Hi,

I would love for you to dive into the self projected authority.

I’m self projected with only my throat and g centre defined, and there’s not much information on this authority. I would love to help if needed as I have noticed somethings and it would be nice to have some sort of clarification, or someone to talk to about this that has knowledge on human design.

Thank you in advance 🧡

how to be your best self-projected self: a practical guide

so fun fact: every projector i know tends to never fully align or apply their authority type because the common advice is to "talk it out with someone and use them as a sounding board". WRONG! you don't need to have other people to make the best decisions for you... plus bringing other people into your decision making process often distracts from your realization about the options - you are likely more susceptible to being more emotional, defensive, reactive, and/or guided by the other person. self-projection is about having the space to have realizations on your own terms and timeline. so here's some practical ways to create that space for yourself.

paid reading options: astrology menu & cartomancy menu

enjoy my work? help me continue creating by tipping on ko-fi or paypal. your support keeps the magic alive!

anchor yourself in sensations before speaking

instead of instantly talking to someone, take 30-60 seconds to notice your body - chest, throat, and diaphragm.

look for green lights; what feels effortless, words that tumble out naturally, notice when your tone is warm or animated, and you are breathing easier.

practice narrating small, inconsequential choices to yourself out loud. it might sound stupid but stuff like "i want tea, so i'm going to have tea over coffee" - notice how your body reacts and how you feel when you vocalize those things, so you know what green lights are.

look for red lights; when your throat feels pinched/tight, when your words feel forced or monotone, and when you stumble on your words.

use voice notes/memos

record yourself talking through a choice without having a planned narrative - literally ramble for 2-3 minutes (or more).

play it back later and listen not for logic but for changes in your tone, when/if enthusiasm is present, sections where you rush/mumble or sound drained, etc.

making micro-decisions as practice

practice making decisions that don't have big consequences: "do i feel like sitting in the living room or kitchen?", "do i want to wear this black jacket or this denim one?", etc. COFFEE OR TEA!

speak your options aloud and notice which one makes your body lean forward or makes your voice brighten - that's your self-projected green light.

sometimes this is difficult though so the other option is flipping a coin. give each option a side, flip, and notice how you feel/reaction when you receive the universe's answer. and if you find you don't like it - change it ;)!

"no audience" test

self-projected authorities rely too much on another person as a mirror, but you can use empty space as the witness: talk to a plant, pet, mirror, and/or your voice memos.

the goal is ultimately to hear yourself without being swayed by someone else's reaction.

you'll notice which words feel like they're coming from you versus what's coming from external conditioning.

identify your not-so-green-lights

sometimes your voice can sound bright because it's people-pleasing or chasing external approval.

so look for false green lights. things like excitement that feels like nervous adrenaline instead of grounded enthusiasm, feeling relief that "this will make them happy" rather than "this will make me feel alive", when your pitch gets higher than normal in a slightly strained way, etc.

end-of-day audit

spend a few minutes in the evening and vocalize one decision that felt aligned (pay attention to your voice/tone) and one decision that felt misaligned (note how your tone/voice changes).

Hi ! Hello ! As I was going through your posts and precisely on your human design posts, something caught my attention : the picture that you us of human design and all of the portals numbers are exactly like my human design chart. Is that normal ? Everyone has the same ? Thank you again maybe my question sounds obvious and stupid but I really don’t know

Ps : I genuinely love your blog very explicative, diversified and unique !! Have a great day 💗💗🩷

hi!

there are no stupid questions when you are trying to learn something! the answer is yes; everyone has the same gate numbers in their human design chart - they will not move to different locations as they are fixed numbers in each center/chakra. the only difference would be if the gates are active (usually distinguished by being color-blocked) or inactive.

hope this helps!

Can you please give any astrological placements that can indicate being gifted/buying a car within your solar return?

luminary returns: indicators of getting a new to you car

this is kind of funny to see in my ask box because a few weekends ago i restructured my savings goals. i used my solar returns for the next few years (assuming i won't move) to determine what big purchases i am likely to make (or have to make) and in what year(s). ultimately, it's really helpful to know how aggressively i will or won't need to save - if that makes sense? anywho a car is on the radar - 2027 is the time for hopefully just an upgrade. so let’s look at indicators!

mars return chart observations (part 3)

these ideas are for MARS RETURN CHARTS ONLY and are completely hypothetical. they are based on my (the those closest to me's) experiences with each aspect/placement! please don't take everything i say as predestined, astrology is possible outcomes not guaranteed ones. this is just a starting place for when examining singular objects in an entire galaxy (this not the only return chart in affect for you). take what resonates and leave what doesn't!

the astro purse hypothesis

so i actually went down this rabbithole a little bit ago because i have always hated my purses - i was like what am i doing wrong??? LET ME TURN TO ASTROLOGY! i pulled out my 2h ruler's persona chart.

why?

2h governs what you own and carry - it can be quite literal. so i treated it like what do you consider worthy of being carried around. surely you can use this whole persona chart like a will - items that might be worth bequeathing to others... but i'm just going to act like the 2h ruler's persona chart is a purse for this hypothesis.

paid reading options: astrology menu & cartomancy menu

enjoy my work? help me continue creating by tipping on ko-fi or paypal. your support keeps the magic alive!

1h: exterior of the purse

how the purse looks - its color, texture, brand, and how it expresses individual (charms, tie-ons, etc). purse's "face" and vibe.

2h: what’s inside & wallet

the heart of the purse. represents your possessions, "worth", and essentials. what non-negotiables you carry and what you need to feel secure.

3h: communication items

what your purse holds related to interaction: phone, earbuds, notepad, pen, business cards, gum, or anything to help you connect with others and express yourself. could also represent how you organize your mental clutter (planners, journals, habit trackers, etc).

4h: lowkey/hidden personal treasures

items buried deep in your purse's core: nostalgic keepsakes, private items, protective objects, photos, safety items, etc. emotional security drawer - comforts that no one else sees.

5h: flare, romance, and fun

could be anything you carry for fun, flirting, and/or creativity. lip gloss, perfume, condoms, jewelry, glitter pens, etc.

6h: maintenance & daily function items

this is the "i got it" zone: sanitizer, floss, daily meds, allergy pills, band-aids, lotion, tissues, mini mirror, etc. how your purse helps you maintain order, health, hygiene, and readiness in everyday life.

7h: what you carry that supports others

what your purse reveals when you're with others. what do others give you to hold for them.

8h: secret, power, and protective items

pepper spray, crystals, tarot cards, emergency cash, etc. governs taboo, sex, power, and hidden tools. essentially the purse's magic compartment (catch this mouseketool lol).

9h: explorative & meaningful items

travel items (real id, metro card, passport, etc), faith-based charms/trinkets, books, and/or items from another culture.

10h: public persona & more vibes

what your purse says about your status, profession, and ambition. sleek pens, resumes, planner, a tote with a laptop, etc. minimal bag v. big bag. bohemian v. professional and sleek.

11h: collective support & bestie energy

anything in your purse meant to share and help others. tissues, snacks, pads/tampons, charger, mints/gum - anything that says, "i got you."

12h: hidden items & spiritual items

things you don't show anyone. your private comforts - what helps you feel better when things are quiet.

not a matt rife fan but ummmmm HE'S ENTERING A 15 YEAR.... after becoming the legal guardian of the annabelle doll.... that's just absolutely unhinged to me.

[a-d-nox]

pac/pap: summer harvest - what's neglected, ready for harvest, and dead in your garden?

take what resonates leave what doesn't - nothing is 100% for you because these aren't personalized so please no angry comments or dms about what i am saying not being a good fit for you or that you "don't claim" just keep scrolling if that is the case. be kind, self reflect, and have fun.

last pac/pap: what sparks are flying for you this month?

return to the masterlist of pap/pac posts

paid reading options: astrology menu & cartomancy menu

enjoy my work? help me continue creating by tipping on ko-fi or paypal. your support keeps the magic alive!

pile 1

there is a pause that's becoming uncomfortable - a desire to move, but not knowing how... the harvest is stillness. it's time to get moving again. you've waited long enough - now you can reclaim the garden for something new. something you sidelined is waiting for your attention - now is the time.

hesitation, delay, and self-doubt. you have something valuable to bring forward - you're second-guessing it or maybe lack the structure to support it fully. the harvest is there - you're unsure how to "package" or present it. your value is real, even if you don't have it all figured out yet. start by starting. focus. don't let imposter syndrome rob you of your moment.

you might feel like nothing exciting is happening, or like you're tired of trying. the truth is, a subtle shift/opportunity is being offered - you're just not seeing it clearly yet. let go of what you thought the harvest would look like.

pile 2

what's ripening is a deeper knowing of what you want to commit to. something or someone you had on the backburner is becoming impossible to ignore. a relationship, passion project, and/or inner desire is becoming undeniable. choose intentionally and what you feed will flourish.

you've hit a vision block - you know there's potential, but you're afraid to expand or unsure what direction to take next. you're being invited to break out of your comfort zone and reimagine how you show up and/or share your work. the fear of the unknown may be keeping you small when it's time to go big or go home.

the real reason the basket's empty is because something had to be completely cleared out to make space. expect a sudden insight, release, and/or an ending that feels intense in the moment but frees you radically. let what falls apart, fall apart. let the collapse create clarity for you.

pile 3

you're ready to face something you've been avoiding - whether it's a conversation, a truth about yourself, and/or a pattern that no longer fits. this garden grew while you weren't looking - now you're ready to tend to it. no more pretending you're not capable. owning your story and choices makes you powerful.

you've been carrying too much, especially when it comes to proving your worth. being "productive" doesn't mean being burdened. you've been overgiving, undercharging, and trying to do it all - this is an opportunity to simplify and restructure your energy output. delegate, drop, and reprioritize - you are enough as-is.

the basket may have been empty - but what's filling it now is real, earned, and sustainable. that may mean healing your body, building your finances, or finding a rhythm that works for you. you're stepping into a quiet, grounded power. what you nurture will flourish.

how can you glow up: your 12h - healing, mental health, and spirituality

here's the next hypothesis of how you can glow up using your venus persona. take a close look at your 12h!

paid reading options: astrology menu & cartomancy menu

enjoy my work? help me continue creating by tipping on ko-fi or paypal. your support keeps the magic alive!

12h virgo (6°, 18°), 12h mercury, and/or 12h ruler aspecting mercury

healing from past wounds

you may have internalized shame around not being "useful enough" or "perfect."

identify your inner critic voices aren't even yours - who are they? parents? teachers? society?

replace negative self talk: for example "what's wrong with me?" becomes "what part of me needs tenderness right now?"

let go of the need to "fix" others in order to feel safe or valuable.

working on mental health

you need routines that protect your nervous system, not over-work it.

overthinking is a defense mechanism - use that energy, shift it to embodiment: yoga, walking, breathwork, etc.

watch out for analysis paralysis in therapy or healing...

sleep hygiene, gut health, and regular bodily care is your medicine.

practicing spirituality

you thrive with structured routines: daily tarot pull, breath work, journal routine, tea rituals, etc.

create a sacred space for your inner world: have a clean altar, get fresh flowers, favorite scents, etc.

use everyday tasks for your benefit: meditative cleaning, mindful cooking, etc.

finding peace within yourself

simplicity calms your system. think minimal spaces, slow mornings, intentional routines, etc.

don't underestimate the power of a nap or herbal bath / steamer shower.

replace caffeine with plant-based things: lemon balm, ashwagandha, chamomile, etc.

12h libra (7°, 19°), 12h venus, and/or 12h ruler aspecting venus

healing from past wounds

aim to heal wounds around resentment, ghosting, and over-apologizing.

reflect on who you became when "being liked" was more important than being authentic.

let go of the need to make your healing palatable. not everyone has to understand it.

forgive yourself for the times you chose pleasing others over your peace.

release relationships without balance - you deserve mutual effort.

working on mental health

you overextend emotionally, then isolate - set boundaries instead.

reclaim your "no" - say it with your chest.

get honest about codependency dressed up as compassion.

practicing spirituality

create rituals that bring internal harmony: music, movement, etc.

visual meditations - think about balance, symmetry, soft color palettes, etc.

silence as a tool - not for peacekeeping, but to hear your own voice again.

connect with using beauty: art, poetry, fashion, aesthetics, etc.

finding peace within yourself

design a quiet sanctuary for yourself - curate for comfort, softness, and sensuality.

cultivate relationships where you're not performing. no filters. just you being you.

know that you no longer have to choose between connection and authenticity.

12h capricorn (10°, 22°), 12h saturn, and/or 12h ruler aspecting saturn

healing from past wounds

you may have internalized guilt for needing rest, softness, and/or space.

evaluate hidden shame, often rooted in childhood or past-life experiences of being punished for emotional expression or intuitive sensitivity.

repeat after me: "i'm allowed to slow down. i’m allowed to feel the way i do. i’m allowed to not be okay right now."

release the belief that you are "too much" if you feel things deeply.

forgive yourself for the years you spent numbing out just to survive. you did what you had to. now, choose differently.

working on mental health

you may be emotionally self-sufficient to a fault - believing nobody else can hold what you carry. rewrite this narrative.

therapy, journaling, or trauma-informed support isn't just helpful - it's essential to build inner strength that you can't denied.

name your needs, name your fears, and name your boundaries.

practicing spirituality

create rituals that include both spiritual depth and practical containment; meditate at the same time daily, journal before bed, practice grounding visualizations, etc.

rest must become part of your sacred routine.

learn to trust silence - it's not emptiness, it is integration.

finding peace within yourself

make space for your peace. have a rhythm for your recovery.

practice holding your own hand when the world gets too loud.

serenity comes not from control, but from learning how to give yourself structure and softness at the same time.

12h ruler in the 2h

healing from past wounds

you may carry past trauma around being underpaid, overlooked, and/or emotionally used.

there's often a fear of being "too much" or "not enough" - never quite at peace with what you offer.

heal scarcity by affirming: "i can be compensated for who i really am" and "i am worthy of more".

working on mental health

anxiety spikes when you feel unstable in the physical realm or unseen emotionally.

prioritize body-based practices: breathwork, somatic therapy, grounding rituals, etc.

talk to yourself like you would a child - gently, respectfully, and reverently.

practicing spirituality

connect via touch, food, scent, and sound.

try money manifestation meditations or visualizations - you can literally grows your garden, business, and/or bank account.

finding peace within yourself

build routines that feel luxurious and stabilizing - eat good food, get in clean sheets, enjoy the beauty of silence, etc.

surround yourself with items, people, and work that remind you that you are valuable, safe, etc.

realize that you are not just spiritually rich, you're worthy of physical wealth too.

Scorpio Moons Are Always the Villains.....Right? Or Did You Just Need One?

"Jennie's lazy." | "Beyonce's in the Illuminati." | "J.Lo doesn't even sing." | "Ice Spice is just a meme."

These are things that have been stated multiple times in the case of these Scorpio Moon musicians. Whether or not you agree with those statements isn't the main point for today's post. I'm here to point out a pattern that I have noticed in Scorpio Moon celebrities.

Scorpio Moon celebs, especially women, are uniquely villainized in the public eye. Not just because of what they do, but because of the energy they give off and who they are. They're powerful, private, and unique. Whether they're deeply misunderstood or genuinely problematic, society reacts with projections, suspicion, and obsession. They immediately accuse them of being cold, manipulative, and sneaky. But I am also gonna include a small lesson in Evolved vs Unevolved Scorpio Moons.

How Scorpio Moons Behave

Scorpio Moons are usually deep, intuitive, passionate, captivating, powerful, mysterious, and creative. We feel emotions deeply and don't trust others easily. It's difficult to truly know us because of how private we are. We have strong intuitive abilities that allow us to perfectly read rooms, sense people's true motives, and live without needing approval. But at our worst, we could become too paranoid, easily hold grudges, withdraw emotionally, and have a fear of being vulnerable. To the outside world, we are usually seen as deceptive, cold, intense, and misleading. That image alone is enough to provoke suspicion and resentment, especially in the public light.

How Fame & Notoriety Affect Scorpio Moons

We already know that being famous is difficult. It can strip away your privacy, morals, willpower, and it's all about competition. People will create their own narratives of you and act like they know you. Scorpio moons are not gonna be able to deal with this easily because they will be more restrictive to what they talk about and what they post online. The only time you'll ever hear from them is if they're dropping a new song or movie trailer. This is why they're seen as fake and calculated. But they're just trying to protect the important parts of themselves that they know fame will devour.

People will become suspicious of their quietness. People could overanalyze their facial expressions. People could say their confidence is threatening and "stuck-up". People could say their boundaries are arrogance. People could think they're hiding something because they don't explain certain things or give the fans what they want.

Beyonce

Beyonce is one of the most celebrated and awarded performers of all time. She has built a legacy on talent, perfectionism, and near-perfect control of her image. She rarely gives interviews. She releases music on her own time. She rarely, if ever, explains herself and gives the public the reaction they want from her at certain times. Things like this have fueled the public's suspicion of her and backlash she's received.

One particular incident that I remember was about her being criticized for using a pre-recorded track while performing at Barack Obama's Inauguration in 2013. She said she didn't wanna risk singing live because she didn't have time to practice with the band and since it was such an important event, she didn't wanna risk it. She was severely dragged for this.

Over the years, she's also been accused of being apart of the Illuminati, stealing artistic concepts and choreographies, sabotaging other women's careers to get ahead, and using feminism and black culture performatively. Some of these critiques may be valid and some are speculative. Either way, they've all been triggered by the same emotional reactions: distrust, obsession, and the desire to expose her as something she's not showing us. She's been dealing with hate like this for the majority of her career.

But she doesn't react. She comes back with albums that are revolutionary and game-changing, from Sasha Fierce, to Lemonade, to Black is King, to Renaissance, to Cowboy Carter. She comes back with different personas, as an entirely new and stronger person than before. Classic Scorpio Moon.

Jennie Kim

Jennie is in one of the biggest K-pop girl groups of all time, Blackpink. She has always stood out from the very beginning. Even before her official debut, she was collaborating with K-pop icons such as Lee Hi and G-Dragon. She quickly became a fan-favorite due to her talent, presence, and beauty. She's also considered the it-girl of the 3rd generation of K-pop. Jennie was also pretty different because she didn't behave in a way that most idols are expected to. The love quickly turned into hate.

The first major controversy she experienced was her "lazy dancing" scandal in 2018-2019. I was there to witness it, and it was so much hate being thrown her way. So many YouTube videos were being made about it. She was being attacked for dancing "lazy" while they were on tour, when in reality, she was most likely exhausted from the intense schedules. She also had a ankle injury at the time.

People were also pointing out how she was more a bit energetic for her solo stages at the time, but "lazy" for the group performances. I feel like this might have also been a misunderstanding because when you're performing solo on stage, you have to give it your all since all eyes are gonna be on you. She's still being called out to this day for dancing "lazy". I think it's clear that has low stamina now, which can easily be improved and I understand people's criticism about it. But people are still hanging this over her head to this day. The main valid criticism that I've seen Jennie receiving though is when it comes to appropriating Black culture.

People were also attacking her for her dating rumors with Kai from EXO and V from BTS. People were attacking her and saying they don't deserve to be together, even though nothing was ever confirmed. But throughout all this, Jennie has never addressed rumors and hate (I don't remember if she has in interviews). She continues to build her career in ways that'll make her a legend. She doesn't seek approval. She sets standards. She even has a song that's praising herself (Like Jennie).

Jennifer Lopez

Now let's be for real, not every Scorpio Moon artist is a misunderstood saint. I wanna use Jennifer Lopez and Kali Uchis for these examples. Just as this placement can cultivate emotional resilience, privacy, and depth, it can also cultivate manipulation, control, and the unwillingness to take accountability (Evolved vs Unevolved Placements). Even though they aren't saints, my point still stands about how they've been uniquely villainized in the public eye.

Jennifer Lopez has been exposed for using other black female artists vocals in her earlier songs without crediting them (Ashanti, Christina Milian). Their vocals carried her hits and Jennifer just lip-synced or layered some of her own vocals over them. She has also done interviews where she contradicts herself, disregards people she's worked with, and even potentially lies about her past (ham and cheese on a roll with a orange drink, iYkYk??).

People don't hate her because she's successful. Most people don't like her because of how much she's appropriated and taken from black culture and markets "women empowerment" while stepping on women's necks behind the scenes. She's also officially been exposed for the stuff she did with he who shall not be named, so that's gotten her even more hate. People have been hating on her for years because of all of this, and I don't think it's gonna stop anytime soon. This is a prime example of how people don't just sweep things under the rug with Scorpio Moons.

Kali Uchis

I love her music, but I gotta do it. What makes Kali's case interesting is that she hides behind a spiritual, divine, transformative, and healing persona. These traits are common with a Scorpio Moon and this is how she is seen by most people. She plays it well and knows how to sweep the toxic things she has said and done under the rug with the help of this image. That's why the problematic things she's done aren't talked about that much, unless she messes up and her true self just so happens to slip through the cracks. She has a curated image with alluring, feminine visuals and "soft power". But when faced with criticism, she defaults to passive-aggression, projection, or complete silence.

She has been called out for defending men who have SA'd women, and dated them. Don Toliver has those allegations against him and she has a baby with him now. There was also a situation a few years ago, where she bullied a trans woman for calling her out because she tanned her skin darker to pass as a darker-skinned Latina and changed her whole aesthetic to appeal to the Latin market. She's been exposed for allegedly stealing smaller artists' aesthetics and being rude to fans throughout the years.

With her skincare line, "Homebody by Uchis", she claimed the products are vegan and all-natural. But that was a lie. When someone called her out for this, she blocked them on her main account and her clothing line account (bodiedbyuchis). She also claimed the jeans from her clothing line are not made with polyester, which she made multiple comments on her story at the time about how toxic it is. But guess what? They had polyester. I checked her website again though and it seems they no longer have it in their clothes.

In her most recent controversy, she shared a Billboard 100 chart, showing off her ranking at #4 but covered Sleep Token's pic, whom was in the #1 spot. She also later accused them of using payola in another shady post. When asked why she did this, she claimed it was because she didn't feel comfortable showing someone who does blackface, which isn't true (and racist Morgan Wallen was right under him, yet she didn't cover him). When replying to another comment later, she admits she doesn't even know them but that the picture made her uncomfortable. So you decide to accuse someone you don't even know, of doing blackface and being racist just because they got the #1 spot and you didn't? Girl bye.

I remember when she shared her 2024 Spotify wrapped, she also covered Raveena's face and song, whom was her top song of the year (Hypnosis). It's genuinely odd and it's giving jealousy. Scorpio Moons are known for their intensity but they're also masters of control - controlling narratives, controlling perceptions, and silencing anything or anyone that threatens them. Kali frames anyone who questions her behavior as being jealous, being a hater, or having low vibrational energy. In one breath, she preaches healing and positivity, and in the next, she's throwing shade on her IG stories.

You can be spiritual and still be harmful. You can be sensual and still be emotionally immature. Kali weaponizes self-love and spirituality as a shield from accountability. She is the perfect example of what an unevolved Scorpio Moon looks like. There's also a big difference between emotional privacy and emotional arrogance. Not addressing the problem and deflecting is not okay. Kali reinforces her ego instead of transforming it.

All of these things make Kali disliked in the public eye. Well, I would actually say that it more so hinders her growth as an artist because as I stated before, most of the bad things she's said and done have been buried or covered up due to her spiritual image and maybe management helping her. But since this situation with Sleep Token has been blowing up everywhere, it's been making more people bring up her past. People are definitely gonna hold this over her head for a long time.

In Conclusion.....

Whew, this is the longest post I've ever done. I'm so proud. But to conclude, this post reiterates the fact that Scorpio Moons have an emotional intensity that makes them unforgettable, unbreakable, and often unbearable in the public eye. We don't cry for comfort. We don't explain themselves when they want us to. We usually work privately share only what we want them to know. But because that isn't what's expected of us, especially celebrities, we get hated on for it.

Some, like Beyonce and Jennie, hold their power quietly, gracefully, and "dangerously". They give us access into their personal lives only when they want to. Others, like Jennifer and Kali, show us what happens when that energy calcifies. They show us what happens when the mystery becomes smoke and mirrors.

Scorpio Moons will always be polarizing. We weren't made to be liked, we were made to be felt. And whatever that feeling is - admiration, suspicion, or obsession - it will stick. But with that being said, thank you all for reading this!

hello hello! i'd like to ask if you could make a post with the topic of where embodiment, the senses, and/or groundedness could be in a chart- im a 12th house stellium and im *dying* for physicality. Asteroids, signs, planets, aspects! the deets 👀 (only if you want to ofc! im just fascinated!)

where embodiment & the senses live in our charts

i get what you are saying; the 12h can feel boundary-less and infinite. but can ground yourself through movement, breath, food, etc. so let’s talk through that.

paid reading options: astrology menu & cartomancy menu

earth sign houses (taurus, virgo, and capricorn): earth signs are anchors in the chart. taurus is the sensualist - taste, touch, scent, sound, etc. virgo brings body-mind awareness. and capricorn brings structure and discipline to the body.

3h taurus: grounding through sound, writing by hand, scent while studying, slow walks while thinking, tactile learning, journaling with music and tea, etc.

7h virgo: sharing meals, planning dates, small acts of service, noticing the little things, etc.

11h capricorn: showing up for causes, being seen as reliable, making tangible progress on future-aligned goals, etc.

1h: traditionally this is the physical self - aka the body. a fire or air rising may feel ungrounded - working with physical appearance, posture, and breath can bring you home. while water and earth may naturally feel more at home in themselves.

6h: this is how the body, health, and routines are managed. this house is meant to support grounding and the body through exercise, nourishment, and routine.

6h leo: rituals that need flair - sensual skincare, playlist for your workouts, dressing for your mood, etc. movement - dance, yoga, or any physical practice that feels a bit like a performance. being/feeling seen can energize your commitment to your body.

moon: this placement speaks to where comfort, instinct, and embodiment can be found - which depends on the sign.

saturn house placement and aspects: saturn can bring a sense of gravity and consistency. aspects can help you "find" your body, while hard aspects may feel like heaviness or detachment. the house itself can tell you what you can do to feel more grounded.

apollo, god of sun, arts, healing, wisdom, archery, agriculture, and prophecies (asteroid 1862)

when talking about such a popular god or goddess i am going to for warn paraphrasing - of course all these stories have more details and all these popular gods have stories within stories. i would love to share them all/in detail but i would need a book and a lot more time to write it. my attempt in writing these posts are to inform you on the high level story of the god’s or goddess’s life. that being said if any one of the events regaled in the post pique you interest - please let me know i don’t mind giving a more in-depth tale of any of the events mentioned.

but without further adieu: apollo

When referred to as the sun god he was called Phoebus (meaning bright), as a prophet he was called Loxias (meaning the person who speaks crookedly), as the god of healing he was called Paean (meaning the thing of praises) - but we all know him best as Apollo. Both Apollo and Artemis are the twins of Zeus and Leto (a titan). Zeus’s affair against Hera turned her spiteful. And out of wrath, Hera sent the dragon, Python, after Leto so she couldn’t birth the illegitimate children in her world. Having nowhere to go, Leto birthed the twins on an island called Delos (allegedly it was Apollo who whispered to her in the womb to go there), where she balanced on an olive branch while birthing Artemis - who then helped her mother to birth Apollo. The twins were only fed nectar and ambrosia after their birth and within four days they reached full physical maturity. A short time later - somewhere in the first two days, Hermes invented the lyre and stole a cow from Apollo - this angered Apollo and in order to appease him, Hermes traded the lyre (there was a turtle (chelys) involved in the making of the first lyre haha) for the cow. Ever since, Apollo has been associated with music. On the fourth day, Apollo was vengeful to hear what happened to his mother so he hunted down Python, who he fatally wounded with his arrows. This led Python to hide in Gaea’s sanctuary located in Delphi (Python succumbed to his wounds and died), where Apollo threatened to paint the place using the dragon’s blood. Zeus intervened at this point and explained to him there would be no more bloodshed at Delphi and that he was his father (*darth vader voice* “apollo, i am your father”). Delphi was then considered a sacred place for Apollo where he would predict prophecies using an oracle, called a Pythia, to channel his messages. After that, Apollo only grew stronger and more daring - competing with Marsyas - the satyr (flayed alive - it was a flute duel), Pan (unscathed, the judge (Midas) - not so much - pan flute duel), Cinyras (imploded after losing to Apollo or committed suicide - very unclear - another flute duel), etc. Apollo (son like father) had many love affairs as well. There was Coronis (who birthed Asclepius), Marpessa (who was able to choose between him and another man - chose the other guy), Cassandra (the Trojan princess), Cyparissus (the man who was turned into a tree), Hyacinthus (turned into a flower), and, most famously, Daphne (who took a vow of celibacy with Artemis and turned into a laurel tree to avoid Apollo (the reason he tends to always be depicted wearing a laurel is to represent his undying love for her)). Apollo is deeply ingrained in many stories of mythology - his time spent as a mortal because Asclepius was going to cure mortals of aging, the Walls of Troy he built with Poseidon for an attempting to overthrow Zeus, his killing Achilles after his best friend’s, Patroclus, death (seems like a love triangle to me - those that know know ;)), and so much more. All that being said IN MY OPINION Apollo in a chart can represent a) poetic abilities, b) how and in what area of life you can heal others, c) archery abilities, d) agricultural abilities, e) predestined occurrences in your life, f) where you tend to be relentless in life, g) bisexual relations, and/or h) where in life you tend to be punished most for your actions.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of apollo along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of abundantia AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede apollo!

Hello💞 could you please make a post about placements that indicate experiences with paranormal stuff? Or transits that indicate this happening? (For ref i got 12h in sag and ruler of 12th ,Jupiter, is exactly trining Neptune + Neptune is exactly sextiling my nn+ i have a pisces moon+ 8th h stellium)

mediums and magnets for the paranormal in astrology

i'm going to work off of what i already have posted (no asteroids discussed after this post will be included or added after the fact). i would like to also state that NO TWO CHARTS ARE THE SAME. what i am about to list out does not mean you will for sure need these exact things (or all of these things) to be have experienced a paranormal phenomena (it could have to do with transits or even the synastry between you and the spirit for all we know). if you don't understand my thought process feel free to comment with questions!

scorpio (8°, 20°) sun or rising: scorpio is associated with the occult, mysteries, and transformation. individuals with strong scorpio placements like these where it is core to how they are energetically seen in the world may be more drawn to or attracted experiences with paranormal phenomenas.

scorpio (8°, 20°) anubis (1912), 8h anubis (1912), and/or anubis (1912) aspecting pluto: god of mummification and the afterlife, he does not communicate directly with spirits, but oversees the process of death and ensures that the dead are properly prepared for their journey into the next world. he acts as a bridge between the living and the dead, playing a crucial role in the transition of souls.

scorpio (8°, 20°) hermes (69230) and/or hermes (69230) aspecting mercury: he was responsible for guiding souls to the underworld. he acts as a messenger between the gods and mortals, crossing the boundary between worlds with ease. hermes served as a divine medium, facilitating communication between the living, the dead, and the divine.

scorpio (8°, 20°) hekate (100), 8h or 12h hekate (100), and/or hekate (100) aspecting pluto: often associated with the spirit world and mediumship. she is believed to have the ability to communicate with spirits and guide souls between the realms of the living and the dead.

scorpio (8°, 20°), capricorn (10°, 22°), or pisces (12°, 24°) orpheus (3361), 8h orpheus (3361), and/or orpheus (3361) aspecting mercury and/or pluto: he descended into the underworld to retrieve his wife after her death. orpheus crosses the boundary between life and death to communicate with the spirits of the dead.

capricorn (10°, 22°) personal placements: its like they are magnets for spirits; i feel like it has to do with their relation to saturn - sometimes the boundaries between this realm and another is thinner for them and/or their energy just attracts spirits in need.

pisces (12°, 24°) moon or rising: pisces is highly sensitive and spiritually attuned, so having personal placements like the moon or ascendant in pisces can indicate being viewed as receptive to otherworldly experiences.

pisces (12°, 24°) pythia (432) and/or pythia (432) aspecting mercury and/or neptune: gifted with divine communication. pythia was one of the most famous examples of mediumship in mythology.

moon-pluto aspects: tend to indicate a deep connection to the unconscious, potentially leading to encounters with intense, transformative experiences, including paranormal activity (its like a horror movie placement where you are so shocked that you question having seen anything in the first place).

neptune aspecting the moon and/or mercury: these people can have enhance psychic abilities and can communicate with the spirit realm.

neptune dominance: this planet rules dreams, illusions, and, the star of this show, spirituality.

strong neptune placements like 1h/8h/12h or aspects made to neptune, especially to the moon, could enhance intuition and psychic experiences.

1h, 4h, 8h, or 12h pluto: this is a planet linked to the underworld, death, and rebirth, and is often associated with transformative or supernatural experiences. it can suggest personal encounters with the unknown.

7h pisces (12°, 24°): these people tend to walk hand in hand with spirit. they can be strong mediums.

8h/12h placements: 8h governs death, transformation, and the occult. 12h is the house that rules the unseen, the subconscious, and hidden aspects of life.

especially placements like the moon, neptune, and/or pluto, can indicate a connection to the paranormal or spiritual realms and often suggest a natural inclination towards paranormal experiences.

8h or 12h uranus: uranus is linked to sudden insights and unconventional experiences. in these houses, which are tied to death, the unconscious, and the mystical having a psychic encounter is likely.

8h or 12h neptune: these people are generally more attuned to the spirit world.
