Moon to Moon

It's my honor and joy to share this rich, sincere, probing conversation Nick Kepley of In Search of Tarot podcast. I saw that Nick was constellating a virtual conference this June 4-28 called Meet Me at The Margin and I felt an immediate impulse to have them come on Moon to Moon to talk about it. My dream is for this experience to find its way to those who long for it. Meet Me at The Margin is a month-long virtual conference for queer people who want to reclaim and re-story their innate capacity for ambiguity, paradox, and liminality. Through a series of eight workshops facilitated by some of today’s most Marginal thinkers, participants explore queerness through the lenses of tarot, astrology, narrative therapy, eco-mythology, archetype, art, and more.  REGISTER FOR MEET ME AT THE MARGIN Nick Kepley is a queer, non-binary Tarot reader, writer, teacher, and anarchist who believes in the power of words and their complete inability to describe reality. They are the co-creator of the In Search of Tarot guided journal collection, and the creator and co-host of the In Search of Tarot podcast. In addition to offering readings, Nick teaches tarot extensively throughout the year. They are currently curating Meet Me at The Margin, a month-long virtual conference for queer people who want to reclaim and re-story their innate capacity for ambiguity, paradox, and liminality, which will run June 4-28.

This episode is a transmission without a plan. It was clear that my guidance wanted me to just trust in the unfolding, like floating down a river and reporting what I see. I invite the listener to participate in congealing what comes through into a theme that resonates. In the episode, I share the name of the wonderful tarot reader and human Mallory Dowd. I highly recommend booking with Mallory! Register for Unshaming the Signs: Gemini - it's free this time! Come because you love it already. Come because you've been wondering what it's like.

"I realize now that I came to astrology to heal shame, though I didn't know that at the time. I had never really put the word shame on my experience. But I now see that shame was the baseline of my personality. I had an apology for my existence somewhere in any conversation, any project, any situation. Whether it was the perceived too-gruesome parts of me I was apologizing for, or even for the perceived too-perfect parts of me. I just wanted to apologize to everyone. "I'm sorry I exist." But back then I didn't know that what I was swimming in was a sea of shame. It feels really foreign to me to talk about that now. It's not that I don't have shame that I notice. It's just that now I notice it because I'm not so immersed in it that I can't even see it. I tap on new layers of it all the time. And I know what to do to help myself and to resource myself. What I see in working with other people is that shame is the thing that's always present. Shame is the thing we're all carrying around. Whether we think that word is something we associate with or not. Maybe you call it the inner critic. Maybe you call it self-sabotage. Maybe you're attached to the word guilt or regret or self-mistrust. To me, it's all a shame problem." For astrology to be helpful, it has to help us with shame, because we cannot vision exciting futures when we see life through a shame lens. Unshaming the Signs is a framework for calling in this approach to speaking astrology. It's a healing-focused approach to astrology. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. Let me know what you think! REGISTER FOR THE UNSHAMING THE SIGNS: ARIES WORKSHOP! It's Friday, April 7, 3-5 pm CST. Replay available if you miss it.

My current musings, questions, invitations, and contemplations on Saturn and/in Pisces. So much to say here as these are arguably two of my favorite archetypes in all of astrology. This won't be the last time I discuss Saturn in Pisces on Moon to Moon, but it's the first. If the episode and/or M2M speaks to you, I would be so excited to receive your review. Thank you. Work with me one-on-one and explore Saturn in Pisces in your chart. +++ Podcast art by Angela George. Podcast music by Jonathan Koe.

This is a deeply meaningful episode for me. My guests are Rebecca Padgett and Bridget Scanlon, two women I've known for several years now. Listeners, give yourself some space for this one! It's deep and slow and rich and wise. The best kind of M2M! It's my hope that you find something supportive to you here for your shadow work path.  You may remember Rebecca (she/her) from episode 69 titled "This Is Who I Am Now" Emerging as a Mystic with Rebecca Padgett." Rebecca is a mystic, artist, and oracle devoted to the unseen world, living in an old farm house in Ontario, Canada. Rebecca is the 13th Reader for this year The Magician's Table.   Bridget (she/her) has also been on M2M before in the episode 64 "Astrology as a Community Constellator." Bridget is a mystic and an astrologer living in New York City.  Thank you both for bringing your wisdom to M2M. It's such an honor to know you.

In this solo show, I share what's been coming through as the core teaching from across the past lunar cycle.  Topics include:  - the Aquarius invitation to separate enough from others people to hear our own unique frequency  - how connecting to your frequency is a responsibility to both yourself and to the collective  - how your refusal to be standardized isn't personal, though it may feel like that to people who want to tell you who you should be - how participating in your unique frequency may be triggering to others but it's not your job to be palatable or understandable to everyone  - how participating is a surrendering to your being nature, and how this is vulnerable  - how we might not feel ready to participate because of that vulnerability but the desire to connect with our assignment wants us to do it anyway  - how our frequency is powered by the core striving of our spirit, and how crucial it is to understand that striving  After moving through the insights, I share what's been coming up in my world because these are the factors contributing to the insights. These include:  - getting my edits back from the publisher, which disrupted my long-held narrative that institutions won't get me or support my frequency  - Mars direct enactments  - what I'm learning about healing in my course Astrology as Praxis  - what I'm learning about promo from The Magician's Table  - facing my fear of "not readiness" and practicing psychic offerings  - honoring a year ago when Matt and I broke up for a week and then totally renewed our contract I sincerely hope this episode will be helpful and resonant to those it magnetizes.  If you enjoy the episode, let me know! I would love to receive your 5-star rating and review. Thank you so much to those who've already given one!  The Magician's Table is open for application!

This is a topic that continues to teach and humble me. It's so potent, juicy, and rich. It's also very healing.  The truth of it comes down to vulnerability. Being witnessed and being a witness are both deeply vulnerable experiences. As I share, the root of vulnerable come from "to wound," such that vulnerability means our capacity to be wounded. What does it mean to be openly seen as capable of being wounded and to still show up anyway with your magical gifts in service to others? This is what I most care about.  My guests for this conversation are the very magical Cole, Jaclyn, Mary, and Kelsey. Their full bios are named in the intro. Here are their short bios: - Cole (she/her) is a word weaver, tarot traveler, and magic maker. You can follow her on IG at @rosiecolereads.   - Jaclyn Skeans (she/her) is an avid list maker (Virgo Rising), lover of all things magical (Pisces Sun), and always curious about how you’re really doing (Scorpio Moon). She believes in the power of having a dream and doing the work to bring that dream down to reality. You can follow her at www.thePeachBungalow.com or on IG @thePeachBungalow.  - Mary Schuch (she/her) is committed to showing up for the experience of belonging in a human body. In this lifetime, Mary is steadily walking a resonant path and striving to remember the inherent relationality of all beings. Follow her on IG @maryschuch and at her podcast My Life is Better with You In It.  - Kelsey Brooks (she/her) is a Libra Sun, Aquarius Moon, Libra Rising. She is dedicated to the path that brings her back home to herself, no matter how many shifts in direction, how far away it may stray or even crumble completely. Reach out to Kelsey via email at reverie.lane4@gmail.com.  Throughout our conversation, we talk about the experiential learning container I steward known as The Magician's Table. If you are resonating with the experience and want to explore joining this year's cohorts, please check out the course page and mind the dates.  2/22 is the Early Bird Deadline.

I recorded this episode at the exact hour of my Saturn Opposition. In this episode, I honor Saturn and Venus both, who have been guiding me to see how support - seen and unseen - is more available than we know.  In this episode, I talk about - what it means to be a steward of one's creative offerings  - how to listen to constriction in the body and let it tell you what it's story is so you can act in the world from a re-patterned place  - Venus-Saturn dynamics  - The Magician card  - what it means to be "in" your channel  - how being deeply aligned with your unique channel creates new collective futures (Leo-Aquarius)  The Magician's Table is a life-changing, 3-month community container for getting intimate with your personal magic and how you share it with others. It's one of my core offerings, now in its 3rd iteration.  “The Magician’s Table is much more than just a course. It’s a journey, and a rite of passage for those wanting not only to develop their skills in readership, but to deepen the connection between their personal practice and their presence in connection and community. I cannot recommend TMT highly enough if you feel you are on the threshold of transformation and are ready to see new possibilities for yourself in your path as a reader and magic-maker!” - Art Heals Earth creator Megan Reich, Minnesota Applications are now open! APPLY HERE  Check out the course page to learn details and feel into the resonance of the energetics. Lots more on TMT in the month to come here on M2M. There will of course be a slew of incendiary posts (lol) on Instagram, and then my newsletter will lay out a lot of what you need to know as inspiration comes to me.  I call my promotional periods Promo Magic because I see promo as an opportunity to dance wildly inside the heat of my passion of an offering. I want you to feel like you're learning and transforming from the promo whether or not you have any intention of signing up for something I am selling. I love love love promo. It's such a zingy and alive and liminal space for me. I hope you feel it and find something catalyzing and inspiring for your creative life.  ***  Pisces season approaches and Saturn is moving into Pisces.
