It wasn't what I was going to write at all, it surprised me rather. x

I feel sad that you don’t feel you have success just now. I guess it depends on how you view success and if you feel gratitude for what you have.

I’m in a similar place. I didn’t enjoy much of the summer and I’m not enjoying autumn. I have a warm home, I have great friends, I have work already planned for next year but now - today - I don’t have the feeling of success that I yearn for.

I’m looking for mine.

I hope you find yours.

I think there are different levels of success and in some areas of my life I count myself as being very successful, so it's not all doom, but there were other areas where I realised I was holding myself back. I'm so sorry that you've been having a rough time of things. xx

This is so beautiful, and so wise. And HOO BOY - when you’re feeling fully Major, I cannot wait to witness you blazing your sparkling trail. You have so much power and I think you are going to use it so very well. X

I used to be afraid of going up in flames, but not anymore. Thank you for your part in helping me see things differently. xx

Apparently I both needed to read this and to have a good cry about the bits that resonated so hard they hurt. Thank you x

Well. First of all I basically know nothing about tarot but it has been coming up for me over and over this year so I figured it was time to learn and I literally made an offer on a tarot set on Vinted this very morning.

Also - “I realised I was more afraid of success than I was of failure. Every time I got near the possibility of succeeding I self-sabotaged.” This is also me. Years ago in a coaching session (with Suzy Walker, also on Substack) I was asked to visualise getting everything I wanted and I had to end the call and run to the loo 🥴

What a lovely way to look at the general symbolism/energy of major vs. minor. I’m glad you’re unlocking your magic :)
