"spicy" takes / unpopular opinions

[astro notes no. 002]

IF IT DON’T APPLY LET IT FLY. everybody’s chart is different, if you have any aspects or placements mentioned in this post that don’t resonate with you, that means the energy didn’t manifest the way that i described due to other influences in your chart (or you being delusional, idk, you decide). also, when i speak on certain signs i'm referring to their archetype and the innate energy they express. just be mindful that there's a variety of ways these energies can manifest from person to person.

disclaimers | masterlist | ask

y’all stay talking about how hard scorpios have it but y’all don’t talk about the struggles capricorns face. especially capricorn moons?? have y’all ever encountered a capricorn moon that wasn’t in therapy or didn’t desperately need it??? they be facing the most insane level of emotional distress and then turn around and pick up more shifts and start studying harder like that shit finna help lmfao

the discourse surrounding 8H synastry is... odd to me. i feel like some people (specifically the tumblr/tiktok girlies) are romanticizing trauma bonding. y’all can talk about how good the sex is all y’all want, but unless you and the person involved have a good amount of self-awareness and are spiritually evolved enough (especially if y'all have your own 8H placements in your own charts), i feel like you’re just setting yourself up to be in a “toxic” relationship with somebody. it could just be my aqua venus talking, but the whole “baring your soul” to someone and developing a possessive/jealous bond with them don't sound fun to me. i would rather perish.

everyone talks about how dramatic your saturn return is but why does no one bring up how traumatic your 12H profection years are? being 23 was literally one of the most unhinged experiences i’ve ever had 

i be tryna advocate for geminis because i know they’re just lil creative mercurial sponges and wanna have enough knowledge to see everything from every side… but why do some of them act like that? and you know what i mean. especially the more “unevolved” gemini placements, they be doing the most insane level of mental acrobatics and be contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian

i have to say this as an 8H moon, i understand what y’all mean when y’all say 8H, scorpio, and plutonian placements usually face a lot of vitriol from others for no reason, but honestly, some of y’all be using that as a justification for being paranoid and manipulative. operating from a place of pain, assuming that everybody is out to get you, and being hyper-vigilant of people’s intentions isn’t the type of behavior anyone should be trying to normalize. let that hurt go pookie <3

i feel like this has been spoken about before but i’ll never understand why water signs are constantly stereotyped as the emotional crybabies of the zodiac but fire signs aren’t? water signs can definitely be sensitive and existential but prominent fire placements will literally lose their mind over the smallest shit and then be cool 10 minutes later… yes i’m looking at you aries

speaking of aries, can we address the way that they’re literally the toddlers of the zodiac and very much so behave like it? idk as a pisces i have a soft spot for them, i love their childlike, carefree spirit, and the way they be throwing tantrums for fun tickles me 

this note doesn’t pertain particularly to signs/placements but astrology in general. i am begging y’all (specifically the people who are newer/beginners to astrology) to use traditional studies as a starting point and to stop taking notes from these tiktoks and tumblr posts. there are astrologers on these platforms who have done the work and studied (love y'all), but there are a plethora who haven’t. i saw a post the other day where somebody said squares/oppositions don’t indicate conflict in a chart and i felt like i was losing my damn mind. i definitely recommend the astrology podcast as a starting point for beginners, chris brennan is amazing and i still find myself re-listening to a lot of his content 

i talked to one of my mutuals the other day about this, but astrology is such an amazing tool, and y’all should use it for so much more than self-validation. y’all do not need to have a certain venus placement to be considered pretty. y'all do not need certain mercury or uranus placements to be considered intelligent/creative. y’all do not have to rely on [insert random asteroid here] to know what your future spouse is gonna look like, when/where y’all are gonna meet, how they’re gonna perceive you, etc. etc. etc. i understand the hype around shit like that is due to social conditioning/constructs, but there are so many more important, relevant things you can learn about yourself through astrology that don’t revolve around "aesthetics"

the girls are gonna hate me for this one, but i don’t understand the hype around lilith. and i say this as someone with a tight sextile between my sun and BML. there’s three versions of it, two of which don’t even technically exist, and then there’s a mean/true version that affects the accuracy. if anyone has more knowledge than me on the subject feel free to give me your input, because i feel like the insane amount of attention lilith gets has to do more with the whole “dark feminine archetype” trend that the tiktok/tumblr girlies love and less to do with its relevance from an astrology/astronomical lens (i feel this way about most asteroids honestly, but we’ll wake up that tea another time)

i don’t wanna get dragged so imma end this here, as always let me know if y’all have any aspects/placements mentioned and tell me how they manifest in your life/personality! and if you have any insight feel free to let me know as well. and don’t be messy. you will be blocked expeditiously. <3

I don't know much of Dragonball Super so pardon me if I got things wrong, so... I assume Zamasu and Goku's Black plan failed(?), so what are they going to do with the CPUs :D

More or less. Black's attempt to kill them failed when Adult Neptune used her dimension hopping Nepnote to yoink the CPU's away. But ended up making them arrive at Zamasu's crafted pocket of reality. For now, until Chronoa can figure out a way to get them their home back, they're stuck under his care.

But, Whis and Vados are there to support them. As well as train them, because they're gonna need it if Black decides to take another swing at 'em.

@akujxki liked for a Big Neptune starter!

“ - Yeah, so anyways, I really gotta find that book. Kinda super extremely important. ” Perhaps it was something of karmic retribution against the tome fairy in the Nepnote that it wound up flying out of her hands as she was dropped from a reasonable distance to the ground instead of just being set on the ground... but that didn’t change that Neptune needed it. She couldn’t exactly go anywhere without Croire’s interdimensional teleportation capabilities. “ Could ya help a Nep out? Can’t really get home without it. ”

songs that give the same energy as these aspects/placements

[astro notes no. 008]

hey y'all! i'm sure this has probably been done before, but i thought it'd be fun to do a post where i can talk about music and astrology bc i'm very much so a nerd when it comes to both of those topics :) (i'm dipping my toes into synastry/composite placements in this post, and i'm still learning about those subjects so any of these notes sound like surface-level baby shit, that's why, i apologize in advance lmao)

also, if it don't apply let it fly, we all have different charts and so therefore aspects and placements will manifest differently for all of us.

disclaimers | masterlist | ask

 ༊*·˚ ˗ venus in the 12H | scorpio / cancer venus: unknown / nth — hozier

you called me angel for the first time my heart leapt from me you smile now, i can see its pieces still stuck in your teeth and what's left of it, i listen to it tick every tedious beat going unknown as any angel to me do you know, i could break beneath the weight of the goodness, love, i still carry for you? that i'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you?

i feel like it's worth mentioning that hozier has venus in aquarius in his 12H, which makes so much sense when you listen to his music. these placements are, i feel, indicative of loving extremely hard, even to your own detriment. they tend to crave deep, nurturing, spiritual connections in love. and although they might have the capacity to understand people on a deeper level, rarely is that level of understanding reciprocated to them in love (especially the venus 12th housers), which can result in this feeling of being "unknown". y'all's suffering usually results in amazing art though, which can be an upside depending on how you look at it lmao

༊*·˚ ˗ moon in the 8H | moon square / opposite pluto or saturn: good days — SZA

said i'm not tryna be a nuisance, it's just urgent tryna make sense of loose change got me a war in my mind gotta let go of weight, can't keep what's holding me choose to watch while the world break up and fall on me all the while, i'll await my armored fate with a smile still wanna try, still believe in good days

as an 8H moon native i literally cannot listen to this song without crying lmfao. i feel like there’s so much inner emotional turmoil that people with these placements experience, and these experiences can definitely harden somebody into the type of person who’s emotionally avoidant and seeks to escape through their work or self-destructive habits. or, they become someone who, despite of what they’ve been through, utilize their understanding of the “darker” side of life to help others, and at least attempt to seek out things that bring them joy recognize that you don't have to view life through the lens of the fucked up shit you've been through.

༊*·˚ ˗ venus in the 9H / taurus ruling over the 9H: bliss abroad — masego ft. sheléa

i'm a boss, i know you like that spend it all, and make it all back see the sea view right from the cockpit just a preview to one of god's gifts i love the way we have no limitations, every night a celebration you take me there you exceed my expectation, beyond imagination

this is such a cute placement to have, both in natal and synastry. in the natal chart, it can indicate being someone who finds pleasure in traveling and learning about cultures that are vastly different than yours, and even finding spiritual fulfillment through doing so. it also shows being someone who enjoys traveling and exploring uncharted territory with their partner (or finding love in a different country), as well as feeling the most fulfilled in a relationship with someone who you feel "enlightens" you and brings newfound wisdom to your day to day life. these natives could also end up attaining wealth through these endeavors as well.

༊*·˚ ˗ sun trine or sextile black moon lilith | mars conjunct uranus | venus aspecting mars / pluto (synastry): stroke — banks

it’s always in my head everything is always about you tell me you’re a book that i misread you just wanna tell me what to do you want me, you want me want me to stroke your ego beg for it, die for it i got the touch placebo

i like to refer to aspects and placements like these as the "you not finna tell me what the fuck to do" indicators. with the natal aspects, these are typically the type of people who like to push against the boundaries just to see how far they can go, and enjoy ruffling other peoples' feathers for fun. they're also visionaries, and tend to prioritize their individuality above all else and enjoy encouraging others to feel empowered as well. on the other hand, the synastry aspects can indicate a strong level of physical attraction and sexual compatibility, when they're afflicted it can very much so lead to power struggles, with mars/pluto being the one attempting to assert some form of dominance or control over venus. how that ends up playing out depends on the context of the individual natal charts of those involved, personally i'd rather eat a denim jacket than let somebody (especially a man) tell me what to do, but i digress.

༊*·˚ ˗ moon / mercury in 3H (synastry) | sun in pisces / taurus (composite): are you even real? — james blake

all i can do is trust in her late nights, i can see the lust in her acid rain is a first for her skies open up, share a cup with her cracking seals, guilty no appeal trip down the hill, strawberry fields are you even real? she said, "tell me how you feel" are you even real?

3H synastry is so sweet and so underrated, probably because it's not a house that people typically look at for an indication of "romance", but i feel like communication is an integral part of relationships that (clearly) nobody really takes into account. moon and mercury in the 3H can be indicative of giving/receiving words of affirmation with someone, as well as an ease in not only expressing your emotions to someone but having a very strong intellectual connection to them. it could also be indicative of having a strong bond with their siblings or immediate family as well. i also mentioned sun in pisces and taurus in the composite chart because the production of this song is so ethereal, and the lyrics are very domestic in a sense? i feel like it's representative of the spiritual connection and compassion that pisces brings, alongside the pleasure and security found in building a home with the person you love.

༊*·˚ ˗ pisces moon / mercury: count me out — kendrick lamar

i care too much, wanna share too much in my head too much, i shut down too i ain't there too much, i'm a complex soul they layered me up, then broke me down and moralities dust, i lack in trust

pisces moons are truly god's strongest soldiers lmfao. i spoke on this in a previous post and i'll reiterate it again because it's so real, but pisces is the only water sign without "armor", and therefore the water sign that tends to get hurt the most. and i'm speaking in terms of the archetype and not necessarily every person with prominent pisces placements when i say this (pls do not come up under this post talking about a pisces that hurt your feelings, we do not care), but pisces are very sensitive and kind-hearted by nature, and with the moon in pisces that can very easily manifest as becoming "captain save a hoe" and trying to help and fix everyone around you, even to your own detriment. in regard to having mercury in pisces, i feel like the upside is having a very romanticized way of speech and a general "poetic" ideological approach to life, and the downside is getting lost in your thoughts, as well as being misrepresented or not clearly understood in communication/connection to others, and therefore "shutting down" and opting not to speak at all.

༊*·˚ ˗ sun / venus trine or sextile neptune (natal or synastry): two weeks — fka twigs

i'll put you first, just close your eyes and dream about it higher than a motherfucker, dreaming of you as my lover i'll quench your thirst, just chase the high and stop your doubting flying like a streamer, thinking of new ways to do each other

i'm not gonna hold you, i feel like this is the perfect example of a song fully encapsulating what an aspect feels like. i feel like these aspects can make someone very ethereal, they may have a tendency to come off as impersonal or "out of reach" to those around them, and are typically very intuitive and spiritually-inclined. in synastry, this could make someone view their partner through a dream-like lens. aside from neptune's malefic characteristics (which typically show up more with conjunctions or challenging aspects) it's energy paired with the sun and venus can make a relationship feel like a fairy-tale in a sense. they may have a telepathic connection with one another, visit each other or communicate through the astral realm, and their intimacy can feel like a very spiritual experience for both parties.

as always, if you have any of the aspects or placements mentioned let me know how it manifests in your own life! and if you have any songs that you feel like are representative of any placements feel free to drop them below, i'm always looking for new music to listen to!

[content warning: abuse, addiction, self-harm/suicide. nothing detailed or explicit, just a warning for those who want to avoid these topics.]

aquarius placements are not unemotional sociopaths and honestly this is such a goofy ass take. aquarius’ archetype literally centers around their need to advance society and wanting to help those around them as a means to do so. can their saturnian influence make them come off as cold in their approach sometimes? sure. but the whole “aquarius doesn’t have emotions and doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings” doesn’t make any type of sense considering the fact that aquarius craves connection with others in order to feel fulfilled

speaking of saturnian influence, y’all need to check up on your saturnian friends, especially if you’re below the age of 30. people tend to bring up how destructive and chaotic pluto is and the effect it can have on you if it’s tightly aspecting your personal planets, but i feel like people overlook the way that saturnian energy literally starts chipping away at you the moment you pop out the coochie. a lot of saturnians will consciously put too much on their plate because they don’t know how to function without overworking themselves, or, they’re distracting themselves from heavy emotions that they don’t want to feel. the idea of being alone with their thoughts is the most terrifying thing to them, and they would definitely benefit from having people around them that can slow them down and help them relax

to any parents (or people who work with children), please be gentle with your water sign babies. especially the scorpios and pisces. i feel like we don’t give children enough credit for how intelligent they actually are, and when it comes to water sign children i promise you, they know exactly what the fuck is going on. they know that you’re stressed out, they can recognize the energy in the room, and they’re internalizing all of your emotions and can be more prone to feeling overstimulated because of it. be patient with them, and as a former water sign baby myself, give them a hug for me <3

and since we’re giving out hugs, i gotta give a virtual one to my pisces and virgo placements. pisces and virgo are both signs of service, and typically opt to suffer in silence for the sake of those around them. i feel like pisces is the “worst” of the two, as pisces struggles with boundaries, and even when we’re being mistreated or abused by others we can literally convince ourselves that that’s actually not the case and that everything’s fine. pisces is also the only water sign that doesn’t have “armor” (cancer [the crab] has its shell, and scorpio [the scorpion] has its exoskeleton, claws, and stinger), which results in us getting hurt a lot. it’s typically why some pisces placements are prone to escapist tendencies, addiction, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. but pisces is the oldest of the zodiac, and there’s so much wisdom and spiritual knowledge that we unlock once we grow and evolve enough to “swim away” from the shit that doesn’t serve us

and i bring this up because i feel like pisces is constantly coded as “delusional” or “hyper-emotional”, and i know y’all love pointing out how “judgemental” and “nitpicky” virgo is. and while those stereotypes can be true depending on the person, i feel like the amount of energy pisces and virgo put into helping other people is constantly overshadowed by whatever “flaws” they may have. there was a tweet i read that said “maybe the final stage in your healing journey is finally telling people to fuck off”, that’s very much so the advice i’d give to pisces and virgo. your worth is not intrinsically linked to how much pain you can withstand or how much abuse you can tolerate from people who claim to love you. you deserve so much more and i promise there’s something bigger and better waiting for you on the other side of what it is that you’re currently settling for

i feel like the importance of 12H, neptune, water sign placements can often get overlooked in comparison to more practical, “realistic” planetary/sign placements. it’s definitely important to have balanced, grounded energy in your chart alongside these types of placements, but i feel like people underestimate how powerful it is to have spiritual and creative placements as well. and while these can be difficult aspects to master, i feel like once you do get to a point where you’ve done the work it can not only make you an incredible artist, but an extremely compassionate, empathetic healer. people with these placements tend to go through a lot, and experience an insane amount of turmoil. but no matter how tired you are, and no matter how misunderstood or lost you may feel, you’re here to serve a greater purpose and your craft is sacred. you have tools at your disposal that it takes people years upon years to develop, and it’s not something that should be taken for granted

i'll most likely end up doing a part two to this, but that's all i've got for now. as always, if anyone has any of the placements/aspects mentioned in this post i'd love to hear how they manifest in your life, and if you have any input in general feel free to let me know!

[the astrology of megan thee stallion] - "tryin' hard to find a flaw, but you still watchin'"

[astro notes no. 001]

hey y'all! i'm finally getting around to doing some astro notes. in this post we'll be going through some signficant aspects/placements in megan's chart. i've noticed a lot of astro content on here centers for and around white cis women, and quite frankly i'm over it. if i see one more gif of megan fox, angelina jolie, or [insert random white woman here] i'm going to lose my damn mind. so here's some seasoning and flavor for the girls!

disclaimers | masterlist | ask

– "body bangin', i ain't have to let the doctor cut me"

taurus ascendant (chart ruler: venus in capricorn)

being a taurus rising, megan’s appearance, and approach to life, may be very venusian in nature. those with prominent taurean energy in their chart are ruled by their senses and tend to be drawn to life's finest luxuries

these are definitely the type of people to indulge in fine dining, travel to exotic countries or big cities, drink the finest wine and champagne, wear high-end fashion etc., they may also prioritize self care and could be the types that keep up with their skincare, always smell good, and keep their hair and nails done at all times (this could also manifest in the opposite way as taurean energy can be “lazy” at times, but we know with meg that this isn’t the case)

physically, they can be on the curvier or more muscular side, and tend to have darker hair, eyes, and skin, i've also noticed taureans tend to have prominent noses and more round/softer features

they prioritize their comfort and stability over everything, and enjoy being surrounded by people that make them feel safe and secure

their homes tend to be their sanctuaries, and they may want their surroundings to be comfy and “aesthetically pleasing” 

meg’s ascendant is also trine her venus (1°04’), which physically adds to her sultry sex appeal, and also gives her that regal, “vintage beauty” look

asc trine ven. can also influence one’s sociability and popularity, despite whatever insecurities they may have, people tend to be able to see the good in these natives, and recognize their humble, loving spirit, they typically make friends and fall in love very easily

on the other hand, asc. trine ven. can also make them a target for vitriol and biased demonization from others who feel “attacked” by their empowerment and strength

moon in leo / mars in leo in the 4H

this can ignite someone with a hot, fiery confidence, these natives typically have a creative outlet they’re passionate about that they can express this energy through, and feel comfortable being the center of attention and enjoy entertaining their friends and family

they can be oblivious at times, and act too quickly on emotions regardless on the impact it will have - it may be more important for them to “get something off their chest” instead of having tact or being strategic

they may be extremely competitive, and refuse to let obstacles to get in their way, they’re extremely determined and rarely do they accept defeat

they can be prone to stubbornness in some cases, and more often than not, can struggle with asking for help, they tend to feel as though they have to fight their battles alone and typically don’t expect others to advocate for them

similar to aries, they tend to wear their hearts on their sleeve when it comes to their feelings, a trait those around them can grow to appreciate and love them for over time

they're usually less likely to get married and instead prioritize their foundation first and foremost, they're extremely dedicated to the security of safety of the home and life they build for themselves

regardless, they’re extremely loyal and generous to their partners, and take great pride not only in their relationships, but in everything they pursue and put out into the world as well

ruler of the ascendant (venus) in the 9H

this can manifest as being called to expand one's horizons, both intellectually and culturally. megan’s identity and life path could potentially center around traveling, experiencing different cultures, and pursuing higher academic learning

this aspect can explain megan's interests in completing college even after becoming famous, and pursuing philanthropic endeavors (i.e. the Pete & Thomas Foundation, badbitcheshavebaddaystoo.com, etc.)

there may also be a strong inclination towards religion or spirituality, and a natural understanding of certain philosophies and recognizing the role that they play within the their lives 

they can have a natural inclination towards being hopeful and optimistic, and may bode well as teachers, mentors, or motivational speakers

with venus’ influence, they may find the most peace and harmony in living abroad and hearing the lived experiences from people of different ethnicities and cultures

this is can also manifest as being attracted to people of foreign cultures, or feeling the most fulfilled in relationships with a partner that they can connect with on a cerebral level, and feel as though their love has a “higher purpose” to serve in their lives

– “breaking down and i had the whole world watching, but the worst part is really who watched me? every night i cried, i almost died and nobody close tried to stop me”

sun square pluto (3°58’) / moon square pluto (1°33’)

these aspects can be indicative of feeling like one always needs to be in control of every situation they’re in, and of those around them

at it's worst, this can manifest as stubbornness or manipulative behavior from the native. they may struggle with constantly feeling on edge, or operating on offense, as they’re inclined to believe everyone is out to get them

these are also aspects that can manifest in extreme cases as parental loss, as the sun represents the father and the moon represents the mother. in megan’s case, her father passed away when she was young, and her mother, Holly, passed away in 2019

moon square pluto can also be indicative of addiction and escapism in some cases, in the context of megan’s life, she found herself dependent on alcohol and partying for a period of time after her mother’s passing

rebirth is not only a constant for these natives, but a necessity, as these periods of metamorphosis, no matter how painful, show them the parts of themselves that they need to let go and evolve beyond. they may encounter death, both literally and metaphorically, more often than the average person, and typically benefit from prioritizing self care in their routines, as well as therapy and counseling

they have the opportunity to channel the intense energy of these aspects into their careers, and typically benefit greatly from doing so, as this grants them an extremely ambitious, competitive nature that sees them into positions of power and authority

– “i ain’t sayin’ i do voodoo but i got the magic, any time they go against me, shit gon’ end up tragic”

jupiter in the 8H

with this aspect, the native may find abundance in inheritance or financially benefit from working with business partners, and overall encounter a great amount of wealth granted to them by other people

this can also indicate someone with an “insatiable” sexual appetite, or a hyperactive libido

they may be drawn to exploring and expanding their understanding of the more “taboo” sides to life, or enjoy exploring the subconscious sides of both themselves and those around them, they would benefit from tapping into their own spirituality and practicing meditation

this can also imply longevity in regards to their life span, and in more extreme cases, can indicate being “saved” from near-death experiences, in the context of megan’s life, she was shot by a man who was belligerent drunk, and luckily only ended up with bullet fragments in her feet

descendant in scorpio / pluto in the 7H

with these placements, these natives may find themselves drawn to people who stimulate them on a subconscious level, and may crave a deeper, more spiritual connection with those around them

this can also manifest as attracting people into their lives that they encounter power struggles with, they may find themselves either behaving possessively or having people behave this way towards them

their relationships may be prone to trust issues and general toxicity (or abuse in extreme cases), they should be wary of partners (and friends) who exhibit controlling, jealous tendencies towards them, and should avoid partaking in this type of behavior themselves 

saturn in pisces in the 11H

while pisces can ease the restrictive nature of saturn, this can also manifest as a general lack of boundaries, and leads to a lifelong lesson of instilling their own boundaries and remaining cognizant and receptive to the boundaries and feelings of those around them

this can also indicate a compassionate, spiritual nature, and it may take time and effort to find practical ways to express their kindness in a way that is rewarding for both them and others

with saturn in pisces placed in the 11H, this can indicate challenges in relation to their inner circle and network. these natives could suffer from trust issues, and are typically desperate for a deep connection to others, all the while feeling isolated and misunderstood more often than not by the people they surround themselves with

we can see this manifest in megan’s life in terms of the company she’s kept over the years, we’ve seen her fall out with long-term friends and be betrayed in extremely traumatic ways, which is clearly indicative of this placement. she recently went through her saturn return, and it does seem like (from the outside looking in) she’s prioritizing her boundaries and recognizing that not everyone is her friend or has her best interest at heart, something that her mother desperately wanted her to understand before she passed away

on the bright side, saturn aspects become an area of expertise for those who eventually internalize the lesson that saturn is instilling in them, in the context of saturn in pisces, this can birth long-term, emotionally fulfilling friendships and relationships with those around them in the long run, these natives can become extremely loyal to their loved ones and eventually find friends that extend the same level of love and trust to them 

as always if anyone has any of the aspects/placements i'd love to hear how it manifests in your own life and personality! feel free to reach out with any questions as well.

[hausofneptune]

aspects/placements i love (and hate!) in my chart pt. 1

[astro notes no. 003]

hey y’all! i felt like going through some of my personal aspects/placements and describing the “positive” and “negative” ways they’ve manifested in my life, so here we are. this ended up being longer than i thought it would, so i'll end up doing a part two since i really enjoyed making this!

disclaimers | masterlist | ask

venus conj. neptune in aquarius (1°03’) in the 1H

this is one of my favorite placements. i feel like this + my pisces sun can make me appear to others as “ethereal” at times, but if i’m keeping it a buck, it also makes me extremely evasive. i have a good amount of aquarius influence in my chart as well, so all of this combined definitely makes me feel like i have to put in effort to not come off as too impersonal, especially towards my loved ones. 

having neptune in my 1H also makes me feel like people perceive me to be someone that i’m not. like even my close friends and family, i don’t feel like anyone actually understands who i am, and i don’t think i’ve ever had a relationship (platonic, romantic, or familial) where i felt like i was seen for who i actually am, or where i was able to connect to somebody on a deeper, spiritual level. i can also over-romanticize people and situations at times, but i’ve grown out of this habit… for the most part.

i’ve always been an extremely creative/artistic person. i’ve been drawing, painting, writing, and singing since i was a kid, and i even sell my artwork now as an adult. i’m extremely imaginative, but i do have to be careful to not get too in my head and forget to participate in reality, if that makes sense. i’ve also had issues with dissociation and memory loss throughout my life. i feel like my lived experience has more to do with that, but i can see how the Neptunian influence in my chart could play a role in it as well.

venus opposite north node in the 7H (1°40’)

there are some placements that convince me that the universe was tryna be funny when it made my birth chart. this is one of them. i have so many things in my chart that can make it challenging at times to form meaningful, trustful relationships with other people, and it’s interesting to me the fact that my spiritual growth is something that’s supposed to be found… through my relationships with other people. i try not to victimize myself too much and look at things from an objective lens, but i would be lying if i said it didn’t feel like people find it convenient to have me in their lives only when i allow them to view me in a way that makes them feel the most comfortable.

like i mentioned, i can be very avoidant, it’s something i’m working on. but i know that it’s possible for me to have fulfilling connections with other people, and obviously with this placement it’s something i need to work through my aversion to, seeing as my self-development and spiritual growth is something that’s extremely important to me and deep down i do want to want to experience having meaningful, healthy relationships. 

sun sextile lilith (within 3.0°) in the 11H / chiron in the 11H

let me tell you, most of the people i’ve been friends with over the years, regardless of gender, hypersexualize the fuck out of me. especially the men i’ve been friends with, majority of them had feelings for me that i never reciprocated. i was actually friends with a girl in high school who’s moon fell in my 8H, and in hindsight she had a very unhinged, borderline obsession with me. she would speak to me, and get mad at me, as if we were in a relationship together, and did not understand any type of boundaries that you’re supposed to have with someone you’re friends with. i don’t hold it against her now as an adult, but we definitely don’t speak to each other anymore.

i’ve also encountered issues in regards to the relationships i've with women, mainly when i was younger though, the women i’m acquainted with now i have healthy, normal friendships with (thank god). but i’ve had friendships with girls where they secretly didn’t like me, they were secretly attracted to me, or both. and i don't mean this in a weird, misogynistic, "pick me i'm different!" type of way at all, this is just a pattern i picked up on with some of the women i've met throughout my life.

in regards to having chiron in my 11H, my sore spot is most definitely my friendships. on top of feeling misunderstood and objectified in the friendships i’ve had, i’ve also experienced trauma at the hands of people i thought were my friends. and i always do my best to exercise being mindful and self-aware, and i’m definitely not on some “i’ve always been the perfect friend and people hurt me regardless, boo-hoo, woe-is-me” type shit, because i’ve definitely hurt people in my lifetime. but in terms of how these placements have manifested, i’ve always encountered difficulty in connecting to others, and i’m just now getting to a point where i feel comfortable enough to even attempt to try making new friends again. 

and this is what i mean when i say: astrology is a tool that you can use for shit that is more important than your appearance and future partner! it wasn’t until my 12H profection year when i started studying traditional astrology and learned how to read charts, that i actually began to understand myself on a deeper level and gained the confidence to end friendships that no longer served me and made new ones that actually do. 

chiron in my 11H also makes me feel inclined to take on a “therapist” role in my friendships, something that can be good or bad depending on whether the boundaries are there or not. i tend to attract people who like to trauma dump on me (that’s my moon in the 8H influence too), and i have to actively put boundaries in place and make sure people around me understand that i have to be in the right mindset to hold space for them. there aren’t a lot of pisces sun stereotypes that i can relate to, but being an emotional sponge is definitely one that i can. unfortunately. 

moon and ceres in virgo in the 8H 

LMAOOO this one might be a little heavy. i apologize in advance. feel free to skip this one if you don’t want to hear about parental/maternal loss or my mommy issues <3

my relationship with my mom is without a doubt where a lot of my emotional avoidance comes from. that plus my moon being in the 8H makes me very guarded when it comes to emotional vulnerability, even with the people i’m closest to. without telling a bunch of strangers on the internet too much of my business, here are the sparknotes:

my home life growing up (and to this day lowkey) never felt stable

it never felt like i could feel my emotions without them “consuming” me, this was mainly an issue in my youth, i was around 12-years-old when i started going to therapy and taking antidepressants  

my mom battled a chronic disease her entire life and passed away when i was a teenager 

i’ve always craved to have deep, spiritual connections with people, and ever since i was a kid i’ve been extremely intuitive and had the ability to read a room and everyone in it without anyone having to speak, but i typically attract people who are either emotionally unavailable, or emotionally unstable in some way, probably because i come off as “closed off” on the surface. 

in terms of my relationship with my mom, i love her but i could never be vulnerable with her about a damn thing, like i never really felt “heard” by her. she was a taurus sun, scorpio moon, with an aries stellium, as soon as she had her mind made up about something it didn’t really matter how i felt (pluto also falls in my 10H, and i definitely viewed her as an “authority figure” more than a mother at times). y’all remember this scene from lady bird where her mom tells her she wants her to “be the best version of herself she can be” and she asks “what if this is the best version?” - it was very much so that.

and i don’t want to give the impression that my mom didn’t love me because she definitely did. i think it was just a matter of what a lot of us eventually come to understand about our parents; that they’re products of the environments and the people they were raised by. and in my mom’s case, she did her best with the cards she was dealt and showed up the best way she could. it doesn’t make my feelings any less important, but it helps to maintain the balance between recognizing her humanity, and also validating my own frustration and trauma regarding our relationship. 

venus conjunct ascendant in aquarius (2°40’)

i didn't wanna end this post on a depressing ass note so i'm adding this last aspect lmfao. honestly i struggle with some of the venusian energy in my chart because i honestly never really felt "pretty" growing up. it might be neptune in my 1H that effects my self image, because it wasn't until my 20s that i actually started to genuinely recognize my beauty. i feel like growing up i only viewed my beauty through the lens of the "male gaze" (it didn't help that i felt objectified from the boys around me), or through the lens of euro-centric/white beauty standards, and in adulthood i'm finally approaching the way that i view myself from my perspective.

i do notice that i attract people very easily, both in a friendly and romantic way. i know this aspect has to do a lot with love and romance, but honestly, i'm not too concerned about being in a relationship at this point in my life (with the way the economy is set up i think we all got bigger fish to fry rn but that's neither here nor there-), but like i mentioned i've always been an artist at heart and the art that i create plays a really big role in my identity. i've always found it easier to express myself through my paintings or my writing rather than my words.

aesthetics and comfortability are pretty big for me too, more so now in my 20s. this aspect has a lot to do with sociability and being inclined to uplift and help others, and i can relate to the latter but when it comes to other aspects in my chart i do struggle with being "outgoing" and coming across friendly, but we'll get to that in part two.

as always, if y'all have any of the aspects/placements mentioned in this post let me know how they manifest in your life and personality, and if you have any insight or questions in general feel free to reach out!

 ༊*·˚ ˗ pluto in the 1H / aspecting ascendant | sun in the 8H / 12H: hidden place — björk

there lies my passion, hidden there lies my love i'll hide it under a blanket lull it to sleep i'll keep it in a hidden place

pluto, alongside the 8H and 12H, are representative of transformative experiences that take place on a unconscious/subconscious level. natives with pluto in the 1H, or with pluto aspecting their ascendant live lives marked by rebirth. you'll usually see these natives characterized as being "mysterious", which isn't something i want to overly romanticize, because people with these aspects tend to experience a lot of turmoil in life which is what makes them more inclined to keep certain parts of themselves hidden.

there are differences between having sun in the 8H vs. the 12H, the main being that the sun in the 8H entails transformative experiences related to one's identity surrounding themes of power and control, while sun in the 12H entails experiences related to the ego surrounding transcendence and releasing control. the similarity between the two is the reserved, introspective nature that they share, as well as the metamorphic process of "letting go" that takes place internally, concealed from the world and those around them.

 ༊*·˚ ˗ moon square mercury | afflicted/debilitated mercury | saturn in the 3H: my body is a cage — arcade fire

though my language is dead still the shapes fill my head i'm living in an age whose name i don't know though the fear keeps me moving still my heart beats so slow my body is a cage that keeps me from dancing with the one i love but my mind holds the key

these aspects and placements can indicate a lack of confidence in one's intelligence and self-expression, as well as conflict between the heart and the head. with the moon square mercury, this lack of confidence can stem from one's childhood or from the relationship to the mother/maternal figure. it can result in having a hyper-analytical emotional nature and overthinking one's feelings, or potentially becoming overly pragmatic and unable to process emotions at all. this can also affect the native's communication style, and while they may be earnest in their efforts, they can come off as too impersonal or even heartless at times.

this can manifest in the opposite way as well, where the native displays hyper-emotional behavior, and operates from a place of pain or trauma in situations where they should be relying more so on logic. as a saturn in the 3H native, this placement can also show up as social anxiety and difficulty surrounding communication and learning during early education. on the bright side, with age and growth these aspects/placements can become things that benefit the native. eventually they can grow into skilled communicators, and even thrive in more artistic fields that allow them the space to express their creativity, as it eventually becomes their best tool to use to connect with others.

 ༊*·˚ ˗ cardinal signs in big 6 | sun, jupiter, or mars in the 1H: phenomenal — janelle monáe ft. doechii

i'm looking at a thousand versions of myself and we're all fine as fuck say it to my face bitch, say it to my face!

i want to note that i'm referring more so to the energy that these aspects/placements have in relation to this song, not necessarily appearance. people who have prominent cardinal placements (aries, cancer, libra, capricorn) are trendsetters, and have a very ambitious nature about them. people with these placements can be very assertive and domineering (potentially even self-centered when it comes to the more underdeveloped placements) and are the people you want to look to when it comes to accomplishing goals and getting shit done.

those with sun, jupiter, and mars in the 1H typically have a "bright aura" and innately attract others towards them. while they may have a tendency to over-exaggerate and underperform at times, their extremely charismatic and jovial nature tends to make up for it. they may encounter people who are envious of them or intimidated by their self-assured confidence, but regardless, these natives are natural born leaders who more often than not will find themselves called into positions of authority. they have a good amount of willpower accompanied by competitive spirits, and won't back down from a challenge or let the obstacles or people in their way stop them from achieving what it is they desire.

 ༊*·˚ ˗ moon square / opposite neptune or jupiter (synastry): julia — sza

dying of daydreams in your bedroom waiting so long, said you'd be here soon how could you forget that i'm the one who forgot all your mistakes and dirty drawers you know i care for you when hell over earth came i stood for you will you stand for me?

in synastry, moon square/opposite neptune has the capacity to manifest as a deep, soulful connection, where the relationship almost feels like a "fairy-tale" of sorts. while this could be gratifying at times, it can also show up as an inability for either partner to view the other for the person that they actually are, instead of the romanticized version of them they have in their head. conflicting aspects between the moon and neptune can lead to a codependent nature within a relationship, where flaws and shortcomings are overlooked for the sake of maintaining this dream-like connection. partners who have this aspect in a synastry chart must put effort into remaining grounded in their relationship, and the wherewithal to recognize and work on their escapist tendencies.

while the square/opposition between the moon and jupiter can show up in more beneficial ways as jupiter is a benefic planet, they still hold the capacity to manifest as the same impractical habitual patterns as the moon/neptune challenging aspects. this may indicate a relationship where there's an inability to relate to one another morally, which results in one or both partners (typically the moon) attempting to change the other into someone they're not. this can also result in emotional turmoil, and overindulging in some way shape or form as a means to cope with their inability to see eye to eye. with this aspect, both partners need to work towards finding value in what they can learn from the differences in their perspectives.

༊*·˚ ˗ ceres conjunct moon or mars | nocturnal signs in big 6: mary magdalene — fka twigs

a woman's hands so dark and provocative a nurturing breath that could stroke your divine confidence a woman's war unoccupied history true nature won't search to destroy if it doesn't make sense

those with ceres conjunct moon tend to have an emotional identity that centers around protecting others and maintaining a sense of security in relation to their domestic lives. this aspect can be very "motherly" in nature, and in regards to this song, this type of energy typically gets overlooked as passive or submissive, when in reality it's actually very assertive and forceful, especially ceres conjunct mars. these natives can be extremely passionate, and driven to nourish and protect their loved ones, as well as defend their homes. albeit, they may go overboard and behave too intensely at times, but those around them tend to understand their true intentions regardless, and recognize the native as being a fearless, driven provider.

i also bring up having nocturnal signs (taurus, cancer, virgo, scorpio, capricorn, pisces) in the big 6, specifically for those who have night charts, because these are typically the type of placements that make for a introspective and intuitive nature. it also grants them with a high level of emotional intelligence, something that isn't necessarily deemed important in our society (i wonder why!), but is a characteristic that's indicative of strength and agility regardless.

༊*·˚ ˗ sun aspecting saturn or pluto (synastry) | cancer / libra / pisces in the 5H: bedroom hymns — florence and the machine

spilt milk tears, i did this for you spilling all over the idle, the black and the blue the sweetest submission, drinking it in the wine, the women, and the bedroom hymns 'cause this is his body, this is his love such selfish prayers and i can't get enough

sun aspecting saturn or pluto in synastry is indicative of a karmic connection, and is usually representative of a dynamic defined by themes of power and control. with sun/saturn, there can be a tendency for the saturn person to want to repress the sun's growth and expression. although, with the evolved version of these aspects, the saturn person would make room for fun and play, all the while retaining their authoritative nature, a characteristic the sun person finds themselves attracted to. the sun/pluto aspects can manifest similarly, the main difference being saturn's fixation on discipline vs. pluto's fixation on control. the sun person will be pluto's object of desire, and with the healthy, evolved version of these aspects, pluto's domineering energy is something that the sun person is drawn towards, and their relationship is marked by the deep, subconscious connection the two have with one another.

in regards to cancer, libra, or pisces in the 5H, these placements are very much so indicative of the dom/sub dynamic of this song lmao. this can also extend to having mars in these signs, as they tend to be more submissive in relation to sex (you could argue pisces is more verse, though, as piscean energy is mutable and therefore down with whatever). these placements are usually the type who aim to please and put the needs of their partners first. in regards to each sign, cancer 5H natives usually require an emotional connection to their sexual partners to feel fulfilled, while libra typically need to feel mentally (and visually) stimulated by their partner to feel satisfied, and pisces are most satisfied when their connection to their partner feels transcendent and vulnerable.

༊*·˚ ˗ ruler of the 1H in the 8H / 10H / 12H | saturn chart ruler / saturn dominant: january 28th — j. cole

just to share my life on the stage in front of strangers who know a nigga far too well, and that's the danger know me better than i know myself i rip a page out my notebook in anger and let these thoughts linger, singing don't give 'em too much you don't let 'em take control it's one thing you do don't let 'em taint your soul

having the ruler of the 1H in the 8th, 10th, and 12th houses is indicative of having an identity that is more often than not mischaracterized by those around you. these are placements that can make the native come off as "bigger than life" in some cases, whether they like it or not, as they typically have an energy about them that draws people in. while this isn't necessarily bad, it can invite in people who may misunderstand the true nature of the native, or even project their own feelings of resentment onto them and willfully. specifically, ruler of the 1H in the 8H / 12H individuals tend to be very reserved and are usually able to recognize people's true intentions, and as a result are turned off by shallow, superficial behavior.

those with ruler of the 1H in the 10H, as well as those who have prominent saturn in their chart, tend to excel in leadership roles, as they typically carry themselves with an air of authority. these are typically the type of people who resent being in positions where they have to answer to others, and fear feeling controlled by other people. specifically in relation to having saturn as the chart ruler, or a saturn dominant chart, these natives have to work harder than the average person, and may experience turmoil in their childhoods, in order to get to where they want to be in life. as a result, they will avoid being put in positions where they feel powerless at all costs, and prioritize maintaining a sense of control no matter what.

"spicy" takes / unpopular opinions [2]

[astro notes no. 005]

・ :*:・ﾟbAck at iT agAiN at kriSpy kREme・ :*:・ﾟ part one of this "spicy" series did really well so thank y'all <3 i appreciate it! i don't wanna center too many of my posts around dragging people or placements bc i feel like there's enough of that type of astro content on here. but i do enjoy mess and i do thrive off of negativity! so here's part two :D

as i mentioned before, every aspect/placement and sign will manifest differently from person to person, pls do not take offense on behalf of something that does not resonate w you. ty &lt;3

disclaimers | masterlist | ask

i’m sorry but i gotta ruin the fun, the “pisces men are trash”, “libra men are whorish”, “sagittarius men are the devil” takes are so tired. a lot of y’all just don’t like men. which is understandable! but that shit don’t be having anything to do with astrology, and that type of surface-level discourse is why people tend to not take astrology seriously in the first place

lowkey piggybacking off of the last point, but i’ve had enough of y’all using y’alls exes, moms, ex-friends, 7th grade math teachers, the bitches who bullied you in high school, etc. as legitimate reasons to have predisposed hatred and bias against certain signs/placements. go book an appointment with your therapist and work it out with them. leave astrology out of it.

aries, leo, sag placements come to the front, we gotta address the whole fire signs = confidence thing. fire signs are driven to get shit done, but that doesn't equate to innate confidence. if anything, fire signs have to evolve and work towards being confident in their work and appearance. i'm a leo descendant, and it's funny bc i've known so many people with prominent leo in their chart who could never relate to any of the superficial stereotypes about leo, especially not when they were growing up

this is a point @seemycee actually brought up to me, but i will never understand why y’all bring up the correlation between placements/aspects and certain physical traits… and then use a celebrity (typically white or light-skinned) who has obviously gotten work done as an example…? at least use pictures of them pre-op before they had a face full of filler. y'all got 16-year-old girls on this app wondering why they don't look like ariana grande if they share the same placements as her, when in reality, ariana grande don't even look like ariana grande.

we should go back to identifying as our rising signs instead of our sun signs. i’m not discrediting the importance of our sun signs or the role it plays in our charts, but i can definitely see why traditional astrologers prioritized the role our ascendant plays in our charts over the sun’s, especially considering the fact that it dictates the entirety of your chart in a sense. i’m also biased tho bc i’ve personally always related more to my rising than my sun for the most part

this is more so something i’ve noticed with how astrology is perceived in popular culture and less in the astro community, but i wish people recognized the importance of the planets as much as they did the zodiac signs. and this isn’t to imply that the signs aren’t important at all bc they definitely are, but in terms of how astrology is generally perceived, i feel like the planets (and aspects as well) are often left out of the conversation when they can give you so much more context than the signs can in some, if not most cases

i wish y'all addressed venus' association with creativity and artistic abilities as much as y'all acknowledge it's association with physical beauty, romance, and aesthetics. venus is also indicative of the values you hold and the things that you assign worth to, and i lowkey hate the way that those attributes tend to get swept under the rug most of the time

speaking of venus, i feel like there should be more inclusive language used surrounding the archetypes of venus and mars (and astrology in general). not everyone resonates with "feminine" and "masculine" terminology, and i think it's always worth mentioning that this phrasing is interchangeable with terms like "light" and "dark", "yin" and "yang", etc. this is also important not just in terms of inclusivity, but also because some of y'all (whether consciously or subconsciously) use these gendered-archetypes to validate unhealthy ideologies/standards surrounding gender expression. a lot of you bitches be on here sounding just like them podcast bros and i don't even think y'all realize it

i feel like the moon phase you’re born under holds a lot more significance than people tend to acknowledge at times, it should be brought up more often in conversations regarding the moon and it’s influence in a chart

i don’t want to shit on the asteroid girlies bc i feel like y’all get dragged enough by the traditional astrologers, and i personally have no problem with anyone wanting to learn about asteroids. but i will say, modern/younger astrologers would benefit more from acknowledging the planets and asteroids through the context of astronomy, instead of going based off of “vibes” and “aesthetic archetypes”. i feel like acknowledging the fact that there are ~1.7 million asteroids and they’re all just specks of dust in comparison to the large, personal planets, actually helps to put things into perspective when understanding how their energy in your chart is actually playing out

i’ve seen this point being made for the past couple of days on my timeline and i thought i’d note it here as well, fatalistic interpretations of certain aspects and placements is extremely dangerous and insensitive. i have no issue with acknowledging a “pattern” in terms of how certain aspects/placements in a chart can manifest, and i would even argue it’s disingenuous to disregard the negative ways that they might potentially show up in someone's life. but blatantly being like “you have xyz aspecting neptune, pluto in [insert house here], nessus square whatever-the-fuck, and so therefore you’re definitely going to experience addiction, mental illness, sexual abuse, death, etc.” is weird and irresponsible

i don't want this post to be too long so i'll end it here, as always let me know if y’all have any aspects/placements mentioned and tell me how they manifest in your life/personality! and if you have any insight feel free to let me know as well. keep it cute!
