Do not feed the crazies

Looking at the 9/21 solar eclipse, it's at 29° Virgo, and if you look at the  rest of the sky, what's opposing that degree? Neptune and Saturn! And what's trining that degree? Uranus and Pluto! So this eclipse point has some things going very well for it and some things going very weird for it, which is par for the course, isn't it? We are all used to the very weird energy because we've been living in it basically all summer, but this eclipse is reinforcing it. "Who's in charge? No one! Also, do you want a whole bunch of information that seemingly only exists in a wind tunnel, that some people are almost willfully blind to? Or information that seems like you should be able to do something productive with, but you can't figure out what that thing is?"

Yeah, I mean, it is weird, and you're not alone if you're feeling it. But the rule of energy is if it's not flowing properly, you go on side quests until something shifts. You do not bang your head until you get a concussion because you're not getting what you want. Not with this sky. Take it from me: an Aries rising with a Saturn-Pluto conjunction (if you know what that means, great, and if you don't, ask ChatGPT what an Aries rising with a Saturn-Pluto conjunction would know about managing energy and getting things/people to move). You check back every so often to see if it's moving yet, and then you find a new hobby to distract yourself in the meantime. Or maybe go back and get another master's degree that may or may not be at all useful and bang your head against a wall that way (I'm making fun of myself right now, but I realized I wasn't getting out of a non-moving bind I was in for several years so I did this).

The eclipse is making the fact that some stuff is moving easily and some stuff is completely insane the focal point. We're going to get more of it.

With this energy, there is potential for people to realize that whatever mental tunnel they've been trapped in (possibly for several years or more) is completely insane. They MAY come back to earth (the eclipse is in Virgo, after all). But it may be too late in some cases: the people waiting for them to stop being crazy may have given up and walked away.

For the record: I'm not encouraging you to give up on people, it's just that in some cases enough is enough and you're going to see some people realize that and some people keep listening to people who are yelling more of what they want to hear at them. What I actually feel is that polarization in any direction isn't productive but it's easier than ever to wind up in a wind tunnel because where are the voices of reason? (Answer: they all got laid off a long time ago.) Frankly, in a lot of cases, we are driving ourselves insane. Just because you can see it clearly when other people are doing it doesn't mean you are exempt (and it does not need to be political in nature in case your are picking up my political subtext in this piece, which IS present).

So, if you are driving yourself crazy somehow, this eclipse gonna help illuminate that, however, a couple of mentors have said this to me, and now it is my turn to say to you: disillusionment is one of the most painful things a person can experience, and people tend to fight it hard.

Earlier this summer I had a moment where I realized that a mildly unpleasant situation I was tolerating had hidden facets I was not aware of, and my tolerance of it was, in fact, crazy. I needed to stop being passive about it. I'm still untangling it but now I see it in a different light where it looks much more insane. I invite you to take stock if you find yourself in this camp, and I'll also say that sometimes you have to undo a thousand small decisions with one really big one (another Saturn-Pluto lesson for you). That's possible with this energy but it's not easy. Realizing you were wrong hurts.

P.S. Please note that I did not say that you should try to talk someone out of their craziness. It's time to realize *your* limits, which includes the reality that you can't argue with crazy, and that in a lot of cases being crazy-adjacent is also crazy.
