The Cosmic Rebellion of Moving Bodies: How Your Inner Child Smashes the Family Addiction Matrix
Why Sit on a Throne When You Can Roll Down a Hill? Escaping the Legacy of Overachievement One Ridiculous Dance Move at a Time
The cards lay before us like cosmic breadcrumbs scattered across the hero's journey gone sideways: Page to King to... chocolate cake demon in heels? (The universe has a sense of humor, even if our ancestors didn't.)
The Family Inheritance We Never Asked For
Let's talk about that family inheritance that nobody mentioned in the will reading - the one that runs through the masculine lineage, programming our ambitious little souls like tiny computers destined to chase the wrong stars. The Page of Wands, innocent and wide-eyed, becomes the King of Swords who sits upon his barbecue throne, only to transform into The Devil - which in this case isn't even dignified enough to be a proper horned beast, but rather a confection-headed temptress surrounded by the very substances that chain us.
We've all been baked into addiction cakes by the heat of our own ambition.
This is the story written in our cells, handed down through generations of men who taught us that ambition was the sword we should live and die by. But here's the cosmic joke - that sword eventually cuts us from our own bodies, leaving us floating as just a head attached to compulsions.
Physical Liberation: When Movement Breaks the Spell
The genius of addiction is that it keeps us perfectly still while convincing us we're moving. We're just hamsters on wheels, spinning faster and faster while remaining in the exact same spot in the cosmos.
But here's where the magic happens - physical movement, actual, literal, body-in-space movement, disrupts the spell.
When we allow our bodies to move as our inner child would move - unpredictable, spontaneous, without concern for how it looks - we're essentially performing an exorcism on that Devil card. The physical action becomes the spell-breaker, the pattern-interrupter, the cosmic reboot.
Think about it - have you ever seen a child addicted to work? To achievement? To the next rung on some imaginary ladder? Of course not. They're too busy rolling down hills and spinning until they fall over, laughing.
The Sacred Practice of Ridiculous Movement
So here's the prescription from the cosmic doctor - move your body in ways that would make your ancestors confused and your inner child delighted.
Dance wildly in your kitchen. Roll on the floor. Skip down the street. Crawl under your desk. Swing your arms like you're conducting an invisible orchestra of woodland creatures.
Each ridiculous movement is a tiny rebellion against the King of Swords who sits so properly on his throne. Each spontaneous physical expression is a declaration to the universe - "I am not just an ambition machine. I am not my family's programming. I am alive in this sacred vessel called a body."
The addiction energy - especially around work, around doing, around becoming - needs somewhere to go. Movement gives it an escape hatch.
From Devil's Cake to Divine Child
The progression isn't Page to King to Devil and then... game over. The story continues. The Devil, when challenged through physical liberation, transforms again. The cake head crumbles, the heels kick off, and what emerges is neither Page nor King but something altogether more authentic - the Divine Child who knows how to play in the world without being consumed by it.
This isn't regression. It's transcendence. It's breaking the addiction loop by remembering that your body is not just transportation for your ambitious head - it's the very temple where your soul dances.
So today, let your body lead. Let it move as it wishes. Let your inner child take the reins of this flesh chariot and ride it not toward ambition's altar but toward freedom's wide-open field.
And watch as the Devil card in your cosmic spread begins to dissolve, revealing that it was always just a costume worn by a child who forgot how to play.
I went bowling with my mom today. And I did I ever shimmy when I knocked down those pins and told them to stay down! I'd like to think that counts as a form of transcen-dance. 💃🏼✨
This is such a clever interpretation of the Devil card, Dea! Devil's food cake! Temptation and treachery all rolled into one. And yes to the moving and being more child-like! I like thinking of this as a spell to break free from the Devil's chains. Thank you!
