Vedic/Sidereal Astrology Musings
Topic: Venus Darakaraka
To have Venus as your darakaraka planet is to be in love with The Lover. The art lover, the music lover, the food lover. The partners of people with this darakaraka are the food connoisseur, the film buff, the starving artist, the musical prodigy, the dance student, etc. In good dignity people with Venus as their darakaraka can be attracted to partners who are creative, romantic, sensual, admired/envied/hated by others, passionate, relationship/family oriented, detail oriented, etc. Their partners may also be inclined towards business endeavors, political causes as well as creative pursuits. Think of Klaus Mikaelson in The Vampire Diaries/The Originals who literally sacrificed himself to save his daughter, Hope Mikaelson, from the Hollow.
Someone with a Venus darakaraka can attract partners who are Venusian in nature. Their partners may be:
Libra placements
Taurus placements
People with planet Venus conjunct their Sun, Moon, and/or Rising
People with Venus ruled nakshatras (Bharani, Purva Phalguni and Purva Ashadha) as their Sun, Moon and/or Rising
People with Venus as their Atmakaraka
People with Venus conjunct their midheaven.
*This primarily applies to the D1 Natal/Rasi chart but can also apply to the D9 Navamsa chart as well.
I will say that typically a Venus darakaraka gives a spouse that is short/medium height with a square face/head. Their bodies can lean towards being chubby/fleshy because of Venus’s link to over indulgence but typically they have well proportioned bodies. Physically people with Venus as their darakaraka may have significant others/spouses with features considered conventionally attractive for their sex however their appearance depends on the aspects made to the darakaraka. For example, someone with Venus as their darakaraka in the Pushya nakshatra can have a preference for skinny, tall, pale and old/older partners because Pushya is ruled by Saturn. An example of this is Angelina Jolie's ex husband Billy Bob Thorton.
Unfortunately, people with a Venus darakaraka can attract partners who also exemplify the more negative aspects of Venus. Their partners can be lazy, superficial, materialistic, self-centered, lustful towards not just the native but other people as well, they can be addicts of drugs/alcohol/sex/food, they can also be possessive over their possessions and their partners, in extreme cases they can even be violent and abusive. Two prime examples are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who simultaneously have Venus as their darakaraka but also have prominent aspects to Venus in their D1 Rasi/Natal chart.
Angelina Jolie has her Sun in Rohini (Taurus, a Venus ruled sign) and Venus conjunct her Rising in Pushya. Angelina has always been pretty forthcoming in the media when it comes to her own struggles in life. She has mentioned that by 20 years old she was addicted to almost every substance imaginable, specifically mentioning her addiction to heroin. Since this dark time in her life Angelina has given herself towards more positive associations to Venus. She has her own production company, Jolie Pas Productions, where she has produced and directed films such as First They Killed My Father which tells the story of a child soldier during the Khmer Rouge rule of Cambodia. She spends more of her time dedicated towards being a present, active and loving mother to her fifty children lol.
Brad Pitt has his Venus conjunct his Moon in Uttara Ashadha and his Mercury in Purva Ashadha (A Venus ruled nakshatra). Brad Pitt has been a significant figure in the movie industry for many, many years and rare celebrities or fans have had anything negative to say about him. Most people find him to be likable, perhaps do to financial incentive but who knows.*shrugs* In addition, he founded a production company called Plan B Entertainment, Inc., with his ex wife Jennifer Aniston and two other people. He also co-owned a French Winery with Angelina Jolie before she sold her half of the business when they split ways. After his divorce from Angelina, Brad’s addiction to alcohol was brought to the media’s attention after he was investigated by the FBI in 2016 for allegedly getting into a physical altercation with Angelina on a plane in front of their kids.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still side eyed by many people around the world for allegedly having an affair while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston.
Both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have Venus as their darakaraka so it is no wonder they were attracted to each other. The darakaraka is supposed to represent the weakest energy in the native’s birth chart and thus what the native seeks in partnerships and relationships. Therefore having the darakaraka conjunct such prominent placements in the birth chart such as the Sun, Moon and Rising can result in the native attracting partners that represent the darker aspects of that planet.
Rest assured, people with Venus as their darakaraka will have an attractive significant other who they will have a passionate relationship with. As long as planet Venus is in good dignity and has positive aspects to other planets in the natal chart this placement usually turns out very good. Just remember that everyone you meet is a reflection of yourself and every relationship is a waltz not a solo.
If you have any questions, comments, or corrections let me know.
***I’m thinking about opening up personal readings in order to practice properly deciphering the appearance of people’s significant others based on the aspects of the darakaraka in the D1 and D9 charts. Let me know if you guys might be interested.

i'm unleashing my inner academic i'm so sorry all.
in "Pacific-Asian Immigrant and Refugee Women Who Kill Their Batterers: Telling Stories that Illustrate the Significance of Specificity" julia tolmie writes: the true significance of this evidence for the purpose of the accused's self-defence case is properly understood only when it is explicitly understood in light of her unique positioning.
this is an article written in 1997 and it details two trials - muy ky chhay, an immigrant woman from cambodia, and jai fong zhou, an immigrant woman from china. (if you're interested at all please give it a read, it's available for download if you search up the title) they were both put on trial for the murder or attempted murder of their husbands, their abusers. the article is compelling on a number of levels but one of the parts of this article that pierced me through was tolmie's centering of these women and their narratives and their testimonies. you can see throughout this article tolmie's commitment to foregrounding the stories of these women, you can see that she's done what she can to research and understand, to show them as individuals first. (i will never be sane about this, do you understand)
that is to say: riordan was much more radical twenty years ago.
i will not be comparing the cases of these women to sally jackson's fictional situation. that would diminish them, the reality of their cases.
but what i do want to do is use tolmie's methodology. i want to show the significance of specificity in sally jackson's case. tolmie organizes her article into sections, and i wanted to take a few of them to look at sally jackson. so. without further ado:
1. the accused's credibility
sally jackson has no family, no one to vouch for her. it is clear throughout the lightning thief that she's isolated - and this is in contrast to gabe, who is surrounded by his poker friends constantly. she got her diploma late because she couldn't finish high school due to needing to take care of her uncle with cancer, who then died leaving her with nothing. she was young when she had percy, and never married the man who fathered him.
in the eyes of this world, sally jackson would be often overlooked, dismissed, disdained. she wanted to be a novelist, she had passion and ambition, but these were beaten down by the world. she barely got her high school degree, there's no chance that she, a single mother, gets a high paying job, so she's working at a candy shop. a job that whether or not she enjoys was not what she'd worked towards. audre lorde speaks about the difficulty of working women to write novels in "age, race, class, and sex" because of the material demands of that process. sally jackson cannot write a novel - she's working a job that cannot possibly pay her enough for her and percy to survive in new york and she's a single mother caring for a child that the schools will often describe as "a troubled kid."
not only that - sally jackson finds it difficult to make friends, because percy is not a normal child. he's a demigod. those first few years, though we don't know much about them, must have been terrifying. she's in contact with camp, chiron probably advises her to give up her son so they can stop attracting monsters, but she refuses. she calls this choice selfish. but it is so increasingly clear that percy is one of the only bright and joyful parts left in her life, that percy is who she lives for.
she chose percy. chose to raise him, chose to protect him, chose to keep him close.
2. evidence of the deceased's violence
gabe ugliano (the name is on the nose and i'm living for it) is the manager of the electronics mega-mart in queens (i have no clue what this company is but ok) he clearly has more money than sally, and i would venture to assume that the lease for the apartment is also in his name (though i also assume that sally is paying for a good amount of that apartment). that is to say, gabe has significantly more power and "respectability" in the eyes of society than sally. he's probably the reason that they're financially afloat. despite all of this, despite the fact that gabe has a clearly expensive car, he does not ever offer to cover sally's financial situation. she's still working a likely minimum wage job even though it is probably that gabe could support all three of them with his.
it is evident, from percy's first interaction with him in the books, that gabe is financially controlling and greedy. he's not stupid (at least in this regard); he works out (with an ease that implies habit) exactly how much money percy likely has. and then he takes it. it is likely that gabe also does this to sally. it is likely that he knows exactly how much money sally makes and regularly attempts to control how much she can save (think: the money for montauk came out of sally's "clothes budget"). he restricts her movement ("my mom and I hadn’t been to montauk the last two summers, because gabe said there wasn’t enough money.")
when sally returns from the underworld, gabe forces her to work to make up for the month's salary she "lost."
this is also when percy realizes that gabe hits his mother. canonically, gabe physically abuses sally. can we assume that maybe sally has been taking hits for percy? perhaps. it is clear that percy didn't realize that gabe was physically violent towards his mother, so i assume that gabe never hit percy. we don't know the extent of his physical violence. we don't need to; regardless sally jackson is in a situation where that threat of physical violence is constantly hanging over her head.
3. the accused's options in dealing with the deceased's violence
sally stays with gabe because of a myriad of reasons, most relating to what i have described above in section 2 but also, crucially, because of the protection he offers percy due to his smell.
sally isn't weak-willed. she isn't irrational. she might plead with percy to not antagonize gabe, but that's survival instinct. she understands pretty clearly her situation.
she knows how difficult it is for a single mother to survive on her own with a child. she knows how impossible it would be to do so with a child of the big three, without combat skills, without the disguise of humanness. perhaps she's resigned herself to the fact that there is no other way. perhaps she thinks that this is punishment for keeping percy close.
she cannot divorce him; he'd oppose that, and he has the financial means to hire a lawyer. and after divorce, where would she go? without the means to support herself and percy, without a support network, what options does she have?
she cannot leave, cannot call the police. she still needs to take care of percy, she still needs a place to stay.
and yet, despite all of this, at the end of the book sally makes the choice to kill gabe. she takes back agency into her own hands, and despite the financial uncertainty, despite all of the reasons that she couldn't leave, she takes her life into her own hands. not only that, but his death leads to her financial liberation.
perhaps this was due to percy finally ending up at camp, finally having that concrete safety net to fall back on. perhaps this was because gabe threatened to call the police on percy, perhaps this was because gabe fueled the terrorist accusations, perhaps any number of things.
all this to say. somehow, riordan, a white cis man, twenty years ago, managed to capture in sally jackson something real. he managed to show the structural inequities that she faced, her lack of options, and gabe's abuse in a book meant for children. in a book meant for twelve-year-olds.
and this was without explicitly showing any physical violence from gabe.
sally jackson's story is engaging because we understand somehow, despite the majority of us condemning murder, why she killed her abuser. we understand that this isn't just a toxic relationship, that this isn't a situation that sally can just leave, that both real and fantastical forces combined compel her to stay, and we cheer for her.
i want to end this unfortunately long post with a quote from tolmie, from the article i started off with:
"It has been suggested that women rarely succeed in arguing self-defense because legal doctrines and notions of what is "reasonable" do not encompass the realities of women's lives."
what better way than to break this doctrine of "reasonability" through the lens of a fantasy world.

Digital nomads - Legolas x Reader
Content & Warnings: Modern AU, drabble Word count: 0.8k Summary: You and Legolas travel the world together staying in different countries for a few weeks or months before moving on, posting traveling content and some awesome archery trick shots.
A/n: definetely brought to you with the help of 'Migration Feathers' by General Elektriks
Your blog reaches 100k subscribers when you upload the final part of the series about your trip to Cambodia – the first one out of Europe that you take with Legolas. He is so emotional about the milestone, that even your joy seems to be but a faint reflection. His genuine delight brings back the memories of your first journey together. He was smiling just as brightly when you brought him to the best places you knew in the Netherlands and filmed his honest reaction to seeing deers in De Hoge Veluwe.
______________________________________________________________
As the hiking trail takes you two to Himakånå, the view from the cliff just isn't as breathtaking as the man before you. Standing high above the lake with wind catching in his hair he seems to be some ethereal spirit of the place. Eyes as blue as the water below. Faint shade of pink dusting his face after a long climb uphill. Life paints him so vividly, that you only take a few pictures, mostly staring shamelessly.
The following week you come back with a costume and a bow, accompanied by a mutual friend, Gimli. Despite the initial grumpiness and some rough jokes he takes great interest in showing you around the best sceneries in Tysvær and cheers for the best shots like a whole supporting team.
In the completed outfit Legolas seems like an elven prince rather than a son of some big shot in law. There's a translucent fog catching on the grass under his feet, making him appear all the more mystical and dreamlike. He doesn't say it out loud, but you notice from the look in his eyes that he feels relieved not being bound to the past in one more way. As much of an escapism as it is, you respect that.
Videos and photos from the hike take up a solid half of your SD card memory and two good days of editing before they hit your blog. Once they do though – the chaos ensues. Numbers on posts double within a day, while the portraits of your boyfriend begin their grand parade around the internet. You almost feel jealous. Legolas smirks proudly, but blushes so deeply, that you can't help a smirk as well.
______________________________________________________________
When Legolas walks onto the meter-thick ice of the lake, you finally know what to compare his eye color with. Between the bottomless sky and frozen water, seemingly the only person for miles around, except for you and the guide, he looks like a deity walking through the clouds of crispy snow. He turns back at you with those magnificent azure orbs framed with frosted lashes, and a blissful wave of warmth washes over you instantly in spite of the biting cold air. Legolas has that incredible ability to share his amazement, which attracted you to him in the first place.
He strides over the smooth icy surface confidently, like he was born in one of the villages on the eastern shore, crosses the major crack in one long jump over the exposed waters of Baikal and looks up to the crystal sky, all but dedicating poems to it. The bow in his hand only adding to the romantic image. The local guide, walking beside you, watches him with a smirk and says. «If Abai Geser had come from the West, that would be him.»
______________________________________________________________
When you get from one neat bar to another, tasting cocktails – sweet, bitter and even spicy on your tongues – and mixing the flavors even more through dozens of kisses, getting rowdy on the way until dropping at some karaoke, your blog hits half a million. Legolas starts a live stream right there in the cramped little room somewhere in Seoul mere minutes before sunrise.
He talks enthusiastically to the gathering viewers, while you half-hidden behind his back get the first row seat to the show. He is flushed from the alcohol and so carefree, easily falling into the quick speech pace chattering about your Asian trip and further plans. Such a striking contrast to the uptight college boy he was when you first crossed paths.
The thought of the past two years brings a smile to your lips, curling the edges slightly. Legolas somehow takes notice even through the small image on the phone screen and turns to you, only to be greeted with a passionate kiss and fingers readily finding their way to his ruffled hair. «I love you. More than anything or anyone. You're my home and my freedom,» you whisper heatedly to his ear.
Your eyes dart to the still working front camera of his phone, narrowing slightly before you turn the thing off completely. To hell that live stream, the viewers and whoever else. Let them think and overthink your actions as long as they wish. You two are now together and that means you are free from any boundaries and expectations.

2023 BL/GL/QL Round-Up Post
I thought for posterity I'd post a reflection on everything I watched that completed in 2023. For me, that means anything that started in 2022 but the last episode was in 2023 is on this list, but anything that will still be airing after 31 December 2023 11:59 my time (EST) is not on this list, even if the bulk of the show did air in 2023.
A few stats:
110 discrete pieces of content (series/films)
clocking in at est. 600 hours of NEW BL/GL content only
from 9 different countries (Cambodia [1], Philippines [3], Hong Kong [1], Japan [18], Korea [19], Myanmar [1], Taiwan [6], Thailand [56], Vietnam [7])
~50% of the content I watched on this list is from Thailand
~85% of my content was on YouTube [40%], GaGaOoLaLa [23%] and iQIYI [21%].
[Note that this year a lot of older GMMTV shows moved off of YouTube and onto Viki so if you're looking at these stats to decide what to pay for, this won't account for that.]
This doesn't include re-watches or catching up on old shows [e.g. I re-watched Love Sick, My Ride the Series, Semantic Error, ITSAY/IPYTM, Our Dating Sim at least 3 times lol, and anything with a s2 I re-watched s1 to prep, among others, watched Fujoshi Ukkari Gei no Kokuru (2019) for the first time] or non-QL [e.g. Heartstopper s2, Our Flag Means Death s2, Taskmaster s. 15 & 16, Uncanny Counter s2, One Piece s1, etc.] but does include films as well as shows, though I don't count special episodes separately (so Wedding Plan counts once, though I watched both the show and the special).
I hope you all appreciate that with this much content, and with my general brand of being unable to make decisions, I really struggled to narrow down a top 10 list. What follows is the best I could do lol
Top 20 Shows I'd Recommend From This Year:
Moonlight Chicken
Our Dating Sim
Bed Friend
The Eighth Sense
La Pluie
Sing My Crush
Tokyo in April Is...
Wedding Plan
Laws of Attraction
I Cannot Reach You
I Feel You Linger in the Air
What Did You Eat Yesterday S2
I Became the Lead in a BL Drama
If It's With You
Love in Translation
Our Dining Table
My Personal Weatherman
My Beautiful Man: Eternal
My School President
Be My Favorite
+10 I liked but I would only recommend with caveats:
Love Class 2
The New Employee [for the Rainbow Rice Cakes]
Let's Eat Together Aki and Haru
Never Let Me Go
Kiseki: Dear to Me
Unintentional Love Story
The Day I Loved You
End of the World with You
A Breeze of Love
Jack O'Frost
Bonus: Not a BL but worth calling out:
One Room Angel
Midnight Museum
Grand Guignol
The Warp Effect
Sadly, of the GLs that aired this year, I wouldn't recommend any of them. The best one was Show Me Love, which was not actually good but had very gorgeous women and a LOT of flirting.
The other huge thing that happened this year was that I stopped lurking! Thanks specifically to @lurkingshan and @bengiyo demanding everyone start talking about La Pluie, because they got me to post my first meta post. And because I started actually talking to people, I started making actual friends, and participated in organizing things like the Be My Favorite clown checkpoint for ep 11. I also disappeared a month because of life, and am still catching up on everything I intended to write this year. But it's been really rewarding finding this corner of tumblr with likeminded people who like good shows, like to think about these shows, and who are interested in talking about them in a way that's insightful and respectful.
It's been a long time since I felt comfortable enough participating actively in a fandom, and I just want to say to everyone I've interacted with this year: Thank you!
Full list under the cut for anyone curious! [Mostly in order it aired but may be slightly off].
Love Bill
Director Who Buys Me Dinner, The
Star Always Follow You, The
Cutie Pie 2 You
Between Us the Series (Hemp Rope)

This carnivore plant is called Nepenthes holdenii and is found in western Cambodia, where it grows about 600-800 meters above sea level.
They use a passive trap to catch bugs. The top edge of the plant, known as peristome, segregates the nectar that attracts insects to this deadly trap. In the mouth of the plant, a slippery layer called epicuticular wax causes insects to lose balance and slide to the base of the trap, filled with rainwater, where they eventually get caught.
