astro notes except it’s only one note and it’s a question pt. 3

is it just me or wherever you have taurus is areas you can easily access and grasp the energy of?

ex. taurus ascendant/1st house it is easy to understand your appearance.

taurus 5th house easy to access your playful side when you want to.

taurus 12th house it is easy for you get stuck in your subconscious and send/receive subliminal messages.

taurus 2nd house have efficient access to income.

taurus venus/2nd house easy to understand and find your personal style.

the list goes on and also i saw someone say that wherever you have taurus placements that’s where others think you have it easy and this post was inspired by that however i couldn’t find it and i apologize for that!!

the overlooked and unexplored unconventionality of the other fixed signs in comparison to aquarius

whenever the topic of unconventionality pops up aquarius placements are put at the forefront and they’re reputation revolves around being these original thinkers and having all these eccentric traits. the cake should also go to leo and scorpio and here’s why!

pic can be found here: https://weheartit.com/entry/346463788

when i tell you scorpio placement truly enjoy being “not like the rest” i mean it. instead of thinking it embarassing and shying away from the abnormal they embrace it. and the enjoy it even further when people think of them as weird and almost an outcast? i think it’s really cool how they truly do not give one fuck and bask in their weird ass interests!! that sounds so backhanded but i still think my point stands LMAO.

leo is the opposite of aquarius of course they share a similar air to them. leo wants to be recognized for their distinct tastes. they want the reputation of being the it girl (or person/boy) but paving their own way to being THE it girl (or person/boy) in their own fashionable way.

taurus needs their flowers and we need them now! i am tired of our venusian creativity going overlooked! putting together materials and prints together before it was cool and then complaining that everyone is doing it as a trend is literally the core of taurus culture. we are also so stubborn our beliefs are unshakeable and while others may think one thing there’s always a taurus to speak on the opposition!

☾☽

in conclusion, aquarius of course is great at their unconventionality but they’ve gotten their flowers for it too many times and it’s time for the fixed energies to be recognized for their similar yet distinct traits !

thanks, sisi

opposing dominant signs / opposing sign placement and degree

if two your most dominant signs are opposites or one of your personal placement have a certain sign that is opposite to the sign in its degree this post is for you!!

ex: sag n gemini dom

or

moon in sag in the 3rd degree

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾　　 ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

aries n libra:

pic can be found here: https://vsco.co/starryeyesinspo/gallery

you have the inner battle of wanting to quickly, efficiently tackle a problem. leading with your gut feeling directly < (aries, mars) and thinking things through, rationalizing the issue at hand and wanting to hear both sides. < (libra, venus)

the middle ground is your passion to lead and grant fairness. both aries and libra want things to play out correctly which means for them everyone gets what they deserve.

taurus n scorpio:

pic can be found here: https://duxuebing.tumblr.com/post/190380238417/photography-by-xuebing-du

do you have the inner battle of how you’re going to gain security? are you going to do it in taurean way where are you guide yourself and pave your own path, with your deeply rooted beliefs on your own moral terms? (2H, taurus) or will you dig deep, and in a more unconventional way search for Intel that will give you the upper hand and pave your way in a more action oriented way? < (mars, scorpio)

the middle ground is keeping things under wraps. they are both so good at keeping a secret and respecting others privacy for the sake of their comfort.

gemini n sag:

pics can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/--joe/

your internal battle is how to gain your knowledge. are you going to present yourself as a more chill person and secretly gain in as people put their trust in you (jupiter, sagittarius) or are you willing to be more mischievous and turn situations in your favor in a more open way on a more local basis? < (mercury, gemini)

the middle ground is also your chaotic side. whether it’s shown more than your stoic, well informed side is not up to me but the chaotic sides of these signs are all too similar to ignore. so playful and funny i enjoy when i see people with both heavy energies in their charts!!

cancer n cap:

pic can be found here: https://www.debraprinzing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/butterfly_-steps.jpg

 your internal battle is what will trigger your protection, trust and what will trigger your vengeance. is what triggers your trust and protection are people who are in dire need of a safe, consistent emotional space (moon, cancer) or people who lack resources, need something provided that may be an emotional space but I can be also other things (saturn, capricorn).?

the middle ground is how easily you create solutions for others at their lowest. your thinking, your nurturing is needed.

leo n aqua:

your inner battle is how you’re going to get your attention. are you going to admit your need for attention and how that feed your ego and put yourself out there in a way that other people can simply just not ignore your presence (sun, leo) or are you going to be more stoic, calm, cool and want to be perceived as a mysterious and get attention from that type of presence? < (saturn, aquarius)

the middle ground is quite obviously your pride. it is in need for protection from those who are jealous of it!

virgo n pisces:

pic can be found here: https://www.1stdibs.com/art/prints-works-on-paper/abstract-prints-works-on-paper/jordan-tiberio-liquid-mirrors-7/id-a_1196273/?utm_campaign=pinterest+shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=pinterest&item_group_id=PG_a1196273&epik=dj0yJnU9aElKc0FocDR1MUk2d1RLcFVYanZXN0g5VVo5MG9Vc0cmcD0wJm49NWUyVGF3a0hDemFqdWhOcTZPVjZCUSZ0PUFBQUFBR0VYVFpB

your inner battle is how you’re going to save others. are you going to calculate how others should go about their lives and see what they are doing wrong and provide advice from a birds eye view (mercury, virgo) or are you going to emotionally provide and offer empathy and understanding as a way of helping? < (jupiter, pisces)

the middle ground is your devotion to wanting others to prosper and wanting to be apart of the process to help them prosper! your willingness to listen too.

hope you enjoyed !!

xoxo, sisi

virgo degree on the 4th/10th house axis:

y’all had self aware parental figures. they were calculated and also scattered it’s that mercurial energy though don’t blame them. they definitely had their critiques and had that side eye (if you have a parent with a virgo placement you know). they made sure every part of your day was flowing the way it’s supposed to and that may have been how they showed their love, by being attentive to your needs and foreseeing possible obstacle and ensuring you don’t have to deal with them. let’s just say they were prepared for the worst.

libra degree in the 4th/10th house axis:

ₓ˚. ୭. ୧ .˚.ₓ. ･*. :༅. ｡ .｡. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚. ୧ .˚ ₓ

capricorn degree in the 4th/10th house axis:

your figures got their s*** done. they had a presence that screamed authority. they knew how to play their cards right and were maybe a bit stoic. despite this they knew went to live it up and when it was grind time! they gave a lot of energy into their public image and spent a lot of time thinking about how other view them.

aquarius degree in the 4th/10th house axis:

ok cool calm and collected much? your figures had this like eccentric and cool persona. they loved attention…would they admit to it though??? mmmm…no. they may have been innovative and have such out of this world ideas. revelations that could have never dawned upon you unless this parent brought it up. networked so well and gave you the proper connections when you needed it.

ₓ˚. ୭. ୧ .˚.ₓ. ･*. :༅. ｡ .｡. ₓ˚. ୭ ˚. ୧ .˚ ₓ

pisces degree in the 4th/10th house axis:

your figures were understanding. they may have been hard to reach. maybe physically away or lost in their own mental plane. they found beauty in everything and may have given others too many chances. super willing to give away everything, and waste no time to save their child when they perceive that they are in danger. may have had a huge subconscious affect on you that you only started noticing later in life.

tysm!!! i tried 😭😭

astro notes pt. 3

these are all personal observations and interpretations. to me astrology is about fun so tread lightly with my understanding.

photo from pinterest n @black-hippie-moonchild

arguing with someone with moon in the 9th house may be harder because of their passion. you feel their passion. you can feel their knowledge, possibly intimidating...

^^^

similar to sagittarius placements as of value in their belief system. if their belief system collapses they collapse... (jupetarian energy= wisdom, spirituality, religion)

^^^

this also radiates fixed sign energy...so much effort and energy into their identity when they are arguing about a topic they truly believe in they go IN. fixed dominants i see y’all ;))

photo from pinterest n @mothermishy

black moon libra liliths love them some justice. when people get exactly what they deserve it literally cleanses their soul (i mean this not literally i use that phrase a lot to describe something that i consider nourishing).

people with water in the 7th house fall in love with musicians or those guitarists on their for you page.

cancer suns have THOSE eyes. those dewy, beautiful, dreamy eyes. their eyes are so welcoming, gentle, and caring and just screams trusting.

leo in the 12th house let’s talk about it!

here’s my brief brief interpretation: the 12th house according to astro.com’s brief introduction to astrology is “... where we step back for a greater whole or lose ourselves in one.” having leo in any hows shows where we are passionate and shine. what feeds our ego, what motivates us, what gives us respect. having leo in this house may mean that the person is fueled by giving and helping. being more useful per day. doing something for the greater whole.

i feel like we forget often how giving uranus as a planet is. just like the planets ruler: aquarius, the themes of the planet besides shock and rebellion, revolve around community. uranus is a caring, giving planet. that’s why socialism is ruled by uranus as @astroalive stated in their “Astrological Rulerships of Governmental Matters”.

check out their post here !!: https://astroalive.com/post/174619134397/governments-officials-and-related-activities-are

the following includes an oversimplified description of socialism:

think of the themes of socialism. one of the main themes are “redistribution”. insuring everyone has access to certain resources. it’s about a community effort that’s results according to theory, benefit the community.

^^^

adding onto the rebellion portion i think it’s more of rebelling not in this big show-offy way but uranus dominants tend to have simple things they alter from the common, status quo.

virgo n gemini mercuries we are just a stream of consciousness aren’t we?

jupiter dominants or jupiterian’s may always be put on a pedestal if some kind. may be liked for doing the same others do or receive more for doing less. don’t rely on this luck always however my fellow jupetarians!

enough mental energy was spent on this i’m out yall ...until next time <3

Urania Persona Chart

I want to make this dynamic since there are a lot of talented, beautiful, awesome, godlike, perfect and incredible astrologers in tumblr. This is the analysis of my Urania Persona Chart, and I’m going to make a tag from this! Everyone that is interested can participate!!!😎✨

I’m tagging (of course, just if they want to do it): @venusfun​​ @hillarysss​​ @saintzjenx​​ @guxciestone​​ @neptune-midheaven​​ @rattaemin​​ @sailor-solar​​ 

My Urania Persona Chart

Ohhh, where to start? I love this a lot🧡🤗🧡

🐣 Cancer Ascendant (approach): I have an emotional deep for astrology. My mother is in love with these subjects and she encouraged me to keep studying astrology (actually she was the only one who supported me from my family). I’m attached to astrology since I was a kid and I’m still in love with it. Also that Urania in Leo at the 1st house… many astrologers that I admire are Leo, not to mention the fact that I see astrology as something really important and worthy.

🐣Stellium in the 12th house: My approach to it is spiritual, deep and, again, emotional. Astrology is my sanctuarium, is my safe place and where I feel secure. That stellium over there… wow. I adore helping and healing others through astrology. (Venus in the 29°, I’m known for loving astrology lol).

🐣 Virgo in the third (My learning style): I studied a lot, and really hard. I was really devoted towards it. I started at a young age (25°, Aries degree). I learned form Spanish and English astrologers (Jupiter over there). For me, knowing more and more about astrology was an adventure, a journey, and of course something interesting and fun.

🐣 Scorpio and Pluto in the 5th house (Passionate about…): Diving. Diving really deep. Knowing my karma, knowing as much as I can. I love deep and long investigations, I’m really curious. Also, it is curious the fact that all Sagittarius is encaged there, and I love teaching lmao.

🐣 Capricorn in the 6th (My working style): Professional, almost workaholic. Like I mentioned before, I’m really passionate towards this. I use to do payed readings and I had luck in it (which I’m totally grateful for). 

🐣 Uranus in the 8th: I love experimentation. I love trying new things (like this). And omgggg, did you see the Moon? It is in Pisces, at the 8th house, 20°20 (scorpio degrees), again, need to go deep, need to investigate, to move between each astrology subject. 

🐣 9th house (Teaching style): That Aries Mars makes my teaching style dynamic (sometimes aggressive lol), quick and simple. I dislike filling your minds with unnecesary data, I like going right on the subject, bluntly. Part of Fortune, luck or prestige by teaching (🥺). North Node, I was meant to teach (🥺🥺🥺).

🐣 10th house (What astrologer you are?… ha, sounds like a buzzfeed test lmao): Aries… The passionate one. Unpredictable. Sometimes “here, have 20 posts in one day!”, sometimes “meh, 2 are fine”. May get into a lot of debates because of protecting astrology. Should I make a post about this?

🐣11th house (How do internet people perceive you): Taurus, encaged Gemini and a little of Cancer. I suppose that maybe nice and comfy, with it’s jovial and informative touches. And Cancer… emotional? Sweet? Also asteroid Talent over there, maybe you see me as talented, or at least good at explaining things.

Wish you all a magnificent day, my dear readers! Take care and sending you big hugs🧡🤗🧡

what she said ^^

Astro Observation whilst high pt.3

(i need to chill out on smoking)

🕺🏽 Saturn in 1st natives may see themselves as lessons for people to come by. Like as if their main purpose is to teach them something crucial in life and it varies from person to person.

🕺🏽 Men with Virgo personal placements seem to be surprised when people genuinely confess their romantic feelings. I can’t tell if it’s humble or their self esteem is low

🕺🏽 All the short men I’ve dated had a pisces Mars or Aquarius Mars no matter the rising’s degree, they were short ranging from 5’4 to 5’7 .

🕺🏽 Pisces Mars Men are sexually fluid, like they’re some kinky bitches and may be into domination, pegging, etc. Their masculinity isn’t in question when it comes to these interests (depends on the person tho)

🕺🏽 3rd House Stellium in a composite chart could indicate that person being like the main person you converse with. It’s giving Bestie energy 🤸🏽‍♀️

🕺🏽 Lilith in 6th people may like tiny drama in their every day life, it’s just addicting. They don’t want shit to stress over but they most definitely like viewing the action. The type to record all school fights or know all the drama.

🕺🏽 Leo Risings really aren’t that popular from the ones that I know, they just know a lot of people by association. They’re lowkey but in their friend groups they may be the main focus or the one to initiate plans. They’re very helpful though ! They love playing matchmaker 🙏🏽

🕺🏽Moon Conj. Asc is a great aspect in my opinion because people usually view innocence and naivety but behind the surface there are so many hidden things. I feel like this a good placement for manipulation because it screams Wolf in Sheep’s clothing. People usually view this placement as unaware or just sensitive so if you play your cards right, you can literally get anything you want. (Yes I have this placement and it’s easy to finesse but don’t forget karma 🤸🏽‍♀️)

🕺🏽 The Scorpio Moons I know (including myself) have one parent who has an Aries moon. And their parents had them at a young age which reminds me of like a kid raising a kid because usually the Parent isn’t developed ):

🕺🏽 OKAY HEAR ME OUT, I just thought about this. So the house that your Venus is in, is where you’d want the most activity in your composite chart (Romantically or Platonically).

🤸🏽‍♀️ Like if your Venus is in the 5th house and the composite chart between you and the other person has a 5th house Stellium then you’ll genuinely be on some “So, This is Love?”. It could feel like it’s a fantasy or meant to be 🥴

(I did half of this post while sober I’m sorry 🥲)

How to Help Combat Anti–Asian American Violence

I know there is a history of racial animosity between Blacks and Asians in the United States, but that’s a much more complicated conversation for a different day. All Black and Brown people need to stand together to stop this.

How to Help Combat Anti–Asian American Violence

By Angelina Chapin@angelinachapin

On Tuesday, eight people were killed in shootings at three Atlanta-area spas. Six of the victims were Asian women. Police have arrested a suspect, a 21-year-old white man named Robert Aaron Long who may have been en route to Florida to carry out more shootings, according to Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Long told investigators he had a sex addiction and wanted to “eliminate any temptation.” The horrific murders come during a surge in violence and hate crimes against Asian Americans. Over the past 11 months, there have been nearly 3,800 incidents reported to the forum Stop AAPI Hate, a disproportionate number of them directed at women, spurred in part by racism linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and fueled by the former president’s discriminatory comments about the “Kung Flu.” (In a post-election survey, one in six Asian Americans said they had faced COVID-19-related racism.) Many of these incidents involve racial slurs and violence: a man was recently attacked in a New York City subway station, a woman was shoved to the ground outside a Queens bakery, and an educator’s finger was severed after he was assaulted at a bus stop in California. Here’s how you can help fight the violence on Asian Americans in the wake of yet another tragedy.

Donate to Georgia-based organizations

Georgia’s Asian American population has doubled in the past two decades, and you can give your money to places that will help keep them safe. In Georgia specifically, organizations like Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAAJ), the Asian American Advocacy Fund (AAF) and the Center For Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS) provide critical support to the community through legal services, policy advocacy, and life-saving resources for new immigrants and refugees. Here’s a good compilation of resources for looking up organizations in your own city.

Support Asian American women

Asian women face sexist and racist obstacles that block them from having control of their bodies, accessing health care, or feeling safe in the workplace. The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF) fights for reproductive health and rights and has worked to defeat sex-selective abortion bans and other forms of medical racial profiling. You can help improve conditions for Asian and migrant sex workers through the grassroots collective Red Canary Song, which organizes for decriminalization and labor rights, as well as Butterfly, which runs a 24/7 hotline and provides emergency support to help keep workers safe. You can also give to the California-based Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA) or to the Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance (KIWA), which help improve conditions for immigrants in other low-wage jobs in the garment, hotel, and home-care industries in Los Angeles.

Take bystander-intervention training

Many of the recent hate crimes against Asian people have happened in public places. Trying to diffuse a situation requires the proper skills, which you can acquire by taking a free, online bystander intervention course run by the groups Hollaback! and Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC). Organizers will talk about the spectrum of disrespect Asians are facing, from microaggressions to violence, and discuss five strategies for intervention. As a next step, you can also take a conflict de-escalation course in which you will practice responding to real-life scenarios.

Volunteer in your community

The recent attacks have left many Asian people scared to leave their homes. Volunteer to accompany elderly Asian Americans walking around in your community (there are groups in Oakland and New York that organize these efforts), support Asian-run businesses in your city, join local organizations, and check in on friends and family in this demographic to see if there’s anything else you can do to help. If you are the victim of or a witness to any hate incidents, report them to Stop AAPI Hate or Stand Against Hatred.

Educate yourself about racism against immigrants, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs)

The first step in fighting against racism is understanding its roots. Discrimination against Asians is often either framed as xenophobia or hidden behind the “model minority” myth. Read up on how America abused Chinese laborers during California’s gold rush, or on how they built America’s first transcontinental railroad, only to be banned from coming to America with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. The U.S. has a long, racist past of blaming Asian American workers for driving down wages and taking jobs, which led to the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, a Chinese American auto worker and other acts of violence. America has segregated, imprisoned, and taken away basic rights from Asians throughout history. To learn more, PBS’s five-part documentary Asian Americans and Iris Chang’s book The Chinese in America are great places to start. For more contemporary discussions, read Cathy Park Hong’s essay collection, Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning, or check out the YouTube documentary series about racism during the pandemic, Asian American Stories in the Time of Coronavirus.
