The Magic Spark Tandy Gutierrez

Happy Taurus Season

This episode is our single card tarot forecast for April 19th - May 19th 2024.

1 card for the spirit in which to move through things….that turned into two. The Universe has spoken…. Lean into this episode to hear what the Universe wants us to lean into in this particular Pisces season….it’s pure magic. 

Taurus is represented by The Hierophant in the Tarot. A hierophant is a person, who interprets sacred mysteries or esoteric principles. Traditionally it’s a religious figure. Like a priest. In the Smith Rider Waite deck they are depicted seated on a throne between two pillars symbolizing Law and Freedom or obedience and disobedience. They’re wearing a triple crown that symbolizes their spiritual superiority and authority via the emperor, also wearing a red cloak - that can symbolize power or bloodshed in the name of their beliefs, with the keys to Heaven are at their feet. Personally I love the keys because I feel like it’s a wink from Hekate - Dark goddess - mother of all witches - saying YOU are the keys to heaven…you don’t need this false gateway. YOU are the bridge between heaven and earth. 

 

This card offers us the message of the dangers of following the herd mentality, trying to fit in, doing what the masses are doing. It says to stay away from organized religion and corporations. 

 

Taurus, as an energy of the zodiac, offers us:

 


The magic of loyalty, hard work, stability, and ambition
Healing the wounds of the body, care, nourishment, support, worthiness, love, safety
The power of setting your emotions aside (for a moment) to solve in practical ways
The power of repetition for the long game 
The pleasure of pleasure
The pleasure of being human
The challenge of knowing when to be consistent vs. obstinate
The challenge of not always going it alone
A true balance of work and rest

Happy Taurus Season!

The Sun sits in Taurus April 19th - May 19th 2024.

Taurus season always offers stability, ambition, focus, pleasure seeking obstinance, resiliency, and loyalty - as we say goodbye to the high energy, impatient, competitive, confident bravery of Aries season…not to mention a genuine good-bye to eclipse season. 

 

This transition has us implementing plans and projects. It has us setting our emotions aside, and getting super grounded and realistic. It asks what resources do we actually have to work with. Now. In hand and available. There is acceptance here for what is. This could feel like cold water, it could build confidence at there being more resources to work with than you thought you had. 

This season says, what did you get excited about in Aries season and want to happen instantaneously? A spark has been ignited

What were the reveals and pivots of the eclipses in your life?

Taurus season hits the pause button and wants to determine what are the practical and tactical applications that we need to get the tires to hit the pavement and bring these excitements, sparks, and visions into being. 

 

Taurus is the bull of the chart. It’s going to be about resources. It will ask, What do I have? What do I have to show for my effort? My work? Where do I need to put more effort or any effort for that matter. 

 

Taurus  requires effort. It requires that we DO something. Taurus is a high manifestor via the long game. No instant gratification to be had here. Like none. Lol. But it’ll move you solidly forward and along the path towards your goal. 

 

 

This season has us in work mode. Time to make the donuts persé. Implement the to-dos. 

 

 

In this Taurus season:

April 19th - Sun moves into Taurus

April 19th - Saturn Semi-Sextiles the North Node in Aries

April 20th - Jupiter Conjunct Uranus

April 23rd - Full Moon in Scorpio

April 25th - Mercury Direct - 2 weeks of shadow begin

May 2nd - my birthday!

May 2nd - Pluto Stations Retrograde

May 6th - Saturn Semi- Square Pluto

May 7th - New Moon in Taurus

May 15th - Mercury moves into Taurus

 

Taurus season basics - the second sign of the zodiac chart - It says dependability, intelligence, and hard work pay off. 

 

Taurus is also the bull of the chart, it  gets pegged as the materialistic - connected to finances - and its mantra is I HAVE - I like to reframe and clarify that Taurus is the sensualist of the chart. Ruled by Venus - our goddess Aphrodite - Taurus truly gets what it means to be human, in a 3D skin suit…that a balance of work and  pleasure is very much the point of this earth school - it knows financial resources provide food, water, shelter…that are necessary - it also allows us to explore what if what is necessary was also really pleasurable? This season loudly pulls in the question my Magical Mentees are already working with in this cycle - that is Aphrodite’s ultimate question: DOES IT PLEASE ME?

 

Taurus wants cozy fabrics like uber soft cotton, satin, cashmere or velvet. 

Food is our love language. 

And yes, Taurus does think it can buy its way to happiness -  or a solution. And you know what - sometimes it’s not wrong. 

 

It’s is a fixed earth sign, stable, strong and typically inherently grounded.

With a strength that is deep and often formidable. 

 

Taurus can generate big manifestations when in balance…willing to meet the Universe more than halfway, knowing at their core they are worthy, clear about wants, desires, and needs. There is a heartfelt energy here for life. 

 

Everyone thinks it’s high vibrations that cultivate manifestations….but it’s really high vibration connected to GROUNDING. If there is no grounding there is nowhere for the magic to take root in this 3 dimensional life. Grounding is truly what allows magick to manifest. 

 

In Balance Taurus is lovingly loyal for a lifetime. They are the earth-parent energy that can and will hold anyone

Spring & Aries Season 2024 Tarot Forecast

This episode is our full five card tarot forecast for March 19th - April 18th 2024, as well as March 19th - June 19th 2024.


1 card for the theme of this season.
1 card for what to release.
1 card for what to learn.
1 card for the BIG steps for your highest and greatest good this season.
1 card for the NEXT step for your highest and greatest good this season. 

This is a multi-layered episode of both a micro AND macro cycle. 

 

This episode may have more weight or significance if you are an Aries native with your sun, rising or moon in this sign, or have major placements or a stellium in Aries in your natal chart. 

 

Aries in the Tarot, in the Major Arcana is represented by The Emperor - this is another often demonized card that gets stuck in toxic masculinity narratives of control, willpower by forces, or power hungry motivation. In truth The Emperor is all about strategy and long term goals. It has a genuine connection to entrepreneurs, to father energy, and yes, to colonization and empire. 

 

In balance this card brings us balance and secure foundations through conventional values of community, family, what we cultivate and contribute to these structures. It is constructive boundaries, practical matters, food, water shelter….loyalty and fairness. It reminds us we have free will and to exercise our own power to constructively get to what we want, wish and desire. 

 

The Emperor is the master builder. Who creates based on soul destiny and personal soul/moral compass. This card represents empowerment through independence and authentic expression. In exaltation it is manifestation based on proficiency of one’s personal power/will power through integrity. The emperor is the external embodiment of inner potential. 

 

The emperor in exaltation is the benevolent leader that makes decisions based on the greater good of all. Says we can provide for all and is fair and right to do so..it’s all in how we allocate our resources. It’s in awareness of resources and how to maximize, allocate, and utilize them for the long game. 

In Imbalance it is all the toxic masculinity, force, ego, violence that takes and wants at all costs, particularly at the cost of others. Cruelty, domination, control, and violence are present here. WIth zero to little concern for long term outcome. It is unchecked desire. It is immature and undereducated - functions from fear and lack of confidence….it is truly the expression of anger being really loud sadness….lack of empathy, lack of love, lack of compassion, and a lack of emotional intelligence. There is a massive disconnect from emotions here. No tools for constructive processing or healing.

 

This card will always call up:


What are your long term goals? 
Are you planning and acting in accordance with the long term?
Are you in active emotional processing and growth?
How is your relationship to power?
Do you exercise constructive empowerment? 
Do you make decisions? 
Do you shy away from decisions in order to make others the villain and keep you the victim? 
Do you make decisions to allow yourself the power you do have in every situation, even if you don’t love the choices, to shine and grow your integrity and path?

 

We have so much goodness to gain from this highly misunderstood card. 

Aries is cardinal fire energy - In the suites of the Tarot -  fire is wands. Wands represent willpower, creativity, and inspiration.  It's unpredictable, hot, and wild. And in imbalance it's an illusion, a nonconstructive ego that only says me first, it can be impulsive, and seriously lack direction or purpose, and can have us feeling meaningless.

 

Fire is primal. It’s also the element of magic. Transformation. Change. Alchemy. Fire is considered the seed through which all life springs. It’s creative life force and ultimate potential.

HOORAY FOR SPRING!

We dive into Aries season and all it has to offer us March 19th - April 18th 2024. As well as the overall energetics for Spring in the northern hemisphere and Fall in the southern hemisphere March 19th - June 19th 2024 + Happy Astrological New Year!

 

This is a big shift. An important transition. And in my opinion the most fun time of the year. 

 

Aries season always welcomes the high energy, impatient, competitive, ambitious, confident, bravery as we say goodbye to the moody, dreamy, artistic, romantic, creative, emo, grief, empathic, sensitive, idealistic adaptability of Pisces season.

 

This transition has us taking the release and healing we got in Pisces season…as well as all the evaluation we’ve been doing since the fall about what works, what has never worked and what we want moving forward….Aries season supports us to finally start the new things we’ve been sitting on, thinking about, plotting and planning. 

 

We won’t reach all the goals in this season. We probably won’t see manifestation this cycle,  but we start, we leap, we sprint a fair distance into them. Fire is welcomed back to the chart, to the energetics and fire is magic. It’s an exciting time meant for taking risks and attempting things we’ve not tried before. The risks are supported! Not a yolo type of risk but calculated risks…that we’ve been weaving through and around since Libra season, September 2023. It’s a long time, but it’s the synthesis and understanding of your life lived last year.  

 

Aries season asks us to rebirth ourselves, better, stronger, more empowered, and confident…because of the digging, thinking, feeling, shadow work and exploration we’ve been willing to do. It’s not random action. Exalted, wise, Aries is not impulsive. Under Evolved Aries is impulsive, implosive, and definitely does not think about the long game…..but balanced Aries…now that’s a whole other story we are learning and growing into particularly in this cycle. 

 

Let’s break it down. 

 

In this Aries season:

It’s eclipse season

Mercury is in pre shadow

March 19th - Sun enters Aries

March 22nd - mars enters Pisces

March 25th - Full moon lunar eclipse (penumbral) in Libra

April 1 - Mercury Stations Rx

April 5 - Venus enters Aries

April 8 - New moon solar eclipse (total) in Aries

 

 

 

This cycle - Aries season - and for this community's purpose also an umbrella for all of spring.   as a whole it’s going to be a bit wild. Communication is going to be taxed, shifted, weird, and wonky. Both internal and external. And yet there’s so much that offers expressions of communication and growth. Clarity. Brashness. Honesty at a whole other level from yourself and to others. There can be self trust here like never before and you function off of that. It won’t always be received well by others. 

 

It’s a time to take the weird way (isn’t it always, around here). A time to not overthink things. Check in with the body, how do you FEEL? Check in with the brain, what do you think? Whats YOUR truth of the situation…..take action based on these things. We are being asked to move into our wise leader (exalted Aries) with a focus on putting ourselves first - moving away from people pleasing and codependency and into the divine I can I am. There is sovereignty to be gained here if the risks are calculated, understood and taken with grounded faith and surrender to your connection with the unseen. 

 

There’s a LOT going on here - simply with the eclipses. 

 

Aries season and spring ask us to take action. Do. Based on our evaluation of the past year. It’s a mix of cerebral functionality - a little pro and con list here is constructive for Aries….and soul fire audacity. This cycle wants us to jump forward. 

 

The nodes of fate are mathematical points in the sky that shift clockwise through the zodiac wheel every 18 months. They denote where the eclipses will

EP 58: Magical Mentoring from the inside - with Nathan Foster and Meghan Taylor

In this bonus episode I am joined by two of my Magical Mentoring clients to share their experiences with and through the containers I hold.

 

There’s no real way to explain what happens inside Magical Mentoring - it is both practical and magical. It’s personal. It’s fun, and deep. Straight forward and liminal. it’s intuitive and has quite a bit of flow to it - yet -  there is clear structure. And it unfolds in its own expression during the process. Each session is unique. 

 

The only way to truly KNOW what it’s like is to embark on it. But, I know, it’s an unknown…so that can be scary or weird so people don’t take the risk…which means they miss out on the rewards. 

 

This episode is a safe way to try and go behind the curtain to better understand, and to perhaps see if it’s a fit for you, at some point on your path.

 

It’s also a wonderful way to get to know the community of Unicorn Wellness and Magical Mentoring.

If you’re not interested in mentoring, this conversation offers joy, exploration, support, and healing processes. There is a spark here for everyone.

They are both amazing, magical, space holding educators.

Ep 41: BONUS Magical Mentoring

This episode is our single card tarot forecast for February 18th - March 19th 2024.

1 card for the spirit in which to move through things….that turned into two. The Universe has spoken…. Lean into this episode to hear what the Universe wants us to lean into in this particular Pisces season….it’s pure magic. 

Pisces is represented by The Moon in the Tarot. In the RIder Waite Smith deck it is depicted by two dogs howling at the moon, that blocks out the sun. One of the dogs appears wild, and the other domesticated. They stand on land with water in front of them with a crayfish crawling out of the water. The crayfish represents the fearful self…it looks towards a long path in front of it and offers us that thought of…others have done it, can I? There is a message here of the life of the imagination vs. an actual life of decisions. 

 

This card traditionally offers us an opportunity to develop our Spirituality deeper, or for the first time. It can offer an awakening of the third eye/pineal gland and the solar plexus…or a spiritual awakening in general. 

 

The Moon an alignment between body, spirituality, and psyche. 

It requires us to make decisions in order to move forward up, out, and away from fear. 

 

It’s number 18 - 1 + 8 = 9  karmic closures and cycles ending. Perfect for the last sign of the zodiac chart that finishes the astrological year and says purge, grieve, let go…in order to heal.  

 

Pisces, as an energy of the zodiac, offers us:

 


The magic of adaptability, creativity, artistry, fantasy, and idealism.
Healing the wounds of worthiness, lack, limitation, love, safety, creativity
The power of allowing your emotions out and through
The power of hope and potential
The challenge of creating and keeping healthy boundaries
The challenge of not remaining a victim
A true balance of humanity and divinity - our only assignment in life school
