Mercury Retrograde is Digging Up Dirt (And We’re Bringing a Shovel)
Mercury Retrograde is officially digging up dirt—and this week, we’re bringing a shovel and a tarot deck. With the Sun diving headfirst into Scorpio, Venus picking fights with Pluto, and 5 planets currently in retrograde, the universe isn't asking if you're ready to look at what's under the rug. It's pulling up the floorboards.
Thankfully, the Taurus Full Moon is showing up like an absolute anchor to keep us from spiraling into the underworld.
In this episode:
What Planet's in the Microwave:
Surviving Venus square Pluto, Scorpio season shifts, and a whopping 5 planets in retrograde.
The Depth & Anchor Tarot Spread:
Here is a 5-card spread tailored specifically to harness this week's cosmic shifts: the Sun entering Scorpio, the Hunter’s Moon in Taurus, and Mercury stationing retrograde.
This layout balances deep emotional exposure with physical grounding and practical mental boundaries.
Card Positions & Prompts:
1. Scorpio Depth: What Scorpio season is pulling up from the underground.
The Focus: What hidden truth, emotional pattern, or unsaid desire is resurfacing as the Sun enters Scorpio? What was buried that now demands to be witnessed rather than managed?
2. Taurus Full Moon — Physical Anchor: What body connection/boundary to solidify
The Focus: Where do you need to claim tangible ease, physical comfort, or unwavering self-worth? What sensory habit or solid routine keeps you grounded while the waters shift around you?
3. Taurus Full Moon — Physical Release: What material/somatic tension to drop
The Focus: What physical weight, habit of control, or phantom obligation are you holding in your nervous system out of routine? What can be safely returned to the earth?
4. Mercury Rx Shield: How to navigate mental shifts without spiraling
The Focus: Where can you pause before reacting during Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio? What mental boundary or communication practice keeps you rooted in observation rather than over-analyzing?
5. The Cazimi Core: The integrated wisdom waiting at the center
The Focus: What is the overarching truth that unites what you're releasing with what you're stepping into? The core realization of your own value once the noise clears.
Cabinet Conjuring:
Kupkake’s zero-fuss pantry ritual using coffee, salt, and honey to shield your nervous system and lock in your sanity.
Grab your favorite deck, light a candle, and let’s dive into the dirt.

The Cornell 7, Lizzie Borden & Aileen Wuornos: Manufacturing the "Monster"
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of physical and sexual violence, severe trauma, systemic abuse, and capital punishment.
When society strips women of their autonomy, destroys their support systems, and blocks every safe exit, what happens when they finally snap? In Part 2 of our series, Jenn and Kupkake examine how true crime media, pop culture, and the legal system manufacture "monsters" rather than addressing the systemic abuse that drove them to the edge.
We look at the new Netflix series Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story to unpack Victorian gaslighting and wealthy isolation, contrasting it with the story of Aileen Wuornos—a traumatized, working-class survival sex worker abandoned by every legal and social safety net. We explore who gets empathy, who gets executed, and how the patriarchy turns female self-defense and survival rage into stylized entertainment.
In This Episode:
Lizzie Borden: Wealthy privilege, "proper womanhood," and the gilded pressure cooker
Aileen Wuornos: Systemic abandonment, the class divide, and who gets to claim self-defense
True crime exploitation: Media tropes vs. human reality
The Pressure Cooker & The "Monster" Mirror (Live 6-Card Tarot Pull)
Black Moon Lilith & Pluto energy: Reclaiming your rage as a compass

10/10 Portals, Godsip & Venus Retrograde: Why They’re Terrified of Us Talking
Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of historical persecution, gaslighting, domestic isolation, and abusive dynamics. Please take care of yourself while listening.
Welcome to Part 1 of our special two-part series! Today, Jenn and Kupkake are opening the floodgates by stepping through the 10/10 Portal and navigating the fiery waters of Venus in Retrograde. We’re holding a magnifying glass to where you’ve been accepting crumbs in your relationships and financial life—and why that ex popping up during this transit is a pop quiz, not a cosmic sign to reconcile.
Then, we dive deep into the origin of the word "gossip." Tracing back to godsibb—the spiritual sisterhoods and unsupervised medieval birthing rooms that kept women safe—we expose how patriarchal authorities weaponized language to turn sacred community into "sinful gossip" and "hysteria."
In This Episode:
The 10/10 Portal & Venus Audit: Jenn does a live 6-card pull on raising your price tag and stepping through the threshold
Retrograde Ghosts: Why Saturn and Venus are bringing past loops around for a final viewing (and why we’re blocking their number)
The Etymology of Godsibb: How unsupervised women’s spaces were criminalized into "witchcraft"
Weaponized Verbiage: How terms like "crazy," "dramatic," and "hysterical" are used to isolate women from their reality check
