#i could see miles being a capricorn

[huntingrays]

aa headcanon/prompt:

during the years they spent being friends with each other, phoenix realizes that not only has he never celebrated miles’ birthday with him, but also that he has no clue when it is.

he knows miles doesn’t seem much like a party person, but he would still like to have a small celebration with him. miles always comes to the parties for himself as well as maya, trucy, and even apollo and athena. he wanted to find a way to return the favor and throw a (small, casual) party for his favorite prosecutor when the time rolled around for his birthday.

the only trouble was finding out when his birthday was. for some reason, whenever he asked, miles would find a way to dodge the question or to just ignore it and divert phoenix’s attention to another matter. it was incredibly infuriating and only made phoenix more determined to find out when the man was born.

it took miles being injured for him to find out the answer.

during a crime scene investigation, a few series of unfortunate events resulted in miles breaking his arm. though the stubborn man insisted he was fine, phoenix insisted that he was not and took him to the hospital.

phoenix decided to be the one to fill out miles’ paperwork, since miles was injured. he was able to fill out most of the information with ease, except for medical history and date of birth. he asked miles for his date of birth, but miles remained silent. he asked him once again and miles sighed heavily before divulging the information to him. though phoenix had wanted to know this for months, he regretted it the moment he heard the date.

“december 28th, 1992.”

now he knew why miles didn’t celebrate his birthday.

Vedic Astrology Observation (based on shows/films part 3)

Very interesting how Saturn creates literal mental hardships on their natives, which can cripple their self esteem. Sometimes this theme can build or break the victim who is on the receiving end of absolute humiliation and oppression. (This applies to Capricorn, Aquarius and Saturn nakshatras. But I often see Saturn nakshatras being the oppressive figure that ignites fear in others.)

Often times, this dynamic takes place in a stress-inducing environment where the leader is a cold, brutal tyrant. One big example that popped in my head is the film Whiplash, where this cruel music teacher is played by Pushya Moon, J.K Simmons. This teacher takes this one particular student through a journey of humiliation, abuse and degradation to get the 'best results' out of him (when it's also about power imbalance for the teacher). The student being played by Aquarius Sun, Miles Teller.

Saturn sees this as a process of purification. Through extreme harshness, you become a refined diamond. But does one really have to suffer to achieve success? Mercury nakshatras, especially Revati, is where this theme becomes dismantled. Mercury calculates ways to shortcuts, basically getting ahead without extreme hardship. But it's interesting that a Saturn nakshatra native can adopt a mindset that victimizes oneself just so that the relief of success can be rewarded. The assumption that mental hardship reaps the best results out of a person. This is especially what Uttara Bhadrapada represents, self destruction & self restriction to become more 'elevated'.

Another obvious example of a film about being under a tyrant is Devil Wears Prada. Pushya Ascendant Meryl Streep portraying a ruthless, tyrannical figure who has caused a stressful work environment because of the fear she's instilled in others. And she takes this one employee who she sees potential in, and expects perfection out of her.

The performance of the character being inspired Glenn Close's portrayal of Cruella who is also a horrible, abusive tyrant of a boss who terrorizes her employees. And she's Uttara Bhadrapada Sun.

And another tyrannical, cruel and cold character I would like to name is Sue Sylvester from Glee, who is portrayed by Uttara Bhadrapada Moon and Pushya Ascendant, Jane Lynch (who randomly reminds me of Hillary Clinton who is also Uttara Bhadrapada Moon).

It's so funny that 'The Bear' shows an extremely anxiety-inducing work environment and the main lead is of course an Uttara Bhadrapada Moon. Whose unleashing rage in S1 is compared to Shia Labeouf's temper. And it's important to note that Shia Labeouf is indeed a f/cking Pushya Moon. 😭

The screaming, stress, fear of failure / fear of small mistakes and especially the humiliation that goes on in the kitchen of this series is so Saturnian themed. The environment being unhealthy and unpredictable, the mental hardship which takes toll on your self esteem. I could immediately link this whole post back to Claire Nakti's Uttara Bhadrapada video which opened my eyes in a big way (as I see endless Saturn nak themes instantly), and in real life I witness how Saturn nakshatra people are either humiliating others or they are on the receiving end of that pressure and humiliation.

The Black Mirror episode called 'Joan Is Awful' is very Saturnian.

This character Joan is perceived as cold and cruel, which is not her intention. And she one day finds that there is a series made about her life in a very exaggerated way (without her consent). In the series mimicking her life, Joan is played by Salma Hayek who portrays her very coldly, self-centered and mean-spirited.

I like how Uttara Bhadrapada and Pushya can be interchangeable. (Pushya is ruled by the deity Brihaspati who is literally Jupiter. And Uttara Bhadrapada is Pisces which is ruled by Jupiter. Both nakshatras belong in the warrior caste, which means they're not sweet and soft as they're classified as warriors. And both nakshatras are ruled by Saturn, ofc, so all of this means they have a very, very similar temperament.)

I love to think of how Anya Taylor Joy and Charlize Theron share the same character. Anya portraying a young version of Furiosa and Charlize portraying the version we know in Mad Max: Fury Road.

And also, the theme of Joan Is Awful is the exploitation of the anatomy and life of both women (three, actually), and the humiliation they experience as their exploitation is for other people's consumption. The lack of consent which denies them of rights is very Saturnian.

Actually, it's very similar to another Black Mirror episode called Ashley O, starring Miley Cyrus who is an Anuradha Sun.

A celebrity whose anatomy is exploited for the consumption and entertainment of others, which nearly leads to her death. Saturn nakshatras and Saturn rashis may experience the stripping of one's own identity; they may experience moments where they have to make themselves feel small, where they're completely powerless, where they have to hide, or act a certain way to survive.

Also, I just finished watching the kdrama called Celebrity, and I find it so funny that the main character got called 'Modern Cinderella' because she's romantically involved with this handsome, rich CEO dude who became intrigued with her directness. She literally is Cinderella in how her father died after going bankrupt and her family adapted to a smaller life, but she still has the knowledge to run a business/factory (because her father ran factories) which she benefits from. She becomes belittled, humiliated and oppressed until she decides that to gain power is to gain respect. This particular theme is very Uttara Bhadrapada, but this character is played by Pushya Sun Park Gyu-young.

Again, I believe Pushya and Uttara Bhadrapada are interchangeable sometimes. Also, I love how she social climbs her way on top. Which is also very Saturnian. But it's important to note that the premise of the series is also Rahuvian, and the actress is a Swati Moon which is just perfect.

But yeah this is all I got, thanks for reading <3.

week of february 11th, 2024

these are written predominantly for the *rising* signs but they are also intuitively "channeled" enough that they should work for any dominant energy you have! (try your sun if you don't know rising, or more advanced readers can try moon, anywhere you have a stellium, etc and see what works best for you!)

aries: mars into aquarius makes you (more of?) a genius. really! but you can't expect to just know everything all at once. little downloads find their way into your brain without you knowing how you know them but it doesn't change the fact that you know. not everyone will listen, but at least you know.

taurus: this extremely aquarian week puts your reputation and public image into focus. it may clash with the way you actually intend to present yourself or the way that you see yourself. if you find that's the case and you're not happy about it, it is safe to make changes to either arena, although uranian involvment does mean things not go quite according to plan. ultimately it ends up in your favor most likely anyway.

gemini: air sign vibes continue to increase dramatically this week. it's especially aquarian so ideally your focus is on haute intellectual pursuits; the mental equivalent of junk food and tabloids is all well and good but it simply won't suffice this week.

cancerians: if you've been wanting to try your hand at the occult or something that is a bit socially taboo, this week is the right time for it. especially by the weekend, but you could start early and build up. alternatively pay off debts, take out loans if necessary, invest, etc. if that suits you!

leo: if pluto entering aquarius did a number on your partnerships, increasingly aquarian vibes help you get back out there, and/or heal things, and/or come to terms with how much you love being on your own, or whatever the case may be; there's also a good chance of new love or commitment entering your life in the next three or four weeks.

virgo: if you haven't already started such a process, tear down your entire daily routines, diet, and/or exercise plans and rebuild. don't forget either step! it isn't going to work to try to start new on a pre-existing foundation, and it isn't going to work to tear something down that isn't working without replacing it with something better.

libra: the steadily (actually rapidly) increasing air vibe does a lot for your fun and romance. don't stifle it with obligations and responsibilities; do what you absolutely have to do, and then do more if it lights you up truly, but other than that, do what brings you bliss this week. especially if that involves any form of flirtation.

scorpio: you're one of those lucky signs with, arguably, two chart rulers. they are mars and pluto, and they meet up with each other in your 4th house, aquarius, today. if you have planets or angles in the first few degrees of scorpio or last few of libra, this can be quite challenging and i suggest being very careful to avoid accidents for possible violence, but for the most part this can be empowering to you, especially if you channel the vibes into your physical home as a sanctuary or, in this case, more of a lair.

sagittarius: if you can participate in any sort of positive activism or a cause you sincerely care deeply about, this is the best time to do it, especially the closer to home you can keep it. at the same time, be cautious as accidents and even violence are probably more likely under these influences.

capricorn: the world order's shift from earth to air really finalizes and hits home this week. you're out of the spotlight in some way, but it probably suits you. maybe it is more like escaping from a search light.

aquarius: yet more ingresses into your sign are poised to occur. it is mostly beneficial for you. the only caveat is that when mars conjoins pluto, you will be more prone to bodily or mental harm or injury. so go the extra mile to care for your corporeal form and enjoy the aura of magnetism you're to be granted.

pisces: when things pile into aquarius, the sign right before yours, for most people it's a simply aquarian time. for you though, since that's your 12th house, it's... almost piscean. be sure to do your shadow work, dream practices, and any other suitable 12th house activities this week with both mars and venus joining the party in that part of the sky.

Past Life 📜 Karmic Spread September 2024 - Capricorn

Preshuffle: You wished for something and got what you wanted, but it wasn’t what you thought you wanted. Money & family are intertwined somehow.

Meditation: An Italian restaurant with an Italian family working inside, several children all do their part while the adults run the place. What starts as a dream come true turns into everyone getting under everyone’s skin over time. It becomes obligation, burden, chains, overwork, greed in some cases - The Devil. Capricorn 💯 I clearly heard “it’s not a restaurant,” so idk why they’re showing me one, but that’s the scene they’re giving to create the vibe.

~ The Past Life ~

Gender I’m Picking Up On (in the past life): Male, the head of a family business

Character Card: Harmony ☮️ - Sun Libra

Who You Were: King of Pentacles rev, 10 Swords rev, 5 Wands rev

What You Did: 9 Swords rev & The Sun

How It Ended: Knight of Pentacles

Oracles: Clover & Health

This past energy is cracking me up, you were a hoot and a half - and I look over to the current energy of heavy loss and wonder if you don’t still have some of that in you, I think you do. It’s buried. But that’s for later. You were a glorified scam artist 😆 With bragging rights. The example I’m being given now is like the only bait & tackle shop in the small ass town where the big lake is that others are staying at for the weekend. You want an extra $3 a worm for bait, but they pay it because the next closest one is 20 miles away. You were amused by this fact, having no competition and charging more for convenience, you celebrated it. That was the whole purpose of the business, to you. A++ sense of humor, it’s like you were greedy but people knew what they were getting into. “Next time they’ll know better, or I’ll be here with the bait.” 🪱 Still getting Italian, but not Italy, I’m not sure where this was taking place. A very big lake in the middle of nowhere. I just heard “a Great Lake”, near one of the Great Lakes, USA. Now I’m hearing Michigan - and that that will ring a bell 🛎️ to you, you currently have some kind of tie to that state, even if it was just an event you went to or something. I’m also seeing The Liberty Bell, which is in Pennsylvania, and a trip…you moved to Michigan. This describes the second half of your life, I’m not sure about the early parts, or the rest of your family, it’s being shown as irrelevant to this - move on lady.

You saw this with the right perspective, a source of income to pass onto your children - they ended up seeing it as a huge burden and probably sold it or closed up shop later - but you never knew that. You were proud, and had good intentions regardless of being kinda dodgy. Honestly dodgy, respectfully so, a business man after all. Clover & Health with this Knight of Pentacles is showing an accident that left you in a wheelchair - but it was fortunate however it happened, especially “at the time”. I’m hearing “no pain” but I’m not getting a what it is exactly. I’m not even seeing you go to a doctor, there might not have been one? Or you just handled it with some stubborn ass man-stitched DIY contraption probably. I do see a wheelchair. You couldn’t walk, or not very well/easily, if you could. I’m seeing you as getting used to it, still working, still showing up every day - it hardly affected you, you worked around it (built or made DIY things to help), very clever and resourceful - and you had children for help too - I’m seeing four or five of them. From about middle age on to the end, this was your state of being, and death shows up as natural…whatever that means. Easy breezy, for you.

~ The Present Life ~

What Karma Was Brought With You: Ace of Pentacles, Queen of Swords, 2 Pentacles rev

Who You Brought With You: The Fool rev

Additional energy: King of Wands rev & 9 Pentacles rev

Character Card: Loss 😞 - Saturn Pisces

Oracles: Coffin, Mother, Karmic Relationship

You are definitely a female in this life, a very strong feminine made of pure muscle, at least in the mind & emotions if nothing else. That is probably a trauma response but let’s continue. I’m seeing Luisa from Encanto, and with 4 Wands clarifying, I’m literally seeing the weight of the entire house on her shoulders. Such are you the backbone and strength of your entire family, even at an early age, because I’m seeing Mom show up as a mess. That may trigger you, but I’m hearing it needs to be said. The Devil clarifies her - at least her role to you. You are probably the oldest/only child, Mom may have been dependent on you for survival, or everyone else was because she was MIA. Drunk. Passed out. Gone mentally. Somehow unable. You stepped up 💯 I’m getting a spicy Latin vibe with this current life and these colors are giving me life, it’s unintentional on my end but not Spirit’s. I’m just now realizing the connection in colors & cultures here hello.

Your life is scarred by loss, and with Coffin that loss may be literal physical loss, connected to a Mother and a karmic relationship, you’ve lost both - either literally - you’ve had to mourn these people 😞 or you’ve had to end these connections for your own health’s sake. With the karmic, they’re shown as someone who had a secret you found out about, or if an actual death then this may show the autopsy bringing something to light. A funny autopsy, something isn’t right. One or both may be connected to drugs & addictions. Separately… you have a knack for finding financial opportunities, and spreading your resources thin to cover essentials, but you have a hard time finding things that last long-term. Solid opportunities. You could have experience with temp jobs, or you have floated from job to job with no real “career” moves, you just need money 💯

You’re not going to like this part 😜 There is a person around you that you give advice to all of the time, you’re like their personal cheerleader. They show up as someone that doesn’t have a lot of confidence, they don’t try to reach for their goals, they’re shy or afraid to take chances…not a risk taker. You’re always pushing them to reach for more - but you’re also the one that needs to, per Spirit. It shows you’re lacking in financial independence and comfort because you hold on to what you have and you’re too afraid (or negative minded) to branch out and try something new - Ace of Cups. That’s a fancy way of saying hypocrite. But they’re also saying IF you do, Ace of Cups is something connected to your heart, something you love 💗 and Inspiration at the bottom of the deck shows this being exactly the thing you feel like you’re missing. You’ve been too afraid to reach for this…could be a relationship, could be a hobby, I’m not sure. You’d know, it’s the thing you’re afraid of. Doing that would make you really happy, and the energy would switch paths, like a road sign pointing to Loss Lane and turning towards Inspiration Motorway - that’s how it’s shown to me idk, this could involve travel. What even is a motorway…what a strange choice. It’s a whole new kind of existence, is the point, but you have to consciously choose it, it won’t just happen to you.

Motorway - British/English word for a highway or freeway. Travel is here, are you planning a trip to Europe? …maybe you should?

Astrology analysis - Spider verse Edition

Came up with this idea out of nowhere but I love this movie series so much idk how I could not analyze the characters!! I’m so invested in them lol.

**Major spoilers ahead

Miles Morales/ Spider-Man:

Capricorn Rising: This was tough but I really thought about the filter that Miles sees the world through and how much of his journey has to deal with the pressure put upon him and how he has to find a way to be himself. Hes pushed to succeed and has ambitious goals in his school life. He often finds himself isolated due to how much is on his plate. He’s a ground breaking spider-man like no other.

Leo Sun: He’s a confident kid. Even if he juggles too much on his plate. He’s outgoing and kind, and actually very social and eager. He can underestimate situations because of his ego sometimes and that trips him up. He also can catch a lot of attention, for doing very well and not so well. Leos tend to catch attention when they’re showing off and when they’re messing up.

Virgo Moon: Anxious and analytical. He picks up on the details that no one else notices and often uses that to his advantage. Even when he gets passed his like Spider-Man stage fright he still gets a bit tripped up and is hard on himself. He does gain the confidence to go his own way, even if he’s still a bit vulnerable. He feels deeply even if others can’t see it. He’s a genius kid too.

Capricorn Mercury: it was the way he stood up for himself and vowed to go his own way after Miguel sent everyone after him. In my experience Capricorn/Saturn can show where you have to stand up for yourself and Miles had to write his expectations of what he would live up to in into the spiderverse then in across the spiderverse he was forced to defend himself and go his own way. He also is a clever thinker and gets under estimated as being out of his depth which is more about his Mercury being conjunct his Ascendant but I thought I’d add my two cents.

Pisces Venus: He’s an artist and a daydreamer. Super sweet towards Gwen and cute and passive about his crush. Heartbroken when she betrayed him. :/ Also he’s pretty liable to being influenced by the people in his social circles.

Virgo Mars: Okay mars can point to dexterity too, and he’s acrobatic but also awkward. He’s a teenager yes, but the other teens have a bit more grace. Miles will often move and fight in a way that’s super out of the box though. He’s also not really a confrontational kid, but he holds his own when it comes down to it. He also has a long term crush on Gwen, which I think virgo mars can become really attached when they catch feelings.

Spider-Gwen:

Scorpio Rising: she’s intense and has a lot going on. She’s perceptive. She’s alternative and expresses her intense emotions through outlets like the drums. She gives me moon rising energy of like having a world full of emotional complexity and depth. But Scorpio moon rising so it’s a world full of harsh edges that can be hard to gaze into and totally understand unless you’ve gone through a lot like she has. (Hence the whole not doing friends thing but obviously acting from an emotionally wounded place and being loyal to the people that helped her to a self sabotaging degree)

Capricorn Sun: Only because I think she’s a bit of a hardass lol. Ok let me not skip ahead. She works very hard, is intelligent, and very difficult to get close to. She tends to trust older people in power and they continue to disappoint her. I find that Capricorn placements often have a theme of being forced to come into their own because of immature/underdeveloped adults in their lives. She has a sense of humor and can come back to earth when she’s not singlemindedly focused on her duties though.

Scorpio Moon: A heavy theme of loss in her life. She has emotional scars and pent up anger about “mistakes” she’s made and friends she hasn’t been able to save. She feels deeply and emotionally. And she vows to redeem herself. (Scorpio Stellium energy too)

Capricorn Mercury: dry Wit and communication style. Always a lot going on in her head that she won’t really vocalize to people on the outside.

Scorpio Venus: All of her friends have meant so much to her. She carries their memories with her in her heart and on her mind. When she lost Peter it made such an extreme impression on her she vowed not to have friends again. Yet when she met Miles she felt closer to him than she had with anyone in a while. She betrayed him and has to work on building up trust between them again. It’s like she has a wound to repair over her friendships and relationships in general.

Libra Mars: Moves with grace and dexterity. Very angry but not very confrontational, especially when it comes down to figures wronging her personally. She has a strong sense of justice too and that drives her to action, especially when others can be harmed. She’s also into Miles because he’s kind, authentic, and has a strong sense of doing the right thing no matter what.

Peter B Parker:

Pisces Rising: I think it’s a combination of just how clearly his mood affects his appearance (he was having a rough time in the first film lest we forget) and how like he’s seen as super heroic and is our classic SpiderMan but he’s also been through a lot of emotional times but is always effected by new connections and new people coming into his life. It’s the fluidity of how much the world still effects him in his 40s for me. He’s also very sentimental.

Virgo Sun: Because he’s so smart and so tired and seemingly cynical about solving the problems that go on but he’ll still step up and save the day and help the kid that seems him to be their mentor (is it weird that he reminds me a tiny tiny bit of Kakashi? It’s that anti mentor architype but they’re still a good mentor at the end of the day.). He’s also self sacrificing, the day has to be saved no matter what. (Also the way he treated miles and tried to say it was help miles in across the spiderverse, if you’ve ever known a Virgo man you probably get what I mean lmao, a very virgo way to rationalize betrayal ngl)

Taurus Moon: He’s an older SpiderMan and he’s tired but he’s also able to bounce back despite a bunch of trauma and sadness. Not immediately, like any fixed sign it takes time, but he gets his groove back. (He was a wreck for a while though and when Taurus moons are having a rough time, they’re having the worst time) He’s also not nearly as tough as he pretends to be and he’s a softie and and a romantic. And he loves being a dad so much. Just an overall nice guy (even if he does screw up).

Virgo Mercury: He’s always too tired to explain what’s happening and what needs to be done but he will explain it! Lol

Taurus Venus: he loves May because she’s as grounded and emotionally understanding as she is beautiful. He also like really loves her and is heart broken when it doesn’t work out. He gets over his fear of having kids and they get right back together and it’s beautiful (*cry*)

Cancer Mars: He loves his family so much. He’s a burnt out husk without them. And he’s completely rejuvenated by getting back with May and becoming a dad and finding hope in being Miles mentor. He’s protective over everyone at once even if that doesn’t work out. (Also like heavy on trying to protect Miles but not be honest with him and doing that lowkey emotional manipulation thing that cancer placements can do sometimes..) also I just keep thinking of that seahorse scene from into the spiderverse and that’s his whole cancer mars vibe imo lol.

Pavitr Prabhakar/Spider-Man India:

Leo Rising: He’s like a textbook, non insecure Leo rising! He’s popular and beloved as both spider-man and Pavitr. Everyone loves him and he’s super confident and a little naive. He’s even got the luscious Leo hair.

Pisces Sun: he’s light hearted and a little naive about the whole being Spider-Man thing. But he’s bc such a sweetheart. He even immediately supports Gwen and Miles getting together. An overall cutie we appreciate it.

Cancer Moon: Immediately checks the romantic tension vibe and has that like “you can’t get anything past me” intuition thing that cancer moons and venuses usually do. He cares a lot about his friends and his family and has deep loyalty towards Miles for helping save them.

Leo Mercury: He’ll just say what’s on his mind and say it loudly. He likes to be charming but that’s not his main goal.

Leo Venus: He loves his super cool girlfriend and likes most of the attention they get together. He loves his friends too and he’s super loyal. (Also Leo stellium energy am I right?)

Gemini Mars: very tricky to figure out lol, but he’s got that similar Mercurial mars gracefulness. I feel like he moves a lot more sporadically than a Virgo mars would. He also has a lot of wit and lightheartedness to his words and actions.

Hobie Brown/Spider Punk:

(WHAT AN ICON!! I love a leftist anarchist actually getting shit done omg such a real one)

Sagittarius Rising: Sees the world uniquely, he’s able to see out of the box solutions to problems. Cracks a lot of jokes but also political ones all the time. He isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers. A lot of people love him and a few really hate him.

Aries Sun: Charismatic and coming in with a big burst of energy. The first to call out the corruption in the spider org.

Scorpio Moon: Very alt and very cool. Careful about who he lets in. He’s good at reading everyone (immediately clocks Miguel’s bad intent and Miles’ stand out potential). He has a strong moral code and knows who to align with and against but doesn’t let anyone see his plans.

Sagittarius Mercury: Blunt and calls out a lot of shit. And like will ask the uncomfortable questions and give uncomfortable advice. Also cracks like 20 jokes in his first few minutes on screen.

Aquarius Venus: Lots of friends and lots of philosophizing with those friends. Can really irk some people and charm the rest. Thinks deeply and is reliable but in a birds eye view sort of way.

Aries Mars: unafraid to get stuff done, has that sun conjunct mars energy of putting action behind what they believe.

Miguel O’Hara:

Scorpio Rising: Have you seen him?? Fr, he’s dark and intimidating and intense. He has a cynical view of things abd can be very attached to how things are supposed to be done. He also gets intensely fixated.

Capricorn Sun: Built the whole spider organization from the ground up and he runs it according to his very strict standards. Asserts himself at the top and as the correct one in many situations.

Aries Moon: He’s independent and single minded. His anger distracts him and wholly takes over his focus. His anger gets pretty explosive as well.

Capricorn Mercury: Not a lot of small talk from this guy. Very my way or the highway.

Cancer Venus: family was the most important thing to him and he has an emotional scar over losing them.

Scorpio Mars: If you cross him he’ll hunt you down and make you pay. Even if you just disagree with him it’s a fight. He seems like he used to be softer on his loved ones but he’s acting from an emotionally selfish place now. Also strong Mars rising energy, very aggressive.

(Will follow up with SpiderWoman, Spider- Byte, Peni Parker, Spider Man Noir, and Spider Ham after the next movie if you guys want ;0)

[discluded]

Can we please talk about all the experiences that Mile and Apo have gone through together. The fact that Apo was present there for Mile when he got his hair cut and he donated it. I don’t want to assume but someone pointed out the fact that Mile got his finger tattoo after meeting Apo again. How after meeting again he found a person with which he could take risks and have a bit more personal freedom into trying not to care about what others think of him, but what makes HIM happy, on various occasions Apo has pointed out that he wants Mile to be more self confident, and I find it so lovely how they each give to each other as much as they get . And how can I put in words the greatest gift Mile has given to Apo(by investing into BOC)….creative freedom! How Apo is in a place where he feels seen and heard, and also respected bc they take into account his opinions and his input. A place where they respect his artistry and for that I will forever love them both to pieces ❤️

🥺🥺🥺🫶

apparently not everyone knows this but yes, Apo was there when Mile got his hair cut and Mile also grew it specifically to donate to charity

also apparently Mile doesn't like his hair being touched so the fact he casually let's Apo style his hair all the time is so cute 🥺

here's a very visible quote from Vogue about Apo wanting Mile to be more confident 🥹😖🫶🫰

Q: do you have anything you want to say to each other that impressed you and that you never said to your partner before?

Apo: i have one thing that i never said to him..i wanted to say this long time ago (apo's voice became more serious before turning his face to mile who's smiling and teased pmile "i’m making your face all sweet and lovely"). I wanna say that he has became more skilled but he’s never satisfied with himself for real. He has a handsome face and is skilled in what he's doing, i want pmile to be satisfied with himself and not to be anxious. Except from this, pmile has made me more calm. Before, i liked to do things fast and i would get irritated with anything slow. Seeing how pmile is more on the calmer side, it makes me able to do so too like teaching me the other way around saying “there are different people on this world”

Me, a capricorn who doesn't believe in astrology because that's a capricorn trait: that's so capricorn of him

and yes, Apo has gotten so much creative freedom from being in BOC!

I think Mile also makes Apo feel safe. Apo has gotten a lot of comments about being weird, and was bullied on set or on talk shows when he was doing promotion. For whatever value of us as fans seeing/not seeing it, clearly it was a sore point for Apo and something Mile is very protective of Apo over.

also let's not forget, Mile asked for the flag in Taipei! I don't think it occurred to Apo he could ask for it. But as soon as he had it in hand, he was so happy to wrap it around himself 🥰🌈

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Hello there!

Can you talk more about aries mercury? so...not the fool card? Even though they don't "think things through" before speaking? It seems to me aries in mercury is either over-emotional, too forward, too logical, too passionate and so many contradictory things all at once. I would REALLY love to hear what you think about that. Please.

Btw, Capricorn Mercury seems to be the most 'useful' mercury in terms of external/social benefits, in the sense that they have a constant filter that makes them gain respect by others easily. I don't necessarily like their minds to be honest, and they're generally not interested in lots of topics but I have to recognise how handy it could come to people who don't get to wish to discuss/delve deeper in various topics.

I have multiple cap mercuries in my life btw including friends, colleagues and my dear mother with whom--even though she's a Gemini Moon--barely manages to have hobbies of her own or participate in games.

I feel like cap mercury is perfect on the outside, but overly influenced by society's standards, rules and appearance on the inside bc of that filter. Like they don't really "think for themselves"? They're much more focused on appearances than on the content of a text, speech and mercury matters.

Sorry for the ramble. Also, discovered ur blog today and I love the authenticity.

A;

love love love love LOOOOOVE this ask thank u so so much omg- mercury stuff is one of my absolute favorite things to yap abt in astrology and i consider it kinda my specialty bc im mercury dominant myself so 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

let's start with aries mercury- in my experience, people with aries mercury aren't necessarily impulsive when it comes to their thoughts or how they talk, unless the rest of the chart says otherwise (mercury square mars especially could do this imo)

my mom has her mercury in 25° aries (so an aries degree) and she's like 99% fire with a cap rising that doesn't do a whole lot bc it's SUUUUUPER intercepted by aquarius- Like literally her whole 1st house is engulfed by aquarius but her asc line is in cap so 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

she's the perfect example of an aries mercury in my opinion- she literally Cannot sit still for longer than like. an hour at best. even my gemini finds it slightly annoying but i just follow her around whenever we're talking 😭😭😭

she also has her sun and venus both in aries (venus conjunct mercury) so she's very aries dominant, and she's not very confrontational or impulsive at all- she's not really quick to anger either like stereotypical aries is, but she is pretty easily irritated id say 😵‍💫

in terms of mercury specifically, you can just See the aries influence in like everything she does- her organization isn't the neatest, but she has to have everything put away otherwise she'll lose her mind and she literally can't focus until the kitchen is clean or something-

her mercury goes a MILE a minute just like mine does so in talking to her, we can go from something very normal to the most out of nowhere conversation you could ever imagine- And we have mercury sextile mercury together (albeit a wide orb bc my mercury is 1° gemini 😵‍💫) so somehow we understand the other's chaos perfectly and actually manage to reel the other in without actually doing anything-

shockingly, where my gemini will get incredibly confused and overwhelmed, her aries will come in clutch- a good example of this is a while ago we were playing fallout 76 and if u dont know, in that game u have a stash box with limited storage capacity and it's inevitable that it'll fill up eventually so u have to get rid of a whole bunch of stuff to bring it back down-

i literally got so overwhelmed by that to the point of tears and my dad tried to help (his mercury is in taurus btw) and he literally couldn't bc i refused to open up to him tbh- so he went and got my mom and just her Being in the same Room with me got my mercury to sort its shit out- like she saw everything so clearly and directly, very aries, whereas i was overwhelmed by all the details, very gemini.

so i think aries mercury is actually a Really good placement especially if you have strong aspects to back it up- it can make you see complicated things very simply and clearly OR the opposite sometimes 😵‍💫 it Can make you overlook details and not understand something when it isn't perfectly direct- and i also notice that, at least with my mom, her aries mercury makes her a Little less good with people- only because a lot of people aren't as clear and concise as she would like them to be, and that's when i have to help her figure out what they mean 😭

i think aries mercuries do actually think things through before they speak, they just think so fast that it Seems like they don't- similar to gemini mercuries actually 😵‍💫

i also dont think they're overly emotional or hot-headed as per the aries stereotypes- i think they're actually a lot more calculated than we give them credit for especially since mars is the god of war, and to win a war you need strategy (personally i think aries rules the sun, but mars makes sense here so 😮‍💨)

ANYWYA in terms of CAPRICORN!!!!!

i have observed quite a few capricorn mercuries so i am extremely glad u brought them up-

i think what u said abt capricorn mercuries being the most useful in terms of social benefits is actually kinda real- i do notice that Most capricorn mercuries are similar to libra mercuries in that they are generally very respectful of the things they talk about, at least if they actually respect them 😵‍💫

i have 3 different capricorn mercuries that im using as examples in my head right now- jonathan davis, awsten knight and bill wurtz- if you've seen any of them in interviews, you'll notice they're all very different with the way they talk but i think jonathan davis and awsten knight are the most similar in the respect thing-

those two are both so charismatic and polite in my opinion- and bill wurtz is too but he's a lot more like what you would think an aries mercury would be like- he's very high-strung, at least in the interview i saw, and has a lot of nervous energy and talks So Fast and yet it still seems like his mouth cant keep up with his brain-

awsten is pretty similar, he's got adhd (same 😵‍💫) and talks pretty fast but his pace seems a little closer to a gemini mercury. it's slightly slower most of the time but the speed at which he talks and thinks seems to vary based on what he's talking about.

jonathan is very cap coded to me with the way he talks, and im silly for him rn so i have done extensive research 💔💔💔 But he seems very methodical, yet playful with how he talks and thinks- methodical but you can tell his brain is fully capable of that uranus level speed at the same time 😭😭😭

i think overall cap mercuries absolutely depend on the rest of the chart bc if u saw my beef with earth signs post (or newsletter!!), u'll have seen where i said earth placements are outlines waiting to be colored in by the rest of the chart-

so if someone has too many earth placements or like- a taurus-influenced cap mercury, i can Absolutely see how they could be someone who doesn't seem to think for themselves, or even thinks too Much about themselves-

i also think the smaller range of interests could actually make sense for a cap mercury because saturn is very much about mastery, so the mercury, unless influenced by another element that says otherwise, would hyperfixate on one thing until it masters it instead of a gemini or aries mercury which is more jack of all trades.

i hope this made sense and again thank u soooooo so much for this ask i really enjoyed this topic and if u have any other questions please feel free to send me them!!!!! i love when ppl send me questions it makes me rly happy 😭😭😭😭

Sidereal Astro Observations - Capricorn (Outer Planets)

Was having a talk with myself about Capricorn energy in sidereal astrology and I have a few points I would like to make. With the outer planets. There is something special about them however I want to get into some smaller details with them before I keep going with my examinations.

Neptune capricorns can fall into dissociative patterns if they do not like the reality they are in. To bring things into a material reality, they must first wake up and realize their inner and outer reality is one of the same. Their imaginative state works well with putting something on paper. Connected to the cosmos but not in the way as a pisces placement would be. It is more about feeling the deeper sensations in there body, then being more aware of the outside energies around them.

Uranus in Capricorn has to accept the foundations of the present moment in order for the cosmos to 'come thru' them. Uranus works well here and is beneficial for anyone who is willing to go the extra mile to create a blueprint with new-found ideas. With you and your generation, there could be new, avant-garde beliefs/styles/and artistic expression that can come into the forefront. You have a knack for anything that is extraordinary and this generation could create a new world for the rest of society for the next 20+ years.

Jupiter In Capricorn is said to be in its "detriment" however I realized that it is because while other placements can live off just faith and having an optimistic belief system, you guys have to put your money where your mouth is. Father Time cannot bless an individual who doesn't put in the effort, consistency and commitment needed for your dreams to come into reality. Alongside Uranus in Capricorn, your ideas for yourself and the reality you want for yourself can be 'out there' and while that may be true there is a certain majestic measure you will have to take in order to see this thing though. Like what is your end goal? What must you do to get this into your day to day life if you are not sure how to put in the work. The rewards come in when you let go of the pessimism and get to moving those muscles.

Saturn in Capricorn is in its rightful house, so the work and effort here can be sort of a piece of cake for these individuals. Thats when they have made it through all of the lessons of course. Foundation and hard work is beneficial for them and its not a 'problem' considering this is what they had to do for most of their lives. Saturn is the teacher and they normally teach themselves. Depending on the house, saturn can bring gifts to the individual if they allow wisdom to come through them, instead of out of them.

Now that I got the outer planets out the way I want to talk about sidereal transits with pluto being in Capricorn. For the younger millennials and older gen z, this is already hitting there neptune and uranus. For the younger gen z this will begin to happen to them in a few months-years or so.

Pluto is here to destroy the old structures, beliefs and foundations that are a issue in society. Pay attention to the laws that are being made and what is taking place in your world around you because the shifts that are being made can be a detriment to your society.

For someone with neptune in capricorn having aspects to their sun/moon/rising, expect shifts in your subconscious and the way you think. How you see yourself and the world around you make change chaotically, and if that happens it was because the work needed to be done and you were must likely living in a delusional state. If this is not worked on and you decide to fight it, it can bring strong dissociative patterns. This can be beneficial when you allow yourself to be grounded in your body and your current living situation. Neptune will be able to connect your imagination with your reality and how to bring things into fruition. Manifestion/Scripting will and can become top notch if you focus on being grounded. If you have uranus in capricorn in aspect with your sun/moon/rising expect changes in your mind where you can see shifts in how you act. Behavioral patterns may not be the same and how you think can bring you into a whole new world of understanding. If this happens chaotically its because you needed to see reality as it is, and this can later bring your eccentric beliefs into the forefront as well as creating a new blueprint/foundation for yourself and the world around you. Benefits of this can be your inner-genius coming out and it will be its own unique thing. Your mind will be able to process in the new (but mainly hidden) way of thinking and your gifts and talents will be reflective to this new shift.

As for Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn, the transformations you may face may be due to pessimism and Pluto will force you out it. As many people with these placements are destined for success, there will be a point where you must accept that their are certain beliefs and behaviors that must be sacrificed/changed and if Pluto has to wipe it out then so be it. Benefits of this will be you higher in success in society, and whatever woes come along in the world you will be higher than most and this will also be a lesson/test to see how you will work around this madness. Will you help the others in their time of need or will you reap all of the benefits for yourself?

I hope this helps anyone who is interested in sidereal like I am. If youre into tropical this still can apply to you, however sidereal and tropical have two different frequencies so its up to you to take what resonates.

I know my own zodiac sign and that is about it

okay ive got a 20 minute free period so lets see what i can word vomit

So, to start off, you have your sun sign. your sun sign represents your personality to put it simply. (also known as your star sign or zodiac sign.) this is one of your more important signs since your personality obviously makes up a large part of you. this is the first placement in your big 3/big 6.

Next, you have your moon sign. this represents your inner thoughts and emotions. pretty simple and straigh forward, another important part. (note that you must know your time and place of birth to calculate your moon sign.) this is the second placement in your big 3/big 6.

Then theres the last of your big 3, your ascendant or rising sign. this is your physical appearance, the general impression you make, and your public face. a lot of people can easily get tripped up when guessing your zodiac sign because theyre simply looking at you, which is perceiving your rising sign lol. (note, you also need to know your time and place of birth to calculate your ascendant.)

Now getting into your big 6, your mercury sign! this represents your communication style and the way you percieve information. pretty straightforward.

Next big 6 is your mars sign. your mars shows how you take action, when you act, your motivation and drive for doing things, as well as your sexuality; venus is about love and romance, so naturally youd assume that sex also fits in there as well, (and to some degree it does,) but i like to picture it as the difference between physical sexuality (mars) and mental love/romance (venus.) mars can also play a little into your appearance.

And the final placement in your big 6, your venus sign. your venus sign mostly covers romantic love, general love, and money. your type, how you persue people, and more of your sexuality is covered here.

Thats the very basics for placements, so now lets move onto elements.

Air (gemini, libra, aquarius)

air signs are typically seen as very mentally active, each in their own ways. they also tend to come off across as charming, with gemini and aquarius being a little more unconventional than libra placements. these signs are stimulated through conversation and other people.

Water (cancer, scorpio, pisces)

water signs are seen as the most sensitive and emotional elements. their sensitivity can give them a warm, trusting touch. scorpio placements tend to be very emotionally intense in a darker way compared to pisces and cancer, though they're all a little strange in their own way.

Fire (aries, leo, sagittarius)

fire signs are seen as the leaders of the elements with their confidence and social skills. these signs are typically the most social of the elements, each because of their own reason. these guys can typically be spotted from a mile away.

Earth (capricorn, taurus, virgo)

the most stable signs of all of the elements, earth signs. known for being grounded (and a bit stubborn on occasion, especially with taurus), these signs are typically seen as reliable and dependable. these signs have been blessed with logic and common sense.

i could do a whole other post on sign compatibility like there is so much with astrology. i have barely scratched the surface

[weirdo09]

tell me abt miles x lucas au! are other characters shipped? 👀

ok so

i thought of it a while back bcuz they seem like a great pair n i was now like getting back into it

but yea, i was thinkin of hobie pavitr n margo meetin lucas and instantly fallin for him bcuz of his charm it’s literal bonus points if it’s afro latino lucas (i love him sm, could you tell?)

but like rio would absolutely love lucas because he has manners (*cough* *cough* doesn’t call miles’ parents by their first names *cough* *cough*) and he loves helping in the kitchen

i can see him and rio going on little dates as mother and son in law because lord knows rio is gonna force miles to keep lucas like how could he not? i feel like lucas n jeff would be a little iffy at first (with his experience w cops) but i feel like they would look at it and play basketball together.

aarons still alive in my head so him meeting lucas would be a trip like they say hi and everything the next you know he’s callin lucas his future nephew, miles’ just happy his family loves his boyfriend

OH MY GOD I FORGOT cookouts r the bomb once they get together, miles meeting the sinclairs omg erica would be suspicious at first bcuz of jason (she knew lucas was bi before he did) but then she warms up to him and asks him about his art and how long he’s plannin on staying in the family bcuz you gon stay forever. sue is the same way, she fell in love with miles and how he treats lucas and she’s callin him her son in law and constantly asking when miles’ coming over so she can have him taste her cooking, let’s just say, them boys never going hungry… 😅 miles and charles wouldn’t be so sure of each other, but they would eventually warm up, i feel charles had some homo feelings himself back in the day but repressed them and never acted on them, miles n him bond over that and the rest is historyz

i have so much to say about them,,, i’m so normal,,, they’re so boyfriend,,, ik ik zodiacs dont necessarily assure compatibility but they r so capricorn x leo ahhhhhhhhhh ‼️‼️‼️‼️

oh also lucas finding out about miles being spiderman would be so unserious i’m not lyin like lucas comes over to surprise mikes and he finds him in his suit he’s like “miles,,, YOURE SPIDERMAN?!” then it’s like this whole explanation and all lucas says is “i knew he was black,,,”

OMG lucas and billie (if shes ever introduced) he would treat her like his own sister, he already got a sister but him and billie would be so attached to each other like miles and lucas always have her and whenever lucas comes over the first thing is asks is where’s billie (miles is slightly hurt by this but lucas fixes it w kisses) like as soon as they get billie, it’s over. they pretending like she’s their own daughter and playing family together ahhhhhhh

you can tell i love them so much, i need to make headcanons i need to make more content THEYVE TAKEN OVER MY BRAIN ‼️‼️ 😭😭

[alexstorm]

It was in connection to his work but it’s easy to see how he can’t turn that off at home. I think it was during the AM press cycle. // thank you! I’m always interested to know how TLSP works so well despite it being much more of a joint venture with Miles having a lot of creative input alongside Alex. Alex always said it’s like being one half of a whole so I wonder how he found it not being the only person in charge? Is it less pressure because it’s a side project? Does Alex still have the majority of control over the project despite being a co-frontman and him saying they’re an equal partnership? I’d be interested to know if Alex is willing to give up more control working with Miles (than say for example when he worked with Alexandra Savior or the monkeys to an extent) or if he’s still got a tight hold on running that ship?

Going by my own control issues (😄) it’s way easier to give up control when you know the person you’re giving it up to is as capable as you. And let’s be honest that’s not the case with AM. And with Alexandra Savior it was just business anyway. He got brought in to lead the ship.

I think Alex thinks very highly of Miles’s musical capabilities. Maybe not the songwriting but certainly everything else. And like you said for the touring and promoting it must be a relief for him not to be the only one having to “perform”. In the studio … I don’t know but I once posted a pic from the album sleeve where they were in the studio and you could see a white board. The way it was written you could just tell that was an organised Capricorn. 😂

Chapter 5-6

CHAPTER V

AT A VENTURE

The voyage of the Abraham Lincoln was for a long time marked by no special incident. But one circumstance happened which showed the wonderful dexterity of Ned Land, and proved what confidence we might place in him.

The 30th of June, the frigate spoke some American whalers, from whom we learned that they knew nothing about the narwhal. But one of them, the captain of the Monroe, knowing that Ned Land had shipped on board the Abraham Lincoln, begged for his help in chasing a whale they had in sight. Commander Farragut, desirous of seeing Ned Land at work, gave him permission to go on board the Monroe. And fate served our Canadian so well that, instead of one whale, he harpooned two with a double blow, striking one straight to the heart, and catching the other after some minutes’ pursuit.

Decidedly, if the monster ever had to do with Ned Land’s harpoon, I would not bet in its favour.

The frigate skirted the south-east coast of America with great rapidity. The 3rd of July we were at the opening of the Straits of Magellan, level with Cape Vierges. But Commander Farragut would not take a tortuous passage, but doubled Cape Horn.

The ship’s crew agreed with him. And certainly it was possible that they might meet the narwhal in this narrow pass. Many of the sailors affirmed that the monster could not pass there, “that he was too big for that!”

The 6th of July, about three o’clock in the afternoon, the Abraham Lincoln, at fifteen miles to the south, doubled the solitary island, this lost rock at the extremity of the American continent, to which some Dutch sailors gave the name of their native town, Cape Horn. The course was taken towards the north-west, and the next day the screw of the frigate was at last beating the waters of the Pacific.

“Keep your eyes open!” called out the sailors.

And they were opened widely. Both eyes and glasses, a little dazzled, it is true, by the prospect of two thousand dollars, had not an instant’s repose. Day and night they watched the surface of the ocean, and even nyctalopes, whose faculty of seeing in the darkness multiplies their chances a hundredfold, would have had enough to do to gain the prize.

I myself, for whom money had no charms, was not the least attentive on board. Giving but few minutes to my meals, but a few hours to sleep, indifferent to either rain or sunshine, I did not leave the poop of the vessel. Now leaning on the netting of the forecastle, now on the taffrail, I devoured with eagerness the soft foam which whitened the sea as far as the eye could reach; and how often have I shared the emotion of the majority of the crew, when some capricious whale raised its black back above the waves! The poop of the vessel was crowded in a moment. The cabins poured forth a torrent of sailors and officers, each with heaving breast and troubled eye watching the course of the cetacean. I looked and looked, till I was nearly blind, whilst Conseil, always phlegmatic, kept repeating in a calm voice:

“If, sir, you would not squint so much, you would see better!”

But vain excitement! The Abraham Lincoln checked its speed and made for the animal signalled, a simple whale, or common cachalot, which soon disappeared amidst a storm of execration.

But the weather was good. The voyage was being accomplished under the most favourable auspices. It was then the bad season in Australia, the July of that zone corresponding to our January in Europe, but the sea was beautiful and easily scanned round a vast circumference.

The 20th of July, the tropic of Capricorn was cut by 105° of longitude, and the 27th of the same month we crossed the equator on the 110th meridian. This passed, the frigate took a more decided westerly direction, and scoured the central waters of the Pacific. Commander Farragut thought, and with reason, that it was better to remain in deep water, and keep clear of continents or islands, which the beast itself seemed to shun (perhaps because there was not enough water for him! suggested the greater part of the crew). The frigate passed at some distance from the Marquesas and the Sandwich Islands, crossed the tropic of Cancer, and made for the China Seas. We were on the theatre of the last diversions of the monster: and, to say truth, we no longer lived on board. Hearts palpitated, fearfully preparing themselves for future incurable aneurism. The entire ship’s crew were undergoing a nervous excitement, of which I can give no idea: they could not eat, they could not sleep—twenty times a day, a misconception or an optical illusion of some sailor seated on the taffrail, would cause dreadful perspirations, and these emotions, twenty times repeated, kept us in a state of excitement so violent that a reaction was unavoidable.

And truly, reaction soon showed itself. For three months, during which a day seemed an age, the Abraham Lincoln furrowed all the waters of the Northern Pacific, running at whales, making sharp deviations from her course, veering suddenly from one tack to another, stopping suddenly, putting on steam, and backing ever and anon at the risk of deranging her machinery, and not one point of the Japanese or American coast was left unexplored.

The warmest partisans of the enterprise now became its most ardent detractors. Reaction mounted from the crew to the captain himself, and certainly, had it not been for resolute determination on the part of Captain Farragut, the frigate would have headed due southward. This useless search could not last much longer. The Abraham Lincoln had nothing to reproach herself with, she had done her best to succeed. Never had an American ship’s crew shown more zeal or patience; its failure could not be placed to their charge—there remained nothing but to return.

This was represented to the commander. The sailors could not hide their discontent, and the service suffered. I will not say there was a mutiny on board, but after a reasonable period of obstinacy, Captain Farragut (as Columbus did) asked for three days’ patience. If in three days the monster did not appear, the man at the helm should give three turns of the wheel, and the Abraham Lincoln would make for the European seas.

This promise was made on the 2nd of November. It had the effect of rallying the ship’s crew. The ocean was watched with renewed attention. Each one wished for a last glance in which to sum up his remembrance. Glasses were used with feverish activity. It was a grand defiance given to the giant narwhal, and he could scarcely fail to answer the summons and “appear.”

Two days passed, the steam was at half pressure; a thousand schemes were tried to attract the attention and stimulate the apathy of the animal in case it should be met in those parts. Large quantities of bacon were trailed in the wake of the ship, to the great satisfaction (I must say) of the sharks. Small craft radiated in all directions round the Abraham Lincoln as she lay to, and did not leave a spot of the sea unexplored. But the night of the 4th of November arrived without the unveiling of this submarine mystery.

The next day, the 5th of November, at twelve, the delay would (morally speaking) expire; after that time, Commander Farragut, faithful to his promise, was to turn the course to the south-east and abandon for ever the northern regions of the Pacific.

The frigate was then in 31° 15′ north latitude and 136° 42′ east longitude. The coast of Japan still remained less than two hundred miles to leeward. Night was approaching. They had just struck eight bells; large clouds veiled the face of the moon, then in its first quarter. The sea undulated peaceably under the stern of the vessel.

At that moment I was leaning forward on the starboard netting. Conseil, standing near me, was looking straight before him. The crew, perched in the ratlines, examined the horizon, which contracted and darkened by degrees. Officers with their night glasses scoured the growing darkness; sometimes the ocean sparkled under the rays of the moon, which darted between two clouds, then all trace of light was lost in the darkness.

In looking at Conseil, I could see he was undergoing a little of the general influence. At least I thought so. Perhaps for the first time his nerves vibrated to a sentiment of curiosity.

“Come, Conseil,” said I, “this is the last chance of pocketing the two thousand dollars.”

“May I be permitted to say, sir,” replied Conseil, “that I never reckoned on getting the prize; and, had the government of the Union offered a hundred thousand dollars, it would have been none the poorer.”

“You are right, Conseil. It is a foolish affair after all, and one upon which we entered too lightly. What time lost, what useless emotions! We should have been back in France six months ago.”

“In your little room, sir,” replied Conseil, “and in your museum, sir, and I should have already classed all your fossils, sir. And the Babiroussa would have been installed in its cage in the Jardin des Plantes, and have drawn all the curious people of the capital!”

“As you say, Conseil. I fancy we shall run a fair chance of being laughed at for our pains.”

“That’s tolerably certain,” replied Conseil, quietly; “I think they will make fun of you, sir. And, must I say it?”

“Go on, my good friend.”

“Well, sir, you will only get your deserts.”

“Indeed!”

“When one has the honour of being a savant as you are, sir, one should not expose one’s self to——”

Conseil had not time to finish his compliment. In the midst of general silence a voice had just been heard. It was the voice of Ned Land shouting—

“Look out there! The very thing we are looking for—on our weather beam!”

CHAPTER VI

AT FULL STEAM

At this cry the whole ship’s crew hurried towards the harpooner,—commander, officers, masters, sailors, cabin boys; even the engineers left their engines, and the stokers their furnaces.

The order to stop her had been given, and the frigate now simply went on by her own momentum. The darkness was then profound, and however good the Canadian’s eyes were, I asked myself how he had managed to see, and what he had been able to see. My heart beat as if it would break. But Ned Land was not mistaken, and we all perceived the object he pointed to. At two cables’ length from the Abraham Lincoln, on the starboard quarter, the sea seemed to be illuminated all over. It was not a mere phosphoric phenomenon. The monster emerged some fathoms from the water, and then threw out that very intense but inexplicable light mentioned in the report of several captains. This magnificent irradiation must have been produced by an agent of great shining power. The luminous part traced on the sea an immense oval, much elongated, the centre of which condensed a burning heat, whose overpowering brilliancy died out by successive gradations.

“It is only an agglomeration of phosphoric particles,” cried one of the officers.

“No, sir, certainly not,” I replied. “Never did pholades or salpæ produce such a powerful light. That brightness is of an essentially electrical nature. Besides, see, see! it moves; it is moving forwards, backwards; it is darting towards us!”

A general cry rose from the frigate.

“Silence!” said the Captain; “up with the helm, reverse the engines.”

The steam was shut off, and the Abraham Lincoln, beating to port, described a semicircle.

“Right the helm, go ahead,” cried the Captain.

These orders were executed, and the frigate moved rapidly from the burning light.

I was mistaken. She tried to sheer off, but the supernatural animal approached with a velocity double her own.

We gasped for breath. Stupefaction more than fear made us dumb and motionless. The animal gained on us, sporting with the waves. It made the round of the frigate, which was then making fourteen knots, and enveloped it with its electric rings like luminous dust. Then it moved away two or three miles, leaving a phosphorescent track, like those volumes of steam that the express trains leave behind. All at once from the dark line of the horizon whither it retired to gain its momentum, the monster rushed suddenly towards the Abraham Lincoln with alarming rapidity, stopped suddenly about twenty feet from the hull, and died out,—not diving under the water, for its brilliancy did not abate,—but suddenly, and as if the source of this brilliant emanation was exhausted. Then it reappeared on the other side of the vessel, as if it had turned and slid under the hull. Any moment a collision might have occurred which would have been fatal to us. However, I was astonished at the manœuvres of the frigate. She fled and did not attack.

On the captain’s face, generally so impassive, was an expression of unaccountable astonishment.

“Mr. Aronnax,” he said, “I do not know with what formidable being I have to deal, and I will not imprudently risk my frigate in the midst of this darkness. Besides, how attack this unknown thing, how defend one’s self from it? Wait for daylight, and the scene will change.”

“You have no further doubt, captain, of the nature of the animal?”

“No, sir; it is evidently a gigantic narwhal, and an electric one.”

“Perhaps,” added I, “one can only approach it with a gymnotus or a torpedo.”

“Undoubtedly,” replied the captain, “if it possesses such dreadful power, it is the most terrible animal that ever was created. That is why, sir, I must be on my guard.”

The crew were on their feet all night. No one thought of sleep. The Abraham Lincoln, not being able to struggle with such velocity, had moderated its pace, and sailed at half speed. For its part, the narwhal, imitating the frigate, let the waves rock it at will, and seemed decided not to leave the scene of the struggle. Towards midnight, however, it disappeared, or, to use a more appropriate term, it “died out” like a large glow-worm. Had it fled? One could only fear, not hope. But at seven minutes to one o’clock in the morning a deafening whistling was heard, like that produced by a body of water rushing with great violence.

The captain, Ned Land, and I, were then on the poop, eagerly peering through the profound darkness.

“Ned Land,” asked the commander, “you have often heard the roaring of whales?”

“Often, sir; but never such whales the sight of which brought me in two thousand dollars. If I can only approach within four harpoon lengths of it!”

“But to approach it,” said the commander, “I ought to put a whaler at your disposal?”

“Certainly, sir.”

“That will be trifling with the lives of my men.”

“And mine too,” simply said the harpooner.

Towards two o’clock in the morning, the burning light reappeared, not less intense, about five miles to windward of the Abraham Lincoln. Notwithstanding the distance, and the noise of the wind and sea, one heard distinctly the loud strokes of the animal’s tail, and even its panting breath. It seemed that, at the moment that the enormous narwhal had come to take breath at the surface of the water, the air was engulfed in its lungs, like the steam in the vast cylinders of a machine of two thousand horse-power.

“Hum!” thought I, “a whale with the strength of a cavalry regiment would be a pretty whale!”

We were on the qui vive till daylight, and prepared for the combat. The fishing implements were laid along the hammock nettings. The second lieutenant loaded the blunderbusses, which could throw harpoons to the distance of a mile, and long duck-guns, with explosive bullets, which inflicted mortal wounds even to the most terrible animals. Ned Land contented himself with sharpening his harpoon—a terrible weapon in his hands.

At six o’clock day began to break; and, with the first glimmer of light, the electric light of the narwhal disappeared. At seven o’clock the day was sufficiently advanced, but a very thick sea fog obscured our view, and the best spy-glasses could not pierce it. That caused disappointment and anger.

I climbed the mizzen-mast. Some officers were already perched on the mast heads. At eight o’clock the fog lay heavily on the waves, and its thick scrolls rose little by little. The horizon grew wider and clearer at the same time. Suddenly, just as on the day before, Ned Land’s voice was heard:

“The thing itself on the port quarter!” cried the harpooner.

Every eye was turned towards the point indicated. There, a mile and a half from the frigate, a long blackish body emerged a yard above the waves. Its tail, violently agitated, produced a considerable eddy. Never did a caudal appendage beat the sea with such violence. An immense track, of dazzling whiteness, marked the passage of the animal, and described a long curve.

The frigate approached the cetacean. I examined it thoroughly.

The reports of the Shannon and of the Helvetia had rather exaggerated its size, and I estimated its length at only two hundred and fifty feet. As to its dimensions, I could only conjecture them to be admirably proportioned. While I watched this phenomenon, two jets of steam and water were ejected from its vents, and rose to the height of 120 feet; thus I ascertained its way of breathing. I concluded definitely that it belonged to the vertebrate branch, class mammalia.

The crew waited impatiently for their chief’s orders. The latter, after having observed the animal attentively, called the engineer. The engineer ran to him.

“Sir,” said the commander, “you have steam up?”

“Yes, sir,” answered the engineer.

“Well, make up your fires and put on all steam.”

Three hurrahs greeted this order. The time for the struggle had arrived. Some moments after, the two funnels of the frigate vomited torrents of black smoke, and the bridge quaked under the trembling of the boilers.

The Abraham Lincoln, propelled by her wonderful screw, went straight at the animal. The latter allowed it to come within half a cable’s length; then, as if disdaining to dive, it took a little turn, and stopped a short distance off.

This pursuit lasted nearly three-quarters of an hour, without the frigate gaining two yards on the cetacean. It was quite evident that at that rate we should never come up with it.

“Well, Mr. Land,” asked the captain, “do you advise me to put the boats out to sea?”

“No, sir,” replied Ned Land; “because we shall not take that beast easily.”

“What shall we do then?”

“Put on more steam if you can, sir. With your leave, I mean to post myself under the bowsprit, and if we get within harpooning distance, I shall throw my harpoon.”

“Go, Ned,” said the captain. “Engineer, put on more pressure.”

Ned Land went to his post. The fires were increased, the screw revolved forty-three times a minute, and the steam poured out of the valves. We heaved the log, and calculated that the Abraham Lincoln was going at the rate of 18½ miles an hour.

But the accursed animal swam too at the rate of 18½ miles an hour.

For a whole hour, the frigate kept up this pace, without gaining six feet. It was humiliating for one of the swiftest sailers in the American navy. A stubborn anger seized the crew; the sailors abused the monster, who, as before, disdained to answer them; the captain no longer contented himself with twisting his beard—he gnawed it.

The engineer was again called.

“You have turned full steam in?”

“Yes, sir,” replied the engineer.

The speed of the Abraham Lincoln increased. Its masts trembled down to their stepping holes, and the clouds of smoke could hardly find way out of the narrow funnels.

They heaved the log a second time.

“Well?” asked the captain of the man at the wheel.

“Nineteen miles and three-tenths, sir.”

“Clap on more steam.”

The engineer obeyed. The manometer showed ten degrees. But the cetacean grew warm itself, no doubt; for without straining itself, it made 19-3/10 miles.

What a pursuit! No, I cannot describe the emotion that vibrated through me. Ned Land kept his post, harpoon in hand. Several times the animal let us gain upon it.—“We shall catch it! we shall catch it!” cried the Canadian. But just as he was going to strike, the cetacean stole away with a rapidity that could not be estimated at less than thirty miles an hour, and even during our maximum of speed, it bullied the frigate, going round and round it. A cry of fury broke from everyone!

At noon we were no further advanced than at eight o’clock in the morning.

The captain then decided to take more direct means.

“Ah!” said he, “that animal goes quicker than the Abraham Lincoln. Very well! we will see whether it will escape these conical bullets. Send your men to the forecastle, sir.”

The forecastle gun was immediately loaded and slewed round. But the shot passed some feet above the cetacean, which was half a mile off.

“Another, more to the right,” cried the commander, “and five dollars to whoever will hit that infernal beast.”

An old gunner with a grey beard—that I can see now—with steady eye and grave face, went up to the gun and took a long aim. A loud report was heard, with which were mingled the cheers of the crew.

An old grey-bearded gunner . . . .

The bullet did its work; it hit the animal, but not fatally, and sliding off the rounded surface, was lost in two miles depth of sea.

The chase began again, and the captain, leaning towards me, said—

“I will pursue that beast till my frigate bursts up.”

“Yes,” answered I; “and you will be quite right to do it.”

I wished the beast would exhaust itself, and not be insensible to fatigue like a steam engine! But it was of no use. Hours passed, without its showing any signs of exhaustion.

However, it must be said in praise of the Abraham Lincoln, that she struggled on indefatigably. I cannot reckon the distance she made under three hundred miles during this unlucky day, November the 6th. But night came on, and overshadowed the rough ocean.

Now I thought our expedition was at an end, and that we should never again see the extraordinary animal. I was mistaken. At ten minutes to eleven in the evening, the electric light reappeared three miles to windward of the frigate, as pure, as intense as during the preceding night.

The narwhal seemed motionless; perhaps, tired with its day’s work, it slept, letting itself float with the undulation of the waves. Now was a chance of which the captain resolved to take advantage.

He gave his orders. The Abraham Lincoln kept up half steam, and advanced cautiously so as not to awake its adversary. It is no rare thing to meet in the middle of the ocean whales so sound asleep that they can be successfully attacked, and Ned Land had harpooned more than one during its sleep. The Canadian went to take his place again under the bowsprit.

The frigate approached noiselessly, stopped at two cables’ lengths from the animal, and following its track. No one breathed; a deep silence reigned on the bridge. We were not a hundred feet from the burning focus, the light of which increased and dazzled our eyes.

At this moment, leaning on the forecastle bulwark, I saw below me Ned Land grappling the martingale in one hand, brandishing his terrible harpoon in the other, scarcely twenty feet from the motionless animal. Suddenly his arm straightened, and the harpoon was thrown; I heard the sonorous stroke of the weapon, which seemed to have struck a hard body. The electric light went out suddenly, and two enormous waterspouts broke over the bridge of the frigate, rushing like a torrent from stem to stern, overthrowing men, and breaking the lashings of the spars. A fearful shock followed, and, thrown over the rail without having time to stop myself, I fell into the sea.

September 🏋🏽‍♂️ 2024 Monthly - Aries

Preshuffle: It’s like you can see a problem coming from a mile away and have plenty of time to prepare for it, you’re not even answering the phone 😆 Aries isn’t home.

Meditation: Some Devil 👺 in a costume laughing maniacally to a bunch of kids in costumes, it’s clearly Halloween. There’s a whole house decorated with spooky things and fog machines…planning early?

Main energy: 5 Cups rev

What’s going on in September:

10 Pentacles, Page of Wands rev, Knight of Wands rev, Knight of Cups rev & 6 Pentacles

First thing I heard was “these damn kids” and I died laughing 😂 Someone has them, and they’re the type to spring shit on you without asking, planning, or thinking of the practical elements involved - like there’s no way you’re buying a $300 costume for one night, they must be trippin’. Or they gave you an idea in July, you bought the thing, and now they’re changing their minds in September - you do not even care, they better go back to liking Peppa Pig because that’s what they got. Whoever and whatever is involved with you this month is getting the response of “Deal with it 😎” whether they like it or not. I’m also seeing forced family costumes, like everyone is dressing up as an Inside Out character and you don’t care how much they protest…they probably will.

Outside of children, this could be work or family members where everyone has gone their own way and someone in particular or (for most), you, are trying to wrangle everyone back together. One person doesn’t communicate with anyone and leaves everyone waiting for responses. Another person has a crazy relationship or intense commitments and they’re hard to get ahold of. A third person is kinda dreamy & delusional in your opinion, but what can you do? I don’t see you judging anyone (out loud), more like you just want everyone together again. It’s possible it’s always you doing this though, why can’t everyone else get their shit together for once? You’re the leader and director of this show, clearly, but…isn’t that what you want? Wouldn’t you be unhappy if you weren’t that person? Could be something to think about - for now though you’re questioning your role as in, do others reciprocate your efforts? And going from there. That’s fair 💜

Signs you may be dealing with:

Sagittarius, Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus & Aries

Oracle: ✨

29 Changes 🍁

Like ripples from the smallest drop of water in a pond, the smallest of changes in one’s life can bring about the greatest rewards. Think about changes you can make in your life. These do not have to be grand, sweeping changes. Judicious, small changes can add up to life changes after time. Think about small changes you can make now to add to your quality of life: clean out clutter, commit to walking every night after dinner, cut out processed food from your life. Alternately - big changes are coming your way.

Trust Your Path 🧭

Listen to intuition, seek direction, and embrace discovery. Answers reveal the journey within.

True Intentions 😏

Stay authentic and aligned, trusting your inner wisdom to guide you toward genuine fulfillment.

We enter into September as:

Righteous Raspberry 💅🏽:

“I have the same high standards for myself as I do for others.”

This is a message to lighten up! Notice your present attitude towards others. Perhaps you’re being too hard on yourself, and others as well. Allow others to be as they are. Supporting others around you creates allies. Watch your expectations, you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. You cannot be satisfied if you expect others to live up to standards you can’t even live up to. Besides, others are not you. Do it wrong, mess it up, have flaws. Trying to make the world perfect will only exhaust and alienate. Allow things to simply be. Look for what’s right in your world.

What is to be learned in September:

Royal Purple Brick 🧱

“She resists what she clings to.”

The fear of stepping out, of being abused, has grown so great that you no longer need a wall of fear to prevent you from living - a simple brick will do. Which of course symbolizes that what frightens you is much smaller than you imagine. What we resist, we cannot heal. Royal Purple Brick appears when we are resisting something, and may indicate a loss of faith. This is a sign of fear holding you back in some way and preventing you from moving forward. If you are experiencing pain, holding on tighter will only worsen the situation. Fear may also indicate you’re trying to save yourself from a path that will not serve you! Are you following your true passion? Is it divinely guided?

This can also indicate presently using your energy in a self-defeating way. Use your courage to let go of control and allow Spirit to come in and heal you. The promise of Royal Purple Brick is freedom after surrender. In letting go you may feel some discomfort, but you’ll also allow healing in. The fear of something is always greater than the actual event. This time period will be a life changing experience for you. Accept mystery. Release the brick and be free.

Purple may be a lucky color 💜

if you’re hearing BEFORE THE WORLD WAS BIG by GIRLPOOL playing, you have to know SAGE OGLE (SHE/THEY; FEMME-QUEER) is near by! the 29 year old LIBRARIAN AND CLERK AT FINDERS KEEPERS has been in denver for, like, FOUR YEARS. they’re known to be quite FRAGILE, but being COMPASSIONATE seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble FLORENCE PUGH. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those ECLECTIC, HOMEY, HANDPICKED, AND FOLKY vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around the UNIVERSITY DISTRICT long enough! 

full name: Sage Aubrey Ogle. | nicknames: aubs (always looking for more). | gender and pronouns: femme-queer, she/they. | age: twenty-nine. | sexuality: bisexual. | date of birth: june 26. | sun sign: cancer ( loyal, creative, sensitive, insecure. ) | moon sign: gemini ( childish, witty, impulsive, outgoing. ) | rising sign: capricorn ( hardworking, honest, sensitive, ambitious. ) | tarot birth card: strength. | place of birth:  charleston, west virginia. | occupation: librarian at the denver public library and clerk at finders keepers thrift store.

she can be found in the last drops of rain hitting hot pavement, soft greens and purples that blend together in the heat of parties, dissonant but purposeful notes in punk songs, awkward lyrics that paint too many stories at once, the aglet barely hanging onto worn out shoelaces that hang onto even more worn out sneakers, and the moment of peace you get when you walk into your apartment after a busy day at work

Sage Ogle was born in a local Charleston, WV hospital -- the air was out, the room humid, and her parents immediately doting on her as she wails her first cries.

They grew up in creek (crick) beds and foothills. Poison ivy was normal and chamomile treatments were well-known every summer. Childhood was filled with puddles, treehouses, and lightning bug earrings.

Deep in the woods in a tucked-away house, she could do what she wanted when school wasn't in session. Most of the time she grabbed a book and curled up under a walnut tree in her backyard -- occasionally opening a nut when she got hungry and dinner wasn't ready yet. Her closest neighbors were half a mile away but loved when she came bearing gifts of cornbread or fresh-baked pie. Most of the time she played with their kids, helped clean up afterward, and came running back home just as the sunset.

As a child she wanted to fit in with everyone, to find space for each person that she could -- which created a bit of a chameleon with no distinct set of self. Her friends were all over the place, which put her at odds with different groups during respective dramas -- but in the end she was always a mediator for them and gave some positive solution. Except for her cousins Daisy and Jeb -- they still don't talk and she truly believes they never will.

This lack of affinity for self left her at quite the crossroads once she graduated from WVU with a degree in English and a minor in gender and sexuality studies -- she didn't know who she was, or what she wanted in life. Hell -- they hardly even knew who they were.

Eventually they figured a big move, a big chop, and a big change was needed. They sold everything they ever owned, bought a beat-up SUV, and trailed their way across the states until the car eventually broke down in Denver. Instead of getting the car fixed, she sold it to the first person who asked about it, used her savings and car money to rent a dinky little apartment in the Montebello District, and began her life in Colorado.

They immediately got a job at Finders Keepers and started to grow in Denver. It wasn't long after that they landed their gig at the library, too. Now they're involved with the city and they know what's going on. The library isn't just for books, it's a place where all people go to learn, a place for resources, and a place for shelter.

After a year and a half in Denver she moved a little closer to the library and upgraded her housing to the university district.

Every day she thinks about applying for grad school, going into library science or public administration -- but every day she settles for the status quo and keeps her safety in routine.

wanted connections: I'm so up for anything! Partners in crime that post radical book displays in the library. A distraction that comes into the thrift store and causes a line. Activist pal that won't skip a beat about protesting with them. A mentor with blurred lines after a night at the bar. The bad taste in her mouth after a bad hook up. I'm here for it all, let's goooo.

Sunday 5th March 2023

Yesterday's trip is still on our minds and the 180km section of the Matilda Highway between Winton and Longreach still seems incredible to the sensitivities of a delicate English disposition. One long straight road; no deviation and not a single property in sight. Not one!

The overnight stop in our Motel was as endurable as it was practical. Fundamentally we were not there to experience the joys of Barcaldine, a fair town in its own way I'm sure. We were there to break the journey before removing ourselves to Emerald. In penance perhaps for this attitude we were awakened at 6.30am by road train rigs thundering along the highway that brushed past the reception office nearby and the lady on the little electric buggy that plied around the cabins knocking doors as she delivered breakfasts. Couple this too with the sounds of happy tradies with their early start to the day closing cabin doors and firing the diesel pick-ups, off to earn an honest day's crust. Altruism comes in many forms and the gift of life is prescious and all frogs need a helping hand from time to time. So it was for the very small animal of this species spotted desperately paddling around the swimming pool as we enjoyed breakfast. Clearly he couldn't get out unassisted so, knowing deadly things exist on this continent, a coffee mug worked adequately to beam him up and out into his future. One life saved.

Now I have to confess that I might have been hasty in condemning Barcaldine too quickly. It was on inspection quite a fair little town with a bit of history to it. It sits on the Tropic of Capricorn for a start. It is perhaps best known for its links with the great Shearer's Strike of 1891 and what a to do that was as you well know. This was seen as the first major industrial dispute in Australia. Wool prices were falling and pastoralists were proposing dropping the shearers wages from £1 per 100 sheep shorn if the employer was not happy with the work done. This didn't go down well so the Shearers Union and the Queensland Labourers Union met in Barcaldine to set up a strike committee. Much discussion took place, talks broke down, employers brought in scabs who were protected by the police and militia and it sort of went down hill from there. 1500 shearers met these forces arriving by train. Both sides were armed but few shots were fired. An armed uprising was avoided but 13 strike committee members and leaders were arrested and jailed. With them out of the way the strike lost its direction but agreement was reached resulting in the union being recognised but no more pay and the pastoralists were still able to employ non union members. The longer term result of this conflict was the formation of the Workers Political Party the following year, and hence the first Labour party in the World. As a symbol of the struggle the Tree of Knowledge (Ghost Gum tree) was planted outside of the Railway Station. Sadly someone poisoned it in 2006 and a new one was planted by the union hall. Well good old Barcaldine played a really important role in Australian history.

Driving out of Barcaldine a large roadside sign said Speedo Checks - 10kms. Do they check the elastic?

Further down the Capricorn Highway We came into Jericho. A sleepier place you could not imagine. A ghost town with tumble weed might be an appropriate image. Jericho achieved its name because it is built on the Jordan River. The town commissioned a very charming sculpture called the Crystal Trumpeters depicting the story of Joshua and the walls tumbling down at the sound of trumpets. A very unusual and unexpected piece of imaginative art for such a small place. We pushed on, stopping briefly in Alpha for lunch. (No omega as far as I could see) filling up with petrol since the notice informed us there was no more fuel for 135kms and we were a bit low! Carrying on we crossed the stunning Drummond Range, such different scenery after hundreds of miles of bush.

Now sitting outside our room for the night enjoying a glass or two of SB at the latest in our collection of Motels, this one in Emerald. Can't say I like it much, for some reason there's lots of noisy kids about, but it is only one night after all! I suspect the whole bottle will go.

Jim MORRISON

The forever mystery in rock and roll 🎸 mysteries that will go unknown forever , he died in France 🇫🇷, 3july 1971, he was very initiative for his time, and ahead of his time, he had a father who didn’t like him getting into music he wanted him to do what he did. Was common for Boomer parents., not all of them obviously because we have everyone different, but they definitely clashed and I think it caused a lot of conflict in his life. I had a friend once years ago who showed me his poetry and it was something else.,

Obviously, he taken a lot of acid and other drugs, Very sharp, but very twisted, that’s why I wanna put it. You have to remember this man is an Aquarius rising., these guys are the oddball, it’s quite rare, I haven’t met many of them and the ones you see they have quite distinctive faces, like Leo rising their opposite. Anyway, if you were staying in France in like a Jewish town., he fitted really well, had been arrested, in America for indecent exposure and something else, but he said he performed on stage said that he didn’t do it but who knows? I reckon he probably did., he also had his Mars in Gemini don’t fuck about, well they do they touch any drug, but they do have that ulster thing I can imagine he is quite a hard work man to live with, I am trying I’m tapping into my psychic energy, my astrology knowledge, with mars in Gemini, and an Aquarius rising , these man live this man loves to party also wanted to make a change.

I can see it from just looking at his, quite a dissociated man, and that Mars and Gemini also gives up dissociation I have, that is my opinion on Mars and Gemini, they can be miles away but they are very sharp sharp as a tac.

I’m feeling very Quite sad and cold energy, not cold as in he is cold but sadness and that comes with being a Saturn 🪐 ruled person uranus world person, my mum who is a Capricorn moon and has a Capricorn stellium , is they have been hurt from an early age?, And they make some of them , a lot colder in the world.🌍 .

Any woman that was with him would’ve found him hard work like can imagine he got his places from sex and drugs and women, which is partly sex, I feel like there was one woman who probably knew him better than the other, and really could tell him and feel his, someone told me who the love of his life is, sometimes I do like to these without as much knowledge, and see if I’m on the market at all, I do feel that he had someone who really he confident of the opposite sex .

Since no autopsy , was It’s no water he was performed back then, tends to go with the theory of, from heroin and alcohol,🍷 . Others say that he faked his own death. And one of his friends said he made those rumours up himself., as someone who is with someone who has their mars in Gemini, I’m going to say that that’s probably not true, it also could be because these people like to drink people and make people believe stuff that ain’t true
