  • Exploration Conversation with Amanda Victoria-- Using Astrology: A Non Professionals Approach to the Cosmos! Forecasting for Family, Business and Yourself

    On this episode of Magic On The Patio, Lauren invites her first Guest Co-Host Amanda Victoria to talk about a Non-Professionals' approach to Astrology. Both women discuss how they both found astrology in their childhoods. How being Sagittarius Suns help them relate to each other and how different they both view their own Sun Sign. They move on to their first Astrologer obsessions... (Susan Miller in the early 2000s). And how testing out Professional Astrologers is okay. Not everyone is the right fit. Just like a Therapist! The deeper the conversation gets we move into which transits hit us the most and how they changed out views on Astrology.

  • Monthly Astro & Tarot Forecast with Lauren & Alyssa: August 2021- Hey Leo! You are the SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE!

    Welcome to our first Magic On The Patio's Monthly Astro & Tarot Tidings Forecast with Lauren Mahana & Alyssa Polinsky! This month we focus on the major Mundane Transits of August 2021. Diving right into Leo Season and the New Moon! Intention setting & manifesting are huge themes for this month! Use that fire energy! Chatting about the Mercury transit into Virgo and Venus in Libra. We get to explore how we will communicate with the world this month. We touch briefly on Uranus RX and how the the collective might start to focus inward.

    Instagram: @starsxbravo @magiconthepatio

    Astrology Mundane Transits August 2021:

    • New Moon in Leo-- 8/8
    • Mercury in Virgo -- 8/12
    • Venus in Libra -- 8/16
    • Uranus in Taurus Retrograde-- 8/19
    • Sun in Virgo --8/22
    • Full Moon in Aquarius -- 8/22
    • Tarot for the Collective: Deck used this Month: The Medicine Woman Tarot by Carole Bridges Theme card for August: 4 of Stones (Pentacles) I thought this was an interesting card to pull for the collective for August, but at the same time we are in the time of Uranus in Taurus and Saturn retrograding back into Aquarius. I have a feeling the collective is taking stock of what abundance means to us as a whole and how to manage to keep security for the individual and the collective. So, how do we use the energy of 4 of Stones? For me it's to take an inventory of what I truly need and what is excess in my life.  Where am I hoarding, what physical items do I need to release, but then at the same time gather items that will help myself and family feel secure. The pandemic has shifted many of our collective thoughts on safety, security and necessity. This is the perfect time of year to reassess these feelings around abundance.Reading for Collective Energy: 3 Card Spread--

      5 of Pipes (Wands) -- Energy to Move Through The Cosmic energy over the last 18 months has been stifling. There have been moments of reprieve, but overall the energy that needs to be integrated and moved through is that of discord. The 5 of Pipes is that miscommunication, struggle of difference of opinion and fighting with tone & voice. The collective has been in this space on and off for a long time, but this energy needs to be integrated and what I mean is ACKNOWLEDGE. What are the root causes of this miscommunication? Discovering your own personal struggle with how you are heard will help move the collective forward. Use the Fire of Leo and Mercury moving into Virgo to do just that!
      The Magician -- Energy to Embrace Personal Power-- Feels fitting for Leo Season- Embrace the tools that you were born with, but those you have acquired over your lifetime. You weld the power to manifest the intention you set. Embrace it!The Empress-- Energy to Look for and forward to What a gorgeous card for moving into Harvest and Virgo Season. Look forward to how you collect your bounty? The work of the Collective Theme card of 4 of Pentacles shows us that we all need to reassess what abundance means… Now that you are working with that energy, look forward to how Empress Energy can fill you with Abundance, Comfort and Home. Embrace the Divine Feminine and fall deeply into their arms. They will always catch you… but if you take the time to acknowledge how that needs to happen for you it happens in a way that is truly Divine

        Who is Lauren Mahana?

        Lauren Mahana is the co-author of Labor Like A Goddess: A Fearless Guide to Preparing for the 7 Gates of Pregnancy and Birth. Also, a  practicing birth doula, intuitive healer, tarot reader, wife, and mother of  two daughters living in Chester, CT.  When Lauren was 16 years old,  she was gifted her first tarot deck; it was the start of a long, winding  journey down a spiritual path. Through most of her late teens and 20s,  Lauren was lost living in NYC; she started and ended many different  paths, from multiple colleges, retail jobs, the restaurant world, and  merchandising, and she began to wonder why nothing seemed to stick.  Lauren then decided to find work that would feed her soul, first and  foremost.

        She began working at a local Brooklyn herb shop which ignited her  spiritual path. While studying herbalism, Reiki, shamanic healing,  flower essences, and essential oils, Lauren realized that her path was  known all along—she was a healer. She first focused on a small herbal  practice and then integrated her practice with Reiki and tarot. After  becoming a mother, she found a calling to help guide other women during  birth. Becoming a birth doula was the perfect cap on the direction of  what has officially become her Intuitive Healing Practice.
        For the past 15 years, Lauren has been exploring, studying, and  practicing to be a well-rounded healer. Her passion comes from her drive  to help heal the wounds of the spirit, so the collective can be transformed. 

        Labor Like A Goddess is available on Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Target
