These notes are drawn from personal observation and celeb info found online. Mistakes are possible. If it does not apply, let it fly. Do not steal, rewrite, or copy any of my original writing.

Venus in the 4th This placement gives "favorite of the family" vibes. Matriarch. Everyone's rock, or most nurturing, family member. Mother of the coven. Nurturing figure of their "clan". Venus blesses the 4th house themes (family, roots, emotions, home, femininity.) This does not have to be blood relatives, could be chosen family. They can be extremely in tuned with the vibes of their group, literally psychic. This allows them to be emotionally valuable to others. The shoulder or bosom to cry on. Good relationship with the mother unless afflicted Venus or Moon.

Inner Planets in the first house is where the "conventionally pretty" faces come from & as a result these natives tend to have a lot of lookalikes! Not in a bad way obviously. But, I tend to see a LOT of doppelgängers for celebrities with this among normal people. Or you can confuse one for the other.

This is because the features are not too extravagant, but normally symmetrical or "normal" and conventionally accepted. I also feel with them being closer planets, people feel closer to these natives emotionally, as if they are "down to earth" or they get the notion that who they present is who they are.

Examples:

Mars 1st house: Nicki Minaj, Raven Symone, Taylor Swift. Stunning, but a lot of people are called their lookalikes. Random, but I noticed Nicki looks A LOT like Chaka Khan. etc. Many people have idolized these baddies as the North Star of Bad Bitchdom.

Venus 1st house: Jasmine Tookes (whose lookalike is Sydney Harper, both STUNNING with similar face structure) Meagan Good, Beyonce, Mya, Angie Jolie, Selena, Keke Palmer, Cameron Diaz, Rachel McAdams, Known for being attractive, Girl next door. But, again the facial features are symmetrical & not at all eccentric.

Mercury 1st house: Pixie/ elven look, pointed, arrow shaped nose, but in a pretty way. These folks have a signature mischievous smirk, like the trickster in Thoth (Mercury). Selena Gomez (also a Sun 1st), Mya Harrison, Anya T. Joy, Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively (who both dated Ryan Reynolds lol he has a type!) Gigi and Bella H.

I do count the Luminaries within this lol. Simply, because we see the sun and moon visually in a very intimate way. This influence in the 1st house can create a very comforting vibe upon first meeting, like you know them! Sun is more so a golden aura, while the Moon native can literally tug on your heart strings.

Sun 1st House: Simone Biles, Nina Simone, Katt Williams, Doja Cat, 21 Savage. In Egyptian mythology, the sun god, Ra, rises with a Ram's head (in the form called Amun-Ra) from the 12th house here into the 1st house and the CHARISMA of these people is larger than life. Often, just flourish in the spotlight and super individualistic.

Moon 1st House: Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, SZA (her iconic love songs), Candice Swanepoel, Cardi B (not a fan, but people love her DOWN), Walt Disney (makes sense), Emma Roberts. These people are held near and dear to hearts. California also has Moon in the 1st, and probably has the most love songs of any state.

Neptune in the 1st No one talks about this enough but my favorite part of having Neptune in the 1st house is being underestimated. The illusions of Neptune become a weapon or even defense mechanism after the native does the work to see and define themselves clearly. When no one can affect your self-perspective, you become a force to reckon with! POWERFUL! No longer naive and wandering... but an expert communicator and healer.

Venus in Leo man when undeveloped, I have seen this manifest often in 2 ways: 1. Going for the "trophy" partner in the pursuit of aesthetics. 2. In fear of being emotionally wounded, going for a loyal partner who they perceive to have less options than them. These men like adoration and devotion in love. They want you to value their time and presence with your love and attention. They do tend to have options, as they easily command attention wherever they go. In its' highest vibration, they have a true lover with whom they can shine with by their side. But, their ego may be connected to the partner, which leaves them open to deep hurt if they are betrayed romantically.

7th house placements Yes, you attract many relationships, but you attract the ones you WANT when you have mastered 1st house qualities of self. (Identity and personal motivations that guide you)

Venus square Pluto In my personal experience, this can indicate stalkers/hidden enemies among female friends and women. SO much shade being thrown when you’re not around. There will be a feminine force of some kind that can’t stand your existence because they WANT your perceived worth (Venus). I have seen hairstyles copied, style stolen, & reputation assaults. This is dangerous because Pluto energy is obsessive and at its worst, someone could hate your guts with envy. More on this soon because I have so many horror stories.

Mercury in Leo is such a gift of a placement. With Leo defining the verbal persona and mentality of Mercury, this native can charm anyone. With the voice (mercury) in the sun, your thoughts bring literal warmth to all. They’re so easy-going and set a tone of comfort (sun) in their social spaces. They get the invites and they bring the vibes! Several of our recent presidents have this placement & it makes sense because these natives can communicate with your heart and soul! No matter how famous, they still seem like humble people and are often adored as visible leaders. Examples: Barack O., Kevin Hart, Selena Gomez, Andy Warhol.

Venus in the 8th Men are hiding SOMETHING. Possibly another relationship and possibly darker sexual tastes that were never explored. I know someone with this placement and he has literally cheated his entire life, NO CAP. He also had a preference for darker women, which seems very 8th house. The flip side to this is that he was put in a position by life where he had to depend on the women (Venus) in his life financially (shared resources, other people's funds). The SAME women he hurt... yikes.

Uranus is in retrograde beginning today, 9/1/2024 until 01/30/2025! Are you ready to radically transform? Check your Uranus placements in solar return & natal to see where this transit is specifically affecting you most. This is a time to reflect and redefine our approaches to freedom, individuality, and progress, both personally and as a collective. There can be revelations about yourself and your role in the larger context of society. Could this be the death of social media and celebrity idolization? Could this be an awakening of our people seeing how flawed and misleading our education systems are? How the CIA is yet again trying to socially condition us.. this time by way of pushing themselves into our social media apps and the washed-up film tropes? We shall see!

Mars in Capricorn I noticed that several of our favorite female child stars/actors have this placement. I believe there is a huge burden (Saturn) that’s placed upon these natives in regard to responsibility and the burdens of adulthood. These natives can feel or try to carry themselves as if they are much older than they are. The most classic case is Aaliyah! She literally married a man twice her age (Saturn) at 16. She was born in to a family of stars and thrust into the hands of male predators & the pressures of stardom. I think of Raven Symone, whose father put her to vigorous entertainment work as early as a toddler! She often speaks about not having a childhood or time to develop the self. Often blessed with a very natural sex appeal and exude a stoic energy. Others look up to them despite the fact their inner world could be burning. They rock trauma like a limited edition designer bag. They are role models even if young. They work tirelessly to prove themselves usually to an authoritative or male figure (Capricorn). ( father, uncle,, etc.) Attract much older suitors and may even prefer them. (Saturn) I think people forget how dark and depraved Capricorn mars can get. Verrry kinky.. Can be promiscuous at a point in life. (Examples: Aaliyah, Selena, Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore, Christina Aguilera).

Mars in Capricorn men can be quite cynical! Life has taught them to be no-nonsense and that is their energy with everything. However, I have noticed many of them can turn on the the “James Bond” archetype perfectly. Mr. Charismatic. These men are often natural male role models. This often allows them to not chase but rather attract others like a planet into their gravitational orbit. (Examples: Brad Pitt, Bob Marley {with his 12 kids, wife, and SEVERAL girlfriends lol}, Jake Gyllenhal, The Weeknd, Neymar, YG, Marlon Brando) However, they can be very crass in sex, especially if it's casual. They may even be addicts at one point, tirelessly seeking something more.

Venus in Libra man may be in the search of a Goddess. Similar to Virgo, with attention to detail.. They can take on an even more judgmental standard for their lover. In example, the Libra may care about the quality of the clothing you wear, how your hair is done, etc. I don't feel that they'll try to change you. It's more so that they gravitate towards the woman who seems to exude "femininity" in their eyes. I have noticed these men can be mother's boys. Libra is not favorable with the Father (sun), but it is excellent with the mother. Libra is a masculine sign in a feminine planet ruled by a Goddess, Ma'at. They may expect their lover to be their peace, their oasis away from the unbalanced world.

Mars in Pisces men are male sirens! Not talked about enough. They are so much wiser than they let on. Neptune blesses them with intuition and they are receptive to your energy. Often close with their sisters or other female family member and have built an understanding of women. Their charming but absent-minded, secretive, push & pull, nonchalant act is literally well-dressed manipulation lol. This is a Pisces theme, of course, with Neptune ruling illusion. However, Big Papi Jupiter has a hand in this too and that explorer energy gifts the Pisces placement with a rich inner world. Whether they choose to invite you to the depths is the question...Whether they choose to stay....

Mercury in Sagittarius how often are people visibly shocked by what you have to say? Indicator of being naturally blunt, may even have “foot in the mouth”. which is where you kind of spill the beans without meaning to or say the thing that kills the mood. LOL As a sag rising, I get it.

Venus in Cancer Men King of Cups energy. Venus and the moon are double feminine energies and these natives desire a person who embodies mothering energy or femininity. They desire a safe space, possibly seeking a wife and caretaker. At its best, this energy is compassionate and loving. But, in a man… this can get tricky. Thick: King of Cups reversed energy. They could seek a feminine figure to depend on and dump their feelings on. The claw energy can make these men VERY CLINGY and emotionally manipulative, especially if their Venus or moon is mal-afflicted. This can be quite overbearing for an unsuspecting lady. This man must ensure that he and his prospective lover is clear about his emotional expectations in the relationship.

Neptune in the 5th Rom Coms. Romantic novels. Day dreaming about their crushes. This native may indulge in fantasies about their ideal romantic dating scenarios. But, they may not know how to achieve this in real life. Additionally, friends and family may know very little about their dating life or on the flip side others can project their opinions on your relationship. Define your dating standards and never desert them or define your relationship and no one else's input will matter.

Mercury opposite Moon is such a tense aspect. Your heart is traveling North while your lips speak from the South. You either can’t find the words to express a feeling or feel ashamed of how you feel when you expect yourself to adhere to “logic”. It’s an extremely rough introspective journey with this aspect. These issues often stem from the nature of the relationship with the mother (moon). What she expected of you, may not have aligned with how you truly felt. Or she may have been easy to talk to but not very nurturing. This led to you disassociating with how you truly feel… long enough to nearly detach from it. I suggest journaling in the most raw fashion. How long have you been shutting down your feelings?

Jupiter in Libra may find their luck after marriage. I have a cousin who's life completely changed when they got married. This happened around their Saturn return as well. Within a year of marriage, this native purchased two homes, got an incredible job, and a beautiful baby. Their partner came with assets.

Venus in the 12th This native's love life can be very similar to still water… with currents rushing beneath. It's not far-fetched for hidden lovers or unfinished business to come out of nowhere while they've started something new. Those they love or who love them can dream of them. These natives can connect to your subconscious, wittingly or unwittingly. There can be secrets in the realm of love that leaves this person always choosing the wrong one. The giving, almost Jesus-like energy of this placement is a danger to those who aim to manipulate or drain them. Beware the JUDAS. Jealousy. Projections from both men and women are possible here.

Solar Return Observations🌞

🌞 Uranus in the 3rd: indicates a year that will require some serious resourceful thinking and lots of mental flexibility. Surprises in your immediate surroundings. There could be an introduction of knowledge that elevates your way of existing or spiritual vibration. Be open minded, even when things look rough… Uranus aims to propel you on your path!

🌞 Uranus in the 1st: Indicates a year of radically redefining self! Just when things appear gloomy and the sky is gray for miles… a bright bolt of Uranian light illuminates! Allow yourself to go with the flow on those “light bulb moments”. You are the main character. Pursue yourself. 💅🏾Allow yourself to let people know who you are and what you stand for. Be proud of your individuality! Unapologetically.

🌞 Venus in the 5th House: Honestly, I just want to ask if you’re having fun this year? This placement looks incredible on paper. Indicates Venusian blessings in the house of dating, hobbies, and fun! Sounds like an array of suitors, romantic dates, and lots of creative expression! Fun times.

🌞 Jupiter in the 9th: Go for that degree, online course, certification, etc. if it’s been on your mind! This is a great year for expanding your mind and perspective. Indicator of spiritual growth and even possible blessings with travel! Jupiter is expanding the 9th house of higher education, travel, religion, etc. If you have the chance to travel, take it. On another note, this could be a year of teaching others! Especially if you have been gaining expertise in something that you’re passionate about.

🌞 Pluto in the 8th: Metamorphosis type of year. Toxic relationships may come to a climax this year. Drastic changes in the financial situations whether positive or negative. Confronting your fears and any deep-seated trauma. There can be a lot of major changes and endings that beget new beginnings. That’s the positive! I think of this like a snake shedding is skin Pluto is in its domicile and it’s here to transform you into a more powerful soul.

🌞 Sun in the 4th: Emotional intelligence and security can be big factors. You may play a vital role in the life of a family member. Give in to the urge to nurture yourself, create a safe space, heal your emotional wounds, and spend time with those you love. Could also signify home improvements or finding a found-family after a time of feeling alone.

🌞 Mars in the 6th: Mars brings ambition and aggression to the 6th house. May feel the urge to girl boss up your health and self care regimens. Workout routine upgrade. Diet upgrade. It's giving gym babe vibes. On the other hand, this can bring some aggression into the work place, most likely as a reaction to you being more assertive and taking on leadership roles. Be mindful of what you spend energy on because you have powerful energy propelling you in daily duties or routines.

Thank you for reading!!

Victorian Railways S class

Builder's photo of S300 Matthew Flinders, 1928

The Victorian Railways S class was a class of pacific type express engines, built in 1928 for Victorian railways (VR). Only 4 where built and none of them survived. They where built when VR was at its most successful period of time. They were the final design of the VR's Chief Mechanical Engineer Alfred E Smith, The design was influenced by��Nigel Gresley's GNR A1 class.

The class was assigned the broad gauge leg of the Melbourne to Sydney, run for express passenger services. The class was the most prestigious class of locomotive that VR had until the early 1950s when diesel electric locomotives started to be used. They were the first pacific type locomotive that where ran by VR, as well as the first 3 cylinder locomotive type for VR. Known for their power and speed, in their first 10 years of service the time of the Sydney express service was reduced by 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The improvements to the service, the Sydney limited was replaced with the art deco streamliner the spirit of progress and the S class was fitted with streamlined casings to match the new set of carriages. They were equipped with long range tenders so that the 306.6km (190+1⁄2-mile) journey could be a non-stop run, making the service the fastest in Australia's for next 20 years.

The Spirit of Progress headed by S301 Sir Thomas Mitchell near Kilmore East in 1938

As the class only had 4, they were highly utilised, they annually ran up mileages double that of other classes and by 1954 had a combined total of approximately 9,200,000 km (5,700,000 miles). Their size and heavy axle load made the class unsuitable for regular service on any other lines that the north eastern line and in 1954 within the first 6 months of the B class diesel being on the spirit of progress roster by that April the S class had been all been withdrawn and scrapped.

The scrapping of the class was the catalyst for the rail preservation movement to lobby for the preservation of the remaining VR steam locomotives, which resulted in the establishment of the Australian railway historical society museum in williamstown north in the 1962. The numbers of the class where S300, S301, S302 and S303. S301 was the first scrapped in October 1953 and the S300 in September 1954. their names where S300: Matthew Flinders, S301: Sir Thomas Mitchell, S302: Edward Henty and S303: CJ La Trobe. they were named after prominent figures in early Victorian history.

Two of the four tender frames have been saved for preservation by the Newport Railway Museum and are currently used as workshop vehicles at the Newport Workshops. these are numbered VFGA3 & VFGA4. One tender frame and tank are stored by Steamrail Victoria. The fourth tender frame is owned by the Seymour Railway Heritage Centre, which now has had a tender body placed on it.

One of the S class locomotives' whistles survived and was fitted to the R class locomotive R707, the City of Melbourne, to recreate the sound of the original S class-hauled service. for the 50th Anniversary run of the Spirit of Progress on 14 November 1987, operated by the Australian Railway Historical Society.

Photo

While the days of the Empire gave us many Scots that are vilified not all sought to exploit or terrorise the Indigenous people.

Explorer, grazier and friend of Aboriginals, Tom Petrie was born in Edinburgh January 31st 1831.

Thomas Petrie arrived with his parents at Sydney in the Stirling Castle in October 1831 and moved with them to Moreton Bay in 1837. his father, Andrew, e was one of the Scottish mechanics brought to Sydney in 1831 by John Dunmore Lang as the nucleus of a new force of free workers

Educated by a convict clerk, he was allowed to mix freely with Aboriginal children. He learnt to speak the Brisbane tribal dialect (Turrabul) and was encouraged to share in all their activities. At 14 he was taken on the triennial walkabout to the feast at the Bunya Range. Accepted by the Aboriginals as a friend, he was in constant demand as a messenger or companion for exploration expeditions.

During journeys with his father he gathered a knowledge of surveying and bushcraft and an intimate acquaintance with the Brisbane district and its settlers. Petrie married Elizabeth Campbell in 1859 and shortly after the marriage, Petrie sought the advice of a local Aboriginal elder named Dalaipi for a good place to start a cattle station. Dalaipi’s son, Dal-ngang showed him their ancestral land at Mandin (North Pine River) and offered it to Petrie. Dal-ngang expressed indignation when told this land had already been acquired by the Griffens as part of the Whiteside station. Petrie, after consulting with Mrs Griffen bought a ten square mile section of the property in the Pine Creek district and named it Murrumba, an Aboriginal word meaning “good place”. Aboriginals helped him to clear his land and build his farm buildings.

When the Douglas ministry opened Queensland`s first Aboriginal reserve on Bribie Island in 1877, Petrie became its chief adviser and overseer. The experiment was terminated next year by Palmer largely because Petrie`s report on Aboriginal attitudes and activities was not encouraging. He played little part in politics but was a foundation member of both the Caboolture and Redcliffe divisional boards and for years returning officer for Moreton electorate.

Thomas Petrie died on August 26th 1910, the same year the name of the North Pine district was changed to Petrie in his honour and the next year a free-stone monument was erected in the township.

While Thomas Petrie may have only spent his very early years in Scotland, I would think the ethos instilled in him by his parents no doubt put him in good stead for the good man he became.

The Long Way Euround – Day 6: Bombala to Sydney

Today was the final day of our big Classic Mercedes Road trip. We started at 6:15AM in Bombala where it was 2 degrees outside. We were down to 9 cars, as one of our drivers had some unexpected work commitments that came up, so had to leave his car in Melbourne.

We stayed in the pub in Bombala. I generally only book places that have private bathrooms, so I must have missed that it didn't. Having said that he rooms were very nice and the food was great. The bed was the most comfortable of the trip.

As we drove out of Bombala, the sun was rising over the Monaro region. The sunrise illustrated the high country landscape and the farms along the route. The road was great and the cars were running well.

Originally we planned to drive to Bredbo, but we decided to refuel in Cooma instead. This worked out well, as while Bredbo has a pie shop, it does not seem to have a service station. In Cooma, we filled up all the cars and had breakfast at McDonalds. After all the troubles I had with my car the day before, it was going very well. I was getting occasional noise from my rear left wheel when turning, but none of the previous issue. The noise was also different. The noise led me to believe that its probably not a wheel bearing issue. I suspect part of the handbrake mechanism, perhaps that little spring, has come loose. It is probably moving around as I corner and the ends of the lug nuts are scraping against it. A few people were very keen to get home by dinner time, and one of our group had a flight to catch, so we had fewer and shorter breaks today to move along. Everyone was keep to complete the full route then be home for dinner. We continued north, through the outskirts of Canberra and then up through Gunning and Crookwell. Crookwell was our lunch stop, at another Bakery. The lamb pie was the best I've had all trip and the Vanilla slice was good, although a little too much icing for my liking. The road from Crookwell up to Georges Plain was excellent, full of long sweeping curves, elevation changes and great scenery. The only downside was that there were many caravans on the road, and a Nissan Patrol that couldn't climb hills. One of the guys is interested in buying a 280CE, so had a turn of the white car during this section and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was around here that the 380SEC started playing up more. So far it had only given issues while idling. However, on multiple occasions it cut out while at road speed. Most of the time it would restart while coasting in neutral, but not always. Luckily there was not much traffic on the road. As we passed through Perthville, we saw a 450SLC for sale by the side of the road. One of the guys went back to have a look it it, and it was in a sorry state. Rust in the firewall, chassis rails, holes in the floor and more. It was a D-Jet car and a sad way for an early 450SLC to go. I suspect its destiny is a wrecking yard like the one we saw on Saturday. After a good drive though to Lake Lyell, we all went our separate ways. A couple of us refueled in Lithgow, and then took Bells Line of road back. I hate the Great Western Highway with a passion, so Bells line was the obvious choice. It was very foggy, but the traffic was light and it was a fairly relaxed cruise home the back way. After I rolled into the garage, I checked my odometer and I had travelled 3,883km in 6 days. My 450SLC is now almost at 318,000km. I have a few things to attend to. Obviously the noise from the wheel, whatever it is. The A/C, and the starter motor has started playing up, not always engaging. All the cars and drivers made it back home safely. Overall, the trip was great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great break from work and we saw a lot of Australia I have never seen before.

Climate Crisis Impacts Insect Colors and Reproduction, Study Reveals

A darker-colored ambush bug is better at snagging a mate than its brighter counterpart when it is chilly. Darker males can warm up more quickly in the early mornings, allowing them to become active while others are still warming up. This is just one example of how temperature affects insect coloring and their ability to mate, as highlighted in a new review article published in the journal Ecology and Evolution. However, scientists are still trying to determine how human-induced climate change, which is raising temperatures to unprecedented levels, will impact insects' reproductive behaviors. “On one hand, we might think insects are adapting to climate change, so we don’t have to worry about them,” said Mariella Herberstein, a behavioral ecologist at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and one of the study’s authors. “But then we could realize they might struggle to find each other because they’ve lost important identification colors necessary for mating.” The prevailing theory among scientists, according to Herberstein, is that as temperatures rise, insects tend to produce less melanin pigment, resulting in lighter and brighter colors. Darker objects absorb more heat and warm up faster, while lighter objects reflect more heat and stay cooler longer. For example, the wing colors of Mead’s sulphur butterflies in North America have lightened over time as temperatures increased, according to a 2016 study. From the 1980s to the 2000s, the two-spotted ladybug became less likely to be black with red spots, shifting to red with black spots. Similarly, the dark spots on the subarctic leaf beetle's back have decreased with warmer springs. However, Herberstein’s team found that the pattern is not always straightforward. A follow-up study on Mead’s sulphur butterflies, examining over 800 specimens collected between 1953 and 2013, showed that in some areas, their pale yellow wings actually became darker over time. Additionally, one species of walking stick insect and one species of planthopper became greener and darker as temperatures increased, according to a 2018 study. “The mechanism isn’t so clear-cut – it’s confusing,” said Md Tangigul Haque, a PhD student at Macquarie University and one of the study’s authors. This complexity may be due to the limited data available and the similarity of studies focusing on similar insects in similar locations. Moreover, melanin has functions beyond heat absorption, including roles in immunological defenses and protection against ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Color also plays a crucial role in attracting mates, camouflaging from predators or prey, and helping individuals of a species recognize each other. Rising temperatures could alter these functions. “If we’re affecting their reproduction, we’re seriously impacting their population viability,” said Herberstein. “It is just one of those pieces that we need to figure out.” Understanding this issue could be key to determining how insects might cope with climate change, according to Michael Moore, an integrative biologist at the University of Colorado Denver. Moore, who was not involved in the latest research, observed in 2021 that male dragonflies were losing their wing color patterns in hotter climates, and he is investigating whether this affects their ability to find mates. “One thing that really stands out to me is that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all rule,” said Moore. “We have a lot more work to do – we haven’t solved this one yet.” Read the full article
