  • Astrology and Tarot from two grounded Earth signs! We're here to show you the energies so you can embrace them in your own way!

    In this episode of the Cosmic Energy Report, Emily from Emily and Her Stars and Things That Make You Go Woo and Andrea from Spirit Crumbs and Concrete and Crystals, dive into the Sagittarius season. They discuss the transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius, the dynamic between collective and individual energies, and how the season affects personal and political spheres.

    This episode navigates the delicate transition from Scorpio energy to the adventurous spirit of Sagittarius, highlighting the sense of limbo between these astrological seasons. As both collective and individual energies shift, Andrea and Emily explore the profound impacts on personal lives and the broader political climate. They open up about recording in this post-election energy, sharing personal experiences of being in a liminal space filled with intense emotions. The discussion moves through the themes of collective grief and adjustment, where both hosts talk about experiencing a strong sense of knowing and connection, even amidst technical glitches and setbacks from their long-term outlook episode recorded in June. Our listeners are encouraged to embrace the importance of self-care and community support during these transitional times and emphasize the need to hold and share individual light within the collective flame, ensuring voices remain strong post-election. Emily and Andrea stress the importance of maintaining momentum, especially regarding social and political engagement.

    We also unpack the astrological influences for November AND ALL OF December, providing listeners with detailed insights on how to navigate the upcoming energies. Emily explains significant planetary movements, such as Pluto exiting Capricorn, and discusses the importance of remaining grounded and flexible during turbulent astrological transits. Andrea touches on the themes of creative expression, the power of art in processing emotions, and the significance of leaning into daily tasks and chores for grounding. Tarot insights offered during the episode highlight themes of collaboration, unexpected small victories, and practical tips for managing the chaotic energy of the holidays. The episode concludes with Andrea and Emily encouraging listeners to hold onto hope, stay connected to their creative and spiritual practices, and prepare for the transformative energies of the coming year

  • Aquarius will bring the powerful winds of change! It will be impossible not to overthink “Am I overthinking?” Maybe it’s time to embrace some technology to help your mind, like a task tracker or meditation app to help clear out the mental clutter. The Lunar New Year will welcome the Wood Dragon, urging us to embrace our originality and depart from the hum-drum that we’ve possibly settled for. The month continues with a mix of innovation, and self-reflection, urging you to stay flexible, trust your intuition, and find joy in creative expressions. The annual “Day of Challenges” tugs at what can be an otherwise friendly and expressive month. You’ll be pulled outside of your box, but so will everyone else. How they handle that energy is not your responsibility so take extra time to check in with your own emotions this month and help clear any blocks from your nervous system. The Virgo Full Moon on the 24th calls for a cosmic cleaning and promotes more self-compassion in your improvement journey.

  • For 2024, Emily and Andrea decided to break the year into two halves for our annual forecast. There is a lot of intense energy including the first eclipse season in the first 6 months of the year as we move from solstice to solstice and the days get longer. As a gift to you, we are saving the second half for later so this episode could be under two hours!

    We recap the latter part of 2023 and provide our forecast for the first half of 2024 using astrology, tarot, numerology, and the Chinese Zodiac. In numerology, 2023 was an introspective 7 year of re-calibration and spiritual exploration. 2024 is an 8 year, which offers karmic transformation, wisdom and growth as we harness our strength and independence to impact the collective.

    2+0+2+4=8

    To find your personal year number, add your birthday + the current year (not your birth year). Reduce the sum to a single digit if it isn’t already. For example, my birthday is January 4, so it would be:

    1+4+2+0+2+4=13 = 1+3=4

    Another example - September 23:

    9+2+3+2+0+2+4= 222+2=4

    One of the general themes for 2024 that we talked about was how art and technology serve as catalysts for change as we move into the Age of Aquarius. The power of humanity and uniting for a purpose will be impactful this year. We may experience a collective shift beginning with a sense of renewal in January, an important transition phase in February, personal power confrontations in March, a chaotic but introspective April, practical idea manifestation in May, and the need to maintain grounding amidst rapid thoughts and actions in June. It's a journey towards resolving long-standing issues and standing firm in the face of chaos.

    Numerology Book referenced: The Complete Book of Numerology by David A. Phillips

    In this podcast, spiritual guides Emily and Andrea provide comprehensive guidance through both a recap of the latter half of 2023 and a forecast for the first half of 2024 using astrology, tarot readings, numerology, and dream interpretations. 2023 marked an intense eight-year cycle of karmic transformation, offering opportunities for self-alignment, internal change, gaining wisdom and strength, and understanding how art and technology serve as catalysts for change. Transitioning to 2024 signifies a communal shift beginning with a sense of renewal in January, an important transition phase in February, personal power confrontations in March, a chaotic but introspective April, practical idea manifestation in May, and the need to maintain grounding amidst rapid thoughts and actions in June. It's a journey towards resolving long-standing issues and standing firm in the face of chaos.00:04 Introduction and Overview00:24 The Year Ahead: 2024 Forecast02:08 The Year of the Wood Dragon07:01 The Power of Numerology13:40 The Impact of Planetary Alignments16:02 The Significance of Chiron20:38 The Role of Pluto in 202428:16 Tarot Predictions for the Year35:42 The Energy of January36:28 The Energy of February40:24 Navigating the Pisces Season41:24 The Star Energy in March43:22 Manifestation and Purpose in Spring48:58 The Victory and Celebration of April59:06 The Energy of the Chariot in May01:06:54 The Hierophant Energy in June
