Have you ever found yourself caught between the free-spirited pursuit of creativity and the weighty demands of responsibility? Join me, Alexandra, as I unpack the Ten of Wands from The Dark Mansion Tarot—a card that perfectly encapsulates this tension. Imagine a young boy, burdened with heavy logs, trudging toward a distant city, symbolizing the struggle between carefree Sagittarius and disciplined Saturn. This imagery resonates deeply with my own life as I juggle the pressures of producing Intimate Tarot and embarking on a new path in end-of-life doula training. Listen as I reflect on this card's symbolism, sharing personal insights and examining how these themes echo in my natal chart with Saturn in Sagittarius in the 8th house.

Determined to maintain momentum with the podcast—having achieved 1,000 downloads in just three months—I explore the fear of losing traction and the compulsion to press on despite mounting commitments. Through the narrative of the Ten of Wands, I draw parallels between the boy's inherited duties and my own sense of urgency to continue creating. The universe seems to align with this journey, urging me to balance passion with responsibility. As I share this episode, discover how Saturn's lessons in self-discipline and wisdom play a vital role in my creative and professional endeavors.

Ever had a simple act of burning sage turn into a neighborhood spectacle? Join me, Alexandra, as I recount a day when my well-intentioned sage ritual became the talk of the block, thanks to Mercury in Scorpio and a full moon's cosmic chaos. What started as a neighborly prayer spiraled into a whirlwind of anxiety, a smoke alarm frenzy, and an unexpected visit from the fire department. This episode uncovers how these seemingly trivial moments hold the power to teach us profound lessons. Through the lens of the Ace of Swords, we explore the poignant clarity that emerges from these minor arcana experiences, blending ordinary life with heightened emotions and cosmic alignments.

In our midnight musings, a revelation struck me with the force of a sword: the art of burning sage safely, especially with little ones around, is more consequential than it seems. This episode lets you in on a late-night conversation that shifted my perspective on smoke and safety, offering valuable insights into the small yet significant realizations that can reshape our lives. It's a journey of understanding the wisdom hidden in everyday moments and how conversations with friends can light the way.
