we were meant to live slowly!!!! we were meant to savor moments and feel unabashedly lazy and frolic and smell the flowers and laugh with our entire hearts and love with our entire souls!!!!! don’t ever feel guilty for resting!!!!!! don’t ever feel guilty for slowing down!!!!!! enjoying life shouldn’t be something you’re ashamed of

[the-cosmic-cauldron]

we have to stop with linking everything in this lifetime to a PURPOSE. because think about it…..that purpose (you think you have) is often a mixture of where you were born + your family background + and what’s accessible to you. you don’t truly have a PURPOSE because if so, you would have to be born into the conditions to fulfill it and most people simply aren’t. what we do have is CHOICES. and our choices collectively make our lives for better or for worse. not everything has to tie together but your choices should mean something to you.

funny cause my sister’s ex is a libra and she was like “ I think we would make good friends” and I told her libras fall for their friends, so I’m sure he’ll just want you again. all the libra’s I dealt with have friends they’ve fucked, friends they want, and friends that are ex’s. I don’t trust an air venus to just be my friend ngl.

── .✦ I don't know if people with saturnian 3H (capricorn or aquarius ruiling their 3rd house), know how blunt and rude they sometimes are. I'm dragging myself here, but at times we really do not know how to say things without hurting other people's feelings even if the intentions are good and we're trying to help. no sense of diplomacy just "you're being an idiot, here's what you should do" and you standing there feeling like you're being scolded by your deadbeat dad.

── .✦ if your crush has a libra venus and you’re worrying about not being pretty enough for them - don’t be. this "libra venus only wanting the prettiest of the pretty" talk is a propaganda, I’ve seen what they date, cuff and marry, you’ll be fine.

── .✦ aquarius placements (mars!) love for long ass rants about meaningless bullshit is why all those podcasts are infested with them.

── .✦ best thing to do is just ignore what they're ranting about this time and just listen to them for the sound of their voice only. cause baby, men with an aquarius mars have such nice voices, they have this low timbre and slow way of speaking that is kind of hypnotizing, for example: penn badgley, theo james, oliver jackson cohen, harry styles.

── .✦ cancer placements men getting whacked like a pinata left and right for having breeding kink, while libra placements men and their army of toddlers remain unscathed is the pretty privilege they yap about on tiktok.

── .✦ scorpio placements that are obsessed with being perceived as dark and  constantly talk like they are feared and desired by everyone are kind of like those 40yo divorcees of tiktok that pop up on your for you feed sometimes and they have black eyes filter on, lipsync to pop punk songs, talk about how scary and sexy they are, but their eyes look empty and sad cause linda took the kids and left. people clown leos for being self obsessed, but they have competition.

── .✦ I love when I stumble upon an astrology cliche, because why my gemini ascendant - sagittarius descendant friend keeps falling in love with priests, and now she's with a guy that left the church to be with her. gemini risings' ego's so big nothing's hotter to them than a man who loves them more than a god.

── .✦ if you wanna know if someone has leo placements just look at their partner, if their significant other has so much hair on their head NASA can photograph it from space - there's probably a prominent leo placement lurking in their chart. the higher the hair the closer to god - the god being of course, a leo.

── .✦ the dichotomy of cancer rising in women and in men is astounding. cause why cancer rising women are the most beautiful angelic creatures on this earth and cancer rising men look like hard boiled eggs or half-cooked potato. venus is much more egalitarian in that aspect cause she's blessed both the feminine and the masculine with beauty and charm and the taurus and libra risings both in women and men are usually conventionally attractive and then there's the the moon and she's like "and why would a man be here?".

── .✦ aries sun/mars folks need to learn to flirt with people without terrorizing these poor souls, cause what do you mean you like them so you were chasing them down with your car?

── .✦ libra placements get into relationship first and ask questions later. they see an opportunity to be coupled up, fall head over heels at the thought of it and then they get to know the person they're with, realize they're incompatible, the reality of who they're with hits them, the delusion wears off and that's why they have the reputation of being h-o-e-s. just doing things ass backwards in that area of their life. yeah, aries are hotheads in general but libras are too, they're just relationship hotheads.

I think people who say shit like that are purposely being dense. there are nursing + assisted living homes + home health aides. why? because people’s kids ain’t taking CARE OF THEM. and a lot of people’s kids are HARDLY VISITING. & honestly I’m gonna question that parent & how they patented—sounds transactional. there’s a plethora of reasons people have children and I wish these stupid ass reasons weren’t continuously recycled.

so here’s a list of why people have kids

• genuinely fucking love kids and being around them ( yes there’s a lot of adults who love kids and love being around them)

• wants a fucking family with their partner because it feels fulfilling ( yes a lot of couples feel fulfilled thinking of having a child)

• finds kids fascinating including their development ( there is literally degrees and certifications for careers with kids)

• are inspired by seeing other mothers and fathers and genuinely get baby fever and want to experience it.

• finds pregnancy and childbirth a very beautiful part of life. some people genuinely enjoy being pregnant.

• wants to nurture and take care of others ( if people can want pets to nurture and care for they can want kids)

• wants to continue their lineage and carry on tradition ( doesn’t matter if you disagree family is very important for a lot of people)

• enjoys watching kids grow and develop from children to adults, it makes them feel excited.

& some more….

we need to start talking to great and loving parents about child rearing and being a parent.

Something that burns me alive every time I hear it is “If you don’t have kids, who will take care of you when you’re old?” A child is not a retirement plan. A child is not an advanced directive or a nursing home or a home health aid. A child is not a reliable caregiver you have to groom into shape for 40 years. Hell, you might be a caregiver to your child for the rest of your life. Even if they’re born healthy and happy, they could get hit by a car and have massive brain damage at any point in their life. Do not have a kid solely so you can depend on them. That is a fucking evil reason to have kids.

[the-cosmic-cauldron]

Are you a radfem/rad-leaning?

I was at one point, though I would say I’m more of a woman liberationist who can appreciate rad-fem.

[the-cosmic-cauldron]

I don’t see marriage and kids as a purpose. it is a choice for the most part ( with nuance for those it isn’t). but it does suck that those aspects ( kids+marriage) are entangled with such negative shit because for the most part people’s desire for it is POSITIVE!

I said to be lesbian is lucky when you think of it from the perspective that nowadays there is distinct difficulty in hetero dating/relationships where women get the short end of the stick majority of the time to a man. I said lesbians are LUCKY because they have the ability to not deal with MENNNN and the difficulty in dating due to patriarchy and power dynamics and lesbians will even vocalize that themselves that they’re happy they don’t have to DEAL WITH THAT SHIT. I am talking purely in relation to the issues surrounding marriage & kids in a patriarchal and nasty society to women. they are lucky to not deal with that bullshit, not saying they’re LUCKY IN LIFE, that’s different. that’s exactly why I said this universe needs a reset, the system is still in placeeee so the solutions only go so far which can make one nihilistic, cynical or self defeated.

Met another woman today she's 84 and actively discouraged me from getting married, as usual with old women, they should know right? She told me in all her years with her husband he never cleaned anything. So it's another case of men living their whole lives with a maid at their service for free. Can you imagine that? Someone cleaning after you your entire life? Men really live in another reality don't they? Anyway, she started saying "men! men! Are you married?" I said no and she replied "good for you! Wait, maybe you have a boyfriend then?" I said no again, she replied "good for you! Men only think about themselves!"

[the-cosmic-cauldron]

awuh cancer sun & mercury girly! ✨

which of these combos is a green flag?

[the-cosmic-cauldron]

it really sucks that the only solution for this shit is “ don’t get married” or “ don’t have children.” you’re lucky if you’re lesbian, queer or bi and can go with a woman but then when you start going into those communities they be talking about how WOMEN WILL DO YOU WORSE THAN A MAN. it just feels very cynical, nihilistic, and self-defeating. we need a universe reset!

12th house synastry is way HARDER to get over than 8th house. The persons energy is felt within you no matter how distant you guys become. you smell their scent randomly, dream about them, you have moments where you think you got over them just to still be stuck on THEM.

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS IV - 'WHEN I AM UNHEALED'

PISCES MERCURY and their ghosting habit is an epidemic, the average fuckboy has COMPETITION.

A SUN person sharing the same sign as someone's RISING does indicate admiration, but it's well-known how ADMIRATION is one step away from JEALOUSY and SABOTAGE, especially if the sign is naturally competitive like ARIES, LEO, or SCORPIO.

Those with MARS aspecting URANUS has a bad reputation for violence against others, and although there are positives like in this post, it seems to be true.

MARS 1ST HOUSE also has that issue, but to a lesser extreme, the energy vibrating off them feels just as intense if not used right.

AQUARIUS MOONS can turn SELF-CENTERED or NARCISSISTIC if empathy isn't discussed or shared often, or if they lack water signs.

LILITH LIBRAS use their looks and charisma to evade responsibility or gain without putting in the effort. The epitome of a social climber, and you lose part of yourself in the climb.

DEJANIRA(157) conjunct sun/jupiter makes you self-loathing, a forever victim. THIS IS DAMAGING. IT IS NOT CUTE. I know we romanticise, but please, work on yourself.

VIRGO VENUS and their obsession with fixing up future partners takes SUCH a toll. If you have granite, don't press down on it like coal to get a diamond. You'll just feel angry at everyone around you and lash out. Be with someone who puts in EFFORT like you.

12TH HOUSE SYNASTRY, I know I talk about it a lot, but you will never stop seeing them in other people, it's like an ANVIL is dropped on your stomach, and that pain feels ghostly when you realise it's not them. NOT HEALING from something like this can make you the ULTIMATE USER, trying to feel what you lost in others, but never finding it.

TAURUS MARS not allowing themselves to get angry makes them SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, or once they get angry they ATTACK everyone around them.

[the-cosmic-cauldron]

Neptune beauty is when you have AURA, Venusian beauty is when you have style.

Neptune gonna turn heads regardless.

Venus gonna turn heads when they put effort into their look and style.

astrology observations pt 15 (controversial edition??)

by lup-ines

- for me, neptune ruled beauty ranks higher than venusian, neptune in the 1st/neptune aspecting asc people always have lethal face cards

- sagittarius suns and/or venus in cancer in a women’s chart makes you very male centred :/ every woman i know with these placements are always letting a man torment them to some degree so they don’t have to confront their own loneliness LOL

- saturn is an underrated and necessary aspect to having sex appeal

- virgos can dish but can not take lol!

- most aquarians are real lovers, their egos just can not handle someone knowing that they are important to them

- jupiter in the 8th/12th is not spoken about enough, the protection these people have in this lifetime is arcane and powerful. this may also point to people with this aspect doing bad things but not really feeling the brunt of the consequences

- mercury conjunct mars in synastry can indicate the mars person being turned on by arguments or the mercury person being able to easily get under someone’s skin

- mars square/opposite jupiter is often found in the charts of thieves, people with this placement can have a phase where they steal from others a lot (they usually learn to outgrow it)

- venus ruled people love to take other peoples partners

- saturn ruled people are usually stoners!

taurus moons are much more chill with a full belly.

as a moon in cancer a GOOD DEEP ASS SLEEP relaxes us. when we are heavily emotional sometimes it’s hard for us to cry until it gets super intense but sleep is very cleansing for us.

I hate to say it for virgo moons but I swear they don’t relax unless they drinking wine or sleep lmfaooo.

lol you were right with Scorpio moons relax through sex. they very well DOOOOOOOOOOO! they get sexually frustated QUICK.

Sagittarius MOONS just need that one bestie that makes them die of laughter and they’re good!

Moon sign and what relax us

This is based on my personal experience and traits of each zodiac sign. Why Moon tho, because it rules the emotions and when feeling anxious we do something about it.

Moon in Aries

Dear Arieses, you should try taking it out on working out, especially some mma sports or somewhere you will punch the tension out ( do not try it on your ex). Being always right also relaxes you. Running,riding a bike, being outdoors, or eventually commiting a crime. 🔥

Moon in Taurus

There is nothing better than full plate of food. Nervous? Snacks will help 100%. Cooking also, when they ask you "what's your secret recipe?" it is actually your negative thoughts boiled ✨. Watering plants, writing in your diary, going at the forest for a walk, picking up flowers/berries.

Moon in Gemini

Watching TED talks, gossips or you gossiping about others, watching formula 1 videos, yapping about your thoughts and what you did today, playing video games. You my fellow never shut up and that really lighten up your mood. Your ability is that does not take you long to relax. Do mocking people or teasing them also warms your heart?

Moon in Cancer

Aww bud you proccesing and crying out your emotions helps you a lot. Comfort zone and nothing else, baking, cuddling with your loved ones, watching comfort show, cleaning your room, visiting your grandparents, eventually suppressing your emotions to the point you collapse and then it feels good letting it out.

Moon in Leo

Imma go and do a new hairstyle and pouring my heart out to a hairstyler, then I will do my nails and rewarding myself with a long ass shopping session 💅. Cats? soo adorablee aw, you could watch cat videos all day and all your worries would go away. Painting, drawing or calligraphy also help you.

Moon in Virgo

Sometimes it is not so easy for you to relax, so you try every possible way but it does not work. Meditations, writing in your journal, reading books, watching something intellectual and stimulating, going to a museums, walking your dog and petting cute animals. Puzzles, sudoku and similar games to that.

Moon in Libra

Spending hours at shopping and especially buying nice cosmetics, Trying out new make up looks and practicing them on someone; doing tattoos or piercings. Meeting up with your besties and then talk about latest episode of Gossip Girl. Playing with dolls/toys even at the older age. Interior decorating also

Moon in Scorpio

Dear readers, if you first thought was "sex", please do not come to my town (jk). I was gonna write a sex but more for self pleasure. Solving mysteries, watching crimi movies, going for walk at the night, doing spells/rituals, or just soaking in a bath; lighting candles and a marihuana (oopsie, sounds more like a Pisces moon but will get to them also). Full bank account is your heaven on Earth.

Moon in Sagittarius

A good laugh with someone, watching vlogs about travelling, or travelling to short places; going to amusement park or cinema, your mind is at ease when there is fun and bright atmosphere. Playing with kids, listening to music or even dancing until your feet start to hurt. Watching movies or series also helps.

Moon in Capricorn

Doing duties, chores or cleaning your whole house even it has been cleaned yesterday; being in constant action and not sitting and overthinking your moods makes you feel easier. Crafts or even making a wooden chair is a way more better. When someone asks you "are you okay" you simply nod and try not to freak out even more.

Moon in Aquarius

Do you even have days when you're anxious? You always seem like you have it all and nonchalant about your emotions cuz you do not want to annoy others. Please, it is okay to speak it out or you could simply convert it into a battle at some online game you found. Being social also helps you, but to speak about why is animal testing so cruel. Being humanitarian brings you sense of belonging.

Moon in Pisces

And last but not the least, Pisces Moon = cigarettes. There is no better way of calming yourself than cigarettes. My three friends have this placement and they all smoke when the life is heavy. Alcohol is your bff and getting high. For more "developed" Pisces Moons speaking to therapist or watching videos about it is a key about regulating emotions. Also prayers and going to a church.
