In your pallete post you say that if you want to build up your skills you could only use burnt umber and white :0? Is there a reason burnt umber would be better than pure black and white?

Hello anon, that is a GREAT question!

My short answer is that burnt umber is a very versatile and forgiving pigment to use, whereas black pigments [ivory black, mars black, etc] have less uses in colour mixing, are more difficult to handle, and can cause archival problems down the line, like cracking.

Further discussion and a commentary on this chart is under the readmore.

The colours mixed on the chart above were made with approximately the same amounts of paint as each other, to show how the different pigments interact.

The main thing to consider about black pigments is that they are NOT neutral in therms of hue, so if you try to darken a mix by adding black, the mix will also be pushed towards blue [for the purpose of paint mixing, we can think of black pigments as dark blue], which is usually not the colour direction intended by the artist.

A better alternative is to mix your own black colour using Burnt Umber and Ultramarine, which gives you more control over exactly what colour of black you want to make, be it more brown or more blue.

So if you are mixing your own black with burnt umber and ultramarine, the circumstance where an actual black pigment would be of use presents itself only when your subject is darker than what can be achieved via brown+blue. A similar situation to this one would be a circumstance where you need to paint something that is more blue green than ultramarine can produce, so its time to bring out the pthalo blue. These stronger pigments are sometimes called "Power Colours" and are used to supplement a limited palette.

The reason I recommend burnt umber as a beginner pigment is because it mixes well with other colours without overpowering them AND if you are just doing value studies with burnt umber and white, it's a much better time investment to learn the value scale in because burnt umber has way more applications in full colour painting than black does.

8th March ‘24 - [arch] colour!!!! community!!!

Hey Shri! <3 

Wow!!!! I’ve seen the finished Brothers Lionheart cover already, but those thumbnails are just incredible. I know you plan to move away from the dark/horror vibes of those images but they’re so impactful!! For sure save those compositions for something else. You’ve put so so much thought into those compositions, it’s inspiring me to put that level of thought into my images too. It's nuts!!!

So y’know how the plan for this blog was to take it easy and do a little at a time? Maybe just pop in and update each other on what we’ve been working on, or even what’s been inspiring us? Well, we haven’t exactly been taking it easy have we :// At the beginning of writing this I thought it was gonna be a chill one but,,, it turned out not to be.

I was lucky enough to be back in Cardiff for a bit the other week, so I hit up the Riso studio. It was super lovely seeing everyone - really made me realise the value of having an artistic community. (for context, I have been travelling recently and it’s been weird, after uni, to not be surrounded by other illustrators)

About once a month, my shared print studio has an event called Open Haus, where we’re open to the public but also loads of members will come in, have a cuppa and a biscuit and talk about art stuff. I happened to be doing some riso printing and Gavin, who’s a right babe and an excellent riso artist, was once again giving me a hand. I love working with other people in the studio, bouncing ideas off them. It sometimes helps me get out of my head (though with practice, I’m also learning to do that by myself!)

Here’s a bit of development work for the print I did a few days before printing. It was actually a bit of development for my comfort characters’ home - but as you know i love building my skills through fun things like that! Trick yourself in to improving xD

This is the print I made!! It’s titled ‘Space Fyn’, named after a place I associate with home <3 

I ran into a bit of an issue with the blue, which I originally planned to use. Once I printed it, I hated it (blehhhhhh), so! We tried a mint out instead. I still didn’t like it. But thankfully, Gavin did this thing where he made me step back and view it from afar and then I liked it again (this has happened twice now I think I need to learn to step back without his help ://) Also, there were about 10 people in the studio, and they all voted on the mint, so I printed a run of 15! (ps. you can order them by dming me on Instagram)

Later, I was showing a friend the progress and she made some great points. The dark blue gives more of an evening vibe, while the mint gives more of a sunrise vibe, a bit brighter. But also, it totally changes the tone! This has led me to think more about how different colours can be used for particular vibes :0 and how can we bend that and make it more interesting than ‘red danger’ and ‘blue sad’. 

Some notes I took from our conversation

Looking at colours in particular genres (they are used differently in specific ways in different contexts) 

for example in Westerns, good guys wearing a white hat and bad guys wearing black hats - misc characters wearing brown.

Light sabres in Star Wars very clearly symbolising ideology

Characters attached to colour - she uses blue and red to symbolise characters that oppose each other in some way, for example.

Character designs, using colours that match well for more grounded characters, and colours that clash for more unstable characters

Power rangers!!

What colour is your ‘normal’ for the world? And how will specific characters break that or blend in?

All of these are just prompts and thinking points of course, it’ll take a lot of exploring to know how i want to apply these to my work.

I was lucky enough to attend Plymouth Comic and Zine fair!!!!! (this is me :0 !!)

It was very lovely, I really enjoyed seeing people from uni, the general Plymouth illustration scene, and those few illustrators you know but only really see at fairs. I also got the opportunity to have some awesome chats about illustration (shoutout to that one hermitcraft fan who let me ramble about Minecraft builds and setting design for a bit <3). I had a chat with the wonderful Ben Wright and Jess Holloway about colours, especially in narrative, and here are some ideas I took away from that!

They didn’t have any specific suggestions for books about colour and narrivite,  but again, film came up! Colours in film are discussed a lot, and vary a lot in genre, so i’ll have to do some looking into that.

In particular wes anderson might be good to look at

How to take colour that we may associate with a particular feeling and instead make it do something else. (eg. how to make blue happy)

Colour in context with shape and composition

I was very excited after PCZF and got hyperfixated on a little drawing. You and I were chatting about folds in clothes at the fair, so this image was to play with that a bit.

Yes this is an image of my favorite block lady. I love her. [Illustration of GeminiTay, along with her season 10 skin]

I decided to use the colour pick tool from my reference for accurate colours, which I don’t normally do. I do have a habit of going too light with my values, and a bit swampy and desaturated with my colours. When I started with her trousers, I thought it was wayyyy too dark, but I decided to stick with it till the end anyway. Even though it clearly worked in the reference image, I was still surprised it worked on mine. This has proved to me that it’s okay to push and use some darker colours - which is a bit scary but I’m going to give it a go.

'messing around with colors with imp and skizz' by @applestruda

I also saw this incredible image by @applestruda using wonderful colours! This led me to play around with some high-saturation images. I wanted to draw one of GeminiTay’s builds with the spooky vibes she’s been trying to capture. I downloaded applestruda’s image, colour shifted the hue to one that fits the energy I wanted to capture, and used it to create a high saturation colour pallet. This is a great starting point since I’ve never worked with this kind of colour palette before - it gives me a starting point rather than drowning in indecision and cluelessness XD

Here’s a timelapse of the study!

Once I’d finished, I hue-shifted them for some alt colours. I find this a helpful process for figuring out colour stuff that I would never consider normally. I think I like these more, actually. The one with the reddish wood and green accents feels like it has the vibes of the original image, but is exaggerated a bit. I think it pops. And the pink is cool. I think I could have pushed the values further again, but I'm pretty happy with the final images.

So those are my colour thoughts over for now - I’m hoping to keep playing but use of colour is for sure a lifelong skill. 

The past few weeks have been so awesome. I’ve just been so so moulded by conversations with my artistic community and it’s been so lovely!!! I’m really enjoying running around the country and visiting all my pals. It was so nice to see you at PCZF and I’m looking forward to more of it!!! :D

Ps. Here are some sketches I did at the fair

Can’t wait to see more lionheart lil guys :0

god being queer is so weird

like, if you asked a physicist if this particle was positive or negative and they went “well, assuming basis vectors |+⟩ₓ and |−⟩ₓ with the Hermitian Sₓ = ½ħ(1 0; 0 −1), the expected value of the state ψ can be found by taking the inner product of the complex conjugate of ψ with the Hermitian and itself” you’d be like “what the fuck are you on about”, then they’d say “complicated maths shit, here’s a picture of a cat dying, it’s not a binary just because you’ve always experienced it as that”, and we just accept that as an answer, but apparently that’s so hard to get when gender experts tell you gender isn’t binary.

I’m lovequeer, and the types of attraction I feel are so different to most peoples’ that if I went to my parents for relationship advice it’d be the same as if I went to my dad and said “hey, you’ve got some experience with circuits right? well what do I do if |ψ⟩ = e³ · ⅕|+⟩ - iπ|−⟩?” And he would have so little understanding of what I meant that he couldn’t even tell me “that vector can’t exist because its absolute magnitude isn’t equal to one.” All he could say was Ohm’s Law or whatever, or that for some people positive attracts positive rather than negative. my mum assuming im gay when i try to come out as ace

How could I possibly tell them I’m trans if they’d then go “oh we thought you were red I guess you must be blue now” when what I’m actually trying to say is that I’m burgundy with stygian chimerism rather than perfect #ff0000 computer red. How could I tell them I’m non-binary when they’d think “oh you must be #ff00ff then” or “oh you must be #00ff00″ when non-binary literally just means “anything not #ff0000 or #0000ff”.

And of course there’s no way they could make sense of people who are #000000 or hyperbolic green or radio wave or Stiles-Crawford or transparent or a perfect black body or a soundwave or a rainbow they should go on tumblr more theyd learn about colour theory

“Are you a consonant or a vowel” bitch the voiced alveolar lateral approximant (the L sound) is a vowel in the word “bottle”, you think I know whether I’m a vowel or a consonant? The “d” in “sketched” can be either depending on how you enunciate it.

You really shouldn't use the airbrush tool to color your art

Kid, that's a tip for beginner artists who are still learning what each tool does... I appreciate the advice, but I assure you, it's one of those things where you put it on the higher shelf, until you learn how to use it right.

Sure, it looks wonky on that sketch, but I like how it looks, and I like the results I'm getting - that's the real tip... You can just use whatever you want.

Erm, and.. Next time you do give constructive criticism, sorry to criticise your criticism... But, it's much more helpful to give an explaination of why, the theory as to why you should or shouldn't do that.

The tip of 'don't use the airbrush to shade/colour' is a telephone game that came from technical factors that don't come so naturally to new artists... The main things are - when to use soft shading VS hard shading - where shadows fall, and how sharp to make the edges, if you want to use soft or hard shading at all, where light bounces and reflects onto shadows... Where your light source is effects this, thinking about objects in a 3d space... There is also the hues and values - if you're not used to what colours shade best, you can go in far too softly, or have a hard time blocking out your shapes. It is far easier for most to learn hard shading first - this is where the tip comes from. 'Don't get discouraged, you're starting on the hard part - try this, first!' -- Not, 'Don't use the airbrush, EVER.' The airbrush is one of a multitude of soft-shading tools in your arsenal, and it's a shame to just.. Never use it.

I personally use the airbrush by going in on a layer above my flats, picking my colour (colour theory is its' own thing - I veer away from layer masks, I prefer to hand-pick. But you might have more fun going nuts with masks), hard shading it in, then gently airbrushing the edge it with alpha 0 to soften it, and add my shadow reflection in with a slightly higher value colour.

I'm always open to constructive criticism.. I'm sorry, you're right that it looks wonky in that sketch, thanks for sending this in XD

Each image is a still from an animation of the growth of a cellular automaton. The images are in chronological order, but are not successive iterations. Most cellular automata use grids of square cells, but I like to experiment with other types of grid, too. Here, each cell is an equilateral triangle.

See the animated version here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=96769447&fan_landing=true&view_as=public

Learn about sandpiles and cellular automata here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MtEUErz7Gg&t=882s

The cells are colour-coded according to the numerical values contained in them: Red = 0, Black = 1, Yellow = 2.

The automaton reaches a stable, unchanging end-state when all cells have a numerical value less than 3.

SP - p5.js - ISTD

LO1, LO2

Following my tutorial, I began learning initial programming and generative art. Using p5.js, an accessible way of learning JavaScript. It was interesting in the tutorial that Mark said Java was almost a 'dirty' language, improper and has less prestige in the coding world. By getting to grips with this, I could better understand ideas in the coding world about how languages operate and the opinions about each one.

Notes

createCanvas (400,400); is the dimensions of the canvas itself. Switching the figures makes a bigger or smaller canvas size. Quantity is in pixels. The format of this is JavaScript.

setup is for setting up canvases

draw is where to put assets

rect() is to create a rectangle and the arguments (measurements) are put in the parantheses

Counting from 0 is commonly used in programming. If the x axis is 400, you would count 0-399.

When drawing in p5, for example a rectangle, rect(x axis value, y axis value, width, height); , rect(100, 50, 25, 75).

The order of shapes on the screen (arrangement) is dependant on the order they appear in the code e.g.

line(30, 20, 85, 75); rect(30, 20, 55, 55);

The line will appear beneath the rectangle.

RGB is used as colour in p5. For example: background(220, 0, 200); produces a pink background. R = 220, G = 0, B = 200.

Each colour is on a spectrum of amount of 0 - 255 meaning there are 256 increments of colour.

When RGB all equal 0 its black

When R = G = B its grey e.g. (100,100,100). If you put in one argument it assumes grey (100).

Do not forget to place functions in {} !!!!!

If you want different components to be different colours, put the properties BEFORE the object. E.g.:

fill(0,0,255); stroke(0, 255, 0); rect(30, 20, 55, 55); fill(200, 0, 200); ellipse(150, 250, 100, 75);

If you don't want to have a stroke or fill you would say 'noStroke' and 'noFill' as putting 'stroke(0)' wouldn't be no stroke, it would be grey.

Adding a fourth argument e.g. fill(200, 0, 200, 100) would dictate the opacity of the object. Again on a scale of 0-255.

strokeWeight(x) determines the pixel length of the stroke.

The console tab beneath the code is where messages regarding potential errors in code will appear. You can also put your own messages in the console tab.

You can implement code comments by writing after //

Creating A Cohesive User Experience Using HSL Colors In CSS

What is HSL?

HSL stands for hue saturation lightness. Based on the RGB color wheel, HSL is used. Each color is assigned an angle and a percentage for its Saturation and lightness.

Let's look at the example of the sky-blue color we talked about earlier. We first pick the color as we would normally from a colour picker. Next, we get the HSL value.

Notice: While I am using Sketch App, you can use any design tool that you like.

Take a look at the following:

You will notice the HSL values. The angle is the angle that represents the angle of the particular color. It is sky blue in this example. Once we have the angle, you can adjust the Saturation or brightness to suit your needs.

SATURATION

The Saturation of a color is how saturated it should be. 0% is completely unsaturated and 100% is fully saturated.

LIGHTNESS

It controls the color's lightness. For example, 0% is black and 100% is white.

We now have three values to represent color: angle, Saturation and brightness. This is how you can use color in CSS.

.element { background-color: hsl(196, 73%, 62%); } Copy

We can modify the angle of the color to get colors with similar Saturation and lightness. This can be very helpful when creating secondary brand colors.

Can you see how these colors relate to one another regarding Saturation and lightness? This can be achieved by simply changing the angle of the color. This is the beauty of HSL colors. HSL colors are easier to read and modify than any other type of color.

How to create a cohesive user experience using HSL colors in CSS

The user experience (UX) is a critical aspect of any website or application. The goal of a UX designer is to create a seamless and cohesive experience for users, which can be achieved through color. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is a color system in CSS color methods that can be used to create a cohesive user experience. This essay will discuss how to create a cohesive user experience using HSL colors in CSS.

SO. you might have heard about the itch.io bundle for ukraine! which you can find here. the offer ends on the 18th (of march, 2022) i believe.

The proceeds for this bundle will go to two charities that work to help Ukraine, a very good reason to support it for just $10 already. but for that 10 dollars you'll also receive 992 games/a couple other miscellaneous things.

this post is me convincing you to buy it based on the exciting things in the bundle!

there are 573 'games', that is to say, digital games to be played on a device like a computer or phone (531 are compatible with windows, 291 compatible with macOS, 234 with linux, 30 with android and 20 are played in the browser)

now, since buying this bundle 4 days ago i've mostly looked at the other major category, 'physical games', physical here meaning you get a pdf or something of the sort and you use that to play the game. most of these are ttrpgs or can be used to enhance your ttrpg gaming experience. (ttrpg = games in the same category as dnd)

SO NOW I'LL GET TO THE MEAT OF THIS POST. the recommendations.

thirsty sword lesbians

this game i've actually wanted for a little while, and seeing it in this bundle kind of solidified that i wanted to buy it. it's based on the powered by the apocalypse game rule thingies, which is a much easier system to learn than dnd, if my experience with monster of the week, which is based on the same system, is anything to go by. i've read the guidebook a little bit and it is very explicitly queer and anti-fascist and includes instructions for ensuring the mental safety of the players of the game.

on the search for a slightly improved Improved Disability Pride Flag

so. a couple hours ago @capricorn-0mnikorn answered an ask about the disability pride flag she made. it included an open request for people to try and make new images of this flag, fiddling with colour values and making more hi-res versions. i happen to know my way around a vector software, so i just spent some time fiddling and i have three things to share.

first off: the original in more pixels

i simply colourpicked from the original image and this is that. the dimensions are also slightly different, this is the dimensions that google tells me flags are typically in.

secondly, i fiddled with the colours

"Ivan Goncharov" this, "Nikolai Goncharov" that, when will you guys realize there's a reason we don't know his first name. the POINT is that we don't know. Goncharev is a family name and whoever Goncharov used to be totally went up in being the head of the Family. he doesn't HAVE a personal name to denote who he is outside of his mafia persona.

Did you know that there are stages that every drawing must evolve through to look convincingly realistic? And If “my portraits drawings don’t look realistic, I know I’m missing something but do not know what is it” is what frustrates you, then here is an action plan designed to draw best portraits drawings. 

In this blog we present a Step by Step guide on how to draw realistic portraits by revealing many tips and tricks of improving your observation at every stage. This is a small compilation from our Online drawing classes 

These Steps Are For You To Use, Analyse And Apply In Your Current Portraits Drawings.

How To Choose A Good Reference Photo For Portrait

Choosing a subject for a portrait must be a smart one! But how to choose an ideal portrait reference? Consider these Points to select the reference.

 Lighting, meaning it must not be too overexposed(too bright) or underexposed(too dull).

 High Resolution (Search for large size images)

 Composition (Balanced with breathing space)

 Matches the looks of a person in actuality. We look different in different photos and angles, it is best to choose  a reference that reflects the best of the person, it could be the smile, the cheeks, dimple, or any feature.

Don’t Miss On Proportions

If the Drawing is not accurate, how matter realistic you try to shade, it is meaningless as the base has been ignored. Even if you draw using a grid, you may end up making mistakes! Understand the anatomy and keep checking the proportions again and again. To check the accuracy at this first stage and the last stage too, use this trick! Turn your pencil art work upside down and do not name the features as eyes, nose, lips, etc. Just focus on accuracy of lines, abstract shapes. Another trick is to flip the drawing and reference vertically and check the accuracy. Proportions are accurate when you draw what you see and not what you know.

 What To Start First After Portraits Drawings

The further process is exactly how we teach in our online art classes. 0 Lightly just shade the dark areas so that you can identify the character of the portrait before working in a detailed way. To start the portrait, if you are a right handed artist, start from the top left part of the drawing. In case if you are a left handed artist, start from the right top corner. Another better option is always going from top to bottom.

How To Draw Hair

While drawing any type of hair, Note these few things which can make them look more realistic.

 Always shade in the direction of the flow of hair in the reference and create a base layer

 Maintain the contrast in hair. Let the hair be in any colour or type, either the darkest dark v/s dark values or   the lightest value v/s white. 

 We have the tendency of adding more highlights than actual ones. Maintain the light areas as it is or add   highlights in the end.

 Bonus Tip: I am sure many of us face the problem of seeing white spots due to textured paper and charcoal  doesn’t fill the gap completely. In such cases, use a Sharp pencil and fill in first and in the final stage use a  Filbert brush to fill those gaps.

How To Draw The Skin

Skin Texture is not just about learning wrinkles, pores and freckles. Many of them fail in bringing realism to skin because they focus more on texture rather than one important aspect. Could you guess that? It is the transition of tones from dark to light underneath them. Do not miss on 

 The base transition of tones, 

 Keep the halftones, highlights, the shadows in place 

 Only then, add textures! 

How To Draw Eyes

There are a thousand photos, and videos on the eye!  The eye is an attractive emotive subject to draw. In portraits drawings, several steps must be considered while drawing an eye.

Outline of the eye. Every realistic face is 5 eyes wide and we often make mistakes by drawing the eyes bigger in  size than actual. Always cross check the accuracy and mark the pupil and highlight

 First, shade the pupil and then shade the iris in the direction of circumference. Pro-tip: Keep the edge of the   iris slightly blurry just as our eyes are.

 Another tip is, that the sclera (white part of the eye) is never purely white! Capture that light tonal value! Only   the highlights are white. This really transforms your eye into a realistic one

 Add depth in and around the eye skin. Darken the creases using 2B or 4B.

 Draw the eyelashes and eyebrows using an extremely sharp pencil and in the eye.

How To Draw The Nose

 Focus on the dimension of the nose before shading it. It will help you in rendering the lighter tones in an   accurate place.  

 The Nose will always cast a shadow and it’s necessary to notice it and render it carefully.

 For Textures, the direction of the pore textures will be in the direction of dimension and flow.

How To Draw Lips 

Portraits Drawing lips and teeth are often started with a base layer and then adding the tones just as in the skin. Here the highlights must be made in the end. For teeth, always use HB or B to shade them.

How To Define The Subject

Portraits Drawing is a balancing act. Just as we need to “specify” some areas of our drawing (like the focal point), we need to “simplify” others too. Both create balance. A common tendency is to draw detail just because it’s there, you cannot ignore it! Details everywhere are very uncomfortable to look at! To hold on to a viewer’s attention, simplifying the rest is important. In Portraits, the highlights in the drapery of cloth and rest must be toned down (fade) and soft edged.

How To Give Background

The Background is not a compulsion. But there are three things must consider while making backgrounds.

 The Background must be natural and blurred. A Shallow depth of field in camera can help you achieve.

 Transition backgrounds look calm and do not overpower the subject, rather help in achieving the finishing   touch to it.

 Always consider the lighting of the background, it matters a lot. utilise natural window light or soft lighting for   soft backgrounds

Many create contrasting Booker backgrounds which are as bright as the subject which fails in attracting a viewer’s attention to the portrait. This is one of the most challenging portraits I made recently.

 

Realistic drawing is a learnable skill. You can drastically improve your drawings with proper instruction and practice. Apply these various tips step by step to transform your portraits drawings. To learn in detail, you can check out our Online sketching course which not only covers the fundamentals of drawing and shading but also helps in developing a strong foundation to draw any portrait or subject! Check the course details here.

♡ Pick a Card ♡

Advice from your Spirit Guides!

This reading is for entertainment purposes only.

This is a timeless reading for the collective, therefore it is likely that some messages will not resonate with you. Please only take the messages that do! The messages that do not, are meant for somebody else. Remember that the future is never set in stone and that you possess free will! Love you! ♡

Pile 1

Charm: Shell

You may see shells as signs from the universe. You may have Venusian placements. You have a tough exterior, but once you finally open up to people you are a hidden gem! You are a person that values privacy.

Flower: Carnation

The meaning of carnation changes depending on its colour, since this one is a stripped purple carnation, it symbolizes rejection/refusal and capriciousness. It being a dry bud, for me at least, symbolizes that this is a small issue that isn't likely to grow! You might've been refused a caprice recently, or you may have too high expectations that are likely not going to be fulfilled.

Significator: Page of Cups

Self-sufficient is the word I thought of when I saw this card. I think that at the moment you are really starting to work through your emotions, you might be finally doing some introspection, journaling, talking to people, seeing a therapist, etc. You are beginning a journey of emotional growth. You might also be receiving a message soon, be aware of any symbols that matter to you or ask the universe for certain symbols for guidance.

Astro: Virgo and Capricorn

There is a high chance that you have Virgo or Capricorn placements. You may be earth dominant. You may be Mercury/Saturn dominant/ruled. This could also apply to the person you need advice on if that is the case.

I thought of soil when I saw these cards, not a plant, but very well-nourished soil. It seems like you are making a foundation for yourself that is not rooted in anyone else, it simply comes from you. You are the soil, the water, the nutrients, and your future self is the plant. Flower crowns may be significant to you as well, or you may find great healing by connecting with nature and connecting to nature's cycles.

What you need advice on:

VI of Wands and X of Pentacles (reversed)

There are a few possibilities I see here. You may be having a hard time getting your accomplishments noticed by others, you might not receive the praise you desire or feel you deserve. Another possibility is that you may have a hard time feeling successful due to your financial situation. You may have received a large sum of money that should make you happy, but it doesn't. You may be very well off financially, but it is causing some hardships, and others might not understand these hardships because they think that they'd be very happy in your position.

Advice:

King of Pentacles and XVIII. The Moon

I feel like at least one of you should monetize your intuition. Some of you have or will meet a person (very likely an earth placement), that is either a business partner or a lover/friend, that will somehow help you with your financial issue. They might recommend you to someone for example. Perhaps if you confide in the King of Pentacles, they'll help you immensely, they're someone you can rely on, if not financially, emotionally. Others should embody the King of Pentacles, be determined, stick to a routine. For others, someone could be hiding smth from you that would help you immensely with this issue. Listen to your intuition! Do not forget that your anxieties and fears are valid, and it is normal to be feeling like this! Your worth is not defined by your financial success!

38. Willow and 5. Cerato and Honeysuckle

Willow talks about self-responsibility: make a plan, stick to it and, most importantly, try to stop complaining. You have the strength to get through this, complaining just engrains it in your head that you have a problem making it harder to get out of that mindset, instead try working on the solution. Cerato talks about the fact that no matter how many people you ask, no matter how many books you read, your gut knows best! Trust yourself and your intuition. Whatever feels right, is! Just know that domestic happiness is very important right now, cherish whoever that may be (King of Pentacles perhaps), be it your cat or even yourself if you live alone, give and accept affection! This could be a message for a specific person but I feel called to note that as I was shuffling the oracles I started singing "Runaway" by Aurora. Perhaps the lyrics are meaningful to one of you, or it can reassure you that this pile is meant for you if this is your favorite song.

Pile 2

Charm: Cactus

You may see cacti as signs from the universe or have a very strong emotional attachment to them due to a certain memory. I feel like a lot of people are attracted to you, but they feel that you will reject or hurt them if they get too close. Or you consciously or subconsciously hurt people when they get too close. You might think you don't deserve love, which is NOT TRUE. Love isn't something that has to be deserved! But if it were, you most certainly deserve it!

Flower: Freesia

Yellow freesias symbolize joy, renewal, and friendship. It is the go-to flower to convey to someone that you trust them. You are incredibly trustworthy, someone to whom your loved ones come for advice. You are a great listener, are very delicate and tactful in your interactions with others.

Significator: IX. The Hermit

You are doing a lot of self-reflection right now, sometimes the pondering even turns into daydreams. You may also be connecting with and thinking about your spiritual/religious beliefs. You are looking to understand the light that illuminates your path. You may have started meditating, or you should start! Spiritual awakening is happening or coming soon! You could be isolating yourself at the moment as well.

Astro: Jupiter and Libra

There is a high chance that you have Libra or Sagittarius placements. You may be air dominant. You may be Jupiter/Venus dominant/ruled. This could also apply to the person you need advice on if that is the case.

The words that I kept thinking about at this point in the reading were "letting karma do its job" and "visions of the future". You may be clairvoyant! But most of you act a lot like the Justice tarot card, you like balance and fairness, and have a life philosophy based on these ideas. Your higher education might've played a big role in this.

What you need advice on:

II of Cups (reversed) and Queen of Swords

Someone may be rationalizing or overthinking a perceived imbalance in a relationship. Of course, the Queen of Swords, likely an air placement, is intelligent, they may be right in their thinking but because of the advice received, I believe their judgment is clouded by insecurity. They may feel unworthy of what they receive, seeing that you chose the cactus charm and have libra as an astro card, it is very likely that this is you but this may be your person as well, both options are possible.

Advice:

King of Cups and IV of Swords (reversed)

See, the King of Cups is upright, this person, very likely a water placement, is very emotionally mature, compassionate, and understanding. Whereas the swords person is exhausted and stagnant due to the deep contemplation happening. I feel they may also be insecure, causing the overthinking. If this is you, trust me, you deserve the King of Cups! If this is your person, make them realize that they deserve you! They need a lot of reassurance.

1. Agrimony and 7. Chestnut Bud and Morning Glory

Love, whether romantic or platonic, requires hard work, determination, and affection. Agrimony talks about a person that needs balance, both inside and outside. You may find it by showing more of yourself, especially by starting with your loved ones. Because you might not be used to it, start little by little, and observe how accepting those you love can be. Chestnut Bud talks about focus and learning from experience. For me, it's another confirmation that someone is overthinking, see the girl looking very melancholic, whereas their counterpart is goofing around. Don't take life too seriously! Have fun with your loved one!

Pile 3

Charm: Leaf

You might see certain trees or leaves as signs from the universe. When I picked up this charm I immediately thought "Leave!" So if you were thinking about a voyage, there's your sign, just be mindful of covid regulations, please. The idea of falling also popped up, so you might be falling for someone rn or feeling like you're in a perpetual fall emotionally.

Flower: Orchid

I would just like to point out that, although this orchid dried white, it was actually a baby purple orchid when alive. I will therefore explain both colors: purple orchids represent royalty, admiration, and respect, whereas white ones symbolize purity and innocence. But they are, no matter what color, always a symbol of luxury, delicate beauty, and virility.

Significator: 0. The Fool

You may be starting smth new with confidence, smth you haven't done before, making you a bit inexperienced, but still willing to take the leap of faith. OR you may be acting foolishly by looking back or the opposite way of the thing you'd do with confidence. Let me explain, as you can see the Astro cards are both looking in one direction, with determination, and confidence. Whereas The Fool is looking the opposite way. Your significator may be saying that you're being foolish to look the other way, wondering what-ifs.

Astro: Sagittarius and Mars

There is a high chance that you have Sagittarius, Aries, or Scorpio placements. You may be fire dominant. You may be Jupiter/Mars dominant/ruled. This could also apply to the person you need advice on if that is the case.

You have a clear goal that you can easily reach through your actions. Look at Mars' demeanor, he knows Sagittarius is hitting the target. Do not doubt yourself, there's nothing to worry about. Stay focused!

What you need advice on:

XI. Justice (reversed) and Queen of Cups

Clearly, there is a decision to be made here, and you really want to listen to your heart. And you're questioning whether you should? I just want to reassure you, the Queen of Cups is highly in tune with their intuition and their emotions, you should trust yourself.

Advice:

X of Swords (reversed) and II of Pentacles

You are clearly in pain, whether or not it is talking about this decision that is eating you up. Healing and recovery are important right now! It's time to stop resisting an inevitable end, and start recovering. Look, the reversal allows for the swords to just fall out of your back, just look inwards! Don't forget to balance work with fun, you deserve to relax! Another way to see this is that you are restricting yourself by seeing this as a choice, why not do both? Although, if we are talking about people here, there better be a mutual agreement on polygamy! I will not invite you to cheat! If we are talking about activities, you are capable of doing both if it's too hard to choose, you just need to figure out how to balance them. A specific message is that some of you want to go back to doing smth you've dreamt of doing as a child, if that is the case, pls do it, at least as a hobby!

13. Gorse and 32. Vine and Trumpet Gentian

There is a need to heal some inner wounds. I immediately thought of inner child work when I saw the Trumpet Gentian in combination with the Vine. Vine talks about acts of service and leadership skills, try parenting yourself/your inner child, give yourself the love that you may have lacked as a kid. You are worthy of it! Gorse is all about perspective and imagination. Do a brainstorming of possible outcomes depending on the decision you take, you can do this alone, but the input of loved ones that can be honest with you would do wonders. Don't forget your future can go in many different ways, and whichever decision you take is the right one!

Pile 4

Charm: Angel

You may see angels or angel numbers as signs from the universe. You are a person that is divinely guided and divinely protected. It seems to me like you have a very strong intuition or are very aware of your divine gifts.

Flower: Rose

Of course, roses are always symbolic of love. Therefore I believe it is more note-worthy here to talk about the size. This is a tiny rose. Just like the carnation bud, it did not have time to grow and is now immortalized in its youth stage. You may be inexperienced in love, or hold naive beliefs about it. You might be experiencing youthful romance right now.

Significator: XV. The Devil

What I find interesting here is that you got the angel charm with the devil significator. This is very conflicting energy. The sentence that I kept thinking throughout the reading is "wolf in sheep clothing" or "sheep in wolf's clothing", I kept mixing up the words, just very contradictory energy. The way you present yourself to the world is very different from how you truly are. You might also be a person prone to obsessing over people, things, interests, etc. I also would like to note here that this pile was the hardest to get the cards, the amount of shuffling I did here until the cards flew made me sweat hahaha. It's also a very confusing reading. Therefore, I believe you carry a lot of confusion yourself, although your intuition is incredibly powerful, you might suffer from being very paranoid, and sometimes being unable to differentiate your intuition from your delusions. I also think you're very secretive, you do not want people to know or understand you.

Astro: Neptune and Moon

There is a high chance that you have Pisces or Cancer placements. You may be water dominant. You may be Neptune/Moon dominant/ruled. You could have a Neptune/Moon aspect. This could also apply to the person you need advice on if that is the case.

"This is a time of great psychic sensitivity for you. Trust your intuition and follow its guidance." You should try to differentiate emotions from intuition, I know it's hard, but they are different things, and it's very important to tell them apart! Your dreams may hold messages, try having a dream journal and interpreting them if you don't do that already.

What you need advice on:

IX of Wands (reversed) and V of Swords (reversed)

As you can see ALL of the tarot cards I've received in this reading are reversed, implying inner conflicts that require inner change/work. You might've said/done smth you now regret, and you hate yourself for it, you may also be incredibly paranoid that others will find out. You want the paranoia to end. You want to make amends, to reconciliate/atone, but are unsure on whether you should do it. Perhaps you don't feel emotionally prepared to reopen that wound.

Advice:

V. The Hierophant (reversed) and VII of Wands (reversed)

What I noticed here is that The Hierophant mirrors The Devil, not as perfectly as The Lovers, but it is incredibly similar. Once again that energy of opposition, contradiction, and confusion appears, "the wolf in sheep's clothing". For some, my fixation on this phrase could be a warning. For others an invitation to look in the mirror... Try looking at the situation from the other person's point of view! I'm not saying you are a "wolf in sheep's clothing", but that might be how you're being perceived. You are exhausted, remorse is eating up all of your energy. The Hierophant is saying that you should stay true to your personal beliefs, so if you believe apologizing is necessary to move on, do it!

This could be unrelated and for a specific person, but don't be afraid of challenging the status quo! If it hurts none, do as you will, embody your true self! I just want to remind you that going against your loved one's idea of "normalcy" is not hurting them, it's loving yourself. But remember that you also don't owe anyone a "coming out", you are valid whether or not you tell people! Do whatever your heart tells you and please be safe!

!!! : Of course, this doesn't count if what's challenging the status quo doesn't respect others' identity/ sexuality/ ethnicity/ religion/ etc. If challenging the status quo comes from a place of hate please block me. Nobody is using this reading as a sign to do some fucked up shit.

3. Beech and 2. Aspen and Lily

When I saw Beech I immediately thought "talk to someone, or you could spiral." Beech talks about self-acceptance and self-compassion. You must first accept yourself as you are, an imperfect human being, like all humans, before starting to work on embodying your highest self. Stay open-minded! Aspen, on the other hand, invites you to connect with others, not only for advice or consoling but for quality time! I have a feeling that you have very high morals, but having them isn't enough, you must act accordingly!

Thank you for reading! Love you all.♡

You can buy me a coffee if you feel called to do so! This is never necessary, but always appreciated! ♡

Which TMA Entity is Sexiest? Results!

*Disclaimer: This is all for Laffs, Joaks if you will. I don’t take this survey very seriously and neither should you. I will probably make a new post later with some Serious Analysis (most likely stuff about what people are drawn to vs repulsed by), as well as some qualitative data about people’s reasons for selecting each Entity, but this post is long enough as it is.

*Also if anyone from Rusty Quill happens to see this, I regret nothing and do not apologize. And uhhh, cool podcast, good job.*

Statement of tumblr user screechingpulsar, regarding the sexiness of eldritch fear gods. Survey Statement recorded from April 11, 2021 to April 16, 2021.

Statement begins.

It’s been almost a week, and I’ve already received 121 responses to my dumb survey inspired by @entities-of-posts​ (link to that post here), but the rate of new responses has slowed considerably, so I’m going to post the results now.

Quick summary for those who do not find spreadsheets, visuals, and more specific data sexy:

Raw Sexiest Entities:

1 - The Vast

2 - The Eye and The Spiral (tied)

3 - The End

Least Sexy Entities by Positive Vote (asking abt preferences)

1 - The Lonely

2 - The Extinction

3 - The Dark

Least Sexy Entities by Negative Vote (asking about least sexy specifically)

1 - The Corruption

2 - The Lonely

3 - The Flesh

Net Sexiest Entities (Sexiest Entities after votes for Least Sexy are subtracted)

1 - The Vast

2 - The Spiral

3 - The Eye

A more detailed summary of the survey results are available below the cut.

The Sexiest TMA Entities

Here are the raw Sexie results in pie chart and bar graph form:

[Image ID: a pie chart titled “Which TMA Entity is Sexiest?” displaying the results of my survey in colorful wedges. The largest wedge is The Vast, and the smallest The Extinction. The Lonely is conspicuously absent from the pie chart. End ID.]

[Image ID: A bar graph displaying the same survey results as the previous image, though with less colour. End ID.]

As you can clearly see, The Vast, The Eye, The Spiral, and The End are highly regarded in terms of Sexiness, while The Lonely has Absolute Zero Sexiness. Speaking of lack of Sexie, what did y’all have to say about the LEAST sexy Entity?

The Least Sexy TMA Entities

[Image ID: A pie chart titled “Which TMA Entity is LEAST Sexy?” with colorful wedges displaying the results. The Corruption takes up roughly a third of the chart, and The Lonely about a quarter. End ID.]

[Image ID: The same data as the pie chart, but in bar graph form. The Spiral and the Stranger both received no votes as least sexy Entity. End ID.]

So we’re a little more unanimous on which Entity is the Least Sexy I see.

But! If you paid attention to my quick summary at the top of this post, you’ll have noticed that we have a Tie to break! What is sexier, Voyeurism or Gay Hallways That Eat People? Only one way to find out.

NET  SEXINESS.

[Image ID: A bar graph that goes into the positive and negative Y values titled “Net Sexiness vs. Entity”. In decreasing value, The Vast, Spiral, Eye, End, Hunt, Web, Stranger, and Slaughter are in the positive sexiness values, while The Dark, Extinction, Flesh, Lonely, and Corruption are in the negatives. The Buried is neutral. End ID.]

With the power of MATH, I have deduced that the Spiral is slightly sexier than The Eye, on account of some people Not Being Into Voyeurism. Meanwhile, the Corruption is widely regarded as being deeply, profoundly, immensely unsexy, despite having some positive votes.

And the Lonely’s sole presence as a non 0 data set is to be Unsexy, but only moderately compared to the visceral disgust of the Corruption.

So even in unsexiness it cannot reign. Take that Peter Lukas, you sad, stinky little man.

Has this been enlightening for you? Do you feel smarter now? You shouldn’t, I’m the one who had to learn how to use Excel calculations because I can’t count.

Tune in... The Future, where I’ll share a summary of people’s reasons for picking each Entity as the Sexiest and Least Sexy!

Astrology of Sasuke, Itachi and Naruto: a semi-comprehensive analysis

I’ve been wasting away months of my life on this task and I’m finally reaching relatively passable results. This is the fruit of my labour thus far.

I really tried to be as unbiased as possible and keep several different interpretations of the characters in mind but I can’t guarantee that my personal feelings and opinions didn’t seep through to some extent (specially with regards to that whole genocide thing). I also don’t like some of these characters as “people” so I’ll warn you beforehand, I ended up bad-mouthing Naruto and Itachi a bit.

This post is broken up into four sections. 

Section one is a quick run up of the planets (only the ones I’ve been working on), houses and aspects. 

Section two is about the signs I’ve chosen for the characters, how I’ve chosen the degrees, and natal aspects. 

Section three is focused on degree interpretations. 

Finally, we will have a quick look at synastry and composite.

I’ve used equal temperament house system and cross check with placidus though because I don’t have Konoha’s longitude and latitude I’ve used Japan’s ones. Also, in this post we are assuming that Naruto’s planet is earth and their moon (and other planets) functions the same way as ours.

The degree interpretations are supposedly translations of La Volasfera published by Sepharia in 1898 (the translations. La Volasfera is older), Walter Henson’s interpretations and Kozminsky’s interpretation in that order. Keep in mind that they lived in different times and some of the things they say reaaallly reflects that.

For aspect and midpoint calculations, I couldn’t be bothered to calculate everything by hand so I wrote a short program for it; however, I didn’t debug much. It should work fine but just in case something slips by, I’m giving a warning. I also didn’t proof read so please excuse any mistakes.

This is a long post. Any additional comments, opinions, ... are welcome.

inconjunction (150): awkward, can’t be compromised, has to be tolerated, minor, ...

semi-square (45): like square but weaker, minor, ...

quintile and biQuintile (72 and 144): creative, dynamic but compatible and comfortable, minor, ...

sesquiquadrate (135): making a mountain out of a molehill, acting energetically without understanding consequences, putting a lot of energy but the more you try the less you get results but when you don’t try they work really well, minor, ...

Additional notes:

on a full moon sun opposite moon occurs. The moon would be 180-225 degrees away from the sun. 

during the last quarter phase, the moon is 270-315 degrees ahead of the sun (Sasuke was born on this phase). 

mercury is up to 28 degrees away from the sun and venus is up to 48 degrees away from the sun.

aspect between sun and moon could denote how you perceive the relationships between your father figure and mother figure.

neptune retrograde happens every year when neptune is opposite sun.

plutonian relationships tend to be controlling, obsessive, disrespectful, painful and manipulative but can be transformative and life-changing.

neptunian relationships and about falling for an idealized image and not seeing things for what they are, rose coloured glasses, a feeling of betrayal and disillusionment once those glasses are shattered, forgiving easily, lack of boundaries in both good and bad ways, worshiping someone and putting them on a pedestal and never seeing them for what they are (humans), overlooking vices that shouldn’t be over looked, ...

both neptunian and plutonian relationships can manifest in nice ways but generally they tend to not do that as both people involved would have to be quite “evolved”, mature and level-headed for that among other things.

Section Two: natal signs and aspects

We will start this section with Sasuke, then we will have a look at Itachi and then Naruto. I’ve checked to make sure that it is mathematically possible (though I didn’t get into retrograde cycles much) for the characters to have these placements both on their own and relative to each-other. 

I put a picture of each character’s natal aspects and wrote which degree I used. If it is between several possible degrees I wrote it in orange, otherwise, it's green. I didn’t discuss the aspect interpretations much because this post would become far too long if I did. I also used pretty wide orbs because the exact degrees weren’t certain but the overall range was extremely likely.

Sasuke’s planets and house placements:

Ascendant: Capricorn 21-22 or 23-34 degrees

Sun: Leo 0-1 degrees (7th)

Moon: Taurus 22-23 degrees (4th) 

Mercury: Leo 12-13 degrees (7th)

Venus: Cancer 15 degrees (6th)

Mars: Scorpio 12 degrees (10th)

Saturn: Cancer 28-29 degrees (7th)

Neptune: Libra 4-5 or 5-6 degrees (8th)

Pluto: Aquarius 10-11, 13-14, 15-16 or 18-19 degrees (1st)

His sun was decided by the author and fits him quite well so there is no need for speculation. Sun in the 7th seems iffy but he does only go for people he respects, deems as reliable/competent and all that (that sun-saturn conjunction in the 7th house) and some of his identity is based on his interpersonal relationships. He also has that passive, non-confrontational way about him where people intrude on his personal space and disregard his boundaries all the time and he really doesn’t react as strongly as one would expect.

There seems to be a common consensus about his Ascendant in the anime astrology community. It is also worth noting that capricorn ascendants are often mistaken as scorpios for some reason. He is driven, comes across as standoffish and serious, has a slight aloof way about him, it puts his mars in the 10th and his moon in the 4th which is perfectly him, ... (I actually considered cancer ascendant for him at first because he had those doe eyes, soft features, youngish face, paler than his brother/father, family oriented, ... but I was torn between that and capricorn and everyone said capricorn so capricorn it is.) 

With regards to his moon, as I’ve already mentioned in my previous posts, I saw how Naruto was born on a full-moon and how the relationship between his parents had that masculine-feminine polarization and some other things and decided to put his moon in aries and if we were to calculate Sasuke’s moon with consideration to the moon’s average speed and the time between his birth-date and Naruto’s, we get moon in taurus (3rd decan, in his 4th house), and the degree will be explained in the third section but the house placement is apparent, given that Sasuke’s heart and comfort has always been with family, home and roots (clan). The cancer one also works because, again, heart with family and an innate gentleness and the 6th house can bring a need to be of use and good organization skills and an attention to order, efficiency and good dietary habits which he certainly does posses. 

Mercury in Leo is self explanatory. It’s either this or cancer and his style of communication is blunt, straightforward, sarcastic, confident, direct and to the point, dramatic, ... and his learning style matches leo more than cancer.

Venus in cancer is one that I doubted quite a good deal and there isn’t a common consensus about it either. The options are gemini, cancer, leo and virgo. I’ve heard mostly leo and virgo but I personally think Cancer in the 6th house makes more sense than in Virgo in the eight. This is based on his aesthetic sense, my understanding of his values and his love style with the only person whom I’m 100% sure he loves (his brother). He really needed quality time to feel loved, he valued competence (6th house) and family (cancer), he cared about receiving compassion from loved ones more than many of the other characters, he expressed affection mostly through acts of service (6th house), he was verbally expressive and hugged his brother and all that so he wasn’t that distant or somber in his approach to expressing affection in general (cancer), he got sulky when his brother refused to spend time with him and pouted and blushed a lot (cancer), ...

Mars in scorpio is another thing where everyone is of the same opinion and it falling into the 10th house makes it even more fitting as he will be very driven and hyper focused on one thing and he can also spend a very long time not having anything to do with fun or sex or any of that. The 10th house is disciplined, it delays, it makes thing serious and it has much to do with self-restraint. This placement is very action oriented and Sasuke is exactly that (he doesn’t spend time just thinking about doing things or just talking about them, he does them).

Saturn in cancer aspecting both his sun and venus. He was only expressive and affectionate with people he was comfortable with and his relationship with his father and authority figures and his general demeanor practically scream saturn in hard aspect to sun. Misfortune in the home and family life and a rigid upbringing (military parents) which saturn in cancer can bring are also there.

Pluto is a generational planet but I’m convinced that it falls into Sasuke’s first house. He constantly attracts plutonic people, he has a mildly plutonic energy himself and if it’s there, it aspects a ton of his planets which would mean that in his relationships with people of his own generation, he would have a pluto heavy synastry (composite is a different matter). 

The aspects didn’t quite turn out how I wanted but they do make sense in my opinion and he has that grand cross with pluto, moon, mars and mercury which is just perfect. His heart, his head, and his drive are all in conflict and there is quite a bit of intensity, issues related to power and control, ... involved.

Itachi’s planets and house placements:

Ascendant: Virgo 20-21 or 26-27 degrees

Sun: Gemini 17-18 degrees (9th)

Moon: Scorpio 20-21, 21-22, 24-25 or 26-27 degrees (3rd) 

Mercury: Cancer 6-7 or 11-12 degrees (10th)

Venus: Taurus 6-7 or 8-9 degrees (8th)

Mars: Taurus 1-2, 3-4, 14-15, 16-17, 18-19, 24-25 or 28-29 degrees (8th)

Saturn: Taurus 24-25 degrees (9th)

Neptune: Virgo 23-24 degrees (1st)

Pluto: Aquarius 2-3 (I chose this but It still isn’t concrete enough, the last one also works), 5-6, 7-8 or 10-11 degrees (5th)

Again, his sun is canon and very fitting. Sun in the 9th house of philosophy and all that also fits his interests (this doesn't say anything about his competence). 

He is very into that whole “I’ve plan everything” and he talked waaay too much about perfection and all that for him to not have some sort of strong virgo/6th house. His ascendant in virgo puts the house cusps in nice places too. I’ll copy this part from my previous post on the subject. 

I considered virgo rising for him (but I’m not particularly attached to this idea)  since that would put scorpio as his 3rd house (intense relationship with siblings) capricorn (ruled by saturn which is restrictions and stuff) on his 5th (fun, children and all that), gemini on 10th (can easily change their persona and know by the general public as intelligent), taurus on 9th (likes philosophy and all that, tends to have different beliefs from what he was raised with (likely by family) and can be very stubborn about beliefs and once he finds them, is very unlikely to change them) and some other stuff.

Moon in Scorpio because I calculated and given the distance between his birthdate and Sasuke’s (if they are 5 years apart) his moon would either fall in sagittarius or scorpio and honestly, I think scorpio fits him more. 

Mercury in cancer because he’s somewhat verbally non-confrontational (would rather deflect and run away, in his case he does that with lies and that stuff) and passive-aggressive and speaks in a vague way instead of just getting to the point and being clear and concise and he’s good at emotional talk in a sense (although that doesn’t necessarily mean he is comfortable with it).

venus in taurus because when he isn’t busy being genocidal or dishonest, he likes some pretty taurusian things like hanging out at traditional coffee shops and getting some sweets. He’s also aesthetically very close to his root (traditional japanese stuff) in terms of preference and taurus likes the familiar. 

I calculated his mars and saturn sign after deciding Sasuke’s mars and saturn. It does match him in a way though. He has a taurusian feel in a way and he really seems to adore the look of security and stability (even when it’s not really there). Venus and mars in 8th because of his fascination and acceptance of the morbid, death and human nature. Also he has an inclination towards extremism in both his actions and adorations (that isn’t the same as being showy though).

Neptune in first because he obviously would have neptune in first. Those acting skills, a habit of dishonesty, being extremely inconsistent and unknowable, weak constitution, slow and lethargic movements, ... He has one of the worst manifestations of neptune in first in my opinion. And he should have more Than one planet in virgo.

Pluto in aqua in 5th solely because of sasuke and calculations, not because of what it says about him (though I also took synastry into account).

Naruto’s planets and house placements:

Ascendant: Leo 1-2, 3-4 or 5-6 degrees

Sun: Libra 17-18 degrees (3rd)

Moon: Aries 12-13, 13-14, 16-17, 17-18 or 20-21 (9th or 10th depending on house system)  or taurus 24 or 28 (10th)

Mercury:  it’s between virgo (2nd), libra (3rd) and scorpio (4th)

Venus: Libra 23-24 or 26-27 degrees (3rd)

Mars: sag 24-25, 25-26 or 29 degrees (5th)

Saturn: Leo 8-9 degrees (1st)

Neptune: Libra 6-7 or 7-8 degrees (3rd)

Pluto: same as sasuke since pluto is a generational planet and their birthdays aren’t that far apart (7th)

His sun is also canon.

His ascendant in leo makes sense because he was born late at night on the 10th of October and he has that leoish persona. There really isn’t much to say here, he embodies it. He has big movements, flamboyance, an outgoing “sunshine”y demeanour, ego-driven, loves to make everything about himself, ...

Moon in the 10th because his emotional security and self-worth and all that are very tied to what the general public thinks of him and he tries to achieve that through his career. Moon in aries and moon in taurus both fit him and the anime astrology community is also divided on this.

For mercury I have no clue. 

His venus could be in virgo, libra, leo, scorpio or sagittarius. I calculated venus in libra from Sasuke’s venus in cancer and then I looked at the degrees and plenty of them fit Naruto and he does have the power of charm so I just left it at that. I eventually narrowed the degrees a bit and found a range I’m comfortable with (in terms of both aspects and degree interpretations).

I used to think his mars makes harsh aspects to both his moon and pluto but it could be just one of them, in the end it ended up being neither of them. I calculated his mars sign from Sasuke’s mars and sag in the 5th seemed pretty fitting specially since his hobby was pranking people and he is a bit of a trickster, his earlier battles also had some creativity.  I used to think his mars is in taurus but it didn’t work out. And honestly he talks about working hard more than he actually works so mars in the 10th was kind of off either way.

Saturn was also calculated based on Sasuke but saturn in leo works pretty well. He got reprimanded for his “fun” and he has a lot of self-esteem issues and simultaneously has a bloated ego and a pretty low opinion of himself. He was so insecure that he had no problem taking credit for other peoples work so there is that. Saturn conjunct ascendant can cause people to have a hard time expressing their true self, often receiving criticism for the way they present themselves/the way they are, they can also often feel like no one will every truly love/like them (as people).

Pluto in the 7th house is extremely fitting for him, in fact, I would go so far as to say that I can’t imagine it anywhere else. He’s controlling, he’s manipulative, he’s possessive, obsessive, he’s all about taking what he wants/needs from relationships while not giving an iota of care to what the other party wants or needs, he’s stalkerish, ... he manifests pluto in the 7th house in one of the worst possible ways. 

Section Three: degree interpretations

Like the previous section, we will start with Sasuke and make our way to Itachi and then Naruto. 

edit: these need to be updated

Section Four: Synastry and composite

Based on the degrees I used for natals, I drew up a composite chart and a synastry chart for sasuke and itachi as well as for sasuke and naruto but I wont be providing interpretations since that would make this post far too long. Note that some of these aspects might be wrong as not all degrees are certain.

Before we get started let me just clarify the difference between synastry and composite. 

Synastry is conversations between different parts of people. An example would be if my mercury and your moon are in a nice harmonious aspect, I say something in my style of communication based on my thinking process, now you get what I’m saying at an emotional level because you feel the same way, your feeling process and my thinking process are similar, the way you express your emotions and the way I express my thoughts are close, so I get how you feel on a logical level and you get what I think on an emotional level. 

Composite is the overall, combined energy of the relationship. Lets say you have a very rational and to the point way of communicating but then you meet this person and with them, for some reason, as soon as you meet both of you seem to communicate in an emotional, passive-aggressive way (strongly aspected composite mercury in cancer). Or if you have tons of things in common with someone, you communicate in a similar way, you like the same things, but you just can’t seem to think of a single thing to say to them. You meet and your mind goes blank, there should be a world of things to talk about but literally nothing comes to mind, the conversation is dry and an absolute chore and then you look at that composite and there’s a tight saturn (restriction, block) conjunct mercury (communication) and everything makes sense. It also says things like why you got together (composite sun), how people perceive your relationship (composite ascendant), ...

So lets go see how these characters relate to each-other on a cosmic level.

edit: I removed the composite to natals part because they require extremely tight orbs so it’s kind of risky for something so uncertain.

Sasuke-Itachi synastry:

I forgot to erase that sun-sun semi-square (it’s out of orb) so just ignore it. Lots of harmonious saturn could lend itself to commitment and respect, lots of harmonious aspects to sasuke’s venus along with itachi’s sun in his 5th shows how fun and loving this relationship was for him (sasuke). Both their moons are getting lots of close aspects too. Those moon ascendant aspects and quick comfort and easy relating, an immediate emotional connection, Itachi’s mars aspecting Sasuke’s moon, ...

Sasuke-Itachi composite:

So this composite sun (purpose, nature of the relationship) in cancer (family) is perfect. I wonder if this was a coincidence or if Kishi really looked this up. Ascendant in scorpio is pretty nice as well. Plenty of neptune, lots of pluto, ... 

Composite sun in the eight very much paints their relationship, intense, obsessive, transformative and full of death (both metaphorical and literal). Composite moon in the third, communication is important to the health of their relationship and emotional security regarding it, ... There is plenty of stuff to unpack here so I’m not going get into it, specially since we don’t know much for certain.

Sasuke-Naruto synastry:

An interesting point here is that naruto’s moon would be in sasuke’s 4th house of family so that explains why he sees his family in him. Also, like I mentioned, plenty of harsh pluto, harsh mars-pluto giving lots of energy which if directed well, can contribute to good teamwork against outside forces and if not will lead to petty yet emotionally volatile arguments and controlling behaviour.

I put the ascendant opposition aspect there even though it’s out of orb because kishi went out of his way to make them opposites in the way they present/carry themselves and their aesthetic so this aspect would probably exist.

Sasuke-Naruto composite:

There are two extremely important personal planets missing here (jupiter and mercury) so the picture isn’t complete but based on what we have, we can tell quite a bit of the story.

Venus conjunct sun is a very good aspect which means the relationship makes the people involved in it feel good, have fun, ... Sun trine moon and venus trine moon are also great aspects to have so that’s nice. Mars trine saturn could make them more organized and better at acting together in a systematic way. Neptune trine mars could mean that they understand each other’s actions and drive (in a physical/tangible sense, not necessarily the reasons behind them) intuitively.

Sun square mars is similar to my previous point, lots of energy which will at best lead to working effectively together against outside forces and at worst will lead to violence, unhealthy rivalry/arguments and constant irritation. 

Mars-neptune, not seeing the nature of the relationship properly, delusion, illusion, escapism, an unwillingness to see the relationship for what it is, ... neptune-saturn and lack of proper boundaries. 

Ascendant in aries and the rival look, sun in virgo (coworkers, a work relationship), composite sun in the 5th, a fun, dramatic and creative relationship, composite moon in the first, projecting feelings about the relationship all over the place, it just can’t be hidden and the outside world sees you as emotionally tied together, perhaps more so than you actually are unless there are other strong moon aspects to personal planets, ...

One thing that is oddly not here is major pluto aspects, however, if lack of aspects to a planet in a composite chart is similar to a natal chart then it could make that planet’s themes more prominent because the energy has no proper outlet so it pops up everywhere.

Thank you for your time, any input is appreciated :))
