And wow, the death card. We got to ring the bell because that is your superpower card. Okay. And I think that your superpower right now is realizing that life is going to change. This is the death card. Now, it's supposed to be scary, right? But what it really means is simply change. The nature of nature, the fundamental force of the universe, change is happening right now as we speak. Even though in this moment feels like everything's pretty consistent, right? My cards aren't flying off the table and you know the walls of this room aren't uh crumbling down. Um it feels as if the moment is static, but when we look at our past, we can see that wow, I've I'm different than I was 20 years ago. let me assure you. Um, and life was a lot different even yesterday than maybe it was today.

So, I feel like your superpower right now is realizing, okay, things are going to change. Things are not going to stay how they are. I'm not going to stay how I am. I think that's something that a lot of people don't always think about is how different I will be tomorrow or a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, see 10 years from now, maybe. Um, most of us can look at the past and say, "Yeah, I'm different than I was in high school." I mean, yeah. Uh, I look at my old yearbook photos. Um, but to think to project that into the future and say, "I'm going to be different in a year from now." A lot of us don't really think of that. We say kind of this is who I am now. You know, uh, and so I think your superpower is that recognition that everything is changing. And it really is the acceptance of that and the awareness of that kind of gives you some stability in your life oddly enough. Right?

Let's put this into a little bit of context. This is a very interesting way to begin. I like that it is your superpower card. Here we have a seven of wands, three of cups. We have ah yes, the prince of swords in the background. This is fixed air energy. This is telling me that yes, in the past this is a let's say a fixed personality. This is like I'm anchored in my identity, who I am, what I'm about, why I'm here, what I'm made of, your beliefs and your values. Right? This is a a mind that is fixed. And so what I'm guessing is that you're very aware that your you your personality is changing. Your beliefs might be changing what you're in what you think and feel and what you want and who you think you are is changing. Okay. I don't feel like you believed the thing same things in the past that you believe now and sort of extrapolating that to the future. Oo, look at that Empress. Yes. I So I feel like the who you see yourself as in the future is changing. Okay. I think this is the realization that life is not going to stay put.

Now the the beauty of this spread so far is that the death card isn't saying things are going to make a change for the worse but that things can make a change for the better you know and I think that really is the hope and even maybe some optimism and some guidance some clarity of this beautiful star card and so it's saying that look things aren't going to always be the struggle that they are now things are going to get better things are going to get softer things are going to get more lovely. Okay, let's keep going. I love this already.

Here we have the queen of pentacles, three of pentacles, two of cups, that love, and the ace of wands. The Ace of Wands is kind of like that encouragement or that vision or that like even just that fiery initiative and that will, you know, and right now it may feel like you're you're struggling against something that we don't feel quite in control of. Okay, that seven of wands kind of showing that like you're you're pushing against something, you're defending yourself against something, you're standing your ground. It kind of feels like it's a it's a reactive force, right? that we're responding to something that's coming in from the world. And then the Ace of Wands is kind of like we feel like we're in control again. Okay. So, this may be that yes, change is happening and you are doing your best to navigate the way your life is changing. I think your life is is um ultimately changing for the better through these struggles that you're facing right now.

Okay, let's select our mystery card, bonus card, confirmation card. This is a random card from the Smith Weight Tarot. This is the factor infinite and unknown. We're going to set it down right over here with big red ant right on top. We're not going to look at that card until the very end. It will tie everything together and it will give us the confirmation we need at the end of the reading. If at any moment during this message you feel like you might know what that card is, put your prediction in the comments right below the video. We got to use our intuition. got to exercise it, you know.

Before we look around the room though, we're going to take a look at a spirit animal card. You have the wonderful turkey spirit. Give with gratitude and grace. Okay. Give with gratitude and grace. The turkey spirit giving, right? Kind of feels like a sacrifice, right? It feels like we're being very generous with ourselves. And I think that is a big part of this reading, too. Just looking at the the two and three of cups and even the empress energy is a very generous energy and even the three of pentacles shows that we're kind of like we're generous with our our resources. We're we're showing a lot of gratitude and a lot of love and we're being very generous. Give with gratitude and grace. Give your time, effort, energy, money, space, and spirit to life to, you know, the world around you. I think you're in service to the world and you are you're willing to do hard things. You're willing to face the sometimes difficult changes of life in in such a way that they're they're going to kind of change in your favor. Okay. I think you're nudging the river a little bit. I think gratitude is a wonderful way to nudge the river. Give with gratitude and grace. Let me know your thoughts and feelings about the turkey.

Um, as we look around the room here, we see of course 1, two, three major arcana cards. Okay, this is literally the hope that change is for the better. Okay, the major arcana tell the sort of spiritual story, the karmic story in your life. And literally to simplify the reading, this is the hope that the changes will be for the better. Life is changing for the good of everybody, for the good of you. Of course, we have fire and fire. Okay, this is the way that we're sort of struggling for control. We're trying to get a handle on this process of change. We're trying not to be like thrown down on the ground and stamped by change. We're just kind of kind of the seven of wands. We're trying to hold on, you know, while life changes. Yeah, we've got some really good water energy, of course. We have our air card here and we've got some really nice earth energy here.

So, I do feel like the um the prince of swords here in the background, this is usually a strategy uh some kind of um in the past, right? Feeling like you had the most accurate and the most useful thoughts and beliefs and values and you made all the right choices in the past, right? This was a plan that you had. this was a strategy that you were operating by. And I think that what's happening with that seven of wands is we feel like that's out the window. We feel like life is happening that's kind of making me rethink the plan that I had or the the strategy that I was operating with, right? Um and so I think that something isn't quite going according to plan for you. And I think it's kind of saying that you're you're changing. Your mind is changing. Your beliefs, your values are changing. Your sense of who you are is changing. And something might be challenging your identity in a way. And so it's interesting that that death card is your superpower card. And so I think it's you realizing, okay, life is not going the way I thought it was going to go. The things that I once believed in, the things that I once valued, who I thought I was, my plan for my life is not the same way it was in the past. And that's kind of that's okay. That's more than okay. That's like that's the way life goes. The fundamental force of the universe, right? Recognizing that we are not who we were yesterday and accepting that and and embracing who we're turning into. making sure that the person that we are growing into right having hope that our the way we are changing that your personal changes are for the better that you're growing and evolving in a way that is going to be beneficial to you and to the world around you and to your life you're becoming the best version of yourself and your life is becoming the best version of your life even though yes the death card is very challenging right so we we've got some really nice um really nice cards here for you. And I really love this fundamental force of the universe. And very often it's slow, steady change. It's kind of like in this moment everything might feel static, but when I look at who I was yesterday, I can see that wow, I'm different. And when I look at, you know, who I'm hoping to be tomorrow, what what your life is is um is going to look like tomorrow, I think you're able to look into the future here and think life is going to be good. Life is the things that you're doing now are making your life better. You see, and so I think that's that really is your superpower is your ability to embrace transformation. You know, life is renewing itself here and things are falling away and new chapters are beginning. You're becoming somebody different. This is that card of kind of um of evolution. You know, I think that you're, you know, there are things that you're outgrowing in life. I think that maybe there is a particular chapter in your life that might be ending and you're kind of honoring that rather than fighting against it. Of course, we we do look at the seven of wands and think, well, maybe you're fighting against the process of change. Yeah. And so, I think this is really the message of spirit and the universe saying, don't fight the changes that are happening. Embrace them. Kind of parlay them into profit, into benefit, into progress, into success, into love, into an empress life. Okay? Because these are changes that you cannot prevent.

So, I can look at these two cards and think like, you know, we're trying to slow down death. We're trying to to inhibit the process of change. I don't want to get older, right? But we can't stop the process. We can maybe slow it down, right? I can use I can put lotion on my face so I can stay youthful. Um, and we can do things that will slow down the process of change. But we're all changing, right? And so I'm at that point in my life where I'm like starting to feel like I'm getting older now. You know, I'm kind of in that midlife point and it's like, wow, like I'm not I'm not who I was in my youth, but I'm not quite old man Paul yet either, right? Even though sometimes I feel like it. And um well, I hope that you'll be uh you know um subscribed to this channel long enough to see me grow into old man Paul. Um and then we can all look back at this reading and think, "Yeah, life changed." And despite exercising and trying to eat right and taking care of myself and drinking a lot of water, which I'm trying to do more of that, um, I'm going to change. Life is going to change. This channel is going to change. You know, the people around me are going to change. The things that I'm doing, the things that I'm interested in, your beliefs and values, your personality is going to change. Okay? In symbiotic relationship with the changes that are happening out in the world. the world changes and then I sort of respond to that. The world responds to me and pretty soon in a year from now everything's going to be different. Okay.

So I feel like this is really about you embracing change. Whatever changes are taking place in your life whether it's just kind of these you know personal changes some things are falling away new things are growing. Well that's the Empress. The Empress understands that in the garden some things have a very limited life cycle. Some plants only last a week and then they die. Well, okay, they have to die. They nurture, nourish the soil and new things grow. See, the Empress card is not just life is growing, growing, growing, growing, growing. It's not a garden that's just getting really cluttered with life. This is mother nature. This is the card that says, I know that things have to fall away in their natural cycles and other things have to grow. That's kind of the death card, too, right? things are being returned to the soil. They enrich the soil so that new things can grow and new abundance can be here. That's the organic nature of the Empress card. Okay. So, I feel that like you know you're you're going through this process of slow steady change. It may feel like in this ongoing process of change some things happen faster, some things happen much on much slower cycles, right? for longer cycles. Um, I feel like you're you're able to let go of things that you know are done, old habits, old fantasies, old jobs, old relationships, old patterns of thought and feeling and behavior, right? Anything that you kind of in the moment we feel is static and fixed, right? Fixed air. I think with the seven of wands, you're learning to just let go of those things that nothing is is really that fixed or we should not be so fixed that we cling to these habits, jobs or relationships or fantasies or beliefs or values uh or mindsets. Okay, cling to our identity or cling to our personality because nothing is that fixed. So this is kind of saying like it puts us at odds. We're too rigid. puts us at odds with the universe because we're trying to stay the same when of course we see the death card and we say well things are evolving things are changing I got to change too I got to evolve with the times a little bit um so this card is yeah about kind of letting go of things that aren't here anymore that that don't belong here endings are how life creates room for the new okay what is trying to be born in the space where or those other things have sort of given up their life and and have you know returned to the soil so to speak. Life renews itself right through these necessary endings and so I think you know there is a new chapter that is evolving for you. I think this is the card of kind of like embracing that. So it's kind of like something is changing. Maybe now's the time for you to sort of harmonize with that process of change and clear out that old drawer in the in the kitchen or something, right? Or it's maybe it's finally time for me to to get rid of all those old clothes that are just keeping uh that are cluttering up my closet that I know I'm never going to wear again. And so I think for me that's a really big thing is is the wardrobe, right? uh that I have a lot of clothes still that I know I I need to go through my closet because I have a lot of clothes that are tied to an old identity and I'm not going to fit into those clothes again. And even if I could, I don't feel like I'd want to wear those clothes anymore. So, it's kind of been on my to-do list to bag up those clothes and take them to the um you know to the Goodwill or to the uh you know the thrift store or something like this to donate them. But I haven't done it yet. Okay. And I think part of that is the resistance to kind of clinging to that old identity. It's like, well, I really I enjoy who I was when I used to wear that shirt or that beanie or those pants or and um so I was like, I'm not really ready to get rid of that or let go of that younger version of me. Um, you know, but uh I think it's it's kind of time and that's I think what what we're doing here. So, we're cleaning out that whatever that is that belongs to that old version of us. Yeah.

And with the seven of wands here, I think this is us really trying to not fight against it. I think that you are you know going through the various challenges of life right now and you're trying to take you're trying to maintain some sense of control. Okay. So in a way this is kind of you standing up against the death card and and holding your position and um you know and being very defensive. But I think at the same time this is saying how can I work with this death card energy? How can I harmonize with this? Because it may feel that the death card comes through and we end up losing control of ourselves, losing control of life and just changes are happening that I can't prevent. Okay. So then it's like ah I've got no control. Then we try to fight against it, right? Which is that seven of wands. Maybe the seven of wands can be I'm going to work with this energy, you know, I'm going to show courage by rolling with life, you know, and I think yes, I think nudging the river in a particular way that that we can kind of guide things toward a very successful and abundant harvest of the Empress card. So, [clears throat] whatever is happening in your life, it may feel like it is we're at odds with something. Okay, that's obviously the seven of wands. You see the six harmonious wands in the background and then we're that central wand that's just trying to bang our head against a wall. It's kind of us against the world. It feels like it's me fighting against everything out there. And so I think it really is kind of a a harmonizing that needs to take place where it's just like, okay, these things are happening. How do I have to respond to life? You know, um things are changing at work, let's say, right? Maybe they're like they're restructuring. I remember when I one of my old jobs they started changing the way they were paying us. I used to be out in the field driving. You know, they changed the way they were paying us field agents and um uh you know we we could fight against that. We can say no, we don't like this new pay structure. That wasn't going to help. We voiced our opinions, but management said that's the way we're doing it. You know, it was some medical stuff I was doing. And um you know so we basically had to accept the changes that were happening and say how do we parlay this into profit? How do we make this work for us? How do we accept this and utilize this in a way that's going to still give us the you know the the income that we needed right and um and eventually once we stop fighting against this I think the first thing is really acceptance. I think the mystery card probably going to be the hanged man. Yeah. Uh maybe the wheel of fortune though too. So I I feel that this is that acceptance. This is um kind of like responding to the changes that are taking place in a way that's protecting you the best you can and also trying to harmonize with this change so we can roll with it and we can parlay it into um into success and harvest and profit and abundance that we see right here.

Okay. Now, the three of cups underneath the surface, this is your feeling really of like of gratitude. This is your feeling of love. This is kind of an inner joy, right? This is a a celebration energy, an emotional overflow. I feel that, you know, maybe as you accept the changes that are happening in your life, it gives you some hope or some optimism for the future. Makes me feel like, okay, yeah, things aren't staying the same. Things are evolving. Well, what if this is a good thing? you know, and I think that's obviously your superpower, your ability to accept the inevitable changes in ourselves. And it it's kind of like I'm looking forward to be old man Paul, you know? Um I'm looking forward to the way uh this channel and and my YouTube career is going to grow and change and evolve over time. I don't see you're being scared of that. I feel like you're celebrating that. I feel like to you it's saying it's good news, you know. Um, and I think that it's it's allowing us to have a gratitude, an optimism, positive thinking, uh, positive feeling, positive expression, good vibes, man. You know, that are going to pretty much attract that harvest, that empress energy to you. Anyway, if we're all negative Nellies about change, we expect change to be terrible and we're pessimistic and we're scared of change, then yeah, when change happens, it's probably going to be bad, right? Because we have that confirmation bias. So, why not hedge your bets? Bias yourself toward harvest, abundance, beauty, comfort, joy, growth, and all this stuff here. Might as well. What's it going to hurt to be positive? If it helps, good, right? I'd rather I'd rather um be optimistic and be grateful and be be hopeful and be excited about the future just in case it actually makes a difference, you know. Uh and I think that's that's you. I think that you're a very positive person. Okay. I feel that you are very grateful for what you ha what you have in your life and very grateful even for what's leaving your life you know very thankful for the experience very thankful that we get to be here alive experiencing change okay and so this is kind of um celebrating change this is a celebration of life you know and I think that it's uh it's your your instinct to connect with people, especially when things are changing, we're going to want to be closer. We're going to, you know, I want someone's hand to hold sometimes, right? I want to when things change, uh, we want to be closer to the people that are around us. You know, when over the holiday break, my whole family was sick. We all had the flu. We were all in bed, laid up for a week. From Christmas Eve to New Year's Day, we were flu flued out, right? Um, [clears throat] it's something like that tends to bring people closer together. And I think this is specific to you, Scorpio, in your life, but I feel like anyone who's hearing this is going to benefit from this. There are things that are happening in the world right now that are devastating and frustrating and um very upsetting, right? But let it bring us closer together. We have to try to be thankful and grateful and positive and and use this as an opportunity to get closer together with our communities, friends, family, our peers, um you know, younger and older generations of people. Use it to bring us together, closer into a stronger sense of community. Okay? And I feel like this is that optimism. This is that wish. It's kind of like saying I'm I'm putting my positive vibes out there that that my life is getting better that I'm I'm hopeful for the future. Whatever is taking place for you, this is the gratitude and grace of that turkey. Got to be the turkey, you know. Um and I can see that the turkey maybe is a little naive. The turkeys are over there being very gratitude uh very gracious and graceful with this intense sense of gratitude to the farmer. It's kind of a naive turkey, right? Thinking, well, we know how that story ends with the turkey, don't we? And yet the turkey is there being infinitely grateful and blessed and saying, "I'm thankful for my life. I'm thankful for everything." And maybe that's it. Maybe it's kind of like Don Juan in Carlos Castanada and the idea of death as our adviser. Okay, we kind of all know that one day, right, we're all going to be the turkey. Yeah. And so given that fact, we can either be pessimistic and hopeless about life and upset and sad and scared and and really resist that process or we can say, "Hey, you know what? We're all going to go at some time. At least I think most of us here are mortal, right? Um at least [clears throat] in this human incarnation, right? Um so why not enjoy the [clears throat] heck out of this ride? Why not get our kicks before the whole house goes up in flames, right? Shout out to Jim Morrison. Rest in power. Unless you believe he's alive in Africa somewhere. I don't know. I'm not sure. But to me, that's the three of of cups. This hopefulness, this belief. I'm choosing to be in love with life and I'm choosing to believe that things are going to improve, things are going to um evolve in a way that's going to be okay for me, beneficial to me in a way that is going to u uplift me and I'm going to grow and I'm going to evolve with life and life's going to get better and better and better, softer and more in love, you know, and so

We talked about the prince of of swords already. And so I I think that it's kind of letting go of those old things that we were clinging to. The star really is the star of the show here because this is that guidance. This is that belief in in faith really in something that's greater than we are. It's kind of like saying, well, you know what? I don't I don't kind of always like how things are changing, but there's some force in the universe that's smarter than me. There's some force in the universe that kind of sees the bigger picture more than I do. I'm limited to whatever these two eyes and the third eye can perceive my level or degree of enlightenment at this point in time. But there's something out there that just kind of knows everything. Yeah. Whether you believe in God, goddess, deity, or universal mind, universal energy, spirit guides, guardian angels, ancestors. Okay. The absolute. Maybe you feel like the universe is a cold and indifferent place. Nevertheless, this is that idea that we are being guided by something of a I don't know of a more a more universal nature, I guess. But this anyway is the card of hope, the card of guidance. This is the card of healing. Okay? And I think that you're acknowledging and you're receiving this signal from the universe, right? from source, from spirit, whatever you want to call it. You're receiving this signal that's giving you the clarity, the hope, and the guidance that's saying your future, your healing, your life is evolving in a way that is good for you. Okay? So you're allowing yourself to be hopeful and optimistic and even excited and even very thankful for the future that we have, you know, and saying I'm I'm embracing the future. I'm excited about it. Okay. So the star card is that sort of destiny, that feeling of like we're being guided in our life. And it's that it's that that trust that faith, the hope, and the trust that we have in the universe, that you have in the universe that's telling you to keep going. You're on the right track. It's not necessarily optimism. It's your soul recognizing that you have a path forward. You know, that there is healing, there is growth, there is abundance and harvest in your future. Okay? So, we're going to behave in a way that is consistent with our faith and our trust and our when I say faith, it doesn't have to be a religious faith. Maybe you're not a religious person, but religion is a way of you linking yourself, right? I think Joseph Campbell said that the I don't know the Latin maybe, but linking yourself with something greater than you are. Linking yourself with your star. Okay, maybe you consider it your true self. Maybe you consider it your conscience or your higher mind. Okay, whatever terminology, whatever the vernacular, you're on the right track. Okay, you're following that star. And I think you're behaving in a way that is consistent with this faith. Okay, you're doing things that feel simple and clean and kind and nurturing. Um, I think you're someone also likes to spend time outdoors. Am I right?

I believe you are in the future position. Empress energy. Of course, this is the future that we're looking forward to. This is what we're choosing to believe is there for us. And of course, I think that it is. I think that's why we're getting this card here because it's saying that look, there is uh f there is fertility in your future. There is pleasure. There is a wave of abundance and comfort that you're flowing toward. Your life is going to be softer and easier and more supported. There are things in your life that haven't started growing yet. Seeds that have been planted long ago that are going to start bearing fruit. Even if you're saying, "Well, oh, my to my tomato plant died." Yeah, but you have all these other plants that are just now starting to grow. Okay. Relationships, projects, uh self-care, things that you know, things that are happening around you in life that are going to be opportunities for you. Okay. I think you're also putting in your effort, choosing not to resist the death card, to resist the process of change, but to harmonize with it. And therefore, you're doing things that are going to make life more beautiful. Right? You're kind of you're rolling with that steady flow of change. And you're saying, "Well, I'm going to choose to do things that are uplifting. I'm going to choose to make life more beautiful." Even though we know that life is finite in our relative sense. Okay. But I think it also inspires you to do something that's going to is going to live beyond you. You know, doing something that is for everybody that is kind of like greater than you, bigger than ego. Okay. I think that um you know moreover this is your life becoming becoming better greater enrichment. This is um more harvest more abundance. Okay. I feel like in a way this is you reassuring yourself that the changes that are happening in life are going to benefit you. I don't feel like you're afraid of the future. I think that you know that things are growing. I think you feel the love and I think that your life is expanding. Okay? Because you're willing to harmonize with that. You're willing to to accept th those inevitable changes. Even if we feel like we're losing control, I feel like you have more control than you think. We can't change the death card. We can't change the process of change. Okay? But you can take control over how you think and feel and the vibes that you're putting out and your behaviors in the universe, your response to the process of change. Okay? Rather than you being so rigid that's saying this is who I am, this is my life. This is what I think and believe. The death card is saying hold my beer. Okay? And so you're realizing, okay, I don't have a choice but to allow myself to evolve. And so this is absolutely beautiful.

Now, before we talk about the path of the serpent, I would like to ask for your subscription. If you haven't subscribed, please do. I want you to be around to see how everything evolves and to see old man Paul, you know, 10, 20 years from now. Hopefully, I'm still doing readings for you. Yeah. I guess that's kind of up to you, though, isn't it? Yeah.

Anyway, we're going to do an oracle of manifestation for you. And you have lunar magic. Ah, interesting. Lunar magic. Connect with the natural cycles of the moon to attract what you want. I sync with nature. This is nature. And what I say about the death card, it's the fundamental force of the universe. It's the nature of nature. This is nature. Mother nature, right? This is nature. That's the nature of nature. Change. Change equals stability. Things have to die for new things to grow. You're sinking with nature. You're sinking with the nature of nature. And you're con and that sync, that synchronicity, that synchronizing, right, is allowing you to attract what you want. Absolutely. The perfect card. I sync with nature. Put that in the comments for me, please. Everybody, if you're claiming this reading, I sync with nature.

and the Queen of Pentacles. Looking at the past, looking at the long and winding road of life, the twists and turns, the ups and downs, the spiral road that is our life. Looking at that, looking at the past and seeing just how different things were. This is you sitting in abundance, sitting in amidst the harvest, right? This is you sitting in the future looking at the past and thinking I'm in a better place now than I was 5 years ago, 10 years ago. Okay? And maybe, you know, we can't say I'm in a better place than I was yesterday. No, because maybe we're still in some other part of that phase. But this is your ability to look back over the course of your life and see how freaking far you've come. Okay? This is you looking at life and thinking, I changed. I grew. Things evolved. There were twists and turns. There were ups and downs. Oh, it's a story to tell. But look where I am now. You know, um, look where you are now compared to, you know, 5 years ago, 10 years ago. So this is that that feeling now of like what sense of safety and care and nourishment is your life providing you now in the middle of because it feels static, right? Like I said, it kind of in in this moment it feels like nothing's changing. So it's kind of acknowledging what's around us in our environment right now. What's the comfort and the care and the love that I see and feel and experience and that I give graciously? What is the the nature of this static moment? Okay. And then the ability to look at the past and see all the static moments along the road. It's like we just set little markers down along the way. And so we can kind of see we can well now we have phones with our pictures in it, right? So we can kind of like we can look at where we were a year ago by just scrolling through our photos and finding last year's photos. uh and sometime I don't know Facebook where you get the memories right where you can see well what was I doing this time last year so just a way of seeing that like if we harmonize and we sync with nature things tend to work out in a way that is prosperous for us okay this is resourcefulness this is an earth wisdom so it very much is to me it's very much the same as the empress card this is nature this is you really living in sync with nature to me the empress is water and earth this is the queen of pentacles, water of earth. It's that combination and it almost someone pointed out the other day that water and earth equals mud. Yeah, I guess it does it. It to me it and where do you what do you do when you like water plants? You make mud, right? You pour water on the dirt. It makes mud, but it nurtures and nourishes whatever is growing through that. It's the lotus, right? Growing out of the mud. We have to make mud. Mud is the only way to do anything, right? We can construct things out of mud. Mud is where seedlings and plants and sprouts love to live. Yeah. A lot of life um grows in the mud. Um different kinds of mud, I guess. Anyway, you know, but this is, you know, this is like um this is you existing in a place where you feel cared for. um where there is food, there is home, there is rest, there is an environment that is comfortable and warm. Okay, this is a life that is supportive of your goals. It's organized. It's it's functional, but it's it's also cozy, you know. And I think this is you feeling supported, feeling that the universe kind of has my back. The universe is offering some support underneath my feet. Um in the midst of all this change, you feel steady. Okay. I think you're a very creative person. I think you have very practical skills. I feel like you've got a lot of resources that are available to you. I think that this is you prioritizing stability, comfort, home type of energy. Okay, this is you being the kind of mother, right? Mother Earth, uh, mother nature, mothering your own life and thinking, okay, if the empress, if the nature of nature is change, then if I'm this empress embodiment, then the nature of me has to be changed, too. And my changing is what is is what is allowing me to feel that stability of any given moment because I'm willing to change, right? So, this is the universal mother nature card. This is you embodying the mother nature of en mother nature energy. So what's really really cool here I don't I don't know if anybody else feels as excited about this as I do but um [clears throat] if if change is the nature of nature then change has to be the nature of you if you are identifying with this empress card. Do you see what I mean? Because this to me is the empress embodiment. So change is the nature of both of these. So this is about you be being open and receptive to how you are changing as a person. We can't be so rigid and fixed because then we're not going to grow. We're not going going to evolve. So, this is somebody that's learning and growing and changing and accepting what my body is doing and trying to be as supportive of my life as I can. And um realizing that we have more stability when we're willing to change how we think and feel about things. Willing to accept that what I was interested in a year ago is different now. What I care about now is changed than it was a year ago. My life 10 years ago was vastly different than it is now. Okay? And if we're not willing to to roll with that, we're going to be at odds. We're not going to be in sync with nature. We're going to be at odds with nature. And then the death card is going to be scary and we're going to be pessimistic and we're going to feel hopeless. So this is you mothering being being the mother nature of your life, you know, and um and and focusing on um growth and making your life liveable and and being very practical, but also realizing that your life is sacred, knowing what to prioritize, changing, allowing your your personality to change, allowing your identity to change. Maybe it's like you how you earn money is changing and your living situation is changing and things are growing, things are evolving across the board. Okay.

The three of pentacles is your um your ability to really be generous with your time, effort, energy, money, and space. This is the blood, sweat, and tears that we're willing to put into our life. And of course that is also uh an aspect of the empress card because the empress is the one who gives gives gives gives gives always making sacrifices right and we see that pelican in the corner there which will slash open its chest in order to feed its young of its own life force right and so that's kind of representative um um of your your willingness to put in work your willingness to do the hard things. And especially as life is changing around you, this is you being willing to cooperate with that. Changes are happening at work. You could be the stubborn one that says, "No, I refuse. I'm not going to change how I think and feel about anything." Or this is you saying, "Okay, this is things are changing at work. I need to get on board and figure out how I can harmonize with this because it's in your best interest, you know, and so this is work. This is effort. This is collaboration and this is the effort you're putting into something that is going to build this wonderful abundant future of yours. We could be stubborn and resistant and say no, I refuse to participate. I refuse to uh to work with anybody. I refuse to get along. You know, um this is you putting in that effort. This is you collaborating with people who do kind of complement your strengths. Okay. This is your willingness to to grow and adapt to understand the potential of a situation. You're improving your skills. Um you are um you're you're you're devoted to progress. Okay? And the work that you're doing is shaping the world, right? This is your intentional action that you're going to keep hammering away at life, you know, at the work that you're doing, at what you're growing and what's what's building here. But it's not a resistance to to change. It's you working in harmony with that. And so it's even if it's a physical thing, it's understanding that our our bodies are changing and we have to adapt to that. And that might mean that it sort of changes the way we uh the way we kind of uh expend you know effort and energy in our lives. Okay. So something is changing that's requiring you adapt to it and I don't I don't know what you know um let's say you really you really like playing music. Okay. But something has happened in life and you can't play music the same way that you used to. This is about you now finding new ways to stay devoted to that purpose by adapting to these inevitable changes. Does that make sense? Um, you know, and it's it's not just physical changes, but I think it's it's a lot of things. Relationships are changing. Um, but this is you working with the process of change in order to nudge the river and to kind of nudge that process of change in a way that is going to be beneficial to you in the long term.

The two of cups uh is love. The two of cups is really kind of the fear, worry, and concern. If we had one, the fear would be that, you know, we're not going to get these good days. Like look at the look at the weather here. Blue skies, calm seas. That means heart and mind are [snorts] tranquil. This is a beautiful day. And the air obviously is the mind and the water is the heart. This is us feeling connected and in love with life to the point where the changes that are taking place don't disturb me mentally and they don't upset me emotionally. that at the at the underneath all of it, there's love. Yeah. Underneath it all, it feels as if the universe loves us. It feels as if we're being supported. There's a reciprocity here. And it's almost a uh an unspoken agreement that we have with the universe that says, you know, kind of like scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, you know, um that there is this reciprocity, there is this chemistry. It's almost I think really ultimately it's you identifying with the Empress. It's you saying okay if the nature of nature is change and if I'm this if I'm the same as this Empress card then then then my nature has to be changed too. And so this is you really feeling this spiritual union in your life being fully present in your life. Okay. I think that it's a relationship between you and life. Yeah. Nature and the nature of nature that is being highlighted here. And I think that this is kind of that unspoken agreement between us and the universe that says like, you know, we're going to do this together and we have to um we have

To have this bond. There is this, there is a union. And there's chemistry here, you know, um, and it's harmony and it's us, um, choosing to be in a partnership with life rather than feeling isolated. It's us aware that there is love and there, and it's not just this kind of universal thing, but I think it's with just people, you know, um, giving with gratitude and grace, choosing to be kind, choosing to be supportive, choosing to strengthen those relationships, um, that, um, that sort of resonate with us and make more of those resonant relationships. So, it's not just focusing on those people that you already have in your life and making those relationships better, but being open to accepting new people and new things and new opportunities, okay? Having a bias toward love and connection rather than a bias toward fear and suspicion and all that sort of thing. Yeah.

The Ace of Wands that we have at the end, this is you regaining the sense of control. This is you feeling as if, um, there's a renewal of energy. It feels like life is exciting. It feels like we're not scared of change. We're not like trying to avoid it or hide from it. We're feeling it as a chance for us to to do something new. We feel like a spark of motivation here. This is like the awakening of a creative force. And this is important because there is something in you that seeks seeks expression. And, um, I think that this again is kind of like this excitement for the future that, yeah, things are changing, but instead of being scared and pessimistic and hopeless, where you're seeing this process of change as like, I get to do something new, I get to explore a new place, I'm motivated, all right? I'm saying yes to life and, um, seeing seeing change as opportunity rather than like than than punishment.

Okay, let's look at the mystery card. I know this is a long, long reading. Um, I sync with nature. I expect a six of something here. I think a six of wands, really, right? We're harmonizing with the process of change on the spiritual plane. If you have a prediction, put it down in the comment section. Okay, let's look at it together. Ah, the eight of wands, change is happening fast. Um, and I think that this is really like, um, I think again, this is excitement. The eight of wands is like things, life is happening fast. Things are really moving quickly here. Maybe it feels like changes are starting to, we're starting to notice a lot of changes happening in the moment, right? Where we kind of said like the moments feel static, but when we look back, we can see, oh wow, I really changed a lot from a year ago. I feel like this is you really participating in life and being involved in the moment and like, you know, seeing these opportunities and and not hesitating. This is like we're not, we're not reluctant, you know, we're not hesitating. You're awake and you're responsive and you know, um, you're like, you're making the phone calls. You're sending the emails. You're taking these opportunities without delay. Okay.

Um, you're making decisions that are anticipating a positive future. Okay. The hesitation, the death card. Oh, things are changing. I don't know what I should do yet. I'm going to do nothing. I'm going to wait, wait, wait. No, I feel like this is you saying, you know what? Things are going to work out in my favor. I'm going to make decisions that are kind of betting on that. I feel like you are betting on your future. And then this is like, I'm going to start doing these things, making these decisions. I'm going to keep this energy flowing fully expecting that it's going to, there's going to be a positive future here. Okay? Because if we kind of are pessimistic and we think the future's going to be terrible, well, then what's the point of doing anything? And I might as well just put everything, put the wands down and just not be involved. Yeah. When you're in doubt, right? I feel like you're confident in your future. You're thinking the things are going to go good. Things are going to grow. Things are going to be okay. This business of yours is going to work. Um, you know, whatever, whatever's going on in your life, you're betting on a positive outcome. And that's allowing you to do these behaviors, do these things that are fully in sync with this optimism that you have that your future is going to be good. So then I'm going to start, I'm going to continue to behave in a way fully expecting that positive future. Does that make sense?
