As the host of the virtual show "IEV TALKS," I welcomed my devoted follower, Rommie, to our online gathering. She was a regular seeker on my virtual platform, and her dedication to the exploration of the unknown had made her a beloved part of our digital community. However, on this particular day, Rommie had a surprise in store.

"Hello, everyone, and welcome to 'IEV TALKS,'" I greeted the virtual audience. "It's wonderful to have Rommie back with us today. And it seems she's brought a friend."

Rommie smiled and nodded, her eyes twinkling with a hint of mystery. "Yes, Infinity, I've brought my dear friend Xian with me. He's a gifted reader, but he has a unique approach. Xian never allows people to pay for his readings, and I believe it's affecting him negatively. I thought it might be helpful for him to receive some insights from you."

My curiosity piqued, I turned my attention to Xian, who was joining us in the virtual space. "Welcome, Xian," I said with a warm digital smile. "It's a pleasure to have you here. Are you open to receiving a reading?"

Xian, appearing slightly unsure but with an open heart, nodded in agreement. I prepared to pull a few virtual tarot cards to unveil the message for Xian. The digital energy of our online audience buzzed with anticipation.

As I drew the cards for Xian, a unique virtual energy seemed to envelop the virtual studio. The cards that emerged were the Nine of Swords and the Page of Wands. This combination held a potent message, and I was eager to share it with Xian.

"The Nine of Swords," I began, addressing both Rommie and Xian, "is often associated with anxiety, worry, and inner turmoil. It signifies a time of stress and restless nights, suggesting that there might be unspoken concerns and unease in your life. It's a reminder that we all face moments of darkness and fear, but it's crucial to confront those fears in order to move forward."

Xian and Rommie listened attentively, virtual expressions mirroring the profound message.

"Now, the Page of Wands," I continued, "is quite the opposite. This card symbolizes new beginnings, creative inspiration, and a sense of adventure. It encourages us to embrace our passions, follow our dreams, and take the first step toward our aspirations."

Xian's eyes seemed to light up as I spoke about the Page of Wands. The virtual uncertainty that had shrouded him at the beginning of the reading seemed to dissipate, replaced by a newfound sense of hope and possibility.

"These two cards together," I elaborated, "seem to suggest that you, Xian, might be going through a challenging phase, as indicated by the Nine of Swords. The reluctance to accept payment for your readings could be causing you stress and inner turmoil, hindering you from fully realizing your potential. However, it's important to understand that this period of inner turmoil can be the catalyst for something beautiful and transformative, represented by the Page of Wands. Embrace your passions, follow your dreams, and consider allowing fair compensation for your gift. This journey can lead to a brighter future, both for you and those you help."

Rommie nodded in agreement, clearly moved by the insight shared through the virtual reading. Xian's gaze lingered on the virtual cards for a moment before he looked up, virtual determination gleaming in his eyes.

"Thank you, Infinity," Xian said, addressing the virtual camera. "Your reading has given me a lot to think about. I've always wanted to help people, which is why I didn't charge for my readings. But I see now that it's causing me more harm than good. I need to find a way to balance my desire to help others with taking care of myself."

As the virtual show continued, we ventured into more readings, and the virtual energy in our digital space brimmed with revelation. Rommie and Xian shared their insights on each other's readings, deepening their connection as friends and seekers. When the virtual show concluded, our virtual audience was left inspired by the profound insights of the day.
