Can a celestial event reshape your understanding of love? As I navigate the emotional waves stirred by recent eclipses and an Aries full moon, I find myself pausing to explore the theme of lost love through the lens of the Three of Swords. This episode takes an unexpected path, as I set aside the Queen of Cups to intimately recount my experiences with Simon, a man whose adventurous spirit seemed to fade after 2020. His story, intertwined with my own reflections on unfulfilled desires, offers a poignant look at how personal grief can emerge not just from what we had, but from what we never got to experience.
In a personal exploration, I share the intriguing concept of quantum jumping, pondering whether it's possible for someone to realign with their true self. Could Simon, and perhaps others, transform into who they're meant to be? Despite its unconventional nature, I hold onto this hope and invite listeners to share their experiences with similar journeys of transformation. Join me as I unpack these complex emotions, and invite you to subscribe for future explorations into the heart and spirit.

Intimate Tarot
07/08/24 • 4 min
Have you ever felt like you're standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to leap into the unknown? Join me, Alexandra, as we unpack the fascinating journey of the Fool card in tarot. Just as the Fool stands on the precipice of adventure, I find myself embarking on my own unpredictable path, transitioning from app development to podcasting. Through personal stories of marriage, motherhood, and single parenthood, I explore how the Fool's essence of unpredictability, associated with Uranus, mirrors the twists and turns of my own life.
I'll draw connections between the Fool and characters from two unique tarot decks: Frodo in the Lord of the Rings Tarot, representing hesitant adventure, and the burdened Fool of the Idle Hands Tarot. These parallels illuminate my own journey into podcasting, fraught with both excitement and responsibility. As we discuss the importance of faith, purpose, and companionship, I invite you to reflect on your own life's adventure. Let’s take this leap of faith together, exploring the wisdom of all 78 tarot cards.

NAVIGATING DECISIONS WITH THE 2 OF SWORDS
Intimate Tarot
08/19/24 • 8 min
What if your indecision isn't about overthinking, but about needing just one crucial piece of information? Join me, Alexandra, on this episode of Intimate Tarot as we explore the mysterious and contemplative Two of Swords card. Imagine a woman with Moon in Libra in her birth chart, juggling intuition and logic, standing on the brink of a decision—this imagery will help you connect deeply with the card's essence. We'll discuss the traits of Moon in Libra individuals, their intuitive yet analytical nature, and how these qualities manifest in the Two of Swords. By envisioning the card's symbolic elements, such as water representing emotions and the moon symbolizing the subconscious, we draw a direct line to the High Priestess and her ultimate feminine intuition.
Listen to a compelling personal story about my sister's property search, which perfectly illustrates the Two of Swords energy. She was paralyzed by choice until she identified her non-negotiable: space for a bidet. This simple yet crucial detail enabled her to make a confident decision. We'll also delve into the Dark Mansion Tarot's unique portrayal of this card, where the woman’s contemplative pose and the positioning of the swords evoke an external imposition of truth. Tune in for an episode packed with insights that will transform your understanding and connection with the Two of Swords in your tarot practice.

Ever had a simple act of burning sage turn into a neighborhood spectacle? Join me, Alexandra, as I recount a day when my well-intentioned sage ritual became the talk of the block, thanks to Mercury in Scorpio and a full moon's cosmic chaos. What started as a neighborly prayer spiraled into a whirlwind of anxiety, a smoke alarm frenzy, and an unexpected visit from the fire department. This episode uncovers how these seemingly trivial moments hold the power to teach us profound lessons. Through the lens of the Ace of Swords, we explore the poignant clarity that emerges from these minor arcana experiences, blending ordinary life with heightened emotions and cosmic alignments.
