We Are Not Love & Light- A Discussion on Toxic Positivity

This year has been highly saturated with wishes of love and light and good vibes only. It’s hard not to

mars square pluto is an assertive and intensely passionate aspect that usually occurs once a year. however, this year the alignment between these planets will occur three times!! mars and pluto are currently aspecting in a 1° square which will grow stronger and tighter by august 13th at 0.1°. the two planets will not meet again in another square until october 9th and lastly on december 20th.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
energies are strong and powerful under this aspect and need to be handled with care and awareness. pluto resides in capricorn, exuding themes of reformation whilst mars is at home in aries, exuding themes of drive and force. together, these planets can spark regenerative energies on the light side and confrontation and power struggles on the shadow side. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
the line between reconciliation and retaliation has burred, causing any confrontations to have unpredictable and explosive outcomes. what is certain is heightened sensitivity and restlessness if you’re currently sitting on any feelings of anger, pain, frustration or resentment. this aspect can be viewed as a test of managing our negative emotions as suppressions or outbursts of pain will seem easier than reflection and healthy emotional outlets. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
extra care ought to be taken when communicating with others as we may cause others harm through the words that we say and how they are said/received (remember, reality is filtered through our unique perceptions). this journey may be tougher for aries, leo, sagittarius, capricorn, cancer, scorpio and pisces placements as you are the most responsive, assertive and cardinal signs of the zodiac. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
it’s important under this aspect to be CONSCIOUS of your behaviour. ✨how do you deal with constructive criticism? ✨are you projecting your negative emotions onto others? ✨are you suppressing your emotions and allowing them to grow into something larger and darker?✨

venus has left informative gemini after a prolonged transit (due to her retrograde) and has entered tender cancer. she will transit cancer for the upcoming month until she enters leo on september 6th. the grand theme of venus’ transit in this archetype is SECURITY (in finances, friendships, romance, work and routine). ⁣
⁣
✨what makes you feel safe? are you a sanctuary for yourself as you are for others? what uncertainties are currently invading your thoughts and keeping you up at night?✨⁣
⁣
when influenced by cancers sensitive aura, venus is gentle and subjective. she’s a nurturer and wants others to take care of her without having to ask for it. she yearns for RECIPROCATED energy and when she doesn’t receive it, she resorts to physical or emotional isolation (which manifests as moodiness) and she seeks out security though other material means that will never truly fulfil her. ⁣
⁣
you may find that the people around you are more empathetic and open to vulnerability under this transit. look out for the tareans, aquarians, scorpios, leos, capricorns and virgos in your life as they’re unlikely to vocalise that they need your support (even when struggling) because they believe that have a responsibility to remain strong on their own. ⁣
⁣
cancer is greatly intuitive and often assumes that others can read them as well as they can read others. this transit is a reminder to take care of yourself and to listen and COMMUNICATE with emotional clarity. what is your mind and body telling you that you need right now? how can you work on communicating your needs better to others?⁣

mercury has entered vibrant leo (on august 4th) where he is in fall (directly opposite his exaltion in aquarius). there’s an energetic tug of war that occurs when mercury transits leo, as we naturally want to take our time with mental activity whilst mercury wants us to be sharp and analytical. leo operates from the illumination of the heart chakra (love) whilst mercury operates through the throat chakra (truth). depsite the differences between these energies, balance is achievable!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
when we express ourselves under transiting mercury in leo we’re bold and optimistic. mercury in this archetype has a flair for flamboyancy and excessiveness which could manifest as dramatisation in order to deliver a great, creative story. these theatrics are likely to happen if we ever find ourselves discussing the areas of our lives that we believe are dull or boring. we’re more prone to saying things that make us look good, even if it doesn’t align with the truth.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
when it comes to self expression, mercury in leo does not hold back. even when proved wrong or during moments of regret, our pride may be far too high to ever admit to this. you may observe that people are more stubborn and immature when both the sun and mercury reside in leo, which is why it’s important under this transit to loosen up, increase your patience and be a little more laid-back (air placements, i’m talking to you).⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
mercury in leo has a tendency to charge forwards without ever looking back out of fear of seeing something that he may regret. don’t be afraid of initiating conversations (particularly after disagreements) under this transit. however, it’s important to recognise when conversations are necessary and when they can only generate more drama. reflection can be powerful and transformative when done with others rather than on our own. embrace the INSPIRED circulating energies and initiate your channel of reflective thought through journaling.⁣⁣

✨check out my 888 highlight to read about the ancient egyptian history of the lions gate portal✨ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
ascension is a natural occurrence. by simply existing we are ascending + descending in every moment. every action we make, every thought we think, every word we speak, even the food we consume + how we choose to spend our time has a direct effect on our energy + vibrations. but what every being on this earth has in common, is that we’re all here to achieve ascension in the shortest amount of time, therefore greatly reducing the amount of times that we are incarnated in the future. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
the lions gate portal is OPEN + carries the energies of the astrological archetype leo + the brightest star in the sky sirius. these energies won’t pass until august 12th however, the lions gate portal will reach its peak on august 8th. here is your mission for the upcoming week💚:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☼ prioritise the activation of your heart chakra— crystals; rose quartz, green aventurine, emerald + green fluorite. food; think green! kiwi, green apples, kale, broccoli, green tea etc. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☼ open yourself up to communication with the divine. manifest, ask for signs and pay attention!! be observant of challenges + opportunities that arise this week. follow the natural course that is blossoming for you. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☼ observe how you can balance the energies of sirius that arise in your life— honour, pride, regality, wealth, passion, devotion, power, love, fame, faithfulness, grandiosity, resentment. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☼ release everything that no longer serves you + step out of your comfort zone. be courageous. this is a time for taking risks + putting all of your faith in the divine, your spirit and your manifestations. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
☼ love yourself UNCONDITIONALLY. be kind to yourself. don’t rush the process of healing, if you’re taking steps (no matter how small) you’re on the right course. ⁣⁣

✨F U L L M O O N I N ♒︎ ✨⁣⁣
sturgeon is the name of the full moon that illuminates august who embodies the theme of yearning freedom. the moon will transit into a direct opposition with the sun with the earth separating these celestial bodies on august 3rd (11°46’ aquarius) 🌙✨🕊⁣⁣
⁣⁣
full moons are recognised as symbols of celebration in which our emotions run high. but in fixed, air aquarius, we’re objective, structured and clear in our ideas. these energies do not stand alone this month and are stimulated by the looming presence of uranus in taurus who has formed tight squares with both the sun and the moon. this intensifies the unexpected nature of full moon energy and leaves us susceptible to unpredictable changes that we find difficult and unsettling rather than beneficial.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
mercury opposition saturn indicates rapid shifts in mood and peculiar behaviour as we struggle with containing our pessimistic thoughts. this aspect will occur later in the evening after the full moon has passed (though it’s energies will still be present), meaning that the changes that occur could perhaps bring bad news that will later spark disagreements, criticism or self-isolation due to sadness. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
these energies as a collective will manifest strongly for the external world of course (uranus) and we are encouraged not to take risks and do any big decision making concerning our personal relationships and finances (taurus/venus). however, women may feel these shifts in greater strengths (moon). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
we’re craving separation, individuality and limelight for our uniqueness when the aqua sun and leo moon unite. these energies working together on a personal level sparks an inflation of self worth. today, we emotionally have to feel as though we are special against everyone else (the house in your chart that is occupied by aquarius will indicate which areas in life you strive to be recognised for). it’s important to sharpen our social awareness today and recognise the uniqueness of all beings. remain flexible, and open to inevitable change as resistance may welcome undesirable outcomes in greater magnitude. ⁣⁣

you might be feeling an increasing discomfort that that change is coming under today’s sun-uranus transit. uranus transiting taurus is a placement that suggests that the dismantling of the worlds greatest problems (particularly those that occurred in the last 7 years under the uranus in aries transit). when uranus squares the sun, these global issues become personal to us and we feel these shifts heavier than usual.⁣
⁣
you may be feeling a little on edge or anxious about global surroundings today, especially if you’re particularly sensitive (water and fire placements). outbursts are more likely to occur under this transit as it often symbolises a breaking point or people reaching their wits end. what have YOU had enough of that you would like to change in both your personal life and about the world? (now would be the day to communicate this and spark this change). ⁣
⁣
on a personal level, we may be seeing a change in values around this time. additionally, under the impact of ‘treat yourself’ taurus and leo, i’m reminding you today to LEAVE YOUR FINANCES ALONE!! this change in finances will occur on both a personal and global level and the effects will be long lasting (uranus is an outer/slow moving planet). this changing atmosphere can be very rewarding if we’re utilising our innovative minds and manifesting a better future for ourselves. but today’s sun-uranus aspect is also indicative of a struggle with material temptation. ⁣
⁣
this aspect causes us to really look at ourselves and assess our contributions and impacts on the world. naturally, we’ll want to see ourselves as unique individuals and separate ourselves from figures of authority who do not share the same values and resources as us. there is no better day than today to think about how YOU can affect change on the world or within your community. have you done enough? do you ever intend in doing more? if not now then when?⁣

this week, the universe is granting us a new sense of energy to make sure we haven’t become complacent during our healing journey.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
this deeply impactful aspect between the sun and comet chiron (within 2.9°) exudes themes of RENEWAL and REGENERATION. we’re putting ourselves in the line of fire by opening ourselves up and being vulnerable in order to strengthen our conscious identity and relationship with ourselves. if you’ve been taking responsibility for your hurt and growth, this week you’ll be rewarded with emotional breakthroughs and transparency. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
under the influence of the two fire archetypes leo (in which the sun transits) and aries (in which chiron transits) during this sun-chiron aspect, we‘re taking charge of our healing and are beginning to piece together WHY we operate in the unique ways that we do and HOW past traumas are still impacting us today. it’s likely that you may experience a eureka moment this week in which suddenly things start to make sense and you have a newfound clarity about life and about yourself. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
there may be a new energy surrounding self-improvement and awareness for the next four days (approx) in which the people around us are becoming more conscious of their shadow side manifestations and self destructive behaviour. this aspect could very well manifest as someone apologising out of the blue for something that happened a while ago or someone acknowledging something you did for them in the past (and vice versa). ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
we’re coming to accept our flaws and the essence of who we are (if we have not yet done so) under these energies, but it’s important to remember that what we experienced in the past does not define us. in order to move forwards it’s essential to ACCEPT everything from the past without allowing it to consume us and dictate our future.⁣⁣

✨S U N S Q U A R E M O O N✨⁣
there’s an air of conflict and restlessness between the calling of our desires (SUN 🌞) and the yearning of our needs (MOON 🌙) today as the waxing moon enters her first quarter in scorpio and squares the transiting sun. this aspect represents our heads and our hearts being at odds which could manifest as frustration and emotional outbursts if we do not take care of our emotional needs.⁣
⁣
whilst the sun at 4° leo is high functioning, the moon in scorpio is in fall and represents an atypical intensity and emotional instability that lurks in the corner of our minds. the more we seek to go about our days while ignoring our difficult to handle emotions, the more we may be drawn back to our darker thoughts that encompass all of the stresses and emotional pressures that we face. ⁣
⁣
the significance of the 4th degree and presence of the moon suggests these irritations may be present within our home environments, amongst family and with other women. scorpio’s positioning here suggests tensions that are felt but not discussed (secrecy) which leaves negative feelings to manifest into something far greater when ignored. ⁣
⁣
when the moon transits scorpio, the mist of emotions that engulf us may not immediately be explainable or understood. similarly, when dealing with complex feelings and the wounds of our shadow selves, the world around us may appear to be a little more vibrant and bright, as if the shadows of clouds have isolated us from everyone else. this may be particularly harder for gemini, leo, virgo, capricorn and aquarius to deal with as your feelings may feel like an inconvenience that’s prohibits you from operating as you typically would. ⁣
⁣
whether or not we recognise WHY the scales of our thoughts have shifted greatly into the zone of negativity, it’s important to allow ourselves to feel OPENLY without shaming our vulnerability or seeking out distractions.

✨A C C E P T A N C E✨⁣
as the waxing moon transits virgo (currently passing 15°08’), we’re surrounded by energies that may leave us feeling a little insecure, critical and uncertain. vibrant leo demands that we take charge and own who we are with pride. however, despite the external confident facade, leo has a string of sensitivity to him. ⁣
⁣
without external validation and the confirmation that he is SEEN, leo often struggles to accept himself for all that he is. a bold exterior, and flamboyant nature is how he ensures that there’s always a light shining on him. but what happens behind closed doors or in our late night thoughts when there is no spotlight to cast a golden aura around us?⁣
⁣
when we always present our best selves forwards, it becomes harder to accept the raw version of ourselves that is only seen behind closed doors (you know, the version of ourselves that is a little rougher around the edges and a bit of a mess). under the transiting leo & virgo energies, it becomes harder for us to remind ourselves that we are ALLOWED to be imperfect and that the imperfect version of ourselves is JUST as loveable and acceptable. ⁣
⁣
we need to start validating our own existence and battle against the overly-analytical thoughts that eat away at our self esteem. we need to remind ourselves that people don’t love us because we appear to be perfect, well put together and full of light- they love us because we’re REAL and we’re ourselves. ⁣
⁣
leo and virgo coming together in the form of solar energy (ego) and lunar energy (private selves) is the perfect reminder that we are the ONLY people who will ever see every side to ourselves and all of our intricacies. therefore, the only person who we should ever rely on to be loved wholly by is ourself.
