after over 3 weeks of seeming to go backwards (like why?!), mercury stations direct today!
and i’m probably in the minority when I say that, on the whole, it’s been good for me. it probably helped that mercury has been hanging out in pisces. (feel free to hate me for this): the trains had never been kinder to me and that’s just one light (but impt!) example of feeling in sync with the things.
but when the sun shifted to #ariesszn, this ease started to crumble a bit. all the bumps in the road became super present & annoying where they had faded into background noise easily in prior weeks.
so the easy narrative might be that this big sun shift was a small test on how the patience and smoothness I had found in the dailyness of tryna be (feel free to stop reading, like now lol). idk if I ‘passed’ if this was the thing
an even cheesier thread to surface is how these big/small/medium shifts are putting in sharper relief my attunements to myself, the things near me, and everything else that revolves around me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;) ;) ;)
light a fire y’all, it’s Aries season!

and just finished Chemistry by Weike Wang, which reminded me in some ways of So Many Olympic Exertions by Anelise Chen, which I read last year. Read Larissa Pham’s quick drawing of parallels on failure between the two in a longer response to Severance by Ling Ma (previously s/o’d in this slushie)
goodbye march 🔥🔥
