And remind me, what are the numbers that make up 100? They're one and zero! I told you I was gonna make you cry! You're so stupid! I literally text her, I was like, "I'm gonna make you cry and shit your pants at the same time!" You'll never make me shit anything ever, 'cause I don't poop! [Music] Hi, predator! I'm Ian Caitlyn. Hi, Cassie. [Laughter] Hi, creepy people. Hello!
This is PNW Haunts and Homicides, and I'm sorry you missed the inside joke at the beginning, so... [Laughter] Apparently, if you have the mic situated just right, and I've just taken a nice juicy gulp of rosé, I can make predator sounds. It's literally terrifying, like I peed myself a tiny bit. [Laughter] Your chair might be slightly damp when I get up, and I'm so sorry. I could not do that again. [Laughter] For like a million dollars. Okay, good. To save my life.
We don't want it to happen again, so... Okay. Well, before we start today, I have some very exciting news. Like the most exciting news ever. Ever? Do you remember? Yeah! Forever, ever! So do you all remember the necklace that I lost from episode 62? Your fluorite? Yes, my rainbow fluorite. Well... I found it! [Laughter] I found it! Can you even believe it? 'Cause I can't. [Laughter] I'm seeing it, and I still don't believe it. I did a whole ass episode about losing something, and I found it!
[Laughter]
So I had a ring and AirPods in my pocket in my car, and I went to pull them out of my pocket. And the ring fell down the crack of my seat as everything falls down the crack of your seat. Like we all know. So I give my flashlight out, and I go around the back of the seat, like, shine my flashlight down there, and I see the shiny rock. And I was like, "Oh, weird! So I grabbed the rock." And it's... It's when I got from a suicide prevention walk. It says hope on it.
It was like, "Oh, weird! How'd that get there? I don't know how that got there, to be honest with you." All right. It probably fell out of something somewhere at some point. But it fell in the crack of the seat. Maybe. Established. [Laughter] So then still looking for my ring, I shine the flashlight down there, and I see a shiny black string. And I was like, "No." A... A G string? Not a G string. Okay. Just a regular string. Just... just string. Just shiny black string.
All right. Well, I think we all know where Caitlyn is at. There's my panties. I have a hand on them. Everything's okay. [Laughter] So I see this familiar shiny black string. And I was like, "No fucking way. Is that my lost rainbow, fluorite necklace?" Like, I would know that necklace string anywhere because I was wearing it almost every day for a long time. So I pull it out. Sure shit. It's my fluorite necklace. I have shine the flashlight in that spot. I don't know how many times.
I tore apart my card looking for this thing. And like, my car's a mess. Don't get me wrong. But I mean, it's really not. It was right there, like, right at the back of the seat. Like, I wouldn't have missed it. You know? I didn't even get my ring. I totally forgot about the ring because I was so excited to find my necklace. Because it was like, right there. You know, I would have found it if it was there when I was looking for it. So, weird. Pretty weird to me. That is weird.
I did think that when you sent me the picture, I was like, it was there the whole time. Like, did you not check your car? Yeah, because I like immediately turn my video on once I spot the shine. What the shit was shining by the she-shadowed and the she-short? In the she-short. Once I saw it, I'd turned on my video because I was like, I think this is what it is, but I'm going to take the reveal video of me pulling it out. So, it was right there.
I mean, I'm not going to post the video because my car is disgusting. But I just remember literally thinking, what? Like, what is she doing? I seriously thought like, well, of course you didn't find it until now. It was right there in your car. You didn't check your car? I did. Oh, I did. That is so bizarre. It looks like you would have immediately found it if you checked your car. As someone who has seen this famed video footage. I mean, does the prudor film?
So, in that episode, we talked about how when you lose a crystal, it means that you don't need its particular properties right now. And I just had purchased another crystal that I thought maybe it was telling me I needed that one more. So, looking back, right? Yeah. I 100% needed that particular crystal. And if you want to know what it's for, you can go back and listen. It was episode 62, the lost crystal and the witch's castle. Oh, god, I love that one. That's the one. Right? I know what.
That was a good one. Even though it was kind of sad for me to talk about my lost crystal. It's okay now because you guys know I found it. Oh, yay! Who doesn't love a happy ending? We sure do. So now I think I went through what I needed to go through, what that other crystal was for. And I haven't really been carrying it around anymore. So, I think it was perfect timing to find my other crystal again. Yay! I know. It's like the universe was like, okay, you went through that shit.
Now it's time to focus, get back to work on your creative endeavors. Yay! One, two, three, go. So I went. Do it and now we're at episode 100. Can you believe it? I know. Okay. It's crazy. I would pinch myself, but it would hurt. As indie podcasters, we love to show our support of other awesome shows. So stay tuned for the promo we've got to share with you this week. Let's show them some love you can find their info in our show notes. Did you grow up with a lack of parental supervision?
Do you know all the lyrics to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Remember Mayor McCheeves and the Pride Guys? Have an inexplicable love for the colorful marasers? Can you remember Madonna's original face? And you might be a part of the Doom generation. Last until you cry with us each week as we stumble blindly through the memories of the movie. Another random thing that doomed us to be the salty sarcastic sardonic leaves you want to hang away.
You know us, you love us, you can't fucking live without us. Doom generation. Available everywhere you find podcasts. You guys, we're back. And don't worry, we did get more wine. Well, of course. So Caitlin let me write the 100th episode. Can't believe she trusted me. We like two days before I was like, I got it. Not two days before the episode, just to clarify. Two days before we decided we needed to record the episode, which is still well in advance. It's for me.
I mean, it is for me to be honest. It wasn't the day before. Exactly. We have made monumental strides. You know what it is. It's the crystal. You're goddamn right it is. It is the crystal. It gave me the creative power. To write this episode. So let's get into it. Yay. So first of all, we have this lovely quote in the background. Would you like to read it for us Caitlin? Our Patreon members will get to see it later. Oh man. It's beautiful. It's so beautiful.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Lane Gratsky. Michael Scott. Yeah. So you know any chance to throw an office quote joke in there. Oh yeah. So I thought that was relevant for today because it has the number 100 in it. So I was like, yeah, it does. It's happening. Also, we took a shot, man. Yeah. We took a shot. We did something big. We didn't miss it. It's true. We're still doing it. I know. 100 episodes later. [laughs]
It's so funny because when I read it, I was thinking back to our first pot of nursery when you were telling me and I didn't even really realize until you told me that you were like, I was really scared but I had just decided that I was going to do things. I was going to say yes. Like don't be scared. You dumb bitch. It's just life. Like you're scared. Life. None of us are making it out alive anyway. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And that's what it makes me think of. It feels fitting. It does.
So we all know the number 100 is special. It's a nice, round, full, perfect number. She foe body. Yeah, she got them curves. Got those two zeroes. So like literally, we use 100 to describe something that is whole or finished. Percent means per 100 in Latin, which I'm sure most of you probably knew, but I didn't know. So in case you're like me, I threw the little fact in there. Did you know that? I know. Really? No, I am not fluent in Latin. I mean, but like percent per 100. Like I feel like.
Okay, I thought it was like something everyone knew, but I was like, you know what, I'm going to put it in there anyway. I don't know. I mean, feel free to write in and let us know that 100% of the co-hosts of this show are dumb asses. Please let us know. We love it. Yeah, I don't think so though. I don't think that's like a common. Okay. Yeah. It's also a perfectly square number. Her square root being 10. We're taking it back to math class. Yeah, how far back?
Like. No further than, you know, two days ago for me. We use the 100 emoji to agree or give approval as motivation or congratulations or to emphasize authenticity, such as the hip term, keep it 100. Keep it one. 100. 100. One percent. Yeah. Be know it around here. I think we should say creep it 100. Am I right? I like it. I'm going to pretend like I made that up and that wasn't already a thing because I'm sure like no one else has thought of that. You know what? Does it matter? No. I came from.
I thought of it. Who popularized it? I'm going to use it though. I don't care. Creepy 100. Creepy 100. We might name this episode that. I like it. Yeah. And I would argue most importantly, there are 100 sweat glands per one inch of human skin. Oh boy. Yeah, I feel like that explains a lot. I had to creep it real, you know? I had to throw one creepy back tonight. But how many do I have in my armpit? Because I feel like I have trithle. Maybe. Maybe you're special. That is facial.
But these are not the only things special about everyone's new favorite number 100. Let's break it down. Now I really feel like this is a classroom. I'm sorry everyone, I promise this is fun. I believe her. You did trust me with this. The number one is associated with new beginnings. Manifestation, achievement and success. While the number zero is associated with new beginnings and endless possibilities. Croshing it. Yeah, so they're very similar.
Also obviously because of its shape, zero represents infinity. No endings, no beginnings. Okay. Which is a reminder that you are always connected to something greater than yourself. Which I'm not trying to get all religious or anything, but I feel like the majority of people can agree that there's something bigger out there than just you. Correct. Yeah. Everything is bigger than me. Right.
Whether that's some type of God or higher power or whether that's just the fact that we're a tiny pinprick in the universe, probably less than a pinprick in the universe. I mean, really. Yeah. There's bigger shit out there. Yeah. So put these numbers together and you get something pretty badass. The number 100 represents fresh starts, infinite potential, accomplishment of goals. It's arguably the most positive and optimistic number. I dare you to name one that beats 100. Go. Wrong.
Because there's not one. Oh, I was going to say. I I Okay. You literally can't think of one can you? No, I mean, I can think of two, but for me, neither of these is very applicable. When you have to guess it's 69 and 420. Okay. It's like obvious. That's what everybody is going to be screaming. Yeah. I'm like, I mean, neither of those is. But those are not full and round. They're not perfectly square. They're not.
Yeah. You know, it can be an extremely lucky number for those working hard at their business ventures. It urges you to trust your intuition and trust that everything you're working so hard on will come to completion. Which completion. If you listened all the way through to our Valentine's Day episode, that meaning will sound a little different today. Sorry, not sorry. It also symbolizes enlightenment, self-realization, and creating positive change in your life.
It's a sign that amazing things are on the horizon. Are you quite sure? I think so. Yay. I feel like it is anyway. I don't know about you. I don't know. I get excited about things and that I'm like, oh, I don't know. I haven't seen like second thoughts on our podcast. No, I'm just always like, it's always impending doom. I've always done something wrong. It's broken and/or about to be destroyed. We've just realized today that Caitlin needs past life regression therapy.
Yeah. But on a set of so coming soon. Yeah, I think I have a ghost attached to me that like survive the potato famine or something or didn't survive the potato famine. Oh, you're weak. She's a figure now. Whatever it is. Yeah. That bitch got issues. I'm fine. So I know with this being the 100th episode of the podcast, we're not specifically starting anything new or completing anything. We're not going anywhere. Creepy people don't worry.
Unless Caitlin is really having second thoughts, which then I will panic and quit. No, okay. Are you kidding me? What would I do with all of that free time? Start another podcast. Distinguishing you. Self-care. Yeah. What's that? Meditate. Oh God. But it still feels to me anyway like we're transitioning or moving into a new phase, kind of like leveling up. I feel like 100 is like, you know, it's like a level right? Yeah. The wheat from the chaff. Maybe.
The girls from the ladies, the boys from the men. Yes. We are now men. It is official. This beautiful quote from scar- scar- Sarah. Sarah scoop. Not scar-a soup. Scar-a soup. So I'm do you scare us. You can't. I think you could. Unscarable. Unshakeable. That's it. Unbreakable. This beautiful quote from Sarah scoop.com sums it up nicely. The essence of the number 100 is about new beginnings. Taking action and manifesting your dreams.
This number is a reminder that you have the power to create your reality. Obviously. Which isn't true because I don't have the power to speak correctly. So how can I create a reality? Oh boy. It's fine. You do. You do. Sometimes. Third times a charm. No, I mean you do have the power to create your own reality. Even if I can't speak, okay? Yeah. Okay. Thank you. No, I'm serious. Because what we've done up to this point is I mean we created a whole ass reality like. Yeah, we did.
Thanks, creepy people for coming into our reality with us. We're not alone. Yeah, it's a pretty bizarre alternate reality sometimes. But here we are. I mean, I think the thing that we discount about creating your own reality though is it's not about you always being the one that directly molds it. Because you and I decided to do this. And I think in the beginning you were like, - Oh, shodoh shodoh, shodoh shodoh shodoh shodoh shodoh shed. I was like, yes!
- What did I do, what I can myself and do? - Exactly. And there have been a lot of times where we're like, oh, okay. We're both oh-shitting. - Yeah. - And somehow we kinda made it to this point and sometimes it was you helping me get through the time leading up to our first life. And sometimes it was, you know, me carrying a couple of episodes in a row and like, but we did it. - Yeah. - Like we made that. - We did do it. I don't know how.
I like literally sometimes I'm laying there in bed and I'm like, how did this happen? (laughs) I don't even remember learning how to edit. Like, it's just now it's the thing I do every day. (laughs) - Weird. (laughs) But anyway, there's more. But wait, there's more. - But wait. - So now I wanna relate it back to some tarot because obviously. - It's like our thing, right? Caitlin, what's the card that follows you around? - The magician? - Right. Do you know the number on that card?
- Fuck. - I know I normally do. Now that you asked me, no, I'm gonna make you figure it out. - Not at all. Okay. BRB, you guys. - I'm gonna sip some wine while she figures it out. - Okay. Oh, it's number one. - Correct. - Oh my god. - Now Caitlin, can you tell me my card? - Oh my god. - What's my card? - It's the fool. - And can you tell me the number on that card? - It's your own. (laughs) - And remind me, what are the numbers that make up 100? - They're one and zero.
- I told you I was gonna make you cry. - You're so stupid. - I literally text her, "I was like, I'm gonna make you cry and shit your pants at the same time." (laughs) - You'll never make me shit anything ever 'cause I don't poop. - The magician represents manifestation, resourcefulness, power, inspired action. The number one, representing new beginnings and opportunities. So very, very similar to the number itself meaning and the number in the card meaning.
And the fool represents beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, free spirit. The number zero representing unlimited potential. Although we clearly think that this is something special, one could argue that it's simply just a good old kawink eating. But, let me just blow your mind one more time. - Do it. - Caitlin, question. - What? - Do you know the Roman numeral for 100? - My God, why do you do this? - If you don't know, I'll tell you. - I don't. It's a C. Stop it. - It's a C. - It's just a C?
- It's a C. The Roman numeral. - Stop it. - Also, fun facts. We always talk about how we met in high school and our school was called Sentry. Which is 100 years FYI. Oh, in case you didn't know both of our names start with C. That's why it's kind of cool. - And our production company, the three C's. - The three C's. - Isn't that cool? - I told you.
- My God. - I started writing this and I was like, "What a fucking way!" I also found some good crystals associated with the number 100 just to bring us down a little bit. 'Cause you know, we're all freaking out about the numbers and the C thing. It's fine. So we're gonna talk about some crystals. Because we must always include the pretty rocks. Yeah. We have them actually set out on our altar today. We have some citrine, clear quartz and selenite. Multiple's all over the altar.
Because I was like, "We have to break out all of our crystals." - It's true. - Citrine is known as the success stone. It helps manifest and attract abundance, which we need. - Yeah. Citrine keeps trying to tell me otherwise. - You're not using it right. - I, I, I, I, I knew you have so much citrine. It'll come, it'll come. Patience. Clear quartz is known as the master crystal. It helps amplify energy. And selenite is great for cleansing and clearing out negative energy.
So I actually found a six card business tarot spread. - Oh my God. - Yeah. From tarot guru. But I thought we could do in this episode today. That would be super fun for Patreon to see as well. - Oh my God. You're channeling your inner MBA. Am I? - Yeah. - Business tarot spread. I love that. I thought, I thought you might. So it has the first card being outlook, second card strength. I can't say strengths, strength, strength. Third card weakness for guidance, five support system and six outcome.
And then there is an option to do a seventh card for clarification if we need. Oh my God. You know that I love the number seven, right? - So we can probably pull a seventh card. Yeah. If we need clarifying on any of the other cards. So okay. Should we do it? Should we do the tarot?

Have a safe stay. - Have a safe stay. - Listen, we have to talk because who's come to our attention that this quote was, should we say hold on, should we say what started this conversation? - I don't remember. - It was me saying, you know, I really don't know who Wayne Gretzky is.
I just know it's a Michael Scott joke. - Oh, this joke. - That is correct. - I've watched the episode. I think I would know 'cause I think they probably talk about him. - I am. - But it's been a while. - So here's the thing. If you didn't know, Wayne Gretzky is a hockey player. But this quote has been attributed to not just Wayne Gretzky, but also Michael Jordan, who does the basketball. That's the orange one. - Yeah, it's bigger. It bounces. - The hockey puck. - Puck. - Yeah, puck.
- Yeah. - And it's also been attributed to Sam, excuse me, Sam. - Son of Sam. - David Berkowitz. - I don't think it's true. I think the internet is pranking you, punking you. I feel as though it's a strong possibility. - But wow. Here we are. We're gonna draw our cards now. - Yep. - So we're doing a tarot business spread and our first card is gonna be Outlook. And that is our business Outlook. If you don't know what that means, stay tuned.
- And I'm gonna make Caitlin draw this first card because my brain told me to. - Okay. - And then we're gonna go every other from there. - Grains. - That's what my brain told me to do. - Okay. I don't, I'm paralyzed by fear. I don't know if I should. - Wait, hold on. We can't let fear enter this. We've learned today we talked to Kateesh Haberfield. Did I freaking say her name right? - You just did. - Whoa. - You touched it. - We need to take shots more often. Outlook is positive.
- Yes. We don't need negativity. Negativity is bad. So we need to take a breath in a moment and cleanse ourselves from the negative fear that you're feeling. - The fact that you just nailed that name, I feel pretty good. - Okay. - Okay. - All right. - That was cleansing for us. - The night of wands. - And I'm feeling like our number two card is somewhere in the deck. And it is our strengths. We got the sun card. - Oh, I love that for us. - Next is three weakness. - We don't have any weaknesses.
- Hey, what are you doing? Are you cheating? - What? - We're saving the interpretations for last. - Who? - Who said what? Get out of the interpretation book and draw your number three card. - Okay. Three is our weaknesses. - Okay. It's a three. - Interesting. - Three of wands. Everything is coming up one for me. - Next is four guidance. Guidance, I said that word. - Four guidance. - Guidance. - Guidance. - It's the shot.
- It was like a Christopher walkin type of a, I tried to do an impression of Christopher walkin' the other day and I like failed miserably. It was so sad. It was so sad, you guys. I was upset. Oh, okay. Interesting. - Which is the everything is fine card in reverse. And cool. It's fine. - It's fine. - We'll see what it means. I don't have any fear. - I have no fear. - What's, what am I trying to say? - Five support system. - We'll afford to. - In reverse. - For number five.
- And then our last one is six and that's the outcome. - Okay. - The outcome of our whole business, tarot spread. - So like no pressure. - Yeah, no pressure. - The page of cups. Are you ready to get to the interpretations? I'm kind of like nervous now. Like I will. - Yeah. - Nervous like excited. - Yeah. - Okay. Okay. So the first card is our business outlook, which we got the night of Wands upright. The first card looks at your company's outlook in general.
This tarot card represents how things look in general. So everything's in general. If it wasn't clear. - A major arcana here would be an incredibly good sign for the future, but be aware that the tarot spreads real power is found in the combination. So look beyond this card. We begin with this to get a broad idea of the business and we'll start digging into the specifics with the subsequent cards. - Which is interesting because the subsequent card is the major arcana. - Oh, okay.
And the first time that we ever did a reading for our business, you'll recall, it was a major arcana card. The magician. - Yep. - The Caitlin Pold. - So the night of Wands in the upright position, our keywords are adventure, travel, excitement, movement and restlessness. - Oh, wow. - So it's me. - Just kidding. - We have traveled. - We have. - And we are going to. - Yeah. - In the tarot, nights are traditionally shown on horseback, armored like the nights of old.
Some decks call them princes or naves. The mother piece deck calls them sons. Nights are messengers and travelers. - We're messengers. (laughing) - The night of Wands is an energetic young person, autocorrect? Sometimes seated on a rearing horse. - Ooh. - And he appears to be ready to ride off into the wild blue yonder. - Let's go. - We did, we went. - Yeah, we're still going. - Or perhaps to a jousting match. - Well, I mean, they're still time.
- In a reading, the night may signify an actual person. If so, he's a lively, fun loving adventurer, a dare double, perhaps an athlete. - Wings grisky? - It's not me. - Let's pick it up some Wings gritsky vibes. - There's an extra excerpt. A horse of a different color. The night of Wands reminds us of the days when nights jostled with wooden rods practicing for battle. Different decks portray the night's horse in different colors. Reddish gold in the Rider Weight Smith deck.
Black in the thought tarot and the color holds symbolic meaning. Often the animal charges, prances or rears up on its back legs to depict the gooster. Represented by this card. - Ooh. - When the night of Wands appears upright, he brings good news. - Yay! - Sometimes he represents a trip or relocation. - Ooh. - Some sort of movement or activity is a foot of a happy kind. If the night represents a real person, he's a good-natured and likable chap. - Generous of spirit, idealistic, a loyal friend.
- Aww. - Well, I mean our business is built on our friendship. - Stop crying! - Okay, don't think out. - Okay. - In reading about money, he suggests a fortunate opportunity is on the horizon and/or a financial change is coming. - Oh, snap. - You may receive money unexpectedly. - I, can I tell you something that I learned from another witchy pod? - Yes. - Is to like always say every day, be like I'm open to receiving unexpected abundance.
So like every day, if I remember, I try to just like say that out loud. - Well, I think it's been happening because I am about to be flush with Amazon gift cards for all of the surveys that I've been taking. - Oh my God, I was like, did you scam somebody? (laughs) - I need to be paid in Amazon gift cards. - Or the card may advise you to take a financial risk. - We always take a financial risk. I don't think we're scared. - We don't know how not to. - You can't take it with you.
So. - In a reading about work, the upright night may represent a promotion or a transfer to another local or company. - Wow, why does it keep saying we're moving? - I don't know, Chris literally just said something about we'll get you a studio. (laughs) - He can also point to a business trip in the near future. - Oh, yeah, well that's proof right there. Like that's happening already. So our card, too, is business strengths. - Strength. - Strength. - Strengths. - Strengths. (laughs) - It's fine.
I accept my flaws and I love myself anyway. Okay, the second card from your tarot deck focuses on the strengths and edges of your business. What sets you ahead of the competition, what will customers want to see more of? And we don't like the word customer. - Well, it doesn't really fit for our business model. - We prefer creepy people. - Yeah. - Okay, so what the creepy people want more of? This tarot card will give you inspiration and insight into what will make your business successful.
Leaning into your strengths will be a powerful way to get ahead and might be the difference between success and failure. So this card is very important. - Okay. - It's the sun card. - Upright. - And I know that this is a pretty good card. - Well, and you know, I meant, the sun sign. - Oh yeah, that's true. This is card number 19. - That was just trying to read that. - Yeah. - Which falls on page 199. - Oh, I know how you feel about. - I like the number nine.
- Yeah. - There's a lot of sunflowers on here, which I really, really like, and I have a tattoo of a sunbar. Also, the sun is like significant for me in personal ways. - There's another horse. - Keywords are happiness. (laughing) - Oh my God, I just did it again. Oh my God. - She was the predator. - I was trying really hard. I didn't think it was, okay. I'm gonna go again. - I know I'm in disgusting SWAT monster. - Well, we accept your flaws and we love you.
(laughing) - Keywords are happiness, success, pleasure, self-expression, clarity, and vitality. The sun card features a blazing sun. Sometimes with the face, sun beams radiating out of it. Beneath the sun, in the Rider Waitsmith deck, a smiling nude child rides a white horse, which is #mychildhoodgoles. (laughing) - Naked on a horse, naked on a horse. Some decks show two children with their arms around each other. Other decks picture a young couple holding hands.
(soft music) The sun rules the zodiac sign Leo, which astrologers link with children, pleasure, and creativity. And I only take issue with one of the three. - No. (laughing) - The sun card represents life itself. For the sun gives life to everything on earth. One of the most joyful cards in the tarot, it signifies vitality, confidence, achievement, attainment, and success in all endeavors. - And there's an extra excerpt and... - She's crying. - I'm not, I'm stone faced.
- No tears. - Well, the children reading, yeah, you stupid bitch. I don't tear the eyes. - Each day comes bearing its gifts. Untie the ribbons. - Aww. - Jesus Christ. (laughing) - It just keeps coming better. - No, when I read this, you're gonna flip the fuck out. The sun brightens any negative cards in a reading, no matter where it appears in the spread. - Holy shit. - That they're strength. - Its influence is always beneficial. A new day is dawning and you're glad to be alive.
- Oh, this is so gross. It's like just sunshine and rainbows and babies and candy. You know how I... I found my necklace. I had the suicide prevention, I hope stone with it. And I talked about it today and then... There's no coincidence as people. - Okay, oh my god, it's getting it so much grosser. - Okay. - Whatever your question, the answer is positive. For creative people, the sun can indicate a time of increased inspiration and productivity. - I feel it already. It's the necklace.
I mean, you're not wrong. How did I find this? Like at the perfect time, we're creating our own reality. - I'm creating a reality where I no longer cry. Whatever you undertake at this time is likely to prosper. For the sun is shining on you. This is a good time to start new projects and expand your horizons. It's your day and the sun. - Oh. - In a reading about money, you may receive rewards for your work or talent. Investments and business ventures pay off. Opportunities abound.
- For creative people, this card suggests you'll benefit financially from your artistic endeavors. - Thank god. Am I right? - Oh god, 'cause we can do fuck all else. I mean, that's not entirely true, but you don't have to say. If the reading is about your job, the sun marks a period of prosperity, enthusiasm, honors, public recognition, and attainment. You feel confident in your abilities and attract opportunities to show the world that what you can do. Step into the spotlight.
It's your time to shine. And there's an extra excerpt, but I'm so fucking sick of crying already. - We have spoiler alert, four more, four to five more cards. - I'm not sick. The Sun King, pagan mythology, describes the apparent passage of the sun through the heavens each year as the journey of the sun king, who drives his bright chariot across the sky. In pre-Christian Europe and Britain, the winter solstice celebrated the sun king's birth.
This beloved deity brought light into the world during the darkest time of all. - Well, let's go to weaknesses. So maybe we can stop crying for that. - Yeah. So card three is business weaknesses. Your third card in the business tarot looks at the weakness of your business. The pit falls at lay before you from lack of resources or focus to increased competition or market changes.
The tarot doesn't just give us the answer we want to hear, nor does it give us the reading of doom and gloom, which I say that all the time. It gives us both tips and hope on how to unlock our future. Understanding the obstacles in your business will allow you to prepare and overcome them. Plan ahead for them before they even arise. - She's already fucking crying. - Did we do a good job on the tarot? - It's the three of ones in reverse.
Okay, key words are creativity and skill, self-expression, growth, competence, and manifestation. - Okay. - Now is the time to show the world what you can do. You've worked hard to develop your tones and have confidence in your abilities. You feel passionately about what you do and believe you can inspire others. - Express yourself. - I already know where this is going. - If you asked about a relationship, the three indicates a commitment, an engagement, or a marriage. - Are we getting married?
- Oh wait, that's the upright interpretation. That's hilarious. - I don't think this is right. - Right above the reverse interpretation, the extra excerpt. You and a partner express passionate feelings for each other and celebrate your love. So I mean, whatever, it's the true fits. - Basically what we're doing right now. - Hidden alliances work to move you into your authentic vocation as soon as you begin to commit to it. - What are these hidden alliances?
Things that are unseen that are making the pieces fall into place where they should. And all the pieces fall. - Right into place. - We love Taylor Swift. - Oh my God, I love that song so much. - You still have work to do before you go public with your ideas while too late. (laughing) Perhaps you could benefit from honing your skills. Some areas of an undertaking still need clarification or you may need to win the support and blessing of others in order to advance. - That makes sense.
- In a question about money, this card can mean the financial support you need isn't there at this time. - That is our weakness. (laughing) - That's not wrong. - You might have to work extra hard for a while to make ends meet, be burdened in spending. (laughing) - But the other ones that are investments will pay off, so you know. They shall, mine always do. Everything always goes right for me.
In a reading about work, the reverse three suggests you're not ready yet to market your project or ideas. You feel passionately about what you're doing, but you still have to convince other people to get on board. - That's what we've been doing for a hundred episodes. (laughing) - For artistic people, this card advises, don't give up your day job yet. - We got it, not yet. - Some of us are-- - I wasn't going to, I'm a very practical person. Jesus, so practical.
- Some of us are even trying to get another job, more education for more jobs. All the jobs, it's fine. - Listen, I can work a hundred hours a day, okay? - I'm trying to tell me I can't. - Ridiculous. - Some people have another job, another job, another job, another job, and try to play the ukulele. (laughing) - Well, that's ridiculous, also. - Okay, our fourth card is our guidance for moving forward. Just, you know, like I said, moving on.
- If you choose to use a signifier card to represent you, then your fourth card will give you advice on what it takes to make the business a success. If you don't represent yourself in the business terror reading, then it's advice on what the business as a whole should do. Do we counter ourselves as one person or a whole? - Why don't you let me read you of the interpretation and the card, and then if you, I think I'll let you decide. - There's another paragraph here. - Okay, go ahead.
- This guidance card should incorporate the previous two cards, work with your strengths and be conscious of your weaknesses. This terror card may give you the courage to take risks and warn you when it's time to play it safe. - The Ten of Swords in Reverse. In many decks, the Ten of Swords depicts a man lying on the ground with ten swords stuck in his back. - This isn't shown good for our guidance. - Ten's represent the end of a cycle. - Holy shit. - I'm gonna read it again.
- But we got a 10 and it's 100 and it's the end of the, okay. - One. - Okay, go. - Okay, go. - Ten's represent the end of a cycle and the start of a new one. - Wow. - Therefore, this card symbolizes an end to the suffering and sadness you've endured. - Oh, just in time. - For you probably couldn't stand much more. - Reverse the Ten of Swords suggests you're unwilling to take the steps that will move you to a better place. Perhaps you're deceiving yourself or you're stalling due to fear.
- Killing you need to meditate. (laughs) - Just kidding. - But delaying only makes things worse. Stop making excuses and choose a course of action. Bitch. - It's interesting that it's guidance on moving forward and it's like stop fucking around and make a decision. - In a reading about love, you may still be smarting from a deception, disappointment, or betrayal. But at least you can see more clearly now. If a relationship has ended, you may experience a new sense of freedom. - Hell yeah.
(laughs) - In a reading about money, the Reverse Ten can represent a time of recovery after hardship or loss. A new cycle is beginning and better times may wait around the corner, but you must take the first step. - Dude, doesn't it say, okay, first of all, this card is 10, it's a 1 and a 0, it's me and Kayla and it's episode 100. The 100 is the square, the 10 is the square root of the hundred.
- Yeah, okay, so what I wrote is this is a sign that amazing things are on the horizon, but I remember in the article I was reading, it specifically said, good times are on the way. Like, didn't you just read that? - Yeah, if the reading is about your job, you still feel insecure about your future. But in order to get to a more satisfactory place, you'll have to take a risk. Stop letting the past prevent you from embracing new possibilities. - Hell no, the past is the past.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Take your risk, that's literally what it says. - Yeah, I mean, how is all of this tying together? She had no idea, we didn't know the cards we were gonna pick. - Oh God. - So weird. - So what is five? - What is the fifth card? It is the Wheel of Fortune in reverse. - Let me read the thing. - Which is also the tenth card. In the major arcane. Just FYI. - Okay, holy fucking shit. - Okay, card five is our support system.
The fifth card from your tarot deck focuses on those in your life who can help you and your business survive. It could be a business partner. - Me too, Karlin. - A spouse, a friend, or even a loyal customer. Even a loyal, creepy person, spreading the word for you. Yeah. This isn't to say you need anyone but yourself. But just to like luck, practice, and mindset, every little edge you can give yourself might go a long way.
And there might be somebody there who can help propel you forward if you let them. This tarot card acknowledges that doing everything yourself isn't always the best strategy. Lean on those who are there for you, both emotionally and practically with your business. Wheel of Fortune, which is the tenth of the major arcana cards. - Interesting. Not surprising at this point. - Keywords are change, destiny, unexpected turn of events, and good luck.
Some decks depict the wheel of fortune with eight spokes, a reference to the eight pagan sabats or holidays that mark the sun's annual passage across the sky and the ever-turning cycles of life. - Huh, the sun. Other decks show human or mythological figures attached to the wheel, indicating we're all tied to the wheel of time and subject to life's ups and downs.
The writer Weiss Muthdack includes winged versions of astrological symbols, which represent the four elements in the card's corners, suggesting the influence of divine forces. Consciously or unconsciously, you've put something in motion and you now have little or no control over the outcome. - Oh shit. - A new phase in your life is beginning. An important decision must be made or an upcoming circumstance will change your life. Destiny is at work and you have to accept whatever happens.
All you can do is attune yourself to the forces operating now. - Interesting how I also talked about like a change and like a transition. The wheel of fortune is linked to the three other fates, collectively called the Marae in Greek mythology. One spins the thread of life, the second weaves it and the third cuts it. - The three C's.
- Oh my God. Thus the wheel of fortune is a reminder of the mysterious cycles of life, death and rebirth and of the invisible forces that measure them out to each of us. The wheel of fortune is often linked with karma, which we can describe in what's known as the Wicken Read. - By the Wicken Law you must. - Ye. - Ye. - Ye. - Ye. - By the Wicken Law you must. In perfect love and perfect trust. Eight words, the Wicken Read fulfill. And your harm none, do what you will.
What yees and fourth comes back to thee. So ever mind the rule of three. Follow this with mind and heart and marry you meet and marry your part. - Well. - Reverse the wheel of fortune can indicate losses or that a situation will turn out badly. More often it suggests you're trying to avoid your destiny, refusing to make the necessary changes or take the required actions. Fear of the unknown is blocking you and this is causing stagnation and frustration.
It's time to take the wheel and do what you know you need to do. - Jesus take the wheel. - In a reading about money, the reversed wheel can indicate ups and downs in your finances and investment may be unstable or fear may cause you to miss an opportunity. Perhaps the time simply isn't right for big gains. Be patient but remain alert. - That's interesting. For reasons I'm not gonna say on the podcast. - Yeah, this is so funny because it makes so much more sense in that placement.
- Mm-hmm. - It does. If the reading is about your job, you may experience delays or disappointments because you lack commitment. A job change may not be advantageous now. Either you're not prepared to make this move or the position you're considering isn't stable. - Our support system, I feel like it's talking about money. - Yep. - Like I feel like our family, our friend support system is fine. - Yeah. - But like that's the concern.
- So I just wanna say quickly that we, we couldn't reveal everything that we saw in this card out loud on the pot. But yeah, it makes sense for us. So I just wanna say that 'cause we can't talk about every detail of our personal lives. - Just trust us. - Just trust us, it's fine. Okay, card six, final outcome. Page of cups. The final card from this tarot spread focuses on the potential outcome of your business in the next three months. Three.
Your final card looks at the long term outcome of your business. It gives you insight into the foreseeable future and might be the most important in the spread. The page of cups are keywords are naivete. Oh, openness, sensitivity, immaturity and lack of boundaries, which, hello. (laughing) - It's me. Hi. I'm the problem is me. Also me, myself and I, all of us. In some tarot decks, the page appears as a child, which suddenly I am taking a serious issue with Leo's being associated with children.
(laughing) - You're the child, don't you see? (laughing) - I go by myself. - You're literally this, you told me today you buy child-sized boots. Listen, children's shoes are cheaper, okay? It's just economics. Anyway. Consequently, page cards represent innocence or the initial stages of a situation. Did it or did it not say the next three months? - Yeah, it did. - Boo yeah. - And we talked about 100 being, you know, the start of, it could be the start of a cycle. - Bitch we did. - Oh man.
Sometimes the page of cups is shown contemplating a fish. This one sure is, which is weird. It's a fish. What is there to contemplate? A symbol of the water element. - Oh that's me. - Hi. - Hi Crap. - Hi. - Anyway. - Oh Crap, this is me. When the page of cups shows up, it suggests intuition and innate artistic slash creative abilities. - That's us. - But you haven't developed these yet. - Fuck you. - Go fuck yourselves. Not totally, we're never done learning. It's fine, I get it.
- It also indicates emotional immaturity. Yeah, we got fart jokes for days. What of it? - The people like it. They love it. Wait, do you guys like it? - Do you guys like it as well? - You guys like it, right? - Let us know. - We're also really insecure. If this card represents an actual person, here she is probably young. Oh my God, basically, you beat us. Inexperienced in love, false, but whatever. And perhaps overly trusting naive or idealistic in the extreme.
Okay, listen, I'm feeling very attacked. - Okay. (laughing) - It's so cute. Oh, God dammit, and it doesn't get better. There's no bad cards. - This bitch. - When the page of cops appears, it can indicate self-esteem issues. - What? - It's ridiculous. Perhaps you look to others to define you or place too much trust in people. - What? - It also suggests a keen intuition and latent artistic ability. - Well, that's true. - Which is it? - We have keen intuition, or are we too trusting?
You gotta pick one. - Well, two things can be true, but in this case, only one of them is. - Oh, I fucking hate feelings. Have I mentioned that? - Yes. - Okay. - Sometimes, this card shows you facing an emotional issue about which you feel uncertain or unprepared, which is all of them because feelings are gross. It can also represent the early stages of a relationship.
If the page stands for a real person, he or she may be a younger sibling or a child or a friend, particularly an imaginative, sensitive, or idealistic one. - Interesting. - In a reading about money, the page indicates, naïve té, in money matters. Perhaps you've got your head in the clouds or don't know how to manage your finances. - I mean, contrary to what every other card says.
- Yeah. - Sometimes, this card recommends seeking guidance from an expert, but it can also show your two trusting of others. So do I ask for a second opinion or not? - Definitely. Okay, so there's a card seven, clarity if you need it. This is clearly the one we need clarity on, 'cause of work and views. - If the reading is about your job, this card may represent the beginning of a new job or create a venture, or it can mean you're studying to improve your skills and marketability.
- Oh, are we, are we studying up? - Do you think there's ever a time where I'm not studying something? - Hello, marketability baby. Boom, boom. Sometimes, it urges you to stand up for yourself instead of trusting others in your workplace. - Trust no one. - Is it saying not to trust each other 'cause we're in each other's workplace? - I feel like it's throwing us some stuff where we need it in like, I feel like this is more-- - Like other places in our life, other than the business. - I think so.
- Okay, so I think we definitely need clarity on this final outcome thing. - I mean, I feel good about it, but I also really like the number seven, so we're gonna do it. - Yeah, you can pull an optional final card for clarity on something specific that has come up during your spread. Just be clear about what you want to clarify before pulling the card. Just be clear about what you wanna clarify and keep it focused on the business and nothing too personal.
I think that's very, you literally just said it was telling us maybe stuff for our personal life and it just said, make sure in this last card, you think about business and not the personal. Interesting. If your clarifying cards get too broad or off topic, then you should do a separate terror reading afterwards. Well, I think we're gonna probably nail it on this clarified card, so-- - Nailed it. - Yeah. The Empress, and aside from number seven, number three is like kind of my shit.
- Is it number three, really? That's been like a theme sort of too. And our lives as well as this reading in particular. - Keywords are creativity, feminine power, mature women, fertility and pleasure. - Why is everything about fertility and children? Who's getting pregnant? - Fertility can mean, it can be almost interchangeable with abundance. - If you think about it. - Okay. - Yeah, you're right. - The Empress symbolizes feminine power in the material world. - Hell yeah.
In contrast to the high priestess, who represents feminine spiritual power. A card of beauty and creativity, the Empress is depicted as the universal mother who governs procreation, nurturing, the security and comforts of home and domestic harmony. She's usually shown as a mature female figure, sometimes seated on a throne, sometimes in nature surrounded by flowers and vegetation indicating fruitfulness. The Empress is linked to Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure.
And some decks include the astrological glyph for the planet on this card. There's an extra excerpt. The Lady is the Goddess, the feminine energy behind manifest nature. - Oh. - The bestower of fertility and creativity who brings all seeds to fruition. - I like that. - The Empress represents strong feminine energy and may describe a mother figure or a mature artistic creative person, whether she rules the home or a business, she represents female authority.
- You know what's interesting is the page of cups that something about a child and like, naivety and childlike, and then our clarifier card is like strong independent, badass woman. - It's like JK big dick energy. - So like the next three months is gonna be like kind of like we're figuring things out. And then after that, we're gonna be badass, mature creative woman running a business. - I'm just pretending it's three months from now. Like as far back as three years ago. - It's what?
- It's a three that we got. - It is. - I feel like it's saying after three months. - I don't wanna read that one. - Okay. - It's only three months, Kyl and B patient. Okay. - That's just-- - It is tell us to be patient. - That's kind of weird. A couple personal experiences recently have been screaming at me to be fucking patient, which I'm not good at. So I had sent something in the mail to somebody, and it never got there. And it'd been like two months.
And I was like, "Fuck it, I'm gonna send it through Amazon." The day before it arrived from Amazon, they got the thing I sent in the mail. And this is happens like three different times. Like not that specific thing, but like things telling me like bitch, be patient. - Sit down. - So interesting that we're getting them as a couple. - Be humble. - Again.
- A card of fertility, she signifies abundance of all kinds and shows your capacity for nurturing, caring, and supporting others as well as yourself. - I just got the weirdest mental image, and I have to say it. - Why? - So I just pictured Kyl and with a baby, but it's like not a human baby, it's like a podcast baby. And then she shoots money out of her scooter. Like the Uno attack. - Hey, that is the literal mental image that I got. It was very strong.
- I am so pleased that my birth canal is, as impressive in your dreams. As I imagine it is in others. In a man's reading, the Empress may encourage him to recognize the feminine component, component in himself. So I guess this was meant for all three of the sees. - We do get him to bring out his feminine side. - There's an extra excerpt. When the Empress appears, ask yourself these questions. How do you show love and caring? Where do you express your creativity? What nurtures you?
Is there a situation in your life where support or caretaking is needed? In a reading about money, the Empress indicates good fortune and success. You possess abundant resources and know how to use them productively. - That's what I'm talking about, page of cups. She can also recommend joining resources with a partner or group to increase financial gains. If the reading is about work, you're involved in a creative project and giving it your all. And success is likely. Hell yeah. That's perfect.
She may show that you've got things under control or advise you to take charge and work congenially toward a common goal. The message to you is find harmony, unite disparate factors and reconcile differences for the good of all. And there's one more extra excerpt. One more.
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. - I love that. You know what's really funny is, I always thought the Empress looked like a really pretty card, a really powerful card. And I really liked that it was third in the major arcana, but I never get it. You've got it now.
Wow. So I mean, I feel like we don't really need a lot of clarification on the lot of those cards 'cause we talked a lot and yeah. So I don't know if anyone has anything else to say about it, something maybe we didn't see let us know, but we're gonna end our hundredth episode. Oh my God, it's like ending. Like we're moving on, we're graduating. It feels like we're graduating. - Yeah. - Okay. Happy Creepy Last Day. See you next Tuesday.
Unless you didn't take that shot and listen to us 'cause you're fucking missing 100% of all of the shots that we took. We're taking a shot with Chris because he is a big part of this podcast. Yes, he is, don't let him fool you. He's a lot of help. And you know, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Sure. - Cheers, happy one, good job. - Peace everybody. - I'm glad mine's Robert. - Okay. - Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's pretty good. Is that peach? - That's peach.
