Specific time

[fishnapple]

Recently I've been thinking that I'm very attracted to men who like men in my life. And they treat me very well as a girl. They're pleasant to talk to and don't ask for photos 🥲 I sometimes talk to straight men but I find them both attractive and repulsive. Something is always wrong with them. Maybe there's something wrong with me and I have a strange energy for attracting men?

Sun aquarius 1h, moon virgo 7h, venus pisces 7h, mars taurus 2h.

~ Thank you 🐦‍⬛🖤

Hello, there's nothing "wrong" with you, you just haven't found the right person yet.

If you think there's something "wrong" or "strange" about your chart or you, then you would think it's a problem that needs "fixing". How about thinking of it as a "question" that you need to find an answer for instead?

Astrological speaking, Uranus and Neptune aspecting personal planets might point to the fascination with the unconventional, sometimes the unavailable, so you might want to check that in your chart.

What I'm talking about here may have nothing to do with astrology, but I think you need to know what you really want in a person, what you're attracted to in a person and what's not, is there any resistance within you, how do you see yourself, who do you identify with? Etc.

In my opinion, the lack of romantic intention might pave a way for a genuine expression of personal virtues, some people treat others more nicely and perceive them in better light because they're unavailable and off-limit to them. Whilst an assumed romantic potential dangling in the air might make a person act a little "off" from themselves. Not to excuse the bad behaviours of some people, you should not tolerate such thing and then feel bad about yourself if you are not okay with it.

I don't interpret chart but I think you should check your placements again, how can a planet in Virgo and another in Pisces are in the same 7H?

[fishnapple]

Hi. Can you share your thoughts on Venus trine Uranus and Venus trine north node? Thank you

Hi, I don't answer several placements in one ask, please read the guidelines for asking astrology questions here.

AVENTURINE 

You have an emotional intensity that can elicit fear and awe at the same time. Some people might be too intimidated by you, not because you're loud and aggressive, but they're intimidated by the emotional storms that are brewing in you, yet you appear utterly calm, like the eye of the storm. They would wonder what it would be like to get dragged into it, to be swept off their feet. Your bravery and serenity are like wings that let you soar high or plunge down to any depth. You are a dichotomy of light and darkness. Like a solar eclipse or bright starry night.

I think you have a certain inclination or feel a pull towards the painful and ugly sides of humans. You want to stare them in the eyes, crush them, rise above them, conquer them. It's very daring and methodological at the same time. People would feel that they can be an utter mess in front of you, you won't shoo away the ugliness of their heart, but you hold it in your hands and transform it. They know that you're not invincible, that you have wounds just like everybody else. But you always look up, beyond any prison that humans subject themselves to. Many people would have their lives changed by you, just by being in your life.

But you're not just intensity alone, you also carry lightness. You can be cut throat and ruthless in one setting, but generous and merry in another. Your mind is full of magical stories, fairy tales that span far into the future. You keep your daydreams to yourself and only reveal them at the most unexpected moment. Render every witness speechless and in awe. That rare moment of tenderness will haunt people's minds, making them seek for more. Your silence acts as a backdrop for the twinkle in your eyes. Your apparent simplicity in the way of life is the sign of devotion to only things that are meaningful. 

ROSE QUARTZ 

This might sound weird but it's your nervous energy, when you're worried or anxious about something, when you're being fussy. This seems oddly adorable or cute to some people. You might be a worrywart, who tends to speak a little faster when you're nervous. This rouses the desire to calm you down in other people. 

Your calm state is also very attractive because you're being present, you know how to enjoy the small things, to appreciate the sensory pleasure of the five senses. When you're worried, you can forget about this energy for a while, but once you've calmed down and regained your serenity, you're very soothing. Like a lake regaining its smooth shining surface after being disturbed by the rain. With your appreciation for the five senses, you have a talent for handcrafts, anything that requires the skills of hands and good eyes for aesthetics. When you're set about organising something, you do it with great efficiency and tact that one can't help but exclaim 'flawless'. Maybe that's why you're prone to nervousness, because you're such a perfectionist and people around you love that energy so much.

When you speak, you deliver a message, not empty words that can be ignored. When you're passionate about something, you can be very fluent and persuasive, like a wise teacher. The things you choose to pursue might seem too daring or shocking to some, but you're steadfast in your track and unknowingly get a few followers along the way.

RED JASPER

Right away, people can see your ambitions, to go far in life. This group is quite masculine in energy, very lively and energetic. A lot of people would find you very attractive when you assert your will, when you go after what you want without any fear or reservation, like a warrior, a pioneer. But you're no fool, you don't charge forward blindly, there's strategy in your moves, like a hunter. When it translates to romantic situations, they wonder what it would be like to be pursued by you, to be the target of your desire. Only the brave can rise up to meet your challenge. So I think you also attract masculine people. Those who are equally strong and ambitious. 

You're also very attractive when you're protecting something or someone. When you show your compassionate side, for a cause, a greater goal. You show your support by concrete actions that get results, not just comforting gestures. You have a fierce love for the underdog, the weak, the unfortunate. 

Your vision of a better world can be your greatest motivator. You live your life with idealistic visions, but you don't just dream, you also do. Your appeal is the power you wield, over yourself and your surroundings. You're willing to work hard, as long as you deem it necessary. Maybe you're a touch workaholic, but you work towards a goal, not just a mindless grind. The sense of direction is very clear. If you believe in past lives, you can say that in the past, you were a soft, passive person who relied on others for support. But in this present, you're your own power, your own supporter. This independent energy is very attractive.

A little random thing, you might have a favourite comfort food that others find very endearing. It adds a touch of softness and joyful air to your otherwise strong energy.

TIGER'S EYE

You're the kind of person who people would want to have in any community. You can be a people magnet without realising it, without any conscious effort, maybe the only conscious effort that you have is to be yourself, to live life authentically. You attract people simply by being yourself. Your light is very visible, the natural confidence is vibrating through the air.

You're disciplined and responsible, but you're also gentle and kind. You're confident, but you also encourage the same attitude in people. People can feel that you would make a good parent, a good friend, a good neighbour. You're caring and want to protect and help people, but you do it with practicality. You don't just offer empty words, you back them up with actions. Being with you is both safe and inspiring. You inspire others to take more care of themselves, to stand up for themselves, you help people become more independent and come into their own powers. All these just through you chasing your own path. You have a strong sense of purpose, the person you believe in the most is yourself, and that makes people want to believe in you too, even when you haven't achieved your dreams yet. 

Talking with you is never boring. You can tell the most silly jokes, you can recount the most bizarre adventures, you can recite the most romantic poem or muse some really intense thoughts that surprise people. But you're also an avid listener, you listen with intensity, with childlike curiosity, you can even weep along the story, feel the pain and happiness behind every word. You make people feel heard and give them the compassion that is rare to find.

Hey, River, I hope you're doing good. Your blog has become one of my favorite places to visit. Recently I have been curious about Saturn conjunct ascendant aspect in the first house. I'd like to hear your thoughts about it if you don't mind😊

Hello, hope you're doing good too!

Saturn conjunct Ascendant

Where Saturn is is where you feel you need to constantly striving to be perfect, to master. You're more demanding of yourself, setting up higher standards in that area of your life, for you feel like that house is on hard mode, you have to do more, to put more effort in, compare to other houses. Applying that to the first house, your ascendant, then you can imagine a person who is very serious about the themes of the first house.

They want to present a perfect image, they can be fussy about their appearance, sometimes to the point of self-critical. Can be modest in styling, prefer lasting garments, timeless looks.

Can look older than their age. Or wiser.

Very self-controlled, you won't find them acting and reacting in a wild manner. Their expression and gesture can be frigid. Their eyes can seem to convey judgments.

Have an erected posture, they walk in a straight line, slow and deliberate.

You would hear the word "rule" frequently in their talks.

A perfectionist, they conduct themselves properly and expect the same from others.

Dependable and efficient, once they are committed to something, they will get it done, perfectly.

Can be demanding, wanting others to follow their rules exactly.

Independent, a "no one can do it exactly how I want it like I do" mindset.

Very cautious, it takes a long time for them to start something, they need to investigate, to devise a plan and stick to it.

Quietly ambitious.

Can have a weak constitution when younger, but get stronger as they age.

Self-confidence is their lifelong lesson.

Hello! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to inquire some knowledge from you regarding stelliums in the birth chart? I have a rather big stellium in cancer in my 4H with the planets: sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars (and north node)… How do you think any stellium (doesn't have to be in cancer or in the 4H, but if you want to get specific sure!) would manifest itself in a person? Thank you and have a great day!

Hello, You really have a big stellium! I've already answered this question before, you can view the post here.

How you pursue them - how they want to be pursued

I made a "how they pursue you" reading (you can read it here) so I figured a version from your side is needed. After all, it takes two to tango. This reading was done with your future spouse/lover/partner in mind.

This is a general reading meant for multiple people. Take only what resonates and leave out the rest.

Your feedback is much appreciated. If you find the reading resonated with you, leave a comment, I’d love to know 🎐

STRAWBERRY QUARTZ

If you're someone who's more direct, action oriented and wants thing to move at a fast pace, you might need to slow down and adopt a softer energy towards them. They need to feel an emotional and spiritual connection with you first in order to slowly fall for you. And that connection can be built based upon many small bricks of consideration and practical actions.

The first practical thing that you can do for them is probably be practical and take care of their practical needs, especially when it comes to food, feed them, prepare food for them, and take them out to eat. A fulfilled stomach makes them feel more at ease with you. Displaying emotional stoicism is another way to show them that they can be at ease with you. Being calm in the face of difficulties, rolling your sleeves to solve the problems without complaining, not overreacting or being overly dramatic. They will feel that conflicts with you can be solved diplomatically without being emotionally draining.

They're attracted to consistency and stability, if you do act consistently, it should send a message to them that you're serious and dependable, that they can count on you to not change your mind and heart suddenly and be wishy washy. I think they are wary of unpredictability and emotional unavailability, this could be due to their past experiences, they would often attract this kind of people and the experiences left a deep scar in their heart. So now they look for predictability, even repetitiveness in actions of the other party. If you say you're going to do something, be sure to actually do it, and on time. The fastest way to turn them off would be to say you forgot to do something that you had stated or, worse yet, promised to do.

Sometimes they can feel lonely or pessimistic about the future, this is when you need to be their sunshine, bring more joy to their life, get them out of that gloomy mood. You can offer to do something together, not something that would make them uncomfortable or more anxious of course, things that they can relax yet focus on the physical reality, like making pottery, going for a walk, going to somewhere with many people around, but be sure to not leave them alone, stay close to them all the time. Then subconsciously, they will gradually feel a link with you, their heart will carve a space for you, tiny at first, but will expand gradually.

ROSE QUARTZ

This person is attracted to the idea of fateful love or love at first sight. They want to feel a sense of spiritual connection with the other person. Love should feel transcendental to them. You will have better luck at capturing their attention by flitting in and out of their life than constantly being in their face all the time. A chance meeting stays in their mind longer than the face of someone they see every day, at least initially. When you guys have gotten closer, the opposite would be true, they need your constant presence to feel secure. This person can be hard to pin down with their myriad wishes and expectations, you will feel like walking in a maze when trying to find a way to get closer to them. Maybe it's their way to test your patience and resolve. Be consistent, but still show them some surprises now and then.

If you're already involved in their daily life and want to create that sense of serendipity and fatefulness, try to find any common points that you share and gently, subtly point to those in your conversation. Remember, those things have to be real, not made up just to score a point with them. They're good at detecting lies and pretense, so any display of those traits will go straight to their "stay away" list. When communicating with them, it's best to keep it real as much as possible. Be moderate with flowery words and excessive praises, it seems insincere and will trigger their suspicion, once they're suspicious of you, they will always in the mindset of looking for red flags, even when they don't exist, their walls will grow thicker around you. They actually like a more intense and straight to the point style of communication. When both of you feel comfortable enough with each other, talking about taboo or deeper psychological topics is welcomed, but mixed it with optimism and light-hearted banters here and there also. Remember, they can be a little contradictory, they welcome heavier topics, but they don't want those to dominate your conversations, they like a deep person but who won't drag them down. You can vent to them, spill out your darkest secrets, and they won't flinch. But they will begin to feel weary if that's the only thing you do without expressing any desire to make the situation better or refusing to get out of what's holding you back. Because through this, they can assess your ability to navigate future problems with them. They will also look at your aspirations, your hopes and plans for the future, it's okay if you're still confused about those, as long as you're open-minded, you can even ask for their advice and help, they like to be helpful.

They actually like it when you're the one doing the pursuing, or at least, show your intentions clearly to them, you can say to them outright that you like them or want to date them, marry them even. If they already have some feelings for you, they will reciprocate truthfully, if not, they will give an honest reply tactfully. As long as you're not being too aggressive about it, they're open to the possibility even if they haven't developed any feelings for you yet.

CITRINE

This person likes someone who is in their power and knows what they want. They like assertive and confident people. So they'll probably welcome it if you actively pursue them. But not in the desperate and clingy way, though, which is what they really dislike. Being showy for the sake of showing off is also a no-no, if you buff yourself up just to appeal to their type, they will probably sense it. They want true confidence, a little of haughtiness even. The assertiveness and directness I'm talking about here doesn't need to be directed only at them and the connection, if you show those traits outside of the connection, it's actually even better. In work, in executing tasks, in speeches, in the pursuit of knowledge, they like someone who has goals, one who dares to dream lofty dreams and is willing to put in the work to make those dreams real. You don't need to be a high achieving person or be a boss or anything, what they look for in a person is the authority over oneself, the drive to success and the vision. So sharing your dreams with them, being efficient, show off a little bit of your achievements, tastefully and subtly, mentioning them only in passing, don't emphasise them.

You can be intense and be romantic as much as you like. It might surprise them at first, but they will secretly like it. Write them notes, send them poems, share songs with hidden meaning, and give them gifts on random days, all of these will stir their romantic heart. They like the feeling of love and romance transporting them out of the boring, mundane world, like those love stories shown in novels and movies. The more repetitive their daily routine is, the more they want to feel the randomness and surprises given to them by someone else. You can do quirky things, invite them to creative workshops, somewhere they can relax and have fun. Be a little unpredictable and casual, but don't play hot and cold, you will find them disappearing faster than turning a page.

Showing your intention early on won't be a problem, but don't put any pressure and expectations on them, just state your intention like a fact, a truth that you want them to know. They will appreciate the freedom you can give them. They will also appreciate your wisdom, a beautiful mind turns them on more than any beautiful outer shell a person may have. Share the interesting things you've learnt, your experiences, especially your travel anecdotes, share what you find beautiful and touching, those things will bring you guys closer faster than any physical flirting.

RED JASPER

I think the best way for you to appeal to their heart is to show your vulnerability in the most authentic way. This person values authenticity above all else, all the messy emotions, the shame and guilt you hide, they want to see them all laid bare before them. This is a way for them to test your resolve and resilience, though they're also attracted to tenderness and vulnerability in a person. They're probably an intense person themselves, so they need someone who can match them, who's not afraid to be real with them. But don't dump your deep dark secrets on them when you're still in the initial stage of getting to know each other. They appreciate courage and a forthright spirit, but they don't want to be your therapist from the get-go. They probably need to feel appreciated too, being able to be real with you too, it's an equal give and take, an exchange between hearts and souls, not a confession session. When they feel that they can trust you enough to tell you their more private thoughts and feelings, this is a crucial and decisive moment, the way you would react and respond will be registered into their mind forever, almost like you're being observed by a judge.

Their mind can be quite heavy with dark thoughts and gloomy outlooks and they need someone who can bring more colours into their psyche. You can show they how to appreciate life's beauty more, gently lead them into a more bright place, let them have the chance to relax and be in the present moment. Something colourful will have that effect on them, you can surprise them with small gifts like flowers and plants, candies, hot drinks, soft pillows, cool water touching their feet, birds, cuddly pets, cakes, things you make yourself, things that can stimulate their five senses more. That would include your clothes or your scent. They need something to be of contrast to their grey inner landscape.

You can also stimulate their mind with conversations about all kinds of different topics, they would probably be interested in esoteric topics, spirituality, personal belief system, the unknown, travel, books. If you guys are not engaging in mental gymnastic, you can go for the physical one, swimming or skiing, roller coaster riding might be their favourites. They need to feel a sense of active and dynamic in your energy, almost like they need a warm light to surround themselves with, someone to add a touch of magical feeling to their mundane existence and introduce them to deeper facets of life.

Howdy, River! 👋 I know major aspects are important to astrology, but what's your opinions on the minor aspects (eg. quincunx, biquintile, etc.)? Do you tend to shrug them off or find certain ones more useful over others? 🤔 (For me, I find quincunx aspects fascinating for considering traits to watch out for within myself, but that's just how I personally use them! 🤷) Thanks for reading this! 🙇 - Leo

Hello Leo, I use quincunx and quintile/biquintile for the natal chart but not for synastry. Other than those three, I don't use other minor aspects.

In my opinion, quintile and biquintile add a certain flair to the person, like a subtle background music that you don't pay too much attention to but makes the whole atmosphere more interesting.

Quincunx is more "conflicting", two planets need to be compromise with each other to reach an agreement. A person with a chart full of quincunxs can be contradictory. In my observation, rather than fusing the two planets together, quincunx requires the two to take turn, to be this but also that.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

[fishnapple]

Hi River, I hope you are doing well! I love reading your input on the different astrological placements, its what I look forward to every week 😆Thank you so much for answering our queries <3 I would love to hear your thoughts regarding moon opposite saturn in the natal chart if possible!

Hello, thank you for your kind words.

Moon opposite Saturn

For Moon opposite Saturn, I would think of four key words : Vulnerability, Nourishment, Slowing down and Stability. There can be struggles and opportunities for growth in these four areas.

Moon is changeable, vulnerable and needs lots of nourishment, but with Saturn oppositing it, Moon can feel like its needs are not met. That there's is something "improper" about its needs, that it need to regulate and act more "grown-up" to not disappoint a "critic", often of their own. Saturn puts restrictions on Moon.

If the person lacks maturity and enough self-awareness, this placement can hinder their emotional growth. Their early environment might not be very encouraging of their emotional display, so they learnt to bottle everything up. The person might need to learn self-parenting early in life. To be self-reliant and independent. To perform to a perceived set of rules and standards.

Inside, they can feel oddly vulnerable, as if everything has the ability to hurt them. But outside, they project a stoic, sometimes cold demeanor as a defense mechanism against hurt. Crying or strong display of emotions, whether joy or sadness, disappointment or anger, all are avoided.

TW: *mentions of possible eating disorder* As a manifestation of Saturn's restrictive nature affecting the Moon, some can feel the lack of appetite frequently. Some can feel hungry but don't want to indulge. Or don't like the act of eating. They might put restrictions on their diet and would feel guilty when they "binge" on something. They don't allow themselves to let "loose" and enjoy things completely. A more healthy expression is they take nutrition seriously and are discriminating about what they eat.

As they grow older, they learn to get more comfortable with their emotional side and be more relaxed, able to let loose more. A mature manifestation of this aspect is their emotional dependability and stability as they know how to regulate their emotions effectively. Another trait is once they're emotionally committed to something or someone, they stay faithful for a very long time, only pull away when their trust is broken.
