#And not indicative of the entire experience

VEDIC OBSERVATIONS 7

Accuracy is influenced by the entire chart. These are observations from real people. Your personal chart will influence how these placements manifest for you.

Saturn in 8th H of navamsa - this indicates you will have to fight with your family or the spouse’s family on behalf of your marriage and/or kids. This can occur at any point in life, however it is likely much later.

Ketu in 8th H of navamsa - this indicates pregnancy/kids before marriage. this can manifest as marrying someone w/ kids or an unexpected pregnancy. Depending on entire chart, this can become a secret.

8th H in navamsa and d1 can show what your spouse does for income. An exalted or benefic placed here shows the couple can make a lot of wealth together.

Sun in Aries in 8th H navamsa - this women’s husband’s family made a lot of wealth through manufacturing products used in weapons for law enforcement & military in their country. This is extremely unlikely to be your exact situation if you share this placement. However, sun here is exalted so your spouse and his family is likely to benefit/support your marriage/you.

Moon conjunct Ketu - Your mother may be spiritual/religious. You may feel your mother failed to nourish you correctly. She may have neglected you when you really needed her. She may be more focused on other things/people - your siblings, her own romantic life, her career, etc. - positive aspects like conjunct Jupiter can change this.

Being emotionally present can be difficult. You may exhibit trait's of aqua or pisces moon - difficulty being vulnerable/expressing emotions, daydreaming, escapism.

Moon conjunct Ketu in 11th House - You can experience something difficult regarding social circles/friendships. At some point, you may be cut out of your friend group. You may always feel different and detached from your friend group.

This is all very general information, not looking into signs, aspects and other placements. However, I have noticed this indicates divorced parents. And/or your parent's have a distant relationship - remain married but show no romantic love or intimacy toward one another.

If they are divorced, the father can avoid seeing and/or talking about the mother. They are not the type of divorced parents to remain friends or be enemies. Instead, they are likely to ignore the other's existence as much as possible.

In another woman's chart, I noticed her parent's are not divorced but she did get divorced. The above describes her relationship with her ex and her child - she is distant and struggles to nurture/support her child. Things improved when she was able to get the help of her mother and grandma to help raise the child.

If you have Moon conjunct Ketu in 11th H, I would love to hear your experience and thoughts on this.

Saturn in 4th House - Disciplined household. Your mother could be strict about being on time, clean household, organization, etc. This can be taken to an extreme or help you develop consistency + discipline that later help you in your career.

If in a co-ruled sign - virgo/gemini, sag/pisces, aqua/cap, scorpio/aries - there is a possibility of a distant relationship with a parent due to divorce - 2 homes. Less likely for cap/aqua as this is saturn's home signs.

Accuracy is influenced by the ENTIRE chart.

Sun in 12th House - When Sun is harshly placed - for ex: in libra - these people will run into conflict with authority figures. This can manifest as issues with a parent, issues with bosses, issues with teachers, etc.

Mars conjunct Venus - this is one indicator of people who marry quickly after meeting. What one defines as quickly will vary. However, in general I think marrying within 3 years of meeting is considered quick in societies who don’t commonly do arranged marriages.

This is only one indicator and this will NOT be true for everyone with this placement. dashas, UL and d9 need to be taken into consideration for marriage timing.

ex: one women ik has this in leo 2nd H. She met her husband 2010 & married 2012. 2 years of dating, married & engaged in 1.

ex.2: another has this in aries 2nd H. She met her husband 2015 & married 2017. 2 years of dating, married & engaged in 1.

ex.3: another has this in pisces (house unknown). She met her husband 2008 & married in 2010. 1 year of dating, engaged in the 2nd, married in 3rd year of knowing on another.

Venus in Aspect to Saturn - this on the other hand appears in the charts of people ik who dated for years before marriage.

ex: Venus opposite Saturn - 7 years of dating. Married in 8th.

ex: Venus trine Saturn - 6 years of dating. Married in 8th.

Saturn DK &/or Saturn ruled 7th H - this can show late marriage too.

ex: Saturn DK & Aqua 7th H - 5 years of dating. Engaged in 6th year. Married in 7th.

Accuracy is influenced by the entire chart. This is very generic & is not considering d9 & dasha periods which are extremely important for timing events.

Personally, I don’t see Saturn DK being that strong of an indicator for late meeting or late marriage. This is easily influenced by stronger indicators.

I really strongly dislike the terms TMA / TME for many reasons. They seem like a more woke way of saying afab / amab or transmasc / transfem, creating yet another (intersexist and exclusionary) binary that not everyone fits into. It fails to recognise the fact that, in terms of who is oppressed for what and how, gender identity doesn't play a huge role compared to race, class, immigration status, and social support. As in, transfems and transmascs (or "TMA / TME") experience very similar modes and rates of oppression and discrimination, with few margins where one is *far* more impacted than the other. Additionally, and sadly, I see the terms used far to often to basically tell transmascs to shut up about their own experiences. I'm not saying everyone who uses the terms does this, but it is a trend I do see.

Transfeminine people do experience higher rates of violent discrimination, and are the current main focus for many transphobes - this is due to many factors such as a higher 'visibility' in society and toxic masculinity breeding homophobic insecurity / the 'trans panic' defense. However, there is no real indication that transmasculine people don't also experience these same discriminations at similar rates, if slightly lower in some aspects (and slightly higher in others). It seems more that race plays a much larger part in this discussion than a lot of people would like to admit.

I also think that sometimes people forget that extreme transphobes such as JKR started their career of going 'mask off' with tweets and comments about specifically excluding trans men. People forget that she wrote an entire essay about how trans men are autistic girls with internalised sexism. People forget about 'Irreversible Damage'. I cannot take seing one more comment saying some stupid crap - the one I saw saying 'trans men wanna be oppressed so bad' really boiled my blood.

Anyway, idk, I'm sure TMA / TME has been helpful for some people, but I personally believe it divides us in a way we don't need to be divided. Solidarity seems so difficult when people aren't even allowed to talk about their shared experiences on someone's damn post.

source two showing that transmasculine people may have marginally higher rates of suicidality, anxiety, and experiences with sexual abuse

I am becoming a bit fearful the game is just going to be Solas/Sollavellan Experience featuring some other guys.

Like if it lets me pick a romance, I pick Thom, does it even ask if he was pardoned or becomes a Warden? Or is the game just gonna be like, "got it, you chose Not Solas, say no more,".

It's honestly wild to me that ToA went through so much trouble to emphasize the fact that Will did not magically fix all of Nico's problems and was explicitly not Nico's only doctor.

Only for TSATS to have Will fix all of Nico's problems and have Nico be entirely reliant on him the entire book and literally helpless without him and LITERALLY have Nico's problems be magically removed.

I’ve seen a few people argue that sydney sweeney’s popularity with straight men rn is a bellwether for the “age of the butt” being over. boobs are so back, etc. I mean, maybe? but i think there are two other things going on with her specifically.

her appearance, non-boob wise, has a very 90s-early 00s feel. and i don’t know what the polite way to say this is but… she doesn’t look like 14 people died mining the silicone that’s in her face, is the blunt way of saying it. she has frown lines. her eyes are asymmetrical. I’m not insulting her – this is good. that and her demeanor in interviews etc comes off as warm, bubbly, bordering on ditzy tbh but I’m not here to judge. when you put those two things together, you get “hot but approachable”.

so what do I mean? I think it’s probably also indicative that we’ve collectively burnt out on Instagram face. heavily filtered and heavily augmented is out! the people have spoken, and they demand sydney sweeney.

and even looping this back around to the boobs – half of the appeal to her simps is that she doesn’t have implants. pay attention!

also like i partially found out i might be intersex because i was looking at trans stuff and there was like "(however many) months on t and finally seeing some bottom growth" and like pictures of t-dicks and i was like.... um.... that's kind of just what my clit looks like anyways. so i was like "hey google give me a quick rundown on this" and learned what clitoromegaly was and then i was like. hm. intersex resources. and it's like a sign? symptom? side-effect? of certain intersex conditions

It's so crazy that therapy can work? I spend an hour chatting with some guy in a tiny room primarily through the medium of geek references and some time later I'm like.... yeah yknow what I can forgive my past self for not meeting impossible standards under extreme circumstances. and then I take a rest day instead of punishing myself into burnout.

I love Chappell Roan's music but the weird shit people are saying about her is pissing me the fuck off. First people say she's a racist conservative because she turned down performing at the White House and now she's the only lesbian to make good music ever..??? Apparently???

[petluck]

some of you "leftists" will see a dude suffering mentally and physically under capitalism and be like "mmm should've introspected harder or maybe tried not being born bad and irredeemable" and call that praxis

I don't really have a final conclusion for this, I've just been thinking recently that I appreciate the effort Shannon made to say its okay to learn differently than others and have unique needs, however Exillium being the medium through which that message is conveyed in Unlocked falls short (at least for me) because...that's also the punishment school. Having different educational needs and being sent to a different school--not to mention one that's not even part of formal society and is literally in the wild--for poor behavior/choices are two very different things, but they've been lumped together.

Yes, it's entirely okay to learn differently and have unique needs, but that's not why kids get sent to Exillium. It's not a school to help accommodate their learning. Kids are, from what we've seen, sent almost always because they've caused problems and are deemed unfit for the typical schools. Disruptive, problematic, criminal, lesser, etc. So also having it be the alternative learning school kind of implies a correlation between having different needs and making poor choices/having problem behavior. Like none of these students "learn differently" (that we've been told at least) they caused problems (intentional or not) that people didn't want to deal with. Maybe this isn't representative of all Exillium students, but it's all we've seen so far that I can recall.

And yes Exillium is improving and did have a positive initial intention, but as it is right now I find myself (personally, these are my feelings) uncomfortable at it being used to say its okay to learn differently. Because it doesn't feel like it follows through on that message. Having the school where kids with criminal behavior are sent out of sight separate from the rest of society being the school for alternate learning styles just doesn't sit quite right.

And yes, some of the kids sent there were just labeled disruptive/problematic and they didn't actually do anything wrong but be themselves, but their being fucked over by the system doesn't change that that is how the system works.

I'm not really going anywhere with this and it's difficult to articulate (I'm sure I've missed a few clarifying points because I keep debating with myself back and forth) because I do think Shannon meant well, I'm not an expert, and there are always arguments to be made to the contrary (like I said, I've been debating with myself). It's just something I've been thinking about because I always feel icky reading that part of Linh's Exillium commentary, but maybe I'm making a problem out of nothing.

today the bfi southbank cinema in london showed una questione privata as part of their season on the taviani brothers (who directed it) so of course i dressed up in my best approximation of what milton unaquestioneprivata is wearing in this movie and went. it was my first time (after like. uhh. a large number of watches) seeing this with actual subtitles that made sense and also just a lovely time. they handed out both a free book about the directors and a little page of their comments on the film. ideal experience for people like me who are a lil tiny bit obsessed with this one

(btw if this sounds fun to you and you're in london / able to reach it easily there's another showing on monday at 9pm!)

Is anyone else's mind like an encyclopedia of music that acts as your emotional compass, playing the perfect song based on what you're feeling in the moment or the current situation, or is it just me?
