A listener signed in as “The ATM is Closed” is dealing with a cousin who keeps asking for money, and who hasn’t paid back the last two loans. Miri and Judie split the question in two, with Miri pulling cards on how to say no and Judie pulling cards on what makes it feel impossible. The cards are clear, and so is the affirmation they close with.

My parents are getting up in age, and I have started noticing that both of them are having memory issues. My dad is so sweet and gentle, but is unable to remember things that were said to him even 10 minutes ago. He feels so bad about it too and keeps apologizing. My mom is doing slightly better, but I can still tell that she is slipping. Tasks are getting dropped or are too difficult to handle at all. She’s totally trying to hide that this is happening, but she can’t hide it anymore, and I think it scares her.
How can I help them?

“In the past number of years, I’ve lost my grandparents, my great aunt, two great uncles, and my mom. I looked to them for advice to navigate life and comfort when things were tough. And now that they’re gone, I get glimpses of support in random moments like hearing a favorite song in the supermarket. But how can I become more receptive to receiving messages? Is there a message from beyond that I may be overlooking?”

This is the fourth episode in an ongoing series where Judie and Miri are writing a novel together, one tarot spread at a time. Today they turn the Character Mirror spread on two of Stephanie’s supporting characters: a nemesis whose hunger for fame and status hides a carefully buried past, and a mentor’s aide who arrives full of enthusiasm but is holding themselves together with sheer force of will. The cards have a lot to say about both of them.

The Question from Fox:
I am currently on sick leave from work. My health issues have forced me to reconsider my life priorities. I find myself at a crossroads questioning whether I should return to working in the public healthcare sector or create my own job?
I lost an immediate family member who was toxic, verbally abusive, and deeply damaging to my self-worth for years. Now that they’re gone, I’m working to heal from the emotional damage — but without the possibility of closure from them directly. How do I move forward?

My partner and I have been together for 9 years, and got married in 2019. I’m a bookkeeper by trade. When COVID hit, the company that I worked for closed. My partner was able to work remotely, and I picked up some clients. We made it all work. Three years ago, we had our first child. I needed something to feed my brain, so I started learning graphic design online, and I was able to graduate with a diploma from an accredited art school. My little side hustle of pamphlets and fliers evolved into helping to build brands for small businesses. I really enjoy the graphics work and all the creative aspects that come with it.
Our son is now old enough for daycare. I’m looking forward to going into an office where I can be around adults. The problem is that I don’t know what kind of work to look for. Should I go back to bookkeeping? Or should I find something in a marketing company? My partner isn’t pushing for me to go back to work, so I have time to find what I want to do. So, ladies, can your cards tell me which would be better for me overall—bookkeeping or brand-building and website design?

A parent in a small district faces a crossroads: a specialized project-based charter school, or a traditional high school with AP classes and more flexibility? Their teen is still figuring out what they love. Two tarot readers pull cards on two aspects of this question and see what the cards have to say.
Here is their question:
“I live in a small school district where the traditional high school model doesn’t really exist. Instead, we have three small charter high schools built around project-based learning pathways—Science, Design, and Communications—and they don’t offer A.P. classes, which I have heard is a standardized way for admissions officers to look at how a student performs.
The idea is that if a student already has a strong interest, they can dive deep into that pathway and potentially connect it to a future career or college major. That seems great for kids who know what they love.
But what about the kids who don’t know yet?
My child is still figuring things out, and choosing one of these specialized schools feels like a big commitment at age 13 or 14. The alternative would be transferring to a more traditional high school outside our district.
With college admissions becoming so competitive—even schools that used to be considered safeties now have acceptance rates around 30–35%—it makes me wonder how much the type of high school really matters.
So my question is: Is it better for a student who’s still exploring to attend a specialized project-based charter school without A.P. classes, or a traditional high school with more academic options and flexibility?”
