Why Co-Star Is My Most Emotionally Unstable Relationship
The Astrology App That Gaslights Me (And I Keep Going Back)
Co–Star, the astrology app we love to hate (and hate to love), somehow walks the line between digital therapist, chaotic friend, and passive aggressive roommate. It’s all “Let go of what you’re clinging to,” and I’m like-bestie, I’m clinging to my last shred of serotonin, can we circle back?
There are days when Co–Star gifts me poetic clarity and makes me feel like a moonlit goddess with a purpose. Other days it’s basically subtweeting me. “Resist the urge to spiral.” Excuse me? That was my plan for today.
But let’s be real: I keep checking. Because when she hits, it hits. When it tells me to trust my gut or embrace the chaos, I believe it like it’s the shred of clear thinking thoughts I didn’t know I had. Is it healthy? Debatable. Is it entertaining? Absolutely.
Does it sometimes stress me out when on the “Do” and “Don’t” lists it’ll say things I do or wanted? Possibly, but does it technically stop me from spiraling when I read that on my “Do” is shopping. Not sure but helps to know I should whip my laptop open and find the newest sale going on because it was fate from Co-Star...
And somewhere between the daily affirmations and the “don’t let your past define you” warnings, I find a weird kind of peace. Like a digital horoscope hug that sometimes slaps you first.
So yes, Co–Star has made me feel validated, attacked, inspired, and confused, all before breakfast. And will I open it again tomorrow? 100%.
Because nothing says emotional growth like letting an app dictate your mood. When it tells me that I’m “Overwhelmed and overdue for a rest” you know I’m taking that and sitting my ass on the couch with a face mask on.
