Unified three heads and one of two of them are monks. What's monk?  It's a Corbin. I'm COVID negative We'll be back together very shortly Just to let you everybody know But that's what we were writing on they were both testing negative day waiting on another negative test tomorrow And then we will be back together and I have to sit in his presence Which is unfortunate, but you know, that is true. It's what we have to do for the business, you know Exactly, and if you're wondering what I'm taking it is I'm taking vitamin D and zinc vitamin every vitamin D and zinc per nurse Cindy Anyways today, we're doing a series review Oh, no, that was terrible Um, but it's a we watched the series modern love Which obviously just came out on Amazon if you haven't watched you go watch there's six episodes They're about 40 minutes each episode directed by six different people with a whole you can't even really call this a series It's more of a it's more of a What do they call the one you have three? Like the anthologies when you have four. Yeah, it's like a it's like a long anthology Yeah, put along about six short films. Yeah, essentially it's six short films some by directors We knew some by directors. We didn't knew we knew some actors didn't know a lot of actors Yeah, and Steph and I actually did a full watch along of every single episode while Rick was down with COVID I'm actually not gonna release those. It was just gonna be patreon exclusives Just just only reasons because I know this is not like a crazy popular series And so I'm just gonna save that for them And so if you'd like to see that I'll put the link in the description below if you'd like to see our full reaction to every Episode of the series, but well how we're gonna do this is we're gonna I'm just gonna talk through because we haven't talked about it yet Each episode and and kind of our thoughts on each one because it's basically six different short film So there's yep, you know different thoughts on each one of them So yeah, once again, so if you haven't watched it, please go watch it and come back It's not really giving non-spoiler. Just cuz it's it's hard to really do that with something like this So if you don't watch it, please go watch it and come back. So we'll start with the first one first episode But actually I'll start overall overall. I thought it was a good series with a couple great episodes I don't know what you thought that's exactly the way I and and Ronnie would because she watched it with me, too Yeah, yeah, yeah say exactly what you just said. Yeah, yeah, it's it's a overall good But I think there's a few great episodes. I of the six there were two that I considered great Was that one in three? Yeah, it's actually one in three. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then I well, we'll get we'll get into the rest of them Yeah, yeah, yeah Let's talk about the first this was one of the great episodes and it was a it was a fantastic Starting off great starting point man for the for the series with and let me get to the IMDb here of the first episode And it is called rocked Ronnie Starring Fatima who we've seen in a lot of stuff including just recently in thar. We saw a dango. She's a fantastic actress I am she was probably the best performance of the whole series to me agreed Yeah, she knocked it out of the frickin part I loved her and when I did too once again spoilers when she showed up at the end I was so so happy just to see her again me too me too I love this character so much and we'll talk about that when we get the episode six But I'll tell you and she was like a lead-off hitter in the baseball game just jacking it out of the park and setting the standard like we immediately had Very very high expectations for every other episode because she and that first episode was so good Yeah, absolutely. It was directed by show Nali Bose Who I believe did margarita with a straw and the sky? I don't know if she directed the skies pink Did she direct it? She did she directed the skies pink as well. Okay, and and margarita with a straw So she's got she's got a proven track record of female Directing and I thought yeah, I thought she did a really good job because What I really really enjoyed when we talked about this in the watch along about this series Especially as it was going along in the first parts of the series is that you thought this was going to be just about a six Different love stories right right different modern love stories, right?  It doesn't work like that exactly.   It was nothing like that. It was just I'm this is me This is me time. I've never get I've never gotten to find myself or find find what I feel I'm worth or stuff. I'm interested and it's always been about me being a wife and It was it was wonderful. I have nothing but praises for this episode Agreed I wrote in my notes. It's such an original idea to portray someone being happy after a breakup and on their own Mm-hmm, then it was it was a love story about being okay with yourself and loving yourself And I I really appreciated the symbolism of the bike and her going up the hill and what that meant to her I love that when she went back to meet him. She was eating different flavored ice cream. Yeah Just everything about this is it such a wonderful story about Empowerment about not needing to have anybody to fulfill you and to be your quote-unquote Other half that you're full in and of yourself and you need to be that to bring something to a relationship anyway So and I wrote at the end here, too, which I didn't realize it would be for every episode Felt more like a short film than an episode of a TV show. Yeah Yeah, and it's gonna be it's gonna be hard to compare this to other series because it's not really a series other series You carry along with characters and all this kind of stuff And this is more of just six different short films that we got to watch Yeah, so much it's gonna be hard to compare it to the other series because the other series had the like if we got To get six episodes of Fatima. Oh, that would have been amazing. Obviously, right carry a carry along with her that way But yeah, I really really enjoyed that episode Everything about it from the message to the execution to the lovely Italian score behind everything making it feel so Happy, yep, like even though there's like stuff bad stuff going on to this poor girl There was this beautiful peppy music behind everything that I just I really really enjoyed Yeah, I thought it was great. It is for me my favorite of the six of the six Okay. Yeah, and so let's go on to episode two episode two. I thought I thought was good I just had some technical and and and overall Yeah, I Like the episode because obviously I like the message and I liked What they did, but it's just there was some writing stuff I didn't enjoy and And other stuff like that that we'll talk about what you think about the episode overall. Yeah, it It for me because the first episode was so good. No, yeah, it's probably big let down. Yeah, it was a it was a let down Yeah, I thought okay I Appreciated the originality of it. Yeah, I Appreciated the fact that it was telling us. Okay, so this is gonna be set alone You know these individual stories that are gonna be like standalone short films I thought there was great writing in the car at the very opening of the episode. Yeah, I Something I don't appreciate and it's a subtitle thing is And I only picked this up because of Andrani But we were speaking in Hindi and they referenced Julia Roberts But that is not who they said no, did they say like Katrina Kaif and like yes sunny. Oh, yes, I don't Yeah, you don't You don't need to say American stars to make it relevant to Americans Just I'm guessing they're saying that because like obviously if they said that if an American is randomly watching this Indian series They'll understand. Oh, it's this actress that I guess now about I guess obviously No, people won't know Katrina Kaif or Sonny Dole here. I guess unfortunately, but yeah, I caught that as well And the other thing was I I thought the acting was fine Yeah, I didn't I didn't fully believe of full investment on their relationship As gay men which was evidenced in the intimacy moments when they kissed each other. It didn't look like they were really kissing each other That was that was one of my big gripes is that I was like it looked fake Yeah, I actually reached out to Hansel because Hansel's been following us on Twitter for for a long long time because he likes Juicy content, right? but I reached out to him and I was like Did they fake kiss because I was so confused it's Hansel Mehta who directed, you know, Rajkumar Rao and Manoj Bajbahi and Al Ghira and all this other stuff and I was like, right? It's like it wasn't fake. It's just the way I shot it. I wanted it to seem awkward He said that's obviously you saw that it looked fake and that's what you saw and that's what it is Yeah, I said well at least I know you didn't say fake kiss because I yeah because I was like There's no way Hansel would say please fake kiss in this. There's just no way But yeah, it it did because I was like I wanted them to kiss and I want to be like this passionate kiss Like on camera and it just it didn't That was that was as a comparison the most recent thing we had seen in terms of a television series was when we had seen made in Heaven and I believed every single moment of his intimate relationships with guys I believed a hundred percent that he was in gay relationships with other men and that both of the actors were fully committed to the moments I didn't sense that with with this and it also just as a story It wasn't as engaging for me as the first story. Yeah. Yeah, for sure and I think the not not not Prateek the but the chef who I believe is not actually an actor. He's actually a chef like a famous chef Oh in India and so maybe that was some of the the kind of Disconnect Obviously, you didn't the other guy is in scam 1993 with that Hansel also directed He's actually and we've seen him in a few things and so he I know he's actually a really really good actor But yeah, I felt the same stuff especially coming off of the high that I had of the first episode that To one that even if it's not I don't think this is the worst episode by any stretch But coming off something like the first one Any flaw you see is going to be heightened just because you're like hi. I enjoyed the first one more And it also there was some predictability at the end like I do you know that by his grandma is congo's mom Yeah, people told told me that I'm yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that Obviously, yeah, that was very cool. That was cool. I enjoyed that and I thought she did well And I thought a lot of the performances were good I don't think there was anything glaring the bad I enjoyed the message overall of obviously families, please obviously coming to accept it wasn't like in a like this story that was like Revolutionary obviously But you know, it's a message that obviously needs to be told because obviously a lot of people deal with Parents not accepting who their kids really are and want to change them thinking this is a phase and all that kind of right And so I really appreciate that Aspect of it and I thought obviously just in terms of the way we shot Hansel is a great director Yeah, and I thought the as much as I found it to be predictable. I'm glad it wasn't Preachy or heavy-handed. Yeah, I'll give that that's credit I'll give to it in the writing is that it wasn't preachy. Yeah, absolutely Yeah, so let's go on to the third episode now. This is actually my favorite episode. I think overall I think even though probably the first one was the most enjoyable episode This one I think overall technical wise acting wise story wise everything about it. I think was my favorite episode What do you think about this one? Yeah, I liked it a lot and I again This was the other great one though, right? That it was the other great one Yeah, because I think at the outset of this I said that I liked the third one the most but I and Looking back upon the two of them if I push comes the shove I'm picking the first one by it by a neck by a yeah by a neck It's definitely more of the first one's more of the rom-com feelie. And so yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this one gets points that differentiated By reason of it being such a different story very unexpected.  It's like It's like if you had like Even though obviously not all these directors are like no names.  I loved like I thought like some of the opening shots of the grandma And like she was in red, right? And because she was in her I don't know what the name of like where she was worshiping her right pang I don't know what what it was. I yeah. Yeah, I don't know what it was I'm sorry, but like just from the opening shot.  It was the cinematographer who's gorgeous I loved every single acting my second second favorite performance Was the grandma in this episode? From the whole series, but I thought the two younger people did well. You gotta love all the cameos Nasser and Shah He can't he can't do bad one. No, he can't he was so adorable in this too. My wife just kept saying he's like he's so cute And then you got the other cameos You got Basically being himself. Yeah, which I did not expect but yeah overall I thought the story of this blending different cultures brandy Religions and in all that kind of stuff and once again It was almost the love part of it like the the couple love was secondary in this one, correct Yeah, that that was that was something that I think was like you said at the outside of the review here that was The thing for all of them was that the love story was actually Secondary compared to the human interest elements of each character's Development as a human being yeah, and the issues that they personally were dealing with for themselves Versus their the relationships were secondary the relationships actually were part of what was going on in the larger picture of their life Which is a brilliant approach that I wonder if that was just what everyone was told from the outset Like when they were having an idea of what these things were going to be I can't imagine The concepts and it may have been self-evident because this comes from stories from the New York Times Yeah, so it just may have been self-evident in that regard and I don't know if you thought this but after this third episode I Thought is there a food theme that's gonna happen in all of these? Yeah Yeah, we picked up on that after that, but then it kind of dropped off. It dropped off But I was like is there a food element to all this which I love and then yeah Obviously with the Indian culture Asian culture in general you got a big The love is there in the food And so yeah, I was I was really enjoying that aspect I wish it kind of carried on into the into the four five and six episode Even though there was a little bit there at the end with with chai But it wasn't anything close to the first three episodes with the the food element But yeah, I really really enjoyed that that food looked amazing by the way what she did I loved the main Actresses performance in this one. Like I said, she was my favorite after Fatima In her name is Where's it God there, I think it's Yan Yan Yan you I apologize only because I'm not looking at the I apologize if I got that wrong But I think she was a grandma But she they aged her quite a bit because I've looked her up on on Instagram now She is quite young Really she does not look like a grandma on her Instagram Yeah, you know how well do you know how what she is is it show? And while you're looking at up one of the things I liked about this episode Compared to the other episodes is I thought that like you mentioned a minute ago the Production design art direction cinematography lighting. Yeah, it was it reminded me of seven kun maf That yeah particular that just there's a dark edge to it that we've talked about that the shawl can get that doesn't have Dirtiness to it. It's dark without being dirty Where is one of things we love about on your rug is that he's dirty and everything's really dirty But there's there's an interesting way that that the shawl can capture darkness and it be be crisp Yeah, right absolutely And I loved his overall score. It was very reminiscent but different as well from the first episode Of this kind of little like a towel it wasn't as peppy peppy But there was still this underlying thing of like it's everything's gonna be okay in me Yeah, an optimistic thread throughout. Yeah, which I and obviously he does he does all the composing for every single one of his films And it was no different in this and he I thought he did an absolute brilliant job And I thought the two young guys that the young guy and and the girl that he was in love with I thought did really really well. I loved their whole story and the what the their tensions with the mom And and all that kind of stuff But like I said, I thought their relationship would have been the focus going into this series But it was more about the mom and it was the development of the mom. Yeah and and and kind of weaving The tensions that have always been there between either Chinese people Indian people or just in general just people of different cultures and all those kind of like prejudices people have and Well, how some people just need to grow and learn From obviously the trauma that they had in the past from evil people in their life that they now hold people in the current world Accountable for and all that and so I thought it was really brilliantly weaved this story, which is why I Do this is why I think this one's probably my The best episode because just everything was so good There was no there was all tens across the board for me for for this episode for every single element of this Episode, yeah, you looked like it a little bit more than I did but that doesn't mean necessarily anything, you know Well, I think it's the two that we both called great. So yeah, I agree. Yeah, absolutely So now on to the fourth episode, which actually it would be my least favorite episode. Oh, really?  Tell me what you thought about it. Oh, I'm interested because I actually like this episode. Oh, yeah I'm looking at this. I like the overall story and the message of it obviously the And I thought it was a different way to do the age gap Story, right? Yeah, somebody falling in love with an older woman or an older man You thought they would get together, but there was a little bit of twist at the end of like We're just gonna have our fantasies, right and all that kind of stuff But I thought it was outside of them not getting together. I thought it was vaguely predictable And also there was no standout performances for me. I didn't I agreed. I thought both of them did fine, right? I There probably could have been maybe some better people or maybe maybe better writing Maybe I felt the same way performance wise with like episode two in terms of the acting I felt like yeah performances are fine There's there's there's nothing here that I'm being riveted by but at least I'm staying engaged because I'm not seeing any mistakes Yeah, um Obviously, I had a particular my interest was peaked because anytime there's a story about age gap I'm particularly interested in the way it's gonna be portrayed the thing for me that like bumped it up for me more than say episode two Was I really loved and I did it was something I loved about the stories my favorite thing about the story I loved the symbolism of the car and the scene she had in the car And how the moment she's having in the car Which is both The car that she was driving That killed her husband It's also the car they had made memories in and she had a bag of his clothing in there that smelled like him And she needed to get into the car And needed to have the moment to say I'm sorry and she wasn't just saying I'm sorry for the accident She was saying I'm sorry that I'm feeling feelings for another man Because she hasn't allowed herself to feel feelings since the husband had died It's okay the The fact that she's in the car saying I'm sorry was more than just saying I'm sorry for the car accident It was her saying I'm sorry. I have feelings for another man because I haven't had any feelings for another man since you've gone And how she wasn't able to let go of the past until she could get rid of the car That that for me was my favorite part of the story is what made it get to me a little bit more than two But again, I don't I'm with you. It's for me It was okay Yeah, I was I was hoping for a little bit more just because I did I did my favorite part of it Was definitely the message like what you're talking about and I love that element. It's just yeah, maybe I just wish I don't know if it was the acting or for it was the writing or something that it was just There was a disconnect in in one of those aspects for me that never allowed me to be full invested or care Like I wanted to Yeah, and I would have also kind of liked to have seen like I think correct me if I'm wrong Did she not Sit at the table and fantasize about him and was she not masturbating Uh, I I didn't know what she was doing. I think it could have been implied that she was for sure I think it I think it was implied and I would have preferred just an outright show us. That's what she's doing like Uh, what was the show? Yeah, exactly straight up like shape of wall. We also just recently saw show where the girl Is doing that in the library We did Yeah, I think it's a scene in the early episodes of deli crime Okay, I I don't remember. She's in the library by herself. But yeah, I would have I would have preferred gone a little farther I would have loved to have seen a woman of her age allowing herself to to be Sexually open and gratifying for herself in that moment And I felt like it kind of it It held back for the audience rather than being more open for the story. Yeah, absolutely So now on to episode five. I love Thani Thani, I believe it's what it's called and this is actually the one that went almost what I expected from the series When it started this was like started up kind of like following a love story Even though there was obviously more to this right than just that And I actually I enjoyed this episode It wasn't uh, it wasn't great like one or three to me But uh, I thought it was a good series and I thought both the actors did it Very very well and kind of played this young millennial kind of dating pool both Driven by your careers um and all that kind of shown different kind of The what the dating app world is and all that kind of stuff and so I I enjoyed this episode. What did you think about this episode? Yeah, this one because I was still at this point I think this one wasn't if this had been episode one. I would have enjoyed it more. Okay Because episode one was so good. Yeah, and by this point there had already been two that kind of fell flat for me Yeah It put me in a position where I just kind of was like, okay. Yeah Yeah, I think if I had seen it if I'd seen it first, I might have enjoyed it a little bit more Yeah, um, I'd say this one. I think when I put up my rankings I will talk about that at the end But yeah, I I thought it was a good episode. Maybe maybe they should have It's it's always curious how, you know, people come up with what episode is going to put first, right in terms of Yeah, yeah, and I thought you like this you want to get people gripped, right? Right. You want to put a really good episode first? Of course, but then if your other episodes aren't to that same great level then But also maybe they were just like We have six episodes. They're gonna be different six different flavors for Everybody so some people might relate to this because I actually saw some people on patreon saying this was their favorite episode because they really related to Yeah, this life that they were living Uh, I think that's actually that's actually one of the things that you can say about the series that is a bonus to it Yeah, which many people would say wait a minute. How can that be a bonus? And that's this fact I don't think anyone's gonna watch the show and love all six episodes and I don't think that was the point Yeah, absolutely the point is to find an episode or two that you relate to and you'll love those episodes And therefore you'll recommend the series. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And it's hard to obviously Since you have six different directors writers and and actor different actors and you can't build with each episode You're gonna it's you're gonna kind of fall into that But I thought it's like going to it's like going to a restaurant where they give you six different Things to eat. No, you know as your full your full course meal You may not love all six of them, but you're gonna enjoy your meal Yeah, I thought the the girl in this actually did quite well. I enjoyed her performance. I thought Um, and it was directed by hiru Seagal but spelled with an eight. Yeah I think it's seagull seagull. Okay Um, and um, I I I enjoyed the because I think You kind of you were seeing where it was gonna go and she was gonna find a person and all that Towards the as it went on who wasn't like the rest of them and and was And they kind of brought out the best in each other had great long scenes Walking down the boulevard or whatever the sidewalk or something I know which I I think a lot of times it was a long shot And I think they kind of did the whole scene Like that and so I I enjoyed that that that part of it It wasn't as good as as one or three By any by any stretch But overall I I enjoyed the ride of this episode and I thought the ending was really cute It was like a a cute little kind of rom-com ending To to to the episode Um, so yeah Yeah, and I'll give after we give do the sixth episode We can give our rankings in terms of which ones. Yeah, we we place at the top versus at the bottom Yeah, absolutely. And so now on to episode six the final episode of the series cutting chai uh with uh directed by nap Nepu N-u-p-u-r And the last name a sassana. I apologize But this was actually the most and it was starring um Uh the the the actor that we know of his name is arshad Warrsh Warrsi Warrsi, I think right Um, and then her I I didn't know of her but her name is Shit I can't I can't I apologize. I can't pronounce that name. It's really really long. Uh, I buy and I don't want to butcher it but um This was actually such a different episode because it actually did Stuff in the episode that none of the other ones did in terms of Visual stuff that it did that to represent what's going on in her mind People talking that aren't actually really talking It's kind of like a dream and so it's very stylized almost kind of similar to that sachet rye on the the hero I think the that film. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he did so many different things with visual representation That I actually really really enjoyed this episode. It it wasn't one or three, but uh This is probably three for me, uh in terms of episode and I thought the way they did this Of this girl who you know at the beginning you're like, oh there you can see where this is going This is not going to be a good relationship. Obviously. They've fallen in love or they're just bored or whatever and in her whole kind of Journey and seeing how her life could have been different, but she keeps going back to why she fell in love with this man um, and And we'll get into the other stuff, but what do you think about the episode? I'm I agree with you. This is my third favorite episode. Yeah, and I uh, I said out loud to indrani while it was Happening and it started to make those changes that were quirky and different like the people talking to her in the subway station and I went ah Cool creativity. This is interesting. Yeah, I like this. Yeah. Yeah, and I I I like the performances I found her to be she's absolutely captivating on camera.  She's beautiful actress to be filming Yeah, beautiful beautiful woman And I believe the characters. Yeah, I I um, I was very interested in what was going on and I love Tying everybody back in yeah, yeah, that's the others from the other stories the ending was absolutely great Um, I loved I loved how they won't but and I loved obviously Fatima saying I'm coming I'm coming I loved it. It was like that should be it was a really nice button up. Yeah, um, I've really enjoyed How they did their relationship in terms of Showing that even though he has these flaws of like, you know Not um of like being laid all the time and and he thinks he's helping by saying, you know, you should you you probably would have done it By now you're like, you know, you have why can't you just write over there, right? In all this kind of stuff, but he's not like full-on actively helping to support her goals, right? Yeah, yeah but Then they showed that element of like when he's there He's there He's like he makes up for it in his charm and the fact that he's he's 100 invested when he's there Um, obviously he might be 30 minutes an hour late To do it But he at least makes the effort while he's there to make up for His shortcomings and then I'm very glad they actually went back before they um did the whole thing To actually show him actively trying to be better and change because I was worried that you know They made up and I was like, okay, but are you gonna Are you gonna change? Are you gonna are you gonna, you know Try to actively help her and support her and what she's trying to do and you know Be of the partnership that this is supposed to be and I'm very glad that they brought that back because that that would have upset me Yeah, and I liked I liked the fact that this Like I think they tried with all of the episodes Was and this one in particular I like because it shows you the realities of what Really needs to happen for a relationship to last for many many years where you're you're you're you're just brutally honest With what's going on and we're at one point the things that used to think Oh, that's a funny little quirk suddenly becomes something that deeply annoys you You need to be honest about that and share that and then be able to make changes and adapt and grow and evolve Together in your relationship with one another and I agree with you I think it was critical To the story for him to show some semblance of self-evaluation Unto change for her and then I also love the fact That she on the one hand was absolutely right by feeling offended He was saying if you really wanted to write this thing You would have done it by now when he doesn't do anything to help her But at the other on the other hand her conscience is saying, you know There's a truth in what he's saying if you did want this you'd have done it by now no excuses And I I love that I love that. Yeah, so it was a really now I deeply enjoyed the The when she was going over If what I if I would have gone on and been with my first love Yeah, uh, and what would my life have been like? Uh in in that scenario, uh and But then she kept going back to why she originally Fell in love with this man. Um, yeah, I think it's beautiful There's an aspect of this. I'm trying to verbalize without spoiling anything um, I'll I'll just say Be tiny it would be like taking a very teeny just like tip of the spoon taste and going Of some of the better parts of what makes everything everywhere all at once such a perfect In terms of There's the hilarity, but then there's also the deep deep life lessons that you learn from this film And that's that's I'm saying that without spoiling anything, but that's one of the things that I like that The life lesson that you can take away from some things and Be able to look back on certain parts of your life and recognize Is I'm probably in the best situation that I would have been in and that hindsight isn't always 2020 and you might not want to fix Things you might have wanted to do them differently, but when you look at the way things are now you are accepting the fact that well Maybe they needed to happen that way, you know, yeah Yeah, yeah overall was my third favorite overall. Like I said, I think it was a good It was a good series if you can call it a series, right? Um with I think two Great episodes and this one. I think being one of the Close to great episodes Yeah, my I put them in the order of what from like like my favorites It's from top to bottom one three six four five two Okay, uh, yeah, mine would be you're gonna be a you're gonna be a little different. Yeah, mine's gonna be a little different It's gonna be three one six Uh three one six, um fives You'll put five ahead of four I enjoyed the story of Two Okay Even more than five and four. Yeah, so I'm gonna put I think okay six two Five and then four will be last for me. Uh, that's the one that I I connected with the least in this in this series, but I think they were all good Uh, and luckily there was I don't think there's a glaringly bad one There's just the some that are sandwiched in between two really great ones and those are that Highlights if yours is not as great and so that's unfortunate for some episodes, but it is what it is Yeah, uh, but yeah, let us know what you thought about this series and what should be the next series We should watch let us know your ranking of each episodes Uh in what ranking you put them in down in the comments below and on to the next series

Okay, Virgo, so you've got a situation here. Someone who likes you very much is in a lot of heartbreak and pain. You might be in separation from this person and this person wants to date you.   I mean, I don't know, that's just so bizarre. Okay, so you got someone here, Virgo, who like is pretty much very into you, wants to be with you, wants to date, have romance, but feels stabbed in the back or some, I guess you guys must be in separation or something and they're running. They have this, they have a fear.  They have a, they like you a real lot, but they have a fear that you're, that's it.  Gosh, this is crazy. So they run. So, I mean, it's like, I feel like perhaps you, this person just doesn't want to get real close, like they, they're fearful of getting super, super close. Fear of you finding out what's behind the mask or anything along those lines, you know, like, but I feel like this person wants to be with you. They just have this great fear of being stabbed in the back. So they keep a distance. They might be a bit avoidant. So they keep their distance. Okay, they, they, they keep things surface.  Yeah, I'll date you. Yeah, this is great. Yeah, I really, I love flirting with you. It's fun.  We can do things, but if you get too close, I'm gonna run. Okay.  Save myself from being hurt or being lied to. Okay. So you, yeah, it looks like this person is very avoidant. Okay. So you've got ten of cups. Okay, craziness. Ten of cups. Four of swords reversed. Three of pendent, three of cups reversed. The king of wands and the page of cups. Okay, so as far as court cards were go, it looks like this is a fire sign or they have fire in their chart somewhere. Okay, this person has all the confidence in the world to text, to send sweet nothings, keep things, you know, the page is very simple. It's a very simple. You know, it's, it's, it's intuitive messages. It's cure, curiosity. A dreamer. This is someone that's very flirtatious, very, it's very easy to be that way. And they might flirtate. They might flirtate. Let me get up words. They flirtate with you on text messages or maybe phone calls, but like it's it's something that I feel like this person has a lot of confidence in themselves to send texts. Okay, that's just such a sweet nothings and say all of the sweet nice things to you through text instead of like to your face. Okay, but this person is restless and they're reckless and with the four of swords in the reverse and the three of cups in the reverse, this person has this reckless need to keep themselves in a safe space. If they don't get too close, they can keep dating other people and they keep all of their relationships very surface. They're not serious about anyone. They get serious with no one. However, I feel like for some of you, I can't pick up my card, for some of you, I feel like this person really did have good intention to go the distance with you personally. They, I don't see that they had that intention with anybody else here or that they had that with anybody else. They run when things get, it looks like it's heading in this direction, the 10 of cups, which is like divine love and harmony and a blissful, beautiful relationship.  It's almost if they try to it does, it's something with their ego because they have a fear of getting close because it's not a, it's not a fear of getting close. It's a fear of getting close and then being abandoned or stabbed in the back. It's like they say, you know, what you, what you speak out into the universe is what you get back. So I feel like so as soon as you guys get close or things start going in that nice direction, which I, which is what I do feel like this person wanted, then they run and then they're like, no, no, I can't, I can't be committed. I have to stay single and I have to keep up this restless, reckless energy and date other people or communicate or flirt and that kind of thing. Okay. It's, it stresses them out. Why do they have this, like why? Why does this person, like what are they afraid of? What are they afraid of? So they keep everything on just a very surface level. What are they afraid of? Oh Unity Partnership marriage Um gosh, just Hold on. I'm getting some messages. I mean Okay, they just said, um one thing they're afraid of is that you'll reject them and say, no, I just want to be friends Which is what they're making happen. Anyway It's bizarre. So what else is tell me more about this two of cups They're they're afraid of losing autonomy This might be someone who is a bachelorette or a bachelor. They've been single most of their lives Or a long time they they don't know what to do How to share maybe they're an only child or The baby of the family spoiled Yeah, so they they breadcrumb they give these breadcrumbs They do this to you and they do this to others. Okay This is a this person is An island unto themselves Completely an island unto themselves. However Virgo With you it was a little bit different and I have to I have to give that message Okay with you Something different here's king of cups too.  So we do have two court cards now.  So it went either way either way though This person got caught up in their emotions about you and that right there Scared them they they actually Felt real feelings for you and they didn't they knew That if they were to oblige those feelings that it could go You know from the page of cups to the two of cups and all the way down to the ten And a happily ever after And they ran Let's see. Tell me more about why this person ran Why did this person run? Oh gosh Ten of swords again fear of being stabbed in the back fear of being betrayed fear of losing you So they had to purposely get rid of you so that they didn't lose you either somebody else or So that you wouldn't reject them. It's a control thing. It's a control thing control issue Okay They put their dukes up They put themselves like in a protective shield and say i'm going to get rid of you before you get rid of me Okay, i'm not going to be defeated. I'm going to keep myself avoidant And keep everything surface that way it can't get hurt You know, but the thing is right, um This person might have gone deep in the past with someone and they got really hurt to be betrayed by that and they haven't healed from that they have not Not really they they may have Just kind of kept things surface with that former person Um try to just be on even keel ground with that former person Maybe just be friendly or friends But the the deep internal it's obvious here that they have not healed because Love should never be scary. I mean, yeah, sure. It's a risk, but Love conquers fear that that the only thing that conquers fear is love and joy and happiness and peace So this person is fear-based So there's this, you know, we operate out of one or two two ways We either operate out of fear or we operate out of love. This person operates out of fear Okay, yeah So the queen of cups is here. Okay, so this somebody That they had deep feelings for before Could be a gemini cancer Uh escorpio a Pisces could be a leo aries such Um And that other person I feel like the other person, uh, let me see Because they're coming across this. Yeah, the other person left The other person left them Transitioned left them behind moved on with their lives Something happened. I don't know what I guess it could ask What happened? Why did a past person leave this person? You're a person or if you don't know them soon to know person They wanted progress They wanted something to move forward or they left home Or they had um different plans Other ideas what they wanted for their life and I guess this Their person The yours here that we're talking about wasn't able to um meet them and they had a decision to make Which path they wanted to to go down and it looks like they Left them behind and and changed Their life and moved on And uh, yeah, I think your your person felt abandoned and left out in the cold here Okay I say your person now if this isn't your person This could be somebody that you will meet And this energy starts playing out, you know, because sometimes they can be predictive readings and we're looking into august now so Yeah, I feel like this person, um They have that poverty mindset and codependency issues definitely, I mean this They were abandoned by someone. I feel like they had a true, you know Feeling for or or maybe your your person left them But I don't really feel like that's for some it could be the the case, but I don't really feel like That is the case because I don't I just see them in runner mode If you're in if you so if you know this person you're in separation with this person right now, um They're running And they're flirting and they're doing whatever they're they're keeping everything at Arms length they're keeping everyone at arms length They're they're being present and available to others, but they are they're not crossing a line Um, only not because of you Virgo and I I hate to not to unblow your ego Not so much because of you but because they are very avoidant And that's the the very reason why something didn't go forward with you. Okay And that's this is the the meat of the reading here. I feel like this person Really did develop deep feelings for you and and Was Seeing the path forward to progress with you. Okay No, maybe you left them You might have left them Maybe you betrayed them or you abandoned them Because they were a runner and they were avoidant and they weren't really going In the direction you wanted to go. I feel like this cycle keeps repeating this This person is the common denominator in why their relationships are failing. It's not you Virgo, you're just a Helpless victim of this person because of their avoidance And their inability to to get secure within themselves emotionally So you might you might have left this person and they felt stabbed in the back. They still though Want to date you they still want something with you, but it's like Their cycle keeps repeating it just keeps repeating and I feel like You spent a long time with this person here in this three of cups reversed as well Um where they were very restless to connect with you a lot But not go any further than that But something did happen here With this person that you were able to get into their feels And you were someone that they considered that they could see A future with now tell Virgo This feels like the back story. Let's see what the present energy is right now with this person Okay Right now this person is with the seven of pentacles. So they're doing a lot of thinking Um They're asking questions They're looking at themselves. They're looking at Sorry guys, I got new pointy nails and I can't pick anything up. I'll be changing that this week So they're taking a look at All that accumulated in the relationship with you. They're looking at that right now. Okay This is the seven of pentacles the card after this is the eight of pentacles which represents putting in the effort And so they're in this place now. Can I do this? They're questioning themselves If if Virgo will take me back. I don't even know if they're considering that at this time I I if you whether you will or not I feel like this person is kind of just looking at the relationship looking at the time gone by looking at everything that was invested And asking themselves if they have the ability to go long term With you. Okay, that's their current energy Yeah, oh, yeah They're definitely you're on their mind for sure Virgo And what are they thinking about?  See how the pinnacle is not attached to them They're looking at how much you contributed to This relationship here They're looking at it. They're looking back on it for sure You're worth your value.  You got it right here. What is that eighth pinnacle? They know that what you want is for them to put in the effort make the effort. They know that And that's why they're and you might have handed it to them and they're sitting there with it like I don't know. Can I do this? Let me see Okay, do I have the courage and the strength to persevere For some of you, this is the same sex relationship They're thinking they're thinking back on that past person As well they're comparing Their past person was very strong and courageous and persuasive Past person had a subtle power.  You keep things real. You're grounded You're not tracing uh blazing trails of fire You're very grounded and considerate and thoughtful But some of you might be on the cusp of Leo and Virgo here as well Some of you embody both of those signs Or you could have Leo in your chart somewhere Leo rising Moon Venus somewhere in your chart But you embody both And they're thinking about you that you have the Courage and the power that you're a strong person And that you are very focused and determined But you're also quite nurturing and smart and hard working And I really feel like this person is considering all of the attributes That you bring And they're having a breakthrough I feel like this person is has emotional avoidance I don't feel like they are avoidant in the sense of You know if they had to work a partnership with someone they can do that You know if it's tied to money or finances or career, they're good with that But when it comes to the emotions See how this person isn't really even considering how you feel about them and how they feel about you This person's more in a very practical standpoint the emotion The emotional connection they run they run from Because that's too overwhelming for them And that's why they ran because you touch their heart their feelings You made them feel and this person is seems to be very heady But you um You made them feel some type of wave or go and And that got that scary for them. Okay. So the present energy right now like I feel like They're trying to overcome some obstacles here. Um Look at that ace of swords and the ace of wands See how they don't even have any cups here as far as Thinking about you doesn't mean they didn't care for you. Absolutely not But I feel like they're looking at like how can this work? How is our communication? Um What potential growth can we have in this relationship? Virgo, I feel like to be with this person you can't affect their feelings You got to keep it strictly business Because I don't feel like this person really operates They're loyal. They I feel like they're to you Even though it doesn't seem like it because they ran um And they got scared, but um, I feel like Their loyalty to you in their heart Doesn't compare to anyone Like you're the you're the it girl. You're the it guy for them. Okay You turn them on they know that for sure. Look They ace of pentacles. So that's what I'm saying I mean Everything that they're thinking about right now currently about you is that Everything can work The mental connection the physical connection And any kind of finances financial connection everything there can work But they have such a great fear of their heart being broken Oh, well, it's crazy because I don't feel like the heart ever healed So I feel like they walk around with a broken heart.  It's already been broken so They're also considering that as well. Okay, so I feel like Right and especially in august vergo and happy birthday to the early august birthdays. This person seriously Has a thing for you here And they definitely are considering a brand new Well coming back your way and maybe trying again Let me see what your advice is here because there is going to be communication in august from this person For some of you i'm hearing august 31st And they've been thinking about you since july 3rd.  I forget. Oh your advice Keep it simple and your communication with them if you wish to talk to them um Talk about only the practical things. Don't talk about feelings. Don't ask them how they feel. Don't ask them if they love you Don't ask them Don't talk about the emotions at all. Um, just keep it strictly This is your advice not the advice I would give you although I probably would give you this advice Ask them how work's going. Ask them if you know how if they got that bill paid or how they're doing with their money Speak strictly on that. That's the language that this person understands and for you ladies that listen Don't give me a hard time because Listen, I raise three sons. Believe me when I tell you. Okay, and I know some of you will understand this No matter how much love and emotion and acceptance and unconditional love. I gave my kids my boys They still would never and could never and still don't come as close to a female As far as emotions go and they had everything that they needed at least from my standpoint But when I sit and I talk with my sons about what games they're into right now how works go in You know Very normal not normal.  They're like, I don't know. I'm playing my game Can I talk to you later? That that's I've that's that's the male side not all males, but majority It's so hard. I think to try to ask a guy how he's feeling Because a lot of times the guys are just not even sure like they're like, wait, I'm not even in my feels right now I'm gonna have to get back to you because I don't know because right now I'm watching football You know, it's it's a little bit like that and that's maybe that's more of the masculine but two of my sons are are not alpha males and They don't really Get into it too much, you know, so I feel like I don't know why I'm telling you this but maybe just because If you if you start talking about, you know The whole love thing getting into the deep emotion with this person I feel they're avoidant in that area and that you have to kind of go real Tread lightly in that area with this person. Okay. Um, so yeah Talking about financial opportunities their ambitions things that they're creating and developing their ideas for projects or plans and things like that And listen, that doesn't mean to be that way the entire time in the relationship I just feel like if if they're gonna come back and it looks like they want to because everything about you they love Your advice is to um Have those conversations about your accomplishments theirs Come in with this positive energy. Everything's good. Talk about the successes and celebration and uh, you know attainments travel All of that all of that stuff Okay, this this is what I'm getting for your advice now I want to see if you do that if you make that decision And you're just like, okay, this person's real super sensitive and they're blocked in their emotion They have their heart heartache and heartbreak and you know, I'm just going to keep it real cool and try to understand that and Not really go deep with the emotions And catch, you know try to talk about if they love you and all those feelings because I already told you that They do they have that deep that deep deep very very deep emotions and feelings for you But like, you know, the king cups does not wear the heart on the sleeve.  I don't care whose dog When you hold on to that ball and I let that dog have that ball He stands are very patiently or even comes and tries to get it Right when you throw it he chases it But when he comes back if you try to take that ball from him. Oh, it's game on So the point I'm trying to make here is Hold the ball Virgo Don't chase after the ball Hold the ball Okay Let this person come to you with how they feel and in you and holding this ball And this requires a lot of tact a lot of patience a lot of perseverance to create a safe space For a long term secure relationship with this person who is You know heavily scarred From something someone who left them. It could have been a mother. It could have been you know, um Of a relationship someone who loved them.  Okay, so They they take that risk here The outcome for both of you To go into the four of wands To go into like definitely reunion having a reunion um coming home for some of you Building a home together moving in together Um starting this built rebuilding or building this foundation For that but something more practical. I feel like I know a lot of Virgos are not all up in their emotions. I know in fact, I think a lot of Virgos are pretty much reserved themselves But a Virgo can Offer them their emotions up to another person if they feel like The other person is more garden guarded than they are. Okay Because normally Virgos don't walk around with their hearts on their sleeves either Okay, so it looks like a happy There you go. That's what it looks like It there's you have four aces in this reading. Okay You you and they have a potential new Healing energy happening here in this relationship and it's beautiful. So, you know, you gotta Be you got to be patient. I feel like that's the message here. Um as far as If you're constantly asking this person how they feel if they love you if you're constantly needing that reassurance Um, you know love can be shown in a lot of different ways Not just by words, although it is good to hear it Sometimes everybody does need to hear it and that goes both ways I feel like there's a potential new start and you guys remember I keep saying we're in this venus retrograde You are heavily on this person's mind during this retrograde definitely like They're rethinking a lot of things Um, I don't know that they're having oops. I don't know that they're having a wake-up call per se But they are definitely thinking about you.  All right, let's see what the romance angels, okay So there's a new love start happening here Definitely new love start happening What else for Virgo? Okay, there you go Virgo.  You know, if you don't want this person back Virgo The best thing I could say is pray for healing for them so that they will be happy elsewhere that they have the healing that they need That frees you from things as well If you do want them back, um, I feel like the advice that i'm giving you you don't have to be like, um Stone cold steve austin here. You don't have to be that way Um, you know, you can you can tell them that you miss them or that you love them You can say those things i'm sure I know they would love to hear it, but I feel like Don't dive into well. What about our relationship? Where have you been?  Just chill Virgo. Just chill You know, um, it's kind of it's a it's a restart It's kind of a start over here At least the week of august 31st. That's when i'm picking up And if you want this thing to work, you know Nobody's telling you got to open your legs Virgo, but if you want something here to work I just get a sense of like Just try to keep it cool For you For this part with this person, you know the whole nine yards The whole nine yards, all right My biological clock is ticking and I want to know when are we going to get married? All my friends are getting married My niece got married before me My clock is ticking and I want to have a baby Does anybody know what that's from? I paraphrase because I don't remember exactly What she said her exact words. All right, let's get some love messages here and see what else is going on For you guys Okay messages of love All right, all right There's the children card For some of you children are important to this relationship, you know, not every person Especially for the ladies not every guy is coming in on a like a prince charming a knight in white shining armor You know, it doesn't that's fairytale. Let's get out of the fairytale Lean on your inner support circle during this time balance one person is giving too much in this relationship With this person making their return, I don't Don't give so much, you know what I mean? Don't don't be like You might be excited to hear from them if you're the person listening that wants this relationship to progress and heal And I'm not saying don't be excited, but I feel like Give this create space for this person to come to you You know instead of holding up the relationship yourself and trying to make something work here You doing the work for them and doing the work for yourself. No, let them help build this house You have to allow that to happen, right? And that's what that support is right The the foundation needs to be poured the support beams need to be Designed the structure and you can't do it all by yourself Okay, I knew that was going to come out. I knew it A lot of the venus retrograde is all about the twin flame. Okay um Now just remember this might not be happening right now For some of you it could be for others. This is an energy that begins occurring Um throughout the retrograde and into august. Okay, so what does that mean?  Okay, and then there's no more reading after that. Then it's just you Moving forward with your life Okay, so I feel like This is mostly for people here vergos who are wanting to give this another chance Okay, um I want to see what this person's hidden hidden truth messages are for you This is person's hidden truth message if they could tell you the timing just wasn't right They might have thought that and maybe but they'll wait for a sign from you I do feel like this person is kind of waiting Some kind of for a door to open somewhere so that they can come in and talk to you I have a strong feeling about that. There you go You are the best thing in my life So Virgo, I don't feel like anybody came closer than you And anyone that might have come close to them similar to you I feel like was a very very long time ago and and that person Whoever they were close to um Abandoned them or you know, like I said Turned on their heel and went in a different direction Okay, they do wonder if you're happy without them. They do think about you They wonder how you're doing And what's going on with you? Wow, I mean seriously You are heavily on this person's mind during this retrograde I replay our conversations over and over they think about all that was invested the times together Remember I said that everything involved in the time You were together and the conversations especially because I feel like as I said from the beginning this person was And I know it's specific and it might not be for all of you, but this person was big on the texting Like the majority of the conversations might have happened through text or that's how they preferred it Because they were avoidant so kind of hiding Now for some of you there could have been one-on-one conversations And those are the conversations that they replay over and over in their head the things that they think about what you said They analyze them So this person is very mindful like heady, you know, they're very analytical And trying to figure out what you meant by that or what you didn't or why you didn't say this and why you reacted like that and you know kind of like Going through or they're rereading texts and like what does that even mean? You know, but they did Hide who they really are from you. Absolutely. And who was that someone who was afraid to get close Just being near you is intoxicating burgo This person. Oh my gosh You really did number on this person's heart.  They don't they have no they have no sense about them They can't make heads of tails what they're talking about or what they're saying or where they're going They get so nervous that they run And I don't know that they do that with everybody like like their friends and family I think they're pretty open and everything's cool, but that's friends and family This is the the feeling made them so nervous and it overcame them They're overcome with intoxication You're sent.  Who is this? What have you done? Well, you know burgos burgos have that way Yes, sorry Bob burgos have that way they have that effect on people Okay Let's take a look and see we're gonna get right into the Chinese signs because I'm just curious what this person's Chinese sign is And yours both of you All right, let's get right to it and do it We've got the goat and the ox The rat You got a snake rooster There's the ox again Rat again.
