In this episode, we discuss the six particular tarot archetypes of the Major Arcana which, in my opinion, are crucial teachers, supporters, and experiences for any social justice movement. We discuss tarot as a tool for embodiment and manifesting change with our immediate actions (as opposed to just a tool for divination), and then discuss each of these cards, both generally and more specifically as they relate to social and collective change.

Happy eclipse season! This week’s episode is an informed discussion on the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius on Friday, June 5th — the first of a series of 3. In this episode we dive into the invitations and vibes to generally expect and where we can put our time, energy, focus and attention to work with this lunar moment in an empowered, productive and informed way.

In this episode, we discuss this weekend’s New Moon in Gemini, exploring the energetic themes, recommended spellwork and focus points of this moon cycle as well as the crystals I recommend and a little bit about the Knight of Wands, the card I pulled for us for the next four weeks as the lesson and medicine of this new moon.

In this episode, we discuss the rising sign (ascendant) of natal astrology, exploring both what it is and how it differs from/relates to the sun sign and the rest of the chart to shape your astrological personality. We then go through each rising sign one-by-one, improving your understanding of yourself and the people in your life. Send questions or feedback to: [email protected]

In this episode, intended particularly for those with minimal understanding of astrology beyond the sun sign, we talk about the moon, sun and rising signs — what they are, what they indicate, how they express themselves, how they interact with and differ from one another, and why its important to consider them all carefully and within the context of eachother to offer a complete and holistic astrological picture. If you’re familiar with your sun sign, as mostly everyone is, this short episode will support you in exploring yourself and your personal astrological DNA more deeply, introducing you to the two other, equally significant archetypes which significantly color the sun sign to provide a more accurate glimpse into your fundamental nature and to form an approachable basis for further understanding of your complex and personal chart.
