Libra ♎ — Fear of rejection/conflict

Libra wound = rejection. So they’ll smile like “everything’s fine” while their inner world is on fire ☕🔥

Watching The Loved One, my biggest realization is that sometimes, love fails not because there is a lack of it but because of a clash in how we survive.

While we can look at Ellie as an Air Sign (Gemini) from a purely human perspective, she represents the Fear of Erasure. Marami sa atin, kapag pumasok sa isang relasyon, natatakot na baka kailangan nating isuko kung sino talaga tayo para lang maging isa sa partner natin. Ellie’s flight to Nepal and her constant need to extend her stay isn’t just about travel… it’s about proving to herself that she still exists outside of the relationship.

• Jericho’s character represents the kind of love that wants to build a home … a roof and 4 walls. Safe but closed. Pero si Ellie, she represents a love that needs a horizon. Neither is wrong but they are fundamentally incompatible if they don't learn to compromise. The tragedy is that the more he tries to build walls to keep her safe, the more she feels like she’s in a prison. Nakakasuffocate mahalin ang taong ang tanging hangad ay ikulong ka sa loob ng safety niya.

• We often romanticize the partner who stays and waits (like Jericho) but the movie shows the toll that takes. Being an anchor for someone who wants to be the wind is exhausting. It turns love into resentment and that’s where the storm comes from.

• The movie suggests that for a relationship like this to work, both people need to be okay with being alone while together. If you can't handle your partner being in … physically or mentally for a while, you aren't loving them… you’re loving the idea of them being yours.

The writer seems to be challenging the audience to ask… Is your love a sanctuary or a leash? Most of us think we are providing a sanctuary but to someone who values their independence above all else, even the most beautiful house can feel like a cage.

I'm seeing you guys had no other choice but to escape something that was manipulatively and purposefully toxic. I'm seeing someone may have even plotted to ruin income for you and/or take money from you and God made you privy by way of intuitive download or dream, which is what pushed you to remove yourself. There was literally no other option: it was either let the manipulation happen or move on. So, you chose to go and you were nudged to choose yourself and your passions/stability

What: Mercury in Aquarius

When: Jan. 27 - Feb. 14, 2025

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp. Aquarius and the other Fixed Signs & Air Signs

Takeaway: with the mind planet (and astrological megaphone) in the progressive air sign, you’re beginning a new three-week-long journey of innovation, creativity, and curiosity.

New mindset, new results. That’s the M.O. of Mercury in Aquarius. Well, that and innovation. When the mind planet enters progressive Aquarius, our collective focus hyper-fixates on innovating, especially in technology. So you can imagine my un-surprise when I was watching the news and saw on Monday, Jan. 27, just mere hours before Mercury officially entered Aquarius and officially conjoined Pluto, it was reported that the Nvidia stock plummeted. Why? Well, China released DeepSeek, their version of an AI chatbot; and apparently, it’s faster, better, and more energy efficient than ChatGPT.

My favorite headline from the news: “Tech stocks fall as China’s DeepSeek sparks U.S. worries about AI race”. There are soooo many Mercury in Aquarius themes in that story—news media is ruled by Mercury, too, btw—but the last bit of that title circles us back to my lede. With Mercury moving through Aquarius, the premise is simple: new mindset = new results. The U.S. now has an official AI competitor, and unless they get a new mindset (ie: innovate), they might just come in second place in this Age of Aquarius AI race.

As I wrote about in my weekly forecast, the Mercury-Pluto conjunction might “reveal some shadowy truths about power, control, wealth…” While this news about AI isn’t shadowy, it is uncloaking the truth about who now holds the power in the tech race and the decimating impact it’s having on tech stocks; in typical Mercury form, the megaphone planet is amplifying this new AI power struggle. As my second favorite news story reports: “Meta is…scrambling ‘war rooms’ of engineers to figure out how DeepSeek’s AI is beating everyone else at a fraction of the price”. Technology. Innovation. Robots. Engineers. Artificial Intelligence. Those are ALL Aquarius SEO keywords, and Mercury is lighting them up.

Air Venus, on a good day: "This fine day, I trust in my intelligence and speak my mind. I enjoy bossing up problems; growth and innovation might as well be my last name, and I love to see that in other people too."

Why?- When Venusian energy merges with air energies, it creates an unbelievable concoction of beauty and intelligence, the best of both worlds. It's my favorite thing to see.

Gemini- You're a bubbly, socially adaptable chameleon who can fit in anywhere. You gravitate towards the odd and fascinating, and tend to avoid anything that feels monotonous or rigid. People may perceive you as being two-faced or disingenuous, when in reality you are complex and misunderstood. There is much more to you than what can be seen on the surface, and it requires a special person to learn every side of you that exists. Your greatest obstacle is learning how to trust and be trustworthy in return. You're already a deeply honest person.

Libra- You have an excellent sense of humor and you have no difficulty being liked by others. At times, you are a bit of a people-pleaser, which can make you feel taken advantage of. You are naturally flirty and know how to make people feel good about themselves which has served you well in life. Your greatest obstacle is learning how to stand up for yourself when no one is around to defend you. You already know how to charm people, and that's a start.
