✨ October’s Expectant Joy: Sun + Wheel of Fortune Energy ✨

Okay wild ones, October says yes. The Wheel of Fortune is turning, the Sun is rising, and together they whisper: expect the best.

This month carries the medicine of the Alchemist—seeing the gold in the stone, discovering beauty in what is, and daring to imagine that the universe truly wants your joy. We’ll talk about forgiveness as a portal, the Sun’s invitation to receive without shrinking, and what it means to walk through October like magic is waiting around every corner.

You’ll hear the October forecast, an exploration of what it means to lean back into your medicine when the human gets loud, and a sign-by-sign pulse to help you move with clarity, courage, and delight.

✨ Prayer for the month: Surprise me with how good it can get.

✨ Altar note: place a sunflower, a circle, or something golden—let it remind you that the wheel always turns in your favor.

Step into this month with your heart wide, your spirit expectant, and your joy turned all the way up.

✨ It’s Giving Mystical — Week of September 19 ✨

We’ve arrived at the last days of September, standing at the threshold of October. If September felt like a lifetime lived in three weeks—you’re not alone. The Moon card’s dreamlike timing stretched and compressed the month, offering us endings, reckonings, and clarifications. The eclipse energy swept clean what was ready to be released, sometimes gently, often not so gently.

This week’s card is the Knight of Swords—with the King of Swords waiting just beneath him. Together, they invite us into:

✨ Quickening Winds — a passionate surge of ideas, words, and collaborations that move like a fresh breeze through your world.
✨ Impact Matters — noticing how your excitement and truth land for others, and offering your voice as a gift rather than an assault.
✨ Maturing Energy — the Knight’s urgency is ripening into the King’s clarity and steadiness, reminding us that brilliance can be held with softness.
✨ Fluid Boundaries — echoing Maiden energy, this week calls you to notice where your limits have calcified and invite flexibility, curiosity, and play.
✨ Returning to the Body — in unsettled times, your power is here, now—in your breath, in your present moment, in your ability to feel joy and connection.

As we prepare to step into October—with the Sun and the Wheel of Fortune rising on the horizon—this week reminds us that we don’t need to rush. We can savor the conversations, collaborations, and connections that are already arriving.

May you remember your power, soften your edges, and share your words as a blessing.

✨ It’s Giving Mystical — Week of September 19 ✨

Hello beautiful people, it’s me, Kirsten, and this is your podcast for the week... let's talk how to stay grounded in turbulent times.

We’re coming out of Tower Week and moving into the energy of The Fool, reversed.

The message? You’re about to begin something new—but not quite yet. This is a holding pattern, a pause before the leap.

This week invites you to:
🌱 Return to your body as sacred ground when the world feels chaotic.
🌀 Resist the pull of panic and reactivity—and remember the quiet strength of your breath.
✨ Tend to the practical magic of Virgo season: clean up, clear out, finish what’s unfinished.
🔥 Approach sensuality as devotion, a way of grounding power and pleasure in your daily life.

The Fool reversed reminds us: don’t rush the journey. Prepare yourself. Set your foundation. Trust the pause.

As eclipse season stirs the waters, your body, your choices, your small daily intentions matter more than you know. This is where your true power lives.

✨ It's Giving Mystical | Weekly Tarot for September 12th ✨

This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we’re deep in the eclipse portal—and the Tower card has arrived. Don’t panic, beloveds. The Tower is here as a wake-up call, asking us to shake loose what no longer serves and to step into more freedom, vitality, and truth.

Together we explore:
🌑 The eclipse as a teacher in small, precious choices—and why even the tiniest pause or “not yet” can change everything.
⚡ A personal story of pausing instead of bypassing, and the liberation that followed.
🔥 The Tower as a dismantling of old ego structures that limit what we can receive and express.
🌀 The energetic reality of egregores—collective thought-forms that feed on our attention—and how eclipse season asks us to choose consciously where our energy flows.
🌙 September’s Hermit and Moon archetypes as cloaks of protection and wisdom during this season of dismantling and rebirth.
👵 The call to grandmother wisdom and ancestral scaffolding as we navigate the shake-ups of change.

The Tower can feel destabilizing, yes. But it is also the lightning strike of liberation, the reminder that you are bigger than the walls you’ve built. Eclipse season is recalibrating us—choice by choice, breath by breath—so we can live more fully, more authentically, and more beautifully aligned with love.

Tune in and let’s walk through the fire together. Aho. ✨

✨ It's Giving Mystical | Weekly Tarot for September 5th ✨

The Pisces Full Moon Eclipse (Sept 7) brings waves of tenderness, choice, and transformation.

💡 Mantra for the week: “I wait for the choice that feels like a full-body yes.”

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.

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 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.

✨ 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!
