Evan and Nat (August 26th, 2024 -After the "follow")

Overall Dynamic

4 of Cups, Magician, Chariot, World

Boredom or indifference in love. Lack of excitement. They may try to find ways to liven things up a bit. Experimenting in the bedroom or I can see them coming up with fun ways to think of things to do on a date night. I have a feeling Natalie was manifesting him and she, or both of them, might be feeling like the other is "the one". They may both be trying to be proactive and fix issues. On the flip side there could be trickery or deception at play. Maybe somebody is lying about their true intentions or feelings. Here is a balance of 2 urges that I have seen off and on with these two. I feel like one or both are not sure where they want to be with this relationship. There is a decision that has to be made. I feel like someone has control on the relationship. Someone is trying to steer it in a certain direction. And I'm not sure the other is giving in so easily. That might be the fight between the two urges. And the world means completion of a cycle. We see them progressing in their relationship regardless of what the cards say. So, there is the chance of progressing further to marriage or kids. It could quite literally mean seeing them travel together, which we just did.

Whats next for them?

7 of Cups: Well this card can indicate choices to be made. Maybe someone is jealous cause the other is getting attention from the opposite sex. However this could also just mean they still have a passionate and lively sex life. So, more sex for them I guess!

Evan's POV After Nat Meets Family

3 of Swords, Fool, Knight of Swords

Well, it could be better. Heartbreak, grief, sadness, arguments. It's possible there was an argument between them or something didn't quite work out the way Evan planned. Fool could mean he is not noticing red flags. He's acting naive to something. He's just going along on a journey, no worries. Like, is there a thought process here? Alternatively, it could mean he is thinking about moving on from the relationship. KoS is basically what we have been seeing all along. Fear of commitment, bored in the relationship. Difficulties opening up emotionally. Safe to say her meeting his family looks like a milestone to us, but hasn't seemed to budge him in any new direction. I don't know why, but I feel like he's so indifferent. Like "Shes cool. She can meet my parents. We'll see what happens" I feel like he's kinda just going through the motions.

Nat's POV After She Meets Ev's Family

Temperance, 5 of Cups, king of Cups, 8 of Cups

Well, she's feeling emotional. Lots of Cups. Even Old Tempy is holding a cup.

Temperance can be a soulmate card. We know Natalie has always been on cloud nine with Evan. It also represents having patience with a lover. Maybe she wanted to meet his family sooner and he wasn't ready and she was patient with him. However, 5 of Cups represents sadness and tension in a relationship. Possible breakup. She may be feeling sorry for herself. If we are seeing tension/arguments/sadness coming from both sides, I think it's safe to say an argument broke out about something during or after the visit. KoC means Natalie is trying to have compassion and keep a sense of calmness and balance between them. It's funny, because it says the King is diplomatic and political and we just saw her at the DNC. I can't imagine Evan was upset over that, but I wonder if someone else in the family was arguing politics with her and it stirred things up. It also says the king stays mature when dealing with negative energy. So, good on Nat. 8oC is not much better. Abandonment, walking away, letting go. "Leaving unhappy relationship" also "abandonment issues" I feel like we are seeing both sides of the coin thru her eyes. She may be ready to walk away, but she is aware of Evan's possible abandonment issues. Unless she, herself has them as well. SOMETHING happened here.

How Nat Sees Evan's family

2 of Pents, Queen of Wands Side:

I think she wants to try to spend more time with them, even though she's always busy with work and/or social events. She wants to get to know them better. The Queen suggests that Natalie found his family to be optimistic and social with her. On the other hand, I think someone was being a bit of a bully and temperamental. That could check out with whatever went on to make them argue.

How Evans Family Sees Nat

6 of Cups, 6 of Pents

They seem to like her!(For the most part. I don't know who was trying to start shit) I feel like they felt familiarity with her. Almost like they have known her forever. I feel like they walked away with happy memories from her visit. I think they also feel that she is a generous and giving person. It just popped into my head that I can see Natalie helping Evan's mom or sister cook. Maybe helped do the dishes. I'm sure it has something to do with how much she donated to the charity event. I also saw the picture of her playing with a child, which I assume might be Evan's niece. So, they definitely have a high view of her, which is amazing.

I looked up what 6 means in tarot and it can mean domestic happiness, love, harmony. I feel like Evan's family definitely found her to be a good person.

george russell is interviewed after fp2, italy - september 1, 2023 (transcription under the cut)

Interviewer: "George, how was the car feeling today on a track like this here in Monza?" George: "Yeah, it's great to be back here in Monza. Certainly different characteristics compared to last week in Zandvoort. Obviously we're fast in the straight and low downforce. Interesting day. I think on medium and the hard we did in FP1 and FP2, it looked pretty competitive. When we put the soft on it wasn't quite as fast as we had hoped, which generally puts it down to the tire and not getting it in the sweet spot, so something to learn from that. I think the race is gonna be challenging for everybody, because when you're on these skinny rear wings there's not much of a slipstream effect, so there might be a bit more emphasis on qualifying than usual." Interviewer: "And what's the focus for you in FP3 for tomorrow? Of course, we've got the alternate tire allocation for this weekend, so a little bit different." George: "Yeah, it defnitely mixes things up, because normally FP3 is all about qualifying, all about fine tuning that soft tire, but obviously we'll only see that soft tire again if you get through to Q3, so we might do a bit of a long run on that. Obviously we didn't do many laps in FP2 in the long run, with the red flags, so have to wait and see. Not been long since I've been out the car, so go over it with the team and see what we can do." Interviewer: "And what are the expectations for qualifying, as well?" George: "I think it's really close, as always at the moment, betwen McLaren, Aston, Ferrari, and even Williams in the mix, especially on Saturday, so we're gonna have to really nail it. To even get to Q3 is gonna be a tight battle. But I think, as I said, we look more competitive on the hard and medium than we do on the softs, so we'll need to try and find something to get us up the order. But if you nail it, could be second row of the grid. If you just don't quite nail it, you could be down in P8, P10 region, so that's exciting, in that regard." Interviewer: "And how tricky is the alternate tire allocation, as well? Of course you're gonna be doing quali laps on a hard, then a medium, and hopefully then a soft, as well." George: "I quite like it, to be honest. It makes Friday a little bit more challenging, but I think the quali formation, in isolation, is good. Just Friday you don't get the chance to do that many laps on different sets of tires, so I think the allocation's got potential. Don't think it's quite there yet, with its overall format, but I'm definitely not against it."
