When parents ask "Is my child intelligent?" they're really asking, "Can my kid score well on tests? Think quickly? Win arguments?"They're measuring Mercury: logic, data, processing speed. They want to know if their child is a good computer, but they're asking the wrong question entirely.

They told you manifestation was about positive vibes only. That healing meant forgiving everyone who hurt you. That spiritual growth required you to transcend your anger and "rise above" your messy human emotions.

You were told she was a victim who became a voice. You were sold the narrative of the underdog who overcame. You were given the performance of vulnerability wrapped in a billion dollar brand.

There's a narrative going viral right now about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. You've probably seen it. The take goes like this: "Successful woman makes man famous. Man's ego can't handle it. Man destroys woman for giving him power." It sounds feminist. It sounds like accountability. It sounds like it's naming patriarchy and protecting women but It's actually the opposite.

You know that feeling when you can't figure out why you keep doing things that hurt you? When one part of you wants love and another part sabotages every good thing that comes your way? Your birth chart may be revealing exactly where those internal conflicts are occurring.

Your anxiety is a "low vibration." Your anger means you're "not healed." Your sadness proves you're "not manifesting correctly." Your pain is a personal failure to transcend.

This isn't another opportunity for spiritual bypassing. Neptune's retrograde through Aries is a system reset for your identity—and it will expose every place you've been lying to yourself. No ascendant escapes unscathed.
