Ever caught yourself staring up at the stars, wondering if the celestial bodies are nudging you towards that gloomy cloud of pessimism or pushing you under the sunbeam of optimism? Well, Tonya’s comment back in the day, when Venus was dancing awkwardly with Pluto, might just resonate with you. It’s like she channeled the cosmic grump in all of us, pointing out, “You know what? Not everyone’s dusting unicorns and rainbows all day. Some of us are living in the real world where troubles multiply like those gremlins after midnight” – even if you think they were dealt with, they come back with reinforcements, and no wonder why pessimists and optimists clash like chalk and cheese.
But here’s where all it gets delightfully twisted, because for me, while Neptune might be urging me to dive into despair’s murky pool, I’ve found myself a natural school of fish of depressive types – but hey, who’s calling them pessimistic? If you've ever wondered if your sun is on vacation due to certain astrological alignments, or perhaps it's just a gloomy day in your chart, then delve into Tonya's insights and my own cosmic balancing act. LEARN MORE.
Tonya wrote on Venus Inconjunct Pluto – Projection in 2015:
“The bottom line is that not everyone is an optimist. There are those of us that are pessimists or what I call realists. The crap seems to keep coming and no matter what one tries to do to stop it, it keeps coming. Troubles are multiplying for a lot of folks and the saying is true that misery loves company and then there is the fact that Pessimists and Optimists just can’t get along, because they irritate each other to no end.”
Very interesting comment. Thank you!
I tend to attract depressive people. I’ve never thought of them as pessimistic, though. We seem to balance each other. It seems some people expect to get along with others and some people do not.
I got my philosophy from my grandfather, Henry, who taught me that most people are good. He said you should treat everyone as a friend until and unless they proved to be “disagreeable”. I’ve done this all my life and it’s served me beautifully. Your expectations have a lot to do with what actually occurs in your life.
Another point: I could never do this job if I did not feel confident I could relate to whoever might hire me. This includes people from all over the world!
My grandfather set me up for success on this front. I not only expect to get along with a stranger. I expect to enjoy a mutual benefit from the interaction, one hundred percent of the time. It’s a rare that things go badly.
This may be courtesy the Venus Mars sextile in my chart. People underrate things like that.
Are you an optimist or a pessimist (realist)? When meeting someone new, do you expect to be able to connect with them in a way that is positive? What’s the astrology?
