On this week’s episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by the radiant co-hosts of The Universe Called podcast — Courtney Sauls and Natalie Burtney. Together, we drop into the deep waters of the Scorpio New Moon, exploring its themes of emotional alchemy, intuition, and rebirth — especially poignant as this is the first Scorpio New Moon since Pluto’s definitive arrival into Aquarius.In our conversations we explore the intersection of astrology, identity, yoga, creativity, and collective change. Courtney shares about her work in I Am an American via Los Angeles and how acting, embodiment, and shadow work weave through her Scorpio Rising experience. Natalie opens up about her Scorpio Moon and its connection to artistic cycles, trauma-informed yoga, and we listen to a song from her music project with her partner Smoke Red Sun.Together we explore Pluto in Aquarius, the shifting landscape of creative industries, and how breakdown often precedes innovation. We close with Scorpio New Moon practices, from somatic rituals to intentional releasing, along with reflections on yoga, nature, and how to honor transformation in both quiet and cathartic ways. It’s a rich, soulful conversation that I’m so excited to share with you.
__________________________________________________The Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey6-Month Ritual Immersion through the Major Arcana
The next evolution of the Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey — a six-month ritual immersion into the living wisdom of the Major Arcana — has arrived!For years, this pilgrimage has unfolded as an intimate passage through the 22 archetypes, guiding seekers into embodied relationship with the tarot’s deepest teachings. This year marks a powerful turning point: for the first time ever, participants are invited to step not only into the role of seeker, but also into the role of facilitator and practitioner. This expansion represents a widening of our circle, a passing of the flame, and an opportunity to carry this sacred storytelling lineage into your own communities. Whether you’ve walked the Fool’s path before or you’re stepping into it for the very first time, you are warmly invited to apprentice yourself to mystery in a whole new way.
I’m honored to be joined by two extraordinary guest co-facilitators — Lindsay Mack of Tarot for the Wild Soul and Mary Evans of Spirit Speak Tarot — who will support and enrich this year’s journey with their unique perspectives and magic.The journey begins in January of 2026!

On this week’s episode of Cosmic Cousins, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Taurus Sun Feng Shui Master and energy healer Gui Hayashi of Healing Home with Gui for a grounded, soulful conversation exploring the Taurus Full Moon and the alchemy of embodiment.
Together, we explore the intersection of Taurus and Feng Shui, discussing how activating the five senses opens the sixth — intuition. Gui shares stories from his multicultural roots in Brazil, Japan, and Lebanon, his transition from corporate life into sacred space design, and how rearranging energy in our homes mirrors transformation within ourselves.
We also dive into the spiritual and practical rituals for this Taurus Full Moon — from creating ancestor altars and prosperity affirmations to tending the “health sector” of your home and connecting with nature. Along the way, we touch on numerology and the upcoming 11:11 Portal, a gateway to release the old and plant intentions for a new nine-year cycle. This episode is an embodied invitation to slow down, savor beauty, and align your values with the rhythm of the Earth.
Tune in for a guided meditation, reflections on emotional embodiment, and an invitation to deepen your journey through the upcoming Brooklyn Fools Tarot Journey Training. Enrollment opens on 11.11

Rebecca shares how her relationship with numbers began as a form of reclamation, transforming math anxiety into a practice of meaning-making, and how her recent healing journey through cancer has unfolded in rhythm with Jupiter’s transit through Cancer. We explore the Sabian symbol for this New Moon, “Handing down wisdom from generation to generation,” as an invitation to bridge knowledge and lived experience, weaving ancient insight into modern healing.

On this podcast episode, it’s with so much honor and excitement that Jeff Hinshaw finally gets to share with you that he is the author of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot. This project weaves together a deep study of the Tarot with reverence for the beauty of our planet. Each of the 78 cards is paired with a different location in the world. It’s been over a year of research, writing and teamwork. The deck is illustrated in collaboration with the brilliant Studio Muti.
The Travel Tarot is now officially open for pre-order and will be released in the U.S. on February 17, 2026, which makes this deck an Aquarius Sun with a Pisces Moon (quite fitting for such an expansive deck celebrating humanity).
Also, on this podcast episode, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by cosmic sibling Joél Andres Collier of Doll Muscle. Formed in New Orleans in 2017 with composer/producer Bodhi Landa, Doll Muscle creates cathartic dream-pop anthems lush with synths, post-punk grit, and shimmering soundscapes. Their work explores queer love at the boundaries of gender and consciousness, offering listeners a warm, visionary sound that feels both intimate and otherworldly.
Together they listen to Five Songs: Here We Are, Wizard, Steeplechase, XO, Allways, and Our Mother. We invite you to bring out your tarot deck and meditate with the cards that came up in our discussion: Judgement, Justice, Queen of Pentacles, Queen of Swords, and the 7 of Cups. We also explore planetary archetypes and Zodiac signs that weave throughout Doll Muscle’s songs, including: Chiron, Neptune, Pluto, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. You may glean insights by revisiting these signs and planets in your own birth chart.

This episode explores the Virgo–Pisces polarity and the invitations of this Pisces Lunar Eclipse. The episode is started out with Jeff Hinshaw inviting you to balance grounded devotion with dreamy surrender: tending to daily routines, health, and service (Virgo) while opening to flow, intuition, and spiritual expansion (Pisces).
Then, Jeff is joined by the painter and sculptor Susan Carr, whose work embodies this very polarity. A Pisces Sun, Virgo Moon, and Leo Rising, Susan channels both meticulous craft and ethereal vision in her art. Together, we explore five of her transformative paintings. To see the visual of these painting, there is a Cosmic Cousins Substack article that includes these 5 paintings:
The Fool as a self-portrait carrying ancestral karma
Ace of Wands, erupting with fiery new beginnings
The Moon, a meditation on body, pain, and primal transformation
Self-Portrait with Mask, invoking octopus medicine and paired with Mary Oliver’s poetry
Picking Up the Pieces, a political and grief-centered reflection echoing the Marseille Death card
Susan’s journey with grief, creativity, and healing is both moving and inspiring. From discovering Cosmic Cousins in 2017 during a period of profound loss, to now sharing her art as a channel for transformation, her story reminds us that devotion, flow, and intuitive expression can turn pain into beauty and service into love.
Settle in, breathe, and join us as we explore art, astrology, and the sacred dance of Virgo and Pisces with Susan Carr.
