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. 


Reading for the month ahead:

Card for the month ahead: Nine of Pentacles Rx

Feel/vibe of the month ahead: The Magician Rx

How can we best work with the month ahead?: Two of Swords and The Empress

Honoring and acknowledging that this podcast episode was recorded on the unceded land of The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, currently called Portland, OR, with the deepest respect to the Kalapuya Tribe, Cowlitz Tribe, and Atfalati Tribe.



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.
