1. YOU’RE AT A DECISION POINT

All I need to know is, should I stay, or is it time for me to go? I don't wanna waste another minute, no, the story's getting old

This story is getting old, huh?

No more wasting time. You’re not getting any younger.

Listen to your inner authority. Make a decision and move forward.

2. AWARENESS OF LANDMINES

I can't help but walk through your landmines, Ten feet and I'm going out of my mind

Being at a field of landmines (metaphorically) isn’t always a bad thing!

You’re at the point of the matrix where you can see behind the illusion, you can see the lay of the land more clearly than ever.

The painful landmines. The vulnerable landmines. The loving landmines.

All of you is welcome to the party.

There’s 2 ends of the spectrum:

  1. Navigating the minefield strategically, playing it safe, avoiding the explosions

  2. Just going forth & Letting the landmines erupt

Real life is got a mix of both. You make the call. You’re literally so powerful.

You’re in the journey and you’ll be at the clearing on the other side very soon!

3. WHEN IT HURTS SO GOOD!

I'm bleeding and all I need is a sign I'm out here and I've been waiting so long

They say it's all for the best, I think that fate is a lie

Is it pleasure or pain

Is this process pleasure or pain? Real life is again, a mix of both!

Let the catharsis, the expression, the release happen. There’s art and medicine of going THROUGH the process vs. avoiding it.

Be mindful of when you’re indulging and wallowing in pain needlessly vs. feeling, processing and releasing.

I think of the school of thought of “Existential Kink” by Carolyn Elliott. It’s worth looking into!

There’s an overall vibe of catharsis, vulnerability and reckoning with reality in this song. 👇🏾 Scroll below for your takeaways & action steps

Takeaways

</aside>

As an mystic, I think of Tarot cards**!** This song reminds me of the sequence from The Devil (15) card to the Tower (16) to the Star (17)

In the spirit of the mystical energy, Let’s structure the takeaways with these 3 cards:

  1. 😈 The Devil Card: You’ve gotta see your limitations in order to overcome your limitations. Even if you feel like you’re moving 3 steps back, you’re really not. Healing is a spiral, so even if the themes come back around — you’re in a completely different place, I promise. 🌀

  2. 🗼 The Tower Card: Things fall apart. Things come back together. Creation. Destruction. Life. Death. Rebirth. Trust the process.

    This message is reminding me of another song:

    Won't break, can't shake, This fate, rewrite

    Deep breaths, tight chest, Life, death, rewind

    — Eternal Sunshine, Ariana Grande

  3. 🌟 The Star Card: Baby, you’re a star! This message is your golden star sticker. You’re in a period of renewal and rejuvination. This is the Aquarius card. All of the things you’re navigating are bringing to places you may not even know to dream of!

Action Steps

</aside>

Let’s keep the tarot vibes going as we get into ACTION, You ready?

Here are your powerful next moves:

  1. 😈 The Devil Card: Play into a villianous, uppity, baddie persona and EXPRESS. Wear an outfit out of your comfort zone. Make a bold social choice. Say the thing that’s been sharply sitting on your mind. Strategize. Scheme. PLAY.
  2. 🗼The Tower Card: When shit hits the fan, trust your insticts. This card is astrologically connected to the planet Mars. Themes include: action, instict, movement. As Mars prepares to go retrograde (Late 2024-Early Spring 2025) — ⚠️ s l o w d o w n t o s p e e d u p ⚠️

Mars (action) retrograde ****is giving retro-active. As this story unfolds in the near future, integrate lessons to be pro-active moving forward.

  1. 🌟 The Star Card: an activity for you
