IS THIS REALLY LOVE… OR IS IT JUST ** FAMILIAR **

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Hey beautiful people. Welcome or welcome back. I'm Josie with Awaken Soul and we're here for a reading about the person on your mind and the connection you share with each other. So happy you're here and I hope you're having a beautiful day or night whenever you're joining us. In today's reading, we are going to be chatting about whatever you need to know most about this connection, yourself, and your person at this time.

[00:00:28]This is a timeless reading, so I set the intention it would find you when it's meant to, whether you're here during the live stream premiere or months down the line. I trust you're here when you're meant to be. And as always, take what resonates, leave behind what does not.

[00:00:44]We're going to get started with the oracle cards that I have laid out for us first and then after that, we will dive deeper into the messages using the tarot as well as channeled messages from your person to you, what they would say to you honestly from their heart space right now if they felt like they could be totally transparent and honest. We'll also get out tiles, charms, and astrology dice. That will be for extra info and confirmation. And then we'll close today's reading out with a message from universe just for you at the very end to help bring the focus, energy, and attention back on yourself again. So, without further delay, let's get into it, you guys.

[00:01:26]We have love, comfort, cleanse, and caution.

[00:01:30]We also have number 38, face your fear, number 41, unknown gift, and number 27, shake, release, heal, move on.

[00:01:41]The empty room, the poet, the mountain, and the ocean. So, I'm seeing a lot of bird imagery coming through here. You may receive signs or information via birds, maybe more specifically blackbirds, ravens, crows, corvids um because I'm seeing that come through quite a bit. There's some sort of songbird here as well. I don't know if this technically has a name or not. It might be a nightingale. Um and to be honest with you, I could cite the book just to see cuz now I'm kind of curious and I'm going to do that while we're talking.

[00:02:16]Um someone in this connection may also have pale blue eyes um or blue eyes but not like vibrant vibrant blue, um more of like a muted blue and that could be confirmation for you.

[00:02:29]Um and hold on one second.

[00:02:32]It is the nightingale.

[00:02:34]I knew it. I just had to confirm it, okay?

[00:02:37]Um but yes, a nightingale, crows, ravens, corvids might be signs for you as well at this time. Anyway, um today's message is going to be an important one and a strong one, you guys. And I'm just going to get straight to the point. Um I think the person that we're talking about for you you're very comfortable in this connection but not because it feels right 100% of the time necessarily but because your ego says it's familiar and comfortable. AKA, I think maybe you have some sort of wound bonding with this person. Like they're triggering past relationships up from your past. It reminds you of connections you've had before. It's like a repeating cycle essentially. I'm seeing karmic wounds here with this person. So you love them, you're comfortable but not in like a wholesome, unconditional type of way.

[00:03:32]It's in a triggering way.

[00:03:34]And universe is saying you got to heal that part of you. Like if you're accepting behaviors you don't want to because it feels normal or it feels right to do so, you need to take caution with that. This might be the type of connection you need to shake and and heal. Shake release, heal, move on from.

[00:03:54]And I'm not here to tell you what to do.

[00:03:56]You should never ever ever make decisions based on any tarot reading.

[00:04:00]This is your life. You need to use your discernment.

[00:04:04]And you know, get the support you need, of course.

[00:04:08]But from what I'm seeing with the cards, we're talking about a connection that is not necessarily serving your higher good right now. It just feels familiar to your ego. And unfortunately, the ego does like to stick with what does feel familiar, whether that familiarity is serving our highest good or not.

[00:04:26]It tends to stick with what feels normal because change is scary to the ego.

[00:04:31]Being in a safe, secure, comfortable, happy, harmonious connection might feel scary to the ego if they got used to toxic or turbulent relationships and connections. I'm feeling spontaneously like I need to like sage the space right now, you guys. So, I'm doing that and I don't know why. I just kind of started doing it and going for it.

[00:04:53]This is just a little bit of sage. I don't want to do like the whole shebang, spiel thing right now, but I just felt like I needed to clear the energy a little bit. But anyway, you're being asked to go within and maybe clear your space, get creative, go within, do a deep dive and do some soul searching. Face your fear.

[00:05:13]Maybe you're nervous to move on from this person. Maybe your gut is telling you you should or you want to. Maybe you know it's not serving your highest good, but you're sticking around anyway cuz you're comfortable. It feels familiar.

[00:05:25]Whatever reasons you're giving, but you know deep down inside, someone else out there would fit you in a better way. You'd mesh more with them. It would uplift you more than this person or this connection does. So, I don't know. That's up to you. At the end of the day, this is your decision to make, but it seems to me universe is giving you a warning like, you know, make sure you're making decisions that are for your highest good. If you're sticking around just because this connection feels familiar to you or comfortable, but you know that it's ultimately not in your highest good, you might want to re-evaluate things here, okay?

[00:06:02]So, with that being said, let's get into the tarot and take it from there, you guys.

[00:06:09]You're really being asked to go within right now.

[00:06:12]I'm a huge supporter of therapy, counseling, and doing inner work on this channel. Um maybe that's something that would be of interest to you. You know, get an outside perspective, talk about your feelings, do some soul searching, do your inner work. Um shadow work with the moon here. There might be hidden fears, wounds, and insecurities that are, you know, drawing you back into connections like this that you're not consciously aware of. It might be a time to take some space to yourself to really think about that, and also evaluate what you're looking for in a partnership, and see how this connection matches up with that or doesn't match up with that. Um you know, making a list of your non-negotiables, making a list of what you are looking for in a partner or partnership um can help you maybe clear your head a little bit. That's one thing that I did um in my single days, you know, was make a list of what I was looking for in a partner, in a partnership, and what I was most definitely not looking for. Um it might be important for you to do some inner work and some soul searching right now to see what's going on inside, cuz I feel like you're drawn to this person right now, um but it's from a place of being comfortable and familiar with the situation, not because you are genuinely feeling fulfilled in the situation, and it's genuinely adding more good to your life. It's just like you're sticking around because you're familiar with that. At least that's what I'm getting out of today's reading. If it doesn't resonate, you definitely don't have to stick around for this reading. So, the Hermit, the Page of Cups, the Moon, the Ace of Pentacles, the Four of Swords, and the Ace of Cups. The Eight of Cups, excuse me. That is hilarious, and I'm going to circle back to what just happened there.

[00:07:59]We have Virgo, Cancer, and Pisces energy coming through.

[00:08:04]I love how it's the Eight of Cups, and I said the Ace of Cups.

[00:08:09]You might need to walk away from this connection to find your new Ace of Cups.

[00:08:13]Like, I got to be so straight up with you guys. The Eight of Cups can be a somber energy sometimes, but also such a beautiful one. Because when we're in the energy of the Eight of Cups, we're walking away from someone or something. Could be a mindset, belief, habit, or pattern.

[00:08:30]But, we're not just walking away because we're sad about it. We're walking away because we know we can do better.

[00:08:37]Because we can find something new. And we might not know what that new thing is, but we know that it's out there somewhere, and we're willing to walk away and take that risk if it means finding that new energy that is in alignment with us. Um so, again, I'm not telling you what to do here, but there's something or someone maybe you should consider walking away from so you can bring in that new energy, that Ace of Cups energy.

[00:09:02]A love that truly does feel fulfilling, and it could also be self-love, to be honest with you. But, you're being called to go within.

[00:09:09]Okay? Listen to what your emotions are trying to tell you. Do your healing.

[00:09:14]Take some space and breathe for a while.

[00:09:17]Um they wanted me to say, especially for the type of person that jumps from relationship to relationship to relationship without taking any time in between to do your soul searching and healing, maybe taking a pause for a while would be advisable. Um and again, that's not me telling you what to do.

[00:09:34]This is your life. You do you.

[00:09:36]But, personally for me, I think that that's important, and that's my opinion, to give yourself some time and space in between relationships, so you can really honestly evaluate what happened, what you could do differently next time, what's going on with you, what you want, what you don't want. Um take that time to actually heal and absorb information and lessons before you just jump straight into the next situation.

[00:10:02]Um so, that's what I'm seeing there.

[00:10:06]We are going to go ahead and get out tiles, charms, and astrology dice next.

[00:10:11]Then, after that, we'll get channeled messages from this person to you, what they would say from their heart space if they could be completely honest at this time.

[00:10:20]Um this gets noisy, so if that's going to bother you, make sure you turn your volume down for a minute.

[00:10:27]We have Aquarius, Uranus, and Jupiter.

[00:10:32]Virgo, moon, and Neptune.

[00:10:37]Taurus, moon, and Venus.

[00:10:42]Virgo, sun, and Mercury. Okay? And then, let's get out some charms and letters.

[00:10:57]Interesting. Hold on, they want me to talk about the flamingo first. We have an S over here.

[00:11:03]Is that like a It's a very pale pink. Like, almost like a white flamingo. And in case you don't know, flamingos basically are born like whitish gray, I believe, and they get their pink color over time from eating their shrimp in their food that colors their feathers from the inside out, essentially. I'm not a biology expert, but that's how I conceptualize it, okay?

[00:11:26]And the metaphor for this is essentially like, don't be hard on yourself. Like, you're still growing. You're still on your journey. Who you were when you were born is much different than who you are becoming right now. And I don't just mean literal birth, I mean rebirth.

[00:11:40]Every time you go through a situation, you go through this phoenix energy where you're reborn over and over and over again. So, give yourself a grace period and give yourself patience as you grow and heal and become who you are becoming, okay?

[00:11:55]We have U T Q V A Utah and Virginia.

[00:12:01]Could be states. L Somebody's name could be Valerie or Val.

[00:12:06]I I H D That's a blank. S G and W. So, take all the time that you need here. You can fill in the blank with whatever letter you want if you want to.

[00:12:25]We're going to get messages out now.

[00:12:27]Okay?

[00:12:33]All righty then.

[00:12:34]>> [singing] >> This is from your person to you. This person whatever they would say if they felt like they could be completely open and honest at this time.

[00:12:46]This love [snorts] scares me. Yeah, they're intimidated by this connection.

[00:12:53]I thought about you today.

[00:12:58]Oh my. Hold on.

[00:13:06]We got a few fall to the floor. That was what was on the top of that face up. I'm trying to stabilize my life right now.

[00:13:15]And I do think that's the truth.

[00:13:17]I'm feeling called to say that that that is truthful coming from them. Um they're healing as well. Like, your person isn't some perfect person to put on a pedestal. Um I feel like there were a lot of peas in that sentence.

[00:13:30]Um, they're also healing. They're trying to stabilize their life. They're going through their own personal journey as well. And you know, you guys, how divine timing works.

[00:13:40]Um, if a connection is truly meant to be, you can't mess it up. Like even if you walk away for a period of time, if it's meant to be, you'll circle back around to each other again, okay?

[00:13:52]Um, it could be that this is like a right person wrong time situation for the two of you. That's also a possibility. Maybe you came into each other's lives, some wounds got triggered, some things went down, um, and it's time to heal for a while separately, and then maybe one day you will come back together if you choose to walk that path. And again, I'm not here to tell you what to do in this situation. That's up to you. I'm just reminding you, if you do choose to walk away, or if they choose to walk away, and this connection is truly fate, and something that's meant to be, it will circle back around again, and you can trust that.

[00:14:33]>> [clears throat] >> Okay?

[00:14:35]We also have, I'm so determined, who cares what they think, I've been waiting for you all my life, and I'm tired of listening to what everybody else has to say about us, and then I just lost it, you guys, but this popped up as I was reading this. Other people are influencing our connection.

[00:14:53]Boom, this whole little triangle right here. There might be third parties involved here. In this case, I don't really even think that it's like romantic third parties. I don't see any cheating or infidelity going on here.

[00:15:05]There could be friends or family members, co-workers, exes, people who are either present in the connection right now, or past experiences that are influencing your connection to each other. It could even be past relationships that definitely aren't in the picture, but one or both of you are still struggling with wounds you haven't healed, and that's interfering with your present-day connection, you know? Um this is your person confessing that there's outside influence. They don't want to care about that anymore. They do want to stabilize and heal. They find a lot of value in you, but they're also intimidated. And this is a challenging connection.

[00:15:44]Okay?

[00:15:45]Um and maybe there is gossip going on around you right now. That's a great possibility. Maybe people are trying to drive a wedge between the two of you or creating drama in your connection. Okay?

[00:15:58]I think you will know though. I don't think that will be like a secret to you.

[00:16:03]I think you would be aware of that if that's for you. So.

[00:16:06]Anyway, let's get out a couple of messages just for you now.

[00:16:11]Um this doesn't have to have anything to do with your person or the connection.

[00:16:16]So take it just for yourself. If you need a minute to grab a glass of water, focus your energy back on you. Take all the time you need. Pause if you need more time. Um your first message today is the ostrich. The choice is clear for you now. Follow the wisdom and truth you feel in your heart.

[00:16:35]And your affirmation of the day is I let go of the past. I trust in the future and I accept the present moment.

[00:16:44]This is one of my favorites in this deck. As always, I invite you to affirm it with me and the collective down below if you'd like to in the comments. You can also speak it out loud or do whatever feels right for you personally.

[00:16:58]I'm going to go ahead and pack this reading up and leave it here. I want to thank you so much again for being a part of the channel here today and for being here with us. If this reading resonated, even if it wasn't the happiest, make sure to like and subscribe. That way you won't miss out on future readings. And have a blessed rest of your day or night. Bye for now.
