September Month Ahead Tarot Spread: What the Cards Say About Love, Money, Health, Work, and Spirit
As we step into September, I'm pulling back the curtain on what the month might hold with a Month Ahead spread covering love, money, health, work, and spirit — anchored by a significator card that sets the tone for everything else.
This month, The Hermit leads the way, signaling a season that calls for introspection over action. From there, the cards get specific: The 10 of Wands Reversed shows up in love, 7 of Wands in money, 5 of Swords in health, 8 of Cups in work, and The Sun lighting up the spirit position.
Tune in as I break down what each card means for its category and how they weave together into one cohesive picture for the month ahead.
Tarot for Practical Magic: A 5-Card Spread for Self-Romance, Blockages, and the Future
Three hundred episodes deep, and I'm still finding new magic in the cards. For this milestone, I couldn't resist channeling Practical Magic — that 1998 cult classic about love, family, and the kind of witchcraft that lives in the everyday — into a five-card spread built just for the occasion.
Using five different oracle decks (one card, one deck, one question each), I asked: How do I romance myself? What's holding me back? How do I mix things up in my life? Who's here to support me? And how can I be more open to my future? It's part tarot, part love letter to a movie that's shaped how I think about magic in ordinary life.
Tune in for the full spread, deck-by-deck breakdown, and my closing reflections on what it all revealed.
Tarot and Sex: What the Goddess of Love Tarot Deck Reveals About Sovereignty, Desire, and Sacred Energy
This post about the recent Every Day Tarot episode explains how tarot and sex connect through sovereignty, devotion, and self-directed erotic energy, with practical takeaways for your own practice.
Tarot for Virgo Season: What the Hermit, the Magician, and the Nine of Pentacles are Telling You
Virgo season invites us to slow down, get organized, and pay attention to the details we often overlook. In this episode of Every Day Tarot, we dive into what the cards reveal about this grounded, discerning energy — from the habits worth refining to the areas of life asking for a little more care and clarity. Whether you're a longtime tarot lover or just starting to explore the cards, this episode offers practical guidance and reflection to help you move through Virgo season with intention, so you can show up more centered, focused, and aligned with what truly matters.
All Things Reversed: Making Sense of the Upside-Down Tarot Card
Reversals are only confusing if I treat them like a rule instead of a reading tool. In this episode, I break down how I actually work with reversed tarot cards, when I read them, when I skip them, and why the answer changes depending on the deck.
I start with my own philosophy, then move through a few very different approaches so you can see the range of possibilities. I look at Biddy Tarot’s methods, the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith approach from Sacred Tarot Unveiled, and the more layered framework from The Upside Down Tarot by Joan Bunning. Along the way, I explain how I think about visual symbolism, internal vs. external meaning, “too much” vs. “too little” energy, and the idea of a card being blocked, emerging, or fading out.
I walk through real examples from the Snag Tarot deck, including the Two of Swords, Strength reversed, the Four of Pentacles, and the Seven of Cups reversed. That means you get more than theory - I show how these ideas actually play out in a reading, and how intuition changes the final interpretation.
If you’ve ever wondered whether reversals are necessary, how to interpret them without overcomplicating things, or how to trust your own method more, this episode gives you a practical way in. It’s especially useful if you’re learning tarot, refining your reading style, or trying to understand why one reversed card can mean so many different things. And at the end, I pull a collective card for the week and tie it back to the bigger message: clarity comes when I stop forcing one answer and stay open to what the cards are really showing me.

In the world of tarot, the journey is as significant as the destination. As we delve into the mystique of tarot cards, many find themselves asking: How do these cards influence our lives?

Zeus
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Zeus—the lightning-bearing patriarch of Greek mythology.
What we explore in this episode:
The myth of Zeus
Zeus as a queer deity
Tarot cards archetypes that resonate with Zeus: The Fool, The Emperor, Justice, Wheel of Fortune
Zeus as a Queer Deity
While often remembered for his authority and countless heterosexual liaisons, Zeus’s mythology also contains deeply queer undertones. Most notably his relationship with Ganymede, a mortal youth taken to Olympus as cupbearer to the gods, reveals ancient cultural dynamics of mentorship, eroticism, and power imbalance. Modern readers might view Zeus as bisexual or pansexual.
Artemis
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Artemis—the Greek goddess of the hunt, the moon, and the wild.
What we explore in this episode:
The myth of Artemis
Artemis as a queer deity
Tarot cards archetypes that resonate with Artemis: The Moon, The High Priestess, The Hanged Man, Strength, Suit of Swords
Artemis as a Queer Deity
In many readings, “virgin” meant sovereign—unmarried, self-ruled—not sexless. Artemis rejects compulsory coupling and chooses devotion to women, the wild, and her nymph cohort. Modern lenses find her across spectra: lesbian/bi, ace/aro, gender-nonconforming warrior-scholar of the forest. Her queerness is autonomy in action: centering chosen kin, consent, wilderness ethics, and a life beyond domestic scripts.
Loki
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Loki—the shapeshifting trickster god of Norse mythology.
What we explore in this episode:
The myth of Loki
Loki as a queer deity
Tarot cards that resonate with Loki: The Tower, The Fool, The Magician
The Myth of Loki
Loki is a master of change and contradiction—sometimes a helper to the gods, other times their greatest disruptor. Loki births both chaos and creation, giving life to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir after transforming into a mare. Their children include Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr—each symbolizing endings, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of destruction and renewal.
Loki as a Queer Deity
Loki is a gender-fluid god who embodies both masculine and feminine energies and experiences both roles fully. Loki embodies queerness through shapeshifting and gender fluidity, defying every binary—god and monster, mother and father, destroyer and creator. Through Loki, we see that rebellion, chaos, and humor can all be forms of divine creativity.
Pan
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Pan—the wildwood god of music, desire, and fertility.
What we explore in this episode:
The myth of Pan
Pan as a queer deity
Tarot cards archetypes that resonate with Pan: The Devil, The Fool
The Myth of Pan
Half-man, half-goat, Pan is one of the oldest Greek deities, tied to wilderness, music, fertility, and the kind of untamed joy that refuses to be boxed in. Pan was linked to Dionysus, the god of ecstatic celebration, and often roamed with satyrs and nymphs. Later, Christianity demonized Pan’s image—his horns and hooves reinterpreted as symbols of the Devil.
Athena
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Athena—patron of Athens, goddess of wisdom, warfare, art, and reason.
In this episode, we'll explore her myth, queerness, and resonances with tarot archetypes of clarity, leadership, and disciplined creativity.

Athena as a queer deity
Tarot cards resonant with Athenian themes: Emperor, Queen of Swords, Hierophant
Dionysus
Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today we turn to Dionysus—ecstatic liberator, boundary-crosser, and patron of queer joy, embodied freedom, and sacred revelry.
In this episode, we'll explore his myth, queerness, and resonances with tarot archetypes of transformation, celebration, and creative revolt.
What we explore in this episode:
The myth of Dionysus
Dionysus as a queer deity
Tarot cards resonant with Dionysian themes: The Fool, Temperance, The Tower, The Sun, Three of Cups, Four of Wands
Tarot and Amber

Amber is tied to protection, healing, courage, attraction, and abundance. Long carried as a sacred talisman, it uplifts the spirit, fortifies the aura, and connects us with ancestral memory.
