For me, it goes back to Pluto in Capricorn, - the parts of our society that tied our worth, and our egos to what we do to make a living needs to die. Because that is part of capitalism, and we need to find our worth and value outside of perceived success in career.

Even if intellectually we understand that this is a systemic issue, that is affecting many people across many fields, it can be hard not to take it as a sign of personal failure. And that can drudge up all kinds of bad feelings.

In my work, as a tarot reader, in the last year, a major theme that has come up is peoples feelings of hopelessness and low self-worth, because they can’t make a living in the field that they are dedicated to anymore.

For bigots and hate mongers, especially wealthy and powerful ones who create & uphold the state causing this for-mentioned violence, I’ve come up empty.

as much as I want to be forgiving of someone who crossed boundaries while having a mental health crisis (as I myself have done before, so I empathize) - it changes ones experience of safety with that person- and hearing they've changed is bittersweet-

as in, I will trade with you.
