ALL ABOUT LEO ASCENDANT

Back again folks, this time to discuss the Leo Ascendant!

As always, what is the ascendant? it is our mask. The world sees us as our ascendant while it manifests personally as our overall outlook on life. In addition, it represents our soul's journey/purpose, how we approach new situations, determines our house rulers, and manifests the purest expression of our energy.

Let's start off with our Leo Ascendant chart ruler, the Sun. Like the Cancer, Leo is also ruled by a luminary. Having the Sun as the chart ruler makes these folks very solar in nature. Think about the Sun in our own solar system...it sits in its own radiance, generating heat and light for Earth without having to do much more than rotate. Leo Ascendant's can be like this themselves. They radiate who they are unapologetically, approaching situations with an authenticity and a bravery not many can replicate.

And so these Ascendants are usually easy to spot. They are bubbly, spontaneous, fun, loud, gregarious. They usually have a distinct sense of style, something that can act as a trademark or an identifier. Leos love to be themselves and the ascendants manifest this easily. Perhaps you, Leo Ascendant, possess a glorious mane or bright sparkly eyes. These natives are expressive and jolly, radiating the light of their inner child through their presentation.

Stubbornness is a quality of the Leo Ascendant as well, for this is a fixed sign in fire. Leo Ascendants take the stage and they do so with ease, allowing everyone else to bask in their radiance as they embody who they feel themselves to be. Now not every Leo Ascendant will be outgoing and upbeat, this is ultimately dependent on other aspects in the chart. What you can always guarantee is that they'll stick out from the crowd, someway, somehow (much like their Aquarius opposition!).

The whole stage metaphor is a good way to describe how Leo Ascendants see the world. Where can they express themselves best? With whom? How do they manifest their creative expression? Where do they want to be the authority? Leo certainly doesn't mind being the center of attention, so they'll gravitate towards situations and places that allow them to be.

With a 10th ruled by Taurus, Leo Risings are here to create a long-lasting image, sustained through consistent attention and dedication. Your higher purpose lies in building something beautiful, nourishing, and long-lasting for you and for others. It is you, Leo who becomes gifted at organizing your own power--at managing your own light and presenting yourself in a powerful way. Perhaps you teach others to build a strong foundation for themselves, in affairs of money and land. Perhaps you are known for your more Venusian talents; art, expression, relationships. Whatever it is you do, you will be a professional "Taurus". Pleasure is your principle, Leo! You must define this for yourself without being consumed by it. You tailor your work environment to you, creating the best circumstances for you to shine and create and radiate.

A 7H Aquarius creates a need for partners and relationships that teach Leo how to belong. Often the Leo Rising individuates themselves and doesn't know how to follow the crowd. It's good to be you, but Aquarius has the natural ability to be different and belong at the same time. They are conscious of their influence within the group and use it for higher purposes. Leo can learn the ways in which they are the same as others in relationships and in turn, put their ego aside. Through your relationships you learn humility, sacrifice, service, and detachment.

In addition, a 7H Aquarius can also indicate attracting friends and partners who are different and unique in some way. Leo is looking for someone not to outshine them, but for someone who they can shine with. Leo will likely admire those individuals who refuse to conform and embody their individuality in new and exciting ways. They may be picky about the people they choose to surround themselves with.

And the 4H in Scorpio? Leo Risings often keep a part of themselves private. The world is their stage, yes, but do we see you when the sun sets Leo? Do we get a peek into your private, innermost world? Leo may need their homes to be a place where they recharge and introspect. Where they get to process their experiences and shed skin that does not serve them.

Their homes may also be places where they turn into control freaks! Scorpio is an obsessive energy and these natives can be meticulous both in the world and in the home as well. Things must be done a certain way...or else. Your family may be some of the most loyal people you know, and you like to return that same sense of devotion.

It also may be that your family was manipulative, toxic, and controlling. This fosters in the Leo Rising a deep need to liberate themselves and find a sense of freedom and levity in life. The home environment might have suppressed aspects of the Leo that shone too brightly.

Leo, truly you want to invest deeply into others and give yourself emotionally to the people you love. You shine in the hopes of helping others grow and you give to stoke the flames of others. You are a benefactor and a leader. The one to take the throne and express both ego and soul. Own yourself, Leo and let yourself shine!

Astro Observations II

💙 Scandals are always surrounding air placements for some reason.

💜 Moon making aspect to Venus can prefer to be around women. However if it’s harsh, prominent women in their life made have made them feel like they’re not pretty enough.

💙 Capricorn placements/dominant 🤝 prominent bone structure

💜 Sagittarius individuals, especially sun, love their freedom, it’s true. They cannot be tied down.

💙 Neptune in any house can blur boundaries and cause people to feel misunderstood around the elements of that house.

💜 Neptune rules projections too so depending on the aspect and sign people can often project onto these natives.

💙 Air dominance in one’s chart can really indicate someone who is a sapiosexual. This also includes air venus and air mars.

💜 Cardinal energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) is very forward moving, regardless of the sign. These people once set on something, will achieve it. Though they may have different methods of achieving their goals.

💙 Gemini and Pisces, especially Mercury. These people are chameleons. They can switch up and become the people they are communicating with.

💜 Saturn aspecting Mercury, in Gemini or in the 3rd house. Many times these people have been made to feel like their way of communicating or expressing themselves is invalid. However the older they get and the more Saturn matures, the easier it gets.

💙 Aries ascendents can have lighter hair than the rest of their family members.

💜 Aries ascendents also can appear to have full bodies even when they may not be athletic.

💙 Virgo sun individuals can really be perfectionists.

💜 Taurus moon people may have been told they have comfy shoulders or they give great hugs.

💙 Cancer women have this home wrecker title because it’s really easy for them to act like a damsel in distress. People will quickly take their side. Men will want to care for them and potentially give up their lifestyle.

The way Xie Lian knows a martial god when he sees one—he knew Mu Qing had special talent, knew Feng Xin had it, knew Hong’er had it, probably knew LQQ had it, and they all ascended.

Not sure what Hua Cheng ascended as actually but he still ascended nonetheless.

And he has three out of four of the ghost kings obsessed with him.

[lunarliyah]

Juno In Sagittarius people love to travel with their partner. Prefers someone that is out of state and sometimes even out the country. Their obsession with travel and exploring is also a huge part of their love language.

Moon/Mercury

+

Moon/Mars

Both experiencing major headaches. In fact, they get headaches easier than others. If they don’t eat enough or take long periods of time without eating can result in headaches. Being tired can cause headaches. Quicker than normal and typically more painful.

Aquarius placements can be some of the most delusional people. They can lack self awareness. They are be so opinionated on others and what they’re doing. They can try so hard to pick apart what others have going on. As soon as someone says “you” to them, defense mode.

Leo and Capricorns have very similar energy. Both can be very sure of themselves and what they want. Both are goal oriented. Having both Leo and Capricorn in a natal chart, specifically in the big three, makes someone very reliable and independent. (My favorite type of placements tbh lol) Both energy care about how they’re perceived, they don’t do anything without thought. Contrary to popular belief, Leo’s are very calculated people. All earth signs are calculated in different ways of course. Capricorns in particular have a way of playing chess and making sure that they do things that benefit them in the long run. As far as these energies being together in a relationship, perfect match. Leo being a fixed sign, this energy wants to make things work. They are not easy to give up on things and people. They make change happen if need be but only to keep the stability in their connection with others. At the end of the day you can summarize that as being loyal. Capricorns never leave people high and dry. They are straightforward with their ACTIONS. They are honest and if they care enough (lol) they’ll speak up. For the most part, they are showers. They show people how much they care. Which Leo’s loves. A doer, not someone who’s all talk. They’re the show off and the ones doing to talking! Not their partner. Capricorns are also very loyal as well. I personally love love love these two together. Power couple for real. Also makes the best of friends too!

Cardinal

These people are considered the scout. The leaders. What this means is when it comes to relationships, they are more upfront about what they want and what their needs are. They enjoy people to let them take the lead. They are not afraid of pursuing people they want in their life. Romantically or friendship wise. They’re more picky and they are definitely more independent. It doesn’t take them long to move on. (cancers.. yeah maybe a little different but once they’re gone, it no way possible for anyone to get the back) They shoot their shot directly and can even be flirty. They do not beat around the bush at all. They like to jump straight into things. Sometimes this does backfire. Moving too fast into things. Rushing even. Thinking too far ahead. Sometimes they can stress themselves out by thinking too much into the future or may even be seen as bossy. Or pushy even.

(Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, & Libra)

Mutable

These people are more inclined to fluctuate. They love having variety and options. They tend to not sit still, ever. Always on the go. Tend to go well with someone who helps balance them out. They are not the neatest people, yes even Virgos. These people are not that straightforward I’ve realized only when it comes to things they aren’t passionate about. In comparison for cardinal signs, it doesn’t take much for them to pursue anything. These people struggle with finishing project, ideas, etc. They can have an idea that they sit on for days (or forever). These people are very creative though. Don’t underestimate their creativity. They just need that push to execute and consistency.

(Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, & Sagittarius)

Fixed

These will be your most unconvincing, stubborn, my way or the highway type of people ever. They rarely change their minds. The way they’re used to something is how it will be for a long time. How they were raised shows up a lot in their adult life. These people enjoy routine. These people also love the thought of continuous things. These people don’t like forming deep relationships with new people. They will try to make things work. They will be very loyal people. Aquarius is known to be flaky. But they’ll be there for those who give them space and don’t conflict with their decisions and beliefs.

(Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, & Scorpio)

Thank you all for reading. I’m open for doing synastry readings and natal chart readings all week. Make sure to book your reading in my bio. Again, thank you all for reading have a nice day!

Greencels: “The only reason Aegon the Younger became king is because he was his uncle’s heir.”

Meanwhile, Aegon the Usurper pointing out how Rhaenyra’s son is not his heir:

Aegon II had other ideas. He wished to marry Cassandra Baratheon at once, for “she will give me strong sons, worthy of the Iron Throne.” Nor would he allow Prince Aegon to wed his daughter, and perhaps sire sons who might muddy the succession. “He can take the black and spend his days at the Wall,” His Grace decreed, “or else give up his manhood and serve me as a eunuch. The choice is his, but he shall have no children. My sister’s line must end. (Fire & Blood, page 605)

Event tickets in sky were never going to work anyway.

It's way too good to be true; a currency that cannot be transferred across events or into candles/hearts for the sole purpose of making event cosmetics easier to obtain, that is collected by participating in the event itself? Thats already fishy enough by tgc's standards.

Thatgamecompany has a habit of making short term solutions for long term problems because of the sheer amount of content they make yearly, leaving less room to optimize regular gameplay. ET has probably been the most apparent example of this. (MAAAAJOR YAP SESSION AHEAD!)

When event tickets were first released, I was ecstatic. I was already struggling to keep up with Days of Bloom and Mischief since I have taken many breaks from sky, but I couldn't begin to fathom how the prices may feel to a new player. I also hated picking and choosing between what items to buy simply because i didn't dedicate the past two weeks so candlerunning alone. Hopefully this new addition of ET would take off that load and i can enjoy the following events to it's fullest, and well, I did.

For the first year that is. These cosmetics that costed ET were damn near free for me. Yet, in the back of my head i always wondered what would happen the following year once these ET cosmetics came back, alongside the new ones that were to be released. Would they cost just as much ET as last year's items? Then collecting ET would only get more stressful and inflate its value. Would the past items go away? That is unfair to new players and pushes FOMO to get everything every year.

Maybe the total price could stay the same but older items depreciate each year as newer ones release, making the oldest ones the cheapest.

And to my great surprise as i look at beta logs for this year's days of summer, not a single item from the year before is under 90 candles! How could this possibly be fair to new players who are trying to enjoy sky for what it is and get items? I've seen some people argue that the player has the choice to not get all cosmetics, which is true, but I'd like to show you what thought process is implied with this system. Think:

"We know you don't fully know your way around sky's economy, or don't have the time to grind everyday, but for this year only these new items are free just by participating in the event! And if you don't, for any reason, the price of the items will be worth 3-6 hours of candlerunning on top of MORE cosmetics! But it's all up to you!"

This isn't to say us as a playerbase have zero autonomy, but i hope you can see how FOMO is enforced when you add a currency with zero value outside of an annual 2 week event that gives players a "now or never" mindset. This is great in the moment, it pushes people to participate! Yet, this ruthlessly punishes players who aren't available for any reason, even those who weren't aware of sky before joining.

Sky is still a new game. Event tickets were only introduced a year ago, but if tgc keeps going down this economic pattern then imagine the amount of cosmetics locked away from new players, or players who took breaks, because of this exponential increase in pricing!

This is a more subjective opinion- but let me be honest; these cosmetics are not worth their candle/heart prices.

I was lucky enough to get all the days of style and days of summer items from last year for ET and i barely wore them, i can only imagine ONE item from each event being rewearable. I didn't mind though because i knew the towel capes and silly glasses were nice starter items for moths, but it's not even moth friendly anymore?! In the past only items that were in high demand were priced outrageously like rhythm and lightseeker TS, and now I'm spending extra for a purple top hat that doesn't even match any of the other purples in this game☠️☠️ you're getting less bang for your buck with a 110 candle towel cape bro

And lastly, there are other issues I've seen in sky that i would say are parallel to this whole event ticket situation. The time gaps between seasons have grown significantly smaller, and each seasonal update has been saturated with glitches and disappointment. Season of the Nine-Colored Deer is another very apparent example of this for me. The castle and crescent lake is done beautifully and the quests are decent, but no one is returning to the area. The rest of the town is empty and awkward, and half the map is in a canyon where you spawn so it's already a good 2-3 minutes getting out of that area alone. The place is just rushed. Its inconvenient.

Ill be posting a poll right after this post, but me personally i would not mind having 3 seasons a year if it meant higher quality content and more breaks from events. More spirits that are well thought out, detailed seasonal quests that arent cleanups or scavenger hunts, less quantity but higher quality cosmetics and emotes, and elder appearances! It's clear that tgc has a more complex world design outside of Sky: cotl when we look at The Two Embers, but that the energy it takes to make it in game is placed elsewhere.

Thatgamecompany is pushing out more content than they ever have before and I think their work is starting to crumble under the weight.

If you made it here THANK YOU!!! you're a lifesaver, theres so much that i want to say and i really hope a lot of skids see this post so that we can get a cohesive discussion going❤️

The 8th house sign is not talked enough in astrology, the 8th house beside other things represents your intimacy, the 8th house is a powerful house, is a very sensible point in your chart.

Earth and Water Signs in the 8H can take this "intimacy" to another level since they can deeply connect with themselves

While Fire and Air signs in the 8H show much more excitement to discover their intimacy and their desires

Hadestown poster concept!!

I comPLETELY forgot about this, I think I made it for fun maybe right around graduating college, or sometime teetering on my college/PMDD/endo/newfound chronic pain burnout. (I think I discovered hadestown sometime in my second or third year and I’ve adored it since, might be my top musical. Definitely top 5)

It’s kind of oldish now but I think it’s still pretty good! I’ve gotta do more stuff like this!
