Why is it that so many people need a guarantee that they'll be successful before they take action?

Can you eat a cake before it's baked?

Do farmers harvest their crops before they plant?

Is a painting beautiful before it's painted?

Can you drive a car before you add fuel?

The answer to all of these things is an obvious "No."

So why do you need the assurance that if you put in the work...

You'll get the result?

Are there going to be variations in the end result?

Sure.

Will you ever know exactly how things are going to turn out?

No.

But here's the truth...

Your inaction will guarantee that you will NEVER BE SUCCESSFUL.

Commit yourself to doing the work.

Commit yourself to the process of learning.

Commit yourself to becoming great.

Live by these commitments and never fucking quit.

That's the only way you'll guarantee your success.

Anyone else have beef with random historical figures for no good reason. Had to make a presentation about Augustine of Hippo once for a shitty college class but I hated the book we were learning from (see tags) so I associated the two together and now everytime I see his name I furrow my eyebrows and say "Augustine..." like he's my nemesis

JANUARY 1ST- JANUARY 8TH, 2024 | PREDICTIVE VEDIC ASTROLOGY

JANUARY 1ST- JANUARY 8TH, 2024 | PREDICTIVE VEDIC ASTROLOGY | PLANETARY PLACEMENTS

DATE: JANUARY 1ST, 2024 | VEDIC ASTRO | PLACIDUS | 12AM FULL VIDEO REPORT AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE & PATREON ...

LILITH RX (JANUARY1,2024) : LEO (19) 12TH HOUSE

I MAY BE BIASED WHEN I SAY THIS AND I WILL FOREVER SAY THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT VIEW LILITH AS AN ASTROLOGICAL GOVERNMENT OF MY INNATE AND ANIMALISTIC NATURE THAT HAS BEEN SUPRESSED OR DENIED FOR CONFORMITY. I HONOR LILITH AS MY SPIRTUAL MOTHER WHO FAITHFULLY  WATCHES, PROTECTS , LOVES AND TEACHES ME OF NOT ONLY WHO I TRULY AM BUT ALSO, ABOUT THE VAST WORLD OUTSIDE OF ME. LILITH RX IN LEO, IS LIKE MUFASA IN THE LION KING, TEACHING SIMBA ABOUT HIS TRUE POWER AND SOON TO BE REIGN OF THE PRIDE LANDS. MUFASA TAUGHT SIMBA STERNLY TO NEVER GO INTO THE DARK AREAS, WHERE THE SUN DOESN’T SHINE AND WITH LILITH RX IN THE 12TH HOUSE WHERE THERE ARE SHADOW AREAS AND HIDDEN ENEMIES LIKE HYENAS WAITING TO KILL, STEAL AND DESTROY YOU. FOR SOME OF YOU, YOUR PRIDE LAND IN ACTING, ENTERTAINMENT, DESIGN, SALES, POLITICS, MINISTRY, COMMUNICATIONS, MEDIA, MODELING, FASHION, AND OR ENTREPENUERSHIP. SOME OF YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE IN THE DARK OR TO DWELL WITH HYENEAS OR TO SERVE SCAR. SOME OF YOU ARE MEANT TO SHINE AND WITH LILITH RX IN LEO, YOU ARE LEARNING THIS AND BEING TAUGHT TO HANDLE THE SPOTLIGHT.

IC (JANUARY 1,2024): SAGITTARIUS (16) 4TH HOUSE

THIS PLACEMENT INTUITIVELY GIVES OFF THE ENERGY OF PAST LIVES AND DEEP-ROOTED FEARS PERTAINING TO THEM. THE 16TH DEGREE OF SAGITTARIUS INDICATES INFECTIONS, RESPIRATORY ISSUES, DROWNING, SMOKING AND AIR POLLUTION. KNOWING THAT SAGITTARIUS ENERGY LOVES TO TRAVEL AND DWELL WITHIN FORGIEN LANDS AND AMONGST FOREIGN PEOPLE AND THEIR CULTURES CAN FURTHER CONFIRM A FEAR OF TRAVELING WHICH I FIND FURTHER INTERESTING BECAUSE OF YOU MAY BE CALLED TO DO JUST THAT DURING THIS TIME, TRAVEL.  IF NOT, REFLECTING BACK ON THE LILITH RX IN LEO 12TH HOUSE PLACEMENT, YOU HAVE EXTREME PROTECTION AROUND YOU BECAUSE OF A PAST LIFE WHERE YOU TRAVELED INTO UNKNOWN LANDS AND A TRAGEDY OCCURRED.

VERTEX(JANUARY1,2024):  ARIES (0) 7TH HOUSE

WITH HEAVY CONSIDERATION FOR LILITH RX IN LEO AND THE IC IN SAGITARRIUS, IT WAS ALWAYS DESTINED FOR YOU TO BE THE GENERATIONAL CURSE BREAKER. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN DESTINED FOR YOU TO PAVE A NEW WAY AND WITH THAT THE HARDSHIPS YOU’VE UNDERGONE TO GET TO THIS POINT. WITH THE VERTEX IN ARIES AND AT ZERO DEGREES, THIS INDICATES A CLEAN SLATE. THIS FURTHER INDICATES A REBIRTH AND THE RENEWING OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. A NEW PATH HAS BEEN PAVED AND YOU ARE READY TO FINALLY EMBARK ON IT. IN TAROT THIS WOULD BE THE ACE OF WANDS, SWORDS, PENTACLES AND CUPS COMBINED TO DESCRIBE THIS PLANET AND THE ENERGY. EVERYTHING YOU WEREN’T BEFORE, YOU ARE NOW. YOU ARE ASSERTIVE, AMBITIOUS, HEADSTRONG, HONEST, OUTSPOKEN, ACTIVE AND PASSIONATE. YOU ARE A LEADER AND VIEWED AS SUCH IN THE 7TH HOUSE OF THEE PUBLIC. FOR SOME OF YOU, THIS INDICATES BEING THE FIRST IN YOUR FAMILY TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING WHETHER THAT BE GRADUATE COLLEGE, BECOME A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPENUER, ARTIST, AUTHOR, OR WEALTHY- YOU NAME IT. YOU ARE THE FIRST! IT IS AT THIS MOMENT THAT EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN THE PAST THAT ACTED AS HYENAS, HELLBENT ON STEALING, KILLING AND DESTROYING YOU WILL NOW BE DESPERATE TO BE IN YOUR LIFE OR HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. THE 7TH HOUSE DEALS WITH ENEMIES BUT ALSO CONTRACTS AND SPIRITUALLY- YOU HAVE BEEN FREED FROM ANY KARMIC TIES AND RELATIONS WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND OR LOVERS.

DESCENDANT (JANUARY 1,2024) : PISCES (14) 7TH HOUSE

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED CATCHING, LET ALONE HOLDING A FISH WITH YOUR BARE HANDS? IT’S IMPOSSIBLE, THE FISH WILL SLIP OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND GRAPS WITH EASE. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE SAYING “ BUTTER FINGERS”? WELL WITH THE DESCENDANT IN PISCES IN THE 7TH HOUSE OF RELATIONSHIPS, YOU ARE HARD TO GRAPS, PIN DOWN OR EVEN PREDICT. YOU ARE ELUSIVE IN THE EYES OF OTHERS, THERE ONE DAY AND GONE THE NEXT. I AM NOT SURE WHY I WANTED TO START OFF THIS INTERPREATION WITH  “ HAVE YOU HEARD” BUT CLEARLY THAT IS SYMBOLIC FOR HOW OTHERS WILL BE TALKING ABOUT YOU THESE DAYS. PEOPLE HAVE ONLY HEARD OF YOU, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW YOU AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL. PISCEAN ENERGY ABSORBS IT SURROUNDINGS WHICH IN MOST CASES IS TOXIC AND THIS ALWAYS CREATES TROUBLE THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO ONES HEALTH. WITH THAT IN MIND, YOU OR OTHERS HAVE TO BE WITHDRAWN, ALOOF AND DETACHED FROM MOST PEOPLE. LIKE FISHING, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO TRY TO DECIEVE FISH WITH BAIT ON A HOOK. IN RELATIONSHIPS, THAT IS HOW OTHERS VIEW & TREAT YOU- LIKE  A FISH THAT NEEDS TO BE CATCHED AND THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT, IS TO BE DECEPTIVE. CATCHING YOU WOULD ONLY BE SEEN AS A PRIZE OR FOOD TO OTHERS MEANWHILE, YOU GET ABUSED AND USED IN THE PROCESS. IT’S NOT WORTH IT! PISCES’ ENERGY IS SACRED AND THE 7TH HOUSE OF THE PUBLIC IS NOT.

ASCENDANT (JANUARY 1,2024) : VIRGO (14) 1ST HOUSE

AS FOREMENTIONED, THE DESCENDANT IN THE 7TH HOUSE WILL ALWAYS INFLUENCE THE ASCENDANT IN THE 1ST HOUSE. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I LEFT OFF WITH THE DESCENDANT IN PISCES THAT MOVING FORWARD IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CLOSE TO YOU EMOTIONALLY. WITH THE ASCENDANT IN VIRGO AT 14 DEGREES, WITHIN THE 2ND DECAN RULED BY SATURN- THIS MAKES ME STATEMENT TRUE. IT’S HARD ENOUGH GETTING PAST VIRGO ENERGY. JUST IMAGINE TRYING TO MIND F^%$ AND MANIPULATE JUDE JUDY, BUT THEN TO ADD A SATURIAN INFLUENCE AS WELL- ENERGETICALLY IT’S LIKE A BRICK WALL.  WITH THE ASCENDANT IN VIRGO IN THE 1ST HOUSE, YOU ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO READ, CONNECT WITH OR GET CLOSE TO. IT’S LIKE YOU HAVE SECURITY AROUND YOU ENERGETICALLY AT ALL TIMES. THE REASON FOR THIS THICK SHEILD IS TO PROTECT YOURSELF ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO OTHERS, IN ALL FORMS. THE 1ST HOUSE IS HOW YOU VIEW YOUR SURROUNDINGS MAINLY DUE TO THE DESCENDANT AND SO THE ASCENDANT CAN TRULY REVEAL HOW OTHERS VIEW YOU AND THESE DAYS YOU APPEAR FOCUSED, DETERMINED, AMBITIOUS, MATERIALISTIC, ORGANIZED, STRONG- WILLED, AND VERY OBSERVANT. I DID A WHY ARE THEY MAD READING FOR VIRGOS, AND I LITERALLY KEPT SAYING OTHERS ARE MAD BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO SMART. OTHERS VIEW YOU AS TOO SMART TO THE POINT YOU DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, LIKE AT ALL.

MIDHEAVEN ( JANUARY 1,2024) : GEMINI (16) 10TH HOUSE

IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING MY ASTROLOGY REPORTS IN ORDER, STARTING FROM LILITH RX IN LEO TO THE MIDHEAVEN IN GEMINI- FOR THOSE WHO NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR ENERGY, CONTENT, WORK, SKILL, OR SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE STARTING TO LOSE THEIR MOMENTUM, THEIR DRIVE, THEIR PULL, POPULARITY AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY WERE USING YOU FOR THAT GRANTED THEM SUCCESS. GEMINI, AT 16 DEGREES, DOESN’T HAVE A POWERFUL STIMULUS. SO BASICALLY, YOU ARE COMING OFF PLEASANT, OPTOMISTIC, AND SOCIAL BUT DUE TO THE VENUS INFLUENCE IN THE 2ND DECAN, YOU AREN’T GOING DEEP OR REVEALING TOO MUCH, YOU APPEAR TO BLEND IN. THIS IS GREAT BECAUSE YOU ARE NO LONGER EXERTING SO MUCH ENERGY, TIME, EFFORT, KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL INTO WORK OR PEOPLE THAT ISN’T PAYING YOU WHAT YOU DESERVE OR GIVING YOU WHAT YOU ARE REALLY WORTH AND SO YOU ARE RESORTING TO DOING THE BARE MINIMUM. IF YOU WORK A 9-5, INSTEAD OF BEING AN OVERACHIEVER, DOING MORE AND RECEIVING LESS- NOW YOU SIMPLY DO WHAT IS REQUIRED. NOTHING MORE OR LESS. IF YOU ARE AN ENTREPENUER, YOUA RE GIVING WHAT OTHERS HAVE PAID FOR AND NOTHING MORE UNLESS THEY PAY MORE. GEMINI ENERGY IS EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND INTELLIGENT AND KNOWLEDGE IS ABSOLUTE POWER, ESPECIALLY IN THE 10TH HOUSE OF CAREER, STATUS, SUCCESS, AND POWER. OTHERS NOW HAVE TO PAY YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ONCE  USED TO GAIN POWER.

PART OF FORTUNE ( JANUARY 1,2024) : CAPRICORN (16) 4TH HOUSE

THE MIDHEAVEN IN GEMINI WAS WITHIN THE DECAN RULED BY VENUS, AND I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS BEST FOR YOU TO BLEND INTO SOCIETAL NORMS AND EXPECTATIONS IN ORDER TO GAIN NOTERIETY IN YOUR CAREER. WHEN WE DO WELL IN OUR CAREERS IT ALSO TRINKLES INTO OUR PERSONAL, HOME LIVES. I MEAN, WHY ELSE DOES ANYONE WORK UNLESS, OF COURSE, IT’S THEIR PASSION? WE ALL WORK SO WE CAN MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN OUR PERSONAL LIVES AND IF WE HAVE SOME DISPOSABLE INCOME ONCE EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF, EVEN BETTER. THE PART OF FORTUNE IN ASTROLOGY IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LOTTERY AND EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH WINNING SUCH THINGS. IT APPEARS MY INTUITION WAS RIGHT WHEN I SAID TO BLEND INTO SOCIETAL NORMS BECAUSE THE PART OF FORTUNE IN CAPRICORN, AT 16 DEGREES, IS WITHIN THE 2ND DECAN ALSO RULED BY VENUS. VENUS ATTRACTS BUSINESS, MONEY, LOVE, CONTRACTS, AND OUR SUPERFICAL NEEDS AND WANTS. CAPRICORN ENERY RULER OF THE 10TH HOUSE IS ALL ABOUT SUCCESS, MONEY, STATUS, FAME AND ACHIEVEMENTS. IF WE PUT BOTH TOGETHER, THIS INDICATES A LOT OF ABUNDANCE AND SUCCESS COMING TOWARDS YOU GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR, THAT WILL LAST A LONG TIME WITH CAPRICORNS INFLUENCE. SPIRITUALLY, YOU ARE GOING INTO A CONTRACT WITH VENUS WHERE AGAIN, YOU WILL BE ATTRACTING A LOT OF SUCCESS, ABUNDANCE AND EVEN WEALTHY LOVE OFFERS.

Torture— Kingsley

Betrayal— René

OH THESE ARE FUN- I love that you just went straight for the juggular on these. Thanks for the ask!

torture: Has your OC ever been tortured? Would your OC ever torture someone else?

Kingsley had been tortured, but not necessarily in the way you think? At the very least I think it consistutes as torture.

Forced isolation and repeated over-exertion are the two things that immediately come to mind. The former being "discipline" from his parents, the later being "training" to become stronger.

I think Kingsley, especially freshman year, would torture someone? And I definitely can see that being challenged though when he starts being surrounded by people who challenge his upbringing.

betrayal: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?

OKAY STRAP IN. THIS ONE IS A DOOZY.

So let me give you so much needed context. René's father, Aldrich Lamar, is an incredibly successful entrepenuer and CEO of a business (TBD) of which he uses his own connections and René's charisma, skills, and magical abilities to further his gains. One such network connection is a business rivalry with the mother of Rémi Delune (the white swan expy). They are constantly putting their children in questionable circumstances, especially where beaucratic bs is involved. So as a child, René was raised to believe the only acceptable version of themself was the version their father created.

As children, Rémi and René assumed that they were friends, as many children do. Except René had been raised to believe they had to lie to both Rémi and their friend Eve (Seigfried expy) about their interests, opinions, hobbies. Basically anything that would allow René to get closer to them regardless of their true feelings. And even if they weren't doing this because their father said so, they really didn't know how else they were supposed to get along with people. But over time... they start to notice that Eve and Rémi are much closer to each other, and not to them, and they start to wonder if its because they arent being truthful, like the other two are. So... they try. They try to be authentic, and its unpracticed, and messy, and honestly off-putting in a lot of ways. And it starts driving them away more than their original demeanor had.

While I haven't sorted out all of the details, essentially, a magical contractual agreement or oath is made involving Rémi and Eve, and out of their failure to understand why they dislike René so much, they discover their UM - Oathbreaker, which can break a magical contract of a spell of equal or lesser value - by shattering the agreement that had been made by the two of them. And as you can guess, this destroys their trust in René and seriously hurts Rémi both physically and emotionally.

I know theres a lot of work I need to do in order to take the idea threads and make them work cohesively here? But this is the sort of rough draft start that I have. So... please be mindful that if it sounds rough around the edges, I'm working on it. 😅

ana de armas + she/her + cis-woman  –  have you seen magdelena "lena" ibarra around los angeles? the thirty three year old is usually jamming to daddy lessons by beyonce ft. the chicks. word around the city is that they’re determined yet, they can also be snarky, but you didn’t hear that from me. they’re currently an executive assistant  and are typically seen walking the streets of los angeles with their favorite daily planner. when i think of them, i think of color coded schedules, beer bottles with peeled off labels and riding a motorcycle in heels. let’s hope the city treats them good! 

penned by nika ✨

basics →

name: magadelena "lena" ibarra age: thirty-three gender & pronouns: cis-woman, she/her birthday: october 17, 1989 hometown: miami, fl current residence: los angles, ca current occupation: executive assistant romantic orientation: hetero-romantic sexual orientation: straight relationship status: single as a pringle

fun facts →

likes: dogs, thai food, rock music, country music, reading, color coded planners & organization, anything that makes her heart race, proving people wrong dislikes: cats, rap music, cuban sandwhiches, know it alls, chocolate cake, peppermint prized possessions: her motorcycle, daisy & her first edition copy of the scarlet letter wouldn't be caught dead without: her planner, a pen, and a bag of mike and ikes

background →

magdelena ibarra--lena, as she would be known-- was born to Selena & Raul Ibarra as their only daughter. Only child, which was in stark contrast to the dreams that had held for their family. They had been envisioning a dynasty, one that could stand the test of times--and trends--to remain on top. selena was a former singer turned entrepenuer who created the nation's first fair-paying streaming service, melodia. it had taken the industry like wildfire and while it had not surpassed spotify, it absolutely held a name for itself. raul had been her manager in her younger days--a rare case of when a working relationship could transition flawlessly into true love. lena, despite the parentage she had, was hardly musical. she couldn't hold a beat, had no idea how to read music and couldn't understand rhythm for the life of her. her parents weren't sure where they went wrong, but always tried to love her regardless. er, well they always loved her--but sometimes, well, it was hard to celebrate a daughter that couldn't carry the family talent. most especially for selena, who always envisioned doing a comeback tour with her daughter at her side. the last chance for lena to make her family proud was becoming the next ceo for melodia--and boy did her parents know it, at every turn, she was enrolled in business classes. young entreupener programs. internships for middle schoolers. even a business camp to support the up and coming. and boy did lena hate it. for how type a and organized she was, she couldn't stand how her parents aimed to control her. she was a free spirit, an adreneline junkie--she needed to chart her own path. she flat out rejected their offers, and begrudgingly went to the things she couldn't escape. but at 18, she determined that her life was hers and hers alone--and she would not let her parents make her a puppet. dramatic? sure, but that was lena ibarra--if she could have carried a tune, broadway would be shaking in their kinky boots. so off she went, far from miami and the comfort of her family, to los angeles, where celebrities were a dime a dozen and no one would give a shit what the last name ibarra was. she applied for any posiiton she could find at a record studio--only because she did know the industry but not because she felt it would be her calling, finally working her way up to executive assistant to the president. no one would even bat an eye at her, for how unimportnat her position was. just how she liked it.

The best way to damage those who are against you is to become greater than the negative stereotypes. Being Black and educated with moral standards and values is something that racists hate most. Black wealth is a power tool because many become foolish consumers who enrich their oppressors while making themselves poor.

Being a retired wholesale banker 99% of the invented white race is in debt, many borrow money from venture capitalists to start a business and Black People need to do the same. We need to stop spending our hard earned dollars on people who hate us, and call us poor as they depend greatly on the Black Dollars.

We need to build our own schools and invest in our people to become entrepenuers and free thinkers, we need to build our own hospitals and start factories in Africa and Haiti. We can do a lot if we work together.
