In this episode, I'm chatting with Kir Beaux, (they/ them), who is an Afro-Indigenous, Trans, Non-Binary Queer, psychic witch, and spiritual counselor. Kir offers Spirit channeling sessions and education via Pink Opal Magic. We talked all about The Emperor tarot card and how it is associated with Aries season, but reframed outside of the restricting patriarchal, capitalistic framework of the past. Rather than seeing The Emperor as this energy of authority, patriarchy, and being in charge of others, let's shift our focus to the true energy of Aries: inner, soul fire and taking up exactly as much space as we are meant to. We also touched on Kir's own tarot practice of reflection, checks and balances, and working with their guides for clarity.

In this episode, I'm deep diving into what astrology is, how to read your own birth chart, and why your birth chart can help you in all areas of your life. We're talking about the planets and luminaries, the twelve signs of the zodiac, the twelve houses, and how they can combine in infinite ways to reflect who you are as a person. Learning about my own moon sign many years ago, and then the rest of my chart, has quite literally changed my life. It's given me so much more self-awareness and understanding of and compassion for my tendencies, triggers, and needs. I hope it can do the same for you!

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of Imbolc, the Irish festival of the goddess Brighid and the harbinger of spring! This is perhaps one of the most overlooked festivals in the Wheel of the Year, but I love its quiet subtlety. Imbolc is associated with the agricultural instances of the first lambs and ewe's milk in the late winter and very early spring, which can be difficult to relate to in our modern, 21st century lives. But this halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox actually calls us to do the last deep inner work of the winter before we move fully into action and intention-setting in the spring, so it serves an important spiritual purpose. In the northern hemisphere, Imbolc always occurs during Aquarius season. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Aquarius and full moon in Leo, activating this axis of individuality and the collective. At the opposite end of the year, Lammas occurs during Leo season. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but Imbolc and Lammas always activate this Leo-Aquarius axis. Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and how to celebrate Imbolc.

In this episode, we are talking all about the meaning of the winter solstice, also known as Yule! This is the Norse and Germanic pagan precursor to our modern Christmas. The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun is at its lowest point in the sky. This is the darkest part of the year, a time considered sacred by cultures all over the world from Europe to South America to Africa. Many secular Christmas traditions are actually pagan in origin, such as decorating trees and evergreen garlands, drying orange slices, cooking with spices, hanging up lights and singing songs. All of these festivities have a common theme of bringing light to the darkness - metaphorically or literally. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice always occurs when the sun reaches 0 degrees of Capricorn. It also occurs within a few weeks of the new moon in Capricorn and full moon in Cancer, activating this axis of structure and support. At the opposite end of the year, the summer solstice occurs at the start of Cancer season in June. In the southern hemisphere, these are reversed, but the solstices always activate this Cancer-Capricorn axis. Listen to learn all about the history, themes and symbolism, and astrology of this festival and how to celebrate the winter solstice.
