    182: Virgo Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    This episode centers on the profound transition from Leo's fiery, drama-filled energy into Virgo's grounding, preparatory season, and the emotional terrain that comes with crossing that threshold. After a Cancer season that felt emotionally relentless and a Leo season that surfaced unexpected drama, the conversation explores how we're collectively being asked to sit with grief without dissolving into it. The tarot cards drawn throughout all speak to the same truth: that committing to a new path means letting go of things that may have been perfectly fine, even deeply loved, but no longer feed your growth. The grief that arises isn't a sign you're making the wrong choice; it's proof you cared.  Woven through this is the theme of trusting the unknown and recognizing that the Pisces lunar eclipse, Uranus squaring the sun and Mercury, and the broader astrological configurations are all conspiring to blow up your best-laid plans and replace them with something you couldn't have imagined. The invitation is to stop waiting for everything to be perfect before taking the first step, to plant the seed without knowing if it will grow, and to have faith that small, incremental actions accumulate into life-changing momentum. On the other side of the unknown is stepping into your power unapologetically while navigating the tension between self-advocacy and community. The Seven of Wands, the Ten of Pentacles, and the Devil card all point to the friction that arises when you choose a path others can't see yet. It is uncomfortable when you have to defend decisions against both external pushback and your own self-sabotaging patterns. The hosts explore deep questions about worthiness and enoughness: Who decides what you need? Have you outsourced your sense of value to something outside yourself? With Venus entering Scorpio for an unusually long stay and Uranus going retrograde in Gemini, the episode frames this fall as a period of deep emotional excavation, unconventional breakthroughs, and a reckoning with what truly sustains you.    The tarot card at the season's edge offers a final, gentle reminder that the sacred pause between who you were and who you're becoming is not indecision but receptivity, a moment to let the universe catch up to you before you take the next audacious leap!   Book your Crossing The Veil PDF Reading to be delivered on October 31st: https://andreamccallumservices.as.me/crossing-the-veil Show Notes   00:00 Welcome Back Duo 00:13 Leo Season Debrief 02:01 Drama And Fire 04:55 Barbault Basket Shifts 07:05 Small Steps Big Change 11:20 Mars In Cancer Warning 12:37 Virgo Season Explained 17:11 Virgo Vibes And Nodes 20:40 Tarot Five Of Cups 26:29 Virgo Transits Preview 31:06 Eclipse Cards Pulled 35:51 Pisces Eclipse Guidance 41:01 Boundaries Seven Wands 44:47 Jupiter Trine Saturn 45:37 No Shortcuts Allowed 47:03 Mars Saturn Gut Check 48:46 Curiosity Over Control 50:46 Devil Card Patterns 55:43 Venus Scorpio Shift 01:02:26 Ten Of Pentacles Rewards 01:08:25 Midmonth Power Moves 01:13:50 Hanged Man Pause 01:18:41 Equinox Boundaries Reset 01:24:10 Updates And Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

    181: Leo Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    Leo Season 2026: Barbault’s Basket, Nodal Shift & Eclipse Messages (Tarot + Astrology) This episode finds Emily and Andrea checking in during a season that's felt heavy for a lot of people. Wildfires, global unrest, and an unusually introspective Mercury retrograde in Cancer, have had everyone doing more integrating than mingling. Rather than the typical summer of parties, beach days, and socializing, the hosts share that they have been experiencing some significant perspective shifts on how to move forward with their work. As the fifth anniversary of her podcast approaches, Emily has decided that it will be renamed The Emily and Her Stars Podcast to simplify branding, while continuing monthly joint tarot-and-astrology episodes with Andrea. This is one small but meaningful act that aligns with the messages around making choices based on what is best for you. The cosmic centerpiece of the conversation is Leo season and what may be one of the most charged astrological windows in decades, Barbault's Basket. Emily talks about how this is a rare alignment of outer planets that astrologer André Barbault identified as a potential turning point for humanity. With Jupiter in Leo facing off against Pluto in Aquarius, a total solar eclipse on August 12th, and the North Node shifting into Aquarius for the next year and a half, the hosts see this as a genuine threshold moment. The repetition in Andrea’s tarot cards echo the message throughout, starting with the Nine of Wands reminding us to stand tall as we near a change, and closing with the confident mastery of the King of Pentacles. The throughline from both astrology and cards is remarkably consistent - stop waiting for permission, trust what you've been building, and take the leap while the energy is finally at your back!

    180: Inviting Shadow: A Cosmic Energy Report for July to December 2026

    Cancer season and Inviting Shadow just got combined because "less is more" is pretty much the whole theme of this year anyway. In the episode Emily and Andrea map the entire back half of 2026, Cancer season all the way through winter solstice, in one sitting. Fair warning, this is a long one. Take it in pieces if you need to. Bookmark it. Come back to it every month like a lot of our listeners already do, but here's why you can't skip it! On July 3rd and 4th, Mars meets Uranus in Gemini for the first time since the 1940s. The last time these two collided in this sign, it was six days before the atomic bomb was dropped. The time before that, it was the literal day the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The time before that, it was the day the Continental Congress moved to declare independence from Britain. Emily spent two days trying to write about this one because it's loud and explosive energy. Layered right on top of it is something called Barbault's Basket, a rare alignment between Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The French astrologer Andre Barbault, who predicted the 2020 pandemic, the 2008 financial crash, and the fall of the Soviet Union, thought this basket configuration was a turning point for humanity. It's forming now. Emily walks through exactly what it means and why she's choosing hope over fear on this one. And that's just July. From there, the seasons unfold like a epic 3 part movie. August asks you to grieve amidst eclipses and September encourages you to sit on your throne of divine sovereignty. Things get tricky when October sharpens your tongue and boundary work. Clarity is kindness, even when it's a little brutal. November pulls the community back in around you, right when you need it most. December finally, finally lets you breathe, no retrogrades over the holidays for the first time in what feels like forever. Andrea pulled tarot for every single month and Emily mapped every major astrological transit. Together they bring you the most comprehensive look at the last half of 2026. If you only listen to one Cosmic Energy Report this year, make it this one. You're going to want the full picture before July hits!

    179: Gemini Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    Emily and Andrea check in while still recording in Taurus season, describing a “gas and brake” stagnation and encouraging nervous system regulation, rest, and steady Knight of Pentacles-style effort while living in a longer liminal period tied to larger astrological shifts. They introduce Gemini season as mutable, curiosity-driven, idea-collecting energy and discuss the Gemini–Sagittarius polarity, noting Uranus in Gemini will change the vibe for the next seven years and push belief revisions on a global scale. Andrea’s tarot pulls open with Page of Wands, then a run of grounding cards (10 of Pentacles, 9 of Pentacles, The Emperor, 4 of Pentacles) emphasizing tangible progress, self-made confidence, pattern-spotting, and avoiding scarcity spirals. They flag key transits and dates including Venus square Neptune and Sun conjunct Uranus (May 22), Mars square Pluto (May 26), a Sagittarius blue moon (May 31), Mercury into Cancer and later Mercury–Neptune/Saturn tension, Venus into Leo, a Gemini supermoon new moon, Venus opposite Pluto, and Chiron entering Taurus with money, security, and self-worth themes, then close with upcoming offerings, shows, and readings.   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome Back Hosts 00:46 Taurus Season Stuckness 03:37 Liminal Time Lessons 06:55 Rest And Reset 09:11 All Planets Shift 10:44 Gemini Season Begins 11:29 Gemini Traits Myth 16:02 Gemini In Real Life 17:17 Page Of Wands Kickoff 21:46 Uranus Changes Gemini 22:38 May 22 Fog Lightning 24:48 Ten Of Pentacles Week 30:11 Power Dynamics Flashpoints 35:15 Nine Of Pentacles Wins 38:24 Sagittarius Full Moon 40:00 Mercury Into Cancer 40:50 Remembering Good Times 41:25 Mercury Square Neptune Fog 42:26 Ten Ten Ten Test 42:54 Emperor Energy Grounding 48:22 Pisces Moon Presence 49:47 Venus Jupiter Group Hug 51:08 Mercury Saturn Defensive Words 52:46 Four of Pentacles Scarcity 58:49 Venus in Leo Spotlight 59:33 Gemini Supermoon Reset 01:02:03 Venus Pluto Red Flags 01:02:53 Chiron Enters Taurus Values 01:06:23 Collective Activism Shifts 01:10:53 July Turning Point Ahead 01:14:39 Creators Updates Offerings 01:20:19 Final Wrap and Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

    178: Taurus Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    This Cosmic Energy Report centers on a theme of collective awakening and the transition from chaos to grounded clarity. Andrea and Emily discuss how the intense Aries energy of recent weeks have been marked by political absurdity, rapid news cycles, and global upheaval. This combination is pushing many people past the point of comfortable ignorance. The sheer volume and speed of unfolding events is making it harder for anyone to look away, which is an unexpected source of optimism for those hoping for change. Humor, satire, and cross-cultural solidarity as signs that collective consciousness is shifting, and Andrea highlights a major contrast between the collaborative, emotionally intelligent astronauts of NASA's Artemis mission and the circumstances around the Titan submersible. On the other side of the energy spectrum is the astrological transition into Taurus season, a necessary exhale and return to self. With Uranus leaving Taurus after seven years of disrupting everything from financial security to personal identity, Emily frames this moment as a chance to rebuild foundations on more authentic terms. This will not be achieved through hustle, but through the Taurus virtues of slowness, sensory pleasure, and quiet trust in one's own instincts. She speaks to how the pandemic years stripped people of their ability to simply enjoy life, and tells us that Taurus season invites a reclamation of beauty, whimsy, and presence. Andrea's tarot pulls reinforce this arc, all pointing toward honest self-reckoning, balanced giving and receiving, and steady incremental action. This is  captured in the Zen proverb "chop wood, carry water" as the spiritual practice of ordinary life.   Show Notes   00:00 Welcome And Setup 00:26 World Events And Fast Energy 03:06 Absurd Politics And Media 08:31 Hopeful Turning Points 13:46 Judgment Card Week 18:07 What Taurus Season Means 21:48 Uranus Wraps Taurus 24:45 Key Dates April 19-25 27:55 Curiosity Over Panic 29:49 Six Of Pentacles Balance 34:33 Scorpio Full Moon Truths 37:24 Knight Of Pentacles Pace 40:44 Seasonal Rhythm And Burnout 41:52 Slow Down to Level Up 42:38 Mars Square Jupiter Tension 43:42 Mercury Pluto Shadow Talk 44:30 Pluto Retrograde Community Audit 45:12 Third Quarter Moon Reset 46:23 Hierophant Values and Leadership 52:04 Sun Mercury Clarity in Taurus 53:42 Mars Chiron and New Moon 58:54 Two of Cups Connection Days 01:01:42 Gemini Shift and New Momentum 01:06:41 Chariot Lessons on Rest 01:10:15 Birthdays and New Offerings 01:16:08 Creative Plans and Farewell    Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

    177: Aries Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    Emily and Andrea recap the emotional aftermath of early-2026 eclipse season and how people are split between feeling forward momentum and feeling stuck in “muck,” then preview Aries season as a cardinal, Mars-ruled reset tied to courage, initiative, and not playing small (with cautions around impulsiveness, anger, and burnout). They note major global headlines during the eclipse window, ongoing Saturn–Neptune influence, and potential financial volatility alongside cards that still look financially positive. Using tarot for the season—Magician, Queen of Pentacles, High Priestess, King of Swords, and Ten of Pentacles—they emphasize grounded resource management, trusting intuition, taking action, and expecting tangible confirmation. Key transits include Mercury ending retrograde at the equinox, Venus into Taurus, a Libra full moon, Mars into Aries, and a rare Aries pile-up (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron) culminating in an Aries new moon before Taurus season.   Emily and Andrea are chatting about the crazy emotions following the early-2026 eclipse season—seems like everyone's split between feeling totally ready to move forward and just stuck in the mud. They're looking ahead to Aries season, which is this big cardinal, Mars-ruled push for a reset. It's all about being brave, taking the lead, and not playing small (just watch out for getting too impulsive, angry, or burned out!). They bring up the major global news that went down during the eclipse window, the ongoing Saturn–Neptune vibes, and a heads-up about possible financial ups and downs, even though the overall outlook still looks good. Andrea pulled the tarot cards for the season—Magician, Queen of Pentacles, High Priestess, King of Swords, and Ten of Pentacles—which basically shout: get grounded with your money, trust your gut, actually do the thing, and expect to see real results. Key dates include Mercury finally going direct at the equinox, Venus moving into Taurus, a full moon in Libra, Mars heading into Aries, and this wild pile-up of planets in Aries (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron) hitting its peak with an Aries new moon right before Taurus season kicks off.   00:00 Welcome and Aries Preview 00:58 Post Eclipse Check In 02:17 Muck to Magic Themes 04:04 Cards Shift to Daily Life 07:16 Eclipse Fallout Headlines 10:55 Awareness and Power Shifts 13:51 Surgery Timeline Metaphor 16:58 Aries Season Basics 18:38 Aries Spirit and Chiron 21:40 Equinox Cards The Magician 28:54 March 20-21 Astro 30:19 Queen of Pentacles Grounding 34:01 March 22-28 Astro 38:21 High Priestess Next Week 43:19 March 29-April 4 Astro 46:52 King of Swords Clarity 53:03 April 5-11 Astro 55:14 Ten of Pentacles Rewards 59:53 April 12-18 Astro 01:12:29 Offerings and Newsletters 01:17:59 Final Wrap and Support   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

    176: Pisces Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    In this Cosmic Energy Report, Andrea and Emily discuss the nuanced energies of Pisces season. They dive deep into the implications of the Pisces new moon, the solar and lunar eclipses, and the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. Andrea shares her intuitive feelings about the fiery nature of this Pisces season, while Emily provides an astrological perspective on how this celestial period is expected to influence both the global stage and personal experiences. They highlighted how various planetary alignments, such as Neptune in Aries and multiple planetary bodies in Pisces, set the stage for significant shifts in emotional and physical realms. They advise listeners to stay grounded and protective of their personal peace during this period of heightened sensitivity and rapid change.   The discussion is complemented by tarot card readings, where the duality of light and shadow is emphasized during this season and how it manifests. One of the core themes that Andrea discusses is the significance of the King of Cups and Queen of Swords coming in together to signify a blend of emotional clarity and stringent boundaries, while Emily highlights the necessity of balancing practicality with spiritual insights. Additionally, they discuss how to navigate financial fears, the need for patience in new ventures, and the potential transformative power of the upcoming Aries energy. Both hosts guide listeners on how to channel this mix of cosmic energies towards positive outcomes, urging them to acknowledge their intuitive insights and prepare for the rapid forward momentum of Aries season. The episode is a holistic blend of intuitive insights and practical advice aimed at helping listeners ride the cosmic waves with confidence and clarity.   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art

    175: Aquarius Season Cosmic Energy Report 2026

    Prepare for a transformative Aquarius season and a spicy 2026 as Emily from Emily and Her Stars, and Andrea from Concrete and Crystals unravel the cosmic energies influencing us. They kick off with a real-life check-in on the “wet blanket” Capricorn hangover, then zoom out into the bigger Aquarius themes of community, systems, and finding your people without losing yourself.   Emily's breaking down the major astrology from late January to mid-February. A super intense Pluto week and the energy building up to the solar eclipse and the Fire Horse Lunar New Year. Meanwhile, Andrea's pulling tarot for each week (Pages, Strength, The Fool, and Three of Pentacles), talking about stepping up as a leader, getting your momentum going, listening to your nervous system, and why it's better to collaborate than to try and be a one-person show. Seriously, this is one of the first big, pivotal moments of 2026. Embrace the wild ride and remember that even in chaos, there's always a universal good to be found!   Connect with Andrea Newsletter: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/newsletter-signup Direct to Bookings: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/sessions Website: https://www.andreamccallumservices.com/ Instagram: @concreteandcrystals @andreamccallum.art
