April 21 through April 27, 2025

The Aquarius Moon will inspire us on Monday and Tuesday, as it provides innovative ideas and new options for us to consider. Things slow down considerably when the Moon dips into Pisces Wednesday and Thursday, providing us with a few days of easy-going and time for contemplation. However, once the Moon marches into Aries on Friday, we'll be moving full steam ahead for the next few days, which in turn, makes the end of the week the most productive. We'll experience a new Moon in Taurus on Sunday, marking a two-week cycle when we can move on to new projects, find compromises to break any impasses we are dealing with, and for all intents and purposes, make decisions we've been holding off on. Make a wish, as this is one of the most powerful Moons of the year for manifesting!

How to Select a Sport to Support Your Soul, by Cyndi Dale

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

During my life, I've often been more of a bench warmer than a figure on the field. One of the reasons is that I've always wanted to relate to a sport. If I was going to put time into getting good—or even okay—at an athletic endeavor, I wanted it to help me express my "real self."

I assume that the most successful athletes often feel this way, even if they don't talk about it. Why shouldn't you be spiritually into your sport? I mean, there is only a single Simone Biles or Tom Brady, but you can still do "you."

I'd love to see you engage in activities that will aid you in embodying your true self.

Personally, I'm firmly committed to my sports, which aren't glamorous: walking and hiking. (Let me be real. The walking occurs with the dogs. The hiking? It's often in foreign countries, which is cool, but I usually make sure there are taxis available in case I desire to skip climbing the mountain.) Because my soul is fully into my sporty endeavors, exercising doesn't feel like exercise.

Ready to see how this works?

First off, I'm going to define a few terms. Then I'll share lists of subtle elements, or basic components of reality, that can each describe the personality of a soul. You'll select the descriptors that best suit you. Finally, I'll overview several categories of sports in relation to their use of the same elements, so you can find a good match.

Let's start with some terms.

Your soul is a part of your spirit, or essence. Your spirit is your full self, which knows it is completely part of whatever you call Source. Your soul is like a slowed down version of your spirit.

Basically, your soul is that part of you that has been traveling across time to learn about love. Sure, it can incur wounds and injuries, but it is also growing and developing. Your soul has probably been incarnating for who knows how long to better understand its own unique beingness but also to enjoy this world and the relationships in it.

In relation to your soul, your body is the vessel for a soul's experience. It contains information and conclusions from your soul's experiences across time and is also encoded with data related to your ancestry, childhood, culture, the earth, and more.

A sport is an activity that involves physical exertion and skill. This focus on physicality is a vital component of movement. After all, you can't exactly call writing a sport, although it can be hard. And yet, a sport involves so much more than bodily expression—as I'll explain, it also ideally involves your soul.

This is because a sport is not only about the body; it is really about energy, which I define as energy that moves. When exercising, we're all about spending, making, and increasing our energy. BUT—there are two types of energy. And physical energy composes less than 1 percent of all of reality. The rest of all energy, 99.9999-plus percent, is subtle. Subtle energy could also be called psychic, spiritual, and quantum energy.¹

Many parts of you are made of subtle energy, to include your soul. When your unique soul is melded through your body during an activity, its subtle energy increases the health of the body—and your soul gets to exercise its own vital way of being. By selecting a sport that matches your soul's special personality, you exponentially improve all areas of your life every time you exercise.

Selecting a soul-based sport starts with figuring out the basic ideals or traits of your soul. To do so, read through the list of descriptors that relate to the different elements, or subtle building blocks, that create concrete and immaterial reality. Your soul relates to one or two elements more than others. And so, simply select the one or two lines shared next to choose the signifier that best describe you.

Soul Traits by Elements
Select one or two lines that best describes your inner self:
Fire Traits: Dedicated to passion, purification, and physical power
Water Traits: Moves with intuitive flow and according to emotional desires
Air Traits: Devoted to mental ideas, organizing systems, and workplace success
Earth Traits: Loves to build, fortify, support others, add strength, be protective
Metal Traits: Fights negativity and evil, angel of truth and justice
Stone Traits: Holder of history, provider of stability and solidity
Wood Traits: Known for cheeriness, optimism, and adaptability
Ether Traits: Transmitter of higher truths, font of insights and conscious
Star Traits: Made of fire and ether, or passion and higher ideals; doesn't fit in with normal earthlings
Light Traits: Always and only about love and healing
Sound Traits: Always and mainly about power and productivity

Next, you are going to read through the following descriptions of various sports and the elements used within each. Through this process, pay attention to how you react to the categories that include one or two of the subtle elements related to your soul. Your conclusions will help you gauge what sporty expressions might qualify as a soul-sport.

Sports Categories—By Elements
Following are descriptors of the major sports categories and the types of elements usually employed in each.

Baseball, softball: Earth, fire, and air. Souls who love these types of sports are dedicated to building and fortifying. You play "the long game" and are prone to quick bursts of energy. These types of games will help you bond with others, add to your energy reserves, and release pent up feelings and physical blocks. The mentality of this category speaks too to your natural and innate intelligence.

Basketball: Fire and metal. You like moving like quicksilver and are dedicated to keep the "other" (not your own) team from scoring, like metal types do. Engaging with this and similar team games highlights your ability to block out negativity while creating awesome gains.

Bicycling: Air. Everything you do in cycling is about air—moving air, posing in air, and moving speedily through the air. Any type of bicycling will clear dysfunctional beliefs and keep your thinking smooth and fit, tasks your soul excels at.

Canoeing: Water, and either metal or wood. Canoes propel through water, and you excel at encouraging intuitive and emotional flow. In a wood canoe, or while carrying the canoe through forest portages, you indulge your ability to plan and execute goals with optimism. If you employ a metal canoe, you are strengthening your innate ability to defy negativity and expand higher thoughts.

Dance: Sound and air; sometimes star. Dancers defy the ground, as if flying. So do you, following an internal or external source of music to empower you and higher ideas. If your dance style is highly unique, you probably own star traits, faculties that are extraordinary to you.

Football (American): Also covers rugby and Lacrosse. Earth. Earth is about protection, fortifying, and moving slowly. This and similar games will increase your ability to hold the line while meeting goals. This category of sports will also bolster any warrior attitudes and resilience.

Golf: Air and wood; possibly also light. Whoosh! The ball flies over the green. Of course, the elements involved are air and wood. What occurs in the mind of the golfer but how to maneuver through woodsy areas with a sense of optimism? Visualization, a capability of light, is also vital to most golfers. During golf, your soul can accelerate loving thoughts with positivity and optimism.

Hiking/Walking: Earth or stone; possibly light, water, or wood as well. The elements of hiking and walking are dependent on where they are executed. For instance, when on solid earth, you are activating your grounding strengths. In the mountains or on sand, you cultivate your stability as a stone or protective being.

Other elements depend on your location. As shared, my personal sporty love is hiking. When I traverse lakes, I am exploring my intuition and soothing my emotions. In the desert, I am also absorbing light or love. Via the desert, I fill my soul in with the smiles from the wood element.

Horseback riding: Light and sound. Horses are incredible beings, says anyone who knows how to blend with one like a centaur by connecting through light, or love, heart-to-heart. No matter the gait, you let your soul activate your sound element. And the best riders know how to "horse whisper," or use psychic sound to earn a horse's trust.

Martial Arts: Ether and air. All martial arts, ranging from Tai Chi to karate, ideally activate your own and a partner's higher consciousness, which is related to ether. These practices depend on employing higher truths while you entrain body and soul.

Running or jogging: Always accesses air and sound, and possibly also earth, light, stone, or wood. Running is always an air activity, aiding you in cleaning your mind of negativity by encouraging mindfulness and mindlessness. Performed in syncopations, running also activates your abilities to employ the sound element, creating a percussion of rhythm for soul expressions.

The other elements stimulated depend on the location of your running. Are you running in relationship to the ground? You are building strength. On a gravel path or mountain road? You are getting in touch with your stone-based powers. Jogging in the sun? Your soul can focus on what you dearly love. In a forest? You are increasing your woodsy or merry nature.

Skiing or Skating: Water and air, possibly other elements. Think of it. Water skiing involves standing (or trying to) in the water. While performing this heroic and ballet-like sport, you are restoring balance to your emotions and mind, cementing them together—an innate skill if you have a water soul! Snow skiing and skating incorporate the same soul strengths, except the water is frozen. If you are winter skiing in a lot of light, you are also in an ideal position to reflect on what you love. If you are cross-country skiing, the movements are rhythmic, empowerment sound strengths.

Soccer: Earth, sound, and air. Soccer is performed in a grounded manner, which activates your instinctive power and strength. It is also highly rhythmic and sequenced, which brings out your ability to self-empower through sounding. Of course, soccer is also a running sport. As an air activity, it helps your soul cleansing your mind and move you into a natural timeless, mindful state.

Swimming: Sound and water. Swimming is rhythm and fluid. Sound is empowering, and with every stroke, you are getting in touch with—and balancing—your intuition and emotions.

Tennis: Air and earth. This is typically a singular sport, and a mental game for the player. Your soul strength, however, comes from the earth—the ground from which you spring. Tennis will aid your soul in releasing fears so you can draw power from the earth and your soul.

Do you get the gist of what we're doing? Whenever you want, go ahead, and analyze other sports according to your soul aptitudes.

Last summer, I was driving to work when I had a sudden vision of a man I feel a strong spiritual connection to. I believe we are soul mates though we have never had an opportunity to be together in this life. We are friendly acquaintances but do not see each other often. In any event, in my mind's eye I saw myself in a kitchen I didn't recognize, and heard knocking. I turned and saw my friend standing outside a screen door. He asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I agreed and went outside with him. During our walk, he told me he loved and admired me but we could not be together in this life because we each have separate major missions to accomplish, he as an artist and me as a mental health professional. As a result, we both need to be in relationships with people who will support us and help us reach these goals. (He has been in such a relationship for years.) This type of devotion was not something we could provide each other (particularly him to me). He went on to say that I would meet another soul mate soon and that this man would love me completely and encourage me to follow my dreams. (Strangely enough, I met my current boyfriend two months later, and he fits this description!) My friend wished me well and the vision ended. I know this friend frequently practices transcendental meditation. Did he send me this vision? If so, what was his intention? The information he provided about our connection was something I already accepted and was at peace with. I am curious to hear your take on this experience. Thanks so much!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the people we love and admire from afar could come to us and tell us everything that we want or need to hear? Then we could go on with our lives as if nothing had happened between us. This would enable us to avoid addressing the magical dreams/visions we have with the other person, and allow us to keep things the way they had been on the surface while we move on with our own individual paths.

I believe your vision was born out of the love that you feel for this man, and that he probably admires you as well. I know a lot about spiritual law and human nature, and while it's not impossible, it's improbable that this person sent you that vision. For someone else to come into your subconscious that way, they would have to be a Guide, Angel or Deity.

Perhaps one of your Guides came to you in that vision and impersonated that person so that you would be able to get on with your life and move in a completely different direction without any regrets. Our Guides and Angels often appear to us in our visions as other people, places or things to show us what will happen in the new beginnings that are coming our way.

We all have free will, and there are spiritual laws that prevent other people from taking over our minds and pushing themselves into our inner worlds. It's possible that you'd been wondering about the strong connection you feel to this man, and your own mind created this vision for you. When you went for a mental walk with your friend, you
heard all the things you needed to hear from your own subconscious mind.

If you were attached to being with this person prior to this experience, this vision helped you release your need to be with him and allowed you to move on with your life. It encouraged you to go in a different direction with a new boyfriend whose goals and dreams are in harmony with yours.

Regardless of the source of this vision, by releasing your need to be with this person, your life has been enriched. Now you'll be able to let this new relationship blossom into what you've always wanted.

Realize that this was a choice that YOU made, not some mystical thing that happened because someone else willed it to be. Your own mind and spirit is stronger within you than anyone else's ever could be. I'm glad you've found someone wonderful and that you're able to build a life together in a way that really works for you both.

Susyn:

Based on the nature of the messages you received during this vision, you can be almost certain that your friend was visiting you in spirit either through transcendental meditation or astral projection. There were specific sentiments and information he wanted you to consciously know even though you were already aware of them in your heart.

Though you had already accepted that you were destined to take different paths in life, his visit via this vision was very important to both of you. He wanted you to know that he shared your feelings. He also wanted to make sure you understood the reasons you could not be together in this lifetime, though both of you had hopes for a different outcome. He felt that sharing these messages with you would bring peace and acceptance to the situation.

One of the greatest challenges we face is the higher awareness that we have shared loving relationships in other lifetimes that cannot be repeated in our current incarnation. However, I sense that in past lives as well as this lifetime, you were separated by various circumstances. The kitchen you saw yourself in during the vision suggested to me a war-time past life. It may have been that in that lifetime, he was called to duty and did not return.

It's highly likely that you have a pattern in your past lives of having great feelings for one another and being unable to express them. If you are willing to do some past life research with a professional psychic, you could discover more than one lifetime in which you had this sort of experience.

The beauty of this relationship is how you two are able to connect on a spiritual level, if not a physical one. He sent you messages of comfort, love and support, and now you can also do the same.

The best way to do this is to write him a letter, sharing any thoughts and loving sentiments you would like to send his way. Then, during a guided meditation in which you focus on him, you can burn the letter with the flame of a white candle. Burning the letter will send it out into the atmosphere where he can receive it. This may happen when he is meditating, dreaming, or having a vision similar to yours.

When we remember that our spirits connect us more deeply than any physical or emotional interactions we might share, and that this type of connection endures through lifetimes, it's easier to accept the human limitations we are destined to operate under during certain phases of our journeys through time.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
