Synastry/Composite Notes

3H/Gemini Moon in Composite is a favorite of mine. Everything under the sun will always be spoken about. There will never be a dull moment. U too talk about everything & everyone. Even if both individuals aren't the most talkative, in this relationship they will be. you feel the most understood you've ever been. Deep conversations are a daily occurrence. They feel the need to talk to each other on a regular basis, they talk the most out of all the ppl they know. Texting, calling, going on walks, hand holding, kissing and hugging is a frequent occurrence.

10H sign shows how outsiders view the relationship. If in Libra, ppl will gush and adore the relationship. These are the ppl you look at and think of them as the perfect match for each other, esp if you know them personally. These are usually the couples that leave other ppl heartbroken by breaking up. From the outside the relationship looks damn near perfect. These ppl give "couple goals". You usually don't see scandals or arguments between these couples. Everyone thinks that you've finally found the one.

Venus trine/sextile NN syn-The venus person shows the node person a love they've always craved and most importantly a love they NEED and have never had before. this helps the node person grow into the person they're supposed to grow into and thrive.

Mercury sq Mercury-may have the same ideas, think the same thing, have the same end goal, yet they express themselves differently which can lead to misunderstandings. They both may want things executed their way (esp if in cardinal signs) and may think their too diff when in reality they're both just too hardheaded

Chiron synastry, will either heal each other or make their wounds worse

7H NN synastry-the node person teaches the house person about true love and that it's okay to want or need someone. the house person can see the node person as their ideal spouse. marriage is likely.

1H Mars in comp-martian energy is very prominent and must be released in physical ways together. Such as working out, having sex often, etc

1H chiron in comp-this relationship usually heals and makes u face all your deep inner wounds. theres no way to run from them. U overcome your fears becuz of each other. both partners feel their own levels of insecurity. They feel like they can overcome anything as long as their tg. They usually have a strong destiny and purpose tg. even in the rxship they've been thru a lot tg, more towards the first year.

April 1935. Seeing people refer to Cardinal Richelieu as "the Catholic Darth Vader" (which seems entirely apt) brought to mind this 1935 movie with George Arliss. Largely forgotten today, Arliss was one of the most respected actors of his era, having had a lengthy career on stage and in silents before making his first talkie in 1929. Most of his talkie vehicles feature him as a cagy old Tory reprobate triumphing over his opponents through a combination of guile and charm, usually while also showing his support for #girlbossing by arranging an appropriate match for a young female protege — "appropriate match" in most cases meaning "a stalwart, none-too-bright young man of good prospects who can be made to do whatever she says." This is precisely the formula for CARDINAL RICHELIEU, which is based (loosely) on an old Edward Bulwer-Lytton play: Richelieu protects his protege (Maureen O'Sullivan) from the unwelcome attentions of the king (Edward Arnold), finds her a good (dumb) husband (Cesar Romero in one of his earliest featured roles), and saves France with his cunning stratagems. He's even a cat person, and his cat, Mistigris, features in a lot of the posters and promo images.

Arliss later reprised his role in CARDINAL RICHELIEU on THE LUX RADIO THEATRE in January 1939, reuniting most of the film cast. I think that might actually have been his final public performance; he was in his 70s by then, and his last movie role (in DR. SYN) had been in 1937.

CARDINAL RICHELIEU has nothing directly to do with THE THREE MUSKETEERS, but it should be mandatory viewing for people trying to adapt the latter, who often seem to struggle with the fact that while Richelieu is the central antagonist of the Dumas book, he isn't actually the villain of that story.

Memorial of Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church

Reflection: A Welcoming Church

If we recall, Pope Francis declared the year 2023 as the Year of Synodality. The word “synod” comes from the Greek words syn (together) and hodos (road or the way). Synod literally means “together on the way.” Synodality, as applied by the Church to Her pastoral mission, pictures a Church who accompanies and walks with people on the pilgrim way to God’s Kingdom.

The words inclusivity, tolerance, and welcoming were a constant refrain during the Year of Synodality. Consistent with the way Jesus mingled even with the “undesirables” of His time, the Church wants to present Herself as a community that opens its arms to everyone and excludes no one from its tender embrace.

Today’s Gospel about the parable of the Kingdom of Heaven, likened to a fisherman’s net, is a beautiful image of synodality and inclusivity. Thrown into the sea, the net gathered everything and “. . . caught all kinds of fish.” However, we learn that soon after, the fishermen sit down and sift through the whole catch, “. . . collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.”

The Gospel is clear. Inclusivity is not incompatible with judgment. Practicing a wise form of discrimination, the fisherman separates the good from the bad catch, keeps the good in the boat and throws away the bad. This is an important distinction for a Church living out a genuine form of synodality. Speaking no longer in metaphors, Jesus clearly enunciated: “This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace . . .” (vv. 49-50).

An authentic synodal Church will do well to remember the words of the late Cardinal Francis George, who said, “Everyone is welcome in the Church . . . but not on their own terms, but on Jesus’ terms.” Jesus did not have table fellowship with sinners and tax collectors because He wanted to be seen as inclusive, tolerant, and accepting. He ate with them in order to call them to conversion.

~Fr. Joel O. Jason

The first word Jesus said when He began His ministry was not “welcome” but “repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.”

I long to be welcomed into the Kingdom, not on my terms, but on Yours, O God. Amen.

Prayer

… for a deep and profound respect for life, especially for the unborn.

… for the strength and healing of the sick.

… for the healing and peace of all families.

Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.

GOD BLESS!

PSM #10, June 1998 - The review of 'SaGa Frontier’ and ‘Cardinal Syn’.  

[millardcrow]

happy friday. have a glitched combo, this string is actually two strings that the command interpreter accidentally lets you do seamlessly. also that first hit? the uppercut? that's a low. moves that swing upwards in this game must be blocked low.

I sketched Cardinal Syn last night

[retropolitan]

Lange nichts mehr über die PlayStation gepostet. Das kann man ändern. Zum Beispiel mit dieser Spieleankündigung zu Cardinal Syn. Die Screenshots erinnern mich ein wenig an "Mace: The dark Age" auf dem N64, aber ob es sich auch so spielt, weiss ich nicht.

Habt ihr schon mal was von Cardinal Syn gehört?

Console Fighting Games of 1998 - Cardinal Syn

Cardinal Syn is a 3D versus fighting game set in a world of clans locked in a never-ending war until united by the Wanderer and the Book of Knowledge. The Wanderer with his work done left the book, dividing it into 4 pieces one for each can with the hope they would remain peace between them. 

The Clans however returned to their warring ways until Syn arrived turning each piece of the book into a weapon and arranging a tournament for each clan's strongest warrior, with a promise that the victor would rule over all the clans of the Bloodland and the Book of Knowledge. 

Developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment who have previous experience with fighting games albeit the not so well received Criticom. The game was released on the PlayStation in January of 1998 in the UK, with a US release in August of the same year. Cardinal Syn was better received by critics than Criticom.

That’s all there is for Lords of Creation, so let’s round out the week with another bonkers RPG: The World of Synnibarr (1993). This is widely regarded as one of the worst RPGs ever made.

Let’s take the name, first. Cinnabar is a mercury-based mineral often used to create red pigment for cosmetics and pottery. Because of the mercury, it is pretty toxic, though. The game takes place some ridiculous number of years in the future, in which Mars (which IS red, but also is not Mercury) is hollowed out and converted into a world ship that humanity used to escape the solar system. Why they named the ship after a poisonous mineral is anyone’s guess, though the edgy, intentional misspelling is pure 90s (see the 1998 videogame Cardinal Syn). The vibe follows suit, a kind of unholy merging of Rifts’ over-the-top sensibilities with the ridiculous bombast of Liefeld-era Marvel comics. The “I drew this in my algebra notebook” meter is pinned to the red.

The cover of the book is nice enough, though — the metallic gold ink gives it a touch of unexpected class, though ultimately I find myself reminded of 90s-era cologne advertisements, the sort that were inserted into magazines and gave me a pounding headache when waiting in a doctor’s office. The rules echo this impression. Mostly they seem to be percentile base, but it seems to be even odds that a given check is roll under or roll over. There are so many rules. The book is nearly 500 pages of them — that is a daunting number of pages.

I honestly can not tell if I am meant to take this game seriously. Illustrations like that bazooka-toting raccoon checking his watch leave me totally flummoxed. Surely this is a gag? But then why am I not laughing? That’s a full page illustration. The monsters give me no insight. The Crocopede, for example, is a centipede with a crocodile head, but it also has wings for some reason. So does the Flying Deer. It’s honestly all a bit exasperating. 500 pages!

GWAR IN THE DUOVERSE OF ABSURDITY REVIEW! Part 1 of 2

It's finally time for me to write about their newest comic/album, "Gwar in The Duoverse of Absurdity" and "The New Dark Ages"! As an avid reader and writer myself, I love concept albums the most, such as the ones put out by Cradle of Filth, the Insane Clown Posse, or Marilyn Manson, but when Gwar does it, it's on a totally different level. That being said, as much as I enjoyed TNDA initially, I was missing a massive degree of context, and most of the songs lacked meaning. After reading Michael Bishop's (the slave of Blothar) thoughts on many songs and reading the comic, referred to as Duo henceforth, my feelings towards it have skyrocketed, and I have a lot to say about it. Surprisingly enough, this is all my opinion, and just like my previous post, I won't be arguing too much with anyone with a bone to pick. At the end of the day it's all Gwar media, and we're all here because we love Gwar.

I wanted to talk about the comic mainly, but considering it was composed alongside the album, it's impossible to speak on just one without bringing up the other. Before I delve into Duo though, it behooves me to say something about the first two comics from this modern era (I haven't read Slave Pit Funnies, sorry. Can we get a trade paperback collecting them someday?). Orgasmageddon is okay for what it is, a story about Mr Perfect sending Gwar off on a time-travelling dick rocket before they come back, beat up Bozo Destructo, and kill Mr Perfect. There's some fun stuff where they pass by the Jerry Springer show and see Oderus and that kid who believes in everything Gwar stands for, and the art is amazing, but the book really shines in its back up stories, which are drawn and written by Hunter Jackson and others. The Billy and Mandy) invader Zim cartoon nastiness really shines there in a way that it doesn't quite gel the way I think they were hoping. Reading this one really made me wonder why they didn't try to adapt the narrative of Battle Maximus, but I think I like that story existing in musical form.

"Enormogantic Fail" was actually the first Gwar comic I read, and while I don't think it's entirely successful in what it's trying to do either, the art is even better here, and the Rashomon style narrative wherein all the Gwar members give their version of the destruction of Flab Quarv 7 is pretty clever, especially when you get to the relative grimness of Pustulus' story, with its more serious art and dour writing. While I like this book and recommend it to fans of Gwar, I do think it strays too far into goofy territory without saying much. To give you an idea of what kind of book this is, we meet Blothar on the toilet after he's taken a bunch of drugs. He's meditating on the toilet, the fumes of his feces getting him higher than before. If that's funny to you, this might be your favorite comic book!

I also feel like the way the Scumdogs talk to one another feels off. They all talk in one-liners, and for the most part are interchangeable. One more thing that irks me is their treatment of Oderus. He doesn't seem to be part of their little group of death dealers, and at the end there's an epic battle between Gwar, the Destructos, and Cardinal Syn, and Oderus is there as well, for some reason. Maybe I've missed some nuance, I don't know.

Which brings me to Duo. This comic is a lightyear ahead of Gwar's previous offerings in terms of art, writing, and conception. The Gwar characters banter and bicker like the Ninja Turtles, with the book opening with the grouchy Pustulus punching the dog-like Jizmak so hard he hurtles through the walls, disturbing Blothar as he meditates quietly in his room, levitating off the ground. Blothar in particular is really well-conceived here. He's written as a giant slob, but also a meditative Viking warrior, like he's the mythological Thor. The other notable thing about Duo is its usage of the song titles from TNDA.

The first one is "Bored to Death", which is sung by Pustulus and Balsac on the album. It's an amazingly heavy and fun song, about how he's bored of killing people, and is trying to, to use the song's pun, bore people to death with drills. They're also bored of being Gwar, which leads to the inciting incident of the story when Jizmak, thrown through the fortress by the irate Pustulus, breaks Blothar's magic mirror. The two are pointlessly watching TV, Balsac is commiting suicide, and Beefcake is reading a newspaper. Things are so mundane and sucky that the slaves are actually drinking tea by the fireplace! It's like Gwar wants chaos to befall them.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the opening, where Oderus is locked in battle with his erstwhile foe, Techno Destructo! A regular jagoff named Will Fence happens to be with his dog, Pookie, when a chunk of Techno's processor gets knocked off, killing his dog! The distraught man takes the processor back and hooks it up to his computer, probably creating the internet.

Blothar and Pustulus get pulled into the broken mirror, and though Balsac, the relative genius of the group tries to repair it, he succeeds in bringing back not Blothar and Pustulus, but Blofart and Rhinestone Maximus!! While Blothar is a composed, if lazy warrior, Blofart is an insane Berserker! And while Pustulus Maximus is the hardcore metal guitarist of Gwar, Rhinestone is a fucking country singer!

The ideas at play here are so fresh and exciting that it took me by surprise, especially coming off the flimsiness of "Orgasmageddon".

The song "The New Dark Ages" is the thesis statement for this concept album/comic book. Whatever your politics, we're living in strange times. The world is more polarized than ever before, and there are people who literally live in their own realities, divorced from facts or common sense. Go to 4chan, you'll see people that think the Jews defeated Trump as part of "The Great Replacement" scheme. It's crazy.

"No more age of reason/darkness, men are lost in the gloom/No love of light is left/Where there once was science/Is now a cult of death", sings Blothar in the song, and he and Pustulus in the comic find themselves in the mirror universe, where pretty much every wild conspiracy theory is made manifest. It's a mystical space brought into being by human imagination, where the Queen of England is a lizard person, the earth is flat, and the moon landings were false flag movies made by Stanley Kubrick!

We also get a reference to the song "Blood Libel" here as Blothar and Pustulus are served babies with straws in their heads when they try to order a pizza, which is a hilarious reference to a more modern conspiracy theory, Pizzagate. Here in the mirror universe, it's real! Our heroes are monsters from space though, so they aren't too weirded out by this. It's moments like this where the inherent cheesiness of the Gwar concept really pays off, as well as the mirror verse conceit. I'm the song, "Blood Libel" Blothar points out that they aren't killing babies for adrenochrome or whatever, they do it just for fun because they're fucking Gwar. If anyone's raping babies, it's the Catholic Church! By showing it in the mirror verse, it's a tacit point that it isn't really happening in the real world. The chapter closes out with Blothar and Pustulus meeting President Sleazy's Secretary of State, who tells them how in their universe, Gwar took over the world in order to make it great again after Sleazy resurrected them with adrenochrome harvested from tortured babies. Also, he taught them to play country music instead of metal because it's a more commercial, crowd-pleasing genre. Funny stuff, especially with Gwar gleefully poking fun at themselves and their underground status.

The third chapter, "Completely Fucked" follows Blofart's rampage. Beefcake laughing at the US military's futile attempts to stop him is hilarious. Why should Gwar care if an alternative version of Blothar is destroying the world? They're Gwar! Meanwhile, Jizmak is in Mecca as Rhinestone Maximus is hypnotizing everyone at the Kaaba with his Gwarified version of achey breaky heart. Rather than avoiding the brainwashed pilgrims as they attack him, he slaughters them! I'm sure Spider-Man would approve!

Important to note as well is that the song, "The Venom of the Platypus" is referenced here as Balsac, coordinating with Bonesnapper, Jizmak, the slaves, and the rest of Gwar not in the mirror verse, has a virtual assistant named Raspy that is shaped like a platypus, and is provided by the comic's version of Apple, Macrohard, which itself is powered by the chunk of Techno's armor that Will Fence retrieved.

Balsac, being the thinker he is, decides that though the magic mirror has properties that allow Scumdogs to communicate freely across the vastness of space, it shouldn't be able to make alternative facts become real, let alone warp them into the real world. He deduces that it's because he connected it to the internet, where crazy ideas fester and take on a life of their own. Incisive commentary I wasn't expecting. Speaking of incisive commentary, Raspy, the platypus shaped Siri spoof, is an excellent critique of our reliance on the internet for our shopping, thinking, and navigation. The platypus is adorable, but is secretly venomous; furthermore, Raspy is taking orders from the entity that became self-aware when Techno's hard drive became the internet. Apple-i mean-Amazon-i-mean-google-i mean the Mad Monk!

The stage is set for carnage as the Mad Monk conspires to bring his alternative universe through the magic mirror, Rhinestone and Blofart work to take over the earth, Blothar and Pustulus try to reach President Sleazy, and Balsac is forced to call in an old enemy to help out! This post is long as fuck, so I'll have to post the rest later! Stay tuned, bohabs!
