BY REQUEST #8 POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL SIGNS

Babies are asking which signs are the most powerful and influential. They wanna know which bad boy is badder than all the others. There are different ways to think about this so I’m gonna come at this shit from three different angles.

(1) EVERY SIGN IS POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL

Before you try to get all “that’s copping out, bitch” just relax. As always: every sign is the same fucking energy looked at from a different perspective. Different phase, same shit. The truth that none of us bitches want to accept is that there is no cure-all way to do shit. You gotta find a way to make what you got work for you.

If you want to be powerful, you gotta look at your energy, figure out how that shit wants to work, and then work with it. For example(s): Aries power works in a secret ass, intuitive, very internal way - Aries heavy people gotta learn to respect themselves to really tap into their energy. Aquarius power works in a brilliant, perceptive, “seeing the forest for the trees” type way - Aquarius heavy people gotta learn how to manage their fucking lives so they have the space to think and plan clearly. Leo power works in an expressive, charming, inspirational way - Leo heavy people need to get a fucking grip so they can direct their energy where they want it to go or their shit is a gross mess.

The point is: all these fools are powerful in their own way.No sign is inherently more powerful than any other. Even the most Pisces mf can still influence the shit out of a bitch with their pure sensitivity if they’re willing to get a fucking backbone in place. You get the picture.

(2) EARTH SIGNS

Now go ahead and ignore all that wise shit above and let’s talk facts and figures: the Earth signs deal with power in the way we all got conditioned to think of it: money, beauty, resources, skill. I mean, they are the Earth signs and we are on the Earth - if anyone is ready to step up and run this shit I’d hope it’d be the Earth crew or else we’re really lost in the sauce.

But the truth is, the Earth trinity isn’t the most influential because they got the material goods, it’s because they embody our values, and the shit that we value has power and influence over us. Values are the structure we build our lives from. If you value money, your desire for resources is gonna control your decisions; if you value ethics, your desire to be a good (or bad) person is gonna control every move you make. Your life takes the shape of your values - this is where the Earth signs get their power. Capricorn controls collective values, Taurus controls personal values, and Virgo goes both ways.

If you’re trying to crush it in this physical existence, you gotta work with the Earth. Everyone has these three playing out somewhere in their chart, so everyone has these three playing out somewhere in their life. Where the Earth signs fall in your chart show both were you have the potential to take control and run your own life, and also where you’re succeptible to manipulation and external control.

(3) CAPRICORN OG

When it comes to power and control, collective values and social norms run our behavior. We love to give our power away, it’s literally our favorite pastime. This is why Capricorn really rises above the rest in the Influence and Power category. We’re more than willing to let anybody other than ourselves decide what’s right and good and worth valuing, and Crusty Cap is waiting with a stockpile of social norms to control your behavior until the end times.

Power is in right now. Influence, coercion, breaking down institutional narratives are also in. Why?Well. If you look at the fucking stars, you already know that Pluto and Saturn are both in Capricorn - the Earthiest, most structured, most crusty, most powerful mf in the game. People, it’s no fucking surprise that institutions are in (or out), that collective norms and the very structures and concepts that our fucking societies were built on are under review. It’s because we’re in the middle of a total societal overhaul and restructuring (Pluto and Saturn) ofcollective values (Capricorn). Our institutions are changing right now - our shared definitions of family, individuality, and what a “good life” looks like are changing, too - and so the values that we all share as a community, the values that regulate our behavior and self-image, are currently undergoing a complete transformation. It happens from time to time, enjoy the ride.

So there you go, bitches. Power three ways. Open faced facts for your ass.
