Tomorrow marks a month I've been off of social media. Everything that has been transpiring since October 10th for me has reinforced the fact that this new found bounty of mental relief and emotional stability I have regained over a month was a direct result of taking a step back and re-evaluating my relationship to the mediums I use for communicarion. I hope you find the clarity and relief within yourself as well. Best wishes. -Lulu

Congrats on one month Lulu! Thats so awesome and Im so glad you’re finding more mental relief and stability. October 10th was the Full Moon in Aries (ruled by that Mars in Gemini). Thank you for sharing and it’s inspiring for re-evaluating my relationship too. 🙌🏽

This Mars transit through my 12th is making me sooo weird (detail: Mars is the Lord of my year). I think I should also make some adjustments with the way I deal with social media in general. Thank you, Blaze, for the words, and take your time away from twitter. We'r gonna get through this hopefully!

Mars has been transiting my 12H on my end & it’s been… a rough ride, definitely does not help with my gemini moon 💀 I’ve also found myself revisiting my relationship with social media as a whole since the start of this transit & beginning to create distance from it & how I engage with it, which has definitely brought about some helpful insights for myself especially with regards to my mental health. As well as some other personal stuff that’s taken place. Nonetheless, I’m hoping for the best for you through this transit as well & that things get better on your end ✨

Hi, thanks for this post. I am having similar thoughts. I deactivated Twitter too and am staying off the other scrolling platforms as much as possible. I find myself getting irritated with what isn't working anymore (finally!) and appreciating more what is, evaluating the in between and assessing what I might want to risk doing even though it might not work. I also suddenly have a very renewed interest in Astrology and am going back to relearn a lot of things I thought I knew but really didn't. That has been the theme of my life for the last 3 years or more. Anyway, you are phenomenal and I appreciate what you do. I would like to see a trend to platforms where we can share knowledge and ideas and experiences and not just snapshots and opinions.

Yess I completely agree! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Ive been very dissatisfied with Twitter for a few months now and making this shift has definitely felt exhausting especially because sharing knowledge, ideas, and our experiences are so important and we don’t get the full nuance on Twitter. Very grateful to have your support 🫶🏽

Definitely feeling physically chronically depleted and sharp of tongue, but it is also bringing me low bandwidth dngaf vibes too, which is allowing me to be a bit philosophical about it all as long as I stand back.

I deleted social apps off my phone and seeing you mention that made it all make sense. What an experience to be living through this year.
