The meaning of chart patterns in astrology

Seesaw pattern: it feels like these natives are constantly being pulled in two different directions in their lives, reflected by the planets situated on the opposing ends of the astrological wheel, forming two clusters. This may lead to feeling disoriented and/or maybe attracting situations where the natives’ real values are being called into question.

Their life is characterised by duality, sometimes expressing the energies of one planetary cluster, and other times behaving unexpectedly or in a contradictory fashion (when the energy of the other cluster is being expressed).

You may also find that you identify more with one “end” of the seesaw and have the tendency to deny/reject the other part of yourself that you find less desirable.

Relationships likely mean a great deal to you and it’s only in relationships that you feel truly complete and balanced. You may be unconsciously seeking the very same energy in other people that you deny within yourself.

It’s important: to accept that there are contradictory sides to your personality and integrate them as best as you can. Aim to achieve balance. Some people may find it weird. But this is what it means to be you. And if you learn how to properly utilise your gifts, you’ll be able to accomplish absolutely extraordinary things! Look at Robert Downey Jr. and Frank Sinatra’s charts for inspiration🫶

Bowl pattern: these people have solid values, are stable and probably have a good grasp of their weaknesses. There may be a reluctance to get out of their comfort zone and they may always feel like “something” is missing from their life (the other half of the wheel). They will be looking for that special half that makes them feel complete.

They aren’t dual or contradictory like the see-saw or splay people, but rather constant and they have specific talents and attributes that are reflected in the houses their planets fall into and.

They may not be as flexible or open to change as other patterns. They are focused, resilient and self-contained typically. There may be a need to develop certain qualities that they miss.

Depending on which side of the wheel is occupied, it manifests differently in the native’s life. If the upper half is occupied: there is more focus on external activities: social gatherings, public image etc. If the lower half of the wheel is occupied, the emphasis will be on the family, home, closer relationships, the self. If the planets fall on the right side of the wheel, the person will be easier to influence, and personal relationships will be quintessential to the native’s well-being. And finally if the planets are all on the left side of the wheel, the person will be enterprising, self-motivated and with a strong direction in their life.

Special attention should be given to the leading planet, that is to say the first one that is situated counterclockwise starting from the empty space.

Dominik Cruz and Ella Fitzgerald had this chart pattern.

Locomotive pattern: these people are independent and self-starters. They have a thinking of their own and often may feel misunderstood. Their ideas are ahead of their time usually. They can be motivational and quite stubborn. They are ambitious and steadfast people who have quite a few interests. Their focus is not as narrow as with bundle type. They are energetic people who want to improve the world around them and may feel a constant sense of “emptiness”, as though something is missing in their life.

It’s important to look at the first planet that rises clockwise starting from the empty space. It will significantly influence the native’s life.

George Washington and Isaac Newton had this chart pattern.

Bundle pattern: the native’s focus is oriented in limited, very specific areas of their life, in detriment to other important areas. They are very focused and driven people who usually become proeficient, real masters in whatever activity/job they have chosen for themselves.

There could be a tendency to be narrow-minded, rigid or unusually ignorant in areas outside of their interest range with this pattern however. Obsessive thoughts and behaviours are also possible. It’s an excellent chart type for a professional athlete, politician or car mechanic for example, depending on the houses and signs.

These people are passionate, unique, strongly hold onto their identities and are relentless when pursuing their chosen goal. They might feel like “something” is missing in their life and they need someone who teaches them to think outside the box and help them develop their weaker energies in their chart.

Harrison Ford and Sylvester Stallone had this chart pattern.

Splay pattern: these people are incredibly talented and have lots of potential. Their interests are in 3-4 areas and they may sometimes find it difficult to concentrate as their attention is quite divided. They are individualistic, inquisitive and open-minded people who have the potential to achieve great things if they “pull themselves together”. Their talents could be unrelated to one another and they may fight it hard to integrate their strengths into something concrete/tangible.

Some call this chart pattern the tripod.

These natives definitely march to the rhythm of their own drums. They are adaptable people who make interesting conversation partners.

They don’t like strict schedules or being stuck into routine for too long.

The aim should be on correctly distributing their focus so that they properly develop their talents and live up to their potential.

Franklin Roosevelt and Sandra Bullock had/have this chart pattern.

Splash pattern: these people’s talents are incredibly diverse. They are open-minded, inquisitive, curious people. They enjoy exploring different ideas, activities. The love new things and probably have lots of hobbies and interests. Choosing one career option is probably very difficult for them. They don’t like to focus on one single activity for too long, contrary to bundle pattern people. Their attention is very divided. They can be forgetful at times.

They likely have mercurial qualities and can easily adapt to almost any situation. They make very flexible people.

They can be quite confused especially during their youth or feel like they can’t find their direction in life. There is a desire for self-reflection and independence inherent within this placement. Many famous thinkers such as Carl Jung and Firjof Capra had this chart pattern.

They may have trouble focusing or be scattered due to which they never develop any of their talents deeply and fully. Their outlook on life is broad and brain-oriented.

Bucket pattern: these people are ambitious, enterprising, passionate, self-contained; they pursue their goals in a realistic fashion. It’s important to look at the planet that plays the role of the handle as it will play an important role in the natives’s life (the sign and house, major aspects).

They want to be recognised for their talents and be part of society in some way; they likely focus their attention in a single direction when trying to achieve their goals. The “handle” signifies the area of their life where they invest most of their energy or where they seek satisfaction.

They could be predisposed to conflict or do their best to avoid it.

Their challenge is learning to manage the energy of the “handle.”

Like with the bowl pattern they could at times feel like something is missing in their life.

Will Smith and Prince Charles have this chart pattern.

maybe it's the like npd/aspd but my brain automatically categorizes people into like little classes. like I meet a person and as I get to know them they get sorted. like there's a class for younger female sibling type friend, a class for older male person who I like but barely speak to, a class for doctors and medical professionals, a class for people my age who are like me, a class for people my age who are nothing like me, etc. and my brain has a predetermined set of mannerisms and vocabulary for interacting with each one

[vaguely-concerned]

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

butches who find themselves relating to fictional dudes in the absence of butch representation: what type of guy do you most often find yourself relating to? is there an archetype you feel most closely represents your experience? just curious

[starcurtain]

I think that meme about Genshin's two character archetypes being "Boy With Trauma" and "Girl With Job" is still the funniest and unfunniest thing about the game.

Like, here we are at the tail-end of Natlan and they're still serving us "Escoffier's personality is chef" and "Ifa has generational trauma inherited from the unresolved grief of his family's internecine conflict which led to the death of innocent animals."

Okay, I'm kidding, but being serious, if we had a nickel for every time "gainfully employed" was the primary character trait of a Genshin female character, we would have... a lot of nickels.

On the one hand: Hilarious. Every single society in Teyvat is being hard carried by its female workforce.

On the other hand: I wish that more of the female cast was given fully realized backstories outside of their assigned professions.

Like, more of the women should get to have tragic, wild pasts (or presents!) that have bearing on both their character development arcs and the plot of the game itself. You know, as a treat.

Prompt 262

Pondering Ghosts are Dragons, and just rotating each design in my head I have for them. That is the ghosts we see in the show more than just once or twice lol. Just pondering each of them and potential types and descriptions and how the people of Amity see them, as they’re used to the dragons around, vs say someone from Outside, crossover or no, who are Not used to the maybe slightly eldritch undeath interdimensional dragons around everywhere. 

That is not normal for other people. 

To the Amity Parkers? Boxy is simply a chonky dragon with small boxy wings and covered in blue scales. To people just coming into the city, it’s like seeing a giant komodo dragon when you’re just walking home- not something you exactly want to see and something that is dangerous. 

Kitty’s and Johnny’s weekly relationship tussle? Par for the course really. But to visitors? Two giant wyverns tearing into each other, shimmering greens that could be scales, could be tendrils, and shadows lengthening and thrashing like a living beast all its own. 

And this is just the small dragonlings, not even beginning with larger ones like Pandora and Fright Knight, chill as they may be. 

Outsiders don’t understand that they’re more than just animals. Amity is used to this, but people who have no clue what’s going on? They don’t.

They call the police, the heroes, the government, for help, for answers. And that? That the GIW can use.

New Narrator fanart!! This time for @bugenthusiast0’s Narrator!!!

I went through a bit of trial and error to get this one right but in the end I’m very happy with how it turned out!

I love @bugenthusiast0’s use of proportion for the design along with the colors! His Narrator is just so jolly looking and I really wanted to try and capture that joy! I say this for everyone’s narrators but she looks so so huggable I just wanna squeeze them! I’m a very big fan of how bug like the whole design is too! You have the obvious parts like the abdomen and antenna, the more subtle fangs and claws, and then the design of the outfit. The suit jacket very much reminds me of an insects carapace in the same way The Other Mother’s outfit does.

Pluto Aspects - Why You Can't Sleep At Night

Inspired by the poll I did as I found it cool that people would be so interested in this topic. I am really into sleep and dream astrology because I get WACKY dreams

Did some of these with tarot as I haven't personally observed every one. However I find my deck to be very accurate regards personality and these all seemed to fit so as always take what resonates and leave the rest

What's more, in the modern world we identify a lot with our conscious mind and are our of sync with our subconscious and instincts. Paying attention to your sleep and tuning back into your sleep cycle can help you become more aware of this and your intuition too.

As a permaculture designer I have a lot of observations on how we are out of touch with nature and our more holistic side loosely compiled in this masterlist here.

Conjunct:

Sun - you identify too much with your dreams

Mercury - you may feel hampered or hounded by memories of things you wish you had or hadn't said

Moon - old emotions and things you'd rather not feel come up at night...

Venus - you can't stop thinking of what you want to manifest

Mars - you are too wound up during the day and carry the unconscious energy of 1000 things you wish hadn't happened

Opposition:

Sun - you feel worried by your dreams or what you might discover when your mind as no distractions

Mercury - you feel like you are out of tune with yourself and carry too many pressures from other people

Moon - you are one of the most likely ones to experience weird feelings, energies, or desires when you get into bed and try to fall asleep. sometimes there is an odd atmosphere in the room.

Venus - you feel inadequate or apprehensive about your worth and value. subconscious insecurity

Mars - you have pent up anger that you haven't released and may get too involved in fantasies where you come out on top

Square:

Sun - there is something unconfirmed, in conflict, hidden, or unfinished about your identity

Mercury - you are experiencing a subconscious or spiritual blockage at the moment

Moon - you are scared of somethig about yourself

Venus - you feel like your worth or value is judged or like you may be missing or hiding part of your value from yourself

Mars - the well known mars pluto aspect, this can keep you awake because you feel persecuted, hunted or harassed in your waking life. by focussing on your root (if you can) and grounding and centering yourself you can approach and manage this difficult aspect with more spiritual strength

Trine:

Sun - you are kept up because you have too many ideas or feel inspired. Alternatively you may be kept up thinking about what other people think of you :/

Mercury - You may be excited by new possibilities and kept up due to too much focus on spiritual things without grounding. This aspect can get REALLY deep into stuff like astral projection etc.

Moon - you may feel overwhelmed and unable to interpret your own emotions

Venus - something or someone from a past life is influencing or visiting you

Mars - you have got into an intense or dark relationship that, while fulfilling, may be overwhelming you

Moon Men Fashion and Style

Moon nakshatra men, as a whole, favor dress that is just a notch above everyday casual. They lean toward structured silhouettes and muted or worn-in hues rather than bright, trendy shades. It is usually that they are either wearing pastels or very toned-down colors like beige, tan, gray, or brown. The fabrics they wear usually show a touch of age or comfortability, such as faded denim, polyester, softly worn cotton, plain tees, or gently brushed wool. Overall, you’ll spot cleaner lines, subtle texture, and colors pulled from an older, less saturated palette.

Wearing black seems to be quite popular among them as well, especially when it comes to Rohini and their appreciation of leather. Interestingly, I found out that Marlon Brando was the first to popularize the “biker” look with his iconic leather jacket, so I thought it would have been connected to Mercury or Revati. However, the man that actually made the jacket and was the first to do so in that specific style was Rohini man Irving Schott. It just goes to show that while anyone can indulge in other peoples’ creations and make them popular, only you have the power to channel your specific unique blend of energy to actually make something new and have it be yours. That said, no one can really own anything. All knowledge is already known, and we are just constantly in the process of reawakening to it. Enjoy what you can make on account of your innate creativity without getting possessive.

Moon men sometimes dress in a way that I like to say is "teasing.” Think compression shirts that highlight muscle contours without actually showing anything, low neck lines or open chests that let you just barely see the pecs, flowing garments that reveal details of their body if the wind hits it just right, material you can almost see through but not completely, sleeveless tops or vests, etc. Hasta is probably the most prone to this, since they seem to like European aesthetics that are much more stripped down. Rohini is usually into more rugged looks, and Shravana seems to like long coats and classical or even more bulky masculine looks. I wouldn’t be surprised if these men started the trend of “grey sweatpants season.”

When it comes to dressing in a way that is teasing, I find this influences how people treat these men. People respond like they are frustrated, almost like they want to scream “just take it off!” People can be sexually aggressive towards these men, and most of the time this presents as being very touchy-feely and violating their personal space. Moon men tend to be objectified quite a bit, in fact (despite being really nerdy and withdrawn a lot of the time), and in media where they are are subject to the command of a director, better believe there will be a scene where they strip down to their underwear or nothing at all, for no real reason. One example of this is Tom Holland in the movie Spider-Man homecoming. There was no reason for him to do that scene at all, much less almost completely nude, but the director made him do it. These men lean into it a lot of the time though because they love being worshipped/admired, and playful sexual allure is a way that accomplish that. These men are weird when it comes to this topic though. They love being admired but hate being objectified. Moon women are the same way.

When I think of Rohini, I think of a style where Western adventure meets modern-day outlaw.

When I think of Hasta, I think summer in Italy, playboy stoner/hedonist.

When I think of Shravana, I think victorian-era flair combined with modern formal comfort.

Important consideration: none these are to be confused with the much more solar safari style.

Starlight express cosplayers/costume knowers, can someone explain Pearl’s skirt to me !!?

(Japan tour pictures cause she’s the pearl I’m cosplaying)

I’m trying to make my Pearl cosplay handmade enough to submit into convention contests so I’m trying to sew the leggings, skirt, and observation panel as well as craft the belt, shoulders, and protective gear! Now I’ve made patterns for the shoulders, belt, and observation panel and I’ve got patterns for the leggings but I cannot even begin to figure out the skirt!! First off, I can’t figure out what type of skirt it would be considered, second I also can’t figure out how to even start patterning it…

why is there something about a U.S. election year that makes everyone online meaner and stupider on a large scale even outside of political posting

[todayisdeadinside]

i get that everyone is worried this stunt is gonna last a year because of how hard theyre pushing it, but i think its good to keep in mind that even the GP is hardly believing it. the GP is who they need convinced. and if they simply cant get the GP to believe it, theyll have to give up. if the reactions keep going the way theyve been going, pushing this stunt further is only going to explode the gay louis rumours and knowledge of it being a stunt. i know the people behind these sorts of things arent usually the brightest crayons in the box, but id like to think theyre smart enough to see when something is going catastrophically in the wrong direction.
