Urban Siren: Tarot for Modern Mermaids and Mystics

Hello Fellow Seekers! This mini-episode centers on the "triple conjunction" within an 8 month period of Mars and Venus occurring on July 13, 2021, February 12, 2022 and March 12, 2022. We look at Mars (love Lindsay's take from www.tarotforthewildsoul.com) and Venus, how they are often polarized though also compliment each other, and a suggestion to journal about what you're experiencing on the aforementioned dates: how these conjunctions affecting you? I'd love to hear what comes up for you.

Leave me a message for the chance for your question to be addressed on an upcoming episode or write me a note.

For more of a deep dive into Venus and Mars and the Tarot cards associated with each sign, listen to "Episode 30. Aries Season, The Emperor and Full Moon in Libra: Relationships, Justice and Self Love," and "Episode 31. Taurus Season: Being in the Body, The Hierophant, and Examining Spiritual Bypass."

Celebrate New Moon Magick (there's a playlist for that), ripe with new beginnings. Ride the wave of an innovative spark thanks to this moon's placement in Aquarius, a sign celebrated for trailblazing and dreaming big for the benefit of the greater good. We dive into the symbolism of the Star card and celebrate its special place among the two cards that follow it in the Tarot: The Moon and The Sun. I reference a previous episode that highlights the Star card, and you're welcome to give it a listen: Episode 11. Full Moon in Aquarius: Licking Our Wounds In Leo Season. 

We reflect on our personal growth since the recent Full Moon in Cancer, and explore the symbolism of the Tarot card that literally jumped out during my shuffle: Seven of Pentacles, a card that encourages us to consider what we've built so far, and where we want to go with our efforts. Do we want to keep doing what we're doing, or are we ready to change things up?

Gemini season is here, sweet Friends. Here's a little mantra for us this season: "If you see something, say something." We've got Mercury in Gemini through June 22 and during that time, Mercury is retrograde from May 29 - June 21. As I mentioned in my blog post "Mercury in Gemini: Get Your Mind Right," this is an invitation to celebrate communication in all of its forms, and truly slow our role and benefit from the reflective energies of this retrograde season. It's also an important time to speak up about injustices in all their forms. In the spirit of "If you see something, say something," by all means, share the wealth about the good, juicy stuff and shout out great resources you admire. I am so pleased to give shout outs to peeps who have helped me grow and learn the intricacies inherent in deciphering astrology:

Jessica Lanyadoo of Ghost of a Podcast. Her recent interview with Tony Howard of Astrology University is outstanding and shines light on Mars out of bounds. 

Renee Sills of Embodied Astrology. Her subscriber offerings are off the chain and by far, the best deal in town. 

My beloved and wise astrology teacher Monte Farber of the Enchanted World. You can sign up for his online classes on Soultopia. 

Fellow Long Islander Colin Bedell of Queer Cosmos

We also explore The Lovers card in the Tarot in this episode and how we can lean on this card to help us make more life affirming choices. If you'd like to dig deeper into the Lovers card and how it associates with the sign of Gemini, listen to Episode 5. Gemini Season: The Lovers, The Dreamers and You and Me.

This is an anniversary episode of sorts to Episode 2 which kicked off my recording sessions during the advent of COVID19 in the Spring of 2020. I find myself reflecting on where I was mentally, emotionally and physically this time last year. Coming into Taurus season feels different this year: I have a year's worth of experience coping with all that COVID19 brought into my life. As an Earth sign, Taurus invites us into our bodies and to be present with the Earth itself. As the sun enters the sign of Taurus on April 19, and the planet Mercury (think: communication) will enter the sign of Taurus on this day as well, this Taurus season is an especially powerful time to reflect on how we relate to ourselves, our planet, our fellow sentient and non-sensient Earth mates, and how we might embody our outward and internal dialogue. We examine The Hierophant card as it relates to the sign of Taurus, and review ways we might better navigate any tendencies to engage in spiritually bypassing. Pictured in my episode art along with The Hierophant card from the Smith-Rider-Waite Tarot deck is the Spiritual Bypass card from Jordan Hope Miller's beautiful 33 Masters Oracle Deck. Here are a few words from Jordan's deck booklet describing the card:

"This card comes to you as a direct sign that you are using spirituality and its concepts to escape a reality that you created for yourself. The ego mind is capable of distorting knowledge, and in this case it is protecting you from a part of your journey that is Earthly. Being authentic and starting from where you are, and not from where you want to be will help you to become more present in your process of awareness."

I absolutely love this card and highly recommend Jordan's beautiful deck as a powerful tool to help you access deeper aspects of your psyche. Check out Jordan's deck and call one home for yourself. I included this card in the episode art as well as Jordan's words because I feel they so succinctly summarize the concept of spiritual bypassing. In bringing up spiritual bypass, by no means am I passing the buck. I've engaged in spiritual bypass as a way to cope with issues in my life that seemed unmanageable and overwhelming. I remedied spiritual bypass by working on issues in real time. While the work was difficult and in some cases heartbreaking, I needed to empower myself by taking responsibility, owning my choices and committing to making necessary changes. May this episode offer you relatable encouragement to solve challenges in practical ways. Taurus season is great medicine for helping us implement practical solutions to issues that otherwise might feel out of our reach. 

I am most delighted and deeply grateful to have Pete Calgaro in my circle of Instagram friends as he created the intro music you hear in this episode especially for my podcast! Enjoy his beautiful music and offerings on Pete's website. Be sure to follow Pete on Instagram to catch his exquisite live pan hand drum guided meditations.

It's Aries Season! Our mantra for this season is "Coming into balanced, healthy and loving relationship with ourselves." Let's reflect on how we relate to ourselves in this episode through the wisdom of The Emperor card in the Tarot as the card associates with the zodiacal sign of Aries. Are you ready to break patterns of self judgement and embrace healthy identification with yourself? Can I get a big "Yes!" on that? We can strengthen our relationships as exemplified by the sign of Libra and its association with the Justice card in the Tarot. This week, we're experiencing a Full Moon in Libra on Sunday, March 28 2021, and particularly during Aries season, this is a powerful time to reflect on how we relate to ourselves as well as others. We also explore the teachings of Rachel Pollack and her book "Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness." I've appreciated this book since it was introduced to me by Lindsay Mack on her podcast "Tarot for the Wild Soul." I touch on how the Emperor card relates to the Justice card and helps us transition our focus from ourselves and immediate circumstances on a micro level to the broader themes of connectivity and social responsibility on the macro level through The Justice card. 

If you're enjoying this episode, you might also like Episode 14. Full Moon In Aries, Libra Season and Justice for All.

Welcome, Seers! We've got quite the week ahead with six out of ten planets in the sign of Aquarius on February 11 and a New Moon as well. Buckle up, Buttercup, and give yourself plenty of time and space to process feelings and both external as well as internal shifts. We continue shifting and pivoting as the Sun moves from innovative, hands-in-all-the-pies Aquarius into the dreamy, deeply internal sign of Pisces on Feb. 18, and we take this opportunity to explore Pisces' corresponding Tarot card, The Moon. With feelings at the helm of this theme, we deep dive into relating to our emotional natures, our wild Selves (and, ahem, our repressed Selves) and our 12th house inclinations. Speaking of astrology, I'm taking a wonderful 12 week online course hosted by the incomparable Monte Farber, and if you'd like to sign up, there's still time and I'll see you there. In the meantime, if you're keen on checking out your birth chart, visit Cafe Astrology for your free natal chart.

With the Full Moon in Leo, we are invited to roar forth with what makes our hearts sing. I've been writing poetry for decades, and in the wake of Ms. Amanda Gorman's outstanding read during our recent Presidential Inauguration, I thought I'd share my writing with you. No matter how nervous we might feel when expressing our selves and our art, it's so important to allow ourselves to feel seen and supported. Many of us do not share our art for fear of criticism, rejection and over-exposure. I share my poetry with you in the hopes to inspire you to feel safe and free to share your art as well, in whatever way feels right for you. 

Leo is associated with The Sun card in the Tarot, and this card invites us to step fully into our Selves, regardless of the inevitability of being seen. Only when we step forth in authenticity, can we deeply reap the rewards of integrated living. Take a chance during the Full Moon in Leo and celebrate you. If you'd like more symbolism around The Sun card and Leo, listen to Episode 10: True Strength in Leo Season.

I'm excited to kick off innovative Aquarius season with something that I've been dreaming up as a way to offer you oceans of depth for your soul. Siren Songs are my new monthly Tarot card pulls for each zodiac sign.

If you know your sun, moon and rising signs, check out the Siren Song for each. If you're not sure of your moon or rising sign, then your sun sign is fine.

December 21 marks the Winter Solstice and the beginning of (my favorite) Capricorn season. The medicine of Capricorn and The Devil card as it associates with this zodiac sign invites us to befriend all aspects of ourselves, giving ourselves the freedom to be who we truly are without shame or guilt. We explore the deep medicine of The Devil card and how embracing our paradoxical nature celebrates our strength and complexity. This episode shares guidance for Tarot readers on how to work with The Devil card as medicine for themselves as well as their clients. Catch the replay of my @urbansirencreative IGTV interview with Kristen Leigh (@tarot.with.a.therapist) as we discuss the importance of mental health and protecting our clients by enacting healthy and safe boundaries around our offerings.

In this minicast, we celebrate the last eclipse of 2020, and as the Sun enters the moon this evening at 10:35 p.m. EST, I felt compelled to give a shout out to my fellow [deep feeling] Capricorns. We're gaining ground toward Capricorn season when the Sun enters this sign on Dec. 21 (this date marks the Winter Solstice, too), so as the goal oriented double Cap that I am, I'm delighted to share that my IGTV series is live and we're going strong with amazing and informative guests. This past Tuesday, I welcomed Jordan Hope Miller, creator of the 33 Masters Oracle Deck (we had a lively giveaway of his deck, too). Jordan and I talked about transgender awareness, the art that flutters our hearts, and we even some cards for our viewers to address their burning oracle and Tarot questions. It was pure joy, and you can catch the replay. And this Tuesday, Dec. 15, I'll welcome Kristen Leigh, LCSW (@tarot.with.a.therapist) at 12:00 p.m. noon EST, followed by an interview at 7:00 p.m. with Courtney Lee Hall (@plantspirits) and we'll be giving away one of her handcrafted, small batch flower essences. Enter to win the giveaway of her beautifully supportive Red Columbine Flower Essence and her poetically written 14 page full color booklet, "Wild Messengers" which teaches all about her flower essences, through Dec. 17. Visit my Instagram page @urbansirencreative for all the details, and be sure to subscribe to my newsletter so you catch all the excitement in your inbox and don't miss a thing. Check out all my offerings (at least, I think I've captured them all, LOL!) 

You can leave me your tarot message on Anchor.fm for a chance to have your question addressed on an upcoming episode. How cool is that? 

Until next time, take good care of yourself, and sending you so much love. xox Diane

In light of the recent announcement that Donald Trump and his wife have contracted Coronavirus, herewith a teeny tiny mini-segment on the dangers of gloating and how tempted we are to do so during a full moon in Aries. Bravo to the class act that is Gov. Andrew Cuomo in light of this announcement. I am proud to be a New Yorker. 

May all beings be happy, may all beings be healthy, may all beings be free from suffering.

As promised in the podcast, you might enjoy the book "Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women's Lives," by Jean Shinoda Bolen (available here on Abe Books). This modern classic helps us identify with the timeless archetypes offered up in the form of three Goddess types: virgin, vulnerable and alchemical. I read this insightful book more than 20 years ago and it still influences my self-awareness and helps me understand the reasoning behind my decision-making.

It's a wild pivot from Leo season into Virgo season. How refreshing to embrace at this time the accompanying tarot card for Virgo season: The Hermit. Getting quite politically outspoken these days, so buckle up Buttercup as we dive into the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing and wellness aggrandizing during pandemics (ahem) and the dangers of falling hard for charismatic leaders. We touch briefly on what it means to have Leo in one's south node (great podcast recently on the topic of nodes from Ghost of a Podcast).

The funny thing about this episode is that I recorded an entire first 30 minutes that did not process successfully, so I recorded a 2nd half of the podcast which I'm keeping as the entire episode this time around: a good lesson for me as I have Aquarius in my North node and Leo in my South node. I'm always striving to release my need for perfection and reduce my attachment to any investment in the outcome of my work! We explore the Star card in the Tarot and how it relates to healing from a balanced place that is connected to both earth and spirit, and we touch upon the dangerous natures of cult personalities, spiritual bypassing and narcissistic abuse. If you're interested in the topic of cult personalities as they relate to conspiracy thinking, I highly recommend the Conspirituality podcast. 

Also mad props to astrologer and psychic Monte Farber for so eloquently explaining the tendencies of Leo to me in his summary that a "Leo has stage fright: they are terrified of NOT being on stage." Brilliant!

We talk also about codependency and I often recommend the book "Codependent No More" when the issue of codependency comes up in a tarot reading with my clients.

Truth-seeing is one of the greatest gifts we can allow ourselves to experience, as painful as the truth may be at times. Living through this COVID19 pandemic and subsequent economic crisis has tired many of us, beating us down and testing our faith. In this episode inspired by the book "Power vs Force" by Dr. David Hawkins, we explore Leo season and as the sign is ruled by the sun, we also take a look at the Sun card in the tarot, as well as the Strength card as it is ruled by Leo. Seeing the truth can be extremely challenging as it may conflict with our long-held beliefs. Let's feel empowered to utilize the powerful aspects of Leo season to face the truth and be active participants through our sacredly aligned sense of Self.

In this mini episode and during Gemini season, we explore the energy of the Waxing Half Moon in Virgo and the significance of The Hermit card in the Tarot, encouraging us to engage in mindful and purposeful action. In the current COVID19 crisis, we're also experiencing significant violence and the tragedy of biased and unconscious action. In this episode, I speak about one of my heroes, Thich Nhat Hanh: Vietnamese Buddhist monk, poet, activist and positive social change agent, and his dedication to channeling powerful emotions for the greater good. We also discuss the difference between power and force, as highlighted in the book "Power vs Force: The Hidden Detriments of Human Behavior" by Dr. David Hawkins.

Welcome to Urban Siren Podcast, where we explore mind, body and spirit through the lens of the Tarot. I'm Diane Ferraro, and I'm honored to be your host on this journey of self-discovery and interconnectedness. As we experience the last full supermoon of 2020 in the astrological sign of Scorpio, and May's Flower Moon (the Old English word Rimilcemona, which I butchered on the podcast--oh my gosh, apologies!--is explained here), we explore our relationship to transformation, letting go, and rebirth. Moving through the process of the COVID19 pandemic, for many of us, feelings of grief are arising. We explore the five stages of grief, also known as the Kübler-Ross model, which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. These stages can arise in a cyclical nature, rather than a linear nature, and it is important to gift ourselves permission to have a meandering relationship with grief. We also explore the concept of shadow work in relation to personal growth and self awareness, and how shadow work can be a powerful tool to realign ourselves with our truest nature, while releasing shame, guilt and denial.

Tarot decks mentioned in the episode:

The Lightseer's Tarot

Moonchild Tarot

Welcome to Urban Siren Podcast, where we explore mind, body and spirit through the lens of the Tarot. I'm Diane Ferraro, and I'm honored to be your host on this playful journey of self-discovery and interconnectedness. As we acknowledge the history of the Gaelic celebration of Beltane, we experience the mid-way point between Spring and Summer. It's a time for rebirth, rebuilding and growth on a collective level. In this episode, we continue to explore The Hierophant in the Tarot, and blend Beltane imagery to connect our own personal enlightenment with the coming of the light in the Natural world. As I mentioned in this episode, a wonderful resource to learn about traditional celebrations is through Danica Boyce's podcast, Fair Folk Podcast. 

Also mentioned in this episode is a clinical study between laughter and fertility featured in Healthland.Time.com, written by neuroscience journalist Maia Szalavitz, which you can read here. 

And, you can find the good work of Brian Clark, astrologer and teacher, right here. Thank you Astrology University for hosting the recent online live summit on Astrology and Relationships, where I had the great opportunity to listen to Brian's talk about "Love in the Time of Capricorn, " which was so profoundly informative and moving for me.
