Hi! Thanks for being here. Virgo season (Aug 22 - Sept 22) ends tomorrow, and I’m not even that sad about it tbh because Libra season means the beginning of fall. This newsletter has a slightly different format than the other astrology season posts, but you can still find Libra season’s upcoming astrology at the end. If you would like to wish me a happy belated birthday, you can like this post and subscribe to my newsletter if you haven’t already :)
I’m grateful for another solar return and I’m excited about being ✨a thirtysomething✨ now. I’ve read a handful of “X things I know at X” posts before, and I wanted to challenge myself to make one. I don’t know if I actually know thirty-one things though — that’s kind of a lot of things?
I wanted to do it a little differently with some things that have been on my mind lately / this past year. It’s Virgo season, so here’s a list:
I know Palestine should be free
I know when I’m feeling healthy I shouldn’t take it for granted, and I want to keep reminding myself of this in the times when I do feel more stable, mentally and physically
I don’t know what hair product will actually keep my curly hair from getting frizzy. I’ve tried several and none of them can cut it against Southern humidity. Please leave a comment if there’s something that works well for you!
I know it helps to stretch and do some mobility exercises regularly, especially since I’m (*whispers*) getting older
I don’t know why I’m attracted to unavailability and avoidant attachment tendencies, among other things that make me feel like someone does not like me all that much
I know capitalism is killing us
I don’t know when I’ll stop feeling like I’m always hustling and grinding, or if that’ll ever happen
I know I’m blessed to be a dyke
I don’t know why healing is so boooringgg a lot of the time
I know you can take a break from creating anything, even for years, and the creativity will most likely still be there ready for you when you come back
I don’t know if I’ll ever feel confident about using semicolons — I’m an em dash girl all the way
I know that regardless of how things ended, and even if it’s for the best, you can still feel upset/angry/however you’re feeling because the friendship or relationship is over
I don’t know how to have a better relationship to my phone and keep my screen time down
I know the idea that we don’t owe each other anything is bullshit, and it can be deeply fulfilling to offer care and companionship to friends and loved ones, and often to strangers too
I don’t know what we have if we don’t have each other
I know my thoughts and feelings don’t define me
I know I love signs, synchronicities, and messages in my dreams
I don’t know as much about astrology as I’d like to
I don’t know how to give myself closure a lot of the time when it isn’t given to me
I know scissoring is pretty great
I know I always need to have at least a little something to look forward to
I don’t know how to love my body or feel present in it every day
I know how to try to be a good friend
I don’t know if I’m actually as messy of a person as I sometimes think and say I am
I know I have my mom’s good skin and love of baking, but I have her health anxiety and tendency to take things personally as well
I know that since I’ve been working on developing my intuition, I should probably actually listen to it more
I don’t know why people are so afraid of their thirties
I know I can make it through just about anything if there’s someone cute there
I don’t know if “omg you’re so pretty!” is really the best we can do at flirting, lesbians
I know that love exists because I am full of it!!!
I know I’m grateful to be here
