Libra ♎

Lazy, excellent social manipulators. If you’re particularly smart and with finesse, your Libran manipulation skills are so below the radar, you avoid detection. Knowing when to cry, when to smile sweetly, when to flirt to get what they want. Some of you aren’t as smart or elegant as you think, and your manipulation is evident, unapologetic and cold. Being on the other end of a Libran mean girl, is a fucking trip. You will make someone feel smaller than anything, especially if they already have a low self esteem – because you know the exact right buttons to press.

Librans can be gossipy bitches. It’s that air sign need to always be engaging with information, it can get really callous. People think Librans are nice because they don’t know one deeply enough, or has never wronged one. There is a reason that part of the symbols of Libra is The Sword of Justice. Once that sword comes down, your head will be rolling. You guys are so good at reading people and you collect overall data that you use in your judgements rightly or wrongly. Many Librans are judgemental whether they show it to you or not. You know you’re in when you start hearing the real unpolished takes. Back to the laziness, you Libra men are known for being hypergamous and hobosexuals. You utilise your feminine palatability to get in with women of your choosing or other men. You wield your softness, your romanticism to take, take and take from those around you. You are a literally drain on someone’s energy, life and resources.

Librans can be so painful – especially the men more than the women – when they want to morph or merge with their partner. You don’t have to lose your personality and friends bro, just because you fell in love. It’s okay to be your own person! The lack of backbone on some Librans?! Needing to find a leader or a group, that makes them feel like they are a part of something. Outsourcing your decision-making to others because somehow, making your own firm decision is the height of your struggle. You can be self-indulgent, choosing to ignore responsibility in favour of luxuriating and the illusion of grandeur. Romantic manipulators for sure.

Scorpio ♏

The emotionally traumatised to traumatiser pipeline. So many of you had really cooked childhoods and teenage years, and for that you torture us all. But please, stop hurting everyone you encounter because you refuse to learn how to re-open after heartbreak. One thing you will do is start again. Rebuild your life from scratch so you can achieve your revenge arc. Your fucking wet dream. I know you have a rolodex of childhood bullies you plan to flex on, crush or obliterate, and you’ve been keeping tabs on them for years. We get it, you have a long memory and you must right the scales in your own way. You are incredibly suspicious of people and their intent, despite the fact that you are a walking lie detector. You choose to walk around on the offense, ready to get someone before they get you. That cannot be healthy.

You think your depth is so fucking special. No one would understand the depths of trauma that you have survived. There is no medal for staying broody after trauma. Refusing to open pandora’s box to free yourself of old hurts because a huge part of your identity is that exact fuckery. Who would you be if you allowed yourself to channel the rage and disempowerment into something of use – allowing yourself some levity? You want to engage in relationships while keeping a wall up, while wanting your partner to show every stretch of skin. You want them to bear their very soul to you, so you the Overlord can decide what to do with it. As if you’re so safe with feelings, when you won’t even share all of your own. You think you are so hard to read but you aren’t. You are massive simps, who just want to be cradled and catered to. It’s that Martian baby in you that is very instinctual and wants to be centred.

You guys are some of the stingiest men in the zodiac. You are going to pay exactly your half of the date down to the very cent. You are convinced everyone wants you for your resources. People will have what you allow. If you feel that’s all people see, maybe that’s all you are presenting as well. You put so much effort into your career, as a smokescreen for all the other problems in your life. You constantly oscillate between wanting a soulmate to merge with, and wanting to be single and resentful. You start things you can’t finish but with the superiority complex of someone who finishes what they start. Emotionally. You guys are actual stalkers and not in a figurative sense. You don’t even just do it with technology or in real life you guys are spiritual stalkers. Many of you are lucid dreaming and remote viewing to surveil the people you are attached to. You are the type of people to keep your lover/fwb’s underwear, watch them while they sleep and keep a toenail in a special box with all the other things that remind you of that person.

Sagittarius ♐

Has a head ever been further up one’s own ass? So caught up in feeling these bigger, grander concepts – deep things even – but failing to see the things dangling right in front of your eyes. Your ego creates a rose tinted filter and you start believing your own bullshit. Feeling self righteous for being able to articulate something niche for just that group of people (and not likely people with those same special interests). So many of you, especially the ones most privileged, are the types to correct marginilised groups on things happening in their communities, because of an observation you made or because you visited one time. A lot of you value comes from being known or thought of as cultured. You are likely to have many friends and lovers from different parts of the world.

Many of you lack finesse in how you communicate. You think being outspoken means being cutting and rude. It’s tactless. I wouldn’t expect a Sagittarius to remember very important details about me unless they were trying to fuck or get into a relationship. You are so incredibly self-absorbed I have never seen anything like it. You are definitely in the top 3 star signs whose selfishness is absolutely off the motherfucking charts. The way you don’t even see people around you, when you are working towards a goal – is only impressive for those who don’t value community. You tend to value impressing others and being looked up to, than being worthy of it.

You are incredibly overconfident and that is of course your Jupiterian rulership. Yes many of you are super creative, sporty and multitalented but you are simply not the only one nor are you the first. Yet your egos are very fragile, because you only want to be surrounded by people that blow smoke up your arse. You find problems and start fights with other people that are self possessed. Sometimes, you withdraw from friendships with other powerful people because you can’t stand not being seen as the most powerful in the room. It’s actually very sad and speaks a lot to the intrinsic place your self-esteem is derived from. Many of you have sparkling careers at the expense of many other areas of your life. Many of you could start a cult if you wanted, and have probably orchestrated something risqué, teetered on the line – but people accepted it. You are argumentative and contrarian for egoic reasons and I find it terribly boring and exhausting.

Capricorn ♑

Repressed, depressed and surviving somehow despite self deprecation. Overworking as a means of control, a means of creating legacy – at the expense of your own body. Your identity is so routed in being seen as the good girl or the responsible man, that you are always seeking to receive that validation. You are a veritable workhorse, but luckily for you you’re not always a stick in the mud. You are incredibly hedonistic, and are likely seasonally burning the candle at both ends. You are wound so tight around control that many of you need powerplay in the bedroom. Your childhood issues and your adult neuroses come together to create a kinky playground. Many of you want obedience in many areas of your life. You are addicted to rules and systems, they make you feel safe. As such many of you cannot be relied on to be the one to take down a system. You might be there to improve it, humanise it but your speciality isn’t in revolution.

Every failure only makes you want to try harder, to win the game that the system has presented. So you and your family can hang back in the lap of luxury. Speaking of, many of you mistake money for intimacy. Your purchase power is the lightning rod with which you direct your attention and passion. Yet what people want from you is more intimacy. More of you unearthing and shedding the layers that your inner child is buried under. Your wit is one of the main reasons, you aren’t completely insufferable. You radiate this energy that life has to be work (I get it, Daddy Saturn and all that), and then you keep the fun, expressive and sexual sides of yourself packed away in the closet of your mind.

Sometimes you guys are drawn to bums, people that do indeed end up wanting you for money or proximity to power. You end up in a self-fulfilling prophecy where you go from being the ‘adult’ of the house from childhood, to carrying this pattern in romantic relationships and never getting to be ‘off’. I think this is why so many of you are into BDSM. You need some interesting ways to let go, and there is a lot of structure to be found in BDSM if you’re taking it seriously. You just want love and to be acknowledged for your inherent worth but you are so guarded with people you don’t know – you end up intimidating instead of magnetising.

Aquarius ♒

Egoic, calculating, restless bastards. Many of you should just stay single and not even attempt a relationship. The men especially. You are socially intelligent, but romantically blocked up. It’s because romance requires a lot more emotional involvement and that’s where you tap out. See, being there for your friends is light work to you. You’re an Aquarius and Uranian, you were built for it. Romance means compromise, it means sharing the spotlight, it means centring not just your ideas but the other. That, is the problem. You want to be the spotlight. You want to be Ganymead who is approached by the Gods for his beauty and intellect. A romantic partner means you should also be the God, propping up the lover in your life.

Aquarius women have the unfortunate habit of magnetising incredibly egoic partners and staying longer than they should (fixed sign energy). There is a long-suffering nature to Aquarian women in an unfulfilling relationships, but they don’t stop dominating in other areas of life. You remain creative, eccentric and self-focused somehow through that mess. It is terrifying and impressive. Aquarian energy can think that it is intellectually superior to everyone, which it certainly can be. As an air sign myself, I think Aquarians can lack intellectual honesty mid-conversation, when they realise they are wrong but double-down anyway. That fixed energy to me means, as much as they are expansive thinkers, when they are married to an idea – it takes a while for them to get out of it. So arguing with one feels like a dead-end when you’re in the right because they simply weren’t ready to see it or admit it to themselves.

The emotional detachment can be an absolute curse to people you date or are friends with because you have a genuine blindspot. You’re not always cognisant of how flippantly you can treat other’s feelings, purely because of the way you categorise and compartmentalise your own. It is therefore, hard for you to see why you’re in the wrong emotionally. You get away with towing the lines because of your eccentricity. If people aren’t paying attention, they are likely pawns in a game of your making. You’ll stir the pot then sit back and watch it boil over. You think you are very straight forward and upfront, but your logic over emotions brain can make you hard to read or even contradictory. I think it’s better to watch an Aquarius instead of just listening to what comes out of their mouth. Otherwise you will be gaslit into thinking your observations aren’t valid because they don’t suit the Aquarian narrative at the present time.

Pisces ♓

Escapist, reckless and scattered. You don’t really want to exist in the way we already exist. So you are constantly finding ways to make existence more bearable. Many of you are functioning drug addicts and alcoholics. Many of you are sexually promiscuous.  You dream of a life where someone comes in to save you. Physically, financially and spiritually. Sometimes in your fantasies, you are also the rescuer. However, you can project what you want to see with all that Neptunian energy. This can make you guys very dangerous people to fall in love with, or to be the subject of your obsession. You being obsessed with someone normally means, the boundaries get blurred for you. Pisceans are genuinely some of the more unhinged people in the zodiac and it’s not necessarily the same darkness present in Cancer and Scorpio.

The Piscean darkness is liminal. It’s everything and nothing all at once. It is the beginning and the end. As such, yes stalking can be a thing with Pisces, but it’s about what they do with it. While a Cancer might be in a secret fight-club after he tucks his family in for the night, or a Scorpio spends hours trolling through the dark web for a clipping of hair – a Pisces might break into your house and you find them on your couch with a rose placed between their teeth. Likely to overshare very early as a way to connect or garner sympathy or get their emotional hooks into you. You use your good looks to get what you want from the people around you. Piscean women I would say are the most likely to stab you, but look very virginal like their sister-sign Virgo. Piscean men tend to look like male models, who are extremely innocent and needing guidance. Other Piscean men may still look pretty, but with plenty of tattoos to advertise the trauma and emotional rollercoasters they have survived – and the toxicity they have beneath the polish.

"You believe you are unworthy, but I know you are so much more. Sometimes the world doesn't need a white knight, sometimes it needs something darker, so you have two choices: you could either become the destroyer of this world, or you could be its savior." - Dr. Fate (Black Adam 2022)

Pile One👤

The backbone of your shadow relates to manipulation and the desperation to be known and seen, even if it means being acknowledged for notorious deeds. You're savvy when it comes to being charismatic and having your way with others, as well as getting on another person's good side. You have this cheeekiness about you that's both your strength and your downfall, it's charming and useful for networking but is also a gateway for making enemies that don't find your wittiness to be amusing or convincing. You could see another person's trust as something that you should take, from finding their weaknesses and exploiting them through soft lies or willingly dousing the person with what it is that they seek, even if it's you, in particular, because I'm seeing a lot of puppetry/pinnochio themes, you could be the type to be a couple of steps ahead of people that want to manipulate you by allowing them to think that they have power over you, but it ends up being you with most of the control in the situation. On the other side of your shadow, is acceptance that everyone will not like you and it's not your responsibility to win over their approval and letting go of thinking that everything needs force. Coexisting with your shadow, is understanding that recognition is yours by not overcompensating and and overexposing yourself to multiple people and causes. Allowing things about yourself and your life to remain a taboo, is what makes you harmonize with your shadow side while still being able to shine.  Why the world needs this, is because you teach others that lust or desire for something that someone has, isn't a valid admission or reason to give away your trust. I feel like this has a lot to do with independence, and valuing self-importance, with not just the people that learn from you, but also yourself. You could be likely to come across someone who's prone to reconciling with another person out of longing or to acquire something about them that they feel that they don't have within themselves (confidence, love, strength, etc), feeling that they need to look or be a certain way to be attractive (maybe even cling to something that they consider an enhancement that they need), or any other situation that relates to seeking power that they feel that they don't have. Your shadow mostly teaches others to find their own strengths so that they don't feel like power is something that they need to consume or force out of a person through manipulation, but I also get that the benefit of being around your shadow relates to beauty as well—it enlightens a person to know that feeling inadequate about their looks doesn't mean to do more, there's a physical appeal in what they keep as a mystery or the unparalleled allure that comes from remaining unfiltered.

Pile Two👤

I'm getting that the people who are drawn to this pile are highly in tune and developed with what the traits of their shadow side are, you guys could be rebels and skeptics instead of blindly conforming to anything, but besides having your own thoughts and beliefs, there could be something different about you that you can't exactly pinpoint on why you don't feel like you can relate to anyone in this world or what makes people likely to alienate you in some way, I feel like at some point in your life, you thought that mimicking your surroundings instead of expressing the authentic parts about yourself would make you feel more included or at home, but it never really changed anything in regards to how people treat you besides making you feel even more alone inside. This could be something that you struggled with before growing more confident with yourself, but your message about your shadow, is that the only thing about it that's holding you back, is the way that you choose to go about accepting it. Your message reminds me of the movie Megamind. Don't allow your loneliness or another person's poor reaction to you, interpret your differences as a weapon. Being unique or misunderstood shouldn't conclude you as someone who's an enemy to the world or someone to be feared. Furthermore, just because you're different, doesn't mean that you don't have anything useful to contribute to the world. Change is the only constant, and what's more useful to change than something new and what isn't common? Accepting yourself doesn't mean reducing yourself to what other people call you, nor does it reflect on how much you appear to not care on the outside. It takes grit to walk freely without anyone's validation, but don't let the hardness from your surroundings, harden you inside, or make you believe that just because the world isn't showing you care for your feelings, that you aren't deserving to express and receive sensitivity. Why the world needs your shadow side, is because that there's a truth that needs to be exposed within humanity—there isn't anything normal about it. You help others take a step closer to loving and appreciating who they are by helping them let go of trying to get others to normalize the things that aren't, and to instead, just normalize their selves. Co-existing doesn't come from fighting all of the time, or trying to get people to agree with you, co-existing starts with just being.

Pile Three👤

(specifically 1:36)

Hi 😊❣️

♑♀️Friends to lovers trope in romance maybe?

Yep, the 7th house represents your spouse.

Or even the type of people you attract. This could also be friends, clients, etc.

The 7th house can also be our own traits that we don't acknowledge. Or the traits we repress.

Like, say you're a cancer rising, so you like to be soft and sweet and just take care of things. Like you want everyone to feel comfortable. Capricorn as a sign is more focused on materialism, control and earning respect. So if you're suppressing your 7th house traits, you could get annoyed by peopep who show Capricorn like tendencies. Or people who are not overtly emotionally expressive.

Capricorn is ruled by saturn, the planet of delays. Your more stable partnerships could come later in life. Could be attracted to older, more stable, reliable personalities. Wise. Dependable.

I think the reason you'd meet this person later is because they could have key Capricorn traits. Someone who is relatively successfu. And it takes time to build that empire.

Venus in Capricorn shows that you crave partners who can be trusted. Someone dignified. Fair. (unless saturn is in detriment)

If you go into business with someone it could be a long term partnership.

Venus in the 7th house could be good for client oriented jobs where you have to form. Meaningful relationships of value, worth and commitment with the customer. They need to trust you.

It could also suggest that you build a business from scratch and strike decent success.

Also with venus in Capricorn, a slow simmering attraction is how your relationships progress? You take time to open up, let someone in.

Venus in Capricorn wants a partner they can build an affluent home with. Status, image and skill matter.

Aries ♈

Whiny entitled cry babies. Craving understanding but being unwilling to get off your emotional high horse to listen to the next person. Grating communicators especially when frustrated or in conflict. Arguing with you can be a nightmare because while you are intellectual and don’t get enough credit for it, you are so insanely hard headed and can turn stimulation into vexation with ease. It’s everyday asking for a reason for someone to start you, so you can assert your physicality. Both the men and the women you are similar in this trait. There’s healthy competition then there’s an Aries needing validation from their chosen metrics of success. Yes, you are misunderstood but when have you ever tried to actually explain yourself for someone to understand, calmly without raising hell?

You can be incredibly reckless in the name of having a good time. You aren’t satisfied with anyone else’s leadership and yet you forget to be a good leader, you have to be a good follower. Sometimes your whole anti-authority schtick is you dressing yourself up as noble, because you couldn’t get the opportunities you wanted.  It’s funny that you don’t want anyone to be clingy with you, because you value your independence – but you are the baby of your relationship. Your clinginess just comes in its own flavour, it doesn’t make it any less clingy. If you are not being centred every moment of your relationship, you’re just going to be a petulant nuisance. You mistake your impatience for urgency, your tantrums for passion and your boredom for moral insight.

Not everything you find annoying requires your ‘justice’. Maybe it’s your lack of depth, that means you cannot accept many truths co-existing. Sometimes you interrupt others because you are uncomfortable not being at the centre of anything you are involved in. You think being real – whatever that means for you – is the real bravery. Sometimes it’s just being loud and emotionally stunted in a clown suit.

 Taurus ♉

Fiscally responsible, emotionally children. A staunch refusal to change, grow, learn in a real deep way. Oh, but the appearance of it, sure. Romantically obsessed with being part of a power couple. Want to be in the couple that outdoes everyone in stability and finances. Actually ends up picking partners based on very shallow criteria then so many of you refuse to leave those partners you’ve short-changed, and instead torture them by cheating instead. You value money so much it is a massive blindspot. You will try to charm with money, apologise with money and do everything that doesn’t require money, with money. So many of you literally would rather die than feel negative emotions. You would do anything including deluding yourselves. Incoming facts? You don’t hear them. You hear attacks and you throw a tantrum.

Yeah you’re bulls in a China shop when you’re angry, seeking complete destruction instead of resolution – it’s actually exhausting. Controlling and not always overtly. Insanely jealous despite the double standards you maintain in your romantic relationships. So many of you have little friends and those friendships once someone takes a look in, there’s a lot of discontentment. Many of you feel lonely even with friends because you are so addicted to curating your image that you give people these specific aspects of you that don’t nourish your soul! Taurus rules the 2nd house which relates to self esteem. Your self esteem is a massive crutch. It feels too painful to address it, and yet that is what makes the difference between an unevolved and evolved Taurus. You need more courage many of you, to tackle your demons. You could learn a lot from your sister sign Scorpio because your refusal to dig deep to finally actually unearth that deep, dark, nasty childhood gunk… add your massive ego and it will be the death you (metaphorically speaking).

Gemini ♊

So manipulative it sickens me and I see it in you guys every time. I feel you squirm under my gaze because you know the jig is up. ALWAYS, always overestimating your intelligence – especially out of the Air signs. I said what I said. You are always scheming. Your relationship? Likely the result of a scheme. Your career? The very same. We are all just puppets in your Punch and Judy shows, or so you think. The annoying thing is you are really good at many of your schemes. People believe your smart, fast talking ways. I get annoyed at the lack of depth many of you have. Yes, you can engage on a wide range of topics, that comes in handy but when I want to dig deep it’s not a Gemini I’m doing it with. Geminis have nice shiny comments about life, and society but rarely are the arguments actually rooted.

If you’re not careful too a Gemini will gaslight you all day everyday, but for different reasons. To pretend they knew what you were talking about, because they think it’s amusing or to fit whatever narrative suits them at this time. You use other people to distract from your shitty lives where you’ve thrown kerosene and lit a match but now you’re pretending you just happened upon the scene of the crime. Many of you lack genuine empathy but can perform it, and as a psychic this really gets my goat. I can see how you collect admirers because of your social finesse. And because you’re an air sign it comes easy to you, so it’s not even that impressive. It would be more impressive if you defied those traits and chose to dig deeper. So many of you lack integrity while I haven’t noticed cheating as glaringly as I have with Taurus, you lack integrity in sooo many other areas of life. People are just stepping stones for you. Honestly, to have a Gemini in your life, you need to stock up on psychology books and content. The projection that Gemini’s can do is insane. You should never relax around them. Always fishing for gossip and leverage.

Cancer ♋

Emotional terrorists. You wield your emotions to shape your will. That’s how you make people do what you want, and create a world that suits you. Many of you are control freaks. You want to be taken care of and be babied, but you want to control everything about the person. You want to have access to their wallet. You want to control how often they go out vs spend time with you. You let it be known that it is your will or no will, and not always with your words. You are steeping in unresolved and slightly Freudian psychosexual issues. You drive the emotional cycles in the homes you reside and you hold the other people in your lives hostage. If you can offload your financial burdens onto someone else at their expense, you will.

You can be so promiscuous but its well hidden beneath your steady rising of the ranks professionally. Your long memory can be a curse. You hold so much depth beneath still waters, like the ocean itself. Combine these traits as well as your intellectualism, it is no wonder so many serial killers are Cancers. With your whole silent, intuitive routine many of you hold lots and lots of secrets. Excellent at compartmentalising, streamlining your experiences to suit your needs and image. I’ve watched some insane domination by Cancers. Inserting themselves into people’s relationships like its target practice. Your whole seduction technique romantically, platonically and even in business – it to disarm emotionally. You thrive on making others feel safe, so you can take what you want and orchestrate your dreams. For all your apparent emotional intelligence and availability you are actually incredibly selfish. Your sign  is a water sign so all that emotional labour, is second nature to you. It doesn’t make you automatically a good and righteous person.

Leo ♌

Selfish, selfish, selfish brats. It’s all about the sell to you. You wield your charm like a weapon of mass distraction. You leave a trail of heartbreak in your wake. To be in your life, someone has to completely submit to your whims and delusions. I’ve sworn off of Leos because it’s like kissing a shiny turd. Leo’s will clean up well, show up in their best dress, pay for the meal and maybe even buy you a surprise present – all the while disrespecting you in every other way that counts. A Leo wants a sort of cheerleading-slave-partner hybrid. You – like lions themselves – overestimate your usefulness. You convince yourself that you’re great over there, puffing your own chest out high on the fumes of fancy. All the while you are leaving friends, lovers and family emotionally bereft from carrying the weight of the inner child you refuse to heal.

You walk around thinking its more important that people believe you know everything and do everything right – than it is to be right. You are only humble when it benefits you. You will go to great lengths to downplay the full extent of your ego because you are aware how it comes across. Romantically controlling, prideful, unfaithful and completely self-serving. At your worst instead of being the sun, shining the brightest, you completely suck the life out of your partners or friends. You love to tell tall tales, it’s a wonder anyone takes you seriously. A Leo’s worst enemy is someone like me with a long memory. My memory is long, it is precise and my pattern recognition skills will have me dissecting your entire anthology. Accountability? You don’t know her. It’s just theatre and vibes with you.

Virgo ♍

Virgos at their worst are insufferable conversationalists. Always going on and on, seemingly not caring that you checked out 10 minutes ago when they wouldn’t stop rambling. Not everything in your noggin, needs to come out. I know because I have a Virgo Mercury. There can be nothing more painful than watching a Virgo in a relationship. Always overextending until they snap. Many times the doormat, sometimes the Warden. Watching you excuse bad behaviour from your partner, so you can hold onto them is incredibly grating. Yet, I wouldn’t want to be on the other end of the relationship once you check out. You are obsessed with your own body, your partner’s body and other people’s bodies. Stop that. Get some help. Just because you can comment on things, doesn’t mean you should. Have some decorum.

You act like someone told you that having a scroll-length list of attributes for your perfect partner, makes you someone with high standards. No, it just makes you a perfectionist arsehole who is hard to please. You’re so convinced that you are simply the classiest, most sophisticated person in the room just because you tuck in your shirt or look like you’ve never had sex. Virgo mothers specifically are some of the most harmful to their children’s self esteems. The sheer AMOUNT of people I have met who mention having a Virgo mother, and then I observe their neuroses – it has to be studied. You seriously affect the self esteems of people around you, with your fixations and observations. Instead of wrangling your inner critic, possibly softening her you punish us all by sharing your hypercritical nature.
