Spiritual Awakening 101 Guide
Hello everyone, welcome to our Spiritual Spotlight Series. Today I'm joined by Bethany Nicole. Bethany is a people-featured author, astrologer and relationship expert. She works with the energetics and astrology relationships to align individuals with their highest connections and expressions of self. Bethany, thank you so much for coming on Spiritual Spotlight Series. I'm so happy you're here.
Speaker 2:Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1:Bethany, you've described yourself as a philosopher at heart, constantly pondering life's big questions. How has this philosophical approach influenced your work in astrology and relationships?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I feel like it really introduced me to these concepts very early on, because that's actually what my degree is in is philosophy, and so I was learning about these things really just right out of the gate, right Like I went right into college and was taking higher level philosophy classes for juniors and seniors and I was teaching them how to do some of the work. So I felt like it was always just very natural and aligned and it really introduced me to some of these bigger concepts very quickly. So I've always just kind of been feeling like there are things that go on behind the scenes that we just aren't always privy to, and so it's been really a lifelong quest to figure out what those are. And that really led me to, you know, kind of energetics in general and seeing how astrology really guides that in our personal lives and development.
Speaker 2:And so it really just sort of and especially relationships right, we see it all the time in relationships where we're ending up dating the same people over and over and we're going how, how am I doing this? Like, how is this happening? And so, again, it really was just sort of that like why are we here? Why do we exist? What's going on behind the scenes. How does this work Like that's always just been the core, I think, of what I do.
Speaker 1:I love that. So in your journey through ancient wisdom, you've studied various disciplines such as Kabbalah and Tarot. Can you maybe share how these practices have enriched your understanding of human connections and self-awareness?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I mean, these are really just kind of the higher pieces of our evolution. I feel like, like Kabbalah is something that you know. It got kind of trendy so I think people kind of went away from it for a while. But if you really study it, I mean it really has been saying the basics of metaphysics and consciousness from the get-go right. It's, it's been there, it's done that, it gets it, it's been validated by a lot of you know different things and people and it really just talks about kind of the things that we don't always see but we really know and feel.
Speaker 2:And especially with astrology, they use a different calendar than you know what is kind of common.
Speaker 2:So I don't use their calendar specifically just because people are more interested in what they're used to, but it really kind of gets at these principles of you know.
Speaker 2:We come in with these qualities and these energetics and we're learning how to work with them and those are our lessons, and so that really ties into the basic of what I do. And then, you know, the same tarot actually ties in a lot with Kabbalah in a lot of ways, because it has a lot of like the Hebrew lettering and concepts and just all of the things. So it really is again just getting at these core principles of you know, what are we capable of? Why are we here? What do we do with that? You know, how do we learn to not just understand it but actually learn to control it, learn to manipulate it, learn to make it work for us instead of against us, because that's really how we kind of get into these superhuman almost you know ways of living in our world and making it work for us, and it's just kind of fun to be at that level of creation, I think for a lot of us.
Speaker 1:And I think, like what you just said, like you know, learning these things such as Kabbalah tarot astrology, it helps you to find deeper meaning within yourself. Kabbalah tarot astrology it helps you to find deeper meaning within yourself and helps you to really identify with. Okay, this makes sense. This is maybe why I act the way that I act, maybe why I react the way that I react. I find that fascinating. So you emphasize the importance of aligning individuals with their highest expressions of self through astrology. Can you maybe explain how astrological insights can lead to deeper interpersonal connections and personal growth?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. It really is just giving us a blueprint of this is what you need to work with, this is what you need to work on, this is how you kind of these are the obstacles, this is kind of the way you approach life and different things, and it just really gives you kind of the cheat codes for all of that and it can go really deep into how you bring in money, how you spend money, you know how you partner up, what you want out of partnerships. I mean, it really is just a chart of cheat codes. That's like how I describe it to people. It's like, if you want to see what's going on, look at your chart. You're given this blueprint, this roadmap of your life, and we don't always know how to access that information. But once we do, it really changes things. And I know that's kind of broad, but even on you know, let's say, just a very simplistic level, like if you are an Aries which I am right off the bat you know that you're going to have certain things you're going to work with.
Speaker 2:You know that you're going to be in leadership roles, you know that some of your lessons are going to be about how to lead, how to be in a relationship with someone else and still be an authority and independent. You know you're going to be very reactive and have a lot of tied to the emotion of anger. So, right off the bat, if you were unconscious of that then you could really take a lot of blame, especially these kind of more high octane signs like Aries, scorpio, gemini you know the ones that don're like these are amazing qualities. If you're putting them in some sort of like nine to five job or you know social situation, you're like whoa, that's a lot.
Speaker 1:So I like that and then like so, when you're like helping somebody you know, looking at their astrological chart, do you like? Look at, okay, this is your sign, this is your rising sign, this is your moon, this is where your houses are like, and you go really deep and I find that fascinating. Like I, um, I have a friend and she likens it to kind of like your school and each chart. I like that. But I'm going to ask you this. So I'm a Leo, but I don't necessarily resonate with being a Leo. Um, like with some of the traits, but I guess some of them I do. I'm not making much sense, but have you ever found someone that's like, doesn't they feel like they don't really resonate with their sign?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that can really depend on several factors, but it can also be the signs themselves are a bit of a spectrum.
Speaker 1:Gotcha.
Speaker 2:And so you can think of it as color, right? You can think of it as, like someone's more red, someone's almost pink, and especially when you're getting close to the changes in the astrological seasons, you might display more, you know, cancerian traits or whatever it is, or sometimes people just have you know if they had, for example, the same moon and rising sign, you're getting really a double dose of energetics. Or even, depending on what arena you're operating in, right, because if you're talking about you don't relate to it as much in the field of relationships, your Venus would have a lot to do with how you handle that, and then your moon sign would have a lot to do with how you handle that, and then your moon sign would have a lot to do with, like, how you show up in that. So it's really about the different. You know what kind of I guess people are. Like I relate to it in the area of.
Speaker 2:You know I'm a business owner and so I'm a leader at um and for you, having a podcast is very Leo trait You're like Rachel, do you really not?
Speaker 2:So you can have it kind of in that. But then maybe you operate a different level in relationships, so it just yeah, I think most people I think that's kind of why you know some people get a little thrown off with it. They're like, well, I don't relate to my sign, but then you can also look at. You know, there there can be fluctuations as far as calendar pieces or I mean there's all kinds of things. But even if you don't feel like you totally resonate, I think it's it's really effective in that there is that you do, you can pick up on and work with there. If you're like, oh, I don't really feel like I have that going on, or I don't feel like my, my thing, then it's like that's fine. Just it's not for you. Then you know like it's not your, it's not your path on this one and that's totally fine. Yeah, I mean, the whole goal of all of this is to help people push forward and help evolve and transform. So it's like you know, what does it matter? Like I'm here to support that journey.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:You know I'm the guide, you're the leader, so I'm just helping you along the way. So it's like what does it matter to me? If it doesn't resonate to you, we'll find the pieces that do you know, like the goal is, like we're all on the same, like trajectory, like I love that.
Speaker 1:She's like what does it matter? What does it matter? I? Don't care, it's also like it's it's not putting you in a box Like you're like, yeah, it may not resonate with you, but let's find the pieces that do you know. I love that. So your work features a strong component of soul evolution. What are some key lessons about soul growth that you've learned from your studies and how do they apply to everyday life?
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, so many I know it's like buckle up guys. Um, yeah, I think a big one um for me has been boundaries, like the boundary. Um. Learning how to be Aries is also the first time Zodiac, so it's very leadership oriented, I think. Learning how to really step into that and be in my authority without also running over other people or going the opposite way, where I feel like I have to shove that all down and let them lead.
Speaker 2:You know that's not my nature. I would say that's been a big one of learning how to hold the boundaries and and find that middle ground. That was just a huge development place and I think, you know, as far as evolution goes, like that would be a huge one. That a lot of us would experience is like okay, like how do I stay me and stay in my own sense of I and self but also interact with, like, all of these people around me and in different you know situations like how do I react with, you know, a parent? How do I react with a partner? How do I react with friends? Like you know, how do I continue to be self and continue to do what I'm supposed to be doing but also live in a society. So I think that's a big soul evolution, one that a lot of us work on. But you know, I think Aries, especially because it is such an independent sign, it really has to work a little bit harder usually to understand how to do that.
Speaker 1:I like that. I like the boundaries lesson. I think that is important for every single person. Yeah, and how do you, you know, set up your boundaries, how do you respect your boundaries? How do you know if somebody is crossing your boundaries, like it's, it's tough? Because I think that can be a very fine line with you know very nuanced.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Cause what you might think is a boundary, I might not. And then you know very nuanced, yeah Cause, what you might think is a boundary, I might not. And then you know, vice versa, like I don't do that, like yeah, yeah, oh, I think that that's, that's a big one, that's a really big one. So relationships form the core of your explorations, from our relationship with the money to the divine. What is a common thread you found in successful relationships across these varied aspects?
Speaker 2:I think it's really again just us transform and evolve, because it's a lot like you can do all this self-work but, you know, if you have like a smear of dirt on your face, you're not seeing it, and then you have a partner that comes in and sees it right away, and so I think that's really kind of the common thread is that it all revolves around that connection with ourselves, the connection with the divine connection with whatever it is that you believe it's all about, kind of how do I show up and continue to evolve into better, better versions of myself, which then improves how I show up into the world and improves my connections with others and allows me to do what I feel like I came here to do, or to create or to just be without the constraints of you know, wounds or triggers or, you know, all of these things that just hold us so back from creating these higher levels of being here.
Speaker 2:Right, because I just don't feel that our potential has really been reached. I think that we're capable of so much more than the levels that we're operating on, even in relationships, and that comes out in the new book is that we can do better, we can get higher, we can do more and we should be doing that. We're meant to do that, so I think that's again, the big part of it is just it all to me, I guess, comes back to how do I continue to go up, how do I continue to do better and show up better? And not that we're flawed or there's anything wrong with us. In fact it's the opposite, that we're just undoing the layers that are on top of our essence.
Speaker 1:So you just brought up something. You have a book that is coming out, and when this airs, the book will be out. So tell us the name of the book and what is the book all about?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the book is called the Secret Energetics of Relationships.
Speaker 1:I love that name. I love it, I don't know I get chills every time she says it, everyone Like it's going to be amazing, it's powerful.
Speaker 2:It is absolutely powerful. It is a writing process like I've never experienced, and it's really about just exactly kind of the title of what's going on behind the scenes. And then how do we control it, how do we manipulate it, Because it really is kind of like a game. We're creators. We're learning how to create our own realities. We do it all the time unconsciously. I'm hoping the book will help us figure out how to do it consciously. It also has a lot of like very practical ways as far as, like you know, how do you use the dating apps? How do you do this? How do you use that? Like how to actually use these energetics in ways that are not super abstract. That like that's a nice concept. But like, how do I translate this to the app? I'm like, this is how you do it. This is how you bring this in.
Speaker 1:You know what it reminds me of? It's like the soulmate secret, but you're bringing it to now. And how can you really amplify the energetics of yourself and calling in a relationship to you? I like that.
Speaker 2:And then there's, you know, sections about how, once you've called it in, how do you use it to take it to the higher level, um, utilizing higher levels of emotion than what we're used to Just diving into literally all of that. And then the ending section is also too, so it's really taking you through kind of the entirety of relationships right. It's about how to bring them in to do once they're there and then, if they do end, it's giving you a little bit of like how do you stay in alignment during that process on the exit?
Speaker 1:too. I like that, so really for it can be. This book is for everyone, regardless of your relationship status. If you're looking for a relationship, looking to amplify the current relationship that you're in, maybe you're exiting a relationship, and how do you release the energetics of it while staying in alignment? That's beautiful. I'm going to have to get that because I've been in a relationship for 18 years and you know, every now and again you're like, oh, how can I pump up the jam? I love that. Oh, my goodness, I'm so excited about it. And then, when this releases, will it be on Amazon? Like, where will people be able to buy it?
Speaker 2:Yes, it will be on Amazon.
Speaker 1:And one more time what's the name of the book?
Speaker 2:The Secret Energetics of Relationships.
Speaker 1:I don't know why. Every time you say that, I'm like I just I just feel the energy coming in. I I'm so excited for this book. So, as someone who has been featured in major publications such as People and Newsweek, how do you believe media exposure has impacted public perception of astrology and spiritual practices?
Speaker 2:I feel like it's really brought it so much more into the mainstream it really has. I mean it's it's very common. It's so common to the point now that, um, you're even seeing businesses use it. You're seeing people, um, hr departments getting astrologists to like see if people are a good fit. I mean it's like I do too. I think it's great, um, and it's really just becoming so much more mainstream and I think it's taking it out of, you know, the realm of where it exists, where it was like oh, that's kind of interesting or that's not totally accurate, or that's really woo or whatever, and it's like, no, we're using really strong approaches here. But again, I think it's kind of like you know, as astrologers or people utilizing that, we're like this is the secret, we're telling you. If you don't want to use it, whatever, like we'll be taking advantage of it over here and you'll when you're ready. But I think that it's really like bridged that gap in a lot of more people are.
Speaker 2:you know, like I've gotten a lot of clients that are, you know, just sort of out of the realm of what you would think Like. I have a lot of like older male attorney clients or like just things that like who you wouldn't think would be as interested in astrology and tarot, and then suddenly they're like yeah, like there's something here.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean even like, let's say, an attorney like how, like maybe they pick their cases or how do they represent their client, or you know. There's so many different layers that you could really tap into and help amplify an attorney's practice.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's, that's amazing, like I like that and I like the idea of HR departments utilizing, you know, like you know, so I I also I run a doctor's office and maybe you know, with the patients and with the staff that we have, we have almost 30 staff members. We should maybe look at their charts because sometimes we can have conflict, you know, and maybe there's a way that we can look at that.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. It can definitely resolve a lot of those issues. It can also show you where people are really going to shine you know what I mean, like, if you have kind of these stronger personalities, if you give them leadership roles, now you're working with their astrology, versus if you put them in something lower or with something like a lot of authority on top of them, or they're really micromanaged, like you're not utilizing them in the way that they're going to shine, so you're going to get negative reactions.
Speaker 1:I like that. That's actually giving me a really good idea for how can I have the employees thrive at the office and utilize them to the best of their abilities rather than, like you said, maybe they feel micromanaged and maybe it's a we don't know that. We're doing that because you know of the box that we put them in. You know.
Speaker 2:Right yeah.
Speaker 1:I like that. You're giving me a really good idea. So your method integrates multiple spiritual tools. For someone that's new to spirituality, how would you recommend they start to explore these tools to enhance their personal and relational understanding?
Speaker 2:I think, really just coming in at whatever level you're comfortable, I think a lot of people start with.
Speaker 2:It seems like the trajectory is kind of like they're just starting to open up, to like there's something like behind the scenes here, like there's there's things that play that I'm not fully understanding and synchronicities, I think, is a big one that sort of starts attracting people where they're, you know, seeing repeated numbers, or they have their lucky numbers, or they're like every time I see this, then this, or just sort of things that start kind of pulling them out of the box or out of the norm, or, you know, it can even be things like, you know, a family member passes away and they're like I feel like they're still here, like I smell them or I see them or you know whatever. I mean it doesn't have to be that end of the spectrum, but I think it's always something that sort of just starts kind of tapping on the reality they thought they knew, and I think that is usually. It's just sort of one step after the next. They're like, you know, those synchronicities start leading them to people or concepts that really draw them in, because I really feel like there's so many portals to get to this information and you know, with, like, the philosophy degree, there was a lot of like comparative religious study in that, obviously, and you know the perennial philosophy of things as far as, like, they pop up in different religions and cultures and timeframes, and you know.
Speaker 2:So I think whatever portal you're kind of coming in through, you're probably going to end up in around the same space. You know regardless, like all roads lead home, kind of thing. So I think that's really the first thing I tell people and and then usually you know they start being drawn to one specific thing or or practice, because there are so many again, even in the spiritual world, right, there's astrology, there's, you know, akashic records, there's, you know, just, psychics and terror reader. I mean there's so many ways that I think again, it's really just opening up your reality to something that you hadn't perceived before.
Speaker 1:And once you start to do that, it really is just you've started like you've taken that it's so true, like when I look back, like you've been on this journey a while, so have I like, and it's I look back at like what sparked my original interest in this realm, and it really was like Sylvia Brown on Montel Williams, like I loved Sylvia Brown, you know, I love the psychic, you know, and I love how she talked with her finger. Yeah, yeah, like it. Just I just I was fascinated that you could tap into this energetic realm of information that you just may not be aware of and know, you don't. You're doing the same thing with energetics and astrology and tarot and everything else. It's just, it's fascinating just to be open to what we may not be able to see, you know, yeah, but we can see operate, you know.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think the same way that there's like laws of gravity, I think there's laws of energetics, operating laws, where it's like. I think there's like laws of gravity, I think there's laws of energetics, operating laws, where it's like I think there's all kinds of things that are at play, you know the same way that we don't maybe like see or whatever, the law of gravity we see it's operational around this.
Speaker 2:It just took us a while to kind of get the blueprint for that, and I think that's what we're kind of doing right now with energetics is, like you know, with the law of attraction coming out, we're seeing that there are operating laws that maybe work in a different way than what we're used to. And then, of course, like you know, quantum is, is there and getting there and showing us these different realities and possibilities. And now we're getting into the multiverse stuff and I mean it's just like we're we're moving past everything that we thought we knew into just a completely different.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so true, it's unlimited possibilities. Like it's wild the amount of, and especially, like you said, the quantum realm. That's definitely coming big time now. So before I ask you the last question if anyone is interested in learning more about you or booking a session or reading one of your 50 publication features, what is the best place for them to go to?
Speaker 2:Yeah, bethanynicolecom is really kind of the hub of all of it. But then I have Instagram, which is at Bethany Nicole Love and that allows you also to just book sessions directly from that.
Speaker 1:Awesome. Lastly, for our listeners who are seeking to explore their relationships through an astrological lens, what initial advice would you give them to begin this journey effectively?
Speaker 2:I would say, yeah, I mean, I think it's always best to go to an expert because there's so much conflicting information.
Speaker 2:Even if you do things, you know, if you just Google this compatibility with this, you're going to get like five different, you know, like opinions or whatever Um, and that's actually the people feature. I think we're on like five or six of it now. It's like a series Um, and it's been compatibility of each sign and um, and yeah, each time she and I have talked about it, she's like oh, I thought this one would be, you know, a good match. And it's like well, sometimes it is, sometimes it's not, it's just so it depends on so many factors, right, and you're always going to get you know different opinions. I think it's great to do as much research as you can on your own, but I think you know going to an expert is going to give you their perception of it and kind of get you to a deeper level. But I think, even just if you're even, you know, going back from that, if you start with astrological compatibility, the very like step one usually is you're looking at your sun signs and looking at their elements.
Speaker 2:That's like the most simplistic bottom form, right? So if you are um a fire sign and you're looking to get to a water with a water sign, elementally how do those? They don't go well, right, right, and so that's generally how it kind of plays out. Now, there's caveats to that, right, of course, but if you're talking very simplistic, that's the place to start is your sun sign and the elements represented, because that's going to give you just bottom line. This is kind of how it's going to operate and it just gives you a starting point to kind of go from there and then you're seeing how that kind of plays out.
Speaker 2:And I think what's really great about that, too, is that it really takes the blame out of anything, because I think that's where people can really get off base with each other is they think that their way of operating is somehow better than this person's way of operating, and it's like they're just different and so it's okay that this person's really fiery, it's okay that this person's really watery, like this is how they operate. So you're just saying that it's okay that everybody operates in this way. You can create compatibility with that awareness and you can just, you know, learn how to you know, handle conflict better, handle communication. You just learn. Okay, this is not the way that I communicate with this person, because it doesn't land.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:In way and you know I always think of you. Know I'm an Aries and I have a brother who's an Aries, and so our communication is just like very fiery, very back and forth and, um, I have like the most earth sign parents ever. We're like why are you guys like at each other? And we're like we're not. This is just how we are fighting. We're just talking. But you know it's like you have to kind of move that to different levels, if you're know. So the way I communicate with um, fire signs to me is natural, very easy. I don't feel like I have to filter it as much. But then if I talk to a cancer, I'm putting a big old filter on that because I know it's not going to land the same way. Right, basic communication styles like that, you, you really learn how to do that more effectively with astrology.
Speaker 1:That is very good advice, like cause my dad's a cancer and I'm like, oh, I should probably filter how I speak with him, like because that's thank you, yeah, cause sometimes I don't think my dad understands me.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, yeah, especially with that pairing understands me. So, yeah, yeah, especially with that pairing usually to fire signs. In general process their emotions a very different way and cancers can have a really tough time with how they do that Because cancer is like much more of a slow processing of their emotions, which is why you know they they talk about like a cancer will bring up their boyfriend from 10 years ago as if it just happened. Because there's something in that emotion.
Speaker 2:Um whereas a fire sign. Sometimes we'll just kind of vent, we'll blow our out, and then we're like, okay, I'm over that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like move on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cancer's like trying to catch up with that. So with cancer friends I just kind of have learned like I don't vent to them. I don't talk to them about super high octane stuff because it doesn't seem to, um, they don't seem to land with it as well. Versus, like I have lots of fire sign friends and I can talk to them and we can, you know.
Speaker 2:You just kind of learn like who might be a better, you know place for different things.
Speaker 2:You learn how to utilize your friendships in more positive ways and kind of the limits of different things and and why sometimes you know as a fire sign the other way too. Like sometimes cancer emotions just feel like so heavy to me. So I have to set a lot of boundaries around any kind of friends with better cancer, have cancer moons. I just have to set a lot of boundaries around any kind of friends that are cancer or have cancer wounds. I just have to be really careful with it because otherwise I just feel really, um, yeah, really drained and I'm like are you such a web like it right now? I have to kind of learn to be like you know, um and and the same. I'm sure they feel like it's just so much fire, like, yeah, I'm upset or something, and so it's just learning how to navigate that and recognizing too I think that's really important that it's not anything they're doing wrong, it's not anything I'm doing. This is just different operating systems.
Speaker 2:And so learn, you know it doesn't mean you can't be friends, or sometimes you just kind of are. Like this friendship is more of like an outer circle, Like I don't know about a lot of stuff. You just kind of learn how to utilize your, your friendships, your friendships even. You know you could transfer that to coworkers, to how you talk to your boss. I mean, you can really start to feel all of that and just improve. And it's not that you're shoving anything down, you're just kind of putting a nice little filter.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love this. So what I'm going to do after this recording is I'm going to be taking out my notebook writing down all of my friends and family signs, and I legitimately am, I'm not kidding. I'll be like, okay, so you are, I'm so excited. Well, bethany, thank you so much for Como's virtual spotlight series. You have given us a lot of information and I am truly grateful.
