Welcome Pessimists! First I’d like to say that there is a place for you in this world. While it is important to acknowledge your thoughts and not let the deep dark ones consume you, we can’t all be full blown optimists all the time. You know the optimist; the person who is always smiling, telling you not to worry and to just be happy. That person who takes risks – has fabulous outcomes – and tells everyone that “if you can dream it, you can do it!” That person is important, but that person is not everything. Sure, no one likes someone who is a Negative Nancy all the time; but, Negative Nancy is the person who nurtures us, the person who says “maybe it’s not the best idea to jump off that cliff right now.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Negative Nancy is Equally as Important as Sunshine Sally. <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I find that many healers on Social Media are bypassing the trauma we are experiencing this year. Many people are saying “but you can’t feel that way! Don’t be anxious, just stay positive and things will get better!” Like I mentioned before, we have to have positive thoughts to prevent us from spiraling in our anxious pits of despair; but, we have to balance the positive thoughts with negative thoughts. We can’t force positivity all the time. We have to acknowledge the negativity we are experiencing. The world is suffering and if we bypass that, we never get to the root of the problem and solve it. Would you want your brain surgeon to be like “Hey it’s all good! We just have to pray and have positive thoughts and things will get better!” or would you want them to say “There is an issue here and I am going to address this deep dark issue head on so we can heal it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need a healthy balance of both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m here to be honest and share with ya’ll how I feel. I\u2019m here to inspire you so we can all heal the world, together. What I\u2018m not here to do, is spiritual bypass. I\u2019m not here to say \u201cstay positive! Every little thing is going to be alright!\u201d I\u2019m a pessimistic human being with feelings and it’s about damn time we acknowledge the pessimists and stop telling them to just shut up and be happy. Okur!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pessimists Unite!<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what’s causing me to go on this pessimistic rant? \u2026it\u2019s been a rough week. Countless times I felt like there was no hope. I felt sick. I drank too much after work. I cried. I\u2019ve never lived through a flat out civil war. None of us have lived through a civil war with social media around! Shit, we may not even enter a civil war…but that feels highly unlikely at the rate we’re going…who determines when it officially becomes a civil war? How did America’s previous civil war actually start? What led up to it? Why are we back here? How do we fix it this time?<\/em> See how fast the overwhelming thoughts creep into my head?<\/strong> I’m sure I’m not alone here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The constant flow of information… mostly misinformation, is exhausting to say the least. Sure, social media has its perks. It\u2019s brought us all together. It\u2019s connected humans on a global scale. It\u2019s personally helped me to find like minded people who share my love of astrology and tarot. Not many people were super interconnected and into planetary spirituality where I grew up so I am very thankful for the connections I’ve made online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Age of Aquarius<\/em><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Here we are in 2020, in the age of Aquarius, using social media like our lives depend on it. I\u2019m literally using it now to get this message out to you! I need it for that. I appreciate it for that. But that doesn’t mean all is well. I am not well. I am a human with feelings. Even though the Aquarius stereotype is to detach from emotions, I am here in the Inventive Age of Aquarius on an Aquarius Full Moon, and I am feeling. I am feeling overwhelmed by the constant flow of information online. I am feeling sickened by the constant sad news. I am feeling confused by the conflicting information I am seeing coming from every direction. But mostly I am feeling hurt and angry over the excessive hate and divide we are experiencing. I am hurt and angry that Republicans wanna blame Democrats AND that Democrats wanna blame Republicans. I am hurt and angry that the general public is not seeing the bigger issue, equal fucking human rights are NOT being met and will not be met with the systems that are currently in place in our government! *deep breaths Emmy, deep breaths!*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many people my age, I’m learning more information about politics everyday. If I want to change the direction we are headed and help bring love and equality to this country, I’m going to have to make an informed vote. I’m going to have to filter through the bull shit on the Internet and find the closest truth I can that reflects the current candidates and what they represent. This is positively overwhelming! It’d be 20 times easier to just pick a side and blindly vote from there…but I just can’t do that. I have to gather as many facts as I can, hello again Aquarius themes!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquarius Keywords:<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technology, Humanitarian, Intelligent<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of Missouri won\u2019t let me vote by mail unless I have an excuse or medical condition, and as much as that scares me, I am going to have to get the fuck out of my house and vote anyway. I know I am not alone in feeling this fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spending some quality alone time this year, I have been expanding my mind to solutions and new possibilities. I am seeing through lines that I have never seen before; but, I am struggling to find ways to share my knowledge with others. It’s sporadic and new in my mind and comes out of my mouth the same way. Most people feel like they know exactly how America should be functioning right now and are not listening to opposite sides of their arguments, myself included. How can we find ways to channel Aquarian themes and come together at this time? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mars in Aries<\/em><\/span> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Our old pal Mars is still in Aries (until the end of the year). Quick recap, this means, the planet of action (Mars) is in the sign of the self (Aries). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
