142. Enchanting Justice & the Erotic with Tarot Reader Maria Minnis

Welcome to the fourth of 12 episodes where I unshame the houses of the chart with a different guest astrologer for each episode.  My guest is Rebecca Padgett, who started as my student and is now someone I book readings with! To the ancients, the 4th House was called The Subterranean Place. Here we’re discussing how shame can show up in the department of life we call the 4th House, which includes:  the private self living space the foundation of the chart parents / caregivers the family home and hearth lineage, roots, ancestors, land homeland family of origin issues As you can imagine, there is quite a lot of here for excavation. It's bottomless! Just begin wherever you are. Rebecca Padgett is an artist and mystic, who lives in rural Ontario, Canada. Rebecca’s passion is to help guide people to develop their own intuitive and psychic abilities. She uses a range of tools, from astrology, tarot, and energy work, to psychism and mediumship, working with spirit guides and her intuition to support clients on their path through life’s changes and challenges. She is also intensely interested in exploring the area where intuition and creativity meet, be it through intuitive abstract painting or her current work exploring ancestors through found objects and collage. Rebecca enjoys working with the cycles of the seasons, animals, and the night sky, and living in the wide-open, rural landscape, which quiets and expands her mind, allowing her work to grow and change in harmony with the cyclical nature of the world around her.

What the energetic consequences of straining to get someone to understand you? If someone wants to understand you, they will. If someone doesn't want to understand you, they won't. Letting go of the struggle to be understood is an act of love. For yourself and for others. We can only understand someone else's point of view if we currently have the capacity to tolerate another viewpoint. Since we do not have control over another's capacity, we cannot control or manage how they understand us. Woof. This one felt huge.

“Are you mad at me?” “Am I (Are we) ok?”  “I think there’s something I did wrong.”  “There’s something I am supposed to be doing right now.”  “I should have done more.”  “I know I’m right.”  We all know and carry unique frequencies of hypervigilance - bracing for problems and the scanning for threats in the environment and relationship.  My very dear friend Natasha Levinger is also my teacher and energy healer, and she returns to M2M for her FIFTH time to talk about the nuances of hypervigilance. How to notice when we’re in it and identify when we’re likely identifying with the part of us that’s afraid.  This is some powerful material.  Natasha Levinger is a therapeutic intuitive, energy healer, and author of the book, Healing Your Inner Child: Reparenting Yourself for a More Secure and Loving Life. She spends much of her time deep diving into all aspects of spiritual and emotional healing in the searchto uncover patterns that stop us from being all that we are. Sharing those discoveries with others to help them feel free and fulfilled is her passion and life’s work. Natasha is contributing 3 BONUS meditations and responding to Qs in a BONUS Q&A in my fall course Moon to Moon. I am so honored and excited to share her genius and her wisdom with participants this fall. EARLY BIRD IS $100 OFF THROUGH MONDAY, AUGUST 19! Doors close September 3. If you loved listening to me and Natasha riff, there are four more episodes from Moon to Moon: - "Unshaming Your Woo" (my 3rd most downloaded episode of all time) - "Parenting Our Triggers: Aries & Inner Child Healing" - "Healing the Inner Child" - "AIR: Accessing Your Own Voice" (my 2nd guest ever on the show) You can also hear us on Natasha's podcast Getting to Know Woo on the episode "Getting to Know Astrology with Britten LaRue." I was honored to be her first guest! XOXO! What a delight. If you loved this episode, please share it. +++ Podcast music Jonathan Koe. Podcast art Angela George.

I am so proud to be initiating this new series - UNSHAMING THE HOUSES - with my friend Jeff Hinshaw. Let's dive in! To learn more about this project, and more about my work on shame, tune in to the episode right before this one: "Grief is the New Shame." I forgot to mention in the intro that we had had an internet glitch right at the beginning, but I didn't edit it out because it's cute and human. Jeff Hinshaw, the founder of “Cosmic Cousins,” has made several contributions to the world of astrology. A vocal advocate for promoting inclusivity and diversity in the astrology community, he uses his platform to highlight the work of other LGBTQ+ individuals from diverse backgrounds. In addition, through his podcast, Substack, newsletter, and social media, he shares his knowledge of astrology, making it accessible to a wider audience. At the intersection of astrology and spirituality, Hinshaw explores the ways in which astrology can be used as a tool for spiritual growth and connections between astrology and practices such as meditation, yoga, and tarot. Emphasizing the importance of building community, Hinshaw is passionate about creating space to connect using the language of astrology. +++ Click here to invest in any or all of the Unshaming the Signs workshops. +++ Podcast art by Angela George.
