Reparenting Sagittarius Moon

Dec. 27, 2020, 5:29 p.m.

There’s something that has happened to many of us who are committed to social change—as actions which used to be enveloped into the sphere of activism became swallowed by initiatives that strove to make these actions sustainable within capitalism, politics have turned into wage labor. In this environment, everything becomes political. The personal is political, the educational is political, and the daily is also political.

Sagittarius Moons have the propensity to see meaning in absolutely everything. For Sagittarius Moon, there is nothing that is not also animated by the ceaseless narrative of political learning. For Sagittarius Moon, the questions of who makes dinner and what to do with a shattered cupboard becomes, also, a political question.

You’re a Sagittarius Moon and this is also a peregrine Moon, though the Moon is in the domain of Jupiter which is an accidental friend of the Moon in the same way that the Sun and Mars are sometimes accidental friends. You’re a Sagittarius Moon and you were always afraid that other people would overlook that something special about you. You’re a Sagittarius Moon and you never, ever overlook the thing that makes other people stand a little taller than they did before.

You’re a Sagittarius Moon and you know what it feels like to be overlooked. You have a deep fear that it will happen again. Sometimes you feel as though you have to wear the coolest clothes and have the coolest friends to not be overlooked. Sometimes, you don’t mind if the cool kids are not very nice to you.

You’re a Sagittarius Moon and you don’t have to worry about being overlooked. Your vividness and your brightness lives in the future—not the present.

The thing about being a Sagittarius Moon is—you never stop working but you never look like you’re working. The work that you are committed to cannot possibly be classified as labor. It’s all about making people who have never laid eyes on each other fall in love, about wondering about the stars, and about wandering the earth. It’s about telling stories that historical maximalists erased. It’s about learning to tell the difference between warm and cold wind.

You’re a Sagittarius Moon and your work is the work of prophecy. You learn how to make prophecy when you learn how to listen to everything—every teacup, every person, and every leaf tells a story.

Seeing God in the details is either the work of a great thinker or someone who has depression. Depression, too, can make inane things seem more significant than they actually are. Depression and nihilism can make your brain wander in spirals around every small concern as if the world could not stop turning if that one thing were overlooked.

There’s something else that happens to those of us who are committed to social change—we learn how to make social change into a career and, in doing so, careerize our politics. Our personal relationships, sometimes our most intimate relationships, become careerized. We learn how to sell poetry about our exes and we learn how to ask our friends for career opportunities. This happens to almost every queer, feminist, and anarchist.

Sagittarius Moons, because every relationship is also a political project, creates social movements from relationships. Sometimes social change is something that is careerized but not always. Sometimes, Sagittarius Moons are afraid to alienate people who they do not even like only because they’re afraid that person might turn out to be someone who can help them get accepted at some institution or can become significant in a poem that the present does not foretell.

You’re a Sagittarius Moon. You weren’t made to “make connections” or to “network.” You were given the talent of making each and every person feel significant because they, too, have something that can change the world.

You’re a visionary and your visions were not made to rely on institutional support because they were made to cut into our knowledge institutions. You’re a Sagittarius Moon and you have something that’s better than knowledge—you have wisdom. You don’t have to prove wisdom to anyone at all. It is something that you never lose but moves with you in the world.
