because to despair is human, and so is our ability to resist states of unfreedom. my take on what each sign adds to the resistance.
ᯓ★ you can read for your sun/mars/1H/8H/11H
⋆˚✿˖° Aries - you're the trailblazers, the leader of the pack. your ability to identify and dive into risks that pay off can teach us how to act on justice and safety; giving resistance its direction and movement. whether it's confronting authority and actively protesting, or self-defense workshops, or peer motivation, or implementing emergency response plans, you can spot aries taking charge in their natural element. with each and every person they meet, they practice authenticity. they're the life source, the fire, and the direction of change as inspiring leaders, activists and revolutionaries.
⋆˚✿˖° Taurus - associated with both the earth and the bull, you inspire lasting foundations, fostering an affinity for physical resources and sustainability. you bring the zen garden to the heart of the concrete jungle through your ethos of slow and mindful living. without you, taurus, who else can guide us through burnout recovery, resting and nourishing our bodies. who better to challenge the late-stage, capitalist vices of fast fashion, food wastage, land injustices and energy insecurities.
⋆˚✿˖° Gemini - your natural instinct to reach out in between the spaces of varying networks of interests can help you devise strategies, identify and debunk propaganda, and build tools of communication that are both light-hearted and easy to digest. think zines, podcasts, newsletters and teach ins. social media the world is your oyster, gemini. we appreciate the freshness of your perspective, your immense potential to create frameworks of ideas through which we can lay the foundations of change.
⋆˚✿˖° Cancer - you're the home, the refuge and safety of resistance, cancer. your uncanny ability to feel for others creates ripples in the fabric of the universe. like a mother's love that can move mountains for her offspring, your radical love moves the resistance through it's stagnant and often, unkind phases. You understand how safety is scarce, so you create safe spaces for the vulnerable. you start community kitchens, shelters and raise funds to provide for basic needs. many of you are caught fighting/healing intergenerational cycles and, redefining how you relate to the family, as well as, its role in perpetuating oppression.
⋆˚✿˖° Leo - you're the inner child at play, your imagination moulding the cosmos one creative flex at a time. theatre plays, art, dance and storytelling has bolstered the spirit that the oppressive side has failed to crush. the theatrics of exploring our collective creative side, uninhabited, donning our spirits with a bright enthusiasm for what nourishes the soul, has been at the heart of the resistance, and at the heart of leo's existence. your creative spirit grounding us against the depleting and alienating forces of capitalism.
⋆˚✿˖° Virgo - similar to gemini, you cut through the bullshit by providing fact checks. you draw the plans and pull up the blueprints. breaking big problems into actionable steps. advocating for special causes, developing toolkits, planning logistics and inventory, managing local support networks. your sweet souls guide you to create functional spaces where voices are amplified and the truth is at the center of all resistance work. virgo is also found at the forefront of improving health and safety standards, while caring for the environmental preservation. you may also work with taurus on fixing or repairing used objects or clothing items and upcycling a lot of stuff. virgos sometimes froth with impatience, and that the ideals of service are discarded for indifference and self-gain mortifies them. you rue over all the neglect, thoughtlessness, carelessness and a lack of intention as a dominant living style in late-stage capitalist society.
⋆˚✿˖° Libra - you may get the short end of the stick, being called ‘indecisive’ or ‘diplomatic’; but, you just want to ensure no one's left behind. you build consensus, with a sharp eye for balancing the scales, ensuring that everyone gets a seat at the table of justice. you ensure that people don't get carried away with annihilation, gently offering to recalibrate, and crafting spaces to preen and bloom in the aftermath of change. whether it's about the need for larger accessibility, or conflict mediation or de-escalation work, you try your best to create harmony in a graceless world. there are certain risks associated with such a giving nature and assuming good will towards all. when you act from a place that aligns with your sense of justice, libra, you're slowly creating a world that's just as gracious and trusting as you.
⋆˚✿˖° Scorpio - the back bone of the resistance. you recognise hurt as a space to be filled with understanding and compassion. you bring integrity to the resistance. your awareness, on both the earthly and spiritual plane is testimony to the intergenerational healing of the earth and the power of transformation. but it's unpleasant, oh so unpleasant. you address the inner policing software we all have in us, craving punishment as justice. you invite the shadow self to bring about authenticity. as the late stage capitalism offers us powerful entities poking at the wounds of society to let it fester into a money pot for the growth of the prison-military complex. you discern the hypocrisy, the injustice. you disempower these violent systems, at a more psychological level.
⋆˚✿˖° Sagittarius - you’re the truth seekers, and while that sometimes can feel like chasing horizons as they say, you know it pays off to investigate and explore. your curiosity pushes you to pioneer faith and stitch it into every action of resistance. very much similar to archery, you know if the arrow will hit the target or not, as you aim and release, you already foresee the future. now, this philosophy at an earthly level translates to championing grassroots movements, building coalitions, or working on educational reforms, or questioning outdated ideologies; sagittarius offers a focused momentum that sees results. the optimism of sagittarius is not hollow, it only asks of us to be hopeful because it’s a driving philosophy in a world banking on hopelessness.
⋆˚✿˖° Capricorn - while the frameworks of their world are crumbling, you’re burning the midnight oil to setup the foundations of a new one. the internal conflict between serving the community and being in a position of power to influence a better future has often resulted in sticky situations for capricorn. you diligence and mercy has been taken for granted but everything you do is for the longevity. the legacy. sometimes the elders of our family can perceive themselves as responsible, but not in the way they think; responsible for many things, yes, both good and bad. it’s not an easy legacy, for the elder are wise only because they glean from the mistakes they’ve made and witnessed. the sweetest and wisest of elders lead the family into progress and prosperity. these are your local businesses, communities, planned funding, planned infrastructure, long term housing solutions, supply chains which are built in a just manner, where personal ambition alchemizes into collective prosperity.
⋆˚✿˖° Aquarius - as above, so below. the shift in thought and imagination is already taking place and it’s possible you were there to feel it at least 7 years ago. you shake off the shackles of oppressive imagination and fantasies. like a hangover, the stupor not wearing off, but an awareness that something’s amiss. you’re the visionaries living in the future, through your lifestyle, art, writing, theoretical paradigms, films, social endeavors and activism. you envisioned a dystopia at first and worked your way backwards to reach a consensus on what needs to be done. whether it’s surveillance or inequality, alternative education resources, eco-sensitive awareness, and adding different dimensions to religion and spirituality. the acceptance that solidarity also extends beyond the goals of resistance, how we act in our inter-personal relationships, for instance - how we treat the autonomy of another, how we navigate the politics of the personal while aiming to transform the politics of the collective, how we navigate discomfort in conversations, how we attempt to control a discourse or dialogue amongst a group, even if it’s a sibling or a friend, the end game of cancel culture and its fascist optics of purity politics. it is all fairly overwhelming, because you realize everything is interconnected, as above, so below; you guys tend to be called ‘futuristic’, while most of your journey has seen you stand up on your own. the Aquarian age will gain you a community who’s finally aligned with your philosophy.
⋆˚✿˖° Pisces - the soul of the movement. where change takes longer but the benefits last longer. praying, setting intentions, community rituals, esoteric practices, healing circles, safe houses, art, murals, songs, poetry, deciphering dream logic and prophecies, wisdom keeping become central to the upliftment of humanity. a return to our purpose, our calling. how we can add to the community, care and mutual aid- by going back to our gifts, simple ways of living with evolved thinking. seeing beyond competition, algorithms and rigid definitions of success. no longer being subservient to the lower faculties of the mind. you’re healing the frequency of the world, by tackling what’s at the root. leaning into the whispers of the heart, your own inner Universe, you are reimagining newer modalities, trusting your intuition, replacing obsessions with mindfulness, and discovering a love that’s more holistic.
