A programming note: Our last workshop of January, an overview of the Astrology of 2024, is this Sunday. The amazing Anthony Perrotta will be facilitating the group. Everyone who signs up gets the replay.
oh wow, so much of this resonates with me, I don't even know where to begin. But yes yes yes.
"Maybe, the next 20 years can help those of us who have always felt like misfits, like they don’t fit in because of their values and integrity, find one another…and trust one another…and build and support and grow together."
This really stuck out to me because I have been slowly marinating in the idea of how to do community in ways that don't end in infighting. I know that its so much easier to attack one another than it is to face the real threats, and that's so often why communities devolve. But my deep hope (as a person with a very, very Plutonian chart) is that Pluto in Aquarius will help us band together and learn to identify and organize against the real threats (white supremacy, capitalism, colonialism, etc). and help us learn to stop turning on one another.
Anyway as always I love this substack and I am right here with you!
Deeply love how the hardest part of your life you've alchemized into finding your immoveable truths that not only have benefitted you, glowing girl (!!), but have also been kind enough to share and teach all of us. As a parent it moves me to growth, as a person it moves me to action, looking forward to your words and tender truthful teachings always
Those are really hard experiences to go through and I relate so intensely to what you’re saying here. I know for myself at one company I held them accountable through my ability to document well and this resulted in the company retraining the entire staff about sexist/racist behavior. Yay! But then I spent almost every day after that being called into my bosses office with HR there to witness, and running to my car in a zig-zag because I was AFRAID of getting SHOT. Until I quit. My next HR nightmare happened when I was forced to resign from a job after I had been hit on by a coworker and instead of holding him accountable, I was quiet because I had learned my lesson. I lost many years of friendships because of that. And I just don’t believe in working within the system, yet I am not exactly sure how to work outside of them entirely either? My only plan now is to be even louder and hope I can find and create places for myself and others. Places where I’m not on the defensive because I’m not having to defend myself all the time. I know there’s no such thing as a perfectly regulated nervous system but not being in abusive environments sure does help.
Oh wow. The crickets heard when speaking truth to power. I have heard those crickets and have felt rage over it.
Thank you for reminding me that I was doing my best to have integrity and that I wasn’t crazy.
You aren't crazy! The gaslighting is real. Love you.
Love YOU!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I related to it a lot. You give me hope! 🙏🏽
<3 thanks for being here and for your support. <3

YES! I hope for it all too, and am trying for that. Always on same page. Love it!

Oh I haven't shared about the hardest parts of my life! But yes alchemy is the only option. Thanks for being here.
