Free Spirit: What Group Do You Belong To? | Astrology Ride of the Day
A random parking lot encounter sparks this episode. A stranger, Bob, stops to ask which fraternity, which Masonic lodge, which church group belongs to him, one question after another about affiliation. The answer: I belong to my own group, I Am Astrology Readings. That interaction traces back to the very beginning of this journey — a dating profile years ago where a woman described herself as "a free spirit," a phrase that sent a genuine search into what that actually means, and eventually into astrology itself through the concept of the cusp. Webster's definition of free spirit: an independent, uninhibited person who thinks and acts without worrying about social rules. The opposite is someone who follows every rule and upholds every expectation society puts on them — a bunch of sheep waiting to be led, either shaved for wool or served up for the next barbecue. Real freedom requires willingness to break expectations, and that comes with real costs: alienation, enemies, a truth that not everyone can handle. But it also brings genuine curiosity, resilience, and freedom from needing others' admiration to know your own worth. Everyone wants free speech, but almost nobody's fighting for free listening. Becoming a free spirit starts with removing the baggage that's held you back — because through years of studying astrology, doing readings, and deprogramming, the search for the answer became the answer itself. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
Takeaways
- Real freedom requires willingness to break expectations, which comes with genuine costs — alienation, enemies, and a truth not everyone can handle.
- Everyone fights for free speech, but almost nobody fights for free listening — the freedom to actually hear something uncomfortable without needing to control it.
- The years-long personal search for what a free spirit even means became the answer itself — becoming what was being searched for through the process of studying and deprogramming.
