#isolation as per astrology

WHAT IS THE ASTROLOGICAL REASON BEHIND MY DEEP ISOLATION, A CASE STUDY

The native wants to know about the astrological reason behind his deep isolation, people giving false hopes, and unknown fears as per Vedic astrology of his horoscope.

Based on the given birth details DOB October 2, 1996 at 6:30 pm in Pakpattan, Pakistan and the analysis is done as per KP Vedic astrology padhatti / system.

The plotted horoscope shows mesh lagna / aries ascendant with moon in 2nd house, mars in 4th house, mercury n venus in 5th house, sun n rahu in 6th house, Jupiter in 9th house and Saturn n ketu in 12th house.

The moon is in mrighasira nakshatra in vrushab rashi / moon in taurus sign and the current ruling mahadasha is Jupiter.

In order to learn about the feeling of isolation of the native as per his horoscope, one need to study the 1st cuspal sublord. The study of the current ruling mahadasha will reveal how the dasha lords are going to give their results on the events in the life of the native during their ruling periods.

From the horoscope the 1st cuspal sublord is venus and its signifying 2,3,5 and 7th house in the planet level, ketu signifying 6,9,10,11 and 12th house in the nakshatra level and moon signifying 2 and 5th house in the sublord level.

Ketu is in conjunction with Saturn signifying 11 and 12th house.

The current ruling mahadasha is Jupiter and its strongly signifying 9 and 10th house as its untenanted in the planet level, venus signifying 2,3,5 and 7th house in the sublord level and mercury signifying 4 and 6th house in the sub sublord level.

From the analysis I conclude that many a time in life for certain period the native will experience loneliness and loose hopes and then again, he will recover.

Currently he is experiencing the loneliness is for a temporary and will fade out after the year 2026. For the time being self realization will serve as the best remedy for the native to understand and have self control over the situations.

A little tweak in his thinking pattern and becoming pro-active will definitely help him to overcome the situation.

Ketu Kinship p1.

disclaimer: as per usual, all my posts are based entirely on fictional dynamics and themes that perfectly tie into the nakshatras of the characters/actors. when talking about onscreen pairings, i am not promoting anything. don't ask me about compatibility, i'm simply a dedicated consumer of fictional media who just so happens to be obsessed with the meanings and storytelling behind nakshatras. if this resonates, though, i am glad. but when it comes to real life, i'm not intrigued by astrological pairings. this is for fun!

The Chinese drama Love Between Fairy and Devil is so Mula-coded. The way Mula is derived from the Sanskrit word for "root" and the Fairy, played by a Mula Sun native, gets to the tree of emotions of the Devil (who is the epitome of a Ketu power-hungry emotionless tyrant, mind you). She finds this tree, which is representative of his psyche, to be completely damaged and frozen, and she unintentionally heals his roots (which gets to his core issues, and hidden parts of himself). Ketu bringing forth truth and healing, this debilitates him, and she becomes his weakness.

Although, there's a toxic aspect that I just explored of the Ketu-Ketu pairings, especially in het pairings, where the Ketu man fixates on the Ketu woman and he traps her, selfishly taking away her autonomy. Of course, it's romanticized, but this is yet again another Ketu man doing too much because he can't healthily express his feelings (as they begin to surface, all thanks to her Mula abilities) and he overexerts himself, his genuine feelings for her being in conflict with his tyrannical instincts (another power trip for the Ketuvian).

The one astrological influence I found to go perfectly head-to-head with Ketuvians' force is Rahu, and vice versa. I will be getting to that post someday; but Rahuvians can be the least tolerant and more resistant of them. The same way Sun-Saturn pairings function. Being of equal polarity, there can be enough tension and conflict to showcase their refusal to submit to each other's force as opposed to natives of the same rulership.

And also, the Beauty-&-the-Beast element I talked about is there between Fairy and Devil, of course, as I've explored with this specific nodal pairing before. Even in the other details of the drama, such as her friends being plants the same way Belle's friends are kitchen utensils and teacups. Her isolation speaks to her Ketu-rulership, and her getting locked up by the Ketu male she's supposedly meant to fall in love with is literally Beauty-&-the-Beast. Except the Beast here is a murderous god, the actual biggest threat in the universe and whatnot. While Punarvasu's Beast was merely a vain, narcissistic prince, compared to Mula as the Beast who is initially extremely villainous and darker (as explored before in my wolf in disguise post, how nodals are the evil beasts everyone has the right to be wary of). Of course, as you can see how the media has always been obsessed with humanizing & redeeming murderous male characters, the Beauty-&-the-Beast tale is of two Ketuvians here.

Although, not to shit on Ketu-Ketu entirely.

It is interesting that (fictional) Ketu-ruled natives, though seen in a symbiotic dynamic with Jupiter-ruled natives, are magnetized by those of the same rulership, and vice versa; to the point of certain medias showcasing a better understanding of the Ketuvian through other Ketuvians. It is also interesting how fans of these shows even prefer these pairings, sensing way more chemistry and connection than expected, such as;

In the love triangle between Joey Potter, Pacey Witter, and Dawson Leery; Pacey Witter and Joey Potter are the perfect endgame to pretty much majority of the fandom. Initially Joey loves Dawson for his Jupiterian tendencies, but even the viewers grow to realize that Pacey actually sees her for who she is. While Dawson, being so full of himself, remains with a version of Joey in his head that just isn't real (Jupiter's idealization getting in the way of reality). The way Pacey sees Joey goes to Ketu's energy cutting through superficial layers to get to the essence of things. Pacey gets to look into Joey's dreams, aspirations and true self more than Dawson will ever.

With Rory Gilmore, Dean, and Jess; it’s almost the exact same thing. Rory and Dean are initially drawn to each other’s polarity and seem like a fine fit. Then, Jess comes along, and his presence gives us a more real version of Rory. They have that effect on each other where, while they’re so magnetized by one another, they feel so grounded and seen when they’re together. He validates important aspects of herself that we never see Dean do.

Alex Russo and Mason Greybeck. Her first relationship was with Dean (another Punarvasu by the name Dean lol), and some can argue it’s her best. But her relationship with Mason demonstrates a deeper understanding and appreciation of her character compared to her relationship with Dean. Her second relationship was pretty much the most iconic on the show. With Mason, Alex was just seen, he gave her space to thrive even in her recklessness. [Also Mason's unhealthy fixation on Alex showed in episodes post their breakup. Typical.]

With Clara Oswald and the Eleventh Doctor and the Twelfth, this is another clear example that Ketu-Ketu is the best fit in my opinion. Clara had only become an equal beside Twelfth, developing a deeper, more real, connection with him because she is seen and through him her character thrives more. Clara with Eleventh were a stereotypical Ketu-Jupiter pair, mostly centered around him and his Jupiterian abundance with no room for her to grow or be grounded in a meaningful way as Jupiter doesn't challenge Ketu or pierce through Ketu.

Her character beside the Eleventh Doctor was based on his fascination with her, not supporting her growth or complexity as Jupiter has the tendency to idealize. With the Twelfth Doctor, he challenges her in ways that force her to confront her fears, truths and insecurities. This is the Ketuvian piercing through the other Ketuvian, adding even more emotional depth to their connection.

As Ketuvians can be extremely grounding from their ability to see beyond things and destroy illusion, it comes as no surprise that such natives can be validated by one another just based on perception and the ability to brutally tell things as they are alone. For example, in the film, Thoroughbreds, Mula Sun Olivia Cooke plays a character who is marked by her blunt honesty and emotional detachment, contrasting the performative and often illusory behaviour of the characters around her. Being that she is Ketuvian, she is the grounding force that drives the movie, forcing Ashwini Sun Anya Taylor Joy's character to confront the darker, more complex aspects of herself and her insecurities. The Mula native's candidness acts as a mirror for the Ashwini native who hasn't had anyone pierce through her as she did. The unwavering authenticity of the Mula native encourages her to reconsider her own identity.

This way of Ketuvians seeing each other always comes with an unspoken acceptance and understanding of each other. They seem to initially function like Solar people who hate having expectations put on them as it restricts them. Ketu people hate falsities projected onto them, and when they’re with people who limit them as they try to navigate their own identity, or with people who don’t see them and have the Ketuvian center them instead, they become suffocated. It comes as no surprise that when another Ketu person walks into their life, they feel so validated and grounded, as the truth that's always existed within them is forcibly pulled out and mirrored. In general, without my dramatic ass interpretation, Ketu people are just naturally more inclined to the company of each other because there’s a theme of belonging, as headless and directionless as Ketu is.

First, we want to discuss some differences in astrological disciplines that may highlight the importance of Neptune’s essence and what it brings to our awareness.  In Vedic Astrology, Neptune is not considered so much because the “Rishis” did not count outer planets like Pluto, Neptune and Uranus to understand the individual. Some Vedic Astrologers will explain that it is because those planets are further away so this justifies in their eyes why they do not affect the individual as much as the collective. 

When looking at the zodiac sign, Pisces, Western Astrologers will say the lord is Neptune.  Vedic Astrologers will say the lord of Pisces is Jupiter.  Here is where we will combine the disciplines to arrive at an important distinction between planets.  In Vedic Astrology, Ketu is used to describe “spirituality” or giving one intuition.  Here is our assessment of the three planets:

Jupiter- is about knowledge, religion, higher education, abundance, expansion, wealth and prosperity.  In the Vedic system, this is Pisces’ lord, but these characteristics are closely aligned with the zodiac sign Sagittarius. These are often the highly educated, studious and morally upright theologians.

Ketu- the South Node is often depicted as providing intuition or making someone more spiritual, according to many Vedic Astrologers.  Essentially, Ketu holds the akashic records so it will make us privy to the past lives or abilities we brought to this life.  This is what is manifested as present life intuition that comes from the subconscious memories of the house where Ketu sits.  But, is Ketu really about spirituality? Ketu is known for shaking our lives up and cutting away things.  It is the unwanted reminder that we are an illusion.  Ketu is a reminder of the true Self.  This is beyond spirituality.  This is about moksha.  Moksha is about dissolution back into the void; back to nothing.  Some of the sages who taught self-realization did not condone the rituals and spiritual practices that emerged later, but why? Because that created another material block that the mind would cling to, essentially taking us away from the underlying truth about the individual Self that lies beneath and within everything and everyone. 

Neptune- this brings us to the importance of Neptune.  Neptune fills this gap between religion and the higher studies of Jupiter and the self-realization that Ketu attempts to help us achieve over many lifetimes.  Neptune expresses the 12th house perfectly with idealism, subconscious, intuition, escapism and the like.  The 12th house is not Ketu’s original home per se (if the nodes really had one), but it’s comfortable there because it is a place away from reality, where we can begin to explore through isolation, contemplation and self-reflection.  This explains how Neptune can be seen more like a bridge.

The timeline for many is to expand through knowledge and family life with Jupiter. Saturn brings the experience and practicality of the material while helping us to fulfill our karmas, keeping us balanced. Neptune is the bridge that helps us connect back to the Source during the life process with spirituality and intuition, while Ketu takes things away at various points in each lifetime to help us arrive, finally, at the truth of self-realization. 

Here is what one might experience with Neptune through the houses:

Neptune in the 1st House:   You may be very idealistic about your sense of self and present yourself as more passive, easy-going and compassionate upon first impressions of you.  You may also come across as empathetic and kind.  If your first house is a fire sign this could create steam. Neptune may bring a steamy nature to your assertion which can tone down harsh initial impressions of you into a passion for more idealistic goals. You may struggle with identity in how you want to come across, changing frequently, hoping idealistically that others will accept you as you are.

Neptune in the 2nd House: You may come across as caring and empathetic in your speech. When it comes to your family you may also feel deeply connected to them.  You may have strong idealistic views about resources, wealth accumulation and your value system.  This position might make you generous with your wealth because of a desire to assist others, however Neptune here might make it difficult to know when to discriminate in what you share and when.  Though idealism could make you plan your finances out.  It could also present the opposite challenge which is lack of practicality around earning wealth and sharing it.

Neptune in the 3rd House: This position might make you a charismatic or dreamy communicator with an ability to express yourself creatively through writing, cinema and other forms of art. You may be an emotionally intelligent communicator, adapting well in networking circles.  By being able to understand or pick up on the feelings of others, this might make you a great counselor or advisor. On the downside, you may tend to remain passive and avoid conflict, or consistent in the way you come across to others as your nature may be changeable. Though this position may lead to an interest in artistic, spiritual or philosophical work, remaining practical about how you go about it will yield the best results.

Neptune in the 4th House: This Neptune might make you very spiritual or philosophical in your home.  You may feel like your home is your sanctuary so you may seek a deep sense of peace and harmony at home, too. This position might make you absorb very easily the feelings of your loved ones and you may be the shoulder everyone wants to cry on or provide them with the brighter side or some philosophical or spiritual insight as to how to see things. You might thrive better in your home environment if you make sure you get some alone time and even though it might offend others, you can gently set boundaries when their energy and emotions are starting to consume you.

Neptune in the 5th House:  This position might make you a hopeless romantic that loves to love, and you may be more passive or understanding in your romantic relationships with a lot of ideals.   You may also be a very easy-going parent that is very caring, supportive and a source of comfort for your children.  Perhaps you will develop an interest towards Piscean topics of education like spirituality, religion, arts, cinema, creativity of all kinds, being able to get lost in such topics.  This could also make you an intuitive stock-trader or one who can foresee speculative gains.  In all of these areas, one has to be cautioned not to be a pushover with lovers and children, and getting a more practical routine or plan in your educational pursuits will be helpful. Not expecting lovers and children to be your ideal will help you navigate the practicality of these relationships.   

Neptune in the 6th House: This might make you a servant in your work or want to help animals or the underprivileged because of a universal connectedness and desire to share and be humanitarian. You may be extremely intuitive in how to handle these environments or even legal issues, your health and obstacles.  This might make you idealistic about how this is all supposed to work, though.  Piscean energy is not exactly about putting up a good fight and this is the house of enemies, obstacles and disease.  Bringing an element of practicality here if your Neptune is giving too much idealism can help you navigate these areas of life. 

Neptune in the 7th House:  You may bring a spiritual, intuitive nature to your long-term partnerships, business and marriage.  This will make you charming, dreamy, caring and approachable.  You are likely a great counselor or therapist to others, your spouse, colleagues or clients.  This may make you a bit delusional at times about what is really going on with these sets of people or even idealistic, which may create problems in recognizing how to navigate the Neptunian waters present in this house of “other” and relationships.  If you learn to use your intuitive abilities to see what is happening and develop the ability to approach conflict and handle people who can take advantage, you can end up using this energy to your benefit and the benefit of others.

Neptune in the 8th House: Neptune here could make you intuitive in handling joint assets, your in-laws and deep emotional connections.  This is tricky territory for the original house of Scorpio.  You may struggle with the power dynamics here and it could make you get taken advantage of because of your idealism in the conflicts or dynamics of the connections.  This could make you want to explore the occult, hidden world and explore the darker side of life.

Neptune in the 9th House:  The ocean of intuition and spirituality hits the path of dharma, teaching and higher learning.  You may be a natural guru or spiritually intuitive teacher.  If none of those things, perhaps you bring a deeper, dreamy aspect to your manner of teaching other subject matters. This could make you a bit of an idealist in your beliefs, making it hard for you to grapple with people who deviate from your views.  Compassion and understanding may be at the heart of your beliefs, too.

Neptune in the 10th House: You bring a spiritual undertone to your work and public image.  You may also be in a career, hobby or work that allows you to express your intuitive abilities and spiritual values.  Be sure to stay grounded when dealing with the boss and your colleagues.  This could make you a bit dreamy about people in the workplace, making it difficult for you to handle the grim reality that people are not always ideally one way or another. 

Neptune in the 11th House:  You bring your spiritual prowess to the masses, social networks and groups around you.  This helps you serve and bring humanitarian qualities to these places so you may feel like a natural servant to the world who cares about philanthropy and giving of knowledge, spiritual wisdom and compassion.  Spirituality and humanitarianism could be a huge part of your desires, gains and wishes since this is the house for such things.  Masses of people do not always respond the way we want or think they will in our head.  Just remember to keep a level head about your plans to enlighten the world.

Neptune in the 12th House:  This is the natural house of Neptune since in Western Astrology it rules over Pisces.  In general, that may make it most comfortable here (depending on the sign it is in and the house aspects).  This might make you feel more comfortable with being alone or you may have a rich inner world where you enjoy your subconscious, spirituality and prayer time.  You may receive messages from higher beings and have a deep intuitive sense about things.  This does make you predisposed to escapism, though, so being mindful of how you use this energy to be sure it’s for your highest good and not leading you towards addiction is important.

→ Venus Through the Houses 🪷 (the fourth house)

The manifestations of having the planet Venus through the houses in the natal chart, in a wider perspective, without being predictable about it.

DISCLAIMER 1: I am NOT a professional astrologer, traditional or modern. I study astrology for a few years, and this is a collection of what I've learned, and what I've seen manifested in real life.

DISCLAIMER 2: Use caution and discernment when reading, and understand that this post is about one isolated planet in one isolated house in a chart. There are 12 houses, 6 major planets, 3 outer planets, and at least 5 possible major aspects between planets in your chart. Those detail can and WILL affect how the energy shows up in your life personally, so it might not apply to you. Everybody is unique.

💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Venus in the 4th house 🏡🏩

What a lovely, deep and rich placement, this one. I try not to overhype nor demonize any placement, because each one has its own moments, good and bad. But this one is very cute. I'll be honest with you and say that it does NOT guarantee a fairytale, but if it's well-aspected, if other parts of the chart agree with, it could be inducing to very beautiful things.

Imagine the planet of love making her literal home in your house of feelings, the deepest most private part of your chart. Here, feelings gush out like a waterfall. Venus in the 4H lives on cloud 9. It lives in a state of buzzing romance 24/7. Venus here also breaks her natural character of wanting to be pampered and waited on, and she wants to do the nurturing herself. Of course, she wants to feel cared for back too. Very generous Venus.

The good 😊:

Very nurturing people. Warm and welcoming.

Great listeners and very empathetic.

Beautiful way with words. Not in a poetic sense, but in an emotionally sensitive way. They know what to say, when to say it and how to say to make someone feel loved and protected.

Protective of loved ones, but not in an aggressive way.

Tend to be tender, sweet and gentle.

Very angelic demeanor. Might have cherub face too.

Knows how to make any place a home.

Is somewhat of a leader (since it is a cardinal house), but in a Cancer-like way. It leads not because it commands people, but because people just trust them to lead and feel safe with them, fully believing they will do the best to provide love and care and protection.

Put their heart and soul into whatever they do.

Knows how to build a genuine connection.

Great mothers. (And fathers).

Can be good cooks or bakers (but I myself consider baking part of cooking, so I don't separate them).

Romantics at heart. About all things.

Might like children a lot and want a big family of their own.

Could possibly get along with their family very well.

Can instantly make others feel safe and trust them.

Knows how to translate their feelings.

Good emotional intelligence.

The bad 😠:

Might be prone to melodrama, and could be overdramatic.

Could be too cautious with their feelings, to a point they become guarded.

Might be stingy and hold on to things too tightly.

Could "eat their feelings" when stressed, which could lead to unwanted weight gain, an eating disorder, shame around food, or not learning healthy ways to self-regulate.

Family could be ALL up in their business all the time. Serious boundaries issues.

Could be nitpicky, just as much as Virgos. Could be a snob about cleanliness.

Slight tendency to take their feelings out on other people.

This one is gonna be hard to say, and hard to read, so, please READ WITH CAUTION – it's not about everyone. Just SOME people: Could be the type who threatens to kill themselves if a lover tries to end the relationship. Depending on how problematic the person is, might actually go ahead and actually do harm themselves, not bc they actually want to end themselves, but to guilt their ex into not leaving.

Inability to let go of toxic relationships because they feel bad for the person, or don't wanna lose what's familiar, and might wear rose-colored glasses around people from their childhood. 4H Venus is like a combination of Scorpio and Pisces Venus.

Prone to immaturity fits, wanting to be babied by others.

Could struggle with a nasty little victim complex.

Could have a "me, me, me!" attitude, but in a different way than 1H. It's more "But, what about ME and MY FEELINGS?!" kind of way.

Could struggle to spend their hard-earned money on themselves because they keep giving it away to their family/friends/buying things for the house.

Might overlook themselves physically and emotionally because they keep waiting that others are gonna take care of them instead.

Forms bonds too quickly, get too eager, might scare people away.

In love 💕:

Wants to formalize quickly.

Prefers committed relationships.

Wants to have a family.

Will devote themselves to their partner.

Could get hurt easily in love.

Emotional manipulation.

Or could just be the utmost sweetheart.

Acts of service and quality time as love language.

A little jealous from time to time.

Will try to harmonize and find a common ground when in disputes or disagreements.

Could do some shady shit behind their partner's back to fulfill personal dreams (e.g.: stopping taking contraceptives without telling them to get pregnant without the partner's consent, because they want kids.)

Could struggle with boundaries themselves and overstep a lot. Might also force themselves into private parts of their lover's life that the person hadn't felt comfortable giving access to yet.

Could confuse drama and emotional turmoil with passion and might even romanticize it and think that if they just conquer it, love will be like a movie.

Could have a food compulsion.

Could struggle with laziness, even more so than 2H Venus.

The type to cook, clean, sew, nurse and therapize their partner.

Wants to feel safe and loved above all else.

Will share all the parts to them with their partner.

Will put the children before the marriage/union after having them together.

Will step into some form of a traditional role one way or another, regardless if they are male, female or otherwise.

Lasting love. Love that leaves a mark on their psyche.

Big hearts, even bigger hearts in love.

Makes a lot of plans and dreams they wanna achieve with their loved one.

Drama queen when feeling slighted.

Not a stranger to the occasional "psycho girlfriend" behavior, regardless if they are a male. That's usually a sign they are emotionally exhausted at that point, though.

Easy to love, even easier to give love.

Might preserve the relationship a lot, shielding it from the world.

"You and me against the world" type of relationships.

Usually successful in marriage.

MASTER LIST

[makingspiritualityreal]

I’m playing Silent Hill 2 and while reading the walkthrough, I found a very interesting explanation to one of the puzzles, involving certain symbology.

The author of the article has no affiliation with astrology and so they identified the symbols as Alchemical, which they are, but what they weren’t aware of is their spiritual significance. As an Astrologer, I took notice of it immediately and was intrigued, because the explanation gives excellent background for possible planetary remediation linked to natural metals associated with planets.

I’m gonna skip vitriol and philosopher’s stone and move right to the planets.

The first one on the list is Saturn, being associated with lead. That is an intriguing piece of information, giving the fact that lead is something people are trying to get rid of and purify themselves from in their lives for the sake of health, as well as it’s the material used to produce bullets or chains, both associated with death or imprisonment. It’s a heavy material, associated with all those difficult karmic things like bondage or disease. On the plus side, it is also used for protection from danger, such as radiation shielding or excessive sound isolation. If you’re struggling with ego and need to humble yourself, or feel like you need to be isolated from external stimuli,this metal may be excellent for spiritual purposes.

The second symbol on the list is Jupiter, associated with tin. That is such a curious association, given that tin is put on cans to protect our food from corroded metal, and Jupiter rules protection and nourishment. The metal was used historically for variety of purposes, and if you research it you will see how wide its usefulness spreads. In appropriate form and small quantities, it’s even safe to ingest, again giving it that Jupiter connotation.

The next symbol is Mars, linked with iron. Iron is the cheapest, most basic but also the most universal metal for tool production, and fits perfectly with Mars’ simple logical tool usage. It’s almost primitive, yet so functional and practical, as our ancestors knew.

I’m going to lump the Sun and the Moon together, because it is a widely known fact of astrology that as the king and the queen they both rule the most precious metals, gold and silver respectively.

Venus’ ties to copper are also well known in spiritual circles, which is why copper is used in high quality cooking apparel but also as a healing metal, known for balancing the body as per Venus’ physical school of healing.

Mercury, which after all has a metal named after itself, the only liquid metal on the list, or at least commonly used in liquid form. That association further exemplifies Mercury’s ties to healing and the caduceus symbol, as Mercury is the metal used in traditional old style thermometers. Mercury, however, is dangerous to approach directly and toxic to the touch without specialized protection. Mercury is also commonly used in electricity as a conductor, and interestingly enough, in gold extraction, which is mythologically accurate, Mercury being the envoy of the Sun, the king himself. People with very strong Mercuries may like to work in professions requiring contact with wires or chemicals.

blitzø + moon symbolism

okay so the music video "Just Look My Way" takes place in Stolas' space-esque personal chamber somewhere in his castle. The music video repeatedly relate Stolas' feelings towards Blitzø with the moon. During the line "let me hold you, keep you close to me, i long to hear your voice" Stolas is seen trying his best to keep the tiny moon in his hands and preventing it from floating away. Again in the line "the walls you've conjured up to live" the moon rotates and we can see Blitzø stuck inside the black space or "dark side of the moon".

the moon symbolism can mean many things in regards to how Stolas feels about Blitzø.

Firstly, it could be a manifestation of how Stolas is always drawn back to those "dazzling moonlit nights", how he constantly tries to grasp for good moments within their time together (the only ones he can find being the full moon meetings) and so he relates Blitzø and the full moon "rendez-vous" directly as a way of coping with their less than ideal experiences outside of that structured and guaranteed time spent alone tgt.

Secondly, it could be a way of showing how Blitzø acts/how stolas views him. As per astrology, the moon is romance, pleasant nights (tying back to my previous points), intense moments, loneliness and mood swings. The last three are a pretty accurate depiction of how Blitzø acts around Stolas. He's hot-headed, closed-off and Stolitz is very much prone to intense moments on both sides, so it's possible Stolas made that connection, believing that holding the moon is the closest he can currently get to holding Blitzø.

Finally, the last image (above) shows Blitzø with his head buried in his legs trapped inside the "dark side of the moon". This could symbolise how Stolas sees this dark and isolated version of Blitzø but also sees the potential for him to open up, be romantic and love Stolas.

the apology tour switch up

In Stolas' apology tour emotional ballad, the two frames above appear (i'm guessing bc the outfit is literally the exactly same as him singing onstage wth Verosika + Tex, the cute ass choker and all). Now there is a change in the background between the moon and the sun, which is a huge switch-up from "Just Look My Way". The significance of which is also very multifaceted.

Stolas could be expressing how he wants more from Blitzø, finally expressing his feelings instead of constantly worrying about how Blitzø will feel. This is probably bc Stolas fears the relationship is over while this open communication and validation that Stolas wants more than just sex is exactly what Blitzø wanted from the start. Additionally, the second frame coul be referencing how in "Just Look My Way", Stolas says "i don't care that your of lower station" and that he wants to be seen with him and be loved by him everywhere. He's tired of keeping it a secret but also has a lot of things to lose if he does.

Secondly, the sun, in astrology, is seen to represent one's sense of self and individuality. This could hint to Stolas having his whole awakening and a whole new idea of who he is because Blitzø came into his life. Because of Blitzø, he's found out so many more things about himself and is capable of doing what is doing (divorcing Stella, giving up Blitzø, the one slightly good thing he's ever had) all because Blitzø showed him how to be free ("showed me this world was bigger than us, then sent me back where i came from'" -Down Bad" by Taylor Swift).

Finally, the switch-up from moon to sun from Blitzø's pov could be a way of showing how his feelings for stolas have changed. This song is the obvious turning point of the Stolitz ship, where Blitzø isn't in denial anymore and knows he's in love with Stolas. As discussed before, the sun represents self-image and in some cases self-esteem. Considering confession of any kind of emotions are not Blitzø strong suit and don't have a huge effect on him (don't evoke much a huge outward response from him). This revelation hitting him so fast would be a huge self-awakening for him as he has not let himself love anyone for a long time.

In conclusion, Stolitz is sun x moon and nobody can convince me otherwise.

hey! kind of off topic but i'm about to finish my rahu mahadasha that i've been in for almost my whole ass life and i'd like to share some of the things i experienced during it. it's not all bad of course, but i personally have found it very hard and if i had seen more people talk about the ugly side of the transit, i think it would've given me a lot of comfort!

(small disclaimer i'm like Pretty Sure these things are caused by the transit based off what i know about rahu, but of course they could be from something else, i'm not an expert at astrology so this stuff is mostly anecdotal. also, my rahu is in pisces in the 11th)

1. Moving and travelling a LOT. not necessarily a bad thing, but as i went into this transit at 3 years old, i never really had a "childhood home" because we moved genuinely every year and sometimes multiple times a year. i think i've moved 12 times since 2020 across cities and countries. on the more positive side, i have gotten to travel a LOT in my life, all across europe and south america, as well as every corner of my home country.

2. TREMENDOUS issues in schooling. i've heard rahu can cause issues with schooling, but oh my gosh i didn't think it would be THAT hard. from the very day i started preschool i hated every second of schooling, the teachers, other kids, the work itself, just absolutely everything about the schooling experience. it got so bad that i started homeschooling in grade 7 due to the anxiety about just... everything. it's almost hard to explain, but just the thought of merely being in a school makes me sick.

3. excelling at foreign languages. not to toot my own horn, but i have always had a knack for learning languages. since i was homeschooled, i had lots of freedom to learn what i wanted at my own pace (which is the silver lining with my school issues), and i always gravitate towards language learning! i'm fluent in two languages, and proficient in 2 more. for a while, my main hobby was learning/decoding other alphabets.

4. social isolation/difficulty . now i'm aware rahu isn't typically associated with isolation like ketu is, so this is mostly anecdotal. since it's in my 11th house, i feel like it's hindered my ability to make friends. however, the friends i do have are foreign to me and majority live in a different country. so again, double edged sword. i definitely had major social isolation issues from ages 12-17. like borderline agoraphobia. and after that when i did make friends, i often found they turned out to be somehow not what i thought (rahu and his love for deception 🙃)

5. mental issues. from what i've read, rahu is associated with obsessive behaviour and delusions. i have ocd, autism, and struggle with anxiety. as a child, i also had frequent nightmares and would have inexplicable paranoia at night as well as a fear of the dark (which i still have at 21 lol)

6. things just not working out. kind of a vague statement i know, but as rahu can decieve you about what you want, i've found so much of my time being wasted by trying new hobbies or meeting new people or trying new lifestyles just for them to straight up fail or turn out to be way worse than what i thought. an example of this would be when i was ~12 i started ballet thinking i was gonna love it and it would be so awesome, but it gave me an eating disorder (obsessive tendencies yk) and i was also ostracized by the teachers and other kids.

those are some of the things i experienced, again it hasn't been the worst per se (especially compared to what certain dashas can do to you lorddd) but as i said i was really confused for a while about what the heck was going on with my life since my rahu dasha was allegedly supposed to be so good, and knowing the darker side of it would've definitely given me some understanding <3

tysm for sharing your experiences, i hope it helps others who are going through similar times <333

people remark on how 'critical' i am of planets/nakshatras or how 'dark' the things i talk about are but truth be told, wouldn't you rather know? i think i trigger the shadow of many people because they want to believe darkness does not reside within every single planet and nak and no one is exempt from behaving a certain way.

to anybody reading, dont be afraid of difficulties and darkness, its a part of life, certain dashas can be vv tough but true purification of that planet's energies is achieved through overcoming challenges associated with it. ride the waves that come your way.

MAGNUS (INFORMATION MASTER LIST)

Physical Characteristics: Tall (I'd say 6'5/195.5cm) Thin (shoulders very broad however) Black hair (curly, first streaks of silver) Black eyes (from very close or full sun, could be storm grey or dark brown) Long facial features Strong hands (long fingers no surprise there) Physical Age: 40 - 50 (having only begun to grey, very unlikely to have been black-haired older than 50) Immortal Age: 300 - 500 (depends which medieval century appeals most, 13th, 14th, or 15th. . . I prefer late 15th century birth, and it's the one mentioned in the Vampire Companion) Cultures Connected to Given Name: Scandinavian (Norweigan/Swedish/Danish) Immigrated: France Possible Blood Sires (narrative contradictions exist with any member on the list. Anne ultimately favored Benedict by her series end): Rhoshamandes- if there's a deeper story to their negotiation than they will openly tell any other vampires, it's possible the siring did take place between them Benedict- willing to share the location of his resting place, likely aware of Rhoshamandes harsh rejection(s) to Magnus, did not resist being drained of blood Allesandra- within the paris children of satan coven, probably inactive from dementia, possibly in a dormant/weakened state at the time of being drained of blood, drawn to Magnus after blood bound to him Possible Deformities (these would be apparent ONLY in stages of being blood starved, we can reasonably interpret each vampire has different ones per their mortal state at the moment they "rebirth" in the blood): Damage from prolonged malnutrition, visible emaciation Neglected teeth, nails, facial hair Condition of the spine, visible hunch and/or deteriorating asymmetry Common ailments related to substance abuse Possible Blood Gifts: Flight Gift (did he carry Lestat back to the tower on foot the whole way? Did he really?) Phoenix Gift (that's 100% what we'll use for ancients who survive turning to ash and reforming after) Unreadability (my THEORY is it's total unreadability for Magnus, because his blood sire never imbibed his blood, but partial unreadability manifests innately for his fledglings, Lestat. . .and Gabrielle's even stronger for some reason) Burdened with any immortal dementia/insanity (Y/N): Yes

Interests: Astronomy (by extension astrology) Alchemy (by extension philosophy, coded languages, building, early scientific method, herbology, minerology, etc etc) Medicine and Surgery (by extension anatomical study, making of medicine, resource gathering, bartering) Poetry Literature Theatre Romance (in plays, poems, books, and songs) Singing/Music Performance Animals (specifically horse care and breeding) Weapon handling, archery, falconry (understanding of the basics would be very likely as an extension of his birth status/culture) Games (Chess, Nine Men's Morris, Nim, Draughts etc) Parkour Theft (for the thrill of course, though he gets damn good at it, even steals immortality) Personal Connections: Paris Coven of Satan (note: not a part of it and hunted as "outcast" by it) Rhoshamandes Benedict Allesandra Everard Eleni Eugenie Notker Armand Lestat Gremt, Teskhamen, and Hesketh (Talamasca Founders) Emotional Vulnerabilities:

Suffered ostracization/internalization of appearance (likely period-relevant racism, meaning even attractive qualities may have been seen as negative ones) Suffered isolation (all kinds of ways to interpret why)

An Extended Neighborhood!

Oh, I’ve been busy today! Part of my personal work over the weekends is to draw one big thing per day. Today’s topic was: Neighborhood homes and phones! So we’ll be going in order!

Marnie’s house and phone are rather quaint. It’s gotten an update since its first appearance alongside Marnie. She’s very happy in her little cottage just down the road from Poppy and slightly out of the way from all the hustle and bustle.

The schoolhouse! This is the home to Deirdre and her students, including Jonesy! The school is on the bottom floor, with student dormitory on the second level. Deirdre resides on the third floor. She has a personal phone and a wall mounted phone so her students can call home if they need too. A perfect fit for Home’s favorite teacher!

Paulette’s observatory! A rather large main building that hosts plenty of comfy chairs and books and a small side room where Paulette does all their living. This wonderful star-studded building is rather isolated from the rest of the neighborhood, up in the hills to get better look at the stars. Paulette loves to make late night phone calls to all their favorite people to make sure they see the latest astrological event!

Minerva Mannerly’s Miniature Manor! This glorious house is built across the lake, giving it an almost enchanted feeling! Minerva loves to look out over Home from her tall windows. Her phone is rather elegant, painted in similar floral patterns that her dress and parasol have.

The Pizzario twins share a townhouse style split level with their respective shops on the bottom. Antoni has a small patio dining area and a large kitchen space, while Dandy chose to have a little plant box. The twins each have their own phone in their shop, Antoni’s looking like a pepperoni pizza while Dandy’s looks like a perfect saltwater taffy. They really do prefer to stick together!

Here’s a lineup of all the houses and phones put together. This took a while between all the architecture research and looking back at the WH website for inspiration and such. But I had a lot of fun drawing these today. Grover just doesn’t have an actual house outside of the Fence, but I didn’t want to draw that because it’s a fence. Today was for houses. Yeah! Lotta good stuff here.

KETU BEHAVIOR IN EACH HOUSE AS PER VEDIC ASTROLOGY

In Vedic astrology, Ketu is considered a shadow planet with no physical existence, but it has significant astrological influence. According to KP Vedic astrology Ketu do not own any house in Vedic horoscope as so it acts like an agent of that house where it is placed.

It represents spiritual detachment, liberation (Moksha), past karmic influences, and deep transformation. Ketu often brings a sense of isolation, otherworldliness, and enlightenment but can also manifest confusion, losses, and detachment in the material world.

Let’s understand Ketu’s behavior when placed in each house step by step :

1st House (Ascendant)

Positive: Strong spiritual inclination, interest in occult subjects, intuitive, detached from worldly pleasures, can lead a simple life.

Negative: Physical ailments, identity confusion, difficulty in self-expression, feeling disconnected from self or surroundings.

2nd House

Positive: Detachment from family matters, unorthodox speech, might earn through spiritual or unconventional means.

Negative: Financial instability, strained family relationships, issues related to speech (e.g., stammering), difficulty in accumulating wealth.

3rd House

Positive: Strong willpower, spiritual communication, creative writing, intuitive thinking, detached but courageous in actions.

Negative: Problems with siblings, overconfidence in taking risks, miscommunication, restlessness, lack of focus.

4th House

Positive: Spiritual detachment from home life, deep emotional intuition, and interest in occult or metaphysical studies.

Negative: Problems in relationships with mother or domestic issues, lack of emotional fulfillment, frequent relocation, difficulty in acquiring property.

5th House

Positive: Strong intuitive abilities, interest in spirituality, detachment from children or creative pursuits, inclination towards occult and mantra practices.

Negative: Difficulties in conceiving or relationships with children, confused intellect, gambling tendencies, difficulty in romantic affairs.

6th House

Positive: Ability to overcome enemies, diseases, and debts, strong intuitive healing powers, service-oriented approach in life.

Negative: Health problems related to mysterious or chronic ailments, hidden enemies, workplace troubles, and legal issues.

7th House

Positive: Spiritual union with partner, detached and non-materialistic relationships, interest in unconventional or foreign partners.

Negative: Problems in marriage or partnership, separation, lack of harmony in relationships, difficulty in maintaining long-term commitments.

8th House

Positive: Deep interest in occult, mysticism, and spirituality, ability to overcome sudden upheavals, strong transformative energies, financial gains through inheritance.

Negative: Health problems, sudden losses, accidents, mental stress, secrets and scandals, fear of death.

9th House

Positive: Strong inclination towards spirituality, detachment from religious dogmas, higher learning, and pilgrimage.

Negative: Issues with father, teacher, or gurus, lack of belief in traditional religious practices, challenges in long-distance travel or higher education.

10th House

Positive: Interest in spiritual or unconventional career paths, ability to work in isolation, fame through occult or mystical means.

Negative: Career instability, lack of recognition, trouble with authority, difficulty in maintaining a steady professional life.

11th House

Positive: Spiritual detachment from material gains, success through unconventional means, strong intuition for financial or social matters.

Negative: Difficulty in making long-term friendships, financial instability, unfulfilled desires, issues with elder siblings or social circles.

12th House

Positive: Strong inclination towards spirituality, liberation, and foreign travels, deep introspection, and ability to attain enlightenment or Moksha.

Negative: Expenses or losses, mental stress, isolation, hospitalization, addiction, or imprisonment, problems with sleep or subconscious issues.

Ketu in General :

Spirituality: Ketu encourages detachment and spiritual growth. It helps one let go of materialistic desires and attachments.

Confusion and Isolation: Ketu often creates confusion or disconnection from the areas of life it influences.

Past Karma: Ketu represents past life influences, so its placement often indicates unresolved karmic lessons.

Liberation and Transformation: Despite its challenges, Ketu offers deep spiritual transformation and the potential for enlightenment.

PLEASE NOTE : The effects of Ketu vary significantly depending on aspects, conjunctions, its strength in the chart, and the sign it occupies. A well-placed Ketu can lead to spiritual liberation, while a poorly placed Ketu can cause confusion and detachment from material success.

BIOGRAPHY Born and raised in the close-knit town of Stillwater, Nancy Gallagher grew up in a family that cherished traditional values and taught her the importance of integrity and loyalty.

Throughout her youth, Nancy was known as the quiet observer, always present but rarely in the spotlight. She had an uncanny ability to blend into the background, becoming a confidante to those around her. People would unknowingly reveal their deepest secrets while Nancy listened intently, offering solace without needing to speak a word.

In high school, Nancy’s life took an unexpected twist when she found herself entangled in a captivating game of love with the star quarterback. Their courtship was a whirlwind of emotions, with Nancy playing hard to get, relishing in the chase. Against all odds, they defied expectations and tied the knot, creating a life together that seemed destined for happiness.

However, the fairy tale crumbled when Nancy discovered her spouse’s infidelity. Unfazed by embarrassment, she struck a deal, promising to keep the affair a secret if they would leave the family home, allowing Nancy and their children to remain undisturbed. Nancy’s strength and determination to protect her babies prevailing over her shattered heart.

The day of their departure was etched in Nancy’s memory like a haunting spectre. She took her children out for ice cream, attempting to distract them from the turmoil within their home. Returning to an empty house, Nancy was perplexed to find her former spouse’s car still parked in the driveway. Annoyance quickly turned to shock as she discovered their lifeless body in the foyer.

The gut-wrenching scream that escaped Nancy’s lips was a testament to the depths of her anguish. The town was stunned when the police arrived, not to console her, but to arrest her for a crime she had not committed. No matter how she fought, pleaded, and begged, the wheels of justice seemed determined to crush her spirit.

For ten long, agonising years, Nancy languished in prison, her innocence a burden she carried with unwavering resolve. She was a skeleton of her former self, her spirit tested with the harsh realities of confinement. But even in the darkest moments, Nancy clung to the flickering hope of redemption; of seeing her babies again.

Finally, a glimmer of light emerged as new evidence came to light, exposing the truth. Nancy was released, but the scars of the past remained. She emerged from prison with nothing more than a plastic bag containing the clothes she wore on her first day of incarceration. 

Now “free”, Nancy faces the daunting challenge of rebuilding her life in a town that still views her as guilty. Her children, once innocent and carefree, had grown up in her absence, and reconnecting with them proves to be both a joyous and painful process.

8th house lord through the houses ✧˖°

vedic astrology

disclaimer ~ this is based on my own research & opinions, so if it doesn’t resonate please let it go. this should go without saying but please do not plagiarise heh

how to find your 8th house lord ~ for starters please only use your vedic/ sidereal chart & whole sign house system. the 8th house lord planet is indicated solely by the sign that falls within the 8th house of a chart. look for the house in your chart where your 8th house lord planet is sitting in. i have included a guide at the very bottom of this post as well but if you need clarification feel free to dm me x

✧˖° 8th lord in 1st house

these people are very seductive & alluring! high physical sex appeal & most likely has very high sex drives. they have a very mysterious & hypnotic presence. highly mystical & intuitive - it is very hard to deceive these people. sensitive & has a very emotionally vulnerable side to them - they try to keep this side of them low-key. comes across as mystical, deep & sensitive. may have health issues that deteriorate their vitality whether mental or physical - keep on top of your well-being. these people have powerful potential to transform one’s self physically - like they can drastically transform other’s perception of them. as per stereotypes, may be prone to seclusion & secrecy on a characteristic level

✧˖° 8th lord in 2nd house

people with this placement have very sexually attractive facial features, especially the eyes & lips. seductive voices! these people are very ‘sensually seductive’ - if that makes sense. may have very deep issues related to self-worth. may be prone to disordered eating & consumption of intoxicates as a means to pacify psychological issues - please be careful of diet culture & intoxication if you have this placement. ability to benefit off other people’s money - just saying reminds me of sugar baby archetypes (8th house is the finance of others & 2nd house is material items). other wise, benefits financially from work related to investigation, research, psychology, astrology, mystical practices, sex, finances or health

✧˖° 8th lord in 4th house

highly intuitive, empathetic & good at supporting others. has a great need to connect with others intimately & usually does so intensely, especially within emotional & sexual relationships. for this reason sex & love tend to go together for these people, they often desire devotional bonds/ relationships. these people may harbour or bottle up feelings of shame, isolation & victimhood. usually these feelings are associated with the mother, childhood or home environment in some way. mother may be a scorpionic person or if there are no afflictions the mother may just has interest in spirituality/ mysticism. these people should be very cautious of attracting people who treated poorly within their intimate relationships 

✧˖° 8th lord in 5th house

these people most likely express themselves creatively in a scorpionic way, whether that is intentional or not - megan fox has this placement & she has always been subject to roles that objectify & sexualise her (8th house is sex appeal & 5th house is theatrical entertainment). these people likely enjoy having sex very much, especially within romantic/ committed relationships. has a good understanding of occult, taboo, sexual topics although may be to overly obsessed with these themes. their creativity comes in sudden bursts of energy. if this person has children/ is wanting to the relationship with them may be challenging & dramatic. most likely able to financially support their children. people with this placement should be extra wary of accidental pregnancy

✧˖° 8th lord in the 9th house

non-conforming & breaks traditional faith/ beliefs. challenges, tempts or even disturbs other people’s moral compass & faith whether this is intentional or not. greatly intelligent, opinionated & insightful on topics of occult, mysticism, sex & death. most likely occultist or atheists. may be very lucky & experience sudden increase in fortunes. most likely able to benefit from inheritance, wills & insurance - by any legal means. powerful & skilled at manifestation through intention & prayer. that being said, manifestation is so powerful that these people need to be very mindful of negative thinking as this may also manifest itself. be very wary of teachers or older men who may cross boundaries or establish inappropriate relationships. may have sudden disruptions or changes in your higher education - beyond high school

✧˖° 8th lord in the 10th house

people with this placement may seem to be shy, reclusive or deep in thought in the eye of the public. otherwise in more extroverted people the sexual side of the 8th house can be more aligned with their public prominence. these people may be overlooked by other’s but when they do receive attention from authority figures or older men it is intense & overwhelming - always be wary of older men who are sexually interested in you, particularly if they are of a higher status than you. great research & analysis skills which makes them well suited for careers related to secrets, scandals, psychology, investigation, death & surveillance. avoid scandalous behaviour as it will most likely hinder your public image or even career. may experience many sudden changes in status & work     

✧˖° 8th lord in the 11th house

people with this placement may have trouble fitting in & feels like an outcast usually due to issues w/ social anxiety. often attracts friends & people within their social circles that are sexually interested in them - so be cautious of people in your circle for this reason. prominent placement for people who gains financially through sexual, mysterious, investigative or esoteric activities - i noticed this placement to be prominent in top only fans creators. may  experience very sudden rises in wealth/ gains & fame/ social status, although be wary of scandals as they may cause sudden negative turns in luck the same way. generally these people will have a better adult life than their childhood

What exactly does the 8th house venus look like?

By now, we are very aware of what venus in 8th house means and that it brings a lot of transformations in the lives of the natives. I will share my personal breakdown of how exactly i transformed with this placement and hope it connects with someone:

Firstly, venus in 8th house makes emotional life intense. I mean INTENSE. Crazy INTENSE. Obsessive. Dedication. Emotional overflow. And secretive. Secretive love life. Falling in "love" overnight, at first sight. Impulsive.

Venus is the significator of romance and love life. It is placed in the house of death and rebirth. What do you expect? Each relationship brings death - rebirth of the native.

It starts with the intense emotional life of the native. Comes a destined romantic interest. Native falls in infatuation. Intense obsession begins. Ohh-she is drowning in her own psychic ocean and it is red. Colour red. The colour of love and sacrifice. Of soul itself.

Rumination. Opening up about personal traumas. Sharing secrets with each other. Venus in 8th house lady gives her heart and soul to the man. She is not for the weak hearted. She is not for the casual affairs. She is the one to shake your soul, existence and make you question reality itself. Her love is passionate and dreamy. She is hard to forget because she dumps her emotions, soul and energy into you.

She is obsessed with the mental image of the love interest. Not the real man but his mental image. This is the twist. She thinks that the romantic interest is everything she has ever wanted. She thinks he is perfect. But really, she is just so emotional that logic is out of the window.

Romantic interest has psychic manipulative tendencies. It is almost certain that the lover is manipulative and controlling. Sometime in the relationship, the illusion breaks. As per the hallmark of 8th house = sudden, SHOCKING revelation! This man is not who she thought he was. 8th house is the house of taboo as well; the man turns out to be someone with a dirty character. Run, run, run.

The break up is sudden. Intense emotional breakdown. Crying herself to sleep. There starts a depression. Deep depression for god knows how long. Her trust is broken. Trust means everything to her. Trauma bond. The mental image shatters.

With depression comes mental breakdown. Ruminating about the whole relationship. What, how, why, where, when? Obsessively asking questions. This depression lasts for months and wipes away the memory.

Native is pulled into astrology, tarot and psychology to fix herself. She knows deep down that something is broken in her. She wants to fix what is broken. It is her destiny. After all, 8th house is also about healing the trauma.

Romantic obsession turns into spiritual pursuit. Depression wipes out the memories of the past self. "i dont remember who i was before" phase. Depending upon the rest of the chart, she starts building herself from ground up. A new person. A new self. New looks. New career. New way of life. New friends.

Long period of isolation - she loses touch with the external world. She sheds her skin in isolation - how can you born anew if you are not reduced to ashes first? She learns everything from rock bottom. Emotional control. Social skills. Relationship skills. Spirituality. Occult skills, definite interest in psychology, when she learns new information, skills, knowledge = she automatically rewires her system. These natives glow up. Generic prediction is = she becomes sophisticated. Dresed up fancy lady with shiny pearl necklace, femme fatale aesthetic, red lips and very ladylike.

Somedays she recalls her old self. The messed up, intense, manic pixie dream girl, broken she was. Now transformed into a new person. So, this is what 8th house transformation looks like. It is not just "magic"; it is actual hard work.

i tried playing elden ring but felt like i only kept dying for no reason. it seems like everybody else is having fun but there's something i'm just missing. i was playing as a bandit, is that just a bad class?

hello! i have some general advice before here but here's some more:

If you're coming to Elden Ring from Elder Scrolls or something please know that you absolutely cannot just try to out-damage your opponents by mashing the attack button in their face. Combat requires more strategy, so get good at isolating and prioritizing targets, evasion and dodging, and more advanced guard techniques like guard counters or ripostes.

If you're struggling against enemies with shields, or struggling with enemies shrugging off your attacks, it's because you're not hitting them hard enough. The heavier the weapon, the more likely it is so stagger your opponent, especially with more powerful attacks such as charged attacks or jumping power attacks. Trying to just out-damage an opponent with a flurry of weak attacks is just going to get you hit back, but a hit-and-run style of play with fast and light weapons is especially good if you can get a hold of weapons that cause blood loss (like the bandit's great knife) or other dangerous afflictions.

Archery is not very powerful in this game. In most other games you can be a supercool stealth archer or sniper character but this game is not balanced to make archery particularly powerful, because range is so inherently such a large advantage. Where archery especially shines is at luring single targets away from a group or applying afflictions with arrows that cause blood loss, poison, etc. Longbows deal much more direct damage per shot and also have much more range than shortbows, but shortbows can be fired from horseback as well as immediately out of dodges and jumps, so I personally prefer shortbows for that fast-paced gameplay they afford.

If you're insisting on playing a bandit, you should try to get good at parrying, the default skill on your starting shield, the buckler. The buckler has the best default parry in the game, and parrying weapon attacks can open enemies up for devastating critical hits, which are the main advantage of daggers. Backstabs are also great, too, and you can get them against any humanoid foe with their back turned, even in combat, not just against unaware targets. I personally never vibed much with parrying but you may get the hang of it.

If playing as a bandit isn't too important to you, then I genuinely recommend starting over and trying a few other starting classes. Your starting class isn't actually that important, since you can acquire so many tools so quickly and customize your stats so much in the long-run, and eventually reallocate your stats entirely after beating the shardbearer in Liurnia of the Lakes, but each starting class has a very distinct feel and set of starting tools that you'll either like or you won't. My husband actually started as a bandit and struggled a lot, then tried the prisoner and also struggled, before things finally clicked when he played as the warrior. I recommend trying Vagabond, as in my experience having such heavy armor and investing well into vigor and strength gave me the resilience and the tools I needed to learn a lot of fundamentals.

I've yet to truly enjoy sorcery myself but the Astrologer class and the abundance of ranged glintstone spells may appeal to you if direct combat is too difficult or otherwise unenjoyable. Incantations are a lot of fun and more versatile than sorcery, but your options are a lot more limited in the early game unless you know exactly where to beeline.

I hope you find something that works for you, anon!
