In this episode, I talk about how surprise endings, break ups, job loss, etc - any big unexpected change - can be absolutely amazing, a gift, and the universe redirecting us to something better.

It's possible to redirect our mindset out of misery and sadness, into celebration and opening. With surprise endings, one door is closed for us, and one million additional doors open. How miraculous is that?

Sometimes, feeling better and being excited about the future is as easy as deciding to change our own mind and our own thoughts. Say no to negative self-talk, say no to projecting negativity and awfulness into the future. Assume the best is yet to come. Life is happening FOR you, NOT to you. Assume this has been removed from your path because there is something better out there for your future .

The universe has your back - believe it, claim it, live it. You can do this! Get excited about what's next.

The Devil card in tarot shows us where we are harming ourselves, and where we are stuck in maladaptive and unhealthy loops, often tied to trauma, addiction, shame, and impulsiveness.

The Devil can also hint at dark and spicy elements of life, such as polyamory, kink, and things of that nature - though, unless otherwise indicated in the position the card is pulled in the reading, The Devil often does reference excess, lack of control, and being impulsive and intensity in ways that hurt/harm us.

The Devil is about patterns and bad vibes - unfortunately including secrets, abuse, addictions, shopping addiction, sex addiction, overspending, gambling, avoidance, cheating, manipulation, and more.

Do not ignore The Devil when this card comes up! It's a big deal. However you relate to The Devil, you can heal and work through it.

Today on the podcast, we get into the tarot! The seven of swords is one of the most important cards to pay attention to when we are getting a tarot reading, or reading tarot for ourselves. The seven of swords reveals that there is someone who cannot be trusted.

The seven of swords is a sign that there is some dishonesty in the mix. Lying, omitting information, hiding, withholding, cheating (sexually, on finances, emotionally, etc) - all of these sketchy behaviours can be present when we pull the seven of swords.

It's an important card; when it comes up, it brings a very serious message. Ignore the message of the seven of swords at your own risk and your own peril - somebody is lying to you, or hiding something from you.
