#are zodiac signs even still popular?

[firewolf111]

Feel free to reblog to expand the data pool or just to get to know your mutuals.

Also, I am a mix of both. I have a few "default" stims I'll fall back on or do randomly that have been pretty consistent. But some of my main stims follow trends. Like my current main stim is the Harpy Hare handshake.

;-; Either way, have a nice day. And drink water.<3

₊˚⊹ astrology notes volume five

─ .✧ tuts if you need them

─ .✧ these are based on isolated placements, so take it with a grain of salt since your entire chart matters. these are mostly based on western astrology

─ .✧ this time around a lot of these are just random opinions and not based on literal facts

˖༉ your pisces and 12h placements can show what area of life you’re spiritually protected in. an example: having a pisces mars can mean you are spiritually protected well when others hurt you or hate on you and that someone can get really bad karma for doing so

˖༉ aquarius' are so obsessed with what they can’t have or just doing the opposite of what people tell them to do. if you tell them to leave you alone, they’ll want you more. if you tell they can’t do something, they’ll wanna do it more. if you tell them they shouldn’t sky dive without a parachute, they will

˖༉ the midheaven is so important when it comes to your life’s purpose. not just the north node. for example: a capricorn midheaven is meant to work hard and become wealthy or at the very least successful in some way

˖༉ leo’s are known for being the “popular ones” of the zodiac signs, but cancer's are often very popular too. the moon is always shining bright in the sky just like the sun. it’s also why cancer placements crave lots of attention

˖༉ because of numerology capricorn and aries are an amazing pairing, even though astrologically based on their elements they aren’t. i sometimes find the letterology of the signs to have more accuracy when discussing compatibility

˖༉ the descendant can tell about the qualities you like in others. for example: an aquarius descendant can indicate you like others that are super weird/unique and are free spirits that make everyone feel like they can be themselves

˖༉ when at a lower vibration taurus placements will apologize and then continue to do the thing that they already apologized for. they may also know they’re in the wrong yet still argue their point

˖༉ pisces and 12h placements usually find it very difficult to quit bad habits. especially if they’re a pisces moon or have their moon in the 12h

˖༉ everyone says scorpios are loyal, but i’ve noticed that they won’t be if you don’t play by their rules. sometimes if you cheat, they’ll cheat

˖༉ nobody really talks about it but sags are huge flirts. sometimes they’re players though. i would go as far as to say they sometimes have better game than libras

˖༉ when discussing elements then aries and libra would technically be compatible, but numerically they’re not at all. they’re fatally attracted to one another and libra energy really admires aries energy, but they shouldn’t be together

˖༉ people with 5h stelliums enjoy being busy a lot and constantly doing things. sitting around too much will make them feel depressed. they aren’t usually huge homebody’s unless they have a lot of water in their chart

˖༉ i like cancer placements don’t get me wrong but at times they can come off really cheesy or corny with some of the things they say

˖༉ taurus and 2h placements like to act tough on the outside but often they are actually hurting on the inside. they’re very sensitive and take things to heart

˖༉ aries and aquarius’ often end up in romantic relationships together. aries are most compatible with aquarius’ compared to other signs

˖༉ your capricorn placements can tell you what area of life you will need lots of patience in. example: a capricorn venus indicates you need to be very patient with your loved ones

poor!reader who... over-commits to things. she says yes to too many things, whether it's extra shifts at the diner, a school project, or helping a friend out, which leads to exhaustion or stress but also shows how much she cares.

poor!reader who... underestimates her own worth. despite being talented, confident, and intelligent, she often downplays her achievements or deflects compliments. she’s used to feeling like an outsider and doesn't always trust her own worth.

poor!reader who... can’t resist a good bookstore. when she’s feeling down or stressed, she heads straight for the old, local bookstore (even a used one), getting lost in the shelves for hours. it’s her place of comfort and escape.

poor!reader who... loves talking to strangers. she has a habit of chatting with strangers—whether it's the elderly lady who sits next to her on the bus or the person standing in line with her at a coffee shop. she's never met a person she didn't want to talk to.

relationships...

poor!reader who... is romantic but cynical. she has a soft spot for romance, but she's not naive. she's had her heart broken in the past, and she’s hesitant to fall for someone again, but deep down, she longs for love that’s real and messy.

poor!reader who... has an intense rivalry with rich popular bully!chris. since he has a better social standing—and is constantly making it a point to remind her of that—it pushes her to constantly prove herself. their rivalry fuels her competitive streak.

poor!reader who... holds back her feelings. she’s the type who internalizes a lot of her emotions and doesn’t express them outwardly. like when she’s angry or sad, she bottles it up until it eventually explodes.

poor!reader who... has a secret love for someone out of her league. she has a crush on rich popular bully!chris who seems completely out of reach. she admires him from afar or when they're face to face in another one of their arguments. though, she'd be foolish to think that he'd reciprocate her feelings for him... right?

poor!reader who... hates feeling pitied. she often downplays any issue she’s going through because she hates the idea of being pitied. she’d rather keep her struggles to herself than let anyone see her vulnerability.

randoms...

poor!reader who... has an obsession with finding hidden gems. whether it’s in thrift shops, small bookshops, or record stores, she’s always on the hunt for something unique and obscure.

poor!reader who... has a curiosity about the unknown. she’s into conspiracy theories, astrology, or anything else that makes her question the world around her. it’s her form of escape.

poor!reader who... has a hidden spot. there’s a secret spot just outside the city she loves to visit. it's this secluded park with a small body of water, a bridge, and a weeping willow tree. she loves going there to read or just to enjoy nature.

poor!reader who... has an old-fashioned sense of romance. while she loves modern love, she secretly fantasizes about grand romantic gestures like a handwritten letter or a midnight picnic.

poor!reader who... collects strange things. from old tickets to quirky trinkets, she gathers mementos that may seem random, but to her, they represent specific moments in time or personal memories.

poor!reader who... carries around a map of her hopes. she has a map in her room where she draws out places she hopes to visit, goals she wants to achieve, or dreams she’s trying to chase. it’s a literal and figurative map of her future.

He hates Christine, due to most of the time, she takes credit for stuff like cleaning, making coffee for their dad, and/or do her work, whenever Chris was the one who did those things, and even then, the two still hate each other

Susan and Chris are close, but they don't spend time with each other much, since Susan and Martin bond, and they hang out sometimes, but not all the time

He dated someone once in high school, a popular guy, until he dumped Chris for not liking a 'weirdo, who loves animals', which made Chris, somewhat, closed off on love

Chris and Aviva met around middle school, where they were science partners, until they hung out more, becoming best friends

The reason why Chris crawled to Martin instead of his parents, was because he actually loved Martin more than them, since he feels happier and safe around him, even wanted to be just like him when he was older, to the point the two began their dreams of saving animals

Chris has a teddy bear in order to sleep in the dark.

Chris used to be a nerd when he was a freshman, until he began to work out and wear different outfits, which got some attention.

Chris sings whenever he is alone, since he's still nervous about his singing voice, but even if he does, he is a very good singer.

That's all for now! If you have any questions, please comment down!

A lil guide to why you're not identifying with your natal chart

I've been thinking of writing this post for a few years now because this is one of the most common issues that people have when studying their charts and I feel like there's a lot of misconception around the topic sooooo I hope I can give you guys some ideas.

BIAS

As simple as that, people often have issues with taking a step back and really thinking about their life in relation to their charts. This is why astrology consultations (as opposed to reports) are often more advised. For most people, the way they are and the way their lives are is "normal", especially when we talk about things that are correlated with upbringing and culture. But also, your everyday life.

Just to give an example, I was once studying zodiacal releasing of my sister and I told her "seems like your peak period lasted from your childhood up to your late teens". She rolled her eyes and said that if that was her peak period then her life's a failure. But let me tell you how her teens went: she was super popular, everyone had a crush on her, one of her tattoos got an award at an international tattoo convention, she was one of the best dancers in her ballet school, she also has a brief history of being a metal singer and kind of by pure chance performed at Poland's Woodstock (now Pol'and'Rock - if you know, you know). I am probably missing something but my point is: she cannot look objectively at her life, for her that's just a normal teenage experience. But also, sometimes people's current aspirations often don't align with their past aspirations so when they look back, most events seem bland to them. And that is the case for a lot of folks.

Everyone has that friend who's always like: "I'm nothing special blehhh" and you just sit there and think of all their talents and accomplishments and just scratch your head. Or that person who always complains about having no money, yet they can live comfortably and can afford most of the things they want. And this goes for everything: talents, personality traits, home life and so on…

Remember, often times it's hard to really take a look at yourself in the mirror. And even if you do, you still see a flipped version of yourself.

MISINFORMATION, SIMPLIFICATION AND STEREOTYPES

I think this is a big one. And especially if your source of knowledge comes from the internet. When you learn about the signs and their characteristics, it's crucial to understand the nuances - and people pretty much always forget about it.

Every sign can have a certain trait: being driven is not exclusive to Aries, being sensual is not exclusive to Taurus, being talkative is not exclusive to Gemini and so on - it's all about the motives and the background of when and how that trait manifests.

For example, sure, one of the negative traits of Taurus is stubborness - because it's an earth sign and it's fixed. But Taurus is more than that, it's not just a one-ingredient sign. No sign is a one-ingredient sign. MOST people will be stubborn in some way: Aries will be stubborn if you won't let them do what they want, Gemini will be stubborn if you try to undermine their ideas and say they're wrong, Cancer will be stubborn about their grievances or about holding on to things tried and trusted and so on…

REMEMBER (and I want this plastered everywhere): no sign has the monopoly for anything. This goes the other way around: just because a Virgo was rude towards you, doesn't mean all Virgos will be rude towards you. NOT ALL *INSERT SIGN*.

Everything has a spectrum and everything has its place. Most Aries Suns are not full of anger and toughness all the time but maybe they love video games and they don't even realize that they're relieving their negative feelings by shooting everyone in Call of Duty? Or their job requires some martian energy, movement and discipline? Or they're very protective over the opressed ones and they're not afraid to fight for them when needed?

(And so yes, you probably do have that trait you claim you don't have in a certain context).

ASPECTS TO THE PLANETS AND OTHER INFLUENCES

"I don't feel like an Aries Sun", says a person with a Saturn square to their Sun, a Mars in Pisces and a Taurus rising. Well, first of all, I can guarantee you that you do act like an Aries in some ways but second of all - if your fiery and bold passionate lil heart is dimmed and harassed by Saturn, your Sun's dispositor is in a dreamy and passive Pisces and your Sun is in the 12th house AND on top of that, that slow Taurus rising is really clashing with cardinal Aries, then yes, this can make sense.

What can block or drastically alter a planet's infuence? Squares and oppositions, a contrasting stellium in another sign or house, sometimes being unaspected or occupying a house that is in aversion to other important points in the chart (so it's inconjunct), especially to the 1st house - you won't "see" your planets if they're in the 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th house. Alternatively and interestingly, a planet (or more) occupying the 1st house may infuence and distort your view of things where you may not feel or seem to others like a "typical" exponent of your sign. Good example was when people weren't believing Halsey that she's a Scorpio rising - and with a stellium in her 1st house I don't blame them - her persona is influenced by Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, which is a pretty eclectic mixture.

HOUSE PLACEMENTS AND WHAT PLANETS "BELONG" TO

Not every planet talks about you because not every house talks about you. I've done two huge articles on house meanings and you can check them out here: PART 1 & PART 2, but to quickly sum them up:

1st: you 2nd: your posessions 3rd: your siblings/cousins, early education and neighbourhood 4th: your family and parents 5th: your children, sex life and fun activities 6th: your employees, pets and health 7th: your partnerships and open enemies 8th: your shared resources and inheritance 9th: your higher education, beliefs, travel 10th: your career and reputation 11th: your friends and networking 12th: your subconscious, loss, succlusion, sickness

So, as you can see, if you, for example, look at the planets in your 3rd house then they are largely talking about your family members or even neighbours. Have loud Aries Mars in the 3rd house but you're rather introverted and like to be left alone? Well, are your neighbours annoying? Is your neighbourhood a rather loud or even unsafe place? Do you feel a dislike towards your siblings cause they're always obnoxious when you're trying to relax and immerse yourself in your favorite book? Are your siblings sporty? Well, that's your Mars in the 3rd.

Have Jupiter in the 3rd house but you don't travel too much, you were never top of the class and you're shy? BUT how about your siblings, cousins or neighbours? Or maybe your school environment was very preachy or you even attended a catholic school? Look at the bigger picture because, newsflash, even your natal chart doesn't revolve all around you.

TIMING

If we're talking more about circumstances and events, this is a very important point to understand. You're not born with a load of experience and unless you're in your elderly age, you cannot ever say that a certain placement doesn't apply to you. You have Saturn in the 7th? Well maybe you went through that ONE bad breakup/divorce in your life - obviously you're not going through it for the eternity. You have Jupiter in the 7th house yet you struggle in relationships? But then you get into one in your 30s or even 40s and it's with the most jupiterian person in the world and you're happily together for the rest of your lives. You have Sun in the 10th house but you're whining that you're not acknowledged or popular or whatever? Well yeah, you're just being annoying, you know that not everyone can be a teenage superstar influencer or whatever - climbing the social ladder usually takes decades so don't even start with this one.

Nothing is constant. Things require time and that time is often influenced by, you've guessed it, ✨timing techniques✨ lol. So progressions, profections, transits, time lord periods etc. It may be that you won't even live enough to actually experience it. Some gain acclaim after they die, soz.

Other times certain events and traits only apply at certain moments in your life. I've mentioned my sister and her peak period in her teens. Well, she also happen to have Jupiter - her ascendant ruler - in the 3rd house, which may imply that she had the most luck and positive experiences during her school years. Same with other houses, If you have planets in the 7th house they may only be active while you're in a relationship. If you have planets in the 9th they may only activate when you're abroad or during your time in college. If you have planets in the 10th they may only switch on when you're on a high position career-wise. Not every house speaks of moments in life per se, but some do so keep that in mind.

WRONG HOUSE SYSTEM

Some of you stubborn lil kiddos might hate what I'm about to say… but if you're using the default placidus, I do encourage you to ✨open your mind✨ and check out your chart using the whole sign system. It's usually more straightforward and pretty much always more accurate from a constructive point of view.

ON VIRGO RISINGS ♍️

This is a part of a series on the rising signs not necessarily in Zodiacal order.

Virgo is The Hermit in tarot. The hermit is austere and is not supposed to have an ego and personal selfish desires, just surrender actions to God, or higher power, and not be attached to results. Ego - sun - rules their 12th house, that's their hidden enemy. Virgo is about the purity, not s3xual purity, but the purity of action. An action is pure when there's no attachement to a result to gratify the ego. An action dedicated to the universal higher power is a pure action.

Of course one should demand to be adequately and justly paid for work. But doing acts of service for someone and then demanding them to be in a relationship in return is not pure action. Expressing love through acts of service is genuine and pure when you do NOT think that the other party owes you a relationship in return. Or anything in return.

Service just for the sake of service is the highest form of devotion, to a person, to God, etc cause after all when we love someone it's a part of a greater love to the universal higher power. So that's the essence of Virgo. It's a very devotional sign. The "perfectionist" stereotype stems out of Devotion. What's Devotion if not longing for that perfection, that union with a higher power?

Virgos have sagittarius in the 4th house. The "origin/root" (4h) of acts of service (virgo) is divine wisdom (sagittarius). Virgos can bridge the spiritual with the practical. A great Yogi - Paramahansa Yogananda - is a Virgo rising with Sagittarius 4h mercury. He bridged the devotional, spiritual aspect of yoga with a practical method to follow in your daily routine.

He popularized the practice of yoga in the west this way. Basically he made it clear that anyone can practice yoga and reach realization IF and only IF they're devoted enough to maintain this daily practice in their routine. You don't have to live on a mountain and be a monk etc you can be a normal human in a city and still be spiritually realized.

Virgos are stereotyped as "boring" maybe bc of that 5h capricorn. Saturn rules 6h & 5h so their daily life and work is creative even if slow cause of saturn influence. I do not think this is boring at all. They have pisces 7h so they're likely to be attracted to foreign people from a different background. They have scorpio 3h and Mars rules 3h & 8h. so they struggle with communicating their ideas & needs.Especially day charts. This causes relationship problems too. Relationships become one-sided

Unfortunately they face a lot of disillusion in relationships cause they set their partners on a pedestal. A relationship doesn't have to be perfect in order for the love to be true. What's more romantic than loving someone "warts and all"? Nothing.

Virgos have their feet in the ground except in the area of relationships, there they have the head in the clouds. Which brings them disappointment, disillusion, deception. Their relationships work if they start as friendships first cause their 7h ruler jupiter exalts in 11h cancer. So virgos better not skip the friendship stage.

Their 8h ruler Mars exalts in 5h in capricorn so expressing their traumas through art and creativity can help a lot. They are also perfectionists in whatever they create. Their 10h ruler Mercury exalts in Virgo 1h. When they are comfortable with who they are and stop being so harsh and critical on themselves they excel in career. They have aquarius in the 6th house and aquarius is what you wish for. They wish to be of use and this can motivate them to excel and perfect any skill.

All of us can learn from virgo risings to accept God as the giver of the fruit of action and put the ego (and its desire for results) aside while performing any action.

In solar return this year, moon in 7th house and pluto in 4th house, mercury venus mars in 3rd house and saturn in 5th house, jupiter in 7th. How might 2024 be for me?

Hii, hope you're doing safe and well💕💕

(I apologize in advance if i sound confusing at times, idk what's got into me today😭)

🌙 Moon in 7th house - this year, you'll be emotionally dependent on someone special (it doesn't have to be a romantic partner, it can be a best friend or a business partner). You'll feel the need to nurture the person you deeply care about, acting like a mother at times.

If you are single, expect to get into a fulfilling, committed partnership this year. Your future partner might portray the traits of the zodiac sign where your SR Moon is located in (for ex. If you've got an Aquarius Moon in 7th house in your current SR, you might end up in a unconventional relationship with a highly intelligent, eccentric and emotionally aloof partner BUT you might also act more distant with your partner). Often times, the Moon represents a reflection of our own deepest desires, insecurities and emotions - hence the mirroring effect with your partner.

If you are already in a relationship, this is the year for setting roots with your partner. You might discuss having a family, getting engaged or getting married.

🏡 Pluto in 4th house - there's a powerful change coming in your home life. Often times, Pluto in 4th house in SR can talk about death in the family, but unless you've got placements in your 8th house in SR (which you don't seem to), i wouldn't worry about this possibility.

If you're still living with your parents, expect to move out this year. Considering you've also got Moon and Jupiter in 7th house, there's a high possibility you might move in with a partner this year.

If you're more of a shy, introverted person, this year you might get out of your shell. Since your safety and comfort will be shaken up, you might realise that you need to man/woman up. Change isn't scary - stagnation is. Life moves forward and so do you.

📚 Mercury in 3rd house - this year, you'll feel more open to exchange ideas with various people, learn new stuff and travel short distances. If you've been wanting to study a new language, this is a great placement to have! You'll assimilate new words so fast.

If you've got any siblings, expect to have better communication with them. You might make a lot of new acquaintances this year, whether in a school setting, in your immediate surroundings (your neighbourhood for example) or online.

🏫 Venus in 3rd house - this year, you'll fall in love with studying! If you're still in school, you might become top of your class and/or one of the most popular girls. People might perceive you as the "ideal girl" when it comes to academic pursuits.

If you're single and ready to mingle, you might meet your next romantic encounter in the classroom, among acquaintances and friends (or friends of friends), in the library, in your neighbourhood or during a school competition.

You will be attracted to witty individuals/class clowns, nerds and those who make you feel young. You might also have a hard time deciding between two people (or even multiple people lol).

This year, you might also get some new intellectual hobbies (solving crosswords, sudoku, rubik cube) or you might get into riding a bike/monocycle, rollerskating, skateboarding or juggling.

🤬 Mars in 3rd house - with this placement, there's a high possibility that this year you'll feel more energized and active when it comes to your study goals! You might have the drive to study everyday, even if it's not for a long time.

When communicating with others, you might be more blund in your approach this year. You won't hold back when angry and you might get into frequent debates and fights (but only verbally).

🤎 Saturn in 5th house - this year, you'll likely choose to date to find a long-term partner. You'll likely be extra picky when choosing a future partner, but you won't be afraid of the obstacles and difficulties that might arise in the dating phase (for ex. your parents or their parents might not approve of you two dating, lack of time for seeing each other etc.). You might not feel like you can be fully yourself while dating and will probably feel much more comfortable being your authentic self once in a relationship.

If you are already in a relationship, this placement might bring difficulties in conceiving (if you and your partner have decided to have a baby).

💎 Jupiter in 7th house - this year, you might meet your future spouse!(but it's important to take into consideration Juno's position in your SR too). Your partner will likely bring you a lot of joy in your life. They might be a foreigner, come from a different culture or be well-travelled. They're likely well educated and a great storyteller. They might not have a lot of patience, but they're a lot of fun! Always on the go, wanting to experience life with you.

If Saturn and Jupiter are sextiling each other, you might end up marrying your (next) partner this year! (if you want to, of course)

idk if this is where I am to ask but, celestial spirits headcanons? Also Juvia ones?

i went into some more details here, but here’s some more!

Loke and Aries are very close, even before Karen. They often spend time in each other’s temples.

The Gemini spirits are pranksters, but seeing as they are childlike, they never mean to be malicious with anything they do.

Capricorn is often the one who gets them out of trouble, he’s like their babysitter.

All of the Zodiac are protective of them, wanting them to stay childlike and playful.

Aries, Virgo, and Libra are in a poly relationship.

The son of Pisces has a crush on Yukino, but nobody knows but his mother.

She’s advised him against pursing a relationship with a human, because of her own experience. He’ll outlive her thousands of years over.

Aquarius has a secret fondness addiction to human sweets, especially chocolate

Libra is blind & mute. She communicates telepathically with other Spirits and her Key Holder, but she also knows human sign language.

Taurus is a secret softie for plushies. Lucy gifts him some any chance she gets.

Juvia is transfem nonbinary and bi (she/they)

Her birthday is May 5.

She’s 5’4”, but often wears tall boots that make her anywhere from three to six inches taller. She’s a pear shaped and has a bit of fat padding, but not too much.

She never grew out of her gothic phase.

She’s mixed, afrolatina(mom) and Russian(dad). She looks like a perfect mix of them.

She doesn’t communicate with her parents, but they’re both still alive. After they kicked her out, they later wanted to reconnect after her growing popularity in Fairy Tail, but she declined.

She’s autistic.

She’s in a poly relationship with Gajeel and Levy. She was with Gajeel first.

She and Gray are in a platonic relationship and are very close.

She’s very protective of Wendy.

Her sense of taste is very watered down, she barely has a sense of taste.

Zodiac Signs When They Are MAD

Anger is an emotion everyone feels.

How we handle it differs from person to person. It can be explosive from the start. It could appear as passive-aggressiveness. Or maybe no one will ever be able to tell there is anger simmering beneath the surface. 

Anyone is capable of unrestrained, destructive anger. Just as anyone is capable of managing that anger healthily. It depends on the maturity of the individual.

Let’s take a look at how each of the zodiac signs reacts when they are mad.

Aries

Aries is the classical explosive anger type. They will go for the knockout as soon as they are pushed too far.

Aries has a strong sense of justice, especially when they have warned others to stop crossing their boundaries. If they don’t stop when warned, Aries won’t hesitate to call them out. 

Contrary to popular belief, Aries isn’t always boiling with rage. It can take longer than expected for them to explode. They can get frustrated, sure, which can look like anger to others. 

But true anger in Aries will be obvious. When they’ve had enough, they can become destructive. Physically, or to their relationships with others in ways that, most of the time, can’t be mended.

Taurus

Taurus is known to be explosive when they are mad. And also for taking obscene amounts of time before they express that anger.

It could be taken out on targets who don’t deserve it because they happened to say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Taurus has an extremely high tolerance for anger. They don’t find it a productive emotion and would rather not feel it either. It is a toxic emotion in their opinion. It doesn’t fix the problem or convey the root of the emotion to others.

But when Taurus does finally blow up, they will unleash every ounce of rage they’ve held back on their target. It could be weeks, months, or years' worth of anger dumped on one person. 

Once the dust has settled, Taurus will feel awful. 

Unless the person deserved it, then justice was served.

Gemini

Gemini will defeat those who make them mad in a battle of words. 

Quick-witted and silver-tongued, Gemini can use these gifts as weapons when they are angry. And it’s extremely effective. 

If Gemini is angry at someone else, prepare to listen to them vent. Gemini is very good at expressing their frustrations verbally. It may take them a while to get to the root of their anger, but letting them vent will help them find it.

Luckily, once Gemini has talked their anger out, they let it go. Gemini isn’t one to hold a grudge. Once they’ve said what needs to be said, they will either make up with the source of their anger or walk away.

Cancer

Cancer can be very good at hiding their anger. They are very passive-aggressive. 

Being a zodiac sign that runs hot and cold, Cancer is both those extremes when angry. They can hide it so well you’d never know, or they may shock you with an explosion of accusations.

A healthy Cancer can control the explosive side of their anger. But they are still capable of it when pushed beyond what they can handle.

Cancer tends to take things personally, and their hurt is guarded by their anger. Being mad feels much more powerful than being in pain. 

And like their symbol, the crab, when they are in pain, they retreat into their shell and snap their pinchers at what hurt them.

Leo

When Leo is mad, they just want to hurt their target.

Leo has very childish anger and how they express it. Even if they don’t mean the things, they are yelling at you. Leo gets loud and dramatic. 

A good example of Leo's anger can be seen on just about any reality tv show. There is always a dramatic fight over something. It results in name-calling, theatrics, and ultimately someone walking away.

It can leave the person on the other side of that anger hurt and confused as to why Leo is being so cruel. 

Leo’s anger is a form of self-defense. They’d rather be angry than vulnerable. 

Virgo

Virgo hates conflict. But that doesn’t change the fact they get mad just like everyone else.

Virgo opts to be passive-aggressive when they are angry. They will find little ways to slight others and make comments that can be interpreted multiple ways.

Virgo tends to hold grudges because of not properly expressing their anger. So instead of being vented, that anger is held onto and stewed in until something finally breaks.

Virgo would prefer to go on passive-aggressively until they die. But there is inevitably something that they can’t tolerate ignoring any longer. 

That’s when they bring the receipts, the facts, and the legal argument to win over the jury. 

Libra

Libra's anger is silent.

Another zodiac sign whose go-to move when they are mad is to be passive-aggressive. Libra will use the silent treatment to stonewall others in a fashion unique to them.

When they are truly angry, they will remove themselves from the situation.

A healthy Libra can be capable of talking through their issues with the offending party. If they believe the other person is capable of understanding why Libra is mad. 

They want to know their anger has a real chance of being heard and changes being made. If they don’t think the other person will listen or understand them, Libra will merely ignore them.

Scorpio

Scorpio expresses their anger through body language.

Every-proud Scorpio will remain passive when they are mad. But their body language will tell a different story. Eventually, they will explode if the signs are ignored. 

Scorpio is more than able to destroy another person when they are mad. It makes them careful about how they act, especially when mad at loved ones. 

Sagittarius

Sagittarius takes a while to get mad.

They generally go with the flow type people, so it can be shocking when they finally lose it. 

Sagittarius is known for being straightforward speakers. This extends to when they are angry. Sagittarius knows just what words of truth to give you to make it hurt. Really hurt.

Once Sagittarius has decided to stop being nice, they won’t hold back. And unlike with their fire sign sibling Leo, Sagittarius means every word they say. And everything is the truth. It’s indisputable facts.

Careful when a Sagittarius is mad.

Capricorn

Capricorns get a god complex when they are angry.

They begin to act more in charge, possibly micromanaging others into insanity. Capricorn will have nothing good to say. It will all be insults and criticisms. 

This zodiac sign is one of the most dangerous when they are mad. Capricorn is vengeful and doesn’t care if the person they are mad at is right. They made Capricorn look bad, now they have to pay.

Capricorn is very effective at taking their revenge, too. This is a zodiac sign you should avoid angering at all costs.

Aquarius

Aquarius is a very tolerant zodiac sign, it’s very hard to make them mad.

When they are finally pushed too far, Aquarius is likely to be sharp with their words. They will usually retreat into isolation to cool off. 

Aquarius will stop making appearances in that person's life. They simply won’t respond to calls or texts. 

Aquarius wants to protect their energy. If someone pushed them far enough to become this mad, Aquarius has decided they aren’t worth being around. They would rather put their time and energy elsewhere than fight or hang around stupid people.

Pisces

When Pisces is mad, they become self-destructive.

Pisces internalizes their anger in a passive-aggressive, unhealthy way. This usually ends with more damage to themselves than anyone else. 

That doesn’t mean they won’t lash out. This will appear as an emotional outburst that has them throwing whatever painful thing they can think of at the other person. Pisces wants them to feel the same pain inflicted on them.

Even if that pain is mostly self-inflicted. Pisces needs to learn how to process their anger in a way that won’t cause them more hurt.

Tropical vs Sidereal astrology

EDIT: UPON REFLECTION I'VE REALISED THAT I NEED TO BE MORE CLEAR WITH WHAT IM COMPARING HERE - IT IS NOT ABOUT VEDIC ASTROLOGY AS A WHOLE BUT THE SIDEREAL SYSTEM (WHICH IS ALMOST ENTIRELY SOLELY USED BY VEDIC ASTROLOGERS ONLY).

In my first post, I spoke a bit on how astrology works scientifically, and therefore why I use the tropical system. This post will go a little further into why, but I will re-paste the relevant parts from my first part here.

First, however, I would like to make it clear that when I am referring to Vedic astrology, I am referring to the common understanding of vedic astrology today which is the system which uses sidereal positioning. But Vedic astrology DOES NOT necessarily equal Sidereal. There are Vedic astrologers (though few, and will be expanded upon later) which use the tropical system. I am, however, using this post to explain why I do not use the Sidereal system. I am simply not proficient enough to talk about Vedic techniques and principles as understood removed from its popular Sidereal understanding. So to reiterate, this is not a post against Vedic techniques or Vedas and such, but why I do not follow how it is commonly perceived and practised today.

Sidereal vs Tropical rundown

✎ Sidereal astrology accounts for the precession of the equinoxes, i.e. it relies on where the actual constellations have moved to from our perspective on earth. If you use a sky map app and point it to the sky it will tell you the exact constellation above, that is sidereal positioning.

✎ Tropical astrology does not do this, it uses the divison of the ecliptic exactly how it was thousands of years ago of where the sun was at the vernal equinox - Aries. It is thus based on the seasons.

The science behind astrology - why constellations do not matter (excerpt form my main post):

: ̗̀➛ Astrology has NOTHING to do with the physical constellations. Astrology is based on the signs on the ecliptic (the path of the sun amongst the constellations, which is the plane of the earth's orbit).

: ̗̀➛ The equator has 15 constellations, and the ecliptic has 13. So why do we have 12 zodiac signs? This is because babylonians divided the ecliptic into 12 equal segments of 30 degrees each thousands of years ago. The ecliptic was divided into SIGNS. 12 constellations were just used to identify where in the sky each sign would be, at the time for ease of astronomical mapping/calculation - it is merely symbolic. This is why Opphiuchus is not the 13th Zodiac SIGN, although it is a constellation.

: ̗̀➛ Another reason why they are not based off the physical constellations is because the actual size of the constellations vary massively in size. Below is a representation of this:

: ̗̀➛ As you can see, Virgo, for instance is huge, and on a literal view overlaps into the next segment because the constellations do not all equally fit a 30 degree division. Yet, we do not give scorpio like 5 days for its season, because the physical constellation does not dictate anything meaningful.

This gives us the tropical zodiac, which is to do with the earth's seasons:

: ̗̀➛ The solstices are therefore reference points for Capricorn and Cancer (tropic of capricorn and tropic of cancer), not the constellations themselves. Accordingly, the spring equinox is marked by Aries (with the sun entering the segment of Aries at 0 degrees until 29), and the autumn equinox by Libra. Even though in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun entering Aries is an autumnal equinox, ithe fact remains it is still about the seasons (i.e. what the sun does, maintaining its universal application).

: ̗̀➛ The precession of the equinoxes, are therefore irrelevant to astrology (and this is why vedic/sidereal is, in my opinion inaccurate). The slow change of the direction of the earth's axial tilt, over around 26000 years, cause a precession of the equinoxes. This means, the segment of the sky that used to be identified by the Aries constellation from the earth's position at the time, is now looking at Pisces. But as we know, astrology has nothing to do with the physical location of the constellations. Vedic astrologers use sidereal positioning, aka taking into account the precession of the equinoxes, yet they still divide the ecliptic in the same way. This causes problems, leading to many branches in vedic because few agree on where aries actually even starts.

The problems with Sidereal positioning - its all about the sun!

✣ As described in my first post ( i'd really recommend u read it ngl lol), astrology is symbolic, and its entire foundation is based off the sun. It is the sun which gives us life -> therefore it represents our vitality, creativity, identity etc (as opposed to the rising sign which is our personality, who we are, etc and filtered through our chart ruler). Everything comes back down to this SOLAR-based system -> equinox to equinox. Nothing to do with the constellations.

✣ Moreover, the signs are grouped into the 3 modalities, which all represent the suns status (symbolic significations are interpretated separately depending on the sign but generally the groups represents what the sun is doing). The sign which it currently objectively is passing through bears no significance. E.g:

-> Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricon = Cardinal = sun is crossing the equator when crossing Aries or Libra. When crossing cancer the sun is moving from setting north to south, and vice versa when going through Capricorn. Moving forward, fresh change. -> Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius = Fixed = sun is in the middle of the season it is in, it is 'fixed' and maintaining. -> Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces = Mutable = sun is transforming by going through the end of its season, undoing and release before the next season starts with the cardinal signs.

✣ Because the position of the constellation depends on where on earth you view it from, there is no obejctive consensus on where Aries even starts. This had led to varying branches of sidereal astrology such as Lahiri, Raman, Krishnamurti Paddhati, and some western takes on Sidereal positioning like Fagan-Bradley. These branches are symptomatic of being overly pedantic by concentrating on the constellations themselves.

✣ Finally, Vic Di Cara is a famous and rare example of a modern day Vedic astrologer who uses the tropical system. Seems blasphemous, but he delves into some irrefutable points on ancient India's use of the tropical system which I will paste below but I really encourage you to read it. Tldr it is still about the sun (surprise suprise):

"The foundational texts of Indian Astrology unanimously and explicitly define the zodiac based on solstices and equinoxes (i.e. tropical). On the other hand, they also unanimously define the nakshatra based on stars (i.e. sidereal). The current difference between the two - the solstices (ayana) and their marker stars - is described as "ayanamsha." Problem: For many centuries Indian astrologers have applied ayanāṁśa to both the nakshatra and the zodiac - fuseing the two and divorcing the zodiac from its tropical anchors. Solution: Reform... which requires patience, clarity, contemplation and humility from all parties."

CRUCIALLY:

I hope this cleared up any confusions on sidereal vs tropical astrology, and has helped informed your decision on choosing which system to use! I will advise, though, not to mix the systems. This is a common belief for good reason; you would not mix two different languages in a sentence.

⋆⭒˚.⋆ zodiac signs as coffee 

capricorn: espresso shot straight to the point and full of energy, capricorns match the vibe of an espresso shot to a T. they're an absolute no bullshit choice and you know exactly what you're getting with a capricorn.

aquarius: dirty chai  aquarius' aren't like the other girls, the same way a dirty chai isn't like the other coffees. chai is the star of the show here, and it's one of those drinks that feels irreplaceable.

pisces: vanilla affogato pisces of course had to be the sweetest coffee known to man, the affogato. unsure if an affogato is a desert or a drink, but like the pisces, we tend to overlook the confusion they cause and just enjoy the saccharine energy they offer.

aries: irish coffee  unsuspecting at first, but packs a punch. like an aries, irish coffee's can come off strong at first but it'll make you feel all warm and fuzzy after a while. spending time with an aries is always a good time.

taurus: caramel macchiato caramel macchiatos, despite not being as common, are well known and popular. like a taurus, they are known for being extremely strong with a hint of sweetness. unreliable and spacey at times, but always enjoyable when you encounter them.

gemini: cold brew with milk for a sign that seems to always be on the go and committing to a million different things, cold brew is a drink equally as adaptable as they are. quick, on the go, and easy to play with proportions, cold brew can be whatever you want it to be, just like the diverse personality of a gemini.

cancer: iced lavender latte  very gentle and an acquired taste, iced lavender lattes not only are a cancer season staple, but represent cancer's perfectly. floral flavors emulate the tender nature of this sign, and iced latte's are my summer coffee of choice.

leo: espresso martini espresso martinis are always the center of attention, just like leos. it's always a fun time when there's one of these around, but not only do you feel intoxicated in their presence, but the added espresso is an energy booster.

virgo: cappucino a comfort drink but still the logical choice. like virgo's, cappuccino's represent focus with the added bonus of a fun little garnish. virgo's always bring a little pizzazz with them despite their serious and passionate nature.

libra: pumpkin spice latte a classic, but with a fun twist. some people hate them, some people love them, no one ever feels neutral about a PSL, or a libra for that matter. despite their reputation, they are both a fun time and a cozy fall vibe.

scorpio: flat white  what the hell even is a flat white? exactly. scorpio's are absolutely the most mysterious sign, you have no idea what's in store. it seems like a pretty upfront coffee drink, but there's an unexpected sweetness to them.

sagittarius: peppermint mocha  a festive drink for the most festive sign! sagittarius' are the life of the party, and born in the lead up to christmas, it only felt right that they are the best holiday drink out there.

felina's astro notes

☆ people tend to ignore the power of saggitarius mars. many powerful figures (good & bad) have their mars in sag but I still don't see many people talking about this placement.

☆ the zodiac sign that is clearly a victim of astrology slanders is cancer. I swear I have never met a "crybaby uwu" cancer in my whole life. I wonder who came up with this whole thing.

☆ after doing my research, I noticed that in most cases asteroid child (4580) shows our character as children & our inner child. I checked charts of people who have a child & I noticed that it does not describe the personality of their child, but their own when they were young.

☆ people with dominant pluto energy (esp. sun-pluto, asc-pluto aspects) can sometimes be accused of doing bad things even though they are innocent. for example, I have strong pluto influence & I was accused of stealing as a child, even if I never did that. it's due to the mysterious energy we give off. we look intimidating & like we are always hiding something.

☆ I've seen many people trying to market perfumes by using zodiac signs to do so, I've even seen popular online magazines using that strategy. in fact, astrology CAN help you find your signature scent, but not that much by using your sun sign. the seventh house in astrology is the significator of fragrance. your venus sign can help you to pick the right perfume too.

☆ if you are confused because your ascendant sign does not describe your appearance, take a look at its degree & don't forget to check aspects to your ascendant. asteroids that are conjunct your rising also make an impact, trust me.

BLVCKROSE is a six member girl group under HYSTERIC MYSTERY. the girls made their debut on may 26th, 2022 with the ep, SEEING RED.

the case of BLVCKROSE is a mystery in the kpop industry. the girls appeared completely out of nowhere, no previous industry experience or tv appearances. public information about their label is little to none. fans have done relentless amounts of research only to come up with nothing. all anyone really knows it’s that BLVCKROSE is a group with talented members and an expensive budget.

despite having zero pre-debut hype, BLVCKROSE made waves during their debut era. debuting with a sultry vampire concept that stood out from the wave of “y2k” and brighter concepts at the time. since the arrival of BLVCKROSE, they’ve solidified themselves as a prominent girl group in the entertainment industry through their music, controversies, and questionable success.

BAEK HYUNAH has always wanted to be a star. she wanted to be like the idols on tv that she looked up to as a child. she wanted to be loved and admired. her eyes were set on becoming an idol. she began to take dance lessons in elementary school, which she excelled in. her teachers called her a natural talent, praising her for her rapid growth and ability to pick up quickly. she took singing, acting and modeling lessons throughout high school until she signed with HYSTERIC MYSTERY.

this is not a known fact among the public but, HYSTERIC MYSTERY was established by hyunah’s father in 2018. he wanted to make his daughter’s dream come true and invested 10 billion won into the company. because of their connection, hyunah is very hands on when it comes to BLVCKROSE, working very closely with creative directors and music producers. she wants everything—the group, their debut, their career—to be perfect and she’ll do anything to make sure of it.

hyunah took on the stage name CHERRY to separate herself. she’s always liked the idea of having an alter ego, pretending to be a different person. cherry is hyunah’s hannah montana. cherry is bold, confident, and fierce, while hyunah is soft, sweet, and silly. she gets a lot of accusations of being rude or bitchy on camera, but she’s a sweetheart outside of her cherry persona.

cherry is the number one target when it comes to favoritism rumors. she isn’t the center of the group, nor is she the most popular member, but she always seems to get the best outfits, the most lines, screen time and center moments. it causes a lot of animosity amongst fans and she gets a lot of unnecessary hate. from an attention-seeker to a “pick me” girl, she can’t seem to catch a break. despite it all, cherry has proven to be a good leader and someone who cares deeply about her career and her members.

CHAO SUJIA was thrusted into the spotlight as soon as she could walk. her life was revolved around singing, acting, and dancing lessons, going to auditions, and performing in front of the camera. she was a working entertainer before she could even spell. her mother was a failed actress, and wanted nothing more than to live her dream vicariously through her only child.

joining PLEDIS ENTERTAINMENT at the age of 15 was sujia’s ticket away from her mother. she enjoyed acting and singing, but she hated feeling suffocated by her mother. it was an easy way out. because it was still entertainment related, her mother had no problems with letting her go. for the first few weeks, sujia felt free and comfortable living away from her mom. but as time went on and trainee life became more serious, she quickly felt the weight of being in the south korean idol industry.

sujia left pledis after two years, which infuriated her mother, but ended up at HYSTERIC MYSTERY after being scouted by a HM’s creative director, jeong misa. she was guaranteed a spot in their upcoming girl group so she had no reason to refuse.

after debuting in BLVCKROSE, sujia has been open about her struggles in this industry. she’s had times where she felt just as trapped as she did when she was with her mother. all the strict schedules, high expectations, and demand for perfect takes a toll on her. she’s been heavily criticized by netizens for publicly speaking about whenever she’s having a difficult time, being told to “stop complaining and be grateful that she’s famous.”

in all honesty, sujia could leave BLVCKROSE and korea all together if she wanted to. her popularity in taiwan outweighs any success she could have in korea, from being a child star to a famous idol. but regardless of her struggles as a member of BLVCKROSE, she’d rather be here than in anywhere where her mother can have easy access.

the life of LIZZIE OH can be described as a glamorized tragedy. her mother passed away when she was young and her relationship with her father is so strained that he barely acts like a parent. her friendships were artificial and her romantic relationships were never stable, but lizzie never showed weakness. she was the girl everyone wanted to be or be with. she was the party girl—always invited out. she hung around older guys, went to college parties when she was in high school, and let herself feel the negative effects of her choices whenever she came back home. everyone knew her as strong, confident, and maybe a little manipulative, but pretty enough to get away with it.

lizzie always had an interest in music but never thought about taking it seriously. she posted youtube covers of some of her favorite songs and wrote a few verses here and there. she was starting her first year of college as a business marketing major when she was dmed by some girl in korea who liked her singing.

she was skeptical, as anyone would be. this girl, baek haena, sent lizzie a message through instagram saying that she saw a video of her singing and loved her voice. she asked lizzie if she could come to korea and be a member of an upcoming girl group, BLVCKROSE. lizzie thought she was being punked but after a few back-and-forth messages and zoom calls, she was on a plane to south korea.

lizzie is a fan favorite among twilights. she’s most biased member internationally and arguably the most popular. she’s the main songwriter for BLVCKROSE, therefore most fans credit the group’s success to her. her personal image stands out amongst the other girls. she presents herself as more provocative than others. her style, her personality, her aura—is more bold and “out there” compared to her members. she’s received her fair share of criticism for her look, but criticism is nothing new to her. this is how she’s always presented herself, even before debuting. nothing’s changed. it’s not an act. lizzie shows confidence and control over herself, and most fans love that about her.

RYULIA PARK is nothing more than a troubled kid from a troubled home. her parents drug are addicts. her entire childhood was spent in between her parents, her aunt, and the state’s custody. on multiple occasions, child protective services would remove her from her parents home in brooklyn, leave her in her aunt’s care in manhattan until the woman decided she didn’t want her anymore, and somewhere in the mix, be sent to psychiatric facilities for her issues.

growing up feeling neglected and unwanted, ryulia learned to take care of herself, but not in the best ways. she hung around bad crowds, got into trouble at school, committed petty crimes, and was on her way to becoming exactly like her parents. when ryulia was 17, she was kicked out of high school for her never ending defiance. this would lead her to be sent to live in south korea with her paternal grandparents.

ryulia was basically forced to join HYSTERIC MYSTERY by her grandparents. since she wasn’t able to graduate high school in america and didn’t care enough to go back to school in korea, they thought that the best career path without a diploma was to become an idol. plenty of idols drop out of high school, it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for her. as a trainee, she was stubborn and argumentative. but she had clear talent and star quality that landed her a spot in BLVCKROSE.

ryulia didn’t want to be an idol but didn’t have much of a choice. it was her relationship with the other members that changed her mind. she felt taken care of by the older girls in the group. they made her feel loved, something she never felt before. she’s been taking small steps to improve herself but it hasn’t been easy. she’s gotten into scandal after scandal since her debut, but none of it has fazed ryulia or her career. from bullying scandals, to being accused of running around with gang members, to drug rumors, to being disrespectful towards others. anything you can think of, ryulia has probably been accused of it. whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter. her overall likability among fans has shielded her from any real repercussions.

as the youngest of two siblings, JANG DOHEE lived her life as a princess. she’s spoiled brat who only had to look at something to get it. her doctor parents spent so much time focusing on their career that they couldn’t physically be there for their children. but what they could do is make them happy by buying them anything they wanted.

dohee’s first language is money. she grew up living in luxurious penthouses, attended the most prestigious schools and has never been told no. she’s never had an issue spending a few million—billion even—won just to get what she wants. it’s how she got into BLVCKROSE after all. after learning that a classmate of hers named baek haena was going to be apart of a girl group, dohee wanted in. her parents invested a lot of money into HYSTERIC MYSTERY to fund the company and ensure their daughter a spot.

being known is BLVCKROSE’s certified rich girl, dohee is constantly getting hit with the untalented allegations. comments saying that doesn’t deserve her spot and isn’t talented enough to be an idol are constant. people love and hate her for it, either being admired for being an “unbothered rich girl” or a “spoiled brat.” dohee has proved that the comments don’t faze her, gaining attention for her clap backs and shady remarks towards netizens.

BAEK HAENA has always lived in her older sister’s shadow (i’m sure you can guess who that is). she’s always envied her. hyunah is self assured and always had all of the attention. haena wanted to be like her, but she also resented her for it. nothing was ever about haena. it was always hyunah, hyunah, hyunah. “what does hyunah want to do?” “what does hyunah think?” everyone’s favoritism towards her sister left haena feeling lost.

she had so much time to herself and to think about what she wanted, but she didn’t. she could never bring herself to fully plan out a future for herself. while all of her friends had career goals of being a flight attendant, nurse, lawyer, teacher— haena didn’t know what she wanted to be. everyone knew what they wanted except her.

becoming a member of BLVCKROSE wasn’t fully haena’s decision. while hyunah was dead-set on becoming an idol, haena was still figuring herself out and exploring possible career paths. their mother suggested that she join the group during a family dinner and hyunah was instantly on board. she went on and on about how fun and unique it’d be to have sisters in the same group and haena had little room to refuse.

haena is more of an underdog in BLVCKROSE—the “underrated” member who deserves a lot more hype, or the member who’s biased out of pity. she doesn’t get much attention from the general public. to many, she’s kind of just there. she isn’t controversial like some members, she doesn’t stand out for her skills like others. haena is right in the middle. she balances out the team, and it seems like that’s all her role will ever be—right in the middle.

the ext. zodiac is DEFINITELY bullshit (they literally try to relate trolls signs to sburb aspects which is so stupid its funny) but i think that it makes more sense to just go off-zodiac entirely since, in-comic kanaya equates trollsigns to names / signatures. and i dont really think it makes sense at all for an entire interplanetary empire to have only 144 available names

i think highbloods just place a LOT of value in genetic lines, and since signs are like lastnames to them they get really fascist about people who might be related to them

basically; ext zodiac is horseshit but thats why i think going off of it is fun

i don't really know what you're referring to other than the part where kanaya seems to assume rose's signature is her sign but the idea that trolls sign their names using their signs is not really a deal breaker to me.

i mean literally look at 'RL' as an example. there are only 325 possible combinations of 2 letters, which is not nearly enough combinations to possibly make 'RL' a useful signifier of one specific individual. because a signature is only one in a list of ways to authenticate a document. even in the real world putting your signature on a document is only really meaningful if someone else witnessed the signing of the document, because there are only so many ways to sign your name, and it's ultimately just a little drawing that anyone else on earth could easily copy if they really wanted to. or like, picture an aristocrat's signet ring, which could be even closer to what we are talking about here. it puts a picture on the document that is supposed to represent the authenticity of the aristocrat's contribution. but if you really wanted, you could copy the picture. and maybe once upon a time - working with a certain level of primitive technology - it would even have worked, but even there you're still ultimately going to have to fall back on the word of certain reliable witnesses, because the signet itself is just representative of something that is inherently more complex.

this is basically how the whole concept of a last name works too. if you want to be especially crafty, instead of just signing with your two initials you could sign with your whole last name, and on the town or city level that might work to distinguish you from all the other Johns or all the other Smiths. but as soon as you scale up to the level of an entire country, let alone an entire planet, it becomes totally useless, and you're always going to have to supplement your first+lastname with some additional information about yourself, like your date of birth. let's think to the most populous countries on earth, where surnames are more monocultural than we're likely to be familiar with in the world's english-speaking countries (and therefore are probably a closer analogue to uniquely-alternian cultural signifiers): something like 8% of people in China have the surname Yang! that's damn close to one in every 10 people you know having the same last name. the name Khan enjoys a similar level of popularity in Pakistan. to say nothing of all the Nguyens in Vietnam: it could be argued that in some respects a system whereby all members of the same caste have an equal 1 in 24 chance to have the same sign - and almost no chance at all to have the same first and last names! - is a hell of a lot more efficient than a lot of the family name systems we've got here on earth!

is 144 a bit on the small side when scaled up to an empire whose indeterminately large population spans almost to the edges of a galaxy? i'm willing to say yes. but even if you make it 244, or 544, or 1044 unique signs, there's going to be double ups, because it's never going to be enough for every living troll to get a sign all to themself. and hiveswap doesn't have to account for an entire galactic empire's worth of trolls, it only has to account for a couple hundred at a stretch! so it should use an alphabet of signs that suits a cast of a couple hundred. obviously for design purposes it makes complete sense that main or named characters all get their own unique signs - but if the rules dictate that sometimes trolls will share a sign, then the background trolls should reflect that reality! or else you're just breaking the rules of your own setting for the sake of upholding what is, in-universe, arbitrary fascist mythology, exactly like i said.

you also have to remember that, as i've already emphasised, the VASTTTT MAJORITYYYY of trolls in this galaxy-spanning empire are gonna be lowbloods, who don't buy into this mythology! so there isn't even a solid lore reason why lowbloods should have more signs to avoid double ups. and i think the comic already gives us a pretty clear image of the way lowbloods are cast aside by the grandiose conventions of alternian identity, in the fact that highbloods are remembered by such distinguished titles as "Spinneret Mindfang" and "Dualscar" and "Darkleer", and yet even the most significant scumbloods in alternian history are just "The Summoner" or "The Handmaid" or "The Sufferer". these names have significance to us, the readers, but in the context of thousands of years and thousands of lightyears of history there's no damn way there was only ever one "The Disciple" or one "The Signless". and while I do understand quite clearly that the concerns of the reader should always outweigh in-universe concerns when it comes to matters of design or writing, in this case i think it would actually be MORE effective storytelling to treat signs the same way. while it would seem significant to US if another troll, unrelated to tavros or rufioh, appeared wearing a Taurus, it would also serve to communicate that all of the sign shit the readers have been buying into this whole time was nonsense, and i think in this case that's the more important message

Personal Information

Birthday: April 28 Zodiac Sign: Taurus Age: 44 years old Profession: Housewife Height: 160cm Weight: 55kg Blood Type: ?? Interests: Chatting Features: Fashion design, clothes styling

Story

Character Details My neighbor, a full-time housewife, who likes to chat with everyone. She once worked for a fashion company as a fashion stylist, and her husband seems to still work for that same company.

Personal Data 1 When she was young, she was apparently a rebellious gyaru from Shibuya, and later had a son. She seems to be a bit troubled recently. She often comes to me for discussion, and even gives me clothes as a thank-you gift...

Personal Data 2 What she once knew as popular fashion is something that today's young people have never even heard of. Despite the generation gap, Tomiyama refuses to admit defeat, and decided to continue to get closer to the youth of today.

Personal Data 3 In order to better understand the younger generation, Tomiyama often asks me for advice, but every time, the topic ends up turning to her own experiences when she was younger. Although there's a lot she still seems unable to understand, I can tell she's really working hard.

Personal Data 4 The first time I met Reo Kamiyama, he quickly demonstrated his dedication to tokusatsu. While Tomiyama doesn't understand tokusatsu, in her nephew Kamiyama, she sees her own younger self pursuing her dreams.

Personal Data 5 Tomiyama always regretted that she failed to be a good daughter for her parents because she was young and rebellious. After becoming a mother, she tried to be a parent who never fought with her son, but it backfired, and she ultimately failed to connect with her son. Facing Kamiyama, she hopes that this time she can truly be a good support figure for him.

Personal Data 6 Kamiyama's audition did not go well. Tomiyama wants to support him, but doesn't know how to get involved, and seems to be at a loss. As it turns out, Kamiyama understands how she feels, but doesn't want to worry her, so he's forcing himself to act indifferently. Both of them hope I'll keep their secrets, but is this really okay?

Personal Data 7 Her successive missteps have made Tomiyama start to reflect on whether she's being too worried and nosy. But her enthusiasm and concern for others are part of her personality, right? I hope she won't worry too much, and realize it's better to be sincerely herself.

Personal Data 8 Tomiyama's concern led to Kamiyama deciding to leave. He realized that he's been too absorbed in his own world, and alienated the people around him. After I talked to him, he finally came around, and returned to his aunt who was waiting for him.

Personal Data 9 Tomiyama and Kamiyama were finally able to honestly express their thoughts to each other. Although Kamiyama's sticking with his decision to leave, this time it's for his own sake, and he's no longer uncertain. As his elder, Tomiyama also sincerely gave him her blessing.

Personal Data 10 Now that Kamiyama left, Tomiyama is back to living with just her husband. She seems to better understand the distance between herself and the youth thanks to this experience. Growth is a subject that both the young and old deal with. Maybe we can all learn more about it, going forward.

Voice Lines

Japanese VA: Atsuko Tanaka | Chinese VA: ChuRong Fan

(As I can only add up to ten audio files per post, I’ll only include the Japanese lines below! Feel free to ask for the Chinese ones, though.)

I'm Kayo Tomiyama~ Can you tell me about what's popular with young people these days?

When I was young, I always spoke my mind without hesitation. I enjoyed my time as a stylist, and I'm still pretty particular about fashion even now!

In age I'm thoroughly an adult, but mentally, I'm not all that different from when I was younger~ But it seems I'm completely out of touch with the culture of today's youth... The passage of time is cruel.

The clothes that I've been giving to you? Ah, they're all samples from Darling's work, so don't worry. But I can guarantee their quality!

Every time I talk to you, I feel younger again~ Huh? I'm too chatty? You're so bad! ... Just kidding~

Seeing that kid, I just can't help but cheer for him. Maybe I see my past self in him?

No way, asking me about Darling suddenly... though now that you mention him, you do resemble Darling when he was your age.
