08/09/2025

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS TAROT: The astrological weather surrounding this lunation is wild and variable — with Mars opposing Neptune and Saturn, bringing intense thunderclouds, with a side of obscuring fog. If you’ve been feeling both agitated and confused, you’re not alone.

The temptation to retreat into the Hermit’s cave is strong — but if we’re hiding in there out of avoidance rather than a true desire for self understanding and knowledge, we’ll miss out on the rainbow rewards that come after the storms pass.

Shadow work is again highlighted with this lunation — especially as we sort through everything that came to light during this heavy Mercury retrograde and Martian double opposition.

Everyone’s s**t seems to be coming UP — and if choosing to ignore it, or think your s**t doesn’t stink too, only results in isolation and wallowing in the mire.

When Mercury stations direct (on the 11th!), we’ll have the chance to clear the air, and see what flotsam and emotional bracken the tides left to dry on the shore. Pluto stations opposite Mercury, calling for hard looks, real talk, and uncomfortable truths that may be unpleasant to grapple with — but ultimately worth it.

I’m loving the conversations that are happening all around me about how inconvenient it is to be in community with others, and the acknowledgment that this s**t can be really hard work.

I feel like this moon is giving us a prime opportunity to recommit ourselves to looking within, facing our old patterns and fears — and then taking that awareness back to the village.

This full moon in Aquarius asks us to consider how future communities could function differently.

What does it look like to co-create rituals and altars to repair, reciprocity, and receiving grace?

What could our societies look like if they were build on the idea that there’s enough for everyone, rather than scarcity and resource hoarding?

What would our communities look like if we had town squares where restorative justice occurred, rather than virtual pillories and dogpiles of shaming and shunning?

It’s literally up to us to do the inner work, and then to put it into practice in our lives and relationships. Learning to look within and be alone with yourself is essential — but there’s only so much that can happen in isolation.

Recognize when it’s time to come out of the cave and return to the village to share what you’ve gleaned during your time the dark.

A lot can change overnight, and trust that there’s sunshine after the storms clear — but that’s hard to know if you’re still deep in the Hermit’s cavern.

There’s a time to go in, and a time to emerge. Let the moon be your guide, and also your alarm clock — when her beams are bright, it’s time. So, NOW!

There’s room to relax into it all, find ease, and respond with trust as Venus and Jupiter waltz together in nurturing Cancer. It doesn’t all have to be hard and grueling growth work — we can lean into pleasure and softness too, and trust in what blossoms in acceptance, listening, and healing.

We will be talking about all this and more this evening, so if this resonates with you, then I really hope you’ll join the conversation for the IG live Aquarian Full Moon tarot broadcast TONIGHT (Saturday evening — 8/9) around 9:30pm CST! And until then, please enjoy some Aquarian Full Moon flavored memes and imagery, as a little treat.

I don’t always give a ton of attention to Mercury going retrograde, mostly because it happens three (sometimes four!) times a year. But because I do get asked about it so often, I want to take a minute to share about how I work with this potentially chaotic and often disruptive transit…

The thing to remember is, Mercury Retrograde is a regular occurrence, and doesn’t have to be the cataclysmic, groan-inducing event it’s often made out as.

That being said, sometimes a Mercury Retrograde cycle can really throw us for a loop… I’ve definitely experienced some that were particularly wild — where the technical glitches and weird electrical snafus were popping off right and left to an… excessive degree.

This transit can be totally frustrating, but even when I’m completely at my wit’s end in dealing with Mercury’s mischief, I try to trust that there is method in this madness, and lessons hidden within all the tangles and snafus for us…

And I have to admit the irony in writing about Mercury retrograde as this one began, with such an open and accepting attitude… Like, I HAD to know that good ol’ Hermes was gonna extra mess with me this go round, right?

I mean… I gotta say, it’s been one of the rougher versions of this transit that I’ve experienced in a while (car troubles, jury duty, missing packages, scheduling issues, contract craziness, and major miscommunications…OH MY!)

But also? It’s given me a lot of opportunity to clear the air, edit, go back over things, recognize the power of double checking, and ultimately…just try to learn more patience for myself and others. It’s been a real journey, y’all.

How’s your experience been? I’d love to know if I’m not alone on this chaotic ride! Are you SO relieved that this retrograde finally freakin’ ENDS on August 11th? I honestly cannot wait. Get Mercury outta the damn microwave!!!

08/07/2025

This week is the anniversary of my mom’s death. She died when I was seven years old, and it took me a really long time to trust that it was safe (and necessary) to grieve and cry for her. The Ten of Swords has been one of my biggest teachers in this journey…

I wrote about my experiences with this card, in hopes that it might help some of you work with it in a deeper way — I promise that it’s about more than just feeling s**tty! Here’s an excerpt:

Sometimes you just have to lay face down on the bathroom floor and cry. I mean really cry. Big heaving sobs that sound more animal than human, the kind of crying hardly anyone ever does in the movies.

It’s not cinematic weeping: there are no single teardrops sliding gracefully down your perfectly made-up cheek — no composure, and definitely no delicacy. 

Oh no – we’re talking a serious deep weep: a real red-faced, snotty-nosed ugly bawl, curled up in fetal position, clutching the bath mat and a roll of toilet paper for dear life.

I mean completely out of control banshee wailing, sobbing so hard you can’t breathe, so hard you think you might throw up, or burst a blood vessel in your eye (I have actually done this before, a few times.) 

This is the kind of crying where a part of you wonders if your neighbors might get concerned and call the police, where you’re hoarse all the next day from screaming out your pain.

That’s the place the Ten of Swords wants to take you. Sounds pretty terrible, doesn’t it? Oh, and it is. 

It’s an awful place to be, that lowest point, that nadir – and yet, it’s necessary to go there sometimes, and to go there completely, utterly.

To completely surrender yourself to your sadness — to relinquish all control, lay it all down on the ground and just give your grief a sound. ..

07/31/2025

Blessed Lammas + Lughnasadh, dear ones 🌞🌾🍞 We’re arriving the cross-quarter moment between Summer Solstice and Autumn Equinox — the first harvest, and another sacred turning on the Wheel of the Year.

Lammas (from “loaf-mass”) and Lughnasadh (LOO-na-sa) were once celebrated with fairs, feasts, and fires. In ancient Celtic lands, people offered the first fruits of the grain harvest back to the Earth in gratitude: consecrating the loaves, honoring the grain goddesses and solar spirits, and dancing in the golden light of late summer.

This is a time of both abundance and impermanence. We’re gathering the sweetness of what’s ripened, even as we begin to feel the quiet hush of the darker season on the horizon… Life and are death braided together in every sheaf of wheat and every slowly crisping blade of grass, and there’s joy and sacrifice in equal measure.

Summer has peaked, and now is thinking of ending — but I’ve barely gone swimming (like at ALL, wtf?), and all the lazy lounging and dabbly art projects I imagined I’d have time for when I returned from my travels are somehow buried under a never ending to-do list…

There’s still a LOT I want to harvest from these summer months, and Lammas tends to awaken a little urgency in me to go soak up the sun, dance while I may, and eat much more fruit (while it’s good and juicy!)

Maybe I’m not alone in feeling like I want to sit down with what I’ve sown since springtime, and seeing what there is to be gathered now... And contemplating what sacrifices I’m willing to make, in order to stretch and grow into more fertile fields!

Lammas is a time of not only joyous frolicking, but also introspective reflection and discernment upon the sacrifices we must make of ourselves for continued growth and prosperity. What are you reaping from your gardens (literal or symbolic) in these late summer days? How are you savoring the good things you’re cultivating?

✨ I have a few openings for tarot readings this weekend — including Lammas proper (Friday August 1st and Saturday, August 2nd!) Want to call in some abundance and magic for the first harvest? Let’s see what’s ripening in your world. ✨

May this Lammastide provide a still moment to savor what’s really good, to share what we can, and give thanks for the nourishment that sustains us, physically, spiritually, and creatively!

May our hearts feel full and our harvests holy.

07/31/2025

Our fundraiser at the Carousel Lounge benefitting Brianna / was a great time, and a big success! We raised $558 dollars through the raffle, combined with $400 from your donations from the last full moon live — which along with everyone kindly contributed to her GoFundMe, is definitely helping her get back on her feet, and begin to rebuild her life again. I want to extend huge gratitude to all the musicians who serenaded us that night — and to all the businesses that contributed amazing prizes to the raffle, and to everyone who came out to support and enjoy!

You may not know this about me, but… Putting on events and parties used to be a huge part of my life, for a very long time. It had been so long since I’d done anything like that, I was feeling pretty rusty, and definitely wondered if I’d be able to pull it off, if anyone would actually come, and if we’d be able to raise any money at all… You never really know how it’s going to turn out, especially when the event first starts, and people are just slowly trickling in.

I always think of throwing gatherings like this as casting a magical spell: you assemble all the necessary ingredients for the enchantment to happen, but until that ethereal violet smoke starts swirling in the center of your circle, you don’t really know if the spirits will deign to come through. But once it really starts to begin… There’s no stopping it!

I ended up working the door, selling raffle tickets, AND announcing the raffle winners, and it was only when I got home many hours later that I realized I never took a moment to even go p*e, OR take photos of some of the amazingly dressed folks who came out to support!

Like, there was a whole krewe of full-on PIRATES who boarded our vessel (but luckily were more interested in swilling rum and winning raffle prizes than pillaging our b***y!) There was an amazing woman (who I think is a Carousel Lounge regular), who brings a wagon filled with goodies, and her adorable doggie named Ciaobella. They set up at one of the booths and trade tipples for tips. Oh, and the cute people who looked like they’d just come from a rave, complete with light-up dealie-boppers and big stompy boots? So freakin’ CUTE!

The whole evening was a marvelous, slightly chaotic twirl of soaring vocals from Tasche/ + Hailey / + Deidre / .mp3 (all of whom it was so wonderful to see play and visit with!), barking dogs running amok (Lula + Ciaobella!), the amused old-timers holding down the bar, and Yvette, the precious bar-maid, who took such good care of us all night. Major gratitude also to Randi / — who expertly held down the pinball raffle table and helped sell tickets, and to my friend Alex / for running sound for the musicians!

I loved having the opportunity to work my particular magic that involves curating a unique potion comprised of unusual and precious people with rare talents, along with choosing a unique venue like the Carousel, which really is a true Austin treasure — because there’s nowhere else like it!

If you’ve never seen bands play at that tiny circus themed dive bar that only serves beer and wine, has a pink papier mache elephant on stage, a working pay phone booth (topped with a tiger named “Clawdette”, an actual carousel behind the bar, and murals of clowns, arcobats, and Hank Williams on the walls, well — you’re totally missing out!

The very best parts of the night, though? Getting to see a big smile on Brianna’s face as she took a break from mucking through the wreckage of her flooded home to listen to some beautiful music, and meet some new friends — and then getting to put a nice big wad of cash into her hands and her PayPal account, knowing it will go towards creating more stability, ease, and joy in her life.

Bonus joy glimmers — seeing folks swaying and dancing to the bands, getting to hug on so many people I adore (either for the first time, or the first time in way too long!), and getting to fall into bed in the wee hours knowing all that hard work had been worth it!

The magic came through — because the magic truly is… COMMUNITY! It can’t happen without us showing up for one another, making an effort, getting off our sofas, and choosing to make some beauty occur — and all for a good cause, and to help out someone really special in need.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed to making this wonderful night what it was! I don’t know when I’ll have the energy to do such a thing again, but I won’t forget how lovely and joyous it all way for a long, long time. ♥️🌹🙏🏻🥰 🎪🎡🤹🏻‍♀️🎠

Time to make your grand entrance, Leos 🦁

Artist (and Leo!) Florine Stettheimer was known for her vibrant paintings, poetry, and theatrical costume designs—like this one for a character in her imagined ballet. Leos thrive on creative expression, whether through performance, fashion, art, or any outlet that lets them lead with confidence and style.

“My attitude is one of Love/ is all adoration/ for all the fringes/ all the color/ all tinsel creation.”—Florine Stettheimer

Happy Leo season!

07/24/2025

NEW MOON IN LEO TAROT: Coming out of the watery morass of Cancer Season into the blaze of Leo’s razzle dazzle (SHOW TIME BABY!) can throw us for a loop, emotionally and energetically.

This new moon is giving us the opportunity to dry out the mud from last month, and begin to sweep away wherever we may have gotten mired in over-giving, codependency, and feeling other people’s stuff for them.

It’s true that Leo centers the ego, but that doesn’t have to be a negative thing, necessarily. It is through understanding and caretaking our own self-hood (who were are in these bodies, this incarnation, this version of ourselves in this timeline) that we can show up for the sacred reciprocity.

It’s impossible to serve from an empty cup, and yet all too often, we embody the archetype of the Queen of Cups at her most dysfunctional (especially in Cancer season), when we try to launch into savior mode, and go without the self-care that we need, or refuse to ask for help from others. I’ve had to confront this lesson very recently, and it has been a humbling wake up call, for sure.

Self-abnegation isn’t a gift to anyone. Our suffering doesn’t lesson anyone else’s. When we try to come at taking care of others from a place of centering ourselves, the giving can become toxic, and even destructive (to ourselves and others) FAST.

I can remember (many) times where I threw myself into mutual aid efforts during disasters — forgetting to eat, staying glued to the news and social media, staying up all night running comms — and becoming a total menace while I was trying to be helpful… But because everything I was doing was rooted in trauma response, not wanting to feel my own feelings, and a big heap of unhealed woundedness — it wasn’t actually healthy.

I was lashing out at people for not doing enough, not saying enough, not caring enough. It fu**ed up a few friendships, and didn’t actually help anyone. I can have some compassion for that activated, confused version of myself. I’m still that person, some days — but I’m trying really, really hard to be more balanced about it all, now.

This time around (with the catastrophic flooding) in Texas, I’m trying to shift and rebalance that — to ask for lots of helps with my fundraising efforts, make sure I’m eating and sleeping well, unplugging from media and news, and not forcing myself to read triggering accounts of rising waters that bring up a lot a Katrina PTSD for me. I’ve been saying to myself at the end of every night, “I can only do what I can do.”

This is hard when it feels like I haven’t done enough, but it’s late, and I still need to go to bed — or when there’s one more thing to add to the to-do list, or I can’t remember when I last had a nice soak in the bathtub.

It’s extra tough when I take on the story that everyone’s depending on me, and that if we don’t get a big enough crowd at the fundraiser show, or not enough raffle tickets sold, that I will have failed… But — I can only do what I can do. And I have to trust that it’s enough, and turn towards my own needs for rest, gentleness, and self-acceptance, as much as possible.

I had to ask for some help after some unlucky turns with my old car, and elderly animals got super expensive all at once — and found that it’s getting easier to say, hey — here are some ways you can support me too, so that I can keep supporting others, with a nice full cup.

Does anyone else relate to this? I feel like I’m probably not alone in trying to shift out of these unsustainable ways of being…

Leo’s physicality brings up the wisdom of the body, and recognizing that our human forms need resourcing. We simply do not GO without food, water, and rest.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge the immense privilege that we have, to have (mostly) reliable access to these things — especially while there are so many people in G4za, and across the world suffering and starving to death. No one should ever be forced to wither away (or witness this happen to their children). Food should never be withheld from those who need it — for any reason.

The helplessness I know so many of us are feeling to be able to influence the homicidal governments who are causing this devastation is just hideous. I’m making the calls to my reps, and donating to the people on the ground who are there to help — but when even they can’t get aid through to their own staff members () who are also starving, you know things have gotten beyond dire.

It all feels like a pitiful drop in the bucket, I know. I’m seeing friends writing about how awful it feels to be cleaning out their fridges and finding wasted, molding food — knowing what plentiful and over-abundant access we all take for granted here, while others go without, and have less than nothing. It feels pretty gross to sit at a full table, knowing that so many people (and children) are dying of hunger, at this very moment. And knowing how preventable their deaths are.

If you’re struggling with the grief of it all, please ask for help, for support, and for witnessing. Do what you can, but please do not neglect yourself. The Grief Circle is coming soon, I promise — I just gotta get through this upcoming fundraiser (please come out!) and then I’ll send word to everyone who needs it.

Take care of your precious bodies, and your beautiful hearts. Ask for hugs, touch, sweetness. Make a good dinner, and acknowledge how blessed you are to eat it. Savor every bite, knowing that nourishment is giving you strength and grounding to keep fighting the good fights, on all the fronts where we’re being asked to step up right now.

Please don’t burn out, babes. Take it from me — it takes a lot more time to build that strength back up from the rubble. If the old structures are going to fall, let’s make sure they don’t take us out in the process, okay? Stay rooted in the knowledge that we have to be part of the re-balancing — and that means keeping our cups full, our bodies fueled and rested, our hearts receiving, and our spirits full of sustainable compassion.

We will be talking about all this and more this evening, so if this resonates with you, then I really hope you’ll join the conversation for the IG live Leo New Moon tarot broadcast TONIGHT (Thursday evening — 7/24) around 8pm CST! And until then, please enjoy some Leo Season flavored memes and imagery, as a little treat.

If you’d like to support me in supporting others, all tips and donations from this lunation’s writings and live video will go directly to helping out my friend Brianna, a trans elder in my community who just lost everything (her home of 50 years, and a lifetime of artwork and belongings) in the recent floods here. She escaped with her life and little dog, and now needs to rebuild.

Send Venmo to -Polacheck and I will make sure it all goes to her! And if you want to help me out (so I can keep helping out!) please BOOK A READING! I’d love to be a guide to you through these tumultuous times…

07/24/2025

The Tower has been coming up quite a lot lately — in the readings I’ve been giving for friends and clients, and in so many other ways during these fraught and frightening times.

It’s hard not to be freaked out when this card comes up in a reading, or with our daily tarot pulls — because it feels like such an intense portent of DOOM! 

The Tower is necessary and forceful change — and for those of us who tend to be resistant to things shifting (even when they desperately need to), this kind of upheaval can feel totally brutal. 

It can take a looooong time before the dust settles, and we’re able to see that the Tower finally falling was the only way that anything was ever going to change in the first place. 

The Tower is the fault line that results in massive shakeups. It is the stagnant, roiling, energy before a crazy thunderstorm rolls in — and in my case, it was a literal hurricane (Katrina 20 years ago next month), that changed my life completely.

That intense storm literally blew my roof off — which is exactly what is depicted in the Tower card. 

At that time, I was cruising into my Saturn return, totally lost and aimless, mired in self-destructive habits and relationships, and utterly without direction. 

I knew that I needed to move out of New Orleans, if I was ever going to change anything in my life — but taking any action on that awareness felt pretty terrifying. I was totally stuck.

Paralyzed by the idea of moving forward, but unable to make any positive motions in the swamp of indecision and confusion that city had become for me…

✨ RAFFLE FOR FLOOD RELIEF: HELP BRIANNA REBUILD ✨
We’ve put together an incredible raffle filled with treasures from local artists and makers — and 100% of proceeds go directly to trans elder artist Brianna Keeper / , who recently lost everything in the devastating floods in Hunt, Texas.

Brianna’s riverfront home (where she cared for both her aging parents before they passed) was supposed to be her forever place. When the water rose with terrifying force, she barely escaped with her life and her little dog, Fidel.

She also saved her neighbors by waking them up in the early hours before dawn, making sure they got to safety. The river cracked her pier-and-beam home in half and rose over five feet high. Now, volunteers are helping gut the house, trying to salvage what little is left of her possessions and artwork.

Brianna is 68 years old, an artist, gardener, and boat builder. Starting over at any age is hard, but starting from scratch in your late 60s is especially overwhelming. This is where we come in.

💫 Come to our benefit concert + raffle on Saturday, July 26th at the Carousel Lounge (9pm–1am) and help us raise funds to support Brianna’s recovery. If you can’t attend, you can also donate via the GoFundMe (link isin my linktree!)

07/23/2025

It’s officially Leo Season, darlings! Time to bask in the sun and embrace the physicality of our beings, the regal glow of our own warm souls, and to practice opening our hearts so wide we can let our shine be seen from outer space…!

This is a perfect time to explore creativity, express ourselves (cue Madonna, the Queen of all Leos!), and remembering that it’s all just play.

The leonine approach to any kind of art is inherently PLAYFUL — think of lion cubs wrestling and biting each other’s ears…It’s all practice for later, and not to be taken tooooo seriously!

No matter how regal the Leo soul is, there’s also room to be in the rec-room of our own human bodies, and get a lil silly. It can be so helpful to let ourselves roll around on the floor with our art mediums, and treat it a bit like improv — so that means… Go write those s**tty first drafts, sketch out the rough stuff, make things that are imperfect or even ugly.

Authenticity is rooted in showing up as our full selves — sweaty, ruffled manes, big messy feelings and all. It requires an immense amount of courage to move through the world from that place of self-acceptance, vulnerability, and awareness of our own worth (even with all our flaws and foibles!)

We’re going to have a playground to practice all this from this Leo New Moon (July 24) and the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 10 — so get ready to dance in the balance between being raw and real and keeping some sunlight in your heart.

Not the easiest thing to do when the world is so full of grief and suffering, I know — but that’s part of the challenge, right? Leo energy is heart centered — keeping the doors of our ribcages wide open to love, to feeling alllll the feelings, and to transmuting the dark lead of our sorrow into golden waves of compassion.

Use this season to tap into letting your self-expression feel fun and playful again, embracing your rough edges, making room for levity, and nurturing your inner child so that part of you can feel brave enough to let your ROAR of life-force energy be felt across the savannah! Spend time in sun worship (with protection and SPF++++ please tho) and tonglen meditation.

Let’s dance, sing, paint, sculpt, sashay, love, weep, and feel our way through to the end of this surreal summer. It’s only 61 more days until the Autumnal Equinox, Virgo Season, and umm those serious, exacting back-to-school/dark-academia vibes Fall brings, so let’s make the most of this golden, ripening time. Enjoy it as much as possible, because the harvest will be upon us before we know it!
