What does it mean to be forced to reverse course? How do we contend with the moments in our lives where we cannot push forward, as expected? In this episode, we explore the concept of reversals, retrogrades, and what it means to embrace moments of inversion, or opposition.

In Mariana's modality, tarot, reversed cards are often frustrating to querents, and can bring anxiety about thwarted goals, or dreams deferred. In Cristina's modality of astrology, planetary retrograde is often lamented as a time of frustrated action.

But we believe that there is great meaning, and great possibility for fertility, in these surprising changes of course. Join us as we contemplate all things retrograde, reversed, and revelatory in this special episode.

Mariana will also be having a live discussion event with fellow tarotist Alyssa Polizzi on Thursday, August 15th at 11am PST. Enroll for this free event here.

The ocean is our primordial origin, the place from which all life emerges. Symbolically, the ocean represents the waters of the unconscious, which shape and give form to the solid earth on which we live.

Join us in this episode where we explore the magic and mythos of the sea! From the stories of the great mother, Tiamat, Oceanus, and the anima mundi, the ocean has much to offer us in terms of explorations of life and death, the vastness of the dark, the depths of the psychic realms, and ways to connect with the unknown.

"As above so below, as within so without," is one of the most famous maxims of the occult world, a phrase shared and repeated by those who explore the wonders of the mythic and the magical, the symbolic and the unknown. This phrase comes to us from the Emerald Tablet, a Hellenistic text by Hermes Trismegistus. The meaning, though sounding like a riddle, is that what happens in the greater cosmos impacts and is a reflection of what occurs on the mundane, human realm, and that our experiences and potentials as human beings are a reflection of the cosmos.

This episode explores the symbolic concept of the macrocosm and microcosm, our innate connection to the divine, and our place in the fabric of life. We define and give historical context from the macro/microcosms, and then turn to an exploration of how it is the sacred thread running through our tarot and astrology practices.

Our dreamer this episode shares a dream of being haunted by a past lover.
