At every stage of our lives, we find ourselves searching for guidance — something to help us make sense of the world’s chaos and our place within it. Sometimes that guidance comes from the people around us. Sometimes it comes from the quiet corners of our own hearts. And sometimes, it comes in the form of symbols: a dream we can’t shake, an animal crossing our path at just the right moment, or a card drawn from a deck that seems to speak directly to our soul.
I’ve always believed that the stories we tell — and the symbols we live by — shape not only how we see the world but how we move through it. In my most recent reflections on Language of the Soul, I found myself drawn to the powerful connections between ancient systems like Tarot and I Ching, and the personal, intimate ways we make meaning from our lives. There’s something timeless about these tools — not as fortune-telling gimmicks, but as mirrors for our inner landscapes.
What struck me most in these conversations is how easily we overlook the small signs that could serve as our greatest teachers. A fleeting animal encounter, a vivid dream, or even a line from a poem can remind us of what we’ve forgotten about ourselves. They can reconnect us to the parts of our stories we’ve left untold — the ones waiting for us to claim them again.
There’s also a deeper current running through these symbols: the reminder that we are all on a journey, not unlike the Fool in Tarot’s major arcana. We’re all seeking, stumbling, learning, and growing. Whether we’re navigating leadership roles, rethinking our relationship with material abundance, or simply trying to quiet the noise and hear our own wisdom — it’s the stories we embrace that help us stay the course.
I invite you to sit with these ideas, to consider how the symbols and signs in your own life might be nudging you toward reflection, change, or a deeper sense of belonging. What stories are you living? What stories are asking to be told?
If these questions speak to you, I encourage you to listen to the episodes where these themes come alive through rich conversation and shared insight. Together, we explore how Tarot, dreams, and the language of archetypes can help us better understand the narratives that shape our world — and ourselves.
