Solar Return Observations pt. 9: Long Edition

readings are open

take with a grain of salt

made using whole signs + 3 degree orbs or less

💜 you could feel sleepier during years you have pisces rising in the solar chart

💜 having mars in the 12th can also indicate taking way more naps that year too

💜 years which you have mars retrograde could be years where you tackle past/buried issues

💜 mars conjunct another planet shows having to fight for your place/goals related to the house that the other planet rules (ex: leo in 11th house -> mars conjunct sun (the ruler of 11th house in this case) could mean that you have to put more effort to be included in group activities)

💜 also mars conjunct sun is a BUSY year

💜 where the asteroids forte (8780) and fama (408) land in your sr chart show the most prominent themes in your year ahead as well as the houses where leo and cancer fall

💜 conversely, the houses that capricorn and aquarius occupy are themes that you’re hung up on throughout the year, it’s hard to bring these themes to your satisfaction

💜 having the chart ruler of your juno persona chart for that year in the 12th house can indicate a loss of friends or a partner that year

💜 having pallas conjunct your 12th house ruler can show that you are constructive and productive even in times of distress or isolation throughout the year

💜 having venus trine uranus can indicate a lot of fun in the year ahead, especially with online friends, games, social media, etc…

💜 planets that trine neptune create ease/relaxation (ex: mercury trine neptune could mean less school or social stress in the year ahead)

💜 pay attention to when saturn is on the angles (asc, dsc, ic, mc), those are most likely going to be especially important years where you reach the pinnacle of some sphere in your life (the house tells you which theme/sphere)

💜 juno in the 12th house can indicate having secret admirers that year

💜 wherever aries chiron lands in your sr chart shows where you’re forced to endure and overcome wounds, there’s no escape (especially if it’s retrograde)

💜 having aries or scorpio in the 10th or mc shows breaking barriers/records that year (whether that’s on a personal or community level)

💜 similarly, having capricorn/aquarius in the mc/10th can also mean breaking records/barriers but the recognition and/or fulfillment you should receive will most likely have to wait

💜 aphrodite (1388) indicates where there’s the most drama in the year ahead

💜 having any of the work houses’ (2, 6, 10) rulers on the angles represents a culmination/fruition of a project or goal

💜 having a capricorn stellium indicates success and a likelihood of recognition having to do with the houses’ themes

💜 having gemini, libra, or taurus as your solar rising or as your rising in your ascendant pc chart for that year indicates popularity

💜 moon in venusian signs also indicate popularity and possibility of attracting more lovers as well

💜 having a succedent house’s (2, 5, 8, 11) ruler in another succedent house OR having a planet in domicile/exaltation in one of these houses can indicate wealth

💜 having any wealth-related asteroids (mony, banks, gold, etc…) in sagittarius can mean a growth in finances that year

💜 having asteroid valentine (447) in the 4th house indicates a supportive home life

💜 asteroid valentine conjunct natal neptune means having really really good experiences with a lover or a good friend

💜 juno in the 8th house can indicate a secure and in-depth partnership coming your way that year

💜 jupiter conjunct pallas (solar or solar x natal) indicates a strategic plan that pays off

💜 having mercury aspect venus can mean getting more compliments that year

💜 having uranus conjunct part of fortune (solar or solar x natal) indicates an unexpected good surprise. the solar and natal house that it falls in specifies where the surprise may come in

💜 having part of fortune in your natal 9th house shows an abundance of opportunities and possible recognition (sun has joy in the 9th house)

💜 having pluto in the first house of your mc persona chart could mean a significant change in your goals/career/ambitions

💜 i recommend looking at your solar return chart ruler’s persona chart for more details about what could happen in the year ahead

💜 pluto aspecting the mc in your solar chart shows a step up in power/reputation by doing something significant

💜 having the sun placed in the 8th house in your talent asteroid (33154) pc shows doing something ground-breaking and amazing with your talents

💜 having the 7th house ruler in the 5th house means that your relationships with others bring lots of good opportunities to you (fun, travel, doing games, etc…)

💜 having aries or scorpio as the rising sign of your mc pc for that year indicates a lot of activity in your work and/or public life

💜 having a 1st house stellium can show a fresh start in the sign the stellium is in (ex: libra stellium in the 1st house can show a new beauty regiment that you take on in the year ahead)

💜 8 degrees on the ascendant can mean that you’re wayyy more determined and require more alone time as well that year

💜 having mercury in the 1st house of your dsc pc shows talking to a variety of people (the sign of mercury can show why)

💜 having the chart ruler in domicile in your dsc pc means being more popular that year

hope you enjoyed!

Billy x female reader where she gets the same sickness as her mother and brother but she manages to survive and he takes her to their graves (yep long hours traveling) just to share that part of his past with her because he loves her and is glad she survived because he wouldn’t have bared another lose

hiiii this is so brutally late. im sorry. ive also adjusted a little because i wanted to write it but im so bad at writing travel and couldn't figure out a way to do it that didn't feel drawn out but i can do a part 2 if u want!!

warnings: dscs of death and illness

Billy feels like he's been living in a haze. First a haze of ignorance, pretending that he didn't recognize the wet, hacking sound of the coughs you muffled into your elbow, that the way your brow bloomed with dry heat didn't throw him back into the pit of being seventeen and curled around his mother's febrile form. Then a moment of clarity, like a bucket of ice dumped over his head, when the doctor touched his elbow and confirmed consumption. Finally, and he can't decide which stage he's hated most, a thick fog of despair and desperation, rimy water dripping from washcloths down his arm in twin trails to the sweat he's wiping from your forehead, trying to convince himself of minute drops in your dogged temperature. He nurses broth down your raw throat and prayers up his own, pleas to a God he might not believe in to just leave him with something good in this world and pleas to himself to believe that this time will be different.

And he might just make a return to church, because his calls are answered. Slowly, like a slug creeping to salt, you recover. Color fades from the pyretic spots high on your cheeks and returns to the rest of your face, you sleep through the night without a coughing fit tearing you awake. The brightness in your eyes starts to look more lively and less dazed, and eventually you're strong enough to stand and bathe. Billy helps you into the tub and then opts to sit outside the door -- close enough that his anxiety isn't spiking, that if something happens he can help, but far enough that you can regain some of the autonomy that is ripped away in illness.

He'll never quite figure out why he says this. Maybe it’s the dim candlelight, coaxing the world out of reality and into a dream, a place where anything that happens will stay forever locked somewhere out of time. Maybe it’s that he wants to pretend you have the kind of relationship that demands this honesty, because you've said “‘Til death do us part” and meant it and so he owes you his greatest love and his deepest fears. He'd give you the former without question, of course, but he's still practicing that the latter is an unavoidable sidecar to that kind of devotion.

"I thought you were going to die," he says, and his stomach immediately twists in shame. You're recovering still, and here he is making it about himself. When you don't say anything, surely listening in that tranquil, soft-eyed way that you somehow always managed, he continues.

"I wish you could've met my ma. She was...good, like you. At her core, that's all there was, this sturdy kindness that I never understood how she maintained. Sometimes she'd say that when good people died young, it meant that God thought that spirit belonged more in Heaven than on Earth, and I was so scared that he got...impatient again, with you, and I was so scared that..."

Silence for a moment, then your voice, still hoarse:

"I would've liked to meet her too. She must have been quite the woman, to have raised someone like you."

Billy snorts out a laugh. "Something like that."

There's the sound of sloshing, and Billy can see the way your spine curves in his mind's eye, chest pressed to your thighs and chin rested on your knee. He can hear the way the position stretches your neck in your voice when you speak.

"I'm not letting anyone take me away from you. I don't care how much I'm needed somewhere else, I need to be here with you. You make it easy to be this good, Billy. It isn't in spite of yourself that you always manage to find warmth; there isn't a fire I've found that...exists without stoking."

Tears prickle his eyes and his throat tightens so that the next deep breath he takes squeaks like his voice is dropping again. He can't bring himself to use the crackly tone he knows is the only one he can access now.

"We should visit your ma," you suggest. "Someone's gotta tell her what a wonderful young man she raised."

"Her grave is far," he manages, though the end of the sentence cracks and so does the dam, silent tears streaking his face. In all truth, it's not outrageously far, but he's been scared to visit. Scared to tell his ma who he's had to (chosen to?) become, scared she'll smell the gunsmoke that seems to cling to his hands and clothes and memories, scared she'll meet the ghosts that have become more like his shadow.

There's the patter of wet feet on the bathroom floor and he stands with the intention of making himself scarce by the time you emerge, leaving nothing but the pale ghost of his vulnerability on the floor outside the bathroom as proof of the wall that just crumbled there. He'll calm in bed until you're done bathing, and hope for your mercy in disregarding his momentary fragility. But the door clicks open and there you are in your nightgown. There you are with your skin scrubbed clean, you with your hair in the braid you wear to sleep. There you are with tears on your face, with your arms open to him like the Virgin Mary, offering a forgiveness that he doesn't deserve. The guilt of this will carve stigmata into his hands later, nailing him to the cross of his history, but for now he takes the pity and collapses into you.

"We'll start out tomorrow," you say, overcoming the awkward angle your height difference creates to pet his hair. "I'd like to meet her. We should bring her flowers."

Big List of Universes in Star Trek:

Prime

Where most of Trek takes place. TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, DSC, LWD, PRO, PIC, SNW etc. Gets a bit complicated in that the Temporal Wars from Enterprise have explicitly rewritten some events but for the most part it's all one enormous continuity. Just don't ask about the Eugenics Wars

Kelvin

Where the rebooted movies take place, essentially Prime until the day of Jim Kirk's birth, when a Romulan from the Prime future appears and begins wreaking havok, sending events on a familiar but different path with more running and explosions

Mirror

The morally inverted version of the Prime universe. Often the same people in the same place at the same time as Prime except under radically different circumstances. The Kelvin timeline has it's own mirror universe and the Coda books imply they're different sides of the same coin so perhaps every universe has it's mirror. Everyone dresses very slutty and all the women are at the very least bi. Almost as if it was written by men to appeal to teenage boys.

The First Splinter

Where the entire Star Trek novelverse takes place. Essentially Prime up until First Contact, although many events after that tie into ones hundreds of years before so it's all a bit complicated. Hundreds of stories exist here, as varied and amazing and sometimes awful as the TV shows and movies. Erased from history in 2387 but everyone you've loved and read about for years die horrible, horrible deaths first

Megas Tu

Accessed through a portal at the centre of our galaxy, a universe where magic is real and the source of many Earth myths and legends. Lucien is Satan but he's actually a pretty cool guy. Kirk and Spock learned to use magic there.

Parallels

300,000 universes converge, ranging from ones where Worf has a different painting in his quarters to him banging Troi to the Borg having conquered the Federation

Reverse

Black stars on a white void, ships fly backwards, at warp 36, the elderly grow young and live backwards and I'm afraid to ask how this reverse life ends

Second History

From the novel Killing Time. Super gay and angsty. Romulans alter history, leading to Spock being captain and Jim Kirk being a drug addict ensign on the V.S.S. ShiKahr

Renegades

A bootleg version of Star Trek in a fan film universe, altered on day two of filming after the Axanar drama began. It's Star Trek with the serial numbers just barely filed off. The Confederation instead of the Federation, Sector 6 instead of Section 31, Kovok instead of Tuvok, Jemison instead of Uhura, Rigillians instead of Romulans and so on. 2 novels were released which try to differentiate the universes more clearly, and the last Renegades film Ominara re-reboots the whole thing and features an Uhura-ish character and the Star Trek ish sets, but otherwise everything else is different.

Fascistverse

Created by Q to test Jean-Luc and friends in season 2 of Picard, this was along the lines of the Mirror universe but with a divergence point in 2024, if Trump wins the election if Picard's ancestor Renee goes into space or not.

Musical

A crossover with this universe in SNW "Subspace Rhapsody" leads to the quadrant singing uncontrollably, accompanied by music and with full choreography.

Asteroids you should check out in Solar Return chart part 1

Hii, i'm backk all :3

Before i start today's post, i'd like to thank each and everyone one of you who engaged with my last post! Your support means the world to me <33

I was really shy to start posting and i postponed it for a long time lol

Anyway, back to astro business🪐

(The first asteroid observation is inspired by one of @a-d-nox post's)

🌹 Asteroids Orpheus (3361) and Eurydike (75) indicate the year you’re gonna get engaged or married.

If the aspect is positive (trine, sextile) then it indicates marrying one of your greatest loves, but it will eventually end in divorce. If the aspect is negative (opposite, square) then the marriage is doomed from the beginning and it will still end up in divorce. The girls (for some reason i noticed it's only relevant in your chart if you're a female? idk why tho) who don’t have an exact aspect (0-3 degree orb) between these 2 asteroids in any year in their solar return chart may still get married, but it won’t be a passionate love marriage and it’s much more likely for it to last a long time.

(For the next asteroids, check if they aspect SR Sun, Moon, ASC, DSC, IC, MC, Venus, Mars or Mercury)

⚰️ Having asteroid Grieve (4451) prominent in solar return chart indicates a year when someone important to you will die.

It gives you information about the way you process this person’s death. It may also indicate just a great loss, even if the person hasn’t died in the physical realm (for ex. a difficult break-up).

Story time! (nobody asked me lol)

Back in 2021 i used to talk with this guy online, we were in a "long-distance relationship" even if soon after i realised i just got attached to him strongly and i didn't actually have romantic feelings for him. It lasted around 5 months which is a lot for me (i've got Sagittarius Venus y'all, i'm noncommittal af). Even if i've been wanting for the relationship to end for a long time, when it actually ended, i had a very hard time moving on from him. Turns out i had Grieve conjunct my Sun in 3rd house that year, which was also opposing my 9th house Uranus. I'm honestly glad i'm over it now.

⭐ I noticed nobody has been mentioning this asteroid yet, but having Zdislava (5275) proeminent in solar return chart is a big indicator of becoming famous that year.

Zdislava is a Czech girl name which literally translates to "created with glory". It is the feminine form of Zdislav, which was duke of Croatia in the late 9th century.

⭐ Of course, you can also check asteroid Fama (408) which is, well, self-explanatory.

Having Zdislava/Fama asteroid conjuncting your SR Mars would make you gain fame suddenly, basically wake up the next day famous lulz. You might also be known for your drive, never giving up attitude or you might become popular in the sport industry that year (it does depend on the sign it is in tho).

Having Zdislava/Fama asteroid conjuncting your SR Venus would make you famous for your looks. You will attract the attention of the opposite sex quite easily that year. You might also become famous in the fashion industry or in the arts.

That's all for today folks!! Soon i will start to give paid readings, so follow me if you don't wanna miss it <3

request: “Hmm… Hashira! reader who is normally shy gets drunk and flirts with a white hatted stranger. they don’t know he’s the demon king, & muzan humors them. turns out drunk reader is very charismatic and entertaining, ended up making out with muzan for a while. like, a hour. when the big battle happens, they encounter muzan and reader remembers everything, feeling their lips to still feel muzan’s on them. shy hashira reader is red faced and stuttering lol”

AN: heya, very sorry for the long delay of this ask. i’ve been extremely busy for the past 2 weeks but i’m gonna take some time off to complete this. as an apology for my absence, i decided to take it upon myself to make this a 2 PART story (this might be counted as a series). i will also like to add that, i kinda exaggerated his outfit he was wearing because like.. it was thoughts running throughout my head. so just a heads up, i’m a little descriptive of his outfit. and MAYYYY… have gotten carried away on this one. so i apologize in advance 🙏🏾.

request by @cursetopia

𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐍 - pt. 1

pt. 1 | pt. 2

muzan x hashira! reader

warnings/notes: 16+ blog, semi-nsfw, suggestive content, dancing/clubbing (yk, they might be all touchy-feely or wtv), grinding, making out, modern(ish?) au mixed with the present (if that makes sense).

synopsis: you are a shy hashira who has took the time to cut loose, enjoy yourself; until you encounter a man in a white hat. things turn very intimate until a few days later, you encounter him again. not expecting he was the enemy… the enemy who the DSC hates the most.

you were feeling very bold tonight. you don’t know what it was, but your shy nature wasn’t there anymore when you were out on the dance floor, letting loose and releasing your inner freak. you order a couple of drinks and got yourself to the point you forgot where you was. enjoying yourself to the fullest; ignoring the people that surrounded you.

but you senses started to somewhat sneak in, feeling a presence coming straight towards you. you got a good look at him even if your vision relatively blurry. he was wearing a black/sliver vest, a white-long sleeved dress shirt, and some black dress pants and sliver loafers. he’s kinda over-dressed for this type of environment but you didn’t even seem to care. he lifts up the white hat that was covering his face, revealing his beautiful crimson but vibrant eyes.

the way his eyes shined within the dim lights in the room everyone was in, was breathtaking. he was undeniably attractive and you were too stunned to speak, even though you weren’t even sober. the music that was playing shifted into a more intimate vibe. so people are about to to get real touchy.

you started to sway your hips to the beat and eventually making your way towards him; wrapping your arms around his neck, closing the gap between you two.

he chuckled and admired how bold you’ve been, ever since you saw him. he puts his hands on each side of your hips, moving to the rhythm.

“i’ve never seen somebody so overdressed in this type of establishment…” you smirked. he laughs to himself, not denying the fact that; it is true.

“well, i like to stand out from the crowd. not dressing the way others do it, nowadays,” he replied, still helping to swaying your hips. you nod at his response and took it in as you go.

“what’s your name?” he asked curiously.

“y/n.”

“nice to meet you, y/n. the names muzan.” he smiled.

“well muzan, all this staring is making me uncomfortable. wanna go somewhere private?” you asked.

he nods as you lead him to some dark corner, away from the people entering the club. as soon as your back hits the wall, your lips crashed onto his. he wraps his arms around your waist, deepening the kiss and licking your bottom lip to be let inside your mouth.

you gladly allowed him to do so and moan in his mouth. you felt a knee go against your crotch. you let out a gasp, letting more arousal build up between you both. he notices and takes the lead by moving his knee and listening to your moans come out from your throat.

you both continue to make love in the corner until the night was over.

-

AN: welp, that’s the end of part 1; i really hope you all enjoyed. i’m trying to experiment with newer writing styles and see what i like best. stay tuned for part 2 (coming soon)! also, be sure to like & reblog. it motivates me to continue to create content! you don’t have to, just a suggestion <3.

my 2024 solar return predictions

it's 11 days until my solar return this year. perhaps I'll write about how I spent each day leading up to and after the Solar Return. but for now, I want to explore my Solar Chart for 2024. spoiler: I hope I won't die. literally. but let's be consequent. 1. Leo Rising in the 1°. it's a really interesting story about how fate can't be avoided. Initially, I thought I would meet my Solar Return at home, with my Ascendant in Cancer in the last degree. when I saw this, I said, "no way. I don't want to deal with family issues all year." so, I decided to go to another town. ironically, this 1° change affected the Sun either. initially it was in the 3rd house but with Leo Rising it moved to the 4th. so, being the ruler of the ASC, the 4th housed Sun still emphasizes the inevitable importance of family to me this year. alright, I've got it. but still, I hope Leo will still work out. I have plans to improve my appearance and solve problems in this area that have been bothering me for a long time. additionally, I want to activate my artistic potential and become more visible and active on social media. I don't expect to become a high-class celebrity, but still... moreover, the Solar ASC is located in my Natal 11th house, so I believe it should work well.

2. the 2nd and the 3rd Solar Houses are also in Leo, with their ruler, thein the 4th house (☌ with IC, actually). ◄ as for the 2nd house: as you may know, we begin to feel the effects of the upcoming Solar Chart before the Solar Return occurs. recently, I have felt a strong desire to pursue a remote job, or at least a part-time remote job from home in addition to my current one. perhaps I could do so and work from home if we consider the fourth house as a place of real estate. the Cusp of the 2nd Solar House falls in my Natal 11th house, so I may receive some assistance from friends? I will also look for other confirming signs... ◄ as for the 3rd house, the situation is more or less clear here. as this house is responsible for brothers and sisters... my little sister is now living with me (the ruler is in the 4th house, right?). the issue is that she has exams to graduate from school next summer, and she is now studying from home remotely (the Cusp of the 3rd Solar House is in the 12th Natal House). having Solar Virgo Mercury here, I am planning to be her tutor throughout the year. aside from my siblings, the Solar Mercury is in exact ☌ with my Natal ASC. moreover, I have both Mercury and the 1st house ruling this year in profection. I believe communication, connections, and education - all activities related to the 3d (Gemini) house - will be EXTREMELY highlighted this year. well, I hope so. it should be interesting. the connection with the 12th Natal House... will I continue writing about astrology? who knows. by the way, it's fun, but I already feel the urge to re-take an exam to receive a driving license that I gave up on last year (also the issue of the 3rd House).

3. I've already mentioned my 4th house a lot, and I want to add that I have Solar Virgo IC located in my 1st Natal house. my Solar 4th house Venus is in ☌ with my Natal 2nd house Venus in Libra. I am currently undergoing renovations at my place of residence. I need to paint the walls, buy a new bed, a high mirror etc... the upcoming beautification of my home is quite predictable, and it, obviously, requires money. so, hi, 2nd Natal House...

4. the 5, 6 house. interesting situation, because I little bit lack of ideas.

Solar House - Sign - Placements - SH Cusp in Natal House:

5H - Scorpio - Sagittarius Vertex ☌ Natal IC, Pluto, Chiron - 2H. 6H - Sagittarius - Pluto in Capricorn's last ° ☌ Solar Aquarius DSC and Part of Fortune - 4H.

overall connection of 4, 5, 6 and 7 houses... I also have Solar Juno in the 4th house. idk what is it, predestined relationship with someone different than me and related to my work? I've given up on relationships and prefer to see it as a business opportunity. I really hope that my artistic potential will be unlocked and that I can monetize my skills. with the 5th house Sagittarius Vertex on the Natal IC I may receive recognition or support from family or my homeland? or, maybe, on the contrary, Sagittarius will push me to aim outside? the Cusp of the 6th house in Sagittarius could add to this. there is also an interesting placement of Solar Pluto. the matter is that it aims to leave the 6th house and has ☌ with Solar DSC and Part of Fortune. I had a very... heavy 6th house for several last years, and I've been feeling overwhelmed by routine. perhaps this is a sign that my work process will change and I need to rely on partnerships more. If we consider it from a health perspective, I think I understand what changes it may bring to my daily routine. I'm planning to get braces this year. God bless, my Pluto this year is mostly positively aspected - being in the connection with the DSC it obviously ☍ ASC. And □ the 5th house. however, my Uranus is strong in Natal 5th house. + Solar Pluto makes △ with Solar Sun and Uranus. so I think everything will be fine, despite my fear of some unexpected health effects from Pluto. moreover, I have additional signs. but I'll write about them later.

5. DSC and the 7th house. it's the most difficult part for me to analyze, as I'm totally dumb with any relations. well, I have Part of Fortune in Aquarius ☌ Natal Neptune here. and I can't say for sure whether it will make my luck dream-like or make me completely blind and overestimate myself. well, DSC ruler Uranus is in the 11th house in Taurus, also placed in the 9th Natal House. the Solar DSC is in the 5th Natal House. please, I'm so tired of drama, please, can it be something fun, light and cool? (haha, Pluto ☌ is like "hello-hello, no, haha"...)

6. the 8 and 9th houses. both are in Aquarius.

the 8th Solar house, despite being empty, is located in the 5th Natal house. remember my question from the previous point? well, answer is "no" once again, I guess...

the ruler is in the Solar 11th house (in the Natal 9th). betrayal from friends? new foreign dangerous friends? some transforming experience with education and collectives? still, it's not that bad, my Natal 8th house (Aries) ruler is Mars in the 12th house, so should I be used to the 8th house things? however, Aquarius is still a little bit frightening with its unexpectedness...

the 9th house... the Moon and Saturn are here. exactly just like in my Natal, ha. guess, I shouldn't even hope to go travel abroad this year. again, like the whole life before. both the Moon and Saturn are in Pisces. despite my Natal Taurus Moon doesn't allow me to regret these restrictions too much, guess, Pisces Moon can make me more vulnerable to this topic throughout the year. I'll probably continue learning languages and maybe even make foreign friends with the ruler in the 11th house. also Solar Saturn ☌ Natal DSC in Pisces. probably it may signify someone older who can teach me how to communicate and maintain partnerships? yes, in Natal Chart Saturn is ruling my 5th house, but I prefer not to focus on relationships to avoid disappointment later.

7. the Solar MC is in Pisces. ☌ with the Solar Moon. the Cusp is in the 7th Natal house. Neptune, ruling the MC, is also here. again, some distortion of my career/public relations vision? am I in danger of underestimating something? it would be interesting to see how I will deal with this. the best of the best is starting right now. Aries North Node and Chiron in the 10th house. it could be great and maybe give me some energy an resources. however. the North Node is in ☌ with the Natal 8th Cusp. Chiron, consequently, is in the 8th Natal House either. does this mean that career development could harm me, or should I break myself and, regardless, develop leadership and inner resources for success in my career? it's scary. btw, Solar Chiron ☍ Solar Venus. I guess I'll continue to make my appearance far from "traditional venusian" - I've had this aspect this year either - tattoos, piercings etc.

8. the 11th Solar house in Taurus (the Cusp lies in the 8th Natal House). strange combination. from the one hand, it's absolutely not the best placement. on the other hand, benefic Jupiter is here. on the OTHER hand, it's essentially weak (in Gemini) and has □ with the Sun, Moon, IC and 10th house. on the OTHER hand, it has the same sign I have in my Natal Chart and it's considered to be beneficial... hardly understand what to expect from Jupiter. especially as I had hoped for blessings from having it in the 1st house this year, but nothing "jupiterial" happened at all. Uranus is also here, so I anticipate some changes in relationships with friends and possibly a shift in understanding of myself within the group. also having Solar Taurus Uranus close to my Natal Saturn, along with other placements, makes me slightly anxious about my elderly. hope, everything will be fine.

9. the last one. the Solar 12th house in Gemini. it can bring cognitive difficulties or doubts about intellectual capacity and proficiency, especially for those with Mercury as a dominant planet (me). however, I believe that this can be compensated by a strong Solar Mercury placement. the problem is that I have Cancer Mars in the 12th house and this damn Mars makes □ to the Natal 8th house and the Solar North Node. and I remember all the scary placements, like Pluto and Chiron, as well as the North Node. I was still trying to maintain my composure at that point. and what else?! Mars? amazing. I really hope I won't die or become seriously ill or injured, nor will my loved ones. btw, the connected 6, 8 and 12 houses in Solar Chart are the main indicators of some disastrous events, and I pray that this year will be a year of great transformation, not a year of losing something or someone important..

that's how it is.

Thank you for reading!

It's odd to me when people state that Michael being connected to Spock in a familial way limits her character. I find it odd because we literally see in Discovery that her origin doesn't begin on Vulcan with the S'chn T'gai family.

It began with her biological parents, Mike Burnham Sr and Dr. Gabrielle Burnham - 2 scientists who cracked the code on time travel and formed a loving family. As a matter of fact, the earliest depiction of Michael is in the short trek, The Girl Who Made the Stars. A story where Mike Burnham Sr is telling Michael a story, a very Afrofutuistic story. (DSC did it before SNW).

She was with them until she was 10, which is plenty of time for their influence on her to take root and be remembered by her. As proof of that, Michael follows in her father's footsteps in becoming a xenoanthropologist and studied Quantum Physics, which was the science Dr. Burnham studied. This was stated by Burnham in season 1.

In season 2, Dr. Burnham plays a major role in the overarching story, as well as the development of Michael herself. In seasons 3 and 4, we get more of Michael and Dr. Burnham's relationship. IMO, this was the relationship that was missing in S5.

My point is that Michael Burnham's existence and story began before and goes far past Spock, Vulcan, and the S'chn T'gai family. Yes, they play a significant part in her story, but they aren't all there is to her story. The people who do the most belly-aching about it intentionally ignore all other aspects of her story, but will turn around and say Discovery didn't tell you anything about her. That's a lie.

Let me say it this way. They choose to hyperfocus on her relationship/retcon with Spock to avoid engaging with any other aspect of her story.

How should we handle seeding this bracket?

So let me leave some context before going into the poll itself

We have 128 submissions for our bracket which is awesome! During the first run, we left things entirely random as to who'd get put where. This time, we're not sure!

There's a lot of fandom overlap, and a majority of submissions were only submitted once... very few got more than 2 submissions so it's extremely difficult to seed for popularity too! So I'm leaving it to you guys to pick how seeding works!

Random: Every character is placed in the bracket entirely randomly

Group fandoms together: Characters from the same fandom (for example - Geminiman and Iceman are both from the Megaman franchise) are grouped together- this could prevent characters from the same fandom taking up the majority of the bracket and could possibly lead to more fandom diversity, but would also mean all-but-one character in a fandom would get eliminated early on

Seed by popularity: Purposely set up the bracket so that characters who received 2+ submissions (24 total) are purposely not placed next to each other on the bracket in round 1. Characters with 3+ submissions (6 total) will be placed as far apart as possible in the bracket to ensure they wouldn't match till later in the bracket if they win their first few rounds

Fandoms + Popularity: A combination of options 2 and 3: Characters in the same fandom are placed near each other, and those with 2+ submissions will try to be placed so they're not next to each other for round 1 matches. Might get finicky to set up if those rules clash but we're up for that challenge if youse want it!

(My) Natal Observations Part 2

Mercury in Libra 7H

In my one-on-one conversations, I feel really comfortable communicating the way I used to and I do make use of analogies and metaphors MOST of the times. Although in social settings or online group conversations, I often get in trouble and be misunderstood given my complex style of communication. This would also mean that my spouse is gonna be youthful as well as analytical (Mercury). Hopefully that's the case, I would love to be in a communicative and intimate relationship. Probably analytical definitely... I have Virgo DSC. And I have this at 11° so I can really be a tad bit weird in communication.

Venus in Leo 5H

NOW THIS IS BULLSHIT I AM TELLING YOU (not serious). But then this kind of Venus placement is well regarded by others to have a bombastic love life. I'm definitely creative and talented (many interests and that desire to be Renaissance Man), but no way in hell have I gotten into a relationship. No one likes me romantically and I don't think it's an appearance issue anymore cuz I feel good about myself right now. Even then, I would only get into a relationship when I'm out of the Philippines. I have a cycle breaking karma to fulfill that would translate into a cultural barrier over here. Do I desire fame? Definitely. I desire to be recognized for my works and creative pursuits. I am dead set on the creative industry and my YouTube business. I would also want daughters in the future.

Stay tuned for Part 3!!

[kpoptarotastrology009]

can you do a solar return chart for aespa this year? What’s coming for them please? They debuted at 6pm on November 17, 2020

Aespa's 2024 solar return chart

( i only will focus on the main things in the solar return )

1- Sun in the 7th house conjunct the DSC :

With the Scorpio Sun right on the DC in the 7th house for the solar return chart, aespa will likely experience a year where their public image and relationships are under intense scrutiny. They might form or break significant partnerships, undergo transformative changes in their lineup, or experience deep emotional bonding with each other and their fans.

Fan Relationships: The bond with their fans could become more profound and intense, potentially involving more personal and emotional content in their work.

Group Dynamics: Within the group, there might be power dynamics at play. Some members could emerge as more dominant or influential, leading to potential conflicts or transformative experiences.

Public Perception: The public and media might see them as more mysterious, intense, or powerful this year. This could attract a lot of attention, both positive and negative.

2 - moon conjunct Jupiter in Gemini in the 1st house and square Saturn in Pisces and opposite mercury in Sagittarius :

This year, aespa's astrological forecast is quite the adventure! With the Moon and Jupiter joining forces in Gemini, cozying up in the 1st house, get ready for a whirlwind of emotions and ideas. This combo suggests that the group's public image will be full of lively, enthusiastic energy, with a strong emphasis on emotional expression and intellectual curiosity. They're likely to come across as witty, sociable, and eager to learn and share new things . However, this energetic vibe might face some challenges, especially with Saturn in Pisces throwing some cosmic shade with a square aspect. This could indicate moments of feeling restricted or held back, perhaps by emotional responsibilities or self-doubt. The key here is to find a balance between their enthusiastic communication style and the need for discipline and realistic expectations . Adding to the cosmic mix is the opposition between the Moon-Jupiter duo and Mercury in Sagittarius. This aspect suggests a dynamic tension between detailed, immediate concerns (Gemini) and broader, more philosophical ideas (Sagittarius). The group might find themselves juggling different viewpoints or struggling to integrate diverse information. It's a call to find harmony between the nitty-gritty and the big picture in their creative endeavors and interactions.

3 - mars being in Leo conjunct the IC and opposite Pluto in the 9tth house that conjunct MC :

This year, aespa is in for a cosmic adventure! With Mars in Leo, they're feeling bold and passionate, especially about their roots and personal lives. They're likely to be bursting with creative energy, eager to make their mark in their private spheres. but Mars is also in opposition to Pluto in the 9th house, which is conjunct the MC. This could bring some intense power struggles, particularly concerning their career and public image. They might face significant transformations and challenges , but it's all about how they handle these cosmic energies ( we actually saw a little bit of that in the MHJ and Hybe problem and the hate that came to aespa for no reason just because hybe takes them as a threat but the best thing that they over come it and take it to their advantage )

4 - Part of Fortune conjunct with Mercury:

This year is like hitting the jackpot for aespa! With the Part of Fortune aligning with Mercury, it's as if the universe is handing them a golden microphone. Their communication skills are set to sparkle with luck and harmony, creating a magical effect on everyone around them. This cosmic combo not only boosts their ability to express themselves creatively but also opens doors to new learning opportunities and intellectual pursuits. They might find themselves effortlessly picking up new skills or diving into exciting projects that stimulate their minds. Overall, this alignment brings a wave of positivity to their interactions and endeavors. They'll be chatting and singing their way into people's hearts, building harmonious relationships with fans and collaborators alike. It's a year where their words are not just heard but celebrated, paving the way for creative success and fulfilling experiences.

5- Uranus exactly conjunct the Ascendant in Taurus :

this is in for some electrifying changes with Uranus exactly conjunct the Ascendant in Taurus! This cosmic combo brings a fresh, unpredictable energy to their public image. Expect them to embrace a bold new style that sets them apart, mixing Taurus's stability with Uranus's flair for the unexpected. They'll be experimenting with new ways of expressing themselves, both musically and visually, keeping their fans on their toes. This aspect encourages them to take risks, break away from traditional expectations, and fully embrace their individuality. Their public presence will be dynamic and ever-changing, making this year an exciting journey of transformation and innovation for both the group and their fans .

Oh i almost forgot. If you have many theories about Jk's chart of fs you should also consider opening your own blog about it :) Don't take it personally, but it would be a shame that all of your theories only gets credits on my blog rather than yours :/ Think about it ^

I would've done that but i like to be anonymous and I dont have any problem with your blog getting credits because I'm here just to learn and have fun.This isn't my main focus in life but I'm free for some months because of maternity leave(I'm 7 months in yayyyyy!!)I'm probably the oldest person on this blog too ig because i dont think anyone on this blogs a 92liner.

I came up with something more and this is something i'd REALLY like for you to give your more than two cents on.

So I started this study like a year ago and its about the possible placements your fs can have.i kept doing it for a while and then i thought about how juno,bride,groom,dsc PC's would be much better to guess the fs chart.

By studying his bpc and his NC I have a few guesses about his fs' possible placements/dominants.

1.she IS definitely having strong cancer placements.(no explanation needed)

2.it can also be that she may have strong 4h placements OR can be moon dominant.(if not the 1st guess then this)

3.mars in 10h or cap mars or mars in a cap degree.(guaranteed success)

4.leo placements or degrees or prominent 5h placements.(creativity,childlike,fame,etc)

5.sun in 10h or sun at leo/cap degree.(same as 3 and 4 guess)

6.pluto-venus aspects,Venus/lilith/pluto in 8h/1h.(magnetism,envy,jealousy,obsession,inference,rich spouse)

7.virgo rising or its degrees on asc.(she's blunt and a bit sharp)

8.gemini Venus or venus in Gemini degrees.(this venus sign is compatible with libra venus and he has geminivenusin bpc too also talking about her having venus-pluto aspects this sign kinda suits it)

9.Sun/moon/saturn aspects.(daddy issues)

10.jupiter in 2h,4h or 11h.(rich family background,big communities, finances and luxuries)

11.this one is random but i see her with a leo mc or an Aries mc OR mc in those degrees.the possible risings with these mc's could be cancer,leo,Libra,scorpio.

12.the above 4 rising signs make the most sense to me.when it comes to his fs I imagine someone soft but sharp.she MAY have these rising signs with virgo degrees.

I have more guesses but they're random.

Talking about the age gap thing,my husband has two stelliums of scorpio and virgo with Libra Moon and I'm 7 years younger than him so ig we wont have to worry too much about Jk's age gap choice because i dont think he'll go for someone MORE younger than 5-7 years of age gap.

Uyu your more than two cents juseyo.

Oh by the way i just wanted to tell you that you don't have to post everyday or keep researching on it daily because it takes up alot of time and energy,it is very draining too so take care of yourself and I hope you and your bf's fight has been resolved yet or will be soon.

✌️anon.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I hope it's going very well for you! Yeah Im a 99liner lol! You're not alone, Seokjin's in your team lol!

-> Cancer placement is big to me as it's literally his DSC and the Sun in the BPC! So the spouse will def have cancer placement in her big 6! Otherwise it can't be her lol! And it has to be something that Is very significant in her chart, something you can see on her easily. Like "you give me cancer vibes" stuff like that lol

-> She def has placements in her own chart about success and fame, she literally is destined for that

-> Leo placements are crazy lmao, that's why I always sensed some Leo vibes from JK, now I know why lmao

-> Yep, Leo sun, or sun being in the 10H I agree, it's one of the first factor when it comes to fame or success without using asteroids. North node in Leo can be a thing too, it's also part of it.

-> For the virgo, def on her big six, idk about ascendant because she gives me the vibe of being so beautiful, and I'm not saying virgo asc aren't pretty but asc Virgos have that cold and stoic beauty. They look pretty distant. To me she maybe has that mysterious beauty like scorpio rising, or charming beauty like libra rising. Could also be cancer or pisces rising! Virgo rising can be a thing but it wouldn't be my first guess. but don't mark my words on it, I wasn't very successful at guessing people's asc lmao

-> For the Venus, it would either be an air one (libra, gemini, Aquarius) or it would be something that aspect his sun (either conjunct so virgo Venus, or another one that aspects his sun). Or also libra Venus for the conjunction or another that aspect. JK will def have that sense that she is the one for him, so anything aspecting his Venus or sun will work out. (a good aspect too so conjunct, sextile or trine)

-> For the age gap, I don"t wanna assume things but it doesn't seem like jk will marry that late and I saw some readers say they'll have 10 years of difference of something but in I absolutely don't see it?? On his chart, I saw placements that indicates 1-2 to 5 years of difference max? She is not that young compared to him. She LOOKS very young, but she isn't, this is what I see! The cancer placements are always very tricky lmao! And if people keep saying they'll be together in 2027 (JK's Saturn return, he will be 29) so 19 if ten years of difference???? idk that seems odd to me, I don't sense it. I feel like she'll be working and be in her successful time at the time!

Thank you for your analysis! And sorry for taking so long to reply, it takes me time to concentrate and give proper answers :)

How the zodiac signs influenced your appearance?

Birth chart: Nina Dobrev

Little analysis about Her and also the placements in Zodiac signs.

Having Sagittarius in 4 house, 12 house, Sagittarius stellium, and sag influence degree illustrates the foundation or bond of one's roots (ancestors), home and family.

╰┈➤ If someone has their sag started and placed in 4th house or 12 house. There was a chance that it would raise the nationalities or ethnicities of the person because it was often associated with having 2 or more of them.

Like for example: Nina Dobrev is a well-known actress from The Vampire Diaries (I love how she changed her looks, voice, and personality from the show). Her ASC is Sagittarius and placed in the 12th house. Anyway, She is Half-bulgarian and Canadian (so, yep like I said more than one ethnicity

Author's Note: (I also want myself to be an example, my fourth house starts at Sagittarius at 21° degrees (containing chiron) which is placed on Capricorn.  I don't look like pure-blooded Asian at all (Even my classmates always mentioned it), and then, when I asked my mom she said that our ancestors came from West (Spain and Portugal) while my dad was from East Asian (Chinese/Korean).

Venus starts at Sagittarius 12house placing at the first house with a Cancer degree.

╰┈➤The first house was ruled by 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘, 𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡, 𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙-𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗘 because of Aries influenced which represents brain, head and face. Venus in 'abstract sense' is all about 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡.  

When the Venus leaps in Sagittarius (which is her 12th house ruling and ACS) it makes the person petite and skinny, esp (if there no Jupiter/ 10th house influenced). People often think that she mess up her face because she stayed up in small/skinny/thin frame structure. About the physical ability, people noticed how her eyelid space changes from small to big which is connected to 1st house ruling Aries. Her so-called fans has been speculated that she had it done which until now remained to be rumors. And yes, Mostly sag' eyes are really wide (all about structure), and her cancer degree and 1st house ruling plays a huge role on it.

╰┈➤If you have venus in the first house ruling you are most likely to change your eyes or appearance (esp, whether it is makeup involved) Plus, as you grow older until you achieve your 'fully growth' or 'fully glow-up' in your Saturn Return or in the age of 18, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and so fourth. Since 1st house is all about physical ability and self image. Venus in the first house describes as timeless beauty.

Her DSC is Gemini in the 7th house ruling; carrying the Jupiter starting from the 6th house, but it said that it was retrograde. so, instead of making her body structure bigger, which unfortunately doesn't because of it...

Jupiter ruler of expansion, fortune and growth.

Note: Gemini represents lungs, hands, and arms.

Thus, it explained why her fans perceived she got her slim in that part so small and thin. Even tho, it actually just looked like "long".

In astrology, when the planet is retrograde, it reflects karma energy, which is associated with experiencing the qualities that a specific person may not wish for.

❝𝘽𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧❞

all of us have retrograde planets. BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY HUMANS.

Manipulators by the birth chart. What to look at?

Please note that the interpretations below mostly refer to the “low level” manifestation of a zodiac sign. If you don’t understand what “low level” for a zodiac sign means, please read some of my other articles. Especially this and this.

Also, the “levels” of manifestation of our planets placements can shift during our lifetime from on to another. Mostly not considerably, but sometimes - very much.

I also don't include the Lilith placements in this text, because it is manipulative by itself, but too weak to influence the chart without other planetary placements.

What makes a person a manipulator?

1. Significant Scorpio placements. Not necessarily Sun, mostly angle houses. Especially ASC. A Stellium in Scorpio. Pluto in Scorpio in the angle house. Especially the 4th/ IC (hidden manipulation) and the 10th /MC (open manipulation) are a gigantic sign! Often, these placements would indicate energetic vampirism. Here, manipulation is very much about the energy.

2. ASC or DSC in Aquarius, Aquarius Stellium. This is a mental manipulation, mostly. Playing with words and meanings more than with actions or energy. Lying without even blushing and looking very smart at the same time.

3. ASC, Mercury, or a Stellium in Pieces. Manipulation by creating confusion and then finding weak spots to turn the whole thing into a “right angle” for oneself. In the synastry chart, this is more than often expressed by lots of Neptune aspects.

4. Virgo Mercury, Venus, ASC, Stellium. Manipulation around details, and tiny details especially. Virgo Venus can also manipulate around “goodness”, “purity” and “spending not enough money” in the relationships of any kind.

5. Gemini Stellium, angle houses and Mercury in Gemini. Creating dubious situations, questioning everything, playing with words and meanings, being intentionally “super light” to emphasise something important. 

6. Leo ASC / DSC, Moon, Mercury (especially all of them at once!). Leo, in general, is NOT about manipulation, since they are “far above it”. But this is exactly the type of manipulation they tend to exercise. The “I am above it” attitude. “Pride above of all” situations that are aimed at making others feel guilty. Silent treatment or ignoring you as if you are a dust in the wind is very much the type of Leo manipulation. This is only true about the “low level” expression of the Leo sign, of course. 

7. Cancer stellium, Moon, ASC / DSC. The drama type manipulation. Playing with your emotions, but not intelligently. Can be rude and too expressive emotionally, but very needy underneath of it. 

8. Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Taurus, Libra in general are NOT about the manipulation. Aries is too straightforward and raw, Sagittarius is too broad-minded, Capricorn is too serious and stiff, Taurus is too down to Earth, Libra is  about the balance more than anything else. But with some significant other placements in their charts - they can be great manipulators as well.  

All the placements above should be taken as a part of the entire picture, but with due attention to them.

Drop me a line if you want a personal look at your chart.

Yours,

AlSheren
