    S4 EP 2 - TAROT CARD OF THE YEAR & NUMEROLOGY FOR 2026

    Hello friends!Today we are sharing our tarot cards of the year and numerology for 2026.Here is the tarot card for this episode:Card: Nine of Pentacles.Meaning: A reminder to enjoy the fruits of hard work and take a well-deserved break.Relevance: Directly aligns with Sheena's need for rest after a difficult year and Crystal's focus on intentional time.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Collective Year of 1 (The Magician): A new 9-year cycle begins, focused on willpower, new foundations, and the "me vs. we" dynamic. This is a year for intentional creation, but it requires authentic community to avoid the shadow themes of lone-wolf behavior and deception.Personal Cycles: Crystal is in a fast-paced Personal Year 3 (creativity, communication) with The Hanged Man tarot card (surrender, new perspective). Sheena is in a slower Personal Year 9 (completion) with The Star tarot card (hope, integration) after a challenging "Tower year."Community is Essential: The year’s challenges require real-world community—not social media—for support. The Magician's shadow of "skills without ethics" will expose deception, making authentic connection and integrity critical.Crystal's Year:Numerology (Personal Year 3): A fast-paced year for creativity, communication, and social connection.Tarot (The Hanged Man): A year for surrender, stillness, and gaining new perspectives.Combined Insight: The year's energy supports intentional creativity and reflection, prioritizing "stillness over productivity" to avoid the shadow of indecision.Sheena's Year:Numerology (Personal Year 9): A slower year of completion, creating tension with the collective Year 1's acceleration.Tarot (The Star): A card of hope and integration, following a challenging "Tower year."Combined Insight: The year is a "quench" period for healing and remembering one's true self, marked by themes of trust, flow, and compassion.Calculate your tarot card of the year here (make sure the year is 2026!)Youtube: Portal to the Dead?

    S4 EP 1 - ASTROLOGICAL TRANSITS FOR 2026 FT. ROCHELLE CHRISTIANE

    Hello friends,Season FOUR is here!!! Today we are chatting about the astrological predictions for 2026, key transits, and their implications with Rochelle Christiane. We explore themes of authenticity, emotional intelligence, and the importance of grounding practices as Uranus moves into Gemini, challenging perspectives and communication styles. Saturn's move into Aries was highlighted as a period of discipline and structure, while Neptune's influence in Aries encourages spiritual growth but may also lead to delusion. There's an emphasis on clear values and intentional action, particularly during significant transits like the Mercury-Saturn-Mars conjunction in Aries and the Venus- Uranus conjunction in Taurus. Community and the shift towards more collaborative and sustainable leadership structures in the Age of Aquarius.Rochelle's Podcast: The Rochelle Christiane PodcastReality distortion - Chris Brennan host of the Astrology podcast----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to be part of the conversation, write to us at weirdlifestylepod@gmail.comPlease rate, review, and share the podcast with your friends to spread the word! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can follow us on Instagram!

    S3 EP 22: 2025 ~ THE YEAR OF THE "GROSS SANDWICH!" 🤮

    How was your 2025?In today's episode, we are going back in time to New Years Eve 2024 where we predict how our 2025 will be. For both of us, life took us in so many directions we didn't see coming. However, as hard or joyous as 2025 was, we are happy to end up where we landed.To sum up today's episode:- 2025 was a year of unexpected hardship and change, contrasting sharply with the fun and independence of 2024.- Numerology and tarot accurately predicted the year's themes: Crystal's "Justice" year brought balance and resolution, while Sheena's "Tower" year forced surrender and release.- The core lesson was holding opposites simultaneously—joy and grief, hope and despair—and accepting that "two things can be true at the same time."- For 2026, the focus is on authenticity and release: Crystal will let go of control, and Sheena will stop carrying the weight of others' judgments.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you want to be part of the conversation, write to us at weirdlifestylepod@gmail.comPlease rate, review, and share the podcast with your friends to spread the word! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can follow us on Instagram!

    S3 EP 21 - Subconscious, the Projection Field, and Dreams

    Hi friends!We can't wait to get deep into the weeds of the subconscious, the projection field, dreams, and how these all connect to one another.Subconscious as the "Deep Pond": The subconscious mind holds all conditioned beliefs and memories, operating below conscious awareness and influencing perception and behavior.Projection Field as a "Bubble": In Human Design, the projection field (for Projectors, 2nd/5th profiles) acts as a reflective bubble. It mirrors others' unhealed parts back to them, serving as a natural filter for misaligned people.Dreams as Subconscious Language: Dreams are the subconscious's symbolic language for processing emotions and rehearsing outcomes, especially when the conscious mind is overwhelmed.Discernment is Key: The work involves recognizing subconscious patterns and discerning external feedback. True guidance fits your values ("square peg"), while projection does not ("flower shape").Connecting the ConceptsThe projection field mirrors subconscious content back to you.External Feedback:Projection: Doesn't fit your values or experience ("flower shape").Guidance: Resonates and feels true ("square peg").Discernment Process:Repetition: Recognize recurring patterns.Recognition: Identify the subconscious root.Discernment: Filter external feedback.Core Values: A strong foundation in personal values is essential for navigating projections and staying aligned. _________________________________________________________________If you want to be part of the conversation, write to us at weirdlifestylepod@gmail.comPlease rate, review, and share the podcast with your friends to spread the word! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️You can follow us on Instagram!
