Happy New Moon in Pisces, loves! 

On today’s episode of the podcast, we dive into all of this wild Pisces energy, and deepen our exploration of the four pillars of Soul Tarot by considering that all cards (even the "bad" or "negative" ones) bring medicine. Plus, I share a recent experience I had where I pulled some cards that didn't match my inner experience (and how I navigated it), and answer a listener’s question about what to do when "positive" cards show up in a reading as what we are releasing. 

Plus: Rewilding the Tarot is officially open for enrollment! 

156. Soul Tarot 101: Tarot as Medicine

Hosted by Lindsay Mack, Tarot for the Wild Soul explores the cards through an inclusive, non-predictive, trauma informed perspective, rooted in compassion, common sense, and critical thinking. With over seven million downloads (and counting), T-WS Podcast is your top source for unique and insightful Tarot lessons, explorations into the cards, and monthly channeled downloads.

Whew, this month is a doozy! April roots us fully and firmly into the heart of Aries season on the wings of an Eclipse season and Mercury stationing retrograde. 
Our theme for the month of April is Declining the Invitation. We're not saying no to everything, or bypassing what matters. We're being invited into a space of deep reflection and review this month (hello Merc Rx & Eclipse szn), and as such, we cannot afford to put anything extra on our plate -- including unhelpful stories, untrue narratives, or pursuing stuff that's either a no or a not right now. Trusting in ourselves and the unfolding of things, as well as being extremely gentle with ourselves, is the order of the month ahead. 


Our Soul Tarot Reading for April
Card for the month ahead: The Lovers
How the month will feel to us: Three of Swords
How can we marry these two things together?: The Tethered One
Deepest lesson of the month ahead: The Hermit
What we’re being invited to pay attention to most: Six of Pentacles
An Aligned Action to take: Four of Cups
What we’re being invited to make space for and welcome in: Seven of Wands

258. MONTHLY MEDICINE: April is Declining the Invitation

Welcome to a new Monthly Medicine, loves! 
March always represents a powerful turning point on the wheel of the year, as it is the gateway into which we exit Pisces season (and all that that previous cycle represented and held for us) and enter a new astrological year on the wings of Aries season. Between that threshold and our first Eclipse of 2024, this March is shaping up to be quite momentous. 
Our theme for the month of March is Fullness. We're being invited to explore a few things around that theme: 1. the "fullness," zenith, or completion point of this cycle we've been in, and allowing that to be a jumping off point for deeper reflection about what we want to grow and foster on the other side, and 2. how to open to a greater sense of fullness and fulfillment around our own well being this month and beyond. 
Our Soul Tarot Reading for March
Card for the month ahead: Queen of Pentacles
How the month will feel to us: The Magician
How can we marry these two cards together?: Ace of Wands
Deepest lesson of the month ahead: Nine of Swords
What we’re being invited to pay attention to most: King of Swords
An aligned action to take: The High Priestess
What we’re being invited to make space for and welcome in: The Emperor

Rewilding the Tarot FAQ!

Today on the podcast we dive into two beautiful questions sent in to us by listeners: how can we trust in, and surrender to deep healing with The Star card when we have trauma around rest, and how can we square receiving Ten of Cups during a period of deep loneliness?

256: Reclaiming Rest + Ten of Cups in a lonely season

Happy Imbolc/Lughnasadh, loves! 
Our theme for the month of February is Warming. Things are beginning to warm, quicken, and stir this month. Indeed, much of the 8/Strength energy that we're going to be cycling through in 2024 is starting to come online. The seeds we've been sowing are coming to fruit, and we're opening to some newfound excitement and fresh energy in February. Our work will be to hold ourselves with gentleness and compassion through the expansions and contractions of the cycle ahead -- to root into our most restorative practices, and open to the supports (both internal and external) that feel the most accessible to us. 
Our Soul Tarot Reading for February
Card for the month ahead: The High Priestess
How will this quickening of the pace feel: Death
Deepest lesson of the month ahead: Nine of Swords
What’s asking for our attention most: Nine of Cups
What’s being cleared out: Seven of Cups
What’s cycling in: Knight of Wands
