hi, i'm barbie, and today i'm here to remind you (if you haven't already) to take your desire(s) off the pedestal. i'll be telling you how to do it, the benefits of doing so, and how it could affect your manifestations. and if you haven't, check out my last post !
first things first, what does it mean to put something on a pedestal ?
to regard someone or something with great or excessive admiration ; to idolize.
basically, it means to make something or someone more important than others or yourself because you admire it so greatly. now even though people (including me lol) may casually put things on a pedestal outside of manifestation, it's not the wisest thing to do when it comes to what you want to manifest.
putting your desire on a pedestal can make it look unachievable and have you thinking that you'll need to put more work in to manifest it. it can also cause self-doubt, impatience, and make you feel unworthy when manifesting. you can even start to doubt your manifesting abilities ! overall, it can knock down your self concept. you're also more likely to gain a victim mindset.
here's a quick example of how putting something on a pedestal can affect oneself and their manifestation.
let's say i'm manifesting an sp, and they just happen to be a huge celebrity. instead of thinking that it's easy (which it already is), i'm treating it like a mission or a quest. saying that it's such a huge goal and it's gonna be a challenge for me. daydreaming about manifesting it as if i can't get it. i'm "trying" and i don't see any movement so i start to get desperate. i start doing bullshit "powerful" methods. i start feeling like a victim ! and i start blaming and trying to fix everything i see, when i just need to look within myself and get my shit together.
y'all see what i mean ? putting your desires on a pedestal is a goddamn set up ! but don't worry, because now it is ...
"wait, what does it mean to take your desire off the pedestal ?"
to take your desire off the pedestal means starting to look at your desire as if it's the easiest thing in this world. realize that it's not that big of a deal ! and don't get me wrong, i bet that whatever you want to manifest is probably awesome. but what i'm trying to say is just simplify it. acknowledge your desire and know that it will be easy for you.
you wanna manifest a million dollars ? it's just paper. wanna manifest a significant other ? there is 7 billion people on this planet. they're just a person. wanna manifest a whole new appearance ? easy peasy lemon squeezy. shifting to your desired reality ? a walk in the park.
"but barbie, what do you mean it's easy ? it can't be that easy !"
yes the fuck it can be that easy. you're the god of your reality and you have been manifesting all your damn life ! so yeah, you're automatically a master at manifestation. the only reason why you feel like you can't is because you refuse to accept that you can.
and if you still don't feel like you can manifest your desire, i suggest building up your confidence and belief in yourself by manifesting "smaller" things to realize how powerful you are. and keep in mind, there is no difference between manifesting 10 dollars and 1 million dollars. you apply the meaning and "weight" to your desire; by default you can manifest anything effortlessly.
your desires are not too good to be true, and never let anyone tell you that something is difficult to manifest. manifestation is subjective, so whatever might feel like climbing a mountain for someone might just be kicking a rock for you. nothing is too good for god.
your desires aren't better than you. you are the god of your reality. the operant power. if you are a master at manifesting, how could manifesting something be difficult for you ? your desires have absolutely no power over you unless you let it. you are going to manifest and conquer it, not have it conquer you ! the only thing that you should put on the pedestal is yourself.
and since some people may initially believe that saying that you are the god of your reality gives you a god complex, i think it'll be important to quickly clear this up.
to truly know and accept the fact that you are the god of your reality also means to acknowledge and know that everyone else is the god of their reality too. remember to be a good person, and don't abuse your power by harming others or yourself. with great power comes with great responsibility !
as long as you don't think of yourself as god in a monotheistic way (since that'll just put you on the path of gaining a god complex or narcissistic traits) you'll be just fine. <3
lemme tell y'all something. once you take your desire off that pedestal everything will truly blossom and fall into place. it'll be easier to manifest due to less effort and energy being used, and you'll just get to have way more fun. and manifestation is supposed to be fun ! you'll be less likely to have negative emotions towards manifesting, and it'll make it feel less like a chore. and ! maybe your self concept will go up once you manifest what was once on that pedestal.
so take your desire off the pedestal. yup, right now. and replace it with yourself, because you’re the only one that should be on it. period.
love, barbie ♡

key ❦
✓— reliable
✗ — unreliable
± — a few things wrong
books ✓
- i get mine from either amazon, barnes and noble, or my local library
co-star ✗
- inaccuracy in the information and placements/aspects. also the creators literally admitted to changing the horoscopes to random sh*t just to f*ck with people so hell no. they also do not hire actual astrologers to run the app so💀
astro.com ✓
- although it’s hard to navigate at first this website is the most reliable and has the most options
time nomad ✓
- b*tch i love this app it has everything and is really accurate a lot like astro.com it’s probably my 3rd fave source next to astro.com and books
astro gold app ✓
- really love this app it’s very professional and accurate
cafeastrology ✗
- aspects are inaccurate and sometimes degrees are also
time passages app ±
- has good explanations and the chart is completely accurate although sometimes the aspects r off
nebula app ✗
- the degrees don’t stop at 29° on this app (they go further) so this may confuse newbies but also the compatibility section and placement explanations are completely inaccurate
cosmic insights app ✓
- this is only an app for vedic astrology not tropical but it’s amazing
astro-charts ✗
- sometimes they don’t show all the aspects or aspect orbs correctly but other than that it’s accurate and is easy to navigate just not the best but i like the feature where u can see what celebs have similar placements to u
astro-seek ±
- it’s good sometimes the degrees are 1° off everything else is fine except the dominant planets/signature sign is incorrect don’t trust that use astro.com to see ur dom planets, signature sign, and signature element
pinterest ✗
- plz never ever trust astrology info on pinterest i have yet to see an accurate astro post on there it’s so bad
astro matrix app ✓
- i really like this app it has transits, solar return charts, accurate planets/aspects, the current chart, etc. it’s really good for beginners as well it’s just that there’s SO many ads and it’s annoying af to me
chani app ✓
- this was made by a tiktok astrologer it’s good for beginners it has good summaries of the placements in your chart however, it doesn’t show degrees though so i’d only recommend this for ppl that just discovered astrology
the pattern app ✗
- i’m hella confused about why everyone raves about this app because it barely has any correlations to your placements it shows transit type stuff but not accurately. it’s a good app just not for astrology
astrofuture app ✓
- everything is good except for the summaries of your placements don’t trust those
sanctuary app ✗
- insanely generic this is sun sign astrology type stuff. wouldn’t recommend
moonx app ✗
- inaccurate. they don’t show your accurate placements i highly do not recommend you to download this
also read this
my go to is always astro.com because it has over 20K asteroids, composite charts, synastry charts, correct aspects/placements, accurate placement explanations, solar return charts, davison charts, astrocartography, etc. it’s crazy how many things you can see on there - unfortunately it’s hard to navigate but once u get used to how it works it’s amazing

SOME ADVICE FOR MY YOUNG FOLLOWERS THAT I WISH SOMEONE HAD GIVEN ME WHEN I WAS YOUNGER🔮
Pay attention to your friends comments because they could be mentally abusing you without you noticing. When I was unemployed my ”friend” made so many comments about people who are unemployed. That ”they” are ruining society and all that. And let me tell you as soon as I got a job the comments stopped? This whole year she hasnt been making fun of people who dont have a job because its probably not fun for her anymore since I have a job now. This was not the only thing she commented either. If you are in a situation where you can not end the friendship for example if its a classmate or family friend try commenting back.
Also pay attention to when your friends call you and what they have to say. This same friend used to call me every night screaming about all the b*tches and ”h*s at work (thats what she called them) she could even call me screaming and crying but when good stuff happened she never called me. I would also see on her snapstories that she did fun stuff with other people and I was just the one she called when she was sad or angry.
Never lower your standards. You NEED people who are loyal by your side. If your friend dont hate your worst enemy its not your friend. A real friend will naturally dislike someone who hurt you.
Dont humble yourself too much. If you are suspecting one of your friends are envious of you they might be. And this can get really ugly especially as a teenage girl. Never share too much with this ”friend”.
Stand up for yourself do not try to make a bully like you because they dont ”like” people they can only respect or fear you. Either fight back or ignore dont try to kiss their ass.
If you are not welcomed there dont go there.
LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION. Maybe you are wrong about that person and maybe they are actually kinda nice STILL something is making you feel the way you feel and its better to be safe than sorry.
If the person you are interested in is treating you bad please try to leave. I spent my college year with a guy who treated me horribly and it ruined my self esteem. So much time wasted.
Try to find your own style you wont look good in everything thats in. Some of the clothes I forced myself to wear because it was cool didnt look good on me at all.
If you are feeling insecure try looking at celebrities who look more like you. Instead of looking at people who look like you want to look. Stop torturing yourself.
Be careful in the internet because you cant take it back. This can get you into a lot of trouble later in life. Dont scream at people or fight on the internet.
