Welcome to Part Two of the July Monthly Tarot Forecast.After an unexpected Mercury Retrograde recording mishap, these readings arrived twice—and somehow, that feels perfectly aligned with July's medicine. This month isn't about forcing the destination. It's about learning to ride the current.In this episode, I share intuitive tarot and archetypal guidance for:Cancer ♋ Queen of Pentacles & The Empty RoomLeo ♌ Nine of Pentacles & The SeedVirgo ♍ Knight of Swords & AgapeLibra ♎ The Tower & The KissScorpio ♏ Nine of Wands & The MirrorSagittarius ♐ Eight of Swords & The DestroyerCapricorn ♑ The Hanged Man & The OneAquarius ♒ Two of Swords & The CastlePisces ♓ The Temple & Page of PentaclesAries ♈ Four of Swords & The MotherTaurus ♉ King of Pentacles & The Fault LineGemini ♊ Page of Swords & The Stone

The energy shifts this week from the restorative embrace of The Star into the electric spark of the Ace of Wands—but not without resistance.In this episode, we explore why inspiration, desire, creativity and even love can feel both exciting and uncomfortable at the same time. What if the thing you're longing for is already arriving... and the real work is allowing yourself to receive it?We talk about:Why July feels like an energetic pivot pointThe Ace of Wands reversed and what it reveals about our relationship to desireThe hidden ways we limit joy before life doesThe wisdom of "May it be infinite while it lasts."Why your body is your most sacred instrumentNavigating this powerful astrological weekend without fearLearning to trust that the Universe is co-creating what's nextThis week is an invitation to stay one breath longer with what feels alive.✨ The universe may be building something even bigger than you can currently imagine.

June asked us to let the tower fall. July asks us to rest.In this first part of the July forecast, we explore the medicine of The Star and The Chariot—two cards that remind us that healing isn't only about effort. Sometimes it's about allowing ourselves to be restored.This month invites us into a deeper trust: trusting that what isn't unfolding may be just as loving as what is, trusting the currents that are already carrying us, and remembering that the universe may be protecting a future that's even more aligned than the one we've imagined.Inside this episode we explore:✨ Why July feels like a month of restoration after June's intensity✨ The surprising question: Why would I want something the universe doesn't want for me?✨ The deeper meaning of The Star as nourishment, replenishment and being held✨ The mystery of The Chariot and the power of effortless movement✨ Cardinal Cancer energy and emotional leadership✨ The difference between forcing and magnetizing✨ Human Design "half channels" and mutually beneficial relationships✨ Why July favors collaboration over isolation✨ Condor medicine, wu-wei, and riding the thermal winds instead of exhausting yourself✨ Making room for wishes to arrive by trusting divine timingIf June rearranged your foundations, July helps you settle into what remains—and discover what wants to grow from there.✨ Individual zodiac readings will be released separately in Part Two.

This week’s tarot forecast carries us out of June and toward July with the medicine of The Star.After the intensity of The Tower and the choices of The Lovers, this week feels like an exhale: a moment of replenishment, recovery, and remembering that you are not doing this alone. In this episode, I explore what it means to let your system recalibrate after a season of high voltage, where your energy may be leaking, and how to begin listening for the places that are asking for a reset rather than more effort.We talk about:The Star card as recovery, replenishment, and soul-level restorationHow Tower energy shows up when there’s more energy moving through your life than your current systems can holdThe difference between fixing, rerouting, releasing, and simply allowingWhy this moment may be asking you to look honestly at your resources, energy output, and supportThe invitation to rest, receive, and trust that your wish has been heardMasculine lineage, safety, and the surprising ways support can arriveWhy the end of June and the beginning of July may feel like one continuous energetic thresholdThis is a conversation about replenishment after intensity, about the support that exists beneath you even when you can’t quite see it, and about learning to receive what’s already trying to come in.If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

Something has shifted.After last week's Death card energy, this week's Nine of Wands invites us into a different relationship with ourselves, our exhaustion, and the stories we've been carrying. What if the collapse wasn't a failure? What if it was simply the completion of a process that no longer needed to continue?In this episode, we explore the house of cards that has fallen away, the surprising wisdom hidden inside fatigue, and the possibility that life may be asking less of your effort and more of your trust.We talk about:✨ Why endings are often invitations rather than losses✨ The difference between vigilance and true resilience✨ The "Wounded Warrior" archetype and what it asks of us now✨ Trusting yourself enough to stay open to possibility✨ The support, collaboration, and community trying to find you✨ New Moon in Gemini themes of voice, connection, and curiosity✨ Why this may not be a battle anymoreThe invitation this week is simple:What if you don't know how this story ends?And what becomes possible when you stop preparing for disappointment and start making room for surprise?If this episode resonates, share it with a friend, leave a rating, and follow the podcast so you never miss a weekly energy update.Connect with Kirsten:Instagram: @givingmysticalWebsite: GivingMystical.com#tarot #weeklytarotreading #spiritualgrowth #healingjourney #personaldevelopment #newmooningemini #intuition #consciousliving #mysticism #givingmystical

This week’s tarot card is Death—and despite its reputation, this is not a card of endings for the sake of endings. It’s a card of resurrection.As we continue moving through the powerful Lovers + Tower energy of June, many of us are feeling both intensely full and strangely empty at the same time. The system is expanding. Old structures are straining. Plans are shifting. Desires are intensifying. And somewhere beneath it all, something new is trying to emerge. In this episode, Kirsten explores:✨ The energetic intensity of June and why flexibility matters now✨ Saturation, overflow, and expanding your capacity to receive✨ Why some dreams, habits, and narratives may be collapsing✨ The Death card as resurrection rather than loss✨ How "house of cards" structures reveal what is no longer authentic✨ The alchemical lesson of working with the material actually on the table✨ Trusting that every detour, distraction, and delay serves a purpose✨ The possibility that something significant is being reborn this weekThe invitation is simple: slow down, stay present, and trust the transformation unfolding beneath the surface.Life may be changing shape faster than expected—but that doesn't mean you're off the path.#TarotReading #DeathCard #WeeklyTarot #SpiritualGrowth #Transformation #Mysticism #TarotPodcast #PersonalGrowth #TarotCommunity #SpiritualAwakening

June arrives carrying a powerful invitation: activation.This month brings together two of tarot's most transformative archetypes—The Lovers and The Tower—creating a potent combination of choice, expansion, awakening, and profound personal growth.In this episode, we explore:✨ The deeper meaning of The Lovers card beyond romance✨ Why June may feel like a crossroads or fork in the road✨ The spiritual significance of union and individuation✨ The Tower as a surge of life force, not simply disruption✨ Wish fulfillment, manifestation, and the question: Are you ready to receive what you've been asking for?✨ Crown chakra activation, expanded perception, and intuitive awakening✨ What your body may be trying to communicate right now✨ How to stay grounded while life asks you to growPlus, individual tarot and animal spirit readings for all twelve zodiac signs.The energy of June suggests that many of us are preparing to receive something we've been calling toward for a long time. The invitation is not simply to wish for it... but to become the version of ourselves capable of holding it.What if the thing you've been asking for is closer than you think?#Tarot #JuneTarotReading #TarotForecast #SpiritualAwakening #TheLovers #TheTower #Manifestation #EnergyUpdate #TarotPodcast #SpiritualGrowth

The Queen of Swords arrives this week with one message: get clear.In this episode of the It’s Giving Mystical podcast, we explore the energy moving us out of emotional fog, distraction, fantasy, and indecision — and into radical clarity, truth, and self-authority.This is a threshold week.A week for powerful decisions.A week for cutting through the noise and asking:What is actually true for me now?Kirsten unpacks the transition out of the Ace of Wands and Hanged Man energy of May and into the potent frequencies of June: The Lovers and The Tower. Together, these cards point toward major choices, energetic expansion, and the restructuring of systems that can no longer hold who you’re becoming.This episode explores:The Queen of Swords as the archetype of internal authorityWhy clarity can feel both liberating and uncomfortableEmotional fantasy vs. aligned truthThe habits, dynamics, and distractions that may need to endGemini energy, communication, and precisionWhy June’s energy is asking for decisive movementThe paradox of discipline and easeIf you’ve been craving clarity, direction, or the courage to finally move differently, this episode is for you.✨ Listen to the end for insight into June’s powerful Lovers + Tower energy and the deep transformations already beginning to unfold.#tarot #tarotpodcast #queenofswords #weeklytarotreading #tarotforecast #spiritualpodcast #mysticism #shadowwork #selfdevelopment #geminiseason #thelovers #thetower #spiritualgrowth #tarotcommunity #itsgivingmystical

Something shifts this week.In this episode of It’s Giving Mystical, we move from the fiery awakening of the Ace of Wands into the deep reversal energy of The Hanged Man — a card of surrender, truth, attunement, and irreversible perspective shifts.Kirsten explores what happens when the body begins recognizing truth before the mind can explain it. This episode is a meditation on authenticity, desire, discernment, nervous system resonance, and learning to trust the quiet knowing inside yourself.There’s a strong theme here around reversal:What can no longer be sacrificed.What can no longer be desecrated.What your body simply refuses to abandon anymore.This conversation weaves together tarot, somatics, embodiment, desire, revolution, Zelda references, truth as resonance, and the strange sacredness of becoming more fully yourself.✨ Themes explored:The Hanged Man tarot meaningReversal, surrender & energetic shiftsTruth as a somatic experienceThe body recognizing alignmentDesire, appetite & authenticityWhy “feeling good” matters spirituallyNervous system discernment in relationshipsSacred embodiment & personal revolutionTrusting what you know without explaining itIf this episode resonates, share it with someone moving through a major energetic shift.#thehangedman #tarotpodcast #spiritualpodcast #weeklytarotreading #embodiment #healingjourney #consciousness #mysticism #tarotreader #personalgrowth #divinefeminine #authenticity #itsgivingmystical

The Ace of Wands arrives this week like a spark returning to the body. A remembering. A reawakening. A reminder that you are not done yet.In this episode of It’s Giving Mystical, we move through the energetic arc from the Ten of Wands to the Seven of Wands and into the life-giving warmth of the Ace of Wands — the tarot card of vitality, desire, inspiration, creativity, sensuality, and renewed life force. Kirsten explores what it means to release outdated identities, soften scarcity around joy and love, and open the gates to more aliveness.This conversation weaves together tarot, embodiment, grief, motherhood, boundaries, desire, nervous system safety, and the deep permission to feel good again.If something in your life is beginning to awaken… this episode is for you.✨ Themes explored:Taurus New Moon energy & “new beginnings”The Ace of Wands as vitality, eros, and inspirationReleasing old identities and scarcity thinkingBoundaries, openness, and safe connectionFeeling more alive in your bodyMotherhood, grief, tenderness & nervous system regulationWhy pleasure and aliveness are sacredLearning to trust there is more available for youIf this episode resonates, share it with someone walking through their own reawakening.#tarotpodcast #aceofwands #taurusnewmoon #spiritualpodcast #tarotreading #mysticism #selfdevelopment #embodiment #divinefeminine #healingjourney #personalgrowth #energyupdate #consciousness #itsgivingmystical

There’s something fascinating happening collectively right now… a strange nostalgia for the quiet of quarantine, for sourdough and slow mornings and being forced back into ourselves. In this week’s episode of the It's Giving Mystical, we explore what that longing might actually be pointing toward: the body’s pacing, the sacredness of ordinary life, and the deep human need for space to simply be. The tarot card for the week ahead is the reversed Seven of Wands — a card of boundaries, energetic space, and the tension between self-protection and connection. This week asks: what happens when you stop fighting so hard to defend your peace and begin trusting the safety you’ve already built? What if the gates could open a little? We talk about hypervigilance, nervous system contraction, embodiment, authenticity, and the possibility of letting yourself be seen without abandoning yourself. There’s a softer invitation moving through this week — one that says you don’t need to over-control everything in order to remain safe. You may actually be ready for more connection, more spaciousness, and more ease than you realize. ✨ In this episode:Why people are suddenly nostalgic for lockdownThe body’s relationship to safety, pacing, and spaciousnessReversed Seven of Wands energy for the week aheadHypervigilance vs. grounded boundariesOpening the gates to connection without losing yourselfSomatic awareness and tracking tension in the bodyLetting yourself be fully seen in your uniquenessWhy “safe” and “connected” no longer need to oppose one anotherIf this episode resonates, you can explore deeper work with me inside Mystic Rising or reach out about private sessions and Shaman School.✨ Connect with me:Instagram: @givingmysticalWebsite: Giving Mystical#tarot #sevenofwands #tarotpodcast #spirituality #embodiment #nervoussystem #healingjourney #mysticism #archetypes #weeklytarotreading #collectiveenergy #selfdevelopment #tarotreader #energyupdate #sacredfeminine #podcast #shadowwork #intuition #consciousness #personalgrowth

This month feels big. Like… quietly revolutionary.We’re working with the energy of the The Hierophant and The Devil—two archetypes that, on the surface, couldn’t be more opposite. One represents the sacred, the institutional, the “this is the way.” The other holds the body, desire, instinct, the things we’ve been taught to question or even reject.But what I’m seeing for May is something different.These energies are inverting.What we’ve been told is sacred… may not be.What we’ve dismissed as profane… might actually be where the life is.There’s something here about holding opposites—really holding them—without rushing to resolve them. And in that tension, something begins to shift. Something new emerges. A deeper truth, maybe. Or just a more honest one.This shows up collectively—in our relationship to institutions, authority, and what we’ve trusted without question. And it shows up personally—in our bodies, our desires, our choices, and the quiet ways we’ve outsourced our own knowing.One of the strongest threads this month is the body.Not as something to manage or override, but as something sacred. Intelligent. In conversation with you at all times. There’s an invitation here to listen differently—to let your body lead, even when it contradicts what you’ve been taught you “should” want or do.This might also bring up questions around desire.What you actually want… versus what you learned to want.And whether those are even the same thing.There’s a kind of unraveling happening.But it doesn’t feel destructive—it feels like truth.Like something that’s been upside down for a long time finally turning right side up.So for May, the practice is simple (but not easy):Stay with the tension.Get curious about what you believe is sacred—and why.And most importantly, listen to your body.It knows.Zodiac readings begin about two-thirds of the way through for each sign.

This week’s energy is a powerful threshold moment... moving out of April and into May, from mid-spring into the beginning of summer, and into a deeply transformative energetic shift.We’re working with the 10 of Wands, and the message is clear:you are being asked to release what you’ve been holding onto… even if it once felt good.This is a week of noticing where you are gripping, carrying, or over-identifying with something that has already completed its cycle. Old inspirations, past versions of yourself, relationships, identities, creative expressions; anything you’re holding because it once lit you up.The truth?Not everything that was once alive is meant to be carried forward.In this episode, we explore:The deeper meaning of the 10 of Wands and why “too much” shows upHow attachment to past passion, identity, or success creates energetic stagnationThe difference between honoring something vs. holding onto itWhy desire is a portal (not a destination)How following your aliveness shifts your entire trajectoryThe courage it takes to trust that letting go creates space for something newReframing “burden” vs. conscious choice in your lifeThis is a week to loosen your grip, trust the unfolding, and follow what feels alive now.You are not here to carry your life.You are here to move with it.✨ Work with me:Mystic Rising (now moving into the Mother archetype)Private sessions opening in MayShaman School (next cohort coming)

This is a special (and very fun) unedited episode of It’s Giving Mystical... recorded on Take Your Child to Work Day with a very special guest: my daughter, Lilah.Together, we pull cards for the younger generation... looking at what’s unfolding this week for Gen Z, especially around big decisions, truth coming to light, and the pressure of choosing what’s next.The energy of Judgment leads the conversation, bringing themes of revelation, honesty, and moments you can’t unsee. This is about truth surfacing personally, socially, and collectively and what it means to move forward once it does.We also explore:the emotional weight of college decisions and “no turning back” momentshow judgment, both internal and external, shapes this time of lifethe reality of uncertainty, loneliness, and change (and why it’s actually part of the path)why no decision is final, and everything continues to evolveWith a few bonus pulls on prom, graduation, and what’s ahead, this episode is equal parts insight, humor, and real conversation across generations.There’s something deeply honest here about growing up, making choices, and learning to trust yourself even when you don’t have all the answers.Listen to this episode when you need:– clarity around a big decision– reassurance that uncertainty is part of the process– perspective on judgment and outside opinions– a reminder that nothing is as fixed as it feelsLet this one be light, real, and a little bit revealing.

Feeling stuck, frustrated, or like nothing is moving? This week’s tarot message explains why and what’s actually unfolding beneath the surface.This episode is a deep dive into the Four of Cups and the subtle but powerful shift from stagnation into movement. We explore the collapse of external authority and the return to your own internal knowing... your body as your compass, your truth as your guide.There’s something here about emotional looping… about looking at the same situation, the same options, the same story, and trying to force clarity. But the invitation this week is to soften. To release the grip. To let yourself feel what’s present without needing to resolve it immediately.Because what if you’re not stuck?What if something is actually moving, just not in the way you expected?With the Four of Cups appearing in reverse, there’s a quiet opening. A sense that something that has felt stagnant is beginning to shift. That the ache, the longing, the confusion… is finding its way back into flow.This episode also touches on the importance of trusting your body over polished language; how something can sound “right” but feel off, and how your system is always reading the deeper truth. Your authority lives there.And beneath all of it, a reminder: you were never abandoned in the waiting. There is movement happening. There is something being prepared. And you are allowed to meet it without force, without urgency...just presence.Let this be a week where you feel what’s true without attaching to outcome… and trust that what’s meant for you is already on its way.And PS sorry for the long pauses, my house and dogs were wild during this recording! ;-)

This week brings a subtle but powerful shift.With Mars now direct, something in your body is waking back up—your energy, your clarity, your sense of direction. And paired with the Ace of Pentacles, we’re stepping into a moment of receiving… but not in the way you might expect.This isn’t the full picture.This is the seed.In this episode, we explore how to recognize and honor what’s being placed in your hands right now—even if it feels incomplete, unexpected, or slightly unclear.Because something is taking shape.And your only job?Stay with what’s here.✨ In this episode, we explore:What Mars direct in Aries is reactivating in your body and lifeThe energy of the Ace of Pentacles as a living seed (not a finished outcome)Why “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” is the message of the momentHow to work with desire without rushing ahead or forcing certaintyThe power of “next right step” instead of needing the full pathWhy the subplots of your life hold the real gold right nowThere’s something here for you.Even if you don’t fully understand it yet.Let it be simple.Let it be enough.Let it grow.

This week’s energy brings fast movement, powerful communication, and a surprising amount of misinterpretation—and that’s not a problem, it’s part of the medicine.We’re in an Eight of Wands week, where things are in motion, messages are flying, and energy is building… but what’s landing isn’t always what was sent.This episode explores:Why communication is inherently imperfect (and why that’s actually beautiful)The difference between headline moments vs. quiet, soul-level victoriesHow to navigate multiple layers of perception without losing yourselfThe tension between potential vs. reality (and where we get stuck)What it means to release control after you’ve expressed yourselfHow to stay open, grounded, and discerning in fast-moving dynamicsThere’s something really alive here—connection, momentum, possibility—but only if you’re willing to:feel more, react less, and let things fully land before deciding what they mean.This is a week to:✨ Speak—even if it’s imperfect✨ Listen—beyond just the words✨ Let go—of controlling how you’re received✨ Notice—what actually feels meaningful (not just what looks important)There is something deeply human, messy, and beautiful unfolding right now.And it’s worth participating in.

This week carries a strange mix of momentum and miscommunication. Even with everything technically moving forward, things may feel… off. Messages missed. Meaning lost in translation. Energy slightly scrambled.And instead of rushing to fix it or assuming the worst, there’s an invitation here:slow down, soften, and give people (and yourself) the benefit of the doubt.Because underneath the noise, something deeper is happening.The Six of Wands arrives as a “victory” card—but not in the way we usually think. This isn’t loud, obvious, celebratory success. This is quieter. Subtler. A rearranging. A recalibration.This week asks:What does winning actually feel like to you?And at what cost have you been taught to achieve it?There’s a difference between external victory… and internal alignment.You may notice:Conversations that feel slightly misaligned, but meaningfulPeople trying to connect, even if it’s imperfectMoments of clarity around your boundaries and capacityA deeper awareness of what actually feels good vs. what looks goodThe real invitation this week is to pay attention to the subplots—the quieter moments, the felt sense, the spaces where you feel nourished, connected, and alive.That’s your compass. That’s your version of success.And if something feels unclear or uncertain?Pause. Don’t force it. Don’t invite it in just yet.There is so much support right now for building a life that genuinely feels good to live.Not impressive. Not performative.True. Aligned. Alive.Let this week be about noticing what that feels like—and choosing more of it.

This month feels big. Like… quietly revolutionary.We’re working with the energy of the The Hierophant and The Devil, two archetypes that, on the surface, couldn’t be more opposite. One represents the sacred, the institutional, the “this is the way.” The other holds the body, desire, instinct, the things we’ve been taught to question or even reject.But what I’m seeing for May is something different.These energies are inverting.What we’ve been told is sacred… may not be.What we’ve dismissed as profane… might actually be where the life is.There’s something here about holding opposites- really holding them- without rushing to resolve them. And in that tension, something begins to shift. Something new emerges. A deeper truth, maybe. Or just a more honest one.This shows up collectively... in our relationship to institutions, authority, and what we’ve trusted without question. And it shows up personally... in our bodies, our desires, our choices, and the quiet ways we’ve outsourced our own knowing.One of the strongest threads this month is the body.Not as something to manage or override, but as something sacred.

April arrives with a powerful invitation:to slow down, take stock, and choose alignment over urgency.This is a month where the material world (Emperor) meets the mystical (Temperance)… where structure and surrender begin to speak to each other—even if they don’t fully understand one another yet.If you’ve been feeling pressure, overwhelm, or like something is shifting beneath the surface… you’re not wrong. This episode explores how April’s energy is asking you to clarify your yes, honor your no, and trust the transformation happening within you—even if you can’t yet explain it.We move through:The deeper meaning of alignment in 2026 (and why it may not feel easy)The Emperor’s call to boundaries, responsibility, and clean energyThe Temperance card as alchemy, patience, and unseen transformationWhy this is not the month to rush or fill spaceHow your inner work is beginning to show up in real, tangible waysThe energetic shift from doing → being → becomingThere is something changing in you.Something refining. Something reorganizing your relationship to your life.And April asks you to trust it.We close with intuitive tarot + oracle readings for each zodiac sign.Key Themes This MonthAlignment • Boundaries • Alchemy • Patience • Integrity • Sensual Presence • Inner TransformationA reminder for April:You don’t need to add more.You don’t need to force clarity.You don’t need to rush what is still becoming.Let the shift happen.Let yourself meet your life… as someone new.

This week’s tarot reading points to the Two of Pentacles—a moment of overwhelm, resource management, and the strange, disorienting feeling of doing everything… and still not quite landing anywhere.If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, emotionally dry, or like you can’t quite “catch up” with your life—this episode names that energy clearly.There’s a deeper invitation here around self-reliance vs. isolation, learning how to hold your world without carrying it alone, and noticing where your energy is being overextended.This isn’t chaos. It’s not collapse.But it is a kind of pressure… a quiet, persistent weight asking you to rebalance.In this episode, we explore:The Two of Pentacles and why this week feels like a treadmill you can’t step offThe emotional tone of disconnection, depletion, and subtle lonelinessHow hyper-independence and “handling it all” might be draining youWhy this energy can feel dry, uninspired, and stripped of magicA gentle reframe: this is a reorganization of your resources, not a failureHow to soften the weight—through nature, presence, and small moments of reliefThis week may not feel expansive… but it is clarifying.And what you learn here—about your energy, your limits, and your balance—will change how you move forward.You’re not stuck.You’re recalibrating.

This is your tarot reading for the week ahead, March 20th–27th, working with the Three of Wands—a card of clarity, self-trust, and stepping into a new chapter after deep emotional clearing.After an intense week of grief, endings, and energetic release surrounding the Pisces New Moon and the astrological New Year, this reading explores what it means to stand at the edge of your life and choose what comes next.Hello my loves—what a week.That feeling of everything surfacing at once…Grief, memory, old relationships, old versions of self…A kind of “roll credits” moment on a chapter that has fully completed.If you felt like the wind dropped out, like everything went still and you were left face-to-face with what needed to be felt… you were not alone.This week, we move forward with the Three of Wands.This is the moment after the clearing.After the collapse.After the truth rises.And now you stand at the edge—not asking “what should I do?”but “what do I choose?”This is a shift from external validation → internal calibration.From “do you see me?” → “do I feel myself?”There’s something here about:Walking yourself home.Trusting your own path.Letting grief and clarity coexist.You may feel tenderness.You may feel nostalgia.You may feel the quiet knowing that some paths are complete.And still—there is something new on the horizon.This week is not about forcing movement.It’s about trusting what calls you… and letting the next step reveal itself.In this episode, we explore:The emotional intensity of the Pisces → Aries threshold (astrological new year)Why grief surfaced so strongly—and what it was clearing“Roll credits” energy: closing a chapter of your lifeThe Three of Wands as self-trust, clarity, and personal powerInternal vs external validation (2 → 3 of Wands shift)Walking yourself home (and why no one can do it for you)Letting go of old roles, identities, and relationshipsAlignment over effort: choosing a new way forwardIf this episode supported you, share it with someone navigating change.And as always—trust yourself. You know the way.

A tarot reading for the week of March 13–20, exploring the energy of The Empress, Death, and the Five of Wands reversed. This episode looks at how deep transformation often happens quietly—and how March may reveal the new life that has been growing beneath the surface.If the past few years have changed you in ways you can’t quite articulate, this reading speaks directly to that feeling.This week carries the energy of “the king is dead, long live the queen.”Not destruction, but transition.Not loss, but evolution.Something old—an identity, a struggle, a way of relating to your life—is quietly falling away so something softer, wiser, and more deeply sovereign can take its place.In this episode we explore the surprising tenderness of the Death card, the fertile power of the Empress, and how the Five of Wands reversed signals that a struggle may be dissolving faster than you expected.The road may suddenly feel easier.And when it does, you may realize something beautiful:the challenge was shaping you the whole time.We explore:✨ The Empress & Death together — why this pairing signals a profound but gentle rebirth✨ “The King is Dead, Long Live the Queen” energy — the shift from old structures of power to something more creative, embodied, and alive✨ Why you may not fully see how much you’ve changed over the past few years✨ The surprising compassion inside the Death archetype✨ Your life as a sacred garden — tending yourself with patience and devotion✨ Five of Wands reversed — when competition, friction, or conflict suddenly dissolves✨ Why some challenges exist to sharpen us rather than defeat us✨ The moment when resistance drops and the path forward becomes easier✨ Recognizing the quiet pride that comes from growthNotice where something suddenly feels lighter.A problem that felt complicated may resolve.A challenge may soften.A path that felt blocked may open.When it does, pause long enough to recognize:You’re not the same person who began this journey.Something in you has grown stronger, wiser, and more capable.And now the garden is ready to bloom.✨ If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to follow or subscribe so these weekly readings find you right when they’re meant to.And if you want to explore this work more deeply, you can learn about Mystic Rising, my community devoted to living and embodying these archetypal energies together.Sending you so much love — and a little Friday the 13th magic. 🖤In this episode:The Invitation for the Week

A March tarot reading guided by The Empress and Death, exploring divine timing, spring awakening, desire, transformation, and the quiet inevitability of what is ready to bloom.In this episode, Kirsten reflects on the rich, fertile energy of March and the particular medicine of The Empress: abundance, pleasure, creativity, trust, and the refusal to rush what is still ripening. Paired with Death, this month’s reading opens into a deeper conversation about clearing, change, the long work of transformation, and the surprising beauty that can emerge after a difficult season.This is a reading about learning to trust your own timing. About letting desire expand you without forcing it into form. About allowing life to move at the pace of life. Kirsten explores the difference between urgency and true desire, the way pleasure changes the body, and the possibility that something new is already arriving — even if you cannot fully see it yet.The episode closes with individual tarot readings for each zodiac sign, beginning at 31:26.If March has felt full, creative, slow, lush, emotional, or quietly transformative, this reading will meet you there.

This week’s tarot energy is The Queen of Wands—a return of passion, courage, and creative fire after the release of limiting beliefs revealed through The Devil reversed.If February felt heavy or revealing, this week may bring something different: a spark coming back online. The part of you that remembers you’re here to live.In this episode, Kirsten reflects on the moment when we suddenly see the invisible rules we’ve been living by—beliefs inherited from childhood, culture, or old versions of ourselves. Once those stories are seen, something shifts.There is power in witnessing.There is power in naming what’s true.And there is deep freedom in realizing you don’t actually have to play by that map anymore.This week’s energy moves us into Queen of Wands territory—bold, fiery, passionate, and unapologetically alive. She doesn’t worry about being accommodating. She’s not here to shrink. She’s here to live fully while she’s here.After the heaviness of recent weeks, this energy may show up as:• a sudden surge of passion or desire• speaking something out loud you didn’t plan to say• creative inspiration returning• anger or truth rising to the surface• a renewed sense of agency and personal fireThe Queen of Wands reminds us: you’re not dead yet.And sometimes the medicine for exhaustion isn’t more restraint—it’s a return to aliveness.There may also be a little “beautiful oops” energy this week. Something spontaneous, messy, or unexpected that ultimately brings more life into the room.Spring is beginning to whisper again.The fire is returning.And the Queen of Wands invites you to step back into your vitality.• Reflecting on The Devil reversed and the beliefs we didn’t realize were shaping us• The power of witnessing old stories and inherited rules• Entering the energy of the Queen of Wands• Why women are often called “too much” when they stop accommodating• The return of passion, desire, and creative momentum• Seven of Swords reversed and truth coming into the open• The playful, unpredictable magic of “beautiful oops” momentsIn this episode

This week’s card is The Devil in Reverse, and it feels like a long exhale.After weeks of heaviness — the 10 of Wands, the 10 of Swords, that Eight of Swords feeling of “even if I stand up, now what?” — there’s something shifting. Not dramatically. Not loudly. But cleanly.In this episode, we talk about what it means to loosen the chains.Where are you taking life too seriously?Where are you bound by old vows, old habits, old narratives that don’t actually fit anymore?What are you feeding with your attention?The Devil reversed doesn’t scold. It doesn’t shame. It simply says: you have more choice than you think.We explore:– information overload and nervous system collusion– the difference between devotion and obligation– building legacy (10 of Pentacles + Three of Wands) one small daily act at a time– rewriting commitments without drama– letting February’s heaviness melt like snow before springThere’s relief here. There’s clarity. There’s a subtle but powerful shift toward alignment.You don’t have to carry everything.You don’t have to participate in every myth.You don’t have to keep agreeing to what drains you.The chains are looser than you think.Let’s cut them gently.

This week’s tarot reading explores major endings, energetic overload, and the discomfort of transition as we move through Fire Horse energy, the Aquarius New Moon, and into Eclipse season.The cards guiding us:10 of Wands – Carrying too much / Overextension10 of Swords – Final endings / No going back8 of Swords – Uncertainty / Not knowing the next stepThe Hanged Man – Surrender / Holding the poseThis is a week about:Letting go of what is already overReleasing burdens you no longer need to carrySitting in the in-between without forcing clarityUnderstanding the difference between surrender and stagnationWe are in a Fire Horse year — high action, high intensity, fast momentum. But this week calls for hydration of the nervous system, energetic conservation, and alignment over reaction.If you feel:Stuck but unable to go backwardDone with something but unclear on what’s nextOverextended, emotionally or energeticallyPressured to “move on” before you're readyThis reading is for you.You are not stuck.You are in a pause.And the pause is strategic.✨ Themes this week:• Major endings• Energetic shedding• Alignment over urgency• Surrender as strength• Becoming someone newListen if you're navigating:A relationship endingCareer transitionIdentity shiftSpiritual recalibrationPost-2025 integrationYou don’t have to force forward motion.The road will reveal itself.

This week’s tarot reading explores the Five of Pentacles, and what it means when themes of scarcity, lack, and emotional isolation surface. This episode offers spiritual guidance on transforming scarcity into abundance, trusting your intuition, and navigating uncertainty through the lens of tarot.We also explore the influence of The High Priestess and The Hanged Man, and why this is a powerful time for perspective shifts, intuitive awakening, and embodied healing.The Five of Pentacles is often associated with feeling outside of love, support, or belonging—but this card also reveals how these moments can become profound portals for transformation, resilience, and spiritual growth.In this episode, we explore:The spiritual meaning of the Five of Pentacles tarot cardHow scarcity and abundance live in the bodyWhy intuition becomes stronger during uncertain timesThe role of The High Priestess and Hanged Man in perspective shiftsHow to transform lack into creativity, movement, and trustPractices to reconnect with your body, intuition, and inner stabilityThis is a week for compassion, gentleness, and returning to yourself.Even when you feel outside of certainty, you are not outside of love.Trust what you know. Trust what is shifting.

This is the weekly energy reading for the week of February 6, 2026.Alignment over effort & the fire horse awakening.We have officially crossed a threshold.With the arrival of the Fire Horse year, Uranus moving direct, and a powerful sequence of transits unfolding throughout February, the energy is accelerating in ways that are tangible, physical, and unmistakable. You may feel it in your body already—that sense that something is waking up, something is thawing, something is ready to move.This week’s message centers around a profound shift:Alignment over effort.The work you did in the past year—what you released, what you healed, what you chose—has already carved the destiny lines you’re now moving along. The Fire Horse doesn’t create the path. It runs on the one that’s already been made.In this episode, we explore:Why effort alone won’t create momentum in 2026—and what actually willHow to recognize the difference between what’s aligned and what’s simply familiarThe collective healing around self-acceptance and releasing the idea that you need to “fix” yourselfThe intuitive perception available through the High Priestess and the Hanged ManWhat the Knight of Swords reveals about courage, clarity, and rapid movement this weekHow to stay anchored as destiny accelerates around youThis is a moment of increased speed, clarity, and activation—but not through force.Through resonance.Through listening.Through trusting what feels alive.The Knight of Swords reminds us that clarity may arrive suddenly—and when it does, you may find yourself moving faster and with more certainty than you thought possible.Your task isn’t to push harder.It’s to recognize the clear bell when it rings.—If this resonates, you may also enjoy:February Energy Reading: The High Priestess & The Hanged ManWith love,Kirsten

A February tarot reading guided by The High Priestess and The Hanged Man, exploring surrender, intuition, stillness, and what it means to trust the Wheel of Fortune year.In this episode, we explore:The High Priestess & The Hanged Man as a paired initiationWhy February is an input month, not an output monthImbolc, the Leo Full Moon & the Wood Snake → Fire Horse transitionHow surrender creates momentum in a Wheel of Fortune yearZodiac messages for all 12 signsThis is your month-ahead reading for February—offered as a timeless transmission, so whenever you find it, trust it found you on purpose.We’re meeting at a potent threshold: the Leo Full Moon, Imbolc (the halfway point between Solstice and Equinox), and the collective pivot from Wood Snake → Fire Horse at the Lunar New Year mid-month. Translation: the terrain is shifting… but February asks you to shift in a surprisingly different way.This month carries the paradox of a Wheel of Fortune year (movement, currents, acceleration) paired with the deep yin medicine of:The High Priestess — receptivity, dream-space, the oracle, “hollow bone” listeningThe Hanged Man — surrender, reversal, perspective shift, purposeful releaseTogether, they ask for an experiment:Hold the pose longer. Listen longer. Stay softer longer than you want to.Not as stagnation—as fertility. As the kind of stillness that moults old layers and reveals what’s actually true underneath.If February isn’t an “output month,” what is it?Let the river carry you (less forcing, more allowing)Anchor into “6th house” maintenance: body, home, money, daily rhythm, the basicsWhen your mind insists it “knows,” try: “And… I wonder what else.”Call in support: guides, guardians, teachers (not to outsource power— to reveal nuance)You’re not behind. You’re not wasting time.You’re becoming more essential.Aquarius — Queen of Swords + Squirrel Spirit Back in your native clarity. Give yourself permission to be more self-focused than usual.Pisces — Ace of Pentacles + Antelope SpiritA small yes becomes a fast-moving blessing. Say yes to what’s easy and aligned.Aries — Eight of Swords + Elephant Spirit A familiar stuckness invites a new strategy. Your intuition can guide you even here.Taurus — King of Wands + Porcupine SpiritYou’re lit up—don’t let old stories clamp down on new aliveness. Stay curious.Gemini — Seven of Cups + Deer SpiritLess urgency, more softness. Let the “right cup” find you when you stop scrambling.Cancer — Two of Swords + Dove SpiritDon’t rush the dilemma. The binary is likely false. Recede, breathe, let it clarify.Leo — Hierophant + Hummingbird SpiritThe Beauty Way. Presence as devotion. Let sweetness be a spiritual practice.Virgo — Queen of Pentacles + Rabbit SpiritTend your material world with reverence—body, home, money—and let luck meet you there.Libra — Two of Pentacles + Turtle Spirit Step-by-step is the spell. What feels impossible to hold will resolve more easily than expected.Scorpio — Seven of Wands + Chameleon SpiritHold your space without overexplaining. Trust your boundary instincts—act confident until it’s true.Sagittarius — The Fool + Electric Eel Spirit A green-light month. Take the risk. Say yes to the new path and see what happens.Capricorn — Knight of Cups + Panther SpiritNotice where you dim yourself to “keep” love. The right love celebrates your bigness.Bottom of the Deck — The Tower + Otter SpiritChange is afoot… and you’re not alone. It may arrive softly, but it’s real—and it’s liberating.February’s medicine is simple (not easy):Surrender past your comfort point—one breath longer—and watch what falls away.If this episode supported you, share it with someone who needs permission to soften without losing momentum—and come ride the river with me. 💫The Heart of February: Stillness with MomentumA Practice for the MonthZodiac Messages + CardsClosing Intention

Well… here we are.A full 22-minute episode recorded beautifully — on mute. 🫠So consider this version a transmission that wanted to be said twice.In this week’s episode of It’s Giving Mystical, we’re standing in the liminal space between January and February, closing out the Magician + Justice energy and moving toward the High Priestess and the Hanged Man — all within a Wheel of Fortune year that’s asking us to trust the current of life a little more deeply.We reflect on last week’s Devil card as a final moment of clarity and choice:What are you still choosing — and what are you finally ready to release?From there, we enter the energy of surrender, vertigo, and trust — the feeling of leaning back into the river and letting yourself be carried. This is a month of doing what you’re already doing… but deeper.The card for the week ahead is the Three of Cups — celebration, community, love, harvest, and remembering that we are not meant to do this alone. This episode explores the sacred role of joy and gathering, especially in times of grief, uncertainty, or collective strain.Through a deeply personal story about family, loss, memory, and laughter — and reflections on activism, community, and chosen family — this episode is a reminder that:✨ We are still here✨ We are still together✨ And that alone is worth celebratingThe Three of Cups asks us to keep one foot on the dance floor — even when things are hard. Especially when things are hard.This is an invitation to honor your people, show up for the celebrations that matter, invest in the relationships that sustain you, and remember that joy, music, laughter, and community are not frivolous — they are powerful medicine.Raise your glass.Say L’chaim.We’re still here. And it’s not over yet. 🥂Aho,Kirsten 💫

✨ It’s Giving Mystical — The Week of January 23rd ✨This week’s podcast is an invitation into awakening to love—not just the soft, sweet version, but the kind that cracks us open, tenderizes us, and asks us to stay present with what we feel.We reflect on last week’s themes of new energy, new channels, and the tension between what we’re maintaining and what we’re becoming. Awakening to love can arrive as delight—rediscovering what lights us up, what our hands and bodies love to do—and it can also arrive as grief, vulnerability, and a deeper sensitivity to harm, fear, and heartbreak.I share reflections on the Three of Swords as a card of courage and lion-heartedness—how heartbreak, while never something we seek, is part of what makes us available to love, compassion, and brave presence in the world. We explore what it means to stay open without hardening, even when the world feels overwhelming.This episode includes a deeply personal story about embodiment, boundaries, and learning to stay inside oneself rather than orienting from the outside in—especially as a woman navigating desire, safety, spirituality, and relationship. We talk about how subtle interactions can pull us out of our bodies, and how returning to breath, presence, and self-trust is a radical and necessary practice.For the week ahead, we work with The Devil card—an exploration of choice, binding, devotion, desire, and the places where we may feel trapped or unconscious. The Devil asks us to look honestly at what we are in service to, where we’ve given away our power, and where reclaiming choice can liberate vitality, pleasure, and integrity. We also touch on embodiment, sexual energy, shadow, and the importance of integrating the spiritual and the material.With Temperance and the Ten of Wands (Reversed) supporting us, this week offers the possibility of putting something heavy down, rebalancing how we carry our responsibilities, and allowing insight to arrive without overwhelm.This is a long, winding, heartfelt episode—an offering for those feeling tender, fierce, alive, and in the middle of it all.You are invited to move slowly, stay in your body, and remember: this too is a gift.Sending you so much love.I’ll talk to you very soon. ✨

Hello beautiful people. It’s me, Kirsten, and this is the It’s Giving Mystical podcast—your energetic weather report for the week ahead.We’re halfway through January now, which means it’s time for a gentle but honest check-in. How are the Magician and Justice moving through your life? Where do you feel momentum—and where do things feel out of sync? This week invites you back to your breath, your intentions, and what you are truly devoted to calling in during this Wheel of Fortune year.We’re also reflecting on last week’s King of Swords energy. What conversations were stirred? What words were spoken—to you, by you, and within you? Some of these exchanges may have healed. Some may have triggered. All of them mattered. Language is shaping reality right now, so notice how you’re speaking to yourself and the world.The cards guiding us this week are The Tower (reversed) and the Ace of Cups—a powerful, luminous pairing.The Tower reminds us that structures—both inner and outer—can only hold so much energy before they must change. But in reverse, this doesn’t feel like collapse. It feels like a gentle flooding, a release of blocked flow, an opening that allows life back into places that have been dry or constricted. The things you have built can no longer contain what your soul is becoming… and that’s a beautiful thing.Paired with the Ace of Cups, this becomes something extraordinary:an awakening into love.Not the “falling” kind, but the remembering kind.The kind that feels like, “Oh… there you are.”This could be romantic. It could be familial. It could be spiritual. It could even be a deepening love for yourself. But whatever form it takes, it carries recognition, warmth, and the sense that you are not walking alone.As we step out of the Hermit year and into the Wheel of Fortune, the universe is asking:Can you trust what you cultivated in the quiet?Can you bring your heart into connection now?Justice reminds us that love is not meant to live in isolation. Love wants to be lived. Shared. Expressed in the world.So this week, move a little slower. Let the energy settle. Let the heart open. And when you feel that spark of recognition—whether with a person, a path, or a new possibility—trust it.May you awaken into love.May your heart feel warm and alive.May you remember you are not in this alone.I love you. I’ll see you soon. 💖

Hello beautiful people. It’s me, Kirsten, and this is your It’s Giving Mystical podcast for the week ahead — the week of January 9th (1/9). A powerful threshold.This is a big week astrologically, with potent alignments already stirring clarity, revelation, and momentum. After last week’s Chariot energy — the inhale before the pounce — we’re now entering the moment where the arrows are released.The card guiding us? The King of Swords.This week is about words.Big words.Healing words.Disruptive words.Truth-telling words.Words that change the shape of what comes next.The King of Swords is a translator — a bridge between the spiritual and material worlds. He carries clarity, but he also carries humanity. Unlike the Queen of Swords’ sharp black-and-white decisiveness, the King allows for nuance, context, compassion, and even a little wobble. And that wobble matters.This is a week for:Important conversationsSpeaking before you’re 100% sureListening deeply, even when it’s uncomfortableLetting yourself communicate imperfectlyWhen clarifying cards appeared — The Star, The Tower, The Moon — it became clear:These conversations are tied to healing, restructuring, and your dreams.They are determinant. They matter.You may notice:Someone trying to speak to youA truth wanting to come through youA conversation that feels bigger than it looksBring beginner’s mind. (Earthworm energy from the Wild Unknown Animal Deck showed up as a reminder here.) Let yourself try. Let yourself get it a little wrong. There is medicine in the effort.This is also a reminder that we are in a Wheel of Fortune year. Unlike the effort-heavy 9 year, this year invites revelation. Movement. New environments, new communities, new conversations you couldn’t have planned for.One of the core practices this week:✨ The breath.Notice when you’re holding it — especially in conversation.Give yourself one full, spacious breath.That pause?That’s where quantum leaps happen.Not by force — but by spaciousness.You don’t owe anyone immediate answers.You don’t need to rush.You are safe to pause.This is not a Queen of Swords week.This is a King of Swords week.Ask yourself:What feels true right now?How can I best translate that?How can I listen with compassion?How can I stay present even when it’s awkward?Let your words be planted in love, humanity, and care — not in cruelty, urgency, or the need to win.Big words this week.Be patient with yourself.Be kind with your language — especially inwardly.And breathe. Always breathe.Happy week ahead. 💛

The Magician & Justice: January 2026All right, hotties. 💋Welcome to your January 2026 long-form episode — the one you listen to with tea, a blanket, and your nervous system exhaling in real time.In this episode we drop into the energetic architecture of 2026 as a Wheel of Fortune year (a 10 year) — a year of expansion, destiny winds, right-place-right-time magic, and terrain that moves under your feet (in a good way… mostly). If 2025 felt like deep contraction, shedding, healing, and reworking the foundations, 2026 is where the world starts meeting you again.9 year → 10 year shift: contraction to expansion, consolidation to momentumThe medicine of the 1 + 0: your Magician clarity + the Universe’s protection (condor wings, baby)Why Wheel/Jupiter energy can be so benevolent — and also too much, too fast if you’re not groundedHow the pace may really pick up mid-February (and why January is your anchoring month)“Don’t get carried away” (and also… learn how to ride it)The return of your mythic appetite — your hunger for life, beauty, creation, love, experienceWhy January matters (even if people say “the year starts at Aries season”) — the void is fertile, and Capricorn season helps you build what will bloomMajor Arcana theme:The Magician (January as a manifestation portal)Justice (11) as the next layer: swift movement, rails greased, the pot sweetenedTogether these cards say: you’re all in. And the universe is responding.Oracle + animal pulls:Echinacea DestinyMartyr (light attribute: the transcendent desire to serve self and the world)Anchor to Fly (safety + freedom can coexist)Our Lady Who Sends the Angels (protection + guidance)Frog (healing, gentleness, restoration — moisture for the spirit)We also name the energetic undercurrent: Phoenix / 10 of Swords reversed — fresh eyes, beginner mind, and a clear invitation to not carry last year’s residue into the new terrain.A quick energetic weather report for each sign:Capricorn: Sun + Snake — be your own warmth before you seek it outsideAquarius: Queen of Pentacles + Crocodile — quiet stability… and an ancient whisper calling you forwardPisces: Death + Lizard — permission to only be in environments that nourish youAries: Lovers + Panther — no more f*cking around; choose what aligns with your fierce heartTaurus: Seven of Wands + Frog — protect your healing; take up room for what you needGemini: Two of Swords + Fish — mind vs. feeling; trust the current, don’t overthink the riverCancer: Ace of Cups + Swan — love + beauty; make art, write poetry, soften into devotionLeo: Knight of Swords + Firefly — inspiration is high; watch burnout and learn modulationVirgo: Knight of Wands + Buffalo — passion with grounding; trust your (charming) messinessLibra: Judgment + Oyster — a reveal, a pearl, an unexpected truth that becomes treasureScorpio: Four of Cups + Deer — frustration softens with listening; widen perceptionSagittarius: Chariot + Moth — make moves in the dark; cloak your energy until it’s yoursAsk for what you want.Believe you’re allowed to have it.And also: keep an eye on impact — who you’re bringing with you, who you’re building with, where you’re learning you don’t have to do it alone.This is a building month. A clarifying month. A month where more comes into the field.And we’re officially entering the Wheel of Fortune terrain — may it be more fun than last year, and may it feel like something we do together.Talk to you later, friends.

✨ It’s Giving Mystical — Week Ahead | January 2, 2026 ✨Hello beautiful people.It’s me, Kirsten, and this is your It’s Giving Mystical podcast for the week ahead.We are officially stepping into 2026—and we are doing it differently.This week opens with Wheel of Fortune energy: a turning point, a shifting terrain, a year that wants to take shape in its own way. The 10 reminds us that change is not random—it’s protected, purposeful, and alive with destiny. The Onespeaks to your sacred role as the bridge between heaven and earth. The Zero speaks to divine protection, source energy, and being held as you become.Together, they whisper:You are not doing this alone.This is a generative year.After the shedding, fatigue, and deep initiations of the nine year, the ten year asks us to build, create, and allow life to meet us halfway.For this first week of the year, the card guiding us is The Chariot.Not as force.Not as hustle.But as contained power, pleasure, and magnetic pause.The Chariot reminds us that true momentum comes from alignment—not rushing. From drawing your power inward. From knowing what is meant for you and trusting that nothing aligned will pass you by. This is the inhale before the arrow releases. The stillness before movement. The moment where the universe says, I see you… and I’ll sweeten the pot.There is something deeply satisfying here.A sense of recognition.A sense of being met.A sense that your intuition was right.This is not a solitary week.There is mirroring, communication, allyship, and confirmation.You may feel seen—by another person, by your community, or by life itself.As we move toward the Cancer Full Moon, themes of home, care, ambition, and emotional truth may surface—but overall, the energy feels warm, collaborative, and validating. Harmonious. Supportive. Alive with possibility.Let yourself feel good this week.Let yourself feel proud.Let yourself enjoy the turning of the wheel.You’re all in.And the universe is responding.✨If you feel called, this is a beautiful time to ritualize the year ahead—through tarot, intention-setting, sankalpa work, or simply naming what your heart truly desires.Here’s to being wide awake for what’s coming.Here’s to pleasure, power, and momentum.Here’s to 2026.I’ll see you soon. 💛

It’s Giving Mystical — Week of December 26This week’s episode is an invitation to slow all the way down.We’re in the liminal days — that strange, potent stretch between Christmas, the Solstice, and the New Year — a time that has long been understood as mythic time, outside the usual rules of productivity, urgency, and linear momentum.In this episode, Kirsten explores the ancient idea of the 12 Holy Days — the days between December 26 and January 6 — and how they can be used as a powerful contemplative bridge between the year that’s ending and the one that’s forming.Rather than rushing toward 2026, this is a call to stay with your life.Why 2025 isn’t over yet — and why wishing time away robs us of magicHow the 12 Holy Days can be used as a gentle reflection on each month of the past yearA simple ritual: giving each day to one month (January–December) — honoring what was, and sensing what’s comingThe feeling of these days as out of time — sacred, strange, and deeply aliveThis week’s cards speak to liberation, momentum, and integration.Eight of Swords (Reversed) — breaking free from mental confinement, outdated stories, and self-imposed limitationsEight of Wands — sudden movement, energy returning, something real taking shapeDouble Eight energy — manifestation, materialization, spirit entering formTemperance (appearing twice) — the reminder to pace yourself, to metabolize change rather than burn out on itThree & Six of Pentacles — collaboration, reciprocity, and remembering that your liberation lives within communityThere’s an electric “I knew it” moment here — vindication, clarity, momentum — paired with a deeper wisdom asking:How do I hold this energy without losing myself to it?When energy finally moves after a long contraction, it can feel intoxicating — like anger, desire, or joy cracking something open.This episode explores:How to ride the wave without getting stuck in the chargeWhy emotional highs can sometimes create their own hangoversHow to come back to center, nourishment, and ground without dimming your alivenessThese final days of the year matter.They are not filler.They are not insignificant.They are not something to “get through.”There is a gift at the door — and you don’t want to miss it.As Kirsten reminds us:The worst thing is not discomfort — it’s numbness.We’re here to feel, to experience, to stay awake to our lives.Let this be a week of presence.Of honoring who you’ve become.Of staying open to beauty, mystery, and miracle — even now.✨ Happy Holy Days. Happy Returning Light.✨ And may you meet the threshold with open hands.✨ Inside this episode:🃏 The Tarot for the Week:🔥 A Key Theme:🌑 The Deeper Invitation:

This week’s energy meets us at a powerful threshold.As we move through the final days before the solstice, the tarot and the collective field are asking us to slow down, soften, and trust what’s quietly taking shape beneath the surface. What you thought you were working with at the beginning of the month may look similar but different now—because you are different.We reflect on the King of Cups energy behind us, inviting emotional depth, honesty, and sovereignty as we learn to swim in deeper waters without losing ourselves. There’s a remembering here: I know who I am. I can be here, even when the terrain is unfamiliar.This episode explores:The solstice as a time of untethering, quiet, and deep sensitivityWhy this season asks for tenderness instead of performanceThe fertile void of a 9-year cycle ending—when identity dissolves and curiosity returnsWhat it means to sit in emptiness without rushing to fill itThe pressure building inside you—and why it’s not meant to be released prematurelyFinding pleasure even in yearning, discomfort, and acheTarot for the WeekWe pull the Two of Pentacles (reversed), signaling the end of limbo and false busyness. You’re done juggling what no longer deserves your energy.Supporting cards:Ten of Swords — it’s truly over; there’s no life left in the old formThe Tower (reversed) — the shock is settling, the dust is clearingKnight / Son of Wands — it’s time to move, follow desire, and choose lifeThis isn’t about forcing outcomes. It’s about honoring your vitality and allowing desire to guide you—not because it guarantees a result, but because of who you become by moving toward what calls you.We also speak honestly about:Quiet heartbreak without a clear causeThe complexity of the holidays—light and loneliness coexistingThe necessity of art, connection, and truth as anchors in human lifeLetting truth transform you, even when it’s tenderAs the light begins to return, you’re invited into a simple solstice ritual:“As the light returns, so does this…”Name what you’re calling back to yourself.Be gentle. Float when you need to. Let the system re-organize itself.You are not broken.You are becoming.Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah—however you mark this turning of the wheel.I love you, and I’ll talk to you soon. ✨

Hello, my beautiful travelers.This week’s episode of It’s Giving Mystical arrives straight from the portal of 12/12—Hangman month, Hangman day, Hermit year. A whole council of initiatory energies gathering at once… and we’re walking right into the depths with them.Fresh off a massive Jaguar medicine initiation, I’m slightly spun, deeply grateful, and wildly in the in-between. So if I sound a little cosmic, just know: the medicine is medicining.This week, the King of Cups / Shaman of Cups rises as our guide, pulling us from last week’s spark of Page of Wands desire into the emotional deep end—an initiation into the waters we want to swim in but might not yet feel fully at home in.Inside this episode, we explore:✨ Why 12/12 doubles down on Hangman + Hermit energy✨ The shift from fire (Page of Wands) to water (King of Cups)✨ What it means to navigate terrain where you don’t have home-field advantage✨ Healthy respect for depth, emotion, and the unknown✨ Whale medicine, hot springs, sovereignty, siren calls, and the ocean that will eventually have its way✨ The difference between “Queen of Cups immersion” and “King of Cups mastery while trembling a little”✨ Why emotional depth this week feels equal parts yearning and oh shit✨ How resisting the waters creates more discomfort than answering their call✨ The quiet initiation that comes from holding both sovereignty and surrender at the same timeThink of this week as an invitation into the kind of depth that cracks something open—not in a destructive way, but in a liberating one. The waters are rising. Something wants to be revealed. And you actually can navigate it… even if you feel like the away team.This episode is a mix of tarot, shamanic insight, ocean metaphors, and honest post-Jaguar wobbliness. It’s tender. It’s powerful. And it’s definitely a ride.Dive in, gorgeous.Love you. 💙🌀

This week’s episode arrives on the heels of that wild Gemini Full Moon — jittery, electric, disorienting in the body, clarifying in the mind. If you’ve felt unsettled, sleepless, or like your system was being rewired… you weren’t imagining it. Something real has been clearing out, and as you land into this week, the ground beneath you is stabilizing.We’re moving through an ending that is not cute or symbolic, but earned — the kind where you exhale and think, holy sht… we made it.*Two cards are walking with us through December: XII The Hanged One and XXI The World, echoing that powerful 12–21 portal and the long arc of transformation since December 2021. Time has bent these last few years; we’ve moved through a maze, a gauntlet, a spiritual compression chamber… and we’re not the same.This month offers two things at once:✨ The final shedding of a 9-year cycle✨ The prep work for the fire-horse energy of 2026You have all the pieces — but December rearranges them into a completely new picture.And for the week ahead?We’re in the energy of the Daughter (Page) of Wands. 🔥She’s the spark-tender. The first breath of inspiration. The raw-faced enthusiasm before self-consciousness sets in. This is your permission to:Let your freak flag flyFollow what turns you onBe a little wild, a little freeExpress without monitoring yourselfRun toward the things that make you feel aliveThere’s contagious joy in this card — cranes overhead, freedom in motion, the sense of “YES, this is what my body has been wanting.”Let yourself surprise yourself.Let yourself feel good.Let yourself be seen in your fire.We close with a blessing for the week and a peek into what’s coming next as Kirsten steps into Jaguar medicine — the West direction of the Shamanic wheel: shadow, death, tracking, and the liberation that follows.May this week bring you that delicious feeling of:Damn. It feels good to be alive. It feels good to be free. It feels good to be in this body. It feels good to be me.

The Hanged Man & The World – December 2025In this month-ahead episode, we walk straight into the tender, mysterious heart of December 2025 — a 9 year coming to completion — with the Hanged One (XII) and The World (XXI) as our guides.I share honestly from a very real and raw place: the anniversary of my mom’s passing (12/1/21), the ache of grief in the body, and the strange comfort of numerology, ritual, and mythic time. We talk about how endings don’t just “take something away”… they also quietly reconfigure what’s already here into something wholly new.Inside this episode, we explore:The 9 Year coming to a closeHow 2025 has felt like five years in one and what it means to be in a collective year of endings, release, and karmic completion.The Hanged One (12) & The World (21)The mirror magic of 12/21, the ouroboros, and why December invites us to see our lives from a new angle using the ingredients we already have.Linear time vs. mythic timeThe tension between what’s “actually” happening in 3D and what you know to be true in your bones… and how to stop over-explaining your knowing to people who aren’t seeing what you see (yet).Grief, love & the illusion of separationThe anniversary of my mother’s death, the train-track dream that changed how I hold loss, and why our stories of separation sit inside a deeper circle of never-ending connection.Jaguar in the WestA peek into the next gate of the medicine wheel in Shamanism, the feeling of strapping into a big ride, and what Jaguar medicine might be stirring in you as we close the year.You already have what you needThe branch, the velvet ribbon, the chandelier crystals — and the alchemical magic of recombining the “random” pieces of your life into something surprisingly beautiful.Ritual & reflection for DecemberGentle prompts to honor what’s ending, track what’s transformed in you this year, and prepare your heart for the new cycle of 2026 (Horse / 10 / 1 energy).And of course, we close with tarot + animal spirit messages for every sign — from Sagittarius’ warm, sun-bright fire to Pisces’ invitation to let happiness linger just one beat longer.This one is for the part of you that feels tender, in-between, and strangely hopeful.May you feel the circle inside the line, the beginning inside the ending, and trust that you’ve had everything you needed all along. 💫

This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we’re moving through the energetic aftershock of that Scorpio New Moon — and wow… WTF. The cellular activations, the shedding, the quantum reordering? A lot. (Also: why can’t I drink coffee anymore?? Rude.)In this episode, we explore how the most mundane moments — a text, a tiny interaction, a micro-blip — can actually function as portals into something much bigger. Spirit loves to use the small doorways to reveal the big stuff, and this week’s energy has been highlighting exactly that.Let’s talk about why your “outsized reaction” is actually an initiation. Why the boring disruption is medicine. And why your heart might be cracking open in the most unexpected places.The Wheel of Fortune comes in as a blessing, a turning point, a shift in your favor — and it couldn’t be more aligned.The Wheel (10) is the same archetype that governs 2026, so what you’re experiencing this week isn’t just a moment… it’s a preview of the energy that will shape the entire year ahead.Something is turning. Something is opening. Something is aligning. You softened somewhere you used to armor.Y ou allowed something you used to defend against.You said yes — even a little — and the universe is rushing in with more steps toward you than there are grains of sand in time. We also talk about:* The strange, holy discomfort of the Scorpio New Moon* Why tiny things can trigger huge healings* How to work with your hypervigilance instead of against it* The magic of giving yourself “one more beat” of joy* Softening your armor without losing your power* What it means to enter a cycle of new relational karma* The Wheel of Fortune + Ten of Cups combo blessing this week* Ancestor energy, Thanksgiving portals, and a birthday tribute to my beautiful momIf you’ve been needing a win, the universe is like: I got you, baby.Stay open to the unexpected doorway it walks through.Listen now to anchor the energy, claim the blessing, and move into the next chapter with softness, curiosity, and a wide-open heart.✨ Card of the Week: The Wheel of Fortune

Trust your fire. Trust what’s calling you.May you feel your edges — and expand beyond them.And may your benevolent Sky Daddy be proud. 😏

November Energy: Tarot & Numerology ForecastHello, my loves... it’s me, Kirsten, and this is the It’s Giving Mystical podcast... your sacred check-in for the month ahead.First, let’s pour one out for October — the month of The Sun and The Wheel of Fortune. A month of illumination, revelation, and movement that asked us to let go, let life shuffle the deck, and see what remained when the light touched everything.

What does it mean to realign with your own divinity?🍞 The call to service — how compassion for your community becomes a spiritual practice.🔥 The “Sky Daddy” humor and the sacred charge of surrendering control to something trustable, powerful, and wise.🌍 The reminder that justice begins at home — in your body, your choices, your relationships, your integrity.November is a month of no-nonsense clarity — but it’s also laced with beauty.There’s a strength, a turn-on, a devotion in remembering who’s in charge inside you.You might feel the divine authority of love — Sky Daddy energy — showing up in your world, asking you to grow, to act, to serve, to tell the truth, to get right with your soul’s contract.✨ You won’t be able to hide from what’s true this month — and that’s a gift.✨ You’re being asked to trust what you see, to move with what’s revealed, and to remember that alignment is liberation.So take a deep breath.Clean it up.Get clear.And know that the divine is rooting for your full integrity and your full joy.Plus card readings for every sign....🎧 Listen now to the full November transmission — equal parts sermon, stand-up, and soul activation — wherever you get your podcasts.
