#Mutable afflictions

[cosmicplexus]

Random Astrology Observations

♤Gemini Venus/Mars tend to romantically stick around for longer to people who are mutable in nature in terms of interests, beliefs etc.

♤Cancer Mars' men ideals on building a family may be deeply rooted in breeding fantasies.

♤Leo,Gemini and Sagittarius Mercuries are some of the most hilarious people you'll ever meet and can lighten up the room with a few words.

♤Capricorn Moons with Cancer or Pisces personal placements especially Venus or Mars tend to be conflicted by their overly compassionate side and their more stern and rigid side.

♤Cancer Moon, Venus & Mars men tend to be more into older women that somewhat reminds them of a maternal figure in their life.

♡Aquarius Venus are some of the least superficial people you'll ever meet in terms of the "attractiveness politics" especially if there are no afflictions in chart.

♤Virgo placements especially Moon and Venus may be deeply fond of you, but if you don't appeal to their practical side that fondness may amount to nothing.

♤It can be hard to know if a Leo Venus truly likes you as they often are just enjoying the attention you give them.

♤There's no such thing as a Scorpio, Virgo or Capricorn Venus man being confused about someone. Those people almost always know what they want.

♤Mars making strong aspects to Jupiter in natal chart is a common aspect in polyamorous men.

Random Astrology Observations

If you have Mercury/2H/3H in Cancer, people find it soothing/comforting to listen to you talk or talk to you

If you have an afflicted Venus, you probably find it difficult to stay in relationships/have sustained romantic interests

People with Sun square Moon almost always come from homes where their parents hated each other.

People often befriend others whose luminaries belong to the same modalities as theirs (ex: Aries, cancer, libra, capricorn are all cardinal signs,,, Gemini/Virgo/sag/Pisces are all mutable signs,, Leo/aqua/Taurus/Scorpio are all fixed signs)

Mercury conjunct Mars natives tend to be very argumentative/combative speakers. They are contrarians and often disliked for their lack of charisma

Most people who have been married more than once have an afflicted Moon/Venus

Geminis often have gut health/digestive issues

Scorpios struggle with sleep disorders

Water signs in general (esp Scorpios) love to stay hidden/tend to be very very lowkey, esp on social media

The most bookish people I know have earth sign placements

Moon in 4h people have difficult relationships with their mothers

Men with Venus in Sag are absolute freak$$

Venus conjunct luminaries makes natives struggle with perfectionism

Earth signs have a natural sense of fairness & justice

Water signs are definitely into trance, electronic, free form, house & psychedelic music

Common placements for famous serial killers- 31

A lot of serial killers and sociopaths tend to have multiple Retrogrades In their chart (usually atleast 3) especially mercury and Jupiter.

The largest amount of serial killers were born in November

Usually has a mutable sun/moon combo (PISCES, Gemini, SAG, Virgo)

Tend to have either 8th house, 7th house or 4th house stelliums (sometimes 3rd as well)

They tend to have either fire or fixed rising signs. Most common being Scorpio or Taurus

Aquarius moons they tend to lack empathy and not be in touch with their emotional side. This emotional detachment can result in ASPD when not nurtured correctly (Charles Manson)

Usually have a very afflicted 4th house. Most commons 4th house placements I see is Pluto in the 4th, Uranus in the 4th or Lilith in the 4th

Most common moon signs are either in PISCES or SAG!

Sun/Saturn: usually a very self restricting energy, leads to insecurity and lack of self. People also denied them their self expression and acceptance in society.

Moon/Pluto aspects usually dealt with extreme emotions & normally an intense relationship with the mother. Mother could’ve been a narcissist or very controlling. Usually grew up in pretty intense environments

Moon in Aries tend to have very intense explosive emotions that can’t always be controlled. Can lead to making impulse decisions without much thought of consequences

Signs that serial killers have the least of tend to be Libra, Capricorn, Cancer and Leo

Many have a Sun aspect Venus which can help with the superficial charm most have

A lot have grand squares in their chart showing constant tension in their life

If you have any of these don’t worry lol this was just an observation from comparing top serial killers charts!

welp, I continue to learn about the world and the people in it by means of violence and murder 😢

Knight Artorias continues to be one of my absolute favorite boss fights

"victim of the Abyss" is the sexiest description one can read on a soul in this entire game by far

decided midway through fighting him that I wanted to go for a no-healing kill, mostly to prolong the experience and see if I could, and: success!! I can and did!

Music For the Soul by Alexander Maclaren

God's Answer to the Soul's Cry

"Who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good." – 1 Peter 3:13

Did you ever notice that there are two dwelling-places spoken of in the 91st Psalm?

"Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation," "There shall no plague come nigh thy dwelling "; or, literally translated, as in the Revised Version, "a tent " - a particular kind of abode. The same word, "habitation," is employed in the 90th Psalm - "dwelling-place." Beside that venerable and ancient abode that has stood fresh, strong, incorruptible, and unaffected by the lapse of millenniums, there stands the little transitory canvas tent in which our earthly lives are spent. We have two dwelling-places. By the body we are brought into connection with this frail, evanescent, illusory outer world, and we try to make our homes out of shifting cloud-wrack, and dream that we can compel mutability to become immutable, that we may dwell secure. We need a better dwelling-place than earth and that which holds to earth. We have God Himself for our true Home. Never mind what becomes of the tent as long as the mansion stands firm. Do not let us be saddened, though we know that it is canvas, and that the walls will soon rot and must some day be folded up and borne away, if we have the Rock of Ages for our dwelling-place.

But the wide scope and the paradoxical completeness of the promise itself, instead of being a difficulty, point the way to its true interpretation. " There shall no plague come nigh thy dwelling" - and yet we are smitten down by all the woes that afflict humanity. "No evil shall befall thee" - and yet" all the ills that flesh is heir to" are dealt out sometimes with a more liberal hand to them who abide in God than to them who dwell only in the tent upon earth. What then? Is God true, or is He not? Did this Psalmist mean to promise the very questionable blessing of escape from all the good of the discipline of sorrow? Is it true, in the unconditional sense in which it is often asserted, that "prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament, and adversity of the New"? I think not; and I am sure that this Psalmist, when he said " there shall no evil befall thee, nor any plague come nigh thy dwelling," was thinking exactly the same thing which Paul had in his mind when he said, "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose. " If I make God my Refuge, I shall get something a great deal better than escape from outward sorrow - namely, an amulet which will turn the outward sorrow into joy. The bitter water will still be given me to drink, but it will be filtered water, out of which God will strain all the poison, though He still leaves plenty of the bitterness in it; for bitterness is a tonic. The evil that is in the evil will be taken out of it, in the measure in which we make God our Refuge, and "all will be right that seems most wrong" when we recognise it to be " His sweet will." Nothing can be" evil " which knits me more closely to God; and whatever tempest drives me to His breast, though all the four winds of the heavens strove on the surface of the sea, it will be better for me than calm weather that entices me to stray farther away from Him.

2023 Leo Disseminating Moon

Saturday, December 30, 23:51 UT, 24°00’ Leo

The key phrases for the Disseminating lunar phase are “teach, share, communicate;” and “ease up on efforts with our intentions.”

There’s a grand trine in fire signs: Moon/Leo, Mercury Rx and Mars in Sagittarius, Eris Rx ans the North Node in Aries. I foresee a ton of very loud and very dramatic whining about how shitty 2023 was to us personally! Not my idea of how to bid adieu to another calendar year, but hey, whatever floats your boat….

We may also become a little competitive about who had it worse, thanks to Mars. Some people are like that - for them, life is a race to the bottom, and they must be in the lead.

Unrelated: there has begun several weeks’ worth of a big mutable problem. Because of how slowly they move, there’s a long-lived t-square between Neptune/Pisces, Vesta Rx/Gemini, and and about-to-retrograde Juno/Virgo. Turning off and on sexually; finding that nothing is ever perfect enough for us; the ancient “madonna/whore” complex inflicted at women - all possible. We’ll have to reckon with this to February 2024.

The various faster-moving thingies moving through late Sagittarius turn the whole mess into a mutable grand cross: Mercury Rx (and direct) and Mars right now, soon to be joined by Ceres, and (later in January) Venus.

Mutable sign afflictions mean a new situation or challenge is manifesting; it’s our task to meet the challenge before it gets worse. In The Book of Air, astrologer Steven Forrest says that the strengths of the mutable grand cross are adaptability, responsiveness, and flexibility - “the ability to tweak strategies in the face of shifting realities” - that sure sounds like Neptune. There is also “the early recognition of the need to let go, to ‘die’ in some sense of the word, and simply to move on.”

If this configuration is setting you off - important placements between 20° and 29° of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, &/or Pisces - lean hard on that placement’s flexibility and adaptability - and use those signs’ relative lack of sentimentality to recognize where we need to let go and move on.

rusi's gender is "haha, yeah man, for sure!" and they have and will do shots of fantasia for fun. it makes their body kind of mutable- easily subject to shape-changing spells and status afflictions, but they return from those just as easily, and sometimes their body will look a little different from the last time someone saw them, but he's always Recognizable as rusi'a

[inundatae]

@oneireth continued from here.

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 between memory and water. Both so shapeless and mutable, containing within mysteries often beyond that of mortal comprehension. He’s delved through the depths beneath the tide and held within himself the memories of a thousand, thousand souls.

Such memories and emotions slip away in time – water through his fingers, but his own memories remain, changed by that brief melding of past and present. “Forgive me, I misspoke.” How does one take issue in remembering too much? All the while bearing vital gaps within his recollection of a time from before. “Please do not trouble yourself in devising a remedy, I doubt any such treatment exists for this particular affliction.” If it could be considered as such, when the memories that have slipped away is a consequence of the natural cycle of this world.

“There exists a sentiment within Fontaine, or rather what could be considered simple truth: water contains our strongest emotions and with it our memories. Unsurprising, when there is an undeniable link between both. Those bearing a certain affinity are thus capable of experiencing moments once lost.” He crosses his arms, gaze down cast while lost in thought. “I have often wondered at the possibility of retrieving  those lost memories.”

[contextualstudiesblog]

Photographing is essentially an act of non-intervention… the act of photographing is more than passive observing. Like sexual voyeurism, it is a way of at least tacitly, often explicitly, encouraging whatever is going on to keep on happening. To take a picture is to have an interest in things as they are, in the status quo remaining unchanged (at least for as long as it takes to get a “good” picture), to be in complicity with whatever makes a subject interesting, worth photographing—including, when that is the interest, another person’s pain or misfortune.” (Page 8-9)

Sontag focuses on the role of the photographer and how they interact with their subjects. It is a passive act to photograph someone without imposing one’s presence on them, but at the same time the act in itself means that the photographer wants to get involved and to, perhaps, impress the western public, who is usually the addressee of the final pictures.

Photographers are not silent witnesses, they overstep in someone’s life and try to portray them as the face of the suffering country. This is not done with ill intent, on the contrary they want to bring awareness, but sometimes the action of taking the photo is done without seeing the person behind the lens as a human being, focusing instead on the emotionally and aesthetically striking photo that would come out.

For example, the photographer Steve McCury took a picture of an afghan girl called Shabbat Gula many years ago, she stares intently at the camera, but her eyes communicate shock and trauma. The stabbing stare of the now known “Afghan girl” became so popular that it put her in danger and she had to be evacuated to Italy from Pakistan, where she was an illegal refugee. In an interview the woman said that the photo was taken and published without her consent and that it brought onto her great shame because "it is not welcome for a girl of traditional Pashtun culture to reveal her face, share space, make eye contact and be photographed by a man who does not belong to her family."

“Most subjects photographed are, just by virtue of being photographed, touched with pathos. An ugly or grotesque subject may be moving because it has been dignified by the attention of the photographer. A beautiful subject can be the object of rueful feelings, because it has aged or decayed or no longer exists. All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability” ( Page 11)

Even though the pictures carry a deep sense of despair and sorrow, they are very intimate, as the photographer invades the privacy of the subject to have a seemingly genuine shot. The more vulnerable the person is, the more effective and moving the outcome will be. The aim is to pierce the conscience of the watcher by showing such impactful pictures. Sontag nevertheless points out that because of the media and newspapers, we are exposed daily to images of pain and affliction, which means that their effect will eventually wear off. (Page 32)

Sometimes it seems that only the most heartbreaking and disturbing images are going to be published, and that’s why reporters and war photographers not only photograph the cruelty of events but try to make it as aesthetically suggestive as possible. Therefore their purpose is to raise awareness and rouse the public interest on war injustices. In “On Photography” Sontag specifies that these injustices are the one in which politics is interested, and it’s rather unusual to see photos of conflicts which are not in the public domain. In the text two equally tremendous wars are compared, the Vietnamese and Korean War, from the former originated some of the most influential war photographs of all time, but from the latter nothing seems to come to mind.

The impactful images that we see in the newspaper are a product of what we choose to care about and that’s completely detached from the original purpose of war photography.

“No one brought back photographs of daily life in Pyongyang, to show that the enemy had a human face, as Felix Greene and Marc Riboud brought back photographs of Hanoi” (Page 13-12)

ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS- 10

Hey yall, these are the asks that you sent in via my askbox, and I've incorporated them into one astrology observation.

SOLAR RETURN NOTES: ☆Pluto in the 1st house in the Solar return chart, can show a change in the way you dress and can even mean a glowup. During this time, you may also face your fears. Example:if you're scared of driving, you may take driving lessons. ☆Saturn transiting the 1st house/ in the 1st house of your solar return chart can make you think about getting tattoos, or you can actually get them. This is because Saturn rules ink and the 1st house represents one's physical body. ☆Venus transiting the 6th/in the 6th house of your solar return chart can make you lazier to complete your day to day tasks. Or you can just be really relaxed and chill, your work schedule may not be as hectic and your tasks are easier to complete. This is because 6th house rules over your daily routine. ☆Solar Return Sun in the 5th house can mean that you'll be very confident that year. Making new friends and socializing could be taking centre stage in your life. You may also practice your hobbies more often.

NATAL PLACEMENTS: ☆Neptune in 0⁰ can mean that you are a sensitive, or are really psychic person. This is because the 0⁰ allows a planets energy to flow freely and this can make that planets themes more prominent in your life. ☆Chiron in the 6th house can show laziness in general. This is especially if Chiron is afflicted. But if it has harmonious aspects, it can mean that you are a hard worker. ☆Moon in the 1st house can dress according to their mood/how confident they are feeling on a particular day. This is cause Moon represents moods(emotions) while 1st house shows how we present ourselves to others. ☆Mutable ascendant (Gemini, Saggitarius, Virgo, Pisces) change their aesthetic often and they often change their dress style. They can change their whole persona depending on the person they are talking to. ☆Mercury/Uranus in the 1st house can get outfit inspiration from what's 'trendy' or their fashion sense can be influenced by what they see online. This is because Mercury/Uranus represents the internet and the 1st house is how we present ourselves (or how we dress). ☆Mercury in Scorpio/Scorpio degrees/8th house like to make people uncomfortable with what they say. They are very blunt and vulgar. This is because Scorpio represents the 'taboo' while Mercury shows how we communicate. ☆Gemini in the 10th house could change their career choices often. Others' impressions of you tend to change a lot. You may also be gossiped about. ☆Gemini in the 12th house can show that your enemies talk about you quite a lot. You're a hot topic amongst your haters. This is because the 12th house shows your hidden  enemies, while Gemini shows communication. ☆Aquarius in the 11th house can mean that when you are famous, you may use your platform to educate and bring awareness to social issues in the community. Celebrity examples: Rihanna, Martin Luther King Jr. etc. This is because Aquarius stands for all of humanity and equality. ☆Aries risings often give off 'balanced' vibes, these people always seem to know what they are doing. They may even seem to be perfect. This is because everything in their chart is where it's 'supposed' to be. Like Aries in the 1st, Taurus in the 2nd etc etc ☆Virgo in the 3rd house are very eloquent, and they construct their sentences clearly. Their voices can also be light and airy. This is because Virgo can show 'organization/perfection' and 3rd house is how we relay messages to others (how we talk/communicate) ☆Idk if I said this already, but people with Mercury in the first house often have short/mid-length hair. These people may also look good with pixie-cuts/Afros/bobs. ☆Cancer in the 12th house can be emotional when drunk. This is because Cancer represents emotions and the 12th house is ruled by Neptune which rules alcohol.

☆Where your Mercury is placed can show what you frequently think about: -Mercury in the 1st: you may  think about about your interests, and you may enjoy telling others about yourself. -Mercury in the 2nd: you may talk about money quite a bit. 'If I were rich I'd....' You also like to think of ways to spoil yourself and make more money. -Mercury in the 3rd: you like to spread fun facts, and also talk about the new things that you've learnt. You may often think about your siblings/ cousins. -Mercury in the 4th: you can clearly express yourself around your family. You can also talk about real estate often, or you like imagining how your future house would look. You may think about how it would be like having kids.  -Mercury in the 5th: you like talking to new people and you enjoy socializing. You could also talk about your art (if you make any) or you enjoy talking about your hobbies. You may be constantly coming up with new ideas relating to your hobbies. -Mercury in the 6th: you probably like to talk about ur job. You could also like talking about your future/daily plans. You may often think about your health too. -Mercury in the 7th: you probably (pretty frequently) think about what it would be like to be in love, you also prolly read FS pacs (I see u👀). If you've got a partner, they prolly live rent free in your mind💕😌. -Mercury in the 8th: you like to think about how you can transform urself (whether it be clothing style to the way u think).

-Mercury in the 9th: you could think about your spiritual journey/your God or religion quite a bit. You could also like talking about your university/college. -Mercury in the 10th: you may often think abt what you want to do in the future (career-wise). You may also think about your reputation, and the first impressions u make.

Mercury in the 11th: you often think about your friends. You may also think about the injustices of the world (rasicm, misogyny, domestic abuse, climate change, global warming etc etc). - Mercury in the 12th:  you can think about what haunts you from your past (as 12th house rules the subconscious mind). You also may think about the secrets that you keep from others (whether those secrets are urs or not). Your thoughts also manifest into your reality. 

☆The stereotype towards Gemini sun's is just so true. You can enjoy talking/communication with others as Mercury rules communication and the Sun is your true personality. Depending on whether it's afflicted or not. ☆Mars in Leo/ Mars trine/sextile Sun can mean you get praise and recognition from doing what you're passionate about, whether it involves your job, hobbies etc.   This is because Mars represents passion, while Leo represents pride and fame. ☆Jupiter in Retrograde can make you overconfident and arrogant, depending on what house Jupiter is in. Example: in the 1st house you may appear to  be arrogant to others, in the 2nd house you could over- spend and brag about your material possessions etc. ☆ Pluto in Scorpio celebrities tend to have a very committed and LARGE fan base. But their fan bases can attack and criticize them just as easily. Celebrity examples: Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande. ☆Scorpio risings can have dark hair and can actually be quite small in size (can be short or slim). This because Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Pluto is a dwarf ‘planet’ (take this with a grain of salt, other aspects to the ascendant and genetics also influence one's appearance). ☆With Capricorn Moon, your mother and father could be quite close (if positively aspected.) Or they might not get along (if negatively aspected). This is because Capricorn represents the father and Moon represents the mother. You could also have a strong emotional bond with your father as well. ☆ Mercury square Pluto can make others misunderstand your words. Others may also be quite offended when you share your opinions, even if you don't actively try to offend others. ☆Saturn in the 3rd house can mean that you sometimes have problems breathing normally. This is because Saturn represents restrictions, and the 3rd house rules the lungs. You may also have a respiratory illness. ☆During Mercury Retrograde, the way that you communicate may often be misunderstood by others, people may get offended by your words, you may get into more arguments etc. Especially if you have a Gemini/Virgo Mercury. ☆Jupiter in the 7th house people may get remarried or they may have a lot of exes (playyerrrs😼). This is because the 7th house is the house of marriage/union, and Jupiter expands the themes of whatever house it's in. This is an underrated player placement.

Hope it resonated.

Astrology Notes...

~4th house Gemini makes for someone who develops family-like bonds in friendships.

~taurus risings tend to be possessive due to the influence of their scorpio 7th house.

~pluto at angular houses 1st, 7th, 4th and 10th is a huge indicator of someone who has had intense experiences in the respective key areas of life and there's spiritual lessons to be learnt regarding that area through transformation.

~libra venus placements may find it really hard to stay single

~7° and 19° venus or moon signs may struggle with the theme of physical perfection and wanting to attain it.

~virgo moons have a tendency of creating problems if they don't have any current ones to solve

~capricorn risings really do look older in their younger days and younger when they're older.

~moon and neptune in 1st house natives may give off the perception that they need saving and may attract people with a martyrdom complex.

~sagittarius, 9th house, 9° and 21° mercuries may have an affinity to music in foreign languages while cancer, 4th house, 4°,16°,28° may enjoy music in their mother tongue

~jupiter in 2nd house and 10th house is heavy lotto winner vibes. Literally and figuratively.

~mercury in 2nd house and at Taurean degrees(2°,14° and 26°) are the born singers

~the 22nd degree is an underrated fame degree...I have a bey's🐝 fame analysis I've been sitting on for a while. That's a conversation for another day.

~pisces venus and mars are the most romantic people in the world which makes me kind of believe the astrology theory of neptune being the higher frequency of venus.

~leo moons really take their hair seriously and may feel out of loop if their hair is not well done.

~want to easily impress a cancer mars man??? Sing praises to your mom. Be dotting around kids.

~girls with 9th house, 9° and 21° Venus are so magically beautiful. Abundance of beauty.

~To a decent degree, liberation of women in society came at the expense of gemini, sagittarius and aquarius venus women being slut-shamed(This is not at all saying other women did not contribute to the liberation of women 🌻✨ That's a conversation for another day)

~neptune plays a huge role in beauty trends and that's why neptune dominant women are usually the beauty influencers which explains why beauty standards are mutable and ever changing.

~jupiter in 7th house can go two ways... extreme luck in meaningful relationships or someone who never has serious relationships and is forever on the look...

~pisces/12th house mercuries and mercury afflicted by neptune are often under fire for being the liars when the real culprit is the sagittarius/9th house mercuries and mercury-jupiter hard aspects.

~I personally view the north node as a jupiter variant. While the general consensus is that it is the purpose we're working for, I do believe that it's also an indicator of our birthrights, innate gifts and where we're lucky.

Astro Observations Part 7 🏵

By lunar liyah

A lot of Aries placements/mars dominate people are into entrepreneurship. They will only work for themselves.

They’re good at executing a project or business. These people may or may not be the best at coming up with the most effective and creative ideas, but they’re the people who get the ball rolling. They don’t overthink. They don’t sit on plans. They just start. That’s what it takes to be a strong entrepreneur at that. Not the most creative or innovative, someone who is brave enough to just start. It works for them because they are the sign of impulse so sometimes planning and being strategic is not necessary.

Sagittarius risings do great in any social setting.

Venus ruled men make great actors. Two of my favorite actors are Michael Rainy jr and Demetrius Flenory jr.

The charisma and charm (Taurus) it takes to play a role and being able to relate and portray the characters on the script. (Libra)

7h sun/Libra moon people love love. They want a relationship. These could be people who date to marry. Not the people who date for experiences. They are most likely in it for the long run.

Sagittarius sun women are extraordinary. These women have HUGE personalities. I’ve never met an introverted, closed off, dull, etc sagittarius women. Shout out to y’all! Y’all my fav! So unapologetic, keep that <3!

Mutable dominate individuals can a lot have conflicted feelings or thoughts. These people can feel confused a lot, their mind really goes a mile a minute.

Pluto sag generation are true truth seekers and rebellious. You see how upset sag gen gets previous generations. They love to call sag gen sensitive!

Mutable Risings can look like 20 different people lol. But no, these people could make a slight change in appearance and look completely different. Plus they tend to change their look often too. Kim K for example (Sagittarius rising)

Sidereal Pisces are more Pisces like than actual Pisces. What I mean is that a lot of Aries sun people in tropical Astrology love escapism like drinking or other vices similar to that. A lot of Aries women do have this soft/sensual touch to their personality. These people in love…I really don’t even have to explain.

Summer Walker, the singer, is a sidereal Pisces sun, her music is about love, loosing herself in love, and being with people she shouldn’t be with, that selflessness! That’s Pisces energy that can manifest.

Ari Lennox, the singer, is also a Pisces sidereal sun, she loves wine and she is very sensual. Her voice is soft (like Summer’s too) and majority of her music is about love.

Not to mention, these people (Tropical Aries sun) seem soo mutable. Like yes they’re fast paced, like a typical Aries, but it seems like they can fit in anywhere. They’re very good at fitting in, if the sun, moon, mercury is not afflicted.

Uranus aspects and Aquarius placements that aren’t so good at fitting in. In fact, that’s their whole brand, not fitting in and to stand out. Mainly aspects to the moon and Aquarius moon and mercury. They aren’t the people to change up in a crowd to blend in like a chamaeleon. Even if they tried, probably could never pull it off. And they will be perceived as very weird. More weird than usual. And others can definitely tell.

Chiron aspecting the sun, yes even oppositions, can manifest a very violent and sadistic person. Check the charts of criminals and you’ll see Chiron all up in the chart if it’s not aspecting the sun, it’s definitely somewhere.

Libra risings get away with a lot. They could be clearly terrible at something but still be liked and sometimes even favored. Kind of like the relationship between a caregiver and a younger child/sibling, they mess up, they get a pass. Venus trine ascendent too.

Squares in a chart are “aggressive”. They are what I look at first, when looking at someone’s aspects. They tend to be more likely to manifest in my opinion. Next to conjunctions.

9 degrees mars makes someone vindictive. Or just very much the type of people that don’t take disrespect very well, to put it in other words. These people can loose control of self/emotions.

8h moon mothers can be the most controlling people. Especially money wise. These people, if they don’t have the actual information to access your money, they’ll definitely find ways to make you either spend money on them or give them money. Yes, their own kids. They can exploit their kids basically and unfortunately.

Taurus risings tend to have stallion bodies. Yes sag is the sign of the man/horse figure. But Taurus is the sign of the bull, which tend to be built. And active as well. A lot of Taurus risings I know and come across, has n a t r u a l l y built bodies.

If you’re are looking to owning a business and running it through social media especially or you want to be a social media content creator... Look into planetary hours in your area. And post during the sun or mars hour :) watch your business get a lot of traction. (Will do a separate post on this) :*

Scorpio Venus people seem like they want praise for being private sometimes. They’re the type of people to say constantly words or phrases like “I keep my business to myself” “I live a private life” “I don’t post much on social media” “I’m not into *insert a social gathering*, I’d rather be at home”

Also, Scorpio placements are homebodies. They love to stay home. In their little scorpion shell. With Taurus on their axis .. this makes sense.

Surprisingly, Pisces Venus are quite flirtatious. Yet they seem very shy and reserved. These people love to ‘shoot their shot’. They’re very confident in that area of attraction. If they want it, they go get it, precisely though. Very calculated, never tasteless.

Gemini Venus people are calculated as well when flirting. But in a different way.. These people can make nerdy jokes just to get the person to laugh. These people are good at it too, never corny. Also these people love to laugh.

Naomi Campbell, for example her flirtatious remarks and responses to the interviewer are never aggressive and super straightforward. Instead they’re rather charming and friendly.

Sagittarius MC or Jupiter aspecting Midheaven can make someone excel in their career when they travel. I mean large traveling too, from country to country.

Rihanna has a big hand in her own country, Barbados. And it drew more attention than she already had as a women to go down in history for the huge roles she obtained in Barbados. She has a lot of Jupiter influence in her chart.

Aquarius mercury dress in a lot of colors. They dress more ‘Aquarius’ like than actual Aquarius sun and ascendent placements.

Moon opposing the sun placement in a chart can make that person see divorce or separations between parents. Sun reps the father. Moon reps the mother. Or they themselves could pick and choose which parent they gravitate towards more. These people could feel a disconnect to their father figure.

Capricorn Chiron could feel insecure, if their financial state is not going well. As if their confidence relies on their career and money. These people could isolate until they’re back on track/on top of their money again.

Virgo placements love to support small businesses. They’ll look into small businesses before looking into big companies to invest their money to.

Libra moon people do not know how to cut people off. They couldn’t ghost if they wanted to.They rather wait until the relationship just dies or low key wants the other person to initiate the relationship ending so they can stop pretending.

Cancer moons on the other hand, tuh, they’ll gladly show you or anyone how it’s done, to cut someone off. People get cancer placements (excluding cancer venus, it takes a while actually) misconstrued. These people especially with air placements, are the master/head honcho’s of leaving someone cold and dry with no explanation, when they come to their sense’s that this person isn’t to be trusted.

Along with the infamous, Scorpio placements. These people are super intuitive and does not come out of that shell very often, if they do and you remind them of that reason why they don’t, they’ll leave fast. And early on too, like I said they can tell when a persons intentions aren’t what they seem to be.

Back to the previous observation, Libra placements love acting. They love movies and binge watching series.

Hannah Montana was definitely a Leo moon, Pisces sun, and Sagittarius rising. The whole character change and people believing it, *mutable ascendent things*and her family actually being from the south. The star power she had and being an entertainer, *Leo moon things*, and being a hopeless romantic person all in all… *Pisces sun things* … I would add a libra mars, being able to stay in that act she portrays as Hannah Montana. That takes libra skills and drive to do that for her career.

Aquarius placements love anime. The originality of it. The creativity of it. Yeah, it’s up their alley.

Pisces, libra, gemini placements, along w 7h placements, are the r e a l fashion girls. They set the tone for the trends in the near future. The things they wear now, will not be worn by them anymore but worn by the majority then.

｡ﾟ•┈ astrology observations ┈•ﾟ｡

｡ﾟ ✧ people with their chart ruler in their 12th house tend to be the most introverted (example: pisces rising with neptune in the 12th, virgo rising with mercury in the 12th)

｡ﾟ✧ water moons often like the idea of romance and being loved and being in love more than being in an actual relationship itself

｡ﾟ✧ the sign of our mars and eros (433) show what we're attracted to, but their degree is often how we approach that attraction (for example: someone with eros in libra but in the aries degree (1, 13, 25) might be attracted to soft people but have a more aggressive approach themself)

｡ﾟ✧ people with venus or neptune harshly aspecting the ascendant (square or opposition) tend to be dancers or are very interested in any type of performing arts

｡ﾟ✧ people with jupiter in the cancer or taurus degrees (2, 4, 14, 16, 26, 28) tend to be emotional overeaters and associate food with comfort

｡ﾟ✧ the house where asteroid nessus (7066) is also represents where we feel like we're constantly treated unfairly and have to give more than we receive (example: nessus in the 11th feels like they're treated unfairly in friendships, nessus in the 1st feels like they're being treated unfairly when first meeting someone etc.)

｡ﾟ✧ people with the moon in the 1st house usually can't hide their emotions or are very bad at it, even if the moon is in a usually secretive sign

｡ﾟ✧ combust planets (planets very close to / conjunct the sun) usually represent something we struggle with because our ego gets the best of us. (example: a combust venus lets their ego and pride ruin their relationships, a combust mercury needs to win most arguments and can't stay quiet — the closer the planet to the sun the more prominent it is)

a badly aspected rising sign can often point to what you struggle with health-wise even more than the 6th house (for example an afflicted taurus rising will often have neck issues, an afflicted pisces rising will have feet issues or UTIs often)

｡ﾟ✧ people with personal planets (especially sun or mercury) in pisces or virgo in the first decan usually have the most developed intuition but also have the ability to use their logic and common sense as well

｡ﾟ✧ having an aspect pattern (grand trine, grand cross etc.) in your solar return represents a year where you'll go through the most changes

｡ﾟ✧ mercury in air (especially libra and aquarius) prefer to communicate through text and are a lot more social online than in real life

｡ﾟ✧ people who have the midheaven in mutable signs (sagittarius, pisces, virgo, gemini) are often influencers or liked or well-known on social media

｡ﾟ✧ your draconic rising sign can often show the type of person you wish you were (for example a draconic capricorn rising would wish they were more determined and organized, a draconic gemini rising would wish they were more social etc.)

｡ﾟ✧ celebrities or famous people who have their midheaven in the third decan (20-29 degrees) are often more remembered and appreciated after their death

｡ﾟ✧ we often have an intense and unexplainable relationship with someone who has the moon or mars in our 12th house

｡ﾟ✧ mercury transiting our 8th house often bears the most lessons and its also a time when we often pick up new hobbies / obsessions / interests

｡ﾟ✧ cardinal risings (aries, libra, capricorn, cancer) are actually the type to actually be completely different when they're alone vs. when they're with other people and they often feel like no one understands them

｡ﾟ✧ we tend to be unexplainably attracted to signs of our moon and mars degrees even if we're "incompatible" with them when it comes to other placements

｡ﾟ✧ transit jupiter and/or uranus forming an opposition or conjunction with our sun or midheaven tend to be our "luckiest" times and where we feel like our life is different than it normally is

Your soulmate is not someone that comes into your life peacefully. It is someone who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality, somebody that marks a before and after in your life. It is not the human being everyone has idealized but an ordinary person, who manages to revolutionize your world in a second.”

Music for The Soul by Alexander MacLaren

God's Answer to the Soul's Cry

"Who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good." – 1 Peter 3:13

Did you ever notice that there are two dwelling places spoken of in the 91st Psalm?" Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation," " There shall no plague come nigh thy dwelling "; or, literally translated, as in the Revised Version, " a tent " - a particular kind of abode. The same word, "habitation," is employed in the 90th Psalm - "dwelling-place." Beside that venerable and ancient abode that has stood fresh, strong, incorruptible, and unaffected by the lapse of millenniums, there stands the little transitory canvas tent in which our earthly lives are spent. We have two dwelling-places. By the body we are brought into connection with this frail, evanescent, illusory outer world, and we try to make our homes out of shifting cloud-wrack, and dream that we can compel mutability to become immutable, that we may dwell secure. We need a better dwelling-place than earth and that which holds to earth. We have God Himself for our true Home. Never mind what becomes of the tent as long as the mansion stands firm. Do not let us be saddened, though we know that it is canvas, and that the walls will soon rot and must some day be folded up and borne away, if we have the Rock of Ages for our dwelling-place.

But the wide scope and the paradoxical completeness of the promise itself, instead of being a difficulty, point the way to its true interpretation. " There shall no plague come nigh thy dwelling" - and yet we are smitten down by all the woes that afflict humanity. "No evil shall befall thee" - and yet " all the ills that flesh is heir to" are dealt out sometimes with a more liberal hand to them who abide in God than to them who dwell only in the tent upon earth. What then? Is God true, or is He not? Did this Psalmist mean to promise the very questionable blessing of escape from all the good of the discipline of sorrow? Is it true, in the unconditional sense in which it is often asserted, that "prosperity is the blessing of the Old Testament, and adversity of the New "? I think not; and I am sure that this Psalmist, when he said " there shall no evil befall thee, nor any plague come nigh thy dwelling," was thinking exactly the same thing which Paul had in his mind when he said, "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to His purpose. " If I make God my Refuge, I shall get something a great deal better than escape from outward sorrow - namely, an amulet which will turn the outward sorrow into joy. The bitter water will still be given me to drink, but it will be filtered water, out of which God will strain all the poison, though He still leaves plenty of the bitterness in it; for bitterness is a tonic. The evil that is in the evil will be taken out of it, in the measure in which we make God our Refuge, and "all will be right that seems most wrong" when we recognize it to be " His sweet will." Nothing can be " evil " which knits me more closely to God; and whatever tempest drives me to His breast, though all the four winds of the heavens strove on the surface of the sea, it will be better for me than calm weather that entices me to stray farther away from Him.

Bad Aspects Part 2 - Modality

Previously: Introduction

One of the first astrology books I bought, back in 1979, was Astrology A Cosmic Science by Isabel Hickey. Her spiritual approach to the topic was unusual for that time: the majority of what was available, then, was of the fated, fatalistic, “tall dark stranger” style. Not that that viewpoint is absent from her work! However, Isabel always lets us know that we aren’t at the mercy of our stars - that we can overcome everything in our charts, if we’re prepared to work for it.

Here is her take on the different modalities - cardinal, fixed, mutable - as they express themselves through “hard” aspects:

Squares and oppositions in Cardinal signs are faults and unlearned lessons of the previous life. They can be changed by constructive action and, if handled rightly, will not manifest as fixed signs at a later time.

Adverse aspects in fixed signs represent the harmful effects of self-will. These aspects are the hardest with which to deal for they represent the lessons we have failed to learn over many lifetimes, and are deeply ingrained patterns of behavior. They need a great deal of attention and self-discipline in order to divert the energy channels into constructive ones.

Squares and oppositions in mutable signs are the easiest to handle for they are just beginning to manifest. They can be handled by the right attitudes of mind.

In reading aspects always note whether they are in cardinal, fixed, or mutable signs. The cardinal afflictions are debts from the past lifetime that must be changed through Action. The fixed signs, depts deeply ingrained over many lifetimes, must be changed through the giving up of self will. The mutable sign afflictions are faults beginning to manifest through wrong patterns of thinking in this lifetime. These afflictions are the easiest to redeem.

The mutable afflictions are tied with the respiratory system. Breath and thinking are tied together. Afflictions in Gemini affect the lungs; Sagittarius rules the hips and represents the power to move forward. Virgo afflictions give difficulties with  assimilation in the physical body, and in the psychological field, lack of ability to assimilate experience. Pisces rules the feet in the physical body and this part of the body represents our understanding. Those who lack spirit show it in their walk.

Cardinal sign afflictions are caused by wrong action. Afflictions in these signs affect the body through growths, tumors, kidney troubles, and digestive difficulties.

Fixed sign afflictions affect the body through circulation, heart conditions, and diseases that crystallize the body as in polio or paralysis. The body is the end terminal for difficulties. If our difficulties are handled on the mental and emotional levels they need never manifest on the physical level. The individual who goes the way of the Higher Self saves himself a great deal of pain and suffering.

_______________

Using this method, something as ostensibly lightweight as Moon square Mercury is going to be very, very problematic when it occurs in fixed signs. And conversely, something along the lines of last year’s Saturn/Sagittarius square Neptune/Pisces (mutable signs) isn’t quite as dreadful as it would have been in cardinal signs (1945) or fixed signs (1962). Which square is “worse” to your way of thinking?

Volunteering my own information, as perhaps an incentive to get you all thinking about your own charts, and then sharing…?! Just knowing what’s involved, and the modalities, we can pick up a ton of useful information.

Sun/Gemini opposite Saturn Rx/Sagittarius, mutable signs This is, according to Isabel, the easiest to handle of the three aspects I’m (over)sharing. What could the “wrong patterns of thinking” involve? Saturn things, and since this is an opposition: authorities, patriarchs, old people - all of whom can be anathema to a lighthearted, sprightly Gemini such as myself. Given the nature of the Sun and Saturn, the “problem” started via my relationship (opposition) with my original patriarchal authority, dear old Dad. (Who had an out-of-sign Sun-Saturn conjunction.) He tended to “take over” and dominate everything I became interested in. I am sure that this is where I learned to be evasive and noncommittal (Gemini) about expressing my life purpose and direction (Sun). I was not only fearful of earning parental disapproval (Saturn/Sagittarius) - after all, he beat up my brothers - but I wanted to live my own life my own way, so why didn’t he just butt out?!?

Moon/Aries opposite Jupiter Rx/Libra, cardinal signs A cardinal opposition means it’s something I didn’t face in the previous life, which works through other people. “We meet ourselves as we once were on the path of life but we don’t recognize ourselves” per Isabel - and, let me add, we don’t like it! Particular people are, for the Moon, my mom of course, and women in general; with Jupiter, we think of in-laws, religious people, the popular kids, and so forth. Isabel says this opposition bestows “arrogance and extravagance;” I think it also adds an element of mistrust and bad faith - I never believe people are going to have anything to do with me, if they get a better offer. Which introduces snobbery and class consciousness! I have snubbed and given the cut direct; now I am snubbed and given the cut direct.

Venus/Taurus square Uranus/Leo, fixed signs This is an issue of long-standing (fixed signs) and indicates “an innate difficulty in the individual” (square, per Isabel). My Uranus/Leo generation loathes being lumped in with everybody else (which is why we typically overreact via #NotAll mode), while people with Venus/Taurus want to be comfortably, conventionally conformist. This is going to provoke situations (square) which are unconventional, unexpected, and unusual (Uranus), and which demolish my comfort zone (Venus). I’ve read that Venus-Uranus people have these wacky, bizarre romantic relationships with “taboo” types in order to disguise the fact that they don’t want to be in any relationship at all, ever. I’ve clearly got issues about protecting at all costs my personal individuality, integrity, and autonomy!

Incidentally, this square express itself via my Venusian artistic pursuits, too - and we now see, therefore, how this classically-trained oboist ended up so utterly in the thrall of Keith Richards. An example of doing/getting a square right?

This June I turn 60, Heaven help me - and these decades of perspective help me to write good-humoredly (I hope) about my serious character flaws. I remember reading about these aspects at 21, however, and that at the time I felt trapped. This is (or seems to be) changing; astrologers are less fatalistic and more likely to suggest ways to work with, around, or through the difficulties.

One approach is to take the two entities involved and “pretend” they’re a flowing aspect, that they’re working well together. “How would it look if they were sextile or trine?” I can take note of Sun opposite Saturn, for example, and work on being supportive of others without dominating and domineering over them. I also can study all my relationships with Saturn and Capricorn types, because I know I have something important to learn from them. Both of those are “mutable” approaches to the opposition, with an emphasis on using my brains (Gemini) in a moral (Sagittarius) way.

I would go after that square a little differently, though. Perhaps you noticed it’s a waning, last-quarter, “turning away from” square? That needs a much different approach than a waxing, first-quarter, “taking action” square. And that’s next on our agenda. Thanks for reading, and send in your thoughts and questions!
