Lunar Energy & Self-Care

Lunar energy -It is related to how we feel when the moon changes. The moon affects our well-being and how much energy we have and where we invest it. How we express emotions, where we feel safe and comfortable. What can we do when the moon is in a certain sign and what is the most favorable energy for then.

People with a moon in a fire sign will feel best when the moon is fiery, because they will feel emotionally active - for them, it can be challenging if the moon is in a water sign, because they can sometimes be emotionally uncomfortable.

People with a water moon will feel best when the moon is in a water sign because it will give them security, comfort, and a connection to their inner world. They can also connect well with water at that time. For them, a moon in an air sign can be challenging because it can push them too much to express emotions or be logical.

People with an Earth Moon will feel their best when the Moon is in an Earth sign, as they will feel productive and organized. However, they may find the Fire Moon most challenging, as it pushes them to do something immediately.

People with an air moon will feel best around an air moon because it will give them a sense of expression, reflection, and new ideas. However, the most challenging moon for them can be a water moon because they may feel like they don't have complete control over their thoughts or aren't as objective during this time.

♈️ Aries Moon → Movement & Action

Burn off restless energy with exercise or dance. Try something spontaneous like a solo adventure.  Take a hot shower or bath to reset your energy Go for fast walks, boxing, running, dancing, or martial arts. Do something spontaneous and courageous — wear what you want, say no, or make a bold move. Go for bold colors (especially red or scarlet), structured clothing, or statement accessories.

♉️ Taurus Moon → Sensory Comfort

Indulge in skincare, massage, or a cozy night in. Enjoy rich, comforting foods mindfully. Spend time in nature or with grounding scents like vanilla & sandalwood.  Taurus Moon and self-care blend naturally like a soft ritual — it’s about creating comfort through beauty, sensuality, and consistency. A Taurus Moon needs grounding through the senses: warm baths with essential oils, soft fabrics, nourishing homemade meals, music that soothes the soul, and spaces that feel like sanctuary.

♊️ Gemini Moon → Mental Stimulation

Read, journal, or explore new ideas to feed your mind. Connect with friends & have meaningful conversations. Engage in creative self-expression—writing, music, or storytelling. It’s caring for the mind as much as the body — reading a new book, writing thoughts into journals, calling a friend just to laugh, learning something random but exciting. It’s changing up routines when they feel stale, finding comfort in movement, conversation, and ideas. Self-care here isn’t stillness — it’s flow. It’s walking through a city with headphones on, following thoughts like constellations, making space for all your voices and feelings without needing to label them.

♋️ Cancer Moon → Emotional Nurturing

Create a cozy home sanctuary with soft blankets & candles. Cook a comforting meal or drink warm tea. Write about your feelings or spend time with loved ones.It’s about holding space for your feelings without rushing to fix them. Self-care becomes a cocoon: cozy blankets, home-cooked meals filled with love, time alone to feel and come back to yourself. It’s memories, music that touches your heart, old letters, familiar scents. It’s taking care of your inner child, letting yourself rest deeply, creating emotional safety.

♌️ Leo Moon → Self-Love & Creativity

Express yourself through art, dance, or fashion. Bask in sunlight or do mirror affirmations. Treat yourself like royalty—luxury skincare, a photoshoot, or a self-love ritual. It’s care that celebrates rather than hides: dressing up even when you’re staying in, dancing like you’re on stage, affirming your worth out loud. It’s giving yourself the attention and admiration you often give others, choosing joy as medicine, and creating moments that feel golden. Self-care is expression — through art, movement, play, drama, and presence.

♍️ Virgo Moon → Order & Healing

Declutter your space for mental clarity. Focus on holistic wellness—herbal teas, breathwork, or clean eating.  Write a to-do list to ease stress & bring structure. It’s cleansing your space to clear your mind, making lists to soothe anxiety, preparing nourishing meals with care. It’s tending to your body like a sacred ritual, tracking your cycles, simplifying your surroundings, creating routines that bring calm. Self-care is in the details: the right tea, the perfect playlist, the satisfaction of things in their place.

♎️ Libra Moon → Harmony & Beauty

Pamper yourself with skincare or a beauty ritual. Listen to soothing music & create a peaceful ambiance.Spend quality time with people who bring you balance. It’s lighting candles just because it feels good, curating your surroundings to reflect calm, connecting with others who bring softness to your soul. Self-care is aesthetic, relational, thoughtful — writing love letters to yourself, finding the perfect blend of music and mood, creating time for stillness and companionship alike. It’s about giving yourself the same grace you give others, learning that your own needs matter too.

♏️ Scorpio Moon → Deep Healing & Transformation

Do shadow work or meditate on your emotions. Engage in deep self-reflection through journaling or tarot. Take a ritual bath with candles & essential oils for emotional release. It’s diving into your emotional underworld, feeling it all, and coming back stronger. Self-care here is about privacy, protection, and power — taking time alone to recharge, practicing emotional alchemy through journaling, shadow work, or silence. It’s long baths in the dark, rituals under the moon, music that touches your depth, and safe spaces where your intensity is honored.

♐️ Sagittarius Moon → Adventure & Freedom

Go on a spontaneous trip or long walk. Read about philosophy, spirituality, or cultures. Spend time under the stars to connect with something bigger. It’s giving yourself space to roam, whether through travel, ideas, or dreams. Self-care means saying yes to adventure, learning something new, chasing sunsets, or journaling in the sun with your favorite book by your side. It’s releasing emotional weight through movement — hiking, dancing, wandering — and trusting that joy is a compass. It’s being honest with yourself, even if it shakes things up.

♑️ Capricorn Moon → Grounding & Stability

Set personal goals & structure your self-care routine. Practice mindfulness or yoga for inner stability.  Spend time in nature—hiking, mountains, or a peaceful retreat. It’s finding peace in routine, safety in solitude, and pride in all you’ve endured. Self-care here is practical, grounded, and earned: making plans, setting boundaries, building a life that holds you with stability. It’s long walks alone, slow sips of coffee before the world wakes, tending to goals that matter deeply. But it’s also learning to rest without guilt, to feel without controlling, to soften without losing your edge.

♒️Aquarius Moon → Unconventional & Inspired

Explore astrology, energy healing, or humanitarian causes. Try an innovative self-care ritual like sound healing. Engage in brainstorming or vision boarding for future dreams. Self-care here is unconventional, intellectual, and liberating. It’s retreating into thought-provoking books, exploring new ideas, or connecting with like-minded souls who spark your curiosity. It’s finding joy in creating space to think differently, allowing your emotions to flow freely without judgement. Healing is found in progressive change, detaching when needed to gain perspective, and giving yourself the freedom to be uniquely, wonderfully you.

♓️ Pisces Moon → Dreamy & Spiritual

Take a bath with salts, flowers, or essential oils. Channel emotions into poetry, music, or painting. Prioritize deep rest—lucid dreaming, guided meditation, or soft music. Self-care here is fluid, soulful, and spiritual. It’s surrendering to the ebb and flow of your feelings, allowing yourself to rest deeply, dream freely, and connect to a higher sense of purpose. It’s healing through art, music, or nature, creating a sanctuary where your emotions can drift like clouds without needing to control them. Self-care is about softness, compassion, and releasing what no longer serves you. It’s tuning into your intuition, trusting your inner voice, and letting yourself flow — knowing that in stillness and surrender, you find peace.

I don’t like Chappel, but is it just me or is the criticism of her bordering on biphobia?

I feel like biphobia isn’t seen as a real thing. Like no one would argue that lesbians have been at the forefront of LGBT issues or that lesbophobia isn’t rampant, but sometimes it seems like even lesbians don’t think biphobia is real.

What’s unique about biphobia is it’s from both sides - gay and straight. Both think we’re hypersexual, both might have a problem if we’ve been with the opposite sex (which is fine, but not if they think we’re dirty for it), both get annoyed with whatever we call ourselves and more.

The stereotypes and bigotry towards bisexuals puts us at unique risks in society. And I’d argue that if a bi woman is with a woman it’s a lesbian relationship, so said bi woman calling herself lesbian isn’t an issue because it’s a)technically true b) cuts down on time explaining c)stops intrusive/ insulting comments on bisexuality (though comments on lesbians would obviously still be a risk)

Ahhhh and it’s annoying because I feel like I’m lesbophobia for bringing up the very real biphobia some lesbians have

Some people are biphobic by using her to shit on all bi women. But lesbians being mad that she constantly talks about men and said once that she used a women to get back at a men, is understandable tbh. It is harmful to lesbians to act that way with their label when she is clearly bi.

Yeh biphobia is tremendously overlooked in my opinion. It's so secret and sly that not many see it as biphobia and instead just jokes or facts.

Yesssss. Not being able to fit in with others bc of biphobia from both sides is so damaging. But also when you meet most bisexuals, they most often have internalised biphobia or refuse to acknowledge biphobia as an actual problem and instead an internet thing. It's best to just find your like minded people and forget about everyone else.

Although I agree that bisexuals do deal with unique issues when openly bisexual. Calling yourself a lesbian when you're bi and had a history of dating men or date a man in the future, is going to add to the stereotype that lesbains aren't real and just need a man to change them. And it also harms bisexuals bc it adds to the stereotype that bisexuals purposely use the lesbian label with bad intentions and that bisexuals are just secretly straight looking to be different.

Also I would argue that it's alot more dangerous to be openly lesbian than bisexual bc if men don't feel like they can fuck you, then they instead think they can harm you.

As long as you don't use lesbophobic stereotypes or standing points when talking about biphobia, then you're not lesbophobic. Keep talking about biphobia, we need more voices.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

tips on bonding with a forgotten god 👍

so, you want to attract some long forgotten (or newly created) spirit with no reputation. honestly, i'd label this kind of unsafe and risky, but i did it, so i'm not gonna stop you if you really want to. just keep in mind that, while attempting to contact a forgotten god? you're gonna run into other stuff. this is essentially reaching your hand into the spiritual mystery box and shaking it around, and some of the stuff that lurks down there is bitey. here is my obligatory tread with caution first, put up wards against anything malicious etc etc, but realistically. i can't stop you.

general forgotten god bonding tips:

keep an energy of openness about you. just broadcasting a general thought of "hey, i'm here, and i want to talk to you." they listen. if they want to talk to you, they'll find a way.

look for reccuring signs in your life. humans like to find patterns in everything, but look for a sign that affects you on a large scale. a lot of these signs can be found around big changes or life events. ask who that random streak of strangely specific good luck or that weirdly occuring motif or that time you almost died but didn't belongs to! sometimes, you'll get an answer. other times, it's just chance, which, there's nothing wrong with that either.

talk out loud to "any spirits who may be nearby." i used to do really vague wide spells like this by saying that exact phrase, and it works for drawing them in or warding them off.

communicate with them. communicating is huge. talking is huge. they'll tell you a lot about themselves if they're chatty and want to foster a connection with you, although some will be harder than others.

ask what offerings they'd like! once you know someone is there, and you determine you'd like to work with them, ask them things. i know it seems annoying but a lot of the forgotten gods just appreciate you caring enough to do so.

find out what they stand for. help them with it!

be a little crazy with them. part of having a really cool relationship with a forgotten god is just being really weird together. it can be a part of your practice and I wholeheartedly encourage you to get a little weird with it. in whatever way you see fit.

and last, but definitely not least,

most importantly, imo, but there's a reason that when creatures or angels or demons are depicted, it's a lot. it will be a lot. there is a reason angels tell you to 'be not afraid'.

i am gently taking your hands, and telling you,

when you meet an old god,

be not afraid.

they are beings just like us at the end of the day. they may not be on our level, like, at all, but basic human respect and kindness goes a long way. i've seen spirits shy off because people have such a set image of the deity in their mind as a deity that they forget that.. you can be friendly with them. no one is going to smite you down. they will also want to talk about their days. they have niche hobbies. they have lives.

be not afraid.

don't blow them out of proportion. be respectful, and kind, and coexist with them instead of apologizing for breathing the air they occupy, and things will fall as they should.

anyways. this got long so i can make a follow up post of how to bond with Cou specifically, but i'm leaving this here for now.

thank you to @caidenthewitch for the fun engaging question. i am by no means a professional but hell, it worked for me, so 👍

i hope this experience helps!

I also want to add that the importance of the type of posts that give examples of queerness being fluid and people's gender/sexuality changing over time is so people understand that this is just as normal as people who don't have a gender/sexuality that is fluid or people who have a rigid relationship with their gender/sexuality labels. It's so that way people who do or could end up having a fluid relationship with gender/sexuality don't feel as if they're broken or their previous labels were just straight up wrong (and that being a bad thing). And it's also so that people who don't have fluid queerness understand that a lot of real people change over time or have experiences that don't fit the rigid ideas of queer labels (and that they will still use labels that feel comfortable or fitting to them)

A theoretical happenstance in which someone's parent tells them that they're not actually gay because that could change/they could figure out they do like the opposite gender one day is NOT the fault of a theoretical person being comfortable keeping lesbian as their sexuality label while dating a partner who turns out/transitions to be a trans masc person.

ive seen this type of post recently thats like "you can't say sexuality is fluid because what if people harass gay people and try to get them to change" or "you can't be a bi lesbian because what if a man uses that to harass other lesbians" and it's like. well first of all sexuality is fluid, maybe not for you specifically, but for a lot of people it is or can be. and secondly if someone's using another queer person's label to harass you that is not the other queer person's fault it's the fault of the person harassing you. like YOUR sexuality does not have to be fluid YOU do not have to identify as a bi lesbian but other people are going to have experiences that are different from yours. and if someone harasses you bc of someone else's identity, again, that is them finding an excuse to be a creep. also we went over this in like 2018 with nonbinary exclusionism i swear i've typed this exact post but with "nonbinary people aren't the reason people are transphobic towards binary trans people" we have already done this discourse pack it up go home

I intended for the post these tags are on to be the last thing I say about fandom misogyny for a While because I felt like I covered everything already but oh my god YES I agree So hard

In general, while I do think Princess/TLQ are permanent partners, they're also not...human. they certainly act human, but they don't carry the same societal baggage that we get saddled either by virtue of being born surrounded by other humans.

And then "marriage" as a concept is one that is so vastly different in so many cultures and time periods, and at least for the kinds of marriages I'm familiar with, there are a Lot of benefits for abusive partners and Especially men to obtain legal and financial power over their partner through marriage. Like, so much of marriage, on top of its symbolic and romantic value, is also its legal and financial ones, as well as social positioning/maneuvering-"wife" carries more weight than "girlfriend", serves as a status symbol. I don't think the Princess and TLQ would really care for that.

HEA doesn't touch on the complicated socioeconomic issues that come with marriage, especially traditional/heterosexual marriage, but it does touch on so much of the domestic unhappiness that comes with it, especially in regards to how you, the player, and the Smitten keep her in this unhappy, stale situation she's Supposed to be happy with. Opportunist even calls her "our queenly wife."

So like on top of marriage being a distinctly human construct/invention I'm not sure those two would vibe with when they can literally merge their souls together at any given moment. HEA in particular would fucking hate it. She's already Been trapped with a partner in a situation all too similar to the Traditional marriage. I could see arguments for other princesses. for a modern-AU Prisoner using marriage for tax benefits and secretly being delighted when she signs the papers, for Tower or Nightmare to make the player legally her pet in a similar fashion, for the Wounded Wild to accept it...

Never HEA. And yet the majority of StP marriage content is HEA, because she's their favorite and she's wife. Never mind how much she hated it. Never mind that her whole route is about how much she hated it. She's wife! We love her! She loves us! Of course she'd marry us, there's no other option! We HAVE to symbolically own her and tie her to us forever! Right???

[not-gray-politics]

Hey btw I see a lot of well-meaning people use "you can't change your gender" interchangeably with "you can't control your gender" and I wanna say that while you may not mean to, by saying that you are in fact erasing the existence of genderfluid people and it kinda sucks

[themonkey2025]

can i be honest this shit's so bad it's got me posting in r/bpd to feel for five seconds like other people GET it and i don't have to explain myself

[thatdude-noah]

being aroace and being in a relationship is crazy sometimes because. every now and then i'm hit with the realization that i am not normal. whenever i avoid certain romantic relationship things, i remember that even though we are more than friends, we aren't ever going to be in a fully romantic relationship. and that's my fault.

my gf likes to watch tiktoks as i sit silently on tumblr next to her and i just. the amount of tiktoks spewing bullshit pop psychology and pathologizing everything is so infuriating. it makes me want to punch holes in the wall.

I know it says "in the tags" but.

I was about to say 'hands down it was Gordon's Lemon Gin" but then something reminded me about Bundaberg Spiced Rum.

The Lemon Gin was an utter disappointment. I think I still made it through the bottle (with some help from similarly disappointed helpers). You know how Lemon has like. Two kinds of lemon flavour? Like that sweet lemon flavour you'd expect from pies or lemon and poppyseed muffins, vs that almost bitter and sour citrus you get from very few - but often enough to recognize - sources?

It was very definitely not sweet lemon. I would not pair that in any way, shape, or form with anything sweet.

(Which is a shame! The pink gin? lovely. The tangerine? Not bad! The lemon though I would run for the hills)

The Bundaberg Spiced Rum, however.

I never thought I'd find something that tasted like burning plastic.

They proved me wrong.

It was probably the most foul, worst thing I've tried. I think we even tried mixing it with coke, and that couldn't save it.

tell me in the tags either the worse drink you've ever had or what you do to alcohol to make it palatable

[edge-oftheworld]

why do i go into the tags of an old post and all i see other than the cries of cuteness is 'you can't convince me he's straight' like idk maybe i'm an idealist for this but. unless that man specifically told you he's straight outright none of us have the right to make that assumption. celebrities' sexuality is their business and maybe they'll tell us maybe they won't but I thought we were over assuming everyone is straight unless we're told otherwise

Current status on The Gender Situation: Might have some fluidity up in there. Gender jello, dare I say.
