[00:01:21] As Gary and myself reflect on the whirlwind energy of July before turning our focus to the powerful shift that August brings. Even with the summer still in full swing, August often carries the feeling that the year is beginning to wind down, making it the perfect time to trust your intuition, embrace your authentic

[00:01:47] self and lean into opportunities that may push you outside of your comfort zone. Gary breaks down the message behind the moon, the king of swords and reverse, and the surprise appearance of the shadow card from the day before, exploring themes of uncertainty, hidden fears, self-reflection, and emotional clarity. Whether you're searching for guidance or simply looking to reconnect with yourself, this conversation

[00:02:16] offers thoughtful insight, encouragement to trust the path unfolding before you.

[00:02:51] What's up, what's up? And welcome back to the Purple Pants Premonitions. It is August and your spiritual forecast has arrived. I'm super excited to be here with my co-host, none other than you might know him as Gangsta Gurry, but the real tea is it's Gary DeAndre. What's up with you? I love that. That was cute. You come on intro. Um, I'm here. It's a new month. I'm so glad that July is over.

[00:03:21] I don't know what that was about, but she can keep it where she was, honestly. So listen, and I just saw you like two weeks ago. And I feel like first and foremost, I was like, dang, I was real sad then. And I mean, life is happening now, but at least I feel here. You know what I'm saying? Because I was not there before. Okay. We were, we was pushing through baby, pushing through. That's what we do is push the room. Okay. And then push the room. Through to August.

[00:03:47] It seems like May was just a few weeks ago when we're like, that summer is here. Now it's feeling like bring the pumpkin spice out. Thanksgiving around the corner. Better start your Christmas shopping. It seems like. It's moving. Whoa. Savannah, slow down. Okay. Cause like I was with you with the pumpkin spice, but then you started talking about the turkey.

[00:04:15] And then when you really said the Christmas, I was like, wait, wait, wait. It'll be here before you know it. That is no shade. That is so true. And I just realized that because August, I don't know about you, but for me, August, like I was raised in the South. So August was always like, baby, we back in school by that first week. Okay. And it's like, all right, we about to get the things of moving and a shake in the year is starting. And you know, we go into bed earlier and everything like that.

[00:04:41] And as an adult, August does not register the same, especially like living in the Northeast, like living in New York. So August for me is like extended summer right now. It's like, okay. I know that this time of the year is also like the last month before the kids end up back in the schoolhouse. And they still, okay, listen, they still everywhere. Okay. And it feels like this is the time where you get to establish what you want, like falling

[00:05:08] beyond to be for me, at least, you know what I'm saying? I feel like I hate summer, but August is like that. All right. We're almost out of her. So what do I need to do in order to like, feel good going throughout the rest of this year? And I received that this month. Cause I'm like, I don't know what's been going on before then. And like the girlies, we talk about, oh, the Scorpios. So, you know, we get to August. Okay, girl. Well, I want to see, I need to see the, okay. Cause I need something to move right now. All right. Cause I don't know what it's been giving.

[00:05:39] I feel like I'm a part of the, I don't, I'm a winter baby. So I don't love the winter. Like I love a good spring and I love a good fall. So while I feel like I'm mourning the summer, I really am looking forward to like the fall, the cooler days. Yeah. Still mid temperature. We haven't gotten into that dark time. Also August for me, it's like, in my mind, I feel like I am mourning the sunlight.

[00:06:07] Cause I feel like last week, the sun set at 845. And that's like the last of it. And each day it's just getting shorter and shorter. So I've been trying to like go out on my back porch when it is, the sun is setting and just really kind of like taking it in. Like, Oh, it's seven o'clock and it's still light out. So it is like this, a weird place for me where I'm like, I want to make sure I stay positive and stay.

[00:06:36] Cause sometimes like, you know, that darkness really can get to me. And I feel like the summer has been all over the place. And so it's like, normally I could ride that high of like, I've had a great summer and like, I've been enjoying it. And like, I'll push through the winter, but like, I've been, I've been holding on and now it's like, Oh no, we getting ready to go into a tundra. Yes.

[00:07:00] No, that's so, that's so T because all I've been thinking, like for me, it feels like summer hasn't been bad, but it hasn't been like stamped. Like this is what summer has given to me. You feel what I'm saying? Like, it's been like, I've been making it through. It's been cute here and there. It's not been cute here and there, but I haven't felt like I had like my moment. Yeah. You feel what I'm saying? And I know that like, it doesn't really get like cooler essentially until like September, October, well, actually like October these days, close to November.

[00:07:30] But it's like, I still have things that I want to do. You know what I'm saying? I still have things that I don't want to say I necessarily want to accomplish, but more or less like experience. You know what I'm saying? Like I haven't been by no water yet. Like I haven't been to nobody's beach. I just was saying that. Like I was like, I have not. And I'm a Pisces. And so I feel alive in the water. I just texted my sister the other day. Like, when are we going to the beach? And so you're right.

[00:07:58] Like I feel the exact same way where it's like I'm in summer, but I don't feel like I'm taking advantage of summer. And they've been predicting that fall is going to be coming early this season. There are like meteorologists and people online essentially saying like, if you look at the leaves, if you look at the foliage? The foliage. Foliage. Foliage. Okay. Y'all know where I was going.

[00:08:26] They say like, it looks like if you look at some of the foliage, it looks like it's mid-September. A lot of the nights are getting cooler. And so like. That is tea. That is tea. Just saying. Listen, Jesus is sick of the shits. Okay. He said, you know what? Wrap it up. Y'all had that Nixon five. Y'all had the small. Listen, let's just get you through it. Okay. Let's just get into the next season. And I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

[00:08:55] Listen, I'm not mad either. I also do feel like this summer I've been like in a, I don't know what the word is, but I've been in like a protective space where I've been like, when I'm sorry, I've been protecting my piece. I've been protecting my piece. I've been saying no. Hey, you want to do that? No. No. And so like, I feel like there were times where I'm like, oh my God, I feel so bad where like, I'm not experiencing things, but I just really felt like my body was like, bitch, be still.

[00:09:24] And so like, I feel like even with it being August, I feel like I'm slowly allowing myself to do some things. Like my friend is having a barbecue today. They was like, I know you're not going to come, but I just wanted to invite you. I said, well, bitch, I'm a pull up. I'm a just, I'm a pop on in. Let the girls know. The girls are still here. We're just, you know, we've been. Nesting. Incubation. Yeah. Yeah. Nesting. And it's so tea because it's like two things.

[00:09:50] One, I love when somebody still invites you, even though they know that you might not show up. Cause please continue to invite me. You feel what I'm saying? Like, I'm not saying I'm not never going to be there, but like, right. It may not be the time for me to show up. And if I'm showing up, don't you want me to show up? Not the dark passenger. You feel what I'm saying? Like, and then my thing is it bothers me when people know that about you and still catch

[00:10:15] your attitude when you say that you not coming because they know what's going on and they understand the situation, but still want to have an attitude. Like make that make sense. And. And. Yeah. Cause I felt that. I felt that. I. Yes. You are speaking to my soul because if I don't want to go somewhere, if I don't want to be somewhere, like that's how I'm going to show up. And so it's like, what Bryce do you want to show up?

[00:10:44] And I'm working on that where it's like, I know I need to push past it, but also sometimes I need to like, listen to myself. There are so many times that I just don't listen and that I go anyway. And that like, I push past it and I like give of myself and then there's like nothing left. And so I'm trying to work on finding that balance of incubation, but still giving and showing up when I can.

[00:11:13] And so like, you are absolutely right about that where sometimes people just don't respect it. Or again, I'll be my glass half full where I feel like people just love our energy and love like, and they want you around. And so that's something that's very endearing. But I also feel like sometimes what people don't, cause sometimes I feel like I'm an empath. Right. So like, I feel everything.

[00:11:36] Like I can meet somebody and I just like, Ooh, like, you know, like it is, it's a lot on me. And so others it's not. And so like simply just showing up sometimes can be a lot. And then like, if you don't show up on 10, then they were like, Oh, something's wrong. Ain't nothing wrong. I'm here. Just leave me. Let me be. And then that's it. And you're going to make me have a problem. If you keep asking me what's wrong.

[00:12:05] Cause you know, I didn't want to come in the first place. So why, why are you even doing this to me, Martha? Why are you even doing this to me? Okay. But that's tea. Cause that's something that's been happening. And I love that. I love when it's like, we have like reference points for the things that we are talking about because it's actually happening in real time. So it reminds me, baby. Like, even though I'll be going through my own stuff, we are all connected. You feel what I'm saying? In our own ways. Cause I think the energy is very like sensitive to that.

[00:12:33] And that's the other thing that I wanted to say to you is that you had mentioned earlier about the fact that like you were feeling like this pressure to like do things that we haven't done yet. You know what I'm saying? Because summer feels like it's ending. And you said that the meteorologists were talking about the fact that like, oh, like it feels like it's mid September or whatever. And I feel like that's also like in my mind, I was like, oh, like that's connected to the energy of the universe because, and you know what I'm saying?

[00:12:59] Like the weather is actually feeling like it's closer to like what fall would be based off of that information. That's why we're feeling that like anxiety or panic to like get things done. And it's just like, okay, well, what can I do? You know what I'm saying? What do I have the space for? And also those things take planning most of the time. And I know me personally, I, baby, I can only figure out what's going on in front of me. Like, like you asked me what's going on, baby. I don't know what's going on next week.

[00:13:28] Like, I have no idea. Like, I don't know what's going on next month. I don't, I can't, like, I normally don't make plans for those things. But if you don't, then you don't have anything to look forward to. And it's like, all right, now let me try to make use of these last 30, you know, 30 days or whatever of August. It's the middle of eclipse season as well. And I know that, you know, eclipse season is when things go all over the place. Okay. They'd be a little all over a little, a little fast moving. But I love chaos.

[00:13:57] Everybody talks about eclipses like, oh, everything's chaotic. People so sensitive. And I'm like, well, girl, show me what you got. Okay. So as we're like going into like this month of August, I feel like for me, especially because if you think about it, August is the eighth month of the year. Right. And numerology eight is related to like expansion. It's related to like growth. You feel what I'm saying?

[00:14:21] It's related to like, I think about the skill sets that you have to have in order to like make things happen and the effort behind like keeping that intention and that energy up. And because we have, you know, the eighth month of the year is also like the start of eclipse season. And we just had what is called like the nodes in astrology, like shift into, I believe Aquarius and Leo.

[00:14:47] And the last time that they were in these energies, 2008 to 2009, if I'm not mistaken, they were saying, which I was in college. That was my freshman year. I was shaking. I was shaking. I was shaking. Okay. Okay. Okay. Listen, I just started. Cause listen, I was figuring out where I was, you know, down at the more house. Okay. Cause listen, I was the girl, the girls were like, Oh, you get, I've never met us. So I had, of course, homosexual classes for my brothers because they didn't never met anybody like that.

[00:15:13] And it's like, now that I'm thinking about that and like, bring it up now, it's like, this is a season of the best way to describe it. At least for me is I feel like who is sitting like in front of you today. Like who was checking in today, like August 2nd, 2026 is the same person that was checking in back in like August 2nd, 2008. But there is an awareness that he is coming to that he does not physically know yet, but

[00:15:43] he can feel. And it's like this level of like comfortability, I think in a different iteration of just like adulthood without all of the doubt, without all of like the, the lack of awareness. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, who is showing up today? And like, what are the things that he has quieted? You know what I'm saying? Or maybe was fearful of putting out there because of how it was going to be perceived and like, let's go of that. And still doesn't know how it was going to be received, but you feel better about it instead

[00:16:12] of spiraling about who you are and what, you know, you are doing. That feels good. You know what I'm saying? So it just feels like a very affirmative August. And I don't know about y'all, but I feel like where we are today and where we are at the end of August, there'll be two completely different people. But I think it's going to be more of a self-assuredness and, you know, like those things where it's like people that you are in relationship with. Come on, Truth Verb. Oh.

[00:16:42] Okay. Okay. Okay. Because that's the other thing. Noticing what the body like does in order to like protect you. You know what I'm saying? And not doubting that because that is also part of the information that helps you to be secure in your mood. Sorry, I went on. Wow. An esoteric spree real fast. Okay. But it's just a month of doing, like, not even just like doing you, but like knowing that like what you want and who you are is there, you're the only person that can show up and

[00:17:11] be that. And there's plenty of opportunities for you to be able to show up as that person, but it takes courage. And if you think about it, it's Leo season. You are lying. Let them hear you were deeper. So how you going? How you going to scream? Okay. What Katie Paris say? Okay. Don't have me. Okay. Okay. But I don't know. How are you feeling going into this month, my love?

[00:17:44] I'm here is what I'll say. Like, I feel like it's just, there is a lot of chaos, but I feel like the chaos is like in my head. Whether it's in my head or like it's in my life, it still just feels so real. And so for me, it's like really kind of wanting to calm that chaos, wanting to like reassure

[00:18:08] myself, wanting to just, and I think we said this last, I was going to say last month, but a couple of weeks ago where it's like, I feel like I'm always like, I want to get back to that old price. But I keep telling myself like, bitch, it is no going back. Like, let's look forward to the evolved. Let's look forward to like the new price.

[00:18:33] And so there's always this constant like pulling of myself where it's like, oh, in 2008, I was shaking the ass going to the plateau, you know, with my friend and like having such a good time. And so like, I feel like I'm always like, oh, those were the good times. And so as if like new good times can't come or like me being able to recognize in this present moment, this is a good time. Right.

[00:19:02] Like, and who knows in 2038, I might look back and be like, well, 2026, like, oh, it was a good like, I don't know. Just being able to like, again, quiet the noise in my head. Yes. Present and like not celebrate, but allow myself to have a good time. Allow myself to be like, I don't need to keep remembering. Like, it's like almost like I'm living in the past. Right. Yes.

[00:19:28] So like stopping me from being here and being present and just, you know, with the noise in your head, it just feels like a lot. And it is. And I'm going to say that it very much is because what you are feeling, even though it may not be physically real, it's physically real for your body. And the reason why I bring that up is because that is something that I've been noticing, like with my little aura ring or whatever, it's been telling me that like my like heart rate has not been going down, like as it used to maybe like a month ago at night.

[00:19:57] And it's like, it's probably because of like the things that you've been stressed out about. And I was like, okay, no, bro, like you're not wrong because this month was very stressful. So the fact that you can read that and tell me like you need to look into it, I'm like, okay, so there is something that is, you feel what I'm saying? And I am responsible for like actively paying attention to what that is and trying to do something about it. Cause the more that you ignore it, the more that it actually becomes not just real, but then a real problem. You feel what I'm saying?

[00:20:25] And I feel like what you said surrounding like that old version of you is still here, but the reality in which they lived in is not. It was something that I spoke about with a client this week where it was just like, do you think about like 99 times out of a hundred, you hit the ball and it goes out into the rafters. Right. But that one time that you hit it and it didn't go out into the rafters is what you're holding onto.

[00:20:54] And that creates the experience in the reality that you are having, ignoring everything else that you have succeeded with. So it's like, why are you letting that one situation exist this far into the future when it's actually the anomaly? Yes, it could happen again. But at the same time, if you're not going into it with that mentality, there's less likelihood that it will happen, but it's all about perception.

[00:21:20] And I think that this is a really great time to be mindful of the perceptions that we have and the actions that we take behind said perceived mentality. You know what I'm saying? Cause it's like, okay, like, oh yes, he's still here. He can still do some of the things he was doing back then. It's just a different environment and a different requirement. That was a bar. Okay. That was a bar. That was a bar.

[00:21:47] And it's all about understanding that like your requirements now, there's still something in you that desires that. So don't ignore that because that will continue to, until you do something about it, but also providing yourself the space and the safe place to be able to do it in the way that you want and see if that building that stamina back up gets you back into what it is that you're interested in. You feel what I'm saying?

[00:22:12] But it's also about knowing that like, if you think about it and it's real, why don't you, you know, investigate exposure therapy, try it out, see if it's, see if it's actually true or not, and then go from there. And I think it's about like getting up and doing the things, you know what I'm saying? And like, we can think ourselves out of shit all the time, but why don't we start thinking ourselves into it? Come on. Okay. I had a word this afternoon. I didn't realize I had a word.

[00:22:44] So I'm glad we're talking about this because I feel like we're talking about like the desire to still have this space to enjoy life, even in all of its complexity and seriousness. And like, I think it's around what I said recently is I was talking to my best friend and I was explaining to her, I was like, you know, I know that I have the capacity to be

[00:23:12] even, I'm not even gonna say great, but like even greater than I am, you know what I mean? And I know I have the capacity to like do so much, but the responsibility that comes with it is what I think I like freak myself out about, which hinders me from getting there. And then it becomes investigating why I believe that that responsibility is going to be something that stops me from being me. You know what I mean?

[00:23:40] And having to like unpack that, you know, get so famous and all that stuff, whatever. But it's like, I'm holding myself back from my own greatness that I know is there because it's been proven over and over again because of the things that are the shadows in my life that take up that space and hinder me from that growth. Go ahead. And sometimes I feel like it's just life. Like the older we get per se, bitch, we got bills. Like we got jobs. Like we have aging parents.

[00:24:10] We have responsibilities. We have like so many different things in which I feel like we didn't have and now we do. And so like it, it requires more attention. It requires more things. It's more stressful. And so being able to still live or feel like you could still live while still doing all of these things. And then sometimes when you look at it, you're like, well, damn, how am I doing all of this shit? Like it's a lot.

[00:24:40] And so finding that balance of like feeling like this pressure of adulthood isn't just holding you down. Mind you, we're the generation that is seeing they lie to us. Yeah. I went to school. Okay. I got the degree. I got the job. I'm working. Where's the fruit of my labor? And I was telling someone the other day, like, bitch, I'm tired.

[00:25:09] And my friend was like, I'm tired too. But I'm like, no, I don't think you understand. Well, actually, my friend was like, but bitch, when I was 15, I got a part-time job. I worked after school and on the weekends. I've been working. There hasn't been a day since that day I took that job at Ben & Jerry's that I have not been working. That's so teeny. And not worked multiple jobs. That is so teeny. You know, like, and I've just been hustling. And then sometimes I just look. And again, I do understand.

[00:25:39] And I do get the phrase where people are like, the version of yourself or where you are today, a version of yourself prayed for that. And so, like, I don't want to sound ungrateful. I don't want to sound like I'm not. But I also do just feel like, bitch, I've been working two, three jobs since I've been 20. I've been doing all of the things of the things. And then sometimes I look and I just be like, well, all I got in my refrigerator is

[00:26:04] two water, two bottles of water, some pickles and some jelly that I'm sure should probably be thrown in the trash. Like, what's going on here? Woo, child. And it's like, when does it stop? When does it end? And people ask me that question all the time. And I'm like, girl, I don't think it does. Like, I don't think it ever does. I don't think it and I don't think it ever will. But I also feel like what I try to hold on to is, like, the beautiful moments, the memories,

[00:26:33] similarly to what we were, like, mentioning earlier today. And, like, those memories, they have to be made. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like, what do I do to make them so that way I have that to hold on to as I'm going through the fire and the flood? You know what I'm saying? People dying. Things is happening. Shit is crazy out here. And it's just, like, how do we take those fleeting moments of joy and let those be the tokens that we put, you know what I'm saying, into the video game that keeps us moving in this timeline.

[00:27:03] You feel what I'm saying? Yeah. And I think that this month is about making those, making those moments and allowing yourself the space to, like, push through and give yourself what you want instead of rationalizing yourself out of it because the more that you rationalize and, like, go back and forth, you're wasting time. And it's no shade. You're allowed to wait. You're allowed to think. You're allowed to process. But, baby, you've been processing this for, like, four months. Go to Disney World, okay?

[00:27:34] Like, you want to go? Go, diva. There's nothing wrong with that. Take that cruise, okay? Take that cruise. Take that trip. Girl, have your Euro summer. Okay? Summer ain't over yet. Zara Larson said, okay. So, go have your time. Go have your moment. Go to the beach with your girls. Have your little afties moment. You know what I'm saying? After you hit the circuit that night. Like, girl, do your thing.

[00:27:58] And also, I think the other part of it is, like, don't do your thing in places you don't want to actually be. Because then that's going to color the experience. And that's going to color the way that you reflect on this summer. You feel what I'm saying? So, it's like, when I think about the things that I've gotten up and done, even when I

[00:28:23] was sick, tired, no energy, but something in my spirit was like, girl, you should do this even if you know what I'm saying. And it always ended up being cute. But I know that the things that I forced myself to do or felt obligated to, those are things that I did not attend this summer. Like, you're not going to pressure me. And I will tell you on the day of how I feel. And that is what I can hold on to thus far regarding, like, this time. It's like, I'm doing what I want.

[00:28:53] Just like Natalie Nunchin said. I've been doing what I want. Okay. It's a pickup in the, okay. And a truck in the front. Okay. Pink tequila in the back. Okay. Batty blunts in the front. Ah. First one I want. First one I want. Okay. And honestly, that's the team going to August. You are the one. Always have been the one. It's not main character syndrome, baby. But you are the main character of your own life. So, listen. The main character on the TV show, Ainsett and Nebea, all day.

[00:29:23] Very true. She up. She moving. She living. She going to class. She going to work. She dancing with her girlfriends at the club. Like, so make it a moment. Make it an experience. And what do you want the experience to be? Because, like, time isn't, time is always running out. But it's also, like, how are you using time to your advantage? And we got two cards already. Love that. So, I decided to use the Wandering Star Tarot. This is by Kat Pierce.

[00:29:52] It's a deck that I have had for a couple years. Love Kat Pierce. You definitely should check her. She's going to put her out. But something about this scream to me. I think it's, like, the back of the deck. Because it's, like, ooh, look at her. And something was, like, pick her up today. So, we have the Moon card and the King of Swords card coming up in reverse.

[00:30:18] So, as you can see on the Moon card, it says dreams, intuition, shadow. So, I really want you to think about, as you are going into this month, which is kind of gaggy that I would even talk about this first. It's like, girl, your dreams, your intuition, your shadow. And it's very interesting that that comes up. Because I actually, because I can pull it, because that's how I know. Yesterday, I pulled, like, because I pull for myself daily throughout the week. And, or try to. I try to.

[00:30:48] I'm doing pretty good this year. Okay. We're about, like, 211, 212 days in. I'm going to miss, like, two or three. But I pulled the shadow card yesterday. And, obviously, I pulled this because, girl, I would have had to flick through and find it if I did not. And the Moon and the Shadow here coming up together is, to me, like, the things that you know. I'll put it two ways. The things you know that you want to do that you don't do, why don't you do them? You know what I'm saying?

[00:31:15] Or what do you feel like you have to gain? Or even, it's like, do you do these things and then feel guilt around it? You feel what I'm saying? So, it's like, yes, you schedule your trip. You spend that money on your trip, whatever, whatever. But you talking shit to yourself the whole time because you think about mom or dad talking about, you should say this money. You should be spending money on this. You could have put that money in the days, whatever, whatever. But your spirit needed that.

[00:31:41] And if you allow yourself to think in that mentality as you are having that moment, then that is what you are going to think. About every single time you spend money on vacation. I'll even put it for me. I have a history where, you know, mama done drank a couple times. She's got trouble here and there, whatever, whatever. So, of course, every single time that, like, I do decide to have a glass of champagne, have a shot of tequila, my mind is like, ooh, is something bad going to happen?

[00:32:10] Something bad going to happen? And it's like, then I start spiraling about that because it's like, oh, like, yes, you've had negative experiences. Yes, they have been a couple here and there. But if you put that in your mind and that is the reason why you are also, like, doing this, that is what is going to show up and cause that negative experience. Child, that's like with me with men. Okay. Okay. Not with me with men, child. Okay.

[00:32:38] Because I'm always like, what the, about that? I don't trust it. I don't. Okay. Okay. And honestly, sometimes you be on it. Well, don't, you're right. But sometimes I, sometimes you set the stage and the table for the bullshit. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. And it's like, if that's not what you want to eat, then girl, don't put that on the menu. Okay. I'm going to have an attitude about it.

[00:33:10] Maybe, maybe not. Okay. Okay. But with the moon and the King of Swords card coming up in reverse King of Swords, the keywords that it says on the card. So you can see, hold on a little zoom in right there. But it says power. Okay. Influence. And it also says ambition. So I want you to think about like, if you are not in positive spaces, positive mentalities of power, positive, like intention, you feel what I'm saying? Positive action moving forward.

[00:33:40] Positive influence. If you're allowing negative influence to influence your intuition, influence your mind, then that is what is going to become real. So it's very much about you being mindful of the way you think. What if you have the negative influences, but you don't realize they're negative? Negative. It's so funny you say that because I would say you don't think that they're negative, but you do question the experience that you have with them.

[00:34:10] It leaves something feeling, you know what I'm saying? A little off every single time. And it's like you answer that question. Try some exposure therapy. What if you take that out of the equation for a little bit? You feel what I'm saying? And what if you start pushing back against it? What if you start actually, because the thing about it is a lot of the times things that we don't think are negative is actually a bunch of BS. We have told ourselves that it is that. You feel what I'm saying? And like built that up.

[00:34:39] And if that's what you're building up in your mind, that's the reality that you're going to have about the situation. But your body also knows sometimes when you're doing something and it's like, but it does this for them. And, you know, I feel this way after. It's like, no, girl, you're feeling something's off. Your gut don't lie. You know what I mean? And it's like you have questioned it or something has come up where you're like, no, I'm making that up. You know what I'm saying?

[00:35:07] But if you keep seeing the facts or you keep getting the nudge, why not investigate? What do you lose? If you end up losing it, was it ever yours? Hold on to. Okay.

[00:35:29] So August, in a nutshell, for me, is really about like your dreams are going to be very, very, very potent during this time. I don't know about you. I've been having a lot of dreams lately and I don't remember them a lot, but I've been remembering a lot. Same. Same. Okay. Okay. Same. And like they also say, you know, because like they'd be like the people that, you know, they do the little smoke. You don't remember all the time. I'm like, baby, those things are still coming through. Okay. They're like, hello.

[00:35:59] Hola. I have something to tell you. I want to tell you something today. And I'm like, you know what? I'm right now, universe spirit guides. What is we talking about? What is we talking about? Let me write this down. But it's about also following your gut, following your intuition, allowing yourself to know that your body is telling you something. And the king of swords also showing up is like. You do a lot of the processing already, but you do a lot of it here.

[00:36:29] How do we get it here? Because a lot of the times when we take it from the nebulous space and bring it into reality, we get the opportunity to see whether or not it still holds up in the court of law. Okay. And it's like, if you bring it from the nebulous space and it's like, you have an idea. You start doing it. And you're like, actually, I don't like this. Like, I don't enjoy the experience. You know what I'm saying? I thought that it was cute based on what it sounded like. But when I'm actually doing it, absolutely not. Spoiler alert.

[00:36:58] I hate doing reels for things. Okay. Like, it's like, oh my God, I got to find the time. I got to find it. It's like me and deadlines. No, I'm not good with those. So I'm not going to set myself up for things that have like very concrete deadlines because I will always miss it. Okay. As long as it's something that's got to be done, then we can make it happen. You know what I mean? But if I can avoid that, then that's what I'm going to avoid. But I didn't know that until I started getting into it.

[00:37:26] So it's like you are allowed to figure it out without knowing what the outcome is after it's all said and done. And if you go through this month allowing yourself to do what feels good, and if it continues to feel good, good. If it doesn't continue to feel good, you don't have to do it anymore. But is it not feeling good because of something that you were taught? Or is it not feeling good because of something that you actually feel? Because there's a difference.

[00:37:58] You know, what you were deciding to do, your family said, they'd have mentality around it. Okay, but is it working for you? If it's working for you, why would you stop doing it? Is it something they said? You know what I'm saying? Like, so allowing yourself to have that experience and also wrestle with that discomfort.

[00:38:25] It's all about you just being, I don't want to say active, but actionable. I love an A. I love an A. Okay, I love a little right. Okay, listen. Actionable August. Okay. Yes, God, mama. Okay. But that is your reading for the month of August. I really want you to just allow yourself this time to like, because the moon is also represented by Pisces.

[00:38:52] We do have a Pisces full moon, I believe, at the end of August. The new moon is in Leo, I believe, on the 12th. This starts eclipse season. I think the full moon Pisces, I want to say maybe like August 26th, August 27th, or what have you. Actually, they're like, bitch, you can find the answer. Stop playing. I'm like, stop playing. Again, it's the full moon lunar eclipse on Friday the 28th at 12, 18 a.m.

[00:39:19] So the moon being in Pisces, also like that's represented in the tarot card. I really want you to think about by the time you get to the end of the month, like what are you sunsetting as far as certain belief systems, certain ideologies around who you are, what you choose to do, what your hobbies are. Like, listen, if you've never done it before, this is a good time to do it. And that's your mantra, your motto for the month of August. Listen, actionable. Okay.

[00:39:49] We're actionable in August and we are forever grateful for Mr. Gary DeAndre for lending his talent to us because, you know, without him, there would be no purple pants premonitions.
