Pt2 Percy & Leo Reincarnate into Epic
Concept recap: Percy and Leo reincarnate into Epic as Nausinous and Nausithous, the sons of Calypso and Odysseus
Timeline:
Percy is born ~2 years into the 7 years, Leo born 6 months later (bc calypso got tired of the pregnancy process).
Background: Percy knows the Calypso myths cuz he told Sally about the moon lace eventually, and Sally actually got super concerned and asked him a ton of questions. Led to discussion that odyssey is, like, third hand info kinda and written by a man, so in PJO world odyssey is just biased/misinterpreted/wrong. But Percy actually knows it, is the point here (also, this plus Hercules, meant he didn’t put much stock into learning the myths from sources not at camp.)
Anyway, by the time Leo is born, Percy kinda knows the basics- for some reason, they’re on Ogygia when Odysseus is, and that they’re terrifyingly in a more Homer version than the Calypso they knew. Odysseus is a mess ofc, but he does try for Percy. Especially cuz he noticed that Calypso loses interest in Percy pretty quick when Odysseus isn’t paying attention. And there’s no one else on the island. Means Odysseus kinda starts manically caring for Percy, cuz “can’t let the baby die!!” and also it pushed Percy less from “Calypso’s baby” to “fellow Calypso victim”.
Calypso sees it “worked” and wants to have another baby- Leo. Leo ~3 months, Calypso pouty abt Ody spending so much time w/ babies. Like, ”oh yes! Odys not crying on the beach as much! But he’s not choosing to spend that time w/ me.” So begins Ody, Percy, and Leo’s ~5 years of living with a manipulative, toxic abuser and trying to take care of each other! with extra spicy trying to help severely unwell Ody on Percy and Leo’s part
Percy & Leo figure each other out before Leo is 1 bc Percy never bothers to censor his future talk around the baby. Also rejects the name Calypso gave him and uses Percy
They look entirely like Calypso and Ody’s children except for their eyes, which are same as old bodies (color and shape). Also, their builds kinda follow the guides of their old life, but w/in the limits of their current genetics (Ex: Leo is more on the short and lean side, but still taller than old body)
Honestly, everything from here can kinda go lots of places. Theoretically, it’s a better stay at Calypso’s cuz he has the kids and also the kids tag team to get him more time away from Calypso, but also there’s the “better to have and lose or never have” question. Like, is having times a peace worth knowing you’re still trapped? Also, Ody gets a ton feels about baby raising moments - he gets to experience raising his son(s)! He knows he missed every single one of these experiences with Telemachus, and he is missing more for every experience with Percy and Leo. So like, bad days and his breakdown on the cliff ala Love in Paradise still happen (Percy was in the water ready to catch him in that scene). The big hope is that Percy and Leo can help in some way w/ the vengeance saga? Unclear how. But they do leave the island w/ Ody.

BRF Reading - 16th of December, 2022
This is speculation only
Cards drawn on the 16th of December, 2022
Question: What consequences will Harry face in the next 6 months as a result of this reality show and his book?
Note: I am trying out reversals in this spread so we will see how that goes.
Tumblr media
Interpretation: Harry will face a loss of popularity and bad press. His 'star' status will decline.
Card One: The Sun reversed. The Sun upright is one of the best cards in the tarot deck. Reversed, it is not a good card to get. When it is upright it means optimism, happiness, all going well with you. When it is in the reverse it shows the opposite meaning. Nothing goes well for you. Your circumstances darken and/or you are filled with false optimism. Your popularity declines and the bright spots in your life are clouded. You may have unrealistic expectations or suffer from being conceited.
The energy I feel from this card is a decline in popularity and a lack of opportunities. Harry is going to see what little popularity he has go down further. People will draw away from him and not want to be associated with him. Opportunities will be withdrawn or they won't be offered to him. In reaction to this, Harry may become over-confident, swaggering and blustering to try and keep up a façade of success, he may have the false hope that things will get better (being overly optimistic), and he may continue to promote himself in the hope of getting a good deal somewhere.
This is an awful card to come out reversed. The sun is the ruler of Leo, so this is the shadow side of Leo - arrogant, boasting, all talk and no substance, continually hogging the limelight, expecting to be treated like royalty, unable to admit they are wrong, believing they are far more special than anyone else, and so on. We have seen a lot of that in Harry already and this card says that this behaviour is going to drive more people away from him and diminish any opportunities that may arise for him.
Card Two: The Magician in reverse. The Magician is the card of manifestation. It is the card of Mercury, the planet of communication and thought. In the reverse, this says that Harry is going to have great difficulty in manifesting anything. No matter how he tries, very little of what he plans will work out. He won't have the resources, the money, the contacts to do anything, and if he does have those, either it won't come together or it will turn into a negative experience for him.
The Magician card can indicate the media/press/PR. The energy I am getting from this card in the reverse is of bad press. The media is not going to go back to writing glowing reports about whatever Harry does. We've had the build them up stage, and now we are in the tear them down stage. There is likely to be a lot of bad press in Harry's future, so he had better get used to it.
With respect to communication, the Magician in reverse says that whatever Harry is trying to communicate will not succeed. The message will not get through, or it will be ignored. Very few people are going to be listening to him and agreeing with him. People will see Harry's manipulation via lies and half truths for what it is and they will not be impressed with him.
The reversed meaning of this card include trickery, poor planning, cunning and deception. I expect to see more of these behaviours from Harry. Very few people are going to believe him and his attempts to manifest a successful life based on his lies and deceptions is not going to work. His plans will fail.
Card Three: The Three of Pentacles upright. This is a card of teamwork, of three or more people working together to achieve a goal. Some project is going to achieve success in the initial stages. This could be Harry's book, or it could be another project.
I drew a clarifier for this, and it was the Star in reverse, so no longer 'being a star' and wishes not coming true. Either Harry's book will work to diminish his star, or the star of someone else, or both, or the second option is that three or more people are going to work together to reduce Harry's star somehow as a result of the reality show and the book. All of these could happen as well - I have no clear indication of how this will happen, but a star will be dimmed and as my question was about Harry, I am taking this as a dimming of his 'star' in some way.
Pentacles are status and wealth, and they are solid, enduring - like all earth signs, they deal with reality and build to last (Pentacle represent earth in the tarot). Whatever happens, it is going to be permanent and have long lasting effects.
Harry may be part of these three people and end up working against himself, or it could be another team that crafts an outcome that affects him. I am taking the result as a diminishing of Harry's status because of the Pentacles suit, but it could also be that his dreams and wishes have no chance of coming true, as the Star is the card of dreams and wishes coming true, and in reverse the opposite happens.
Card Four: Death in reverse. Death is the card of transformation, of something that changes in your life and you can not go back to how things were before. When the card is reversed, you are resisting this change. You are stagnating, afraid of moving forward to the next phase in your life, and you may be repeating negative patterns.
The energy from this meaning of this card is very similar to the Eight of Cups reversed below. Harry is stagnating and becoming mired in negative patterns of behaviour. He is refusing to transform and change, and instead he is clinging to the past. The energy of this card is of someone who is scared to change, who does not want to face the pain of transformation even though the life after the transformation will be far better than what they have now. Instead they are clinging to what they have now and telling themselves that it is not that bad, really, instead of facing the pain and moving through it into a new phase of their life. Harry is too scared to embrace the transformation that is ahead of him, preferring to cling to his past which is hindering him and his life.
Death is the card of Scorpio, and King Charles is a sun sign Scorpio. In reverse, this card shows some sort of decline or unhappiness for King Charles. He may be very unhappy about how Harry is behaving (which is quite likely), or he may be experiencing bad health, or both. I feel that this card as King Charles is linked to the Three of Pentacles in front of it in some way - either Charles is unhappy about Harry and doing something about it, or whatever the people of the Three of Pentacles succeed with is going to upset him, or both, or something else - I can't pin the link down, but there is an energy tie between the two cards.
Underlying Energy: The Eight of Cups reversed. This is a card of grief, of sorrow, of walking away from something. When it is in reverse you can't walk away, you are stuck in the situation. Keywords for the reversed card include stagnation, monotony, accepting less, avoidance, indecision, aimless drifting, and trying one more time in a bad situation.
The energy I get from this card is of not being able to let go of things. The card shows that Psyche has stripped herself of all earthly status and ties so she can descend into the underworld. As the card is reversed, Harry can't do this. He is unable to strip off what is holding him back from the next stage in his life. Instead, he is stuck doing the same thing over and over again, trying to go forward but unable to do so as they very things he clings to are those holding him back.
The underworld is the place of death. For me, this shows that Harry is unable to let go of his mother's death. He is unable to stand back from it and process it and so he is unable to grieve and heal and move on with his life.
Cups are the suite of emotions, so this stagnation and inability to let go could refer to any emotion that Harry is feeling as well as his grief over his mother's death. Harry is emotionally stuck and he is not willing to let go of the things (emotions, ties, wealth, status, any other earthly things) that he needs to let go of to be unstuck.
Major Arcana: Four out of the six cards in this reading are major arcana. This is a lot of strong energy with respect to happiness/popularity, manifestation/communication, star power/dreams coming true, and transformation/change that is being played out on the world stage.
Reversals: Five out of the six cards in this spread are reversed. Reversals are generally held to be worse than upright cards (there are a few exceptions), so that does not look good for Harry.
Conclusion: Over the next six months Harry will face a loss of popularity and bad press as a result of his reality show and book. Very few people are going to believe what he communicates and opportunities will not be offered to him or will fail to materialise. As a result of this, we may see more lies and deceit from Harry, and he may become more arrogant or demanding as he expresses the shadow side of Leo energy.
Harry is supposed to be going through a major transformation but he is avoiding this out of fear. Instead he clings to the past. He is unwilling to let go things, especially emotional ties, that he needs to release in order to be able to move on into the next phase of his life. These emotional ties include his feelings over his mother's death.
A team of people may do something that diminishes Harry's star power and/or makes his dreams and wishes unable to come true. Harry may be part of that team and end up working against himself, for example if his book has this effect, or it may be a team of other people that does something that has this effect on him. An unhappy King Charles is tied to this team in some way, but I am not sure how. There is a possibility that King Charles's health will be affected in some way by this teamwork (for example, if the book affects his health).

IMPORTANT UPDATE (PLEASE READ)
Hello readers, I know you were hoping this update would be a third chapter, and are wondering why I last updated in a LOOONG time, so I'm here to explain that.
PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY, I KNOW IT'S LONG BUT IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
TW: Discussion of real, life-threatening injuries and death
Over two months ago, I woke up to my dad frantically trying to call me and my mom with a text saying "CODE RED! EVERYONE PICK UP YOUR PHONES NOW! AND ANSWER MY PHONE CALL!"
My mom's phone was dead and my younger brother's phone wasn't working, so we called my dad back on my phone, put him on speaker, and braced ourselves for terrible news.
We were informed that my older brother, whom I will call James (Not his real name), had a 6-minute seizure and is currently in an ambulance being sent to the hospital.
6 minutes is classified as a severe seizure.
It happened out of nowhere, he was just playing soccer with his buddies when suddenly he got the worst headache ever to the point of crying. He walked over to my dad and then suddenly started seizing.
We found out he had a knot of veins in the center of his brain that bursted.
He had a brain bleed, they had a tube in the top of his head to drain some of the blood, and they had to take out part of his skull to allow the swelling to not cause any more brain damage from pressure.
I don't want to get into too much detail about the two months he was in the hospital, but it was the scariest thing I've gone through.
I was constantly worried he was going to die.
And even if he would be alive in the end, there is a high chance he wouldn't be the same.
The reason this connects to why I was unable to work on this fanfic is because my fanfic is about that topic, it's about a character (Leo) having a brain injury, and not being the same person anymore.
Even simply thinking about this project put me in a depressive state.
The good news is that James is alive, He is ok. And you guys do not need to worry about him at all.
We had a lot of miracles happen and I am more than happy to say that he is still the brother I knew before this happened. He has recovered remarkably fast and well since he is young and healthy.
He is EXTREMELY lucky to ONLY have a few vision problems and just be a little weaker on his left side, he is taking PT (Physical therapy) and luckily the doctors said he won't get any worse, whether or not he will fully heal, we don't know.
But I don't care I don't care that he has vision problems and is weaker on his left side,
HE IS FUCKING ALIVE!!!
and that's all I care about.
If this happened to him literally ANY other time, he would have been dead. if he was in his room alone, he would have been dead, if it was nighttime, he would have been dead. But luckily he was in an area where a lot of people were watching him, and there were people there to help carry him to a safe place to wait for an ambulance.
I've had a LOT of time to hang out with him and mentally recover from what happened.
And I've decided... I still want to continue this Fanfiction.
It doesn't pain me to work on this at all anymore because I know my brother is ok. If anything, this work can be used as a way to vent my emotions from the incident. I can't change the fact this happened, but I can try to look on the bright side of it. I mean- Having this experience will probably make my writing better, at least for Leo's brother's side of the story. I understand how they feel on such a deep level and want to keep writing this because it's a healthy way to vent emotions.
I do want to take a moment and thank you for all of your guys' support. I read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT and it makes me SO happy to read about what you think of my work. I cannot express how much it boosts my motivation and mood when I read a new comment. I have a LOT planned for this series and I want to continue it and make it better than before!
Also, IDK if anyone noticed, but NAME CHANGE! I'm going by "UnknownStripes" now on AO3, (which is actually a reference to future events in this series *wink *wink...)
ALSO! EXCITING NEWS! I have been re-writing the previous two chapters! I noticed a LOT of mistakes and parts that frustrated me, so I will be re-writing them. The same stuff will play out, it's just going to be written better with some dialogue changes, plot-hole fixes, AND CHANGE THE FUCKING WEAPONS THE EPF USE TO TRY TO CAPTURE THE TURTLES LIKE WTF WAS I THINKING?!!!!???? WHY THE HELL ARE THEY USING ACTUAL FUCKING BULLETS TO TRY TO CAPTURE DONNIE AND LEO WHEN THEY WANT THEM ALIVE?!! HOW THE FUCK DO DONNIE AND LEO JUST GET FUCKING SHOT AND THEN BRUSH IT OFF LIKE ITS NOTHING LIKE- BRO- AHHHHHVBSDBVOSNONCOIWBVONKSZNV!!!!! So yeah, I'll be fixing that. But having them use tranquilizer darts would affect how I wanted the scene to play out so I've been stuck on that, but I FINALLY FOUND A PLOT-HOLE FILLER!! WHOOOOOO!!! So you'll just have to wait and see!!! I'm actually almost done re-writing the first two chapters! I worked on it a LOT BEFORE the incident with James went down. I just have a few more things to edit and then they will be ready to post! As for the third chapter... I am about 1/3 done. Idk when I'll be able to post it but I will be working on it a lot in my free time! You guys deserve it for having to wait so long, but I also want it to be good, so I ain't gonna rush it.
ALSO! I am an artist, You may have noticed the cover art I made and added to the first chapter. I'm happy to announce that I will be adding MORE ARTWORK to the chapters to help with visualization, and to give my lovely readers something pleasant to look at. I will also be posting the artwork much earlier on the Official ACF Tumblr, along with extra sketches that aren't going to be used in the actual chapters. I also want to give more frequent updates there too, plus I am open to asking questions and doing polls! So if you want to see any of that, GO FOLLOW THE TUMBLR PAGE! (AKA THIS TUMPLE PAGE IF YOU ARE READING THE TUMBLR VERSION OF THIS UPDATE)
I'll make an announcement like this when I post the re-written first two chapters,
Love you all SM! <3

Not the Best Place for a Love Confession
Summary: During an interview with a reporter who has a bad habit of saying the most offensive thing possible at the moment, Markus talks about his new budding relationship with Simon and teaches the public that just because he’s the respected leader of the revolution, his partner doesn’t have to be some fainting maiden waiting for him to come home. Simon’s reaction surprises him. Second day of Simarkus Week 2022, prompt Confession.

A/N: Look, it’s my event, my rules. And when I say I’m gonna post fics for Simarkus Week a month late, then so be it (anyone can do that, btw, so if you still wanna join, go crazy). Anyway, hope you enjoy reading!
You can also read it on ao3!
Only a few things were sure to make Markus’ blood boil in rage. Injustice was one of them. Ignorance the other. But pretentious interviews with reporters who couldn’t give a damn about their cause and were only looking for a sensation happened to be high on the list, too. The people there were as bad as the gabbers at the Museum of Modern Art, if not worse.
Unfortunately, just like those cocktail parties Carl used to despise so much, these events were a necessary evil from time to time, so Markus forced himself to smile as he answered questions that were borderline offensive.
The acceptance of androids as a new living species was still quite a novelty, and most people meant no harm, just didn’t know how to communicate with them after everything that happened. That’s why he was here. To make them see that they were no different from them. If only some of the remarks didn’t feel like they were pulling his teeth out! At least the reporter, Joyce, always made an effort to correct herself when he let her know what she was saying was getting out of hand. But still...
“So... there is word on the street that someone had managed to capture the heart of the famous deviant leader! Is there any truth to it?”
Markus froze in shock. How did they know? His eyes wandered in the general direction where he assumed his friends and Simon were waiting for him to finish the interview, keeping their fingers crossed for him. Sadly, the studio lights were shining right into his eyes, so he couldn’t make out their expressions. They were probably as shocked as he was.
“This is bullshit,” North stated via their wireless connection. “Don’t reply, Markus. They are just digging for dirt. What you do with Simon in privacy is no one's business.”
Josh was next to chime in. “For once, I have to agree. They should focus on the things that matter, not this.”
Although Markus agreed with them wholeheartedly, he was still waiting for the one person who had the biggest say in this. Simon. The thing between them was still too fragile, and he didn’t want to squander it by making him uncomfortable.
“What do you think I should say, Simon? I don’t want to keep you a secret, but I won’t put you in the spotlight if you don’t wish so.”
At first, he was met with silence on the other end. Simon was obviously as torn at this as him. Then he responded, voice wavering: “I don’t think it would do us any good at this point to give any names. Maybe keep the details? Other than that, I’m fine with whatever you decide would be the best.” He went silent for a moment, before admitting: “Don’t wanna keep you a secret too.”
Markus nodded out of instinct, before turning back at the reporter. Thank god their communication was fast as a bolt of lightning, otherwise, the awkward pause might get even worse. “I hope you do realize this is a very personal question, Joyce. But yes. You could say that.”
“Oooh, lucky them, then! There’s no shortage of people who would jump at the opportunity to date someone like you.”
Were they now? He didn’t know and, honestly, he did not care. They weren’t his beautiful, radiant Simon. “I’m sure there are some fans or admirers, and I appreciate the attention,” not really, “even though I think people should focus more on what I say rather than on how I look.” He glanced down at the ground, suddenly abashed, before he picked up where he ended. “Back during the revolution, there was no time for romance. We all fought to survive. Now I found what I’ve been missing and I’m happy. It’s a tremendous success that our kind can finally experience love without having to fear the reaction of people around us.”
The crowd, mostly present androids, cheered at that. He overheard even one loud “aww” from backstage. Joyce giggled. It was a weird cacophony of sounds. One he was still getting used to, months after giving speeches. “You sound smitten with that mysterious person! I’m sure our viewers are dying to know whether it was a human or another android who rocked your world.”
That gave him pause. Simon said to keep it as ambiguous as possible. “Android. Former domestic assistant. And that’s all I will say.”
There were dozens of models that were considered domestic, both male and female. Small chance they would immediately figure out it was a PL600 with sky blue eyes and a gentle smile. And if they did? Well, people speculate all the time. They didn’t have to confirm it. Or they could. It was up to them to decide whether they would make it official, once they got more comfortable with the situation.
“Ah, I see. So you swept them off their feet and now they keep the house warm while you are here, changing the world.”
What. The. Hell.
At first, he thought – hoped – he heard her wrong. But no. She did say that. His heart picked up speed and he could feel his cheeks heating up as he fought the urge to scream: Just because I’m the leader doesn’t mean my partner has to be some submissive, meek flower who stays at home and takes care of the household!
Out of instinct, his eyes wandered to where he thought Simon stood. He could imagine his sad expression as he took the insult and said nothing, keeping it all bottled up. No way. Markus can’t let this slide.
“We are no longer slaves of our programming, Joyce,” he had to try very hard to keep his voice calm. “We can choose to be anyone we want to be now, and my partner chose to fight for our cause side by side with me ever since the beginning. Never passes a day when I wouldn’t admire their dedication, strength, and voice of reason. So stop belittling their worth just because of their past.”
The whole studio went silent. Joyce in particular looked like she wished the ground would swallow her whole. Although she had a lot of makeup on, he could see her face was getting a radiant shade of red. Good. Maybe she will think next time before she spouts something like this.

À la Claire Fontaine
Summary: Before a battle, Scout is trying to work off excess energy, which keeps annoying Spy to no end. When he has enough and throws a knife at him, Scout settles down for a while, only to start humming a familiar song. It brings back some memories Spy thought he would forget.
Fandom: Team Fortress 2
Ship: Spy/Scout’s mother (familial Spy & Scout)
Warnings: Panic Attacks
Tags: Light Angst, Scout Doesn't Know Spy Is Scout's Parent (Team Fortress 2), Spy Tries to be a Parent (Team Fortress 2), Father-Son Relationship, Scout Has ADHD (Team Fortress 2), Soft Spy (Team Fortress 2), Flashbacks, Spy loves Scout's Mother, Smoking, POV Spy (Team Fortress 2), Spy Being an Asshole (Team Fortress 2)
Wordcount: 2,607
A/N: Inspired by this adorable picture by @wachtelspinat and by French lullaby À la claire fontaine (obviously).
You can also read it on ao3!
Ten minutes until the next match starts. Well, nine minutes and thirty-five seconds now, to be precise. Just enough for his last cigarette of the day, Spy concluded and pulled out a lighter. That… fire-loving abomination sitting on the other side of the locker room visibly perked up at the faint flickering light – he cut it off before it could move. It was on their side, but as far as he was concerned, better be safe than sorry.
The entire team RED was spending its final moments before the bloodbath the only way they knew. Heavy fussed over Sasha, his much-beloved weapon, Demoman had just opened his second – or was it third? – bottle of Scrumpy and was drunkenly offering it to anyone in the immediate vicinity, and Spy? All he wanted was to have a smoke in peace before the fighting started.
Just another ordinary day in the gutter.
Scout sat on the bench right opposite him and, as usual, had a really hard time trying to stay still. His excitement before matches always had this nervous edge, no matter how many times his guts got scattered across the sands of New Mexico. He couldn’t stop fidgeting, his leg bouncing up and down nearly constantly. At first, it was a mere nuisance. Easy to block out with other white noise. Another thirty seconds in, and it made him grit his teeth.
Much like the Scout himself, Spy assumed.
Bah, he’s worse than an eight-year-old child with a bad case of rabies. Can’t slow down to save his life, he rolled his eyes. So much so for having some peace before work. But then again, with this unruly bunch of misfits and criminals, what could have he expected?
Then, as if the noise of a foot slapping against the ground every few seconds wasn’t bad enough, it became accompanied by an even more nerve-wrenching sound.
Scout, completely oblivious to the fact that he was driving one of his coworkers mad with his antics, fished a package of chewing gum out of one of his pockets. Took two at once and started chomping. Loudly. And when Spy said loudly, he meant obnoxiously loudly. That kind of loud that made him regret that he couldn’t send the other mercenary straight back to respawn without having to explain himself to the Administrator later on.
If she were there at the moment, she would have understood, he noted with a huff of annoyance.
But even his patience had its limits. And frankly, he has had enough.
“Ahem,” he cleared his throat, letting Scout know that he was walking on thin ice. But the buck-teethed youth had absolutely no sense for subtlety, so it flew right over his head. He tilted his head to the side, blew a bubblegum bubble with another loud click of his tongue… and Spy just snapped.
The butterfly knife was in his hand in an instant and before anyone could have even noticed, he threw it. It pierced the wall right next to Scout’s head, popping the pink bubble out. The entire locker room went silent as all heads turned in their direction.
Scout blinked owlishly as he tried to figure out what had just happened. Then his face went ruddy with anger. “Woah, woah, what the heck, dude?! You could have killed me!”
“Oh, please, if I was really aiming for your head, I wouldn’t have missed,” he replied in a snarky tone as he got up to retrieve his knife. It was stuck at least an inch and a half in the wall. Hm. Good to know he wasn’t losing his touch. “Now, would you kindly shut up so I could have some rest?”
Scout huffed out an annoyed breath, but since he didn’t want to start a fight so shortly before having to enter the field, he sat straight and for the first time in his life did as he was told. Smart boy.
Ah, finally. A moment of respite, Spy closed his eyes with a smirk on his face.
He thought this would be the end of it, which only proved he didn’t know Scout nearly well enough. Because as soon as he relaxed, the humming started. And Spy just froze, the lit cigarette fell from his fingers and scattered ash all over the floor.
He… knew that tune. It might be butchered by Scout’s voice, sure, and like in all the other aspects of his life, the boy was rushing too much, but Spy would still recognize this song even with his ears cut off.
À la claire fontaine.
Suddenly, he couldn’t breathe. His heart was hammering against his ribs, which grew too constricted for their own good. It felt like he was dying. No, now that he thought about it, dying didn’t feel nearly as bad. At least not after the first dozen times. This, this was a pure nightmare.
Well, what should he do? Dieu, he needed another cigarette, maybe two, to wrestle his nerves under control again. But his fingers shook so bad, that someone might take notice. And he couldn’t let others see him like this.

Spiritual Significance of Budh Purnima 2023: Date, Time, Lunar Eclipse, and Siddhi Yoga
Tumblr media
Budh Purnima is a sacred festival that celebrates the birth, enlightenment and death of Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. It is also known as Vaishakh Purnima or Satya Vinayak Purnima, as it falls on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Vaishakh. On this day, devotees observe fast and worship Lord Vishnu and Dharmaraj, the god of justice.
Know more about Buddha Purnima 2023: the date, timings, rituals, and more. Get an online astrology consultation by the world-renowned astrologer Mr. Alok Khandelwal.
Date: 5th May, 2023. Day of the year’s first lunar eclipse.
Time: The Purnima Tithi will begin at 04:14 AM on May 5, 2023, and end at 03:33 AM on May 6, 2023, according to the Drik Panchang.
They also perform charitable deeds and listen to the teachings of Lord Buddha.
This year, it is a very special occasion as it coincides with a rare phenomenon of lunar eclipse and Siddhi Yoga. These two events have a significant impact on the astrological aspects of the day and influence the fate of all the zodiac signs. Let us find out more about these events
Lunar Eclipse on Budh Purnima
When the earth passes in front of the sun and the moon, it creates a lunar eclipse by casting a shadow on the moon. On May 5, 2023, a penumbral lunar eclipse will take place from 11:44 pm to 3:12 am (IST). A penumbral lunar eclipse is a partial eclipse in which only the outer part of the earth’s shadow falls on the moon, making it appear slightly darker than usual. Unlike a total or partial lunar eclipse, there is no Sutak period for a penumbral lunar eclipse, which means that there are no restrictions on performing any religious or auspicious activities during this time.
A lunar eclipse affects the emotional and mental state of all the zodiac signs, as the moon represents the mind and feelings in astrology. It also brings changes and transformations in various aspects of life, such as relationships, career, health, etc. However, not all changes are negative; some can be positive and beneficial as well. The effects of the lunar eclipse depend on the position of the moon in your birth chart and the house it rules.
The lunar eclipse on Budh Purnima will have a positive impact on Gemini, Leo and Sagittarius signs, as they will experience growth, success and happiness in their personal and professional lives. They will also enjoy good health and peace of mind. However, they should avoid being overconfident or arrogant and maintain a humble attitude.
The other zodiac signs may face some challenges or difficulties during this time, such as stress, anxiety, conflicts, health issues, financial problems, etc. They should be careful and cautious in their decisions and actions and avoid taking any risks or making any major changes. They should also seek guidance from their elders or experts and pray to Lord Vishnu and Dharmaraj for protection and blessings.

Siddhi Yoga on Budh Purnima
Siddhi Yoga is a rare and auspicious yoga that occurs when certain planetary combinations are formed in the sky. Siddhi means perfection or accomplishment in Sanskrit, and yoga means union or conjunction. Therefore, Siddhi Yoga signifies the perfect alignment of planets that results in favorable outcomes for any work done during this time.
On May 5, 2023, Siddhi Yoga will occur from 5:47 am to 6:25 pm (IST), which is a long duration of almost 13 hours. This means that any work initiated or completed during this time will have a high chance of success and prosperity. Siddhi Yoga is especially beneficial for starting a new project, business or venture; participating in religious works such as charity, pilgrimage or meditation; resolving legal matters or disputes; buying or selling property or vehicles; getting married or engaged; traveling or relocating; etc.
Siddhi Yoga enhances the positive qualities of all the zodiac signs and helps them achieve their goals and aspirations. It also brings happiness, harmony and satisfaction in their lives. However, they should not misuse this opportunity for selfish or unethical purposes and should act with honesty and integrity. They should also express gratitude to Lord Vishnu and Dharmaraj for bestowing them with this rare chance.
Conclusion
Budh Purnima 2023 is a unique and special occasion that combines the spiritual significance of Lord Buddha’s life with the astrological influence of lunar eclipse and Siddhi Yoga. It is a day to celebrate enlightenment, compassion and justice; to seek blessings from Lord Vishnu and Dharmaraj; to perform good deeds and help others; to embrace changes and opportunities; to overcome challenges and difficulties; to achieve success and prosperity; to enjoy happiness and peace.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR PERSON'S LIFE RIGHT NOW + A MESSAGE FROM THEM
𖦹 this reading includes what is going on in your person’s life right now, what they (or their higher self) want to say to you at this moment and songs they'd like to give you. this reading is more about your future spouse or your future partner, someone who you may not be in contact with but you're curious about what they're doing.
𖦹 so there will be two paragraphs for each pile (what your person is doing and what they want to say to you). you can choose more than one pile. ex: pile 1 for what your person is doing and pile 2 for the message.
𖦹 how does this work? close your eyes and take deep breaths, pick the pile you are most drawn to. If you aren’t drawn to any pile then that’s okay, these messages aren’t for you.
𖦹 take what resonates.

THEIR LIFE
hello pile 01, welcome to your reading. I'm getting a lot of fire energy here, especially leo. I'm hearing Leo in 1st and 10th house, aries in 8th house, aries mars, mars in 10th house and also Venus in 2nd and 3rd house. I'm also getting gemini and capricorn. capricorn mars, aquarius venus. If these aren't your placements then they're most likely your person's placements. or perhaps, those are their transits. I feel a lot of confident energy from your person, I think they are at a good place right now. Your person has been betrayed and heartbroken quite recently but I feel like they're not trying to let that get to them. they're keeping their head high, focusing on their goals and working really hard. the pain motivated them to work hard, maybe as a way to get revenge? In their head, they may think that if they work hard, they can show off their success to the person that broke them like "hey, look at me now!". for some others, it's possible that they're working really hard because the work distracts them from the pain and the situation. they're acting like the pain isn't affecting them, I'm seeing them just laughing and hanging out with a group of people (their friends?) acting like theyre not dealing with any problems. your person is definitely at a period of time where work is only on their mind, they're hungry for success. success is the only thing your person is heading towards, it's the only direction they see. love isn't on your person's mind at all so I doubt that you've crossed their mind. but little do they know, the direction that they're heading towards will also lead them to you. your person may have travelled somewhere recently or maybe they're thinking of travelling somewhere else. there is change on the horizon for your person, maybe they will be promoted soon or moving countries, going to university, etc. they are so ambitious. I'm seeing piles of paper on desks, papers stuck on walls with dates and notes on them and also quotes. motivational quotes perhaps. your person is also working out, they could be getting up quite early. 6 am? I'm getting mad mars in 6th house vibes from your person. they're feeling burnt out, they have so much on their plate but they're not stopping anytime soon because they like it and also because they have no choice. they're also taking many responsibilities, I'm hearing house chores, work and looking after their parents or siblings. your person could be a student, a business person or they could work in an office. they're organizing their workspace and keeping track of their schedule, getting ready for the next chapter of their life. laziness is not in your person's vocabulary!
THEIR MESSAGE
you know, I am so busy right now. I'm too exhausted to even think about love, to think about you. I don't think about it anymore unlike before. I know at times you feel like we're nowhere close and you doubt my existence because of how distant I feel and I'm sorry. It is partially true, we're nowhere close to eachother and we're both individual human beings. let's live in the present and experience things and meet new people without having to think about eachother. I don't feel right about thinking of the future and just hoping for something to happen, hoping to just end up with someone like you. It doesn't feel right. I need to do something, I need to take action. that's exactly what I'm doing now. It gives me a sense of stability knowing that I'm taking action and there's a high possibility of my dreams coming true. I've promised myself that I won't stop working until I've achieved everything. I can't do all of this by myself, I need your help too. I'm asking you a favour, do your part. I'm doing mine. work hard and don't slack off. I'm sorry again for sounding cold, I'm not like this on a daily basis. I'm just really tired. I need to get my point across. don't slack off. please. I'll keep saying that. oh, that reminds me. at times I will definitely sound like a teacher or a boss, it's just a habit I got from work. It's not my intention to make you feel stupid, I know you're smart. I wanted you to know that because I don't want you to think I'm generally a cold person. I'm not. when tarot readers or psychics or astrologers or whoever says that I'm cold, they only mean when I'm at work or when I'm busy or serious. I would never be like that to someone I love, especially you. truthfully speaking, you don't know much about me at all especially if you think I'm a cold person. that thought you have of me stops now. I'm guessing that you're curious about me now. I like to look neat and clean, I don't like bright colours, they look unprofessional. I hang out with my friends sometimes and we just have lunch at a café or a local restaurant. I'm on my computer a lot so my back always hurts but I'm doing exercises to help me with it. I have too many cookbooks that I don't use because I don’t have much time, I end up freestyling my food and cooking up some eggs. I need to get better at managing time. I don't like people that don't practice what they preach, it irritates me. now for my appearance. this, in no way is useful information that will help us in any way but I suppose I'll just tell you. I have a sharp nose, it's pointy and a little wide. I don't have any piercings. I don't have bangs. as for my eyes, they're brown and deep-set. my lips? they're just lips. you'll love them anyway so it doesn't matter. my hair? neat and brown. you'll love it too. that's enough. you can stop trying to get to know me now, leave that for when we meet. you can know me more yourself when the time comes, I like the process of getting to know someone and the effort someone puts into getting to know me. until then, keep working hard.

THEIR LIFE
I’m getting cancer energy from the pile, also pisces and gemini and libra. I’m hearing cancer/pisces/ libra venus, venus in 5th/7th/12th house, pisces moon, mercury in 7th house, cancer in 2nd house, gemini rising. if these aren’t your placements then they’re most likely your person’s, if not then these may be their transits. right now I feel like your person is trying something new, especially a hobby. I’m getting ‘painting’ for some of you. for others, your person has started something new like a project or they moved to a new house, something like that. there’s this feeling of ‘newness’ in your person’s life right now. they have so much passion for whatever this ‘newness’ is. they’re excited for this change, they can’t wait to move to the next stage. I’m feeling a positive energy coming from your person. their creativity is flowing through their blood, they feel inspired and joyous. some of you may not like to hear this but your person may have gotten in a relationship with someone or they want to get into a relationship with someone. they have a crush. I feel like there’s still an important choice to be made and your person has waited such a long time for the next stage, the relationship stage. I feel like their crush or their partner isn’t showing them that much attention, it feels quite one sided (your person giving more), they’re doing so much for their crush/partner but I feel like your person isn’t seeing it right, they’re just so blinded. like a little kid when they have a crush. If you don’t like what you’re hearing, don’t worry, they’re your person for a reason. anyways for others of you, I’m seeing your person listening to music while they’re doing their new hobby. painting is coming really strong, I’m seeing an easel. If it’s not a hobby then your person is feeling in love, whether it be a person or something else. their head is in the clouds, they’re listening to love songs, feeling so inspired by everything around them. love and venus themes is really important in your person’s life right now. If you’ve been listening to love songs recently or if you just feel all lovey-dovey, it’s most likely because of your person, you’re connected to your person. or if you feel inspired out of nowhere, it’s probably because of your person too. I just felt like I had to let you know that. sooner or later though, your person will realise that the relationship is one sided and they will give up on it. this will hit your person really hard, it will be a hard lesson for them. perhaps even the last lesson because I feel like your person has always done too much for people that don’t deserve their love. your person has experienced a lot and learnt many lessons except for this, when they learn this though, they will have learnt all the lessons. they can tick this off their box. I’m getting such wise Pisces vibes from them. for lots of you, your person is already in the 'realisation' stage and there's about to be a change in their life.
THEIR MESSAGE
It’s been challenging these days, maybe even these past few weeks and maybe even months too. It’s fine though, I can get through it. you don’t have to worry about me. I have a gut feeling that something is going to happen soon, disappointments? I’m not surprised, I’ve been so stuck in my own head. I don’t know why I keep giving people more. so stupid of me. maybe it’s not my fault? maybe it’s their fault for giving less, who knows. I don’t know how to stop. why do I do this? I keep getting disappointed over and over again, I’m starting to not have hope anymore. despite this, I still think love is beautiful. with the right person. love is not only limited to romantic love though, which is what I’ve learnt recently. I’ve been so fixated on romantic relationships that I’ve forgotten about the beautiful things around me. surprisingly, there’s love everywhere. do you know what I love? I love the stars, I love flat white coffee, I love the smell of fresh grass, I love nature and the sun, I love dogs (especially small dogs) and I love experiences. experiences that shape me into a better person, painful or not, I love those. not to sound masochistic – but I love pain. I learn from pain. love has always been painful for me but I’m still giving people my all, wrong people to be precise. Is that why I keep falling for people that don’t care about me? because I love getting hurt? now that I’ve thought of it, it sounds terrible. I need to fix that. I feel embarrassed now that you know this, please don’t shake your head. I will fix it. I want this cycle to end. don’t be worried about me. you should continue living your life, there’s yet so much you can experience. places to go, new people to meet, new activities to do. so much. I’d love to experience so many things with you. do you like road trips? I’d love to go on a picnic date too, does stargazing sound good? we could travel around the world, that’s on my bucket list. so many ideas but there’s still so much distance and time between us. I feel excited thinking about it, I want to do so much right now and experience so many things. by the time we meet, I might already have a long white beard because I’ll be so wise *laughs*. who knows, white hair does look awesome. I think it might suit me actually. on a serious note, I want you to know that you should not be afraid to try new things. don't be afraid of change. regret is scarier than change, staying in the same place and not growing is scarier than change. you may lose something good but what if you gain something even better? I’ll be there for you every step of the way, I’m always there for you even though I’m not there with you physically. do you feel me? I’m so proud of you. If you see an opportunity, take it or you’ll regret it later. don’t be afraid of saying no or saying yes, you deserve to be heard, assert your dominance *laughs*. I love you, take care of yourself. you can do it. [:

pile 03's songs
THEIR LIFE
I'm getting mutable and fixed energy here, especially scorpio, virgo, leo, sagittarius. maybe scorpio rising and sagittarius rising with pluto in 1st house. I'm hearing saturn in 8th house, saturn in 22°, scorpio sun or moon aspecting saturn, pluto and sun or moon sitting in the same house. if these aren't your placements then they're most likely your person's. these could be their transits too. your person is going through a transformation, something had recently happened in their life that has caused this transformation. I'm thinking it's death, a death of a loved one like a family member, a friend or a pet. someone close to them. If it's not a death of a loved one then it's a death of a cycle, a death of a job, a relationship, something like that. something that came to an end. it's affecting your person badly and they feel so much guilt. they're missing and mourning over whatever this is. they're pessimistic, they feel like the whole world is against them and that their would turned upside down. they have no hope anymore, they're not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm seeing that image of Yuu Otasaka from the anime Charlotte. I think your person is exactly like that right now. depressed. I see tissues, dark rooms and hoodies and blankets. also gaming for a number of you (interesting how the picture you chose is a picture of keys). they're going through it right now and they need support. your person is not communicating with many people or interacting with anyone at all, they're pushing people away. looking at the picture of the pile you chose, I realised it says "wish you were here". now this could mean that they wish that the person they lost were still with them or they wish that someone could come and support them or comfort them, or for a few amount of you, this could be meaning you. they wish you were there with them. however, I don't think love is a thought that comes in their mind in this period of time. it's more like, they're screaming into a void wishing someone could hear them, not directly meaning you. for others of you, I'm getting a different situation. your person may have gotten fired or they tried something but it didn't work out and they had so much hope for it. they badly wanted it to work out and now your person is feeling disappointed in themselves, like someone just ripped away something really valuable to them. your person doesn't know that the reason this, whatever this is, didn't work out is because it wasn't meant to. It's not part of their divine plan. It honestly saved your person from future problems but they don't know that. It's a blessing in disguise. I'm strongly feeling it's something related to their job or maybe love, 'right place, wrong time' is what I'm hearing. your person is blaming themselves for it all, thinking it was because of time, lack of planning or they didn't try hard enough. It isn't true, they should be easy on themselves.
THEIR MESSAGE
I don't know what to say. I don't feel like saying much. why do you want to know anyway? do you care? am I interesting? I'm not all that special, you know. here I go again, making sh*t sad. I'll try and make this light-hearted as possible because you shouldn't see this side of me, not so soon. not like this. *silence* I'll start off by saying that you can't control whatever life throws at you. but you can control your reactions and how you deal with it. I'm not doing very well, not dealing with it the way I usually do. It hit me hard and I don't like being sad like this and not doing anything, not wanting to get out of bed, not wanting to talk to anyone, not finding joy in the things I love doing. I hate this f*cking feeling and the way I'm dealing with it. I heard that you should let yourself feel everything once in a while. I'm f*cking feeling everything alright. why did I not let myself feel before? now it's all consuming me. all of my problems and emotions, this darkness inside of me, erupting. I regret this. I regret acting like I was fine before, finding distractions. now I know that being distracted doesn't necessarily mean that it's gone, the problem is still there. don't do what I did. let yourself feel. or it will all build up and eat you alive. you don't want that. I don't want that. I don't want you to be sad, god no. definitely not like this. but if being sad will help you then that's certainly fine by me, just don't act like you're fine. that will hurt me much more. just do what I say. showing emotions is not a sign of weakness. look at me, I'm so f*cked up because of not thinking that. this feeling will go away, right? right. If you need to let it all out, do it. I can feel your sadness, the nights you cried, I felt them. those tears of yours, I want to wipe them away but I'm not there. it sucks. I need you here. I need a good f*cking hug right now. I want you to be happy but I don't know how. I'd do anything to see that smile of yours. that precious smile that I have yet to see. I know it's precious. listen to me. I need you. I need you to stay strong. you're so strong and much more emotionally intelligent than I am. I am so in awe. your strength gives me energy, you give me energy. you're the light of my life. I hope our kids will be as beautiful and as amazing as you. I'm glad I was given the chance to talk to you like this. I love you, sunshine.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse - A message from your Star Commander to You-
Come in Star Cadets!
I think tonight? today? somewhere this weekend, is the Solar Eclipse. Now, from my gatherings, Taurus and Scorpio placements are going to get heavily with this energy but I also read Cancer, Pisces, Leo and Aquarius are also runner ups for hitting this energy lol.
And I also read somewhere that this energy can be felt between now and like 6 months down the line. that is, if you haven't been feeling it already ;) (idk, it's just what I've been reading via google, tumblr, twitter. the web lol)
So, I've gathered some collective messages for you all. and then some smaller ones for each of your signs.
scroll down below, find your sun, moon, rising, venus and have a nice year basically lol.
Collective message::
So, this new moon, eclipse...thing, is going to be conjunct Uranus, the planet of change. now, overall, expect surprises. expect beautiful changes and new things coming in for you. regardless of your sign.
I'd check to see where taurus is in your chart, because that is going to be where you see it the most.
Now, from my guides and the stars, here is something we can all know.
Judgement day seems to be fast approaching for many of us. those who have had strong dreams and strong wills to go and get them will be seeing their rewards soon. this feels birght, warm and very sudden for many of us.
Others will first have to experience the rapid change of the cosmos. this change feels like it has been stuck to us for a little bit now. like peeling off a band-aid. but now, it's time to fully embrace it.
some of you have been hurting for awhile. and your time is near. it's coming. you'll feel it like a breath of fresh air, a warm heart beat or even that of a fire on a winters night.
For some of you this is love, for others it's money. some of you it's a combination of them both. regardless of what you are chasing, a new hope is blooming. dawn is approaching, and now it's time to ride that horizon.
Messages for each sign::
Remember to check you sun, moon, rising and venus. or really, whatever house Taurus resides in.
Aries:: You have more time to create the life that you want. more time than you realize. there is no need to rush anything. time is essentially meaningless. do not bother listening to people who tell you that you are "late" or "Early". everything happens just as it should be. keep creating, keep exploring. there's no need to rush to anything.
Leo :: Sometimes a blessing can be as small as getting tickets to an event. sometimes, a blessing can be something even bigger than that. expect a gift to come to you during this season. something almost impossible. or at least, something that seems impossible. they hear you. do not worry.
Sagittarius :: As much as it would be cool to have the next biggest thing, sagittarius, your lesson right now is to realize that you have everything you need. masks will be revealed and you'll be happy you didn't follow. not everything is as it seems, and you'll see soon that, people are envious of you. keep doing you sag. there's no reason to let the masks win ;)
Taurus:: Release is coming to you. a cycle that feels like it never ends is finally ...ending. the torment of the past, the sleepless nights, the money struggles. whatever makes you feel like is on repeat. it's ending. sweet taurus, it is our time to shine in this eclipse ;) a new dawn is approaching. it too shall end.
Virgo :: Get creative during this season virgo. the guides are telling you to spread your wings. imagine the life you want. the story you want to create. suspend belief that something can't be done and just do it. you'll be surprisingly successful.
Capricorn :: It's time for new adventures cap. what is foggy is going to be brought to the light. change is spooky, the unknown is spooky. but for you, it will be worth while. you may not know where you are going right now. but trust that it's taking you to a better place. reach out into the unknown. it calls for you.
Pisces:: Blessings! you are so blessed this season pisces. whether you are just happy with what you have, or something that you have been wishing for comes to you. everything around you will feel a little brighter...lighter. journey forth and find your balance this season pisces. you may find that everything wants to give you a helping hand =)
Cancer :: you may be feeling a little bit alone during this season cancer. but nothing lasts forever. you will find comfort where you thought there was none. you will find that friend or lover. you will see that new beginnings are possible, and emotions are only temporary. let the pain in, but also, let it go.
Scorpio :: Gotta stay flexible during this season Scorp. everything around you is changing. and it's scary but you are the sign of change, are you not? ;) of transformation on a soul level. you probably feel the power of this eclipse. staying flexible will allow you to see the things that want to pop up around you. it may be unexpected, but i feel like most of it are ... fun. good things. roll with those punches because something better is waiting for you.
Gemini:: this season is all about timing gemini. fated to meet someone, fated to get that job. everything just lines up for you. even things you may have forgotten about. things will happen for you when you least expect it. think of it as a helping hand from the guides. allow things to bless you without you thinking you don't deserve it. accept what comes. you DO deserve these things. -the good things at least lol-
Aquarius:: Loyalty is key this season aquarius. to your goals, to your friends, family, yourself. people will show their true colors to you. and during times of stress, you'll see who is really there for you. but this is no time for backing out. results need discipline. keep pushing, I see something beautiful coming for you.
Libra:: it's time to clean! clean out that friends list, clean out that mental space. clean your house literally. it's time to take note of what is around you. more importantly, take note of what isn't helping you anymore. clean the cobbwebs and start anew. think of this season as your "Refresh". your .... spring cleaning so to speak. you'll see things with fresh eyes and be able to welcome the new without the dirty, cluttered, old crap in the way lol.

🍩My experiences with each Moon sign🍩
(Cause yall are messy)
Tumblr media
I have done this a few times before but for Sun signs and did rank placements but never shared my thoughts and experiences with the Moon signs.
Now I know how this goes, so if you get mad or sad then go off I guess. Aint the first time I get cursed out or attacked in this bitch. Plus, I am a Cap moon so naturally I won’t do well with some Moons and I will be nitpicking everything about everyone.
🍩Aries Moon🍩
My dad’s moon. Yup, that tells you alot without me even starting. Having our Moons in Square shit was hard to say the least. It took a long time for us to be on middle grounds and because I don’t feel comfortable talking about my problems here I will continue on. The Aries Moon that I really like and can think of is Rihanna, so I would say it’s unfair to make a whole judgment but from what I saw and heard they’re not exactly the best to be around. So I give them a 3/10 for being bold and having nerve.
🍩Taurus Moon🍩
Now this Moon right here I know people from ( a close friend and my sister, plus some others) and I don’t have many strong opinions about it. As a Taurus Sun, it can be a challenge to work with a Taurus Moon. I am stubborn at my core and they’re stubborn with their heart, so everytime we disagree it’s like a rope pulling contest. Way too stagnant for me but I think that’s because of my other placements and they don’t take any advice or open up no matter what. On to the good, I never disliked someone with this placement. No matter how much of an asshole they can be, to me it is difficult to hate them or stay mad at them. They’re warm, kind, and sweet but a bit aloof and naive, also they don’t like to touch and hug as some people might think. I will give them a 8/10
🍩Gemini Moon🍩
(⚠️TW⚠️ mention of rape and erratic behavior)
I only had one best friend with this placement and I don’t I want to meet any more, and I am at peace with that if they resemble her in any way. She was a maniac. She loved to lie, create drama, blow shit up, act crazy and basically be shocking. I do find similarities with Gemini Sun where they do shit for reactions but with her, she will take it to the next level. Lie about being raped, act possessed, or pretend that she is being followed. It’s not fair to associate her with people who share the same Moon as her but that was y’all’s representation in my life. She was erratic so it’s difficult to see where her Moon was in effect and where she was just off. I’ll give them a 1/10, would not recommend until proven otherwise.
🍩Cancer Moon🍩
The first that comes to my mind is Taylor Swift and to me she is the ultimate Cancer Moon. It juat makes sense how fast she takes it to the next level with people. Whether getting serious quickly with someone or throwing down and feuding. She just always at a 100. Personally, I never got close with someone who has this placement, maybe it’s because I am a Capricorn Moon myself, but I would say the ones that I have met were nice. I’ll give them a 5/10
🍩Leo Moon🍩
I only had one best friend with this placement but the people I have met with this Moon I still remember. They all had one thing in common and that was being emotionally traumatized and have lost one parent. My best friend was super loyal, very confident in what they believed in and represented, were always there for me and had an amazing ability in motivating others. But they were also super prideful and there’s no coming back with them. Fight once and it’s over. (Yes I am looking at you Jonnie). One of the other people was with me in uni and always had the to urge won up me and my friend. He had scars all over and he doesn’t remember how he got them. But he was super proud of himself and his home country, which I respect and admire. I’ll give them a 6/10
🍩Virgo Moon🍩
I know two people with this placement, my mom and a professor at uni, and oh boy it makes sense that they’re a Virgo Moon. Me and my mom are too alike that we clash strongly at times. She thinks she can do it better and I think I can do it better and we just have like a competition on who done it better basically. From cooking, to how you light the stove, to how you put on clothes, to how you lay down on bed. Both my mom and my professor are super critical and precise, althogh my professor is a double Virgo (Sun and Moon) so she will go even further. They have to do everything as it arises and act like there’s no time and everything is about to go wrong. Like damn sis chill the fuck out for a sec and this is coming from a Cap moon so you know it’s bad. But I really like Virgo Moon, even though people might hate such a personality but I can relate to them in some ways. I’ll give them 7/10
🍩Libra Moon🍩
My only online friend that I talk to all the time got this Moon. Other than her I met only two people and they were something. Okay so for my friend, because I never actually have seen her physically with my own eyes I can’t say how she acts all the time, but she is one of the best listeners I had in my life. She likes to hear me ramble for an hour about a dumb encounter that lasted a second, talking about astrology and some nerdy things and then not so nerdy things. I believe that it’s a Libra Moon quality to be emotionally versatile and attentive. I think because she is a Leo dominant she acts much fiery and fiercely than a Libra would. As for the other people I just thought they were fake. One acted as a friend but then would just disappear so I was over it quickly and the other was super passive and pretentious that I think she shits out plastic. All in all I think it’s a great Moon. I’ll give them a 7/10
🍩Scorpio Moon🍩
One of the hardest Moons I ever delt with but I find that I love them too. My oldest sister had this Moon and she is such a mystery. Because I am a Taurus Sun, it is only natural for me to have a hard time with a Scorpio Moon. Even though she is an extrovert, she rarely talks about herself and her feelings, you will never catch her slipping or show vulnerability. I can see how difficult it may be for her being a Cancer with a Scorpio Moon and have Gemini dominance. But she’s a bitch at heart and I am cool with it. I’ll give them 5/10 cause I am not a big fan of paradoxical people
🍩Sagittarius Moon🍩
A moon that I always babysat. I had two best friends with this Moon and if I was born a second earlier, it would mine too. I don’t know if it’s because of my Gemini Venus or my 0 degree Capricorn Moon but I love Sagittarius Moons. I was fortunate to see some of their weaknesses and for them to trust me enough to be vulnerable. But boy do they get themselves into the dumbest situation because they wanted to see what would happen. I had to babysit them and help them do everything like shopping, cooking, cleaning, assembling furniture, be their body guard when buying weed. (Shhhh it’s a secret). They’re in many ways immature cause they run from things and everytime you try to be real with them, they say “stop being negative”. I’ll give them a 9/10
🍩Capricorn Moon🍩
The grande dame of the Moon signs, sitting at it’s opposite planet. I have met many Cap Moons and honestly we are bitches 😂. The energy of sitting next to a Capricorn Moon is too fucking much like I never knew it’s like that. I noticed the way they stare, talk, walk and sit can be so aggressive and intimidating. I see why people might label us as bullies, cause the energy is definitely there and I myself was such a cunt (still a little but I am more aware of myself now) that I get where both are coming from. Life as a Capricorn Moon is emotionally flat. If wasn’t for my other placements you will never see me even flinch. I think we just take everything and let it process in our head before we let it into our hearts. So to me, we’re not mean, we just don’t see how something might be hurtful. But also that tone and that blank face, goddam! That’s why I try to smile cause bitch no, I didn’t know I was walking with a death stare this whole time. Anyways, I will give us 10/10 cause I am self appreciative like that 😂✌️
🍩Aquarius Moon🍩
I have always tried to understand Aquarius Moon and it was only a month ago that I have realized they themselves are not sure of who they’re. I had one best friend with this placement and three cousins (all siblings). First, my cousins are super competitive with each other on who gets to do what and if it happens that they’re similar in something they will get pissed. The person that was my best friend was like that as well. Only he would drop a an entire hobby, interest, something close to his heart, shit even a personality trait. I find them to be constantly changing and trying, so they shift between one end of extreme to the other until they center themselves. I’ll give them a 4/10
🍩Pisces Moon🍩
Now let’s talk about a depressing placement, in my opinion of course 😅. I don’t know if it’s the influence of Neptune on the Moon or is it the just the demeanor of Pisces, but good god girl get a grip (they call this the five G’s). My youngest sister is a Pisces Moon, and as creative as she is, she is pessimistic and overly cynical. I mean I am all for being critical and real but looking at everything with jacked up black sprayed glasses is just too much for me. Other than my sister I don’t know any Pisces Moon very well but I had a few acquaintances. I noticed that they talked about a specific thing and that’s it. I have found them to be amazing at drawing, painting and have an incredible artistic sense. At times twisted and dark, but I love the art that comes with it. I’ll give them a 5/10
Here’s the tea. It’s Pisces season so remember I am sensitive right now, and also it’s my life and I wish I met someone as amazing as you might think you’re. (Maybe that was a little too aggressive)
Okay love you ❤️

ੈ✩‧₊˚ A look into Producer SUGA ੈ✩‧₊˚ Tarot + a bit of Astrology
Disclaimer: This reading is based on my experience and knowledge of tarot, it is not meant to be the absolute truth, as BTS are real people, and tarot can only capture so much about multidimensional humans that have had past experiences and cultural approaches amongst other things, it does not have to resonate with you since this is in no way related to anyone reading it (unless you are a member of BTS in which case, get out of here lol ) This is just for entertainment purposes. Remember that tarot as a form of divination only allows us to read current energy and as time advances it becomes less accurate, so it basically reads up to a 6 months period of time
A/N: I swear I've been having the worst migraines these past few days but anyways, here's adding to the yoongi birthday project . I really liked this one.
masterlist. tarot masterlist. astrology masterlist.
There’s a lot to be said about Producer SUGA, if the way that half the deck keeps falling off is anything to go by. There are, however, two main points about him and his craft that link it all together. Anything and everything he works on, is sure to contain a piece of his mind and his heart in it.
Producing for Yoongi is an outlet first and foremost, it enables him to let go of the emotions that lure over him, a sort of escapism if you must. Which makes all the more sense given how he has segmented these sides of him, clearly apart from Min Yoongi via SUGA and AgustD, still acknowledging them as part that coexist yet with clear boundaries as to the function they serve (8oC) It is pretty clear to him that producing music comes from a place of sadness, yet it isn’t about emotional baggage or weeping loses but rather as a sign of how far he has come in terms of his mental health. A gentle reminder of how things can get better even if you don’t start off with the right choices, it’s all about accepting and moving on without forgetting but also without holding grudges (6oS) He’s also a bit too much aware that as a producer he can come off as intimidating – at least to some extent and to some people– and he’s fine )? With that. Not in an arrogant way but rather in a ‘look how far I’ve come and dwell on how you belittled me before’ type of way. The man is humble, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t acknowledge the way he’s got a ‘throne’ as a producer (KoS rx) , he knows he’s got a lot of deals, but he produces for himself first and foremost. He doesn’t plan on producing losing his innermost touch of the reason he does things, I keep thinking that perhaps he doesn’t quite accept for himself the effort and credit he actually does put out. When producing he does so himself, gets the credit and gets a sense of that’s what I wanted to do. If he co-produces, it doesn’t feel like he asks or cares for much credit in it (I keep thinking this man has a lot more produced songs under his name than the ones he lets the world know) (9oC)
When it comes to astrology, his Capricorn 10th House comes in to tell us something similar to his reading, his career (say: performer + producer) is a big part of his self identity. He likes to be in charge of what he does, which we’ve seen him do in terms of his personal projects, he likes being responsible of his own work, keeping it the way he likes best. His 2nd House in Taurus (surprise another Earth sign, I love this man) lets us see that he values the context he finds himself in in ways that are extraordinary, even more so as to translate them into his career, his works will always contain a bit of himself in them, the people around them, his experiences in life. The keyword to the way that he develops his work is strength. Whether it is by being resilient and being able to transform his past experiences into beautiful masterpieces, for holding onto his own personal values at work, it’s all there in his Leo 6th House.
Deck Used: Mystic Mondays

January 2021 Horoscopes
We closed 2020 with the Full Moon in Cancer on the 29th of December. That energy will carry over to this month, allowing 2021 to be a healing year for us. January sets the groundwork for the changes that will happen. Saturn and Jupiter are now in Aquarius, a change that shows that this will be a few years focused on the collective. This month begins with one of the biggest shifts and that is that Mars will finally be in an earth sign, Taurus after nearly six months in Aries. On the 6th Mars enters Taurus and will once again square Saturn but since these are different modalities, the impact will be different. Mars in Taurus likes to take its time, the moves are not as impulsive as Aries. This is a slow burn but when hot, you will need to run out of the kitchen. On the 8th, Mercury will be in Aquarius and Venus enters the sign of Capricorn our value system will be on the more practical side. We might be more inspired to save than to spend with Venus in this Earth sign. On the 13th, the New Moon in Capricorn has us changing our priorities to greater things. What we begin now will require a lot of hard work and dedication, but the payoff will be satisfying. The Sun enters Aquarius on the 19th and the month ends with a Full Moon in Leo on the 28th. The Fixed energy this month will be intense, and it is a breath of fresh air compared to the Cardinal stellium in 2020. Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.
Aries – New Year and you have the Two of Wands in your reading. This card is a powerful and inspiring lesson. This shows that chapters are closing, you are waiting for the new day and are ready to manifest change. You feel brave and are exploring potential options. Those hardships from the year before are coming to an end, especially with Mars moving out of Aries and into Taurus on January 6th. While Mercury enters Aquarius on the 8th, you are going to feel the need to reach out to your friends and associates to get you pumped up and motivated throughout the rest of the month. On the same day, Venus enters the sign of Capricorn, empowering you to further your goals and ambitions. You are going to feel a lot more confident in the spotlight now as you continue to make some great moves. It will be a good time to impress your bosses or professors. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th is a time where you will add onto the messages that this Venus transit has to offer. Another wonderful transit will be on the 28th, with the Full Moon in Leo making you feel a burst of confidence, drive, and passion. You are ready to throw yourself out there and are here to have some fun.
Taurus – One of the major events this month for you will be that Mars is finally moving in your sign after it is six month run in the sign of Aries. This is great for you because it will push you to be more goal oriented during the beginning of the year. As the King of Pentacles this month, you are starting things right by being levelheaded and extremely ambitious. When Mercury enters Aquarius on the 8th, this will have everyone take notice with what you have to say as well as your output at work. On the same day, Venus enters Capricorn, giving you the patience and grace to get what you want. This trine to your sign from Venus and Mars already in your sign will only add a double dose of motivation. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th, has you reaching towards the spiritual side of things or you might even contemplate planning a trip for the future (when traveling is safe again). Either way, this sparks a new journey in the works. The month closes with the Full Moon in Leo on the 28th, a good and pleasant transit that will have you focused on renovation or just relaxation from home.
Gemini – January is a month where you will see your faith in you grow. When Mercury enters the sign of Aquarius on the 8th, you are going to feel inspired to just dive into learning more. If you are in school, you might be contemplating many majors at once or just feeling more assured about declaring in a field. Venus will be entering the sign of Capricorn on the same day, a good transit that will allow you to evaluate your finances as well as find solutions to generate more growth. Any hurt you might feel will slowly heal with this transit as you gain strength from Venus. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th is a good way to focus on your own self-worth as well as your goals for the future.  When the Sun enters Aquarius on the 19th, you are going to be feeling more in sync with your thoughts and intellectual pursuits. Finally, the Full Moon in Leo on the 28th is a time where you are going to feel confidence as this transit will have you sharper and more spontaneous than usual. Justice is your card for the month. If you have been wronged, you will see things moving in your favor. Remember to be patient.
Cancer – Last month we experienced the Full Moon in your sign on the 29th. For the first two weeks of the New Year, you are going to be reflective and pensive. With the Five of Pentacles Reversed as your card for the month, this shows you are rising from a tough situation and finding your footing. This was an ego driven moon for you, as you noticed your needs and wants as well as the changes you need to make to flourish for this New Year. On the 6th, Mars will enter the sign of Taurus, changing your focus from work to friendships. This is a time where your circle will boost you to higher status. You will receive recognition and praise from bosses, teachers, or mentors thanks to Mars in Aries. Two planetary sign changes are happening on the 8th with Mercury entering Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn. Some more focus on love and relationships with these transits as you approach them with ease given that Venus is opposing your sign, boosting your confidence, which will have you be more vocal with what you want in romance. Another powerful transit for you this month will be the New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th is a time where you will continue some of the lessons from the Full Moon in Cancer.
Leo – Mars will be in the sign of Taurus on the 6th, a harsh transit for you since this will be squaring your sign. Remember to find the balance when things get stressful, so that Mars can work for you, not against you. This will be a beneficial transit for getting ahead and a reminder to keep powering through. Mercury will be in the sign of Aquarius on the 8th, making communication with business partners, friends, or romantic partners much easier. Venus will be in the sign of Capricorn on the 8th as well, creating a good routine for your road to the top. You are going to feel more inspired in school or at work, earning the trust of colleagues and creating a generally peaceful vibe. An epic moment for you will be towards the end of the month on the 28th when the Full Moon is in your sign. This will be a good time for you to congratulate yourself and think back on your accomplishments because what you started last year will finally begin to get the recognition it deserves. The Ace of Pentacles is your card for the month, a fresh start for this New Year and a good time to think about growth.
Virgo – For the beginning of 2021, you will be the Star, which is also your card for the month. A time to believe in yourself and capture the attention of others. This is the initiation of a good and joyful time if you are receptive to that energy. Mars will enter Taurus on the 6th, a powerful transit for Earth signs. Here you will be inspired to pursue as you have your sights on greater things for the next year. Whatever you work on now will flow easier. You will not receive as many blockages and may be more responsive to changes as well as upsets. Somehow you know you can make things work. On the 8th, Venus enters the sign of Capricorn, a lovely transit which will also give you a boost in romance and allow you to experience more fun with friends. While Saturn in Capricorn restricted your romantic prospects, love and romance will seem to flow easier for you this year. While Mercury moves to Aquarius on the same day, you are going to make changes to your day to day, focused on efficiency and productivity. This month will be filled with love and happiness for you, so enjoy it.
Libra – The Seven of Cups in your reading for the month is a reminder to be wary of the things happening around you. Not everything that looks good will be promising in the end, so analyze and weigh all your options before making any major decisions. The month begins with Mars entering the sign of Taurus on the 6th, a key time for you as you begin to evaluate your next moves for the year. You are going to be more willing to face anything that appears to be holding you back and might even find the strength needed to deal with challenges. On the 8th, Mercury will be in Aquarius, forming a trine to your sign. Flirty and rebellious will be the themes during this transit as you meet new people and charm your way into some romance. Venus enters Capricorn on the same day, another transit that will echo Saturn’s rule in Capricorn but with more manageability. You are going to be in peaceful mode with family and friends. Changes at home might be a thing but these will be due to aesthetics. Beauty will be on your mind during this transit and others will notice since you are going to radiate. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th will inspire you to beautify your surroundings and initiate changes for the next six months.
Scorpio – This month will impact your love life when Mars moves into Taurus on the 6th. You will see how you approach relationships and begin to see them transform. This transit is all about compromises and positive changes. Communication is key with these Mars transits in partnership houses, so make sure to listen. On the 8th, Mercury moves into Aquarius, adding some interesting dynamic to the home front. You are going to be more comfortable with your expression even if it might feel a little tense. Again, this is all about listening and making some compromises with friends and family, so keep that in mind. Preserve the peace and everyone will be happy. Venus will be in Capricorn on the 8th as well, making you more charming when it comes to your communication skills. You have everyone’s ear during this time, just make sure to listen to everyone else. With the New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th, this will be a good time to seek out friends and family, especially siblings and cousins through social media. The Full Moon in Leo on the 28th, will keep everyone focused on what you do. Impress those bosses and professors now to achieve success. Your card for the month is The Lovers, which is very fitting given the partnership themes. Remember to be there for your partner and to listen. If you are single now, someone might catch your eye and you could start a new relationship.
Sagittarius – As a fire sign, you are probably wishing for more inspiration this month, but it will be more rooted on practicality and patience. With the Five of Cups appearing in your reading, you need to lose the self-sabotaging thoughts and focus on what is ahead for you. See the positive and do not focus on the negative. Mars will no longer be in Aries, but it will enter the sign of Taurus on the 6th, moving your priorities from the imaginative to the pragmatic. You are getting things done now and must keep your eyes on the prize while you face the tasks ahead. Mercury will enter the sign of Aquarius on the 8th, a good time to focus on your planning as well as diving into learning things you have been interested in. Venus also enters Capricorn on the same day, a period where you will be diligent about growing finances as this transit makes you sensible about spending habits. A huge transit will be the Full Moon in Leo on the 28th which will give you the fire energy boost you are seeking. Leo adds a good ambitious dynamic to your busy bee self this month and most importantly, a confidence boost you will love.
Capricorn – We begin this month with a lot of planetary shifts that can be beneficial for you. Mars enters fellow earth sign Taurus on the 6th and this energy you will be welcoming since the harsh aspects Mars in Aries made to your sign might have left you exhausted from all the work you did in the last six months. This trine with Mars now will have you more flirtatious and willing to pursue romances. Sounds fun, right? On the 8th, Venus enters your sign, and you will be feeling yourself for the month’s transit. A lot of eyes will be on you as you get others to notice you with ease. More of that lovely attention will follow on the 13th of January when the New Moon will be in your sign. This is the perfect opportunity to start your year just right, setting those intentions and manifesting as you bring more of that self-love and care to you that you might have neglected last year. Either way, you are making others jealous or enamored with what you have to offer this month. Your card for the month is the Six of Cups, a sign that you are starting 2021 on the right foot, even if you are going to be feeling nostalgic for the past.
Aquarius – Lovely time for you with Saturn in Aquarius and now a few more planets will also be entering your sign this month. Mercury will be in Aquarius on the 8th, making you more sharp and feeling confident with your decision making. This Mercury transit also kicks of the first retrograde of the month, but that happens on the 30th. A memorable transit is Mars entering Taurus. This kicks off a time filled with ups and downs as this planet will be squaring off with Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury for the first half of the month. It will not be all bad since Mars will still have you motivated to succeed, even if it tries to slow you down. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th will bring you back to basics, opting for a more calming time so you can catch up and relax a bit before things get a little intense when the Sun enters your sign on the 19th. Mars will then cause some conflicts there too, but you are going to still radiate which is shown in your card for the month, The Sun Reversed. It is still a positive card; you just need to concentrate on the successes you achieve as well as boosting your self-esteem.
Pisces – An interesting time for you this month with the Three of Swords appearing in your reading. Do not worry, this is not bad but a sign you are going to be doing some great healing this month. This is a transitional period especially with Mars entering the sign of Taurus after six months of being in Aries. You now have the self-assurance to go and get what you want. Your words will hold some influence during this period, since you might feel inspired to write, draw or just create something else. Tapping into your creative side is going to be important now because this outlet will allow you to shine. Mercury enters the sign of Aquarius on the 8th and this is also an inspirational transit for you since you will be more focused on what your dreams have to offer, more fuel for your creative side. On the same day, Venus enters the sign of Capricorn and you will have a good support system cheering you on this month and making you feel special. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 13th allows you to set your sights onto greater things. Again, you can use your creative outlets to begin new projects and embark on new mediums of artistry.

- may 20 - moon enters virgo, opposing jupiter in pisces and forming a square to the sun in taurus
So what does this mean?
It starts out bright and energetic, a perfect environment to learn and to put into practice what we are learning. Emotionally, we may be feeling a little vulnerable and threatened, but this feeling won’t last; allow yourself to listen to this feeling, and you’ll be able to learn a little something about yourself too. Once this feeling fades, you may be feeling brighter, lighter and more optimistic about your life, and your loved ones too. Stay grounded, and stay true to your goals. Working hard is the theme of the first week, but remember to take care of yourself too. Before the full moon, we might be finding it hard to communicate effectively, and balance our own needs with other people’s.
The full moon in Scorpio will open us up to more intense connections, both with ourselves and others. We may find our emotions get in the way of being able to share honestly, and we might find it hard to judge situations accurately because of past issues that have been simmering beneath the surface while we get on with working on our external goals. Over the next few days we might be feeling restless and dissatisfied, with something within us calling out for a change of scenery. Even if there isn’t much you can do to change your situation right now, look to your long-term goals, and look at little things you can do to make a difference day-to-day. On the first of May, the Moon is opposite Mars, so we might be feeling more confrontational and ready to be more proactive about our situation.
After this, our emotions will be running high. We will be more receptive and aware of the spiritual world, and may be uncovering things we didn’t expect to about ourselves. Although this may not feel positive, it can be a catalyst for positive experiences. It’s important to remind ourselves of what our values are at this point, because we might be feeling lost and experiencing emotional whiplash at times, and it’s easy to react to what’s going on without really thinking or feeling your way through the situation. Taking the time and effort to be with yourself and listen can really pay off later on down the line. After coming out of this period, we might be feeling more talkative with Mercury now in lively Gemini, and more willing to share our ideas and insights too. When it comes to love, we might be conflicted, hesitant and even burned out. It’s okay to take a break from romance if you need one, and it’s okay to let yourself trust others too.
When the Moon enters Aries, we might find ourselves argumentative and frustrated. At least when it comes to love, we might be feeling a little more relaxed than we have done, and this can be a nice outlet for our strong emotions right now. We are sensitive and highly-strung until the Moon enters Taurus and we can relax again, feeling assertive but not confrontational, idealistic, perhaps a little worn out emotionally, and ready to have some fun with Venus now in Gemini. We might find ourselves wanting to let off steam and be a little impulsive. When the new moon in Taurus arrives, we can take a minute to sit down and take stock of everything that’s happened so far during this solar season, and figure out what we’d like to happen throughout the next month. We can finally start to reflect on the deeper moments throughout this month, what we can take with us and what we can let go of.
When the Moon enters Gemini, we can lighten the mood a little. With its conjunction to lovely Venus, we might be feeling like a little pampering session, spending some quality time with a friend, or taking some time for a short adventure. With Jupiter moving into Pisces too, and the Moon flitting from Venus to Mercury, things might be feeling a little “up in the air” and uncertain, leading to some anxiety and overwhelm. This is where it can be really helpful to take some time during the new moon to plan out the next few weeks; it can bring us back down to earth. A few days later, it’s time to cosy up a little bit more. We might be feeling more reserved, finding it difficult to speak our minds clearly, and just wanting some space to be by ourselves. At the same time, we are more inventive right now, so it would be a good idea to record any bright ideas you come by, and perhaps write down your dreams for future reference.
This feeling will last a little longer than perhaps is comfortable, but after a couple of days it will more illuminating than confusing, and we will move with the Moon into Leo knowing ourselves a little better than we did before. Speaking of, this transit will leave us feeling much more cheerful and hopeful than we have done in a while, and with its sextile to Venus in Gemini, we will be playful and ready to engage with other people again! The square it forms to Uranus might have us feeling a little impulsive and not all that loving at times, but it allows us to have some very interesting conversations with friends, and start working on the ideas that came to us recently. Soon afterwards, we will be feeling more communicative again, more open to learning, but perhaps stifled or restricted, either by external factors, or by a lack of confidence or energy to make that first big move. When the Moon enters Virgo, we may feel a bit better equipped for chipping away at our ideas, and the balancing act here will be not getting too carried away during the process. And with that, we’re into Gemini season!

June Magical Forecast
This Month has a lot of change up ahead. Usually mutable zodiac seasons bring energetic and physical change (as they are the ends of the seasonal seasons itself), yet with some stressful squares, a few more retrogrades and the Solar Eclipse coming up we are seeing some big changes coming into our lives whether we are ready or not. It’s a good time to really reflect on your inner world as the outer world changes around you and adapt by expanding your perspective and or changing your mindset. 
Week 1
1 - ☾♓ Sun conjunct North Node in Gemini Moon enters Pisces
June begins with a powerful transit to help you get on track. The Sun will conjunct the North Node in Gemini today revolving the themes of the day around aligning ourselves with our collective karmic path. This energy will help us to develop in the right direction and boost our charisma. We may feel a heightened sense of purpose today or additionally some real issues may come to the surface and we will be tasked to address them once and for all. This is a great time for working on our goals and reviewing our dreams and spiritual path, especially with the moon in Pisces. The moon will make the mood pretty spiritual and creative which may influence us to want to approach this transit from a more spiritual perspective.
Today would be a great day for some meditation, reflection, tarot and journaling. We are near the Last Quarter Moon so it would be a good time for us to review if we feel we are on the right path in our lives and how we can plan to re-align ourselves to reach our dreams! We are as well half way between the point of the Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse. This day may help us to break through any barriers and obstacles that were holding us back from our path and help us enter a new chapter in our lives.
2 - ☾♓ Last Quarter Moon Venus enters Cancer Sun in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries
As the moon makes it's final quarter mark, we enter a brief period of reflection regarding our inner progress so far. This energy may feel aligned with the Sun's previous conjunction with the North Node in Gemini and the themes of the lunar eclipse. What do we need to shed or break through in order to move on? Do we feel like we are making progress? Are we aligned on the right path? Additionally the Sun will make a positive sextile with Chiron in Aries which will create beneficial energy that will help us to focus on addressing past pains, healing and finding solutions. We will be in a position to want to make progress and heal.
Lastly this day will mark a new Venusian cycle full of tenderness and sensuality as Venus moves into sensitive Cancer. When it comes to our bonds and what we value we will feel more drawn by our emotions and how we feel held by others. Venus in cancer loves tenderness, warmth and emotional dedication. We may feel more emotional in our relationships during this time.
3 - ☾♈ Sun in Gemini trines Saturn rx in Aquarius Moon enters Aries
Today we will feel a positive aspect of this Saturn retrograde as the sun will make a lucky trine with the planet of hard work. This will be a beneficial day to work on anything you have put aside. With the moon in Aries we will feel a burst of energy that will help us to tackle down any challenges, obstacles and tasks still in our way. It's a great day to focus on your responsibilities and work but definitely in the areas of pending tasks that you still have yet to address.
4 - ☾♈ Balsamic Moon | Moon Trine Sun Venus in Cancer trines Jupiter in Pisces
When the moon trines the sun it is a good time to focus on any unfinished business and wrap it up. You will get a boost of energy today with this lucky transit. Additionally with mercury in retrograde it may bring up any unfinished business or projects we let fall off the wayside. The Balsamic Moon phase is a great time for cleansing and shedding especially before the solar eclipse coming up. Usually this is a good time to tidy your space a little and get rid of things you no longer need, however the solar eclipse is a period of shedding, death, transformation and rebirth and along with mercury retrograde in Gemini and Saturn retrograde in Aquarius really think about what is no longer working out for you or social contacts that are not for your best interests to start waning from. This is also a good time to reflect on your inner world and any mentalities that are no longer serving you.
Another positive transit in Venus in Cancer trining Jupiter in Pisces. There is a lot of luck today with positivity, love, relationships and finances. This is an excellent day for socialization or abundance spells.
5 - ☾♈ Mercury rx in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto rx in Capricorn
Today's transits may create some challenges. With Mercury rx in a square with Neptune this could cause confusion and deception with people in our social circles. Beware of scammers and beware of manipulative people sneaking back into your life. There could also be potential conflicts arising with Mars opposite Pluto rx. This opposition can create power struggles that  can illuminate inner insecurities.
It's a good day to be self aware of your feelings but have good boundaries and shielding from others. With Mercury in retrograde and the moon in fiery Aries, be very careful on how you communicate and try to be gentle with others.
---------------
Week 2
6 - ☾♉ Moon enters Taurus
Today the moon is in Taurus! It's a great day for rest, earth magic, gardening, kitchen magic and tending to yourself.
7 - ☾♉
There are no other notable transits other than the moon in Taurus today. It's a good time for rest.
8 - ☾♊ Moon enters Gemini
The moon is not quiet yet in it's New Moon transit. However we will feel the energy heighten around today. It's a good day to start any New Moon rituals you enjoy doing from cleansing your space, resetting wards, cleansing yourself and thinking of new personal intentions to set for the lunar cycle. In general when the moon is in Gemini, it's a great day for learning, reading, socializing and air and music based magic.
9 - ☾♊
There are no other notable transits today other than the moon in Gemini. This is a good day to read, socialize, learn and reflect on your inner mental landscape and social circles.
10 - ☾♊ New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini
Today will be a whole new chapter! This New Moon will feel like a super new moon as we will experience a Solar Eclipse. Eclipses are karmic events which helps to align us to our best paths and Solar Eclipses takes this energy within. This event is all about death, transformation and rebirth on an internal scale and with the energy in Gemini we will see our mindsets and mental landscapes shift as old beliefs give away into new ones. This is a new chapter for the collective mental landscape. We may get rid of old beliefs on a societal level and give room for new ideas to take place. With Mercury rx in Gemini we will have had a lot of thought focused on mentalities or social interactions that are not working and how to potentially change. This may be realized on a larger scale due to this astronomical event.
On a personal level this Eclipse is best for meditation, setting intentions for applying personal change and reflecting on your mentality and new ways of self expression.
11 - ☾♋ Sun conjunct Mercury rx in Gemini Mars enters Leo Moon enters Cancer
Though the energies will still feel intense and we may want to bolt off in a certain direction with the new lunar cycle, this day is a good day for more rest and reflection. The Sun will conjunct Mercury rx today amplifying the lessons and themes of this transit. We will definitely pay attention to our mental landscape, our social circles, our mentalities and ideas at this time. With the moon entering Cancer the energy will feel more reclusive and internalized as we add our emotions and personal realms into the mix.
However one ingression that will add a fiery nature to the day and the next 6 weeks is Mars entering Leo. Our drive and passions will be amplified and this may affect our goals as they become more grandiose and our endeavors more dramatic. When Mars is in Leo we feel more proud, egotistical, self-confident and spirited. This energy will definitely bring about Hot Girl Summer as this amplifies the collective sex drive and the passion for life is high!
12 - ☾♋ Venus in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries
If anything this Gemini season forces us to look at our social circle and close relationships, it will be Venus in the roughest square with Chiron in Aries. Everything about this seems so unpleasant. Sensitive Venus in Cancer that just wants to be loved and acknowledged will be in the most tense aspect with the planet of pain, trauma and healing in aggressive Aries making some of us with unhealed wounds feel left out, uncared for and in worst case scenarios abandoned. FOMO can feel like betrayal. If we feel unfulfilled in any relationship it can feel like a stab to the heart. Squares do want us to self reflect so if you are feeling unloved it may be time for some shadow work. See if it is truly the people you are around that aren't good for you or if you are projecting some unhealed trauma. Be gentle with yourself and others today. Do NOT do anything rash or communicate raw feelings without self reflection. As Mercury is still in retrograde it can cause unnecessary conflict and with Mars now in dramatic Leo it can lead to a battle of egos. Shadow work can really help today and remember- this transit only lasts 1 day.
---------------
Week 3
13 - ☾♌ Venus in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus Moon enters Leo
Venus here is helping us to get over our broken hearts by bringing in new inspiring energy with it's sextile in Uranus! Venus Sextile Uranus is an aspect when the planet of love, pleasure and relationships wants to work with the planet of progression, evolution, surprises and excitement. It's time to make new acquaintances! It's time to try out new pleasureful experiences! It could even be time to make new friends and lovers! This energy is a bit like speed dating where you can meet a lot of incredible, eccentric and interesting people, but it's up to you to hang on that connection and really make it work for the long term as Uranus is very flighty and noncommittal. However this transit is ideal for experimentation and hook ups. It is also great for new friendly acquaintances that can become long term friends, but in the vibe that you would meet someone compelling at an event; they will completely fade from existence in your reality, and by chance after mercury rx you will find them again completely by surprise to forge a friendship.
With the moon entering Leo we will feel more daring as the moon aligns with Mars. It's a good time for risk taking, tapping into your courage and going out in the world to try something new. Venus Sextile Uranus is great with new experiences that you always wanted to try but put off.
14 - ☾♌ Saturn rx in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus Sun in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces
This day brings squares to mark an era of our history. With Saturn in a square with Uranus we are going to undergo changes in society that can feel restrictive or hard for us to find any form of freedom or progression. It will feel like a tense battle between the old world and repressive mindsets that seek to control us and the new world and the progression we wish to undergo. This pressure cooker of a square will last for a while as both planets are slow moving. Since they are outer planets we will see this affect on a macrocosmic scale. This may cause uprisings and protests to be met with more aggression from the state. It can cause unwanted change on a personal level that can be difficult to get out of and can cause a lot of restriction and pain. The best way to deal with this is just to surrender for the moment. Right now shit is hitting the fan and there is little that we can do but with all squares they just want us to self reflect instead of acting on impulse. This will make us collectively seek freedom from a repressive system and find ways to undo it.
With the Sun in a square with Neptune we may feel easily deceived, paranoid and disillusioned with the state of things. This square can bring deceptive people your way so be careful. The best way to ride out this day is to find healthy escapism through art or spirituality. Aiming to reconnect with your spiritual roots and magical path can give you hope for the future.
15 - ☾♌ Waxing Crescent | Sun Sextile Moon
When the Sun sextiles the moon it's a good time for reflecting on your new moon intentions and applying them in your life. Take this as a first step/attempt or experimentation towards the direction you want. What did you visualize during the New moon in Gemini? How can you work on expressing that in your day to day life? It's a great time for learning and figuring out what you like and what you would like to explore in this field before the lunar phase enters it's first quarter moon.
In general this energy is great for getting any sort of work done. With the Sun in a sextile with the moon we will feel a burst of energy as the inner and outer worlds want to work together. This is an opportunity to just get anything you like done as you will feel a more ease of flow on this day.
16 - ☾♍ Moon enters Virgo
Today the moon enters Virgo. When the moon is in Virgo it's a good day to review any ongoing issues in your life and aim to address and solve them. It's a good day to get organized and prioritize any pending tasks. It's also a good day for healing magic, road opening or barrier breaking, taking care of your health and self care. The moon is not at it's First Quarter transit yet, however we may start to notice the energy shift. The First Quarter moon is all about reflection, strategizing and taking on challenges, and with this energy in Virgo it's time for us to strategize through getting organized.
17 - ☾♍
There are no other notable transits today other than the moon in Virgo. It's a good day to rest and get organized.
18 - ☾♎ First Quarter Moon in Virgo Moon enters Libra
Today the Moon reaches it's First Quarter transit in Virgo before it transits into Libra. When it's the first quarter moon it's a good time to reflect on the New Moon, especially the Solar Eclipse, our internal changes, our current path and how we are taking on any challenges in our way. If we are finding any challenges it's good to use the Moon's analytical nature in Virgo to observe and understand them, then strategize on how to take them on. Today is a great day for magic to break through barriers, eliminate obstacles and or attract new opportunities. It's also a good lunar phase for divination to reflect on our next steps and figure out what we must do in order to make progress.
19 - ☾♎
There are no other notable transits today other than the moon in Libra. When the moon is in Libra it's a good day for attraction magic, peace spells, glamour magic and sending blessings to loved ones.
--------------- 20 - ☾♏ Jupiter enters Retrograde -until October 18th
Jupiter is checking out today on it's Summer Vacation as it enters retrograde. When Jupiter goes into retrograde it asks us to expand within and reconnect with the truth, our truth and our authenticity. It may be rough on our finances and social lives but great for our personal development, spiritual and philosophical beliefs and our independence. With Jupiter retrograding in Pisces our sense of spirituality and the truth around it is being questioned. In only 5 days time, Neptune will join the planets in retrograde so we will have to reflect on our true connection to our spiritual and magical nature. What does spirituality and magic mean for us? What ideologies and spiritual beliefs could potentially be deluding us from the truth? The time to reflect is now!
21 - ☾♏ Summer Solstice (Litha) ☀️ Sun enters Cancer Venus in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces Waxing Gibbous | Sun trine Moon
One of the dreamiest times of the year begins with The Summer Solstice marking the start of Cancer season! This Summer Solstice celebration will feel extra dreamy with Venus in a beautiful trine with Neptune bringing about more creativity, spirituality, magic, pleasure, whimsy and enchantment to this fiery, bright and energetic day. Additionally the Sun and Moon in mysterious Scorpio will form another lucky beneficial trine which will add a boost of luck and great spirits to the day. Summer Solstice is a great time to cast spells, make wishes, do magic (esp if you are in a safe space for it- then Fire Magic!) for self empowerment and the planets are aligned for a great and incredibly magical time. Whether you have a group of magical friends or not it's a great day for an excursion outdoors whether that be by your local park, a nature reserve or the beach and just cast spells during the high sun. It's a good day to charge any magical items that could benefit from the solar energy and use the solar fiery creativity to channel into art and pleasure.
22 - ☾♐ Mercury stations Direct Moon enters Sagittarius
Mercury is out of retrograde! It may still be in it's shadow period so it's a good time to reflect on the lessons learned and see how to integrate them into your life as we move forward. Do you feel like you have better clarity on some old beliefs? Do you feel you are surrounded by the right people that want to support and uplift you? Especially after the eclipse and squares we might have experienced some major changes by now, but when planets exit retrograde it's a time for clarity and heightened perspectives as we get to integrate the lessons.
23 - ☾♐ Sun in Cancer trines Jupiter rx in Pisces
MARK THIS DAY ON YOUR CALENDARS!! Even with Jupiter in retrograde it will be a very lucky day. With the Sun in a beneficial trine with Jupiter rx we may feel a boost in optimism, luck and abundance coming our way. With the retrograde in affect this can cause us to come across events that can help us to expand within, create life changing epiphanies or bring in opportunities and abundances from old connections that could spring back into our lives at the knick of time.
It's a great day for abundance and wealth magic, meditation to reflect on yourself, magic to break through obstacles or attraction magic of any kind. The Jovial nature of the day will feel amplified by the moon in Sagittarius making us feel generous and positive.
24 - ☾♑ Full Moon in Capricorn  Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto rx in Capricorn Saturn rx in Aquarius trines Chiron in Aries
The energy surrounding this full moon may feel confrontational yet cathartic. The Full Moon in Capricorn within the context of Cancer season is all about addressing our comfort zones vs ambitions, our career vs home life and how we take responsibilities for our emotions. Within the context of the current cycles we are at and being the height of the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini's cycle, it's about the intentions we've set, if we have met them yet and how we can work on transforming ourselves to meet those standards. With Saturn in retrograde trining Chiron we may find ways to reflect upon our sense of self discipline and how we can find solutions to committing to our responsibilities or set tasks. This energy can help us find solutions and come to peace with certain restrictive elements in lives and find balance. With Venus opposite Pluto rx things may get more intense. We may be more aware of the distance from the things we desire and our lack of power over it. In relationships there could be elements of power struggles that come up and in general, obsessions and compulsive attractions can bring out the worst from our subconscious. The Full Moon in Capricorn is going to illuminate these themes and ask that you confront them responsibly. We cannot move forward in the watery emotional cancer season without filtering addressing deeper issues at our core. Other than reflecting on the new moon eclipses energy and releasing spells, today is a great day for shadow work and sorting out your inner world.
25 - ☾♑ Neptune enters Retrograde -Until December 1st
Neptune joins the retrograding planets today until nearly the end of this year. With Neptune in Retrograde we are asked to self reflect on our spirituality, source of creativity, empathy (or lack thereof for some people) and magical practice. If you feel like you've strayed away from your magical path, this is a time to reflect on why. Magic may feel less flourished at this time and more practical and day to day. Those that may only see magic as something ritualistic or performative may become disillusioned with their path. This is also a great time to reflect on your spiritual life and any delusional ideas or beliefs that are not healthy.
When Neptune goes into retrograde the rosy tinted glasses get ripped off and we can realize how some ideas have left us duped the whole time. It's time to face reality. What idealistic ideas have you held on to that you are realizing are simply untrue? How can you process your beliefs in a more practical way without the flourish or any negative ideas attached to it?
After the full moon in Capricorn we may feel like our responsibilities towards managing our emotions and personal worlds carry on with the way we address our own and others feelings and how we hold on to certain beliefs out of idealism and not reality. If you are on the right path you may feel that your spiritual life in this time becomes more practical and Zen. If you do have beliefs that are not serving you, you may come across an awakening or change or path.
26 - ☾♒ Moon enters Aquarius
The moon enters Aquarius today! When the moon is in Aquarius it's a good time for trying new things, expanding your perspective, tech magic, weather magic, community service and honoring your uniqueness. --------------- 27 - ☾♒ Venus enters Leo
Venus joins Mars in passionate Leo today! When Venus is in Leo, love and relationships feels magnificent and grand!! We take pride in love, our friendships and loving connections and we are generous with our money as well. Romance feels alive and well and with both Mars and Venus in the same sign we will feel passions rise. Venus in leo loves to be adored and this cycle may bring about extravagance, dramatic social events and more parties. However beware of FOMO and overspending during this time especially with Jupiter in retrograde.
28 - ☾♓ Moon enters Pisces
The Moon enters Pisces today! When the moon is in Pisces it's a good time for magic, spiritual reflection, practicing art, art based magic, water based magic, divination and dream oracling.
29 - ☾♓ Disseminating Moon | Moon Trine Sun
When the moon trines the sun it's a beneficial transit that gives us another chance to go after what we want. Usually if we were working hard before, this is the transit that brings us rewards for what we have reaped. Otherwise it's a great time to work some more towards wrapping up that task. In general this transit makes us feel more generous, social and harmonious. If you feel that you are on a good path, it's a good time to be grateful and celebrate in little ways.
30 - ☾♓
There are no other notable transits today other than the moon in Pisces. It's a good day for rest.

Hello! Another new anonymous commission! This is a continuation of THIS STORY and follows the later half of Leo’s hyperpregnancy!  Contains hyperpregnancy, tmpreg, some more weight gain and lactation, belly worship, allusions to sex, and general soft lovey dovey content. Enjoy!
“Are you sure you don’t need help carrying anything?” asked Leo, his massive belly swaying left and right as we waddled next to his husband, Marko. Leo was wearing floral swim trunks, and his more than ample chest was covered by a large, stretched tank top, but it did nothing to shield his pale, pregnant belly form the sun. Marko’s arms were full of beach towels, a heavy picnic basket, a bucket of bulk-order sunscreen, and two folding chairs for the pair. He stared at Leo’s belly, then into Leo’s eyes, before shaking his head and smiling. “I love you hon but you’re carrying enough,” he said. Leo realized his hands were all but glued to the sides of his tummy to steady his gait, and he realized that, yes, 24 babies was probably enough for one man to carry. Or is it? He thought to himself.
Leo had maintained mobility for a little longer than expected, so the two set out for one final non-stay-home-and-eat date together, at a nearby beach just an hour away. The stretch of sand was largely unpopulated, save for some squawking seagulls, so the couple had the privacy they needed to just… be. Granted, Leo had grown more accustomed to being the center of attention, and in a weird way was starting to enjoy it, but there was still something serene about being alone with his doting husband.
Marko checked his watch, and looked around the beach before setting the chairs down in the sand. “Tide’s coming in… and if my information is correct, in a couple hours, the water well flow right up across your lower tummy, and run over your feet. From here, you can experience the ocean without having to get up!” he said, unfolding one chair behind Leo, letting him take a seat. Leo’s considerably widened hips and butt filled the chair, creating audible creaks as it supported his pregnancy weight.
Marko laid out a towel on the sand before plopping the rest of the supplies on it. There was a nice breeze, carrying the cool ocean mist up to the pair without being obnoxiously strong. “You hungry babe?” asked Marko. Leo nodded eagerly, prompting his husband to pull a very stacked sandwich out of the basket. “I’ll get to work on your sunscreen while you eat that,” he said, kissing Leo on the top of his head, making the pregnant man blush.
He popped open the bucket of sunscreen while Leo tore into the sub, taking in the cacophony of flavors. Marko all but dunked his hands into the sunscreen, getting a good thick coating on both hands, before moving over and placing them on the front of Leo’s tummy. He shivered a little at the sudden application of cold lotion to his bare skin. Marko moved his hands in large, sweeping circles, applying a coating of sunscreen to Leo’s expanse of gravid skin. He leaned forward and placed a quick , loving kiss on the front, before covering that spot with more sunscreen. 
“You love doing that, don’t you?” Leo asked between bites. “What, putting sunscreen on you? I guess?” said Marko confusedly. Leo chuckled, causing his belly to jiggle slightly. “No… well… yes obviously you love doing that, but… kissing my belly. You do it all the time,” he commented. Marko, blushed, but Leo couldn’t see it past his expansive midriff. “I mean… it’s like kissing you and our kids at the same time? I just… I have a lot of love to give you guys,” he replied. Leo beamed, his husband was such a softie. “Honey you DON’T have to explain yourself I love it when you do that! I was just pointing it out,” he said. The chair creaked again as he continued his sandwich. .
Marko moved onto the left flank of Leo’s tummy, blushing more intensely. Leo smirked, “I think the babies love it too,” Marko’s heart fluttered. “Really?” he asked. Leo nodded, “kiss me and feel how much they kick!” he teased, though Marko didn’t need to be told twice. He laid a deep, tender smooch on the side of Leo’s 13 month pregnant tummy, and felt it up with his hands. A flurry of kicks and shifts from inside confirmed what Leo said. If Leo thought Marko kissed his belly a lot before, he had no idea what was to come. Marko got back to work putting on the sunscreen, but would pepper a patch of skin with kisses before running his hands over them. Leo gleefully enjoyed the worship as he continued demolishing his sub. Right as he was about halfway through it…
Creeeaaaakkkk… the bolts holding his chair together snapped under his weight, and he plopped onto the ground with a THUD. Marko looked at him, shocked, and asked “Oh my god are you okay? Are you hurt? Are the babies okay?” Leo assessed himself. The surprise was the worst part. His belly simply shifted slightly, and his marshmallowy ass softened the landing, though his brood of 24 was completely riled up inside, causing visible movement. “Yeah I’m okay! I just…” he looked at his dropped food on the ground, now covered in sand. “Aw, I was going to finish that…” he lamented. Marko raised an eyebrow, “so, you’re okay?” he asked. Leo nodded, staring at his lost meal. “Yeah, I’m just down like… half a sandwich,” he brushed his fluffy frown hair out of his face and winced, a slight ache from his landing starting to manifest. Marko sighed and smiled, “Well I packed like… four of those subs, hon. There’s plenty more,” 
Leo gasped, if he could physically have hearts for eyes, he would. “You know how to treat a guy!” he puckered his lips, prompting Marko to lean over and kiss him. He chuckled, “you might be good at tummy kisses, but THOSE are my favorite,” he said before returning to eating, now planted firmly on the ground, legs spread to make room for his gargantuan tummy. Marko simply smiled before returning to work, getting back to spreading the UV protecting lotion over his husband’s pregnant body.
Fast forward a couple of hours, and not only had Leo’s belly been thoroughly coated in sunscreen, and thoroughly filled with food, but he’d been thoroughly peppered in kisses and thoroughly complimented by his husband. It was a good day. Marko had enjoyed his half of the date too. Feeding, kissing, and otherwise pampering Leo was what he lived for, and doing it on the beach with sand under his feet and the waves splashing nearby just set the whole mood for him. He sat on the ground next to Leo, discussing life, love, and baby names, and generally having a lovely time.
“eeEEEP!” eeped Leo. “What’s wrong?” asked Marko, nearly jumping to his feet. “The cold water just touched my tummy, the tide has really rolled in,” said Leo. “I really wasn’t expecting it,” another wave washed up and lightly coated the front lower end of Leo’s tum in cold, briney seawater. “You wanna get up? We’ve been here for quite a while,” Leo nodded, “We’re out of food, I’m getting cold form the seawater, and frankly my pregnant ass could use a nap,” he said. Marko chuckled, taking Leo’s hands and using his considerable upper body strength to help him to his feet.
Leo’s belly rolled forward, shifting as he stood. His brood of two dozen riled up inside, and his hands shot to his belly. Marko knew what to do and started running his hands over the expanses of belly that Leo couldn’t reach, soothing their babies. After a moment, Marko gathered up their supplies while Leo began the considerable task of rotating his entire body 180 degrees. The two began the slow trek back to their vehicle, satisfied with the outing. It would be their last for a long, long while.
6 months later
“Don’t get your hopes up, it’s been a couple years since I’ve done this and I’m out of practice,” said Marko, looking over his selection of brushes. Leo lat in his custom hyper-pregnancy recliner, designed to support his increased weight and girth, his shirt rolled up as he pumped. “Yeah and I’ve seen what you’ve done before hon, my hopes are SKY HIGH knowing you,” Leo said with a bubbly smile. Marko chuckled, “I’ve also never had this sort of canvas before,” Leo laughed giddily, “It’s a canvas that’s required the cooperation of 38 people to make, 39 if you count me!”
Marko stood up, having to stand on his tiptoes to peer over Leo’s belly and H cup breasts. “I think you’re forgetting who put those 38 in there!” he teased. Leo blushed, switching bottles to store more milk. As he’d grown ever more pregnant, pushing past the duration of a normal pregnancy, his milk had come in in spades to feed their growing brood, so the poor pregnant man had to pump regularly, or risk leaking on his rather expensive maternity tops.
Marko grabbed a large, wide brush, and squeezed a heap of white paint onto his palette, with so much area to cover, this piece was going to need a LOT of paint if he hoped to really utilize his canvas. He dipped his brush in the paint, and began applying it to the front of Leo’s pregnant belly. Leo squirmed and giggled, his sensitive skin tickled by the wet bristles. His giggling picking up as the brush ran over his hypersensitive bellybutton, causing Marko to grin. “This is going to be a long process if you’re that ticklish,” he chuckled. He got down on his knees and continued painting the base layer down to some of the power front of Leo’s titanic tummy.
Leo contained himself, “You get pregnant and let me paint YOUR tummy and then you tell me I’m being too ticklish! That skin is sensitive!” he teased. Marko shook his head with a smirk, “Imagine me being pregnant…” he paused. Imagine… “You’d look cute with a bump,” complimented Leo. He turned off his pumps and took them off, though his breasts still leaked slightly. He set the milk aside and pulled his shirt down, covering his chest.
Marko switched paints to a light blue to start on a sky line, wanting to do a forest panorama, thinking about the prospect. “Preggo marko… I mean I’d look cute as fuck but I’d miss my figure,” Leo snorted, “But you’d have a new figure! Round, like me!” Marko considered waddling around, looking like his husband. It was only a hypothetical concept, but not an unwelcome one. He looked up to see his husband’s shirt growing damp. “Uh, honey…” Leo looked down at himself, “Aw shit!” he quickly yanked up his top and put his pumps back on, trying to contain the mess. Marko got back to painting, he had a lot of belly ahead of him…
As time pressed on, Leo’s bottles of milk continued to fill, and his belly continued to be covered in paint. Marko was an impressive artist, and his practice allowed him to work relatively fast. Still, with so much midriff to cover, it took a good few hours to do. Front and center of the tummy pictured a large, sprawling lake, framed by tall pine trees, with snowy mountains looming in the background. Mossy rocks peppered the foreground, and cute, brightly colored birds were lovingly left in trees. The whole scene was based off of a place Marko had gone to with his family, camping in washington state. The cool taiga campground had always stuck with him, and now it was brought home, plastered across his husband’s massive belly of all places.
Leo had fallen sleep, relaxed from the subtle sensations of marko’s brush along his tightly stretched belly. He’d sat still for hours for this, and just languished in becoming a work of art. It was his idea, to have his tummy painted, and while he’d snoozed through half of it, the whole thing had been a fun experiment. At least now he could say he’d been part of a body art piece! 
He woke to the sharp hiss of his husband swearing. Not loudly, but with passion. “Mmmmh, what’s wrong?” he asked, rubbing his eyes. Marko chuckled, “I was putting the finishing touches on this stump, and one of our kids kicked my brush, so now there’s a big brown blotch on it. That’s how it is when your canvas is alive I guess,” he shrugged, getting back to painting. Leo giggled to himself, “You could call it a happy little accident?” he snickered. Marko smiled and rolled his eyes sarcastically, “What? The paint blotch, or the kid who caused it?” he asked. “The blotch you goof! Only the first kid was an accident and the odds of THAT ONE kicking there are pretty slim!”
With one last stroke, he was done. He stood up and surveyed his work, the massive painting spanning the front hemisphere of Leo’s 38-full pregnant tummy. It was sprawling, and detailed, and beautiful, and he was quite pleased with it. “Man, I really did miss painting,” he said, mostly to himself. “Such a shame it’s all gonna get washed off here soon,” Leo pursed his lips in thought, “Maybe it’s an exercise in impermanence? Like… some bhuddist shit?”
Marko smiled, “Gimmie your phone, you goof. It has a better camera, and I want you to see this!” Leo smirked, and held out a small tube, produced from the table next to him. “You gotta sign your work first, silly!” Marko squinted at the tube, too short and wide to be a pen. “Is that… lipstick?” he asked. Leo nodded. “Sign it with a kiss! Like a love letter! Except that love letter is me!” Marko blushed, and sighed, and relented. “God you’re gay,” he chuckled. Leo cocked his head to the side and smiled, “For you,”
Marko blushed harder, and wordlessly navigated to the lower right corner of his masterpiece. He put on the lipstick, then got down on his hands and knees, leaned forward, and placed a deep, loving kiss on Leo’s belly, leaving a perfect smooch mark. Now it was Leo’s turn to blush. Marko got back up, and made bedroom eyes at his husband. “I have an idea of how we could kill our evening,” he said. Leo blushed harder now, “do tell?” he squeaked in anticipation. “I could kiss you until all of this lipstick wears off, then help you to the shower and wash all this paint off… then I could…” Leo beamed, “You could make me MORE pregnant!?” Marko bit his lip and ran his hand through his black undercut. “If you’d like to?” “I would LOVE to!” 
...And so they did.
5 months later
“Well, you’ve exceeded my expectations in quantity, but everyone in there is healthy as can be!” said Leo’s midwife, as she slowly ran the ultrasound wand over his expansive belly. Marko sat next to Leo, holding his hand tenderly. “I’m proud of my big man, he’s kept everyone so safe and healthy for two years at this point,” Leo squeezed his hand in response to the praise. The midwife’s eyes grew large. “You’re two years pregnant?” she asked. Leo nodded, “24 months today!” he chirped. The midwife nodded, “Explains why everyone is so big and strong...” she trailed off. “How many is ‘everyone’ by now?” Leo asked. The midwife stayed silent for a spell before answering. “I’ve been trying to figure that out… there are so many heartbeats my equipment cant differentiate between them all… my midrange estimation is… probably 50,” she finally landed. “Fifty!?” Marko and Leo exclaimed in unison. The medical professional nodded, “that’s not an exact number, but… there’s at least 48 guaranteed in there, and judging by the volume of the measurements I took, you have enough volume in your frankly amazing womb for 52, so I’d average it at 50,” she pulled back the wand and turned off her portable doppler.
Marko’s eyes sparkled at the news. How he’d managed to put fifty babies into his husband. Leo held his K cup tits in his hands, and for the first time wondered if he’d be able to feed them all. The midwife’s watch beeped and she hissed, “This is so unprofessional, but, Marko, can I leave the wiping off of ultrasound jelly to you? I have another appointment that I’m already late for!” she said. Marko nodded eagerly, “Sure thing Miss Thorne! I’ll take care of it!” Miss Thorne nodded and closed up her equipment. She walked around Leo’s belly and shook his hand. “If anything changes, you have my number. Just… please don’t call past 2 am,” she sighed. Leo gently met her handshake and smiled, “Wouldn’t dream of it,” Miss Thorne nodded again and turned to leave, “Duty calls gentlemen, take care!” she said before closing the door behind her.
Marko leaned in and kissed Leo with reinvigorated passion. “Babe, we’re gonna be the dads of 50 babies!” he placed his hand on Leo’s tummy, feeling the near rock-hard firmness of it. “And I’ll be able to walk again!” said Leo, who had been too big to pass through standard doorways for the last 9 months. Marko stepped back and surveyed Leo, really taking in his size. The oblong mass of Leo’s tummy was, at this point, the tallest part of him, and the widest by a huge margin. He’d been well and truly immobile for a while now, the weight of his womb passing 450 lbs. It wasn’t all baby and amniotic fluid either, he’d put on a fair bit of baby weight thanks to his increased appetite.
He had subtle rolls on the side of his torso, and his hips had widened substantially to make room for his brood to pass through, though they were wrapped in their own lovely layer of pudge. His butt and thighs themselves were visibly wider, and even his arms were softer to the touch. His breasts were, in all honesty, enormous in their own right, each one comparable to a pregnant belly itself, but despite this, nothing drew peoples attention, and Marko’s attraction, more than that planetary belly. 
Hard to the touch, smooth, pale, shiny, and well and truly massive, Marko had compared it in his own mind to a small car. He definitely would fit inside with room to move around, that’s for sure. Marko USED to be the taller of the two, but with Leo’s belly bloated with presumably 50 babies, maybe more, he’d overtaken Marko’s height in a rather unorthodox way. The room was as dominated by midriff as Leos’ own body, and the pair had joked that they’d have to start knocking down walls if he got any more pregnant.
Marko grabbed a nearby towel and started working to wipe off the ample ultrasound jelly left on Leo’s exposed skin. He moved slowly and methodically, enjoying the belly while he could. He knew that the time would soon come for Leo to deliver, and their place would be bustling with newborns and nannies. He was excited to be a dad soon, but he would miss this. He felt Leo’s skin tense, and heard the poor man grunt in discomfort, and realized that maybe that time would come sooner than later.
“Should I call the doctor?” Marko asked, peeking around Leo’s gravidity to see him silently nodding. Leo’s contractions had been ever so slowly manifesting, and with his body readying itself for childbirth, the two knew it’d be best to have professionals on call sooner than later. Marko gently patted the side of Leo’s tightening belly, and pulled out his phone. It seems after two years, the time had come.
Three weeks later
Leo and Marko’s household had indeed become a bustling scene. After a successful, if very long, birthing process, they had welcomed all 50 healthy children into the world, 31 girls and 19 boys. Among the sea of singletons was three sets of identical twins, a set of triplets, and even a set of identical quadruplet boys. “They’re going to be a troublesome crew when they’re older,” Marko had joked. They took turns between sleeping, feeding, changing, and playing with their kids, making sure to spend time with all of them. Thankfully Leo’s body kept milk production to its max, so everyone stayed fed, but it took a crew of almost 20 nannies around the clock to keep everyone happy.
Still, the pair sat together, Leo breastfeeding and Marko bottle feeding two at a time each, falling into a rhythm of sorts. “Hey honey?” asked Marko. “Hmm?” replied Leo, a pair of three week old girls in his arms. “I’m proud of you,” Leo smiled, looking at his husband. “You helped me through it, it was a team effort,” he said. The couple sat in companionable silence, taking time to revel in how cute their kids were. Marko chuckled, “what?” asked Leo. Marko shook his head, “It’s stupid but… I’m just curious…” he paused. “Would you ever want to do this again?”

Raphael x Fem!Reader
Reader is April's little sister and meets the turtles through her. I changed the ages and timeline a bit just because I don't feel entirely comfortable writing the turtles as 15 year old kids. SO the turtles are 18 the reader is 17 nearing 18 and april is 27.
Warnings: some mention of parent death, but nothing else!
Part 1/ ??
Im still pretty new at writing fanfic and have only done a few and this is my very first tmnt one. Constructive criticism and nice things only please!
I didn't remember my dad. My mother gave birth to me a month before his death. I didn’t remember him but my big sister April did. She told me everything she could about him, all kinds of stories and old home videos. It's almost like I know him but I don’t. Sometimes it's sad and I wish for nothing more than to have some memories with him, but I’ve had a good life and have a great family. I’ve lived with my sister since our mom passed 2 years ago from cancer. I miss her a lot, but I like living with April and I love our apartment.
We both have a deep love for media. She is a reporter with Channel 6 and I started making youtube videos right around the time mom died. It was like a video diary back then and has since turned into something completely different, though there are the occasional personal diary type videos.
I was wearing my favorite oversized sweater. It was a deep forest green and nearly reached my knees. It was worn and a bit tattered in some places, but it was the coziest thing ever.. I was barefoot in the kitchen listening to April talking about the latest Foot Clan activity and thinking about the questions she was planning for some guy who worked on the docks. She had convinced her camera guy Vern to take her over there before they shot her morning segment.
“You’re gonna be late!” I called into the living room while putting some breakfastt in a container for her to take on the road.
“Thank you shorty,” She rushed in and gave me a kiss on the cheek as she grabbed her breakfast and rushed out of the kitchen again to grab her bag “I’ll either be back for dinner or late!”
“That's really specific April,” I mutter as a lean in the kitchen doorway and watch her check her purse. “Do you have your touchup bag and your toothbrush?”
April let out a small gasp and rushed back to the bathroom. She came back out with a bag, gathered her things and blew a kiss as she ran out the door. I let out a laugh and went to eat my own food.
I spent the day editing a new video. I just hit 700k last week so I was making a special video to celebrate. It had some songs that I had covered laid over a video of me painting a portrait of my mother and father. It was taken a year before he had died and they had gone on a weekend getaway in the Appalachian mountains.
I didn't look up until April burst through the door. It was already dark out and I hadn’t even noticed.
“I just witnessed a Foot Clan attack!” she called as she walked through the apartment.
“What? Oh my god! Are you okay?” I practically jumped up and followed her as she began pacing around the living room. “April? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine! There I was at the docks trying to get some answers and then BAM! They were there!” She went on about the attack and then started about some kind of vigilante that fought them off.
“Vigilante? Are you serious?” She didn't answer, she just went into her room. I sat back down on the couch and tried to process what she had said. In the end I shook it off and went get some dinner ready.
Over the next few days April was hard to find. She seemed to be constantly on the move and didn't answer her phone. She came home talking about dad's old experiments and giant turtles, and over the next 2 days seemed to just be gone. The spire on the Sacks building fell and The Shredder, who was the leader of the Foot Clan, was arrested and Eric Sacks was revealed to have been working alongside him the whole time. It was a wild time for New York, and April was suddenly quiet about the vigilantes.
Time began to move on and April started talking about these 4 new friends she had that were brothers. They seemed like a fun nice group, and the stories she shared were great.
“So,” I started as we sat together on the couch, “when do I get to meet the brothers?”
April choked on her glass of white wine. “What? Meet them?”
“Yeah, You talk about them all the time! I would like to meet them. They’re all you’ve been talking about for like 3 weeks.” I said as I pushed her with my foot.
“Ummm,” April stopped to think and had a vague look of concern on her face, “I'm not sure actually. They’re pretty busy guys.”
I narrowed my eyes at her. “Uh-huh. If you don't want me to meet them just say so. I was just curious.” I turn my face away from her.
“No it's not that, It's just they’re kinda shy. They don’t really like meeting people.” April's face said that she was telling a lie.
“Okay.” I left it at that clearly something is bugging her about me meeting her friends.
April-
April went to spend some time with the boys, but couldn’t stop thinking about them meeting her little sister. How would she react? She thought to herself, ‘I fainted when I met them, and there are still times when it kinda freaks me out a bit. I don’t want my baby sister to get scared and I don’t want the boys to get hurt because of it.’ They had tried to act like April’s reaction didn’t hurt them, but she knew it did. ‘I just want everyone to be happy.’ She was sitting in the lair watching the boys fight and Mikey brought up their Christmas pop album again. She smiled, (y/n) loved music and often performed covers on YouTube. She was really good at it. She had even written her own songs but at this point refused to release or talk about them on her channel.
“April, is something troubling you?” The brunette turned, surprised to see Master Splinter.
“Oh it’s nothing really.” She paused, “Actually could we talk? I am having some trouble.” Splinter nodded and gestured for her to follow. Not answering the questioning looks of the brothers, they went into Hashi.
“The boys avoid this room as much as possible,” Splinter said with a chuckle, “they will not listen in in here.”
“Makes sense,” April laughed and sat down on a mat with Splinter while looking at the odd structures in the room, “I’m having some trouble with my sister.”
“Oh yes, little (y/n) she had only just been born. I believe your father brought her down to the lab twice in those last weeks.” He thought back fondly on the small soft baby that looked so tiny in the arms of her father but so big compared to him then. “ what is it that is wrong?”
“She wants to meet the brothers. She doesn’t know that they are turtles, but she knows I have new friends.” April said looking down, “ we are very open. We’re the only family we have left so we always know each other's friends. It’s a safety thing I guess.”
Master Splinter hummed and looked at April, who continued.
“She wants to meet them and honestly I want her to too! I think they would all get along so well and I think the boys would adore her. It would also be nice to know that there are 4 ninjas who would look out for her.” April sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
“I just don’t want the boys to get hurt. What if she is afraid of them? What if she screams and calls them monsters or freaks? What if she passes out or cries. It would hurt them so much, and I don’t want to see my sister frightened anyway.” April’s shoulders slumped and she lowered her face to look across at Splinter.
“You know your sister well? Do you think she will react this way?” The rat questioned.
“I don’t know. This isn’t exactly a situation that has ever come up before or one I ever thought I would be in.” She played with her fingers in her lap and she watched him stroke his beard.
“I think you know your sister well and know what would be the best course of action.” He smiled, “I think the trouble now will be convincing the boys to risk meeting her. I have no doubt that it will be a split crowd.”
April nodded and gave a kind of exasperated smile. She knew exactly what he was talking about. Mikey and Ralph would agree, Donnie was iffy, but Leo would say no.
“Thank you Splinter. That does actually help. Do you mind if I stay in here a bit longer?” She asked.
“Go ahead child. Take your time.” Splinter got up and left the Hashi.
April sat and thought about what he had said. She thought back to everything she knew about her sister and what she knew of the boys. If her sister could be accepting she knew that they could have a great friendship. The boys were half a year older than her and they didn't know anyone their age. It would be nice for them to have that she thought. She knew Mikey would be super friendly right away, maybe even too friendly. Donnie would be polite but wary at first and a bit excited. Raph would be happy just to meet another person, but Leo would be cold. She feared that he would be distant and unapproachable and she knew her sister well enough to know she wouldn't be able to handle that.
She took her time and eventually rejoined the brothers. She brushed off their questions with a simple: “I needed advice.” She sat down with them as they all talked and joked around. Finally Donnie brought up the perfect opportunity.
“April you're lucky you don't have brothers.” He said as Mikey bombarded him with insane ideas for gadgets.
“Well I don't have any brothers but I do have a baby sister.” The turtles all turned towards her clearly shocked by this news. “She's actually about 4 months from turning 18.”
“Woah Angelcakes, We didn't know you had a lil’ sis. Is she as beautiful as you?” Mikey said while batting his eyes at her.
“I think she is absolutely gorgeous, and she sings and does art. She’s about to be a senior in high school.” April said while leaning closer to mikey. “Shes shorter than me and has curves for days. She used to be on the dance team actually.” April laughed and Mikey threw himself back and fanned himself with his hand.
“Why haven't you mentioned her?” Leo asked.
“You never asked if I had any siblings. She was born a few weeks before my dad died.” April smiled sadly at that “She actually asked if she could meet you.”
The boys seemed to freeze at that, and suddenly all eyes were on her.
“You told about us?”. Raph asked.
“Kinda. I might have left out the part about being ninja turtles, but I told her about my new friends and she wants to meet you guys.” Raph scoffed at her answer.
“So you didn't actually tell her about us.” He almost snapped at her.
“Cool it Raph.” leo warned.
“I don't wanna be looked at like a freak. She won't want to meet us when she sees us.” he stood up and walked off. April looked at the others who all looked like they wanted to disagree and agree with Raph at the same time.
“Sorry angelcakes, I'm sure baby angelcakes is great though.” Mikey shrugged.
April sat in disbelief that they all basically said no. The lair was quiet after that and she left after they ate some dinner.
She got home only to remember her sister was spending the night at her friends house. So she had the place all to herself. She let out a sigh and poured herself a tall glass of wine and sat on the couch thinking about the events of the day. She came up with a plan as she finished her cup and decided that by the end of the week they boys will have met her baby sister. She grabbed her phone and invited the boys to come hang out at her place for once this upcoming weekend. They didn't even ask if her sister would be there.
(Y/N)-
April had gone out to pick up some pizza for a late night dinner. I had school, homework, and some video editing to do and forgot to cook. April came home late and said not to worry about it and would grab some pizza. Her new favorite place didn’t offer delivery so she went to go get it. I decided that a nice hot shower sounded good and went in. I got out as I heard the front door open and close. I made my way to my room about to throw on my favorite green sweater only to remember that It had been washed and was in the dryer. So, I wrapped my towel back around me and opened my door to head out into the living room. I walked out and looked up only to meet with 4 pairs of eyes.
“Oh my bad,” I said, turning to go back to my room only to stop and turn right back around. “Ummmm…” I trailed off not sure what to say as I stared at 4 very large, very green, oddly human like turtles, all while in a bath towel that left most of my left hip exposed.
“Oh hi (y/n). I forgot to mention I had friends coming over.” April said walking into the room. “You might wanna put some clothes on though.”
“Yeah…” I said not able to look away from the very large turtle creatures sitting in the living room.

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…
