The Unfolding of Omens: How the Universe Speaks

I was watching a tarot reading by one of my favorite readers tonight, and she pulled the eagle card. I recognized it as a powerful sign. I recently read Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. It is an amazing book full of universal wisdom that I highly recommend. One of its many gems of insight is about signs.

Signs can be correctly interpreted by those pursuing their Personal Legend because they are aligned with the Soul of the World and its underlying principles, allowing them to understand the language of the universe. This spiritual interconnectedness enables them to recognize omens as a form of guidance, confirming they are on their true path and receiving help from the universe to achieve their destiny.

The eagle holds great significance for me because the man I am in love with, my stern professor, my savage lion, my playful best friend, my disciplined personal trainer, my stoic psychologist… well, he identifies with the Arrano Beltza: a black eagle. There is a myth that eagles painfully break their beaks and pluck out their talons to renew themselves. It serves as a powerful metaphor for personal transformation, symbolizing the courage and sacrifice needed to let go of outdated habits, beliefs, and burdens to embrace new opportunities and achieve growth.

As if that weren't enough… this Sunday there is a total lunar eclipse coming up. I have also been repeatedly seeing the number 1111 again. That number is a cosmic sign I am quite familiar with, symbolizing new beginnings, spiritual awakening, and alignment with divine guidance. A "wake-up call" from the universe, confirming when I am on the right spiritual path, have a gateway of opportunity for growth, and should focus on manifesting my dreams and positive intentions.

Then this morning, on my drive into the city for work, while sitting in traffic… a beautiful black butterfly with yellow-tinged wings landed on the hood of my car and then flew off to the right. This symbolizes positive transformation and hope emerging from challenges, combining the darkness/mystery of black with the joy/clarity of yellow. The direction of flight to the right signifies moving forward into a brighter future. An overall message, for me, of a positive and empowered journey through transition.

An Unconditional Love: The Catalyst for My Journey

All of these synchronicities, signs, omens, and messages have me on fire, feeling alive with the pulsing of new beginnings… despite currently grieving and nursing another heartbreak.

This one I have cried over for weeks now from the very depths of my Soul. I was blessed in this lifetime to meet another soulmate, another counterpart. Unlike my first experience with romantic love, but still in a toxic dynamic, with the man I thought was my twin flame… the relationship I am currently processing and releasing was my first experience not only with intellectually, emotionally, and sexually stimulating deep connection, friendship, compatibility, and intimacy, but also life-giving, Soul-lightening, sky-clearing reciprocal and unconditional love.

He was another great teacher along my journey and represented a giant leap in my healing; he marked a turning point in my life. He reminded me of my worth and transformed me from mineral into gem, from lead into gold. He eased my worries, lightened my load, made me laugh, knew how to hold space for me, and inspired me to shine bright. He raised my standards and showed me that my wish list can be embodied by a man… that men like him exist, and I was able to confirm all that I want and need from a lifelong partner.

But, Jessi, if he was your ideal partner… why did it end? Because life is endless waves, with changing tides, and brings unexpected detours/treasures/challenges… all in divine timing and all for our greater good. I intuitively sensed he had lingering unprocessed emotions, pending lessons, and healing still left to do… and that meant I had to put on my big girl pants and have one of the most difficult conversations I've ever experienced.

It also proved to be the first time a difficult conversation in my life was productive, healthy, cathartic, and even catalytic. It led us both to confronting and accepting an undeniable truth. His path was pulling him back into his past, and mine was urging me forward towards an unknown, limitless, but exciting future. And though our paths have diverged in this moment in time, I still firmly and intuitively know our paths will cross again, be it in this life or the next.

Even our ending was remarkably mature, emotionally balanced, positive, and full of love. I was able to thank him for his role in awakening parts of me that I still needed to integrate. To express the full spectrum of my emotions—from heartbreak and grief to unwavering love and acceptance—with grace and honesty. And I released him back to the sea… having been transformed in love, by our dynamic, and thanks to his warmth, into a happier, healthier, better, and more complete version of myself.

In turn, I received from him gratitude for my role in his life. His final communication was tender, respectful, and courageous. He confirmed that our connection was a meaningful catalyst for him. And though he chose to forgo walking into the future by my side, deciding instead to walk into the fire of his shadows and hopefully into some overdue healing and awakening… the energy behind his words of parting proved a powerful testament to the depth of our bond.

I am forever grateful for the divine unfolding of my life, even if it led to another heartbreak from which I am still reeling. This heartbreak, however, has been easier to navigate because I am a more empowered, resilient, and faithful version of myself today. Precisely because of all of the experiences I've endured, overcome, and been blessed with… the good and the bad.

From Breakup to Breakthrough: Activating My Inner Archetypes

The relationship I am presently surrendering to the universe was a catalyst for me as well. It manifested my inner Emperor to rise and meet my Empress… the final piece of my inner world integration. Healing my Divine Masculine energy in relationship was what I needed to be able to complement the Divine Feminine my Spirit has brought to the forefront in my life.

The Emperor joins my Magician… my Major Arcana is complete… together with my Empress and my High Priestess… I feel ready to embrace my life's purpose, step into my spiritual calling, embody the totality of who I am, and actively manifest the life I dream of. Ready to build the structure that will hold my creative energy… to get to work on the conscious actions necessary to consecrate my work and call in the energy I need.

Sowing the Seeds of a New Beginning

I have spent the last days strategizing, designing, planning, securing digital real estate, and even translating intention into rhythm and melody. Transmuting energy from one form to another. Building an intentional bridge from the mystical to the practical. All that is left is the pilgrimage to Iximché, my sacred offering, and the blossoming of my new venture: a YouTube channel dedicated to Propagating the Infinite.

That is my mission, my calling, and where I know my future… my truth… my Personal Legend… lies in wait. If you have not read that blog post of mine (Propagating the Infinite) and want to know what I am talking about, I encourage you to go read it. And stay tuned because the next blog post will be my introduction to the latest chapter in the story of my life... the emergence of the newest version of Jessi.

Eclipses mark a time of shedding and rebirth, an ideal moment to begin a new creative cycle. September 7’s total lunar eclipse is a Blood Moon Eclipse. It occurs in Pisces and brings with it extraordinary transformation power. Pisces is the sign of compassion, creativity, sensitivity, and profound emotional and spiritual depth. We can expect emotional breakthroughs, spiritual transformation, and the release of karmic patterns.

… So let's shed another layer of skin… release all that is not currently aligned… heal, transform, and transmute… open our hearts to new beginnings… and surrender to the true Alchemy of our Souls. I hope you'll choose to venture with me into the unknown… into the limitless… by embracing our potential, raising our frequencies, and manifesting higher timelines together… with purpose, faith, courage, light, and always unconditional love!
