Speaker
Hello friends! Welcome to this rather unusual episode of SoulPod. Today we are sharing with you one of our tarot readings that we offer over on our Patreon.
00:00:23
Speaker
um The long and short of it is we had a little bit of a difficult time with scheduling this past week and we weren't able to ah record a regular episode.
00:00:37
Speaker
So we thought we would share with you ah tarot reading that is being released on Patreon today, the same day as this episode is being released on ah public platforms.
00:00:55
Speaker
but also if you are in the mood for some more,
00:01:02
Speaker
regular old soul pod, um, you should definitely check out the Patreon because we do have bonus episodes, uh, two a month, every month.
00:01:14
Speaker
Uh, and one of them is also being released today. it's the one thing we did get recorded before scheduling became a little bit of a challenge. So, um Without further ado, we're just going to dive right in Welcome.
00:01:55
Speaker
Okay, friends.
00:01:59
Speaker
We are as usual, getting right into the thick of it. And we have got some fucking heavy hitters today. i have pulled five cards for a spread.
00:02:16
Speaker
We're using our golden thread tarot deck. Our tried and true Old Faithful. She's my favorite. And we got some heavy, heavy hitters.
00:02:33
Speaker
And I'm like, I've been sitting here for a minute trying to digest some of this because we got, for with for a spread of five cards, we have three major arcana.
00:02:46
Speaker
And I know that's not necessarily a record for the number of major arcana that have been pulled in our readings on this Patreon since we started, but it's still a lot.
00:03:01
Speaker
I think May is a very potent month for a lot of us. um Without further ado, the cards that we have are the Sun, the Four of Pentacles, the Empress, the Ace of Pentacles, and the Hierophant.
00:03:21
Speaker
And that is the order that I pulled them in. That is not necessarily the order that we're going to be looking at them in.
00:03:35
Speaker
The...
00:03:40
Speaker
The Sun and the Empress are calling to me. um They definitely have something to do with each other. um
00:03:52
Speaker
particularly the very potent very fertile energy of the empress and honestly the ace of pentacles can easily tie into that too but this very potent fertile energy of the empress and this like green light you know, all systems go, fireworks, energy of the sun.
00:04:21
Speaker
really feels like there's
00:04:24
Speaker
something that someone who's listening has been brewing for a while, has been has been churning, putting together, you know, holding on the back burner and really feeling somewhat uncertain maybe about how to begin or when to begin, um when to unleash, when to release this idea, this, I don't know.
00:04:58
Speaker
It feels like releasing the hounds. That's the, that's the phrase that comes to mind. It feels almost a little aggressive, but it's like in a, in a very positive way. hope that makes sense.
00:05:09
Speaker
Um, the The sun this beautiful, warm, rich energy.
00:05:21
Speaker
blends perfectly with the fertility of the empress where it's like, I almost look at it a little bit like a garden getting its sunlight, you know, in the process of photosynthesis.
00:05:35
Speaker
Like the sun is what makes the garden
00:05:41
Speaker
exist. You wouldn't have one if it didn't, if it didn't shine. And i think that maybe a lot of people who might be feeling like this resonates with them, ah feel like they might be feeling as though they don't have 100% confidence in the purity or the, um, the goodness, the rightness of their idea.
00:06:17
Speaker
But this feels very much like a reassurance, like, no, you, you're doing the right thing. You've chosen the right path. You've, you've got the right, um,
00:06:33
Speaker
plans in motion, you've got the right roots, the right foundations, and you should should move forward with it, really. and And the Ace of Pentacles has that same energy of, you know new opportunities, particularly in the practical, tangible world
00:07:02
Speaker
as well as like a promise of prosperity. And like, I can say, i mean, nothing is ever truly promised, but like, if you have the diligence and the drive and the passion,
00:07:23
Speaker
which I feel like the Empress is also a very passionate card. And like, she has, she's very earthy, but she has some fire. Like the Empress is like like a goddess creator and no creator operates without fire. And if you have this energy, this passionate fire within, within you,
00:07:49
Speaker
Like, there's no reason to be concerned that your venture might not succeed. um
00:08:01
Speaker
oh
00:08:04
Speaker
Gosh. um
00:08:08
Speaker
I'm trying to think of how the Hierophant ties in here because the Hierophant is always a little bit of a
00:08:24
Speaker
there's ah you know context is always key with the Hierophant but like he's all about conformity he's all about tradition and like morality and can like and like religious community
00:08:42
Speaker
like i feel like it's um on the more organized religion side of spirituality that the Hierophant um abides and
00:08:58
Speaker
i do feel like potentially he's showing up because you know you might you might have a little bit of like ah like ah some religious trauma or spiritual like disillusionment due to organized religion that you were brought up in
00:09:25
Speaker
But I feel like this this card is here sort of asking you not to
00:09:32
Speaker
not to write it off entirely. And as always, take what resonates and frankly just do with that what you will.
00:09:46
Speaker
Honestly, um you know, put it in your back pocket, save it for another time when you feel like you maybe have more bandwidth, perhaps, to deal with it.
00:09:58
Speaker
But it's a tough one because I myself have kind of no interest in staying ah affiliated with organized religion.
00:10:11
Speaker
um I've disaffiliated a long time ago. and
00:10:20
Speaker
and yet there there is good to be had when you find the right organization i think the right community the right congregation um they could be a support system and perhaps maybe that's what you need um in pursuing this and beginning this journey with the ace of pentacles perhaps this This card, the Hierophant, it can also signify like a mentorship, usually a spiritual mentorship, but it can show up when someone needs to seek out or reconnect with a person that they admire or rely on or look up to or
00:11:11
Speaker
want to be like in any way. um Or simply, you know, someone who can help their continued learning. oh
00:11:25
Speaker
That's definitely... i really don't know how because it I don't feel like it ties in specifically to any of the cards, but learning... Learning is really popping up.
00:11:40
Speaker
and it doesn't necessarily have to have come from the cards for it to be valid. um
00:11:49
Speaker
i think that through this process, this project, um it's important that you, ah but how do i want to phrase this?
00:12:08
Speaker
Like in a lot of professional fields, they have a thing called continued education, where even as you're working in a professional field, ah you take courses, get certifications, maintain certifications in order to show that you are keeping up with new developments in the field.
00:12:34
Speaker
um Even after you've completed your formal education, say in college or something like that. And no matter what field or category of life that this venture that you're pursuing ah falls under,
00:13:04
Speaker
It's, uh, I think it's, I think what's coming through is trying to keep reminding you that continued education, continued learning, continued growth is paramount.
00:13:23
Speaker
And growth is really what we're all about over here. Anyway, um And so i will I will stamp that with a seal of approval for me, frankly.
00:13:39
Speaker
oh But yeah, that's coming through with the Hierophant and mostly in in the context of mentorship, um wanting to learn from someone who is a little older, a little wiser, i think.
00:13:58
Speaker
And then we have the four of pentacles. And the four of pentacles
00:14:07
Speaker
is, it's not the worst card. I think it's a little, it's a little bit of a gray, a gray area. Because the four pentacles shows up when we don't feel like we have security, particularly financial security.
00:14:28
Speaker
When we feel like we have to hold on a little too tight to our wallet or to just generally our bank account that we have to penny pinch. and
00:14:48
Speaker
it's a reminder to come back to gratitude
00:14:56
Speaker
and come back to maybe even a a level of self-regulation. Because when we feel this tense, this uptight about our money or finances, we honestly can, make it can sort of transform into like an anxiety.
00:15:20
Speaker
and it's crucial to bring yourself back to center and remind yourself that you have what you need and that you, you know, don't need to hold on so tightly to every dollar that you earn.
00:15:39
Speaker
Um, that doesn't mean go out and blow it all, but there's a middle ground with everything, right? oh And as always, you guys know, I, um I do love to refer back to the affirmations that come with these cards on the Labyrinthos app and not sponsored, but I'm not opposed if they ever hear about this, but the Labyrinthos app, they have these beautiful affirmations with each card and the one for the four of pentacles is particularly relevant
00:16:20
Speaker
to this feeling where the affirmation says i have enough I am stable I am safe
00:16:31
Speaker
and I'm going put an emphasis on safe really and I'm going to tie it back into the empress because she is she is a goddess she is um ephemeral she is gorgeous and abundant and fertile and she is a mother she is mother energy embodied and a mother
00:17:04
Speaker
is a safe space a mother is a safe person or should be
00:17:16
Speaker
And I think when you're getting in those tight, tense times where the Four of Pentacles is showing up for you, or why the Four of Pentacles is showing up for you,
00:17:32
Speaker
i would encourage you to lean into the Empress energy. And even into the Sun energy. The Sun is almost a little bit of a an echo of the Empress, where it's here to say...
00:17:46
Speaker
The universe has you. We've got your back. You're good to go You're going to be fine.
00:17:56
Speaker
That's what the Empress wants to tell you. That's even what the Hierophant wants to tell you, really, because at their most positive, least toxic ah embodiments, these cards, Empress and Hierophant, Mother and Religion,
00:18:16
Speaker
are meant to be support pillars in your life and not
00:18:23
Speaker
energies that sap you or degrade your um well-being. And I think we get so caught up in how how much they fail us
00:18:44
Speaker
You know, as a collective, how much religion has failed us, how much our parents have failed us, especially if you're a millennial or Gen X or Gen z
00:18:57
Speaker
But it's important to remember, like, the true essence of these archetypes are supportive and not toxic.
00:19:12
Speaker
Yeah.
00:19:17
Speaker
Alright, that's going to be it for the tarot cards, but I do have our favorite postcards from the liminal space. I have shuffled deck.
00:19:31
Speaker
i'm gonna I'm going to go ahead and pull two cards. And we're going to learn. We're
00:19:40
Speaker
going to evolve. We're going to undergo something that... is transformative on levels we don't even understand yet. So everybody brace yourselves with me. Oh boy, here we go.
00:20:03
Speaker
Just some butterfingers over here. o Our first card from the postcards from the Lunal Space is Imagining More.
00:20:17
Speaker
It is a beautiful card. They're all beautiful. Of a woman in a field. A field of wildflowers. With the sun off in the distance.
00:20:31
Speaker
Imagining more. We're going to pull one more. Hmm.
00:20:47
Speaker
Here we go
00:20:51
Speaker
Try the opposite. Interesting. Okay.
00:20:58
Speaker
We got some different ones. I swear, I have a tendency to... Whenever I pull these cards for myself or even for someone else, I end up with sometimes the same cards that I've pulled 100
00:21:15
Speaker
I don't know that I've pulled either of these cards before out of this deck, and I've had this deck for coming up on six years. So let's see but they're going to tell us. We're goingnna start with imagining more.
00:21:34
Speaker
Reading from the guidebook here. All right. It says...
00:21:42
Speaker
The brain it does not register the difference between a lived experience and and an imagined one. It is generally agreed upon that the first act in manifestation is to expect the thing you're calling in.
00:22:00
Speaker
Close your eyes and imagine it into reality.
00:22:09
Speaker
That's a good one to go with the sun. And the Ace of Pentacles. And the Empress. God, talk about a master manifester. i mean, the magician is, but like the Empress, she is too.
00:22:26
Speaker
Alright. And we're going to try the opposite as well. Here we go.
00:22:35
Speaker
Your current method isn't working. Do something else. Shake things up a little. All roads eventually lead to the same place.
00:22:47
Speaker
Hmm.
00:22:51
Speaker
Another good card for manifestation. oh guys.
00:23:00
Speaker
I'm going to post the picture. going to take a picture of these. going to post it up on my Instagram. and It's going to actually be on the SoulPod Instagram today as well.
00:23:12
Speaker
so you guys can check it out. But like, ooh, baby. oh I can feel that energy in my body right now. It's good.
00:23:25
Speaker
It's good, it's right.
00:23:30
Speaker
I love it.
00:23:38
Speaker
I'm so grateful. that you're here, that you're listening, that you're supporting me, supporting us.
00:23:50
Speaker
This has been a really interesting journey and it feels good to be diving in full force with it.
00:24:01
Speaker
I'm really grateful that you're here. I'm really grateful I get to do this. I don't know.
00:24:13
Speaker
i think that's all that I need to say. That's all I want to say. Thank you. i hope this was helpful.
00:24:22
Speaker
And i honestly hope to hear from you. If you have questions, if you'd like a reading, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
00:24:36
Speaker
I hope you have a beautiful, blessed day. And we'll see you again next week.
