Burn the Relevancy Trap

Astrology's turned into a soundbite.

Too often in the astrology world people make claims.
Big ones.

I was one of them—for a moment.

Not because I believed them fully.
But because I wanted to stay relevant.

Hubris is a dangerous drug.
Addiction isn’t just escape or obsession.

Addiction is when you lose the meaning of what you’re doing and keep doing it anyway.

We are habitual creatures.

Dragons in human form.

The Urgency Machine

When everything feels urgent—
when the world looks like it’s burning—
making sense of it becomes the most human thing to do.

We look for omens.
Signs.
Synchronicities in stardust.

But not everything is life-altering.
Not everything is cataclysm.

Sometimes the small moments shape us more than the “big cycles.”
The personal connection.
The unexpected conversation.
The quiet rupture that rearranges your internal world.

Yes, we’re in another major human cycle.

I don’t need to spell it out.
You know.

And if your head is in the sand?
Fine. Stay there.

But don’t lecture the rest of us about “staying in your lane.”

Awareness isn’t obsession.
But ignorance isn’t virtue either.

When Exploration Turns Parasitic

What began as exploration stopped being innocent.

It became parasitic.

Partly my own doing.
Partly the hubris of others.

Astrologers are not spiritual leaders.

They read symbols.

But good luck finding one today who hasn’t fallen into the relevancy trap.

A dear friend—rooted in her ancestral land in a way most of us in the West are not—held up a mirror.
Her words gutted me.

She named what I was walking toward.

Not who I was.
But what I was becoming.

The easiest move would have been to gaslight her.
To villainize her.

But I’m not that woman.

Self-reflection is non-negotiable.

Reality must remain malleable.
Because reality is personal.

Once I understood my chart, I could have stopped.

But I didn’t.

I wanted foresight.
Control.
Protection from unseen traps.

And I ignored my gut when it whispered no.

I led people to “answers.”

That was the trap.

The Fools’ Gold of Prediction

Here’s the truth:

People don’t want predictions.

They want instruction.

They want you to tell them what to do—
so they can praise you or blame you.

That’s not astrology.
That’s dependency.

And I refuse to build my life on that.

90% of This Industry Is Rot

I’m disgusted by most of what I see.

Yes. I said it.

Anyone north of 60k followers on any platform?
I don’t need to name names.

If my stomach turns when I listen, that’s enough.

Call it jealousy.
Call it bitterness.

I call it discernment.

Astrology was once buried for a reason.

Now ancient knowledge is colliding with modern narcissism.

And something is being lost in translation.

Language used to carry weight.
Symbols had depth.
Nuance mattered.

Now everything is flattened into soundbites and monetized trauma.

We live in an age that devours culture, land, identity, information.

And astrology is not immune.

Grifters everywhere.

Pretty words.
Incendiary takes.
No accountability.

Social media lets anyone cosplay oracle.

Saints, Sinners, and the Age of Aquarius

Fame has become divinity.

The more followers, the more “godlike.”

Saints.
Sinners.
Martyrs.

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

But knowing what’s coming and diluting it for palatability?
Rubbish.

Inflating everything into apocalyptic theater?
Also rubbish.

Drama sells.

Truth doesn’t need theatrics.

Gatekeepers and Snake Oil

Let’s talk about gatekeeping.

Drip-feeding knowledge isn’t teaching.

It’s manipulation.

Astrology is not impossible.

It takes:

• Time
• Study
• Logic
• Pattern recognition

Intuition comes after.

You cannot ayahuasca your way into astrological literacy.

And unless you’re working directly with indigenous lineages, you’re probably funding another grift.

The Paywall Priests

Here’s what really sets me off.

Basic foundational astrology courses priced at $1,200+.

For what?

Planets.
Signs.
Houses.
Aspects.

That is not elite knowledge.

It’s foundational literacy.

I’m not saying everything should be free.

But pricing education out of reach while living in aesthetic castles and calling it “sacred transmission”?

Fuck off.

Half of them don’t even interact with their own students.

They outsource presence.
Automate connection.
Monetize mysticism.

And call it spiritual leadership.

It isn’t.

It’s capitalism wearing a halo.

Call It What It Is

It’s time to name things.

Astrologers are not saviors.
Not prophets.
Not chosen vessels.

They are interpreters.

That’s it.

If you feel smaller after listening to someone, pay attention.

If you feel dependent instead of empowered, pay attention.

If their brand is bigger than their substance, pay attention.

Exile Is a Choice

I don’t want fame.

I want honesty.

I want salt-of-the-earth thinking.
Clear language.
Real study.

Astrology doesn’t need influencers.

It needs literate adults.

If that makes me angry, so be it.

If that makes me bitter, so be it.

Better bitter and awake
than adored and hollow.

If you want spectacle, there are plenty to follow.

If you want literacy, sovereignty, and unromanticized truth—

Stay.
