Hey guys. I'd picked up "Red One" at the movie theaters from today's program trip. Went I came out of it, It definitely feels like an "Marvel" film for Christmas with the action moments and Dwayne Johnson. I thought it was a pretty decent film; just not an all blowout Christmas movie of the year. At least I had some fun watching it on my behalf. Also, I had a Buncha Crunch snack and soda after paying at the movies. Sure would’ve bring more money for the popcorn so I mixed it up with my Buncha Crunch snack. Next time probably? 🤷‍♂️

(Also, no “On This Day” throwback post for today.)

On October 10, 02:17 PM —

On October 11, 8:32 PM EST, Pluto stations direct at 29º of Capricorn, inaugurating the final chapter of this transit. Just a few weeks after returning to the sign, Pluto prepares to complete his long journey through Capricorn, which started in 2008.

For people with natal placements in Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), particularly in the late degrees, this event holds deep significance. Pluto’s shift of motion is wrapping up a 16-year-long evolutionary journey filled with karmic lessons and opportunities for radical transformation. Individuals with strong Cardinal influence now have an opportunity to look back at how they changed and what they learned, recognize what is coming to an end in their lives, and pay attention to how they are now required to transform.

Pluto: Evolution, the Unconscious, Destruction, and Regeneration

In Astrology, Pluto represents the force of evolution, the unconscious, and the darkest aspects of life. The modern ruler of Scorpio, Pluto is the symbol of the deepest transformational processes and the endless cycles of destruction and regeneration, the dance of life, death, and rebirth. Pluto pushes us to confront the darkest truths about ourselves and life, face our deepest fears, acknowledge our hidden motives, and recognize the unconscious ways we rely on to generate security and get our needs met. Named after the Lord of the Underworld, this planet has a lot to do with shadow work and psychological self-exploration, power and control dynamics, as well as crises and upheavals.

Pluto needs 248 years to travel through the Zodiac and, because of his irregular orbit, transits longer in certain signs than in others. Roughly, he spends between 12 and 30 years in a sign, exposing the shadows associated with it. Pluto’s transits catalyze a radical deconstruction of our relationship with the archetypes associated with each sign and force us to evolve in specific ways as a collective. Because of their length, Pluto transits mark generational cycles and specific evolutionary themes and psychological struggles of each generation. Nevertheless, they also impact us in profound ways on a personal level, both because of their influence on the historical times we live in and for their interaction with our own natal chart.

Pluto in Capricorn: End of A Cycle

Capricorn is the last one of the Earth signs: for this reason, it is connected to mastery of the world of form, of the space-time reality and its boundaries, as well as to mastery of the self and self-responsibility.

As an archetype, Capricorn is associated with both internal and external authority, tradition, hierarchies, established systems and institutions, social rules and social order, aging, elders, and father figures. Capricorn has to do with the process of conditioning and the internalization of norms of conduct imposed upon us from the outside world.

Through Capricorn, we learn to develop a connection with our inner authority, create structures that last through time, commit to taking full responsibility for our lives, and become aware of how past conditioning still impacts us in the present.

During Pluto’s journey through Capricorn, our relationship with this archetype has completely transformed, both on a personal and a collective level. Globally, our relationship with governments, authorities, and institutions has changed dramatically. Since 2008, abuses of power, corruption, and lack of integrity within established systems have been ruthlessly revealed and exposed. Attempts to exert more control over the population have been taking place as those in power struggle to maintain control while collective trust in long-standing hierarchies, structures, and systems is crumbling.

As Pluto completes his journey through Capricorn, we are witnessing the culmination of immense societal, global, financial, and political shifts. This final phase of the transit is all about dismantling systems that no longer serve us to create space for new ones. It is about letting go of our reliance on structures that once served us but are no longer conducive to our growth.

Final Chapter

When Pluto is retrograde, his energy is internalized and the focus goes on inner transformation, introspection, and shadow work. When planets change motion after being retrograde, energy becomes available again for direct action and forward motion: we are invited to take conscious action and start moving forward according to how our awareness shifted during the retrograde. As Pluto stations direct in Capricorn, we are entering a phase of integration of the experiences we have had, a phase of readjustment and recalibration according to how we changed inwardly.

Every planet that stations direct invites us to make changes in our external reality that reflect how we have inwardly transformed. With Pluto stationing direct, the pace of events accelerates and the momentum builds. This is a time to act on the realizations and shifts that occurred during the retrograde, and there is a sense of urgency about it as we are experiencing the final moments of the Pluto in Capricorn chapter of our lives, a transit that we won’t experience again in this lifetime.

Pluto direct at 29º Capricorn: Crises and Opportunities

Pluto has been travelling over the 29º of Capricorn since he came back into the sign, on September 1, and remains on that same degree until he enters Aquarius again on November 19. The activation of this degree increases the sense of urgency, the feeling of crisis, and the feeling of impending change. The 29º of any sign, also referred to as the “anaretic degree” marks the transition from one level of evolution to the next and is considered to be a point of both crises and opportunities.

When the 29º is activated, events and situations tend to get to an extreme, to a breaking point, to call our attention and force change. At this time, we can’t continue to sweep issues under the rug, we can’t perpetuate familiar dysfunctions, we can’t deal with uncomfortable situations as we have always done because the old coping strategies no longer work. We are going through a collective transition, a collective shift in consciousness.

Aquarius is the first transpersonal archetype of the Zodiac and, for this reason, this transition is a particularly delicate one: Pluto is moving from an Earth sign, very much concerned with matter, form, and the past, to an Air sign, extremely future-oriented and drawn to innovate and revolutionize reality for the sake of collective progress. The transition from Capricorn to Aquarius requires us to make a quantum leap and explore completely new ways of dealing with long-standing issues.

November 19th, 2024

Today I had to go to the town I went to university in for an appointment and it felt so nostalgic. I miss the freedom of uni days. And I miss university and academic work. Unfortunately, it's much harder than I thought to keep engaging with academic texts once you no longer have to. It was something I loved but due to my workload and personal responsibilities I did not open a scientific paper since my defense. Another thing I have to add to my 'should do' list. Next to trying the yoga videos you recommended.

[phobic-human]

Today 11/1/2024 is the seventieth anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of 1 November 1954 and beginning of the Algerian War of Independence.

The Algerian war was a landmark decolonization war. Algeria had been colonized in the mid 19th century by the French, between 500,000 and 1,000,000 Algerians were killed out of 3 million. The following decades continued with brutal oppression, Algeria was unique because it was legally classified as an integral part of France

The aftermath of the Second World War provided a unique situation. The imperial powers had fought themselves to exhaustion, suddenly formely colonized nation's were able to rise up and begin to cast off the imperial yoke.

The conflict between The National Liberation Front (FLN) and France was incredibly violent. France responded to the revolt with extreme brutality and repression, utilizing mass killings, torture, and concentration camps 8,000 villages were destroyed and between 500,000 and 1.5 million Algerians were killed. Ultimately the Algerian people prevailed and won independence in 1962. The Algerian War is an important reminder of the horrors of colonialism and the valiant struggle for freedom.

I highly recommend A Dying Colonialism by Frantz Fanon as an excellent look into the Algerian struggle. Fanon once said "having a gun is the only chance you still have of giving a meaning to your death." These words ring especially true today for all people's engaged in a decolonization struggle.

May the independence struggle of the heroic Algerian people never be forgotten.

Long live Algeria

Drabble masterlist here (fics under 1k words) <3

⁂ Azriel ⁂

→ Multi-Part Series/Oneshots

∙ Of Oblivious Minds (Part I)

You're positive Azriel is in love with Elain. It seems so obvious. But Cassian is laughing at you and suddenly nothing makes quite so much sense anymore.

Part II, Part III, Part IV

∙ If It All Fell (Series Masterlist)

If it all fell apart—if you forgot who you were—would you love him again? Would the bond guide you back? Azriel doesn't know if that uncertainty is one he can bear.

∙ Compliments to the Line Cook

Azriel never goes for any of the girls on staff. Cassian can't figure out why—and it's pissing him off. (Modern AU, Line Cook!Azriel)

∙ Favoritism Azriel always seems to be working. Well, not always. Sometimes he's on the phone outside the restaurant with a massive smile on his face. (Modern AU, Line Cook!Azriel) ∙ Lessons in Care Azriel loves you so much. Even though you can't cook. You're trying though. (Modern AU, Line Cook!Azriel) ∙ Colds and Retold Confessions Azriel would never be one to not take care of his girl when she's sick. That doesn't mean he won't make her blush. (Modern AU, Line Cook!Azriel)

∙ Trial and Error (Part I)

Based on the request: "Azriel with single mom reader? I feel like being a single mom in ACOTAR would be tricky as hell… reader comes from autumn court and flees to night court because she got pregnant out of marriage? 😯 the shame"

Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V -> Part V Bonus, Part VI

∙ If You Cared to Ask

Azriel hasn't been listening. You got hurt. Sometimes, an argument can't be boiled down to just one instance.

Part II

∙Fable (Series Masterlist)

Watching in silence was all you had ever done. And silence was fine, it was safe. But with silence came consequences, and with consequences came hard truths.

→ Standalone Oneshots

∙ Only in Dreams

In his dreams, Azriel recounts how he got to his mate.

∙ Reversal

When protecting your mate brings out a side you swore to keep hidden, you have to deal with the consequences.

∙ Set in Stone

The Court of Nightmares is an evil place. Secret agendas, forced marriages, malicious intent; there’s nothing good or pure. But then Azriel finds you.

∙All Over Again

You're drunk. Your mate is trying to get you home. Only problem is—you're really, really drunk.

∙ By the Book

Azriel is struggling to catch the attention of his mate. Cassian offers him some advice, but "putting the moves on you" is harder than it seems, especially since he's not a character in one of Nesta's novels.

∙ To Feel At Home

Winnowing out from Under the Mountain, you know you need to find him��it doesn't seem real, to feel so at home.

∙ A Promise

As war inches closer on the horizon, Azriel reminds you of a promise you made to him—one you aren't sure you can keep.

⁂ Cassian ⁂

∙ R&R

Cassian was tired and you were taking forever to get your ass back home.

∙ The Construct of Loyalty

After months of "disobedience," your father calls upon Cassian to be your personal guard. That leaves Cassian, a soldier in the Night Court army, your childhood friend, and a man deeply in love with you, to protect you from all fronts—including the arranged marriage you were born into.
