I'm not taking care of myself, other people, whatever the fuck it is.

That discomfort, that awareness can be the seed that grows into change, that grows into greater alignment.

The key is to not devolve into anxiety or self-blame or martyrdom.

And unfortunately, because of Neptune, all those things are very possible, unfortunately.

Venus squared to Neptune does a lot of things.

So one of the things that this transit can do is it can make you feel really off about the way you look.

It can create anxieties about your appearance.

So your appearance is both the physicality of your meat suit, you know, your aesthetic.

And a lot of us end up feeling like very policed or judged by our family of origin when we hang out with them.

So that, you know, might be it, but genuinely like just

this transit.

It can introduce anxiety, Neptune, about how you appear to others or beauty or the general details of how you present to the world, Venus.

this can make you then act fucking weird.

So this is the thing about when I'm sitting around feeling anxious and self-conscious about myself, you may or may not be thinking anything about the things that I'm fixating on.

And so now when I'm like wrapped up in my anxieties,

I'm gonna act in ways that reflect that, that reflect my desire to fix it, to hide from it, whatever the case may be.

And so when you are in a state of anxiety, when you're picking yourself apart,

What happens is you act in ways that kind of invite discord without realizing it.

Oftentimes it's subtle and people aren't even aware of it, but it becomes almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I want to encourage you to be kind to yourself.
