286. MONTHLY MEDICINE: April is Chrysalis

286. MONTHLY MEDICINE: April is Chrysalis

Author: Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul March 31, 2025 Duration: 51:29

The theme for April is Chrysalis. We are no longer a caterpillar, and not completely in the in-between time of transmutation. We are now a fully formed butterfly, our chrysalis clear and transparent, right on the verge of eclosing and emerging from this container. April marks an important period of time where we will be engaging with the inner preparatory work necessary to come into the next iteration of our lives. This month will likely not contain a ton of big clear moments of direction, or a-ha's about what to do next in the way that our ego and heart might long for them. But we are so close to that clarity -- April is going to help us to move into the next phase of our lives, and this reading can help us to understand how to engage with the invitations at hand.

Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul, guides this unique audio space where the ancient wisdom of the Tarot meets a deeply grounded, modern heart. Tarot for the Wild Soul with Lindsay Mack moves far beyond fortune-telling, instead using the cards as a mirror for our inner landscapes-a tool for understanding our patterns, healing, and personal growth. Each episode is built on an inclusive, trauma-informed perspective that prioritizes compassion and critical thinking over prediction. You’ll find the conversations here are practical, rooted in common sense, and designed to make the archetypal lessons of the Tarot accessible to everyday life. Listeners join a growing community, evidenced by millions of downloads, for regular deep dives into specific cards, insightful lessons on weaving Tarot into a spiritual practice, and monthly channeled messages that offer reflective nourishment. This podcast serves as a gentle, powerful companion for anyone seeking to explore their own wild soul with more kindness and clarity, using the Tarot as a map rather than a crystal ball.
