4 Zodiacs Drowning In A Deluge Of Toxic Positivity In Mid-May
VIRGO
Is this deluge of your own making, Virgo? Partially. You have this tendency to nail-bite and white-knuckle your way through life, swearing in the toughest moments that youâre capable, that itâs no big deal, that someone has it harder, that life is all about suffering anyway. You de-validate your own true feelings so often, that everyone around you follows suit, and you end up in an echo chamber where your own bias is reflected back to you, day after day. But if you let the side down? If you drew back the Instagram filter, the same way a magician yanks a silk drape off of the box heâs just used to cut a woman in half, if you showed the world all the anxiety and self-doubt lurking under the surface, you wouldnât have to let it suffocate you for show.
LIBRA
Youâre always looking for the bright side, Libra, and while at most moments in life, itâs an admirable aspiration, we encounter those where the best thing we can do is just acknowledge the shittiness of our present circumstances. Maybe someone didnât really mean well. Maybe weâre not supposed to learn some enlightening life lesson from this suffering. Maybe we donât want to hear that someone is in a better place or that it will all work out. Maybe we need a hug and some empathy and for someone to tell us itâs good that weâre still trying our best anyway. Maybe there is no one to do that for us, and we do it for ourselves. Sometimes life is a big, beautiful mess, and a few positive qualifiers still donât change the fact that itâs messy. Itâs a reality we have to learn to live with.
AQUARIUS
The aim of any true social justice warrior is to leave the world a better place than you found it, and you are no stranger to going out into the world and getting your hands dirty to do so. You are on the ground, talking to people, and so eager to evangelize solutions to problems you care about most. But that tendency, to jump straight into the fix can feel a little salesy, Aquarius. Sometimes people just need you to listen to their problems. Their complaints and concerns. Sometimes giving them the space to vent, making them feel seen and heard, letting them know you really do care, is the biggest step you can make toward effecting change. Donât be too hasty by skipping over it entirely, or youâll lose important chances for true connection.
CANCER
You give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and second chances that are really 31st chances in disguises, because you donât want to deal with the disappointment of acknowledging when people choose to let you down. You say their learning, or growing, or didnât realize what they were doing or the impact it would have. You absolve them of all guilt, preferring to live in denial while your hopes are dashed time and time again. Sometimes you have to walk away. Sometimes you have to admit you cannot save someone or be the mirror that finally shows them the error of their ways. Sometimes people have made their bed, and you have to let them sleep in it. Youâll finally sleep better yourself when you do.
