Style, that enigmatic ingredient of good taste, has woven an elusive thread through the volatile history of Hong Kong. More than any other, this city has stood at the crossroads of East and West, its identity evolving amid often conflicting currents. Since emerging from colonial rule, Hong Kong has increasingly embraced its Chinese origins, drawing on old and tenacious roots. This copiously illustrated volume delves into the diverse and intangible influences behind Hong Kong's faade, exploring the varied elements that contribute to its particular lan. Hong Kong Style is concerned not with the private domain of exclusive domiciles, but with the wholly accessible style reflecting the personality of Hong Kong as it has evolved over the last 160 years.

Hi again! Can you tell me what does Jupiter in 9th house mean besides being drawn to religion and philosophy? Already thank you for the answer!

Hello love. Sure, I can tell you about this placement.

Jupiter in the 9th house

This astrological position shows a native with a fascinating mind, not only because of the high intelligence they have, but also because of the inquisitive attitude that the wearer has. They tend to be curious people, quick to learn and with immense enthusiasm for new and complex ideas. They are attracted by the strange, the new, what is not as simple as it seems. They are fascinated with intellectual challenges, with what keeps their mind in constant learning. They feel driven by that desire for personal growth, to know themselves and create a path in which to become the person they aspire to be. They question everything around them from a very young age. Many of them, although they appreciate points of view different from their own, will always seek to find what resonates most with them, they seek to define the truth on their own. It is worth mentioning that these natives, from a very early age, have that sense of justice deeply embedded in them, not hesitating to speak their minds when something is not correct under their moral compass. Likewise, they will never try to control other people, allowing them to express themselves and be authentic.

They tend to be people with a lot of knowledge in different areas and can stand out a lot for their intelligence and skills in a specific area. It predicts great success for them in their college student years, whether due to the experiences they will live, socially or academically. Academically they may not have significant problems, and, if Jupiter is well aspected, they may be easily liked and appreciated by teachers. These natives will be good at research, teaching, psychology or in general any activity that puts their mind into action. Many of these natives have a passion and talent for writing, and may be presented with the possibility of publishing or presenting their work to others. It is very likely that these natives have the ability to learn languages, as well as a taste for cultures other than their own. There are great possibilities of traveling abroad, attracting friends, mentors or influential people in your lives who come from other countries. They will not like simplistic or very mundane concepts, as they will prefer to choose to delve into the depths of something, and this not only applies to their interests, but also to themselves and other people. Something that is said a lot about this placement is that long trips are not only exclusive to the physical, but also to the spiritual and personal.

With Jupiter in this house it is common for people to choose to study things related to the humanities, social sciences, law or topics related to the law. Many of them have the philosophy of either doing things well or not doing them at all, and that is something they apply in different areas of their life. Despite how open-minded they can be, they are very blunt and clear people when it comes to their beliefs. They have very well defined what they want and do not want in their lives and what they are not willing to experience again. They may have a strong inclination towards spirituality and the search for universal truth. People can explore different religions, spiritual practices or even philosophical currents. Being in one of its domicile houses, Jupiter can shine easily, bringing luck, opportunities and a lot of wisdom to the life of the native. Ideas are very likely to come spontaneously to your minds, especially when you least look for them. They can easily be inspired by things that others don't see appeal or greatness in. They know how to appreciate the little things in life.

Let's not forget Harry is domiciled in USA. He won't move back to the UK. Even if he is granted full police protection akin to a working royal, the Met can't dedicate a dozen or so officers to shuttle to the USA to protect his arse.

They can't carry weapons in the USA, logistics will be a nightmare and cost will be astronomical. Not to mention a conflict of interest when agents operate in the USA on intelligence USA is not privy to.

It means there would have to be a deal struck with the USA for his security.

This is what he ultimately wants. The UK government to negotiate a deal and pay for it in the USA so he continues free of charge on full police protection.

That's his aim appears to be.

Agreed. His own camp even admitted as such in the People Magazine exclusive. I am paraphrasing here but basically saying that once the UK gives him what he wants, other countries will be forced to follow suit and give him the same treatment.

Steve woke up for the fourth time during the night, there was something strange, something that disturbed him, it was not the first time it happened, during the whole week the same thing had been happening to him, but this time, he saw a shadow moving quickly in the darkness.

Immediately he got up, this time he was not going to let it escape, maybe it was an enemy trying to infiltrate the house.

You screamed when you felt someone grab you by the arms, at the same time Steve let go of you when he heard your scream.

“I'm sorry, I thought it was someone else," Steve apologized.

“Someone else? “You asked in confusion.

“An intruder. "

“Ah... I think what you saw was me going through with the laundry," you replied, handing him the laundry basket, his "punishment" would be to wash it.

Steve didn't debate, maybe it was the fair price for scaring you.

A few more days passed, and Steve still had that strange feeling. In fact, you were starting to have it too, you suddenly felt watched, but when you looked everywhere in the domicile, you never found anything.

Maybe it was some kind of collective hallucination.

Another night, Steve woke up and immediately grabbed his shield when he noticed some eyes in the room, which seemed to be floating because he didn't seem to see anybody, you were asleep, however, when he turned to take them, you disappeared.

Steve shook his head, it had probably been too vivid a dream and he had woken up completely confused.

You were arranging the groceries in the cupboard when out of the corner of your eye you thought you saw a mask floating a couple of meters away from you, but when you turned to see completely, there was nothing in the place, you were completely alone.

You told Steve what had happened, and he also told you everything that had happened to him. After that, you started to search the whole house, but you found nothing.

There was nothing that made them suspicious, no cameras either, so you concluded that you should take a vacation, most likely you were stressed by so many missions and work in S.H.I.E.L.D.

After talking with Fury, you had agreed that at the end of the next mission, Steve and you would take a couple of weeks off.

The eyes reappeared in the room, after verifying that there was no one in the room, the being let the rest of its body be visible and took off its mask, the being smiled with satisfaction when he noticed that no one had discovered its presence.

“It's time for the next phase," the being muttered.

💚 The Astrology of Bell Hooks 💚

“Contemplating death has always been a subject that leads me back to love.”

- Bell Hooks, 7H Sidereal Scorpio Mars, opposite her Taurus ASC

Bell Hooks is a Sidereal Taurus ASC. Her chart ruler is a Libra Venus. Venus doesn’t operate well in the 6H because it’s the Maraṇa-Kāraka-Sthāna. It suffers there. The 6H loves to compete, work, and abstain. Venus loves to love and enjoy.

It’s cool to see the dynamic coming from someone who has a domicile Venus placed in an uncomfortable house. Libra tends to want to solve for what’s lacking. Libra will tell you “this isn’t enough!” And we mean that. Knowing there’s more and better forms of love created this book. Venus always wants better.

Her Mars is also domicile, but Maraṇa-Kāraka-Sthāna because Mars doesn’t operate well in the place of partnership when it wants to fight.

I think these dynamics served her well in creating a book that highlights when something isn’t right from the lens of being hurt. When the planets “aren’t in the right places.” It highlights where people don’t look at when a planet is in good condition, but is in a house that doesn’t support the planets potential. There is a want for change. Seeing how grimy things can get.

Chapter 1 of Feline Familiars, my book in progress

This chapter lays down the basics of spirit familiars, spirit work and communication. The rest of the chapters in the book will focus on familiars that are living animals, and will build on the concepts in this chapter.

I'll revisit this chapter and fill in some details when I unpack my full library. I've noted several places where I will expand the contents.

I'm opening this one up to all patrons. Future chapters may go in the higher tiers, we'll see what I'm working on as time goes on.

Sample section on spirit vessels below the cut!

Housing a spirit familiar

Spirit familiars often are given a "housing" by the magician, a sort of replacement physical body or domicile for the spirit to "reside" in. Spirit familiars do not have a body that the magician can access and therefore a proxy body can be very helpful for various purposes. It is important to remember that this "body" is a symbol for the convenience of magic more than it is a real body that the entity is actually attached to. Destroying the physical housing or vessel of a spirit does not destroy the spirit, it simply negates any boons that the physical body was conferring to either spirit or magician. A spirit can still manifest in your space and affect your reality even if it does not have a physical housing unless you've already taken precautions that prevent the spirit from doing so.

A housing can be a literal house that the spirit resides in or can call its home. You can think of a spirit house as a shrine to that spirit. The spirit can be expected to be found at their housing regularly and the housing is a good place to meet with the spirit. The spirit house is also a good place to leave offerings for the spirit or to place any objects that are associated with the spirit. At a shrine or long-term altar for a specific purpose is a good place to station a spirit house.

Consecrating objects to a spirit and placing those objects at or near its spirit house can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the spirit housing and strengthen the spirit's attachment to it. Consecration is a sacred symbolic act that dedicates an object to a specific purpose. After consecration, it's assumed that the object will only be used for what it is consecrated to do. Consecration is simply the act of setting aside something so that it is dedicated exclusively to an entity or purpose, so using the object for purposes outside of what it was consecrated for is counterproductive.

A spirit can also have a vessel consecrated to it that serves as a body or as a portal to the spirit. This can be anything from a statue of the familiar to a piece of jewelry the practitioner wears to keep a close connection with the familiar. A spirit can have multiple vessels if one wishes, for instance a vessel on an altar that functions as a permanent house, a pendant that the magician can wear publicly that allows the magician and the spirit to keep contact wherever the magician goes in the world, a ring that the magician only wears during special spiritual ceremonies, or something completely different.

Spirit familiars do not require a housing to be worked with or to survive. Some may prefer to do without a housing or vessel entirely, finding them restrictive or unnecessary. The housing or vessel you provide a spirit familiar with should match with the spirit's desires and needs, else you will not get much use out of the housing you spent time and/or money on.

Buzzfeed Worthy: Discover the Best Franklin Furnace Repair Service for Your Needs

7 Common Errors in the Quest for Furnace Repair Experts:

Mistake #1: Hasty Decision-Making.

Emily Caligari is firmly anti exclusion day (the 2014 exclusion day carol is my favorite thing ever)

Imagine with me, a West domicile Christmas,, imagine with me further, a Christmas decorated meat wall, ornamented brain tank, science themed Christmas sweaters, an upset Caligari and West convincing her to enjoy herself through convincing that it's not exclusion day celebrations, it Christmas!

it seems to basically be concerned with the US Federal Arbitration Act, an act specifically made for US companies & citizens to follow (thus why its US only, this doesnt apply to anybody outside the US)

they have written down terms & conditions for EU users specifically, as copy+pasted from the link above:

(from "Governing law and jurisdiction")

"If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, this clause and these terms in general do not affect any mandatory consumer rights you may have under your local law, and all disputes arising in connection with the services and/or these terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the court of Amsterdam, the Netherlands or, if you are a consumer, to a court closer to your domicile if in an EU Member State."

afaik they didnt elaborate on any other countries/territories besides the US & EU, but if anybody would like to add anything else, be my guest

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

QUATRIEME DIMANCHE DE L'AVENT

Nous continuons à préparer la venue de notre Seigneur Jésus. La première lecture nous invite à l’humilité, une humilité qui élève. «Ainsi parle le Seigneur: Toi, Bethleem Ephrata le plus petit des clans de Juda, c’est de toi que sortira pour moi celui qui doit gouverner Israël» (Mic 5,1). La lettre aux hébreux, dans la deuxième lecture, nous invite à cette même humilité en contemplant l’incarnation de Jésus, lui qui, «ayant la condition de Dieu, ne retint pas jalousement le rang qui l’égalait à Dieu. Mais il s’est anéanti, prenant la condition de serviteur, devenant semblable aux hommes» (Phil 2, 5-7).

L’Evangile de la visitation selon saint Luc nous invite à recevoir, dans l’humilité, le don de Dieu: Jésus-Christ, son fils, mais aussi de le donner aux autres. Marie accueille le don de Dieu et se met en route avec empressement pour le partager avec Elisabeth. Il s’agit de partager, de donner aux autres Jésus.

Tout le sens de Noël est déjà contenu dans les trois lectures de ce 4e dimanche de l’Avent: Dieu passe par les humbles, les simples et les pauvres pour sauver l’humanité. Dans un monde déchiré par des conflits, les exclusions et marginalisations sociales, se préparer à célébrer Noël, c’est visiter nos sœurs et frères qui souffrent des affres des guerres et de tous les autres malheurs qui s’abattent actuellement sur le monde. Célébrer le dimanche de la visitation c’est être porteur d’un message d’amour et de paix les uns pour les autres; c’est tourner notre méditation de l’Evangile en action charitable: visiter les personnes âgées, les malades, les prisonniers, les sans domiciles fixes, les marginalisés de notre société, etc.

Que la Vierge Marie qui continue à porter en elle l’enfant Jésus nous accompagne dans nos visites.

Amen.

"Quand la Famille Devient un Poids : Mon Histoire d’Injustice et de Résilience"

Une main tendue, une injustice subie 🌦️

Ce matin encore, j’ai été confronté à une injustice venant de mes proches. J’avais accueilli chez moi la mère de mon fils, Rava, qui s’était retrouvée sans domicile. Ce geste, je l’ai fait avec l’approbation de ma compagne, Kahili. Pour respecter leur espace, je dormais dehors, les laissant partager la chambre avec notre fils. 🌙

Une matinée pleine de désillusions 🍽️

Au réveil, j’ai proposé à Rava de prendre le petit-déjeuner ensemble, un moment que j’espérais paisible. Une fois terminé, je me suis attelé à mes travaux habituels, notamment la création de contenu pour préparer la nouvelle année. J’ai demandé à Rava de surveiller Orama, notre fils, le temps que je travaille en ligne. 💻

Hélas, un instant d’inattention a suffi : j’ai surpris ma nièce dans la cuisine, dans une posture inappropriée devant mon fils de 3 ans. Choqué et en colère, j’ai pris mon fils à part et expliqué à ma nièce, ainsi qu’à son copain, que ce genre de comportement était inacceptable, surtout dans un lieu comme la cuisine. 🍴

L’explosion familiale et ses conséquences 💥

Ce simple incident a déclenché une véritable tempête. La mère de ma nièce, ma cousine, a déformé les faits, m’accusant injustement de comportements déplacés et d’incompétence. Sans raison valable, elle a détruit mes affaires, les jetant hors de la maison, et nous a ordonné de partir.

Elle m’a reproché des choses absurdes : selon elle, mon fils aurait frappé sa fille, je ne faisais rien de mes journées, et je "profitais" de leur argent – tout cela étant faux. En réalité, je vivais dans des conditions précaires, sans jamais me plaindre malgré leurs intrusions constantes. 🏚️

Un passé marqué par le sacrifice et le rejet 💔

Cette situation n’est que la continuité d’une longue série de malheurs. J’ai dû quitter le Centre des Métiers et des Arts pour m’occuper de ma mère gravement malade. J’ai géré seule ses démarches administratives lorsqu’elle a été placée en foyer, tout en subissant du harcèlement dans mon ancienne école.

Malgré tout cela, ma grand-mère a répandu des rumeurs à mon sujet, m’accusant d’être un menteur et un ingrat. Mes parents m’ont rejeté lorsque j’ai voulu reconstruire ma vie avec une femme que j’aime. 🕊️

Une quête de résilience malgré tout 🌟

Aujourd’hui, je suis contraint de quitter la maison, de remettre de l’ordre dans ma chambre saccagée et de trouver un logement pour moi et mon fils. Bien qu’il soit désormais en sécurité avec sa mère, je ne peux m’empêcher de ressentir une immense tristesse face à cette exclusion injustifiée.

J’ai contacté la police et les services sociaux, mais leur aide reste limitée. Même ma travailleuse sociale refuse d’intervenir, fatiguée des conflits familiaux qui semblent sans fin. 🚔

Une réflexion sur la solitude et la reconstruction 🌱

Tout cela m’a appris une leçon importante : on ne peut pas toujours compter sur les autres pour nous soutenir. Mes amis, ma famille et même la société m’ont tourné le dos, mais je ne compte plus attendre d’aide extérieure.

Il ne me reste que ma compagne, Kahili, qui est mon pilier dans cette tempête. Grâce à elle, je garde espoir et je suis déterminé à reconstruire ma vie, loin des conflits et des rumeurs. 💪

Conclusion : un chemin vers un avenir meilleur 🌈

Cette épreuve est douloureuse, mais elle me pousse à me relever et à devenir plus fort. Je vais continuer à avancer, pour moi et pour mon fils, en gardant en tête que le bonheur ne dépend pas des autres, mais de ma propre volonté à surmonter les obstacles.

Parfois, il faut tout perdre pour se retrouver. 🌻
