How devoted to life are we willing and available to be? How much pleasure are we willing to embrace? It’s a BIG month, filled with lots of birth/bloom energy, while simultaneously holding a lot of space for ease, joy, and non-doing. 

I know I have spoken ad nauseam about my adoration of lilacs in various places in my work (see above for one of many), but they really are so special to me. They come and go so quickly, and I really do love to drink them in while I can. It feels like a death meditation that I am very devoted to: drink in the flowers while they are in bloom, show up and live while you can, as you can. This is very similar to what we will be experiencing and invited into in the month of May.

Reading for the month ahead:

Card for the month ahead: King of Wands

Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Two of Pentacles

How can we best work with it?: Seven of Wands

What is calling for our attention: Nine of Pentacles

Aligned action we are invited to take, if any: Seven of Cups

A message from our Guides: Nine of Cups

Support we can call on: The World and Six of Swords

Pisces season is such a powerful time to examine the material we carry that lives under the surface, under the waves, and outside of the realm of the unseen. It also could not be a more perfect time to dive into a rich conversation with the brilliant and beautiful Lisa Olivera -- it is such an honor to have her on the podcast today!

Lisa Olivera is a writer, therapist, and creative who shares work centered around radical acceptance, cultivating compassion, and integrating our stories and full humanity. Her work has been featured in many publications including The New York Times, Good Morning America, The Guardian, and The Huffington Post. Lisa writes the weekly newsletter Human Stuff, facilitates writing workshops, and sees clients in her private practice. Her first book, Already Enough, was published by Simon and Schuster in early 2022; her forthcoming book, When the Ache Remains, will be released in 2026. 

Today on TFTWS, Lisa and I discuss: 

• Finding the both/and in horrifying times -- how might we be more available to joy amid sorrow, and keep our heart open in unthinkable times? 
• How we can tend to the aches that don't go away, don't resolve, or don't wrap themselves up neatly
• Lisa's origin story, and how she came to the helping work she so brilliantly offers
• Her forthcoming book, When the Ache Remains!

March wants us to remember that things are not always as they seem. It is so important in these moments to remember that nothing is permanent; nothing is forever. 

Our theme for the month ahead is Take Heart. This month, it will be so important to take heart, to stay closely tethered and connected to that deep, wise part of us. It will be so important to retreat, take space for ourselves, get regular reminders of the truths that we need reflected back to us. It will be so important to reach and make space for friends, belly laughs, communal dinners, peaceful moments. 

This particular month is a very strong cycle of deep night, and in that night, we are going to be called to be persistent about regularly lighting the candles, torches, hearth fires, and lanterns that warm and help us to see more clearly. What makes you feel comforted and soothed? What helps you to be peaceful? What helps you to remember truth when things feel full of illusion and permanence in ways we don’t prefer? 

Card for the month ahead: Page of Cups

Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Five of Wands

How can we best work with the energy of the month?: Three of Swords

What can we devote our attention to this month?: The Sun

Aligned action to take, if any: Three of Cups

Message from Guides: Tethered One & Queen of Cups

February is a beautiful, transformative portal, one that has the capacity to truly change and alter aspects of our lives that have been stuck and unyielding for so long. 

The theme for our month ahead is From Knot to Straight Rope. In February, we will likely be confronted with some of our deep "knots," ones that have felt perpetually twisted, confused, and tricky. We actually have the potential to unknot them this month, and smooth them into something new. Once that has shifted, what could be possible for us? The options are endless. 

Between the cards for our month ahead, the energy of the upcoming Eclipses, and the full might of this 1/10/19 year going into full effect, February is gearing up to be a truly profound experience of deep change for us, personally and collectively. 

Card for the month ahead: Eight of Swords

Feel/vibe of the month ahead: Ace of Pentacles

How can we best work with the energy of the month ahead?: Ace of Wands, Rx

What are we being invited to pay attention to?: Three of Wands

2026 is finally here! We made it 🙌

Our theme for January of 2026 is Brand New Day. 

That's an incredibly accurate way to frame this cycle. With the dawning of this new year, it is truly a paradigm shift, and a pivot into a whole host of newfound energies and invitations. This is largely true of all new year thresholds, but it is especially true in 2026. 

We're working with some powerhouse energies this month, all to support our shift into this new paradigm. What cannot come with us into 2026? January will be the time to really evaluate that, and to trust the process as new doors open, and old ones close.

PODCAST ART: Rachelle Sartini Garner

Honoring and acknowledging that this podcast episode was recorded on the unceded land of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, currently called Portland, OR, with the deepest respect to the Kalapuya Tribe, Cowlitz Tribe, and Atfalati Tribe.

Want a full deep dive on 2026? Check out Lindsay's offering, The Threshold, a channeled download for 2026 and your year ahead! 

In this Year Ahead episode, Lindsay Mack and Jeff Hinshaw explore 2026 as a powerful turning point after several liminal years. They reflect on 2025 as deeply Piscean, shaped by Neptune’s long journey through Pisces since 2011 and marked by the year of the Hermit and themes of grief, waiting, and dissolution. In contrast, 2026 emerges as a universal 1 year, aligned with the Magician, Wheel of Fortune, and Sun in the Tarot, signaling initiation, clarity, momentum, and a return to spiritual authority.

Astrologically, the conversation centers on a major generational shift as both Neptune and Saturn leave Pisces and enter Aries, ushering in a fire-driven era focused on action, identity, and leadership. A pivotal week in February sets the tone, with Saturn entering Aries, an Aquarius New Moon solar eclipse aligned with the Chinese New Year, Year of the Fire Horse, and the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. Lindsay and Jeff frame this as the birth of a new cycle around imaginative leadership and embodied spiritual presence. Jupiter’s move into Leo later in the year further amplifies themes of creativity, joy, and heart-led visibility.

Through looking at Tarot themes, the hosts contrast 2025’s archetypes of patience and preparation (the Hermit and Knight of Pentacles) with 2026’s initiators: the Knight of Wands, Magician, Wheel, and Sun. Drawing on personal reflections from a previous Magician/Sun year in 2017, they explore how these cycles often launch projects and identities that shape an entire nine-year arc. The episode weaves in the importance of working with grief—rather than bypassing it—by transforming it into tools, talismans, and creative practices.

Ultimately, this episode positions 2026 as a year of reclaiming agency and consciously redefining relationships to spirit, community, and collaboration. With the reminder to “allow your mind to be the wand,” listeners are invited to stay discerning, clear unhelpful patterns, and choose collaborations that honor mutual sovereignty and growth. Rather than waiting for permission, 2026 is offered as a true “choose your own adventure” year, one that asks: what is your tool, what is your name, and who are you ready to become?

We made it! The last month of 2025 is here! 

We are already on that sacred energetic bridge, one that guides us from one year to another -- this particular December is giving us so much to play and work with in order to be ready to greet 2026 with open arms. 

The theme of the month ahead is Compost. 

What unfinished business remains active and present in your life? What old cords need to be cut? What have you been hanging onto, or dragging your feet on for fear of messing up, making a mistake, or making the wrong choice? This month will be here to help you to clear the deck and start anew, and move into the new year with a clean and ready slate. 

Our Soul Tarot Reading for December
