Solar Return obs—

hey friends! i hope you enjoy the solar return observations down below, i sincerely appreciate any comment and feedback! 🤍

SR Moon in the SR 7h in virgo—afraid to trust, open up, and seeks to analyze self and others as a form of protection. The moon sitting here also signifies a connection that feels aligned with your growth and challenges you to face those fears. You can be more inclined to staying alone this year despite the relationship opportunities that arise, and looking at mercuries condition will tell you how your emotions will play out.

Venus 12h SR—The natives relationships feel more private, such as your financial resources, and your sensuality. There’s less of a spotlight, so this year it’s more about going inward and reflecting on how your past lenses have affected you. Whatever was unhealed (especially if Venus sits in a water sign) will come up, so think deep wounds, patterns overlooked in financial and relationship matters.

Mars debilitated in Taurus/detriment in cancer SR—Pay attention here, because your mars ruled houses in this chart will need more time, attention and energy. With mars weakened here substantially, these mars ruled houses can struggle. So let’s take mars in taurus 11h. Long term aspirations require in depth exploration, and patience. This year requires you to slow down and reassess your desires, are they feeding the same belief system enforced onto you (even if it was unhealthy)? Or do they truly cater to your personal growth? There can also be a revulsion around social media this year, a strong need for privacy. These natives can often be seen disappearing or just removing themselves from social media altogether. Friendships especially will be outgrown. If mars conjuncts NN retrograde, this is even more symbolic of a time of going inward, disconnecting and retreating from the social world.

Now the mars houses being observed for example: 4h and 5h are affected, in placidus, and so is the 10h. The natives year regarding family life and exploration of joy is heavily impacted due to authority figures, or a predominant father figure. There can be a sense of overwhelm, a sense of powerlessness under these circumstances, as the native is put into situations to take the lead and navigate partnerships, especially, family. This can be a big time in which the natives struggles with: should I choose myself or them? Especially if Chiron falls in the 10h, along with a weak Jupiter (heavily afflicted, or retrograde)

Jupiter is the protector so when afflicted it can indicate a struggle with finding emotional safety and peace internally, and externally. It can also signify the native feeling pessimistic, hopeless and stuck in their cycles.

SR Leo mercury 2h making an aspect to SR Saturn 8h in Aquarius—very interesting set up as the native is a charismatic, influential and seemingly powerful speaker and motivator. At some point the native is encouraged to communicate deeply and openly to someone or a group/ community of some kind, but feels strained and desolate. Think of it like this, Leo’s energy is warm and rambunctious, and very well the native has a charming presence, and the 8h is heavy, and cold with Saturn’s influence. When it’s time to face the horrors of their past and certain events play out for healing, it feels cold. A certain kind of cold sinking into their bones. Saturn 8h does thrive in growth through time, and consistent dedication and development. This can also mean communication skills will improve regarding boundaries.

Financially, the native can take an interest in the occult and seek to build their revenue through this. But with an opposition, this wont necessarily come easy, because there’s a certain heaviness and restriction felt either from learned conditioning about money, or the “taboo” topics they find themselves looking into. It may not even be motivated by financial means at first, but to liberate themselves from pain. They can also find themselves thinking deeply about the afterlife a lot more, and have a need to figure it out.

7h SR stellium in gemini—Interestingly enough this native was alone a lot through this year, even though we see the 7h as welcoming new connections. I think it’s because of the way the planets sit inside. SR Jupiter doesn’t do well in gemini and already struggles. SR moon tightly conj SR Jupiter, and mars has a weak conjunction to the moon as well. The native struggles to embody themselves in relationships, especially emotionally (sag 1h). It’s easier to flow mentally, and stay as the observer. SR Jupiter conj SR moon indicates powerful influence over emotions and such, when debilitated. There’s a struggle to externalize wisdom, as Jupiter feels full but restrained, so it prefers boxes and rigidity. Theres a tendency for self isolation here and analysis of oneself with gemini, leading to a lack of long term connection with others. The mind is overactive. The ruler of the 7h which is mercury, sits in Leo at 2 degrees, freshly entering the 8h. That energy makes more sense when look at it lol. There’s a need for sacredness from others, and respect for autonomy, and a sort of, “i need to protect myself,” which then translates into: isolation, which creates stagnation, and connections that are flimsy and not rooted. There’s potential, but no substance.

SR Saturn squaring the SR 7h—Well, this makes even more sense. Saturn also retrogrades which fails to provide structure and stability needed to handle the development of the 7h which we see as connections, social interactions, and people. There’s an inability to get around, and people act more as mirrors than supportive relationships. Saturn squares Jupiter and moon here equally, suggesting the native felt they performed better alone. Where does Saturn sit? The 3rd house. What the native wants and sees in their mind is not very well translated into their connections. There seems to be a split, confusion, or fantasy not meeting reality as Saturn retrogrades in pisces.

SR Venus in late gemini degrees (29) about to enter cancer—I love this blend of energy. Its not quite gemini or cancerian, but mixed, suggesting a need for flow emotionally. A need to step back from mental processing and get in touch with emotional processing, especially with that late degree. I love it because it helps the native realize analyzing may be more hurtful right now in their journey. Somatic releases become important too at this time. The native can take on a sensual approach to abundance and money as well, finding that when they surrender and let go, this abundance flows in.

Let me know if ya’ll want more 🤍 all likes comments and reblogs are appreciated.

Levels of sadism, narcissism, and lack of empathy seen in a chart

Hey y'all! Today we're discussing some more deeper themes in a chart posting to sadism, lack of empathy, and overall just signs to be cautious of in an individual. This doesn't mean it's 100% accurate, after all it's a study I find intriguing. Not everyone with these placements are inherently bad. Enjoy! 🤍

So, a big planet we may not think to look at is Neptune. We think Mars, Saturn and Pluto are only responsible for this, and while I agree to an extent, Neptune may have tricks hiding up its sleeve.

When Neptune is in hard aspects with Sun, moon, Venus, mars, Saturn and Pluto in an individual's chart this can point to a need over drowning oneself in pleasure. They find it exhilarating to fantasize about power, control, and dominance. Neptune knows no bounds, and it causes what we identify as taboo or unconventional to come up consciously. When it struggles to express itself, the energy itself can become weakened, callous, and detrimental.

For example, Neptune touching Mars 5h can point to someone with outstanding faithfulness to a religion, cult, political party, etc depending on other aspects and placements of course. The native can be blind irresponsibly to the opinions of others, driven by his need for validation and power. I've seen how rigid, fixed, and persuasive these placements can be in terms of their thinking, and also, delusional. Their way of thinking is sadistic in the way they derive pleasure from seeing others succumb to their ways of thinking, like treating others as objects to not just destroy, but change.

Neptune is just as powerful as Saturn, Pluto, or mars here. It knows no bounds, and it permeates our subconscious. It has a persuasive effect, on what we choose to believe and our expression. When paired with a volatile sign or placement, it's even more amplified in the way these individuals will seek to find pleasure in hurting others.

While I understand one placement of Neptune isn't enough to suggest strong levels of sadism, we have to look at other planets as well for a sense of grandeur, manipulation and a need for validation and control.

Jupiter conj/ squaring any personal planet can create a sense of someone being on a high horse. They can walk and act as if they truly know better, and struggle to accept multiple perspectives as the truth. They can be rigid to change, and find amusement in seeing those fall behind, wanting to be ahead themselves. They have a heightened need for control, stability and safety at the expense of others. They have a sense of superiority and intellect, and can be entitled.

For example Jupiter conj Chiron inflates ones insecurity, pains, and anguish. This can create a need for control, for perfectionism and establishing importance in a society or community. For example, let's take the position of Mars here. Mars in Leo 12h further amplifies sadistic tendencies, and when in a fire sign its expression is loud, fiery, and destructive. Even narcissistic for a sense of greed, and control. This can result in someone who is critical, argumentative, and can even result to petty games to win.

Jupiter conj/square sun, moon, Venus, mercury: Inflated sense of intelligence, asserts their opinion as the only opinion, and does not like authority. They can be seen as controlling in relationships, and have a lot of drama surrounding it.

Mars debilitated or afflicted can also cause this as well. Mars in Taurus, squaring Saturn can make for someone with incredible sadistic tendencies, or lack of regard for emotional states of others. In some cases, we can see this as positive, like becoming a philosopher and seeing suffering as a factor for ones growth. But on the other hand, you have someone motivated by patriarchal means to assert their self serving opinions. Someone who does not necessarily care for those below, as long as the issue never affects them.

Mars square moon is someone who is volatile, prone to anger issues, discontentment in the home. Someone who can make it all about themselves, when others are in pain. It reminds me of: misery likes company. This native can go on to force themselves into places they don't belong as well, separating communities of people, creating divide, not union. They have a strong contempt for anything serving others than themselves. Also, since moon is here describing femininity, if they are a man and have this placement they are likely to objectify, diminish women's rights, and believe that sex is a sin but they themselves participate in sex.

Venus conj. Saturn is all about the oppression of women in a males chart. He seeks control, and is vengeful and bitter with rejection from females. When in a water sign he's impatient, controlling of women's needs and desires, and is hypocritical. He lacks structure, emotional maturity, and can present himself as ''stunted.'' When Venus is in scorpio, he becomes obsessive and controlling the way the women see him, and think of him. When in cancer, he requires validation from women yet is callous to them. When in Pisces, he enforces strict standards and delusional ideas of perfectionism on women. These are the men who marry for status as well, lineage, and legacy, not always for the romance.

Capricorn can also suggest sadism, lack of empathy. They have a strict regime, and their need for control stems from pushing others away. They want to stay safe and comfortable with themselves to the point of abandoning relationships. They are the kind to think that no one is looking out for yourself but you, and it can be pessimistic.

Lastly, an afflicted 4h can suggest manipulation learned in the home for ways to get by. It can signify being put in an institution/family situation, when they were younger, and have had to learn tactics to separate themselves from others.

Hi Chaai! I hope you’re having a lovely day/today!!

I have a question. So I know I already exist in my dr, I wake up there every morning and sleep there every night, and I know I’m ALWAYS there no matter what. How do I actually just become aware of it to be able to shift to wake up there?

Thank you and have such a lovely day/night and a good cup of tea! I love your posts!🤍🌷

- B💋

HI B <3

i think the issue comes with overthinking? you’re overcompensating, over-confirming

when the clouds hide the sun from the world we don’t spin into a frenzy, we don’t affirm constantly that the sun will show up again, that we’ll feel that light and that heat and that warmth again

we just shrug it off, we just know

and what’s incredible is that you already know!! you know that you exist in your drs simultaneously with your existence in this reality !! that’s a skill that many shifters still struggle with so don’t sell yourself short

now the ironic thing about “awareness” is that it feels like an exaggeration when it comes to shifting — in our crs we exist and we are aware with no dependency on some external validation

it should be the same for our drs, shouldn’t it?

the reason that it may be difficult is probably due to the overcompensating i mentioned above — you don’t have to remind yourself of your existence, i’d recommend finding comfort in the freedom of letting go of those reminders

it can be the simplest thing too — personally, every time i feel derealised and start worrying abt how i feel rooted in this reality and it feels difficult to cut those strings and fall into drs, yeahh when i get in that mental state i pick a memory from my dr (could be smth you scripted), and i mentally relive that memory

it’s not only a grounding way to reinforce my existence in that reality (bcs i’ve been present there, i AM present there, i’ve planted my roots in many different worlds and i get to live them all) — this also helps me keep the affirmations simple

bcs in this instance, you’re not actually affirming your existence, you’re affirming your experiences which directly affirms existence (does that make sense??)

this doesn’t need to be a visualisation exercise (i personally do it but it’s not necessary at all) all you’re doing is remembering a moment, it doesn’t even need to be an important or significant memory — and honestly, i’d recommend choosing a rather mundane one — bcs that’s the truth of existence!!

existence is wondrous and torturous and exhilarating and debilitating — we’re always so focused on the soaring highs and the depressing lows that we tend to forget the mundane — existing is also boring, it’s also slow, it’s also stillness

embrace stillness, you experience boredom here and you will experience boredom everywhere

^^ this really helped me feel connected to my drs without feeling like i was repeatedly putting a band-aid over the same paper cut of worrying that i’m not “aware” enough

maybe this can help you too?? i truly truly hope it does !!

𝓕𝓾𝓵𝓵 𝓜𝓸𝓸𝓷 𝓲𝓷 𝓢𝔀𝓪𝓽𝓲 - 𝓇𝑒𝓂𝑒𝓂𝒷𝑒𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓂𝒶𝑔𝒾𝒸

🤍 Tonight/today greets us with a beautiful, vibrant Full Moon in Swati. I want to shed a little light about one of the mythologies associated with Swati and how it pertains to natives & transits under this Lunar Mansion.

The Vedic story of Hanuman, the cosmic son of Vayu (God of the wind & lord of Swati) lends us a wealth of knowledge about Swati's nature & message. It goes like this (I've tried my best to put it into my own wording): When Hanuman was a young boy, he thought the Sun was a big fruit, so he jumped into the sky to try to eat it. The Sun god felt intimidated by young Hanuman coming towards him, and asked he asked Indra (King of the Gods) to bring the child back down to Earth with his weapon/powers. Indra struck Hanuman in his jaw with his weapon: Vajra, the thunderbolt. Impressed by the child’s bravery & resistance, the deities blessed Hanuman with various powers. Hanuman used his powers to play pranks upon others, and for this, the rishis (sages, seers) cursed him to forget his gifts and powers. The boy then apologized for his mistake, so the rishis told him that his powers would come back to him if someone reminded him of them. Later on, while Hanuman was on a quest searching for Sita, Lord Rama’s wife, he was reminded of his powers by Jambavan, the bear headed being. Of the curse and his past. Upon hearing this, Hanuman's confidence is reignited. He ended up playing out multiple roles: a messenger to Sita, a diplomat to Vibhishana, and a soldier against Ravan.

🤍 This story gave me so much context as to why Swati natives are the way they are: A lot of the Swati natives I've met in my life are brilliantly talented in some field, or even multitalented, but are often very (overly) humble and self-doubting or easily discouraged by others'.

🤍 Swati is known to be perhaps the most energetically receptive of all the Nakshatras (some consider it to be the 'most feminine', which it is very much so but I think Swati's energy is very ethereal so it kinda transcends traditional feminine/masculine archetypes). This energetic receptivity gives endless potential for just about anything that can be dreamed of- there is a vast potential for just about any skill, talent or reality to be manifested in Swati. However, as the mythology implies, Swati's infinite powers and potential can be limited by the natives 'forgetting' their abilities or others attempting to bring them down.

🦋 It is said that Swati natives, like in the story, need to be surrounded by people who remind them of their abilities, beauty & talents in order to thrive. This makes sense in the context of Swati being very Yin and passive- endless potential, but needs that external Yang in order to flourish. It needs somebody to be objective with them and tell them exactly what they're good at.

🌱This potential is seen with Swati's symbolism being a plant shoot/sapling standing strong against the wind: there is a talent, a gift in Swati natives that needs to be nurtured to grow. Not that Swati's natives should depend on others- part of Swati's path may be related to learning to do what it takes to nurture those abilities yourself; but even still having positive affirmation and strong, Solar energies around is very important for Swati.

🍃 The Sun is debilitated in Swati, meaning the ego is very fragile. This can of course go many different ways- it can manifest as somebody who is very overly humble, self sacrificial, weak boundaries, lets emotions and empathy govern their life, 'too nice', lacking a healthy ego, struggles with criticism. Sometimes I see Swati manifested poorly as someone who feels down on themselves, so then deflects and rip down others, but typically there is another placement involved to cause this behaviour.

🌬 Not that Swati can't have a dark side, it certainly can and does as all Nakshatras do (Swati's other symbol is a sword & is butcher caste- it can be ruthless in achieving their goals, like Hanuman reaching up to the Sun)- but still remember that Swati resides in the middle of Sidereal Libra. Libra is balance, peace, the middle ground. Swati is the very middle of the middle lol. It is the ultimate 'go with the flow' 'neither here nor there' embodiment. Much like the wind.

🌌 This is partially why Tropical Scorpios are known to have the mesmerising stare & amazing ability to read people & situations: Swati acts as almost like this cosmic vacuum for knowledge, able to absorb it all but often too 'off with the fairies' and in their own world to verbalize it or always remember it. The natives can be misunderstood as ditzy and 'airheaded'.

🖤The 'dark side' of Swati would probably be staying quiet, not taking a stand 'for' or 'against' anything & letting life pass you by, or being bystanders in witnessing bad things due to the extreme energetic neutrality/passivity. Perhaps even snapping from the burden of always being doubted and passive. This neutrality can also be a gateway to fostering profound wisdom- access to the intuitive stream of knowledge available to us all is blocked by judgement & absolutes.

🎨 This leads me to Swati's association with the Goddess Saraswati; the Goddess of knowledge, wisdom, art, music & learning. The extreme potential to accumulate knowledge in Swati is a wonder, but it's almost as if sometimes the only way for Swati to verbalize & relay the knowledge to the world, is through art & music. A lot of spiritual truths are just too profound to put into plain words and even if you manage to, there's the risk of being misunderstood- through artistic creation, this wisdom can be more easily FELT.

🥀 I think that the theme of 'forgetting your powers' in Swati, reminds me of how when we come to this Earth and are born (Bharani, opposite to Swati represents birth), we for the most part forget our potential. We forget our divinity, we forget spiritual information such as our past lives.

🌸 It is said that on the way to success, Swati natives will often encounter a person or situation where people will try to bring them down/block their path at all costs, like Indra striking down the boy who reached for the Sun.

🌹One last thing- I recently watched the movie 'Pearl' which was a weird thing for me because I veer away from watching horrific movies, but the actress (Mia Goth) is Swati ascendant. Butcher caste. Symbolised by the sword/blade. Well, let's just say that the character lives up to this association lol- but I was thinking and I realised that the overall story and what lead the girl to this point is very Swati. Not that being a murderer is typical of Swati natives lol, but the plot:

🍒🌬 Pearl grows up on a farm, isolated from the world and held back from her freedom and enjoyment of her youth by her responsibilities taking care of her ill & immobilised father; and living with her abusive yet well meaning mother (not that abuse is ever okay but in the context of it being a very scary time for society amidst the Spanish flu and the father being crippled, I think the mum was very scared to death of more tragedy occuring). She dreams of being a star on the silver screens, a dancer (Swati being very ambitious & typically talented) but feels, once again, held back by the weight of the responsibility and burden of her dark home life. Eventually, she cracks and ends up killing anyone who she perceives to have doubted her or blocked her path (including her parents). Anyway, very Swati themes. Also very Rahu, Rahu nakshatras can have themes of being very sweet, polite and conforming- but eventually emotionally cracking, and all of the built up anger, rage and frustration from being mistreated or walked all over in their passive state comes out.

🌷🌸 Also, I just randomly thought of Barbie and the Three Musketeers lol- Barbie is often considered to be a Swati character (the femininity association, Rahuvian illusion, the way she can play all these characters and enter all of these different fantasy worlds). In Barbie and the Three Musketeers, we see Corinne (interestingly, again a girl who lives fair away from the city, somewhat isolated on a farm with her mother. Both movies play into the trope of the sweet, naive yet underestimated farm girl) who dreams of becoming a musketeer like her father was, in a time where girls could never be considered for this noble position. She confidently made her way on horseback all the way to Paris. When she told people of her dreams and ambitions of becoming a musketeer, everyone laughed in her face seeing as she was a girl. Even though she was extremely skilled and had been practicing for years. In the story, she discovers of this bad dude's plans to kill the prince to steal his inheritance to the throne, and her and her friends plan to take action.

Once the bad dude catches on that they know what he's up to and are trying to stop him, he of course tries to destroy them (there is a scene of a classic sword fight on the roof of the castle, Swati being associated with high places as well).

After demonstrating their immense bravery and skill, the girls all become musketeers and are apologised to for being underestimated (if I remember correctly).

It's really interesting because both of these movies include a scene early in the movie where the main character performs in a barn to the animals lol- Corinne practicing her musketeer skills, and Pearl practicing her dancing (and uh... killing a goose?).

🌫These movies also highlight Swati's themes of being underestimated, seen as very sweet and passive or naively sheltered, harmless girls but shocking the world with what they're capable of. 'Doing it in a dress' or doing it in lipstick & heels' vibes. Obviously, the two movies & characters go in entirely different directions though, lol.

🌸 In a way, society at large underestimates Barbie in general- deeming her airheaded or vapid & shallow just because of her associations with beauty & femininity, when most of the Barbie movies and stories actually depict Barbie as an immensely brave, courageous character who's positivity, kindness, strength and determination transcends evil every time.

Anyway, this ended up being much longer than intended lol, but I hope this was enjoyed by someone and sheds some light on the power of Swati Nakshatra this Full Moon <3🤍🌚

Hello dear 🥰🤗 I would like to participate in

💠Goddess essence game💠.

Thankyou in advance💖🎀

Hello, thank you so much for participating🤍

Your divine archetype:

❄🐇The embodyment of cycles of nature, from hungry feminine to renewal and fertility 🦢🌱

Your goddesses:

So firstly I want to say that all these goddesses and their archetypes(all of which somehow overlap with most others) are pretty important to you. The archetype I wrote just above was hard to come up with and at first you might not understand what I mean by that or why it was hard to come up with a shortened, specific description, but I hope you will, after reading the explanations. Multiple goddesses I am going to talk about can be easily coorelated to nakshatras that you don't even have but they also fit your overall chart. But beyond anything, trust your own judgement, and feel free to research.

Berchta/Perchta_ Alpine goddess of winter, silent nurturing, hag goddess but also a motherly supporter.

Jyeshta_ your moon (also your atmakaraka) nakshatra is associated with infertility and dryness, but also to protection, courage and eventual victory. In feminines/females, it's the nakshatra of grandmothers and their wisdom.

Berchta has been demonized as a scary entity, especially for children, after Christianity spread in Europe. Despite that image she's still a motherly, protective, feminine presence that used to be recognized as a protector of children specifically.

So Jyeshta does coorelate to winter goddesses but Hasta nakshatra is associated with the feminine in her unresponsive state, not unlike Jyeshta. It represents the cycles of nature, the harvest and the barren land, the interplay between fall, winter and spring, between death and renewal. Also, Berchta's name comes from the birch tree_ an evergreen tree that survives the winter. Evergreens can be coorelated to Jyeshta.

While the whole chart is important, your big three_ sun, moon and ascendant, and their influence are enhanced in your case, all in different ways. The most important placement_ moon is conjunct ketu in the same nakshatra_ Jyeshta. Ketu is also a very significant placement and uniquely so. Together with the moon it represents the comfort zone a person in a chart, which in your case is more specific and amplified. The interesting thing is that you might have a love-hate relationship with that part of yourself, because Moon is debilitated in Scorpio, particularly in Anuradha nakshatra, but Ketu is exalted in Jyeshta.

Your Hasta ascendant determines your chart ruler, which is Mercury(Virgo rising), and in your case it is also in Hasta, which is its exaltation nakshatra.

Your Sun_ the natural atmakaraka(soul significator/planet) is in Purva Phalguni, a Leo nakshatra, which is its natural sign, and at the highest degree, making it your actual atmakaraka.

So all of these placements are enhanced in unique ways.

Going back to Berchta, the themes of winter, cycles of death and rebirth that are tied with her connect to Jyeshta(Jyeshta is in Scorpio, sign of the 8th house of death and transformation) and Hasta.

The nurturing aspect of Berchta and the birch tree association can be coorelated to Purva Phalguni_ a Venusian nakshatra of ease, enjoyment and procreation. Birches and its coorelated rune in Germanic people has long been associated with quiet nurturing and growth, along with feminine pleasure.

You also have Mars in Purva Phalguni with the Sun and they're in your 12th house_ the house of isolation and all things hidden(fitting with the winter, quiet/silent themes), also of dispersion and bed pleasures. You have Venus in Swati, Libra, which enhances the feminine and nurturing aspect. You also have exalted Rahu in Rohini(Taurus) which, again, adds to the feminine and nurturimg, Venusian quality. The fact that it's your Rahu, so it's connected to your Ketu and Moon in Jyeshta makes it an interesting interplay within you, once again emphasizing the hungry and barren/feminine and fertile nature of the feminine and of the nature itself.

A goddess that is widely considered to be similar to her is Holda or Frau Holle. Some say she's her predecessor(that Berchta and her worship came from the existence and worship of Holda). You might like to look into her so I thought I'd mention her.

Sidenote: to clarify, I should state that the nakshatra I would associate with Berchta amd Holda would be Bharani. Berchta's name means "the bearer" and she's said to wear three keys on her belt, likely representing the cycle of birth/death/rebirth or the maiden/mother/crone archetypes of the female. I think that it could also represent the three fates found in many mythologies. You do have a nakshatra that has thematic similarities to Bharani_ Hasta, and another Venusian nakshatra_ Purva Phalguni. Jyeshta shares themes of death and rebirth with it so your chart overall does seem fitting.

Some interesting things about Berchta: she was said to wear her long, black hair in braids on the sides of her head, her gown was said to be long and white. The latter part might be reason why people refer to her as "the white lady" or "the lady in white". Another image of her is the goddess as a crone in a discheveled dress. She was said to be a shapeshifter_ related to Mercury(Jyeshta's lord). She has been described as "goose-footed", also as taking the form of a swan(geese were used as guard dogs in Medieval times, so, she has been recognized as the protector of the wildlife in a sense), called "guardian of beasts", she's associated with:

Birch, holly, flax, mayflower and wild berries.

Geese, swans, mountain goats, crickets, owls and foxes are her animal coorelations. Some include other Alpine animals such as the ibex, weasel, marmot, stork.

She's said to live in the mountains, or in a cottage surrounded by gardens that are a home to lost souls.

She is associated with "the wild hunt"_ a procession of witches, spirits and demons riding through the skies and collecting the souls of the dead.

Anyways, there are other goddesses I should talk about.

Athena_ Greek goddess of wisdom, (military/battle) strategy and architecture.

So this is the goddess that is directly associated with Jyeshta. They share the symbol of the owl. Both are associated with maturity, strategy(especially battle strategies or just tactical warfare in general). Jyeshta is the nakshatra that conquers and closes out the second part of nakshatras representing the civilization.

I should say that Hasta is also associated with feminine smarts in terms of worldly wisdom and even encouragement of females towards independence.

Speaking of Hasta, goddesses often associated with it are Egyptian Isis, and Greek Perspehone. While Hasta is not the whole of your chart it is an important part of it. Just mentioning them to help in case you wanna research.

Cailleach_ Celtic winter goddess from Scotland Ireland and Isle of Man. I won't explain in detail why I chose her anymore but I think you'll understand anyways. She's a veiled(Hasta) hag goddess of winter(Jyeshta). She was said to be Cailleach for only half a year, after that she transformed into Brigid_ a Celtic goddess I associate with Krittika(a nakshatra mostly in Taurus_ Scorpios's opposite sign). You also have that theme of going from winter to renewal and fertility interplay and not only with Scorpio Ketu and Taurus rahu, both of which are exalted. She's also a shapeshifter and protector of wild animals. You should research her for additional info.

One more goddess I'm going to mention is Morgan le Fay along with her another version_ The Morrigan, a triple goddess of war, death, fate, crows and ravens. I have a post specifically about her archetype and how she relates to Mercurial Jyeshta but also the snake yonis in Taurus. Again, research more by yourself if you want to know more.

...

This is it. Turned out longer but I can't help myself when I want to explain😭 I hope this is also nice to read and beautiful to you and not just a collection of facts and analysis.

Please leave a feedback after reading💕

[shukraastroasks]

Hello!

Hope my ask finds you well

What does it mean if one has Venus in Revati in both d1 and d9 and the 7th lord of d1 is in the second house of d9?

Thank you

Take care 🤍

It's an exalted Venus first of all, but this makes it very hard to find your spouse. Generally exalted and debilitated Venus makes someone very idealistic in term of their standarts for their suitable spouse, which leads to finding someone much later. To understand Venus in Revati, you have to know the mythology behind it. Revati was a princess and her father King Kukudmi was looking for a suitable husband for his daughter, but in his opinion no man was worthy of Revati's love. Since he wasn't able to find someone perfect enough for his prescious daughter, he took her and travelled to Brahmaloka (the world of Brahma) to ask him for advice. But Brahma was busy playing music and while waiting for him to finish his music time on earth passed by too fast. He asked Brahma for advice and Brahma explained him that while they have travelled to his world and spend only a few minutes there, thousands of years have passed on earth and Revati's generation is long gone. But on earth Vishnu was reborn as Krishna and had a brother, Balram. Balram was a man if honor and was the only person worthy of marrying Revati. So they went back on earth but since Revati was from a much older era and people of her time were tall she had to be adjusted to fit in with the current new generation, therefore Brahma made her shrink in size.

Now the key themes here are:

- not being able to find the right partner for a long time

- having to travel far away to find the right partner

- partner could be younger in age or shorter in height

- father will be very protective of you and have very high standarts regarding the person you will marry

- the person you will marry will be someone of high morals, someone who is honored and respected in their society

- either you or your spouse come from a coastal area or after marriage you move to a coastal area

- either you or your spouse comes from a regal royal lineage counting back 12 generations

- you or your spouse will naturally be artistic

Having the 7th lord placed in the 2nd house of Navamsa indicates that your spouse/marriage will bring all kinds of luxuries and wealth into your life. Depending on what planet it is things can differ. But the 2nd house deals with quality food, drinks and materialistic luxurius things like jewelry, fabrics, furnitures, cars, and also agriculture like owning a farm or gardening (it's also a strong theme of Revati Nakshatra).

I would suggest you to watch KRS videos on (Venus in) Revati Nakshatra to know more about it.

Since you asked me, I'm asking you back.

What got you into writing fic?

What's your favourite and least favourite thing about writing fanfic?

Thanks Nalu! 🤍

Well, honestly, I've also always loved writing stories. Thing is, nobody sent 10 year old me the memo that said you could do that for existing characters. So mini Em would mostly try to craft original fiction... with differing levels of result. As you said, I reread my works and it's a bit cringe, but oh my god, im so proud of her.

Then I heard about fanfiction years later, well into adulthood, from a friend reading and writing for Harry Potter. But neither HP, nor any other piece of media I'd enjoyed at that point made me go, "Oh, I would love to do that."

Then Lost came back into my life last year ❤️ It knocked the wind out of me how much I loved each and every one of these characters with my whole heart. Also never fell in love with a character the way I did Jack, I'm still amazed to this day... Suddenly, the idea of having these characters interact some more, of getting dynamics and pairings I couldn't get on the show, and of making them so happy by making them fuck... All of these prospects sounded amazing.

Spoiler for the show below

First draft I started, two months and a half ago, was a funeral scene for Jack on the Island, held by Hugo and Rose. I couldn't get through it cause it was too depressing lol so then I quickly let that go for my AU where Jack actually never died. That's been way easier to cope with lol.

So, yeah, long story short, Lost brought me to fanfic. Specifically @forever-erica, who showed me there was still a vibrant and active community writing for the show 😭 Thanks again for that and also your support and help in putting out my first chapters!

I love so many things about writing fic. I'm truly so happy to have started. But if I had to choose, what I've loved most is writing the story I'd love to see. Sometimes, when I get high, I can reread parts of my manuscript and forget for 5 seconds that I'm the one writing it. And I'm like "Oh shit i love this!" I'm so happy to be able to do what I've been doing in my head for yearsーfixing shabby love triangles with the power of polyamoryーfor a show I love so much and characters I feel like I know intimately.

What I've hated most, and it's not hate really, but it's what would discourage me most from keeping on, is the space these stories take up in my brain. It can be a bit overwhelming. And while I can yap about it on the internet; as of now, it's really something I keep to myself in my personal life. I've told most people I'm writing, but less than half know it's fanfic. And, like, I haven't told anyone what it's about. I'd be hard pressed to explain to my mom for instance that I'm making my blorbos discover the power of battling your angst through mind-shattering sex lmao. So yeah, it's more that it feels debilitating how much I love these guys, want to write about them all the time, and want to talk about 'em when I'm not writing about 'emーbut I can't really talk about it IRL.

So thanks mutuals for yapping together online about these magnificent meow meows 😻

[crookedkryptonitebeliever]

this might be a touchy subject and you don’t have to answer but, as one myself, how would Yves act with a chronically ill/physically disabled person? or even someone who constantly deals with chronic pain that is debilitating for everyday life? btw i love your writing, no matter how cursed. 🤍

Yves feels his heart wrench whenever he sees you break down in tears, frustrated at yourself for not doing as well as other able-bodied people, frustrated that you have to surrender your autonomy at times to Yves. He truly does, he hates to see you in such a state. While he doesn't mind, even prefers you to be dependent on him due to his strong caregiver personality, Yves doesn't want it to be at the cost of your happiness.

He will read up on all the papers published about your illness or disability. Past and modern ones, there must be a pattern or some sort that he could identify. Yves will try his best to find a cure or at least something that will improve your symptoms greatly.

But the first thing he will get done is to talk to you. Discuss what you ultimately want; is it freedom you seek? His undying support? The unyielding truth that Yves will stay by your side no matter how bad it gets? Do you want to keep fighting for yourself, or do you want Yves to do it for you?

You will have the latest, cutting-edge prosthetics if you're struggling with an amputated limb or body part. All the helpful, relevant, accessible gadgets will be installed in the house in hopes of making your life much easier and giving back the level of independence you need to maintain your mental health. Yves will remember all your appointments for you, that fills his planners up. Your dosages, your medication, and the procedures of your treatments.

He will remind you, pre-pack your pills, and help you with your IV drip. Yves is very careful with his tone and words, he knows the stress, humiliation, and pain that come with living as a chronically ill person can easily set you off. Everything can be overwhelming, he does not want to see tears of anger or hopelessness in your eyes. It's not your fault, you never wanted this and it just happened to affect you.

Yves spends nights perusing through all experimental treatments, weighing between the risks and benefits. He will present his carefully curated selection to you, but he makes sure to pace it out appropriately. Because if he were to show you thousands of pages of medical reports, chances are you're going to be upset, overstimulated, and angry at him. You have very limited energy and focus, he needs to get his words as concise and accurate as possible.

Watching him kneel with you on the bathroom floor, as you experience your seventh vomiting tonight, truly shocked you. Understandably, you're in such a terrible state, that you've barely gotten any sleep for the past month. But Yves sleeps even less, he is always awake, always looking after you. Ready for any emergencies and constantly preparing items or foods that will ease you. Yet, he looks glowing, as if he wasn't caretaking a bleeding ball of misery. His hair is always silky and brushed, no bags under his eyes, and his movement is still crisp. And he always knows what to do, much better than you or your practitioners.

He knows your body well enough to administer his own dose of painkillers, going against doctors' orders and obtaining drugs that fully alleviate your pain. Strategically timing your doses so it won't be too hard on your liver. Taking your blood samples himself and ran them through his own trusted pathology lab, potentially proving that your doctor might have misdiagnosed you. Maybe you wouldn't need to suffer, Yves could find a cure.

You were very apprehensive at first when Yves suggested that he does his own testing. He has no credentials, why should you trust him? The doctors have much more experience than him and they went to school for this. You're not trusting a random to cut you open either, he's a mathematician, not a medical doctor or a surgeon-

You were dumbfounded when he produced his own certifications and licenses. Proving that he worked in hospitals, researched institutes, and even published his own medical papers that universities used as teaching material for decades. Everything he presented is legitimate, he even demonstrated the validity of them by your request. You could call his universities and they will all confirm his contributions, You can confirm with the government and the relevant boards, you can search for him anywhere, and early pictures of him will resurface.

He looked so different. Yves looked unremarkable in them with short hair. He looks unhappier and more exhausted, though. Makes you wonder how old he really is.

But that was all. You cannot find further information on Yves other than the ones he allows you to know about.

So you reluctantly let him stick a needle in you, only to realize that he's done. You blinked multiple times and darted your eyes from your arm and his gloved hands holding vials of blood. Unlike the usual nurses or doctors, you can't feel the needle going in or out. Yes, you saw it, but it was unbelievably fast.

Your jaw dropped as he didn't even need to palpate your arm. Yves just calmly inserted the syringe, gathered what he needed, and finished. You didn't experience any bruising later, which was astonishing with the speed he was working with.

He labeled them and packed them in a plastic bag with a biohazard symbol on it and into a padded envelope. Yves disposed of his gloves and washed his hands.

You expected him to enlighten you. Tell you stories while he was in the field, brag about his accomplishments, complain about difficult patients, anything! You needed to know more! Just who the hell is he?

But all he did was smile, give you a kiss on the forehead, and help you back to your room.

BITTERSWEET? (·•᷄‎ࡇ•᷅ )

(Latest Alex audio thoughts)

Wow-just wow. I honestly went into that audio thinking the worst, and somehow I came out of it a little confused, shocked, but also kind of happy? I was definitely on team #breakup but after listening I’ve realized how complex this relationship really is. We’ve only peeked into Alex and Gremlins relationship throughout his audios and I forget they’ve been together for over four years. I think it’s pretty clear both of them wanted to make it work because of how much they loved each other and their long history. (the whiplash I felt when he said “I’ll say that person is mine” 😀) moving on-

Both of them still have a lot of issues to work through-but I’m SO GLAD they went to therapy and it seems like they are willing to admit to their problems/mistakes and change which is a good sign, so I guess go team?

HOWEVER, the skeptical part of me thinks about how much they’ve really grown and if either of them are ready to be together again. I mean it’s only been about 3-4 months since they rekindled their relationship. I just don’t know if I can confidently believe in their individual growth since then. They hurt each other to a degree I think needed more time to heal. Personally, I wanted a breakup because of Gremlins debilitating issues with trust and Alex’s inability to communicate. I want to be rooting for them in the future-but I still have a seed of doubt.

It’s bittersweet, I think either outcome would’ve caused differing results and reactions. I guess at the end of the day I’m content (a little in denial) they decided to stay together even with all the angst and I wish them the best. 🤍

(Love to hear anyone else’s opinions on this cause I’m so torn🧎🏻‍♀️)

[celestialtarot11]

Hey! 💝I saw you’re offering birth chart readings!! Could you take a look at mine chart? thank you in advance

Hi there welcome! <3

Sun opposite mars debilitated— your belief in yourself is weakened by authority figures. You can struggle with your career especially with rules imposed on you. You don’t like it when people boss you around, and you can find it difficult to speak up about what you want. Your home life struggled possibly financially, and the idea of love & “luxury” did not come easy for you. You felt like you had to fight for what you deserve.

Your education is the early years could have suffered a lot, as it is mars ruled. People could have been impatient with you, more so teachers. They expected you to learn faster than the rest but it took you a while. You’ll find that people often rush you, expect you to be a perfectionist. Moon 12h can bring in spiritual gifts and insights into your past, there seems to be help here and support with your trines and sextiles. You work very well when you take your time, work according to your own schedule and according to your bodily needs.

Going against the grain is difficult for you especially if it concerns others. If it only benefits others it hurts you. Sun square suggests suggests opposing faiths, or beliefs system in the home possibly. You resist traditional values and norms, especially if they were passed down by your father. He could have believed in hiding issues in the home for self image purposes only.

Neptune 2h wants to spend casually, but saturn 8h opposing it, you have a difficult time with wanting to overindulge but discipline yourself with your money. Venus 1h indicates lots of charm, occult interests and private life. You don’t like to air your business out considering your ruler lands in the 8h. Your transformations are sacred to you and very personal, and help you rebuild your voice and discipline.

Thanks so much for being here! 🤍

[honeyhoshi]

after many months of debilitating mental illness, i am returning to complete raise the stakes 🤍

i visited namyangju today and my heart is so full of adoration for soonyoung.

see you guys soon!

[laura1633]

Hey Laura 🤍 Have you had ideas for future fics recently ? Do you have some “crazy shit” you wanna write ? (Obviously, to read with Charles’ voice)

Haha, I absolutely read that in Charles' voice 😃

I do have some vague plans fic-wise, although my brain is like a pinball machine so plans change quite frequently 😂

Once I have finished 'Preloved' I am probably going to post some one shots but I am not 100% sure which ones I am going to write yet but it definitely involves one of Charles riding Max because I promised that one and I haven't forgotten.

Then, I have 5 multi chapter fics that are in various stages and once Preloved is finished I will divert my attention to one of them.

Sugar Daddy Charles x Sugar baby Max.

Alpha Mafia boss Max x Omega Ballerina Charles

Pregnant Omega Max (lots of fluff)

The two other ideas that are also floating around are ones that I haven't discussed on here yet but I have been playing around with (I am not sure if they could be called 'crazy shit' though 😂)

Catfish storyline - Student Charles starts talking to a guy online who eventually reveals themself to be F1 driver Max Verstappen. Charles is sceptical because 'Max' never sends pictures and never wants to video chat or meet up. There are a lot of warning signs that he is being scammed/catfished but he so wants it to be real. It's an angst with a happy ending and I am not 100% sure whether I am going to write it this way or flip the roles.

Underground Fighter Max - I am sure this is an au that has been written before but I don't think you can have too many stories in the same au! Max is a natural talent and could have done great things in the boxing world but poor management from his father means he is fighting in seedy underground clubs and taking dives for money. His father convinces him to travel across country to fight in a notoriously brutal and unforgiving club for one last match up. Charles is a bartender in a local bar who has seen far too many fighters suffer debilitating injuries in the no holds barred tournament and doesn't want the pretty blue eyed boxer who he has taken a shine to going down suffering the same fate.

[calicofurball3]

Hello Calico! I wanted to participate in the game, so here it goes this chart. I already know stuff from tropical astrology, but not much from vedic one though. What are your takes on this?

Hey there, hope ur doing well! I’ll be reading into some of the things that stood out to me in particular according to ur chart:

(Do note that asteroids, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune aren’t considered in sidereal astrology, so I wouldn’t be considering those aspects!)

With ascendant and Ketu being in Scorpio, in the nakshatra of Jyeshta, it’s possible that you may have sharp, darker features, or may come off as intimidating/mysterious to other. But with the ascendant lord (mars) being in cancer it’s giving ‘look like could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll’.

Also, do you perhaps get compliments on ur hair often? I also wouldn’t be surprised if you were told that you have a baby face😅 This might be a weird observation but you might have a scar on ur face as well (something common with Mars sign moons and ascendants).

With ketu in 1st, you may also tend to be selfless, thinking of ‘we’ instead of ‘me’. 

With moon in the 6th house in Aries, your pretty enthusiastic… but could also be kinda impulsive with ur decisions at times. But for some reason, for this particular placement, this impulsivity and energy could also be translated into motivation for ur daily routines.

For example, you could be the kinda person who’d have the sudden urge to hit the gym, or do a sport to stay active, or just start a new regime in general. Your motivation could help you get through ur daily routines well. But with mars in cancer, I’ve noticed that you may tend to get riled up easily, and if you were, it seem to be slightly difficult to express ur anger without tearing up😅 This placement is also fiercely protective of their loved ones and show great emotional resilience.

With Sun in the 8th along with mercury, you could be very much interested in deep occult or esoteric subjects, spirituality, concept of rebirth and transformation. It’s possible that you may love writing or having convos related to it as well (cuz of moon in Ashwini)

One thing I’ve noticed with Sun in Ardra along with mercury is that you have potential to be a counselor😭 It may not mean that ur one, but you definitely seem to be someone whom ppl can vent to abt their issues, and someone who’d offer support and assurance, given the nature of the nakshatra. You seem pretty good with ur words in that aspect as well.

Saturn and Rahu (true node) in the 7th house, it’s not exactly considered a favorable placement in Vedic astrology (but don’t worry, it could mean better if the planets are well placed in D9 chart, besides, Saturn is in a friendly sign here so it could grant stability in marriage, although there may be obstacles)

This placement could indicate a  karmic connection, and with the 7th lord being in 9th as well, it’s very much likely that your future spouse may belong to a different  religion/ cultural belief. If not this, they could be living or working in a different place far away from urs or you could meet at a place far away from ur hometown.  A foreign element is guaranteed to be involved in relation to ur FS. 

Do be cautious while getting into any type of business contracts or any contracts in general with this placement. It’s better to do such entrepreneurial ventures alone instead of partnership if you’ve ever thought of it. Ppl may not always have the best intentions here, so do look out for urself love🤍

Since ascendant lord, is placed in the 9th, conjunct Jupiter, it gives a lot of strength and zeal to pursue ur passion or interests. Mars conjunct Jupiter is pretty good, that too in the 9th house. Jupiter is exhaulted but mars is debilitated here in cancer. The debilitation of mars isn’t completely a bad thing here, considering the fact that it rules the 6th house. In Vedic astrology, debilitation of lords of 6th, 8th, 12th house tend to give a slightly more positive result than when it’s well placed or neutral, so that’s a good thing. 

With almost 3 planets (Venus, Jupiter, mars) in the 9th house, you could show a lot of enthusiasm and love towards travel, exploring different cultures, and learning abt them. It’s also possible that sense of freedom is a top priority to u. 

Also, are you currently residing in a place that isn’t ur home town or far away from it? That could be possible as well. You may also have a particular subject or field of study (probably linking to travel, culture, literature or linguistics) that ur passionate abt or even pursuing. 

With the 10th and 11th lord in 8th (Sun and mercury), career could undergo lots of up and downs, that is, lots of transformations before reaching a stable position. It’s very much possible that you may have extra side incomes, or may have more than one job or even switch careers atleast once in ur life.

These a few things that I could analyze from ur chart, I hope you found it useful💗🌸

Feel free to leave a feedback and let me know how accurate the reading was!

tw for anxiety below 🤍

I have been having very very very terrible anxiety lately like debilitating can’t seem to do anything without bursting into tears or feeling nauseous and I was wondering if anyone had any good tips and tricks with how to get passed or deal with something like this because I have tried so many times to work through it and nothing feels like it’s working. I’ve had anxiety for years and years and for the last three years it’s not been so bad but this year it really has been the worst.

I think it’s so hard too when you have a day job to go to especially in a customer facing role where it can also be super unpredictable. I feel like everyday I wake up with this terrible weight in the pit of my stomach from not knowing what the day will hold and I can’t seem to do anything to help myself.

So if anyone else knows this feeling or has a good way of coping with it please let me know it would be much appreciated 💕 I don’t normally talk about this stuff but if you feel this way too just know you’re not alone in feeling that way and the world can be beautiful but also very big and scary and it’s okay to feel a bit wobbly sometimes.

Anyway yeah, appreciate you all very very much 🫂
