The new year is nigh! Once again, I am joined by my two amazing friends, astrologer Andrew B. Watt and cartomancer T. Susan Chang, to attempt to forecast the future. Together, we put our divinatory skills to the test. As Andrew interprets astrological charts for each month, Susie draws Tarot cards, and I am there to moderate! Part one of the 2022 Forecast covers the months of January through June. Two special notes for this episode:

T. Susan Chang

T. Susan Chang bought her first tarot deck at a Barnes & Noble in New York, where she moonlighted as a reader while working in academic publishing. After leaving the city, she took her practice underground for many years, re-surfacing in 2015 and taking up the systematic study of esoteric correspondences in tarot.

Along with deck creator Mel Meleen, Susie hosts the Fortune's Wheelhouse esoteric tarot podcast, which explores imagery and symbolism in the Rider-Waite-Smith and Thoth decks.
She is the creator of the Arcana Case® for tarot decks, which can be found on her Etsy page, along with her line of esoteric perfumes.
She reads tarot in person at the Inspirit Crystal shop in Northampton, Massachusetts
Her online Tarot course, "The Living Tarot," course can be found on her website.
She is the author of A Spoonful of Promises (2011), Tarot Correspondences: Ancient Secrets for Everyday Readers (2018), 36 Secrets: A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot (2021), and co-author of Tarot Deciphered: Decoding Esoteric Symbolism in Modern Tarot (2021).
She collaborates with Jack Grayle on the online course Godsong: 365 Days of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

Her interest in tarot is wide-ranging and passionate, and has included:

Setting up 78 Spotify playlists for those interested in card-appropriate music
memorizing astrological correspondences for the minor arcana while swimming laps
writing tarot haiku and spells
maintaining a sprawling Card-of-the-Day-tracking database (complete with elemental, astrological, and kabbalistical frequency and percentage pie charts).

When not engaged in tarot-adjacent activity, she teaches writing at Smith College, and writes occasionally about food and cookbooks. She lives in western New England with her husband, two children, and a variable number of chickens. Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arnemancy Listen on Podcrypt
