In today's episode of The Cosmic Source, we continue the Fool's journey as we explore the Ace of Swords—the card of mental clarity, truth, and breakthrough moments. After receiving the spark of inspiration in the Ace of Wands and the tools of creation from The Magician, the Fool now faces the power of the mind. The Ace of Swords is the cutting edge of insight that slices through confusion and illusion, offering the Fool a clear path forward.We'll dive deep into the symbolism of the sword, its double-edged nature, and how intellect, when harnessed correctly, can lead to spiritual awakening and personal growth. Tune in as we uncover the lessons of mental focus, clear communication, and the courage to make life-changing decisions.

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. 

On Day 2 of our 78-day tarot journey, we embrace the fiery energy of the Ace of Wands—a card of inspiration, passion, and creative potential. Like a match striking in the dark, this card signals the beginning of something powerful, urging us to seize the moment and follow our inner fire.In this episode, we'll explore the symbolism of the wand as a channel for divine energy, the Ace's connection to personal power, and how to harness this spark to fuel new beginnings. Plus, I'll guide you through a meditation to awaken your inner fire and share journal prompts to help you clarify your vision.Are you ready to step into your passion and purpose? Let's ignite the journey.

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:

Well, only 2/4 of this reading are court cards, so it's an improvement, right? March is set to be an intense month as we contend with the pain of endings via the Ten of Swords and the tempting call to enact consequential change through Judgment. Our opportunity card, the Queen of Cups, however, encourages caution; fiery and impulsive moves characteristic of our challenge card, the King of Wands, may further inflame an already difficult situation. Listen in for the entire forecast and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below! This is a public episode.

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!

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.

The seven of wands shows us a young man standing on a hill that ends in a cliff, and what seem to be stick-wielding assailants are coming at him. He doesn't have anywhere to go, as he has been backed into a corner. His only choice now is to stand and fight. The 7 of Wands shows us when we are forced into a position, or forced to make a choice. We are under pressure, or we are put upon by others. This is a card of open conflict, but there is not a fight yet — just the threat of implied violence. All too often the threat of implied violence is enough to make most people behave or acquiesce to our demands. But in this case, this young man has chosen to stand and fight. He doesn't look prepared. He is wearing mismatching shoes. No one knows if this was one of the many accidents pam made in drawing the art — as she said her self that she was underpaid and rushed to completion. But to be fair, Art only wanted the “major” Arcana scene-illustrated, so in some ways she just went over budget — but the fact that she did changed history, and it is too bad how her story played out. But back to this guy . . . in the 7 of Wands we see implied conflict. We are experiencing peer pressure, whether it is an open mob or conversion therapy. We are being hunted, punished, or shamed for not going along with the “group think.” We may have earned this ire (we insulted someone, or we we a menace to society), or this could be any one of the countless cases of being wrongly accused of an action or belief we never took part in.  The seven of Wands doesn't tell us “why” or “what” — it only shows us the consequences of previous actions or general unpopularity. To fully understand this card in a spread we need to know the context in which we are reading. We need to have a question this card answers, or we need other cards that *do* state what happened, and how we go to this place.  Lastly, if this card is the very last card and indicates the final outcome, it implies that someone is getting their comeuppance (whether that is deserved or not), but without another card that shows “how that Tuens out,” it leaves us to believe that justice served is enough information, and that we should ask no more. 

The seven of wands shows us a young man standing on a hill that ends in a cliff, and what seem to be stick-wielding assailants are coming at him. He doesn't have anywhere to go, as he has been backed into a corner. His only choice now is to stand and fight.The 7 of Wands shows us when we are forced into a position, or forced to make a choice. We are under pressure, or we are put upon by others. This is a card of open conflict, but there is not a fight yet — just the threat of implied violence. All too often the threat of implied violence is enough to make most people behave or acquiesce to our demands. But in this case, this young man has chosen to stand and fight.He doesn't look prepared. He is wearing mismatching shoes. No one knows if this was one of the many accidents pam made in drawing the art — as she said her self that she was underpaid and rushed to completion.

Reunited with two of my favorites, Elizabeth McCullough Keenan and Greg Wands to celebrate their latest, Trust Issues. I was so thrilled to chat with them again, way back in COVID we met via Zoom and it was fun from the start! Their latest thriller is full of twists, scams, cons and an unforgettable road trip that will have you guessing until the very last page. We caught up in life- new babies, a real life author rom com, real life inspo for the book, podcasts and so much more. They are a dream duo and I can't wait to see what is to come from them.

The Six of Wands shows us a hero returning from some kind of victory — or this is celebrating his promotion or raise in status. No matter whether this is earned or if it is stolen valor, this card shows someone riding high in life. This is what it is like to be popular, in demand, and having people cheering you on.  This can be a moment in time, like when you receive your diploma at the graduation ceremony for college, or the announcement that you are “employee of the month.” But this can be an event, a circumstance, or an environment. That means that the 6 of Wands as a tarot card in a spread can represent something that is lasting or something that comes and is gone before you are ready for it to fade. The 6 of Wands doesn't tell us what you are popular or famous for, only that you are. Also, it does not tell us how long you are famous. For these answers you need to carefully examine the tarot spread you cast, and compare that to the question you asked. Also, this card shows how exposed you are. As unfair as it is, when you are riding in life, far above the common masses, you are like the United States President John F. Kennedy riding in a convertible in Dallas Texas in November of 1963. His head made an easy target for an assassin's bullet. And as horrific as that event was, it remains a stain on United States history. But this card shows the moment before it all happened, including that guy in the back of the parade who is not happy that someone else gets to ride on a house while he has to walk. This card is both a celebration of popularity and a warning not to trample on others. If you are the only person on a horse, it is your job not to step on people, not their job to move out of your way. There is not a lot of depth to this particular card, but its secrets can be teased out through careful observation and deep rumination. Come join our mystery school at and learn ALL of the secrets of the tarot — not just the superficial ones we reveal to the public. This is a lifelong skill you will benefit from. And we are here to show you the hidden pathways.

The 5 of Wands is a deceptively complex tarot card that deals with the intricacies of social hierarchies and how we all fit in with various groups, don't fit in with others, and what we can expect when we try to manage discordant affairs. While the base art is ridiculously simple, we can glean layers of information from this card by our understanding of sociology and comparing the positions and placements of each participant in this card. The five of Wands shows us a gang of boys on a slight rise, examining each other more than themselves, and seeking either acceptance or validation, but most of the boys do this by looking outward. Only one examines his own place in life rather than seeking the approval of — or a sense of superiority over the others in this group. In todays' session we explore all of this and more. Keywords to study: activity, enthusiasm, disorder, chaos, clown show, youth, youth sports, comparison, uncertainty, seeking acceptance, peer pressure, mob mentality, small groups, discordance, loud noises, inclusion.

This card has a split focus, and it shows us three layers of activity. In the first layer we see that we are looking at a stage. The only thing real are the four sticks and the garland that is tied between the outer two of those.  While the outer two sticks create a frame, the inner two create a narrow gateway that allow one or two people to pass through at a time. This makes this a checkpoint or a border crossing, but this works on a metaphysical scale just as it would on the physical plane. This could just as easily represent the gateway between the human world of awareness and the faerie realm. The four sticks are the tangible part of reality in this card, and we can see that by the horizontal lines that mark the intersection of the stage and the painted curtain that serves as a backdrop for the play. In truth, the entire scene is an illusion. This is both a warning and a goal. The girls welcoming us in and the people dancing in the background — even the bridge — these are all illusory.  These are goals to aspired to, but they also can show how people of wealth and taste lose their way once they have money and they turn their attentions and interests to self-pleasure instead of making their world a better place. This is the intermediate layer, but in the background we have the looming castle that serves as a representation for the nature of this walled garden. Unlike the Ace of Coins, which is a highly personal view of the walled garden, this image shows us the estate or state of affairs for what it is. This is an empire or a civilization. This could be a family or a company, a government, or a region.  This card, taken as a whole, shows us a walled garden at peace and also prosperous. While we are being beckoned to enter, we must leave our baggage behind if we are to pass through the gates, as there is only so much room. Also, we must find a way through the veil that separates our tangible existence from the permanent lands of happiness. And the answers to this are hidden in the courses we teach at The Academy of Divination. Tarot card Keywords for study: parties, welcoming, house warming, celebrations, weddings, square, fixed energy, fortress, family, friends, activity, enthusiasm, generosity magnanimity, brand, branding, market dominance, reliability, inclusion, sunshine.
