The Silver Kami

Do you believe in fate/destiny? When the river of fate bends, who shapes its course? A timeless visitor and a wise monk share tea in a temple where destiny whispers through drifting snow. “Do you believe in fate?” The question hung in the air like incense smoke, curling around the shoji walls of the mountain temple. Snow drifted outside, falling in slow, deliberate spirals, as if the heavens…

✨ Astro Insights ✨

Astrology also can be used to explore ways to identify one's strengths, weaknesses and how to improve your physical and mental health. Part 1 covers the 1st house, this is part 2 with looks at the 6th house and part 3 will focus on the 8th house. I will also make a separate post for mental health houses.

Please be mindful these are just my own studies and do what is best for your circumstances and what feels good for YOU!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

6th House

In astrology the 6th house governs daily habits, diet, exercise and illness. It shows in how someone manages their wellbeing and any potential health issues.  The 6th house shows how you manage health, work, and daily routines. Understanding its placements helps optimise wellness, revealing health strengths, weaknesses, and ideal habits.

The person's health is specifically attached to their ability to advance at work and their work environment, thus any trouble that shows up in the 6th house can adversely affect one's general sense of wellbeing. 

Best Exercises Routines Based on 6th House Sign:

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) Need high-intensity workouts to burn excess energy. Exercises like HIIT, running, weightlifting, kickboxing etc

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) Thrive with slow, steady exercises. Yoga, strength training and hiking could be good for these signs.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) Need variety and movement-based workouts (dance, cycling, Pilates, social sports)  

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) Benefit from fluid and mindful movements and exercises like swimming, tai chi, yoga and breath work could be suitable for these signs.

Scorpio 6th house 

Scorpio here suggests intense health cycles—you might experience periods of great vitality followed by periods of deep exhaustion. Your body may be highly regenerative, but you could also be prone to chronic or hidden health issues that take time to diagnose.

The reproductive system, bladder, and detoxification organs (like the colon) may need extra care. Since Scorpio is about deep transformation, alternative healing methods (detox, therapy, or even energy healing) can be beneficial. Work-related stress can deeply affect your health, making emotional resilience crucial.

Since Scorpio's energy is intense, powerful, and transformative, their works could be ones that channel emotions into movement (boxing, weight lighting, martial arts), include intense yet therapeutic activities (hot yoga, sauna therapy, swimming) and promote deep relaxation after exertion (breath-work, stretching and massage therapy could be beneficial for this placement)

Libra 6th house

When Libra is in the 6th house, individuals with this placement may struggle with blood sugar imbalances, for example too much sugar or processed foods could cause fatigue, skin breakouts, or hormonal fluctuations.

Hormonal & sugar sensitivities can be an issue for this placement as Libra/Venus energy can affect hormone balance leading to issues like acne, bloating, or weight fluctuations. Digestive Issues may arise from emotional stress. Health can be affected by toxic relationships, work stress or emotional imbalance.

Libra in the 6th house suggests social or aesthetically pleasing workouts like dance classes, group fitness activities or workouts with a friend, this could help with staying committed. Avoid overly aggressive, harsh workouts as you need harmony, not exhaustion, and 

As Libra is ruled by Venus, this means that beauty and wellness and a solid skincare routine, massages or even aromatherapy outdoors improve both physical and mental health. Creative outlets like painting, listening to music or design can reduce anxiety & improve wellbeing.

Aquarius 6th house

When Aquarius is in the 6th house, your health and daily habits are unconventional and unpredictable and people with this placement might struggle with sticking to routine for too long before getting bored.

Holistic or alternative health practices could be interesting such as herbal medicine, biohacking or cutting edge wellness trends.

Aquarius rules circulation, the nervous system and lower legs like the ankles, calves, shin, watch for issues like restless leg syndrome, poor circulation and random energy crashes. Also Aquarius being ruled by Uranus, there can be sudden or unexpected health issues.

Individuals with Aquarius in the 6th house need to create a flexible health routine  and incorporate variety to keep things engaging. Movement based activities like trampolining, cycling or dancing can be good in supporting circulation.

The Black Sun Seed

🌑What Is the Black Sun Seed?

In certain obscure alchemical and anti-cosmic grimoires, there is mention of a ritual not to awaken—but to plant a Black Sun within the practitioner. Unlike the radiant Solar mysteries of illumination and enlightenment, this star is inward, devouring, silent.

The Black Sun Seed is said to be:

• A fragment of pre-cosmic will

• A spiritual singularity that devours illusion and false light

• A “mirror star” growing not in heaven but in the soul's abyss

• An inner anti-sun that does not radiate but pulls all things into gnosis by negation

It is neither demonic nor divine. It is void-pointed sovereignty.

🌑Why Cultivate It?

When grown over time through meditative and ritual work, the Black Sun Seed:

• Burns away egregores, parasites, and even archonic bindings

• Acts as a source of gnosis, pulling in patterns, power, and prophecy

• Serves as a core for apotheosis rituals or the forging of inner planes

• Allows entry into negative initiatory spaces where normal magical tools fail

• Acts as an anchor of self amidst chaos, perfect for Qliphothic journeying

The Black Star is Not the Shadow. This is crucial. The shadow is the reflection of the self. The Black Sun Seed is the generator of self through decreation. It is not Jungian. It is primordial.

🌑The Silent Star Rite: Cultivating The Black Sun

Best done in silence, darkness, and on the night of an eclipse or when the Moon is void-of-course.

You Will Need:

• A black sphere (obsidian, shungite, or hematite)

• A single black candle

• A cup of wine or ink

• A black cloth to cover your eyes or wrap your head

Instructions:

Sit in complete darkness, in stillness. Place the black sphere against your solar plexus. Gaze into the flame, whisper this mantra three times:

“Zimraz el Thagir; I summon not light, but the seed of unlight.

Let the Star of Devouring rest within me.”

Close your eyes and visualize a black star unfolding inside your body—not hot, but dense. Silent. Pulling everything in. Offer the wine or ink as a libation to this force—not to an entity, but to the Seed itself. Sit in stillness. Let it grow. It does not speak—it consumes noise. End the rite by wrapping the black cloth over your eyes and whispering:

“I carry the Seed. The Flame that is Not. The Sun that devours.”

Aftereffects:

• You may feel disoriented or heavy for a day

• Expect lucid dreams, symbol distortion, and brief ego disidentification

• Over time, clairvoyance and energetic gravitas deepen

• Can cause psychic repulsion of false people or “light-clingers”

• Use responsibly—this is deep magick, not aesthetic fluff

🌑Advanced Usage

Later, you can use the Black Sun Seed as an astral forging furnace-

• Birth servitors in it

• Burn away bindings

• Cast spells that unravel your target from the inside out

• Collapse false egos, personalities, or thought-forms you’ve outgrown

The seed is planted. Now let’s see what devours you first—or what you become once it does.

[a-typical]

“The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. In a cosmic perspective, most human concerns seem insignificant, even petty. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries about the Cosmos and our place within it, explorations that are exhilarating to consider. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. I believe our future depends on how well we know this Cosmos in which we float like a mote of dust in the morning sky.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

the people aren't ready to hear this but angelique arbitrarily picking quentin to decide to be in love with out of nowhere, bewitching roger into marriage and then absolutely not wanting him to touch her, and constantly pursuing men's (chiefly barn's) attention only when it's clear he doesn't want her, is soooo comp het of her.

✨Astro Insights✨

Taurus Rising

As Taurus Risings are ruled by Venus, they have an affinity for sensory experiences, especially smell and touch. For example they may love candles and making their homes smell good or have a collection of quality perfumes. In terms of touch, they might prefer clothes that feel good against their skin and feels comfortable. I also feel like Taurus Risings are the type of people who take their time in their morning routines with lathering themselves with body oils and moisturisers, and engaging in self-care activities. It's fabulous

Individuals with Taurus ascendant are known to have really pleasant speaking voices or musical talent. This is because Taurus governs the neck and throat, coupled by being earth signs, I feel like this placements may possess calming or sensual vocal qualities that people find attractive.

Sagittarius Moon

One thing I learnt with individuals who have Sagittarius moon in the 8th house, they may be introverted but when they speak about something they are passionate about, people are really drawn to them and their energy. This placement gives them a natural gift of learning about a specific topic and an adventurous spirit. While they may not frequently express their interests all the time, when they do, it tends to be magnetic.

However, it can also swing the other way and this placement might force their own beliefs onto others and lack self awareness, so they need be mindful of that.

✧ What Are the Platonic Solids?

The Foundations of Sacred Geometry

Platonic Solids are among the most revered and significant shapes. These five perfect polyhedra not only serve as the building blocks for understanding the geometric framework of the universe but also embody deep metaphysical principles that link the material and spiritual worlds. Known to philosophers, mathematicians, and mystics alike, these solids symbolize a profound connection between form, function, and the very fabric of existence.

What are the Platonic Solids?

A Platonic Solid is a three-dimensional shape that exhibits two defining characteristics:

Identical Faces: All faces of the shape are congruent, regular polygons.

Identical Angles and Edges: All the edges and angles of the polygons are equal.

In addition to this geometrical perfection, Platonic Solids share the remarkable trait that the same number of faces meet at each vertex. The harmony between these properties makes them unique, and only five solids meet these criteria. These five solids are:

Tetrahedron – 4 triangular faces

Cube (Hexahedron) – 6 square faces

Octahedron – 8 triangular faces

Dodecahedron – 12 pentagonal faces

Icosahedron – 20 triangular faces

The Role of the Platonic Solids in the Cosmos

These solids are not only geometrically important but were also infused with profound symbolism by ancient thinkers. The most significant influence comes from Plato, the Greek philosopher who first associated these shapes with the classical elements of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Aether. In his dialogue Timaeus, Plato posits that the elements of the physical world are composed of these perfect shapes, each associated with a different fundamental force or substance. Plato’s integration of geometry and cosmology would have far-reaching effects on subsequent philosophical and spiritual systems.

The Platonic Solids and their elemental associations are:

Tetrahedron – Fire

Cube (Hexahedron) – Earth

Octahedron – Air

Dodecahedron – Aether (Spirit)

Icosahedron – Water

Plato believed that these shapes represented the foundational substances from which all physical reality is derived. According to him, the Tetrahedron’s sharp edges were suited to represent Fire, the Cube’s stability mirrored the solid, grounded nature of Earth, and the Icosahedron’s fluidity corresponded to Water. The Octahedron, with its balanced symmetry, represented the breath of life, Air, while the Dodecahedron, with its celestial geometry, symbolized the etheric substance that filled the heavens.

Beyond Plato: The Platonic Solids in Ancient Mysticism

While Plato may have first outlined the connections between the Platonic Solids and the elements, the belief in their metaphysical properties goes back much further. The Pythagoreans, a religious and philosophical school that preceded Plato, already recognized the mystical importance of geometry and numbers in the divine order. The Pythagoreans believed that mathematics and geometry were not just tools for understanding the physical world but were the very means by which the cosmos expressed harmony and order.

The Platonic Solids also had an important role in alchemy, theosophy, and other esoteric systems. Alchemists used these shapes in their pursuit of transmutation and spiritual transformation, believing that by understanding the geometry of the elements, they could unlock hidden truths about the soul and the universe. For example, the Dodecahedron, often referred to as the "heavenly" shape, was associated with the fifth element—the Aether—and was believed to be the shape that structured the cosmos. It was the geometric representation of the heavens themselves, the divine ether from which all things emanated.

In the context of Kabbalah, the Platonic Solids are also integrated into the teachings of sacred geometry. The Tree of Life, which serves as the primary symbol in Kabbalistic teachings, can be thought of as a geometric model composed of spheres, lines, and, notably, polyhedral shapes that mirror the Platonic Solids. These solids reflect the interaction between the spiritual and material worlds, with each solid representing a particular level of consciousness or divine emanation.

The Platonic Solids as "Sacred" Geometry

The term Sacred Geometry refers to the use of geometric shapes and proportions to symbolize spiritual truths. The Platonic Solids are considered "sacred" because of their mathematical perfection and their association with cosmic principles. In a world full of imperfect, irregular forms, the Platonic Solids stand as idealized representations of divine order.

These shapes are also seen as fundamental archetypes that govern the physical and metaphysical realms. The belief that all matter and energy are derived from geometric patterns or forms is deeply rooted in many mystical and philosophical traditions. Modern-day spiritual practitioners continue to use the Platonic Solids in meditation, visualizations, and other metaphysical practices to align with divine proportions and cultivate harmony.

Why Are These Shapes So Important?

The symmetry and mathematical precision of the Platonic Solids point to an underlying principle of cosmic order. They represent the divine blueprint that structures the universe, offering a glimpse into how geometry reflects the divine laws that govern creation. The fact that these shapes are perfectly balanced—with equal faces, edges, and angles—symbolizes harmony and unity.

Moreover, each Platonic Solid corresponds to different aspects of human experience. For example, the Cube reflects the grounded and material aspects of existence, while the Icosahedron reflects the fluidity and adaptability of the emotional world. The Dodecahedron, as the most complex and spiritually significant, represents the connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

By studying the Platonic Solids, one begins to understand how the physical world and spiritual principles intertwine, making them essential for anyone interested in sacred geometry and its relationship to universal laws.
