It’s funny to me how buzzy/energized/frenzied I feel when recording some of these and how it always comes across as very soft/chill/calm. If I could magic-school-bus you into my brain, I would.

This will have an incidental part two. I’m behind in releasing audios, but we’re quickly approaching the end. I’m curious what will be found on the other side. Likely not anything of note. Endings tend to be unceremonious once they pass.

I can always tell when I say something or write something with an edge of clarity. I can’t control it, but it’s a delight when it comes. This was one of those — an extension of the other day, it seems.

I remembered while listening back to this that Jacob Anderson recently talked about his experience doing this as a kid, and my brain lit up like a light display. One of my favorite kindred spirit moments.

This has been such a weird process. Up-and-down energy. Curious to see the result as we get closer to the end.

If you’re curious about IFS, I’d recommend this resource in the Masterlist. It’s been game-changing for me.

Today’s audio has a video version, because I felt like it. I lie about not editing. No chopping up the voice, but I wanted some visual zest.

Just realized my light literally turns on when I hit the grand conclusion. The universe is a comedian.

Channel 1, Channel 2, & Channel 3 mentioned.

People Watching mentioned (everyone on earth should watch it once).

I’ve been thinking a lot about structure, the string from me to you. I want to find more of you, and I also want to find ways to show up that make sense for me.

The only answer that returns is just show up. No need to do it up fancy, overtrain, or overcalculate. Just go, just come, just be.

Still I wonder.

Peach’s video:

This was a strange temporal, warpy week. Everything I had learned unraveled in my hands. This audio revelation did ground me at least.

It’s taking longer to put these posts together, so another shift has arrived.

August’s playlist! Listen & check in later for updates 𓂃 ོ☼𓂃

If you’ve been keeping up with my semi-daily voice notes the last month, then you know July was intense. Predictive tarot always shocks me with how it manages to find accuracy. It’s never how you think it will be. It demands surrender through assertion. Like a weather report, I know it will rain, but I won’t know until the moment how I’ll feel about the rain. I can bring an umbrella to prepare and still decide I don’t want or need it. I can take my chances that the report is slightly off and risk being soaked. What will be will be.

That’s why I like to call these monthly readings tarot forecasts. You decide if you want to pack an umbrella.

Enough preamble. Let’s see the reading!

BOTD: The Artist

This major arcana specific to the Luna Tarot speaks to the creator in us. The creator or artist is understood as a vessel—ideas are given to be delivered by us, not sourced from the raw material of our cells. You must learn to listen closely, to interpret the unspoken into something legible. Last month was themed around a birth that we had to initiate. As we progress forward, it’s our job to keep our vessel clear as we nurture this new reality to life.

Card 1: King of Swords

There’s been quite a bit of King energy this summer! King of Swords returns two months later to help us get our heads straight again. We may have got caught up in the fiery speed forward that arrived at the end of July, and it’s time to check ourselves. Are we being too hasty? Are you considering not just what you want but what you need? The King of Swords does have a heart, and he likes it used wisely. There may be a better way to approach this if you take a second to assess the full scope of your situation before moving forward.

Card 2: The Star

This month will have eclipse season, hitting Leo then Pisces. While the Star is associated with Aquarius, the Aquarius full moon’s clarifying energy may echo here too. Eclipses are portals from one stage of our lives into the next. The Star sings similarly of transformation, meeting us toward the end of this process where healing begins. We integrate what we’ve learned, the shadows we faced, and allow it to connect us to the greater whole. Traditionally, the Star figure is depicted with two goblets pouring onto the land and into a body of water. This interconnected nature of flow is what the Star speaks to. In this deck, the figure is surrounded by an airy material associated with the divine. This healing process is tapping into something greater than ourselves.

Card 3: Page of Pentacles

Sometimes after an intense period of change and confrontation, we attach to a sense of half-baked omniscience. It’s in your best interest to drop this and stay curious. The Page’s attentiveness comes from a commitment to being a student above anything else. We need to be open to learning, re-framing, and seeing new perspectives that can help us bring to life what we're meant to. Throughout these forecasts this year, there’s been a recurring theme around new journeys, progression, and so on. Page of Pentacles reminds us that there’s no grand destination we’re moving towards. Creating and assessing is what matters. Exploration is the center of it all.

Summary:

After a long period of upheaval, this month’s energy is bringing us a place to land. We’re readjusting our approach after finding the fire to move forward at the end of last month. This restabilization will come in hand once we reach the next wave of transformational energy around eclipse season. Unlike previous points of the year, this transformation is less about pulling back the mask or leaving things behind. Instead, we find our north star, integrating the lessons that had emerged over the last few months and seeing the larger web our healing reveals. This process welcomes in a contemplative, curious energy, creating the perfect channel to help birth the creation that wants to move through us.

Since this month feels straightforward, I will return to simple read programming. I hope this installment and the others give you another layer of understanding this coming month. Sending love, sending hugs, and we’ll talk again soon!

Wanna read last month’s forecast?

* I finished no books. None of what I’ve been reading felt worth finishing. I did start reading fanfiction again, and, of course, newsletters on here.

* The only movie I watched worth sharing is Sheep Detectives. I also saw The Odyssey like everyone else, but you don’t need my suggestion for that one.

* I watched The Vampire Lestat. It’s unfair to compare it to Interview with the Vampire. It’s fun, messy, deeply flawed, and salvageable if they get it together next season.

* Several albums came across my desk in the latter half of the month that I fell in love with. A quick list:

* Oh yeah? by Steve Lacy (predictable of me)

* Lovesweet by girlsweetvoiced (won me over)

* LOVE IS THE LAW by Love Spells (fiending satiated!)

* Music, Fashion, Film by Charli XCX (also won me over)

* BONUS: S. E. Rogie’s discography. Perfect music to live in. I love high life.

* Here’s July’s playlist. Every song had my heart throughout the month, but “All I Did Was Dream of You” by beababadoobee lingers on the way out.

* I’ll also highlight “everybody fits” by Hannah Montijo. I texted her because itching for new music, and this single came out a week or so later. The lord works in mysterious timing.

This post will be updated with a YouTube version of the playlist when the time comes. I also created a separate tag page for these voice note entries, half for my own interest, half for yours, that you can find on the home page. Or here, if you’d like.

I wasn’t going to do a review post of any kind this month. I honestly got so depressed at one point I wasn’t even listening to music the way I usually do. As usual, looking back to remember and reflect was reassuring. Sometimes all you have to do is keep moving forward. Something arrives eventually.
