    110: When Magic Stops Being a Theory

    When Magic Stops Being a Theory Somewhere between 38 and 50, most of us get hit by something we never saw coming. You feel like a stranger in your own life. You're crying in the grocery store parking lot and you don't know why. Everyone tells you to expect the truck that hits you in midlife. Nobody warns you about what comes through the hole it makes. This week I'm introducing a word I made up because we need it. midstery (MID-stuh-ree), noun. Midlife, mystery. A midstery is when magic stops being just a theory. Something magical happens in your own life, it stops being a thing that happens to other people, and you start running toward it, fascinated. Each one permanently widens what you're able to notice. Enough of them add up to an awakening. And they almost never show up on a retreat in Sedona. They show up while you're loading the dishwasher. In this episode: Why busyness is the most rewarded numbing agent we have, and what it's covering up What happens somewhere between 38 and 50 that nobody prepares you for Midstery: the word for what comes after the truck Why the women in your life don't think they have intuition, and the history that taught them that What your brain does with the eleven million pieces of information your senses hand it every second Why federal agents are worse at spotting a liar than you are My theory about why true crime is a woman's genre One small thing to do this week that will make it very hard to keep calling yourself unintuitive Chapters: 00:00 Purpose and Pain 00:55 The Busy Trap 02:38 Midstery 07:41 Intuition and Evidence 14:03 Practice Your Intuition Doing the case file? I want to hear about it. Come tell me on Instagram, or hit reply on the newsletter. I read every message myself and I'm dying to know what midsteries are coming through for you.

    108: What's Me, Versus the Me I Think I'm Supposed to Be

    Ten years in business as a psychic medium and astrologer. Countless client conversations. And it always comes down to the same question. In this episode, Emily traces the invisible rulebook most of us are unknowingly living by... the self-doubt, the midlife unraveling that starts earlier than you'd think, and the words we've inherited that were rigged against women from their very roots. "Virtue," from the Latin vir, meaning man. This is also the episode marking a return. Ten years in, Emily is done hiding the real, raw, unfiltered version of herself... and this podcast is refreshing right along with her. If you've ever felt like everyone else got the instruction manual except you, start here.   Show Notes: 00:00 – Why she's rebranding the podcast after 10 years as a psychic medium and astrologer 00:31 – Midlife, purpose, and the fear of being truly seen 02:07 – How trauma, injustice, and self-doubt keep us stuck 03:54 – E.O. Wilson's "Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, godlike technology" 05:16 – The word "virtue" and how morality was built to exclude women 07:20 – Ancient female warriors and the myths we've inherited 09:28 – Disconnection from our own intuition 10:47 – Choosing to stop hiding her real, raw self 11:26 – What a "soul audit" is and why she wishes she'd had one sooner 12:28 – Feeling unfulfilled despite doing everything "right" 14:14 – Everyone has access to their own intuition — how to start developing it 15:21 – Closing invitation to reach out if you feel a calling   If you've ever felt like everyone else got the instruction manual except you, start here. Tell me what's going on. We'll follow it wherever it leads.   Connect with Emily Bookings & Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://emilyandherstars.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Instagram & Threads: @emilyandherstars

    106: Cosmic Energy Report: June - December 2026

    Cancer and Beyond Cosmic Energy Report | June - December 2026  Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs.   In this 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! 0:00 – Welcome & Gemini Season Recap 10:00 – Cancer Season: Themes & Meaning 11:38 – Cancer Season Tarot Cards  26:38 – July Astrology 40:38 – Barbault's Basket: The Rare Outer Planet Configuration 51:13 – August and Eclipses 59:06 – September Emotions 1:15:54 – October Retrogrades 1:28:12 – November  1:34:41 – December 1:51:19 – Closing Thoughts & Resources   Connect with Emily Bookings & Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com/tellme Join the Cards + Cosmos Club: https://www.emilyandherstars.com/shop/p/2025cardscosmos Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://emilyandherstars.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Instagram & Threads: @emilyandherstars

    105: Cosmic Energy Report - Gemini 2026

    Gemini Season Cosmic Energy Report | May 20 - June 20, 2026 Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs. Recorded while still sitting in Taurus season stagnation, Emily and Andrea dive into why everything feels like the gas and the brake at the same time, what the ancients understood about liminal periods that we've forgotten, and why this Gemini season is unlike any we've had before. In this episode: Why Uranus in Gemini changes the game for the next seven years. Andrea's tarot pulls that surprised both of us. The transit entering Taurus for the first time since 1983. Why you might be watering someone else's garden. And the Dogma quote that sums up the entire Gemini-Sagittarius axis.

    104: Cosmic Energy Report - Taurus 2026

    In this episode, Emily and Andrea dive into the aftermath of Aries season and prepare you for Taurus 2026. All this chaos might actually be working! The political absurdity, the nonstop news, the global upheaval... it's making it harder for people to look away, and that's where the hope is. We'll explore how humor, satire, and cross-cultural solidarity are shifting the collective consciousness, and Andrea draws a fascinating comparison between NASA's Artemis astronauts and the Titan submersible that really puts things in perspective. Then the conversation shifts to Taurus season, 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 your foundations on more stable ground. We’re not going to be able to hustle the rebuilding so do what you can through steady pleasure, and trusting your instincts instead of doubling-down on quick fixes. The pandemic years stripped people of their ability to simply enjoy life, and this 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 Visit emilyandherstars.com for readings, workshops, and updates. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review Things That Make You Go Woo to help others find the magic. ✨ Share this episode with a friend who’d love some cosmic clarity.

    103: Cosmic Energy Report - Aries 2026

    In this Cosmic Energy Report, 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. Then we look ahead to Aries season for a 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!). We 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 ahead. Andrea pulled the tarot cards for Aries season—which basically shout: get grounded with your money, trust your gut, actually do the thing, and expect to see real results. Emily shares key dates include Mercury finally going direct at the equinox, Venus moving into Taurus, a full moon in Libra, Mars heading into Aries, and a 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.   Show Notes 00:00 Introduction and Hosts 00:00 Welcome 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   Visit emilyandherstars.com for readings, workshops, and updates. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review Things That Make You Go Woo to help others find the magic. ✨ Share this episode with a friend who’d love some cosmic clarity.
