After the Storm: Eclipse Prep, Messy Middles & Big Moves

This week’s astro-Tarot episode is brought to you by the phrase “the work is worth it.” Mercury retrograde is finally over—shadow phase and all—and we’re being thrust into post-cleanout reality with nowhere left to hide. The Virgo new moon and black moon energy from late August cracked open the door, and now it's time to walk all the way through… even if it’s messy.

We’re using the After Tarot deck this week—a powerful visual lens that shows what happens after the traditional Rider Waite scenes. It's the perfect deck for our collective moment of transition, integration, and forward momentum.

This episode gives you the spiritual pep talk and practical frameworks you need to navigate September’s early turbulence, all while prepping for the emotional tectonic shifts of eclipse season. Expect clarity, confirmation, and a solid dose of “let’s get real” business truth.

You’ll hear about:

• Why it’s okay if your progress feels tangled or nonlinear right now
• How to trust the messy middle as a necessary part of embodiment

Hello Sunday, woo. Crew. Welcome back to your private podcast. This is the full episode for the week of August 31st through September the sixth, 2025. So let me just. Sell you this week is bringing some heat, and I'm not just talking about the temperatures in the air. We have been having a heat wave in the Pacific Northwest and I am so over it. By the time this RSS feed goes out for the reading, it will be blessedly cooler. Um, but while I'm making it, it is still very hot and I'm over. And I think it just kind of encapsulates the whole energy of I'm over it. So if you've been feeling that lately, um, guess what? I've got news for you. We've got like all kinds of astrology and we've got all kinds of tarot cards. And so, um, we're gonna start this week by just getting us past that Virgo New Moon, like really past it. Um, we spent our reading last week really dealing with sort of that like post New Moon. Sort of portal vibes. There was a lot going on there. And I would say that, you know, by the time we get to this week of August 31st, we're really starting to feel that sort of ebb away, so it's not pulling you quite so hard. We're also celebrating that Mercury is finally 100% direct. Um, and that means we are no more in the shadow zone. So when you had your reading last week, there was still a little bit of shadow going on right at the beginning. And this week is the first week of like absolutely no fucking shadow. Woo. And we are also officially in the pre-party season for Eclipse season. And. It's already bringing a lot of shit out. Um, personally, I'm really thinking of it as a pre-party. I'm very excited for this kind of energy. I feel like it's time to clean house. Um, it's deeply uncomfortable in a lot of ways for a lot of folks. If you're feeling that congratulations, you are right on time. But also, um, it's, it. Healthy to clear things out. It's just like taking the garbage out of your house. You would not let it pile up in your house. It would get kind of gross. And the same thing happens in our life with all of the things we do now, and it's not necessarily garbage worthy, but you know, we don't hang on to things forever and eclipses really help us let go. So I think there's something really healthy in that that's also coming up. So you might already feel like things are being stirred. The pot is stirring, and that's because. It is stirring, but don't worry. This week's reading is here to help you navigate all of the messy middle. And this week I'm going to be reading our tarot deck with the after tarot by low scar scar. I think I always say the name wrong. Maybe it's Raio. Um. Anyways, it's a, an amazing deck. The after tarot, it's a deck that imagines in the artwork. What happens after you get all those iconic scenes of the Rider way? We're so used to seeing Rider way imagery everywhere, and I just, I think that this deck. Is, um, a really pivotal deck to use when we're in the seasons of like, oh my God, it's already happening. Can I just get through it? Can I just be done? And it's like, well, what does that literally look like in the moment after? So it felt really, um, compelled to pull the after tarot off of my tarot deck. For you this week. I don't use it very frequently in readings just because it has this really special energy. Um, but I feel like it's a really perfect deck this week because we are in a moment of moving on, moving through and moving past all of these things that are changing. We're going through really big seasons of change, and the deck leans into the feelings of resolution. So if you are pulling your deck to follow along, um, like I will continue to encourage you to do this week as well. Just know that the reading that we are dealing with this week might have some elements from after tarot, but it also might inform you of some energies in your cards and you might start to have a new relationship with your cards as well, which can be pretty cool when that happens. So this week it's really all about the follow through after the big aha moment. Um, that's where we are energetically and we're gonna move forward now into our Business Themes summary for this week. So our business themes for the week of August 31st through September 6th are that Mercury is fully direct. We have no more edits and no more delays if you've still been feeling little bits of that. Um, I. Strongly suspect that this week you're gonna be like, oh wow. Things. Things just feel like they're moving a lot faster and a lot more in quotes normally. We're also still integrating that Virgo Black Moon, not as strongly as we were last week, but it's, it is still happening this week, so you might still notice some, you know, sort of lingering things that require clarity and clean out. That would also be very much prepping you for Eclipse season, which is right around the corner. So that energy is building. And that's another one of our themes this week. And then you'll notice in our reading that wands dominate the pyramid base. This week is so much about like, take action, like. All caps take action, and then we've got our pillars. Your homework for the week are entirely reversed. Your body, voice, energy, nervous system, everything. They need true actual support, not theory. So we're gonna talk about taking action a lot this week, and then the after tarot energy, this deck that we're using basically is adding in this element that this is what it looks like when you follow through, and hopefully you get a flavor of that in the reading. This. Week. And it does actually help you follow through because that's a really special thing, um, and important in this time period. So let's do an astro weather overview for this week. So we start the week on the complete other side of a very rare Virgo Black Moon that happened on August. The 23rd. Um, so it happened right before you got the fresh week's reading for your, um, for your last week's reading. Sorry, words. It's the, I'm gonna blame it on the heat. I moved to the Pacific Northwest for a reason. I'm not gonna spend your whole private podcast complaining about the weather. Okay. Um, this former Texan is like, I moved up north for a reason though. Um, alright. Uh, so we had a very rare Virgo Black Moon. That's, so, a black moon is the second new moon. In the same sign during one whole loo nation cycle. So not to be con confused with a blue moon, which is a full moon, a black moon is a new moon. So the, what's the translation on this? It means that you're being given a double chance to clean it all the fuck up. And, and, and that energy was. Super strong in your reading last week. This week it's still present, so it's not like you missed the boat. It's not like, oh no, well it happened. I guess I can't do that now. It's like, no, no. You are very much being encouraged to take a lot of action this week, and like I said a few weeks ago, as we. Inch our way towards fourth quarter and we're getting closer and closer to October 1st. Just from like a business calendar cycle sense, that whole action, taking the cleaning, everything, the fuck up action taking is just going to get stronger and louder and more ahe about getting it done. Um, not because there's some magical deadline, but because. It's for your best interest so that you can make space for all the new stuff that's coming in on the new Universal one year numerology, which is coming for us in 2026. So what are we talking about with cleanup the fuck up? We're talking systems, schedules, habits, offer suites. Even the way that you talk to yourself, I would say. Especially the way you talk to yourself, it's all under the microscope, and this week is the first real implementation stretch, so it's less theory. No more just, oh, I'm prepping for it, I'm getting ready. No more excuses, like, oh, I'm so busy. Things happened. You know what is not working, and now it's the time to do something about it. And, and you know how I feel about this. Are you going to get it all done? No. That's not how life works. Some things are really big. They take time. Some things are small and you can, you know, mostly complete it or entirely complete it, but. To start doing something about it sometimes means just taking that first action. So instead of just thinking about it, maybe it involves making something as simple as an actual physical to-do list on a piece of paper. Or sometimes it might make, I'm seeing a lot of project management tools like Notion or, um, Asana or, you know, even like somebody uses Google Calendar note. Good for you if you do, because I've never been able to get myself in the habit of doing that. Um, but whatever your system is right now is the time to do something about it. Get yourself organized and start figuring out what's the first step and that that is an action. So Mercury's a hundred percent direct this week. The shadow zone is done. Your brain and your business plans, they're all sinking back up. Hallelujah. If it's been hard to find the words or hit send on like a pitch or a post, this is definitely your green light. I feel like whoever this is really for when I wrote the notes, um. I am getting a sense from the guides who are present that you're listening to this and you're just like, I've already been feeling the green light. So just let this be the confirmation from a voice outside yourself that the green light, you're not imagining it, and that it is fully, fully present Now, meanwhile, Mars enters Gemini on Tuesday and it's giving rapid fire energy. So that's the Tuesday right after Labor Day. That is September the second. And, and it's really a great time to knock out any writing that you've gotta do, um, scheduling and batching your content, doing follow ups. If your email inbox is like mine and it has been the place where things go to die, this is gonna be such a powerful week for doing those follow up and getting the appointments on the calendar and just not having a lot of the extra back and forth. That have been happening. So just don't scatter yourself, like really, like try to complete one column and then go to the next, and then go to the next. Mars and Gemini can be brilliant or can also turn into burnout bait. So, so the way you avoid burnout, bait that I'm being shown is like to literally put your tasks into buckets. And if he were physically buckets, and I'm getting a guide who's like, why not use buckets? Somebody around here, I feel like you've, you've got kids and they've got like, you know, those little like sand pails. Like the little toy pails and they're like, write each thing on like a card, index card or scrap paper, and you drop them into the buckets. And like one bucket is like the, um, you know, like the, the communications, like people follow up appointments bucket and you're just like, write the names in there and you're like, I know I need to follow up with this person and then this person and this person. And then the next bucket is like your social media bucket. And you're like, I was supposed to schedule a post about this and then this, and then this, and I need to do a story series. And you just like put it all in there. And it's like, so instead of scattering yourself, you take, you pick one bucket and you do all the little pieces of paper in the bucket, and then you're done with the bucket and then go to the next bucket. And that's how you avoid burnout. Otherwise, it's gonna be really attractive to try to do all the things and you're either gonna burn yourself out actually doing things, but overworking yourself or you'll feel like you don't really make your, make it very far down the road. So. That, that kind of leads us into, you know, this being an officially in a pre eclipse season mode, and that clean out feeling of like, let me clear my buckets, is pre eclipse season prep, in essence, so it really flows together, which is beautiful and full of action. The lunar eclipse and Pisces is gonna hit on September 17th when a solar s. Uh, and then there will also be a solar eclipse in Libra on September the 29th. So we've got those two back to back. What it all means in a very small nutshell, and again, we will dive into these so much more as we get closer to them, we're basically like, what less than. Well, we'll be about like a couple weeks out from them, um, at this point in this reading. So it means that old patterns are already unraveling now, even people are exiting from your life, from your business. I've been seeing this happen in so many places that have been happening over in my business and my world, and then your deeper truths are also really rising to the surface. And, and, and sometimes those deeper truths. I'm getting this feeling of like, ugh. Oh my God. Like it's a lot and, and you have a minute to kind of. Notice it and breathe and acknowledge it and not stuff it back down or ignore it and pretend like it's not there because it's, it's a lot, you know, but to give yourself space to really, um, process it before you hit the actual eclipses, which are very fast acting and will help you do a lot of clutter clearing. So to speak in your life. Um, but like, let's say there's been a lot, I've been noticing a big trend with a lot of people and experience myself of uh, a lot of people issues where it's like, whoa, what happened with that person? Um, that's been happening in a lot of places and spaces. I've been seeing a lot of social posts about it. I've been reading people's emails about it and, and. It's a lot to process and like you get a chance to process now because by the time you get to mid-September, an eclipses officially kicks in with the actual eclipses and the moon lunar cycles. Like anything that's still left over is gonna completely clean out. So your job this week is just simply to move with the discomfort. That is the big astrology homework. It's not to resist it, it's just to respond with intention. So there might not be a whole ton that you can do in the immediate moment when it comes to those things, but there is a whole lot you can do in yourself, which is the work you do inside yourself. It's the less glamorous part, basically, you know, it's the part that nobody really gets. To see, but it's the thing that moves the needle later in a way where you're like, now that I'm not encumbered by feeling obligated to include this person or that group, or carry on an old collaboration that no longer serves a purpose, and you're like, I can let that go. And you're like, ah, I. Space now I can move forward with intention. Now I can move forward and like offer the new thing, or at least talk about the new thing or, um, at least show up in the world and not internally in your internal dialogue. Have a lot of head trash going on where, you know, it causes you to show up in a space, even if you're not talking about the thing, the new thing that you're doing. Um, but it can cause you to show up in a way where you're really not showing up with your full light and brightness. And, um, and that would be unfortunate because you deserve to have that out there. So let's move into the tarot now. Let's use, um, the after tarot, or you can pull your own deck and we're gonna do our pyramid spread. So we're gonna start with the foundation with our three cards. And the first card is the, is the eight of Wands. In the upright position. The second card is the 10 of wands in the reversed position, and then we have the King of Wands also in the reversed position. And can we just start out by saying, what is up with this wall of Wands energy? When these cards came out, I was like, are you fucking kidding me? The entire base of your week is. Fire. And if I'm not mistaken, I believe our entire base last week was water. Um, and so when we're talking fire this week, we're talking action work, momentum burden, and leadership, and all of these pieces are on the table, especially with these cards. So let's dive into the details. The eight of wands is classic fast movement, but we are using the after tarot here. So you can take a look at your own traditional tarot card, and then I'm gonna tell you after tarot, um, the wands have landed in the after tarot. So in your traditional tarot, you see them flying through the air, but in the after tarot, they have totally landed. And the message here is what the message is that the thing is already in motion. Yeah, that is where you are headed. Stop waiting. The energy really is here already, and your job is simply to follow it. So that kicks off our reading for the entire week. I personally love it. I feel like, um, the fire in the base of this pyramid coming in after Mercury has gone completely, um, direct because Mercury stocked in the entire Leo season. And, you know, you, we, we really didn't get to. You know, have our Fire Leo season rave party in the summer. It was a lot of tempered fire and tempered. Fire is beautiful. Like it's it. Okay, I'm, I'm being shown marshmallows to toast. Marshmallows, like if you have an open flame, it's a little too much, but the best flame. For toasting marshmallows over the campfire are ding, ding, ding, super hot coals. And in Leo season this year with the Mercury retrograde was like a bed of hot coals. So really impactful, excellent for cooking all kinds of things, but, but, but like not the big like flame of initiation and the usual energy that we all get collectively through that season. So now we're in Virgo season and we're getting a bit of this. Like onesie flame energy, which is pretty exciting and not surprising coming after le, after Mercury's gone completely direct. It's like we get a little bit of this energy finally, so we move from the eight of wands. Our, you know, yes, there's been fast movement, but like newsflash, it's not coming. It's already here. Stop waiting. Let's, let's do it. And we go to the 10 of wands in reverse. And this shows us that you can start letting go of your baggage now, but you might need help identifying. Which weight is yours and which was never yours to begin with because the way you process that is very different. So reversed this card is asking you what responsibilities are no longer sustainable, and that can start to help you figure out what is mine and what does not belong to me. Because the stuff that is yours is probably the stuff that you know is, is part of your. Like chronic mindset needs that you are working through with like inner child healing and all that good stuff. And the stuff that was never yours to begin with is the stuff you can literally pack up and send out the door pretty immediately, like return to sender. Somebody else gave that to you. I don't need to carry that. That's not my bag. I'm sending that back to you. You know, and, and you can find this very practically in your business by looking at responsibilities. So I am being shown that there's been a lot of collaborations in our group and in and, um, with the guides that are present and really seeing that it's like, you know, some people have been doing a lot of collabs and some people maybe not so much, but there are still responsibilities that do or do not belong to you. And oh, and there's someone in here where like, this is very like. Longstanding. I feel like it involves something where, like, I don't even know that you talked to the old collaborator anymore, like, like a long time ago. And you've for some reason been carrying some sort of responsibility. Um, and it's, it's just not sustainable anymore. Um, so whoever that's for, I have a feeling you know exactly what I'm talking about. And then our third card on the foundation is the King of Wands. In reverse. So this is big boss energy and it's got a side of self-doubt or a misdirected fire because it is in reverse. So in the after tarot, the king is facing the aftermath of his command, and if you have been trying to lead with, without resting or forcing a vision, without feedback, this this card specifically the after tarot is saying to you that leadership isn't about control, it's about capacity. So check yourself before you fry yourself. I was very proud of that, that phrase, I'm gonna say it again. Check yourself before you fry yourself. So together this trio is a huge, huge, huge call, two business owners. Hello. That's us. There is work to be done, and it's yours to do, but you don't need to do it in martyr mode. And I feel like that is what is really important here. Your, your goal is to take action, to take smart, conscious, sustainable action. And you'll notice that we've been talking about sustainability a lot for the last. How many weeks now? And that note on sustainability, I feel is the lesson that we are walking out of this nine universal numerology year with we're walking out of the nine year with this new awareness and new relationship to what sustainability means, so that when we walk into the new cycle with the one universal year in 2026, that we don't take. S unsustainable habits with us, and we're able to literally start a whole new cycle that does indeed allow us to grow. Because when you think about it, basically for the last decade we've been building and building and building to this point of this nine universal year in 2025. And when you think about all the stuff that's been going on for the last nine to 10 years, it's like, oh yeah, like there was growth, but it created an unsustainability. What part is your responsibility and what part belongs to not you so that you can make space for sustainability? And they just think that's so beautiful and I really loved that. That was the foundation of the pyramid this week. Yes. It's a lot. Yes. It's really heavy, but also it's, it's really exciting too. It's a really nice, um, foreshadowing of like just how much action is ahead of us and, and how much it's available to you. It's not like you have to search for the opportunity. It is. Already here. So we'll move up into the middle tier, which is your confirmation cards, and we've got the nine of Pentacles upright and then the lovers upright. So this is the grounding anchor of the week. The nine of Pentacles in the after tarot shows a woman who is secure, independent, and unbothered. But now there is motion as well because it's the after tarot. So the bird flies away. The moment is shifting, and that means it's time to trust that your. Prior efforts are enough to move forward. No more tinkering. It's time to claim your autonomy. In the traditional rider weight tarot, there's, it's like falconry, there's like a bird on, you know, like the glove that you would hold. And in the after tarot, the glove is on the ground, the bird is flying away, and, and it's just such a, and she's moving on to tending like, I think there's like grapes in the garden here. Um, and, and. It's so beautiful because you know, nine A, we are in a nine universal year and Pentacles is earth energy and there's so much rooted abundance in this, and the abundance comes in the motion, and then we move into the lovers big major arcana. And it is in the upright position again as a call to radical alignment in the after Tara with the lover's card that the angel has already spoken. This is the choice. After the decision. So your higher self has been guiding this all along and the decisions you make now must reflect that alignment. And remember the lovers, especially in a business reading, is less about like love, like two people coming together. And it's more about the relationship between you and your higher self. It is the major arcana for Gemini and, and so. You know, when you are making decisions, you can reflect in the alignment between you and your higher self. So together these two cards, the nine of Pentacles and the lovers both upright, they both confirm that you have done the inner work, you've been doing your work in that way. Now it's time to trust your values and then live them. And the action is in the living them part. So then we move into the top of the pyramid. With your higher perspective, and this week we have the six of Swords and it is reversed. We have seen this card before and it's been hanging around a little bit, but now it is reversed and in the after tarot, the journey of the Six of Swords is. In mid transit, the characters are depicted further from shore than in the traditional tarot, which means you're already deep into the transition, but reverse the card says, stop pretending that you haven't already left the old world. Stop pretending that you haven't departed from the shore. There is no going back. This is, this is the hero's journey. The only way out is. Through, and you really have to keep moving forward, even if you're not sure where it ends. To find the joy and excitement in this is at times terrifying, but also incredibly liberating, and it's also a very collective experience that people are having together. So you've already said, you've already said yes to the new path. The goal here is to trust that the shore will appear, and in the cards you can see that the shore is ahead. It just feels and looks like it's far away, but we all know that, you know, perspective sometimes can be a little off, depending on angles and where you're at and all the things. So. You know that this, this is this very like faith and trust kind of feeling in the movement that we are all going through right now. And then that leads us into our CEO pillars for the week, as I have lately, affectionately been calling your homework. They are newsflash all reversed. Hello? Inner homework week. So let's take a look at them. We've got Earth for Your Body and you have the hero font reverse, which I, I love the Hierophant card personally. Um, it, it's, it's got some really beautiful, um, like two feet and, you know. One foot in the old world, one foot in the new world kind of feeling, and, and with it being in reverse, the traditional path isn't working for your physical or environmental needs, especially for your earth pillar. Right? So it's time to change outdated health routines change outdated workspace norms. Or inherited beliefs around success. The card says build your own sacred rituals and ditch the dogma. Um, that, that is, that is some big ass work, y'all. I'm just gonna tell you with it being major arcana, we're talking like big belief system type work. Um, you know, if you. You as a brand, as your, as an entrepreneur, came with a mission statement. Um, we, this would be like you reworking that mission statement and living it, not just having it on paper, but really embodying it. And then we move into your next pillar for air. That's your voice. You have the eight of cups reversed, so this says that, you know, you need to say something. You might be circling a conversation or circling making a post or doing a pivot, but it's still, but you're just like still not hitting, publish on any of it and reverse the card says to stop ghosting your own truth. You really need to say the thing, especially with Mercury having gone. Fully, fully direct. If anything, it's like say the weird thing it, this is the week to start doing it. Don't be afraid to say it. And then we've got your third pillar for fire. That's your energy. It is the seven of Pentacles in reverse. And this means that you're just tired of waiting. Your energy is tired of waiting. You want the harvest already, who doesn't? But the reversed seven of Pentacles is also saying that you don't throw away your effort just because it's slow. There's a lot of this like. Uh, budding of energy out in the world. I'm seeing it in a lot of people where it's like, just because things are a little slow, it's like thing people think something's wrong or that you need to change a tactic or maybe that that thing isn't working. Um, but what you're really being encouraged to do is to redirect your energy into maintenance, not panic planting. And they were really. Love this because there's a patience involved with this and a maturity that is involved at this. And it is the absolute opposite of bro dude business energy and I fucking love it. So, um, fire and then also being the fire pillar and the amount of fire that showed up in that base of the pyramid this week. I feel like this message is really trying to root in you right now and all of us. So that we move forward with it just being a habit rather than something you have to think through. And then your fourth and final pillar is water for your nervous system. And you have the 10 of cups reversed. So you might feel emotionally off like your dream is slipping away perhaps, but it's just temporary. A reverse 10 of cups energy is often about internalizing a disappointment. You have to let yourself feel it, but you also have to make sure you don't mistake it for a permanent. Ending. So you're nourishing your nervous system this week, not just your schedule. And it's really a chance to ask yourself, like, because of that slowness that we saw in that energy pillar. It can then have a ripple effect over into your nervous system where you're like, oh, things are moving so slow. Maybe I fucked it up. I'm internalizing the disappointment. And it's like, okay, well let me feel it. Like where does that come from? Why is that there? And then you can start doing the earlier work that we've been talking about. Does this belong to me? Is this mine? This habit, is it mine? Is that automatic assumption that I have failed mine or does it belong some to someone else? Am I gonna return to Sunder this week because I might just need to do that? And it gives you a moment that that slight slow down that we've been experiencing is giving you a chance to process this stuff. Because when you clear it, you make room for sustainability and to continue to hang onto it just breeds more. Uh, you know, unsustainable practice, which means that by the time you get to eclipse season, if you haven't dealt with it now, eclipse season's gonna be like, and you don't need that anymore. And it's just gonna like surgically cut it out of you with no anesthetic and you're gonna be like, oh my God, it hurts so bad. And it's like, right now they're like, would you like something to ease the pain? And you're like, yes, yes, I would. And it's like, that's what this time period is for. So. Um, so let's talk about our repeating card, our cards for the week. We had the six of six of swords show up again. It's now in the reversed position, so the journey is deeply in motion. At this point, you're farther out than you realize. The goal is just to keep going. The lover showed up again. It's popping up again to remind you that if it is not aligned, it's not going to work. That alignment starts and ends with you, between you and your highest. Self and the eight of cups showed up again. This one has been haunting us a lot for like the last few weeks. First it was upright. Now it's in reverse. The unfinished emotional business is really still hanging in the air. You really are being encouraged to say what you need to say, and I get it. It's a cups card, it's water, it's emotions. There's, there's, there might be a lot that needs to be said and your goal is to figure out. What it needs to be said just for you and what needs to be said for in, in the case of your business for say, marketing purposes. Like other people need to hear it or maybe it's something that needs to be said for clients and you need to clear the air or you just need to like say the thing. So, um, what you need to say all in there. I would say that there's an integration note this week. I made a note on this in the script to read to you. Um. It just that the week, the, the reading this week just really feels like it is screaming. And I, and I'm not being dramatic by saying screaming. It is just, it's very loud. This week's reading, when I hold the card, look at them and look at the astrology, it just feels really loud. Um, part of that could be that Mercury is fully direct, um, but it just feels loud, like it is literally screaming. You are in the messy middle. Like this is the messy middle. It's not supposed to be clean. It's not supposed to be orderly. It's the messy middle. You've left something behind and you just haven't landed everything yet, let alone yourself. The base is all in wands, there is momentum. That fire is fantastic. The pillars are all reversed. The home, your homework, your daily homework is reversed, meaning that your body, mind, and energy and heart need recalibration, which you have been working on. You've been doing great on it. Um, and there is more active work. Now that you are more aware of things you can, you can really, you. Finish it, or, you know, really hone it in into the right way that you need it for you. So this is not the time to opt out, even if things are feeling a little slow in some areas, or like you haven't gotten to the destination point yet, or you feel like you can't see it yet. It's just the time to stay in it and let it be messy. Let it be slow if it's slow, but let it. Also move. Just because it's slow doesn't mean it's moving. I feel like that is really one of the biggest takeaways this week. You're in the boat in that six of swords. You're all the way out in the water. You know the guy's like punting the boat and I don't know if you have ever been on a boat that is being punted. They don't move fast. Uh, if you've ever been to Venice or if you've ever been anywhere on a canal in England, you there will, you, you can punt a boat down the river and, um, they don't move fast. You, first of all, you can't move fast. You'll fall off the back of the boat if you're the one punting. I would, I would know nothing about that. Um, and that is a story for another podcast. Um, but also the, it's, it's. Not Rapid River rafting, you know, like you, you, you just don't move as fast. And so when you look at that card and you're like, the goal here is to get to the destination all in one piece with the boat upright, it is not to race across that body of water, like on jet skis. And so, so your goal is to allow it to move because you could stick that pole into the water, to the base. Stick it in the mud and just anchor the boat and not move. You could just completely keep yourself out there like that. And, and all the energy and advice this week is like, let it be messy, let it be slow. But there is movement. It's your job to allow it to move though, and, and that is really, really important and for you to be able to recognize movement, however slight. Or delicate or small or slow, in addition to the really exciting, big, fast stuff is the, the art, the skill that you are developing right now, it makes you so much stronger. It allows you to handle nuance so much better and it makes you a stronger business owner. So your weekly prompt, if you wanna journal along with me this week, if you are a journal or two, is what are you resisting that's already happening. Anyway. What happens if you just, you know, stop resisting and let it carry you? Is, is, is there movement in said water that is already carrying you and you're like looking for more and it's like it's actually already there. Can you take notice and give thanks to the thing that is already carrying you? So just remember this week that you don't actually need to go faster. The the lesson is that you need to trust the direction and put your energy where your values are, honor your nervous system, and then you'll be able to lead from clarity and not urgency. And that urgency would be false urgency. So. You've definitely got this. Remember to look at this reading for yourself and then see if you can apply it to your customer base or somewhere out in the business universe to help you understand how the collective around you is operating. It will help you plug back into that so that you can build whatever it is you're building and navigate your way through it with a lot more ease.
