🌟 General Astrology Observation

🔮 Disclaimer: Astrology is a tool for self-reflection and insight, not a fixed destiny. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. My posts are based on personal observations and general interpretations—everyone's birth chart is unique! 💫✨

~ People with strong Earth placements (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) tend to be practical, dependable, and value stability, but they can struggle with change and spontaneity.

~ Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) in personal planets often experience deep emotions but may struggle with emotional boundaries.

~ Fire sign risings (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) have a natural presence that makes them stand out, even when they’re not trying.

~Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) in Mercury make excellent communicators, but they may overthink or detach emotionally in conversations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

🌙 Moon Sign Observations

Aries Moon – Feels emotions intensely but moves on quickly; prone to impulsive reactions.

Taurus Moon – Needs comfort and security; struggles with change but is incredibly loyal.

Gemini Moon – Expresses emotions through words but may intellectualize feelings instead of feeling them deeply.

Cancer Moon – Deeply intuitive and nostalgic; emotions are tied to home and family.

Leo Moon – Needs to feel special and appreciated; craves warmth and recognition.

Virgo Moon – Analyzes emotions rather than expressing them; needs order to feel emotionally stable.

Libra Moon – Seeks harmony in relationships; dislikes conflict but may struggle with emotional indecisiveness.

Scorpio Moon – Feels everything intensely but often hides emotions; deeply transformative.

Sagittarius Moon – Needs emotional freedom; happiest when exploring new experiences.

Capricorn Moon – Practical with emotions; may struggle with vulnerability but is deeply reliable.

Aquarius Moon – Detached in emotional expression but deeply cares about humanity as a whole.

Pisces Moon – Highly empathetic and dreamy; emotions can be overwhelming and sometimes escapist.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Venus in Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) – Passionate and bold in love, but they can lose interest if there’s no excitement.

Mars in Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) – Uses words and intellect to resolve conflicts rather than direct confrontation.

Pluto in the 1st House – People with this placement often have a powerful presence and can go through many personal transformations.

Chiron in the 7th House – May struggle with wounds related to relationships but can become a great healer in love once lessons are learned.

Oh, sure, I know Queen. Here's a nifty, not-at-all-devastating fact for you: Brian just wanted Freddie to be loved. It's everywhere.

It's in his dislike for Don't Stop Me Now, a song that—in Brian's mind—represented drug use and intense partying that was leading Freddie away from the band, toward people who didn't care about his wellbeing. It's in Brian saying he regrets not looking after Freddie better.

It's in his writing Save Me to give Freddie an outlet for his heartbreak, but also subtly tell him, "Hey, you're a loving partner. You deserve one in return."

It's in Brian helping Freddie write It's a Hard Life, with expressing his heartbreak once again. It's in Brian watching the video for that song and interpreting the setting as a depiction of Freddie's emotionally unfulfilling personal life during the Münich era.

It's in Brian stressing that Freddie was always in serious, monogamous relationships, searching for the right person. It's in Brian defending Freddie's relationship with Jim and calling it loving.

It's in Brian having a soft spot for Don't Try So Hard, a song representing Freddie finally securing his dream relationship.

BRIAN JUST WANTED HIM TO BE LOVED.

John Reid invited Queen members and their couples to bet on a horse race. Without knowing, all of them chose the same horse, who won.

Okay, I'mma do it, if nothing else, some of these will be fun to see who falls into the extremes better than others

Angel: Lawful Good, the arbiter of good and order, and the natural antithesis to Evil. Do right, right, give hope, and administer justice. Stands by its ideals to create a better world, whether that's by shield or by sword.

The best fit is, perhaps on the nose, Larissa. With a truly good heart despite her grumblings, she knows she has a responsibility and sees it through, no matter what it may cost her. Unending kindness for those in need of her shield, and unwavering determination to mete out her judgment against those who would do them harm. An Angel of Mercy for the innocent, an Angel of Justice for the wicked.

Gold Dragon: Neutral Good, a wise and benevolent figure, the embodiment of mercy and second chances who sees the potential for Good in all. Nobody is beyond redemption, so long as they're willing to improve. But those who refuse to take the hand extended will instead meet claw and flame.

Cadence works best here, as the girl's unending love for those who would stand by her side has given her the ability to work with Servants few others, if anyone else, could hope to handle. She is boundlessly forgiving and happy to walk beside those who've even tried to kill her in the past, so long as they're willing to do so. Compassion unending, but she will still fight tooth and nail for what she believes in, and battle those who stand in her way, even if it breaks her heart in two.

Azata: Chaotic Good, the embodiment of freedom and free will, who despises slavery, imprisonment, and choices made for others. Kindness and chaos in equal measure, everyone deserves a chance to make their lives better by their own hand, even if they need the occasional push to keep on the right path.

Blanche is the truest embodiment of the Azata here, as a free spirit dedicated to the well-being of others, human and Pokemon alike. She lives freely, with a whimsy and joy that few others can match despite her harrowed background, but still offers wisdom and guidance to those in need when it's needed. Until then, she's all too happy to merely bring smiles to others and give them the motivation and drive to improve their own lot.

Aeon: Lawful Neutral, representing stability, order, and law at its most impartial, where everything has its place to contribute to the greater whole. Individuality is a weakness that only breaks the careful system that brings harmony, so to preserve that harmony, adherence to order is what's required.

Andrea is the best fit for the Aeon, as she keeps to her lane, uses her resurrective immortality as a part of her detective work rather than try to go beyond what she's reasonably capable of, and brings criminals to justice not because it's what's right, but because it's her role. Though acerbic and sarcastic, Andrea nonetheless abides by the law whenever she can, and works closely alongside the police in service of it, at times.

Trickster: Chaotic Neutral, complete and utter freedom, with only one thing on the mind: fun. Selfish, yet not destructive; whimsical, yet not kind, one's own happiness and enjoyment is the name of the game, and the game is rigged in their favor. Because seeing the other players flail about uselessly is fun in its own right.

Ciel works best as the Trickster, given her only goal is simply to improve. She enjoys testing herself, damn who or what she has to do to find that opportunity, completely uncaring if she frustrates those around her with her rampant desire to fight and grow. While she never devolves into purposefully obstinate, she is still inherently selfish; she's still a demon, just about as kind as a demon can naturally be - a problem not on purpose, but by pure accident.

Devil: Lawful Evil, tyranny and hunger for power at its purest and most dominating, who exploits order and law for its own benefit. Nothing else matters but exploiting those below you, often making them offer it up themselves through deceit and trickery - they can hardly complain if they brought about your rise to power themselves, can they?

Lucrezia is a natural fit for Devil, as her mafia organization is very hierarchal and orderly in its function. Each gear working in tandem to create a machine that exploits others and serves the greater purpose of the Famiglia - and with Lucrezia at its head, she reaps the most rewards. She dominates with terrifying charisma and blood-chilling, unrestrained cruelty if the need for it arises. Fall into line under her, or be left a blood smear on the pavement.

Lich: Neutral Evil, the gluttony to Devil's greed, and an unending thirst for knowledge, life, and power, methods be damned. Order and chaos have their uses both, so long as they both serve the means of getting more. More of everything, anything that makes life worth living, that elevates one to ever-greater heights. Morality is but a chain holding one down from their true potential.

Hedwig best suits the Lich in her constant quest to prove herself the most superior mind on the planet. Conqueror and scientist alike, she toils away to dominate, to sate her ego, and place herself above all other life on the planet to soothe her wounded pride. There is little she won't do to take her rightful place at the top of humanity, even if she must ultimately wipe them all out. They can only be their best under her, and if they won't kneel before her, she will destroy them.

Demon: Chaotic Evil, rage and passion walking, the wrath to the Devil and Lich's own sins of greed and gluttony, all that matters is sheer, unfettered passion. Letting one's impulses guide them, so that they can enjoy what breaks free from the cage of restraint. There is no greater purpose to these destructive whims, just the ever so addictive quality of letting loose and basking in the metaphorical afterglow.

Kiku, while not wrathful, is guided purely by her passions and her inner nature as a being of Desire. She uses and abuses others - particularly humans - to sate this desire of hers, even as she tries in a futile effort to understand them. She hurts and tramples over others without regard to their feelings or health, unregretful of the lives she's crushed in an effort to sate her passions.

Legend: No alignment, the embodiment of pure potential, truly unrestrained by morality and ego, and a force of nature in physical shape in all but name. To be who you are, true to yourself, and rise above your limits, to accomplish your goals and realize your destiny. No mere myth, but a true legend.

Yuko best fits the Legend - she is no historical figure with mystical powers, no magical or mutated being with supernatural powers, no human-shaped creature from beyond humanity. She is a human girl, who learned of her ancestor's deeds, and so inspired, decided to become the best she could be to live up to his legacy. With but her training and a reverse-bladed katana in hand, she has risen above much of humanity, becoming a paragon of mankind without any outside help.

And lastly...

Swarm: Pure Chaotic Evil, an unending hunger for destruction, complete and absolute nihilism. Hating all and hated by all in return, there is no more safe haven for anyone, as disdain for life in all its forms must see every last spark of light snuffed from existence. Everything must die, everything must be consumed, for no other reason than life's very offending presence.

Captain Kidd is the best fit for the Swarm, as beneath her self-inflicted facade is a woman so sociopathic that she'd gladly see all of humanity wiped out just to drag the Master of Chaldea into death and despair, she's a human that the Human Order itself rejected, to the point that she can only manifest by hijacking her husband's Saint Graph. And were it not for that rejection of humanity, that Pretender class container she's forced into, she'd never answer the call to help a human - she only wishes to see others fall, and it's only with self-inflicted delusions that she can fight for the betterment of humanity.

@lachrymosestorm liked for a random one-liner!

"Excuse me! Sorry, but I've been trying to find the bookstore, do you know where it is?"

[theprophetsaid]

Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about how Brian Harold May put his entire career on the line by disclosing his AIDS test to The Sun in 1992 because he wanted to defend Freddie and millions of other victims against serophobic discourse.

And I'm thinking about how he went on live television and paid respect to the gay men who took care of Freddie in his final days (Does it ring a bell, Peter?).

But no, there was no closeness there :)

July 13, 1985 - Chrissie Mullen May and baby Louisa May, Brian May's wife and daughter, can be seen onstage during the "Live Aid" concert finale, where big stars such as George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Paul McCartney, David Bowie and Bono, sang "Do They Know it's Christmas?".

Live Aid was a multi-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985, as well as a music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise further funds for relief of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia, a movement that started with the release of the successful charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1984. Billed as the "global jukebox", Live Aid was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, attended by about 72,000 people, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, attended by 89,484 people.

On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative were held in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia, and West Germany. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, in 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40 percent of the world population.

In Hindsight

our love is dishevelled

crammed into crowded spots

between piles of laundry

on the linoleum floor

swept up, off my feet

into clumsy domesticity

oh how lovely this warm spot

in your lovely warm heart

“Oh god, I’m bad at math AND I’m late for school!”

I really like how the last scene in space was a direct parallel to how Suletta and Miorine met. Just a girl, floating in space, whereupon a mobile suit flies down to help her. Oh, how they’ve grown.

We might not have gotten a kiss, but they clearly love each other and that’s all I need.

Someone: Did you know that Freddie wrote Love of My Life for Mary—

Me: False. Also, did you know that Freddie and Brian arranged the song for live performances so they'd be alone on stage? Did you know that they performed it together for a decade? Did you know that, when Freddie died, Brian went on his solo tour trying to flee from Queen as a whole? And despite this, he still performed this song alone on stage each night, even though he had tears in his eyes; even though he could barely sing? For Freddie? Did you know he turned this song into a tribute all by himself? For Freddie. Did you know that sometimes, while performing the song, Brian gets furious with grief? "I'm looking at my friend, someone I shared so much of my life with, and in a sense he's here because I'm performing with him. And in a sense, he's not. And that still makes me angry. That still makes me sad."
