@sweet-s0rr0w made the most beautiful post about drarry celebrating christmas in her fics, so I took a stab at it, too. Merry christmas and happy holidays all!
OORU drarry spend Christmas Eve with the Malfoys—formal, stuffy, suffocating. Lucius and Narcissa are not fans of Harry but Draco has made it clear that if they are not both welcome, neither will attend. It’s all very polite and painful. Everyone is trying; no one is certain it’s worth it. Christmas Day, however, is spent with Sirius and Remus, and it’s perfect and cozy and all four of them take turns get embarrassingly sentimental about it: about finding a family and being that for each other and getting a bit weepy into his champagne. Harry loves how Draco fits in so well with his godfathers now. Harry is thinking he should ask Draco to move in with him; he feels the uncertain flare of that old fear of rejection when he considers it, finds it terrifying, and resolves to press on in spite of it.
Gemini in Retrograde drarry are at Grimmauld, where Draco lives, with Scorpius home for the holidays. Scorpius still thinks it’s kind of gross that anyone would want to date his dad, but he’s also never had such a happy Christmas since before Narcissa died. They exchange presents on Christmas Eve; Draco and Scorprius shock each other by picking perfect presents for one another (it’s new, for them). Harry “helps” their house elf make dinner (marking the first time they’ve had an edible meal on Christmas in years). All three of them go to the Burrow for lunch on Christmas Day, the tradition that started the first year Harry and Draco were together. While Scorprius is still working up the courage to properly talk to Victoire, he has none of that shyness when it comes to pick-up Quidditch in the garden. Draco and Harry play, too—Draco flies all the time, now. Harry is still better than him.
Isle of Ogygia drarry are at the lighthouse, still — ostensibly they’re both working on getting Draco’s sentence reduced, but both of them are more than a bit nervous about leaving the island when the time comes. Their communication about this difficult subject needs work. However, Christmas in the lighthouse is beautiful—the place has been transformed into a real home, and the spellwork has been smoothed out, and the Christmas tree that Neville helped Harry safely transport there is thriving. It’s storming outside, but it’s warm inside, and they have more food than they could possibly ever eat, and they end up not opening presents until the evening because they spend the whole day shagging. They both think they’re being very funny and clever and ended up getting each other the exact same dry, unreadable encyclopedias for Christmas.
Löyly drarry spend every Christmas traveling somewhere new. They like to alternate between cold and warm destinations: cold places mean shopping at Christmas markets, hearty meals, and saunas if they can find them, and sex on rugs in front of blazing fireplaces; warm places mean dips in the ocean, and dinners and cold wine in the open-air, and Harry watching Draco's long, solid body turn pink in the sun in a way that makes him weak. Draco considers it his duty to become an expert in each country’s specific magical traditions; if there’s sex magic to be found, that’s all the better. Draco and Harry have been forbidden from returning to at least one country because of a public incident involving said sex magic. It was, they both think, worth it.
@jtimu @arminaa8 @xalandrix @thecouchsofa @greattemptation @garagepaperback @sorrybutblog @nv-md and I'm seconding everyone sweet tagged, too, if you want to share how your drarries spend the holidays. if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged, and tag me please!

Bound: Advanced Transfiguration (& Other Forms of Romance) by me / Gemini In Retrograde by @citrusses


A tete-beche!
Cit and I have been chatting about doing a collab for ages and we did it at last! This is a little tete-beche marrying her fic about fathers and teenage sons and my fic about fathers and teenage sons. As I shout-messaged her: our fics are hanging out together!!! Ahhh!!!
Citrusses typeset my fic and I typeset hers, then we swapped and went our separate ways to bind and case them in, before finally sending each other a copy in the mail.

Well, the swap is complete and it was DELIGHTFUL to work with Cit on this little project. I have multi-part gushing so I'm just going to go ahead and give you a cut.
Starting with Citrusses' half of the tete-beche: this is the first time I've ever seen anyone typesetting my fic! I was so excited to get her email with the PDF. And then! It was so gorgeous! I loved the clean chess theme, the beautiful breaks and artwork, the font choice for the titles, everything. It was amazing to see it all come together like that. I am so fond of my little James-POV fic and it was a treat to get this small love letter to the fic from a binder and author I admire so much.
A couple photos of Cit's lovely typeset:


For my half, I had the pleasure of setting Cit's fic, which is a Freaky Friday trope where Draco and Scorpius have swapped bodies. Citrusses manages the tightrope walk that is a father-son body swap (and a Drarry story!) with such skill and care. I adore the imperfect but trying-hard relationship between Draco and Scorpius, and of course I adore Prof. Potter. It's a brilliant fic and it was so fun to set it and bind it.
I ran with the Freaky Friday thing -- at first, I thought about the Jodie Foster original, but when my 70s artwork failed to inspire, I switched to the 00s version with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. This worked better for my brain! I had so much fun creating the title page and chapter headers in the 00s style, using green and blue to signify Draco and Scorpius's respective houses in the fic.


For the final bind itself, I did two versions, mostly because I trimmed the first copy badly and then bled on it (ha) so I had to try again. The first version uses black and white and gold HTV, but for the second I swapped the black for a dark blue because it vibed better with the endpapers I'd chosen. I did a striped endband for my (bloody) copy and an ombre one for Cit's copy.



The style of the cover design owes something to PrettyBinding's style on IG -- I love the thin gold outline and I am going to feature it again soon, though used a bit differently! The constellation behind the Scorpius and Draco figures is, in fact, Gemini. Not that you can tell??? But I know it in my heart!
(You can play a fun game of "spot the differences" between these two copies.)


All in all, an absolute delight of a bind and a swap! I was so tickled to work alongside Citrusses. And I will save my gushing about the amazing binds I received for a later post!

Things to focus on/develop ~ astro observations ✨
Moon in 8th house - emotional self-sufficiency; being your biggest emotional support; letting go of old resentments, attachments and learning to move on; learning to channel your emotions through art/journaling/cooking etc.
Gemini Sun - being constant, reliable, true to your word;being honest and not lying/twisting facts; being there physically and emotionally for people you love; less over-explaining and quarreling;
Libra Moon - learning to make decisions by and for themselves; so many times I see these people always asking for advice on what to do or struggling to make decisions even when it comes to important things in their life; also learning to speak your mind instead of letting emotions build up inside you and acting all passive-aggressive; it’s okay not to agree just let us know;
Leo ascendant - and always wanting to appear polished, put-together, perfect. Lots of emphasis on being clean, well-dressed and having nice hair. Sometimes it’s okay to tone it down a notch. Many imperfections about yourself are only in your mind, very few if anybody at all notices them; also you know what diplomacy is, I guess? Sometimes it’s better to reach an agreement/compromise than to relentlessly pursue your point of view. It’ll attract enmity on the long term and people finding subtle ways to put you down behind your back, just saying.
Virgo Mercury - learning to talk about how you feel and don’t always fret the small print; being vulnerable is not a weakness;
Stellium in 11th house (especially in air signs) - accept yourself first and foremost and stop trying to fit in with crowds; some people will always judge you and not like you. You’re good at being a social butterfly and it likely brings you benefits but don’t lose yourself in always gaining other people’s approval. It’s better to walk alone than constantly clinging to people who bring you down or are just not right for you.
Ascendant square Mercury/Mercury retrograde/3rd house Mercury(possibly) - take time to improve communication skills, it’ll serve you big time in the future. Don’t hurry when you talk and think it through before you say something. Don’t just blurt out the first thing that comes to your mind; it might come out messy. Don’t butt into conversations or try to dominate them. People won’t be more interested in what you are going to say, it’ll just reflect poorly on you.
Lilith-Venus aspects(especially the square)/Lilith-Moon hard aspects - don’t blindly trust women; this aspect is said to attract both admiration and jealousy from women. It adds extra charm to your appearance but can also spark enmity/bad intentions in others. Beware.
Moon-Jupiter aspects (especially square) - take care of your weight!! Make sure to eat healthy food and exercise regularly. There could be a tendency to put on weight. You’re a connoisseur of life and very curious person by nature so it makes sense you would like to try out new delicious food/beverages, but don’t give in to excess.
Sun opposite Moon - this aspect suggests a conflict between the Ego(Identity) and the emotional life of the native. Sometimes these people have zero clue what they are feeling and if you ask them they might just shrug. Or they might suppress their emotions in favor of their intelect/rational side. This can lead to big internal turmoil, crisis and even depression later on. My advice: don’t ignore what you feel. Speak about it or write it down. It’s important to at least be conscious of what is going on with your emotional life. Is it sadness/annoyance/boredom maybe a sense of relief? Whatever it is, write it down. It’ll make you feel better, I promise.
Sun in 5th house - you cannot make up your mind about who to be with, am I right? Many people attract you and make your heart flutter for different reasons. Your interest may be short-lived. You definitely love a nice figure, beautiful clothes and an “expensive-looking” appearance. Personality-wise you like a good sense of humor, a beautiful smile, solid social skills and if the said person is desired by many others, it might awaken your interest even more! My advice to you: make up your mind. Who is the person you truly want to be with? What is their personality like, their values, interests, life-goals? Will they align with yours? How will you be supporting each other along the way? Solve the conflicts that would arise? Don’t get too picky or cocky though. Just as your chosen person will try to be the best they can be, you shouldn’t succumb to laziness, complacency either. Nobody is perfect. We got to do the best we can with what we have.
Virgo Moon - you’re way better and more than you ever give yourself credit for. Be proud of your accomplishments and all those times where you persevered when everything seemed to be going wrong and you couldn’t see the light. You’re a hard-working, very resilient and pragmatic person. You likely always help those in need especially your family/friends/acquaintances. They’ve always got somebody they can rely on to give them a car ride for example or cook them delicious food. Life is not always black and white and you’re certainly not the loser you might sometimes think you are. If only you could see the beauty I and other people can see in you!
Chart ruler in 12th house - oh boy, this one is quite annoying at times. People might just simply ignore your presence and not willingly. It’s like you somehow manage to blend into the background. Not one time have I heard people going “You’re here? I really haven’t noticed.” And it is not said with bad intentions. Your presence is calm, a little mellow and blends in easily with any crowd. Maybe you could be a spy? Just saying XD
The point with this placement (especially if you have many aspects to your Mercury, particularly the square) is to be patient! Do not raise your voice or butt into conversations you are not welcomed in. Wait to be invited, stay silent or better yet: leave. If it’s done repeatedly by the same group of people it’s not longer unintentional.
Also - protect your energy and make sure you sleep 8-10 hours. It might be that you tire easily, are susceptible to other’s energy, feel it when somebody is ill or suffering. You’re sensitive and probably empathetic to boot (regardless of other positions in your chart). Make sure you don’t overexert yourself or let others take advantage of your sensitive side.
Chiron conjunct Midhaven - it might actually be healthy and recommended for you to work! Especially if it’s the kind of job that suits you and that you find satisfaction in. With this aspect it’s possible that not having a goal/career will make you feel aimless/confused/irritated. This aspect suggests an ambitious, driven and hard-working individual that might find much more in their career than satisfaction, purpose and money. They might also find healing. These people are likely to work in healthcare and dealing with other people’s ailments and emotional wounds. But instead of bringing them down, it is where they actually find their place. Especially in the sign of Capricorn, these people don’t wish to lead easy/privileged lives, but meaningful ones where they leave a legacy behind.
People typically trust them because they sense they are trustworthy and share their problems with them.
Venus in Aries - this is not talked about nearly enough. These folks are courageous and very devoted to their loved ones, to the point where they would do almost anything for them! Venus is not just about your love life but also about your feminine side, your values and self-worth, your sense of aesthetics, creative expression, wealth&comfort and social harmony. It’d be silly to narrow it down simply to one domain: your romantic life. Sure, it plays a significant role when it comes to the way you express and accept love, what appeals to you most but it not all that it is!
A Venus in Aries person makes a dynamic and gutsy friend somebody that would go on almost any adventure with you. They could be blunt but you can be sure they will always tell the truth. They will speak up for you when needed and they could be plenty generous.
The point with this placement is to not get carried away or be too pushy. Many people are simply not ready to be as bold and honest and unapologetic as you are. They might just be unsure, more skeptical, or have a different way of expressing their attention/affection. Don’t always put demands on them or assume dishonesty at the slightest disturbance.
Edit-completion to Venus in Aries.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading my post!! Please tell me what you think and let’s have a discussion 🤗🌟

astro observations
do not steal my work, thanks!
-venus in aquarius has a harder time letting go of friendships than ex's
-if you have heavy Saturn in your chart, you tend to attract a lot of Capricorns. Even if it’s only with your personal placements having aspects to Saturn. There’s a possibility that you can have a very stoic personality which attracts Capricorns. The balance of seriousness and “unseriousness” is difficult to pull off. However, Saturn influenced people portray this balance with ease.
-ceres in aries people have rather aggressive experiences with their mother or motherly figures (grandmother, women caregiver) and are similer to people who have Lilith in aries
-7th house stelliums really need to separate their lust from love. they find someone they crush on and start planning their life with that person
-aries have impulsive rebranding moments all the time. they are always going MIA on social media and comeback out of nowhere. as if it's a way to retreat to themselves
-ceres in cancer seems to be extremely feminine, they enjoy things like flowers in their home and are close with their mom
-people with their sun at the 16 degree play victim alot. especially when someone is pointing out a character flaw, they will deflect and play victim
-people with their sun at the 20 degree strongly believe in revenge, very vindictive people, they have a hard time letting something go if someone did them wrong without having anything happen to that person
-taurus north node has to learn how to control their emotions and not take everything so personally, they need to embrace things for what they are
-mercury in sag tend to not think before they speak. they are actually not the biggest thinkers and are very outspoken
-with mercury at the 26 degree, it makes someone very stubborn in their belief and actually they have a hard time believing people and what they say
-mars in aries people are very hands on people, they tend to push people when they laugh or have no problem hugging people, they are very physical
-12 degree moon person is very emotionally unstable, of course if underdeveloped, they do silent treatments, they cry ALOT, and are prone to outburst
-sun at the 12 degree are prone to heavy usage of substance, which includes w33d, especially after a long day
-aries stellium people are prone to lying all the time, since everything is in the moment for them, they tend to be quick with decisions and response, even if its not believable
-when it comes to sister signs, you either get along with people that have your sister sign or have a very difficult time getting along with them. there is no in between. with that being said, geminis adore sagittarius but the feeling is not mutual lol
-ceres in capricorn are very distant and seem cold, also probably had a controlling mother and did everything to be on their mom's good side. even if that means agreeing with absolutely everything.

ᴘʟᴀɴᴇᴛꜱ ɪɴ ʀᴇᴛʀᴏɢʀᴀᴅᴇ


thank you for the 10,000+ followers! a game with no exchange will be released:)
now that i've written and understand planets in retrograde thoroughly they will be included in chart readings for free.

THE SUN AND THE MOON CANNOT BE IN RX.
MERCURY IN RX
♇ having mercury in rx makes someone think more often, especially over the most pettiest things they think is big. they're very anxious people, and since it is in retrograde it could be implied that they're "wired differently" they think more out of the box, and even speak different, how they speak and write could be very distinct.
♇ mercury in retrograde could give someone inactive relatives, or cousins and siblings they're not close to. and since they're people who doubt themselves a lot, they could stall themselves from the path they're supposed to take, being their own obstacles. they could also be people who take some time to take in/process information.
♇ as i said they're people who hold themselves back a lot, this could link to their childhood, might've had people speak over them and silence them when they were younger.
VENUS IN RX
♇ people who have venus in retrograde might focus on love too much, and they could be people who have a struggling relationship with women. sisters, women who are their cousins and women who are their friends.
♇ they could also be very secretive people, they have a hard time opening up, which could make them be deemed as cold. they have a hard time giving and receiving affection.
♇ they could be bad at handling money, and might think everyone is out to get them. they could find it hard to love themselves, having venus in rx, is the peak of the "tortured poet".
MARS IN RX
♇ those who have mars in retrograde could have a hard time getting along with men, or even with the opposite sex. to have mars in rx could mean you could be considered as someone who i very intense. can a hard time expressing your sexuality and aiming for your goals.
♇ instead of learning life lessons quick, they are normally stubborn people and barely listen to advice given to them by trusted people. could be people who are too hesitant, say and do things at the wrong time and place.
♇ people with mars in retrograde might've gone through sexual trauma, could be scared to be intimate with other people. they're people who hate authority or people trying to have dominance over them. the type of people to not listen to the rules and break them.
JUPITER IN RX
♇ people who have jupiter in rx are the definition of "thinking out of the box", they're people who do have moments that question their faith and some of these people tend to have a God Complex.
♇ sometimes they feel like they're the unluckiest person in the world, might feel like they wont be able to travel the world like they want to. could also have long cycles of depression.
♇ having jupiter in retrograde can mean they're someone who marches to the beat of their own drum, they can be very detail-oriented people, which sometimes mean they feel like they can judge anyone and think of themselves to be flawless. jupiter in rx people are the type of people who want everything in their future to be perfect also, without life's trials and tribulations. can be unrealistic.
SATURN IN RX
♇ as it is told, saturn in retrograde brings a father that wasnt in the person's life, the person who has the saturn in rx can make someone feel like they're being punished by life all the time.
♇ this could also mean they might find it hard to express themselves emotionally, could be due to their childhood. they go through many trials and tribulations, makes them depressive, but in the end they become really wise.
♇ they doubt themselves a lot, could have trouble balancing themselves, and their masculinity, could be too domineering.
URANUS IN RX
♇ people with uranus in rx do not like change, they're likely insecure, [not all are going to be due to different commodities in a chart], but these are usually people who think they are not going to succeed in life.
♇ they sometimes feel like they're in control of nothing which pushes them into their need of controlling everything. they're quick-thinkers but still over-thinkers. they feel like they can never feel nice in a platonic or romantic connection.
♇ it leads them into being paranoid and chaotic. they might also put themselves in a box to make things easier, don't know they're limiting their potential when doing that, they're so much more and need to understand it.
NEPTUNE IN RX
♇ to have neptune in rx could make the kin be very delusional, might find it hard to separate idealistic views with reality. definitely reminds me of alice in wonderland. they're very spiritual people but can over-whelm people by adding their faith into everything.
♇ could be really good at manifesting; trust issues but sometimes are stubborn from learning their mistakes. can be deemed as very dreamy and compassionate.
♇ they could have this feeling of needing to save everyone. their trials and tribulations are a creative outlet for them, another indicator of being the tortured poet. [but the tiring and damaging things they go through are usually expressed through their art, which includes writing, story-telling, writing music, painting etc].
PLUTO IN RX
♇ i do get surprised when i come across these in a natal chart reading, but, pluto in rx folks definitely do hate constraint, they dislike authority and feeling like they're being controlled, which could push them into trying to control other people.
♇ could be escapists through drug and sex, they could also find it hard to accept their dark-self. easily infatuated people, people can get easily obsessed with them as they can get with other people.
♇ good money makers, could manipulate others with materialism, though, they might not be confrontational, could feel easily intimidated. sometimes could never see the potential in themselves can be their own obstacle.

how a retrograde is influenced by the sign(s) it's in

aries
everything slows down, leading to more impulsive actions, which then make everyone second-guess their decisions. frustration, lack of motivation, and feeling stuck when you’re trying to move forward are all normal during this time. the key is patience - planning before taking action and managing frustration in a healthy way. this phase can affect personal goals, stir up competition, bring self-confidence issues to the surface, and cause shifts in physical energy.
taurus
there will likely be disruptions in your routines, finances, and personal comfort zones. money issues may surface, and people can become more resistant to change. this is often a time for questioning what truly makes you feel secure. it’s a great opportunity to evaluate your financial habits and focus on what will support your long-term stability.
gemini
miscommunication, scattered thoughts, and tech issues are common during this time - often leading to overthinking and misinformation. this is a period to slow down, double-check facts, and focus on improving your listening skills.
cancer
beware of heightened emotions. the world around you may gaslight you or trigger you into overreacting - or reacting at all. family issues can resurface, bringing old wounds to the surface. but you’re not meant to cling to the past; this is a time to heal and resolve emotional baggage. reconnect with loved ones, embrace your home, nurture your inner child, and find comfort in what truly matters.
leo
it’s not personal - your confidence might take a hit, and your creativity could feel blocked. feeling unseen and struggling with self-worth are common during this time. but this is an opportunity to embrace humility and reconnect with your true passions. focus on self-expression, relationships, ambition, and, most importantly, your ego.
virgo
your perfectionist ideals might catch up with you. stress and overanalyzing every detail reach an all-time high, slowing productivity and bringing health concerns to the surface. disorganization may feel inevitable, but this is a chance to go with the flow, prioritize mental health, and restructure your routines to better align with who you are.
libra
imbalances in your relationships may surface, bringing heightened indecision - especially around breakups, past partners, or unresolved emotions. fairness might feel nonexistent, making it harder to find clarity. instead of seeking external validation, focus on setting boundaries, finding inner balance, and prioritizing what truly serves you.
scorpio
intense emotions, hidden truths, and power struggles are likely to surface. if you struggle with trust issues, obsessive thoughts, or old wounds, expect to face some challenges. this is a time to embrace change - intimacy, vulnerability, control, depth, and psychological healing will take center stage.
sagittarius
you might experience spiritual doubts, a longing for adventure yet feeling restricted. questions about your life’s purpose may arise, pushing you to reassess your beliefs and redefine what personal freedom truly means to you.
capricorn
you might notice your career goals shifting, or your authority in the workplace could be challenged. life may become more responsibility heavy, making it easy to feel overwhelmed or on the verge of burnout. take care to manage your energy and set boundaries to avoid pushing yourself too far.
aquarius
tech issues are likely to pop up; along with social disconnection and questioning your personal identity outside the group. you might feel isolated from friends or your usual circle. this is a great time to reconnect with your authentic self and focus on your individuality, rather than seeking validation from others.
pisces
feeling confused, emotionally overwhelmed, or experiencing a lot of déjà vu is common during this time. it’s a time to clarify any unclear boundaries and embrace healing in all forms. pay close attention to your dreams and mental health, as they may indicate a valuable message...

Astrology Observations pt. 3 🤹
- Leo moon/venus natives will often have a fascination with celebrities. They love the idea of being famous or coming from a prominent family so they admire people who have that.
(Side observation ♌️ : Michael Jackson had both Mercury and Venus in Leo, and was the most successful/famous musician of all time. His style was very “royal” and he loved to dress in rhinestone and gold suits. They called him the “King” of Pop which was very fitting for him astrologically)
- Saturn in Scorpio people may find concepts like death and religion extremely uncomfortable. Their relationships are mainly shallow and superficial because they fear getting deep with someone, especially themselves.
- Jupiter in Taurus loves to spend money on food & could manifest as them being a super foodie.
- People with Saturn in the 11th house (especially when harshly aspected) will feel very rejected by their peers, causing them to just avoid engagement all together. They may have negative experiences with aunts, uncles, cousins, older siblings, and step-relatives.
- Venus trine Pluto is a good aspect/transit for someone who wants to make a drastic change to their appearance (such as plastic surgery). Lip fillers, hair dying, brow tattoos, things of this nature could look totally awful on some people, but will flatter a Venus in Pluto very nicely.
- Gemini risings will argue any point even if they don’t personally agree with it, just because they can see the validity in everything. This makes them very polarizing and unable to fit in with one group.
- Women with Scorpio moons are often seen as suspicious, even if they’re well meaning. If moon is poorly aspected, they may have bad interactions with other women. Beyoncé for example has moon in Scorpio, and everyone speculates if she is a witch or in the Illuminati.
- Lilith square/opposition MC, if you have this then the women at your workplace just don’t like you. It’s nothing you did, they’re just jealous. They talk bad either behind your back or to your face, and they are jealous of you. If you work with men, they might say you got the job cuz you slept with the boss or because of your looks/femininity

Astrology Observations
Someone with Neptune in the 8th house can be sexually fluid... Whichever house Neptune sits in it can make it very changeable. In the 2nd house it can give an unstable income.
Capricorn Rising are MODELS😇 They appear to have a resting face and bony body structure. Everything about them is just *chef kisses* Gisele Bundchen is a typical Capricorn Rising.
Aquarius Venus will be weird and maybe unusual lovers? They are attracted to anything unconventional and are one.
If someone's moon falls into your 8th house, that person will be absolutely obsessed with you. They can't deny the fact that they are into you.
Capricorn moons seem to hate facetime lol.
Venus in 3rd/Gemini need to have mental attraction with their partners for it to get anywhere. If they don't have this, the relationship could feel shallow.
(This was my interpretation. Only take what resonates...)

more astro notes 🖊️


Virgo wants to take care of people in real and very physical ways. They will help you clean your home, cook your dinner when you're too lazy. They don't necessarily have an easy time taking care of you with their emotions.
Those who have a Moon-Saturn aspect in their chart have a very hard time letting people care for them.
Mercury in the 6th house is usually very detail oriented.
Jupiter in the 10th house people tend to rise faster in their chosen career and often are generally just luckier in that aspect of life.
Libras can be great at setting people up; they have a natural talent at putting people together and creating a balance.
Taurus people are very straight forward, they don't like to overthink and complicate things.
Saturn in Pisces is afraid to trust their intuition.
People born with Mercury Retrograde are more likely to hold back information, they don't feel the need to share everything all the time. Thet tend to be great meditators.
Anyone with the Sun in the 5th House should be someone who enjoys life and expresses themselves artistically, stifling that side of them will not end well for their general wellbeing and life purpose.
Moon in the 6th House people need to learn how to be vulnerable and express the need for help to others.
Leos can be so self-involved and over dramatize their own lives, that people close to them end up leaving them, they can stand on the stage delivering monologue after monologue and not notice that the audience has actually left the building.

Here are some REAL astrological tips that I'm not just pulling out my ass and actually learned from reading
1. Aquarius is not ruled by uranus, aquarius is ruled by saturn. When astrologers discovered uranus they borrowed some of the traits of saturn and applied them to uranus because they didnt know what to do with this planet. Having strong uranus influence won't make you feel like an outsider but having a strong saturn influence will. Uranus does not rule "outcasts" or "obstruction" it rules sudden changes which we only associate with aquarius because of their eccentricity and the modern rulership of this sign, aquarius isn't as open to "change" as we would like to think they are, they're a saturn(restrictions) ruled fixed sign, they're more open minded and progressive than capricorn but they're more traditional and less accepting than we think pisces to be.
2. NO planet is unwelcome in the 5th and 11th house. Any personal planets in these houses including mars and saturn, especially the chart ruler is a sign of good fortune, wealth, successful investments and just an easy life in general because these houses are the joy of Venus and Jupiter, harmful planets here become neutralized and instead work to our benefit even with difficult aspects. Ex: Someone with a 5th house saturn might work high paying government jobs or become some kind of authority(saturn) figure sometime within their life.
3. What you've been taught about the north and south node is wrong. The north node is not "underdeveloped traits" The north node represents "increase" while the south node represents decrease, not your comfort zone and this is according to hellenistic and ancient astrology. The north node represents the dragon head while the south node represents its tail. Wherever your north node(the head) is, is where there's an infatuation and/or otherwise increase of energy and experiences, the south node (the tail) is something you abandoned (and shouldnt have) so you could focus on your north node, it's not necessarily something you need to let go of because that's like saying the dragon cut his tail off so he could keep his head lol, the dragon doesn't need to cut his tail at all, his tail is what's helping send him into the right direction because how do you expect him to move without his tail? In this case the south node is something you can rely on to assist you when handling the topics of your north node, that's the whole point. If south node was something that we needed to dismiss or free ourselves from it, there wouldn't be a south node, the south node and north node exist with each other, they HAVE to co-exist
4. I don't really debate about which house system to use when reading your own chart or others but when reading transits, synastry and composite charts, I strongly recommend using WS to make things alot less confusing.
5. The moon is a significator of money in alot of the same ways venus and jupiter are that's why the moon gets exalted in taurus. Moon in Taurus, Pisces, Sagittarius or Libra in the 3rd (house joy), 5th or 11th house is an indicator of wealth.
6. When outer planets transit your cadent houses please don't have a breakdown, planets in cadent houses have the weakest influence within a person's chart.
7. The houses responsible for fame are realistically the 5th, 7th house, 10th and 11th house and everything starts with the 5th house. Explanation: 5th house is the talent you have, the 11th house is your audience, you bring the talents you build upon in the 5th house for the world to see over into the 11th house, the 7th house is your relationship to law and the public, partnerships etc, if you wanna get contracts like a partnership with the NBA or picked to star in a movie, all of this would take place in the 7th house, the 10th house is the brand and image you cultivate after your name gets around from the 7th house, this house talks about your peak, how well did you do? Did you make it big? Planets here, where it's ruler is/and aspects will color all of this. Honorable mention is the 1st house cause the 1st house like the 10th house is angular and says alot about whether eyes are on you, do you get attention, are you an extrovert, are you confident or is building up those kind of things difficult for you, all of this gets answered in the 1st house.
8. Do not let any amateur astrologers gaslight you into thinking that having 8th or 12th house placements make you spiritual, spirituality gets its meaning from the 9th house and the 11th house where jupiter finds joy, planets in the 8th and 12th house is NOT for the weak and I don't mean to sound arrogant, I have 12th house placements and I'm aware that the 12th house doesn't get its meaning from pisces or jupiter, sprutuality is meant to be a good thing, planets in these houses is not a good thing so it is not wise to draw proximity there
9. Both Venus/ Jupiter and it's aspects is an indicator of marriage, the sign they're in, house placement and aspects will tell you more about your spouse (venus if you're attracted to women and jupiter if you're attracted to men)
10. Debilitated or fallen planets are liberated or in accidental dignity when in the angular houses or the 5th and 11th. Yes this counts for retrograde planets as well even tho i don't count retrogrades as a debilitaty. Think of them as having "redemption arcs" like negan from the walking dead, started out evil or In bad condition but it got better real fast or the challenges with that placement are easy to overcome. Ex: aquarius sun in the 1st house, aquarius is obviously debilitated under the sun because the sun and saturn are enemies and aquarius gets overwhelmed by the attention and self expression that comes with the sun but with the sun in the 1st house that luminary becomes apart of you, it's literally influencing your physical body and how you behave, with the sun here you have no trouble expressing yourself and actually like attention, so it's like having a leo rising but alot more intense

Solar return observations pt. 2 (Based on my personal experiences)
I got my first laptop when I had Uranus conjunct the north node in the 2nd house in SR. It was really unexpected (Uranus) because I went to the store with my mom just to see it in person and we ended up buying it just because
When I had Mars retrograde in my SRC I was VERY LAZY!! In whole signs it was also in my 4th house which added to its debilitation and caused me to not get a lot of things done on time or with efficiency. My body always felt tired and I literally had no motivation to do anything. The simplest task felt like a prison sentence. I would also add that this placement caused me to be late to places a lot.
Speaking of, at the time Jupiter was in Aries in my src, with mars being rx and my Jupiter being ruled my mars, I can say that I was very out of touch my my spirituality that year. The year before I was a sag rising and I was very in tuned with meditation, tarot, learning a new language, and esp astro. But when I had this placement I had zero motivation to practice any of those things. So just know if u have a planet rx in ur chart and another planet being ruled by that same planet, you may experience some lack in regards to what the planet symbolizes
And lastly, Mars conjunct Moon in Gemini in the 3rd house (placidus) & 4th house(whole sign): I gotta say that having this placement was very strong. I felt it on a macro level. One of the main things I had going on with this placement is the inability to stop thinking. I was always very stuck In my head and felt incapable to stop. I was always trying to find the solution to the wrong things too. Having this placement made me reflect a lot and want to understand the deeper meanings behind things. also, lots of verbal arguments with siblings(mars in 3h) and parental figures (mars in 4h)
The year I had Libra Rising in my SRC was the year I practiced and wore makeup like every single day. I also would say that I did get a mini glow up from having this
The year I had a Sagittarius Rising was the year I attempted to learn my ethnicity’s language!!
The year I had a Cancer Rising was the year me and my family started looking for new homes!!
I developed social anxiety the year I had Mercury in the 12th house. Not saying you’ll develop or struggle with a mental illness the year you have this placement but it’s possible
Neptune in the 6th house 🤝 excessively daydreaming on a daily basis
Moon in the 12th house and I was very closed off that year. I especially felt very depressed thinking about the past and my life circumstances. I felt the need to isolate and hide myself and also daydream a lot to get away from it all which makes sense bc 12h rules escapism
Lunar return placements:
Rising sign at 26°: I was very materialistic this month and spent lots of money on food and items
Uranus in the 5th house: I developed a little crush on someone online but it was fleeting
Mars in the 4h: I was literally stuck in bed every single day
Taurus stellium in my 5th house: Definitely contributed to my lack of energy this month. And also just wanting to chill and watch tv all day long. It’s also increased my desire to cook
Taurus stellium containing sun and Venus: I feel like this is the reason behind why I was receiving so many compliments this month. Everyone was calling me pretty and said they liked my new things

Mercury Retrograde in Aries – March 15, 2025: Welcome to the Cosmic Chaos.
Part two is coming up, Tumblr wouldn’t let me use more than 10 GIFS. DM me or hit my Ko-Fi for custom readings.
Brace yourselves, besties. On March 15, Mercury stationed retrograde in bold, impulsive Aries and it’s about to drag all of us, especially Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), into a cosmic cage match with our communication, tempers, and tech. And let’s not ignore the plot twist:
Mars (Aries’ ruler) just went direct a few weeks ago, which means aggression and ambition are peaking.
Venus is ALSO retrograding in Aries, aka relationship chaos in warrior boots.
In other words, Everything’s on fire, including your group chats. Let’s dive into how each sign will get roasted, tested, and (if you’re lucky) reborn.
Aries – Your Mouth is on Fire. Literally.
You’re already blunt, but now? No filter. No chill. Just chaos. Miscommunications, temper flare-ups, and impulsive decisions that make you scream “WHY?!” two days later. Slow. Down.
If you think you should “just say it” maybe… wait 10 minutes. Or an hour. Or forever.
Taurus – Unexpected Bills, Exes, and Existential Crises
You like control, but Mercury in Aries is throwing financial curveballs and weird energy into your self-worth zone. Exes may pop up block, delete, protect your peace. Ground yourself before reacting. And double-check your bank app. Twice.
Gemini – You vs. Everyone.
Ruled by Mercury, so you’re already sensitive AF to retrogrades. Now friends are testy, texts are misread, and your jokes are starting fights. Group chats = landmines. Choose silence. (I know. It hurts. But your peace will thank you.)
Cancer – Work Chaos & Sleep Deprivation
Emails lost, meetings missed, bosses irritated, and you’re one meltdown away from quitting. Your dreams may be wild too. Journal them. They hold clues. Protect your mental health and rest like it’s a full-time job.
Leo – Social Media Mishaps & Ego Bruises
You want attention. Mercury Rx gives you misunderstood posts, ghosting, or getting called out. You’re trying to be iconic but Mercury wants you humbled. Think before posting. Or wear sunglasses and be mysterious for once.
Virgo – The Control Freak’s Breakdown
Another Mercury baby, so brace yourself. Plans fall apart, people flake, and nothing is organized. You’re either crying or rage-cleaning your entire life. Let chaos exist, you won’t die if things are messy for a few weeks. Probably.
Libra – Relationship Rewind, Drama Edition
Venus retrograde AND Mercury Rx? In Aries? Your love life is a soap opera. Misunderstandings, arguments, that one ex texting “hey.” Protect your energy. Pause before reacting. Also: NO to the ex. (You know who I mean.)
Scorpio – Secrets Slip, Tension Rises
People are spilling tea they shouldn’t, and so are you if you’re not careful. Your patience is nonexistent, and you’re ready to cut everyone off. Observe. Don’t retaliate, yet. Let others expose themselves.
Sagittarius – Chaos? I’m Home.
Plans are canceled. Travels are delayed. Your energy is all over the place. You’re annoyed, unbothered, and loud about it. Welcome to your natural state, but amplified. Channel it into art, music, movement. Or burn something safely.

🪐🪐Mercury Retrograde Nov 25- Dec 15: How It Affects You Based On Rising Sign🪐🪐
Disclaimer: It’s Mercury Retrograde. When I think of Mercury Retrograde, I reflect on how Mercury governs the mind and communication, while Retrograde represents the planet appearing to spin backward. To me, this means the mind moves backward, causing shifts in our current timeline. While we exist in the present reality, the energy of Mercury Retrograde feels like it pulls us into a different dimension or reality rooted in the past.Because of this, clarity can be difficult to achieve during this time. That’s why people often advise against making significant decisions during Mercury Retrograde—it’s as if those decisions are influenced by past experiences or moments, preventing us from being fully present and grounded. This period often brings a noticeable lack of groundedness.


Aries Rising:
For Aries Rising, your mind may feel like a confused clutter during this Mercury Retrograde, and I strongly advise against traveling at this time. Travel plans are likely to face disruptions such as delays, cancellations, or unforeseen obstacles. Even if you’re excited to go somewhere, you may struggle to achieve the experience you were hoping for.
During this period, your thoughts are likely to feel scattered, and you may begin questioning some of your deeply held beliefs. Beliefs or values that once felt unshakable might no longer seem aligned with your current life due to the timeline shift brought about by the retrograde. This can feel unsettling, but it’s an opportunity for reflection.
Let this time pass and embrace the chance to revisit the past. Reevaluate the things you used to do and consider how they align with your current beliefs. This is a chance to analyze whether you’ve been actively living out your values or simply holding onto them. The key theme for you during this retrograde is not just to reflect on what you believe but to ask yourself: How do I live out my beliefs?
Taurus Rising:
For Taurus Rising, this Mercury Retrograde is a time to be mindful, as your past will resurface, particularly moments tied to the most transformative periods of your life. If you’ve experienced significant changes this year or last, those transformations are likely to come up again. Breakups, financial challenges, or unresolved issues may reappear for deeper reflection.
You might also find yourself revisiting themes around healing—whether it’s healing you’ve done or areas where healing still feels incomplete. Romantic relationships will likely take center stage, and you may feel especially sensitive when it comes to exes or past partnerships. This could lead to psychoanalyzing your relationships, deeply examining how they impacted other areas of your life.
During this period, you might feel darker or more negative than usual. The changing seasons and transitions in general may feel especially difficult for you to process. Confusion about your past and how it has shaped your present could feel overwhelming, making this retrograde a time for introspection and gentle self-care.
Gemini Rising:
For Gemini Risings, this Mercury Retrograde will bring up a lot of reflection on past relationships, especially intimate and deeply committed ones. You may find yourself revisiting exes or seeing those relationships from a different perspective. You might start to question whether breaking up with someone was the right decision, or if the reasons you ended things now seem unclear or irrelevant in hindsight. The energy of the past will pull you in, and you may experience lingering bitterness or unhealed resentment related to past relationships.
During this time, you’ll likely feel especially sensitive about your connections with others—whether it’s with friends, family, a partner, or potential romantic interests. Misunderstandings, breakdowns in communication, or even arguments might arise, adding to the emotional weight of the period. You may also feel a sense of responsibility for others’ emotions or situations, but it’s important to remember that this is just a phase. Things will balance out again once this retrograde passes.
Cancer Rising:
For Cancer Risings, Mercury Retrograde will mainly impact your day-to-day routines and work life, so brace yourself for potential challenges. Past issues, especially related to habits, may resurface. If you’ve been working on breaking bad habits, such as overeating or struggling to stick to a diet plan, these habits could return, making it harder to maintain your discipline. You may also find it difficult to focus on your goals, whether they’re related to fitness, school, or personal hobbies, and experience a scattered, unfocused energy.Additionally, your daily life might be affected by delays and disruptions, such as traffic, construction, or other obstacles, which can throw off your time and routine. Mercury Retrograde might also prompt you to reflect on your past work life. You may find yourself revisiting career choices, questioning missed opportunities, or even grieving over them. Your current job situation could feel imbalanced, and you may experience anxiety or nervousness about your work goals, as they might seem harder to attain.Overall, grounding yourself and maintaining your usual energy levels could prove more difficult than usual, leading to increased exhaustion. Be prepared for unexpected twists and turns that may catch you off guard, making your day-to-day life feel unpredictable during this retrograde.
Leo Rising:
For Leo Risings, Mercury Retrograde brings a wave of nostalgia, especially concerning past romantic flings or casual relationships. You may find yourself reminiscing about lighthearted escapades and questioning whether you should have taken those situations more seriously. Spontaneous decisions from your past, which once felt carefree and fun, might now provoke deeper reflection, possibly even regret. You could catch yourself wondering if different choices would have made your current path easier.
This period may also make you more conscious of your pleasures and habits. If you’ve indulged in escapism through food or other comforts, you might now feel disconnected from those outlets. Perhaps your appetite has changed, or your busy schedule leaves little room for enjoyment. Day-to-day fun could feel stifled, making you more reflective and regretful about past moments of joy and lightheartedness.
Additionally, issues related to your ego and confidence may surface. You might revisit times when you were overly certain you were right or confront unresolved tensions with others. Your confidence could take a hit, leaving you feeling less decisive and less motivated to pursue your goals. Overall, this retrograde might dim your usual charisma and energy, making it harder to navigate life with the robust self-assurance you’re used to.
Virgo Rising:
For Virgo Risings, this Mercury Retrograde will place significant focus on family and your past. You may find yourself overanalyzing past mistakes, successes, and pivotal moments, which can leave you feeling highly sensitive. Being around family during this time, especially with the holidays, might easily trigger emotional reactions. Encounters with old friends, family members, acquaintances, or even former lovers could stir up unresolved emotions and test your patience. They may question decisions you’ve made in the past, which could make you feel defensive, but it also presents an opportunity to reflect on what may have hindered your progress.
This period might bring unresolved feelings and dynamics from your unconscious to the surface, causing emotional overwhelm. You may feel the urge to retreat into your shell, avoiding others and preferring solitude. However, this withdrawal could lead to conflicts within your family or close relationships. Arguments may arise, bonds could feel tested, and loyalty might be questioned. Secrets—both yours and others’—could come to light, adding to the emotional complexity of this retrograde.
You might feel tension around what you consider familiar and comforting. While you may want to retreat into your comfort zone, this could also conflict with your personal growth. During this time, it may be difficult to feel grounded or maintain mental clarity, so take care of yourself and remember that this phase will pass.
Libra Rising:
For Libra Risings, this Mercury Retrograde is likely to bring significant communication challenges. Misunderstandings, misinterpretations, and disagreements will be common, especially with friends and within your social circles. Making plans might feel chaotic, and unexpected surprises could arise, disrupting your schedule. If you’re commuting to work or traveling locally, expect delays and plan extra time to avoid unnecessary stress.
During this period, issues may surface within your friendships. Gossip or misunderstandings could create tension, and disagreements might lead to strained or even broken connections. Be cautious with how you communicate, as miscommunication could escalate into unnecessary arguments. Clarity is essential to avoid conflicts stemming from words that are misunderstood or poorly delivered.
You may also feel mentally scattered, experiencing confusion, writer’s block, or creative blocks. It might feel harder than usual to tap into your artistic or intellectual flow. Goals, ideas, and dreams from six months to a year ago could resurface, prompting you to revisit old passions or plans. However, moving forward with these ideas during Mercury Retrograde could lead to blurry intentions or uncertain outcomes. Spur-of-the-moment decisions, such as changing your appearance or making impulsive life changes, might later feel regrettable, so take time to reflect before acting.
This period could also test your relationships. Arguments, disputes, or even breakups may arise over miscommunication or unresolved tensions. If you feel strongly about a particular belief or opinion, this might not be the best time to assert it, as others may challenge you more than usual. These challenges could lead to breakdowns that you’re not prepared to handle.
Be mindful of your words, actions, and decisions during this time, and remember that this phase is temporary.
Scorpio Rising:
For Scorpio Risings, finances are likely to be a major focus during this Mercury Retrograde. Unexpected financial setbacks may occur, so it’s essential to be cautious with your money and vigilant about your spending. You might face challenges stemming from past financial decisions. If you were a disciplined budgeter before, you may still feel the effects of recent shifts in your financial habits. Unexpected expenses—such as repairs or replacements for broken items—could arise, putting additional strain on your wallet.
Pay close attention to every financial detail. Double-check your paycheck to ensure it’s accurate, and stick to a strict budget, especially if you’re holiday shopping. Overspending is a real risk during this period, and unexpected expenses could quickly derail your financial plans. Carefully review receipts and transactions to avoid mistakes or oversights.
You may also find that past financial obligations resurface. Something you did six months to a year ago—like an unpaid bill or unresolved expense—could come back to demand attention, adding stress to your current financial situation. Be prepared to balance these unexpected costs with your ongoing responsibilities.
In addition to financial challenges, there’s a risk of losing valuable items, either through misplacement or theft. Be mindful of where you place personal belongings like your purse or wallet, and secure important items in your home to prevent damage or loss.
If you’re considering selling property, such as a house or car, this is not the ideal time for negotiations or deals, as complications or delays may arise. Similarly, loaning money, borrowing funds, or making financial agreements with others may backfire. Proceed with caution and avoid entering into agreements that might put your resources at risk.
Overall, this is a period to be extra conscientious with your money, possessions, and financial plans. Double-check everything, and take a more cautious approach to spending and managing your resources. This phase will pass, but diligence now can save you from unnecessary setbacks.
Sagittarius Rising:
For Sagittarius Risings, during this Mercury Retrograde, a lot of issues may arise regarding your goals and how you want to approach life. Your overall personality will be tested, and certain people may take issue with how you’re acting, what you’re doing, and even just your existence. Your presence could annoy or frustrate others, potentially causing disputes, miscommunications, or breakdowns simply because of who you are.
During this time, you might experience a misalignment with others. The opportunities you want to pursue may not align with others’ plans or goals, leading to a sense of being out of sync. You could feel like there’s a lot of back-and-forth and misunderstandings, making it harder to connect with people around you. There may also be times when you feel like you have to handle challenges, issues, or opportunities completely on your own, as if everything is weighing heavily on your shoulders. The lack of support could leave you feeling isolated and disconnected from others. Text messages might be delayed, and communication may not be as smooth as you’d like.
You might crave adventure and want to go out and do things, but external circumstances, unrelated to you, could hold you back. Your confidence could also take a hit during this period, and you might not feel as certain about your decisions or your daily life. There could be moments when you feel less confident about your appearance, your style, or even your overall persona. During this time, you might feel as if you’re under extra scrutiny, with others bringing up things from your past that make you uncomfortable. Old tensions could resurface, and people may project their emotions and judgments onto you.
You might find yourself constantly defending your actions or dealing with situations on your own. There could be a lot of focus on you, but in a negative light, with people pointing out times in the past when they felt you were selfish or inconsiderate of their feelings or lifestyle. Past decisions and unresolved issues related to your individuality may come up, and you could feel a strong sense of dependency during this time. While you may want to achieve your goals, you could feel like you can’t reach them without the support of others, but that support may seem absent.
This might be a challenging time to start something new or pursue passions and hobbies. You may also find it difficult to continue chasing goals, as your energy could feel stifled or inconsistent. Each day may bring a different level of motivation, and you may feel like you’re stuck in a back-and-forth cycle of determination and doubt.
Capricorn Rising:
For Capricorn Risings, this is a very confusing time for you. You may feel the need to retreat from the world, as everything seems chaotic, and you might feel compelled to withdraw in order to figure out what’s going on in your life. A lot of subconscious or unconscious thoughts and feelings that you haven’t paid attention to are now coming to the surface. Themes that you’ve ignored or overlooked in the past are suddenly demanding your focus, which can be shocking at times because your usual daily routine is disrupted by complex emotions that are slowly unraveling.
There may also be a tendency to want to escape. You might feel the urge to spend a lot of time alone, go home, or retreat to nature to deal with these situations in a healthy way. Alternatively, you may end up drinking more or spending more time on your phone or gaming, trying to escape from the daily realities of life. This can be a very confusing time for your emotions, as you might feel intensely emotional but struggle to communicate those feelings. Miscommunications could arise, as others may not understand you, and you may have difficulty understanding them.
Everything may feel unclear and mystical during this period. You might also find yourself questioning long-held beliefs that no longer seem to align with your current reality, even though they once did. There will be shifts in your spiritual views and your approach to the world in general. The practical, day-to-day elements of life—such as going to work, attending school, and paying bills—may feel overwhelming and like heavy responsibilities that leave you feeling exhausted.
Exhaustion is another theme that you’ll be dealing with during this retrograde. You may feel the need for more sleep and crave time alone to recuperate. Self-care becomes essential at this time, as a lot of confusion and emotions come to the surface. Someone from your past may return to your life, leaving you wondering why they’ve come back, or you may suddenly start thinking about someone you haven’t thought about in months or even years. This will only add to the sense of confusion you may be feeling.
It’s a good time to take some time for yourself to ground your energy. The energy of this retrograde is flighty, here today and gone tomorrow, but it will still have an impact on you.
Aquarius Rising:
For Aquarius Risings, during this period, your relationships, especially those involving friendships and online interactions, may feel somewhat chaotic. You could experience communication breakdowns in your friendships, and unresolved emotions from the past may resurface. However, this is not a good time to address them, and it may lead to distance and detachment in these relationships. You might find that the hangouts and plans you try to pursue with friends don’t come to fruition. Plans can be scattered and poorly organized, making it difficult to arrange successful gatherings. There could also be a sense of tension during these hangouts, or perhaps a lack of thoughtful conversation. Impulsive thoughts may turn into arguments, making it hard to truly connect with your friends and enjoy relaxed, easy moments together.
When it comes to online interactions, you might encounter unexpected or dramatic news. If you’re active on social media, you could find yourself involved in online drama or receive random backlash or negativity from others. Posts may be taken out of context, and there may be over-analysis of your online actions and content. During this time, friendships may feel particularly sensitive, and you may find it difficult to maintain them. Daily work and routines could be overwhelming, leaving you too busy to catch up with friends, which only adds to the distance.
You might also feel the need to take a break from social media or reduce your time online. Whether it’s stepping back from posting or simply disconnecting from your phone, a social media detox might be necessary to avoid the negativity that seems to be circulating.
Pisces Rising:
For Pisces Rising during this period, you may experience a lot of scrutiny or feel like your life is being exposed in ways that make you uncomfortable. Be cautious, as people might be judging you or looking into your personal affairs more intimately than you’d like. There could also be issues with authority figures, such as bosses, supervisors, or higher-ups in school. They may not be in a position to meet your needs or desires, which could lead to conflicts. If you’re seeking a promotion, it might be delayed, and if you’re trying to schedule time off, complications with your employer could arise. You may find that your boss is more critical or nagging you about things that they wouldn’t usually bother you with.
Family dynamics might also come into play, with more communication from them during this time. You could feel a sense of scrutiny or receive negative feedback or judgment from your family. Communication may be difficult, as you and your family may not be on the same page, leading to misaligned intentions and challenges in making solid plans. Old wounds and triggers could resurface, especially regarding family or authority figures. You may feel undermined by coworkers, classmates, or family members, and old resentments from past encounters may reemerge.
There may also be a focus on past scandals, secrets exposed about you, or judgments regarding your identity and how you present yourself to the world. You might feel that your image is under greater scrutiny, and you could become more self-conscious and insecure about your appearance or your standing in the world. If you haven’t met your career goals or feel behind in your progress, you may feel insecure or less confident. During this time, it may seem like everyone is watching you, and you could experience unwanted attention. Additionally, delays in achieving your goals or feeling restricted in how you can approach things may cause frustration and conflict with your intentions.
