Dear Seekers and IX Keepers,
It is my great pleasure to introduce the IX Celestial Calendar! We designed the Calendar to provide insights into particularly auspicious planetary alignments in the month ahead and give suggestions on how to use the energies to access greater levels of consciousness.
It is a co-creation with our esteemed partner and spiritual astrological expert, Demitra Vassiliadis, from Heaven To Earth Astrology.
In the Calendar, Demitra highlights key planetary aspects, turning them into understandable energetic tools. By pairing these tools with Crystals, Demitra guides us to use our meditations, intentions, and actions to amplify the energies even further and create targeted boosts on the path to higher consciousness.
Demitra introduces a variety of Crystals in the entries. If you don’t have a particular Crystal, that’s perfectly fine. Use what you do have. All Crystals have the ability to amplify energy. The most important part is to connect with your Crystal as your partner first, then connect to the planetary energies. The synergy from the three aspects is powerful and profound.
We hope you find the IX Celestial Calendar to be another inspiring tool to align body, mind, and spirit on your journey of growth. As always, we are here, with you and for you.
With Love and Light,
Mayra Hernández GonzálezCo-Founder
