Slowing down versus aggressive confusion

Hitting an impenetrable (but definable) wall vs hitting an impenetrable (but undefinable) fog of irritation

You ever eat a food so bizarre and unpleasant that it gives you a mild existential crisis about reality?

You may think this is impossible, but I am here to say that it indeed can happen at any time

The chances are never 0

The worst thing about late stage capitalism is that I love being a thoughtful pen pal who writes beautiful, thoughtful replies...

Yet, all of my bandwidth for writing beautiful/thoughtful things is used to barely keep up with workโ€“which I also love & find important!

I want enough for both! BOTH!

I got to this point last year, and it took a while to reorient to turning my big thoughts into deeper/longer content that was better served somewhere besides socials. But imo very worth the effort

Maybe the problem is how astrologer is popularly defined, and the silent expectations we assume it has.

But I also understand this.

I see you as a priest/ess facilitating connection with God(s) and faith community, and astrology is one of the tools you use to do so.

We are made of bread
and light, and love that is the song
of a blackbird to the morning, a bat's wings to the night air.
The moon, a scythe, to reap us,
the sun, a child that sails away -
we weave a religion
full of fatherless sons
and immaculate women
that only gods may touch.
We have always made our own kings,
and tasting hunger, truth has watched,
its crow's eye upon the work
of harvest and plough.
To cut the sheaf, then
the earth, these dark sods, rich as blood, raised, but a promise even as they harden - of hope perhaps, in a seed or the black tips of a hare's ears,
in the secrets of our grandmothers.
