Dive into a powerful tarot reading on honoring cycles and releasing old patterns. Join Kate & I as we explore how to use the energy surrounding the Fall Equinox to reflect on and release what no longer serves you. This episode features a unique spread designed to get to the root of a repeating issue and provides actionable steps for real-life change.
Tarot Spread:
1. The Root: What keeps you stuck in this repeating pattern? Remember that even invasive species need optimal conditions to thrive.
2. The Trunk: Is this problem the problem and you need to cut the whole thing down? Or is it a symptom of something that needs to be systemically addressed?
3. The Leaf: What part of the life cycle is this situation in? Ready to be nipped off at the bud? Thriving (whether you want it to or not)? Changing colors and getting ready to hibernate (and then come back)? Or withered and dry and hanging on by a thread - ready to fall off and decompose?
4. The Gardener’s advice: What action do you need to take or stop taking that will help you move from where you are to where you want to be? Maybe you need to build a better habit, set a boundary, or have a difficult conversation.

In this episode, Angie and Kate delve into the transformative power of the Death card in tarot. We explore how this often-misunderstood card signifies not literal death, but rather significant change, endings, and the necessary process of letting go for personal growth.
Drawing parallels with the symbolism of Pluto and the natural cycles of decay and rebirth, we emphasize the importance of surrendering to change rather than resisting it. We discuss overcoming the fear of the unknown and embracing the positive potential that lies within new beginnings.
Through discussions of various tarot cards, including the 3 of Swords, 10 of Wands, 3 of Wands, the World card, the Queen of Cups and King of Wands, we explore how endings pave the way for new opportunities and a deeper understanding of oneself. The significance of self-compassion, making conscious choices, and the gradual journey of becoming one's authentic self is emphasized. The episode also touches on practical techniques like using specific tarot spreads and journaling to gain deeper insights from tarot readings.
The spread used in this episode is The Forest of Rebirth from the Light Seers Tarot Guidebook. The questions are:
1. What needs to end? What patterns of thinking, behaviors, relationships, etc., are in need of closure?
2. The Change – What attitudes or actions will make this process smoother? In what ways am I changing?
3. The Forest of Rebirth – What new potential lies on the horizon of rebirth? What beautiful new beginnings will emerge?

In this episode, we dive deep into the regal realm of the Tarot deck, specifically focusing on the Kings. We embark on a fascinating exploration of what these mature, powerful figures represent in tarot readings.
We begin by setting the stage with personal updates before launching into a "pick your patron" approach to understanding the distinct energies of each King. The conversation unpacks the concept of balancing masculine and feminine principles within the court cards, positioning the Kings as embodying active, logical, and action-oriented energies.
Beyond individual interpretations, we delve into how these Kings can act as guides and advisors in navigating life's journey. We touch upon themes of legacy, the importance of understanding intentions, and finding balance in different energetic expressions. This engaging discussion offers listeners a richer understanding of the Kings of the Tarot and their significance in personal growth and self-awareness.

The Hanged One (episode 28 airs 05/25/25)
Have you ever felt stuck in a situation and find it difficult to make a decision or move forward? You may be having a Hanged One moment. Today the Trio discusses the imagery and energy of this card, number 12 in the Major Arcana. We talk about surrender and sacrifice, and how allowing ourselves to actually feel our emotions can have big effects in all aspects of our lives. There’s also a great two-card spread that we’ll be pulling cards for and comparing our results, so if you have a deck handy join us and see what comes up for you!
Questions to ask yourself to get to know that Hanged One better:
How can I change my approach to the situation that’s making me feel stuck?
here do I need to go hands off and allow things to just happen?
What do I need to let go of so it can end, and the next thing can begin?
Where do I need to take what I’m hearing with a grain of salt?
Tarot Spread -Tarot for Light Seers guidebook by Chris-Anne
Card 1 - Let it Go
Where would I benefit from letting go? Where am I over controlling or clinging too tightly?
Card 2 - Let it Flow
In what areas of my life should I welcome alternative viewpoints
