SPEAKER_00:

Hey listeners, we are doing a fundraiser for the podcast and one of our favorite nonprofits, Iramnia. On the 22nd of December at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, it is the Santa Jez Abundance Ritual where me, Santa Jess, does an abundance ritual with you. There will be a replay if you can't make it live. But basically, the price of your ticket, which is totally by donation, goes toward 5050, the podcast and e-romnia, which does amazing work for Otomani community in Romania, including work with domestic violence survivors, trafficking survivors, just they're just wonderful. And you can send in a wish list that I will incorporate into the ritual. Your wish list remains private, of course, just I see it. But there will also be a meditation with my immaterial world co-host Jessica Richards, and a reading guiding you into an abundant new year. So it'll be really cute. You can sign up through the link in the show notes. It's on Eventbrite, it's on my Instagram link tree, it's everywhere I post things, it's on my website, jazminavontila.com. So please join us. And uh if you don't want to join for some reason, but you just want to donate, I also have links to do that. If you want to donate directly to IRomnia or directly to the podcast, I have links on the Eventbrite as well. Thanks so much for listening. We really appreciate you. Bye.

SPEAKER_01:

Welcome to Romana's Den.

SPEAKER_00:

We're your friendly neighborhood gypsies.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm Paulina.

SPEAKER_00:

And I'm Jez, and we are here with your tarot reading for the week of December 8th, 2025, for love, money, and guidance. So we have the Three of Wands for love. Paulina, what are your thoughts?

SPEAKER_01:

How I feel about three of wands without love is about like a new adventure or business partners or taking on a new era in your life and basically outgrowing your old patterns. But for love, I feel like this is again about love, close relationships and stuff like that. So this requires you to basically step into a version of that love that you envision, so you cannot get there. You cannot get the love that you want unless you I don't know why. Like I'm just I'm trying to sound normal for you guys, but I'm having a really hard time for something.

SPEAKER_00:

No, don't bother. We can we can't pick normal.

SPEAKER_01:

Right. Like we can't really be normal. But basically, that version of the love that you want requires your vision and patience and confidence and all those things that you want. I feel like it's a little bit similar to last week, except it's more about focusing on the internal part, like being honest with yourself, being patient with yourself, figuring out even what you want and even what you need. That's what I feel about it. And it's about like it's about going in that new direction. So if you want to move forward, do all that stuff. If you want to stay the same and repeat old cycles, don't do it. Period.

SPEAKER_00:

I love that. I also think of the Three of Wands as a reminder that sometimes it's really fun to collaborate with the people you love. Do something creative with your partner, with your friends. You might work with someone you love, whether it's platonic or romantic, and this seems like a good week to make some magic happen. And for those of you who are maybe in a polycule or open relationship or ethically non-monogamous zitch, this could be that you have a new partner added to the mix or the synergy between you or among you and your partners. It's just really good and feels so collaborative and warm. I'm a huge fan of Polysecure as a good resource for anyone who's like, I want to do this, but I don't know how to do it well. Polysecure, the ethical sled, I have heard are good books for that. Yeah, so this is a great time for you to be doing fun, exciting, adventurous, creative, expressive things, whether it's work or hobbies or something like that, uh, with people you care a lot about. It's gonna help, it's gonna bring you further in these relationships. I like that. So we have the eight of wands for money. So lots of wands, lots of fiery energy. What's the eight of wands telling you about money this week?

SPEAKER_01:

I love this. I feel that the eight of wands uh the eight of wands for money is about moving quickly when it comes to money. So basically riding the momentum, payments, booking, sales, collaborations, um, ideas, like things like that. It's all about letting yourself take charge of like all this good opportunity, and also you have to stay with the pace. Things are gonna be moving up, good opportunities are coming. And also, I feel this strongly for people that either have like little side hustles or big side hustles or um do own their own business or do anything entrepreneurial. Like, this is your time to like take those steps because the momentum is is building, and also like you know, it's the end of the year, and so it's time for you to I guess think about those bigger picture things and just plant the seeds.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, this is such a good week for marketing, for getting the word out about what you're doing, applying for fellowships and funding, like basically doing anything that requires communication to get yourself out there. And I think everything you said about, you know, bookings and connections, and like this is a time to be telling everyone what you're doing and sharing your news and making posts and being visible on social media or in your local community if social media is not your game, which I admire you. I can't live that way, but I admire you. And um, yeah, so this is a good time to just like ask questions, share what you're doing, never be quiet, not for a second this week. Then we have the six of cups for guidance, which is such a sweet little card for guidance. What are your thoughts there?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, my little inner child is like, yay! Um, but that's really what it's about. Like the six of cups, I feel is about letting your inner child guide you and allowing those thoughts. This is actually super weird that this is coming up. Okay. So I was feeling like I have these big opportunities coming up, which I think it's okay for me to talk about on this podcast because I literally talk about everything publicly. I have no private life. And um, I'm working on just a big project that's gonna be pretty like out in the media, and I remember this thought I had as a kid that was like, I you know, wanna educate people and like I'm gonna be on TV, and like you know, you have these little thoughts. And like I always wanted to just like talk about things that concern me, especially now with everything happening in the world, and I think it's a little bit of a chance for activism publicity. And so I feel which I'll definitely talk about that stuff later, but I just feel like yeah, like I think that's what it's about. Like, let yourself allow that inner child version of you, like, don't suppress those thoughts, don't suppress those feelings. I feel like the guidance is about doing and reconnecting with what feels pure and simple and natural and stuff like that. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I love that. I so agree. I think being led by purity and whimsy and childlike joy and wonder and creativity it's the thing, and it applies so well to the previous two cards because the first one is about you know adventure and creativity for your connections with people. So coming from this place of purity and childlike wonder and joy with the people you love can only be a good thing. And then the second card, really encouraging you to put yourself out there, if you're doing it in this pure way where you just want to share things you're excited about, it's like you can't go wrong, and that's so charming, and people love it when you're authentic and you're really excited. And this is the week, maybe where you're doing a little living your childhood dream or revisiting something you love from childhood, whether you're finger painting or you're following through on a project you dreamt about since you were a kid. Like it's it's all the same. Just connect with that part of yourself. I have a book of poetry that was just accepted for publication, which is something I've wanted to do ever since I was a little kid. And it'll be out in a minute, like it's gonna take a while. But at the same time, I actually haven't told you this yet. I'm really excited. Um, because I do a lot of poetry performance, and a lot of times at the end of a poetry performance, people will be like, Oh, can I buy your book? And I'm like, Oh, I have a book on fortune telling, and they're like, No. Okay, okay. Yes, I love that. So that's I feel very much like my inner child. It's like, I wrote poems. Do you want to read them? And a lot of them are pretty gnarly about my childhood experiences. It's a different part. Yeah, it's a different part of the inner child. So, whatever it means to you, listener, uh, to connect to inner child and let your inner child guide you this week, whether you're writing emotional poetry or doing something else, this is the week to do it. I love that. Yes. We hope that you have a wonderful week. And if you are holiday shopping, remember you can get gift certificates with Paulina at RomaniHolistic or with me at JasminaVontila.com. And they're great if you want to give someone a gift. Uh, we could do a reading with them over Zoom or over the phone. Paulina also sells soaps and other natural life products that are wonderful. I on the DLM selling Dutora flower essences that you can DM me about. Reach out on Instagram or through our websites. We would love to help you out this holiday season. Remember, shop small, don't feed the billionaires. Your boycotts really do work.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, they do, and we appreciate you.

SPEAKER_00:

We do. And of course, Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling, our book, you can get at any bookstore online or in person. It's a great gift. For sure. Yay! That's all, folks.

SPEAKER_01:

Bye.
