Me at work: wow I can’t wait to go home and take a shower and make some food and wash my clothes and learn advanced biology and apply for NASA and make a breakthrough in modern physics
Me: *Gets home and falls asleep on the door handle*
some glo ups aint covered in make up and dipped in coconut oil. some are cold and wet in a strange way. some glo ups force you to throw away parts of yourself that no longer fit - no matter how long you’ve had them they. must. go. some glo ups leave you lonelier - wiser - but isolated. some glo ups are private.
▪️Shoutout to people who have lost a loved one
▪️To kids who are told their grief “isn’t as bad” because they didn’t lose a parent
▪️To older people who are expected to not grieve as much/“have it together”
▪️To people who receive comments like “(person who passed away) is in a better place now” and “man I’m glad I don’t have to go through that”
▪️To people who are pitied/treated differently after others hearing about the loss
▪️To people who can’t remember much about their loved one
▪️To people who are told “I know how it feels,” when it’s different for everybody and nobody can truly understand
▪️To people who still grieve long after the loss
I love you all and I want you to know that it’s ok to grieve. It’s ok to be sad, angry, or anything that you feel. You deserve the best.
upcoming cancer planet movements (dates/times for AEST):
venus in cancer opposing pluto in capricorn on 2nd of july:
our wants for comfort/home/attachment might be contrasted with the slow but intense structural change happening around us. being able to see to the core of unconscious romantic/value-based behaviour. to australian ppl: emotional patriotism may influence societal change on this day.
cancer new moon on the 3rd-4th of july:
time of emotional cleansing and healing. if you are used to cancer energies/water energies U might feel comfy in the catharsis. taking time out to have a salt bath or drink tea quietly and sit with your feelings = rly beneficial. time for emotional renewal in whatever area ruled by cancer in your chart (moon placement, house placements, strong aspects). clean your home and wash your sheets. set intentions for the next cycle.
venus and moon in cancer forming grand trine with newly direct mars in scorpio and chiron in pisces on 5th of july:
healing healing healing… empathy is overflowing on this day. it may be easier than usual to act upon it and to uncover your vulnerability. house placement of transiting mars in scorpio = where these feelings might most physically manifest. old, unhealed wounds may be brought up, possibly in reference to romantic/intimate relationships or even your ability to create. internal work and introspection, accepting your pain as being part of the collective, will bring stronger and more definitive ways of asserting yourself
sun and mercury in cancer trine neptune in pisces on 7th of july:
after the water grand trine, this trine to neptune from mercury suggests potential illusions and difficulties in direct communication. this might affect self-expression (it might even make u feel sleepy). but it is a great time to start a creative project, potentially involving non-verbal or indirect expression like dance or painting or music. dreams, fantasy and fiction might be more clarifying and closer to a sense of truth than rational thought on this day.
“Does the sun ask itself, “Am I good? Am I worthwhile? Is there enough of me?” No, it burns and it shines. Does the sun ask itself, “What does the moon think of me? How does Mars feel about me today?” No it burns, it shines. Does the sun ask itself, “Am I as big as other suns in other galaxies?” No, it burns, it shines.”
— Andrea Dworkin, Our blood: prophecies and discourses on sexual politics (1976)
