I never knew how my space needed nuance until I sat under a full moon in Puerto Vallerta for Imbolc. The ocean, and all its treasures, pulled me into a new framework. It felt like my state of mind had been completely shifted by holding presence for myself next to the ocean. It felt like something in me had grounded and magnified when I saw the whales that move to the warm waters of Mexico to mate and give birth to new calves.
I had seen whales on my first trip to Mexico. The whales of Cabo were beautiful, yet completely foreign to me. I didn’t grow up with the ocean. The fabric of that part of nature had not blended into my culture. I have always been a mountain child. The terrain of trees and forests have held my heart for so long. Yet, the first time I sat on that water, rocking to the waves, and seeing the whales breach the water was overwhelming.
The whales and dolphins I saw in Puerto Vallerta were much more visible than in Cabo. The whales kept breaching, kept showing themselves, making everyone on the boat cheer and applaud such sights. For me, the experience of the whales and the oceans was more than just a wonderful day. It was profoundly spiritual. To see something that before had been resigned to documentaries and videos from others suddenly became something that was mine to cherish, to hold, and create space for.
When I pulled the Whale card for May (actually, when I pull the Whale regardless), I still feel a deep shift in me. The scale of energy that comes with the whale is both completely huge and surprisingly straightforward. When I pulled the Whale card for May, I tapped into the messages of the whale energy being a great mover. This means that when whale energy is present, we are being invited to move and navigate ourselves, keeping in mind that as we move, we should be moving with intuition. We should move and navigate ourselves with an understanding that the energies around us may not seem familiar, or may even make us feel completely out of our depths. But we need to keep moving anyway.
When we move and navigate ourselves from a place of sacred trust, we are letting the universe open to us in a way that shifts our soul purpose into focus, and mutes the ego. We are not being moved from a bullet list of places we must find or see. We are being moved into a state of deeper being, by letting the journey morph in the way that it needs to until we find our warmer waters. This requires a sense of trust, surrender, faith, and emotional honesty. It is okay to say that we feel out of our depths despite the fact that we need to keep going. It is okay to recognize that this energy is going to shape us and redefine us as we seek to create shape for our manifestations.
As this month is nearing a close, I urge you to tap into what has been moving you this month. What have you had to surrender and be fluid to in this monthly journey? How did it make you feel? Embrace whale energy by closing the final days of this month with a direction to move with intuition towards warmer waters without needing a sign that says: turn here, go here, do this, destination up ahead. Let your intuition shape your actions and help awaken your emotional honesty. Communicate that to others if needed, and continue to let the situation, the day, the space unfold. Whale energy is going to redefine us, but through self-care and check-ins, we won’t need a map. We will only need our unaltered truth and presence.
