We are told that if we go to school, get a degree, and “get up and get our asses to work” a la Kim Kardashian, we’re all set for life and we’ll reach the pinnacle of success and be able to retire!
But we know better.
Especially those of us in the Pluto in Scorpio generation (Millennials).
We aren’t afraid of exploring our sexuality, discarding the gender binary, embracing the occult (unless you’re one of my Gemini exes who doesn't "believe" in astrology), throwing oppressive social norms and hierarchies in the trash, seizing the means of labor and creating unions, bringing long-buried truths to the surface, and doing away with the concept “taboo.”
A theme that has been coming up in my astrology consultations and conversations with friends lately is the fact that we can have many beginnings and many endings over the course of this lifetime.
And those beginnings and endings can merge, circle, blur, bend, and spiral.
If you’re trying to figure out “what to do with your life,” and you’re burnt out at your job, and your soul is being sucked, and you’re about to have a panic attack because you’re like “omg time is running out I need to figure this out.”
Can I invite you to slow it way down?
Can I offer what Tricia Hersey of the Nap Ministry teaches: that time is a construct capitalism wields to keep us producing in order to prevent us from resting and imagining new possibilities?
Can I encourage you to question the all-or-nothing impulse that keeps you from seeing that other choices and alternatives exist?
Maybe you quit your job and go after that creative pursuit that brings you life and inspiration.
Maybe you figure out how to maintain the work you have that might not be the most fulfilling, but it does materially sustain you, so you craft a blueprint of what it looks like to adjust your schedule a bit and make more room for your entrepreneurial/creative endeavors?
Maybe despite what your Capricorn Dad says (Hi, Dad, love you!) about securing a job that pays into social security (which unfortunately won’t exist for us anyways) you work a smattering of jobs, you experiment with what you want to do knowing that in the end it will work out in some kind of beautiful mosaic.
You are not stuck.
What if you altered your relationship to time, money, resources, and your self-worth?
Let's start this process by unraveling the biggest taboo: money.
I hope this self-reflection guide offers you some insight into your relationship with the thing that unfortunately makes our world go round in many ways. Money is a life-giving resource that we all need to survive and thrive inside capitalism. You deserve to be economically safe and abundant.
Chani Nicholas said, "It is impossible to heal inside of capitalism without the material means to do so."
I believe by questioning, examining, and re-imagining your relationship with money you can re-imagine all the ways in which you feel stuck from going after what it is you most want.
