It’s a strange brutal type of pain to go through life feeling so unloved by your mother. I have an idea of what our relationship should be. I begin to shed too many tears when I sit and think too long about just how far from that image we really are.

The Astrology of Envy 🐍🔪

RECAP:

Two millennial pop sensations clashing, you could practically cut the tension with a knife. The behind the scene drama finally spilled into their music. The world gets a glimpse into a hidden world of secret love affairs, bitter rivalries, and messy social dynamics of some of the most famous people in music.

The Lyrics:

Sympathy is a Knife - Charli XCX 2024 BRAT "This one girl taps my insecurities Don't know if it's real or if I'm spiraling"

"Don't wanna see her backstage at my boyfriend's show Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope they break up quick

'Cause I couldn't even be her if I tried I'm opposite, I'm on the other side"

Actually Romantic - Taylor Swift 2025 Life of a Showgirl "I heard you call me "Boring Barbie" when the coke's got you brave High-fived my ex and then you said you're glad he ghosted me Wrote me a song saying it makes you sick to see my face Some people might be offended

But it's actually sweet All the time you've spent on me"

Taylor Swift vs Charli XCX Sag vs Leo

So the music has been juicy but what can the astrology reveal?

Charli XCX has her chiron in Leo 🦁 sitting on her Leo Stillium! Chiron the "wounded healer" asteroid sits on all of Charli's vibrant Leo placements, dimming her light. A chiron in Leo indicates insecurities around self-worth, self-expression, and a fear of judgment and criticism. Charli deeply wants to step into the spotlight and recieve admiration and praise but her wound causes immense self-doubt and difficulty embracing this more performative Leo energy.

Taylor has her South Node in Leo 🦁 Her early life and career will be filled with this performative Leo energy, pushing Taylor onto a stage will come with much more ease. Taylor does not have this same fear of judgement holding her back. Leo is shiny, glamorous, and fearless. For Taylor these Leo blessings will come naturally, she even had an album titled "Fearless." lol. When someone has a South Node in the same sign as your chiron it's a very painful synastry placement. As the S.Node person often seems to be blessed early on in life with the the things the chiron person is deeply struggling with early on in life. These placements align really well with Charli's lyrics in Sympathy is a Knife. Charli did have dreams of being a major pop star. So she really can't help but compare her success to that of Taylor's.

Taylor Swift has a chiron in Cancer 🦀on her cancer moon Charli isn't the only one with a wound on her primary placements. Taylor has her chiron on her most delicate placement, her moon sign. Taylor's chiron in cancer plays out much more in things related to the mother, such as a lack of emotional security and nuturing provided from their mother figure in childhood. Chiron in cancer natives have difficult childhoods where they were emotionally neglected by the family. For Taylor, these issues connected to her roots cause her to have a deep fear of abandonment and emotional insecurities in her relationships.

Charli xcx has her rising in the moon ruled Cancer! ♋ So not only does Taylor trigger Charli's wounds of insecurity. Charli triggers Taylor's emotional scars as well. Charli's softer cancer rising appearence and aura allows her to have an easier time making others around her feel comfortable, creating a more nuturing, safe space to connect with coworkers and friends. Charli can more effectively find her tribe and create a family of choice that she feels emotionally secure with. Meanwhile, Taylor is plagued with self-doubt around social circles fearing she will never truly fit in with anyone. This could lead to paranoia, trust issues, and a penchant for more superficial relationships that are kept at arms length. Charli's life is filled with more authentic connections instead of orchestrated & exploititive relationships. An aspect of Charli's life Taylor secretly envy's.

Taylor Swift has a Scorpio Mars 🐍 Listen Taylor embraced the snake energy pretty easily on her reputation tour thanks to her Scorpio Mars. Make no mistake this Mars sign is venegeful & should never be underestimated. This is a placement that drives so much of their motivation from seeking revenge on anyone they feel wronged them in some way. They don't cower from conflict they thrive in it.

Charli XCX's Leo Sun, Leo Mercury, and Leo Venus Squares off 🟥 in waring position with Taylor's Scorpio Mars. These two were really bound to have conflict eventually with these placements. The closer Taylor is in Charli's orbit the closer the bubble is to bursting. 🕛 In a war with a Scorpio Mars head on the Scorpio will always on paper be victorious. A placement that aligns well with their very real level of fame. Taylor's stardom will always outshine Charli's. However, if Charli can look at this diss track from Taylor as a gift to continue her own journey of healing than this will only propel her forward. While Taylor's wound can only be healed in retreat of the limelight not further spectacle. Therefore, while it may seem like an easy win for Taylor she is ultimately hurting herself in this process and proving Charli's point.

Charli XCX // True Romance

Apple - Spotify - Tidal

Charli XCX’s debut album is a record that exists halfway between teenage fantasy and digital decay, between the glossy world of pop and the gritty textures of the internet underground. Before Charli became a fixture of hyperpop futurism and mainstream collaboration, True Romance introduced her as something more elusive: a romantic nihilist lost inside her own imagination, building a neon labyrinth out of heartbreak, obsession, and late-night online culture.

The album feels like it was recorded under flickering fluorescent lights — shimmering yet claustrophobic, intimate yet synthetic. Produced largely by Ariel Rechtshaid, Patrik Berger, and J£zus Million, it fuses electropop with gothic atmosphere, R&B with glitchy industrial textures. The beats are sleek but unstable; synths bloom and corrode; reverb stretches voices until they sound disembodied, suspended in some emotional limbo.

Charli’s writing is full of contradictions — love as both salvation and addiction, desire as both fantasy and violence. In “Nuclear Seasons,” she wanders through a post-apocalyptic romance, her voice echoing over a slow-motion beat that feels like the end of the world. “Stay Away” is equally cinematic, a desperate cry coated in ice. “You (Ha Ha Ha)” flips a Gold Panda sample into a defiant breakup anthem, laughter and heartbreak colliding over metallic clatter. And “Set Me Free (Feel My Pain)” captures the essence of the album’s emotional tension: freedom as a wound, escape as an act of surrender.

Throughout True Romance, Charli sings as if she’s inside a dream she can’t fully control — seduced by her own illusions but aware of their emptiness. She adopts the language of pop stardom but fills it with longing and alienation. The title itself, True Romance, feels ironic: it suggests authenticity, but what she offers instead is simulation — a world of glowing screens and digital affection, where intimacy is both magnified and distorted.

Visually and thematically, the album belongs to the Tumblr era — all black lipstick, pixelated gifs, heartbreak confessions, and 3 a.m. scrolling. Yet it’s not just nostalgia for that aesthetic; Charli uses that culture as her creative palette, turning internet melodrama into high art. Her voice, simultaneously detached and yearning, becomes a conduit for a generation raised on emotional overexposure and digital distance.

Though True Romance didn’t achieve major commercial success, it’s often cited as Charli’s most cultish, personal work — the foundation upon which her later sound would be built. Where later albums (Pop 2, Crash) would explode into collaborative futurism, True Romance remains solitary and internal, the diary of someone learning how to weaponize vulnerability.

What makes True Romance endure is its emotional coherence amid chaos. It’s not a debut searching for identity — it’s the sound of someone who has already accepted fragmentation as identity. Every hook is sweet, every lyric is haunted, every song is a digital love letter sent into the void.
