Aries Rising 2026 Chart Reading [Part 1]

Sag Risings, Are You Blocked? + Cancer Risings, Find Your Inner Joy

Feeling creatively stuck? Cards might have something to say about that. In this episode, we test out a tarot spread we found online focused on uncovering creative blocks. With Saturn and Neptune moving into the fifth house for Sagittarius risings, the timing felt too perfect not to try. We pull three cards to dig into what is really holding Sag risings back from their spark and what it might take to get the creative energy flowing again. Then, with Cancer season right around the corner, we pivot to a second spread all about inner joy for Cancer risings. The cards come in hot and we break it all down in our signature "we are learning this too" way. Whether you are a Sagittarius rising feeling creatively drained, a Cancer rising stepping into your season, or just someone curious about what tarot has to say, this one is for you. No tarot experience needed. Just an open mind and maybe a deck nearby.

What's Hiding in Your Shadow? A Beginner's Guide to Shadow Work with Tina Todaro

Ever heard the term "shadow work" and just nodded along, hoping no one would ask you what it means? Same. This week, we're finally diving deep — and we brought the perfect guide. We sat down with Tina Todaro, owner of Sacred Journey crystal shop in Watauga, Texas, to unpack everything shadow work actually is (hint: it's way more than journaling prompts). Tina breaks down what your "shadow" really is, why ignoring it leads to self-sabotage, and how your relationships are literally a mirror of your inner world. We also get into toxic positivity, anger, inner child healing, and why accepting your shadow might just be the most radical thing you can do for yourself. We cover: * What shadow work actually is — and what it isn't * Why your shadow holds your biggest untapped potential * How to start if you've never done any inner work before * Journaling, shamanic journeys, and oracle decks as tools for shadow work * Which astrology placements feel shadow work the most (👀 Scorpio, we see you) * Whether shadow work replaces therapy — spoiler: it doesn't Whether you're shadow-work-curious or you've been avoiding this conversation for years, this episode is your sign to start. No pressure, just some curious companions stumbling through it together.
