Jake Taylor Astrological Chart Reading (Part 6)

Today in this article we will be looking at Jake Taylor Chart and with the current trend with X(formerly Twitter) user starheal going viral for her recent predication which you read here I thought it be a perfect time to do another astrology article!

To the people that have studied Astrology we know it works and does a very good job in providing insights in to our personalities and others. While it's true that culture, upbringings and other factors are always at play it's very ignorant to dismiss spiritual practices as there's also a Spiritual part of us that goes beyond the brain I believe and today once again I can prove this in this article, you can't convince the ignorant but some will listen and we appreciate yous :)

INTRO

Jake Taylor is famous for being the lead vocalist in the Australian Metalcore band in Hearts Wake if you know anything about this band they usually take a very humanitarian, social justice, environmentalism & a Spiritualist approach to their music, The lyrics are always spiritual and caring about the world and the 'corrupt' system.

Their first album was "Divination" back in 2012 with each song named after a Tarot card, How much Dark & Spiritual can you get?

Well his birth chart can explain a lot, He was born Feb 16 1990 the source is here sadly we do not know the time of birth but we can still get some birth chart information.

Sun / Mercury In Aquarius

Aquarians are known for their progressive, independent, and humanitarian traits. They often have a keen interest in social causes and a strong sense of individuality, They will fight for what they believe in if they believe it will also benefit humanity.

The way he acts on the outside(sun) and the way he communicates(mercury) are both in Aquarius meaning these two sides of his personality will have these Aquarian traits.

Having Mercury in it too only makes these traits stronger meaning he has a sharp, inventive mind with a preference for unconventional thinking and intellectual pursuits that challenge society.

What are the chances that his astrological sign exactly reflect the lyrical content of the band if astrology wasn’t valid?

Moon In Scorpio

The Moon represents someone's emotional self and in Scorpio gives him emotional intensity, depth, and a desire for transformation. Individuals with this placement tend to have strong passions and a need for emotional truth and intimacy, This also adds a dark emotional twist on top of his humanitarian Aquarian lyrics.

Scorpion Moons are not afraid to get in to the complexity of life whether that's life, death and the divine while not as Spiritual as Pisces(unless they have Pisces in their chart aspected strongly) it's still a placement that gives them the ability to see the complex of humanity.

Scorpio is often connected with mysticism, the occult, and spiritual transformation. his lyrics does touch upon themes of spirituality, cosmic consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all beings.

Scorpio is also associated with themes of power and empowerment. Which represents his lyrics also as he addresses these very issues.

Venus & Mars Capricorn

Venus represents how you show love while mars represents your energy and drive style so with these two in Capricorn this means his energy and drive(mars) is very practical, grounded and determined he is willing to do anything to make his band succeed no matter what it took.

Capricorn can have a dark edge to it so this only adds to the dark vibes with divination and the tarot vibes that the band has provided in 2 albums "Divination" in 2012 and the recent album "incarnation" in the year of writing this article 2024.

Capricorn's pragmatic and earthy nature can also lead to lyrics that explore taboo subjects or delve into the darker, less explored aspects of human experience. This could include themes like mortality, existential crises, societal decay, or the consequences of unchecked power.

OUTRO

As you can see when you see Astrology as a symbolic spiritual practice and not looking at it from a closed minded perspective like some like to do for whatever reason you can see that Astrology is a very reliable tool for self reflection and getting to know others, Its never the whole story to someone but its definitely a great starting point.

I only give enough information to give people an understanding on how accurate and real astrology is so i do not add in depth chart readings in this series, I only focus on the personal planets.

Fun with Zodiac Signs: Zack/Aerith/Cloud/Tifa

NOTE: Not really shipping related, this is just for fun I was idly doing based on tweet that came up on my timeline and people who try it are freak out of how accurate it is; even those who doesn’t really believe about personality traits from zodiac sign. This is the tweet:

So I went to “universal-tao-eproducts” and got what I copy-paste below. The sun signs are taken from their official bday. To get the moon one, you need to put your birth place in Birth Chart. I put Texas as Cloud & Tifa’s birth place for Nibelheim’s reference and the result is crazy accurate for them. I have no idea about Aerith which city in our earth similar to Icicle Inn so I pick the combination of moon sign that describe Aerith the most. As for Zack, since his bday isn’t given by SE (ugh, why?)... so this is the most accurate combination for me to headcanoning his bday^^.

AGAIN, THIS IS ACCURATE AS FUCK.

Zack Fair -- HC: Sep 23-29, 1984: Libra Sun, Sagittarius Moon (air/fire) why up to Sep 29? because he died on Sep 30

FREEDOM FIGHTER

You must have the room to believe and do, as you want. You most admire honesty, both in yourself and in others. You are never fearful to do what you think is moral or to say precisely what you feel. Your outlook is idealistic and your perspective is broad and extensive, but you may have some bewilderment when you find that others do not always match your standards of integrity or subscribe to your strange beliefs. You draw people to you with your free-spirited, courageous, and cheerful nature. Because your character is very self-governing, excitable, and restive; freedom is what you need most. You become incensed when someone tries to limit your expressive style or infringe on your way of life, even though you are even-tempered in most cases. Seeing the world through rose-colored glasses is a Libra-Sagittarian preference, so even if you believe you are always being truthful and uncomplicated in your dealings, there are times when brutal idealism stops you from perceiving the whole truth. Do not allow philosophy to rule every move or blind you to the more pragmatic parts of life just because your convictions are admirable. You like to play with abstract notions and ideas as an intellectual and details always slow you down. You prefer thinking about the infinite of surveying the universe to balancing your checkbook. Many of your lofty ideas can be put to good use in a more practical realm. Nothing is better for the Libra-Sagittarian than to go off on an African safari or an Alaskan expedition, so go ahead and book your ticket. Any sort of physical exercise is good for you. You are an idealist with love, as with all things. Fantasizing about your perfect lover is usually the start. You are a great lover and are giving, affectionate, and open. Unfortunately most of them stay stuck in your mind, just because you lack discipline. Mix it with some good old-fashioned common sense and think of what you could do with all that inspiration. The barriers have been broken before. Imagination is a very powerful aspect of your combination. Do not let your overactive mind take you off into Fantasy Land in the middle of a chat or a day at work. Fantasy is not a substitute for experience, but you admittedly you do need both to be healthy. It is likely that you feel a need to travel to faraway lands because your Libra-Sagittarius combination has a lot of restless energy and inquisitiveness.

Aerith Gainsborough -- Feb 07, 1985: Aquarius Sun, Pisces Moon (air/water)

TRUE BELIEVER

You are a very kind and helpful person and are able to identify and sympathize with almost everybody. Your innocent soul is humble, generous, and sensitive. You know the difference between right and wrong because you have an innate sense of integrity and wisdom. But your spirituality is not always synchronized with pragmatic common sense. You have no cunning or shrewdness and are completely trusting. Your faith in other is total and you would be eaten alive if other people were not so kind to you. Fortunately people never fail to respond in a positive way to your innocence. There is a dreamy look that Aquarius-Pisceans have and it seems they have just woken up and do not know where they are. This approach is used in everything, as though existence is carried on in several dimensions. If you see the entire world at once, you get mixed up because you cannot really separate the parts. It is possible a religious path might be for you because you are quite spiritual. Some Aquarius-Pisceans are even drawn to the monastic life. Furthermore, you may be especially tuned in to the occult and the mysterious. More mainstream people find this quite odd about you. Your imagination is strong and you have a very visual mental framework. Given the right motivation and teaching, you might be an artist or other creative entrepreneur. However you must acquire some direction and discipline from others to be successful. Without this, you are a ship with no rudder to guide you to your destination. You are a sponge for the stress or feelings around your environment. That is a strong influence on you. Meditating, reading, or listening to music from time to time is good for you. However, you must be careful that isolation does not take you away from involvement with others. High technology or heavy competition is not suited for you as a career. Involve yourself in a profession where you can use your compassionate and humanitarian feelings. Or perhaps think in terms of using your powerful clairvoyant skills. Because of your detached character, people might think that you are uncaring. Aquarian detachment may lead others to believe that you are not very sensitive, but the opposite is actually true.

Cloud Strife -- Aug 11, 1986: Leo Sun, Scorpio Moon (fire/water)

VACILLATOR

You relish a good battle and, in fact, if there is not a lot of competition, you feel somewhat cheated and let down. You are very motivated and determined, even though you show a playful image to the world. You probably believe that, if you ever revealed yourself, you would give your enemies an advantage, even though most of your enemies exist solely in your mind. Consequently you are very secretive in order to protect yourself. You view yourself and humanity with the greatest importance and you are a very intense Leo. Your approach is almost always a serious one. Jokes at your expense are not thought of kindly. You generally have a master plan for life, and you carefully follow it because you are purposeful, bold, and aggressive about everything. A kind of wall is built around you. You desire all the comfort, authority, and control you can get from life. You like material possessions and are sensual. Nothing can hold you back after you have set your sights on a job, toy, or romance. You go after your aims with quiet firmness, and your charisma, self-assurance, and ruthless willpower help you to get them. You have a lot of determination, fortitude, and a strong sense of purpose because both signs of your combination are fixed, but that also makes you obstinate and rigid, especially pertaining to your beliefs. It is very hard for you to accept the views or opinions of others. You are very independent and you seldom compromise. You have a very low stress threshold thanks to your rigidity. Aggression, irritation, or injured pride cannot be held in for very long and it is generally released quickly. You are obstinate and somewhat spirited. You are very insightful and astute to the ways of the world unlike most Leos. Finance, management, and business attract you, as do most things involving competition. You have probably experienced strong creative desires, however. A Scorpio Moon can inspire and assist the creative needs of the Leo Sun. You rarely follow through on those artistic desires because you are so worried about instant gratification including things such as when you might get your promotion or have your next sexual conquest. You might be the next van Gogh or Picasso if you would redirect some of those sensual drives and use some restraint. In this lifetime, when there is so much going on, your creative talents are not likely to find an outlet.

Tifa Lockhart -- May 3, 1987: Taurus Sun, Cancer Moon (earth/water)

PROVIDER

There is an insecurity and restraint about you too. This results in a person who shows an exterior that is stable, while internally there is insecurity. There is a gentle kindness in you that attracts others. You also have a charming and tactful nature to go with it. You realize that aggression does not work nearly as well as diplomacy. Handling people well is an inborn trait, as is your almost instant adaptability to situations. You seem to be on everyone’s side at the same time. You carry yourself with an air of confidence. You are controlled in your approach to life and this makes you seem secure. This combination has a Taurus side that is dedicated, motivated, and sensual. The Cancer aspect shows sensitivity along with imagination. Caution is necessary if you do not want to lose your own identity in this process of trying to please everyone. As you move on in age, do not allow yourself to become self-satisfied and smug because a big part of you is easily satisfied with your life. Push yourself beyond what you see as your limitations and this will surely help round out your life. It would be a shame to waste your numerous strong points and talents. Creativity in design or architecture are places you can showcase your wonderful imagination and artistic talents. However, professions that provide more financial security because of your Moon in Cancer attract you. Undertaking a career that is a gamble is unlikely because it goes against your basic nature. The Taurus powers of concentration and the Cancer Moon provide an ability to understand and remember what you have learned. However, you also keep a ledger grounded in emotions such that you remember every insult, rejection, threat or other circumstance for a very long time. You pout in preference to discussing your feelings of hurt or anger. You can become a cynical and sluggish person if you experience a serious emotional setback in the form of rejection. Obviously, releasing negative feelings like anger is best for you and this means expressing them openly. Aggression is almost unknown to you because you are a peaceful person. Luckily, the vast majority of people respond to you kindly because you will probably not come to your own defense. Occasionally though, it is imperative to state your views.

COMPATIBILITY & STORY RELATION

FYI, Sun Sign represent exterior self, ego---dictates what we want out of this life, how we view the world, and how we interact/express with others. Moon sign represent inner self---especially when you’re alone, a personality that is often unknown to others unless they’re so close to you and understand you on that level, reflecting emotion/feeling, desire, and fear.

Zack & Aerith’s sun sign is air; the most expressive tribe. Air sign is social butterfly, flirtatious, and they quickly drag you to their life. They are truth-seeker to put their right belief onto before action and curious about many things in the world. You also could see them externally similar as fuck and being happy couple, no need explanation, do you agree? Meanwhile, as the one who has fire element under the sun sign, Cloud has the highest ego and fiery personality upfront. You see how he alienated himself and pick up fights since kid because he thinks he’s the best of everyone. He’s also someone who hardly admit his weakness and prefer to cover it. But his exterior energy matches Zack’s inner self. His desire of what he want to become is what Cloud carries for the rest of his life and put into real action. Like the name, Earth sign, Tifa is the most grounded character and the most stable outside while Zack-Aerith-Cloud are turbulent/chaotic people.

Surprisingly, Aerith-Cloud-Tifa are emotionally similar as they all carry water element as their moon sign: sensitive, depth of feeling, private, empathetic. So they all can be compatible each other to understand feeling while Zack is the most rational one who uses mind more than heart. The difference is... As Pisces, Aerith is the most selfless. As Scorpio, Cloud is the most secretive. As Cancer, Tifa is the most nurturing. Meanwhile, Zack & Tifa has no compatibility, both of their sun and moon sign are all opposites. Story-wise, they also have no interaction other than a week in Nibelheim where Tifa guided Zack to Nibel reactor, texted him about blond SOLDIER, and he felt responsible for the incident happened to her.

PS: I also search for Barret (Dec 15, 1972) and tweet it on my Twitter account, he’s Zack’s reversion: Sagittarius Sun-Libra Moon; probably gonna do more characters!

Hi, I'm a female INFJ 6w5 who is a Ravenclaw according to Pottermore. And I'm an Aquarius who is born in Feb 5. So I'm a person who tends to overanalyze situation and I can get too moody. But on the positive side, I like to read philosophical books, deep poems and I love arts. Furthermore, I'm a melancholic who can be a bit too perfectionistic that I can get too depressed if things don't work on my way.

I ship you with...

🍷 Ango Sakaguchi 🍷

You like to have a some kind of order in your life and you don't really see it as a problem. You just like certain things to be in a certain way and being an INFJ, an Aquarius, a 6w5 and a Ravenclaw all coincides with this. So it was no surprise when a clean, sharp looking man like Ango walked into your life, your interest was piqued, to say the least.

First of all, you're an Aquarius. You're always after intellectual stimulation, constantly trying to discover new experiences for yourself and you love to form new opinions your mind can delve into. Ango can offer hours and hours of conversation with you regarding anything and everything under the sun. Although he is not talkative, he has a lot of information stored away in the depths of his mind. You can jump on one topic to another and he can still carry the conversation; which is exciting for you as you are pretty good at acting like an expert on any topic as well. You're also verbally skilled and very witty (this Aquarian trait aligns with you being a Ravenclaw), and might even say some snarky remark that others might find a bit too much but Ango is different. He can exchange clever banters with you and it would often result in a standstill as neither of you is willing to surrender. Being born under this sign also makes you the ultimate independent woman. This makes you a very good candidate to be Ango's mate as he can be a busy man. He appreciates someone who can take care of themselves and doesn't heavily rely on him (or others) very much, which you are based on your 6w5 personality.

Your 6w5 self also makes you unquestionably introverted. You can even appear to be detached sometimes since you deal with a lot of things alone. Ango doesn't really mind this because like stated, he is a man with an important job, but that doesn't mean he doesn't notice the melancholia in your eyes. Ango is not emotional but he still feels it, he's not completely devoid of them and deep inside, he's a very caring person. He's quite understanding too and would approach the situation very cautiously. He won't pry too much if you don't give him a piece of your mind willingly but he will always come up with something to say to comfort you. Either to assure you that you're strong enough to overcome any hurdles or that if you don't feel like you're strong enough, he'll always be there to lend you his strength and hold you up. If something didn't go the way you would've wanted to, Ango will not hesitate to set aside what he's doing and pay attention to you instead. He will sit down and devise a plan for you to either succeed on your next try (which he will greatly encourage you to) or on how to get in terms with the things that's simply beyond anyone's control. Either way, count on him to hold your hand (metaphorically or literally) if you need one during hard times.

In addition, your Aquarian traits makes you someone who doesn't get emotionally involved very easily. Romantic relationships progress slowly for you and you may not be fond of showy displays of affection. Luckily, Ango is on the same page as you with this one. Like you, he wouldn't waste his time on affairs he finds unimportant. So you can be sure that Ango holds you to a level of importance in his life and he's honest with his intentions. You and Ango will have the communication compatibility to always meet at a common ground both in logic and in emotional needs. You would always work as a team and solve problems together with your combined wit and intelligence. Ango would also not have a problem with giving you the freedom and alone time that you need every now and then. Your trust with each other has passed every trials before you fully committed to each other so neither of you would have worries about the other's loyalty when apart.

Along with your 6w5 trait of wanting some sort of control, your INFJ also plays a role of your tendency to be perfectionistic and picky. However, in relationships, this is due to the fact that you are not just looking for a relationship. You are looking for someone that you truly connect with and possibly someone to spend your whole life with. You see intimacy as a certain kind of outlet to express your unconditional love to your partner and wouldn't just give it so easily without a thought. This is another part of you that greatly complements Ango. Your relationship is mature and both of you would not be together if you can't see your future with each other. Ango also shows romance in his own way like clearing his schedule to arrange different kinds of dates for the two of you to enjoy and giving you gifts. The gifts may not come often but when they do, it's always something valuable.

Overall, I think you're a good fit for each other because Ango is someone who you can have fun with by stimulating each other's mind and engaging in friendly, witty verbal battle. You might find his intellectual prowess challenging and that's exciting for you. Ango is also someone who is mature and wise enough to understand you when you're being moody or overanalyzing things. He will always be speaking to you in a very logical way while being sensitive and warm with his language. He will also be someone that you can share your hobbies of reading philosophical books, deep poems and arts with as this is things he finds interest in, too. It's all about your communication compatibility that makes you so fitting for each other. Ango will find you attractive just because of the fact that you can keep up with his own knowledge of things. You're just in the same wavelength. Just because it's all about intellectual discussion for the two of you, doesn't mean that your relationship is boring. You just have fun in your own unique ways.

Thank you for sending this, flakinghearts! 💕 I hope this matchup was worth the wait and warmed you up inside somehow hehe~ Stay wonderful!

alrighty y’all i’m making my most ambitious post abt trying to figure out the timelines of legends and that’s figuring out behrad’s zodiac sign

okay so in a previous joke i laid out my timeline for the last half of s4 but i stopped after 4x12 but just as a recap

and even tho i never finished the dates for the rest of the season i proposed that ‘egg macguffin’ picks up january 7, 2019 (monday) and thus 4x14, 4x15, and 4x16 take place within the rest of the week with ‘heyworld’ spanning from january 11th (friday) and january 12th (saturday)

this timeline is VERY important bc we see baby z n her mom during those last two episodes and that helps us determine when behrad was born

in my own timeline i had them go home to celebrate his birthday in march but as i’ve established, my timeline is a good month and a half off from the actual show’s timeline. but bc of the nature of my AU, it’s very easy to calculate that date

n that’s bc, lads, it is indeed organized by how far along zari was in her pregnancy

according to my handy dandy outline, the two of them go to their parent’s house to celebrate when she’s eight weeks along. i used a hypothetical date of conception (feb 12) to calculate her due date, which lines up with ‘seance and sensibility’

so, we add six weeks to the weekend of dec 15-16 to get a hypothetical birthday! easy!

but as i calculated i realized i had made a grave error

going from the canon timeline i accommodated for the holidays bc like... come on. which adds an extra two weeks that wasn’t there in my original calculations (meaning, i had a much shorter gap between 4x12 and 4x13 to explain how she could miss missing a period bc of the chaos)

so okay. that six week method wouldn’t work bc that would assume that behrad was born literally one week after heyworld and i’m no expert, but i doubt his mom was that far along

HOWEVER if we stick with the assumption that behrad was born THREE weeks after heyworld, we have a time frame to guess from! bingo!

three weeks after january 11th-12th puts his birthday around early february (feb 1 - feb 2, to be exact, though anywhere from jan 28th to feb 3rd gives more flexibility) and THAT my friends makes our dear behrad, lovely air totem bearer, an aquarius

according to the best resource on the zodiac out there, aquarians (why do they get a fancy name) are “independent and enigmatic”. b/c i had to look it up, that’s just a fancy word for mysterious. they also have a strong sense of social justice and making the world a better place, and are “very concerned about others, not because of how others treat them or how they want others to treat them.”

some more things from that article which like, tbh, i think #1 and #5 are the only ones that might be true based on what we have seen

anyways. did i spend a half hour doing stupid math for astrology? yes. do i regret it? just a wee bit

(hey coulda been worse he was nearly an aries)

[lovemeherstuff]

See article below

                                                           Ellen DeGeneres                                      Humorist and a                                      Force for Good                        

.Ellen, the future comic, was born February 26, 1958 at 3;30 AM in Metaire, LA, very near New Orleans. Metaire means “tenant farmer. Her family, according to her, was poor when she grew up Now she is worth $450 million. DeGeneres is a French last name. “De” is “of” in French, so “of Generes”.

Her sun is in revolutionary aquarius (Oprah Winfrey is also an aquarius) in her second house merged with Venus (popularity) in aquarius and close to chiron in aquarius. The combination of planets is HUGE is SIGNIFICANCE for her. Her Sun and venus also square Neptune (and Jupiter). Any Neptunian aspect to the sun creates a IDEALISM, IMAGINATION and hopefully a spirituality in the. The personality. The sun and venus also square the nodes !

Her Saturn is a serious grounding factor in her persona so she comes across expansive yet serious. She has south node in Taurus which gives her pragmatism and perserverance put an over reliance on the physical world. Her destine is a spiritual transformation as indicated by the north node in scorpio conjunct neptune. When she came out as gay, it was bigger than people thought – as her inner being has been transformed too.

 GET THIS!!! SHE IS FEISTY! She has moon in aries in the fifth (playfulness) with sagittarius rising and mars in in the first house. Right now, she is undergoing an opportunity to change her “too good” image (See her new standup routine on Netflix called “Relatable”). Jupiter is in sagittarius and will go over her ascendant, saturn and mars and trine her moon. So the sense of opportunity to expand her image is a major factor is majr in her current personality.  

 Also she just passed her Saturn return, a serious life cycle event,  in sagittarius and is actively changing her professional persona.

 The moon and mercury are in a square position. This may be part of her gift. The moon in aries is very impulsive yet “upfront”, dynamic and expressive. It is also about “Me”. All her shows have been called “Ellen De Generes”!! But her mercury is in serious, structured pragmatic capricorn. It is a dilemma between a very plodding practical mind and a spontaneous, feisty moon. This was probably a product of parenting from the mother’s side. I think she uses that tension to be able to plan out her show (which must be a plodding process) and then just “go with it” on air.  

Uranus is in Leo and opposes the sun, venus and chiron. This is another BIG aspect in her chart as the LEO wants Attention and the aquarius wants to defer it. Clearly her uranian mission is do both, being a humanitarian but with unpredictable, out of the box humor.  

Her larger sense of mission is PLUTO in virgo. Virgo is also about self growth, psychologically and physically. But the key is service to others. I think she manifests her service in combination with her Neptunian, spiritual energy.

              Transits and Progressions (what is happening now)

A major progression, called the progressed midheaven, is affecting a change in her public identity and this aspect is moving into sagittarius. She has decided to change her public identity (from Scorpio to Sagittarius) and she  wants to quit her daily show and go back to stand up comedy with less of a “nice” personality. This progression will be exact in 6 months-peaking in  June-July of 2019. She wants to expand her outward public persona and mix it with her aquarian, out of the box, humanitarian nature.

 Her desire to take chances (mars) is also peaking. In a couple of years, the progressed sun will also conjunct venus, increasing her popularity and helping her to merge the masculine and feminine part of her nature However it the aspect is very much in effect already and she is acting on this part of identity publicly. It will certainly produce a more straightforward, “shoot from the hip” public persona

Aries is outward so she will need to make the best of both energies – personal, warm, and nurturing with “impulsive”, fast acting and charismatic. 

 On another note (like a symphony) her progressed mars in aquarius is separating from a conjunction to her sun. This progression will last for several years and will  out the aggressive, action part of her nature..  

People will probably love her changes and she is already widely loved. The Sagittarius progressed Mc will produce a more wide open, adventurous public persona. 

Her progressed moon is in cancer and about to square he progressed sun in aries. This will happen in two months, which represents a need to take action toward a new direction. aspect Cancer is inward mars is also opposing her progressed uranus. This can be very unpredictable and force her to deal with “issues of aggression” via opposition with others she has not faced before. 

On Jan 1, 2019 (tommorrow), mars (by transit) goes into aries  until Feb. 14th. This is a short transit but significant for Ellen as it enters the sign of her moon and reinforces the progressed mars conjuncting her sun.  A six week period of amping up the aggressive side of her nature in concert with the larger changes mentioned earlier. It all works together.  

The mars is aries merges with her moon exactly on Jan. 26th, the exact day of her birthday. This implies a whole year (per solar return) of emotional catalyst and risk taking. She want to be more open and bold with her feelings, which she has repeatedly said recently have been somewhat stifled by her “good girl” image on the show.

What You’re Addicted To, According To Your Zodiac Sign

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20):

Addicted to Romance.

Pisceans are known for their almost constant dreamy state. They spend most of their lives dreaming of grand things and grand romances. They most probably should exist in the time of chivalrous knights and fair ladies who swoon. Their predilection to dreaming as an escape from reality makes them liable to be addicted to grand romances and love. They usually dream of great if not impossible romances and carry some of these expectations into their reality, and sometimes this can mess up a great relationship they had going with someone because they expected their dream man and real man to merge and have the same thoughts and actions which is sometimes impossible. Then, they spend their lives trying to find the literal man of their dreams by going from relationship to relationship which might leave them disillusioned and unhappy. Their attachment to dreaming can also cause a rift between their expectations and reality in all aspects of their lives. Pisceans have to realize that dreams are one thing, reality another. They should also fight to stay in reality more than they stay in their dreams. 

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18):

Addicted to Fantasylands.

Aquarius borns are known for their intellect, imagination and aloof behavior. They find it hard to communicate their feelings with people and often need an outlet for their pent-up emotions.

This comes in the form of video games and books. Nothing makes an Aquarian happier than to be playing a video game. They get very animated and also channel their feelings into the game.

They can also be seen reading books as a way to build up their imagination. They would especially read crime books because they get to figure out the guilty party early on or at least try to. It serves as a relaxation technique while also building up their intellect.

However, they should rouse themselves up once in a while to talk to people and communicate their emotions to people so that they can have healthy human relations with other people.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19):

Addicted to ambition and hard work.

Capricorns are known to be the dour ones. They are single-minded in their pursuit of success and can do so to the exclusion of other people and things. So it goes without saying that they are addicted to work. Even their addiction is dour. Capricorns are workaholics who can happily work from sunup to sundown. This can affect their health and will negatively impact their relationships with their family members or their partners because they won’t have time for them. To a Capricorn, work is his priority. 

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

Addicted to Adventures and Globetrotting.

Sagittarians are a traveling bunch. They love to go to new places and meet new people. They enjoy meeting the unknown and are most liable to take a jaunt into the Amazon forest for fun. They are the ones who travel to exotic places every summer and take selfies on mountain tops or with different people from different places. Globe-trotting is nice because it offers a person the chance to meet new people. However, when it becomes an addiction, Sagittarians won’t have time for anything or anyone else in their lives.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21):

Addicted to Sex.

Sex is one of the highest heights of intimacy that can exist between two people. Scorpios love intimacy a lot. They love to delve into the heart of a matter and know the very psyche of a person. This leads them to be addicted to intimate acts like sex. Sex on its own is pretty awesome, but when it becomes an addiction, it can cause a lot of problems. Scorpios should pay attention to their obsession with intimacy and find other less intimate things to do. 

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22):

Addicted to their Phones.

Libras love and enjoy being showed love. In this digital time when love equals the amount of likes or comments on a person picture, Libras have gotten easily addicted to their Phones. They spend almost all their time taking selfies and beautiful photographs and posting them on social media. A favorite of them would be Snapchat. They crave other people’s love, and this can be damaging if they spiral down mentally when they don’t get it.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22):

Addicted to emotionally sapping relationships.

Virgos are living and caring people with a large capacity to forgive. This makes them easy prey to bad relationships. They find themselves giving their all and forgiving almost everything their partner does so that peace would reign. The sad part is that their soft hearts will always lead them too hard men who wouldn’t be able to give them the life they deserve or require to be happy. Virgos should learn to stop trying to save everyone and concentrate on their happiness for once. 

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22):

Addicted to the spotlight and Shopping.

The lovely Leo’s are regal like the lion they represent. Also, like the lion, they rule and are at the center of attention at all times. This is a fault of theirs when it becomes obsessive.

Leos love attention and where best to gain attention than on the numerous social media platforms? The Leo born could spend hours going through his timeline and posting captivating pictures and write-ups. They are those people on Facebook who have a bazillion friends and so many likes. Their favorite social media platforms would include Instagram and Facebook. Attention is their addiction, and social media is their drug.

Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22):

Addicted to Pills.

Cancers are very emotional and sympathetic people. They love with all their heart and sacrifice a lot for their loved ones. This makes any heartbreak they endure very painful and almost too much for them to get over, and so they lean on drugs. They have one of the worst things to be addicted to. They rely on painkillers and prescription pills to get through their heartbreaks and disappointments.

Cancer borns should be careful of this and avoid it by getting professional help, leaning on friends and family or distracting themselves from their heartbreaks with movies and other activities. 

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20):

Shopping and communication.

Geminis are free, fun loving people with sunny personalities that are subject to quick changes. They love to communicate with people and are very outgoing and fun.

They are usually the life of the party and because of their dynamic personalities. That being said, they love to shop because clothes are another huge way to express themselves, their moods and their thoughts. Because of this, they love to spend a lot of money on shopping which may lead them to financial issues. They also get to meet many people at the mall and make new friends, and since they love to communicate, this is perfect for them. But as with all addictions, curtailing the need to buy every new outfit they admire is wise to avoid being in a financial quagmire.

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20):

Addicted to food.

Taurus Borns are the foodies of the Zodiac signs. They are moved by what they feel through their senses, and it becomes less of a fat cry that they would be addicted to food. Not just any food, but food that tempts the palate and tastes good, including junk.

The Taurus born is all about pleasure and comfort, and if he or she had a bad day, the only remedy is to eat comfort food to make him or her happy. They love food; they regularly have secret stashes of lovely snacks like M&M’s, Pringles, chocolate and more. This can quickly escalate into to a big problem as they are more liable to be obese and to suffer from an obese related disease. 

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19):

Addicted to stimulating things.

Everyone knows that an Aries is confident, adventurous, enthusiastic and energetic. They are always ready for the next adventure and high. They love to be alert and ready for anything. They are happiest riding an adrenaline high. 

This trait of theirs makes them more probable to getting addicted to stimulating things. Things that’ll make them feel a bit high and ready to take on the world. Anything that will make them alert is welcome. They can get addicted to coke, coffee and other such stimulants to recreate the high they get from adrenaline rushes.

The Dark Side of Aquarius

Erratic, Self-Absorbed, Tactless, Superstitious

It’s not unusual for Aquarians to go to the workplace, ignore their job, and work on their novel or new invention. Co-workers will soon yearn to give them a beating or a boot out the door. Or like Sarah Palin (Feb 11), Aquarians will simply abandon the job. They hate the whole idea of working for others; they want short hours or none. They work best when they create their own jobs, like Oprah Winfrey (Jan 29) or Simpsons animator Matt Groening (Feb 15). They are, by nature, allergic to what’s normal, so if you are normal, you won’t see them in person much. Aquarius is also the least common zodiac sign.

Many Aquarians start out with glittering and tremendous potential, like Princess Stephanie (Feb 1) and Paris Hilton (Feb 17). Declaring they “have to be themselves,” negative Aquarians then make a string of poor choices and, in defending them, lose respect. Because of their faults, the people who once counted on them turn against them. When this happens, Aquarians believe it's because others are incapable of appreciating them as prophets & geniuses. They’re proud rule-breakers. This can be good: Aquarian Abraham Lincoln (Feb 12) decided to free the slaves (in part so the men could join his army). Lesser Aquarians think ignoring rules and common sense makes them rebels and rogues. Idiot US politician Sarah Palin (Feb 11) titled her book “Going Rogue.” If caught in a sticky wicket, like Paris Hilton with her sex tape, Aquarians will give a speech about the violation of their rights, making everyone laugh.

Aquarians and Relationships. A negative Aquarius runs from problems and denies making mistakes, except to a few very close friends and intimates, who have the rare privilege of seeing past Aquarius’ self-absorption and stubbornness into their well-meaning hearts. They get extremely attached or even addicted to the few who can break through their shells and get close. The “addicted” Aquarian will dismantle his or her whole life and personality to keep the relationship going, lacking the nerve to break it off.

Although their weird ways can be endearing, 2 of their traits alienate lovers: First, they don’t know what they want, but they always want what they don’t have. This is the zodiac sign that will dump you to go back to their ex. Second, they overthink, analyzing a lover’s every word and action, worrying, consulting friends and psychics and horoscopes; everything but asking outright, “Where is this relationship going? Is it working for you?” If an Aquarius can do that, it is a sign of maturity, but it rarely happens

Aquarians eagerly point out others’ mistakes & imperfections. They're famously scared of relationships. If you have the right kind of ringtone or pass their other little tests they’ll condescend to sex, but slink away within the hour saying they have to feed the pet or prepare for tomorrow. If you’re engaged or married (they think of it as “trapped for life” or “meal ticket”), he or she will want a dwelling with separate bedrooms, bathrooms, hobby rooms, and offices. They have no idea how deeply they’re insulting you.

Aquarius gets used to seeing angry people from parents on up, so they’re always on the defensive and believe any criticism is unfair. Unless they have learned the hard way, the Aquarian has no clue that other people shouldn’t be interrupted and that they have feelings. Even the most pathetic Aquarius or Aqua Moon will bluntly tell you what your problem is and how to fix it. The scary thing is that they're often right. Astrologically at least, they are the Bringers of Knowledge to Mankind. For Aquarians, especially those on the borderline of being negative Aquarians, the best bet in life is not love or career but service to humanity as a whole.

Negative Aquarians: Football coach/sex criminal Jerry Sandusky (Jan 26), Dick Cheney (Jan 30), Rick James (Feb 1), Kim Jong Il (Feb 16), Paris Hilton (Feb 17), Lee Boyd Malvo, Beltway sniper (Feb 18).

From an article by Sylvia Sky, experienced astrologer.

[ancientalienofficial]

Mewtwo is canonically an aquarius (his birth day is Feb 6th, as stated in game) and his constant questioning of why he exists and his role within the society that made him and the universe as a whole is very Aquarian themed. Plus hes a science experiment, and aquarius is not only an air sign (Air element relates to knowledge, intellegence, communication and conflict- all themes associated with Mewtwo) but aquarius, as the symbol of the man with the jugs of water, represents the "pouring out of knowledge" and is often associated with the myth of Prometheus. As one might imagine, a successful clone- especially of Mew (the all mother. The alpha) - is a huge scientific advancment on par with man learning to weild fire. If mewtwo was a Capricorn, he'd be more willing to serve his intended purpose than reject or question it. Capricorn plays the game, Aquarius tries to break it. The angst is generally comparable tho haha.

I can def see Mew as a Pisces, but I think it relates more to the cancer archetype. Cancer is the sign of the mother, the creator of all life. It also has associstions with the past and both mental memories as well as genetic memories- aka herditary legacy- and all pokemon are a legacy of Mew's DNA. In Pokemon snap, you find Mew on the moon, and in astrology the moon rules over cancer. While Pisces does have strong connections with the moon as well, the reason I think mew is cancer is its position as the mother of metwo and not the other way around. Pisces is a sign more tied to the child > mother relationship while Cancer is tied to the mother > child relationship. I totally felt Mew as a Pisces too originally before i started adding up the corresponding symbols.

Ngl i think about pokemon's subtle esoteric inspirations more than any casual fan should. I have a lot of notes on Pokemon lore and occult connections. It's almost embarrassing.

mew is a pisces and mewtwo is a capricorn, change my mind

Couples of these zodiac signs are considered the least compatible | The Times of India

01/5Zodiac couples who do not pair well

Sometimes two people would meet and the chemistry they share would be so palpable that even strangers would take notice. If we look into astrology, some zodiac signs are meant to be together because they share such compatible characteristics and favourable birth charts that when they meet, they get on like a house on fire. Similarly, some zodiac signs make very awkward couples and they score the lowest on a compatibility scale. Have you wondered how compatibility can be predicted by the zodiac signs? According to experts, in astrology, some elements work better when matched with similar elements. For example, we all have elements like earth, water, air and fire; the elements air and fire work well together and similarly earth and water pairs favourably. If a fire sign is paired with a water sign, they might not get together so well. Also, how two signs are positioned in the astrological chart matters a lot. So, let’s look at a few zodiac pairs who do not get along so well when romantically linked.

02/5​Aquarius and Capricorn

Aquarius and Capricorn, the next-door neighbours in the astrological chart, have to pay the price of this position when paired together. They would often feel disconnected owing to the natural characteristics of their zodiac signs—the practical Capricorn can often turn demanding, which would definitely make an Aquarian feel uncomfortable because he or she highly values a sense of independence. A relationship between these two signs can often run into impossible to overcome roadblocks.

03/5Leo and Cancer

Leo and Cancer have such vastly different ways of approaching relationships and love. Cancerians are essentially homebodies and are very family-oriented people. When they are in a relationship, they look for emotional stability and would nurture the relationship to make it a life-long affair. However, same is not the case with a Leo, who does not easily fall in love because they value themselves so much that finding a partner good enough for themselves becomes a task. Unlike, Cancerians who are mostly big homebodies, Leo has a very fiery nature and always looks for attention. When a Cancerian falls in love, the relationship becomes bigger than him but in the case of a Leo, he always considers himself bigger than the relationship.

04/5​Virgo and Sagittarius

Virgo and Sagittarius are separated by 90 degrees, or what is called the ‘square aspect’ on the astrological chart; this element makes them incompatible signs. Moreover, the perfectionist Virgo can easily irritate a happy-go-lucky Sagittarian. Their flirting can easily turn into ugly bickering if they don’t learn how to tone down their natural instincts. Also, both will have a tendency to dominate the other when in a relationship and when in a workplace, only an equation like a boss and a subordinate can work but if both have the same power and position, they would often be at loggerheads.

readmore

05/5Pisces and Leo

Pisces and Leo are placed at 150 degrees angle apart, which is also called the quincunx or inconjunct aspect, on the astrological chart. According to experts, the planets involved in an inconjunct or quincunx don’t understand each other and moreover, these zodiac signs belong to two incompatible elements—Leo belongs to the fire element of the zodiac while Pisces is a water sign. And both these zodiac signs have different approaches to life and relationship. A Leo loves attention and keeps away from romance or anything that will steal the limelight from his life. However, a Piscean is a die-hard romantic and Leo’s overbearing nature might make her feel very unwanted and insecure.

My Love-Hate Relationship With Chef Paul Bocuse

New Post has been published on https://relationshipguideto.com/must-see/my-love-hate-relationship-with-chef-paul-bocuse/

My Love-Hate Relationship With Chef Paul Bocuse

If astrological predictions are at all accurate, few people in the world could have been as similar in style and substance as Paul Bocuse and me. The most famous of all modern French chefs, and the acknowledged father of nouvelle cuisine, Bocuse who died on Saturday at the age of 91, was born on Feb. 11, 1926. I was born on Feb. 10 in the same year.

But even if our Aquarian moons were in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligned with Mars, semi-critical reviews that I wrote for The New York Times about his famed Michelin three-starred restaurant, LAuberge du Pont de Collonges on the outskirts of Lyon, set us at odds forevermore.

Part of my round-up of all of the then trois toiles in France, in which many received some negative criticism, incited stunned indignation throughout France, and the press went berserk about this unrecognized critic who gave a thumbs down to many of their most hallowed eateries. Some chefs responded to my story. Michel Gurard swore, she was never here. I would have known it. It was a claim also made by Alain Chapel of La Mere Charles. But the most memorable comment came from Bocuse, she must have a very unsatisfactory sex life.

So viral was the story, that I was invited to be on a lengthy TV talk show, Les Dossiers de L'cran, (Notebook of the Screen), set as a dinner party with a panel of diners. I insisted on being incognito and so was provided with a blond wig and a black satin eye mask and was wired for simultaneous translation. My fellow diners included Andr Daguin, one of the Troisgros brothers, Christian Millau and, if I recall correctly, an editor from the Michelin Guide, and of course, the king himself, Paul Bocuse.

Along with critiques about specific dishes and service flaws, I questioned the whole nouvelle cuisine invasion which was being celebrated by the Gault-Millau guide. I felt it was a huge mistake to denigrate classic French cuisine, for no country ever had more to lose gastronomically and I thought they were throwing out the baby with the bath water.

My biggest gripe regarding Bocuse, that I mentioned on the show, was that he was almost never in his restaurant. I felt (and feel) that when a chef is a big media star and the public is paying huge tabs they expect to see him or hereven if the chef isnt stirring the pot or flipping the crepes. I suggested that Bocuse fly a flag over his restaurant when he was there, just as Buckingham Palace does when the queen is in residence.

When the show ended and we were milling around, Bocuse approached me and tried to pull off my mask, happily to no avail.

But returning to his restaurant several times years later I much appreciated many of his famed dishes, among them the black truffle soup created for former French president Valry Giscard dEstaing, an ethereal mussel soup, the inspired salmon en croute, and many more.

About five or six years after I left the Times, I was having lunch at Balthazar in New York and Bocuse walked in with friends and was seated in the booth next to mine. I asked the captain to give him my card; my anonymity was no longer required. He came over in a flash, shaking my hands, talking a bit about the downturn in Frances culinary reputation, and saying he too thought they had gone too overboard with nouvelle cuisine. He said that he was going to open (or had opened) a series of Brasseries: Nord, Sud, lOuest and more, which all exist not only in France but in many other countries as well.

It was Andr Soltner, the great chef at his late lamented Lutce, who pointed out to me Bocuses greatest contribution. He took chefs out of the servant category. He made it an honorable, glamorous and respected profession. And so, attracted a new generation of bright, dedicated, educated young men… and women.

Given those past associations, I find that I already miss this brilliant, self-promoting culinary master. We may not always have agreed but only because we both cared so much about the same glorious subject.

Weird, right? Weird, but also very fun to dance to.

Joined by drummer Dennis Chamber and saxophone player Bob Franceschini, there’s no doubt this trio will thrill. ) 12. Johnnyswim, Minglewood Hall, Friday, March 31st, doors at 7 p.m., $20, all ages I was lucky enough to see Johnnyswim perform at Moon River Music Festival this past fall, and cannot urge you enough: do NOT miss this show. The duo (and married couple), Abner Remirez and Amanda Sudano, create breathtaking music that draws from country, singer/songwriter, and folk roots. About The Author A born and raised Memphian, Baylee Less recently returned to her roots after her four-year hiatus at the University of Maryland.
