Cosmic Energy Report: Scorpio 2026
2026/10/23
Scorpio Season Cosmic Energy Report | Oct 22 – Nov 21 2026
Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs.
Scorpio Season: Venus retrograde backs into Libra before stationing direct on November 13th, Mercury meets the Sun in a cazimi, and Mars and Jupiter light a fire in Leo. Scorpio asks you to look at what you’ve been avoiding, and this month you won’t be able to look away.
Emily and Andrea check in after a Libra season that moved faster and hit deeper than expected, then dig into Scorpio’s real lessons: trust, vulnerability, emotional honesty, and shadow work. They talk about the patterns showing up for people right now, why boundaries start with yourself, and how to avoid the classic Scorpio traps of stinging first, oversharing, and ego fights. Andrea’s tarot pulls move from steadying yourself to taking decisive action, and the Death card shows up to remind everyone that something has to end before the new thing can start. Rest counts as part of the work this season, and so does getting offline and back into real community.
In this episode:
How Libra season sped up, plus bots getting exposed online and a newly discovered species
Self-boundaries and recognizing your own repeating patterns
What Scorpio really means: trust, power, and Scorpio placements in your chart
Venus in the underworld, Venus moving back into Libra, and Venus stationing direct
The Mercury cazimi, the new moon in Scorpio, and retrogrades ending

111: Cosmic Energy Report - Libra 2026
2026/09/22
Libra Season Cosmic Energy Report | Sept 22 - Oct 22 2026
Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs.
Libra Season: Venus goes retrograde in Scorpio on October 3rd, Mercury moves into Scorpio for over two months, and Pluto finally stations direct. Nice isn't neutral this season, and the sky is going to prove it to you!
Emily and Andrea check in after an emotional Virgo season and a heavy final Pisces eclipse, and remember Dolly Parton, a fellow Capricorn who chose generosity over hoarding her wealth. Then they dig into Libra's older meaning as the sign of justice, not just balance, and what Saturn in Aries opposite the Libra Sun means for boundaries this month. Andrea's tarot pulls keep coming back to one message: stay open to the conversation you'd normally walk away from, because that's where your next step is going to show up. You thought you were going to stay out of it? You are not going to stay out of it.
In this episode:
Remembering Dolly Parton and why eclipses were once called king killers
Libra's roots: the Babylonian balance of heaven, the Egyptian heart and feather, and the Greek scales and sword
The full moon in Aries, Mars into Leo, and Mercury into Scorpio
Venus retrograde (Oct 3 - Nov 13) and what it stirs up around trust, loyalty, and contracts
The October 10th new moon in Libra and Pluto stationing direct on the 15th
Tarot pulls for Libra season: High Priestess, Three of Pentacles, Six of Cups, Knight of Cups, Ace of Pentacles, plus the Queen of Swords as October's card
A look ahead to Scorpio season

Virgo Season: In 5 years I've never uploaded the wrong audio, until this episode! Originally published on August 22nd, the correct 2026 Virgo season is now ready for you to listen to!
Emily and Andrea come out of a Leo season that certainly dragged a lot of drama out of unexpected places, and get into where that leaves us now that Virgo's get-your-house-in-order energy has arrived. We'll 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 start the damn thing already!
In this episode:
Final Pisces eclipse
Venus into Scorpio ahead of this fall's retrograde

110: When Magic Stops Being a Theory
2026/08/28
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? I want to hear about it. Come tell me on Instagram, or hit reply on the newsletter. I read every message myself and I'm dying to know what midsteries are coming through for you.

108: What's Me, Versus the Me I Think I'm Supposed to Be
2026/08/12
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.
Tell me what's going on. We'll follow it wherever it leads.

Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs.
Leo Season: Barbault's Basket, the rare planetary alignment astrologer André Barbault called a potential turning point for humanity plus the August 12th total solar eclipse, Jupiter vs. Pluto, and why this might be the boldest astrological window in decades.
Emily and Andrea check in after a heavy, introspective season of wildfires, global unrest, and a Cancer Mercury retrograde and share a big update: Emily's podcast is rebranding to The Emily and Her Stars Podcast as it hits its 5-year anniversary. Then they dig into Leo season, the North Node's shift into Aquarius, and how Andrea's tarot pulls, from the Nine of Wands to the King of Pentacles, echo one consistent message: stop waiting for permission and trust what you've built.
In this episode:
What is Barbault's Basket, and why astrologers are calling it a generational turning point
Jupiter in Leo vs. Pluto in Aquarius

106: Cosmic Energy Report: June - December 2026
2026/06/20
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!

105: Cosmic Energy Report - Gemini 2026
2026/05/19
Gemini Season Cosmic Energy Report | May 20 - June 20, 2026
Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs.
Recorded while still sitting in Taurus season stagnation, Emily and Andrea dive into why everything feels like the gas and the brake at the same time, what the ancients understood about liminal periods that we've forgotten, and why this Gemini season is unlike any we've had before.
In this episode: Why Uranus in Gemini changes the game for the next seven years. Andrea's tarot pulls that surprised both of us. The transit entering Taurus for the first time since 1983. Why you might be watering someone else's garden. And the Dogma quote that sums up the entire Gemini-Sagittarius axis.

104: Cosmic Energy Report - Taurus 2026
2026/04/20
In this episode, Emily and Andrea dive into the aftermath of Aries season and prepare you for Taurus 2026. All this chaos might actually be working! The political absurdity, the nonstop news, the global upheaval... it's making it harder for people to look away, and that's where the hope is. We'll explore how humor, satire, and cross-cultural solidarity are shifting the collective consciousness, and Andrea draws a fascinating comparison between NASA's Artemis astronauts and the Titan submersible that really puts things in perspective.
Then the conversation shifts to Taurus season, with Uranus leaving Taurus after seven years of disrupting everything from financial security to personal identity. Emily frames this moment as a chance to rebuild your foundations on more stable ground. We’re not going to be able to hustle the rebuilding so do what you can through steady pleasure, and trusting your instincts instead of doubling-down on quick fixes. The pandemic years stripped people of their ability to simply enjoy life, and this Taurus season invites a reclamation of beauty, whimsy, and presence. Andrea's tarot pulls reinforce this arc, all pointing toward honest self-reckoning, balanced giving and receiving, and steady incremental action. This is captured in the Zen proverb "chop wood, carry water" as the spiritual practice of ordinary life.

103: Cosmic Energy Report - Aries 2026
2026/03/20
In this Cosmic Energy Report, Emily and Andrea are chatting about the crazy emotions following the early-2026 eclipse season—seems like everyone's split between feeling totally ready to move forward and just stuck in the mud. Then we look ahead to Aries season for a big cardinal, Mars-ruled push for a reset. It's all about being brave, taking the lead, and not playing small (just watch out for getting too impulsive, angry, or burned out!). We bring up the major global news that went down during the eclipse window, the ongoing Saturn–Neptune vibes, and a heads-up about possible financial ups and downs ahead. Andrea pulled the tarot cards for Aries season—which basically shout: get grounded with your money, trust your gut, actually do the thing, and expect to see real results. Emily shares key dates include Mercury finally going direct at the equinox, Venus moving into Taurus, a full moon in Libra, Mars heading into Aries, and a wild pile-up of planets in Aries (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Chiron) hitting its peak with an Aries new moon right before Taurus season kicks off.

102: Cosmic Energy Report - Pisces 2026
2026/02/17
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 Cosmic Energy Report, Andrea and I are chatting about all the complex feels of the 2026 Pisces season. We're getting deep into what the solar and lunar eclipses mean, that big Saturn-Neptune mashup in Aries, and the Pisces new moon. I'll explain how Neptune hanging out in Aries and a bunch of planets chilling in Pisces is going to kick off some major shifts in your feelings and your real life. Plus, we'll give you tips on how to keep your feet on the ground and protect your personal peace while things are super sensitive and changing fast.
My intuitive astrology is all about finding that sweet spot between being practical and trusting your gut. I think this is seriously one of the most pivotal months of 2026 and you're going to start seeing all that change really happen. Andrea is sharing her weekly intuitive hits by pulling cards to talk about the light and shadow energies showing up this season. The King of Cups and Queen of Swords popping up together is a big deal, signaling you'll need a cool mix of emotional clarity and strong boundaries. And to wrap it up, we're tackling how to handle money worries, why you need to chill out and be patient with new projects, and the awesome, transformative power of the upcoming Aries energy.
Together, Andrea and I are sending you all the good vibes and advice on how to channel this cosmic cocktail into positive stuff. We're urging you to pay attention to your intuition and get ready for the fast-paced energy of Aries season that's coming up!

101: Cosmic Energy Report - Aquarius 2026
2026/01/17
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.
Hey everyone! Get ready for a huge shift because Aquarius season is here, and 2026 is already looking spicy! Hosts Emily from Emily and Her Stars and Andrea from Concrete and Crystals are diving into the cosmic vibes. We're kicking things off with a little real-talk about that "wet blanket" feeling from the Capricorn hangover. Then, we're zooming out to the big Aquarius picture like what's up with community, systems, and how to find your tribe without losing yourself?
Emily's breaking down the major astrology from late January to mid-February. A super intense Pluto week and the energy building up to the solar eclipse and the Fire Horse Lunar New Year. Meanwhile, Andrea's pulling tarot for each week (Pages, Strength, The Fool, and Three of Pentacles), talking about stepping up as a leader, getting your momentum going, listening to your nervous system, and why it's better to collaborate than to try and be a one-person show. Seriously, this is one of the first big, pivotal moments of 2026. Embrace the wild ride and remember that even in chaos, there's always a universal good to be found!

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.
The first half of 2026 shifts from 2025's stagnant waiting energy into decisive action and transformation. January through March build momentum as Neptune and Saturn move into Aries, clearing the fog and demanding that first brave step forward. February is the most pivotal month, with Saturn meeting Neptune at zero degrees Aries on the 20th, a rare cosmic reset at the origin point of the zodiac. This is preceded by a powerful solar eclipse in Aquarius on the 17th that squares Uranus, ushering in this new era! March brings a lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 3rd, clearing old patterns from the Virgo-Pisces eclipse series. The tarot journey moves from the Two of Wands (planning) through the Eight of Wands (rapid movement) to The Magician (you have everything you need), requiring emotional intelligence to stay grounded amid collective upheaval.
April and May accelerate as seven planets gather in Aries, creating unprecedented energy that demands singular focus and inner trust. The Magician and Chariot cards signal there's no turning back - this is the moment to manifest quickly and discover you're not alone as parallel paths converge. While personal manifestations flourish, the collective experiences intense tension and dissolution of old systems around leadership and power. By June, the Nine of Wands acknowledges fatigue but emphasizes pacing over stopping. You're closer than you think! Jupiter's move into Leo promises that creativity, play, and human connection will carry us through, reminding us that our individual dreams create the new world we're moving toward together.
