With so many blazing fires in the world and the constant upheaval in our daily lives, it's easy to get overwhelmed by what we think needs to get done. What protest do I go to? Do I sit and meditate to help the collective frequency? Do I do both? How? What if nothing I do actually affects any kind of change? But the real question is: how can we focus on what feeds and nourishes us? Yes, we must continue to fight for collective liberation. And yes, we have to tend to the daily responsibilities of caring for ourselves and our families, but can we do them in ways that allow us to feel fed by them? Can we reframe washing dishes into a kind of meditation, for example? When it comes to being a human in the world, are we choosing actions that help to create the life that we envision for ourselves? Or are we doing things out of obligation, things that feel like we *should* do? These are questions I'm asking all of us in this week's episode.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I invite you to step away from your Eight of Pentacles bench of productivity and join me on the stone slab with the Four of Swords - a card I kept circling back to while creating a workshop on the architecture of stability. After pulling the Eight of Pentacles (yet again) I realized this card that's been following me around for two months now was in desperate need for a session on the couch. So, I paired these two cards and asked: Why does pressing pause feel so threatening? And what happens when relentless mastery meets restorative stillness? I also brought the Eight of Wands into the mix because I know we have all experienced a sense of urgency when it comes to creating, checking off a to-do list, or simply just by existing.In this episode I touch on:Why rest feels unsafe. First we look at the knight in the Four of Swords with three blades suspended overhead and one tucked beneath him. I talk about how many of us lie down “at the ready,” never fully releasing vigilance. Polyvagal Theory helps us name that jumpy nervous-system state and identify the ventral vagal calm we're craving.How hustle culture rewires worth. Drawing on Juliet Schor's research and Devon Price's Laziness Does Not Exist, we trace the way late-stage capitalism elevates exhaustion to a status symbol, turning the Eight of Pentacles into a bit of a warning sign.The shame spiral of speed. Brené Brown's work on perfectionism meets the Eight of Wands, highlighting our belief that value = how much we accomplish and how fast we deliver. Spoiler: that metric is unsustainable.A values check-in. I share a quick exercise I use with clients comparing an “ideal day” with a so-called “lazy day” to expose how easily we mislabel restoration as failure.Practical invitations. From booking bodywork to choosing a new setting (nature, a quiet room, etc.), I offer ways to step outside the urgent grind and let your nervous system soften into safety.The takeaway: the Four of Swords isn't laziness; it's necessary maintenance. And until our Eight of Pentacles selves learn to lay down the hammer (even briefly) true stability will stay out of reach.Reference material and further reading:Devon Price, PhD — Laziness Does Not ExistBook page (Simon & Schuster): https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Laziness-Does-Not-Exist/Devon-Price/9781797120591 Simon & SchusterAuthor hub / articles: https://devonprice.medium.com/ MediumJuliet Schor, PhD — The Overworked AmericanBook page (Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/Overworked-American-Juliet-Schor/dp/046505434X AmazonFaculty bio (Boston College): https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/morrissey/departments/sociology/people/faculty-directory/juliet-schor.html Boston CollegeBrené Brown, PhD, LMSW — The Gifts of ImperfectionBook page: https://brenebrown.com/book/the-gifts-of-imperfection/ Brené BrownOfficial site: https://brenebrown.comStephen W.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I have a timely and tender conversation with my friend and favorite financial educator Mimi Cirbusova to explore what it means to find stability when the world feels like it's crumbling. Whether it's rising rent, global uncertainty, or emotional exhaustion, we're all navigating something right now. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reimagine what stability looks like for you.Mimi walks us through her Money Mountain framework, and together we explore how tarot (especially the Fours) can help us ground ourselves, soften financial shame, and build emotional resilience in real, accessible ways.✨ In This Conversation, We Explore:Why “stability” looks different than it used to and how to meet yourself where you areHow the nervous system and financial anxiety are deeply connectedThe symbolic (and somatic) energy of the Four of SwordsThe tension between the Four of Pentacles and Four of Wands (survival vs. joy)Reframing saving, spending, and celebrating through a trauma-informed lensHow tarot can soothe money shame and create space for gentler decision-makingWhy community is essential for both emotional and financial well-being

What sparks of guidance illuminate your path through uncertain times? When chaos swirls around us, where do we turn for direction?This episode takes us on a magical journey down a wishing well (!!) to meet artist and oracle Mary Evans (Spirit Speak), who offers a revelatory tarot reading addressing three vital questions: How can we use our creativity to support ourselves and the collective?What specifically do we, as individuals, need to focus on in uncertainty?  And what helps conjure the courage to challenge systems both within and around us?The cards reveal wisdom about pacing, perseverance, and the power of wishes. Wands appear repeatedly, signaling the centrality of creative fire to our current moment. We're reminded that finding courage begins in small alignments with our deepest truths, and that acknowledging when we're overwhelmed and need help isn't weakness but wisdom. Through it all runs the thread of "slow down medicine" – the subversive act of attending to unseen realms in a materialistic world.Mary Evans is a tarot reader, artist, and creator of six self-published tarot and oracle decks. With over a decade of experience, she blends tarot, spirituality, hypnosis, and art to explore the subconscious and navigate change. In this episode, she reads tarot for the collective, offering insight and reflection to help process the times at hand with clarity and resilience.

In May's energetic forecast, Maia's Take, Maia shares that May feels deep.  It's about adulting ( we don't really like this because who wants to adult?- it's hard!) But as Maia explains it's more about adulting in a calm no drama, slightly boring way.  And, you feel accomplished.  There is also the message that runs through all of May which is fear isn't real and everything is fine.  Something becomes clear.  Something that has been troubling you or taking your energy. We also learn that something good is wanting to emerge and come into life but you are afraid of it. Maia pulls a Tarot card - Futility aka the Seven of swords. She shares the message that your fears have nothing to do with reality. Wake up and see what's really happening.  Then she pulls another card, the Princess of Wands. This card says your old fears have lost their power over you.  They're dead remains can not frighten you anymore.  Reflect on your greatest strengths.  Number 5 - completion, you're done with one piece.  Now it's time stop and celebrate that win.  And shout out to Jamie the Great whose birthday is May 18! And the rejection comes up.  You are going to realize why the rejection is redirection or protection.  Plus a bonus - Maia asked for a sign and got a Blue Heron which is our symbol for the month. Share this episode with your friends and family who love to laugh.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I'm stepping back into my music-journalist roots (yes, I share a tidbit of my personal lore in this episode haha) and I'm leaning hard on my therapist brain to do something I've been dying to do: a Jungian-tarot psychoanalysis of Sleep Token's new single, “Damocles.” Beyond dissecting the song itself, this episode journeys into the artist's mind and unpacks the relentless push to outdo one's last creation, highlighting the unique ache of making art under capitalism.In this episode, I look at how a seemingly stripped-down metal track can crack open huge psychological themes of coping with fame, creative and emotional burnout, cognitive dissonance, and the inevitable collapse of any persona. Drawing on Jung's ideas of the Persona and Shadow, I unpack Vessel's lyrics line by line, explore the myth of Damocles, and show how the song mirrors key tarot archetypes like The Tower, The Moon, Seven of Wands, and The Emperor (but specifically The Emperor from the Somnia Tarot with that anvil-over-the-throne vibe).Along the way, you'll hear:Why the song's minimal arrangement is a clever metaphor for longing to return to simplicity amid skyrocketing successHow anonymity and adoration create cognitive dissonance and create emotional whiplashThe inner critic's cameo: “I know these chords are boring, but I can't always be killing the game”A tarot-infused reading of the lyrics that reveal a map from persona collapse to individuation and integrationEven if Sleep Token never hits your playlist, you'll still love hearing a therapist psychoanalyze a song and weave its themes through universal tarot archetypes.So grab your deck, hit play on “Damocles,” and join me for a deep dive where metal meets myth and tarot meets therapy.Want to find out all of the ways you can connect with me live this month?

However, beyond his daily religious work in the abbey at Chester, he was an inquisitive and curious man of his age; traits that can help us understand better why such a figure of Christian piety would come to be buried with a notorious totem of the magical arts.Mythstoric Journeys, the hardback anthology collection from Eli, is available here!Visit thelocalmythstorian.com

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast I'm exploring a delicate identity that many people carry without ever naming: the wounded caretaker. Inspired by a social media trend that says, “I probably just needed a hug, so I became a therapist,” this episode takes a deep dive into the lifelong emotional patterns that develop when we're asked to care for others before we're ready…and before we've been cared for ourselves. In this episode, I unpack the concept of parentification - when a child is placed in the role of caretaker, whether emotionally or physically, and what that does to their developing sense of self. Through the archetype of the ⁠Queen of Pentacles⁠, we examine how this card (often celebrated for her nurturing energy) can also hold shadow traits of burnout, over-functioning, and self-neglect. I explore how tarot archetypes like the Ten of Wands, Page of Cups, Six of Pentacles, The Devil, and The Star offer a rich map for understanding the cycle of exhaustion, grief, and hidden hopes of those who were taught to meet everyone else's needs and neglect their own. I also bring in psychological research and frameworks like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and attachment theory to illustrate how the identity of the helper often masks a quiet desperation to be held, seen, and nurtured. This episode is dedicated to those of you who have always been the “strong one,” the “go-to” person, or the “emotional rock” and who might be quietly wondering: But when will someone take care of me? And just a quick note before we dive in: the phrase “we're all wounded healers” is often attributed to Carl Jung, who did explore the idea that healing often stems from our own pain. That said, the exact quote has been credited to several different folks over time. The first time I heard it was back in 2009, when I was taking classes to become a certified domestic violence counselor, and honestly, it was one of the most validating phrases I had ever heard. It gave me permission to keep moving forward in the healing profession, knowing that I didn't need to be fully healed to help others. That nuance really sits at the heart of today's conversation. ✨ If you've ever felt resentful after giving too much, struggled to ask for help, or found your sense of worth tangled up in how useful you are to others, this episode will speak directly to that wound. I also offer journal prompts, card pulls, and strategies to help you begin the healing process…so you can learn to care for yourself with the same devotion you've shown others. 

To kick off this episode, Rachel shares some exciting updates about her personal life! The PSA girls also discuss how pelvic wands can help reduce pelvic pain and improve function, covering their parameters, indications, and contraindications.

A Rebirth in Business: Realignment, Retrogrades & Raw IntentionIn this short and sweet solo episode, I'm reconnecting with you after a much-needed pause. I light a candle, pull a card from my Rider-Waite deck—the Nine of Wands—and reflect on its powerful message about burnout, boundaries, and being close to completion.With the Aries New Moon, a solar eclipse, and both Mercury and Venus in retrograde, it feels like the perfect time to slow down and realign. I share what's been unfolding behind the scenes—from stepping away from projects that no longer felt aligned, to returning to my roots in holistic interior design.This episode is completely unedited and from the heart. I'm embracing simplicity and authenticity, and I want to encourage you to do the same in your business. I also share a little about my new 90-day one-on-one coaching offer, updates with Design Coven, and exciting ASID events coming up here in San Diego—especially the IP Expo happening on Earth Day (April 22nd), which I'll be moderating.Connect with me on Instagram: @thedesigncovenListen, subscribe and follow me at: Holistic Hospitality Design:

Welcome to another episode of the Cosmic Energy Report! As we step boldly into Aries season, we embrace the fiery momentum of new beginnings, rapid transformation, and the courage to break free from the past. This period is marked by powerful astrological shifts, bringing both breakthroughs and challenges as we navigate a season of action, assertion, and accelerated change. With the final eclipse in the Aries-Libra cycle, Neptune's monumental entrance into Aries, and Venus retrograde stirring deep self-reflection, this episode explores the tension between independence and connection, inspiration and discipline, vision and reality. How do we balance the need to charge ahead with the wisdom to pause and integrate? What long-held patterns are ready to be released as we cross this energetic threshold? We'll unpack how these cosmic movements shape our personal and collective evolution, emphasizing the importance of trusting inner clarity, reclaiming personal power, and aligning with the bigger picture. This Aries season asks us to step into leadership, take bold action, and redefine what true courage looks like. Join us as we explore these transformative energies, offering astrological insights and tarot guidance to help you navigate this potent season with intention, confidence, and an open heart.   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Remote Recharges: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/remote-recharges Direct to Bookings: https://spiritschool.as.me/andrea Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/concreteandcrystals    Connect with Emily Classes and Bookings: https://www.emilyandherstars.com Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60f5b4f9a00fcd52c9f65d4b Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com   Show Notes 00:00 Introduction and Hosts' Welcome 01:24 Recap of March and Upcoming Eclipse 03:00 Energy Shifts and Personal Growth 06:11 Creativity and Collective Impact 12:47 Aries Season and New Beginnings 16:17 Tarot Insights for Aries Season 22:41 Astrological Transits and Personal Reflections 49:49 Spot-On Card Readings and March's Grand Finale 50:10 Blending Tradition with Innovation 50:59 April's Astrological Shifts 51:24 Navigating Retrogrades and Breakthroughs 52:02 Harmonious Sextiles and Emotional Truths 55:01 The Nine of Wands and Persistent Efforts 58:13 Political Comments and Call to Collective Action 01:10:16 Practical Steps and Sustainable Change 01:16:55 Cosmic Tidal Waves and Self-Regulation 01:28:40 Cards and Cosmos: Community Insights

In this episode, Dr. Hardison constructed psychological profiles for each of the court cards in the Wands suit including positive and negative personality traits and a list of psychological conditions she thinks would be most prominent with this suit. These profiles will help us understand the court cards at a deeper level, especially if you often struggle to tell the court cards apart. And at the end of the episode, she shares a 9-card spread that was inspired by the traits and characteristics of the Wands suit called the Journey Navigation Spread.Companion Blog on ⁠healingthrutarot.com⁠ that goes with this podcast episode ⁠click here⁠Affiliate links below - it helps me out a little if you purchase from these links.⁠Your Tarot Court, ⁠The Light Seers Tarot⁠, ⁠Rider Waite Smith Tarot⁠My Novels - ⁠⁠The Divining Sisters Series Novels⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Healing Thru Tarot Spread Ebooks for sale - 5 different spread booksTo purchase my latest - ⁠Healing Thru Tarot Life Path and Purpose spread eBook ⁠⁠click here. ⁠⁠In this 5th spread ebook in the Healing Thru Tarot Spread Ebook line, I include 15 custom spreads I've created to help you identify and align with your life path and sail to success.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I'm continuing the new Tarot Therapy series, where I explore tarot through the lens of therapeutic theories and modalities. In this episode, I'm nerding out about Motivational Interviewing (MI) and the Suit of Wands and uncovering how the fiery energy of Wands aligns perfectly with the psychology of change, motivation, and burnout.At its core, Motivational Interviewing is a therapeutic approach designed to help people work through ambivalence and move toward change. I spend time talking about how the four fundamental MI processes (Engaging, Focusing, Evoking, and Planning) mirror the journey of the Suit of Wands, making this an exciting and dynamic pairing.Join me as I explore how each card in the Suit of Wands maps onto different aspects of MI, using a fictional client case study to illustrate these concepts in action. From the Ace of Wands igniting motivation to the Ten of Wands warning us about burnout, this episode walks you through how tarot can help us better understand the change process.If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of procrastination, burnout, or self-doubt (or if you just want to explore new ways to approach personal growth) this episode is for you! Tune in for a nerdy and insightful blend of tarot, psychology, and practical self-reflection.Want to find out all of the ways you can connect with me live this month?

The eight of wands is easily one of the more confusing cards in the tarot. The visuals are simplistic: eight sticks are seemingly floating in air, and in the background is a small river and a house. The lack of people or determinable action gives this card something of a generic feel,, and as a result forces too many tarot readers to memorize keywords or key phrases in an attempt to make sense of this when this card comes up in a reading. But it is the simplicity and synchronicity of this image that reveals much of its true meaning. This is what we discuss in today's tarot card meaning lesson. notice how each stick is perfectly parallel with each other, and they are all approximately the same distance from the edge of the card. Given the nature of the rest of the sticks in the tarot we can assume (and correctly so) that all of these sticks are of the same or similar length. The variation in their horizontal location implies these were all launched (thrown or catapulted) at roughly the same time, given a slight allowance for human error and strength (force of throw). This implies both a human element, but also organization, teamwork, and a controlling factor such as a leader.  Come join us in our examination of this card and learn why I can mean in any number of instances. All of this and more is available at easytarotlessons.com

We're kicking off the minor threes with OUR favorite, the wands. In the Waite Smith deck, a figure looks over the water to see the ships. And apparently, they have a fanny pack (and jaymi says it's full of snacks). Hilary looks at the card and sees it as a stepping stone moment. Look out to the horizon (big picture) and yet take care of details. Melissa says we can't do this alone. There's teamwork between this figure (Kevin) and the ships in the water. Jaymi says it's time to put the plan into motion and ensure you have enough energy to carry it through.  Homework: Make your friendship bracelets. Grab a fanny pack and fill it with your favorite snacks to enjoy by the campfire. We slingers are hungry. Is anyone else hungry for snacks now?   Deck's Mentioned Jaymi: Deviant Moon Tarot (mini edition) by Patrick Valenzia, (Link goes to the large, borderless tarot); snacks are chocolate cake donuts or Sea Salt Mochi Rice Bites. Hilary: Mystic Dreamer by Heidi Darras and Barbara Moore; snacks are Yodel's. Melissa: The Sasuraibito Tarot by Stasia Burrington; snacks Little Debbie's Unicorn Cakes.   Resources Tarot Coloring Book by Theresa Reed Psychic Tarot by Nancy Antenucci (the NUCC!)
