Random Astrology Observation

Hi guys! Thank you so much for liking my recent post about Midheaven. I was absolutely shocked and blown away when I see the number of notes in the first 12 hours (more than 100 notes). This time, I'm going to do something different. I'm going to make an astrology observation about random placements from any natal chart. I didn't prepare anything, I'm just going to describe those placements that will come to my mind first, haha lol. This observation may apply to the western astrology only. Also, this will be a general observation, so take only what resonates with you. Hope it's going to makes sense, at least.

Natives who have multiple planets in the angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) are meant to be leaders at some point. They might have such a strong presence and naturally attract other people because of their strong and natural charisma. Every angular house describes the most important things and events in our life.

1st house represents someone's personality, body and overall life.

4th house represents home, childhood and someone's private life.

7th house represents marriage, other people and our partner's life.

10th house represents career path and someone's professional life.

For a couple of months, I have realized that I eat very poorly and less than I have ever eaten for years. Sometimes I basically skip breakfast. It's become clear to me why this happens to me when I did look at the transits and saw that transit Saturn is currently in Pisces sign and it's sitting in my natal 2nd house of food, eating and throat. Saturn is all about restrictions and struggles and I don't have that capacity to eat the huge amount of food like I used to do. And it's not that I'm big, I'm naturally skinny actually.

South Node is related to spirituality, detachment and our comfort zone. When someone's personal planet or point, especially Sun, Moon or Rising, conjuncts your natal South Node, this may be a person who you naturally hang out with. You might feel comfortable with this type of person, but you may suddenly lose or break contact with this person like that is meant to happen. That is because South Node is a karmic planet and you should learn some lessons from your past life while interacting with person whose natal Sun/Moon/Rising conjuncts your natal South Node.

I could be called out for this statement, but I find Lilith a little bit overrated here on Tumblr and on every other social platforms (especially on Instagram and Twitter/X). Since I started following some astrology accounts here, I've been hearing about Lilith and other asteroids like they're something special. Don't get me wrong, I do think that Lilith does represent the sexual and dark side of us and that it can be accurate, but I also think that we already have Pluto for this (and Mars and Saturn too, 'cause they're all dark planets). My opinion is that people rely a little bit too much on asteroids here. When I look at someone's natal chart, I usually look the positions of the planets and I get enough clarity on someone's life and behavior. I use asteroids too, but that's the last thing I look on someone's natal chart.

Since I switched a house system from a Placidus to a Whole Sign, I have understood my own natal chart with the Whole Sign system clearer than before I used Placidus system. I'm not saying that the Placidus is bad and less accurate, but from my experience, that house system has always been confusing to me. When I switched to the Whole Sign system, I could understand my natal chart better and everything just 'clicked' to me. Whole Sign just makes more sense to me, I don't know about you and others.

I used to use both traditional and modern planetary rulers for each sign and house, but now I'm starting to realize that is enough to use only the traditional ones. I'll still use planets from Sun to Pluto while analyzing someone's natal chart, but when it comes to the rulers of the signs and houses, I'll use only planets from Sun to Saturn. The reason why is because I've concluded that the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) move too slow and it takes several years to change their signs. But regardless, I'll still say that these outer planets are co-rulers in modern tropical/western astrology, but I won't use them in practice anymore until I change my mind, which happens quite often, hahaha.

In traditional tropical astrology, Saturn rules over the Capricorn and Aquarius, Jupiter rules over the Sagittarius and Pisces and Mars rules over the Aries and Scorpio. But in modern tropical astrology, Aquarius is co-ruled by Uranus, Pisces is co-ruled by Neptune and Scorpio is co-ruled by Pluto. Use whatever it resonates more to you. I don't force you to think like me, that's not my goal at all.

Thank you for reading this observation and supporting my work. You can ask me what do you want me to do next if you have any ideas. Wish you all had a wonderful day ahead.

Best regards,

Paky McGee

Thinking about how in Vedic astrology, Mars definitively rules both birth and death because it is understood that these are two sides of the same coin, all part of the chthonic cycle, the different modes of transference between life as we understand it and that which exists beyond it, which is why it's always our gateway to the outer planets

Whereas in contemporary Western astrology, we've taken the outer planets and assigned a whole new object the domain and powers of death, trying to force a distinction between experiences of passion, anger, and the body (by giving Mars rulership over Aries and the 1st house), and the realities of sex, violence, and death (by assigning Pluto rulership over Scorpio and the 8th house)

THE SEVENTH HOUSE IN ASTROLOGY: ITS RULER IN YOUR CHART

The ruler of your seventh house in a different house tells you a lot about your relationship. The seventh house rules all types of relationships, not just romantic.

Please note, these are pointers to help you understand. These are not total explanations. The whole is greater than the parts. That means the whole chart needs to be taken into consideration. The planet, also says more. We shall look at two almost similar charts for comparison and examples. See the end of this article about the two charts, yes I do offer astrology readings here.

In the first house it shows your relationships playing a huge part in your identity. The first house opposes the 7th, so this shows conflict and opposition. You have to grow as a person so that the relationships you are in both professionally, family, friendship, as a parent, as a sibling, as a relative as a partner etc, do not be a bad picture about you. For instance people who are known to be people pleasers and also those people known to always fight with everyone. Another group is people who suddenly become a new person with each relationship, like a shape shifter.People who have committed identity theft and also those who have taken a partners criminal charges, tend to have this placement.

In the second house means your values strongly influence your relationships. Overly religious people, red pillers and podcast bros plus their followers, are explained by this. Unless Gemini is the sign in the seventh or second house, then the above applies. However, with those placements, this is someone who goes about embodying other peoples values so that they can fit in and be accepted.

In the third house this shows communication styles. You speak to people the way you speak too yourself and you may find yourself heavily preoccupied with dissecting what was said to you and what you want to say to others because you either don't care(Aries) or you don’t want to hurt anyone.

In the fourth house shows someone looking for home in everyone.

In the fifth house shows over extending yourself.

In your sixth house shows being unable to navigate relationships, being unavailable or people pleasing. Pushing everything out of your schedule to be over accommodating. The type of person who worries that if they do not show up for people, something bad will happen. Relax, they will be okay without you.

In your seventh house shows taking all relationships seriously and not being willing to let go.

In the eighth house shows someone seeing relationships as transactional where they keep taking from people. This does not come out point blank as someone always borrowing, this is also someone seeing themselves as a charity case and just depending on everyone around them.

In the ninth house shows relationships with smarter people(usually more educated) and also from different cultures. Foreign relationships.

In the tenth house shows relationships being very terms and conditions. Very conditional love. If there is an aspect to the first house,this also shows very conditional love to yourself.

In the eleventh house shows a lot of online friends. This is someone with success under anonymous accounts. Great ghost writers. Great writers with pen names. A community person on the ground. These type of people tend to be very different offline and online. Very different people at home and outside. Yes, this is an indicator of abusive people.

In the twelfth house is people that gravitate towards cults and performative spirituality. So easy to be scammed, so easy to be dragged into dangerous spiritual, psychological and ‘mindfulness’ practices. Finds belonging and peace in lies and manipulation. They lie to themselves more than they lie to others. For instance, believing you have a cryptic pregnancy and you gave birth yet you never did at all. Theres a documentary in Nigeria on that. Also when very Michelle Phan.

These two charts below seem similar. (Birth time 12.11pm and 9.11pm on December 19th 2024, Nairobi, Kenya.)

However they aren't. They belong to people born on the same day, same location but different times. One is a Pisces rising and the other is a Leo rising. The Pisces rising has Virgo in their 7H which makes Mercury the ruler of their 7th House(Mercury rules Virgo). The Leo rising has Aquarius in their 7H which makes Saturn the ruler of their 7H(Saturn rules Aquarius in traditional Astrology, which I'm using here).

As mentioned, you also need to take into consideration the planet. In this case, Mercury rules communication and the mind amongst other things. Mercury is also trickster energy. Saturn rules hard work or doing things the hard way, responsibility, rewards and punishments amongst other things.

So for a start, the Pisces rising will view relationships with trust issues and scepticism. They will try to tricked before they are tricked and always believe someone is out to get them. They may also have a tendency to view relationships as transactional such that the relationship ends once the transaction ends.

For the Leo rising, they may view relationships as hard work. That they have to take their time with relationships and also, be very professional with relationships. Now, this particular placement has an aspect to their 1H. Remember when we mentioned the 10H? That part also applies here because Leo rules the heart and Saturn rules the 10H. Because Leo's have a hard time setting boundaries and seeing people for who they are in the beginning plus also pacing themselves in relationships, they punish themselves for failed relationships even if they were the victims in these relationships. Be it abusive caregivers, siblings, lovers, work places etc. When Leo risings pace themselves with all relationships, they get fulfilling relationships.

Now for the Pisces rising, Mercury is in the 10H. This means that for this Pisces, amidst all the trust issues and dog eat dog society they view all relationships as, they find it very hard to make and even maintain relationships. 9 times out of 10, they actually are the problem. Because they actually went out of their way to be horrible to genuine people since they never even sat down to know the person.

For the Leo rising, Saturn is in their 8H. This shows an individual who is ALWAYS in debt because of their relationships. It also indicates parasocial relationships. This particular person, never gets anything good out of relationships they have not taken their time in. Whether it's the workplace, family, school, and even with the local shopkeeper. In romance, these are the ones who allow others to misuse them sexually. Because they have very conditional love for themselves, they are actually a danger to themselves when a relationship of any type "screws them over". When they do pace themselves with relationships, then they do get rewards. A successful dominatrix could have this placement especially if they also had the moon in their 8H. This is also a great placement for someone who studies human behaviour and offers such services and makes money out of them.

Let me know if you have any questions. You can book an astrology reading with me here. Merry Christmas 2024 and a happy New Year 2025.

“robb was a bad ruler” it’s almost like he was a sixteen year old kid going through troubles and he’s not ready or trained to rule and this is a key touchstone that martin has talked about before with his infamous quote that “ruling is hard” - it's not enough to be a good person, same thing with jon and dany

I'm not sure if you're simply concurring with my opinion on Robb or if you think you are telling me brand new information.

Though, genuinely, Robb was trained to rule. He was too young to apply his training credibly, but he was Ned's heir and he was utterly trained to rule. That was the point of his education.

It's just that personal rulership is inherently flawed, and Robb especially was stuck in the role of upholding the worst aspects of a horrible system, because he was the epitome of privilege within it.

Jon was flawed in his communication but managed to invest in probably stable structures beyond his own person. He was serving an institution and a long-term goal less than being ruler for the sake of rulership.

Dany... sorry, but she's not a good person. She's young enough to believe herself to be, but she wouldn't be ruling anything at all if she was. Good persons don't burn their slaves alive for blood magic.

I lean towards thinking that Paul was right to take leadership over the Fremen and then take power over the Empire, and Chani's wish for Fremen indepence but continuing isolation on Arrakis is misplaced.

Spice - because it allows safe interstellar travel - is too important to the Empire to let Arrakis go. If the Harkonnen's fail, other Houses will try and will continue to try. So if Arrakis cannot be left alone and independent, giving the Fremen a place in the power structure of the Empire is preferable to continued war and supression.

However, this might have also been achievable if Paul merely insisted with the other Great Houses that the Emperor abdicated and he is recognized as the Duke of Arrakis; the Houses could then have chosen a new compromise Emperor together. But we do not know if the other Houses would have accepted that or if they would have tried to conquer Arrakis for themselves - that would have resulted in the Holy War anyways.

(Also, the fact that House Harkonnen was tolerated by the Emperor while House Atreides was marked for destruction because they had a "weak heart" may mean that the galaxy lives under more misery than necessary and Fremen rule could change things for the better. Unfortunately we don't see enough of this world to really know.)

Hour of the Wolf: Wolf Full Moon in Cancer

Hour of the Wolf: Wolf Full Moon in Cancer

Welcome to the first Full Moon of 2025 Today begins the 3 day lunar cycle in the Sign of Cancer(Jan 13-16). Known as a Wolf moon, it gets its name from the Native Americans noting that during the winter, wolves would howl outside their villages.

The Moon is concerned with needs like food, security, and emotional support. As the planet responsible for mothering, emotional balance and the home environment, its chief focus is the nature and care of ones being and any offspring.

The Moon, considered a planet for astrological purposes, will be in its Rulership. In astrology, when a planet moves through a sign it influences or its “Rulership”, it strengthens the effects that one encounters with that sign. With the Moon’s entry into Cancer, you may require more food, have a stronger need to be in a comfortable, familiar environment or seek avoidance of demanding emotional situations.

Cancers are the nurturers and caregivers of the Zodiac. A highly intuitive sign, Cancers can be very psychic and prescient. At their best, Cancers are adaptive, dependable and caring. At their worse, they are moody, smothering and possessive.

This Cancer Full Moon would be a good time for reexamine existing plans and preparations for oneself and one’s family. Because the Moon is in its Rulership, this would be an ideal time to seek consultation through divinations or psychic readings as such energies being greatly enhanced. The only caveat is the intensity of this transit and the current retrograde make such efforts emotional and intensive so be sure you are ready for such insights.

You are urged to deal with this transit by engaging in calming, grounding activities, striving for patience and centering. Full moons lend their waxing energies to endeavors and activities, making this a good times to reevaluate businesses proposals, projects and emotional commitments. Because of the doubling effect of the Moon, strive for detachment and flexibility in such matters. The winter season may limit the initial success of some activities, so choose you commitments wisely.

Cancer, it might be helpful, at this time, to dwell upon some of the things you hope to accomplish this year, using this intuition and feelings to help determine which paths will best serve you. Let the transit aid you in determining what matters most.

Capricorn, the demands of this Moon will ask you to explore your feelings with regards to your needs. What ambitions, efforts and requirement will best serve you and which will not? Let the next two days give an indication of what you should work upon into the days ahead. Libra and Aries, addressing some matter you’ve overlooked or neglected may play an important part of the next few weeks. As you seek to discern those particular concerns, secure that which strengthens and reinforces you.

As the Wolf Full Moon treads winters pathways, seek and find that which feeds you. In the compass of this Cancer Full moon, may all you require be secured and preserved.

🕯Mercury in Astrology

Information is from Chris Brennan's video on The Astrology Podcast YouTube channel on the topic of Mercury significations <3

Mercury: writing, speech, words, message, reign, translation, conveying, transmitting, information, interpretations, numbers, analysis, reasoning, details, dialogue, exchange, money, businesses, contracts, commerce, negotiating, indecision, disputation, questioning, doubts, distractions, speed, variety, irregularity, verstatility, changing, adaptability, flexibility, instability, inconsistency, knowledge, philosophy, service, teaching, mind, intelligence, intellect, language, communication, learning, poetry, voice acting, narration, acting, sharing, masculine, neutrality

Sun and Mercury:

Sun and Mercury are both centered around intelligence but in different ways; they complete each other. Sun is about divine knowledge and Mercury is about conveying, transmitting or communicating that knowledge or even perhaps analyzing it and extracting more wisdom as well as detail from it so I found this point particularly interesting. Sun illuminates with its rays and gives clarity by providing us with the truth and then Mercury expands on that truth and shares it with others in its charming versatile way as well

Sun vs Mercury sign:

Mercury does not move further than 28 degrees from the Sun meaning that the Mercury sign will always be the sign before or after the Sun sign (zodiacal signs are divided into 30 degrees) and so there is a bit of a differentiation (for lack of a better word) between who we are and the way we communicate and exchange information with other people if the Mercury and Sun signs are not one of the same. First example that comes to mind is having an Aries Sun Taurus Mercury and two people who are quite close to me have these placements; you would not know they were Aries Suns unless u asked hahaha even though one of them is an Aries rising too so that is something I wanted to note as well. Another example would be Sagittarius sun with Scorpio Mercury adding a lot of intensity to the person's communication style as well (which is something I relate to as you will see later on)

Domicile and exaltation:

Sooo Mercury rules over Gemini and Virgo so those are its domicile signs, it is how Mercury can manifest itself most comfortably whilst embodying its true essence. And then Mercury has its exaltation in Virgo as well which is pretty unique might I say and this gives me the vibes of (this my own way of seeing it so take it with a grain of salt) Mercury being more constructive in the sign of Virgo versus in Gemini just because of this particular distinction

But speaking of these two signs I do think they embody their Mercurial energies quite differently and shoutout to my friend @saturnianoracle for giving me the key words to describe this. First of all they are both analytic but Virgo is more of a skeptic I feel while Gemini tends to have more of an open mind. Virgo wants to see the evidence behind certain things to determine the merit or validity, to a certain extent, of the topics at hand to then decides if it wants to invest energy into looking into it more. It is very grounded as well as organized. With Gemini there is a certain sense of childlike curiosity that takes hold of this sign making it want to explore deep topics and of course stimulate its mind; it dives in without thinking and is more disorganized, inconsistent and chaotic I would say, and it loves conversing about its findings as well. I saw a tiktok video ancient astrology based describing Virgo and Gemini as the most intuitive signs which was fascinating to be honest u can watch it here

Detriment and Fall:

Mercury has its detriment in Sagittarius/Pisces and its fall in the sign of Pisces as well and the interesting thing noted in the video I watched (mentioned at the start) is that Sagittarius and Pisces are ruled by Jupiter, the biggest planet ruling over expansion and abundance, and with Mercury being on the smaller side you can really see that distinction of the Mercurial signs really often looking at the detail of things and well in contrast the Jupiter signs seeing the bigger picture. Also Jupiter being a benefic and ruling over luck makes me think that having these two placements is honestly not so bad tbh

Mercury in first house:

Mercury has its planetary joy in the first house of the self, highlighting the utmost importance of the curious, inquisitive and messenger qualities of the planet. What is interesting is the neutrality of Mercury and how we can link that with its joy being in the 1st house; a house that can be above or below the horizon, so even in this regard it stays neutral and does not "pick a side" if that makes sense; "acting as a bridge between the upper and lower hemispheres of the chart, a bridge between the celestial and terrestial realms which are united in the degree of the ascendant".

Source for the planetery joy information is Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune by Chris Brennan

I have made a more detailed post on planetary joys so check it out <3

Neutrality:

Mercury is not seen as a benefic or a malefic; it is considered a neutral planet. Of course, its manifestation and expression can be positive, negative or stay neutral depending on a few factors, such as:

Being in its domicile (Gemini/Virgo) or its exaltation (Virgo) sign is gonna lead it to manifest in a more constructive/beneficial way

Being in its detriment (Sagittarius/Pisces) or its fall (Pisces) sign would generally lead it to manifest in a less constructive way

Aspecting a benefic planet (Jupiter/Venus) would lead Mercury in this instance to manifest in a more constructive way as it is said to adopt the traits of benefic planet it is associated with

Being in a benefic ruled sign; meaning a Jupiter ruled sign as mentioned beforehand (Sagittarius Mercury, Pisces Mercury) or a Venus ruled sign (Taurus Mercury, Libra Mercury) would manifest in the same manner mentioned above

Aspecting a malefic planet (Mars/Saturn) leads Mercury to take on the traits of that malefic planet as well

Being in a malefic ruled sign so either Mars ruled (Aries Mercury, Scorpio Mercury) or Saturn ruled (Capricorn Mercury, Aquarius Mercury) leads us to Mercury adapting to that malefic's traits again

Triplicity also matters and I will make a detailed post on it soon but for now all I can say is that having Mercury in an air sign (Gemini, Aquarius, or Libra) adds on to the "power" that the Mercury placement has within the chart and the support that it gives to the native; if we are dealing with a day chart then Mercury has moderate support in the air sign in question (Saturn being its triplicity lord), and if it is a night chart then it maintains a powerful position within the chart, being its own triplicity ruler. (Source for triplicity rulership intormation is Ancient Astrology: in Theory and Practice: A manual of Traditional Techniques, Volume One: Assessing Planetary Condition by Demetra George)

That is all!! I wanted to go into more detail tbh but time simply does not allow it these days as I have my internship going on as well but I hope this was informative haha

𝘒𝘦𝘵𝘶'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 & 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (𝘼𝙨𝙝𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙞) 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴.

Knull, voiced by Ashwini Sun native Andy Serkis, is an ancient god of darkness. He originated in the void before the creation of the universe itself. He literally calls himself the God of the Void.

Gorr, portrayed by Ashwini Moon native Christian Bale, was a powerless man who got transformed into a god-killer, being titled The God Butcher. Canonically, in the comics, Gorr took Knull's powerful sword to go on a god-killing spree, believing that no deity deserved to live. This sword is called the Necrosword, forged by Knull's own darkness which is heavily associated with the primordial emptiness before the universe. This puts emphasis on Ashwini, a nakshatra which can connect to the primordial space, being co-ruled by Ketu, which is essentially associated with the void.

Ashwini can be seen in the defying of expectations & traditional power structures, being ruled by Mars, which seeks change, along with the shadow planet of destruction, Ketu. This change of the power structures is captured in how Gorr was born into a weak, suffering race, expected to worship gods, only to then defy divine hierarchy altogether in his quest to eradicate the entire celestial order.

In Hindu mythology, Andhaka, who is linked to Mars (Mangala), was betrayed by the very gods he once served, exactly like Gorr was. The gods cursed Andhaka, and in response, he turned against them and waged war on the divine. Andhaka being born blind can reflect Ketu causing obscurity, detachment, or lack of perception in the material world — being the headless entity it is. Andhaka's parallels to Gorr mirrors Mars’ self-propagating aggression, highlighting mass destruction and eradication.

Hela, the Goddess of Death, is another embodiment of this destructive, self-propagating expression of Mars with Ketu. She is portrayed by Ashwini Moon native Cate Blanchett. Her associations with Death and darkness already highlights the Ketu rulership, and her quest to take over the throne so ferociously as she did highlights Mars. She slaughters all the Asgardian warriors, including the Warriors Three, and then she yields her powerful ability of the life force to resurrect her ancient army of fallen soldiers. Knull has the same ability to create or yield powers from the Void, being that he controls the dead through the symbiotes. He, much like Hela, can be considered different manifestations of Hades.

I have already touched on Hades, Lord of the Underworld, being possibly connected to Ashwini nakshatra. Both Knull and Hela mostly reside in darkness where they rule over the dead and fallen.

They are undeniably powerful, but even their wealth lies in the dead. This notion of wealth and abundance (Hades symbolizes wealth) being associated with matters of darkness is very interesting. I touched on it in relation to Magha, an obvious nakshatra regarding this concept, written in this post, relating to the unseen wealth & limitlessness of Hades through manifestation and detachment.

In the 2013 NBC series Dracula, Mula Moon & ASC native Jonathan Rhys Meyers played Dracula who possesses immense wealth and influence despite being a fearsome creature of darkness.

In regards to rising to power from being considered lowly, insignificant or conquered, this reminded me of the character Artemisia, played by Ashwini Moon Eva Green. Artemisia's entire bloodline got slaughtered, and she was abused and treated as insignificant, being a female born into a hyper-patriarchal society. But even then, she rose up and became a fearsome force who commanded war ships, earning a reputation as a ruthless and independent strategist rather than a simple subordinate.

movie: 300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

She was also named to be a male-butcher/man-killer, who despised the Greeks, much like how Gorr became the god-butcher who despised all deities. Their hatred was defined by their thirst for vengeance, a theme that's also found in Ashwini, although more potent in Bharani nakshatra. Two nakshatras which once again overlap in many ways.

These characters embody necessary forces for the cosmic balance. In many mythologies, destruction is described as integral as creation. It is said that without it, there would be no new beginnings, evolution, or transformation. Ashwini is the nakshatra for new beginnings, and the rulership of Ketu emphasizes the need to detach or destroy in order for that to happen. After destruction, there lies the Void. It's interesting that the character Knull can create anything from his darkness.

In spirituality, the "void state" or "I AM state" refers to a deep meditative state where one aligns with the sense of emptiness, nothingness, and the pure consciousness of reality, where thoughts and the physical body are transcended.

Magha Moon Neville Goddard taught this exactly to his groups and wrote about it in his books, interestingly.

Hela is death, decay, and endings, but she exists as a necessary force for the cycle of rebirth and renewal. Exactly why she destroyed Thor's Mjolnir, bending a rule or hierarchy that only he can summon it – not even break it. Ashwini destroys and initiates. The change will cause deep loss, it will cause mourning, but it simply symbolizes that bigger things are to come.

Hela represents the inevitable breaking down of old systems and the decay of outdated ideologies, as explored in the movie through her character. She made the end of an era but also pushed forward a new one, which made her such a great villain for Thor's unexpected transformation.

Gorr is quite similar as an agent of transformation, in that he is a force of reckoning, as he challenges the gods themselves and their arrogance of power by executing them (Hela was also an executioner, Odin's executioner, to be more precise).

His personal rage evolves into a cosmic mission to challenge the divine, therefore acting as a force of balance — restoration, even if his violence goes too far. These are the themes which I explored through the Mars nakshatras, as Mars also acts as a force of growth. But notice how Ketu is specifically about going straight back to the Void, whether the characters themselves are executioners or killers who send their victims, or those they deem unworthy, back to the afterlife.

Knull quite literally represents the cosmic void, being a symbol of entropy as he seeks to undo all things. His ability to harness from the Void and raise the dead further emphasizes the Ketu dominance over this character.

Knull is literally a primal force, with his ability to consume, corrupt, and reshape life. His existence also signifies that everything must eventually return to its original, undifferentiated state. This explains the nihilistic tendencies I see in Ketu characters, such as Jason Dean from 1988's Heathers, who is played by Magha Sun native Christian Slater.

The same character was also played by likely Ashwini Moon native Ryan McCartan in the musical Heathers.

So, Knull’s role in the cosmic order is to enforce this primeval return, which circles back to Ketu's essential purpose. Rahu builds, creates, remakes. This is why Rahu is important for maintaining society, Rahu is also important for both the arts & technology. While Ketu destroys, reduces, eradicates — forces one back to the Void. This is why Ketu natives may feel so unfit for society. Rahu natives must master Maya, which explains why they may immerse themselves into illusion or into creativity/advancing oneself, while Ketu natives can be nihilistic as they may become seduced by the idea of diving back into the Void. This is seen in the Ketu character Jason Dean building a suicide bomb so that everybody goes back to their natural origin/“heaven”, where there's peace and no hierarchy.

Found another Void-related character played by a Mula native this time.
