Had a really rough start to my day and was looking to clear my head outside of my apartment and I look up and a deer is standing directly across from me.

Rahuvians always have striking eyes

[starmosaics]

There’s certain people I’ve met that when I think about them I get really sorrowful. Like so much emotion washes over me when I think about them or see them in public and it’ll be people I’ve had very few conversations with or people I barely know. Maybe my soul recognizes them? I’m not sure.

I, a 12H Sun am struggling to be above water right now

[starmosaics]

The world is in such a bad place and I understand people have their own stuff going on in their personal lives, but right now is not the time to be selfish and I feel like the humans have become so desensitized to what goes on around them that they don’t have time to show up for others who are also struggling. How can you expect people to show up for you when you don’t make time to show up for others?

Although I’m saddened with everything going on, I am more enraged than anything. A group of people trying to give resources to Palestinians who are facing the utmost inhumane treatment got detained, Trump is illegally sending national guards to states to quite literally beat up and taunt protesters who are fighting against these issues, people are being taken out of their homes, people can’t find jobs, people don’t have access to affordable healthcare, and the list goes on.

Personally, it’s hard to separate these world issues with my own personal struggles because even if I am physically not in danger, they still affect me and my loved ones; even people I don’t know I still care about because human rights are being toyed with which morally doesn’t sit right with me. I just wish people cared more and would set aside the possibility of discomfort to create a better place for everyone so living wasn’t always on the means of survival. Choosing to do nothing and remaining complacent will continue to kill those around us until something is done about it.

[starmosaics]

In response to a personal message I received:

Moon women are importantly different from Moon men.

The most common trope for Moon nakshatra women is being a “caged bird.” They feel trapped in a life that was chosen for them. This cage can be a place, a family, a relationship, or the constant pressure to be what others expect. They are told to behave, to be quiet, to make others comfortable and follow along with the way things have always been. When they try to express themselves, they are shut down or ignored. When they try to venture out, they are called irresponsible and reckless.

What makes it worse is that they are often admired. People call them beautiful or special, but never ask what they actually want. They are watched closely, but never understood. The attention becomes another part of the cage. They feel like their life is being performed for someone else, and eventually it just becomes too suffocating to put up with.

Their rebellion starts in small ways. They think about leaving. They break little rules. They imagine a different life. Eventually that isn’t enough, and they really go for it by reinventing themselves. For this, they are called selfish or unstable, and people begin to mourn the person they used to be in the cage. No one sees that they are trying to survive. They are not acting out. They are trying to breathe, and people won’t let them.

Freedom comes when the cage breaks. Sometimes they escape. Sometimes everything collapses. What matters is that they finally get to choose. They leave behind the version of themselves that was orchestrated by others, and even if they don’t fully know who they are yet, they’ve at least made an effort to find out. Even if it costs them everything, they would rather live in the light than stay trapped in the dark.

Note that this is different from the common Venus trope of feeling like you are constantly having to run away or fight.

[starmosaics]

How women influenced by different planets act in one-on-one relationships

Platonic, familial and/or romantic. Based on my own observations and traditional associations💕 planetary influence is present when a native has one or more nakshatras ruled by that planet in their big three(moon, ascendant, sun). If that or any other planet is conjunct sun, moon or ascendant in the chart, then it also adds its influence, but to a much lesser degree. I'd advise to read for your moon, but as always, use discernment and and do not take this information at face value.

Sun women

Krittika, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha

The women ruled by the Sun are often seen as confident, self-possesed, bright, expressive and measured.

The Sun is well-known to be a masculine planet, that does not make sun-ruled women any less worthy in their femininity.

Sun women might be surrounded by a lot of male energy in younger years. It could have been positive or negative but all in all, they're familiar and quite comfortable with it. I don't mean they were plagued by admirers, I moreso mean they had a father figure, uncles, brothers/male cousins(usually older), male friends around them. I might be wrong but I've seen this so much in real life and in art. If that's not the case, then they can fit in and hold their own in a group of men. It's true that they're not phased by trying to be more masculine themselves(like jupiter women do sometimes) or to completely lean into traditional femininity(like moon women). They usually get love and support from men that have doubted them at first.

That leaves sun girls with an abundance of masculine energy absorbed in themselves. In one-on-one relationships they enjoy a level of independence but they value loyalty immensely. They build relationships on certain rules that come from their personal values. They look for a partner in crime and an understanding confidante more than anything else.

That's why saturn-ruled people are best for them, along with other sun-ruled individuals. Ruled by the planet of dedication and longevity, Saturn dominants understand their detachment and fixed nature, and provide the cold, hard structure for their self-expression.

Their energy is not for abuse though. They are more vulnerable and sensitive than most realize. As they are women influenced by a very masculine planet, they might feel like they're giving too much sometimes, like they're being taken for granted. As Saturn is the planet that never takes anything for granted and works for its rewards, it is not going to discard Sun's warm and "life-giving" nature. Moreover, it is going to appreciate it, respect it and try to keep up with it as best as it can. Saturn's cool and careful nature is soothing to Sun women, making them feel safe to lean into their individuality with more confidence while prividing the essential balance for a full existence.

Moon women

Rohini, Hasta, Shravana

Moon women have a simplicity about them. Traditionally a feminine planet, moon is considered to be a soft, smooth and nurturing influence.

Moon women are easy to recognize. Moon is probably the most dependant planet. They are passive in their demeanor and easily absorb influence. They often have a group of people around them, if not a group, then at least or not two, just because. That can be explained by moon's receptive but also giving nature, that gives back the smoothed, mixed essence of what it has recieved that is easily digestible. But they don't have that energy within them. They can be very accomodating while not initiating anything at all. If they do initiate, it's something similar to what the other person has initiated.

So moon thrives on dependancy. They might enjoy groups, because that way their passivity and receptivity is not held against them, and they might feel like they contribute more that way. In one-on-one relationships, they are very easy and simple, but might become stressed and on edge. Moon rules masses and the subconcious, so they need an energetically abundant planet that does not mind being drained.

Moon is, in its essence, is vampiric, so they like Sun people. They might be quite comfortable around Jupiter people, and sometimes, with Venus people(the Shravana- Purva Ashadha pairing works particularly well).

Mercury women

Ashlesha, Jyeshta, Revati

Mercury is the planet of integration and manipulation, and women ruled by it are often multi-faceted, containing the potential for adapting and the willingness to to often do so.

Mercury can be described as the "hermaphrodite" sometimes, especially Revati nakshatra. Due to this highly analytical and adaptible nature, mercury women have the ability to morph themselves into different roles, depending on who they are interacting with. Their feminine energy is based on receiving and then skillfully using whatever is given to it. Mercury is the planet that is quite different in all three of its nakshatra stages. Ashlesha, Jyeshta and Revati all have different feminine qualities, due to the three stages that they wrap up being different from each other. Venus nakshatras are different from each other too, but to a lesser degree. What all mercury nakshatras do have in common is sensitivity and skill. They change and adapt to various envirmonments, and their resourcefulness is seemingly limitless.

In one-on-one relationships they need people who can handle that "manipulative" and "nervous" nature. All yoni consorts of mercury nakshatras(Punarvasu, Anuradha, Bharani) have a theme of passivity, they all want and need that "manipulative" energy. Similarly, Mercury women themselves can thrive with people who are energetically stable/abundant but want to move and adapt. Since Mercury women have a need for stimulation and variety, they maintain relationships with people who they don't find boring AND can provide loyalty. There is no single planetary energy that is generally compatible with Mercury people, but Venus and Mercury are traditionally friends, and Venus also heals Mercury. The best example of this is Revati and Bharani(elephant yonis), but other combinations can be compatible too(except Ashlesha and Purva Phalguni, due to them being enemy yonis).

Venus women

Bharani, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha

Venus_ the planet of beauty, sensuality and love is a well-known feminine force that is almost synonymous with the word.

Venus women are, before anything, choosy and exclusive. Their taste is very specific and particular, and whatever is "theirs", is theirs completely. Despite the outward serenity and composure, their internal nature is very fierce and even ruthless. That discriminating nature extends to everything in their life, where they have to be clear about the dividing lines of everything that they deem worthy, and everything else that they don't. There is also an inner drive to attain what they want/need/desire/love.

Their views on one-on-one relationships are unique, and they have very high standards, along with an attentive and giving nature. A lot of those relationships might have left them dissapointed. They seek a balanced give and take in any 1-1 bond. They might even blame themselves for not choosing correctly, since they're already very careful. They mainly want loyalty and support. As always, those relationships have to fulfill their personal desires. Someone considerate, attentive, and skilled is best for them.

There is no single planet type that will fulfill all three Venus nakshatras and most of their natives, but generally, Mercury people have what it takes to impress and keep them. They share a discriminating nature, but while Venus women are energetically abundant, loving and often passive(on 1-1), Mercury is actively "manipulative" and morphing into whatever Venus desires. The best version of this is Bharani and Revati(elephant yonis). Purva Phalguni feels best with Magha(rat yonis) and most likely will not get along with Mercurial Ashlesha(enemy cat yoni). Purva Ashadha is best with Shravana(vanar yonis). All Venusian lunar mansions are best with their uniquely preffered nakshatras. Besides them, they might form friendships with Ketu, Sun, Jupiter or Saturn nakshatras (with the exlusion of Purva Ashadha- Krittika/Pushya, Bharani-P.Bhadrapada and Purva Phalguni-Punarvasu pairs).

Mars women

Mrigashira, Chitra, Dhanishta

Mars_ the warrior planet that grants protection has been a symbol of masculinity since ancient times. That coorelation, although undeniable, does not exactly encompass the whole essence of that force, especially while considering women influenced by it.

Mars rules the energetic output_ how we spend our energy and life force. In many ways, Mars women, being the passive/feminine vessels for that triggering energy, are expressive and engaging. But unlike Mercury, that expression is geared towards the physical body. Unlike Venus, they do not have any inner discriminatory preferences that might make them that choosy. Their expression is very outward and shown on the surface, so while they can be confrontational or agitating with how they behave, they do it for protection, because that it their only mechanism of doing so.

Their heated but inwardly quite gentle nature can make them susceptible to unnecessary drainage. That's why they're another planet type that needs a giving person in 1-1 relationships. With them, that person has to not only give, but have a true consideration of their sensitivity.

Jupiter people are famously best for these women. Jupiter natives can give their excess energy to them and ensure that their vulnerabilities are not abused. The two latter Mars nakshatras both have Jupiter nakshatras as yoni consorts and Mrigashira's yoni consort is Rohini_ a fixed but soft-natured nakshatra.

Jupiter women

Punarvasu, Vishakha, Purva Bhadrapada

Women ruled by the great benefic, the planet of greatness, plenty and godhood can be big personalities. Jupiter has seemingly infinite energy that wants to give without end, and often, they do.

Jupiter women have a very enthusiastic, almost aggressive niceness about them. They might have been surrounded and influenced by male energy since their early life like Sun women, but their true feminine power comes from being open while giving and receiving, especially when around individuals who they think need their "help" the most.

Jupiter women are the one planet type that feel the best in groups, even moreso than lunar women, and unlike them, since Jupiter wants to give to all, they might feel very uncomfortable in 1-1 relationships. That being said, they're not exactly opposed to the idea of it.

They will feel best with heated and draining planets, especially Mars. Mars can take Jupiter's abundant energy and use it to build and protect. They're famously a good pair, but other planet types can be just as compatible with Jupiter. Ketu people also have a desire to take Jupiter's energy but unlike Mars, they won't drain it to use it outwardly, instead, they'll absorb the energy completely and integrate it into their spiritual essence. The exception would be Punarvasu(Cat yoni) and Magha(Rat yoni), because of enmity between yoni animals.

Besides them, Punarvasu nakshatra in particular will get along with Ashleshas, a Mercury nakshatra, due to them being yoni consorts (cat yonis).

Saturn women

Pushya, Anuradha, Uttara Bhadrapada

The cold planet of control and restraint is a passive but tough and unbreakable force. Saturn women find their femininity in stillness and silent, but resilient passivity.

Their strength is tested and it gains more layers through time. This kind of energy might become impossible to intimidate, so many might feel that Saturn women are never phased by life in general. More reactive or moldable people might distance themselves from them, even though on paper Saturn women are easy to like.

They find too much flux and chaos unbearable. Saturn's femininity is all about limiting and crystalizing whatever it receives, so the more stable that energy, the better Saturn women might manage in binding it, even though they can restrain and control any type of energy, no matter how messy.

Saturn ruled women might have dealt with a harsh, limiting, authoritative feminine energy in their younger years. They have learned how to manage themselves in various complicated situations. What they seek in 1-1 relationships is trust and loyalty, not too unlike Sun women. Saturn people are best with Sun people. Sun's warm influence will give their structure a heart and a "purpose". Sun is the planet that seeks out the cold, restraining influence of Saturn that matches its own stability and self-possession.

Since these women are the feminine variation of Saturnian energy, they might be extremely passive and unwilling to start anything themselves, but after they have something to hold onto, they can become actively bossy.

The similarly cold but also adaptable and changeable nature of Mercury might also be an easy and natural match for Saturn women. This pairing might be best in platonic or familial relationships, but the Anuradha-Jyeshta pair(rabbit yonis) is perfect in romantic couples too.

Rahu women

Ardra, Swati, Shatabhisha.

The north node of the moon, the dragon's/serpent's head is a shadow planet and only one half of the opposition that makes up the destiny of a person. The nodes are dependant on each other, and both of them are dependant on the moon. Even this fact gives them a very different kind of quality and essence. So, women ruled by them are a distinctive and very draining group of force.

Rahu women are the personifications of the illusion. For them it is easy to see and identify, to box and to define and label. They are adaptable, responsive, cerebral. There is a certain numb neutrality about them. They are very aware of and immersed in the material world. They can often become bored or overwhelmed by it. It is not unknown that Rahu ruled individuals might be prone to nervousness and anxiety.

Rahu women are easily susceptible to all kinds of influences, just because they absorb and then project everything around them. They can adopt behaviors from other people without noticing, but unlike Moon women(who also do this) they do not give anything back to anyone in particular, they just take it into their illusion and show it to everyone.

That is why they can be quite comfortable within groups. With personal, 1-1 relationships, difficulties can arise. They need a very particular kind of person that can handle their tense and sometimes chaotic nature and can direct their "hyper" essence towards something stable.

Ketu is the other half of Rahu and the only planet that can calm it down. The immovable and hot nature of its opposite shadow planet can help Rahu get out of the head stop its often actively paranoid behavior. Ketu can provide the spiritual substance for Rahu's material manifestations and can match its cold, active and outwardly discharging energy with its own heated, passive and absorbing essence. Obviously, the two pairs of them are yoni consorts, with Ardra(dog yoni) and Shatabhisha(Horse yoni) having Mula and Ashwini as yoni consorts, respectively. Swati can also easily get along with Ketu people, but Ashwini(enemy yoni) might be the exception. For Swati, the best match is its own yoni consort(buffalo yoni)_ Hasta, a very earthy nakshatra.

Besides Ketu, Rahu people can be very drawn to Sun people. Mythologically, Rahu always seeks to eclipse the Sun_ another discharging and active planet, the one that it wants to imitate. If, for example, a Rahu person also has a Ketu influence, due to already having that Rahu-Ketu balance, they might prefer Sun individuals who emanate that warm light from within themselves. In platonic relationships, Rahu people might find kinship with Jupiter individuals with whom they share an adaptible and "airy" nature, but can give their abundant energy to draining and discharing Rahu.

Ketu women

Ashwini, Magha, Mula

The other half of the dragon, the tail/body of the serpent, the absorbing shadow that rules over the past of the person. Also a shadow planet that drains and depletes, Ketu is the "conquerer" that establishes the very essence of a person or a thing. It is where an individual can find their true power, but also where there is a potential for great danger.

Ketu women are a very raw example of femininity. Their basic nature and behavior is the representation of femininity in possibly its simplest light. They absorb everything around them and instead of doing anything at all, they integrate it into their internal selves. Their power is their passivity. Their energy resembles a black hole_ a seemingly endless void that never seems to be satisfied.

They too have a numbness in them, but unlike Rahu, Ketu women might become overwhelmed with their own stagnant and heavy energy, struggling to properly express or define what they are, feel and know. Rahu can become confused from too much information, Ketu can become confused from a lack of it. In the end, they both might feel like they are missing whatever the other is/has. There is also a blindness to both of them, where each sees only their opposite side. But Ketu knows what it knows, and unlike Rahu, it does have stability. The danger with them is stubbornness, the inability to be moved by the outside.

Ultimately, Rahu people are the best match for them. Ketu women can be overly passive* and unresponsive in most 1-1 relationships. They can "hide" and assimilate better in groups but with just one another person they can become extremely disinterested, if the other is not on par with them. Rahu can break its stagnancy and help Ketu women to push their energy outwards.

Besides Rahu individuals, Ketu women might be compatible with Jupiter people, since they have an abundance of excess energy that can give to Ketu's hungry and absorbing nature. Ketu also heals Jupiter. Another dynamic that is possibly compatible for them is with Mars-ruled individuals, due to Mars and Ketu being similar in nature, but this might work best in platonic relationships.

*the passivity of Ketu is not displayed in an obvious way, at least, not all the time. By passivity I meant that it's very hard for them look outside of what they know and have decided. Their behavior might actually look very expressive and reactive, especially Ashwini's and Mula's. Ketu is the conqueror because it simply goes and acts without thinking. It's pure instinct. What it lacks though is the rational mind and awareness. In real life natives, this can manifest as willful or unintentional "ignorance", or simply intense self-focus that does not really allow outside input. With Ashwini, getting their way is a matter of protection, existence and survival, and their "ignorance" is the most unintentional out of all Ketu nakshatras. With Magha, it's about their sense of self-worth and influence. With Mula, it's about their core beliefs and an establishment of the ultimate truth. I think Ashwinis are mostly unintentional, Maghas don't even care to even look at that, and Mulas are aware of their "ignorance" but recognize the necessity of self-focus for their own basic sanity.

When working with tropical astrology do you use whole or placidus or a dif system?

I don’t really care for Placidus if i’m being honest lmao but that’s just my personal opinion.

Occasionally I’ll look at my own/other people’s charts using Placidus and will take away something from it, but i’ve been using WSH for years now and it’s what works best with my brain and just makes the most sense to me.

I will say I do like how with Placidus it beautifully captures how energy bleeds into each other rather than being completely contained and tied to one house, but regardless of that i’m a big fan of WSH system 4L.

Your take on uttrabadrapada (esp the moon) was soo accurate and interesting. could you talk a little about the pushya nakshatra? my north node is there and I'm really curious now lol. thanks for reading <3

I would have to know your Ascendant sign and what house your Rahu is in, but overall Rahu in a Saturn nak can be difficult at first and may take a longer to see positive outcomes regarding the topics in whatever house it resides in. I also recommend looking at your Moon placement since that will be the dispositor of Rahu and will give more insight on how your Rahu functions. Rahu in Pushya might enhance the energy of Saturn potentially making someone slightly over-disciplined. Over time though, the hardships that these folks face can generally help push them towards the security they need. Also have seen that it can make someone interested in different methods of activism/social justice or they might really enjoy learning about such topics.

Pushya as a nak itself is generally very auspicious, but like I said, it just takes time to see results with that Saturn rulership. These people are super good friends and will stay in your life long term if they find value in your connection. They are supportive and generous and are on the search to find comfort and security and to share their fruits with others. They’re good at giving advice and consoling others and lending a shoulder/ear. Downside is that people with this nak can tend to be slight people pleasers and may overcompensate a lot for their shortcomings. Their speech and writing is also very influential; the way they speak is a poem in itself.

Wouldn’t call them conservative as in stuck in their own ways, but they do enjoy tradition and find solace in practicing what they preach. They may have potential setbacks surrounding their relationships in the beginning of life because they need someone as loyal and devotional as them and may come across quite a few half-fulfilling relationships. Pushyas are also pretty good at navigating hardships; these people can take on quite a bit before fully walking away/giving up on something and they usually do it all alone.

Hope this helps/was insightful!

Happy solar return to me 😁😁

With 10H Moons, they’re driven towards becoming seen and acknowledged by the collective. They don’t necessarily need outside validation, but it definitely can push them towards their goals faster. They like to be known and appreciated for whatever it is they do (a lot of 10H Moons I know want to be famous or are well known in their communities). These people are usually born to stand out in some way (especially with what they do) so when they follow the pack they can feel somewhat lost.

A 10H Moon has to have their heart in whatever it is they’re doing or going after. They can easily become bored or unhappy when going down an unfulfilling path. When the 10H Moon enjoys what they do, it becomes an outlet for them to feel content. They can also job hop quite a bit. They want to try new things so it may be hard for them to settle into something if they aren’t 100% certain about it; 10H Moons are generalists and if they could, they would do multiple things at once. These people love working when they find something they’re passionate about and feel comfortable in a space where they can tend to something. Having a sense of responsibility inside and outside of their jobs can make them feel very secure— they like to be needed and feel important and valued at their jobs. Productivity generally makes these people feel accomplished, but the balance between work and home and everything else in between can be a struggle for them and they may begin to feel burnt out, stuck, or stressed if they dedicate all their energy on one aspect of life.

In a workplace or when collaborating with others, these are the type of people to ask everybody how they’re doing and feeling. Working in a place with discord or working with others they don’t get along with will cause them to retract from their jobs super quick. I’ve noticed that most of the time at their workplaces they can make good long-term friends and people will tend to nurture/take them under their wing. I’ve also seen the opposite where people in the workplace might overly baby these individuals and think they’re less capable than their peers.

It is said that the 10H Moon native’s mother somehow influences their direction/motivation in life whether it be positive or negative. Ex. 10H Moon’s relationship with mother was not great so it motivated the 10H Moon to not become like the mother, driving them towards greater opportunities OR some aspect of the mother is influenced by the 10H Moon’s drive towards whatever they want to pursue. As 10H Moon myself, a personal example is my Mother was really into astrology, tarot, tattoos, and the occult and I was heavily influenced by her. All her interests are things I would be okay going towards in terms of career paths. After my mom passed it inspired me to want to become a certified death doula.

It’s so hard for a 10H Moon to not wear their hearts on their sleeves and moods on their faces. 10H Moons will almost always carry their emotions on their face and people seem to easily read their body language. They can unconsciously adjust their emotions to however the other person reacts to them as well; to feel seen by others, their feelings need other people’s response and reactions. They can also be painfully transparent especially when letting others know how they feel.

Although it may be difficult for these natives due to their concern about their image, being authentic is important because by being themselves and feeling their feelings unapologetically, they can help make others feel like they’re not alone. Their words are incredibly impactful, especially when it’s emotionally charged. This makes for a great motivator and advacate.

hi can you explain more about uttrabadrapada being close to death?

Uttara Bhadrapadas aren’t literally close to death meaning they’re dying, but the concept of mortality is very comforting to them. They feel comfortable with the idea that there will always be a way out of suffering and that nothing is permanent. It is said that UBP represents what comes after an ending such as death, hence why these people frequently reflect on their impermanence in the world. This is depicted with the symbol associated with this nakshatra, the back legs of a funeral cot; coming to an end of life where the body is burned and begin the process of “purification”.

These people also frequently go through major transformations throughout their lives which in a way is a form of death. Transformation can be like shedding of the skin such as a serpent does which is the deity that governs UBP; Ahir Budhnya Samhita who lives in the deepest part of the ocean. This serpent of the depths is associated with the hidden depths of wisdom, endurance of hardships, and spiritual evolution which is why UBPs are incredibly deeply contemplative. UBPs are also in a constant state of deep sleep sitting with their unconscious— mind you all while being awake which is why they’re kind of hard to reach in other people’s eyes. Their relationship with death and sitting in these depths of contemplation are more valuable to them than anything in the material; it comforts and protects them from the overwhelming noise of the outside world.
