hello from a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon, Scorpio Rising, Mars in Pisces, Saturn in Pisces, Lilith in Cancer, if you’re asking “omg are u ok” at this point know that the answer is “usually, no, I see myself as a sea siren but mostly I’m Nemo”
to have significant water sign placements is to have very special empath superpowers,
our highly sensitive, highly intuitive, deeply feeling, mystical worlds are a gift to those who are capable of receiving the essence of who we are, who are capable of handling and holding space for the way we love,
it is to be turned on by vulnerability instead of terrified by it,
it is to live so fully that we make love to our existence, both in the radiant sun-like glow of our happiness as well as in the dark, void-like depths of how completely we shatter when our hearts are broken,
to be ruled by water signs is to have a big, big sensitivity to sensing, working with and understanding invisible planes, energies and metaphysical forces that are unseen to most people in the world,
it is to possess the emotional depth of an endless, wild, roaring, all-consuming, full moon high tide ocean - in everything you're passionate about, everything you do, and most importantly, the way you love everyone you love,
to be so water sign ruled like I am is to be very, very sensitive, it is to feel hurt deeply when you do, it is to be dreamy, chaotic, sometimes escapist,
and to cry often,
it is to swim in depths of vulnerability that most people would drown in,
it is to very often wonder, “am I even supposed to be human? maybe I’m supernatural? surely this can’t all be normal ;)”
and to spend your life re-learning how your sensitivity is your biggest strength, your divine signature, and your gift...
no matter how much the modern patriarchal-capitalist, masculine glorifying world - with all the strange pride it has in it's own numbness, disconnection, misalignment, high up walls, avoidance, emotional unavailability and commitment issues - told you that your sensitive nature is a flaw, or a weakness,
it is living your life in a manner of writing love letters to your own softness, and your immense capacity for delivering healing unto yourself and others by way of this gift of sensitivity,
🐟
and so, I fully own and embrace all the witchy, weirdo, crybaby, mystical watery magic that comes in being who I am
Oh my goodness Oorja, I love this!! I want this love letter to the depths of the water inside to live in a treasure chest in my bedroom, filled with sea shells. I want to be able to come back to it anytime I feel ashamed or rejecting of my sensitivity.
This feels like the gentlest of reminders, a cool soothing balm and permission to dive in and go for a swim. I had to read it twice, to allow the poetic and oceanic words to truly sink in.
I honestly adore this piece and I don’t know how to fully express it!
A few of my favourite parts were…
“it is to be turned on by vulnerability instead of terrified by it”
“it is to possess the emotional depth of an endless, wild, roaring, all-consuming, full moon high tide ocean - in everything you're passionate about, everything you do, and most importantly, the way you love everyone you love,”
“it is to swim in depths of vulnerability that most people would drown in”
“it is living your life in a manner of writing love letters to your own softness”
Ahhh… I will to come back to this piece often and float in its poignant waters.
