✨ September’s Mystical Currents: Moon & Hermit Energy ✨

This month, the energies are moving fast... like a river sweeping you downstream into the mystery of what’s next.

In this episode of It’s Giving Mystical, Kirsten dives into the transformative weather of September 2023 through the lens of the Moon and Hermit cards.

Together, these archetypes unground and uproot us for the higher good, ushering in themes of completion, endings, and luminous new beginnings. Kirsten reflects on what it means to surrender control, trust intuition, and allow dreams and non-linear navigation to carry us where we’re meant to go.

🌙 Expect insights on:

• The turbulence and initiation of September’s Moon + Hermit currents

• How to release the need for clarity and embrace the unknown

If you’ve been craving guidance on how to ride the waves of this fluid, dreamlike season, this episode offers a mystical, empowering map to navigate the journey.

Tune in, breathe deep, and let the river carry you where you’re meant to arrive. 🌊

✨ The River Moves Fast: Seven of Wands (Reversed) ✨

September is coming, and with it comes speed, surprise, and illumination. This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we step into the energy of the Seven of Wands reversed, gearing up for upcoming month of the Hermit and the Sun. What happens when mystery, fire, and inner authority meet the quickened pace of eclipse season?

Together we explore:
🌊 How to ride the fast-moving river of life without clinging to the branches on the shore.
🔥 The Seven of Wands as protection of your energetic body and the reminder that your authority comes from within.
🌙 The practice of non-reactivity: emotions moving through you like leaves floating down a river.
💫 Why you don’t need to fix or narrate everything that arises—and how to restore compassion and humanity in the process.
☀️ The Hermit and the Sun as guides for September, bringing validation, clarity, and a deeper sense of safety in who you already are.

This week invites you to stand your ground without defensiveness, trust your wholeness, and let yourself be carried into the new season. You are safe, you are miraculous, and you are already enough.

💡 Mantra for the week: “I am here. I belong. I trust myself.”

Plus: a peek into Maiden energy for our Mystic Rising community this September, and a joyful share about the first Shaman School retreat coming at the end of the month.

✨ It’s Giving Mystical | Weekly Tarot for August 22 ✨

This week we step into Virgo season under the Hermit’s lantern and the Eight of Cups comes forward to guide our path.

Virgo energy is everywhere: two new moons across the Virgo spectrum, eclipse season approaching on the Virgo–Pisces axis, and in Mystic Rising we’re about to dive into Maiden energy—also a Virgo archetype. It’s a moment of systems, devotion, and honest clarity, showing us what no longer satisfies and what it takes to step toward deeper alignment.

The Eight of Cups—sometimes called the “baby Hermit card”—reminds us that even when things look good, the soul may ache for more. Not greed, but courage: the willingness to say “I’m here, I want more of this life, and I trust myself enough to walk toward it.”

In this episode, I explore:🌕 How Virgo energy is amplified through the Hermit and the two Virgo new moons.🌑 Why eclipse season is a portal for courage and forward movement.🍷 The Eight of Cups as an invitation to leave “good enough” behind and seek soul-level fulfillment.🔥 The mantra “I’m here”—and how it opens presence, devotion, and brave new beginnings.🌿 What it means to trust your sight, your desires, and the winding path of becoming.

This week is about courage, devotion, and the sacred recklessness of hitting the open road of your soul. The Eight of Cups asks: Where are you ready to walk away from “fine” so you can meet your true joy?

Happy New Moon in Virgo, my loves. 🌕 Be brave. Be devoted. And remember: you’re sovereign, but never alone.

The Hermit Arrives (Unexpectedly)

We’re halfway through August and the energy takes a surprising turn.

The Hermit card has stepped into the spotlight... calling us to quiet the noise, tend to our inner light, and make space for what’s truly ours to do.

This week’s episode explores:
✨ Why the Hermit energy is so potent in a Hermit year
✨ The connection between receiving, nourishment, and vulnerability
✨ Shadow aspects of the Huntress archetype + why hypervigilance, rigidity, and self-reliance can block our growth
✨ The power of patience, limberness, and the “lioness in wait”
✨ How the number 9 invites completion and clean endings

The message is gentle but firm: hush the distractions, focus on what matters, and allow yourself to be surprised by what unfolds.

Pull out your Hermit card, sit with it, and ask: What needs my full attention now? What chapter am I ready to complete so the next one can begin?

🎧 Tune in and let’s walk this path together.

It's giving WILD this week with the Lionsgate, the Aquarius Full Moon and Mercury turning direct...

✨ Welcome to another mystical week ahead! In this episode, we’re diving into the powerful and transformative energies of Lionsgate and the Aquarius Full Moon.

🌟 Lionsgate Portal (8/8):
This celestial moment is potent, with the Sun in Leo and the Sirius star aligning in the sky. We explore the numerological significance of 8/8, representing manifestation, abundance, and cosmic alignment. It’s not about striving or forcing things—it's a time for revelation. Trust that what is meant for you is unfolding in ways that surprise and satisfy you. Reflect on your intentions from earlier in the year and see how they’ve evolved. What’s been revealed to you, and how are you stepping more fully into your power?

🌙 Aquarius Full Moon (8/9):
As the full moon illuminates the sky, it connects us back to December 2020, encouraging a deeper look at how far we’ve come since that time. It’s an opportunity for closure and celebration, as well as a time to evaluate our communities and the people who amplify or drain our energy. We discuss how the Aquarius full moon can open up new possibilities for collaboration and connection, highlighting the importance of surrounding yourself with people who nourish your soul.

🃏 Tarot Insights:
We also pull three cards for the week to help guide us through this powerful period:

• Three of Pentacles: This card highlights the importance of collaboration and community. The right people will elevate your energy and help you bring your vision to life.

• The Sun: A reminder to enjoy the present moment, soak up the joy of life, and expand into the brilliance of your own light.

• Eight of Wands: Momentum is building. What you’ve worked toward is picking up speed, and now it’s time to let things unfold naturally. Trust the flow and embrace what’s coming.

🌱 Protect Your Energy:
As we navigate this potent energy, remember that your body’s wisdom is your guide. Trust your intuition, and be mindful of the spaces and people you engage with. Are they expanding you or shrinking you? This is the perfect week to align with those who reflect your highest vibration.

💫 Final Thoughts:
This week’s energy invites you to relax into the unfolding. Let the universe show you what’s next instead of forcing anything. Allow yourself to receive and enjoy the blessings that are already on their way to you.

May the Lionsgate and Aquarius Full Moon bring you the clarity and power you need to shine bright!

Rest, Receive & Ride the August Currents

In this week’s episode of It’s Giving Mystical, Kirsten invites you into the tender energy of the Six of Swords... an archetype of divine protection, sacred transition, and permission to rest your over-efforting self.

Fresh off a soul-rich, seven-hour (jkjk) August Energy episode (if you haven’t listened yet... go treat yourself), this shorter transmission offers a moment of calm reflection and gentle guidance as we move from July’s intensity (Chariot + Tower) into the dreamy, devotional waters of Strength and the Star. ✨

What if strength wasn’t about gripping, but about being of joyful service?
What if power looked like resting in the arms of the divine?
What if your only job right now… was to not tip the canoe?

This week, we explore:
💫 The Six of Swords as the minor arcana of the Star—a call to receive protection and ease
💫 How to recognize safe passage and let yourself actually be supported
💫 The difference between necessary action vs unnecessary efforting
💫 Why obsessing over the big question ("Should I stay or go?") is often a distraction
💫 A reminder that August is a month of manifestation—so move gently, and let it come to you

Plus:
⚔️ A sneak peek at this month’s Mystic Rising archetype: the Warrior. We’ll be working with the energy of righteous focus, sacred fight, and graceful discipline. Our first call is this Tuesday—join us if you're ready to claim what’s worth protecting.
🌿 And an exciting update: Shaman School is almost full! We may have room for two more beloveds. Reach out if you feel the call to this life-changing journey.

Take this episode as your cosmic permission slip to slow down, receive, and trust the tides. Let August love on you. You’ve earned it.

August Forecast: Devotion, Radiance & the Beauty of Being in a Body... it's giving... wild, soft & divine as the new face of power...

This month on It’s Giving Mystical, we enter the realm of the Strength and Star cards... two of the most exquisite energies in the tarot... and step fully into the spiritual weather of August.

After July’s transformative unraveling (hello Chariot and Tower!), we find ourselves in new terrain. The dry skins have shed, the old armors have cracked, and now we are invited into something softer, truer, and more deeply devotional.

In this expansive episode, Kirsten guides us through:

✨ The sacred alchemy of Strength: meeting your wild, animal self with fierce compassion and radical self-acceptance
✨ The cosmic renewal of The Star: a reminder that you are the beloved of the universe, worthy of rest, love, and divine replenishment
✨ The art of bowing down: what it means to be in joyful devotion to something greater than your ego or old identities
✨ Why August’s Lionsgate portal is a true manifestation vortex and how to anchor your desires in both pleasure and purpose
✨ How to discern the difference between strength that controls and strength that surrenders
✨ A powerful reflection: What would you do if you knew you couldn’t lose love?
✨ A zodiac reading for every sign, featuring intuitive tarot + animal spirit messages

This is your monthly mystical immersion... a soul transmission to remind you that strength can be tender, devotion can be sexy, and the most powerful thing you can do might just be to let your heart crack open.

🌹 Bring your Strength card. Bring your Star card. Bring your willingness to receive more than you thought was possible.

Tune in now, and let August bless you.

Welcome to your mystical roadmap for the week of July 25 — a potent moment of integration following the Leo New Moon.

This episode invites you into a deeper conversation about what it means to be truly devoted to the work of your hands, your emotional truth, and the unseen harmonies of your life. Kirsten unpacks the archetypal medicine of the Queen of Cups, Justice, and the Eight of Pentacles, offering a soul-aligned reminder: You are not ending July the same person you were when it began.

✨ Topics include:

• The Leo New Moon as a private moment of radiance and self-honoring

• Attention farming vs. sacred energy exchange on social media

• Why your devotion to mundane tasks can be the deepest form of spiritual alignment

• The energetics of making space (and how clearing out your garage might just be holy)

• A reminder that the extraordinary is woven through the ordinary — and how to notice it

• A powerful personal story about intuition, embodiment, and reclaiming your light

This week’s message is simple but profound: You know where you need to be. Trust it. And put your beautiful hands to it.

📿 If you've been asking for a sign to clean the clutter, reclaim your creative energy, or finally answer that soul-knocking whisper... this is it.

🌿 Bonus reminder: Enrollment for Shaman School closes July 31! If you’re craving deeper connection to your purpose, community, and sacred ways of seeing the world — now’s the time. We’d love to have you.

This week, Kirsten pulls three cards to track the energy of mid-July — and they’re high voltage:

• ⚡ Knight of Swords: mental spirals + urgency

• 🔥 Page of Wands: creative spark + inspired curiosity

• 🌿 Empress: deep permission + divine timing

Tune in for insights on:
→ How to stay anchored in your power
→ What to do with retrograde revisits + resurfacing ideas
→ Why your mind isn’t the boss this week
→ The slow magic of birthing something that lasts

🌟 “This tiny spark is trying to become a legacy. And the Earth is blessing it.”

🔥 This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we dive deep into the emotional expansion of the 10 of Cups.

July is heating up with passion, power, and a call to step into your authentic authority. But what does that really mean when the world is loud, chaotic, and full of people telling you how to live?

🌕 Fresh from our Full Moon Circle, I explore:

• What it means to stay with yourself in unfamiliar or evolving spaces

• The rollercoaster of self-realization and reentry into relationships and community

• Why discernment is your greatest spiritual tool right now

• How to tell if what you’re consuming is truly nourishing or just beautifully packaged scarcity

• The beauty (and discomfort) of expanding into joy, love, and deep fulfillment

• What to do when life starts giving you what you’ve asked for… and it feels almost too good to be true

💖 This episode is an anchor in a noisy world. Come home to yourself. Listen with your heart. And let the wisdom of the cards illuminate your path forward.

✨ If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, self-trust, or emotional expansion, this one is for you.
