The negative influence of Odu Ejilashebora indicates a period when the ego and its whims will speak louder than reason, so it is essential to be aware of your emotions and the way you express them in order to ensure that communication and harmony continue. Therefore, be extra careful with your words and especially with your tone of voice, which may be misunderstood and generate conflict even when you seek peace.

If in its positive aspect Ejilashebora points to the power of charisma, in its negative aspect it is the tyranny of those who try to exercise power out of fear and terror that emerges. In this sense, the time has come to review your attitudes and seek to recognize when and how your vanity and selfishness scream to make you hear. As the saying goes, to be a queen it is not enough to sit on the throne or wear a crown. On the contrary, gold and jewels – whether real or symbolic – will not do any good if no one sees or hears what you’re trying to say. No matter how much you cry, the one who could be royalty becomes a jester, and when that happens, you’re the only one to blame for the bad choices taken so far.

The tendency to manipulate reality so that your versions of the facts appear to be true contributes to the distancing of those who once cared about you. In love, business and social life, emotional inconsistency and difficulty establishing sincere ties are present, and it’s necessary to seek a balance between the pleasures of the outside world and the harmony of home life. No matter how many times a lie is repeated, it will never come true – even if many accept it as the only way to end disputes (and conversations) with you.

In the end, lying to yourself will always be the worst lie…After all, with everything that’s happening to you nowadays, who are you trying to fool?

Ejilashebora’s Shadow Meditation: I claim to be right and fair, praising the gods so that justice is done, but…looking deeper, am I not actually asking that things turn out the way I want, hiding the fact that I’m not as right as I intend to be and that real fairness would harm me? And how often do I create alternative versions of situations just to feel that I’m righteous, instead of facing the raw truth that says I’m only acting for my own benefit?
