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. Pick one thing and finish it, close your circle.   Grab your tickets for Kitchen Table Gathering now!

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.

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

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.
