      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden</image:title>
      <image:caption>“When we have unconflicted self-esteem, joy is our motor, not fear. It is happiness that we wish to experience, not suffering that we wish to avoid. Our purpose is self-expression, not self-avoidance or self-justification. Our motive is not to “prove” our worth but to live our possibilities.” I was at home reading this book as the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2025. I had planned to go to bed early, but I stayed up past midnight because I couldn’t put it down. We’re just expected to learn and build self-esteem and self-worth as byproducts of how we move through the world—but depending on your family, the environment you grow up in, your education, the media you consume, it’s very easy for them to become compromised. Personally, I’ve always felt I had good self-esteem (self-worth had been more of a struggle in the past), but over the years, I’ve grown really curious about the conditions that encourage or harm these things.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - Ask a Matchmaker: Matchmaker Maria’s No Nonsense Guide to Dating by Maria Avgitidis</image:title>
      <image:caption>“ As the nuclear family became more important, the role of the family evolved. The goal of raising children isn't just to exponentially increase the amount of love and connection in the household or to add supportive new members to the wider social fabric. Instead, parents are essentially told their job is to effectively launch the nuclear families of tomorrow and to keep our individualist society spinning. Parents are encouraged to rear independently minded kids who will be self-supporting individuals by early adulthood. Not only should they be going to school and/or getting a "good" job, but also in their own homes and settings themselves up for financial success before their prefrontal cortex is finished settling. During this time, they should also be searching for a life partner to build their own nuclear family with. If someone hasn't "left the nest" by twenty-five, everyone involved is seen as a failure. So a lot of dating-age people are left feeling like lonely cogs in the machine of life, instead of valued humans who are allowed to ask for connection and empathy.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - The Tragedy of Heterosexuality by Jane Ward</image:title>
      <image:caption>“First, queer feminists have argued that straight life is characterized by the inescapable influence of sexism and toxic masculinity, both of which are either praised or passively tolerated in straight spaces. Second, queer observers of straight life have pointed to straight women’s endless and ineffective efforts to repair straight men and the pain of witnessing straight women’s optimism and disappointment.” I first saw Chantay Joseph—writer of the viral Vogue story “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing?”—post about this book a few weeks before her article debuted. This is definitely a book for those of us asking, “Where do we go from here?” as we look at the bleak landscape of modern dating. The chapter that I found the most fascinating examined how men have historically been socialized to hate women—we see evidence of this constantly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For by Richard Schwartz</image:title>
      <image:caption>“You can become your own healer—the special person your vulnerable parts have been waiting for. When that happens, your partner will be released from the redeemer trap and its accompanying projects, and true intimacy will be possible. This is my second-favorite book I’ve read this year—and probably the most important one for anyone who’s in, or trying to find, a romantic relationship. Written by the founder of Internal Family Systems therapy, Dr. Richard Schwartz reveals how many of us—whether we admit it or not—are looking for someone to rescue and take care of the hurt inner child within us, and to finally give us the love we never received. On top of that, we often attract the very people who will trigger that inner child again and again. This can even show up in our friendships.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - The Game of Life and How to Play It</image:title>
      <image:caption>“What man condemns in others, he attracts to himself.” I can’t remember where I first heard about this book or whether someone recommended it to me, but it’s often compared to The Secret. I don’t agree with everything in it, but I do think there’s real value in making the case for positive thinking—visualizing what you want and believing that it’s actually possible. That’s never a bad thing. That said, I genuinely believe everyone manifests differently, which is why I always encourage people to learn their Human Design. Still, having belief in yourself alone can make a world of difference.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - How to Trust and Be Trusted</image:title>
      <image:caption>Trust is a “confident relationship with the unknown.” That quote now lives rent-free in my mind. This book was recommended to me by astrologer Colin Bedell during a reading earlier this year. I’ve never considered myself someone with trust issues—if anything, I can be a little too trusting, thanks to my Taurus ascendant (Taurus energy is nothing if not loyal). But with Scorpio ruling my 7th house of committed partnership, it also takes a lot for me to fully trust someone. Botsman’s book explores how</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love by Dorothy Tennov</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Limerence can live a long life sustained by crumbs. Indeed, overfeeding is perhaps the best way to end it. It bears a definite resemblance to the condition of the laboratory rats and pigeons who continue to press the bar or peck at the disk even when the probability of food reward is gradually diminished, so that on the average only one in hundreds or even thousands (for pigeons who were very persistent and rapid peckers) of “responses” actually pays off. When the animal is presented with an uncertain relationship between its actions and the behavior of the food-delivery mechanism, quite remarkable results are obtained. Even for laboratory animals, the key elements seem to be doubt and hope. Ordinary gambling resembles this laboratory behavior in its persistence even when chances of winning are slight. Perhaps for both limerent persons and habitual gamblers, the size of the possible prize is also important. Both gamblers and limerents find reason to hope in wild dreams.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - Tantra: The Supreme Understanding by Osho</image:title>
      <image:caption>“If you remain always on the right path, you will not be celebrated by existence. You will be a simpleton; you will not be enriched by life. You will have no salt in you, you may be nutritious but no spices, you will be very simple, good, but your goodness will not have complex harmony in it. You will be a straight line, with no curves and no corners. Those curves and corners give a beauty, they make life more mysterious, they give depth. You will be shallow in your saintliness, and you will not have any depth in you. That’s why tantra says everything is beautiful. Even sin is beautiful, because sin gives depth to your saintliness. Even going astray is beautiful, because coming back becomes more enriched. This world is needed for you to move into it deeply so that you forget yourself completely and then… a coming back.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High- Functioning Codependency by Terri Cole</image:title>
      <image:caption>“A clue that all is not well comes when I ask them how they feel and they honestly don’t know. In contrast, they almost never have a problem telling me what they think about things. Not knowing how or what we feel can be a sign of disassociation from our body and lived experiences, and can be a sign of trauma. By staying in this pattern, we are unconsciously denying ourselves the full spectrum of our experiences and emotions by suppressing parts of ourselves that need our attention. Then, the pattern of tolerating mistreatment can get repeated in our careers, relationships, and friendships—and we have no idea why this trouble keeps following us around.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Joy by Dr. Judith Joseph</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Research has shown that historical traumas rooted in racial discrimination and the aftermath of war (like the Holocaust, the Civil War, slavery, the forced relocation of Native Americans, Jim Crow, and the financial impact of World War II on the United Kingdom) can have silent, negative health impacts on the descendants of those who experienced them.5 In short, our ancestors pass along trauma because trauma impacts our DNA; this is called intergenerational trauma. Passed-down trauma can have an impact not just in the next generation but also in later generations. Intergenerational trauma can impact you if your parents or grandparents were survivors of genocide or were refugees.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My point is simple: Adults will have negative opinions about you and everything you do. Let Them judge. Let Them react. Let Them doubt you. Let Them question the decisions you are making. Let Them be wrong about you. Let Them roll their eyes when you start posting videos online or you want to rewrite the manuscript for the 12th time. Instead of wasting your time worrying about them, start living your life in a way that makes you proud of yourself. Let Me do what I want to do with my one wild and precious life.” I made a video about this book earlier this year, when a few people asked me for my thoughts on it. My feelings still stand. I don’t want to shit on a book that has helped people find awareness around an issue they’re dealing with—but awareness is only really half of it. I don’t feel that</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHAT I READ IN 2025 - Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal From Distant, Rejecting, and Self-Involved Parents</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Children stay in alignment with their true self if the important adults in their lives support doing so. However, when they’re criticized or shamed, they learn to feel embarrassed by their true desires. By pretending to be what their parents want, children think they’ve found the way to win their parents’ love. They silence their true selves and instead follow the guidance of their role-selves and fantasies. In the process, they lose touch with both their inner and outer reality.” I feel like most people know this book. I actually read this years ago, but my therapist has referenced it so many times in my sessions lately that I figured it was time to refresh my</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vipassana meditation. Silence and stillness allow us to cultivate a sensitivity to our authentic vibration, freeing us from the craving for external sensation and retraining the subconscious mind out of reacting in moments of discomfort. Instead of reacting, we learn to observe ourselves with equanimity. This is how we get to the root cause of our suffering and create lasting change. Meditation is the medicine many of us are searching for outside ourselves, when the ability to heal ourselves has been within us all along. Courses are free and offered worldwide.

      <image:caption>I am well-versed in trying wellness rituals, but the two that are more active that have been very impactful for me are the breathwork popularized by David Elliott (two sharp inhales through the mouth, followed by an exhale through the mouth for 10-30 minutes), and my husband, who is in energy work, does drumming. Both of these can put me in a wild I've-left-this-dimension meditative state that I think people mainly associate with psychedelics. I've either been super relaxed and seen interesting colors or received messages (either from somewhere in my own psyche or spiritual guides, who knows!) about anything as simple as me returning to the long swims I loved as a child, to major life path epiphanies. My sister, who has a mental health degree as well as being a breathwork practitioner, sometimes holds virtual Sunday evening sessions.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have two things that I do that have completely changed my life: 1. I started riding horses again about 9 years ago. I took a super long break from horses for almost all of my twenties until I read the book, The Happiness Project. In it, some of the advice is: to be happy, do the things that you did at ten years old that made you happy. For me, that was riding. I have had a barn anywhere that I am regularly and it really does make a huge difference in my motivation and overall outlook in life. 2. I started a meditation practice about 4 years ago that I make sure I do every single day.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I came across Size Zero - A Guide to Spiritual Management by Guram Gvasalia (yes, he wrote a book!) about a decade ago, and looking back, I think it sparked my spiritual awakening. The book invites us to get rid of all concepts and beliefs that often create limitations in our perception of life, interactions, and truth, taking us back to a state ‘zero’ to reconnect with our true self. Who and how are we without everything that has been projected onto us? I loved how simple and easy it was to read and apply. It reinforced many things I believe I already knew but couldn’t word at the time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I recently had a major breakthrough after partaking in a bufo ceremony (a ritual in which toad venom is smoked for its psychedelic effects). It was a spiritual journey that has changed me on what feels like a cellular level. We don't realize how significant our ego plays into our day to day, from a small scale to large scale. I find myself recognizing my ego and facing it, loving it, protecting it, and more than anything, harnessing it. It's something we can never let go of, I think it's human nature, but it's something we can learn to live and learn from. I plan on doing a few more ceremonies when I feel called to it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I transitioned to working with a therapist who integrates EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.  I’ve found that with the introduction of EMDR and Brainspotting, I am more freed up to access my creativity, and my hunger for learning has expanded. I also feel a deeper sense of calm and a greater ability to handle life’s difficult moments. I also really love using the Walking Meditations app, which focuses on the senses by asking you to be aware of the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations around you as you walk.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My favorite ritual is starting my day with one page of brain-dump journaling, followed by placing my hand on my heart, closing my eyes, and saying to myself: "I am worthy, I am ready, I am powerful, I am deserving. My name is Madison Utendahl, and great things happen to me. Life is working in my favor." It's worth noting - this ritual is only possible because I keep my phone charged and on airplane mode in another room! I do not check my phone in the morning until I have completed my self-check-in. The core habit is phone discipline, ensuring I prioritize ME first.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of the most impactful rituals in my life has been devotional Sanskrit chanting to the Vedic Goddess (also known as Shaktism). It instantly lifts my vibration, drops me deep into my feminine energy, and clears my vessel, helping me stay grounded and tuned in, especially during stressful times. This meditative practice aligns me to be a clear intuitive channel for my clients, and it’s been a powerful anchor throughout my spiritual and wellness journey.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Human Design has been the most transformative spiritual framework I’ve ever encountered. It helped me move from constant burnout and self-doubt into a place of deep trust with myself. I used to think alignment was about doing more; now I see it’s about attuning to my natural energy and making decisions from that place of inner authority. Also, Kundalini yoga has been something I always return to. Meditation alone feels too still for me (I get bored easily), but Kundalini gives me that extra element of rhythm and fantasy that makes me feel alive.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sula moved me. It's about friendship that's soul deep, but also about the cost of existing inside of the social script and outside of it. It's also about lineage and how much of who we become is inherited and how much of our journeys we choose. It's an essential read, one I think should be revisited every five years, especially after a friend breaks your heart. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - As a 24-year-old who studied English in undergrad and recently completed a Master’s in English literature, reading and books are an immeasurable part of my life. Closing my time in school (for now) was more depressing than I expected, and I missed reading three to four books a week and preparing for discussions on those books. As a result, I founded Dwelle Literature, a book club that focuses on fiction written by women and people of color. In a world as ever-changing and unpredictable as ours, I believe in fostering community and creating safe spaces for open discussion. Dwelle is open to all readers, and you can join us at dwelleliterature.com! I also frequently post book reviews and book lists on my Substack.</image:title>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Sag Harbor by Colson Whitehead</image:title>
      <image:caption>Set in the summer of 1985, Sag Harbor follows 15-year-old Benji Cooper and his adolescent adventures in Sag Harbor: a small community of African Americans on Long Island. If you’re like me and have always wondered about this East Coast oasis, this novel details it all. Benji is awkward, curious, and desperate to be liked. His naivety, especially around girls and social cues, is entertaining and charming—perfect for your beach bag. Dwelle has selected Sag Harbor as our book for June, so join us this month in a read and discussion!</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - The Wedding by Dorothy West</image:title>
      <image:caption>In a similar vein to Sag Harbor, The Wedding by Dorothy West takes place on another private escape for upper-class African Americans: Martha’s Vineyard. This story, set in the 1950s, follows Shelby Cole and the road to her wedding, which has attracted everyone’s attention. Why? Well, against her prominent Black family’s wishes, Shelby has decided to marry a white jazz musician. Aside from the novel's remarkable exploration of class, racial, and professional dynamics amongst African Americans, The Wedding has some of the most elegant and whimsical prose I’ve ever read.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Fish Tales by Nettie Jones</image:title>
      <image:caption>Looking for a true hot girl summer read? This is it. Lewis Jones is a wild, passionate woman who lives in a consistent loop of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Each chapter presents a new lover, and I can assure you, you’ll never guess what happens next. This is not for the faint of heart! I can honestly say that I’ve never read anything like this, and for that reason, I think it’s superb.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Call Me By Your Name by Andre Aciman</image:title>
      <image:caption>Escapism at its finest. Pick this up if you’re looking for a story to transport you to the Italian Riviera. I don’t know what’s better: the enchanting countryside, the riveting conversations about academia, or the once-in-a-lifetime romantic love that blossoms between Elio and Oliver. I savoured every single page in this story, and yes, it’s better than the movie. I rarely re-read books, but I can’t wait to start this one again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Seven Days in June by Tia Williams</image:title>
      <image:caption>Taking place over seven days in Brooklyn, Eva and Shane unexpectedly reconnect and simultaneously recall their teenage love affair twenty years prior. This mature romance novel unpacks the reality of Black creatives, modern motherhood, and the kind of love that never leaves you. Seven Days in June is heart-warming and sentimental, but it is also deep and dark, so check your trigger warnings.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Junie by Erin Crosby Eckstine</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes in the summer, I prefer a big book that I can sink my teeth into and bring along with me like a travel companion. If that sounds like you, then I’d recommend Junie by Erin Crosby Eckstine. Set in 1860 on a plantation in Alabama, Junie is a historical fiction novel that follows sixteen-year-old Junie as she navigates life as an enslaved handmaid. Junie’s character is impulsive, kind, and clever, but the grief from losing her sister overwhelms her so much that it awakens her sister’s ghost. Eckstine does an incredible job of reimagining a horrific time in history in a manner that inspires hope.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Until August by Gabriel Garcia Marquez</image:title>
      <image:caption>Despite the controversy surrounding the publication of this novella, Until August is an extraordinary exploration of love and freedom. Every summer, Ana Magdalena Bach, a married woman with children, travels solo to the island where her mother is buried. What once began as an annual tribute to her mother turns into a tradition of detaching from responsibility. Every August, for one night, Ana indulges in a one-night stand with a stranger. This 100-page story is an insightful nod to the sacrifices of heterosexual marriage, motherhood, and womanhood.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - The God of the Woods by Liz Moore</image:title>
      <image:caption>You can believe the Book-Tok hype on this one! I canceled several plans last summer to stay in and read this. The story begins at a summer camp where a thirteen-year-old girl goes missing. Eerily enough, her older brother went missing fourteen years prior and was never found. The God of the Woods is a great summer read if you prefer mystery and thriller over romance. Don’t be intimidated by the length; it goes by quickly, and I didn’t see the end coming!</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Simple Passion by Annie Ernaux</image:title>
      <image:caption>At only 70 pages, this one’s for the girls with short attention spans. Written like a diary, Simple Passion exposes the mind and behavior of a woman who's obsessed with her affair with a married man. Ernaux’s writing is raw, electrifying, and deeply personal. Simple Passion is the OG situationship. How much would you risk for love?</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - YOUR SUMMER 2025 READING LIST CURATED BY ELIANA SMITH - Book Lovers by Emily Henry</image:title>
      <image:caption>I can’t talk about beach reads without mentioning Emily Henry. Hate all you want, but the girl knows how to deliver a summer romance! I’ve read four of her books, and Book Lovers is my favorite. Nora, a ferocious literary agent, heads to the tiny town of Sunshine Falls to visit her sister for the summer. There she meets Charlie, a well-known editor, who wants nothing to do with her … at first. You can guess what happens next. The plot lines in Henry’s novels are intentionally predictable because sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - WHY YOU CAN’T FEEL JOY (EVEN WHEN LIFE LOOKS GOOD) WITH DR. JUDITH JOSEPH - So let's talk about your book, High-Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy. How did you decide to write this book?   Dr. Judith: In my research lab, I was seeing a lot of people with symptoms of depression, but then when we went down on the checklist, they were over-functioning or exceeding functioning. To meet the criteria for clinical depression, you actually have to lose functioning or be in significant distress. So I thought, well, something is happening right now in physical health, longevity science is experiencing this renaissance where it's like, don't wait for the cancer, prevent it. Don't wait for the heart attack, prevent it. Don't wait for the hip to be broken, prevent it with HRT and menopause care. Why are we waiting for people to break down in mental health to do something? So why are we not a part of that whole bandwagon of prevention? Where's our renaissance? I had that epiphany as I was doing these assessments in my lab, why are we waiting for people to break down, to intervene?</image:title>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - BUILDING WEALTH IN YOUR 20s, 30s, 40s+ WITH VIVIAN TU - How does one get smart about money?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vivian: Stop being afraid of it. For so many of us, and you and I included, growing up in a way that money was a limiting factor. All of us had a huge scarcity mindset: we had to hold money, keep money, hide money, and store money because, ultimately, it's a finite resource, and you'll never be able to get any more, right? That's not true. As soon as people realize it's not true, they can make smarter decisions. So it's understanding that you can only save as much as you earn, but you can always earn more money.  In my book, Rich AF, when my publisher and I were discussing how to organize the chapters, everyone suggested that we talk about budgeting first.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - HOW A THERAPEUTIC RETREAT CHANGED JEN ATKIN’S MIND ABOUT KIDS - Did your love for hair come into play at that age?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jen: So cliche, but it was definitely Barbie. I wrote about it in my book— I was a product of the eighties, I was watching a lot of TV, I loved makeover scenes in movies. I loved Troop Beverly Hills, Can't Buy Me Love, She's All That, and Mannequin. I remember loving George Michael, Madonna, and Paula Abdul. I loved what hair and makeup could do to somebody. In high school, I started cutting my own hair and cutting my friend's hair. I wanted Natalie Imbruglia's haircut from the “Torn” video. I'd get three packages of Gillette razors. I used to get cherry cola hair color and dye my hair. I also grew up in a very conservative Mormon community, so when you ask what I was like as a kid, I was very much like, this is too boring. I need bright colors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - 2024 WAS THE YEAR I SURRENDERED - 6. I worked on two collaborations that reflected subjects that matter dearly to me: vulnerability and astrology! In March, I launched the Vulnerability is a Superpower sweatshirt with The Mayfair Group which is now sold out. In June, I launched two limited-edition Venus necklaces with Monica Rich Kosann. While brand collaborations can sometimes feel like a lot of pressure, it was such a joy to work on projects that felt truly authentic to me and aligned with what I often share with my community.</image:title>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - STOP AVOIDING CONFLICT IN FRIENDSHIPS WITH MINAA B - t’s important to be aware that sometimes people ghost you through their actions first. What we're looking for is either a text message or a sit-down conversation where the person explains and states to us, "I don't want this friendship anymore,” but the moment you stopped being invited to places, the moment that person who you texted every single day goes from texting you once a week to them just not texting you at all. Every time you do outreach, they might respond, but they're not doing outreach to you. Those are subtle signs that someone is starting to step back from the relationship.</image:title>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - STOP AVOIDING CONFLICT IN FRIENDSHIPS WITH MINAA B - Do you think people are struggling to identify the category of the friendship that they're in with someone? There are so many different types of friendships. It's hard even for me to know. Is this person I’m friends with because we work in the same industry really my friend? Is this influencer who wants to create content together really my friend? After having been an editor for so long, something I've had to contend with over the last couple of years is the people who only wanted to be friends with me</image:title>

      <image:title>FWD JOY - STOP AVOIDING CONFLICT IN FRIENDSHIPS WITH MINAA B - Agreed. Dating and friendship experiences mirror each other because, at the end of the day— the person you bring into that friendship is most likely the person you bring into the pursuit of a romantic relationship. I've heard so many stories of people who have been in one-year, two-year, or even three-year relationships, and they decided to ghost the person as a way of breaking up—hat level of conflict avoidant. And I literally mean, not even subtle signs of my actions showed you, just me deciding one day I'm done with this. Still, instead of communicating, I'm done with this. I will just block the person, never talk to them again, and remove them from my social media accounts. So, the person on the other end is shocked and taken aback by that behavior.</image:title>

      <image:caption>If you want to know what area of your life could be activated by these transits, take note of what zodiac sign each transit mentioned is in. For example: Pluto is moving into Aquarius. Check your natal chart for what house has the Aquarius symbol, if it's your 5th house, then you can use this chart to see what area of life that house represents.</image:caption>
