Have you ever been to a 21 Divisiones service before?
I have not! I was invited to one that eventually was canceled, but I'd definitely be interested in the future if an opportunity presented itself.

Manual Drawing of Divisional Charts: A Beginner's Guide 💅🤗
Scroll down if you want to read the content directly 😁👇
The rules of drawing divisional charts can be found in books of your choice and online resources, my goal is to make it available to everyone in simple terms. I'll try to explain as easily as possible. I'm going to focus on ONLY some of the important divisional charts, I sincerely hope that I don't make any technical mistakes lacking concentration in the middle of writing, if you do find any error please do let me know so that I could change it, basics should be available to everyone and the information shouldn't be wrong.🤗💛
The general rules will be the same everywhere, only the simpler techniques they use to find out planet position in divisional charts may vary from astrologer to astrologer but the end results are the same. I will be telling you the way I learnt. If you are someone, who is interested in learning these basics, you're in for a ride, I hope you'll take a notebook and enjoy drawing out on your own at the end of this post!❤
Everything till now is blah-blah, Real content starts here lol-
Let's go in ascending order of important divisional charts!🤩
D2 Chart Manual Making:
Male signs- Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius
Female signs- Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces
(Please make sure to remember the gender of the signs as it will be used in many varga chart making. It's just the alternative signs.)
If you have a planet in the MALE sign category, see the degrees, if it's between 0-15°---it will be placed in Leo house in D2 AND If it's between 15.1-30°---it will be placed in Cancer house in D2.💛💛
If you have a planet in the FEMALE sign category, see the degrees, if it's between 0-15°---it will be placed in Cancer house in D2 AND if it's between 15.1°-30°---it will be placed in Leo house in D2.💙💙
Let's see some examples - If you have a cancer venus at 26°, since it's a female sign and is in the second half of the degree division,Venus will be placed in Leo in D2. If you have an Aries Mars at 16°, since it's a male sign and is in the second half of the degree division, Mars will be placed in Cancer in D2. 😃😃
Follow the same rules and draw for all planets and ascendant to come up with a complete D2 chart. In D2, ALL planets+asc will be assigned ONLY in Cancer or Leo houses.🤗
D3 Chart Manual Making:
All planets+asc will be placed in trikona (1,5,9) houses from its position. If a planet is within 0-10° in your D1, then it will be in the same sign in D3 too. 💖
Planet degrees in D1 and it's position in D3 -
0-10°----In same sign as D1
10.1-20°----In 5H when counted from it's position
20.1°-30°----In 9H when counted from it's position
Let's see some examples - If your Gemini Venus is at 12°, it will be placed in Libra (5H from its position). If your Taurus Mars is at 24°, it will be placed in Capricorn (9H from its position).❤
The same way, draw the entire D3 chart including all planets+asc.🤗
D4 Chart Manual Making:
All planets+asc will be placed in Kendra houses (1,4,7,10) from its position.
Planet degrees in D1 and it's position in D4:
0-7.30°---In same sign as D1
7.31°-15°---In 4H when counted from it's position
15.1-22.30°---In 7H when counted from it's position
22.31-30°---In 10H when counted from it's position
Let's see some examples - Pisces sun at 21° will be placed in Virgo house (7H from Pisces) in D4. Sagittarius moon at 9° will be placed in Pisces house (4H from Sagittarius) in D4.💕
The same way, draw the entire D4 chart including all the planets+asc.🤗
Tumblr media
D6 Chart Manual Making:
If any planet is in the assigned MALE zodiac signs in the D1 chart, they get assigned between Aries to Virgo in the D6 chart. If any planet is in the FEMALE zodiac signs in the D1 chart, they get assigned between Libra to Pisces in the D6 chart.
In case of a planet in MALE sign-
0-5°---Assign In Aries house in D6
5.1-10°---In Taurus
10.1-15°---In Gemini
15.1-20°---In Cancer
20.1-25°---In Leo
25.1-30°---In Virgo
Let's see an example- If mars is in Leo at 6° in your D1 chart, you assign it in Taurus in D6. If Venus is in Aquarius at 22°, you assign it in Leo in D6. 💞
In case of a planet in FEMALE sign-
0-5°---Assign in Libra house in D6
5.1-10°---In Scorpio
10.1-15°---In Sagittarius
15.1-20°---In Capricorn
20.1-25°---In Aquarius
25.1-30°---In Pisces
Let's see an example - If Jupiter is in Taurus at 29°, you assign it to Pisces in D6. 💕
Likewise, draw for all the planets+asc. 🤗
D9 Chart Manual Making:
D9 and D10 drawings can be lil bit confusing, so I've prepared a table for D9 making in ms-word. The table is attached below 👇
Tumblr media
If you notice, the column 'nakshatra ruling planets' are given in the order of nakshatra rulers beginning from Ashwini in Aries. (ie.) Ashwini (Ruler Ketu), Bharani (Ruler Venus), Krittika (Ruler Sun). Till Ashlesha (Ruler mercury), it's one round and again starts with Ketu's Nakshatra-Magha, followed by the same order again. 😃
Let's see an example - Rahu in Bharani (Pada 1) will be placed in the Leo sign in D9 as bharani is Venus ruled and in pada 1. Venus in Jyeshta (Pada 2) will be placed in the Capricorn sign in D9 as jyeshta is mercury ruled & in pada 2. ❤❤
Make use of this shortcut table to draw your own D9 chart manually, including all planets+asc.🤗
D10 Chart Manual Making:
Each sign is divided into 10 parts, each sign has 30°, 30÷10=3. So the degrees are separated likewise and the position of the planet is allotted accordingly in D10.💜
Incase of a planet in MALE sign-
0-3°---In the same sign as D1
3.1-6°---In the next sign to it's D1 placement
And it goes on....
Let's see an example - Sun in leo at 4°, it will be placed in a virgo house in D10. Let's see the complete 30° positions for this example placement below---👇👇
Leo sun between 0-3°---In Leo house
3.1-6°---In Virgo
6.1-9°---In Libra
9.1-12°---In Scorpio
12.1-15°---In Sagittarius
15.1-18°---In Capricorn
18.1-21°---In Aquarius
21.1-24°---In Pisces
24.1-27°---In Aries
27.1-30°---In Taurus
This is how the same Leo sun placement in different degrees will be positioned in D10. Calculate accordingly for the planets situated in MALE signs in your D1 chart.💛
Now, In case of a planet in FEMALE sign-
This can be confusing, I'll give an example to make it easier. If you have a planet in a female sign, go to the 9H when counted from the planet placement and then apply the same degree rules as in male signs.
Let's see an example - Libra sun at 13° is the example placement. 9H when counted from Libra is the Cancer house. Since it's 13°, apply the degree theory now, 0-3 is in the same sign (which will be in cancer here), 3.1-6° is in Leo, 6.1-9° is in Virgo, 9.1-12° is in Libra, 12.1-15° is in Scorpio. So our Libra sun at 13° falls in the Scorpio house in D10.
By following the respective rules, allot the planets present in male and female signs accordingly in the D10 chart including asc.🤗
Okayyy, I'm done with explaining the simplified version of drawing some of the important divisional charts manually!! Hope u had a good read 😭❤ Note: Many websites can give wrong placements in divisional charts, so if you want to compare and make sure, be confident that you're using a good website to generate divisional charts.
Let's Learn and Grow Together!💋💅
With Love-Yashi ❤⚡

Worshipping Mother Mary
I am not Christian so I thought I'd write about my practice.
Tumblr media
[Art: 12th Century Mosaic The Annunciation, Church of San Marco Venice]
◾️Mariolatry◾️
I use this word over "Marian Devotion / Veneration" It literally means "Worship of Mary." I use this term to distinguish it from Christianity. Latin Maria + o + -latry. Maria referring to Mother Mary, 'o' is an interfix, and "-latry" meaning 'worship of.' -latry according to wiktionary comes from Late Latin latria, from Ancient Greek λατρεία (latreía, "service; worship"). In Catholicism, the largest denomination of Christianity, worship is known as latria. It comes from the exact same origin "-latry" does and giving Mary latria is a sin.
Latria is due only to God (The Trinity) and God alone. Dulia, which comes from Greek δουλεία douleia meaning slavery/service to a lord, is the honor paid towards Saints. Hyperdulia, which is just dulia with a hyper prefix attached meaning "over", describes the honor paid towards Mary. It is above the honor of saints but below worship.
"Wherefore dulia, which pays due service to a human lord, is a distinct virtue from latria, which pays due service to the Lordship of God. It is, moreover, a species of observance, because by observance we honor all those who excel in dignity, while dulia properly speaking is the reverence of servants for their master, dulia being the Greek for servitude". — St. Thomas Aquinas
I am a polytheist so I do not ascribe to the belief that she deserves lesser honor while The Trinity alone deserves worship (latria).
The above was an edited excerpt of this post LINK, that goes a bit more in depth about terminology.
I originally found Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows via Las 21 Divisiones (Dominican Vudú), not Christianity. Metresili is syncretized with Mater Dolorosa's and as I learned about the practice I felt "drawn" to her. However, I found myself wishing to honor the Christian Saint Mary not the Vudú Lwa Metresili, so thats what I did. I shelved my exploration of Vudú as it has requirements I'll never be able to meet.
◾️Mary as a "Hero"◾️
I do not worship Mary as a Goddess. I worship her in the same mindset as the worship of heros by the ancient Greeks.
"Heroes can be distinguished from the less powerful dead by their extraordinary achievements, importance to and worship by an entire community or multiple communities, their powers to help or harm, and their privileged afterlife." — Hero Cult in Apollonius Rhodius by Sarah Hitch in Gods and Religion in Hellenistic Poetry. LINK
"For the ancient Greeks there was no clear-cut definition of a hero; still, heroes were distinguished from gods and from the ordinary dead. How we perceive a hero and his cult is dependent on which kind of evidence we consider. A hero can be defined as a person who had lived and died, either in myth or in real life, this being the main distinction between a god and a hero. He was thus dead and may have had a tomb, which sometimes was the focus of a cult, though not all heroes received religious attention. The difference between a hero and an ordinary dead person lies in the relationship with the living, the ordinary dead having some kind of connection with those tending the grave and presenting offerings, while the heroes were worshiped on a more official level. Finally, the hero was generally a local phenomenon and most heroes were connected with one specific location." — from Heros and Hero Cults by Gunnel Ekroth LINK
Tumblr media
[Art: This Annunciation of 1892, by Arthur Hacker based on Gospel of James]
Mary has certainly taken on this distinction, not a Goddess but certainly not an average deceased person/ancestor. And in many cases her devotion takes on different forms in different locations and time. The rise of different titles, the various feast days of Mary, different locations of pilgrimage, spiritual Mother of certain groups, matron of certain activities, associated with holy relics, and associated with 'verified' miracles.
She is seen as a mortal woman who accomplished the amazing feat of bringing Jesus into the world and being his life long companion. People turn to her for divine intercession and miracles. In many Christian traditions she is certainly above all the "normal" deceased humans including even the saints.
◾️What She Means To Me◾️
Tumblr media
[Art: 'The Madonna of the Roses' and 'The Madonna of Pietà' by William-Adolphe Bouguereau]
Her response during The Annunciation & Her Seven Sorrows are paramount in her meaning to me.
Mary answered "yes" when her God asked her to take on the most important role for humanity, Luke 1:34. After her conversation with Gabriel, beyond basic questions about it being physically possible her response, to this incredible responsibility her God was tasking her with, was simply: "I am the Lord's servant,' Mary answered. 'May your word to me be fulfilled.' Then the angel left her." (NIV translation).
Mary is the embodiment of piety.
Before her son was even one years old a respectable devout man told her a horrible prophecy of her son's greatness that will lead to her soul being pierced (Luke 2:25-37).
Mary is acceptance of painful things to come.
She fled to Egypt in order to protect her son (Matthew 2). She cherished her son fulfilling the prophecy even after her anxiety of losing him. (Luke 2:51) She suggests he preform his first miracle (John 1:5) knowing he is much more than just the son she loves. She has to watch her son be tortured by carrying the cross and be executed on a cross, helpless to stop it but simultaneously knowing this was always the destination.
Mary is strength in the face of tragedy.
She cared for Jesus deeply knowing all along that she would have to undergo great emotional pain but that her God had placed this responsibility on her, and her alone.
Mary is the epitome of spiritual devotion.
Her son raises from the dead, but that is brief and he ascends into heaven... leaving her behind, her role during life was complete and her son was not coming back to her. If we take from non-canonical biblical sources she was a constant companion to her son in life and continues his work after his death and ascension.
Mary is the ability to accept grief.
◾️Historicity ◾️
Historicity is the historical actuality of persons and events, meaning the quality of being part of history instead of being a historical myth, legend, or fiction. The historicity of a claim about the past is its factual status. Historicity denotes historical actuality, authenticity, factuality and focuses on the true value of knowledge claims about the past. — Wikipedia LINK
She may have been a mortal woman, but her historicity doesn't concern me. Wheather or not she was a real woman—born of Anne and Joachim, in the tribe of Judah or Levi, with a relative named Elizabeth, and gave birth in a manger or house— in real factual history is irrelevant. In a similar vein the tales of Greek heros need not be historical factual truth to carry religious meaning and importance.
I do not believe in the historicity of Sacred Scripture thus her stories in the canonical New Testament, Quran, and Christian apocrypha I view in the same light as the literary Epics of heros describing their life, accomplishments, and character. I write more about the nature of Sacred Scripture here LINK.
◾️Mary's Titles I Worship◾️
I view the multitude of "Our Lady of ___" as all the same person but like many I give her honor under different names and roles.
🔹Our Lady of Sorrows, Mater Dolorosa. The Virgin Mary in her aspect of the suffering she endured as the person to bring Jesus (The Savior) into the world. This is the main focus of my worship. There are seven sorrows she faces. I switch between calling her Our Lady of Sorrows and Mater Dolorosa kind of at random.
Tumblr media
[Photo: Our Lady of Sorrows with 7 Swords, Church of the Holy Cross, Salamanca, Spain]
Additionally I may worship her under the titles:
🔹Our Lady of Altagracia, Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Protective and Spiritual Mother of the Dominican People. Feast Day January 21st.
Tumblr media
[Photo: from a mass to Our Lady of Altagracia, unknown location, found on blog link]
🔹Our Lady of Solitude as it is a title of Mary that relates to Our Lady of Sorrow— an 8th sorrow almost, it is Mary when she retreats into solitude after Jesus crucifixion but before Jesus' resurrection. Honored in many Spanish & Portuguese speaking countries. Feast Day is Holy Saturday.
Tumblr media
[Photo: Our Lady of Solitude at the Basilica of Our Lady and Saint Anthony of Mafra]
◾️Worshipping◾️
Mary's Worship is separate from my Sumerian-Hellenic polytheist tradition. Despite being founded on the viewpoint of Hellenic heros it feels better separate.
Things I find relevant when developing my practice:
🔹Literature: Passages in the canonical Gospels; passages in the non-canonical Gospels; Christian apocrypha of Mary's life; other Christian writings concerning Mary. The Quranic Mary is so different in story that I don't take it into account thus far.
🔹Edited prayers: I tend to edit prayers so that they focus more on Mary and her strength, rather than focusing on asking Mary to intercede on our behalf with God/The Trinity or bring us closer to her son Jesus.
🔹History of her honor: The history of feast days, the stories behind certain titles, the history of miracles, even heretical practices criticized by Christians if I feel it works
🔹Roman Catholic traditions primarily because they are easily accessible and I went to Irish Catholic school K-8, and experienced Latino style Catholicism in one of my childhood homes. This includes feast days dates.
🔹Occasionally other denominations traditions especially Eastern & Oriental Orthodox. This may include using alternative feast day dates.
Actual Practices:
🔹Prayers thats pretty straight forward.
🔹Seven Sorrows Rosary, I use the shortened prayer for each or may edit the longer ones one day. Found here LINK
Tumblr media
[My Rosary from World Visions International]
🔹Honoring the Sorrows Across The Year
Tumblr media
[Art: 16th Century Unknown Artists (as far as I can find)]
Sorrow 1: Prophecy of Simeon. Candlemas. February 2nd.
Sorrow 2: Flight into Egypt. February 17, Roman Catholic Missal.
Sorrow 3: Losing Child Jesus. 3 Days after Passover.
Sorrow 4-7: All dealing with the Crucifixion. Good Friday.
Our Lady of Sorrows Feast Day September 15.
🔹Other Feast Days I might consider celebrating if I'm up for it: The Annunciation (Feb 25), Marymas (Sep 8), Our Lady of Altagracia Feast Day (Jan 21), Our Lady of Solitude Feast Day (Holy Saturday).
🔹"Collyridian Offering", what I am calling the offering of sweet bread (Koulourakia or Koulouri would be best, but I have gluten sensitivity). Either at each special day or at least once a year on Mater Dolorosa's Feast Day of Sep 15. This comes directly from a (possibly) historical heretical practice I discussed here LINK.
🔹Marian Shrine. What it sounds like, a Shrine to Mary. I use my KJV Bible because it's gorgeous even though I know the Bible best via the NIV translation and usually only use NIV for writing. I use a saint candle like those I used as a kid in Latino Catholism. If I have one set up I may keep my rosary there as well as printed prayers.

for the wips!:
- Bills fanfic owo
- i like you, and i wish i didn't
First one is. well. Bills fanfic. More specifically it's about the 2020-21 bills when stefon diggs first joins the team. How do i say this... uhhhitsacamboyau. Yeah. Hypothetical 20k Allen/Diggs camboy au. 🗿. Will i ever finish this bc of said ship in the fic separating? We will see.
I guess to elaborate a little more it’s very “of that time period” (aka Covid aftermath) and that’s a time I don’t really feel like exploring at the moment so yeah 😭 I would like to finish writing the story though I think there are some good elements to it. Like Josh is kind of a yearner and the descriptions are all kind of sweet idk.
The second one is also an nfl fic! It’s supposed to be abt Tyler Boyd/Joe Mixon and their situationship developing during their time as teammates. Tbh it’s very bare bones at the moment and I kind of wanted to work on it this season because they are now divisional rivals but also there were other things so 🕊️ but it’s a lot of being hesitant to really put a label on things and generally not acknowledging feelings.
