"I want Justice for the Falling Leaf on the Wind."

This week we received an AMAZING letter from one of our good listeners. Thus we are so thrilled to share our very first episode dedicated to an audience question!

This letter complicates a much needed conversation about "Failure" and "Success." So often, we get so down on ourselves when things don't work out according to plan, and we feel like a "failure."

Then, a lot of spiritual council will tell us that failure is actually a blessing and a protection - it's re-directing us toward something better than we could have imagined. It's an invitation to let go of what doesn't serve you and invest in something better and more aligned.

This is all true. And. But...

This letter asks us to grapple with the liminal "in-between" space where things haven't yet ended, and they haven't yet begun. In other words, we are no longer tethered to our old thing, and we have not yet landed in the new thing. Here, how we experience our failures and successes becomes much more complicated.

Ultimately, today's episode shares a beautiful and much needed conversation on how we experience and the "END-OF-LIFE" phase and how we must protect and support the space of "transition" we so often find ourselves in. For some of us, this is our constant.

Tune into the episode for the full conversation.

BONUS! POP-UP CONTEST, PLAY TO WIN A FREE VIRGO SEASON READING!

That's right - welcome to our very first pop-up contest!

In this episode I share a quote from a popular film. I don't call attention to it, I just drop it in. Here's the contest:

Write in and tell me

A) what film the quote is from
B) the name of the character who says it

The first 3 people who write in with the correct answer will get a free short and sweet "clairvoyant tarot" reading for Virgo Season with yours truly. Shaunga will pull 1-2 cards for you, and share a personal message for you to move through Virgo Season with. Your message will be delivered either by email, voice note or private video.

HOWEVER!! THE PRIZE IS ONLY OPEN FOR INNER CIRCLE FOLKS, IE TO PLAY TO WIN, YOU NEED A VIP BACKSTAGE PASS.

I'll give you a few hints:

Hint One: The answer is VERY, VERY obvious for folks who know the film I'm speaking of. ie it's a very popular quote from this film.

Hint Two: The film in question is from the same "Universe" of stories and characters that I have spoken about on this podcast, even though I HAVE NOT yet spoken about this specific film on the podcast at all. So, one could technically google that "Universe" and google popular quotes and easily find the answer, even if you've never seen the film.

To send your answer, email: mercury[at]shaungatagore[dot]com

Remember - the prize is only available for my VIP BACKSTAGE PASS members. If you're not a member and you want this prize, get your pass today and send in your answer right away. The first 3 VIP members to get the right answer will receive a free Virgo Season reading!
