know what you teach and what you stand behind is changing some behaviors. To have a vitally you, I mean, so using astrology and I've loved working with you the past two years is, you know, checking in every quarter.
So four times a year and spending an hour discussing what's going on in your life. Things that you can look forward to things that, you know, hiccups challenges that you may have, that you can then say. I am up for the challenge or, you know, I'll be on the lookout of, or I am aware currently, I really know that's coming in, but sometimes to know a deadline, right?
Like to have a Pluto transit or one of the outer planet transits like a Neptune or Uranus that's going on in the sky right now, when you know, this is coming in or it's here, or the year will come, or the year that it did come, it will give you that aha validation. And which then creates motivation Sandy.
[00:04:58] Dana Frost: But one of the things I learned from you from my natal chart and what's happening in the transits is this connection I have to. I never knew this. You know, I had, uh, several astrological readings a few years before I met you with this wonderful woman in Wisconsin, but it really is a foreign language.
I'm continually learning, but what's really been dialed down, working with you, is this connection to Venus. And I always wondered why do I need things to be pretty I'm so driven for. Ambiance and beauty and, you know, I really care about how I dress and how I look. And I learned that it's just intrinsic in my chart.
And I didn't know, there are so many insights we get when we accept the invitation to do a natal chart and learn about who we are at. Welcome to the earth moment.
[00:05:57] Sandy Rueve: It's an adventure. And the one that I believe everyone should take up. So lutely and in it's exploratory in, why do I feel things? Why do I do that?
Why do I, why do I burst out in a response? Well, you may have Mars, conjunct, mercury, and your neighbor. You know, you know, if we talk about you about the Venus, I'll just say things that you've mentioned that, you know, being in a, a venous time lady, And while she's retrograde currently, as we speak. And as currently, as we get, uh, go live here, you know, the first couple of days of January she's retrograde and anyone having this time lady or a time Lord, it just happens to be the girl, the feminine.
So it's time lady for your annual performance. You know a note, those, I follow those because then she is the manager. She is the ruler. She is the major participant in your life this year. And so when she's retrograding in the sky as all planets do, except the sun and the moon, of course the illuminaries we have to take note because she's going backwards.
She's retreading places in areas in the sky, in everyone's chart. That she's already been over and she will cross those three times. It's really nice to know what house it's going through. If it's hitting any of your personal planets or your sensitive points, because you're going to have a chance to look at this over a 40 day plus shadow period time period.
And so, you know, I am doing my 108 miles in the morning and 108 molars prayers in the evening for. Because I'm doing it interesting that Venus is a 40 day 40 night retrograde. And typically when you do mantras, you do them for 40 days, you know, the 108 at night in the 108 in the morning. So yeah, Venus is a very prominent, particularly in your life this year.
So yeah, art harmony, making sure things look good, feel good are in connection. You know, Venus rules. And if we know that copper is a, the number one, even in homes and households, right, is the connectivity. It's the metal of Venus. See, I'm
[00:08:11] Dana Frost: always learning things from you, Sandy. I didn't know that Venus rules copper you've probably told me, but there's so much information that is shared in a session.
You know, I just try to take it in and we get the recordings. It's a foreign language and we're always learning. And I want you to talk a little bit about what does it mean to go retrograde because some listeners may not know, and we're always seeing on social media, mercury retrograde, you know, and that freaks people out.
So can you speak into, and just let us know, what does that
[00:08:43] Sandy Rueve: actually mean? A retrograde period means when a planet appears. Right from our earth living space appears to go backwards to, to retrograde, to go in reverse. And most everyone knows about the mercury retrograde that you just referenced, which why, because mercury is the closest planet to us that it retrogrades three times.
Per year. Now this year 2022, he will read two grade three and a half times. We'll catch him at the very end of December of 2022. So it's three and a half times. And when the planet, whatever that planet signifies a mercury signifies communication, it's about a short travel it's about messaging.
Technological, computer telephone, uh, letter writing, anything, you know, we see the FTD flowers being with the mercury sign on it with the winged sandals, the winged helmet, because he's the delivery man. He's making short little deliveries and carrying the messages back and forth. And so when it's retrograde, he's kind of taken a break.
You know, he's kind of on the human and things. Aren't as quick to get from point a to point B or you'll think you sent a text message to somebody saying you're not, you're not available tonight and that person never got it. So there's just a confusion, a inconsistent line that is drawn between, you know, a and B it gets confused.
And so this often create a chaotic. Period between discussions or contracts, you know, you hear don't buy a car, don't buy anything, you know, refrigerators or computers or phones during this time, because we've all heard of buying a lemon. Right? Most probably I tracked my father buying this car that you bought it during mercury retrograde and just kept going into the service center.
So it's just those things. If you know, there were three retrogrades happening, there certainly are things you have. But one of the things, you know, I just got several requests for when is a good time to publish a book. You know, when is a good time to get my editor and certainly not during mercury retrograde.
And we're coming up in a mercury retrograde here, uh, within the first, well, three weeks of January. So we'll have the mercury retrograde and the Venus retro. Simultaneously during her last week of renter gration so it just means you have to kind of maybe slow down because that planet has slowed down to move backwards and then stations direct and moves forward and moves over the same territory.
Cause you could imagine, and I think I've used this in your reading. A really, really good way to picture this. Any retrograde is if you are carrying multiple things out to the car to delivery or to the grocery store or wherever on a trip, and you're making your trip from say the car to the front door and you have to make multiple trips.
You have the ability to take the things from the trunk of the car, up the front, walk to the door. You pause there. You gotta turn around, go backwards, retrograde, go over that same path, that same walkway back to the car. Pick the last up of your packages. And now you're moving direct toward your purpose.
Right back into the house in the house. You go, and there you are. So that little movement of going backwards, maybe you forgot something. Literally it's called R E you know, you just remembered something. You have to re you recalled, you reviewed you, react, you arrest you re. Right. Any of the art words for any of the planets that are going, but it depends like Venus, Venus's the relationship planet.
She is the love planet. She is the beauty. She is the charm, the personification of the rose let's say, right. And she retrograde, you know, you're gonna look at friendships. You're gonna look at relationships. You're gonna look at, you know, hard facts. You know, is this person for me? Is this, oh, that's why this has fallen apart.
Or this is what we need to repair another R E word. And oftentimes, you know, anytime a retrograde, we have to go internal. We have to go inside. We're not too extra. In our dealings or our communication or our love responses. So yeah, this Venus retrograde period holds a period where we have to go underground.
We have to go to the underworld and I really love the story of banana and a risk, a call, which I will be teaching more about that in my first talisman webinar of the year. Right in the middle of January, while Venus is making her whole life. Right. And this is a major point, uh, when she separates from the sun and comes up as a morning star, you know, right now you can see her beautiful in the night sky and here January 2nd, she has now we've been seeing her for the last couple of months.
She will now go to the underworld, meet with the sun purify there and come up as a morning star. And, um, in her live colorize on January 15th. So, and she should be clear. She should be clean. She should be pure. She should have burned off all of the rust or lint or pieces that aren't hers that were attached to her in the last 19 months.
So there's way more to that, but a planet retrograde to your point is when it's going internal and having to back up over areas that he's all he or she has already been over and they all, they all do.
[00:14:43] Dana Frost: Yeah. And we all do. And that, this is one of the things that I really appreciate about astrology. It's the story.
It's the story. We love stories. We need stories and. It's one of the stories in which we can understand ourselves in a
[00:15:00] Sandy Rueve: very intimate way. I'm a Pisces. And my mercury is in Pisces, which, you know, as an astrologer, a mercury and Pisces, there's brilliant people with mercury and Pisces, but it's the only planet.
The only planet that is in one sign that is both in detriment. And I have it. And yes, I remember struggling as a youngster or a, an elementary student because I was always in the Pisces land of. Yeah. What if like, whoa, I'm back in school, you know, I couldn't keep my focus. Right. That was part of my problem, but really good on the, what ifs.
Right. That creative spirit that, that Piscean and course, you know, the storyline of myths. Is it true? Can we make it true? Can we attach it to something in our lives that we can. Like you just said, connect the pieces. And that's why I like this Sumerian mythology that I'll be using, uh, the Anana and Irish could call, but I really like Greek mythology as where, where my basis is.
So yeah, lots going on a lot has been going on 20, 20, 20, 21. We've got 20, 22 here. We're at the beginning and I'm hoping. You know, I have Jupiter on my ascendant. So I do know that I'm always hopeful. I am called the optimistic astrologer. I did not title myself that my daughter, who is my business partner, Alex has titled me that because she heard so many times that, you know, when I was doing a lot of wanderlust festivals, I was the astrologer with Wonderlust and the people coming into the booth or people signing up for my moon classes.
Like, I don't know, what is she going to tell me? But I'm going to die right? There is that fear base. I mean, we can all have fear that we all do, but to be told something that you will either not believe or believe and hold that as your. Right. So that's quite interesting for me, but I understand it. I understand it.
Alex had no, what she will tell you will be validating and motivate. And so Alex has come up with that little tagline and, you know, she's the optimistic astrologer ma'am or sir. And so that tagline stock, yeah, I
[00:17:19] Dana Frost: really liked that because I do think that the human out of surviving. You know, we do all have that instinct and it's actually in our brain and the amygdala that we're always trying to survive.
And, you know, all of us have had traumas of different kinds. And so that fear mechanism is very real, so I can see why, you know, why you're going to an astrologer or a psychic and you think, oh, you know, what am I going to, you know, we're looking for, what can we avoid instead of.
[00:17:53] Sandy Rueve: What's the invitation.
[00:17:56] Dana Frost: What's the invitation here. Learning more about what's happening. That is uniquely programmed into my moment of entering my soul moment of entering planet. As
[00:18:10] Sandy Rueve: a human with this body and you have one body, you have one mind at this moment at this moment at this journey, period, you brought up. I want to talk a little bit about the astrology of it and the psychic, the two there's two pieces there.
You know, we use astrology. Astrology has a map. You know, you, what we do now is put it into a software program, but you know, not back in the day. And you would put your date your month, your day, your year, your time, should, you know, it often it's on a birth certificate often it's on some little plaque or something that, or in a Bible of the mother or grandpa.
To find the time and the location, city and state. And by inputting that into the software, we get a round circle chart. I use both Placidus and whole sign houses. I use the astrology of modern astrology and traditional astrology. I've been blending it over the last five years. I've been studying astrology for about 19 years now, maybe.
Um, and, uh, practicing probably for 11 now, 11 years. So the fact that we can blend all of these ancient techniques with the current ways that the current teachers or the researchers of astrology are doing now, and I want to address the psychic. Versus now they don't you, unless some psychics use astrology or some astrologers are psychic, right?
So there could be a blend, but they're two separate. Now I feel because of Pisces that being a Pisces and actually being born on March 19th, the very last day of the year or the very last day of Pisces, which Pisces is the last constellation astrologically. We start the first day of the astrology calendar the first day.
Which is about March 20th could be March 21st, depending on that year. But that fact is very intuitive. So as an astrologer, I feel like I'm very intuitive. I get into my divination. That's my tool. The divination tool is looking at a chart and just melting into it, understanding the education of it. The sun rules.
Leo is exalted in Aries is isn't it it's fallen in Aquarius. You know, you have to know the bits and parts, the tools, and then you can expand from there. And I do get hits during readings and I'll say, I don't know why I'm getting a sense of a white page. And, you know, somebody said, oh, I just sat down with a new, a new journal.
You know, and something like that, which is another one of the tools, non, you know, whether that's me or there's other astrologers that have that as well. Well, what I've
[00:20:57] Dana Frost: been learning from you is it's a sophisticated system.
[00:21:01] Sandy Rueve: It's a cosmic language. We say that it's, uh, you know, it's a foreign language. It certainly is.
It's even off of the planet, you know, it's in the ethers of cosmology. One of the things I think I almost had that thought that. Mullen around where I am. Well, and this is kind of where my very first astrology reading that I was not, I was a skeptic and it's so funny because a lot of astrologers, very, very smart professional well-known astrologers start a skeptic.
Uh, no, no. I mean, I knew I was a Pisces, I guess I liked reading that, you know, the horoscopes in the papers or in the magazines, although those are sun signs, that's a little different than doing a full on astrology reading because that's only a sun sign versus we know that we have the moon, we have the rising sign.
We have mercury, we have Venus, we of Mars. We have Jupiter, we have Saturn you're honest Neptune and Pluto. Plus we have new. Plus we have Kyron plus we have mid-heaven oh, we have part of fortune. There's a lot of, and how they interact in the sky. These are the aspects and this is their, their communication, how the planets discuss and can see and witness each other in the sky from your birthday.
You know your birth moment and then those planets keep moving. They don't stop because of you. We got a picture. That's where we get the, the constant movement in our daily lives of watching a period of, you know, a two year period where we're having a Pluto transit. That can be very difficult, but I promise you.
You will love yourself on the other side of this, more than what you went into it, but it's, it's, uh, a stripping of identity, particularly if it hits your son, you need to know that I had that. Thank God. I knew that because I knew the tools of what to do. My astrologer gave me the. The plan. So the fact that my first astrology reading my daughter bought it for me for a gift and it took me four months to go, meaning, eh, no, she's that mom's going to run out.
Like you, you paid for it already. Like I thought it was an idea. It was a gift card, like, oh, here's an idea. Alex must have been young at that time. She was literally about 14 or 15 years old and thought that, and that's really why she's my business partner. She is forging. What we agreed to do in a past life.
I don't know if you knew that Dean. Wow. I didn't know that. That's why she is my business partner and she's like, okay, mom, you're going to do readings now. I'm like, no, I'm not ready to do readings. She goes, yeah, you are. You've got, you've got four readings next week. Like, oh, she's mom, I got your stuff.
You're going to do zoom. This is years ago before, and we're doing this, this and this. Well, I already knew that I was making talismans talismans for me. If we can flip to that, maybe now. Yes, I would love to. So a talisman is a personal art object sometimes made in clay that is made at a certain time. Paul astrology timing for a definite reason, the reason of intention.
And the reason that the two planets or three planets or position of the planets can give and provide an offer by a spiritual creator. So if I get back to that, I can say talisman is a personal art. Made it a certain time for a definite reason by a spear to creator. Now, as I make my clay Miller Fiori art that I have been doing for 30 years in my previous business called she beads, he beads and charity beads started by.
The request of Michael Jordan, if we want to get mentioned that quick, uh, when I was part of the medical team for the bulls, I was in radiology and I have linked astrology to, to radiology about the unseen energies, creating something and looking inside the box. Can you say that
[00:24:55] Dana Frost: again? I feel like that needs to be
[00:24:57] Sandy Rueve: repeated.
So radiology, right? X-ray is the study of the proton neutron banging together and putting a radiation onto the body that then report. You know, on film or on well film or digital now an image of what's inside the body and what's blocked, what's stuck. What's broken, what's hindered what the disease is, what the limitations are, what's going on inside the body.
Okay. So move, I did that for 29 years and moving into astrology was, oh my gosh, this is very similar. Meaning that. By using this unseen energy that we can look inside the astrology horoscope of a human being and see what's going on, where their hiccups are, what is blocking them? What are their limitations?
Where are their goodness? Right? What is so beautiful inside them that they could put up on their value system, a little higher. And so for you, the Venus, you know, like, yes, I'm sorry. I really liked nice things that smell. And you ask when you bring me flowers once a week. Love, love, love that. You know, that's a token of appreciation and that makes me feel good and makes me look good and I need to smell good.
And I need to, I need to present myself. I need to touch and smell and taste to have that Venusian quality because I so resonate with her. So the astrology and. Radiology are linked in that form. So I feel like my whole life, and this is the, this is the one thing I want to mention is we are on our path.
As soon as we arrive, we may exit or think we exit for a moment, but we come back on, should be attuned to this inner soul attuned. And to get this information is outstanding to help us. It's a tool. It is one of the cool tools in our belt. I love
[00:27:00] Dana Frost: that. Sandy. I want to ask you if you could say a few.
Comments about 20, 22 for our
[00:27:11] Sandy Rueve: listeners. Yes, I did just do my two hour Facebook live event a couple of weeks ago, which is still available. I was going to say people can access that still it's two hours where my cohort of financial struggles. Susan Goodell. And I get together every December. Well, we get together every month and doing one hour, but we get together December and talk about the full year ahead.
And, you know, we begin January with the Venus retrograde. We also begin the year with Jupiter and Pisces. Now Jupiter and Pisces. If we remember gave us a little four for telling when Jupiter went into Pisces for a period of time in April, in may, in June of 2021, that gave us the sense of growth and expansion.
If we remember on the day that Jupiter went into Pisces, there's the day that we got the mask mandate removed. It was all over the news. We didn't have to wear masks anymore. We could go into socialization, we can party. And so that was a really nice feeling. Well then as soon as it Jupiter went retrograde and back into Aquarius that former sign, that same day masks.
And that's where we have been since. So at the end of December, December 29th, Jupiter moved into Pisces and moves very quickly through the entire period till early, I'm going to say late spring, late spring. So I really believe that this whole piece train that I called my retreat coming up currently, as we're speaking now is going to give us a sense of hope and optimism.
Now it still holds. Trepidation for 20 20, 22, but it's not 2021. And it's not 22. That was that sudden realization. I think we're getting tired of it. So we're like, come on, let's go. Let's move past this. When we still have what the biggest thing going on in 2021 that we just concluded is that Saturn Iran, us square that, you know, Saturn wants things to stay as they are, you know, status quo.
In your honest is the planet of awakening and revolutionary. Uh, protests. You know, what about the minority people in stat in Saturn's going? Yeah, well, you know, our forefathers who wrote the constitution. We're sticking to those plans, which we are now, the world is such a mixed bag, right? We can't stay on those same rules and regulations.
We need new policies and procedures. And so the minority people have been rightly so stepping up going well, what about. What about us? And that gets a little easier in 2022, we don't get the same square exact, but we get to very close in October in November, and then they start separating permanently. So that might be the.
Bump in the road when we get talked Tobar but also Jupiter will be returning back to Pisces for a couple of months during that time, too. Some of the other things I'm watching is the Jupiter making that connection to Neptune in Pisces. This is the two rulers traditional. Jupiter, the current modern ruler, Neptune ruling Pisces.
They're both going to come together and that's about in April period. I think I'm going to have another talisman webinars during that period as well. And this is either, you know, when we talk about these two planets, this is either about really strong imagination and healing. Well, Healing meditative healing properties, or it could be the lower polarity of the Pisces.
And the rulers being there and that lower polarity is a deception and illusionary prophecies, you know, that are not true, but we believe in it. So there will be this varying, you know, those that want to go lower polarity. We'll go. And those that will want to go climb high and believe in something higher than where we have been.
We'll go high and believe in the possibilities. But basically we are having some eclipses that nodes are moving back into the Taurus Scorpio area. So those areas of people's charts will get. Um, and always eclipses are, you know, the ending of something, but yet the beginning and promise of something new.
So yes, those can be different for other people. It can be fine for you and difficult for somebody very close to us in our family or in our lives. Because it's hitting something in their natal chart, avoided your natal chart this time. Yeah. I love
[00:31:58] Dana Frost: that. One of the things that's coming up for me is the acceptance that we are all different and we have this variety of perspectives, experiences, and let's lean into being gentle and open and accepting of one another because each one of us are being hit in before.
Areas for reasons that as you said, are energies that are unseen and there's just not uniformity. And I think that that's part of what is happening is seeing the differences, accepting the differences. And can we lean in to that? And just
[00:32:40] Sandy Rueve: accept it. Well, certainly because of the 2020, COVID where we all were told at the same time to, you know, stay in place and no one could have their individual consensus or.
Seen as you know, well, I'm going to fly here and I'm going to take two weeks off and go there. No, you are staying home and our values, and this is why this Venus right now and retrograde, we're taking a hard, hard look at who we've been in this last 19. Yeah, right. Venus went retrograde the last time in Gemini, June of 2020.
So certainly that was a time when we got to look around and sometimes we don't like what we're seeing or who we're connecting with because they're not on the same values with it. You know, where our self-worth has been diminished because we're where we are being subjected to. Other people's views when they're not ours at all.
Right. And so this 20, 22, it's now, as we all start coming out into, you know, coming out of our, whatever, we consider that our front doors or our holes in some, in some cases, I know I have really been quite sequestered and quite quarantined on purpose, um, sensitive, and I've enjoyed it. I've found. I found a grounding that I wouldn't have found if I had continued traveling and being only home 50 days a year, but this is why 2022 is like really understanding, having that hope and positivity, but seeing everybody as themselves, they all have different views.
The final thing that I'm watching, and I'm sure there's a bunch of things in here. Well, I have to tell you. Very very active in actionary date of the year for me as election day on November eight. That's my conflict day of the year. Of course, on election day. Now I know this is the midterms, but that sets up the next two years plan.
Right? The other thing I'm watching is Mars goes retrograde at the end of the year and stays in Gemini for about seven months. That's a long time. So what does that mean? What are the things that we should be. What's the perspective. Well, Gemini is the sign of duality, right? The twins. And so it means, you know, we could have, and sometimes I liken it to the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other shoulder where we're getting two sides of an opinion or thought, should I shut night?
That kind of thing. And with Mars there, Mars is the planet that wants to move forward. Plow ahead. You know, he's the athlete. He is a soldier. Let's remember that he is the entrepreneur. He is the, he is the runner that just sometimes just needs to go. Right? Just it's the masculine entity of I'm willing to fight and I'm ready.
And here I go, I'm out the door before anybody says, go. So here we get. Mars in Gemini, uh, where he's bouncing, right? You, which way do I go? The accomplices spinning and maybe not someone to purposeful with their arrows, you know, indecisive
[00:36:10] Dana Frost: comes to mind
[00:36:11] Sandy Rueve: indecisive. And so that could be, you know, an action taken that.
Then a retrieval of sorts or not a retrieval where it's just, you're just throwing too many negative. You know, Mars is a Melissa Mick Mars and Saturn are the two malefics and the traditional astrology. So I'm just concerned about these action steps, not going in a well-thought planned out scoped detail outlined for a purpose.
Right. Like for, uh, for a common purpose, because he's going retrograde during this half, half the time I'll be going forward, then retrograde and then forward again. And you know, just the planet, Mars on a regular movement, he will go through a sign in six weeks. So to be stuck, Geminis, air mutable, air, lots of conversations, lots of words.
Lots of action. And then changing model. Right. Indecisive, as you mentioned for seven months. So it really important now, as at the beginning of the year, set your sights on your values. If we can all get our values identified, find the connection. That you have currently and strengthen those, you know, these alliances, right?
Like gathered together group tribe together. The ones that aren't on your same value system may need to be excised from your core center, your core group, or from your. In total, right? Because we can't be in this fluctuation. Now, Venus does want everybody inclusive. Right? Venus is a very inclusive, charming planet.
And then Jupiter being that growth, expansive place. These are the two bun effects and they're both doing something very important in the sky that we, if we would know what's going on, we can hook onto that string and believe in ourselves and stick to. That, because by the end of the year, we're going to need to have that ground.
We're going to need to have that solid support.
[00:38:24] Dana Frost: You gave us a lot of really good pearls, Sandy, thank you so much. And I want to encourage everyone to check out Sandy's website, intention, beads, and look for the talisman. The beautiful works of art. I have my own collection. There's so much. Let's let's just talk
[00:38:44] Sandy Rueve: about how people can find.
So you're right. Intention, beads.com is the website. The Instagram is also the same and we do have something on face book, you know, because what I do with Instagram, I made it my daughter, a promise three years ago that I would hop on Instagram. She showed me how to do it every day. When there's a transit going on in the sky and I give you the transit.
So you can learn a little bit about astrology. I tell you the time it's occurring and then a little bit what that means and how you could interact with the energy or be aware of it. And I missed one day in three years. How funny is this? The day that I would have said today is a forgetful day. I love it.
Listeners. I want you
[00:39:31] Dana Frost: to hear this. We
[00:39:32] Sandy Rueve: can't escape. This the
[00:39:35] Dana Frost: way that the universe is inaction and we are in the middle of.
[00:39:42] Sandy Rueve: It's the
[00:39:42] Dana Frost: story. And we can have insights from the story by looking into first a natal chart, you could do a natal chart with Sandy. You could begin following Sandy on Instagram to learn more about what, what is this language?
What is the astrological language? She does the monthly events.
[00:40:02] Sandy Rueve: I do the
[00:40:02] Dana Frost: monitoring, the monthly
[00:40:03] Sandy Rueve: teaching. I do the, I do webinars about once a month for an hour. If there's something going on in the sky, then I'll teach. I also do a monthly. Cheat sheet. And we just began that offer of getting a discount by buying all in bulk.
You know, you buy it for the year as $108. You get to save $12, I think. But every month, then, uh, two weeks before the next month, there's six or seven pages of dates, aspects. And a little comment about what the day should mean for you and then note taking. So then there's talismans that are all on from the orbit necklaces that are $30 to my big work that are the bracelets that you have a collection of.
And these talismans are made at a certain time for a definite reason. Like the one that I. Every day, I have a general one that I wear every day and this is all goes well. And then my mantra is I expect today to be exactly what it should be in order for me to have a, a brilliant knowing by the end of the day I went okay.
That's beautiful. And this is repeated in the morning, uh, with my gratitude. And there are so many, I mean, there's some in my stock for pregnancy, for growing good crops, believe it or not, which is a big thing. These days is to have a very successful crop production and things from traveling to identifying your art or getting known in the world.
And you use this energy, it holds its. It was birthed at that time. Right. Was Bert. Yeah.
[00:41:44] Dana Frost: And I would encourage everyone to go to the intention beads Instagram page, because you can see a demonstration of how these talisman are made and the intercourse. Of the process. It's a beautiful sight to behold to see Sandy's hand actually manipulating and creating the clay and burning it.
It gives me such an appreciation for what I'm wearing. And is there anything else you want to highlight in
[00:42:10] Sandy Rueve: terms of your work and what you're offering? The big thing that I'm offering that I'm really excited about. You know, we do retreats and I started back my retreat. I'm currently in Mexico right now.
And I take a group to Bali every year that has been put on hold, but I'm anticipating that. So it's a, about a 13 day retreat. Love my retreats. I heard that that should be my full-time job because, uh, my daughter and I do such great planning and surprises. We're both Pisces. The other thing that I'm planning is January 15.
I'm hosting a talisman webinar, meaning I make you a, this happens to be a pair of earrings with a rose pattern on it because Venus rose five pointed star Venus. And as she's making her whole life rise as the morning star, when we know who we are and how we come out of the rays of the sun and we are pure.
And so that check into that, because that will be a two hour webinar that in advance, about three or four days in advance, you'll get a, an email with a load of information that will be specifically for you about Venus. And then I'll set up, you, you will come on to the call and do it. Uh, an affirmation that you want.
So I'll be rolling the beat, the two beads of the earring at that time, and then we send it to you. So that's way different than anything. Anybody else does that in the moment of a beautiful aspect, I've set it up at a certain time to get that energy. You're on the call with a bunch of other people too, and I'm willing to be for you.
And it's, it's affirming. And by saying it out loud. And of course you get the recording saying it out loud, you get to hear it. And other people hear it too. And they, and it's, uh, this community of support where I choose to do this.
[00:44:09] Dana Frost: I'm glad you shared that because what I want to highlight for our listeners is the idea of intention and purpose all over social media.
We see lots of. Quips about, you know, mercury retrograde and all this stuff
[00:44:25] Sandy Rueve: to be
[00:44:26] Dana Frost: learning from Sandy. You're learning from somebody who has a deep well of understanding is very well grounded and rooted, and there's a depth. So if we want to live by intention and we say, we want to live by intention, this is a real opportunity where the person you're
[00:44:45] Sandy Rueve: in partner with is living, breathing.
[00:44:49] Dana Frost: Existing in it. And the work is, comes from a place of intention. You're invited into intention. And so it's really, it's just a beautiful opportunity. So Sandy, I want to thank you for being with us today and sharing the deep well of insight and knowledge that you have. Through the language of astrology and I invite the listeners to follow you on your channels and to engage with what you're doing.
I think that it's made a big difference in my life and I, I really appreciate the way that I feel more expanded having your insights in my
[00:45:26] Sandy Rueve: life. Dana, are you psychic? I am
