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 week’s tarot reading on pushing yourself too hard hits close to home for many of us. Missing Chocolate Cake has been trying to get healthier, but the harder she pushes, the worse things get. Now she’s laid up with a knee injury, exhausted by salads, and wondering why she keeps doing this to herself. Miri and Judie use the Character’s Mirror spread to dig into the emotional patterns underneath the cycle.
Bright blessings ladies, I’m writing this email as I’m laid up in bed again because I pushed myself too hard and my knee isn’t speaking to me anymore. I’ve always had problems with my weight and thought that gym would help but I seem to be doing more damage than good and if I see one more salad I’m going to scream. So why do I keep doing this to myself?

A tarot reading bad dates situation is exactly what Miri and Judie dig into this episode. Warty Lips has been putting herself out there, going on date after date, and keeps ending up disappointed. She’s tired of kissing frogs and wants to know when her prince is finally going to show up.
Miri and Judie split the question into two aspects: what Warty Lips is doing on the outside, and what she’s telling herself on the inside. Using the Clueless Tarot and the Voyager Tarot, they each pull a full Compass Plus Three spread and read simultaneously. What comes up might surprise her. The cards aren’t pointing to bad luck or bad timing. They’re pointing to some patterns worth a closer look, and some real strengths she may not be giving herself credit for.
Both readings landed in a similar place: Warty Lips has everything she needs. The work is in getting out of her own way, getting clear on what she actually wants, and trusting herself enough to go after it. If you’ve ever felt like you keep meeting the wrong people no matter what you do, this episode is for you.

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?
