- Why are their dead birds in my future?
- Oh, that's definitely your present.
(playful music)
- [Lea] This is Gary.
He's a tarot card reader and energy healer from Brooklyn.
♪ Yeah ♪
- Gary tells me that he's one of only a handful
of black tarot card readers in the country,
many of whom grew up watching Miss Cleo on T.V.
- Call now and try it for free.
- [Lea] And despite the controversy surrounding her,
she inspired a new generation
of black tarot card readers.
So today, my friends and I sat down with Gary,
to have our cards read for the very first time.
- Hi, I'm Lea
and we are doing tarot card readings for the first time.
- Hi, my name is Asia and I'm getting
a tarot card reading done for the very first time.
- What's up, I'm Dumisa.
I'm doing a tarot card reading for the first time with Gary.
- Welcome.
So as this is your first tarot card reading,
I like to give everybody the skinny, off top.
Basically what this is is the energy that is surrounding you
in this very moment in time.
We are going to look at it in past, present, and future.
Looking at what's happening maybe around you in the present.
What may have been going on in the past.
How that can enforce and affect your future right now.
What I need for you to do for me,
please just state your full name three times,
not your full government name, if you don't feel like it.
You can just say your first name,
first name, last name or nickname.
- Dumisa, Dumisa, Dumisa.
- That's scary.
That's like saying that witches name
like three times into the bathroom mirror.
Oh God, okay. - You don't have to
worry about it, it's just so that way
I'm able to tap into your energy and give things for that.
- Okay.
- Okay? - Lea, Lea, Lea.
- Asia.
(laughing)
- Oh.
- Asia.
(laughing)
Asia.
- All right, Heavenly Father, Earth Mother,
who love me unconditionally.
Okay.
Present.
All right, anything else?
We got more.
Ooh, let's see what's coming up.
(laughing)
All right, is that it?
That's it, okay.
Now in the past,
you used to be a little money hungry.
- For sure.
- The fashion, the cars, the gold.
That was your whole steez.
- [Dumisa] I was boring, yeah.
- [Gary] And you have to remember that you let that go.
You let that go and you transitioned to a place
where you're looking at things that,
how does that make you feel
instead of what does it look like on the outside.
- [Dumisa] Okay.
- The dwarves and gnomes are coming up
because they are representative elements,
so they're representative of everything around us,
the ground, the universe, what have you,
how to keep yourself grounded
and you didn't know how to keep yourself grounded before,
it was in the wrong stuff.
- I see, I see.
- Okay, past experience is truly traumatic
but could have been a learning experience or a warning.
A learning experience.
- Definitely.
- So allow it to purport you forward,
instead of taking you backward.
- [Asia] Okay.
- Okay, and allow it to be something that you gain from,
instead of thinking that we lose.
- Yeah, I think in the past I've had a lot of trust issues
and I keep saying that
and as I'm allowing more people into my life
or wanting more people into my life,
it's hard for me to vulni- I'm doing it.
It's just hard.
- I'm so proud of you for saying doing and not trying.
"I'm trying to do it."
That's one of the things that I don't allow,
Like we aint trying, we doin' out here.
So you are doing that and doing the work
and that's all that's been asked of you.
The Guardian Angel card is representative of
that divine feminine energy
like in your maya that is surrounding you
at this very moment in time, it is always surrounding you.
- What's the water pouring mean?
What does that mean?
- So that means that,
obviously you like to pour into others, correct?
- Yes. - You like to share time
pouring into others
and you see that as we are surrounded by all of these.
You've got the earth,
represented in the different clay pots.
You have obviously the ground there,
you've got the sky.
So this is literally the balance of thoughts,
the balance of creation.
So reminding yourself,
that in order for you to stay balanced,
you have to bring that into your life
and then be appointed to others.
Remember you're keeping yourself grounded,
what does that look like everyday?
- I feel like this means,
I was literally pouring glasses of wine
for people last night.
So maybe that's what it is.
- Lets keep it going and keep it rocking.
Oh.
- [Dumisa] Oh man what does this mean?
- That's definitely your present.
So the Six of Fire, is representative
of the people winning the battle.
They're bringing home the woman.
They have succeeded.
Things are going pretty awesome.
So congratulations, you- I don't know,
did you just get into a relationship of some sort?
- I did not.
- What's this reaction?
'Cause this reaction's giving me so much right now.
You're just like, "Oh crap."
- Nah it's cool, you just said bring home the woman,
I'm sure that would make my mom happy
but I don't think of anything in particular.
(laughing)
- So let's go ahead and see what comes up.
- Oshala comes up.
You have the Ace of Fire and you also have Yemanya.
Do you have any Aries or any Leos in your life right now?
- My best friend is a Leo.
- Hm?
- Aries, I feel like I don't get along with Aries,
maybe that's why.
- It's something about them that you can
potentially learn from them, okay?
Or it's something that you can potentially
learn from your best friend.
'Cause does this best friend kind of like charge you up,
hype you up and stuff like that?
- All the time.
- So that's what you need to be making sure
that you're taking in cause its coming to you
and you're just like,
"Uh, I'm not sure,"
like you be questioning yourself.
No, we don't do that around here!
- Okay. - Okay?
So you have to make sure
that you are being that divine feminine energy,
that's what Yemanya is representative of.
She is the divine mother,
she is huge into really sharing that love,
really sharing that passion, that maternal energy.
You have that about yourself.
So if you are not paying attention to that right now,
you need to lean into it.
Also, when's the last time you called your mother?
- Yesterday.
- Okay, how often have you not been
calling your mother recently?
Has it been falling of a little bit?
- [Lea] You know what's crazy?
My mom said yesterday, she's like,
"I haven't spoken to you in two days, what's going on?"
- Call your mom.
How much time do you spend conversing with your family?
How close are you to your family?
- I'm not super close.
I don't spend that much time talking to them.
- And do you have a lot of friends that
are more like family to you?
- Yes, definitely.
- Okay, so this is what I want you to focus on right now.
Whatever you consider family,
'cause when I asked about family,
you went automatically to your blood relatives.
Family is family no matter what it is.
So I want you to focus on,
how do you create family
and what does that make you feel like?
Okay, so let's--
- I was talking about that yesterday.
- See look at that,
and that's why it's represented in the present y'all.
(laughing)
And so let's go ahead and hop into your future,
so this looks very, very gray.
- [Lea] Are those dead birds?
- Those are dead birds.
- Why are there dead birds in my future?
- But I want you to pay attention to the fact
that it's upside down.
So the fact of the matter is the Ten of Air,
when it's right side up means that you've been hunted,
things have been happening in your life
where you're trying to just like,
people are really pushing for your energy,
pushing for your attention
but you've gotten to a place where you've overcome that
and now you are able to live in freedom again,
instead of feeling all that stress from all those people,
'cause guess what, they're not there anymore.
- Wait, wait I have a question.
- Go ahead.
- [Lea] So these dead birds represent people?
- Not necessarily people, peoples energies.
- So bad energies are dead in my future?
- Bingo!
- Ah, okay.
I thought this was demonic.
I was like, "They're so cute."
- Abso--
(laughing)
Now let's see what's coming up for your future.
Okay, 'cause they said,
"Let's go ahead and get this information out,
"before we go to the end."
This one?
No, this one?
Okay.
You're free!
- Oh perfect! - Congratulations!
Now I find this very ironic that it's The Enslaved Prisoner.
So of course when you think of a prisoner,
you think of somebody that is talked badly about,
somebody that is held back
from tapping into their true potential.
- Right.
- This is showing up in reverse,
which means you've broken free of the chains.
- Okay.
- You know what it takes to allow yourself
to be 100% authentic in who you are.
So lean into that, understand it for whatever it is.
So this is really telling you,
you have that fire inside of you,
you knew that in the past.
That's what gets you to a future
of not having to worry about anything.
The only reason why you can allow yourself
to shrink in back up is when you trust your people.
Trust your people,
you allow yourself to never see the village on fire.
So, just lean into that understanding of,
hey, this was the past, this is a new cycle,
I'm a new woman and I can make this work
and I have people that I trust,
that I know will build me up, always.
(enchanted music)
Oh, that's definitely your present.
(enchanted music)
