#he’s a Taurus sun to me so I think gifts would be his first choice when he’s actively trying to pursue you

[oooohno]

*waves*

spare some thoughts of ur man of choice?

I’ve been thinking about arranged marriage haganezuka & how many of his courting acts have gone comically wrong. Getting stung by a bee because he didn’t notice it when plucking flowers for you (you never actually received the flowers he immediately dropped them when the bee attacked). Accidentally spoiling the wine he bought on one of his sword deliveries because he left the bottle out in the sun. Just silly things that make him SO angry because now that he realized that he actually likes you & is putting in an effort to woo his wife of course everything has to go wrong ❣️

SK, My Queen, my pink cult sister, my demon fucker darling. I'm so glad we're friends! I'm more than happy to be the third wheel in yours and delphi friendship 💕 I feel like I bring a certain uncertainty to your pairing and I quite like that! 😂😚☺️

NSFW in parts so minors begone! 18+ MDNI

Match up:

Diavolo Prince of the Devildom

There really was no other choice for you, I will admit I thought about Barb, but I just kept coming back to his highness. He knows just how to treat you, he's like putty in your hands, he'll give you everything you want and more... If he knows whats good for him! Baby boy would take such good care of you, he'll take you out to eat and listen to you for hours. He's goddamn obsessed. Can you blame a guy though?

Head canons for you both:

SFW:

I know you're a swiftie so imma put this out there. That song enchanted to meet you... That's literally the both of you. Except there is no wondeing who you both love. It's clearly each other.

Ok but when you first got together there was a lot of sneaking around! Escaping the castle together (as if barb doesn't know 😂 he thinks it's cute so he lets it slide for now), slipping out of HOL unnoticed is a fucking chore but you do it! Playing hooky at rad. Pulling the "Diavolo would like to see the exchange student in his office" Once you guys left the intercom on and the entire school heard you both giggling and kissing and.... Other things!

He loves to show you off, he thinks you're the most beautiful woman that has ever existed or that will ever exist. So as long as he can keep you, he'll have you by his side.

Sleep overs at the castle? Check! Sleep overs at HOL? Keep it to a minimum. The boys are jealous enough! What with you giving your heart to the prince, now he wants to encroach on family time? Nu-huh! No way! Get fucked! Fuck off! (Sorry had to put my aussie rock band reference in there.)

Does his angel face want a gift? Yeah! Great he's gonna spoil you rotten and then some. You will be completely taken care of! You don't even need to ask, he just wants to give you everything you need!

He loves to kiss you. Soft forehead kisses, cute cheek kisses, teasing neck kisses, lingering kisses on your sweet lips. He can't get enough of them. The way your body softens in his hold.

He's all about pet names for you! He called you princess, baby, chicken, honey, my love, my life, sweetheart, pretty thing, good girl.

NSFW:

Baby girl I hope you like big cock because ya boy's packing! Are you going to take it like a good girl? "S'too biig! Pleeeeaase!" "Sorry princess... Think you can take just the tip, yeah? Fuuuck you feel so good... s'tiiiight. Little more, yeah? Being so good for me. You can take it, I know you can." Yeah you're gonna take a lot more than just the tip. Don't worry, he's the king of prep. He'll make you cum on his tongue before he stretches you out on his fingers first. He only needs to force it a little bit by the time he's done.

You ever been fucked on a throne? Would you like to? That's what you whisper to him before you push him down on the thing. Well, when he lets you push him down onto the thing, good luck trying if he doesn't want to. Daddy Dia is B I G. He actually hadn't believe it or not, but I think he's going to want to make it a regular thing. He likes the way you ride him slow, he likes it even more when you're tired and he can take control. Holding you by your hips, dragging your pussy up and down his cock. Using you how he wants too.

You know how I said he likes kissing your on your lips? Yeah I meant your downstairs lips 😂 jk. But kinda serious. There is something about your taste he can't get enough of. He'll eat you out anytime anywhere so be warned. It's breakfast time, he's hungry but not for the breakfast that Barbatos has prepared. Oops you're no longer in your chair, suddenly you're lying on your back on the table with your skirt lifted and your panties being ripped off. Protesting until his mouth latches around your clit and suddenly you can't remember why you're saying no???

If you'll allow it he'll mark you anyway he can. Especially in cheeky places that are slightly visible. Places you would really have to look to notice. Like just below your ear. The back of your shoulder. Your bicep, your hips, your tummy. He also likes cumming on your face. You just look so pretty covered in his cum, eyes all wide. Mouth open, tongue out hoping to get a taste of him.

I hope you like my little head canons for you and dia, princess! Thank you so much for requesting ☺️ I love you, you're pretty perfect, did you know? 💕💕🌻

Jung  Yunho/U-Know (TVXQ)  Astrology- How he loves

A gift to a lovely friend (think late birthday gift) @zev-parrish​, i give you, your man. 

 As all astrology is meant to be fun, i will disclaim here that i cant find a birthtime, (as with most of these charts) so keep in mind not all of it will be right. this is for fun, please don’t at me lol

So, his chart is split pretty evenly between Aquarius and Sagittarius. 

both are “active” but he does have some Capricorn and Taurus to even this out some, and with a North node in Taurus he is the type to only practice deep and meaningful relationships, whether romantic of platonic

His Aquarius is Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter. 

His Sagittarius is Mars, Saturn and Uranus.

His moon and Neptune is in Capricorn., taurus (rising) and North Node

So now to decode those placements and why they matter

All the Aquarius says to me that he is forward thinking, kind of out of the box but actually a lot more intellectual than he seems at first

probably a bit out of the box thinker, kind of “So I have this CRAZY idea” and it’s JUSt crazy enough to work

Aquarians put the greater good above self, so he likely has a strong moral code that he sticks to and will speak up if people violate the rights of others,

Aquarius in Mercury tells me he is a very enthusiastic speaker, a hand talker and quite charming,

his energy radiates out and draws people in

between the sag and aquarius it’s likely he doesn’t force anyone to listen or follow, he just exists, and people are drawn in by this strong sense of self he carries. 

his spirit is likely an oasis for people

like you just know that you can be yourself because he is so nonjudgmental and thoughtful 

Aquarius Venus means he’s big on boundaries, he respects everyone, their right to their own time, and prefers things to fall into place.

in relationships, he is not the type to force time together, or demand a lot, but if time is given he will treasure that, understanding how important someone’s choice to spend their time with him would be

Mars in Sagittarius says that he is PASSIONATE and DRIVEN

if he has a goal, he will figure out how to get to that, 

with the combination of that mars and cap moon, he probably refuses to lose when it comes to competition, 

lowkey has a bit of self doubt, the Capricorn moon indicates he isn’t always sure he’s worth praise or that he can do things,

but he also wont give up, especially if he feels like other people need him to keep going. 

gains strength from those around him, 

when he gains focus on something, just stand back and watch him go, because he will succeed. 

His sagittarius Uranus suggests he will challenge authority if he thinks it impedes the forward momentum of others

a champion of the underdogs, ready to stand up for those with less strength, even if he wouldn’t do it for himself. 

The combinations of Aquarius and Sagittarius he has makes me think he is just this pure ball of passion, 

so much to do , so much to learn, such strong opinions. 

He isn’t necessarily stubborn, at least not if he respects you, but he will hold very strong morals that he sees as non negotiable.

he prefers deep friendships that make him think,

someone who challenges his thinking and keeps him sharp

he would want someone he can have deep conversations with or at the drop of a hat decide on a random adventure 

think “It’s two am and there’s a meteor shower, come outside  I have blankets and a place to watch from.” 

he’d already be outside with hot drinks and a treat, and a huge, unfathomably charming smile.  

In a relationship, this translates to the most easygoing slide into love

you’d just be the closest friends, never realizing that you were more until one day he turns to say some horrible joke and you have this oh shit moment

oh you’re in love

and he is too, and he already KNOWS you are, 

but seeing the revelation on your face would please him beyond words. 

 kind of like he was waiting for you to figure it out. 

he’d just slide an arm around you and kiss your forehead. 

seems the type to be affectionate in the most sugary sweet ways?

almost innocently 

brushing the hair from your face or tracing the tip of your nose with his finger

giggles and secretive smiles, the type to be so INNATELY PROUD that you are his,

i dont think he would be egotistical, or think much about his own looks or that of others

he is looking for a soul connection and yearns for that deep earth shattering closeness that doesn’t even need words

the type build over time and attention

probably pays close attention to your smallest concerns and wishes, 

secretly plans to make them all happen for you

would be so loyal and unshakably single minded in a relationship

it would be impossible to turn his head once his heart made a choice

people often think Aquarians fear  commitment but that’s not true, they just don’t want to commit until the strength of a bond is undeniable.

he wants to feel so understood by another that he knows that they are on his side no matter what. 

wow that’s soooooo

probably very into traditional cute relationship things. loves to savor the sweetness of new love. 

hand holding would probably make him  feel so ?? loved??

that would turn to longer embraces 

something tells me he’s the kiss the back of the hand type

that’s just a haunch. 

just so connected and  loyal, a wholesome lover.

18+ below, we gettin 

SP I C Y 

yikes, big YIKES

alright so HERE’S THE THING

Aquarians are very altruistic and compassionate in life.....

and very passionate and adventurous in bed...

Sagittarius are LIKEWISE very  up for anything

I don’t actually see him as particularly *dominant* or submissive

He just seems like a very sensual and high passion lover

what? Is? gentle?

this man is going to play with sensation and pressures in different ways

very giving, and very proud of what he can do

remember driven, competitive and caring?

that translates to varied and sometimes risky encounters

maybe public play?

“Let’s see how fast you fall apart for me before someone comes.”

and you’ll come before anyone else does, he will be sure of it,

Oh, you’re too loud?

the type to stick his finger in your mouth while he fucks you against a wall, maintaining eye contact with a smirk and a raised brow. 

 that’s.. oof

remember how his mercury is also Aquarius? and I said that means a good communicator?

that translates here too. 

praise kink probably goes both ways,

loves the sensuality of your words whispered into his skin just as much as he likes to do the same to you

to be honest Venusian Aquarius is the least jealous and most likely to be down for polyamory or just .. including someone else in play

he doesn’t feel insecure in these situations, as i stated if he is in a relationship he craves emotional intimacy and connection, so he already knows his worth and someone else being there sexually wouldn’t faze him

Sagittarius mars means he really likes to feel as much the center of your desire as you are his,

talk pretty to him and he will make you forget every name except his

the type to leave a trail of bites and kisses across your skin, blossoms of purple and blue that he takes pride in

not in a possessive way, in an intimate way that shows how you trust each other

also down to destroy your pelvis, 

probably likes to try new positions, 

almost definitely likes you on top where he can talk you through your movements and splay your hands on his chest, one controlling hand around your throat with just enough pressure to keep you from collapsing against him

just enough to  make you grind into him with desperation,

wanting to see you fall apart for him in the most beautiful way

alternates between deep gazes into your eyes as you call his name , intimate and so filled with love that he wants to immortalize the moment

....and the most rushed, passion induced “i have to have you now” fucks

dirty raw and emotional , he likely doesn’t have flings.

even the fastest most rushed encounter is so filled with what he carries in  his heart that you never doubt his devotion. 

Aftercare is probably giving you something to clean up with while he tucks you against his body and breathes in your scent, 

content to make you happy, content to feel you close

seems like a round two after a nap kinda guy, so I hope you have stamina 

just a really intimate lover that wants to feel you inside his heart while he’s inside you. 

a two hearts beat as one, sort of lover. 

I hope you liked it dear !!!

requests are currently closed while I catch up, but you can ask me if I have  a certain Idol on the list and I will let you know!

SVT as Boyfriends - Jun

this reading is more geared towards their habits in relationships and romance! as opposed to their ideal type readings, this has more to do with how they express love, what their preferences/comfort levels are, and what to expect in domesticity and intimacy with them. i also used “you” instead of “s/o” because writing s/o over and over was getting tiring lol. 

i mentioned this in his chart first impressions, but jun has such a young chart. 

he is SO earnest in love and affection. 

he’s not afraid of intimacy because he has no shame in those emotions and the ways he expresses them. 

experiencing those emotions and then expressing them is a very immediate chain reaction for him. 

with that being said, his attention is pretty hard to maintain and he doesn’t particularly like the feeling of “plunging” in terms of emotions, so there’s a sense he may want to gloss over the more intense details/nuances of discussions and moments. 

he’ll probably try and laugh it off and distract you if you try and have an elongated heart-to-heart. 

with that being said, his taurus mercury and mars are incredibly loyal and committed so that intensity is going to show up in times where you need him. 

you’ll understand how invested he is when you’re in need of affection, support, feedback, etc. etc. 

he’s so enduring in that sense, to the point where you will never once doubt whether or not you have someone to fall back on. 

i’ve found that gemini placements, regardless of where those exact placements are, thrive in light environments. 

he’s a very lively and cheerful boyfriend, and is going to thrive if he can be his unadulterated playful self in relationships.

not only that, but you can really rely on there being a playful set point with him. 

regardless of how serious conversations/situations get, or how serious the relationship is -- he’s always going to want to maintain an environment where jokes can always be exchanged. 

i think he’d be really bummed by and resentful of a relationship where humor couldn’t be used to make light of situations.

this is primarily because these gemini placements are quick to feel bogged down if things get too heavy, too often, and with no relief. 

but also because he’s a very communicable/excitable/distractible guy.

he wants to be able to direct his attention wherever, and to drive conversations with you in any direction you guys so please without fear of that being interpreted as impersonal or insensitive of him. 

he loves the feeling of intellectual discovery and expansion with his partner

and so discussion, curiosity, and imagination are going to be very important influences on his interactions.

and so while there is a part of him that’s certainly very reliable in relationships thanks to those taurus placements, he needs that kind of comic relief so he can maintain a feeling of freedom/openness that geminis rely on to navigate.

and this just goes with the fact he’s such a cheerful, optimistic guy! 

especially in relationships, this guy is going to be such a lively conversationalist. 

he’s an interesting partner to experience things with as his reactions are so funny, dramatic, and his mind is so all over the place that you’d simply want to know what he noticed/didn’t notice. 

expect CONSTANT jokes. 

a lot of back and forth. 

plan to join him on the most random paths of interest, may it be voicing over spongebob clips or making hotdogs with him on his new rotisserie hot dog machine. 

his aries moon is an interesting influence in relationships. 

he’s very excitable, but associating this fiery sign with the moon gives him these incredible bursts of energy. 

he’s going to express himself very physically, may it be through affection or some good-natured teasing. 

there is a great desire for action in life and relationships, and this is where you just get the most left-of-field bursts of energy and obsessions. 

then you throw in those taurus placements that aren’t very concerned with what other people are doing as they’re super stubborn in their methods and wants. 

he’s going to be as weird as he wants, when he wants and would love if you joined him or at least humored him. 

he doesn’t have a whole lot of significant aspects that are going to be related to relationships, but he does have this moon square jupiter. 

his aries moon is already super all-or-nothing, and generally doesn’t understand moderation -- especially with regard to emotions and relationships. 

but this square aspect with jupiter not only expands his emotional responses, but creates a confusion with them in a lot of different ways. 

he’s got a bleeding heart in this sense which makes him quick to express his love and appreciation, and with that he’s very quick to demand affection as well. 

he also doesn’t really understand his own strength with intensity/enthusiasm.

expect just random “PLEASE HOLD ME” moments. 

this may also make him hard to please and VERY needy, but it’s also super endearing so, ya know. 

you win some you lose some. 

this placement also creates a great deal of vulnerability. 

he’s incredibly eager to give more than what he can afford in terms of emotional bandwidth, and this also creates a disillusion in how to get his own emotional needs met in turn. 

he can kind of feel like he’s only losing, and that he’s grasping at straws in order to feel a sense of satisfaction on his end. 

this also makes him INCREDIBLY dramatic in expressing himself, so certainly expect to have to coddle and care for whiny/adorably overbearing jun when he decides to come out. 

but in all seriousness, it’s important that he’s reminded that he needs to put himself first some times and that it’s okay to be a bit stingy in attention if he needs to be.

it’s also good to encourage him to be more discerning with who he offers this side to. 

what’s super interesting is that both of his gemini placements are conjunct in his sun and venus, and his taurus placements are conjunct in mercury and mars. 

because of that you may notice that there are two modes to him that flip flop. 

he’s very gemini in how he intrinsically is by himself and in relationships, but there’s that taurus influence that makes him very secure underneath it all and how he communicates this part of himself.

there’s that one one side where he’s excitable & potentially hard to pin-down.

and another part that’s very enduring, present, and reliable. 

having his sun conjunct venus, his personality and his attitude in relationships are very much the same. 

the way to woo him is very similar to how it’d be if you tried to befriend him, and that’d be to just make him laugh and keep him interested. 

intellect is going to be a huge contributing factor to romance for him, so he’s going to express his love in words and would want the same in return. 

on top of that, communication is something he constantly needs. 

not only does he like feeling that energy around him, but communication is how he determines how present you are regardless of how serious the conversation is. 

your receptiveness to jokes/ideas/anecdotes is INCREDIBLY important to him as it grounds him. 

it should be said that gemini venus’ have a pretty bad rep in that they have the potential of being pretty flighty, and easily bored in relationships. 

with that being said, going back to my prior point about having to maintain a kind of playful baseline is going to be what manages to reel in a gemini venus. 

they just have such active minds that, when it comes to relationships, they really struggle if they’re being forced to work against that nature that just wants to do things for the sake of doing them. 

especially with that aries moon. 

freedom is an important thing to maintain as restraints are something they avoid at all costs. 

that sounds like he’s going to be distant/impersonal, and i went into this in wonwoo’s ideal type with his gemini placements, but really it just comes down to letting love and commitment being HIS choice that makes all of the difference. 

forcing him into a corner, over-interpreting acts towards independence, and making him second guess his more impulsive habits are going to be what causes him to second guess a relationship. 

so let him do his thing, don’t be offended if he randomly just retreats and pursues his own path/adventures and understand he will always report back to check on you and update you with the weirdest anecdotes. 

you can also always expect for him to bring back weird gifts because of how delighted his gemini is of those weird trinkets, how impulsive of a buyer his aries moon is, and how his taurus placements mean he really finds a great deal of value/charm in the material. 

there’s always going to be the most endearing sense of eccentricity with him in relationships, maybe it be in oddly-timed jokes or extreme bursts of energy. 

then you have his taurus mercury and mars. 

this man is so stubborn!!! 

SO STUBBORN 

he has his comfort levels and preferred methods and wants to do things at his own pace. 

whether that’s fast or slow is totally up to him. 

taurus also adds a sense of luxury. 

he loves being lazy with his partner, spending days doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and cuddling. 

he craves establishing a sense of domesticity in relationships. 

as much as he loves the exciting highs, what really gets him to commit is that sense of home, stability, and comfort.

i can see him loving to gift stuffed animals?? 

his aries and gemini love the things that are cute and light.

but then those taurus placements deeply understand the importance of comfort with an emphasis on the material, so something like a stuffed animal that he could give you that would make you smile and give you comfort when he could not??? he’d love that??? 

not only that but with taurus in his mars, he loves the idea of gifts as physical representations of his devotion 

and so finding the cutest little friend you can sleep with and keep in your room would make him so happy. 

when it comes to intimacy, taurus placements are known as some of the most romantic placements -- especially in mars.

he has a very slow-burning approach to love and intimacy. 

he wants to enjoy your presence, be in the moment, and let affection naturally flow. 

he’s leisurely about these things, and with that you have this benefit in that he’s incredibly present in those moments. 

with the other earth signs, you kind of have the sense that they are looking elsewhere or that they’re attention is too broad. 

you have capricorn that is constantly looking to be resourceful/proactive, and then virgo who is constantly trying to sort/mediate energies. 

but then taurus that is just straight up CHILLING. 

and this is partially because the senses are super important to them. 

and so being able to experience the full spectrum of those senses is something he both craves and strives for. 

being able to remove his intellect forward part of his brain and focus on the purely physical is something that feeds his romantic heart. 

he’s just a sweet guy.

i think it’s so funny because he’s this strong mix of TWO OF THE HIGHEST ENERGY SIGNS in gemini/aries, and then one of the signs thats known for BEING THE SLOWEST in taurus. 

he wants to do things at his own pace and is probably SUPER slow to get into a relationship and to get to that super intimate point with someone. 

friendship is super easy with him and he almost collects friends, but that taurus love is something that’s super coveted in him. 

not only is it hard to retain his gemini focus, but his taurus can be -- in the nicest way possible -- dense about these things simply due to how literal they can be. 

but once he’s there he’s THERE. 

he’s so dedicated and generous. 

and circling back to the youth in his chart, if fun is maintained, he’s not once going to question the relationship. 

if his basic needs for freedom, fun, and security are met -- you’ll find his distractible gemini will give way to the parts of his chart through aries and taurus that want to be all-giving & all-consumed in love.

story time.

At the bright-eyed age of thirteen, or fourteen, I knew everything—except all those things I didn’t know, but those things could fuck off. It was two days before I started high school and me and my brother—who is three years older—wanted to end the summer with some good ol’ fashion mischief. If you’ve read any of my stories, you know this can’t end well, and honestly—at the time—we probably both low-key knew it, too.

“We’ll borrow The Van,” one, or both, of us say—neither of us will admit to being the one who suggested it, but the proof is in the pudding—one of us did.

Now you might’ve noticed that The Van had capital letters involved—believe me, even verbally you can tell they’re capitalized. It was a 1990 Dodge Ram van that was blue, but not just normal blue—some fucked up SeaWorld pale blue mess. But it’s fucked up colors aside, that isn’t what made it special. No, what made it special was the custom made front grill that curved up partially over the hood—polished metal and blue fiberglass, with foot high letters spelling out “Sweet Revenge”.

Now, this wasn’t some murder van, though it easily could’ve been turned into one—it was my mother’s gift to herself after her divorce from my father. He never allowed her to get one, despite him buying fuck all what he wanted, so—with some of the settlement money? Got herself this big fuck-all van. And named it Sweet Revenge.

It’s something like fourteen years old at this point and barely runs—our family really only uses it to travel long distances; like driving to Tennessee and blowing two pairs of brakes because my grandfather didn’t know he wasn’t supposed to cruise on brakes going down a mountain, which ended up with us eating lunch in a garage that also had a startling amount of chickens.

But that’s another story.

We eat dinner, and then promptly yawn and tell our mother how absolutely tuckered we both are, and that we simply must go to bed. She’s suspicious—after all, she knows her children are both crafty, and stupid, but she doesn’t know what to expect.

I palm the keys in both hands because there’s a ridiculous amount of keychains on them—including a large brick block that spelled out my name. And then I wait—for an indeterminate amount of time, because we didn’t really plan how to go about “borrowing” my mother’s car. A half-hour, maybe forty minutes, later I climb out my window. Now, it’s a choice of dangers—there’s a metal ladder just outside my window that goes up to the roof, but it is filled—completely—with bees.

I opt to jump the 10+ feet to the ground, twisting my ankle which—to this day, until this moment—I have never admitted to. I tell my brother, who’s looking at my limp oddly, that I’m “trying something new” and never extrapolate.

We jump in The Van and drive off—headlights off, low RPM—some real James Bond shit. If James Bond was two stupid white kids in a backwater suburb in New York pulling the most polite of grand theft autos. We cruise around for a while, and then go to the local hang out, all the half-drunk stoners marvel at our crime, lauding us with delights such as the illustrious PBR and Los Generalos.

It’s getting late, so I call my—then—best friend Victoria and ask her if she wants to casually break laws with us. Mind you, I’m thirteen—or fourteen—and my seventeen year old brother hasn’t even gotten a permit yet. She, of course, says “absolutely” so we head over to pick her up. Driving down into a community center parking lot that was really very illuminated—so we had no excuse. All the street lights didn’t stop us from hitting an island in the middle of the parking lot at 40 miles an hour and blowing out our front passenger tire.

Now, this is the moment when most children—even the stupid ones—would hedge their bets, call their parents and try to make it to adulthood alive. But seeing as how we are especially stupid, we decide we’re going to drive home on the flat tire—it’s five miles, easily, and entirely uphill. It’s probably about midnight, maybe a little later, and we’re driving five miles an hour uphill on backroads. The shredded wheel is getting louder, and the vibration worse—but we keep going.

We’re committed.

Eventually we get back home, we park The Van back into its spot—a very obscured spot that made it hard to see the busted tire. We get out, listening to see if we can hear anyone awake—and after a few minutes we determine that we’ve gotten away with it. Cue high fives, and very quiet whoops of joy. And then one of us—neither of us admit to being this person—says, “let’s take the Taurus.”

My mother’s 2002 Ford Taurus, which she’d gotten when her last car was absolutely crushed by a tree. I crawl back through my bedroom window and go through the house pretending to have just woken up. Returning The Van keys, and swapping them for the Taurus keys. It’s easier than I want to admit. Meeting my brother back outside, we go driving again—we pick up my best friend, we pick up his best friend, and then decide to get one more person—I can’t remember who, I think it was my best friend’s cousin that she thought was hot.

Regardless, we’re driving something like a half hour away from home when it happens—my brother takes a turn a little too wide, and we hit another car head on. Clipping front corner panels both cars spin out and we slam nose first into a stone wall. I remember headlights, and pain, and someone screaming—and then dread. We crawl out the passenger window—my window—and just stand there.

“We’re fucking dead,” I say with absolute certainty.

My best friend went sprinting off into the darkness, she couldn’t get caught—her ultra-Christian family had already banned Harry Potter, who knew what could be next. Me and my brother were left there wallowing in our soon to be immediate deaths. The police have arrived and the opposite car seems to be filled with a simply impossible amount of people—ten, easily—and they’re asking us what happened, how this happened.

We get wrangled into some squad cars and brought to the police station where they make the phone call. They ring up our mother, who isn’t expecting such a call—after all, her dear sweet stupid children are in their beds sleeping, because they clearly could not be that stupid.

Oh, they are.

I try pleading with the officer—he’s young, obviously a rookie on the graveyard shift—and he’s determined to do this by the book. He calls our mother and tells her everything—I can’t hear anything, maybe one “mhm” but that’s it, and then he hangs up. “She’s on her way down.”

We’re dead. Absolutely dead.

The bonus to all this is that my grandfather—he was a pretty big deal with the police—called his old partner who just happened to be the Chief of Police for this particular city. This poor rookie cop had to deal with the Chief of Police coming in to babysit two delinquent children while we all waited for my mother to come pick us up. Uncle Vinny terrorized this poor officer; though genuinely, he probably should have brought us to an emergency room.

He did get me apple juice from the precinct fridge.

Now, I wish I could tell you what exactly transpired after that—but it’s all a blur. All I can remember is sitting in the backseat beside my brother as the sun began to rise. We were heading to the emergency room because of my cut up hand and head wound; my mother wouldn’t look at either of us, but I distinctly remember her saying, “I suggest you don’t do anything fun for a very long time.”

And that’s how we broke two of my mother’s cars in one night.

(Thought she didn’t know The Van was us until six or seven years later.)

[lordsicheng]

your interpretation of daniel's personal planets was really good!! if it's fine, would you mind looking into baejin's and minhyun's? :)

hi! thank you so much ♥ and alright this took me 4 hours but i hope i made it well for you to understand it nicely! :)

p.s: there is a rated part for minhyun so if you don’t want to read it, please skip it!! 

Bae Jinyoung

Taurus Sun, Leo Moon

let’s dabble on first with his sunsign

born under the sun sign of Taurus,Jinyoung is a practical and realist type of fellow

his grounded nature (earth sign)shows how capable he is of being very reliableand honest

ambitious!!

independent and patient,this truly shows through his experience with Produce 101—he was ranked F in thebeginning, but fortunately because of his will to work hard he has shown much growth and maturity as the show went onand became one of the top 11

his persistent personality was what drove him to become who he is nowand we all can see that he is maturing very well ♥

i could go on with how much i lovethis placement of his tbh

very charming!

somewhat has a very unique sense of humor. I’ll dabble onthat more with his mercury sign, but remember when he was in happy togetherroasting his hyungs? :^)

now, the cons

he can be stubborn and lazy, avery common trait among Taurus placements

can be materialistic, but veryfrugal as well for Taurus is very connected to their possessions

however, as I said Taurus is anearth sign, he will always keep track of his actions in a leveled manner andwill always show that he is even-minded

now, to his fiery Leo moon

one of the most generous people!!!!

spreads warmth and enthusiasmtowards people around him

however, with that, he would also crave lots of attention from others

but with the help of his sun sign,he knows his limits on this and will always stay true to his humble roots

now, with this combination, we geta very interesting but grounded individual within Jinyoung

the type to be there and listen toyour problems while giving realisticadvice

both signs are fixed, so when Isaid he can be stubborn can be

he gives utmost respect to anyonehe meets, as long as they are also treating him the same

Overall with this sun and mooncombo, I would say Jinyoung is one ofthe most warmhearted individuals out there who will always look out for youand be your cheerleader with hisendless amounts of support!

Mercury in Taurus

I haven’t actually dabbled intopeople with Taurus mercuries because I have never met one but I will take thiswith some knowledge I have from his sun sign

Let’s start with a little bit of acon here because this is what I have personally observed, but Taurus mercuriansare quite indecisive and will take time to come with a decision

My own understanding is becausewhen they were to decide on something, let’s say, crucial for the long term, hewould want to come to a decision that isstagnant and firm so that hewould not worry about changing his decisions after

this can be heightened a lot withhis sun and moon combo, as it would make him stubborn in making decisions as well

but with that bit, it doesn’t meanJinyoung is spoiled and unnerving of those around him

he just have a good common sense, where he wants to be sure of what he will speakabout that is in his mind

now, Taurus mercurians are humorous and this can come off in a sarcastic manner at times

he won’t be afraid to show hissarcastic side especially if you’re very close

a very pleasant, calming voice

Now, let’s go to a very positivenote

they love peace and harmony, theyare never the types to start an argumentunless tested

remember, Taurus’ sign is of abull—therefore if you try to test him in any way then it would not end well,especially if his mars is also a fixed sign

I will dive deep into that laterwhen I get to the mars sign as this can also heighten how he is when he isangry

has a romantic and charming flairwhen he speaks that becomes magnetic to those who are attracted to his sense ofhumor and ways of speaking his mind

realistic thoughts and opinions, but doesn’t mean he doesn’t dreamand imagine as well

it is mainly because of hisearth-filled placements, he chooses to think of what were to actually happenrather than what were supposed to happen

straightforward, naturally humorous and can have a sharp tongue

honestly, Taurus mercurians areone of the most reliable as well asthey are able to give out an opinion in a fair manner that benefits both sides

Venus in Taurus

wow, even his venus is in Taurus!

his aura exudes that of a Taurus beauty:refined aesthetics of a lover of nature

this heightens it much as Taurus’planet ruler is also Venus, along with Libra

they find much excitement and relaxation in the beauty ofnature itself

ever wonder why Jinyoung has sometype of aesthetic going on with hisaura and looks? here is your answer

loves being one with nature, likegoing to parks and so. possibly enjoys gardening too

very loyal and affectionate,will commit for the long term if youare just as loyal to him

loves wholeheartedly and sincerely

the type to not be afraid to shower you with gifts tbh that’sdefinitely one of the things he will do so much for his future partner

now, considering that we aretalking about attraction let’s go into that a bit

I find that he is attracted to veryfeminine types that have this some sortof “natural” beauty in them

no, I am not judging this in a waywhere plastic surgery is a no no for him because that is our own personalchoices okay

but rather, he might want someonewho has honest opinions and shows beauty in a very natural way,like the way they speak, move, etc

someone who lies often is a huge turn off for him

someone who is too much of ashow-off is also a turn off to him

can be a tiny bit possessive

again, since Taurus = bull

Actions speaks louder than words for him so expect this if he istrying to win your heart

Will suddenly hug you, shower youwith gifts, be somewhat very shy but eager to hold your hand if he were toconfess

Has a strong sense of responsibility for his future partner and will protect you at all costs

honestly whoever catches Jinyoung’sheart will be a very lucky person so pls take care of my sON!!!!

Mars in Gemini

Wew, now this is a pretty coolplacement for me

Gemini is one of the mosttalkative signs, or if not, the most talkative sign

He loves to express his emotions and opinions vocally, but again, in amore refined and grounded mannerwith the help of his Taurus mercury

Definitely one of the best in arguments and won’t back down until he gets thelast word

Can be misunderstood as flirtatious when it comes to his words as well

When it comes to his work ethic,it can be a bit of a hassle to him if he has to make decisions on his own(heightened by his mercury again) since hecan possibly get bored easily when doing a project or if it is too repetitive

Not saying he is very lazy, just lazy really but his drive to work hardcan be pretty much different from others who also the share the same Mars signas him as he also has positive aspects to other planets with his Mars

Very adaptable of all sorts so he can get into different types of workstbh may it be through acting, modeling, etc.

Often rebellious and again, indecisive

from my own understanding he isthe type to be very careful on hisdecisions as he does not want to make himself bored with what he choosesthan he already is

now, his anger

very, very cold anger

when he becomes angry, it willtotally show through his expressions, especially his eyes

don’t ever try to force him into coming into a decision immediately

his stubbornness will heightenmuch of this and this would end up to him getting into a verbal argument

will come out with an argumentthat shows his scathing wit

I’m not saying he won’t toleratebullshit, but he totally won’t toleratebullshit

I personally think he can ease hisemotions of anger if he is talked down properly

just don’t try hurting his ego andlet him know what your real purpose was as with his Taurus placements, he justwants everything to be fair and aswell as real

Hwang Minhyun

Sun in Leo,  Moon in Capricorn

born under the sign or Leo, he wastotally born to be a star

with much perseverance and driveto become on top

very generous and loyal, nowonder he definitely cried when he was in the top 11 instead of his othermembers, as he wanted to get in and as well have his other members in too

protective!!!  especially toanyone he is close to

has a sense of powerful leadership in them

also, he handles criticism very well and makes it as a means of improvementfor the future

there is also a sense of royalty in them 

LOVES KIDS

strikingly honest and does not like tolie. if he were to lie, it’d be written all over his face lol

very supportive of those around him and will always be a helpinghand whenever someone needs it

however, they can sometimes becomea little bit coldhearted and easily jealous

Leos love the spotlight, and will grab the spotlight when they want andwant to have it their way one or another

takes pride on their values, talents, and beliefs

however, don’t try andmisunderstand this because as much as he wants all the attention, doesn’t meanhe wants it alone

his generous nature also becomesof great trait for this as he loves being able to cheer for anyone he is closeto and will always be there for them as a means of support

now, to his moon

having a Capricorn moon, many seemto think he is quite coldhearted or not sympathetic enough

but honestly, he is very sympathetic emotionally but ratherstays on his lane of emotions to not worry others than he already is withhimself

it also shows that he had to havea sense of responsibility at an early age as he was capable enough to have the maturity similar of those older than him

Capricorn is an earth sign, so hedeals with his emotions in a verygrounded matter but again he prefersto not bother anyone else of it

again, remember when he cried whenhe got into the top 11 to debut with Wanna One instead of his other members andwhen asked why he cried he was a tiny bit aloof?

his Capricorn moon was showing, ngl

and let me tell you, most Capricorn moons do not cry easilyunless they are truly hurt

this is because as much as he wasvery overwhelmed and happy about getting into the top 11, he was also veryupset that his other members from Nu’est, which I will remind you all that hehas spent several years with together, did not get in

apart from what we had seen in thevideos, the fact that he cried was a sign that he was truly and deeply hurt that he could not share his happiness ofbeing able to debut as Wanna One with people he has considered his brothers

some would say people withCapricorn moons, especially men, have stable emotions

they can come out as cold, yes,but this is only because they do notwant their emotions to be judged

they want proper assurance and security if they want to open up to anyone andit will take time, for sure

but if a Capricorn moon is able toshare emotions with you, then they will consider you as someone they truly trust and be loyal to

okay, now with this combo it canbe slightly conflicting

some people would say Minhyunshows an often cold and emotionless aura (lol the pd101 memes pls)

but let me tell you, he does feel,he just doesn’t want to look toooverwhelmed

I just have a tiny feeling that hedraws back on his emotions (Capricorn moon) to not be too much of an nuisanceto others with his Leo sun

Yes, he is an energetic individual (no pun intended), he just has the maturity of someone who thinks in a veryorderly manner

Overall, I’d say he is a verystrong-willed individual who strives hard to achieve his wants and needs

He’d be the friend you can rely onwhen you need someone for support and have intellectual conversations with

Mercury in Leo

okay so in this bit, I’m a littlebit shocked lol but in a good way of course

Minhyun, in this case, speaks withproper maturity in his words andeloquence

can come across as a know-it-all sometimes but when he speaks of acertain topic he definitely knows whathe is talking about

remember, Leo is ruled by the sun

so he speaks with manners and warmth to not try and test anyone who opposeshis own opinions

he is idealistic and attached tohis values and beliefs

passionate with that they believe in and will always communicatethis in an ardent manner

enthusiastic and fervent withtheir words, they always know how todifferentiate the rights from the wrongs

this also shows that he can comeup with great creativity whenspeaking

from my own personal point ofview, Leo mercuries have very beautifuland melodic voices

they present themselves as who they are as they are one of themost honest signs, but can be a littlebit too dramatic when overwhelmed by the reactions of others

can sometimes be mentally arrogant, where he takes prideof his opinions rather than listening to others’ own

if you are somewhat wondering ifthis is similar to close-mindedness, then don’t worry as it is always mistakenas such and this is not the case

by all means, Minhyun is not close-minded but rather sticks to his own routines and values ashe thinks he might not be able to adapt to a new environment very well

Leo is a fixed sign, it can take time for fixed signs to adaptinto new environments especially when placed in personal planets

however, this only means that he speaks forthe betterment and for what he believes is right from what he haslearned

don’t try to hurt is ego, though. I’llgo on with this with his mars sign later

but to put this in a more lightnote, he does have an expressive mindand is very eloquent in speaking

I see him as someone who is also alover of justice, he does not like totake matters into arguments. I will also discuss about that with his mars sign

and with a soothing and pleasingtone of voice, he truly is one of a kind

Venus in Leo

okay, let me tell you one thing: ILove Leo Venuses

very honest with their feelings and won’t draw back from what theytruly feel

often naive though, but let me tell you they are very, very loyal

possibly one of the most loyalvenus placements tbh

I’ve gotten a couple of questionson why he is dubbed as a motae solo (onewho has not been in a relationship before)

okay, I want to believe that he isbut what I won’t believe is that he hasnever fallen in love before

his Capricorn moon heightens this,as like I said above, they can have a hard time showing his emotions

it makes him draw back from everconfessing to someone they have had feelings for even for the longest time

now you would ask, would he likethe type of person who would make him scream his confession of love to them?

YES

he wants to a partner who is independent and not afraid to take any challenges

possibly might like someone similar to him tbh

because Minhyun is a more maturetype of individual, he would truly find comfort with someone who has some sortof childlike aura and/or personalityto them that can bring out his inner child as well

give him the attention he needs

he wants to be adored, admired and loved

will probably fall in love withyour compliments and appreciation of his overall personality

ever wonder why he stares deeplyinto fans’ eyes and holds their hands tightly during fansigns?

a lover of bold gestures, I tell you

extra af

his words (w/ the help of his Leomercury) can truly make you get swept off of your feet

he wants to have an emotional and physical understanding withhis future partner where he gets to show them how much he really loves them

also often dramatic with their actions so this explains thehandholding and eye staring lol but really, he truly and deeply appreciates hisfans

will lose so much confidence if he ever gets rejected :(

like I said, Leos are very loyal, so it would definitely taketime for them to get over someone they truly had feelings for and if rejected,they’d be very low about it

attracted to beauty in all forms!

also know that Leo rules theheart, so he truly gives love as much ashe can!

I won’t be talking much about howhe is in bed here but rather w/ his Mars sign as it can be quite similar

Either way, want a boyfriend whois your #1 supporter and who isn’t afraid to show you all the loveand affection he has for you? get yourself a Hwang Minhyun, sweetie !

Mars in Libra

I did not expect this at all toobecause wow, he truly is an intellectual !

with a mars under the sign ofLibra, he is a man who values justiceand orderliness

Very, very considerate of other people’s needs

this can be a bit of a conflictwith his moon sign, but remember that this can go either way so it would dependon how close you both are

will not tolerate rude behavior and disrespect, whether it is to him or other people

people with mars in libra ingeneral do not like conflict at all

Libra is a sign of balance, so if he were to get into an argumentin any way he will find a way to find utmost balance for both him and anyone heends up clashing with

diplomatic and considerate.possibly indecisive as well (libra is an air sign, hello)

now procrastination isn’t usualfor him but if he does procrastinate, it is only because he wants to weigh inoptions that he has before choosing one final decision

also has a charming flair like Jinyoung, but his is more of a way of wantingto get out of an argument or when he wants to prove a point

totally has a good sense of memory, would likely know about this and that as longas it is informative

if he were to get angry, it is forwhen there is definitely something iswrong or for a logical reason

the types to not get angry easily and not fazed as much

when he witnesses an argument oris caught in the middle of one he would very likely not entertain it as he doesnot like the idea of fighting at all

he only wants to be fair and kindas he can okay

as for attraction, in addition tohis venus sign, he is attracted to someone who has good manners with pleasing and balanced appearance

for short, someone very feminine with a flair of spice in them(leo placements)

would totally go for someone whois very romantic

would do anything to please their partner as Libras love toplease

however, with his venus sign, he’slikely a dom who also is a switchfrom time to time

worships you and your body for days!!!

again, wants everything to be equal so you both have to be pleased equallyfor him to be satisfied

Truly a man who knows what hewants but is also appreciative and respectful of others’ (especially hispartner’s) wants!

disclaimer: I am not very knowledgeable yet with astrology, so my interpretation will be based off of what I have learned and researched about. It can be accurate, or inaccurate, so please take this with a grain of salt if you may! My explanations are of my own/from what I’ve read on the notes I’ve saved on my main account as well

I will remind everyone that you are more than your sun/zodiac sign.

So if you, for example, were born under the zodiac of Aries but you feel like you don’t fit the description, I suggest checking out your natal chart (astro.com is where it’s at folks) if you may. It’s very interesting, and you can totally google off meanings of your sun/moon/venus and more.

Also, because we don’t have their birth time, their ascendant can’t be determined + his moon sign may be different because moon signs differ from time to time in a day and is the most movable/kinetic planet in the zodiac so it changes very easily.

Before you bash me about your faves being this way, please understand that we’re all different lol there are pros and cons in signs so how you want it to be interpreted is of your own opinion. this is only general information and may or may not be 100% accurate, like i said .

overall i find the two of them very similar, but also different in a few ways. if you’re wondering about their closeness, i see that Jinyoung has his moon as Minhyun’s sun and that definitely says a thing along with other aspects :) such a cute father-son relationship!! ♥

[canigetuhhhhsomenerdyshit]

imma try and ask you to answer all questions? Or like at least five of your choice because all of them are interesting

 God, I love you. Thank you for this. I answered all the ones I hadn’t already.1. Do you prefer writing with black or blue pen? Black2. Would you prefer to live in the country or the city? The city; the country is beautiful and I love the sunrise, but the bugs…I have a phobia of ticks and I would NOT survive out there.3. If you could learn a new skill, what would it be? Piloting a plane, for sure. Its on my bucket list.4. Do you drink your tea or coffee with sugar? Tea, sometimes, coffee, always. I’ve been told that I’ve only ever had bad coffee if I need sugar to drink it, but goddammit, I’m just addicted to sugar.5. What was your favourite book as a child? Really liked the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but also the Mortal Instruments and other teeny bopper novels.6. Do you prefer baths or showers? Love baths, but only once in a while, as a bittersweet treat. Definitely prefer showers.7. If you could be a mythical creature, which would you choose? MERMAID. MERMAIDMERMAIDMERMAID8. Do you prefer reading paper or electronic books? Paper. It’s less convenient, but there’s nothing else like it.9. What is your favourite item of clothing? Actually, it’s a tie between two of my dresses. One of them was $10 at the family dollar, and the other was clearanced at Target!11. Who is a mentor to you? My dad, hands down.12. Would you ever want to be famous? If so, what for? Sure! Perhaps for writing; if my book is good enough or I write a kickass screenplay that magically gets purchased by a triple A Hollywood studio, I get it made into a movie, then I can make sure Josh Brolin is cast in it…and Adam Driver…and Rami Malek…and Ilana Glazer…and all the other actors I have crushes on that I can’t currently remember right now…13. Are you a restless sleeper? Very sound one, actually. 15. Which element best represents you? I want to think water or earth. Or, alternatively, iron or magnesium.16. Who do you want to be closer to? Everybody! Specifically, a few of my coworkers, a couple of my friends, plenty of my family friends.17. Do you miss someone at the moment? Ironically, my roommate. Even though there’s been so much strife in our apartment lately due to the people she’s been seeing, I don’t blame her, and I miss her because of it. We live together but its been months since we really hung out the way I wish we could. It’s partially my fault, of course, but we won’t get into that.18. Tell us about an early childhood memory. I’m a writer, you should know better than to tell a story. It’s not a specific one, but a common one. Waking up, the sun shining through my window, getting up at my leisure, coming downstairs, and seeing my dad making pancakes in the kitchen. Our griddle was excessively smoky, so it was always hazier and the beams of sunlight were more visible. It smelled like batter and smoke and summer. I was always the first one up after my dad, so I’d help set the table, get all the syrup and butter set out. Then he’d wake up my sister, and I’d wake up my mom, and we’d all sit down for a nice breakfast together. He used a little bit of vanilla in his recipe, so the pancakes would taste a little extra cake like. I miss that shit; I’m excited to move away from this city, so that when I have to come back home for the holidays, I can stay with my parents, and come downstairs to them making food again.20. What can you see outside your bedroom window? A courtyard/garden, and an alley. 21. What are you most thankful for? My family, and myself.22. Do you like spicy food? YESSS I love it!!!23. Have you ever met someone famous? I met Grizz from 30 Rock, does that count? I also met a few YouTubers, but their famousness is more subjective than a tv star’s.24. Do you keep a diary or journal? A few, scattered around. I snapchat myself like a diary, I do free association diaries on an old Google account, I have a private Instagram where I post updates on my personal life. Depends on which details I want to share, where. Nothing physical, though.25. Do you prefer to use pen or pencil? I hate to choose between the two; pen is so permanent, distinct, but pencil is good for the ideas you aren’t sure about yet. I carry both with me at all times.26. What is your star sign? I’m a Sagittarius sun (Taurus moon, Libra ascendant, if you care about those things)27. Do you like your cereal crunchy or soggy? CRUNCHY! I don’t give a shit if Cap’n Crunch shreds the roof of my mouth, the CRUNCH is what I need28. What would you want your legacy to be? I want to be the best friggin Hufflepuff I can be, tbh29. Do you like reading? What was the last thing you read? I love it, but I usually only end up doing it on vacations. The last book I read was ‘IT’, months ago, but the last thing I read was probably fanfiction (maybe even my own, lmao, I love rereading and learning from my past writing choices).30. How do you show someone you love them? I’m actually tied in three ways for my top love language; I show my love any way I can, apparently. Gifts, vocal affirmations, physical touch, quality time, the whole nine yards. If I love you, you’ll know.31. Do you like ice in your drinks? Nope. Too coldy for my teethies.34. Do you address older people by their first or last name? I address people how they want to be addressed? I’m not sure how to answer this; I suppose in general I default to ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ a lot, rather than saying actual names. Displays my playful spirit and a casual but sincere respect all at once.35. If money was not a factor, how would you live your life? On the road, coming home every few months. I want to live everywhere, for a little while. On the beach, in the mountains, in the forest, the desert. I wanna go everywhere and learn everything.36. Do you prefer swimming in pools or in the ocean? Pools, but only because of my love/hate relationship with the ocean. Thing’s massive and intrigues me so much, but I know better than to fuck with it for too long.37. What would you do if you found $50 on the ground? If it had been there a while, I’d keep it. If someone had just dropped it, I’d return it. I’m probably save it, maybe put it on my student loans, who knows.38. Have you ever seen a shooting star? Did you make a wish? I have! The first one I ever ‘saw’ I made up because my sister saw one before I did and I wanted to seem cool (I was seven, I think). But the first real one I saw was in a parking lot with a friend in high school. Felt magical, made a wish. Doubt it came true; it was probably a wish for a boyfriend lmao dumbass39. What is one thing you would want to teach your children? Patience. I know it can’t be taught, but I’d try my darnedest to see if I could at least give them a little bit of mine.41. What can you hear right now? I’m listening to my songs on shuffle, and currently its my favorite band Gorillaz’s song ‘Rhinestone Eyes’. There’s a dog panting on the floor, fan running on the ceiling, the A/C is quietly humming.42. Where do you feel the safest? The house I grew up in. You can’t fuck with me there, it’s like the Asgard to my Hela, I get all my power from it.43. What is one thing you want to overcome/conquer? I want to conquer my GD writer’s block so I can write some good original shit.44. If you could travel back to any era, which would you choose? THE 80S!!!! PLEASE, let me go back to the 80s, I would’ve killed it. High waisted shorts, hi-tops, the music, the lack of internet…sounds dreamy.45. What is your most used emoji? 💕 47. How would you spend your ideal day? Go to a morning movie stoned, perhaps by myself, get some killer lunch, hangout with my family for a bit, maybe get dinner or make dinner, end the night with a smoke sesh with my girls and in bed by 10:30.49. What do you regret the most? Not getting closure with a lot of people.50. Invent your own word. What does it mean? Uhhhh……..I’ll get back to you on that one.

Wizards Within brings you Cosmic Leaping by Jan King

FULL MOON in Aries, October 13, 2019 – Transforming power

Hello Dear Ones. Welcome aboard to Cosmic Leaping. The days are getting shorter and the world is getting more insane. What else is new? .Did you know that peace is a good thing? Oh, I know it makes no money. Oops!  I saw a spider working its way down from an awning to a hedge the other afternoon. It says the reality in my life is created by me so if I do not like it dig deeper and change it.  And things are not as they seem. A ha! “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings.”. (Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass) Full Moon in Aries is just about ready to show its face and it may bring a feeling of being stuck. What can you do? Stop being entranced by the Matrix and start to take a major look within. What do you think? Are you ready to do that for a new beginning? Something came to me this morning as I opened my eyes ready to start my day. Something said stay still. I did and a whole scenario came to me and it was about astrology and how it is a basis for looking at oneself and one’s life. Many have no interest because they say it is against the Divine. In my life my mother who was a very spiritual church-goer presented me with a hardback book about astrology when I was ready to graduate from college. She said I needed to read this book so I would understand life and others who were in my life. I took the book and just went on. About 10 years later it showed up buried in a box, I opened it and my life changed. I was already seeing this but my brain was doing something else. I worked on charts with a pencil (remember them) and a notepad and proceeded with logarithms and calculations by hand. No computers back in the 80s. And my point is this. What do you know about the individual who you say you like or do not like? Did you know that by looking at a chart you can see anything about anyone? Just to give you an example—Donald Trump has his rising sign (Leo) in an anaretic degree (last degree of sign). That is fated. His Sun sign is in Gemini which means his mind is constantly working whether in a positive or negative depending on aspects to it. All those who hate him see him differently. His career is secure in Taurus. He needs no one since he is quite independent. And he will go after anything that matters to him in a concerned way. And beneath it all he has a deep knowing which he at most times he does not let out. Astrology does not lie. That is why the elite use it. A few items — Did you know that the entire human genome can be sequenced out of an MMR shot. Can that be part of what is causing AUTISM? Seattle public schools have stated there is no correct answer in math…and you are a racist if you claim that there is. Pope Francis wants to combine religion and it will be called Chrislam. Are you kidding me? How much crazier than someone asking “Why do we need 8 inch or 10 inch kitchen knives with points?” Where am I? So they shut down the power in parts of California and it isn’t because there are wildfires pending. If that is the case they could cut the tree branches away from the lines. And they are saying that Ham Radios will be outlawed. The Full Moon in Aries is upon us. And it is about bringing the harmony back into your life. Of course there are many aspects which will affect that process. The Full Moon in Aries comes in on Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 5:07pm EDT; 2:07pm PDT; 9:07pm GMT in 20 degrees 13’. The Sun is in the exact degree in Libra. The Full Moon and Sun are square to Pluto in Capricorn within minutes. The Full Moon Aries is trine to Jupiter in Sagittarius. Here we go with a conflict that can actually turn from fearing something to the betterment of your life and a new beginning. Watch for emotional confrontations as you wander through life at this time. Pluto is the transformer and at this time it will take you from the depths of your fears. Are you feeling threatened? It will bring you to a type of rebirth that will help you stand in your power. The bottomline is that you need to let things go. It is a time of rebalancing relationships and letting that passion flow. It is all about emotions which are deep so will you go with the expression of them or will you blow up and blame? Weathering more storms may be on the horizon. And any ideas that were rejected before may come to pass since Mercury in Scorpio is sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. Think before you speak. Also, Neptune in Pisces is sextile Saturn in Capricorn which talks of blurring of boundaries which in the case of the world today can indicate some kind of cover-up or it could be about changing perspectives. It is not a hard aspect so it may not be as unusual and hard as it can be. With Pluto going direct on October 3 and Saturn also in Capricorn in forward motion this may be a time that you reap what you sow for better or worse. That includes beyond the scope of the personal too including on a bigger scale. Keep that in mind dear ones. If you are looking for a civil war you may get what you are wishing. This is a great time to make positive changes since Jupiter in Sagittarius is semisextile Pluto in Capricorn and is also good for spiritual growth and creating more wealth and advancing in your career. Kozminsky Symbol for degree of Full Moon – A man is struggling with a fierce serpent whilst others armed with large knives are hurrying to aid him. Victory is temporary in a dualistic world. Those who are affected most intensely are: 16-23 degrees of Sun signs/Rising signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. If you have any personal planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) at these degrees they will be influenced. Birthdays included are: April 7-14; July; 9-16; October 10-17; and January 7-14. Aries- Good fortune may come about. Relationships and partnerships in forefront. Yet it truly is all about you this time around. Take that energy and be you for once. Taurus – No matter what others tell you as to what is going on it is about your intuitive feelings that make the difference. Pay attention to this in your life and it is beneficial. Gemini – Someone new may enter your life. Look for people who share your ideals. New ways of thinking may come to you. Watch for problems in a friendship. Cancer – You may get charged up as usual and it may just take you to a new direction/career. Right now you need to hide nothing. You came a long way. Be you. Leo- Good things may show up on the travel front along with education and creative gifts. Stop for a moment before a big step forward. Find a way to keep your energy going. Virgo- Use your common sense to make any choices now!  Do not take any big risks at this time. Even though the money may be tight, you do know how to do it. Libra – It is a time for tact when broaching a topic so no one takes it personally. Good fortune may show up through those you know or just meet. Light the fire within. Scorpio – Before you open to someone and trust them take a good look at the connection first. If you believe in something even if there is a risk, you know what to do. Sagittarius- If you are looking for an opportunity, then now may be a good time to open to it. Also it is a time for sharing yourself and your gifts with others. Be generous. Capricorn – Forget the emotional issues that are now bombarding your life. Look at those achievements that you have. Let others know you care and put them at ease. Aquarius- Looking for a new friend then get yourself out and about in the next few days. You may even want to start planning a trip so you can do something different. Pisces – No need for emotional urgency even though this is a fiscal type energy for you. Enjoy getting out there with others. Moderation is the key. That ship coming in is close. Thank you for reading and sharing. I would love to hear your experiences as the Full Moon takes place.  Stay in balance even when any shifting takes place. And stop letting the energy of those who are not in your favor stop you from leaping forward. Keep your heart open to love. May you be blessed. Until again, love Jan https://janais.wordpress.com/ Read the full article

Cai Guo-Qiang

“I hope this movie will encourage a lot more young artists,” said Cai. “It’s not easy to be an artist, but it’s very meaningful.”

I didn’t know that I grew up seeing Cai Guo Qiang work. I cut myself some slack as I was more engrossed in the music scene than contemporary art. Even now when I think of the Ford Taurus’ hanging from the ceiling of the Seattle Art Museum I find them dated. Part of the reason is the choice of vehicle and the bursts of neon light radiating out of the suspended cars. Another reason is the installation of the work at the SAM. The former, amazingly missed, art critic for The Stranger Jen Graves wrote a piece on the work when it was finally removed: 

At that museum, you could walk into that single gallery and see the entire arc of the white cars as they tumbled through space with their "exploding" colored lights flashing. There was nothing else in the gallery. The cinematic, frame-by-frame flight—beginning and ending with parked cars on the ground—potentially symbolized a car bomb, or a crash.

In 2007, the artwork came to Seattle Art Museum and became part of its permanent collection. It was a gift from retired banking executive Robert M. Arnold in honor of SAM's 75th anniversary in 2008 and the expansion of the museum, which opened with the cars front and center.

The flashing lights, visible from the street, became synonymous with SAM.

But confusion became synonymous with the flashing lights.

At SAM, the cars flying through the air were interrupted by the architecture, dramatically. You couldn't see the entire arc because the cars flew through a balcony and down onto another floor. Over the years, I gave museum tours for various groups, and every single time, the people would say to me, "What is that?"

Inopportune: Stage One has been one of the worst-installed art juggernauts that I've ever seen.

It was rendered meaningless. But it was also the loudest thing about entering SAM. I found it continually depressing.

I wasn’t thinking about any of this when I finally watched the film that had been sitting in my Netflix cue for over a year, Sky Ladder. The annoying preview that the streaming giant instituted a couple months ago finally paid off and I cried enough happy tears at the short film that I finally decided to hit play. The movie was as encouraging to me as I suspect Cai would hope. Of of the first quotes that resonated with me was from one of Guo Qiang’s many helpers “He doesn’t see failure or success in art”. To create without thinking of that creation succeeding feels so overwhelming. It feels as overwhelming as creating something only to destroy it. I guess when your work consists of explosions it’s an easy concept to grasp. 

There were other things that made me grab my notebook and attempt to write out yet another morning schedule to get me motivated and creating. He was greatly inspired by his time in Japan, their idea of minimalism. His father was a calligrapher and during The Cultural Revolution in China was forced to burn any art books he created, which Guo Qiang helped his father do in the early morning hours. His ease at drawing characters, villages on scraps of paper, made me want to wake up every morning and spend an hour sketching. 

What is stopping me from doing even a small task like writing every morning, drawing in my book, reading, coloring, practicing my craft? I see the work it takes to create these large scale projects and I know I’m willing to do it but I am scared to be the one that oversee’s the process, finding more comfort in those who help. It’s obviously fear. Fear of creating something people won’t like. Fear of having a team rely on me only to let them down. Fear of asking for what I want. Fear of actually succeeding in creating a sustaining career that isn’t built on anyone but me. 

“he doesn’t see failure or success”

As the movie showed the pieces Guo Qiang has created over the years I was surprised to see the familiar lobby of the SAM with the two visible cars of Inopportune: Stage One. This was an artist I had seen repeatedly and yet was never moved by. The piece itself was removed to great fanfare by the local art community. This work was created, purchased by a Bank Executive, and put into a space that didn’t allow for it’s original intent to be shown. Inopportune was basically a temporary work. And he just keeps creating. And now I’m writing about him as an inspiration. 

Sky Ladder, the work itself, is another ephemeral piece. Attempted many times, thwarted by weather and permits, years and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, Cai finally saw it come to life on the banks of a small fishing village at 4:30 in the morning to small viewing party of his family and friends. There was moment, once the sun rose and the fanfare was over, that Cai walked over to his wife who was wracked with tears. Happy tears. She looked at the sky, the skeletal remains of the ladder still hanging from the heavens, and cried even harder. It was over: and it was over, finally. The life of a project, from beginning to end. Treasure the moments, grieve for the loss. Life is temporary, art should be too.
