The Politics of Crime

Recently I published an article that uses a thought experiment examining what would happen if all Black Americans left the country. I explored this to examine what the effects would be on America's economic and cultural landscape. The goal was to inspire a meaningful discussion, but as is often the case with online content, it also attracted some deeply negative and illogical comments. One comment stood out as a stark example of the type of vitriol that often derails productive conversation. The person commented,

“How about consider how devastating it would be if white people disappeared from the planet like you want them to? The welfare state collapses and African countries waiting for food shipments starve. The internet fails. Black people have no one left to blame for why they shoot each other in the streets of Chicago.”

It's often hard to tell which is more dangerous: a clever mind using misinformation as a tool of provocation, or a genuinely misinformed one, mindlessly spreading harmful rhetoric. This particular comment was a perfect case study. In just a few short lines, it managed to spin a breathtaking web of falsehoods. He implied I wanted to see white people disappear from the planet, then rattled off a list of absurd consequences that would follow: the collapse of the welfare state, starving African nations, and the failure of the internet.

But the final jab, about "why they shoot each other in the streets of Chicago," was the one that prompted me to write this article. This age-old, racist trope was particularly significant given the recent deployment of troops in Washington D.C., with "rampant crime" used as a flimsy excuse. It’s a painful reminder of how easily these online fictions can be weaponized to justify real-world actions and perpetuate long-standing prejudice.

Throughout American history, the issue of crime has been a potent political tool, often framed as a "war" that requires a punitive, force-based response. This rhetoric, frequently dubbed "tough on crime" or "law and order," has been particularly prominent when addressing crime in urban areas with significant Black populations. Politicians have used this narrative to justify the militarization of police, increased surveillance, and even the deployment of military troops, as seen in recent actions by the current administration. This approach, however, stands in stark contrast to the sociological perspective, which posits that crime is a symptom of deep-seated socioeconomic issues; most notably poverty. This paper explores the validity of these competing views, examining the political narrative of a racial propensity for crime against the evidence that links crime to poverty, and considering whether the focus on increased force is more about social control than genuine crime reduction.

The "War on Crime" Narrative and Racialized Rhetoric

The "war on crime" is not a new concept. It gained national prominence in the mid-20th century as a response to civil unrest and rising crime rates, often implicitly and explicitly linking crime to race. This narrative has been effectively deployed by politicians who argue that certain populations, particularly Black urban communities, have a higher propensity for crime. The focus on "Black on Black crime" is a cornerstone of this argument. This statistic, often cited to highlight a moral failing within the Black community, points to a high number of homicides where both the victim and the perpetrator are Black. For example, according to FBI data, in 2021, 54.7% of homicide victims were Black, and 56.4% of known homicide offenders were Black.

This narrative is also a powerful political strategy. For conservative politicians, a "law and order" agenda allows them to ingratiate themselves with white constituents who have historically harbored fears of the Black population. This fear was not accidental; it was carefully fostered by decades of narratives that painted the Black population as inherently violent and criminal. This rhetoric was a key component in justifying the systematic discrimination necessary for institutions like slavery and Jim Crow. By promising to crack down on crime, these politicians provide a sense of security and control, effectively tapping into racial anxieties without explicitly using racist language. The "Southern Strategy," famously employed by Richard Nixon, leveraged this dynamic by using coded language to appeal to white voters.

However, this statistic can be misleading without proper context. Crime, particularly violent crime, is overwhelmingly an intra-racial phenomenon. Statistics show that people tend to commit crimes against those they live near and interact with. For example, FBI statistics show that Approximately 89% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders while 81% of white victims were killed by white offenders. This reality suggests that so-called "Black on Black crime" is not a unique racial characteristic but rather a tragic reflection of residential segregation and the fact that most crime occurs within communities, regardless of racial composition.

Poverty as the Overarching Determinant

The opposing view, rooted in sociological and criminological research, argues that the most powerful predictor of crime is not race, but poverty. This perspective highlights the conditions created by systemic poverty, such as a lack of economic opportunity, inadequate education, and insufficient social services, as the true drivers of criminal behavior. When basic needs like food, housing, and healthcare are not met, individuals may turn to illegal means for survival. This is an issue that affects all people living in poverty, regardless of their racial background.

The data consistently supports this link. Neighborhoods with high poverty rates, whether in urban or rural areas, and regardless of their racial majority, tend to have higher crime rates. For instance, in 2023, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a poverty rate of 8.6% for non-Hispanic whites, while the rate for Black individuals was 17.1%. This racial disparity in poverty levels directly contributes to the disparity in crime rates, as Black communities are disproportionately affected by the socioeconomic conditions that foster crime. The issue is not a racial one, but an economic one, as evidenced by high crime rates in impoverished white communities as well.

Social Control vs. Crime Control: The Broader Political and Economic Agenda

This fundamental divergence in understanding the causes of crime leads to a debate over the true purpose of increased force in minority areas. The "war on crime" approach, with its focus on aggressive policing and mass incarceration, can be viewed less as a genuine effort to reduce crime and more as a multifaceted tool for social and political control. By targeting marginalized populations with a heavy-handed, punitive response, political leaders are able to exert control over these communities while avoiding the far more difficult and expensive task of addressing the root causes of poverty. This strategy offers several benefits to a conservative agenda.

1. A Profitable and Politically Beneficial System of Mass Incarceration

The "war on crime" has led to a dramatic rise in mass incarceration, making the United States the country with the highest imprisonment rate in the world. This system serves several purposes beyond simple crime reduction. For one, it provides a stable and expanding market for the for-profit prison industry. These private companies benefit directly from higher incarceration rates, creating a powerful lobbying interest that advocates for stricter laws and longer sentences. The greater the number of prisoners, the more profitable these institutions become.

Additionally, mass incarceration serves to weaken the Black family by disproportionately removing male figures from homes and communities. When a parent, particularly a father, is incarcerated, it leaves children with a single parent, affecting their development and removing critical resources. While there are many successful examples of single-parent households, this disruption can create a cycle of instability and trauma that can lead to further challenges, including a greater likelihood of a child's involvement with the criminal justice system later in life. This outcome is a form of social control, as it diminishes the strength and resilience of a community often perceived as a political threat.

Furthermore, a criminal record often results in the disenfranchisement of citizens, as many states have laws that strip felons of their right to vote. This has a direct political consequence, as it removes a significant number of Black citizens from the electorate, reducing the collective political influence of a key voting bloc. The targeting of these communities for mass incarceration, therefore, serves a dual purpose: it gives the appearance of addressing crime while simultaneously reducing the political power of a population that historically votes against conservative interests.

2. The Daily Reality of Police Harassment and the Mental Toll

Beyond the political and economic benefits of mass incarceration, the focus on increased force also enables a system of daily harassment and surveillance that takes a severe mental toll on the Black population. The pervasive presence of police, coupled with a history of racial profiling and police brutality, creates an environment of constant stress and anxiety. The reality of being frequently stopped, questioned, or searched without cause adds a significant mental burden to individuals and communities. This daily stress contributes to higher rates of mental health issues and a persistent feeling of being an outsider in one's own country.

This system of low-level harassment acts as a form of social control. By making public spaces feel unsafe for Black individuals and by constantly reminding them of their subordinate status in the eyes of the law, the system maintains a social hierarchy. This harassment does little to prevent serious crime, but it effectively keeps a population "in line" and perpetuates the narrative of a dangerous, and therefore deserving of such treatment, group.

3. Inconsistent Policy Priorities

This perspective is reinforced by policy decisions that appear to contradict the stated goal of crime reduction. This administration's recent cuts to programs that are proven to address the root causes of crime—such as violence prevention initiatives, healthcare, and community-based support programs—undermine the claim that controlling crime is the sole objective. For example, in 2025, the Justice Department has reportedly slashed funding for over 550 organizations working on violence prevention, victim services, and mental health. These cuts will disproportionately harm low-income communities, which are most in need of such services. By defunding programs that alleviate poverty and its consequences, and instead focusing resources on law enforcement, policymakers reinforce the very conditions that lead to crime in the first place, thus ensuring a perpetual cycle that can be used for political gain. Conservatives, namely the Republican party, target the black community because the black community historically vote democratic. They see the voting power of the black community as a political threat.

Conclusion

The political narrative of the "war on crime" has consistently framed public safety as a problem to be solved through force, often leveraging racial stereotypes to justify its focus on minority communities. However, a closer look at the data reveals that crime is a complex social issue deeply intertwined with poverty and a lack of opportunity. The high rates of crime in Black urban areas are a direct result of the systemic poverty and disadvantage that are concentrated there, a reality that holds true for impoverished communities of any race. A policy approach that prioritizes increased force over addressing these root causes is not only ineffective in the long run but can also be seen as a form of social and political control. By creating a profitable system of mass incarceration, disrupting families, and maintaining a state of daily harassment, this agenda serves to marginalize and disenfranchise a specific population. A truly effective and just solution to crime would require a shift in focus from punishment to prevention, with significant investments in the social and economic programs that provide individuals with a legitimate path to prosperity.

Stepping back from the data and the history, I am reminded of the comment that first set me on this path. It wasn't merely a hateful remark; it was a perfect example of the political narrative I've deconstructed. The commenter's immediate jump to "Black on Black crime" and the supposed threat to civil order was not a coincidence. It was a clear echo of the very rhetoric that has been used for decades to justify a punitive "war on crime." This kind of vitriol isn't just about a single person's prejudice. It is a symptom of a powerful political strategy—one that uses racial anxieties to divert attention from the deep-seated socioeconomic issues that are the true determinants of crime, as I argued earlier. It is a painful testament to how effectively these online fictions can be weaponized in the real world.

☾ 8TH HOUSE RULER IN THE HOUSES ☾

before we start - shoutout to @hotdigitallegend for the inspiration! this is purely inspired by her work and her post, and also gathered from my own observations + experiences. i didn't wanna seem like i stole your idea, so thank you sincerely for the spark ᥫ᭡.

✦ 1st - you’re a real enigma, you know? your eyes are like locked doors, you defo have trust issues😭, and being around you straight up feels like walking in on a secret. your presence is very noticeable in a room, you intimidate a looot of people, nd also a lot of people are jealous of u for whatever reason.

✦ 2nd - wealth tied to others: entanglements, lovers. i honestly think you’re either gonna be marrying the richest man on the planet or gonna go bankrupt by the age of twenty..depends what planet rules your 8th house, if jupiter- DAMN you’re lucky. if saturn..don’t throw them money left and right..

✦ 3rd - wouldn’t wanna get in an argument with you..you literally remember what i said to you accidentally five years ago and you bring it up now?!!?! ; you reveal what’s hidden between the lines, seduce through talking and mental stimulation. you’re probably sapiosexual, you find intelligence sexy & people find your intelligence sexy too

✦ 4th - i..feel sorry for you? idk what i feel for you, because i doubt you even feel sad about your childhood yourself. you’re incredibly strong, mentally, because you might’ve had grown up materially weak, not very much in a poverty way, but money was actually the biggest problem in your childhood.

✦ 5th - you either have the most dramatic love life or no love life at all, there’s no in-between. romance feels like a game to you, but the stakes are real, somehow your “flings” always end up changing your whole worldview. you’re magnetic when you’re having fun, and people can get addicted to the rush you bring. you might be a sex addict lol, if ur that down bad.

✦ 6th - your work environment is never just “work,” it’s basically a soap opera. co-workers either adore you or feel threatened by you. relationships for you are built through the little things, routines, favors, “i made you coffee” type love. but you also keep exes living rent-free in your habits.

✦ 7th - every partnership you have leaves you a completely different person. you attract people who either destroy your ego or help you rebuild it from scratch. marriage? either the most transformative thing ever or a beautiful disaster. you don’t do “surface level” in love, even if you think you do. you also have troubles with your friends & whoever like knows you, acquaintances and stuff, because people tend to gossip about you.

✦ 8th - inheritances! girl you’re meant to be rich rich, okay, rich auntie energy here. inheritances, joint assets, or other people’s money always seem to be part of your life story. you’re either the type to marry rich or the type to have someone think they can use you for money… only to realize you’re ten steps ahead.

✦9th - foreign lands and lovers from faraway places change your life. you’re drawn to what’s exotic, risky, and outside your comfort zone. traveling with you is an adventure but also a test of loyalty, spiritual or philosophical connections in love hit you harder than anything physical. also you could lose your virginity abroad or w/ a foreigner.

✦ 10th - people know your name, but they don’t know the half of it. your public image has a “mystery” filter on at all times. career transformations are big for you, you might go from nothing to CEO or completely reinvent yourself more than once. success always comes with rumors attached! your co workers might as well be gossiping abt u.

✦ 11th - your friend group feels like a secret society. you don’t just make friends, you make allies. you’re kinda the mastermind type in social circles, you know everyone’s business but yours stays locked away. social influence = power for you. alsooo, what I said abt 7th house also applies to you, because 11th house is about friendships & 7th is about any relationships at all, so your friends « » may secretly hate you and pick on you.

✦ 12th - your love life could be a Netflix mystery series GIRLLL. secret relationships? check. karmic bonds? DOUBLE check. there’s always a feeling of “we’re not supposed to be doing this” in your deepest connections. you also attract lovers from past lives, whether that’s romantic or just confusing is up to the universe. you tend to be either a: a) mistress; b) be in a love triangle; c) BE the cheater & not a mistress; d) have multiple relationships at one time 😭

☽─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── ☾

okay i’m done dragging y’all’s placements! 8th house ruler is no joke..check the sign it’s in too, that’s where the real tea is!

What this New Moon in Virgo Means For You (Rising Signs)

Aries Rising

You’ve been holding your life together with threadbare systems, rituals born from chaos, order stitched over anxiety, control mistaken for care. But this New Moon wants your honesty. It’s the moment the engine stalls and you realize the machine you built to keep yourself functioning no longer wants to run. Over the next six months, something in you softens. The urgency fades. You stop mistaking exhaustion for proof of purpose. A quieter rhythm begins to emerge, less heroic, more human. You learn to tend instead of fix. You start saying no as a promise to your own nervous system. The grind loses its grip and suddenly, in the space that opens, you remember what your body feels like when it’s not bracing. You begin again, not as the warrior, but as the healer in your own hands.

Taurus Rising

You’ve been feeding everyone but yourself. Stretching sweetness across deserts, pouring warmth into rooms that never kept you warm in return. But this New Moon arrives like a quiet rebellion inside your ribcage, a reminder that joy doesn’t need to be earned to be yours. Over the next six months, the part of you that’s been waiting for permission to feel alive again starts to stir. You’ll find yourself reaching for color again, for music, for softness that doesn’t demand anything back. The child in you who once played without guilt is rising. You remember how to create without a reason. You remember that pleasure can be pure, not strategic, not selective, not survival-coded. Life starts to feel less like something to hold together and more like something to move through with messy, shameless grace. Let it be beautiful. Let it be yours.

Gemini Rising

There’s a hallway in your mind where old thoughts still echo, phrases you outgrew but never stopped repeating, worries inherited like wallpaper you forgot you could tear down. This New Moon opens the windows. Over the next six months, the air begins to change. You start noticing which ideas feel like bars, and which ones feel like bridges. You speak less to be understood and more to be free. You start writing things down to remember who you are beneath the noise. It’s a mental molting, a release of cluttered thinking, of over-apologizing, of narrating your life for someone else’s approval. The words that once kept you small begin to feel foreign in your mouth. And in their place, a new kind of language rises. Honest, unpolished, yours.

Cancer Rising

You’ve been translating your intuition into something logical just to feel safe in saying it out loud. But your inner voice was never meant to be a spreadsheet, it was always a tide, a pull, a knowing that doesn’t ask to be proven. This New Moon lays its hand on your throat and says: say it anyway. Over the next six months, the way you speak, and to whom, will shift. You start to notice which conversations nourish you, and which ones drain you like a slow leak you’ve been mistaking for loyalty. You stop answering out of habit. You stop explaining what never felt true. Some connections may fade, others deepen like dusk. But the real change is inside: your mind clears, you learn the difference between a thought and a fear. And little by little, your voice begins to sound like home.

Leo Rising

You’ve kept your worth locked in the windows of other people’s eyes, chasing reflections, performing softness, giving more than you had just to stay golden. But this New Moon changes the currency. Over the next six months, something in your value system begins to unhook from the gaze. You stop trying to be impressive. You start asking: what actually feels good? What actually feels true? Your self-trust starts to weigh more than your self-image, and the mirror loses its power. You may find yourself craving less praise, more peace. Less noise, more nourishment. You begin choosing what’s slow, what’s simple, what’s sustaining. And by the time spring returns, you’re no longer trying to glow. You’re simply learning how to stay lit from beneath the skin.

Virgo Rising

There’s a version of you that only existed to keep everything from falling apart, the reliable one, the quiet fixer, the one who knew how to stay useful even while breaking. But that version is no longer needed. This New Moon asks for a release. Over the next six months, you begin to shed the parts of yourself that were never yours to maintain. You stop translating your needs into neat, palatable requests. You stop turning your healing into homework. Something simpler begins to emerge. You may find yourself walking away from what once defined you: the titles, the tasks, the roles that always kept you needed but never truly seen. And in their place: an unfamiliar but undeniable sense of self. Raw, unproofed, and finally alive on your own terms.

Libra Rising

There’s a kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from doing too much but from holding in too much for too long. This New Moon slips behind the curtain of your composure and touches the part of you that’s been silently unraveling. Not falling apart, just tired of keeping it all tucked in. Over the next six months, you begin to exhale truths you’ve never let yourself say out loud. You notice what drains you when no one’s watching. You name what hurts without needing it to make sense. The healing doesn’t happen in public, it happens in the small, unglamorous ways you stop abandoning yourself. You’ll learn to rest without earning it. To fall apart without fearing you’ll disappear. And from the pieces you thought you had to hide, a softer kind of power starts to form, not because you put yourself back together, but because you no longer need to.

Scorpio Rising

You thought you were moving forward, but something’s been looping under the surface, a pact you made with the past that keeps redrawing your future in the same shapes. This New Moon doesn’t whisper change, it snaps it. A fracture through the social architecture you’ve outgrown. Over the next six months, the scaffolding around your belonging starts to fall, the plans that were really just protections, the friendships that felt like old coats you forgot to take off. But this isn’t exile, it’s clearance. You stop trying to be strategic about who you become. You stop managing your proximity to other people’s approval. It might feel lonely at first, like you're falling through a gap no one else can see. But then something flickers, not a light at the end, but a light within the fall itself. You realize you’re not meant to be held together by recognition. You’re meant to be remade by release.

Sagittarius Rising

You’ve been moving fast enough to keep the questions quiet, building, searching, leaping into meaning like it would rescue you from the doubt still nesting under your ribs. But this New Moon is an erasure. The outlines of certainty blur, the coordinates shift. And over the next six months, what once felt like purpose begins to feel like performance. You stop chasing the version of success that only exists from far away. You stop needing your future to impress anyone. You’ll begin to tell the truth more slowly. You’ll crave wonder that doesn’t need to be explained. And somewhere along the way, you’ll find that the direction you were meant to go wasn’t forward or upward, it was inward, all along.

Capricorn Rising

There’s a kind of success that doesn’t look like achievement, it looks like not needing to be the one who holds the ceiling up while everyone else leans in. This New Moon cracks a pressure you forgot you were under. Over the next six months, your sense of direction begins to warp, not because you’re lost, but because you’re finally telling the truth about what doesn’t move you anymore. The titles you used to chase sound hollow. The praise you used to crave falls flat. A quieter kind of leadership starts to call you, one built on presence, not performance. You’ll stop reaching for the next thing just to feel less empty. And you’ll begin choosing what steadies you instead of what proves you. Less empire. More earth.

Aquarius Rising

You’ve been carrying secrets like spare batteries, storing grief in quiet compartments, telling yourself you’d deal with it when things got lighter. But they haven’t. And this New Moon doesn’t ask you to explain. It asks you to empty. Over the next six months, you begin to release what you couldn’t name: the patterns you inherited without permission, the debts you paid with your own silence. It’s not about breaking down, it’s about breaking open. You’ll find yourself drawn to softness that doesn’t need an audience. Healing that isn’t part of a theory. Safety that doesn’t feel like control. This is your invitation to grieve without translating, to forgive without forgetting, to let something go without needing to replace it. What you find at the bottom isn’t a shadow, but your own hand, reaching back.

Pisces Rising

There’s a mirror you’ve been avoiding because you’ve been everyone else for so long, you forgot what your own shape looks like. This New Moon lays that mirror flat across your relationships, and asks: Where do you disappear when you try to stay? Over the next six months, connection stops meaning compromise. You start noticing the subtle ways you abandon yourself, the way you nod through discomfort, soften into silence, become smaller just to keep someone close. But now, staying requires something else: self-definition. You’ll speak when you would’ve swallowed. You’ll stay when you would’ve floated. You’ll ask for what you need before it turns into resentment. This is a re-entry. You are learning to meet others without leaving yourself behind.

𝔑𝔢𝔭𝔱𝔲𝔫𝔢 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔊𝔩𝔞𝔪𝔬𝔲𝔯

So when it comes to sex appeal and your desirability an asteroid like Lilith will show your rawest, femme fatale energy, whereas Venus shows you what makes you the girl next door. Well Neptune is a little different because it shows your timeless, glamourous, movie star vibe. Like what makes you otherworldly to others.

Neptune 1h: your whole aura feels very dreamy to other people. like you've probably been told that you "dont feel real" or when people are around you they feel like they're in a movie. you can shapeshift into what you think people expect from you which is obv seductive, but you often feel lost and unsure of who you really are

Neptune 2h: your self worth is very dependent on how others perceive you. so you can go from thinking you're the hottest to thinking you're a piece of shit. stop listening to others like you know who TF you are so fuck them. People are turned on by your voice like you're a siren or something. Its harmonious and people like how your tone changes depending on your mood. People love how sensual you are.

Neptune 3h: It might be difficult for you to verbally express your boundaries so pls practice saying "FUCK NO". Anyways similar to 2nd house you have that siren aspect as well bc your voice is sexy, but its more about how you articulate yourself, the words you use, your vibe in texts, your handwriting. Your charm is witty and playful which people adore.

Neptune 4h: People become obsessed with the intimacy you create. Even when you're being casual you have this aura that radiates a very deep, rich inner world. People probably feel like you can see through them which makes them feel safe and seen. They might fantasize about having a family and home with you even early on. You prob have family secrets.

Neptune 5h: people feel like they are in the presence of someone very special when they are around you. It feels very magical and fun. You bring creativity, art, music and merge it with romance which makes others feel like they are in your world.

Neptune 6h: u make mundane tasks like grocery shopping or going to the gym feel magical. If you actually started paying attention during your daily activities (ik you don't bc ur always zoning out) then you would notice that the majority of people you encounter on a regular basis probably have a crush on you. bc they are obsessed with seeing the pretty fairy girl going about her day.

Neptune 7h: everyone you date never gets over you i promise lmao. even ur enemies are secretly obsessed and in love. this one is kinda hard bc you really need to be careful who you date. u tend to attract ppl who will cross your boundaries, not truly see u, or use you. people become obsessed with you bc you are naturally elusive in one on one relationships which makes you unpredictable which is a v seductive quality.

Neptune 8h: ur the erotic obsession. like im sorry to be blunt but people's fantasies about you are always deeply sexually. People project the craziest things about u and always wrong LMAO. No one knows u not even U! be careful who you fuck bc they could become obsessed or a stalker. Men might hate u bc you make them fantasize about shit that embarrasses them and women hate u bc they think ur trying to steal their ugly ass man

Neptune 9h: pls dont fuck your college professor or a spiritual guru that's secretly a narcissist or join a cult bc thats what this placement screams to me. people obsess over u bc ur adventurous, you are well travelled but not only that you actually go to other countries and explore the country and meet the locals you don't just stay at the hotel like a lame ass bitch. higher education might not be for you. have boundaries with your professors or anyone you are getting spiritual advice from they are the types to take advantage of u.

Neptune 10h: the sexual tension between u and your boss lmao. but its not fun like they hate you and want to control you but also want to fuck. this goes for all authority figures tbh. have strong boundaries with everyone. the rumors will be "she slept her way to the top" and people just projecting all sorts of shit about you. ur literally a fantasy to ppl and people are always trying to find shit out about you.

Neptune 11h: online it girl! you are so seductive in group and online settings like ppl find you so iconic. like this is the placement that has fans. the problem is ppl really project shit onto you and ur online persona. so ur fans can turn on you if you disappoint them in some way. fuck them only god can cancel u.

Neptune 12h: bitch u are a psychic/mystic/witch. you can read everyone and people feel seen by you including evil people so u might notice you make a lot of people angry just by existing bc the 12h is the unseen realm ur bringing out the shit people keep buried. you are the secret obsession for people. you live in people's heads rent free bc they really don't get u at all but at the same time feel like u know everything about them.

Your destiny:

For this post we are going to look at asteroid Destinn (6583) in your chart

— Destinn in the 1st house: A destiny where you don't shy away from your true self nor from showing your authentic self to the world. A destiny where you are pushed to find yourself beyond any projections from others

— Destinn in the 2nd house: A destiny in which you build stability and comfort for yourself and your loved ones. Beyond any material/financial stability you can accumulate, you are also pushed to create a strong sense of self-worth and self-love

— Destinn in the 3rd house: A destiny in which you eagerly accumulate knowledge and then you share it with the others. In which you never stop questioning and you never stop answering with a smile on your face. A life full of lessons and community

— Destinn in the 4th house: A destiny in which you dive deep into your family's lineage and your ancestral patterns. A mission in which you either choose to hold your family close to your heart all the time, or you choose to find your own soul's true family

— Destinn in the 5th house: A destiny full of creativity, laughter and talents. A 2 ticket ride with you and your inner child. A destiny where you're the main star in your own story and you paint your life with all the laughter in the world

— Destinn in the 6th house: A destiny where you serve yourself with all the kindness in the world. In which you dedicate yourself to your work and work ethic, and rip the benefits of your hard work. A destiny in which you take care of yourself and your loved ones

— Destinn in the 7th house: A destiny full of human connections. Where all the lovers, friends and enemies you have teach you valuable lessons, lessons that you will look back and be grateful for. A mission to explore how your interpersonal relationships reflect back on yourself

— Destinn in the 8th house: A destiny full of mystery and where the darkness unravels. Where you are not afraid to face whatever shadows you hold inside your head. An entire life in which you learn to face the intensity of your own soul

— Destinn in the 9th house: A destiny full of spirituality, culture and philosophy. In which your mind and soul know no borders whatsoever. In which you connect with people that expand your views and your heart even more

— Destinn in the 10th house: A destiny in which you leave behind a new road. A life of dedication to your desired career, in which after that you leave behind a legacy for the new generations to come and develop it to the next level

— Destinn in the 11th house: A destiny where you are pushed to connect. To connect with communities. To connect to a bigger cause. To connect to the new and modern. A destiny where you connect to your future hopes and aspirations.

— Destinn in the 12th house: A destiny where you no longer shy away from your subconscious brain. Where you dissect yourself, your thoughts, your patterns, your intuition and the unseen forces around you. Where you come face to face with the hidden parts of you

Thank you for reading till the end! I hope this post finds you well!
