Intuitive Machines, the venture-backed startup that went public last year, will send a moon lander to the lunar south pole in 2027 as part of a $116.9 million contract awarded by NASA on Thursday.  This is NASA’s tenth award under its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program; of these, four have gone to Intuitive Machines. The company will deliver six NASA payloads to the moon as part of the deal, though there will be additional payload capacity on the lander for commercial customers.

I want to beam the calories episode of Maintenance Phase directly into every human being's brain. Something about people who truly did the research telling me that 'our bodies are smart and if you eat a little extra one day you will simply be less hungry the next day' fixed something inside of me for real

I've been working on old eating disorder stuff and practicing intuitive eating for years now but somehow this episode made just as much of an impact on me as several years of therapy. Does my brain still say dumb ED stuff to me sometimes yeah but intuitive eating has become my default mode after processing this episode which is incredible.

my supervisor telling me about tidyverse: you probably use it and know it really well. i cant get the hang of it. i feel like a dinosaur. it is super modern and is supposed to be intuitive, but base R is so much better for me.

I think a lot of it (being drawn to people who remind us of other people) has to do with our human tendency for pattern recognition. For better or worse, we like to notice patterns and group things accordingly, and this ABSOLUTELY plays out in how we choose which people to spend time with! There's a sense of comfort that comes with familiarity. "Ah, I already know how to interact with this type of human." I think THIS is mostly the explanation for the very real phenomenon of people choosing partners that resemble their parents in some way (there was no need to get as weird with it as Freud did, haha). You feel like you already know what to expect! They feel like "home" in that way, but whether that is good or bad largely depends on what the prior relationship WAS. Sometimes a familiar Badness can FEEL safer than the Unknown. But anyway, we also recognize those patterns with other relationships! "I made friends with this person because they remind me of ME," or "I was attracted to this person because they remind me of this other person whom I love, and I already know that I get along with this Type of person." There's a lot said about the allure of the "new" and the whole "opposites attract" thing, which of course CAN come into play as well, but I think there's also a lot to be said about getting to know a person and sensing: "Oh. I know YOU." (The same way we know which berries are the ones safe to eat. 😂 We observe and categorize. All the time!)

This is a topic I have been fighting about with my mother for YEARS now (I literally nicknamed her Freud) and we only recently came to a sort of compromise when it comes to it and yes. Okay. I am willing to accept that my mother acts like my father's mother, my grandmother, or that my father resembles my own mother's father in certain regards, but I came up with my own romanticized view on it that works in certain cases. Sure, there must be something animalistic about it and for some it's definitely this cyclic occurrence involving generations and generations of people, but in my particular case my mother and father both managed to outgrow the circumstances of their childhoods, both financially and psychologically. (our family is nothing like the families they grew up in and I wish everyone could grow up the way I did) But I choose to believe this urge to find others similar to us or our loved ones in thought specifically can be a form of breaking the cycle. I love the way your mind works because mine or a loved ones works similarly so by "assembling" these people based on this instinct we are capable of building our own families, not entirely independent from genetics or history, but even better precisely because it is based on these things we cannot chose, but still manage to outsmart in some way. Sure. I pick you because you are familiar in some way, but what if we were dealt the same cards others before us were dealt and we did something different with them this time. Even if it's a slight change, it's still a fresh addition to the genetics of our lives because it's only a form of mutation that is capable of changing things for the better.

I have serious thoughts about Blue Space that I want to do like a goodbye between Zhuo Wen and Chu Yan before Zhuo Wen goes into hibernation until conditions are good enough for research while Chu Yan stays behind on World I to continue his duty. However, I have other thoughts like "what if I drew them like they're in a rock band"

The Science of the Subconscious

An in-depth overview of Carl Jung’s “Shadow Self”

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." -Carl Jung

Introduction

Carl Jung, a renowned Swiss analytical psychiatrist, developed and introduced the concept of our “Shadow Self,” which provides us the captivating and intriguing idea that there are two aspects of our selves: The conscious side and the subconscious side; the latter which is normally hidden and only may be acknowledged or accessed via the use of specific forms of therapy. He also had advanced the concept of introvert and extravert personalities as well as personality archetypes (Biography, 2023).

Carl Jung also helped develop analytical psychology, commonly termed as “Jungian Psychology” or alternatively, “Jungian Therapy.” It is the study of a comprehensive, analytical form of therapy to distinguish the conscious mind from the subconscious mind, with the objective to gain an immense understanding of the patient’s “real” self, rather than the perception of self they display to the world around them (Psychology Today, 2022).

Practicing Jungian Psychology

The practice of Jungian Therapy is used for a broad range of mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or it may be used generally to determine an individual's purpose and their life direction. There are some widely accepted methods to identify the conscious and subconscious mind, including dream analysis, performing arts therapy, and by word association (Psychology Today, 2022).

At its fundamental level in understanding the purpose of Jungian Psychology, it is essentially used as a form of psychotherapy (or talk therapy,) and can be used as a sole substitute for other therapy or supplemented with conventional forms of therapy.

There are a set of criteria needed to become a practitioner, which includes the completion of two programs, taught concurrently, called “The Jungian Psychotherapy Program and the Jungian Studies Program,” and have licensure as a mental health professional (The C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago, 2025).

The Jungian Archetypes

There are twelve Jungian archetypes when psychologically assessed and each archetype provides a deeper comprehension of the individual’s subconscious mind. An archetype, in this context, is defined as a particular mental view that is inherited from the late human ancestors, that shapes our emotional patterns, thought processes, and our behaviors (Copley, 2025).

Of the twelve archetypes, there are four core archetypes:

The Self

An egoless persona of the individual, serving as a luminescent light to light the path for discovering the realization of self and personal transformation.

The Persona

Serves as the aspect of ourselves that we may “mask” or conceal from others, and instead use other behaviors only known of superficially to function in the outside world.

The Shadow

Hidden within the human psyche are a system of behavioral and personality traits that are normally not seen or accessed regularly, and therefore often repressed deeply within our subconscious that it may become difficult to expose.

The Anima/Animus

The equivalent of what is deemed as “twin flames” in mysticism, or what is considered as our masculine and feminine selves. Understanding the anima/animus may transcend societal and social expectations, discovering more profound traits for self-improvement and navigating through life.

The Anima refers to the feminine parts of a man’s personality whereas the Animus refers to the masculine parts of a woman’s personality (Centre of Applied Jungian Studies, 2023).

To uncover your individual Jungian Archetype can also be achieved by taking assessments, many of which can be found online. Although you can find tests to take for free, bear in mind these may not be as accurate as a paid assessment, or a result given by a Jungian practitioner (Copley, 2025). There are a few different options when taking a Jungian Archetype test, which can either be available online or be given by a practitioner.

The Jungian “Shadow” Archetype

The Shadow archetype, that is introduced by Carl Jung, captures the aspects of ourselves that we often reject, resent, or perhaps are not recognized. The Shadow Self has traits about us that are consciously frowned upon, but nonetheless still can be found within our subconscious mind. Our Shadow Self contrasts with our other archetype, The Persona, which can be easily found within our conscious mind (McLeod, 2024).

Our Shadow Self manifests when we project our rejected traits onto yourselves, which serves as a mirror of the aspects of ourselves that we oppose of. To acknowledge, engage, and address our Shadow Self can present as a major challenge, but can be possible with an adequate amount of time practicing Shadow Work, and/or working with a Jungian Therapist (Psychology Today, 2022).

This interplay of the Persona and the Shadow has been previously explored in literature, and a more famously known one is, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” as it highlights the character’s dual natures, hence providing an illustration of Carl Jung’s theory (McLeod, 2024).

Carl Jung’s Psychology Test resonate with another well-known personality assessment, called the “Myers-Briggs Indicator” test, which categorizes people into 16 personality types, with each type represented by four letters (Simkus, 2024).

There are four dichotomies, or core categories in this assessment:

Extraversion (E) or Introversion (I)

Sensing (S) or Intuition (N)

Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)

Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

This assessment can also be found online, with a free version and a paid version. Just like the Jungian Test, the free test results can be inaccurate or use outdated information and therefore should not be solely relied upon if desiring the most objective result based on the most recent credible sources.

You can take the Myers-Briggs test online, which has a free version and a paid version available, on 16Personalities.com. Alternatively, you can access a free Jungian Personality Type assessment at ‘Open Psycho Metrics.���

Summary of Carl Jung’s “Shadow Self”

Carl Jung’s theory of Personality Archetypes offers a profound lens through which we can understand human behavior and the unconscious mind. Among the archetypes, “Shadow" plays a pivotal role. The Shadow represents the repressed or hidden aspects of our psyche—traits, desires, and impulses that society or personal ideals deem unacceptable. Often lurking in the unconscious, the Shadow can influence behavior in subtle and surprising ways, manifesting as fears, projections, or even unacknowledged talents.

Confronting the Shadow is essential for self-awareness and personal growth. Jung believed that integrating the Shadow into our conscious mind leads to individuation, a process of becoming whole and balanced. By acknowledging and embracing our Shadow, we can transcend inner conflicts and unlock deeper layers of authenticity.

In closing, the Shadow reminds us that self-discovery is not just about celebrating our light but also understanding and harmonizing with our inner darkness. It is through this integration that we achieve a fuller sense of self.

Integrating the Shadow Self

Practice Self-Reflection: Set aside time for introspection, journaling, or meditation. Reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, especially those that trigger discomfort or defensive reactions.

Observe Your Projections: Pay attention to traits or behaviors you strongly dislike in others. These reactions can often reveal aspects of your own Shadow that you may be unconsciously avoiding.

Embrace Vulnerability: Acknowledge and accept your fears, flaws, and insecurities without judgment. This allows you to face your Shadow with compassion rather than resistance.

Engage in Creative Expression: Art, music, writing, or other creative outlets can provide a safe space to explore and express the hidden parts of your psyche.

Seek Feedback: Trusted friends, family, or mentors can offer insights into blind spots in your personality. Their perspectives may help you see traits you might overlook in yourself.

Work with a Professional: Therapists or counselors trained in Jungian psychology can guide you through Shadow work and help you uncover deeper layers of your unconscious.

Practice Mindfulness: Develop the habit of observing your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Mindfulness creates space for deeper awareness and helps you stay present as you explore your Shadow.

Cultivate Curiosity: Approach your Shadow with curiosity rather than fear. Ask yourself what lessons it holds and how it might contribute to your growth.

As you bring your Shadow into the light, you may find hidden strengths, creative energy, and a greater sense of wholeness. Which of these methods resonates with you the most?

there's so much about the way the medical field operates that i hate, from medical school to actual medical practice. so much of it just encourages these passionless, soulless practitioners who never had their hearts set on helping people in the first place and that translates in their work and affects real human lives

ASTRO FORECAST!! TOTAL ECLIPSE IN ARIES (new moon). Moon, Sun, Chiron, North node, and Mercury are all in a conjunction. Chiron in an Aries cazimi. Aries stellium. Venus has also Joined in Aries recents. Ruler of Aries In Pisces and conjunct saturn in Pisces 1 degree apart. Rulers of pisces in Pisces (Neptune) and Taurus (Jupiter). Ruler of taurus is Venus (see Venus in Aries). Reminder that Mercury is still in Retrograde

Spiritual and religious communities are just... not getting along lol. There debates on what info is the truth. What is fact from fiction? Many have blocked intuition on receiving the truth happen to also be loud... almost aggressive even. How are everyone claiming to be experts on the same thing or similar yet... can be wrong or in less unity. Especially on spirituality?

Ego death has been heavy. Painful. Society is changing in intense ways and by the many.

Our connection understanding where we get our resources needs to improve.. Respect and gratitude for what goes into us even getting resources is needed as well as more improvements on how they can be less blocked off from the common people.

People's temper is all rooted to seeking unconditional love and yet not understanding how to practice it well. Some of us feel very new at it. Wanting to rush learning before we can truly absorb it at our own pace.

Deities, celestials, and spirits connected to water and storms need to be taken into account. Accidents in the water, water pollution, water based technology, tidal waves, tsunamis, sea creatures, storms, rain, flooding, droughts, showers and baths, laundry, water connected to gardening, and more topics are being affected. Violence on the water or by water is also a possibility.

Sleep is being affected with more aggressive dreams. Arguing, fighting (even physical), even if Sci fi like, are getting frequent. Dreams itself are very disruptive.

What are the karmic affects of violence and pacifism and how do we find balance in it or another option entirely?

We'd all be proven right more if we let our intuition lead instead of a tempermental ego.

Check your Mars sign and placement since Aries is ruled by Mars.

This post is a little scattered in how I organized the points, but it's mercury retrograde and so, I wrote what I wrote.
