Hellenistic Course Review

In 2020, I became really interested in astrology and wanted to dive deeper into the subject. I struggled to find accessible, clear information until I stumbled upon an astrology podcast that seemed to have tons of valuable content. The host also offered a course, which I thought would be a great way to “officially��� build my knowledge. I signed up, excited to learn more.

What I didn’t realize was that the course was designed more for those who already had a solid background in astrology. I didn’t know this at the time, and when I tried to engage with the community, I quickly realized it wasn’t a welcoming space. Instead of receiving helpful feedback, I often felt mocked and dismissed for asking basic questions.

One specific moment truly crystallized the unwelcoming nature of this community. I had posted a question, including details of my personal chart, and then waited an agonizing week for my post to be approved. I was excited to finally share my thoughts and engage.

However, the moment my post went live, I immediately saw two other posts appear that seemed specifically designed to target me. These posts, asking precise questions about negative aspects in my chart, were openly critical and overtly mean-spirited. It felt less like a coincidence and more like a coordinated effort orchestrated during the approval delay, allowing them to prepare their attacks. It was crushing to realize that my genuine efforts were not only ridiculed but that my entry into the community felt weaponized against me.

There was also a girl who made fun of me openly, which was painful enough on its own. But then, it seemed like they all decided to look at my blog for a laugh. They mocked the way I worded things, picking apart my writing for amusement. It was crushing to realize that my genuine efforts were just a joke to them. I’d poured time and energy into my work, only for it to be ridiculed. It felt like a group of people were actively deciding to belittle me and my journey. That kind of behavior left me feeling completely unwelcome.

Though the course itself offered a lot of information, it also required studying ancient texts. Working with others to unpack these texts was part of the learning process. But I soon realized that many members in the community were less interested in helping newcomers and more focused on making it hard for people like me to understand. The sense of superiority and exclusivity within the group made me feel isolated.

I’ve come to understand that niche communities, especially one as specific as astrology, can attract people who are more interested in showing off their knowledge than in offering genuine support. That might work for some people, but it’s not the kind of space I want to be in. I want to be part of a community that builds people up, welcomes new voices, and creates an environment where learning and growth are celebrated.

Looking back, I regret investing so much time and money into the Hellenistic Astrology Course. Over five years of studying and writing about it felt like a waste when I was constantly dismissed and mocked by others. Instead of finding a supportive, welcoming environment, I found a group more interested in tearing others down. In essence, this experience unveiled a cliquish community characterized by a pervasive culture of gatekeeping.

But I’m grateful for this experience because it’s shown me what I don’t want. I’m ready to move on and explore something that excites me without the fear of being ridiculed. I want to be part of a community that values kindness, inclusivity, and mutual respect.

Why isn't anyone talking about the great Greta Garbo?

Oh, right—because you’re out there living your best life with friends and social plans while I’m over here… analyzing celebrity natal charts and obsessively reading biographies. Totally normal, right? :D

Image: Greta Garbo, 1931, photo by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Courtesy of Wikipedia (public domain).

She possessed an otherworldly beauty—something so unique and maddeningly elusive that no simple adjective could fully capture it. Beautiful, gorgeous, stunning—while you wouldn’t be wrong to use any of these, none truly convey the essence of her allure. There was just something about her that defied definition, impossible to confine to a box.

As I delved into her biography, I learned that she preferred a solitary life, often grappling with melancholia. She had a penchant for solitude, favored wearing men’s clothing after retiring, and lived with a quiet disregard for societal expectations.

She also had a deep aversion to school, preferred to play alone, and was a shy daydreamer—traits I found strikingly familiar from my own childhood.

Her refusal to attend social functions—and even to appear at award shows—was reportedly a source of frustration for MGM executives. Yet, they eventually realized that her absence only deepened the enigma surrounding her, enhancing the value of her presence. She was even nominated for an Oscar and chose not to attend the ceremony.

Her birth time has an AA Rodden Rating which is about as good as it gets, however I am not sure how accurate the recording of exact birth times were in the early 20th century.

She was born September 18, 1905-- the year of the Wood Snake.

OMG and 2025 is currently the year of the Wood Snake! I swear, I couldn't make up these synchronicities if I tried. According to Google AI, the Wood Snake symbolizes complexity, mystery and transformation.

Four years before her death, she told her Swedish biographer:

"I was tired of Hollywood. I did not like my work. There were many days when I had to force myself to go to the studio ... I really wanted to live another life."

The quote sparked a reflection on her North Node, and it came as little surprise to find it in Leo—a sign often associated with a path toward visibility, creative expression, and a life of bold self-actualization. Leo and Aquarius sit opposite each other on the zodiac wheel, symbolizing a dynamic interplay of individuality and collective purpose. While Leo North Nodes may be drawn toward the spotlight, Aquarius North Nodes are called to embrace authenticity and lead by example, not through performance but through genuine selfhood. In many ways, her life seemed to embody the Leo North Node ideal—a vivid contrast and complement to the Aquarian path of quiet revolution and inner truth.

She lived a life that many could only dream of. Rising from humble beginnings, she became the highest-paid star at MGM for much of her career, a testament to both her talent and perseverance. By the time of her passing, she had earned a place in cultural history, with the Washington Post in 1990 describing her as a "virtual cult figure," cementing her status as an icon whose influence transcended the silver screen.

Moon and Appearance, Pt. 8:

Virgo Risings [Libra to Pisces Moon]

I apologize they aren’t exactly even as far as all the signs go. I’ve been sitting on this post for like a month now, slowly adding to it. I don’t have it in me anymore to work on it! I hope you enjoy!

Virgo Rising/Libra Moon

⏰clockwise: Ornella Muti, Kelly Ripa, Lisa Ling, Elizabeth Banks

👃🏻🐈Okay so the cat tail theory on cardinal moons falls in line with Libra moons. The alta (nose sides) are slightly wider with a narrower columella (tip) than Cap Moons.

🎀They have such nicely shaped perfectly balanced faces; I think air moons give smaller faces. Regina George is def a Libra Moon (Rachel McAdams appears to be a Gemini Moon but the rating is a C which isn’t great but she def has the smaller face like an air moon would have!)

🐻‍❄️Idk I’m getting pretty privilege af here//I think it’s the 2nd house ruled by Venus and the Moons placement there. Moon rules body and Libra/Venus is the planet of beauty and it’s in the place of the chart where we make money. Having certain beauty placements in the right place can help a lot— a little of luck to go with the hard work+talent. Probably have had to deal with their fair share of creeps though too— there’s always a dark side to positive placements (just like there’s a bright side to negative placements) ☯️

💂🏻‍♂️Their eyebrows all vary in thickness but are on the longer side (Cardinal moon) with squared arches, the peak of which starts at the edge of the outer iris of their eyes— thinning out to a point as they extend downward and end at the temple

🍎It’s crazy how their faces are fairly sleek but the cheekbones are still higher and prominent 👌🏻 in fact they almost pop out more because the faces are thinner/more petite

🧠They def give sophisticated, intelligent vibes being ruled by Mercury and having an air moon. Likely don’t make impulsive decisions and are fairly good at keeping logic at the forefront of their brains

♈️ or the opposite bc Aries is their sister sign

Virgo Rising/Scorpio Moon

⏰clockwise: Shannen Doherty, Julie Andrews, Jean Simmons, Tallulah Bankhead

👃🏻🦂 My shorter eyebrows theory for Scorpio moons seems to pan out here. Scorp Moons def have unique eyebrows— they’re more arched and slightly thicker. They almost seem to be thicker on the inner portion (closer to the nose) and almost thin out near the ends

🧊🔥There’s something soft fiery about Scorpio Moons vibe after an elongated glance (or 2), I noticed— they’re the least likely to smile bc you want them to for sure. There’s this quiet warrior within them— they’re not gonna do what you tell them to do but they’re also not gonna necessarily make a big deal out of not doing that thing bc they realize that would take its power away//very calculated and smart

👄 all have a prominent Cupid’s bow with fairly “thicker and shorter” lips//that’s kind of the vibe with Scorpio moon— it’s like potent energy but doesn’t overstay its welcome, if that makes sense, in a physical characteristic aspect

🧊I doubt any of these women have ever been accused of being overeager— I simply mean they are very contained and know their power, and how to properly use it. Less is more is probably an unconscious idiom these folks live by

🌑They lowkey have that “not really here” vibe of a Pisces Moon but it’s more stern and almost like “ask me if you dare” vibe bc I don’t really think they miss much of anything even if they are distracted or appear distracted— did they genuinely “forget” that thing or are they testing you? You’ll never know, even if you ask.

🐟👵🏻Okay remember Grumpier Old Men, the second movie with that fiery red-haired woman that all the men wanted? She gives Scorpio Moon but in a very fiery container, like Sag rising or a chart ruler in a fire stellium but I’m getting that kind of power with these ladies

Virgo Rising/Sagittarius Moon

⏰clockwise: Lauryn Hill, Sharon Stone, Kim Carnes, Emma Watson

🔥Probably the most contained fire moons out there

🦎Idk why I get like reptilian vibes from their eyes and gaze, like the dinosaurs in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Maybe because Sag is fire so it’s hot and they live in this arid desert that is their heart? Lol idk why but I feel like these women are especially savage bc Virgo can be so nit-picky and lowkey mean, while Sagg outright dgaf so yeah idk. Obviously it won’t play out this way for everyone but that one girl you know from high school who was relentless and cold probably has this combo lmao

⛳️“What about them fckng golf shoes?!?” 👟

🩰Their inner face is very perky with the uptipped nose and the cheeks bulging out more in the frontal mid-facial area, tapering off nicely at the corner of their eyes

💄They all seem to have a less prominent/softer Cupids bow and only slightly thicker lower lip that extend outward moreso and kind of tie in with the oval face-/ like an oval if you flip it on its side

🔃They do seem to have slightly longer faces as well, I think Virgo contains the typical expansiveness of Jupiter here— or maybe it’s the square that impedes it since both Virgo/Sagg are mutable and not sister signs and thus squares to one another.

💎They have small longer faces but the forehead and chin are more narrow giving them definition in the shape of a diamond— I feel like all Virgos have smaller faces in general

🐝I’m getting extremes with them-/ like when you’re good with them, you’re really good. But when it’s bad, it’s really bad— maybe I’m just projecting my own experience with Sagg moons (and the square I shared with them via my Moon)

Virgo Rising/Capricorn Moon

⏰clockwise: Sophie Marceau, Christina Ricci, Linda Darnell, Jennifer Coolidge

👃🏻🐈Alright so my theory of cat tails on cardinal moons is playing out here— the alta (sides) are more narrow and the columella (tip) is outwardly longer than Libra Moons. Cardinal moons are a vibe FR— I ❤️ them

👄 Slightly longer and puffier bottom lip here, kind of giving a lowkey pout at rest

🚨These are the ones that always come through— reliable af

They all have these really pretty hazel eyes

Super pretty cheeks that are puffier in the upper area and then narrow but only on one side so it’s almost like an Apple slice— are these what Apple cheeks are?? Idk but their cheeks sort of end on a curve like those lemon slices on the corners of Super Mario blocks/hills that you run toward to walk up?

Virgo Rising/Aquarius Moon

⏰clockwise: Sarah Paulson, Audrey Tautou, Uma Thurman, Rondi Reed

👃🏻Prominent and wider alta ( ) that setup a display for the defined and chiseled columella. Being a fixed moon, there does seem to be a pattern with the nose— it actually has the appearance of a three-leaved clover ☘️ if the middle “leaf” of the trio were thin and came to a point at front and the outer “leaf”s in the trio were the alta+slightly visible nostrils

🍯Eyebrows hang a bit lower and tend to be slightly shorter and on the thinner side

👁️Something electrifying and attention-grabbing about their gaze here//must be that Uranus ⚡️influence

🍰Def the type to pull off shorter hairstyles and bangs probably— more masculine type cuts probably look really good on them. Being that Aqua is an air sign and thus is masculine but being in the moon offsets it especially as a female with a feminine rising sign as well (Virgo=earth=feminine). I’m thinking of that one cut where it’s shoulder length on one side and the other side is buzzed like a military cut kind of. There’s a YouTuber with it, she’s a spiritual channel I can’t remember her name!

Virgo Rising/Pisces Moon

⏰clockwise: Cybil Shephard, Sissy Spacek, Kathy Bates, Jaime King

🔪🩸 first of all, half of these women play brutal villains which is interesting with Pisces moon, as it seems to be such a wholesome and sweet placement but being ruled by Neptune means the delulu can sneak in and the perfect match of that + a certain mindset could result in misguided loyalty and obsession to the wrong things. I feel like Pisces Moons are such the sweet and sour patch kids of the zodiac.

🦇🤡Heath Ledger was a Pisces Moon and played arguably the best Joker in cinema history

🌊🌊But like they play it so well in that the root of that anger/passion is deep-seated emotion— typical of a water moon, esp pisces— making them excellent actors. Traditionally ruled by Jupiter, brings out a bit of excess of emotion in Pisces moon— similar to what you’d expect to see from personal Cancer placements. Water moons aren’t afraid either, the type to just dive in and swim in the darkness. Do not mistake these folks as meek

🎩They all seem to have higher cheekbones that create the shape for the entire face— they are the widest part of the face. The forehead is slightly wider than their perfectly rounded chins. They have really nice chins 🤔

👃🏻🌈The noses are unique in each Pisces Moon in that they don’t follow a pattern//this is a thing with mutable moons

💡Their faces at first glance just give this deep vibe— their eyes are very grabbing

🔥Jaime has zero degrees Leo on her Jupiter and zero degrees Aries on her Venus— very pure fire energy 🐠Kathy has zero degrees Cancer on her Mercury and Venus— pure water energy 🍎🍇Cybill has an Aqua stellium consisting of her Sun, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus all in her 6th house. Something with her and Jennifer almost looking super airy in a way idk how to explain it, it’s like they’re these glowing air astronauts 🦴🫕 3/4 of them have zero degrees x2– interesting if this is another pattern

Celestial Screenshots Destined For Fame, Pt. 16– Juice WRLD

Also lowkey guessing the rising sign, like I do for these celeb charts sans birth times

He passed when he was 21, during a tenth house profection year. It literally just started too with his birthday being six days prior.

I was getting the vibe his tenth house is actually ruled by Aries and he has Saturn (retrograde) there

That would make him a Cancer Rising with a night chart and this Saturn being his worst planet which would make sense having it recently activated as the tenth house profection year ruler.

I think he has Moon in the eleventh with his music.

I’ve literally been obsessed with his music the last week or so. I love all the songs. This doesn’t happen often for me with artists. I have always adored Taurus Moons and this would align with my fifth house of music since it would be opposing my 5th house Pluto(and conjunct my 11th house Mars). Since this is a fixed sign axis, this is a pattern that has remained fixed like I always find that when artists align on this axis (so either Scorpio or Taurus placements), that I will probably be super into all their music

It also got me thinking about how he must have been someone with strong words because you hear lyrics about “not making it past 21” and other spot-on stuff that ended up happening and you’re like 😳😳 especially the codeine stuff though, idk just wild.

Anyways I was thinking Moon here in the planet of community and opposing music because his lyrics are very like feelings-based and strong in expressing them/naming them. Strong emotions and vulnerability in his music, coupled with the perfect beat. It’s beautiful, I love it.

With tenth house ruled by Aries, we look to Mars in Libra for more information. However since Mars isn’t in its domicile, we look to Venus which is in a Sagittarius stellium. Still not in its home so we look to Jupiter where it sits in Pisces (finally at its domicile). But under like 3 layers his tenth house of career/reputation is tied to Pisces. Which makes so much sense with all their d r g references. And his music also has this very like flowing fish type vibe to it. Like the album cover up top, just this bright rainbow fish sailing amongst varying waves via rainbow road or something.

Pisces mixed with the Sagittarius it makes sense he speaks so much of excess in his music with both being ruled by Jupiter

If he had a tenth house Aries, that means he would have a ninth house Pisces— I’m thinking his MC would fall near Jupiter at 18 degrees because he was famous SO young (& also passed so young :()

But also with Moon, the signifier for bodily matters, exalted in Taurus— being in Venus which is under the beams, I wonder if this was enough of a maltreatment to cause his premature death?

I was just looking for signs of any overt signs of maltreatment via opposition/square from the malefics but am not seeing one… probably cause they are opposing each other 😆 I could be wrong about cancer rising

His rising could also either be an Aries/Scorpio or Capricorn/Aquarius due to that malefic opposition. Ie having his chart ruler opposed by malefic. Obviously this would change sect depending on which sign it is. But that’s a possibility given we know he passed very young yet achieved this massive level of fame and even has had albums released after his death.

I think that the Leo degree on his Saturn could have something to do with this fame after death, given Saturns nature of longstanding-ness

His tenth house has secondhand Sun influence via

1. Ruled by Aries with mars in Libra

2. Venus conjunct Sun (since Libra is not a domicile home for Mars)

Assuming he’s a Cancer Rising but I just got the vibe his tenth was ruled by Aries by feel free to dispute any of this ;)

[geographerdose]

water moon+venus

[geographerdose]

Venus square Moon with some square/opposition type Moon-Mars aspects tempered with Saturn connections is like chefs kiss of romantic relationships 👌🏻

[geographerdose]

Moon conjunct Moon especially within 15 degrees is legit best friends platonically— idk about romantically but I reconnected with an old friend (from almost 10 years ago), got her birth info and saw we are literally both Pisces Moons at 19 degrees 💕 we’re so different but we just vibe and it’s like we hadn’t seen each other in almost a decade but just picked up right where we left off, so grateful for connections like this 💟

[geographerdose]

I was going through charts of exes and the synastry they had with me , and I noticed that Moon-Mars aspects were present in all of the connections except for one. The least spicy connection of them all and the least likely to last based on that simple fact. Gotta have that spice—Moon+Mars brings the spice.

[geographerdose]

Scorpio & Cardinal Moon via Scorpion Tails & Cat Tails, Respectively

Alright so to close the loop on my Scorpio/Cardinal moons debacle— when a Scorpio holds its tail up in the air, it’s not long enough to wrap around and have a remainder of tail left that flips up like a cat does. So Cardinal moons are the tip of the cat tail that flips up when their tail is at rest hence the more prominent nose tip, and Scorpio moons are like the hanging tail that isn’t long enough to wrap around and have a tip so its shorter in length. This also kind of plays into the features—cardinal/Capricorn moons with longer tails/eyebrows+longer nose tip 🐈 and then scorp moons with their shorter but thicker features+shorter nose tip. 📝 class is over now (via Gemini rising/scorpio moon — pt. 2 of mercurial-ruled risings)

[geographerdose]

Virgo Rising [Aries-Virgo Moon]

🥸For entertainment and learning purposes only.

Virgo Rising/Aries Moon

⏰Clockwise: Zabine, Helen Hunt, Gena Rowlands, Salma Hayek

🌕8th house moons so mysterious, darker vibe+ air house so more detached and calculated

🧩The patterns that keep emerging with these though— every single one of these ladies has their chart ruler Mercury conjunct the Sun!!!

🥴Also I just realized this (@ #6 of this series) that they will all have their Moon in the same house— in this case it’s 8th house Moon

🌎 They’re so composed, elegant and well-spoken. They’ve perfected this balance of being reserved yet down-to-earth and wanting to make the other person they’re interacting with comfortable at the same time. Probably have really good boundaries. They’re so warm.

🧯It’s crazy cause fire moons would typically be fiery but I think having it in the 8th house subdues it considerably. Salma is probably the most fiery with her Venus+Mars in Leo in addition to the Aries Moon

▪️They sort of have smaller/petite/slender faces like Aqua Moons kind of the opposite of Cancer Moons

👀👁️ The eyes seem to be a downturned shape. I actually see Nine of Wands when I look at them— like Virgo Rising is the outer fence consisting of sticks in the ground, all lined up evenly in a row as a front defense, while their Aries Moon burns in the heart— I’m seeing The Light Seer’s Tarot Deck Nine of Wands. They aren’t defensive but they’re not unprepared for a fight/argument should they need to defend themselves— and will likely not be empty-handed should that happen— giving like sneaky but only in a self-protective way and not of nefarious intention. They definitely are open to trust others and give them the benefit of the doubt but are not afraid to fight, if needed, I feel— again, strong boundaries here

👄Their thinner lip on top makes the larger bottom one more prominent— lowkey does a sort of natural pout at rest

👃🏻Moons 💯 represent the symbols via the nose. Their nose tips look like the ♈️ symbol (and it’s different than ♑️ bc it’s narrower)

👂🏻Mercurial risings love their earrings 💍

🐶🐔Animal lovers!! I watched an interview with Salma and she had like 9 dogs at the time 🤣 she picks them up on the road and gives them homes 🥺 Helen has/had chickens! Gena was a supporter of animal rights and wrote a letter to stop the Carson & Barnes circus in Wisconsin. 🎪 Zabine is a Russian star and has no info about her in our American internet waters

👯Gena & Helen both have Gemini stelliums. Helen has Sun conjunct her MC too

Virgo Risings/Taurus Moon

⏰Clockwise: Michelle Kwan, Helen Hayes, Nicole Scherzinger, Janet Gaynor

🌕9th house moons so otherworldly and well-spoken/traveled vibes. Also our spiritual girlies but not necessarily loud about it. Probably quite naturally optimistic as well. Very wise, through experience.

☕️These ladies have very dark eyes, Virgo influence mixed with an earth moon could do this. Simply a hypothesis 🧪

💀🏴‍☠️ but also their eyes are just very dark, almost like what I’d expect from a Scorpio Moon. This rising+moon combo is probably actually the scariest? Gives Scorpio energy/Pluto energy vibes— so wild how energy actually plays out— it’s just the eyes bro 😱 😵

🤫With the mercurial influence, it’s extra intimidating bc you know they’re smarter than you and someone dark+smart is terrrifying. I’m thinking of the serial killer villain in Hush— 🎬about a deaf woman who lives in the remote woods and is targeted by a murderer whose choice of weapon is a bow+arrow— and showcases his count— whom shows up to steal+savor a seemingly fish in the barrel type scenario only to be showed up and outdone by a woman who was at a few disadvantages from the start. A battle won after a long and difficult journey— she makes it out alive and the cat is unharmed. 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 🐈 An ending I wish I’d see more of. These women are def fighters. Probably not one to instigate it but definitely one to finish it, if you dare to test them.

🪩I feel like their eyes and lips are larger with nicely shaped noses to embody a face that very much resembles classical beauty standards. Their faces seem to be naturally wider at the top (showcasing the eyes) and sort of narrow out at the chin— their perfectly rounded chin, not too long or short

🪭 I love their eyebrows— the medium side of thinner and arch perfectly at the pupil and end only where the “crinkle” ends— not like an actual crinkle but just like 2-3 mm? past where their eyes end. It frames their haunting eyes priming them to trap you in. Let’s be honest, you want to get trapped ;)

🎃💀Simply side note and no shade at all toward this gorgeous and talented woman— but the Janet Gaynor pic, I almost didn’t grab it bc it spooked me out. Something about it is haunted, no? It’s really giving Mars opposite/square Pluto vibes with the dark eyes and hauntingly black background. 🐙 It reminds me of that Bojack episode where he opens the door and the nothingness oozes in threatening tentacles ready to snag his ankle and pull him in with the slight hook of its wrist— pulling him into utter nothingness forever. The shirt gives me Pennywise costars Insidious vibes🎪. Something about old school pictures are lowkey terrifying always though. Death reversed card bc that void is coming for you whether you like it or not. Which is funny bc Scorpio rules Death and opposite of it (reverse) would be Taurus 🌕

👺🎠The thing with the Gloria Gaynor pic is that she does look so innocent and sweet and kind but like she’s not gonna just give it to you, you have to work for it. Dualities here with these folks— a challenge that differs in its more earthly vibe than a more fiery one. She has her chart ruler Mercury trining Pluto conjunct the Sun— now the spooky rant makes sense 😆 but no for real— older pics are creepy. Period.

Virgo Risings/Gemini Moon

⏰Clockwise: Lauren Graham, Doris Day, Rue McClanahan, Brooke Shields

🌕10th house Moon so these are the career-focused women, typically successful and very hard workers; probably very reputation aware+wise. Also the types to intimidate men quite easily, similar to 1st house Mars women— they genuinely don’t need you. I think it would take a very strong and secure man to snag one of these women.

📚With Mercury ruling both the ascendant and moon, they are extra shiny and blessed bc Mercury beauty is a serious thing and their eyes will always be the most captivating, period. It’s their depth and intelligence mixed with their overt physical beauty that brings them success.

OG beauty+brains🧠💄

👁️The eyes all have this half 🌙 crinkled to perfect tips on both ends— very symmetrical and even— cat eyes (cat-like reflexes) like the exact shape of the leading emoticon here

👃🏻They have the moon nose too— the one where that one cartoon witch wiggles it (similar to Leo rising+moon)— they sort of point upward but in a cute way. Air moon vibe noses, very enviable in their sleekness

💨Heavy air in charts are typically well-liked due to their social awareness and camaraderie conformism— social chameleons. Ok remember Frank Underwood’s right hand guy Doug Stamper? He’s so valuable in that position bc of his ability to know just what the public want to hear + how to manipulate that information. Enough social awareness but with tempered emotions due to the air influence— making them very calculating and very powerful. High emotional intelligence without being held back by emotions.

Virgo Rising/Cancer Moon

⏰Clockwise: Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Olsen, Olivia Newton-John, Nicole Ritchie

🌕11th house Moon so definitely the type to hold friends in very high importance, likely the friend others feel comfortable sharing with, could be seen as the softer, more emotional friend too but pretty hidden bc this is an air house. Wouldn’t necessarily realize how sensitive they truly are

🥹🎀Cancer Moon gives them big doey eyes and as I said in a previous post, Cardinal moon noses are a vibe— they’re the curve in a cat tail at rest

🎻The longer features above the eyes as well (since a cat tail is longer than a scorpion tail—pt. 2 Gemini risings post) as well with longer, thinner eyebrows

▫️Very dainty ears

🔹🔹Noticed they all have earrings as well. This is a very common thing amongst the mercurial risings—Gemini + Virgo risings. Also in Gemini/Virgo moon as well

🧸I really like how the plush touch of cancer moon in the checks here is sort of elongated as well— they’re remind me of cap rising faces with moon influence. I think earth risings gives really good bone structure esp with cancer influence on moon or ascendant

♍️Their faces are so small which is funny bc isn’t Virgo like the largest constellation?

👔I feel like this could be one of the most “put together” Cancer placements with the mercurial influence/built-in detachment tool

Virgo Rising/Leo Moon

⏰Clockwise: Loretta Lynn, Shelley Long, Charlize Theron, Renée Zellweger

🌕12th house Moon so psychic af, definitely keep their emotions hidden but this is a water house and having your moon here, I imagine, is difficult. Possibly expressing emotions just doesn’t come easy for you and may choose to just allow for a misunderstanding instead of actually be vulnerable

👃🏻Leo Moons and how the Leo symbol starts with a circle and then swoops upward, in a large curve to the right before ending on another smaller swoop up and backward? That’s how their noses were made. You can see the point and then the backward trajectory of its substance— it’s like idk how noses are typically made but that’s how these ones were made. 🏭

🪩Leo Moons always have this radiant shine to them, but it’s definitely more on the radiant vs matte side that you see with Cancer Moons. They just ✨ shine. Like I bet Leo Moons are probably top 3 Moons to make it big in Hollywood.

🌕Cancer Moons seem to have a softer bone structure hence the Moon influence but Leo Moons have sort of more pronounced bone structure— sharper but not sharp— sort of like how the Suns rays emit in straight lines as they shine in through windows. Notice the Moon doesn’t do that, it’s more of just like soft and blended, no lines

👀🍊The eyes capture you in a more “alive+party+party on the yacht during the day” way than the more “subdued+mysterious+classy exclusive nighttime cruise ship” eyes of Cancer Moons. Think orange juice vs like tea+milk/bubble tea.

🌕☀️I keep comparing the two Moons bc they’re both ruled by the luminaries

👄 I feel like fire moons always have larger, more luscious lips

🐛Eyebrows seem to be on the longer+thinner spectrum, similar to Cap Moons

👻🎥I remember watching Ghost Adventures and seeing Loretta Lynn’s estate on there— she continued to live on this haunted-ass land for years/decades. 12th house Moons have this innate understanding of the spiritual world without necessarily being taught— they aren’t ones to deny or get scared or even get too taken away with spiritual matters— likely to remain more grounded than, say, a Pisces Moon.

Virgo Rising/Virgo Moon

⏰Clockwise: Shirley MacLaine, Madonna, Bella Hadid, Dolly Parton

🌕1st house Moons you would typically think very feminine and soft but that is hardly the case with these women. They all have a very strong presence and are the exact opposite of how you might imagine them to show up. Every one of them are naturally elegant+composed+well-spoken with their chart ruler being Mercury— very sharp, quick and not one to miss anything. They are actually quite fierce and fiery but in a mental kind of way. They can run circles around you but are so poised, you won’t even realize it until after they so elegantly excuse themselves from your presence.

🍦The Moon bringing a softness to the face but the chart ruler is moreso important in how this plays out individually. I think this is the case with any 1st house Moon bc the nature of it is adaptable.

🌈Being mutable rising and Moon, again, is the hardest to note discernible patterns in appearance but ultimately comes down to their energy— which I feel is expressed via their chart ruler degree the most

🌴They all do seem to be blessed with perfectly shaped lips 👄 literally like the emoticon and their eyes are sort of the main header noticed at first glance. They exude a more air beauty but with a stable, steady foundation being in earth. They’re like literal forest nymphs

🥎 With Shirley, her chart ruler is an Aries degree: she actually played for a boys baseball team while younger— earning the nickname “Powerhouse” for her many home runs— Aries being a more masculine degree sort of overtakes what typical feminity Moon in the first wants to naturally exude.

🦁With Madonna, her chart ruler is at a Leo degree aka fire degree and thus more masculine as well— thus bringing those qualities of leadership, frontrunner and spotlight magnet to the front of her personality more. Pluto within 5 degrees of her chart ruler + her Moon applying to both malefics Mars+Saturn in a grand Earth trine truly makes her a force to be reckoned with. She’s very unique if you’ve ever watched her interviews and she very much sets her own style.

🎎With Dolly Parton, her chart ruler is in Capricorn at a Gemini degree (another masculine degree). She is literally the epitome of class and authenticity— truly just a beautiful person inside and out— while maintaining strong boundaries and a flawless reputation bc of this. Mercury ruling both the first and emotional self— in a mercurial degree— in the classy sign of Capricorn, this is really no surprise.

🪆Bella’s chart ruler is zero degrees Libra but Libra is masculine bc it’s air so I find it interesting that every single one of these ladies has masculine degrees on their chart ruler while they have that feminine Moon sitting in their first house. I’ve noticed that charts tend to make up what they lack or try to balance energy out via the degrees. Ex) someone lacking fire+air in their chart may have a lot of fire+air degrees. Bella has an exact trine from Aqua Uranus to her chart ruler Mercury in Libra— she’s so mesmerizing, quick and interesting in her interviews. Gives sort of Neptune vibes but with the electricity of Uranus

🔮🎱With all of them, though, there is sort of mystery to them— they can stand strong in their femininity yet refuse to take any of your shit. They embody that quote “class/poise is telling someone to go to hell in a way that they look forward to the ride”

How I feel every solar return year— Ope this is my year!

[geographerdose]

Attraction Hypotenuse: I feel like whatever sign is opposite your chart ruler, especially if you have planet(s) in that sign, you probably find yourself just wanting to STARE at them forever. Moreso than the sign opposite your Rising IMO. Honestly I’m far more drawn to Virgos than Caps (as a Cancer Rising/Pisces Moon w. Virgo Mercury).

🌅I feel like it’s moreso toward Sun, Mars, and Rising if you’re into men snd then Venus, Moon and Rising if you’re into women. I’m going off of the dichotomy of traditional astrology and the yin-yang thing— I am in no way trying to exclude non-binary individuals— just take what resonates. A lot of concepts in traditional astrology are derived from hot/cold, black/white, bitter/sweet type logic, which suits my black/white brain well—

👔 i’m just super drawn to how Virgo men look and then find myself being fascinated with them, wanting to learn more and basically just wanting to unapologetically stare at their cute faces forever until I get sick of them (never). Like the appearance is what draws you in, and their energy is what makes you stay.

⚠️ The sign in the parentheses below is the sign you would ostensibly be super into, at least their appearance, according to this hypothesis. Strictly appearance. Maybe energy too. Idk depends on how shallow you are?? 😂

🦂🐏Aries/Scorpio Risings—> Mars in Aries (Libra is your eye sponge), Mars in Taurus (Scorpio), Mars in Gemini (Sagittarius), Mars in Cancer (Capricorn), Mars in Leo (Aquarius) and Mars in Virgo (Pisces). If you have Mars in Libra, it will be Aries, etc. You can swap the two bc the sister/opposite signs always remain the same.

🐂⚖️Taurus/Libra Risings—> Venus in Aries (Libra are prob super attractive to you?), Venus in Taurus (Scorpio), Venus in Gemini (Sagg), Venus in Cancer (Cap), Venus in Leo (Aqua), and Venus in Virgo (Pisces). You might find Venus in Virgo women very beautiful but also women with Venus-Mercury aspects.

👯📖Gemini/Virgo Risings —> Mercury in Libra (Aries), Mercury in Scorpio (Taurus), Mercury in Sagittarius (Gemini), Mercury in Capricorn (Cancer— you 3 of cups mf), Mercury in Aquarius (Leo) and Mercury in Pisces (Virgo). Mercury-Saturn aspects could be something you’re drawn to in those you find attractive if you have Mercury in Cap/Aqua.

🌕Cancer Risings —> Moon in Aries (Libra), Moon in Taurus (Scorpio), Moon in Gemini (Sagittarius), Moon in Cancer (Capricorn), Moon in Leo (Aquarius), Moon in Virgo (Pisces). So like if you have Moon in Virgo, you’d be really into Venus in Pisces women if into women OR Men with Mars in Pisces. Do I make sense?

🌞🕶️Leo Risings —> Sun in Libra (Aries), Sun in Scorpio (Taurus), Sun in Sagg (Gemini), Sun in Capricorn (Cancer), Sun in Aqua (Leo), Sun in Pisces (Virgo). If you’re into women, and you’re a Leo Rising with Sun in Gemini— maybe you really like the look of those with Sagg Moon/Venus/Rising

🐴🐠Sagittarius/Pisces Rising —> Jupiter in Aries (Libras watch outtt 👀😍😍), Jupiter in Taurus (Scorpio), Jupiter in Gemini (Sagittarius), Jupiter in Cancer (Capricorn), Jupiter in Leo (Aquarius) and Jupiter in Virgo (Pisces).

🐐🌊Capricorn/Aquarius Risings —> Saturn in Libra (Aries), Saturn in Scorpio (Taurus), Saturn in Sagittarius (Gemini), Saturn in Capricorn (Cancer), Saturn in Aquarius (Leo) and Saturn in Pisces (Virgo). I think that the planets should be considered too bc I personally feel energy of the planets moreso than the signs when meeting people. So for example— you have Saturn in Pisces and like women? Moon in Virgo women will light your fire but also women with MOON-MERCURY aspects.

Reservoir Dogs Fictional Character Tarot Notes

⚠️ ⚠️CONTAINS SPOILERS!! Read at your own risk ⚠️⚠️

I forgot Mr. Brown. 😬

Mr. Pink: Page of Pentacles (R), 4 of Pentacles and Queen of Swords (R). He cares about money and only money. Himself and only himself. He’s cheap and refuses to tip, despite making a valid point— it’s utterly insensitive toward waitresses worldwide and they are the ones that suffer so until the world changes, just cough up the $1 you cheap bastard. He entirely lacks compassion and empathy but he’s not without reason. Nonetheless, he is the only one who gets away alive and with the loot— demonstrating that lack of compassion and ruthless pragmatism pays off. He’s a smart little weasel who just hides until the chaos subsides. He’s adamant about not sharing his real name with anyone and chastises Mr. White for doing so to an actual dying man. He actually tries to get Mr. White to abandon post with him and take off with the loot but being the man with integrity that Mr. White is, he sticks to the original plan and does not abandon his team. Mr. Pink does have emotion unlike Mr. Blonde but it’s entirely selfishly motivated— he only wants to get away with his money so he can not tip.

Mr. White: King of Cups + Knight of Pentacles + 7 of Wands. This guy is a senior criminal— he’s stable, he’s been around the block, he can be cool but if you shoot him in a dream, you better apologize. At initial glance, he might come off a bit harsh and dry but underneath it all, he’s a big softie. Hes really the only one that shows any compassion toward Mr. Orange after he gets shot, and he arguably died defending him. Despite that hidden softness is a solid pragmatism in which he runs upon. He knows he can’t bring Mr. Orange to the hospital without endangering himself and everyone else involved but goes out of his way to comfort the poor guy, even combing his hair for him while he holds him. 🥹 He should have dropped the poor guy off at a hospital but it’s a movie so. The pragmatism took over. I think his soft spot for Mr. Orange is due to his junior status as a career criminal— he sees the capability in him and wants to help guide him, take him under his wing so to speak— protect him. He’s such a freaking sweetheart. I mean, unless you’re a cop but it seems as if to be a career criminal in the 90s, you have to have an unbridled rage + hostility toward law enforcement. He really is a guy you want on your side and is very well-rounded. Even the weasel Mr. Pink trusts him enough to tell him he got away with the diamonds— he has everyone’s respect.

Mr. Blonde: Magician (R), 7 of Swords, King of Swords (R). Socipaaaath. He takes the cop hostage solely to torture the poor guy and to get brownie points with his team of career criminals. Upon his first meeting with Joe + Eddie after getting out of prison, they offer him a legit job that pays well in which he will never have to even actually work and he’s itching to “get out and do some real work”. This speaks a lot to his motivation— it’s not solely money like it is with Mr. Pink. I think the man genuinely enjoys chaos, violence and inflicting pain. He’s quite savvy and gets away— probably due to the fact he is a sociopath lacks emotion. He is actually kind of good at manipulating others with this bc he seems to be quite emotionally intelligent— he just doesn’t care about others unless they will serve him a purpose in the future. (Fun fact: Michael Madsen almost didn’t accept the role bc he didn’t want to be killed by Tim Roth.)

Mr. Orange: Judgement (R), Page of Swords, 9 of Pentacles. He’s an undercover cop. He is very intelligent and flexible with the unexpected. He maintains his cover until the bitter end before coming clean to Mr. White, whom dies shortly after. Other than that, he is actually successful in never getting discovered. The acting capacity of Tim Roth though to differentiate that guilt + emotional pain from betraying this man who had his back, from the nearly constant physical pain experienced for 2/3rds of the movie is impressive. He puts effort and is successful in nailing his cover story to make it seem as natural as possible, fooling these seasoned criminals.

Nice Guy Eddie: King of Wands, 3 of Pentacles, 5 of Wands. Def more fiery than his airy, seemingly detached from emotion father but still maintains a level head during chaos. Sure, he gets a little excited and worked up but his mind remains clear. Hes not for senseless violence either, pointing out torturing the cop will elicit nothing, likely not even truth. Still young though and not immune to goofing off and play fighting but knows when to be serious. He loves his dad and doesn’t hesitate for a minute to protect him in the final Mr. White-Nice Guy Eddie-Joe triad standoff. He seems to be quite competent as the mid-manager of his father’s criminal organization— he takes it seriously and doesn’t slack off just bc his dad is the boss.

Joe Cabot: Emperor, King of Swords, 10 of Pentacles. I know it seems like the cheap, easy characterization of the overt leader but he really encompasses the unbiased, fair and decisiveness of these potent cards. He’s very charismatic and stern— making his acceptance of you that much more meaningful. He definitely lacks the watery/nurturing energy that Mr. White possesses but that is likely how he has been so successful and remained successful. Emotional entanglements only seem to harm the bottom line and complicate things— something Mr. Pink fully understands and something Mr. Blue never had to worry about. Yes, he is very loyal and is a great man to have on your side— someone’s respect you want to earn + keep— but don’t come to him looking for a shoulder to cry on and don’t you dare betray him. His illicit business is a well-run machine and he has reached financial fulfillment— and likely emotional fulfillment due to the respect he has from those who work for him and with him. Elk energy.

Mr. Blue: Hermit + Hanged Man energy. A man of few words. He’s quite enigmatic— we never see him again after the initial breakfast scene and learn he died in the heist. The actor’s real life was actually more interesting than his character — the youngest ever inmate at San Quentin, where he served five years. He met Danny Trejo while serving at Folsom State Prison. He actually helped launch Trejo’s career by getting him a part in Runaway Train, of which he wrote the screenplay. He published a novel while still in prison— of which Dustin Hoffman purchased the film rights! He also wrote the original novel and screenplay for Animal Farm. The cops actually put a tracking device on his car to catch his crimes running a drug ring but were surprised when he led them to a real life bank heist! He later escaped from a work farm prison. The guy was a badass but not because of his crimes— because he completely turned his life around after discovering his passion for writing— after a very rough start in life. He even stated that his previously committed crimes were done out of necessity and now that he could make a living writing, he no longer felt the need to commit crimes.

“Tough love” doesn’t really work on water-heavy people. You’re likely to get a verbal lashing followed by being swiftly cut off. Specifically water risings+moon though.
