Astrology Observations No.4

<3 TW

I use the whole sign system

Mars-Saturn hard aspects struggle with sexual encounters at first and have a poor relationship with intimicy.They may loose their virginity later than others and that‘s good yk never loose sahahah

Mars in leo/degrees can be known for their drive (that one girl in my class is super intelligent and everyone knows that) Since leo rules fame it makes more than sence✮⋆˙

Moon in cancer (if developed) can talk about that they just cried over an quite little duck running around without being ashamed of pointing out their own vulnerability (ma sweethearts) That is because cancers ruler is moon

Venus in aquarius always have something to do with animes and they live for video games and their friends. Nevertheless you can be their partner but sometimes they put their friends first 𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ𐀔

Mercury in taurus thinkkkk before they talk, might talk slow and come of as seriøs

Wait jupiter in 3rd house just get a lot of money from family members $♡

Venus in 11th house post their favorite things online ( your pets, your playlists…) 💋

4th house in aries: your home environment is wild, full of chaos and passion at the same time ✮⋆˙

Saturn-Pluto: The relationship to your father changed or transformed you. Some people with this placement are not in contact with their father anymore or just see him once in a while

Moon-Jupiter individuals get lucky if they show their emotions (others try to emphasize with them or they get help) also depends on other aspects ☼

Trust me libra mercury knows how to charm others or themselfes out of uncomfy situations with their words

Mercury in aries try to help you through telling you the solution to your problem (you might get mad but they just wanna help) lovely cookies of mine

Lilith-Mc no one believes that you are innocent. Oh you are a virgin,they will assume you have stds because apperently they assume that you fucked around the town and bānged your friend friends their exes and boyfriends/girlfirends plus their grandfather-mothers

Uranus-Venus positive =tip try to work if problems in relationships accure

How Uranus-Venus hard aspects behave= They may jump to the next person and think that working on relationships are not worth it if you have serious problems or if they don‘t see growth quickly. But that doesn't mean that they will leave you just that they do not have time for bullshit

Venus in pisces need a lot of time to recover if they get hurt but they will die for you

Sag moon have the opinion that getting distracted is good (especially with friends,loved ones). These folks don't believe in telling you their feelings that much

Specific but scorpio pluto in leo degree are known for their dark deep feelings and pain

Jupiter in libra generation loves money, some more others less ˗ˏˋ✩ˎˊ˗

Please listen Mercury-Asc people in combinition with Venus tense aspect with Mars, you are not ugly people always talked about your appearence and that makes you always think about how you look. Mercury=thoughts,Asc=Appearence. TW! Body dismorphia can be the case, if so I hug you and advice you to get help¡

Why do aries individuals often have some type of allergy it isn't normal anymore hahaha

TW! Most borderliners have intense aspected moons or gemini, leo or aries moons. Gemini moons have a maze of mind and will overthink everything and then turn into an empty minded person in one split second (typical for BPD), leo moons suffer from people pleasing and having a high opinion of themselfes turn into low low self esteem issues, and them aries moons show their emotions impulsifly or act on them impulsifly. I am not a professional but I am here to make you aware, I observed it in soo many charts, you know best if you show signs! It is more than important to get help :)

Neptune-Asc everyone seems to guess your age differently

Let me know if you would like to have a more dark astro observation next time

Queen of wands, knight of swords, the empress

His ideal type is someone outgoing, preferably extroverted

His ideal type also has some kind of talent, preferably related to art - whether it's singing, dancing, painting or something else

Someone who can be sassy at times but isn't always

Someone with a strong personality, who is confident and can be assertive

S/he should have a soft side to themselves

Also likes it if they'd be spontaneous

Someone who doesn't limit themselves (or let someone else limit them) and doesn't mind stepping out of their comfort zone from time to time

Also someone who doesn't mind standing out? For example by wearing bold colors or having a bright unnatural hair color

Possibly someone who has more than just one style

He might be attracted to piercings/tattoos

Someone talkative but also a listener so rather a balance between those two

He also likes supportive and honesty

Also s/he should be into traveling

Someone sensual

His ideal type should also have duality, as in be a mix between cute and sexy and personality wise be more than just "that confident outgoing person" you know

Someone he can actually have deep conversations with and who understands him - having similar opinions and views as him

Also someone who speaks more than one language, he finds it attractive

Someone who likes animals and/or nature

Bonus point if they play an instrument

Things he notices first; eyes, smile/lips, hands/nails

Doesn't seem to have a preference for height, so probably average height should be fine

His ideal type is also someone who he can tease and possibly even playfully bicker with (like some best friends do)

November 15, 2023.

She’s seen the Eiffel Tower plenty of times, but she will never get over how breathtaking the sight is. It’s the one thing that Eden has been looking forward to ever since Seokmin arrived.

Evelyn managed to convince Eden to take a trip for herself. It’ll probably be her last chance for a while since she vowed to help her sister when the baby arrived.

Paris and everything in it was a healing experience for her. It was always one of her favorite places to visit. She saw the opportunity and took it when she discovered Seokmin and his group would be there for a few days for an event. He was all for the idea and even if he wasn’t, she didn’t give him much room to argue. She was already on a flight two days before and waiting for him.

It was her first time being in Paris for just herself. Her and the girls usually came for work but other than that, there were no spontaneous visits.

Eden checked the time. It was a few minutes away from the Eiffel Tower to start sparkling like it does every hour. She leaned against the cement railing, switching her weight from one foot to the other as she waited.

“Hey there, beautiful.” She heard a voice right next to her ear that made her jump and shiver.

Seokmin wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him.

“Hey, Handsome.” She giggled, placing her hands on top of his.

He leans forward to kiss her cheek and she smiles. It was only this morning that they last saw each other, but they missed each other already.

Eden turns in his arms, facing him and reaching up to wrap her arms around his neck. He tips his head down to kiss her lips. The moan she lets out against his lips is quiet. When they finally pull away, she starts smacking her lips together.

“You taste nice.” She looks up into his eyes.

“Wine. There’s been so much wine today.”

“It’s good, right?”

“It’s very good.” He breaks their gaze to look behind her. His eyes start widening.

“Hmm?” Eden turns her head to look back and sees the Eiffel Tower sparkling.

“Wow.”

“It’s beautiful.” Eden smiles. She breaks free of his hold and grabs his hand. “Come on, I have some things to show you before it goes off again.”

“Lead the way, E.” He smirks, squeezing onto her hand and following alongside her.

They stop at a cart where she buys both of them chocolate filled churros. They sit on a bench near the river and get comfortable. His reaction is priceless as he takes his first bite. She wipes his mouth of the chocolate and sugar as they savor it. Once they’ve finished it all, they wipe their mouths and dust their hands off.

“Here,” She takes the remains from him before getting up and throwing them in the nearest trash can. She walks back, pulling her coat together when she feels a slight breeze. “Brr.”

“Cold?” Once Eden sits next to him, Seokmin wraps his arm around her, squeezing her to him and rubbing up and down to try to warm her up.

“I’ll manage.” She smiles, leaning her head on his shoulder as they watch waves on the river and boats row by. “It’s pretty, isn’t it?”

“It’s very pretty, but not as–“

“Don’t say it.” She cuts him off, removing her head and trying to look threatening and she looks anything but.

“Say what?”

“You know.”

“What? That the view isn’t as pretty as you?”

Eden turns her head, wanting to bite her fist from the way he makes her blush.

“You know I’m right.” He rests his hand on her thigh, giving it a squeeze.

She rolls her eyes, pulling her bag to her lap and digging through it. She hands him a marker and he watches her as she continues to go through it.

“What’s that?”

Eden pulls out a box, angling it towards him. It’s a padlock. She smiles while looking at it. “It’s a love lock.”

She starts to open up the packaging. “On the bridge over there, couples would attach a padlock to the railing with different things written on it and throw the keys in the river. It symbolizes unbreakable love.

“Growing up, I’ve always wanted to find someone to do this with. Right here in Paris. And now I can.” She runs her thumb over the top of the pink padlock, looking up at him. He smiles and she can see his eyes start to twinkle. “But I found out a couple days ago that all the locks that were once there were removed because of the excessive weight in the bridge. It’s illegal now. And as much as I want to be able to tell our kids how our love got us arrested in the most romantic city–it would be an amazing story–we’re gonna have to settle for the next best thing.”

“And what’s that?” He cups her cheek with a smirk.

“We throw the lock in the river, along with the key. I don’t plan on ever fishing it out.” Eden grabs the marker from him, writing the date and her first initial on it. She hands it to him and he writes a D.

“Neither do I.” He puts the cap back on the marker, letting the writing dry as he turns on his camera. “You’re the only one who is ever gonna have my heart.”

She gives him a peck on the cheek. “Good.”

He snaps a picture of the padlock in his hand, inviting her to hold it as well. He takes a few of the river and the bridge, the Eiffel Tower standing perfectly behind everything.

Eden stands to her feet, holding out her hand. “Ready?”

He grabs her hand as she leads the way to the bridge. There are still plenty of locks attached to the railing but the last thing both of them need is to be charged with vandalism. They get to the middle of the bridge before stopping.

“We do this and we will be just in time for the tower to start sparkling again.” They both take a minute to look at the remaining locks. There’s many and they both find it so endearing to know that there are other people out in the world that have an unbreakable, everlasting love just like them.

Eden holds the lock in place as Seokmin turns the key. As soon as they’re sure it won’t budge, they both look up at each other with smiles on their faces. They hang their arms over the railing, dropping the padlock and leaning over just a bit to see it splash and disappear. Her heart starts to ache as they toss the key next.

It feels a little overwhelming to part with something so symbolic of their love for each other, but knowing the real meaning behind it numbs that void.

Eden is still leaning over, watching the waves of the river until Seokmin pulls her back by her shoulders. She soon turns her attention back to him, gazing into his eyes.

“I love you.” He holds her cheeks in both of his hands, looking into her eyes and getting lost in them.

She leans in to kiss him, wrapping her fingers around his wrists as they are both overcome with a warm, cozy feeling inside their chests. He no longer tastes like the wine he had before meeting her. It is now replaced with chocolatey sweetness.

She pulls away, dropping her arms and wrapping them around his waist. “I love you more.” She knows she’s in for it but doesn’t give him the chance to argue before she’s leading him to the Eiffel Tower.

Once they’re off the bridge, the tower is right in front of them and they have to stretch their heads back to look at the top.

“It’s breathtaking.” Eden mumbles to herself, flexing her fingers in his hand as they walk around.

She sees the flash of his camera before the shutter and he’s just taken a photo of holding her hand with the Eiffel Tower in the back.

“Sorry, couldn’t help myself.” The sly grin on his face tells her he’s not sorry.

She pulls her phone out of her coat pocket to check the time. Three minutes.

To get him back, she lets go of his hand and pulls her own camera out of her bag. She takes a few steps back and begins to take pictures of him like he’s a model. He’s serious until she cracks a joke and he smiles with his teeth. Her favorite.

She hears the people around them in awe. When she looks up from her lens, she can see the Eiffel Tower sparkling again. In this moment, she takes the perfect shot of him looking back at the tower and it’s sparkling behind him.

Not wanting to waste this moment, she shuts her camera off and comes up behind him, rubbing her palm against his back in circles. He looks down at her, lifting his arm and wrapping it around her, pulling her close to his chest where she belongs. Eden hugs his waist with a smile on her face as they both watch the structure dazzle.

Seokmin kisses the top of her head, rubbing his hand back and forth on her shoulder. She tucks the hair behind her ear that escaped from the wind before looking up at him.

“I love you.” She smiles and he meets her gaze. She looks at his eyes until they drop to his lips. He helps her out due to his height, leaning down to kiss her. It’s soft and long lasting.

When they’re ready to part, he whispers against her lips. “I love you.”

10 Tips for Hosting a Winning Football Watch Party

The 2023 NFL football season is upon us and aside from attending a game in person, there’s nothing better than cheering on your favorite team with friends at a football watch party. Here are 10 tips to host your own party, whether you’re a rookie host or a veteran party planner looking to up your game!

Choose your players.

Once you’ve decided on the date and time of your party, make your guest list and send out invitations. Keep in mind that if your list includes couples and/or families, you’ll need to provide activities and space for those who may not be as focused on the game. (See item #7.)

Send out invitations.

A two-week lead time for sending out invitations is ideal – and make sure to include a deadline for RSVP. Evite.com has some great NFL invitation templates and makes the whole process easy for hosts and their guests. 

Plan your decor.

Gather team-themed items you already have as a starting point and then fill in as you envision your vibe. Here are some ideas.

Create an Insta-worthy backdrop for guests with a balloon arch in team colors and football-themed balloons from your favorite party store.

Build a concession stand for your food, complete with letter board signage.

Roll out the green carpet. Use cheap astro turf anywhere – a strip to your front door, as a tablecloth or runner, cut into small pieces for coasters.

Have a pickup truck? In true tailgating style, use the back of your truck as a beverage center.

Decorate with team pennants, pompoms, goalposts, confetti, etc. Need more creative ideas? Pinterest is your best brainstorming friend!

Check your video and audio.

Make sure your big screen will be a crowd pleaser. Test your video and audio equipment, and confirm that the big game will be accessible on your device. You don’t want to fumble first thing on game day! All guests should have seating in the viewing area, so you may need to relocate your television to a bigger space. Consider having multiple viewing areas – the main screen and others in traffic areas so no one misses a moment of the action.

Create your menu.

Finger foods are fun and easy: pigs in a blanket, sliders, chips and dips, wings, veggie trays, pizza, grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Put together a DIY chili and toppings bar with cheeses, sour cream, guacamole, avocado, tomatoes, olives, tortilla crumbles, cilantro, etc.

Dress the part.

Don’t forget to wear your team jersey and maybe add a dab of under-eye black. As a fun alternative, dress the part of your team’s cheerleaders, or be a ref with a whistle if you’ll have opposing fans in attendance!

Add game to your game.

Although the game itself is the main feature and will keep most guests entertained, pre-game activities could include football trivia, cornhole, or simply throwing a football in the yard. And remember, kids and even some adults will probably want alternative fun! A special room for kids with crafts, games, and their own visual entertainment (movies or video games) will go a long way to ward off whining. Kid-appropriate movie ideas: “The Game Plan” featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and “Little Giants” starring Rick Moranis and Ed O’Neill.

Document the fun with video.

Make sure you get pictures and video during the game – particularly animated cheering for post-game replay.

Score extra points with take-home goodie bags.

Label treat bags with cute sayings like “I hope you had a ball!” Fill with cute items like a football stress ball, pop (“Superbowl”) rings, team pennants, football shaped chocolates, etc.

Follow up with your fans.

Replay the fun with social media posts thanking your guests, continuing the celebration, and solidifying great memories.

MLB Expansion: Why Am I Obsessed With It?

The World Series ended last week and the Rangers became the 25th MLB team to win the coveted championship. This leaves the Rockies, Brewers, Mariners, Padres, and Rays as the only teams without a "ring". (Fun fact: 1922 was the first year teams were awarded rings after winning the Series) This was just the 3rd time in MLB history that 2 expansion-era teams faced off for the title, with the other 2 being 2015 and 2019. Without a second thought this seems, at best, like a nifty little stat, but looking deeper, it's borderline amazing it took so long for two expansion teams to play each other in the Fall Classic.

First, let's define "Expansion" team. It's any team added to the league AFTER the first 16 teams. Here are those original teams.

Original 16 MLB Teams and the year they joined MLB

Chicago Cubs - 1876

Atlanta Braves - 1876

Pittsburgh Pirates - 1887

Philadelphia Phillies - 1883

San Francisco Giants - 1883

Cincinnati Reds - 1890

Los Angeles Dodgers - 1890

St. Louis Cardinals - 1892

Baltimore Orioles - 1901

Boston Red Sox - 1901

Chicago White Sox - 1901

Cleveland Guardians - 1901

Detroit Tigers - 1901

Minnesota Twins - 1901

Oakland Athletics - 1901

New York Yankees - 1903

Sure, some of these teams have moved and/or changed names a few times, but as official franchise lineage goes, these are the original Major League teams.

In a short 27 years, baseball exploded to 16 teams. Originally, they were clustered in the east, only stretching as far as St. Louis. Those teams, battled it out for 57 years before any others joined the fray. Most measurements will tell you, to this day, that these 16 teams are still the more popular of the franchises. It's hard to compete with the popularity of the Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Braves, Cubs and Red Sox.

With the rise of commercial air travel, the success of the Braves' move to Milwaukee, and the ousting of the Dodgers and Giants to the West Coast, it was clear Baseball could handle teams in smaller markets all over the US. In 1961 MLB started growing by adding a second Los Angeles-based team, the Angels, and the Senators in Washington DC. The latter moved to Dallas in 1972 to become today's Rangers.

This kicked off a 37-year expansion that saw 14 teams added to the league. Teams popped up everywhere, from the southernmost tip of Florida to Canada to Seattle.

14 Expansion Era Teams and the year they joined MLB

Los Angeles Angels - 1961

Texas Rangers - 1961

Houston Astros - 1962

New York Mets - 1962

Kansas City Royals - 1969

Milwaukee Brewers - 1969

San Diego Padres - 1969

Washington Nationals - 1969

Seattle Mariners - 1977

Toronto Blue Jays - 1977

Colorado Rockies - 1993

Miami Marlins - 1993

Arizona Diamondbacks - 1998

Tampa Bay Rays - 1998

The league nearly doubled in size which, mathematically, made it harder to win a World Series. In 1969, the Mets were the first expansion team to win a title, but for the most part, the expansion teams were absent from the Series altogether. For most new teams, success did not come quickly. In fact, there have only been 14 expansion team champions since the start of the expansion era (1961). Here they are.

Expansion teams that have won a World Series

1969 - Mets 1985 - Royals 1986 - Mets 1992 - Blue Jays 1993 - Blue Jays 1997 - Marlins 2001 - Diamondbacks 2002 - Angels 2003 - Marlins 2015 - Royals 2017 - Astros 2019 - Nationals 2022 - Astros 2023 - Rangers

In 62 years of expansion, only 14 of those years have been won by new teams. If you spread the numbers out and do some math, during the expansion era (1961-2023), the original 16 teams together have had 976 eligible "campaigns" for a World Series, while expansion teams have only had 652 (that's counting each team per year they were in the league, minus the '94 strike year.) That's a 3/2 ratio for the expansion teams during the expansion era. Of course, since the new teams trickled in over the years, that stat is on a sliding scale, but I still feel like they should have had more success, faster.

For a better sample we'll need to look at all the Series played since 1998 (once all the teams were included.) That's 26 years of baseball with a 30-team level playing field. Theoretically, with true parity, 47% of the teams in the series should be expansion teams, and those teams should win 47% of the time. Let's see if that happened.

'98-'23 saw 20 expansion teams play in the World Series. That's 38%, about 9% away from true parity. That period also had 8 expansion World Series champs. That's 31%, even farther from parity. So the phenomenon that brought me to this journey, (2015 the first all-expansion team World Series) is starting to make a little more sense, but it still blows my mind that it took SO long.

I guess, given that most of the newer teams are from smaller markets with smaller fan bases and thus have a smaller cash flow, they can't afford to go out and buy who they need to fill the holes in their lineups like a bigger market can. A hard salary cap could really help in this dept. The bigger markets are also natural tiebreakers themselves. Would you rather make 20 million and play in Tampa, or make 20 million and play in LA?

If we only focus on recent memory, the last 10 years, the expansion teams have been done much better. 12 of the last 20 teams to make the World Series have been from the new batch, and they've won half of them.

More Fun Facts: The Mets and the Astros are tied for the position of most successful expansion franchises as they've both been to 5 Series and Won 2. The Marlins and the Blue Jays won both of the Series they played in, but have only made it to 2 each.

Here's where I dedicate a paragraph to the Phillies. They have been in the league since 1883 and have only won 2 championships. The only other original team to win just 2 World Series is the Guardians, but they joined the league 18 years after the Phillies. The Phils have been historically bad for a long time. If it hasn't been obvious that I'm a Braves fan, this should be the tipping point. :)

I don't think I'm trying to make a point here, maybe MLB should have a hard salary cap, or expansion teams should have found a way to be better, faster. I mean, how can you happily be a Padres, Brewers, or Mariners fan? 45+ years of failure has to create resentment towards the team and baseball as a sport. Hell, if the Braves go 2 years without winning their division, I get antsy.

Regardless of all of this, I'm just fascinated by MLB history. Seeing all these teams start trickling in through the later half of the 20th century, find their footing, and then win a World Series is like watching a child being born, grow, and become an adult. The circle of life.

Keys to blocking pitches in the dirt from a knee down set up!

Keys to blocking pitches in the dirt from a knee down set up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDM1-LNcJWU Knee down set ups are not for everyone. But if you’re a catcher who’s decided to get on a knee in a blocking situation, here are some keys to success. Main points: 1. GET YOUR MIND RIGHT! You need to be ready to block so anticipate (don't guess) the ball being in the dirt so your prepared to move. 2. Adjust your set up accordingly. Adjust foot position, amount of leg extension/flexion and be ready to move in the direction you need to move.
