I have this kind of energy boost just from seeing all of you guys and also High-fiving Al Gore backstage. That's kind of cool So I'm delighted to talk about to talk with you guys about how we together can build $100 billion companies together And I'll Let you guys talk shortly about what you do and how we can make this happen So if you don't mind like a quick intro Great super quick. I'm Brent Hovman. I founded a few tech companies and right now currently doing three things founders forum at events and First-minute capital which is we aim to be Europe's most helpful seed fund We're backed by 29 unicorn founders and some other amazing people ie Atomica And Tencent and others and we also have founders factory which is where we help large corporates work with startups And we will help launch 200 startups over five years Great Niklas Sennström partnered Atomico a venture capital firm in Europe. We are started 11 years ago after Skype and What we're trying to do is to find the most ambitious entrepreneurs in Europe and Supporting them as they're scaled their businesses to become global companies So we kind of typically come in after Brent kind of find these companies and and other seed investors are finding companies also One thing that I'm very very passionate about is very much what Al Gore was talking about is that it's so important that entrepreneurs are taking this challenge and And building businesses that that can address some of these really really big sustainability problems that we're facing and I truly believe that the biggest companies of tomorrow if you talk about ten billion dollar companies hundred billion dollar companies Actually companies of which are addressing some of these big sustainability problems are going to be those big companies of tomorrow So I'm super excited about combining investments and and fighting climate change at the same time Great. So I'm David Tevenham. I work for subbank. I'm a partner at the vision fund I've been working for some bank for three years investing company globally Prior to that I work for ten years at Google What we're really excited at subbank and for the vision fund is that we believe we are starting a new phase impacted by kind of a new wave of technology and We are very excited to invest in companies that are going to be the leading company of tomorrow Leveraging like a new Text like cool. Thank you So I wanted to hear your view. What do you think have changed in Europe the last year or since you guys started your own businesses So what's changed clearly? I guess since the beginning when I guess Nicholas and I was starting our company's almost 20 years ago or When you've asked for the last year. I I think it is just the Excite the serial entrepreneurs just continues to gain momentum There's a snowball of serial entrepreneurs or whatever. I mean if we could come up with a collective now and that would probably be better So but but we are seeing those entrepreneurs wanting to give back to the system wanting to help younger founders more and that means we're seeing more seed funds more angel investments and More energy and I think the other thing is we haven't global arms race Across governments. We're seeing it here today Finland doing a great job Attracting the entrepreneurial ecosystem But we are seeing this arms race from London to Paris and right across Europe and that can only help Surface the best entrepreneurs and lastly I'd say Entrepreneurialism is now a career choice It wasn't before now. It's something when you are the best of the best and you leave your university You consider becoming an entrepreneur in my day. You just went to banking and consulting. Yeah So I think you know you put a perspective of last year and then maybe on a 10-year horizon I think on a 10-year horizon when we started Tomiko and when I was building Skype. It's night and day You know back then it was a big question or could you build great companies in Europe and today? There's absolutely no doubt about it. The European take ecosystem is proven. It works I know that you're having a report there and and It's just showing that over the last year. There are more companies being founded more more money coming into the ecosystem More valuations being driven But also if I just look back over the last year since we were at slush last year I would say a few things have changed to the very positive one is that there's more capital We talked about last year that was still a gap a funding gap in Europe when it came to a little bit later stage funding So that's one reason we raised a bigger fund of seven hundred sixty seven million dollar fund So we could support the most ambitious companies as they scale globally But it's also which is important because we've been underfunded compared to to us and Asia But also rivals of all vision found and and other large investors like Tencent and others who are very actively Investing in Europe is also tremendously important because this enables these very ambitious founders To scale bigger, but we've also seen a higher ambition level of entrepreneurs Today entrepreneurs. There's no doubt about there's no question Like that they don't you know for them to build a global success story Ten years ago or a few years ago. Well, you know, maybe you build a Nordic business a German business now It's all about building global businesses So so those are going to think the big different changes and also we see a continuous drive towards deep tech a Lot of the companies we've seen over the last years are AI IOT And other kind of deep technologies, which is tremendous Yeah, so I totally agree with what was said. I think we're seeing more ambition more talent and more capital in Europe I think this is like 19 billion which is going to go into tech companies in Europe in 2017 That's 30% more than last year. So that's a huge amount We have heard of like 50 round or 50 million dollars or more For European tech to company. So this is really encouraging For us we are seeing more and more European entrepreneur coming to us with big dreams big visions like Niklas said working on like deep tech complex technology problems Trying to solve big problems and we find that really really exciting. I think Investors more and more are open and are able to kind of fund those those businesses and for sure we're in business To help those entrepreneurs to scale I mean a recent example of what we've done in Europe for example is we've improbable in London Here is an amazing company. They are building like a simulation engine They're started with with gaming, but we believe that technology can it can be applied to sales cities economies and much more And we we help them to raise 500 million dollars to help them to scale globally and to build a big business I think It is interesting as well now what's changed as well as that this next wave of companies a lot of them are gonna have to work with the System so playing either regulatory arbitrage or playing in the industries that haven't yet been disrupted So gov tech fintech fintech Medtech all of the ed tech these areas where you sort of you can't just ask forgiveness later as Airbnb and uber did You have to play within the system, and then there's also the opportunity for European governments Which they're doing more and more to play the regulatory arbitrage game To make it easier to have sandboxes for entrepreneurs to start and scale Yes, that our curiosity you mentioned this sort of momentum going on in Europe with more companies and more money invested Do you also see that your LPs are finding this trend? Are they more keen on investing in European VC firms? Because yeah, yeah It's true You know what one thing we said, you know last year was that again like this this funding gap that we have You know whether it's here in Finland or in Sweden or in the UK or Germany Netherlands We have great Institutional investors in Europe particularly like the public pension funds which been very In the past they've been investing in public public stock But that's your secondary market that that's not creating Growth So what we've seen now over the last year is that they also understand now that technology in Europe can create economical growth for their pensioners, so we see more and more of those LPs Institute big institutions Investing in technology the other thing we also see which is where encouraging what Brent talked about working within the system Is that we see that European corporates are also now realizing that this digital transition is happening you know ten years ago when the what was you know the disruption of say music or movies or telecommunications and and Whatever travels and other things It was very much about being disrupted and and and you could be quite aggressive with that I think what we see now is that it's actually about working with corporations as well And it's very encouraging to see some of the very large corporations are Understanding this and they're investing in tech companies investing in funds to partnering with companies and a lot of them are here today So we think there are a very very important role in in this ecosystem as well Atomico report actually it says that we're at a record amount of corporate money going into venture capital funds It's 20 it's over 20 percent and you know therefore In companies like founders factory which are getting the corporates into an entity together to help I'll start up fine product my market fit and to help those start up scale I'm not global Giants like L'Oreal Aviva easy jet those are the sort of companies that are doing it and What we've seen is those corporates in the years 2000 they got their fingers burnt and they stayed away for a long time But now they're back They've tried some other things but they're back and they see that they really need to work with the innovative entrepreneurs that are here today Yeah, it's really exciting times and speaking of the system that we mentioned We all know that investors play a key role in enabling and accelerating companies and also the founders I'm curious to hear how do you think we can work together the investors to ensure? We're building these massive 100 billion dollar companies and how does our system actually work? So how does the VCs work together? I mean I'm an angel of Esther you do seed we do a run and upwards and then we have David Maybe you can talk to the entrepreneurs here about how it actually in reality works when we Starting from the earlier stage, I think the hardest bit and I think there are 400 startups presenting in one of the one of the areas today Which fills me with joy and fear Because it's so many and how do you filter? So I think the art the answer is the ecosystem just needs to help each other in terms of filtering out is One thing is a filter the second thing is actually helping that talent find product market fit and helping them find credibility and gravitas So that's one of the things we love to do is find an entrepreneur with a great idea and say look here's five people You should meet who can help you. Here's the advisory board. You should build Here's the super angels who can come in and really help you build that company and then We can say once they've found product myth market fit We can move along the chain and say here's some great VCs later stage funds Yeah, no, it's when we look at how we source and we just looked at the other day You know the investments we've done over these years Almost all of these companies are from our network. So we have relationship with you know most Early-stage investors in Europe and we meet with them regularly and they tell us here good companies You should look at because they have an interest for those companies to get funding and for us We have an interest to find the great companies and then when we have worked with these companies to scale them a few years We go to David and his teams and other growth investors as they hear some good companies you guys should look at So that's really how the ecosystem is is working in a very collaborative way and and it is On the investment side is much more being collaborative than being competitive. Yeah. Yeah, I think we are all partners It's an ecosystem and we're trying to provide Capital our companies are growing for different scale. We are a later stage investor So we want to help them to to push the pedal. They are winning They want to go global they need to scale and we want to provide them capital to go big to achieve their dream So we lack entrepreneurs that are hungry passionate, but it take a lot of capital and often a lot of time and patience Until you achieve your your your full vision and we were speaking before about Spotify, for example And it takes some time before Spotify is kind of the leading player that it is today What do I so we want to support those players and so we're coming and providing them Capital but also expertise inside from a global portfolio to help them to have a truly global vision and help them to scale I mean a good example, you know as everybody has example is I think a good example would be super self example like to choose like a local kind of player is You know, we we finance them in 2013. We give them 1.5 billion And I think it helps them to stay independent It helps them to focus on building the best mobile games and he helps them to go global They wanted to build the first and the best Mobile gaming global company and he's helped them to do that and you know last year We're talking about 10 cent the company that was valued as more than 10 billion So that's a great example of scaling company and helping them to achieve like their dream Cool. Thank you. And also with regards to what mr. Al Gore earlier said What do you guys think we can do here in Europe to make sure we're building companies that of course generate great returns to investors but also to society I think it's you know the great news is that when you look at the surveys and you hear about Millennials and you hear the cheers that went up after Al Gore during Al Gore's speech What they really want to do is work with companies for purpose So it's it's a very selfish thing as well as an altruistic thing for entrepreneurs to have purpose right at the beginning of their mission So one of the other things we've set up is is founders pledge Which is entrepreneurial giving commitment for entrepreneurs over 1,100 entrepreneurs have now signed up to it And they do it from the very start of their journey. They commit and they think about Their impact on society right at the beginning now within that I think I'll go back to some of the themes that we've touched on earlier today But one of them would be you know medtech things like I've invested in startups that are literally trying to cure cancer I think we probably a lot many of us have right so these are the sorts of things where you see They have entrepreneurs with a wonderful mission But they're also a confluence of factors that are happening today big data plus big science equals curing disease So not 140 character tweets to quote someone else's website So I think there's you know, we're seeing more and more partly and education is another one You know, you'll see so many great entrepreneurs wanting to do To see that it education in the skills gap is a way to solve Some of the disenchantment and some of the societal issues that we've had today So we're seeing more and more Entrepreneurs in that area. I think as ever the challenge for Europe, which we haven't really addressed is how do you build pan European businesses? And how do you lower the barriers to that and that comes with some of these social goods because some of them find it hard to Build right across Europe. Yeah so 11 years ago, I had an opportunity to watch Al Gore when he did his inconvenient truth presentation in a much smaller group and I was like back then. I thought I was like a superstar.  I went up to him is like Al. What do I do? It's like, well, you figure out He's okay fine. Thanks, but But I rose to the to the challenge and and then I started to do so philanthropic giving and which is great We continue to do that But what we have realized over the last few years is that and just because we see these entrepreneurs Who are usually like I've been passionate about building a world-leading company But it building products and services which at scale they have a huge impact on the same climate And these are companies like Electrical Aircross like Lilium in in in Germany. There's companies like farm drop the changing the Food supply chain. There's you know meter placement companies and I Truly believe that those are the companies that would be great of tomorrow for two reasons one is that it's all about talent You know if you don't have the best talent you the best idea doesn't work You need to attract the best talent and the best talent as Brent was saying They want to work for mission-driven companies that has an impact. The other thing is consumers in millennials are Don't need to tell you that because you're here are much more willing to buy products and services from companies Which have a sustainable supply chain both from an environmental, but also social point of view That's studies are clearly showing that so it's just good business practice to build to invest in these companies So that's what may make me really really, you know excited about that there are few There's not all companies but a lot of companies that actually can have a big big impact on on Specifically on on the environment and do you think Europe is better place than any other place to sort of facilitate the growth of these companies I Think that we have it's about playing to our strengths and you know We're sitting in in Finland, which is probably the one of the most Agilitarian countries in the world is one of the most environmental friendly I would say that they're more environment friendly than than my home country, Sweden Which also by the way, it's very environmentally friendly. So is Germany. So is Denmark I think we are ahead of the curve compared to the rest of the world thinking about these things and that's something we've been Learning when we're you know in school from early age. So I think we have a competitive advantage in that way Yeah, I think good ideas and good teams can come from anywhere We are really excited because we think what an inflection point is a technology cycle So there's a new wave of technology AI machine learning robotic, etc Which is going to impact every industry, you know, you know, I mean Brent was mentioning some of them But you know everything is going to be impacted So people have the opportunity to to work now on on company and Technologies that are going to change society for the better. They can have a huge impact on solving the world's problem in some way You know medtech is one for example, we invest in a company called Guardian Health They are working on improving the detection rate for cancer for example for machine learning and genomics This is fascinating So people in Europe and elsewhere have a chance to participate to that those adventures and us as investors We're like really excited to be able to accelerate the pace of progress and help those people to you know Not only achieve their dream, but make kind of all experience of product Or experience of services and the society better tomorrow decreasing pollution of solving cancer, etc, etc This is exciting times. Yeah, really exciting times Okay, so I'm jumping a bit now from a entrepreneurial perspective So if you're an entrepreneur and you've been backed by one of you guys How do you help them and support them in their journey and I can just relate to when I was newly hired at Spotify and Heading up global marketing and being 24 I didn't really have anyone to bounce ideas with that have been on a similar journey And I think today these these are working in a in a different way where it's not just about money. It's also about Support and advice. Do you want to talk a bit about that? I think what's also changed in that area is that there's more leverage So I mean we've all got good examples of just we're just individuals here But we've got organizations and structures that can help us leverage So I'm very lucky now that between all those organizations I said that we have you know For example, it found this factory 60 full-time people that will help entrepreneurs with whether it's growth hacking or whether it's a Blockchain smart contract firm. How can you get the deal the proof of the proof the pilot with Aviva? So make sure that so that once you've done that actually everyone else says while you've proven it So you found you've helped them found find product market fit So that's one of the areas I'm another might be another company that really needs credibility So we've said right here are the four people who should be on your advisory board and they've gone to them And they've actually invested in them and they've changed change the course of that company So I think another thing is just being authentic with the founder and not wanting to as Nikola said We're not in this actually sounds terrible. We're not in this to make money We're in this to make a difference to make an impact and because you know in my case I just love it when you see that founder who says yes later You've changed my life because of those things that you or your company have done to help me So I think there's something authentic and that's the one thing I'd urge founders to do is to find the people who Authentically want to help you and that's to be honest why I think Nicholas and I have done a lot together over the many years since we've we've known each other is because we both found a common thread in that Authenticity of what we want us to do next. Yeah, I think As Brent said it's about having building this platforms I mean at Tomiko where we're happy we have a big fund and we can invest a lot of money But money is actually commodity today But then what we have is like we have 50 people and we have assembled a lot of people who have a lot of operational Experience including yourself Sophia, but the people who've been part of scaling companies like Skype, you know Google Facebook Uber Virgin and a few others and they're there they're kind of to help Help companies with some other eyes having said that though. It's it's Actually the founders and their teams who are we're not there to do the jobs for them We can help we can give advice and we can a little bit like there will be a bump in the road ahead of you that you should Just brace yourself. You'll be fine But you know some but at the end of the day It's actually the founders who have to to to build their companies We can help them the other thing that we're trying to do is to push them and and to stretch them Just like You know if you go if you're training for some if you train by yourself He's gonna you're gonna do 80% But if you have a trainer they're pushing you You're gonna train 95% 97% and you're gonna have a better workout And that's a little bit how we think our role is as well also kind of pushing the founders and Encouraging to think bigger and and be a bit more aggressive and in their approach No, I agree. I mean it's more than capital for sure I think we all have resource to help entrepreneurs Helping them and connection insight experience who have had in the past of like scaling big businesses across the globe One thing that's reason 8 we want between entrepreneur and us is that we are long-term investors So we want to be partner with Entrepreneurs for 5 10 20 years is going to be a long journey and we want to be part of that journey with them All the way so I mean the analogy we often use is It's like a boat trip you see, you know where you want to go in the distance and of course if you look in front of the boat These waves and they go up and down up and down and this can be quite scary And you need to solve those waves in those issues but it's very helpful to have a view on the long-term horizon and I think Providing long-term capital is helping entrepreneur to focus on their dream on their big vision and And knowing that there's somebody on their side to achieve that vision And so that's something often that resonates and that often we discuss with entrepreneur about Which you know, which is about how to maintain the cap to get to the island again. Yeah So we talked about people building world-changing businesses and we also talk about how we as investors can help them in that journey and We also talked about the momentum with more money coming in and more companies being built and more strong technology being available for more people So now it feels like we're in this place where we have a lot of tools lined up and That brings me sort of I would love to hear what you guys think about the future What do you think is possible and what type of businesses do you feel will be built in the upcoming year? So if we sit here next year, what type of companies would you love to see pitching? Well, I think it's it's the same answer our investors often give right? It is people who are addressing the huge challenges, you know Are the challenges big enough and are they playing to their competitive advantage and the geographic competitive advantage? So, you know, we've spoken a little bit about deep tech and AI and those sort of areas But you know Europe has again this amazing wealth of really smart You know a global leadership to some extent in some of those areas So you'd want to see people skating to where the puck isn't and leveraging what they can play what what the fields that they're experts in And it is going after as we said today those massive industries that haven't yet been disrupted and understanding Well, some of the technology trends how they're going to play out whether it are things like, you know trends that we know Apple love augmented reality, right? So we know so what what are the trends that augmented reality and can you mix them? What's really exciting if you say well, it's education and medicine and augmented reality So if you're ticking all those three boxes, you're like, yeah, that's kind of exciting You know and then obviously today you can't we can't we haven't mentioned enough of crypto and blockchain and changing the entire Banking industry, which I know some of these people around here are looking at, you know, so It's those sorts of areas and then I think the other area that we may well go into a bit more is Geographic arbitrage again, and that would be places like Africa where there is so much good to be done And Lastly the one we probably haven't said enough about but it would be gov tech because governments are so wonderfully when you look at entrepreneur what you see with the government you see something that's so Unbelievably inefficient and you should look at that and say my god. I know it's gonna be hard, but it's time to transform them Yeah, I see that we're running out of time unfortunately because there's so much to discuss but quickly Nicholas and Dave I think the thing that is interesting that with technology we live living in in the law of accelerated Returns so that means that in the next ten years. We're gonna see more disruption than we saw in the last ten years So every year is gonna be more exciting in that way, which means that there are bigger opportunities and bigger problems that that can be Solved I agree with with with brand that ed tech so education is something that needs to be fixed. It's it's yet The education is one of the sectors that is yet not really Disrupted by technology yet. It might be one of the most important sectors because if we don't fix education We don't fix the future So that's something that we like us, you know like to see more of it's really hard it's because it's a very very slow system the same thing with with Medtech we've seen with a lot used the last year a lot of med tech companies That's something we will continue to see but it's also about using this deep tech technology is using AI You know I ut and and big data and other kind of emerging technologies to solve some of these problems Lastly Dave. Yeah, so like I said really excited because this is a new information revolution And I think people can work now and now working now on building if you want the foundational kind of Platform that are going to be the platform of tomorrow We're talking about few industries, and I think every industry is going to be changed tremendously What happened with the internet? Is nothing compared to what's going to happen now the pace is accelerating Industries are going to change society is going to change for the better because of this and this tremendous opportunity in every sector So we're really excited about it. And you know, I think we're going to see Those foundational platform building Europe and this is going to be excited like for European entrepreneur to build those platforms and take them globally Even more than before All right, so time is up, but thank you guys so much for coming here and discussing and let's have fun investing more companies together Yeah, absolutely. Thank you


it's official lunar new year is now a new york state public school holiday let's talk about why or why this isn't a big deal well you know for me i was hoping for some infrastructure or maybe some economic or safety improvements but i guess a day off for my kid is uh a compromise that i will have to accept well that's what the 30 million dollar uh state fund was to help you know crisis intervention and possibly help stop uh anti-asian hate governor kathy holschl tweeted proud design legislation declaring lunar new year an official school holiday in new york this is an important step to recognizing the importance of new york's aapi community and the rich diversity that makes our state so great of course andrew uh representative grace meng also said that you know people laughed at me when i said i was gonna make lunar new year a state holiday in 09 and now we finally got it done but of course andrew people on the internet even within the asian community were split on it right because some people said man you guys are just pandering to the mandarins to get our vote and other people were like oh this is great i feel seen and you saw opinions all across the board all right guys we're going to give you our thoughts and then we'll go into the top comments so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pop boys you know what else is another great way to celebrate lunar new year andrew what with smile a smile a sauce dot com get the pre-orders right now from seachwan to sicily i'm telling you you can use this in any instance that you would typically use an olive oil or soy sauce or lau gamma yeah it's delicious made with real truffle and seachwan peppercorn it's got a nice little buzzing kick at the end it's delicious anyway smile a sauce dot com um i want to talk about david i just have i overall am positive on this i don't think it changes the world for asians i think it's a step to show the power or the influence of asian politicians politicians in new york which you do want them to have some impact now is this the most important thing ever it's actually not i don't meet personally i don't i didn't need like a day off for my future kids if they're new york i think it would be better off if they like actually had to study some sort of asian culture pan asian culture doesn't even have to be chinese and like they just dedicated half that day to learning about asians in america yeah i do think it could also worked if they just celebrated lunar new year or asian culture in schools and like you know because the other kids who are not from those lunar new year type families they're not going to celebrate it on their day off right yeah yeah the only thing that i'm really worried about is when you when kids have a day off what are they going to do are they even going to appreciate it are they even going to celebrate lunar new year and what activities do we have planned for kids on their day off because as you know most kids who don't know any chinese people who are not super close with a chinese family they're not going to do anything yeah well they already got 34 days off in a year it's just like tacking another one on there right yeah i don't know i just feel like the most chinese thing would be like i want the kids to stay in school and learn more about the culture it's all about developing those galactic no but if you really want to reward the asian family in the asian culture you should add on days of school just more homework so then my child's lead will increase over everybody else because i know probability wise my child will do the homework government hutshow how about this you keep the day of school okay we just talk about lunar new year and then you just bump every asian kid gpa just point one for the day that's what we oh they would definitely take that trade um i used to care a lot of stuff about a lot of stuff like this maybe 10 15 years ago but i sort of realized nowadays that it's really more about just like irel right it's more about how the chinese community or asian american community whoever celebrates lunar new year like interfaces with everybody else right it's not really about what these politicians say stop looking at politicians i don't care if it's on the left right up down to validate your identity in america that don't mean nothing to just how you walk out and meet a hundred thousand random people that are not politicians because politicians make it their job to appeal to their voter base and one time i met chuck schumer chuck schumer was a really high ranked democrat i talked with him for like three four minutes about p king duck i'm telling you new york jewish guy he had a ton of opinions on p king duck way more than i would have anticipated do i always remember that did it stick with me sure did that make me just want to blindly support him for the rest of my life no it didn't why would it i mean i just feel like it's more about internal dynamics within our community so i just don't want people to like be looking at these politicians for validation okay okay okay but it is a state holiday david that that's that is still we i mean we have to say that this was not easy to get an entire day off of school right you have to push this through let's just throw it out to what 15 levels of bureaucracy yeah so i mean i want to give some people some credit for sure uh let's get to the comment section somebody said it's performative what about addressing the anti-asian violence oh they're just pandering it's not necessary since we got a holiday i guess to address all the murders and robberies of asian people huh somebody else and i don't know still progress to me um what do you think are we are you on the progress side in room yeah i think it's progress i think i think there's some progress somebody said great stop the mega jail from being built in china town now somebody said oh let's make it a holiday for all 49 states and someone said yeah buddy i live in louisiana that ain't happening no time soon here because people do not give a damn about that over here um some people saying man i remember in school and my parents asking if we got the day off other people said oh we used to get it off but they just called it mid-winter break because they didn't want to call it something foreign and other people said oh i would just call out anyway um of course some american people were like what a stupid and worthless holiday i don't care and someone said just china celebrate the july 4th holiday huh why are we celebrating their holiday over here in the west huh um andrew i wouldn't compare by the way it's not really july 4th it's more like a thanksgiving type vibe right right right i mean how much does this show that the democrats obviously are way more culturally sensitive to different smaller subgroups and tribes obviously than the republicans right does this show some sort of macro shift because some people say that republicans and just want everybody to adapt anglo-saxon protestant capitalistic norms right and on the left it's more like every group gets everything right to each two is to its own yeah acknowledging every group so yeah i mean i i think that uh this is kind of more of the democrat play i don't think it's wrong i do think that it shows that they're thinking about us i mean to give like a whole school day off i mean you'd have to say that's significant right uh here's some more boomer comments obliques obviously from yahoo news someone said i support this overall i ain't gonna make nothing of it these asian peeps deserve it they don't steal and loot and someone said yeah they only steal trade and national secrets that's just stealing on a different level i don't know why you're luck him so much and then somebody said oh my gosh it's going to become like malaysia you know we have holidays all year around because we have so many different groups of people to cater to and someone was like just another nail in the coffin for already behind the global standards public school students what do you think of that this is i always said this man the most chinese thing would be the demand more school i i bet your chinese parents are like you already giving my kids 34 days off of school maybe you cut it down to 13 that will make me more happy how about the best way to celebrate lunar new year is just give everybody the test beforehand and give them extra time to study for the test yeah somebody said man at the end of the day this is not going to be any sort of federal or national thing because it is designed state to state district to district already there was other districts that had done this before if they had a very high chinese or for example asian population i guess david um i think it's debated and you guys in the comments down below let me know if you think this is a big deal what else would you want instead let's say you could trade lunar new year as a holiday listen i'm chinese i celebrate chinese new year aka lunar new year obviously they chose the better term to call it lunar new year not chinese new year in america which makes sense to me but i guess for me i i wasn't looking for a day off right but it's just better to get acknowledgement yeah in with without shutting the infrastructure down to have the infrastructure going to have the school system acknowledge it during the day and have the kids talking about it at school i think is even a bigger deal so i would have loved to have that built in more into the curriculum now asian american studies it's true some people have pushed through that it's going to be a larger part of new york city school curriculum too because new york obviously does have a huge asian population huge chinese population so i think these things are moving in the direction to build long-term empathy for the asian community right you're saying it starts with small gestures even though this is with small gestures and it starts with the young yeah you know what i mean so it's like a lot of these kids who grow up celebrating chinese new year or at least having a day off i don't know if they're actually going to celebrate it but if they have a day off then maybe in the future they're going to be more uh compassionate some of them are going to get dollar dumplings in china town yeah some portion of them right maybe i'm not saying we have no statistics for this but maybe it it helps stop people from being mean to asian elderlies um i just think that the left or like let's just quote i'm not saying that it's all liberals or whatever but like the left they always have the right idea but the execution is always real wonky in my opinion of course it is great to acknowledge people's individual identities or things that make them different or different from what existed in america prior to 1970 or whatever you call it 1870 depending on which immigration wave you're looking at but it just feels like they could have implemented a program during school and that would have been way more impactful like you know what i mean like you know how corporations for lunar new year andrew like in the corporate cafeteria at google they just start serving more asian food right yeah like i think that that would work a lot better right and it's almost like i just don't know what do they do the oh do all asians got a vote for hoechl now you know what i mean like because what she acknowledges identities but what if they prioritize other things right because everybody prioritizes different things yeah yeah i mean i think for me uh i think on this day that i think the kids should like learn about martial arts or something yeah i think that would be cool or even the contributions to martial arts you know what i mean so people like mma can see the asian roots of it or something um i think that when i see stuff like this i just go cool everything's going according to plan because the left is running the identarian plan the right is like if you adapt to us anglo-saxon protestant norms plan and just this is it like this is what should happen right if you're a politician on either side you're essentially have bought into that macro plan with some slight deviation that you can pick yourself yeah but it's like that's what the the asian politicians on the left are supposed to do is fight for days like this right yeah but i i just hope they didn't burn up all their juice you know yeah burn up all their political capital right because if something on the left doesn't align with asian interests they're powerless to stop it that's the truth because they already bought into the squad i'm just saying the next day holiday should be a voting holiday i'm all for it i'll tell you this if you're um an asian family whether you're thinking about having a family in the future you are the sun the sun got to take care of the planets in order like you your your your immediate family you were born into nuclear family the family you start which is uh your becomes your new nuclear family aside from the one you were born into then it goes to your hyper local community then your community then it goes to this like statewide national macro level but you know what the thing is i believe that both parties they want you to think about from pluto all the way back towards the sun they want you to spend all your time thinking about supporting pluto but the sun got to think about the sun first and then work its way out on the rings of the solar system that's how i feel about it work your ways out work you are the sun work your way out to pluto these parties are existing on pluto let us know what you guys think in the comment section below was it pandering was it valid was it somewhere in the middle what else would you want to see instead until next time we to hop up boys we out peace

Okay, so let's get into your reading. See what the energies are for the rest of May here. Virgo's Sun, Moon, Rising, or Venus for love. Okay. Cupid's arrows. Wow. Have faith. Love is coming. Surprise invitation or meeting. And a little bit of hesitation here. Okay, so you might be feeling hesitant. Maybe somebody could be reaching out to some of you. Trying to have some kind of a love connection with you. Cupid's arrow is definitely biting. There's love biting. Just keep it bite. Little love bites. I feel like you're gonna get asked out and I feel like it's going to be a surprise. Like you don't expect it or you meet up with someone that you don't expect to be connecting with. Okay, there's hesitation here. So I do feel and I'm sorry it's not so bright. I'm just trying to get it brighter when I get the reading uploaded. But I kind of get a sense for some reason. Somebody's hesitant to reach out to you. And I don't feel like it's for a bad reason. I feel it's kind of like it could be about timing. They're not trying to... Yeah, there's somebody here who's not trying to come off as desperate, right? Like they're taking their time. This is how I feel.  That they're interested. Why is that? I'm doing that. Okay, that they're just trying to like play it cool. Okay, took me so long just to get to that point. Somebody's trying to play it cool here. Alright, let's see what else is going on. Oh well, hello there soulmate. Okay, so looks like it's gonna be a soulmate connection. This is... Maybe this is already happening to you. For some of you it's a surprise and you don't expect it. So soul connection, partnership, agreement, a soul contract. So this is like your other half. There's some kind of familiarity here between... You might recognize with this person. Let me see if I can get a little bit brighter. Some kind of recognition, soul recognition, some kind of similarity between you and another person. This feels like the two of cups energy, like mutually exclusive, mutually exclusive, is that the word? Meeting of the minds. And there's an understanding here. Alignment, equally yoked as some people say. There's alignment. It's like the same values, the same morals, possibly the same background and the same upbringing or similarities in those ways. It could be similar culture, similar geographic locations. I think you would understand what that means but it's a soulmate connection. This is for life. This is soulmate for life. Alright, let's see what else. What else is here? What do you know here? Okay. Oh, so you've got a boat. Okay. Receiving what you need. Progression, arriving, moving on, closure issues. Okay. Now, so there could be something here like with a boat. This person could be on a boat or they could live on a boat or they could be coming to see you by way of water or there could be a date on a boat or somewhere where there's boats or pier. They could be coming from far away. This feels like shipment and delivery. Sailing, sailing away together. Somebody's arriving, relationship or a soulmate connection. You know, I feel like this is about timing. I feel like two people like Cupid is shooting his arrow into both of you at the same time bringing you both together. This is the falling in love kind of energy, right?  Is this somebody new? Is this somebody old? Well, we'll find out as the reading goes to see what this energy is playing out for you. So let's see what else Tarot has to say. Wow.  Oh my goodness. Here we get another boat. Okay. Somebody's facing their fears. Overcoming, taking, this is movement. It's coming out. You see the water? You see how choppy that water is here? And then it's calmer there in the distance. This is like trying to get out of a troubling situation. Emotional, struggle, trouble. We also have all of these, let me see if you can see it. We also have all of these dragonflies at the bottom here. So this is definitely like spiritual enlightenment, transformation of some sort. Somebody could have dark hair. Okay. There's definitely somebody here overcoming, facing some fears. Overcoming. I don't want to say it's taking a risk, but it's weird. They just gave me an image of like a moth to a flame. This is what I'm this what I'm picking up like a moth to a flame, a necessary transition, relocation, moving, moving on a moth to a flame. Someone who's attracted to your light. Okay. Let me see. And you know as a general rule, sixes represent harmony, appreciation, a self-sacrifice, a loyal person, someone who's responsible. So let's see maybe taking responsibility for something. Wow. Tower. This is like shocking. Somebody's coming toward you. And whether it's on a boat or they're traveling in some way, this is shocking. This feels kind of like unexpected. This person, this person is on their way to you to prevent. Okay. So they're giving me a couple of messages here on their way to prevent the destruction of something or to help rebuild after the tower has fallen. Okay. And then they're giving me this emotional rescue. Okay. So I'm thinking of that very old song by the Rolling Stones, which I used to love the Stones when I was, you know, like really young. And that song, I can hear it playing in my head. And that was the words that they were giving me, like an emotional rescue. Honestly, I don't know what the words mean, the lyrics. Because I was a kid when I listened to that song and I remember going back again to listen to it, but maybe there's a message in that song for you. So yeah, it feels like somebody might know you're in turmoil or knows that you're struggling with something or that the house is like falling down or the relationships falling apart. And somebody's coming in here to, they're telling me like save the day. And if like then, if then one of the nights shows up, then that should confirm that message. But right now it feels like, it feels like somebody's coming in here to help, help, but it's Cupid's arrows as well. Okay. It feels like that necessary, like they know they have to do something here. Okay. So we've got the queen. Okay. So this person is struggling in their own, in their own way. Okay. So queen of cups. This is water, sign, element, cancer, scorpio pisces. Somebody is very intuitive, nurturing, caring, has a deep sense of self, deep sense, understanding of the emotions, very feeling oriented person. But I also feel for some of you that this, this is someone who's an empath, but I feel like that might be more your energy that somebody is trying to, it feels like this person is breaking down. And they're, they're, they're trying to do something about it and they're coming to you. There's definitely a soulmate connection. There's definitely love here, but it feels like this person is like, they know they need to come toward you to keep them from, keep them and keep you and keep both of you from falling apart. Okay. Because it's not like it's about to fall apart. It's, it's the issue is that things are falling apart with both, with two people here. Okay. I don't know if you might even be together. This just could be separately. All right. For some, I just heard, okay. And I'm gonna just, I just have to put this out there. I don't know if this is a warning or if this is just something, I don't, Spirit just wants me to tell you.  Do they have like tumultuous, their feelings are in disarray and their emotions are rocky and choppy and they're unstable emotionally. You bring warmth and a sense of stability to the emotions because that's what the Queen of Cups does. She's nurturing. And I feel like somebody's got like their egos, their ego is broken, you know, because of the crown chakra here, this like destruction of that crown chakra energy, just like out of the blue, something must have happened to this person. And could they be coming in for an ego stroke? Yeah. Is it for to manipulate? I don't feel that way. I don't, I know that that can sound, you know, that's used in very derogatory ways nowadays because, you know, we have this influx of narcissism and things like that going on. I'm not picking up that energy here. I just feel like someone knows that you have or believes that you have something within you that's able to keep people from losing their their head or their temper or something along those lines. I'm gonna get clarifying card on this tower. Let me see. It's such a weird message. Okay. Seven of one. So this is defensive energy. This person's like going, alright.  This is what's happening. They're having a mental breakdown. And if this is someone that you knew or you were dealing with in the past or someone you knew before in whatever way, romantic friendship, work, whatever, the nature of the relationship, acquaintance, whatever. I feel like this person, the only way they can prevent from falling apart is by coming to you. Now I am not saying that this is not someone who's coming in just to get a hit off your energy and then leave. But I'm not not saying that. Okay. So I feel like it's really important that you hear me because after the messages, whatever comes out, you know, as I always say, you have agency. You have to be the one like to discern because in context, each of your relationships are different. You know your history. Okay. So I feel like this person, it's it's not okay. So they're saying that this person's fighting back, losing themselves. And now it's now they're telling me, wait, now they're saying it's romantic. So now they're saying this person can't keep the ego up. They can't keep the ego up anymore. That's what I'm hearing. Okay. So maybe you you might not know this person. And then you guys kind of maybe there's a date or somebody reaches out to your connects with you for those of you who are like, I have no idea who this is.   Okay.  So it's kind of two separate messages because, listen, I, like I said here, I'm not, I don't see anything in the top cards when I started the reading that tells me this is somebody new. And I don't see that it tells me it's somebody from the past. So it could really be either or either or. Okay. But let's move on. Let's move on. Show me this queen of cups here. Okay. Five of Panicles. So this person feels completely lost. Okay. Either lost without you or just lost in general. And they're looking for a nurturing partner. And they're seeking that in you. Something tells me that they know this about you. So I don't know how, if you've never met them before, they may sense that from you when you guys, you know, get together. And there's like you have an invitation or you guys hook up or get together. There's something that this person senses or will sense from you that, you know, they can drop their ego. They don't have to be defensive. They can your energy brings soothing calm kind of thing to their heart. And I feel like this person comes to terms with that.  So whether this is a realization from some of the past, or somebody new, I mean, come on, the lovers is here. So this is definitely like two people making a decision here to come together. Deep partnership. This is a choice. Okay. To love each other to come into a romantic loving deep partnership with another person vulnerability. Again, with the six harmony, this is what this person is facing their fears and riding towards is that love connection.  They've got no one and they've got nothing really, no one that they can really call a true love partner. Okay, this is amazing. So on the table, we have cancer scorpio Pisces and Gemini so far. Okay. All right. Look, a salon. So there's an initiation here of new love. This is coming down from the heavens. This is this is not necessarily something that this person's initiating on their own. This is one of those things where like a spark gets made, you know, something comes in here where two people have this urge to come together. Okay, and this person has this urge to come to be with you. Right.  So this person definitely wants to kiss you. That's for sure. So I'm hearing this is not this is this is not based on the sexism I'm hearing. Okay, so if it's the same same couple, or, you know, it embraces everything, it embraces all the different genders, all the different sexes, whatever, you know, everything that's out there that can be out there. Because I know there's a male and a female on here, but I'm not I'm just feeling like love is all encompassing here and the embracing aspect. So I get it. So what they're telling me here is this person, they're coming towards you for to have, you know, their intention is to make that soul connection with you to have that deep loving partnership with you. There's nothing here. Even if they're even if the ego stroke aspect is there in some way, it's not necessarily bad. It's just they want to be admired and they want to be loved and they want to be liked. Okay. And they want to be noticed. And they don't want to fight. They don't want their pride to get in the way because they know, you know, the pride and love can't really coexist, you know, that negative pride, that pride where somebody's too proud to be humble or to love because to love, we have to be humble and vulnerable. Right. I mean, that's what love is. So I see. Okay. So now we have the death card transformation change. So whatever this person is going through, they're ready to make some kind of change here. Whatever they're doing, wherever they've been in their life, whatever the energies we're playing out, this person is like even done with the ego thing and the pride and ready to settle into something healthy or to cultivate create a healthy partnership with you. Okay, seven of swords, hang man. Okay, so any deceit or deception? I feel like this person is some there may have been some portion of this person's life where they were kind of a scoundrel, sneaky, scoundrel. I'm not again, like I'm not picking up a malignancy here. I just want to say that I'm picking up selfish, very selfish tendencies in this person. And there I'm not singling them out because I think everybody has elements of selfishness at times selfishness is not necessarily bad. But the seven of swords I feel like this person ran away from change confrontation. I feel like this person just in relationships when things got demanded of them are needed to be addressed. It was too scary for them. And there was this running away. This person has seen things differently here. Because with that hang man, that's Pisces energy, the death card is Scorpio. So I feel like this person is kind of like waking up and and, you know, they realize that they got themselves stuck in this pattern of negative behavior. But they're also now seeing a different like they it's like, again, self sacrifice wisdom, ready to sacrifice for another person, which of course would be you having a different viewpoint, a different perspective, looking at things in a different light, right? And accepting it's almost as if this person's having this inner clarity where yeah, they ran away from relationships or they ran away from any turmoil that might have happened. But they were also causing the turmoil.  And I feel like, or they were trying to get a reaction out of others in their past, this became like some kind of a pattern. Okay, now we have an ace on an ace. So Ace of Pentacles here. So the opportunity is coming here. I feel this person, it feels like they see that they don't want to miss this final opportunity to do it right this time or in their life in their love life. They don't want to screw this up. This is what I'm hearing. They don't want to screw this up. Okay. All right, so nine of swords, pages swords. This person is stressing. Okay, they have a lot of stress, you know, I feel like they want to be able to move things forward. They're not sure how you feel, or they won't be sure how you feel about them. And why is that Virgo? What is going on? I'm also picking up Aquarius, Leo and Taurus. Why is this? Are you Virgo? I feel like you might be giving off some vibes. Oh, what the high priest? That's the Hierophant. Oh, you're holding, you're holding to a standard in your life and you're holding this person or you will hold this person to a standard. Okay, you're not playing around. Look at you. You're sitting there the King of Pentacles. This both could be Taurus energy. You're fixed. If you've got that, you know, representing that in your, your, your morals and your beliefs are fixed at this point. Okay, you have like these expectations that you feel that anybody that is going to try to come into a relationship of some sort with you, they have to meet these high standards, they have to meet these conventional expectations, they have to conform. Because you're not playing, you're not playing.  Everybody knows that.    If you're kind of in this place, like if you want to come here, and be a partner of, you know, Virgo CEO partner Virgo Inc. You know, you're going to have to like, be in that same arena as me.  It's it'll be like a shutout. So you're looking for a real contender, you're looking for someone who can hold their own here. Look at that high priestess and the high priest. Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying.  Okay, that's what you're looking for. The high priestess and the high priest, or the higher fought, they go together. Okay, someone who's I can never I'm going to get like a little claw or clip to hold these this the way my camera is. The high priest and the high priestess are you know, they're like very spiritual. You're very spiritual. You're looking for someone who has that as well, whether that's, you know, for some it could be same religion or same spiritual beliefs.   So I feel like that's this person is kind of like, not used to this. I don't if this is someone from your past returning, they're getting a whole new Virgo.  I heard somebody say, you know, if you were in a relationship in the past, that was toxic, and then something ended, and then you both got back together. It's never too late to raise your standards. You can always raise your standards. You don't have to go back into the same, you know, toxic thing, you don't have to just keep it continue on.   Right. So you're, you're definitely like, if you're going to make, look, here's the night. So if you're going to make some kind of offer to me of some sort, it's got to be pure from your emotion and your heart, and it's got to be sincere. Otherwise, you're not, you're like, keep it moving. You're not doing anything else here. So that's kind of where you stand. And I feel like you're now just, you know, everybody looks for themselves and another person, you know, everybody seeks the similarity and we should not exactly the same, but somewhat of a similarity. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that because, and I don't think there's anything wrong with opposites attracting because that puts a little spice and we learn from each other too.  You know, you're traveling, you, you both are on the train at the train station and you're on different trains, but you're heading in the same direction and maybe at some point at the end, you'll meet up and come together. Right. That's, that's kind of where you're at here.  Now you're in a, just a place of, you know, being able to choose what you want. You know, hold on a second here. You have concern at this time. I feel like you're very concerned. Yeah. But you're definitely open to an adventure, something new, taking an adventure and with someone new. Okay. And now we have the king of one. So we've got earths and we've got fire as well. Areas of Sagittarius, Virgo Taurus Capricorn. But you're definitely open to beginning again, starting over in your life, um, in relationship or just starting over with someone. Okay. And taking that trip as long as you're both on the same page, you're wanting the same things and you know, somebody's following the rules and the rules are respect, integrity, loyalty. Okay. Um, you're not looking for lies. You're not trying to be involved with anybody who lies. Um, you've, you've been, been there, done that. You're not looking for that. Okay. If someone doesn't have, is not secure within themselves to say, you know, I made a mistake and I'm willing to rectify that. What can I do? Um, that kind of energy, you're open to that because that pleases you, Virgo, because you love to help people, you know.  You're not looking for that. You're looking for someone that, you know, is willing to clean up after themselves. And then, you know, if they're not sure how to do it, then you're like, okay, well, this, this is what you could do, but I'm not doing it for you.  Like I said, you've got the Nine of Pentacles and I said in yesterday's reading, this is the same energy. You are really valuing yourself. This is, this is not conceited energy. This is self, this is high value. Okay. So you're now in this position here where, well, if I can't have what I want, I don't want it. Right. Because I have everything I need. So it's like you're, it's like your self-esteem is risen. Your wealth is good. You're, you're taking care of yourself on a financial level. You're doing everything you need to do for yourself here. Single and independent. Don't need no man. But want one. Right. But you're not taking, you know, these cards can be very medieval. You know, of course, the tarot. So it's kind of like, you know, she is the maiden. Okay. Which is why this is the Virgo card. So she's like one step before becoming a queen. And a queen can't be a queen unless she has a king. So you're, so as far as like being one step under the queen, you're at the top of the line here. Quite a catch. And usually, maidens are single until a suitor comes and is of high value. So usually the suitor that comes it's of high value is the night. Okay. I was watching a movie last night. It's an old movie from the 90s. It's called Sense and Sensibility. I don't know if you remember that. But I can't remember the actress's name. She was in Titanic. And I'm like a big fan of because I'm in America, but I'm a big fan of European movies, you know, and those medieval type period timepiece mirror movies and romance movies and stuff like that. And I was looking at all the characters in the movie and I was seeing the nights. And I was seeing, you know, all the different classes, which is very much similar in the tarot. They have all these different classes and peasants and pages and, you know, all that. And I was putting all of the pages and the peasants and the nights and the kings and the queens and all to all those people in that movie. And it was really giving me, it was like, it was like a live tower rating. The live love tower rating. I don't know if you've ever seen it. But yeah, definitely check it out. You'll see what I mean if you're interested in stuff like that. But it was, it was just this energy here where the Playboy came in, who was the page or the Knight of Cups and the Knight of Cups Willoughby in the movie, he was very much like messing around with this girl, messing around with that girl and, you know, just runs off his emotions and very charismatic and loving and funny and girls fall for him. But he's very unstable. No job really. Like he was just kind of just a free runner of his emotions, but he was very unstable and the maiden fell in love with him. But he broke her heart because he, you know, he was just going after whatever was going to suit him at the time and at the moment. So you have to be wary of people like that who are coming in with their, they're running off their emotions, you know, but emotions are so fluctuating up and down, left and right. They can change a lot or sometimes they could just stay steady for a while and then change again. Knights are just in and out, in and out, in and out. Come in, then they leave, come in, then they leave, you know, but very romantic. They draw you in and that's a maturity thing as well. Not an age thing because there's plenty of people who are older who still live by that night life. Get it? Nightlife. And there are those who are young, who are very mature and almost Kingsley or Queensley. Okay, so I just feel like the message is that this person will come in romantic, but as a knight, but they are also, that's their actions towards you, but they are also in King or Queen mode. Okay, where that's, but, but it's even higher. You're, you're not even looking for Queen. You're not looking for King. You're looking for this Hierophant and High Priestess similarity. It's almost like a spiritual connection. You're looking for very spiritual connection, not a class connection. Okay, because you already have class, right? All right. So as far as this person's feelings for you, well, let's take a look and see what the Romantic Angels have to say. Okay, first card out. Finance is in career. Okay. So, you know, that's very important to this connection. Financial issues are a factor in your love life right now. Okay, so that could be for you. That could be for this person where career choices, very focused on finances, focus on the credit, making sure the credit stays stable. Somebody has a concern about maybe a prenup. Somebody has a concern about getting with someone or, you know, coming into marriage or union of some sort, something like a legal partnership or just, you know, signing legal documents together, joint partnership. Somebody has a concern about doing that because, you know, because of issues with possible credit or financial losses and things like that. And somebody's concerned if another person's working. So is somebody financially stable? That's the question. Okay. And that's, that's something that I feel like plays a really big role in your love life. You know, as far as like type of person you're seeking or you're looking for or you're currently with or part of a decision that you may need to make. Let's see what else. Okay. So somebody's healing family issues right now. You know, the reading I did yesterday, somebody left a comment and obviously it was a troll or a bot.  Like I was, I was preaching some kind of holy doctrine. Okay. But I mean, I just deleted that person because I don't know if it was true or not. It's not even really worth spending my time talking about. But forgiveness is very important. And I don't think we need to be religious in order to practice the art of forgiveness because forgiveness is healing itself. Okay. So if you don't want to call it forgiveness, you want to call apology to self or not apology to another person.  It's a way of saying, I have to give this pass because if I don't give a pass, I'll suffer. There's this old term where you know, when we hold on to resentment for something somebody else did to us, most of the time that other person isn't even aware and they're sleeping like a baby and we're up all night pissed off. So resentment really just hurts you. It does. It doesn't hurt the other half the time people don't even know what they've done or that they've done anything wrong unless we speak up and we say how we feel without criticism or judgment.  You know, people most of the time, we go around our days doing things without intentionally trying to hurt people. And sometimes people get hurt. Excuse me. And we may not even know it, right?  That that's like a cancer to the soul. So anyway, healing family issue, somebody here is taking a look at their parents and forgiving a parent or parents for some traumas or childhood traumas and stuff like that or things that might have happened in a family or a past somebody seeking forgiveness from their children for some past family stuff as well. And it just feels like the love the love relationship going forward. It could be you could be the other person, but it makes the love relationship better because the for some because we have children here and there's there's two children and a father. So somebody maybe needs to forgive their father for something. It could be one child and a mother and father. So whatever the situation is or forgive a mother, putting it behind you forgiving the past, it can't be changed in healing from that makes the love relationship that brings benefit to this love relationship. Okay, one more please. Okay, yeah, loving yourself first, your self respect makes you more romantically attractive. So that's the goal for Virgo. Okay, you're absolutely on this thing where, okay, I'm letting go of the past. I'm forgiving and I'm loving myself first. I'm not putting other people. I'm not sacrificing sacrifice for my child, our children or grandkids, or people who you know, you know where to put your unconditional love, right? Because I don't feel like every single person in the world deserves. Well, it's not it's not about other people. It's more about giving yourself unconditional love. That's the really the message. Okay.  But I always say, when you're putting yourself first, when you're loving yourself first, you don't have to manipulatively put other people on the back burner, they just go there by default when you're caring for self first. It's so is it selfish? Yes. And but everybody has selfish tendencies, right? But it just means it's about self. It doesn't mean it's to harm other people. It doesn't mean purposely being selfish to harm another person. It just means I have to take care of my needs first. And I always say like, there was there was this old magnet thing hanging in the kitchen that said, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody going to be happy. Like mama got to take care of herself. Papa got to take care of himself first. You can't give to everybody. And then when you then you drain your well dried, you've got nothing for yourself. You have to replenish. All right, let me take a look here and see what the love messages are. I feel like I'm preaching in this reading. But seriously, I feel like a lot of you. So you've got somebody who's coming in here who see something special in you. And I do feel they want to try to give this a go and try to have like this supreme love partnership union with you. I feel like somebody and I don't feel like you're going to expect their behavior towards you. If you knew them before, this is completely different from them, how they were before. And but mostly I feel like that's because you're different. Now you're commanding. You're not demanding.  Right. There's a big difference between putting demands on people and then commanding someone, you know, like you're more, I feel you have a commanding presence and I feel like somebody here is a bit intimidated by that. But at the same time, it causes them you raise the bar and it causes them to have to, you know, reach that bar. Okay, obsession someone in this connection is gripped by obsessive thoughts. Okay. That's interesting. That doesn't feel healthy to me. So I'm not sure who that is. Could be you could be another person. Let's see. Okay. A friendship that's leading to more. Wow. Okay. So for some of you who already know this person, there's a friendship. And for others, it'll start as friendship. And then surprise, this person winds up wanting to have more with you. Okay. Romantic relationship. Cupid's arrows. All right, a leap of faith gets taken. It's safe to make the move you're considering. So I know when if you've already met this person, or if you haven't yet, there will be this time where you're like, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. And you might be obsessing over whether or not you should. And I feel like for some of you be getting signs about whether or not you should move something forward with someone. And if you're not, you may be asking for signs. You know, is this right for me? Should I do this? Should I not do this? Okay, stop obsessing over it. Just ask one time for signs to know if this is something that you should revisit or connect with this person. Is this person being brought to you from higher power? Or is this person being brought to you from a lower power? Okay, so let's see what the Chinese sign. Okay, we've got tiger, year of the horse, year of the snake, year of the horse again. So I'm going to have two horses, year of the dragon always shows up, year of the pig, and year of the ox. Okay, so it could be your sign and your other person's sign, or just yours or just theirs, or none. And don't worry about it if it's none. All right, let me just get a couple of monology cards and see what the message is here for you. Okay, be bold and make the first move. Wow. Okay, what do you need to release? Okay, interesting. So be bold and make the first move for some of you that might mean asking somebody out on a date or putting it out there that you have an interest. Okay, before they do. Or somebody does, you know, reach out and tries to connect with you and then your bold and the first move you make is where to go or where to meet. Okay, for some of you. But for most of you, this is like making the first move, be bold and make the first move and releasing. Be bold. I don't know what that means for you, for some of you. But that's the message. Be bold, make the first move and release something. Whatever that might mean for you. It may not mean towards this person. All right, let's check and see a couple of other messages here for you. Okay. Oh, serendipity, bright new prospect on the horizon here. This is probably what this is going to feel like.  And it's, it's like meant to be. Isn't that what serendipity means? Wait, I'm going to look it up because I think no, I'm not going to look it up. You guys can tell me. I'm pretty sure, but I'm not 100% sure. It's just like hard to believe I feel it. That's the energy I'm picking up from the car, but it might mean something else. But it was like this was meant to be. That's what I'm hearing this person who's coming in this situation that's evolving here that you're already connecting with and it's growing. This is your soulmate. This is this the person that you're they're saying you're meant to be with. Okay. So you've got spider, be meticulous and patient like a spider that some of you might meet on the web on the internet or start speaking on the internet or you have just goes I just keep hearing them be thoughtful before you speak, be conscious and selective and have your words be choice when you're speaking to someone so that you are not tripping over your tongue that you slow it down in the communication with this person speak directly. Okay. And don't I don't know. They're just saying keep it cool. I don't even know what that means. Just keep it cool. That's what I'm hearing be meticulous and patient so be meticulous in your speech and what you say to this person for some reason, be truthful, honest and authentic, but also be patient in listening to what they have to say. Okay. Well, that's a different message. Some of you are reevaluating your career. Also, an emotional wish is being granted. Okay. So that's I feel like those are separate messages for some of you that are looking at your career, making some career changes, reevaluating the career you're in, if you want to stay in it, or if you want to try something different and also whatever your heart has been wishing for, I do feel like this is getting granted. Okay. And this is a love reading. So it could have something to do with that. But whatever's bringing you emotional joy or whatever you were seeking to bring emotional joy, I feel like, you know, that wish is, oh, and you've got new chapter, you're looking back on the past one more time. But you're not keeping your eyes in the rearview mirror as you're driving forward. That's for sure. You're being advised to travel, explore the world, you know, learn, meet new people, live your best life and allow the past to cycle out because there's a new journey coming ahead here. Okay. You can take someone with you on this new journey, or you can go solo, but either way, you're being inspired and advised to just get moving on this new start. Okay. You've got fresh hope in front of you showing up here. You're being asked to take a chance. You've got a new path. And there's new beginnings happening here. And I know a lot of you, I said that that stuff was going to happen in September, but we were also have been looking at the 16th and also the 30th. So some things are, you know, like I said, the next four months is going to have a hell of a lot of growth and change in your love lives and just in your lives in general.   Either way, you're moving forward. Either way, Virgo, I see you're moving forward. Okay. I know we're getting some like thunderstorms and tornadoes and hail and all that stuff is coming. So I'm going to get this reading finished and uploaded for the power close out because it usually does. Okay. So let's, since I said that, I'm not going to pull any more cards.  All right. So we've got Scorpio on the table, birth dates, the 9th, the 7th, the 4th and the 1st. Okay. The 20th, we've got Libra. Okay. We've got Aquarius. Somebody's born in 72. Somebody 420. It's a very special day for someone. We also have 1971. Somebody is 42. Somebody was born in 63 or is 63. Okay. We also have Taurus for some of you. They're also giving me Scorpio, Cancer, Aries, Gemini and Pisces. Okay.  Let me just get a couple of charms. Wow. You guys keep getting that Eiffel Tower. I mean, that's insane. We've got a parrot. Parrot on a perch. Okay. Someone's from France or speaks French. Okay. Somebody's going to be seeing the dolphins that live somewhere where there's dolphins. Also see somebody playing tennis together, like a tennis game together.  So some of you are going to be playing. I'm seeing dates that are like game kind of dates, not. So somebody goes on a date like either they go. I'm seeing like a miniature golf course or they go to the beach and play volleyball or maybe an arcade or some video games or just like game dates. If that makes any sense. Fun, competitive, sporty kind of dates, that kind of stuff. Also, there's a strong energy here with, you know, mammals, dolphins, sea creatures, the beach that might resonate for someone or the boat or being in water or near water or something along. That's just going to be very significant going forward or it is right now for you. OK, I don't know what the deal is with this parrot. I'm hearing you'll know. OK, they're saying you'll know that this person that you connect with somebody's 38. You'll know that this person that you connect with. And now they're telling me September 10th. They will mimic you. And it's a compliment. So if you need to put this person to the test to find out if that's them, if you're sitting across from them and you're having dinner or something, if you're looking directly at them, look away from them and make it look as if you're looking behind them to look at somebody or a clock. And if their head turns to see what you're looking at, that's your sign. I don't because I just saw that. So I don't know, you know, they're just saying, I don't I can never make excuses or anything for the messages I get. I'm just hearing that's how you know that this is your person because I'm just feeling mimicry. Is that the word mimicry? They they either they they they start talking like you or they repeat words that you say or they use certain slang or terms or words that you say. It's like it's complimentary. It just means that this person is in tune with you. They're staying on top of that. They're tuning into you. No, it's not love bombing. No, it's not narcissism. And even if it is, it's too early to tell. But don't be afraid by that because that's a natural phenomenon that happens between people.   OK, I really like I have to say, I mean, I get the whole fear thing of but there's so much and I'm not seeing that that condition isn't there. I think there's a high narcissistic traits in people these days and it's getting worse over time. But true, diagnosed malignant narcissism is very, I don't want to say it's rare, but it's very difficult to diagnose because, you know, those people don't tend to go into counseling because I don't think there's anything wrong with them unless they're like they're serial killer that's been caught, you know, are in jail and they're forced to be diagnosed.  I don't think that it's really as prevalent as we think. I just think we've got a lot of there's a lot of people who are spiritually disordered. That's really what I think and I don't really feel like the next date you go on if you're with someone who was, you know, if you were truly like locked up in a basement, I'm not devaluing the way you felt in a certain relationship. But if you really felt like that's what you were dealing with and then that's what you were dealing with. And you really need to get like some supplement healing with that.    Were they malignant? Maybe, maybe not. But at the end of the day, when you're secure and protecting yourself, you really just cannot be sucked into anything you don't want to be sucked into, right? I know this is controversial. I probably wind up removing this aspect from the reading. But if I don't, that's still what I said.  It's my channel, go make your own. All right, you guys.
