#Before researching for two seconds and giving up. Going with Jupiter but it's out of disrespect

[templeofvengeance]

🍺 + Ya ever just want to summon a shit ton of moonshine and go heckle the rest of the gods in Omnipotent City or whatever it's called?

Send 🍺+ a question and my muse will answer drunk! (No longer accepting)

"Fucking cowards!" Khonshu tossed aside the bottle of ale. "Only the Olympians live in Omnipotence City! I would not grace it with my presence even to insult it! Them imprisoning themselves to a life of orgies and wine is an idiocy they can rot within on their own! To reward it with a blessing--! They need no encouragement to drink in denial and allow this realm to slip through their grasp! Should Jupiter disagree, let him aim his thunderbolt upon my holy moon and see whose surface cracks first!"

Khonshu stands there, exceptionally smug. (Nothing happens, pointedly. No one's listening in on Khonshu shouting to himself.)

pt. 4: an analysis of the different vedic themes within miraculous ladybug

i have some lingering notes and observations that i did not include in the analysis that i’d like to discuss. this also includes spoilers, so read at your own discretion.

before the days got filled with responsibilities, i was an avid miraculous ladybug watcher. to this day, i still keep up with the show during my free time. throughout these past few years, i’ve deep dived into the knowledge of vedic astrology and progressively started to recognize themes present in the show that coincided with certain nakshatras. this is part one of my research, a deep dive into the vedic astrology of miraculous: the tales of ladybug and cat noir. 

-> i used the birthdays of the voice actors and actresses to confirm my findings.

director [thomas astruc]: uttara bhadrapada moon & uttara ashadha sun

gabriel agreste/hawkmoth [keith silverstein]: vishakha moon & mula sun [as the show progresses, his name changes to monarch, however i'm going to refer to him as hawkmoth throughout the analysis].

marinette dupain-cheng/ladybug [cristina vee]: uttara ashadha moon & punarvasu sun

adrien agreste/cat noir [bryce papenbrook]: magha moon & shatabhisha sun

chloe bourgeois [selah victor]: anuradha/jyeshta moon & ashwini sun 

-> definitions

miraculous: magical jewelry containing hidden powers that transforms the wearers into animal-themed superpowered beings.

miracle box: holds all 36 miraculouses when they aren’t in use. 

akumatized: regular people who are transformed into villains. 

cataclysm: the superpower to destroy anything the person touches.

absolute wish: aka the ultimate miraculous absolute power, grants a person one wish to ask for anything in the universe. 

this analysis of the show is my interpretation and is all up for interpretation! 

please credit if shared through any type of means! 

･ﾟﾟ･｡

i originally was only going to analyze the themes of punarvasu and mula within the show because before researching, those were the two nakshatras themes that i noticed while watching the show. i had a feeling ladybug was a punarvasu native, however i thought cat noir was a mula native (he’s magha, so close in terms of both being fire signs & ketu nakshatras). then, delving deeper into the research, i discovered and recognized the interplay between different nakshatras and had to include them. 

the director has a punarvasu saturn and mula mars, so i wonder if he’s simply channeling those nakshatras in this creative work or he has one of those nakshatras as his ascendant. 

returning to punarvasu being granted a second chance, i wonder if the natives get freed from the negative consequences of their past actions. perhaps due to accepting learned lessons and repentance after the chaos from the previous nakshatra, ardra, and from their own repeating cycles, they’re granted mercy and grace. 

the repetition of each episode’s progression being someone getting akumatized, ladybug and cat noir fighting, and them being the victors in the end correlates to one meaning of punarvasu being repetition. this thought led to me wondering if children’s shows are ruled by punarvasu as most are episodic, but carries the same value of teaching through entertainment making the structure of an episode repeat. 

tikki and plagg needing nourishment when their energy is depleted after ladybug and cat noir have transformed for too long reminded me of pushya. pushya is the star of nourishment and its shakti is to create spiritual energy. tikki and plagg need to be nourished for them to have the energy to transform and give powers to marinette and adrien. so, i researched the VAs and tikki is a pushya sun and plagg is a pushya jupiter and ketu. one of the symbols for pushya is the cow’s udder and plagg is obsessed with camembert cheese that’s made out of cow’s-milk. additionally, pushya’s deity is brihaspati, also referred to as jupiter, and is the exaltation point of jupiter. jupiter rules over sweet food and tikki loves sweets. this is an example of pushya being nourished in order to nourish others. 

the previous point led me to wonder if the relationship between kwamis, the miraculouses, and their holders represents the transition between punarvasu to pushya. kwamis alone are divine, spirit-like beings that embody an abstract idea/concept. for example, tikki is the first kwami to exist and is the kwami of creation. she is connected to all versions of herself in the past, present, future, and parallel universes similar to how aditi represents those aspects and other aspects of existence. the kwamis’ powers are great, but are too strong and unfocused. this idea of kwamis reminded me of punarvasu as it’s a deva gana (divine) nak, a jupiter nakshatra signifying expansion without restriction and its deity, aditi signifying creation, boundlessness, and her being the universe itself. kwamis are not the universe itself, but abstract ideas/concepts which connects to punarvasu being the merge between a mercury rashi and a jupiter nak. the transition to pushya begins when the kwamis merge with their miraculouses. pushya is also a deva gana (divine) nakshatra and as stated previously, is the star of nourishment and creates spiritual energy. kwamis give spiritual energy to the miraculous of the holder to perform their designated power. when using their power, it’s to be used for good and not for self-gain or there’d be consequences. they need to be nourished to allow the holder to transform and the kwami magic protects their identity, so no one knows who the holders are. as the kwamis protect the holders, the holders protect the people. this connects to the transition from the cancer rashi of punarvasu into pushya as cancer relates to having mother-like qualities and mothers are known to provide protection to their children. the people of society can be considered the children of the universe. 

marinette, gabriel, and adrien all have jupiter influence. marinette is a punarvasu sun, gabriel is a vishakha moon & mula sun, and adrien has purva bhadrapada mercury and venus conjunct his primary sun placement. all the jupiter nakshatras connect to the idea of duality: punarvasu–twins, vishakha–forked branch, purva bhadrapada–two faces. 

one side note for gabriel’s connection to vishakha is that one of his villain names is shadow moth.

i didn’t get into adrien’s purva bhadrapada placements, but you can see the influence of this nakshatra in his character. It’s a lion yoni, a part of the feline family which connects to his name. also, the difference between adrien and cat noir’s character. where adrien is mellow yet respectful and kind, cat noir is outwardly very flirty and playful.

i was questioning whether adrien has either a magha or purva phalguni moon, and ultimately decided on a magha moon. my argument for purva phalguni was the dialogue for his perfume commercial being, “radiant, carefree, dreamy adrien the fragrance,” and purva phalgunis are known for playing dreamgirls / dreamy personas in the media. also, his choice of having a modeling career, however other factors made me go against the idea. 

one small pattern i picked up on: marinette is a punarvasu sun and tikki is a pushya sun. adrien is a magha moon/shatabhisha sun and plagg is a purva phalguni sun/purva bhadrapada moon. the nakshatras transition from the holders to the kwamis.

the kwamis nakshatras match them as tikki strictly focuses on the job at hand and restricts herself from any romantic relations with her partner while plagg is highly flirtatious and deeply romantic.

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter. Better yet! Check out “Heart of the Game, Fredonia” and see if they can sell you those D12’s with the symbols on them. Tell them “Shujin Tribble” sentcha. And “Hail, Hail, Fredonia!” Home of the Blue Devil!

Now that the clocks have all switched back to what we’d like to call “CORRECT TIMES”, let’s give you all some Night-Themed ‘Scopes. And yes, there was a suggestion for a theme this week… but that’s requiring more research than we had time for. Don’t worry, we’re getting to it.

Aries 

At 5pm local time, face the west coast of North America and say “Goodnight” to Hollywood. Not just because of the Billy Joel song of the same name, but because that’s where the Sun goes to die every day. Sure, sure, people in Hawai’i CLAIM to see the Sun long after it’s gone down for us all over on the mainland, but come on. Who you gunna believe? Us or people who say they live on an island where the weather’s always perfect? This Week… Trust Nobody! Not… Even… Us.

Taurus 

One of the best parts of this season is the cold wintery nights. Get yourself some hot chocolate, a warm blanket, a comfortable beach chair, and some good quality binoculars. Looking up at the night sky is so much better now when there’s so little atmospheric turbulence getting in the way. This Week… Imagine what it was like for Galileo, looking up at the moons of Jupiter for the first time… and his telescopes were NOTHING compared to what you can use today for under $100!  

Gemini  

You need to get out more, and what better time than now? It’s still cold at night to wake you up before you drive home, and there’s less snow on the ground than there will be soon. This Week… get your Lyft and Uber accounts setup and pre-paid so you can get sloshed in public like you promised God you’d never do again.

Cancer Moon-Child 

When was the last time you got to the Opthomologists? We’re guessing it’s been a while. Now’s the time, since your astigmatism is going to be getting worse. No, that headlight streaking you see isn’t from your windshield wipers, it’s your cornea. This Week… send your parents the bill for the corrective lenses you’ll need. It’s ultimately a genetic issue and they’re the cause. Hold Them Accountable!

Leo 

Your search for The Ultimate Truth is going to bring you into a disastrous realization… that you’re the LAST person alien civilizations should make first contact with. Not that you’re a bad person, but that your scope of mathematics, geometry, and chemistry knowledge are… and let’s be generous here… “Lacking”. This Week… Learn how to make a Three Dimensional Object with only TWO PHYSICAL SIDES!

Virgo 

You need to combat your seasonal depression any way you can. Changing your diet will only go so far, so here’s an idea for you; change your visual stimulus! Step one - wear sunglasses with yellow lenses to brighten up everything. Second, listen to soothing sounds - like the water lapping at the beach as seagulls wheel overhead. And third This Week… Go out and buy Simulated Sunlight Light Bulbs. Or just get the remote-controlled colour-changing LED light bulbs. And find the right temperature setting that helps you. 

Libra 

Get your snow tires out NOW! You need to get your oil changed, so you might as well trade out the tires while you’re at it. And before you say it’s too early, remember how you ended up going down the highway sideways because you hit that black ice and a gust of wind? This Week… double-check you have the tires on the correct way. Remember, they have arrows on the sidewalls to remind you which way they’re supposed to spin. 

Scorpio 

Two words for you this week: Smooth Jazz. Turn down the lights, sip some liquor, and enjoy some Dave Brubeck or Nat “King” Cole in your ears. It’ll be a great way to relax after the week ahead. This Week… Well… we just told you. Liquor, assuming you know her. If not, do some poker.

Sagittarius 

You want to do some photography, right? How about something sorta complicated, requiring you to do some math? If you hook up your digital SLR camera to your computer you can setup time-lapse photos through your window at the sky. But you’ll need to do the math to see how long you want the final video to be, how many frames per second, how many photos per minute to take… So This Week… check how much hard drive space you have left. And empty your Fax Directory. We all know you don’t have any Faxes stored there.

Capricorn 

With Autumn here it’s time to enjoy fresh-pressed apple cider. Yes you could do it yourself, but it’s more fun to go out to an orchard and watch them smash bushels of apples and run them through a hydraulic press. If you want to do it at home you’ll need about 6 apples, a decent knife, a lot of cheese cloth… and something to press-out the juices. This Week… Buy a gallon at the store and watch some Hydraulic Press videos on YouTube instead. You’ll be amazed at how much pressure LEGOs can take

Aquarius 

You get to enjoy the season best. There are all kinds of stories or videos to keep you entertained through the early night. Let’s start off with the Pet-Themed “You Laugh You Lose” playlists. Find the video where a woman makes snow angels and her horse joins her on the ground to do it too, and follow that rabbit hole down until you can't stop smiling. This Week… Enjoy yourself! You earned it!

Pisces  

Paranoia is your friend this week. Christmas is closing in on you faster than you know. If you don’t get all the things you need you’ll never get your Santa Clause Capture Machine built, tested, and deployed in time. And remember - you DON’T need a building variance for it if you keep it inside your house this time. This Week… watch “The Nightmare Before Christmas” for ideas on how to catch Sandy Claws.

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Discord and BLUESKY.

library hours

Pairing: Spencer Reid x gn!Reader Warnings: maybe a swear word or two, really just FLUFF ft. baby spence Word Count: 1.3k Summary: A late night at a university library leads to reader meeting a tall brunette genius. [fyi i wrote a reimagined version with professor reid x reader. you can read it here]

A/N: dedicated to the amazing @ellesgreenaway​ for inspiring this little fic & giving it a title!!  ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

-

There was something you always enjoyed about the going to the library.

Perhaps it was the way every single person that walked through the threshold had a purpose. A mission to complete. Perhaps it was the quiet. The solace you felt sitting alone in a corner researching various topics, for class and for recreational purposes.

The university library had quickly become your second home. A location you frequented more than your own dorm room. It wasn’t always to study, no. You people watched. Doodled. Even napped there from time to time. The place brought you peace, and by the time you senior year rolled around, you saw the librarians more than your college friends.

The university library was also the place where you first met a certain young brunette genius - which in time became the main reason why you liked it so much.

Lights were slowly being turned off section by section. A vacuum came to life in one of the aisles. People started to scramble from their seats - shoving their things into their backpacks, throwing out empty coffee cups into the overflowing bins, checking out books they might still use that evening.

All signs indicating it was time to go.

Dolly, one of the librarians, ushered towards you. Her jacket draped over her shoulders, her bag in hand. She gave you the usual spiel of how you can stay until the janitor is finished cleaning, to which you politely nodded along. She wished you a pleasant night, and with a “see you tomorrow” she hurried out the door.

Once she was out of sight, you groaned under your breath and ran your fingers through your hair. You had an assignment due tomorrow, one you started hours ago and only managed to formulate three total sentences. Your gut was telling you there was no way you were going to finish now, especially since you had about thirty minutes until you would have to leave.

Leaning back in your chair, you fluttered your eyes closed in an attempt to collect your thoughts. The tranquil feeling didn't last long as you were abruptly brought back to reality by a loud bang. You quickly sat back up and scanned the space for the source of the noise.

A tall brunette man, not much older than you, stood a few tables away, a heavy looking book at his feet and a shameful look spread across his features.

“The library is closed for the night.” You stated. The brunette scrunched his nose briefly. “B-but you’re here.” He remarked before leaning down to pick up the book he dropped.

“I have permission to be here.”

“What if I do too?” He challenged, taking a step towards you although still keeping a safe distance.

You folded your arms across your chest and arched a brow. “Well, do you?”

The brunette didn't respond. Instead, you noticed how his cheeks flushed a shade of red, how he clutched the book to his chest, and how his fingers tightened around the strap of his bag.

You couldn't help but smirk as you let your arms fall back down to your side.

“I’m just kidding. Come on, join me.” You said, pointing to to the chair across the table from you. “We have about twenty-five minutes before we get kicked out, might as well make the most of it.”

He hesitated for a split second, hovering in his spot. It wasn't until you turned your attention completely away from him, and back to the book in front of you, that he made his move.

“You’re not some sort of killer, are you? You’re not here to murder me?” You asked, looking up as he sat down. His eyes widened and he quickly shook his head in response. “Ehm... N-no.”

“That wasn't a very reassuring no, but I guess I’ll take it.” You nudged in response, and proceeded to work away on your assignment. As you worked, you could feel his eyes burning into you.

In any other situation, with any other stranger, the feeling would have made you uncomfortable. But there was something about the timid stranger that was quite welcoming.

“I-I actually, uhm, I profile serial killers. I help catch them.” He said after a moment of silence. Once again, you glanced up from your notes to look at him. Intrigue greeting your facial features. “I just started with the FBI.” He stated.

It wasn't a brag. No. It was a statement to make you feel more safe, and you couldn't help but smile at him. “So, mister FBI, what are you doing in a university library on a Thursday night?”

“Doctor.” He corrected.

“What?”

“Doctor FBI.” He said, corners of his lips twitching upwards. “I have PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering.” Now, that was a brag.

You chuckled softly. “You don't happen to have a PhD in History under your belt, do you? Because that would be very helpful right about now.”

“No, but I do have an eidetic memory and can read twenty-thousand words per minute.” He declared. You stared at him in disbelief, your mouth parting ever so slightly in shock.

“Did they make you in a lab or something?” You teased, although you could tell he didn't find it amusing. He furrowed his brows, lips pursed into thin line. You chewed down on your bottom lip, feeling slightly ashamed for poking fun at the guy who was nothing but be nice to you. “I’m sorry.” You mumbled faintly. “That was rude.”

“It’s okay.” He quickly reassured, and shot you a timid smile. The two of you stared silently at one another. There was something amicable about the seconds that passed as you looked into his hazel eyes. Something harmonious. Friendly. Strong.

You cleared your throat. “There uhm, there’s this dinner not far from here. It’s twenty-four hours so they won't kick us out. Would you like to come with me? We can share a pie. I mean, if you’re into that. Or, or we can just have coffee-”

“Y-yes, I would love to.” The young doctor answered all too quickly causing you to grin at him.

Soon enough you were both packed up and up on your feet, heading towards the library exit.

There wasn’t a cloud in the sky making the million stars shine all that brighter. They looked like perfect sugar granules spilled on a dark surface, accompanied by the glowing moonlight. Breathtaking.

Street lamps glittered ahead, illuminating the streets. The two of you walked side by side, almost in sync.

“Does that big brain of yours possess information on Roman gods?” You asked while nonchalantly hopping up on the curb. You spread out your arms like a tightrope walker, and with one foot carefully placed in front of the other you continued your journey.

The wind blew lightly through your hair, your brunette companion observing quietly. A smile creeping up on his lips. “Because if you do, I might ask for your help with an assignment.” You glanced at him briefly.

“I-I do actually, ehm. The... The Ancient Romans were extremely religious, and believed their success was due to their strong beliefs. They believed that if you maintained a good relationship with the gods, they would be kind to you.” He briskly cleared his throat. “There were twelve Olympian Gods in total. Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Ceres, Vulcan, and Vesta...”

You let out a soft kindhearted laugh. “Okay doctor FBI, slow down. Wait until we get to the diner so I can really appreciate your genius.”

He blushed, feeling thankful that the darkness around prevented you from seeing. “It’s Spencer. My name, uhm, my name is Spencer.”

You stopped in your tracks and elegantly hopped off the curb. Spencer turned in his spot so that he was now facing you completely, only an arms reach away.

“Spencer...” You tested the name on your tongue, a smile embellishing your features. “It suits you.” You retorted before proceeding to introduce yourself, “I’m Y/N. It’s nice to meet you, Spencer.”

My World Monday, the solar system

Today, I'm going to talk about the solar system and a bit of how the planet and moons of Thera are set up. I'm a bit of a space nerd and love looking up information about how stars and planets are formed and I've watched the extraterrestrial worlds documentary on Netflix and I just find it all so fascinating. So, I did a little research and really got into how my planet, Thera, was formed.

A lot of stars expel things that eventually form planets. A lot of the metals and rocks collect closer to the star, making the more rocky planets, and then a lot of the gases actually get completely expelled out of the solar system. What sticks around collects and forms what are called the gas giants. Then usually any other objects past the gas giants are collected from things expelled from other solar systems including but not limited to asteroids, comets, blackholes and dead stars.

For Thera's solar system, the stars actually reabsorbed the gas giants because there are two of them. It isn't uncommon for gas giants to fall back into their star. If it weren't for Saturn, the same fate would have befallen Jupiter in our own, but the gravity pulling Jupiter the opposite direction was enough to stabilize our solar system into what it is now. With Jupiter and Saturn together, the other rocky planets have stabilized as well. It's also the reason most asteroids collect in the asteroid belt.

Some gas giants will get really close and develop a super fast orbit if they aren't absorbed. (There's a star out there with a super Jupiter orbiting the sun very closely every six minutes or something insane like that.)

Anyway, the solar system for Thera is a binary star system, which means there are two stars. There are many forms of binary star systems, but most stars have what's called a habitable zone and most binary star systems have habitable zones that overlap and then cross over to the burn zone (where water evaporates) and the cold zone (unofficial term, I'm just calling it that, but it's too cold to live there is the point).

So, how do I make a habitable zone that consistently sustains life (and doesn't constantly phase in and out of the burn and cold zones) in a binary star system? Well, I decided to make the second star similar to a super Jupiter closely orbiting the main star. The smaller star revolves around the bigger one so that its habitable zone never crosses the habitable zone of the bigger one. The small one's fast enough that the heat it gives off adds to the main star and extends the habitable zone a little further out. And there you have it! I made a planet!

So now, why don't Therans have the word planet? (If you read the book, Deshi mentions the word and the people there are just so confused by it.)

Now, I made it so that Thera is habitable with five moons, but how are there no other planets? Well, I modeled this solar system after our own, believe it or not. If you add a second star to our sun, this really messes up the gravity balance and orbits of our solar system. All the gas giants got absorbed by one star or another and all the rocky planets collided and came together, making moons for Thera and Thera becoming a super Earth. (Earth is roughly 40k miles around and Thera is roughly 60k miles. Yes, I thought up the miles because at some point, someone circumnavigates the arctic circle and I needed to know how long it would take to make it realistic.)

If you've heard the story about our moon, it is suspected that Theia, a twin planet of Earth, shared Earth's orbit and later collided into Earth. (Believe it or not, I called my planet Thera before I learned the twin's planet name was Theia. Just more of my muse being a genius without me…) This gave me the idea to have Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, our moon, Mars' moons, and a few of the rocky moons of the gas giants all combined to make Thera and its five moons.

Following how stars that eat their own solar systems like this one, what made it stop is actually the second star. Stars are always expelling energy, most commonly known to most people in the form of different types of rays. There's actually more than just rays, but it's not necessary to get into all of that. With the second star whipping around the main one, it's actually expelling more than normal. This is what keeps Thera where it is.

Okay, so we have the stars, the planet, the moons, and all of it works. Except now, the planet is getting double blasted by radiation and other things.

What protects Earth from radiation isn't just the ozone layer, but also the magnetic field. Now, I didn't feel like getting into physics just to figure out my planet, so I just winged the technicalities on this one, but magnetic fields vary just as much as solar systems do. What makes our magnetic field is the concentration of iron in the planet's mantel. However, I have a problem. Iron is rare on Thera. But, I have a fix for that.

The Hummes moon, while small, has a retrograde (opposite the planet's rotation) orbit because it is fast. It'll orbit Thera roughly 2.5 times in a Theran day. This is because I decided to create the Hummes moon with an extremely high concentration of iron. This also lines up with the lore (see last week's post) about Hummes "seeing treasures and seeking to claim them". Since iron is rare, it is seen as a treasure. They have a knack for tracking down the element. Like I said before, I didn't feel like working out the physics to see if this was possible, but it sounds legit enough to me. The moon is fast moving, creating a sort of magnetic field around Thera, and this protects the planet from enough radiation so that life can thrive, at least in places.

There's a lot more I've researched for the specifics of the planet and I thought this was going to be shorter than it was and continue on into how Thera is set up ground level, but I think I'll save that for next week.

On a sidenote, I'm now completely in love with making planets. If you want help making your own make sense or have questions about it, let me know. It's super fun for me. ^^

Thanks for joining me on My World Monday. See you next week for more specifics on the planet itself. If you have questions about what I have here, let me know. Or if you'd like to hear about something else, send an ask.

Suggestions for future My World Mondays:

How the planet works. (May combine with below.)

The types of biomes featured on the the planet and how Thera itself works.

Weather on the planet.

The great Hummes/Solara conflict.

A bit more about Marka, the kingdom with a perpetual sunset. (I'll do a map and explain how time works on Thera too because they kind of go hand in hand.)

Excluded the previous last option here because I've decided it might have more spoilers than I'd like and only describing two out of the five just seems unfair.

🌼AstroThoughts🌼

This is my first (and only) post that won’t really be an observation or note post, but more of a side notes of astrology like...thing. Stuff that I personally keep in mind. This is going to be more text heavy and less fun facts, and taken from personal experiences for sources

NOTE: I am nowhere close to a professional. I’m barely even a novice. I just like dabbling in this and looking at it every once in a while and now I “know” things (also I’m watching true crime videos so if I’m jumping all over the place....yeah)

🌻 Knowing your natal chart is imperative when taking in ‘astro observations’ or  things like that. You don’t have to know it inside or out, but knowing how your planets interact with each other and how they act within the houses will help you understand why a certain statement doesn’t resonate with you. 

If you can’t buy books, or don’t have the option to, there are a lot of other ways to go about learning: getting paid readings from astrologers you trust and using that information to help your research (for personal knowledge of course), googling various sites and putting the information together, conversing with people who share similar placements with you, or going through threads and seeing all the ways these placements can play out. Regardless it all involves using more than at least three sources and combining information for the best outcome

For example, lets take a look at my moon and my ic. When talking about childhood, people usually group up these two, which can be difficult for me because I have a Taurus Moon, and a Gemini IC, can be a little different. If you struggle with aspects to angles, finding apps that just find them for you until you get the hang of them are a good study buddy (an app I like is Charts for beginners and Time Nomad for people that are more comfortable). Just looking at aspects I can see that sun+, mars+, jupiter-, saturn+, uranus+, and pluto- are touching my ic, which sounds about right can give me a handle on how to view descriptions on childhood posts when seeing how people write up taurus and gemini. How about not looking at aspects though if that’s too difficult? Well, we can just break it down and try to pick out which descriptions fit us best with the knowledge that we have (because its our childhood, no one knows us better than us).  So considering Gem IC first; yes there was a lot of stimulation, not a strong sense of emotional stability. However I was very curious and dabbled in a lot of activities (or wanted to). I have no sense of familial bond or ‘home’ because I believe I can Make my own home where I go and it lies in the friends I make and not my family, which leads us to my Taurus Moon. Financial stability is something that was a goal, standards are set and made known, responsibility is given at a young age, etcetc. Using either method can give you better vision when reading notes like those. 

Second example: me, one friend (friend a), and another friend (friend b) are both cancer suns, venus, and virgo mars-- but we all give off completely different energies. Why is that? Well: friend a has her mars in her first house, her sun is in the 11th, and a sag moon in 4th. friend a can be polarizing and is not afraid to be aggressive even if she’s a very open and friendly person. Friend b has her sun in the 8th house, a scorpio moon in 11th, and mars in the 9th. Friend b is “goth”, except she’s goofy as all hell. Many people flocked to her in hs despite being open about wanting to be a mortician and her interests in those areas. I have a 6th house stellium which includes my sun, a taurus moon in 3rd, and mars in 8th. Its a running joke that I’m all set to be a housewife, my anger isnt as in your face as theirs and I’m more anxious. 

In conclusion: Not everything is covered obviously, but your aspects, ascendants and their rulers, placements, etc---all of that needs to be taken into account before you see a statement and think about how that applies to you and in what way it might! Observations or research aren’t necessarily straight up wrong, it just might be something in your chart getting in the way of that planet/aspect and making it display itself differently. This also is what makes me doubt astrology a lot but its fun as hell and nothing is real so

💫Synastry is completely subjective. There is no right or wrong overlay, aspect---anything. Once again, it depends on your chart (and regardless of astrology, just who you are as a person) for what is going to work with your relationship. Obviously share your experiences as it helps other people be able to get a grasp on how it might (keyword: Might) impact them if they have similar placements, but you still have to remember there is a separate person with a separate chart and their own mind involved in this as well

There is no easier or harder aspect or overlay. As people have said before: if you have a natal chart full of harsh aspects, if you get into a relationship that is made up of harsh aspects, it’s not going to shake you. Whereas if your chart has trines and sextiles, it might be a little wake-up call to your system that you have to work in order to keep this going. For overlays, if you have a strong placement or stellium in one house, you might either find yourself loving that overlay since you’re used to it, or find it boring because you already have that stimulation in your life so you want something else.

Ex; For personal placements that I tend to be attracted to, I see a pattern of them being cancer, scorpio, gemini, fire signs. Cancer = Cancer stellium with an exalted moon. Scorpio = Mars in the 8th house. Gemini = 3rd house moon & Gemini IC. Leo = My DSC, Sagittarius = My MC, and my 11th house. Aries = ? Its intercepted and I really have no actual fire placements besides angles so I’m probably seeking what I lack. So if we use me as an example or a beginning point-------Cancer and Gemini placements are ones that I feel comfortable with. I’m familiar with them and I feel like I can let my guard down around them. Geminis in particular I believe can give me stimulation which is something I seek for emotional comfort. For Leos, I tend to exhibit those qualities myself, so it can be a bit of love/hate, but it’s not unwelcome, while for Sagittarius I tend to enjoy being around because I like their energy and how they interact with the world. Can they be a lot? Absolutely, but I’m also very “docile” in comparison, and they push me to not be. Aries I tend to get into arguments with a Lot, but I don’t shy away from them because they hold a lot of qualities that I, once again, want to hold within myself. Lastly, Scorpios are cute. They’re not intimidating as often described they just love a lot and are very sensitive and aren’t stupid enough to give out the love they know they can if they know it won’t be given back, which is something I find adorable when witnessed and an easy bullying point if they’re a close friend or relative. 

Fun test for beginnings or people who want to learn: can you take this small passage and link it back to my placements and see how they connect?

So for me, I might be comfortable with water overlays, I have multiple fire overlays with my friends...and that’s about it. there are scattered air and earth overlays, but I barely feel those. One of those would be a constant 7th house overlay which is hilarious because 7th house is always seen as god’s gift to overlays, but I (personally) don’t feel it at all. That would be because that’s not the most important planet/sign/aspect in my own natal chart, so I don’t place importance on it without even trying. 

🚀Signs =/= Houses necessarily. Yeah they’re associated with each other for a reason, or else we’d be going around saying Pisces is in charge of finances and wealth, but at the same time they are not interchangeable. This is mainly about when you need to take in information about how a placement is acting and what to be looking for to recognize it, especially when the descriptions for a sign and a house are Completely different--it’s all about picking things apart and finding what you need (again).

Now this bullet I’m much less confident about, so 100% do your research behind me before just taking in information, but it’s a a lot like how sun signs and sun houses will display and manifest themselves a Lot differently because their key qualities are focused on different things.

Let’s tease my favorite scorpio placements for this one to bring it full circle! My dad is a scorpio, meanwhile my best friend has her sun in the 8th house. You would 100% guess my friend to be the scorpio and my dad something else (more a mutable sign). My dad is very stubborn and Extremely giving and loving with the people that he lets into his life. I’m  also pretty sure if he finds out I’m talking about him publicly like this he’s going to whine for at least two minutes too. However if you cross him, he won’t forget, like ever. He’s a big baby though like he’s harmless even though he doesn’t look it. My Friend However, she is not harmless. As I mentioned before: interested in mortuary science (became a mortician), fave series are ones like tokyo ghoul and laughed reading junji ito, doesn’t shy away from dark topics, once threatened me loudly in a public space without hesitating because she wanted me to be okay and has actually gotten into a couple of tiny fights when younger. The things they do have in common though is that they hold onto things about themselves that “aren’t important” and I have to drag it out of them (and they end up being very upsetting), they feel things very intensely, they are some of the sweetest people I have ever met and their loyalty is Unmatched.

So like I said, there is a reason the signs are matched to the houses, but they cannot exactly always just be replaced with each other and it depends on the context and what you’re reading or looking for of course! A really good post I love on sun signs for this is actually written up by @lilmajorshawty​, and they have a lot of good posts that I like to go back and refer to!

These are all the things that I could think of currently, so if you have anything you want to add feel free I will not be looking, but if you did read this entire thing: you have a lot of patience, thank you. Enjoy your day!

TFP Megatronus x Orion Pax Experimental Concept Playlist: The Timescale of Cybertronian Lives + Music from 1890 - 2021

I know there are tons of playlists for these characters out there, but I’m trying to do something a little less conventional with this one; Please hear me out! 

Two Playlists in One: Love Throughout The Ages 

The first half of this playlist is almost all new music mixed in with some hits from the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. to give variety, plus tracks from different genres so that hopefully everyone has a song they can enjoy in there somewhere.

For the second half of the playlist, I wanted to emphasise the idea of how long the war on Cybertron has been going on for, and just how old this conflict and the people involved actually are. 

Cybertronian Timescale: Long Lives and The Perception of Time 

We think of the Orion Pax / Megatronus stage of their relationship as being relatively brief, which it was in comparison to how long the war has been going on for as of TFP, but these are people who live for centuries. The scope of that is staggering. 

Optimus Prime and Megatron have known each other personally (either positively or negatively) for longer than modern human civilisation has existed. 

So to me, the best way to touch on that idea of time, musically, is to have the first half of the playlist be modern music, remixes, etc. and then the second half is well known and lesser known hits throughout early radio/TV (with many tracks on this playlist pre-dating those forms of media as well). 

What’s on the Playlist, Then?

My grandmother was born in 1914, and her music collection spans nearly 100 years. It’s all good stuff.

I have included some of her favourites, which she always called her “sweetheart jingles”, on this soundtrack. I think many of them work surprisingly well for the Megatronus/Orion Pax relationship.

Many of these songs will probably be unknown by the vast majority of people who might want to listen to this playlist, which is also appealing to me. (I hope if this is your first time hearing some of these, that you enjoy a few of them!)

My parents were born in 1944, and I remember all of the classics they would play; Some of those tracks will be more recognisable as this was the era when radio and TV became far more common and accessible, but I picked the tracks that I think best apply to the pairing and the relationship between the two characters at that point in their lives. 

The link to the playlist is below after some notes on Cybertronian language evolution! 

Quick Thought: Cybertronian Language Over Time and Era Specific Speech Patterns 

While thinking about my grandmother’s music collection as I assembled this playlist, I thought about some of the words and phrases she used commonly that are now totally non-existent in modern conversational English. 

She had what would probably sound to most people like “1930s radio voice” or a more Trans-Atlantic Accent way of speaking; She grew up in the Northeast USA and so she had a very distinctive way of stressing the vowels in words. It’s not just the words themselves, or how they were pronounced, but the tone and pace of speech was also very different. 

This got me thinking about Cybertronians, age, and speech:

Bots as old as Ratchet may have grown up with a totally different spoken language version of Cybertronian, and we already know that there are regional dialects, multiple written forms (glyphs), and era-specific types of Cybertronian language. 

But the way they speak, as I mentioned above with the stressing of vowels and the tone and pace of speech, might still be different due to the different eras, even after language packs/programs are downloaded and updated periodically as needed. We already know Cybertronians have regional accents, so it stands that generational accents would also possibly exist as well. 

Such a difference in speech patterns could possibly be used as a primary indicator of relative age on Cybertron, as physically they don’t age in the sense human beings do. 

Back to the Playlist: Link + Track List + Notes on Audio Prior to 1930

The playlist is here on YouTube. 

Scroll down to get to the second half (oldies section) if that’s what you’re here for! 

Please note that the songs are not arranged in any particular order aside from the first half being newer music and the second half being far older music.

Also note, where original recordings are available on YouTube for some of the older songs, I have used those original recording versions. 

However, keep in mind that there may be a couple seconds of “fuzz” at the top (start) of those older tracks, because they have been recorded from records or wax cylinders, which are formats of music that typically had a “pause” on the track to allow for needle and speed calibration when playing them manually. Modern records don’t do this in quite the same way and nobody uses wax cylinders anymore, but older records typically did. If this bothers you, skip ahead about two seconds or so, and it will resolve. 

Tempo may seem slightly “fast” on two of the tracks due to difficulties with the medium and modern recording tech/methods, and one track has some persistent “fuzz” throughout due to the original recording being rare and therefore it is a “best copy available” type archival recording, but otherwise I’ve managed to find the clearest audio possible for the vast majority of the older songs! 

(Fun music note, the “click track” in modern digital music was partially inspired by the clicking of the needle hitting the “countdown grooves” on old cylinders and records, which creates an audible mild clicking sound as the needle finds the groove and provides time for usually a half rotation or full rotation of the record before the track actually begins to allow for adjustment before the music starts! If the clicking is too fast, dial down the rotation speed, for example. 

This itself was inspired by classical metronomes as well as the actual physical method of playing the music in this way, but it’s cool to see how this persists throughout musical history even now when we don’t need the click for digital production for quite the same reasons/applications. It’s all about timing, no matter the medium or era!)

Due to the method of how some player piano rolls were credited, often by roll company and not by individuals, the actual artist name is often not available for those tracks. Where possible and where known, I have included credits to the artists/musicians. I have done my best to research and find the artists in these recordings. 

I have also included orchestrions and other “automated” music in addition to a player piano track as I think it’s interesting; These are often very old compositions being played on these machines, and as such are designed to reflect the earliest days of their relationship. 

Songs range from the years 1890 to 2021, and I will add more as I manage to find YouTube videos with some of the older songs I’m still looking for. 

By the way, if you need a love song for like an actual partner or crush that you have, I’m just going to say it now and point out that a lot of these classics are great to use in real life for cute purposes. My partner of ten years agrees, and my grandparents were married for over 60 years and sang many of these daily, so obviously something here works well. You’re welcome. ;) 

Below the cut is a track list of the second half of the playlist, as it’s 7 AM and I’d like to emphasise the “classics” section here as it’s the central theme of the concept.

I will add to this list as more tracks are added:

Skip this song if you would prefer not to hear it; I have done my best to only include songs that are friendly to the modern listener, but where needed I will make annotations such as this one to ensure nobody has to hear anything potentially offensive, as is unfortunately often the case with older music/lyrics.)

Come a Little Bit Closer - Jay and the Americans 

Sh-Boom - The Crew Cuts

Oh Boy - Buddy Holly

Hilarious Yet Terrible Astrological Groupthink

I've been waiting MONTHS to see why other astrologers haven't been giving Bernie Sanders enough thought this election year. I've been waiting to see what some of the other professional astrologers who do election predictions say, and they're finally out. And now I understand why no one else came up with what I came up with because at least two of them are taking their notes from an astrologer—who got the 2016 election wrong because she didn’t think Trump would win because his chart wasn’t strong enough. In retrospect I can tell this astrologer came to the wrong conclusion. 

Now we’re in September, which will see the most turbulent changes in the run-up to the 2020 Presidential Election, I can see by what is being published that the hour of my vindication is nigh. The “October surprise” to end all other October surprises is upon us; although, it’s probably going to happen in September instead of October.

At the beginning of 2020, I watched a YouTube video by Joni Patry where she was talking briefly about the next presidential administration. I haven’t been able to identify the exact video even though I’ve tried, but I’m not going to invest hours upon hours trying to find this one video. Anyhow, I remember her specifically saying that “[it] was going to be like the 1960s but more conservative.” And I was like, “What?!” That makes no sense. She was specifically identifying the next presidential administration as conservative, yet linking it to the 1960s, which wasn’t a period dominated by political “conservatives.” JFK won the 1960 election and LBJ became president a few years afterwards. She seemed to be referencing the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, yet was saying it was going to be more “conservative” than the version of what happened in the 1960s. I wasn’t sure what her basis for saying this was at the time because she didn’t elaborate. However, I realize what it is now even though I couldn’t put the pieces together at the time.

Continuing on to this past March, Joni did a video titled “Future of Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and President Trump.” I commented on it in a previous post how she was not using a good birth time for Bernie, and this would result in an incorrect prediction. The time she was using was literally discredited as an accurate time by astro.com four to five years ago, and she clearly hasn’t updated her database with that information yet. I’m still surprised that she didn’t use the time rectified by Edith Hathaway in 2015, but given how very dismissive Joni was of Bernie’s chances, I bet this is going to end up being a learning experience for her. Surprisingly, Joni was very bullish on Joe Biden’s chances in this video.

Then comes August, where Joni has two election videos. First one was titled, “Who Will Be the Next President?” I find this title practically trolling because the answer has always been fairly obvious to me, but I guess when you’re a professional charging $350 per hour, perhaps finding the answer via research and hard work is not easy? I don’t know…I mean, I’m a rank amateur, and I figured it out months prior to this. Anyhow, she couldn’t come up with a conclusive answer on who will win. Gee, interesting considering back in March she was practically touting Biden. I will say that she was correct in this video in pointing out that something will change, and she is also correct in that Biden will probably pull out before Election Day. But then she puts it out there that Trump will be re-elected. I mean, the temptation of calling Trump a one-term president clearly isn’t pressing…no matter how fucking obvious it is!!!

The second (relevant) August video is where she kind of goes over the 2021 US Presidential Inauguration chart. I’ve written quite a bit about this chart in various posts. Her video on it was disappointing to say the least. It’s basically Fear Porn about the election and next administration. I say that because she says the person elected won’t stay in office. (Not true.) She seemingly attributes this to Uranus conjunct Mars, but this theory is bullshit since it didn’t apply to FDR. She said there is “violent change” that will happen, which she also attributed to the Uranus/Mars conjunction. Also bullshit, since again, it didn’t work that way when something similar happened in the 1937 Inauguration chart with FDR. 

Then she goes on to say that this chart has a “dark shadow side.” What’s the basis for this? Oh, Pluto is in Capricorn. Let’s be honest, Pluto is going to have to be somewhere in the chart. It can’t just disappear from the solar system and then pop back in when we want it. And is Pluto even tightly conjunct any graha/planet in this chart? Nope. It’s a whopping six degrees away from the Sun, and nothing else is even close. Because Pluto is such a slow-moving planet, it really needs to be closely conjunct a planet to become relevant. Within three degrees would be relevant, for me at least. You can make an argument for within five degrees but anything beyond that…well, you’re really reaching then. But that’s what she did. I guess it’s better to get people emotionally worked up and scared watching your YouTube videos than do historical research on the inauguration charts.

The only relevant thing I heard Joni say in this video was “major transformational change.” Hm, I wonder who that could be? Let me think. Is Joe Biden someone who would be an agent of transformational change? Nope. Kamala Harris? Well, Wall Street loves her so probably not. Donald Trump? Well, we already know how is administration is going. Doesn’t look to me like “major transformational change.” Mike Pence? Nope, he’s way too milquetoast to qualify for that label. Hm. Who could it be? Who? Who? Like, the answer is so damn fucking obvious that I torn believing she’s either really dumb & can’t figure it out or just flat-out trolling & dragging it out for clicks, likes, and views on her YouTube channel. Obviously the only political figure of the moment who could qualify as “major transformational change” is Bernie Sanders.

So finally on this past Sunday night (30 August), Juliana Swanson published her 2020 Presidential Election forecast. As someone who posted their prediction months ago—11 March 2020, baby!—I was looking forward to seeing and reading…something that turned out to be completely influenced by the astrologer who got 2016 wrong. How do I know that? Well, the third paragraph was what gave it away.

“First of all, I believe Trump will ultimately win the election based on the epochal conjunction of Jupiter-Saturn in sidereal Capricorn on December 21 on the Winter Solstice. Vedic astrology describes this conjunction as a planetary war (graha yuddha), and in this “war,” Saturn will defeat Jupiter. Jupiter symbolizes Globalism and Liberalism (the Democrats), whereas Saturn represents Nationalism and Conservatism (the Republicans). Simply put, Trump is a Nationalist, and the Nationalists will gain power over the Globalists in the planetary war in December."

I know your first reaction to reading that paragraph is probably: What the fuck?

1) Exactly.

2) I’ve read justifications like this before from another Vedic astrologer and know exactly who writes like this: Edith Hathaway.

Edith Hathaway is the astrologer I mentioned up at the top who got 2016 wrong. I’ll get to Edith in more depth in just a minute, but first a couple more comments about Juliana’s post. I completely disagree with her on some of her interpretations, particularly on whether Kamala could become VP or Prez. Specifically, I disagree regarding her comments regarding “ashtami shani” (Saturn 8th from the Moon or ascendant) preventing her from ascending to a powerful position such as the VP position this election. FDR won election the presidency in different years when he had ashtami shani from either his ascendant or Moon. This is not a problem. Saturn aspecting the 5th house also is not a problem. When I did a review of presidents going back to McKinley, a Saturn aspect to the 5th house tends to be quite common.

I should note that Juliana even gives a caveat at the end of her prediction:

"This forecast is my best estimate of the outcome of the upcoming election in November. Again it’s important to remember that no astrologer – myself very much included – can be 100% accurate when trying to prognosticate about the future. We are afflicted by Shiva’s Curse, which is an allegory on free will. It is interpreted many ways, one of which is that the best astrologers can only be 70% accurate when analyzing a horoscope or forecasting the future. This is all to say that not everything in life is preordained, but is evolving based on collective and individual free-will karma, and many things can happen between now and the election that would void my prediction of a Trump victory."

So…does she believe her own prediction or is this truly a CYA move because she doesn’t want to really go out on limb and say something even more risky? Because I find this caveat somewhat lazy and unrealistic. Yeah, maybe astrologers can only be correct about someone’s life when you’re only looking at one birth chart. However, there are a multitude of options available aside from personal birth charts of the candidates in this election. The Kelleher USA chart--which Juliana uses--indicates a change in government. Does she not realize this? A major solar eclipse happened in the 10th house from the Arudha lagna in the USA chart this past June, surely indicating a change in government? Does she also not realize this? These are obvious, obvious signs of change.

She can whine all she wants about Shiva’s curse and 70%, but I would swear James Kelleher bats better than 70% when it comes to mundane (world events) astrology. I mean, here I am--a rank amateur--on a pithy tumblr blog writing about a major upcoming turn in the most contentious presidential election in history. But I’m putting that turn out there with some specifics. And I’ve been consistent that something is probably going to happen to Joe Biden since March. I’m not hiding behind a “I can only be 70% right” batting average. Did I mention that she also charges something like $250 per hour?

Now we come to the source of this groupthink going on. The source for Joni Patry making the comment I mentioned at the beginning about how things were going to be like the 60s but “conservative.” The source for Juliana Swanson’s eloquently reasoned dipshittery. That is Edith Hathaway. Edith is a well-respected Vedic astrologer, whose book In Search of Destiny was a seminal work in terms of placing the Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in context within world events and history. I particularly liked some of her articles from a few years ago, such as her article on Edward Snowden.

In 2016 Edith Hathaway predicted Hilary Clinton would win over Donald Trump. She discarded the obvious signs in Trump’s chart in favor of her techniques regarding the placement of Jupiter & Saturn when they squared (while being in Leo & Scorpio, respectively). At the specific time Jupiter & Saturn squared each other, Rahu was conjunct Jupiter in Leo. Since Leo and Scorpio are fixed signs, Edith determined that the presidency would not change hands. I discovered this when she discussed this method during a Saptarishi video. 

I haven’t gone back through US electoral history to verify this, but I suspect she misinterpreted what happened with the 2016 square. She interpreted to be that the Democratic party would retain the presidency but that the winner would be an outsider. Hence, she predicted that Bernie Sanders would be the winner in early 2016. Obviously this did not come to pass. But when I look at the transits to Bernie’s chart in November of 2016, I don’t think he was meant to win since he really didn’t have the aspects to his 10th house for that to happen. I suspect that Rahu conjunct Jupiter during the square meant that it would change from Democratic to Republican in 2016.

She also mentioned in this Saptarishi video that because Hillary Clinton had a gandanta Saturn in Cancer in her chart, then she could justify the 2017 Inauguration chart indicated her because that chart also has a gandanta Saturn. Obviously, this matchy-matchy technique did not work. In this video they also briefly discussed that the USA started a Rahu mahadasha/time period. However, Edith did not think this was at all relevant. (Hint: it was and still is!)

I’ve noticed in the last couple years that Edith’s writings have taken a very right-wing political turn. Previously, when she was citing news sources for her articles, it was more evenly balanced between sides of the political spectrum. Currently, I see that she’s exclusively using right-wing media sources. I say this not as a direct attack on right-wing media, but when your information sources are so one-sided when writing about worldwide affairs—the way she writes about mundane events—that it’s going to skew your perception of events.

Edith has two articles on her blog from August 2019 titled “Immigration—the Defining Issue of the 2020 U.S. Election.” When I first saw that last year I was like, “Okay…” I gave them a read because even though I did not agree with that assertion I wanted to see what her astrological justification was. And her justification was…the upcoming 2020 Jupiter-Saturn conjunction.

First, the small fact that she even identified immigration as a “defining” issue should have been the first warning sign. Her article basically reads as if all the Democrats are evil and hate their country because they’re letting immigrants come into it. I can never cease to see the irony of a white person complaining about this when Europeans completely invaded the territory of the native/indigenous people living in the US. Multiple. Times. (Also, I have always been of the opinion that migration is part of human life. So many stories in different cultures about how one group moved from here to there. Certainly not the harbinger of the end times because people shifted where they were living from. Anyway...) 

The whole article is very simplistic thinking when it comes to migration and  trying to make the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction fit her opinion. Overly simplistic, I should say since neither Rahu nor Ketu are mentioned. Both Rahu and Ketu are grahas/planets that indicate foreigners. And who really thinks at this point that immigration is the defining issue of 2020? That article has clearly not held up over time.

Her next article from December 2019 was on the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction that will happen in December of 2020, aka “The Tipping Point.” Within this article she correlates Brexit and Trump to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, which is a massive overreach. Both the USA and UK are running Rahu mahadashas/time periods, so Brexit and Trump are actually more indicative of these countries running Rahu mahadashas instead of the upcoming Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. Immigration being part of the national discourse during a Rahu period is just par for the course.

The UK started its current Rahu mahadasha in December of 2012. The UK Prime Minister at the time, David Cameron, announced a referendum on 23 January 2013. See the timing there? The announcement happened after the start of the Rahu period. The vote to leave occurred on 23 June 2016 during the Rahu-Jupiter dasa/period. Jupiter rules the 7th house of opponents, allies, & partnerships in the UK chart, so this is clearly and easily seen via the UK’s chart, not an upcoming (Jupiter-Saturn) conjunction a four years away.

The USA started its current Rahu mahadasha in September 2016. Since Rahu is a significator of foreigners, it also makes it the significator of “outsiders.” Donald Trump—an outsider to politics—ran and won the US presidency during the USA’s Rahu mahadasha. Does Edith bother to consider these factors in her article? Nope! Instead, we get an overworked rationale trying to connect Globalization and the Democrats to an Illuminati-like conspiracy.

If you haven’t noticed by now, Edith really loves the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction and loves trying to make EVERYTHING fit into that either-or landscape. (Fixated & obsessed might be better words though.) Sure enough, she’s making the 2020 Presidential Election fit into that very same dichotomy. Forget birth charts, nation charts, and inauguration charts, only the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction matters to her now. In 2016, she didn’t think Trump’s chart was strong enough to beat Hillary. Now in 2020, Trump’s chart is strong enough to win and oh, hey, let’s link him even further to the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction because no other astrological techniques matter.

In 2016, this is what her long-term forecasting for the presidency looked like:

"Based on my 160-yr predictive model, 1940-2100, I have previously predicted that the Democrats will dominate the White House for the next 28 years starting from 2020, with an 8-year break at the 12 year mark (2032). This is when Jupiter completes one orbit around the Sun from the year 2020."

For her 2020 prediction, this is what she’s now writing:

Donald Trump is the first American president to reject this huge Marxist/Globalist project, and the first American president to turn back the tide of Globalism on so many levels, including the tightening of U.S. policy towards China. This has major implications for the reversal of trends I have predicted as of 2020, with Trump and the Nationalists winning the war over the Marxists and Globalists. This was foreshadowed since 2016 with the U.S. election of President Trump and the UK’s passage of Brexit.

Yes, I’m sure you can spot the craziness. The Marxists and the Globalists are working together to defeat the savior of the U.S. of A., aka Donald Trump. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this paragraph:

If the individual questions a decision of the collective (which can easily devolve into a mob-like mentality), he or she can be ostracized, fired from their job, jailed, or even executed in short order.  Such is the bloodstained history of Marxism and Communism around the world.  And as Leftists in the U.S. and elsewhere are increasingly pushing for socialism, we know where this leads.  Vladimir Lenin told us some 100 years ago: “The goal of Socialism is Communism.”

She’s not basing her prediction on actual astrology. She’s basing her presidential election prediction on her personal political beliefs, and then retconning the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction to fit what she wants to say. In addition, it’s affecting the views of other astrologers because everyone took her work previous to 2016 so seriously. We can see specifically through the words Juliana Swanson used (above) that she has been infected with this pablum. I’m not sure how many other astrologers were affected because Edith gave a presentation in Dallas, Texas, in October 2019 where she was talking about this mess. I didn’t realize how much she had gone off the rails—okay, I missed the obvious signs in 2019—until she posted her 2020 election predictions.

When I saw Simon’s video earlier this year, which I posted previously, I didn’t understand his comments about other astrologers predicting Trump winning in 2020, when these same astrologers said he couldn’t win in 2016. But now I completely understand. Simon posted the video in February 2020, and his prasna is dated 14 December 2019. I can only assume Edith Hathaway’s articles and presentation at the October conference were either a primary or partial motivation for his prasna and subsequent video.

I had been wondering for months why Edith Hathaway, whose rectification of Bernie Sanders’ birth time I use (and really works), has been silent on his chart and his chances. Well, now I know because she’s fallen down some Q-anon-like rabbit hole and is using Vedic astrology to justify it. You have to wonder what kind of news she’s watching because union leaders just declared “war” on Trump, which directly contradicts everything she’s saying in her prediction analysis.

For so, so, so, so long I was basically feeling like this:

Basically all summer long since I kept wondering when other astrologers were going to come around to what I’ve been saying for so long. But ever since I read Edith’s predictions a few days ago (when it became available), I haven’t been able to stop laughing about it. Because she—of anyone—had all the tools to make a correct prediction and instead she threw it all away.

I might never stop laughing about it though. Because once you realize the inside baseball factors going on, it’s such a major oversight. These three people had and have the tools to come up with a correct prediction. It’s not that hard. I did it, and I’m just some random tumblr blogger who took Edith’s earlier work seriously and used it. Instead, you have someone throwing their hands up in the air, another one claiming it’s only possible to be 70% right, and the last one who’s stuck in a right-wing Wonderland. I have zero sympathy for the three of them. (Although I probably would pay money to be a fly on the wall on election night just to watch Edith’s freakout and meltdown.)

I’ve been wondering for so long when things were going to turn. Was it going to be in May when planets station and go retrograde? Nope. Was it going to be in July or August when we had the social planets (Saturn & Rahu) in a 6/8 relationship indicating a shocking death? Sadly, no. (RIP Chadwick) Was it going to be shortly after the conventions in a reverse-Thomas Eagleton-type move? Nope. Well, at least, not yet.

No, it’s going to turn at the last possible moment because 2020 is the Drama Queen of Drama Queens. 2020 wants the title of the best/worst “October Surprise,” which will probably happen in September. Specifically, it can happen anytime between 09 September and 03 October. I have my eye on the period between 09 September and 19 September, particularly because the nodes change on the 19th. Because what’s already a contentious election is going to become even more contentious. I’ve long suspected that any anger and violence that would escalate during Mars going retrograde this fall would be due to opposition to Bernie being on the ticket. It appears my assumption is about to be confirmed.

Prepare for major gloating on my blog when some sweet, sweet vindication comes my way. Soon. Very soon.

And any Bernie voters & volunteers who have made it to the end of this post: clear your schedule, get your chores done, and get prepared to turn this thing around on a moment’s notice. The time is coming.

We’re going to get the populist match-up of the 21st century: Donald Trump vs. Bernie Sanders.

A project I had to do for school but ended up liking enough for posting on here. I hope you like it too 💙

A fairy tale is something that children grasp on for something that is different from harsh and rough reality. Fairy tales give children a new world to live in for a temporary time while reading and includes magic and imaginary beings or lands. Some may star a beautiful princess that goes through a turbulent of identity finding events for this said princess. Then she runs into a handsome prince that sweeps her away into his arms, dances away in the night, ends it with a kiss and they both live “Happily Ever After”. I once was a girl that was missing my two front teeth but yet still imagining my handsome prince finding me. However, I did end up living my own, and it is my secret but I am willing to share it with you. But, it wasn’t exactly plotted like how the Grimms Brothers or Hans Chrisitian Andersen had written their fairy tales. In fact, mine doesn’t include a prince at all. Mine is about a girl that grasped something that is different from harsh and rough reality. 

I can argue with anyone that Zendaux is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I live in a secluded area where it is surrounded by grass fields as far as the eye can see except for the litter of forestation that is near my house.  My house was crafted by my grandfather in 1954 and was designed to be exactly how my grandmother wanted it. It has a burgundy tiled roof and a glorious wrap-around porch that I’ve always found so lovely. He named it Willow Avenue since my grandma is named Willow and they met on Locust Avenue. They had a tradition before they both passed away to visit Locust Avenue at least once a year together. My grandpa even brought my grandma’s urn with him on his last trip before he joined her in heaven. Then my dad would bring both of their urns to Locust Avenue, I went on these trips with him too before… he died. My mom was going to sell the house once my dad died, and I was so devastated at that news so I knew I had to do something. So I bought it instead. The air this early in the morning filled my nose with the freshness of the morning dew that is sprinkled over the shamrock green soft grass. In my childhood I would roll down the hills that are lining the horizon and run to jump into my dad’s outstretched arms. He’d place his hard calloused hands on my soft small arms as I was trying to wriggle out with all my might to run back up the hill. Then he’d laugh after me like he always did and say “Goodbye my Lightning Bug!” As I was fully enveloped in my nostalgia, suddenly I heard an earsplitting sound that resembled a deer that perhaps has eaten too much sugar. Then I gasped in amazement as the tallest tree to reach the skies began falling eastward. The hoarse cracks of ancient tree bark snapping at the roots, and then the thud the tree made once it reached the ground made a deep sound that proved to me that trees don’t make much of a sound once they fall. 

Suddenly a large swish erupted in the air and that roaring sound from earlier broke through the silence that once was. I felt my defense kick in as I jumped in surprise from the sound, then I fell into a large grin. Other than a different squirrel that appears on the porch, you don’t normally see mysterious events happen at Willow Avenue. I stood up from the porch swing and began searching the trees that I could see from my position frantically. Then out of nowhere I saw a large juniper wing that resembled the canopy of a tree that soared over and surpassed the height of the other trees. Then became hidden back into the forestation as quickly as it was exposed. I know what that is; I wouldn’t be able to forget all of the bedtime stories that my dad would tell me. I have a dragon living in my woodlands.“Okay, okay.” I said breathily “I have a dragon in my front yard. Oh when you say it like that Whitney you sound crazy.” Then I realized that there is literally no other way to state what is happening. I sighed “I have a dragon in my front yard. Okay. Let’s think, what would Dad do?” He’d probably walk calmly up to the forest and greet the dragon like an old friend that has been a recluse for years. He was a strong believer in that everyone and everything has something beneficial to the world. I began pacing back and forth on my porch, and I flung open the front door to Willow Avenue possibly too hard, and bolted up the stairs like I would when I was younger once I would feel like something scary was chasing me. I knew the layout to this house like I knew the back of my hand, so I took the familiar route to the room that stored all of my Dad’s research papers. I used to never be able to touch these, for even my dad said that what was in them I should not know at that moment. He said I wasn’t ready. “Sorry Dad. I need to read these. You’d say this is a vital moment for your notes.” I knew exactly which book I needed since I have been eyeing and desiring to know the contents of it since I came in here for the first time when I was 7 years old. I grabbed a large dusty book that had 7 capital letters on the front that spelt DRAGONS and Austin Woodruff lining the bottom of the book. Austin is my dad, and I know that he meant for me to read this when I would need it because in the inside of the book where typically the author’s note would be; I read a letter that appeared to be written for me. “Whitney, there are secrets about the world that I should and could never tell you. Although I know that you will need this information to stay safe. I hope that you find what you are looking for in here. I love you to Jupiter and back. Love, your father.” I suddenly noticed that a tear of mine dripped onto the page. “Dang it.” I whispered as I dabbed where I wet the page. “I love you to Jupiter and back too Dad.” I repeated like I did when I was younger going to bed. With new determination, I began the search for what specifically I am dealing with in my own front yard that has now become a fantastical forest. Slowly, I flipped the first page and began to read what my own father had discovered about dragons-a creature that I thought could not exist in my universe. The first page covered what a dragon is and what one may look like, the third page explained how to groom one properly, and the seventeenth page was directions to where I could sell their talons. I was getting emerged in the information this book was providing that I have been imagining reading for decades, but then I heard that screech again. Quickly, I scrambled up on my feet and rushed to the window where I could spot the whole forest. However, somehow I still could not fully see the dragon, only the same two wings. “Come on, I need to hurry up and find what I can do.” I flicked quicker through the pages and I stopped abruptly when I saw exactly what I was looking for. There was a dragon drawn on this page and it resembled the wings exactly to the one that is living in my forest. “Ahah!” I yelled in success. Swiftly, I sped read the section about the “Greenland Hornshakle Dragon” and I read out loud the paragraph I needed. “These are hostile creatures. Do not approach them. Your life is at risk if you do so. No way to tame them.” as I was reading I suddenly felt scared, I thought I hadn’t found anything I could use to protect myself and Willow Avenue. Fortunately, my dad provided that solution for me. He wrote that I need to use his Willow wood Staff that has been passed down from generation to generation in his family and I would’ve been the rightful heir to it if he hadn’t died before having the chance to tell me himself. For the second time since I’ve been in this room, I heard the ear splitting screech once again from my dragon. I slammed my book and Also, I heard sirens arriving in the forest from the police station. They must’ve been alarmed, and I watched as the police troops began chasing impulsively towards the yells. This time I saw both of the dark green wings flash above the highest canopy of the trees. I need to hurry up and figure out what to do. Instantaneously, I remembered that my dad was the master of fantastic fantasy events.Taking a deep breath I began sprinting towards the woods that I have lived next to my whole life. Once I stepped past the first tree, I felt that eerie silence that fills these woods all of the time, but now it doesn’t scare me. I run further and deeper into the woods continuously now feeling the bouldering yell of the dragon on the soles of my feet as if the yell is pushing me to where the dragon is. I desperately was trying to search the floor and sky for the dragon, and then I swallowed a breath as I saw it. It was a colossal verdant dragon that nearly towered over the tallest sequoia trees that have been growing here before all civilization has. I paused abruptly and almost tumbled down onto the muddy floor as I was able to make eye contact with its amber eyes. The police troops already got here before I did, for they were already gathering strategy on how to push the dragon out of the forest.

My staggering and uneven gasps of air must’ve alarmed the dragon because it moved with a start. I had to duck into a bush because the dragon swiped its tail panicky into the nearest sequoia making a booming sound that we all covered our ears for. The dragon groggily tried to stand up, but as soon as it stood on it’s left foot it staggered back onto the ground. I looked quizzically at this dragon that I thought would be disastrous and a nightmare, but instead it was timid, scared, and more like a mouse than a dragon. I relaxed my shoulders and began walking slowly to the shrinking dragon, and I noticed that the dragon was a girl because once she scooted over I saw one baby dragon that was as tall as a full grown giraffe. “Hey hey! Stop! This dragon is a mom!” The police lowered their limitless weapons and opened their eyes in clarity. Compared to the giant mom dragon and the ginormous sequoias surrounding this family, the police, and I; it made the baby dragon seem just like another dust fragment in this universe like all of us humans are. I compared the two dragons and noticed that the mom has a longer snout while the baby has more of a robust snout, so I assumed the dragon was a baby boy. The baby dragon hid behind his mother’s leg and the mother dragon put her wing over him as a warmth method. I hadn’t realized it until now, but I have goosebumps wrapping around my arms and my knees have been shivering. I wrap my arms around myself, and let out a shuddering breath from the cold. Then, Mom dragon scooted a little closer to me and lifted up a tremendous wing as an invitation to enter. Carefully, I entered the warmth that a dragon can give to something apparently.

“Whitney! Are you okay?” I heard the chief of police yell at me “Yes. I am okay. You guys are fine to go. Thanks for your service.” I said as a response, but freezing at this point and the forest is a lot more frigid since the canopies cover the sunlight from entering. “No we cannot leave her here sir! That dragon is a menace! It will try eating her as soon as we leave!” I heard a new voice command to the chief. “No we leave now, that’s an order.” I watched as all of the police began following the chief except for that man that didn’t think it was right. “Graham! We leave now.” Graham did not want to be moved. He stood staring at the mom dragon, but then he did begin to turn around and walk away. However, as soon as the chief turned around Graham cocked his gun and you only heard pop once. I have always been impulsive and ambitious, but sensible people would’ve said I went a bit too far. But I knew I had to do this, I had to do something above myself. I jumped out from under the wing and instantly felt a pang in my chest. I felt my chest hotten as if I pressed a hot ready iron onto it. I heaved forward and realized that I couldn’t quite grasp for air. I could only hear and see at this point. I heard the mom dragon screech and she brought her head down to me as all the police were watching and the chief rushed to my side. “Whitney! Whitney! Say something!” I think that’s the chief yelling. “Go. Fly…” I whispered to the mom dragon, and she must’ve understood because I couldn’t see or hear her or the baby boy anymore. My chest began hurting even worse than before and suddenly I couldn’t hear anything anymore except for four words that I’ve been waiting 12 years to hear, “Hello my Lightning Bug.”.

Venus flyby reveals low-frequency radio signal detected in the planet's atmosphere

https://sciencespies.com/space/venus-flyby-reveals-low-frequency-radio-signal-detected-in-the-planets-atmosphere/

Venus flyby reveals low-frequency radio signal detected in the planet's atmosphere

During a close flyby of the planet Venus in July 2020, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe detected something odd.

As it dipped just 833 kilometers (517 miles) above the Venusian surface, the probe’s instruments recorded a low-frequency radio signal – a telltale sign that Parker had skimmed through the ionosphere, a layer of the planet’s upper atmosphere.

This was the first time an instrument had been able to record direct in situ measurements of Venus’ upper atmosphere in nearly three decades, and the data recorded gives us a new understanding of how Venus changes in response to cyclic changes in the Sun.

“I was just so excited to have new data from Venus,” said astronomer Glyn Collinson of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

Venus is a fascinating world to us here on Earth. It’s so similar to our own planet in size and composition, but so crucially different: a toxic, scorching hot hell-world that is likely completely inhospitable to life as we know it.

How the two planets could have developed into such radically different beasts is of deep interest to planetary scientists and astrobiologists searching for other habitable worlds out there in the Milky Way.

Yet missions to explore Venus have been relatively few. There’s not much point sending landers; they can’t survive the planet’s 462 degree Celsius (864 degree Fahrenheit) surface.

Sending orbiting probes is also considered problematic, due to the incredibly thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid rain clouds that make it hard to tell what’s happening on the surface.

For these reasons, Venus hasn’t been a popular target for dedicated missions in some time (Japan’s Akatsuki orbiter being the recent exception), and a lot of our recent data has come piecemeal, from instruments with other primary objectives, like the Parker Solar Probe.

As Parker conducts its mission to study the Sun in close detail, it’s been using Venus for gravity assist maneuvers – slingshotting around the planet to alter velocity and trajectory. It was on one of these gravity assist flybys that the probe’s instruments recorded a radio signal.

Collinson, who has worked on other planetary missions, noted an odd familiarity that he couldn’t quite place in the shape of the signal.

“Then the next day, I woke up,” he said. “And I thought, ‘Oh my god, I know what this is!'”

It was the same kind of signal recorded by the Galileo probe when it skimmed through the ionospheres of Jupiter’s moons – a layer of atmosphere, also seen on Earth and Mars, where solar radiation ionizes the atoms, resulting in a charged plasma that produces low-frequency radio emission.

Once the researchers realized what the signal was, they were able to use it to calculate the density of the Venusian ionosphere, and compare it to the last direct measurements taken, all the way back in 1992. Fascinatingly, the ionosphere was an order of magnitude thinner in the new measurements than it was in 1992.

The team believes that this has something to do with solar cycles. Every 11 years, the Sun’s poles swap places; south becomes north and north becomes south. It’s not clear what drives these cycles, but we do know that the poles switch when the magnetic field is at its weakest.

Because the Sun’s magnetic field controls its activity – such as sunspots (temporary regions of strong magnetic fields), solar flares, and coronal mass ejections (produced by magnetic field lines snapping and reconnecting) – this stage of the cycle manifests as a period of very minimal activity. It’s called the solar minimum.

Once the poles have switched, the magnetic field strengthens, and solar activity rises to a solar maximum before subsiding again for the next polar switch.

Measurements of Venus from Earth suggested that Venus’ ionosphere was changing in sync with the solar cycles, growing thicker at solar maximum and thinner at solar minimum. But without direct measurements, it was difficult to confirm.

Well, guess what? The 1992 measurement was taken at a time close to solar maximum; the 2020 measurement close to solar minimum. They were both consistent with the Earth-based measurements.

“When multiple missions are confirming the same result, one after the other, that gives you a lot of confidence that the thinning is real,” said astronomer Robin Ramstad of the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Exactly why the solar cycle has this effect on Venus’ ionosphere is unclear, but there are two leading theories.

The first is that the upper boundary of the ionosphere could be compressed to a lower altitude during solar minimum, which prevents atoms ionized on the day side from flowing to the night side, resulting in a thinner night side ionosphere. The second is that the ionosphere leaks into space at a faster rate during solar minimum.

Neither of these mechanisms could be ruled out by the Parker data, but the team hopes that future missions and observations might be able to clarify what’s going on. In turn, that could help us gain a better understanding of why Venus is the way it is, compared to Earth.

Maybe it’s about time for another Venus mission, eh?

The research has been published in Geophysical Research Letters.

The stock market this morning: Sh*t! Normal working class people read the market and figured out the game! Time to change the rules again. Let’s write it in ancient Babylonian hieroglyphs this time. They’ll never figure that sh*t out.

A message crucial to promote the awareness of your personal role in the collective will become evident over the next three weeks. You will come to ask yourself, What am I doing with my life?

If you aren’t familiar or comfortable with seeking your inner journey, then the greatest clue I can offer you at the start is to become open to the invisible world within you. How you learn to relate to it is completely personal and uniquely your own

Speaking in more concrete terms the next few weeks may manifest a life event for you where you must apply both logic and feeling in order to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion concerning an interpersonal relationship or the question what am I doing with my life?

This Mercury retrograde should be a cinch, but during it don’t buy tech if you don’t have to. And remember to triple check communication before hitting send. If you arrive at conflict be quick to apologize and say no more until tomorrow

You Are Here- Part III

Kenneth ran down the hallway dodging out of the way of any Guardians trying to head toward the dormitory elevator and sprinted to a door. He stopped to catch his breath for a second and started knocking on the door. No answer, shit. He tried again, he could hear the shower running and loud opera music playing. She was definitely home, but there was no time for this. He took out his knife and picked the lock to the door, after a few quick tries it opened and he walked inside the two-guardian dorm closing the door behind him. Didn’t want anyone to hear this.

He heard the shower stop and the music get a bit quieter, he could then hear her humming along to it. He waited outside the door not wanting to intrude anymore than he already had until she came out in a lavender bathrobe and saw him.

“Hello... Ken? What are you doing in our dorm?” Ken took a breath.

“I need to talk to you about something and ask a few questions.” He answered.

“Couldn’t it have waited till I was dressed?” She pouted and Ken shook his head.

“Not this time. It’s about Drake.” Drake? The person she hadn’t seen for at least a week now? Now that she thought about it, missions lasted a while even Vanguard but a week was unusual.

“Let me just put something on, nothing fancy, just some clothes and we can talk okay?” Ken nodded and sat down at a two person table as she went to change. He looked around at the place, things had definitely changed. There were pictures of the two up now and a few books about music were in between research journals on the bookshelf. ...Oh and there was a Vex arm.

Torra sat down across from Ken while he was looking around.

“Okay so, whats going on?” She asked and Ken pulled out a small scrap of torn Warlock robe colored in yellow and brown.

“My house was broken into, whoever the thief was was very careful, they only took one thing but they were also a bit sloppy and the weapon must’ve ripped off a piece of their clothing.” Torra listened and nodded.

“Wh- What did they take?”

“My Thorn.”

Thorn. The weapon all Guardians feared, once wielded by the dreaded Dredgen Yor, Ken had made his own before with the help of Shin as an experiment. To see if he could hold both Light and Dark without it consuming him. He must’ve succeeded if it was in a place so simple as his own home. But now it was gone and that piece of cloth was looking awfully familiar as she stared down at it...

“I don’t know for sure. But... I think Drake has turned Dredgen.”

~

...Draaaake...

...Draaaaaake...

WAKE UP.

Drake awoke in a combat arena made entirely of jagged black edges, he could see engravings etched into the stone. He saw his opponent, a lowly Taken Vandal nothing he hadn’t seen already. He went to reach for his Corrupted Thorn but his arm was stopped.

“No Draeko. No weapon this time. You must become the weapon.” The voice spoke, Drake obeyed. He charged the Vandal as it took sniper shots at him, the rounds hit but they had seemingly no effect as he reached out with his hands, took the Vandal’s rifle and shot him with his own weapon. It all happened within seconds, then the voice came back for approval.

“Good. Now let’s try two stronger targets.”

And Drake blacked out again.

~

Ken flew the ship toward where they thought Drake would be, all they had was some journals and advice from Eris but they were sure it had to be the moon of Jupiter that a pyramid ship was parked over. Torra sat in the seat next to him shaking a bit and hiding in her robes. Ken could tell she was afraid, hell he was too. This was probably the craziest thing he had done since the Moon, but at least he wasn’t alone this time and he had no choice, they had taken Drake. And his stuff! He wasn’t gonna let that slide.

“Like the new ship? He asked trying to lighten the mood a bit. Torra gave a small shrug as she held the necklace Drake gave her close. They could see the ship now, it’s monstrous presence loomed over the place where humanity once was, where the Traveller once blessed above, now it’s enemy sat and withered away. Ken took another breath and sent the ship in toward the pyramid. For a split second a Hive portal opened swallowing the ship and moving them elsewhere, then just as quick they were back.

“What the hell just happened?” Ken asked stabilizing the craft.

“I... I don’t know, I think someone or some thing is trying to keep us from going any further.” Ken got the ship back on course, he saw a landing platform open up on the side of the pyramid. Whatever was in there, wanted them closer.

Ken set down the ship and loaded his Sacramento, he felt cold as he descended down to make contact with the pyramid. Not like the temperature dropped, no more like something was disrupting the heat from getting to him. His light felt weak, when he tried to light the dark hallway his fire were only sparks. The architecture of the pyramid was dark, sharp, edgy. He decided he shouldn’t take Chase out unless absolutely necessary and told Torra the same.

The hallway was lit by red lights that looked like eyes peering into his soul. It was the creepiest place Ken had ever saw, but they had to find Drake. Torra stayed close behind dancing small waves of Void light across her palm, it kept her feeling like she was in control of something. Some modicum of safety in this wrong place.

They must’ve been walking for hours, Ken had left a trail of knives to find their way back to the ship once they found him. Then they came across a large room with a figure sitting on his knees in the middle. The walls closed off. They were trapped in the room. The figure stood up and turned to them, they wore tattered and cracked Warlock gear in yellow and brown. At least that’s what it looked like, it was hard to tell in so little of light.

“Drake!”

“Wait Torra-“ Drake put out a palm and pushed her away unmoved. Torra flew backwards and hit the wall next to Kenneth. Whoever this was, it was clearly not Drake.

“Why... who what happened to him? Why would he do that to me...” Torra sobbed and Ken shook his head.

“Whatever happened on this ship, it turned him into something else. That may be Drake but it isn’t him...” He looked back at his former friend as he sat back down on his knees again. “Torra I’m sorry but we’re gonna have to fight him.”

“What?!”

“It’s the only way to get him to snap outta this. Or... only way I see it working at least.” Torra said nothing. “I’ll keep him busy while you try and knock him out.” Torra was unmoved, there had to be another way. Ken stood up and lit his Hunter knife with as much fire as he could gather and rushed him.

Drake stood up using his palm to force his attacker away but Ken dodged and was able to get a slash in. It didn’t seem to do much of anything and Drake kicked Kenneth in the side, as he fell to the floor he threw the knife and it landed a direct hit in his arm. Drake looked down at the knife and tried to pull it out as Ken struggled to get back up. His vision was clouded but he saw Torra tackle him to the ground and rip his hood off.

“DRAKE!” She yelled through tears. “Drake I know you’re still in there, you have to fight it!” Drake pushed her off of him and punched her in the jaw. She bled a bit from her nose and it disoriented her but she wasn’t giving up that easily. She Blinked in front of him and kicked him in the ribs, probably cracked a few but they would heal once she could get out of this horrible place with him.

As they fought Ken held his side and looked off into a corner of the room covered in shadow, another figure smiled creepily as he watched them fight. Ken looked a bit closer and the figure came into view, another Warlock.

“You...” He groaned trying to sit up. “You’re the reason he’s doing this, I dunno who the hell you think you are but I will kill you.” The former Warlock stepped out of the shadows with a sword that was lit ablaze. A Dawnblade.

“You are different. You aren’t like your comrade over there, no.... You are not afraid of the Dark.”

“If you’re referring to wheather I give a damn about Light and Dark and using their power I don’t. But I know that the Darkness can do horrible things to people. I’ve seen it.”

“You clearly misunderstand the balance then, so-called Symmetrist. For if you believe you cannot have Light without Dark, you would embrace it as you have the Gardener’s gift.”

“Having Light and Dark is fine but I’ll decide the balance. Now get lost and leave my friend alone you shadowed creep.” He spat.

“There are things your friend has not told you. You see, you may be his friend, but I am his creator. And now that he is here he will be reunited. His training has been a bit... shaky but he will improve.”

“I don’t care if you’re his third cousin’s aunt’s brother twice removed, you’re evil. And we will put an end to you once we save him.” The shadow chuckled dryly.

“And how do you plan to do that?”

“Like this. TORRA NOW!” Ken threw a Tripmine Grenade behind the Warlock and summoned his Goldengun, putting six rounds through him causing him to fall onto the grenade and disorient him for a bit. Drake’s corruption lifted slightly and Torra finished the job as tears streamed down her face. Drake blacked out as Kenneth stood above his father and twirled a knife around.

“You... you were-“

“Distracting you, biding my time, waiting for my Light to build. Any of those work. Once I saw that you actually bothered to show up and were tangible I just had to get back to full strength. It’s just now that you notice the red lights are a bit dimmer? Heh, for a former Warlock you aren’t a very good one.”

“Don’t you dare speak of that INFERNAL title again!” He shouted angrily. “The Light forced me into a role, now I have the power to play my own. The Dark offers freedom don’t you simpletons get i-“ Ken shot him in the head.

“You talk too much.”

Drake came to shortly after dazed and confused.

“Where... where am I? Torra? Ken-“ He stopped. “KEN GET AWAY FROM HIM!”

“Relax man, I just shot him. He’s dead in the dirt.” Drake shook his head.

“No, no it would never be that easy. You may have killed that form but he will continue to exist wherever there’s Darkness.”

“The boy is half right.” A whispered voice spoke to all three of them as the crumpled mess of Drake’s former father picked himself back up. “Did you really think I could be killed with simple weaponry like that? Ha! Not likely. Though that handcannon of yours did leave a mark, there must be something special about it. In any case, take my failure of a son, if he could not beat two Lightbearers then he is not worthy to continue. For now I take my leave, I will find another blade to sharpen...” He sneered holding Drake’s Dawnblade in his hands. Ken shot him with a rocket launcher but he shielded himself in a cloud of Darkness and disappeared.

Hensley & Char: Friends or Whatever || Part 3

@just-a-j-reallly @junknstu1f @henryharts I absolutely pushed this bad boy out in a couple of hours, since I’m trying to hold myself to a somewhat organized schedule, with going back to a second job on mornings that I don’t have to work nights. If there are typos and such, please just remember that this is free and that I am busy. Lol. I promise, whenever I’m not pressed for time and energy, I do everything to give y’all my best, but when I am those things, my best has to dwindle a little, in terms of editing, hopefully not content. I’ve been missing Chasper, so this chapter is kind of Chasper heavy, from Hensley’s view of them, and also I wanted to get into the universe that we’re more familiar with, so while I didn’t feel like certain things needed to change - like meeting Ray and getting the job, I wanted to just sort of do the ff thing we do and look at other areas of the world while all of that was happening.

The Danger Befriends

“We’re almost 12. Her issues might strictly be hormones, and maybe that means that she’ll be less mean soon,” Jasper said.

“Shut up about hormones!” Charlotte snapped at him. “You ALWAYS blame women being rightfully angry with you on hormones! It’s NOT hormones, Jasper. It’s YOU. YOU are the reason we’re mad!”

Hensley didn’t want to get in the middle, but these were both her beast friends and she knew that this was all just a misunderstanding. Jasper wasn’t inconsiderate or stupid… Just very, very gullible. This was dirt from Jupiter all over again. “Jasper,” Hensley said, as gently as she could, “I think what Charlotte means is that instead of telling us the reason why you’re holding a filthy cat instead of our carnival tickets, you’re focused on her reaction to the fact that you handed a stranger the money for the tickets and they gave you a disgusting animal.”

“She’s not disgusting. She just needs a bath…” Jasper said, but before he could complete the thought Charlotte lunged towards him and Hensley had to collect her in a restraining hold to keep her from getting her hands on Jasper. Jasper’s eyes widened and Hensley cooed in Charlotte’s ear to try to calm her. 

“It’s okay, Char. It’s Okay. I carried a little extra money and I’LL get your ticket. Okay?It’s all good. It’s ALL good.” Charlotte struggled Hensley’s hold off of her and glared at Jasper, shaking her head, before she marched off and went to stand in line, herself. 

Jasper shook his head, “I think that a good counselor and perhaps even medication will help her with that.” Hensley just sighed. He had a point,  but he also missed the point. But, moments later, a guy in a trench coat really did come back with their tickets and three drinks, because they were waiting out in the sun with his cat. 

Hensley pulled Charlotte from the line, explained that this time, Jasper hadn’t screwed up and Charlotte said, “Well, it still was careless and under normal circumstances would have been a scheme.” Then, they got on rides and all was forgotten for a while. 

The moments where the three of them had fun and enjoyed each other’s company were Hensley’s favorite. She frequently felt like she had to pick sides because they argued so much. Jasper loved Charlotte. He had always liked her as a person and spending the past couple of years around her only accelerated that for him. The three were together everyday and always made plans as a team. No one would be left behind, because to Hensley, that would feel like choosing between them. And she really couldn’t.

Jasper was her yes man. Charlotte was her voice of reason. Those were things that she needed to always receive both of in order to make good decisions. She did not always make them, but she couldn’t comprehend what life would be without the two varying options. They were like the little angel and devil on her shoulders, except Jasper was the clueless angel and Charlotte the all knowing devil. You’re SUPPOSED to listen to the angel, but this particular angel was only right every now and then. The devil was always right, but she was an angry little person and threatening… That made her truth seem like it wasn’t so. Yet, she was usually right, and Hensley only SOMETIMES listened to her.

But, in those moments whenever Jasper couldn’t be around - they flowed better. And in the moments that Charlotte didn’t show her face, Hensley and Jasper made more sense. It was… confounding to Hensley. She NEEDED both of them, but it was so much easier to deal with them separately, usually. She wondered if they were like that too. Did Jasper and Charlotte have a harmonious dynamic whenever Hensley wasn’t there to demand both of their attention? She wondered what that was like. 

She imagined that Jasper was sweet and that in spite of herself, she would soften for him and smile a lot, maybe even giggle… She… kinda felt a little bit jealous about it. WHAT did Charlotte and Jasper do whenever SHE wasn’t there? Sometimes, if they studied together, or Charlotte’s mom gave him a ride home or something, even at times, he stayed the night over there??? WHAT? They could barely get along, WHY would he be able to sleep in the same room as her? AND… He was a boy!

Hensley watched Charlotte reading and Jasper leaning up against her, getting ready to fall to sleep. She made a frowning face at him and he quickly shuffled away and made a makeshift, non-Charlotte pillow of his over shirt and backpack. But, when he drifted off, Hensley noted that Charlotte sighed, grabbed a bandanna out of her bag, wiped his sweat off and tucked the bandanna in his pocket. Why had she done that? Did she LIKE him? Why was Hensley so preoccupied with these details?

Charlotte stared at her and looked confused for a moment, then figured it was because of what just happened. She explained, “Jasper’s medication for his sweating problem has changed. The new one makes him a little more tired. I don’t want him sweating all over me or my carpet.” Rational. Reasonable. Nothing to be concerned about, and even if it WAS… She wouldn’t be concerned, because she and Charlotte were just friends anyway. Just like Charlotte and Jasper were. But then, “He looks different when he sleeps. When he’s shut down and silent - he’s actually cute, right?” Charlotte asked. 

Of course, she meant like a roly poly rodent, but Hensley just heard cute and while she agreed, denied it. “Jasper? Cute?” She laughed. “Why don’t you just kiss him?” 

“I would get sweat on my lips,” she said, cringing, “Jasper sweat. I don’t even want my own sweat on my lips…” She looked at Hensley like she was extremely gross for even attempting such a joke, and Hensley relaxed and didn’t think about it again. 

There was no way that Charlotte liked Jasper. He wasn’t gross, but Charlotte found a lot of his habits to be. Plus, he irritated her very easily and even though she was nice to him sometimes, there was just this… Hensley couldn’t find the right word to describe a disconnect, so she thought of it as a no-no region… Though that sounded like their private parts, so she just simply stopped trying to find words and counted it as “would never happen.” Yet, she spent about a year convincing herself that Jasper and Charlotte were just friends and woul;d always just be friends. 

It was hard though. That Charlotte had two best friends of different genders who both liked girls and she seemed to like both of them sometimes and like neither of them sometimes. All of Hensley’s life, there were people who would say things like she and Jasper would wind up dating someday or that they were probably soul mates/would get married, etc. They made it out to be like boys and girls couldn’t have friendships that were just that and it never moved her before because she knew that Jasper was not her type. She and Jasper had the SAME type, for as long as she could remember thinking about it. But, now… That could/might include Charlotte. 

Charlotte wasn’t really the kind of girl that Hensley tended to be attracted to, but by 13, she definitely had become aware that it was probably because she didn’t see other girls that were like Charlotte, and that she hadn’t for as long as she had been in school, and not because Charlotte wasn’t totally pretty. She absolutely was. But, the more time went by, the more she realized that despite that Jasper had always noticed Charlotte. He knew her name. He knew about her plans and her life. He treated her like  a person who he cared about… and he did this before she became Hensley’s best friend. It wasn’t a competition, but Hensley had a problem not competing. 

.

The feelings were exacerbated whenever Hensley happened upon a part time job… No, Charlotte found her a part time job. Hensley was now, not only a productive member of society, but the actual sidekick to Swellview’s superhero, Captain Man, and that required secrecy and discretion. That required leaving Jasper and Charlotte alone and going to work to keep the city safe, to keep them safe… and she made an oath never to tell them.

“Why aren’t we allowed to stop by your job?” Charlotte asked, while Jasper drank from his bucket thermos as they walked from school. “We aren’t going to ruin anything, and we just wanted to be able to look around and possibly even make a purchase and contribute to your paycheck. You barely let us in the door…” 

Hensley nervously laughed and shook her head, “I… don’t need your money for my paycheck. You two don’t even have jobs..”

“Yeah, upon further research, I found out nobody really hires 13 year olds for anything…” Charlotte started.

Jasper quickly spouted out, “Oh, it’s illegal. It’s one of Swellview’s many stupid laws.”

“It’s not just a Swellview law, though. It’s most places. My research concluded that the jobs available for kids under 16 are generally permissions for entrepreneurial ventures, Internet personalities, highly regulated child celebrity gigs, and family businesses where they aren’t actually on payroll. I wonder why the junk store doesn’t have to follow those regulations…” Charlotte said, suspiciously. The last thing that Hensley needed was Charlotte being suspicious.

Jasper offered, “It may be a historic building, in which case, in Swellview, they are allowed to hire as early as 13, but only in a part time capacity, and if the training for said job is at least one year.”

“That’s gotta be it! Ray’s father bought the place when he was a kid,” Hensley said, unsure of what even constitutes as a historical building, but hoping that Charlotte wouldn’t investigate it. She wasn’t even paying attention to her, though.

Charlotte smiled at Jasper, “You really know Swellview laws.”

“One of Dad’s main rules is if he ever has to get a call that I’ve been arrested, it better be a misunderstanding,” Jasper said with a shrug.

“You almost always get in trouble at every bit of fault of your own,” Charlotte told him.

“Yes, but not illegally.” 

Hensley was happy to have the conversation off of her work. 

Jasper’s dad was a defense attorney, so Jasper knew a lot about laws and ordinances and stuff. Maybe that was why he was so good in social studies and language arts. He knew laws, history, and wordplay. Charlotte was good with sciences and math. Between the both of them, Hensley was able to keep her head above water in school. She would need them now more than ever, because her job as Kid Danger was taking everything out of her and she hadn’t even been doing it for very long. But, whenever she looked at her two friends, who bickered like an old married couple, but also loved on each other, she knew that this job wasn’t just about the money or even the newfound high of fame. It was about what was best for Swellview. For Hensley Hart, Swellview was her two best friends…

“So… Can we stop in sometime, though?” Charlotte asked, not being deterred.

“Oh, my boss Ray is kind of a stickler about it…” Hensley said.

“Probably doesn’t want something to happen where he has a liability,” Jasper said. 

Charlotte looked disappointed as she shrugged her shoulders and tugged Jasper’s sleeve, “Well, I guess that means we’ll see you tomorrow. Jasper gave Hensley a hug and the two walked beyond the store, debating whether they were going to get snacks before heading to Charlotte’s, or trust that her mom had something other than organic/vegan/no added sugars or flavors stuff that Jasper always felt like was a crime against taste buds…

Hensley went into the store. Just another day of Danger, for her. And her friends would be alright.

~~~~~~~~

4:15 am...day two of being up for more than twenty four hours! Because if it’s the one thing I love to do is to put myself through hell for work! My body felt like putty at the moment and my eyes felt more dry than the stupid desert! God why do I do this to myself? Why? Because when you volunteer to pitch the entire project to all the head honchos of NASA you’ve gotta suffer a little bit. 

The new project is that one of the moons of Saturn actually turns out to be another Mars if the readings are correct. We all know that Mars was once a vast home billions of years ago. And it looks like one of the moons is either going through that same progress or is almost done. We call this moon S/2004 S 13...or Gaelhar is what I like to call it.  

My station of four computers were the only sort of light from the room since having these on and the regular lights were just to blinding for me. One was the entire moons structure, the second one had all the engineers layout of Rovers mechanics, the third being the layout of the ship that’s going to be delivering the rover, and the last one for music. Never thought all of Puccini’s opera would be so damn entertaining! 

“Sybil! What are you still doing here?” Ray asked as I looked up from the computer to see him and some other man in the doorway. Taking off my glasses to rub my eyes a little bit to give them a brief moment of rest. 

“Rewriting Brahes book on the galaxy because I have absolutely nothing else better to do with my life!” Realizing that my coffee cup was dry as a bone and finally got up from my office chair. Luckily my smart ass thought it would be a good idea to have a coffee machine right behind me. Coffee cup number 8..and should probably order some sort of food. 

“Dr. Bruch. This is Dr. Brian May from England. And this lovely ray of sunshine is Dr. Sybil Bruch. Basically what keeps NASA up on their toes most of the time.” I looked like a demon in front of this random scientist...but who looked extremely handsome and a comfort from staring at a screen for hours upon end. Adding a shit ton of French vanilla cream to the coffee as Ray kept buzzing around this Doctor. 

“She is working on the pitch for the new rover to land on one of the moons of Saturn.” Drinking a gulp of the coffee as Brian’s eyes widened with curiosity. 

“So we’re just skipping over Jupiter then?” He asked as I sat back down at my desk to put my glasses back on. 

“Not exactly.” Moving around in your chair to the first computer so he could start reading about Gaelhar. He was in complete focus and something about him reading this was comforting. Wait why is he even here in the first place? 

“May I ask why you’re here?” Asking him as he looked over to me with a soft genuine smile. 

“Heard about your little project from a fellow colleague of mine and..well..” Did he come to take over? Did this fucking colleague think I couldn’t handle all of this!? I don’t need some random doctor coming into my workspace to take over! WHo the bloody hell does this bimbo think he is!?

“Well I thought I’d come and take a look...not trying to take over your project or even step in. He just kept telling me how it was going..I’m sorry if I’m intruding on your..

“NO no you’re fine. Just you came out of the blue and wasn’t ready for someone else to take a look yet..” The awkwardly laughing at each other as I put my mug down then grabbing my stylist so I could show him the rover. 

“Haven’t gotten a name yet for the rover but here it is.” The 3D image of the rover appeared on the screen. He nodded as he looked closer at the Rover and smiled at it. 

“Ethos.” 

“What?” 

“Name him Ethos. I’ve always liked the name Ethos and its very unique for this little bugger to be going off to Saturn.” Ethos..definelty has a ring to it. Well if it doesn’t officially get called Ethos. I will call it Ethos, just like how I call it Gaelhar. 

“Ethos it is.” Nodding as I typed the name onto the top of the file. Ethos the Rover. 

“What’s going to power Ethos? Solar or wind?” Enlarging the picture of the wind turbine that was attached to the back of Ethos. It was a little smaller than him but would be able to power him for a few years. 

“The weird thing about Gaelhar is that it’s more windy than you’d imagine. Past satellite readings say it’s about 332 mph on average. And with that amount of power it can produce for Ethos...he could go on for a decade possibly.” He smiled at me as I looked into one of my filing cabinets for the file on Gaelhar. 

Would..would he want to read about Gaelhar? He seems genuinely interested in the whole project itself. Or it could be just the lack of sleep would be doing it. Both. Let’s go with both! 

“Were you wanting to read more on Gaelhar? On what we know at least?” Handing him the file on Gaelhar then setting up the rough draft of the powerpoint presentation of what I got so far. 

“So you say it was once like Earth?” He began the PowerPoint as I rested my hand on the desk then putting my cheek against it. Giving him a nod to his question as I slowly began closing my eyes. Maybe just five minutes of sleep and I would feel one million times better. 

*Brians May P.O.V.*

She was out like a light when I got done reading the rough draft of her presentation. With goosebumps running up and down her arms when I realized it was almost 5 am. For me I would be up and ready to go for the day. Taking off the coat I still had on then placing it on top of her shoulders so she could stay warm. Should I take off her glasses? My hands reaching slowly for her glasses to gradually take them off her face then laid them down next to her. 

It feels strange to be sitting next to someone whose work has done so much for the space community in the past few years. Reading her research papers, some of her books, and even online lectures when she would teach. Not to mention it’s shocking that she’s not going absolutely berserk since I’m.. well ya know. 

Going into the powerpoint to start editing her first slide to make sure the introduction would be very gripping. Not the first time I’ve had to stand in front of a crowd to do a presentation. Is it weird to admire someone and their work even though you’ve never gotten the chance to meet them. Till now. 

She blinked a few times as she was looking around to still see me working on her PowerPoint. Rubbing her tired eyes then reaching for her cup of coffee that was still a little hot. 

“I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to..” Trailing off as she noticed my coat was on her shoulders and formed a little smile in the corner of her lips. Going back to typing as she leaned over to see what I was working on. 

“They’re gonna ask you why they should invest in this instead of Mars.” She sighed as she got up from the chair to her phone. 

“Might as well pack it up because this won’t get any sort of funding.” She told me as I spun around in the chair with my arms crossed. Goodness! What kind of confidence is that!?

“Sybil! What sort of attitude is that to have for this project?” Her eyes widened a little as she took a sip of her coffee. 

“Well everything is about Mars now. Gaelhar would be more suitable for humans to go there than Mars and you have the evidence right here.” If it’s one thing I can’t stand in this world is when a bunch of power hungry councils decide to make stupid decisions. Like the damn council who decided Pluto not being a planet anymore was absolutely ridiculous! 

“Thank you for the confidence boost..just going up in front of them to pitch this idea is a lot harder than it sounds. Yes I did presentations in school all the time..but never had to basically tell them they need to fund this because this could be habitable for humans since we’re screwing up this world so badly..I’m sorry I don’t mean to vent..I think I if I just get back to work then I’ll feel a little better.” One last sip of coffee she took as she put her glasses back on to start reading through her notebooks. 

“Would you like some breakfast or something? I can make ray get you some delicious sort of fish breakfast or anything.” She looked up from her notebook to start flipping through her phone to find a breakfast place to deliver. 

“Anything really. Is the tires on Ethos going to last a few years on Gaelhar?” Asking her as she pulled up the material for Ethos. 

“It’s got natural rubber with steel chords wrapped around it. Not to mention we’re going to equip the little guy with spikes so if he needs to stop to collect data, the wind won’t move him away.” The image enlarged on the screen as she was pointing at its tires. 

She’s a beautiful..gorgeous genius! 

“Would..would you be willing to stay for a few days to give me a hand or so?” Asking me as I quickly nodded in agreement. 

*One Week Later. Sybil’s P.O.V.*

Okay. Okay. I can’t tell if I look okay! Checking myself out in the mirror for the hundredth time. It was a bright yellow dress that was flowing all around me till it reached the upper half of my body to fit like a glove. The neckline was tight and it allowed to show more of my back. What’s going to sell Ethos and Gaelhar? Sex. 

Slipping on my white heels as I heard the front doorbell ringing. Guess that’s Brian. He has been such an absolute doll and gentlemen with this project these last few days. Constantly staying beside me and helping to make sure this project is sellable to the board. Not to mention we spent last night going over the details and basically running through the presentation as many times as I could. 

Grabbing my clutch as I walked down the stairs of my house then fixing any last details before I expose my tired ugly self to him. Opening the door to him to see him in a dark purple and black velvet suit with a very exotic galaxy tie on. He looked..absolutely smashing! 

“Well Brian. I must say you clean up very well.” Smiling as his eyes widened at the brightness of my dress. 

“Probably should’ve worn something space related. C’mon in.” Moving out of the way for him to walk in and have a long look around my apartment. 

“I actually got you something if you don’t mind.” Closing the door behind him as he reached into his suit pocket to pull out a box. Opening it to reveal some sort of pendant. Holy shit is that real gold? 

“Brian please tell me you didn’t spend that much money on me?” It was a large circle gold pendant that had nine holes drilled out of them. He got the whole damn solar system including Pluto. (It’s a planet. Deal with it.)

“Think of it as a momento for this hectic week of constant working. Not that it hasn’t been absolutely fun because it’s been a while since I’ve worked hard like this.” It kept staring at me like some sort of apple. Do I take it? It’s gorgeous and I don’t want to seem like an absolute bitch for just taking it. But why did he spend that much money on me, and not to mention that how on earth did he get that much money!?

“Bri I..I can’t..” He was already taking it out of the box and motioned me to turn around so he could clip it on. When he clipped it together, turning back towards him as we were standing close to each other. Is it weird to be attracted to someone who you've only known for a week? I thought attraction moved slower than that..It felt so..so wonderful. My heart was bursting out of my chest, goosebumps traveling up and down my back, to finally the tip of my toes curling in my heels. 

“Thank you Brian. I really..I have no words.” My blushing face was an absolute mess as we didn’t move from our spot. Knowing that we had to go so we wouldn’t be late. 

But his kindness..his confidence..it’s so wonderfully refreshing. His lips were so lush with life..even his eyes were glowing with life. Is it bad that I want to kiss him? 

He must’ve felt the same as he reached his hands up to my cheeks to cup my face. His temple resting against mine as my hands wrapped around his wrist to feel the spark light. Till I felt something cold against my cheek to see a gold band around his left hand. Oh my god he’s married! He’s married and he’s holding my face like this!

“Oh my god I’m sorry.. I.. I had no idea you were even married. God I must look like some kind of whore to you.” Taking a step back as he turned his hand into his direction. I don’t cheat with married men.. well I don’t cheat in general mostly because I don’t have the time for it. 

“Yes we have to go.” Taking a step away from him to grab my clutch and house keys. We were carpooling but now that he’s married..I’d rather drive myself at this point. Locking the door behind us as the SUV was sitting on the curb, with the driver smoking a cigar. Might as well just get this over with...

The car ride was absolutely silent with the only radio playing to cover up the awkward silence. Glad to know I was about to kiss a married man..and that he gave me a massive galaxy pendent that’s weighing me down like a rock around my necklace! Please let us just get there faster so I can just go home and eat ice cream. My stupid ass thought he and I were about to hit off together..he’s older than me so why would I even think I would have a chance. 

We pulled up to the curb as I opened the door of my side to see Ray running up to me with his tablet. All excited and wearing his lucky peacock bow tie wrapped around his neck. 

“Sybil! Sybil! Thank every thing on the planet that you arrived. The board wanted to hear your presentation right now. Get your butt out of the car so we can start this and eat those delicious tiramisu they made!” Practically dragging me out of the car as Brian was already left behind. 

Standing on the side of the stage as I was preparing myself mentally for this presentation. Brian appeared behind me but I wasn’t turning around since the man is married! How could I even..my eyes peeked from the corner of my eye to see that..gorgeous man smiling right behind me. My fingers grabbing the pendent to turn around and give him a smile. 

“Thank you Brian. Wish me luck!” Just try to get rid of the sexual tension with just being absolutely nice. Should just go away within the speech. 

“Ladies and gentlemen! I present to you Dr. Sybil Bruch.” Oh my god everything is happening so damn fast! The heart is racing again and I think my eyes are going to roll in the back of skull! Brian put his hands on my shoulders then placed a soft kiss on the back of my head. 

“You can do this. You can be anything you want to be, just turn yourself into anything you think you could ever be.” Why the hell did that sound so damn familiar? Whatever it’s from it somehow helped. Walking out to the podium as I was giving the board a few soft smiles. Moving the mic a little as I looked upon the crowd. 

“Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m so excited that you’re here this evening to hear about this brand new project our department has been working on for many months now. Today I will be discussing one of the moons of Jupiter known as S/2004 S 13. What we call it now known as Gaelhar.” Stopping for a second as Ray pulled up the PowerPoint. My eyes drifted over to Brian as I gave him a warm smile with him sticking up his thumb. 

“Thanks to the glorious efforts of engineers, fellow astrophysicists, and even a very well known scientist by the name of Dr. Brian May. We have discovered that one of the moons of Jupiter was once just like Earth before us.” Stopping again to see Brian in complete awe to the side of the stage. My hand reaching up to the pendant to hold it for a second. 

The presentation went fantastically to the point I even got the board to clap even more than usual. Brian, Ray, and I were in a small circle talking amongst each other trying to keep myself from going in some sort in an anatomical state. Is that even the right word at this point? For once..I could give two shits if Brian were to kiss me now. He’s the only one who has been there for me during this past week and if it were to happen I wouldn’t fight it anymore. 

Ray noticed one of his friends for it to be just Brian and I downing on tiramisu which was provided for free by the board. We kept glancing back and forth..waiting for one of us to say at least something to each other. 

“I wanna apologize to you Sybil. It wasn’t right to me to try to make a move on you and being married. Wasn’t the right thing to do and..” My fingers moving up to his lips to stop him from speaking. Giving him a smile of approval as my fingers glided over to his cheek. 

“Thank you for everything you’ve done for this project this past week..I..I.

“Dr. Bruch. Have you got a moment?” Dr. Alexis Faulk came up to us as I slipped my hand down then handing him my plate of tiramisu. He’s the head of the board and if he’s coming to me this early we should be able to finally start! 

“Dr. Bruch. As much as we love this project you and your department has worked very hard. It’s just not something that’s worth our time or interest. We’ll definitely keep this on record so when the time does come for us to head out to Jupiter we now have a plan. Thank you for the lovely presentation and now you don’t have to worry about that. See ya at the office Monday morning.” He nodded to go back to the fellow board members. 

His words stung all over my body as if wasp were all stinging me at once just for the pleasure of it. My throat tightened to the point I couldn’t even breath. I refuse to cry because he’s kind of right in sense..why go out to Jupiter when Mars is right around the corner! Exactly! Now I want wine...and ice cream. God I sound so damn depressing. 

Brian placed the plates down as he came over to me. But I didn’t want to be coddled at the moment or even touched..just..I just wasted months of my life on this big project that won’t even be used in my life time! And not even in my child’s lifetime! Moving past him as I was leaving the gala to go home and get absolutely drunk! Walking out to the parking lot where the vast amount of SUVs were all over the place as I tried to find ours. 

“You okay Sybil?” Brian caught up as I found our car with the driver in smoking a cigar. 

“To my home please.” Ignoring his question to have the driver climbed into the car. Before I could even climb in Brian stood in front of the door. 

“They said no didn’t they..” Nodding to him as my eyes began to water as my throat was beginning to swell again. He reached out to me as he engulfed me in his warm embrace. It felt so damn comforting to feel his warmth but the tears were continuing to roll down my stained cheek. 

“Sybil..Sybil look at me.” Looking up as he held himself up in such confidence. 

“What you’ve done is remarkable. It is something no one else could’ve ever done in their life. Not even I could do such a thing and you’ve done the impossible. Yes it’s horrible that they said no. But you went up there against the world and you did it! Be..be..” Our lips crashing against each other as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Pulling me in closer to him for his hands to squeeze my waist. Stopping to catch my breath as I was shaking a little bit. 

“Let’s get you home.” 

Arriving back to the house as we climbed out of the car then giving the driver a great tip. Unlocking the door to the house as we walked in to throw my clutch on the ground in anger. 

“I’m sorry Brian..I shouldn’t be acting like such a child in front of you but I’m..” He was taking off his jacket as I leaned against the couch. The tension was basically to thick you couldn’t even cut it with a knife. 

“Brian..make me feel something..Please just make me yours for a night...make me feel like I’m so much better than what that ass hole board.” Attacking me like a lion. His lips were warm, soft, and tasted like beautiful rose wine. Our tongues entering each other’s mouth to swirl around each other. Moans coming from both of our mouths and our hands tracing up and down our bodies. 

My hands ripping the front of his shirt opened for my nails to dig into his chest. His beautiful lips moved from mine then onto the bottom of my ear. Nails digging into his chest as ecstasy poured over my vision. 

“You’re so damn beautiful..” I could feel his hands moving up to the back off my dress to the back of my neck, ripping the neck strap so my dress would basically pop down. 

“Mhmm...God..” His hands beginning to squeeze my breast as my legs began to wrap around him. My body was absolutely melting in his touch as his long fingers squeezing my breast, pinching my nipples. 

“I wanna..” Couldn’t even finish what I wanted to say. He was already on his knees pulling down the rest of my dress so I would be standing there in only my underwear. 

“You want me to taste you?” Asking with his eyes widened before me. Nodding as he moved my panties to the side, then lifting my leg over his shoulder. 

One little lick already made me gasp. How can such a man have that much power over me. Another little lick over my clit till he wrapped his mouth over my entrance. At first his tongue was flicking my clit with no means of stopping. Faster..faster..my hips began moving slowly as his grip around my thigh tightened. His eyes were primal as his tongue moved down to my entrance. Not entering but was acting like some damn lizard. In..out….waiting for a second. In...out.. 

“Brian..please don’t tease me..” I was begging as if my life was depending on It. His eyes glued shut as he was absolutely devouring me like a man thirsting after water in a desert. My moans were filling the house so loudly that my neighbors might be wondering what’s going on. 

“So delectable..” Whispering as I could feel it building up so quickly. 

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck..Brian..Brian so close..” The first time Ive came..fuck fuck fuck. He removed his mouth to slowly insert his middle finger inside of me to pump as fast as he could. He put his tongue back onto my clit so I would be sent over the edge as quickly as I could. 

“Just let go..let go..” He said between flicks as I inhaled a large breath. Yanking his hair by accident as it released as over his fingers and the tip of his tongue. My body shaking to the point I almost fell onto the couch itself. He popped up to keep me a little steady as I stood back up from the couch. 

“We’re going upstairs.” Dragging him by his ripped shirt up the stairs but stopping every few steps to keep kissing each other and for me to grab his humongous bulge on his pants. He kept moaning till we reached the top of the stairs..but I couldn’t even wait anymore for him. 

Kneeling down as I unbuckled his pants to yank them down and take him straight into my mouth. I’ve never craved anyone like this in my life. His cock was glorious to have and was something I’ve enjoyed in my mouth. My tongue swirling around his tip as I sunk the rest into my mouth as fast as I could. 

“God..take it easy..” He chuckled as he had to lean against the wall. His right hand grabbing a handful of hair to start giving it a gentle pull. Nothing like how I yanked his for when I came to quickly. I want to please him...God pleasing him would give me even more pleasure in my life. Gripping his balls with my free hand which caused him to let a moan out and chuckle. 

Taking his entire length in my mouth for him to gasp as I moved my hands from his balls to the top of his chest so my nails could scratch down his chest. But stopping me to hold my hand as I continued to deep throat him. 

“Fuck fuck fuck..stop.. you..have to..stop..” My head moving as deep as it could each time so he would cause his eyes to roll in the back of his skull. His precum was beginning to pour as I stopped sucking for my tongue trail from the base to the tip, licking up his precum. Hoisting me up onto my feet as our lips began dancing around with each other again. 

Walking backwards into the bedroom as I fell back onto the bed as he stood at the edge of the bed. My hands reaching out for him as he climbed back on top of me then aimed his member towards the entrance. Waiting no time as he slowly inserted himself inside of me. 

“FUCK!” Squealing as he was stretching my walls. My legs wrapping around him to push him in further. God it hurts but it feels so fucking good my god. He placed his head on my shoulder as he began thrusting himself at a slow pace so he could stretch every inch of me. 

“God yes..Brian..” Laughing for a second as his lips began kissing my neck again with his cock beginning to pick up the pace. He’s moving to slow! I wanna ride him! My hands grabbing his shoulder to push him over onto his back. 

“Let me ride you..I wanna ride you till you fill me..” Pointing his member up as I slid down onto him. His eyes rolling into the back of his head as I began bouncing hard on his cock. Not fast. But slamming myself onto his cock for him to get completely lost. 

“Does it feel good?” Smiling as he smacked my ass hard to make me laugh. Smacking again to treat him a little as I tightened myself somehow. His eyes rolling into the back of his head as I began bouncing faster. I want him inside of me..

“C’mon Brian..Take me..” He grabbed my arms to pull me down to him so he could kiss me. Desperate kisses as he began thrusting hard into me. It felt so damn good to be penetrated so damn hard and so damn fast. 

“Yeah you slut you like that?” Nodding as I wrapped my arms around his neck as I felt myself boiling up again. He was getting so close to I could feel it! Yes yes yes. 

“Yes I love it..yes Brian please!” Our lips against each other once again as I tried to taste every inch of his lips. So soft..so damn beautiful! 

“Go go go go go..oh my god Brian yes!” He was smiling as he was smacking my ass and digging his nails into it with his final amount of thrust.

“Yes Sybil! Cum with me...cum with me please..take me as I take you!” He shoved himself as far as he could inside of me as I felt his cum pouring inside of me! HOLY FUCK!

“Brian!” I screamed as he held me close to him as he emptied himself inside. It felt so damn glorious to be filled with such a mans cum! A genius to take me to bed...to fill me..thank god. 

Climbing off him as we laid next to each other, my head resting on his bicep as we tried to catch our breaths. My body is still adjusting to the feeling of cum inside of me..the orgasm still riding my body. Looking up to him as he looked down upon me. Looking at his left hand to slip the ring off he wore to place it on the nightstand. Moving myself back up to him to place my hand on his cheek.

“You sure..?” My thumb rubbing a small circle as he grabbed it then kissed my palm. 

“Yes.” Attacking his lips with mine again as he hoisted me back on top of him. A night of ecstasy is all I need..and with him..I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Edelweiss - Chapter 4

Twins

Chapter 4 - Twins

The old man waved at the family of six as they exited the store. The door closed itself after the marked one. When the door closed itself behind you he picked up the telephone horn while selecting a telephone number. 

The phone rang for just a view second before the woman on the other side picked it up.

¨What!¨ she hissed into the phone

The older men sighed at her tone, afraid to tell her the news he had for her.

¨I told you to only call me when it is done¨ The woman continued.

¨It is, It is done, miss. But there is more¨ The old men told her while opening a drawer. 

¨Well then, tell me¨ The woman asked curiously

The men looked on the picture he held in his hand and then over at you. While you took one look at the small town before entering the car.

The men swallowed and placed the picture back into the drawer. While closing the drawer he spoke.

¨Its her¨

————

¨FUCKING HELL¨ John cursed as the cold water hit his body. While cursing at the cold shower he rid himself of his clothes, not noticing that his tie was missing. Every piece of his bloody clothing he removes and then he tossed it into a corner on the ground.  

When the water turned warmer he started replaying what happened on site. A metal flower exploding and leaving everything covered in blood. 

‘Sara was bloody right this is freaky. But how is this connected to the missing families, nothing makes sense.’ John taught.

When he removed the final sock, he started scrubbing his body clean of the blood. ¨Missing families, no records, no body’s, metal edelweiss flower, blood, a lot of blood, pure, latin¨ John mumbled. He continued to mumble these words while cleaning the blood of his body. 

When most of the blood was of his body, he decided to write the words onto the glass wall of the shower, ¨Missing families, no records, no body’s, metal edelweiss flower, blood, lots of blood, pure, Latin.¨ he wrote on the wall with his fingers.

While washing his hair he looked at the words he just wrote on the wall. While staring at the words and thinking about them he saw something interesting. Some moisture formed a water droplet and it slowly slid over the glass. 

The drop traced itself over the words missing families, then the words no record it skipped the words no body’s to lots of blood and it connected itself with the word pure and at last the word Latin.

¨Bloody h… ¨ John wanted to say before another drop formed itself, connecting the words metal edelweiss flower, blood and Latin together. This must be someone trying to trick him or hint him.

He quickly removed the shampoo and the blood out of his hair and the rest of his body. he turned the shower off before picking his clothes up and tossing them into the sink.

He dries himself off before walking out of the bathroom only wearing a towel. 

He walked over to the desk and on the back of the now bloody folder, he penned down the two-word connections.

                   Missing families                       

                   No records                     Metal edelweiss flower

                            Pure                              Blood

                                             LATIN

John started circling words out, but before he could think about the connections he just made he was interrupted by a warm voice.

¨I think this is yours¨

——————————

After listening in the car to do a deer from the time of music for a way to many times. You ran out of the car as soon as it stopped. ¨FINALLY¨ You said while stretching your body. The (TERROR) Twins have been singing it ever since we left.

You didn’t hate those two they are like family to you. But in a moment like this, you wish you had duck tape to shut them up.

¨DO, A DEER¨ Tim began ¨ A FEMALE DEER¨ Tara finished. 

‘Here we go again’

¨RAY!¨ Alex joined.

¨A DROP OF GOLDEN SUN¨ Their parents joined. 

¨You are all plotting against me!!¨ you laugh out while picking up your backpack and walking towards the hotel. 

¨Aila join us, I know you know the lyrics¨ Alex yelled at you while you turned around to face them.

¨ME¨ the twins said while running at you. You tried to run away but it was too late. “Sing with us” Tara begged. “Then we will let go of your legs” Tim added.

¨A name I call myself.” you started singing and then the twins and Alex joined.

 “Far, a long, long way to run.

Sew, a needle pulling thread.

La, a note to follow sew. 

Tea, I drink with jam and bread. 

That will bring us back to Do do do do¨ you sang while the twins clung onto your legs.

¨KARMA¨ Alex laughed at you while you slowly entered the Hotel.

“Please, Alex remind me, Why did I agree to support you during this vacation” you laugh out while you leaned against a wall.

¨Guys lets leave Aila her legs alone¨ Carlos laughed out loud.

The twins let go of your legs and ran up the stairs towards their room. While walking upstairs we decided to meet at 19:00 for dinner, so everyone had two hours for themself.

When arriving at the third floor your eyes fell on a red bloody tie. ¨What the…?¨ you mumbled while picking the tie up with one finger. 

You studied the tie and the trail of blood drops which made a path past your door towards room 312. 

You followed the blood towards 312 while Alex opened your door. A smile appeared on your face when you realised that the tie in your hand, was John’s. 

¨U coming?¨ Alex askes

¨Yeah in I an minute, got to return this¨ you respond while holding the tie up.

Alex entered your room smirking while you knocked onto the door, accidentally opening it. 

You looked into the room and saw John writing something down while only wearing a towel. ¨I think this is yours¨

John turned around and you checked him out while smiling. John smiled back at you while walking over at you.

“ Here to tell me your name, Lass?” He asks while he stretched his body in front of you while he leans against the doorpost.

You smirk at john while holding his tie up. ¨I’m here to return your tie.¨

¨How thoughtful?¨ John said while gently grabbing the tie from your hand. Your hands touched and you locked eyes. His eyes were dark but so warm at the same time. While pulling the tie towards his body he smirked at you. ¨Here to give me something else love¨

¨You wish¨ You say to John while you let go of the bloody tie. You felt your cheeks turning pink so you quickly change the subject.

¨So what’s up with the blood?¨ You ask while looking at your hand blood-covered hand.

John’s smile fades

¨Do not worry your pretty little head about it, luv¨ he said while he enters his room again.

¨Whatever you say detective¨ you reply while smiling at him while turning around to walk back to your room.

¨Where did you get that¨ John asked while stepping back into the hallway. 

You turned around to face him. “Get what?” 

“Your Jacket” 

¨A small store in a town over up north, the man in the store gave it to me. Said that it would protect me or something, Why?¨ You asked while opening the door.

¨Nothing Lass,¨ John replies when walking back into his room and closing the door.

´Weird´ you think to yourself before you shut the door behind you.

Time flew by when John and Chas were researching the possible leads.

“ The families are I think some kind of sacrifice, but for what?” John mumbled as he flipped through the pages of a dusty book.

“Maybe something of roman origin, Austria was part of the roman empire,” Chas suggested as he opened his laptop.

John nodded as he grabbed a book about the roman gods out of his backpack. “Chas do you have more off those facts for me Mate?” John asked while he opened the book to a painting of the gods and their relatives.

“Sure,” Chas said while looking on the internet for some facts.

“Okay here we go; The name Austria derives from a Germanic word ‘Austro’ which means ‘east’, The Austrian flag is one of the oldest national flags in the world, Approximately one quarter of the population of Austria lives in Vienna, Austria is known for its mountain railways and trains such as the Giselabahn, The people of Austria are masters in creating objects with iron, Former Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up in Austria, 62% of Austria is covered by the Austrian Alps.”

“Stop,” John said while pointing to one of the gods.

“What, o John your not saying that the terminator is involved are you?” Chas jokes.

“No of course not you idiot, the iron, the metal,” John said while walking towards him. “Also known as Hephaestus in Greek mythology, Vulcan came to be considered as the manufacturer of art, arms, iron, jewellery, and armour for various gods and heroes, including the lightning bolts of Jupiter. He was the son of Jupiter (Zeus) and Juno(Hera), and the husband of Maia, Aphrodite (Venus) and Aglaia.”

“So you are saying that is must be connected to this ugly fellow, explains the flower,” Chas said while he entered the names of the names gods and deities into google. 

John looked back at his notes “ So we know about everyone who is probably involved, we might also have to look into diverse rituals” John said while placing a cigarette in his mouth.

“Outside,” Chas said, to which John replied“Yes Mum” 

John steps outside to clear his head while smoking one of his cigarettes. “Bottoms up you idiot, your in the bus” John heard you laugh. “Alright Alright,” a male voice replies. For a second the two of you were silent before you burst out in laughter. 

———–

“Good Morning Sunshine!” You say as you open the windows. The summer sun shined into the room and on Alex’s face. He slowly sat up before he ran towards the bathroom. 

You wanted to check on him, but the noises he was making told you exactly what was happening.

You grabbed your bottle of water and your medicine strip. When Alex exited the bathroom you handed it to him. 

“Two pills and the whole bottle, and hurry up. We are late for breakfast” you tell him teasingly. 

You quickly washed and changed into your clothes. While pinning your hair back with some Bobby pins you walked over to the balcony. You took a picture of the view and sent it to your Dad. 

“ Hi Dad, lots of love” you mumbled while typing in the words into your phone and sending him the text.

“I need food” Alex mumbled which caused you to turn around.

 "Well let’s get some!“ You reply while walking through the room towards the door. 

You opened the door and locked it with your card when you and Alex left the room. 

While walking downstairs you heard Alex mumbling about wanting to go back to bed. 

‘That boy can’t handle his liquor’ You laughed to yourself.

While entering the restaurant you noticed that the twins were not already at the table. 

"Good Morning,” You said to his parents.

His parents responded with morning and the two of you sat down at the table.

 "Have you seen the twins? They are never late for breakfast.“ Jane asked you two.

"No, we haven’t, if you want we can check their room?” You suggested while wondering why the twins were not at the table. 

Jane nodded “ I would like that, I will make you something to eat while you get those two. We don’t want to be late for the tour”

You quickly grabbed two pretzels on your way out and you handed one to Alex. 

While walking up the stairs to the twins their room you ate the pretzels.

When arriving at their door you knocked on it. “Guys wake up you are late for breakfast!" 

No noise. 

"Tara, Tim wake up” Alex added while banging harder on the door. 

Still no noise. Nothing. You could see Alex getting worried. 

“Aila, what if?” Alex asked desperately and your eyes got bigger.

“You are not suggesting..?” You reply. 

“ I am,” He told you. 

“No not on my watch,” You said while squatting down to pick the lock to there room.

You slid two of your Bobby pins into the manual lock on the door. 

“Alex when I say now I want you to kick against the electric lock”

Alex nodded and stepped back. 

“What’s going on here,” An angry Manager said as he walked over to us. 

You ignored the manager and simply spoke “3” as you unlocked the first tumbler.

“Just getting to my siblings” Alex said while getting into position to kick the door open.

“2,” You said when another one opened itself.

The manager looked at the two of you.

“Why?” He asked.

“1,” You said while hearing the last click of the lock.

“They were late for breakfast, their never late for breakfast” Alex replied.

“Now,” you said as you ducked, still holding the Bobby pins in place. 

Alex kicked the door open and stormed into the room. You ran in after Alex into the Twins their room.

Alex dropped down onto his knees and looked at you.

You just froze.

“Get his Parents”

My Experiences

Most materially/financially successful working to-date as I agreed to post from an earlier ask. (I chose this one due to the chain of results, recent time frame, less personal than some other workings tbh).

*NOTES

~Typed up quickly on my phone but done is better than perfect I guess.

~Tech - DSIC; pieces of several grims; some 7S (serviceable for starter but you can do better); posts from magicans on here (thedeedwithaname, coyote-696, jak, aur-ochs, etc); meditation heavy; took some habits from saint workings of others but applied to planetary angels; my own experiences from other systems, chrono app for times, correspondences from multiple sources, others do better write-ups for tech so read theirs and then read the actual grimoires.

~Leaving out a lot of details (away from journals at the moment) but here are the more important highlights.

*HIGHLIGHTS

So this started back about 5 months ago (and runs up to the present) when I posted one of my experiences using coyote-696 planetary talisman method. You can do a search under the tag @my experiences for more detail on that particular one. But essentially I created a talisman with the 2nd pentacle of Jupiter: to pass a ridiculous test, promotion at work, and general success overall.

The next day after that working I received a significant portion of the test bank with additional help to come later.

Given those results I doubled down on my planetary work (especially Jupiter) since then. And that talisman has become a regular part of my practice.

—-

Soon after, wife found the house (house #1) she wanted but we needed a couple of months before we’d be ready to put in an offer. I made a petition to Sachiel, reached an agreement to ensure that the house would still be available when we got ready to buy in a couple of months. Two days later it was listed as being in the process of selling. I was pissed.

—-

Next ritual with Sachiel. I spent a week preparing - fasted/abstained/meditations/smaller daily rituals/research/etc...

Leaving out most of the details but basically received some general instructions to tweak my planetary rituals, was told that there was another house for us (now really pissed - that wasn’t the freaking agreement) I ended up losing consciousness.

I was then startled awake during the next Jupiter hour (3:00am-ish) by an audible voice. So I started the ritual again, implementing the suggestions (still pissed but anger was replaced with a little more WTF awe). Anyway lot of stuff happened during the second go at it.

Highlights from 2nd part - lost time (way late to work), intense visions, and I received two images (for the rest of this post let’s call them 1 & 2). Finished the ritual but was feeling the effects of that working for a few days.

Couple of days later I was reading a grimoire and found image 1. After that image was a ritual laid out that helped flesh out the general instructions I had received on how to change my current methods. I used that as a basis on how to rework my planetary evocations.

—-

At this point I took and passed the test with only 1.5 weeks of lite studying while others average 2 intense months (and a lot of people still fail). So given the results I continued my daily/weekly rituals/offerings.

I received a promotion with a 22% raise - but honestly not unexpected given the outcome of the test. But I did receive it faster and came out ahead of my colleagues reputation wise.

—-

One of my ritual tools broke into the shape of image 1. (If you read my other posts that is now two tools that have been broken since I started working with Sachiel) But this one is still being used in its new condition.

Two higher ups, who are from the division I want to get into, approached me on a Thursday. Told me that they have a particular position opening up in 1-2 years (longer time frame actually works best for me for several reasons) and want to higher me. They then gave me a list of things that I need to add to my resume before that point. That promotion would increase my pay by another 80%. And since then assignments that provide the required experience have been flooding in.

—-

House #1 went back on the market (sale had apparently fallen thru) the week that we decided we were ready to buy (fulfilling the original agreement). But the same week another house that she liked even more was listed for sale (fulfilling the answer I received in the later ritual). During the next day’s ritual I asked if house #2 would work out better for us. And was basically told that I had already received enough signs.

Went to go view house #2. Etched on the front door as part of the design was image #1. Ok I was intrigued, while my wife was falling in love with the house, I ended up in the back yard where I found an item (image #2). Both items are fairly uncommon and very unlikely to both be found at the house. We ended up buying the house for below asking.

TAKEAWAYS:

**I did everything I could to the letter, things I couldn’t do I found/used the best substitute I could, and to make up for the short comings I went over the top with extras (communion, regular offerings, daily meditation, etc). My advise when starting a new system, follow the prescribed ritual as closely as possible, substitute where you have too, improve as you go, but generally going bigger is better until you can refine the process from experience.

***Start incorporating regular divination. Solid results but stop doing this shit half blind dumbass! #personal

****Results require work and loss of sleep.

*****Give magick avenues to work through. Don’t expect it to do everything. Magick is a force but it can do so much more, with less, if provided with the proper lever/fulcrum. Would you rather it be able to move pebbles or boulders?

******I attempted to do a read more thing from my phone. Sorry if it’s a wall of text :)

*******Guess I’ll be sticking with to see this through
