Incandescent Tarot PodcastJuly 2025 Monthly ForecastJuly highlights the burgeoning excitement, experimentation, and direction of the Two of Wands - this is a month to pay attention to what inspiration is appearing naturally while protecting this tender new growth from harmful influences. The Knight of Swords indicates a critical environment and a choice for us to turn against ourselves or turn against what’s holding us back via the Eight of Swords. The Knight of Pentacles reveals a different approach, one we may already be taking behind the scenes: slow, diligent, and dedicated work that can grow to support a meaningful life. Th...2025-07-0219 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastJune 2025 Monthly ForecastA robust and fiery energy for the start of the summer! This spread features the powerful, authoritative Emperor as our theme card. We’re positioned to make big gains this month, using our strength and determination to shape projects, routines, relationships - anything that requires our focus and vision. In our environment position, the Six of Wands shows an abundance of support and collaboration. Success is possible if we engage with others, delegate, and practice mutuality. The challenge, however, is to avoid burnout and emotional withdrawal via the Four of Cups while accepting the fast-moving developments (and successes!) of th...2025-06-0123 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastMay 2025 Monthly ForecastIn May we step out of the world of pentacles and into the suit of swords. Led by the Page of Swords, our theme card, we’re inspired to revisit old narratives and step into a future that has us revising our assumptions and feeling awkward and inspired. The Queen of Swords asks us to be on the lookout for people, resources, and situations that encourage us to think flexibly and to trust our powers of discernment. It’s a powerful time to shift our viewpoint around struggle and effort: Will we choose to feel put upon and irritated like...2025-05-0325 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastApril 2025 Monthly ForecastApril sees us stepping onto the throne of the King of Pentacles as we’re asked to appreciate and be empowered by our increased ability to support ourselves, our lives, and communities. All things pentacles are getting a refresh as this powerful card joins forces our envrionment card, the Seven of Pentacles. What actions, plans, projects, and jobs have yielded results? Do you like them? This month gives us a wonderful opportunity to edit and prune our growing plans. Our challenge comes in the form of the Five of Swords as miscommunication and even betrayal from ourselves and others en...2025-04-0126 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastMarch 2025 Monthly ForecastWell, only 2/4 of this reading are court cards, so it’s an improvement, right? March is set to be an intense month as we contend with the pain of endings via the Ten of Swords and the tempting call to enact consequential change through Judgment. Our opportunity card, the Queen of Cups, however, encourages caution; fiery and impulsive moves characteristic of our challenge card, the King of Wands, may further inflame an already difficult situation. Listen in for the entire forecast and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below! Th...2025-03-0322 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastFebruary 2025 Monthly ForecastWell, we’ve decreased our “court card count” to 50% of the reading, and this month’s spread is, overall, far more gentle than January’s. We begin with an invitation to center ourselves in our networks of care through the Nine of Cups. Emotional and spiritual abundance is backing us as we contend with new inspiration through the Queen of Cups and new ways of thinking through the Ace of Swords. It’s not surprising that our opportunity from last month has pivoted into our challenge for February. Embracing the social intensity and drive of the Queen of Wands threatens to...2025-02-0122 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastAsk a Tarot Reader: Birth Cards & the Tarot Card of the YearThe Ask a Tarot Reader segment is back! This month, we have a timely question from a listener named Kristen, who asks:what is the difference between a personal card of the year vs. the collective card of the year? How would we relate to them differently and how might they affect us differently? My personal card of the year is always the next year’s collective card - I’m specifically, and personally, wondering what your thoughts are on the experience of living with a tarot archetype 2 years in a row (but maybe in a different way...2025-01-0815 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastJanuary 2025 Monthly ForecastWell, dear listeners, we certainly start 2025 with a bang! It’s such a delight to be back recording for you all. Our welcome to the New Year is packed with court cards. Yes, you heard right, 4/4 of our cards are in this group: two queens, one king, and one knight. Phew! January is poised to be full of action, characters, and adventures. We’re being asked to assume the poised and insightful position of the Queen of Swords while dealing with the boisterous and unceasing energy of the Knight of Wands out in the world around us. Reading between the...2025-01-0123 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastFinishing Touches and Healing FocusHello dear subscribers! This forecast is coming to us in a different format because of some unexpected delays this week.

Incandescent Tarot PodcastDecember 2024 Monthly ForecastListen in for a tarot snapshot of the final month of 2024 and reflections on our tour of the Strength card over the past twelve months. Our card for December is Temperance, pointing us to a gentle assimilation of all the lessons we’ve learned about Strength and a period of grace (and hopefully ease) as we conclude the year. We’ll be pulled to make some poignant decisions about leaving parts of our lives behind in search of what we know is right via the Six of Swords while trusting our internal compass to guide the way. Our challenge this...2024-12-0328 min

Incandescent Tarot PodcastNovember 2024 Monthly ForecastJudgment heralds a month of revelation, reckoning, and a final stop before we wrap up our exploration of the Strength card in 2024. While it’s undeniably intense, this card is bolstered by a loving and supportive environment shown in the Ten of Cups. How can we let our relationships and pursuit of meaning bolster us as we approach a momentous change? Our theme card for the previous month, the Queen of Swords, occupies the “challenge” position, urging us to move away from the strategies that worked so well recently. We’ve integrated them successfully and now is a time to step...2024-11-0125 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastSeeking The StarListen in for October’s monthly forecast where the Queen of Wands invites us to take a seat, integrate the lessons we learned from the Knight of Swords last month, and envision a new future. The King of Wands brings both tension and inspiration as the call to do more, produce more, and be more alluring threatens to take us away from our unique perspective and personal healing. We may want to gracefully exit this challenging scenario, but our actual challenge card, the Eight of Cups, instructs us to stay with difficulty and turn away from the distractions of am...2024-10-0228 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastSeptember 2024 Monthly ForecastStrength is back! This month we have our hand’s on the lion’s head, so to speak, as we grapple with a central personal challenge. This is the kind of challenge that, if we approach it bravely, can propel us to the next level. I have a feeling that September will be a month we’ll look back on as a when we really stepped forward and into a deeper relationship with ourselves. Our environment is shown in Justice, a card that instructs us to take our values seriously while remaining open and flexible. Our challenge, the Queen of Pen...2024-09-0124 min

That’s right: 100% archetypal power and intensity.

I’m sending this out to all subscribers since some life chaos prevented me from getting the Weekly Forecast out to you all this week. I’m loathe to skip anything Incandescent Tarot-related, so I hope this makes up for the absence and maybe gives an enticing peek behind the curtain/look at the magical realm of a paid subscription.

Incandescent Tarot PodcastJuly 2024 Monthly ForecastWe’re back down to earth this month, with a natural focus on work, dedication, and follow-through shown in our theme card, the Eight of Pentacles. The first of three consecutive eights, this card positions us as the makers and doers in our own life story. It’s a welcome change from all the Major Arcana energy that’s been animating our past readings, yet three eights is no small matter and perhaps even a shoutout to our card of the year, number eight in the Major Arcana, Strength. We have some lingering swords-issues in the world around us as the...2024-07-0325 min

Incandescent Tarot PodcastJune 2024 Monthly ForecastIn June’s reading we have another court card leading the way. The Queen of Swords encourages us to embrace our power to organize and communicate our thoughts, advocate for ourselves and others, and strive towards a more meaningful and, you guessed it, just world. Yes, Justice is in the air the month as our environment card. We’ll be grappling with how to bring this lofty ideal into our flawed and complicated world, both in our everyday life and our larger communities. While we can accomplish a lot in this space, it’s calling on us to show up min...2024-05-3123 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastMay 2024 Monthly ForecastThis month’s reading has a fresh energy, led by the formidable and fiery King of Wands. In May we'll be stepping into our power and ambition, showing up, and making things happen. Temperance invites us to balance this output with steady, dedicated care for both ourselves and our communities while Judgment gives us a somewhat comical alarm for when we’re getting off-course. Why pass judgment when we can be chill, focusing on tending to our cups? These cards remind us that life is not a zero-sum game and that change does not lead to a static outcome. Not...2024-05-0123 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastAsk a Tarot Reader: Exploring the Tens & Finding The Star in The Hermit's LanternWe’re back at long last with another installment of “Ask a Tarot Reader"! Listen in as I dive into two excellent listener-submitted questions. The first touches on the tens of the minor arcana:“Why do you think the 10’s are so different from each other (or not)? The 10’s of pentacles and cups are so abundant, joyful, and triumphant, while the 10’s of wands and swords are overwhelming, burdensome, and a real bummer. I know there’s a range of what they can represent, but I’m curious about how you’d explain the apparent contrast.”and the second b...2024-04-1226 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastApril 2024 Monthly ForecastWhat a fascinating group of cards for April! This month is animated by the call to move towards peace and fulfillment via the Six of Swords, and it seems as if our environment card, the Ten of Cups, isn’t just giving us a green light, it’s giving us a full-on, resplendent rainbow. This is a long and poignant journey, however, and we’ve been preparing for it for some time. The World from last month gave us a peek at the landscape we’ll be traversing and now our job is to wade into it and stay the cour...2024-04-0129 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastMarch 2024 ForecastThis month we shift from the analytic, sharp swords and into the feeling world of the cups. The Two of Cups sees us reaching out and being received by others. What insights can we gift to those close to us? What can be revealed to us in turn? The Hierophant suggests that there’s profound wisdom to explore in this space and the energy to make headway in areas of our life that give us a sense of meaning and purpose. Our challenge card, the Two of Wands, shows a desire to turn away from all this and keep th...2024-03-0124 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastFebruary 2024 Monthly ForecastFebruary’s reading features a bevy of swords cards. We’re poised to step into the shoes (and throne) of the discerning and stoic King of Swords while struggling against “Knight of Swords impulses” in ourselves and others to rush to conclusions, have the first and last word, and figure it all out. Yet underneath it all, we’re undergoing a slow and steady journey away from ideas and expectations we’ve outgrown. The Six of Swords shows a deliberate choice to take responsibility for ourselves and remain open to input from the world around us. Think sailing across the river vs...2024-02-0123 min

But first, a look at our transition from a Chariot Year (2023) to a year animated by Strength (2024). It’s been a wild ride, and this jump seems both exciting and grounding. The year starts out with a serious and zesty batch of cards. January’s theme is The Hermit, where we travel inward to uncover animating truths that give our lives meaning. The environment is supportive of this quest along with many others touching on themes of romance, connection, and spiritual meaning. The Knight of Cups shows our...2023-12-3121 min

Incandescent Tarot PodcastDecember 2023 Monthly ForecastDecember is here! In this last forecast for 2023, we’re visited by the introspective, questing Hermit who invites us to go inward to find authentic, actionable, and realistic ways to navigate tradition, structure, and lineage represented by The Hierophant (and the entire holiday season). We may find ourselves tempted to overindulge and distract ourselves with celebration and socialization through the Three of Cups; however, healthy expansion can be found in recognizing the meaningful actions we’ve been taking individually and collectively so that we can continue to practice them moving forward.

This spread has a wild repeat, but after a busy event, I knew the draw was thoroughly random, and as much as I’d have loved to not talk about this card again, I do believe that the reading in front of you is exactly the reading you need. And 2) should I re-record? I may not have reacted so elegantly to our repeat visitor!

Incandescent Tarot PodcastOctober 2023 Monthly ForecastWe’ve finally done it! Our two month exploration (expedition? ordeal?) of the Five of Pentacles is over. This month, we’re in a state of natural focus and determination illustrated by the Eight of Pentacles. Following this card’s dedicated work ethic is opening up a world of joyful connections via the Three of Cups, not to mention a dose of much-needed levity and tenderness. Oh, and did I mention traction? We’re being given the unique opportunity to learn more about the tempting dreams that have lured us off our path in the past as the Ace of Penta...2023-10-0131 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastSeptember 2023 Monthly ForecastSeptember brings a rare repeat of our central card from August: The Five of Pentacles. We’re tying up loose ends to this challenging card, yet there’s a welcome source of (unpredictable) change on the horizon as The Wheel of Fortune spins through the areas of our life reflected in the Five of Pentacles, bringing changes of fortune, surprising opportunities, or even rapid breakthroughs. We’ll feel challenged to walk back some of our ambitious plans and dreams with regards to money and career via the Two of Pentacles, yet the Six of Swords shows us how we can mo...2023-09-0128 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastAugust 2023 Monthly ForecastThis month’s reading is tender and intriuging. The hardship of the Five of Pentacles sees us grappling with material restrictions - what is enough? How do we support our lives? - while occupying a much different role than we’re used to via the King of Wands. We may have more resources at hand than we realize, especially those that center our agency, creativity, and energy. Playing it safe like our challenge card, The Queen of Pentacles, may be tempting, but in reality, our opportunity lies in grieving and integrating the messages around scarcity and capability that have held...2023-08-0125 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastJuly 2023 Monthly ForecastJuly arrives with a refreshing shift of energy. Armed with new and inspiring ideas, we’re entering into a phase of mental growth and exploration via the Ace of Swords, our card for the month. Our environment is poised to support the daring personal breakthroughs we’ve been craving as The Sun casts its warm glow on our purusits and inner life. We may be tempted to skip our own coming out party by getting distrated in far-fetched plans or alternate futures a la the Two of Wands. Who could blame us when the success of The Sun is cast...2023-07-0328 min
Incandescent Tarot PodcastJune 2023 Monthly ForecastThe cards in play for June represent a shift into a period of cultivating balance in our work and material lives. The Six of Pentacles appears as our card of the month, showing us motivated to get in touch with our resources. It’s a practical and calming energy that stands in contrast to the world around us, as The Wheel of Fortune brings some change, chaos, and opportunity our way. We’ll be challenged to make sense of it all and drawn to managing our stress through planning and rationalization via the Queen of Swords; however, our true path...2023-06-0123 min

The Emperor as our challenge card shows us just how difficult it can be to remain open, receptive, and flexible, yet the opportunity of the Seven of Cups invites us to trade in fear and avoidance for a healthy dose of weirdness and inspiration.

It may bring up some criticism via the Queen of Swords who wants to frame our mistakes and misfortunes as catastrophe.

The Four of Wands directs us to celebrate and enjoy what’s working in our lives while seeing what we can do to amplify it with the determination and grand vision of The Chariot. We’d be wise, however, not to overburden ourselves with ambition for ambition’s sake or a hefty workload just because we can. Following a speedy path via the Eight of Wands, no matter how tempting, will just bring...2022-12-0125 min

Meanwhile? A powerful call is pushing us towards facing our true self and doing the next big thing, especially if it’s intimidating and requ...2022-11-0127 min

Join us for September’s collective tarot reading as we discuss how personal authority and leadership (The Emperor) can inspire satisfying action (The Seven of Wands) while steering us away from distracting hedonism (The King of Pentacles) and towards mental clarity (The King of Swords).

Incandescent Tarot PodcastAugust 2022 Monthly ForecastA glorious and slightly nerve-wracking group of cards greets us this month, but in a “butterflies before you go on stage” way (instead of“buckling under tons of external pressure”). The Queen of Cups represents the themes of the month: emotional wisdom, dedication to love (romantic and otherwise), and a connection to beauty. The Knight of Pentacles, however, wants to keep things on the straight and narrow, but how could we when The Lovers card shows us a tantalizing and transformative opportunity? The Two of Cups lets us know that piddly distractions may tempt us to sidestep an important choice...2022-07-3024 min

In this episode, I explore the topic of reading for yourself during times of stress which, to be honest, is one of the most common reasons for seeking out tarot readings. How often do we approach the cards, the epitome of collected calm, and ask about something incredibly low stakes like when to do the dishes or where to go for dinner? (Not often! But I recommend you try it sometimes - it’s fun! and a refreshing change.)2022-04-2734 min

Incandescent Tarot PodcastWorking with "Negative" CardsIn this solo episode Gina explores the dark, striking world of “negative cards” - those tarot mainstays like Death, The Tower, and the Ten of Swords that show up in horror movies and challenge us to confront the full range of the human experience. Learn how these cards operate on a spectrum like any other in tarot, often encompassing surprisingly positive notes and meanings. What happens when we engage with “negative” cards from an empowered perspective? What can they teach us? Gina shares personal anecdotes throughout, like how Death and The Tower didn’t actually curse her wedding.2020-11-1250 min

Incandescent Tarot PodcastReading for Yourself vs. Reading for OthersThe Incandescent Tarot Podcast is finally here! In this episode I introduce the podcast as a whole and then dive into the differences between reading for yourself and getting readings from others/giving readings to others. What happens when we embrace the fact that these two practices are, in fact, very different? And how can we use these differences to have better tarot experiences? I address questions and concerns about objectivity, fear, wish-fulfillment, and the temptation to put an overly positive spin on the cards. Hello Everyone,It’s such a delight to be announcing th...2020-10-2424 min
