Today's Libra Bloom reading is not your typical tea—it's more like a camomile steeped in secrets. The Seven of Swords hit the table, but it didn't feel shady. It felt sacred. Someone's out here lying, not to hurt—but to shield. This isn't betrayal; it's battle scars hidden behind a smile. They've already been through hell, and if you knew what they endured, your soul might bow in heartbreak or rage. So they keep it quiet. To protect you. Because telling you the truth might hurt more than carrying it alone. This one's for the people who carry pain in silence so others don't have to. #LibraBloom #TarotReading #SevenOfSwords #LiesForLove #SpiritualShielding #SilentSuffering #TarotDownload #DailyTarot #EnergyReading #SeerineTarotFM #SeerineTarot #TruthWrappedInLove #SacredSecrets #EmotionalProtectionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/seerine-tarot--5349584/support.

In this episode of So Divine!, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for July, noting that a number of celestial bodies--Neptune, Saturn, Mercury, and Chiron--all station retrograde this month. They speak to how when a planet stations its qualities are amplified, discussing the potential expressions for each and how to consciously work the energies in a mindful way. They talk about Uranus' big move from Taurus to Gemini, where it will be for better part of the next seven years, sharing some of the past historical time periods when this revolutionary planet darted through this mutable sign. They explore potential themes that may emerge during its residence there, including shake-ups related to communication, the media, education, and transport as well as the ways we orient to duality and multiplicity. Stephanie chooses a tarot card at random, the Ten of Swords, and Megan explains how this card indicates a death to old ways of thinking, offering an invitation to new beginnings by being open to fresh perspectives.

Join Matt Swords and David Burr as they discuss this weekend's message on the call to love and unity within the church, even when we don't agree. It's so easy to let our disagreements divide us, but God calls us to put relational connection above agreement, as evidenced in the book of James and the story of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15.

Astrology and Tarot from two grounded Earth signs! We're here to show you the energies so you can embrace them in your own way! Show Summary: In this Cosmic Energy Report, hosts Andrea and Emily are forecasting the energies surrounding Cancer season. Reflecting on the chaotic and transformative nature of the preceding Gemini season, they discuss how the rapid pace of life has made it difficult to find stable footing. Both hosts emphasize the importance of grounding, self-care, and leaning into emotional support systems as we transition into a time marked by deep introspection and emotional sensitivity. They explore significant astrological events, such as Jupiter moving into Cancer, and how these shifts impact not just individual lives but the collective energy as well. Listeners are encouraged to slow down, embrace self-discovery, and prepare for the intuitive insights and breakthroughs that Cancer season promises to deliver.  Tied to the astrological themes shared by Emily, Andrea provides key tarot readings for the upcoming weeks, including cards like the Ace of Swords and the Six of Pentacles, highlighting themes of balance, breakthroughs, and new beginnings. They discuss how these cards reflect the broader astrological transits, such as Neptune's retrograde in Aries and Uranus entering Gemini, paving the way for unexpected changes and profound realizations. With a keen focus on how past choices and upcoming opportunities shape the collective journey, the hosts underline the necessity of trusting in the process. Emphasizing both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, particularly with Mercury retrograde in Leo, they advise listeners to stay curious, flexible, and open to the sense of adventure brought by the transition from Cancer to Leo season.

Welcome to Courage to Advance, hosted by Kim Bohr and brought to you by SparkEffect, in partnership with The Empathy Edge.Tune in to our subseries every 3rd Thursday, right here on The Empathy Edge! Or check us out at www.CourageToAdvancePodcast.com.In today's always-on business culture, how can leaders cut through digital noise to regain mental clarity? Kim Bohr sits down with Timothy Swords, a mindfulness-focused executive coach who blends Harvard MBA-level acumen with over 2,000 hours of mindfulness practice. Timothy reveals how simple grounding techniques transformed executives from being the "scary person in the room" to creating harmonious relationships.This conversation explores why self-awareness might be more valuable than an MBA, how stress contagion undermines organizational performance, and why working beyond 50 hours delivers diminishing returns. Timothy shares practical "mindfulness hacks," including a grounding technique for meetings, plus how 10 minutes of practice increases self-awareness by 35%.Whether you're struggling with digital overwhelm, managing stressed teams, or seeking authentic leadership approaches, discover how mindfulness becomes a competitive advantage. Learn why emotions last 30 seconds unless we feed them with thoughts. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Mindfulness is "lucid awareness from paying attention on purpose in the present moment"A leader's emotional state directly impacts team performance through stress contagionWorking beyond 50 hours shows diminishing returns; 70-hour weeks produce no more than 55-hour weeksSimple grounding technique: Feel your feet on the floor during meetings to interrupt anxiety cyclesJust 10 minutes of daily mindfulness practice increases self-awareness by 35% in 6-8 weeksAuthentic leadership starts with clarity on personal values aligned with organizational valuesTwo types of self-compassion: tender (being kind) and fierce (setting healthy boundaries) "An emotion on its own lasts like 30 seconds. But if you're feeding it with thoughts, it goes on and on—it gets worse and worse. If you want to do anger management, you've got to stop that cycle, because you're actually creating your own anger." — Timothy SwordsAbout Timothy Swords: Timothy Swords blends corporate acumen with mindfulness training to guide senior leaders in integrating mindfulness into decision-making and leadership effectiveness. His experience includes CFO and strategic transformation roles at Fidelity Investments, MUFG Union Bank, and PwC. Timothy holds an MBA from Harvard University and is a certified mindfulness instructor with over 2,000 hours of practice, including training with renowned teachers Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Sharon Salzberg.About SparkEffect: SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatest asset: their people.

There's a hidden story in the Tarot—one we don't often speak of.It's the story of the Four Queens—Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles—and what happened when they turned on each other.This message is a mythic remembrance of the fall of the ancient temples—Atlantis, Babylon, the priestesshoods—and how that collapse is mirrored in our inner lives today. When the Queens are no longer in sacred communion, the feminine grid of creation fractures, and with it, our sense of sovereignty, abundance, and trust in sisterhood.

After the success of Conan the Barbarian, the straight to video market saw a massive boom of fantasy films.  On this month's episode, actor and producer Jason Crowe joins us to discuss three classic, low-budget fantasy films of the '80s. We discuss The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982), Hercules (1983) and Deathstalker 2 (1987). Original Music and episode audio mastering by Beau Hitt.

In today's (slightly late but right on time) collective, someone spoke too soon — and now the vibe's shifted. The Two of Swords shows a standoff in direction, but it's deeper than logistics. It's spiritual. One person is starting to look elsewhere… not just physically, but energetically. Maybe pentacles are spiritual — or maybe someone's trying to redraw their path entirely. Either way, this convo cracked something open. Tune in to see who's pivoting and why silence might've been golden. #SeerineTarot #TarotReading #CollectiveReading #TwoOfSwords #SpiritualAwakening #TarotTruths #EnergyShift #RegretAndRedirect #TarotMessages #DivineDetours #ShadowWork #LateButFated #IntuitiveReadingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/seerine-tarot--5349584/support.

Summary In this episode of Practically Magic, host Courtney Pearl and guest Tannaz Hosseinpour delve into the complexities of relationships, exploring themes of codependency, independence, and the importance of intimacy. They discuss the significance of self-awareness in recognizing patterns, the necessity of communication, and the concept of bids for connection. The conversation emphasizes the need for balance in relationships, the role of safety in determining success, and practical strategies for fostering healthy connections. Takeaways The Seven of Swords card symbolizes the need to let go of burdens. Codependency can stem from early relationships and childhood experiences. Finding a balance between independence and interdependence is crucial. Intimacy can be categorized into six types: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, experiential, and sexual. It's important to communicate needs clearly to avoid misunderstandings. Recognizing familiar chaos can help identify unhealthy relationship patterns. Bids for connection are essential for relationship health and should be reciprocated. Conflict can be reframed as an opportunity for deeper connection. Safety in a relationship is a key indicator of its success. Curiosity and open communication can strengthen relationships. Sound Bites "Conflict is seen as such a scary thing." "No one is a mind reader." "Connection over consequence."

1000 Hour is my continuing podcast series about the pioneer era of pro wrestling. The pioneer era is the time before Frank Gotch, roughly 1850 to 1900. It was an era of wild showmen and tough real wrestlers. This episode continues our chronological journey through the pioneer era of wrestling via my book DragonKingKarl's Pioneer Era Pro Wrestling Omnibus. This week we are in the 1870s and the wrestling bears are still causing trouble, every newspaper has a different idea who the American champion is, and the two biggest stars of the time: John McMahon and Col. James H. McLaughlin have the first two of their trio of matches... and then somebody drags out a sword. YOU CONTROL THIS SERIES! It will only run as long as it is supported. In order to get another hour of 1000 hours we need a new Patreon supporter at any level or a cash donation via the front page of WhenItWasCool.com to either PayPal or CashApp (Please put “1000” in the note). As soon as it is received, I will produce a new hour. Presently, we are funded up to hour 93.

Join Matt Swords and Jim Ehrman as they discuss this weekend's message on the biblical principle of being under authority in order to walk in authority. We all want to walk in the authority Christ has given us on earth, but too often we neglect or overlook the importance of first living in submission and obedience to Christ. Tune in for Matt and Jim's personal insights and strategies for how we can walk this out in our daily lives.

I was recently trying to remember the first time I met S.D. (Sam) Smith, the creator of the wildly popular Green Ember books. I think it was at a homeschool conference a decade ago, back when I was working at The Colson Center. I noticed that one of the booths in the exhibit hall was crowded with kids and their parents. It was Sam's booth, and the kids were going just crazy in their enthusiasm for Sam's “rabbits with swords,” the heroic and delightful characters who are the stars of the Green Ember books. Since then, Sam's Green Ember books – plus other series that we'll talk about today – have sold more than 1.5 million books. Sam's brother Josiah is a key partner in the cottage industry that the Smiths have created, and his son – also named Josiah – is now a co-writer of the Jack Zulu books. I'm also pleased to say that Sam has become a good friend, so this conversation might get a little free-wheeling. We talk about writing the Green Ember and Jack Zulu books, a kickstarter campaign that has already raised more than $200,000 for a video game based on one of the characters in the Green Ember series, and why he has chosen to stay in West Virginia when conventional wisdom says he might have an easier time of it if he moved to Nashville, New York, or one of the other so-called “cultural centers” in the country. I think you'll find Sam's perspective both encouraging and challenging. We had this conversation via zoom. That brings to a close my conversation with S.D. (Sam) Smith. You can find out more about Sam and his work at www.sdsmith.com. By the way, since Sam and I spoke, his kickstarter campaign has significantly exceeded its $200,000 goal. Congratulations to Sam and his team on this milestone. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm  your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.
