ASTROLOGY OBSERVATION [Chapter 5] ✨ - The South Node Version

Libra South Node = The urges to seek justice in this world forever.

Also i always see how Libra South Node move from one pain to another pain. They keep picking the decision that require them to hurt themselves.

Leo South Node need to burst their own bubble. They tend to live with all the privileges but doesn't realize what does their privilege means. I need to say that they have no play time in this world because they used to play so much in their past life. Remember, privilege = power.

I swear the Leo South Node is the most problematic south node ever. Because often, Leo South Node people has tendency to BLOCK other people's growth and development for the sake of themselves.

Also, the amount of too-kind parents that have Leo South Node people like, Leo South Node people will act crazy and their parents always "giving them the second chance because we are family".

Gemini South Node. Please. No matter how desperate are you, DON'T. BROKE. THE. RULES. You can outsmart it but you can't broke it. Law (Sagittarius) will beat your ass down if you misbehaving.

Gemini South Node and thinking "There's nothing i could think of this anymore" and running around from things they need to face.

Cancer South Node and the tendency to keep yourself in the shell. Remember, the more you put your shell on, the more universe break it until it hurt you.

Also the crab mentality of Cancer South Node is unbeatable. It's "If i can't get it NOBODY CAN"

Taurus South Node has the tendency to work around the love they try to earn. How about realizing that it's not what you earn and more about what you get?

Whenever Taurus South Node people thinks they need money, it's somehow always "I need more money to be STACKED" not "I need because i have none."

Taurus South Node and the urge to keep budgeting shit to the pennies. They are like, "No, i have money but not for drinking. This is the food money, this is the laundry money, this is for the coccaine, skincare, etc" like DANG WHY YOU ARE SO PARALYZED BABE?

Aquarius South Node experience a time when they are burdened by the responsibility and the duty. Many people claims that Aquarius south node are detached and cold. But it just their coping mechanism so they could keep going and not breaking down 😭

Aquarius South Node people and being the forever kid in their adult. They gonna be like "Okay, i'm adult now so i will BUY ANYTHING that i want in my childhood and i would do EVERYTHING that i want to do as a child."

Capricorn South Node HATES working hard. THEY HATE IT. Stop assuming they love what they did. THEY DON'T. THEY FEEL TORTURED. THEY ARE SO TIRED ALL THE TIME.

Also, i had no idea why Capricorn South Node ladies are always the alpha one in relationship??? They'd be all damn intimidating and would let the people take the control of relationship.

Pisces South Node, why did y'all love to be a troublemaker? I mean. Sometimes i found this placement feel like they creating a problem when they are bored or lonely.

Pisces South Node also have several addiction that prevent them to grow up as healthy person. This has to do with longing things that too good to be true.

Aries south node and the urge to fight all the people that wronged you in the past 😭

Aries south node and the rushed feeling that boils the blood. They feel their own bloodrush when they got angry so they need to be careful to pick the food for the sake of their own health.

It's the Sagittarius South Node that have the "I am BETTER than thou" behaviour.

Sagittarius South Node need to understand that diversity and the dynamics of community. What you think of truth doesn't work as truth to other people because social conditioning, privilege and poverty.

Scorpio South Node and the "It's all or nothing" mentality. How about acceptance for the sake of your dignity?

Also, i had no idea why Scorpio South Node people are SO CUTE and adorable? Like ... They are so LOVABLE.

Virgo south node and the family pressure of having WORK.

"I am the unpaid maid of my family" and proceeds to poison the whole house is a typical Virgo South Node villain story jk.

[pwincess-charchar]

Hey hey! Big char-char here to give an important message to all the other littles and to the wonderful caregivers!

I know there’s been an awful anon bully going around and being mean :( I just wanna say to anyone who’s received hate or is scared of it to not listen to them! They’re just some faceless grey icon with nothing better to do with their time. Don’t take anything they say to heart, they aren’t worth it!

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with agere. It’s a healthy coping mechanism, nothing bad or creepy about it! Don’t you forget that!

I know not a lot of people see my stuff, but if this can help even one person then that’s more than enough! Keep being yourself! I love you all (/platonic)!! 🌈✨♥️

From Isolating to Connecting - How I Changed My Coping Skills

When people get stressed their coping mechanisms often make things worse. Some people turn to drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Others spend all day on social media. It is very important to have healthy coping mechanisms.

My coping mechanisms were not good. I noticed that they were making me worse. I used to spend all day on YouTube. I realized that i was not becoming the person i wanted to be

The first step in my journey was to identify my unhealthy coping mechanisms. I noticed that i would often turn to social media when i was feeling anxious or bored i would spend hours mindlessly scrolling through my feed comparing myself to others and feeling increasingly isolated.

I also realized that i would sometimes binge watch TV shows or movies as a way to escape from my problems. While this would provide temporary relief it would ultimately leave me feeling even more stressed and unproductive

Once i had identified my unhealthy coping mechanisms i could start to replace them with healthier ones. I began by setting limits on my social media use. I decided to only allow myself to use social media for a certain amount of time each day and i made sure to use it in a more mindful way

Then I started doing journaling a lot like a lot i use self discovery journal prompts to get know my self better and i started keeping myself busy to prevent any unnecessary thoughts that could lead me back to my unhealthy coping mechanisms. I realized the importance of continuous learning and trying new things in life so i began to explore various topics i was interested in. I set myself tasks gave myself deadlines and sought knowledge from the internet to avoid overloading my mind. I created a knowledge journal to organize the information i gathered. I started reading self help and poetry books as well as creating my own poetry. I began to learn about paintings, philosophy, literature, and how businesses work. I watched documentaries and listened to podcasts to fill in the knowledge gaps within me. Learning about the history of the world and many other things helped me avoid negative thoughts and instead filled me with knowledge. Now i look at life from a different perspective 🐚🪕🦢

It has been a journey but i am proud to say that i have come a long way in my quest to find healthy coping mechanisms. I am now better equipped to handle stress in a positive way and i am more confident in my ability to overcome challenges.

End note :

I know that i am not alone in my struggles and i hope that my story will inspire others to seek out healthy coping mechanisms. If you are struggling with unhealthy coping mechanisms please know that you are not alone. There are many resources available to help you and it is possible to find healthy ways to cope with stress

And just be Be patient with yourself. It takes time and effort to change.🪷🪞✨

Hi!! I’m totally new to the LMK fandom 😭 I found a really cool edit on TikTok of Mac and Sun and I instantly fell in love lol

So if you can! And want! Could you do shadowpeach x GN! human reader who is kinda scared of monkeys and apes due to the animals being menaces (literally 😭 terrifying animals)

(Really putting myself out there)

but the reader also loves some monkeys like the pigmy Marmosets (✨autism✨)

IF THIS IS POSSIBLE THANK YOU! If not then you can pick and chose which ones!

Take care of yourself!! ✨💖

Looks up the marmosets

Ok, those are adorable.

Disclaimer: it is winter break for me so I have a little more free time on my hands and I've been itching to write something now

Does this mean requests are fully open? Kinda.

I'll do one request a week, maybe more depending on my energy and what the requests is

(you all try designing a show and balancing school and your healthy coping mechanisms. This blog is on the bottom of my priorities)

Sorry for all that rambling for ya, new person! You just got me out of my rut so I had to lay some ground rules before people start bombarding me with requests

Anyways!

Shadowpeach and a GN!Reader scared of apes

Now, these two are little shits, so the way they first introduce themselves to you is... Abrupt

Macaque over here will probably corner you in a deserted section of a market and start flirting immediately since you caught both of their eyes and he has the go ahead

Poor dude is so confused on why you are so fucking scared

So they both back off for a while... Then they see the problem.

They see the problem when they are stalking keeping an eye on you and see you go into a zoo and your friends take you through the primate section and you cower, except when you see the pygmy marmosets

Armed with this new knowledge, they are now trying to introduce you slowly, they start talking to you in more public places with their human disguises.

They do let you know these aren't how they look like, but it's pretty close and you think they would probably look hot regardless

Painfully slow when you are now hounding them to see their actual forms. They have warned you that you would not like it all that much, but you are a stubborn person

So they do

And you freak out, unsurprisingly. So they both transform into the marmosets you adore and that has helped calm you down

So they start taking things slow again.

Coaxing you little by little by showing their tail once in a while for you to play with if you are stressed.

Showing their claws bit by bit (maybe more when you paint them-)

After, I would say a few months, they finally show the full, true forms around you all the time.

It's truly sweet how these two are fucking oblivious yet so patient and loving at the same time.

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS 222

✨Mercury conjunct Saturn: have very realistic and tactless speech, they usually try to impose their opinions on others, has raspy voices, they like to smoke as coping mechanism with anxiety, Are the ones who destroys the dreams of the “hippies/idealistic people” with harsh reality, they are very hard on themselves, but have a very good intuition of what is really important, debating and being assertive is their second nature. ✨Always listen to what a Mercury in 6th house person has to say, because they know a lot about health issues, intuitively without having studied too much, they know a lot about all types of health issues, although Mercury here is a little bit nervous and that's why not many people take into account what they have to say, but please listen to them because they probably have the solution to your psychosomatic problems, health issues, eating disorders, etc. That's his gift to you. ✨Any planet/asteroid you have conjunct your AC, DC, MC & IC is your regent planet(not dominant) but you have an abundant energy of that planet/asteroid. ✨Taurus stellium: Quite grounded, they have a very good relationship with money and animals, they usually gain a lot of money and have more than one pet, they are very talented in arts, high libido, they usually have a lot of hair, very patient, love alcohol, ambitious, quite sensual, very stubborn, loves food, good cooks, nature always accompanies them, generally where they live are many plants or a lot of nature. A friend of mine has this: And he is grounded af, stable like a tree, is one of the best guitarists I know, he loves to drink, and lives with his Taurus girlfriend in a house with lots of nature and he is quite seductive too. ✨Mars in 7th House: Mars is the initiator, is the one who opens paths, so If you meet/date a Mars in the 7th house usually and almost always, they are your first something(your first love, your first org*sm, your first healthy relationship, the first person who puts you in your place), Usually Mars in this house wakes up and is very stimulated by relationships, they are dominant in one-on-one interactions, but sometimes they tend to delegate this power to others, to their friends or their partners, so many times they claim this power back when they end/start a relationship. ✨My ex who have Mars Scorpio in 0º degrees/Capricorn MC in Scorpio 8º degrees/Aries Rising/ Her face when she was thinking, worried, bored, angry, being neutral, was like this: https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/94786767148623274/ My second ex who has Mars scorpio in Scorpio 20º degrees/Moon scorpio in Capricorn 10º degrees/Capricorn rising in Scorpio 8º degrees/her face when she was just “existing” was literally this: https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/577657089722136835/  (yeah I know, very similar). And me a Gemini rising in Libra 19º degrees/Moon Libra in Libra 19º degrees/Mars Capricorn in Taurus 14º degrees/Lilith opposite AC/ I literally look like this: https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/59109813851944049/ ✨Aquarius dominant people are very creative, intelligent, odd ones, usually very detached, If someone they don't know insults, threatens or treats them with disrespect, they don't care because they detach and tend to view the bigger picture, so their approach to obstacles is cool & calm,  sometimes they have a hard time getting their big ideas down to earth. ✨Aries dominant people are very reactive, they are constantly trying to assert dominance on others, even the sweet pisces would have strong reactions, dominants, hot, very short temper, they are physically strong or have lots of physical strength, lots of drive. ✨Astrology is so complex and infinite that sometimes is better to know people just for who they are, expand your perception through awareness/being present, see through their illusions(masks/personalities/ego), reach to the soul level and start creating real, genuine, vulnerable, beautiful relationships! A better world!

Hello ✨💜

for the Florence prompts...

5. I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it for Maren and/or

48. Sweeter than heaven and harder than hell for Circe? (or change them for anyone who fits best :3)

Hello! 💜✨ I went for the first one, since painting fire over water is always quite relaxing 🔥

(ideally set during the year with Athenril - because Meeran had enough Hawke's siblings already. Burning ships is an healthy coping mechanism, maybe? Sorry, Isabela.)

Thank you for the prompt!

[naavispider]

I absolutely loved your Survivor cop and runaway AU! You ✨ate✨ with that!

If I may humbly make a suggestion, as much as I loved how Survivor had a straight forward happy ending, realistically, a kid in a position like Spider's would probably have a relapse, either with the drugs or with some of the behavior problems, like picking fights, or hiding things from adults because he's not used to trusting them anymore. Progress isn't always linear, and it's perfectly normal for a kid like Spider to have setbacks before readjusting to a healthy environment. He was in survival mode for so long it will be hard for him to unlearn the unhealthy coping mechanisms he developed to survive.

If you feel up to it, I'd love it if you could write a little more about Spider hitting a roadblock while trying to adjust to normalcy and both him and Quaritch struggle with it, but eventually Q helps him get through it. Adults caring for kids who are coming out of survival mode sometimes don't fully understand it, and I could see Quaritch being like "you have a roof over your head and food and love, I don't understand why you're trying to get drugs/lying to me/whatever problem you want to focus on"

Hellooooo 💞

I 100% agree spider would have setbacks! In my head, this is not the end of the story and he does face further struggles with addiction and fear of abandonment (which obviously leads to negative presenting behaviours that Quaritch would struggle with). I love writing that kind of angst and exploring how it impacts the relationship between spider and Q. HoWeVer for the purpose of the fic I deliberately wanted to keep it short and fluffy. There is so much scope for more writing in this AU but I don’t think I have another longfic in me 😅😬 I’m convinced my writing style/process takes longer than most people because it takes me absolutely agesss to get the words out 🥴 I’m just a slow writer I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

So in answer, yes I would love to! But that opens it up into a longfic to which I can’t see an end! I understand that the current ending of the fic was more picket fency than what it would be in real life and I’m sorry if that put you off 🙏🏻 I recognise your points and agree with you.

The fun part for me was seeing Quaritch as a no nonsense military dad type that takes control for purely loving reasons. In this AU I think he’d handle Spider’s challenging behaviour exceptionally well. His strict attitude and ability to take control of the situation (basically not giving spider a choice) is part of the reason that Spider adjusts so well when he first moves in. He needs someone that just knows better because that’s what he’s been craving since Paz died. And Quaritch is that authority figure that Spider immediately recognises is more than capable. The door is definitely open for a bonus scene that does show Spider slipping up, but I can’t say it’s definitely going to happen or when 😊

✨🔮What do you need to know right now? 🔮✨

Below hold thee answers, just pick ye emoji. Whichever one gives ya a tingly feel and makes you want to pick it, that's where your reading will be.

Pile 1 : 🤷‍♂️

Pile 2 : 💩

Pile 3 : 🤠

Btw, this is a general reading. Meaning not all of the details may resonate. Take what does and leave the rest. Tarot gives you insight, it's your life and it's up to you what you do with it.

Pile 1 🤷‍♂️

WHALE AND ORCA LEADERS - Share your song. Frequency of sound. Diving deep.

The Fool, Mother of Swords, & Daughter of Cups

Remember who you truly are. *Mufasa voice*

You're not the face you put on for the perceived comfort of others or to avoid ridicule. You're not the defenses you built to guard your heart. You're not the pain you experienced that inspired you to believe this is something you must do.

You're the depths within your heart - below the surface you currently project. You're being asked to shine a light on these depths - to allow your authentic self to shine. When you do this, you attract those who're meant for you instead of just putting a wall between yourself and the outside world.

Being vulnerable isn't being weak or opening yourself up to attacks. When you're vulnerable, you know you're strong enough to see that any negativity that's been attempted to be thrown in your direction is just a reflection of their lack of love for themselves. You're strong enough to not pay it any mind further than that and to know that you're more than enough, your love for yourself is more than enough, and so is the love from those who resonate with you and from Source.

You're being recommended to look into methods of connecting to your higher self, connecting to your self love, grounding, and developing a healthy energetic shield. The shield isn't the overly thick one you're hiding behind right now. It's about balance and having boundaries. Knowing that you're in control of what you take on and focus on. You don't have to take on others' opinions as your own or allow them to exist within your energy.

Pile 2 💩

LOOSEN YOUR GRIP - Coping mechanisms. Density. Addiction. Let God in.

The Devil, The Hierophant, & Temperance

You want to know about something as if your well being depends on you knowing the answer. Well being is well being. It's not dependant on anything, it exists within itself.

Just because you not knowing the answer to something is activating anxiety, turmoil, and panic doesn't mean knowing the answer will resolve the issue. It may put a temporary band aid on it, but you wouldn't heal the root of it. You deserve to be in true harmony - not some type of purgatory.

Just because something may look like the answer at first glance, doesn't mean it is. Follow the trail and you'll see the need for balance and how to obtain it.

You don't need anything to feel whole and complete. You are that wholeness and completeness. What you're looking for is yourself and is within you.

How can you balance your internal and external world? How can you see the external as additions to your experience and not the source of your well being? How can you sit with yourself, accept where you are, stop desperately seeking answers outside of yourself (like with tarot readings like these. They can be an addiction that don't truly get you anywhere if you don't heed their advice), and relax into the knowing that you'll find the answer within yourself when the time comes? You'll only find clarity when you do this and take care of yourself first.

Pile 3 🤠

STAR KEEPER - Cosmic ancestor. Seed the light by staying grounded.

The Hermit, Daughter of Wands, & 9 of Swords

There's alot of energy in your mind - so much so that along with the insights you're being given, you're also seeing things that aren't in your highest interest to see. Things that give you anxiety. Negativity.

You're going through a spiritual breakthrough, a spiritual awakening, and/or receiving alot of downloads from the universe. You may have an overactive 3rd eye, an overactive imagination, and be in your head too much.

You're being advised to spread the excess of energy in your head to the rest of your body. To ground yourself in your body and in the present. There are several grounding methods you can look into. My favorites are hugging a tree barefoot, using affirmations, and having the intention while saying to myself, "I put my energy into my hands. I feel my energy in my hands. I put my energy into my feet. I feel my energy in my feet. I feel my energy in my feet and hands."

Being grounded will allow you to channel your insights properly, without being swayed into the toxic illusions, and will allow you to implement what you've learned.

You're also being recommended to connect with your heart space and to carry an energetic shield - but not to hide from the world too much. You're still here and not somewhere else for a reason. Raising your vibration and connecting with your true self through your heart space will make it a walk in the park to maintain your well being, shield, and to do energy work in general.

[daily-ish-syndicate-headcanons]

what happens when one of them gets a great big wiff of ✨p✨a✨s✨t✨ ✨t✨r✨a✨u✨m✨a✨? mental breakdowns? what helps each one cope? also connor probably just jokes through everyone's funny little trauma moments, man will not suffer, he is incapable of trauma

ough………. they are having sad moments…..

connor definitely just jokes through everything. he doesn't know how to be serious.

Techno shuts himself off. He hides in his room, locks the door, and doesn't come out until he's feeling "better." it's definitely not a good coping mechanism, but he doesn't let anyone else help him.

Phil... I don't really know how he might cope? Probably not in a healthy way.

Niki fights. When she's stressed or upset or thinking too much about past experiences, her and Techno spar. He's the only one she doesn't pull her punches with.

Ranboo gets clingy. It's because when he gets upset, he dissociates, and needs someone near him to remind him that he is, in fact, real. He'll basically grab onto the closest trusted person and not let go for the rest of the day. Usually it's Techno or Phil.

[clefaiiiry]

I had such a garbage day I’m gonna write the scene where Aphelios gets stabbed in this long fic as a ✨healthy coping mechanism✨

[bunniesbearsandadventures]

🌸 If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. 🌸

No pressure to reply

Sweet! Thanks for the ask and um three random facts about myself hmm.

1. I have actually met Graham McTravish at a convention as well as The hobbits from the lord of the rings and a few other LoTR and Hobbit celebrities as well! But definitely Dwalin and the hobbits are the most most famous. I was fairly young around twelve or thirteen when I met Dealing and Last year was when I met the Hobbit crew. All amazing all wonderful. Would love to see them again if not new members in future conversations.

2. I am actually not really good nor a big fan of reading. I know strange because I love writing and this blog is dedicated to writing but I just struggle with actually reading. I believe I have aphantasia which makes me unable to "picture" things in my head. So reading is really just words on paper to me. A big part of reading is the picturing of events but nope, can't do it. Also reading in school has taken the fun out of it for me (which is a sentiment shared by a lot of people). However I would like to get back into reading and find some enjoyment in it because I do think its a relaxing and healthy way to cope! I do collect books and that's not to say I don't have favorite stories. I love Arthas: Rise of the Lich King" by Christine Golden. ✨📚

3. This one isn't really a fun fact but I don't mind sharing because it is a part of my life. Speaking of coping I have felt with mild to severe depression for a good portion of my life. I am always trying to get better and think more positively and this blog as well as other factors (relationships and activities) of my life have helped me! It isn't easy but I do try and one of my many coping mechanisms has been plush animals. Like a looooot of plush animals. As long as my depression reins i don't think my plush friends will leave. Currently sleep with like ten and they are all my comfort after a long day! Lil guys are just my kinda jam and they sit on my bed and give me so much joy. Ill probably be eighty and still want to go to build a bear and get a new fella if I want to.

So yeah some facts about me!

:3 and I wish whoever reads this a very big thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you have a great day.

Had Therapy Today

Me: …so, yeah. It’s been really hard to come out of my trauma anniversary and deal with all of ✨this✨. I feel like all the C-PTSD symptoms haven’t had a chance to deflate from their flare up, so I feel like I’m being hyper vigilant and I also feel like I can’t look away. Because I have the ability to stay calm and patient and empathetic and try to educate people. I feel like I can actually help. Maybe not the whole world. But if I can reach a few people, I think I should. But I don’t know if that’s the healthy thing or if it’s making my symptoms worse.

Therapist: They aren’t symptoms.

Me: ???

Therapist: Your symptoms are those feelings of hyper vigilance and panic and fear when there is no stimulus. You are being targeted. Your community and safe havens are being attacked. You are having to defend yourself daily. You are having justified feelings of abandonment and fear.

Me: yeah???

Therapist: So that’s…a stimulus. They aren’t symptoms. You are using your coping mechanism from your pre-existing trauma to find a way through this one. It’s ok. You’re being brave. You’re helping.

Me: …oh. 🥺🥺🥺😭

[rainymoodlet]

okay, so, a little less of a sad update!! ✨

i’ve been in a very depressive episode lately, and it just came to a head today. i was able to play so much because i was disassociating hardcore! and really neglecting my real world responsibilities to do it.

so i will still be posting regularly, just probably not every day 😅 i’m trying to create a healthy balance with my tried and true coping mechanism, so its going to be interesting for sure dhdhd but thank you all for your patience!! we will see the end of this bachelor challenge, so help me god 😘
