Coming to a Head: Power Plays

I don’t know her story. From the day I met her the vibe was not vibing for me. Every day of my life I do my best to be conscious of judging others, but I had to actively watch myself. I hadn’t done anything to her, but her perception is going to be her reality, and that’s not personal to me.

This is me very humanely admitting that I need a weekend to do a spiritual reset with my soul. There is so much drama surrounding me. Today it had someone crying at work.

I wish I had the authority to call a meeting. I think the manager is going to soon, and that’s probably what the Mars, Jupiter, Pluto T-square is about for me. Mars will be in my 1st house conjunct my Jupiter. Jupiter is transiting the tenth house of career and reputation. Pluto the 7th house of one-on-one personal OR professional relationships.

There is way too much I know about relationships that I have been forgetting in the heat of moments lately. I don’t have any good excuses. Just that I am in constant pain, trying to learn how to…
