In this episode, Britten records a collective reading, feeling called to pull cards for the Pisces eclipse. She begins with reflections on eclipse windows, Virgo-Pisces, refinement versus perfectionism, motherhood, and the practice of listening without projecting shame into the relationship.
-
The Pisces eclipse in Virgo season, and eclipse windows as times when everything can feel dilated, collective, personal, full of grief and wonder.
-
The Virgo-Pisces polarity, including the pleasures of refinement, process, editing, preparation, preservation, care, and discernment.
-
Motherhood, witnessing her daughter's young adulthood, and how unshaming helps Britten listen without going into a shame spiral.
-
The 10 of Wands and Five of Pentacles as "don't like" phases connected to scarcity, strain, hypervigilance, burnout, and endless efforting.
-
The King of Wands, Six of Swords, The Hermit, and Strength as invitations to hold your pose, travel from one way of being to another, listen one step at a time, and expand your capacity for the vulnerability of aliveness.
-
The overseer cards as teachers on belonging, aliveness, the Emergent No, alchemy, voice, shame, and the agency we have in our willingness to change.
Through this Pisces eclipse reading, Britten returns again and again to willingness: the agency we have in agreeing to change, updating old worldviews, and giving ourselves the generosity to always be learning how to be here.
