Oh, just some mean emperor, though I can't remember his name...But I taught him a good lesson, so don't worry. We're gonna be okay..

*they come rushing to his side, it seemed as though they were out of breath and sweating, but they had something in their hands..red wine, some of it on their shirt*

"I-I got you *huff* something! *huff* To help at least while you're healing.

“Awww why thank you!”

To gain your trust...

SUMMARY: Going to the house of the wind to heal an injured fae is more strange than expected. *Warnings: Stalker!Azriel, OFC with name (I need my character to have a name, but you are free to use another one!), Healer!FC, Rhysand and Cassian are annoying; FC is confused and mentions a slight fake injury. That's it I think, but let me know if I missed something. A/N: Just a little fic I had on my mind. Let me know how I do because this is my first time writing something so long. Enjoy!

PART TWO

🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄

In the dawn court, everything was made of gold.

During dawn, the streets sparked and created a shine that would never be found anywhere else; the skin of the fae sparked just as gold did, as if they had glitter spread over their cheeks. The streets were filled with music that couldn't be found anywhere else, and there was so much wonder in the sky when the sun was setting. The sight was so beautiful it made her want to cry.

That's what Iris missed the most about home,

Well, that and not having to climb all these stupid stairs.

Usually, Madja was the one who came to the house of wind when a healer was needed (it was the house of the General and his mate, so they wouldn't allow a stranger in). The high Lord was usually the one who winnowed her or flew her in, but considering that the inner circle and Iris had no connection or relationship whatsoever, she had no one to ask for a ride.

So she suffered as she climbed, cursing the creator of the stairs as her legs shook and she questioned her existence. Why was she in the night court again and not in her beautiful court? Oh yes, because she wanted to learn from Madja.

Best and worst decision of her life, if she was being honest.

But still, she climbed the stairs wishing she had the ability to winnow, fly , or teleport or just...do something instead of climbing. Lady Nesta was strong, but she clearly was not.

When she finally reached the top of the stairs, a painful moan left her lips just as her knees gave out. She fell on the floor with a thud and stayed there wondering how she would survive going down. Perhaps she would jump from the side of the house, it seemed more productive.

"Not to interrupt your train of thought, but you are needed a bit closer to the sparring ring." A low voice mumbled behind her, causing her to jump startled and almost fall forward in fear.

Something cold wrapped itself around her waist as a yelp left her mouth; the thing around her waist pulled her back and away from the stairs. "BY THE MOTHER AND HER CAULDRON!" She shouted, being moved away against her will. Once she was a few feet away, the feeling around her waist disappeared, and she was left looking terrified while she clutched her bag close to her chest, eyes wide.

Her eyes turned to a male with long hair and a smug grin on his face, his eyes bright with contained laughter. "Hello, Iris." He acknowledged her.

Iris swallowed and gripped the bag tighter. "Lord Cassian." She mumbled softly, trying to put on a brave facade but failing due to her early near death.

Cassian smiled at her, a bit brighter. "You were too close to the stairs," he noted.

Iris felt herself blush in embarrassment. "Yes, thank you for saving me." He should have left her fall and saved herself from this moment.

Cassian chuckled softly and shook his head. "Your gratitude is misdirected, Iris. You should thank our shadow singer."

Iris's mind reeled. The shadow singer? Azriel?

Cassian seemed to notice her confusion, and he also seemed to enjoy it. "Azriel sent his shadows over when he noticed you; they are the ones you should thank."

Iris merely blinked at him, cursing in her mind at herself.

"Shall we? You are expected." His hand motioned for her to walk ahead, so she tightened her grip on her bag and started walking.

After a few seconds, she stopped in her tracks when she noticed Lord Rhysand and his shadow singer on the ground; Lord Rhysand was staring at the shadow singer with a smile as the winged male clutched his hand on his chest. When he heard her, he gave her a smile, his starlight eyes shining in amusement.

"Oh, Iris. You're here," He said happily, standing up. "We were waiting for you."

Iris frowned slightly at the High Lord, confused. Since when was he so happy to see her?

"High Lord." She mumbles with a nod, still confused at his happiness.

The High Lord smiled brighter and moved away, standing beside Cassian. "Our shadow singer seems to have broken his wrist, and we were wondering if you could, perhaps, give him a hand?"

For some reason, Cassian started laughing, and Rhysand chuckled darkly. Iris looked between both males, wondering what they were laughing about.

"Enough." The dark voice of the shadow singer snapped from the floor, clearly not amused at whatever his brothers were laughing at.

Iris turned her head to him, only to find his eyes on her, analytic. Her body tensed up, noticing how he caught the change of mood.

Her reaction was natural, of course. After she had arrived at the night court a year ago, she had expected to be welcomed by Madja only to have been winnowed into an interrogation cell in the Hewn city, the shadow singer staring at her coldly and asking her why she would go to the night court.

Iris had been confused and scared, but she had answered sincerely; her answer, however, had not pleased the inner circle, and she had been kept in the cell for two days, the same question being asked over and over and over again until her High Lord had gone to confirm her identity. Yes, she was a healer with exceptional healing magic. No, she was not a spy. Yes, he was sure. He had no reason to send a spy to the night court. No, he wasn't lying. Yes, they could look into his head. No, he had never seen her before.

After two days, she was released from her prison and taken by Thesan, who took her to a suite in the Sidra and taught her how to use mind shields to protect herself from the daemati. Afterward, Thesan walked her to Madja's house, only to announce that the shadow singer would trail her for a few days.

Seeing him reminded her of the awful ten months of having eyes on her back, and she didn't like the feeling of being there again.

"Shadow singer." She mumbled coldly.

"Iris." He said, tilting his head, shadows like waves around him.

She wanted to bash his head to the floor.

But she would heal his wrist first.

She got on her knees, placing her bag beside them. "May I see your hand?" The question left her mouth sharply, angrily, but the shadow singer listened and stretched his hand towards her so she could inspect it.

Once she saw his wrist, her frown deepened. Turning to the High Lord, she spoke, "My apologies, High Lord, but what am I meant to heal?"

The High Lord's grin widened. "His wrist, of course."

Iris wanted to smack him. "His wrist seems perfectly fine." the words left her calmly. She had dealt with complex patients back home and would do it here too.

"Is it? I could have sworn it was broken. Isn't that right, brother?" The question was directed to Cassian, who only grinned wider and nodded.

"Yes it was. Horrible thing to see."

"He seems to be fine now," Iris stated, turning her gaze back to his hand.

"Oh, you should still check if it's okay. Bones, you know, no way of telling when they are broken." Iris was sure she had made a face when the High Lord made his comment. She had seen enough broken bones to know they had a tendency to made themselves painfully known.

Her ears catch a soft chuckle, which causes her to bring her eyes up to meet the shadow singer, noticing the slight grin on his lips. What was so funny now?; he noticed her look, and quickly erased the smirk, looking back down at his hand.

Counting mentally to ten, she grabbed his hand, noticing how he tensed up at the sudden touch; even the High Lord and his general had stopped chuckling behind them.

Carefully, she traced her fingers over his wrist, feeling the ridges of his scars but paying them no heed. Her magic wrapped itself warmly around his wrist, inspecting it and then retreating when she found nothing. Her hands let go of his softly.

"His wrist is not broken," Iris mumbled, turning to her bag. "Neither are the tendons. Are you in any pain?" Her words seemed to echo in the empty space, which made her nervous. Had she done something wrong?

"A bit." His voice came out slightly lower and raspier than usual as if a river were rushing through stones. For some reason, it caused a tingle in her spine.

She opened her bag and fumbled with some glass jars, finally pulling one after a few seconds. "Here, this should help." She turned back to the shadow singer, holding the jar out to him.

He eyed it, suspiciously. "What is it?"

"It's devil's claw, an anti-inflammatory," she grabbed another bottle. "And this is passionflower, to help with any pain. It seems your syphons did all the healing, but I will give you this just in case."

The shadow singer grabbed both bottles uncertainly. "Why not use your magic to heal me entirely?" He questioned, pocketing the jars.

Iris closed her bag. "I trust plants as much as I trust magic, if not more." He seemed curious about her explanation but nodded, not questioning her. Careful with his massive wings, he stood up and stretched his hand out to her.

"Allow me to help you."

Iris eyes his hand warily but decides to grab it. His hand was soft due to the scar tissue, warm as he helped her stand up; once she was up, she released his hand and turned to the High Lord and the general, both males looking at her with interest.

"Is there something else you require, High Lord?" She hoped he would say no. She wanted to go home and keep working on her herbal remedy.

"No, Iris. I am grateful for your help." The High Lord gave her a soft smile which was enough to send Iris over the border and make a run for it.

"In that case, I'll leave." With another nod, her feet took her to the stupid stairs.

"Iris." The shadow singer called out behind her, stopping her in her tracks. When she turned around, he was holding her bag on his hands. "You forget this."

Her cheeks flamed in embarrassment, staring at how the shadow singer made his way to her, her bag on his hands, his shadows pooling at his feet.

She cursed at him for being so handsome, then cursed at herself for thinking that. "Thank you." Her fingers wrapped themselves around the straps, taking them away from his hand.

The shadow singer eyed the stairs behind her. "Let me take you to your home." He offered, his hazel eyes going to hers, a strange brightness in them. Iris, however, felt sour at the reminder that he knew where he lived due to his stalking.

"I think I will brave the stairs, but thank you." Azriel arched an eyebrow, and the motion was so smooth that she stared at him in awe for a few seconds, her heart picking up speed.

"It's a lot of stars," he noted. "Allow me to do it, as repayment for helping me."

Iris wanted to say that she had only done her job, but considering how badly her legs were shaking and how -due to the climb, not to the shadow singer, of course- hot she was, she decided to accept.

"Alright then," she uttered, trying to put on a brave front. "I would appreciate it."

Azriel smirked at her and stretch his hand out for her to grab, his eyes a bit dark. "Shall we?"

For some reason, Iris felt it was a test but she couldn't comprehend why. Still, she didn't wanted to fail, so she grabbed his hand and nodded.

"Take me home, please."

And with a small, soft smile, shadows twisted themselves around her body. and a strong grasp on her hand, they winnowed away.

🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄🗡️🌄

After successfully -and awkwardly- dropping Iris at the front of her suite in the Sidra, Azriel went back to the house of wind where his brothers awaited for him with smiles on their faces.

"She gave you medicinal plants!" Cassian exclaimed as soon as he landed on the floor. "Isn't that the same as food offering?"

"If it were the case, then I'm afraid she's been accepting many." Rhysand laughed, a distant looked on his face. "Feyre is wondering is she can come for dinner tonight."

"No," Azriel answered for her. She wouldn't be near any of them any time soon.

"You wound me, brother." Rhysand purred. "We won't harm her."

"I'm aware, but she doesn't trust me just yet." He said shamefully.

"I wouldn't trust you either, if we are being honest." Cassian whispered, laughing at the look Azriel gave him. "You can't blame the poor girl for her behaviour, brother. You stalked her for almost all of her stay."

"I was doing my job." Azriel defended himself with no conviction.

"No, you were being an idiot." Rhysand declared. "Feyre and me asked you to watch her for a week, no more."

Azriel had to agree on that. They had only said a week but then he had just become so obsessed with her, her life, and how she was settling in. enjoying...once he realized what he was doing, he stopped but it seemed Iris still remembered.

"I'll fix it." Azriel smiled confidently.

"Oh, you will, brother," Cassian laughed. "I wonder how long it will take before your mate accepts you."

Tag list!: (Literally the shortest tag list ever but I love you for being part of it) @rcarbo1 @tele86 @lilah-asteria

[glossamerfaerie]

ACOTAR characters and the solar eclipse

Cassian: stares directly at the hidden sun without protective glasses, the dummy.

Nesta: whacks Cassian for his stupidity. She is unamused by her mate tackling her into his arms and flying straight into the clouds. Once she stops scowling and struggling, Nesta is quietly awed by how beautiful the sky looks. They spend the next few hours in the skies, flying north and following the eclipse’s path to the Illyrian mountains.**

Gwyn: hangs out in the training ground with her fellow priestesses, Emerie, and Azriel. Cassian had grabbed Nesta in the middle of training, and everyone else had agreed to pause their drills to admire the sky. While the priestesses and Emerie chatter amongst themselves, Gwyn notices that Az has removed himself from the group and is standing near the weapon rack. Gwyn approaches Az, teasing him that as a Shadowsinger, the eclipse is a triumphant moment for the shadows to come out and conquer the training ground. A puzzled Az asks what she means. Gwyn shrugs, explaining that she’d noticed that the shadows avoid direct sunlight and stay away during morning training. She’d only ever seen them at night or inside the house, you see. At these words, the shadows cautiously exit the House of Wind — but they don’t swarm the darkened training ground like Gwyn expected. Instead the shadows stay close to Gwyn for the duration of the eclipse. Gwyn laughs in delight and pretends to bat them away in jest. When the returning sunshine marks the end of the eclipse, the shadows don’t disappear into the safety of the house. To Az’s shock, the shadows hover around Gwyn for the rest of training, seemingly immune to their fear of sunlight for the first time ever.

Feyre, Rhys, and Nyx: Feyre has ensured that Nyx can’t take off his protective glasses by accident, taping them securely to the back of his head. When the eclipse starts, Nyx gets very upset and starts bawling — not because he’s scared of the dark, but because this has never happened before and it’s scary. Feyre quickly uses her Day Court power to light up her body, distracting Nyx and providing a source of light. When that doesn’t quell the crying, Rhys comes over and does his Night Court blanket of darkness trick, coating the River House with his power and stars. It’s still dark, but Nyx is familiar with this kind of darkness and stops fussing. 🥹

Elain: watches the eclipse in her garden. Alone. When the sun disappears, Elain suddenly, desperately, irrationally wishes for Luci sunshine. She wishes for sunshine, nothing else. Elain is relieved when the world goes back to normal an hour later, chalking up her pesky thoughts to temporary insanity and sun deprivation.

Helion: there’s no solar eclipse in the Day Court, duh. The Prythian path of totality has a random break between the Dawn and Night courts. Even science and gravitational physics have to obey the court borders, obviously. Rhys did invite Helion to view the eclipse in Velaris, but Helion declined. He’d attended a previous eclipse centuries ago and felt his magic wane during the phenomenon; while beautiful to witness, Helion has no desire to experience that vulnerability again after Amarantha’s imprisonment.***

————

I wrote this out very quickly and missed some folks — I’d love to know how you think the characters would react! Wanna add your own take? Feel free to reblog or comment. ☀️🌄☀️

** Yes, I know the eclipse travelled southwest in the real world, but let’s pretend it can go north. I don’t know if that’s possible with science 😭

*** Idea shamelessly stolen from Avatar: The Last Airbender 😅 Hey, it makes sense!

( cool! just say if there's anything you like to change or add. Action! 🎬)

*they did not think they would find themselves in this predicament...that's a lie, they absolutely would be running away from guards after stealing some red wine, for the reasonable evidence that they're still a child.*

*still determined as they are, they past the many people through busy crowds, to ignore the shouts behind. They turned and-*

"OOF-"

*bumped right into someone, causing their body to stumble back from the force, but still clinging protectivdly over the red wine*

(ooc: okay, okay, so if hypothetically, you were offer another side story to add, but coming from the other side, basically another perspective, would you be down?)

I had this in mind so far, and you can add to it or change it, or nah (it's silly) ->

Commodus and orange (yes that's their name), somehow pass by another [maybe it can an accident, bumping into each other, helping another out, etc?] But Orange is still traumatized and upset about finding their dear friend, Apollo getting brutally broken, trying to find something to help them. But without knowing that Commodus is the one actually responsible, and treats him without any suspicion, form a bit of a friendship?, then see what he responds?

(Idk, what do you think? Again, you don't have to, it's just a silly idea, and you go get ice cream or whatever or I'll Men In Black you with that blue laser to have u forget this :v)

//ykw it's extremely funny hell yeah

Cosmic Architecture

🏛️🌠 How Ancient Civilizations Built the Stars into Their Structures 🔭🌍

Ever wondered why certain ancient structures seem to align perfectly with celestial events? It's not just coincidence - our ancestors were master sky-watchers who integrated astrology and astronomy into their architecture. Let's explore this fascinating fusion of earth and sky!

🔍 The Zodiac in Stone:

Great Pyramid of Giza 🔺

Aligned with cardinal directions

Air shafts point to important stars in Orion and Draco constellations

Possible connection to Orion's Belt (Osiris in Egyptian mythology)

Angkor Wat, Cambodia 🛕

Layout mimics the constellation Draco

Aligned with solar equinoxes

Possible representation of the Hindu cosmic ocean

Stonehenge, England 🗿

Aligns with summer solstice sunrise

Possible lunar calendar function

Theories suggest connections to eclipses and planetary cycles

Chichen Itza, Mexico 🐍

El Castillo pyramid aligns with Venus cycles

Equinox shadow resembles a serpent (Kukulkan)

Observatory (El Caracol) tracks Venus, equinoxes, and solstices

Newgrange, Ireland 🌄

Winter solstice sunrise illuminates inner chamber

Possible lunar alignments

Spiral carvings might represent celestial movements

🤯 Mind-Blowing Connections:

Sacred Geometry: Many structures use the Golden Ratio (1.618), mirroring patterns found in nature and the cosmos

Astronomical Precision: Some alignments are so accurate they still work thousands of years later!

Global Phenomenon: Cultures worldwide, often with no contact, developed similar astrological architecture

🔮 Astrological Implications:

Taurus ♉ - Earth Sign Connection: Many of these structures emphasize groundedness and permanence, reflecting Taurus energy

Leo ♌ - Solar Alignments: Solstice alignments might relate to Leo's ruling planet, the Sun

Sagittarius ♐ - Quest for Knowledge: The explorer spirit of Sagittarius reflects in the astronomical curiosity of these builders

Capricorn ♑ - Enduring Structures: The longevity and ambition of these projects resonate with Capricorn traits

Aquarius ♒ - Visionary Innovation: The forward-thinking, almost alien-like precision embodies Aquarian energy

🧠 Unique Perspectives:

Time Capsules of Ancient Astrology: These structures preserve astrological knowledge from millennia ago, offering insights into how our ancestors viewed cosmic cycles

Architectural Horoscopes: Could the placement and alignments of these structures be seen as a kind of "architectural horoscope" for entire civilizations?

Energetic Ley Lines: Some theorize these structures were built on Earth's "energy points," amplifying cosmic connections

Modern Astrological Architecture: How might we incorporate these principles into modern buildings for better cosmic harmony?

Personal Cosmic Spaces: Could aligning our living spaces with celestial events enhance our connection to astrological energies?

💭 Food for Thought:

How might our understanding of astrology change if we viewed it through the lens of ancient architecture?

Could there be undiscovered astrological alignments in other ancient (or even modern) structures?

How does knowing about these cosmic connections change your perspective on human history and capability?

Remember, every time you look at these ancient wonders, you're not just seeing stones and mortar - you're witnessing a cosmic map, a celestial clock, and an astrological textbook all rolled into one. Our ancestors left us a legacy written in the stars and etched in stone. What cosmic messages are we leaving for future generations? 🌠🏛️

Wherever you go, there you are. 🌎 Jon Kabat-Zinn

In these simple words lies a profound truth—a compass for our wandering souls. Let’s explore its essence:

🌿 The Nomad’s Wisdom: Picture a traveler—a dusty road, a tattered map. They journey across deserts, forests, and forgotten villages. Yet, no matter the miles, they carry themselves—their laughter, their scars, their dreams.

🌅 At sunrise, they stand on a mountaintop, gazing at the horizon. The sun paints the sky—a canvas of possibility. But it’s not the distant peaks that matter; it’s the heartbeat within—their own rhythm of existence.

🌊 By the ocean, they listen. Waves whisper secrets—the tales of sailors lost, the echoes of ancient seafarers. Yet, in the salt-kissed breeze, they find their own story—the ebb and flow of their soul.

🌄 At sunset, they sit on a cliff’s edge. The sun dips, casting shadows. It’s not the fading light that moves them; it’s the fire burning within—their passions, their fears, their unspoken prayers.

🌱 In the forest, they walk. Leaves crunch underfoot, and moss blankets ancient stones. The trees—silent witnesses—know their name. For wherever they tread, they carry their essence—their laughter, their scars, their dreams.

🔭 In the cosmos, they stargaze. Orion, Cassiopeia, the Milky Way—they map constellations. Yet, the brightest star is within—their own heart—a celestial navigation guiding them through existence.

🌟 The Mirror of Self: Wherever they go, they meet themselves. In crowded cities or empty deserts, they confront their reflections—their choices, their vulnerabilities, their resilience.

So, my fellow wanderer, embrace the journey. For in every step, you carry the universe—the stardust, the memories, the wonder. Wherever you go, there you are—a constellation of moments, a masterpiece of being. 🌌✨

letter to the sunset 7/6/23

today, i think i found a bit of myself again.

there's always something special with how the sun goes down in UP Diliman. it sinks down to its resting place in the west under the kind shade of trees aged by time, under the shadows of youthful skyscrapers down the lanes of Commonwealth Avenue, under the wide fields of green that surround the University Avenue, under the sounds and sights and movements of the people in the campus, turning their faces toward it and smiling as its gentle downfall gives rise to a spectacle of vibrant hues of orange and pink, of rays of light searing through eyeglasses and camera lenses, of silhouettes of things that stand before its fading glory.... of silence, solitude, and a quiet hope for a better sunrise on the next day.

the sunset reflects your soul.

it's how i finally saw myself again after all these months of blindness and darkness, of not knowing where to set my sight on and where to go, of losing the light that I longed for and needed to grow.

i hope i don't lose sight of the sunset again,

of who i am.

♓️🌝 The Most Majestic Tarot Spread For 2023's Full Moon In Pisces

Before diving into the Full Moon in Pisces Tarot Spread, explore Molly McCord's enlightening insights in her YouTube video "Pisces Full Moon - Integrating More of Your Intuition Into Your Responsibilities¹." We've distilled key takeaways from her discourse on the upcoming August 30th, 2023, Pisces Full Moon. Discover the interplay between intuition and responsibility and the significance of this celestial event in shaping our path.

Unveiling the Mysteries: Navigating the Pisces Full Moon of August 2023 🌕🌟

The Dance of Moon and Sun:

As the moon takes its position at seven degrees of Pisces, it directly opposes the Sun at seven degrees of Virgo. The moon reaches its peak brilliance during the full moon, illuminating aspects of our existence hidden in the shadows. Dive deep into your astrological chart, identify the presence of seven degrees in your placements, and open yourself to the cosmic messages being delivered. 🌝🌞✉️

Pisces Moon's Whispering Intuition:

The moon's placement in Pisces infuses the atmosphere with sensitivity, intuition, and a yearning for solitude. This is a time to embrace your internal world, listen closely to your soul's whispers, and trust the feelings that arise, even when they're intangible. The Pisces moon beckons you to connect with the essence of your being and honor the importance of quiet contemplation. 🌊🤫🧘‍♀️

Virgo Sun's Analytical Gaze:

In contrast, the Sun in Virgo brings forth its practical, analytical energy. Rooted in Earth, Virgo's energy urges us to adapt, analyze, and diligently attend to our responsibilities. This energy calls for a harmonious balance between intuitive Pisces and methodical Virgo, creating a synergy that guides us toward informed decisions and grounded actions. 🌍🔍💼

Saturn's Karmic Influence:

Saturn stands at the heart of this celestial ballet, stationed at three degrees of Pisces in retrograde motion. Saturn reminds us of our energetic responsibilities, unfinished tasks, and the karmic threads that need attention. The Pisces Full Moon aligns with Saturn, bringing forgotten matters back into focus. This conjunction provides an opportunity for self-awareness, growth, and releasing what no longer serves us. ⏳🪶🌱

Facing Uncertainty and Finding Guidance:

This cosmic convergence may stir feelings of uncertainty and even vulnerability. The moon's connection with Saturn might lead us to question our path, causing feelings of isolation and powerlessness. However, remember that this discomfort is a catalyst for growth. Embrace the energy as a gentle nudge from the universe, encouraging you to trust your intuition, even when you can't see the bigger picture. 🤔💫🚀

Embracing Humility and Wisdom:

Amid the uncertainty, the Pisces Full Moon encourages humility. Acknowledge that you don't have all the answers, and that's perfectly okay. The song "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell resonates with the essence of this moment, reminding us to remain open to new experiences and wisdom. Trust your soul's guidance, even amidst life's uncertainties. 🎶🌄🌠

"I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow It's love's illusions that I recall I really don't know love Really don't know love at all."

Integration of Spiritual Wisdom:

This full moon sheds light on integrating your spiritual self into your daily reality. Let your intuition and inner wisdom become guiding lights, aiding you in navigating the complex energies swirling around. Your spiritual muscles have been developing, urging you to embrace your intuitive gifts and use them as a compass through the storms of life. 🌟🧠💡

Balancing Practicality and Spirituality:

The harmonious dance between Virgo and Pisces, practicality and spirituality, invites you to be responsible with your energy and intuitive insights. This energy is a call to action, a push to address pending matters and trust your internal compass. Consider seeking physical, tangible support for your journey as the angelic essence of Pisces embraces you. 🤝👼🌄

Conclusion:

As the Pisces Full Moon graces the cosmos, it reminds you to trust your intuition and inner wisdom, even amidst uncertainty. Embrace the dance between the practical and the mystical, and find solace in the unknown. This celestial event encourages us to release what no longer serves us, honor our responsibilities, and navigate life with humility and spiritual strength. 🌕🌌🔮

Bali – A Photographer and Videographer’s Guide Tips 👉 https://bysumex.com/bali-a-photographer-and-videographers-guide-tips/

Bali is a dream destination for photographers and videographers, offering a mesmerizing palette of vibrant colors, dramatic landscapes, and rich culture. From stunning sunrises over the rice terraces to the golden glow of sunsets over pristine beaches, every moment in Bali is a visual masterpiece waiting to be captured.

🌅 Sunrise Spots: The Magic Begins Early

Mount Batur: Start your day with a hike to Mount Batur. The breathtaking view of the sunrise from the peak is worth every step. The light breaking over the volcanic landscape creates an ethereal, misty backdrop perfect for both stills and time-lapse videos.

Tegallalang Rice Terraces: The soft morning light gently illuminates the rice fields, highlighting the layered greens and providing excellent opportunities for drone shots or wide-angle photography.

Sanur Beach: With its calm waters and traditional fishing boats, Sanur Beach offers a serene spot for sunrise photography. Capture reflections on the water or use the boats as interesting foreground elements.

🌄 Sunset Spots: Golden Hour Bliss

Tanah Lot Temple: As the sun dips into the ocean, Tanah Lot offers a dramatic silhouette against a colorful sky. The waves crashing against the temple rock create dynamic action shots or cinematic sequences.

Uluwatu Temple: Perched on a cliff, Uluwatu is perfect for both sunset photography and videography. Capture the Kecak Fire Dance with the setting sun as the backdrop for a cultural shot that stands out.

Campuhan Ridge Walk: This ridge offers a unique perspective with sweeping views of the valley and surrounding landscapes. It's a great location to experiment with light and shadows during sunset.

📸 Tips for Photography and Videography in Bali:

Golden Hour is Your Best Friend: Plan your shoots around sunrise and sunset when the light is soft and warm. The shadows are longer, and the colors more vivid, giving your photos and videos a magical feel.

Bring a Polarizing Filter: This helps reduce glare and enhances the blues in the sky and water, particularly useful for beach and waterfall shots.

Use a Tripod for Low Light: Essential for sunrise and sunset shots, especially when capturing long exposures or time-lapse videos.

Drone for Aerial Shots: Bali's landscapes are best appreciated from above. Use a drone to capture sweeping views of rice terraces, cliffs, and beaches. Always check local regulations before flying.

Pack Light, Pack Smart: Bali's terrain varies from beaches to mountains, so pack versatile gear. A lightweight tripod, a wide-angle lens for landscapes, and a fast prime lens for low light are essentials.

Respect the Culture: Bali is rich in tradition. Always ask for permission when photographing people, especially in temples or during ceremonies. Be respectful of sacred places and local customs.

Capture the Unexpected: Beyond the iconic spots, explore the streets, markets, and rural villages. Bali’s true essence lies in its everyday moments—capture them authentically.

🎥 Editing Tips:

Highlight Natural Colors: Emphasize the natural greens, blues, and golds in your edits to bring out Bali's vibrant palette.

Stabilization is Key: Use stabilization tools to ensure your video footage is smooth, especially when walking or moving.

Play with Speed: Incorporate slow motion for waves or temple dances and time-lapse for bustling markets or clouds moving over mountains.

Bali is a canvas painted by nature and culture. Whether you're capturing the golden hues of a sunset or the quiet beauty of a rice terrace at dawn, this island offers endless possibilities for creative storytelling. Grab your camera, pack your lenses, and get ready to capture the magic of Bali! 🌺📷🌴
