The Magic of Shapeshifting ✨

The Magic of Shapeshifting ✨

WELCOME TO
SHAPESHIFTING ACADEMY

A 6-week adventure to reclaim your inner mutable genius through astrology, energy work, and embodied inquiry

SOUNDS DANGEROUS
WHAT THE HECK IS shapeshifting?
🧐

Lemme start by addressing some objections from those in the front row (I see you, Hermione):

Shapeshifters tend to have a stinky, fishy, unsavory reputation throughout the ages. I once scoured the backbrain of the World Wide Web (including JSTOR bless its heart) to collect shapeshifter mythologies from various cultures, and what I found was…ummm..unflattering.

Shapeshifters often have a reputation as untrustworthy, cunning, devious, 👺terrible👺 people / beings / whatever they are. Yikes.

So it makes sense that people (ie. you) shudder when I say, “OK! LET’S BE SHAPESHIFTERS!”

For a moment, let’s detach from pre-existing human stories on shapeshifters, and instead, look to nature Herself.

Ever seen the wonders of a chameleon changing their colors in real time? Or monarch butterflies blending in to protect their pack from predators? Or the glory of freshwater mingling with saltwater to create an estuary that support a wide-ranging ecosystem of species?

‼️ News flash ‼️
Shapeshifting is all around us.

Even THE eLEmEnTS sHaPeShifT, dearest friends 😱

This morning, when you poured water from the Brita Filter into your cup, didn’t your water shapeshift? When you transfer fire from a lighter into a candlewick, didn’t the fire shapeshift? When you repot your plants, didn’t your soil shapeshift? When the wind accumulates into a storm (scary stuff), didn’t the air shapeshift?

Shapeshifting has no morals attached to it. It's a natural phenomenon. And it's time we learn it so we can embrace its perks & know its pitfalls.

IN ADDITION! You don't have to identify with being a shapeshifter to practice shapeshifting. I believe that shapeshifting is an ability that everyone can tap into, regardless of how mutable you naturally feel yourself to be.

PS - if you don't like the word 'shapeshifting' then swap it with 'pivoting,' 'diversifying,' 'changing,' 'moving,' 'flowing,' 'surrendering.' Does that feel better for ya? If so, full permission to go to town! Shapeshifting as a concept looooves shapeshifting. Mutability is inherently mutable. (ALL THE PUNS)

Q: WHY BOTHER LEARNING SHAPESHIFTING?

A: Because you, my friend, know that deep down, you're here to be the DEUS EX MACHINA.




You’re here to surprise everyone (yourself included) with unexpected solutions that seems to fall like manna from the heavens.

You’re here to drop everyone’s jaws and snatch everyone’s wigs.

Coming up with fresh solutions is a skill. It requires you to look at hairy situations from multiple perspectives at once, to wiggle yourself out of stuckness, and then to invite everyone else into a new reality.

(Do you see how this is a crucial skill to learn at this time? Hint: Read the news)

Shapeshifting trains you to be a better problem-solver. It helps you understand the people and places around you on a deeper level because shapeshifting requires attunement. Paradoxically, this offers you the choice to be a more authentic version of yourself if that’s what you want.

Like any skill, it requires time, energy, and devotion.

Like any skill, shapeshifting can amplify your avoidant and manipulative patterns. It can also open up the most dazzling, genius, and ENTERTAINING paths to embrace your unique gifts.

That’s why we have Shapeshifting Academy (HOORAY!)


A: If you identify as a natural shapeshifter, you can always refine your shapeshifting skillz. Effective shapeshifting isn’t always easeful or instantaneous, but it transports you out of the blah-ness of creative limbo into flow and choice.

A: If you don’t identify as a natural shapeshifter, you’ve got a strong spine and tightly-clenched butt, so you can probably benefit from lubricating some of those creaky joints.

All joking aside, shapeshifting can stretch your fixed notions about who you are, what you’re here to do, and how the universe works. Embracing endings, pivots, and multiplicities is a recipe for a rich experience of your full spectrum humanity.

There’s a reason why I called it Shapeshifting Academy (instead of Shapeshifter Academy). Shapeshifting is a skill we all have, regardless of chart placements.

A: Because you want to be your most fabulous multidimensional self. 💁‍♀️💅

WHY ARE YOU SO WEIRDLY OBSESSED WITH GETTING PEOPLE TO BE MORE MUTABLE, JONATHAN?

This work is dearly personal to me.

From the time I woke up this morning, I kid you not, me & all of my ideas shapeshift 5x before I could even make my morning coffee.

I used to haaaate this shit. “Why can’t I just make up my mind and execute like a normal person?” used to be my inner monologue 88% of the time.

Literal representation of my mind each time I get closer to completing anything, including this offering.

A literal representation of my mind heading into a new direction each time I get closer to completing anything, including this offering.

When I started learning astrology, I found out that my Sun / Moon / Rising, all my angles, and my ascendant ruler are all in mutable signs and I was like...OOHH THAT’S WHY!

Then I started learning Human Design and it turned out that 7 out of 9 of my centers are open / undefined, and I was like...”No wonder I’ve got more instability than a Jenga tower in an earthquake!”

I’ve been an astrologer, a pianist, a statistician, an economist, and a singer-songwriter. If I had a dollar for each time I tumble down a seriously endless rabbit hole, my net worth will be 50x Warren Buffett.

Learning to embrace & hone my shapeshifting qualities has been the most fun, life-giving, full-freak-flag-permissioning part of my journey.

Now I’m ready to distill a lifetime of wyrd obsessions, mystic revelations, and glittering failures into a framework to gently plop you along in your journey.

So, are you ready to shapeshift from. . .

WHAT CAN YOU SHOW ME THAT I DIDN’T ALREADY KNOW?

TL;DR: This is not-so-secretly an applied astrology course. We’ll use the ancient science & and the alien magic that is astrology to learn shapeshifiting.

Here’s the thing you need to know about me upfront: I’m ALWAYS teaching astrology.

You know those really annoying, mildly pushy friends who’s always sprinkling random trivia over dinner at Olive Garden on a random Wednesday night to get you curious enough to finally watch that movie they’ve been harping on for decades? That’s me and astrology.

I also get that learning astrology, despite the best of our intentions, is hard. Please refer to the 50,000 courses, webinars, and online freebies I purchased from Astrology University currently gathering dust in a dank corner of my inbox.

If you, like me, fancy the idea of being nerdy, when in actuality you really just wanna get to the juicy bits, and then apply astrologically-derived ideas into your 3D reality, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

Our guides are the mutable signs (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo ‘n Sag) plus their traditional rulers (Mercury and Jupiter).

We’re gonna do class discussions, energy work, self-inquiry, tapping into the wisdom of our bodies, and all that gud stuff.

Studying mutability is CENTRAL to shapeshifting, for reasons that are probably pretty intuitive, but we won't totally get into all the technical details here (it will be fully explained inside the course though, he he).

👇 SPECIFICS 👇

  • Let’s kick things off with the context, the backstory, the “Previously on your life…” We’ll explore the mythologies and lores around mutability and see how Jupiter can lend a giant helping hand to navigate the ever-changing dance of reality.

  • Change doesn’t happen when you’re standing still.

    As stewards of transitions, movements, and all things slippery, Mercury is your guy when navigating shifty grounds. We’ll study how to connect with Mercury’s hotline.

  • Now that we’ve set up shop with Jupiter and Mercury, it’s time to dive deep into the ocean of Pisces.

    To be mutable is to be liminal. To be liminal is to fall through the cracks and to make a home in the shadows.

    We’ll untangle the wounds around our mutability and start to see it for the gift it truly is.

  • It’s time to bring out the brainpower. In this module, we’ll dissect how we use our mutability—whether it’s helping us, holding us back, or an intelligent distraction tactic we’ve set up so we don’t have to see the hard stuff. No judgment, just curiosity and exploration.

  • Mutability becomes a service when we know how to read the room, the vibes, the energy. We’ll explore tools to better understand our environments and to respond from a place of truth rather than fear.

  • Finally, we bring it all together. Virgo energy is all about practice, devotion, and making sure we don’t blow up our lives unnecessarily. We’ll talk about how to implement mutability with devotion, restraint, and care.

Each module will be delivered live via Zoom for 6 consecutive weeks, starting Thursday October 3, 2024. All classes are recorded, so no stress if you have to miss some, although we’re gonna have SO much fun you probably wouldn’t wanna do that!

We’ll also hold 3 additional office hours where you can ask questions, share your findings with fellow shapeshifters, and also, just hang out!

STILL GOT QUESTIONS?

Some people read the title of a course, jump into the price tag to see if they wanna spend that kinda moolah, and then go “YEAP, I’M IN! SAY NO MORE.”

Some others are like…”Slow down, José, I need MORE INFO to get convinced before I spend 6 weeks with this weirdo blob of a human named Jonathan.

If you’re in the second category (or some secret third I wasn’t smart enough to figure out), I got ya, boo. You’re a maximalist, slightly-skeptical person and YOU NEED INFO (I see your hand raised AGAIN, Hermione!)

Here are some questions I anticipate floating around in your head.

Don’t see your question here? Email me at jonathanjka@gmail.com. I DO bite, but I promise I won’t bite you.

  • If the descriptions at the top of the page fit you, chances are you're in the right place!

    Generally, I'd say you'll like this course if the idea of practicing mutability appeals to you.

    This course will be a balanced exploration of intellectual concept and embodiment practices.

    You can also check out my podcast, Healing The Spirit, to see if my vibe is for you or not.

  • It can be. We’re not gonna focus on foundational aspects of astrology, but if you’re either: A) looking to deepen your lived experience & understanding of astrology, or B) curious about the wisdom of mutable signs, I’d say you’ll like the class.

    If you want to learn how to read charts from the ground-up or how to analyze transits, we won't be doing that here.

  • No problem, TBH. The recordings are available for you to catch up on anytime.

    Isn’t that the beauty of online classes?

  • Yes! Just choose the payment plan option during checkout!

  • Hell, yeah. It’ll be a mutually-beneficial work-study situation because I really need some research & cataloguing help with my podcast & past teachings.

    If this sounds fun, reach out to me at jonathanjka@gmail.com to discuss deets.

  • Maybe? I’m too mutable to know that far into the future.

  • Yeap. I love working with individuals on becoming the most mutable-fluent versions of themselves. We can either do a single session or a package of 4 sessions, each focusing on one mutable sign.

A.M., USA

Jonathan is The Star - they used their magic as nourishment for each of us, encouraging us to become the Star of our own lives.

TRACY M., Taiwan

Having Jonathan as a facilitator made me feel like I could put my trust in his sage-like wisdom and feel nourished in his mother-like ability to hold a gentle and safe space. It allowed me to deepen parts of myself that I’m becoming in an open-ended way with no structure or pressure.

REBECCA P., Canada

Jonathan is one of the most amazing space holders. He makes sure that everyone feels seen and brings out special details and qualities in everyone. A truly compassionate being that also brings strong knowledge and their own voice to the table.

I also find they bring in the most incredible questions which helps others to question as well. Always very interesting and engaging information. I really feel their sun in Pisces in the 7th house - so magical, inspiring and expansive!

SKYE BELLE P., USA

Jonathan is committed to the work with humor and grace. He is well informed, present in the moment and wise. Jonathan is musical, quirky, and funny.
