“Don’t give them a taste of their own medicine. They already know what it tastes like. Give them a taste of your own medicine. If they lied, let your medicine be honesty. If they played with your emotions, let your medicine be maturity. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it means removing yourself from lives that you want to be in. You are, no doubt, worthy of being valued for who you are. So be who you are.”

— Najwa Zebian

Astrology observations - Part 3 (use whole signs)

🎀 For a lot of people with moon in 7th house, their mother had a huge impact on their personality (in a good or bad way). They'll either admire her a lot and try to be more like her or, do their best to not be like her. Their mother usually has a lot of say in who they marry. If the ascendant lord is not strong, then these people completely change after marriage and start to behave in a way in which their spouse would like them to.

🐈‍⬛Saturn in 9th house people can be really good when it comes to their career, they end up getting promoted earlier than others, but I've noticed that they prefer to work alone. It's like, they create something, but they would like someone else to market and sell it since communication is not their strong suit. Can be very introverted, not the best at taking initiatives, are very prone to undermining themselves.

🎀 moon in 11th house people have a really good relationship with their kids (unless it's debilitated). It doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, it's the same for both. They're the parents who have a very "chill" relationship with their kids, their kids trust them a lot, treat them as a friend. All my friends who have a great and healthy relationship with their parents, 85% of those parents had moon in 11th.

🐈‍⬛ Mars in 5th house people have such an "interesting" dating life; love triangles, friends with benefits, they've (or will) experienced it all. The people to say "it's complicated" when you ask them about their love life. But I've also seen that these people are very accepting of other people's dating preferences, this is one of the things that I really admire about them, this can result in them having a very diverse group of friends.

🎀 Jupiter aspecting ascendant/midheaven is one of the best placements that you could possibly have. I was going through celebrities' charts and I noticed that the ones who were exceptionally popular or rich had this like 90% of the time. With opposition and square it can indicate that people hate you at first, but then some info comes out and suddenly everyone loves you, but you gotta go through the hate first. Conjunction can go either way depending on the sign.

🐈‍⬛ Saturn in 4th house women have my full respect, like, these people go through so much shit in their life and yet they're so hardworking and never give up. Their mother was probably their worst enemy growing up. If you know someone who has this, give them a hug, they're carrying so much burden, and yet they never show it. You'll never hear these people complaining about life, have a very, "it's okay, problems come and go, you can't be sad all the time" mentality.

🎀 Sun in 1st house people make me so angry, I don't get along with them. They have such a shitty personality, and always wanna fight for absolutely no reason. Start a beef out of nowhere, but they are so fucking good at their job, that's actually what makes me hate them more. My class representative has this, and she's such a bitch, but she's so responsible, it breaks my fucking heart, can't even complain 😔

🐈‍⬛ Mercury in 11th house people have unmatched Rizz, will charm the pants off you (unless it's debilitated). I'm so jealous of people who have this. I know people with this, who are not conventionally attractive but their charm is what makes people like them. I never knew what it meant to be attracted to someone's personality until I met someone who had this. (I know this sounds like a backhanded compliment, but it's really not)

🎀 I have never in my life met a moon in 8th house person who was like....okay. these people will have a mental breakdown almost every week. Can't take criticism AT ALL. I have seen that people with this have a tendency to date whoever they see once they break up, just to show their ex how "wanted" they are, and it's not healthy because a lot of their hook ups have bad intentions. Have a habit of playing the victim "everyone bullies me 🥺" "I have the hardest life" and blah blah. On a positive note, they can handle fame really well because of their ability to manipulate people, once you get in their trap and start liking them, you'll never be able to hate them.

🐈‍⬛ I never see people talking about how smart Venus in 3rd house people are. I'm always so amazed by the way they carry conversations. A lot of women who have won beauty paegents have this because of how nice their answers were. A lot of young politicians have this as well. Their juniors often look up to them.

A true life.

[hauntingsofafuturespast]

I think this is the most frequent instance for signs (At least for me) tbh.

sometimes signs are there for a one-time thing— a message you might need to hear at the time, some aid or advice for your circumstances at that specific moment, and that's it, and that's okay

🏴 ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS 2

natives with pluto in the 12th house have the ability to seem like everything is alright, even though they are probably going through the lowest point in their lives. they come off all calm and collected on the surface, but underneath, there’s a whole world of intense emotions and unresolved trauma going on.

saturn square ascendant natives may feel compelled to limit their self-expression (this usually results in their rising sign qualities being hindered). this tendency often stems from childhood experiences of having strict rules and limitations imposed upon them, possibly by parents or authority figures who viewed their spontaneous behavior as “immature.” they were constantly shushed, which caused them to be highly cautious about how they present themselves to others, often wearing a cold, serious face, but deep down they hide their fun, childlike nature in fear of being criticized. 🎭

natives with pluto in the 7th house tend to become suspicious when others get too close to them. often times, these people think others always harbor motives against them or are taking advantage of them. this mindset often stems from past close relationships, whether romantic or platonic, where they felt controlled and used. as a result, they develop a desire for control in relationships, asserting power to avoid being dominated.

mercury-pluto people have no filter at all. very blunt and direct; their words may unsettle others. they can come across as judgmental or too critical due to their honesty, which can sometimes lead them into arguments. these people can smell lies from far away 🔍

sun conjunct neptune / 12th house suns 🤝 no father figure, weak father figure, an unreliable father, father with addictions, abusive father, father living away

lilith conjunct pluto natives carry intense and buried emotions that can explode when they sense someone trying to exert power or dominance over them. they value their independence greatly and have a tendency to react aggressively when they feel their freedom is threatened. these people are acutely aware of their own inner dark qualities and can also recognize such aspects in others. besides these, they tend to notice and are deeply affected by the injustice and oppression happening in their surroundings.

saturn in the 2nd house natives might feel compelled to consistently share or surrender possessions, resulting in a sense of lacking or deprivation. this behavior may have roots in parental actions, such as taking away their belongings and not buying them things. this early pattern affected their self-esteem, leading to the belief that they’d never attain good things in life.

It seems like there is a decision that you are avoiding and the cards are trying to get you to see it.

Currently doing a deep dive into the Two of Swords as this card has been hounding me all week. Multiple decks used and this freaking card keeps cropping up. Does anyone else have experiences like this?

ASTRO VENUS OBSERVATIONS BY MB:

Aries Venus: loves the chase. Yet not the chase everyone assumes. the chase where, if you’re not going to fully show your complete devotion and risk it all for them, go to the ends of the earth for them, then what ? Don’t worry though, after you do that they’re done with you and onto the next!

Capricorn Venus: You do right by them and they do right by you. Nothing complicated, nothing extra. Just straight simple rules and that’s it. Nothing needs to be too extreme. The small things matter most of all. None of the theatrics are needed. Are you in this for the long term or not?

Sagittarius Venus: Try new things with them. Travel new places with them. Don’t be scared to show them off and always remind them that they’re the sh!t! Because they know they are. They should be catered to, like the kings/queens they are. Everything they want must be given to them at the same very moment they ask for! You’re THEIRS & no one else’s.

Taurus Venus: You like them? They want you to show them.. Buy them the most expensive thing in the store. When they want to cuddle and be babied you must honor their wishes. Oh and don’t worry, they’ll shower you with gifts as well. But they love to see someone financially independent, if you’re physically stable and well off, then the relationship is as well. They love love! Don’t make them hate you.

Libra Venus: In love with the idea of being in a relationship with you, not actually you. Fairytale love, it must be done or else they lose interest very fast. They’ll stick around If you’re pretty/handsome enough, or if your looks meets up to their standards. Can you make them look good? Do you make them look better?

Pisces Venus: If you make them feel good once they will remember it for the rest of their entire lives. Can’t handle being ghosted because the imagination and made up image they had of you in their heads do not go along with that action. Will do anything for you if they really love you. Each and every one of them has a story about the one that got away.. & they will sacrifice their own boundaries in order to be with their person.

Gemini Venus: Catch their attention, for their span is too short. Surprisingly they are attracted to the mysterious ones, the ones that don’t really say much but when they end up saying something it’s something that’s out of this world. Something that these gem natives never really thought about and trust me gem venuses think about everything. They also like a provider, a dominant hand so they can finally let go of the independent facade they have going on.

Leo Venus: Tell them they’re pretty. Make them feel like what they’re doing & saying it’s greatly important and that they make sense. They also like someone that’s in the spotlight as well, someone that they can take pride of. The sentimental things matter and romance is a big deal for them. Loyalty as well, but that doesn’t mean they will keep you in a cage.

Scorpio Venus: Will run small games and try to get answers out of you but it’s because they’re trying to see if you’re actually serious or not. They flirt with their eyes, and their touch will be so subtle it makes you wonder if they really know what they’re doing. Once you’re theirs then you’re apart of them, their other half. They will do things to provoke you but they just want to see how much you care.

Aquarius Venus: Enjoys the tease and the banter part within the first stage. Wants to see how comfortable they can get with you before they decide if they really want you or not. Can they really be their true selves around you or are you just going to judge? Can you understand their mind… are you able to tame them? What is so special about you that everyone else doesn’t have?

Cancer Venus: If you’re not going to be faithful and spend most of your attention on them then don’t even bother. Make them feel loved, admired, cared for. They don’t really ask for anything else but just all of you. Listen to them vent and rant they’ll appreciate that, don’t make them feel unheard. Will protect you like you’re their own kin.

Virgo Venus: Wants to understand and pick out the parts out of you and analyze you as a whole. Wants to know why you act this way and why you are the way you are. What is deep inside of you that intrigues them? How can they help you be better? What can they provide for you so you can be content?

Love this explanation.

“How do spells work if there are so many different spells to cause the same effect?” one might ask.  The answer that witches give is often, “Well, the intention is what really matters,” in which cause you might wonder what the point of ingredients is at all.  Can you really replace every herb with rosemary and have the exact same result as if you used what was called for?  People may have different answers to this, but here’s what I think.  The rules of magic don’t really follow logical structures that we are used to. Magic in particular tends to be difficult to quantify, difficult to study in a laboratory setting, and the effects are difficult to reproduce. That doesn’t make it definitively not real but it means that we have to look at it through a different lens than we are used to.  I am a programmer, and I make analogies to programming a lot. When I was first learning to program, I had an incredibly difficult time with the learning curve. Of course I know now how consistent the logic of programming languages is - but despite the consistency, it is an entirely different way of thinking than the way we think about problem solving in human languages. Both ways of thinking about data have their own structures, but learning to think a different way can be incredibly difficult. People may also encounter this difficulty when learning a human language with a wildly different grammar. 

We don’t really know a lot of things about magic or why it works, and that is why there isn’t a really good, logically consistent answer to these kinds of questions. Maybe intention matters, but maybe the proximity of intention to certain ingredients matters. Maybe the timing matters. Or maybe these are all just dressings to active some force - of the universe or of our own minds - that we don’t know we don’t know about yet.  Maybe some things are just coincidences, and we can’t separate out which things are coincidences and which things are meaningfully caused. Some things are demonstrably placebos - but to most people it will not matter anyway, so long as they get the effect they want.  Witches end up feeling things out. And part of the reason everything is so individualized and non-straightforward is because different things seem to work for different people. But we don’t necessarily know why that is. So witchcraft becomes a craft of sifting through information, trying things, discovering things, and alighting on different things that seem to work for the individual practitioner. And as their magic becomes more advanced, it becomes more difficult to articulate hows, whats, and whys.  A lot of my magic is based on wishing superstitions. I have no idea why, but the trappings of those things work for me. If I ask for something while blowing all of the seeds off a dandelion, it will happen. I can’t just make that seem wish at nothing and have it come true. Does it activate some power in me? Is it based on my own belief? Is it because I was born in February? The reason why this works for me and not for other people could be any number of reasons, but I don’t have a good way of studying those reasons. Meanwhile putting herbs and stones in a jar really seems to work for some people, but doesn’t seem to do much for me at all.  So the answer to the questions I asked at the beginning is basically: no one really knows. People have guesses that are hard to prove or disprove. But plenty of science-minded or skeptical people like myself still engage in the practice of magic because there are discernible patterns to some things - and witchcraft is a search to discover one’s own patterns.
