“To get along with god, consider the consequences of your behavior.”—Octavia Butler


Saturn is tired of irresponsibility. the Moon is tired of overresponsibility. at this point, we’re all mother-fucking tired of the bullshit. if you’re not, congratulations on the work you’ve put in or sorry about the reality checks incoming.

the conflation of integrity with perfection will crush Jupiter’s hopes if we allow it to continue. those with integrity are tired of the resentment from those who struggle with it (you’re not perfect, you aren’t better than anyone) when we know damn well nobody said that. those who struggle with integrity are tired of the lack of grace those who pride themselves on their own (know better, do better at all times or you ain’t shit) when we know damn well that practice is the greatest teacher.

it’s all projection & we don’t need to play those games anymore. assuming responsibility for other people’s actions/behaviors or tryna pass on your own is dangerous. if you busy with somebody else’s actions & consequences, you’ll be pressed when your own come through. let them hold theirs as you mind the business of holding your own. on the other hand, grown ass people don’t act a way because of someone else, nobody can make you feel or do shit. this is how victim blaming happens, this is how abuse thrives, this is how we stay trying to hold people accountable when they don’t want to be.

Saturn says stay in your lane. Jupiter says grow up, glow up. Pluto says power isn’t to be played with. the Sun & the Moon say love yourself. the eclipse says you’re gonna learn either way so why not decide to participate?

I know you didn’t deserve the inheritances of harmful power dynamics, fractured relationships, & self-abandonment that you came into. I know you didn’t deserve to be betrayed, abused, or neglected. I know the roots go deep but the tradition doesn’t need to belong to you. it’s not your fault. but it’s time to do something about it, it’s time to repair, it’s time to listen. the pain of these processes is excruciating but you’ve come all the way here, starling. trust that you can hold yourself the rest of the way…or don’t. whatever you choose, do it for you.
