Ego in Spirituality & Why the Collective Needs a Reality Check

Ego In Spirituality

If you thought, that the era of Pluto in Aquarius means you can live fully in your ego and flex about cursing certain public figures, I have news for you, bestie. Every sign and every planet creates an energy imprint. That energy works on a spectrum. You either resonate with the higher frequency or the lower frequency, and that is what manifests in your life. This is especially true on the collective level.

Lately, the spiritual community online has shown such an inflated ego that it makes me want to walk away from those platforms entirely. Putting on the internet that you have cursed someone who actually suffered misfortune…or even worse, d*e…is not power. It’s not spiritual authority. It’s pure recklessness. And let’s be honest: stupidity wrapped in ego.

You can do all the protection spells you want, but if you’re operating from ego and shouting from the top of the mountain that you took part in someone’s downfall, you’ve undone all your work. Be more ethical. Be more mindful. And most importantly, stop putting entire metaphysical, spiritual, and marginal communities at risk just because your ego craves numbers and clicks. Do you think governments and mainstream structures won’t use this against anyone who practices outside the norm? Think again.

If you call yourself a practitioner, at least learn the basics of astrology. Let’s actually look at the sky right now and talk about what’s unfolding.

Current Transits & Their Lessons

Here are the main transits shaping the collective atmosphere:

• Sun sextile Jupiter (0°52’ orb): This aspect brings optimism and growth. It’s a beautiful influence for expansion, but it also tempts us into overconfidence. Working from ego instead of wisdom is one of its shadow traps.
• Saturn conjunct Neptune (1°48’ orb): Illusions are dissolving. Reality checks are being delivered whether we’re ready or not. Saturn forces accountability on Neptune’s spiritual, dreamy terrain. Spirituality without responsibility collapses under this transit.
• Uranus Neptune & Uranus Pluto: The outer planets are weaving a massive collective shift. Uranus (awakening) connects with Neptune (dreams) and Pluto (power, transformation). This is innovation, yes, but it also cracks illusions wide open. Anything built on false pretenses won’t survive. Neptune is being “held up” by Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini, giving it massive strength at the moment.
• North Node opposing Sun & Mercury, quincunx Venus, trine Jupiter & Lilith: The nodes highlight karma, fate, and collective lessons. With the Sun and Mercury involved, ego and communication are directly under the cosmic microscope. The quincunx to Venus shows relational tension, while the trine to Jupiter and Lilith amplifies shadow work and karmic expansion.
• Lilith square Venus, trine Jupiter, sextile Sun: Shadow dynamics, especially around desire and values, are loud. Lilith demands authenticity from us.

Why This Matters Right Now?

We are in between eclipses. In retrograde season. The outer planets are in limbo between fresh new energies and the rigid old ones. This is a delicate timeframe. Our actions draw dire consequences now. Yes, illusions are dissolving, but let’s not forget: the South Node is currently conjunct the Sun, pulling us to release toxic ego patterns. Saturn has dipped back into Pisces, and Neptune, though at 1° Aries, is being empowered by Pluto and Uranus. Neptune’s influence is very much active and strong right now.

This is not a time for reckless spiritual flexing. It’s a time to ask: are my actions rooted in ego, or in service? Am I embodying the higher frequencies of these planetary imprints, or dragging myself and others through the lower ones?

The Takeaway

We cannot afford to treat spirituality like a popularity contest. Flexing curses and bragging about destruction is not only dangerous to you, it endangers the credibility of the entire spiritual community. If you truly practice, then practice with integrity. Pluto in Aquarius is an invitation to collective responsibility and evolution!

What you plant now… ego or ethics, will echo for years.
