Ever wonder if you can really bend reality to your will—or if it’s all just mind tricks and cosmic daydreams? Well, I’ve been poking around this idea of “bending the road,” and it’s wild how it’s often lumped together with the Law of Assumption. Spoiler alert: they might aim for the same destination, but they take wildly different routes. The Law of Assumption is the sort of mental ninja, reshaping life from inside your head with imagination and feelings—a one-person show of subconscious rewrites. Meanwhile, bending the road is like a dance with the universe; you step out, adjust your moves in real life, and the path shifts beneath you. No magic wand, just guts, grit, and the audacity to push against the world you don’t love until it gives way. With Mars and Mercury in the 9th house lighting up this cosmic playground, it’s no surprise I’m all about getting my hands dirty shaping reality—not just wishing it better.

I’ve been writing about “bending the road” with your will. B mentioned the “Law of Assumption” here. I thought it would be interesting to look at this. While these ideas may lead you to the same outcome, they are actually diametrically opposed.
The Law of Assumption is about internal control. The primary work is done in the theater of your own mind, through imagination, feeling, and subconscious reprogramming. Change your mind and reality will follow.
In contrast, “Bending the road” is interactive. Change your actions in reality, and the path will meet you. You’ve got to comfortable with uncertainty. You become a pathfinder. You’re agree to step out, the path appears beneath your feet.
I don’t have experience with the Law of Assumption. I have a lifetime of experience with bending the road and I can tell you how it works.
I’m fifteen years old, living in the middle of the desert. My father places a very used toilet with the names of 17 men he’d gotten fired, written on it in black marker, in the corner of the patio. I don’t want to live with this thing.
I take off, wearing a sundress and a pair of rubber sandals. No purse, no money, no anything. I was simply going to make it work, though I had no ideas at the time.
See it like this: I have a reality. I don’t like the reality, so I push against it and it bends.
I tried to get someone to hire me as an astrologer / writer on the internet. NO! Again, I pushed out and this blog came to me.
All these years later, I don’t like what a certain multi-billion dollar corporation is doing. I was standing in front of the Post Office when it opened, waiting to send the letter that I knew would bend the road. Ultimate result? Who knows?
You see, this has nothing to do with wishing or believing something into being, though I’ve nothing bad to say about that. It’s just not this.
Personally, I push in this way when I just can’t live with what is. Reality is competitive. You have to have the courage to change course. It’s about persisting in a dialogue in a world with other actors, random events and inherent structures. You create friction, conflict, and you form alliances. You have influence, but you don’t have ultimate control. For example, I write about this. How you respond is unknown.
Astrologically, it’s apparent why I opt for this model. Mars Mercury in the 9th house. I’m going to get out there in that game. I’ve been like this since I was three years old; my earliest memory.
