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. They flag key transits and dates including Venus square Neptune and Sun conjunct Uranus (May 22), Mars square Pluto (May 26), a Sagittarius blue moon (May 31), Mercury into Cancer and later Mercury–Neptune/Saturn tension, Venus into Leo, a Gemini supermoon new moon, Venus opposite Pluto, and Chiron entering Taurus with money, security, and self-worth themes, then close with upcoming offerings, shows, and readings.   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome Back Hosts 00:46 Taurus Season Stuckness 03:37 Liminal Time Lessons 06:55 Rest And Reset 09:11 All Planets Shift 10:44 Gemini Season Begins 11:29 Gemini Traits Myth 16:02 Gemini In Real Life 17:17 Page Of Wands Kickoff 21:46 Uranus Changes Gemini 22:38 May 22 Fog Lightning 24:48 Ten Of Pentacles Week 30:11 Power Dynamics Flashpoints 35:15 Nine Of Pentacles Wins 38:24 Sagittarius Full Moon 40:00 Mercury Into Cancer 40:50 Remembering Good Times 41:25 Mercury Square Neptune Fog 42:26 Ten Ten Ten Test 42:54 Emperor Energy Grounding 48:22 Pisces Moon Presence 49:47 Venus Jupiter Group Hug 51:08 Mercury Saturn Defensive Words 52:46 Four of Pentacles Scarcity 58:49 Venus in Leo Spotlight 59:33 Gemini Supermoon Reset 01:02:03 Venus Pluto Red Flags 01:02:53 Chiron Enters Taurus Values 01:06:23 Collective Activism Shifts 01:10:53 July Turning Point Ahead 01:14:39 Creators Updates Offerings 01:20:19 Final Wrap and Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

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.

In Episode 5 of Seeing Tarot, artist Anna Rose Stabler and tarot reader Gina Wisotzky continue their card-by-card exploration of the tarot, arriving at the final ace of the Minor Arcana: the Ace of Pentacles.Rather than defining cards through fixed meanings, this podcast explores what happens when you live with tarot over time: through art-making, daily life, season, conversation, and sensory experience.This month's focus:The Ace of PentaclesHere, we dive into the element of earth: cultivation, embodiment, material reality, labor, pleasure, systems, resources, and the strange human tension between structure and freedom.The conversation moves between orchards, agriculture, productivity culture, tarot structure, perfume, ducks, bees, home renovations, and the rhythms of seasonal living. The Ace of Pentacles emerges as a card about participation in the world itself: the place where spiritual insight becomes lived experience.This episode also marks the completion of the aces and the beginning of a new phase in the project, as Anna and Gina begin considering a move into the court cards and the evolving structure of the series itself.In This Episode* The Ace of Pentacles as the grounding point of the Minor Arcana: where “things get real” * Agriculture as both technology and existential tradeoff: planning for survival versus living in the present* The garden as representation of the emergence of humanity in the tarot landscape* The relationship between structure, discipline, civilization, and spiritual life* The tension between optimization culture and cyclical, sensory, embodied living* Anna's artistic process creating the Ace of Pentacles illustration: orchards, orange roses, guinea fowl, and pastoral abundance* Cyclical versus linear understandings of tarot structure and personal growth* Perfume, musk, gourmand fragrances, and the sensory world of Pentacles* Bees, ducks, chickens, home renovation, spring labor, and the deeply earthly experience of tending land and homeScents & Sensory CorrespondencesAce of PentaclesFragranceAnna's PickDzing! — animalic, hay-like, gourmand inspired by the circus.Gina's PickKiehl's Musk — as earthy as it gets! a musk for the ages.Additional Pentacles fragrance associations discussed include bread accords, gourmand perfumes, amber, vanilla, and patchouli.Natural Material* Orchard soil* Fresh bread* Hay and straw* Mossy garden walls* Animal musk* BeeswaxEnvironment* A cultivated orchard bordered by mountains* A busy garden full of creatures* Spring abundance tipping toward summerReferences & Influences* Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack* Tarot Deciphered by T.

Thank you for your support! In this episode, we explore the quiet internal split so many of us are navigating right now—the tension between the logical mind that tries to figure everything out, and the spiritual mind that already knows the way without needing proof, certainty, or linear steps.Through a tarot reading featuring the Four of Pentacles (reversed), The Chariot, and the Knight of Cups (horizontal), we unpack what it looks like when control begins to loosen, when alignment starts to create movement without force, and when intuition and doubt begin to overlap in real time.This is a transmission about what happens when overthinking stops being a solution and starts being a loop. When gripping, planning, and analyzing no longer create the safety they once did. And when something deeper in you begins to whisper: there is another way to move through life.We also bring in teachings from A Course in Miracles, reminding us that the mind that created the problem cannot be the one that resolves it. Spiritual truth is not linear, logical, or something you arrive at through endless mental excavation. In fact, the more we try to find spiritual clarity through purely logical systems, the more we reinforce the very limitation we're trying to transcend.This episode is an invitation to soften the compulsion to “figure it out,” and instead begin listening differently—through feeling, resonance, and inner alignment. Because clarity doesn't always come through analysis. Sometimes it comes when you stop trying to force understanding and start allowing guidance.You're not here to solve your life like a problem.You're here to align with what already knows the way.Patreon: patreon.com/DivineCreatorsDivine Creators with Cody Singh Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/797605297016201Save my new album "Feeling Hz" on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/album/3Ite6YFkjcBvSYvtHqIugF?si=MyXLExiLRi6drOmkf9z4TgBuy my album on iTunes! https://music.apple.com/us/album/feeling-hz/1869793343Website: www.codysingh.com

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!

This reading surprised me when I turned over the cards. After a period of (relative) calm in our readings with no majors in sight, May brings us two powerful archetypes to work with: the deeply transformative path of Death and the placid surrender of The Hanged Man. If you've been feeling a change building, this month is when it comes into focus - perhaps in a glaring way that has us instincitively shrinking away from the spotlight - and require us to keep going, dare to openly celebrate and continue what's working well and rapidly, and to also balance all the fire and movement with wise practical decisions in our everyday lives. Listen in and see how these cards might shape your May.Episode DescriptionWe're moving out of April's grounded, contemplative Pentacles landscape and into something much more immediate and alive.Last month asked us to tend, to wait, and to notice what emerges when we don't rush. And now, suddenly things are happening.May brings a rapid shift from possibility into reality. The Six of Wands signals momentum and visible success, while Death reveals the deeper transformation fueling it all. The Hanged Man introduces a tension between movement and retreat, and the Four of Pentacles offers a grounded way to navigate the intensity.This is a powerful and slightly surreal month. May asks us to accept what is working, trust the depth of change unfolding beneath it, and move forward without abandoning our center.Our CardsTheme: Six of WandsThings are moving—and fast!What was contemplative in April now becomes real. The Six of Wands brings visibility, success, and a sense of arrival that may feel sudden or even surprising.This is the moment where ideas take shape and results begin to show. Let yourself be seen, supported, and celebrated. You've done more preparation than you think and the feedback isn't just kindness.Environment: DeathBeneath the external successes of the month lies a larger path of profound transformation.Death reveals that what's unfolding externally is rooted in something much deeper. A cycle is ending, a new facet of ourselves is emerging, and the shift is both inevitable and meaningful.It'll be feel intense AND aligned. Make room for all the feelings and keep going, paying attention to your instincts and intuition.Challenge: The Hanged ManAmidst all this internal and external movement, a part of us wants to shrink back and hide behind a facade of “wise caution.” This moment, however, calls for us to show up and participate. It's not the time to turn back, look for perfection, or get abstract when things get real.Opportunity: Four of PentaclesStay grounded, keep it simple, and maybe avoid big financial moves or radical changes in your everyday life!The Four of Pentacles offers a stabilizing path through the intensity of the month. This is about tending to your resources - energy, time, money, and attention - with clarity and care.Key Themes for May 2026Rapid movement and visible resultsExternal success rooted in deeper transformationLearning to receive recognition without minimizing itNavigating the tension between action and retreatGrounding through daily ritual and routine, the senses, and a practice of enoughnessSustaining yourself through change rather than overextending

You're invited to our to a free Tarot Q&A on May 4 at 5 pm pst/ 8 pm est over Zoom, then we pull the cards for May 2026 and get honest about love, money, and guidance for May. King of Pentacles, Page of Pentacles, and Queen of Wands point to stability you can feel, creativity you can act on, and power you can use for yourself and your community. Thank you for listening to Romanistan podcast.

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.

This is the episode I've been building you toward all season. Six major transits in seven days - almost all of them in Aries - and every single one asking the same question from a different angle: what are you actually building and are you willing to be seen building it? I'm walking you through the full week day by day. Mars conjunct Neptune on Monday delivering inspired action fused with genuine feeling and an exact Venus sextile Jupiter that's one of the best money aspects of the season. Mercury entering Aries on Wednesday giving you the sharpest communication window of the month. Sun conjunct Chiron on Thursday - the authority wound arriving at the exact moment someone is deciding whether to invest in you. The New Moon in Aries on Friday planting the most powerful career intention of the season with Chiron woven right into the seed. Mercury sextile Pluto on Saturday giving your words the depth that Friday's fog wouldn't allow. And Mars conjunct Saturn on Sunday asking the question the whole season has been building toward: did you build with integrity? Inside this episode: why Monday's impulse to act is worth trusting the one day your communication is sharpest before the fog rolls back in what happens when the wound and the power show up on the same day how to set a New Moon intention that includes the mess alongside the vision and why the King of Pentacles and the 3 of Wands together are telling you the ships are already on the water. This is the arrival week. Everything before now was preparation.

In Episode 4 of Seeing Tarot, artist Anna Rose Stabler and tarot reader Gina Wisotzky continue their card-by-card exploration of the tarot, moving through the aces of the Minor Arcana.Rather than defining cards through fixed meanings, this podcast explores what happens when you live with their energy over time: through art-making, daily life, season, and conversation.This month's focus: The Ace of CupsIn this episode, Anna and Gina discuss:* Water as a fluid, transformative element that dissolves the hardness of Swords and Wands into something tender and ineffable* The shadow side of Cups: beneath the softness, what is sinister, soporific, and hidden* The Grail legend as tarot mirror: the holy fool, purity of heart, and the quest for impossible wholeness* How the five streams in the card's imagery connect to the senses and the facets of being alive* The upside-down M on the chalice and its possible allusion to the Virgin Mary* Rachel Pollack's framing of the Ace of Cups as “an emblem of love underpinning life”* Psychedelics, blue lotus, and states of perception beyond language* The Cocteau Twins as the ultimate Cups band* Gina's March forecast and how the Eight of Cups, Ten of Cups, and Six of Wands illuminate the art of following the flow* Anna's illustration process: gray skies, a sun-sized wafer, and a Medieval-style border* A preview of the Ace of Pentacles and the turn toward earthThe conversation moves freely between the mystical and the grounded — from Arthurian legend and Gnostic Christianity to perfume and Pokémon. The Ace of Cups emerges the place where the full spectrum of emotional life gathers: seeking, melancholy, beauty, and the underlying unity beneath it all.References & InfluencesThe Grail Legend by Emma Jung and Marie-Louise von FranzSeventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel PollackThe Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer BradleyElaine Pagels and the Gnostic GospelsThe Cocteau TwinsAce of Cups MoodboardScents & Sensory CorrespondencesAce of CupsFragranceGina's PickParfum de Thérèse by Frédéric Malle — created by Edmond Roudnitska in the late 1950s for his wife, who wore it exclusively until Frédéric Malle later brought it to market.

Episode DescriptionWe're coming back down to earth in April after practicing honesty and clarity with the King of Swords in March. This month brings us fully back into the body, the home, and the material world, while giving us a new perspective from which we can plan our next steps.With a strong two pentacles at the center of its reading, April emphasizes stewardship, presence, and participation in daily life. The Queen of Pentacles leads us into a space of care and attentiveness, while the Ten of Pentacles reflects a rich, busy, and interconnected environment. The Nine of Swords challenges us to notice old patterns of retreat or overwhelm, and the Two of Wands opens a quiet but exciting space for creative dreaming.This is a full and fertile month: April asks us to tend what is already here, trust the stability we've built, and allow new visions to emerge without rushing to act on them.Our CardsTheme: Queen of PentaclesApril is rooted in care, presence, and grounded stewardship. After March's King of Swords clarity, we now come into the body and the senses. This is a month of tending: to your home, your relationships, your environment, and yourself.Rather than speaking or analyzing, the Queen of Pentacles asks: how are you showing up? How are you creating a space where you and your community can feel supported?There is a quiet confidence here, so trust that you know how to care for what matters.Environment: Ten of PentaclesLife is rich and full!The Ten of Pentacles reflects a world of many moving parts—people, responsibilities, relationships, obligations, and opportunities. It can feel like a lot, but it is also a sign of abundance and interconnectedness. It just might make you feel a little dizzy.This is not a spacious month externally, but internally, you are being asked to cultivate steadiness. Notice just how capable you've become in navigating complexity.Challenge: Nine of SwordsOld patterns of worry, overwhelm, or retreat may resurface.The Nine of Swords suggests that moments of busyness or abundance could trigger familiar emotional responses such as rumination, anxiety, or the urge to withdraw. Yet this card feels slightly out of step with the rest of the spread, hinting that these reactions may be echoes rather than current truths.Where might you be defaulting to old coping mechanisms that no longer fit?Opportunity: Two of WandsA gentle and exciting opening.The Two of Wands invites you to dream, explore, and imagine what's next without pressure. This is not a month for major action or overhaul. It is a time for curiosity, possibility, and low-stakes creativity.Let yourself expand your vision. What if the best thing could happen?Key Themes for April 2026* Grounding into the body and daily life* Stewardship of home, resources, and relationships* Navigating abundance and busyness with presence* Recognizing and releasing outdated emotional patterns* Making space for creative dreaming without urgency* Finding stability within complexity

April is where the fire gets real.We've already crossed into Aries season—but this is the moment where the dreaming gives way to doing. A powerful Aries build pushes us into action, while the Full Moon in Libra brings truth to our relationships and the New Moon in Aries opens the door to begin again—boldly, imperfectly, and on your own terms.This month's medicine reminds us: starting is only part of the work.The Three of Pentacles calls us into sacred craft and collaboration—building something meaningful with devotion and support.With Carnelian (creative fire), Date Palm (resilience and growth), and Camel (endurance and pacing), April becomes a practice in moving forward without burning out.So, let's start the thing. Build it with intention. And then pace yourself so it lasts.Work with AngieIf you're feeling this month's energy and want support in integrating it into your life:Tarot ReadingsEarth Medicine, Energy Healing, & ReikiWorkshops & CirclesMonthly Membershipkwebsite at the Moon + Stone dot com

Emily and Andrea recap the emotional aftermath of early-2026 eclipse season and how people are split between feeling forward momentum and feeling stuck in “muck,” then preview Aries season as a cardinal, Mars-ruled reset tied to courage, initiative, and not playing small (with cautions around impulsiveness, anger, and burnout). They note major global headlines during the eclipse window, ongoing Saturn–Neptune influence, and potential financial volatility alongside cards that still look financially positive. Using tarot for the season—Magician, Queen of Pentacles, High Priestess, King of Swords, and Ten of Pentacles—they emphasize grounded resource management, trusting intuition, taking action, and expecting tangible confirmation. Key transits include Mercury ending retrograde at the equinox, Venus into Taurus, a Libra full moon, Mars into Aries, and a rare Aries pile-up (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron) culminating in an Aries new moon before Taurus season.   Emily and Andrea are chatting about the crazy emotions following the early-2026 eclipse season—seems like everyone's split between feeling totally ready to move forward and just stuck in the mud. They're looking ahead to Aries season, which is this big cardinal, Mars-ruled push for a reset. It's all about being brave, taking the lead, and not playing small (just watch out for getting too impulsive, angry, or burned out!). They bring up the major global news that went down during the eclipse window, the ongoing Saturn–Neptune vibes, and a heads-up about possible financial ups and downs, even though the overall outlook still looks good. Andrea pulled the tarot cards for the season—Magician, Queen of Pentacles, High Priestess, King of Swords, and Ten of Pentacles—which basically shout: get grounded with your money, trust your gut, actually do the thing, and expect to see real results. Key dates include Mercury finally going direct at the equinox, Venus moving into Taurus, a full moon in Libra, Mars heading into Aries, and this wild pile-up of planets in Aries (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron) hitting its peak with an Aries new moon right before Taurus season kicks off.   00:00 Welcome and Aries Preview 00:58 Post Eclipse Check In 02:17 Muck to Magic Themes 04:04 Cards Shift to Daily Life 07:16 Eclipse Fallout Headlines 10:55 Awareness and Power Shifts 13:51 Surgery Timeline Metaphor 16:58 Aries Season Basics 18:38 Aries Spirit and Chiron 21:40 Equinox Cards The Magician 28:54 March 20-21 Astro 30:19 Queen of Pentacles Grounding 34:01 March 22-28 Astro 38:21 High Priestess Next Week 43:19 March 29-April 4 Astro 46:52 King of Swords Clarity 53:03 April 5-11 Astro 55:14 Ten of Pentacles Rewards 59:53 April 12-18 Astro 01:12:29 Offerings and Newsletters 01:17:59 Final Wrap and Support   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

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.

Something in your business is done this week. Not failing - done. Outgrown. And you probably already know what it is. Tuesday's Lunar Eclipse in Virgo is the biggest transit of the month - a South Node eclipse that releases what's pretending to work in your systems, your service, and your daily operations. But the eclipse is only one day. The rest of the week is about what happens after. In this week's CEO Operating Brief, I'm walking you through the full arc (day by day) from Monday's audit through Tuesday's release, Thursday's first breath of expansion, Friday's visibility shift, Saturday's one flash of clarity in the middle of Mercury Retrograde fog, and Sunday's reality check. This week's day-by-day: → Monday - Mars enters Pisces. Your action style shifts. Audit what you're maintaining out of habit before the eclipse arrives → Tuesday - Lunar Eclipse in Virgo. Name what's complete. Decide. Put it down → Wednesday - Let it settle. Notice what's still solid. Leave space for surprise → Thursday - Sun trine Jupiter. The first exhale post-eclipse. Ask what you'd build for joy, not proof → Friday - Venus enters Aries. Your visibility and attraction style just changed gears. Tighten your CTA → Saturday - Sun conjunct Mercury Rx (the cazimi). One flash of total clarity mid-retrograde. Capture everything → Sunday - Venus conjunct Saturn. Reality check. Test the download against what's actually sustainable Card pull: 9 of Pentacles - stand in your garden. What's still here after you let go is enough. If you haven't listened to last week's Mercury Retrograde deep dive, go back and listen first. That episode showed you the leak. This week's eclipse is sealing it.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I'm kicking off March with a new series for the pod: a monthly collective tarot reading. A lot of you asked for more frequent check-ins after my 2026 year-ahead reading, and honestly… I don't know why I didn't think of doing this sooner. So, thank you for the suggestion!If you've been around my work for a while, you know I don't read predictively. My relationship to tarot is rooted in its therapeutic components and how archetypes help us access unconscious material, think outside the box, and get curious about what's happening inside us and around us. So, these monthly readings are meant to offer an invitation for us to think deeper, feel inspired, and spark conversation.For this first collective reading, I'm using one of my favorite spreads: “Why Is Everything F*cked?” Because…well, everything is f*cked.The spread:A card to represent the current chaosWhat have we not considered about this chaos?What role do I play in the resolution of the chaos?What might await on the other side of the chaos?In this episode, I explore:How the Ace of Pentacles can represent systemic instability and liminalityWhy Death is the card we tend to resist when change is necessaryWhat legacy actually means in times of cultural and institutional upheaval with the Ten of PentaclesHow the Page of Swords reflects collective reframing, discernment, and new languageIf you want to see the cards I pulled and the spread laid out visually, make sure you're on my email list (those subscribers get the images and spread first), or subscribe on Substack.Want more of this type of tarot experience?

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for March. They begin with a discussion of how with both Venus and the Sun uniting with the historic Saturn/Neptune Conjunction themes related to the feminine, money, relationships, ego identity, and leaders may be quite prominent. They share how the Virgo Lunar Eclipse may have us focus on our relationship to perfectionism and well as the pathway forward to holistic well-being. They note that Jupiter in Cancer stationing direct may have us feeling more sensitive, emotional, and intent on nurturing ourselves. They point out after Mercury Retrograde ends (on the day of the Vernal Equinox), all planets will be in direct motion until early May, which should inspire additional forward movement. Stephanie chooses a tarot card at random—the King of Pentacles—and Megan explains how this generous king inspires us to master our finances, while also teaching us the importance of taking care of our bodies and health.
