284: Tarot message for the week ahead: It’s time to take the leap into your uplevel Oct 18, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to a new little feature I'm trying out as I revive this podcast - a mini Tarot reading to show you the energy of this coming week! I pull a card and share with you what I think it could mean as the week unfolds.

If you want the full Tarot energy reading of the week ahead, go to https://thenewsensitive.substack.com
There, I discuss cards and energies of actions to take, what to release, what to step into, and do a mini Tarot reading for a question on your heart.

This week, The Fool is coming in to remind us that sometimes you just have to take the leap. You have to be willing to step into the unknown before you have all the answers, before you know exactly how it’s going to work out, and before you have a guarantee that everything will go according to plan. And honestly that's often what an uplevel requires. You're not always going to feel ready before you take the leap. Sometimes, you have to take the leap first and let yourself become the person who's capable of holding what comes next.

PS: I’m dreaming and mulling over a brand-new year-long community offering starting in January…my first live course in ages… all about going after one big, hairy, audacious, it’s never-too-late sort of goal. A big old mix of ritual, community, co-working, spirituality, working with the seasons of the year… Stay tuned - I’m going to be sharing more in October about this! Get on the waitlist here!

The New Sensitive podcast is a spin-off of The New Sensitive substack, a weekly newsletter that helps highly sensitives thrive in body and soul with accessible health, wellness and spiritual practices.

280: September's Tarot message: Open Your Mind to the Truth Around You Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to September's Tarot reading! The theme for September is Open Your Mind to the Truth Around You. With three swords cards, we will definitely be investigating our mind's desperate attempts to protect us with fear-based thinking or catastrophizing, and we'll be asked: Can we leave that old way behind? Can we choose new truths, that we're capable, that we're surrounded by abundance and care, that everything might just be working out for us? Doing this may feel challenging because this kind of fear-based protective thinking has deep ancestral roots for many of us, but the invitation is here in September: Open your mind and eyes. Don't let your mind's automatic thoughts run the show. Choose to see your gifts, light, and worth, all around you.

Main card for September: Two of Swords (giving yourself time to see and process your thoughts)
What do our highest selves, guides and the universe want us to most learn during September?: Nine of Swords (working with fear-based thoughts more productively)
How will September most feel? Nine of Pentacles (self-worth, abundance, our birthrights)
What is the most aligned action we can be taking in September for our highest good? Judgement (breaking ancestral trauma/curses/patterns)
A message of support from our highest selves and spirit guides for September: Six of Swords (you can navigate this transition with care)
September's animal support card (from Colette Baron Reid’s Animal Spirit Oracle): Turtle spirit (slow and steady wins the race)

If you’re in the DMV/Loudoun County/West Virginia area, I’m launching in-person NEW MOON JOURNAL CIRCLES this September! Come join me for the first one at Studio 101 in Leesburg on Thursday, September 10th, $22. Tarot, journaling, sharing and intention setting in community.

Oh, and PS: I’m dreaming and mulling over a brand-new year-long community offering starting in January…my first live course in ages… all about going after one big, hairy, audacious, it’s never-too-late sort of goal. A big old mix of ritual, community, co-working, spirituality, working with the seasons of the year… Stay tuned - I’m going to be sharing more in October about this!

279: August's Tarot message: Tend well to the garden that is you Jul 30, 2026

Show notes

In this month's Tarot reading, August invites us to tend to the garden that is ourselves. While the energy of the Three of Wands encourages expansion and looking toward new horizons, the deeper message is that sustainable growth begins with self-nourishment. Spirit reminds us to care for our bodies, honor our emotional needs, trust the timing of what's unfolding, and plant intentional seeds that will flourish in months ahead. With Buffalo as our animal guide, we're reminded that when we nurture ourselves with patience and purpose, the abundant universe will provide.

Main card for August: Three of Wands (expansion, travel)
What do our highest selves, guides and the universe want us to most learn during August? Queen of Pentacles (self-nourishment)
How will August most feel? (some impatience, but take care of our garden and trust the process)
What is the most aligned action we can be taking in August for our highest good? Ace of Cups (be vulnerable, nurture your emotional needs)
A message of support from our highest selves and spirit guides for August: Ace of Pentacles (plant seeds of purpose and self-care habits)
August's animal support card (from Colette Baron Reid’s Animal Spirit Oracle): Buffalo ("The abundant universe will provide")

278: July's Tarot message: The queens are calling Jul 05, 2026

Show notes

With two Queens showing up in the reading this month, July asks us to truly to commit to internal self care and internal belief and visions. Particularly, with the Queen of Wands, the question to ask yourself is: “If I were a witch, and could wave my wand to transform any situation as I wanted it to be, what would that look like, and how could I start to bring that into reality?” July looks like a fast month that will also ask us to set boundaries, investigate our thoughts, and not burn out. In Feng Shui, July is peak yang - the most fire energy of the year - and particularly in the year of the Fire Horse, burnout can be a concern. So take good care of yourself, slow down when and where you can, and ride the wave of this month.

Main card for July: Nine of Swords

What do our highest selves, guides and the universe want us to most learn during July? Queen of Wands
How will July most feel? Knight of Swords

Join me Tuesday, July 14th, for a workshop inside our Trust the Universe membership: Tarot to get unstuck. I don't know about you, but I feel like a lot of us are more ready to expand, but bogged down in the liminal sticky space of what is done... but we're not sure what's coming next. Just hanging in the void! Cool cool cool. Well, Tarot to the rescue! I'll talk a bit about the Moon and the Hanged Man card, who teach us how to sit in, and grow through the liminal space, show you how to use the cards to cut through the noise, get clear on what's really going on, and find your way forward. We'll also have time to practice reading Tarot for one another! Two hours, $44, cancel anytime, register here.
Want to get a mini Tarot reading from me in person? I’m doing mini readings on July 12th at Potomac River Interiors in Brunswick, Maryland! Details here (scroll down), only a few openings left.
