To be kind and tender does not imply the absence of caution and safety. You can be kind and tender to yourself in this world without being naive to a harmful degree. Kindness, and love is not a death sentence.

The laborious experience of existing within a reality where there is a heavy fear of these men. To exist within a cruel existence you must learn to be smart and tactical to survive least you succumb to it.

Being confronted with the harmful truth and the stalemate of an argumentative emotional mess. You feel stuck and pitty at the same time, you feel trapped in the condition but you can break out. You can get away. His word is not law your word is

NORMALIZE TALKING HIGHLY ABOUT YOURSELF

[moonlit-positivity]

Here is my controversial mental health take of the day: your negative emotions are not the problem, its the way you handle them that becomes the problem. You being jealous that your friend hung out with someone else and didn't tell you, is actually not the problem. It's when you choose to get angry with them, yell & lash out, or passive aggressively do something they hate to get revenge, or when you ignore them and isolate and self harm, those are all harmful ways to cope with your feelings. Rather than react, take the time to validate yourself, because it's normal to feel jealous or left out and chances are that there are deeper abandonment wounds that are triggered here, probably from your childhood. Take a moment to pause before you react. Then try a direct and open communication to your friend instead. Because I guarantee you they'll respond so much better to you opening up a conversation with, "hey, I felt left out when you hung out with so-and-so without me, can we talk about that? And maybe hang out soon?" Rather than the now laborious and torturous emotional work of having to feel guilty for your rage when you lash out or get revenge. Splitting is normal, because who doesn't get pissed off at someone you're close with? Your switching emotions from highly affectionate to devaluation are not the problem. Everyone gets disgusted & hurt by someone they love at some point in our lives, especially small offenses, I guarantee you chances are that person isn't doing it on purpose and would gladly like to know how you feel, these emotions and conversations are normal and necessary for humans to have. But the inability to clearly and directly communicate your feelings and needs to that person when you are hurt is what makes it toxic. You can absolutely learn how to handle your reactions in a safer manner, how to identify when you're feeling hurt, and how to communicate and ask for clarity and resolution rather than react and escalate. Communication is the backbone of every relationship you will ever have. This is what the emotional work of most personality disorders looks like.

Out of Darkness Deep

7H Open Enemies: 👿

The placements/house ruler in your 7H can show you who your open enemies are. Friends, family, associates, etc. You’ll be able to perceive these enemies way easier than your hidden enemies because they will attack you out in the open. So just knowing what to look out for you will be able to protect yourself. 💚

7H Moon/Cancer: Your enemies will be highly observant and manipulative. They will observe you just to see what your weaknesses are and then strike! They may also appear as someone that wants to help you and maybe even someone who wants to date you/befriend you but they will not have good intentions for you whatsoever so beware.

7H Sun/Leo: Your enemies will be highly competitive and destructive. They will try to dim your light and enjoy putting you down. Your enemies are passionate about making you feel worthless and insecure. They may also have a desire to outshine you and just want to appear better than you overall. Your enemies are fairly obvious though. They give off obsessive fan energy tbh.

7H Mercury/Gemini/Virgo: Your enemies may display trickster-like tendencies. They could be master con artists tbh. Prone to gossip, & slander, they will try to hurt you socially. But essentially, your enemies will attack your intellect and downplay your intelligence overall.

7H Mars/Aries/Scorpio: Your enemies actually want to fight you! They may even try to start petty one-sided competitions with you and engage in reckless, impulsive, and overly aggressive behavior. It’s literal war with your enemies so they will be pretty easy to spot out in the open.

7H Saturn/Cap/Aqua: Your enemies may have clout-chasing tendencies. They may even try to destroy your reputation through blackmail, and gossip. They can be insecure, opportunistic, cruel, and calculating. Your enemies may even believe that they are better than you and have no issue making you feel less than them. They may also try attacking your career as well so keep an eye out for sabotaging behavior.

7H Venus/Taurus/Libra: Your enemies are insecure af. They may even compare themselves to you physically but also resource-wise. Your enemies are envious and superficial. Beware of people who appear super kind and almost like too good to be true energy because it probably is tbh. Your enemies may also be more likely to be old friends or lovers so be careful who you reconcile with and make sure their intentions are pure.

7H Jupiter/Sag/Pisces: Your enemies are ruthless bullies. They will try to put down your intelligence and make you doubt the knowledge you possess. Your enemies may also display traits of egocentrism. The good news is your enemies will be easy to perceive. They will attack you head-on and will humiliate you publicly.

7H Uranus/Aqua: Your enemies may be unpredictable, condescending, and callous towards you. They will attack your intellect and feel threatened by your uniqueness, intelligence, individuality, and self-love. They may even engage in childish debates with you and try to make you feel inferior. Your enemies will outcast you too if you go against their beliefs/hierarchy.

7H Pluto/Scorpio: Your enemies are harder to spot because they are skilled at hiding themselves in plain sight. Their traits will consist of secretiveness, manipulativeness, and viciousness. Mind games are prominent here too. Not only will they try to destroy you mentally, they will try to harm you emotionally as well.

7H Neptune/Pisces: Your enemies will have victim complexes and will try to use guilt and shame to manipulate you. Similarly to 7H Scorpio/Pluto, your enemies are also hidden but to a certain extent. But regardless of them being sneaky, you will be able to perceive their intentions from them repeatedly hurting you mentally and emotionally.

Becoming your own muse makes you magnetic. It's the secret to seducing your dream clients, potential business partners, lovers, spouses, friends, family, and anyone who has the honor to grace your presence. People sense individuals who exude confidence and have ignited the fire inside that drives them. Smile at the mirror and recognize the perfection in your reflection. Never let a negative person, undesirable salary, relationship status, or circumstances dim your light. Only you can define your worth. Trust your intuition. You know deep down what's truly meant for you.

[cu-taibhseil]

shadow work isn't witchcraft. "shadow worker" isn't a real witchcraft title, because -- again -- shadow work isn't witchcraft, or folk craft, or related to the occult literally at all. it was co-opted into witchcraft recently. it's a facet of psychology/psycho-analysis invented by Carl Jung to help people going through trauma therapy. since it's not witchcraft: you don't have to do it, you shouldn't put up with being shamed for not doing it, and you should definitely be seeing a therapist -- who has experience with it -- when you attempt it, because it can dredge up some really nasty shit if you're not ready or equipped to handle the fall-out. AND you should start mentioning this and talking about this in every witchcraft/occult space. get people talking about it and researching its history. because lord above if i have one more person talk about shadow work like they're doing something more ethereal or mystical than journaling i'm going to lose my shit. and there are a lot of witchcraft spaces i don't want to get booted from.

[moonlit-positivity]

You don't need everyone to like you. I understand this can be an overwhelming trauma response to being neglected and otherwise hurt as a kid without the comfort and reassurance of our parents. But please try to remember that your worth is not dependent on how many people can love you. You have something much more important and worth protecting-- your heart and soul and mind and spirit. Not everyone you meet in this world is gonna resonate and vibe with you on those same levels. You've got to get comfortable with the concept of being misunderstood or feeling out of place-- and, rather than fawn to fit in, take that as a sign to find the spaces and people who can better appreciate you for it.
