Reading Big O — The Hermit, The Lovers & Breaking Free from the Devil at Work | Astrology Ride of the Day

This one-on-one tarot reading digs into a card pull of the Lovers, the High Priestess, the Magician, and the Eight of Pentacles for a guest named Big O — building a picture of someone emotionally driven to communicate through material creation, but caught between two life paths symbolized by the Hermit and the Lovers. The High Priestess (the Moon) represents Big O's emotional body, currently sitting in the sign of the Hermit — pointing to a need for solitude, self-study, and freedom from outside influence in order to communicate authentically, versus the temptation of the Lovers' path of choices between vice and virtue, symbolized by his past struggle between studying and going out. Big O reveals he's chosen to relocate to Rome specifically to embrace this Hermit energy, escaping the judgment and boundaries of his small hometown, which he describes feeling like the Devil card's chains. The conversation turns to his professional life, where he manages eleven employees who depend on him and love his surprising, generous gestures — despite Big O admitting he sometimes "acts like the devil" at work, creating a codependent dynamic where his team can't function without him. The reading closes on a pointed question: why does responsibility feel like such a burden, and what would it take to break free from that chained, devil-card dynamic both professionally and personally? Know thyself. Balance your energy. Takeaways: 1. A four-card pull (Lovers, High Priestess, Magician, Eight of Pentacles) reveals a person emotionally driven to communicate through material creation, with the Moon (emotions) sitting in the sign of the Hermit. 2. The Hermit represents solitude and self-study as the healthier path to emotional balance and authentic communication, contrasted with the Lovers card's tug-of-war between vice and virtue — represented here by past choices between studying and going out. 3. Relocating to Rome is framed as consciously embracing Hermit energy, escaping the judgment and restrictive "devil card" boundaries of a small hometown. 4. At work, managing eleven employees who depend on and adore him creates a codependent dynamic — his team believes the system would collapse without him, tying directly into seventh-house themes of business contracts and codependency. 5. The reading closes by questioning why responsibility feels like such a heavy burden, and what breaking free from that "chained to the devil" dynamic — both professionally and personally — might actually look like.

The King Walks Into the Throne Room— Jupiter in Leo

What next year holds has already started. Creative output — self-expression, entertainment, music, independent media — gets a tailwind it hasn't had in twelve years. Confidence returns to the collective, making people more willing to launch something, perform publicly, teach what they know, and finally step into leadership they've been circling for years. Individual creators keep becoming institutions in their own right, the distance between one person and a global audience shrinking. Jupiter in Leo favors those willing to stand behind their own name rather than hide behind someone else's brand. The image to carry through the next twelve months: a king walking into a throne room. Not because this transit is about ruling anyone — because the moment that figure enters, every eye goes straight to the throne, whether they meant to look or not. Some will inherit the spotlight, some will seize it, some will actually deserve it, and some will only perform deserving it. That's the question Jupiter in Leo puts in front of everyone for the next twelve months. Know thyself. Balance your energy. Takeaways: 1. This transit brings a real tailwind to creative self-expression and independent media, restoring collective confidence to launch, perform, and step into leadership long circled but avoided. 2. Individual creators continue becoming institutions in their own right, shrinking the distance between one person and a global audience — Jupiter in Leo favors standing behind your own name. 3. The central question of this transit is whether the spotlight is genuinely earned or merely performed — some will inherit it, some will seize it, but only some will actually deserve it.

The Convergence — Tarot Edition: The Fool Already Leapt, Now Comes the Apprenticeship | Astrology Ride of the Day

This active spread runs July 7th through August 1st, tracing the same numerical thread across three cards in three seats. The Fool, unnumbered and unattached, has already leapt into the Lovers — landing not as an ending, but the beginning of an apprenticeship, mirrored by the Hanged Man turning reversed inside the Emperor (surrender occupying the throne of pure will) and Judgement already reversed inside the Star (a reckoning happening beneath a card meant to signal hope). The Hanged Man sits at the exact midpoint between the Fool and Judgement, connected supportively to both while the Fool and Judgement flow in full harmony with each other — meaning the leap and the reckoning already know how to work together, but neither gets to skip the surrender in between. Beneath all three, the Magician sits reversed inside the Chariot (flipped into riot — loss of control, especially around home and family), meaning this entire apprenticeship runs through inherited, ancestral territory whether anyone signed up for it or not. The number four (foundation, the Emperor's own card) anchors the whole convergence — the Hanged Man dissolving, Judgement transforming, the Fool shocking the system, all landing on the one number meant to hold weight. Finally, the World sits within the Emperor itself, representing genuine completion — but only for what's actually been earned through the fall, the audit, and the leap. The Fool already jumped. What's left is learning to actually pick up the tools. Know thyself. Balance your energy. Takeaways: 1. The Fool has already leapt into the Lovers, while the Hanged Man (reversed in the Emperor) and Judgement (reversed in the Star) do the slower work of surrender and reckoning that the leap still needs to land successfully. 2. The Hanged Man sits at the exact midpoint between the Fool and Judgement — the leap and the reckoning already flow together in harmony, but neither can skip the surrender required in between. 3. The Magician sits reversed inside the Chariot (flipped into riot), specifically tied to home and family — meaning this entire apprenticeship runs through inherited, ancestral patterns rather than abstract collective forces. 4. The number four, the Emperor's own number, anchors the whole convergence as the foundation everything is landing on — the difference between a structure that survives this shock and one that collapses along with it. 5. The World sits within the Emperor's own throne, representing genuine completion — but only for what's actually been earned through the fall, the honest audit, and the leap already taken.

Live Birthday Game with Carrie, Walter & the Crew — Astrology, Symbols & the Zodiac Hidden in the Bible | Astrology Ride of the Day

This live session opens with a deep dive into how the four Gospels of the Bible are tied directly to the fixed signs of the zodiac — Matthew (Aquarius, the face of a man), Mark (Leo, the lion), Luke (Taurus, the bull or ox), and John (Scorpio's higher octave, the eagle) — a connection preserved in old Bibles, the Book of Kells, and cathedral stained glass across Europe, pointing to how deeply astrology was woven into early Christian symbolism. From there, the conversation opens into a live "birthday game," where guests call out their sun signs and birthdates to receive an on-the-spot tarot archetype reading tied to their decan. Guest Walter shares a powerful story of a life-altering ATV accident in 2016 that broke her neck and back, describing it as a spiritual awakening tied to Neptune retrograde in Pisces and her natal Pluto-Mercury connection — framing the trauma not as tragedy but as the greatest gift she ever received. Guardian shares her own story of surviving 16 years in a controlling religious cult, escaping a marriage built on control, and rebuilding her identity and creative expression through art, symbols, and sigil work drawn from a profound near-death experience involving a geometric pattern she later connected to ceremonial magic and the concept of angelic geometry. Throughout, each guest's chart is read live — decans, ascendants, North Nodes — revealing shared threads of transformation, creative expression, and the tension between vulnerability and self-protection. The session closes on themes of energy, intention, and the difference between manipulative "black magic" and empowering "white magic," framed simply as using energy to lift others up rather than subvert their will. Know thyself. Balance your energy. Takeaways: 1. The four Gospels of the Bible correspond directly to fixed zodiac signs — Matthew (Aquarius), Mark (Leo), Luke (Taurus), and John (Scorpio's higher octave, the eagle) — a connection preserved in historical religious art and older Bible printings. 2. Guest Walter shares how a severe 2016 ATV accident, tied astrologically to Neptune retrograde in Pisces and her natal Pluto-Mercury aspect, became a profound spiritual awakening rather than simply a tragedy. 3. Guardian's story of escaping a 16-year controlling religious cult illustrates how creative expression through symbols and art became a form of catharsis when personal expression was suppressed. 4. A live "birthday game" demonstrates how sun sign, decan, and rising sign combine to reveal a person's core tarot archetype and life themes in real time. 5. The session closes by distinguishing "black magic" (manipulating or subverting another's will) from "white magic" (using energy to elevate yourself and others toward your highest potential) — framing both as different uses of the same underlying energetic principle.

Brain Repair — Boundaries: The Seven Types, Healthy Communication & Why No Is One of the Two Hardest Words to Say | Astrology Ride of the Day

Paul, Mental Reset, and Rafiki are back for an episode on boundaries. Rafiki went into a family gathering with a boundary already set — no matter what happens I am not feeding into it — and came out unscathed for the first time. That is what pushed this conversation. Seven types of boundaries — physical, emotional and mental, spiritual and religious, time, sexual, financial and materialistic, and non-negotiables. Christians knocking on doors and the boundary of having someone else's beliefs forced on you. Why people pleasers never know their own worth because they keep choosing everyone else's feelings over their own. Mental Reset's model — forget their feelings — and the deeper truth that by not saying what you need to say you are actually saying forget my own feelings instead. The two hardest words to say are yes and no. Training people how to treat you. Having the tough conversation in a loving way without coming out of character. Why some people are in the grave because someone didn't respect a boundary. You are going to feel a thousand percent better once you set them and stand on them. Know thyself. Balance your energy. Takeaways 1. Setting a boundary before entering a difficult situation — deciding in advance not to engage with the fire regardless of what gets thrown — is the practical application of boundary work, and Rafiki's family gathering story proves the technique works even when you can feel the darts flying. 2. People pleasers avoid setting boundaries because they fear rejection and worry about how others perceive them, which means they are perpetually choosing other people's comfort over their own needs — the reframe is that what others think of you is none of your business, and the work is making that truth operational rather than just theoretical. 3. The seven types of boundaries cover physical space, emotional and mental state, spiritual and religious beliefs, personal time, sexual consent, financial limits, and non-negotiables — each one requires knowing your own limits well enough to name them, which means people who are out of touch with their emotions cannot accurately set or enforce any of them. 4. Not saying what needs to be said to protect someone else's feelings means choosing their comfort over your own emotional truth — you go home frustrated while they go home unbothered, which means the person you actually said forget your feelings to was yourself. 5. Healthy boundaries improve self-esteem and self-worth, deepen understanding of personal limits, create opportunities for healthy communication, and develop the ability to say no without guilt — all of which compound over time into a clearer sense of identity and a more selective, sustainable Circle of relationships.
