pluto direct in the last degree of capricorn

we are in the very last days, the absolute death throes, of the long era of pluto in capricorn. flow with the changing times by making sure your focus is on humanity, science, and innovation and shedding any lingering greed, hoarding, or power lust.

Many things were used to describe the mad hermit of Amaurot: a drunkard, degenerate, cynical, and even monstrous by those who stirred trouble for the newly appointed Azem. But nothing could prepare Emet-Selch for what he would see for himself, when offered a chance to meet the Sun's Shadow.

need to pull a tarot card to make decisions?

following blind direction from the gods?

need a crystal to emotionally regulate?

need to manifest in order to be satisfied?

worried if you think too hard you'll manifest something bad/dangerous?

spending all your time in alternate reality/plane of existence?

losing your sense of identity in order to become your alter ego/higher self?

expecting everything to be perfect otherwise you believe there's something wrong with you, or the spell you did, or your manifestation process?

is your concept of self-care inherently witchcraft focused?

unable to talk to regular non-pagan humans without dismissing their feelings and/or suggesting something witchy to help them?

it might be time to take a step back from witchcraft and focus on building trust and safety within yourself.

witchcraft and spirituality are frequently used to avoid confronting difficult issues, to inflate your own ego, or to (unhealthily) cope with your problems. you are not immune.

Stellium Notes

3 or more planets in one sign is a stellium

💫 4 or more planets in one sign is extremely rare 🌟

The house it is in matters, and the sign it's in too.

Let's take a deeper look by learning some tools so that you can also check your house rulers and see which house rulers are involved in your stellium. Also let's see which other parts of your life will be influenced, especially looking for house rulers or other significant planets that are retrograde or combust for more insights

Planets too close to the sun; a few degrees behind the sun but still close are considered combust

These things will tell you about events in life and parts of your personality that you may need to put extra effort into, but they are not inherently bad, as some might say due to the unlucky parts of combustions and retrogrades.

How do I identify house rulers, and locate them in the chart?

Well first you need to know the signs and their rulers

♈︎ Aries & ♏︎ Scorpio are ruled by Mars ♂

♉︎ Taurus & ♎︎ Libra ➤ Venus ♀

♊︎ Gemini & ♍︎ Virgo ➤ Mercury ☿

♋︎ Cancer ➤ The Moon ☽

&

♌︎ Leo ➤ The Sun ☉

So say you are an Aries Rising/Ascendant then the house Aries is in would be ruled by Mars. Therefore whatever Mars is being aspected by, and the house it is in, it will also be influencing the Ascendant. That will affect the face, the self, the first impressions and the rest you can always look up what the houses rule over but generally they can be related to the signs and their planet in the same way; starting with Aries as 1st house, Taurus as 2nd etc

however do not misconstrue the sign as the house representative because it is actually ruled also by their ruling Planets, so when you look at 2nd house themes remember that venus is also involved so it's not just about finances, but also the body and and venusian things

Degrees💫

Degrees have also been theorized to be related to zodiac signs, degrees can make significant differences depending on one degree change. This is evident in twin birth charts since they have the same chart but different birth times by only a few moments difference, but its more important in aspects. That being said it is also very important to have your precise birth time, and this has the ability to allow us to see the most influential aspects in your chart especially when viewed with a lower orb. In a stellium where each planet is in the same sign, we can look at the degrees and it can be fun to relate them to their respective zodiac signs... However, keep in mind that it is not a proven practice, and it is a made up theory!

How do the zodiacs relate with degrees?

Well in the degree theory, each of the 0–29 degrees are ruled by a zodiac sign except 0° considered the raw expression of any placement and 29° which is considered an anoretic degree and a completion degree

______________________________________

1° is ruled by Aries ♈︎ degree

2° Taurus ♉︎ degree

3° Gemini ♊︎ degree

4° Cancer ♋︎ degree

And so on…

፨ After 12° (Pisces ♓︎) it repeats with 13° beginning at Aries ♈︎ again ⊰

ᑕᖇITIᑕᗩᒪ ᗪᗴᘜᖇᗴᗴՏ

0 degrees in degree theory is the raw expression of a sign its in and the planet is considered young

29 degree in the degree theory is supposedly a leo degree, a fame degree, and a degree of completion. It is called an anoretic degree and apparently it is found in the charts of the most successful people often. This degree can mean that you are very wise in this aspect of life?

Can you please give your thoughts on having MC un scorpio at zero degrees? 🩵

Hey, love! I'm still what I would consider a "baby" astrologer, so please take what resonates and leave what doesn't! I am by far a professional, but I appreciate the request to explore. ♡ Within your public image, you may be drawn to highlighting details that people tend to ignore. I've always seen Scorpio as an intense, reflective energy when in interaction to other people. The "intensity" is the actual draw of secrecy and the unconscious urge to dig a little deeper into the depths of things. Other people may notice that there is a privacy that you like to keep, almost a "shadow" upon your personal life. With it being in the 0°, it would most likely heighten this behavior. You may be very energetically direct, but the seclusion you take compared to, let's say, a Leo placement, makes the other person in interactions feel almost watched or potentially judged. You may not be casting the official judgement, but the lack of true openness (or mental boundary) creates an intrigue that promotes a self-reflection in the other person. That is why Scorpio is linked so easily towards obsession — people naturally have an inclination towards mystery in addition to Scorpios having an innate capacity to discover. Therefore, in terms of career (which the Midheaven is mostly associated with), I find this to be a very great position for something in either Law, the Visual Arts, or Science. Without knowing how this energy is balanced throughout your full chart, I find the Scorponic energy in its purest form to invite transformation and depth. In our society, I can sense easy fulfillment with this placement because of your ability to confront the core injustice of issues that could invoke change on a mass scale. This energy can also translate into the Arts. With the inherent depth your placement holds, the artistry you may bring to others would be transformative. It reminds me of the same energy of looking at a painting you don't know why is driving such reflective and almost uncomfortable psyche. It can be very passionate and moving, drawing in a viewer without understanding the cause and effect, until the actual effect is enacted. Lastly, Science would fulfill the thought-provoking and transformative energy you naturally display. Within research, you may easily have a knack for looking at a perspective other people may not share or revealing something that was left behind/discarded.

In essence, I find that you will feel the most fulfilled in a career/passion that would allow you to showcase some form of personal expression that encourages either external or internal transformation and allows you to get into the details of a particular cause. I have a personal feeling that you already know what subject invokes that sense of drive in you, since there is an energy of self-awareness that either is accepted or denied within your Scorpio placement.

Neptune in the Anaretic Degree (29th Degree) -- What YOU Need to Know

     On May 3, 2024, Neptune shifted into the anaretic degree of Pisces, marking a major milestone for the outer planet and us. In astrology, the anaretic degree refers to the 29th degree of any sign. This degree holds a unique significance, often regarded as a critical point of transition and culmination within a zodiacal sign. Understanding the anaretic degree requires delving into the broader context of astrological symbolism and the cyclical nature of the zodiac.

     This degree—the 29th degree—has always been a degree of interest to me, as I have one of my personal planets in the degree. It is one of the “fame degrees” but I’ve always attributed a lot of my troubles, lessons, and struggles to this degree. I’ve also realized over the years just how critical this degree is in the good parts of my personality: my drive, urgency, and tenacity to DO SOMETHING. With that in mind, I’d like to dive deeper into the 29th degree in astrology, paying special attention to how it manifests in this ongoing transit of Neptune in Pisces.  

Anaretic Degree Meaning in Astrology

     At its core, the zodiac consists of 12 signs, each representing different archetypal energies and qualities. As the Sun traverses through each sign over the course of a year, it reaches its culmination point at the 29th degree before transitioning into the subsequent sign. This transition embodies a sense of completion, marking the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.

     The term "anaretic" is derived from the Greek word "anareta," meaning "destroyer" or "bringer of necessity." In traditional astrology, the anaretic degree was often associated with challenging circumstances, indicating a sense of urgency or crisis that demanded resolution. However, modern astrologers interpret this degree more broadly, recognizing its potential for pivotal moments of growth and transformation.

     When a planet occupies the anaretic degree in a birth chart or during a transit, it can amplify the sense of urgency and intensity associated with that planet’s energy. For example, if Mars is at the anaretic degree in a natal chart, it may signify a strong drive to initiate change or take decisive action in the areas of life represented by its sign and house placement.

     Similarly, when considering transits or progressions involving the anaretic degree, you want to pay close attention to any planets or points that make significant aspects to that degree. These configurations can indicate key turning points or moments of reckoning, where important decisions need to be made or significant events unfold.

     For instance, if a New Moon occurs at the anaretic degree of a sign, it may signal a powerful opportunity for new beginnings or the culmination of a long-term project or goal. Conversely, if a planet stations retrograde or direct at the anaretic degree, it could suggest a period of intense reflection or a profound shift in direction.

Neptune in the Anaretic (29th) Degree

    Neptune is one of the outer planets in astrology and holds profound significance in shaping our collective and individual experiences. Often referred to as the planet of dreams, illusions, and spirituality, Neptune represents the realm of the subconscious, imagination, and transcendence. It influences our perceptions, ideals, and capacity for empathy, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion.

     Pisces, as the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac, is associated with themes of spirituality, compassion, and transcendence. Symbolized by the Fish, Pisces embodies the collective unconscious and the journey towards spiritual enlightenment and unity with the divine.

     When Neptune is in Pisces, its influence is heightened, as the planet is in its natural ruling sign. This placement accentuates the mystical and ethereal qualities associated with Neptune, amplifying its influence on both a personal and collective level. Neptune in Pisces fosters a heightened sense of spirituality, creativity, and sensitivity, inspiring us to explore deeper realms of consciousness (as well as our collective obsession with idealized beauty standards) and connect with the divine.

     The 29th degree of Pisces holds particular significance, as it represents the culmination of Neptune's journey through the sign. At this critical degree, the energy of Neptune is intensified, marking a transitional phase between the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. With Neptune sitting in the anaretic degree of Pisces, we may experience a heightened sense of spiritual awakening, creative inspiration, or emotional sensitivity.

neptune (rx) sextile pluto (rx)

this is a lovely sextile of the slowest planets. they do not meet up often because their own orbits are so long and pluto's is quite eccentric. and indeed this doesn't quite perfect yet; pluto is not back into capricorn and neptune is retrograding as well. but it is quite close, and it is a friendly meeting between the king of the underworld and the depth and darkness of the deep sea or deep space. so the vibes are not only chthonic but also spiritual and ethereal. it pervades all planes. use this to integrate the different parts of yourself, to do healing, to sleep well, to care for the dead and dying, honor the ancestors or spirit guides, and unify your desires on all levels of being. the influence lasts for several days.

started reading about the shakespeare authorship thing and the first argument from a literary person to say Willy S couldn't have written them is "he didn't go to university," at which point i went "oh wow i didn't realise THIS was the level of 'evidence' people meant"

What do you think of Gerald Gardner?

I'm not the biggest fan of Wicca, but I'm also acutely aware of the strength of his influence (and all the ways my beliefs have benefited), and also mindful not to judge historical figures by modern day standards. He was both revolutionary and and idiot, like most people in history.

How do you feel about TERF witches?

I'm still deconstructing my thoughts on gender (including reading far too much philosophy) so my thoughts on the whole larger debate are still pending, but I would love to hear from TERF/Gender critical witches about their experiences! Witchblr feels quite left and features a lot of queer theory, and I do wonder about whether they feel like there is space for their opinions.

TLDR; I want TERF/Gender Crit witches (or folks in general) to be able to share their philosophical and political thoughts as much as I want LGBTQ+ witches (and folks) to be able to share their thoughts. It'd be really interesting to hear everyone's arguments, especially ones further removed from the echo-chamber-y arguments in mainstream media.

Also there's a huge overlap with TERF/Gender crit witches and women, and so I'm super fascinated that, in a religion that has been seen as very women-focused, if they feel like there's still room for women-focused spaces and rituals.
