Wednesday Journal Entry, Week 28

There’s something bittersweet about starting a new chapter. You know there’s certain things you can’t take with you, but at the same time, they just don’t fit anymore. You’re not the same person you were and it’s not obvious how much has changed, till it comes time to turn the page. The change is so slow, so subtle, like the John Lennon quote: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”

If there’s one thing I learned during my Saturn Return, it’s I’ll never fit in, and that’s absolutely okay, because neither do a lot of people. A lot of voices aren’t counted in the world of social media and even beyond it, and what does Nina Simone say? “You’ve got to learn to leave the table when love is no longer being served.” But to put her idea further, you have to build your own table, and make sure that the people sitting there genuinely are meant to be there. And that’s what I’m doing with my brand new social media space. I’m building a table especially for those who don’t have a seat at the others. And I’m not doing this to be rebellious or make a statement, I’m really doing this to prove that social media can be done properly, with feeling. What started as an idea for a space for artists and astrology lovers, became more.

There’s no doubt astrology has become more mainstream over the years. With it has been an influx of people eager to learn more, which has also made it so that a lot of knowledge is watered-down and condensed, easy for consumption. Because of this, there’s rarely an explanation as to why something should be interpreted the way it is, not to mention the often black-or-white perspective we have toward certain signs and planets. When personal bias is confused with how energy actually works, it can make learning downright confusing. Eventually if something is repeated often enough, it gets mistaken for the real thing. So without further ado, here are seven myths some astrologers might have you believing in.

This isn’t the generation you want to mess with. They’re going to be determined, rational, articulate, natural leaders, and won’t take issue with saying it like it is. These are most likely kids that will start walking and talking earlier than normal, because they’ll be in such a hurry to do whatever they want in life. Should I also mention stubborn? Aquarius is after all, fixed air, meaning their beliefs and ideas are almost unchangeable, unless presented with new information that can prove them wrong, and even at that, it’s still difficult to argue with them. They’ll want it their way and will make Millennials and Gen Z look tame in comparison. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for these brats to come in.

There are few movies that have really left a mark on me like The Breakfast Club. While some people feel it’s outdated, and there’s no doubt a few of the jokes (and the sexism) haven’t aged well, as someone who’s always been on the fringes of society, it’s hard not to see myself in the characters, which of course is the point of the movie. I don’t think John Hughes really intended to make the film a realistic depiction of high school, he just wanted to write a social experiment on what would happen if five very different people got the chance to see past their differences.

And of course, like almost everything else, there’s an astrological reason for that. For starters, The Breakfast Club was released on February 7th 1985, right in the middle of Aquarius season.

We’re all familiar with the story. A young artist with big dreams pursues a career in entertainment. Eventually, they make it big and thus their Cinderella story unfolds. Along the way, they get the accolades, the awards, the recognition, and the chance to tour and perform with everyone they once only idolized. The fans love them. The press hounds them. The entourage is rolling in cash. Everyone is happy, except for the artist in question.

Back in high school, I had a classmate who was so obsessed with Twilight, that anytime her scoliosis would cause discomfort in gym, she would bite (yes, bite), her friends as a way to cope. She also occasionally would go around biting people for the sheer fun of it. While I wasn’t as deep into the Twilight Fandom, I definitely understood, as I secretly had read all four books at home, but felt way too cool to ever admit it in public.
