Howdy ho, Ranger Joes, and welcome to Popcorn for the Soul, a podcast where I decode spirituality and universal guidance in our favorite pop culture. My name is Katie, student of life, lover of stories, and cosmic weaver pulling at the threads that connect it all. Top of the episode disclaimer: I am not a critic. I am not here to tell you my ratings or whether or not a piece of work is worth your time. I do not subscribe to the idea of other people telling you how to feel about a piece of art. I am also not claiming that anybody involved in the creation of these works is at all conscious or not of the connections that I will be pointing out. And most importantly, I am not here to tell you that your interpretation or enjoyment of your favorite stories is incorrect. I'm simply hoping to offer you a deeper understanding through my own personal knowledge and experience. The things I discuss are real concepts I've learned about through study and research, all available across multiple sources for you to learn more about yourself. Except for the rabbit hole portion, that's where I get a little crazy with it. If you haven't been with me from the start, all good and welcome. I do recommend at least listening to the intro episode to understand my framework a little better, but other than that, just know that I will be pulling at threads that I have mentioned in other episodes, and if that's how you listen, is by picking an episode and then intuitively following it that way, all the more power to you. And last but not least, thank you for being here. I truly hope that I can offer you some insight into life's mysteries. Even the tiniest spark of illumination is enough for me, because that's where it starts after all. This week's episode, we are talking about Disney's Pixar movie cars. Trigger warnings, abandonment, isolation, car wrecks. Kicking it off with our spoiler-free general themes. To live life well is not to take the fast track, but the windy, beautiful route that is more about the journey than the destination. How a spiritual journey is thrust upon you when you think you're at your highest but are really feeling your lowest. Your soul tribe as the people who see you beyond the ego-driven version. Lack of fulfillment through material successes, thriving through connection and mutually beneficial services, each person in their own specialty and niche. Carl Jung's individuation. The power of a best friend who sees past your walls and encourages you to speak, live, and feel your truth. Lightworkers whose mission is to just be. Taking up the mantle of guidance for the next generation to both heal our past wounds and show them how to learn from the past, do better, and effect change. The noise of the 3D that keeps us from accessing the 5D. The gradual integration of the 5D into the places of our 3D lives that cause the most chaos in order to replace it with peace, fulfillment, and the promotion of love and compassion. The power of the ripple effect of kindness versus that of selfish motivation and material gain. Okay, we are entering Spoiler City, so if you have not yet seen this movie, this is the time to go back and do so, and I also encourage just doing that anyway so that the things I talk about make more sense. For our spiritual journey overview. I remember cars being a huge deal when it came out, and I cannot remember if I saw it right away or if it took some time before my first viewing, but either way, I was not a fan, and I knew exactly why at the time. There's no looking back and being like, oh, that's the real reason, but said reason has a much deeper context today. Lightning being separated from Mac and wandering off into Radiator Springs was traumatic for me. That abrupt sense of loss, isolation, and loneliness really messed with my head. This came out in 2006, so I was no less than 13 when I watched it. Let's see, were there any parallels in my life where I was being subconsciously intimidated by those things? High school? Check. The bi-weekend stays at my father's home where I was surrounded by two brothers, a stepbrother, two boy cousins, lack of parental involvement, alcohol, and shouting matches sometimes turned physical in the late night hours when all I wanted to do was sleep and escape? Check. Always coming home to a space where my brains and obedience were appreciated, but my pain was too much. Check. And that's what I mean. I see all of this now, but all I really knew at the time was that what happened to lightning scared the heck out of me. It wasn't until adulthood when I gave the movie another chance and realized how beautiful and amazing it is. I'm positive I never even made it to the end before. You know, the big pivotal heart-centered decision that sealed the growth and therefore the whole point of the journey, the thing that made it all worth it, the vindication, the validation. I'd say I gave up too early, but that's not how divine timing and orchestration work. I wasn't ready to take that journey then. I had a whole lot of growing up and learning through trial and error to do before this story could make sense to me. I talked about this in our last episode on Remember the Titans. My emotional intelligence showed me straight up out of the gate that I wasn't ready for any of it. So I simply didn't watch it. I didn't even get to the point where my logical intelligence had a chance to take it in. My heart was not ready. So as an adult, after my own self-guided upheaval of quitting nursing and quite literally isolating myself in Los Angeles, not only surviving that but thriving in it, I guess I was ready to give it another go. And now watching it through this next level lens of understanding, of course it's only better and more relatable than I would have thought otherwise. Lightning McQueen is a rookie race car crushing it on the racing scene with a finesse of focus and an ease that has him weaving through, dodging, and intuitively utilizing the other cars to establish himself as a worthy contender for the piston cup. But his hubris knocks him down a peg by way of stripping him of what should have been an easy win. Instead, a three-way tie, though I genuinely don't understand how his tongue counts, sends him on the reroute of all reroutes, Route 66. It's right when Lightning realizes he has no real friends, then leaves hanging the one person in his crew closest to it that he is thrust out of his cozy, self-obsessed comfort zone into the reality of what it means to be going the wrong way. The spiritual community understands that a derailment, a roadblock, a denial is just the universe's way of rerouting you. Lightning experiences this in the form of a literal wake-up call of horns and headlights that force him to act on instinct and intuition, pushing him toward the true and intended path. Even though he'll continue to argue against the redirection with all the self-importance and materialism he can muster. Does this strike a chord for anyone else or is it just me? It's in Radiator Springs where Lightning is humbled and learns what it means to have friends over fans, to enjoy the drive with the view rather than running in circles over and over and over to reach a finish line that leaves you with and as an empty cup. He sees the truth of the life he has built thus far. Be flashy, hot, and confident and win as much as you can, but mess up once and you're left in the dust. Taylor Swift lyric here, you're only as hot as your last hit, baby. It's not that Lightning gives up the life he's built for. He just learns how to live it in a way that shows others how to do better with it. His best fans are his best friends, and they get their chance to shine too. He learns respect, compassion, and empathy and recognizes the importance of sticking by those who have stuck by you. Abundance flows to you when you start to appreciate the abundance you already have. It's from that place of serenity and grounded confidence that you can then discern the things that actually contribute not only to your success, but your happiness and the happiness of others as well. Then life becomes about giving back to those who helped you see your truth and full potential. Not because they wanted something from you, but because they encouraged you to just be yourself, even at your worst. Okay, the Divine Tribes, as a reminder, all of these energies, these archetypes are within us, regardless of gender. We must balance the three to be our best selves and reach our highest potential. Stories provide objective viewpoints of each perspective through the individual characters. Your masculine energy, we're looking at structure, logic, action, grounding, reason, the material, conscious, active energy. Mother, intuition, compassion, nurturing, emotion, empathy, subconscious, protection, receptive energy, and child, innocence, wonder, imagination, creativity, unconditional love, superconscious, neutral energy. So for our catalyst trine, masculine, we have Doc Hudson, Mother, Sally, Child, Lightning McQueen, what I'm calling the friendship trine, masculine, lightning McQueen, mother, Sally, child, mater, and or the combined mission of getting radiator springs back on the map. Okay, first topic, the volunteers. So we're gonna talk about Dolores Canon, and I'm talking bare minimum, barely scratching the surface, but either way, buckle up buttercup. I'm going to read an excerpt from the introduction of Dolores' book, The Three Waves of Volunteers in the New Earth, so that she can introduce herself rather than me trying to sum it up. This is also the book we'll be referencing from her many published. Quote: Since my first venture into this world of the unknown over 40 years ago, I have considered myself the reporter, the investigator, the researcher of lost knowledge. In reality, I am a hypnotherapist specializing in past life therapy and tracing the cause of people's problems to other lifetimes rather than the present one. Unquote. Very obviously, this all revolves around the idea of reincarnation, which, all good, I was raised Catholic and told that it's not a thing, but am now on board. But then Dolores presents something new, exciting, scary, expansive, wild, and in my opinion, beautiful and totally plausible. It's one of those things that I put into my category of understanding as there's no proof yet, but if this were real, it makes everything make sense. Again, I'm touching on the bare minimum here for the purpose of this episode, but if the topic interests you, read this book. Though I'm recommending it only to open minds and those who already wonder if there might be way more out there than we've been conditioned to believe. Especially if you want there to be more, you know what I mean? Long story short, the three waves of volunteers are identified as beings or extraterrestrials from other solar systems, planets, stars, dimensions, etc., who have incarnated as humans on Earth to help pull the OG humans stuck in the karmic reincarnation cycle out of said karma in order to ascend to the next level and help usher in New Earth. New Earth being a global ascension in frequency from the third dimension to the fifth dimension, where all humans, animals, plants, and everything else encompassed by the term nature live in a state of connection, peace, harmony, cooperation, and a state of unconditional love. The Age of Aquarius. Ever heard of it? As I've mentioned in other episodes, it's what light workers are here to do. I would assume all the volunteers are light workers, but don't know about all light workers being volunteers. Something that remains to be seen, but this is also if this is a truth and if this truth comes out. Anyway, the three waves refer to the different time spans that the volunteers incarnated on Earth, each designated a specific duty and or purpose. They are not reincarnated from human lives already lived here, but instead access the library and do research to imprint into their souls the wisdom and learned lessons of the humans that will best aid in their specific mission. The library, of course, being the infinite space of all knowledge, emotion, and experience ever to have existed or yet to exist in the universe. This includes the concept of the Akashic Records. I know, totally easy to wrap your mind around that one, right? Right. Moving on. For ease of identification, this book was published in 2011. So going off of the ages given by Dolores, the first wave would have been born around 1946 to 1966, starting right after the dropping of the atomic bomb. Oh yes, that is a big point of reference for all of this. A couple of threads which I've already pulled at in the episode of Moana 2. Long story short, humans were given access to the knowledge of nuclear energy at a point of desperation and hate, and therefore used it for the wrong reason. Destruction. Never has there been a more appropriate instance to use the term epic fail. Those of this wave are considered the pioneers who came in at the densest, darkest time and find themselves paralyzed by emotions, especially intense ones like those on the frequency of anger and hate, and will therefore avoid being around people who express them. They originate from a place of peace and love and don't know what to do with anything else. Their lives take on that white picket fence and look good from the outside, but without any logical reason, they sit in a deep sense of unhappiness and not wanting to be here. Many try to commit suicide. Wave 2 would be born around the time period of 1972 to 1985, the exact wording being in their late 20s and 30s when this was published, so I'm being broad in my math. Life is easier for these guys. Quote, they are generally focused on helping others, creating no karma, and normally go unnoticed. They have come in with a unique energy that greatly affects others. They don't have to do anything, they just have to be, unquote. These folks create ripples wherever and through whomever they come into contact with, with no conscious recognition of doing so. However, they are not necessarily comfortable around people, so they tend to live secluded lives, even ending up in jobs where they work from home and therefore are avoiding their purpose. They often do not get married or have children because they unconsciously understand that those connections as such will create karma that ties them to Earth. And finally, the third wave, identified in the book as the new children, many of whom are now in their teens, again, referenced in 2011. They came in with everything they needed in their DNA to enter right into the new vibrations and frequencies that everyone else was and is currently acclimating to through awakenings. These children are those often misunderstood and as Dolores says, misdiagnosed with ADHD and the like and medicated. But through this perspective, the truth is that there is nothing wrong with them. They were just born operating at a different frequency. There's way more to this, and it is explained so well by Dolores that I considered just reading the whole passage for the sake of towing the line of plagiarism. So I'm just making it very clear that this is all from her, and also that I recommend you just go read it. Great. There's the background information. Now, back to my connection with the movie. Straight to the point, I think I know a wave two volunteer, my Aunt Holly, who has only ever been referred to as and will only ever be referred to as Aunt Holly by me, my family members, my friends, her friends, and their kids, etc. She's always been the cool aunt, was my second home growing up, and is my and my daughter's godmother. I truly could spend a whole episode talking about the beacon of light that this woman is, but I'll try to sum it up in a paragraph. She helped my mom the most with my brothers and me by taking us to do all the fun stuff. Mini golf, roller skating, cedar point, water parks, Chuck E. Cheese, etc. We would stay at her house for days at a time to swim and hang and stay up late playing card games. All of us kids, and now my own kid, would experience intense devastation upon needing to say goodbye to her. She treats everyone, adults, children, and animals like a baby. Not in a bad way by any means, but in the way that she will and does take care of your every need and or want without any pretense, hesitation, expectation, or selfish motivation. She remembers every occasion and always gets a little something. It's never little. It's always perfect for the circumstance and something you'll genuinely love and or be able to use. She just is who she is, and everyone is thrilled when she is present. Oh, and she was born in 1976. She's also worked from home for as long as I can remember. Aunt Holly isn't uncomfortable around anyone, though. She thrives around people, and people thrive around her. So of course I see these positive alignments as a total second wave material, but right now she's not in a situation where she can perform her purpose, and it's the detriments that have me most convinced. Aunt Holly has a family of her own to whom she gives everything. There are five animals that she took on with the promise that they were someone else's responsibility, but she does most, if not all, of the work. Before, her work from home was part-time and therefore allowed for plenty of free time afterward to take care of not just her family, but herself as well. Both of her sons play hockey. If you know what that means regarding commitment and travel, then you know what I'm getting at. Her mother, my closest grandma, passed away a couple years ago. The toll that took was visible and tangible. I won't publicly shame and point fingers at individuals, but the point here is that Aunt Holly is giving and giving and giving, taking on the role of caretaker to all and receiving nothing in return. My brothers and I saw her light and basked in its glow from a place of appreciation and loving her in return, not for what we got from her on the material level, though of course we were grateful for all of it, but for what she gave us in love, friendship, and quality time. Now she's taken advantage of to get money, toys, food, and rides. I know the appreciation is somewhere, but it is not shown in any consistent, meaningful way, because our world is not conducive to that kind of behavior right now. So when she's upset at her weight gain and exhaustion and blames it on the inability to do anything about it due to lack of time, motivation, and perimenopause, I know that she's not wrong, but she's also not entirely right. Those things are factors for sure, but I've also been in a situation where even when you do stop drinking the pop and you do eat better and hardly at all, but there's no change, it's more. It's overstimulation, it's lack of self-care. It's the physical manifestation of the heaviness that comes from pouring and pouring out a cup that's been empty for years with no one offering you anything to replenish it. The suffering of the body stemming from the suffering of a soul that cannot fulfill its duty, its divine mission. Her flame is suffocating and therefore can no longer provide its light and warmth to others. The reason it exists. How does this connect to the movie, Katie? Well, you could say she's like a rusted car. Whoop, there it is. Yep, I'm comparing my aunt to Mater. Mater isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and my aunt will be the first to say that she's not smart. And though I don't really subscribe to saying anyone isn't smart, it is definitely true that she thrives in the role of the divine mother, heart overhead, like Soda Pop in the outsiders, like Mater in this movie. They all listen intently and ask questions that get you talking, and you talk because you feel safe to do so. Mater's intelligence is certainly lacking, but his loving wisdom cannot be missed. He calls Lightning on the truth of everything he is feeling in every moment, bringing to the surface what Lightning is trying so hard to hide. Mater is the one to welcome Lightning, show him some fun, and call him his best friend. He's the vulnerable entry point and safe space for Lightning to start experimenting with the feeling of compassion that then gradually extends out to the others. In fact, Lightning is unfortunately and ironically extremely prejudiced against the race of rusted cars. When he's caught by one of them, Mater, in an act of said prejudice, he's forced into the first re-evaluation of everything his entitlement has made him feel safe to believe. Cue the tipping of the first domino, or should I say, cow tractor. I've always tried to put into a single sentence what it is about Aunt Holly that makes you feel so seen and welcome just being in her presence. I had a revelation lately about what my new standard in any relationship is, and I connected it to Mater during this viewing. Then I connected it to her. Aunt Holly makes you feel like she's genuinely happy to see you every single time. Like you brightened her day, brightened her flame, and the warmth invites yours to burn brighter right alongside it. It sounds so simple, but define what that actually looks like to you and ask yourself if there's anyone you know who makes you feel that way. I sincerely hope your answer isn't as heartbreaking as mine. But if it is, you're not alone. And I'm here to tell you you deserve nothing less. Next topic noise. The point of meditation is to learn how to shut off the noise of the world. Find your center and connect with nature and the universal consciousness so that you can start to hear the truth of your inner voice. What comes through in the silence is guidance about who you are, what you are being encouraged to learn and consider, why you are here, and what to do about all of it. In the episode on The Outsiders, I talked about daydreaming as an advanced meditation tool you can use to envision your highest timeline so that you can start mapping out the road there. I had talked to my friend about doing this, and we discussed how when she tries, it's like she can focus on her vision for very short bursts before other things start popping up. Appointments to be made, put on the calendar and attended to, lesson plans for school, upcoming trips, this bill that needs to be paid, that person that needs attention, that which needs to be cleaned, the one. Laundry that needs to be done, this situation that needs reconciliation, what to eat and win, how to save money, the car needs gas, headlines, things seen on social media, blah, blah, blah. Yes, that is exactly the noise we are talking about. Everything in your daily life that has you in a constant state of anxious looping, planning, and hustling in the rap race. They're all distractions from the quiet that will lead you to your inner voice. The thing inside of you that so desperately wants to be heard so that you can start living your life from a place of peace and gratitude, flowing on the daily rather than fighting. When Lightning is obsessed with the race, we see his meditation in the form of talking himself up from an ego-based standpoint. It cuts to the literal noise of the speedway, which is loud, intrusive, and carries the frequency of competition. It's a focus that ushers him into a state of high performance, but a rotten attitude that doesn't end in a complete loss, but certainly not a win. In actuality, the stakes are raised and the pressure made even more intense. Oh, and you know, he alienates everyone along the way. Then in Radiator Springs, he takes his first regular drive through the windy, beautiful, quiet back roads next to a stunning Porsche, another car who challenges everything he thought he knew about its stereotype. This trail shows him how to relax, how to enjoy simplicity, how to laugh at himself, how to adapt in unfamiliar terrain, and how to be fully present. When he makes it back to the speedway, his pre-race meditation becomes flooded with that peace, so much so that it actually starts to cut through the literal noise of the literal race and distract him. Why? Because he doesn't care about the piston cup anymore. He cares about the people who helped him see it for what it really is. Just an empty cup. His focus drifts back to that happiness to remind him what's really important. That's the meditation that puts him on the frequency of winning in the way that matters. The focus that ushers him to love, abundance, giving back, and recognition of his heart and soul, not his performance. That's what happens. The peace you have accessed becomes so appealing that you naturally start to adapt in all the areas of your life that challenge or threaten it. Toxic relationships fall away, draining jobs become too unfulfilling to struggle through anymore, unhealthy food and drink become unappetizing and unsatiating, and your priorities become clear. And where does the movie end? Oh, just the same place where that backroads drive ended. Lightning with Sally wearing his best suit, witnessing the joy of the best friend he kept his promise to, and announcing that he's setting up his racing headquarters in Radiator Springs, putting it back on the map in the biggest way. Highest timeline, anyone? Okay, we have arrived at our rabbit hole, so this is where I ask you to trade your PC thinking caps for your mad hats and follow me down. The kickoff point to this rabbit hole is in reference to Mater's backwards driving by way of using his rear view mirrors. He says, No need to watch where I'm going, just need to know where I've been. I cannot emphasize how profound this actually is. We've established that Mater is a wisdom over intelligence guy, so while an initial watch through of this movie, especially if you don't take this character seriously, might have you seeing this as a throwaway line, it's not. If you listen to the other episodes, you probably already have a good understanding of why. But in case you're new here or need a recap, let's review. First and foremost, we've discussed the concept of soul blueprints, the script your soul typed up before you incarnated into your earthly life, all of which you forgot when you were born so that you may live and learn authentically without being intimidated or boxed in by the idea of fate and or destiny. This veil of forgetfulness grants you the free will to make your own choices and gain experience in your own unique way. But when you get to the point where it feels like every bend around a new corner has you hitting a wall, everybody is telling you no, and any sense of lasting happiness is entirely elusive, the big choice becomes about shrinking to your smallest and staying stagnant, or figuring out what the heck the problem is. And how do you do that? By looking back at where you've been, what you've done, and what you've learned through it all. Your mind may not be consciously aware of your blueprint, but it sits in your soul and has always been the guiding force along the way. Everything you've experienced has its purpose. It's up to you to do the detective work and sift through to find that purpose. But this is scary. There's no sugarcoating it. It's the shadow work we talked about in the King Arthur episode. You have to face your demons, your shortcomings, your mistakes. And as mentioned in the Remember the Titans episode, you need to know these things so you know what not to do. I wrote a poem called The Past, the Past, the Past about how you must confront these things to find the gold. Quote, keep in mind to remember your mark. You shine brightest in the dark, unquote. When you felt your most insignificant, what were the things that lit you up? What do you still remember to this day? I'll give you some examples for me. Freshman year science class, the popular girl, a freshman, who just made varsity cheer, said, You're just like the most real person I know. I said, um, I'm not sure what that means. And my friend who sat across from me said, It means that you're the same with everybody. Seriously, back then, I don't even know if I said thank you because simply put, I thought that's what you were supposed to be. I'm not even sure I knew it was a compliment. But oh boy, in a world full of facades, I've held on to that to get me through the times I stood in my truth, even when everyone else was telling me I was wrong. Thank you, Kelly, and thank you, Sasha. The English teacher who gave me 52 out of 50 on an in-class essay and told me I nailed it when handing it back. The English teacher who everyone thought was stiff and boring, but always showed me kindness and found subtle ways to commend my writing. The community college professor who pushed my limits until I found a topic that truly challenged me, then complimented it to my friend who was in her other class. Thank you, Miss Dub. Thank you, Mrs. Katerier, and thank you, Professor Ockle. The feared musical director who would tell me in private moments, you are just so good. I love what you're bringing to the character. A character that I swapped back and forth with another girl who was a better singer and looked better in the costume than me. The high school ego-fueled things I was stuck on. That same director who cast me as the lead in a musical years later. Thank you, Sue. I remember all of you because you said the things I most needed to hear and treated me the way I most wanted when those closest to me did not. Familiarity breeds contempt and jealousy and competition and all that. We're all guilty of it. A lot of the time, the people who see who you really are are those who can remain objective because they've not seen your mistakes. I remember these moments because my soul recognized them as clues to my blueprint. At the time, however, they were teeny little insignificant blips in a vast sea of self-doubt, confusion, heartbreak, pressure, and surviving. They weren't meant to pull me out then, but looking back, I can recognize them as buoys that kept me afloat as I navigated that sea, and now as guideposts in my blueprint. What did you learn in your darkest moments? And when did you feel the most seen? What about your story can help others, and how are you meant to share it? Who have you been shaped into, and how can your unique shape fit into the puzzle of a better world? Yes, we've talked about daydreaming and envisioning your highest timeline, but that's not the whole thing. That's another tool in your detective's kit. You're not meant to know the exact outcome nor the exact steps on the journey. The journey is a walk through fire. The vision is the dream that makes that walk worth it. Of course, your ego will want details, and our imaginations will gladly provide. But here's the thing about surrendering to the divine: you've got to have full faith that whatever actually does happen will be more beautiful than anything you could have ever imagined. The goal of all of this is to be able to live fully in the present moment. You can't get stuck in the past, but you also can't dwell too hard on the future. If you do, you'll just get confused whenever something doesn't play out exactly how you planned, then you'll cycle back into doubt and you'll have to do it over and over and over until you can let go of the outcome and be at peace, knowing every little step you take that is guided by kindness is aligning you with your truth. The simplest way to put it is that it all ties in the past, the present, and the future, and you're the one who has to figure out how. In Taylor Swift's song The Manuscript, her lyrics are, in the years past, like scenes of a show, the professor said to write what you know. Looking backwards might be the only way to move forward. You don't need to watch where you're going. You'll get there. And why would you want to ruin the end of the movie anyway? But you do need to know where you've been so each step is informed and aligned. Mater isn't driving blind, neither should you. So, what if, what if, what if? This doesn't just apply to this lifetime. What if past life regression should be the first tool we pull out of our detective kit when finally donning the hat, coat, and pipe? Dolores Cannon said she was, quote, tracing the cause of people's problems to other lifetimes rather than the present one, unquote. If you could simply enter a state of hypnosis to determine what big picture karmic lesson you're meant to learn in this life, navigating the details of it would be so much easier. When solving a crime, detectives will have their list of suspects and be most drawn to the one with the most profound motive, the why behind the crime. It's hard to reconcile the details without a convincing motive, but I feel like with any procedural cop show or even like Brooklyn 99, once it is established, everything else falls into place a little more easily. So if you can first find your motive for navigating this lifetime, it's going to make your magnifying glass a whole lot more effective. I've never done a past life regression myself, though I have had an Akashic Records reading where I discovered I was a literal weaver in a past life. Interesting, no? So I'm not really sure how to provide examples here. But like in astrology, you have your north node and south node, present and past karma, respectively. The Google AI overview of my nodes. A north node in Sagittarius with a south node in Gemini indicates a life path focused on moving from superficial information gathering, Gemini, to finding deeper meaning, truth, and wisdom, Sagittarius. This placement calls for embracing the big picture, taking risks, and pursuing higher learning rather than remaining stuck in constant doubt, anxiety, or intellectual decision. Interesting, no? And what does every rear view mirror say? Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Just something to think about. Keep watching, reading, listening, and weaving. The answers are waiting for you. Join me next episode for our breakdown of the movie Weapons. It's a doozy. Get ready.
