Libra in Mars
I remember having someone I knew personally getting the "ick" from my Libra being in my Mars. Never understood why. I know it's considered in detriment and not the ideal placement for Libra, but being mocked for it never made sense to me.
From my understanding, for anyone with the same placement, the reason Libra is considered in detriment is that Libra's ruler is Venus, while Mars rules Aries and Scorpio. When Mars is in Libra, it doesn't flow as naturally compared to its complementary counterparts.
People with Libra in Mars often struggle with asserting themselves, preferring to avoid conflict and relying on others' opinions or assistance rather than their own independent drive. This tendency can lead to scattered energy, a lack of follow-through, and misdirection, as well as possible procrastination.
Don't think that's the be-all end-all or that it means it's a "curse." We don't want that kind of black-and-white thinking when we're talking about astrology here.
For the positives, Libra in Mars tend to be very justice-ridden. They prefer equality, balance, diplomacy, and fairness. They might also love the idea of collaborating with another person who share the same common goals. They're not too fond of the idea of direct confrontation, however would prefer to resolve conflicts through discussion and compromise, using tact and diplomacy to maintain harmony. They'll do a lot of thinking before settling on something.
Much of their motivation and energy could stem from appreciation for beauty, a sense of fairness, and the pursuit of balanced relationships. They may direct their energy towards artistic pursuits, creating something beautiful, and advocating for justice.

●ARIES NORTH NODE [Rahu]+ LIBRA SOUTH NODE [Ketu] ●
~ A FULL GUIDE + ADVICE 💕 ~ The North Node [NN] and South Node [SN] represent our life purpose or life lessons throughout our lifetime. It's like a tug of war between what you already know [your comfort zone [SN]] and what you need to learn to get happier [something out of your comfort zone [NN]]. Your SN also represents negative thoughts, habits, and patterns that you find difficult to escape. However, you must avoid embodying the extremes of your North Node. ~ REMEMBER: Just because your NN will help you become more fulfilled in life doesn't necessarily mean you should abandon all factors related to your SN. It's important to find a balance between this tug of war.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ARIES NORTH NODE [ANN] + LIBRA SOUTH NODE [LSN]
Let's describe you first!......
● [LSN] You had mastered the art of compromise and your relationships with others in your past life/early life. However, now you often find yourself conceding to others 'demands/needs' even if it goes against what you want to do. And even when you try to assert yourself you find yourself giving in to others. You tend to put others first, to your own detriment sometimes.
● [LSN] You often anticipate judgment. You believe that what others say about you says more about who you are than who you think you are
● [LSN] You want desperately to feel accepted since you've spent a lot of time feeling as if you aren't normal. You feel incredibly unprotected in this world, so you often go around looking for someone to save you [partnership, institution, job].
● To put it bluntly, Libra South Nodes often have a bad case of imposter syndrome. You're afraid that other people will think that you're trying to be more special or above everyone else, so you seek something to camouflage you in order to make yourself seem 'normal'. But sorry to say this,😔 no amount of social validation will ever heal you. YOU MUST seek it within yourself
● [LSN] You may find yourself terrified of being alone because you feel as if you aren't normal, so you feel that if you were to ever drift off from society, you would become "crazy", or people would think of you as such.
● [ANN] Something that is cute though is that Aries North Node's people are obsessives. You are obsessed with weird things that no one else ever thinks about. Whatever you're obsessed about, you don't want anyone else to know about it. This is because you want people to like you and you think that if people knew about what you liked then they wouldn't like you. TAKE PRIDE IN IT!!
● [ANN] It's hard for you to be in an argument with others because you always think you must change another person's mind to "win". You also find arguments frustrating because there may have been repressed conflict in your home life. Because of this ANNs have a hidden yearning that there will be an end-all conflict that ends all conflicts.
...The trouble with this is the end all conflict will never come. Fighting never changes anyone's mind either. It's disappointing but it's reality. Believing that escalating conflict leads to your victory is what traps you!! ❤️
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Takeaways ---
● You will learn and grow when you realize that you don't need anyone to validate your obsessions. You don't need to change anyone's mind. You don't need a final showdown with your boss or partner or friend [that you sometimes find yourself fantasizing about]. You don't need revenge to feel safe expressing anger.
• What keeps you trapped in this cycle of fear is that you're SO good at conflict. When you fight you win because you're so good at looking at things from every angle.
• [ANN] What you're trying to figure out is when to fight and when to walk away. What heals you is walking away from a conflict that you can win. [I know it's hard!!] You will never grow when you win because it just keeps fueling the same scarcity under the competition mindset. You grow when you reclaim your own space and nurture your creativity and joy. You grow when you create safety by choosing when to have conflict and when to not.
● NN in Aries gives you the life challenge of exerting your personal will and developing the inner confidence and courage to act in your own self-interest sometimes. Your life journey is discovering "Who am I without you?"
• [LSN] What feels natural to you is pleasing others but with your ANN, what you really desire and where your fulfillment lies is in doing your own thing, according to your own impulses, without being limited by the input of others.
• Although you try to assert yourself you seem to continually give in to others. You need to ask yourself, how can "I act" in my own self interest and still "please you"? Because unfortunately acting in your self-interest fully without caring about others at all, will not make you fulfilled either.
• On the good side though, your Libra South Node can help you to think before acting!!
• [LSN and ANN] This inner tug of war will eventually teach you that indulging in your own wants and desires with no regard for others is just as bad as always putting others first. The challenge of this life's theme is to find a healthy balance between selflessness and selfishness.
• Relationships may be challenging because you [LSN] instinctively gravitate towards friendships, partnerships, lovers, and marriage. But in your need for harmony, you tend to go along with whatever your friend says [especially when young]. Still, there will come a time with the ANN will come to the forefront and you'll rebel, get angry, seek your independence, and go your own way. [I have an ANN and LSN and trust me, I experienced this, and my "rebellion" didn't go well. I would get angry at every little thing because I was suppressing my anger so much before. It just made me more unhappy, and I felt so alone and alienated because nobody understood that I was trying to get my point/needs across, and they weren't listening to my WORDS. It just came across as aggressive I guess; it made me look crazy. So, work on yourself and try to skip this step of the process 😭😭, I don't know if it can be skipped though. There will come a point where you're so tired of being used, or of no one being considerate of you. You need to learn the difference between aggressiveness and assertiveness though, and you also need to learn to walk away from a fight that genuinely has nothing to do with your values. Still, I do notice that I have in fact gone my own way after that, and I now pick and choose my battles which brings me peace and a sense of safety. I'm much happier now, and I'm working towards self-confidence. So it's a part of the process don't worry 😘]
• The secret to successful long-lasting relationships is creating a balance in your life between time doing your own thing and time invested in making your partner or friend happy.
• The irony is once you learn to love and trust yourself enough to confidently "go it alone", you'll draw appropriate people into your life who will support your independence 😊😊❤️
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------- How To Grow ------
• Steps to freeing yourself from past behavior patterns [LSN]:
1. Recognize you don't need another person's support or approval to exist. You have the right to feel as you feel and to act independently of others.
2. You must recognize you have value before anyone else will. You must also understand that being honest and assertive isn't harmful when done correctly. Once you realize your worth you can begin building healthy selfishness and live an authentic life
3. Detach a bit from your need for harmony in relationships. Learn the difference between aggressiveness and assertiveness. Determine what is or isn't worth fighting for/about.
4. Make your needs known. When you stop catering to everyone else's desires and practice open communication, you free yourself and others [individuals you're close to may not even realize their unconscious part in directing your life]. If you make your needs known correctly, and the person reacts defensively, then that tells you that they aren't good for your path.
5. Write a list of your life values. Then write another list of the values you want your dream friends to have. As well as the values you want your dream partner to have. And make a list for your family as a bonus too. This will help you to discern when to create a conflict and when not to because it makes no sense to cause a fight over something that doesn't even compromise your values. For example, let's say your current friend keeps on lying to you and you wrote that you value friends that value honesty [in your friend list] and that you value honesty in your life values list, then, of course, it makes sense to speak up or end the friendship over it. But let's say your friend hasn't answered your texts and you didn't write anything about that in your values lists, then is it really necessary to cause a conflict over it?
6. Self-discovery is the gift of an Aries NN ❤️❤️
○■○■○■■○■○■■○■○■○■■○■○■
I hope this helps 🙏 💕. I also have this placement and it was such a step out of my comfort zone when I decided to go down the journey of my NN. I hope that one day I can finally learn to put myself first and discover myself. And honestly, I take such pride in this placement, because it's such a beautiful journey. So ya, if you want to feel more fulfilled and I guess less used, TRY to work towards your Aries North Node. But remember not to become too selfish, balance is key 😊❤️.
Side Note:
Yes, as an Aries North Node, my obsession is astrology LMAO. I'm so scared to talk about it, cause whenever I do I can see them getting bored or zoning out, and it makes me so disappointed. Also, I truly do anticipate the judgment 😭, its such a Libra South Node thing. This is further amplified because I have an Aquarius Chiron in the 3rd House, I'm really not imagining it, people aren't listening 🥲. But ya, I love astrology with my whole heart and I hope that by focusing on myself and my development more, I can attract people who will actually listen. At least there is hope too, since the 3rd House gets better with time, meaning my Chiron will get better with time, phew.

Hello! I'd like to request "There's an 80% chance of this working out" from List 5 with Mahiru and Mikoto! Horoscope Girl and Tarot Boy...what will they do...
Ooh this one was so fun, thank you!! It was really neat learning about tarot :0 (It'll take a bit longer, but I got carried away with the idea and also started writing something of Mikoto doing a reading for Fuuta hehe). It always makes me sad that Mahiru doesn’t trust Mikoto at first, so it was really fun to picture them bonding over things like this during T1! I never thought of them having that in common and my mind has been opened to this duo asdfsdfds
“Alright, I’m going to need you to manifest your energy as hard as you can.”
Mahiru squeezed her eyes shut. Her face scrunched up in concentration. She let out a little hum of effort as she poured all her emotions into the card deck under her fingertips.
“Uh… maybe not that hard, Mappi.”
She looked up with a giggle. “Right, right! I’m just so curious!” Well, she was curious about how a tarot reading itself would go, not about what it would tell her. Mahiru was fairly confident of her upcoming verdict, and the cards would only confirm it. So far only one prisoner had been named guilty, and everyone could see he was just a bully. Mahiru was nothing like him. She would be forgiven. She just knew it.
Mikoto started shuffling the cards. “Are you ready?”
“Oh, yes!”
To be honest, she’d had her suspicions about Mikoto for a while. His smile was too perfect at all hours of the day. (Even someone as cheery as her knew a smile like that couldn’t be consistently real.) She’d seen enough cheaters who chatted as easily as he could with everyone here. His nicknaming habit was a cute one, but she was keeping her eye on how informally he acted with little basis for friendship. She knew for sure he was a dangerous flirt when he’d grabbed her palm to read her fortune, launching into talk of life and love lines. However, none of that meant he was lying about his tarot expertise -- so who was she to refuse his offer to read her cards?
Her eyes glimmered as she watched Mikoto lay out three cards before her. Though he used the same theatrics he had for the others, she was just as entranced. It was just so magical, she thought.
Mikoto circled his palms over the cards. “We’re going to begin by looking at the past and present to get a bit of perspective before we move on to what your future will hold, alright?” He’d already explained that the cards couldn’t read one’s future as much as they offered self-awareness. He said it was all about being in tune with oneself, and the world. She was sure someone like him was already perfectly aligned within himself, but she could admit her heart carried her away at times…
Mahiru held her breath as he flipped the first card. She studied his face for any trace of negativity. Seeing her worry, he slipped back into his usual smile. “For the past, we have the Reversed Page of Cups,” he said. “This suit deals with emotions and intuition.”
Mahiru nodded, excited at the accuracy. Her past certainly had its share of intense feelings.
“This card in particular may mean emotional insecurity, or immaturity. It could also point to an avoidance of reality, something that’s not being faced head-on.”
She nodded, with a little less excitement this time.
“It also represents a specific person who influences you.” His face lit up, recalling Mahiru’s favorite topic. “Pages can represent a companion! Is there a romantic someone in your life who may have been causing some emotional insecurity?”
Picking up on the way her face paled, he said quickly, “or maybe not! They could be a messenger, or a childlike figure, or…” He reached for the next card. “Moving on, uh, to the present. Ah! This is a really good sign.”
She perked up.
“Here’s Justice. It’s fairly self-explanatory, representing the consequences that follow your actions. It’s about cause and effect, and accountability. It means things are happening according to karma, which is natural.”
He turned over the last card. “And finally, when looking to the future, we’ve got the Two of Swords. Swords deal with the mind -- conflict and communication. That’s… interesting.”
Mahiru’s eyes grew round. “What’s interesting?” She slid the card closer to herself, studying the picture. A blindfolded woman with two swords. There was water, and the moon. Was that bad? Was the woman unhappy? She was all alone. What did that mean?
“Don’t worry,” Mikoto soothed. “It just means you’ll make a big choice. Well, actually, it means you’ll get stuck, so you need to make a choice. I just thought it was funny, we’re here wondering about Es’ decision, but it turns out you’re the one who needs to make a decision.”
“Ah,” she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Now we can look at the big picture. It seems like some of your past problems may have come from emotional issues, so you’ll want to keep an eye on your emotions going forward.” Mahiru shifted. “The fact that we pulled Justice should reassure you about being here. I’ve heard some of the others complain that they don’t belong here, or it’s all a mistake, but this card is showing you that it’s just cause and effect. The events of your life are running their natural course.”
It was true, even she had been unhappy that her actions were being labeled that of a murderer. After all, those were an entirely different breed of people, right? Someone like Fuuta, who was guilty. People like her and Mikoto could never raise a hand to another. It was good to know, then, that this was all meant to be.
“And going forward, you’re gonna want to make sure you’re being decisive. Face your problems head-on, and communicate. If you can do that, things will be alright.” He folded his hands on the table, finished his reading.
Mahiru thought for a moment. A smile crept onto her face, growing larger and brighter by the second. She clasped her hands together. “That’s wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this. It’s told me everything I need to know.”
“Yeah?” He picked the cards up, shuffling them back into the deck. She pulled a slip of paper from her pocket, pointing to some lines scribbled down.
“Yes. I’ve been jotting down some birthdays, see? I’ve had to make a few guesses until I get more information, but if Es is either a Scorpio or a Virgo… as a Capricorn myself… we’re very compatible, look! Capricorns have excellent communication with both of those signs, and you said that’s what I’ll need to get through this tough decision.” She turned the paper over to reveal more notes. “On top of that, my extraction is scheduled right before my birthday, during Capricorn’s governing period. At that time, things will be aligned more in my favor.”
Mikoto’s eyebrows raised at her notes, impressed. “Wow! You have this all worked out, huh? If that’s the case, you seem very prepared to have a successful interrogation.”
She steepled her fingers. “I’d say there’s an 80% chance of this working out!”
“Definitely!”
He returned her beaming smile. Things would be perfect. Nothing to worry about.
#milgram#mikoto kayano#mahiru shiina#*narrator voice* and then she didnt communicate or face her conflict head-on.#it was too late to switch pov but im obsessed with how many tarot resources talk about being in tune with yourself and your identity#being secure and aware of your own mind#and just how clever it is that the symbol was chosen for mikoto...#tihtbilwy released just a few days before her birthday - thats so cute!#featuring @snakes-and-fluff's hc that mikoto can do palm reading and other things! i really loved that#there must have been such a crazy atmosphere in the prison during mahirus interrogation/verdict#halfway through all interrogations and only one person voted guilty - and hes the most obviously brash and loud one#i feel like everyone would be feeling really safe -- an then someone as sweet as mahiru gets her verdict. everyone would start to worry#if anyone who knows more about tarot/astrology sees any glaring flaws let me know lmao -- i did my best looking things up 👍#thank you so much for the request!! it was such a blast#(though also im yelling at you for sending it because ive been roped into reading my partners grandmothers cards possibly daily after#she caught me looking stuff up 😂😂😂)#drabbles

Hello. I discovered your blog last night & I saw you were offering free readings. Are they still open? If they are, I would really love to get one. I've been dealing with a frustrating situation these past few days and I'd really like some advice on how to deal with it or how it's going to play out. Thank you.
Hello,
Here are the tarot cards drawn in your psychic reading:
1) The Five of Wands 2) The Temperance 3) The Nine of Pentacles
The cards suggest that the frustrating situation you're dealing with involves conflict and competition, as indicated by the Five of Wands. However, Temperance advises finding balance and practicing patience. It suggests that a calm and measured approach will help you navigate through the challenges. The Nine of Pentacles indicates that you will achieve a successful resolution and a sense of independence and self-sufficiency. Combining these cards, it seems that by maintaining balance and patience, you will successfully overcome the situation and emerge stronger and more self-reliant.
I hope this gave you clarity. Want to know more? Whether it's about love, career, or any other topic, let's get the full picture with a personal reading just for you. Click the link and join me on this journey!

i think it was just one writer who said she considers him a leo and the others didn't really have an opinion so i don't consider it 100% canon, but i also agreed on the others lmao. except also i personally wouldn't assign a canon sign to mc since i see mcs as having some degree of customizability.
i agree with you that boy screams virgo to me
yep it was just one writer. seeing as how blades 2 isn't done yet i'm going to wait out and see how else he might embody leo in b2. also did they assign a sign for mc? i don't fully remember and i agree on the customizability part.
and yess aerin screams virgo to me! he's super intelligent and methodological, definitely has a virgo mercury. if we HAVE to assign a leo sun to him i'm making him a virgo ascendant so his sun is in the 12th house of prisons, confinement, and isolation. i also think he'd have a mix of leo, libra, and virgo placements.
#he has mars (most malefic planet in his chart) in the 3rd house (siblings) scorpio to me.#it would also square his sun in 12th showing conflict with baldur#i love astrology a lot ^_^#blades of light and shadow#aerin valleros#playchoices#anonymous#answered

Breaking Generational Trauma: How to Become an Artist with a Family Full of Doubters
Hey my little Community!
This has honestly been a topic that has been on my mind for years. I feel like I haven't addressed it, not for personal embarrassment, but due to how embarrassed I was by how others treated me. I am so sick of playing this "prefect family" role society makes us play. Most of us do not have that and I refuse to be ashamed of authenticity. So, lets talk:
In the self love community it is said that we teach others HOW to treat us. So for many years I was ashamed to speak on the emotional abuse I endured within my immediate family and friendship groups. I think we also have to remember how deeply conditioned individuals are, especially black people in America, due to the mental conditioning directly linked to slavery. If you aren't yet awakened in self love then it's easy to blindly and unconsciously play out these patterns; which is the only way I can explain my family blocking my success. My last art hiatus was caused by my family. I don't want to have another so I must speak my mind.
I am an astrology lover and in astrology I am a Mars in Cancer zodiac placement (if you know you know) but your Mars placement is your action. Your method of operation. Being that my placement is in Cancer; the divine mother, I am supposed to flow in soft feminine awareness utilizing my high priestesses spiritual intuition. Instead I was born into a family of wolves. Wolves that often prey on my own happiness and joy, as that is what my art is an embodiment of and represents.
Now, I am sure you are thinking - well it's not uncommon for artists to complain about family support. It's not uncommon for black women to have endured family trauma. Yet, its one thing to have an unsupported family, but it's quite another to have a family that preys on your success and inner love flow.
I come from an emotionally unsupportive family with means. They have every means available; every contact, resource & connection I require to succeed. They supported my brother through law school -jobless. They would even offered him in-family jobs. But when I do art as my job they act as if that isn't real. They showed me none of the same support. They have only been kind to me when I have suffered the abuse of 9-5 jobs they forced me to enslave myself in.
This is not a knock to any 9-5 grind, but it is to say that it ain't for me. It's not my job. And it's toxic for me to pretend as if that is my path. When it came to me evolving as an artist and Nonprofit founder my family has every contact and resource available to support me to if they actually wanted - but most of the time, they choose not to. Every time I lift a project up out of despair or pick myself up from the pain of their incessant emotional abuse, they aim to drag me down further. They cannot stand my joy.
Whether it's campaigning for my Nonprofit, working on my art, launching a podcast, launching a Self Love Shop, Launching NFTs, or a Youtube Channel they pretend to completely ignore everything I work on. My mother "ignored" my Nonprofit then recently created her own, saying I couldn't get involved. She then hired another black woman my exact age and gets a high growing her own Nonprofit as she watches mine struggle and says nothing.
The excuse is that they have "given me everything". Everything I am is because of them they like to remind me. Everything material. But what does that matter if the inside is hollow? What do all the riches in the world mean if the support is fake and the love is conditional? My elitist family attaches value to how much money each person has. They belittle people who have none. They also belittle mental health care and spirituality.
They have disdain for every aspect of what I am. I have always been bullied by my family. They when I do these things in joy and they see it on social media, they stalk my pages and begin to emotionally tear me down. Even when I block them, which I do - it continues because they will gossip to my friends and everyone they know about me. They talk behind my back and tell stories about who and what I am. They have brutally character assassinated me for years.
People love to talk about me but tend to be terrified to actually talk TO me. Probably because they know I see them. I can tell what inauthenticity is because I came from a household full of it. I know when people are talking shit because my family has talked shit about me my entire life. I can tell when people aren’t walking in their truth because I have come from a family that never has.
A few years before the pandemic, when my loving Gemini grandpa died, who was my ONLY sense of unconditional love and support - my family turned on me. My Grandpa, Abba, protected me. He supported me. He taught me art. He clearly saw the ways in which my family treated me; hated my joy and would break me down when they saw me in joy. So growing up, he gave me everything and anything I wanted. I think in some ways he taught me self love. Only because of him do I know I CAN DO, BE and HAVE ALL things. He was a pure soul. I know he is now my guardian angel.
Before a lot of therapy, I had so many gaps in my memory, because I blocked out how bad the emotional abuse actually was growing up. I have always had to hide my joy from my family or they well find it and take it away somehow.
It's like they seek, search and look where I find the most joy, go to that source and taint it. For example, my brother did this with my group of friends. He started hanging out with the 2nd family I had created for myself - FAR away from my real family. He tarnished my name, character and reputation and with it the credibility of my art businesses.
My family loves to spread ill rumors that I have mental health issues when I run a global Nonprofit that exists to help heal the worlds mental health while giving girls of color protection within the art world I never had. Them not supporting me isn’t even the worse part. I think what’s FAR worse is that they lie about supporting me to my face and slander my name behind my back.
As a mental health advocate do you know what that does to my credibility? They socially outcasted me to hide their truth and simultaneously take away my power. I am obsessed with mental health care because I have always had to protect myself from a family that does not take mental health seriously.
I had to take responsibility for my own mental health because they never would. I can't count how many self help books I have read since the age of 15. At 13 I had to BEG for therapy after my parents divorce. I had to heal my own depression through art, self love, books, teachers, courses, meditation, spirituality, and more! I constantly work on myself. I work on myself every single day and am obsessed with inner work and inner growth. I like to show up as the highest version of myself every single day!
This blog is a 14 year old testament to that. So the fact that my family will not stop shading me and breaking me down even now at I'm at the highest point of a career I have had to climb myself up to - is truly deplorable.
I have been harassed by my family for months, and more brutally when announcing my solo art show.
Since no one in my life has ever stood up for me before - I am forced to stand up for myself. How can any artist create without authentic support? It's impossible. I love family. I have a very close connection to my cousins who have nothing to do with this. I even love my family as much as they spew distain back at me.
But I am DONE with this chapter of abuse. Because my family emotionally abused me for so many years and still does... my jobs, circumstances, relationships have all reflected that same abuse. They will never acknowledge it and continue to put up this cookie cutter external view of a "perfect family" never owning up to the fact that this family targets, harasses and emotionally tortures one individual artist. So while I don't even want to write this - I have to.
I should be celebrating my biggest accomplishment of planning for the BIGGEST (and 3rd) solo art show of my career. But I have been protecting myself and battling my family for months now. When announcing the show via social media my mother said "allegedly you have an art show" continuing the on-going false narrative that I am a liar, and my father tried to put in my head and my little sisters head that my paintings don't sell. That is not even true. I have sold many many paintings; by the grace of God. My fathers white girlfriend also lied on my name with my brother. They love talking about me together. And she wouldn’t let me see my own sister for over 2 years. White lies. So yea I think my mental health would have to be intact to deal with such disorder.
And on top of all that… for over 2 years my art collection has been locked in storage due to family. My mother arranged that during COVID behind my back. My Art stuff was stuck in LA and I was in the Bay and no one would help me for 2 years. I recently recovered it.
But you know what the good part of all this is? That my eyes are finally open and that I am no longer afraid to speak out against this abuse, because I know other black women and other artists go through the same and in voicing something - you learn we are never really alone. And happily the humor in all of this is… lol that they all thought I didn’t know; friends and family alike. Since the beginning I’ve been observing them ALL in silence. I’ve been watching how they move and switch up. When they tune out you home in.
So anyway, that was a long story and you can tune into my Podcast to hear all about this in more detail, but sometimes I need to write things off my chest and this was just that.
If you dig my art, all I would really ask is that you support it, support my Patreon, my art shop, Self Love Shop, Podcast, Vlog, Nonprofit and more! I have put so many digital resources our to help the collective heal and to safeguard you all against feelings of betrayal, depression, alonesness and more.
In all of this it has really made me walk my talk on another level. It has taken my artwork and self love to another level. Due to my family coming for me during an actual world pandemic it made me truly realize how much art DOES save lives and self love heals! Self love also saves lives and art heals!
Thank you for allowing me to share tumblr community and thank you for all the love & support you have been showing me! I truly appreciate it!

Love,
B

#it's partly there's been Conflicting Discourse on my dash today (nothing like Major just. there are Opinions on astrology and let x say fuck#) (GODDAMN CHARACTER LIMIT)#and having been told secondhand about discourse.......... sometimes i am Especially grateful for my lil hidey hole#(i say this as someone who was a terrible one for the discourse in my fandoms when i was a teen)#but it's. exhausting#again this is not vagueblogging about any specific person or take just. yeesh

just learned the term breadcrumbing & this feels like "ghosting is emotional abuse except when i do it for good reasons" redux. fellas is only contacting people when you have something to say to them abusive
#it was from that incredibly long post where someone hijacked a shitpost w imported tiktok conflict#so i was like oh man i bet this is a weird cishet dating thing#i was mostly right i think#but also seems appealing to DSM astrologers

Full Disclaimer: I am not an astrology or Moon Phase witch. Do not fight on my posts. I am too old and too tired for drama. You can add your comments respectfully
Recently, there was a “Moon Phase” trend on TikTok, whereby if you and your partner’s moon phase completed each other you were “Soulmates”. If the moon phases were the same as each other you were “Twin Flames”
This confuses me
By definition: Twin Flame refers to two souls that were split into two. Your Twin Flame is your other half. So if your moon phase and your partner’s completes the moon then they should be your Twin Flame, not your Soulmate.
Soulmates on the other hand are two separate souls who find each other. They are not your other half. They don’t complete you. But they complement you. So wouldn’t matching moon phases refer that they’re your soulmate?
This is my genuine query, and thoughts. I don’t believe in soulmates and twin flames but it had me thinking
