When investing money, the timing is just as important as the investment itself. On the special occasion of Dhanteras, the best time to make investments is during the “Shubh Muhurat,” which is a special time when the positions of the planets are favourable for financial success and always bring good luck.

What to expect from the stock market this week

Last week, the review of the macro market indicators saw with October in the books and heading into the election and FOMC meeting, equity markets experienced a Halloween spooking. Elsewhere looked for Gold ($GLD) to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil ($USO) consolidated at the bottom of a broad range. The US Dollar Index ($DXY) looked to consolidate in its uptrend while US Treasuries ($TLT) pulled back in their consolidation. The Shanghai Composite ($ASHR) looked to continue the short term move higher while Emerging Markets ($EEM) pulled back in their uptrend.

The Volatility Index ($VXX) looked to remain at a neutral level, above the base established this year, and was likely to stay there at least until after the election. This might make for choppy light trading for equity markets to start next week. Their charts looked strong on the longer timeframe though. On the shorter timeframe both the $QQQ and $SPY had reset momentum measures lower and could reverse or turn bearish, likely a couple of days’ time would tell. The $IWM did not seem concerned about an election or Fed policy, churning sideways.

The week saw major movements happen following the election. It played out with Gold pulling back from its high Wednesday before a partial recovery while Crude Oil found some strength and moved higher in a choppy range. The US Dollar jumped to a 4 month high while Treasuries fell back to a 5½ month low Wednesday before a recovery. The Shanghai Composite continued the move to the upside while Emerging Markets chopped in a wide range.

Volatility crashed down to the low end of the range since August. This put a stiff breeze at the backs of equities and they started to move up Tuesday and then accelerated Wednesday through the end of the week. This resulted in the SPY and QQQ printing a new all-time highs Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and the IWM gapping up to a 1 year high. What does this mean for the coming week? Let’s look at some charts.

The SPY came into the week at the 50 day SMA on the daily chart in a pullback from the top. It had a gap left open from the end of the week. It held there on Monday and then started higher Tuesday, into the gap. It gapped up Wednesday to finish at a new all-time high and leaving an island below. It followed that up with new all-time highs Thursday and Friday. The Bollinger Bands® are open to the upside. The RSI is rising deep in the bullish zone with the MACD positive and rising.

The weekly chart shows a strong, long bullish candle rising from the 161.8% extension of the retracement of the 2022 drop. The 200% extension is now within view at 614 above. The RSI is rising near overbought territory in the bullish zone with the MACD drifting up and positive. There is no resistance above 599.60. Support lower sits at 585 and 580 then 574.50 and 571.50 before 565.50 and 556.50. Uptrend.

With the Presidential Election and November FOMC meeting in the rearview mirror, equity markets showed jubilation as they vaulted higher. Elsewhere look for Gold to in its uptrend while Crude Oil consolidates in a broad range. The US Dollar Index continues to move to the upside while US Treasuries consolidate in their pullback. The Shanghai Composite looks to continue the move higher while Emerging Markets chop in their short term uptrend.

The Volatility Index looks to remain low and drifting lower following the election making it easier for equity markets to continue higher. Their charts look strong on both timeframes, especially the SPY and QQQ. The IWM has now joined the party, a stone’s throw away from making its first new all-time high in 2 years. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

Hello, can I participate in your game?

Of course, thank you for participating🤍

Your divine archetype:

🌧🌊🌋🔥 The pure wisdom of destruction, fierce compassion and the bringer of catharsys ⛈🌫🌩⚡

Your Goddesses:

Nisaba_ Sumerian goddess of knowledge, scribes and written word. She was first considered a grain goddess  and there are no accounts of her as a writing goddess, but as she bacame increasingly important among Mesopotamian people, there were more and more stories written about her. In "Dream of Gudea", she is pictured as "a woman holding a gold stylus and studying a clay tablet on which the starry heaven was depicted".

Your moon nakshatra_ Ardra, is the first Rahu-ruled lunar mansion in the Mercurial sign of Gemini. Rahu relates strongly to the written word, the essence manifested in a form, or just forms with no essence. Essentially, Ardra can be viewed as the birth of logic, analysis, complex thoughts, complex feelings, complexity in general, rationality and all that can be debated. In short, it's the nakshatra of collective humanity and its views, and since it's the first nakshatra of such overwhelming information and neural activity, it's also the nakshatra of pain and the birth of sufferring, where the "trauma" is arguably at its peak.

There is obviously more to your chart, but to begin with your most important placement is important to me, as it sets the tone for the whole thing.

Your dominant element is Air, with all of your big three placements being in the three Air signs_ a huge emphasis on the element of communication, rationalization, thoughts and cerebral activity in general.

Seshat_ Egyption Goddess of knowledge, writing, the written word, often compared to Nisab. She is often depicted with horns and a star between them. It was ssid that Seshat knew how to measure the distance between stars, observe them and other celestial bodies.

Associated with the labeling aspect of knowledge, Seshat can be strongly associated with Rahu. The air elememt, in general, has a lot to do with communication and exchange of information.

Even though Jupoter nakshatras do not have associations with these on the same level, they still relate to this element's themes.

Kymopoleia(or, Cymopoleia)_ Greek sea nymph, often considered a goddess, who was said to have the power to usher sea storms. Her name means "wave ranging", and her other name_ Cymatolege, means "wave-stirrer". She was married to Briareos_ hundred-handed storm giant.

So, sea storms are quite literally probably  the most direct association Ardra nakshatra can have. This stirring and violent, tense energy is one of the defining aspects of this lunar mansion. The notable thing is that in your chart, your other big three nakshatras_ Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada, also have this type of energy, especially the latter, because of its shared association with the god Rudra with Ardra.

All of these nakshatras tell a story of upheaval, of destruction and transformation towards something new, of righteous anger directed from the inner self to the goal of intense cleansing. They want to transmute their energy in a cathartic way, even if it looks "wrong" or rebellious to others, sometimes, especially if that is the case.

A goddess from Armenia_ Tsovinar, is eerily similar to her, who rules over water, sea and rain. Her name means "daughter of the sea", and she was said to make "rain fall down from heaven with her fury".

I'm going to move on to other goddesses who relate to those in some ways, but you can read about Kymopoleia in my Ardra as a goddess post.

Astrape and Bronte_ Greek goddesses, personifications of lightning and thunder respectively. Their task is to carry the lightning bolts of Zeus with pegasus, also being his shield bearers.

Vishakha nakshatra is related to merging opposites, and with that exchange, creating something bigger than the sum of what they both are separately. This generates electricity, so, Vishakha at large can be considered a nakshatra of lightning and thunder. Ardra is also associated with the thunderous cries and the rainy storms.

Sekhmet_ Egyptian goddess of war, fire, dance and medicine, often depicted as having a lion's head. She was said to have the ability to inflict disease on masses but also cure it. She could breath fire from her mouth, an ability that was likened to the desert wind.

Sekhmet was also considered as a Solar deity.

While your Rahu and Ketu are not technically in their exaltation nakshatras, they are still in their exaltation signs(Taurus and Scorpio), activating the axis of one of the Sun-Saturn nakshatra oppositions, that of Krittika and Anuradha. Rahu in a chart is said to represent what a person is meant to become. Krittika has thematic connections to Purva Bhadra_ it's the literal consuming fire that the excess of P. Bhadra is cleansed and reduced in, and it's also a Solar nakshatra.

Ketu in Anuradha though, amplifies the already relevant Saturnian influence, and adding to the occult associations(Sun in Saturnian Aquarius, Saturn Atmakaraka). Your Rahu is in the 8th house, meaning that you approach the matters of secrecy, sexuality, anything occult with carefulness and great precision, otherwise avoiding it alltogether. The material world is that of familiarity and reliable, however, and it's the key to accessing the energy that you'll eventually have the intense need to release.

There is definitely an aspect of healing in your chart. There is so much energy that is moved, that a change is almost certainly imminent.

There is a myth where at the end of his rule, the Sun god Ra sends goddess Hathor(associated with Uttara Bhadra) in the form of Sekhmet to destroy all mortals who have conspired against him. She did as he said, and her thirst for blood was not quenched at the end of that battle. She went on to destroy Egypt and wipe out almost all of humankind.

To stop her, Ra and other gods devised a plan to pour a lake of beer that resebled blood, dyed red from ochre. Mistaking it for actual blood, Sekhmet drank it, became too drunk and gave up on her violent endeavor.

To add a few goddesses, Yoruban Oya_goddess of winds, Greek Sophia_ Goddess of wisdom and Hindu Tara_ savior goddess are all in one way or another relevant to your chart.

If you want to research or find other goddesses yourself, you can search for goddesses of lightning, fire, rain, sea, wisdom, perserverance through challenges... etc.

As a last note, your chart ruler is Venus(Libra ascendant), and your atmakaraka(along with your rahu) is in Taurus. There is a Venusian influence in you, one that is focused towards restraint and harmony. If you feel called to, you can look for goddesses connected to that.

...

This is it, hope you found this helpful.

Carrot Harvest Helped Metal Detectorist FindA Ancient Coins Hoard

When Alan Baxter found a medieval ring in a farmer's field he knew there could be more ancient artefacts nearby - but the stubble from the thick oat crop made it difficult for his metal detector to get anywhere near the ground. So he waited.

Four years later the farmer had planted and harvested carrots.

"It must have had a deep plough when the carrots got lifted and I could get my detector right to the soil," the 44-year-old said.

"Every 3ft I was getting a signal. I couldn't move, there was stuff everywhere.

"I didn't want to go home."

The highlight of his haul in 2022 was a hoard of farthings from the reign of 15th Century Scottish King James III.

"I got my first one and I knew it was really rare because I know my coins," he said.

"After that it was just like a tap, it just kept on going, and over the course of a few weeks I pulled 52 of them."

The 500-year-old coins, which were made of copper and were worth a quarter of a penny, were in very good condition, Mr Baxter, from Falkirk, said.

The coins are irregular shapes. They have the Saltire - the cross of St Andrew - on one side and a crown on the other.

"To hold something that's hundreds of years old for the first time is extraordinary," he said.

"You get a real buzz going up and down your body which lasts all day and all night."

An expert at the National Museum of Scotland said it was the first hoard of James III farthings to be found since 1919.

Metal detectorists need to ask for permission from landowners to search on their land and anything they find must be handed into the Treasure Trove for analysis and recording.

Under Scottish law all finds of archaeological, historical or cultural significance must be reported and can be claimed by the Crown.

Neither detectorists nor landowners have ownership rights to any archaeological finds made in Scotland. Finds that are allocated to a museum through the Treasure Trove system are usually acknowledged by an award paid to the detectorist.

Detectorists generally split the money with the landowner.

Mr Baxter has detected at many sites, all of which he keeps a closely guarded secret. They include the 14-acre fields in Fife where he has now found more than 500 pieces ranging from the Bronze Age to the medieval period.

"I go along to farmers' doors with my portfolio of previous finds and show them what I do and ask them for permission to detect on their land," he said.

"You try to make yourself presentable, you put gel in your hair and wash your car and turn up in nice clothes.

"I hate getting permission because it's quite awkward speaking to the landowner. Farmers are busy and the last thing they want to do is speak to a wee guy asking for metal detecting permission."

The James III hoard has been put into the British numismatics journal, which charts the best finds in the country.

It also includes two Balliol coins which Mr Baxter discovered at the site in Fife. These farthings are extremely rare and are the only two to have ever been found in Scotland.

John Balliol reigned as king of Scotland from 1292 to 1296.

The find was allocated to the National Museums of Scotland and £5,000 was paid out.

Mr Baxter has also found 69 medieval coins from the reign of English King Edward I, whose armies invaded Scotland at the end of the 13th Century.

The medieval ring, which was his first find on the Fife site, dates between the 13th and 14th century.

"Initially I thought it was a bottle top because when it came out of the ground I could see the silver edges," Mr Baxter said.

"I saw the writing at the side and the big clasped hands at the front and I thought: 'That's a medieval ring'.

"It was just a great feeling to see it because it was a sunny day and it was twinkling away and it was in really good condition because it's been coated in gold, which has protected it from the soil."

Mr Baxter, who works as a lab technician, said he believed it was a betrothal ring.

"It would have been a higher status individual who owned it," he said.

"It weighs 9.5g, it's a heavy piece. A medieval penny would weigh about 1.2g, so that's about seven medieval pennies, so it wouldn't have been a peasant who owned that at the time."

The ring is silver but it has been coated in gold. It was eight inches down in the ground when his detector picked it up.

Mr Baxter, who has written a book entitled Making history: My Life As a Scottish Metal Detectorist, said it was hard for people to understand how difficult it was to find ancient artefacts.

He said: "In a general field 90% of the time there will be nothing in it.

"You could go in all the fields on the right and left along the M9 from Falkirk to Edinburgh and there would be nothing in them apart from modern Victorian stuff or Georgian stuff.

"It's hard to get stuff that's beyond 500 and 600 years old because the population was a lot lower."

Mr Baxter said a field could be full of medieval items, but detectors were not going to find them if the crops were too high.

"Then it comes down to knowledge and the best conditions," he said.

"You need to know that the crops need to be soft cut.

"Barley and wheat is softer than oats. When oats get cut the stubble is really hard.

"And obviously the carrot harvest was the best."

hey love.

I LOVE your readings soo much. I’ve never read an interpreter pay so much attention to detail and I admire that.

I’m not sure if you do personal readings, but I was hoping you could do mine.

My name is Lee (Lihle) from South Africa. Born May 15 2008, 15:10 in Pretoria

If you don’t, that’s also perfectly fine, I’ve just been so into astrology for years now, and wanted to know more on the Vedic system.

You are so sweet, thank you! that is very a lovely compliment 🤧

atm, i'm not offering full readings but!

i am very curious about all the charts of those who are curious to know, so! this is a mini analysis with some of my vedic observations 😌🤍

in your vedic chart, you are a Virgo rising (in Hasta) , Taurus Sun (in Krittika), and a Virgo moon (in Hasta).

immediately, to me your big 3 looks like this:

.

.

thank you for letting me read for you @leeeonlean! Your moon + mercury energy is soo !! with that being said, here is your vedic chart 💚

My immediate first impression, your chart suggests a deep interest in the occult, especially in the realm of divination. Tarot reading, palmistry, pendulums, reading tea leaves, and other divination techniques may have always intrigued you. And astrology of course! so you're in the right place 🤍

You have Venus in the 8th house, which supports your interest in the occult even more. You may enjoy dissecting even the smallest things, if it intrigues you.

Venus in the 8th also suggests that you may even be comfortable or familiar with dealing with sudden, big events in your life.

Do you feel like you have to hide your relationships as well? Venus in the 8th suggests that you may be someone who dives into relationships with some sort of 'hidden' aspect. Either you find yourself having to keep them a secret, or simply you may enjoy intense relationships. (eighth house is a watery house, naturally ruled by Scorpio. But you have Aries in this house, a fire sign. But aries is ruled by Mars, so in this house, it's almost comfortable).

Venus in your chart rules the second and ninth house-- you have potential to even make money from your divination/occult interest! Second house is naturally ruled by Venus, the planet of comfort, beauty-- and money!

Your ninth house is ruled by Venus, which is the house of publishing, higher learning, and long distance/foreign travel. You may find success from outside of the place you were born!

in fact, your chart is suggesting you may have moved far from your birth place, perhaps because of the father. (Sun is in your 9th house, in Taurus.)

Your chart ruler, Mercury is also here in the 9th!

Do you write? there are a few indicators that you may!

First, your Virgo ascendant. Virgo's are typically described as clean, meticulous, and shrewd. but these qualities are imperative to combat the effect of the 12th house. If there is no upkeep and maintenance (Virgo) then there is death and dissolution (Pisces).

Your ascendant is in Hasta! GORGEOUS placement. Hasta is ruled by Savitur, and he is described as 'gold-handed'. One of the main symbols for hasta is hands! with this moon+mercury energy, it is great for writing! Not just writing, but things like scrapbooking, creating collages, sewing-- these are hobbies that may yield your most creative results.

Hasta moons are the BEST placements for people with interest in tarot, divination in general, so again, even more clues to your rich inner world.

You have your moon in your First house, the house of self! this is also what I like to call a 'mild' fame placement, a lot of creators online who are loved by the masses have this particular placement.

With this, you have a bit of lunar energy influencing your chart, especially since you have Hasta as your ascendant as well. Hasta is not only ruled by Savitur, but also the moon!

Hasta placements are also really good with doing impressions, whether that's singing, voice mimicking, etc., all due to the reflective nature of the moon. this may or may not resonate, but just an observation.

Sun in Taurus also suggests a love for art in general, love for beauty! Your sun being in Krittika even highlights your creativity as sun also rules Krittika-- sun rules Leo who naturally rules the fifth house.

One downside I have observed with other charts though, is when Sun is in an enemy sign (yours being in Taurus), it could create possible strain or distance from the father, so I hope that that is not the case with yours 🤍

but having both mercury and sun in the house of publishing and higher learning, you have great prospects of publishing something beloved by the masses (moon being in 1H)

these were just a few things that jumped out to me, but I hope this helped! 💛

「Elvis Presley: Moon+Venus sign analysis

Hello my Royalties (followers of my blog will now be referred to as Royalties) because you’re a one of a kind STAR (Astro means star) ;))

Have you guessed I have a Leo in Venus placement…

I will be starting a series where I will be analysing the moon + venus signs of male celebrities and their dating track record..

I believe by doing so we can truly understand certain placements and we can learn how to now interpret them not just metaphorically but quite literally in our personal lives.. we can learn what to stay away from, potentially save our lives. Or we can find our best match

And what better way to start than with the King of Rock n Roll… Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley was a Pisces Moon with A Capricorn Venus…

Now the moon sign in a man’s chart tells us what kind of personality a man is typically drawn to

And the venus sign informs us on preferences in regards to appearance…

His Pisces moon in 2 degrees of Taurus indicates he had a preference for mysterious, withdrawn and shy women, women which seem to be in need of protection.

The 2 degrees in taurus also points to women who can easily be possessed as well as women who he could easily secure and guide, women that he could invest in.

Which is definitely very true as he is known for his questionable relationship to Priscilla Presley. He pretty much guided her into being his “perfect girl” , shaping her personal style, taste in music, what she wore.. and she was pretty much hidden in his home for a big part of their relationship until they got married.

Even with his other girlfriends, they were all very easily influenced and able to manipulated and shaped due to their young age, which goes back to that 2* degrees Taurus of stability and investing into something so it grows over time… a little creepy but yeah I’m pretty much just quoting history.

I was inspired to write this post because I have recently watched a series on Prime with his ex girlfriends talking about their experience of him which made me want to ,,, look at his chart.

The 2* in taurus also points to women from the countryside or women with very simple backgrounds which again is very true in his case… and for his girlfriends which had a bit more status, well they were usually involved in some kind of art but SPECIFICALLY singing with that Taurus because Taurus rules the throat. And that was again true.

Now his capricorn venus shows us that he would prefer a mature look on a woman in terms of her style, women wearing leather and dressed in darker shades, also somewhat traditional, also preference for a darker hair colour.

Example: He made Priscilla dye her hair so it was darker

With this placement being in 29 degrees in Leo it does have a grandiosity to it, okay, so this could mean women with grande hairstyles (Priscilla was really known for that beehive). And the 29 degrees in Leo also points to colours that really stand out even if they were in darker shades, it could just be colours with depths to them like purple, blues etc and it could also mean mixing shiny details with darker colours, like gold on black and so on. Which ya know, Elvis was quite notorious for his flashy outfits,,

Priscilla did state that despite her being underage, Elvis would make her wear mature and sexy clothes. Well.. that goes back to that 29 degrees in Leo. There’s a big contrast between that Capricorn venus and Leo degree because it denotes that he likes a woman who embodies traditional values but still appears flashy and is in the spotlight.

Hey guys! Please keep in mind a lot of time and energy goes into this research :) I love being able to share it with everyone and I want to keep sharing my knowledge unconditionally which is why I haven’t created a Tumblr+.

I also do pick a card readings on YouTube and it would mean the world if you checked that out

What to expect from the stock market this week

Last week, the review of the macro market indicators saw with the inflation reports behind us, equity markets showed strength with the SPY ending at an all-time high. Elsewhere looked for Gold ($GLD) to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil ($USO) consolidated in a broad range. The US Dollar Index ($DXY) continued to move to the upside while US Treasuries ($TLT) consolidated in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite ($ASHR) looked to reverse lower while Emerging Markets ($EEM) consolidate the start of an uptrend.

The Volatility Index ($VXX) looked to remain low making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts looked strong, especially the $SPY and $QQQ on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the QQQ and SPY were now ready to resume the move higher. The $IWM looked a bit less powerful but was holding near resistance, a good show of relative strength for the small caps.

The week played out with Gold chugging higher and ending at a new all-time high while Crude Oil fell back in the broad consolidation. The US Dollar met resistance at a lower high at the end of the week while Treasuries printed a Dead Cat Bounce after finding support Monday. The Shanghai Composite continued lower toward the September month end gap while Emerging Markets turned consolidation into a falling wedge.

Volatility drifted down to the lowest close of the month. This gave equities some breathing room and they rose to to start the week with the SPY printing a new all-time high Monday. All gave back some gains midweek before recovering to finish the week strong. This left the SPY back at the high, the QQQ near the October high and the IWM holding at nearly 3 year highs. What does this mean for the coming week? Let’s look at some charts.

SPY Daily, $SPY

The SPY came into the week at a new all-time high. It started off on the right foot making another one on Monday but ended out of the Bollinger Bands® on the daily chart. That led to a pullback on Tuesday and small reversal higher on Wednesday. Thursday broke higher as well with a gap up at the open, but it did not hold and then another gap up Friday held with the SPY ending at a new all-time high. The RSI is rising in the bullish zone with the MACD positive and climbing as those Bollinger Bands point higher.

The weekly chart shows a 6th consecutive move higher as it makes some separation from the 161.8% extension of the retracement of the 2022 drop. The RSI is making a higher high, negating a possible momentum divergence with the MACD crossed up and rising. There is resistance at 585 above. Support comes at 580 and 574.50 then 571.50 and 565.50 before 561.50 and 556.50. Uptrend.

SPY Weekly, $SPY

With the October Options Expiration in the books, equity markets showed some strength battling against a narrative of slower Fed cuts. Elsewhere look for Gold to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil drops in consolidation. The US Dollar Index may reverse the short term uptrend while US Treasuries pullback in consolidation. The Shanghai Composite looks to drop back from its spike while Emerging Markets stall in their move higher.

The Volatility Index looks to remain low making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the SPY is leading the way higher with the QQQ slowly battling back to its high and the IWM poking its head up perhaps to make another attempt at a run higher. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

Hi I'm sending my ask again😄🤪 Hope it goes through🤞Pls Tumblr don't disappoint me😪

Thank you for hosting this game, it's really interesting and a very creative idea🧚‍♀️✨

And once again thank you for your time, energy and knowledge! Sending you lots of love, light and peace! 😇💗

Hii💕 thank you for participating🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Alexa is another dear mutual and is very talented in tarot. She's also very sweet and overall an excellent presence on this site so go check her out!!!

I struggled with finding the exact goddesses that would fit perfectly with your chart but in the end I think I made the right choices. They may not be the ones you connect with but I hope their archetypes and the explanations will help you. 💕

The more detailed analysis of your chart and some sidenotes are in smaller text.

Your divine archetype:

☀️🥀🌸The abundant maiden of strength, endurance, beauty and love.💕🌳🍇🫒

Your goddesses:

Olwen_ the mythical daughter of the king of the giants_ Yspaddaden Penkawr, in Welsh mythology, Sun and flower goddess whose love story with a hero named Culhwch still inspires people today.

Olwen is described as fair skinned, her hair as yellower than straw, her cheeks tinted by rose, adorned in a bright red dress. Her steps were said to spring flowers from the ground.

Olwen means "golden wheel", representing the turns of fate and the cyclical nature of time, but contrasting another Celtic goddess, Ariandrhod(whose name means "silver wheel") Olwen is a figure of solar nature, embodying the maiden archetype, rather than the mother.

She has a few nicknames that give even more insight into her: "She of the white tracks" or "lady of the white tracks", "white lady of the day" and "flower bringing golden wheel of summer".

Moon's placement almost always dominates the chart. In your case, it's in Purva Phalguni, the Venusian nakshatra in the heart of the sign of solar Leo. This nakshatra is related to union and procreation. For females/feminines, it's the place of active fun and enjoyment, only possible because of the strong masculine presence and support towards her that is associated with this nakshatra. All Venus nakshatras relate to desire, especially Bharani and P. Phalguni. Bharani relates to the feminine, completely passive side of the desire that is so hidden even she herself cannot see it fully sometimes. Purva Phalguni though relates to the masculine view, where the desire is unashamedely acted upon but unlike Bharani, it's more visible. Bharani is all about secrecy, Purva Phalguni loves the spotlight. It's directly related to procreation_ union that produces "fruit", that's why it's called "the previos fruitful/red one". It's yoni animal, the rat, is also all about planting seeds, in every sense of the word. All in all, Purva Phalguni is very creative and solar in its venusian quialities, associated with the color gold.

Sidenote: not goddess related but look into the origins of the tale of "The Sleeping Beauty"_ "Sun, Moon and Talia." The procreation aspect is very blatant there, and the curse at 16 reminds me of the goddess associated with P. Phalguni_ lalita tripura sundari, who is depicted as a 16 year old girl.

And your Sun nakshatra_ Rohini, is related to growth and abundance, not too unlike Purva Phalguni. Lunar Rohini is indeed more passive, but both nakshatras can be seen as the "fruitful maiden" archetype. Rohini is also strongly associated flowers, just like Olwen. But your ascendant nakshatra tells a different story, the one of separation, struggle and trials. Ardra is the nakshatra of sufferring, pain, but also one of release, compassion and genuine humanity.

In general, look into goddesses of fertility, love, abundance, flowers, loyalty, with myths that show perserverance through hardship and the endurance if beauty and love.

Olwen's destined lover_ Culhwch was cursed by his stepmother to never marry his kin, due to her fears of being deprived of the inheritance. But the curse contained a prophecy_ that he would marry the giant's daighter, Olwen.

So he set out to find her and once he reached her land, he found that the giant king demanded that he should prove himself worthy of Olwen's hand. Olwen's father was said to die if she were to ever marry.

Culhwch completed the many nearly impossible tasks presented by the chief of the giants and he had to oblige. Olwen and Culhwch were happily married in the end.

Even though her role here seems passive, she was the catalyst and the motivator for a hero to prove his masculinity and worthiness.

Another Celtic flower goddess Blodeuwedd is frequently compared to Olwen and she is the one that directly reonates with Rohini nakshatra.

Another goddess that I associated with P. Phalguni(and Bharani) is Freya.

Freya(or Freja) is the norse goddess of love, beauty, sensuality, sex, fertility, magic and of the fallen dead.

Freya is heavily associated with gold and amber. Her name means "Lady". Purva Phalguni belongs to the Brahmin caste_ the highest caste.

Her mythology is also tied to separation and then union with her love. Although her themes are heavily connected to Bharani, I think that ultimately she can be associated with both Bharani and Purva Phalguni.

This is sort of a moodboard I made for Freya. More Bharani than Purva Phalguni in this instance but I love how the gold looks so... it stays, for now at least

Your atmakaraka is Mercury which also ties with the magical and shapeshifting aspect of Freya. It's also your chart ruler and is located in the Taurus portion of the fiery nakshatra Krittika, which I think might resonate with the abundant, growth orineted but fiery and passionate nature of Freya.

The Mercurial influence on your chart can't be ignored, as well the presence of both Anuradha as your Ketu and Ardra as your Ascendant, showing the two contrasting ways of viewing and dealing with hardship and struggle. Your primal instinct is to be patient and endure, to go deep and within quietly, but the outward manifestation is the outcry of Ardra, the one that pierces through the minds and rebels. There is a certain wisdom and compassion in all of this.

Anuradha is the nakshatra of deep and occult knowledge and devotion, Ardra is directly related to the scribes and the written word(the physical, visible version of thoughts and concepts, limited through definition).

One of the goddesses associated with those is Seshat, an Egyptian goddess of wisdom, writing, measurment(rahu) and time. She was reffered to as "the ruler of the books". I can't say that she relates directly to your chart but I included this archetype just in case you'd want to look into it.

Your chart is very interesting and it'd be a challenge for anyone to place it in a box. As I said in the game introduction post, it's best for everyone to research deities themselves, but I hope that the archetypes that I talked about resonate and that they might help you with finding your goddesses. 🤍💕

As always, you can message(or comment!) in case you have questions or want to talk more about it.

[autumnbrambleagain]

you ever have that moment where you realize you are fundamentally not the same species lol

person asked if we were having friends over for 4th of july and i saw a flowchart appear before us immediately

>issue: unknown human is requesting information with no immediate reason. interaction with the human is not desired but it is not socially acceptable to disregard question because of context of interaction >>analysis: question likely asked as default human social bond exchange. generate a response that fulfills the question without leaving space for further conversation. >option 1: say you already did a bonfire celebration a week ago. >>problem: requires too much explanation >>>problem: random human is not entitled to this information >>>>goto 2 >option 2: say yes >>problem: requires follow up questions, no lies pre-generated for this >>>goto 3 >option 3: say no >>problem: will also require follow up questions >>>solution: say we don't have many nearby friends to warrant one >>>>problem: this is technically a lie, but not one that can be contradicted >>>>>ideal choice, generate output >generated output: no, we don't have enough people nearby, we moved in from out of state

so that just all happened in like a span of a second and when i was out of the situation i felt like i had just sprinted 100 meters like i had just performed some great unwanted exhaustion

and i imagine like normal people don't. see this stupid fucking logic chart of "how to generate desired response for the human so the human goes away" when a human talks to you huh

because if it's this fundamentally exhausting to interact with other people for everyone, why do you all insist on living like this

i deserve to live in a cave on the side of a mountain on a hoard of gold sleeping for 100 years at a time
