  110: When Magic Stops Being a Theory

  Aug 28, 202617 minS5

  When Magic Stops Being a Theory Somewhere between 38 and 50, most of us get hit by something we never saw coming. You feel like a stranger in your own life. You're crying in the grocery store parking lot and you don't know why. Everyone tells you to expect the truck that hits you in midlife. Nobody warns you about what comes through the hole it makes. This week I'm introducing a word I made up because we need it. midstery (MID-stuh-ree), noun. Midlife, mystery. A midstery is when magic stops being just a theory. Something magical happens in your own life, it stops being a thing that happens to other people, and you start running toward it, fascinated. Each one permanently widens what you're able to notice. Enough of them add up to an awakening. And they almost never show up on a retreat in Sedona. They show up while you're loading the dishwasher. In this episode: Why busyness is the most rewarded numbing agent we have, and what it's covering up What happens somewhere between 38 and 50 that nobody prepares you for Midstery: the word for what comes after the truck Why the women in your life don't think they have intuition, and the history that taught them that What your brain does with the eleven million pieces of information your senses hand it every second Why federal agents are worse at spotting a liar than you are My theory about why true crime is a woman's genre One small thing to do this week that will make it very hard to keep calling yourself unintuitive Chapters: 00:00 Purpose and Pain 00:55 The Busy Trap 02:38 Midstery 07:41 Intuition and Evidence 14:03 Practice Your Intuition Doing the case file?

  109: Cosmic Energy Report: Virgo Season 2026

  Aug 21, 20261h 31mS5

  Virgo Season Cosmic Energy Report | Aug 23 - Sep 22 2026 Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs. Virgo Season: The Pisces lunar eclipse that will likely blow up your plans, Venus settling into Scorpio for an unusually long stay, Uranus stationing retrograde in Gemini, and the grief nobody is expecting during an earth sign transit. Emily and Andrea come off a Leo season that certainly dragged a lot of drama out of unexpected places for people, and get into where that leaves us now that Virgo's get-your-house-in-order energy has arrived. We get into what it costs to put down something that was perfectly fine, why that grief isn't proof you chose wrong, and how Andrea's pulls, from the Seven of Wands to the Devil to the Hanged Man, keep circling one message: stop waiting for the plan to be perfect and plant the seed anyway. In this episode: Final Pisces eclipse Venus into Scorpio ahead of this fall's eclipse The unusual feeling of sadness and grief likely with this Virgo season Tarot pulls for Virgo season: Five of Cups, King of Cups, Seven of Wands, The Devil, 10 of Pentacles, The Hanged Man A look ahead to Libra season 00:00 Welcome Back Duo 00:13 Leo Season Debrief 02:01 Drama And Fire 04:55 Barbault Basket Shifts 07:05 Small Steps Big Change 11:20 Mars In Cancer Warning 12:37 Virgo Season Explained 17:11 Virgo Vibes And Nodes 20:40 Tarot Five Of Cups 26:29 Virgo Transits Preview 31:06 Eclipse Cards Pulled 35:51 Pisces Eclipse Guidance 41:01 Boundaries Seven Wands 44:47 Jupiter Trine Saturn 45:37 No Shortcuts Allowed 47:03 Mars Saturn Gut Check 48:46 Curiosity Over Control 50:46 Devil Card Patterns 55:43 Venus Scorpio Shift 01:02:26 Ten Of Pentacles Rewards 01:08:25 Midmonth Power Moves 01:13:50 Hanged Man Pause 01:18:41 Equinox Boundaries Reset 01:24:10 Updates And Farewell Connect with Emily Bookings & Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://emilyandherstars.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Instagram & Threads: @emilyandherstars Forty years of reading energy means I'm someone who can see you, someone who's not handing you a program, but proximity: my brain, my intuition, my pattern recognition, right there with yours.

  What's Me, Versus the Me I Think I'm Supposed to Be

  Aug 12, 202617 min

  Ten years in business as a psychic medium and astrologer. Countless client conversations. And it always comes down to the same question. In this episode, Emily traces the invisible rulebook most of us are unknowingly living by... the self-doubt, the midlife unraveling that starts earlier than you'd think, and the words we've inherited that were rigged against women from their very roots. "Virtue," from the Latin vir, meaning man. This is also the episode marking a return. Ten years in, Emily is done hiding the real, raw, unfiltered version of herself... and this podcast is refreshing right along with her. If you've ever felt like everyone else got the instruction manual except you, start here. Show Notes: 00:00 – Why she's rebranding the podcast after 10 years as a psychic medium and astrologer 00:31 – Midlife, purpose, and the fear of being truly seen 02:07 – How trauma, injustice, and self-doubt keep us stuck 03:54 – E.O. Wilson's "Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, godlike technology" 05:16 – The word "virtue" and how morality was built to exclude women 07:20 – Ancient female warriors and the myths we've inherited 09:28 – Disconnection from our own intuition 10:47 – Choosing to stop hiding her real, raw self 11:26 – What a "soul audit" is and why she wishes she'd had one sooner 12:28 – Feeling unfulfilled despite doing everything "right" 14:14 – Everyone has access to their own intuition — how to start developing it 15:21 – Closing invitation to reach out if you feel a calling If you've ever felt like everyone else got the instruction manual except you, start here.

  Cosmic Energy Report: June - December 2026

  Jun 20, 20261h 57mS5

  Cancer and Beyond Cosmic Energy Report | June - December 2026 Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs. In this episode: Emily and Andrea map the entire back half of 2026, Cancer season all the way through winter solstice, in one sitting. Fair warning, this is a long one. Take it in pieces if you need to. Bookmark it. Come back to it every month like a lot of our listeners already do, but here's why you can't skip it! On July 3rd and 4th, Mars meets Uranus in Gemini for the first time since the 1940s. The last time these two collided in this sign, it was six days before the atomic bomb was dropped. The time before that, it was the literal day the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The time before that, it was the day the Continental Congress moved to declare independence from Britain. Emily spent two days trying to write about this one because it's loud and explosive energy. Layered right on top of it is something called Barbault's Basket, a rare alignment between Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The French astrologer Andre Barbault, who predicted the 2020 pandemic, the 2008 financial crash, and the fall of the Soviet Union, thought this basket configuration was a turning point for humanity. It's forming now. Emily walks through exactly what it means and why she's choosing hope over fear on this one. And that's just July. From there, the seasons unfold like a epic 3 part movie. August asks you to grieve amidst eclipses and September encourages you to sit on your throne of divine sovereignty. Things get tricky when October sharpens your tongue and boundary work. Clarity is kindness, even when it's a little brutal. November pulls the community back in around you, right when you need it most. December finally, finally lets you breathe, no retrogrades over the holidays for the first time in what feels like forever. Andrea pulled tarot for every single month and Emily mapped every major astrological transit. Together they bring you the most comprehensive look at the last half of 2026. If you only listen to one Cosmic Energy Report this year, make it this one. You're going to want the full picture before July hits! 0:00 – Welcome & Gemini Season Recap 10:00 – Cancer Season: Themes & Meaning 11:38 – Cancer Season Tarot Cards 26:38 – July Astrology 40:38 – Barbault's Basket: The Rare Outer Planet Configuration 51:13 – August and Eclipses 59:06 – September Emotions 1:15:54 – October Retrogrades 1:28:12 – November 1:34:41 – December 1:51:19 – Closing Thoughts & Resources Connect with Emily Bookings & Website: https://www.emilyandherstars.com/tellme Join the Cards + Cosmos Club: https://www.emilyandherstars.com/shop/p/2025cardscosmos Newsletter + Calendar Download: https://emilyandherstars.myflodesk.com/newslettersignup Instagram & Threads: @emilyandherstars
