Hi, and welcome back to navigating your story with the taro archetypes. In this episode, roots and I will be discussing the full card. And the archetype of new beginnings. For any of you that are new to taro. The full card is the first card of the major Arcana. Starting with the number CRO. It is the beginning of the hero's journey. Well, you will find after listening to our discussion is an appreciation for the courage. It takes to try something new. And if this is an archetype you are currently experiencing. It is normal to be nervous. And to have those feelings of self-doubt. Trust in your knowing and trust in the universe. As you briefly walk this new territory. After all. Everything is a learning experience. And hope you find comfort in our personal stories of experiencing the full archetype. So pour yourself a cup of tea. Or a glass of wine. As you join us for our discussion. The fool is the new beginning. The fool is the, I don't know where I'm about to go, but the universe it's pulling me to go to something new. If you look at the right or right deck, there's the dog following you. And so you're being reminded to just really go with what you're feeling inspired to go do. I feel like too often in this world, we're like direct to that. We gotta be a certain way. And the fool's like, I'm just going to go my own way. Yeah. Two words that really represented the fool, it's definitely new beginnings. And like you said, roots, it, he's going your own way. And that's the part where this archetype really starts to speak to is the fool is when you choose to go your own path and start a new beginning that you really never done before. It's new territory. And if it wasn't new territory, you wouldn't be embodying the archetype of the fool. Like roots had said, when you look at the writer waits Smith card, it's this person and he's on top of a mountain and he's looking out to the valley and he really doesn't know what's ahead of him because when you're jumping into a new journey, when you're jumping into new territory and you're like, okay, I'm ready to start. This there's really no roadmap, not the very beginning. And so I just want to kind of set the tone for that, because when we're talking about the full energy tonight, it can, and I know that we'll talk about in a minute cause roots and I kind of talk about. How the card shows up with us a little bit that week, because when we're doing a card it's funny, we actually embody the card a little bit in the week and I know routes. And I'll have you share in a moment roots what you were sharing with me earlier today, but roots was like, wow, I'm really starting something new and I'm nervous. And I think along with the territory of starting something new, being on that cliff, looking out to the valley, it comes with a moment of nervousness because you've never really been there before. So REITs, do you want to share with us that energy that you were kind of going through today that you felt was kind of like the. Well, so I'm starting a new whole new business or not new business, but a new way of doing my business. What I'm offering is a series of three readings, and then I'm doing, I'm making a custom-made bracelet for that person's intentions. I'm really pushing out, this is what I'm going for right now. This is what I'm working on creating. It wasn't until last week, that idea like really got hammered in like, wow, that would make a difference. And people could really get the intention of what it is that I do with my jewelry crafting and understand more about me. Well, what that also then looked like was earlier today I had two different people. Hit me up saying that, Hey, I'm really interested in that. And I was super nervous. I was like, wait, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? But then two days ago, I just did. I just did it. And then I got to see this person literally go through this massive transformation and I was just holding the space for, I was totally just holding the space for her to get clear but it's a new thing for me. Just to be really clear and transparent and holding space for somebody, not telling them where to go, but just showing them that this is what I see. What does that show up in your life? How has that working in your life and getting them to do the heavy lifting for their own life. Knowing that there's support right there, it was, I mean, even if that sounds crazy to y'all to hear it, imagine being the person doing it. Okay. Do you think when, you know, we're starting these new beginnings and we're in new territory, at least for me, there's that more of self doubt. You're so excited. You're starting this new territory, but there's just that moment of, can I actually do this? Did I make the right choice? Because I think before the fool, you were somewhere where you were comfortable, it might not been where you want to be. It might not actually, you might not have been happy because sometimes we're in situations where we're absolutely not happy, but we're comfortable. We know what to do. We're nowhere good at it. We know what to expect and to take that risk, to start a new beginning, to go in this path, that feels right to you. it definitely comes with a moment of, Ooh, can I do this? Did I make a wrong decision? Does that happen for you? Roots? Cause that happens to me when I, I feel like you just fully described the archetype of like the beginning of the full, I just want to take a moment to acknowledge how precise you just narrowed it. So out of the audience, this is just a fun thing. If you've really had those moments where you're like, oh my God, I'm so bored with live right now. I'm doing the same thing. And that's just all life's going to be I wish there was a way for you to like, just drop an emoticon. But that's literally what the fool's energy is. It's that energy when you're no longer just staying still into this thing that you're like, I don't like this anymore. I'm so bored with this This is literally that energy. So yeah. Even earlier today, when I was talking about doing this new reading, I was still nervous. That's why I went and I shared it with you of being like, does this sound good? And she response blew me away. Yeah, it does. Like, it really does sound good. In the imagery of the way writers Smith's card, the background's yellow. If anyone's familiar with chakras, the yellow represents the solar plexus chakra. The imagery of the wait writer Smith is really, really important because it really touches upon the whole experience. It wasn't by accident that she did the background yellow. It was trying to portray that when you're starting this journey, just like what Ruth said at the beginning, you're doing it for yourself. You're doing something different from what other people have told you, you're owning your power. I think when we're growing up and we're children, all we get told is to do things to please our people. There's definitely this switch and it's not an easy switch for some people. The switch happens right in teenage years. If you're one of those like defined teenagers, you were really good at making the switch to know this is what's right for me. But if you maybe were a people pleaser, it takes a while to get to a place where you actually do start the journey of the fool and the journey is with what you want to do. It's that personal power, not someone else's power telling you, this is what you've got to do, because if that was the case, it wouldn't be a yellow background. It's you saying? I need this. And it feels right for me. And I've just got to trust myself. Such a freeing energy to now just be in your energy only you can decide what you want to be. Oh, my God. It is. So, yeah, it it's so freeing to be in your energy. I know there was a point in my life where I didn't trust my energy. I didn't really trust myself. I think that really goes back to I've written about it. If anyone goes on my Instagram or like my website, I definitely do blogs about how much I was a people pleaser and I'm a recovering one and it came for some people who aren't used to being in their energy. It can be scary at first, but once you get used to it, once you start to like, feel it more and it becomes a louder and louder. Cause I think for people pleasers and I know I keep talking about people pleasers, but I'm really just setting the stage for anyone who might be a people pleaser to feel like, oh, I'm not alone. I think when you're starting to get comfortable with your energy, if you're a people pleaser, it's really, it's really small. It's really soft. You can't quite feel it. You might feel someone else's more, there might be someone like a parent that really dominates your energy and you give your energy away to your parent more. It could be your dad. It could be maybe your mom or it could be someone else, right. It could be a partner, but when you start to hear your energy more and you be with it and it gets louder and it gets stronger and it's the one thing you feel over others it is so freeing. It's so nice. Yeah. It's like the darkest before the Dawn. Kind of energies can be brought up here because it's this reminder that, okay, so everything went really rough for a little bit, and that is what becomes the catalyst. So if anybody's had like that really rough job that you're like, oh my God, I hate this. And I'm like, why am I here? And you just go ahead and you're like, you, you throw off the apron, you throw it down on the counter. You're like, I'm done. I quit that freeing moment of when you walk out the door and you're like, I don't know where I'm going next. Fuck. Where am I going? Sorry. There is a moment. There is a moment where you're like, I don't know where I'm going and then you go, oh fuck where I got. And then from there it's like, that's the combination of the fool's energy. And it's like, oh, okay, well, you know what, what in this now moment am I excited about? Cause there's a moment in there that you are so clear that nothing else. Is impacting you only, you get to decide what your next movement is. You might have your bills and your rent and your other stuff. That's going to be due in like three weeks from now. But this, today, today, this moment, this hour only thing you have to focus on is exactly what you want to focus on. That's the frequency that the fool is, and that's why we're not always there. We'll be in it for a little bit and then we'll come out and then we'll go back in and it's all amazing, but wow. Can it be in an intense moment? That's why we don't say there very long. Do you have a personal story that you can think of when you embodied the fool? You, you were like, Ugh. Yep. The fool's happening, right. So it's funny. I was always talking about the slamming, the apron down on the counter and everything. I was actually blasted back to when I was when I was a young lad. No, it was only like 28, 29. Actually I was 29. Right. And I was really depressed. It was really sad. I didn't understand what I needed to do, what I had to do to make myself better. I threw out to the universe. I was like, look, I'm done. I don't know what I need to do or how it needs to happen or change, but I need change to happen. And I just called out and I got a magical fairy ride to go up to New York. I was in New York for over three months and it was a full the entire time. I had no idea where it was going to go from space to space. I had no concept of time. But I was just really present and growing and like learning how to be with all these different people who were very different than what I had used to, or grown accustomed to people as, as it happened, I didn't necessarily survive. So to speak in New York you know, I got spat back out, but in that time period, I grew so much because I started to learn what was needed and what was necessary. If you really have that forward direction of, this is what I want to create. I promise you in New York, you can get it done in like three days where in a lesser town, it would take you three to four months if not years. There's a thing about New York that if you just put your mind to, I want to connect with this person. Somebody will walk up. That's connected to somebody who's connected to somebody to make that exact thing that you want happen. I know I've been to New York city too. We should call it like the city of manifesting, because I feel like it's just so many different people, so many different cultures, just so many different restaurants. There's just so much stuff. Like, you'll find it. You want an underground salsa club. You'll find it. If you go to New York city, I've found the best. They called it a barefoot buggy, but it was like this astatic dance thing. I'd never been to one before. Well, I have been the one before. I think I've literally only been to one and it was the most amazing time. I looked upon meetup and boom. There was a. You know, I met somebody in the park and it was interesting. Cause like I circled around the park three times and this one person energetically for me was like, like a beam of white. And they were dressed in solid black and blue. I mean conventionally attractive person. Sure. But like, all I could see was this beaming white light and I circled around three times and then I finally just sat down near him and then I just broached the conversation. I was like, look, I know this sounds weird, but you are glowing right now. I'm sober and you're glowing. What's going on here. And he was like, dude, I've literally just been meditating for months now I've been listening to Ben Tinto Massaro and this is the work that I'm doing right now. And this is where I'm at. And we've literally talked for three hours straight on a bench in the middle of New York city. It was very well. Wow. When you said, they were wearing black, but you could just feel the light cause sometimes there could be someone who's dressed really friendly and you just don't get the right vibe. And it's so interesting. It's like never judge a book by its cover. You could have someone completely dressed in all black and you're getting the most uplifting light worker type vibe from them. I like part of your journey, which you were saying how in the end realized New York city wasn't for me, that's amazing because we get so afraid to step into the full energy of new beginning new territory, because we're so hard on ourselves if we're not super successful. And when I say that I do it in quotation marks because you were successful in that routes, your journey was to embark on something new, to meet new people, to get a new taste of life. So you did accomplish that. You didn't end up staying there. And I think for some people. Alex, they might go, oh, you know, it wasn't successful for me or I failed. Why do you think sometimes we have that mindset because your trip was an absolute success. Even though you chose not to stay you came here to learn something. To grow you accomplish that. I'm thinking of someone who might start a new job. So you're like, okay, I throw my apron down and I'm like, fuck it. I'm going to go start a new job. And then you go and try a new job out and you realize, Ooh, I don't know if that's the right career choice for me. So then you do the full again and start the next journey. People get down on themselves, like as if that was wasted time, but it's. Absolutely. It's not in fact going through the fool's journey is the best way to ever discover what is for you. Put this very simply I have done carpentry, I've done handyman stuff. I've done electrical, I've done plumbing, I've renovated a five bedroom house and Airbnb I've worked as a gourmet chef. I could keep listing off more things. But at the end of the day, I've decided that I don't enjoy those things. There's a certain thing that I get out of reading taro that lights me on fire in a way that I have seen other people dig a hole and get that much level of excitement from. The full is only encouraging us to explore what else is possible period. And finding out what actually brings you joy, what sets you on fire? You don't have to do what everybody else tells you to do. And you know, there'll be the times where we think that we have to listen to what everybody else is doing, because that's what everybody else is doing. And that's why a lot of people have those jobs. They hate and they stay there for years. And then they're like, oh, the full energy just came up. Okay. It's time for new beginning. And then they stay, keep doing the exact same thing. And then they're like, why am I so upset? No, I know. And they stay because back to the whole they're comfortable they're comfortable and. For them, that's more worth it then maybe happiness. Cause when you start the fool, you're not proficient. You're not a master because it's new territory. You are a novice you're, you're just starting. So you're going to absolutely make mistakes. That's scary to not be perfect. Right? How do you perfect and how dare you make a mistake, right? It's beginner. Mind, you have to be willing when you're in the pool, you have to be willing to be able to be the beginner mind and then just to play. Oh my God. That goes to the animal medicine that I'm going to talk about tonight, which is the beginner. Do you, do you want to segue into that and then come back to your story? I'd love to hear about some animal medicine. Let's do that. Yeah. Okay. Everyone. Something that we're going to add to our discussions on the archetypes is I'm going to bring in an animal medicine for anyone to call upon or use. And then later roots is going to talk about a crystal that would be really helpful for people who are going through the full archetype. So let me just get out my animal medicine. Okay. So the animal medicine cards that I'm using to give credit to where credit is due is called the spirit animal Oracle. I really love the stack and the medicine that I think is appropriate for tonight is porcupine spirit. The reason that I picked this medicine is because it is all about. Time for beginner mind, which is why it was a great segue when roots were saying, oh, you have to have that open beginner mind. If you're going to start that new journey, you have to be open to learning and to growing. That does sometimes come with making mistakes. So let me just read from this stack, what porcupine spirit medicine is about when porcupine spirit calls your name. You're being asked to adopt a beginner mind and to approach situations with innocence and curiosity. The old confining stories no longer have a hold on you. Life is full of surprises, hidden in plain sight. Looking at the world of fresh with new eyes can help you find. Well, you have been seeking whether it is a relationship, an opportunity or evidence that you have all you need right now to co-create what you desire, who knew porcupine asks you to be playful and have a childlike curiosity. There's so much waiting for you that you have yet to discover. What I like about that roots is even the name fool, it does have this childlike innocence to it. I actually used to be a kindergarten teacher before I became a school counselor. The best way of learning is by playing. By getting curious. As adults, we forget that we don't play anymore and playing in the sense of, we don't allow ourselves the opportunity to maybe have that playing where we're like, oh, I've never done this job before, or, oh, I've never done this type of relationship before. Let me see it as some, like a plane moment, a moment of innocence where I'm curious, and that's where the true growth in that the learning's going to come from. What would be the number one thing that you really want people to understand when the porcupine energy comes up. When a porcupine energy. The one thing I want you to understand is it's there to tell you to get out of your head, play and delay your mind be open because when we're in our heads and I'm actually thinking of human design, if anyone's into it, when you actually look at the graph, there's the head chakras. If someone has them undefined, which means they're open, they're really learning information from all the people around them. That's a really great place to be. When we're in our head and we're starting a journey on the fool and we're in our head that we know where it's going. Chances are the universe is probably going to take you somewhere different because you wouldn't be embarking on a new journey if you already knew the information. So get out of your head, let your head just really be open and get into more of that feeling with your heart. What feels right? That intuition that instinct and let your head be open to taking in things that you might not have know yet. What I'm getting from that is when you're in the full porcupine energy, it's a matter of really just being present to what's around you in such a way that you're actively kind of curious. You're ready to go and play and be Explorer stative and not have to know how everything is going to be or how it's gonna work out. Cause like, you know, the little dog there. God's always on your side and knowing that, the universe on your side, whatever framework you want to use and know that you're being supported, even in having that journey, the universe is saying, Hey, what do you really want? Knowing that's where you'll be led to, if you say, you want this type of job you might connect with somebody who's ready to help get you there. It's a matter of really opening up that's possible instead of being freaked out. That's the perfect word POS. It's possible, instead of coming from that view of limitation, it's coming from the view of abundance, it's possible. So get out of your head when you're starting the fool, the perfect medicine, and you can use porcupine medicine, but just get out of your head because those self doubts are going to come in. And really truly, when you're starting a journey, you have to have that innocence again, you have to play, you have to get curious. So my story with the fool when I was maybe 27, I, opened up at the beginning of this room about how I was a massive people. Pleaser. I came from a household where my father is a really sweet man, but he definitely had emperor energy. Ran a tight ship. This is what you do. And this is what, you know, how things go. And you really don't fear. Course. My sister went to be a teacher and when I was in high school, I really feel like we're so young to figure out what we want to be and do for a career. I really didn't know what I wanted to do. So I was like, well, my sister's a teacher. My parents really liked that idea. So that's what I'll go into. I did my undergrad graduated and I went into teaching. I got my first job as a kindergarten teacher in a public school. I did it for five years. It was fun. But it wasn't for me. And it was really interesting because in my twenties, I was really going through this change where again, people might go through in their teens, but I'm a I love calling it a recovering people pleaser. We all go on our different pace. Everyone grows differently when they're younger, everyone loses their teeth at different times. I was a late bloomer. So in my twenties, I really started to feel my power again. And I started to hear myself. For a really long time, I actually had gotten a Reiki session done. And the lady she put her hand by my ear. She's like, I hear like a really strong male voice in your ear. And I was like, oh, I know who that is. I was like, that's my. I was like, yep. That's my father. She's like, yeah. I was like, okay, I need to work on having that voice be me, you know? And that was in my twenties, so, okay. So I was again, a late bloomer and I was going through this transition where I was starting to discover me. My soul was like knocking on its door being like, you, you gotta hear me. You're following someone else's path and it's not your destiny. It's not your purpose. I had gotten my master's in school counseling and I did play it safe for everyone there. I stayed in the school kind of realm, I wasn't quite ready to leave the school system and totally shock my family. But I remember I was ready to leave my job. When you wake up and you can't get. Get excited for a whole year to go to your job. You know, you're ready to leave. This was my full moment. I told, trusted people. The people that I knew would support me because this was very risky for me. And I want to point that out there, because this is a good tip when you're about to go do something that, you know, some people are going to get nervous about because you know, they like you to play it safe. Those are not the people that you can find in. You can find in only a few people, but you can find in the people who really have your best interests for you not ones that are going to be clouded by fear and anxiety. So I told my sister and I told my husband and I was like, I'm, I'm leaving my job. I went to an interview for a school counseling job. I was going to take a pay cut, but it just, I needed. And I gave my two weeks, which was huge for me because it was in the middle of the school year. So anyone who's a teacher like don't judge me because teachers, they really harp on your good nature. So they're like, you'll make it through the whole year. I left mid-year and it felt so good. Like back to owning your power. I was like, oh my God, I feel it in me. I gave my two weeks notice. And the day before I started my new job, I texted my mom and my dad. And I said, oh, Hey, I just wanted to let you know. I start my new job tomorrow. It, you know, they were supportive. Definitely. It took my dad out. Like he was so nice. He said, good luck in your new job. And he gave me the nice tax, but it could, you could tell it took him a year to warm up to this new job, but that's okay because I was doing it for me. And I remember my mom going, well, why didn't you tell me sooner? I said to her, I said, and she was supportive of me leaving. But I said to her, I was like, when I was doing this jump, this leap of faith, this risk, I know Mike, you mom, you know, you get nervous, you get nervous when you know, people take risks and, and I needed someone that wasn't going to have me question what I was doing because already I was nervous, but I knew I had to do it. So that's my story. And that's my little tip for everyone. If you're going to go do this and you're going to start, the journey definitely can find in the people who are going to support you and keep you up at the beginning when you take that risk. And, and, you know, you actually just shared something that was really fascinating. And I just want to hit on it is that, you know, often our family. Are there to help support us as much as they can. But many of us in this generation, our parents were raised by parents who were kids who had kids who had kids. Right. So many of us we're now, like, I know, I know Nicole doesn't have a child yet. I don't have a child yet. And so we're at a different age in our development. My mom was 17 when she had me. Okay. I can only imagine what it was like to go through high school and then immediately have a child, but I've literally grown and transitioned from who I know myself to be every three months since then. But then to do that with a child that creates an entirely different paradigm. I share this in a way that it makes sense for why our parents can sometimes be very fearful and very cautious because. Any wrong step and you know, it would have been them and a child out on the street, not just them out on the street. I know. I share that in the credence that our parents want the absolute best for us always, but they don't know how to do that for us because they've got to figure out still how to do that for themselves. Yup. And that's a huge part of the growth that I actually made. Roots is when I is having compassion for that generation because you're right. We had the time to make the growth in our twenties and that generation right out of high school, they were having kids really young and that's beautiful, but it's a different growth. You hit it right on the nail we have that learning and that they're still learning that because that part of their life journey was rushed and that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and that's, that's, that's what it is. It's like, you know, and then children having children, it's just a matter of honoring us all for our different choices. And you know, my parents, like they'll, they'll profess to the Hills, come out. They love me and they support me and, you know, but when I was 16, I was supporting them and I felt like I just continue supporting them for a good portion of my life. But until I finally was just like, right now, I've got to figure out me and then I can come back to supporting them. That whole, taking care of yourself. So you can show up for others. That's new for that generation. And that's a hard thing for them. It doesn't feel comfortable. If we were to tell that generation, like my parents, like, oh, you got to take care of yourself before you can show up to us for others. That's not something they were ever taught. It's something that our generations, brought through because every generation brings through something new from the generation before. Ours brought that through. And I think they're still learning that because back to that oxygen mask, you know, you got to put it on, you got it. Yeah. I didn't even think about it being like an oxygen mask of like the. Literally put, take care of yourself for you. Take care of anybody else. And really that's again, the lesson of the fool, go dance, go be your highest self. And the fun thing is, is that it's one out of 78 cards. So that's why we're really hitting this message today is cause it's the only time that you really guaranteed. We have access to be free to figure out who you want to be and allow yourself to play in the symphony of possibility. That's really the energy and essence of the fool. If only you get out of your own way and allow yourself to play. Ooh, I like that. If only you get out of your way and you allow yourself to play. All I want to do is play all day. All I want to do is house sashay, Shantay. Hey, Hey. If someone's going through this, what would be your strategy or tip for them? What worked for you and you're going through before? Well, honestly, the biggest thing I can suggest is to remember to breathe that's why the crystal medicine for this week is I'll, Lupita light is a shown for calming. It is a stone for opening up your awarenesses, but in such a way that you're, I don't want to say detached, but you're not overwhelmed by it. It brings you into an awareness as to what's going on, what's alive for you. That's why I'm creating that as a brace of this week for the pool. Because Lapita light it, it actually contains the essence of lithium, which for anybody who's done psych or not psychedelics, but psycho medications, psych medications lithium is part of a wide variety of those substances. I love the Pitta light and roots makes amazing bracelets. Having that with you really does help you feel calm and centered while you're starting that new journey Roots is making bracelets for each of the tarot cards. So right now, roots is working on a full bracelet. So what crystals do you have on that full? I've got Lapita light Garnett black obsidian and lava rock. What that allows is for you to be present to your passions, present to your desires in this calm way, where you're able to just be with your desires. The obsidian creates this beautiful protection, energy that allows you to be encompassed in only your light. One of the things that I've found when I was wandering was that I was consistently bombarded. I, everyone else's energy in a way that it was like, whoa, yo. I didn't know how to create shields or barriers. That's why I created that piece. Honestly, most of my pieces have black of sitting in them One of the things about touching stones is that when you touch them, You can then start to really feel into their essence, especially if you're breathing into them, breathing into that conscious awareness allows for things to change. I double strand them so they're not going to break. I'm actually playing with one that I've had for like two years now. And that, that has been my main one. Like I've literally been wearing it for two years, pretty much straight. And it'll go back and forth between either arm and it's always coming on and off because I'm constantly fidgeting with it. After two years, there's like a half a centimeter of space where, you know, most bracelets would have already broken. your bracelets are indestructable. Yeah. If they last past the first process of me making it, yeah. They're going to last forever. Back to the Pitta light for anyone who is an anxious person, I have a Lapita light Palm stone, and I hold that baby. If I'm really anxious and I'm going to sleep, I even have it in my purse. If I get anxious at work, it's a really beautiful stone. It's purple. And I feel like it does help people. If someone's interested in getting your bracelets or seeing your bracelets, what do they have to do? You could just go to. Instagram and soon enough I'll have this one posted. My page is present moment alignment and you can pretty much find me on most places on my platforms with present moment alignment. I think I'm on Tik TOK and Instagram and Facebook with that name. I'll be posting it everywhere. Definitely check out his bracelets. Especially too, because each week he's making a bracelet to go with each card. Along with the card and embarking on the archetype, you can also wear his bracelet to give you the medicine you need to help you get through that time. So roots along with the crystal, I would say my. And I've repeated it a few times. I'm just going to summarize it. When going through the archetype of the fool is be okay with the fact that you might make a mistake. The only way I ever have enough courage to start something new is to take the pressure off myself and realize that I am actually a novice and I'm not a master in this because I've never done it before. And when I tell myself that it automatically takes the pressure off of having to be quote unquote. Perfect. Then the second one is when you're about to make a transition to a new beginning, tell someone that can really be your rock that you can lean on that knows that this is the right decision for you. And we'll be strong for you to make that leap. Whenever you're going into a new journey allow for yourself to just really step into what are you excited about? Where are you wanting to put your energy now? You're in this freedom space in, so within that freedom space, it's now the perfect time to align your mind into where am I not wanting to go? What is now wanting to be part of my flow? And I think that's where people get caught up is they're like, oh my God, everything's gotta be perfect right now. Instead of just recognizing that it already is perfect now. A lot of people try and skip past the fool because there's not an anchored point of energy it's all free flowing. Slot yourself to have fun. It's not an anchored energy, the fool and people who aren't comfortable with that. And they try so hard to skip it, but it's so vital to starting the hero's journey. You can't skip that moment. They tried so high and God but in the end it doesn't even matter. He had to go back to the food. I'm joking. Cause you're going to get, you're going to circle around anyway. I know you are. So you're going to have to go back to the fool anyways. You can't really skip it. And if you do, can you spin me right. Round brown, like a record. I just also want to share one last part for the full energy is like really remember that the fool is all about playful energy. The fool is like, I'm ready to do something completely brand new. Let's go and not have it be like rough or tough. And they're literally just having fun with life.
