In today’s episode, I’m joined by my friend Rebecca Padgett. As humans who identify both as artists and mystics, Rebecca and I wanted to explore the intersection between these two worlds. We discussed how artmaking and mystical practices can connect us deeper with our true selves and heal our inner child, ways to work with our inner critic (which is a topic we both know quite well as two Virgo risings), and how to honor our lineage through our personal and public practices. Rebecca also has a stellium of planets in Libra in her 2nd house, and she shared some incredible wisdom about the 2H that really helped me understand this astrological house better.

Here's Rebecca's bio:

Rebecca Padgett is a tarot reader, astrologer, visual artist, and dedicated student of divinatory and intuitive practices. She lives and works in a century farmhouse near Warsaw, Ontario.

Her attraction to all things mystical began in childhood. From a young age, she felt a connection to something more than what she could see and feel in this physical world. As her intuition developed, so did her sensitivity to the energy of others here and on the “other side.” Inspired by her family lineage, she undertook an intensive period of study with a variety of internationally renowned teachers, astrologers, and tarot readers to clarify her own experiences, find her voice, and refine her ability to share her intuition with others. She takes great pride in being able to reflect that knowledge to each person who comes to her seeking answers and guidance.

I’ve had the privilege of having Rebecca hold space for me in readings, and I marveled at Rebecca’s ability to dial into the most important issue that I presented while also staying very present. I felt really seen and at the same time, deeply held.
