Okay, there’s something that needs to be said.

I recently had a moment in which my entire lived experience of pain, of knowledge, of love was shit on and laughed at.

At least, that’s what it felt like.

All it took was one person I care about to nonchalantly throw out three arrogant words in two seconds: "Feelings are ILLOGICAL."

I assume everyone has those moments where something just doesn't sit right.l. For me, it goes down like this: I spend far longer than I should, obsessively replaying what seems like an entirely boring, everyday exchange. I'll ruminate for literal days until suddenly, I get smacked in the face with the realization of just what was actually toxic about the interaction or the statement. I'm always like “Well, shit, it would have been nice to be able to articulate that 4 days ago!” but it’s accompanied by a wave of relief and the feeling of crazy lifts once I finally understand why it felt so damn……off.

Well, I’ve been ruminating over those three words for a couple days now, and I am finally ready to tell the world:

Our society has been running a racket, holding up detached, cerebral logic as the supreme authority on correctness and morality. They've effectively created a cultural weapon that says: If you can’t back it up with a rational, bullet-pointed argument, your gut feeling, your pain, your intuition—all of it—is invalid noise. It’s too sensitive. It’s too clingy. It’s a "you problem. And also, you sound stupid. Now, get in the kitchen, woman.”

(Okay, maybe that last sentence is a little overboard. But it feels important and this is all about how important feelings are… so read on, please….)

This is not only bullshit, it’s actively harmful. To everyone who currently lives among society on planet Earth as well as all those tho continue to do so. The world is dismissing the vital, accurate compasses of the heart (emotion) and body (instinct), and it's time we called out this destructive overvaluation of the mind.

We’ve all seen it: the person who is coldly logical but profoundly cruel. This is the heart of the issue: Logic is a tool, not a virtue.

Something can be perfectly logical—a plan to maximize profit by crushing a competitor, or a calculated decision to use a friend for rides—and yet be utterly morally bankrupt and damaging. The minute logic becomes the benchmark for all things good and right, we start slipping into a dangerous space where empathy is seen as a weakness.

The supposed superiority of logic is fragile, because logic cannot even hold its own against reason. These are two concepts both firmly on the "masculine" side of the spectrum, yet they often contradict each other.

Logic is the study of valid inference; it's about whether an argument's structure holds up.

Reason is the ability to think, understand, and form judgments based on evidence and common sense.

You can create a statement that is logically sound but utterly unreasonable or scientifically nonsensical. For instance, "All flowers are green, and roses are flowers; therefore, roses are green" is logically structured. It’s nonsense, but it’s logically valid.

Just because something follows a clean, sequential flow doesn't make it real, sound, or correct. This is the same fatal flaw as believing that just because something is natural or organic it must be good for you. Go ahead and grab some all-natural, organic poison ivy lotion and let me know how that works out. The structure (logic) and the label (natural) mean precisely shit if the result is toxic.

If "illogical" means "without a strictly rational explanation," then some of the most profound, fundamental, and undeniably important aspects of existence are gloriously, unapologetically illogical. And dismissing them as "not real" or "less important" because they can't be put into a spreadsheet is just plain absurd.

Let's be clear: when judged by the cold, purely rational framework of the mind, phenomena like love or the cosmos are, technically, illogical. But that is the point we must understand. These aren't weaknesses. These are the very fabric of meaning, wonder, and connection. To label them "illogical" is not a dismissal; it's an acknowledgment of their transcendent power beyond mere reason.

Love: Try to logically explain falling in love. Or the irrational urge to protect another being at all costs. Love is illogical. It defies reason, ignores sensible parameters, and yet it is one of the most powerful, transformative, and necessary forces on Earth. To suggest that cold logic is somehow more important than the deep, inexplicable bond of love is not just silly, it's an insult to the very essence of being human.

The Cosmos: The sheer scale, the intricate dance of galaxies, the existence of black holes—the universe operates on principles that humble our greatest logical minds. Its vastness, its mysteries, its chaotic beauty are fundamentally beyond our complete rational grasp, yet undeniably real and awe-inspiring.

Art and Creativity: Why does a particular melody move you to tears? Why does a painting evoke profound emotion? Art doesn't follow a logical formula; it taps into something deeper, something visceral and intuitive. Its power lies precisely in its ability to bypass pure reason and speak directly to the soul.

Faith and Spirituality: For billions, a connection to the divine or a higher purpose exists outside the realm of empirical proof or logical deduction. This is a deeply felt, profoundly impactful aspect of human experience that logic alone cannot encompass.

When people tell you to ignore your feelings because they are "ILLOGICAL," they’re demanding you ignore millions of years of evolutionary testing. We are, biologically, animals first. Our survival has historically depended on split-second, unconscious assessment.

The part of your brain that processes fear and instinct (the limbic system) is ancient. The part that allows you to argue philosophy (the prefrontal cortex) is brand new. The primitive part holds seniority when it comes to keeping you safe.

Intuition is not supernatural, it's just damn fast. It's your primitive, cave-person self compiling data—the subtle shift in a person's tone, the micro-tension in their face, the pattern of one-sided interactions—that the logical mind can't yet process into a verbal argument.

When your gut clenches around a situation, your body is sounding that alarm based on evolutionary wisdom. That gut-punch of feeling used when a "friend" only called for a ride? That wasn't a flaw in you; it was your compass accurately registering a pattern of disrespect and violation. That signal was correct and essential for protecting your emotional well-being.

An action or feeling can be illogical in the moment (e.g., immediately leaving a secure-seeming situation because of a vague unease) but prove to be correct and essential for safety or well-being. The body knows things the mind hasn't put into words yet.

We need to talk about where we actually stand on the spectrum of accepting this intuitive wisdom. You might see conversations popping up online about the "power of intuition" or the need for "self-care." This gives a false comfort that the cultural pendulum is swinging back toward the heart. Im sorry but I fear it isn't.

We are currently navigating a massive energetic shift that promises to double down on intellect and technology, pushing us farther from the body's wisdom:

Pluto in Aquarius (Approx. 2023-2044): Pluto governs power, truth, and necessary destruction. Aquarius rules technology, collective thought, and systems. For the next two decades, we are going to dive hard into the shadow of the intellect, AI, and systems-level thinking. This transit often forces us to learn the hard way: by seeing the catastrophic consequences of dismissing heart and soul in favor of purely technological, detached "progress."

The Age of Aquarius (Approx. 2000+ for 2,160 years): While a Pluto transit is aprox 16-30 years, an astrological Age spans millennia. The true Age of Aquarius will deepen our appreciation for intellect, universal systems, and collective thought for generations. This could easily pull us even farther away from the messy, grounded wisdom of the body and emotion.

We are not entering a gentle era of intuitive acceptance; we are entering an era of intense, intellectual focus. The need to champion the power of the heart and body is not nostalgic—it is a critical, counter-evolutionary act required for human survival in the face of machine logic.

​The ultimate goal is balance between intellect and intuition, mind and heart. But we have to acknowledge where we are: the intellectual side is actively winning this balance, and with the major astrological transits, it’s set to become even more unbalanced. The intellect doesn't need champions right now. The intuition does.

​The need to champion the power of the heart and body is not nostalgic—it is a critical, counter-evolutionary act required for human survival in the face of machine logic.

​Since the mind can't argue with what it can't measure or name, we must actively inject intuitive practices and language into our lives.

​The most profound wisdom is not found when we divorce ourselves from feeling, but when we learn to translate the subtle language of our heart and body.

​The hypocrisy of the purely "cerebral" crowd is terminal: they demand that your entire being bows to a concept of logic that often serves only their own self-interest or detachment.

​For those of us wired for authenticity—the depth of the Scorpio and the emotional wisdom of the Cancer Moon—our feelings are not roadblocks; they are the most accurate, honest compass we possess. They tell you: This is where the boundary is. This is where the danger lies. This is where the truth resides.

​Trusting that internal signal—even when the world calls it illogical—is the ultimate act of self-respect. It is the path to correctness, even if the world calls it illogical.

​All suggestions for how we can collectively champion the wisdom of the heart are welcome.

We need all the help we can get.
