Healing After Loss & Illness: Tarot Chakra Reading, Human Design & Astrology for Lisa

On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist) and Meredith Holley (astrologer and human design reader) welcome Lisa for a recorded reading after a relocation, an eight-month health crisis that temporarily affected her right arm and hand, and the recent loss of her puppy. Sarai shares an Inner Terrain chakra reading using tarot and Reiki imagery, highlighting themes of need and rebuilding stability (Five of Pentacles), collaboration and creative life work (Three of Pentacles reversed), community support (Three of Cups), truth and authority in the heart (King of Swords reversed), momentum and self-expression (Eight of Wands), clarity and trust in judgment (Justice), steady progress (Knight of Pentacles), and reciprocity (Six of Pentacles). Meredith then explains Lisa’s generator human design with mostly open centers and sacral authority, emphasizing boundaries and saying no, and connects these lessons to Lisa’s Libra sun, Scorpio moon, Pisces rising, and current overwhelming transits tied to grief, body concerns, and partnership discernment.

Music Magick with Dr. arah Grace Hanson

Sarai Johnson welcomes Dr. Sarah Grace Hanson—writer of the Substack Substack Shiny Tops and Soda Pops—onto Cauldron Her Daddy to talk about how music transmutes emotion, especially during breakups, and how sharing playlists can be a love language and a communal, almost worship-like experience. Sarah Grace traces her music obsession from a musician father and classical training to discovering 2000s indie rock, building seasonal and monthly playlists inspired by Hanif Abdurraqib, and diving into current favorites like Wednesday and other North Carolina indie twang. They discuss live shows as a meditative, cathartic practice, using loud or sad songs to process feelings, and Sarai’s experience of losing her singing voice and later returning to music after a “serious adult” phase. The conversation also touches on Brandi Carlile, Boygenius, and Sarai’s complicated affection for Taylor Swift.

Monogamy Games: Love Island USA S8, Reality TV Romance Rules, and What They Reveal

**SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT LOVE ISLAND SEASON 8**

Hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley introduce their podcast and unpack “monogamy games” in reality TV, focusing on Love Island USA Season 8 (with spoilers) while also naming related shows like The Ultimatum, Love Is Blind, Perfect Match, Married at First Sight, and The Bachelor. They explain Love Island’s structure (villa in Fiji, coupling up, bombshells, Casa Amor, audience votes, movie night, and dumping) and discuss how this season felt intensely monogamy-forward, including purity-culture vibes like calling others “lustful.” They critique cast dynamics around Kenzie, Sincere, Melanie, Sol, and others, highlighting double standards, coercion, and how monogamy narratives shape shame and control. The conversation broadens into autonomy, relationship scripts, polyamory as orientation versus choice, and the idea that compliance doesn’t prevent hurt, ending with resources to connect with their work.

Ethical Sh*t Talk: Steven Forrest, Racism, and Accountability in the Astrology Community

CW: This episode talks about race and it is two white women talking about race. If you are white, we encourage you to get over triggers you have and listen. If you are not white, you are absolutely welcome, and also we have stuff to learn from you!

Hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley of “Cauldron Her Daddy” discuss racism and power dynamics in spiritual institutions, focusing on astrologer Steven Forrest’s comments on a podcast with Ricky Williams where Forrest used the N-word, made racist statements, and offered revisionist claims about the KKK while noting an ancestor helped found it. They describe community backlash, critiques of Forrest’s initial non-apology, and harassment and DARVO-like defenses from some supporters, emphasizing impact over intent and the need for white people to address racism. They reference broader context of racialized violence, call for following Black astrologers such as Sam Reynolds and Shani Nicole (The Empathic Realist), and note UAC removed Forrest as a speaker after public pressure, with further statements and apologies following.

Avoiding Manipulative Dating Patterns: Tarot, Chakras, Astrology & Human Design Reading (Inner Terrain)

On Called and Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist/witch) and Meredith Holley (astrologer/human design reader/witch) give their friend Cinnamon Girl an “Inner Terrain” tarot-and-chakra reading blended with astrology and human design to address how to stay open in dating while recognizing and avoiding manipulative, narcissistic dynamics. Sarai pulls tarot and describes chakra landscapes and animal guides (lioness at the root, toucan in the sacral, frog in the solar plexus, black bear at a fiery heart canyon, rabbit in redwoods at the throat, sunglasses at the third eye, lightning in the crown), emphasizing self-trust, celebrating progress, agency, and releasing self-imposed traps. Meredith connects themes to Cinnamon Girl’s chart (Aries–Libra interception, authenticity and anger, partnership boundaries, T-square, current transits and an upcoming second Saturn return) and her human design (generator with emotional authority), highlighting boundaries, believing actions over words, processing emotions without over-rationalizing, and partnering with oneself.

Sarai used the Fifth Spirit Tarot deck for this reading.

August 2026 Forecast: “Total Eclipse of the Heart” Tarot + Astrology (Two Eclipses, Venus in Libra & More)

Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley introduce their podcast Cauldron Her Daddy and share an August 2026 forecast themed “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” dedicated to Bonnie Tyler’s memory. Sarai’s tarot spread—Emperor, Eight of Wands, Hermit, Death, Knight of Wands, Devil, and an overall Two of Pentacles—focuses on building supportive structures, managing overwhelm, accessing inner wisdom, grieving and transforming old patterns, igniting passion-driven change, releasing oppressive systems and inner critics, and maintaining balance. Meredith then outlines key astrology: Lughnasadh (Aug 1), a total solar eclipse in Leo (Aug 12) and a partial lunar eclipse on the Pisces–Virgo axis (Aug 27), plus notable transits including Venus into Libra (Aug 6), Mercury into Leo (Aug 9) then Virgo (Aug 25), Mars into Cancer (Aug 11), long void-of-course Moon periods (Aug 10; Aug 28–29), and Venus beginning its pre-shadow for an October retrograde (Aug 31), emphasizing rest, integrity in relationships, and practical self-care.

What is Sexology?

On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist and witch) and Meredith Holley (astrologer, human design reader, and witch) explain what sexology is and how somatic sexology differs from clinical sexology and sexological bodywork. Sarai describes her coaching approach—focused on nervous system regulation, embodiment, self-trust, consent, communication, and releasing shame—rather than diagnosis or therapy. They discuss how purity culture and rape culture shape sexuality through gendered scripts, how mismatch and rejection affect relationships, and why “normal” amounts of sex and cultural standards can obscure real needs and boundaries. Sarai emphasizes sovereignty, exploring gender/sexuality/relationship styles (including monogamy, polyamory, and relationship anarchy), and seeing relationships as flexible rather than a sunk-cost obligation. They close with ways to work with Sarai (saraijohnson.com) and Meredith (fourthcupastrology.com).

Cauldron Reading: Recovering After Major Change

In this episode, the Sarai and Meredith provide a reading for Diana, who just went through major transits with Uranus in Taurus. Diana discusses childhood health issues that were not taken seriously and the experience of masking (and unmasking) with neurodivergence. Sarai provides a tarot card reading, using the Fifth Spirit Tarot Deck, and Meredith reads Diana's human design and natal chart to answer questions about how to recover from major shakeups as Uranus has moved from Taurus to Gemini.

Ethical Shit Talk: Boy Mom Culture, Jenny Mollen Backlash & Parenting Without Enmeshment

On Cauldron and Her Daddy, Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley discuss the backlash to Jenny Mollen’s Mother’s Day writing and a photo captioned “Your eldest son is the most toxic man you’ll ever date,” examining how “boy mom” and “girl dad” culture can normalize misogyny, gender essentialism, and parent-child enmeshment. They argue that joking about dating a child and competing with a child’s girlfriend crosses boundaries, can echo grooming dynamics, and reflects emotional dependence on children for validation. They contrast this with accountable parenting: respecting children’s sovereignty, teaching consent and privacy, modeling repair after conflict, and supporting adolescents’ relationships without projecting adult needs. They also touch on divorce, grief, generational trauma, and resources for support via Sarai’s coaching and Meredith’s astrology/human design readings.

16: Incubating Revolution: July 2026 Month Ahead Tarot and Astrology

In this episode of Cauldron Her Daddy, Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley share a July 2026 month-ahead astrology forecast and a “You Say You Want a Revolution” tarot spread focused on inner revolution and its collective impact. Sarai pulls Temperance as the month’s theme (alchemical balance amid extremes) and the Oyster as an animal guide (patience, inner treasures, sharing the “pearl”), then reads cards highlighting burnout and productivity culture (10 of Wands), sustainable methodical change (Knight of Pentacles), endurance paired with enjoyment (9 of Wands crossed by 9 of Pentacles), complicity through joylessness (Page of Cups) and accountability (Justice), practical review and pivots (7 of Pentacles), collective emotional care and embodiment (Queen of Cups), and breaking oppressive patterns and systems (The Devil). Meredith then outlines key transits and lunations: Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Jupiter into Leo, Cancer new moon (July 14), Aquarius full moon (July 29), a volatile Mars–Uranus conjunction around July 3–4, and a rare supportive outer-planet alignment mid-month encouraging transformative social change, ending with invitations to act steadily, rest, and be courageously “too much.”
