31. MONTHLY MEDICINE: April is The Mirror

This episode is a Monthly Medicine episode, an intuitively channeled forecast for the month of April.
The “letting go” in April is massive, and is connected to the great medicine of Mercury Rx — April, and the sign of Aries (The Emperor), represent great expansion, birth, and new growth. What needs to die in order for us to bloom forward? There is some very significant weeding going on in our gardens in the early part of April. We might get no’s when we were hoping to hear yes. We might have to keep waiting. If that’s the case, it is the beginning of a great shift. Life is lifting us out of situations, commitments and paradigms that are not in alignment for us, that our ego might want, but our soul doesn’t. This is a powerful reset. Looking in The Mirror will help us to see new opportunities, to seize our freedom, to get clear on what we want and what we don’t want, and to see who we are becoming, what we are growing into. We get to ask ourselves whether we need to polish our mirror, or whether we keep wishing our mirror reflected something different to us — no matter what, it is a month ripe with opportunities to see, to focus, and to look deeply into ourselves and our lives, all so we can get clear on where we are being guided with deep medicine from the King of Swords, the Devil, the Empress RX, and the Five of Cups.
In this episode, Lindsay shares and dives deep into:
• Transition from March to April, from Pisces to Aries and how this month’s channeled mantra came through (3:03)
• The theme for April is THE MIRROR. How to “look in the mirror” this month, honoring the reflections that are being presented to us during this cycle for our growth, awareness and knowledge. (5:43)
• The medicine and gifts of the Mercury Retrograde in Aries (13:08)
• April might be a month of active rejections that are actually gifts—letting go and allowing examination in the mirror (15:39)
• A Wild Soul Tarot collective reading for the month ahead—the medicine of the month: King of Swords (32:34)
• The medicine of the Full Moon in Libra on March 31st, the New Moon in Aries on April 15th, and the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 29th (33:21)
• The medicine of the month: King of Swords (39:40)
• What we’re moving through in April: The Devil (41:54)
• What we are leaving behind in March: The Empress reversed (47:55)
• Gentle message from Divine: Five of Cups (49:31)
• The significance of moving from Aries (THE EMPEROR) to Taurus (THE HIEROPHANT) in the month of April (54:10)

27. MONTHLY MEDICINE: March is Trust and Allow

This episode is a Monthly Medicine episode, an intuitively channeled forecast for the month of March. The theme for this month is TRUST AND ALLOW.
March is a month of deep changes, of birth and death, of going from seed to tree. In this month, we experience two Full Moons, one New Moon, a Mercury Rx in Aries, and the Equinox, our first Solstice of the year. We move from Pisces to Aries in March, essentially starting our new year through a deep, nature centered lens. We are moving through a contraction/expansion process, and a massive detoxification process, shedding old forms of ego, identity and people pleasing. We are becoming more of ourselves, continuing to do so in relative mystery. We are learning to Trust and Allow through listening to ourselves, examining our relationship to our intuition, to our body’s communication, and to our growth and willingness to evolve through what we are handed. We are letting go in a big way, opening ourselves to greater opportunities, and lovely surprises.
In this episode, Lindsay shares and dives deep into:
• The theme of the month: Trust and Allow. How we can begin to Trust ourselves, our intuition, our decisions, and our bodies more than we ever thought possible, and how we can begin to Allow more fully, letting go of control and the need to know where we are going (0:59)
• Astrology of the month: Full Moon in Virgo (20:36)
• The significance of moving from Pisces (THE MOON) to Aries (THE EMPEROR) in the month of March (24:37)
THE MEDICINE OF THE MONTH: The Moon (26:29)
WHAT WE ARE LEAVING IN FEBRUARY: Four of Cups (32:56)
WHAT WE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH IN MARCH: Ace of Wands (38:25)
GENTLE MESSAGE FROM DIVINE: Queen of Cups, Rx
• Astrology of the month: The New Moon in Pisces, Mercury Retrograde in Aries, and the Spring Equinox (43:04)
• Aries and The Emperor of the Tarot as an ungendered sacred masculine + an invitation to take up space and be seen (47:39)

ABOUT LINDSAY
Lindsay Mack is a queer intuitive Tarot teacher, and the host of TFTWS podcast.
Lindsay is the creator of Soul Tarot, a reinterpretation and intentional utilization of the Tarot as a non-predictive healing tool, one that is can assist us in differentiating the noise of our mind from the truth of our soul. Through her regularly sold out workshops, retreats and online Tarot courses, Lindsay has had the profound honor of teaching Soul Tarot to thousands of people from all around the world.
As a joyful and healthy survivor of childhood abuse, trauma & PTSD, Lindsay is passionately dedicated to honoring and helping to bring space, light and healing to those who are experiencing mental, emotional or physical suffering. It was the healing from a breakdown in 2014 that fully birthed her into this sacred work and onto her soul path. It is an organic part of her healing work with the Tarot, and she is honored to be sharing these offerings to those who feel called to them.
Honoring and acknowledging that this podcast is recorded on the unceded land of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, currently called Portland, OR, with the deepest respect to the Kalapuya Tribe, Cowlitz Tribe, and Atfalati Tribe.
