Lonely Planet Travel Tarot • First Physical Unboxing with Jeff Hinshaw (Cosmic Cousins)

In this video, I share the very first physical unboxing of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot Deck — a project years in the making, born from global collaboration, ritual intention, and a deep love for tarot, travel, and astrology. This reveal is intentionally recorded at the Scorpio New Moon, with a powerful chart guiding the moment. As an Aquarius Rising with Scorpio ruling my 10th House of public offerings, the cosmos nudged me to share this unveiling with you. The deck itself releases during the Aquarius Solar Eclipse (Feb 17, 2026), aligning with humanitarian, collaborative Aquarian themes woven throughout the project. 🌍 Unboxing the Deck The deck arrives plastic-free and beautifully crafted—large, sleek, tactile, and immediately evocative. Each card merges traditional tarot archetypes with world travel destinations and astrological correspondences. The guidebook includes spreads like The Compass, Sovereign Self, Treasure Map, and more—inviting you, the reader, into a global journey of self-discovery. You’ll see my first impressions of: – The Fool (Gower Peninsula, Wales / Uranus) – The Magician (San Francisco / Mercury) – Judgment (New York City / Pluto) – The Empress (Kyoto / Venus) And from the Minor Arcana: – Five of Cups (Black River, Jamaica / Saturn in Scorpio) – Eight of Cups (Vancouver Island, Canada / Jupiter in Scorpio) – Ten of Swords (Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve in New Zeland/ Uranus in Aquarius) – Eight of Wands (Twentynine Palms, California / Jupiter in Aries) – Three of Wands (Cappadocia, Turkey / Mercury in Sagittarius) Throughout, I share stories, symbolism, and some of the serendipitous synchronicities that shaped the creative process. Scorpio New Moon Ritual During the recording, I light three chaparral-infused candles (harvested and crafted with lunar timing) in honor of the 3 of Wands as the cover of this tarot deck. A candle each for: 1. Clarity, Insight & Healing 2. Planetary Healing / World Peace 3. Prosperity for all who work with the deck This deck is truly a love letter to humanity—championing connection, diversity, travel, and global belonging. 📅 Release Dates & Events – US Release: February 17, 2026 – Australia: First week of February – UK: Second week of February I'll be hosting in-person gatherings in Southern California, Northern California, and NYC during release week (Feb 20–22, 2026).
