I can’t begin to tell you how spot on this reading is! I’m very impressed and amazed by how clearly my life circumstances were portrayed in the cards/charts and how all of the big issues were so lucidly addressed by you two.

You gals make such a great duo! It would have definitely been fun to be present during the reading.

I’m not sure where to begin in responding, as I’m a bit overwhelmed at the moment by the vast amount of enlightening information. Am going to have to relisten a few times. But yeah, the Taurean/2nd House stuff is definitely a really big thing for me right now. I have recently decided to go back to school in order to pursue a career in Counseling (the psychotherapy that Leisa mentioned…I also have a degree in psychology) and my wife and I have decided to move back to her native Australia. Truly a time of making responsible, Saturnian decisions, settling down, purusing a careet path, etc. I am pretty stoked to see these steps shown in the cards as we have been putting a lot of focus on this area of our lives, as my wife is also in her Saturn return. So all of this has been coming to a head. And yes Dena, meaningful work is very important for me, as is the need to be of service (mentioned in the 10th house-King of Swords.

I’ve studied a bit of astrology (in learning to interpret my own chart) but never considered much the Saturn-Moon conjuction. What Dena mentioned makes a great deal of sense and has provided me some greater insight into an element of my make-up that I hadn’t previously given much attention. Thanks for that!

And all of the Fire Energy + lack of water I find as quite a positive…last year must have been a water year. It feels good to be breaking free (the Sag) of the emotions and making progress towards life goals in a disciplined manner.

What else…hmm…so much was addressed! I think it was intuited that the Tower’s placement in the 11th House didn’t necessarily imply distastrous changes. I had a good feeling to this card as well and also coincidentally consider it my favorite of the Major Arcana. I see it as Superfast divine assistance in catapulting us along our life paths. Perhaps quite painful, but definitely explosive.

I will certainly have to watch the 8th House issues that were mentioned. An interesting side note is that when I first looked at the print outs before listening to the podcast, the Strength card stood out and I had a not-so pleasant feeling about it, but quickly rationalized it away by “Oh, but the Strength is such a great card…yadayada!”

I could go on and on about the vast number of connections this reading made for me, but suffice to say it was very helpful.

Thanks again. I really appreciate it and had a lot of fun listening!

Leisa, you and Dena DeCastro make an excellent team, and I look forward to her return.

Thank-you for yet another excellent podcast!

Loads of cool stuff going on in this Pod Cast! First things first – I love handouts, and will be printing out as soon as I send this post! I appreciate the fact that you have created a center diagram that can actually be purchased at Cafe Press – I am not an astrologer, but I sometimes use this astrology spread, so thsi will be very helpful. Also, I just this am agreed to swap readings next year with a friend who uses both Tarot and astrology, and her spread of preference is – ta da! – the astrological spread.

I really think that it is great that you placed your own deck outside of the deck being used for the reading. Comparative reading is a great way to learn, especially considering the esoteric background and presetnation of your deck.

I thoroughly enjoyed the interpretation that you and Dena did – I liked that you compared the elemental qualities of the house to those of the card that was drawn for it. As for those Cappies Moon’s – my Sun and Moon are both in Capricorn, which pretty much defines me!

Ginny’s take on Justice and Bill’s take on the Tarot certainly give us something to think about.

Blessings,
