Pick a color and don't overthink it. Red, green, or blue turns into a three-card tarot pull that feels uncomfortably specific, not because the cards are magic, but because you are paying attention. I start with a blunt pep talk about self-belief and the fear of your own power, then move straight into a tarot reading format that gives you something rare in the self-improvement world: a clear prompt to act, not just reflect.For Group A, we talk about the spark of a new project and why execution beats inspiration every time, plus the underrated skill of finding the right partner and letting go of lone-genius mythology. Group B brings the heavy machinery: Wheel of Fortune, Death, and Judgment as a map for real life transitions, endings, and the moment you finally decide what you're doing next. Group C is the anxiety arc, moving from the Magician's agency to the Nine of Swords, then landing on the Knight of Pentacles as the only dependable exit plan: routine, patience, and follow-through.Then the episode opens up into avant-garde personal development storytelling: a glamorous oracle monologue about walking into obvious trouble with perfect outfit choices, a noir motel confession about desire and consequences, and a sharp rant about rumors, identity, and refusing to be emotionally reactive. We also get into meditation as a non-negotiable mental skill, plus the strange realities of writing online, search terms, and how a “data void” can turn vulnerability into impact.If you like tarot, meditation, personal development, and narrative audio that takes risks, press play, subscribe, and share it with a friend who needs a wake-up call.

Episode DescriptionAugust continues the themes of presence, attention, work, and dedication brought into focus last month; this time, however, we're feeling less self-conscious, directly immersing ourselves in the busy complexity of the Ten of Pentacles. In doing so, we're accessing new layers of peace and healing, including some surprising insights and epiphanies, as we practice embodying The Star. We might be tempted, though, to tip a little too far into reverie, fantasy, and wishful thinking as the Seven of Cups tempts us to distract ourselves from the realness in front of us, whether as an escape or act of self-protection. The Three of Wands is our opportunity card, a direct next step from our opportunity last month, the Two of Wands. So we're gifted with some linear growth! How exciting. Note where you're secretly committing to budding projects, plans, and self-directed visions for the future. We can enjoy this time in-between vision and structure by exploring, experimenting, and remaining open to inspiration. This is a public episode.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for August. They discuss Chiron stationing retrograde, amplifying themes around Chiron's signature wounded healer archetype. They advocate for extra doses of self-care and compassion given our “ouch spots” may be triggered. They talk about the August Eclipses: the Leo Solar Eclipse and the Virgo Lunar Eclipse, and how it's helpful to embrace not-knowing and staying flexible as clarity is often eclipsed during this time. They explore the Lunar Nodes shifting into the Aquarius and Leo polarity, joining the outer planets now also residing in air and fire signs; with this, they note that while we're focused on ideas and inspiration, that it's still important to find sources of groundedness (earth) and emotional fluency (water) in our lives. They talk about the Minor Triangle being joined by Venus and Mercury mid-month, and how this turns the spotlight towards our relationships and communication. Stephanie chooses the tarot card for the month at random, the Six of Pentacles, and Megan explains how this card representing generosity and balanced-giving beautifully mirrors many of the astrological themes for the month.

Leo Season Cosmic Energy Report | July 22 - Aug 22 2026  Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs. Leo Season: Barbault's Basket, the rare planetary alignment astrologer André Barbault called a potential turning point for humanity plus the August 12th total solar eclipse, Jupiter vs. Pluto, and why this might be the boldest astrological window in decades. Emily and Andrea check in after a heavy, introspective season of wildfires, global unrest, and a Cancer Mercury retrograde and share a big update: Emily's podcast is rebranding to The Emily and Her Stars Podcast as it hits its 5-year anniversary. Then they dig into Leo season, the North Node's shift into Aquarius, and how Andrea's tarot pulls, from the Nine of Wands to the King of Pentacles, echo one consistent message: stop waiting for permission and trust what you've built. In this episode: What is Barbault's Basket, and why astrologers are calling it a generational turning point Jupiter in Leo vs. Pluto in Aquarius The August 12th total solar eclipse and North Node shift into Aquarius Tarot pulls for Leo season: Nine of Wands, Seven of Cups, Ace of Cups, King of Pentacles A look ahead to Virgo season 00:00 – Welcome + Podcast Rebrand Announcement 01:09 – Why This Astrology/Tarot Collab Works 02:08 – Cancer Season Check-In 04:41 – Liminal Space & Integration 09:21 – What Leo Season Means in 2026 16:04 – Nine of Wands Tarot Meaning 20:06 – Barbault's Basket Explained 27:02 – Nine of Cups: Wish Fulfillment 32:26 – North Node Shift & Full Moon 39:58 – Seven of Wands: August Tarot Pull 47:05 – Early August Astrology & Healing 50:41 – Reset and Reimagine 51:28 – Feel the Future 53:28 – Seven of Cups: Making Choices 59:31 – Mercury in Leo: Boldness 01:03:10 – Solar Eclipse & Ace of Cups 01:09:32 – King of Pentacles: Grounding 01:15:31 – Build the Framework 01:20:30 – Virgo Season Preview 01:23:01 – Collective Shifts & Politics 01:33:39 – Offers & Community Updates 01:40:23 – Final Leo Season Sendoff A Creative's Journal: https://www.catherineleighmccallum.com/   Connect with Emily Bookings & Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://emilyandherstars.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Instagram & Threads: @emilyandherstars

Leo Season 2026: Barbault's Basket, Nodal Shift & Eclipse Messages (Tarot + Astrology) This episode finds Emily and Andrea checking in during a season that's felt heavy for a lot of people. Wildfires, global unrest, and an unusually introspective Mercury retrograde in Cancer, have had everyone doing more integrating than mingling. Rather than the typical summer of parties, beach days, and socializing, the hosts share that they have been experiencing some significant perspective shifts on how to move forward with their work. As the fifth anniversary of her podcast approaches, Emily has decided that it will be renamed The Emily and Her Stars Podcast to simplify branding, while continuing monthly joint tarot-and-astrology episodes with Andrea. This is one small but meaningful act that aligns with the messages around making choices based on what is best for you. The cosmic centerpiece of the conversation is Leo season and what may be one of the most charged astrological windows in decades, Barbault's Basket. Emily talks about how this is a rare alignment of outer planets that astrologer André Barbault identified as a potential turning point for humanity. With Jupiter in Leo facing off against Pluto in Aquarius, a total solar eclipse on August 12th, and the North Node shifting into Aquarius for the next year and a half, the hosts see this as a genuine threshold moment. The repetition in Andrea's tarot cards echo the message throughout, starting with the Nine of Wands reminding us to stand tall as we near a change, and closing with the confident mastery of the King of Pentacles. The throughline from both astrology and cards is remarkably consistent - stop waiting for permission, trust what you've been building, and take the leap while the energy is finally at your back!

In this episode of The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I ask: What actually deserves our emotional investment?This question, inspired by pulling the Ace of Cups and King of Cups, became the starting point for this episode and a much deeper exploration of why we emotionally invest in certain people, relationships, friendships, jobs, and family dynamics even when those investments leave us feeling depleted.Drawing from psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and Parts Work, I explore why we unconsciously recreate familiar emotional patterns - often hoping that this time we'll finally receive the love, validation, consistency, or emotional safety we didn't receive before. Unfortunately, those old wounds can keep us emotionally invested in relationships that repeatedly fail to meet our needs.In this episode, I take you on an emotionally invested journey into:Why we unconsciously invest in emotionally unavailable peopleThe connection between attachment, emotional investment, and relationship patternsHow the King of Cups reflects emotional maturity, identity, and healthy boundariesWhy leaving painful relationships often feels like losing part of ourselvesThe psychology behind the sunken cost fallacy and why it keeps us stuckHow intermittent reinforcement strengthens unhealthy emotional attachmentsWhy seeing an ex-partner become emotionally available can feel so devastatingThe difference between loving someone and organizing your identity around them I also pull a three-card therapeutic tarot spread (below) to explore the parts of ourselves that remain emotionally invested even after a relationship has stopped nourishing us. Using the Six of Pentacles, Page of Cups, and Two of Wands, I examine the inner child, people-pleasing, self-worth, differentiation, and reclaiming our identity.Instead of wondering whether someone else will finally change, I invite you to explore what becomes possible when you stop organizing your life around earning their love and begin investing in the version of yourself that has always been worthy of receiving love from anyone.Want more of this type of tarot experience?

Episode DescriptionAll the emotion from June gives way to abundant growth. We're invited to sit securely on the throne of the King of Pentacles, trusting that we've learned enough to tend to what's coming into full bloom in our lives. Those lives, meanwhile, are bustling with activity, work, and connections that need all of our attention and resources, as shown in the maximalist Ten of Pentacles. Our challenge, however, is to not take this intensity as a reason to reinvent the wheel - charging into fresh ideas, systems, and investments of all sorts like the Knight of Pentacles. That would be a surefire way of avoiding the newness that's on the horizon along with the abundant goodness we've been working so hard to cultivate. Instead, the Two of Wands asks us to look for a spark that's not directly tied to our day-to-day life right now. This isn't some practical edit or innovation, but a new and likely creative offshoot that could take us someplace considerable, though for now it's just time to dream and envision what could come while enjoying whatever it is we've discovered that's lighting a fire within.

#153 The Seven of Pentacles This is a card of sustainability, of harvesting what you need versus taking it all. Melissa sees this card of taking all the intentions and goals you harvest. There is some frustration involved, which makes this similar to the other suit sevens. There may be some harsh reality of working hard and either succeeding (RWS) versus the Luna Sol Tarot which is Thoth-based. Hilary says this card is the “pick your hard” card.   Homework: Choose your hard work and stay the course.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I'm pulling for June's collective tarot reading where I explore a Summer Solstice inspired spread designed to help us step out of the shadows and into the growth of the sun. As we move toward the longest day of the year, I wanted to create a spread that examines what we've been avoiding, the fears keeping us stuck, and the growth that becomes possible when we're willing to move forward anyway.Pulling the Two of Wands, Eight of Swords, and Seven of Pentacles, I explore the psychology of indecision, analysis paralysis, self-doubt, boundaries, and the often unavoidable and uncomfortable reality that growth sometimes means we need to release expectations.The reading begins with the Two of Wands, a card that challenges us to examine the difference between planning and stagnation. How long have we been researching, preparing, contemplating, and waiting? At what point does preparation stop being helpful and start becoming a means of avoidance, or a false refuge from uncertainty?From there, the Eight of Swords invites a deeper question: what is actually keeping us stuck? Rather than viewing this card solely as self-imposed limitation, I explore the possibility that some of our hesitation may be rooted in inherited narratives, unconscious loyalties, relational dynamics, or systems that benefited from us staying exactly where we are. It's unlikely this person blindfolded and binded themselves afterall. Finally, the Seven of Pentacles offers a different relationship with growth altogether. Instead of demanding immediate transformation, this card reminds us that meaningful change often unfolds slowly through patience, repetition, and sustained effort. This card reminds us to “trust the process,” be present during the awkward growth phase, and be willing to see what transpires on our way to the outcome.Deck used: Joi de VivreWant more of this type of tarot experience?Join us at the Summer Solstice Summit - a three day, virtual tarot conference June 26-28.

Emily and Andrea check in while still recording in Taurus season, describing a “gas and brake” stagnation and encouraging nervous system regulation, rest, and steady Knight of Pentacles-style effort while living in a longer liminal period tied to larger astrological shifts. They introduce Gemini season as mutable, curiosity-driven, idea-collecting energy and discuss the Gemini–Sagittarius polarity, noting Uranus in Gemini will change the vibe for the next seven years and push belief revisions on a global scale. Andrea's tarot pulls open with Page of Wands, then a run of grounding cards (10 of Pentacles, 9 of Pentacles, The Emperor, 4 of Pentacles) emphasizing tangible progress, self-made confidence, pattern-spotting, and avoiding scarcity spirals.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore a question that has been lingering in my mind for months: What do the pillars in tarot actually symbolize on a deeper psychological level?Using Viktor Frankl's famous quote - “Between stimulus and response there is a space…,” I reflect on how the pillars in cards like the High Priestess, Justice, the Hierophant, and even the Moon might represent more than just duality or balance. I explore the possibility that these pillars symbolize psychological thresholds or liminal spaces where uncertainty, intuition, morality, projection, fear, and meaning live.I dive into the symbolism of the flowing/airy tapestry behind the High Priestess and contrast it with the heavy, obscuring curtain behind Justice, exploring how these archetypes reflect the tension between flexibility and rigidity. Through a Jungian, somatic, and trauma-informed lens, I discuss how the body often senses something before the mind can, and before the brain can organize it into language, as well as how our desire for certainty can sometimes become a defense mechanism against our discomfort with ambiguity.From there, I turn toward the Hierophant and explore the psychological impact of inherited systems rooted in religion, morality, culture, authority, and collective meaning-making. I reflect on what happens when external structures override internal knowing, and why the space between the pillars matters so much when it comes to identity, autonomy, and self-trust.I also explain why I believe the Moon belongs in this conversation, despite its “pillars” technically being towers. For me, The Moon represents what happens behind the pillars: the unconscious terrain we enter when certainty becomes hazy and we are forced to navigate ambiguity without reassurance.Toward the end of the episode, I create a brand new three card tarot spread inspired by Frankl's quote.Pulling the Magician, Six of Pentacles, and Three of Wands, I explore themes of hyper-independence, receiving support, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to survive entirely on our own.This episode is part tarot symbolism analysis, part Jungian and therapeutic exploration, and part philosophical reflection on what exists in the space between instinct and action.Want more of this type of tarot experience?Join us at the Summer Solstice Summit - a three day, virtual tarot conference June 26-28.

Mutual Reception: Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini Hey cosmic cousins! On this week of Cosmic Weekly Weather, for the week of May 4–10, 2026, Mary Evans joins us unexpectedly. We light a candle she gifted, and drop into the living ritual of the moment together. Notable Transits of the Week Mutual Reception: Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini Mutual reception is an astrological condition where two planets are in each other's ruling signs, creating a reciprocal exchange of energy. It's as if each planet is hosted by the other, so even if they're not in their most natural placement, they gain support, access, and understanding through that relationship. This often creates a feedback loop where the planets can “help” one another express more fluidly. This week, we are experiencing a mutual reception between Mercury and Venus—meaning they are in each other's signs, creating a supportive, reciprocal relationship. Mercury (the mind, communication) is in Taurus (ruled by Venus), while Venus (love, beauty, pleasure) is in Gemini (ruled by Mercury). This creates an energetic “infinity loop” or feedback system, each planet strengthening and softening the other. We were likening this specific combo of Mutual Reception to the ‘2 of Pentacles' in the tarot. Themes of the week include balance, harmony, and learning how to integrate thinking with feeling, and value with curiosity. Mercury in Taurus invites us to slow down, speak from embodied truth, and tend to practical, sensory realities (like finances, food, touch). Venus in Gemini encourages play, connection, curiosity, and finding joy in conversation, collaboration, and “fun in pairs.” Together: where Taurus may feel fixed, Gemini brings movement; where Gemini may feel scattered, Taurus offers grounding. Reflection Questions for the Week: How can I speak what I value? How can I stay curious about what I love without rushing to define it? Song of the week: “Goddess Code” by Lizzie Jeff This track is a mantra for the current astrology and mutual reception of Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini —calling in abundance, friendship, greater alignment, purpose and joy. Lyrics about manifesting finer things, embodying what you preach and traveling with friends. Let this be a soundtrack for pleasure, self-worth, and intentional creation. Cosmic Summer Bundle Special!

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for May. They note that after a historic planetary stellium in fiery Aries last month, May should feel a bit more grounded, especially during the first three weeks as move through Taurus Season. They discuss the Scorpio Full Moon on the first day of the month—the first of two full moons—and how it may inspire our sensual natures. This is followed by Pluto stationing retrograde, which may coincided with the unearthing of deep secrets and desires. They explore the routine-oriented Taurus New Moon, which occurs the same day as a Mars/Chiron Conjunction, and how old wounds regarding embodiment and personal power may arise. They discuss how the third week of May, Mercury and the Sun both join Uranus in Gemini, calling us to be open to new ways of thinking and being. Additionally, they note how the month ends with a Blue Moon, a Sagittarius Full Moon that asks us to weave meaning from the information we're gathering. Stephanie chooses a tarot card at random, the Ace of Pentacles, and Megan explains how this ace invites us to be fully present in the moment and embrace new opportunities.

Purple Pants Podcast | March Premonitions: Clearing Space for What's Next March's Premonitions is here, and the message is clear: trust what you know. Brice and Gary dive into what it really means to climb the proverbial ladder while staying grounded in your intuition, reminding listeners that growth requires support and expansion requires clearing space for the new. With the Four of Pentacles pulled in reverse, the energy points to loosening your grip and releasing what you've been holding onto too tightly. Add in the retrograde in Pisces, and it's a powerful time to reevaluate, reflect, and recognize that spaces that once felt safe are not always meant to stay that way. This month is about realignment, discernment, and making room for what's next.
