it's giving mystical

June asked us to let the tower fall. July asks us to rest.

In this first part of the July forecast, we explore the medicine of The Star and The Chariot—two cards that remind us that healing isn't only about effort. Sometimes it's about allowing ourselves to be restored.

This month invites us into a deeper trust: trusting that what isn't unfolding may be just as loving as what is, trusting the currents that are already carrying us, and remembering that the universe may be protecting a future that's even more aligned than the one we've imagined.

Inside this episode we explore:

✨ Why July feels like a month of restoration after June's intensity
✨ The surprising question: Why would I want something the universe doesn't want for me?
✨ The deeper meaning of The Star as nourishment, replenishment and being held
✨ The mystery of The Chariot and the power of effortless movement
✨ Cardinal Cancer energy and emotional leadership
✨ The difference between forcing and magnetizing
✨ Human Design "half channels" and mutually beneficial relationships
✨ Why July favors collaboration over isolation
✨ Condor medicine, wu-wei, and riding the thermal winds instead of exhausting yourself
✨ Making room for wishes to arrive by trusting divine timing

If June rearranged your foundations, July helps you settle into what remains—and discover what wants to grow from there.

✨ Individual zodiac readings will be released separately in Part Two. MERCURY RETROGRADE ;)

This week’s tarot forecast carries us out of June and toward July with the medicine of The Star.

After the intensity of The Tower and the choices of The Lovers, this week feels like an exhale: a moment of replenishment, recovery, and remembering that you are not doing this alone. In this episode, I explore what it means to let your system recalibrate after a season of high voltage, where your energy may be leaking, and how to begin listening for the places that are asking for a reset rather than more effort.

We talk about:

• The Star card as recovery, replenishment, and soul-level restoration
• How Tower energy shows up when there’s more energy moving through your life than your current systems can hold
• The difference between fixing, rerouting, releasing, and simply allowing
• Why this moment may be asking you to look honestly at your resources, energy output, and support
• The invitation to rest, receive, and trust that your wish has been heard
• Masculine lineage, safety, and the surprising ways support can arrive
• Why the end of June and the beginning of July may feel like one continuous energetic threshold

This is a conversation about replenishment after intensity, about the support that exists beneath you even when you can’t quite see it, and about learning to receive what’s already trying to come in.

If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Share it, tag me, or send it to a friend who needs a little reminder that rest is part of the work.

When everything feels like too much, what if the answer isn't doing more but putting something down?

This week, Kirsten explores the energy of the Two of Pentacles reversed, alongside the Devil reversed and Emperor reversed, revealing a collective invitation to stop juggling, stop forcing, and reconsider the stories we're carrying about responsibility, achievement, and control.

If you've been feeling stretched thin, emotionally exhausted, or caught in a cycle of trying to hold everything together, this episode offers a gentler path forward.

Together we explore:

✨ Why overwhelm isn't always about what's on your plate
✨ The hidden stories that make life feel heavier than it is
✨ How unconscious obligations keep us stuck
✨ The spiritual significance of what enters and leaves our lives
✨ Why June is revealing important information about your future path
✨ The difference between peace and the absence of pressure
✨ What happens when you stop trying to keep every ball in the air

This is a conversation about grace, trust, and allowing life to show you what can finally be released.

Cards for the Week:

• Two of Pentacles (Reversed)
• Devil (Reversed)
• Emperor (Reversed)

Something has shifted.

After last week's Death card energy, this week's Nine of Wands invites us into a different relationship with ourselves, our exhaustion, and the stories we've been carrying. What if the collapse wasn't a failure? What if it was simply the completion of a process that no longer needed to continue?

In this episode, we explore the house of cards that has fallen away, the surprising wisdom hidden inside fatigue, and the possibility that life may be asking less of your effort and more of your trust.

We talk about:
✨ Why endings are often invitations rather than losses
✨ The difference between vigilance and true resilience
✨ The "Wounded Warrior" archetype and what it asks of us now
✨ Trusting yourself enough to stay open to possibility
✨ The support, collaboration, and community trying to find you
✨ New Moon in Gemini themes of voice, connection, and curiosity
✨ Why this may not be a battle anymore

The invitation this week is simple:

What if you don't know how this story ends?

And what becomes possible when you stop preparing for disappointment and start making room for surprise?

This week’s tarot card is Death—and despite its reputation, this is not a card of endings for the sake of endings. It’s a card of resurrection.

As we continue moving through the powerful Lovers + Tower energy of June, many of us are feeling both intensely full and strangely empty at the same time. The system is expanding. Old structures are straining. Plans are shifting. Desires are intensifying. And somewhere beneath it all, something new is trying to emerge. 

In this episode, Kirsten explores:

✨ The energetic intensity of June and why flexibility matters now
✨ Saturation, overflow, and expanding your capacity to receive
✨ Why some dreams, habits, and narratives may be collapsing
✨ The Death card as resurrection rather than loss
✨ How "house of cards" structures reveal what is no longer authentic
✨ The alchemical lesson of working with the material actually on the table
✨ Trusting that every detour, distraction, and delay serves a purpose
✨ The possibility that something significant is being reborn this week

The invitation is simple: slow down, stay present, and trust the transformation unfolding beneath the surface.

Life may be changing shape faster than expected—but that doesn't mean you're off the path.

June arrives carrying a powerful invitation: activation.

This month brings together two of tarot's most transformative archetypes—The Lovers and The Tower—creating a potent combination of choice, expansion, awakening, and profound personal growth.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ The deeper meaning of The Lovers card beyond romance
✨ Why June may feel like a crossroads or fork in the road
✨ The spiritual significance of union and individuation
✨ The Tower as a surge of life force, not simply disruption
✨ Wish fulfillment, manifestation, and the question: Are you ready to receive what you've been asking for?
✨ Crown chakra activation, expanded perception, and intuitive awakening
✨ What your body may be trying to communicate right now
✨ How to stay grounded while life asks you to grow

Plus, individual tarot and animal spirit readings for all twelve zodiac signs.

The energy of June suggests that many of us are preparing to receive something we've been calling toward for a long time. The invitation is not simply to wish for it... but to become the version of ourselves capable of holding it.

What if the thing you've been asking for is closer than you think?

The Queen of Swords arrives this week with one message: get clear.

In this episode of the It’s Giving Mystical podcast, we explore the energy moving us out of emotional fog, distraction, fantasy, and indecision — and into radical clarity, truth, and self-authority.

This is a threshold week.
A week for powerful decisions.
A week for cutting through the noise and asking:
What is actually true for me now?

Kirsten unpacks the transition out of the Ace of Wands and Hanged Man energy of May and into the potent frequencies of June: The Lovers and The Tower. Together, these cards point toward major choices, energetic expansion, and the restructuring of systems that can no longer hold who you’re becoming.

This episode explores:

• The Queen of Swords as the archetype of internal authority
• Why clarity can feel both liberating and uncomfortable
• Emotional fantasy vs. aligned truth
• The habits, dynamics, and distractions that may need to end
• Gemini energy, communication, and precision
• Why June’s energy is asking for decisive movement
• The paradox of discipline and ease

If you’ve been craving clarity, direction, or the courage to finally move differently, this episode is for you.

✨ Listen to the end for insight into June’s powerful Lovers + Tower energy and the deep transformations already beginning to unfold.

Something shifts this week.

In this episode of It’s Giving Mystical, we move from the fiery awakening of the Ace of Wands into the deep reversal energy of The Hanged Man — a card of surrender, truth, attunement, and irreversible perspective shifts.

Kirsten explores what happens when the body begins recognizing truth before the mind can explain it. This episode is a meditation on authenticity, desire, discernment, nervous system resonance, and learning to trust the quiet knowing inside yourself.

There’s a strong theme here around reversal:
What can no longer be sacrificed.
What can no longer be desecrated.
What your body simply refuses to abandon anymore.

This conversation weaves together tarot, somatics, embodiment, desire, revolution, Zelda references, truth as resonance, and the strange sacredness of becoming more fully yourself.

✨ Themes explored:

• The Hanged Man tarot meaning
• Reversal, surrender & energetic shifts
• Truth as a somatic experience
• The body recognizing alignment
• Desire, appetite & authenticity
• Why “feeling good” matters spiritually
• Nervous system discernment in relationships
• Sacred embodiment & personal revolution
• Trusting what you know without explaining it

If this episode resonates, share it with someone moving through a major energetic shift.

The Ace of Wands arrives this week like a spark returning to the body. A remembering. A reawakening. A reminder that you are not done yet.

In this episode of It’s Giving Mystical, we move through the energetic arc from the Ten of Wands to the Seven of Wands and into the life-giving warmth of the Ace of Wands — the tarot card of vitality, desire, inspiration, creativity, sensuality, and renewed life force. Kirsten explores what it means to release outdated identities, soften scarcity around joy and love, and open the gates to more aliveness.

This conversation weaves together tarot, embodiment, grief, motherhood, boundaries, desire, nervous system safety, and the deep permission to feel good again.

If something in your life is beginning to awaken… this episode is for you.

✨ Themes explored:

• Taurus New Moon energy & “new beginnings”
• The Ace of Wands as vitality, eros, and inspiration
• Releasing old identities and scarcity thinking
• Boundaries, openness, and safe connection
• Feeling more alive in your body
• Motherhood, grief, tenderness & nervous system regulation
• Why pleasure and aliveness are sacred
• Learning to trust there is more available for you

If this episode resonates, share it with someone walking through their own reawakening.

There’s something fascinating happening collectively right now… a strange nostalgia for the quiet of quarantine, for sourdough and slow mornings and being forced back into ourselves. In this week’s episode of the It's Giving Mystical, we explore what that longing might actually be pointing toward: the body’s pacing, the sacredness of ordinary life, and the deep human need for space to simply be. 

The tarot card for the week ahead is the reversed Seven of Wands — a card of boundaries, energetic space, and the tension between self-protection and connection. This week asks: what happens when you stop fighting so hard to defend your peace and begin trusting the safety you’ve already built? What if the gates could open a little? 

We talk about hypervigilance, nervous system contraction, embodiment, authenticity, and the possibility of letting yourself be seen without abandoning yourself. There’s a softer invitation moving through this week — one that says you don’t need to over-control everything in order to remain safe. You may actually be ready for more connection, more spaciousness, and more ease than you realize. 

✨ In this episode:

• Why people are suddenly nostalgic for lockdown
• The body’s relationship to safety, pacing, and spaciousness
• Reversed Seven of Wands energy for the week ahead
• Hypervigilance vs. grounded boundaries
• Opening the gates to connection without losing yourself
• Somatic awareness and tracking tension in the body
• Letting yourself be fully seen in your uniqueness
• Why “safe” and “connected” no longer need to oppose one another
