This Wyrd World

As we enter August I, Tansy Baigent,  am joined once again by Astrologer Amanda Simon to discuss some of the energetic frequencies of the month as we enter Leo and meet with the Strength card from the Tarot.

In sync with the playfulness that this time can bring Amanda and I came together for this one in the pure joy of creating and conversing and in that we are not trying to capture but conjure the experience of Leo and Strength within you.

A conversational exploration of July, through its' placement in terms of Astrology and Tarot by drawing out the themes of Cancer and The Chariot as we experience them from within their month/season.

Our programme 'Enchanting Fortuna' is all about following the cycles of the seasons and this year 2021  we are exploring the Astrological signs and Tarot archetypes that bring the atmosphere and energy to each month, each season, as we live them.

These podcast episodes are a way of beginning the discussion and sharing monthly insights.

If you would like to learn more about Enchanting Fortuna, join our monthly class to go deeper into the themes of the Tarot and Astrology or to get in touch then visit us at:

This episode features THIS WYRD WORLD creator Tansy Baigent and her co-creator of Enchanting Fortuna, Amanda Simon.

The songs included are 'Agua del Amor' by Ayla Schafer

And 'By The Sea' by Anna Phoebe

In this episode host, Tansy Baigent reconnects with Amanda Simon to explore and discuss our move into June and the energies of Gemini. This episode forms part of an ongoing exploration of the energies we experience as the sun moves through each month and zodiacal sign. 

In this June episode we are exploring the micro and macro feelings of Gemini (Astrology) and The Lovers (tarot) to help to recognise what is at play in the atmosphere of this month (other transiting planets aside).

There's personal anecdotes, a little politics and lots of play around the feelings of the sun making it's way through Gemini, and June, towards it's highest point and longest day on the 21st June.

We encourage you to let go of pre-conceived ideas and just let the conversation flow through you and look for examples of how the energies of the month may be showing up in your life.

In this episode podcast host, Tansy Baigent, is once again speaking with Astrologer Amanda Simon about the themes and energetic threads of this month, May, as they are seen and felt in the context of its' astrological sign, Taurus, and it's associated Tarot cards, The Hierophant and The Empress (Venus). 

Amanda and Tansy return to discuss how we all may be feeling as we live through the month, how we can find a sense of placement as we come to recognise what energies are affecting us at this time. We play with themes of nourishment, nurture, upheaval, value, and (real and perceived) deprivation. We also ask of you what type of bull are you when you are suddenly contained and when the gates finally reopen.

This is our first in-person conversation, we hope you enjoy it.

To venture deeper into the material we speak of why not consider purchasing our class on Taurus, The Hierophant and The Empress, where we creatively take you deeper into the archetypes. Or consider becoming a patron?

It would be impossible to be unaware of the trials of the past year and the tangible weight of that experience upon all of our shoulders, in different ways of course, but everyone has felt the impact. And as we move into Spring, with the sun rising higher each day there is a feeling of force emerging both outside and within. This force is entwined with the energy of the sign which rules over this month (April), and that is Aries. And in Astrology the zodiacal calendar begins here. Aries leads the procession of zodiacal creatures.

In this episode Amanda Simon and I return to our place in front of the microphone to discuss how it has felt to carry the energy of the new zodiacal year, and the passions and pursuits and in equal amounts to hold the exhaustion and the grief.

We hope you enjoy this exploration of Aries and The Emperor and their effects upon us at this time.

The music in this Episode was:

 - The Gravel Road (Score) by James Newton Howards

 - Hold Your Head Up High by Darlingside

I highly recommend them both.

As we enter March, we may feel ourselves pulled into the depths of our internal ocean, a stirring of the waters of our sensitivities, washed with waves of emotion. This is Pisces.

In this Episode Amanda and I are once again together offering insight into our journey through the energies of Pisces as we have been experiencing them since the sun moved into this sign, as well as the connection to The Moon archetype within the Tarot.

I am also introducing you all to yoga guide/teacher Georgie Crickmere who is offering a beautiful Pisces-inspired yin yoga class (recorded) to help you to embody the energies of this month.

There is no need to have knowledge of the Tarot or Astrology to listen to this show, it is a chance to dip your toe in and explore how the patterns or themes we discuss may be showing up for you in your life. It is about enriching our experience of life and perhaps opening ourselves to new ways of seeing the World.

In this episode I am speaking with Amanda Simon,  professional Astrologer, dear friend and co-creator of our continuing year-tracking programme: Enchanting Fortuna who offer's beautiful insight around what atmosphere is at play and how to work within it.

Join Wendy Black, Oliver Jenkin  and me, Tansy Baigent, as we look back on 2020 and discuss what we have learnt.  As healing practitioners we offer a trinity of perspectives from our side of the healing dynamic and bring perspectives of embodiment, spirit, sanctuary and ceremony into the mix.

Wendy, Oliver and I will be holding an online 'sanctuary' and celebratory ceremony of the last full moon of the year on the 30th December 2020 at 8pm (UK), tickets are just £5 and we would love to invite you to join us - tickets can be booked here.

People have, for millenia, gathered under the light of the full moon to share a time of ritual, prayer, and appreciation. For many it was at the heart of their community/their tribe. We want to create something similar, a ceremony for this time, coming together as a community, and a sanctuary for connection. Through a variety of practises from meditation and prayer to crystal singing bowl soundbath and chanting we will be drawing you into a state of deep relaxation and open awareness. We will weave in threads of tarot and astrology to lay some context over what we are experiencing, how to work with the energies, and how to release the past and move into the new year with refreshed conviction and confidence. It has been a year of deep uncertainty and turbulence and this will be a time to sink in to ceremony, to be washed over by wellness, and opening to wisdom, to peace and to inner transformation. 

This is a collaborative event uniting the work and modalities of healing practitioners Tansy Baigent, Ollie and Wendy Black. 

If you would like to contact Wendy directly she can be found on Facebook as Ananda Rising 

If you would like to contact Oliver directly he can be found on Facebook through Sol Energies or on his website: https://www.solenergies.co.uk/
