When Someone Throws Shade Your Way: How to Decode Contempt Like a Zodiac-Savvy Life Coach

Added on June 17, 2025 inASTROLOGY CARDS

Ever had that moment when someone looks at you like you just crashed their private party wearing socks with sandals? That, my friends, is contempt—a feeling so potent it could burn through a steel door. Picture this: I’m minding my own biz, dogs going full alarm mode, when there’s a knock. Two women stand on my porch, and oh boy, one’s face could curdle milk with that look of utter disdain. Why? Who knows. Maybe it’s my backyard, my dogs, or just a cosmic joke delivered by Mercury’s latest mischievous dance. The kicker? She turns out to be an obsessed fan from outta state who reads my blog—and oh, she’s got a bee in her bonnet about my husband. Contempt, as it turns out, isn’t just a tiff—it’s a flashing neon divorce sign and a hint at some serious psychological drama. So, what’s your take on contempt? Ever felt it, dished it out, or had it thrown at you? And for the astrology buffs: what celestial shenanigans brew contempt in the stars? Ready for the full scoop? LEARN MORE

ContemptContempt – noun
“the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn.”

Some months ago, I was home alone when there was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, with the dogs barking.  They’re annoying in this regard!

I could see two figures through the decorative glass alongside the door. I opened the door and stepped out on the porch, shutting the door to keep the dogs inside. It’s impossible to converse, otherwise. In the space of this motion; well as soon as I opened the door,  I noted, I’d be greeting two women.  One of them had contempt for me.

I didn’t know why she felt this scorn. Apparently I’d done something or she thought I’d done something.  I expected to find out, what, imminently.  Since I don’t do anything to anyone, I thought this was going to be about one of the dogs. Or maybe she did not like my look?

My dogs don’t do anything either.  We all live in the country. Get the picture? I had no idea.

This is related to yesterday’s post, if you can’t tell.  A woman who clearly loathes me, for an unknown reason, is standing on my front porch along with a friend? They did not seem like Jehovah’s Witnesses so I just didn’t know.   For reference, this is yesterday’s post:

The woman asked if my husband were home, which surprised me.  She wanted, “him” not “us”, I could tell. I was wondering, who’s asking, but I decided to be forthright.  “He’s not home,” I said.

“Well, where is he?” she asked.  There goes the hair on the back of my neck.

“I don’t know,” I said, lying, but not really.  He was running errands. I didn’t know if he was in a store, on the road, or what. “I’m his wife.  Can I help you?  I can get a message to him,” I offered.

“No,” she said. She glanced at her friend, sharply.   I could read her mind, but never mind that.  I could see, positively, my first impression was correct. This woman despised me.

The two friends; one a leader, the other, a follower, stepped back.  I could see they were going to leave… just leave and nothing else, so I asked.  “Who are you? I’ll tell him you stopped by.  If you want to leave a number, I’ll have him call you when he gets home.”

“No,” she said.

“I can’t tell him who stopped by?  He’ll want to know who stopped by,” I said.  I told you I could read her mind.  She cared what he thought, see?

She looked at me, disdainfully, “XXXXX.  Tell him, XXXXX, stopped by.”  The name was unfamiliar.

The women backed off the porch and headed down the walk.  I realized I had the garage doors open.  They’d be parted in front of them, so I quickly went into the kitchen to close them.  Privacy! The doors came down as the were getting in their car.  I was aware, it sent a signal, I was securing the perimeter. With that done, I immediately called my husband…

I don’t know that I will go into the whole story, it’s the contempt that interests me. But I will tell you, the woman turned out to be from another state.  Further, this turned into a full-blown stalking situation, that persisted for months.  Yes, I am telling you a woman who reads my blog, drove in from another state, because she’s in love with husband.  And this is the reason for the contempt. I’m the bitch in the way of her living out her delusion.

Now I’m not worried about my husband and this woman, or my husband and any woman. He’s clean in this. The question that matters in my mind is how crazy is she? What might she do to me, to gain access to him?

I told a client about this, explaining, it was the contempt on her face that caused me concern.  Contempt is a strong signal, not to be ignored, in my world.  I

I do have a random factoid on this. Contempt is a reliable indicator of divorce.  If you’re fighting with your spouse and you want to stay married, you never want to let things get to the point.

What do you know about contempt? Have you ever held contempt for another person? Does someone hold contempt for you?  What’s the astrology here?
