320: MONTHLY MEDICINE: August is Reclaiming Pleasure

320: MONTHLY MEDICINE: August is Reclaiming Pleasure

Author: Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul August 1, 2026 Duration: 50:41

August is an Eclipse month, and the guidance on what we are being invited to pay attention to is — for once — blissfully clear: pleasure, joy, receiving, delight, and goodness are your birthrights, your earthrights. Reclaim them, encircle them in your arms, and don’t let them go. Amid all the peaches, all the fruits you’ve cultivated and given away, savor some for yourself, too. Perhaps more than you are giving away to others, especially for the month ahead.

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.
