hi i just wanted to say i love your writing so much and thank you for all that you do!! i’m not sure if your requests are open but i would love melissa coming home from a brunch with barb and accidentally hearing readers angelic voice for the first time. like saturn by sza on blast while cleaning or something

this one was like genuinely just inserting myself into this story... i loved writing this short little ditty.

Sing Me a Melody

“I’ll be back, babe,” Melissa tells you as she presses a kiss to your head. You’re still laying in bed, but she’s up and about getting ready to head to brunch with Barbara. The two had invited you along, but you politely declined. You’ve been drained lately, and your body is craving the sleep that it’s been missing out on lately.

“Sounds good,” you reply softly, eyes half open. “If you need me to come pick the two of you up again-” 

“This place does not have bottomless mimosas,” your girlfriend smirks. “I already checked.”

“Still,” you chuckle.

The last time the two work wives had gone out to brunch, they accidentally picked a place that offered bottomless drinks, and… you got a call around one from the place, claiming that you had to come pick the two up or they would be arrested for public intoxication.

Of course, you were their knight in shining armor, but you could hear the way that Melissa was protesting being ‘thrown out of the restaurant’.

“Honey,” you had tried to explain to her so many times. “They aren’t kicking you out. They’re closing, and they’re helping you by not throwing you out onto the street to get arrested.”

She had huffed the entire way home, and Barbara couldn’t help but laugh at how ridiculous her friend was being- it reminded her of the way her kindergarteners act when they didn’t get their way.

Once they both sobered up at your place, they were beyond hungover. They claimed they were never drinking again- until the next time. But they vowed that they would never go to a bottomless mimosa place again unless you were there to supervise (which would also lead you to get heavily intoxicated, and then all three of you were hungover as hell after breakfast).

After Melissa leaves, you sigh. You should probably be getting up for the day, but you really would rather be lounging around and doing nothing all day. So you stay in bed for a bit longer, scrolling through the different social media apps that you have on your phone. It’s nearing noon when you decide to finally get out of bed and become a functioning human of society. 

You roll out of bed and throw on Melissa’s sweatshirt that she wore to bed last night, loving that it still smells like her. You ball up the ends and hold them tight as you make your way into the living room and kitchen. You pull up Spotify and put up your playlist that has soft music. You reach for your coffee mug, loving that there is already warm coffee in the pot. You pour yourself a generous amount before fixing it to your liking. That first sip is perfect, warming your cold body- the knowledge that Melissa had prepared that pot of coffee warms your heart and your soul.

You curl up on the couch with your mug and a good book, fully planning on catching up on your book while your girlfriend is out for the day. You get about four pages in before you realize that you just can’t focus with the music playing quietly from the television. You reach for the remote and turn of the device before cozying back up with your book.

Still though, you can’t focus. You’ve read the same page four times, and you still haven’t taken in the information on the page. So, with a frustrated sigh, you put your bookmark in and close the worn book that you borrowed from the library.

You don’t really know what else to do, so you sit on your phone for a bit longer and scroll mindlessly through TikTok. But eventually, that becomes boring to you too.

You have papers that you could continue to grade, so you huff as you go back up to the bedroom and grab your school bag filled to the brim with essays to grade.

You get through about half before you’re beyond frustrated. You have no idea what you’re supposed to do while you wait for Melissa to come home- the two of you have plans to curl up on the couch and watch a movie when she gets home, so you don’t want to start watching television now. But then you remember that Melissa has a guitar that she keeps in the living room, mostly for decoration. You haven’t played guitar in years… but maybe?

You quit when after… well, it doesn’t quite matter. He’s long gone, and you thought your love of creating music was too. The point is, you haven’t picked up a guitar or thought about playing in so long.

Curious about your ability after years of not playing, you cross the room and pick up the guitar. Looking at it, the strings are somehow not rusted, the neck seems to be in the right place, and there are no cracks in the body. You strum it, and it’s terribly out of tune.

Taking it back to the couch with you, you tune it up quickly and strum again. It sounds beautiful.

Muscle memory takes over, and while your fingers are going to be shredded after digging the tips of your fingers into the strings without any calluses, you feel somewhat healed being able to play again. You go up and down the neck, fingers strumming and picking different melodies that you remember.

You clear your throat before softly beginning to hum the melody of the song to the tune that you’re playing.

Eventually, you start singing freely- playing some oldies, some of the newer songs you know, playing around with songs that you’ve heard on the radio that are simple enough to break down into basic chords that you can sing over, and even just fully starting to sing songs that you’re making up on the spot.

You used to love writing music. It used to be the thing that you were most passionate about- but he took that love with him. You really should start writing down the lyrics and music that you’re making up.

You settle for singing a few of the old songs that you had written, and you get so into the music that you don’t hear the door open.

Melissa makes her way in, full from brunch and expecting to see you on the couch with your book in your hands, when she hears a melody and a voice that she’s never heard before- it’s beautiful. It doesn’t sound like it’s coming from the television or from the speaker on your phone. She steps into the living room to see you sitting criss crossed with the decorative guitar that she keeps. You look angelic, the light hitting your face as you have your eyes closed and you’re singing from the heart.

She had no idea you could play. She had no idea you could sing. She sets her purse down silently, eyes never leaving you. The redhead sits quietly, absolutely enamored with your voice and hidden talent.

Only once you’re done singing one of the songs you had written in college does she make her presence known, applauding you. Your eyes snap open, and your face immediately flushes red. You had no idea she was there, much less heard you sing.

“Hun,” she breathes. “Holy shit.”

You bite your lip and tuck your hair behind nervously. You have no idea what she’s about to say. Is she going to yell at you for touching the decoration? “Yeah?”

“When the hell were you going to tell me about this?”

“I- uh,” you shrug. “About what?”

She gestures to the instrument in your hand. “That. I had no idea you could play.”

“I didn’t either?” you smile nervously.

“I’m callin’ bullshit on that one. I mean, I knew you had could kind of hold a tune with all of your humming to the radio, but… babe, you sound like an angel.”

Your blush only gets worse at her sweet words. “I’m not that good.”

“You are,” she insists. “What song were you singing?”

“I don’t know it’s name,” you tell her honestly.

She makes a face. “What do you mean you don’t know the song’s name? It’s clear you know the song very well.”

You scratch the back of your neck. You suppose with two secrets out- that you can sing and play guitar, you should admit this one too. “I don’t know the name of the song because… I wrote it and never gave it a name.”

Her eyes go comically wide, and her jaw drops. “You wrote that?!”

“Y-yeah?”

“Honey, that’s something I would hear on the radio!” she exclaims. “Why aren’t you a famous singer/songwriter?”

“Not in the cards for me,” you chuckle nervously. “My heart belongs with the kids.”

She shakes her head. “How long have you been playing?”

“I started when I was four… but I haven’t played or sung in years. Lost… my passion for it,” you frown a bit. “But uh, that felt nice. Sorry I touched your guitar without asking first.”

“Hun, if I had known you could play, I would’ve been begging you to play it for the last two years.”

“It’s been longer than two years since I’ve played,” you shrug. “I didn’t know I could still play like that.”

“What other secret talents do you have?” she teases.

You purse your lips as you think, plucking the strings absentmindedly to create a beautiful little lick. “I can play the uke, I write songs when I’m feeling inspired, I used to paint a lot… I can make balloon animals and juggle?” you chuckle softly. “And I used to do gymnastics… was pretty damn good at it too.”

“I think you’re more mysterious than I am,” Melissa laughs. “Damn, babe. I won the lottery with you.”

“I wouldn’t say that.” You roll your eyes.

“I did,” she tells you seriously as she picks herself up and settles on the couch near you. “Sing to me?”

“I thought we were gonna watch a movie when you got home,” you tell her quietly.

She hums. “We can watch a movie after I’ve listened to you for a while… I mean it when I say you got a voice on you. I wanna hear it.”

You spend almost the whole day singing to her- all of the songs that you know, all the songs that you’ve written, and just little melodies that you come up with in the moment. Your fingers are shredding and aching by the time you put down the instrument, but it’s worth it to see the relaxed smile on your girlfriend’s face.

After you put down the guitar, you curl into her arms and watch the movie that you were promised. She falls asleep halfway through. You find yourself looking longingly at the guitar, and by the time she’s woken up, you’ve written another song- one about her: Redheaded Angel.

Transiting Mars enters Virgo

Tuesday, June 17 - Wednesday, August 6, 2025

The main thing I want everyone to take away from this, is that - especially during the first 10 days of this transit - it’s an excellent time to start building our skills (Virgo) with Mars’ stuff. If we can take a disciplined, patient approach, always building on our progress, we’ll have so much to show for it come August.

Mars in Virgo can be Mars on a health kick, or Mars as Mr. Fix-It. Knowing our own personal Mars weakness is usually pretty easy (it’s the most straightforward planet). So let’s work on that!

Most of the problems we run into with Mars in this sign, are the same as with Mars in any other Mutable sign: distractability, scattering our efforts, and good old commitment-phobia.

Physical strength - focusing on a fitness regimen which emphasizes flexibility is ideal. We’re looking to become healthier, not necessarily body builders.

Energy levels - can fluctuate; I think wrapping our heads around that truth, and learning to work with it, can be useful. If you’re too tired out, who else can get it done?

Sexuality - don’t know how you all feel, but finding someone who’s detail-oriented and precise in this department, would be heavenly.

How we go after what we want - always a plan! Or several plans; or a very detailed, scripted, careful plan. Can be excellent for learning more and better strategies. Maybe download a chess app?!

Allow a few days on either side of these dates:

Thursday, June 19 - Friday, June 27:

Mars/Virgo inconjunct Saturn/Aries, 1°29’

Mars/Virgo inconjunct Neptune/Aries, 2°07’

Mars/Virgo sextile Jupiter/Cancer, 2°52’

Mars/Virgo inconjunct Pluto Rx/Aquarius, 3°18’

Mars/Virgo sextile Sun/Cancer, 5°14’

Mars/Virgo sextile Vesta/Scorpio, 6°04’

This is the situation which sets up the entire transit. There are a couple of things going on. First, Mars is the apex of a Yod, inconjunct Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and Pluto Rx/Aquarius. Events in the wider world force us into new/different ways of acting (Mars).

The second thing is Mars at the midpoint of a trine between the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer, and Vesta in Scorpio - energy just begging to be dedicated to something. Part of this process of honing a more skillful Mars, should be directed at building better boundaries.

Saturday, July 5 - Monday, July 7:

Mars/Virgo (10°42’) sesquiquad Eris/Aries (25°42’)

Mars/Virgo (11°56’) sesquiquad Chiron/Aries (26°56’)

A Sag Moon is going to aggravate this one. Maybe we haven’t progressed as far, or as rapidly, as we wanted to. “Rome wasn’t built in a day” and all that - be patient and keep working.

Friday, July 11 - Mars/Virgo inconjunct Ceres/Aries, 14°10’. Mars and Ceres are in each other’s signs, strengthening the energy. Don’t let “perfect” be the enemy of “good enough.”

Tuesday, July 15 - Thursday, July 17:

Mars/Virgo sextile Juno/Scorpio, 16°17’

Mars/Virgo (17°45’) sesquare Pluto Rx/Aquarius (2°45’)

The next two “situations” bring relationships into the picture. Here, we’re happy to be helpful and cooperative - but there’s an undercurrent; we’re a little suspicious, or the other person is. Be honest and work past/through it.

Monday, July 21 -

Mars/Virgo inconjunct Pallas Rx/Aquarius, 19°59’

Mars/Virgo opposite North Node/Pisces, conjunct South Node/Virgo, 20°45’

Mars/Virgo square Venus/Gemini, 21°01’

The most likely scenario here is commitment-phobia. A past relationship we should have let go of a long time ago? Someone from the past wanting to get things rekindled? A little gender confusion? Remember your sense of humor - try not to take things so seriously.

Wednesday, July 30 -

Mars/Virgo inconjunct Eris Rx/Aries, 25°43’

Mars/Virgo inconjunct Chiron Rx/Aries, 27°10’

Ending the transit uncomfortably, alas, but that’s part of the process. It isn’t enough to merely learn something; we have to maintain it, too. And a Mars which has learned a little humility - in lieu of its usual abarasiveness - will be able to keep going and accomplish much more than a hot-headed oaf.

Arudha Lagna: How To Find It - Part 3 -Signs' Battle and Shortcuts

The Signs' Strength Identification Procedure

Now, you have found out your case does not correspond to any of the previous conditions in Part 2 and Part 1: you need to check which sign is stronger than the other. Here are the rules with the same example (Scorpio Lagna) as before:

If Mars is in Scorpio or Aries, e.g, in its own sign, but not Ketu, then, Mars gets stronger.

But! 😱 If nor Mars, neither Ketu does not respect the above mentioned condition, and Mars is conjoined Jupiter and/or Mercury, then, Mars gets stronger than Ketu.

But!! 😱😱 If your case does not apply above again, then, check the signs: dual signs are stronger than the fixed signs which are stronger than the moveable signs. Ketu in Leo (fixed sign) becomes stronger than Mars in Libra (moveable sign).

But!!! 😱😱😱 If Mars and Ketu sit in the same category of sign, let's say, Mars sits in Libra while Ketu sits in Cancer. Libra and Cancer are both moveable signs. What to do? Well.....

I don't know. 😐️

The Shortcuts

I am far from being an extraordinary expert in astrology. I consider myself as an eternal student. Knowledge in astrology is so vast it is beyond our imagination. However, I can still give you a hint if you arrived to this last step without a clear answer, or, if it is just still confusing in your mind and you want a shortcut. You can download Jagannatha Hora software for free, on windows. You go to "Preferences", then "Related to Calculations", after that, you click on "Arudha Pada Calculation Options", then you choose "Use exceptions in bhava arudha padas" and "Use exceptions in graha arudha padas". Finally, you tick "Use Rahu and Ketu when stronger". And the software will find what planet is stronger than another, that is to say, if Ketu gets stronger than Mars in this example: it will directly show you the "right" Arudha Lagna. Or, you can download "Jyotish App" on your phone: you go to "Settings", then you click "Arudha Options", you select "Based on Rashi", you tick "Use exceptions in Bhava Arudha calculations" as well as "Consider Rahu and Ketu as lords of Kumbha and Vrishchika when they are stronger than Saturn and Mars". This app follows Dr B.V Raman's method here, so you can not go wrong.

Why Do All These Exceptions Matter?

You might wonder, why one has to follow all these tedious exceptions and conditions. Some astrologers just do not use most of the conditions mentioned above. For example, some will not apply the house placement exceptions, such as Lagna Lord being in the 1st house, then the arudha lagna will go to the 10th, instead, they will just use the 1st house as the Arudha Lagna. They all have their reasons that I respect. As for me, I would rather like to use Sanjay Rath Ji's view with all these exceptions because it respects the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra's text and I trust his translation. I use the "Treatise on Jaimini Sutras" by Somanatha regarding the evaluation on the strength of planets and signs as it seems clearer to me. I might change my mind in the future but I stick to this method until now. This is just my choice. I encourage everyone to research on their own and form their own opinion through their experience. So, please, do, and let’s share what we find together.

[theshipsong]

heyo, Kat! this might seem random (or not! been looking at you astrology research with deep interest), but do you have any sources you can recommend to learn better about astrology and decoding natal charts specifically? the differing info online has been. a little confusing.. (no worries if not, 🫰)

i've been waiting for anyone to justify me posting such a thing

first of all! for beginners i think the best chart generator is astro-seek.com because its by-placement planet/sign/house interpretations aren't shabby at all. i also recommend ignoring uranus–pluto at first just to avoid getting overwhelmed, my medieval/traditional agenda aside

secondly i like whole sign houses in large part because that's what people used before like, the 17th century so what this means on astro-seek is opening extended settings and selecting "Whole sign" and "Uranus-Pluto OFF" (ignore the sidereal thing)

books

astrology for yourself by demetra george/douglas bloch is something i wish i'd known about when i was starting. it's a paper workbook just like in elementary school where you pencil in information about your own chart. it's so cute and not actually for children but i find it so nostalgic

astrology: understanding the birth chart by kevin burk is really the only "cookbook" type i still reach for because he's so concise without losing out on information, very focused on essential dignity (the concept for interpreting the "strength" and "favor" of placements) and the relationships of the planets, elements, modes

i haven't read it in full but afaik chani nicholas's you were born for this is super approachable and only focuses on the big three (+ chart ruler), which is a good starting place to see just how deep each part of the chart gets

i have astrology for yourself as a pdf i can send anyone

online/apps

i say astro-seek but personally use astro.com, my settings there include uranus–pluto and the fixed stars

the first 12ish episodes of kirah tabourn's podcast the strology show are fantastic. one episode per each of the planets, then they go through the signs by element. it's so approachable and her guests make the vibes so good. it's the perfect cardio listen

i kinda don't love chani nicholas as just like The face of nuwoo capitalism but hers is the only astrology mobile app that defaults to whole sign houses

but i strongly recommend the books! the BOOKS. and really learning your chart first (i like drawing them crudely by hand!) and then maybe an older celebrity or dead author (to guarantee a different saturn sign, i know bertolt brecht and nick cave's really well; for this astrodatabank) and deadass the way to learn the glyphs is sailor moon

Simple Astrological Remedies for Landing Your Dream Job!

A person is born with many skills. But Universe has fixed a particular timing of showing your skills which will be beneficial for you in form of good job, career and gains in that timing.

Dasha is the most important factor which tells that universe is calling you for which purpose. If you will go in that direction with right intention, paitence and hard work then universe will support you fully to that field.

I will explain it through famous Indian Bollywood celebrity chart, Shahrukh Khan-

(His Astro Chart- Pic credit- AstroSage App)

1-When he was going through Rahu mahadasha-

His rahu is sitting in 10th house of career and hard work. The lord of 10th house is sitting in 5th house which is Venus(planet of creativity and arts). He worked hard in field of creativity at that time.He debuted his acting career and worked in many television serials.

2-When his Jupiter Mahadasha came-

His Jupiter is sitting in 11th house of gains and all wishes. He won big awards. He bought his dream house Mannat during that dasha.

Jupiter is also aspecting Venus which is enhancing it's qualities of creativity and arts. He joined main stream bollywood and acted in many movies and gave super hit movies during this dasha.

Jupiter is also aspecting 7th house of business and legal partnership. So, he also founded his own production house I.e Red Chilli Entertainment with his wife.

3-When his Saturn Mahadasha came-

His Saturn is sitting in 7th house of business and legal partnership in its own sign of Aquarius. During that time his company Red Chilli Entertainment had already produced or co-produced at least nine films. He teamed up with a UAE based real estate firm with his wife Gauri for a residential complex right in front of the beach in Dubai.

As Saturn was also aspecting Mars from it's 10th aspect. Mars represent sports also.Therefore he also purchased Cricket team of Indian Premier League (IPL).

Because his 10th lord(the house of career) is sitting in 5th house(the house of creativity).

Remember, important in his journey is that he is working in the field of creativity. He had expanded all his business with the help of his creative and artistic skills(acting).

This shows that one should choose career field according to his/her 10th lord placement but should use that skill in that field only whose planetary dasha is going on.

[omghallucinations]

wooyoung is confirmed virgo rising ! i feel like he has been branded as libra rising on this app for years but i am ready for us to analyze him with that virgo rising because it changes so much . also that’s why i came to you because i love your analysis takes and i would love to hear what you have to say 😖❤️

ahh thank u!! ❤️❤️ and oh nice nice nice, has he shared his exact birth time?? I'm excited omg. last I heard it was around 2am--it goes from virgo to libra at about 2:16am.

virgo rising venus in the first house (2am-2:15am) seems like it fits well for him. also gemini mc in the uranus decan??? true.

mercury-ruled (... his speech patterns... very clear... born to yap)

when you do wooyoung's dispositor chart (which planets rule other planets), his mercury is deeply not an acting planet and it's not on an angle or prominent house or anything so it makes sense for him to be virgo rising so that his born to yap can rise

i have said this, i will always say this: virgo rising is a weirdo freak placement!!!! don't be fooled by the virgo of it all!! they are deeply strange lovable freaks!!!

extremely prominent venus-- venus at home in libra, venus in the first house, virgo ascendant in the venus decan (many libra rising qualities so easy to mistake for a libra rising, is not a libra rising)

strong sense of service or duty--virgo risings are tsundere kind and thoughtful imo, but like... shy about showing it unless they have placements that counteract this

life journey has an angle of like.. .figuring out what things are actually important in your life and knuckling down and doing something with that--virgo takes ideas (leo/5th house) and learns to turn the ideas into real shit and communicate to others in a way that is helpful for the world (libra/7th house) -- it's also about taking the ego (leo/5th house) and getting real, reality check, ur not a god, ur just a person, ur not uniquely bad or uniquely good, as the the wheel moves from the self to the other (7th house/libra)

also this is the same rising as san, so they have similar journeys and ways of approaching the world--that plus the cancer sun to cancer moon reflection really would fast track that connection I think (mercury is speedy speedy, zoom from acquaintances to eternal friendship tattoos seems... so true...)

his chart ruler would be his scorpio mercury in the 2nd house in the jupiter decan. I think of it like... scorpio with a some taurus flavor and some sagittarius flavor.

it makes a lot of sense to me--he seems like he is actually pretty sensible but also kind of... pessimistic? self-sabotaging? self-critical? underneath the song and dance he does to entertain people/entertain himself/conceal himself/for the lols. also impatient, mercury-ruled. so scorpio mercury, intense and honest and hates when people try to pull one over on him with a sagittarius flavor (absolutely insane) and a taurus foundation (honest, practical, STUBBORN).

also scorpio and virgo are both deeply karmic signs and are about... getting real lmao. virgo, as seen above, and scorpio, facing up to the dark shit, the war between compulsive habits and soul need to uproot and transform (thus getting rid of those comforting compulsive habits, which is very scary, scorpio usually has a lot of back and forth about this)

his angles (asc, dsc, ic, mc) would be in a mutable cross--this is tricky bc not all of his planets (actually very few, just the sun and pluto) are mutable. cardinal planets (cancer moon, capricorn mars, libra venus, aries jupiter) feel frustrated and like they're not able to move as fast/decisively as they want. the fixed planets (scorpio mercury, aquarius neptune and uranus, taurus saturn) feel freaked out by the amount of change the mutable cross brings, they feel anxious and unstable and defensive.

the mutable cross with non-mutable planets makes wooyoung a little easily influenced by circumstances, moods, other people, and a hard time anchoring things down. stress!!

speaking of karmic shit wooyoung's most prominent chart pattern is the yod (the green and pink triangle). this is his chart with very tight aspects and the yod jumps out still--then his chart with only quincunxes and sextiles, and u can see... the several yod. like 3 yods and the moon and pluto are in 2 of them.

the classic yod thing is being like... people's reactions to you do not fit what you feel like you're putting out. people are gonna react weird to you. you are on a Karmic Journey to deal with some probably ancestral Shit and that activates stuff for people. you personify something for your family that they've been struggling with/denying for generations probably so your childhood can be difficult and leave you feeling really alone or misunderstood. wooyoung is self-centred in many ways because he kind of has to be. he has a lot of shit to untangle bro!! look at the heavy bottom half of his chart, look at his 8th house, virgo and scorpio, 4th house, yods up the ass, 29° mars, there's a lot here! as a multiple yod bitch, who also has 4th and 8th house, 29° and virgo and scorpio shit, i am so self-centred in many ways bc... i am tryna deal with... my shit.... so i get it. sometimes you've got a big part of ur life journey to untangle your own neuroses and family baggage and that requires self-focus, not in a malicious way, you're not out to hurt people, it just is what it is. it also doesn't mean you can't be kind and giving and of service in other ways, people are complicated!

wooyoung is one of the most misread idols imo (at least of idols i know and whose charts i've looked at), people can be really harsh about him. all of his yods--he's kind of a lightning rod. he doesn't do himself any favors probably, but he's doing the best he can i think, just has kind of a lot of baggage to work through.

[galacticfoundation]

Heya... Mars here. This is a little awkward, but Miss Cynthia seems to think it's a good idea, so... FAQ??

Q: Team Galactic? The doomsday cult?

A: It's not a cult anymore! We've been busting our butts in that court mandated therapy!

Q: Why are you still around?

A: We just want to fix things. The Champion and Cynthia did a really big favor, keeping us out of Forever Jail. Plus, some of us didn't have anywhere else to go. There's only about... 33 of us now?

Q: Why is Mars running this shebang? Wasn't she like, bottom of the totem pole.

A: Rude. But true. Saturn is technically in charge, but he's... not been doing too well. Can't blame him, really. It's a miracle he lasted this long. Jupiter went to Hoenn to work at some space place because we kind of ran out of money. So that leaves little old Mars! Jupiter thinks shes superior still, but I'm not the one with a live in Interpol agent.

Q: What do you even do?

A: Classic community service stuff. Also, working on reuniting stolen Pokémon. And cleaning up the lakes after the whole bomb thing. That was Jupiters idea, by the way. NOT mine. Oh, and about half the grunts have day jobs, for previously stated broke reasons. Saturn does some online coding stuff that I don't understand in the slightest.

Q: Is Cyrus alive?

A: I don't know.

cassini starts another blog, part... 11??? main blog @plasmaapologist blah blah blah. i could use this app to get an autism diagnosis i think

this blog is based on an au of my own dppt interpretation/au. it is canon based but not compliant. ye have been warned. blog will deal with heavy topics from time to time, all will be tagged

- the plot was that of platinum, for the most part

few things to note:

- this blog takes place very closely after dppt. only the events of kanto, johto, and hoenn have happened. asks relating to things in the other games will be answered, but will likely be met with confusion

- the start of this blog is 5-6 months after the events of the game

- charon does not exist. hes stupid and i dont like him. 👎

- lucas is the champion, dawn is the professors assistant

- dawn is probably one of my most heavily headcanoned characters. just a warning ♡

- despite being based on platinum, lucas failed to capture giratina. he later gained the trust of dialga, though their relationship is more of friends than pokemon and master.

- mars and saturn genuinely have good intentions. however please feel free to accuse them of otherwise. (jupiters only acting good to stay out of jail)

reoccurring characters blah blah blah. you know them but i thrust my headcanon upon ye

mars: she/her, 20. main poster. interim leader while saturn recovers. trying her best

saturn: he/him, 26. may occasionally post. not currently acting as leader after a mental breakdown, but still handles finances and does announcements when he can.

jupiter: she/her, 28. currently working at mossdeep space center in hoenn under the very careful eye of interpol. she never actually cared about team galactic, but its keeping her out of jail...

How to Read Transits in Your Chart: Unlocking the Power of Planetary Movements

Introduction

In astrology, transits are like the current weather of the cosmos—they indicate the ongoing movements of planets and how these movements affect your birth chart. Understanding transits can help you navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and align your actions with the rhythms of the universe. Whether you're planning a new venture, wondering about a relationship, or seeking clarity about your life's direction, reading transits offers deep insight into the timing and nature of events in your life.

What Are Transits in Astrology?

Transits refer to the current positions of planets as they move through the sky in real-time. These movements are analyzed in relation to the fixed positions of the planets in your natal chart—the snapshot of the sky at your birth. When a transiting planet forms an angle (known as an aspect) to a planet in your birth chart, it triggers a particular energy or theme in your life. These transits can be short-lived (like the Moon, which changes signs every 2.5 days) or long-term (like Saturn or Pluto, which may influence your chart for months or years).

How to Read Transits in Your Birth Chart:

Know Your Natal Chart:

Before diving into transits, you need a copy of your natal chart, which includes the zodiac positions of all the planets at your birth. You can generate your chart using free astrology websites by entering your birth date, time, and location.

Identify the Current Transits:

Use a transit chart or an ephemeris to track where the planets are currently. These tools show which signs and degrees each planet occupies today.

Compare Transiting Planets to Natal Planets:

The heart of transit interpretation lies in observing how the moving planets interact with your natal ones. Look for major aspects such as:

Conjunction (0°): Intensifies the energy

Square (90°): Brings tension and challenge

Trine (120°): Brings harmony and ease

Opposition (180°): Creates a need for balance or confrontation

Consider the Houses Involved:

Each house in your chart represents an area of life. When a planet transits a house or aspects a planet in a house, it influences that particular life domain—such as career, love, health, or finances.

Note the Nature of the Planet:

The meaning of the transit also depends on the planet involved. For example:

Mercury transits bring communication themes.

Venus transits affect love and money.

Saturn transits can bring challenges and growth through discipline.

Uranus transits invite sudden change and awakening.

Conclusion

Learning to read transits in your chart empowers you to become more aligned with cosmic timing. It helps you prepare for life’s ups and downs with greater awareness and intention. While transits don’t control your fate, they illuminate the energetic backdrop against which your free will plays out. By observing these planetary movements, you can better understand your cycles of growth, transformation, and renewal—making astrology a powerful guide on your journey.

You're wrapping up an important lesson in friendship dynamics. It's possible that you've been struggling with a friend whom you love dearly but have grown apart from. Balancing misaligned values with a deep attachment is tough -- you can only sweep things under the rug for so long. As Mercury and Venus turn direct in your friendship sector on April 7 and April 12, respectively, brace for a pivotal turning point. An intense conversation could show you a fair middle ground or prove that it's time to distance yourself.

A work-related change is on the horizon around April 12, thanks to a Full Moon in your 6th house. Someone may be about to quit, and it's not necessarily you! Watch out for additional domestic tension after Mars enters your home and family sector on April 18. Try to discharge this energy by attacking some DIY renovations, if possible. The New Moon in your sign on April 27 offers a fresh start. It could signal new developments in love or symbolize your readiness to update your identity or physical appearance. The time for transformation is now!

𝔗𝔦𝔪𝔢 𝔣𝔬𝔯 𝔰𝔬𝔪𝔢 𝔩𝔬𝔳𝔢 . . .

As a new month starts, a driven Saturn-Uranus sextile on April 4 brings an interesting mix of inspirational, grounding energy. While staying in your fixed sign comfort zone is always tempting, Taurus, this is the Universe’s way of encouraging you to get out of your rut. When was the last time you tried a new dating app or at least updated your profile?

The sun enters your steady, responsible sign on the nineteenth, so you’ll be radiating that “I’m a secure potential partner vibe.” By highlighting your personal goals and accomplishments, you let other people know both what you expect from them and what they can expect from you. Being honest from the start helps you build a solid long-term relationship.

On April 27, there’s also a new moon in your transformational first house, which can lead you down a totally new path. There’s never been a better time to let go of an ex or old beliefs about love that are holding you back. This lunation offers a fresh start that allows you to embrace new possibilities, so be ready when those romantic opportunities knock.

Saturn! I would love to participate in your event!! For character either Bakugou or Shindou, whoever takes your fancy! We’ve been together a long, long time and we usually spend our anniversary on holiday somewhere far away from his hero agency so he can’t work😂 and I am so happy with angst, fluff or smut! Hit me with your best or worst😙💕

Jo! 💕

I love that you deliberately go somewhere that they can't work. Although, they 100% appreciate you forcing them to take that time to focus on what is really important!

Anyway, I hope you like it!

Happy Fucking Anniversary

-> Shindo + Bakugo; On Holiday; 1.5k.

TW: Fluff, Smut, Oral (M - Receiving), Rimming, Fingering, Praise, Degradation (Bakugo's a Little Mean), Suggested Threesome.

'If that's a news app there's no way in Hell I'm getting on my knees later...' You catch Shindo's eye in the mirror halfway through finishing your make-up.

'I was checking the weather.' Shindo shrugs, slipping his phone back into his pocket.

Cocking an eyebrow, you drop his eye to pluck a brush from your bag. 'You know, I bet even Bakugo wouldn't check his phone on his anniversary.'

'It's gone...' Holding up his hands in faux surrender, he chuckles. 'Don't need to leave for him just yet.'

You snort, glancing up again for just long enough to catch him wink at you. 'Yet.'

Leaning back on his hands, he let's his gaze drift down your body. Your dress is form-fitting, clinging to you in a way he knows, you know drives him crazy. He licks his lips. If he leans just right from where he's sat, he can peer over your shoulder and see the way your tits almost pour from the deep-cut at the front. Clearing his throat, he shifts on the bed and drops a hand to his thigh. The sight of you alone has him aching in his pants. The material of his jeans is constrictive, but does nothing to hide the bulge of his cock fattening underneath.

You glance back up when you hear him clear his throat. 'Really?'

Lifting his hips, he cups his cock and thumbs down it's length, showing you just how hard he is. 'Look what you're doing to me, sweetheart... You know I like it when you get all dressed up.'

Rolling your eyes, you try and hide the way you have to twist and squeeze your thighs together to stop the pulse of your cunt. 'We're not turning up late to another reservation.' Summoning all of your strength, you turn back to the mirror and try to ignore the way you can see him absently grinding against his own palm in the reflection.

He teases you for a moment, reveling in way your eyes can't quite seem to stop flickering to his cock, but his little game is drawn to a sudden stop when his phone sounds in his pocket. Your eyes snap to him in the mirror immediately, but he ignores it in favour of checking the notification.

'Are you taking the piss?'

'Huh?'

'That's a work message, don't act like I'm -.'

Quickly tapping out a response, he slips his phone back into his pocket and stands, crossing the room to you. Laying his hands on your shoulders, he brushes his thumbs across the back of your neck and bends down to kiss your cheek. ''m sorry, baby. I'm done, I promise. No more work...' He smirks into your skin. 'Just you and me, yeah?'

Stretching out your neck, you let him lay soft kisses across your pulse before shaking him off to apply your lipstick. You stand when you're done and pinch at the collar of his shirt when he slinks back to you, his hands immediately taking up post on your hips. 'I don't book holiday's half-way across the world just so you can work remotely, y'know...'

'I know. I'm sorry, no more phone – at all.'

Nodding, he has the decency to look sheepish when you fix him with a soft glare, but there's something else lingering underneath his expression that you can't quite put a finger on. 'Good.'

Biting back a smile, he has to remind himself to breathe when the annoyance finally fades from your features. There's something warm wriggling under his ribs that makes him feel giddy and light – something that, even after all these years, hasn't faded for a second. 'What the fuck did I do to deserve you..' He sighs, shaking his head.

'Cheesy bastard...' Warmth bubbles in your stomach, but he doesn't let you look away. Instead, he wraps a hand soft around your throat, fingers digging into your jaw as he pulls you in close and kisses you breathless.

He hums. 'Only for you.'

'No-one else would have you.' Giggling, you shove at his shoulder and snark, delighting in the way that adoration still floats easily in his eyes.

Shaking his head, he grabs at you and squeezes your ass, making sure you can feel his hardness against your thigh. 'Cheeky bitch.'

'I -.' Whatever else is primed to leap from your tongue is stayed, cut dead by a harsh knock at the door that has you both reluctantly reining yourselves in.

'Best get that.' Shindo steps back immediately.

You pause, eyeing him as suspicion crawls up your spine. 'What is it?'

He shrugs. 'Won't find out if you don't open it, will you?'

Flipping him off, you smooth down the crinkles in your dress before drifting to the door. You throw a confused look over your shoulder and then, you throw it open. 'Bakugo?'

Bakugo blows hot air out of his nose, his pupils almost blowing clean out as he shamelessly checks out the way your dress clings to your chest. He swallows, Adam's apple bobbing as he manages, with some difficulty, to drag his eyes back up to yours.

A hand on your hip almost makes you jump as your brain whirs, trying to catch up with the situation unraveling in front of you. Shindo presses his chest to yours, his large palm coming round to circle your waist as he props his chin in the curve of your neck. 'Happy anniversary, baby.'

Half-turning, you step back with Shindo to guide you as Bakugo rakes a hand through his hair and steps into your hotel room. The door shuts. 'You got me... Bakugo? For our anniversary?' Every word feels strange as it slips from your tongue, but there's no denying the flickering of excitement that licks at the edges of your stomach.

'Only if you want him.' Shindo chuckles, already starting to trail kisses down your neck.

From the other side of the room, Bakugo barks. 'Oi.'

'So, baby... D'you want him?'

'I'm right here, you -.'

'Fuck. Yeah.'

Bakugo's mouth snaps shut immediately. He swallows loud, licking his lips as you finally lock eyes with him. His cock stirs in his pants when your lips part into a soft 'o' as Shindo's kisses cause you to moan and squirm. Rolling his shoulders, he steps forward and into your space, squashing you between the broad chests of both men. 'Shit... That lipstick of yours is gonna look real good wrapped around my cock, ha?'

'Her mouth is like heaven.' Shindo speaks over your head as you're slowly urged towards the bed. 'You're gonna lose your fucking mind.'

Sinking to your knees, you don't have to wait for long before Bakugo is stripping and his cock is being presented to you, hard and weeping. You lick your lips unconsciously, anxious to see just how much your jaw will ache after swallowing him down.

'You want my cock, Princess?' Bakugo bites his lip, gripping his cock at the base to angle it towards your face. 'Want it so bad your little boyfriend had to fly me out all special, ha?'

You nod, eagerly sticking out your tongue when he taps the head against your lips. Salt slips down your throat as you take the first inch into your mouth, you cunt drooling into your underwear as he rocks his hips and gives you more and more.

'Shit. Fuck -.' Bakugo admires the bright, red ring your lipstick leaves around the center of his cock, but before he has chance to roll his hips again, forcing you to take down more of him, the tight heat of your mouth is gone.

Popping off of Bakugo's cock, you sink lower and lower until your nose is buried in his balls. You nuzzle there for a second, licking and sucking at the skin, but before long you're moving off and sinking down again.

A low, throaty groan is bullied from his chest when your tongue slips over his taint. Reaching for you, he slips a hand around the back of your neck and growls. 'Dirty bitch, fuck -.' He bucks, stomach tensing as a blush erupts onto his chest. 'Ah, shit... You like that, huh? Like eating my ass?'

You moan against him and roll your tongue on puckered skin, wriggling, until at last you can open him up.

Behind you, Shindo sinks to his knees. He's stripped from his pants, discarding them carelessly in his hast to touch you. A broad palm skates down your back and hauls up your dress so he can cup your ass and toy with your clit over your underwear. 'That's it, good girl...' He coos, pecking at your shoulder as his fingers yank aside pretty lace and dip into your cunt. 'Look at you... Gonna make us feel so good, aren't you. sweetheart.'

Shifting, you gasp when Shindo's fingers brush against your G-spot, but before you have time to move away, Bakugo's there pulling you back keeping your mouth pressed to his hole.

'Nah-ah-ah, Princess. Wanna cum on that tongue... Then, maybe I'll fuck you.' He smirks, crimson eyes glowing as another growl rumbles in his chest. 'But, I'mma warn ya now. I'm not gonna be as nice as your pretty little boyfriend there.'

Another moan shakes your body as your cunt tightens, dripping down Shindo's fingers as Bakugo's cock drools onto your forehead. Already, you can tell it's gonna be a long night.

Happy fucking anniversary, indeed.

[residentevildash-moved]

[this post is about the world of baroque for sega saturn] [and contains religious type wording] [app won't let me do a readmore sorry]

so anyway the dabar fusion was a plan to stabilize god by fusing them with a human, so that god could incorporate the skill of speaking human language and communicate what had gone wrong with it (corruption by the archangel). however, this attempt at stabilization failed, causing intense pain to both parties (god and subject 12) (subject 12 was the human selected because of [reason i'm deciding to leave out]) and, subsequently, the great heat wave. subject 12, still un-fused, loses his memory of the whole thing, leaving him in a post-heat wave wasteland of grotesques (people-turned-monsters) with nothing but a vague sense of intense guilt, and a vision of an archangel telling him what he must do. the archangel, the same one who destabilized god by feeding corrupt data and pain into gods sense spheres (he isn't a real angel btw he's just a guy with prosthetic wings), is the reason subject 12 lost his memory, and intends to use him in his mission of "fixing" god (aka fuck the world nightmare nightmare nightmare) -- because of this he also has subject 12 cloned countless times, since he's for sure going to get killed on his way DOWN INTO the nerve tower, which god exists in the depths of ....... goodnight

[blacksunscorpio]

Hi Scorp! I just have to tell you I've been on this site for a while and I'm so glad to come across someone's page that breaks astrology down so succinctly and in a fun and personal way. I wish more people we like you- you're a gem! I'd like to get started too and want to know in your opinion what the signs of a good astrologer are and how one can become one? Your help is as always so appreciated! I really admire you!

Thank you, love- Good Question

Signs of A Good Astrologer

1. They Understand Multiple Systems

Now, not every astrologer will use them. Some are more comfortable with Vedic, others Placidus, some Quadrant or Draconic and a few Horary or Equal House. Regardless, they’ll be able to entertain all kinds even if they subscribe to another/one in particular.

2. They Can Read A Natal Wheel

I know this may sound like a given but some folks who get into astrology just use a calculator or generator to pull up aspects and chart patterns. They won’t actually look at the wheel and see where planets land or how to work their way around the circle. They may not understand the red lines from the green or blue. It’s important to not only rely on a calculator but understand the wheel as a blueprint. You can catch many things and see many aspect patters [T-Squares, Grand Trines Yods, etc] with the naked eye. The natal wheel is the birth chart in its raw form. Anyone studying anything must begin with the basics. The wheel, fresh-faced is the best place to start. From there, the 101′s of Astrology become easier to grasp

3. They Do Not Rely On One  App Alone

The sign of any good astrologer [or anyone studying anything] is citing multiple sources and cross-referencing them. As we all know, technology, though an excellent modern tool is imperfect. It too can have glitches and miscalculations. For that reason, it’s important as an astrologer to at least have 2 to 3 calculators [including their own brain and hands] to break things down. This gives a better-rounded view of how charts work and can even introduce you to aspects you didn’t realize existed [parallels, contraparallels, etc]. Cafe Astrology is good for beginners but does not show you minor aspects [Quincunxes, sesquiquadrates, noviles or bi-quintiles] or chart patters like Astro.com does. Co-Star is good for millennials who are just starting and does a fantastic job of giving you a daily horoscope as well, but can really f-things up house-wise. [They are based out of NY and I rejected a job offer from them because of it.] Alabe.com is Ok but they make you input longitude and latitude which not everyone has access to and sometimes it just won’t take. Still, without cross-referencing you’d never know. Cast your net wide so you can get the best return.

4. They Understand Natal, Synastry, and Composite

While it’s important to understand how someone’s natal chart functions and relates to them as a person, or placements in general, we as Human Beings are social creatures. We operate in tribal, familial and unit systems. As a result, it’s important to know how people operate with each other as well as individually. A good astrologer will understand Synastry [aspects/energy between people] and Composite [midpoint and Davison, which is the Astrology of the relationship itself] in addition to Natal patterns.

5. They Have a Good Grasp of History

Mercury, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto? All names of Ancient God’s. When we understand the origins of these Planetary names, we can have a good grasp as to why they’re attributed to said planets/points. Modern planets are named after Roman Gods who all have ties to ancient Greece/India as well. When you understand the myths and stories you’ll already have a head start on why Venus is named after Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, since Venus rules love and what we appreciate. Mars [Aries] is the planet of war, sexual drive and action as is the Hellenistic/Roman God. Lilith is Adam’s first wife in Hebrew tradition and her hypothetical point in astrology embodies her traits. Make sense? Even the asteroids are named after minor gods and characters in the classics. Studying up on these can really help with understanding the planets as a whole.

6. They are Patient

Let’s face it, understanding astrology is not something that comes over night. It is also quite difficult to find in-depth classes for the study. Because of this, it is important for you or any astrologer for that matter to take their time. Don’t rush. Some can spend a lifetime studying and never know all there is to know. I myself learn new things everyday that I share with you all on here. Take your time. Be patient. Astrology is deeply metaphorical, philosophical as well as mathematical. Some may have a stronger grasp with one than another [as a former humanities major, I personally detest math but I’ll be damned if that makes me give up- I keep trying]. A good astrologer will give themselves and others grace to really grasp the concepts they are learning and know that it is not a 24 our crash course.

Red Flags 

With the good comes the bad/things many can work on to improve. The sign of an astrologer not living up to their full potential are:

1. Astrologers That Only Say Good Things About Your Sign

Let’s face it, astrology is not a study for those who like to sugar coat. The reality of life is that everything has a dark and light side. Just like every zodiac sign has positive and shadow traits. [Though I am a Scorpio and very loyal to my sign and people, I feel it necessary if I am to help others, to make them understand the under-developed traits of Plutonians/Martians in general.] You gotta keep it real. It is important to be honest. That is the only way to get to your sign’s final form. To understand what traits you/your sister signs/cousins are prone to. 

2. Astrologers That Point Out Troublesome Placements Without Telling You How to Remedy Them

Big No-No. Astrology is about activism and altruism. It, by nature, is a study quite akin to Psychology. One of my heroes, Liz Greene actually based many of her astrological studies off Jungian psychology. And what is astrology if not psychology with a cosmic twist? ;). A good therapist will isolate your issues but the point in hiring them is for them to aid you in fixing the issues you’re struggling with, no? Same with a good astrologer. They’ll tell you when something is an issue, yes, but they will also give tips and pointers on how to handle the energy or steps to reconciling the energy within your self and others. If someone is simply pointing out that you’re a Capricorn with a Taurus moon and therefore, have pessimistic tendencies, but don’t tell you how to balance that, then they are not doing the best job they can for you.

3. Astrologers That Demonize a Single Sign or Placement 

Or astrologers who are inherently judgmental about your tendencies [many Boomers unfortunately I’ve seen have a habit with this *sigh*]. This is also a No-No. Look, we are all entitled to our own opinion and there is dark and light in each astrological placement. But someone who says “all Pisceans are whiny-crybabies”, “all Virgos are obsessive compulsive critics” or “All Leos are egotistical cheaters” is not someone you want to take very seriously, lol. Sounds like these people got hurt by one of the above and as a result, have a war on everyone with these placements. By proxy, they use astrology to let out their frustrations which is a very twisted way to go about things. We all vibe with one sign or placement more than another of course, but even your fav may have a Mars placement in a sign you though you hated. It is best to be impartial and look at ALL aspects and ALL signs with fairness. The point of astrology is to understand. Once you understand someone or something it’s quite hard to be judgmental [if you’re really going about it with an open-mind]. Just like traveling or spending time with others different from you makes it impossible to be a racist or a bigot. Why? Because you took the time to really connect.

Anyone can become an astrologer with the right discipline and a good amount of grit and curiosity. I think you have the right attitude on how to go about it ;). Here are a few helpful resources to get you started:

Its a Holiday Something - Knights of St. Christopher & GN!Reader

SO @whatafuckinnerd offered up a WONDERFUL suggestion of “Experiencing the winter holidays with the Knights for the first time (And Amir, if you choose to do this as some sort of list instead of a fic. Also if you just want to add Amir)”. I, personally, love it. It’s a lot of fun. And I hope that you guys will enjoy it as much as I did writing it!!!!

The Den a garish display of holiday spirit – tinsel framed every window, every door was covered in wrapping paper, lights were wrapped around every column and hung from every eave and rail and windowsill.

Jack had been going overboard ever since Amir had returned to the realm of the living – and proved to be a Knight, no less. It had been a mess: there was magic, Amir came back, Alpha’s hide returned to the locker, Midnight left Gabi, Alpha found Gabi, Midnight found Amir – it was a whole thing, honestly, and just remembering it all made your head spin in the same way that the ‘Exorcism of Lilith Bathory’ made your head spin.

The Den being a testament to Macy’s Christmas Department was just one of those things that Amir’s return had (kinda) caused. You took a deep breath and released it slowly as the lights started to flicker in a rhythmic beat.

“Okay, Randall!” you shouted, “That’s too much – you’re gonna give someone a seizure!” You squinted at the lights. “Me, you’re gonna give me a seizure,” you added.

The lights stilled, and Randall poked his head out of his window. “Sorry!”

Another window opened, and Hamish peeked out. “No blinking lights?”

“No blinking lights,” Randall called back.

You rolled your eyes. “I think the aliens out on Saturn know that the Den is here, you know,” you commented. You jogged up the front steps. “And the fae in the Other Realm, and ghosts, and, I dunno, China,” you muttered.

Amir was standing in the front room when you walked in, looking up at the tree you and the Knights had put up. “There’s faeries?” he whispered when you approached. You arched an eyebrow. He rubbed his chest. “Oh, this is gonna be wild.”

“It’s only been a few weeks, Amir,” you said, nudging his shoulder with a smile, “You’ll learn.” You tilted your head. “I’m still learning, and I’ve been a Knight for a year.”

“How’s Aster doing dealing with a pack?” he asked.

You shrugged. “Dealing. Has to, you know?”

A shoulder smacked against yours. You looked back, arching an eyebrow as Lilith stood next to you, looking up at the tree. She still sported the tattoo on her face, an indication of her trip into the realm of demons or into Hell or wherever she went. “I hate Christmas,” she mumbled darkly. She looked over at you. “Not because of all this. It’s my family,” she muttered.

“We’re your family,” you said. She tilted your head. “Where’s the rest of the knuckleheads? This is the only thing in the Den that isn’t lit up, so we might as well do it now before we get drunk.”

Lilith wrinkled her nose. “Gabi’s bringing more lights – she said we need to wrap up the banister and decorate the bar – and Hamish is upstairs looking for his eggnog recipe and—”

“And Randall!” said werewolf jumped over the last few stairs and threw open his arms, “is right here.”

You nodded and smiled. Then, pausing, you looked over at Amir. “Hey, do you even celebrate Christmas?” you asked.

He shook his head as he looked down at the phone Randall had handed him; the lights were hooked up to an app and allowed Amir to change the pace of the twinkling to slow but steady. “I don’t, no,” Amir answered. He shrugged. “But, I mean, it’s a pretty widely celebrated thing, so it’s hard to avoid.”

“What do you celebrate?” Hamish asked as he came down the stairs.

“Ehhh,” Amir drawled. You snorted. Kicking your foot up behind you, you smacked the man in the rear and ducked into the living room when he gave chase. Hamish stepped behind the bar with a light chuckle. “Not really? My parents both used to be strict Hindus but since they came over here, they haven’t really practiced and?” he shrugged again. “Eh. I don’t think we’ve really celebrated anything for years.

The door of the den burst open and bounced against the wall. Randall released a strangled cry and threw his hands up. You watched him as you blindly groped the bar for the eggnog Hamish had poured for you, only for him to take your hand and wrap it around a glass. “Really?” Randall asked, “I just fixed that wall.”

“You can fix it again,” Gabi stated. You watched her walk in, followed by Jack, whose arms were laden with bags and boxes. You took a deep drink and turned away from her. “Oh, you started decorating already.”

“Uh,” Randall lifted a hand, “Started?”

You heard Gabi’s shrug and the clatter of the boxes falling out of Jack’s arms. “Yeah,” she replied, “Started.”

Amir leaned on the bar behind you. “Is this normally how Christmas goes?” he softly asked.

Hamish snorted. You turned around to face the two, and lifted your glass when they did, clinking the bottom against theirs before taking another drink. “Not even close,” Hamish said as he stared into the glass. He looked up to watch Gabi step back and direct Jack and Randall in how to decorate. Lilith made a beeline to you three, and took the glass that Hamish held over your head. “We normally watch Elf, get drunk, and go running out in the woods,” he replied.

“No,” Lilith protested after downing half her glass, “Last year we watched A Christmas Story.”

“Oh,” Hamish scoffed, “I am so sorry.”

“Apology accepted.”

You wrinkled your nose as you caught Amir’s gaze. “We can totally find a better Christmas movie,” you said.

“Isn’t Die Hard a—”

“We are NOT watching that,” called Gabi.  You rolled your eyes and leaned on the bar, drinking as she rattled off a long list of movies that were far more appropriate for the season then Die Hard. Amir snickered.

You smiled. Holding out your glass to Amir, you cleared your throat. “Happy, uh….”

“You can say Christmas,” Amir said as he clinked his glass against yours again.

You tilted your head towards Hamish. “Happy family festivities?” he offered.

You pouted. Amir hummed. “Nah, that’s trying too hard.”

Hamish shrugged and finished his eggnog. “We’ll think of something.”

“No, guys, the lights go around the banister, not over it!” Gabi shouted. You, Lilith, and Amir shoved your now empty glasses at Hamish, who shoot his head with a grin.

Astrology Charts

Many of us have delved deeply into the craft. We've done spells, we’ve done rituals. We have studied together and apart. We have learned about kitchen witchery, herbalism, medicine crafting, and making; whether it be self-taught. But let’s take a look at Astrology...

I’ll speak from my own personal experiences when using Astrology because I feel like the attached blog image states the main points.

Before my studies, I was always intrigued by astrology. But all I understood was a Sun Sign. And I always thought it was limited to horoscopes we got every day in the newspaper, online or in an app. How wrong was I?? How wrong we all were!

Astrology is a beautiful art that contains loads of secrets about our being. It is a wonderful tool that allows us to learn about ourselves, each other and also speaks to self-care and respect. It allows us to teach others we come in contact with HOW we’d like to be treated, our needs, wants, deepest fears, weaknesses, and strengths and to identify the most vital parts of ourselves: 

Chiron (our wounded healer; something we are perpetually trying to fix across lifetimes and struggle with) - it is an asteroid that orbits our solar system between Uranus and Saturn. It represents a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. In astrology, it is your placement in your chart where you can get to know and understand what your deeper wounds are, as well as the karmic, past-life energy you are here to work through to grow and evolve. 

However, it is our unhealable injuries and incurable trauma. However, it is said that if a person decides to swim as opposed to drown in their own trauma, can accept their trauma and help others who are also suffering and finally accept that suffering is a part of life, then Chiron can act as the key to wisdom or an “Initiation Gate”.  

Like all the other planets in our chart, Chiron has a sign and house it was located at the moment you were born. 

Focusing in on this information, allows you to identify what your greatest wounds are and provides insight on how to heal them.

Some backdrop about Chiron, the wounded healer, and inner teacher: From a mythological standpoint, Chiron was a great healer, wise teacher, and one of the immortal Centaurs. However, he was deadly injured by a poison arrow from Heracles, who was his best and close disciple. Even though it was deadly, he could not die. At long last, he gave up his immortality for the benefit of Prometheus who was suffering, and Chiron was then sent to the underworld. In the underworld, Zeus showed mercy for him and raised him to the heavens.

An Example for your Understanding: My Chiron is in Virgo. People with Chiron in Virgo are generally sick for much of their lives, albeit illnesses they encounter are not serious, moreover, they are chronic and cannot be cured. This is true since many medical professionals fail to provide a correct diagnosis. With Chiron here, I have to learn to live with my health issues and find ways to cure or alleviate symptoms. I also do have a fear that once my illness is done, another one will take its place.

My Chiron is also in the 7th House. The 7th house is the house ruling of partnerships; where our relationships, spouses, and soulmates can be found. Chiron in this house speaks to my experiencing consistent pains and aches with regards to my relationships with others no matter what routes I choose to go down. These are pains that cannot be prevented or remedied. These are wounds that reopen on their own from time to time. Consequently, my course of action in life is to still try and avoid and resist these experiences. 

How? 

By turning away and shying away from people. By bracing for impact once I come in contact with others. However, this can cause me to experience even more difficulties and more severe. All of which is the case. 

We also have our North Node (What we should embrace as it is a lesson learned) to our South Node (What we should learn from and release because it proves truly detrimental to character development). 

They are also keyed ‘Lunar Nodes’. 

Funnily enough, these are not planets but astrology’s own mathematical points that happen to be directly opposite of each other in our charts. These nodes are said to have our life purpose encoded in them and in the line between the nodes.

North Node resembles our life lessons and what we are striving for in this lifetime.

South Node indicates our comfort zone and habitual place. 

An Example for your Understanding: My North Node is in Scorpio in the 8th House. My South Node is in Taurus in the 2nd House. This speaks to the conflict between spiritual and material property, between acknowledging that everything is temporary vs the desire to own something and it is in a state permanence. Recognizing that death is a great teacher. People with this node placement should not base their lives on material values. They should explore spiritual values instead. They also should stop avoiding conflicts and not stay in comfortable sterility. Lastly, they should beware of greed and try to not cling to material assets. 

Having this knowledge puts us better in the position of resolving deeply rooted issues we face in our day to day lives. If you believe in past lives, then these are things you will want to try and resolve/work out before entering the next life cycle otherwise, you may very well encounter these troubles again until you’ve learned!

Until Next Time!
