Flowey didn't reset for Clover during a geno run, just letting Martlet kill them in order to see what happens. Martlet gives Clovers soul to Asgore and is promoted to the Royal Guards Lieutenant
Prison Yuri possible...
Mod is @cybers-sillyzone
No NSFW/anything suggestive
No venting whatsoever, this really isn't the place for that. That and also the person running this account is generally bad with advice and gets stressed when people vent without warning <3
If you send an RP starter but I don't know you well / without asking first I most likely won't reply
I will likely respond to most asks, but if i don't want to / know how to respond I won't. You're more than welcome to send another ask, just don't keep sending the same one over and over again.

We often wake up blurry and it usually (on average) takes around 30 minutes to an hour to figure out who we are. Sometimes longer

knights has a lot of close moments in the article of faith mv and they generally look pretty happy
the only one who doesn't have any of these moments is arashi who looks kinda miserable, or at least stressed (second picture to show that she doesn't always make that expression)
and that makes sense, article of faith takes place during starfes. she was trying to help out valkyrie and it was reminding her of all the fighting from war era which reminded her of her dead friend who she had already been thinking about earlier
the closest arashi gets to a close moment with the other knights are these shots of her reaching out to them
but when we see the other knight reach back, we can’t even see her expression. she may have told leo what happened, but she still always keeps a bit of that distance there. its one of the main things about her that he complains about during requiem
also, tsukasa, ritsu, and izumi all get those close moments with each other, but the only pair that doesn't is leo and izumi who get a similar shot to the one arashi gets
but unlike with arashi, we can see both of their expressions. in starfes they aren’t yet as close as they used to be, but it is the first time izumi calls him “leo-kun” instead of “ou-sama” since their fight (the horror night halloween flashback) + izumi is also beginning to open up to leo about the issues he has with how leo treated him in war era
article of faith is a hugely important knights song bc it’s the first one where leo actually feels like he’s apart of the team and tsukasa is accepted as a teammate by him, but arashi is still distant and izumi and leo still haven’t fully reconnected so im glad the mv shows that
#i havent read all of naru's stories so this is mainly based off of starfes + requiem so it might not be 100% accurate but i thought it was#an interesting thing to see her not interact w/ the other knights much so i wanted to talk about it#enstars#knights#🌒.txt

Lumine/Eula/Zhongli
Fuck/Marry/Cuddle
Fuck/Marry/Cuddle
Diluc lets out a snort, his lips quirking up in an amused half-smile at the crassness of the question. “Quite direct, aren’t we?” He takes a moment to ponder the trio in front of him. “Alright, if I must participate…”
He clears his throat. “I suppose I would… fuck Eula, but only because I feel like it could be a one-time thing. We’re just too dissimilar in our views on many things to get along with each other.” He shifts slightly, a hint of heat rising to his cheeks.
“Cuddling Lumine seems fitting. She looks like she would fit perfectly in my arms, and there’s something comforting about that.” He pauses for a moment, his gaze softening as he thinks of her.
“And as for Zhongli, I’d marry him. I know him well, and we’ve spent quite a bit of time together as partners. Besides, in a marriage, I could do all of the above and more if he also wishes to indulge...” He chuckles softly, shaking his head. “It seems logical, at least.”
#🌒 night has fallen#(( I haven't interacted with a Eula muse so this is generic for Eula ))#(( I had Vee's Lumi in mind and Chuuya's Zhongli that is in a ship with my Diluc ))

ㅤ꒰ 🌒 ── 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 ﹕ com @ghcstlly perto da cozinha. ⊹
Pareceu uma boa ideia me espreitar até a cozinha no meio da madrugada, mas no momento em que pus os pés fora do chalé toda a certeza já tinha se esvaído completamente. Munido com o orgulho e um maldito lapso de coragem, ignorei o pensamento para seguir adiante, mas a ideia só parece cada vez mais estúpida. Está escuro demais para evitar pensar em todas as coisas que podem estar me observando ao meu redor, atentas e cuidadosas, deixando um silêncio intencional preencher o ambiente, exatamente como fazem os predadores que esperam pelo momento certo para atacar. “Ai, meu Jesus Cristinho…”, murmuro sozinho, encarando feito um maluco os cantos escuros que mais parecem servir para camuflar os perigos ao meu redor. Sem nenhum campista para servir de testemunha, imagino que iriam demorar para notar meu sumiço. Caminhando praticamente na ponta do pé, espio por cima do ombro, checando novamente a mesma sombra que suspeito ter se movido enquanto eu não olhava, como se estivesse me seguindo. Não parece muito diferente, mas não dá para descartar a possibilidade. Esbarro em alguma coisa. Alguém. Um indivíduo que, se não havia percebido até então, obviamente acaba de se dar conta da minha presença. Mal dá tempo de analisar o grau de periculosidade do assassino à minha frente, pois minha mão é mais rápida que meus próprios pensamentos ao disparar em direção a cara dele no milissegundo seguinte.

"You work here, right?" Shea asks the blonde, doing her best to look a little helpless, but she can only ever look so innocent. "I need help picking a dress. Trying to impress some clients, but I'm shit at knowing what to look for when it comes to anything a little more formal." She looks the woman over, a smile twitching at the edge of her lips. "And you definitely seem to know your way through a wardrobe," Shea's eyes meet the other's with that ever-present mischievous twinkle, "I wish I could pull of those clothes."

May I request an omega verse where kiribaku adopts omega son pls? thank you!
Adoption
Kirishima x Bakugo w/ child male reader
I gotchu, this took longer than expected ngl
Fluff, baby/toddler reader, male reader, alpha Bakugo, alpha kirishima, Omega reader
🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑
Alpha/Alpha couples were more and more common these days, especially in the hero world "a kid?" Kirishima was curious as Bakugo shrugged "a brat would be nice, we have the space and our agency is thriving.." Bakugo said not making eye contact with his mate who looked at him with so much love "it's like you read my mind~" the Alpha said hugging the other who scoffed "whatever shitty hair"
Days turned to weeks and before they knew it they were at an orphanage where a bunch of kids were running around "welcome! The Kirishima-Bakugo family yes?" The orphanage headmaster asked curiously and the two nodded "yeah that's us!" Kirishima said happily and Bakugo grunted "wonderful, sign the sign in forms and if I could please see ID as confirmation?" The two handed over their IDs and the headmaster scanned them "excellent! Why don't I give you two a tour yes? And then you can meet the children?"
The building was nice, up to date and the children were healthy "so what age range are you looking for? Secondary gender?"
"We were hoping to just click with one and go from there" Bakugo let his mate do the talking as kids looked at them curiously "I see, well let's go to the play area and you can interact with the children"
Walking into the play area, kids were all over the place but one caught Bakugos attention, a small pup grabbed his pant leg "oh hello (name)" the headmaster smiled "he's one of the younger ones, only one and a half" they said and fixed the boys pants "he's a happy little Omega but isn't the most talkative but the other kids don't seem to mind" they explain as (name) raised his little arms to be held by Bakugo who lifted him "what ya want squirt?" He asked the babe who grabbed his nose with a smile.
Kirishima noticed the look in his mates eyes, the connection he instantly developed with the tiny pup who didn't even know he had the number three hero around his tiny little finger.
The three spent the day hanging with the little pup who showed him all the toys he liked to play with, having a red riot toy and a Mickey mouse toy seemingly running or robbing a bakery "very cool bud" kirishima said and (name) beamed at this.
The two made visits at any chance they could as the process started for the adoption, expedited thanks to their hero status and rank, the two already setting up a bedroom for the tyke.
"Yeah it's for you" Bakugo said as he handed the tot a scented Dynamite plush, to help get the little one familiar with their scents as parents which thankfully (name) was incredibly receptive to as he clung to both of them regularly.
"Thanks squirt" Bakugo said as they sat with the little one who handed the blond a toy slice of cake, the three gathered at a toy kitchen and (name) didn't seem to know exactly what he was doing but was having fun none the less "his belongings have been packed, he's ready when you guys are" the two heroes looked elated as kirishima lifted his /son/ high up, the tiny Omega squealing in delight at the action.
It was never easy saying goodbye, the headmaster knew this but they put a strong face as they bud their goodbyes to the tiny pup who mimicked the wave as his little head rested on bakugos shoulder.
They were always worried about (name) getting adopted, male omegas weren't the highest for adoptability not to mention the boy hasn't even developed a quirk yet, sadly many parents didn't want a quirkless child...
(Name) held onto the plush of his dad as he was set down in the apartment, the little Omega inspecting things and waddling around and making little sounds as he sniffed his little nose, clearly happy to be around the two alphas scents-- recognizing that they are his dad's. "Wanna see your room?" Kirishima gently took (name)s tiny hand and led him to his new room, (name) made noises as he looked around and turned to his dads who looked at him fondly "yeah it's yours shorty" Bakugo said, a sense of calm washing over him as they watched the babe look around...before dragging a throw blanket to a corner and ditching it.
The two alphas were confused as little (name) took random soft things and put them in the corner and just stared at it before looking at his dad's happily as if he just did something incredible "is that...?" "A nest? I think so" the two were incredibly proud of their pup and snapped a few pictures of this, kirishima on the verge of tears at how precious it was.
(Name) felt like that last piece of the puzzle as followed his dad's around happily.
They just worried how he would handle all his aunt's and uncles.

ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS PT.2!!
!!my opinion based on the people who’ve I interacted with and also just very random!!
🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌔
If a Cardinal stellium loves you they will care for you and help you in all ways they can, because how much of a passionate person they are.
Aries moon = longing for a relationship
Water sun + sag moon = being annoying and sometimes stuck in a bad mood.
If a person has no earth placements, best believe they can’t drive good 😭 but isa okay bc HOT GIRLS = CANT DRIVEE
Aries moons never stop talking, like even if no one is responding they will still talk and talk, but on the side note they’re very entertaining ♥️
Libra moons being big softies (ARIES TOO FOR THE PEOPLE THEY CARE ABOUT) and not taking their own advice.
Gemini placements love the occult.
Gemini moon and/or gemini mars give me paranormal and ghost hunting vibes.
Leo venues and the toxic urge to crush on a bunch of random people for random reasons.
Fire placements are great manifestors.
Gemini placements are so HAWT god, like honestly why don’t more people talk about it.
Capicorns moons are so loyal in relationships.
Aries moon with a leo venus and sag mars, is such a affectionate reactive loud lover, they’re so cute until they aren’t 😭
Honestly anything with a leo venus and sag mars, gives so such cute and hyper vibes!
Leo placements when you get something they want -> 😾
Gemini & Aquarius moons and their weird but curious fascinations with dr00gs sometimes.
Scorpio rising with libra placements have the tendencies to go back to their exs 😭 IM SORRRYY
Scorpio placements do be just out here drawing.
Aries rising and having a strong sense of justice, when something isn’t right they have to voice that.
Gemini moons can come off as fake off first impressions but they’re really not, they may just trying to figure what energy your on so they can match that, or you just caught em at a bad time.
Scorpio risings all have the same look or presence 👁👁🕴🏾
When people say Leo mercuries are dramatic when they talk, they’re not lying, Im a leo mercury and when people said that I thought that was totally bullshit, UNTIL I saw a fucking video of myself talking from another person’s perspective.
I’ve seen so many Capricorns and pisces pairings.
Libra placements don’t like looking or acting messy especially in front of other people.
Virgo moons scare me so bad like I want to understand how you think bc i just can’t fathom. I know you have secrets, but I just can’t tell exactly what they are 🙁
Scorpio moons idea of humor is being meanly sarcastic to others, or just saying funny insults.
When I think of sag placements I think of comfort/comfortability, whether that’s the way they like to dress, or what they like in a person, or how people feel when they’re around them.
Aries north node = saying random monologue or outbursts and no one responding or doing anything because it’s normal.
Libra moons have hella friends, or just get along with a lot of people.
Scorpio placements = tsundare
Leos love boys, specifically leo mars.

He’s cute. She smiles as he flinches. He’s a fun little thing. She hopes he continues to be fun. Shea hears him following behind, and makes sure to lead him to a much more private area. She doesn’t need anybody staring. As Shea turns to Phil, she’s surprised by his forwardness, once again, as he presses her up against the wall. Maybe she shouldn’t underestimate him. Shea continues to smirk at him, daring him. There’s a part of her that wants to flip this position; that wants him pressed up against the wall, but she’ll let him have this. He kisses her deeper, harder. Her hands go up around his neck, pulling him closer, returning the kiss without hesitation. Maybe she should go out more when she’s not looking for clients or doing work for them. This is fun.
She brings one hand down slowly from his neck, to his chest, gripping his shirt to bring him closer, kissing him harder, enjoying the feeling of his lips on hers far more than she expected. “You certainly can,” she muses, pulling back slightly, placing a much lighter kiss to his lips, looking up at him with those faux doe eyes. “I guess I could’ve gotten stuck under mistletoe with someone much worse.” Shea’s eyes trail over him as she hums appraisingly. “Hopefully you aren’t too disappointed,” she adds with another smirk, kissing him again, arching her back off the wall to press her chest against his as her hands grip his shoulders. She wonders how secluded this room actually is, but that thought is fleeting. It’s starting to matter to her less and less if someone were to walk in because she’s having too much fun with this—with him.
He flinched; he couldn't help it. But, come on, when a gorgeous woman like that raises her hand that fast, with a look in her eye that you can't read? Sometimes you have to assume. When she took a step away, Phil felt himself deflate, happy he had taken the opportunity to kiss her because truly when would that present itself ever again but then she smirked and gave him one last look over her shoulder and he was following behind her like a puppy. No thoughts, only one purpose in life right now and that was following Shea wherever she led him. Once they had made it away from the crowd, the music somewhat faded as they moved further from the speakers, Phil felt his confidence return twofold, even if some of it was a bit misplaced. Pushing her back against the wall, Phil stepped in closer, hovering over her so most of her body was blocked from view, a hand coming to cup the side of her face. "You're right, I can." His voice was low and gravelly, not hesitating to kiss her again, much deeper this time, not worried if she'd slap him for it this time or not. It'd be worth it.

The Queen's Lilies
🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕
Tyrell reader loves her children, her little lilies.
🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕
Masterlist
The queen loved her children, her little lilies. Though her boys balked at the sweet nickname she gave them, no one denied the love she gave her children. Though it was hard for her to see into her older boys' faces due to the fact they looked so much like Maegor. She adored them all the same but to see his face was difficult. She wished they could know their cousins. Though Alyssa seemed to be afraid of her children interacting with the Tyrell woman's children. YN couldn’t blame her, since Maegor had already killed one of her children and YN’s children were a claimant to the throne.
YN hated that throne. That ugly iron chair. Maegor sat upon it often. Sometimes he would have his oldest son, Aegon ii, upon his knee so that the boy could learn how to rule. Maegor took it upon himself that he should educate his older sons how to act and fight. Yes he would allow them to be doted on by their mother but not so much that it would weaken them. He was insistent that his sons be strong. Well at least his older sons. As he had no interest in his youngest son Laenyx.
Maegor had taken on three more wives a few years ago, the black brides as they were called. Still intending on having women as his trophies and more children. Yet he never showed them the favor he showed to his tyrell wife. Though his favor was cruel and with strings always attached. He held tightly on his wives, his children, and his captive family. Alyssa and her children were captives, as well as Rhaena and her children. He declared his oldest son, Aegon ii, would inherit the throne ahead of them but he kept them around as leverage. It left a bad taste in YN’s mouth. She had once tried to plead to let Alyssa, her children as well as Rhaena and her daughters live away on Dragonstone. To let them be free from his constant gaze. That was met with harsh actions and a slap. YN learned to keep her mouth shut.
On a gloomy day as the one she was in; YN found herself hiding in a corner of the castle, away from the gaze of her husband and the court. She couldn’t handle the weary looks of his black brides. She wanted to go to the garden, but couldn’t bring herself to pretend to love that place since her lilies were taken away. The thought and weight of her situation brought tears to her eyes. She brought her index finger to her mouth and bit down on it trying not to cry aloud.
“My lady?” A gentle voice brought her out of her thoughts. YN turned around to see it was Alyssa Velaryon. The queen mother.
“My… my queen.” YN whispered and wiped her tears away.
“You looked rather lonely sitting here all alone.” The older woman said, bringing forth a hand to the younger woman’s shoulder. “Are you alright?”
“I’m just thinking too much… though my situation is nothing compared to his new wives…” YN whispered and looked down at her hands.
The forty five year old queen smiled sadly at the woman and lead her away. “Come with me, we’ll spend the moment in the gardens. Fresh air will do you good.”
The two started walking, Alyssa looking upon the younger woman with pity. She started to ask her questions. Trying to gauge her character. The two had never had more than a few sentences between them before now. She didn’t seem to be haughty about her situation as Maegor’s only wife to have given him children. YN seemed shy and pitiful, never saying more than a few words to anyone. She avoided his other wives, not out of snarkiness or spite, but more of uncertainty and fear.
“You were a child when he took you as bride? A girl of sixteen?” Alyssa asked.
YN looked down at her hands. “Fifteen, my lady.” She whispered.
The idea of Maegor taking a child as his fertile bride left a bad taste in Alyssa’s mouth. She knew she was young when she was married off against her will. But this was no ambitious woman as his second wife was, this was a woman who was still a frightened child. Nine children she had with the cruel man. Triplets were her first pregnancy that took a toll on the girl, Alyssa could tell.
“What do you feel when you think of your children?” Alyssa asked out of the blue. That made YN stop and look uncertainly in her eyes.
“I would die for them.” YN said with quiet determination.
“But will you live for them? Will you allow yourself to be healthy? Would you lead them intentionally away from the path of their father? You only have to die once, child. You have to live every day.” Alyssa advised.
That left YN with no words in her throat. She never thought of that. Her mother had always said it was a mother’s duty to die for their children. Now she was expected to live and guide her children. All of them, not just her youngest. Alyssa could tell that her words left some impact on the twenty four year old woman. She knew with her quiet thoughts and shy nature, Alyssa could tell her something she could tell no one.
“I must tell you something child.”
“What is it?”
After a beat Alyssa grabbed the younger woman’s hands and stared deeply in her eyes. “I am leaving the keep soon. I am leaving with some of my children. Though I cannot take all of them I can taken my youngest. I need you to watch after my daughter Rhaena. Will you do this for me?”
YN stared right back into the woman’s eyes and didn’t know what to say. Leave? Would Maegor allow it? But this woman was looking to her for assurance, knowing YN was too quiet to bring this Maegor. But she also was trusting her with her dear oldest daughter.
Without saying anything, YN nodded. That made Alyssa smile and kiss her cold cheek. She then walked away from the younger woman. YN thought she should go to the garden. But something in her told her to go to her son’s room. She felt something was wrong and that she needed to see if her twin sons Rhaegar and Malor were alright. As she approached the room she heard raised voices. Her sons were yelling at someone, and the other voice made her blood run cold. Maegor was furious with her sons. From what little she could gather her children were mad at the father for taking on new brides when their mother had done what he wanted. Maegor was mad that his sons were acting weak and not keeping up with their training. YN crept into the room ready to sway the situation with her quiet words.
But then she saw Maegor raise his hand against her boy, Malor. That made all logic and rational thought leave her body. She grabbed the nearest hard object and brought it down against Maegor’s back neck. She bared her teeth at the man who turned furiously toward her.
“No!” She yelled and raised her object, which was a heavy candlestick holder, and glared at the man.
“No? You dare say no?” He asked angrily.
“You can abuse me. Yell at me. Hurt me in every way you can… But you will Not hurt my children!” YN yelled. That seemed to stop Maegor, He smirked a terrible grin and seemed… aroused at her anger. His quiet wife could raise her voice it seems.
He grabbed her wrist and gently took the object from her hand. He was scarier when he was gentle. He then leaned down to her, eyes boring into hers.
“Very well my dear. I will not raise my hands to our children again.” He then brought his lips to her ear. “I expect to have you in my bed tonight.”
Before she could respond he left the room. YN let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. She turned to her shocked boys and opened her arms to them. They ran into her embrace and tried to comfort their mother.
“You must be smarter than this, my lilies.” YN scolded. She pulled away and looked at them. “Your father cares not for human life. You are property in his eyes and he will hurt you if you are not careful.”
“We were defending you, mother.” Rhaegar said.
“I do not need you to defend me. I am your mother. It is my job to protect and defend you.” YN said and rubbed their cheeks with her thumbs. “I love you, my lilies. Always remember that.”
She then kissed their foreheads, calling them her lilies once again. The boys squirmed and tried pushing her off the,. Complaining that they were dragons not babies.

Vedic Astrology Observations
Moon Dominant Men: “Deep and Mysterious”
🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔
(GIF context: Taken from Shadowhunters depicting a gay couple with Matt Daddario (left) who is Moon Dominant [Hasta sun and ketu with ketu as moon nakshatra ruler] and Harry Shum Jr. (right) who is Rahu Dominant [Ardra moon and Swati Jupiter with Sun in Jupiter ruled nakshatra]. Both actors identify as straight.)
In Vedic astrology, the Moon, or “Chandra”, occupies a position of profound significance. It is coveted as the very embodiment of the mind, a symbol resonant with clarity, reflection, instincts, and cycles, which when combined come to form what we know as perceptual consciousness. Like the Moon, which shines by reflecting the Sun's light, the mind similarly reflects its environment. It captures and reinterprets external stimuli, forming a consciousness that is, in essence, an image similar to that of a mirror of the surrounding world. In Vedic astrology, the Moon is a celestial body that stands as the fundamental indicator of one’s capacity for emotion and extends to one’s ability of cogitation, shaping the manner in which thoughts and emotions are processed and articulated. In contrast to Western philosophical perspectives, which tend to dichotomize emotions and logic, framing them as diametric to one another, Vedic astrology presents the Moon as a mediator that brings the two faculties together through upholding the position that our cognitive and decision-making processes are inextricably linked with emotional undercurrents. It echoes a sentiment that, even in endeavors that ostensibly try to prioritize objectivity, such as with epistemological pursuits, true objective knowledge is nothing but an elusive ideal. This stems from the notion that our perception forms our reality, encapsulated in the phrase, “I am my universe.” This is where the significance of the Moon in Vedic astrology becomes particularly relevant. It posits the idea that our subconscious greatly influences our conscious mind, thereby molding our individual perceptions of reality and shaping the way we experience the world. It recognizes the limitations in our control over our mental faculties and how emotions actively play a part in deciding our thoughts and life trajectories, whether we like it or not. This allows the symbolism of the Moon in Vedic astrology to effectively capture the human condition's amalgamation of thought and feeling, thereby speaking to the interaction of light and shadow in the psyche and the ongoing process of mental transformation.
Men with a pronounced lunar influence in their astrological charts, notably distinguished by those with primary placements (Sun, Moon, or Ascendant) in or aspects with Moon-ruled nakshatras such as Rohini, Hasta, and Shravana (planetary dominance can be determined in more subtle ways as well), present an intriguing study into the nuanced expressions of masculinity and relational dynamics. Examples of Public figures like Henry Cavill, with his Shravana Ascendant and Moon in the first house, or fictional characters like Flynn Ryder, voiced by an actor with a Hasta Sun and Rohini Moon, exemplify a unique blend of characteristics associated with lunar dominance that I will continue to explore further.
(GIF and image contexts: The first GIF shown depicts Henry Cavill as Clark Kent in Man of Steel. The second is an image showing the fictional character Flynn Ryder side by side with his voice actor Zachary Levi.)
The influence of the Moon on men can be understood through the influence of the mother and the lens of "Yin and Yang" in Eastern philosophy. In Vedic astrology, the Moon's connection with the mother can be said to link the development and characteristics of individuals to the amount of nurture and emotional sustenance they were provided with as a child. This nurturing shapes the robusticity of their intrinsic Yin qualities – receptivity, passivity, intuition, and a deep connection with the maternal aspects of life, often linked to the feminine. These qualities are further symbolized by the Moon and its cycles, traditionally associated with menstruation, highlighting the cyclical and nurturing features of femininity. In contrast, Yang represents the dynamic, assertive, and outward energy projection, typically linked to the masculine and more solar sattvic energies. Men with Moon-dominance in their astrological profiles embody this Yin energy, exemplifying a reflective masculinity and an inward understanding of femininity. This inward orientation of Yin, shaped significantly by the emotional and nurturing bond with mother figures, provides these men with a deeper understanding and connection to various feminine aspects of life. At the same time, the outward orientation of Yang allows for an external connection to the masculine, producing a self-identified masculinity that is introspective and emotionally/mentally attuned to the feminine while still being confident in its own nature. This ultimately does have a dampening effect on their exhibition of traditionally masculine behaviors, being that men as a whole are ruled by the Sun and are said to be more solar, while women as a whole are ruled by the Moon and are said to be more lunar. (The 24-hour circadian rhythm is based on the male hormone cycle and aligns with the Earth's orbit relative to the sun, while women have what is known as an infradian rhythm, which follows the 28-day lunar cycle, for reference). This internal emphasis on Yin but external reflection of Yang in Moon-dominant men's personalities makes them emotionally rich and empathetic, displaying a unique blend of masculine and feminine energies that is both introspective and in harmony with the external world. The Moon serves to harmonize the intense energy of the Sun, offering calming and nurturing attributes, ultimately leading to the formation of a kind of masculinity in these men that is fluid and can express strength in gentleness and assertiveness in sensitivity. However, this can also make them uniquely susceptible to certain challenges, which I will continue to discuss further in the following paragraphs.
The Moon is also tied with its nodes: Rahu and Ketu, the two mathematical points where the Moon's orbit meets the ecliptic (if you didn’t know, the Moon does not directly follow the ecliptic itself, which is the sun's path in the sky; it’s about 5° off approaching either node). The Moon's astrological significance is intricately linked to Rahu and Ketu, with all three governing distinct facets of consciousness. Rahu, often depicted as the head of a dragon or the head without a body, symbolizes material desires and is associated with the future, representing the qualities we need to develop and the experiences we must have to grow. Rahu is primarily concerned with the rational mind and the projection of consciousness into the material realm, epitomizing ambition, desire, and worldly aspirations. It represents the part of the psyche that is outwardly focused, engaging with the tangible aspects of life that are said to paradoxically represent the illusion of Maya. Conversely, Ketu, commonly depicted as the dragon’s tail or a headless body, represents detachment, spirituality, and the internal journey. It is associated with the past and karmic baggage, indicating the lessons we have learned and the experiences we must release to evolve through Samsara to achieve Moksha. Ketu is about letting go and achieving spiritual enlightenment. It is associated with intense spirituality, introspection, and the aspects of the psyche that delve into the depths of the subconscious and the ineffable. Ketu represents the part of the mind that seeks to understand and connect with the intangible, the mystical, and the existential. (In Vedic mythology, Rahu and Ketu are said to be the same demon killed by Vishnu)
The Moon acts as a mediating conduit between these two nodes, attempting to balance the rational, materialistic impulses of Rahu with the spiritual, introspective tendencies of Ketu. It symbolizes the emotional and perceptual aspects of consciousness, playing a supreme role in how feelings and intuition are integrated with rational thought and spiritual insight. The Moon's position in a chart thus reflects the ongoing dance between the material and spiritual dimensions of human existence, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them. And because the moon works with the energy of both nodes, we can gain knowledge into the expression of Moon-dominant individuals by looking at aspects of Rahu-dominant and Ketu-dominant natives.
Rahu-dominant men often exhibit a desire for control, particularly in their mental environments. Their creativity often manifests in unique, sometimes eccentric ways, setting them apart in their expression and thought processes. These individuals typically lean towards liberal ideologies, embracing progressive and forward-thinking concepts but is often against society as a whole. Rahu-dominant men are often driven by ambition and a desire to achieve success and recognition. They are inclined to be more outwardly assertive in their quest for control, sometimes pursuing their goals with a relentless, almost aggressive, determination. This pursuit often leads them to challenge established norms and push boundaries, both socially and professionally. And while Moon-dominant men share traits with Rahu-dominant men, they exhibit distinct differences in how these characteristics are expressed and integrated into their personalities. Moon-dominant men tend to internalize their need for control, focusing more on emotional and psychological self-mastery. They are more concerned with understanding and regulating emotions rather than exerting control over external circumstances for the sake of gaining power, and they are more satiated with what they have rather than desiring what they don't, making them less materially-orirented than Rahu. Rahu men often have an obsession with external appearances and how others perceive them, trying to enforce their own rules or standards on others in order to gain the upper hand, but Moon men just want to maintain their own sense of security. They may still try to subtly reshape situations though, not to become the dominant power, but as a means to maintain their personal well-being, even at times to the detriment to others. Additionally, their approach to creativity is more reflective and introspective than what you might expect to see from Rahu, often drawing from deep emotional reservoirs and personal memories. Moon-dominant men may too challenge conventional thinking like Rahu dominant men, but their methods are typically more subtle and under the radar. For example, if a Moon-dominant man wants to avoid an arranged marriage, he might subtly express concerns or sadness about the marriage in a manner that is meant to gently persuade his family to rethink their decision. Simultaneously, he might engage in covert actions to disrupt the arrangement, such as discreetly creating scheduling conflicts and other minor obstacles that prevent it from happening efficiently as if to send unconscious signals that it was not "meant to be." In more extreme instances, he may feign agreement, choosing instead to engage in extramarital affairs, all while maintaining a cloak of compliance to avoid direct confrontation. This is in stark contrast to a Rahu man who will openly question and criticize the tradition, speaking out against his family to say it is stupid, and he may even actively rebel against it by running away to marry someone else.
(Add-on: both Rahu and Moon men possess an acute awareness of the perils of straying too far from rationality and thus are inclined to maintain a strong connection with external reality. They may encounter challenges when they engage too much with the immaterial, like dreaming, drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc., leading to their connection with external reality becoming tenuous. This disconnection can lead to issues such as escapism, addiction, and emotional disturbances, so be wary and try not to get to the point of obsession where you lose sight of your life.)
Conversely, Ketu-dominant men often possess a deep internal focus and an inclination towards introspection. Ketu-dominant men are often characterized by their profound spiritual orientation and a tendency towards seeking inner peace and enlightenment. They may exhibit a strong interest in the metaphysical or the mystical, delving into areas that transcend the material world. This spiritual pursuit often leads them to detach from worldly ambitions and superficial desires, making them appear aloof or disinterested in material success, paradoxically leading them to attract immense power. They tend to absorb energy from their surroundings, revealing truths in impactful ways and arousing servitude in others due to their stilled, void-like nature that makes people want to give to these men tirelessly. Ketu-dominant men might display a more pronounced detachment from their emotions. While they are capable of deep feeling, they often approach their emotions from a place of observation and analysis, rather than immersion. This detachment can sometimes be misinterpreted as coldness or indifference, but it is more accurately a sign of their deep internal processing and preference for solitude. Moon-dominant men, while sharing certain introspective and internal qualities with Ketu-dominant individuals, exhibit these traits in distinctly different ways, shaped by the unique lunar influence. while Moon-dominant individuals also exhibit introspection and depth, their focus is more on the emotional and psychological features. They are keenly attuned to the nuances of their own emotions as well as those of others, and this emotional sensitivity often translates into a strong sense of empathy and an intuitive understanding of human nature. Unlike the Ketu-dominant detachment, Moon-dominant men are more engaged with their immediate environment, forming deep emotional connections and valuing interpersonal relationships more than Ketu men (note that this also depends on the placement of moon in the chart as a whole, like 12 house Moon in Jyeshtha will be more Ketu-like for example). Moreover, Moon-dominant individuals may exhibit a fluctuating nature, akin to the waxing and waning phases of the Moon. They can be adaptable and receptive, often reflecting the energies around them, which can lead to a rich, albeit sometimes confusing, emotional life. This contrasts with the more consistent, inward-focused nature of Ketu-dominant men, who may remain unfazed by external circumstances, steadfast in their introspective approach for better or worse. People are drawn to both Moon and Ketu dominant men due to their compelling allure of hiddenness, but unlike the Ketu man that will remain still and almost hollow, absorbing all of the energy and power they come in contact with through their tamasic nature, Moon men will reflect energy back. This reflection of energy, softer and more reciprocal, differentiates Moon-dominant men from their Ketu-dominant counterparts, in the way that it doesn’t illicit as much discomfort in others. What usually happens with Ketu men is that others sense their inherent “emptiness,” which causes them dis-ease to the point where they will shower these men with energy in hopes that doing so will change the Ketu man or stabilize him. But Ketu men don’t work like that; their purpose is to take and consume, so no matter how much energy people give them, it is never going to be enough to make that penetrating uneasiness they give off go away. This isn’t a bad thing though. In fact, it is beneficial to the energies whose purpose it is to give, like Jupiter. It just comes down to the role people are meant to serve in this life. The differences between Moon and Ketu men highlight the unique ways in which they connect with and respond to the world around them as it relates to their Dharma.
Connecting Rahu and Ketu, because of the Moon’s relationship with both of these astrological energies, Moon-dominant natives will not only resonate with the powerful spiritual and subconscious layers of Ketu, but also to the more tangible, worldly, and reasoned aspirations represented by Rahu. This connection with Rahu and Ketu instills Moon-dominant men with a magnetic charm, characteristic of Ketu men, that is less domineering and still grounded in the more rational world of Rahu, making their allure more accessible and relatable to others. Unlike the piercing, sometimes overwhelming and obsessive depth of Ketu and the overbearing frigidity and judgments associated with Rahu, the Moon's influence results in more of a balanced persuasive appeal, empowering them with an immensely vitalizing aura. Overall, while there is a resemblance between the effects of Rahu/Ketu and the Moon, the way they manifest and are perceived is distinct. I think it bears mentioning that since the Moon deals with the energies of both, its natives are also susceptible to accompanying pitfalls for either. Because despite their inter-relation, the Moon’s integration of these energies can be messy. Rahu and Ketu are the extremes, which can end up eclipsing the Moon and/or the Sun, “swallowing” their energies (light) to try and destroy them. This solidifies the nodes’ place as natural adversaries of the luminaries.
(Add-on: There’s a balance that must be struck when dealing with these energies, and sometimes they can just be too difficult to manage, leading to things like insanity. While the Moon, Rahu, and Ketu are similar, it is important to remember the differences, with the main takeaway being to exercise awareness and moderation, as these energies can be seriously harmful when experienced in excess. Intriguingly, individuals under the influence of the Moon, Rahu, or Ketu bodies often show the most fascination with understanding psychology, perhaps drawn to explore the very forces that make them uniquely susceptible to emotional and mental turbulence. And oh… isn’t that poetic?)
Alright, now let’s get into the juice of things. As alluded to before, men whose astrological charts are heavily influenced by the moon have the ability to understand emotions and empathize deeply with the feelings of those around them, allowing them to form powerful connections within their relationships. Their insight into the human mind and “heart,” much like the Moon's light that gently illuminates the night, shines on the more hidden aspects of those they interact with. They are known for their exceptional depth of emotional acuity as well as having an intuitive grasp of mental states, including their own. This is typically not overt, however, since there is a concealed nature to the Moon, being traditionally associated with obscurity and subtle aspects of the human psyche. In addition to this, since men perceived as being outwardly feminine have historically been subjects of abuse and harsh treatment from society, Moon-dominant men are more inclined to sheath the less hardened parts of themselves for fear of social scorn. This is important to keep in mind, since Shravana is the most refined and mature expression of the Moon.
Symbolized by an ear, this nakshatra signifies listening, learning, and connection. It is associated with the acquisition of knowledge and the understanding of the world. Men influenced by Shravana may possess a strong inclination towards gathering information, being attentive listeners, and showing a deep interest in the narratives and experiences of others. This attentive and perceptive nature is a personification of the Moon's influence, producing qualities like empathy and understanding, which can be seen as more feminine in nature. Being in Capricorn (the natural ruler of house ten: career and reputation), it is also deeply entwined with themes of reputation and public perception in addition to control. This comes into focus when we consider how Vishnu, the Deity ruling over Shravana for men, is the preserver, suggesting a proclivity of these men to maintain their public reputations and personas through discipline (Saturn deals with control and discipline and is the ruler of Capricorn, for reference). Interestingly, I’ve noticed that Rohini and Hasta men tend to be more openly receptive than Shravana. Hasta is a nakshatra that is linked with dexterity and skill, symbolized by a hand, and more specifically with the ability to manifest one’s desires into the hand. The influence of its ruling deity Savitar, an incarnation of the Sun (contradictory, I know), gives Hasta characteristics of vigor, intelligence, and the ability to dispel ignorance. However, this solar influence is juxtaposed with the Moon's governance over Hasta, which brings in a more calculative desire for energy exchange through things like conversations, meetings, sex, negotiations, fighting, etc., which is not carried out in quite the same way as Sun-dominant men, being that the Moon introduces a more emotionally intelligent approach to these interactions. While the Sun's influence might drive a person towards externally focused actions where they expend energy carelessly, the Moon's guidance in Hasta gives a deeper sensitivity and awareness in their engagements. This means that their approach to energy exchanges, whether in professional settings, personal relationships, or even in conflict, tends to be more reflective and considerate of the emotional context. Men influenced by Hasta may exhibit a strong, vibrant persona, often marked by a commanding yet undeniably soft presence (I’ll reference him again, but the best example of this I could find is Leonardo DiCaprio who is Hasta Moon and Ascendant). Rohini, the first nakshatra under the dominion of the Moon and co-ruled by Venus in Taurus, is emblematic of the chariot, an ancient symbol related with themes of progress, movement, and evolution. This nakshatra's associations with growth, creation, and fertility find their roots in the nurturing energies of the Moon, where it is in exaltation, and the artistic, sensual qualities of Venus. The deity overseeing Rohini, Brahma, is revered as the creator in the Hindu pantheon, further intensifying the nakshatra's intrinsic connection to creativity, nurture, the enjoyment of creation, and the genesis of life. Rohini men often exude natural charm, emphasized by a creative and nurturing disposition. These qualities, resonating with the creative and generative aspects of Brahma, can be seen as more feminine in nature. However, due to societal pressures to adhere to traditional masculine norms, Rohini men might feel compelled to mask these traits. The pressure to conform to traditional masculine norms might lead Rohini men to stifle or conceal these aspects of their personalities, as I've come to acknowledge can be a facet of all Moon men.
The Moon's dominance in a man's chart can influence his expression of gender and identity, modulated by whether he is accepting of his femininity, as observed in public figures like David Bowie (Shravana asc. and Rohini rahu), Prince (Rohini sun and mercury), Troye Sivan (Rohini sun and mercury), etc. These men, embracing their lunar qualities, often work to defy traditional gender norms, adopting androgynous styles that symbolize the fluidity of their gender identity. Their choices in fashion - long, flowing hairstyles, delicate fabrics, and makeup or nail polish - are external manifestations of their inner lunar essence. Some even go as far as dressing up like women! It is not done in a castigating manner where they make fun of the idea as a form of humiliation either; rather, it is more of an attempt to make a full embrace of what it would be like to genuinely exist as a woman, albeit a tad bit over-exaggerated in terms of femininity, but to be fair, that’s the same for Moon-dominant women as well. (This is a bit of a tangent, so skip if you aren't interested. Interestingly I think these men’s personas of women are closer to Ashlesha [in cancer rashi ruled by moon but nakshatra ruler Mercury] than of Moon nakshatra women, possibly being a result of these men having so much pent up female sexuality that yearns to be dominated in much the same way as Ashlesha women, who act outwardly dominant to test the virality of others – beckoning to be overpowered. I noticed this in the new movie Expendables, which stars Jason Statham and Megan Fox (Ashlesha moon). In one scene, they are fighting and Megan Fox comes out on top before again being overpowered, demonstrating that the man is virile enough to "have"/contain/satisfy her. And then she redirects his penetrative energy yet again, which is a common theme of Ashlesha. The "cutesy" fake innocence at the beginning is also something Ashlesha women are known for.)
(GIF context: It shows Troye Sivan dressed in drag for his latest music video and song "One of Your Girls". He is also openly gay and for the time being has not declared he is trans, nonbinary, etc. For fun, you can compare that with this music video with Megan Fox, who is an Ashlesha woman to see what I mean when I compare them: video.)
However, most Moon-dominant men are not as comfortable expressing this duality so openly. Many, in response to societal pressures that valorize hyper-masculine traits and often stigmatize femininity in men, adopt a façade of heightened contentment, stoicism, and control. This outward show, mirroring the characteristics of Sun and Saturn-dominant men, is an attempt to conceal their innate Yin nature. Yet, akin to the Moon which only reflects the Sun's light in a softer, cooler manner, their portrayal of hyper-masculine traits is not pure or without cracks. People can still very much pick up on their the fact that they are simply reflecting masculinity while still internally housing receptive feminine energies, since they reveal themselves in small but noticeable ways that make them stand out from other men. They usually carry with them an undercurrent of mystery, farce, and a general tendency to be overly, and dare I say even comically, brutish, while their emotionally expressive nature still peeks through. This divergence from the archetype they emulate within imparts an illusory, intriguing energy to their persona, attracting some while aggravating others who are less willing to accept the illusion. The struggle to mask their true nature often leads to complex interpretations of these men. It reflects the multifaceted nature of the Moon, continuously oscillating between visibility and concealment, constantly changing from clarity to mystery. This theater play of lunar influence in their lives makes these men seem as though they are impossible to understand fully, impressing, confusing, perplexing, and captivating all who come across them.
Celebrities like Theo James (Hasta moon and Shravana venus), Christian Bale (Shravana sun), Noah Centineo (Shravana moon and ketu), Joe Jonas (Shravana moon and Hasta asc.), etc. find their sexuality and morality subject to speculation and even denial by the general public. This scrutiny mimics the way women are often doubted and judged, suggesting a societal judgement of the feminine nature. The public's perception and scrutiny of the sexuality and morality of these men often reaches a point where rumors and allegations, ranging from them secretly being gay or abusive, become rampant. This perceived incongruence between their public persona and private self can trigger a sense of being "lied to" in observers, leading to a backlash or a desire to uncover the 'truth' about these men. The Moon's influence, thus, extends beyond the individual to affect public perceptions and reactions in this way. This phenomenon also offers insight into why Moon-dominant male celebrities (in addition to Rahu and Ketu-dominant men, I’ve noticed) often find themselves cast in roles as gay characters, even while being openly straight, such as in the case of Jake Gyllenhaal (Rohini moon, Hasta jupiter and saturn, and Shravana ketu [his second dominant]) in "Brokeback Mountain,” Harry Styles (Hasta moon & Shravana sun and venus) in “My Policeman,” Ewan Mcgregor (Hasta asc. and cancer rashi ketu in Ashlesha) in “The Pillow Book,” Nick Robinson (Hasta sun) in “Love, Simon,” the examples I gave in the caption at the very beginning for Shadowhunter, etc.
(GIF contexts: The first GIF shows Theo James in the TV series "Sanditon" as Sidney Parker giving a cheekish smile. The second shows Harry Styles in "My Policeman" getting his neck kissed by his male lover while he smiles with enjoyment.)
The Moon's association with fluidity, hidden depths, and possessing understanding of emotions and identity makes these actors particularly adept at portraying complex, non-traditional roles (they are great at portraying emotions at all levels of intensity in general, with a prime example being Leonardo DiCaprio [Hasta moon and Asc. moon in 1st house]), who is known to be a phenomenal actor, almost shapeshifting into whatever a movie expects of him and displaying deep, powerful emotions). However, that being the case, Ketu and Rahu might still be more prominent when it comes to this trope of casting straight men to play gay roles, possibly due to homosexuality often being seen merely as the act of having sex with other men, rather than an intimately personal aspect of identity that has an impact on all areas of an individual’s life. This has the effect of reducing gay characters to straight men more willing to engage with ideas seen as non-conventional or morally perverse (more commonly associated with Rahu and Ketu), while still maintaining their straight charm that appeals to mainstream audiences. It is easier to depict gay men as "devouring" or Ketu-like, as seen in associations with Mula Nakshatra, which is related to the act of excretion from the anus, but this narrow depiction overlooks the complexity of sexual orientation, reducing it to pure physicality of external behavior. It fails to acknowledge that being gay encompasses a broad array of emotions, experiences, and identities far beyond superficial characteristics. Moon-dominant mens’ ability to resonate with and express a wide spectrum of human experiences, including those that challenge conventional norms, is enhanced by their lunar characteristics, but these themes might also be more prone to attracting false representation due to widespread misunderstandings. I’d also like to make it known that I am aware that there are many gay and bi Moon, Rahu, and Ketu-dominant men as well; they just aren’t nearly as common and hardly, if ever, get casted in the kind of deeper gay roles I'm referring to.
Continuing this exploration, it's evident that the very qualities that lend Moon-dominant men their depth, intrigue, and warmth can also lead to significant challenges. The Moon's inherent receptivity endows these individuals with a remarkable adaptability, which, while often a strength, can manifest in less positive avenues. Their exceptional ability to influence perceptions and beliefs, a direct result of their emotional responsiveness and innate understanding of the mind's energies, can become problematic. In certain circumstances, this lunar influence may veer into darker territories with one major potential downside in particular being emotional manipulation, where their intuitive grasp of human emotions can be misused for personal gain or to sway others unduly. Their innate power over emotion and human psychology can lead them to engage in behaviors such as lying, espionage, cheating/betrayal, infidelity, illegal clandestine activities, and exploitation. The Moon's association with hidden aspects and the subconscious mind makes its natives highly skilled at navigating these activities, sometimes even leading them into antisocial or unethical paths, which can be seen in many different media portrayals I’ll cover later on. But for now, I will point to the personal life example of Ryan Philippe (Shravana asc. & Hasta mercury), who is notorious for his multiple instances of cheating on his wife and other subsequent partners, in addition to a history of drug misuse and allegations of domestic violence. An important thing to note when I speak about these things, however, is that while they can be masters of manipulation, Moon-nakshatra men do not possess complete control over the mind to the point where they always get people to do anything they want. Similar to the Moon relying on the Sun's light, their "power" actually depends on people willing to project onto and exchange energy with them, which can make Moon-dominant men extremely vulnerable, even more so than Moon women (people will instinctually try to defend moon women because they perceive them as being pure and innocent, unable to protect themselves; the same sentiment is not afforded to Moon men, who people think should be able to defend themselves with their physical power). In fact, Moon-dominant men often struggle to set boundaries due to a fear of direct confrontation as well as a desire to be what other people want of them, often worshipping the people they are closest to (they really want respect and attention from others and will endure harsh treatment or act untoward if it means getting that from someone they respect themselves, sometimes to an unhealthy extreme). That brings me to my next point of abuse... Whether inflicted or incurred, abuse (especially relating to domesticity and women) is another shadowy aspect of the Moon's influence in Vedic astrology, aligning with many of the experiences of Moon-dominant men in media and in real life. The frequent association of moon-dominant men with themes of abuse in media – be it as perpetrators, victims, or both – intertwines notions of vulnerability and aggression, showing the darker side that emotions can take, and subsequently, the darker side humanity can take as well. Overall, it makes sense why people often connect Moon men to ideas of abuse in media and in real life, such as with Evan Peters (Hasta moon and Shravana mercury) in “American Horror Story—Coven” where he was sexually abused by his mother (among other things; that show put him through it...), Christian Bale (Shravana sun) in American Psycho being abusive towards women, Tom Hardy (Hasta moon and Rahu) in “Peaky Blinders” being extremely violent and hedonistic, etc.
(Add-on: This is a bit of sensitive topic related to sexualization, so discretion is advised. Just as women traditionally face sexual objectification, Moon-dominant men may also encounter similar treatment due to their inherent passivity and receptive nature, leading to sexualization and other forms of scrutiny that stem from societal tendencies to view individuals who are more passive and receptive as feminine as being more accessible to take advantage of. This sexualization, particularly prevalent in the portrayal of these men in scenes of nudity [I've yet to find a Moon-dominant male actor who has not done a nude scene, even though many speak about how they did not want to do it at the time and felt uncomfortable] or in the adult film industry (an industry known for its connections with abuse) where I've found Moon men to be most over-represented in terms of planetary dominance, showcases a societal inclination to exploit those exhibiting traits diverging from traditional assertiveness.)
(GIF contexts: The first GIF shows Evan Peters in American Horror Story Crying. The second GIF is of Tom Hardy in Peaky Blinders smoking.)
In the film industry, the energies of Moon-dominant men, characterized by their complex emotions, adaptability, and concealed depths, are astutely recognized by directors. This insight informs casting decisions, often placing Moon-dominant actors in roles that mirror the multifaceted nature inherent in them. Christian Bale's (Shravana sun) portrayal of Jim Luther in "Harsh Times" exemplifies this, exploring the darker recesses of the human psyche, a reflection of the Moon's association with concealed motives and intricate emotional situations. Similarly, Denzel Washington's (Shravana moon, Hasta asc.) performances in "American Gangster" and "Training Day" depict a tough exterior masking a softer core, Michele Morrone (Hasta sun & venus and Shravana rahu) in "365 Days" intertwines criminal elements with deep emotional entanglement, and Tom Hiddleston's (this one is super interesting because, while he doesn't have any primary moon placements, he does have Hasta jupiter & saturn— the moon nakshatra ruler and subruler of his chart plus Shravana Venus and ketu, so I consider him moon-dominant) Loki across Marvel films embodies cunning coupled with hidden vulnerability. Matt Daddario (see top of post) and Matt Bomer (Hasta moon, mercury, and rahu), in "Shadowhunters" and "White Collar" respectively, delve into the realms of a secret society of demon hunting & then crime/subterfuge with personal attachments to it, personifying the Moon's nature.
(GIF contexts: The first GIF shows Michele Morrone in 365 days shirtless and talking while looking down. The second GIF is taken from White Collar showing Matt Bomer talking frantically.)
Zachary Levi as Flynn Ryder personifies this duality - mischievous yet sensitive, conniving yet protective, masculine yet feminine, seeking introspective depth yet maintaining material asperations, and so on. Followed by Henry Cavill's roles, particularly Superman and Geralt, further illustrate this theme of his invincible, hyper-masculine superhero persona of Superman veiling the sensitive, complex nature of Clark Kent that he must keep hidden through great discipline (The original actor for Superman Kirk Alyn was also moon dominant (Hasta sun and mars with a lot of his chart's energy tracing back to sun). One the other hand, Christoper Reeve– arguably one of the most popular actors to play Superman– has his Sun and Mercury less than one degree away from being in Hasta, but overall, his chart is still Sun-dominated with a lot of Uttara Phalguni and Krikita, which makes sense because one: it was old hollywood, and two: the reason people love him is for his portrayal as the hyper-masculine persona of Superman, which would have been closer to Reeve's true nature anyway. In my opinion, his portrayal as Clark Kent is kind of bad because he treats that like it is supposed to be his geeky alter-ego rather than the fact that he would have been raised as Clark Kent– the humble farm boy from Kansas, not as Superman. Anyway, rant over). And Geralt, who presents a facade of absolute masculine strength defeating monsters for a living and projecting a sense of detachment from others, all while concealing a deeper, more nurturing and intimate side of himself. These portrayals, necessitating depth and often grappling with themes of manipulation and other complex moral dynamics, go hand-in-hand with the Moon's influence on hidden emotional strata and ethical complexities. The performances of these actors align with the experiences of many Moon-dominant men, reflecting the nature of their personalities.
