Celestial Screenshots Destined for Fame, Part 2:

Elizabeth Taylor

All of the information used in this article was taken from her Wiki page/biography. I am a student of astrology and thus all that I have learned in that course deserves the instructor’s credit, along with all the astrologers before him from Vettius Valens to the translators of ancient texts. I thank you for passing on this knowledge and am grateful to receive it. To protect his privacy and name (because what if I’m completely butchering these concepts, lmao) I will keep it to myself. I believe in the importance of giving credit where it is due and thus that is my intention here. I also believe in the right to privacy and thus that is my secondary intention.

🔫I am watching Goodfellas and Henry Hill mentions his soon-to-be wife’s eyes reminding him of Liz Taylor so I did a Google and naturally pulled up her birth chart.

🧚‍♀️The first thing that stuck out to me was the reception between Virgo and Pisces. Of course, I do not know if reception “counts” with the outer planets but the principle remains unchanged. And since Neptune rules Pisces, I think it might have some impact. My notes in the photo explain my reasoning.

🐣Since this is at the fourth/tenth house, it speaks again to the success at a young age. Particularly with the Sun there and the fact the Sun rules Leo, which is the sign her AC ruler Jupiter falls in.

🌸The Venus opposite of her MC stuck out to me immediately upon pulling up a chart, chart— she was well known for her beauty plus she was a child actor (Venus is also associated with youth).

🪷This placement signaled finding career/success at a young age in her case.

🧸Child actress is indicated in her fourth house as well since the Sun is there.

🪩I feel like in a way, she was meant to be famous due to her AC ruler falling in the sign of Leo.

👸🏻I also find it interesting that she has a “fame” degree conjunct Eros in the fifth house of creativity. Venus has the power to do more good here as well, esp. for her chart since it’s a night chart.

🏵️Also her MC falls in Libra, which is ruled by Venus right? Venus in Aries @ 17…. 🦁♌️

🤓As I read her biography on Wikipedia (credit:photo below) and saw her spouses, I thought:

“wow, this looks like my resume, lmao, 🤣🥹. I wonder if her seventh house is ruled by Aries too (like my tenth house is)”

🐯WELLLL… turns out…

{{And this is why I love astrology

And also how I learn it

Through personal relation and connection}}

👩‍❤️‍👨Her seventh house is Gemini, ruled by Mercury which falls at 6 Pisces CO-PRESENT with Mars at 1 Pisces! Mars/Aries/Scorpio=1️⃣

🌋Mars rules the Tower in tarot and so any place in your chart ruled by Mars (Aries+Scorpio) is likely to see a lot of upheavals and frequent change.

🎬 andd four changes of topic is my limit, for the readers sanity ✌🏻

No wonder imposter, Mia and the other pr idiots are eternally single. In my experience men dislike women who blather on about astrology, tarot, angel numbers etc. Again and again on dating shows you see guys turned off because someone is ''too spiritual''.

Very true! I remember one of the husbands on Mafs hating his wife's obsession with crystals.

—Emmalea Russo, "Purity Policing Is Poison to Poetry"

Russo reflects on the cancelation of her forthcoming poetry collection by a small press due to, well, the usual mindless blather about "fascism" I can't be bothered to type out. Apparently there are still, in the year 2023, when even Taylor Swift is listening to Red Scare, squalid little cowards in the world of art and literature who would sell out the immemorial birthright of poetry to ideologues and their ever-accusing finger.

Didn't their mothers tell them that when you point your finger, there are three fingers pointing back at you? For what would the left do without fascism? After slaughtering and tyrannizing poets for a century, the left requires the fascist boogeyman to convince poets that it occupies some moral high ground, as if to say, If you don't let me eat you, he will eat you! I don't want to be eaten by one or another death-cult of the state, however, no matter what pretty humanitarian words it uses to justify itself; I want to enjoy the plurality of life the state will never fully assimilate.

Anyway, I renew my recommendation of Russo's brilliantly apolitical (or cosmologically political) Substack, Cosmic Edges, currently offering a Tarot-, alchemy- astrology-, and theory-informed tour through Dante's Divine Comedy. Like the fascists and the anti-fascists in their world-wasting pas de deux, Dante also knew who was in and who was out; thankfully, as Russo shows, his poem knows much more than that.

I had a brief but highly in depth ornithomancy phase, to the point where I have a small but notable section in my personal library on bird lore (which is similar to, but has no association with, bird law). My favorite thing about it in comparison to astrology, in the scheme of bullshit that is fun to talk about, is that because birds are vastly more regionally specific than stars, there are way more international cultural symbols and stories preserved in bird symbolism. Astrology just kind of got steamrolled into all being this faux Greek thing because of the British empire and astral navigation and colonists. Birds, on the other hand, are really only going to be roughly where they belong. Like in ornithomancy, of course if you are not in Florida and you see a flamingo that’s a notable sign or whatever, but if you want to use it to either help make sense of a chaotic world, or grift someone, or a combination, you’re going to have to involve birds that people are actually likely to have seen. So you get different birds with different symbolism depending on where you are, and a lot of it is shared with local peoples’ stories which makes it a great window to appreciate cultures outside of your own and learn whose land you are on and so-on.

There have been a few contemporary attempts at bird lore based divination. I have an awesome tarot deck that’s inspired by the crows of the Pacific Northwest, which I picked up because it reminded me so vividly of my lovely backyard crow family. I can’t recall where I saw it, but there was also something about pigeon colorations and their meanings, which iirc was arbitrary but very fun. I think there is absolutely something there for people fascinated by birds to make a modern urban bird divination system. It would be so much nicer for me if the random blond ladies at the hippy grocery store blathered at me about how many sparrows and blue jays I’ve seen that week instead of what they can guess about me because I’m a Leo.

It actually bums me out that astrology has persisted through the years as the standard BS divinatory practice that people really buy into, when it so easily could have been ornithomancy instead.

We could’ve had hipster girls trying to predict the minutiae of your life using an intricate chart that details how many herons or crows you’ve seen in the past year. Instead of asking what’s your sign on dating apps people would be like how many birds did you see on your way to work today. I cannot stop thinking about what could have been.

Look who just woke up- is that RACHEL HILSON? No, I must have been mistaken that’s CELESTE from ANIMAL CROSSING. I heard she is 23 and stuck here just like everyone else. Even in the 20’s, they still give off LOVING TO WATCH THE STARS AND SEARCHING FOR CONSTELLATIONS; QUICKLY GETTING EMBARRASSED; NOT ENJOYING LOUD AND CROWDED PLACES impression. They’re known to be quite CLEVER but have a tendency to be SENSITIVE on their bad days.

Gender/Pronouns : she/her

How long have they been in Sydney : in reality a year, in her fake life, Celeste was born on a ship on the way to Sydney

Which suburb do they live in? Tba

Personality description : Celeste is sensitive, calm, and quiet, unlike her brother. She does enjoy quietly reading a book as well as meeting new people and being a tourist guide for them. She also cares deeply about her friends and has a habit of wanting to try to cheer people up whenever she can

Memories of their real life : Well, Celeste for sure remembers she has been an owl - which is deeply confusing on some days - her brother Blathers, he life on the islands and how to work with the tourists there, as she calls the people frequently visiting. Oh, and the other villagers as well, of course

What was their fake life like : 

Celeste was born on a ship on the way to Sydney, Australia, her parents fleeing from their old life into hopefully a better one. Sadyl, her mother did not make it, and only Celeste and her father arrived in Sydney, in the end.

And was their life better then? Well, at least they were free. But Celeste's father never made a lot of money, and on some days it was hard to even bring food on the table

Her most prized possession was a telescope. Not as fancy as the one Celeste had owned in her real life, more like self-build, and she had most likely paid too much of her hard-earned money for it. But it was a telescope, and Celeste could use it to stargaze.

Celeste really wanted to go to university, to study astrology or something like it. But it would cost money Celeste did not have, so, instead, she is working in the shop of the local museum, selling souvenirs and postcards and stuff to the visitors.

What is Precognition - and what is NOT? Part 2

        2 minutes and 34 seconds to read.

        Wednesday afternoon, 14 December 2022.

        What is Precognition - and what is NOT? Part 2

        Here I will review three dreams relating to the inexplicable. All involve fire.

        One dream involves Carol, and another, Marilyn. They are half-sisters on my mother's side.

        One of my earliest vivid dreams regarding what people might call "precognitive" was in 1965 when I dreamt about Carol's toaster catching fire. Even so, my dream was occurring about the same time it was occurring in reality, at her house (while I was at Marilyn's place at the time). It was on 25 September 1965. Carol had thrown her burning toaster into her bathtub with a wet towel around it.

        Part of my dream replayed (with alterations integrating Carol into the narrative) the Beverly Hillbillies episode "That Old Black Magic" - that I had seen on 22 September. It may have been one of my first influences associating astrology with black magic (and evil) in a comedic way, but it was unrelated to the theme of a toaster fire.

        In another dream, as an adult, I rapidly glided from Southside La Crosse to Northside La Crosse about a foot above the streets (taking the same route as if I was walking in waking life) in the late morning. I perceived myself as a flat, two-dimensional being, shaped like a cloverleaf, called a Jargon, about the size of a car. In my dream, I saw the underside of vehicles passing over me without incident.

        Eventually, my dreaming mode and perceptual focus changes, and I appear to be a small presence (like a sentient spark) floating near Marilyn's left shoulder. My size orientation is wrong as if I was not much larger than an insect. The fuse box door is open, and a small fire is inside over one of the fuses in the upper left corner. Marilyn seems surprised at it.

        When I visited Marilyn a few days later in waking life, I learned that a small fire had occurred in that exact location in the fuse box. Precognition? No, because it happened around the same time. What was the point of the first segment with the two-dimensional "Jargon" entity (especially considering the nature of it being an English word and not something foreign)? It was probably just a pointlessly surreal imaginary event as a precursor to a different mode of dreaming.

        On the night of the day that I went with Jim (half-brother on my mother's side) to visit his friend Niles to look at his computer games, Niles died in an unusual fire. The insulation somehow caught fire, supposedly from exposed wiring. In my dream (that occurred during the event), the Loomis Street house (where I was sleeping) was superimposed over his. I saw the fire burn unusually along the ceiling. My mental voice noted this as if I was describing it without emotion. The newspaper article that reported the event mentioned how the ceiling burned unusually (though likely because of the insulation).

        The last part may seem like precognition (especially as the news article's wording was the same). However, consider that the person reporting the event may have somehow picked up on what I was thinking earlier (regarding my thoughts corresponding with the fire) even though the real-world details were also a factor. There is no legitimate way to know for sure (regarding timing or who influenced who or what information came from where).

        So far, I have reviewed five inexplicable experiences that could not have been solely coincidental. There are thousands more that I hope to review and examine more closely. None of them are similar to the generic childish blather that many people propagate - which pains me on some levels because I know they are not very bright - and their mindless blather is an embarrassment to Zsuzsanna and me.

        In the first part of this series, I mentioned that many ignorant people claim that you "cannot read" in dreams, which is untrue (like virtually everything I read about dreams). Regarding this entry, there were people who came to me a few years ago saying how "amazing" I am because I can dream of fire (although this person seemed mentally disabled, to be honest - like many who approach me as such). Yes, believe it or not, many people claim a person "cannot dream of fire." I am supposed to put faith in humanity's "intelligence?" No, absolutely not.

WRÓŻBITA MACIEJ JEST GEJEM?!??!?!?!

[unofficialdigby]

Happy Birthday Celeste! 

Make a wish today, because it’s Celeste’s birthday! This delightful owl is Blathers’ baby sister, and she is a huge fan of astrology! She is absolutely starstruck, by actual stars! She loves to follow meteor showers, wishing and enjoying the night skies! Wish her a great birthday if you see her, and enjoy a star filled night!

Fun fact: Celeste is a lesbian! In City Folk, when the player says “you’re adorable”, she will blush and compliment a female player back, but if you’re a male player she becomes distressed and accuses you of teasing her! Plus, she’s lesbian flag color themed, so you can fight me on this.

✧ Bang Chan ⇢ STAY Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Crisp Ringleader

Okay family

As our ENFJ king Chan would totally have a island that revolved around the others 

Sure he’d have his own space too

But he’d def be one to put up lots of fun camping space and interactive inventions

A cute little barbecue grill on the beach with a wooden table and log benches 🥺🥺 and a picnic area too

I feel like he’d also go out of his way to breed black roses but that may just be me 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Black and white flowers everywhere, and maybe some red roses too?

He’d also be a generous donator and frequently visit the others to see if anyone needed help with anything

Just stopping by to check in and drop off some hardwood, or iron, maybe even gold 

...That’s a big maybe on the gold cause we all know that stuff ain’t common and if you want Marshal on your island you better have some handy

In addition to this, I think that the generosity would only go so far and he’d be quite the tease too

Running around left and right ratting the others out during pranks and “borrowing” things from the others

“where’d my recipe for gold armor go???”

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ “idk bro I think I saw Minho running off with it?”

For villagers, he’d have a plethora of the animal kingdom on his island

Anyone is welcome

You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit 🥴

He’d def have mentions of Stay on his island too

And the guys, his squad

A Stay flag and Stray Kids written in the sand somewhere

Maybe vice versa

His character would likely be of similar resemblance but I can totally see him playing with the fun hair colors and face paint 

His wardrobe would consist of similar attire too: black, white, caps, hoodies, and chains 

Y’all AC fans know that one punk outfit with the chains across the bodice? He’d own that

His home is a toss up: on one hand it could be very chill and cozy, but on another I’m seeing workout gear in one corner and iron tables and a TV and radio going, maybe (definitely) a music studio setup (similar to Weber’s home but more hardcore LMAO)

All in all, I think Chan would be a chill/causal player that would be happy to help his friends and community while also playing hard ball once in a while just to mess with everyone 😂♥️

✧ Lee Minho ⇢ Soodori Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Total Genius

Soodori is a combination of Minho’s cats

Your boy Minho couldn’t resist the ingenious idea

He’d pondered for the longest time which of his precious babies was going to be awarded the title of his island; an impossible decision

Then along comes our creative leader, “why don’t you just use all three?”

‼️‼️‼️

Genius!1!1!!1!1 😩✨

On Soodori, you bet all the villagers are cats; if you don’t have pointy ears and a swishing tail, Access Denied 🙅🏻‍♀️

This means you, Han 

Villagers included would consist of Raymond, who may or may not be an island celebrity

And let’s not forget Queen Ankha

But to Minho, all his cat citizens are equally loved and cherished as a valid part of the community

His whole aesthetic would be cats too

That includes a cat cafe

His flag would probably be a paw print 🐾 or his cat’s names, maybe a cute scribbling of their faces

And if you disrespected that, there’d be blood to pay

I can see his character closely resembling him as well, with a little paw print on his cheek? Maybe some whiskers? 

He’d thoroughly enjoy visiting the others islands “if he absolutely had to”

Swipe some goods

And bundle them up to go on the plane out ✈️

For the most part, I see him being more of a hermit on his island that only heads out On Demand

Even then, it’s kind of a toss up: good luck getting him to leave his children behind 

If you’re nice to him, he MIGHT let you come and view the splendor...m a y b e

But you better not touch or take anything 🗿🔥

Shoot, when it came to special visitors, like Redd or K.K., he’d probably try chasing them off

Put those tools to use

There’s more than one way to skin a cat

(Don’t tell him I said that tho 👀💧)

✧ Seo Changbin ⇢ DARK Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Music-Loving Loner

Dark, dark, dark

We all done knew, didn’t we?

Changbin is the KING of darkness

So it goes without saying that his whole island would radiate the stuff, too

It may seem depressing and a little emo at first, but eventually the concept comes off being pretty cool

...In an angsty, Evanescence sort of way

He’d probably be very lost on how to play at first...at first

He’s got Felix and Chan to help him tho, so he’d be breeding black flowers before you know it

Maybe a little gray and navy blue tones to break up the solidarity somewhere

I’m seeing a kind of night sky aesthetic, maybe some astrology furniture???

Look out, Celeste

She’s gonna be running to Big Brother Blathers saying some scary short guy is following her around the woods

Poor Binnie just wants a Starry Sky wall...until he sees how bright it actually is

Then it’s 💯 a fat pass

Binnie would kindly welcome all sorts of villagers while being minorly selective

After all, we can’t break the darkness with some cheery-idol-wannabe villager, or some Judy the anime bear

I can say with utmost certainty at 95% that his whole wardrobe would be black caps and hoodies

Maybe a plain black tee

Some black pants

And 

White or black sneakers 🥴✨

I think he would be pretty intent on building up his island...in particular, collecting all the artifacts and critters for the museum 

He’d work hard but not go crazy or stress about it and still take lots of time to just chill in his deep dark vibes

Maybe get out once in a while to visit Felix and learn a thing or two

Overall, we see through your front, Bin; you may have a dark vibe but you’re really just a small big softie ☺️

✧ Hwang Hyunjin ⇢ Kkami Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Soothing Season

Welcome to Kkami Island, which was almost named something else aesthetically cute like Honeycomb or Applepuff

However, like Minho, Hyun simply couldn’t resist a chance to use his precious baby’s name

On Kkami, life is pretty chill: EXCEPT WHEN ITS SERIOUS 🔥

That’s right folks

This boy may have some vibing days and go at his own pace

But don’t be fooled: he plays to win

Plant those money trees

Enter those QR codes

Carve out those pathways

Where is Blathers we have a donation 😤😤

Hyunjin would be a steady-paced worker bee 🐝 

He’d likely be selective of his villagers and go for cute ones

Possibly top to secondary tier

When it came to games and get togethers, you’d likely find him chasing another member with a net or an axe, in most cases Jisung

“qUiT LEaViNG TrASh oN mY iSLaNd!!1!1!1!” 💢

“DROP THAT DIY!1!1!1!!1”

Let’s see

His whole island aesthetic would be cute and peaceful:

Plants, terrariums, soft sunlight...

There’d be so many flowers!!! Hyunjin would have a whole colorful flower field 🥰🌸

White and wooden furniture in and around the home

An adorable tea and snack time plaza too! And a library!!! 📖✨

Very cozy and sweet ♥️

Though, shoot, if he had the energy, this guy may just build himself a palace... 🏰

Regardless, just look for the boy with the staple headband and likely some face paint to boot

✧ Han Jisung ⇢ Swag HOT Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Trendy Supreme Being 

(Edit: Minho convinced Felix to hack his account and changed this to Untossable Trash)

Ohhh boy

I bet y’all were waiting patiently for this one

Or maybe you jumped right to it

Either way here we go:

Han Jisung would be the king of the trash heap

And by that I mean this guy would save up all his bells and buy himself a crown 👑 where he’d sit atop a throne of garbage

BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE TRASH EVERYWHERE SIS 😩😩

This guy would be yeeting furniture and garbage all over the place

...Okay maybe that was a bit overdramatic 

Maybe not EVERYWHERE...

......

...It’d be pretty messy tho

He’d probs have traps set up too

You step off the plane and get catapulted into the ocean, if that were a thing

You’d have to navigate and hop around discarded junk for sure

He’d have clothes here, a fan there, a...urinal...on the beach???

.........o k a y ._.💧

Han Jisung wouldn’t be all that competitive when it came to gathering every fruit or collecting all the fish

He doesn’t have the patience for that

He needs to run around and be free, letting his mind wander while wrecking havoc for everyone else; which is also Minnie’s job but we’ll get to that later

For villagers, he’d have at least one squirrel or two (Marshal?! :D) but I’m not so sure it’d really matter...all that much?

I’m not sure he’d even want many villagers at all

He’d be spending most of his time crashing other member’s islands and leaving little surprises like a useless DIY they already have or a fake painting he got roped into buying bc he was too lazy to check if it was genuine =_=

Everyone got sick of it pretty quickly but no one like Minho or Hyunjin; he’s permanently banned from those two locations and Jeongin’s considering adding him to the list next

Despite there being so much junk, his house would have an almost decent vibe: lots of instruments and fun gear, along with some random clothes, a lava lamp, and...another urinal 🗿💧

Seriously, someone get this boy a closet and some coaching in organization

Chan and Changbin are working on hiring Minnie but it’s not going too well; for one he charges too much

Maybe you can talk some sense into him...

Passport Title ⇢ Festive Chum

Okay y’all

Felix

Would be

THE KING

OF ANIMAL CROSSING

THIS BOY WOULD HAVE

ALL THE FRUITS!!! 🍎🍐🍊🍒🍑🥥

ALL THE FLOWERS!!!🌷🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻

I MEAN EVERY COLOR OF EVERY COMBINATION

A COMPLETED MUSEUM 🖼 🐜 🐠

I MEAN BEFORE ART WAS ADDED, HE HAD EVERYTHING RARING TO GO

NINTENDO WAS LIKE “wtf?!”

YEAH SIS, HE’S THAT GOOD

Boy would have a five star island all sorted into perfectly measured categories

An amusement park, a picnic area, a freaking ranch probably 🐮

Some awesome neighborhood for his tier one villagers with a YMCA down the street

A fancy one at that

I mean this boy would have it all

Expect a competitive softie that really just wants to have fun but like

He’s gonna win too lmao

He’s got his Nook Miles program all maxed out

When playing with the others, he comes up with really creative solutions when faced with a crisis

That’s because this smart cookie knows the ins and outs of the game

There was one time where he fenced Jisung in like the creepy Easter bunny and left him for ded oop

That was a bad day for Jisung and a hilarious day for everyone else

He felt bad about it but he also wanted that Subway gift card 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Each day is a new hair color for Felix

Sometimes every few days or a week

He sometimes likes to synchronize it with his current hair color but

Experimenting is also fun

Face paint too! 🌈 He chooses a warpaint print he found on Pinterest, for days when the gang gets together for a game of tag or bug catching contests

Even if he doesn’t win, Felix always makes it into the Top 3

And he has a lot of fun doing so! 😊

He’s just one heck of a gamer is all

And his whole aesthetic shines brighter than the sun T-T ☀️

✧ Kim Seungmin ⇢ Seungmin’s Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Radiant Boy

Like Felix, Seungmin would be an ace at AC

He wouldn’t get everything right off the bat

But he’d put in a logical tried-and-true effort, and once he got the ropes and found his groove, my oh my

This boy would have it all

Sophistication ✨

Class ✨✨

Flair ✨✨✨

He’s got a plethora of fruit and stylish attire too

And his aesthetic is so simple but chic

He’s got this whole clean and polished vibe

Lots of artwork and creativity

He’s even got traps that look like fancy furniture

Those are mainly for Han Jisung tho

That oughta teach him to quit nosing around and taking his DIYs <_<

One time he tried stealing a few apples for Swag HOT Island

Didn’t go well sis...

He made it to just outside the pier before getting lost in the hedge maze by Cafe Seungmin

After that Seungmin closed him into a corner as punishment and wouldn’t let him out until he dropped the Apple

But Jisung was feeling pretty prideful that day so he ate it instead 🗿💧

Anyway

This guy would def make a character that looks just like him!

Would he try new hair colors and face paint? ...Maybe

It seems like a sorta-Seungmin thing to do

Seungmin would wanna be the best of the best while still staying true to himself, so you’ll likely see tier one and two villagers that he particularly fancies

Fancy you, fancy me 🥳✨💃🏻🎶

He’d also be one to go around admiring the chaos from the background while occasionally becoming the chaos

Kinda like the Cheshire Cat 😅

When challenging the others to an art contest (who could buy the most expensive artifact from Redd without using the internet) he switched some of the other members paintings while they were distracted by a meteor shower

“Look, a shooting star! And another one!”

“Make a wish.”

“How do I do that?!”

“Tilt your camera towards the sky and press A.”

“I’ve got my camera app open and it’s just taking photos???”

“Not you CAMERA camera—“

“Hey! Chan hyung, Minho just stole my star!!!”

“I didn’t see your NAME on it...”

“Don’t fight, you can each have half!”

“That’s not how it works at all...”

...Anyway

It was pretty comical until Changbin had to say something, about the art that is

Then Minnie had to bounce before the angry shovels and nets caught up to him

“Hey!!! Why is my painting on Minho’s side???”

“Why is everyone attacking me???”

“Oh, Hyunjin has my painting...”

“I do not! ...Oh hey I do? Why’d you put it over here?”

“I DIDN’T!”

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

...

🛫 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Poor Minnie just wanted to have some fun amongst the confusion 😔

But

When it gets right down to it, you better believe this boy would be an aesthetic and skillful player ✨

✧ Yang Jeongin ⇢ Go Away Island ✧

Passport Title ⇢ Mistakingly Caught Son

Go Away Island means just what the title intends: go away :)

Initially, Jeongin was prepared for what he senior members would do

He knew there would be much anticipation to visit the 막내’s island and drive him crazy

Sometimes, he doesn’t mind it

But others he just wants to be left alone and do his own thing

When he started the game, it was one of those days

So he wanted to make the message clear 😤😤

Also, Don’t Bother Me seemed to be too long 🤷🏻‍♀️

Go Away was straight to the point ;D

Anyhoo

On Go Away, you’ll encounter lots of cute characters 💓

Innie has a very cute and true-to-himself aesthetic

He doesn’t understand much of the mechanics but he’s working on it okay?

And he’s getting better every day!

Okay, so like, sometimes he’ll allow Chan to come over and help

Or Felix or maybe Seungmin if he promises to be genuine and behave

But like

The rest of the members are semi-banned

Hyunjin gets a pass if he whines enough

Or he’ll come up with a crafty excuse to come over

“Innie, look! I got peaches on my island! Don’t you want one? They’re cute like you! 😩❣️”

...He could do without that last embarrassing remark but okay sure

He really did want those peaches for his picnic garden 😔✊🏻

In terms of hair color? We’re on a rotation like Felix

We’re trying lots of hair colors

And a few aesthetic designs, too!

Jeongin is very resourceful when it comes to QR codes, something Felix and Seungmin taught him

He uses them to set flowers and stones pathways everywhere

And an especially prominent one leading to the door 👉🏻🚪

Blathers

Hard to pin down age wise. Probably a little older than Isabelle, so late 30s?

I love the detail that he came to the island because him and Nook we're friends, so I'm keeping it. They worked at the same university for a while or something

Finds it difficult to keep friends because he really does blather on and on. But honestly Brewster and Nook are all the friends he needs, they can both listen to him for hours

Tommy secretly looks up to him a lot, but is a big bug fan and doesn't want to freak him out with bug facts. It's actually the reason Blathers comes around to a few bugs eventually

Isabelle is far too polite for her own good and will often (like twice a week at least) get stuck in hours long lectures accidentally. She's too nice to hold a grudge but deep in her soul she avoids him like the plague

He hates bugs because he has an older brother who used to use them to scare him. He eventually comes around to ladybugs but ladybugs ONLY

The ages don't really line up for Celeste to be his little sister, so I'm changing her to be his niece.

Celeste

About 13 years old

Originally only came to the island when she needed a babysitter, but comes more and more frequently when she gets closer to the twins

Of course, super smart and super interested in space. She wants to be an astrophysicist one day

Believes in astrology and brings it up often purely to annoy Blathers

Because she believes in astrology and knows everything about it she's very popular among the Bad Bitch Squad (Colton and Audie)

Loves giving book recommendations and is VERY good at it. She knows you're a bitch for found family and will give you a book that will heal your trauma

Also has trouble making friends her age. She's very excitable and kind of awkward, so she doesn't do great around teens, but she gets along really well with kids who are younger than her

Daughter of aforementioned older brother of Blathers. She both takes after him in loving to annoy Blathers and doesn't actually get along with him that well. She wouldn't say it but she actually prefers the island to home.

Dr. Pierce’s Book of Fortune, 1937   --- Libra horoscope

@vintage-tech asked for my analysis of this Libra horoscope thing. My insights are based on opinion and balancing out what I’ve read from different quacks and my own experiences. Your mileage may vary, don’t void your bladder where prohibited, etc.

Lots of blather and a transcription of the images’ text at the end. Forgive me on the formatting, both in transcript and this whole mess of a post. I have too many thoughts and not enough organization

This sounds somewhat typical of different Libra interpretations I’ve seen.

“medium size, well-muscled, and graceful”

good health “but not very robust”

“kidney ailments”

(3/5) Medium height (not width), have been called graceful in the far-past. Partial credit there. Decent health, sure. Kidney ailments, yesssss. And that’s a thing I’ve heard before.

See, there’s an “alignment” of different body parts to different signs. “Sexual Astrology” by Joanna Martine Woolfolk (1979) notes these regions as erogenous zones. From what I’ve discussed with folks, the template fits. I’ve also seen it applied as “health troubles”, though I’m less certain about that correlation. (Don’t harp on me about a source on that image. I don’t have the patience to track it down right now, and it’d probably take foreeeever.)

In my experience, the kidney and/or bladder problems has been a thing. But I’ll also posit that I’ve had a lot of lower back muscle pain, as well, in the past.

“work carefully”, “conserve energy”

plan ahead

like to lead, and others will join

(3/5) Yes and no to all of that. Experience and mental health has shaken some habits and cemented others. I don’t make strict plans, but going without a plan is scary. Sometimes planning and such is a way to avoid a situation, too.

I don’t mind “leading” a small group of friends, but I know the perils of group projects. I might’ve been more inclined to these things when I was younger, before dealing with high school etc. It’s the “people pleaser” side of me, because I don’t want to be rejected.

logical mind

foresight, intuition

“persuasion, rather than by force”

“broad-minded and tolerant” in social situations

(4/5) Anxiety has ruined my logic, but I do go through many steps of (sometimes irrational) thought as I think my thunks. Foresight and intuition can also mean being observant and figuring out that step-A leads to step-B. That said, the few really strong gut feelings I’ve gotten haven’t been wrong. Especially when I’ve ignored them. *eye roll at self*

Definitely have been “broad-minded and tolerant”, even before being exposed to bullies. Still trying to do better, and I know I’ve improved over the years. Again, it can stem from wanting acceptance from others.

“good writer or speaker”

“warm-hearted and kind”

“sensitive to what others think of you”

“will make and keep many friends”

(3/4) All of these are very accurate, except for the keeping friends part. It could be my own mental health (eg social anxiety), moving around over the years, and/or realizing some people aren’t as appealing as they used to be - even if the relationship was good.

When I see the other person is no longer putting in the same amount of effort, I withdraw. But, in the past, I’ve put in more effort than I should have. So that was kinda doomed. Again, “people pleaser”.

“get on well in married life”

easily see multiple sides to a situation

“like and understand children”

(2/3) I’ve had a relatively easy time in relationships, but they’ve also been few and far between. Communication and understanding what I/we want have been my/our hurdles. There’s an autism-spectrum element that sometimes makes understanding other people tough, but I have been able to see different sides to things. The less a situation personally impacts me, the more sides I can see.

The children thing is less a nurturing side and more “these people are friendly”. Some of it’s autism-related, some is empathy regarding how helpless kids can feel/be. I never related well to my same-age peers, and adults loved my “old soul”. But I also know I would not feel comfortable having a young child rely on me.

“born diplomat”, ass-kissing while at least partly sincere

“fond of society”

“popular with the opposite sex”

“good wives and mothers”

bad at business

(4/6) I like to socialize, though it can be very draining, and shallow relationships are not fulfilling. Libras “are known to flirt” and be sensual or romantic, according to other sources. I think it’s a desire to feel wanted - especially as tied with the stereotype of libras liking “luxury” or “fine arts” etc. “I don’t need this person in my life to survive, but they are a delight to be around.” (Broken record: “people pleaser” again.) I do love to flirt, even pretend-flirting, where we both know nothing more will happen. It’s a safe-ish form of adrenaline rush.

The “good wives and mothers” thing feels double-edged. (This counts as 2 points.) Like, I can’t function as a wife or mother in ways that keep the day running, that keep life flowing. I have the emotional capacity, though. I’ve fondly imagined myself as being the “confidant aunt” to people, regardless of actual family connection. (I am not close to my nieces/nephews, but that’s not also a literal physical distance thing.)

Bad at business? I would cite that they mean the “more likely to buy impractical luxuries that spark joy, rather than buy a sturdy and practical necessity” stereotype. I’m bad at business for DIFFERENT reasons, sir.

-----------

Overall: 19/28 - Decent analysis, not as “accurate” as more recent publications. “First and last paragraphs” are only partial “bunk”.

I’ve got my own baggage that hinders this analysis. Can’t quite separate symptoms from traits, especially as my demeanor changes over the decades. Some of this also took “reading between the lines” to gather what they meant, to connect to stereotypes said in later analyses. 

This vintage libra analysis seems mostly like other examples I’ve read. The notes of being a good mother (not father?) feel out-of-place. Just that I haven’t seen them in other analyses. Plaid-dad is also a libra, and he has always been doting and supportive. He also gets along with kids so well, and I’ve observed that all my life.

One of my libra friends, Jodee, used to work with kids. She’s was like a big sis to me right from the start of our friendship, and she’s like that with her other friends. I’ve seen libras have big hearts, sometimes not knowing how to channel all the love they want to give to others. (Different forms of love, I mean, too.)

Logical and business-related notes are also unfamiliar. The stereotype is often that libra is more dreamy and romantic, at the expense of practicality and reality. “Champagne and caviar dreams”, as the saying goes. Indecisiveness is another big stereotype. Seeing the different sides and options can be a drawback.

The article is 80+ years old, so it makes sense that some of the stereotypes have changed. Perhaps later economic booms brought some of them to the front? Societal priorities also changed, along with expectations and roles that we might acknowledge, even if we don’t embrace them.

[Transcription start]

Libra - September 24 to October 23

The compensated sign of Libra, the Balance, controls your fate. If you are typical of the Libra people, you will be of medium size, well-muscled and graceful. Your health is good but not robust. You are likely to suffer from kidney ailments, if care is not exercised.

You work carefully, conserving your energy. You must plan each step before you take it. You like to lead in any enterprise, and can make others join you.

Your mind works logically and accurately. You have foresight and some intuition. You get what you want by persuasion, rather than by force. You are broad-minded and tolerant of social and religious matters.

You are a good writer or speaker. You are warm-hearted and kind. You are sensitive to what others think of you. You will make and keep many friends.

You will get on well in married life, because you can see the other side to every question. You like and understand children perhaps better than the people of any other sign.

The men of Libra are born diplomats. Many of them become statesmen, politicians, salesmen, and managers of big enterprises. The women are fond of society and usually popular with the opposite sex. They are good wives and mothers, but rarely succeed in the business world.

[crossed-n-imal]

I've started pondering the animals' zodiac signs. With nothing else to do but play the stalk market during the day and fight spiders at night, it's been a pretty decent pastime.

Bonbon is definitely a Leo. She's a popstar, or she was. When I met her, I was doing the usual, hunting for bugs and fish on a random island that can only be described as not mine, and there she was. Amongst the bamboo, she was just sort of milling around. I invited her to live on Spearchuck and the rest is history. But I thought that Bonbon would be humble or shy, because she's a rabbit, and back home those things can have heart attacks just from being picked up. But this one wants to be a million things, and really only talks about her personal brand and how she has to stay fit or try new things or see new sights for her fans. Bonbon is very sweet though, she always welcomes me into her home, and she's happy to chat. So it doesn't bother me.

Cyd is an Aquarius. He's weird as hell, and generally pretty laid back unless something is bothering him. He gives off the typical air sign aloofness but he's got great fashion sense and he's a lovely guy. A mysterious one too, because I don't know how he got here, he and his house just showed up one day??

Kabuki is probably a Pisces. He be writing poetry and sh*t, and really lives for peace. He loves his bonsai shelf and sticks to his aesthetic, and he seems to love deep-thinking and daydreaming. He's probably one of the coolest people (? creatures?) I've ever met, even though he laughs at my wasp stings. Same with Kit (being a Pisces, I mean. She's not f*cking rude). She's really sweet and loves nature and exploring the island, but she's kind of withdrawn. She's shy in the same way she's outgoing, and I want to be her friend but I'm not always sure how.

Tammy is probably a Taurus. Tammy was here when I got here, and she's been here ever since. She's real punk, and she does her own thing, always calm no matter what, and ready to deal with what comes her way. Something about her is so...solid. I actually admire Tammy a lot.

Tank is just loud and friendly and probably a Sagittarius. I say that because he just lets stuff happen. He's never worried, he just works out and fishes and hopes for the best, and it seems to work for him, if the weight lifting he does in the plaza is any indication.

Clay is probably an Aries. He just kind of goes with the flow and he can be encouraging but self-absorbed. He's most responsive when he's getting something, and that's fine with me. Some people are just like that. What can you do?

Annalise is most like a Cancer. She seems really nurturing and sweet, but a little anal about the order of her things or the timing of activities. She's never been mean to me, but she's a horse, and I can see the stress veins in that long ass neck.

I'd bet my life Marshal is a Scorpio. He's broody, creative, and mysterious. He's a joy to be around, but he definitely gives off "romance poet dying of distemper in the 1800s" vibes.

Last and definitely fucking least, I'm not sure what sign Rex is. He's a complete idiot but also quick to anger, so maybe he's an Aries. Who the hell else would be convinced that everyone likes them on an island where he purposefully gets pushed into pitfalls? A complete buffoon and a certain fire sign, that's who.

The people that do business on our island are another story. I think Timmy (or Tommy, whichever one is quieter) is a Pisces or an Aquarius. His brother is so in charge we're probably looking at a Gemini or a Capricorn. If Tom Nook isn't a damn Capricorn, I will eat my own hand. He's set in his ways, business savvy, and money hungry. Probably an Earth sign, as he can stay put on his ideals. Isabelle is for sure a Libra. She is definitely willing to stand up for those in need, but other than that, she's just...joyous. All the time.

Blathers is a fucking Virgo. He's picky as hell and will talk forever about shit he likes. A total nerd about certain subjects. Celeste, his sister, is probably a water sign. A Cancer, maybe? She's smart but she's kind of a hopeless romantic when it comes to astrology.

Lastly, the Able Sisters. Let me just say, that Sable is my favorite. She's such an adorable little hedgehog, and she's very shy, and I just want to protect her. So she's probably a Pisces too. But Mabel is very in charge, so she's a Leo or a Virgo or something outgoing. They're both lovely. I could've just asked them all their signs, but talking to everyone would make me tired. And I would never ask Rex because I hate him more than anything else. Ever. And so I just sat around and guessed instead of being social. Which sounds exactly like something I would do. Maybe I'll ask Mr. K.K. his sign the next time I see him? I can't seem to pin him down.

[ceremonialmagic101]

I couldn’t find much using the search function. I would love to hear you guys take, resources, or experiences with working with dead or mythical magicians of old. If you don’t mind. Thanks.

Working with Dead & Mythical Magicians

There’s easily four ways to work with dead magicians, Anonymous.

The first and most obvious way is to Read Them. Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, the author of Picatrix, Francis Barrett, Giordano Bruno, Franz Bardon, Eliphas Levi, Johann Trithemius of Spondheim, John Dee, Edward Kelley, the Theban magician of the Greek Magical Papyri, and others left us a copious body of reading material that’s worth delving into at length. For the more geomantically-inclined, there's Gerard of Cremona and Pietro D’Albano; for the more astrologically-inclined, there's numerous Ben Dykes translations of Mashallah and Sahl and Bonatti.  Each of these wizards left behind at least one volume of written material, often translated into many languages; and reading them gives us ideas about how they worked, what they used, and what techniques gave them the capacities to do what they did.  In the cases of mythical magicians like Merlin (or Gandalf, or Philemon, or Tiresias, or even Albus Dumbledore), there’s no body of written material that can be said to come from them — but there are records of their feats and capacities, and it is often possible to reason backwards from final results to initial capacities, to guess at what their powers were and how they might have achieved those results (Merlin, in the earliest versions of his stories, demonstrates at the least the makings of a first-rate mind trained in categorical thinking, for example... among other things). There are other magicians, such as the Solomonic or Grimoiric magicians, who didn’t leave behind a name, but did give us their procedural workings.

The second way to work with dead/mythical magicians is to Imitate Them. A good many magicians left behind procedural records of how to do specific magical operations, and the tools and techniques necessary to perform them.  We may not be able to construct their experience exactly, but 1) we can certainly try, and 2) it’s often possible to do so with a scaled-down version of their tools and techniques, such as paper talismans instead of ones cast in solid gold; robes of cotton instead of linen; a store-bought knife instead of a personally hand-forged one; and so on. The experimentation is part of what brought them success and skill — it’s a thing worth imitating, especially when they took the trouble and risk to write the thing down and put their name on it (and in some cases died for doing so).  This process of imitation includes the act of writing out their directions, instructions and philosophies, in your own handwriting where possible — the act of physically copying out their words in some sense alerts their spirit to the fact that someone is trying to reach out to them.  It gives you an ‘in’ with them, that you’re trying to replicate their work.

The third way to work with dead/mythical magicians is to Conjure Them. This involves having a procedure for conjuring spirits (such as Francis Barrett’s translation of the Johann Trithemius operation (usually titled “The Art of Drawing Spirits Into Crystals” and abbreviated DSIC), and communicating with them, such as a Tarot deck, spirit board/ouija board, geomancer’s sticks, or i Ching.  This sometimes involves a) teaching the dead magician your language by leaving a dictionary open in the room during the conjuration, and b) developing a standard list of questions you ask each time — e.g., who are you, what is your name, how are you, how do I know it’s you, in the name of God do you swear you are [the entity], what are your office hours, what can you teach me, what do I pay for your teaching, and so on.  Some of these questions are intended to be confirmatory; some are polite initial greetings. It’s essential to record these answers in a book in your own handwriting — don’t get all fancy and digital here; take the trouble to write it down in your own handwriting.  Please God, don’t be stupid about this.  Once you have a regular practice of visiting them during their office hours, you will find that it’s easier to do the fourth way.  

The fourth way is to Shut Up And Listen. Once you have a regular practice of talking to dead magicians, and asking them for assistance in learning magic and spells, you’ll find that you will get better results if you’re not talking all the time.  Ask a general question, and then listen for the answer.  If they stop, don’t immediately jump into the next question. Wait for that initial question’s answer to ramble to its end... and then don’t rush int the next thing.  THey’ll say something like, “you know, that reminds me of a story,” and there will be a long and rambling story (which you should write down, in your own handwriting, damn it!) which will have several additional insights.  In other words, let these elder magicians talk, and let their thoughts go where they will.  You will learn much more by shutting up and listening to them (especially when you’ve gone to all this trouble to conjure them, and doing so more than once), than just blathering about Instagram or how to get back at Jayden for that thing he said to you last week.  You want their advice, their knowledge, their skill? You gotta listen for it, and recognize that it will not all come out on the first visit.

The subtle among you will have already noticed that these four methods correspond to the Four Powers of the Sphinx, outlined by Eliphas Levi in The Doctrine and Ritual of High Magic: to Know, To Do, To Dare, and To Keep Silent.    But just for the sake of beating you all over the head with it, there it is.  If you want to learn how to work with dead magicians, start with learning some of their core teachings, and be prepared to talk with them in the terminology they themselves understand and use.

I've been having really upsetting dreams lately, and my parents mentioned the same thing has been happening to them. Is there some transit(s) that could be doing this? BTW I love your blog! It's been a really great resource for learning astrology!

Thank you so much!

I’ve been thinking for a while that Neptune’s transit through Pisces has been doing a number on all of us. Ever since 2012, we’ve had a steadily decreasing grasp on what’s really real - “Fake news,” as the Dolt 45 cultists are wont to blather, but it’s a good symptom. Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout.

Anyway, for dreams and dreaming, look to Neptune, Pisces, and the 12th House in general - you’d also look at whatever sign is on your 12th House cusp and see what’s going on with that. Blessings, XOXOXO
