Knight of Wands

Knight of Wands Welcome to season 6 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode. What we explore in this episode: How the Knight of Wands symbolizes adventure, passion, and spontaneous movement The double-fire energy of this court card and its connection to Sagittarius Why breaking routines can be both liberating and destabilizing The shadow side of impulsiveness and the desire to never feel stuck again How to bring the spark of adventure back into your everyday life The importance of integrating what we learn from travel, risk-taking, or creative leaps Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: Therapists Who Tarot Deck, Prompts by Dreya Blume and Images by Rebecca Bloom Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair The Knight of Wands is bold, passionate, and full of fire. This is the traveler of the tarot, ready to break free from monotony and leap into the unknown. Ruled by mutable fire and associated with Sagittarius, this card often shows up when we are craving motion, novelty, or creative breakthroughs. It celebrates courage, but also invites us to check our impulses—are we moving forward with purpose, or just trying to outrun discomfort? If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out! In the first season, I introduced tarot by talking about oracle vs tarot cards, myths of tarot, how to find a deck, reading for yourself vs others, and much more. In seasons 2 and 3, I went through the major arcana and the four suits, one per episode. In season 4, I talked all about Tarot in Pop Culture and examined representations of Tarot in videogames, TV shows, movies, and more. In season 5, I went through 13 Common Tarot Spreads, what they are, how many cards, and an example of what it looks like to work through one. Today's Tarot Pull: Today’s pull was the Page of Swords, reversed, from The Sasuraibito Tarot by Stasia Burrington. This card reminds us to balance excitement with thoughtfulness. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of new ideas and changes, but we also need to stay grounded in our communication and mindful of how our choices ripple outward. Be bold, yes—but also be clear! Reflective prompts on this card: What sparks your curiosity right now? Where are you craving more movement, freedom, or change? Are you running toward adventure or away from discomfort? What have your recent travels or risks taught you about yourself?

Page of Wands

Page of Wands Welcome to season 6 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode. What we explore in this episode: Symbols of flame, passion, and creative curiosity What it means to embrace beginner energy with courage and wonder The Page of Wands as a messenger of inspiration and youthful enthusiasm How sensuality, pleasure, and imagination shape this card across decks The difference between comparison and aspiration when you are still learning Why your “what if” dreams matter more than you think Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair The Page of Wands is your inner spark asking for your attention. It is the part of you that gets lit up when you talk about something you love, when you see someone doing what you long to do, or when you daydream about a path that feels just out of reach. This card is about possibility. It invites you to let yourself be led by curiosity and enthusiasm rather than hesitation or self-doubt. We explore themes of desire, creativity, first awakenings, and reclaiming childlike joy. The Page of Wands reminds us that the path does not have to be clear before we take the first step. All we need is a willingness to start. If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out! In the first season, I introduced tarot by talking about oracle vs tarot cards, myths of tarot, how to find a deck, reading for yourself vs others, and much more. In seasons 2 and 3, I went through the major arcana and the four suits, one per episode. In season 4, I talked all about Tarot in Pop Culture and examined representations of Tarot in videogames, TV shows, movies, and more. In season 5, I went through 13 Common Tarot Spreads, what they are, how many cards, and an example of what it looks like to work through one. Today's Tarot Pull: From the Desert Illuminations Tarot, I pulled the Five of Jugs Upright. This card represents emotional setbacks or moments when something did not turn out the way you hoped. You might be focused on what's been spilled—the broken jugs, the mess, the feelings that are hard to hold. It invites you to honor your feelings of grief and disappointment while gently reminding you that something is still salvageable. Usually, two upright jugs remain in the background, a symbol that not everything is lost even if your attention is stuck on what hurts. Reflective prompts on this card: What are you afraid to want? What would you do if you believed you could not fail? How can you tend the spark of creativity even in seasons of doubt?

Ten of Wands

Welcome to season 6 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode. What we explore in this episode: What it means to carry too much and how to know when your strength has become a survival mechanism Why burnout is not a badge of honor The difference between service and codependency What the Ten of Wands teaches us about boundaries, delegation, and emotional overextension How to move from doing it all to choosing with intention Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: Ophidia Rosa Tarot deck by Leila & Olive Therapists Who Tarot Deck, Prompts by Dreya Blume and Images by Rebecca Bloom The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair In this episode, we talk about the heavy load that is the Ten of Wands. It is a card about taking on too much, sometimes because you have to, and sometimes because you have been conditioned to think you should. Whether it shows up as work, caregiving, emotional labor, or too many commitments, this card asks you to consider what you are holding that is no longer yours to carry. We explore imagery across several decks, from spider webs and atomic explosions to burning figures and fallen roses. These symbols help us understand the physical, emotional, and energetic toll of overcommitment. This card also offers a powerful invitation to release perfectionism, self-sacrifice, and the belief that you have to do everything alone. It encourages us to begin the necessary work of letting go. If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out! In the first season, I introduced tarot by talking about oracle vs tarot cards, myths of tarot, how to find a deck, reading for yourself vs others, and much more. In seasons 2 and 3, I went through the major arcana and the four suits, one per episode. In season 4, I talked all about Tarot in Pop Culture and examined representations of Tarot in videogames, TV shows, movies, and more. In season 5, I went through 13 Common Tarot Spreads. Today's Tarot Pull: From the Desert Illuminations Tarot, I pulled the Five of Jugs reversed. This suit corresponds to water in the deck. The card speaks to lost opportunities and emotional overwhelm. Reversed, it invites reflection on what did not go as planned and how to forgive ourselves for what we could not predict or control. It mirrors the theme of this episode perfectly. We might be doing too much out of guilt, fear, or the need to prove our worth. Letting go of what no longer serves us is the first step toward reclaiming our energy. Reflective prompts on this card: What are you carrying that has become too heavy? What would you say no to if you were not afraid of disappointing others? How can you sta

Nine of Wands

Nine of Wands Welcome to season 6 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode. What we explore in this episode: Symbolism across decks: broken bones being set, loosely constructed barriers, plucked roots, and defensive postures How the Nine of Wands represents perseverance, guardedness, and the tension of being “almost there” What it means to hold a boundary while still healing The inner critic is your final opponent on the road to reclaiming self-worth How resentment builds when we say “yes” while our body screams “no” and how to stop doing that The sacred role of conflict in maintaining intimacy and connection Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington Ophidia Rosa Tarot deck by Leila & Olive The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair This card is a classic “wounded warrior” archetype. It shows up when we’ve been through a lot and are still standing. Whether you’re holding your last line of defense or learning to trust again after a hard season, this card asks: How are you showing up for yourself in the face of fatigue, fear, and doubt? We talk about the visual metaphors across several decks, including plants being uprooted, bones healing slowly, and watching out for when passion turns into paranoia. We also explore how defensive posturing can get in the way of clarity, and why building clear boundaries, especially when you’re tired, is the most loving thing you can do for yourself and others.

Today's Tarot Pull: From the Therapists Who Tarot Deck, I pulled The Wheel of Fortune. This card is a reminder that life moves in cycles. You don’t control what comes up on the wheel, but you do get to choose how you respond to it. Reflection prompts: How can you anchor in your truth even when circumstances are shifting around you? What lessons have your past “downs” taught you, and how will you use them in the next “up”? What boundaries help you ride the wheel with grace?

Eight of Wands

Eight of Wands Welcome to season 6 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode. What we explore in this episode: Common symbolism of movement, momentum, arrows, and butterfly wings The Eight of Wands as a card of swiftness, communication, and rapid transformation How this card invites us to explore control, surrender, and timing The push-pull of doing vs allowing How much can you influence What’s beyond your reach Navigating fast changes while staying connected to your values and intuition Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: Ophidia Rosa Tarot deck by Leila & Olive The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden The Eight of Wands is a card of movement, communication, and change, often happening quickly. This episode dives into how that fast-paced energy can feel liberating, overwhelming, or even out of our control. From butterflies and blooming roses to speeding roadrunners and flying wands, the imagery reminds us of the kinetic chaos and creative potential that comes with taking action and riding the wave of momentum. But what happens when things move so quickly we forget to pause and ask: do I even want what I’m rushing toward? This card invites us to consider how we act when things are in motion, and what it means to let go of control when so much is still uncertain. If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out! In the first season, I introduced tarot by talking about oracle vs tarot cards, myths of tarot, how to find a deck, reading for yourself vs others, and much more.

Today's Tarot Pull From the Therapists Who Tarot Deck, prompts by Dreya Blume and images by Rebecca Bloom, I pulled The Sun, a card of good fortune. Reflective prompts on this card: What makes you feel joy? What are you beginning to doubt, and is that doubt rooted in truth or fear? What would it feel like to move toward joy instead of just what’s logical? This card asks us to stay present and stay bright, even when things feel fast or unclear. The sun reminds us that we can root into optimism and clarity, even when life speeds up around us.

Today's Tarot Pull: The Nine of Wands from Therapists Who Tarot Deck, Prompts by Dreya Blume and Images by Rebecca Bloom. I pulled a card that challenges us to think about what we’re willing to fight for, and how we can stay grounded in ourselves when we feel under pressure. Reflection questions included: What is exciting your life right now? What is getting in the way of your progress? What do you still need to learn? In this episode, we will learn about the powerful themes behind the Seven of Wands: defiance, protection, and standing your ground. This card shows up when it’s time to hold firm after success, to protect your boundaries, your values, and your energy from those who might challenge or undermine them. I shared interpretations from several decks, talked about how this card relates to anger and boundaries, and reflected on how I protect my own energy both spiritually and practically. I also shared a visualization I use for energetic shielding, along with some thoughts on how protest and activism intersect with our internal fire. This episode is for anyone who’s navigating conflict, asserting their identity, or needing a reminder that it’s okay to defend what matters to you. What we explore in this episode: The symbolism of defense, attack, and righteous anger Boundaries, energetic protection, and the importance of discernment Mars in Leo, leadership, and the courage to stay aligned with your values How to engage with anger constructively rather than performatively Using tarot for reflection on sovereignty, fear, and community care Ways to Connect & Support Patreon: For monthly hangouts, tarot Q&As, individual readings, and behind-the-scenes peeks, join the <a href="https://patreon.com/EveryDayTarot?utm_medium=unk

This card celebrates triumph, confidence, and the joy of being seen. Let's explore the symbolism of public recognition, the complexity behind our ideas of success, and what it means to own your gifts without apology. We'll also reflect on how the Six of Wands sits between the conflict of the Five and the pressure of the Seven. Are you chasing a feeling of victory without checking in on your values? Or are you finally being celebrated for who you truly are? The Six of Wands is a reminder to celebrate your wins, own your story, and honor how far you’ve come… a gentle but powerful invitation to let yourself be witnessed in your brilliance, and to consider what success means on your own terms! What we explore in this episode: Symbolism across decks: flames, flowers, radiant light, ruby red jewels, and ornamental adornment The journey from chaos in the Five of Wands to triumph in the Six Jupiter in Leo and what it means to be seen as a leader or center of attention Why celebrating yourself might feel uncomfortable or triggering for those taught to downplay their gifts The subtle shadow of this card when success leads to overwork or chasing external validation Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: ⁠The Desert Illuminations Tarot by Lindsay D.

Today's Tarot Pull: From the ⁠Therapists Who Tarot Deck⁠, Prompts by ⁠Dreya Blume⁠ and Images by ⁠Rebecca Bloom⁠, I pulled the King of Cups, which in this deck is labeled “Balance.” The reflective prompts on this card are: What three things do you wish were true? What gives your life meaning? How do you connect to something bigger than yourself? This card asks us to pair our confidence with groundedness. To lead from our values. To shine brightly because we are anchored in what matters most. Ways to Connect & Support Patreon: F

Five of Wands

Welcome to season 6 of this podcast, where I am talking all about the Suit of Wands. I’ll be going through each card in the suit, one per episode. In this episode, we're exploring the Five of Wands, a card that speaks to creative tension, internal restlessness, and the kind of challenge that invites transformation. The Five of Wands often appears when you are on the verge of something meaningful, but things feel messy. Maybe you are encountering resistance. Maybe there’s competition, miscommunication, or internal friction. This card reminds us that growth rarely happens in a vacuum. There is heat. There is fire. And sometimes, there is chaos. This is the kind of challenge that helps clarify your voice and your values. It is a reminder that challenge does not mean failure, but movement. Let the friction refine your fire and teach you how to hold your own in the heat. What we explore in this episode: Common imagery in this card: crossed wands, scattered energy, thorny stems, and symbolic fire The Five of Wands as a mirror for conflict, competition, and the push for creative breakthrough The psychological perspective on what this card can tell us about navigating power struggles and interpersonal tension Astrological connections and how this card can relate to ambition and drive Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: Anima Mundi Tarot Deck by Megan Wyreweden The Goddess of Love Tarot Deck: A Book and Deck for Embodying The Erotic Divine Feminine by Gabriela Herstik and illustrated by Julia Popescu, who also goes by snakes4hair The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!

It’s about pausing to celebrate, recognizing stability, and creating sacred moments of connection. The Four of Wands invites us into a moment of rest and recognition.

Three of Wands

In today’s episode, we are exploring the Three of Wands, a card that speaks to vision, creative readiness, and the sacred pause before movement. This is the moment after the spark has been lit but before the journey unfolds. It asks us to check in with our dreams and our direction, and to trust in the energy we’ve already set in motion. Whether you're in the early stages of building something meaningful or feeling stuck in a liminal in-between, the Three of Wands invites you to reflect, refine, and ready yourself for what's next. What we explore in this episode: How the Three of Wands shows up visually in multiple decks Symbolism of fire, light, flowers, and shadows in connection to creativity Astrological ties to the Sun in Aries and the second decan Reflections on ambition, discomfort, and leaving behind what is known Pictures from the decks I talked about today referenced from left to right: The Sasuraibito Tarot deck by Stasia Burrington Therapists Who Tarot Deck, Prompts by Dreya Blume and Images by Rebecca Bloom Ophidia Rosa Tarot deck by Leila & Olive If you haven't listened to my other seasons yet, go check them out!

The card reminds us: We don’t have to do it all alone. Sometimes a new path calls for a guide, a mentor, or even just a supportive presence to help shape the direction of that energy.
