104: Cosmic Energy Report - Taurus 2026

In this episode, Emily and Andrea dive into the aftermath of Aries season and prepare you for Taurus 2026. All this chaos might actually be working! The political absurdity, the nonstop news, the global upheaval... it's making it harder for people to look away, and that's where the hope is. We'll explore how humor, satire, and cross-cultural solidarity are shifting the collective consciousness, and Andrea draws a fascinating comparison between NASA's Artemis astronauts and the Titan submersible that really puts things in perspective. Then the conversation shifts to Taurus season, with Uranus leaving Taurus after seven years of disrupting everything from financial security to personal identity. Emily frames this moment as a chance to rebuild your foundations on more stable ground. We’re not going to be able to hustle the rebuilding so do what you can through steady pleasure, and trusting your instincts instead of doubling-down on quick fixes. The pandemic years stripped people of their ability to simply enjoy life, and this Taurus season invites a reclamation of beauty, whimsy, and presence. Andrea's tarot pulls reinforce this arc, all pointing toward honest self-reckoning, balanced giving and receiving, and steady incremental action. This is captured in the Zen proverb "chop wood, carry water" as the spiritual practice of ordinary life.   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome And Setup 00:26 World Events And Fast Energy 03:06 Absurd Politics And Media 08:31 Hopeful Turning Points 13:46 Judgment Card Week 18:07 What Taurus Season Means 21:48 Uranus Wraps Taurus 24:45 Key Dates April 19-25 27:55 Curiosity Over Panic 29:49 Six Of Pentacles Balance 34:33 Scorpio Full Moon Truths 37:24 Knight Of Pentacles Pace 40:44 Seasonal Rhythm And Burnout 41:52 Slow Down to Level Up 42:38 Mars Square Jupiter Tension 43:42 Mercury Pluto Shadow Talk 44:30 Pluto Retrograde Community Audit 45:12 Third Quarter Moon Reset 46:23 Hierophant Values and Leadership 52:04 Sun Mercury Clarity in Taurus 53:42 Mars Chiron and New Moon 58:54 Two of Cups Connection Days 01:01:42 Gemini Shift and New Momentum 01:06:41 Chariot Lessons on Rest 01:10:15 Birthdays and New Offerings 01:16:08 Creative Plans and Farewell Visit emilyandherstars.com for readings, workshops, and updates. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review Things That Make You Go Woo to help others find the magic. ✨ Share this episode with a friend who’d love some cosmic clarity.
