Musings with Mary

Let's talk about the Strength card and it's connection to Leo energy! Shoutout to all you Leos out there! In this episode we explore the traditional meaning of the Strength card and the symbolism present within the Rider-Waite-Smith illustration. I finish off with my personal reflection on the Strength card, and encourage you all to build you own personal connection with this very pertinent card for this year of 2025 we are living in.

We just entered into a new 7 year cycle with Uranus earlier this week on 7/7 as the planet of chaos and innovation moved into the Mercurial sign of Gemini. On this Capricorn Full moon, I felt inclined to look forward to the next 7 years to visualize where I see myself, and the rest of the world in the future. The future that I hope to build by 2032, 7 years from now. I know the road will not be easy- but I hope that you can take a moment to hope for better with me today.

This week, we dive into the esoteric symbolism within The Chariot card. The Chariot is number 7 in the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck- and it corresponds to the zodiac sign of Cancer. So what better time to investigate this card than now (in Cancer season!) We discover the ways in which watery Cancer is present within this fiery card, by looking at the symbols present in Pamela Coleman Smith's artwork.

This has been a long time coming. Let's not perpetuate the "love and light" forms of spirituality by ignoring the injustice that is all around us here in the US. This week, I talk about what you can do to help us turn this country around from the hate that has taken over. Fascism is at our doorstep- and it is not asking to be let in- it is actively busting the door down. It's time for us to get our boots on, and find ways to push back. Silence is compliance- even the smallest actions can still help the resistance! Be brave. I believe in you.

It's your turn, Gemini! :) Listen to this episode to hear my take on the social butterfly of the zodiac. Let's talk about the good, bad and the ugly of this mutable air sign. I express my deep love for the mercurial Gemini, while also touching on some of their more stereotypical tropes that we see in popular astrology. If you or a loved one has been affected by a Gemini, you may or may not qualify for a little more sarcasm in your life. Oop! 

A mini episode this week! I started off this week with a fun (not) visit from a stomach bug which put me out for the count for a few days, so I'm taking this Friday to catch up with some work and update you guys with what I'm planning on moving forward. We talk about piano stuff, tarot stuff, lots of stuff! thanks for listening. I'll be back next week with a full episode.

This idea came to me in a dream... okay, not really, but I thought it would be cute! The Gemini vibes are flowing, and this lil Gemini Sun has her birthday this weekend. So I thought I'd write out a list of 33 things I've learned in my 33 trips around the sun. :) Some of them serious, others a bit silly... in true Gemini fashion, I can't talk about a bunch of serious things without a little sarcasm mixed in! Hope you enjoy this episode, happy birthday to all the other Geminis out there.

Let's talk about The Lovers card! This is the Major Arcana card associated with Gemini within the Tarot deck, so naturally- as a Gemini Sun, I am SO ready to yap about it's deeper meanings! Come with me as we discuss the relational and personal meanings of The Lovers card, through the illusion of the binary. Hold my metaphorical beer as I preach about the union of our right (creative) and left (analytical) brain. :P
