Astro Propaganda I'm Not Falling For

1. Gemini anything indicates beauty -

It doesn't. Nothing about Gemini is related to beauty. Mercury, in fact, is kinda related to crooked things.

That misconception comes from two things:

That Gemini is related to youth.

And that Gemini is social and sociable.

But for starters, youth isn't necessarily equal to beauty. It can be quite unsightly to see somebody's who's clearly their age, but with an overly youthful face. Ariana Grande struggled with that for 6 years until she got enough plastic surgery to change it. It really affected her career in the beginning.

And also, being sociable doesn't make you pretty. It might make you charming, but that's not equal to physical beauty. So it's less about being beautiful, and more about being captivating and pleasant to be around.

I'm not saying Gemini is ugly either. I'm just saying it's not any type of beauty indicator. So those who claim Gemini placements indicate physical beauty, are incorrect.

That could also be a misconception derived from the fact that because of the proximity between Gemini and Taurus, people with Gemini placements are likely to also have Taurus and Cancer placements, including Venus.

2. That Aquarius placements are divinely protected over others because Saturn delivers karma for them -

Truth be told? Capricorn is more likely to win over Aquarius. Aquarius isn't the sister sign to Leo for nothing. They are similar. And Aquarius has quite the ego.

So what happens is that Aquarius is more likely to get PUNISHED by Saturn than it is to get protected or rewarded. You know that whole story about how Saturnians deliver karma, but they also get judged harder as well? That's Aquarius.

Aquarius placements can often have a god-complex, and Saturn will snatch that shit right up, but they would never let you see it in public, cause they gotta appear cool and collected. Sometimes their enemies DO get a bite back from life, but by that time, the Aquarius has eaten a mighty pie of humble. Except that to the public they'll pretend that they still got the upper hand. They might even brag.

With aquarius, no good deed goes unpunished. They might win, but that victory will always come with a high personal price that they will hide from others. It's like Saturn teaches them humility and fairness through making them pay for the good they receive, till they get that rewards are not something they just deserve for being the best, but rather something earned.

They'll often see a fall down right after a victory. It's like Saturn keeps the ego in check by reminding Aquarius that it's still human and shouldn't let the win go to their head. So it will dampen the thrill of the victory by throwing a challenge right after, even if the Aquarius deserves the victory. e.g.: how Megan Thee Stallion dragged Nicki to the high heavens in public, but is also currently going through it herself. (I'm not making any moral judgements about Meg, just saying she faced hurdles right after a public victory).

3. That Mercury in Virgo and Gemini are always the superior intellect -

Aside from the fact that all mercuries have their potentialities and challenges – some more than others –, some mercuries tend to rival the mercurial signs, and sometimes even beat them. It all depends on house and aspects too.

An example of that would be Scorpio Mercury. Specially if it's placed in certain houses. That's a Mercury that is extremely attuned to fine details, picks up things before people even think them, and has the everlasting memory of an elephant. They aren't the detectives and stalkers of the zodiac for no reason. And they are very sharp too. So, often, Scorpio Mercuries will be the only ones capable of standing up to Virgo placements. They sting, they sting viciously, and they can always back up what they're saying.

And if that Scorpio Mercury also has 3rd, 9th, 10th or Sagittarius placements, they will put Gemini mercuries to the challenge, because unlike the twins, they know a lot about a lot. Gemini mercuries know a little about a lot, but they always hit a ceiling, cause sometimes it's surface level, or stuff they became obsessed with that morning. They struggle more with creating a large-scale database than a Virgo Mercury would, for example. They're not as good at making correlations, bc they can sometimes know the separate parts well, but not how to piece them together or what they would look like when all connected. A Scorpio Mercury will build a whole network of information and deep research. They want to master as much as they can to have full power going. Everything they do will be done with depth. And that can see both the small and big picture. Every information they acquire becomes yet another piece of a large puzzle, rather than a bunch of tiny puzzles that don't necessarily connect together.

But that doesn't mean Gemini is shallow, or that Virgo isn't very intelligent!

Best thing is for them and mercurials to be friends rather than competitors, cause they will strike to kill at all times.

4. That planets in detriment are very distant and opposite to the planet's natural energy -

I've made this point before when talking about Scorpio Venus, but I see it with many planets and signs. Planets in detriment often EXACERBATE the energy of that planet, not negate it. Blocking that energy is more often the fall.

A Venus in Scorpio will not be detached from love, but will rather OVERDO love. It becomes obsessive in what Venus naturally does.

A Mercury in Sagittarius will not struggle to learn or think, but will rather get an overload of information both taking and giving it, to the point in which it becomes disorganized.

A Saturn in Cancer will not struggle to carry things through, but will rather struggle to put them into motion when the time comes. It will be TOO careful and structured.

You get the idea. Detriment placement is about calibrating the energy, rather than awakening it altogether.

5. That the 7th house is only the energy you attract and seek in others -

The 7H is our mirror. It's the shadow part of us. The projections we make. If you look at your 7H and analyze yourself and your relationships, you'll notice that you often assume the characteristics of that sign, but only when you're in close 1-on-1 relationships. You won't unsee it once you notice. Analyze the people you live with too.

e.g.: Libra risings will be charismatic and inviting and charming with everybody, but can be very aggressive towards their significant other and can often take out their anger on their partner. While Aries risings will be brassy and fearless and confrontational with most people, but will be simps for their partners and can often hide parts of themselves to accommodate the ones they love and keep the harmony, sometimes even accepting abuse.

Cancer risings can be very demanding and strict with their partner, while Capricorn risings can become very sensitive and dramatic with their partner.

There's a reason for that, and if you want, let me know in the comments and I can make an specific post about just one of these points.

That does not mean you don't still embody your rising sign, because you do, but you'll often tone down, mask or deny that energy in favor of the connection. The key is to balance both energies so you express yourself in a healthy way, and let one sign learn from the best of the other.

Where people hating on the signs comes from... 🔥

THIS IS NOT ABOUT INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE.

It's not about people with those sun signs, but rather the expression of the energy of the signs in the placements (all planets and risings).

Sometimes it says more about others, sometimes it speaks more about the person themselves. Every individual is different and unique.

This post is about what reactions can be triggered most commonly when people struggle with those placements in others.

Aries:

When people hate on Aries traits, it's usually deserved, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, there's nuance and context to everything in life, and nobody deserves unprovoked abuse. But Aries carries impulsive energy with it in whatever it touches, and ruffling some feathers is bound to happen with them, without them even realizing. By the time they catch on, they've already upset people.

Taurus:

When people hate on Taurus traits, it's usually out of exhaustion. Taurus is very slow-paced, and that applies to both positive and negative things. The rut people most often go into with Taurus is getting tired out by waiting on them, whether it's waiting for the big payoff, because Taurus is meticulous when building something great, or waiting for the Taurus to admit guilt after they've wronged someone or made a mistake. It's the waiting and waiting and waiting for Taurus to move that causes the most discord.

Gemini:

When people hate on Gemini energy it usually comes from feeling suffocated. I know! Shocking to read. Gemini is so often painted as fleeting and unreliable and deathly afraid of routine that it might be weird to think of them as suffocating, but they can be very consuming of whatever space they occupy. From doing way too much to wanting to be a part of every single thing, even the things they were not invited to, to talking over people constantly... It can create this sense that Gemini energy has to be the center of attention and demanding space and focus all the time, and that can feel very suffocating for others.

Cancer:

When people hate on Cancer energy, it's usually out of trauma-trigger, honestly. Cancer has a way to both passively and directly force emotion onto people. What I mean by that is that they force people to exercise emotional endurance, and let's not romanticize that. Bringing up uncomfortable stories, dense conversations, reacting dramatically, victimizing themselves, emotionally manipulating – on the negative –, or even simply prying into people's emotions to try to help without being asked to, or trying to bond emotionally – on the positive –, that can force people to confront emotions that aren't ready or comfortable to feel at that moment. This can feel overwhelming.

Leo:

When people hate on Leo energy, it's most likely out of insecurity. Despite what you might hear out there, Leo placement people will seldom be hating on other Leo placements expressing Leo energy. In fact, they might actually love it and feel it's a breath of fresh air. Because Leos don't be bothered about other people shining when they know they shine themselves. Now, the other people feeling insecure that they won't shine... Imagine that being confronted with a Leo energy getting attention just because. Or rather, Leo energy just being themselves and that taking up space in the world around them, naturally. That'll trigger insecure people faster than a mother's backhanded compliment. Leos match Leos. Perhaps it's not them doing too much, it's others doing too little.

Virgo:

When people hate on Virgo energy it's usually out of annoyance. Virgo energy aims at "helpful" and hits at "bitter" 25/8. The real dark and gloomies of the Zodiac, not Scorpio. And the worst part is that a lot of them don't even wanna be that way. They just feel bothered a lot and it's a painful experience they can't control well, which in turn makes them feel even more unbalanced, which makes them more on edge to compensate and that just spirals endlessly. Yeah, they hate messy people but, most humans are messy. At some point, we have to find a flow and move on with life. So people don't really like to be reminded constantly that something's out of balance, because for most, perfection is impossible to achieve and shouldn't be an obstacle.

Libra:

When people hate on Libra energy it's most likely due to a lack of emotional responsibility. "But how can that be? Libra is such a diplomatic sign!" Right. And all that diplomacy comes from never really engaging with the real gritty of things and taking a stance. It's superficial connection. The second it gets real or demands accountability it becomes a chore. Why would they bother when they can just walk away and go mingle with 20 other people, and rinse and repeat as many times as it takes? Not taking side is actually quite an aggressive and violent move sometimes, because that entails victimizing someone repeatedly for the sake of not compromising one's own social security. It can get very selfish and self-preserving, which is a lot emotionally irresponsible when you're trying to touch so many people's lives.

Scorpio:

When people hate on Scorpio energy it is often out of ego and projection. Scorpio alchemizes dark and dense energy, and as a Martian, Scorpio brings it out by force. Most people will not take kindly to being called out; specially on things they thought they were hiding so well they even hide it from themselves. Scorpio makes them feel judged and like a failure. And that doesn't even have to be verbally or openly. Sometimes, Scorpio energy just has to be themselves around people, and that creates a contrast with others' behavior, and in that contrast it is revealed that the way the other people were conducting themselves was not sustainable for much longer. It feels like the Scorpio is pointing it out and calling them the problem, by indirectly asking them to step up and face deeper things. Scorpio also has a tendency to bring up rough topics before people are ready to tackle them, and avoidance becomes impossible in the presence of Scorpio energy.

Sagittarius:

When people hate on Sagittarius energy it's either very right or very wrong. Either Sagittarius energy is doing too much, or other people aren't doing enough. It's Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, but also excess. Another thing is that Sagittarius energy can sometimes make others feel dumb. It's not Gemini, it's not Virgo, it's not Aquarius... the mercurials got nothing on Sagittarius energy when it comes to making other people feel like ignorant imbeciles. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes accidentally. The mercurials and Aquarius can make others feel dumb out of a superiority complex. Sagittarius just be talking endlessly about all ranges of topics, material and metaphysical, engaging deeply into discussions, and ready to blurt out anthing, without necessarily needing to have you thinking they're smart. They know they are. It doesn't seek the validation or power. It wants to learn. What Sagittarius energy lacks is awareness to understand that not everybody is on the same path as them, and it can throttle ahead, bulldozing anything on its path.

Capricorn:

When people hate on Capricorn energy it's usually out of a lack of order in their life. Capricorn energy doesn't care how anyone feels about it. It cares about the end goal, it cares about the optimal results. It's got the delayed gratification sense that never seems to end. It's always delaying the gratification for some big reward that never gets enjoyed because another big reward takes its place as soon as something is reached. So Capricorn energy always has a project and course of action in mind, in all planes of life. People who feel aimless will tend to do very poorly with that energy around them. It won't feel like something to admire, but rather something to avoid being.

Aquarius:

When people hate on Aquarius energy it's usually out of prejudice. It's a type of energy that lacks tact and social skills, so it can behave in very erratic, sometimes downright offensive or standoffish ways, and it gets judged and dismissed very rapidly. Even the most expansive and extroverted of Aquarius energy will still be socially inapt one way or another and rub people the wrong way (look at Megan Thee Stallion). Whether it's their appearance, their aesthetic, their ideas or their behavior. Aquarius energy requires a lot of grace from other people, and it's not often that people will try to look beneath the surface and hunt for buried treasure.

Pisces:

When people hate on Pisces energy it's most likely out of repressed anger and built up resentment. Pisces energy can be very deceiving, which means it will have people fooled and lost for ages until the curtain drops, and by the time that drop happens, people feel like they were gaslighted so much they are furious, and to make matters worse, Pisces energy gaslighted itself too into believing it, so it will act confused, aloof and ditzy about people's reaction, and that will set off an even worse delayed response. There's also a sense of impatience here too. Like Pisces energy is just floating around endlessly, while others just want to set foot in reality and it's like "WHEN are you gonna wake up and catch up?", but to the Pisces energy, time is just an abstract concept, and it's in no rush. That usually means a very rude awakening, coming from an explosive reaction from others after keeping it in for so long.

Astro Observations (LGBTQ+ Synastry edition 1)

Hi, everyone! Hope you are doing well!

So, for this series I thought I'd take a specific look at synastry between queer couples.

Most of astrology is built around heteronormativity, and things like synastry get adapted to fit queer people, but from the basic hetero information we have. Some of it works; some of it does not.

So I decided to explore different possibilities, so that we can have a more broad and varied list of info to look into. I will be doing several parts to this, ranging from planets, to signs, to house overlays. And perhaps aspects.

DISCLAIMER: As usual, these are just POSSIBILITIES. They are not rule, and they do not apply to all like the law. Also, individual natal charts MUST BE LOOKED AT AS A WHOLE.

These are my personal observations and findings, and I am always happy to take different input and experiences, so that I can continue building what I know. As I learn, I will be adding more information to posts.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

PLANETS

Sun -

I noticed that Sun does take a bit more relevance in queer relationships.

All in all, the sun isn't one of the most important planets in synastry, but when it comes to queer dynamics, it seems to be more relevant.

Gay men/masculines - Sun-Sun synastry seems to be relevant here. Specially regarding the aspects.

In gay synastry, I notice that recognition and affinity is very prominent. Men need to feel like the other guy is like him. They need to feel a sense of friendship and kinship.

The sun is a large portion of our ego. So when their suns are in positive aspects (trine or sextile), even if just by degree, men tend to feel attracted. Oppositions may or may not work, depends on their natal charts. Squares are always a no.

Lesbians/feminines - Complimentary Suns, I notice to be the most prominent feature regarding sun synastry between them. In terms of signs/elements.

Women seem to be more into a push and pull dynamic, but not exactly opposites. They want difference between them, but also similarity, so that the purposes are aligned. So combinations between signs in the same element or complimentary elements (water-earth, fire-air) are they most common occupance.

Also, friendship is less of a component of their relationships. So feminines don't necessarily need to be friends before dating, or even feel like their partner is their "friend" a lot of the time. Instead, there's a stronger "familial bond" between them. It's less looking for a buddy, and more looking for a housemate.

Moon -

Because of the nature of being queer, emotional safety is a big component of what makes up a relationship between non-hetero couples.

Moons aspects tend to be more revealing of the shadows of the relationships than the light, though, it seems. So I would argue that it's less likely to have a moon synastry that only shows up good results. Often, it will be a mix of the good and bad of the moon placements.

Gay men/masculines - For men, believe it or not, the more toxic or challenging aspects of the moons tend to breed attraction. They can feel like the conflicting energies represent passion, and it can feel exciting or motivating to conquer, like there will be a big payoff.

It's either that, or the complete opposite, and they seek immense emotional compatibility, so moon conjunct moon or at least in the same sign. Again - having the same moon can lead to emotional exaggeration and fight for dominance too, besides the emotional sameness. Like I said, both aspects - good and bad - tend to manifest.

There's a need to heal or be healed by one another.

Common occurrences are: moon opposite moon, moon square moon, moon in challenging houses (4th, 8th, 12th), or the same moon. Trines tend to be felt as boring.

Lesbians/feminines - Similar to men with the sun, the moon represents the ego for women in these relationships, and therefore, it's where they derive their bond from.

I noticed that a lot of the time, queer feminines tend to look for moon opposition between them, but rather more by sign than by degree. It's not so much opposition specifically, but more like dissonance, which can include opposition. The thing is that they seek very different energies between them, to a point in which they have very defined roles in their relationship (e.g.: the impulsive one and the organized one| the aggressive-possessive one and the submissive-nurturing one| the quiet one and the expansive one etc.)

They like the difference between them, as sort of an emotional need for balance and stability. Different natures account for different aspects of the relationship, which means all bases covered. Woman adapt well to emotions, so moon is also a big planet when it comes to sexual compatibility.

Mercury -

Of course there's all types of experiences and relationships, but I notice a lot of occurrences in which Mercury is more of a problem than a unifier.

We have to understand the deeply psychological nature of queer relationships, considering that LGBTQ+ people live in a binary heteronormative society, but at the same time, existing "outside of it". So the role models of being human are all binary and heteronormative. Queer relationships demand a lot of working through emotional wounds, traditional roles, expectations, dreams of fitting the queer reality into the non-queer molds... But also having all of those feelings unprocessed and unexpressed. So communication is simultaneously a MUST and a struggle.

Gay men/masculines - Despite men being stereotyped as rational, Mercury is actually not that conductive to much in synastry. In terms of attraction, I mean.

Mercury will only really become a thing in these relationships when it's looking at a long-term commitment.

Obviously, poor communication and conflict will ruin ANY relationship. But just like women think they can adapt to any differing emotional reality, men think they can adapt to any differing intellectual reality. Most often, hard aspects will breed clashes. And the positive ones won't really do much, but rather be a nice, soft support. It's just like good conversation.

Most common: Mercuries in the same element.

Lesbians/feminines - Here we have a similar situation. Mercury doesn't really do all that much between women.

Something I notice is quite common is Mercury relations only becoming apparent when it's really conflicting Mercuries, likes squares. Mild or soft aspects between Mercuries are more lived than felt or seen.

Common: Aspects between Mercury and Mars. This one is a key factor in physical attraction between feminines. Even the square can cause sexual tension between them.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Well, that is it for now, guys!

I hope somebody can resonate with it. Next post will be touching on Mars, Venus and the rising.

Let's give this a test and see if it works. Let me know in the comments if you have anything to add or ask.

MASTER LIST

[thehigherseekerastro]

Will you do about lesbians?

Yes!

It will touch on all sexual identities. I always try to be as diverse as possible, so more people can find themselves.

Since astrology - like all things in the world - was built around heteronormativity, I'm gonna try to present some possibilities for people who are not straight.

Like not using the binary "Mars is the man you are attracted to - Venus is the woman you are attracted to", bc I've noticed it doesn't always work that way.

To put it shortly, yes. It can apply to lesbians too

[thehigherseekerastro]

I'm thinking about doing an Astro Observations post focused on LGBTQ+ people/couples

I've been noticing certain things, reading others, and I think I'm seeing different patterns for LGBTQ+ people, specially when it's about synastry, synastry overlays, and personal planets related to attraction and relationships in the natal charts.

Is that something anyone would be interested in?

If you are, let me know here, and feel free to drop in the comments things about your personal chart that you as a queer person feel like manifests different for you than you see in the astrology observations.

PS: I did - here

[thehigherseekerastro]

I would like to add to this the following PS:

For those NOT going through their Saturn Return in Aries, but who are fearing Saturn moving into their Aries-ruled house in their chart - especially Aries risings - ask yourselves this:

While Saturn was in Pisces, did that break down anything in your life? Did that affect your life in major ways? Did you go through anything particularly out of the ordinary and bad?

If the answer is no, then Aries Saturn probably won't affect your life either.

Not unless you have your natal Saturn in Aries too.

Alternative Astro Observations (Saturn Return edition)

Hello, everyone!

I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately, and I got the idea to share some of the thoughts ruminating in my mind as of late, pertaining to some planets and the way we see and hear them described. Let me know down below if you agree, disagree, or have any questions!

#############################

Saturn 🪐

Let's start with our buddy Saturn, most specifically, Saturn Return. The hot topic of the moment.

In honor of Saturn's historic move into Aries on the 27th of May, 2025, let's talk about Saturn's role in our lives, and the alleged promises of it.

The planet Saturn is considered the "prison" of the solar system, because not much can escape its orbit. The sheer size of its rings compared to the actual planet proves it. It constraints, holds and guards things. It doesn't release. It doesn't give. Saturn sees things stable, secured, in place. It's a protector. And it isn't considered a malefic for nothing.

We really need to shift from this recent modern habit of wanting to fit everything into a whimsical pleasurable experience, even the tough things. Some things are just hard and that is just that.

I don't have my soul destroyed, so I'm not gonna tell you astrology is out to get you and it's here to make you bleed and cry out for your momma in agony. That's rotten core shit. Growth doesn't come just from tragedy. But the universe works in balance. And hard things are a part of life, just as much as joy and peace. So we can't continue thinking and expecting that every single thing in our lives has to end in a party.

"Oh, cause you're gonna reap the rewards!"

The rewards from what, exactly? Because you went through a hard time? But what did you DO with that time? Or did you just sit there, wallow in it, and waited to storm out? Because all things change at some point, so ofc, even your down times will eventually pass. But did you actually convert that time into any time of self-work? Or did you just let time take care of it on its own?

NOTHING is gonna give you a participation prize. So don't expect rewards from work you didn't do.

So the Saturn Return...

Just hang in there and you'll get your benefits from Saturn...

Said WHO? Did Saturn tell you that himself?

You WILL survive and move on, but that's cause you have to. Not because Saturn owes it to you. BOOM! There! You learned to be mature. Saturn did its job.

Saturn grinds you to teach a child that - guess what? - unless YOU get a job and make money, nobody's coming to pay your bills. Unless YOU go to the doctor, nobody's protecting your health for you. Unless YOU mange yourself, nobody's saving the quality of your relationships for you.

Because that's the adult life for you.

YOU give YOURSELF the Saturn rewards. Or you don't.

Saturn is not a giver. It's a holder. It takes and keeps it, and doesn't give it back.

Saturn Return Rewards 🤩

They're not coming.

Your life will not magically improve after your Saturn Return.

What IS coming is your opportunity to take a shitty situation and rise to the occasion.

The "rewards" you get are things that you should have been taking care of all along, but you weren't, but you got so low and frustrated that YOU finally start sorting it all out.

And guess what happens if you go through your Saturn Return and don't change nothing!

Exactly that. Nothing.

Let's stop promising ourselves that we'll have this great life after 30 cause Saturn Return is over, while at the same time just sitting and hoping for the best.

Cause if you don't, all you're gonna get is depression from feeling like your problems never go away.

The whole point of a Saturn Return is to teach you to REDIRECT.

You cannot resist Saturn's gravitational pull. It is bigger than you. But you can try to move away from it. Those are the only asteroids that manage to stray from its belt. And it takes time.

Don't fear your Saturn Return

You will survive it. And things will improve. But only cause you're gonna find yourself.

Except the things that you're gonna face, they may very well repeat more than once in your life. They might even persist after the Return is complete.

But that's the point. You don't have to wait for them to pass to start acting on your own life. You don't have to wait for them to be perfect. You don't have wait for "Saturn" to give you better choices and options. Make them yourself.

And you CAN and WILL have a beautiful life. Things WILL get better.

Just allow yourself to grow and watch your own magic happen.

As always, keep on believing in yourself and stay light in your heart. ❤️

But that's the point. You don't have to wait for them to pass to start acting on your own life. You don't have to wait for them to be perfect. You don't have wait for "Saturn" to give you better choices and options. Make them yourself.

And you CAN and WILL have a beautiful life. Things WILL get better.

Just allow yourself to grow and watch your own magic happen.

As always, keep on believing in yourself and stay light in your heart. ❤️

Venus in the 5th house 🧑🏾‍❤️‍💋‍🧑🏻💖

And here we are! The planet of love in the house of romance! I bet many of you had been waiting for this one, huh? So, do you think Venus goes crazy in this house? Do you think she brings fireworks? Let's find out...

Venus in the 5H has such a powerful energy to it, it's insane. Not only externally, but also internally. It's a flirty Venus, one who likes to have fun and be fun. It's also a beautiful and sexy Venus. And it can be quite the ambitious Venus too. Definitely a Venus for the artists.

The good 😊:

It's Venus' third beauty indicator house, after the 1st and 7th houses. (Lowkey the 10H too). Although this Venus will talk more of being "attractive" than being "beautiful".

Lots of charm and natural rizz and pull.

Despite the 5H not being a house associated with speech or communication, I notice that often people with a 5H Venus have a lot of eloquence and ability to communicate.

Gives the native lots of passion for the things that motivate them, specially things near and dear to their heart.

Hype people. These natives will clap the loudest for their crowd.

Have a youthful glow about them. Not just physically, but in energy.

Lucky people.

Refined taste.

Lots of times they pick careers with high salaries.

Full of vitality.

Good with children. Very good.

Good sense of humor. They love a good joke.

Can be people's "good luck charm".

Very bold people, even if they are shy.

Popular with their friends.

Saucy.

VERY, EXTREMELY romantic and passionate. Perhaps too much sometimes.

Lots of relationships, flings, dates, hookups etc.

Beautiful and attractive from childhood.

Smart people, but like QUICK smart.

Multiply wealth with aptitude.

Somewhat diplomatic and well-spoken.

Actually enjoy taking care of their children. Specially girls.

The bad 😠:

I don't like to use astrology to determine these things or associate specific placements to it, but... can be unfaithful sometimes.

Could manifest as a superficial person.

If the person is immature, it could give way to being a bulls*itter.

Might know they are hot and use it to manipulate people.

Might get pleasure out of playing mind games and seducing people they don't want, just cause they can and want to feel desirable.

Could be childish in love.

Could be the type to use the phrase "It was the last time, I promise!" and then do it again a month later, be it lying, cheating, or whatever they did to hurt someone. Every time is the "last time" with them.

Smooth talkers... too smooth for their own good.

This one might surprise, but could be stingy with money. Even if they make good money, could be the type to always feel like it's not enough and they need to live below their means.

Could easily feel disconnected if they don't immediately connect with the space they are in.

And if they feel disconnected, could feel devalued and annoyed. Like people aren't making them feel comfortable.

Could be imprudent in their early youth.

Might be the type to make mistakes repeatedly until either it ends very badly, or somebody finally puts their foot down and sets strict boundaries. Only then do they start actually changing and correcting themselves.

Could be catty.

Could be attention-seekers.

Could be very "me first" sometimes.

Might struggle hard communicating what it is that they want or what they feel. A nightmare in relationships when in conflict.

Could have a high sex drive coupled with poor self-control.

In love 💕:

Very fiery lovers.

Like dates. It's never too routine with them. Even if married for years, they'll always love a good date.

Keep the spark alive.

Can talk about having kids without it becoming awkward, even if it's very early on.

Likes LOTS of attention. They not only want to feel like everybody wants them, but they want to feel like their partner is fighting other people to have them.

Could like to flirt with anything that moves.

Forever a teenage love. They know how to make romance a thing.

Like to make their partner feel special.

Might lie several times and not feel bad about it, unless they get caught.

Might be dramatic behind closed doors with their partner.

Might bring money into conversations (or worse: fights) with their partner a lot.

Even of the native is a serial cheater and can't respect any partner, they will still convince themselves they want a love story straight out of a romance novel.

Might be blinded by love.

Would move heaven and earth for love, on an impulse.

This placement often likes to open up to their partner. They like feeling like the one person will take care of their feelings, like a child would be cared for.

Proudly shows off their partner.

Genuinely adores their partner.

Wants their family all integrated.

Wants their friends to respect their partner and will not negotiate it. It's the opposite of the 11H. Eleventh house WILL choose their friends over their partner. 5H Venus will choose their partner, but will look for a compromise.

Just loves love and romance.

They like to be in a relationship, in a fling, dating.

Build their own world together, even if they are surrounded by other people.

VENUS IN THE HOUSES SERIES!

Hey, everybody!

After a long hiatus, I should be continuing my Venus in the Houses series, for those who enjoy it or want to read about their placement. 2025 has been very busy, but I have the outline of at least 2 posts ready to go soon.

PS: This account is NOT, was NEVER and will NEVER BE for profit or business. So I don't offer any astrology or tarot related services or readings or mentorship of any kind. There are several creators who provide those services and they have great content, I'm sure you can find them.

But unfortunately, I do not provide those services.

This blog is merely my hobby, a place to put thoughts and ideas into, and if it resonates with anybody and they wanna exchange experiences, a place to discuss ideas.

So I'll gladly share what I come across, but I can't read your entire charts for you, because that is not my line of work.

Looking forward to continuing expressing myself (even if just to myself only 😁), and learning from all the amazing content available around.

See you soon! 😘

[thehigherseekerastro]

I said it once, and I'll say it twice (I actually said it multiple times)...

Be careful what your read on this site or hear on TikTok.

None of those "angry astrologers" is doing you any service.

Be CAREFUL WITH YOUR ENERGY. Careful what — WHO — you allow into your mind.

Those "Harsh astrology opinions", "Roasting astrology placements", "Honest astrology opinions", "Calling out astrology placements" etc

and all variations of astrology posts that just spew hateful things about people, that generalize things, that accuse people of being things with certainty based on an astrology placement and, specially, that offend, curse, insult people based on astrology placements ARE NOT DONE OUT OF GOOD CHARACTER OR INTENT.

Anybody worth half their weight, anybody who takes astrology seriously, would not reduce anyone to something so small, because they understand that a birth chart is huge and full of tiny little details that paint very individual pictures.

People who perpetuate stereotypes, and generalize things WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR BIRTH CHART, shouldn't be telling you who you are (or other people) in an "honest" way!

"Honest" according to WHO?

Saying that insulting others is being "honest" implies that the person thinks kindness is a lie. RED FLAG!!!! Means they don't believe good things — specially about themselves — and they want you feeling that way too.

Notice how the astrologers on here who actually make good, informative, substantial content are never the hateful ones; are never the angry "honest" "harsh" ones. The ones who make good material are usually either on the neutral side, or very gentle and kind.

And that is not out of fakeness. It's because those people actually understand that what you say to others matters and affects their energy. And also they understand that once you know the extension of a birth chart, you can't be reducing people to "Libras are fake", "Sagittarius are arrogant", "Pisces are manipulative."

I'm sorry, who died and made them the zodiac police?

A fake Libra CAN exist, but that's a very specific, unique person. I can't go online and type out that Libras are fake, and make every single Libra who comes across my post wonder why and how they are fake, if they aren't.

People who don't know you don't get to talk about you as if they did.

Long story short...

When you see those posts, just scroll past them.

Don't give them your time or your energy.

And don't let them enter your mind either.

Realize that the person writing those hasn't even learned to truly love themselves, so they won't be able to provide you with anything nourishing.

And 12/10 times those people use those "innocent" and "honest" posts to spill out their own personal hatred and grievances with the people who they are criticizing. So I bet you a Sagittarius hurt the person making a "harsh" posts about how all Sagittarius suck. I bet you a Virgo hurt somebody making a "calling out" post in which they lay it into Virgo placements.

It's just bitterness.

Have a good, safe, blessed day, and don't put onto others what you wouldn't want put on yourself. ❤️

[thehigherseekerastro]

No. They are not your twin flame. You are not twin flames. Stop it.

IDC what tarot readers have told you... you do not have a twin flame, and your crush is definitely not your twin flame.

Your separation is not the "twin flame journey", it's the "you couldn't make it work like adults" journey.

"Oh, but our synastry-" Still not your twin flame.

And you wanna know why?

BECAUSE TWIN FLAMES ARE EXTREMELY RARE!!! And I mean EXTREMELY.

If everybody under the sun with an internet connection had a twin flame, that would be a very low number of souls on the planet.

Wake up.

Twin flame is just a term that got tossed around on the esoteric internet to hook you into tarot readings and other bogus relationship pseudo-spirituality.

And now every girl with a TikTok account thinks her toxic ex is her twin flame and they must be on this complex spiritual journey and that is why he cheated on her 17 times before they get married and have 5 children together.

🙄

Now, I don't mean to say that tarot readings are the problem. They're not. Get you a PERSONAL reading for your energy alone, first and foremost.

But also realize that spiritual connections don't exclusively mean twin flames. They might not even mean soulmates.

Sometimes you are meant to fall in love with this person FOR THE FIRST TIME in this lifetime. That's also a spiritual connection.

Planet Earth is not The Sims. You are not here to play pretend and have fun and kiki with a boyfriend just for the cutesy of it. You are meant to evolve spiritually INDIVIDUALLY. A partner is just a travel companion working on their own growth, who you might make an agreement to help each other out with. Your relationships (romantic and others) are designed for your spiritual growth and they have a purpose.

So are 'twin flames' and soulmates different? 🔥

Yes. Absolutely. And it's not easy to brush up on a soulmate, even though you have MULTIPLE soulmates, not just the one person. So let alone a twin flame.

A soulmate is another soul with whom you share an affinity and you've made a pact to aid the other in their learnings in this lifetime. Sometimes through challenges, sometimes through healing and pleasures. But it's a joint effort between different souls that are fond of each other.

A twin flame on the other hand would be the exact same soul split into two. That's an anomaly. It's very, very, very, very rare. Because there's just too many souls for everybody to be out here with only half their soul.

Long story short...

Sorry to burst the bubble.

I know you might want to feel special and spiritually connected. I know you might want to feel like your relationship was something special and make it matter. But it's just simply 9/9 times not that deep.

You might for real be soulmates. That's more likely. Not twin flames.

But even if you are, there's upwards of 20 soulmates you might come into this life with. Which means that maybe even that one relationship you felt was the one of ones, might just be just that... one of many 'the ones'.

And you might come into this life with no soulmate at all to begin with.

Which doesn't mean you are not meant to find a great love. It just means that you're meeting that person for the first time as lovers, and you need to develop that new connection, and it could be equally beautiful.

Soulmates might not even reincarnate in the same lifetime. So you know... Just live your life, man. And enjoy all the beautiful things life presents to you when it does.

Unusual Venus Take

**This is purely my opinion, and I am sharing it more as an exchange of ideas, to see what we can think looking at it from a different perspective.**

I would argue that Venus in Scorpio isn't as opposite to Venus as it supposedly should be.

Even though both are Mars-ruled, Venus in Scorpio is different than Venus in Aries.

To me, Venus in Scorpio is actually the exaggeration of Venus, rather than her complete opposite.

The goddess Venus gets romanticized as the god of beauty and love and romance, but if you search for the mythology, you'll find out that Venus was jealous, envious, petty, vengeful, possessive and greedy. And quite often very ruthless and violent with her enemies. And she DID NOT care for feeling betrayed, even if that betrayal existed only in her mind.

So she should not be mistaken for the goddess of excessive kindness and altruism, because that was not her.

From where I stand, I'd say Venus in Scorpio is Venus without her mask on. It's her when she's not being social.

She would often plot, scheme, do things in the shadows and behind the scenes, manipulate and keep her cards close to her chest. She was also very intense and passionate, and wanted nothing but blinding adoration for her.

All of those are qualities associated with Venus in Scorpio.

So it's not that Venus in Scorpio is the opposite of what Venus is like, because it's in a Mars-ruled sign. It's that Venus in Scorpio is Venus at her most exaggerated self, after she's given too much away (as it opposes the Venus-ruled Taurus, which is a sign that wants to TAKE more than give, since it's the hedonistic side of Venus).

Remember: it's not the sign that works around the planet; it's the planet that works around the sign.

For example: Mars in Cancer isn't unable to be martian. In fact, it is VERY martian. It's volatile, angry, aggressive, violent, dramatic and explosive. All things that Mars is. But it does all of that through a Cancerian energy, so all of those characteristics only come out through EMOTIONAL outbursts. For a Cancer Mars to be activated it needs to feel emotional pain.

So it's not that Venus in Scorpio can't behave like Venus. It's that Venus behaves in a Venus way, but through a Scorpionic context. So it still wants love, and sharing, and connection, and closeness, and love and romance; just as Venus does. But it does that in extremes, like Scorpio would.

(a Scorpion's only crime is perhaps loving too much lol)

With all of that said, try to see if you can rethink any other planets in fall or exile, and see how they could be manifesting a shadow side of the planet they're supposedly opposite to.

[And be kinder to your Scorpio Venus pals, because Scorpio Venus love is addictive and you never forget it BECAUSE it's so devotional and loving, not because it's cold or cut off from the heart].

[thehigherseekerastro]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

7th house synastry does not automatically mean love!

It's a house of commitment, not a house of love.

It only means love if OTHER LOVE ASPECTS ARE PRESENT TOO. Or of it's at least Venus is in the 7H.

If no other love aspect is present in synastry, it just means a commitment.

For context: I have seen 7H Synastry between a married couple in which he was a gay man who married her to stay in the closet and convince himself he wasn't gay. While she just wanted him for his financial security, so she didn't have to work for nothing.

Very toxic, fake marriage, lying to each other.

But they had 7H Synastry, and they were together for over 10 years.

So, as I always say: be careful with what you read. Synastry has to be looked at as a whole, not just one isolated overlay.

Alternative Astro Observations (Planets edition)

HAPPY 2025🎉🙏❤️! 🥂

Since it's a new year - and 2025 is a very busy year astrologically PACKED with rare planet transits -, I've decided to start off the year with a post about the planets in a birth chart.

As usual, use caution when reading my posts. Do research of your own, look for resources on astrology to deepen your knowledge, and know that is a microscopic isolated observation that may not always apply as is written.

Also, I am not an astrologer professionally, I just study astrology.

Saturn 🪐

Contrary to what it may look like from the tidbits you find online, Saturn's transit and influence doesn't ever end.

Even if planets did stop functioning, it wouldn't make sense for the planet of time and longevity to just stop working after some time.

So, no, Saturn's influence will NOT wane after your Saturn Return*. It's not like you end your Saturn return and then you'll never hear from Saturn again.

As with all planets in your chart, Saturn will continue to influence the area it touches in your chart for the rest of your life. It just may not be fully activated at all times all the time. But it will continue restricting and refining the themes it touches in your chart.

The difference is that after your first Saturn Return, instead of causing hurdles to force you to grow and master those topics, Saturn will be occasionally throwing little "pop quizzes" to ensure that you are STAYING on that path.

So it's not that after the Saturn return you're suddenly magically perfect and nothing ever troubles you again. It's that you've fine-tuned your senses to not let yourself slip in those areas again. So you tend to make better decisions, which in turn has you facing less problems.

But the lessons of Saturn are gonna continue with you throughout your life. Saturn is the planet of time, consistency, longevity, hard work and staying power.

*For those who don't know what a Saturn Return is, it's a transit from the planet Saturn that happens roughly every 27-31 years, in which the planet Saturn returns to the sign and position it was in during your time of birth. The first Saturn Return (around age 27-28) is considered your true welcome into adulthood. It is said that specially during the return Saturn's lessons will be specially harsh and incisive, as sort of a push and test to see if you've truly learned Saturn's lessons through the first 30 years of your life. It's said that once your first Saturn return is complete (between ages 30-31), you emerge as a much wiser, more mature person, ready to reap benefits of having mastered those lessons and survived the trials and tribulations of Saturn.

Uranus 🌐

Out of all the outer planets, Uranus has the least noticeable influence on you.

I, myself, would put Uranus into a category that I've created for the outer planets, called the "Social outer planet".

You really are gonna see Uranus play out more externally than anything. So anyone fearing freak accidents, sudden money loss, sudden deaths etc, because of Uruanus, can relax. It's probably going to affect your surroundings more than anything, rather than the events of your life.

In fact, let's low-key stop using outer planets for prediction-based astrology. Predictive astrology predates modern astrology and the discovery of Neptune, Uranus and Pluto, so let's chill on claiming they will wreak complete havoc in people's lives if they have heavy Aquarius, Pisces or Scorpio in their charts.

Those planers are known as "half-malefics", because they are unpredictable. So that doesn't necessarily mean terrible things coming out of left field. You're gonna feel the collective impact of them (which is why they are also generational planets), and then they have a very specific way of manifesting in your personal life.

Slow-moving planets, with long transits, so their impact will happen gradually. And in the case of Uranus, you're most likely to see yourself changing the way you do things, see them, think, feel, more than you'll see yourself randomly getting unexplainable events thrown at you.

Pluto 🔮

The overemphasis on Plutonic influence and force is a very Millennial take in Pop astrology.

It's a generation with Pluto naturally in Scorpio, so of course they are gonna feel Pluto's hold stronger than the rest. And out of the outer planets, Pluto is in fact that strongest, but not everybody alive feels Pluto the same way Millennials do. Specially people who don't have many other Scorpio placements.

A Mars or even Venus placed in the right place at the right angle can turn someone into a batshit crazy maniac. It doesn't have to be Pluto.

But Millennials have this inner restlessness that is very much associated with Pluto, so they can't detach from it, and then they think everybody else is feeling everything at 700mph like they are, so IT MUST BE PLUTO!!!

Nah... you just have ADHD and clinical depression, and are watching the collapse of modern society under capitalism. (I'm joking, I'M JOKING!)

In all seriousness, though, people talk about seduction and magnetic this and that with Pluto, and even power, but they don't talk enough about STRENGTH. And why Pluto gives so much strength.

It's not just the birth and rebirth thing - which isn't even originally associated with Pluto, BTW -, that birth and rebirth has to come when you're constantly getting your life pulled from under you. It's also the fact that Pluto gives power through isolation.

It sits at the very end of the solar system, just a ball of ice, so far removed it was even demoted as a planet. Yet, it's still going strong. Why? Because it can manage on its own.

Pluto gives one power because it teaches a person to do it on their own, with no warnings, no resources, no sympathy. Just survive and get it done. And then crawl your way back. All on your own. So you end up becoming extremely strong and powerful out of sheer will to live.

And also pride, because you fought and clawed to own what you got. (Which is where the obsession and possessiveness comes from).

Happy new year, everyone!

Just a quick random post to say hello and wish you a good year!

Here's to connecting more in 2025! Sending you lots of love and light. ❤️

[thehigherseekerastro]

Hello and Happy Holidays! I was wondering do you know what Synastry aspects & overlays indicate being very attached at the hip? To the point that it might seem very odd to see one without the other?? "We're a packaged deal"// "Hey, where's your shadow?"// "You guys are just two peas in a pod"// "With us you get a two for one special" Kind of energy/vibe. Thank you for your time, and hope that there is plenty of Holiday joy and cheer for you and your loved ones!

Hiiii, love! Happy holidays! And thank you very much for the well wishes. I wish you the very same back! 🩷

I always try to be as honest as possible here with my astrology content, so I'll say that I am not sure I am the best person to answer this question, but I will try to answer you to the best of my ability.

First, I will give you some cautionary ideas, but then I'll give possible positive outcomes of the synastry you asked about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Synastry: External x Internal

The first thing to point out would be the manifestation of said synastry. What is it exactly that you want? Because it can look different from the outside than it feels like for the two people in the relationship. You could be talking about a synastry that LOOKS (external) like they're conjoined twins and happy about it, but FEELS (internal) like an obligation or suffocating for them. Or you could be talking about a synastry that is very private in display, so it seems cold or distant to the outside, but in their intimacy they're very attached.

You might even be looking at synastry that has veered into sibling-like/platonic convenience territory, and the romantic love isn't that strong there anymore, but they're still maintaining the habit of doing everything together. Perhaps a synastry that talks less of mutual adoration and more of codependency and lack of individuality.

It's important that when we look at synastry we don't romanticize the appearance of it (and that includes our idealized fantasies of what the perfect love would look like), and rathe focus on the FEELING of that synastry, because at the end of the day, it should feel good, healthy and mutually respectful, regardless of the vibe it gives off.

Synastry: Does all "good" synastry feel good?

Ever heard the phrase 'too much of a good thing is a bad thing'?

Now, here, I don't mean quantity, but rather intensity.

Having that type of synastry you talked about... are we sure it feels right for everyone? And HOW did we get to that point of being so close all the time? Was it because of a constant need for the other's company or is it possessiveness and an imbalance of power? Because synastry can describe both, and it can make one look like the other.

My point is to say that you could have no such aspect with someone and grow a very close and flowy connection, just like you can have that type of synastry and it goes overboard and turns harmful, but one would never know from looking at it superficially.

How much synastry does it take?

The answer is: more than you expect.

You see, while we'll often see analyses for individual placements online, that is done only to make it more simple to understand, but one aspect alone cannot realistically carry an entire connection. You are not gonna behave an entire way just because you have that one aspect or overlay. In real life, just like you need to look at the entire chart to describe a person, synastry aspects NEED support and combination with multiple aspects/overlays.

The reason being that the same aspect can cause different effects for different relationships. Codependency between lovers and codependency between family members are different things, for example. But they can come from having the exact same aspect/overlay.

So, like a puzzle, synastry needs multiple pieces at the same time to formulate an entire bigger picture and differentiate one thing from another.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Assuming that you are talking specifically of synastry between a healthy and happy and loving couple...

It would need to be a combination of both emotional and physical synastry, so one Mars this, or one Moon that, is not gonna cut it. It needs multiple placements going in the same direction. So apply this if at least 2 or more aspects are present at the same time:

•••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• •••• ••••

* Rising conjunct rising *

No, not rising in the other's first house. It needs to be conjunct. Sometimes, not even having the same rising sign is enough if it's not conjunct.

If you use the Placidus system and you have a Leo rising at 21° and someone else is a Virgo rising at 7°, their rising will fall inside your 1st house – that does NOT mean you have the same rising sign, nor that your risings are conjunct.

If you are a Virgo rising at 2° and someone else is a Virgo rising at 28° degrees, you do have the same rising sign, but your ascendants are NOT in conjunction.

When the risings are in conjunction that indicates a similar way of going about life, carrying oneself, behaving and expressing. It COULD go the other direction and turn into rivalry, though. If it doesn't, then the people should naturally behave very similarly, and that creates a feeling of "ease" with the other person, because you don't have to be explaining yourself, they just act like you naturally.

* A combination of Cancer + Leo + Scorpio placements between the two *

That means that the two people have placements in those three signs. They don't need to both have all 3 signs in their chart at the same time, but they do need to have at least 2, and if they have the same sign it's even stronger.

For example: If Person A is a Cancer sun, with a Leo moon. And Person B also has a Leo moon and has a bunch of Scorpio placements in their chart.

Cancer is a naturally clingy and attached sign, so Person A will naturally want to be attached at the hip with the person they love. The closer they are, the more stable, safe and secure Cancerians feel, so they need emotional and physical proximity to feel like things are under control and safe. They see emotional compatibility as a sign that things are going right and they found the right person.

Leo is a fire sign, but it's a fixed fire sign, so it's also very attached to what it knows. Being a fire sign, Leo IS guided by their desires and wants, but unlike the other two fire signs (Aries & Sagittarius), Leo is not fickle. It doesn't change plans on a whim, on an impulse. Specially in love. But it feels emotions very ardently and deeply. So Leo wants to be obsessed with their partner and it wants their partner to be obsessed back.

Scorpio is another fixed sign - like Leo -, and another water sign - like Cancer -, so combine the two and you get a Scorpio. Scorpio is deathly committed, it's obsessive in it's love and it is dead set on one target and one target only. It wants to know its people deeply, inside and out, all of them. ALL of them. Which means Scorpio doesn't ever get bored or tired of their lover. They would gladly spend 24 hours + 7 days a week + 12 months with their lover.

That means that these placements naturally have a need to be around that person constantly and they thrive on doing and wanting the same things. So this can cause the two people to do everything together all the time, to a point in which they create their own little bubble and their own world, in which others from the outside can't really get in. At times, they might even forget others are even around.

* Same moon sign *

That means what it says. They have the exact same moon sign. Their moons don't have to be necessarily conjunct, but they DO need to be in the same sign.

So if you have a Sagittarius moon at 26° and someone has a Capricorn moon at 1°, TECHNICALLY your moons are conjunct by 5 degrees. But they are not in the same sign. Your personalities are different. That connection works in a different way.

But if you have a Sagittarius moon at 12° and someone has a Sagittarius moon at 25°, they are too far apart to be conjunct, but they are still in the same sign. So you have the same emotional landscape.

When two people share a moon sign that immediately describes a sense of comfort, understanding and safety. It also sparks up a gigantic amount of excitement. Because they recognize each other, they understand each other's emotional impulses, and they don't have to explain what they feel a lot, because the other person probably already feels the exact same way, so they just "get it". They can translate what the other feels easily.

It can make the people want to be around one another all the time, because with this person it feels safe, there's no suckerpunch, no surprise, no judgement, no rejection, no ambush. Plus, they validate each other A LOT.

Physically, they will want to hang out as much as possible. Emotionally, they will just rely on each other constantly for mutual support, which can make them – again – tune out everybody else and just focus on each other.

This literally gives "they finish each other's sentences" energy. Bonus points if it's a Leo moon.

* Mars conjunct moon *

Now, again, this aspect alone will not create this. If people have Mars conjunct moon, but the rest of the synastry is a disaster, they will most definitely not go the right way with this. I am talking about a COMBINATION of HEALTHY aspects TOGETHER.

There isn't much to say about this one. It combines physical needs with emotional needs. It IS a tricky aspect, because it gives rise to violent anger, on the account that it's the planet of aggression touching the planet of emotions. So they will value the impact of the other person a lot, which means that when that person upsets them, they feel it even more dramatically than with others. But when it works well, it really works nicely.

The first and most apparent effect of this would be a need to be physically close to the other a lot. So they will often sit next to each other, talk looking at each other, walk very close to each other, touch each other a lot, even if it's light touches, and depending on their level of intimacy, do physical forms of affection, like kisses on cheeks, head, shoulders, hugs, gentle caress etc.

Emotionally, they will search for drive in each other. It's like the other person is their personal motivator. If they are in a group setting, for example, they might look at the other person for validation that what the're saying is right, or they might feel safe to share their ideals and aspirations because the other person is there to support them. It can even make a shy person start to speak up their thoughts because the other boosts their confidence and will defend them if needed.

* Mercury in the same element *

Both having a water Mercury (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces), a fire Mercury (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius), earth Mercury (Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn) or air Mercury (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius). Mercury is the planet of communication and the mind.

When two people have compatible Mercuries, even if they are not in the same sign, but they are in the same element, that talks of an easy flow of communication between them. That means the core of how they formulate their thoughts is the same:

Water - driven by emotional intelligence.

Fire - driven by sensorial intelligence (how it feels like in their body. Does it feel exciting or annoying?).

Earth - driven by practical analysis.

Air - driven by rational, factual mental processes.

They can understand each other fairly easy, as well as explain themselves to the other. That can mean conversations can become very centered on them and others sort of fade away into the background, SPECIALLY if the other people aren't getting what they mean. Mercury is impatient, so if they are with others and the others don't get what they're saying, they could be just like "ugh! Whatever. This person gets it, so I'll just talk to them and ignore the others. If they get it, that's enough for me."

* 5th house overlays with major planets *

Major planets are: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. The 5H is the house of joy and excitement, the house of play, fun, romance and pleasure.

If someone's major placements touch your 5H or vice versa, it can describe a relationship in which everything with that person feels like a reward and the best times of one's life. Everything feels exciting and pleasurable.

So who wouldn't want to be around someone who's fun and makes you happy all the time? They never get bored of each other.

This one also gives "tag team" energy. They are mischievous together, and might cause trouble with the help of one another. In a good, light-hearted way. Like joining forces to prank their friends. They also go on all types of adventures together.

* Mercury in the 3rd house overlay *

The house of communication with the planet of communication. Need I say more? The Mercury needs to be in good condition, though, otherwise, it will be manipulation instead of cooperation. And, once more, other positive aspects need to also be present.

Just mental connection to a level that is almost psychic. They read each other's minds.

Internally, that can make they feel intuitively connected and understood.

Externally, they can be the pair that always knows what the other is thinking, what they're gonna say, and become the official spokesperson for the other.

They also do NOT get tired of talking to each other. Ever. They can talk forever, and they never seem to run out of conversations to have. They might even talk in a similar way, or adopt each other's mannerisms and speech patterns. They also learn words, phrases and expressions from one another. And they change the other's perspective easily.

* Pluto in the 7th house overlay *

This one can be more on the toxic side, I warn.

It creates obsession and possessiveness, as well as codependency. So it could give rise to that "shadow" effect. Always with each other, always in each other's radar, refusing to break apart. It also creates an addictive feeling.

It can also make them be secretive together, which can give even more the energy that they are each other's shadow.

There's a few more, but I feel like for now that's been enough to read.

Random Astrology Observations (Alternative Meanings Love Edition) 2 🤨❤️🤔

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way, shape or form a professional astrologer, modern or traditional.

I HAVE been studying astrology for a while now, and analysing charts available to me, as well as my own, and noticed a lot of the info you find online doesn't make sense in real life, because it is too reductive, stereotypical or lacks broader context. So I thought I'd share some of my personal observations to see if it resonates with anyone.

This is NOT the end all, be all. Apply it as it makes sense to you.

**************************************************

The 1st House 🙋‍♂️

The 1H in synastry is a tricky one, because the first house itself is related to our individual identity. It is the house of self. So, when it comes to having a love planet here, things can get really murky. You'll often hear that it indicates instant attraction, but also only surface-level. While that is not entirely wrong, it would be a disservice to reduce it to just that. Yes, first house ties back to your physical appearance and external impact. But what does that mean for someone else being impacted and impacting that? Does it even apply in synastry? The answer is: YES. And it goes much deeper than you'd think. It will talk about an immediate recognition. It talks of being mesmerized by someone's look and demeanor, but that comes accompanied with an obsessive need to know more about you, to be around you, to soak up as much of you as possible, as if to aggressively learn you. And that's because you will tickle all the boxes the person had been holding inside (and vice-versa).

(e.g.: having someone's planet(s) fall into your 1st house doesn't just mean they will be attracted to you, if it's romantic. It also means the person feels like you two share a vibe, share interests, ideas. It means they feel like you move according to their speed, and therefore, that could lead to a lot of trust and comfort on their part, because you feel like a safe place. Not in the same sense as the 4H, but in a more "this person will have my back, cause we're the same!" kind of way. It makes the person feel like you are enough, because you fit them. So even if everyone else disagrees with them or doesn't understand them, they'll sort of look over at you, and if you validate them, that will be enough for them. They'd rather have your approval – since you are someone who gets them – than to have the approval of a bunch of people who don't understand where they are coming from.)

It truly is a beautiful thing, but even positive planets with positive aspects can lead to unwanted side-effects. The house person could come to resent the planet person because of how much they like them. Depending on who the house person is – if they have a dominant or prideful personality, for example – they may come to resent and even become angry with the planet person at times, because they'll feel so strongly for the planet person that they could start acting out of character for them, and that can make them feel like they're losing control of themselves. And as human beings, what do we do when we feel out of control? Shift blame and start looking for culprits. This DOES tend to wear off, though, exactly because of how intensely the house person feels for the planet person, but it can burn hot for a minute or two, specially if they end up getting into an ugly fight and the 1H person tries to forget the planet person, but they can't bring themselves to hate them. They'll get angry at the fact that no matter how hard they try to hate the person, they still feel enchanted by them.

(this could also create an unwanted feeling of "nobody else is like them", so the 1H could panic a bit at the thought of losing the planet person because 1H synastry creates the immediate feeling of the "perfect person for me", so imagine thinking you found the perfect person for you... it can make you feel like if you lose them you'll never recover, because no one else will be like them or able to replace them as perfectly)

All in all, though, first house Synastry tends to usually show up good results, depending on the planets and aspects involved. Another aspect of this synastry that doesn't get talked about for some reason is the fact that they tend to obsess over and notice the tiny details in each other. So it creates this effect of falling for them over and over and over again, cause they'll keep finding little things about the other person that they find enchanting, and THAT'S what creates the physical attraction. It's not that the planet or house person are conventionally attractive to everyone – they might not even fit the beauty standards –, but to the house person, those little details will sort of build up the planet person's beauty step by step, and by the time they catch on, they'll be enamored with every part of them, so, to the house person, the planet person truly is the most beautiful thing ever.

(1H house synastry also brings a 1st house energy to the attraction. NO - NOT ARIES. First house. But it will sound like arian qualities because Aries does rule the first house, after all. What this means is that a big part of the attraction for the 1H person is feeling like the planet person is independent, self-sufficient, confident, self-assured and capable. Because it's taping into their 1st house of self, the house person can sort of see the best of themselves reflected on the planet person, which means they feel like all the things they are insecure to show the world, the planet person has and is not afraid to show them. So they feel like planet person not only embodies their attraction ideal, but also the ideal personality they wish they had themselves. Which they do, but they don't realize it until planet person comes along and brings it out of them.)

First house Synastry is a complex kind of Synastry that is much more psychological than it's given credit for. People often focus on superficial physical attraction and gloss over the fact that it's like somebody is literally stepping into your mind and making your inner fantasies come out. It can feel very vulnerable and intense.

The 7th House 💍

Oh, isn't this one a gem?! Perhaps one of the most sought after in synastry. But the idea here is to provide an alternative perspective, so here goes: if it's badly aspected, or there's other challenging factors involved (the person falling into your 7H is problematic themselves), you're gonna run into the issues people often attribute to 1st house synastry, such as superficiality and a "false love" because 7H Synastry, regardless if it's good or bad, creates somebody who's "perfect on paper". They say the right things, they do the right things, they seem to fit into your whole ideals. But that does not guarantee that that's who they truly are. That's just who you think they are. Remember – the 7H is the house of "other". So it's not about you. It's about the other. But it's rather how you act around said other, and also how you perceive them.

(It's tough to say this, but you gotta be real to help some people out there who might have had 7H Synastry and didn't understand why the relationship failed, since everyone online claims it's a guaranteed soulmate. It's because Synastry goes both ways. And all houses have good and bad. There is no such thing as the perfect Synastry. But in the case of the 7H, I'd say it's the real life case of "if it's good, then it will be amazing. Truly a soulmate. But if it's bad... it will be awful. Just not immediately.)

Going off of the previous comment, another grim way this Synastry can turn out is in its binding effect. And I don't mean anything spiritual or abstract here. I mean literally binding. Imagine a relationship going sideways like that AND you are also now married or share a business together. MESS! This is the house of contracts and long-term. Remember Saturn exalts in Libra, because Libra likes things that last, and Saturn is the planet of long-term, so the house of Libra will sprinkle that lasting effect over whatever it touches. And if you're in a 7H relationship, that relationship will last with you, whether good or bad. It will take A WHILE to break off from it, either mentally, emotionally, psychologically, legally or financially.

(e.g. somebody has their moon in your 7H, but it's a moon at fall, in Scorpio, and it's afflicted in their natal chart. Now, at the beginning they will seem like a gift from God directly to you, so much so that you decide to make it official... And then, one or two years in, living together, each day it gets more toxic and draining and the dark sides just oozes out of your relationship. But now you are legally married, and divorcing will take time, bureaucracy, money and emotional energy, not to mention you'll have to uproot your entire life, explain it to your social circles and families... And what seemed like your dream come true was in fact a bitter lesson to learn).

To veer away from the dark twists of the last ones, let's dissect the correlations people make with the 7th house, like "oh, your spouse will be interested in art, and beauty, and music, and sophisticated things!" Why? Are you marrying a Libra? A Libra rising? Somebody with a Libra Venus? No? Then that has nothing to do with 7H Synastry. Houses are not signs, signs are not houses. Libra is one thing, the 7H is another. Venus rules Libra, which resides in the 7H, but Venus doesn't rule the 7H. It merely influences the 7H. It would be a better guess to say you might have met your person while they (or you) were already in a relationship than it is to say you met because of beauty-related things, or art, or music, since the 7H doesn't talk of any of those things, but it DOES talk of committed relationships.

(e.g. you might have met the person right after they (or you) got divorced. They might be connected to an ex of yours. Or another possibility that isn't talked about is how the person you eventually end up with is someone you have liked for a long time, but never got the chance to be with until now. Since this is the house of long-term relationships, having placements here could indicate that the person you ultimately stay with long-term is someone you already knew prior to getting together, but you needed to experience other relationships before you united with them.)

Another final aspect of placements in this house is the fact that it doesn't just deal with your love relationships, but also the way you consciously present yourself with others. How you behave socially. But also the mirror effect of this house, speaking directly about love. This is, after all, the house directly opposing the 1st house of self. In that regard, this is similar to 1H synastry, with the exception that in this one, instead of you coming out of your shell subconsciously, you make a conscious effort to become your best for your person here. You want to live up to all of your potential.

The 2nd House 💆‍♂️

This one is a bit tricky for me, because I'm not materialistic AT ALL. I have a Taurus Lilith in the 2nd house, so, I express it on the other end of the spectrum. When you have that placement, you either put too much value on money and material things, or you are completely unattached from it, and that's me. So the whole "money this, money that!" vibe is not my scene. I don't see a price in life, I see value. With that said, let's get this going.

Yes, this is the house of money and material things. Yes, it will deal with your personal finances. But no, unless other parts of your chart/Synastry agree with it, somebody's placements falling here should not have a lasting effect. It might merely indicate you overspending on dates and gifts. The 2H is the house of YOUR money, which means that the whole "oh, they're gonna shower you in gifts!", "And this is a sugar baby aspect!", "Your person will want to spend all their money on you and buy you expensive things!" is probably not gonna happen, sorry. If it does, it will be you spending your money.

(And if you do spend your money, the whole "gifts" thing is also not that common, because normal people don't just go around buying gifts for others every other day of the week, unless they have some sort of imbalance. Such a consumerist mindset! Not everything is about paying for things or buying things. That's a VERY American culture of dating, specially for women. This nasty idea that a man has to buy you or he's not good. Which is what encourages habits like thinking the man always has to be covering your finances (how old are you, 5? Get a job and pay for your own damn self! You are an adult woman), paying for your food, buying you a house, giving you gifts all the time and affording expensive dates. You are not a product. If your biggest incentive to be with a man is because of how much he pays for you, then that's the world's oldest profession, not a relationship of love. So this should play out more like them helping you manage your own finances. Don't go around thinking a 2H love placement is gonna turn you into Cinderella.)

If you do happen to be a stay-at-home person in your relationship, which is valid, as long as it's not all about money, 2H love placements and synastry will talk more about other material aspects of things. It will talk of stability, sustainability, longevity and security.

(e.g.: it could mean that you allocate your resources towards creating a safe, stable environment for your life together to flourish, such as buying things for your home together, revising your finances to make life goals and plans together more viable, setting budgets to achieve milestones together... as well as the literal physical aspects of valuables, so using your resources towards nourishment (food, shelter, clothing and health). Things that will ensure your relationship lasts and endures through hardships and tribulations. In the 2H of values, Synastry could indicate the relationship itself becoming your prized possession that you take care of. All the Earth houses are about caring for things, just in different ways.)

Another poorly explored aspect of the 2H is values in the moral, spiritual and emotional sense. It's WORTH. Both the causes you find worthy as well as your self-worth. A 2H love placement or Synastry can and will directly affect that. Even if you do happen to be dealing with financial/material things too, that can affect your self-worth directly.

(e.g.: say you are married to someone who is constantly in debt, or say your spouse is the breadwinner of the household and you depend on them financially. That can really take a toll on your self-worth. It can bring feelings of poor self-esteem, can you make you feel undervalued, inadequate, make you feel like a burden, or make you feel incapable of caring for yourself. It can strike your self-confidence and make you VALUE yourself less. Or the opposite. Your spouse may open you up to new possibilities of making money, which in turn gets you into a new passion project that you succeed in and that can make you feel like a worthy person, make you believe in yourself, make you feel important and valuable.)

I would argue that most often, it's the 8H Synastry that will really have your partner's materials affecting you, because the 2H is the house of your PERSONAL gains, while the 8H is the house of OTHERS' gains and possessions. Most often, the biggest impact I'd say 2H love placements have will be dealing with self-worth, self-confidence, shared values and morals, feelings of belonging and acceptance.

General Things ✨

What I see most often is that positive and negative outcomes tend to happen simultaneously. It's not all doom and gloom, but it's also not all sunshine and rainbows all the time. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not so great, and those ups and downs come and go. That's just life. Both are there to be worked with, worked for, or worked through. At the end of the day, astrology will not mandate your life events, and you have to always be learning from your life, and working on yourself and the things that matter to you. Astrology is just a guiding light to identify possible themes to be mindful of.

**************************************************

That's it! Thank you if you've read it this far! I might have come off a bit harsh (I hope I haven't), but I promise I'm nice lol.

My whole goal is to try to discuss astrology in as realistically as possible, but while making it clear that any possible outcome is plausible. If most times all you hear are fantastic stereotypical descriptions of placements, such as 7H, the not so great ways in which it can play out will be explored here to help people navigate them. If all you hear are bad things about a house, then I'll try to show the positive ways in which it can come out.

The whole point is to try to bring a wide range of notions to these descriptions, together with the information that is already out there and available by many other creators.

At the end of the day, remember this is all POSSIBILITIES. Your personal life has to be analysed to know what's gonna ensue. And don't be discouraged, because the truth is that positive and negative effects tend to happen together for your best.

Hope you have a good day when you find this!
