Some suggestions for experimenting with Jewish practice and experiencing Jewish culture
Observe one full Shabbat. For 25 hours, do no work- not even the laundry. Attend services, read and relax, but don't go shopping or cook. If you have children, do something fun together as a family on Saturday afternoon.
Attend a synagogue-sponsored retreat for a sense of what a complete communal day of rest can be.
Try to keep kosher in a basic way for a month as a way to infuse one of the most basic of human needs with Jewish content. At home and when you eat out, avoid all shellfish and pork products, don't mix meat and milk, read the labels in the supermarket and don't buy foods prepared with lard.
Plan and host a holiday celebration.
Go shopping in a kosher food store and Jewish bookstore.
Attend Jewish theater performances, Jewish choral groups, shows by touring Israeli pop stars.
Tour the local Jewish community center (JCC).
Attend an Israel Independence Day celebration.
If you are a member of a congregation, get involved in a congregational program or two. Attend an adult education class or sisterhood events. Volunteer for committee work.
Include Jewish tours and expeditions while on vacation or business trips. In New York City, visit the lower east side, the Jewish Museum and Ellis Island. In Washington go to the Holocaust Museum. In Rome, visit the ancient Jewish ghetto. Whether you find yourself in Baltimore or Bombay, try to find the oldest Synagogue in the city, or makes a pilgrimage to the best Jewish deli. If you're in a strange city on Shabbat, go to services at a local synagogue.
From "Choosing a Jewish Life" by Anita Diamant

02.10.23, thursday
I feel like taking whole weekends off doesn’t work for me. Like if I take the days off, I’ll get stuck in that mood and I’m just now getting back to the groove of things, and it’s friday again tmrw. I think the ideal for me would be like 2 weeks on and then couple days off. Something I could actually do sometimes if I just schedule it. But couple last weekends I’ve had set plans so had to have actual weekends and my productivity has taken the hit

Astro observations pt.5🦎
Not a real astrologer just my observations:) 🧪🦠
Having prominent Aries placements makes you the generation curse breaker, the ones most likely to break off from their family or do something totally different
11th house ruler in 8th or vise versa =having many sexual fantasies, and most of them will be fulfilled
Neptune retrograde in the 1st hate when people take pictures of them. But they love taking selfies☺️
Chiron in 12th house- experiencing your families trauma like it was your own, sometimes trough dreams, lots of physic attacks
Saturn in the 6th natal work with elderly people in some way. I have sun Saturn conjucttion in the 6th and I’ve never had a job that I didn’t work at for a long period of time. Even if the job is crappy😭 I get some type of benefits for working there after a while
No one talks about how talkative Taurus placements are (only if they’re comfortable) they do rule the vocal chords
The urge to just stare at Aries moon(fire moons in general but Aries moons it’s like, you don’t know why you’re staring but you can’t stop💀they have this fiery passionate look to them
Left to right: Angelina Jolene, Kim Taehyung ,Rihanna
Chiron house and sign can tell you about your insecurities e.i. Capricorn Chiron in the 12th house- insecure about your smile, your skin eczema or other skin conditions, fear of prisons- your hidden enemies could easily know how to trigger you
Cancer/Gemini in the 6th natal could work with siblings/family members
Having 6th house placements in the 1st or vise versa could indicate being a c-section baby
4th house in Taurus, the women figures in your life have prominent Taurus/Venus placements. You could have been spoiled by your loved ones as and fed very well :p even if you didn’t have lots of money growing up
Your mars sign and house can definitely influence how you look. Leo mars or degrees have a noticeable spine usually longer than average, and it’s always something noticeable about their hair. Taurus mars are the type to prefer to wear comfortable clothing out rather than dress up and they look like money (they have this natural sensuality to them)and Libra mars dress like they have money if that makes sense, their rear end could like very nice doesn’t have to be big
Goodnight everyone hope u enjoyed☘️

I'm 4 chapters into Tehanu and Le Guin has summed up women's rage at how society perceives and defines them so well without ever having Tenar deliver an angry rant to someone. She's an old, tired woman who has lived her life, but holds a quiet, tired anger over how she has been defined and labelled by society. She knows she can't do anything to change it and gets on with her life within society, but it doesn't make it any less unjust or her feelings invalid.
