Venus observation 🙂

Venus in Aries is drawn to partners who aren't afraid to stand up to them or push their buttons. They don’t want someone who just agrees with everything they say. They crave that playful friction, someone who can test their limits and push them to grow. Someone who just tells them "yes" all the time will quickly lose their interest.

You might not expect it from their calm, laid-back exterior, but Venus in Taurus can get pretty possessive and jealous. Because they value security and loyalty, any threat to their relationship, real or perceived, can trigger a strong reaction. If they feel like someone is encroaching on their partner’s attention or affection, they might become a bit territorial. They might not say anything outwardly, but you'll definitely sense it.

If you can make Venus in Gemini individual laugh, you’re in! Venus in Gemini loves someone who has a quick wit and a sense of humor. They can be very attracted to people who can joke around, tell funny stories, or keep the conversation flowing with clever remarks. It’s not about traditional romantic gestures, it’s about sharing a mental connection that’s also fun and light-hearted.

Venus in Cancer often gravitates toward people who have emotional needs they can care for. If their partner is vulnerable, has some sort of emotional wound, or even needs a “shoulder to cry on,” Venus in Cancer might find themselves deeply drawn to them. They can’t help but want to nurture and protect those they love, and sometimes this leads them to take on a caretaking role that can sometimes be emotionally draining. They thrive on giving, but it’s important for them to find someone who also knows how to take care of them in return.

Venus in Leo is often stereotyped as someone who’s just interested in the thrill of the chase or loves attention from multiple sources, but once they commit, they are incredibly loyal and devoted. If they’ve decided you’re their person, they’ll have your back no matter what. They’re not interested in playing the field once they feel secure in the relationship,they’re looking for a partner who can offer the same level of passion and dedication they give.

Venus in Virgo doesn’t do unnecessary drama, fluff, or superficial romance. They’re looking for something real and grounded. Empty flattery, unrealistic ideals, or dramatic outbursts can turn them off quickly. They prefer sincerity and practicality in love,this could mean straightforward communication and avoiding overblown emotional expressions. They just want the truth, no matter how it comes.

If there’s any tension or conflict in their personal relationships, Venus in Libra is likely to step in and mediate. They hate disharmony and will do whatever it takes to restore peace and equilibrium. This can mean smoothing over arguments between friends or helping couples navigate rough patches. They’re natural peacemakers and don’t like to see anyone involved in conflict. But sometimes, this can mean they suppress their own feelings just to keep things peaceful.

Venus in Scorpio isn’t satisfied with a shallow or stagnant relationship. They want to be part of a transformative process where both partners evolve together. They are attracted to people who are willing to dive into the depths of themselves, face their fears, and grow. They often have a strong influence on their partner's emotional development and can help them uncover their true selves. This transformation can feel like a “rebirth” for both people involved.

Venus in Sagittarius is a dreamer when it comes to romance. They can often get swept away by the idea of love itself, rather than being overly focused on the practical realities. They’re optimistic about love and tend to idealize it in their minds. This can lead them to fall in love with the concept of a person or a relationship before they’ve fully gotten to know them. While they have a genuine love for exploring different types of love, they may sometimes find themselves disappointed if the reality doesn’t match their idealized vision.

For Venus in Capricorn, actions speak louder than words. They may not shower their partner with compliments or romantic declarations, but they’ll show their love through practical means. They may take care of everyday tasks, like helping with chores, running errands, or ensuring financial security for both people. They also appreciate these same actions from their partner,they want someone who is dependable, responsible, and willing to contribute to the relationship in a practical way.

People with Venus in Aquarius are generally very open-minded and accepting of others, and they want the same in return. They are non-judgmental and don’t like to impose conventional expectations on their partners. They believe in the importance of allowing each person to be their true, authentic self without restriction. In relationships, they tend to be tolerant and accepting of differences and expect their partner to respect their need for personal growth and individuality.

Romance is incredibly important to Venus in Pisces, and they are often natural romantics. They may be prone to grand, sweeping gestures of love or to envisioning a love story that’s straight out of a fairytale. Whether it's candlelit dinners, heartfelt poetry, or spontaneous acts of kindness, Venus in Pisces wants to create beautiful, memorable moments with their partner. They also enjoy being pampered with romantic gestures that make them feel special and cherished.

this PAC is for romantic and platonic connections!

The connection between you and whoever is on your mind.

P I L E O N E

You could have a very watery feminine energy & Your person could be a little strict or strained sometimes in their love language. Saturn as well as Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius came out here. So, we've got a lot of saturnian energy going on, especially with Libra being in the mix. Your person might encourage you to be your authentic self, while struggling to maintain that for themselves.

I keep seeing images of a couple arguing on a dock while a storm is just blowing. The woman looks frantic and upset, and the man seems very disconnected and unworried.

You could have very powerful thoughts and emotions, you could have water in your big 3 and you might be a beach girly or something, I also did hear marine biologist so idk if that applies to someone 🤣

It feels like your person has a hard time letting people know when it feels dark inside of them. I feel like they can be a bit restrictive at times, they could make you feel trapped or lost sometimes. Like you don't know where you're headed or what to look towards.

This person seems very unhealed. It feels like they will literally rip themselves apart for whoever they love. They intend well, they may have a tendency for secret self harm? Or very cruel and negative self talk and self image.

They could also be in the process of ending this cycle of self harm & being a martyr. It seems with the 6 of air that they are trying to start a new cycle in their lives. I guess we're getting a very balanced look at this person 🤣

They may be very traumatized.

Afraid of reality, or scared of vulnerability.

Mercury by Steve Lacy just came on, this person could be a Gemini!

Ykw. The 8 of earth just came out, this is some goddamn Virgo energy 🤣

I feel like this is the type of person who has a very practical improvement and solution oriented approach to life and relationships.

They could have Venus in capricorn, or DSC in capricorn (cancer rising).

It feels like they are fiercely loving & protective & loyal.

They really care about you, they care so deeply it hurts them sometimes. Because you may remind them of something or someone. Something they felt they could never have or attain. I feel like this person could be elevating your status somehow.

To me it feels like they're very methodical and forward thinking but also very eccentric and a bit chaotic mentally as well.

A very unique person, could be some intense uranian energy here as well. (Moon/mercury/ASC/10h aspect to Uranus)

I heard maladaptive but also thought of the word malediction.

So they could get very stuck in their head to the point they create almost like very negative manifestations of reality into existence in the world around them.

They're very scared of being hurt again & it honestly feels like they avoid deep connection. It's like superficiality can be easier because it is easier to maintain. This person could be very scarred by their past. It feels like a lot of trauma and loneliness was experienced by your person. They try their best to forget and it seems almost like whatever they experienced penetrated their heart very deeply.

They may have loved someone before that hurt them very very very badly. It feels like theres almost this innocent scared child inside of them. I heard sad eyes, it's important not to get into a savior complex.

Don't take on unnecessary baggage, if this is something you do want to engage with and they are working on themselves & healing I think this could be a really positive connection.

It feels like this person is a soul nurturer. They know how to make you feel like the center of their universe & It makes you feel very warm. I keep thinking of like velvet textures and sort of a 70's aesthetic in my mind. I'm also thinking of bootsy collins, they could have a retro aesthetic or vibe to them.

They may also like funk music, funkadelic/Parliament in particular comes to my mind for obvious reasons lol.

This person is really eccentric, they just stand out. It's weird the dichotomy of this person. They almost feel like a walking paradox 🤣

They could be very surprising, maybe they do & say a lot of unexpected stuff. You might never know how they'll respond to something or fully guess what they'd think about it.

They might really enjoy contrast, I also heard contrarian. So they may like to break the boundaries and barriers and ideas that people try to place upon them. This is very Aquarian/Uranian 🤣

We love a rebel

If you want a more detailed message on this person you can always dm me for a 1:1 in depth reading on this topic for 50$ 😚

Channeled messages:

Condescending, Let your hair down, Atrophied, Catastrophic, Nails on a chalkboard, Lonely, Drowning, Swallowing, Brown hair, Virgo, Gemini, Cap, Libra, Aqua, Cap venus

P I L E T W O

I feel like your person is goofy as fuck, they may be a stark contrast against people you've liked before. It seems like this person has brought you a lot of simultaneous joy and connection as well as heartbreak. I feel like this is someone who may be a provider, or who could be very humble. This is someone who will get the job done, one way or another. They may be the type to take on mundane or frustrating tasks. I feel like one of the ways this person shows love oddly enough is by dousing out their flame. It's not on purpose, but I think that this person may silence their selves and their needs super frequently in favor of allowing others to take up their space too. I feel like this person is very in their own mind. I heard "brother" and "sibling" so this person could feel like family to you. I also feel like this person makes you feel different. Like, almost as if you are your unique self expression. They could make you feel soft and feminine in ways you haven't experienced before. Which results in a lot of anxious, internalized, almost deflective energy between the both of you. In the Eve Oracle card which came out, her back is facing towards Adam as she holds an apple. It could be that you overlook this person's love at times, thinking that there is something better for you out there. That this person isn't worth your time, which, granted I can't tell you what to do or what your experience is. But, in my perspective, I think you actually need to give this person more credit. You need to be honest with them, and maybe put down the walls. I heard can't forget the past, so it's possible y'all had a difficult run. If that's the case & you can't forgive I feel like you need to ask yourself why you still participate in the connection. They clearly adore you, and it seems like you don't understand that they are capable of adoring you. They have a very deep admiration for you, I feel like they always have. This person may fight for you and defend you in ways you aren't aware of. It feels like a passive form of protection, you don't always understand that they are a bit more passive in their love language. This is someone who is more thoughtful than passionate. I feel like you two manifested each other in some way shape or form, especially if this is a romantic connection or friendship. I heard soul connection, your souls came across each other in this lifetime to help each other unleash and integrate your shadows. To purify your souls, and to release what no longer serves you. I just keep feeling that this person is very unique, they're nothing like what people might expect of them. I see here where you may not know it, but this person is kind of a master manifestor.

You could've also been family in a past life, the Mother Earth card came out with Saturn. So it feels like this is a very karmic relationship. I see where you may feel driven to let them go, or almost this push or pull to be with them simultaneously. I heard something about "the moon wants you to be together" which is weird? For someone this could have to do with Hekate. I also heard Lilith. I feel like this person is trying to step up to the plate but you aren't seeing it. For some reason astrology is extremely important in this connection, looking at the synastry between y'all could help you better grasp the magnitude of what you are both experiencing. It's crazy how this song is lining up in a way the lyrics are "Feel the warmth coming through Streams of light come into view In a daze, but coming to Slipping away, falling through"

I honestly recommend listening to this song for clarity, Invisible - The Groovy Nobody It feels like this connection was fated or destined, I heard written in the stars. You guys really need to look at your synastry together or something. If you and your person are into astrology. I also have Neptune with Black Moon Lilith in Pisces and Black Moon Lilith in Leo. It feels like your shadows almost become projected unto one another. The Sun also came out, it feels like you two Mirror heavily. I'm not big on twin flame shit, and never have been- HOW IN THE EVER. IF that's something that's come up HEALTHILY, and not in a dynamic that is actively harmful and abusive then MAYBE it's something you should POSSIBLY consider pondering as a concept and learning about soul connection. If this person treats you like shit then forget about it, immediately, and do not engage. I don't care how much they love you, if they're actively causing you intentional or unintentional damage in the same pattern even if you've communicated about it, and if they are unreceptive and unwilling to change kiss their ass goodbye.

Know your worth. I just want to make one thing abundantly clear here, which is the matter of the fact that any point you can come out of alignment with someone. The thing is, that everything is part of a cycle, and part of a collective. That's how collective energies work, so just as there are plenty of you in this particular collective having this particular experience there are more and less evolved versions of that same person. Different people of course, who are unique and different from your person. Yet, who have a similar energetic composition or depending on how things go that could even be YOU shifting into a new collective or them shifting into a new collective. This is about matching energy, but not in a petty way. Learning that the two of you are literal mirrors to each others souls', so just keep that in mind.

Astrological placements: 12H Sun, Gemini moon, mars in cancer/4h Mars, Mars square moon, Mars conjunct sun, moon in the 9th house or 9 degree moon, Aquarius Sun, Aquarius Moon, Venus in Capricorn.

Channeled words: Dominance, envy, compassionate, bones, baby blue converse tennis shoes, Santa muerte, stellaris, Planetarium, Cassiopeia, Vashti, Cereal Milk, Vampire Diaries, Courage the Cowardly dog, City of Angels,

P I L E T H R E E Whoever holds Feminine energy in this connection is a very powerful being. This is someone who has a commanding energy, very womanly, very witchy, very much dark Feminine energy. This Feminine is very in tune with their shadow, it seems like second nature to them low-key. This person may push the boundaries and limitations of what you previously thought you knew. This person may be contemplating their next moves at the moment. They could feel like they want to make shit work out in their favor in life for once. It's such a cosmic energy, it's so powerful. I feel like if you're the feminine energy this is your energy, I don't think the feminine energies in this pile fully grasp their power. You deserve what you desire. Anyways, back to you and your person! It's so crazy, because as I was pulling cards I kept thinking to myself how your person feels like outer space. Or like a void, but not in a negative way, it's just that their energy is very deep and almost reminds me of the darkness that exists within and without. This connection is likely deeply transformative for you in some way shape or form. Anyways, but ASHERAH fell out and I remember my mentor telling me before that when Asherah divorced from Yahweh she went to space. He told me about this because at the time I was super curious about Jack Parsons and asked about his suicide. A lot of people believe he killed himself to be with Asherah. ANYWHO LOL, This connection is meant to guide you towards your purpose. I heard high level soul mate, so you and this person could be very in tune and in a healthy state. There feels like a lot of passion and admiration. I'm channeling Dirty Woman by Pink Floyd, lmao wowww the song is 3:33 3 is the number of Saturn, and I low-key see this in a sense of longevity. This may be your person frfr, I feel like there's sooo much passion here. It's giving Aries. You could have Aries Mars, Moon, Venus, or Sun. This is deep awe-inspiring passion that lights your heart on fire. It feels like there is a deep creative or sexual connection here, take what resonates!

I just heard Mars in the 12th house? Idk why I started channeling I wanna be Evil by Eartha Kitt, I feel like this person is incredibly unorthodox. They may be a bit of an edgelord (it Is very Aries energy tho, so are we really surprised?) I feel like this is someone who can be sultry, passionate, and outgoing, but also is highly intelligent. Someone with a huge personality, they could be very Theatrical in their self expressions. It's very much giving Leo and Black Moon Lilith in Leo actually came out LOL with Queen Jezebel and The Black Madonna, and The Sun... so like, are we surprised at how big this person's energy is? It feels like you've never experienced someone like this person almost? I'm getting a lot of channeled Songs for this pile, The next one is 11 AM by Incubus. Your person could be depressed. They may be struggling with a lot of difficulty in how to move forward with this connection. They may feel estranged or disconnected at times, I feel like there is a deep wound they are healing. I also keep hearing evil eye, so you may need to be more private about your relationship or this friendship. This connection is very special, and people don't always understand it. I think there is at times judgement from others regarding this connection and it makes them feel pessimistic and isolated.

Don't be afraid to communicate with your person, I feel like they really care a lot for you. I keep feeling a weird feeling in my stomach, it could feel like the prospect of love is scary for one or both of you. Connection could be something that feels very dissonant at times to someone? It's important for you guys to not dwell in the past, to move forward with great passion and vigor is the best thing you can do. I think this pile needs to do some cleansing and hex removal, you'd possibly benefit from revisiting some of your old notes for some of you? Something in a notepad, or on a computer. Notes of some kind. Something about clues? that's so specific lol. Channeled Songs: I wanna be Evil - Eartha Kitt, Dirty Woman - Pink Floyd. Placements: Aries (Sun, moon, Mars, Neptune, Venus), 12h Mars, Mercury conjunct Jupiter Channeled messages: Past life energy, "keeper of keys", I heard "master of none" as well, catch me if you can, count your blessings, "I can't wait to meet you", FNAF?, LMAO tell me why I just channeled master builder (I need to rewatch the lego movie soon fr),

How you can find love

This reading is about romantic love, but you can use it for other kinds of love, just change the details a little to suit you better. How you can find it or accept it, what are the obstacles and opportunities.

This is a general reading meant for multiple people. Take only what resonates and leave out the rest.

Your feedback is much appreciated. If you find the reading resonated with you, leave a comment, I’d love to know 🎐

About me | Masterpost Book a reading with me - KO-FI (Read this post : personal reading)

AMETHYST

There's an element of downplaying yourself, settling for less, or just wanting to float on the surface. Maybe you've been used to the kind of relationship that only centre around the superficial mundane matters, just gliding on the surface without going deeper like talking, sharing about the past and the future together, about dreams, inspirations, fears, life philosophy, etc.

You might keep going for the same kind of people, those that remind you of something or someone from a distant past, the unconscious memories. Even though these people don't actually bring you fulfilment or help you going forward, on the contrary, some can even hinder you.

You also have the tendency to keep your thoughts to yourself, refusing to voice your opinions and feelings. Maybe it makes you feel vulnerable, or you're not too sure of what you actually feel about someone and how they feel about you. There's maybe lots of crushes, fleeting moments of attraction that you kept hidden, not allowing them to materialise into something more concrete.

All of this needs to be changed. You need to go to the opposite direction of these tendencies, to give yourself a new space to explore and dive deeper. You might feel the urge to runaway, to avoid when things start to get more serious, when you feel like you have to open yourself up and share a part of yourself while receive a part of the other person. Both the act of giving and receiving are scary but necessary.

If in the past, you were more tolerant of many behaviours of others that weren't in alignment with your values or make you comfortable, you would easily accept the possibility of a connection with someone if they managed to remind you of those familiar patterns. Now, you should be more selective of whom you can share that possibility with. There's a need to be more discerning and choose what's best for you. Choose someone who actually can go far with you, not just from shallow compatibility viewpoint. To do that, you need to be more vocal and express your desire more clearly, which starts from keeping a clear head even when you find yourself falling for someone.

But if you're sure of someone, don't try to hide it, don't try to stall for more time. The more you keep them hidden in your head and your heart, the more distorted their image are, you will begin to prefer the distorted version of them in your head rather than the real person.

ROSE QUARTZ

You have many conflicting ideas regarding love. This conflict of different ideas is what makes you feel confused and hard to find a suitable person who can satisfy all those criteria.

There's this definition of an ideal love and partner you've been observing from the community and the society you're living in. A traditional viewpoint that you can't help but subconsciously absorb it. It may be about how you have to do many hard work to be a perfect lover, a perfect spouse, how you have to have this skill or that skill, how you need to behave, how to talk and act in a manner that can attract potential suitors.

Then there's also your own version of idealistic love, what you think love ought to be. You put love on a pedestal, making it a sacred and mysterious concept that hardly any mortals can touch and possess it. This view might have been influenced by what you were taught and what you saw in the media. You've put love onto such a high place that you couldn't find anyone fit for it, nor did you find yourself capable or worthy of it. If someone managed to trigger an association with that perfect ideal, you would put that person also on a pedestal, trying to be the right partner to them, regardless of how you really are. On the opposite end, if they showed a sign of failing, you immediately judge them as not right for you and discard the possibility of a connection.

While a part of you think of love as a fairy tale, another part of you just want to live a normal, realistic life with mundane concerns. So then sometimes you might wonder, when will this ordinary life sparkle, transform into a fairy tale?

You might think that being in love will stifle your independence. The energy is directed inward. You're so used to spending time and effort on yourself, making your life as much fulfilling as possible. There's this tendency of when you are in a relationship, you focus on the security of yourself in that relationship while neglecting the necessary compromises to make a relationship work. These compromises mean changing your routines, making an effort to understand the other person's, working out your own shadows, and taking care of each other.

So to find love, a love that you can hold in your hand, not admiring from afar, you need to take the vision of love down from the pedestal, make it mundane and real with all the ugliness and awkwardness. Stop waiting for the moment when you'll become a perfect human to love and another perfect human will come to love you. Just remove the "perfect" part. What you need to be ready is how to be with another person. Not in an individualistic way like "I do my part, you do yours, then the relationship will work", but more like "we do this together". It's not wrong to look for an ideal love, but you need to realise that love exists just around you too.

FLOURITE

For this group, it is not so much about how you can find love, but it's more about how you can let love in. The thing that you need to realise is that it's okay to open yourself up, and that love can make you feel safe.

I think many people are attracted to you, but you seem to keep them at arm-length, not pushing them away but not letting them closer either. One part of you wants to love and be loved, but another part of you seems to doubt your ability to love and the chance of meeting someone who can truly love you. I think your end goal is marriage or a long-term commitment. So choosing someone means that person has to have the potential to be your life partner, someone you can see a future with.

I sense some negative talks surrounding you. Maybe they come from your own mind, you might worry about how you come across to other people, are you attractive enough, are you lovable. Or the negative talks could come from people around you, they might rush you to find a partner, or saying things that make you fearful of relationships, those opinions could come from their own experiences and their beliefs but their words have the opposite effect of encouragement.

There's a heavy shadow hidden in you that affects how you perceive romance and relationship. This could come from a domineering figure in your life that imposes a set of restrictions and control. Or some painful past memories that left a deep wound in your heart, making you build walls around yourself. There's this belief of being "deserving" or "worthy" of love. You tried your best to be someone loving, but sometimes you might feel that your efforts weren't rewarded, that you weren't appreciated enough. Which made you questioned yourself why it was so, and the answer that you've arrived at might not be entirely objective and correct, you might think that it's because you lacked something and you needed to try harder. While the answer might be just that you haven't met the right crowd, the right person yet.

The greatest components of an ideal relationship for you are the feeling of safety and unconditional love. Some people might seem perfect on paper, they might do all the right things but if you don't feel safe and accepted when you're with them, they are not the right one for you. What can be considered safe is pretty subjective. The definition could be formed by past experiences and upbringing. What one considers safe might not actually be healthy for them, so a certain level of objectivity is needed.

Someone who will not trigger your wounds and hurt you further, someone whom you can be yourself with, someone who can give you advice and guidance when you're feeling lost, someone who is strong enough to be your rock in difficult times. The person having these qualities will likely be the one who can get past your walls.

CITRINE

The answer can be pretty straightforward, you have the Sun stone landed on the centre. You can find love when you put yourself into the centre of your life. When you're confident enough and consider yourself being in a good place in life. It might sound egotistical, but focusing on yourself can mean many things.

One thing is you allowing yourself to shine your brightest. You might have some reservations about expressing yourself fully to people. Maybe you're afraid that you will be judged as selfish or too assertive. There's a desire to be rebellious, to be free, and do whatever you want, but there's also your ego wanting to be in control, to retain your dignity. Between them is a wall of fear that can be linked to the unconscious realm. You might be used to the idea of sacrifice, serving others, being selfless. Acting in any other ways would be considered not desirable. But by expressing yourself fully, you deliver the message to the world that you care about yourself and allow yourself the freedom to be. This message can be translated into the care you have for other people's expressions, the freedom you can give them. This can be very attractive and open up many new opportunities for you to explore.

Another thing about putting yourself into the centre is that you have a chance to examine yourself closely, getting to know yourself, unravel all the hidden desires, the unspoken fears, both the good and the bad.

I see a lack of action. There are things holding you back, gripping you immobile. There are offers of love and connection, but you don't see them, or you turn your back to them while focusing on other things. It's like when things come to you, you dismiss them because it's not what you want, you are waiting for the things that you want to come to you, they have to be chosen by you first. You get into a tunnel vision of seeing only the things you want. But then you tend to be passive and wait for them while falling into over-thinking mode, dissecting every nuance and scenario. In the end, too tired and pessimistic from the conclusion you've reached, you choose to stay still and withdraw. Another failed dream goes unto the archive.

So instead of waiting for love, this group truly needs to actively recognise and find love and seize the chance when it comes to you. This will require you to completely overhaul your beliefs. Especially about how one should act.

There's a greater chance of finding love through groups of friends, through a community of shared interests. An emphasis on communication, talking about what you love, communicating openly, sharing lighthearted joys while also being able to discuss more serious and philosophical matters.

TIGER'S EYE

I see that you're already on the journey of love. It started with an open heart in the subconscious realm. I feel that you're very guided and protected. It might come from your own intuition or a higher spirit. Who knows, maybe they are the same. Right now, there's a gate opened for you, a new opportunity, your intuition can guide you towards it.

But I also see there's a wall obscuring that opportunity from coming into life. You might be dealing with some difficulties in material, physical plane. Trying to stabilise yourself. You might think that now is not the right time to be in love, a relationship right now would be impractical. You would be in thinking mode, trying to be logical and staying still, denying the possibility of love even when your intuition is saying otherwise. It's like you're trying to restrict yourself, trying to control, to bring order into your life, which might be the opposite of what love could bring you. You discard feelings that you deemed frivolous and silly fun, only looking for serious commitment but failed to realise that frivolous fun can develop and grow into something more serious and long lasting. You're sceptical of the feeling when you are in a truly fulfilling relationship. Is that really wonderful like how those romantics are telling us? Or is it just an elusive idea, fused by loneliness and the longing for completion?

But there will be an event or events shaking you out of that mode. It will be when you decide to leave the old way of living behind and try to find who you really are. I see travelling to distant lands, somewhere with a different culture that can open your mind and expand your ideas, somewhere that can make you forget all about your current reality in a moment to find stillness within. Love comes to you when you have the space to hold it and can give it to others

You might find love from a faraway land but sustaining it, keeping it alive and growing with it will be an ongoing lesson that you need to never cease learning. It's easy to slip back into old thinking mode, putting on suspicion and caution. Sharing yourself with another person seems daunting enough, navigating all the ups and downs of a relationship will require even more hard work. But I think you are brave. Beneath all that scepticism is an unwavering faith and an adventurous spirit that needs to come out boldly to take the reign, once in a while.

RED JASPER

I feel that love is something very intense for you, something that you may get drunk on, putting it on a pedestal. When you're in love, you want to be all in, emotional fulfilment comes before anything else. If a connection doesn't elicit strong feelings in you and things seem mild and lighthearted then you could not sustain it for too long.

There's a tendency to be obsessive, especially with potentials. If you catch feelings for someone, you will immediately think about how to cement the connection and then worrying about potential discords. This tendency might have put you in situations that left deep scars. On one hand, you want to love blindly, on the other hand, you are cautious of potential hurts and pains, of the past repeating itself.

There's might be a focus on the unusual, a liking for the differences. The more someone is different from you, the more foreign they feel, the more likely they're to catch your eyes. Exotic features, foreign accents, alternative style and taste, an element of other-worldliness.

Physical compatibility might be an important criterion. You want to immerse yourself with the other person, holding them closely, both physically and emotionally, mentally. But doing that can put a burden on you, everything feels so heavy, sometimes to the point of suffocating. You hold yourself and the other person prisoners of love. And when the unbearable weight keeps pushing both of you down and down without a way up, one of you or both will want to break away, resulting in a seemingly sudden break.

The advice for you is to take things more lightly, lightly is different from not being serious. Seeing things in different angles, imagine being someone else looking in from the outside, detach yourself a little bit. Focus more on the mental compatibility, not just how many things you both agree with each other but also how you can disagree with each other, how different you are and how that difference contribute to the growth of the connection.

You might be in a more masculine energy when pursuing love, the act of going after something and trying to control it requires masculine energy. On the contrary, accepting love and nurturing it needs you to be in feminine energy. I'm not saying which energy is more preferable but there's a need to balance them out, to be in more of one energy when the other is being too dominant.

Then you will find love is not a burden to hold on your shoulders or a fruit that can be devoured completely, but like a plant you want to nurture steadily and see it grow day by day. It's something to be celebrated and enjoy, not something to be chased after and then be kept away in a safe.

12: THROUGH THE ALLEY

Previous chapter < MASTERLIST > Next chapter

Summary: Things between you and Bucky are awkward now. But when a dangerous encounter threatens your safety, he’s there in an instant, bringing all the heat and fury of his protective instincts. And as the dust settles, you’re left wondering— where do you go from here?

Warnings: Angst, mutual avoidance, tension, brief violence/threat, attempted mugging, knife threat, protective!Bucky, hurt/comfort, swearing, some soft moments amidst the chaos.

Word Count: 3309

Something had shifted between you and Bucky since that night. There was a tension that neither of you seemed willing to address. You couldn’t avoid him completely, not when he lived across the hall. But your interactions had grown superficial and formal, neither of you lingering long enough to exchange more than civilities.

It wasn’t just him avoiding you, you were doing it too. It had been three weeks since the incident but when you heard his footsteps in the hall, you hesitated at the door. If you spotted him across the street, you turned into the nearest store or ducked around the corner. It was cowardly, but definitely felt safer than facing the awkwardness between you.

Today was no different. As you rounded the corner near your building, your eyes found him instinctively. He was on the opposite side of the street, his broad shoulders easily recognizable even through the crowd. For a second, you thought he might cross the street to talk to you. His eyes seemed to connect with yours, and your heart skipped a beat. But then he frowned, pulling his phone out of his pocket and looking down at it— then changed direction completely.

You froze, a wave of sadness washing over you.

It shouldn’t have hurt. Afterall, you were doing the same thing, weren’t you? Skirting around him, staying silent rather than addressing the unexpected moment of intimacy. It was far easier to pretend you didn’t see him than face the mess you’d made of things. You’d broken too many rules in your agreement already.

Still, the rejection stung, even if it was mutual.

You sighed and shook your head, adjusting the jewelry case in your hands and forced yourself to keep walking. You had far more pressing issues at hand, like making it to this meeting with a new client and salvaging what was left of your professional reputation.

The last two weeks had been nothing short of a fiasco. You’d been dropped by an important client— one that comprised a third of your income, and it had been a devastating blow to your confidence. Your anxiety was through the roof, you felt like you were drowning. But by the grace of God, you’d managed to snag an appraisal appointment with an incredibly prestigious firm that had never shown you interest in the past. And it felt like you’d been thrown a lifeline.

You’d spent hours putting together a slideshow of your most popular designs, carefully selecting the ones that showcased your talents. Amongst them was Bucky’s birthday bracelet— an addition that still felt like a daring choice. Now here you were, carrying your personal collection in your arms, the case held close not just for its monetary value but for the sentimental attachment you had to each and every one of the pieces held inside.

You were dressed to impress, wearing your favorite outfit— a dress that hugged your figure in all the right places and brought out your eyes. On your feet were a pair of heels that sculpted your calves so perfectly that it didn’t matter how much they pinched your toes. You felt confident, maybe even a little invincible. If only you didn’t have to deal with the penguin-like waddle the dress forced on you, you thought, catching sight of your reflection in a store window.

The firm in question had a boutique locally and had suggested a meeting at its Brooklyn location and you jumped at the chance. You were on your way when a narrow alleyway on your left caught your attention. Cutting through there would save you a few blocks walk and give you time to arrive early and avoid looking flustered and sweaty. You peeked down its length— it was clear, save for a few scattered trash cans along it and the distinct smell of the city.

You hesitated briefly, before throwing caution to the wind and stepped into the alley, your clicking heels echoing loudly through the narrow space. About halfway through, you came across a man who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

You froze, your breath caught in your throat, making the way your heart was pounding sound like a jackhammer. The man’s demeanor appeared casual but his eyes were immediately locked onto the case in your arms and he did nothing to hide his intent. The predatory gleam did nothing to calm your nerves. Everything in your body was telling you to run, but how could you? Your attire would trip you up in a matter of seconds, leaving you in a more vulnerable position than you were in now.

“Well, well, well. What do we have ‘ere?” he drawled in a cocky voice.

There was a small glint, something silver in one hand. Where did that knife come from?

Your grip on the case tightened, your arms coming around to clutch it to your chest. “Look, I don’t want any trouble.” You did your best to keep your voice steady, despite the way your body was trembling.

“Trouble? Who said anything about trouble?” the man smirked. “Just be a sweetheart and ‘and over the case and we can both be on our way.

Your stomach churned as adrenaline flooded your system, your mind searching for a way out of this situation. “P-please… I need this,” you stammered out a plea.

“I ain’t tellin’ you again, miss.” The man took a menacing step forward. “Give me the bag.”

A wave of terror washed over you, paralyzing you as the man took another step closer. The confidence with which he gripped the knife made your pulse race and your mouth dry.

Suddenly you heard a noise behind you. Another one! You didn’t even have the courage to turn your head. Instead you closed your eyes and bowed your head, hugging your precious work in front of your heart. There was a rush of air next to you and something brushed your arm.

Please don’t kill me.

“W’the fuck you want?” You heard the first man speak.

The words confused you and you dared to take a peek to see what was happening. There was a tall figure standing in front of you, his back to you. You opened your eyes further, noting the tension in the new stranger’s stance. Your gaze traced his outline, the way his shoulders were squared, his head tilted to one side and his fists balled up at his sides— one flesh and one…

Bucky?

It felt like you could breathe again. Relief and confusion flooded through you. But before you could process any of your thoughts or feelings, Bucky spoke. His voice was low and dangerous.

“I want you to leave.”

The mugger sneered at the simple threat, holding his knife higher. “Oh yeah? You gonna make me?”

“If I have to.” Bucky’s expression was devoid of emotion, his words cold. “Rather not, though.”

The mugger laughed mockingly, sending a chill through your spine. “You and what army, pal?”

“No need for an army…”

The mugger was starting to look a little anxious, but he wasn’t completely undeterred by Bucky’s nonchalance. He attacked, lunging at Bucky with his knife, the sharp metal blade glinting dangerously as it slashed through the air.

You gasped, taking a panicked step backwards. But Bucky didn’t move, didn’t even flinch. As the knife came down, Bucky caught the blade in his vibranium hand, fingers closing around it like a vice. The mugger’s expression made a flawless transition from an aggressive snarl to surprise and finally landed on fear. His bravado crumbled in front of you as he struggled to pull the knife back from the super soldier’s unyielding grasp.

“Just me,” Bucky finished quietly as his other arm came to rest around the mugger’s attacking wrist.

“Let go!” the man cried, trying to wrench it free.

Bucky tilted his head, as though thinking about his request. Then he twisted the man’s wrist ever so slightly, forcing the knife out of his grip. Bucky flipped the knife playfully in his metal hand a couple of times before catching it by the handle so that the tip pointed towards the mugger.

“Not a very balanced blade,” he said, balancing it on his palm. “This is what you’re relying on?”

He watched the mugger’s eyes follow the point of the blade as Bucky waved it around with practiced ease. Then, without warning, he closed his hand around the knife and clenched it so tightly that the crunch of the snapping metal echoed through the narrow passageway.

“You’re a monster,” the man spat, voice trembling with fear and fury and he tugged at his wrist in an attempt to escape.

Bucky’s lips twitched as he fought back a smirk. “You’re not wrong.” Then without warning, he let go of the mugger’s wrist, sending him stumbling backwards to land on the concrete floor. “Now get out of here before I change my mind about hurting you.”

There was no hesitation; the mugger scrambled off the ground and bolted down the alley without so much as a backward glance. And a silence fell over the enclosed space as the scuffle of his footsteps faded away.

Slowly Bucky turned around, his eyes raking over you, searching for signs of injury. You expected his face to soften as it usually did when he looked at you but today you felt something different. His expression was hard and you could feel the iciness of his stare, making you cower away from him. He took in your appearance, your shaking hands as they still clutched the bag, your rumpled jacket and your fearful eyes.

“You’re unbelievable,” he growled in a low voice that betrayed his anger.

Your relief turned to confusion. Was he talking to you?

“Are you stupid or just reckless?” he snapped, stepping towards you. “What the hell were you thinking? Walking down a damn alley on your own, dressed like… that, and carrying something so valuable?”

His words were harsh, every one cutting deeper than the knife you’d been threatened with, shattering what was left of your already fragile state. “I didn’t… I wasn’t…” you stammered, voice cracking under the strain.

“Do you even understand what that guy could have done to you?” he shouted, his voice harsh and angry. “He could have…”

You were shaking harder than before, clutching your bag tighter to your chest, like a shield, a barrier of protection from the onslaught of Bucky’s wrath. You turned away, hot tears spilling over your cheeks and your legs wobbling as though your knees would give way any second. “I know,” you wept, the words lost in your sobs.

You hated yourself for crumbling under the pressure, but Bucky’s reaction had tipped you over the edge.

The sight of you falling apart stopped Bucky’s tirade. His anger evaporated in an instant, replaced by a wave of guilt. “Oh, hey, hey, Princess… come on… don’t…” he muttered helplessly in a soft voice, quickly closing the distance between you.

Before you knew what was happening, he had pulled you into his arms, holding you close to his chest. You hadn’t had time to lower your bag, which was now awkwardly squashed between you; not that he seemed to care or even notice. His hands were on your back and at the base of your neck, steadying you, soothing you. “I’m sorry,” he murmured into your hair. “I… I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to—”

You clung to him, the implications of your encounter finally catching up with you. Bucky stayed with you, a strong, solid presence as you tried to regain your composure. After a few minutes, you loosened your grip on him and he pulled back, just enough to meet your eyes.

“You okay?” he asked.

You nodded in response, feeling steadier but still shaken.

“Where were you going anyway?”

“I got an appraisal—” You looked at your watch, “in half an hour! Shit! Oh God, I must look awful.”

“C’mon,” he said gently. “Let me get that for you and we can get you freshened up.” Without waiting for an answer, he slipped the case from your shaking hands. The way his fingers brushed over yours was strangely comforting. “Where’s your appraisal?”

You sniffled, wiping at your cheeks as you handed him your phone to show him the address, which was only a ten minute walk from your current position. He guided you out of the alley with a gentle hand at your back. The two of you were at the boutique sooner than expected, Bucky hadn’t left your side. He carried your case like it was his burden to bear. He even pointed out a neighboring coffee shop where you slipped into the washroom to fix your make up.

As you stepped into the boutique, a bell chimed softly announcing your arrival. You and Bucky were met by a harassed looking sales assistant who greeted you politely and apologized to you, saying that his managers were still busy.

“We’re terribly sorry, but we’re still finishing up with a rather... challenging client. Would you and your bodyguard mind waiting for a moment?”

Bodyguard. You shot Bucky a quick glance but there was no sign of reaction on his face at the assumption.

“Of course we don't mind waiting,” you replied with a gracious smile, walking towards the chairs you were directed to.

In reality, you were grateful for a moment to compose yourself. Bucky set your case down and took a seat in the less comfortable looking chair. His large frame made the chair look comically small. You sat down beside him and sighed.

“Thanks for being here,” you said softly.

“You don't have to thank me,” he answered, also keeping his voice low. “Are you alright?”

“Yeah,” you nodded. “I… I just want to focus on this. I really need it to go well.”

His brows furrowed. “Why? What’s going on?”

You sighed, fidgeting nervously with your fingers. “I lost a big client recently. They said they weren’t happy with the direction my business was going.”

“Not happy with the direction of your business? What does that mean?”

You looked down at your lap, picking at a flap of skin next to your cuticle. Without looking at Bucky, you picked your words carefully. “They weren’t a fan of my commission request,” you mumbled.

Bucky leaned over towards you, concern etched across his features. “Wait... is this because of the post about my bracelet?”

You didn’t answer, your eyes flicking down to his wrist where you could see the bracelet resting snugly under the sleeve of his jacket. Your silence was enough to confirm his suspicions.

“Take it down,” he said firmly. “Tell them it wasn’t for me.”

You shook your head, offering him a strained smile. “It’s fine, Bucky. It doesn’t matter.”

“Of course it matters,” he argued. “I don’t want to be the reason you’re losing work.”

“They said if I took it down, they’d keep me on,” you admitted, determinedly looking down at your shoes.

His eyes searched yours. “And you didn’t?” he asked incredulously.

“No,” you replied simply. “I told them to shove it. I’m not going to have my work associated with those bigots.”

Bucky stared at you, his mouth parted slightly, stunned by the weight of your loyalty. For a few moments, he was rendered speechless.

“You did that... for me?” he asked finally in a whisper.

You shrugged, feeling your cheeks flush under the intensity of his gaze. “I don’t want my work to be associated with people who think like that.” After a moment of contemplation, you added, “Assholes.”

Out of the corner of your eye, you could see him lean back in the chair, his vibranium arm coming to rest on the bracelet on his right wrist. “You’re... something else, you know that?” he huffed.

“Nah,” you laughed. “Just stubborn.”

“No.” He put his hand on yours, prompting you to look up at him. “You’re brave. And thank you… for sticking up for me.”

The two of you fell into a comfortable silence but you could tell from the way he fiddled with the bracelet that what you had done meant more to him that he was letting on.

The walk back to your apartment was uneventful. The streets were quieter, the bustle from earlier had faded with the afternoon. But despite this, you felt on edge. Bucky stuck close by you, as if sensing your need for reassurance, carrying your case again without complaint.

The meeting had gone well— really well. It had been surprising to you how well the boutique managers had responded to your work. But the real shock was how they had fawned over Bucky, their excitement over his Avenger status was palpable. For a brief moment, you stopped to wonder if their offer was more related to his fame than your actual talent. But despite this rather unsettling thought, their offer of a more lucrative contract took a massive weight off our shoulders.

As the two of you reached your front doors, Bucky handed you back your case. His eyes lingered on your face as though he was looking for signs of you unraveling.

“You gonna be ok tonight?” he asked, genuine concern in his tone.

“Yeah,” you replied, your voice steady. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

He hesitated, his lips pressing into a thin line. “Well, you… what happened today was pretty scary.”

“I’m fine, Bucky. Thank you… for everything.” You smiled, though it didn’t quite reach your eyes.

He sighed, his face softening but he nodded, accepting your decision. “Okay, well… if you need anything, I’m…” He gestured to his door across the hall. “Just over here.”

Your eyes followed the movement of his hand and landed on his door. You’d grown so accustomed to seeing it and him, but you’d not previously thought of it as a safe space… a source of comfort. “Thanks,” you whispered, trying to convey your gratitude.

He gave you a small, almost sheepish smile, then stepped back. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight, Bucky.”

He waited until you closed and locked your door before retreating for the night.

The next morning, you left for work not expecting to see him, but there he was— leaning against a lamppost right outside your building. His vibranium arm was stuffed into the pocket of his jacket, but the other had a small cup of coffee in it.

You stopped in your tracks, wondering if he was waiting for someone else. The thought of him waiting for someone else unsettled you more than you expected. But then his eyes lifted to meet yours and he smiled. Your heart skipped a beat.

“Morning,” he said casually, as if this was a perfectly normal occurrence.

“Bucky… what’re you doing?” you asked, walking up to him.

“Walking you to work,” he said, handing you the coffee. “Don’t argue. It’s black. You look like you need it.”

You accepted the cup but you still felt confused. “Thanks, but… why?”

“Because I want to make sure you’re okay. What happened… what happened yesterday…” he sighed. “Look, fake relationship or not… I’m not gonna let anyone hurt you.”

“Bucky,” you called his name gently, taken aback by the sincerity in his voice. “You don’t have to do this.”

“I know I don’t have to. I want to,” he said earnestly.

“I know this is all for pretend, but… are we at least friends? For real?”

“Yeah,” he answered. “We’re friends. You can trust me.”

“Thank you,” you murmured, cradling the coffee in your hands.

“Don’t mention it,” he replied, smiling gently. “Now, come on. Don’t want you to be late.”

He started walking again and you followed, the two of you falling into an easy conversation. By the time you reached the corner, you were still trading jabs, the earlier tension forgotten, as though you’d been friends for years.

🪐 Astro Observations!!!✨

Happy 2024 babes! Here’s to another year sharing astrology stuff with all of you 🤩

work by astrobydalia

Yes water moons have great intuition and could be psychic but I very often notice they tend to allow their personal feelings interfere with their decisions and could tend to not follow their intuition as much. The ones that have a more reliable or unbiased intuition imo are Earth moons and Aquarius moon.

Scorpio Venus really do gravitate to unhealthy relationships… All their connections tend to have unfair or imbalanced dynamics to them where there’s no equal give and take. They believe love means throwing yourself and your life away for another person (or they expect someone to give everything away for them) with little to nothing in return. They may not understand the difference between deep intimacy and unhealthy attachment

Libra placements and their ability to appear likable even when they have the shittiest personality deep down

In my opinion Moon is the most important planet if you really wanna begin to know someone at their core. Ultimately no planet can give you full info without the context of the whole chart tho (#AllPlanetsMatter), but you can really uncarcarve sm about someone just by moon placement/aspects/degree, etc. Moon rules your needs and so it really cements your personality and its an energy that you'll project in so many areas of your life (relationships, career, etc)

Fixed Mars are ARGUMENTATIVE fr fr. They need to have the last word and will die on that hill if they have to💀Honorable mention: Virgo/Gemini Mars due to Mercury influence but they’re more about friendly banter and aren’t as stubborn

80% of Aries Moons I've met were very philosophical/spiritual/religious. They can develop a self-awareness that gives them a lot of wisdom. The other 20% were just adult toddlers and very egotistic...

Capricorn placements and their internalized elitism. They really do believe some people are better than others which is the shadow of Capricorn unfortunately

Aquarius Moons are some of the most traumatized people I know fr fr. Whenever I get to know their life and backstory Im always like bro….😶😶 It makes me so sad cause they always bring such good vibes everywhere (they have a playful aura) when in reality there’s a depth of pain underneath you wouldn’t even fathom through that unbothered persona. The OG misunderstood.

We all know Scorpio is all about depth, intensity and looking beyond the surface but I’ve very often observed the exact opposite in scorpio placements. They could tend to be very superficial, greedy and materialistic, more obsessed with wealth and status than any earth placement (it all comes down to power). In such cases their interest in occult or deep topics could also be superficial or opportunistic, like they only see it as something that could give them a leg up in life or help them avoid unseen threats but that's about it.

Cancer Risings do not come across as sensitive at all. They tend to have a rather sassy personality and are pretty defensive 90% of the time tbh. Think about it, are crabs 🦀 cute and cuddly? No, you actually actually have to be very careful around one cause they sting lol. They do wear their heart on their sleeves and are very sensitive and perceptive but because of this they constantly feel like their vulnerability is out for everyone to see hence the guarded attitude.

^I've also noticed they are VERY opinionated and will hold on very tightly to how they think/feel about something. This results in having a reputation for being kinda bold and sharp (Aries 10th). Pro tip: do NOT question these native's morals or integrity unless you wanna see a very snappy side to them, they respond very very very badly if you even insinuate that they might be hypocritical in their values/what matters to them

The interpretation that Aquarius in the 4th house means you’re an outcasted black sheep in the family low-key doesn’t make sense to me tbh. Aquarius is the sign of camaraderie, friendship, inclusivity and community. All the people that I’ve seen with this placement were actually very bonded to their roots and considered their family (and the people they bonded with during childhood) to be "their people" (they also keep their friends close to heart). These natives do tend to distinct themselves as they grow up but this is due to Leo 10th house. I've noticed their family is in general very supportive of them or at the very least they received some input in their upbringing that made them feel special and/or like their uniqueness was celebrated. Feel free to share your opinion/experience tho

I've noticed Virgo Mars people have a perfect balance between being confident in themselves and fulling trusting their abilities while also staying humble and acknowledge room for improvement. Very mature and self-accountable and they're also great people to work with cause they are highly appreciative of good contribution

Sagittarius placements and their ability to be casually rude in a charming way??? 😭

Moon in the 10th house do not have a reputation for being emotional at all, it's quite the opposite they dislike exposing their feelings like that. A lot of their energy is spent trying to appear put-together and emotionally stable. The ones I've noticed have a reputation for being moody or sensitive are Mars in the 10th house

Venus-Moon aspects probably grew up in an environment that fed up this idea they had to be beautiful and conventionally likable in order to be worthy of love. These natives tend to base their self-worth on the amount of emotional validation they get from others and struggle telling the difference between kindness and love

A couple notes on everyone’s fave topic: 8th house synastry

We all know this overlay deals with power dynamics. On a general basis I’ve noticed it’s the planet person who tends to have the upper hand. Exeption: Moon. When your moon falls in someone’s 8th house you tend to be vulnerable one due to the soft nature of this planet, but the house person secretly feels more intimidated

You will NAWT be able to keep secrets from someone you have 8th house synastry with specially if you’re the house person. Sooner or later they’ll see through you, circumstances might force you to expose yourself or you’ll simply feel drawn to revealing the truth to them. With water synastry in general you will feel drawn to share more deep or hidden parts of yourself/your life but with the 8th house you can’t help it, like there’s almost an accusatory tension between the two that grows the more you try to hide something from them

Something I see no one mentioning about 8th house synastry is the planet person always feels intimidated by the house person's success. The planet person will try to take part in the house person's success by taking some credit and have a sense of control over what belongs to the house person, it's giving Kanye's "I made that bitch famous". At best the planet person would want to help boost the house person's endeavors. Either way, when someone's planets land on your 8th house, you will never feel like something is completely yours anymore, somehow the planet person will "take" something away from you that you can't get back making you feel like you owe them or they owe you something big (8th house=debt), which is why this overlay very often goes south and tends to be very depleting.

If we're talking business (which 8th house deals with that) the house person is likely to take a risk on the planet person, invest on them (can be money, time, resources, trust, etc) in hopes that it'll pay off. The house person is most likely to loose something from their involvement with the planet person, but they can also gain a lot from the planet person if the investment pays off. In either case, one could tend to exploit the other if there’s any ill intent from the individual

Water mars people are very smothering in their affection tbh. Once you’ve been chosen, get ready to be bombarded by their attention a bit more each time. Secret stalker vibes.This doesn’t always mean they love you tho, if underdeveloped they may want to “bond” in order to have emotional control over you and use you. For them it’s easy to get what they want through manipulation so leading people on or fooling around is something they tend to do a lot

Going back to the affection topic, water venus are smothering too but they go about their obsession devotion in a much more soft and non-domineering way where they give a lot of power away to their partner

People with Gemini+Scorpio placements in their chart embody the mischievous trickster archetype fr fr. They’re funny but also a menace. Have an ease to become that type of deceitful manipulator who thrives in chaos

I have a theory that your Moon represents the kind of bond or relationship you have with your mother but Ceres represents how your mother actually is

Capricorn and Scorpio placements are huge tsunderes imo 😭

Chiron in Sagittarius/9th house have become disappointed with religious and/or academic institutions. For them both systems are essentially flawed and don't work or don't make sense

+When it comes to religion I've seen a lot of them being atheist and skeptics. Some others still believed in god/universe/etc. but they did not want to support any stablished religious institution and instead have preferred to craft their own belief system. In both cases, they saw the institutionalization of believe systems as something that hindered their freedom of thought and expansion

+When it comes to academics a very similar thing happens. They felt like collage and the educational system restricted their mind instead of expanding it so they just preferred to walk their own path and find growth elsewhere. A friend of mine with this placement quit collage and the other people I've seen who did finish it all said they had a kinda dreadful and/or unfulfilling collage experience which they low-key regret

If you’ve ever felt powerless in the house where you have your pluto, that’s because you gave your power away to the opposite house. For example, if you have Pluto in the 5th house and you felt powerless when it comes to expression, your creativity, etc that’s because you gave too much power to the public opinion/peer pressure (11th house) and what they may say about you if you express yourself genuinely

Scorpio Moons always battle with that "am I a good person?", "am I a monster deep down?" inner conflict. They are more in touch with darker emotions and experiences than the average person so for them it's particularly easy to channel their shadow. This can often make them doubt their own integrity or think they are doomed to never feel happiness and inner peace. This is moon's debilitation for a reason, their inner emotional world is ruled by chaos and turmoil and they tend to be a bit too comfortable (moon) in toxicity and drama, nothing is ever light-hearted for them. If developed this ability of staying in touch with the shadow side of things can actually give them lots of awareness and resilience for the darker sides of the world as well as a very solid moral compass and compassion

Leo Moons likely had grandiose standards forced on them that inflated their self-importance. It's giving "mommy told me I am the best and most special of all" which is great but now they be carrying that mindset for the rest of their lives and this is where lot of their infamous sensitivity and fragile ego comes from cause not fulfilling these standards deeply hurts their heart. In consequence they tend to be more unprepared to accept humbling experiences that'll make them mature

virgo risings are funny!!!! I haven't seen anyone mention this, but every virgo rising I've met cracked me UP, they are so witty and never misse a chance to throw in a cheeky joke every 2 minutes. I think this is overlooked because they keep a rather awkward demeanor to them which often makes for a rather dry delivery. Best examples of this are Ryan Raynolds, Keanue Reeves, Emma Watson, Cole Sprouse...

Also, all Virgo risings I've met tend to come across as huge snobs so it's very common that people don't take their humor or friendliness seriously

Honestly I've noticed this theme with Virgo/6th house inner placements in general where their judgemental nature always makes them unfriendly or snarky to some degree. They can be the kind of people who are never happy with anything and always have a bone to pick.

My main theory as to why Leo risings are the most shy out of all Leo placements is because a lot of them grew up in very problematic and dysfunctional families (Scorpio 4th house) where they were shamed for showing vulnerability or being genuine (Cancer 12th house)

I’ve noticed Aries Suns and Capricorn Suns tend to relate a lot to their fathers, they tend to have very similar character traits as their fathers. For good or for bad their relationship with their father is always very important in their personality.

I find that LEO Suns and Sagittarius Suns always be having daddy issues tho like 😭😭😭😭

One thing about Capricorn is they can be literal billionaires and yet will still refuse to spend a dime on something they think is not worth it

Mutable Moons don’t commit 10000% to things, they’re the type to always have a foot out just in case. They're most likely to commit to things if they don't feel forced or expected to stay permanently

Cardinal energy is very consistent and responsable. People with prominent cardinal placements have a really developed sense of agency, focus and direction (imo this will be more obvious with moon, mars and asc). There's something about them that always gives me this put together "I've got this" kinda vibe, they always seem like they've got it together and always know what to do even when they're lost.

Fixed mercuries and their inability to understand or accept that two different points can be true

Sun/Leo in the 3rd house could want to have a nice car, an expensive or luxurious car from a well-known brand

I’ve seen people saying Venus-Mars conjunction gives it girl vibes. This is also HIGHLY true for Mars-ruled Venus (Aries/Scorpio Venus) or Venus-ruled Mars (Libra/Taurus Mars)

Choi Seunghyun, An Angel ²

Choi Seunghyun x american!reader

Summary: Seunghyun invites reader to a cozy cafe to escape the commotion and apologize for the chaos. As they chat over drinks, the conversation flows easily, with the reader playfully teasing him about his blue hair from Fantastic Baby. Seunghyun, initially embarrassed, starts to relax, enjoying how down-to-earth and genuine she is. They find themselves drawn to each other, and as the evening unfolds, they realize there's a connection neither of them can ignore. What started as a surprising encounter becomes the start of something more.

Warnings: none

Masterlist

The soft ringing of the bell sounded happily as the large glass door with a cute welcome sign was pushed open, the large hand of Seunghyun, who held the door open for you with a small nervous dimple smile. After asking you if you wanted to sit down at a cafe instead and you agreed, he mentioned a nice cafe around the corner, which you immediately headed towards. On the way there, Seunghyun's mind was wandering wildly, nervous that you wouldn't like the cafe, while you walked next to him with a sweet smile.

As you passed by you thanked him, with slow steps, while he exhaled deeply as the door closed behind him. A few heads turned towards the two of you, curious as to who had entered the shop, before everyone went back to their conversations. Seunghyun's hood had found its way back over his hair, as a protection to avoid being recognized by anyone on the way. Especially now that he was with you, he wanted to avoid another run-in with one of his fans.

His palm carefully and a little uncertainly placed itself on your lower back to push you towards a cozy free table in the corner. The table was made of old wood, in a round shape with a baby pink tablecloth and small scented candles, the two chairs that stood opposite each other were each decorated with a seat cushion, matching the tablecloth. The table seemed to be made for the two of you, so you gave him a smile as you sat down on one of the two chairs, and were pleased to find out that it was quite comfortable.

He stopped just before the table, eyes on you as you rolled your two suitcases into the corner next to you, before he exhaled deeply, straightened his coat and sat down opposite you, thankful that you had left him the seat that had his back to the others to avoid recognition.

He slowly pulled his black coat off his shoulders before hanging it over his chair behind him, to which you also took off your baby pink coat. Your hands rested on the table in front of you, the cold wood touching your palms as your thumb ran awkwardly over the soft skin of your other thumb, your breathing shallow as you tilted your head slightly uncertainly.

"So..." Your voice was soft and a little uncertain. You hadn't known him long enough to know what to talk about, but long enough to know that he didn't seem to like talking about his job, or at least making a big deal out of it. You were sure that he was pretty proud of his band members, you had enough chances to watch their interviews, and it was obvious that they were very important to him.

You liked that he cared so much about others and that he was less superficial, although you thought he should be pretty proud of himself as well, as he had come a long way. You knew that at the beginning of his career he was very insecure about his deep voice, but over time he learned to like it, grew more comfortable with it and let himself go. He was now the main rapper in the band, and he inspired other people with deep voices to start making music too.

Seunghyun cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, not knowing what to talk to you about now, even though he hadn't thought about anything else on the way there. "So..." His deep voice sent a shiver down your spine as you shifted nervously in your seat.

"Uhm so what brings you to Korea?" His hand ran over his chin and your eyes followed his every move while you imagined how it would feel to run your hand over his chin, so sharp it could probably cut paper. He seemed really interested in the answer and that warmed your heart, his brown eyes shone with interest and he looked so innocent at that moment that you suddenly got the urge to squeeze his cheeks.

Embarrassed by your own train of thought, you cleared your throat as your elbow rested on the table, your chin resting in your palm. You paused for a moment before answering him. "Well, I finished my degree in fashion design, and... now that I have that behind me, I have decided that I don't want to spend my future there anymore." As you spoke, you tilted your head slightly, your gaze wandering uncontrollably, a habit you had had for ages.

Seunghyun's lips twitched a small dimple smile as he looked at you quietly while he listened to you and nodded for you to continue. "I've lived there my whole life and I just had to get out, you know? I need a new place, new people around me." It was surprisingly easy for you to talk to him about private things, as you usually find it difficult to quickly become comfortable with strangers, but he made it quite easy for you and that made you very happy.

"And for Korea- I've always wanted to visit Korea since I was little, I used to watch a lot of kdramas, I still do and I don't know- it was always my dream to experience a story like that." A short laugh escaped you as you placed your arm flat on the table, shaking your head, one of your curls slipping from your right shoulder.

Seunghyun didn't even notice how he was slowly fading out the conversation of the other people in the cafe and how you were taking up more and more of his focus and how everything else except you was becoming unimportant. His body had never felt so relaxed and his heart was beating in a calm rhythm. He couldn't believe how you could make him feel, even though he had only known you for an hour and he couldn't imagine a minute without you, that was crazy for him, because never in his life had a woman made him feel like that.

He always had problems with committing to someone, especially touching was a big part of it and no woman ever seemed to be able to handle it, so it was even more strange for him the many times you had touched each other in the last hour and how he didn't seem to mind. If not, it was actually him who longed for one of your touches and always found himself reaching for you.

"I guess it's kinda silly, but I believe in it." You finished your explanation, a hint of pink now covering your cheeks, a little embarrassed about what he would think, although the opinion of others was usually pretty unimportant to you. It was a new feeling, but you didn't necessarily mind. Seunghyun couldn't help but laugh too, his heart warmed, your gentle laughter as sweet as music to his ears.

Your fingers found the cold iron of your bracelet, which you had received as a farewell gift from a friend you met at university, as your laughter slowly died down, now a small, somewhat shy smile on your lips covered with liogloss as you heard his laughter for the first time. Maybe not completely for the first time, as you had heard it several times in his bigbang interviews, but at least for the first time in person, and from that moment on you had decided to do everything you could, to hear it even more often in the future.

"It's not. I get it, believe me, better than you think." He replied with a twitch in his lips as he exhaled shallowly, a gleam in his eyes as he leaned back slightly in his chair, his brown hair tickling his forehead as he folded his arms over his chest and adjusted his seat. A lump formed in your throat, which you immediately swallowed down, as this movement of his was strangely attractive.

Seunghyun leaned his head back briefly in thought as he replayed your words, his chin slightly tensed before he looked you in the eyes again, smiling, his facial features unrealistically soft and you couldn't help but want to melt away. "So you studied fashion design? That's pretty impressive." He couldn't help but think that this fact about you had made you even better.

Since you are working a lot with creative and artistic talent, and he was quite interested in art and the like, you both had something in common at this point already and he couldn't help but be overjoyed about it, which was pretty obvious to see. He would be lying if he said he wasn't interested in learning more about your experience with fashion design and he couldn't wait to learn more about you in general.

Your eyes widened a little after his statement and a little tingling formed in your stomach, and without being able to control it, you found yourself longing for more of his compliments. You couldn't believe how sweet he was to you, you weren't used to men like that in your home country, everyone there was pretty unfriendly and disrespectful, especially towards women, which was one of the reasons why you were never able to really commit to a man in a deeper level.

Your fingers brushed a strand of hair behind your ear as you smiled at him a little uncertainly. "Thank you." His eyes looked at your lips for a millisecond where he could see the shine of the lip gloss before he licked his own and looked back into your eyes, swallowing. "Don't thank me, Angel." He spoke quietly, not noticing how the nickname slipped over his lips again without any problems, but you did.

And it made your heart skip a beat, your lips parted and a shaky breath escaped you as you forced yourself not to turn pink. It was really weird how you were acting and your body seemed to do what it wanted, you couldn't even control it. Your lips pressed together as he gave you a sweet dimple smile before you returned it.

"What's your plan now? Anything in mind?" Your conversation seemed much more relaxed than at the beginning and that calmed him down. His fingers reached for the menu that he hadn't noticed before, before he handed it to you, whereupon you gratefully accepted it and opened the first page made of plastic.

"Well, so far my plan would be to become self-employed, I would like to have my own Label." You looked up briefly to catch his reaction, his eyes widened a little, a gleam of admiration visible, and his lips were slightly parted. To say he was impressed would be an understatement. It wasn't that he was surprised, he was simply speechless, because this fact not only made you even more attractive, but also officially made you his soul mate, it had to be that way, there was no other explanation.

A certain emotion of pride bubbled in his chest before he could stop it and as he watched you press your lips together, your eyes gently glancing over the menu in your hands. He felt the sudden urge to press his lips to yours, to taste your sweet taste and to let himself fall into that feeling. He didn't even seem to be able to control his thoughts, he was so caught up in you.

He shook his head, berating himself as he shook his head, palm now resting on his forehead, before exhaling deeply and forcing himself to relax and appear calm. "That's really wow- I really hope that this works out for you." His deep voice had a hint of intensity that made you look up again, goosebumps spreading across your arms before you gave him a sweet smile that warmed his heart.

"That's really sweet of you." Your soft voice made him blink slowly as you decided on a waffle and a latte before slowly pushing the menu over to him, carefully past the burning candles. His cheeks warmed and he nodded in agreement, not knowing what to say in response. He decided to just stay quiet to avoid saying anything stupid before turning his attention to the menu.

After he also decided on a waffle and a mint tea, a lady wearing an apron came over to your table, a polite smile quivered on her lips as she asked you what you wanted to order, smiling, you did your best to answer her in Korean before she nodded and got to work.

Seunghyun's chin tensed to keep it from falling, still surprised and impressed by how good your pronunciation was, you just seemed to get better and better by the minute and that drove him crazy. So many thoughts were running through his head, one of them was the fear that he seemed to completely misjudge the situation and that you saw it all as just a friendly gesture, because that was exactly what he didn't want you to think. He had hoped that the invitation to a cafe would give you a hint that he was at least interested in you and not on a friendly level.

He still couldn't tell exactly how you felt about the situation, but he did notice the few times your cheeks turned pink, or how you avoided eye contact with him, or how you gave him that sweet little smile. Of course, he could have misunderstood it all and you were just being friendly, but god, he hoped not everyone would see that smile from you.

Not to be dramatic, but he would die for that smile.

In the short time that he had known you, he had become so addicted to that little smile, to you in general, and of course it scared him, but on the other hand it also gave him hope. Hope for something good in his life, because he knew that if you gave him the chance to continue to be in your life, he would never be unhappy again. How could he with you by his side? Maybe he was a little hasty, but from the moment your eyes met in the train station, he just knew. There was a connection between you and his heart had already decided before his head could even think twice.

"May I ask you something?" Your voice brought him out of his trance and, somewhat embarrassed, he raised his hand to scratch the back of his head before nodding at you. Your lips were pressed together to stop a smile. "How did you come up with the idea of dyeing your hair a bright blue?" A quiet giggle followed before you could stop it.

Instantly his eyes closed and his head tipped forward and fell into his hands with a low grumble that only made your grin grow even wider. He had already figured that such a question would come from you sooner or later, after the comment about his blue hair in the alley half an hour earlier, but he had hoped that he could avoid it. He had never thought about it before, but now with you, someone he obviously wanted to impress, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed about his actions a few years ago.

When he dyed his hair, years ago, he thought he would look cool and that people would look twice as they walked by, but right now he would do anything to undo it. " Please don't remind me." He muttered into his hands after a long silence, his cheeks pink.

Your face softened as you exhaled in amusement before your hands slowly reached for his, your touch gentle and instantly your skin tingled like an electric shock. You paused briefly before carefully removing your hands from his face and giving him a smile. Both of your hearts were pounding in your chest as your eyes met. "Don't get me wrong. I always thought it was so cool, I even considered dyeing my hair that color too, but my mom stopped me." Laughing, you put your hand over your mouth to stop yourself from laughing even more and his shoulders immediately sagged in relief before an amused smile appeared on his lips.

"Wait really?" His eyes shone with emotion as he looked at you, his eyes blinking slowly while he could still feel your touch on his skin, the spot tickling in longing to feel it again. If his friends heard how he was behaving right now, they would laugh at him, but he couldn't force himself to care.

Nodding, your laughter ended, but a wide grin still on your lips. "Really." You replied a little breathlessly before leaning further back in your chair, your arms now crossed in front of your chest, which shook a little heavily up and down while your warm breath flowed from your lips.

A boyish grin graced his lips as he tilted his head back slightly, his Adam's apple poking out, a taste that made you swallow. "Well in that case... when I was brushing my teeth I got the toothpaste from one of my friends Daesong, it was baby blue and when I looked in the mirror I imagined what it would look like and the next day I just did it." It wasn't a particularly imaginative story, quite simple and boring, but that's how it was. He shrugged his shoulders a little to downplay it when he noticed the gleam in your eyes.

To be honest, you had already thought that it would just be something like that and it wouldn't be anything creative, but hearing it like that made you grin in amusement, your eyebrows raised a little. "Seriously? You just decided on the spur of the moment?"

He nodded and let out a breath, but he didn't feel as stupid because of you as he did before and he was happy about how relaxed he was in your presence. You really didn't seem to judge him at all and he really appreciated that. "I'm a pretty spontaneous person." Was his answer with a playful grin.

Nodding, you tilted your head slightly to the side to get a better look at him, it felt so good to talk to him, you hadn't felt like this in a long time and it warmed your heart. You had only been in Korea for a little over an hour, and you couldn't wait to see what it would be like to live here forever, with the hope that Seunghyun would be with you in that future.

"I like that." You answered him softly as you exhaled deeply and looked at him with a warm look, the same look he looked at you with. A few tables away, some heads turned towards you, admiring the two of you looking at each other, thinking that you were both in a relationship, but you both didn't even seem to notice, too engrossed in the little bubble you had built for yourselves.

You both hoped that it wouldn't be the last time you would see each other, and Seunghyun would make sure that there would be many, many more such meetings between you, Because he wouldn't miss this opportunity to have you in his life for anything in this world and he would do anything to keep you in his life. And that forever.

D A Z A I O S A M U

Dazai analysis [x relationship with his potential darling]

BSD Dazai x ideal type fem!reader

Disclaimer: MDNI, depression, melancholy, suggestive in general.

It would be better if you read THIS first.

I wanted to write NSFW head canons but guess who is in a soft mood? I’m going to write that in the near future. I promise. 🩵

No matter how much Dazai plays the role of “the player” and tries to distance himself from any deep connections to avoid being hurt, it doesn’t change the fact that he is a deeply wounded child.

He wears a mask of indifference and charm, yet behind that façade lies a heart ravaged by loss and abandonment.

“…anything I never want to lose is always lost. This is how it’s always been for me. Everything worth wanting is lost the moment I obtain it. And nothing I pursue is worth the cost of prolonging this life. The suffering.”

He feels that everything worth wanting disappears the moment he obtains it.

He didn’t feel anything until he learned to love, and only then did he truly understand the depth of his pain after losing the person he cherished the most—the one who, despite his brokenness, refused to abandon him.

The only person who ever loved him unconditionally; Odasaku.

His emotional state mirrors the chaos in his life: chaotic, uncertain, and perpetually in search of something he can never quite grasp.

In my opinion, his sexual behavior reflects his internal struggles—soulless, empty, and loveless.

It is desperate and fleeting, yet he remains too far removed from his true self to trust anyone with the full extent of his desperation.

The women he meets become mere distractions, tools to temporarily fill the void in his heart.

He yearns for connection and someone to understand his pain, hoping to be saved from his own darkness.

Dazai is secretly a romantic at heart, despite his flings and possible one-night stands that never satisfy his deeper longing.

These encounters leave him feeling more empty than fulfilled.

He has left “so many women crying,” as Chuuya puts it, because they cannot fill the void he carries within; they cannot bring him the solace he craves.

What Dazai truly needs in a partner is someone who can fill that void—not with superficial affection but with unconditional love and understanding.

If he had met his darling during his Port Mafia era, their story would be profoundly different, prompting a deeper exploration of that specific timeframe later.

Unlike Fyodor, who embodies an “all or nothing” mentality, Dazai strives to connect and to find something that might lift the weight from his heart.

Like Fyodor, he would either be entirely devoted to his darling or remain uncommitted altogether.

He would struggle with trust, finding it difficult to let anyone in and to believe in the possibility of lasting love.

Dazai would instinctively pull the “you can fix me” card at the beginning of the relationship, testing his darling’s resolve and kindness.

He would charm his darling with his wit and playful banter, but beneath that playful exterior lies a fear of vulnerability.

Dazai craves authenticity, a genuine connection that transcends the physical. In the presence of his darling, he would grapple with the realization that she sees the parts of him he hides from the world.

His darling’s unwavering support and compassion might frighten him, but she would also inspire a flicker of hope—a chance to feel, to love and be loved without fear.

As their relationship unfolds, Dazai would begin to experience moments of unexpected vulnerability, caught off guard by how easily his darling sees through his carefully crafted walls.

He would share fragments of his past—stories of loss, betrayal, and the darkness that lingers in his heart—creating a bridge between their souls and drawing them closer.

Dazai would wrestle with self-sabotage, often retreating into his old habits and pushing his partner away in an attempt to protect both of them. (My poor baby, I want to hug him.)

He would fear that his darling might wake up one day and realise that she deserves better than him, wrestling with his own insecurities.

As time passes, Dazai would begin to understand that love is not a weakness but a strength.

His darling would teach him that it’s okay to lean on someone, to share the burden of his past.

With every shared moment, he would learn to let go of the fear that had held him captive for so long.

Just when he begins to believe in the possibility of a brighter future, a haunting shadow from his past would emerge, threatening to shatter the fragile bond they’ve built. (I’m making some drama out of this)

A former associate from the Port Mafia might reappear, a reminder of the life Dazai had tried to escape, forcing him to confront his own demons. (I’m delusional but imagine this)

He would realise that he needs to take action and commit to the relationship, showing that he chooses his partner and their love.

Through it all, Dazai would discover that love is not just about finding someone to save him but about allowing himself to be vulnerable and to love in return.

He would learn that while the shadows of his past may never fully disappear, they no longer have to control him.

His partner would be his light, illuminating the path toward healing.

✨️Hekate is the 100th asteroid, she is the place we go to in our astrological charts to find out what we need to do to discern our direction in life✨️

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Aries: Your drive for change is direct and bold. This position can manifest as a need to make quick and determined decisions. You have a strong sense of independence and are drawn to exploring the unknown or the forbidden. You are a pioneer on your own path, willing to break barriers and challenge the established. However, your challenge is not to rush too much and learn to listen to the warning signs of the universe, to avoid impulsive decisions. Hekate's magic here asks for patience to channel your energy towards more conscious and strategic decisions.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Taurus: Transformation comes through the material, the sensual and the physical. Your relationship with worldly pleasures and emotional security can be a space where you face crossroads in life. You may face times when you need to let go of what gives you comfort in order to grow and evolve. You often seek stability, but Hekate challenges you to find a balance between your earthly desires and connection to the deepest part of your being. True abundance and growth come when you learn to let go of fears related to possessiveness or rigidity, allowing change to flow into your life.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Gemini: Here, Hekate connects you to the mystery of hidden knowledge and truths that are beyond the superficial. You have a gift for uncovering what others don't see, whether in words, ideas, or connections. The challenge, however, is not to spread yourself too thin, as this energy can lead you to jump from one thing to another without going deep enough. Your spiritual journey may be through the mind and communications, but you must learn to discern what is truly important.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Cancer: Manifests in your life through your deepest emotions and your connection to home, family, and the past. Crossroads may present themselves in your close relationships or domestic life, where you must learn to balance the need for protection with the need for release. You are capable of navigating the darkest emotional waters, but Hekate teaches you not to get stuck in the past, but to use those experiences to heal and renew yourself.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Leo: Your path of transformation is closely tied to your creative expression and your sense of personal power. You are a magnetic person, with a deep need to shine and leave a mark. However, Hekate's influence may bring moments where you are faced with dilemmas about your identity and what it really means to "be yourself." You may go through periods of doubt or identity crises, but these are moments of profound transformation where you can be reborn from your own ashes. Learn to integrate your shadows with your light, embracing every facet of your being without fear of vulnerability.

🧚‍♀️ Hekate in Virgo: Your journey of transformation is tied to the pursuit of perfection, organization, and health. You face crossroads in how you can improve and transform your life through service and constant improvement. Hekate challenges you to let go of the need for excessive control and self-criticism, showing you that true magic is in the acceptance of your imperfections and the power of routine and daily care. True transformation occurs when you learn to balance perfection with acceptance and self-care.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Libra: Relationships are the area of your life where the biggest crossroads present themselves. Important decisions may arise around what you need in a partner or partnership, and how to balance your independence with the desire for togetherness. Hekate invites you to find the truth in what unites you to others and to release relationships that no longer serve you. Your moments of change may come through your closest connections. Balance in your relationships should be a reflection of your own inner harmony. Don't be afraid to cut ties that prevent you from evolving.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Scorpio: This is a powerful placement, as Scorpio is a sign that naturally connects with transformation, mystery, and shadows. Here, Hekate challenges you to face your deepest fears and walk through the fire of purification. The goddess guides you through the darkest moments of your life, showing you that only by facing your own demons can you be reborn stronger. This influence gives you a deep connection to hidden power, whether in yourself or in the world around you.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Sagittarius: Expanding your consciousness and accessing deeper truths are key. The future is presented as a constant quest for wisdom and exploration, and Hekate guides you toward philosophical and spiritual paths you may never have considered. You are drawn to the mystical and the unknown, and you may feel like destiny is taking you to faraway lands, whether literally or figuratively. But you must remember that not all knowledge is superficial - you are not alone. Some journeys must be internal.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Capricorn: Your path of transformation is closely tied to your career, your ambition, and your sense of purpose in the world. The crossroads you face are often related to how you balance your desires for success with the need to follow your own truth. Hekate challenges you not to get stuck in rigidity or routine, but to recognize that true power comes from a deep connection to your purpose. The magic is in the integration of discipline with the desire to evolve spiritually, without letting work disconnect you from what really matters.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Aquarius: Connects you with the future and the energies of social change. You are a visionary person, but your crossroads may arise when you try to balance your desire for independence with the needs of the collective. Hekate's influence invites you to fight for the common good, but always from a place of authenticity. Your transformative decisions can have a positive impact on your community, as long as you remain true to your vision. True freedom and social change come when you are able to maintain your authenticity without compromising your values to fit into the conventional.

🧚‍♀️Hekate in Pisces: The connection with the mystical and the invisible is deep. This position gives you a gift for spiritual work, intuition, and healing. Your moments of transformation are often linked to connection with the universe, deep emotions, and spiritual insights. However, the challenge is not to get lost in illusion or fantasy. Hekate's magic here invites you to find a balance between the material and spiritual world, without falling into dispersion. The spiritual transformation you seek must be anchored in reality, using your intuition to guide you without letting the shadows confuse you.
