Welcome And March Overview

SPEAKER_01 0:02

Welcome to Romanist. Very friendly neighborhood gypsies.

Love Reading: Three Of Cups

SPEAKER_00 0:07

I'm Paulina. And I'm Jazz, and we have the reading for March 2026, plus some cute little community check-ins and updates. Paulina, what do we have for love this month?

SPEAKER_01 0:25

So uh for the month of March, uh love is looking pretty good, pretty bright, no rain. So for love, we got the three of cups. And this one really makes me feel like um because the three of cups is just deeply rooted in friendship and celebration and basically happiness without the pressure for three of cups in love. I feel like it's about focusing on friendship. Um, this could be even in a love relationship, like a relationship relationship, then it's more about again, even focusing on the friendship in that aspect as well. Sometimes you have to like zoom out a little bit and see your partners or dates or friends, um, as people, as friends. I think sometimes we can get really attached or put labels or like you know what I mean? I feel like it's good to just like zoom out a little bit and focus on the friendship part and being happy with one another.

Friendship As The Core Of Love

SPEAKER_00 1:44

Yeah, the friendship part of any relationship is so crucial. And you know, for love readings of as we've shared before, we don't just mean romantic love. It can be your friends, it can be any kind of love, community love, maybe even you want to throw a family in here. But at the same time, whenever this card comes up for dating advice, whenever someone's getting a reading from me and they're like, How do I find my person? And a card like this comes up, I always think of how important it is to remind people that when they are dating or in the stages of their relationship where they're still trying to figure out, like, is this the person? I think a really helpful question is, would I want to be best friends with this person even if we weren't dating? And if the question is no, I don't think you belong with that person. Like I feel really strongly about it. And I think this card can also be really nudging people into um making sure that you're reaching out to the people you love and having some emotional connection to them, whether that's through an activity or you're just catching up over text or having a little call or something like that. Like this is a good time to be celebratory, to be joyful, make sure that you are connecting with your people. And if you're in the northern hemisphere, like we are, the weather is finally hopefully thawing out. I just had a blasting snowstorm yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 3:12

So much snow. But at the same time, I can feel the little creepings of spring. It's getting lighter earlier, and so make sure you're leaving your house and connecting with people. So, what whatever love means to you this month, go do the thing and really build friendships.

Weather, Joy, And Getting Outside

SPEAKER_01 3:28

Oh my gosh, it's like bright, warm, sunny, and like 70 degrees here. I'm so sorry.

Money Reading: Nine Of Pentacles

SPEAKER_00 3:36

I'm happy for you in Southern California. I really am. Because it's rough over here. We're having a beautiful day. I was walking Lily, who I don't know if anyone has seen Lily on the internet, but she's a small chihuahua, maybe like rat terrier mix. So she's little, she's like less than a foot tall. And the snow is definitely over her little puppy head. And so we have to walk where it's been plowed. And it was the wind was blowing so hard that it was like we were standing in front of um a snowblower, and she was wearing her little jacket, and she was big mad, like just so pissed off. And I was wearing my like faux leopard fur coat, like, oh my goodness. We looked ridiculous, but we survived. So for money, what did we get? We have the nine of pentacles for money, which I love. This is actually one of my favorite cards in the deck. Um, what does it mean to you for money?

SPEAKER_01 4:49

It's so nice because it's such a great card to have in the money section.

SPEAKER_00 4:55

It really is.

SPEAKER_01 4:57

Yeah, like I feel like it's low-key, super on point. Just for even like where it came out, pentacles in general represent purpose, finances, money, wealth, and and wealth, how you view wealth. So I really feel like for this month it's about kind of it. I mean, I feel like it's earned money that you grew from a seed, and so this card is about manifestation and like a steady growth process, but I also feel like it has a good kind of feminine, it's kind of like fertile for money, basically. You know what I'm saying? And so I think like trust your instinct, it's about basically money that you are possibly making, maybe even from your own skills, as opposed to I don't know, like feeling saved or like overworking for somebody else, like it's really stepping into your power of manifestation through money itself.

Receiving, Money Magic, And Boundaries

Equity, Systems, And Nourishing Spend

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Yeah, I feel like if listeners, if you are in a place where you believe in money magic, this might be a good time to just think about receiving. Since we're still in eclipse season and part of this is coming out during Mercury retrograde in Pisces, which is, you know, I love Pisces energy, but in terms of a Mercury retrograde, it's like extra messy, which, you know, we love it. But maybe you don't want to try manifesting, manifesting magic, but I think the idea of receiving and like being like open to things just coming to you, thinking about yourself as like a magnet for money, I think can be lovely. There's a great book called Money Witch by um Jesse Susanna Karnatz. We talked to her on my other podcast, In Material World, and I really like it because it's very rooted in real advice. She's a bookkeeper, I think. And um, I said I think because I'm not sure if she's um an accountant or a bookkeeper. Those are different things, but she literally works in money. But um, she has a background in everything from sex work to the arts. Like she's lived a real life of struggle, not of privilege. And she really speaks to what it is to just draw that energy to you in a way that's mindful of all the systems that we live in, you know, patriarchy and capitalism, all these things that create real obstacles because of racism or sexism or ableism. It's not overlooking that, but it's thinking about like how do we navigate all that and also advocate for a world where everyone has access. Like this card is about standing in a garden and being surrounded by everything you want. It's a card of the self-made person where it's acknowledging that you worked really hard for this life, you should enjoy it. And so there's this sense of not wanting to go wild spending your money this month because one of the challenges of this card is overspending. But um, one of the gifts is like using your money in a way that really nourishes and supports you. And this can also be about working smarter and not harder, or asking for help or support. Or, you know, for instance, if you are working in a small business or something, you're an entrepreneur. This might be looking for financial gifts from people who want to invest in you or just believe in you, or doing some sort of fundraiser or something. Like this is a time where you just accept the gifts, which I I really love to share that as a message. For our last card, we have the six of pentacles, which is such a lovely card for overall guidance, especially with this love being in this place of friendship and warmth and like emotional healing. The cups are all, you know, feelings and intuition, and then the nine of pentacles being such a luxe, like comfort, pleasure, joy kind of money card. I love that the six of pentacles is showing up as our overall guidance. How are you feeling that this month?

Guidance Reading: Six Of Pentacles

SPEAKER_01 9:07

I feel like the six of pentacles is really an interesting kind of complement to the nine of pentacles because it also kind of reinforces don't overgive, be careful, uh, make sure that things are equally exchanged between people. If you do receive something, receive it without guilt. Just kind of like making sure that there's a right checks and balances, but also staying humble. I know in one of the original depictions, it's kind of this wealthy guy like giving to the poor. It's interesting because it's like made to it, it was like made in a way that's like he knows that he could always end up in that position at some point. We we have to kind of also let go of these attachments to the physical money is just a currency, but there's other currencies like kindness and social credit and like all those other things. Um, and it just kind of makes me also think about just all the horrible things happening in the world and give what you can, you know, but like don't over-exhaust yourself or overwhelm yourself.

Mutual Aid And Asking For Help

Community Raffle And Rent Relief

SPEAKER_00 10:30

Yeah, this is such um a beautiful card of mutual aid and charity. Like we've talked before about how a lot of the cards that are coming up for money are often calling us into community and thinking about how do we support people who need support right now, because so many terrible things are happening all over America and the world. And so there's, I mean, not surprised that those messages keep coming up. And I love what you were saying about, you know, receiving support or money or gifts without guilt, like just really being like, oh, thank you, and really meaning it. Um and that reminds me too. I saw this great fundraiser that's this comes out on March 1st, and this fundraiser is happening till March 2nd. If you go over to the future in Minneapolis on Instagram, they're doing an amazing um magical raffle. Lots of witchy people and magical people are raffling off like readings and books and things like that. Um so on Immaterial World, I think we're announcing that too. But I just wanted to say it's all for the rent relief fund in Minneapolis because people there are really going through it and need our support. But yeah, the Six of Pentacles is really asking you both what can you do for your community, but also if you need help, be okay with asking for it, be okay with receiving it, and see how community can just make our lives better. We have a couple of little announcements. Um, we hope that you guys are enjoying the month ahead readings. It's much more sustainable for us time-wise and also financially. And if you want to support us, there are so many ways to do that. If you want to keep us going, we have our Patreon now for$5 a month, and it's way more active. We figured out how we can sustainably show up there, which is basically answering everyone's questions and having little like chats, and you can comment on the episodes more privately there because as you might have noticed, Instagram can sometimes be a cesspool of human hatred, although it can also be a glory of warmth and sparkliness. So if you want to step away from social media, join our Patreon. We love it there. We're excited to talk to you.

Sustainability, Patreon, And Readings

SPEAKER_01 12:53

And we are also both available for readings. So you can reach me for a reading at romaniholistic.com. And where can they find you, Jess?

SPEAKER_00 13:07

Yeah, you can book with me online at jasmina von Tila.com. Also, if you happen to know of any institutions, organizations, libraries, or places that might be interested in helping us run Romana San as an archive of Romani stories, which it is. You know, it's a cultural preserving culture and heritage and um ancestral knowledge and all kinds of wonderful things through people's stories. So let us know if you're connected to anything like that or if you know anyone, or yeah, or even if you don't know those institutions, but you do feel like you have a little something to give and you don't want to be on Patreon for whatever reason, you can give any amount um monthly or as a one-time gift on our coffee uh fundraiser. It's K-O-F-I. It's in the little um credits at the end of the show. Yeah, also you it's free to share, rate us, review us, like send your favorite episodes to people you think would like them. Um, buoy us up in the comments on Instagram for visibility and to help us feel better because sometimes it's rough on our mental health.

Archiving Romani Stories Support

SPEAKER_01 14:11

Oh, yeah, I was gonna say, like, thank you everyone so much because it really is overwhelming. Like just to be on social media and then to like have to communicate with a bunch of people that hate you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

Crazy, man. Y'all have you seen have you seen the posts about Heathcliff? It was so tame, and people are so emotional about the idea that Heathcliff was very likely Romani and um Wuthering Heights, and oh my god, are people angry at us? Um, so that's just an example. Okay, y'all, it it meant the same thing back then, actually. But then I'm like get into this place where I'm like, oh, let me share more information about history, and then they lose their ever-loving minds because that's not what they want.

SPEAKER_01 14:57

No.

Social Media Strain And Solidarity

SPEAKER_00 14:58

Anyway, um, yeah, so what thank you so much to everyone who sends us sweet little messages and hearts and everything. It like it really, really helps us um emotionally. Yeah, there was something else I wanted to share. Oh, yeah. So on my other podcast, Immaterial World, that I do with Jessica Richards, we just released our first of hopefully many tarot education videos. Or the first one we did was the Seven of Cups. Go check it out at Immaterial World Pod on Instagram or on our YouTube channel of the same name or our Patreon over there as well. They're really fun and we'd love to know what you think. Very cool. Yeah, and you can of course subscribe to that wherever you get podcasts. I think that's everything. We hope you have a wonderful March. Thank you so much for being here. We're very excited to release an interview with you sometime mid-month. And let us know what you think of the episode. We love you. Let us know if this resonates with you guys.
