In this solo tarot and spiritual guidance video, Denae Arias, PhD, opens with a personal anecdote about a chaotic morning to set the tone for an "interesting day" theme. She draws three initial cards—Beloved (radical acceptance), Caterpillar (opportunity), and Benefactor (grace and generosity)—and explains how they reflect the current energetic cycle she has been warning viewers about for months. Arias delves into the concept of the "altered ego" or inner critic, urging listeners to stop blaming themselves as the sole sufferers of self‑judgment and to practice radical acceptance of all parts of themselves, even the disliked ones. She links this acceptance to the Caterpillar’s call for new‑level opportunities that may feel uncomfortable, and to the Benefactor’s reminder to be generous toward one’s own inner dialogue. She then interprets a series of additional cards: Nine of Swords (anxiety and mental over‑thinking), the reversed Hanged Man (stuck perspective needing a different choice), Seven of Cups (illusionary options and decision paralysis), Five of Pentacles reversed (moving away from feelings of unworthiness), Empress energy (leading from the heart) and Nine of Pentacles reversed (scarcity mindset), and Six of Cups (soul‑mate/inner‑child energy and transition). Throughout, she emphasizes that these energies are manifestations of the duality and default programming many people carry, and that re‑programming requires confronting fear, offering apologies to oneself, and releasing resentment. The closing segment reinforces the central message: "Get out of your head, get into your heart," encouraging listeners to accept themselves fully, recognize generous offers, and align thoughts, feelings, and words with that acceptance. Arias offers a call to action for personal readings via her website and promotes her "Narcissistic Playbook" course. Overall, the video blends tarot symbolism with psychological concepts (inner critic, radical acceptance, mindset shifts) to provide viewers with reflective guidance and actionable steps toward emotional alignment.

Hey, hey, hey, beautiful heart! What's vibing today? I hope this video finds you doing well. Let's jump in and see what energetics are at play and what you need to know to help you through your day, um, bring your— bring everything back to you, back to center. So let's see. All right, Spirit, all of you and none of me, show me the cards I need to see. All right, it's been an interesting morning already. You know how I have little weird interesting things that happen. So this morning, um, I woke up early, earlier than normal, um, went downstairs to turn on the coffee. Thought I turned on the coffee. Did not. I'm sitting there waiting for said coffee and realize I turned on the toaster. So good thing is I'm already one cup in before coming back upstairs to do this. So today's gonna be an interesting day. We're gonna make it a good day. All right, starting off with number 2, Beloved, radical acceptance. Number 4, Caterpillar, opportunity. And number 3, Benefactor, grace and generosity. All right, this all makes sense, um, with this energy that we're under. You guys know I've been talking about it consistently for 4 months. Um, that this energy cycle— I've been warning you, buckle up, buttercups. Every day it's going to be an interesting ride. Um, your mindset, your thoughts, and your words, along with your feelings, are going to have a huge impact at this time. So being aware of that is very vital to help you, um, move through. So, Radical Acceptance and Beloved. I'm seeing a lot of people at this time really struggling with this— accepting yourself, all of you, especially the parts you don't like, you don't want to look at, um, and that you will do anything to cover over because you may think or feel that if people really knew this or that about you, or how you felt, or how— what you did or thought, yada yada yada, that they would judge you, you wouldn't be accepted, what have you. Uh, sorry, I just realized I had two decks mixed up. Um, which, that's the altered ego inner critic lie, because guys, here's the thing, it's not just you. Stop letting monkey mind, the inner critic, altered ego sit there and tell you you're the only one. 'You're the one, no one else will believe you, no one else feels this way,' yada yada. That is a huge sign from altered ego that altered ego is running the show. Altered ego is always about the little 'I,' all about itself, whether it's positive or negative, it doesn't care. That's the thing. But every one of us on this journey comes to this point, and it doesn't mean it's a one-time thing. You could, you know, life's a circle, so this could come around a couple of times. Um, goodness, how did I get these decks mixed up anyways? Um, so ask yourself, where are you resisting accepting all of you? Because that's your block right now. So again, accepting all of you isn't saying, okay, this is how I am, I'm never gonna change, I just have to make peace with it. No, this is saying, you know what, those parts of you that you don't like and you want to hide or whatever, they're lovable too, they're valuable too. They need to come out of the shadows, out of the subconscious, bring that into the conscious. Guys, hear me, this doesn't mean you need to run around, announce it on social media, call a friend, None of that. This is about you with you. It's not that you need to go and draw attention to your flaws or this, that, and the other. No, this is literally saying, hey, you know what, there are these parts of me that I do not accept. I am going to accept, honor, and love those free, you know. Yeah, some changes are going to be needing to be made But that's okay, you know, you— they don't have to happen overnight. Caterpillar. I love this card. This is opportunity. So yeah, there are opportunities waiting for you, but here's the thing: these opportunities call for a new level of you. These opportunities can make you feel uncomfortable. A bit apprehensive or scared. Some inner dialogue could come up that you can't do this, blah blah blah. That goes back to radical acceptance because those thoughts are coming in from those unhealed or unlooked at places within you. Number 3, benefactor, grace and generosity. Are you giving this to yourself first? Are you being generous and gracious with that inner dialogue when that inner critic is popping out and just wants to annihilate you? And if not, again, it all goes back to this radical acceptance. Where are you not accepting yourself? And again, accepting yourself doesn't mean that you're stuck that way or that's how it's always going to be. You cannot change anything until you confront it first. So this is literally just saying, you know what, there are these parts of me, the way I think, way I act, respond, whatever, that I don't really like. I haven't wanted to look at. But you know what, I'm on a new path, and I know to begin to live the life of my dreams and manifest from a place of— I don't want to use the word positivity, but manifesting what you want versus what you don't want starts with your radical acceptance, your grace, your generosity in your thoughts and feelings and words towards yourself. Because here we go, look at this, starting off with the Nine of Swords. I'm looking right at you. I see you. I'm holding space for you. This is up all night, anxious, anxiety, worried. Um, this is literally being in your head. May— for me, the different swords, these 9 swords, are 9 different stories. Possibilities, whatever, that will probably never happen, but they could because you've been thinking about them. Um, being stuck and really— uh, this is the Hangman in reverse— not able or willing to see another perspective. Um, for a few of you— this part isn't going to be for everybody— but for a few of you, a lot of these, um, the sword energy is literally coming from those parts of you that you haven't fully accepted, where you don't feel worthy, you don't feel deserving. Um, you know, and internally you may be saying, yeah, I deserve that, or that should be mine, whatever. But yet underneath that dialogue is, yeah, but you know, you really don't know this, or you really can't do this. So there's that mental battle going on. This Hanged Man in Reverse is saying until you make a different choice. Radically accept these new opportunities that are yours. Hear me when I say that what you want wants you. The issue why we go from wanting, and we could be in wanting so long versus having, is literally our own mindset. That's what this is saying. Um, Then we have the Seven of Cups. More opportunities, opportunities. Yes, this could be illusions, delusions. This can definitely be, you know, um, 7 different things that you're creating stories around. Less than positive, more, um more in that resistance or complaining type of mode. Um, if historically when you have too many decisions or options, you shut down or find it difficult to make a choice, know that not making a choice is making a choice. And that's really just kind of saying, you know what, I'm okay with the way things are and the status quo, so I'm just not going to make a decision. Okay, that's fine. You could do that. Um, nobody could— should tell you you're wrong or judge you for that, but just recognize in doing that you will get more of the same experiences, especially if that's what you've always done. Okay, Five of Pentacles in reverse. This is you not feeling left out in the cold anymore. This is you looking at those parts of you that used to align with feeling unworthy, unloved, left out in the cold, second best. Um, yeah, this is just really speaking to the duality energy that you're going back and forth in. Guys, don't catch any feelings around that. Don't beat yourself up. This is the tango of awakening. This is what we do. We straddle the fence. We go up and down with the duality. Why? Because the duality is what we've known. Now you're on a path of questioning everything, learning that there is so much more to life than what you thought and what you were taught. And it's a process to get through that. So there are days that you're gonna really embody this Empress energy feel it, you know, um, lead from a place of heart, not being rocked by things that are going on around you, seeing the bigger picture, holding that vision. I mean, you could start out your morning that way, and then before lunch you could be in the Nine of Pentacles in reverse of, you know, nothing's working, blah blah blah, you know, all of going down that rabbit hole of complaining, resisting, only seeing the issues and the problems. Remember, that is a default programming. You are in the process of reprogramming the default. It takes a little while. You are getting help with the Six of Cups. This is, um, soulmate energy, past life energy, inner child energy. This is, you know, um, there's— this is a time of huge change. We're all feeling it, no matter where you're at on your journey. Um, some of you may still be sitting in the Six of Cups energy, reminiscing and thinking about the past, yearning for the past. Others of you have dealt with that, closed the window on that, and now are calling in new soulmates, new soulmate best friends, coworkers, bosses, jobs. Some of you brothers, new soulmate family. This is about the newness, but really having that courage to go within, radically accept. How do you get courage? You look at your fear, you walk up to it and you go through it and radically accept all of you, because every part of you is worthy of love. It is deserving. Your life comes with a bounty. I know it's not always easy to hear and accept that we all have been actors wearing masks on the stage of our own life. You've entered the time of tearing down that mask and saying, you know what, I have a purpose. I am worthy. I do have things to contribute. I am lovable. It's time to be seen for me. And that's where you're at. That is what this journey and this process is. All right, let's see. All right. Spirit, how are we wrapping this up today? Love, praise, and gratitude, glory and grace. I pour my love, praise, and gratitude. Messages from Spirit. Yep, this whole reading was a message from Spirit. Get out of your head, get into your heart. Accept all of you, because there's a generous offer that has your name on it. This generous offer— what is meant for you will never pass you by. Your responsibility is becoming in alignment with it, and that already starts, as we've talked about, in your thoughts, feelings, and words. Apology. Okay, what I'm getting off of that— some of you need to apologize to yourself for that shitty thinking you've been doing in your head and that inner dialogue. Others of you who are waiting on an apology for somebody, set yourself free. Set yourself free from that with grace. And you know what? Let it go. Give yourself the apology you need and then release it and just say, you know what, I send love and blessings. That right there will change your circumstances. All right, beautiful heart, I hope that helped. Um, if you would like a personal reading from me, you know I will not go into the comments and offer my services. The only way to get on my books or my calendar is to go to my website drdenae.com, um, and book yourself a session.
