                                         that so that'll be nice just to have a day together um and then we went we took the girls
                                         
                                         to the aquarium yesterday at Dubai Mall oh it was one of them things where it was like we just
                                         
    
                                         wanted to do something fun with them and we thought right we'll take them to see the fishes
                                         
                                         and they loved it they did like they were like proper like looking up looking around everything but then I think Blake got motion sickness
                                         
                                         because well you know what she's like right if anyone can describe Blake they describe her as
                                         
                                         looking surprised all the time so even like last night my friend came around with a little girl
                                         
                                         and she said and she was doing an impression of Blake and she was like this like her eyes were like open so wide eyebrows
                                         
                                         really high that is how Blake looks all the time right so anyway we're looking at all these fishies
                                         
                                         and everything and they like go over you you know like yeah so you go through this tunnel
                                         
                                         and then we came out and we needed to go to the next bit and you had to go through a little upper lift so we went up with this lift and then we were like oh they
                                         
    
                                         need feeding so we'll just give them a little pouch before we go into the next bit we gave them
                                         
                                         a pouch oh my god jess blake the textile vomited twice oh no it just threw out of her mouth i've
                                         
                                         never seen anything like it they've never been sick before
                                         
                                         like actual sick like they've had they spit up but they've never been sick so it was the first
                                         
                                         time experiencing that and me and Andy literally just looked at each other in shock because we
                                         
                                         were just like oh my god what do we do like how do we deal with this and honestly there were so
                                         
                                         many things in that moment to be grateful for
                                         
                                         because I was with Andy,
                                         
    
                                         there was no one around,
                                         
                                         every surface was washable and wipeable
                                         
                                         and he was absolutely fine.
                                         
                                         Like she was like laughing after it.
                                         
                                         So I was like, right, well,
                                         
                                         let's not overreact here then
                                         
                                         because everything is fine.
                                         
                                         Took us to the toilet,
                                         
    
                                         got cleaned up and everything.
                                         
                                         Like we had everything that we needed to get changed and whatever so it's fine but um yeah

                                         really believe it to be honest i didn't believe it until he bought the flights yeah so like i
                                         
                                         haven't really told many people because i genuinely didn't believe it because i was like i just can't
                                         
    
                                         i don't know i just couldn't imagine it actually happening and then as soon as he sent through the
                                         
                                         flights i was like right okay this is actually happening and also you had your reels that I saw from L'Oreal with the mental health
                                         
                                         awareness day oh yeah yeah yeah like you know what I filmed that ages ago so I kind of not forgot
                                         
                                         about it but I don't know like I suppose I just put it to the back of my mind so I did this campaign
                                         
                                         with L'Oreal called Head Up.
                                         
                                         And if anyone hasn't seen it,
                                         
                                         and basically it's where they've got this new app,
                                         
                                         which is for hairdressers and hairstylists
                                         
    
                                         who are struggling with their mental health.
                                         
                                         And they then have a bit of a community to go to.
                                         
                                         And they can have other people there
                                         
                                         who are dealing with the same things.
                                         
                                         And sorry, my nose is so blocked.
                                         
                                         I keep getting an itchy nose while you're talking.
                                         
                                         I can't stop itching it.
                                         
                                         Maybe I'm feeling it.
                                         
    
                                         That means you're going to have an argument, doesn't it?
                                         
                                         I thought it was a surprise.
                                         
                                         Oh, I hope it's a surprise.
                                         
                                         I also just get an itchy nose when I'm normally doing readings.
                                         
                                         It's like spirit itch my nose.
                                         
                                         It's very bizarre.
                                         
                                         Maybe they think I'm working.
                                         
                                         I hate that.
                                         
    
                                         It's been like this for ages.
                                         
                                         But yeah, so they've got this um amazing campaign and community that they're building for hairdressers with mental health and they messaged me and asked me if I would be
                                         
                                         one of the I don't know faces of it um so I went and filmed a video and had to discuss about how
                                         
                                         I was feeling when I was doing my fertility treatment etc and like the journey to becoming a mum and I it's really weird because I've obviously spoken
                                         
                                         about it loads whether it be on social media or on this podcast speaking about it in a room
                                         
                                         with people that you don't know with a camera pointed at you is so different yeah it was all
                                         
                                         of a sudden I was like I didn't expect it to be difficult at all
                                         
                                         and then it just was and before I'd gone and kind of like written a script of what I wanted to say
                                         
    
                                         and the first shot of the video I read the script and then the the one woman who I didn't know in
                                         
                                         the room um she said to me she was like you're reading a script she was like you're not describing
                                         
                                         to me how you feel and I was like right okay so I took away the script and then I just spoke and she was like
                                         
                                         this is amazing and like she's so good bless her like she was amazing at like gassing me up and
                                         
                                         making me feel good um but yeah so then I did that which was incredible I had such lovely feedback
                                         
                                         from it and it was just really lovely like even after I'd done it there
                                         
                                         was a lot of women who were working on the shoot that day and they like wanted to sit and chat to
                                         
                                         me afterwards because one of them was clearly going through it yeah and it was really nice to

                                         be a bit weird um if you were yeah like I feel I know um I feel like I I know I'm gonna miss them
                                         
    
                                         so I feel sad that I'll miss them for four days and I just hope that they're all right during
                                         
                                         those four days like I know they that they're all right during those four
                                         
                                         days like I know they're going to be well looked after I don't worry about them being looked after
                                         
                                         not in the right way because I've got an amazing nanny I've got obviously my husband's incredible
                                         
                                         and he'll be in work so it'll be fine yeah I think it'll be fine like I'm not stressed about
                                         
                                         it I'm not worried about it I just hope that they're okay in terms of like
                                         
                                         I'd hate if one of them was sick or something like that you know yeah that's natural yeah
                                         
                                         no I feel I feel all right about it and obviously Bali's quite far away like it's a nine hour flight
                                         
    
                                         Jesus I know and I'm going for like four days so it's a long way to go for four days but
                                         
                                         I'm planning on you know really making the most out
                                         
                                         of that flight and just chilling out well and also you've had such a mental time I think this
                                         
                                         is really good and I think this is the right way to serve babes so just enjoy it yeah yeah I feel
                                         
                                         like I need to really step back from my life at the moment like not really my home life but my
                                         
                                         work life to be able to look at everything a little bit clearer yeah I think you had a lot of away yeah yeah and I think that when you step away
                                         
                                         you're then able to reflect and make more decisions when you're in it you can't so
                                         
                                         yeah it's like a good plan the hotel as well I've got to tell you this the hotel I'm staying at in Bali offers um like Balinese healing oh babes so I think I'm adding
                                         
    
                                         up to that do it yeah yeah I think if I do it then I'll let you know what it was like yeah please do
                                         
                                         I've not had Balinese healing I've had a Balinese massage which is great but
                                         
                                         yeah well definitely one of them as well while I'm there that's bloody lutey girl i have one every day here in thailand it's ridiculous i love it i just love it i've just yeah and it's so cheap but i normally just
                                         
                                         get like the foot massage which is like the half the leg and foot and it's like reflexology
                                         
                                         and i love it and how long do they do it for like an hour wow an hour yeah but it's really good yeah but like it's really
                                         
                                         good like they really spend time on all your muscles and your legs and then they do like
                                         
                                         like obviously the reflexology part it's lovely and then they do like a little shoulder and head
                                         
                                         massage as well the last sort of five ten minutes which is great yeah costs about eight pound eight oh my god no
                                         
    
                                         what are you doing every day it's not far for a paper of coffee in Dubai oh my god coffee like
                                         
                                         well I'm not drinking coffee but um my daily spending is just ridiculously cheap now like I
                                         
                                         just I can't you don't even want to know what mine is. Yeah, mine was a joke. In Dubai sometimes I'd be so desperate for a coffee,
                                         
                                         I would spend about £12 on getting one delivered.
                                         
                                         And then I would do that every day and I'm thinking,
                                         
                                         I've just spent nearly like over 60 quid a week on a shitload.
                                         
                                         My dad and I used to go to the salon, it's terrible for that.
                                         
                                         They'll often get them delivered every day.
                                         
    
                                         And like I went through
                                         
                                         a little phase of doing it and then all of a sudden I was like this is ridiculous like what
                                         
                                         you were saying like you add it up and you're like this is absurd um and I actually I the other day
                                         
                                         was going to the salon and I actually stopped at a coffee shop got out the car I went in and got
                                         
                                         one and I was like this is so much more enjoyable yeah different like here in
                                         
                                         Chiang Mai so I'm staying in an area called Ninh Man and it's like the whole culture is based on
                                         
                                         coffee shops it's very cool like coffee shop it's all independence it's like oh I love that rows and
                                         
                                         rows of streets of independent coffee shops clothes shops and like amazing restaurants it's great and um I just pop to
                                         
    
                                         different coffee shops and I've only found two that do decaf so obviously that's what I've been
                                         
                                         having I'll just go and have a mint tea or something like or just this coffee so so I'm
                                         
                                         still probably having caffeine with things like a mint tea. I'm sure there's caffeine in green tea and stuff.
                                         
                                         But do I miss coffee?
                                         
                                         No, I don't.
                                         
                                         So it was really hard to stop it.
                                         
                                         And this is like a big thing that I'm working for at the moment is like my desires.
                                         
                                         And this has kind of come up from my tantric experience
                                         
    
                                         that like we find desires because that then fills that void of
                                         
                                         like the inner love that we should be giving to ourself. So like coffee, food, like I definitely
                                         
                                         eat to like fulfill something, not to fill my tummy, but to fulfill some emotion. Like,
                                         
                                         and I think a lot of people with food understand that um so I've been really reflecting
                                         
                                         on things that I desire and like why do I desire it and it's like it's a little bit deep I think
                                         
                                         that's so interesting because as you just said I'm just thinking like 100% like if I have a glass of
                                         
                                         wine for example it's not that I need the glass of wine it's because like yeah yeah like oh yeah there's
                                         
                                         something that's made you think that you want it oh I need a glass of wine I'm so stressed
                                         
    
                                         last night I was sat in the garden so I was like I obviously need a beer because I'm sat in the
                                         
                                         garden yeah yeah so it's like you're giving yourself like fake love so yeah it tricks your
                                         
                                         body and that's basically what I've been learning and for me like
                                         
                                         I've really struggled with my body my whole life I've struggled with my eating habits it's been
                                         
                                         such a big probably the biggest thing that I've had to deal with and I've always been
                                         
                                         slightly overweight or definitely overweight and I think when I did lose weight it was in a really
                                         
                                         unhealthy way and it's just been something that I've not been able to really
                                         
                                         master um but when I was um studying at that course and then I've been obviously spending
                                         
    
                                         more time with the teachers we're really exploring desires and it's kind of been a bit of a light bulb
                                         
                                         for me of like how I approach food how I approach alcohol how I approach coffee
                                         
                                         and it's been quite incredible actually like how I've been doing more self-work and inner work and
                                         
                                         I'm not as hungry like I actually don't think my hunger was hunger I think it was just trying to
                                         
                                         feel something that I was lacking um so with coffee I've literally drunk coffee
                                         
                                         since the age of 16 and I um was well and truly addicted to coffee like I would have three cups
                                         
                                         of coffee a day see well firstly sorry I just want to add into that you look amazing and you've
                                         
                                         always looked amazing no you do you've always always you know you don't to me ever look
                                         
    
                                         unhealthy overweight the things that you've just said about yourself so I don't want you to feel
                                         
                                         that way because I don't think anybody else would ever describe you as that um but I think that it's
                                         
                                         however you feel yourself and I think the yeah it's hard when like you say you feel like you
                                         
                                         depend on something and yeah coffee obviously must be a big one you know what hard when like you say you feel like you depend on something and yeah coffee obviously
                                         
                                         must be a big one you know what as well like you notice it a lot when when then when you're
                                         
                                         pregnant and you can't have things like that well I always feel like it's really weird that like I
                                         
                                         kind of do things like already and I thought well we've cut out coffee when when I do feel pregnant
                                         
                                         one day that won't be a hurdle
                                         
    
                                         I've got to overcome so I kind of look at these things as like future me will be grateful which
                                         
                                         is quite nice and thank you for that yeah and I think for me I've I've just in general had such a
                                         
                                         such a hot negative way that I talk about myself and I still do like you know and I was doing yoga this
                                         
                                         morning and I was looking at myself in the mirror and I was like oh and I was like god like you're
                                         
                                         so programmed to just be horrible to yourself um and there are moments where I feel great you know
                                         
                                         and it's like definitely a journey that I think I'm finally ready to face without having any like extreme
                                         
                                         diets like this is more about what my like actually connecting to my body and understanding
                                         
                                         what my body wants and it doesn't want coffee so I've cut it out basically for the last three
                                         
    
                                         weeks I think the first week I did have two coffees like midweek I had them felt guilty felt like I didn't need it and
                                         
                                         then made a decision to stop so it's you know been a drastic change and since then I've not had coffee
                                         
                                         I'm waking up more alert I feel like I could take on the day as soon as I wake up
                                         
                                         I feel so much more productive in myself with my work and how I'm showing up for my clients
                                         
                                         which is great um and it was a bit of a battle last I think maybe last week or the week before
                                         
                                         I couldn't stop thinking about coffee I was like I want it I need it I'm in this place where there's
                                         
                                         coffee shops everywhere so I have just been cold turkey found two places with decaf I've had mint
                                         
                                         tea like I say and whatever and I feel better for it so what I've now done is I've now got a system
                                         
    
                                         that works okay because I stopped the caffeine I brought it back in didn't like it it then felt
                                         
                                         better to let go of it okay it didn't feel like this really hard thing.
                                         
                                         So I'm now exploring red meat as the next thing for me
                                         
                                         because not-
                                         
                                         You've had that for a while, haven't you?
                                         
                                         It just isn't good for my bowels.
                                         
                                         And I'm going to keep with white meat
                                         
                                         because I think as well what I've been learning,
                                         
    
                                         I've learned a really good action plan from my studies recently.
                                         
                                         Now I've kind of got coffee under control.
                                         
                                         I can now tackle my next thing and it is literally red meat.
                                         
                                         So I implemented it back in yesterday and instantly my body was just like, no.
                                         
                                         So then that's reaffirmed to me that I'm now taking that out of my diet.
                                         
                                         And I'm going to see how long it takes because I love
                                         
                                         sausages like I know that's really random but like I really chicken sausages or turkey sausage
                                         
                                         this is it so like obviously in Chiang Mai it's a bit difficult to find these alternatives so I
                                         
    
                                         just I'm going to be more on a fish diet which is fine um so now I am intentionally not having red meat and I've done it. Sam introduced
                                         
                                         me to Trello, which has changed my life. And I have a list now of my desires and I'm just sort
                                         
                                         of gradually working through them all. And like other ones is alcohol. I hardly drink now, but
                                         
                                         when I do, I don't feel great. So I think that's probably going to stop at some point.
                                         
                                         And then TikTok scrolling is a desire.
                                         
                                         I love to scroll on TikTok.
                                         
                                         When you say a desire then, sorry,
                                         
                                         you mean this is something that you do that maybe isn't great for you?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, so there's a desire.
                                         
                                         Like desire can not always be a good thing.
                                         
                                         So, you know, when you desire someone in love, it might not be the right love for desire can not always be a good thing so you know when you desire
                                         
                                         someone in love it might not be the right love for you it could be a toxic love so like desire
                                         
                                         is like there's something that your body's trying to tell you but what you do is you then put it to
                                         
                                         something else so like I actually desire a really you know healthy energetic spiritual body and I want to fill my body with that so I want to show up really
                                         
                                         well for my clients well I need to have coffee so I'm alert because that's what will you know
                                         
                                         that's the desire you know right that's not right you know so actually I can do other things with
                                         
    
                                         my body and with my energy that I've got so yeah so yeah so like TikTok is something I do to like kind of
                                         
                                         just let time go by um so yeah and then I'm just sort of as I'm noticing certain desires I don't
                                         
                                         really desire chocolate sometimes I like crisps but not often um so yeah I'm just just reflecting
                                         
                                         on my desires it's quite cool yeah I think it is good yeah it's interesting
                                         
                                         I feel like I've not got any real addictions I was trying to think about it as you were saying it
                                         
                                         because I've given up coffee many times but just not not uh consciously I'll just go off it a bit
                                         
                                         and then I'll just not have it for like a little bit and then I'll have it again and then maybe
                                         
                                         sometimes I'll have one a day then sometimes I might might have two. Like I kind of, for me, it's not the caffeine.
                                         
    
                                         It's the comfort of a warm drink.
                                         
                                         And it's the, it fills me up.
                                         
                                         That's what I'd say it is.
                                         
                                         But yeah, it's interesting that you say that.
                                         
                                         I also think where I've given up milk,
                                         
                                         I've had to not milk.
                                         
                                         It makes it very easy to then, easier easier anyway to be able to give up anything
                                         
                                         else yeah and I think that's it like I wouldn't say I've really given up many things in my adult
                                         
    
                                         life if I want it I have it um yeah but but your desires can be everyday habits that you're you're
                                         
                                         not even aware of so what you're doing is you're opening your awareness to things that you're doing
                                         
                                         that aren't good for you that are harming you that you're not even aware of you know so that that's what it's about so maybe it's rushing
                                         
                                         and you're always rushing or maybe you're like this isn't good for me every time I rush I feel
                                         
                                         my blood pressure get higher I feel my heart get faster but I still rush every day that to me is
                                         
                                         like something I would change you know like, like that sort of stuff. And
                                         
                                         how do I do that? So what you do is you just sort of start to observe your day and then start
                                         
                                         looking at things. And for me, desires is my thing, but for you, it could be habits. You don't
                                         
    
                                         know. So you just sort of them. Yeah. It's interesting. So anyway, that's, that's what
                                         
                                         I'm focusing on. Um, but I was back at the tantra place on the weekend
                                         
                                         getting all crazy doing a cacao ceremony again I think they doused my cacao with something deeper
                                         
                                         because I was a wild woman on Sunday night I'm telling you they're putting stuff in your drink
                                         
                                         there I just think I'm high on life there's going to be a documentary come out about it one day
                                         
                                         honestly I I think there are places that are corrupt and I really don't think this place is income high on life there's going to be a documentary come out about it one day honestly
                                         
                                         I I think there are places that are corrupt and I really don't think this place is I think what
                                         
                                         it shows you is when an energy is I don't know there's just something really like I'm sure I
                                         
    
                                         don't know it's just it's it's just great but yeah maybe who knows but I actually find in the
                                         
                                         spiritual community there are a lot
                                         
                                         of places that are very commercial and corrupt um that I don't really connect myself with or
                                         
                                         align with but this is like the first place where I'm like this is fucking incredible um and I feel
                                         
                                         so yeah so good um but yeah so we were all dancing around the fire we were doing this thing called curtain singing or curtain singing where it's basically like mantras and stuff and and we were channeling
                                         
                                         like goddesses of the cacao it was really cool like it was a bit crazy my mum messaged me like
                                         
                                         oh my god you're such a hippie now and then she was like I hope I didn't offend you I was like no
                                         
                                         it's good um but yeah I basically was loving life I took I didn't offend you. I was like, no, it's good. I'm just kidding.
                                         
    
                                         But yeah, I basically was loving life.
                                         
                                         I took my bra off because I just wanted my boobs to be free.
                                         
                                         I wasn't like boobies out.
                                         
                                         It was, you know, I had a flowy t-shirt. I was about to say, did you have a top on or?
                                         
                                         I think I could have taken my top off, to be honest.
                                         
                                         I was ready to get naked, but I was, you know, more conscious of, you know,
                                         
                                         everyone else probably didn't need that.
                                         
                                         But no, it was great. And it made me laugh because the teacher came up to me he's like this israeli guy and
                                         
    
                                         he's very wise and has lots of knowledge and he was like jessica wow you look alive
                                         
                                         it's like congratulations like you know thank you i was like i feel like i've
                                         
                                         activated something in me so So that was quite sweet.
                                         
                                         So yeah, so it's good.
                                         
                                         It's been fun.
                                         
                                         It's been a good week.
                                         
                                         I'm feeling really connected spiritually, probably more than I ever have.
                                         
                                         And then I'm thinking about all my plans because I'm back.
                                         
    
                                         Well, I'm detouring back to Dubai, Sri Lanka, and then going home for Christmas. I'm just sort of working out life with all those things.
                                         
                                         And then my plan is to set up in Chiang Mai for the new year again,
                                         
                                         which is great.
                                         
                                         So I'm just sort of putting a bit of intention into future me right now,
                                         
                                         which is really nice.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's great.
                                         
                                         I'm really glad that you're doing all that.

                                         this weekend so maybe he is just on the cusp yeah yeah yeah my sister's a Libra her husband's a Libra, her husband's a Libra, my ex-boyfriend was a Libra.
                                         
                                         So there's a few around me.
                                         
                                         And in my natal chart, I am a Libra rising.
                                         
                                         And that part of your chart is your first house, which is yourself.
                                         
                                         And it's kind of the journey you're going on on a soul level.
                                         
                                         So Libra is really important to me.
                                         
    
                                         So it's really nice to share the Libra ways. So Libra is really important to me. So it's really nice to share the Libra ways.
                                         
                                         So Libra is an air sign and it's very much about balance and harmony. So anyone here that's a Libra, you are lovely. You love balance. You love harmony. You probably don't want to cause too many
                                         
                                         issues with other people because then there's no
                                         
                                         balance and no harmony and that will make you very sad. There is a reputation for Libras to
                                         
                                         not make decisions. They're very indecisive, which comes back to the whole thing of balance and
                                         
                                         harmony. So there's kind of this battle for Libras for world peace in every element of their life.
                                         
                                         Sometimes we can suppress our needs for others. So that's very Libra. Okay. So, so how that shows
                                         
                                         up for me with my rising is I would go and do something I didn't want to do because I wouldn't
                                         
    
                                         want to upset the person, you know, I'd think, Oh, I better go. Oh, I'm such a people pleaser. Like I realized that was my Libra rising. So yeah, and the other
                                         
                                         day, I went out and I didn't want to go. And I looked in the mirror. And I literally said,
                                         
                                         you are in shadow Libra rising, because you should just not go. And you're gonna go. Yeah.
                                         
                                         And that you're not stepping into your power so that's what
                                         
                                         can happen sometimes with Libras that alongside with the Pisces as well I imagine yes yeah yeah
                                         
                                         yeah yeah so it's like it's very lovely my chart like it's Pisces Libra and then Scorpio brings the dip you know I love my chart but Libra is probably where I have to
                                         
                                         do some work on um so Libra is a cardinal of the air signs and cardinal the leader
                                         
                                         so there is something about you know sort of some some leadership energy I feel with Libra so as much as they can't make decisions
                                         
    
                                         like you probably can um there's something I find where they can bring people together
                                         
                                         so there's something about Libra that can hold space and bring people together that I really
                                         
                                         like now remember for those listening you will all probably be listening thinking about Libra
                                         
                                         sons but obviously Libra will play out in everyone's
                                         
                                         chart and if you know your chart have a look at where Libra is and see how that shows up in your
                                         
                                         life so I used to struggle with um like disagreements and arguments I felt like I couldn't
                                         
                                         really do them very well and I used to just sort of suppress it and then explode and I find for Libras at time that can happen so there might be arguments there might be disruption
                                         
                                         but it's like been so suppressed they didn't want to bring it up they didn't want to bring it up
                                         
    
                                         and like I say my ex was a Libra and like our arguments were like oh my god it was like a
                                         
                                         volcano because we'd both try and be fine
                                         
                                         oh okay and then all of a sudden it'd be like you fucking idiot you know yeah so you find that
                                         
                                         sometimes okay but Libra's love connection Libra energy loves partnerships I also think it's quite
                                         
                                         a romantic energy and the reason I think it's quite romantic is because Libra is ruled by Venus.
                                         
                                         So there's a very Venusian way, Libra.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's nice.
                                         
                                         Really nice, really nice.
                                         
    
                                         So Libra for me also brings a lot of intellect, communication.
                                         
                                         It's quite social.
                                         
                                         My dad is also Libra-izing.
                                         
                                         And me and my dad are very similar in how we get to know people quite quickly.
                                         
                                         People feel quite safe in our energy.
                                         
                                         Like if I go down the town with my dad, he will know the post lady's name.
                                         
                                         He knows everyone, you know?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         And they're all like, oh, hello, Carrie.
                                         
                                         And his job, all the ladies love him he drives a mini bus he
                                         
                                         takes the oldies to the hospital they love him you know because they meet that libra rising which is
                                         
                                         just like social it's people it's lovely and and and that's something i'm so proud of that i have
                                         
                                         from my dad yeah um but we both have libra rising so it makes sense so for people that are Libras you probably sense
                                         
                                         that people like you I would say and you know it I'm like I want to meet more Libras well maybe
                                         
                                         I'm trying to think let's have a look at your chart what you've got in Libra um you might not
                                         
                                         have much oh I've just had a message from my dad actually as I'm speaking saying morning beautiful
                                         
    
                                         he's probably checking that I'm alive because I've not spoke to him for a dad I'm alive he's so sweet he's so cute I love
                                         
                                         him right let's have a look at your chart Sam see where Libra is sorry everyone while I just quickly
                                         
                                         search my phone for Sam's chart okay so you have your second house Libra um but it is empty but that's okay so when a part of your
                                         
                                         chart's empty we then look at the ruler which is Venus which is in Gemini so yeah like there's not
                                         
                                         as much for you with Libra that would connect you to Libras as much um so you know you think about
                                         
                                         your rise in Sinus Virgo so it's very analytical it's very structured
                                         
                                         it's very processed oh yeah 100% that makes sense we're like Libra's could be the salesman
                                         
                                         Libra's the one that's the gift of the gab you know it's that sort of energy I feel it
                                         
    
                                         they sound like they've got a great energy it sounds like such a nice star sign I think it's
                                         
                                         lovely sign sun sign well done Samantha I wasn't going to
                                         
                                         correct you but yes wanted to but wasn't going to um so Libra is great and Libra I love you um
                                         
                                         and I think for anyone that is a Libra like it's your superpower how much harmony you bring
                                         
                                         um but it is your shadow how much you please for others and
                                         
                                         it's a reminder to really put yourself first and to really step into your power with your
                                         
                                         boundaries are really important and it's quite hard at times and and with the indecisiveness
                                         
                                         that's okay um you know there's also something you can work on to get better at that you know
                                         
    
                                         sometimes libras go oh i can't make a decision i'm a libra no you can work on to get better at that. You know, sometimes Libras go, oh, I can't make a decision.
                                         
                                         I'm a Libra.
                                         
                                         No, you can make a decision.
                                         
                                         You've just got to step into that.
                                         
                                         And yeah, you're a people pleaser.
                                         
                                         Like I say, the other day when I was looking in the mirror, I was really like calling myself
                                         
                                         out on my shit.
                                         
                                         You know, you have to do that because it's the right thing to do.
                                         
    
                                         So that's about Libra.
                                         
                                         But what I want you to do as well is I also wanted to touch on the full moon that's happening today which is Thursday the 17th
                                         
                                         you'll be listening to this after but you will be feeling the energy and this full moon is in Aries
                                         
                                         which is opposite Libra so you Libras will be feeling this a lot um but everyone will because it's a full moon and everyone has
                                         
                                         different charts and different stories but there is a really powerful shift in this moon it's a
                                         
                                         super moon as well I think actually um have you been feeling the last couple of days have you
                                         
                                         felt a bit agitated or irritated because Aries can bring up a lot yeah always you're like yeah yeah yeah I've been slightly agitated today like
                                         
                                         I've been very zen for the last few days but I dreamt that I was a witch in a past life last
                                         
    
                                         night I had all this crazy stuff coming up in my dreams and I woke up panicking and I've been
                                         
                                         slightly agitated this morning I've had to get out I've had to move around I sat in
                                         
                                         one coffee shop then there was a massive thunderstorm there was lightning it was kind of
                                         
                                         made sense for the full moon and I need to go somewhere else it's there's kind of this this
                                         
                                         feeling of agitation in the air okay I struggle I feel like that in a sense I feel like I've got
                                         
                                         loads I want to do yeah but I just can't
                                         
                                         quite yeah yeah that would get everything done yeah yeah so that makes sense to just write a
                                         
                                         list obviously I know you're good at that um and what I would say to everyone right now is
                                         
    
                                         don't act impulsively to this energy because you could act out you could be quite rash you could sort of
                                         
                                         put put things out that you didn't mean because you're in that impulsive energy so when we think
                                         
                                         about the full moon it's the light and the shadow of the moon okay so we see the moon with that light
                                         
                                         at the front the sun reflects on it and the whole other side is in the shade it's the shadow so we get both parts so sometimes those
                                         
                                         more shadow parts of the zodiac appears and which is impulse um but also i think this is an
                                         
                                         opportunity for people to really step into their power i'm feeling very motivated at the moment i
                                         
                                         have done really since the last moon in aries which was the eclipse do you remember that in april
                                         
                                         the girls you were well you were in the blur of postnatal right I was gonna say I think I was we were I remember doing
                                         
    
                                         it at your flat and it was like the eclipse episode on Aries and I was like this is like
                                         
                                         everyone who's spiritual and a healer like this is your chance to make a change and move forward and and there was this real
                                         
                                         passion that I had and I feel like that activated me showing up in business differently which has
                                         
                                         obviously been happening in the last six months so this full moon carries that message which is
                                         
                                         like let's fucking go let's make a difference and and the reason that's there is an asteroid called chiron which is the
                                         
                                         witch wound the wounded healer is with this full moon which i thought was interesting that i then
                                         
                                         had a dream last night about being a witch and yeah me shit i also had some past life experience
                                         
                                         on sat sunday at the cacao where i thought i was a witch in a past life. Well, I was definitely, but anyway, for another day.
                                         
    
                                         So this energy is about finding the wounds.
                                         
                                         So like lean into the discomfort.
                                         
                                         You may feel that right now.
                                         
                                         You may feel frustrated.
                                         
                                         You may feel like you need to push yourself out your comfort zone.
                                         
                                         That might feel really scary. that might feel really hard you might feel like you just want
                                         
                                         to stay where you are and be settled and the spirit and the universe are saying no change is here the
                                         
                                         last few months have been crazy energetically we have been building foundations for this change
                                         
    
                                         so step into your power every single one of you that are
                                         
                                         listening step into your power be bold be courageous and allow yourself to go into the
                                         
                                         discomfort because it will feel easier over time don't be frightened to make that bold move don't
                                         
                                         be frightened to make that big decision because this full moon is saying, I know it's scary, but please get on with it.
                                         
                                         So yeah, that's my speech.
                                         
                                         Yeah, no, I really like that.
                                         
                                         And I feel like a lot of people will be able to resonate with that as well.
                                         
                                         I think even for you right now in your life, you know,
