Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we're going to be called to really evaluate why we're saying yes to the things we are that are out of alignment for us. Not necessarily the stuff we absolutely have to do, but the shit we don't absolutely have to do, but agree to take on anyway. Is it fawning? People pleasing? Wanting folks to read our minds? This week reminds us that we have work to do, and in order to do it, we have to really audit what might be standing in the way of that work being able to have our full (or partial) attention.

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we have a really tender and vulnerable invitation to trust deeply in the unseen magic in our lives. It is going to call on us to lean into our gifts, expressing our desires and wishes, despite potentially any evidence around whether it's truly "working" or bringing anything new into our lives. What is here no longer serves, so we must root into the energy of early Spring, a time when life comes back to itself underneath the very soil we're walking on, and allow our intentions to be planted regardless of reassurances.

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we are being invited to meet the blocked, stuck, tricky places within ourselves and in our lives with fresh perspective, looking for the open windows wherever we encounter locked doors in our lives. It's very much a choose-your-own-adventure this week. The energy of the week ahead might invite us to find new ways to rest and come to stillness for our own nourishment, in spite of all we need to accomplish. We might, in contrast, be invited to come more forward with our energy, tapping into reserves of capacity that we might not have been aware that we had. Either way, it a quietly expansive week ahead, one that has the potential to truly open roads (and windows) in our lives.

Welcome to a new month, and with it, a new Monthly Medicine! Our theme for October is Magic as Refuge. This is a twisty, windy, snake-like, slow roll of a month. It is a candle slowly burning, tea slowly steeping, giving way to itself as we traverse it. We are invited to reclaim and deepen into whatever we feel is rooted in magic, or feels magical in our lives -- as medicine, as refuge. We are invited to get tender, vulnerable, truthful, to bring our whole heart and soul to our relationship with that magic, to really ask for what we want and are hoping for. The rest of the month is a complex web of invitations, some that will ask us to slow down, pause and reorient, and some that will call on us to put our foot on the gas a little more than we have been. Through it all, magic remains the North Star. How can you bow over to the invitation, reclaiming and rejoicing in your own magic, in the most open and curious way possible through the month ahead?

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we have a straightforward-on-paper (likely deeply complex in practice) invitation to answer and heed a deep internal call for self tending, sacred space, and personal renewal. We've been needing it for a long time, and this week is going to call on us to get serious about responding to it. May that call be answered so our cup can be refilled and some of our energy can be restored.

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we have a very complex, interesting invitation from the cards we pulled. We're being invited to strongly evaluate some of our deeply held beliefs and stories that have us feeling caught, trapped, and resentful. Some of this work will be considering whether they still ring as truth for us, and making choices and moving in new directions based on what we find. No matter what, our invitation is to See To It (thank you Octavia Butler!) this week, to take aligned and inspired action where and how we can, in newfound and expansive ways.

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we're being invited to think about what we're longing to build, nourish, and create -- how can we take the first step to plant the seed for that vision? What will it take to hold the big picture, to allow that seed to become a full garden in our lives? And how can we work with the inevitable feelings of regret, worry, and hopelessness that can come with such an invitation?

Welcome to a new week, loves, and with it a new weekly Soul Tarot download! This week, we are really being invited to focus on our trust: trust in timing, trust in the unfolding of things.

Welcome to a new month, and with it, a new Monthly Medicine! Our theme for September is Gifts Within the Fog. This is a month of deep work, one that will ask for patience, and a willingness to trust in the unfolding of things, in terms of aligned timing.

August is an Eclipse month, and the guidance on what we are being invited to pay attention to is — for once — blissfully clear: pleasure, joy, receiving, delight, and goodness are your birthrights, your earthrights. Reclaim them, encircle them in your arms, and don’t let them go. Amid all the peaches, all the fruits you’ve cultivated and given away, savor some for yourself, too. Perhaps more than you are giving away to others, especially for the month ahead.

July is a strong invitation to stretch out of our comfort zone and ask for more support: support we need, support we desire, support we prefer. Whether it be from neighbors, friends, family, or the spiral/spirit realm, this month is going to really push us to evaluate our stories around community care, and challenge us to birth a new way. July wants us reaching for pleasure, expansion, and new pathways at every chance we have, and has the potential to be wildly transformative, if we choose to dive in and work with it.

Nature is medicine, and is a deep and wise teacher for each of us, no matter who and where we are, or what stage of our journey we are in. Through our perpetual transitions, metamorphoses, awakenings, and healing processes, nature is there as a steady guide and witness for us. Our guest on the podcast today, the incredible Willow Defebaugh of Atmos, has dedicated their life to exploring and unpacking these themes, which we dive into in our beautiful conversation today. Together, Willow dives into how they came to this path in life, how nature has been a teacher and guide for her, how grief is the key to being the stewards and caretakers that the Earth is longing for us to be, and so, so much more. About Willow Willow Defebaugh is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Atmos, an award-winning multimedia platform that seeks to re-enchant people with the Earth.

June is tricky and interesting, in terms of energetic invitation. The medicine and balm is clear: rest where you can, reach for pleasure, joy, deep nourishment and laughs where you can, but there is so much more going on under the surface of the month, in terms of invitation. So much process, tons of invitations to dive into deep healing and clearing, likely with some foundations under us feeling like they are more shaky than usual. No matter what life might bring, we are encouraged to stay firmly planted in the realm of what sustains and pours back into our well (this month and beyond).

My (newly bestselling!) book and Tarot deck are out! Click to order and click here to join me on my book tour Asia Suler's work has always reminded me of the Beltane/Samhain portal. It is so lush, rich, and fragrant, such a celebration of the beauty and magic of life, while holding clear and reverent space for the unseen, unknown, and otherworldly realms. It it so fitting that I had the pleasure of having a lovely conversation with Asia for the podcast around this time on the wheel of the year, speaking about everything from parenthood to neurodivergence to magic to healing and so much more. Asia Suler is a writer, teacher, earth intuitive, the author of Mirrors in the Earth and the host of Remember Why You Are Here. Asia began her journey after early years of chronic pain and illness. The experience— which pushed her into a deep search for healing, both within and without— led her to the altar of the green world and the creation of her online sanctuary, which offers educational experiences in herbalism,…

How devoted to life are we willing and available to be? How much pleasure are we willing to embrace? It’s a BIG month, filled with lots of birth/bloom energy, while simultaneously holding a lot of space for ease, joy, and non-doing. I know I have spoken ad nauseam about my adoration of lilacs in various places in my work (see above for one of many), but they really are so special to me. They come and go so quickly, and I really do love to drink them in while I can. It feels like a death meditation that I am very devoted to: drink in the flowers while they are in bloom, show up and live while you can, as you can. This is very similar to what we will be experiencing and invited into in the month of May. Reading for the month ahead: Card for the month ahead: King of Wands Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Two of Pentacles How can we best work with it?: Seven of Wands What is calling for our attention: Nine of Pentacles Aligned action we are invited to take, if any: Seven of Cups A message from our Guides: Nine of…

Things are actually shifting, changing, and moving in the month ahead -- our 2026/Wheel of Fortune year finally living up to it's reputation. Our theme for the month of April is Rushing River, or Rushing Water, and we are invited to take the spirit of that image and apply it to our own lives. The river of our lives is not dry or slow moving this month; it is finally full and flowing, illuminating things clearly and helping us to grow. We are transforming and evolving this month, finally able to take action on things that have felt obscured or shrouded for too long. All we need to do is trust it.

Pisces season is such a powerful time to examine the material we carry that lives under the surface, under the waves, and outside of the realm of the unseen. It also could not be a more perfect time to dive into a rich conversation with the brilliant and beautiful Lisa Olivera -- it is such an honor to have her on the podcast today!

March wants us to remember that things are not always as they seem. It is so important in these moments to remember that nothing is permanent; nothing is forever. Our theme for the month ahead is Take Heart. This month, it will be so important to take heart, to stay closely tethered and connected to that deep, wise part of us. It will be so important to retreat, take space for ourselves, get regular reminders of the truths that we need reflected back to us. It will be so important to reach and make space for friends, belly laughs, communal dinners, peaceful moments. This particular month is a very strong cycle of deep night, and in that night, we are going to be called to be persistent about regularly lighting the candles, torches, hearth fires, and lanterns that warm and help us to see more clearly. What makes you feel comforted and soothed? What helps you to be peaceful? What helps you to remember truth when things feel full of illusion and permanence in ways we don’t prefer? Card for the month ahead: Page…

February is a beautiful, transformative portal, one that has the capacity to truly change and alter aspects of our lives that have been stuck and unyielding for so long. The theme for our month ahead is From Knot to Straight Rope. In February, we will likely be confronted with some of our deep "knots," ones that have felt perpetually twisted, confused, and tricky. We actually have the potential to unknot them this month, and smooth them into something new. Once that has shifted, what could be possible for us? The options are endless. Between the cards for our month ahead, the energy of the upcoming Eclipses, and the full might of this 1/10/19 year going into full effect, February is gearing up to be a truly profound experience of deep change for us, personally and collectively. Card for the month ahead: Eight of Swords Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Ace of Pentacles How can we best work with the energy of the month ahead?: Ace of Wands, Rx What are we being invited to pay attention to?: Three of Wands…

2026 is finally here! We made it 🙌 Our theme for January of 2026 is Brand New Day. That's an incredibly accurate way to frame this cycle. With the dawning of this new year, it is truly a paradigm shift, and a pivot into a whole host of newfound energies and invitations. This is largely true of all new year thresholds, but it is especially true in 2026. We're working with some powerhouse energies this month, all to support our shift into this new paradigm. What cannot come with us into 2026? January will be the time to really evaluate that, and to trust the process as new doors open, and old ones close. Transcript can be found on Spotify!

Want a full deep dive on 2026? Check out Lindsay's offering, The Threshold, a channeled download for 2026 and your year ahead! In this Year Ahead episode, Lindsay Mack and Jeff Hinshaw explore 2026 as a powerful turning point after several liminal years. They reflect on 2025 as deeply Piscean, shaped by Neptune’s long journey through Pisces since 2011 and marked by the year of the Hermit and themes of grief, waiting, and dissolution. In contrast, 2026 emerges as a universal 1 year, aligned with the Magician, Wheel of Fortune, and Sun in the Tarot, signaling initiation, clarity, momentum, and a return to spiritual authority. Astrologically, the conversation centers on a major generational shift as both Neptune and Saturn leave Pisces and enter Aries, ushering in a fire-driven era focused on action, identity, and leadership. A pivotal week in February sets the tone, with Saturn entering Aries, an Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse aligned with the Chinese New Year, Year of the Fire Horse, and the rare…

We made it! The last month of 2025 is here! We are already on that sacred energetic bridge, one that guides us from one year to another -- this particular December is giving us so much to play and work with in order to be ready to greet 2026 with open arms. The theme of the month ahead is Compost. What unfinished business remains active and present in your life? What old cords need to be cut? What have you been hanging onto, or dragging your feet on for fear of messing up, making a mistake, or making the wrong choice? This month will be here to help you to clear the deck and start anew, and move into the new year with a clean and ready slate. Our Soul Tarot Reading for December Card for the month ahead: Ten of Wands Rx Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Queen of Pentacles How can we best work with it?: The Tower What are we being invited to pay attention to: Knight of Pentacles, The Devil, & Seven of Swords Aligned action to take, if any: Five of Swords Message from our Guides: The Emperor Your Anchor and Support…

How can we wisely, tenderly, and radically care for ourselves in vulnerable, challenging moments? How can we show up for others when they are in the same state? This is (just) one of the big questions that this very big and significant month will be posing to us. November really has the capacity to reorient us, in terms of our work in this world, our purpose, and call to service. It has the ability to really shift the ways in which we habitually respond to ourselves and others. May we show up in radical, tender care in all moments, joyous, challenging, and everything in between.

The water is flowing, the metaphorical arrow is flying through the air -- finally, with the month of October comes the movement, clarity, and expansion we've been waiting for. The theme of the month ahead is Create, and if we're willing to work with it, we can make extraordinary moves in our lives. The big work we will be doing this month isn't actually in the act of creating itself, but the resistance and inner protection that lies between us and this proverbial river, or arrow. The key for us will be to hold the aspects of us that have misgivings and doubts about this process, while taking those longed for leaps into creation and movement at the same time.

September isn't likely to be the month we want, but it is the one we need. The theme for the month ahead is Dissatisfaction, not necessarily because it is an altogether negative or unacceptable cycle of time, it's just not necessarily tending to our larger desires and concerns. It is a piece of tape for a very large leak -- not ultimately the most ideal tool, but there is medicine in what it's offering. Our job this month will be to: 1. Work with and surrender to the Eclipses, 2. Align ourselves with the nourishment of the cards we pulled in this reading, and: 3. Remember that it is a 9/Hermit year. Ultimately completely dissatisfying, if we're seeking linearity, answers to our questions, and insight on what to do next.

What do you do when you know you're complete with something, but aren't quite sure what lies ahead on the other side? Today on the TFTWS pod, we're talking about completion cycles and Anchor Cards to help to contextualize them, how to navigate intuition when you've also experienced trauma and have a very strong protector brain, and how I'm navigating this in my own life right now.

Finally -- after what has felt like forever -- August gets things moving, flowing, and clicking again. The theme of this month is Catapult for a reason. This isn't a chaotic, frantic, frightening launch into the void. We have been preparing for this for a long time, a time when we finally get some clarity, or are able to move the needle in some longed-for way. The "catapult" in question is a sacred, measured, and joyful collaboration with the muses, a serve and return that we've been waiting for. The key for this month? To trust that you are actually ready to receive this. You're ready to move. You're ready to commit. You're more ready to move than you might believe. You have everything you need to do this. Our Soul Tarot Reading for August Card for the month ahead: Page of Swords How the month will feel to us: Knight of Swords and The Sun How to best work with the energy of the month ahead: The Devil Deepest lesson of the month ahead: Page of Wands What we’re being invited to pay attention to most: Justice…

The theme for this month is Asking for What You Need. What is it that you need right now? How can you ask for it (to the degree that you're able to)? July wants to remind you that even the willingness to connect with what we need and desire is a spell. Writing it, praying for it, feeling it, and communicating that longing is all part of the process of tuning in with those needs. This is a watery, swirly, emotional month. It's going to bring us into some old stuff, some outdated debris -- once we face it, we can actually clear it and make way for something new. It's not really going to feel like it in an acute sense, but this month really is building to something important -- it is preparing us for a time of change and necessarily evolution. Coming home to who we are and what we need in this season of life -- and asking for it -- is the big work that lies ahead for all of us this month.

June is a recalibration month of sorts. It's not that we won't be moving, working, and showing up where we're called to, but there will be quite a bit of emphasis on slowing down, tuning in, reevaluating, and perhaps more importantly, digesting. We might not always enjoy or appreciate that pace of things, but it is of huge benefit to us to lean into it. There's a lot to turn over and process before we can move forward into our next chapter. We need closure before we can move on, and that's precisely what June is helping us to take hold of.

When we've lost our way, or are trying to find True North in our lives, the Tarot can be a beautiful tool to help us sense into our way again. But there is no deeper, clearer, finer compass in the Tarot than the Pages: four gloriously potent anchors that can assist us in coming home to the root of our heart, soul, and self. In today's episode, we discuss The Pages from a Soul Tarot perspective, looking at how they present themselves as sacred compasses, and how they occupy a very important role in the flow of the Minor Arcana from Ace to King. ****** Transcript can be found on Spotify!

The clouds are parting, and sunlight is pouring through the curtains. We open the doors and windows, welcoming the fresh air and the light. We allow it to illuminate and touch upon all of the areas of our lives -- both beautiful and challenging -- that have been obscured and unclear for so long. For better or worse, movement and clarity are coming to us this month. What will we choose to do with it? What will we build, foster, and create with this space and time? The theme for the month of May is Let the Light In. It is a profoundly impactful cycle, with an equally powerful reading to match. There will finally be some forward momentum in May. May that movement and illumination be a blessing. ✨ Want some bonus medicine for the month ahead?

As a collective, we are in a profoundly transitional time, crossing a bridge from who we were to who we are becoming. This is something that most of us are feeling on a personal level, too: who are we? What are we feeling called to offer to the world, and how can we be more clear and sure about how to go about it? Whether we are stuck at the gates with our writing process, in our careers, with our love life, with our next steps, or around another sensitive area, we are all feeling this call to pivot and shift. In today's episode, we dive into a gentle and potent reading for this particular in-between season we are all traversing. How can we be present with it, and engage with it in the most graceful and supportive way possible?

The theme for April is Chrysalis. We are no longer a caterpillar, and not completely in the in-between time of transmutation. We are now a fully formed butterfly, our chrysalis clear and transparent, right on the verge of eclosing and emerging from this container. April marks an important period of time where we will be engaging with the inner preparatory work necessary to come into the next iteration of our lives. This month will likely not contain a ton of big clear moments of direction, or a-ha's about what to do next in the way that our ego and heart might long for them. But we are so close to that clarity -- April is going to help us to move into the next phase of our lives, and this reading can help us to understand how to engage with the invitations at hand.
