My Fourth Mabon – Plans for My 2023 Autumnal Equinox Celebration

Once again, I’m making plans for next week’s Autumnal Equinox, but for some reason, this year feels different. I can’t quite articulate why or how it feels different, but let’s just say my spidey sense is tingling. Not in a “beware of danger” kind of way. But in a “you’re on the precipice of something significant” kind of way. 

Edit: I've since learned why I feel my spidey sense tingling. It's because of the recent Nodal Shift into Aries/Libra. This is technically my reverse nodal return. My NN is in Libra and my SN is in Aries.

Anyway, until I can suss out the why of it all, I’ll just make plans for the equinox that feels in the spirit of what I’m sensing at the moment. Either way, I’m sure I’ll overdo it and put too much on my plate like I always do. 😏

Let’s dive in shall we … 

Since the equinox falls on a Saturday (September 23rd) when I have to work, this is going to be a little different from years past. My plans will likely fall over 2 or 3 days because that’s just how I roll when it comes to celebrating the arrival of my favorite season, so that part is actually the same as years’ past. 

Even though I have to work, it’s not all bad. It just so happens that I’ll be working outside at an arts & culture festival in the park, so it’s a chance to enjoy nature throughout most of the day (keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn’t rain though). 

But once my work day is over, my plans look like this: 

Note: The arts and culture festival has been cancelled due to a rainy forecast, so that changes my plans a little bit. Also, because we're behind at work, it looks like I'll have to work Monday and Tuesday next week. Oddly enough, I'm not too upset about that. 🙃 We have a lot going on that will finish off the year and kickoff the fall season like we haven't done before. A little extra work feels justified in order to pull it all together.

I already know I’m gonna be making BANK when Rahu enters Pisces baby

[softbrownfemme]

turned on an older episode of these podcasters i listen to and it centered sacrificing a portion of your creative self for the comfortability of a steady paycheck and it really hit me in my chest. personally have never saw myself to be someone’s supervisor and im like climbing the professional ladder for this work so fast?

i want to become licensed as a therapist still but like also make more space for the creative child my younger self had to leave behind to survive?

more-so now than ever I've been feeling the need to pivot into a career of writing and directing my energy into the arts or something creative. literally all signs have pointed to there. 

[listentothistrackbitch]

All my placements have been affected by these last three nodal transits lmao nothing is touching me after this

week of december 29th, 2024

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

aries: plutonic and martial themes both abound this week. you're thus dealing with some fairly intense power struggle or ego battle. your power of will is a major and even spiritual part of your human existence so don't stuff it down or cast it aside, but check to make sure it's in a reasonable balance. when you act in the right you will tend to win battles under these influences.

taurus: the new moon at the very start of this week is great if you want to travel, study, or tell a radical truth. after that your ruling planet venus also because extra influential by moving into pisces. embrace your most venusian qualities.

gemini: some relationship/status matters may arise with a certain level of tension or even a degree of actual unpleasantness. on the other hand, status issues related to your public-facing image actually benefit you. your reputation becomes unusually graceful with the ingress of venus into pisces.

cancerians: the new moon this week is a relationships starting-over point if you wish it. starting over or starting fresh, whichever you need. furthermore venus into pisces is a possible harbinger of a new romance or aesthetic venture and especially if it relates to unconditional, universal love. for cancerians who love to get lost in love, this is the time.

leo: leonic sorts seeking deep emotional connections with other people, whether inside or outside a romantic relationship, or seeking magical, occult, manifestational superpowers will be pleased with the venusian passage through pisces. it starts this week. don't let anyone squash your glamour.

virgo: the new moon immediately beginning the week helps you set intentions and manifest anything that is fun and creative to your mind, from a garden to a painting to a whirlwind affair. not to mention sparkly venus in pisces begins this week, so if you enjoy said affair you get some help making it more solid and permanent without losing its ethereal and magical qualities.

libra: there is a lot of nodal activity affecting you this week which can be quite passionate, for better or worse. at the same time your ruling planet is entering its exaltation in pisces which makes you extremely magnetic without even trying. you electrify all the people (and everything else!) around you in your day to day life. that's a power i hope you're using for good!

scorpio: your modern ruler (pluto) and ancient/traditional ruler (mars) are in touch all week, and in fixed signs to boot. this can be a difficult time for you but also a productive (spiritually) one. it's eased and soothed a bit by venus heading for your 5th house. you create with ease and you feel the deep vibration of love underlying all things, at least if you put the slightest bit of effort into looking.

sagittarius: it's simply not your way to spend every moment of every day at home. and yet even nomadic centaurs need a base to crash. hopefully not literally crash - don't burn yourself out like that. make your home base a beautiful oasis in the desert of life this week.

capricorn: start this week off with a little bit of early new year's resolve. you already know what your aims and goals are, so why wait for january 1st? meanwhile this week is your last with mars in leo instead of opposite your sign in cancer. death/taxes/the taboo may come to a flashpoint while relationships may be bubbling under the surface ready to take the stage in potentially explosive ways. i tell you this not to scare you, but to help you prepare and make that process as smooth as possible.

aquarius: venus into pisces shifts your focus from your personal aesthetics and self image to real money magic. no one else ever gets quite this powerful of a second-house venus passage. it's not *just* finances of course, but all resources. but you are magnetic to them, especially when living in alignment with your most authentic values.

pisces: you're now hosting saturn and the two most powerful planets which can be in your sign: neptune, in domicile, and venus, in exaltation. people will underestimate you. ignore it and shine your brightest all the same. it's their loss and not yours.

The Astrology of the age 27

Butterflies represent growth and change

This is one of the most infamous ages due to the reputation of the “27 club.” If you don’t know who the 27 club is, it’s basically a group of famous celebs who passed from unfortunate ways at the age of 27.

There’s been a lot of conspiracy theories over the years about this phenomenon but it’s really a simple answer and it’s in the stars!

Astrology + Numerology

So when you turn 27, you enter a 4h profection year. Profectiòn years is a branch of astrology that focuses on the house that rules that year for you that year based on your age.

1 years old =1h

2 years old= 2h

3 years old = 3h

4 years old = 4h

So on and so forth..

This process goes up until your 12 years old= 12h profection year then the process starts over again. This is a 12 year cycle.

This is a good way to track certain patterns during your life.

So back to the 4h profection year…

The 4h in astrology represent your deepest psych, it’s who we are when we’re alone with our thoughts. Only a handful of people if any at all see this side of you. 4h is connected to your soul.

The 4h rules over our home life, family, ancestral roots, our emotional state of being.

The 4h is ruled by the moon, so your moon for that year is also being activated. This includes aspects to your moon and IC(4h)

During this year, you will feel

-emotionally overwhelmed with your deepest thoughts and emotions. If you’re the type to bottle up or hide your emotions, this year will challenge you on that. What are you feeling? Why are you feeling this way? What caused it? It can be a lot so take it easy on yourself.

-dynamics with your family may shift during this time, it doesn’t have to be a bad shift but it can uncomfortable. You may be thinking about your role in your family, family trauma, what type of family do you want to have.

-establishing a safe and secure home for yourself emotionally. Is this really a place I want to lay my head at night?

Saturn pre-return. Many people think your return starts at 29 but the energy of starts when you’re 27 years old. I call it the “pre-shadow period” it’s when you start to feel the “shift” happen in your life. Late 20s, you start to ask yourself, am I headed in the right direction? You may feel like you’re behind in life. You may start to have more responsibilities or you’re feeling like you need to be more responsible. Your worldview on people and those around you start to change, you start to view your own self differently.

So on top of your 4h/moon energy, you start to feel the beginning of your Saturn return energy.

Reversal Nodal Return. So this is when the current North Node transit is aspecting your natal South Node. The South Node transit is aspecting your North Node.

So, the SN represents our early life and the things that made us who we are essentially. It’s also connected the things you’ve learned in your past lives. So with the NN transit aspecting your Sn, a lot of past behaviors from this life which stems from past ones will resurface. It’s not all bad! During this time, you may re-explore your talents and gifts! It’s like the scene from lion king “remember who you are” 😅

Lunar progressed return. This is when your progressed moon returns back to your natal moon sign. You’re remembering who you wanted to be before the world told you something different.

Numerology.

So first 27 is a Gemini number. It’s the highest one. Your brain and your thought process start to really mature. You’ll be more open to communicating your thoughts. You’ll see things differently.

2 + 7 = 9. 9 is the number of completed cycles and endings. 9 is the humanitarian number as well. Too me, this is the end of one of your many adult cycles and the start of a new one. You’re entering a new phase in your life 9 is a sag degree, your worldview and you’ll be thinking about your philosophical ideas and beliefs. What do you believe? What shaped those beliefs? What role do I play in society and who else have these beliefs? Finding like-minded people who share those beliefs. It can be overwhelming because you can become more self aware on what happening around you and around the world.

I know this was a long post but I felt called to do it today! I’m opened for reading as well !

[talonabraxas]

Capricornus Talon Abraxas The Sun Is In Capricorn & It’s The Most Beautiful Time Of The Year Capricorn season is the most beautiful time of the year because it’s all about togetherness. The weather outside is frightful but the vibe with friends and family is so delightful, with seasonal cheer and excitement starting on 21st December and running to 19th January.

The astrological stereotype is that Capricorns are serious and rarely show emotion. However, if you've spent one-on-one time with the sea goat, you know that they radiate goodness and loyalty, and have a sharp sense of humour. Therefore the month of Capricorn is a time in which we can connect with others on a deep level and work through issues (if they exist) to cultivate long-lasting and meaningful relationships. 

Capricorn is an initiator of a season: Winter starts with Capricorn. So the sea goat is a go-getter. That's why we always think of Capricorn as the CEO. They are the zodiac sign that wants to attain and achieve success, but they can also be leaders who are aware of their employees’ and coworkers’ needs. At times they can be prickly, but that is only once they are poked; Caps are sensitive, after all. So prepare for your career to take flight and to reach your professional goals. 

The onset of Capricorn season brings the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere). The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and marks the beginning of yule. This is a time in which we honour the sun, as its presence is lacking, by lighting candles and a fire in the home to keep warm. Honour the past, present and future.

What sets 2024 to 2025’s Capricorn season apart from others is the three retrograde planets (Mars, Jupiter and Uranus) causing chaos in the cosmos. Mercury will be in its post-retrograde cycle (aka the retroshade) until 2nd January 2025. As a result, we might want to stay in or opt to have a low-key New Year’s Eve due to exhaustion and indecisiveness. Don't pressure yourself to show up if you're not feeling the vibe. Yes, there will be miscommunications and travel delays but we can sort them out if we’re mindful of how we go about matters.

The last Jupiter and Saturn square in Gemini and Pisces occurs on 24th December. The first aspect was 19th August. There could be drama at the dinner table with family when discussing politics. Being heard and not backing down from your beliefs is essential. Make sure you're not being too self-righteous and are expressing yourself in a way that articulates your thoughts clearly.

Also, the Nodes of Destiny are shifting on 11th January to the Pisces North Node and Virgo South Node and will remain there for a year and a half. The nodal change brings an upswing in spiritual and artistic endeavours, compassion and intuition — all positive things we can look forward to. Growth is possible.

Important Dates For Capricorn Season

21st December: The sun enters Capricorn and the winter solstice occurs, bringing a new season. 

24th December:Jupiter retrograde in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces, disputing matters in an effort to make things better.

30th December: The new moon in Capricorn offers hope for the upcoming year.

2nd January: Venus enters Pisces, offering tenderness and generosity to us and others.

6th January: Mars retrograde re-enters Cancer, taking us back to the events that happened in the last days of October and beginning of November.

8th January: Mercury enters Capricorn, making communication direct and sincere.

11th January: The North Node swims into Pisces and the South Node enters Virgo, emotionally charging our lives. 

13th January: The full moon in Cancer allows us to reflect upon what makes us feel warm and fuzzy all over, as well as happy and safe.

astro notes: daily transits & horoscopes 11/16

Saturday brings a deep need to reassess relationships, creativity, and finances as Venus reaches the "bending" of the nodal axis, a powerful point where we’re challenged to align with soul growth over comfort.

Harnessing the Power of the Aquarius New Moon in 2025:

A Pivotal Moment for Transformation

I invite you to envision yourself six months or even longer into the future, reflecting back on the pivotal Aquarius New Moon occurring on January 29th, 2025. This moment marks a significant turning point, where the collective narrative begins to shift, and the changes unfolding in your life start to take shape.

I recognize that you may be sensing a stirring of new energy, witnessing the emergence of novel experiences and opportunities, as well as a reordering of reality. With Jupiter and Uranus both turning direct, and the nodes shifting into the Virgo-Pisces axis, the stage is set for a profound transformation.

In this post, I will delve into the astrological transits that I believe are crucial for this New Moon, guiding you on how to seize the opportunities and navigate the challenges that may arise. I consider this to be one of the most powerful New Moons we will encounter throughout 2025, as it signals the beginning of a new paradigm.

As Uranus moves direct in Taurus, it prompts you to re-evaluate your value structure and the way you prioritize your needs and desires. This, coupled with Jupiter's direct motion, allows you to reframe your perspectives and unlock new avenues for potential growth. You may find yourself clearing out relationship patterns, attachments, and behaviors that no longer align with your evolving self, while simultaneously seeking to establish a new set of values and priorities that feel authentic and aligned.

The interplay between Mars and Venus during this time further emphasizes the need to align your choices with your evolving values and emotional responses. As Mars in Cancer forms a harmonious relationship with Neptune, it encourages you to reflect deeply on the emotional responses that no longer resonate, while also opening the door to new emotional investments in the parts of your life that truly inspire and excite you.

The Virgo-Pisces nodal shift, which began on January 6th, 2025, continues to shape the narrative of your life. This shift invites you to let go of the patterns and structures of the past that no longer serve you, while embracing a renewed sense of order and purpose. It's a time to recognize what you want to hold onto and what you're ready to release, as you strive towards a future that aligns with your deepest values and sense of meaning.

This New Moon is a pivotal moment, inviting you to envision the future version of yourself and make choices that set you on the path towards that desired reality. It's a time to recognize the emotional responses and values that have been cultivated, and to start making decisions that honor your authentic self. Post by Eloquent Astrology Services

Without going into a lot of complicated explanation - maybe when my migrainey head stops imploding, I can tackle it - today the “true” Lunar Nodes move from the Aries/Libra axis, to the Pisces/Virgo one.

However, the “mean” Lunar Nodes (“mean” as in “averaged”) don’t do this until January 28. I’ve found that the mean Nodes tend to be much more descriptive and accurate in interpretation, so I always use them.

To get us thinking about the impact of this shift - consider the condition of your natal Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces. (He’s much easier to relate to than Neptune, and usually has much more of a personal, noticeable impact than Neptune.) Your natal Jupiter shows where this Nodal shift is liable to have the most profound impact, if we act on it. (Nodes being, in Steven Forrest’s term, suggestions. The Node is the overall vibe, the planet is you acting it out.)

Similarly, look at Mercury’s position in your natal chart (and maybe Ceres’ too) for the flip side, ie the specific-to-you manifestation of the outgrown Virgo energies.

Love you all, and thanks for your patience as I attempt to sort myself out!! ❤️💐⭐️☮️

@tiarnietalks Slithering into the first New Moon of 2025 & boy, this waning dark moon purge the last 2 weeks has been heavy, wild, discombobulating, strange, emotional, healing & everything in between! The portal of this nodal shift has had us suspended, & perplexed, but TODAY marks some big changes, including the nodes FINALLY landing in the Pisces/Virgo axis. No more limbo. The 18-month transit can begin! The mean nodes shift just a few hours before the Aquarius New Moon, plus of course today is the Chinese Lunar New Year. We nod to the year of the Dragon (how amazing was he) & welcome in the year of the Snake.

This New Moon is accompanied by the intensity & insight of Mercury conjunct Pluto also in Aquarius, which is amplifying our thoughts & possibly spiralling us into the underworld; unearthing & revealing new ideas & terrain but also excavating the most hidden aspects of our psyche! Lordy.. the dystopia is real!

This energy can also help us hone right in, pinpoint & target what we are creating & what we are calling in, so definitely the time to make your declarations for your year ahead, especially on the 30th & 31st of January! Think outside of the box. Expect change. Welcome new inspirations. Epiphanic downloads. The future is beckoning but the bottom has to fall out first!

Our identity feels like it's being shadowed, eclipsed, the Leo/Aquarius axis asking- Who am I in the collective, in the whole? Is my sovereignty being swallowed up?

Uranus, ruler of this New Moon is slow & stationing direct, which can feel unnerving, restless, unstable. There is deep collective soul awakening, rumbling & I can sense & feel the collective hum, like zaps of lightning! It truly feels like the tectonic plates are shifting; a collective energetic earthquake is rattling us all. Our etheric template is going through a system upgrade (I mean, just wait until Uranus moves into Gemini.. farkkkk), but right now, the upgrade is real & the body is catching up.

Jupiter, our greater benefic also supports this New Moon so drink it in lovers! Enlarge your visions. Let go of what you thought you wanted or had planned & be open to what's coming. Big times are brewing, what a time right?

Ivan’s December 25 1991 astrology chart

@mslorelina-blog asked me to explain the astrology charts of the (official) fall of USSR and (official) formation of Russian Federation from my Ivan’s birthday post, so here I go ❤️

DISCLAIMER FIRST:

I’m just an enthusiastic learner of astrology and not an actual astrologer, so don’t be too serious abt this. These are real life charts but since this is for fandom purposes, I’ll be tying them into creative fandom endeavors (whicch means I’ll be talking about Ivan as a fictional character according to the charts).

I AM USING SIDEREAL VEDIC SYSTEM. If you don’t know what’s that, please google it up, but know that I’m not using the typical more common Tropical system. Signs shift a bit in sidereal (for example a Pisces in tropical is Aquarius in sidereal) so if you think the charts look wrong, it’s likely because I’m not using the system you have in mind.

Without further ado:

Fall of USSR. December 25 1991 19:35, Moscow

Sun sign: Sagittarius (Mula nakshatra)

Moon sign: Leo (Magha nakshatra)

Ascendant (lagna) sign: Cancer (Ashlesha nakshatra)

Other special features:

Chart ruler/lagnesh Moon in Magha (2nd house)

Atmakaraka (AK — soul significator, strongest planet): Venus in Libra (Vishakha nakshatra) 4th house

Darakaraka (DK — spouse significator, weakest planet): Moon in Magha (2nd house)

Nodal axis: North Node (Rahu) in Sagittarius (Purva Ashadha nakshatra), 6th house, and South Node (Ketu) in Gemini (Ardra nakshatra), 12th house

How would the chart mean for Ivan as a character?

Firstly, according to the big 3, the general description goes that Ivan will be aggressive and expansive (Sagittarius is a warring sign), proud and dignified but conservative (Leo), and sensitive and nurturing but emotionally vulnerable and overwhelming (Cancer)

His chart lord and Moon are in Leo Magha (2nd house of family). First and foremost, Ivan is tied to his (blood) family. He is possessive over them and is particularly spoiled by them (spoiler alert: I share this exact placement so I know firsthand about this). This placement means that he has his family wrapped around his little finger, and he is treated as ‘a king of his lair’ at the same time he is constantly babied. Magha nakshatra is ruled by planet Ketu (South Node) and represents ancestors; the natives would feel as if they have duties in upholding family traditions but at the same time they have their ancestors watching over them and blessing them. This is a powerful star of manifestation and royalty as ‘the power you have you’ve already wielded since born’. Magha natives usually have powerful ancestors or ones with interesting stories and karma to pass down for the natives to settle. As much as Magha natives tend to be conservative tho, we also tend to break away from some traditions in order to improve our lineage and ancestral karma.

At the same time, this is his weakest planet (DK; weakest by degree) so perhaps he would feel as if he is ‘cut out of these ancestral links’ some. However, being his chart lord, how he feels about his family and lineage (and personal resources, family is basically one of personal resources anyone could have) are the constantly occurring themes of his life. These are also things that he constantly seeks in his life.

Ivan has Moon conjunct Jupiter in 2nd house. Jupiter here can be bad and good at the same time; as Jupiter is a planet that expands things it comes into contact with, sometimes it expands Ivan’s resources and wealth but it can also increase family drama. Ivan is also highly generous toward his family.

Ivan has Atmakaraka (AK) Venus in Libra Vishakha 4th house. 4th house denotes motherland and/or mother, and him having the strongest planet here means he is very dearly tied to his motherland and his mother (if he had her). Venus in Libra is domicile/right at home, which means the house is strong and sturdy. Being Venus, Ivan likes good things — including beautiful things — in his homeland and is likely to get them also just by attraction, as Venus ultimately pulls you toward the things Venus signifies in the house. Moreover, Vishakha nakshatra is also a particularly ambitious star; the natives are sure to get what they want and will work hard to attain it. Venus in his 4th house also rules his 11th house of achievement and social circle; this means that Ivan befriends people who are like him most often, and his achievements and desires revolve around his motherland. This is quite a placement for a homebody.

Ivan has Mars in Jyeshtha (Scorpio) in 5th house of creativity and self expression, also domicile. This house also rules his 10th house (career, reputation and social status) which means that his reputation and social status are what he makes of them. Jyeshtha is quite a difficult star tho, as the natives would be involved in a cycle of constantly having to prove themselves through hard work, but not only for their own selves as the natives would also be responsible of others under their wing, or they feel they have to be responsible bc others often rely on them. Mars here makes Ivan aggressive in attaining those things, and he can also get stalkerish 😄. Mars here is conjunct Mercury which rules 3rd house of neighbors/courage and 12th house of loss or foreign places, so Ivan is sure to extends aggression towards those people as well. Since Mars is conjunct Mercury tho, which is a planet of communication, fun and tact, it’s honestly not all aggressive and he can be sensible.

Ivan’s Sun is Sagittarius in Mula Nakshatra (6th house). 6th house is the house of enemies, obstacles, and also illness/disease. Mula nakshatra is a powerful star that means roots or foundation; natives of this placement destroy or put things to ruin (mainly emotionally; not always physical) to return them to a blank slate for a new growth. With his sun here, which is a natural malefic, Ivan is someone who is sure to beat his enemies — of which he has a lot, because he has North Node (Rahu) conjunct his sun. Rahu works in amplifying to a high degree the significations of the house it sits in and the planet in its vicinity. Rahu in particular makes Ivan also highly ambitious about defeating obstacles, of which he has many, since Rahu basically amplifies both his obstacles and his desire to defeat them. It also happens that much of his obstacles come from his family, due to the fact that the dispositor of his Sun and Rahu is Jupiter in his 2nd house of family. However, lord of his Moon/Leo house is also Sun in his 6th house, which means people who were once enemies can become family. Pretty complicated placement, I would say.

With Rahu in 6th house and South Node (Ketu) in 12th house, Ivan is someone who is worldly and not much spiritual. Ketu represents what you already were bestowed with in your past life and Rahu is your unmet desires in this current life. 12th house indicates spirituality, solitude and detachment, and Ketu here means Ivan doesn’t need any of those things and thus won’t seek them out.

Ivan has Saturn in Capricorn (Shravana nakshatra), 7th house of relationship and business. This makes Ivan conservative in how he approaches relationships, but he is also highly loyal towards his (limited) partners. This makes him tend to only look for those who are his ‘traditional’ partners for business. At the same time, those partners also tend to be loyal towards him.

Also important to note that Ivan’s ascendant is in Cancer, Ashlesha nakshatra, and it is at an especially difficult point called gandanta. Gandanta means ‘knot at the end’ and signifies the highest degrees of a water sign PLUS the lowest degrees of its neighboring fire sign, in this case the junction between Cancer and Leo, that is, between Ashlesha and Magha. At the highest degree of Cancer, like shown here, Ivan ‘holds tightly to his self and doesn’t want to let go’, even tho the obvious path is to let go, since the water of Cancer has no way to go but into the fire and smoke of Leo. Only when you let go of your past issues that you can finally be liberated and go on to manifest reality, as shown in Leo. And guess what, Ivan’s Cancer’s lord is Moon in Magha so he does have the ability to liberate himself from the shackles of Ashlesha. Ashlesha itself is quite a difficult star, one that is highly possessive, dependent, and regarded as ‘poisonous’ (symbolized by a snake) due to its steadfast efforts in keeping what is his as his, even if he has to employ appalling measures for it (or what is thought of as appalling). Ashlesha at highest degree/gandanta point is the most possessive and unrelenting, and yet, it also has the most potential to shed its past baggage. This is very befitting of the end of USSR.

It remains the same, only that the ascendant changes from Cancer to Leo and thus house signs move.

Sun: Sagittarius (Mula) 5th house (chart ruler/lagnesh)

Moon: Leo (Magha) 1st house

Lagna: Leo (Magha)

AK Vishakha Venus 3rd house, DK Magha Moon 1st house

Nodal axis: Ketu in Gemini 11th house, Rahu in Sagittarius 5th house

The nuances are considerably different, this time, but not a lot. Ivan is nurturing and emotional (lunar influence: from being ruled by Moon to having 1st house Moon). Since this is Magha, even though Ivan has changed the system of his nation, he essentially stays the same and still carries the ‘karma of his past life’. An actually logical notion because nations hardly ever change their core even though they’ve donned different clothes, for better or worse. His AK changes from motherland-focused to neighbor-focused, but motherland keeps being an important focus due to the Mars-Mercury combo. Now Ivan’s purpose and main focus of life is genuine self expression (5H) compared to beating enemies (6H), though 5H can also mean child rearing or even childbirth, however that means in relation to him, lol. It also can mean romance 😂 (or perhaps just genuine love for himself, bc the dispositor of Rahu and Sun is in his 1st house of himself?). Ivan now has Saturn in 6H; beating enemies is a slow but sure process, but this time he’s got stability compared to the utter chaos of the previous chart. Enemies might be traditional as well, as in, it’s just the same kind of enemies he’s had before. Unfortunately (or fortunately) he can kind of sleep on them all tho! Funny placement because he gets his relationships from his enemies. Also, with 11H Ketu Ivan willingly isolates himself more from wider social circle and doesn’t care abt it much beyond his neighbors or kins.

Whew! That was pretty long. I have to say that I won’t incorporate all of this into my personal headcanons about Ivan, but I think these are interesting and I noted down some.

Do you think those influencers who dramatically switch from very left wing Marxist alternative etc to very trad Christians (specifically in homophobic/transphobic way) have ketu influence?

You were talking about ketuvians and their struggle to find a sense of self and it made me think of these types of people. I know someone with ketu 1H and magha moon who did this to an extent. She used to identify as non binary and was constantly shifting through different names and pronouns but then one day she just kind of stopped and started saying how she thinks pride is pointless and a waste of time or whatever😭 it wasn’t *that* extreme but I still thought it was a significant shift in belief in such a short time.

I think a lot of people have this dramatic shifts not only out of a need to identify with something due to a lack of sense of self, but also because they like going back to what their parents believe for comfort. I guess those two are interlinked but it’s interesting how my friend is a magha moon and magha is associated with ancestors and whatnot.

I guess mula is somewhat similar as “the root”? Idk about ashwini though

Sorry I haven’t actually had the chance to look into examples since it’s hard to find birth data for influencers and I don’t know that many examples irl 😶‍🌫️ so this is me just going on a tangent and hoping you get what I’m trying to say LMAO

I’m also not sure if anyone else is familiar with this phenomena or if I’m just too engrossed in niche internet drama.

In terms of influencers I guess a somewhat prominent example is Freckle Zelda on tiktok? I never followed her but she went from making cutesy safe space liberal type content in like 2021 and now she’s a Christian and is using it be to super controversial. But like I said I’ve never followed her so idk if this is dramatic enough of a switch to count as what I’m saying.

I also feel like this a rahu trait to switch between extremes🤔 idk lmk what you think

I feel like the capitalist commodification of identity has most adversely affected Nodal people.

If you think about it, spirituality's aim is to transcend the "self" entirely, you stop identifying with labels and attaching yourself to this or that thing. I'm not saying you cease to be a person but you stop trying to "accumulate" identities to hold on to.

9/10 times the reason we identify with something is to feel a sense of belonging but searching outwards for it will only lead to disappointment, when we search within and feel at home within ourselves, we lose the need to externally confined ourselves to rigid "identities"

Yk how people dye their hair, get piercings/tattoos etc to mark a new chapter or the end of an old one or whatever??? It is an attempt to claim something as "yourself" and "solidify yourself". Everything changes all the time, everybody changes yet there are many people who will never dye their hair or change their name or join a cult or whatever (not that all these things are the same) its just that if you're at peace with yourself and truly grounded, you will no longer be shopping for different identities or things to associate with.

Yk those people who have IG bios that read like "Mother, Pluviophile, ESFJ, Petrolhead, UJC'22, Missourian, Ancient Spirit, 1/4th Cherokee, Bitcoin Enthusiast, EDM Lover"

like what do any of those terms say about them?? how on earth is any of this central to your identity? all of these are external ??? is loving rain and being a petrolhead central to your sense of self?? im not trying to demean anybody's interests, im only trying to point out that what we choose to make the focal point of ourselves is up to us and its possible to not be defined by anything?? i think a truly ugly consequence of capitalism is how people try to define themselves by things outside them (their interests, hobbies, job, income level, marital status etc etc) because there is more to a person than all that.

when we retreat within, we base our sense of self on our qualities like kindness, compassion, creativity (this becomes the essence of who we are) so we don't feel the need to claim 87373 other things to describe ourselves

some people overly identify with others like their partners, friends or even strangers and kind of become them. this is also the root of stan culture, by being obsessed with someone to that extent and giving them all your time and energy, you are losing your own qi and harming your Sun (the same way criticizing the appearance of others ruins your Venus)

Rahu is prone to taking things to extremes and Ketu is prone to trying on different identities and losing interest in all of them one after the other. so your observations are right.

i dont really use social media so i dont know any influencers that i can quote as examples ;-; but im thinking of certain celebrities who have had drastic style changes in the past and all of them have nodal influence lol

in the 2000s, the Olsen twins were known for their boho chic hippie style and over the last decade or so they have become known for their "quiet luxury" style. They are Magha Moon

Julia Fox is Ardra Rising and she went from basic to avant garde

Jared Leto, Mula Sun, Ashwini Moon & Rising , he's also the leader of a cult allegedly so👀i guess it all adds up

Adele, Mula Moon & Ardra Rising

im not just talking about her weight loss, just her overall change in style. she got married young and had a baby and in a couple of years she got a divorce and revamped her look to that of an ig baddie

Kylie Jenner, Swati Moon she's changed her style/demeanour every other year since the early 2010s lol

Taylor Swift, Ardra Moon has also had many diff lewkzz throughout the years

before anybody says dont celebs change their styles often?? no they dont, not everybody for sure. look at Jennifer Lopez or Sarah Jessica Parker, theyve been dressing the same since the 90s. constantly evolving style/looks/personality is a Nodal thing. its also a big part of the reason why Nodal people succeed in the entertainment industry and in the material realm (a lot of rich people including Bezos have Nodal placements) because entertainment = illusion, pretending to be someone you're not and for Nodal people, this is pretty much second nature.

im sorry that my response is kind of all over the place. your question provoked some thoughts within me lol and i just had to shareee

i cant think of celebs who have drastically changed their life paths like the example u cited ;-; EXCEPT Bridget Mendler who is an actor, singer, and entrepreneur, has a PhD and went to Harvard Law and now runs a satellite company?? she also adopted a kid during all this? She has Mula Sun

anywayyys thats it for now

tysm for sending this ask!!! its a very thought provoking and interesting question<33hope u have a good day<33

The New Moon in Cancer on July 17th, 2023 will occur in conjunction with the Lunar Nodes changing signs. The energy on this day will be in Cardinal mode. It is an energy that allows us to initiate and feel much more fearless and optimistic. Nevertheless, these signs are in challenging aspects to each other, which can make things feel slow and frustrating. However, the New Moon will have Saturn as its champion. The trine shows us that although it can feel challenging, we have the determination to push through. One key theme of this transit is to keep looking ahead and not to the past. There is an emotional heaviness when planets are in Cancer, and this transit is no exception. Understand the value of letting go and looking inward for healing. Staying connected and acknowledging our emotions can work in our favor. Things may feel overwhelming now, but there is always sunshine after the storm. See how this transit will impact

It’s almost midnight and I feel like talking about LaLisa. Ms. Manobal—Didn’t I call for at least 2 years that she’d make a HUGE gargantuan career move at this time?

With the NN currently separating from (most) of her stellium, all but one, this indicates to me that her recent arrival at RCA records was probably finalized around the time of the solar eclipse on April 8th. This would be due to said eclipse occurring at 19° and formed a neat conjunction to her Mercury at 21°. 19 degrees falls within a Libra degree in Degree Theory, which can symbolize contracts and peaceful agreements (albeit rushed in Aries tbh), and Astrologer Kira Ryberg describes the second face of Aries as not only being highly dignified because of its amplified solar energy but creates a sense of royalty, honor, and the question of worthiness that follows with the 3 of Wands energy associated with this phase.

Before one embarks on their journey, they stare out into the horizon, waiting for the ship to arrive and are filled with a gnawing sense of anxiety amidst their excitement. Will fear or the courage for adventure take hold?

Lisa’s actions tell us that the latter is her decision. Especially since her Mercury, which is associated with writing, speaking, and the mind, was the catalyst. However, seeing as the last full moon and penumbral lunar eclipse occurred on her Sun and Venus, I can also see negotiations happening at that time, which would mean, imo, that the October eclipses on this axis were also relevant to this deal being made. But I alsoooo believe that since so much of her chart is being activated at this time (we haven’t even discussed PLUTO’S SEXTILES), there’s more down the pipeline coming that we don’t see. A lot of the kpop tarot readers have been mentioning that ONE particular member of Blackpink would outshine and out pace the others and my betting horse was always Lisa.

But with so much activating for her, esp with her Saturn Return in Aries on the horizon, I also feel like it should be mentioned that ‘pace’ should be a factor here. Aries, at its worst, even if it’s doing well, can run the risk of burning itself out often with disastrous results if they wait until the last moment. With the next nodal cycle occurring RIGHT on top of her Retrograde Virgo Mars next in Sep later this year and in March the following, we’re going to find out if she’s been learning that this power thrust of sudden momentum can only be sustained through Actual ™ periods of rest and downtime.

Meaning—not still working when you’re supposed to be sleeping and doing nothing. With a Scorpio Moon ruling said Mars and the stellium ruled later by that, she may not believe in the concept of rest or taking it easy. She’s so neurotic and frenetic that it just doesn’t make sense to her because that isn’t the way her body works. At rest, she’s often antsy, hard to pin down, and is most likely doing something ‘productive’ to channel that extra steam into. I can also see her being rather lazy and sleep prone during her down periods in response to it. ‘Lazy’ isn’t a bad word either.

However, this can also mean a more strategic shift in direction where she becomes more mindful of where (and who) she invests her energy into. She’d see herself as The Star ™ instead of a playing piece and would value her self worth and act accordingly. She’d also make more informed choices. With Pluto in Aqua sextiling her points after its official permanent ingress after December, this would amplify the inclination for her to want to be more reserved and discerning in how she conducts business and navigates her stardom. Imo, the South Node conjoining her Retrograde Virgo Mars feels like a growth period after a break out, if that makes sense. Breaking free into the wild and then re-learning yourself as someone who’s liberated opposed to imprisoned. It shifts you from a scarcity mindset of needing to sign everything, do everything, and reaching for the top for the sake of it to being more relaxed and self-assured that you’re doing everything right and don’t need to prove yourself.

It circles back to that creeping 3 of Wands worry of ‘worthiness.’ To project further, what comes next in the arcana series are the 5, 6, and 7 of Wands in Leo, the domicile of the Sun, who’ll occupy the South Node in the eclipse following the one to come. Since the Leo decans surround topics of earning your place, celebrating it, and defending it, Lisa’s next phase will predict how she’ll handle this one since the Sun exalts in Aries.

I think she’ll do exponentially well. However, I see an issue that I’ll bring up in my next piece about her.
