I know this video is 3 months old by now...! But we are only 4.5 months into this 2-year Fire cycle and the signatures are undeniable. Increased seismic and volcanic activity around the globe. Heat waves & fires (natural and arson). Sudden unexpected losses of young people that have left communities in shock. Conflicts and tensions not only geopolitical, political but also personal, are flaring up faster than we can process.

Here where I am in Northern Japan, we've had a 7.7 Earthquake off the coast in April, followed by a 6.2 closer to the island we're on, along with the most recent 6.9 on June 24, separate quakes in Venezuela and Northern California on the same day. We also reviewed our disaster/Earthquake preparation list, extra cat food and have things at the ready.

Additionally, if you have felt more arguments and friction erupting in your own relationships, more urgency and volatility in the collective field, that is not your imagination. 🔥 That is the 赤馬紅羊劫 (Chì Mǎ Hóng Yáng Jié) in motion, which is a conclusion derived by statistics/numerology known as 命理學 (Mìnglǐ Xué) or Destiny Arts Studies, but also Five Elements Theory, and Prophetic Apocryphal studies, within Daoist Cosmology/Metaphysics. We still have 20 months to go. In my opinion, understanding the energy does not make you powerless to the "powers at be" or superstitious, it makes you prepared. 🔥🌿

Perhaps a good time to check out or review the tips (timestamped at 29:25) for 2026-2027 and also look into your own elemental interactions to best swim through leisurely and fruitfully, while avoiding the potential obstacles during your swim or journey! 💦🏊‍♀️🌊🚿🛁🫧 Cold plunges, intentional baths, and gardening and being connected to the Earth, have been helpful for me :) Take great care! 💖✨

Part 3A of Study BaZi with me will be out on 4:00pm EST, 1:00pm PST, 9:00pm BST :)

When I was drafting this video, I was aiming for a 25 min video, but somehow when I finished filming it was 55+ min and I was like 😨 I tried to make it easy to follow along, and it also includes review from Part 2 (mostly) as it's hard to remember and repetition helps with the memory...! I guess this is why readings are usually an hour long.

👇 Drop your Day Master element in the comments, or alternatively, share your dominant element or most interesting insight if you've been following along and attempting to read your own chart!

Excited to hear what you think :)

I hope you are having a great start to your week! Bringing you my next video: 🌜Into the Night, Toward the Light: Spirtual Emergencies & Dark Nights of the Soul 🌌 - it will be available Monday June 15 @ 5:00pm EST or 2:00pm PST :)

🌜What if a breakdown is the first part of a break through? There are mystical experiences that don't fit neatly into our daily lives. Visions that arrive uninvited. A dissolving of everything you thought was real.

The dark night of the soul. Spiritual emergency. Initiatory crisis. Demonic trials. Shamanic Illness. Psychic Awakening.

In this video we explore what Carl Jung discovered about this and his experience navigating his own.

We also look at alternative frameworks for what Western medicine calls psychosis, if it involves transpersonal conent (ie: Past life memories, Out-of-body experiences, Kundalini awakening, Synchronicities & extrasensory perception
States of mystical union) and moves you towards wholeness. I also share 5 grounding tips (from experience) of what you can do at home if you are going through said journey. As always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts! :)

It's been a little while since my last video! Thank you for your patience :)

I'm very excited to bring you Guan Yin Part 5 :) Guan Yin & Friends, to introduce you to two important venerated deities that could be said to follow Guan Yin's teachings and help their believers compassionately: 天上聖母 or colloquially referred as 媽祖, and濟公活佛, colloquially referred to as 濟公師父 or 濟公 and experience the Underwater Temple / Lemurian Energy.

I was trying to use a gimbal but :( I think as I don't really know how to use it well, adjusting it with the remote makes for fast movements and dizzy footage! AHHH Please forgive me! haha

It will be available Saturday 06/06 at 7:00pm EST or 4:00pm PST :) Looking forward to hearing what you think!

The next video I'm editing is Lana Del Rey's Blue Jeans for Art & Sound Garden followed by Guan Yin Part 5, which I'm excited about.

But it's not coming this week, possibly, hopefully, by the end of next week. Thank you for your patience & understanding as I navigate my new pace as a graduate school student. 🙏🤍❤️‍🔥

That being said, I am also inspired to make more Guided Meditations and Activations that would best suit your needs and best support you on your journey. Please select the ones that interest you, or write a request in the comments below, or you can email me or message me on Discord!

Thank you & hope everyone is having a great weekend, whether it's the spring showers, spring flowers, or the first peek of the heat of summer, I hope you get some R&R and some time in nature! As I'm reading and researching away, I hear the birds singing outside haha, it's that time of year :) 🐦‍🔥🕊️🐥🪶

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers around the world. 🌹🪷🌸🌷🌼

I made it at the 11th hour for the week...! I hope you are looking forward to this one! Arcturian Starseeds video will premiere Sunday at 3:00pm EST/12:00pm PST or 4:00am JST! Still adjusting to my first quarter as a graduate student 📚

During my 3-4 days working on this video, my Premiere Pro did not crash even once. It usually crashes every few hours. And no, I didn't do anything differently this week!

During the editing process and catching up with my friend who asked me about upcoming workshops, I decided to do a re-run of my Free Intro to Gridworking Workshop in August (08/19) The Festival of the Stars, or 07/07 in the Lunisolar Calendar. I haven't decided if I'll be giving YouTube streaming a try (if I can figure it out by then), or it'll be a private (free) Zoom workshop again! :) Will keep you posted on it as we get closer.

As usual, let me know what you think 🫶 Have a wonderful day, morning, evening, wherever you are in the world, on beautiful Mother Gaia 🌏

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and a fabulous start to your week! No new video this week - was polishing my upcoming workshop (registration is closed but I'll run it again in the future :):))

I am also polishing off my next batch of videos, which will be:

- Arcturian Starseeds
- Guan Yin Part 5
- Lana Del Rey "Blue Jeans" music video in Art & Sound Garden

I hope you will look forward to them :)

Sharing photos from my walks last week in Maruyama Park and Nakajima Park in Sapporo, catching the very tail end of Sakura season. I saw people doing Hanami on the national holiday, just enjoying the sakura petals as they are being blown by the gusts. It's been raining the last few days and my cats, who enjoy going outside, are having cabin fever! My neighbor's sakura petals from 4 houses down, have been blown into my garden, so it feels kind of nice and poetic in the rain, as I remain indoors nice and cozy and working away in my office!

I didn't think I would get this one out until May, but somehow with time management and perhaps a touch of magic ✨🪄

Part 2 of "Study BaZi With me" series will be live Fri 4/24 at 12:00am PST or 3:00pm EST, 8am in BST (London Time)

Part 1 of Study BaZi WITH Me gave us the general structure, the Four Pillars, the Five Elements, where it sits in the broader Daoist metaphysics system.

Part 2 gets into the parts of what people 👀 want to know when they study Destiny Arts👀

☯️ The Ten Gods: kind of like archetypes in your chart that govern love, money, creativity, and power
☯️ Luck Pillars: the 10-year chapters of your life and what energy each one brings (10 year weather report!)
☯️ Symbolic Stars: Areas of Life people want to know like romance, talent, travel, success, etc
☯️ Hidden Stems: the layers underneath your chart that influences
☯️ What is Death & Emptiness or the Void in your chart


Whether you're drawn to BaZi for love, career, family, numberology, or self-knowledge / self-exploration, Part 2 is where the destiny arts start to look applicable in your life.
