    Common Myths About Tarot, Astrology & Spirituality

    Does your first tarot deck really have to be gifted? Do you need to be psychic to read tarot? Does Mercury retrograde mean everything is about to go wrong and is everything really a sign? In this episode of Wildflowers & Moonlight, Alex unpacks some of the most common myths, rules, and misconceptions that get repeated in tarot, astrology, and spiritual spaces.

    Astrology vs. Astronomy — Can You Love Both?

    Do you have to choose between loving astrology and appreciating science? I don't think so. In this episode of Wildflowers & Moonlight, we're exploring the relationship and important differences between astrology and astronomy. We'll talk about what astronomy studies, what astrology actually claims to do, where their shared history eventually split into two very different paths, and why I believe we can enjoy symbolic traditions without pretending they're the same thing as science. We'll also explore how curiosity, skepticism, spirituality, and scientific understanding can exist in the same space. Because appreciating the symbolism of Saturn doesn't make the real planet any less incredible and understanding why the Moon has phases doesn't make standing beneath a Full Moon any less beautiful. 🔭 Science can help us understand the universe.🌙 Symbolism can help us reflect on our experience within it. And sometimes, wonder lives comfortably between the two. See you beneath the wild skies.

    Why Your Intuition Isn't Broken

    Have you ever thought, “Maybe I'm just not an intuitive person?” Your intuition probably isn't broken, you may just have a harder time hearing it beneath all the noise. In this episode of Wildflowers & Moonlight, we're exploring what intuition actually is, what it isn't, and why it doesn't have to look like psychic visions, mysterious messages, or dramatic gut feelings. We'll talk about the quieter ways intuition can show up, how anxiety and intuition can sometimes feel confusingly similar, why trusting yourself takes practice, and how you can begin paying closer attention to your own inner voice without handing your decision-making over to it. Because intuition isn't about knowing everything. It's about learning to notice, reflect, and trust yourself while still leaving room for evidence, reason, and uncertainty. 🌿 You don't need to become more mystical to become more intuitive. You may simply need to become more familiar with yourself. See you beneath the wild skies.

    Numerology 101 — What Your Life Path Number Can (and Can't) Tell You

    Your birth date can be reduced to a Life Path Number, but what does that number actually mean, and how much can it really tell you about yourself? In this episode of Wildflowers & Moonlight, we're exploring the basics of numerology and breaking down Life Path Numbers 1–9, along with the Master Numbers 11, 22, and 33. We'll talk about how to calculate your Life Path Number, the traditional themes associated with each number, and why I see numerology as a tool for self-reflection rather than a rulebook for your life. We'll also spend a little extra time with Master Numbers. A topic that's personal to me as someone with a Master Number Life Path and clear up the idea that having one somehow makes you more spiritual, intuitive, or "special" than everyone else. Your Life Path Number can't predict exactly who you'll become. But it can give you another interesting lens through which to explore your strengths, challenges, patterns, and possibilities. ✨ Grab your birth date, calculate your number, and let's see what you discover. See you beneath the wild skies.
