About Dwadashamsha (D-12 chart)

As we have entered a special period called Pitru Paksha, it is good to remember the D-12 divisional chart or Dwadashamsha, which reveals ancestral heritage and our own place in our family lineage. But first, a few words about Pitru Paksha.

Pitru Paksha is a 16-day period in the Hindu calendar dedicated to honouring ancestors, observed during the waning phase of the Moon in the month of Bhadrapada (September-October). During this time, Hindus perform rituals such as Shradh and Tarpan to pay respects to their passed ancestors and seek their blessings. In general, it is a good time to spend e.g., exploring your family history, making a family tree, learning about your ancestors’ lives, visiting cemeteries and paying respects at the resting places of your passed relatives. It is believed that the souls of ancestors return to earth during these days, and offerings of food, water, and prayers help ensure their peace and contentment in the afterlife. This period holds great significance for receiving ancestral blessings, resolving issues like Pitru Dosha (ancestral curses), and promoting family harmony. The final day, Mahalaya Amavasya, is considered the most important, marking the end of Pitru Paksha.

D-12 Chart

The D-12 divisional chart, a.k.a Dwadasamsa chart, is an important tool in Vedic astrology for analyzing matters related to one's family lineage, ancestors, and parental influences. The D-12 chart focuses on the influences passed down from our ancestors, especially from parents, grandparents and so on. It is derived from dividing each sign of the zodiac into 12 parts, hence the name "Dwadasamsa" (Dwadasha means "12" in Sanskrit).

Key Areas Analyzed in the D-12 Chart:

Parental Influence:

The D-12 chart is primarily used to understand the relationship with one's parents and the impact of parental upbringing on the individual's life.

It shows the karma related to one’s parents, indicating how their behaviour, health, and fortunes may influence the native.

Ancestral Lineage and Heritage:

The chart reveals ancestral patterns and influences, both positive and negative, that may be inherited from past generations.

Ancestral blessings or unresolved issues, like Pitru Dosha (ancestral curse), can be seen in this chart.

The strengths and weaknesses of the family tree, including traditions, values, and health traits, are also reflected.

Health and Longevity of Parents:

The health of parents and their longevity can be examined through the D-12 chart. It can give insights into the wellbeing of parents and any potential issues they may face.

If malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn) are prominent, it may indicate challenges or struggles related to parents.

Inheritance of Karma:

The D-12 chart provides insight into how ancestral karma (good or bad) affects the native. This karma may manifest as opportunities or challenges in the individual's life, and rituals like Shradh (ancestor worship) can help resolve or mitigate ancestral issues.

Family Fortunes and Reputation:

It reflects the status and reputation of the family as a whole. The condition of the planets in this chart reveals the level of respect and honour the family holds in society and how it will affect the native's own standing.

Spiritual Heritage:

The chart indicates the level of spiritual heritage passed down through the family. If benefic planets like Jupiter, Moon and Venus are well-placed, it shows the individual inherits spiritual wisdom, strong values, and a good moral foundation from their lineage.

How to Analyze Family and Ancestors in the D-12 Chart:

Ascendant (Lagna):

The ascendant (Lagna) and its lord in the D-12 chart represent the overall physical and psychological influence of family and ancestors on the native. It can show how much of the ancestral traits or karma the individual inherits. Also, Lagna and its lord in a certain house show which role the native has in his or her lineage (they can be positive and negative).

Sun (Father) and Moon (Mother):

Sun represents the father in a horoscope, and its placement in the D-12 chart shows the native’s connection with paternal ancestors.

Moon represents the mother, and its position indicates the maternal influence. The condition of these planets helps assess how well-supported or challenged the native’s life is due to parental and ancestral energies.

Fourth House:

The fourth house is significant for matters related to the mother, family, heritage, and property. In the D-12 chart, this house shows how the native connects emotionally with the family and the security provided by their ancestors.

Ninth House:

The ninth house represents father and ancestral wisdom. It reflects spiritual guidance and the influence of ancestors on higher learning, ethics, and fortune.

The ninth house and its lord in the D-12 chart give key indications of the native’s ancestral blessings, spiritual inheritance, and how much support the individual receives from their father and paternal lineage.

Planets and Their Conditions:

Jupiter is a significant planet in understanding ancestral blessings as it represents wisdom, tradition, and knowledge passed down from elders. Therefore, strong Jupiter gives prosperity and luck, while Jupiter in its fall is weaker and restrains from a continuous expansion and luck.

Saturn represents karmic inheritance and may indicate ancestral debts or obligations if it is afflicted.

The placement and condition of Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes) can show past-life karmas and the type of ancestral energies (positive or negative) carried forward.

Malefic and Benefic Influences:

If malefic planets like Rahu, Saturn, or Mars are prominently placed in the D-12 chart, especially if they are affecting the Sun, Moon, or the fourth/ninth houses, it may indicate ancestral challenges (karmic debts) or Pitru Dosha. This could lead to difficulties in life such as delays, health issues, or strained family relationships.

Benefic planets like Jupiter and Venus, on the other hand, show positive ancestral inheritance, such as wisdom, wealth, and spiritual support.

Remedies for Ancestral Issues:

If the D-12 chart reveals ancestral difficulties or Pitru Dosha, the following remedies can help alleviate these issues:

Performing Shradh: During Pitru Paksha, performing Shradh and offering food, water, and donations to honour the ancestors is a powerful remedy.

Tarpan: Offering water and prayers regularly to ancestors can help resolve any karmic debts inherited from them.

Donations and Charity: Performing charity in the name of ancestors can bring relief from inherited challenges and help receive blessings.

Chanting Mantras: Reciting mantras like the Pitru Suktam or performing Pitru Gayatri mantra helps in pacifying the souls of ancestors.

May the power of our Ancestors come with us!

Astrology: A Detailed Exploration of Its Principles and Mechanisms

Astrology is a belief system that posits a connection between the positions and movements of celestial bodies—such as planets, stars, and the Moon—and events and characteristics on Earth. Its practitioners, known as astrologers, use celestial observations to provide insights into individual personalities, predict future events, and offer guidance on various aspects of life. Despite its long history and widespread popularity, astrology remains controversial and is often criticized by the scientific community for lacking empirical support.

Core Principles of Astrology

Celestial Influence: At the heart of astrology is the idea that the positions and movements of celestial bodies affect human affairs and natural phenomena. This influence is thought to be exerted through gravitational, magnetic, or symbolic means.

Zodiac Signs: The zodiac is a belt of the sky divided into twelve segments, each named after a constellation that lies within its bounds. These signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign is associated with specific personality traits and tendencies.

Houses: The astrological chart is divided into twelve houses, each representing different areas of life, such as career, relationships, and health. The positions of planets within these houses are believed to influence various aspects of an individual’s life.

Aspects: Aspects are angles formed between planets in the astrological chart. These angles are classified as harmonious (e.g., trines and sextiles) or challenging (e.g., squares and oppositions) and are thought to describe how different planetary energies interact and influence each other.

Horoscopes: A horoscope is a detailed chart created for a specific time and place, showing the positions of celestial bodies. It is used to interpret astrological influences and provide personalized insights. There are several types of horoscopes, including natal (birth), transits (current planetary movements), and progressions (symbolic advancement of the natal chart).

How Astrology Works

Creating an Astrological Chart: The process begins by generating an astrological chart or horoscope, which requires precise information about the individual's birth—date, time, and location. This data is used to calculate the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets relative to the twelve zodiac signs and houses.

Interpreting the Chart: Astrologers analyze the chart by looking at the following elements:

Sun Sign: The zodiac sign where the Sun was positioned at the time of birth. It is often considered the core of one's personality.

Moon Sign: The zodiac sign where the Moon was positioned, reflecting emotional nature and inner self.

Ascendant (Rising Sign): The sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. It influences outward behavior and first impressions.

Planetary Positions: The positions of planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, etc., in relation to the zodiac signs and houses.

Aspects: The geometric angles between planets that indicate how their energies interact.

3. Personal Characteristics and Predictions: Astrologers interpret the positions and aspects to describe an individual's traits, potential strengths, challenges, and life path. They also use the chart to forecast future events, by analyzing current planetary transits and progressions in relation to the natal chart.

Astrology and Its Variations

Western Astrology: This form, rooted in Hellenistic traditions and developed in Europe, is the most commonly practiced in the Western world. It includes several branches such as psychological astrology, which focuses on personality and personal growth, and mundane astrology, which concerns world events and politics.

Vedic (Indian) Astrology: Also known as Jyotish, this system has roots in ancient Indian texts and differs from Western astrology in its use of the sidereal zodiac, which is based on the actual positions of constellations. Vedic astrology emphasizes karma and dharma and uses different techniques, such as the divisional charts, to offer insights.

Chinese Astrology: Based on a lunar calendar and the Chinese zodiac, this system divides the year into twelve animal signs (Rat, Ox, Tiger, etc.) and incorporates elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) to provide a comprehensive view of personality and fate.

Evolutionary Astrology: This modern approach combines traditional techniques with a focus on spiritual growth and evolution. It interprets planetary positions in terms of past-life experiences and soul development.

Criticism and Contemporary Relevance

Astrology has faced significant criticism, primarily due to its lack of empirical evidence and scientific validation. Critics argue that the principles of astrology are based on outdated astronomical concepts and rely on vague interpretations that lack rigorous testing.

Despite this, astrology maintains a broad following and is valued by many for its symbolic and introspective qualities. It offers a framework for self-reflection and understanding, helping individuals explore their inner lives and navigate personal challenges.

In summary, astrology is a rich and diverse system with deep historical roots and complex methodologies. While it is not scientifically validated, its enduring appeal reflects its capacity to provide meaning and insight in the context of human experience.

[supernovaa-remnant]

well, when it comes to andor, dark, and the swarm, i like literally everything lol

like, i think i'd actually count all three as some of my favorite shows because they're just so good, no matter from what point you look at it. writing??? amazing. plot??? amazing. characters??? amazing. cinematography??? amazing. acting??? amazing.

i mean, i'm in no way an actual expert, this is more personal interest and experience than anything else but by god, i just think these shows are fucking incredible and they left a lasting impact on me in multiple ways.

also omg since you mentioned it, i can't believe i forgot to list doctor who???? wonderful show, i love it so so much. do you have, like, a favorite era or doctor???

but please do go on about interconnectedness (just not to the point of crying please), i love to hear your thoughts!! :D

they sound like really interesting shows :D if I ever find the time to check them out, I'll let you know :3

omg doctor who it's such a good show. growing up, my favorite doctor was always the 11th doctor (amy was one of my favorite companions, too, and ofc I loved river and she was mostly around when the 11th doctor was around). as I've gotten older I kinda have less favorites if that makes sense lol. really like 12 and really like 10. um, unpopular opinion, but I really like 13 as well. like, I don't know, she has characteristics reminiscent of past doctors but is also very much her own doctor, y'know? I also adore yaz as a companion. in terms of the episodes themselves and the plotlines there, probably 10-11 era, but in terms of doctors my favorites are 11 and 13, I'd say. really really good show though and honestly there's so many interesting parts of it and good episodes from all the seasons.

what about you? do you have a favorite era or doctor??

as for interconnectedness.. I know people always talk about how humans are social creatures, but I feel like it expands beyond that, y'know? everything is connected. long ago stars exploded and those explosions created the elements that we're made of. something incredibly improbable happened to create the moon (because the earth-moon dynamic is very very weird and unlike any other planet-satellite dynamic in the solar system), and because of the moon life was able to form and evolve the way it did on the earth. 2000 years ago people looked up at the sky and created constellations and the zodiac system, and we still use that today despite the position of the sun relative to the constellations has shifted since then.

on a smaller scale—people have always just been people. and they were just living their lives, and yet somehow it all has lead to here and now. and, still, we're just people living our lives. and now we have the capability of being able to connect with people literally across the globe, and isn't that beautiful? that distance isn't as big of a barrier anymore?

and there's someone growing up in the house I grew up on. there's history there—my parents built that house when I was a baby, and my grandma painted my bedroom walls, and I experienced so much there. and now that house is watching another kid grow up and maybe the walls have been re-painted, but the original paint is still there, just hidden. and there are scratch marks on the wall from my now deceased childhood dog because he was just a puppy and not well trained yet when we got him.

and the child growing up there doesn't know any of that, and yet, in some way, we are connected because of it.

and I still think about the best friend I had in kindergarten and my best friend in elementary school and the friends I had in middle school. actually, speaking of doctor who, I had a middle school teacher who was doing a collage project in the ceiling of her classroom. basically it was a bunch of clouds and pictures of the sky. but, there was a little trio of sixth graders (me and two other girls) who loved doctor who. so, our teacher added a bunch of pictures of the TARDIS on the ceiling so that we could try to count them all (we never could). that ceiling is still there, even if I don't talk to those other two girls anymore.

it's just—everything is so connected. you're only a couple people away from any given person. it's crazy to me. and, another thing that's baffling. I wonder how many times I've been in the same room with the same stranger. because I don't remember all the strangers I see, but maybe I've sat in a train with the same stranger I sat on a bus with 5 years prior. maybe I passed a friend on the street years before we ever met. just, stuff like that is wild to me.

I don't want this to get too long, so I'm just going to make one more point: isn't it beautiful how, in the age of globalization, despite all the shortcomings, we've also found new ways to love?

Bare with me, but I'm going to very very briefly talk about parasocialism. Because, for example, Dream is always saying he loves his fans. Wilbur, in his last stream, said he loves his fans. and something they've both brought up is the fact that it's not like the love you feel for a friend or family member, but it's love nonetheless. and isn't that kind of beautiful? that it's possible to have love for people across the globe who you don't know? and it's not the same love as the love you have towards someone you know, but it's love all the same. and the same applies to social media. I love my mutuals. other people are always posting about how they love their mutuals. sometimes that evolves into an actual genuine friendship, and sometimes it doesn't. whatever it is, it's still love and care, and I just think it's really beautiful how deeply we can care about people we've never met and may never meet.

Okay, signing off here. I just love humanity and space and sometimes I'm just really full of love.

Well it’s been a while since I posted so I thought I’d go all out on this blog. I’m going to discuss, soul connections, astrology, inner work and the 7 chakras and a little bit of tarot.

In 2018 I began going through another spiritual awakening, I stumbled across the term twin flames and I was quite taken back by it. I always grew up thinking we all had one soul mate and it was a fairytale kind of love but the deeper I dove into spirituality my beliefs began to change.

We can have several soul mates but only one twin flame. The common theory for twin flames is that the soul splits and reincarnations into two different bodies for soul evolution. A twin flame is a mirror soul, a reflection of you , the good and the bad. Your twin will shed light on everything that you need to heal and what you try to run from and eventually they will help you to ascend. There is no other connection like it. They usually come in and out your life triggering different stages of spiritual awakenings and to ensure you continue doing the work you signed up before reincarnating on Earth.

The twin flame journey isn’t easy, there are many different stages and there is usually a runner and chaser dynamic going on. One of the main lessons is to learn that twin flames will always be connected it’s only their ego that separates them from each other.

🖤A soul mate is usually a relatively easy relationship, you grow together and are able to overcome challenges, the relationship brings stability, peace and love they are usually a life partner that you settle down with.

-

-🖤Karmic people are the ones you will meet through out your life, the union between karmic people can often be intense and short lived. The reason being is that they cross your path to teach you something valuable and it is up to you whether you want to learn the lesson. Sometimes we keep meeting the same people in different bodies so that we are forced  to pay attention to what they are trying to teach us.

-

🖤Catalyst twin flames A catalyst twin flame is a term used for someone who may be very similar to your twin flame, they may belong in the same soul group or share the same vibrational energy. They also trigger inner work

- You may find yourself meeting karmic people during retrograde seasons.

- South node in astrology represents our past lives, where we came from and where our souls last resided. I would look at personal planets, moon, mars, mercury and Venus aspecting South node to see what karma you have to unravel. I would look at harsh aspects usually squares, oppositions or conjunctions to the south node.

- Venus square south node would be a good indicator that you shared an emotional bond with this person in a previous life time.

🖤Megan fox and machine GK synastry 🖤

An article published on 22nd July 2020 - the date is definitely a synchronicity since 22 22 is considered a twin flame number, In the article Megan claims that MGK is her twin flame. She recalled feeling an instant connection with him.

“I went deep right away. I knew before I even did his chart, I said to him, he has a Pisces moon. I could tell by his energy,” she said.”

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.yahoo.com/amphtml/entertainment/megan-fox-connection-machine-gun-kelly-immediate-twin-flame-194629807.html

MGK also captioned a picture of them both on Instagram as

“waited for eternity to find you again... 🔪 💫❤️ 🔪 “

So let’s look into this magical connection they share.

With MF and MGK both having Taurus sun’s, they will share similar personality traits which will bring harmony. However their rising signs are quite different since Megan has Capricorn rising and MGK has Gemini, the Gemini energy and sun in his 11 denfentily gives MGK more an edgy style.

When have a soul tie with someone we are able to communicate with them telepathically but between twin flames the telepathic connection is very powerful.

Mental connection -

🌚Sun conjunct telephus - in 11th & 3rd house - telepathic connection, understanding, knowing

🌚Mercury conjunct mercury in 12th &4th house - psychic connection , mental connection, depth , understanding

🌚Both have mercury in Taurus , creating a conjunction this means similar ways of thinking / communicating

🌚Neptune in 8th trine mercury in 4th- telepathy, imagination, romance, dreamy , depth

Physical connection

⚡️Sun in 11th opposite Pluto in 5th

Electrical, life changing, obsessive, fated , magnetic , explosive

⚡️Megan’s mars falls into MGK 8th house

Sexual chemistry, exploring taboos, depth, intensity, reading the subconscious mind, sharing secrets , sexual tension

⚡️MGK Mars in Pisces is trine MF Pluto in Scorpio

Satisfying each other’s desires, intimacy, power games

⚡️Mars in 11th - squaring Pluto in 8th composite chart - experimenting, powerful emotions, bringing out each other’s shadow/ darker side, knowing what triggers one and other

connection -

🖤 Megan’s Leo moon is conjunct MGF south node - 3rd house of communication .Any personal planets aspecting the south node can indicate past life encounters. The moon represents our emotions and connections we have with others and since it’s touching his south node this can indicate an instant connection, familiarity and deep bond.

🖤 Jupiter expands and blesses everything it touches, if aspected positively. MGK Venus in Pisces is exactly conjunct MF’s Jupiter in Pisces - this aspect would give a dreamy, fairy tale kind of love and with a dash of Jupiter for sure it would be expand their love for each other.

🖤 MGK Alma which is another term for soul is conjunct MF’s Neptune in Capricorn in her 12th house. As mentioned earlier the 12th house is known as the karmic house. Capricorn’s ruler is Saturn which also known for representing karma in astrology. Now let’s switch it round. Their Neptune conjunct Alma also falls into MF’s 7th house. Now taking in both placements, I would say this is a spiritual connection.

Fate, destiny and karma

The vertex is used in astrology to identify fated events, karma and destiny. Scorpio is considered the most interned sign of the zodiac because of the powerful energy Pluto carries.

Her Pluto is conjunct his vertex in his 5th house of fun, dating and romance. This is likely to be a life changing relationship filled with passion and. They will be strongly drawn to each other and with this conjunction also falling into MF 9th house, this union would more than likely transform her beliefs and lead her to search for spirtual guidance to make sense of their connection.

-South node conjunct union in Libra (spiritual reunion)

-Venus square Chiron (deep healing)

Elements

Fixed - Taurus , Scorpio , Leo , Aquarius

Mutable - Pisces , Virgo , Sagittarius, Gemini

Cardinal - Cancer , Aquarius, libra , Aries

🌚Feminine signs - Earth + water

💥Masculine signs -Air + fire

Usually with twin flames you will notice similarities or oppositions within the chart.

Both sun signs are in a fixed sign

🌙 Megan’s moon is in her 7th house which is a cardinal house

🌙 MGK Moon falls in his 10th house which is also cardinal house

🌪MF Venus is in Pisces & MGK Venus is in Gemini both are mutable signs

💥Megan’s mars falls Into her 1st house & MGK mars falls into his 10th both cardinal houses.

💥Megan’s mars is in Capricorn MGK mars falls into his 10th house which is the house of Capricorn.

🌙Mercury in Taurus are both in water houses 12 & 4

🌙Ruler of Megan’s DC is in cancer and her moon is in her 7th house.

🌙Ruler of MGK 7 house is in Jupiter which is in his 1st house

Alma means soul in Spanish it also considered the second moon in astrology.

🌙Megan’s Alma is in her 1st house

🌙And MGK Alma is in his 7th house

It is not clear whether they are actually twin flames but they are likely to share a soul connection. It will be interesting to see how this relationship plays out in the future as no twin flame journey is a walk in the park.

Astrology can not determine who your twin is.

Every twins journey is different, some are meant to be together in this life and some are not it all depends on the soul contract, all twins will have different strengths, weaknesses and connections which will show up differently in each individual chart. I found some asteroids which seem pretty interesting. You can go over to Astro. Com (extended chart) and calculate synastry between you and whoever. Asteroids should be in conjunction, opposition or squaring personal planets.

💫 Telephus 5264 - what a magical asteroid, it represents intuition, telepathy your inner voice.

💫 Psyche 16 - the Greek translation of soul. This asteroid can also indicate shadow work that one is yet to do.

💫 Juno- your ideal mate, a soul mate, a life partner, the one you’re likely to marry.

💫 Moria 638 - associated with destiny, fate synchronicities and karma

💫 Alma 390 another term for soul, connected with the heart , it can reveal information about your recent past life.

💫Urda 167 is similar to the south node as it is connected to past lives

💫 Child 4580 , child can represent our inner child and how to nurture , heal & connect with our inner child.

💫DNA 55555 , shows genetic information

💫Memoria 1247 - this is an astroid that holds memories of your past life

💫Union 1585 , reunion , being drawn to another , fate

💫193 Ambrosia , associated with healing, Devine masculine and feminine energy , eternity

💫ALTJIRA 148780 ,Shananic journeys , visions

🪄Numerology / synchronicities / dreams

-Some are born on the same day

-same life path numbers (this isn’t always) try calculating the numbers also

-Seeing repetitive numbers what are associated with twin flames - 1111/111/1212/1221/1313/2222/

-Reunion on the 11th month or 11th day etc

-months or days calculated between birth date may be meaningful

-having visions / dreams

-astral projection

-meeting/ unions during astrological events - new moons / full moons / portals

Dealing with separation / dark night of the soul

Energy work is a vital part of your spiritual journey. For those who feel they are on a twin flame journey then it is important that you balance your chakras especially if you are hoping for a reunion after separation or going through ‘the dark night of the soul’ or if you want to ascend high enough to meet a soul mate.

Everybody has 7 energy points in the body which is known as the chakras.

💜The crown chakra is associated with the planets Jupiter and the sun (Neutral)

👁The third eye chakra is connected with the moon and and Jupiter (feminine)

💙The throat chakra is associated with mercury (masculine)

💚The heart chakra is connected to the moon and Venus (feminine)

💛The solar plexus chakra represents the sun and mars (masculine)

🧡The sacral chakra is associated with Venus and the moon (feminine)

❤️The root chakra is connected with Saturn (masculine)

Use your astrology chart to connect with your chakras and find out identify your strengths and weaknesses. A person who has Neptune positively aspecting their personal planets may have an active third eye chakra which makes them in intuitive , spiritual and psychic. But they may have harsh aspects to their moon where they may shy away from emotionally intimacy, be guarded or have conflict feelings. They will need to do more work on their heart / sacral chakra through out their life time for spiritual healing.

An example of this would be moon square Saturn as it can indicate mother wounds, if you don’t heal then over time you can create and an emotional wall , this where the heart chakra becomes unbalanced or blocked. By observing where your moon is in your chart you can find where you will find comfort in life and what makes you feel content.

Your birth chart is a guide of what you need to heal, the more healing you do the less likely you are to keep recycling your experiences as you will raise your vibrations you will attract your soul family, be able to manifest the life you desire and ascend higher.

I’ve written a list of how the planets can relate to our shadow side.

🪐Pluto - what we desire, obsessions , secrets

🪐Lilith - Lilith is the wildness that resides within all of us, she holds the key to the closet that holds all your skeletons. She appears as taboos, addictions, obsessions, lust, and desires

🪐Chiron -the teacher and also the healer

🪐Saturn - what we fear , what we resent , karmic patterns

🪐Venus- What and how we love

🪐Mars - our drive , aggression

🪐Mercury - our mind

🪐Neptune - how we escape

🪐Squares and oppositions - challenges , work that we need to do -

🪐8th / 12th house

Shadow work

Our shadow side is the darkenss that lies with in us. It’s something that karmic partners usually trigger with in us and our twin reflects our dark parts which helps us to ascend. In astrology we could look at the astroid Lilith sign and placement to understand our darkest parts and what triggers us , or we can look at Pluto or even the more harsh challenging aspects such as squares which sometimes makes it difficult for others to understand us or even for us to understand our selves and why be behave in certain ways.

Shadow work usually rocks up as

-healing childhood trauma/ wounds

-recognising toxic patterns , how we self sabotage ie

-acknowledging

-facing our ego

-embracing our wild side

-Devine masculine / feminine work

-Taboos sexual desires

Tarot cards I Associate with twinflames/soulmates /karmic

-Queen of wands and king of wands / devil (twin flame energy )

-The emperor (Devine masculine)

-The empress (Devine feminine)

-2 of wands / 3 of cups / 10 of cups for reunion

-Judgment -karmic

-The lovers /2of cups / ace of cups - soulmate

-Dark night of the soul / the tower

-separation 8 of cups , death

Happy new moon guys, thanks for reading. Please feel free to share your experiences/ thoughts 🖤🪐⚡️.

Cryptic Mystic: What’s Your Sign?

Many of us are fascinated by astrology and all things outer space related. The great unknown that is beyond the stars has been a hot topic for centuries. But, how did the zodiac begin? What makes astrological signs and the alignment of planets and stars so magical? Is it truly prophetic? Does your sign define your personality, past, present, and future? Or is this simply another product of the Barnum Effect?

So I’ll start by asking the obvious: “what’s your sign?” I’m a Leo through and through. While I’m skeptical about the claims of some astrological signs and their relation to my life on a daily basis, I do believe there is some truth here - as is with most things. This topic is one that I have been wanting to write about for some time now. I have always found outer space, stars, planets, etc. to be fascinating. As a child, I remember laying in the grass and watching the stars above me. In my little valley in the forest, I could see so many stars that wouldn’t be visible if I were in the city. I am so thankful I had that childhood experience of growing up somewhere where I could truly connect with nature and the simple things around me that most take for granted on a day-to-day basis. I still stargaze to this day, but I can’t see near as many as I once did in my childhood forest valley home. I’ve seen a plethora of shooting stars throughout my lifetime, two meteor showers, two solar eclipses, and plenty of unidentified objects that were likely satellites… or were they…?

One time when I was driving home from work late one night I saw something that befuddled me. As I drove down the winding 2 lane highway in the darkness of the night I saw what appeared to be a helicopter hovering right above the trees. Now, this area I was driving through was rural. There are few houses in those woods, but there are some. The backroads leading to the site where the “helicopter” was hovering are seldom traveled, especially this late at night. I began processing the event in my mind and questioning if it was a helicopter, why would it be hovering so low and what exactly would it be doing in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. It just didn’t make sense. I thought about logical explanations and could only come up with one. There is the slim possibility that someone driving on one of the many backroads in that area may have got into an accident and was getting airlifted to a hospital. I’ve seen it happen before on backroads near there. Aside from this idea, I had nothing. By this point, I had obviously slowed down so I could get a better look. Hell, there wasn’t any traffic so it’s not like I was worried about causing an accident or anything. As I looked closer I noticed it wasn’t a helicopter at all. There were about 4-6 large bright lights shining down below the area that the craft was hovering over. The circumference of this craft was much wider than a helicopter - more circular. The lights were far too big and far too bright. Whether it was fear, shock, tiredness, or my stomach growling, I continued to drive on and leave the peculiar scene behind. Now, I know this has nothing to do with astrology or zodiac signs, but it is an interesting story nonetheless. 

In reference to zodiac signs, I find that descriptions of a Leo with my particular birthdate are genuinely pretty accurate when describing my personality and conflicts. However, the daily horoscopes are definitely not accurate in my experience. I will say that when I read/listen to them I try to apply something positive from the reading to my daily life. I engage in a deeper thought process and practice mindfulness throughout the day, keeping that positive focus within my mind on the positive message I am supposed to be implementing into my day. I have also found that compatibility readings have been somewhat inaccurate as far as certain zodiac signs getting along or not getting along with other zodiac signs. The biggest obvious red flag for me is how many different sources there are. And guess what? They all say something different on the daily. If zodiac signs and horoscopes are supposed to be accurate, then why don’t all individuals who report them online all say the same thing - or at least something similar?? To play devil's advocate here, I did say earlier that I believe there is some truth to all of this, which is why it interests me so much and also why I believe in this stuff to a degree. There is a lot of magical and wondrous history to unpack in regards to the zodiac and horoscopes. So, let’s jump right in, shall we?

Interesting fact: the word zodiac is derived from Greek terminology meaning “circle of little animals.” We’re a circle of little animals - cute visuals there, eh? Hieroglyphs in Egypt dating as early as the 14th century BC were found to contain a circle of decans (constellations) depicting something that looks a lot like the constellations and zodiac symbols that we know today. In total there were 36 decans found within the temple.

During the first half of the first millennium, Babylonian astronomers created our modern zodiac. They also mapped the previous constellations that were seen in the Egyptian hieroglyphs but continued to add more as they were discovered. In the last half of the 5th century, the Babylonian astronomers divided the many constellations into 12 equal "signs” to represent the 12 months of the year at 30 days per month. Each sign contained 30° of celestial longitude, thus creating the first known celestial coordinate system. According to calculations by modern astrophysics, the zodiac was introduced between 409 and 398 BC and probably within a very few years of 401 BC. Unlike modern astrologers, who place the beginning of the sign of Aries at the place of the Sun at the vernal equinox, Babylonian astronomers fixed the zodiac in relation to stars, placing the beginning of Cancer at the "Rear Twin Star" (β Geminorum) and the beginning of Aquarius at the "Rear Star of the Goat-Fish" (δ Capricorni). Due to the precession of the equinoxes, the time of year the Sun is in a given constellation has changed since Babylonian times, the point of vernal equinox has moved from Aries into Pisces. 

You’ll be pleasantly surprised, intrigued, or disgusted to know that all of this does have some roots within religion. The Hebrew Bible shows knowledge of the Babylonian zodiac. E. W. Bullinger noted that the drawings found in the book of Ezekiel were quite similar to the middle four quarters of the zodiac (Lion/Leo, Bull/Taurus, Man/Aquarius, Eagle/Scorpio). You read that right, Scorpio is noted as being an eagle - not a scorpion. Some say that the twelve tribes of Israel are correlated with the zodiac signs found within the Hebrew 12 month calendar. There is an argument that the position of the Israelic tribes around the Tabernacle from the book of Numbers correlates with the exact order of the zodiac, with Judah, Reuben, Ephraim, and Dan representing the middle signs of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, and Scorpio, respectively. It is shocking how I have heard religious people in modern times talk about how this is all a bunch of garbage, even though some of this is literally correlated with items from the Bible.

To explain daily horoscopes and the connection between the stars, planets, and our zodiac signs, you must engage in a bit of math (yuck). When planets and constellations of the zodiac would align, the Babylonian astronomers of that time would note the experiences that people had and found similarities. These experiences, along with the position of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and constellations and the positions relative to the zodiac signs were stored within a catalogue. This went on for several years and is essentially what began our modern-day daily horoscope. However, it is my personal opinion that a lot of these “professionals” who have their own magical websites where you can get a free daily horoscope, just make shit up to sound interesting. That is obvious by the previously mentioned differentials found within each page. I encourage you to do a quick Google search and you’ll see what I’m talking about. This ties into the belief that the Barnum Effect is in play here. You’ll remember the Barnum Effect from last month's blog. If you haven’t read the June 2021 blog The Imaginarium of Barnum, I suggest you head there next to get a deeper understanding of what I’m talking about before you continue reading. Much of what is broadcasted in daily horoscopes, zodiac sign descriptions, and even within mediumship and tarot readings is full of extremely vague generalities. Because the information is presented in such a vague and generalized way, it then becomes an instance where anyone could apply any of the information to their life in some way. So as you can see, there is some psychological manipulation at play here. Now, I am not saying this is true for all who present the information. I will say that there are A LOT of shams out there. I have seen far more fake sites/readings/etc. than I have seen legit ones. If I had to give a percentage from my personal experience, I’d say about 85% of what I’ve seen is bullshit. But you choose what you believe at the end of the day. I just ask you to keep an open mind and a wise eye about you when scanning the web for horoscopes, zodiac information, tarot, and mediumship. 

All of this information is interesting to stew on within your mind. I hope that you learned something new. I know I did when I was researching this topic for the blog. The religious ties were the most surprising thing to me. What did you find most interesting? Drop a comment under the blog on Tumblr or under the Instagram post for this month’s blog and let me know. Tonight if you are able, take a look at the stars and see if you can find the constellations. The plethora of shapes within the brightest stars are brilliant to gaze upon. Who knows, maybe you will find your zodiac constellation. Maybe you will depict a new constellation on your own by combining different combinations of stars. Or maybe you’ll see something that you can’t explain…

Astrology

Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies. Interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.

The following list details sun signs (the main sign you're born under), their dates, and ruling planets.

Aries ♈ - March 20-April 18 - Mars

Taurus ♉ - April 19-May 20 - Venus

Gemini ♊ - May 21-June 20 - Mercury

Cancer ♋ - June 21-July 22 - Moon

Leo ♌ - July 23- August 22 - Sun

Virgo ♍ - August 23-September 22 - Mercury

Libra ♎ - September 23-October 22 - Venus

Scorpio ♏- October 23-November 21 - Mars

Sagittarius ♐ - November 22-December 21 - Jupiter

Capricorn ♑ - December 22-January 19 - Saturn

Aquarius ♒ - January 20- February 18 - Uranus

Pisces ♓ - February 19-March 19 - Neptune

Below are the ruling planets and their area of influences:

Rising Sign (Ascendent) - The sign on the Eastern Horizon on the day you were born.

Setting Sign (Descendent) - 180° opposite your Rising Sign.

Midheaven - Is crucial in many applications of astrology, especially in forecasting career shifts and other life-changing events. It shows your career path, major goals, achievements, life direction, and your status or reputation in the eyes of the world.

Imum Coeli - Opposite of your Midheaven.

Now the North and South Nodes are not celestial bodies, they are points where the moon's orbit and the plane of the ecliptic converge during the time you were born. Together, they tell the story of your soul's journey through every life you've lived so far.

Chiron is known as the "wounded healer" and this affects all aspects of our wellness, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

When you are born the planets are in a specific zodiac placement and a specific house. There are twelve of these houses just as there are twelve zodiac signs. Below is a list of the houses and their area of influences.

First House - Appearance, outward personality

Second House - Money, possessions, values

Third House - Communication, immediate environment, siblings

Fourth House - Home, parents, roots, circumstances

Fifth House - Romance, children, creativity, fun

Sixth House - Work, health, service

Seventh House - Marriage and other partnerships

Eighth House - Sex, death, regeneration, other people's money

Ninth House - Higher education, travel, religion, philosophy, publishing, law

Tenth House - Career, status, reputation

Eleventh House - Friends, groups, goals and aspiration

Twelfth House - Seclusion, secrets, spirituality, self sabotage, institutions.

To get your birth chart and all it's aspects you will need your birthday (month, day, year, exact time and hometown.) Without an accurate time you'll never know your rising sign and the placements won't be trustworthy.

-If you would lime to know your chart you can download AstroMatrix (not sure if it's on Apple though) or google Cafe Astrology.-

hockey astrology (sun) signs I didn’t know that either absolutely shocked me or make absolute sense:

this post has taken me FOREVER to finally get up but it was so fun to research about considering these are 2 subjects i enjoy a lot! more than half of it is definitely just me geeking over the complexities of astrology even when all I knew were the sun sign parings and the post is slightly long but it’s all pretty interesting info so here it is!

things that just make sense:

kevin hayes is a taurus

honestly describes his whole energy and I’m not surprised whatsoever

 mikko rantanen is an october scorpio vs petey being a november scorpio

 october scorpios often are a mix of passion & compassion

think complexly but are utterly genuine and physical

are persistent

charming & intriguing in the eyes of others

 vs the early November deacon aka the PISCES DECANTE

 like super shy and reserved and attentive and mysterious yet intriguing and if that DOESN’t describe Elias Pettersson then idk what does

2nd decan has the same ruling planets as pisces

causes scorpio & pisces have a lot of common traits or get along well (cough cough Brock Boeser)

are careful in picking friends & companions, empathetic

PLD IS A FUCKING CANCER !!

this literally just makes so??? Much???? Sense??? To me. Like all the generic/common traits of cancers are things that I’d totally see in him

cancers are commonly loyal, dependable (often are the secret keepers), enigmatic, charming, and intuitive

 often are more into maintaining friendships (maybe through knowing and keeping their friends secrets), and being more lowkey

vindictive

landy is a sagittarius & ej is an aries

an elite friendship and their zodiac pairing really shows it

often both signs are super good at understanding each other, have common traits (spontaneity, activity, curiosity) and inclinations that make them get along easily!

someone online said that the signs “complete each other”, Aries admire honesty, friendliness & open-mindedness while sag adores Aries’ optimistic & bold traits

also both signs are relatively outdoorsy signs so its common they bond over sports/activity

where did you come from because i just cant make sense of this?:

uhhh tito’s a gemini?!?!?!??!?!

 @royaltyofhockeylosers told me this and I’ve never met 2 gemini’s that get along so HOW are him and mat so attached

also it’s not just that they’re Geminis because the different deacons usually add difference (ok im getting too complicated ash shut up) but they’re like 3 days after each other meaning that they’re probably in the same deacon

jt compher is an Aries and josty is a pisces

 now this might be me projecting but I’ve just never met an Aries and pisces who get along well

like fire sign vs water sign, often have completely opposing energies but honestly good for them

matthew tkachuk is a sagitarrius

he just doesn’t really radiate sag energy to me? no i cannot explain

ok actually i did further search and i can see some of the traits

aka passionate, confident, enthusiastic and secure

i was honestly expecting him to be a leo though 

leos are often charming, loyal, slightly narcissistic, natural leaders, and protective

i’m just very ????? i would like to see the rest of his chart bc his sag energy is so unlike landeskog’s 

except i did find an online chart and it said landy had a scorpio moon which could explain their different kinda vibes

other cool things/relations:

jamie the cancer & seggy the aquarius aka opposites attract in its finest

 “Aquarius have a modern, flashy outlook of life while cancer are sensitive and emotional in nature. Aquarius are energetic and friendly (aka people people) while cancer tend to retire to themselves”

cancers are often traditional while Aquarius often rebel

aka a modern case of opposites attract

cancers often teach Aquarius hospitality while Aquarius teach them problem solving

Aquarius are defensive

cancers help break that wall while Aquarius helps to build it/be less self-conscious in cancers

aquarius often relaxed & unconventional 

social and business savvy

brock Boeser is a 1st decan pisces

ruled by Neptune & characterized by romanticism, selflessness, & intuition

usually have a positive and optimistic towards life

other common traits:

 dreamy romantic nature

pretty good and sensing others emotions and helping others’

deal with things in a calm/polite way

prefers to seek comfort 

very selfless

seriously this was stressed like 20 times in the article i read

meanwhile Tyson Jost is a 3rd decan pisces

usually spiritual in nature (i totally added this bc I saw him listening to 187 htz the other day)

passionately loves the people around them, willing to devote themselves to things they found worthwhile

other common traits: 

willing to try anything

easily adaptable

dreamer, ambitious, persevering

EXTREMELY compassionate & kind, find helping/supporting others a natural instinct

favor empathy, selfless & generous

honorable mention for things that make sense: 

anton kudobin is also a taurus and im convinced that’s where the chaotic energy comes from…seriously something about Taureans is just chaotic yet comforting at the same time

Black holes

A black hole is a region of space-time where gravity is so strong that nothing, no particles or even electromagnetic radiation such as light can escape from it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform space-time to form a black hole. Although the event horizon has an enormous effect on the fate and circumstances of an object crossing it, according to general relativity it has no locally detectable features. Black holes of stellar mass are expected to form when very massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed, it can continue to grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. By absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses may form. There is consensus that supermassive black holes exist in the centres of most galaxies.

The multiverse

The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information and the physical laws of constants that describe them. The different universes within the multiverse are called “parallel universes”, “other universes”, “alternate universes” and “quantum universes”. Multiple universes have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, music and all kind of literature, particualary in science fiction,comic books and fantasy. Around 2010 a scientist analysed data and claimed to find eveidence suggesting that are universe had collided with other parallel universes in the distant past. There are nine types of multiverses: quilted, inflationary, brane, cyclic, landscape, quantum, holographic, simulated, ultimate.

Galaxies

Galaxies are vast cosmic islands of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. Hubble’s keen eye has revealed intricate details of the shapes, structures and histories of galaxies whether alone, as part of small groups or within immense clusters. From supermassive black holes at galactic centres to giant bursts of star formation to titanic collisions between galaxies, these discoveries allow astronomers to probe the current properties of galaxies as well as examine how they formed and developed over time. Astronomers classify galaxies into three major categories: elliptical, spiral and irregular. These galaxies span a wide range of sizes, from dwarf galaxies containing as few as 100 million stars to giant galaxies with more than a trillion stars.

Elliptical galaxies, which account for about one-third of all galaxies vary from being nearly circular to being very elongated. They possess comparatively little gas and dust, contain older stars and are not actively forming stars anymore. The largest and the rarest of these, called giant ellipticals are about 300,000 light years across.

Spiral galaxies appear as flat, blue- white disks of stars, gas and dust with yellowish bulges in there centres. These galaxies are divided into two groups: normal spirals and barred spirals. In the barred spirals, the bar of the stars runs through the central bulge. The arms of barred spirals usually start at the end of the bar instead of form the bulge. Spirals are actively forming stars and comprise a large fraction of all the galaxies in the local universe.

Irregular galaxies, which are have very little dust, are neither disk-like not elliptical. Astronomers often see irregular galaxies as they peer deeply into the universe, which is equivalent to looking back in time. The galaxies are abundant in the early universe, before spirals and ellipticals developed.

Pinwheel galaxies is a face on spiral galaxy situated 21 million light years away from earth, it is a large galaxy with a diameter of 170,000 light years. It has around a trillion stars, it has a disk mass on the order of 100 billion solar masses, with a small central bulge with about 3 billion solar masses.

Horoscopes

A horoscope is an astrological chart or diagram representing the positions of the sun, moon, planets, astrological aspects and sensitive angles at the time of an event, such as the moment of a persons birth. The word horoscope is derived from the Greek words ōra and scoops meaning “time” and “observer”. It is used as a method of divination regarding events relating to the point in time it represents, and it forms the basis of the horoscopic traditions of astrology. The positions of the actual planets(including the sun and moon) are placed in the chart, along with those of purely calculated factors such as the lunar nodes, the house cusps including the midheaven and the ascendant, zodiac signs, fixed stars and the lots. How the stars were placed at the of birth for a person shows their characteristics and personality, including weakness. It is very similar to the Chinese zodiac. There are 12 zodiac signs which include: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. A persons zodiac sign is determined by the date that they were born.

Sacred geometry

Scared geometry ascribes symbolic and scared meanings to certain geometric proportions. It’s is associated with the belief that a god is a geometry of the world. The geometry used in the design and construction of religious of structures such as churches, temples, mosques,religious monuments, altars, sacred groves, holy wells and religious art. The study of sacred geometry has roots from the study of nature,many forms in nature can be related to geometry for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so it’s shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape. Also honeybees contract hexagonal cells to hold their honey. These and other correspondences are sometimes interpreted in terms of sacred geometry and considered to be further proof of the natural significance of geometric forms. Geometric patterns often appear in the Islamic religion, you see them on kilometres carpets, architecture, art, decorative vaulting and stained glass. They also seen in Hinduism and Christianity and are seen on various differnt things.

Planning your day according to the stars

Nakshatras, tithis, pakshas, yogas and karanas are some of the main elements of the panchang, the sidereal astrology based Hindu calendar. They represent the moon's current phase, position and alignment, and are useful to determine the overall auspiciousness of the day and its most favorable and unfavorable activities. If you believe in planning your day according to the stars, a panchang app is a must have. As a first look at the panchang can be a very confusing experience for someone who isn't familiarized with the vedic astrology terms, this posts seeks to be your helping hand by giving a detailed explanation of the elements mentioned in the start of this paragraph and how you can apply them to your daily life. Other than the things said here, panchang also contains lots of utilities for astrology enthusiasts like current rising sign, sun rise hour, moon rise hour and many other things. Now let's get to the point:

Pakshas

Pakshas are the two fortnights of the moon. Shukla Paksha is waxing/full moon, while Krishna Paksha is waning/new moon.

Shukla Paksha is mostly auspicious while Krishna Paksha is mostly inauspicious, though the pakshas alone aren't enough to decide the auspiciousness of a day. In general terms, the farther from the full moon, the worst, and the closer, the better. If Moon is afflicted in your natal chart, Krishna Paksha can actually be more favorable to you than Shukla Paksha, as Moon will be in a weaker state and thus will have less power to generate obstacles in your life.

Tithis

Tithis are lunar days, which are calculated according to the moon's relative position from the sun. There are 30 tithis:

PRATIPADA

Favorable for all activities except traveling. Means increase.

DWITYA

Auspicious. Good for starting things.

TRITYA

Means powerful. Good for taking care of body, beauty and health, and for building and undertaking projects.

CHATURTHI

Means cruelty. Is unfavorable and specially not good for traveling and starting new activities.

PANCHAMI

An excellent day for traveling, learning and obtaining wealth. Means prosperity.

SHASHTI

A regular tithi. Good for most things except traveling and marriage. Favours effort.

SAPTAMI

Auspicious for all activities. Means friendliness.

ASHTAMI

Not good for starting new projects but good for working hard on what's been already started. Not favorable for romance due to its aggressive nature. Means conflict.

NAVAMI

Not favorable for traveling. Good for business and for taking positions of authority. Means fierce.

DASHAMI

Excellent for traveling. This tithi brings happiness and has a very lighthearted energy. Means gentleness.

EKADASHI

Means bliss. Very auspicious for anything except starting new projects. Brings good reputation.

DWADASHI

Good for study, learning, construction and undertaking new projects. Not good for traveling as it may result in financial loss.

TRAYODASHI

Favorable for making friends, constructing alliances, pursuing education and starting something. Means victory.

CHATURDASHI

This tithi has an aggressive energy and is mostly unfavorable.

PURNIMA

The day of full moon. Very auspicious for anything except traveling and new projects.

The remaining tithis that lead to the new moon have the same name and meanings mentioned above.

AMAVASYA

The day of new moon. Unfavorable for most things except religious and spiritual practices. Traveling is forbidden.

Karana

A karana is half a lunar day. There are 11 karanas:

BAVA

Very auspicious. Means strength, vitality, health.

BALAVA [BAALAV, BAALAVA]

Auspicious. Represents charity and spirituality.

KAULAVA

Favorable for social contact and any type of relationship.

TAITILA

A Karana associated with construction and house building. Also favors popularity.

GARA

Favorable for gardening, seeding, farming and any activities related to land and home. Propitious for undertaking new projects.

VANIJA

Favorable for business, exchanges, financial and public activities, all types of relationships and associations, and for starting long lasting friendships.

VISHTI

A very inauspicious karana and destructive karana that attracts violence.

SAKUNI

Favorable for healing, health, taking medicine and administering herbs.

CHATUSHPADA

Favorable for politics and public affairs as well as animal related activities.

NAGA

Another inauspicious karana that brings warlike energies.

KINTUGHNA

An auspicious karana that enhances virtue and spirituality. Favorable for marriages, religious cerimonies, acts of charity and activity made with unconditional love.

Nakshatras

Nakshatras are lunar mansions, or small sections of wider constellations like Virgo, Sagittarius, Orion etc. While not all of them belong to a zodiacal constellation, every nakshatra belongs to a zodiac sign, because even for sidereal astrology, signs and constellations are not the same thing. Though nakshatras are are of fundamental importance in natal chart interpretation, I will focus on their use in daily life. Each nakshatra has its own shakti (power) and, unlike tithis and yogas, most of them aren't necessarily good or bad. As nakshatras have a complex symbolism, their favorable and unfavorable activities are also open to much interpretation. Taking notes on their influence on our daily lives is the best way to learn about them. There are 27 nakshatras:

ASHWINI ♈

This is a nakshatra of healing and is presided by the gods of medicine. It has the power of quickly obtaining things. Favorable for starting anything. It has a strong energy and is favorable for traveling but unfavorable for cultivating ground. It's ruled by Ketu, the South lunar node.

BHARANI ♈

Bharani is ruled by Yama, the god of the death, and has the power to take things away. It has a strong restraining energy and brings discipline and order, removing everything that has already fulfilled its roled. It's controlled by the planet Venus.

KRITTIKA ♈♉

This solar nakshatra is ruled by Agni, the god of fire, and has the power of renewal. Means purification and removes negative energies. Is favorable for the daily mundane activities as well as anything related to purification.

ROHINI ♉

Rohini is a nakshatra of fertility ruled by the Moon himself. It has the power of growth. It's favorable for gardening, farming, romance, traveling, beauty, creative pursuits and anything that is related to growth and fertility. It's associated with the creator god Prajapati. Days ruled by Rohini are very auspicious.

MRIGASIRA ♉♊

Mrigasira is presided by the Moon God and the planet Mars and has the power of bestowing fulfilment. It's mostly favorable for all activities.

ARDRA ♊

Ardra means teardrop and is ruled by God Shiva and the Lunar North Node. It's a nakshatra of struggle, which enhances strength. Represents constant effort and hardships and it's not meant for the weak. If you want things to run smoothly, avoid days ruled by Ardra nakshatra. And if you're a Scorpio, that's the worst day for you - as the it means the moon is going through your eighth house, which won't make things any easier.

PUNARVASU ♊♋

Punarvasu is presided by motherly goddess Aditi and ruled by Jupiter, thus a very gentle and auspicious nakshatra, favorable for all activities except the ones that demand suspiciousness and aggressiveness, like taking legal actions. It has the power of wealth.

It's also a nakshatra of power and status, represented by a royal throne. It favours any activity related to the past, the dead, power, career, history, museums, the positions of authority and the public life. Also good for finishing things.

PURVA PHALGUNI ♌

Ruled by Venus, it has the power of procreation. Good for all activities related to union and fertility. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

UTTARA PHALGUNI ♌♍

Uttara Phalguni is a nuptial nakshatra with the power of bestowing prosperity through alliances, specifically marriages. It is ruled by the Sun. Favorable for love as well as all sorts of diplomatic and contractual relationships.

HASTA ♍

Hasta is ruled by Moon and its name means "the blessing hand". It has the power of fulfilling wishes and achieving goals quickly and fully. Hasta's vibration is positive and revitalizing. It's favorable for most activities, but shows greater potential with those related to its sign, Virgo: crafts, domestic work, traveling, organizing etc.

CHITRA ♍♎

Chitra is the star of merit and it is ruled by Mars and the celestial architect Vishwakarma. It has a solene feel to it, as it means divine justice and dharma. Chitra bestows the fruit of our good deeds. Good for justice, spirituality and all that is related to Libra.

SWATI ♎

The star of transformation, ruled by the Lunar North Node and the god of wind, Vayu. It has the power of change and movement. Like the wind, Swati removes obstacles and spreads freedom.

VISHAKA ♎♏

The star of harvest, ruled by Jupiter along with the king of gods Indra and the fire god Agni, two of eldest vedic deities. As its name suggests, it's another nakshatra related to reaping the results of our deeds. It favours slow, long term changes.

PURVASHADHA ♐

One more fierce nakshatra, ruled by the half-demon warrior god Venus (yes, it's a he, it's a half demon and it's a warrior, might write an article about it later) and the water deity Apas. It has the power of cleansing. Like a waterfall, it brings revitalization through deep purification.

UTTARASHADHA ♐♑

The invincible nakshatra, ruled by the Sun, with the power of victory. Extremely lucky.

SHRAVANA ♑

Ruled by the Moon and Vishnu, Shravana has the power of connection. Like Anuradha, it has a receptive energy and brings people together. It favours solidarity and cooperation.

BONUS: PLANETARY LORDS OF DAY AND HOUR

In vedic astrology there's a planetary lord for each day of the week and each hour of the day, a concept that was also widely popular in medieval Western astrology. In India it's mostly used to determine the best times to worship each of the nine planetary gods, or Navagrahas, though planetary hours and days can also be useful for mundane tasks. The favorable subjects of the weekdays are the ones attributed to their ruling planets: law and religion for Jupiter, beauty and pleasure for Venus, intellect for Mercury, growth and nourishment for Moon etc.

The rulers of the weekdays (varas) are the same as in Western tradition:

Monday [Somavara] - Moon

Tuesday [Mangalavara] - Mars

Wednesday [Budhavara] - Mercury

Thursday [Guruvara] - Jupiter

Friday [Shukravara] - Venus

Saturday [Shanivara] - Saturn

Sunday [Ravivara] - Sun

The rulers of the planetary hours (hora) vary according to the day, the ruler of the first hour of the day (when the sun rises) being always the ruler of the current weekday. Every panchang app has a section that shows the current planetary hora.

The lunar nodes Ketu and Rahu don't rule any specific day or hour, but if one seeks their favor is advisable to avoid the hours and days ruled by their enemies: Sun and Moon.

Applying panchang to your daily routine

In the app Suryalaya, one of the few astrology apps to feature the Galactic Center ayanamsa, we can have a view of today's (now yesterday's, it's past midnight as I write this) panchang.

Today is a Thursday, day of Jupiter

Tithi Chaturdashi - aggressiveness

Nakshatra Vishaka - changes, harvesting the results of our deeds

Yoga Shiva - bliss

Karana Vanija - union

Regarding to auspiciousness, we can say that today is a regular day. Tithi chaturdashi and nakshatra Vishaka, combined with the moral straightness of Jupiter, suggests this is a highly karmic day where people will be treated according to their actions. Those who have been righteous will be rewarded and those who have been in the wrong path will go through some sort of punishment. As the day has both elements of assertiveness and empathy, we can also reach the conclusion that this is a favorable moment for solving differences through deep and honest discussion, using angry in a constructive way.

Because it's hard to find all this information reunited in a single place, I wrote this post as a cheat sheet for those who want to use panchang as a guide for their daily activities. Though the content here is very summarized and doesn't make justice to the wonderful complexity of vedic astrology, I hope it can somehow be useful to the reader.

I was tagged by @beautifulcinephile and @strawberrylight. Thanks guys!

Instructions: go to cafeastrology.com and generate your natal chart. Copy the descriptions for your sun, moon, and rising signs. Bold the portions you feel apply to you.

Sun is in Libra ♎️

Libra natives are generally thought to be sociable, somewhat intellectual souls. They have an almost innocent way about them that makes them very approachable. Generally quite eager to cooperate, Librans spend a lot of their time trying not to rock the boat.

In theory, Libras are peace-loving. In practice, they can quietly stir up all sorts of trouble with their ways. Because Libra enjoys balance in their lives, they seek the middle ground. In the process, they may end up trying to be everything to everyone. This is where their reputation for untruthfulness comes from. Generally, their untruths spring from a true desire for peace and fairness--although they may not be comfortable with direct and malicious trickery, they feel totally justified when they lie in order to avoid making waves. Peace at any price! In this sense, they seem harmless. But, what can result is quite a ruckus! People involved with Libras may crib about their lack of directness and their apparent inability to take a stand. Librans are experts at avoiding being the one to blame. When confronted, they'll (calmly and reasonably) say, "What, me? No, I just want peace." "On the fence", "middle ground", "middle road" -- these are all expressions that we can safely associate with Libra. Some more powerful signs may consider Libra a little on the weak side. This is all a matter of opinion, however! Without Libra, life simply wouldn't be as fair.

Librans are known for comparing and thinking in relative terms, instead of in absolutes. This weekend is not just a good weekend, it's better than last weekend. As a Libra, you are always looking for the "best" way or the "right" way to live. Harmony is the ultimate goal, but your idealism and high expectations can amount to plenty of discontent. Since life presents all of us with an extraordinary amount of choices, if you don't learn to live in the moment at least some of the time, you'll be in a constant state of unrest.

You're extremely sensitive to imbalances around you. You aim to meet others halfway, and you definitely keep count in a relationship! As an Air sign, you live in your head more than most people, and as a Cardinal sign, you aim to take action. It's true that you can be a procrastinator, but ultimately, you are moved to get things done, but you seek to do so with tact, grace, and consideration for others.

Society needs rules, and these rules attempt to bring justice, equality, and fairness. On an individual level, Libra represents these laws of civilization. As a Libra, you are very civilized and rather refined. You are diplomatic and fair. You can be indecisive and can suffer from "paralysis by analysis," but you also see many different levels of any situation and can always see others' points of view.

Libra is associated with copper, pastel colors, opals, emeralds, pink quartz, both silver and gold jewelry, the number 6, and Fridays.

Moon is in Pisces ♓️

Those with the Moon in Pisces are known to be dreamy and not always in touch with reality. However, though you may not always show real-world savvy in day-to-day, practical affairs, you make up for this with remarkable intuition. You can put yourself in anybody's shoes with extreme ease. On the plus side, this endows you with remarkable compassion and love. The downside with this apparent ability to break down boundaries is that you can easily lose yourself in the suffering of others.

With your Moon sign Pisces, your sense of humor is delightfully silly and a bit odd. You are a perceptive soul who seems to be in touch with all the nuances and subtleties of human nature. Often this comes through in a strong sense of humor that is more of the receptive kind than the type of sense of humor that would make people the "life of the party." It's generally pretty easy to get them laughing. Crying, too!

Moon in Pisces people may get tagged as "spaced out," but there's a lot more to them than meets the eye. They feel things out and rely quite strongly on their intuition. It just doesn't feel right for them to do otherwise. Their dreaminess can mean plenty of moments of absent-mindedness. These times of oblivion can land them in all sorts of predicaments with others who can too easily misunderstand these complex souls. Without plenty of space and time to daydream, Pisces Moons easily get overloaded in life. Give them room to be alone with themselves, and they're generally able to take on the world--even if their style when they do so is not always conventional or understandable.

Generally considered soft-hearted and sweet, you care about others and are easily touched by human suffering. This tendency can gain you the reputation as a sucker for a sob story. Although this may sometimes be true, you learn in your lifetime how to discern between sincerity and manipulation. Still, you definitely do have plenty of soft corners.

This is a powerfully creative and artistic Moon. It's also one of the most understanding and nuanced combinations.

There's a delightful accepting side to Moon in Pisces that is sometimes mistaken for weakness. Pisces is the twelfth and last sign of the zodiac, and thus carries with it a little of each sign of the zodiac. As a result, Pisces sees themselves reflected in the behavior of others, giving them seemingly boundless compassion. Since the Moon represents our instinctive nature, Moon in Pisces seems to know how things feel without actual experience. They may have never experienced something but still seem to understand it -- even, or especially, the subtleties of it. The ones that aren't too shy make awesome actors. The ability to empathize even in the absence of experience gives them an open mind and heart. Most long to express this through writing, music (both listening and making), poetry, and art --in fact, the more satisfied people with this position do just that. Nevertheless, this is a searching Moon sign that is often divinely discontent!

Though some are doormats, most Pisces Moon people instinctively know when they're due for a much-needed recharge. It's at these times that they retreat from the world (and its harsh realities) if only to gather strength to face everything and everyone again. Solitude is important to them, but they also need people, so their retreats will usually be short-lived. Pisces Moon individuals believe; and, let's face it, the world needs Piscean leaps of faith.

You are a bit of an escapist or avoider. You don't always feel equipped to face things head-on. Although your intentions are usually good, a potential weakness is your ability to "get out of" things. When you are emotionally present, though, you are a wonderfully entertaining, understanding, and kind-hearted person to be around.

Virgo Ascendant ♍️

People with Virgo rising are often a little understated in their personal mannerisms and appearance, although a lot depends on the position of Mercury (the ruling planet of Virgo) in the chart. There is an intelligent and reserved aura about Virgo rising individuals that is unmistakable, however.

You may come across as somewhat shy or aloof, as you need time to analyze everything around you before you warm up to both situations and people. This quality can be received exactly as that, or it can be received as a rather stand-offish, cool, and even critical manner (depending on the audience).

One of the strongest personality traits of this position is body-awareness. You can be particularly sensitive to any discomfort or other signals your body gives you. For this reason, you can be particularly concerned with physical health and might be drawn to mind-body awareness exercises such as yoga. You might also be quite particular with food! Although some people with Virgo rising have good appetites, there can be an unmistakable pickiness about what they put in--and on--their bodies.

You are likely to worry a lot, especially when confronted with new situations. It's difficult not to since you notice the tiniest details that others overlook. Your powers of observation are through the roof, but sometimes this trait adds too much to the anxiety pile.

With Virgo rising, it's definite that you have Pisces on the Descendant. This can point to a tendency to attract (or be attracted to) people who need help, which can lead to uncomfortable or confusing situations -- sometimes you feel taken advantage of. Despite the Virgo rising tendency to appear rather collected and professional, relationships can sometimes get messy simply because you don’t always see your partners and partnerships clearly. You want to see the best in a partner.

You absolutely have your own way of doing things! Some may even call your methods unusual or peculiar, but they get the job done. It's very true that Virgo is a flexible sign -- after all, it's from the Mutable mode family -- and you often make accommodations for others. However, your way is the right way, and as much as you allow others to do their own thing, you demand the right to do the same. You've put a lot of time and energy into your methods, after all.

You work hard at whatever you do. Always going the extra mile, you have a difficult time being idle. As hard as you work, however, you may not always be focused on the big prize. For one, worry and particularness can slow you down -- you can be quite the perfectionist. For another, you're not always comfortable in the spotlight. However, this trait can be modified by the position and condition of Mercury in your chart, by sign, house, and aspect. For example, if Mercury is in Aquarius, you may not mind standing out from the crowd!

You work best at projects that you can oversee and manage slowly. Starting small and expanding slowly but surely is definitely the better choice for you, as situations that seem beyond your control can overwhelm you too quickly. Your confidence builds as you move along at your own pace. Watch that you don't miss out on opportunities because of the high standards you have for yourself. You may not think you can handle something, but if you give it a try, you may very well realize that you worried about it for nothing.

You can be highly skilled at what you do. It's no surprise that there are many artisans among you with your meticulous attention to detail and your desire to perfect and hone your craft. You might also be drawn to projects and lines of work that involve a lot of research, analysis, classification, and detail work.

You can come across as a little cool or critical, often without even realizing it. In truth, you are kind and concerned. You do live in your head so much that you can end up not trusting your intuition -- something to watch for! You are not obviously demonstrative. You are an earthy and sensual being, but it doesn't show up in first impressions.

Orderliness is vital to you. Chaotic situations stress you out more than they do others. You quickly become aware of all the variables involved in a new situation, and it's important to you that you feel you can manage them. With Mercury your sign's ruler, you can be given to fretting, tension, and nervousness. You certainly aim to pay attention to the smallest details. You can be a great lover of lists, catalogs, and schedules. Feeling organized finds you at your happiest!

You possess a quiet charm, and once you have the chance to warm up to new people and situations, you have much to offer. In other words, it's worth the extra effort that people may need to put in to get to know you! You'll help people out of a jam, go out on a limb for others, and surprise them with a natural modesty hiding behind a somewhat critical and standoffish manner.

The sphere of influence of this planet includes the third and sixth houses. 

The third house represents the self-expression of the individual in the everyday environment: the way a person expresses his thoughts in oral and written speech, communicates with the household and strangers, for example, with fellow travelers in transport. 

The sixth house is health, social duty, service relations.

In the field of physiology, mercury affects primarily the five senses, nervous and autonomic systems. 

Public duty means helping people. It can be charity or volunteer work.

In the business segment, mercury regulates relations between colleagues, superiors and subordinates. 

His favorite professions are journalists, teachers, publishers, trade and service workers. 

The principle 

The principle of Most-specific mercury feature "character" is traditionally considered the ability to establish relationships. Still myths talked about how, that mercury (Hermes) is mediator between Olympus and Earth, envoy gods, linking their the world with the world people by transfer of information (of command gods people, requests people the gods). 

In other words, it connects the systems and processes of different levels of hierarchy, for example, giving a discrete form of continuous information (expressing images with words and signs — analysis and thinking), defining the interaction of the type head-subordinate, human-organism (hygiene), organism-organs (disease), teacher-student. 

Functions 

The realization of the mercury principle, the relationship between the wholes of different levels of hierarchy, requires the establishment of contacts between them. And this requires exactly those properties, a symbol which traditionally is rational thinking, the ability to create mental concepts, gather information, formulate thoughts, to separate the important from the unimportant, the desire and ability to understand the interlocutor, activity, and mediation skills. 

These qualities are realized in different ways in specific tasks — in science and business, in journalism and biology, in interaction between people, but no matter how they are realized, they are always aimed at establishing contacts and exchanging information or material values, at forming the efforts of different entities to solve such problems. 

The role 

The role of the principle of the mercury causes it to be the one to lead the search for an adequate way of expressing creative start sun gathers many diverse and equally significant facts, totally detached from their evaluation and synthesis, with a view to their subsequent integration someone in any system that seeks to share and make it public domain. 

Mercury's role most fully corresponds to that of a mediator. However, we should not forget that the mediator in this case is, as well as the definition of the principles, functions and roles of the other planets, a symbol of the role of mercury. 

Strong mercury 

Harmonious compounds enhance the activity of thought, give intellectual abilities liveliness and originality, give a brilliant wit and a great sense of humor. 

"Darling" mercury is an excellent judge of people. He clearly knows what he wants from life and how to achieve it. 

Weak mercury 

When mercury is affected, a person's life can be overshadowed by speech defects, nervous pathologies, inability to Express their thoughts in simple and understandable language. 

Traits – deceit, inconstancy in love. Sometimes there is a tendency to kleptomania. 

The most serious threat to health is schizophrenia. 

Harmonious aspects 

In school and student years there is a sincere interest in learning, which creates the preconditions for future achievements. 

The ability to clothe thoughts in beautiful words can be transformed into a bright literary talent. Successful self-realization is also possible in other creative spheres. Among the representatives of the harmonious mercury there are many diplomats and scientists. 

The good aspects represent sound judgment. Man is endowed with the ability to easily make contact, he always has a lot of friends. 

Another pleasant moment – the success of the opposite sex. But excessive attention to this side of life can seriously interfere with a career. 

The main danger is laziness. Succumbing to it, a gifted and extraordinary person can turn into a frivolous hedonist. 

Tense aspects 

They define the range of tasks that need to be addressed. It can be difficulties in communication, study or disharmonious style of speech. 

The main obstacle to happiness and success is a distorted perception of reality. Gives a lot of trouble and a penchant for sarcastic remarks. The evil language is an offense households, the alienation of friends, the hostility of his superiors and colleagues. 

See own shortcomings man often prevents a sense of superiority over other, and also skepticism. Often he uses his potential only for selfish purposes. 

But the stressful aspects mean more than problems. They point the way to overcome them. If necessary, you need to improve your speech. The audience doesn't hear "awesome", according to the author, the story? So you have to make an effort and admit that the story is not so good. And still-to raise the educational level, to read more books, to improve writing skills. 

In General, to overcome negative influences, it is necessary to leave in the past the usual life matrix and learn to listen to other people, to respect their point of view.

Rulership of Time

Astrology functions as an assessment of temporal quality, but is the archetype of time ruled by any particular sign? Preface The wheel of the zodiac is often depicted with Aries on the left, thus keeping it in line with the houses: that is, Aries corresponds to the ascendant and first house, Taurus occupies the second house, and so on.

However, there are some interesting patterns that emerge under other rotations. Rotating the wheel one sign counter clockwise, so that the first house is held by Taurus, we find Cancer and Leo on either side of the nadir, the lowest point of the wheel. This emphasizes the wonderful symmetry between each pair of signs that share rulers:

The exception being, of course, the Sun and Moon which rule one sign each. This might point to a secret identification between these forces, which are typically conceptualized as the most fundamental opposites: consciousness and the unconscious, light and dark, etc. The arcane marriage of these principles is a motif which humanity has been pondering since antiquity. Positioning this syzygy at the bottom of the wheel gives the impression that the other signs spring forth from this coupling as a series of portraits from one luminary to the other; as call and response music, or dance steps. One can say that the entire zodiac functions as a mythological alphabet that elaborates of the riddle of the Sun and Moon.

Time Under this cosmic lens, let’s examine a feature essential to our experience of the universe: time. Where does time show up in the zodiac? Can any particular sign be said to govern this concept? At the very least, we can draw the strongest general associations between time and these signs:

If you ask astrologers which sign most corresponds to the concept of time, Gemini would be a common and reasonable answer. It is the traditional ruler of clocks and measurements of time, and is said to rule the time-dependent concepts of transit and commuting.

Capricorn is another traditional response, since it rules the schedule, the time table, the restriction of time, the inexorable march of time. Father Time, the bearded old man with the scythe and the hourglass, is one of the most well known personifications of Saturn.

Aquarius is a bit more esoteric in this regard, but perfectly valid. Aquarius is most associated with the concepts of the instant, the moment ... suddenness! Moreover, it is the traditional ruler of kairos, the ancient Greek idea of “pregnant time.” From Wikipedia:

The ancient Greeks had two words for time: chronos (χρόνος) and kairos. The former refers to chronological or sequential time, while the latter signifies a proper or opportune time for action. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature.

Chronos is a clear attribute of Capricorn, therefore these two notions of time are represented by the two Saturn-ruled signs. These two signs are farthest from our supposed origin-nadir, the Cancer/Leo threshold. Capricorn is opposite Cancer, and Aquarius is opposite Leo. This suits the mythological conception of Saturn as the demiurge, the architect of mundane incarnation, the mechanic of the machinery of the cosmos.

To complete this symmetry, we would hope that Virgo is also associated with time. That way, Saturn-ruled signs can roost up at the dome of time, representing its furthest limits, while Mercury ruled signs can reflect each other as attendants to the atemporal solar/lunar archetypes, initiating those forces into the game of time. Gemini does this job perfectly for the Moon, showing how time is “reflected” in the mind through the image of the clock.

So, is Virgo then one of our rulers of time? Ever humble and self-diminishing, Virgo does not jump out as readily as the others, but it does indeed complete a very crucial and unglamorous role. Any astrologer will tell you that Virgo rules punctuality. That is, the adherence to time. If Gemini is the clock at the train station, and Capricorn is the schedule, and Aquarius is the fortune of sliding through the closing door, then Virgo is the plain fact of showing up on time.

So it is clear that there are affinities between rulerships. The two mercury-ruled signs rule basic, mundane relationships to time: time measurement and time observance. The two Saturn-ruled signs rule the extremes of time: time’s bondage and time’s potentiation. There are also affinities between elements, which we explore later. But there are also delightful parallels between the pairs of signs which share no essential qualities. Consider that Gemini and Capricorn both rule structural, objective attributes of time, summarized by the clock and the schedule respectively. The other pair rules more subjective qualities of time: Virgo corresponds to the season, and Aquarius to the zeitgeist.

Elemental Purports What does it mean that all four of these time-governing signs are earth or air? At the most obvious level, we should note that in the cultural imagination water and fire are characterized by motion, while earth and air are not. Air is about potentiation; it is the closest element to pure yang. It is the breath, which corresponds esoterically to the pneuma, the coherence of spirit which vivifies matter. It is atmosphere: that which surrounds every atom, and every germ of life, from the smallest bud to the egg of the cosmos. In a sense, pure potentiation means being eternally unborn. It is actually full activity—boundless perpetual motion—or “unlimited wind” in the Vedas—the inexhaustible first word of creation which has no duration, and obviously no equivalent upon the time-dependent material plane.

That plane is brought to us in part by earth, the closest element to pure yin. It is easy to understand how “pure passivity” is not comprehensible within time—easier than the concept of “pure activity” which we looked at previously. There is only ever the appearance of stillness in our perception; never an object which is actually fully static. The signature “movements” of matter may be entropy and decay.

We should also understand the conventional elemental associations with the astrological attitudes: cardinality is “like” fire; fixidity like earth; mutability like air. Therefore these time signs are:

The airy part of air (Gemini)

The airy part of earth (Virgo)

The fiery part of earth (Capricorn)

The earthy part of air (Aquarius)

So earth is implicated in three of these, and air is implicated in three of these. The only exception to air is the fiery part of earth; earth in its cardinal aspect. This means it is the apparent, self-projecting aspect of earth; earth with its essence on display. Capricorn governs, if you’ll remember, the bondage aspect of time, and the sign that is the most common answer to the naive question of time rulership.

The only exception to earth is the airy part of air: Gemini. This is notably the second-most common response to the question of time rulership. And, as we have seen, together Gemini and Capricorn account for the objective qualities of time. Here’s a weird one: if Gemini and Capricorn are the most obvious rulers of time, perhaps that is partially due to the subjective quality of our time, which is so concerned with, and aware of, objective qualities!

Or maybe it is the fact that the subjective qualities of time are defined by contradiction, and thus more difficult to understand in any age. After all, what is the “earthy part of air” and “the airy part of earth”? There does seem to be an especially elusive mystery about Aquarius: the concept of kairos, but also of the wish, and of heaven. What are we to make of the fact that Aquarius is “familiar to the alien”? Or the fact that it is associated both with the moment and with “timelessness”? We have seen air as pure potentiation, necessitating boundless movement; how could there be a “fixed” expression of such a principle?

In contradiction to the most “alien” sign, Virgo is typically tagged as the most mundane sign. The relative anonymity of Virgo is also contrasted with the radical idiosyncrasy of Aquarius. And its tradition-mindedness would appear also to chafe against Aquarian novelty. Yet let us remember what these signs share: they given definition to the subjective attributes of time. We mentioned that Aquarius holds both the uniqueness of the moment, and the unchanging eternal, but Virgo holds this mystery too. Virgo’s anonymity comes from a deep, intuitive understand that we are all the same. That is why the goddess and the virgin go by so many names. In fact, they necessitate that many names, because the multiplicity of the expression is part of the expression. Virgo is the scattering of the atoms; matter in full possible diffusion. The secondary ruler of Virgo, besides mercury, is not one planet but an abundance of asteroids. Virgo knows both “I am a link in a chain” and also “I am this link.” What is punctuality but specificity? What is a unit of matter but a detail? Virgo knows both, “This season has come before,” and also, “This summer is this summer.”

Summary The wind of Gemini is the wind that blows in the quality of time, existing in some unknowable potentiation beyond this world. Capricorn is the slow-burn of matter upon which quality plays, and is thereby bound. Virgo rotates the wheel, perpetuating the cycle through its incremental movement. The rotations are then recognized by their quality of motion. Aquarius imagines the wheel stopped, glimpsed in gestalt, and the wheel is recognized by the quality of its stillness. Cumulatively, these four archetypes collaborate to describe the terms of the dance through which psyche extends itself into its many other guises.
