In this month’s Money Lighthouse episode, we explore the powerful energy of the November full moon, occurring in the nakshatra Krittika within Aries. This lunar mansion is linked to the fierce energy of The Pleiades, also known as the six Weeping Sisters. Krittika carries the symbol of a blade or flame, symbolizing transformation, purification, and release. Just as a gardener prunes a plant to allow fresh growth, this full moon invites us to cut away what no longer serves us, making space for new beginnings. This celestial event encourages us to release what feels stagnant, nurturing new areas of growth and potential in our lives.

Guided by the deity Agni, the god of fire, Krittika emphasizes the sacred role of fire in both physical and spiritual realms. Fire holds deep significance for purification, transformation, and connection to the divine, seen across cultures from Vedic tradition to Christianity’s Pascal flame. This period may bring heightened emotions or fiery exchanges, as the Sun, Krittika’s ruling planet, amplifies our desires and passions. Reflecting on this energy, we’re encouraged to channel this fire constructively—to burn away our fears or doubts, and to fuel our dreams, growth, and self-expression.

Alongside this celestial wisdom, our spirit guidance message, drawn from Angela Hartfield’s Whispers of Aloha, reminds us to be mindful of our impact. With the card “Care for the Ocean,” we’re reminded of our interconnection with all things. Just as water supports life, so does fire, and both elements work in harmony to nurture growth and sustain life. This full moon season, embrace the balance of fire and water—let go of what’s no longer needed, cleanse any lingering tension, and consciously move through the world with an awareness of the energy you bring and the impact you leave behind. 🌕✨

Today, we're diving into some personal reflections and lessons on money. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring three recurring money themes in my life. These themes have shown up as if to say, “Remember us?” and they’ve certainly made their presence felt! If you also have money lessons that seem to repeat or reappear, you’re not alone. It’s all part of the journey, and I’m going to share my reflections with you in this episode.

First, I’ve realized that money is my ultimate teacher. Just when I think I’ve learned my lessons, they reappear in new ways, like layers to peel back. Money keeps challenging me, helping me uncover deeper beliefs, and sometimes old doubts resurface as a gentle reminder to keep learning. Recently, I’ve felt called to approach these moments with patience and self-compassion—an approach rooted in what I’ve been learning from trauma-informed teachings. If you’ve been experiencing similar moments, know that it’s okay to give yourself grace and embrace the lesson rather than resist it.

One theme that keeps surprising me is the balance between the practical and energetic aspects of money. While I tend to focus on the energetic side, I’ve been nudged to review my practical money habits too. From letting go of unused subscriptions to being mindful of my spending, I’m working on aligning both sides of my financial life. These realizations bring a sense of peace, as I strive to simplify my approach and honor my own unique way of working on these lessons. Money, in its mysterious way, always offers us a mirror—and I’m grateful for each insight it brings. Thank you for joining me in this journey, and I’d love to hear about your own money lessons and discoveries!

In this episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, we explore the new moon in Swati, which graces the skies on November 1st in the sign of Libra. This celestial event brings the opportunity for balanced new beginnings, with the Sun and Moon harmoniously aligning to expand wisdom and creativity. Swati, known as the "self-going star," invites us to embrace flexibility, represented by its symbol of a single blade of grass blowing in the wind. This nakshatra encourages independence, self-determination, and adapting to change. It's a perfect time to reflect on how we can align ourselves with these energies.

We also delve into the deeper symbolism of Swati, which connects to the wind deity and Saraswati, the goddess of learning. The theme of breath and life, as illustrated in the Bible story of Adam, ties into the importance of our first breath, marking the start of our journey on Earth. Swati's symbolism of a blade and coral reminds us to cut through unnecessary distractions and focus on our growth. This lunar phase, paired with powerful numerological influences of the number 1, nudges us toward leadership and new beginnings, urging us to take bold steps forward.

In this episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, we dive into the wisdom of Catherine Ponder’s book Open Your Mind to Receive. Catherine Ponder, a celebrated author in the field of New Thought, has written nearly 20 books on prosperity and success. Her work has inspired many, and today we focus on this short but powerful book that offers profound insights into the art of receiving abundance. Ponder’s well-known bestseller The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity is often the most recognized, but Open Your Mind to Receive is a hidden gem, packed with valuable lessons.

As we explore this book, we uncover the key principles that help us open ourselves to receiving. From understanding the source of our supply to the importance of giving and releasing, Ponder guides readers through a transformative process. The book introduces seven “gifts” that pave the way to receiving: the gift of release, prophecy, nothing but the best, people consciousness, growth and expansion, prosperous increase, and the gift of agreement. Each principle is beautifully explained and easy to apply to everyday life, making this a practical and spiritually enriching read.

One of the most striking takeaways is the emphasis on release as a vital step to receiving. Ponder reminds us that by letting go of tightness, tension, and old patterns, we create space for new and expanded good to flow into our lives. She also encourages readers to shift their mindset, embracing the belief that we live in a universe of lavish abundance, where there is always more than enough. This episode offers an inspiring look at how to shift from a mindset of limitation to one of possibility and openness, leaving us feeling empowered to receive the many blessings life has to offer.

In this month’s full moon episode, we dive deep into the potent energy of the upcoming lunar season on October 17th, which takes place in the powerful nakshatra of Ashwini in Aries. Known for its healing and adventurous spirit, Ashwini is considered the first lunar mansion in the Vedic zodiac. The Ashwini twins, who are said to bring divine healing through their golden chariot, symbolize this nakshatra's strong connection to life force energy and new beginnings. With the moon in Ashwini and the sun in Chitra, this full moon holds the perfect balance of healing, adventure, and leadership.

Ashwini’s influence is all about taking action and embracing new journeys. Whether it’s healing old wounds, starting fresh endeavors, or setting out on new adventures, the energy of this full moon offers us a chance to move forward. The nakshatra’s animal symbol, the horse, represents vitality, drive, and playfulness—making this the perfect time to tap into both your strength and creativity. If you missed an opportunity to begin something new during the last new moon, fear not! This full moon gives procrastinators a second shot at starting anew with full momentum.

In addition to Ashwini’s vibrant energy, we explore the astrological aspects of this full moon. Mercury joins the sun in Libra, emphasizing balance, beauty, and learning, while Mars creates some tension between the north and south nodes, inviting us to reflect on who we’re becoming versus who we’ve been. We also highlight the significance of Jupiter’s retrograde influence, urging us to pay attention to financial matters and abundance. With all these cosmic elements at play, the message is clear: this full moon is a time for personal revelations, healing, and courageous new beginnings!

Today, we’re diving into a classic money book that has stood the test of time: *The Richest Man in Babylon* by George S. Clason. Written nearly 100 years ago, this book started as a series of pamphlets shared by financial institutions to help people understand wealth-building in an approachable way. Through timeless parables, this book shares practical financial advice wrapped in storytelling, making it an enjoyable and impactful read for generations.

In this episode, we explored the key lessons, known as the “Seven Cures for a Lean Purse.” These principles are simple yet profound, starting with “paying yourself first” by saving 10% of your earnings and moving through lessons about controlling spending, making wise investments, and securing a future income. Each cure offers valuable guidance on how to manage, grow, and protect your wealth. One of the biggest takeaways is the importance of patience and consistency—wealth doesn’t grow overnight, but through steady and intentional effort.

As we reflect on *The Richest Man in Babylon*, it’s clear that while some aspects of the book may feel dated, the financial wisdom it offers remains relevant. We live in a time with far more opportunities and resources for wealth creation, yet the foundational principles of saving, budgeting, and investing are still key.
