TONIGHT- Lunar Eclipse in Virgo Horoscope - Rising Sign Edition

♈ Aries Rising

You’ve pushed yourself past the point of exhaustion before, convincing yourself that if you just kept moving, you would outrun your own restlessness. But this eclipse in your 6th house wants you to confront the way you treat your body, your routines, your mental patterns.

Have you been moving with purpose, or just moving to feel less lost? Have your daily habits been nourishing you, or draining the life from you? Virgo demands precision, not perfection, a fine-tuning of how you live, how you show up for yourself, and how you honor your limits.

Your body is speaking louder than your mind tonight. Are you listening?

Release: Overworking as a distraction. The guilt of resting. The belief that you must always be in motion to be worthy. Reclaim: Your rhythm. Your right to slow down. The power of intentional action, rather than constant movement.

♉ Taurus Rising

You’ve spent so long protecting your heart, building walls of practicality, setting unspoken conditions for love and joy. This eclipse in your 5th house shakes that foundation, making you question: Are you truly allowing yourself to love and create freely, or only within safe parameters?

Virgo’s meticulous gaze picks apart your expectations of happiness, the unconscious rules you’ve placed on pleasure. Love does not always arrive in a form that is familiar. Joy is not something to be micromanaged. This is a call to soften, to risk, to let yourself feel fully, even when it terrifies you.

Your heart is aching for something real, something messy, something alive. Let it in.

Release: The need to control love. The fear of vulnerability. The belief that joy must be earned. Reclaim: The freedom to love boldly. Your right to create without judgment. The rawness of feeling without fear.

♊ Gemini Rising

There are ghosts in your walls, the kind you don’t see but feel, the kind that whisper in the quiet moments between thoughts. This eclipse in your 4th house is a reckoning with the past, with the foundations you’ve built your sense of safety upon.

Are you carrying burdens that were never yours to hold? Are you still bound to stories of who you were supposed to be? This is a moment of deep, ancestral clearing. Not all roots deserve to keep you tethered.

It is time to release what weighs you down, to let go of inherited pain, to build a sense of home that belongs entirely to you.

Release: Unfinished grief. The need to carry family burdens. The belief that you must stay small to stay safe. Reclaim: Your space. Your right to redefine home. The power of severing ties that no longer serve your growth.

♋ Cancer Rising

Your words have been calculated, careful, or perhaps withheld entirely. This eclipse in your 3rd house is a force of truth, shaking the foundation of how you think, how you communicate, and what you’ve left unsaid.

There are conversations you’ve avoided, emotions you’ve swallowed, but silence is no longer a refuge. Tonight, your mind is restless, your voice aching to be heard. What have you been too afraid to say? What stories need to be rewritten?

Let the words spill. They will set you free.

Release: The fear of speaking your truth. The weight of unspoken words. The need for external validation. Reclaim: Your voice. The power of honesty. The ability to communicate from a place of self-trust.

♌ Leo Rising

Your worth has been measured in currency, whether literal or metaphorical. This eclipse in your 2nd house asks: Have you been attaching your value to what you produce, what you own, what others see in you?

Something must fall away, an outdated belief, a financial cycle, a way of defining yourself by external means. You are enough without the proof, without the excess, without the validation. Let the world take what it must, what remains is your truth.

Release: The belief that security must come from outside of you. The fear of loss. The idea that worth is transactional. Reclaim: Your inner stability. The freedom to exist without proving yourself. A new definition of abundance.

♍ Virgo Rising

You are standing at a crossroads with yourself. This 1st house eclipse is a mirror, a confrontation, an undoing. You’ve tried to perfect yourself, to mold your identity into something refined, careful, right. But who are you outside of the expectations, the labels, the curated version of yourself?

Something in you has reached its limit. A mask must slip. A piece of your identity must be reclaimed, even if it disrupts the balance you’ve worked so hard to maintain. Let it break. Let yourself breathe.

Release: The version of yourself that exists for others. The need for constant self-improvement. The fear of imperfection. Reclaim: Your raw authenticity. The courage to exist unapologetically. The power of being without fixing.

♎ Libra Rising

This eclipse pulls you inward, deep into the caverns of your subconscious. The 12th house is where endings happen in silence, where past versions of you dissolve, where hidden truths rise to the surface when you least expect them.

There is something here you’ve been avoiding, a grief, a habit, a self-sabotaging cycle that lingers beneath your awareness. The distractions that once numbed you may no longer work. You can’t outrun your own shadow; this eclipse is proof of that.

But what if facing the darkness is the only way through? What if surrendering to it is the key to your freedom?

Release: The need to suppress pain. The fear of solitude. The patterns that keep you asleep to yourself. Reclaim: Your intuition. The strength found in stillness. The clarity that comes when you stop resisting.

♏ Scorpio Rising

You once had a vision for yourself, a clear path, a defined goal. But what happens when that vision no longer fits? When the future you imagined feels foreign, when the communities you once felt aligned with no longer feel like home?

This eclipse in your 11th house brings a reckoning to your dreams, your hopes, your sense of belonging. Some people and places cannot follow you where you’re going. Some aspirations were built on an old version of you.

Let go of the timelines, the rigid expectations. Let the unknown shape itself without interference. Your purpose is evolving—make space for it to unfold.

Release: Outdated dreams. Friendships that no longer nourish you. The pressure to follow a predetermined path. Reclaim: The courage to embrace uncertainty. A future that feels authentic. The freedom to change direction.

♐ Sagittarius Rising

Your world is shifting under the weight of something bigger than you. The 10th house rules career, reputation, legacy, and this eclipse shakes the structures you’ve built. Are you truly aligned with your path, or have you been walking it out of obligation?

There may be a career ending, a redirection, or a deep realization about what success actually means to you. You are shedding a role that no longer fits, yet clinging to it will only prolong the inevitable.

This eclipse asks: Who are you beyond the title? Beyond the expectations? When all else fades, what remains?

Release: The fear of professional failure. The belief that your worth is tied to external achievement. Reclaim: A path that excites you. A career that aligns with your soul. The right to redefine success.

♑ Capricorn Rising

Your beliefs are being tested. This 9th house eclipse exposes the cracks in your philosophies, ideals, and the way you make sense of the world. Some truths you once held close now feel distant, irrelevant. The places, people, and perspectives that once felt like home may no longer resonate.

Are you resisting growth because it feels like a betrayal of your past? Or are you brave enough to step into a wider, wilder understanding of yourself?

A door is opening. It leads somewhere unfamiliar, maybe even uncomfortable. But staying where you are would be the real loss.

Release: Outdated belief systems. Fear of leaving your comfort zone. The need for certainty. Reclaim: The courage to seek new wisdom. The freedom to change your mind. A sense of purpose beyond what you’ve known.

♒ Aquarius Rising

The 8th house is where things end and begin again. This eclipse drags you into the depths of your own transformation, forcing you to release something that no longer serves you, a fear, an attachment, a version of yourself that existed only in survival mode.

There is something unfinished here, something you’ve avoided grieving. But grief is not just for loss, it is also for the parts of yourself you are ready to outgrow. Let the past decompose. You are not meant to stay in the decay, you are meant to rise from it.

Release: Emotional baggage. Toxic attachments. The belief that transformation must be painful. Reclaim: Your power. A sense of inner renewal. The ability to let go without guilt.

♓ Pisces Rising

Love is a mirror, and right now, you can’t look away. This eclipse in your 7th house brings stark clarity to your relationships, where they thrive, where they suffocate, where they ask for more than you can give.

A dynamic is shifting, perhaps through endings, revelations, or deeper levels of intimacy. How have you been showing up in love? How have you been holding yourself back? Virgo demands honesty, and this eclipse is showing you the places where you have settled, over-sacrificed, or built walls too high for anyone to climb.

The reflection may be uncomfortable, but within it lies the truth: you deserve the kind of love that nourishes, not depletes.

Release: Relationship patterns that drain you. The fear of being seen fully. The need to overcompromise. Reclaim: Love that meets you where you are. The power to set boundaries. A connection built on truth, not illusion.

Interpol Official Files on Classified Event CA-88 - Person of Interest 01

Ingo Trewyn

Status: Alive – Confirmed Faller Role: Streetcar Operator, No. Eight Pokémon: Hisuian Sneasel (“Little Miss”) Notes: Retains high functionality. Displays intermittent awareness beyond environmental parameters. Pokémon companion may be influencing mental resistance. Addendum: Broadcast title “The Trewyn Show” appears to reference subject directly. Origin of naming remains unexplained.

Maaaaaan I did this months ago, wasn't satisfied with it, redid it, still don't like it but I'M POSTING IT ANYWAY HA

Really glad I switched up his outfit. Anyway! Notes below the cut. Hope you like Ingo's official fit for the show!

This is Ingo's official working uniform. Leo Parnell, his superior and the previous streetcar driver, isn't very stingy about what he wears. The only thing Ingo really has to have on is the hat and coat. Ingo for some reason doesn't like it as much as his popped collar on his casual outfits...

New Celestica's weather doesn't really change, but Ingo wears a sweater underneath the collared shirt anyway due to the fabric texture annoying him. It has the added benefit of bulking him up a bit, which with how little he eats, is good for keeping up appearances. He's always run a bit cold anyway.

Luckily, he still rememebers how to wear a tie.

Little Miss is the fare collector for streetcar No. 8. She's very good at her job and takes pride in the ensemble he put together for her. Ingo specifically requested a cap for her, too, so Mr. Parnell got a children's sourvenir cap. Ingo made her a high-vis vest (with his sewing skills from Hisui coming in clutch) as she's so small and hard to see by street traffic.

I'm hoping to make this a good way to do future character profiles (Looker, Mohn, Mrs. Singmore, Keith, etc) with spoiler tags if needed. Hopefully ya'll will like it and this type of format! Questions about the AU and characters is always welcome in my ask box btw.

[my-beloved-ghosts-and-me]

My thoughts about which deadly sin each Usher represents.

I would like to say that they all could easily represent more than one sin, but only one sin was deadly to them and that's what I'm using as a parameter.

Roderick and Madeline - Greed

The twins are Greed. For me it's pretty obvious they're Greed because even Roderick said so. No amount of money would ever be enough. Their greed for more was the beginning of their downfall when, decades ago, they decided to accept that deal.

Prospero - Lust

Another one that I find pretty obvious. His life was all about a luxurious and hedonistic lifestyle, but ultimately what caused his death was his decision to keep the orgy going.

Camille - Envy

I think Camille was envy because that's exactly what led her to her death.

Camille's resentment towards Victorine comes from having to deal with all the dirt from the family, but her sister who is just like her, as Verna said, gets to be their "Madre Theresa" just because she hid better. This is what led Camille to be so hateful of Victorine, her envy for her.

If Camille wasn't so envious of Victorine she wouldn't be so determined to bring her down, if she wasn't so envious she wouldn't be so personally focused on finding the dirty Victorine was hiding despise Verna giving her the chance to step back and not get inside.

Ultimately envy led Camille to her death.

Leo - Gluttony

Leo can easily be Gluttony because his over-consumption and over-indulgence of drugs and drinks it's exactly what led him to his death. Pluto was never dead, he was hallucinating because of all the drugs he took the night before. (I do believe the hallucination was especially so vivid because of Verna though. She disseminated the idea that led each Usher to their death but also gave them the chance to step back. She offers temptation and the chance to regret their choice)

Jules even let it clear, to us, the audience, the alarming amount of drugs he consumed. His drug-induced hallucination ultimately led him to his death. Had Leo not consumed too many drugs, he wouldn't hallucinated that morning and wouldn't have gone after a new cat that caused him to spiral into a deepening psychosis aggravated by the excessive amount of drugs he consumed on a daily basis.

Victorine - Wrath

Victorine for me represents wrath because that was her downfall.

She was rude to Verna when they bumped into each other for the first time, she was rude to her security guard after the conversation with her older siblings... That shows us how easily angry she was all the time.

She was angry that she needed to put more effort into her job because it was harder for her, a Usher bastard. She was angry that her older siblings got to grow up with her father figure around and with the "legendary Annabel Lee", the only woman Roderick loved enough to marry while her mother was just a nurse. She was angry that their father had thrown the food at them just to see them fighting for it. She was so angry at everything and eventually, that was going to blow up.

But anger it's not wrath. Wrath, by the Bible, it's when you get consumed by rage to the point of acting irrationally and immorally. 

And in a fit of rage, blinded by the wrath that bubbled inside her all her life as an Usher, she killed her partner, went mad with regret, and when she realized what she had done she killed herself consumed with remorse.

Wrath was the sin that led Victorine to her death.

Tamerlane - Pride

First of all the sheer amount of mirrors in her house, it's a huge clue that she's Pride, but there are others.

She considers herself above Juno and even calls her "it", refusing to acknowledge that she's a human too. And why? Because she's a "junkie"?

Tamerlane considers herself better than her siblings too. She only stopped texting at their funerals because her husband stopped her. Their funeral meant nothing to her because it wasn't about her or her launch.

She thinks of herself above her husband too. Could be anyone there, any face, the brand would be a success. And why? Because she, alone, is behind it.

Just before her death, she could have given up her pride and called her husband. But she didn't. And she died completely alone because of it while destroying the last mirror and the last way she could see herself, her ugly self.

Pride was Tamerlane's death through and through.

Fred - Sloth

Fred is Sloth because he didn't demolish the building as his father ordered, he procrastinated. What led his wife to the orgy was his lack of attitude in their relationship, his lack of proactively in their life.

Fred tried to be like his father but he couldn't keep up with his rhythm, he was a cover band off-key, always a little slower.

If you look closely, all things are always delicated interconnected.

Fred's sin caused Prospero's death and his own. A full circle.

Had Fred stopped procrastinating and started doing his job, the building would not be there. Had Fred stopped being accommodated in his relationship, Morrie wouldn't be tempted to go to Perry's orgy.

Poetically the consequences of the sin that ultimately led Fred to his death were the slowest. Sloth is lazy after all. He was the first to sin, but the last to die. And he died laying down, without moving, representing perfectly his deadly sin and exactly how he lived his life.

Obs: Fred and Prospero are so interconnected, they are like a double ouroboros. The end and the beginning of the Usher's heirs massacre.

They fall asleep like that, curled together and clinging, and Jason doesn't let got of him the whole night, he wakes up with Leo still in his arms

It both surprises Jason and reminds him that last night really did happen. There's no disputing it as a dream or hallucination or implanted memory when Leo is just so warm in his arms all tucked safe under his chin. His hands are close to his face, one curled in a loose fist and the other splayed over Jason’s bare chest, a single leg hooked at the knee between both of Jason’s. And he's snoring, a kind of relaxed in sleep that he hardly ever gets to see Leo achieve

Jason pulls him a little closer, sticks his face in Leo’s curls and breathes him in. It feels fragile, the sleep and the peace, Jason doesn't want it to end

He lays there for what must be a good hour, just holding Leo and listening to him sleep. Jason has a whole morning routine he likes to keep, one where he pretends he's not prowling the parameter of the Main Room checking that everything is in place as the coffee pot does its thing before having a bit of a fly to start his day. It helps keep Jason’s head in place; a reminder that his home and the people in it are safe, then a reminder that he's not in the Legion anymore and he's free to come and go as he pleases, free to use his gifts as he sees fit. But for the first time in a long time he doesn't feel the need to do that, letting the man in his arms sleep taking priority

And Leo is so warm, so so warm. Jason knew he ran hot, like he has a high fever on a cool day, but wrapped up under the covers and tucked safe in his arms he's warmer than he's ever let Jason feel him.

Except for last night, Jason’s lips had stinged after kissing him from the heat, it had been addicting

He's almost disappointed when Leo starts to stir, but he gets to watch him wake up slow and easy. How his face pinches and relaxes as he comes to, the way his fingers twitch, the little sound he makes. It makes it worthwhile when he opens his eyes, first soft taking in the day, then realizing like Jason did that they are still tangled together

“Oh” Leo breathes “Hi”

“Hi” Jason greets back, he can hear the smile in his voice

“You're still here”

“I told you” Jason stick his face back in Leo’s hair, he smells so good “I'm not going anywhere”

“Oh” is all Leo says in return, like he's still processing it all

It was a night like any other in the Ninja Turtles' underground hideout. The soft sound of music echoed through the room as Leonardo meditated in silence, Raphael was busy sharpening his blades, and Donatello was adjusting some devices on his technology station. Michelangelo, as usual, was relaxing on the sofa with a slice of pizza in his hand, trying to beat yet another level of his favorite video game.

The atmosphere was familiar and safe, until the heavy door of the safe house opened, revealing y/n. Dressed in a black jacket and carrying a few shopping bags, you walked in with a tired but warm smile. "Hey, guys!" You greeted loudly, placing the bags on the table and wiping your forehead, visibly tired.

The turtles greeted you enthusiastically, but Donatello, always attentive to detail, frowned when he noticed something. He tilted his head, watching you more closely. "Y/n, are you all right?" he asked, his voice laden with sincere concern. "You seem… different."

Donatello's observation made the other brothers turn to you, now realizing what he was pointing out. Indeed, something was out of the ordinary. Your face was a little paler than usual, and there was a slight swelling in your belly that none of them had seen before.

"You're not ill, are you?" Leonardo asked, with an expression of concern, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Do you need help?"

You gave a small smile, clearly uncomfortable with the sudden attention and the line of questioning. "I'm fine, really,” you said, moving into the makeshift kitchen and pulling a few items out of the bags. "Just a bit swollen, no big deal."

Michelangelo, however, didn't miss the detail of the swelling. He stopped playing his video game and leaned forward, his eyes wide with surprise. "Wait a minute… swollen? Like, you know… - he made an exaggerated gesture, as if he were molding a giant belly in the air, his eyes fixed on you. "Are you… pregnant?"

Michelangelo's words echoed in the room like a bomb, and Leonardo, surprised, almost dropped the glass of water he was holding. Raphael, with his typical skeptical expression, rolled his eyes, but couldn't help looking at April too, now with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"Really, Mikey?" Raphael asked, crossing his arms. "How can you think Y/n is pregnant? She hasn't even said anything about it."

You, clearly embarrassed by Michelangelo's assumption, tried to remain calm as looked at them. It was an uncomfortable situation, but you knew they were just trying to understand what was going on.

You sighed slightly and shook your head.

"No, Mikey, I'm not pregnant” you said, trying not to laugh at the confusion. "It's just swelling. Nothing more."

Donatello, ever the team scientist, didn't seem satisfied with this simple answer. He took out his portable tablet, quickly adjusting a few parameters, and approached you with the intention of doing a quick scan. "Just to make sure,” he said, lifting the device and starting to collect health data. "Better not jump to conclusions."

You looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, knowing that Donnie was meticulous when it came to technology, but this time it was a little more than necessary. “Donnie, I told you, I'm fine. You don't have to scan me,” you said, laughing slightly. But the scan was already underway.

While the scan was taking place, the turtles looked at each other, anxious for the result. Michelangelo was visibly excited, as if he expected his hunch to be confirmed, while Raphael maintained a more skeptical expression. Leonardo watched in silence, but was clearly curious too.

When the scan was finished, Donatello looked at the screen of his tablet, analyzing the results with a thoughtful expression. There were no signs of pregnancy, no alarming irregularities, just the normal signs of someone going through a common biological process.

"There are no signs of pregnancy" Donatello announced, raising his eyes to his brothers. "Everything seems to be normal"

Michelangelo let out a frustrated groan. "Really? I really thought I'd discovered something!"

"Well, maybe if you thought before you spoke, Mikey, it would help,” Raphael said sarcastically, punching Michelangelo lightly on the shoulder.

Leonardo, although relieved by the news, was still curious. "So, if you're not pregnant, what's going on, Y/n?"

You sighed deeply, feeling that now was the time to clarify the situation. You knew that turtles were your best friends, but this kind of conversation was never easy. However, seeing the concern in their eyes, especially in Donnie and Leo's, she decided to be honest. "Okay, I'll explain it once and for all,” you said, crossing arms and looking directly at them. "I'm not pregnant. I'm just having my period."

The words came out naturally, but their impact was immediate. The turtles froze, their eyes wide as they processed the information. Raphael, who was rarely at a loss for words, opened and closed his mouth as if he was trying to speak, but couldn't find the words.

"Menstruating?" Mikey was the first to speak, his voice full of confusion. "Like… it's that thing about… when you…?"

Donatello, trying to help, took the initiative to explain. "Yes, Mikey, it's when the menstrual cycle happens. Women go through it once a month. It's completely normal."

Michelangelo scratched his head, looking fascinated and slightly baffled. "Wow, that must be… complicated. Like, how do you manage to deal with it every month?"

You laughed softly, crossing your arms. "With patience. And sometimes a lot of chocolate."

Leonardo finally relaxed, an understanding smile appearing on his face. "Sorry for being so nosy. We just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"I know,” you said, expression softening. “And I appreciate your concern. But next time, maybe ask before jumping to conclusions."

Raphael, still visibly uncomfortable with the subject, muttered: "I knew it was something like that… I just… didn't want to talk."

"Of course you knew, Raph,” said Michelangelo, mocking his brother as everyone laughed.

The tension of the situation finally dissipated, and the turtles returned to their routine, albeit with a new layer of understanding. Even though they were fierce warriors, dealing with the complexities of the female human body seemed beyond what they were used to. But the important thing was that, at the end of the day, their friendship remained unshakeable - even when they faced issues that left them feeling a little disconcerted.

You picked up your bag, ready to leave, but before you left, you looked back at them with a smile. "And, guys, if I really do get pregnant one day… I promise you'll be the first to know." She winked at them, leaving them laughing and more relieved.

As soon as you came out of hiding, Michelangelo looked at Donnie with a serious expression. "Man, that was a lesson. I think we need to learn more about this kind of thing."

Donatello smiled. - Mikey, I can pass you some books. And also, Y/n had already told us about it before, but I think she forgot to tell about that particular point.

"No books, man!" Michelangelo exclaimed, turning back to his video game. ''I prefer to learn from pizza and movies."

Raph ruffed. "Ya won't learn that way. Trust me. You're not old enough to watch-".

"Alright, everybody. We learned another important stuff. That's what matters." Leo announced. And life in the New York sewer went on as usual, full of surprises, laughter and, of course, lots of pizza.

Vincent's masochism is fascinating because it only manifests around Leo. You'd think it has to do with how much Vincent hates himself and yeah, it does, because of this he struggles to accept affection from people like Gilbert or Ada (he seems to have gotten better with Gil after the time skip) but also he hates being vulnerable. Caucus Race calls him someone who likes to chase but hates being chased. Vincent wants all his interactions to happen on his terms. He's fine with Gilbert being put off by him because he plans to erase himself from his life anyway and that way he doesn't have to think that he's taking something away from Gilbert. He's disgusted by the women he seduces but can out up with it because he is manipulating them and considers their feelings shallow, he doesn't know how to deal with Ada when she goes off-script and even when she accepts him for all he is, he still doesn't feel like he deserves it and cuts ties for her own good.

But being Leo's servant is Vincent's own choice. He sees a kindred spirit in him. The relationship works under the parameters that Vincent has set and gives him purpose when he doesn't know what to do. But also, when Leo insults or hits him, is because Leo is being tsundere or because Vincent got under his skin. This makes it so Leo's affection for him doesn't feel cloying, but also it is Leo losing his composture at Vincent's actions, so in a sense, Vincent is still in control of the situation, so that masochistic side of him can bloom.

it is an honor and a privilege to do a reading for THEEEEEEEE mira belle the iconic mrs. takami the one the only the stunning. please have a seat at my humble crystal ball.

12h virgo venus my dick is so hard rn LSDKFJSDJFS okay let me be normal....let me....okay, woosah.

Huge fan of a Virgo heavy chart for a multitude of reasons, the first being that you guys appreciate the power of self control. In my experience, which I will admit is not wide or varied or but I’ve listened to a lot of different people tell their stories, Virgos who have evolved beyond the initial self judgement and repression that comes with the placement are very giving, selfless, and generally experimental partners.

Where you stand on the sexual spectrum of dom, sub, switch as a Virgo can depend heavily on your surrounding placements. A Virgo Sun/Venus/Mars surrounded by a soft water Moon/Neptune or even a tenderness seeking Libra or Gemini placement will tend to fall toward the sub end of that spectrum, desiring the coddling they’ve never been able to give themselves because their core values and how they view themselves as a person in relation to the world around them will not let them. A Virgo Sun/Venus/Mars that has more passionate, less emotional placements surrounding it (fire moon/neptune, a prominent Capricorn placement, Scorpio Moon especially…) may find themselves tending to lean toward the more dominant end of that spectrum, fueled by their obsessive need for self control and channeling it elsewhere. 

Most will find themselves somewhere in the middle though, finally bold enough to shrug the world off their shoulders and to just enjoy and indulge. 

I will say one of the placements that shines through the most in you, friend to friend, is your Libra Mars. You speak in a way that is fair, diplomatic, and thoughtful. You leave space for people of all kinds to have a bit of your time and that’s hard to do for someone that doesn’t value equality the way that you do. This is also something, I feel, that lends to some of your more switchy tendencies. 

Not to read you or anything but like, you asked for it…

You believe in equality in your relationship. To peg and be pegged, if you will. Fairness in all things even who gets to be the bottom on any given night and Virgo encourages that. Virgo loves routine, it loves the expected, but above all it loves knowing all the variables ahead of time just as a standard in their life. Things are kept fair by Virgo by keeping them within parameters they set from the get go. Your boundaries, desires, and dreams are clear from the first date and if a partner cannot fit them, they will not be your partner for long. 

Now let me get into that 12h sun AND venus placement. This is an incredibly discerning place for these planets to live and also something I very much see in you. You don’t jump into anything, you’re thoughtful and take your time to deliberate and weigh the outcome of every action before the action is even completed. It’s a very emotionally in tune connection between Venus and Sun and honestly, HONESTLY, one of your core values in life is likely to love and be loved whatever that looks like. Sun is identity formation, basic morals, things we hold in high regard and sharing that space with Venus is very likely to create that as a necessity for you. It also makes a very emotionally fulfilling partner. You may also be drawn to relationships that are a little private, not that you don’t share them, but that it’s personal and it’s your business and that’s how you want it to be. 

Your relationships likely become a private world for you and your partner. Nobody exists outside, the only things needed to be happy on the inside are each other. Extremely loyal. 4h Capricorn Neptune also likely influences this, it’s a placement that deeply desires family and stability and your expectations may be high although you’ll have a partner that will meet them always.

Back to sexuality though since I got off topic.

Overall, I see a really balanced sexual partner here. You value pleasure thanks to Libra and you are a masterful flirt and probably a pretty decent dirty talker because Libra loves to build a story, your Leo moon encourages you to allow yourself to be viewed as the sexy, sexy thing you are even when Virgo is like no, no, no, no, no bc perception is a loss of control in a Virgo’s world. You are very seductive! People look at you and want to know more, they feel tempted like there’s a lot more bubbling beneath the surface they just wanna dip a toe in. Very sensual energy. Probably switchy, leaning dom so that all that Virgo can be given her way and a little bit of control.

Okay love youuuuu

i've always been confused about how the curse of hazel's gems affected sammy--or rather, didn't affect him. like he lived to be old enough to meet his great grandson, and that was decades after he sold hazel's diamond. that shouldn't have been possible. he shouldn't have been able to live such a long and happy life. which is why, when gaea told hazel in son that he died in the 60s, it's no surprise. he would have been in his late 20s-30s, could have suffered for a few years after setting up his machine shop before dying at what would be a tragically young age.

it's assumed, when we find out in moa, that sammy did live a long life, that gaea had just been lying for the sake of lying, trying to drag hazel's morale down. but what if she didn't know she was lying?

we know that hera had more than a small hand in leo's life. we know that sammy talked to her under the guise of callida before leo was even born. she knew about hazel and sammy's past and about the role she needed leo to play in the future. she knew that if sammy had succumbed to the curse of selling the diamond, it was very likely leo never would have been born.. so what if she somehow played the curse, wove a story where it took sammy's life, while she let him live under the shroud of that lie.

but the thing about curses is... you can't just take them away with no consequences, that's not how that works. at some point someone is going to have to pay up, something hera would be more than aware of. so she (or pluto or whoever would have control over the parameters of this curse) kept shifting the curse onto the next generation, until they got to leo. until hera had the valdez she needed. and then she let her grasp on the curse go..

and you know who died tragically in her late 20s-30s? esperanza valdez.

... i'll let you connect the rest of those dots

How much is too much?

This is in relation to fic writing, as a warning.

What are the parameters for stuff in a fic. Like, realistically, in a fic, how much fluff would be too much, and how much angst would be too much. Like, as an example for the PJO fandom, would killing off Jason be too much for a fic set right after the death of Leo? I’m also not really sure how to balance either, so all ideas are appreciated.

hi!! i was wondering if any of your OC’s have chronic illnesses and if you could elaborate on how they affect them?

Hi! Thank you for this question.

I've been pretty hesitant to properly approach this topic, because I don't have any personal experience with chronic illnesses, so all my knowledge is coming second-hand. I've done a lot of reading, listening, and research, though, so I'm reasonably confident I can do it justice.

That being said, I want to preface this by saying, I have no real medical knowledge about any of these topics, and like I said, nothing is first-hand, so if ever I am not doing it justice, or I am not giving the experiences or the perspectives the care they require, I am always willing to listen and learn.

Okay, to actually answer the question.

Yes, I would say two of my ocs have chronic illnesses. I've noodled around with some other ideas, but this is what I've decided thus far.

Charlie has Type 1 diabetes, which is a chronic illness. So she is always keeping an eye on her blood sugar, and tracking her insulin. She tries to count calories as a way to measure and manage her insulin, but she’s not great at it, so if there are ever issues with her blood sugar, this is probably why. She’s also very conscious of her physical activity, and tries to be consistent with it, which is partly why she bikes to work whenever she can. 

I’m using these parameters for “target blood sugar levels”, based on online sources (I’m using metric units because as far as I can tell that’s more common in Canada):

Before meals : 4 to 7 mmol/L

After meals : under 9 mmol/L

She wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that connects to an app on her phone, so she can keep an eye on her blood sugar. It’s set to alert her phone when her levels go lower or higher than the target range.

She also has an insulin pump that she wears almost all the time, that makes her blood sugar levels much easier to manage.

Overall, she has a pretty good handle on it, and can usually maintain pretty steady levels, but she is pretty reliant on her technology, so when she forgets to change her monitor or something she definitely gets low

Also, if exciting things are happening, she might/will forget to monitor it, and she might not notice she’s low until it’s too late, but otherwise, she’s pretty good at clocking it, and she has systems in place to handle it

Her cubby at the apartment has most of her diabetes supplies, including snacks for lows, new monitors, new insulin for the pump, a finger prick test, and various other supplies

She has a cross body bag that she always has with her containing many of the same supplies, because being low and alone is a big fear of hers, so she makes sure she’s prepared for this, if nothing else.

Okay, then there’s Leo. I’m still working out exactly how I want to portray his chronic illnesses, and how I want to develop his character. Here’s what I’ve been thinking:

Every day, his chronic illness affect the following:

Fatigue

Headaches

Mobility

Balance

Temperature regulation

On a flare day, basically anything could go wrong:

Fevers, almost always accompanied by more severe symptoms

Nausea, throwing up, stomach issues

Migraine

Muscle spasms, loss of muscle control

Immobility

Fluctuating heart rate

So basically, here’s what I know. His mobility and energy fluctuate a lot. He uses a cane most of the time these days, and he does have a wheelchair that he uses when it’s really bad, but not consistently. And it’s not a properly fitted wheelchair or anything either

Some things that he does make it more likely that he will flare: things like traveling, stressing, important meetings, emotional days, or anything that uses large amounts of energy. Waking up to a flare is one of the scariest feelings for him, but he’s gotten better at managing it. His flares can also happen for no reason, with no warning, but those ones tend to be milder days.

He really started to feel the symptoms in high school, and they’ve only developed since then

There’s been a lot of family drama kind of surrounding his illness and its progression, but he’s at a point now where he can manage it relatively well, and he knows his body quite well

His depression is strongly tied to his chronic illness

I haven’t decided if he has a formal diagnosis yet, so for now I’m leaving it kind of open-ended, but from what I’ve reading and thinking, he has an autonomic condition, probably POTS, and I’ve been thinking FND as the main impact on his mobility

I'm still learning Leo as a character, and I haven't explored very many aspects of his chronic illness, or how it would actually impact him, but I'm working on it :)

Hope this makes sense lol. Any thoughts/requests would be much appreciated!

Configuration design method of mega constellation for low earth orbit observation

Satellite constellation has been applied in communication, reconnaissance, navigation, and other space missions, such as GPS, Glonass, Beidou, Starlink, etc. With the rapid development of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, mega constellation will inevitably become an important means of Earth observation and a key point in the development of future satellite technology. The configuration optimization design of LEO observation mega constellation in complex space environment is a nonlinear problem that is difficult to solve analytically. During the development, constellation design principles have shifted from the uniform coverage requirement to application requirements. However, previous method cannot provide solutions to constellation configuration optimal design based on high-precision orbital propagation. In a research article recently published in Space: Science & Technology, scholars from Harbin Engineering University, China Academy of Space Technology, and Stevens Institute of Technology together proposed a configuration design method of LEO mega constellation based on basic and accompanying satellites orbit design, considering satellite imaging width, formation flying of subgroup satellites, and global uniform coverage by payloads.

First, satellites in the mega constellation are categorized and the constellation design based on different satellite division is proposed. Satellites in the mega constellation are divided into 2 types, namely, the basic satellites and the accompanying satellites. All basic satellites that are surrounded by accompanying satellites are evenly distributed globally, and they have the same subsatellite trajectory. A basic satellite and its accompanying satellites are defined as a satellite group. The constellation is composed of many satellite groups, as shown in Fig. 1.

As for basic satellites, the semimajor axis a of regression orbit can be numerically solved considering (1) that regression orbit requires a satellite flies R times around Earth in D days and (2) that the influence of J2 perturbation force of an orbit satisfying e = 0 and M = f is zero (i.e. dΩ/dt = 0, dω/dt = 0, dM/dt = 0). Assuming that the ground coverage width of a satellite group is d, the number of basic orbital plane is Nt = ceiling(2πRe/d) where ceiling(⋅) is the round up function. Assuming that the maximum response time to complete Earth observation mission required by the user is mt and the orbital plane is evenly divided according to the orbital period T, the number of basic satellites in each orbital plane is Nn = ceiling(T/mt). Based on above analysis, input the i, e, and ω of the constellation and Q = R/D, then the basic satellites constellation is designed.

As for accompanying satellites, they have the semimajor axis with basic satellites. According to the Clohessy-Wiltshire equation, the relative motion trajectory between the basic satellites and the accompanying satellites is an ellipse. Then, considering that the position vectors at the initial time and T/2 relative to the basic satellite is oppositive, the orbital elements of the first accompanying satellites can be solved. Assuming that the imaging width of a single satellite is sd, the number of accompanying satellites in a satellite group is Na = ceiling(d/sd - 1). Divide the trajectory of the first accompanying satellite relative to basic satellite orbital coordinate system in chronological order, extract the position vectors of all equal points under the orbital system, and use these as the position vectors of other accompanying satellites under the basic satellite orbital system at initial time.

Combining the basic and accompanying satellites’ orbits, the configuration of mega constellation is obtained.

Then, the orbit parameters of satellite and its companions are set as initial values, and the precise orbits under the High Precision Orbit Propagator model are solved in the neighborhood by using the Nondominated Sort Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. Transform the orbital elements of any basic satellite into position and velocity information, which is recorded as {pxpq, pypq, pzpq, vxpq, vypq, vzpq}. Add an increment to build their neighborhood, which can be expressed to {Δpxpq, Δpypq, Δpzpq, Δvxpq, Δvypq, Δvzpq}. The optimization variable of accompanying satellite orbit is the position and velocity increment of all basic satellites. The optimization objective f1 for the basic satellite configuration is to minimize the absolute difference between the ascending and descending nodes of any basic satellite bspq in cycle i, and the ascending and descending nodes of bs1q as much as possible. The optimization objective f2 of the accompanying satellite is to keep the relative position as close as possible under the basic satellite orbit system at multiple subsequent motion periods. Optimization iteration process involves continuously approaching the Pareto front. In practice, find all nondominant solutions of the initial individual as the optimal solution set. Calculate 2 optimization objectives of everyone in sequence, and use the nearest global nondominated individual and own historical nondominated individual as learning objects. Update individual optimization variables and variable increments based on population information, individual experience, and self-inertia, as shown in Fig. 10. Then calculate the f1 and f2 of newly generated individuals again, and regenerate the global Pareto front and individual historical Pareto front. After a fixed number of cycles or objective function is less than the threshold, the iteration ends and the global Pareto front can be obtained. At this point, the final constellation configuration can be selected based on user preferences or linear superposition of f1 and f2.

Finally, the correctness of the configuration design method is verified by numerical simulation. In the simulation, set the constellation orbital inclination as 66°, eccentricity as 0, argument of perigee as 0, simulation time as 1 d, set regression coefficient Q = 15, initial ascending node as 0, initial MA as 0, imaging width of a satellite group as 1500 km, imaging width of single satellite as 140 km, and maximum working time of single satellite to orbit single circle as 35 min. During the optimization, it can be observed that the approximation speed of the Pareto front in the first 100 generations is extremely fast. As the number of iteration increases, the variation of the Pareto front gradually decreases and eventually becomes stable. In the final generation of nondominated solutions, we select the individual of f1 = 1.981 and f2 = 9516.482 as the final solution, and the constellation configuration is shown in Fig. 15. The constellation has a total of 891 satellites, of which 81 basic satellites are evenly distributed, with 10 accompanying satellites evenly distributed around each basic satellite. A total of 810 accompanying satellites can achieve collaborative observation of any position outside the polar region within 35 min.

What we need to do once we get past this constitutional crisis.

We need to take money out of politics because this is how Heritage Foundation Alt Right / White supremacies / Tech Bro money all want a dictatorship. So over decades Leonard Leo groomed alt right judges, Mitch McConnell helped place many of them. Then slowly bought off most of the Republican party. Lets face it if less than 5% fought taking away money from feeding kids so they could put our grandchildren in debt giving oligarchs money…they are bought off bitches. Then we have the Supreme Court who VIOLATED the constitution by saying Colorado court insurrection was immune worthy. They said all future actions were immune too. THIS is a KING NOT a president. This VIOLATES our constitution. Roberts and those judges that voted for this are NOT worthy of wearing any robes or respect. They need to reverse immunity.

The reason we are on this platform is because oligarchs CENSOR our 1st amendment right to speech on Instagram and FB.

Every April 15 we need to pay $3 (maybe you tier this so above $250k, 1 million, 100 million pay more). $1.50 goes to the 3 pollical parties for the state split 3 ways Rep/Dem/Indep for 3 state elections (Gov/Lt gov, Senate, House of Rep) then $1 goes to Federal elections (President/VP, House. Senate) and .50 goes to local newspapers.

Barring NPR, PBS giving equal time for 3 races NO other political money is allowed. .50 cents goes to help fund a few public state newspapers and this money can not be touched by the president. The President in the FUTURE can not threaten to take away broadcasting licenses if people are broadcasting the truth. However for those repeatedly putting out blatant lies they can be fined.

The Supreme Court and congress will have to take an oath of office with a code of conduct including NOT taking kickback bribes or they can be fired. The court will have a 10 year term limit and congress will have a 4 term limit where when they retire they can get 4 years healthcare but after that they get whatever the 99% get. The ONLY stock trading they can do is bonds, public index funds, public REITS. No indiv stock purchases.

Background checks are a requirement to work for any government job in the WH. FBI investigation requirement of all Supreme court justices before confirmation and these must be made public. No one that is in the cabinet, the president, judges or congressmen may be felons. This will preclude them from holding any of these offices. NO ONE is IMMUNE from their actions as we have no kings, the max we may have is war time actions with parameters on what that is and is not.

Congress holds the purse so the President may not declare war or tariffs without the majority vote of Congress.

Before shareholders get profits they must give 20% of profits to employees. 15% to those at Director or below and 5% to above this level. NON-educational institutions CEOs can only make 9x what the lowest employees make like in Japan. Universities Heads and Hedge fund managers can only make 5x what the lowest employees make (supplemented with tax dollars) all employees must be given at least a NON-profit healthcare insurance option.

Encourage & educate companies about NON-profit healthcare insurance companies as they spend 90% of profits on keeping people healthy and NON-denying claims vs FOR profit denying claims and un-aliving thousands of people every year.

Business owners must pay a minimum of 20% taxes up front to govt after that the taxes they owe may be offset with debt to reinvest in the company or trusts, etc.

Monopolies of more than 15% market share will be broken up along with those that have overlapping goals. ie you can’t own trains, cars b/c vested interest in making one go under so the other can thrive. Media is NOT to be overlapping either NO one should have access to control more than 15% newspaper, magazine, social sharing apps platforms. If you own these platforms you can NOT CENSOR 1st amendment speech that is NON-violent. Owners who do this will be forced to sell to other owners NOT blocking free speech. Or we will have an amendment like Mexico fining those that engage in disinformation propaganda.

Many changes need to be made if we get past this constitutional crisis that has many culprits like Alt right/tech bros stoking fear and anger with misinformation for decades and a supreme court that is lead by someone who is violating the constitution by giving immunity to Jan 6. If you can overturn Roe you can reverse immunity. Once we get through this we also need an equal rights amendment that men and women are both have rights to their own bodies without need to ask permission from anyone about getting birth control or healthcare. Denying healthcare that costs the life of the woman is MURDER. NEITHER women nor men can be denied equal access to voting which means a marriage certificate is proof of identity when added to divers license, birth certificate, SS or passport. (voter suppression is illegal). It will be illegal to marry before the age of 18 preventing child brides. Unelected officials can not dismantle government entities.

While Leo thought that there was a good deal of fun in tumblr adopting the stylistic rules of House of Leaves, even in posts not directly about the book, he thought that this could be extended further. For instance, the site could adopt the style of The Neverending Story and alternate between red texts when describing things that happen in the “main” level of the text while using green text to refer to a story-within-a-story. Perhaps clever expectation-reversal in color use could be employed to great effect; for example, by suggesting the difference between levels of story were more nebulous than could otherwise be communicated. Leo was sure there were fancy academic terms to describe these different levels more usefully, but he had never shown much interest in any literary field until his final years of education. He bemoaned taking only two courses in English, both of them too niche for much wider applicability and certainly no help in communicating his thoughts in a known framework. Frustrated, he turned back to his Simulatometer-9000. Plugging in the right parameters, he sat back, eagerly looking forwards to seeing the machine’s prediction for what such fontological plans would lead to.

And so the brave tumblr-user, penning his thoughts entirely in the shades of cheerful green and candy-red that the tumblr mobile app allowed, discovered to his dismay that his writings were not being interpreted as he anticipated. Rather than connecting his stylistic choice to The Neverending Story, the audience instead thought it all to be in reference to The Dread Work, which unbeknownst to many had itself made many seemingly random stylistic choices in order to echo, incorporate, and comment on Michael Ende’s work. Green was interpreted not with the land of Fantasia but with a saccharine fanartist, Red not with the real world but with a murderous villain. Confusingly, the color associations with these characters did not even appear to be consistent within the story. Nevertheless, the use of red and green served similar ends in Hussie’s odious compendium, coating the words of the two figures as they performed both as author figures and audience surrogates in a way that collapsed both the perceived difference between the two roles as well as the sets of behaviors they each represented.

But unfortunately for the brave tumblr-user, the associations these two Caliginous entities carried with them were not quite the same as the ones he intended, yet were similar enough that legible but unintended readings of his commentary were entirely possible. Suddenly the brave user’s thoughts on recursion in stories were being interpreted as commentaries on the author function, his thoughts on how to view a story in the context of its intertexts interpreted as musings on the consequences of reading a work through the lens of fandom.

Moreover, many people were unfamiliar both with The Neverending Story and Homestuck, only knowing that the latter made heavy use of brightly-colored text. Many thus scrolled past, assuming that the brave user was rp-ing characters they knew to avoid learning of. Others assumed that, much like many netizens who grew up on Hussie’s Scribblings adopted a “writing quirk,” the user was unthinkingly using an affectation in an annoying manner. The user fell to his knees, bemoaning his ill fortune, cursing the name of the one who made brightly-colored text as a formatting element played-out.

“Huh,” Leo said looking up from the simulation, “it looks like typing in that style wouldn’t work as well as I thought.” He rose, glad he had not wasted time pursuing his colorful plans as the brave user in his simulation had. Then the Minotaur got him.

Horoscope for Tuesday, December 24, 2024

Aries (March 21-April 19) - An average day

You feel pulled between feeling friendly and outgoing on the one hand, and yet attracted to the desire to be alone on the other hand. At different times, we all have these contradictions. Therefore, be careful about the promises you make or whatever you agree to. Be realistic.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - An average day

Your desire to travel and explore the world and reach out for exciting adventure is tempered by obligations to a friend, or a group. Or possibly, someone older is critical of you or holding you back in some way? You can handle this dance because you are the financial wizard of the zodiac.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20) - A positive day

You feel playful, upbeat and energetic. However, parents, authority figures and older family members have requirements that you have to meet, and it seems whatever they are, these requirements might clip your wings a bit. Look for a happy compromise. Enjoy what you can, and meet the expectations of others.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) - An average day

Be cooperative with partners and close friends today. And be patient with others because you need more sleep right now, and if you’re not getting extra sleep, you could be cranky or moody.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22) - An average day

Playful opportunities and invitations from friends, groups and organizations might come your way; however, financial restrictions and obligations could limit your chance to enjoy these social outings. This could be a disappointment. Fortunately, your focus on work and relations with partners is excellent.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22) - An average day

Today it’s tough balancing your need for play, fun diversions and entertaining adventures with your obligations to others. You are caught in the classic scenario of: “what the large print giveth, the small print taketh away.” Good luck.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22) - An average day

You might have to delay travel plans and chances to explore exciting opportunities because of work or health obligations. Or perhaps, limitations based on health issues or taking care of a pet. This is one of those days where you can’t have it all.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21) - An average day

This could be a good day to explore getting a mortgage or financial backing or a loan because you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others right now. Gifts and goodies might come your way. However, restrictions, perhaps with your kids, might cloud the picture with obligations you can’t ignore.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21) - An average day

Today you want the freedom to do your own thing, especially to relate to those who are close to you, as well as members of the general public. Nevertheless, responsibilities related to home and family will restrict your actions and choices. Cope with this as best you can given these restrictive parameters.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19) - An average day

Even though issues related to your job and your health are promising at the moment, in another part of the forest, job changes, residential moves and difficulty in dealing with relatives and neighbors could create some problems. You will have to make choices.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18) - An average day

Financial limitations might restrict you today in your social options, especially when it comes to fun diversions with friends, exploring the arts and the entertainment world, sports events and fun activities with children. Find ways to have fun that cost less. Don’t increase your debt.

Pisces (Feb 19 - March 20) - An average day

Family gatherings and interactions with relatives and people at home will be positive and friendly today. Nevertheless, your laid-back, easygoing style could be at odds with someone who is taking control and over planning things. You knew this would happen. Do what you can to keep the peace.
