Something unlocks this week. Jupiter stations direct on Wednesday after being retrograde since November, and whatever stalled, went foggy, or lost its momentum is starting to move again. Mars meets the North Node on Friday the 13th. Mercury trines Jupiter on Monday. This is more forward energy than we've had in months. And that's both the opportunity and the risk. Because when everything starts opening up at once, the instinct is to say yes to all of it. Three weeks later you're buried under commitments you made on impulse and wondering why you're exhausted again. This week's CEO Operating Brief is about choosing where to point the momentum. Not chasing every open door — walking through the right one. Day by day: Monday: Mercury trine Jupiter. The decision clicks. Capture it. Tuesday: Venus sextile Pluto. Go deep. Say the real thing. Wednesday: Jupiter stations direct. Notice what wakes up. Check where you're pointing. Thursday: Moon in Capricorn. One decision. Make it concrete. Friday: Mars conjunct North Node. Trust your gut. Move from intuition. Saturday: zoom out. Think long. Sunday: download everything. Build nothing yet. Plus element-by-element department check-ins and this week's card pull: the Seven of Swords - strategy, selectivity, and reclaiming what's yours. Thursday's episode: what your birth chart actually is when you stop using it as a personality quiz. Three of the nine pillars of the Constellation Method. Don't miss it. ...

This is a card about invoked forces, duality, and the mental plane.

Simon Swords founded Fundipedia after starting in a backyard shed building bespoke software. Originally a custom development shop, his firm built a data governance platform for major buy-side asset managers including HSBC, Barclays, and Legal & General. Over time, Fundipedia evolved into a high-retention enterprise SaaS platform with strong net revenue retention and Rule of 40 performance. Simon navigated long consultative sales cycles, regulatory tailwinds, and a tightly networked financial services market to build a durable recurring revenue engine. After turning down an initial offer, Simon grew ARR further and ultimately sold in 2024 at approximately 10x ARR. He exited fully, used ChatGPT extensively in diligence, and now reflects on endurance, discipline, and surviving long enough for luck to compound. Key Takeaways Survive First — Don't make a mistake that kills you or the business. Staying alive creates the opportunity for luck to compound. Enterprise Patience — Two-year sales cycles are normal at the top end. Persistence and reputation matter more than speed. Rule Of 40 Discipline — Strong growth plus profitability gives founders leverage in exit timing and valuation. Problems Over Product — Founders obsess over product; buyers care about solving painful, expensive problems. Build To Exit Cleanly — Structure the company so it runs without you before you start acquisition conversations. Quote from Simon Swords, Founder of Fundipedia "I think the most important thing is not to make a mistake that kills you or the business. While you're in the arena and you've not been taken out yet, dragged off by the hyenas or lions, whatever they used back in the Roman days, you've still got a chance to make something magical happen. "You do something stupid, kill the business, kill your reputation, you're done. Entrepreneurs hate the word luck. I do feel luck. I am lucky. Of course I'm lucky. I have to be lucky. You make your own luck.  "But I'll tell you what I didn't do. I didn't make a mistake that killed me or the business and the entire way through. Even when I was going through hell, never, no matter how neurotic or anxious or all the negative kind of traits you can imagine would have flown through me. I never made a mistake that killed the business."

This week we are tackling “Reign of the Seven Spellblades” now this isn't your typical cozy magic school and we spend a fair amount of time talking about the "might makes right" philosophy of Kimberly Academy. Not only that we also point out some things where it just didn't sit right with us like where the teachers wait a full eight days before checking on missing students. Rick finds the whole setup pretty nonsensical, especially a weirdly flirtatious flashback involving the protagonist's mother that left him feeling confused about the whole thing. We also take apart the show's weird pacing, pointing out that you could probably skip several episodes and still have a decent handle on what's going on. We also talk about the mechanics of the world and everything and our differences of views on those.About the anime:When Oliver Horn enrolls at Kimberly Magic Academy, which is a very prestigious but apparently very deadly magic school, where only four out of five students survive to graduation, he arrives with more than just books and ambition. Shortly after arriving through a series of events he teams up with a few other fellow first-years. As Oliver begins navigating a school full of dangerous labyrinths, monstrous creatures, and cutthroat upperclassmen. We find out that he isn't just there to study. He's carrying a deeply personal secret and a vendetta that threatens to consume everything around him. As the group bonds, battles, and bleeds their way through Kimberly's brutal curriculum, the truth behind the seven legendary spellblades and Oliver's true purpose begins to surface, pulling them all into a conflict far darker than anything on the syllabus.Next Week's Pick: “Eminence In Shadow Season 2”Have you had the chance to watch Reign of the Seven Spellblades or any of our previous selections?

The show-ending “Smoking Gun” segment on the Monday Bob Rose Show 3-2-26

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 deeply insightful and soulful conversation, I sit down with David C. Olcott, founder and CEO of Samurai Success, Inc., to explore what it truly means to live with awareness, purpose, and spiritual alignment.Drawing from over three decades of coaching experience, David shares how subconscious programming shapes our lives from childhood—and how we can reclaim our power through conscious choice, self-awareness, and personal ethos.From his early work with Tony Robbins to the creation of his transformative book Swords of Illumination, David offers wisdom on bridging the gap between human potential and divine consciousness. Together, Serena and David explore what it means to live as a modern samurai—disciplined, intentional, and in service to others.In This EpisodeThe evolution of coaching — how the industry has shifted from mass seminars to deeply personalized 1:1 transformation.Choice and programming — understanding how our beliefs and responses are formed before age seven, and how to rewrite them.From awareness to transformation — why awareness alone doesn't create change, and what steps to take next.Divinity and consciousness — what it means to recognize the divine within, and how that awareness changes how we live and lead.Living the Samurai ethos — how service, discipline, and alignment become pathways to mastery and meaning.Identity and attraction — how our inner frequency shapes the opportunities and relationships we draw into our lives.Spiritual energy made practical — using mindset, authenticity, and intention to project the energy you want to attract.The ultimate reminder — you are not here to discover who you are; you are here to create who you say you are.Key TakeawaysAwareness is the first step, but change requires consistent new behaviors and beliefs.You are always making choices—whether consciously or through old programming.Spiritual energy is not abstract; it manifests in your attitude, presence, and authenticity.Your identity determines your alignment, coherence, and what you attract.True mastery is being in service to others while continually refining yourself.The greatest freedom comes from remembering your divinity and choosing who you become.About the GuestDavid C. Olcott is the founder, president, and CEO of Samurai Success, Inc., an international coaching firm based in Denver, Colorado. A nationally recognized speaker and author of Swords of Illumination, David integrates psychology, performance, and financial strategy to help individuals and organizations achieve sustainable success through conscious design and spiritual awareness.Learn more about David's work and Swords of Illumination at samuraisuccess.com.Connect with SerenaIf you're a quiet woman leader ready to be visible without performing extroversion or burning out, the Visible Introvert community has the solution to your struggle.

It's our 250th episode, except it's actually closer to 332! No better time for Gerald to review 1983's Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years by Osamu Tezuka, now officially released in English. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Episode DescriptionMarch notes a welcome tonal shift in the spin of the Wheel of Fortune; after the lunar loopiness of January and the catalytic intensity of February's Ten of Swords + Magician pairing, this month offers something priceless: no Major Arcana cards!March brings us back to daily life, precise and grounded authority, and brave emotional seeking. The King of Swords anchors the month in clarity and discernment, while the Eight of Cups quietly invites heart-centered risk. The Six of Wands challenges our definition of success, and the Ten of Cups opens the possibility of genuine connection and fulfillment.This is a subtle and potentially decisive month. March asks us to stand clearly in what we know, move toward what matters, and choose belonging over status and performance.Our CardsTheme: King of SwordsMarch is all about clarity, intellectual authority, and discernment. After February's saturation and intensity, we now hold a single sword instead of ten! This is a moment of breakthrough and accomplishment: the period at the end of a long sentence. Trust your perception and stand confidently in your values.Environment: Eight of CupsThe Eight of Cups shows a quiet but mature turning point. Nothing is being lost - the cups in our array remain upright - but we're in search for something deeper to add. This is a month of walking toward meaning, especially if we can't articulate it yet.Take slow steps and emotional risks in the search of your ninth (and even tenth!) cup.Challenge: Six of WandsThe challenge lies in how we define success: external validation, big wins, and personal riches? Or something else entirely?The Six of Wands suggests recognition, applause, and visible accomplishment may be available, but staying there may create distance. Are we using achievement to protect ourselves from intimacy?Opportunity: Ten of CupsTrue opportunity lies in connection.The Ten of Cups offers emotional fulfillment, belonging, and equal-footed relationship. If we follow the quiet pull of the Eight of Cups, we may arrive somewhere deeply beautiful.Yet fulfillment itself can be confronting. What happens if striving softens? What happens if you are held and seen? This card asks whether you are willing to be comfortable in joy.Key Themes for March 2026* Emerging from intensity into clarity* Precision in speech and decision-making* Emotional courage without drama* Redefining success beyond recognition* Moving from solitary authority into shared belonging* Integrating intellect and intuition

God is more powerful than you give Him credit. No matter what you are facing, whether it be anxiety, regrets, temptation, anything, He is able. God can accomplish more than you can imagine. On Sunday, February 22, 2026, Pastor Chad Gilligan concludes his Swords & Seeds sermon series, reminding us that not only is God able, but He has equipped us with both a Sword & a Seed to get through difficult times.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore why asking better questions might be the most important tarot skill you can develop.As a psychotherapist, I often joke that I'm a “professional question asker.” It's half joke, half truth because the arc of a therapy session (sometimes even the arc of an entire therapeutic relationship) can hinge on one well-timed, well-crafted question. And I've come to realize the same is true in tarot.We spend so much time mastering card meanings, memorizing spreads, studying symbolism, and refining interpretations, but if the question we bring to the cards lacks depth, precision, or courage, even the most technically impressive reading can fall flat.In this episode, I explore:Why poorly crafted tarot questions limit insightHow to stop outsourcing your authority to the cardsHow Socratic questioning can deepen tarot readingsHow vertical arrow questioning (a cognitive therapy tool) applies to tarotI also walk you through a live exercise after pulling the Nine of Swords and the Three of Cups, to show how a surface-level question can evolve into something much more layered, reflective, and transformative.For example:The Nine of Swords goes from “What thoughts are plaguing me?” to “What story am I telling myself when I can't sleep?”The Three of Cups moves from “Where do I feel supported?” to “What feels vulnerable about needing other people?”And we explore something that often goes unnamed: tarot is inherently projective. The questions we ask are never neutral. They reveal our fears, our defenses, our comfort zones, and our blind spots. Sometimes, the most powerful question isn't the one we oh-so-confidently as…sometimes it's the one we hesitate or even refuse to say out loud.Ultimately, when we move beyond surface-level meanings and begin crafting deeper, open-ended tarot questions, we shift into deeper states of consciousness - and that's where tarot becomes not just a tool for “answers,” but a collaborator in our journey towards self-actualization.If you found this episode helpful, you'll love The Symposium - my membership community where we practice therapeutic tarot together in spaces like the Reading Room, the Book Club, monthly workshops, and meet ups.Want more of this type of tarot experience?

Watch the unedited, uncensored version here: https://youtube.com/live/DN6tc1FqA9MKamran Pasha (whom I know from his many appearances with Diktor Von Doomcock of DVD Overlord fame) joins for a discussion on the mysteries of Sufism and his new screenplay on the occult life of Marilyn Monroe in Hollywood.Kamran Pasha is a screenwriter, director, and showrunner. He is currently developing a series set in the Ottoman Empire for STARZ, and has sold a drama set in the world of Illuminati conspiracies to Warner Brothers Television.Kamran recently worked as writer-producer on Showtime Network's drama series set in the American military prison at Guantanamo Bay, directed by Oliver Stone. Previously, Kamran served as a writer and co-producer of Showtime's Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated series “Sleeper Cell,” about a Muslim FBI agent who infiltrates a terrorist group. Kamran has also served as a writer and producer on television shows such as“Reign,” “Nikita” and “Roswell, New Mexico” on the CW, and “Kings” and “BionicWoman” on NBC. He also served as head writer for the “Tron: Uprising” animated series on Disney XD. Kamran's movie career launched when he sold his first feature script to Warner Brothers Pictures, an historical epic on the love story behind the building of the Taj Mahal.

In this episode of Rock, Paper, Swords!, Justin Hill and Matthew Harffy talk with historical novelist Carolyn O'Brien about protest, power, and forgotten voices in British history.From the Peterloo Massacre to the rise of fascism in 1930s Britain, Carolyn explores how radical politics, women's lives, and working-class resistance shape her fiction. We discuss writing politically engaged historical novels, the responsibilities of historical storytellers, and why history's margins often hold its most urgent truths.

Wir springen ins 11. Jahrhundert, und sprechen über ein Schwert. Ein Schwert, das nach hunderten Jahren aus dem Fluss Witham in England gefischt wurde, über das wir aber eigentlich sehr wenig wissen. Wir versuchen sein mögliches Leben nachzuzeichnen, und sprechen dabei über Stahl aus Afghanistan, Schwertschmieden im Rheinland und die Bedeutung, die ein Schwert ganz abseits vom Schlachtfeld hatte. //Erwähnte Folgen - GAG158: Al-Biruni und die erste Globalgeschichte – https://gadg.fm/158 - GAG191: Aethelfled - Warrior Queen of Mercia – https://gadg.fm/191 - GAG414: Ibn Fadlān und die Reise zur Wolga – https://gadg.fm/414 - GAG519: Die Warägergarde – https://gadg.fm/519 Literatur - Androshchuk, Fedir.

In Episode 2 of Seeing Tarot, artist Anna Rose Stabler and tarot reader Gina Wisotzky continue their card-by-card exploration of the tarot, beginning in the Minor Arcana and moving slowly through the suits.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 WandsIn this episode, Anna and Gina discuss:The negative space of the Ace of Wands and the fear of open skyFire as both creative impulse and destructive forceThe pressure and impatience that can accompany new beginningsHow snow, illness, and disrupted schedules mirrored Wand energy in real lifeMoving from inspiration (Wands) to intention and structure (Swords)The sword as a forged tool: shaping energy, setting parameters, making decisionsGardening and seasonal planning as embodied Swords practiceSensory correspondences: cold green scents, ginger, roots, foliageThe relational nature of tarot and how one card evolves into the nextThe conversation lingers on initiation not as pure excitement, but as something expansive and at times overwhelming. The Ace of Wands brings spark and desire along with exposure and intensity. The Ace of Swords follows as response: discernment, clarity, and the deliberate shaping of energy into form.Over time, Seeing Tarot walks through the tarot by creating and exploring images together, allowing meaning to emerge through relationship and emerging correspondences rather than memorization.References & InfluencesSeventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel PollackTwin Peaks by David LynchScents & Sensory CorrespondencesAce of WandsFragranceAura by Thierry MuglerGreen and Amazingreen by Comme des GarçonsNatural MaterialFresh ginger rootGinger tea with honeyLush green foliageMineral and concrete accordsEnvironmentCold green airDandelion growing through concreteExpansive open skyAbout the HostsGina WisotzkyThe founder of Incandescent Tarot, Gina has been reading and practicing tarot and the intuitve arts for over two decades.

Andrea shares her intuitive feelings about the fiery nature of this Pisces season, while Emily provides an astrological perspective on how this celestial period is expected to influence both the global stage and personal experiences. They highlighted how various planetary alignments, such as Neptune in Aries and multiple planetary bodies in Pisces, set the stage for significant shifts in emotional and physical realms. They advise listeners to stay grounded and protective of their personal peace during this period of heightened sensitivity and rapid change.   The discussion is complemented by tarot card readings, where the duality of light and shadow is emphasized during this season and how it manifests.

Additionally, they discuss how to navigate financial fears, the need for patience in new ventures, and the potential transformative power of the upcoming Aries energy.

In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by Caroline Durlacher and Mellie Test for a conversation on staying with your magic when it's unclear, inspired by the Eight of Swords. Together they reflect on what it's like to be in a long creative process - where clarity doesn't always arrive on the timeline the mind wants - and how The Magician's Table can function as a container that supports devotion, experimentation, and self-recognition. They explore the tension between money as feedback and the ways it can distort our relationship to magic, while naming the relief and power of letting your practice be emergent: trusting transmission, honoring cave time, and creating without needing permission, justification, or proof.   Topics They Cover: Returning to The Magician's Table twice: resistance, refinement, and the intelligence of coming back Money as feedback vs. money as proof and how tying magic to material success can cloud clarity Devotion to process: luxuriating in the process, experimentation, and letting your work evolve moment to moment Cave time, invisibility, and staying with your magic during unclear or non-linear seasons Self-recognition as the true initiation and claiming you are magical without needing external validation   About Caroline Durlacher: Caroline Durlacher is a former literature & philosophy PhD candidate turned Emergent Business mentor for divergent thinkers & creative visionaries.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore a concept called “poisoning the well” and how it can inconspicuously shape the way we interpret tarot, often before we've even given the cards a fair chance to speak, or ourselves an opportunity to be curious about the card. Poisoning the well can happen when we learn to fear a card before encountering it in its specific context, which makes anything that follows feel threatening, prophetic, or untrustworthy.In tarot, this shows up when cards like The Tower, Death, The Devil, or the Three of Swords are immediately labeled as “bad” or “painful,” which shuts down curiosity, nuance, and the ability to experience deeper reflection.I walk through the three psychological patterns that tend to fuel this kind of tarot bias:First impressions: Where early fear-based meanings stick even when a card's position or context suggests something more layered, or not so literal (e.g. Death).Confirmation bias:  Where we unconsciously look for evidence that supports our fear while ignoring nuance or other contextual factors in a spread.Emotional reasoning: Where anxiety or discomfort becomes “proof” that something bad is going to happen, rather than just useful data about what the card is activating in us. From there, I explore how poisoning the tarot well reduces a card's meaning, turns tarot into rigid labels instead of reflective tools, and leads to avoidance behaviors like reshuffling, pulling endless clarifiers, or abandoning readings altogether. While these reactions may feel protective in the moment, they ultimately reinforce fear and limit growth. Many of the cards we fear most are the ones pointing directly toward the work we need to do: attachment patterns, boundaries, grief, shame, power dynamics, necessary endings, etc.I also share a personal story (aka I talk about reading for my very religious sister) about how religious and cultural conditioning can shape tarot fears - poisoning the tarot well, and how rigid narratives around certain cards can feel genuinely destabilizing if they're never questioned. From there, I offer concrete ways to un-poison your tarot well, including identifying where your card meanings came from, working with somatic reactions instead of avoiding them, asking more specific and grounded questions, and expanding your language around difficult cards through techniques like free association.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to let tarot challenge you. When we stop deciding what a card means before we pull it and get curious about it instead, tarot becomes what it's meant to be: a mirror, an opportunity for philosophical dialogue, and a tool for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. I love when you all leave comments on Spotify or YouTube about your own thoughts on the topic discussed - so let me know your thoughts!

Jeff Hinshaw guides listeners through Leo Full Moon affirmations, creative practices, and somatic awareness while celebrating the global launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot and sharing details about upcoming ceremonial gatherings in Joshua Tree and Brooklyn. ***See links below for more information Also, on this week's podcast episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Leo astrologer Jason Dilts for a rich, embodied conversation under the glow of the Leo Full Moon. Together they explore the Leo–Aquarius polarity as a living practice, where personal radiance becomes a sacred responsibility in service of community. Through astrology, Kundalini yoga, ritual, music, and myth, this episode weaves Jason's Leo Sun–Capricorn Moon–Libra Rising into themes of leadership, discipline, and joyful devotion. Touching on planetary nodes, Neptune's long arc through Aries, and the coming winds of Uranus in Gemini, the Jeff and Jason encourage courage, presence, and participation. While listening to songs, ‘Sad & Beautiful' by Leo Rising Lindsey Mills and ‘The Me in Your Mind' by Leo Rising Hannah Ramone, Jeff and Jason also explore how music can act as a muse to better understand astrology through a creative and embodied lens.  This is then followed by a guided Leo embodiment journey and a closing tarot pull (Knight of Swords). This conversation invites you to move cosmic insight from the mind into the body, as a soulful meditation on creative expression, collective ritual, and loving your life so fully that it animates others.
