💫NASA discovered a new Comet, named Newowise in late March of this year and for the past couple of weeks it’s been passing by the earth. What can this celestial event reflect for us here on earth in the midst of the chaos of multiple pandemics? What can it teach us about developing a new wisdom that is equal to these challenges?
Here is a pic of the Stone Card along with a re-created image of Haley's comet mentioned in the episode.

Survival Archetypes Part 2
Episode sponsor: Get your first 5 minute reading for only $5 with Keen so click or tap this link to get started https://trykeen.com/archetypal
The core survival archetypes are: The Child, The Victim, The Saboteur and The Prostitute.
Part 1 covered The Child & The Victim and in this episode we cover The Saboteur and The Prostitute.
For a cinematic deep dive into all of the survival archetypes using the film The Way, check out this downloadable course from Julienne’s mentor, Jim Curtan. The Way: A Journey of Healing & Self Acceptance https://gum.co/theway Use the promo code: rona for 20% off purchase.
The world seems to be turned upside down, and many of us long for a simple answer to complicated problems. This two part series discusses 4 archetypes universal to everyone that form the core patterns of survival.
Each of these patterns can give us a place to stand amidst the chaos. If we are open to observing what archetypal patterns are emerging for us we can better navigate our lives and interact positively for ourselves and our community.
First off, what is an archetype?
Archetypes are universal patterns of talents, motivations and behaviors.
They contain a dialogue of how and why we use our energy the way we do.
Archetypal patterns are a way to learn about the truth and possibilities of our lives.
Every character archetype has an empowered or light side as well as a disempowered or shadow side.
Archetypes are both universal and personal. More at Julienne’s website: https://archetypist.com/
The Saboteur
Corollary or attendant archetypes: Magician, Alchemist
The Head
Mind & Thought
Choice, Truth, Self-Esteem
Element: Air
The Saboteur is often the Inner Critic with a running dialogue that picks things to pieces (hence the sabotaging…). It’s the part of us that has a tendency to be logical (empowered) and over-thinking (disempowered). The Alchemist/Magician represents an ability to identify and understand the illusions that the Saboteur concocts and seeing the possibilities in situations. The ancient Alchemists where focused on changing lead to gold and the symbolic Alchemist can see the gold in the leaden situations.
In film/tv: Miranda - Sex & the City, Hermione - Harry Potter
The Prostitute
Corollary or attendant archetype: Lover
The Heart
Emotions, Faith, Negotiation, Integrity, Self-Worth
Lover / Prostitute
Element: Water
In film/tv: Charlotte from Sex in the City, Hagrid from Harry Potter
The Prostitute archetype engages lessons in integrity and the sale or negotiation of one’s integrity or spirit due to fears of physical and financial survival or for financial gain. This archetype activates the aspects of the unconscious that are related to seduction and control, whereby you are as capable of buying a controlling interest in another person as you are in selling your own power. Prostitution should also be understood as the selling of your talents, ideas, and any other expression of the self–or the selling-out of them. This archetype is universal and its core learning relates to the need to birth and refine self-esteem and self-respect. The disempowered version of the Prostitute is the People Pleaser, the empowered, the Lover who gives from their excess.

Accept with Compassion - accept it’s message for you with compassion
Investigate - where and why this pattern comes up

Customer Reviews
Wonderfully insightful!
The ATP is one of the absolute best tarot resources out there! The personable and charming hosts present big ideas in a way that is approachable and mind-expanding at the same time, relating the tarot cards to a variety of contemporary and historical figures and events. There are few tarot books, websites, or other types of resources that have deepened my understanding of the major cards more than this podcast. Thanks Julienne and Cyndera! --Weston, host of the Root Lock Radio tarot podcast
both the most educational and enjoyable Tarot podcast on the net.
I found this podcast whilst looking to get some basic knowledge of the Tarot. Couldn't believe what I'd stumbled across! Julienne and Cyndera draw on myth, archetypes and Jungian psychology to produce an incredibly in depth walk through of the Major Arcana. At the same time, they pitch this in a down to earth style that is accessible to anyone, whether you're familiar with these kind of concepts or not. They're also incredibly fun people to listen to - so I think this has to be both the most educational and enjoyable Tarot podcast on the net.

Where are the Episodes that Precede The Hermit?
I’ve really enjoyed this podcast so far. But in iTunes, it seems the episodes prior to the one about The Hermit are missing.
