Hello, butterflies, hello, hello.
Welcome to Monique's Tarot.
How are you, butterflies?
I hope all is going well onyour end.
I'm so excited to kick off theseries the first butterfly talk
and bringing you all theconscious, the topics that
really stay with you andresonate with you in between
(00:48):
those lunar cycles, and also thefeelings and thoughts that
resonate across the collective.
This is such a joyous time thatwe're in a healing time that
we're in especially followingthe new moon and cancer.
But before we get into today'stopic, let's just ground
ourselves.
So let's just burn a bit ofPalo Santo.
Perhaps you're a sage person,perhaps there's a different herb
(01:13):
or natural path that you bringinto your ceremony.
Bring that energy in and let'sjust clear out that energy that
no longer serves us and alsoallow in those messages from the
spiritual guides to just openup the space.
So, as mentioned, for those ofyou that are dedicated
(01:39):
butterflies and followers, Ilove bringing the readings to
you all.
I love doing that, but I alsowanted to do something that was
just a little bit more intimate.
There's a lot that's on yourminds.
I know that personally from themessages that you send and also
from the reading requests thatyou send to me.
I appreciate that so much thatyou all entrust me with that,
(02:01):
and I wanted to bring a formatwhere we could just conversate,
we could just talk.
So if you're following thepodcast, specifically on Spotify
or even on Apple, feel free toleave a note within the comments
.
What are those things that areon your mind?
How is this topic resonatingwith you in the podcast?
(02:21):
And I also want to bring moreof those topics to you all to
just talk through how we canspiritually overcome those
things in the day to day.
So be sure to leave a commentbelow and let me know how you
feel about the messages of today.
Now, what we're talking abouttoday that's been on my heart is
(02:43):
how to spiritually overcomefailure.
So I have to be honest,butterflies like I've been
feeling like I've been failinglately.
I just feel like I've beenfailing, which my friends and
family tell me isn't true.
They're like you're not failing.
There's no way you're failing.
You have so many good things on, but I just haven't felt like
(03:04):
I've been able to meet my fullpotential.
There are some outcomes that Ijust want to happen and I need
to happen.
So it's been really frustratingto be in a season where I feel
like I have to wait and thingsaren't happening when I need
them to happen.
And so over the last two weeksI've really been working to get
back to my core, and the firstthing in spiritually overcoming
(03:28):
failure is to step outside ofyourself.
So I needed to make sure that Iconnected with friends and I
connected with family and saidhey, I'm not doing.
Ok, like I'm not doing well,I'm not in the best headspace.
Okay, like I'm not doing well,I'm not in the best headspace.
And that in itself lettingother people know that you're
(03:50):
not in the headspace that allowsother spirits to come in and
connect with you, that allowsthat external ancestral energy
to start taking power and tostart moving through other
people to assist you.
It's so easy to think that youcan do everything on your own,
but you're not meant to do thisalone and your spirit is not
meant to do this alone, which iswhy I refer to the collective.
(04:14):
We have a collective energythat we all are tapped into, and
especially within failure.
Failure is a very egodrivenemotion.
You feel like you're a failurebecause you are not doing enough
, but the minute that you beginto bring in, we to tap into that
collective consciousness, yourealize that you're not alone.
(04:37):
There's probably someone elseout there that you know that's
gone through this.
Maybe it's someone that's amentor, maybe it's someone that
you look up to.
Maybe it's someone that's evenyounger than you that's gone
through things.
We all have repeating patternsand as we move through these
different spiritual grids, withfriendships, with locations,
(05:00):
there are different people thatwe connect with that can help us
break out of these cycles.
So I want to encourage you, asthat first step, to step outside
of yourself and admit tosomeone else that you're feeling
less than that you're feelinglike you're a failure and see
how you feel.
Just that alone will help you.
(05:21):
The other thing that I startedto forget is who I was.
It's like when was I strong?
Like when was I the strongestin life?
And so I thought about, likeokay, when I was a teenager,
there were no major bills, nomajor responsibilities, and
maybe some of you are mothersand fathers and uncles and aunts
and you've adopted, or you havepeople in community that you
(05:45):
look after, or maybe even justtrying to make sure that you're
caring for the people, that youjust care about, making sure
that they're good your friends,your chosen family.
In all of these cases thattakes energy and it can be easy
to forget where you sit withinthat.
So the second point is reallypacing yourself.
(06:06):
Are you pacing the output thatyou're putting out there?
Because if you put so much outwhere you're not recovering, it
can easily feel like you're afailure because you're just
doing too much.
You're a failure because you'rejust doing too much.
(06:26):
Spiritually, if we look at thechakras in the body, so your
solar plexus is connected toyour willpower.
Failure is an ego-drivenspiritual emotion that we have
on ourselves.
So you want to think how can Ibuild in more confidence so I'm
not leaning on the ego offailure?
(06:47):
Have you connected with yoursolar plexus?
Have you moved the center ofyour body?
Have you been able to allowyourself to have some rhythm in
the center of your body so thatyou can start to have that go
down to your core, center ofyour body, so that you can start
to have that go down to yourcore?
Are you starting to allowyourself to move so that you're
not so stuck within that ego offailure?
(07:10):
It's very important to allowthis movement to guide your pace
, because as you start to guideyour pace with movement, you
start to feel more grounded andnot needing so much external
validation, realizing that youare bigger than this one moment.
There's an expansive worldbeyond this moment and that
(07:31):
requires again tapping into thatcollective energy and allowing
yourself to move into thatenergy.
So remind yourself of who youare and when you felt strong,
and journal those moments down.
I want you to ask yourself whendid you feel strong, what were
(07:52):
those brightest times in yourlife and what did it feel like?
Start to create that visual foryourself.
Start to create that memory andbring it into the present, but
also creating a new foundationthat's more mature, that has the
aid you need and so that youcan start to be guided toward
where you're going Spiritually.
(08:15):
If we look at the purpose ofthe north node, it's your
guiding point in life and thesouth Node is your past.
So if we were to think aboutthe North Node as something
that's pushing us toward ourgoals, pushing us toward where
we are meant to be, you have tohave that balance mentally,
internally, because so manytimes when we feel like we're
(08:38):
failing, we're focused on theSouth Node, we're focused on
those things of the past thatdid not work, but that South
Node guide is to teach us thoselessons so that, as we're moving
toward our North Node, we havemore maturity and we have more
insight into what we are doing.
For those of you that followMonique's Tarot, we have five
(09:00):
realms that we focus onElevation of spirit, healing,
work and business endeavors,personal life and also
unexpected surprises.
What I want you to do is reallythink about, if you look at all
of those realms, what areas areyou not performing as well as
you'd like to performing as wellas you'd like to?
(09:21):
That's very different from theidea of failing.
Maybe you're just tired.
Maybe you want your finances tobe stronger.
Maybe you haven't had theenergy to go to the gym as much.
Maybe your expectations are toohigh, where you're putting
yourself in positions mentallywhere you can never achieve that
(09:43):
goal because you're stuck inperfection.
It's important to really askyourself how you're truly
performing so that you can thinkabout the emotions that come
with it.
Give yourself a second to pauseand I want you to think about
the emotions with each realm.
(10:03):
Which ones are realistic, whichones are based in your purpose
and with those thoughts offailure, which ones are higher
expectations than need to be setright now Write all of those
down and allow yourself to justrelease.
(10:25):
There's a certain present energythat's needed to overcome
failure as well, and when wefocus in the present there's
ease to it.
There's a lot of feminineenergy in the present.
Masculine energy a lot of timesis about the do so.
Masculine energy a lot of timesis about the do the overcome
that kind of Mars planet energy,the competition going after
(10:48):
being out in thatcompetitiveness, that Aries
energy.
But I want you to think aboutthe ease that you could bring
into your life.
How can you bring in more ofthat Taurus energy, that
mothering energy, that Cancerianenergy, that flowing energy?
(11:08):
How can you allow yourself tobring in some of that Pisces
duality energy, to see all sides, to go deep but to allow
yourself to come to the surface?
At times, like I said, I havebeen feeling failure lately.
I've been feeling like I'vebeen failing.
I've been letting my ego getthe best of me.
I have not been allowing myspirit to really speak through
(11:31):
what I'm doing and that hascrammed my decisions.
That's put me into a panic whenI really need to be in a space
of openness.
And to do that you need toreally develop a practice.
A practice, first, ofacceptance of what the current
situation is.
So, again, that feminine energy, of being present in the now.
(11:52):
And then also, I want you tothink about a space of building
within your home.
So maybe you already have asacred ritual space, maybe you
have an altar that you come toeach day.
But what are those things thatyou could do each night, and
also in the morning, to bring ingrounding For myself?
(12:14):
In the evenings, it's burningincense within my bedroom, so
allowing myself to smell, so Ican breathe deeper when I go to
sleep, to start to really lowerthat anxiety and open up my
nervous system with breath.
In the morning, it's allowingmyself to look at those dream
catchers that I have, catchinglight, seeing the crystals
(12:38):
sparkling in the light, andallowing myself to focus on what
I'm grateful for.
You may have a unique practicethat fits you, whatever it is.
Find that spiritual ritual soyou can step outside of yourself
, so that you can step outsideof the ego and connect with the
energy of the collective.
(13:02):
Let's do two oracle pulls,oracle pulls.
There's so much good groundingenergy that, again, is coming
from that new moon in Cancer.
So if you have not listened tothat reading.
Please go back and listen orwatch the full reading on
YouTube.
There's so much good guidedenergy, but we're just going to
(13:22):
pull two oracles here Calling inmessages from the spiritual
guides of overcoming failure,calling in messages from the
(13:43):
spiritual guides of overcomingfailure.
Okay, so I'm seeing heregratitude.
It says find just one thingthat you feel grateful for right
now and let that gratitude pourthrough your body.
It's like a healing balm, likethe warmth of the sun, beautiful
(14:07):
and so fitting.
Gratitude, gratitude.
Let's just pull one moreCalling in messages from the
spiritual guides for overcomingfailure, spiritually overcoming
(14:28):
failure.
And then we have Cosmic LightCouncil.
The number up top here is 12,which translates to fruit three,
which is all about freedom, allabout travel, all about just
getting out there and exploringa bit.
There's definitely that energyacross the collective and it
(14:51):
says you are being cleared,balanced and stabilized through
12 vibrational dimensions oflight.
And even if you do go through asituation where, let's say, it
did not work out, the outcomewas not what you expected, it
didn't pan out the way youwanted to, that's still
expansive energy in it and it'sabout finding those lessons that
(15:15):
you can continue to take withyou from the south node.
As you move toward that northnode energy and building that
solar plexus, let me know belowin the comments, specifically on
the podcast, and also, forthose of you that are listening
in via YouTube, let me know inthe comments how this message
resonates with you.
How are you dealing withfailure?
(15:37):
What are you working toovercome right now?
I want you to declare thatvictory.
I want you to declare thatenergy of overcoming that ego in
your life and allowing thatsolar plexus and that expansive
energy to connect beyond thismoment and connect beyond
yourself to the power of justredefining and re-understanding
(16:00):
a deeper version of your spiritand what it's truly capable of.
With that Butterflies.
Thank you all so much and speaksoon.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
