We read the Knight of Cups for love, Justice for money, and the Queen of Swords for guidance, linking courage in intimacy with ethical spending and clear boundaries. We share updates on Jez’s new podcasts for Immaterial World and A Most Interesting Monster, Paulina’s new herbal soap line.

Your Reading

• choosing when to fight for love versus walk away
• Knight of Cups as a journey through fear toward intimacy
• Justice as money ethics, boycotts, and mutual aid
• silence as a choice with real outcomes
• Queen of Swords as firm boundaries and clear speech
• logic and intuition working together for balance
• announcements on new show feeds and where to follow
• Paulina’s soaps and a new series, Everything Is a Ritual
