We’ve reached a turning point in the year—the Solstice, when the sun stands still and the earth shifts its breath. It is an invitation to reflect on the light and the dark, the fullness and the stillness, and the stories unfolding in our own lives.
Whether you're basking in the radiance of the Summer Solstice or tending the quiet of the Winter Solstice, this threshold marks more than a change in season. It offers us a moment of cosmic perspective. It circles back to what we’ve planted, what we’ve harvested, and what remains unseen beneath the surface.
In the North, the Summer Solstice brings the longest day of the year, a culmination of growth, expression, and outward movement. In the South, the Winter Solstice invites us into deep rest, quiet contemplation, and the slow work of becoming.
Wherever you are in the world, this is a moment of threshold energy—a chance to ask yourself:
What am I carrying forward with intention?
What am I ready to release or compost?
Where is light returning in my life?
Where am I being called inward?
The Solstice is not about achieving a perfect balance. It’s about honoring the sacred shifts in our own cycles of becoming. It's about pausing long enough to notice: what has changed in me? What is asking to be seen, felt, or tended with care?
You are part of the earth’s breath.
And you are magic.

From The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D. Williams, I pulled the Five of Jugs (upright). This card is a reminder that grief and hope often coexist. This card speaks to what has been lost—and what still remains. It invites gentle self-forgiveness, present-moment awareness, and the courage to look toward what is yet to grow.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What past disappointment am I still holding onto?
How can I honor my grief without letting it cloud the present?
What beauty or connection still remains, even if it looks different than I expected?

Tarot and Astrology
Season 10 · Episode 1
Thursday, June 19, 2025 • Duration 48:07
Tarot & Astrology
Welcome to Season 10 of Every Day Tarot! This season, I’m exploring the rich, magical intersections between tarot and witchcraft—and we’re kicking things off with one of my favorite overlaps: Tarot and Astrology.
What we explore in this episode:
An introduction to astrology and how it aligns with tarot
An overview of the major arcana and their assigned zodiac signs and planetary ruler-ships
A mini tarot spread you can do to explore your sun, moon, and rising signs using the corresponding tarot cards
My personal reflections on being an Aquarius sun (The Star), Virgo moon (The Hermit), and Cancer rising (The Chariot)
How understanding astrological associations can deepen your tarot practice
Although tarot and astrology are often studied separately,
they speak a shared language. The earliest tarot decks contained a lot of planetary and cosmic references—The Sun, The Moon, and The Star cards are some of the clearest examples.
Over time, mystics and philosophers began to notice deeper symbolic parallels, assigning astrological equivalents to each card, especially the major arcana.
King of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 14
Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 25:42
King of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
How the King of Cups teaches us emotional regulation, compassionate leadership, and quiet strength
Symbolism across decks: calm waters, golden chalices, and poised composure
What it means to lead with empathy while honoring your own boundaries
The nuanced power of restraint, strategy, and grounded generosity
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, we close out Season 9 with the King of Cups—our final card in the Suit of Cups. The King represents emotional wisdom earned through experience. He doesn’t run from his feelings, but he doesn’t let them control him either. Instead, he models what it looks like to respond with intention and grace, even in challenging emotional waters.
This is a card of deep presence, thoughtful diplomacy, and service without self-abandonment. The King of Cups reminds us that emotional leadership means holding space for others without losing sight of ourselves. It asks: 'Are you offering support to others from a place of self-respect and clarity, or are you overextending yourself to keep the peace?'
Queen of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 13
Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 24:04
Queen of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Queen of Cups as a card of emotional depth, compassion, and intuitive wisdom
Symbolism across decks: calm waters, container held with care, gentle, steady presence
How this card teaches us to hold space for ourselves and others without drowning in emotional overwhelm
The importance of honoring feelings as sacred, creative, and wise sources of guidance
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, we meet one of the most nurturing, deeply attuned figures in the tarot, the Queen of Cups. This card reminds us that strength doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it hums gently beneath the surface. She sits near the edge of the ocean, but is not pulled in against her will.
The queen's throne is grounded, her cup is full, and she knows when to offer compassion and when to protect her peace. This card asks us to honor our emotional experiences without letting them rule us, and to recognize that deep feeling is not weakness.
Knight of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 12
Monday, June 16, 2025 • Duration 19:46
Knight of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Knight of Cups as a romantic messenger, an emotional risk-taker, and an embodiment of heart-led action
How this card invites us to explore our fantasies, inner landscapes, and dreams
Symbolism across decks: charm, love in motion, knight on horseback, flirtatious energy
What it means to pursue desire and express love in active, embodied ways
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, the Knight of Cups calls us toward vulnerability and intentional pursuit of what moves the heart. Often seen as the most romantic of the court cards, this Knight doesn’t just dream, he acts on his dreams. He makes offers, initiates connection, and takes emotional risks.
Whether he’s chasing art, love, or divine inspiration, he is willing to move with grace even when the outcome is uncertain. This card is a reminder that being emotionally brave isn’t about never feeling fear—it’s about showing up anyway, cup in hand.
Page of Cups

Friday, June 13, 2025 • Duration 38:00
Page of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.

The Page of Cups as an invitation to listen to our inner child, honor emotional honesty, and rediscover the magic in sensitivity
Symbolism across decks: keys, cups, water, intuition, emotional openness, and imaginative play
How feelings like rage, sorrow, joy, and wonder can become fuel for creative acts, activism, and collective healing
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, the Page of Cups invites us to return to the emotional truths we knew as children before the world taught us to suppress them. This card speaks to soulful sensitivity, intuitive insight, and creative expression.
We talk about the joy of playful exploration, the power of emotional courage, and the importance of allowing yourself to feel without shame. Whether you are navigating grief or standing in protest, the Page reminds you that your emotions can be a source of strength and vision.

Ten of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 10
Thursday, June 12, 2025 • Duration 18:34
Ten of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Ten of Cups as emotional wholeness, collective joy, and the vision of belonging
Symbolism across decks: rainbows, contentment, harmony
How idealized images of happiness can both inspire and mislead
Why genuine connection requires space for both delight and discomfort
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, the Ten of Cups invites us into the dream of fulfillment, but not without discernment. It asks us to reflect on the meaning of 'happily ever after.' This card often paints a picture of perfect family, or joyful community. And while that’s a beautiful vision, it’s important to remember that real intimacy includes challenge, conflict, and imperfection.
Harmony doesn't happen by chance, and joy doesn't cancel out nuances, because togetherness shouldn't be performative. It’s built through shared effort, deep care, and a willingness to hold space for the full range of emotion. The Ten of Cups asks: What does wholeness look like when we stop trying to make it look perfect?

Nine of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 9
Wednesday, June 11, 2025 • Duration 08:00
Nine of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Nine of Cups as a symbol of emotional satisfaction, pleasure, and the joy of embodiment
Symbolism across decks: cups arranged like banquet tables, figures at rest, comfort, and fulfillment
Why this card is often called the “wish card” and how it invites us to receive with gratitude
The difference between indulgence and appreciation, and how to recognize when your emotional needs are truly met
An invitation to savor what is, while gently noticing the edges of longing that remain
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, the Nine of Cups brings us into a moment of deep emotional pleasure. Sometimes known as the “wish card,” this energy isn’t just about desires coming true, it’s about being present with the goodness that already exists.
Eight of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 8
Tuesday, June 10, 2025 • Duration 17:08
Eight of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Eight of Cups as a card of emotional departure, necessary endings, and spiritual quests
Symbolism across decks: turning away, cutting losses, and walking away
How to honor grief, clarity, and personal truth when the familiar no longer fulfills
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, the Eight of Cups guides us through the quiet ache of letting go. It’s not just about endings, it’s about choosing to move forward, even when there’s no guarantee of what’s next. This card reflects the sacred pause between loss and discovery, asking: What emotional truth are you finally ready to face? What dream, relationship, or version of yourself are you being asked to release?
Sometimes we stay too long, hoping things will change. The Eight of Cups offers us another option: the path of trusting that something more aligned is waiting, even if we can’t yet see it. Walking away isn’t failure, it’s devotion to your deeper becoming.
Seven of Cups
Season 9 · Episode 7
Monday, June 9, 2025 • Duration 13:10
Seven of Cups
Welcome to season 9 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Cups. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode.
What we explore in this episode:
The Seven of Cups as a portal of illusion, desire, and dream-like confusion
Symbolism across decks: scattered choices, wishful thinking, imagination, uncertainty
The energetic pull between fantasy and grounded action
What it means to want many things at once and how to discern what’s truly aligned
How to listen for truth in the fog of too many options
Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right:
In this episode, we explore the dreamy and often disorienting world of the Seven of Cups, a card filled with possibility, illusion, and emotional overwhelm. This is the card of too many choices and not enough clarity. It paints a picture of a moment filled with visions and temptation—some beautiful, others deceptive. When we are offered too many cups at once, how do we know which one to drink from?
This card teaches us that not every shining thing is for us. We’re invited to pause, sift through our options with clarity, and ask what we’re truly longing for. It also reminds us that dreams require grounded action—wishing alone isn’t enough.

One of the most widely used systems for this comes from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which matched each of the 22 major arcana cards with planets or zodiac signs. These connections add powerful layers of meaning to tarot readings used to explore your astrological birth chart.
In this episode, I referenced the book Tarot and Astrology: Enhance Your Readings with the Wisdom of the Zodiac by Corrine Kenner, which offers a really thoughtful breakdown of these associations. It’s a great read if you’re looking for a framework that blends structure with intuition. This book might be a good place to start!

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington, I pulled the Two of Swords reversed, a card that speaks to mental overwhelm, hesitation, and the pressure of choice. In its upright form, the Two of Swords often represents a moment of stillness—sitting with a difficult decision, weighing two paths, seeking balance. But in reverse, that clarity feels harder to access.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What stories am I telling myself about ‘right’ vs. ‘wrong’ choices?
Am I trying to protect myself by not choosing?
What am I afraid might happen if I did?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Orator (upright). This card speaks to communication and confidence. The Orator reminds us that your words carry weight, but so does your intention. Speaking from a place of grounded emotional awareness helps others hear you more clearly. If you’ve been holding back out of fear or discomfort, now is a good time to write down what you want to say and trust your voice.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What does emotional strength mean to me?
Where in my life am I being called to lead with both heart and mind?
How can I speak up while still staying anchored in compassion?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Scholar (upright). This card represents investigation, study, and thoughtful problem-solving. The Scholar reminds us to approach things with care and curiosity. When emotions feel tangled or life feels unclear, it may be time to step back, reassess, and engage with what’s unfolding from a more reflective place. Wisdom comes not just from knowing, but from listening, researching, and approaching challenges with humility and care.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What might emotional intelligence look like when paired with inquiry and structure?
Where in your life are you being asked to lead with calm, and what must be said out-loud?
Where might I be over-caretaking or losing myself in others’ needs?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Witch (upright). This card is all about experimentation and rebellion. It encourages us to break away from outdated systems, beliefs, or expectations—especially the ones that stifle our emotional truth. The Witch reminds us that magic lives in invention, in questioning the old ways, and in choosing to live authentically. Emotional vulnerability can be its own kind of rebellion. Your heart doesn’t need permission. It just needs practice.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where are you being asked to lead with your heart instead of your logic?
What rituals or traditions no longer feel aligned, and how might you invent your own?
How can you allow your emotions to inspire creativity rather than control your direction?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Hound (upright). This card asks us to examine the commitments we've made, especially the ones rooted in love, protection, or long-standing duty. Are those promises still aligned with your truth? Sometimes what begins as devotion turns into self-sacrifice. Sometimes, keeping our word comes at the cost of our own voice.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What promise have I made that no longer feels good in my body?
Am I being loyal out of love or fear?
Where do I need to choose myself again?

From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Painter (upright). This is a card of productivity, creativity, and the courageous act of turning vision into reality.
The Painter encourages you to embrace your role as a co-creator of the world around you. Just as a mural is built brushstroke by brushstroke, the life you want is shaped by small, daily acts of hope, expression, and presence.
Reflective prompts on this card:
What would it mean to claim what I need, even if others don’t approve?
Where have I let fear of judgment hold me back from taking action?
What would change if I let myself want more, and go after it?

There’s celebration here, but also humility. It invites you to reflect on what has already arrived. It asks you to pause and recognize the sweetness you may have once hoped for, now living quietly in your daily life. A sense of having enough and of being enough.
This card asks: Do you let yourself enjoy what you’ve created? Are you allowing yourself to receive and savor life’s small joys?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Merchant (reversed). Upright, this card is all about Negotiation and Exchange, but reversed, it reminds us of the imbalance that happens when we’re surrounded by takers and not enough givers.
This card invites you to set firm boundaries around your time and energy. You’re not required to be emotionally generous with people who don’t reciprocate.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where in your life do you feel emotionally replenished?
What relationships or habits feel like a one-sided transaction?
What simple pleasure can you give yourself today without guilt?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Dancer (upright). This card is about Self-Revelation and Confidence. The Dancer moves with elegance and conviction, but not without effort. It honors the strength it takes to trust your body, your path, and your intuition.
This card reminds you that even when you don’t feel ready, you can still move forward with grace. It asks: What part of yourself are you reclaiming through this departure?
Reflective prompts on this card:
What emotions have you outgrown, even if you once found safety in them?
Where in your life are you being called to make a brave exit?
How can you honor grief while still trusting your next step?

Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracleby Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Merchant (reversed)—a figure tied to negotiation, reciprocity, and energy exchange. In its reversed position, it warns of people or obligations that take without giving, draining your reserves while offering little in return.
This is a clear echo of the Seven of Cups: not all offers are generous. Not all opportunities are true. You are allowed to walk away from what demands more than it gives.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Which of your current options feel emotionally satisfying and sustainable?
Where are you being pulled in too many directions?
What illusions or fantasies might be clouding your ability to choose clearly?
