Astrology & Tarot for August 2021

In this episode, Stephanie and Megan explore the celestial landscape for August. They share how the month begins with a colorful burst thanks to Sun/Mercury Conjunction in Leo, and the potential of big, bold, and fiery ideas radiating forth. They discuss how, at the same time, with the Saturn/Uranus Square joining the mix, we’re called to be both diligent (Saturn) and inventive (Uranus). This theme of big energy and tension between planets continues throughout the month, with the Leo New Moon and a potentially explosive Mercury/Mars Conjunction. They also explore the Aquarius Full Moon, the second in this Leo Season, and how our understanding of creativity and communities may have evolved since late July. Finally, they point out how the month ends with more a focus on grounding as Virgo Season begins. Megan presents the tarot card for the month--the Sun--and how it can be a bright light to help inspire self-expression and new beginnings.

Astrology & Tarot Insights for April 2021

In this episode, Stephanie and Megan discuss the celestial landscape for April, starting with a potentially harmonious beginning to the month with a number of planets in accord and "playing nice together."

They discuss how the last part of the month is a bit all over the map with a whole lot of Uranus shaking things up; it’s a time for breaking out of rote patterns, discovering a greater sense of freedom, and expecting the unexpected.Finally, in keeping with the Uranian vibe, Megan picks a Tarot card at random, the King of Wands; she shares how the lesson it has for us this month is the power we can feel by standing more in our personal sovereignty.

Astrology & Tarot Insights for November 2020

In this episode, Stephanie and Megan explore November’s celestial landscape, and how this is, once again, another month of big change.

We look at the mid-month Jupiter/Pluto Conjunction, discussing how this planetary alignment has given us the opportunity all year to dig in deeper and explore our shadow side, ultimately finding the deeper treasures of transformation. Plus, seemingly never-ending Mars Retrograde will finally come to a close, giving wings to our forward movement at last. And Megan shares the Tarot card for the month, the Five of Wands, reminding us of that change is often a chaotic process, but that it’s in the chaos that growth happens.

Astrology & Tarot Insights for October 2020

In this episode, Stephanie and Megan explore the astrological landscape for October, discussing how it’s a powerful month for transformation. Pluto is a key player, as it goes into direct movement at the beginning of the month, igniting the themes of power and control, and inviting us to look at our personal shadow, as well as that of the collective. Between Pluto making connections with numerous planets and Mercury beginning its retrograde cycle in Scorpio mid-month, we’re called to dive below the surface to mine buried treasures. We also discuss how Halloween this year may be an even more soulful time owing to a Blue Moon (the second Full Moon in October) that occurs that day, which could bring unexpected and out-of-the-blue moments. Plus, Megan shares how it’s the Death card of the Tarot that can guide us to release the outworn, and to call in a deep and powerful rebirth.
