💖 SCORPIO: You Being Your Authentic Self Is Inspiring Them To Heal & Work On Themselves! 💖

[b1acksh33p999]

July horoscopes:

Aries: This month is finally going to give you the perfect opportunity to grow past your insecurities! With NN taking a dip back into Aries, while in conjunction with Chiron, this will push most Aries energy to fight back at their own insecurities! This energy will help inspire you to pave a new path that leads you to the place you see yourself in the future, so be sure of what you’re manifesting. My advice to you this month is to do your best to bring forth a positive mindset towards change. You are who you believe you are, Aries!

Taurus: Taurus, this month will continue to bless you with the karma you’ve been destined to receive! With Jupiter maintaining its conjunction with your sun sign, you will continue to receive opportunities meant to help you secure the future you desire. My advice to you this month is to use this amazing window of luck to help design the life you truly want for yourself! Don’t let pessimism or doubt sabotage your future success! Mind over matter, Taurus!

Gemini: This month will start off with the moon in an opposition to your sun sign, which will have emotions feeling even more difficult then usual. Some Geminis may find themselves emotionally disconnected, or emotionally overwhelmed. Do not fear! This heavy emotional transit will be over by the time we hit the Full Moon in Capricorn on July 3rd. My advice to you this month is to be honest with yourself when it comes to love matters, for some Geminis there may be a surprise lurking around the corner that will come to light around the start of Venus Retrograde in Leo, on July 23rd.

Cancer: Cancer, this month will be a time of reflection and repayment. With this month starting out with Sun and Juno in conjunction with your natal Sun sign, there will be many karmic encounters for cancers this month. My advice to you this month is to stay true to your authentic self with each encounter. The universe will be sending you both opportunities and tests in the form of human connection this month. Pay attention to the intentions of these individuals in order to figure out if these connections are trustworthy or not. Make sure you stay true to yourself, and keep on your path of enlightenment!

Leo: Leo, this month is going to help boost your confidence through the roof! With Venus retrograde starting on the 23rd of the month- all Leo’s will find themselves feeling very proud of how far they’ve come, as well as the possibility of travel and new experiences! My advice this month is to enjoy the moment, and take lots of pictures so you will always have the memories of this pivotal time! The best is yet to come!

Virgo: At the beginning of this month, you may find yourself prioritizing spending time with those people who boost your confidence. This is a blessing in disguise! By the 31st, Mars would have moved into a conjunction with your natal sun. This is foreshadowing a time of extreme productivity, and self accountability. Work will be busy, and finances will improve. My advice this month is to make sure that you plan ahead, and use the boost in energy to your advantage. This is an amazing opportunity to set up a solid foundation for your future finances, and routine!

Libra: Libra, this month will enhance your natural ability to romanticize your day to day routine, and current life circumstances. With Ceres in conjunction with your Sun sign, this will ensure that all growth and experience will be something necessary for soul development. However, with Saturn in Pisces starting the month in a Venus ruled degree, this will enhance the natural ability to daydream about the details of your day to day life instead of seeing the facts clearly. This may present in different forms such as finances, career, family life, love life, and self worth. One of these areas will be in for a surprise this month! My advice to you is to keep both eyes open to the reality of your day to day life. It’s great to be positive, but it’s vital to stay grounded when formulating an accurate and successful long term plan!

Scorpio: This month's themes will bust open and force you to recognize exactly how you’ve been wasting your energy. Many Scorpios are still heavily connected to people or things that no longer serve them. With Jupiter and NN in an opposition to your natal Sun, many experiences and circumstances will seem to be repetitive. If you notice trends like this coming into fruition it’s your opportunity to make the changes necessary to improve your energy, and vision. My advice this month is to ensure you only make time for those people, things, and habits that improve your current wellbeing. Anyone who’s attempting to start conflict, or drama has overstated their welcome in your life. Get rid of them, and receive the blessings!

Sagittarius: This month is huge for Sagittarius! With the Sun and Mercury starting the month in a Sagittarius ruled degree, and transit moon falling in Sagittarius the energy is challenging Sagittarius’s to make changes. Whether it be a situation with family, friends, romantic partner, or the self; something needs to be altered for long term success. Deciding to remain the same person you’ve always been will not work this month. It’s time to make big changes! My advice to you is to allow yourself to break free from the old version of yourself, and hold yourself accountable to personal growth. If you believe you’re perfect, and don’t need to grow; it’s time to look deeper!

Capricorn: This month’s energy will start challenging Capricorns to practice what they preach! With the full moon on the 3rd, falling in Capricorn this will be a monumental moment within the month! Any thoughts, feelings, experiences that you have on the 3rd will foreshadow the house themes being affected on a personal level. Most Capricorns will be reevaluating their current career, and long term goals; which should be deemed positive. My advice to you this month is to do exactly what you say you will, and allow the knowledge of the universe to flow into you. This internal transformation has only just begun!

Aquarius: Aquarius, this month is going to force you out of your comfort zone! With the heavy Leo transiting this month in opposition to your sun sign, this is foreshadowing the inability to remain uninvolved in the changes happening around you. Many Aquarius’s have experienced huge shifts, or changes in the past year; this month will intensify the pressure due to these changes. My advice to you is to say what you mean, and mean what you say. Those people around you want to understand what you’re going through, but if you don’t speak up when you need help; you may find yourself fighting this battle alone. It’s unnecessary to experience these changes alone, speak up!

Pisces: Pisces, this month will continue gifting you with the Karma you’ve been waiting for. With Saturn in a conjunction with your Sun sign, this is a sure sign that the situations, people, obstacles, and gifts you’ve been receiving and experiencing will only improve your future security. My advice to you this month is to make sure you keep a handle on your pessimism in times of distress. As a fairly optimistic sign, you may only experience a loss of faith when things get rough. This is normal, yet unnecessary. The truth is your positivity and strong faith is one of your greatest strengths, and the key to inspiring those around you. Keep your head up, and your heart full!

𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀

This week we will see preview of the Cardinal Grand Cross which would be formed fully next week once North Node moves into Aries after 17 July. The Grand cross is different parts of our life or psyche at conflict with each other pulling us in very different directions leaving us either in a state of indecision or procrastination but cardinal nature of this one would force us to choose & act. It comes with the annual power packed Sun Pluto opposition on 21 July which would be the last of the kind with Pluto in Capricorn during our life time. So whats this last frontier of conflict we are facing ?

Well we get a preview at start of this week itself with a possible verbal conflict or a shift in our inner or external dialogue which may be the missing piece.

Let’s dig in!

𝓓𝓮𝓽𝓪𝓲𝓵𝓼

Mercury and Pluto opposes each other at the last degree of Cancer and Capricorn at the start of this week on 10/11 Jul. Last degree of cardinal signs proactively drives us to put an end to things that are acting as seeming hindrance on our path forward and that realisation can come through a conflict of words & ego. Know thyself seems to be a key message of this transit. What helps you stand in your power and what makes you feel powerless ? What takes your strength away and what brings back strength physically and emotionally to you ? What thinking serves you what doesn’t ? Words have power - what words adjectives you attach to yourself and who you are and are they serving you ? Is the power in lowering yourself in a screaming match or standing in your strength of knowing yourself ? What are you made of ? Is it emotional strength or emotional mush ?

Mercury is at the degree of “The Intuitive weighing of alternatives” which can be a frustrating endeavor as we hesitate to make a choice. Seems though intellect is not running this train. Something a much deeper and knowing vs the conscious intellect might be at work and more we oppose its voice, the bigger conflict we seem to encounter. Sometimes whats lost in the process is the knowledge that choice is a luxury - its the “Greek muse weighing newborn twins in golden scales”. It’s a privileged position to even be able to have the choice and that shouldn’t go unappreciated in the pressure of this moment. Yet a choice has to be made & changing our inner dialogue and subsequently how we voice things externally seems like a key missing piece of equation that we might learn from this moment of conflict.

Pluto at the last degree of Capricorn is closing the knots that have been undone since the start of the transit in 2008 with the Great Financial crisis or another kind of transformation each one of us embarked upon especially in our career, personal formal titles (e.g. marriage) or leadership style / position with that transit beginning. At the degree of “A woman reading tea leaves” Pluto here provides us with uncanny insights if we can bear to take them on how we yield personal power in situations requiring us to lead vs follow. As it connects the intricacies of our unconscious mind with the conscious and concrete - see what you are driven to move towards, see how we might self sabotage our position of strength by giving into emotional weakness, see where we do not use our emotions as strength vs weakness, see where our inner dialogue kills our external tangible progress. Your natural choice may not be the popular one yet the resources we might find within ourselves in making a tough choice is the true gift of this transit. Hence the pressure and conflict of the current moment. This can manifest in form of a conflict of wills with another, power struggle especially with a female, our emotional struggle to stand in position of strength in a debilitating situation, our egoistic need to try to control what cannot be controlled. Can you find missing parts of yourself through this possibly verbal conflict ? Do we get more in touch with our unconscious mind when we are seemingly being “destroyed” by another. Do we become problem solvers vs sobbing mess of self sorry when challenged in ways we never thought we would be ? Does honesty come easy when hurt ? Can we find strength in letting go control ?

This moment of Pluto opposition offers honesty - truth about what our ego is resisting and not accepting. It’s tough to take that message cause Pluto makes it feel like life or death of our personal or professional life or our formal title or our life status or our pride in some ways. Yet the moment we let the need to control the moment go we regain strength. We gain clarity of choice which we would need to finalise as we approach the Cardinal Grand Cross of 21 July.

There are elements of support in this transit as Neptune supports Mercury and Mars supports North Node which means our thinking has element of faith in the future despite the current moment. We are able to envisage a potential dream even if it’s not the current moment - we are able to dream up a better future and more importantly with Mars the more we diligently act the nearer we get to it. Putting in the actual work vs thinking in the moment seems to help us get closer to making the right choice for us. Mars in Virgo says when in doubt work and see what work is most useful and tangible - take a step in earnest no matter how small. We will learn this more in North Node in Aries that making a choice is better than not making one. None of the choices will be perfect but making a choice is better than not making one.

love,

Charu

⚡️ GEMINI: OPENING YOUR HEART TO TRUE LOVE - 2024 YEAR IN REVIEW SUPER DETAILED READING⚡️

[elminx]

Energy Update: July 2024

July is a “6” Universal Month [7 (July) + 8 (2024) = 15 = 1 + 5 = 6] in an “8” Universal Year. Six months are connective and somewhat comforting; we tend to reconnect with our Others after the rough conflicts of the “5” month that came before. This is somewhat at odds with the month’s transits, which are pushing us forward and outward. We are in the liminal phase where something has ended, but the new beginning hasn’t happened yet; not really.

The Set Up

We begin the month with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer, Mars and Uranus in Taurus, Jupiter in Gemini, retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. When you include our North Node and Chiron sitting in Aries, we still have a long line of planetary activation stretching from the last signs of the horoscope (Aquarius and Pisces) through the first signs of the horoscope (Aries through Cancer). After this month, the cluster will break, but for now, we are still stuck in this in-between energy.

By the end of July, the Sun and Venus will have moved on into Leo, Mercury will have moved all the way through Leo and onto Virgo (starting the pre-shadow phase of its next retrograde cycle), and Mars will enter Gemini. Additionally, Neptune will retrograde at 29° Pisces.

The Nitty Gritty

There is a notable lack of major planetary aspecting during July because all of our personal planets are still so closely stacked together. Instead, we see repeat activation between these planets and the lunar nodes in Aries. Cancer is the midway point between our North Node in Aries and our South Node in Libra, and we are at a turning point late in this lunar cycle. We have one last set of eclipse to get through before our nodes switch to Pisces-Virgo with the new year, and it’s starting to show. This is crunch time – whatever has been coming up in our lives around the themes of independence (Aries) versus codependence (Libra) is coming to a head.

We are experiencing these nodal hits thrice over: the first time through a sextile while the planets are in Gemini, a second time in square while they are in Cancer, and a third time in trine while they transit Leo. Things will be easier and then more difficult and easier again. But easy, when it comes to the lunar nodes, is really just a matter of perspective. The lunar nodes can be read as a compass pointing in the sky, away from the South Node’s current position and towards the North Node’s current position. Where the North Node is needs work – it is where we are heading.

Whether that’s a good or bad thing is up for debate. The lunar nodes happen to us—they create the eclipse cycles that enact the greatest moments of change in our lives. Like the influence of the outer planets, eclipse cycles are beyond our comprehension; at best, we can control how we react to them.

In essence, the days of nodal activation throughout the month (of which there are many) are days to watch out for. Let’s take a neutral stance here—eclipses help when we need doors opened but can also slam doors shut that we shouldn’t walk through. If you are on top of things and paying attention, you can use days like this to determine where your life is headed. Eyes wide open is the name of the game all month long.

Lunar Nodal Activation Dates:

7/2 – Sun in Cancer square the lunar nodes, 7/9 – Mercury in Leo trine the North Node in Aries/sextile the South Node in Libra, 7/12 – Jupiter in Gemini sextile the North Node in Aries/trine the South Node in Libra, 7/19 – Venus in Leo trine the North Node in Aries/sextile the South Node in Libra

Each of these dates will be highly liminal (7/2, especially as it is also the date that Neptune stations retrograde) and can be used for divination, pathworking, dreaming, and other magics with which this type of energy is naturally augmented. Stare aware of what happens to you during this time and believe it. Sometimes, difficult truths are revealed through lunar node activation; looking them straight in the eye is better than burying your head in the sand.

Likewise, Chiron – our Wounded Healer – is also in Aries and will be our other major player of the month. To gain a better perspective, we should take a wider step away and discuss how these move around the horoscope wheel. Chiron, like our planetary bodies, moves forward through the horoscope wheel while our North Node, as a mathematical point in the sky, moves backward through the signs. These two have already met and passed each other – Chiron is nearing the end of the Aries, and The North Node is nearing the beginning. This has made Aries (and, by default, the other cardinal signs) the seat of change in the world right now. And since it’s Aries, it is quite the hot seat.

I’ve written a lot about how this whole era we’re in has a major theme of “change before you have to,” which is running afoul of our very human urge to do the exact opposite of our best interests.

There’s a line between standing up for ourselves, allowing each other to BE ourselves, and being a collective that sees each other and cares for the whole that we’re just not getting right. This long-term opposition between the North Node and Chiron in Aries and the South Node in Libra fully represents this in the skies. Whatever this story means to you – whether you’ve been seeing it in the news, experiencing it personally in your life, or ignoring it all together; this chapter of it is ending.

And it fucking hurts. Let’s take a minute to stop and acknowledge the very real pain that most of us (I suspect it’s all of us) are feeling. The aloneness of the quarantine – that was Chiron in Aries. The way that it’s been triggering you every time you realize that your parents don’t actually see you as a separate human being – that’s this whole opposition coming into play. Has your friend group completely fallen apart? South Node in Libra. Has your relationship? Same. We can infer that, in general, what the South Node removes is for the greater good, but with Chiron so involved, it does not feel this way.

If every fiber of your being hurts, you are right on time. And I’m sorry. As somebody who has Chiron on my Ascendant, I can attest to how much it sucks to have to feel all of the pain that Chiron brings to the party.

We’ve got about six more months of this intense Chiron action interconnected with the lunar nodes, and then the nodes will move on. Sure, we all need to sit with this Chiron in Aries energy for another couple of years, but it won’t be involved in our eclipse cycles any longer. That will be a huge relief.

I can also say that, like eclipse/Node energy, Chiron is best faced with your eyes wide open. Chiron is the cosmic reminder that shit is compost and all decaying matter feeds life once more. Fields need to lie fallow. Pain is a signal that can be followed to a source. Sometimes, it’s faulty wiring. Sometimes, you can even replace that wiring. This tends to take a lot of self-compassion, and there doesn’t seem to be much going around – do what you can. Treat yourself like your favorite pet or houseplant.

Chiron days to stay aware of:

7/6 – Venus in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, 7/15 – Sun in Cancer square Chiron in Aries, 7/18 Mercury in Leo trine Chiron, 7/30 – Venus in Leo trine Chiron

All of these dates could be used for healing magic of all kinds.

This month, our big day to look out for is 7/15, when Mars conjuncts Uranus at 26° Taurus. This is an accident waiting to happen, so don’t do anything stupid. Avoid unnecessary travel, don’t play with fireworks, etc. The Sun is square to Chiron all day, too, so it has the potential to really hurt. This isn’t a reason to panic – this is an astrological weather report; whereas some days you might need to bring an umbrella, this is the kind of day where you might want to stay inside. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Our day to look forward to for the month is our full moon on 7/21, which is a true astrological blue moon – meaning it’s the second moon in a row in the sign of Capricorn. This is highly auspicious and doubly so because we also have two new moons in Capricorn this year (one in January and another in December!). Sitting at 29° Capricorn, it will call in a lot of the energy of Pluto, who is sitting at 00° Aquarius, inching its way back toward Capricorn one last time.

Again, note the intense cardinal sign activation that is happening all month. This full moon will also tie in Chiron in Aries through a wider square. Heads up to anybody with their lights or personal planets in late Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn – now can be your time if you can get through the pain enough to see the change. Y’all are stubborn folks, so I have faith in your capabilities.

This moon, along with the full moon on 6/21 at 01° Capricorn, are great days to do any long-form intentional work towards money, finances, career, or any task that involves structure. Work with the moon’s cycles here: where do you want to be in six months when the moon is new in Capricorn once more? But stay aware that Saturn will crash your party whether you invite them or not, so you might as well extend an official invitation.

The numerology of this full moon is 5/2. [0 (Capricorn Moon) + 4 (Cancer Sun) = 14 = 1+4 = 5. 5 (Capricorn full moon) + 6 (July 2024) = 11 = 1+1 =2.] There’s a chance to break a cycle (5) that can become the start of something new (2).

Our new moon on 7/5 is at 14° Cancer and should be more low-key. The moon is in its home in the sign of the crab, making this day especially lunar and watery. If ever there was a day to wash wash wash it all away – either with a mop or the ocean waves, it is a Cancer Moon. The numerology of the day is 8/5 [4 (Cancer Moon) + 4 (Cancer Sun) = 8. 8 (Cancer New moon) + 6 (July 2024) = 14 = 1+4 = 5.] The innate 8 energy echoes that of the moving tides; it ebbs and flows. We see the echo of the 5 energy of change and movement throughout this month.

Otherwise, the seasons shift as we move deeper into summer energy all month. There’s an echo of egoic Leo energy in the air all month long as all three of our more moveable personal planets move through the sign of the lion. It’s summer when, most of all, we really start to feel ourselves. Remember, this isn’t a bad thing. Do a bit of magic to remind yourself how much of a badass you are. As a little treat.

Neptune will retrograde, but we won’t really notice as it’s so slow-moving anyway. We need to keep an eye on Mercury, though, as it is whipping through the summer signs before its mid-summer retrograde. The crossover from Fixed to Mutable signs is highlighted here as Mercury will retrograde from 04° Virgo to 21° Leo starting in early August. Be aware. I will be writing more about this soon.

Months that begin with the sign of the crab on the horizon are usually emotional and moody, and this is no exception. Remember that it’s okay to tread water when things get too deep, and you can let the rip current take you ��� eventually, it will let you go, and you can swim to shore. It’s when you fight it that things can go really wrong, really quickly.

Practice your very best self-care. Treat yourself with the same kindness that you would your most loved Other. If you’ve got anything left after that, extend it to as many of your Others as you can.

[seiryuuchan]

Back in December, re-reading some of Omega Red's older appearances, I started wondering about the name the Soul Skinner calls him here in this panel of X-Men 18:

Vasyliev Arkady. His human name has been given alternatively as Arkady Grigorievich or Arkady Rossovich, but Russian names have three parts, not just two: Given Name, Patronymic, and Family Name. Technically, Grigorievich/Rossovich would not be equivalent to his last name. EDIT: I wasn't able to resolve the mystery of why the Soul Skinner would call Arkady "Vasyliev" Arkady. The closest I could figure out was that it might actually be Arkady's surname (third name), since it can be either a patronymic or a surname. It might also have been meant as an insult, since calling someone only by their surname is how inferiors were traditionally referred to, or how a teacher might address a student, or ironically as in some modern usage.

Which then led me to wondering how his first name would have been chosen?

Russian first names are, or often were, chosen from Greek Orthodox tradition or pre-Christian Slavic names. Arkady is from the Greek "Arcadia" and there was a Russian saint in the Greek Orthodox Church, Arkady or Arkadios of Novotorsk from the 1600s whose saint's days are June 11th, July 11th, and August 14th.

Now I started to get curious about what kind of natal horoscope would Arkady Grigorievich/Rossovich have?

Buckle in with your drinks and snacks, because this is going to be a bit of a ride...!

Given that his first appearance was in 1992 and it's been stated several times he was in cryogenic stasis for 30 years; that Wolverine stated his team's operation to sabotage Omega Red's program was in the early 1960s; and that Arkady would have likely been in his early-to mid 20s at the oldest the time (likely entered military service at 18 if not earlier - this wasn't uncommon back before networked records, and his abilities would have likely been discovered pretty soon thereafter) gave me a rough likely timeframe of 1936-1943ish to consider for his birth year.

Western astrology doesn't give much importance to, or assign characteristics to, the year of birth, but Chinese/Eastern astrology does. Here's the breakout of the animal zodiac signs for each year in that range:

There's a lot of background I'm going to skip over here for the sake of brevity in what's already a long post, but from a thematic point as well as a likely age point, having a heavenly branch element of metal makes a certain amount of sense, not to mention the personality and characteristics usually ascribed to Dragon or Snake.

This was really a tough call, because with all the force of his personality, you might initially think Yang Metal Dragon is the logical choice for birth year. Both Metal Dragon and Metal Snake are ascribed similar traits of unyielding strength and resolve, really a lot similar between both of them for Arkady's observed traits. What really clinched it for me as his most likely birth year (again, following astrology's ascribed characteristics purely for fun) was the nature of Yin Metal Snakes being described as emotionally distant, suspicious, and absolutely undying in either loyalty or hatred for betrayal. THAT sounds like Omega Red to a T!

So 1941, likely in June, July, or August. Let's turn back to the Western zodiac for his sun sign - those mid-month dates give us the likely choices of Gemini, Cancer, or Leo:

Gemini

Flexibility, balance and adaptability describe the Gemini personality. Their responses can be difficult to predict and they may be prone to mood swings, but they can also be generous, affectionate and imaginative.

Cancer

Cancer people are traditionalists, loving a simple home life. They will usually be composed, but that hides a turmoil of moods going on under the surface. They are easily hurt and can be prone to depression, but they are loyal, sympathetic friends and carers.

Leo

Leo people are exuberant and powerful. Born leaders, they won’t hesitate to let you know what they think and that they are right. Which they usually are. They can be brave and intuitive, but may come across as pushy and overbearing. Their bossiness often hides a sensitive soul and an underlying insecurity.

Oh, our boy is HELLA a Leo, then. Hands down, no question!

So in combination with his official biography on Marvel.com giving his birthplace as Novorossiysk, with an assumed birthdate of August 14th, 1941, and after a little adjusting time of birth for rising sign, his natal chart looks like this, courtesy of Astrolabe:

Rising Sign is in 15 Degrees Scorpio

You tend to be quiet, reserved, secretive and, at times, quite difficult to understand. Others notice your deep emotions and feelings and wonder how to draw you out. Stubborn and tough, you fight for any position you believe in. You are very resourceful and formidable when you become angered or upset about something. You enjoy living life at the cutting edge -- for you life must be experienced intensely and totally. Quite courageous, you are willing to take calculated risks. Easily hurt by others, you often strike back with bitter sarcasm. Sensitive and curious, you are concerned with the deeper mysteries of human psychology. Once you have become interested in any subject, you pursue it with total fanaticism.

Sun is in 21 Degrees Leo

More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Moon is in 14 Degrees Taurus

Warmth, comfort, security and familiar surroundings are necessary for you to feel at ease. Very loving and affectionate, you prefer a steady, patterned way of life. Patient, calm and steadfast, you are not easily upset. Others look to you for support. You tend to be a slow starter and a slow mover -- others may try to rush you, but they will never succeed. Emotionally, you are quite stubborn -- your attitudes about people and things were firmly set in your youth and will change very little as an adult. You are also very cautious and conservative about spending money. It is not that you are selfish, you just need to feel secure. Beware of a tendency to become overly complacent and too self-satisfied.

Mercury is in 16 Degrees Leo

You are usually quite convinced that your own ideas are correct and you enjoy persuading others that they are. At times, you are very stubborn and proud of your beliefs and principles, and you get very defensive when they are challenged. You appreciate truth and honesty -- you practice it yourself and expect it in others. You have good talent for organizing, directing and planning. You delight in being asked for your advice and counsel.

Venus is in 22 Degrees Virgo

You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or causes. You have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided -- learn to love yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high -- you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You are supercritical of yourself and others and, at times, prefer to be alone rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you might relate.

Mars is in 20 Degrees Aries

You are very independent and self-assertive, and you have lots of physical energy. You are not satisfied unless you can be the first to do something. As such, you are more comfortable in leadership positions than you are as an underling. When you are challenged by anyone for anything, you delight in the competitive process and will fight long and hard for your beliefs. You are bold and courageous and often act without thinking. At times, in your zeal to get ahead, you are tactless and offensive -- learn that cooperation with others can often bring you nearer to your goals quicker because of the support you will get.

Jupiter is in 16 Degrees Gemini

You have a logical, detached, objective view of most things. Your interests are wide-ranging and you are an avid student, with expertise in many different areas. You love to work things out in your mind -- everything you do is reduced to an exercise in logic and reason. You have the ability to grasp abstractions and to deal successfully with the larger issues of life. Your overemphasis on developing your powerful intellect can cause your emotional and intuitive abilities to atrophy unless you consciously choose to exercise them.

Saturn is in 27 Degrees Taurus

Complete freedom of choice makes you ill at ease. You must have a firm, ordered, secure foundation in your life in order to feel comfortable. You do not adapt easily and tend to fear the new and untried. You constantly fear that you do not have enough (love, property, material things, etc.) and this makes you tend toward being selfish, withdrawn and stingy. If you try to surround yourself with supportive people in your environment, you will become more emotionally self-supporting.

Uranus is in 00 Degrees Gemini

You, and your peer group as well, are attracted to new, unusual and revolutionary thoughts, ideas and lifestyles. You prefer abstract, idealistic solutions to practical, immediately useful answers. You delight in communications, the mass media, electronics, computers and all sorts of gadgetry.

Neptune is in 26 Degrees Virgo

You, and your entire generation, idealize work, duty and responsibility. You tend to be very fearful of anything that would force you out of the protective shell of your everyday routines. You place a high premium on personal pride in productivity and craftsmanship. But in your search for perfection in minor details, you sometimes lose track of the overall purpose of life.

Pluto is in 04 Degrees Leo

For your entire generation, this is a time when the relationship of the individual to society as a whole is being thoroughly re-examined. Major attempts will be made to find a balance between the need to be self-sufficient and the need to honor debts of social commitment.

Happy birthday (maybe?) Omega Red/Arkady Rossovich!

N. Node is in 23 Degrees Virgo

You're usually quite at ease in leaving leadership roles in the hands of others. You would rather tend to the thousand and one details that need to be accomplished to keep any group going. Although you're very fussy and high-minded when it comes to choosing your associates, once your loyalty is given you can be trusted with many of the practical aspects of any project that is being undertaken. Usually quite unselfish, you will toil long hours in the service of any worthy cause that demands your attention. But be careful that your perfectionist tendencies don't get in the way of making real progress. (In other words, don't waste your time dusting clean shelves!)

If you made it all the way to the end of this post, thanks for reading! This was a real labor of love for one of my favorite characters in any fandom, I hope you enjoyed the journey.
