Nothing like the Pakistani gov expelling Afghan refugees en masse back to a despotic country in the wake of a devastating earthquake and on the eve of an upcoming winter. All because of attacks on Pakistan from groups linked to said despotic regime that had been at the very least tacitly supported by the Pakistani gov.

Oh.. and a potential update to this (which has been coming as there are tensions between Iran and Afghanistan):

If you're wondering how to help Afghans, and discouraged by the fact that it'd be near impossible to convince these countries otherwise, International Rescue Foundation is probably the most practical source.

Otherwise, if you're American and in a blue/swing district, pressure your rep to push for the Afghan Adjustment Act and similar measures to help refugees get here and be supported. And even if you're in an area where appeals will fall on deaf ears due to racism/nativism/Islamophobia, there are refugee orgs nearby you can get involved with.

If you're not American, there are probably equivalent things that could be done.

ASPECTS IN ASTROLOGY

Aspects are angles that planets make in relation to: a) one another, b) the ascendant-descendant axis, midheaven-nadir, or c) other points of astrological interest.

Traditional major/Ptolemaic/basic aspects are the ones that evenly divide the 360° circle, and are also divisible by 10.

-

Conjunction (☌/0°): This aspect creates a union of planets involved. The energy creates a collectively new nature of planets. All planets involved are dependent on one another, all the time.

Sextile (⚹/60°): This aspect's nature is hard to crack but is helpful. It shows there is some benefit coming from the planets involved, but it might be too vague, concealed, repressed, or already taken for granted. This aspect manifests itself as guides and signals.

Square (□/90°): This is a rough aspect that shows disagreement between the planets involved. They are always in conflict, but after some time, a mutual agreement can be put forth. This aspect of conflict is always obvious and can be solved by the native, after some serious articulation. This aspect can come forward as barriers in life.

Trine (△/120°): This is the most beneficial of all aspects. It offers mutual agreement between the planets involved on a very strong level. This aspect often manifests itself as luck and fortune in native's life. The planets involved are working for the same goal and help each other constructively. Following this aspect can offer you the luckiest path in your life.

Opposition (☍/180°): This is the most difficult of all aspects. the disagreement between the planets involved is so polar, that the energy it tries to communicate can easily be repressed or compartmentalised. This aspect stays with the native almost all of their life, and can come forward in ways one can not control. Native always has to let one of the sides win, and has to pay for the other; since both are independent.

I'm not mourning the queen AT ALL. She directly benefited from the colonization of Yemen, India, Ireland, Rwanda, Uganda, the Maori, Scotland, Pakistan, the Indigenous of Australia and North and South America etc. A lot of you are real fucking quiet about how they were treated. Her and the rest of the monarchy weren't just some "pop icon" their actions had consequences and the world lives through it. Call me disrespectful all you want, the rest of the royalty can cry with all the money and artifacts they stole.
