Physical Appearance and Astrology

[constellystals]

Mar Signs Effect On Physical Appearance✨

Mars in Aries: athletic body, fast, brusque movements, aggressive, determined walk, physical strength, turns red when angry, angular movements, angular eyebrows, some “masculine ” features even in women (like square jaw, prominent muscles etc.). Maybe red hair even?? A voice that stands out?

Mars in Taurus: curves, sturdy, well-built body, thick or strong neck, curly hair, “Taurean” features and appearance, slow, deliberate, sensuous, sinuous movements and walk, very strong when provoked, but generally slower reflexes, tendency to gain weight, soft, deep or sensuous voice.

Mars in Gemini: Mercurial, fast, youthful looks and movements, fast walk, youthful appearance, talks with the hands, dexterity, good mimics of the face, slim, teenage-like, talks fast, more ethereal, youthful voice.

Mars in Cancer: curvaceous, lack of muscles, white soft skin, nice breasts or nice pectorals, round and fluffy even if not fat, round face, a zig-zag walk Celestica described, maybe?? , soft touch, blushing easily, sensitive skin, soft, whisper-like, sweet or shy voice.

Mars in Leo: the mane, tall or proud looking, straight, long back, “arrogant”, big nose, tendency to gain weight, large, regal hand gestures, deep or “feline” voice (especially in women), sinuous feline walk, with large steps.

Mars in Virgo: beautiful, virgin like, youthful and mercurial appearance. I know a few men with Mars in Virgo, it gives the typical Virgo eyes, very bright and somehow gentle, innocent. Slim, intellectual body types. Mercurial walk (fast and somehow jumpy). A sensitive tummy. Dexterity of hands, talk with their hands. However, being an Earth Mars, a more sensual look than Gemini, something earthy. Feminine features even in men.

Mars in Libra: gracious, ethereal, slim and sinuous in movements and appearance. Maybe tendency for long, wavy hair. Generally wavy movements. Elegant voice, hands, movements and walk. A general look of elegance. Seductive voice. Taller than usual or might appear taller than in reality, an impression of height. Good dancers.

Mars in Scorpio: “dark”, Plutonian eyes and features, darker skin or hair or a “dark” impression even if blonde. Interesting remarks about the voice by Rick Grayson. Strange, “witchy” or bedroom like voice (this could go for Taurus too). Various body types, I think, but could walk into a room without being heard, the ability to walk silently. Seductive appearance in either body or face, definitely Scorpionic eyes or gaze.

Mars in Sagittarius: shorter legs, longer upper torso (Centaurus), athletic or strong body even if overweight ( a tendency for Jupiterian Sagittarius), loud laugh, broad smile, something “big” in their appearance: like nose, hands, feet, forehead etc. Could have a very strong voice. A faster and stronger than normal walk (the horse). Very outdoor-ish in appearance.

Mars in Capricorn: typical Saturnian features, sturdy, maybe smaller/petite women, high and broad cheekbones, serious look, no gesticulation, steady, intimate voice, earthy appearance, goat like features and definitely the mountain goat walk (fast, tip-toed). Sensitive skin.

Mars in Aquarius: something unusual in face or body, at least one striking feature (colored eyes, unusual nose, forehead, hands etc.), ethereal, scattered, abrupt walk or movements, could be of any body type. Maybe very tall?

Mars in Pisces: good dancers, dreamy eyes, beautiful feet and legs, watery movements and walk, soft voice with feminine inflexions even in men, luminous skin.

Does it fit with your Mars?

Thank for your time reading this 😊.

If someone said to me, "I'm a beginner witch and I want to cover my bases in case I run into magical trouble," I would recommend:

One home ward for general protection, probably as a container spell or as an artificial spirit (perhaps using clove, red pepper, cinnamon, and soil or dust from the corners of the home/property), for the purpose of keeping out ill-fortune, ill-intent, and unwanted guests

One completely separate home ward, probably as a container spell (perhaps using dill, rosemary, and garlic), for the purpose of keeping out uninvited spirits, unwanted spirits, and malefica sent intentionally or unintentionally by other practitioners

One heavy-duty protective amulet, probably made of rusty nails or a piece of hematite or otherwise iron, for the purpose of behaving as a suit of heavy armor in case of spiritual alarm; to be carried about as you solve the problem; the effects of which may be encumbering and too imposing for everyday use

One more mild protective amulet (perhaps made of amethyst jewelry, or an acorn, or an oak twig cross), for the purpose of providing an immediate protection against ill spirits and energies; to be worn when a shield is desired, but a shielding energy-working technique is too draining or time-consuming; should be comfortable to wear as often as desired

Of all of these things, avoid repeating ingredients across charms, unless you are in special allyship with a certain spirit.

Those persons also suffering from nightmares or disturbed dreams may also benefit from:

One bedroom ward, probably a container spell or Witch's Ladder (perhaps containing star anise, amethyst, knotted cord, spiders or the forms of spiders, and rosemary), for the purpose of tangling up ill spirits and ill energies which inspire bad dreams.

Of any ward and amulet, feed it a minimum of once a season; if they're working often to provide assistance, or if the effects run out, increase feeding to once a month; in times of distress, feed weekly or as needed.

[constellystals]

Types of Protective Magick:

Apotropaic: Usually in the form of amulets, written charms; used to turn away an undesired force. Examples include the Gorgoneion, a holy scripture (such as the Bible, Quran, Havamal, the Bhagavad Gita or the Devi Gita), Iron or Iron-Based Items.

Decoy: Instead of the Malefic Force hitting the practitioner, it gets distracted with an item or representation. Like a poppet, piece of meat.

Spirit Trap: The Malefic Force is given a distraction that prevents it from hurting the practitioner. Can include a layered plant like onion. Some make use of grains of sand, salt or rice which supposedly forces the spirit to count it rather than enter the house.

Offering: An item that is desirable is placed outside the house, the spirit partakes of that rather than entering the home. Especially suited for the Deipnon.

Warding (Spatial): Items are placed around the space that set up a protective barrier. Can become an issue when filtering, make sure to set the intent that malefic is kept out and benefic is allowed in.

Guardians: Statues can be infused to keep watch, allowing good in and evil is warded off. Some animals are very lucky and can be used for magnetizing and pacifying (reducing negative qualities and instilling positive ones in the home)

Floor Washing: Particular herbs or items are noted for their protective qualities. Might not mix Fire Herbs with Water, but it also depends on the space. Martial Herbs might be preferred outside but not in the living space where relaxation and peace is sought. Most basic is basil or salt.

Door Guarding: An item is placed over the door to ward off evil forces, horseshoes, iron, signs with sacred scripture, chalking and so on. A plant can be kept by the front door.

Binding: More active form of pacifying, enemy or force is stopped and blocked by methods. Prevents movement and action being taken against the practitioner. Useful for spirits, a spirit may be bound to a tree or item to prevent it from doing harm until it is decided or mediated. Can be used to help with illnesses and fevers.

Bodily Warding: Amulets worn on the body, strengthens spiritual connection in some cases while preventing unwanted forces from interacting. Veiling is common. St. Cards, Spiritual Scriptures and others can be kept or recited over the self. Useful before rituals.

Hey there how are you doinggg ? Can u tell me how to get started with sexual tarot readings ?

Like i know nothing in respect to how to read cards in respect to sexual terms.

Any help would mean alot thank you !!!

hi!!! sorry that it took so long to answer this, but i didnt know how to start this post, too much to say! ^^

btw I always use Rider-Waite deck, the basic one

anyone reading this post should be 18+

𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐢 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭? 🔞

1) first of all, every reader has its own rules, practises and understands tarot in a different way. its like eating bread made by various people. it's delicious, however it tastes different. the same goes with tarot, everyone does it in a different, unique way, but outcome is most important

2) when I started reading tarot about sex (for my friend) I had no idea what each card mean, so I had to follow regular meaning of cards and my intuition and then apply it to sexual question that was asked. my advice is to just go with the flow and don't force yourself to know everything right away.

3) also I sometimes watched 18+ reading on YouTube so I knew what cards readers associate with which sexual act/kink. so I suggest you to sometimes to watch it. ;)

for example —

suit of wands 》 big, veiny dick (especially ace)

the tower card 》 hard, erected penis

the devil card 》 demon in bed, bdsm, obsessive energy

4) lets be honest, the more you practise, the better you'll become. if you know basic information about tarot, you'll learn very soon. tarot deck always speaks to its owner so don't ignore what your cards speak to you. look at cards images, what type of body/person/archetype it present. if you know astrology, connect cards (especially Major Arcana) to particular zodiac signs and their specific kinks/sexual acts/erogenous zones.

for example—

Gemini — dirty talk, mental stimulation, ears, hands

Aquarius — mental stimulation as well, unusual kinks, telephone/face time sex, sexting

Cancer — prominent breasts, breeding kink, safe sex, mommy kink

5) my last advice is to never doubt your intuition. it's sounds obvious, but trust me, it will guide you through thin and thick. also you may ask your tarot deck or angels/universe for cooperation and help :) go with the flow and let yourself create your own practise and ritual ^^

𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞

Magician 》 a lot sex toys, experimental, amazing skills, confident

King of Wands 》 dominant, horny, passionate energy, good dick, overconfident, tease

7 of swords 》 sneaky link, light bdsm, dirty talk, manipulation, power play, knife play

Queen of Cups 》 motherly energy, intuitive/spiritual sex, sex with soulmate, delicate, romantic, passionate, sloppy kisses, wet pussy, conceiving a baby

The World 》 sex in jacuzzi/bath tub/any water body, admiring body, curvy body, sex with people from other countries, sex on trip, hook up during travel

The Devil 》 hardcore, rough sex, overflowing lust and desire, obsessive daydreaming about sex, sex in bathroom at party, chains, bdsm, power dynamics, threesome, amazing dick/pussy, stamina

The Tower 》 hard dick, unexpected erection, explosive/life changing sex, quickies, anal sex

if you need more interpretations, just ask in my ask box ^^ I hope I helped a little bit :3

Super Easy Tarot Tips

I definitely didn’t come up with these, but they’re worth repeating!

Interpreting the suits

The pip (minor arcana) suits can tell you what aspect of life is being discussed. Everyone can have their own definitions, but often –

Pentacles = Earth and reveal income and money, home life, all domestic issues, family, and platonic relationships.

Cups = Water and reveal emotions, romantic relationships, subjective experiences, and personal need.

Swords = Air and reveal mindset, objectivity, professional relationships, pain, and difficult or professional (“it’s just business”) choices.

Wands = Fire and reveal passions, desires, boundaries, sexual relationships, burdens, and choices borne out of inner need.

Noting which suit is dominant, absent, or balanced with another suit can provide instant context to a reading. You can actually provide really insightful interpretations just based on the suits and how they’re arranged next to each other, before ever considering what each card actually is.

Example: If you draw a 6-card spread about finances and there are 4 wands and 2 cups, you know the issue or blockage your client is facing is probably about what they really want out of life and how they feel about their job and current status.

Pip sequence

You don’t have to memorize numerology to use pip numbers. Each suit represents a progression from beginning (Ace) to end (10). If you look at a number 7 card, you don’t have to remember what 7 might mean numerologically. You already know that 7 is getting pretty close to the end of the suit, and this card is going to represent something already well developed and headed towards completion, but it isn’t quite there yet.

Example: You draw a 3-card spread about how someone’s relationship is going. You get an Ac, a 2, and a 9. You can interpret that this person’s relationship is still in the beginning stages, in the phase where a lot is still being worked out. However, there is an aspect of their relationship where they already feel like old friends.

Court cards

If you understand the numbered cards to be events and circumstances, court cards can easily become roles, identities, and behaviors. Switching court cards from having to be a person, and allowing them to be aspects of personhood, can make them easier to read. Using this interpretation, a court card can be:

- The role or persona a person feels they must take

- An aspect of someone’s overall identity

- The category or type of behaviors needed or displayed

- The resulting effect of a situation; the court card is how people are made to feel, act, or react

- Etc.

Generally, pages are beginners, learners, experimenters, and observers. Knights are in the thick of things, taking actionable steps and affecting the world around them. Queens represent the wisdom and knowledge of their suit. Kings represent managing, ruling, and delegating within their suit.

Example: In a spread about becoming a better person, one card is the Knight of Wands. The reader can’t think of anyone they know who is a Knight of Wands type and doesn’t know who it could be referring to. If the card is reframed as a category of behaviors, the reader might see that they should more often take action and stand their ground.

Exercise suggestion!

Take out all the major arcana cards and do practice readings with just the pips and court cards. Only interpret suit, pip number, and title (that is, if the card is a page, knight, queen, or king). See what interpretations you’re able to come up with only using these 3 factors and not the images on the cards or any traditional meanings.

Match Magic

Match magic is a versatile and easy sort of spellcrafting. Unfortunately, fire is a necessity so this is not for people who can’t light matches.

The basic concept of match magic is that the matchstick is charged with intent. Then, the match is burned to release the intent so the magic can go do its work. As the match burns, watch the flame to divine the success or manifestation of the spell.

1. Getting prepared

The only thing you really need are wooden matches. Lighters do not work for this particular kind of thing because the main focus is on charging and burning the wood, not the fire itself. I can find a box of 250 large wooden matches for a dollar here.

When you hold a lit match, the match cannot burn all the way down (or you will really burn your fingers!) This may lead you to feel like the entire spell has not been released. There are three solutions I have found and perhaps one will resonate with you depending on your beliefs:

a. Mark a line on the match with a pencil, and put the intent only on the burning end. When the flame reaches the pencil mark, blow it out. All the intent will be released without your fingers being burned. b. After the match is lit, carefully and firmly grasp one end with a pair of tweezers. This will allow the entirety of the match to burn, releasing all the intent. c. Recognize that the bit of unburnt match left over works to ‘ground’ the magic in your life, helping keep the intent attached to the physical plane as it goes about and does its work in the ethereal or astral.

If you choose, you may watch the match burn down in order to divine the success of the spell, or the path it will take during manifestation. The shape of the charcoal may also give you a clue as to the success of the magic. However, in order to read the omens in the flame, you should have a good understanding of what a regular, mundane match looks like when it burns. Get your box of matches and decide on a few things:

Will you be holding all your matches perfectly horizontal, or vertical, or in some other fashion?

Will you be holding the match with your fingers or some other tool?

How long will you allow each match to burn?

Ensure that you are wherever you are likely to do your match spells most often (it may be over an altar, or for me, my desk). Turn off any fans in the area, close windows, and generally reduce any drafts as much as possible.

When you have an idea of how you want the little ritual to go, light about ten uncharged matches in your working area and carefully observe how they burn. Note how high the flames tend to go, how quickly the flames move along the match, in what way the wood curls when it is burned, et cetera. Carefully save these burned matches (you could also take a photo) and use them as a control group to compare against your magical matches. You may or may not notice a distinct difference between how your plain matches compare with your magical ones; my magical matches tend to burn in a corkscrew shape and the flames often reach much higher.

2. Understanding the nature of match magic

Match magic is not a big kickass sort of spell. It can be powerful and forceful, but it is more like a paintball gun than a cannon. The wood itself can only hold so much energy, and the energy is released quickly instead of through a long, steady burn. This is really more like quick fix-it Band-aid magic than anything else. Here is what I have found match magic to be appropriate for:

Motivation

“Get me through the day/this class/this meeting”

Quick fix for anxiety, although only for a short amount of time

A nudge for someone to do something

Gaining focus for a task ahead

Because the matches burn so quickly, they are also appropriate for on-the-go devotionals or to add quick power to an existing spell. Many of us will leave tea lights on an altar to empower something; if you cannot leave a tea light burning, charging and burning a match may be a sufficient substitution.

Here is one paradigm explanation for how match magic “works”: Wood is good at holding magical intent and charge. The physical item is also excellent as a focus point. As you gather power, you can store it in the match. When you intuit that you have collected enough energy for the magical task at hand, use your magical willpower to imprint your intent on the raw energy. After you ‘stamp’ your intent in to the energy, the match is now a self contained charm. However, we want the magic to move ahead of us and around us in order blaze the trail for our success. When the match is lit, the energy is rapidly released and goes on its merry way.

The fire in this spell is transformative; full of changes. It transforms our intent in to reality; it releases contained energy in to flowing energy; it converts one situation in to another.

3. Charging the matches

Do not bother using your own energy for this kind of spell; you can actually get the energy within the match quite dense, and you may end up draining yourself. Instead, call upon an external energy. If you ground with a root system, you can call upon the powers of the earth to work for you. If you can gather energy from the space around you, do that - you can also use energy stored in crystals, or whatever other method you typically use for raising spell-energy.

In this spell, your energy is the wheel, not the clay - call upon energy from something else and use your magical reservoir to shape it.

Before you begin, ensure you have a simple statement of intent. The statement is probably better off being positive instead of negative. Here are some examples:

POSITIVE:

I will get all of my homework done today

Laura will skip class today

That dog will be silent today

NEGATIVE:

I will not be sleepy

My bills will not come in the mail today

John will not call me today

Hold a single match in your hand (marked with a pencil if that is how you prefer to do it). Call energy to you and direct it in to the match. At first the energy may be very thin and in a cloud around the matchstick. Compress the energy down until it is all contained within the wood. Draw up and compress more and more energy until you feel you have gotten enough. The matchstick may seem to be glowing very brightly, if you can 'see’ energy, and if you can feel energy the matchstick may make your skin feel quite weird. Using your magical will, keep the energy within the matchstick contained. Simultaneously use your will to stamp your statement of intent in to the energy, forming it and molding it so it is programmed to your will. If you don’t get what I mean, just imagine that the matchstick is full of all this raw, smooth energy. Then mentally shout at it until you intuit that the energy is programmed.

After this, you may wish to do a sealing action (“so mote it be”). Then immediately light the match and hold it in the same way you did during your practice runs. Watch the match burn and see if you can determine how the spell will go. Blow the match out when it is time and keep or discard the charcoal and leftover wood however it feels right to you.

If you wish, call appropriate and relevant energies instead of just using whatever. Air energy is appropriate for focus and mindfulness, while Mars energy is appropriate for acts of aggression.

Because the spell is released with fire it will by nature be quick to take effect and quick to burn out. Keep that in mind while writing up your spells.

[constellystals]

Do they know ANYTHING about radfem ideology, not saying "non men" is literally step 1.

Radfems literally just say men and women THAT IS YOUR ENTIRE ISSUE W RADFEMS. Weird that you need to be reminded

“men” vs “nonmen” is literally terf rhetoric stop spreading that shit

[constellystals]

Also like... What's the alternative? This was a huge thing in India and when they didn't find out the sex of the baby before birth they snatched the new born baby from the crying exhausted mother's arms and killed it anyway.

And even if they didnt, a girl is born to a father that was ready to abort the baby solely bc its female. That man is almost definitely going to be severely abusive and oppressive out to this girl.

She will probably not get an education, made to do housework relentlessly, and married off to the first 40 year old man that comes along. And as awful as a femicide is, that life is worse than death.

“tELl mE AgaiN hOw bEinG PrOLiFe aNTi-wOMen’S rIGhTs”

Those women weren’t the reason those babies died. Scrotes were. They didn’t walk into a clinic, find out they were going to have a girl, and just decide they wanted to abort. They had no say in the matter.

“Pro life” is taking the choice away from women. That’s why it’s anti-women’s rights. That’s why pro CHOICE is a thing. The CHOICE to either be a mother, or not. It’s also clear that the “pro life” side is willing to use the subjugation and oppression of the female population as emotional manipulation. “See, THESE people are “choosing” to abort girls. Pro choice is to blame!”

[constellystals]

I don't disagree but people point out that when it comes to a sex strike (not for protection purposes) it's kind of pointless to do it if you're in a committed relationship bc pro choice women usually couple up with a pro choice man. It makes sense from a casual hook up standpoint though imo.

I swear I spent my life listening to my straight friends tell me about how sex is a chore for them, they never orgasm unless on their own or with a toy, or trying to convince themselves and me that the sex is great because their dude put his mouth on their pussy for a grand total of three minutes… 

And now that feminists are suggesting a PIV sex strive not just as an act of protest but also to protect yourself from an unwanted pregnancy that you might not safely and legally end anymore in some US states, you’d think we are suggesting women rip their own faces off and suddenly PIV sex is the very first brick of their pyramid of needs. 

What is it, really? Is it really the PIV sex? Or is it the fear of realising your dude is, in fact, just some mediocre dude who will throw a massive tantrum and/or leave you (or worse) because getting his noodle wet is more important to him than your life? 

Solidarity to my straight and non-female exclusionary bisexual sisters, but for the love of fuck please put yourself first for once. If he leaves he leaves, what’s the point of building a future with someone who cares about sex (sorry: the specific kind of sex that’s more pleasurable for him than you) more than about your health?

Okay but....this defeats the purpose of a pronoun? The entire point is to refer to something, and make it clear what you're referring to without using the noun? Using 5000 different pronouns in the same sentence literally defeats the purpose?

“They” when talking about a person’s actions, but “she” when talking about a person’s appearance. Not surprising at all.

The Signs as Lovers

Capricorn

Quick kisses when you’re not expecting it. Whispers love songs to you. Is the big spoon. Gives you their jacket when it’s cold out. Tells you that your love keeps them warm. Can’t look at you without falling in love all over again.

Aquarius

Tells you that they love you without warning. Warm hugs, soft kisses. Slow dancing in a candle lit room. Has a way of making you feel like you’re the only person who matters. Wears your favorite color on gloomy days.

Pisces

Writes poems and sonnets in your honor. Takes you to museums, says that Venus doesn’t have anything on you. Notebooks upon notebooks of romance stories where you’re the lead. Seems to sway when in your presence. Lights up when they see you.

Aries

Will tell cheesy jokes to make you smile. Massages for when you’ve had a hard day. Long nights of whispering ‘I love you’. Will always attempt to win you a stuffed animal from a carnival booth. Will tell you non-stop how much they love you.

Taurus

Lazy days in bed. Spending hours in the garden with you. Brings a bouquet of flowers to you to remind you how much they love you. Rubs your hand when holding it. Tries to be smooth but ends up saying quite plainly that they love you. Giggle fits when they realize that they are your partner.  

Gemini

Walks in the forest. Draws you in natural poses when you least expect it. Considers you their eternal muse. Can’t put the words together on how much they love you. Starry-eyed every time you pass by whether it’s the first time or the hundredth.

Cancer

Stargazing under a full moon. Walking along the beach. Silly photos with one serious kiss at the end. If given the chance they will pick you up and do a spin finished with a kiss. Tells you that you’re their favorite person in the world. Can’t stop telling people how much they love you and what a wonderful person you are.

Leo

Kisses your hand when holding it. Takes you to the most exclusive parties but always ends up avoiding the other guests to spend time with you. Can’t start a sentence about you without saying “The love of my life”. Thinks that you deserve the world, the stars, the moon, the entire universe and will attempt to give you all that an more.

Virgo

Stares at you in awe whenever you walk by. Calls you just to remind you that they love you. Plans about your future. Sings love songs without realizing it, always embarrassed when you point it out but goes back to singing anyways. Leans on you.

Libra

Comments on your beauty all the time. Cuddling on the couch. Wonders how they were lucky enough to have a partner like you. Values your input 24/7 365. Can’t imagine life without you, becomes tearful at the thought of that happening.

Scorpio

Motorcycle rides into the city. Dates at the café. Long kisses that leave you breathless. Always brushes that one strand of hair out of your face. Affectionate head bumps and soft laughter. Mischievous winks at you during the most innocent of things.

Sagittarius

Soft kisses on your forehead. Holding hands without realizing their doing it. Lovesick looks in public spaces. Love letters in hidden places. Reads poems out loud about you. Touch-starved all the time. Melts in your embrace.
