it's giving mystical

This month feels big. Like… quietly revolutionary.

We’re working with the energy of the The Hierophant and The Devil—two archetypes that, on the surface, couldn’t be more opposite. One represents the sacred, the institutional, the “this is the way.” The other holds the body, desire, instinct, the things we’ve been taught to question or even reject.

But what I’m seeing for May is something different.

These energies are inverting.

What we’ve been told is sacred… may not be.
What we’ve dismissed as profane… might actually be where the life is.

There’s something here about holding opposites—really holding them—without rushing to resolve them. And in that tension, something begins to shift. Something new emerges. A deeper truth, maybe. Or just a more honest one.

This shows up collectively—in our relationship to institutions, authority, and what we’ve trusted without question. And it shows up personally—in our bodies, our desires, our choices, and the quiet ways we’ve outsourced our own knowing.

One of the strongest threads this month is the body.

Not as something to manage or override, but as something sacred. Intelligent. In conversation with you at all times. There’s an invitation here to listen differently—to let your body lead, even when it contradicts what you’ve been taught you “should” want or do.

This might also bring up questions around desire.
What you actually want… versus what you learned to want.
And whether those are even the same thing.

There’s a kind of unraveling happening.
But it doesn’t feel destructive—it feels like truth.

Like something that’s been upside down for a long time finally turning right side up.

So for May, the practice is simple (but not easy):
Stay with the tension.
Get curious about what you believe is sacred—and why.
And most importantly, listen to your body.

It knows.

Zodiac readings begin about two-thirds of the way through for each sign.

This week’s energy is a powerful threshold moment... moving out of April and into May, from mid-spring into the beginning of summer, and into a deeply transformative energetic shift.

We’re working with the 10 of Wands, and the message is clear:
you are being asked to release what you’ve been holding onto… even if it once felt good.

This is a week of noticing where you are gripping, carrying, or over-identifying with something that has already completed its cycle. Old inspirations, past versions of yourself, relationships, identities, creative expressions; anything you’re holding because it once lit you up.

The truth?
Not everything that was once alive is meant to be carried forward.

In this episode, we explore:

• The deeper meaning of the 10 of Wands and why “too much” shows up
• How attachment to past passion, identity, or success creates energetic stagnation
• The difference between honoring something vs. holding onto it
• Why desire is a portal (not a destination)
• How following your aliveness shifts your entire trajectory
• The courage it takes to trust that letting go creates space for something new
• Reframing “burden” vs. conscious choice in your life

This is a week to loosen your grip, trust the unfolding, and follow what feels alive now.

You are not here to carry your life.
You are here to move with it.

✨ Work with me:

• Mystic Rising (now moving into the Mother archetype)
• Private sessions opening in May
• Shaman School (next cohort coming)

This is a special (and very fun) unedited episode of It’s Giving Mystical... recorded on Take Your Child to Work Day with a very special guest: my daughter, Lilah.

Together, we pull cards for the younger generation... looking at what’s unfolding this week for Gen Z, especially around big decisions, truth coming to light, and the pressure of choosing what’s next.

The energy of Judgment leads the conversation, bringing themes of revelation, honesty, and moments you can’t unsee. This is about truth surfacing personally, socially, and collectively and what it means to move forward once it does.

We also explore:
the emotional weight of college decisions and “no turning back” moments
how judgment, both internal and external, shapes this time of life
the reality of uncertainty, loneliness, and change (and why it’s actually part of the path)
why no decision is final, and everything continues to evolve

With a few bonus pulls on prom, graduation, and what’s ahead, this episode is equal parts insight, humor, and real conversation across generations.

There’s something deeply honest here about growing up, making choices, and learning to trust yourself even when you don’t have all the answers.

Listen to this episode when you need:
– clarity around a big decision
– reassurance that uncertainty is part of the process
– perspective on judgment and outside opinions
– a reminder that nothing is as fixed as it feels

Let this one be light, real, and a little bit revealing.

Feeling stuck, frustrated, or like nothing is moving? This week’s tarot message explains why and what’s actually unfolding beneath the surface.

This episode is a deep dive into the Four of Cups and the subtle but powerful shift from stagnation into movement. We explore the collapse of external authority and the return to your own internal knowing... your body as your compass, your truth as your guide.

There’s something here about emotional looping… about looking at the same situation, the same options, the same story, and trying to force clarity. But the invitation this week is to soften. To release the grip. To let yourself feel what’s present without needing to resolve it immediately.

Because what if you’re not stuck?

What if something is actually moving, just not in the way you expected?

With the Four of Cups appearing in reverse, there’s a quiet opening. A sense that something that has felt stagnant is beginning to shift. That the ache, the longing, the confusion… is finding its way back into flow.

This episode also touches on the importance of trusting your body over polished language; how something can sound “right” but feel off, and how your system is always reading the deeper truth. Your authority lives there.

And beneath all of it, a reminder: you were never abandoned in the waiting. There is movement happening. There is something being prepared. And you are allowed to meet it without force, without urgency...just presence.

Let this be a week where you feel what’s true without attaching to outcome… and trust that what’s meant for you is already on its way.

And PS sorry for the long pauses, my house and dogs were wild during this recording! ;-)

This week brings a subtle but powerful shift.

With Mars now direct, something in your body is waking back up—your energy, your clarity, your sense of direction. And paired with the Ace of Pentacles, we’re stepping into a moment of receiving… but not in the way you might expect.

This isn’t the full picture.
This is the seed.

In this episode, we explore how to recognize and honor what’s being placed in your hands right now—even if it feels incomplete, unexpected, or slightly unclear.

Because something is taking shape.

And your only job?
Stay with what’s here.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• What Mars direct in Aries is reactivating in your body and life
• The energy of the Ace of Pentacles as a living seed (not a finished outcome)
• Why “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” is the message of the moment
• How to work with desire without rushing ahead or forcing certainty
• The power of “next right step” instead of needing the full path
• Why the subplots of your life hold the real gold right now

There’s something here for you.
Even if you don’t fully understand it yet.

Let it be simple.
Let it be enough.
Let it grow.

This week’s energy brings fast movement, powerful communication, and a surprising amount of misinterpretation—and that’s not a problem, it’s part of the medicine.

We’re in an Eight of Wands week, where things are in motion, messages are flying, and energy is building… but what’s landing isn’t always what was sent.

This episode explores:

• Why communication is inherently imperfect (and why that’s actually beautiful)
• The difference between headline moments vs. quiet, soul-level victories
• How to navigate multiple layers of perception without losing yourself
• The tension between potential vs. reality (and where we get stuck)
• What it means to release control after you’ve expressed yourself
• How to stay open, grounded, and discerning in fast-moving dynamics

There’s something really alive here—connection, momentum, possibility—but only if you’re willing to:
feel more, react less, and let things fully land before deciding what they mean.

This is a week to:
✨ Speak—even if it’s imperfect
✨ Listen—beyond just the words
✨ Let go—of controlling how you’re received
✨ Notice—what actually feels meaningful (not just what looks important)

There is something deeply human, messy, and beautiful unfolding right now.

And it’s worth participating in.

This week carries a strange mix of momentum and miscommunication. Even with everything technically moving forward, things may feel… off. Messages missed. Meaning lost in translation. Energy slightly scrambled.

And instead of rushing to fix it or assuming the worst, there’s an invitation here:
slow down, soften, and give people (and yourself) the benefit of the doubt.

Because underneath the noise, something deeper is happening.

The Six of Wands arrives as a “victory” card—but not in the way we usually think. This isn’t loud, obvious, celebratory success. This is quieter. Subtler. A rearranging. A recalibration.

This week asks:

• What does winning actually feel like to you?
• And at what cost have you been taught to achieve it?

There’s a difference between external victory… and internal alignment.

You may notice:

• Conversations that feel slightly misaligned, but meaningful
• People trying to connect, even if it’s imperfect
• Moments of clarity around your boundaries and capacity
• A deeper awareness of what actually feels good vs. what looks good

The real invitation this week is to pay attention to the subplots—
the quieter moments, the felt sense, the spaces where you feel nourished, connected, and alive.

That’s your compass. That’s your version of success.

And if something feels unclear or uncertain?
Pause. Don’t force it. Don’t invite it in just yet.

There is so much support right now for building a life that genuinely feels good to live.
Not impressive. Not performative.
True. Aligned. Alive.

Let this week be about noticing what that feels like—and choosing more of it.

April arrives with a powerful invitation:
to slow down, take stock, and choose alignment over urgency.

This is a month where the material world (Emperor) meets the mystical (Temperance)… where structure and surrender begin to speak to each other—even if they don’t fully understand one another yet.

If you’ve been feeling pressure, overwhelm, or like something is shifting beneath the surface… you’re not wrong. This episode explores how April’s energy is asking you to clarify your yes, honor your no, and trust the transformation happening within you—even if you can’t yet explain it.

We move through:

• The deeper meaning of alignment in 2026 (and why it may not feel easy)
• The Emperor’s call to boundaries, responsibility, and clean energy
• The Temperance card as alchemy, patience, and unseen transformation
• Why this is not the month to rush or fill space
• How your inner work is beginning to show up in real, tangible ways
• The energetic shift from doing → being → becoming

There is something changing in you.
Something refining. Something reorganizing your relationship to your life.

And April asks you to trust it.

We close with intuitive tarot + oracle readings for each zodiac sign.

Key Themes This Month
Alignment • Boundaries • Alchemy • Patience • Integrity • Sensual Presence • Inner Transformation

A reminder for April:
You don’t need to add more.
You don’t need to force clarity.
You don’t need to rush what is still becoming.

Let the shift happen.
Let yourself meet your life… as someone new.

This week’s tarot reading points to the Two of Pentacles—a moment of overwhelm, resource management, and the strange, disorienting feeling of doing everything… and still not quite landing anywhere.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, emotionally dry, or like you can’t quite “catch up” with your life—this episode names that energy clearly.

There’s a deeper invitation here around self-reliance vs. isolation, learning how to hold your world without carrying it alone, and noticing where your energy is being overextended.

This isn’t chaos. It’s not collapse.
But it is a kind of pressure… a quiet, persistent weight asking you to rebalance.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Two of Pentacles and why this week feels like a treadmill you can’t step off
• The emotional tone of disconnection, depletion, and subtle loneliness
• How hyper-independence and “handling it all” might be draining you
• Why this energy can feel dry, uninspired, and stripped of magic
• A gentle reframe: this is a reorganization of your resources, not a failure
• How to soften the weight—through nature, presence, and small moments of relief

This week may not feel expansive… but it is clarifying.

And what you learn here—about your energy, your limits, and your balance—will change how you move forward.

You’re not stuck.
You’re recalibrating.
