astro notes: sun uranus conjunction 5/13

This conjunction, exact on 5/13 can inspire us to try new ventures and goals, encouraging us to step outside of our comfort zones. It can bring sudden bursts of inspiration and insight, akin to a lightning strike illuminating the darkness. This illumination can lead to breakthroughs in areas where we've been feeling stuck or stagnant, providing clarity and direction.

However, this energy can also lead to feelings of cocksure self-righteousness, where we may become overly confident in our own beliefs and dismissive of others. It's important to temper this energy with humility and openness to differing perspectives.

Aries Rising (Taurus in the 2nd House): This conjunction can shake up your sense of self-worth and values, urging you to reassess what truly matters to you. It may prompt you to break free from limiting beliefs about your worth and explore new ways to create stability in your life.

Taurus Rising (Taurus in the 1st House): This alignment directly impacts your identity and self-expression. You may feel a strong urge to break free from old patterns and embrace a more authentic version of yourself. It's a time for personal revolution and liberation.

Gemini Rising (Taurus in the 12th House): This conjunction can bring unexpected insights from your subconscious mind, leading to a deeper understanding of your true self. You may feel a strong urge to explore your spirituality or delve into your dreams and intuition for guidance.

Cancer Rising (Taurus in the 11th House): This alignment can shake up your social circles and aspirations, urging you to break free from outdated goals and align yourself with your true purpose. You may feel compelled to seek out new communities or groups that resonate with your authentic self.

Leo Rising (Taurus in the 10th House): This conjunction can impact your career and public image, urging you to break free from traditional expectations and pursue a path that aligns with your true calling. You may feel a strong urge to redefine success on your own terms.

Virgo Rising (Taurus in the 9th House): This alignment can bring unexpected opportunities for growth and expansion, urging you to break free from limiting beliefs and explore new horizons. You may feel a strong urge to travel or pursue higher education to broaden your perspective.

Libra Rising (Taurus in the 8th House): This conjunction can shake up your intimate relationships and shared resources, urging you to break free from old patterns of control or manipulation. You may feel a strong urge to transform your approach to intimacy and embrace a more authentic connection with others.

Scorpio Rising (Taurus in the 7th House): This alignment can impact your partnerships and relationships, urging you to break free from codependent patterns and embrace a more independent stance. You may feel a strong urge to redefine your relationships on equal terms.

Sagittarius Rising (Taurus in the 6th House): This conjunction can shake up your daily routines and health habits, urging you to break free from unhealthy patterns and embrace a more holistic approach to well-being. You may feel a strong urge to prioritize self-care and make positive changes to your lifestyle.

Capricorn Rising (Taurus in the 5th House): This alignment can impact your creativity and self-expression, urging you to break free from self-imposed limitations and embrace a more playful approach to life. You may feel a strong urge to pursue creative projects or hobbies that bring you joy.

Aquarius Rising (Taurus in the 4th House): This conjunction can shake up your home and family life, urging you to break free from old patterns of behavior and create a more nurturing environment for yourself. You may feel a strong urge to redefine what home means to you and prioritize your emotional well-being.

Pisces Rising (Taurus in the 3rd House): This alignment can impact your communication and mental outlook, urging you to break free from negative thought patterns and embrace a more positive mindset. You may feel a strong urge to express your ideas and opinions more freely and confidently.

It is very warm outside rn

[the-ace-with-spades]

You know people assume (and like it's their right to do so, its headcanons, etc etc don't come with pitchforks at me) that Bradley's youth queer experience would be very positive given Mav and the implied icemav of it all

But I think instead of making him more open about his sexuality in adulthood (or just unapologetic), it'd give the opposite result

This is to do with that, although he'd see happy queer people (Mav and Ice) behind closed doors, his childhood, mainly in the 80s and 90s, as well as Mav's and Ice's attitudes toward being open about their relationship, would teach him how cruel the world can be and the typical 'better safe than sorry' attitude being queer outside of typical queer spaces brings to many

He could see Mav and Ice love each other very very much, maybe to the point he'd even base his idea of love on them, but he'd also see how much maneuvering would keeping their relationship from the public cost. Sure, there are friends who supported them (flyboys, Carole, etc), but there were also countless people who would destroy their careers and lives if they ever found out (also if Mav ever adopted/fostered him, just suspicions of him being queer could put Bradley back in the system, the way things worked back in the 90s and also given how many fostering agency, even government employed, are christian-lead...)

In the instances someone would come close to discovering it, not only he'd see how distressing it can be but also how much being discovered would cost - whether this is personal safety, job security, respect, etc. And even if the worst didn't come to it, he'd still be left with the foil remarks and hate 'bullying'

As long as DADT was in place, I think he'd be equally if not more careful in comparison to what he had seen while with Mav and/or Ice

If anything I think Jake would have more of the naivety being openly and unashamedly queer takes (whether this is because he grew up in an environment with no visible queer people ergo never saw actual acts of hate toward them, or because he thinks he left the most hateful environment and nothing can be worse than it OR maybe because he is 100% or nothing kind of guy, no matter to what he commits)

my most mediterranean trait is that I'm genuinely shocked at the ratios on that “would you rather by 5 mins late or 20 mins early” poll. 5 minutes is barely late!!! it doesn't even count!!! who cares!!

Jonathan Harker would love to eat these before bed, be plagued by queer dreams, and then eat more in the morning.

Hi guys!

Err life update? I guess. I should do these more often.

If you haven't been living under a rock, I've been making @theholmwoodfoundation with @georgiacooked you should absolutely check that out if you like horror, ghosts, the Dracula novel, Sean Carlsen being exasperated or any of the writing either of us have done. I say this with full honestly that I am so very proud of the work we have put in, and the cast and crew have done amazing things with the script.

Also, for those into Gallifrey - it's full of BF Gallifrey Alumni!! (Also I honestly had no idea until later Rebecca Root was in Time War, wtf!) I think it's something very special, and I hope to think the Gallifrey fandom will enjoy a lot of the themes, but that is of course for you to decide.

I mean, Sean swears constantly in it. You all want to hear that don't you?

Kickstarter goes live on the 15th, along with the pilot so please do check it out! The Holmwood Foundation by Georgia Cook — Kickstarter

Other life things! Well, I'm now almost 7 months on HRT. and transitioning is going super well! I'm also a year since my top surgery.

Left: Pre HRT in March. Right: 7 months later.

And Georgia and I are finally looking to move in together very soon. (Yes, starting an audio drama, and moving house might be what the cards hold for next year, thanks life for doing everything at once.)

Here's two pics of us looking super cute from the other weekend. I tried to take pics at Gallifrey Cabaret but it was too dark :(

It's been one hell of a year so far and the world can still be a very scary place for people like me but I have love in my corner and we are trying out best.

--

Lastly, Georgia and I are working with @audiodramahub as part of the team to create a Podcast Festival on November 2nd! The Riverside Club, High Wycombe (UK)!

This year the group have a focus on sound design and production - featuring:

Emperor of the Daleks NICHOLAS BRIGGS as Keynote speaker

Sound Design and Fundraising Panels and Workshops (That Georgia and I are supporting!)

Voice Acting Workshop with Sarah Golding and Karim Kronfli

Speed Date Networking

IF YOU ARE IN THE UK (and can get to High Wycombe)!

Tickets can be found here

Not a podcaster and just want to see some audio dramas live? Evening only tickets are available too!

There are other things I want to talk about that I've been involved in, but I can't yet, but I'm hoping I can very very soon :)

I hope you're all doing well! Thanks for reading!

astro notes: daily transits 8/2

Friday presents a mixed bag of astrological influences, starting with a challenging Mars–Chiron semi-square that can bring up unresolved feelings around asking for what we want. This sense of hesitancy and discomfort might lead to abrupt changes in relationships, especially under the influence of a liberating Venus–Uranus square. The Cancer Moon provides some emotional stability through its trine to Saturn, but tensions rise in the afternoon and evening with squares to Chiron and Eris, indicating a defensive mood. Additionally, a Mars–Ceres quincunx tonight points to potential conflicts in interactions with loved ones.

Key Influences

Mars–Chiron Semi-square: Reawakening Insecurities: This aspect brings up unresolved issues around asserting our desires, often triggering feelings that it's not okay to ask for what we need. This can lead to internal conflict and a reluctance to express ourselves fully.

Venus–Uranus Square (26°52' Leo–Taurus): Abrupt Relationship Changes: The square between Venus and Uranus can lead to sudden and unexpected shifts in relationships. This aspect encourages breaking free from routines and seeking more freedom and authenticity in our connections.

Cancer Moon Trine Saturn (6:31 a.m.): Emotional Stability: The trine between the Cancer Moon and Saturn provides a grounding influence, helping us understand our emotional needs and how to address them effectively. This aspect supports responsible and mature handling of emotions.

Cancer Moon Square Chiron (3:53 p.m.) and Eris (7:36 p.m.): Defensive Reactions: These squares can heighten feelings of defensiveness and bring up emotional wounds. The Moon's square to Chiron in the afternoon might highlight vulnerabilities, while the square to Eris in the evening can provoke rebellious or confrontational attitudes.

Mars–Ceres Quincunx: Upsetting Interactions: This quincunx suggests potential conflicts in interactions with loved ones, possibly due to misaligned priorities or unmet needs. It indicates a need for adjustment and compromise to maintain harmony.

Integrating the Influences

Morning Grounding: Focus on Emotional Needs: Take advantage of the Cancer Moon's trine to Saturn in the morning to ground yourself emotionally. Reflect on your needs and make a plan to address them responsibly throughout the day.

Navigating Relationship Changes: Embrace Flexibility: With the Venus–Uranus square in effect, be prepared for sudden changes in relationships. Embrace flexibility and open-mindedness, allowing for freedom and authenticity in your interactions.

Handling Defensiveness: Stay Calm and Reflective: As the Moon squares Chiron and Eris, recognize that defensiveness might arise. Stay calm and reflective, avoiding knee-jerk reactions. Use this time to understand and heal your emotional triggers.

Evening Adjustments: Communicate Clearly: The Mars–Ceres quincunx highlights the importance of clear communication and compromise in interactions with loved ones. Be mindful of potential conflicts and strive to adjust your approach to foster understanding and harmony.

Practical Applications Morning Routine: Ground Yourself: Start the day with grounding activities such as meditation, journaling, or a walk in nature. Reflect on your emotional needs and how you can meet them effectively.

Relationship Flexibility: Stay Open to Change: Be open to changes in your relationships and seek opportunities for greater authenticity and freedom. Embrace new dynamics and be willing to let go of old patterns that no longer serve you.

Managing Defensiveness: Practice Mindfulness: Stay mindful of your emotional responses, especially in the afternoon and evening. Practice deep breathing or other calming techniques to manage defensiveness and prevent conflicts.

Evening Communication: Engage in Honest Dialogue: Use the evening to engage in honest and open communication with loved ones. Address any conflicts with a spirit of compromise and seek to understand each other's needs.
