An Expansion in Visibility, Creativity and Going Out in a Blaze of Glory

💥Work With Me: https://linktr.ee/thedarkmattershowThis was meant to be five minutes. She can't do five minutes. We learn.☀️Venus entering Leo, Jupiter Entering Leo and We Talk about it. Jupiter there will interact with Saturn in fire signs - something - of course - no one talking about.It's a Gemini New Moon - kicking off the Uranus in Gemini transit so let's have chit chat.Hopefully you enjoyed all my crazy content — the car rides, on the phone yelling, telling stories, acting the fool. Very Gemini. This episode was meant to be five minutes. She can't do five minutes. That's like saying I can have Klondike bars in the house and not eat all of them. (You know what I ate before bed last night? A Klondike bar. Am I proud? No. Would I do it again? Yes. Leave me alone.)But the point is home. Jupiter was moving through Cancer, and Jupiter expands everything it touches — and a lot of people became aware that where they live is not nourishing. I know that feeling. When I left the Bay Area, I was getting rashes. I don't have allergies. I don't have sensitive skin. So I knew something was up — my apartment was kicking me out. I lived in an armpit, literally, the armpit around the airport, and I stayed longer than I should have because I knew I'd never get that price point again.And New England — these are my roots, but roots aren't automatically home. I once told a man, "I wish there were more people of color here," and his response was basically: no matter where you are, there you are. The experience is what you make of it. That is the most white-coded thing you can say to a person of color. I was already uncomfortable walking in the room, pushing the envelope, and you're asking me to just... pretend? Cancer says: figure out what actually feels like home. And if your people and your environment ain't it, you gotta make some changes. Or not. Nothing's easy. No one said it's easy. This isn't your life coaching plan.Also in here: you gotta understand yourself. She thought she could buy the sweetened creamer and have it "once in a while as a treat." You know what's never gonna happen? That's never gonna happen. She gonna chug it like a beer. We love to tell ourselves stories, don't we, Gemini? And the stories you tell yourself are the most powerful stories. You think you out? You out. You think you're just pulled over on the side of the highway and getting back on the road? That could be your story instead.Which is also my answer to all the fear-mongering — the you'll-get-left-behind, your-job-won't-exist articles playing on people's fear. Start thinking like a marketer. Understand people's motivations. They're not pure. And while we're at it: if you're a woman over 40, put your own oxygen mask on first, because no one is going to put it on for you. Advocate for your health, because no one else will.Then the big one: I closed my company, and it turned out to be almost exactly a nine-year cycle — a product I launched, without knowing astrology, in the literal dark moon of my life. A very clear ending, and a very obvious new beginning. Jupiter is flow, but flow alone doesn't build anything. Saturn's over here asking: what the fuck are you building? You need both. I'm figuring out how to do both, and I'll figure it out because that's what I'm going to do.🔥In a blaze of glory, honey.🧀The Cheese stand alone. (I need some cheese.)
