Transiting Mars enters Taurus

Sunday, June 9 - Saturday, July 20, 2024

Although Mars is in its detriment here [ie, transiting through a sign (Taurus) which is opposite a sign it rules (Scorpio)] - and although there are a few potential rough spots - this really isn’t a bad transit at all.

Mars in Aries is always ready for a fight, and probably throws the first punch in 75%-90% of all the battles it experiences. Mars in Taurus has to play by that Venus rule book, though. Patience, calm, perseverance, and steadiness can help us get what we want, at least as well (if not better) than carrying chips on our shoulders. Some ways it may play out in Mars’ areas:

Physical strength - “strong as a bull!” This is more of a “brute force” placement and relies on that, rather than being aggressive or flexible.

Energy levels - steady, once it gets going. The problems here are actually getting Mars to budge, and (as with Mars in any fixed sign) in knowing when to quit.

Sexuality - sensual and passionate. A lot of paying attention to everything in our bodies and not just the gonads. Not usually a “wine and dine” kind of placement, that’s too complicated.

How we go after what we want - slowly, steadily, patiently. If you have a project requiring such an approach, this is a wonderful time to launch it.

Some really beautiful aspects and situations ahead of us. Allow a day or two on either side of the given date.

Tuesday, June 11 - Mars/Taurus square Pluto Rx/Aquarius, 1°45’. I really liked Kathy Rose’s take on this particular aspect - it has such a horrible reputation, but by approaching it differently it can be harnessed in a positive way. Look for ways to break through barriers (or maybe even recognizing there’s a barrier in the first place).

Friday, June 21 - Mars/Taurus sextile Mercury/Cancer, 9°12’. Great for finding practical solutions, and for getting on the same page as others.

Friday, June 28 - Sunday, June 30:

Mars/Taurus sextile Venus/Cancer, 14°39’

Mars/Taurus trine Ceres Rx/Capricorn, 15°37’

This is an aspect pattern called an “easy opposition,” with Mars providing a constructive outlet for the Venus-Ceres opposition. It can be extremely fertile, so if becoming a parent isn’t on your agenda right now, I’d abstain if I were you. Great for working through any domestic issues.

Thursday, July 4 - Saturday, July 6:

Mars/Taurus trine Juno/Virgo, 18°56’

Mars/Taurus sextile Saturn Rx/Pisces, 19°23’

Mars/Taurus opposite Pallas Rx/Scorpio, 19°49’

And this is an aspect pattern called a “mystic rectangle” - we have two oppositions whose ends are sextile/trine each other. It’s really good for cooperation, problem-solving with others’ help, and tackling difficult work.

Monday, July 15 - Mars/Taurus conjunct Uranus/Taurus, 26°19’. These two in aspect together promote independence. (I know this from close observation; many people in my family have some combination of the two!) We’re all about being ourselves, albeit in a calm, steady, down-to-earth Taurus way. (This is also the first day of the Republican Party convention. Yikes. MAGAt as an angry Mars-Uranus/Taurus good old boy….)

Saturday, July 20 - Mars/Taurus sextile Neptune Rx/Pisces, 29°50’. Ending on an inspired note; taking a practical vision forward with us. We can manifest our dreams into reality.

Moon in the sixth house of the year indicates that this year will be difficult in terms of completing daily tasks due to the presence of the moon in the sixth.

Exhausting yourself, straining your soul... and paying a huge price for comfort

Either the stage of searching for a lifeline is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

-

Stay well, Scorpio ascendants in the annual year.. It's okay, this time will pass..

The presence of Uranus in your first house indicates the presence of sudden thoughts on an unplanned day, month, and time. As if a light came on out of nowhere. It is a sign that carries a start towards a desire that was born of the moment.

This aforementioned matter will continue with you throughout the year. In changing your appearance, modifying your appearance, registering in a club, performing an operation, or something related to your appearance. Sudden thoughts follow thoughts. In one of my years, Uranus was in my first house, and without planning, I got braces, and this is an example.

When solar Leo rising , regardless of the energy that will accompany the person throughout the year. From new and diverse interests, from a love of appearing on the scene, an irresistible desire for public appearance, and the necessary boldness and confidence that they will possess in an unusual and exceeding manner. Their fame, wide acceptance, and great popularity.

However, I find that the Leo is closely linked to the emergence of a new, exciting and special emotional relationship. The Leo sign in the year is not free of romantic relationships for you, and the ignition of the romantic and emotional side in your yearly horoscope that bears the Leo horoscope.

If you have solar mars conjunction sun in the 12th house, you are preparing to discover enemies that you thought were family or friends, and often hostility that is spiritual harm or deep pain, but you are sure to emerge from it stronger spiritually.

The best year in my life was in the Ascendant of Sagittarius, and Sagittarius is my second home in AD. Oh God, I can’t tell you how I was focused on my success and studies. I had a lot of freedom, I made many friends, and I was very social, and the friendships I made in the Ascendant of Sagittarius are still with me ❤️

A year in which the ruler of your fourth house is on the 9th could be a year in which you travel or move abroad.( I have this next year so if i actually moved I’ll let you know)

When Mercury is in conjunction with the midheaven, you may have to travel for work.

I have also found this to be true when the yearly ruler is with the midheaven in the ninth house.💗💗

The presence of ascendant in the sign of ‫scorpio‬ or the presence of‫ Pluto ‬in your first house. They are two sites that touch the self in a detailed way. Through these two connotations, there is a transition from something to something new. As if it was bidding farewell to an old version and receiving a new version. It indicates that there is an intense change that you will live with and on these basis you will begin to receive the new version of you, the good or bad of which depends on your reception of it.💗

When you have a year in which you have a close ascendant or Pluto in your first house, this story will begin to happen to you. A story of your change and change, and it will be a year that supports change. It supports transition, supports modification, whatever the situation may be, whether in your appearance or outside. Try to embrace the changes and make them positive for you.💗

love u 💟..

━━ ❝ masterlist ❞

these are my personal observations and may not resonate with everyone. please take them with a grain of salt, as i'm not a professional astrologer! :))

♱ having transit saturn square natal chiron/pluto can indicate potential injuries or illness. the same goes for transit uranus conjuncting natal mars, but that happens unexpectedly.

♱ virgo moon is great at advising others on their feelings and decisions, but it's funny how they struggle with their own. they often feel confused and chaotic. (i’m speaking from experience!)

♱ mercury at 20° can indicate clearer ideas and communication. in scorpio, it brings confidence in what they say, but they can be reckless with their words and talk quickly. they might ask controlling questions and easily read others, being very observant.

♱ i feel like mercury conjunct pluto people have an easier time saying controversial things that could get them canceled, lmao. they dgaf. 

♱ moon opposite mercury may struggle to express their emotions and desires clearly, often feeling disconnected. they might say things that don’t align with their true feelings and tend to overthink. mood swings are also common.

♱ saturn retrograde natives might struggle with confidence, often feeling uncomfortable in authority roles and fearing failure. they can be quite pessimistic. they may avoid or struggle with taking responsibility and accountability, especially when younger, but with age, they learn to embrace it. things get better over time.

♱ jupiter retrograde natives might struggle to embrace positive changes in their lives due to a fear that they will be temporary. it's hard for them to fully express and feel happiness because they may feel it will be taken away from them.

♱ men with moon conjunct venus are incredibly caring and nurturing. they’re affectionate and understanding, usually avoiding conflicts. this placement will avoid arguments at all costs and strive to make things better. they also want the same treatment in return. in general this placement falls in love easily (which is not a bad thing! they find beauty in everything)

♱ many men with venus conjunct chiron have been cheated on or experienced significant heartbreak, leading them to question their worth and if they are enough. they may also have faced abuse, making them hesitant to pursue romantic interests. they could attract partners who are wounded and somewhat toxic.

♱ i've noticed that people with a taurus midheaven (mc) often have their own businesses or work as accountants or in real estate. both of these careers tend to be stable, long-term, and provide financial security.

♱ having chiron in the 5th house can bring delays and challenges in romantic life, making it take longer to enter the love scene. once they do, they love deeply and unconditionally. sometimes, romantic connections can offer them healing in some way.

♱ natives with the moon in the 11th house may find that friends are often in love with them due  their caring and comfy presence. many of their romantic connections can start as friendships as well.

Astro Observations for the Day

🌸Jupiter in 10th house people might work under their teachers or professors or mentors. Say you are a medical student and then you start to practice under that professor who taught you in the college. As Jupiter rules teachers and 10th is career, your teacher may play a close role in shaping your career.

🌸Periods of 5th lord can be very difficult to hold your job as 5th house is 8th from 10th house of career but it is also the 12th house from 6th house of job. So, the period of planets in 5th or 5th lord periods can indicate unemployment or losing job.

🌸If Ketu is trine a planet, read it as if the planet is in Scorpio. Say Ketu is in Capricorn and Trines Venus in Taurus , then your Venus may act like a scorpio Venus. You can apply this to all planets. Say Rahu in Taurus and Venus in Virgo, then Venus acts like an Aquarius Venus. (Rahu rules Aquarius and Ketu scorpio)

🌸Gemini risings may frequently work in hospital and health industry reason is Scorpio on 6th cusp and Pisces on 10th cusp. In fact, all air risings have potential to work in medical industry more than others due to water signs falling in 2nd, 6th and 10th houses.

🌸Men with Venus-Sun may have hard time keeping their relationship and marriage private. It's like everyone knows what's happening in their marital life. As Sun is a bright planet, it brings out the marriage life in public view.

🌸I have noticed Aquarius sign represents programming, internet, electronics, networks, electricity, social media etc. Reason being Aquarius rules the nerve network in the body and hence anything which connects us can come under Aquarius. Generally, people with Aquarius dominance are good in science and programming.

🌸People with Moon-Mercury opposition can often attract childish partners.

🌸Mercury in 5th house people desire to have 2 children often. Since Mercury rules siblings, these people often want their children to have a sibling and hence they prefer having 2 kids and also simultaneously. Some people also desire twins with Mercury in 5th.

🌸Transiting Jupiter hitting natal Mars for woman can mean boyfriend entering your life or a significant masculine partner. The closer the transit the more intense the attraction is.

For Readings DM :)

🧚🏼‍♀️✨Gemini Season🌙

Venus in Gemini- Venus in Gemini is quick, changeable. In love, there can be much more emphasis on communication and thinking. More gameplay and attractions. There can also be a little restless, craving fun and adventure more than anything. During this season, expect your mind to be buzzing with ideas, planning adventures, or untangling intellectual puzzles.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and connection, this air-sign energy can take on a chatty, highly verbal, extra-extroverted shine. This is also an occasion for seeking out a variety of new experiences. Take a different route to work, talk to strangers, or simply watch a movie that ordinarily might not interest you. Don’t imagine that you must travel to the ends of the Earth to find newness. The downside is that this can be a difficult time to attempt work that requires deep, sustained focus. Be honest with yourself about your capacity right now, and avoid making big commitments you’re unlikely to be able to keep.

On May 30, the moon will be in Pisces, which means that will be more compassionate and comfortable energy. You can travel to a place by the sea or be somewhere more dreamy and seaside. Sun conj Venus- you can feel more inspired for relationships and other people.

Moon conj saturn- this It makes you feel more responsible for loved ones, especially family members, woman. Moon sex uranus- something more unpredictable can happen in a postive way. Moon conj neptune- emotions can be more dreamlike. This day is going to be very positive and you will feel great energy.

On June 1, the moon will enter the sign of Aries. Aries is an impulsive, quick, responsive sign. Emotions will be more expressive, direct and that it is good for expressing energy. It is also saturn day which means that things will be much more responsible and clear.

On June 3, Mercury will enter the sign of Gemini. Communication will be much more playful, all over the place. It may be the time that may demand attention and adjustments to challenges in life. Focus is required over familial matters, emotional outbursts that can disturb domestic peace and prosperity. life.Your innovation of ideas will be strong and with a purpose; you will complete your assignments/commitments with dedication; but vigilance over each prospect is necessary.

On June 6, moon will enter the gemini. New moon will be in sign of gemini. The Gemini new moon is the time to set new aims for your beliefs and friendships. New ideas can inspire and invigorate you, so be open-minded and ready to learn. Get curious! In friendships, decide to give and receive support. Begin to feel connected to others in a new way. Learn about yourself through your friendships. Moon will be conj Mercury- Which is great to express your thoughts and express your intentions on the paper because Mercury is ruler by communication mind and the way you think so is actually great time to set your intentions and write them down. You can also express your feelings more easily and freely. Moon will be conj Venus- It's also great time to spend the day with people that are actually close to you or you feel more enlightened to. U can also be in more loving mood and be more sexually attractive than usual. Fortunately, you are more likely to attract love and beauty under this influence. Moon will be square Saturn-Relationship problems will more likely be due to your emotional immaturity than anything your partner has done.

On June 9, Mars will enter Taurus. If until now it was a fast and bold energy, now the energy will slow down more and things will become more serious and stable. Mars in Taurus is slow and not so bold, it makes slow and deliberate movements, so the energy will also be more like that. In astrology, Mars is the planet of drive, ambition, and courage; when expressed through the fixed earth filter of Taurus, this drive and ambition become very groundedand very practical. Sensible, even, which is not often a word associated with Mars. The Mars in Taurus transit can be very defensive, and in a difficult situation, this is definitely energy you would want on your side.

On June 12

Mercury square Saturn can bring negative thinking that leads to pessimism, fear, worry, apprehension, indecision, procrastination, sadness and loneliness. A larger view of the world must replace narrow-mindedness and paying too much attention to minute details.

On June 17, mercury & venus will enter cancer. Mercury in Cancer means that communication can be more emotional, sensitive, deep. More can happen in connection with family and relatives. It also brings a more emotional approach to people and understanding on a more compassionate level. Mercury will be conjunct Venus good for relationships and conversations. On will be in scoprio which means that emotions can be more deeply directed but perhaps hidden and not so exposed. This day can be more emotional. Venus in Cancer it brings relationships orientation towards loved ones and people who are close to you. More feeling at home and during this time you can spend more time with people who give you warmth and joy. You can go to someone's house more or spend time in a comfortable room. During this time, you can be more exposed to wanting to be in your comfort zone. Mental and social overstimulation gives way to cozy exchanges across the breakfast nook, and the intimacy of a small group may be preferable to the chaos of “everyone.” This wouldn’t be the worst time for a romantic (or platonic) getaway for two. And if you’re stuck on where to go, nostalgia-fueled reveries to the places of your past will tug at your heartstrings.

On June 22, there will be full moon in the sign of Capricorn. It’s called Strawberry Moon. Capricorns are rule followers with a highly developed moral compass. From a young age, it is impressed upon them that their whole sense of worth and meaning is based on their ability to hunker down and force their way to the finish line. Capricorns collect responsibility. And they always seem to take it all on. Capricorns need to be the one to fix everything. Responsibility is their natural state. Moon will be oppostie mercury & venus- Thoughts and emotions will be more difficult to balance. It will be difficult for you to emotionally harmonize with your feelings and thoughts. But It's a good day to get things off your chest, expressing and releasing any feelings that have been building up in self-containment. Moon will trine Mars- you will be able to react impulsively emotionally. And made a quick emotional decision. It may come more from the comfort of security and you may be looking more for emotional security and stability.

𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

reblog and answer as honestly as you can (you can answer with either tropical or sidereal placements, but do mention which one)

1 ✧ lunar ruled/lunar dominants, do you always feel eclipse energy? [lunar ruled = cancer asc or moon as chart ruler]

2 ✧ those who have pluto aspecting their sun/moon/rising (in either transit or natal), have people told you/been telling you that you look dead?

my answer: when pluto first entered aquarius and opposed my sun everybody and their mother were telling me that I was starting to look dead everyday.

3 ✧ venus ruled/venus in 1H/10H/venus conj. asc/mc, do people always tell you that you are pretty? Like is it the first thing? [venus ruled = libra/taurus asc or venus as chart ruler]

my answer: I'm a libra asc and I don't always get compliments but getting called pretty was the only ever compliment I used to get. Yeah it's usually the first thing people would tell me.

4 ✧ venus conj. jupiter/venus in 9H, have you ever crushed on your teacher? or dated a teacher?

5 ✧ what annoys you/makes you angry & how does your anger show up? what's your moon and mars placement/aspects?

my answer: nothing really offends me at firsthand anymore and even when it does I can hide it well, but what I do hate is when people just keep repeating the same things over and over again. In the past, I would get into physical fights ☠, but now I either call people out or stay quiet. I have a 8H taurus mars sq. saturn & neptune, and 4H capricorn moon opposite mercury.

6 ✧ which song(s) best describes how you feel in love/in a relationship & what is your moon and venus placement?

my answer: "religion" by lana del rey, "false god" by taylor swift, and "humen tumse pyar kitna" by kishore kumar and I have virgo venus in 12H and capricorn moon in 4H

7 ✧ what's your favorite placement in your birth chart + the least favorite?

my answer: I like my libra asc and 10H mercury the most. My least favorite is my virgo venus tho, and that's bcuz most of the interpretations I see are kinda boring and unrelatable for me.

Energy Update: Mercury Retrograde, August 2024

Starting on August 5th, Mercury enters retrograde 3/4 of 2024. The retrograde runs from 04° Virgo to 21° Leo and makes thrice repeating trines with our Wounded Healer Chiron in Aries and squares to Uranus in Taurus. Retrograde Mercury will also conjunct the Sun and Venus once (as it does most retrograde cycles) and sextile Mars in Gemini once, as well.

The Basics

Mercury, our planet of communication, technology, and travel, is the fastest-moving planet in our solar system and retrogrades 3 to 4 times every year. This means that Mercury’s retrograde cycle is “business as usual” and isn’t something that should be feared but it is a change in the energy signature of one of our personal planets, so it’s worth paying attention and making adjustments where necessary.

Retrogrades don’t mean that the planet ACTUALLY is moving backward, of course. It is a perspective shift in our perception of the planetary movement through our skies. In this way, our perspectives and perceptions can get a bit twisted during these times and it is easy to miss key details or communicate ineffectively.

During Mercury’s retrograde, Mercury traces its path backward in our skies and it is considered better to go over your work rather than start something new. Mercury passes over these degrees in the sky thrice: the first time during its pre-retrograde shadow, the second time while it moves backward during its retrograde, and again a third time while it moves forward in its post-retrograde shadow. Because of this, we all get the cosmic opportunity to relearn and refocus on certain things that are going awry in our lives.

By looking at the degrees of Mercury’s retrograde and comparing it to your birth chart, you can understand how Mercury’s retrograde cycle might affect you. If you don’t want to do this yourself, you can always purchase a Mercury retrograde transit chart from me on Kofi.

Mercury retrogrades affect some people more than others. By order of significance, these people are most likely to be affected by a Mercury retrograde:

If you have Sun, Moon, Ascendant in Gemini and Virgo, or Mercury closely conjunct (within 2°) to your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant

If your natal Mercury was in retrograde or out of bounds

If the current retrograde crosses over your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant (in conjunction) or makes a square or opposition

If the current retrograde crosses over your Mercury, Venus, or Mars or makes a square or opposition with them

If the current retrograde makes a trine with one of your personal planets or a sextile to your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant

If you work in a job that involves technology, communication, or travel or are currently undergoing a task that involves one of these domains during this retrograde cycle

If you live with, are in a relationship with, or closely work with a person who meets the above criteria

One can assume that the more of these factors in play, the stronger you may experience the effects of a Mercury retrograde cycle. This isn’t to say that what you experience will be bad or wrong – some people experience a lot of freedom from Mercury’s journey. The more open you are willing to give up control and stay open to the ever-changing landscape of a Mercury cycle, the easier it will be.

The Nitty Gritty

Now that we’ve gone over the basics let’s take a look at the specifics of THIS Mercury retrograde cycle. Mercury will retrograde backward from 04° Virgo to 21° Leo. This puts the stressors of this retrograde on the early mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) and late fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). The switchover from Fixed to Mutable signs can be viewed as the energy of relaxation, both of effort and intent. It’s important that we need both types of energy in our lives (both fixed/controlled and mutable/relaxed); this retrograde cycle is likely to bring up issues of imbalance between these two differing energy signatures. You may find yourself stuck on one side of this equation (all relaxed and unable to accomplish anything or all fixed and unable to stand down).

Mercury will interact with all of our other personal planets (the Sun, Moon, and Venus through conjunction and Mars in sextiles), which shows that this retrograde will take on a more personal nature. Although we experience Mercury’s retrogrades 3-4 times a year, not all of them pack as much punch as others. This Mercury cycle will be inside our homes and likely impact our daily lives and our interactions with our Others.

Additionally, Mercury will make three trines to Chiron in Aries (sitting on top of that touchy point from our total solar eclipse back in April) and three squares to Uranus in Taurus. Unlike our personal planet aspects, these don’t influence our personal lives as directly, but they will impact the general energy of the world at large, which sometimes can trickle into our personal lives. [Note here that if you have personal planets that interact in aspect with these Mercury-Uranus and Mercury-Chiron moments, this may impact you personally.]

Let’s start with Chiron because it’s the energy we’ve already stewed in. Chiron isn’t one of the planets but an asteroid that has caught the interest of many astrologers in recent years. Often called the Wounded Healer, it represents a pain point or an unhealed wound. Back in April, we experienced a Mercury retrograde that coincided with our eclipse season, and during the total solar eclipse, the Sun was conjunct with both Mercury and Chiron. This was a whopper of a day that many people are still reeling from. Although Chiron has kept moving, it is still only 4° from this fate-filled spot. That means that, to a greater or lesser degree, each connection between Mercury and Chiron is another chance for us to revisit this energy.

“Revisit,” being one of the big re’s, is one of the keywords to understanding Mercury retrograde lessons. We are being given a chance to revisit, revise, rework, and reimagine. With Chiron involved, it’s likely to hurt (at least at first). It may feel like too much. But its worth remembering that Chiron isn’t something that happens TO you, it is considered to be a force of strong healing energy working FOR you.

It’s also worth remembering that Mercury will pass over this point with Chiron three times: once in forward motion during its pre-retrograde shadow, a second while moving backward in retrograde, and a third time in forward motion during its post-retrograde shadow.

Newsflash: you don’t have to get it right the first time through.

A common metaphor for imagining retrograde cycles is as a lesson or “hole” in the ground with which we must fall in/pass over/encounter trice to gain the full experience of the situation.

The story unfolds something like this:

Oh, there’s a hole in the ground! I fell into it because I didn’t know that it was there. It’s not my fault. (pre-retrograde shadow phase)

Oh, there’s a hole in the ground. I fell into it again. I did know it was there…maybe I should learn to avoid this hole? (retrograde phase)

And, if all goes well: Oh hey, that’s a hole in the ground! It’s the same hole I fell into before. I know how to walk around this now. (post-retrograde phase)

If the solar eclipse in April passed by uneventfully, you may find that this Mercury-Chiron set of trines also does. If the eclipse was especially difficult, consider this a chance to gain better insight into what happened and why. We can re-frame these transits to be for our own good by being open to the experiences of Mercury’s underworld journeys.

Lastly, we should discuss Mercury square Uranus. Mercury and Uranus have a lot in common—they both involve and control our brain processes to a certain point. If Mercury is the thinking brain, Uranus can be viewed as pure inspiration. Mercury is quick-moving and changeable; Uranus is slow-moving but enacts drastic and lasting change. Many modern astrologers view Uranus as the higher octave of Mercurial energy; it is Mercury’s energy infused with the beyond.

For the most part, Uranus’s energy simply happens to us. It is the lightning bolt in the Tower card, the hurricane that washes away a whole floodplain, or the volcano that awakens to bring destruction and rebirth. What I mean by this is that it is so far beyond us that it can often feel catastrophic, but – like the eclipses – Uranus has a way of blowing open opportunities that we couldn’t even have imagined. We are all stuck little humans who don’t like to change our own lives and sometimes something beyond us seems to reach down and make that change FOR us so that we are forced to move.

We don’t get a choice in what happens to us in situations like this, but we do get a choice in how we respond.

Two out of these three Mercury square Uranus days are full moons, which puts extra emphasis on their energy signatures. On one of these two days (8/19), the Sun in Leo will be conjunct to Mercury and also square to Uranus in Taurus, making a fixed t-square in the sky. Of the three days, this is the one to watch out for and potentially lie low through. The other two dates are days to encourage divine inspiration if that is your thing.

Watch out for how you speak during these rough squares, as misunderstandings will run rampant, and tempers may be at an all-time low. Uranus is never a patient planet, but in Taurus, it can become a raging bull in about six seconds flat. Give yourself and your others as much grace as you can during this time. Shut your mouth entirely, perhaps, and work on listening (something Mercury in egoic Leo definitely can have a problem with at times).

Any time a retrograde bridges the cusp between signs, you can guess that we will need to dig deep into the differences between the two signs somehow. Virgo is our mutable earth sign, often concerned with work, perfectionism, and effort. Leo is our fixed fire sign, more likely to be the lazy lion basking in the sun while the gruntlings do the work. Remember here, there is no judgment on these energies: there is a time to do the work and a time to bask in the Sun. The problem comes into play when you only do one and not the other.

Standard Mercury retrograde warnings apply:

Technology tends to go a bit wonky, so save your work often and proofread twice before you hit send on an important document. Mercury retrograde is considered the ideal time to edit: reread, rewrite, rework. Travel will take twice as long and almost inevitably involve detours—pack your patience and determination to enjoy the ride. If a person from your past shows up again, look into the unfinished business, but don’t expect it to last past Mercury stations direct. Mercury is a trickster: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

All that glitters is never gold during Mercury’s retrograde cycles, but Fool’s Gold can be its own reward.

🖤▪️ Astro Notes ▪️🖤

♣️ Gemini placements can be very curious about everything they do, tho these people are very curious most of times. Their curiosity hits even in the most unexpected moments. ♣️

♣️ Pisces Placements are big indicators of someone who is very artistic and charismatic♣️

♣️ Aries Venus and Mars can get very jealous and very easy, i describe this as the bulls when they see the red color. They are not aggresive but jealousy can suffocate them sometimes ♣️

♣️Virgo Mars is a very attractive placement, most of these people can be switch. (Dominant or submissive depends on their needs)♣️

♣️ You just know that a Capricorn Mars is gonna do everything for you to feel good, doesn't matter how you feel these people will always try to make you feel good ♣️

♣️ Taurus/Libra Venus can love so passionately, these people are the Venus definition, these type of people can spend the whole day to make you love yourself, and to value yourself :> such cute people ♣️

♣️Your 5th house Sign can show you how like to experience sex/love:♣️

For example: 5th house in Scorpio can be very passionate, a lot of kinks

5th house in Aquarius can make someone to try different and new things during love time

5th house in Gemini might be the type of people who wanna make love all day either to have more round of love.

♣️ I don't think i said this before but Uranus - ascendant aspects want to be different from the public/ other people, and that's not a bad thing they are doing their own things in their own unique world ♣️

♣️ Sun in Scorpio have a very sexual aura around, that's the energy their radiate ♣️

♣️Sun in Aries are ultra dominants, i don't think i ever saw an Aries to be submissive, they just like to be in power and control all the time ♣️

♣️Mercury - Pluto aspects might like dirty talk too much, is like they see this as the key in their love life, i don't know why but i think they might lose interest if you don't talk dirty with them 😭

♣️When Moon/Neptune are transitioning your first house you are gonna be more sensibile than before. I said this about Moon but Neptune here makes you to heal yourself a bit slower because, you are going in a new emotional cycle so you need first to heal your wounds to enter this cycle

♣️Any planets/asteroids in in your fifth house are gonna influence your sexual life, especially if you have a 5th stiellium, you kinda are meant to feel pleasure:

Example: Saturn in the 5th house, this placement, Saturn is gonna make you feel very intense he will try to make you learn a lot of things during love time

Mars in 5th house is a very passionate placement

here Mars needs to feel pleasure at a very deep level, is also a very artistic placement, Mars tells you to take attitude and to enjoy

Uranus in the 5th house, well....here Uranus is telling you to try different things in order to find your favorites things during love time

♣️ Juno - Mars (harmonious) aspect can show your spouse will be very sensual with you and you will have a lot of good toke together

If it's makes and harsh aspect that means your spouse can have hard time to be intimate, maybe they are afarid of something and they will fear to be intimate. Together you need to feel both good

♣️ Juno - Chiron aspects: there is a high chance for the relationship to be a karmic one and too need to solve a lot of karmic things together, either your spouse heal your wounds either you will be the one to heal their wounds. It matters because you 2 will need to heal eachother.. if it makes and harsh aspect with Juno then the relationship can turn into a healing karmic process when you both will learn a lot of things about life together ♣️

♣️ Venus - Chiron aspects need to learn to give love either to receive love from others ❗❗❗

If it's a harmonious aspect (Semi sextile, sextile,trine, conjunct, quintile, bi-quintile) between these 2, you need to give love to others, to give love to the ones you think they deserve to be loved. But you also need to love yourself and to be happy with your own person

If it's in a harsh aspect (Semi square, square, opposition, conjunct, quincunx) between these 2, you need to learn to receive love from others, because it might be hard for you to feel love, to get affection from others :(, you also need to love yourself to start being happy with your own body, mind, heart and soul. Be happy with everything around you ❣️

♣️ Lilith in Virgo/6th house, might have an obsession with trying to be perfect, trying to be on everyone likes, these people can be hard on themselves :(, please take a deep breath of air and remember is good to be different, is good to be imperfect, is good to be yourself and never change yourself just because someone wants that. I wanna hug you all because you have it really hard on these subjects (⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃

♣️ People with water Moons (Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer) can possess psychic powers, that's because water represents the subconscious mind and these Moon can have their subconscious awaken very often ♣️

♣️ People with Saturn in 4th/6th/8th/12th houses really like to sleep a lot because they can be tired 24/7 😭♣️

♣️ Venus in water and fire signs can be very posesive of their partners, they are very jealous too and horny all the time 🤣😭♣️.

♣️Venus in Earth signs are most likely to take it slowly and very serious when they met potential partners, for them because it's important to take it step by step 😲♣️

♣️I can already see how Venus in Air signs will talk a lot with their partners about everything that happened in their life its so cute to met such people to tell you everyday stories of their life🥹

♣️Juno (3) asteroid in Air Signs (Gemini,Libra, Aquarius) can find a really attractive partner who they can talk all day with, is something very unique in their partners 🥹♣️

♣️ Can we talk about how Midheaven and Juno harmonious aspects (Semi sextile, Bi-quintile, Quintile, sextile, Trine, conjunction) show that a lot of people would like you as a couple?🥹 A lot of people will love you 2 together 😲

If it's an harsh aspect to Midheaven (Semi Square, Opposition, Conjunction, Square) be careful because people might be very jealous of you. Especially Juno - Midheaven conjunction because is the strongest 🥹

How people with Mercury in Air signs type messages so fast 😭😭, like they can spam you with messages just in 2 minutes

With Love, Harmoonix❣️

Astrology Observations🤍

Please do not repost my work on any other social media platforms.🤍

In synastry, if you have no ‘typical’ attraction indicators, but you still feel a strong attraction towards someone, you want to look at the rulers of your 5th and 8th houses (7th can apply too). If the rulers of your 5th, 7th, or 8th houses are making significant aspects to the other persons personal planets, you will likely feel an attraction towards them. I have also found that the asteroids Juno, Eros, & Lilith can also account for an attraction between two people who don’t seem to have major Venus & Mars contacts in synastry.

It’s not uncommon to move homes in a year in which your solar return Ascendant is the same as your natal 4th house cusp. For example, let’s say you have Taurus on your natal 4th house cusp, and your upcoming solar return ascendant is in Taurus: a move may be in store for you, or perhaps you will be spending more time at home or with family.

Speaking of family, if you have the ruler of your 4th house placed in your 10th, you may come from a family that is well-known. Alternatively, there may be an event that occurs in your family life that becomes public knowledge or highly publicized. With this placement, your home, family-life, career & reputation are closely intertwined.

It’s so interesting because every time I have met a significant romantic partner, I had planets transiting my 5th and 7th houses. The Sun & Venus were the most significant when it came to meeting a potential partner. I am a heterosexual female, and thus the Sun transiting my 7th house represented a significant male (with romantic potential since it is the 7th house) entering my life. We All know Venus represents love, values, finances, and relationships in general.

People with Saturn in the 3rd, tend to have really good memory. These people are extremely observant and they often remember small details about people, places, and things.

Venus square Saturn or Uranus in a composite chart often points to an “on &off-again” relationship. Although these relationships tend to go on for years, I have ultimately found that many of them are not “meant to be”. This is often the relationship/person that took you a while to move on from.

A Leo rising in a composite chart can indicate that you and your partner met whilst participating in a hobby or in an atmosphere that values creativity, art & fun. Alternatively, you two may be well-known as a couple or most people know that you are in a relationship with each other.

Gemini On the 5th house cusp often points to a person who has many different interests and hobbies. This is a person who enjoys singing, working out, designing clothes etc… they truly enjoy it all.

Leo midheavens liked to be admired. It sounds “cliché” but it’s true. They want to be widely known as successful and competent. Although, Leo is a sign that’s associated with fame, having a Leo midheaven doesn’t guarantee fame. Nevertheless, as a Leo midheaven you want to leave this earth knowing that you did something significant with your life.

Transit squares from Pluto or Saturn to your Natal Sun or Moon, are probably going to be the most difficult times in your life (emotionally & identity wise). I’ve said this before, but these transits are not easy at all, and they cause you to reflect on your relationships, YOURSELF, and where you intend to go with your life. This transit is exacerbated if transit Pluto or Saturn is squaring your Sun or Moon from your 6th, 8th, or 12th house.

People who have Scorpio in the 1st house or on the 6th house cusp are more likely to experience “extreme” changes in their weight/physical appearance as they navigate through life. This is not necessarily something that should be feared as it can manifest in many different ways. For instance, someone who has Scorpio on the 6th may have been overweight their entire life, but decide they want to start going to the gym. 2 years down the line they’ve fallen in love with working out, and look completely different to how they did when they first started exercising. For others, a health situation may cause sudden or extreme weight/physical changes. This is because the 6th house represents our physical health & Scorpio is a sign that symbolizes transformation, healing & crises.

If you travel a lot, you would benefit from looking at your relocation chart for the location you travelled to. This is more suitable for people who will be in that location for an extended period of time. For example, let’s say you go & study abroad. This is different to astrocartography as the relocated chart will show you how you will behave in that new location & how you will be perceived by others. Whereas, I personally believe that astrocartography shows us how external influences will shape our experiences in that particular location.

Mars is currently in retrograde in Gemini, and it will stay there until January 12th 2023. (Please note that it will then go direct and only leave Gemini in March of 2023). Sagittarius risings you have Mars retrograde transiting your 7th house. Be careful of the potential tendency to become quarrelsome with your romantic or business partner! Mars retrograde can indicate where you will be devoting a lot of your energy & drive. However, it can also represent the area of life in which conflicts are likely to arise. For Aquarius Risings, old flings are likely to reappear at this time. You’re also going to want to focus a lot of your hobbies and interests. If you have children, they may be more difficult or energetic than usual during this time. Virgo risings, your career will be your focus over the next few months. Be careful as coming across as too “pushy” or aggressive in the public eye. Advancement is great, but be careful of stepping on too many toes on your way to the top. Gemini Risings, you are likely feeling very energetic at this moment. Many of you may resist restlessness or stagnation right now. Starting a new exercise regimen is also a possibility. Be careful of the potential tendency to let your temper get the better of you during this transit. (I will do the remaining zodiac signs in my next post).

Empty Houses

So, before I start, I think we just need to talk about some misconceptions first, one being that an empty house has no meaning or value to your life, the lack of placements in that area being equated with complete silence, like an empty house. The most common practice people will use, when trying to understand empty houses, is by looking at the houses "lord", aka the ruling planet of the empty houses' ruling cusp.

 

When looking at the house lords, I prefer the modern method (but still use Traditional alongside it):

Aries - Mars

Taurus + Libra - Venus

Gemini + Virgo - Mercury

Cancer - Moon

Leo - Sun

Scorpio - Pluto

Sagittarius – Jupiter

 Capricorn – Saturn

 Aquarius - Uranus

Pisces – Neptune

 

When looking at house lords, we look towards where that placement falls in our chart, using the house it falls under, any aspects, and if you apply it, malefic/benefic delineations to understand how that houses themes express themselves. So, say someone has an empty Cancer 3H, the lord of that house would be the Moon, meaning that we look to their Moon placements, any aspects towards it, etc. to understand how they (3H) communicate their emotions.

For me, under that same circumstance (empty Cancer 3H), let's say the house cusp is at 25° 25°- Aries- square degree influence- causes conflict between (25°) their desire for leadership and (square/cancer) their understanding of being able to express themselves as that leader. So, through house lords and other theories, we're able to see that we are able to find meaning in empty houses. Especially when it comes to transits through those houses, we can miss out on a lot in our chart if we treat these transits as *entering a void*. So, now to go through the houses and what they mean on their own! If these don't apply, try applying the degree aspect method and see if you have square or inconjunction degree influences over said house.

 

EMPTY 1H

This is someone who doesn't have to put thought into who they are, most struggles they face when it comes to their identity having to do with almost being careless with who they represent themselves as. This is someone who doesn’t feel the need to prove themselves. An empty 1H is someone who... isn't by any means immune to insecurity, but they aren't driven by it. Doubting themselves, if they're able, only happens in response to failure, needing a direct cause to make them start thinking about themselves.

 

EMPTY 2H

This is someone who has an easy time communicating their morals, values, and need for stability to people, sometimes overstepping by laying out an NDA for a new friend. Empty 2H folks tend to be... while they value their possessions, this is someone who isn't broken by something breaking. If they lose something, to them, all they can do is either find it or replace it. There is no intermission with them, they push forward.

 

EMPTY 3H

This is someone who... may have issues with recognizing social dynamics and cliques because they're so ready to give everyone an equal opportunity to get to know them, usually never considering what can be done with all that information. An empty 3H shows someone who, really, talks to hear themselves talk. While the house may be empty, this is where the silence of it becomes uncomfortable, pushing the native to make up for it on their own.

 

EMPTY 4H

Empty 4H's tend to have a cohesive home life, possibly getting in trouble for not switching things up enough. These are folks who tend to go home with the intentions of staying home, entering a new mindset depending on what side of the door they're on. The 4H being empty can show someone who, actually, needs an empty house. Not having any placements, these folks aren't used to not being able to escape the stress, so shadow work literally starts at what they consider to be "home".

 

EMPTY 5H

An empty 5H represents someone who, maybe even though having a touch childhood, still never lost their connection to their innocence and curiosity. This is someone who's never felt scared of or embarrassed by their own need to share and receive love. The 5H being empty shows someone who tends to follow trends more than starting them, and it's because they don't mind being introduced to something new. Their love isn't limited by any insecurity, their heart reaches as far as consent allows them to.

EMPTY 6H

This is someone who has little problem staying organized, or lives life so comfortably that they have their own version of being organized. These will be the 6H cusps to have their own system, holding to it no matter how much sense it makes. When they don't need to do a lot of work to maintain their life, this can sometimes lead to them... not being so great at adhering to other peoples' schedules. They tend to assume everything will take the least amount of work, sometimes falling apart because they didn't check up.

EMPTY 7H

An empty 7H shows someone who, usually, doesn't ever know the relationship is going south until they're literally told it is, assuming everything is alright as long as the two people who need to be together [are] together. They're truly about "us against the world", having a habit of forgetting, romantically and platonically, to check up on the other person and actually ask what they need out of a partner. This 7H needs to focus on more active communication, even if they don't think they "need" it.

EMPTY 8H

This house being empty shows someone who has no hesitation in how they share themselves with people, simply following the desire to be closer to someone and wanting to be the one who changes them for the better. And it isn't necessarily their goal to change the people they love, but intimacy to them is pushing each other forward through the anxiety and fear, not letting each other get stuck in feeling out of place-- fear they forget to say they don't really experience.

EMPTY 9H

This is someone who swings around a sword with three edges, one who needs no validation for their beliefs, one who sees no limitations in exploring other peoples' beliefs, and one who asks so many questions that people perceive it as doubt. Empty 9H'ers are... always looking to understand, over anything else. I think sometimes digging too much can get them in trouble, but it's never enough to put an end to their curiosity, because that ease in their approach to expansion already accounts for growing pains.

 

EMPTY 10H

The 10H being empty represents someone who doesn't usually feel a strong desire to change who they are to affect perceptions of them, not seeing value in being [known] if it means they have to be known for being someone else. This is someone who... for better or worse, rushes past criticism, setting their minds to a goal and only accepting failure if that specific goal isn't reached. This is representative of a hard worker, but tunnel vision can be their worst enemy in terms of other areas in life.

 

EMPTY 11H

I think, when it comes to the 11H being empty, this can either represent someone who finds ease in surrounding themselves with people, or finds ease in knowing they don't need that many people in their lives. An empty 11H shows someone who's dreams change constantly, maybe so much that people lose belief in their ability to follow through, but everything is connected. They may bounce around a lot, but every "thoughtless" risk they take has purpose.

 

EMPTY 12H

Probably being the most intimidating house to face silence in, an empty 12H, to me, either represents someone who is in constant communication with themselves, or is so driven to push past their subconscious that they don't find the closure they need. An empty 12H shows ease in the connection between conscious and subconscious, but not everyone can handle a relationship they have little choice in being a part of. Sometimes it's silencing the endlessness of their anxiety that helps them find the answers they need.

mars, ego death, and “b*mbofication” ❤️‍🔥

❤️‍🔥 heidi montag (popular y2k singer, mtv reality tv star, and model): dhanishta chandra and kuja amatyakaraka

💳 before we divulge further into the y2k b*mbo aesthetic, i think it is best to further divulge in the process’s meaning and origin. the aesthetic’s overall ditzy demeanor is symbolic of the benefits one receives from the absence of overthinking and prevention of needing to justify their behaviors and actions to others, especially those opinions who they do not truly value. thus, resulting in a jovial and advantageous attitude towards both themself and their life. the act of removing care, letting go, and radically surrendering to what comes and leaves in your life is an “ego death”. in engaging in abandoning care for frivolous occurrences and surrendering to the unknown, you are slowly encouraging ketu to enter your life, as he is said to have no head (thus, no ego, no face, no sensing, no thinking, or no expressions). a common misconception is that ketu denies, however ketu is not the embodiment of denial but rather indifference. this is why the house ketu resides in in your chart represents the aspects in your life in which you will remain indifferent towards, as you have already experienced the triumphs and tribulations of this house in a previous lifetime. in turning away from caring or indulgence, the item/person you once valued/desired now craves to win your attachment more. this is why individuals popular in this aesthetic seem to live unabashedly and frivolously and continue to receive bouts of wealth. in becoming a blank canvas or black hole (also linked to ketu), you are inviting the universe to bestow various paints (people or items) to adorn yourself with. this is ultimately why kuja (mars: the graha of rage, celibacy, determination, and power) needs to learn from the elderly presence of ketu (neutrality and disassociation) in order to abide in the graha’s naturally youthful energy.

❤️‍🔥 victoria’s secret angel’s bombshell campaign models: candace swanepoel: chitra surya and dhanishta chandra; doutzen kroes: dhanishta chandra conjunct kuja; josephine skriver: possible aries surya and kuja atmakaraka/amatyakaraka depending on time of birth; and lindsay ellingson: scorpio surya and potential chitra chandra

* note that the majority of vs angels themselves are influenced by kuja. the founder of vs (roy raymond) is an aries surya and dhanishta chandra atmakaraka as well

🪞 in addition to martian natives’ frequent adaptations of ketu’s care free attitudes, their frequently attractive looks are often what draws the adoration of the masses to them. this is because kuja is the son of bhumi (earth) and varaha (the boar). while i have detailed bhumi’s prevalence in depth in previous explorations, i will explore the relationship between the two deities here. bhumi, being the embodiment of the earth, is fertility and divinity. her iconography traces back to the beginning of the zodiac in aries (as she is often depicted with ashwini’s emblems of elephants and horses). her overall earthy nature and varaha’s ether elemental nature combines within the mrigashira, chitra, and dhanishta nakshatras. as each nakshatra lies in the zodiac transitional stage from earth to air (ex. taurus-gemini, virgo-libra, and capricorn-aquarius). this is because varaha was mythologized to have lifted the earth (bhumi) out of the cosmic ocean. the cosmic ocean is the container of amrita, immortality. in greek mythology, said immortality is said to be bestowed in the four horses of aries (the realm of bhumi). when the asura hiranyaksha (attacker, k*dnapper, and obstructor) stole bhumi and hid her in the primordial waters, vishnu appeared as varaha to rescue her. varaha slew the asura, and retrieved the earth from the ocean, lifting it on his tusks, and restored bhumi to her place in the universe. in a similar fashion, so too do the public respond to martian individuals. the majority of worshipping men wish to serve as each kuja woman’s varaha: saving her, idealizing her, lifting her up to the highest places in society. this is why uttara ashadha, the most masculine nakshatra, is symbolized by the similar tusks to that of aries and varaha. these tusks convey masculine power and leadership, in worshipping, adoring, and obsessing over these women, men are more called to feel powerful and energized, as evidenced by large, male-dominated corporations that are geared towards women (such as victoria’s secret).

❤️‍🔥 khloe and kim kardashian (both are considered american socialites, media personalities, businesswomen, and had heavily publicized s*x lives). kim: scorpio lagna conjunct kuja and chitra surya. khloe: mrigashira chandra, dhanishta lagna, and kuja amatyakaraka

🍹 whereas, it is often women who serve as asura hiranyaksha in the earthly plane, behaving as jealous or aggressive towards martian women (whether they are also kuja natives or not). this accumulation of ill will, whether subconscious or conscious, is often more harmful for the projector and not the attempted receptor. when a person chooses to become a blank canvas and chooses the impressions that may last upon them, they are able to choose to not receive or regurgitate the energy they do not align with. this usage of reflection is why kuja must learn from its proneness to accidents/tragedy and begin to reject said accidents/tragedy via reflection and indifference and not be consumed by them. this jealousy and projection is an extreme prohibitory measure in the female path. this act of feminine division is unknowingly engaging one’s rahu: the graha of difference and duality, as the aggressor/projector is dividing themselves from the martian woman (instead of being inspired and finding amrita within).

❤️‍🔥 emma roberts (actress known for her portrayal of a multitude of “exaggerated” mean girl characters in “scream queens”, “american horror story”, “wild child”, “we’re the millers”, etc.): dhanishta surya conjunct kuja and scorpio lagna

🛍️ in chinese practices, it is often said that when men frequently interact together in friendships, they tend to reduce their yang, individualistic nature around one another. when men are in the presence of women, they increase their yang, as varaha did with bhumi. whereas, when women frequently interact together, they increase yin in one another and garner greater beauty. this is due to the feminine, yin, watery nature of each other. the beauty and personality of a woman is said to be denoted by their chandra and kuja placements. this is why these grahas are used to analyze one’s behavior, nature, and qualities. thus, water signs are considered to be of 100% water, however the martian nakshatra’s are considered to be of a 1/4 water (with dhanishta being an exception and being 100% water, as it is designed to be the total, healed representation of martian energies). therefore, in positively engaging with martian individuals, who have some or all properties of water, one is heightening their prevalence of yin within the body.

❤️‍🔥 rachel mcadams (best known for her acting in romantic films and her iconic character in “mean girls”) and lindsay lohan (co-star in “mean girls”, popular y2k actress, and well-known star of the “b*mbo summit”. rachel: mrigashira chandra, scorpio surya, and chitra lagna. lindsay: mrigashira lagna, aries chandra, and kuja amatyakaraka

* note that the film was directed by tina fey (a chitra chandra and kuja amatyakaraka native and co-starred amanda seyfried (a scorpio surya and kuja atmakaraka/amatyakaraka native, depending on the exact time in which she was born) and lacey chalbert (potential dhanishta chandra)

🍒 the act of refusing to allow the jealousy and self-preservation to intrude your mind and put to rest your ego is considered a form of goddess worship. goddesses, such as the lakshmi-aspect bhumi, are infinitesimally beautiful than that of human beings. contrary to the principles of hate or jealousy many harbor against martian natives, people worship them and strive to embody that beauty themselves. in turn, they are gradually merging their image/beauty to align with her. if goddesses were regarded with the same envious treatment of most women on this earthly plane, we would be drastically divided from them. the more beauty one immerses themself in, the more your own physical vessel begins to beautify/purify, as water adds to water. this is why it is often said that you are the company you keep, you are the canvas, but who do you choose to hold the paint brush?

❤️‍🔥 jennifer aniston (one of the highest paid actresses of all time, frequent of 90s tabloids, and known for her portrayal of “rachel” on “friends”): chitra lagna conjunct kuja atmakaraka, scorpio chandra, and dhanishta surya

🎀 shri vidya states that beauty is equal to truth; that which is beautiful is aligned with harmony, rather than chaos or disorder. the more women allow beauty into our lives, contrary to meeting it with jealousy, the more they embody harmony and beauty itself. i am not saying all women are prone to jealousy, but it is often a feeling we all have experienced once or another. i am simply stating that we should always strive to bring ourselves closer to beauty, instead of attempting to demonize and mitigate it. beauty is exhibited in a multitude of forms other than the physical life form, from photography and painting to crocheting and engineering. i call women who are prone to jealousy to embrace other’s beauty cosmically and become inspired. this may be an act as simple as following along to someone’s makeup routine or looking to incorporate painting techniques from others into their self-portrait. inspiration is an essential part of the feminine existence, it illuminates the areas in life we can beautify and improve in in order to become more aligned with symmetry and harmony. in sanskrit, when you have a vision of a goddess, it is deemed as darshan. darshan occurs when one has pleased the deity through a certain amount of devotion (via prayer, mantra, etc.) and is aided by having a strong fire element (contrary to watery elemental nature of beauty itself, it is of ketu, the ultimate spiritual fire, relating to the power of vision and removing impurities in your perception, in order to see the truth). in engaging in jealousy, you are rejecting the goddess through the women around you, thus eliminating your chances of experiencing the great pleasure of darshan. you are rejecting inspiration, blessings, and overall beautification.

❤️‍🔥 marilyn monroe (the most popular s*x symbol of the 50s/60s, an emblem of the era’s s*xual revolution, and known for her comedic portrayal of “blonde bombshell” characters): dhanishta chandra and kuja amatyakaraka

🪐 according to dreamgirlarchive on here, popular symbols within this aesthetic include “designer sunglasses, playboy bunny necklaces, big watches, and silver everything”. interestingly enough, silver is said to remedy rahu, as if one is said to be facing the wrath of rahu, they are advised to drink water in a silver glass. in vedic literature, it is additionally advised to consume basil water within said glass. the water acts as a purifier, immersing oneself in kapha energies, primarily that of shukra and chandra, as they are correlated to this healing measure. the additional usage of basil is symbolic of kuja. botanist and physician nicholas culpeper (mrigashira chandra and kuja atmakaraka) noted that basil is an herb of mars and under the influence of the scorpion, referring to it as basilicon. europeans would place basil in the hand of their deceased loved ones to ensure safe passage to the next plain of existence. in consuming/adorning oneself in basil/kuja, they are granted immunity and immortality in the after life, similar to the aforementioned conquest of bhumi and amrita. additionally, the covering of eyes in the darkened, coal-esque color of ketu (sunglasses) mirrors the power of vision and its emphasis in ketu’s mythology and physical aesthetics (as many ketu natives have emphasized eyes). the emphasis of designer fashion (many fashion designers are uttara bhadrapada natives) and watches call to mind the teachings of rahu’s contemporary: shani. who counters the disassociation of ketu and correlates to denial for the promise of a greater future. as it is shani himself who is also considered to be healed by silver. this is why a popular designer in the y2k aesthetic, vivian westwood, is an uttara bhadrapada surya, and designed the popular saturn-shaped necklace titled: the mini “bas”.

❤️‍🔥 paris hilton (american media personality, socialite, businesswoman, and model): dhanishta surya conjunct kuja and scorpio lagna

🌱 additionally, throughout the images enclosed in this post, you might have noticed the prevalence of kuja amatyakaraka natives. mars amatyakaraka is deemed as making an individual fit for working in the army or line of defense. this placement additionally gives success in speed-oriented tasks. this makes natives especially gifted at dealing with an influx of tenacity and harmful projections from the masses and accumulating a countering army of a following/fan base. they are additionally keen at reflecting (as i spoke about previously). perhaps the most interesting nature of this placement is its gift of time/speed (shani). while their careers and fame may be quick to rise and accumulate accolades, natives of this placement must be weary and learn to pace themselves before shani humbles them. as evidenced by the frequent rises and falls of these natives’ careers and lives. overall, there is much we can learn from the women who popularized this aesthetic, attitude, and ideology: find inspiration in adoration and admiration; learn from the feminine beings around you to discover the goddess within; and, most importantly, understand that there are teachings to learn from all grahas (not just ketu, as evidenced by the involvement of shani, rahu, chandra, and shukra in the healing of kuja, despite them being considered “enemy grahas”).

❤️‍🔥 jayne mansfield (popular playboy playmate, titled “america’s sex symbol”, nightclub entertainer, actress/singer, and well-known aficionado of publicity stunts): dhanishta chandra and aries surya

— please take the time to list below whether my next post should be on the beauty of ashwini lagna or the beauty of swati lagna? i know i speak about beautification and femininity frequently and i can understand why i’ve received questions and messages asking me, kindly and not so kindly, to branch outside of this topic. however, as for the moment and the entirety of my account so far, this has been a great source of happiness for me. if that bothers you, i encourage to follow the multitude of others who provide vedic astrology-based content. i do appreciate all of the wonderful chances i have had to read everyone’s charts (i’ve received approximately forty orders since i began offering my services) and i appreciate everyone’s patience and kindness as i grow and refine my style. much like my posts, my readings are never truly shortened or condensed. so i apologize for their immense lengthiness and i am always open to further elaborate on what i mentioned (whether you received a reading from me yesterday or several months ago). simply shoot me an email and i will reply. additionally, my google email account appears to not be sending some readings due to their length. if you have not received yours by the receive date, please contact me via email so i can resend your reading. never feel afraid to ask, as you are most certainly entitled to receiving a product you purchased. long ramblings aside, i am so grateful for each and every one of you. i promise more nakshatra explorations are in store, i tend to heavily critique each post i make but there are plenty of drafts i may assure you all. i truly am so baffled at how there are thousands of people who want to read this blog. your prevalence, beauty, and kindness amazes me <3

❤️‍🔥 christina aguilera (actress and singer known for her immense vocal range and popularization of the y2k aesthetic): dhanishta lagna, kuja atmakaraka, aries chandra, and scorpio surya

**all of these placements were found using astrotheme/.com and/or astro-charts/.com. it is important to note that some chandra (moon) placements may be off by up to 6 degrees and lagnas (risings) as well, due to the fact that many websites do not have 100% accurate birth times for the given celebrities.

[sensualnoiree]

As we approach Wednesday, September 4th, 2024, the astrological landscape is marked by a profound shift in energy. Mars, the planet of action, assertion, and drive, forms a quincunx with Pluto, the planet of power, transformation, and the underworld. This quincunx aspect sets the stage for a day steeped in psychological tension, where the desire to act or assert oneself may clash with deeper, more subterranean forces of change and control. The quincunx, by its nature, asks us to reconcile energies that don’t easily see eye to eye, often manifesting as a need to adapt, adjust, or find a new perspective.

Later in the day, Mars leaves behind the communicative, quicksilver sign of Gemini and enters the sign of Cancer, where it is traditionally considered to be in its fall. Here, Mars’ fiery, forward-moving energy meets the watery, emotionally-driven terrain of Cancer. This transit marks a two-month period where our actions and desires are no longer purely logical or detached; instead, they are deeply intertwined with our emotional needs, our desire for security, and our instinct to protect what is dear to us.

Aries Rising

For Aries Rising, Mars’ shift into Cancer brings the focus squarely onto your home, family, and inner life. You may find yourself driven to protect and secure your domestic environment, yet the quincunx to Pluto suggests that this period might also unearth power struggles or deep-seated issues within your career or public life. The key here is to find a way to balance your outer ambitions with your inner needs, recognizing that true power often comes from emotional authenticity.

Taurus Rising

For Taurus Rising, Mars’ entry into your 3rd house turns your attention toward communication, siblings, and your immediate environment. Mars in Cancer here may manifest as a need to defend your ideas or protect your emotional boundaries in everyday interactions. However, the quincunx to Pluto indicates that there might be a deeper, underlying tension related to your beliefs, long-term goals, or philosophical outlook. This is a time to carefully consider how your everyday words and actions are aligned with your deeper truths.

Gemini Rising

For Gemini Rising, as Mars leaves your 1st house and enters your 2nd house of resources and values, the focus shifts from personal assertion to securing your material and emotional resources. The quincunx with Pluto in the 8th house suggests that this period might bring up issues related to shared resources, intimacy, or financial entanglements. The challenge lies in navigating these waters without becoming overly protective or reactive, finding ways to assert your values while honoring the complex dynamics of shared power.

Cancer Rising

For Cancer Rising, Mars’ entrance into your 1st house brings a surge of energy and assertiveness, yet it’s colored by the sensitivity and protectiveness of Cancer. You may feel a strong need to assert your identity or protect your personal space, but the quincunx to Pluto in the 7th house of relationships suggests that this period might also bring up power struggles or transformation in your close partnerships. The lesson here is to navigate these dynamics with emotional intelligence, recognizing when to stand your ground and when to allow for change.

Leo Rising

For Leo Rising, as Mars moves into your 12th house, the focus turns inward, bringing up themes of retreat, introspection, and perhaps confronting your own subconscious drives. The quincunx to Pluto in the 6th house suggests that there might be underlying tensions related to work, health, or daily routines that are calling for transformation. This is a time to be gentle with yourself, recognizing the power of rest and reflection in facilitating deeper change.

Virgo Rising

For Virgo Rising, Mars’ move into your 11th house brings a focus on your social circles, friendships, and long-term goals. You may feel a strong desire to protect your place within groups or to assert your ideas within a collective context. However, the quincunx to Pluto in the 5th house of creativity and personal joy suggests that there might be an underlying tension between your social obligations and your personal desires or creative expression. The challenge is to find a balance between these areas, recognizing that true fulfillment often requires both personal and collective engagement.

Libra Rising

For Libra Rising, Mars’ shift into your 10th house of career and public life brings a focus on your ambitions and how you assert yourself in the world. Yet, the quincunx to Pluto in your 4th house of home and family suggests that this period might also bring up power dynamics or deep transformations within your private life. The key is to navigate these energies with grace, finding ways to pursue your ambitions while also honoring the deeper emotional needs that arise from your roots.

Scorpio Rising

For Scorpio Rising, as Mars enters your 9th house, the focus shifts to your beliefs, higher education, and perhaps travel or spiritual pursuits. Mars in Cancer here may drive you to protect or assert your beliefs with a deep emotional intensity, but the quincunx to Pluto in your 3rd house suggests that this period might also bring up tensions in communication or your immediate environment. The challenge is to stay open to new perspectives while remaining true to your core beliefs.

Sagittarius Rising

For Sagittarius Rising, Mars’ move into your 8th house brings a focus on shared resources, intimacy, and the deeper layers of your psyche. Mars in Cancer here might manifest as a protective or defensive stance when it comes to what you share with others, but the quincunx to Pluto in the 2nd house suggests that there might be underlying tensions related to your personal values or financial security. The lesson here is to navigate these complexities with a balance of emotional depth and practical wisdom.

Capricorn Rising

For Capricorn Rising, Mars’ entry into your 7th house of relationships brings a focus on partnerships and how you assert yourself within them. Yet, the quincunx to Pluto in your 1st house suggests that this period might also bring up power dynamics or personal transformations that challenge how you relate to others. The key is to navigate these dynamics with both strength and sensitivity, recognizing that true power often lies in mutual respect and emotional honesty.

Aquarius Rising

For Aquarius Rising, Mars’ move into your 6th house of work, health, and daily routines brings a focus on how you assert yourself in these areas. Mars in Cancer here may drive you to protect your well-being or secure your work environment, but the quincunx to Pluto in your 12th house suggests that there might be hidden forces or subconscious patterns at play that need to be acknowledged. This is a time to be mindful of the deeper emotional currents that influence your daily life.

Pisces Rising

For Pisces Rising, Mars’ entry into your 5th house brings a focus on creativity, romance, and what brings you joy. Mars in Cancer here may manifest as a protective or nurturing approach to these areas, but the quincunx to Pluto in your 11th house suggests that there might be tensions between your personal joys and your social obligations. The challenge is to find a balance between following your heart and fulfilling your role within a larger collective.

The Week Ahead: September 23-29, 2024

Caution: we’re in the shadow of the eclipse until Saturday, October 5.

Lunar Phases

Tuesday, September 24, 18:50 UT - Last Quarter Moon, 2°12’ Cancer

The key phrases for the Last Quarter lunar phase are “turn away” and “tear down old structures that no longer serve us well.” We’re deeply sentimental and not completely crazy about letting go - and unfortunately this eclipse season has “letting go” as a theme. We can try to pick something we’ve outgrown, or we can let The Cosmos do the picking.

Saturday, September 28, 15:47 UT - Balsamic Moon, 21°01’ Leo

The key phrases for the Balsamic lunar phase are “let go of the past,” and “envision the future.” Spending time outside (weather permitting) and soaking up some sunshine is therapeutic. It helps our optimism and faith.

Void of Course Moon

Tuesday, September 24, 11:59 UT (Gemini) - 14:50 UT (Cancer)

Thursday, September 26, 22:12 UT (Cancer) - 22:47 UT (Leo)

Sunday, September 29, 03:36 UT (Leo) - 09:42 UT (Virgo)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Jupiter/Gemini

Retrograde: Saturn/Pisces, Chiron/Aries, Uranus/Taurus, Neptune/Pisces, Pluto/Capricorn, Eris/Aries

Post-retrograde shadow: Ceres/Capricorn, Pallas/Sagittarius

Ingress

Thursday, September 26, 08:09 UT - transiting Mercury enters Libra

Libra transits this year are challenging, and Mercury’s trip through the sign will not be an exception. Between now and October 13, when Mercury enters Scorpio, expect those Libran scales to be set a-jangle with contradictions, paradoxes, and confusion. We have to let ideas happen rather than force them. We need to listen to people who see things differently than we do. The downside is (in Steven Forrest’s words) “I am ambushed by the ignorance I chose to protect;” when we get it right, we’re fair, respectful, and diplomatic. This is also a good time to learn about something artistic.

Et Cetera

No Opportunity Periods this week.

Next Sunday (the 29th), very late, there’s a trine between Mars/Cancer and Saturn Rx/Pisces, at 14°24’. Because Mars is soon to enter its retrograde zone (Thursday, October 3), this is the first of three trines between the two planets. (Number two happens on February 8, 2025; number 3 on April 4, 2025.) Mars retrograde times show us how we sabotage ourselves through impatience, belligerence (the proverbial chip on the shoulder), and so on - I’m personally grateful for a flowing Mars-Saturn aspect! Pay attention over the weekend to “challenges to your integrity, moral temptation, and difficult decisions” (Steven again). Yes, even with a trine! This is the first of three, so we’re becoming somewhat aware of the problem. The work happens after Mars stations retrograde (December 6).
