What Does It Really Meme?

The world is full of archetypes (of which the zodiac is only a handful), but these quickly turn to stereotypes if we aren't educated about them and keep ourselves in check (i.e. remember that they are simply parts of a whole and never stand on their own). So, let's take a look at the theory behind this classic astrology meme, today, shall we...?!

♈️ 𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦: "Am anger"—ruled by Mars, planet of conflict/aggression/willpower/sex/anger/motivation/... (you get the picture), and a cardinal fire sign, which means fast-paced initiation (i.e. impulsive reactivity, lol). Check. 

♉️ 𝗧𝗔𝗨𝗥𝗨𝗦: "Am rite U wrong"—a fixed earth sign, the most stable/immovable energy in the zodiac...so, an unshakeable opinion is ONE way for this to manifest. Check. 

♊️ 𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜: "Am never shut up"—ruled by Mercury, planet of communication, and an air sign, which is social...Gemini is therefore highly stimulated by conversation. Check. 

♋️ 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗥: "Am crie"—ruled by the Moon, which waxes and wanes, is the luminary governing our emotional world, which in turn can become pretty moody due to its cyclical and sensitive nature. Check.   

♌️ 𝗟𝗘𝗢: "Am hawt"—ruled by the Sun, the center of our ego and self-esteem, and therefore naturally focused on the self in a generally positive and bolstering manner. Check. 

♍️ 𝗩𝗜𝗥𝗚𝗢: "Am Disgusted"—also ruled by Mercury, which focuses on details, but in the element of earth, which deals with order and practical concerns. This generally manifests as having high standards, notoriously in the area of health and cleanliness. Check. 

♎️ 𝗟𝗜𝗕𝗥𝗔: "Am hoe"—ruled by Venus, which bestows grace and charm, as well as an air sign, which is social. Libra's words and mannerisms therefore naturally tend to drip with honey and attract a lot of flies. Check. 

♏️ 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗣𝗜𝗢: "Am hornie"—originally ruled by Mars, we're back to the sex/passion thing. :'D Current ruler Pluto brings intensity and fusion on an emotional and/or sensual level, due to ruling element water. Check. 

♐️ 𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗜𝗧𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗨𝗦: "Am bored"—a fire sign, which is fast-paced and action-oriented, as well as mutable, which is adaptable and ever-changing. This can manifest as distractable and impulsive energy. Check.  

♑️ 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗡: "Am rich"—an earth sign, which focuses on the material world and financial stability, as well as cardinal, which is initiating and aspirational. Energy designed to reach the top. Check. 

♒️ 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗨𝗦: "Am weird"—ruled by unpredictable Uranus, this energy is highly non-linear, progressive, and stands out in any crowd. Naturally non-conformist. Check. 

♓️ 𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗦: "Am mentally ill"—ruled by Neptune, which rules the subconscious/higher psyche/dream world, and a water sign, which rules emotions and sensitivity. An energy that is so open and hyper-connected, that it often finds it hard to simply exist in the material world. Check. 

So, there you have it! An astrologer-approved internet meme! Always, of course, keeping in mind that these are simply tendencies, which we all have within us and don't always manifest exactly as such, but in various ways (depending on person and context). Now, go forth and spread the knowledge with a good conscience! ;D

The Cinematic Zodiac

You probably know the feeling — the one rising up from the pit of your stomach in distaste as you stumble across some magazine or newspaper column saying that you're  totally incompatible with Leo if you're a Taurus and you should probably  not  go skiing on Wednesday if you're a Pisces (your crush might ask you out by Friday though, so you're good). And even though statements like these are admittedly not completely divorced from astrological theory, it's still enough to make just about anyone cringe. But what if I were to tell you that astrology is so much more than that? Beyond all the generalized, superficial drivel, there's a world of timeless imagery and a wonderfully rich exploration of the human experience — the main premise of which being that there are certain basic tendencies and patterns of behaviour (in other words, archetypes) that can be found in each of us, the evolution of our lives, and the world around us.  "(...) forget everything you t...

Lessons From Scorpio Season

Image
This Scorpio season has kind of felt like walking through our own personal haunted house: surrounded by relics of days gone past, the ghosts of our former selves conjure up phantasmic visions, weaving together lie upon lie, until we are caught in a web of harrowing distortion regarding who we really are, what has happened, and where our lives are potentially headed. Often times, we enter this house completely willingly without realizing it—despite the discomfort and anxiety of reliving our worst fears, our minds CHOOSE them because they are familiar. Predictable. And, in that sense, safe. It's in these moments when we feel the ground begin to shake that we actually hold on to our fears for comfort, because, well ... been there, done that, right?    It's a habit that ultimately boils down to a belief that power (or, in this case, empowerment) equals control. However, trying to control things—our environment, ourselves, potential outcomes—in order to remain in our power, is hone...

Zodiac "New Year" Reflections

Image
Photo Credit: Denys Nevozhai (via Unsplash.com) Did you know that the astrological new year actually starts in March? ;) The Spring Equinox on the 21st kicks off Aries season, the first sign of the zodiac, and with it the start of a whole new developmental cycle in Western astrology! The twelve archetypes walk us through the most fundamental stages of our natural, emotional, mental, and spiritual evolution throughout the year, so it's a perfect time to take a moment to consider all the things they may have been teaching and helping us process since last Spring. During the season of a particular sign, the themes and energy of that archetype become particularly prominent in one way or another—e.g. during Cancer season we might notice more of a focus on family and emotionality, whereas Virgo season brings us back into our daily routines and work lives after the summer holidays.  If we choose to observe both our inner and outer worlds more closely, then, we may notice certain patter...
