Synchronicity Mirrors: Tarot Cards in Action

By Dr. Tsafrir | March 25, 2024 |

INTERVIEW WITH JUDY TSAFRIR

Connecting with Coincidence

Look around you. The events of your mind are being mirrored in the multiple sensations coming into your brain. Synchronicity shows us that our minds are embedded in our environments. We are both separate and part of our worlds. Psychiatrist Judy Tsafrir drew a card from a tarot deck composed of trees that mirrored my intent and helped strengthen it. How does this mirroring work? We make our guesses. More important is that it happens and can be helpful to you. Look for the reflections. They are there!

The Heart of the Lion and the Price of Revenge

The current president has Regulus conjunct his Ascendent and natal Mars. There’s an ancient astrological teaching about fixed star Regulus that feels incredibly relevant right now. Regulus is called “The Heart of the Lion” - one of the four royal stars of Persia, associated for thousands of years with kingship, power, visibility, and extraordinary success.

Fixed stars are different from planets - they appear stationary from our perspective, distant suns carrying immense archetypal force. When a fixed star is conjunct a personal point in a birth chart (sun, moon, ascendant, or midheaven), its symbolism becomes amplified in that person’s life.

Regulus, when prominent, can grant high honors, influence, and leadership. But it comes with a condition that ancient tradition and modern astrologers like Bernadette Brady emphasize:

Regulus promises success only if revenge is avoided.

If someone strongly marked by Regulus acts vindictively, tradition says the fall can be swift and public - loss of reputation, reversal of fortune, even imprisonment.

Regulus is like a watchdog over character. It rewards nobility and punishes vengeance. The lion’s true strength is restraint.

What does this bring to mind for you? What do you see unfolding in our collective story? Share below!

Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater: Holding paradox with integrity

This is an Oracle card from the deck I’ve been creating - one of the concepts I return to most often in my work. It’s harder than it sounds.

Yogi Bhajan built a Kundalini yoga lineage that genuinely transformed thousands of lives, and he was also a serial sexual predator who exploited followers in egregious ways. J.K. Rowling gave an entire generation a mythic world that still lives inside them, and she has used her platform repeatedly to harm trans people.

Both things are true. The harm doesn’t disappear because the gift was real. The gift doesn’t disappear because the harm was real.

What I’ve seen in my patients and myself is that when we split, we force ourselves to choose between grief and gratitude when both are actually true simultaneously.

This isn’t only about public figures. Many have had parents who caused real harm and also passed down something genuinely loved - the artistic eye, work ethic, humor, the way you move through the world.

You don’t have to renounce those blessings to hold them accountable. The baby is real. The bathwater is real. Naming each clearly without collapsing them is its own integrity - and how you actually get to keep what’s genuinely yours.

This capacity to hold paradox without splitting allows us to be whole humans navigating a complex world where most things contain both shadow and light.

✨ Do you resonate with the challenge of holding them both? Share below!

Harvesting Sweetness and Honoring Sorrow: The New Moon in Virgo

On September 10th, we welcome the new moon in Virgo at 18 degrees — a time that encourages us to reflect on the themes of harvest and renewal as we prepare for the Jewish New Year. This lunation presents an opportunity to align ourselves with the energy of this season, gathering insights about what we wish to cultivate in our lives.

This year, the new moon coincides with significant astrological movements, including the shift of the lunar nodes into Leo and Aquarius.

As we celebrate Rosh Hashana, we participate in sacred rituals that resonate with this lunar energy. The sound of the shofar, a ram`s horn, is blown to awaken the soul, reminding us of our shared responsibilities and connections. This experience is amplified by the practice of Tashlich, where we cast away the old year’s mistakes into flowing water, symbolically releasing what no longer serves us as we prepare for new beginnings.

This year the new year arrives on September 11th, a date that holds deep grief for many. This coincidence is a powerful invitation to cultivate a consciousness of celebration — fostering sweetness while also acknowledging sorrow. It encourages us to hold space for both the beauty and the pain without allowing one to overshadow the other.

What sweetness are you inviting into your life this year, and how are you holding space for sorrow alongside it?

Please share your thoughts and intentions in the comments below; I would love to hear from you.

The Symbolism of Pomegranates: Abundance and New Beginnings

As we approach the new moon and the upcoming Jewish New Year, I want to reflect on the significance of pomegranates, which epitomize the themes of harvest, abundance, and fertility.

Pomegranates originate from regions spanning modern-day Iran to the Caucasus and the Himalayan foothills and have appeared in art and literature across many cultures. In the Book of Exodus, pomegranates are embroidered into the hem of the high priest`s robe, symbolizing their deep-rooted connection to tradition and spirituality.

Tradition holds that a pomegranate contains 613 seeds, paralleling the 613 commandments in Jewish law, though if you actually count them, the number can vary by fruit. The abundance within each fruit reflects the blessings we wish to invite into our lives.

Growing up in Pittsburgh, pomegranates were a seasonal delight that we called “Indian apples.” I remember picking those ruby-red seeds one by one, savoring each juicy burst without realizing there was a more efficient method.

To make it easier, cut the fruit in half, hold the cut side down over a bowl, and with a firm tap on the back using a wooden spoon, the seeds will tumble out effortlessly.

As we gather to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, my wish for you is that you receive as many blessings in the coming year as the pomegranate holds seeds.

Do pomegranates carry a special meaning for you? Please share your experiences in the comments below. I would love to hear from you.

Embracing Abundance: The New Moon in Virgo and the Influence of Jupiter

On September 10th, we welcome a new moon in Virgo at 18 degrees, a time for introspection and intention-setting. Virgo is known for its talent in gathering, refining, and noticing what can be improved. This same instinct can sometimes turn into self-criticism, making it difficult to appreciate what is already good in our lives.

We must also consider that Chiron is sitting at 0 degrees Taurus, directly opposite Venus in Scorpio. Chiron represents old wounds, particularly focused on our bodies and self-acceptance. Many women are vulnerable to this type of self-criticism, perceiving their worth as tied to their appearance or productivity.

This new moon provides us with a clear invitation to change that narrative. Jupiter is sitting at 15 degrees Leo - a powerful and magical point. Jupiter expands the energy of warmth, play, and joy. It reminds us that the worry Virgo generates can obscure the magic and abundance that Jupiter wants to offer.

As we navigate this new moon, it’s essential to plant seeds of discernment that do not devote into self-rejection. Let`s allow ourselves to experience pleasure without guilt and fully embrace the sweetness that life has to offer.

Are you familiar with this shadow aspect of Virgo? How can you embody the expansive and joyful energy of Jupiter at 15 degrees Leo in your life?

🗡️ The Seven of Swords: What if this “deceptive” card is actually about strategic wisdom?

Some of the most feared cards in Tarot actually hold the most empowering wisdom - like the Seven of Swords. Traditionally linked to deception, evasion, and sneakiness, it understandably provokes fear when it appears. “Who’s trying to pull the wool over my eyes? How might I be fooling myself?”

In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, we see a trickster-like figure in red boots and a fur hat reminiscent of a shaman, arms full of five swords while two remain standing. Unlike the cool blues and grays that dominate the suit of swords, this card glows with bright yellow.

I want to offer a more empowering perspective: The Seven of Swords can remind us of the power of strategy and discernment - choosing your battles wisely, protecting your energy, and quietly walking away from what no longer serves.

Sometimes direct confrontation isn’t the best path, and clever, resourceful approaches may be far more effective. Rather than a warning of betrayal, this card can be an invitation to:

Trust your unconventional path
Honor your independence
Think outside the box
Guard your truth until the time is right

Not every battle needs to be fought head-on. Sometimes the wisest move is the one others don’t see coming.

How do you approach challenging cards? What reframes have shifted your relationship with Tarot’s “difficult” messages?

Meet Mugwort: The dream-awakening herb hiding in plain sight

Can you identify this herb? This is mugwort, gathered this morning on my walk around the reservoir. Right now, it’s growing wild all over Boston. Notice its feathery, silvery-green leaves that shimmer like moonlight - long associated with Artemis, the lunar goddess who protects travelers venturing into the wilderness.

In folklore, pilgrims placed mugwort in their shoes for protection on long journeys. One of mugwort’s most cherished gifts is its power to awaken dreaming:
Fresh leaves can be brewed into bedtime tea
Dried leaves tucked into a sachet under your pillow
Burned as incense to open doorways between worlds
Some even smoke the leaves before sleep to stir dream visions
These plant allies can support our inner journeys. Individual sensitivity varies - mugwort’s medicine can be too strong for some, and it should never be used during pregnancy.

I plan to dry these leaves and make a sachet for under my pillow. In many ways, during these uncertain and transformative times, we are all travelers journeying through wilderness. Mugwort may be just the guide we need.

Have you ever worked with mugwort in your dreamtime? What was your experience? I’d love to hear from you!

Navigating the Energy of Virgo Season: Embracing Clarity and Ease

As we enter Virgo season, the energy of the harvest invites us to gather, sort, and refine what we’ve cultivated over the year. This time reminds us that while Virgo is about diligence, it can also lead us into overthinking and worry.

We have an opportunity to address our mental clutter, with Chiron moving through Taurus, highlighting our relationship with self-worth. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, you’re not alone. I want to share a powerful acupressure point known as Stomach 8, or “Head Tied.”

Located at the corner of your forehead where your hairline meets your temple, this point can help untangle a busy mind and restore a sense of clarity. Massaging it gently can assist in cutting through the noise of excessive thoughts and feelings of being overwhelmed, allowing you to focus on the tasks that truly matter.

If you have some tangerine oil, consider using it to work with this point. I encourage you to take a moment to find Stomach 8, apply some tangerine oil if available, and let yourself be present to what is here today, rather than rehearsing worries about tomorrow.

What thoughts or reflections does this stir in you? How are you working with the current energy to to cultivate balance and ease in your life and to calm your mind. Please share your experiences in the comments below; I would love to hear from you.

Understanding Our Body`s Signals: The Astrological Insight of Uranus in Gemini

Right now, Uranus is in Gemini, a powerful placement that speaks directly to the nervous system, breath, and the pathways that carry signals through our bodies. This alignment highlights the connection between technology, awareness, and our physical selves.

Uranus embodies the realm of innovation and electricity, and when combined with Gemini’s focus on communication, we see how technology increasingly monitors our bodily responses. A device like an Oura ring can provide valuable data, but there are some aspects of monitoring that feel more intrusive.

Walmart holds a patent for a shopping cart handle that tracks your heart rate, temperature, and how quickly you`re walking. This technology can provide significant benefits, such as alerting an associate if your pulse spikes, potentially catching a stroke before it happens. It also raises concerns about how this data can be used; to learn which displays raise your heart rate or when walking down which aisles does your grip tighten, ultimately guiding you to stay in the store longer.

The awareness of your body is a powerful source of presence. When you notice those physical responses before your mind catches up, you reclaim your ability to respond rather than be swept away by external pressures.

What is the first thing your body does when it feels stressed? How does it express itself before your mind fully engages?

The Upcoming Trine: Igniting Your Inner Fire

On August 31st, a powerful astrological event unfolds as Jupiter and Saturn form their first trine since the great conjunction that marked the beginning of the Air era in December 2020.

A trine is the astrology of flow, and Jupiter, the planet of expansion, meets Saturn, the planet of structure, at a time when the world is in the throes of an intense transformative process. Think back on that winter solstice; we were deep in the pandemic. Now, as they align in a trine, there is a frequency of ease, creativity and heart-centered action that is available to us.

The shift from Air signs to Fire signs—Saturn in Aries and Jupiter in Leo—infuses this energy with initiative and courage. Aries sparks the fire, while Leo adds warmth and passion. As these signs interact, we are reminded of the importance of our individual expressions and our ability to bring light and creativity to the collective.

Now is the time to consider where you feel drawn to put your fire. What passions are calling you? How can you harness this momentum for your creative pursuits?

I invite you to share your thoughts in the comments below. I would love to hear what’s stirring in your heart.

Think back on that winter solstice; we were deep in the pandemic. Now, as they align in a trine, there is a frequency of ease, creativity and heart-centered action that is available to us.

The shift from Air signs to Fire signs—Saturn in Aries and Jupiter in Leo—infuses this energy with initiative and courage. Aries sparks the fire, while Leo adds warmth and passion. As these signs interact, we are reminded of the importance of our individual expressions and our ability to bring light and creativity to the collective.

Now is the time to consider where you feel drawn to put your fire. What passions are calling you? How can you harness this momentum for your creative pursuits?

I invite you to share your thoughts in the comments below. I would love to hear what’s stirring in your heart.

Want deeper connections with loved ones? Try this simple dinnertime practice...

In our busy lives, meaningful conversations don’t always happen naturally - sometimes we need to create the space for them. That’s why I developed the “Rose, Thorn, Bud” practice for our family dinners.

Here’s how it works:
🌹 Rose: Share something you’re happy about
🌵 Thorn: Share something challenging or disappointing
🌱 Bud: Share something you’re looking forward to

We played this around our dinner table when my children were young, and it worked magic - opening doorways to each other’s inner worlds. I’ve since introduced it to dinner guests with the same beautiful results.

In Sacred Psychiatry, I explore how these intentional practices deepen our connections and nourish not just our bodies but our spirits. Sometimes the most profound healing happens around the dinner table.

Try this at your next family meal and share how it transforms your conversations!

Virgo Season teaches us that clarity is an act of love

One of Virgo’s greatest superpowers is discernment - the ability to see clearly and sort the wheat from the chaff. Maya Angelou famously said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”

Yet time and again, I witness friends, family, and patients ignore the evidence right in front of them. They explain away harmful behavior, rationalizing why it’s “not such a big deal.” It’s as if they refuse to add up two plus two, and the result? They sign up for more of the same mistreatment.

I often find myself saying, “I’m surprised that you’re surprised.”

Virgo’s wisdom reminds us that discernment isn’t about being judgmental - it’s about being honest with ourselves, noticing patterns, and protecting our boundaries.

Of course, everyone makes mistakes and compassion matters. But as the saying goes: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

This season asks us to sharpen our perception and trust what we see. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do for ourselves is to believe the evidence of someone’s behavior rather than their words or our hopes about who they might become.

Clarity protects us. Discernment guides us. Truth serves us.

How has discernment guided you in your own life? What patterns have you learned to trust?
