It is our final day of asking what happened to the one who got away.

We are looking at that question from every angle with the help of a very particular deck of cards. I'm Sarah window.

I'm Alicia. Right. Welcome to lovestruck daily, where we bring a love story to your ears every single day. I'm in love with love with you.

We are talking all about the one who got away and we're using Taro.

Yes. Today we're using Tarot. I'm very excited about this. For one because well, you do a digital Tarot reading everyday, right? I

do. I do. I have a digital astrology app. I have a digital Tarot app that I use through a Discord server. And it's interesting because it's a random digital draw, right? Like, and it's it's gorgeous, because I can pick random decks. And so every day I get a different piece of art that I get to look at and be like, Wow, this is gorgeous. It's nice, but often there's part of whatever message whatever narrative comes up. There's a part of it where I'm like, oh, yeah, I didn't need to hear that. Okay, cool. That's that's really nice. I've

only I've had one Tarot reading and it was by accident. Yeah, I was in my favourite tea shop in DC. It's called calabash. I love that place.

Oh, you have told me about Galavan. Yeah, it is very

magical. It was it was way more magical. I mean, it's a lovely place with great teas. But before the pandemic, in the glory days, you know, it had all these plush couches. And you could sit and linger for like hours and just keep ordering food and drinks. And every like Tuesday of like, every other month or something, there would be a terror group reading, like this terror group would come in, and they just like chat with each other. So one day this guy came in and he sat like near me. And he just leaned over and he's like, Hey, do you want me to do your reading, I'm just waiting for the rest of my group to arrive. And I'm just practising and I was like, Ah, sure. So he did my reading. And it was actually really wonderful. Like, he was a wonderful man. And he was very warm, older and and he basically just told me like, I was in a really like, sad place at the time. And he was just like, it's gonna get better, it's gonna be great. And of course, I was like, tell me about my love life. And he's like, you're gonna meet this wonderful person, and they're gonna be your best friend. And now like every now and again, I think about that man, like six years ago. I think he's right. He can he nailed this one on the head. So I That's my only brush with Taro. I don't really know much about it. But I am open to learning.

One of the things I love about tarot and divination, and all of these sort of narrative forms of connection with people is that it's all based in the idea of asking yourself, what do you want? But with the divination, you're getting sort of a hint. Because it's hard to ask yourself what you want. It's hard to say, Okay, what do I want to do? Where do I want to be in this much time? What am I working for? Why am I doing this? What do I want? And having clues, almost like a breadcrumb trail? To help you see, oh, does this resonate with me or not? is a way of identifying, okay, what do I want? And everyone's wants are different. And we're under so much pressure to do what people think we should do. But asking yourself is very hard. And this week, we are answering the question for each guest, who has someone who got away, someone they've always been curious about. And today we have two wonderful guests. Joining us to answer that question. First, Lizzie Mae, who has always wondered about their best friend who they fell in love with and to help Lizzy out. We've invited Sarah Potter onto the show. Any show with additional Sarah's is excellent. Sarah Potter is a professional witch, tarot reader and practitioner of colour magic. We're going to talk to Sarah more about what colour magic is. And we're going to find out how much Sarah loves sharing the magic of colour and Tarot with 1000s of clients over the years to promote self empowerment. Yes, please welcome Lizzy and Sara.

Thank you both so much for joining us. We're really excited for this. So Sarah, can you tell us a little bit about what you do and how you got into it?

So my name is Sarah Potter and I am a witch based in New York City. I found taro when I was 12 years old, because honestly like Terrell witchcraft is same time, I wanted to know who had a crush on me and what to do about it.

Obviously,

obvious. Yeah.

Does it ever change? I don't think so.

This isn't your via that you're a practitioner of colour magic. What is colour magic? Exactly? Because I don't think I've heard that term before.

No, I haven't either. And I wanted you to ask that question. Yeah.

I'm so thrilled to tell you. So, colour magic is playing with the energy of every colour of the rainbow because colour holds right and holds an emotional response and helps us enhance our intentions are manifestations. And what I love about the magic of colour is, you know, all of these modalities are so fantastic. We're tapping into the same energy, just taking different channels and different pathways. But what I love about colour is we're all working in that frequency. We all have a favourite colour, we all have the colours that were repelled by. And it's something we're like, you know, I love crystals. I love Taro, I love astrology. But it takes a lot of of study and the magic of colour does too. But what I love about this frequency is we all understand the concept of colour innately we've grown up with colour, we're picking out what to wear every day, how to adorn ourselves, our homes, we know how colours make us feel. And that's the first step of invoking its magic. Once we dive deeper, we understand more about each colour and how to use it intentionally. And that's something that I love to do in my own practice and to welcome my clients into this frequency as well.

That's so cool. Yeah, that's amazing. Lizzie, why don't you tell us your story about the person who got away?

mindset. I think my story is a little sad. But I was recently divorced. And in that process, there was a close friend that I had developed, like really deep and intimate feelings for that I just completely lost in the whole divorce process. And I think for me, my Leos and Venus. So there's a little bit of like, the line between platonic and romantic is not always or ever clear. For me, there's so much like, you know, let's just fertile space in there. humpbacked is very much does feel like the one that got away because it's like, that was tragic, like I lost this person as a friends, you know, potential lover, but everything like it felt very painful. It's still something that I feel like now I'm in the process of trying to like, reopen my heart through that grief. Are you?

Are you wondering anything specific about them? Do you think about what they're doing? Or what they're up to?

No, not really. I mean, it was so like, painful. And I feel like unnecessary that it's not like I really want this person back. But I do want to open my heart again. You know, I do want to move through that pain.

Yeah, it's sometimes closure is like the most desirable thing out of everything. Why are you interested in consulting an astrologer about this situation, or someone who can help?

I'm really curious about my Venus placement. And because this is this is a pattern for me of having these like deep, intense, wild friendships that then veer into romantic love for me. I feel very curious about that. And I mean, I just really enjoy alternative modalities, healing modalities, I find so much wisdom in many people that practice these kinds of traditions and like often unexpected wisdom. There's not like, my advice when I went through the same thing, but it feels like it's coming through the backdoor, and therefore it can speak to the parts of myself that I'm

like, even less aware of what a great way to describe that.

Yeah. Have you have you ever had your Tarot read? Oh, yeah,

I constantly. Oh, god. swinley Oh, wow.

Well, you're in luck. Because we have Sarah here.

What I really love about Taro is I feel like we all can get so stuck in our heads. And I feel like Lucy, you mentioned that you recognise this as a pattern. And Taro can help us see another perspective, see another side situation of ourselves so we can see maybe something you've been missing or a little cosmic advice that can come through to support you because I mean, divorce is so painful. I don't, I don't need to tell you that. And I feel like situations like divorce can become even more challenging when the people that we seek to for support around us, some of them can't stay, and it sounds like so it's like, not just we're grieving the loss of the marriage. We're grieving the loss of the support system that was showing up in many different ways through many different people. So I feel like this is the perfect opportunity to consult the cards. Look for a little wisdom I'm see something that you may have missed about the situation or about yourself, because I feel like no matter what's going on, there's always something to remain inspired, hopeful and optimistic for because we need to feel the feelings in order to release them, let them go. And move forward. Right?

That's wonderful. So much compassion.

And I don't I don't want to waste a single minute. So why don't we Why don't we go ahead and we'll, we'll do our reading because I'm so excited to see what comes up.

Me too. Okay, so Lizzie, I have a couple ideas in mind. But I want to ask you, what's your question? Like, how can I be supportive? And, and help you through this moment?

I feel like I want to know like, How can I release and open up?

That is a beautiful question. Because I think the best questions are centred on you. The quieren.

may ask what deck you have.

You may so I use the Miss Cleo data. I love the psychic.

I did not know Miss Cleo had a tarot deck, my day is entirely made everyone can go back to bed. That's amazing.

That's so cool.

Miss, so I feel like growing up as a psychic child. I didn't have a lot of icons that I felt like we're doing something that I dreamed of. And I loved Miss kleos ads on TV. And this deck came out around 2000 And it actually came out with a VHS tape. Oh, of course it did. I Miss Cleo teaches you Oh wow. To read the cards.

Did you watch the tape?

No. So I don't own the tape. But friends will find the tape in various places and a VCR and always send me a little clip. It's very sweet. That's amazing. Okay, we're gonna ask the cards how Lizzie can relieve

this relationship and move. Fine. Oh, this is good. This is good. Okay, I gotta tell you, Lizzie, it's gonna get better. Okay, I promise.

We'll be back after this short break.

But the first thing before we move forward, let's acknowledge where we are right now. It's pretty rough, right? We're starting with the 10 of swords. And so this card, it's a pretty powerful card, the 10 of swords. 10s are always the ending. And the 10 of Swords is like it's pretty bad. But what I love about this card it makes me think about my mom says it's always darkest before the dawn. So it's pretty difficult, but the sun will rise again. It will get easier it will get better with the passing of time. But the best thing you can do right now is feel every feeling free of judgement. This is just a reminder to grieve the loss. To feel it feelings aren't logical. They're just feelings. Feel them, it is getting easier. And I do feel like the sun is just beginning to rise, you're starting to see the little sparkles of the rays that there is a better tomorrow coming. Next up we have the queen of swords. Oh, wow. And this queen did arrive reversed. And what I love about the queen of swords, is I feel like her energy comes through to remind us to honour our boundaries to honour our limits. So what I feel like to especially earlier in the conversation when Sarah and Alicia were asking you about this person who like do you think about them? Do you want to know what they're up to? And you're like not really, that I love that I feel like that is Queen of Swords energy because it really isn't about this person. This is about you your experience and what you're going through. And I think I feel like the queen of swords reminds us to honour our boundaries for our own self care. So I feel like anything that you need to feel your best. This could also be saying no to opportunities, invitations, if you need more time for yourself for your own self care, whatever limits you need. So I pulled five cards and in the middle we have the one and only appearance of the major arcana card. And the Major Arcana shows us the big moments, big lessons. This is what you need to hear. And it is a biggie it's the death card. So to me, this is all about like yes, it's an ending but it's also a transition and it's a transformation for you and I I feel like when we have these people who come into our lives, who feel like that the one that got away, I think they just they mirror, what we're looking for in someone. So I would think about, what did you learn from this person's presence in your life? Perhaps they showed you something that was even missing in your relationship.

I feel like very deeply moved. And I think particularly by the death card that's so profound to me. And actually, my grandfather passed away last week. And so I'm Oh, no, yeah. And so I went to his funeral. And it was pretty like it felt you know, the death felt very fresh and open. And then it was like being around the family, it felt fresh and open. And then we got to see the casket lowered into the earth. And at that moment, I felt this like profound somatic settling, like, all through my body where I was like, it's done, it's done, return to the earth. And like, when you pull that card, I just saw the same thing.

Yes. Oh, that's so powerful. I'm sorry, for the loss of your grandfather. It is such a powerful card. And I love that how you embrace it, because there's nothing to be afraid of, I feel like, to me, it's the closure you've been looking for and wanting it's here. And to know, again, I want to bring you back to that queen of swords energy, something that you that's really necessary for you and for your heart to feel safe, supported and seen in a relationship, bring in these concepts. And this is something where I feel like any pain can be a valuable lesson. It doesn't make the pain easier. But I think that the lessons we learn so that we know moving forward, we're not going to be there again, because it's been highlighted, it's been illuminated. And now we can bring it in, we can honour the ending, and say, You know what that was missing, I'm going to transform this into something far better, so that I can enjoy my life more, because we do have the nine of coins showing up after all of these biggies. These challenging cards, the nine of coins shows up and is like, there's so much to enjoy in life. This is all about the pleasure of our free time and doing what we wish and what we desire. And to me, this feels like for you. Being with those people, too, it's like, I feel like enjoying your own free time spend yet however you want, but with the people you want to. And what I'm even curious about is it feels like to be like this person that we're talking about, you had a lot in common. And I feel like your values are similar the way you like to spend your time and your energy with similar. And I'm curious if in past relationships, if that's been kind of a little bit of a myth. And thinking about that moving forward, what you're looking for in someone else really honouring not just what you need in relationships, but how you want to spend, not just the, the the challenging times but like the fun, pleasurable good times together so that we're on the same page. And I gotta tell you, I don't know if you're there yet. But I do think like, I think the new relationship is like, around the corner where you're like, I do think someone new is coming, because I gotta tell you, a lot of swords came through. And like because the next card we have is the knight of swords. And what I kind of like about the night is the night goes running into the next thing. So to me, like, even though there's been like a lot of lessons, there's been pain, a whirlwind of emotions, it's not keeping you from falling in love and connecting with someone else again. And so to me, it's like, let your heart open. All of these swords also reminds me that love isn't logical. It's a, it's a feeling. It's an emotion, but the wisdom and experience you've had, it can temper that ability to just run wildly or blindly into the next thing. You're running into the next relationship with your eyes wide open through this experience. Does that make sense? And did I answer your question?

Yeah, that was so beautiful, particularly the death card. And what you said about integration like it's the integration like folding back into the earth like folding what that person meant to me into my own body, like incorporating it that feels so real to me and so true. Like there was so much that I admired that now, if I really ask the question, like, can I see that in myself? Can I be that it's like yes, like I've changed so much. You know, this has been such a transformative journey. And seeing that as a gift rather than as exclusively pain is also or like feeling proud of myself, you know, like, Okay, I admire these things about this person. Now I am those things like that's beautiful.

Yes, yes, exactly. I love that.

Sarah, in your experience. Have you seen taro lead people to love? Like, do you think that that's possible? Or is it like you said, like, you know, maybe after you have a reading, you're a little more open to possibilities.

I think it's both I absolutely I, I witnessed how Terrell leads to love. Constantly through this work through my own experiences. I feel like sometimes we just need a little cosmic push. And Taro can help us do just that. Oh, that's lovely.

Well, thank you. Thank you both so much for coming on. I hope this was a healing process. And also a fun process. It was it was really fun and healing, I think for both of us. So we really enjoyed it. And we enjoyed both of us. So thank you.

Sara,

always always a good time when we have double Sarah's I have to say

that was the most compassionate and kind Sarah, I am in awe of this era. Well,

I have an almost Sara's at least the ones on the show. So it was great. What is your love to go for this episode?

Well, this, this quote came to mind while I was listening, and it's been attributed to Seneca and it's also been attributed to semi Sonic. So take your pick. But every new beginning comes from some other beginnings. And

oh, that's such a love. I love that song. That was when I was in high school and I used to play it on repeat. And great advice.

And if you really look at the lyrics, it's it's very deep. Oh, it's like poetry. Yeah, it's a very deep song. And it's about how we are continuously evolving and things come to an end and that's okay.

Yeah, it is hard sometimes to remember that. That is okay. It's tough to let things go. But, you know, sometimes people are there for a reason or a season sometimes you know, and you gotta it's true. You got to figure it out which one it is, but I have feared my life for a long time,

too. It's been a while. I don't feel like going anywhere. Okay, good. Do you have someone that got away? Do you really like closing time by sending me Sonic? We want to hear about it.
