After the Storm: Eclipse Prep, Messy Middles & Big Moves

This week’s astro-Tarot episode is brought to you by the phrase “the work is worth it.” Mercury retrograde is finally over—shadow phase and all—and we’re being thrust into post-cleanout reality with nowhere left to hide. The Virgo new moon and black moon energy from late August cracked open the door, and now it's time to walk all the way through… even if it’s messy.

We’re using the After Tarot deck this week—a powerful visual lens that shows what happens after the traditional Rider Waite scenes. It's the perfect deck for our collective moment of transition, integration, and forward momentum.

This episode gives you the spiritual pep talk and practical frameworks you need to navigate September’s early turbulence, all while prepping for the emotional tectonic shifts of eclipse season. Expect clarity, confirmation, and a solid dose of “let’s get real” business truth.

You’ll hear about:

• Why it’s okay if your progress feels tangled or nonlinear right now
• How to trust the messy middle as a necessary part of embodiment
• The real work behind reverse card energy in all four elemental pillars
• What the After Tarot reveals about moving on and moving forward
• How to apply this week’s energetic themes to your creative or business strategy
