Just take a beat.

If you find yourself fixating on things that are out of your control, maybe they're in your control tomorrow, but in this moment, they're out of your control.

Take a bee, give yourself some grace.

The thing about Neptune is that it is the planet that's associated with empathy, grace, kindness, forgiveness, and Venus.

Venus is very much associated with kindness and niceness.

And so if you are mean to yourself, if you are mean to others,

This trance is going to make you feel like shit.

And that's actually kind of cool because that shitty set of feelings are an indication of you holding something, an idea of feeling without kindness and empathy, without giving yourself or others grace.

Now, to be clear, you can have empathy and be kind and still have really strong boundaries, right?

Kindness and empathy cannot come at the expense of your integrity, authenticity, your welfare, or respecting the welfare and dignity of others, right?

That's not empathy and kindness.

And it is really just like, it can be really confusing and it can have you feeling all kinds of ways and it can have other people, people feeling all kinds of ways so that they act weird with you.

And you're like, why are you being defensive?

And it's probably because they're fixated on some weird fucking thing.

So again, hold space for, you don't know what's happening in the universe that is that other person.

And also you get to have clear boundaries that are yours to protect, yours to identify, yours to maintain.

A big part of this is not believing that your story that you're telling yourself about what other people are thinking or feeling is fact.

It's not.

It's projection.

It's assessment.
