Are You Gaslighting Yourself? We talk about gaslighting in relationships, but have you ever caught yourself doing it… to yourself? 🚩 “Maybe I’m just overreacting.” 🚩 “I shouldn’t feel this way.” 🚩 “It wasn’t that bad.” 🚩 “I’m just being too sensitive Self-gaslighting happens when we dismiss our own feelings and experiences. But your emotions are valid. Your pain is real. And you don’t need to justify your feelings to anyone—not even yourself. 💡 Instead of brushing off your emotions, try this: ✅ “It’s okay to feel this way.” ✅ “My feelings matter.” ✅ “I deserve to acknowledge my experiences.” 💬 Have you ever caught yourself self-gaslighting? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

Top discussion💫 What Are Friday Emotions & Venus Work — And How Can They Transform Your Life? What’s the Connection Between Fridays and Venus Energy? Fridays aren’t just the end of the workweek—they’re energetically ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, desire, pleasure, and feminine energy. In astrology, each day of the week is associated with a planetary influence, and Friday is Venus’s domain. What Is Venus Work, Really? “Venus Work” refers to the intentional act of nurturing your feminine essence, regardless of your gender. It’s about cultivating self-worth, sensuality, softness, creativity, and emotional depth. It’s not productivity-focused—it’s receptivity-focused. In a world that glorifies hustle and logic, Venus Work is the counterbalance. It invites you to explore: - How do I receive love? - How do I express beauty? - Where am I denying pleasure? How Can You Create a Venus Ritual for Fridays? Your Venus ritual doesn’t need to be elaborate. Think intentional pleasure. Here are ideas: - Wear something that makes you feel beautiful. - Take yourself on a solo date. - Do mirror work and affirm your worth. - Play music that moves your soul. How Does Venus Energy Influence Relationships? Venus governs how we relate—romantically, socially, and even financially. On Fridays, you’re more attuned to what you need in love and how you express affection. Questions to ask: - Am I in a relationship that honors my softness? - Do I communicate my desires clearly? - Where do I overgive and under-receive? Why Do Friday Emotions Hit Different? Ever feel extra emotional, romantic, or sensitive on a Friday? That’s Venus’s influence. When we wind down from the week, our bodies and minds become more receptive. Emotions surface, boundaries soften, and we naturally crave connection—be it with ourselves or others. This is your cue to check in, not check out. Let yourself feel. Journal. Cry. Dance. Let go of the week’s armor.
What Are Signs Your Venus Energy Is Blocked?
Signs your Venus energy may need attention:
- Difficulty receiving love or compliments
- Neglecting your appearance or pleasure
- Emotional numbness
- Chronic people-pleasing
- Fear of intimacy
What Are Friday Affirmations for Emotional Balance?
Here are a few Venus-inspired affirmations to anchor your Fridays:
- “I am worthy of love, beauty, and rest.”
- “My emotions are sacred and safe.”
- “I choose softness, not stress.”
- “Receiving is my natural state.”
- “I honor my feminine energy.”
Speak them out loud. Feel the shift.
How to Use Friday as a Weekly Ritual for Growth
Let Friday be more than “just the weekend.” Let it be your day to:
- Feel more, not less
- Create beauty, not chaos
- Reclaim your energy before the burnout
- Reflect, realign, and rest
When you commit to weekly Venus work, you begin to see long-term emotional transformation. You live softer, love deeper, and move more intentionally.
What Happens If You Ignore Venus Work?
When we dismiss Venus energy, we often feel:
- Emotionally disconnected
- Overworked and under-nourished
- Unsatisfied in relationships
- Spiritually dried out
Ignoring feminine emotional cycles creates burnout. Venus work isn't about indulgence—it's about balance.
Can Men Benefit from Venus Work Too?
Absolutely. Venus energy isn’t gendered. Men who engage in Venus work often:
- Develop emotional maturity
- Connect more deeply with partners
- Experience less stress and more joy
- Learn to value softness without shame
How Can Friday Be Your Emotional Reset?
Think of Friday as your emotional reset button. After five days of mental and physical exertion, Friday invites you to recalibrate your inner world.
Try:
- A digital detox
- Journaling with Venus-themed prompts
- Reconnecting with sensual movement (like slow yoga or dance)
It’s a mini rebirth every week.

Top discussionShadow Alchemy on Square Days: Turning Pressure into Power Unlocking the Power of Astrological Squares to Heal, Grow, and Reclaim Your Voice Introduction — What Are Square Days in Astrology? In astrology, a square occurs when two planets are 90 degrees apart — creating tension, resistance, and inner friction. These moments are emotionally intense, but they’re not punishments — they’re pressure points that reveal what’s ready for alchemy. Square Days often feel chaotic on the surface, but beneath the conflict lies a sacred opportunity for shadow work, truth-telling, and energetic transmutation. Shadow Alchemy — What Does It Mean? Shadow alchemy is the spiritual and emotional process of transforming inner wounds, fears, and unconscious patterns into self-awareness, healing, and power. Coined by the blending of Jungian psychology and esoteric practice, shadow alchemy helps you: Acknowledge suppressed parts of yourself Transmute emotional pain into insight Reclaim energy tied up in old patterns It’s not about “fixing” yourself — it’s about facing yourself. This work integrates both light and dark to help you become whole How Squares Trigger the Shadow Self Planetary squares don’t create issues — they highlight them. Like a spotlight in a dark room, they make invisible wounds suddenly visible. Square Days may feel like: Overreactions in relationships Emotional overwhelm without a clear cause Sudden conflict that “comes out of nowhere” These responses aren’t random — they are signs from your subconscious calling you to face what you’ve avoided. That’s the heart of shadow alchemy. Squares stir old memories and patterns that were previously dormant, giving you the chance to witness your reaction instead of becoming it. For example, if you feel rejected during a Venus square, it may trigger childhood abandonment wounds. Recognizing this opens the door to healing that pain rather than blaming the present moment.
What Not to Do on a Square Day
Don’t make impulsive decisions in emotional heat
Don’t isolate completely — connect to someone who sees you
Don’t suppress symptoms with substances or overwork
Instead, pause, reflect, and reach out. These days are made for introspection, spiritual check-ins, and gentle conversations.
The Role of Ritual on Square Days
Ritual grounds spiritual insight into physical form. On intense days, try:
Burn & release rituals for letting go
Cord cutting for past relationships
Ancestral prayers for karmic patterns
Conclusion — From Shadow to Sovereignty
Astrological squares are invitations — not punishments.
They stir what’s buried, break what’s false, and reveal what’s real. Shadow alchemy transforms that chaos into gold. You don’t need to face it all at once. You just need to face it one conversation at a time.
Types of Astrological Squares & Their Themes
Mars Square Moon: Emotional rage, trauma flashbacks, wounded masculine/feminine dynamics
Venus Square Saturn: Love vs. self-worth, feeling emotionally blocked
Mercury Square Neptune: Mental fog, deception, old lies resurfacing
Sun Square Pluto: Ego death, power struggles, identity transformation
Tools for Shadow Alchemy
Journaling Prompts: “What fear is behind my anger?”
Mirror Work: “What do I judge in others that I deny in myself?”
Tarot Spread: Shadow–Root–Integration
Ritual Baths: Herbs like mugwort or lavender
On a square day, you might feel:
Heightened sensitivity or defensiveness
Mood swings that feel out of control
A sense of doom or stuckness
Reactivity that surprises even you
Often, your body gives signals too — tight chest, headaches, digestive issues. These physical signs are somatic clues that energy is blocked and needs expression. Suppressing them only makes the tension grow.
Popular opinionLesson of the day : Never waste your time & energy to make other people understand how they affect you emotionally Neither argue with them about how you feel and how they have made u felt Rather ~ Just walk away, if disrespectful behaviour continues ✨ #coto #findyoursoulpath
