Review: Kösem Sultan (İktidar Hırs ve Entrika) by Özlem Kumrular
my Goodreads rating: ★★☆☆☆ Positive parts: the extensive bibliography which made me discover more books that I now want to read Negative parts: her way of presenting information, the almost total absence of historiography reasoning and if present its weakness, the lack of more information in the notes section.
I am often asked what I think about this book, so I have finally picked it up. I'll admit I have not read it all: I have skipped paragraphs or even whole pages. I did not read chapter 3, “Valide Sultan in the Old Palace: Mustafa I, Osman II and again the reign of Mustafa I”, because I have read in a review that it is not really about Kösem... and I was not interested.
I must say I am very disappointed. I don’t know if I had high standards or what, but it really wasn’t what I expected. I thought it was academia but it may have actually been popular history. I hope it’s popular history at this point, because it doesn’t seem like academia at all. Information is just presented like that, there are no explanations about how the author reached her conclusions-- which is something that I love reading about in historiography books, as someone who wants to do this job.
On the other hand, I deeply appreciated the research she did for this book: she drew from Spanish, Turkish and Italian archives, and books in english are listed in the bibliography as well. I particularly liked that she used Pedani as one of her sources in harem matters, it made me very happy as an Italian. Unfortunately, she did not transcribe the quotes she got from ambassadorial reports; this doesn’t allow you to check her translation, which is something that is very dear to me. 
[very long rambling ahead-- I am so sorry]
As for her more unconventional claims: that Ahmed I had married Kösem and that şehzades Selim and Orhan were two of Kösem’s children, I was not satisfied with her reasoning. Her claims rest on a letter that - apparently - was sent to Venice on Kösem’s orders when Murad IV ascended the throne; it was found in the archives of Venice and it was in Ottoman Turkish. Kumrular included a translation in Latin Alphabet in her book of the important passages. [you can look at it here: x]:
“His generous mother Kösem, for the dead Sultan Ahmed, whom Allah took with him, was a very important person and the Sultan loved her so much that he honoured her by marrying her. In addition to the ruling sultan, she has two younger sons named Sultan Selim and Sultan Orhan.”
Now, Kumrular claims that the prince Selim who was born in 1611 to Ahmed was the son of another concubine, and that this is another Prince Selim. She explains the absence of Kasim and Ibrahim (who were clearly very much alive) saying that Venice probably already knew that they existed... it’s a little weird. Historian Erhan Afyoncu says that Selim and Orhan may have been Kasim and Ibrahim’s other names, but Kumrular answers this by saying that no source mentions that they had more than one name. Which is true but I remembered when I read some Venetian ambassadorial reports back in November, and Giovanni Cappello in 1634 clearly calls Murad IV’s younger brother “Orcan”:
“Tiene Sua Maestà due figliuoli nell'infanzia, d'incerta riuscita. Ha due fratelli, li quali, non ostante l'uso contrario della morte nell'assunzione degli Imperatori, vivono tuttavia; il maggiore di nome Orcan è in età di anni 19 con concetto di buon talento. Il Re sovente seco tratta con umanità, permettendogli la barba, privilegio riserbato alla sola persona del Re in serraglio...”  “His Majesty has two sons in infancy, uncertain in survival. He has two brothers who - contrary to the tradition of putting them to death on the emperors’ ascension - nevertheless live; the eldest named Orcan is 19 years old with a good intellect. The King often treats him with kindness, allowing him to grow a beard, a privilege reserved to the only person of the King in the Serraglio...”
At the time I thought that it was a simple mistake of Cappello’s, who misunderstood “Kasim” (I mean, Mihrimah was called Cameria in Italy so everything is possible at this point), but maybe he did not and he was right? Maybe Kasim was truly called Orhan Kasim or Kasim Orhan? Cappello says that in 1634 he was 19 years old, which means that he was born in 1615-- a date often attributed to Kasim’s birth. 
While he mistakes Orcan for the eldest of Murad IV’s brothers (Bayezid was in fact the eldest, being born only a couple of months after Murad IV), we cannot simply distrust his whole testimony. 
It is sad that Kumrular did not read this relazione (or did not find it useful to her book) because I would have liked to see her conclusions. 
About Kösem’s marriage, her reasoning is... pretty weak, in my opinion: she first says that the letter must have been written on Kösem’s orders, who knew that official wives had a great importance in Europe so she could have said that just to enhance her status.... but then says that it is unlikely that she outright lied in a state document:
“It is obvious that Kösem, in front of a country as important as Venice, wanted to mark the legality of her position. Emphasizing that she is the wife of the deceased ruler and the praises directed at her were aimed at raising her relationship with the Venetian state, gaining respect for her and therefore listening to her words.” 
To be honest, the claim that Venetians would have looked down a non-married consort is out of the world; they had entertained relations with the Ottomans for two centuries at that point and they very much knew that Ottoman sultans did not frequently get married. 
Moreover, there is no proof that this letter was sanctioned by Kösem herself. It was written by one Mustafa çavuş in 1624 (dated by Pedani), who says that it is the second time he is sent to Venice as an Ottoman emissary. It is certainly strange that in it he claims that Murad IV is fifteen years old, which he definitely was not. At the end of the letter he says that the rest will be included in the letters penned by the Sultan and the Grand Vizier. Unfortunately, either these letters did not surive or Kumrular did not read them... she did not explain it in the book. 
In any case, she attributes mistakes to the person who actually wrote the letter (high-ranking women dictated their letters) which is... rather convenient, I guess.
The rest of the book is just a narration of Kösem’s life. There is so much she doesn’t look at in depth and at the end of every section I was not satisfied with the amount of information given. There was always something lacking, I felt like there was more she could have said but for some reason didn’t. 
The book is 336 pages long and at the end you’re left with only the surface of Kösem’s life. It was more like reading an - admittedly long - Wikipedia article than a biography. 
Unfortunately this book was not very reviewed by her peers, which is a shame. I could only find one review, by Hüseyin Çalış (who is apparently a member of the Izmir Katip Celebi University), who says that the book sometimes seems like a novel and that there are deficiencies in it but that all in all is a good contribution to Ottoman historiography, considered that it was written in just one year.
I am not sure I agree with his positive view of this book. I didn’t feel satisfied when each topic was over, it felt like she was just listing events happening - most of them not about Kösem - with no reasoning behind. I am also disappointed that the notes section is very poor of information; she did not add anything in it except the titles of the books she had drawn her info from-- often they were books which contradicted her own claims but she did not explain that. 
The bibliography part was very rich, though, and this is what I most appreciated about this book. I have written down a couple of books I want to read, among them: Murat Kocaaslan - Kösem Sultan. Hayatı, vakıfları, hayır işleri ve Üsküdar’daki külliyesi, which I think may be better than this book altogether. I had the chance of reading a chapter of his book about Mehmed IV and it’s more academia than Kumrular’s: better written, better researched, better noted as well. 
In conclusion (I am so sorry this got way too long, I was supposed to write just a couple of things about this book), maybe it’s my fault but it truly was not what I thought it would be and I am not sure I will buy her book about Nurbanu and Safiye after all. I personally prefer pure academia compared to... whatever this was (half and half? who knows)
If you can’t stand academia, though, and want something... lighter? maybe this book will be for you. It certainly looked like popular history sometimes.

They’re getting ready to welcome the baby! I hope you like it! Let me know!
[FF] or [AO3]
28. Thirty-two Weeks
“Breathe.” Haymitch ordered her, prompting Effie to shoot him a glare. He rolled his eyes and lifted defensive hands. “Hey, you heard the lady, that’s what I’m supposed to say when stuff like that happens.”
It was her turn to want to roll her eyes and she fought against that bad habit very hard.
Haymitch hated the antenatal classes with a passion hardly rivaled by anything else but he was actually attentive during them, which didn’t always end up to Effie’s advantage. He found sitting on the floor, on yoga mats, stupid and irritating – she suspected it was mainly because he had to help her up afterwards and she was heavy – and he wasn’t a fan of the theoretical aspect of labor that he would have been happy to remain ignorant about until he was forced to face it. The breathing exercises, on the other hand, he had taken to with boredom but diligence – and he liked to spring them up on her every time she looked a bit off the weather.
“We are in a hospital, I dare say I am perfectly fine.” she sighed.
“Told you having the classes and the appointment in one day was too much.” he triumphed, far too smug for her liking.
“And as always I should have deferred to your superior experience with pregnancy.” she retorted. “You carried so many children before. Oh… Wait.”
His eyes twinkled. “Sassy.”
Perhaps going to the class and then to their appointment with Doctor Larcher had been a bit ambitious for one day. Even as she laid there, on the examination table, waiting for the doctor to show up, she felt ready to burst. And the added stress of being in the clinic wasn’t an added bonus.
“I cannot wait for this to be over.” she said. She immediately felt guilty about it because she certainly didn’t want her baby to come out now, well before his due date.
“Only a little over a month to go.” Haymitch reminded her, trying to be comforting. It wasn’t.
“Easy for you to say.” she snapped. “You are not the one full to the brim with a human being.”
Tears pricked her eyes and she blinked them away hastily. He glanced at the door, probably wishing Larcher would hurry up, and then brushed her hair out of her face. She batted his hand away. The wind had destroyed all her attempts at looking nice but she wasn’t going to let him make it worse.
“Mariana is right.” he grumbled. “You’re in a mood today.”
She hadn’t appreciated the comment when Mariana, the midwife, had muttered it and she didn’t appreciate it any more now. She wasn’t sure she liked the midwife at all, truth be told, and she dearly hoped Larcher would be free for the actual delivery.
She didn’t think Mariana wished her or the baby any ill – and Haymitch had certainly made sure of that with a background check Effie wasn’t supposed to know about although he should have known by now that he couldn’t keep a secret from her – but she had flinched away from Effie when they had first met and she walked on eggshells around her. She was young, in her twenties, not old enough for the terror of Reapings to having dulled and she was from Twelve, which made it worse.
The classes were in groups and the other three pregnant women in theirs had been cordial enough if not friendly. She hadn’t heard a single bad word uttered against her and she didn’t perceive any of them as a threat – something Haymitch would have most likely picked on because he had been overprotective to the point of suffocating her since Clay. Still, she felt lonely but she had never tried to join the other three women when they laughed or joked, just like Haymitch had stayed far from the other fathers.
“I am eight months pregnant.” she growled. “When either of you are eight months pregnant, you will get to comment on my mood.”
“Well said.” Larcher teased as he strode in. “How are we today, Effie?”
“Bitchy.” Haymitch answered for her.
If she hadn’t been lying on her back and if it hadn’t taken a lot of rolling left and right to get off that table, she might have tried to murder him. And given the smirk he flashed her, he probably knew it.
“I am tired.” she admitted. “And I feel dizzy more and more often.”
“That’s probably the baby pressing on your ribcage.” Larcher reassured her, studying her. “He doesn’t have much room.”
Once more, Effie fought not to roll her eyes. In her opinion, he had plenty of room. It would take her a long time to get her figure back.
The doctor examined her while Haymitch stared at the ceiling half in courtesy and half in embarrassment.
“He doesn’t move as much as before.” Effie told him eventually and, immediately, Haymitch’s attention snapped back to her.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” he accused, his eyes darting between her and the doctor. “She had too much stress, yeah? The fucking wedding, the press, her family… That hurt the baby? Is he…”
“Calm down, Haymitch, the baby is fine.” Larcher chuckled, patting his shoulder. “It is perfectly normal for the baby to be less active, it means he probably shifted to be ready to come down so you can’t feel him as much. It also accounts for the pressure on your bladder, the dizziness and the heartburns you haven’t mentioned but I’m sure are there.”
Effie flashed him a sheepish smile. “Those are not so bad. They didn’t seem worth mentioning.”
“As you pointed out, you’re eight months pregnant. Everything is worth mentioning.” Larcher retorted without heat. “Now, are we ready for the last ultrasound?”
Effie nodded. It was odd to know it would be the last time she would see the baby on the screen, that the next time she would see him… She would be holding him in her arms.
She blindly reached for Haymitch’s hand and squeezed.
The familiar wooshing sound was the best part, in her opinion. Her baby’s heartbeat… She would never get tired of that.
“Here he is.” Larcher said, pointing to the mass on the screen, retracing the shape with his finger. “See? That’s his head, right here.” He was indeed, facing down, already ready for labor. “And…” Larcher frowned, leaning closer to the screen.
“What?” Haymitch immediately worried.
“Is there a problem?” Effie asked at the very same time.
They clung to each other’s hands. It couldn’t be that bad, she rationalized, the heartbeat was strong and their baby looked just like a baby ought to. It couldn’t be…
“A problem, no.” the doctor mumbled, still frowning, before dismissing it with his free hand. “I apologize, it’s nothing.”
“Are you sure?” Haymitch growled. “What about the cord? ‘Cause I’ve read they can go around the baby’s neck and…”
“It is a possibility I strongly encourage you not to worry about.” Larcher countered. “Everything looks good.” He typed on the keyboard. “He…”
“Aidan.” Effie cut him off. “His name is Aidan.”
Larcher smiled indulgently and started again: “Aidan is perfectly healthy and there is no reason to expect any difficulty during the delivery. He’s a little under four pounds now, which is perfectly in the range for thirty-two weeks.”
The idea that she would have to somehow get a baby who would weight more than four pounds out of her was terrifying.
“Are you still set on the home delivery?” the doctor asked.
“Yes.” she answered firmly.
There wasn’t much more to say or do. Larcher urged her to rest a little more and, soon, they were back in the town’s busy streets – well, busy for Twelve.
They walked slowly, mostly because it felt to her as if the Village was way too far for her to get back on foot.
“You’re sure you want to give birth at home?” Haymitch hesitated as they were rounding the Clarke’s coffee shop’s corner. “‘Cause… What they said at the shower… I know it scared you shitless.”
“Language.” she reminded him, placing a protective hand on her stomach, over the coat that wouldn’t close properly. The weather wasn’t that bad for March though, almost as if spring was eager to arrive. “And… It may have spooked me a little.”
She had been glad when Elindra and Lyssa had gone home with a promise to come back sometimes after she had had the baby – something Haymitch had just loved. She had also been somehow relieved when Annie and Johanna had left for Four. She hadn’t dared talk about it with Eileen yet though. She wasn’t sure she wanted to. How would it help to know just how much it would hurt?
“I know you don’t want a hospital…” he hesitated.
“I will be fine.” she replied, forcing herself to sound strong. “We will be fine.” She grabbed his hand and squeezed. “Won’t we?”
He winced. “I ain’t the one who’s gonna have to do this, sweetheart… If I could spare you the pain, I would, but…”
And he would, she believed that.
“It cannot be worse than a whip or…” She let her voice trail off and took a deep breath. Her sudden dizziness had nothing to do with the baby, it wasn’t him who was pressing on her ribcage. It was the memories. “Perhaps I will be in excruciating pain but it will be for something good and it will mean something. It won’t be pointless and it won’t be… I survived torture, I can survive giving birth. We will have a baby boy at the end of it.”
“Yeah.” he smiled, placing his arm around her shoulders and drawing her into his side.
She humored him for a few minutes but they couldn’t really walk like that anymore, it wasn’t practical at all, she was dawdling too much.
She was dismayed to realize they were still far from the slope that would take them to the Village.
“Do you think Katniss will be alright?” she asked, her mind jumping tracks in an effort to distract herself from the long way to go. “Were we clear enough?”
He shrugged. “That was mostly Jo being an ass. I shouted at her about it.”
“You shouldn’t shout at Johanna.” Effie chided him. “She went through a lot too. Did it occur to you the ideas she put in Katniss’ head had something to do with how she feels about the situation?”
“Jo’s a big girl.” he scoffed. “She’s practically got a kid of her own.”
Effie sighed. “You can be so obtuse sometimes.”
He shot her an irritated glance. “So what? You know Johanna better than I do now?”
“Well, we did share a cell, you know.” she retorted, a bit flippantly. “It tends to give new perspectives on people.” She shook her head, choosing her words carefully. “She… looks up to you a lot. You were always watching after her and Finnick but when Katniss and Peeta came along…”
“What? You’re saying she’s jealous?” he snorted. “Come on.”
“I am saying the situation is more complicated than what you make it out to be.” she argued firmly. “I do not think she was simply trying to get a rise out of you or Katniss.”
She sighed in relief when she spotted the slope leading up to the Village.  
“Don’t know.” he admitted. “Maybe. But she’s doing fine on her own, she doesn’t need me hovering over her shoulder.”
“Perhaps try to tell her that next time.” she advised.
He rolled his eyes and placed a hand at the small of her back to subtly – or, at least, he thought it was subtle – help her up the path.
“I hope this one’s gonna be easier, sweetheart.” he declared.
She pursed her lips and tilted her head to studied him.
“Half you and half me.” she reminded him. “How much easier do you think it will be exactly?”
He made a face. “Point taken.”
They were silent for the rest of the way, mainly because Effie needed to save her breath. She could have wept in joy when she heard the familiar honking and barking at the corner of their street. Home at last.
Snowball jumped around her in welcome as soon as they made it to the backyard and Haymitch was forced to gently shoo him away in fear of her overbalancing.
“Don’t forget the mail.” she said, distracted by the puppy. If she didn’t remind him of those practicalities, the mailbox would burst with unopened letters and bills.
She let herself in and made a beeline for the living-room, dropping on the couch with utter exhaustion. Never again would she cumulate a class and an appointment. Haymitch had been right. Not that she was about to admit that much, he would become insufferable.
The front door was slammed shut and she clenched her jaw in annoyance. He needed to lose this bad habit and fast. Soon there would be a baby in the house and she wouldn’t appreciate it at all if he woke him up with his carelessness.
“You’d think they’d get tired at some point.” he grumbled, tossing a few letters on the coffee table and handing her a now crumpled newspaper. “It keeps coming and coming.”
When she realized what had him so irritated, she sighed. The press had been having a field day with them since the wedding. The interest about her pregnancy had died after the first few months but it had risen again with Clay’s attack – something she was definitely trying to forget about – and after the short-notice wedding…
It seemed nothing worthy of mention was happening in Panem because they were making the headlines one day out of two. They had tried to appeal to Plutarch’s good side but the former Gamemaker claimed his hands were tied. He had held the wolves back as long as he had been able, it was out of his control now – but the money went directly in his pockets, she couldn’t help but think.
“What are they saying today?” she asked, a tad bitterly.
Given that strict instructions had been given to their friends and relatives to not disclose anything about them or the baby – something her family was respecting to the letter because she had made it clear she would not tolerate her child being exploited for five minutes of fame – medias were forced to invent quite a number of things to keep the public interested.
“Wondering if it’s a boy or a girl and calling a girl.” he snorted, sitting down next to her.
He left her to peruse the article while he kept busy trying to tug a stuffed toy out of Snowball’s mouth. The puppy growled and wouldn’t let go but his tail was wagging in amusement. Effie’s attention wasn’t on the dog but when she caught sight of what exactly they were playing with, she frowned and then gasped.
“Snowball!” she snapped. “Bad puppy! Very bad puppy!”
Haymitch’s eyebrows shot up and he placed a protective hand on the dog’s head when Snowball suddenly huddled against his legs, doing his best innocent puppy eyes.
“He’s just fake growling, sweetheart.” he grumbled. “He’s playing. He ain’t gonna attack or anything…”
She pursed her lips and glared at the dog. “That bear isn’t yours, is it?”
The poor blue stuffed bear was damp with drool.
“What do you mean it’s not his?” Haymitch asked, confused. “Thought you had bought it for him… You’re always buying him toys.”
“This was in Aidan’s crib.” she hissed. “And it is not the first time someone tries to steal our son’s toys.” Snowball let out a whine and lied down in what was probably supposed to be a show of contrition. She didn’t let herself be moved – not too much anyway. “I am very angry with you. Bad puppy. Very bad puppy.”
Haymitch chuckled. “Maybe we should have the talk about the new sibling with him too… Hell, sweetheart… Maybe we should gather everyone we know and give them the talk. It would save time.”
“This is not funny.” she retorted. “This is a behavior problem that needs to be corrected now. He has his own toys and he is spoiled enough as it is. What if he steals our son’s favorite stuffed toy one day? What will we do then?”
“Put it in the washing machine?” he suggested, his grey eyes twinkling in mischief.
“Nothing that has been touched with puppy’s drool is ever going anywhere near my son.” she declared.
“Then we better burn down the whole house.” he shrugged, smirking with obvious fondness as if she was being adorably funny.
“You think I am overreacting.” she pouted.
“You, overreacting?” he repeated, faking astonishment. “Never.”
She might have started ranting if Snowball hadn’t warily carried the bear over and dropped it on her knees – still damp with drool. She made a face that made Haymitch laugh.
He laughed so rarely that it almost made the ordeal worth it.
Almost.
She placed the bear behind her, out of the dog’s reach, and patted his head. Snowball gave the toy a last yearning look – and she was certain he would find a way to steal it again because he had had his eyes on that bear ever since she had come home with it – and trudged to his own bed where he started munching on his purple monkey.
“You are doing the laundry.” she decided and then thought better of it. “Never mind. Last time I had you doing that it was a disaster.”
“You know I had lived alone for close to thirty years when you showed up, right?” he mocked.
“I do not think we should use the state your house was in during those years as standards.” she replied. “And dropping everything in the machine, adding a hazardous amount of detergent and typing on buttons at random isn’t how you do laundry.”
Her cashmere sweater had never recovered.
“If you say so.” he humored her.
“I do, actually.” she huffed, looking back down at the newspaper. “At least we know nobody is talking to them.”
The article claimed the chances of them having a girl were high because so called experts had examined the shape of her stomach on her wedding pictures. It seemed she had also been seen perusing dresses in a shop.
“They’re a pain.” he spat. “The fuck they want with us?”
“The same thing they always did.” she commented. “Use us to make money.” Her fingers brushed over the black prints. ‘A little girl for the Abernathy family?’ She snorted. “Let them exhaust themselves figuring out which girl name we picked. It will keep them busy and off our back.”
“Shouldn’t have tried to talk to them.” he accused. “I know you meant well but… It just fueled the fire.”
“Perhaps if you hadn’t threatened them.” she retorted, rubbing her stomach. She leaned against his side and rested her head on his shoulder. “What’s done is done.”
He wrapped his arm around her and let her use him as a pillow for what, she was sure, would be a long nap.
“I don’t want our kid to grow up in the spotlight, that’s all.” he sighed. “We can’t change who we are but…”
His voice trailed off but she knew what he meant. Their child shouldn’t have to carry that weight. “Yes. I wish…”
It was her turn to leave her sentence incomplete.
“Yeah.” he breathed out against her hair, pressing a kiss on the top of her head. “Fuck, if I know.”

:day of birth: Dec 7.
:worst food you have ever tried: Durian. Listen. I tried to like it. To some it’s a delicacy. I had to make ice cream out of it once because of an Indonesian tasting menu we were doing and it tasted like gasoline. I made gasoline ice cream. Apparently they ban the stuff on public transportation in Singapore. It smells that bad.
:movie that made you cry the hardest: Oh man. It’s a toss up between Dancer in the Dark (NEVER EVER ANY LARS VON TRIER MOVIE EVER AGAIN) and Pan’s Labyrinth. I cried so hard I couldn’t talk for awhile after seeing those movies. And Pan’s Labyrinth (while a good movie) was bad because I was sort of on a date and we hadn’t been dating long and here I was crying uncontrollably, it wasn’t pretty.
:sexiest actor in your opinion: Seb is bae.
:worst song you’ve ever heard: Christmas Shoes. Like ... worst song ever written. Ever recorded. WTF. A kid begs for a pair of shoes on Christmas Eve for his dying mother so she can be pretty for Jesus when she meets him?

can you answer all of the gay questions? the ones that apply to you i guess
Oh my. Lol yeah I’d be glad to do that!Here we go1. describe your idea of a perfect date-My idea of a perfect date has always been simply cuddling and talking. I just like the idea of spending intimate quality time with whoever I’m involved with.
2. whats your “type”-Physical appearance is pretty low in my list of things I care about in a guy. I think personality is what makes people attractive but I will say, pale skin always gets my gears going.
3. do you want kids?-Yes! Absolutely. I fact, the desire to have biological children was one of the main things holding me back from accepting the fact that I was gay, but I’ve come to realise I’d love any child just as much. I think the ideal situation would be to have a boy and a girl!
4. if you do, will you adopt or use some other form of child birth?-Lol well I suppose I just answered this. As of right now, I’m not entirely sure. I think that’s a discussion and decision to be had and made with whoever I decide to have a child with.
5. describe the cutest date you’ve ever been on-It was actually a first date that I had once. We went to get ice cream in the evening and ended up sitting in my car and inn the parking lot until like 12:30 at night. We laughed and talked and it was really lovely.
6. describe your experience having sex for the first time (were you nervous? or was it easy peasy?)-Oh gosh, I mean is anyone not nervous their first time? Due to some negative experiences early on in my life, what I do consider to be my “first time” wasn’t technically, but it was sort of awkward and cute and looking back it was really sweet and pleasant. There isn’t anything would change.
7. are you a morning time gay or night time gay?-NIGHT TIME GAY!! Always have and will be.
8. opinion on nap dates?-Love!! They are perfect and I want one. So like if you wanna be NY boyfriend and you live close to Indiana hmu lol.
9. opinion on brown eyes?-i have brown eyes and I hate them on my self but that look lovely on others.
10. dog gay or cat gay?-Dog gay
11. would you ever date someone who owned rodents or reptiles?-Yes? Lol
12. whats a turn off you look for before you start officially dating someone-Im very into monogamous and committed relationships and sadly a lot of gays my age and of our generation aren’t.

ASTROLOGY REPORTS AND HOROSCOPES FOR 7-2-17

DAILY ASTROLOGY TODAY MONTHLY Astrology of Today – Sunday, July 2, 2017
Jul 1, 2017 by ANNIE LEAVE A COMMENT
The Moon is in Libra until 12:59 PM, after which the Moon is in Scorpio. The Moon is void from 9:16 AM to 12:59 PM. The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter Moon phase. The First Quarter Moon occurred on June 30th, and a Full Moon will occur in Capricorn on July 9th. Times are EDT. Horoscopes Aries
Power struggles within the family circle or buried problems emerge today with a Mars-Pluto opposition, dear Aries. It can be difficult to relinquish control even if you know it’s for the best. Work or family matters can be heated and serve to rile you up. Take a deep breath and avoid obsessive thoughts that may border on paranoia now. Pressures will ease as you go forward, particularly if you aim to approach problems step by step. As the day progresses, excellent energy is with you, in fact, for pacing yourself, particularly with creative pursuits. This can be a good time for gentle discipline or boundary-building with others.
Taurus
Opinions can bother you quite deeply today, dear Taurus, and so can the words people choose to express themselves as Mars opposes Pluto across your communications sector this morning. You might consider that something may be hitting the nerve of a deeper issue if you’re getting worked up too much on what is said. Avoid confrontations if you can, as there is rather provocative energy with us today. However, it’s wise to observe and learn from frustrations that emerge and their trigger points. As the day advances, you’re in an excellent position to build trust in an intimate or close relationship as well as to add some structure to your home life. Improvements are in focus.
Gemini
Who’s doing their share, and who isn’t? These questions can take center stage today, dear Gemini, but the answers may not be rational or clear for the time being. As Mars opposes Pluto in your resources and sharing sectors this morning, matters related to the sharing of power or money can be tricky. Changes are necessary in an intimate relationship, and circumstances conspire to show you this fact. Conflicts over money or possessions may disguise deeper issues. As the day advances, you’ll find it easier to focus on what’s practical. It’s a good time to make reasonable and informed decisions in relationships. Partnering up to get something done makes the most sense now.
Cancer
Situations seem to be “either-or” this morning, dear Cancer, while a compromise, as elusive as it may seem, may be the best solution. You don’t want to tolerate being controlled, manipulated, or coerced right now. Stand your ground, and avoid playing the same game that others are playing. Buried frustrations may erupt or come to a head, and it can be a little tricky, but bringing something that seems dark into the light may very well be a surprising relief. As the day advances, it’s easier to focus on what needs doing. Practical matters fare much better today than emotional ones, which can be loaded.
Leo
Others may not be very cooperative in the first half of the day, dear Leo, and you may not be either! Stubbornness is likely to frustrate right now. Power struggles on the job might ensue, and the little things tend to irritate most, especially if there are disrupted schedules to deal with or if others are interfering with your methods or process. Seek peace and quiet away from the storm, but if you need to get something out in the open or out of your system, this may be your opportunity. As the day advances, you’re likely to let go of tension and pour your energy into projects over which you have more control. You can be in an especially productive frame of mind and might feel completely dedicated to a venture or a person. You may be showing your devotion through actions or in practical ways.
Virgo
People can demand a lot from you in the first half of the day, dear Virgo, but if you look more closely, it’s really about their insecurities and fear, as these things are likely to be driving their desire to control. You don’t need to prove yourself in the face of unreasonable demands. Calm reassurance is best. A romantic relationship or feelings and concerns about someone can become heated today. As the day advances, you’re inclined to seek out productive and constructive activities, however, and you’re less likely to dwell on emotional complications. Building relationships with family can be in focus. You may be helping others out, and your dedication is appreciated.
Libra
Any confrontations around you early today have control and power written all over them, dear Libra, and you may feel caught in the middle. There may also be tricky issues with family and authority figures to deal with now. Everyone seems to want their way, and few are conceding, which leads to rather tense scenarios. Don’t allow someone to try to control or manipulate you, but know how to approach the situation with care. As the day advances, you prefer to focus on building up your relationships or projects. Support of — or from — a friend may come through constructive conversations.
Scorpio
Misunderstandings in the first half of the day tend to stem from taking things — especially ideas, opinions, and words — too personally, dear Scorpio. Opt for self-control, even if you feel provoked. Consider intentions, and avoid impulsive moves right now. There is confrontational energy with us that can lead to a significant release, but try to be mindful of what you say and how you say it. As the day advances, you’re likely to tap into straightforward and productive energy for work, money, business, and practical affairs. Your choices are reasonable, and the more productive you are, the better you feel.
Sagittarius
Watch for impulsiveness with money, resources, or relationships in the first half of the day, dear Sagittarius, as chances are high that you may be making bad moves and poor choices, not to mention the general frustration that can ensue. Ownership matters — who owns what and who does what — can be issues on the table now and can lead to a tug of war situation that has no winners. However, as the day advances, you’re in a particularly excellent position to develop a pet project or your studies. You can be feeling good about your work and commitments and derive a sense of satisfaction from self-discipline.
Capricorn
Resist attempting to control someone today who is acting in a brash or pushy manner, dear Capricorn. Others’ behaviors seem to be assertions of independence or attempts to prove to you, in so many ways, that you’re not needed, and this can be frustrating. However, backing off is probably the better defense right now. Nobody wins when manipulative tactics are employed. Even so, if frustrations need a release, this may be the push to do so, but it’s better to do so mindfully. As the day advances, complex relationship dynamics are less of a concern as you interest yourself more in being productive. You may feel pleasantly devoted to someone or a pet project, or you can feel stronger for supporting someone now.
Aquarius
Stay clear of power struggles and confrontations today, dear Aquarius, as they seem to crop up all too quickly with the provocative energy of a Mars-Pluto influence this morning. Frustrations about schedules, duties, obligations, and lack of time to yourself can reach a head. Fears that you’re not doing enough or performing at your peak can undermine you now, making you feel tense, or you may worry about the discovery of a secret. Learn from what seems to trigger you today and work on a plan to tackle it gradually rather than succumb to pressures to deal with it all at once. As the day advances, you are in an excellent position to show your support and dedication to someone or a cause.
Pisces
A power struggle may occur early today, dear Pisces, likely involving a friend or lover, and may very well be about attention or recognition. Money or boundaries could also be an issue. It’s a butt your head against the wall type of energy, however, so nobody truly wins. You may feel it’s best to stay out of it, but if something needs releasing, this can be a time for turning a corner. Later today, you’re likely to feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or a program to improve health. Self-discipline comes more naturally than usual.

Astrology of Today – The Details: If you’re astrologically inclined and interested in the details of the Astrology of today, here are some of the factors considered in the forecasts (for the astrology of the week, see This Week in Astrology):
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 12:59 pm Event: Moon enters Scorpio Description: The Moon in Scorpio Contemplate the deeper things in life. Avoid unnecessary conflict, but if it’s going to improve your life, go ahead and make waves. Tune in to your intuition. This is a good time for investigations, looking into a matter further, doing research, connecting to others with a shared passion, solving a mystery, and devising a strategy. When the Moon in Scorpio is strained, we may take our passions too far.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 9:16 am Event: Moon goes void of course
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 3:40 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sxt Nod Description: Transiting Moon Sextile Transiting North Node A good time for dealing with the public, for making connections, and for taking positive steps towards a personal or professional goal.

Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 6:18 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Tri Cer Description: Transiting Moon Trine Transiting Ceres We can be feeling pleasantly attached to, or supported by, our loved ones or family.

Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 7:31 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Qnx Ven Description: Transiting Moon Quincunx Transiting Venus Love relationships or feelings can be unsettled. There can be a conflict experienced between family and friends/lovers, or between comfort and the pursuit of pleasure. Try to relax and not obsess, and show restraint.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 9:16 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Opp Ura Description: Transiting Moon Opposition Transiting Uranus Life may be a little tense right now. Avoid willful behavior if the situation doesn’t call for it. Remain open to new possibilities and all will be revealed. There could be a surprising revelation or turning point. Unpredictable responses from others (and ourselves). Emotional eruptions are possible. Not a good time to make permanent decisions, particularly about relationships.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 10:44 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Qnx Chi Description: Transiting Moon Quincunx Transiting Chiron Hurt feelings may be opportunities for healing. Now is the time for building bridges, not burning them.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 11:23 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqq Nep Description: Transiting Moon SesquiSquare Transiting Neptune If we are not in touch with our need for inspiration, beauty, compassion, connection to something otherworldly, or our spirituality, we could feel out of sorts right now. Relaxing, listening to music, getting close to nature, or taking a break may resolve this.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 12:42 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Pll Nep Description: Transiting Moon Parallel Transiting Neptune
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 12:59 pm Event: Tr-Na Mon Cnj Sco Description: Transiting Moon Entering Scorpio Contemplate the deeper things in life.

Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 4:19 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Opp Pal Description: Transiting Moon Opposition Transiting Pallas We can be at odds with one another over a mental or intellectual matter, belief, or idea now. It takes extra effort to understand one another.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 9:12 am Event: Tr-Tr Sun Opp Jun Description: Transiting Sun Opposition Transiting Juno Problems in a relationship, likely to do with power dynamics, may reach some sort of head right now, and a confrontation is possible. We may have difficulty relating to one another if we are not treating each other as equals. There can be temptations to manipulate in order to get our way. There can be jealousy or lack of trust that interferes with healthy interactions. Conceding may feel as if we are giving up something of ourselves, but coming to a balance or compromise is quite possible now.
Date & Time: Jul 2 2017 7:29 am Event: Tr-Tr Mer Qnx Sat Description: Transiting Mercury Quincunx Transiting Saturn Delays, uncertainty, or second-guessing ideas and decisions can slow us down.

Independent work is favored. We are more disciplined and efficient.
Strong Signs, Elements, Modes CANCER STRONG Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive. LIBRA STRONG Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action. WATER STRONG We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions. FIXED WEAK We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through. MUTABLE WEAK We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun. We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 2nd: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying  aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over.  Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN LIBRA We are focused on our relationships, and finding balance, peace, and harmony in our personal environment under this influence.
30TH DEGREE OF LIBRA Part of Body: Left ureter Sabian Symbol: Three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher’s head.
ASPECTS OF THE MOON SQUARE MERCURY Orb 5°51′ Separating It’s difficult to make decisions now as emotional needs and wants tend to conflict with what we feel are the most logical choices. Judgment may be skewed by emotions or personal bias.
OPPOSITION URANUS Orb 1°22′ Separating We can be moody, swinging between wanting to belong and wanting to be different or independent. We can feel a little off-balance if schedules and people around us are unpredictable or changing; or, we are restless with the usual routine and want to create some kind of stir.
QUINCUNX CHIRON Orb 0°38′ Separating We could be misjudging our sensitivity levels and making poor choices as a result. Decisions made now may not reflect our hearts, and can be regrettable later on.
THE SUN
THE SUN IN CANCER Our attention is turned to our nest – our families, homes, and anything that makes us feel at home, safe, and secure. We take more pride in these things. We are more inclined to nurture and take care of our loved ones and our pet projects.
11TH DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: Gastric veins Sabian Symbol: A clown making grimaces.
ASPECTS OF THE SUN CONJUNCTION MARS Orb 7°28′ Applying We are more direct, spontaneous, and impulsive now, but can also be too self-focused and impatient.
SQUARE JUPITER Orb 3°02′ Applying There can be exaggerated good moods or a tendency to go over the top now. Clashes of ego can occur.
TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 3°14′ Applying We are able to see matters, and people, from a perspective that allows for, and finds beauty in, differences. We may be recognizing our more charitable, altruistic, and compassionate urges.
OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 7°21′ Applying We may be struggling with issues of power and competition. There can be a feeling that external circumstances are undermining our own feeling of powerfulness. Through our encounters and reactions, we may be able to get in touch with our internal motivations.
MERCURY
MERCURY IN CANCER You place importance on communication within the family. Information about your family and its background is also important to you. For instance you may like to collect family photos or study family history. You look after yourself and others by communicating emotional issues.
24TH DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: Blood vessels of digestive organs Sabian Symbol: A woman and two men on a bit of sunlit land facing south.
ASPECTS OF MERCURY CONJUNCTION MARS Orb 5°13′ Separating Questions are raised, discussions can become heated, and there can be nervous excitement now. Enthusiasm is strong, particularly for ideas and topics. Impulsive speech or other communications, and possibly lacking in sensitivity. Resourcefulness.
QUINCUNX SATURN Orb 0°22′ Separating Delays, uncertainty, or second-guessing ideas and decisions can slow us down. Adjustments or reassessments may need to be made now, particularly related to important and realistic details that need our attention. Communications may miss the mark.
SQUARE URANUS Orb 4°28′ Applying Original ideas but perhaps too radical or disorganized, or perceived as such. There can be mental or nervous tension experienced now. Mistakes can be made due to impatience.
OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 5°20′ Separating We can experience pressure to decide or come to a conclusion. Second-guessing and suspicion are possible now.
TRINE CHIRON Orb 5°13′ Applying We can be more understanding and sympathetic to others now, particularly when it comes to sensitivity with what or how we communicate. We might talk or learn about healing methods.
VENUS
VENUS IN TAURUS For you romance and reliability go hand in hand. You approach relationships slowly and steadily, looking for someone who will prove solid and secure. You enjoy sensuality, and are reliable with finances.
28TH DEGREE OF TAURUS Part of Body: Deltoid muscle and main neck muscles Sabian Symbol: A mature woman reawakened to romance.
ASPECTS OF VENUS SEXTILE CHIRON Orb 1°25′ Applying You are a caring and loving partner. You understand your partner’s struggles.
MARS
MARS IN CANCER We are less likely to move straightforwardly towards our desires now. Our emotional moods especially affect the pursuit of our goals. We are a little more cautious and conservative under this influence, but we will fight for, about, or on behalf of those people and things that are dearest to our heart.
19TH DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: Ampulla of bile duct Sabian Symbol: A priest performing a marriage ceremony.
ASPECTS OF MARS SQUARE JUPITER Orb 4°25′ Separating Our fighting, defending spirits are strong. We might be on a crusade. We could be too quick to take offense or to make judgments. Avoid unnecessary conflict and overreaching. Direct excess energy into positive enterprises for positive results rather than adding more to your agenda.
TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 4°13′ Separating Inspiration might be found now, and our intuition is strong. There can be letting go of anger, or a softening of the disposition. Creative arts, particularly physical ones, are favored.
OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 0°06′ Separating We may be looking for the upper hand and resisting others’ control. Resentments come to the surface. Competitive feelings.
JUPITER
JUPITER IN LIBRA You have a strong concern for justice. You are a diplomatic teacher, and express your spiritual values in your relationships.
14TH DEGREE OF LIBRA Part of Body: Left inguinal lymph nodes Sabian Symbol: A noon siesta.
ASPECTS OF JUPITER QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 0°11′ Applying You feel a call to serve others perhaps through a profession or through religion. You will need to learn what is reasonable to do for others, and what is over stepping the boundary of your responsibility.
SQUARE PLUTO Orb 4°18′ Applying You will need to learn to have confidence in yourself even when life deals you a few blows. You range from over confident to completely lacking in confidence. The truth lies somewhere in between.
SATURN
SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS Saturn in Sagittarius asks us to take on the responsibility of living according to our personal truths and principles — and to be loyal to these. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those beliefs and principles that don’t accurately reflect our authentic selves. (December 23, 2014, to June 14, 2015, then September 17, 2015, to December 20, 2017)
24TH DEGREE OF SAGITTARIUS Part of Body: Popliteal fossa Sabian Symbol: A bluebird standing at the door of the house.
ASPECTS OF SATURN TRINE URANUS Orb 4°51′ Separating You have a talent for investigation. You look at new ideas and are able then to put them into action. In business you achieve much in your own independent way.
URANUS
URANUS IN ARIES The urge to start fresh, to break free from restrictive attitudes or circumstances, to totally redesign an area of our lives (or even our personalities), and to gain freedom through independence is strong during this cycle. (May 27, 2010, to August 13, 2010, then March 11th, 2011, to May 15, 2018, then November 6, 2018, to March 6, 2019).

  uhhhh.  i am not fond of my body.  i guess i like my slim wrists and long, slim fingers. how many fillings do you have?   hell if i know. describe your fashion:   if i had the money (and permission from my mother, as she buys my clothes, rip) i would absolutely dress gothic.  it's my aesthetic, big time.  gothic clothes just tend to be very expensive.  i also love graphic tees, and in general tend to look geekish. do you wear a watch?   nope. are you a vegetarian?   no. do you think meat is murder?   i mean, technically, yeah, but at the same time, i don't think it's wrong. your view on drinking:   do it responsibly, and we're fine. your view on pornography:   fucking gross. your view on pre-marital sex:   i really don't know anymore??  i was and i guess i still am abstinent, but i question it.  like the main reason i'm abstinent is because of religious reasons, but after all, half the old testament was forgiven by jesus' coming, yada yada yada, it may not even be "wrong" anymore.  besides that, i just really, really love(d) jason.  now i'm going to regret for the rest of my life the fact i didn't let him fully get to know me in every way possible.  if he, by some god-given miracle, comes back, i'm leaving my abstinence at my feet.  whether it's wrong or right.  because i'll sin for that man. have you ever slept in a water bed?   yeah. how do you feel about having sex during your menstrual period?   i personally wouldn't.  sounds messy. how do you feel about anal sex?   ew. does your ex have a job?    yup. share 3 nice memories you have of the person you fell hardest for.   OH MY GOD, only three?  i'll try to narrow it down to the best, this may take awhile.  1.) dancing in the headlights of his car in my front yard to "stairway to heaven"  2.) me storming into his kitchen to playfully tell him off, only to slide on the floor and land on my ass; we laughed/sobbed for like ten minutes  3.) us lying on his floor, binge-watching "supernatural" while he was moving into his new room, and it ended in him seeing me naked for the first time and still treating me like i was beautiful. tell me about the person you had your first kiss with. how do you feel about that person now?   you want a novel, fam? how old were you when you entered your first relationship?   idk the age, i just know i was in the 7th grade. are there any songs you can’t listen to because they remind you of someone/something?   yup. do you have a tumblr crush?   nah. have you ever found yourself worrying about commitment?   no, and though i don't judge people who do worry about commitment (jason was at the beginning of our relationship when i asked him what his biggest fear was), i don't understand it.  like... it's not a hard concept.  don't commit, ex. get married to a person, if you see any potential issue. has anyone of the opposite sex seen you at your worst?   yep. would you live with someone without marrying them first?   i have before, and i'd do it again. do you believe your most recent ex still thinks about you?   i honestly don't know.  it'd be nice, but i don't know if he truly does. have you ever kissed someone while they were driving?   jesus christ do i want to die? what would you do if your best friend went after your ex the day after you split?   LMAAOOOOOO DON'T. have you ever self harmed?   yup. do you have a birthmark? if so, where?   actually no, i think. were your parents married when you were born?   yeah. when you need to vent, who do you turn to?   mom, usually. do you get a lot of tourists in the area where you live? if so, are there more tourists during a particular time of the year?   i don't think i've EVER seen someone obviously a tourist here, because this part of north carolina ain't shit??? what's the strangest or most interesting compliment you've ever received?   hm, not entirely sure. when you're upset, do you tend to make rash decisions?   YUP. do you prefer to shop online or in an actual store, and why?   online, definitely.  i just tend to find more variety. do you enjoy watching vlogs? if so, are there any specific people or topics you enjoy watching in particular?   yeah, they're all right.  like when pokemon go came out, i particularly got interested in three vlogers of the subject (trainer tips, ali-a, and lachlan).  pretty sure there are other vlogers i watch occasionally, i'm not sure... what was the last new video game you were excited about?   THE LAST GUARDIAN OMG what band/singer do you listen to the most?   i mean it really does depend on my mood and if i've discovered a new artist or not. what’s your favorite quote?   i have SO MANY.  i guess i can pick one that applies most/means most to me, though: "harleen, what did he tell you?" "he said he loved me" from suicide squad.  i nearly broke down in the theater when she said that 'cuz if that ain't me like holy shit.  a very simple quote, but it carries SO MUCH WEIGHT. have you ever dated someone that was a different race than you?   for less than a day, if you even count him. how old is your best friend?   21. do you like writing papers for english classes?   i honestly didn't mind it.  give me a subject, and i can usually write, hunny. don’t edited versions of songs annoy you?   they tend to, yes. if your ex suddenly kissed you right now, what would you do?   without saying a word to me?  i'd either a.) slap him or b.) grab his face and kiss him back.  lmao i know, totally opposite ends of the spectrum, but.  i really don't know which would come first. is your best friend dating anyone?   she's married. do you like lady gaga or does she try too hard?   as a person, she's wildly unique, which i have great respect for.  as an artist, i, surprisingly, like a couple of her songs. where did you last wear a bathing suit?   the beach. have you ever dressed unlike yourself to impress a guy?   i've said this before in another survey: is that not prom?  it's not like i'd go everyday in a big, extravagant dress.  the other day as well, i didn't dress unlike myself, but i seriously did it up because i thought i'd be "running into" jason, so. if you were offered to smoke some weed right now would you accept?   idk, probably not. have you ever done something outrageously dumb?   sure have. have you ever changed clothes in a vehicle?   yep. do you go to the mall on friday nights?   no, because i don't want to get shot. do you listen to country music?

  meerkat stuff.  silent hill merchandise.  band stuff.  jaybird feathers. do you have any nieces or nephews? describe them.   aubree is very lively, but can be shy.  she loves minnie mouse and dory.  ryder is just a baby, so doesn't have much of a personality, really.  at least that i can detect. when was the last time you were sick?

2. whats your “type” answered
3. do you want kids? Yes I would love to have kids some day

13. what is a misconception you had about lgbt people before you realized you were one? That they were evil people and that I was stay away from them. Being raised in the South and especially by a religious family who believes being gay is sinful has influenced my feelings towards the LGBT community ever since I was young. I am proud to say I no longer feel that way and that I’m proud I’m part of such a loving community.
14. what is a piece of advice you would give to your younger self: Honestly just screw what others think of you. Be yourself and don’t be afraid to show your true colors. Stop being a chameleon around others just cuz you’re afraid you’ll offend them. Dare to love, dare to be yourself

27. what is a piece of advice you have for young / baby gays: Don’t let anyone bully you for being straight out of the closet. And don’t let labels define you. You are allowed to be yourself and hey if you don’t feel the same way like you did when you came out then you have a right to change your mind. Don’t let anyone take that away from you
28. are you out? if so how did you come out: I’m out to most everyone except my parents and religious friends (they are friends with my parents). The first time I came out was to my roommate when we were in a host-el in Japan. I took a “are you straight or not” quiz and kept getting I was definitely not straight. We ended up talking and I eventually came out to her. Now when I tell someone I test the waters first by mentioning some of my friends who are LGBT or something similar.
29. what is the most uncomfortable / strange coming out experience you have: I’ve not really had any uncomfortable experiences coming out but I’ve had someone avoid talking to me becuz of the stress it put on her when I told her I am gay. That and she was afraid I had a crush on her
30. what is a piece of advice for people who may not be in a safe place to express their sexuality: I know it’s hard and you may feel like you’re alone but one day you can open up and be who you are without persecution from others. You’ll have a loving community just waiting to for you. Be strong and look to a brighter future with a loving community by your side. We’re here, I promise

Blurb of Annie's birthday... Matty brings a cake to school to celebrate his little baby's special day... he stays a little while...
I'm loving all the blurbs
oh, I'm so glad you are loving the blurbs!!! I am loving writing them, little Annie Healy has my heart.
Anyway, yes yes yes I love this idea so much omg. 
(Can Ace write anything without saying “smile” and “eyes” 1000 times… wait and see!! (the answer is no.) Also, timeline wise this makes absolutely 0 sense but… I do not care!! All that matters is the vibe <33)
It's Monday when Annie comes in very proudly and announces “Miss y/n, I'm six on Friday” with her chest puffed out and a big smile on her face.
You pretend you don't know, despite having seen it on the system last week, “Is it really Annie? Wow! You're growing up so quickly” You smile down at her as she nods along to your words, holding her bookbag (do other countries have these? idk) in one hand and the other hand out, ready to gesture with when she spoke.
“My daddy says the same thing.” she starts. Then her face lights up further, “You know my daddy is coming in on Friday!! He asked Mrs Richards and she said that he could come and bring a cake for everyone!!” she recounts excitedly before her face drops, and she suddenly gets very serious. “But you can't tell anyone that miss y/n, it's a secret. Pinky promise?”
You smile at her but soon put on a fake stern face to match hers. You drop to her eye line, stick your finger out, and link it with hers, “I promise Annie. Now, how about you go put your bookbag away so we can get started?” she doesn't respond but instead nods and shuffles off to set her bag down.
Leaving you standing and reeling that Matty is coming in on Friday, in peak proud dad mode, to celebrate his daughter (who you love.) fuck. This was going to make your head spin.
/////////////
cut to the actual day, and Annie comes in wearing a little badge and a hat. You see Matty drop her off from the classroom. you totally weren't staring out the window waiting to see him arrive or anything…
he wasn't even really dressed up, just a chequered button-up and jeans. but for some reason, he still made your heart race. seeing him bend down and give her a kiss on the cheek, and a big hug almost made you audibly sigh, but you caught yourself before you did. because that would be inappropriate, you didn't have any feelings for him. none at all. totally neutral.
Annie came bounding in, a massive smile on her face showing off her gappy smile. she'd very proudly come in the week before talking about losing one of her teeth, and now, every time she smiled, her gaps were on show.
class started, and to avoid Annie literally buzzing with excitement all day, you allowed her to announce to the class the news of her big day.
with the happiest face you could imagine, she said, "It's my birthday today! I'm 6 and my daddy is going to come in with cake for everyone!" 
a chorus of cheers came out as you sat behind your desk, trying to stop your grin from growing an unreasonable amount. 
soon enough, you got the class back in order, and the day whizzed past. Suddenly, it was 2:30, and there was a knock on the door.
matty stuck his head around the door and quickly met your eyes, "hi" he breathed out, staring at you with adoration in his eyes.
“Hi” you breathed out in the same way. For a few seconds, you both stood there with stupid grins on your faces staring into each other's eyes. Of course, in a classroom of 5 and 6-year-olds, that peaceful staring didn't last long. But it simultaneously felt like a quick glance and a full minute.
Annie comes running out of her seat and to the door. Matty quickly catches on and comes fully into the classroom, managing to hold a cake in one hand and hugging his very excited daughter with the other.
“Daddy!!” she squeals with excitement, bouncing in her dad's arms as he tries desperately to balance a cake. Over the young girl's shoulder, he shoots you a worried glance, and you snap out of your trance and come to grab the cake.
“Ah yes, let me just grab this,” you say, and Matty smiles graciously at you. His other hand quickly scooped Annie up into his arms to greet her properly.
“Hi, peanut!! You have a good birthday?” he asks. His eyes flick between his daughter, babbling on about her day, and you standing at your desk showing a room full of mesmerised children the cake he brought.
In between his daughter's rambling stories, he manages to catch you chatting to the kids, “Yes Annie's dad Mat-” You pause and catch yourself before you slip, flicking your head up and making brief eye contact with Matty. “Mr. Healy brought us all cake! Let's all sit in our seats and get ready to say thank you like we practised!”
Matty's face briefly scrunched in confusion, but you did nothing to answer his silent question, only shooting him a sweet smile and spinning around to walk to the front of the room. The combination of the cheeky smile and the way your dress moved as you spun had Matty's brain stuttering through his thoughts.
Annie was still chattering along, completely oblivious to her dad being completely enamoured with the woman in front of him. She soon saw her classmates all in their seats and was wriggling out of her dad's arms, trying to join her friends.
Matty comes to join you at the front of the room, fighting every urge in his body to wrap you up in a hug. He wants nothing more than to grab you by the waist and pull you in, burying his face into your neck and breathing in the vaguely sweet smell that follows you around. He thinks about how his other arm would swing around your shoulder and pull you impossibly closer. Your arms would come around him, and he would feel you hum in enjoyment at the contact.
But he doesn't do that. He simply waves in a way that makes him feel so uncool that he internally cringes. You giggle at his clear discomfort and copy his wave, tilting your head teasingly at him. 
You somehow manage to wrangle your mind back to the task at hand, you clap your hands and grab your classes attention. “Right! Everyone, this is Annie's dad, Mr. Healy!” Matty cringes at you not using his name, loving the way it sounds coming out of your mouth.
“As you can see, he has been very kind and brought us a cake to share! Can we all say thank you?”
Matty was staring at you, lost in watching you work, but soon the ensemble of small voices wrang out, pulling his attention away from you.
“Thank you, Mr. Healy!!” says the sea of children in front of him, Matty looks out at the crowd, used to the number of people but not quite the age range. He sees a mob of gappy teeth and excited faces and can't help but mirror them.
“Wow! You guys are welcome! I hope you all like it. It's already cut up... sooo-” he looks over to you for further instruction, and you snap back into teacher mode quickly.
“Okay! Everyone, can we all line up in register order for our cake?” Some groans come from the crowd, but you quickly catch them, “and don't worry if you're near the end. There is enough cake for everyone! I promise.” You smile and wave your hand, and soon enough, each child falls into line, all bubbling with anticipation.
//////////
Quiet music plays through the classroom speakers, and the noise of children chatting and giggling permeates the room. At the front of the room, you are leaning against the desk as Matty stands in front of you with his hands in his pockets.
He stands with joy written all over his face as you continue to laugh at his stories and jokes, the sound of your laughter ringing in his ears in the best way possible. It's so melodic that Matty has the fleeting thought to record it and use it in a track.
“So you used a scooter to get to the smaller stage” you laugh, staring at Matty with an impressed yet questioning look. As he nods, his curls bounce. You briefly get distracted by how perfect they are, but his resonant voice brings you back to earth. 
“An electric scooter, I'm not just furiously pushing myself on a razor scooter in the middle of a concert” Matty corrects, looking faux offended at your forgetfulness. 
“Oh yes, sorry and electric scooter, of course.” You say nodding, “I don't suppose there's any video of this that I can see? I think I need to witness it.” You smile at him.
Matty pauses briefly, weighing up and showing you the video. On one hand, he can get closer to you to show his phone but on the other, you get to see a mildly embarrassing video of him whizzing away to the sound of “Vroom Vroom” by Charli xcx. 
You take his silence as offence and quickly start stuttering apologies, “Oh I'm sorry if that's too personal, you don't have to show me. I was just-” Before you talk so much it makes you dizzy, Matty cuts in. 
“Oh no don't worry love,” the nickname slips out without a second thought, Matty doesn't even consider it but you are sure you'll be thinking of his voice saying that on repeat for the next week, “I was just thinking how embarrassing this is going to be, but you're right. You do need to see it. Just promise me you won't think less of me, yeah?”
He makes intense eye contact as finishes, and you can't help but blurt out what you think of immediately, “I could never think less of you.”
A silent beat passes, and Matty doesn't say anything, just bashfully smiles and grabs his phone.
//////
Too soon for your liking, 3 pm comes, and it's almost time to leave, but before everyone goes, you have one more thing to do.
“Okay I have to play teacher now, sorry,” you say to Matty, standing up. He nods and steps back, letting you get everyone's attention and speak.
“It's almost time for our mummies and daddies to pick us up, so let's all do one last thing before we go today. As you all know, it's Annie's birthday,” Matty watches his daughter's eyes light up at being mentioned, “so let's all sing her happy birthday!”
You count them in, and the class starts singing to Annie, you and Matty included. Matty watches you sing for his daughter, pure joy on your face and a grin that makes his knees weaken.
The song ends, and everyone claps, just in time for the bell to ring, and you send them off. “Okay everyone that's the bell! Go grab your stuff and meet your mums and dads in the playground, Mrs Richards will be out there to help you find them if you need it!”
You wave each of them out until it's just you, Matty and Annie in the room. You spin around and bend down to her level, “Did you have a good birthday sweetheart?”
Her toothy grin comes out again, and she nods furiously, “Especially because my daddy came in, that was really fun” she says, looking up at Matty and grabbing his hand.
“I had so much fun too, sweetheart! Let's get going though, yeah? You've got Grandad and nanny at home waiting to see you!!” Matty says to his daughter, who immediately starts dragging him away and saying bye to you.
You laugh and wave them off, “bye Annie!!” You say excitedly. You make a point of lifting your eyes and meeting Matty’s.
“Bye Matty” you say softly, waving at him the same way he greeted you earlier.
He simply grins and waves back before returning his attention back to his daughter and continuing to be dragged away.

DAILY ASTROLOGY TODAY MONTHLY Astrology of Today – Saturday, July 1, 2017
Jun 30, 2017 by ANNIE LEAVE A COMMENT
The Moon is in Libra. The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter Moon phase. The First Quarter Moon occurred yesterday, and a Full Moon will occur in Capricorn on July 9th. Chiron turns retrograde today (Chiron is retrograde from July 1-December 5). Times are EDT. Horoscopes Aries
Try your best not to get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong today, dear Aries. With the Moon in your partnership sector, you can be particularly interested in keeping the peace, but it can be challenging and perhaps exhausting to reach a compromise, although not impossible! A difference of opinion may become too personal today and may even bring you down for awhile. It may be better to walk away and let it go. This can also be a time when you feel overwhelmed by family or household activities but can’t quite pull yourself away, either!
Taurus
You can feel particularly sensitive to imbalances in your environment today, dear Taurus, and you can feel strongly about tidying things up or handling flaws and small problems. However, distractions can be great, particularly personal interests, social discourse, and relationships! You could find someone a little insensitive or unsympathetic later today, and communications can be a little off with Mercury in challenging aspect to Saturn. You might experience blocks to your plans related to fear, worry, or financial realities. This may very well be a push to refine and improve your plans or projects.
Gemini
You may be in an indulgent and generous mood today, but tonight, there may be a concern that brings you down to reality or a challenging decision, dear Gemini. You might be thinking about things more than usual today, particularly money and valuables as well as relationship matters. It’s better to weigh options rather than force major decisions with these things today. Negotiations may fail to completely satisfy and possibly could make things worse at the moment. A significant other may seem a little distant, unsympathetic, or disapproving at the moment, particularly if you’re being frivolous. It can be a challenge to agree today.
Cancer
The Moon spends the day in your home and family sector, dear Cancer, and you are likely to crave familiarity and comfort. However, relationship matters can distract you and keep you on the edge of your seat. Try to keep your expectations of others AND yourself reasonable today. With Mercury in your sign, you are more inclined to live in the head, but today, an awkward aspect can lead you to dwell on the negative. You might be spending too much time on issues that you can’t change, or that won’t be a concern for very long, and this is a bit of a waste if it doesn’t make you feel good. There can be concerns related to energy levels, work, routines, or health that weigh on your mind but do your best not to overthink for best results today.
Leo
The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, dear Leo, and you’re likely to want to keep things light and play with different ideas. However, there can be some real distractions now that prevent you from taking things easy. We’re moving towards a Mercury-Saturn aspect that can leave you ambivalent as well as a Mars-Pluto aspect that can stir up frustrations and old, unresolved problems. Try to avoid getting too worked up about what others are doing or thinking. Obligations can eat up quite a bit of your day, so aim to clear up your duties rather than avoid them as they tend to hang in your aura anyhow. Focus on making adjustments rather than making bold moves today. Creatively speaking, you’re in fine form, and a partner can pull you out of a funk.
Virgo
You are seeking out comfort and some predictability as well today, dear Virgo, with the Moon in your resources sector all day. However, there can be plenty of interference to deal with. It’s not an ideal day for decision-making because worries and fears may undermine the process. Family obligations or others’ expectations can weigh on your mind, and if you let them assume too much importance, it can be difficult to relax and enjoy yourself. Look for ways to assuage guilt about not getting certain responsibilities done, either by making a plan to handle them or by recognizing that you need to adjust expectations. You may need to change or improve something you thought you put behind you, which can be irritating. Do your best not to overthink things.
Libra
The Moon in your sign all day can move your emotional needs and personal plans to the front burner, dear Libra, but you may not always find easy channels for expressing yourself today. In fact, you may find yourself in between others’ dilemmas, whether this is about mediating or overthinking problems. Practical issues or duties can feel pressing, and pressures from work, superiors, and family can also figure strongly now. You may be feeling quite stumped, sensing that you have to make a difficult decision. Worries and concerns stifle what could have been light and fun conversations. Make a plan for attending to your responsibilities so that you can rest — and live — easier.
Scorpio
There is a part of you that is feeling especially free and happy today, dear Scorpio, and another part that is worried or feeling guilty. This ambivalence is not your favorite place to be, so work on choosing a position and owning it. You may be wrestling with a decision, and while you can be a little too serious for your own good, this might serve as a push to do a reality check on a matter that is ultimately for the best. Look for ways to sharpen and refine plans and ideas now. It’s a good time for recognizing the need for adjustments. The Moon spending the day in your privacy sector points to the need to unwind, but it’s easier said than done today! Relationship or social drama is likely the main culprit.
Sagittarius
The Moon in your social sector suggests a desire to let go of pressures and unwind in good company today, dear Sagittarius. However, a need to be frugal, a reminder of a responsibility, or a feeling of being limited could undercut your good mood at times today, or it may prevent you from getting as close or intimate with someone as you’d like. This can be a thoughtful day, and quite excellent for making adjustments, but if your mind frequently strays to negative or stressed places, then it would be wise to treat the source of your concerns. If timing is off in a relationship, try not to take it too seriously or as a sign of something more. A situation may arise today that requires cutting your losses so that you can move on.
Capricorn
You can feel strongly about handling your work or obligations today, dear Capricorn, but it can be hard to turn all of your attention to your goals when relationships and personal matters seem to occupy much of your time. A lot is on your mind today, and you’re inclined to juggle different topics, worries, and concerns, making concentration on priorities a real challenge now. You may find it better to wait out a decision if you’re feeling a little stuck between alternatives, but this doesn’t mean you can’t be productive today. In fact, it can be a great day for making adjustments and refinements that truly benefit you down the road.
Aquarius
Practical details should be considered today, dear Aquarius, with a Mercury-Saturn influence in play, even if your social life is calling to you. Responsibilities can eat up a lot of your time, but you’re in generally good spirits and can rise above changes of plans and interruptions. You may be giving more thought than usual to work and health matters these days, but today, you’re inclined to worry rather than resolve problems. It’s not easy to come to the point of clarity on any one thing today with so much that you’re juggling right now, so aim to do your best with what you have and sort things through one step at a time. Weigh pros and cons but avoid overthinking today.
Pisces
Imbalances can be a focal point today, dear Pisces, but this can keep you in a state of limbo and unrest, so aim to make adjustments rather than obsessing over what’s out of whack. Tensions might arise with someone over issues of sharing and intimacy later today, and it can be difficult to say the right things or get to the point of conclusion and balance. Timing in relationships can be a little off right now, probably because you’re overthinking things. You’re paying more attention to your mind right now, and your heart hasn’t yet caught up. Remember that not everything can be reasoned out or rationalized and avoid seeking clear answers today. This way, answers will eventually come more organically, and you’ll have more faith in them that way.
*Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign. If you don’t know your Ascendant sign and know your birth time, you can look it up here.

Astrology of Today – The Details: If you’re astrologically inclined and interested in the details of the Astrology of today, here are some of the factors considered in the forecasts (for the astrology of the week, see This Week in Astrology):
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 0:00 am Event: Moon in Libra Description: The Moon in Libra This is a time for seeking out balance, harmony, and peace. It’s also a time to express emotions gracefully, diplomatically, and considerately. There could be a stronger focus on a relationship, partner, or potential partner. The ability to see both sides of a situation or story is a positive, but indecision can be a byproduct. This is a sociable, artistic Moon.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 0:13 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqr Jun Description: Transiting Moon Square Transiting Juno There may be clinging or controlling behavior if we are driven by our fears. Hypersensitivity and moodiness are possible. Tread lightly with tricky emotional issues.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 1:57 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Cpl Pal Description: Transiting Moon ContraParallel Transiting Pallas
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 5:31 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Cnj Jup Description: Transiting Moon Conjunction Transiting Jupiter We want to do good and to honor our inner code. We are generous with our energy, time, and money. Our feelings expand or are magnified, for better or for worse. It’s generally a good time to teach, learn, write, express ourselves, reach out, travel, publish, and promote. We may go over the top.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 6:05 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Qnx Nep Description: Transiting Moon Quincunx Transiting Neptune We could be feeling out of sorts. We are especially sensitive to subtle planes, but may not be able to make sense of what we perceive. We could be impractical just for now.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 12:41 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Cpl Chi Description: Transiting Moon ContraParallel Transiting Chiron
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 1:03 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqr Mar Description: Transiting Moon Square Transiting Mars We can overreact and exhibit impatience. However, this can also be a time of self-motivation. Our need for challenges and action is stimulated now, but we may not find the right outlets.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 2:05 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqr Plu Description: Transiting Moon Square Transiting Pluto Deeper feelings emerge suddenly, and possibly in a disruptive way. We may be over-reacting or going to extremes. Wait for the tension to subside before taking action.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 7:38 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Pll Jup Description: Transiting Moon Parallel Transiting Jupiter
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 10:15 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqr Mer Description: Transiting Moon Square Transiting Mercury We may not be communicating with sensitivity. What we communicate could misrepresent what we truly feel. There could be troubles with mechanics, computers, transportation, and miscommunications. We may not be understanding one another. We can be a little fickle and not especially objective. Think before you speak. Otherwise, misunderstandings are likely to occur. Count to ten if you’re feeling annoyed.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 11:05 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sxt Ves Description: Transiting Moon Sextile Transiting Vesta We can derive a nice feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment from tending to our responsibilities, work, or other commitment. We are more able to make sacrifices or put our emotions aside in order to get something important done. Alternatively, we can bring more sensitivity to our practical affairs. This can be a good time to commit fully to something – especially health and healing matters. It’s also a strong time for taking care of domestic matters.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 11:47 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sxt Sat Description: Transiting Moon Sextile Transiting Saturn An auspicious time for any project demanding endurance or tolerance. Also good for establishing new habits and rituals.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 11:52 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Pll Jun Description: Transiting Moon Parallel Transiting Juno
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 7:09 pm Event: Tr-Tr Sun SSq Nod Description: Transiting Sun SemiSquare Transiting North Node Efforts to achieve personal goals may be thwarted right now because we need to cooperate with others. This can sometimes correlate with a need to let go of a project, relationship, attitude, or conditions that have now become troublesome or counterproductive.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 5:08 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mer Pll Cer Description: Transiting Mercury Parallel Transiting Ceres
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 6:29 am Event: Tr-Tr Ven Sqq Jun Description: Transiting Venus SesquiSquare Transiting Juno This may be a self-centered, self-indulgent time. We might also resort to trickery or manipulation to get what we want, when a more direct route would be more appropriate. Power games can interfere with healthy relations.
Date & Time: Jul 1 2017 3:09 am Event: Tr Chi R Description: Transiting Chiron Stationary
Strong Signs, Elements, Modes CANCER STRONG Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive. LIBRA STRONG Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action. WATER STRONG We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions. FIXED WEAK We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through. MUTABLE WEAK We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun. We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on July 1st: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying  aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over.  Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
THE MOON
THE MOON IN LIBRA We are focused on our relationships, and finding balance, peace, and harmony in our personal environment under this influence.
18TH DEGREE OF LIBRA Part of Body: Fatty capsule of kidneys Sabian Symbol: Two men placed under arrest.
ASPECTS OF THE MOON SQUARE MERCURY Orb 4°25′ Applying It’s difficult to make decisions now as emotional needs and wants tend to conflict with what we feel are the most logical choices. Judgment may be skewed by emotions or personal bias.
SQUARE MARS Orb 0°30′ Applying We may be short-tempered and impatient, and can express our emotions in a raw, unpolished manner. We can resent others’ interference now.
CONJUNCTION JUPITER Orb 3°19′ Separating We want to honor our inner code. We are generous with our energy, time, and money. Our feelings expand or are magnified, for better or for worse. It’s generally a good time to teach, learn, write, express ourselves, reach out, travel, publish, and promote. We may go over the top, however.
SQUARE PLUTO Orb 1°04′ Applying Unacknowledged feelings can emerge in possibly disruptive ways. We may be acting in compulsive or possessive ways now.
THE SUN
THE SUN IN CANCER Our attention is turned to our nest – our families, homes, and anything that makes us feel at home, safe, and secure. We take more pride in these things. We are more inclined to nurture and take care of our loved ones and our pet projects.
11TH DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: Gastric veins Sabian Symbol: A clown making grimaces.
ASPECTS OF THE SUN CONJUNCTION MARS Orb 7°46′ Applying We are more direct, spontaneous, and impulsive now, but can also be too self-focused and impatient.
SQUARE JUPITER Orb 3°55′ Applying There can be exaggerated good moods or a tendency to go over the top now. Clashes of ego can occur.
TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 4°12′ Applying We are able to see matters, and people, from a perspective that allows for, and finds beauty in, differences. We may be recognizing our more charitable, altruistic, and compassionate urges.
OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 8°20′ Applying We may be struggling with issues of power and competition. There can be a feeling that external circumstances are undermining our own feeling of powerfulness. Through our encounters and reactions, we may be able to get in touch with our internal motivations.
MERCURY
MERCURY IN CANCER You place importance on communication within the family. Information about your family and its background is also important to you. For instance you may like to collect family photos or study family history. You look after yourself and others by communicating emotional issues.
22ND DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: Gastric mucosa Sabian Symbol: A woman awaiting a sailboat.
ASPECTS OF MERCURY CONJUNCTION MARS Orb 3°54′ Separating Questions are raised, discussions can become heated, and there can be nervous excitement now. Enthusiasm is strong, particularly for ideas and topics. Impulsive speech or other communications, and possibly lacking in sensitivity. Resourcefulness.
QUINCUNX SATURN Orb 1°39′ Applying Delays, uncertainty, or second-guessing ideas and decisions can slow us down. Adjustments or reassessments may need to be made now, particularly related to important and realistic details that need our attention. Communications may miss the mark.
OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 3°20′ Separating We can experience pressure to decide or come to a conclusion. Second-guessing and suspicion are possible now.
VENUS
VENUS IN TAURUS For you romance and reliability go hand in hand. You approach relationships slowly and steadily, looking for someone who will prove solid and secure. You enjoy sensuality, and are reliable with finances.
27TH DEGREE OF TAURUS Part of Body: Atlas Sabian Symbol: An old indian woman selling beads.
ASPECTS OF VENUS SEXTILE CHIRON Orb 2°30′ Applying You are a caring and loving partner. You understand your partner’s struggles.
MARS
MARS IN CANCER We are less likely to move straightforwardly towards our desires now. Our emotional moods especially affect the pursuit of our goals. We are a little more cautious and conservative under this influence, but we will fight for, about, or on behalf of those people and things that are dearest to our heart.
18TH DEGREE OF CANCER Part of Body: Duodenal opening of pancreatic duct Sabian Symbol: A hen scratching for her chicks.
ASPECTS OF MARS SQUARE JUPITER Orb 3°50′ Separating Our fighting, defending spirits are strong. We might be on a crusade. We could be too quick to take offense or to make judgments. Avoid unnecessary conflict and overreaching. Direct excess energy into positive enterprises for positive results rather than adding more to your agenda.
TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 3°34′ Separating Inspiration might be found now, and our intuition is strong. There can be letting go of anger, or a softening of the disposition. Creative arts, particularly physical ones, are favored.
OPPOSITION PLUTO Orb 0°33′ Applying We may be looking for the upper hand and resisting others’ control. Resentments come to the surface. Competitive feelings.
JUPITER
JUPITER IN LIBRA You have a strong concern for justice. You are a diplomatic teacher, and express your spiritual values in your relationships.
14TH DEGREE OF LIBRA Part of Body: Left inguinal lymph nodes Sabian Symbol: A noon siesta.
ASPECTS OF JUPITER QUINCUNX NEPTUNE Orb 0°16′ Applying You feel a call to serve others perhaps through a profession or through religion. You will need to learn what is reasonable to do for others, and what is over stepping the boundary of your responsibility.
SQUARE PLUTO Orb 4°24′ Applying You will need to learn to have confidence in yourself even when life deals you a few blows. You range from over confident to completely lacking in confidence. The truth lies somewhere in between.
SATURN
SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS Saturn in Sagittarius asks us to take on the responsibility of living according to our personal truths and principles — and to be loyal to these. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those beliefs and principles that don’t accurately reflect our authentic selves. (December 23, 2014, to June 14, 2015, then September 17, 2015, to December 20, 2017)
24TH DEGREE OF SAGITTARIUS Part of Body: Popliteal fossa Sabian Symbol: A bluebird standing at the door of the house.
ASPECTS OF SATURN TRINE URANUS Orb 4°45′ Separating You have a talent for investigation. You look at new ideas and are able then to put them into action. In business you achieve much in your own independent way.
URANUS
URANUS IN ARIES The urge to start fresh, to break free from restrictive attitudes or circumstances, to totally redesign an area of our lives (or even our personalities), and to gain freedom through independence is strong during this cycle. (May 27, 2010, to August 13, 2010, then March 11th, 2011, to May 15, 2018, then November 6, 2018, to March 6, 2019).

PLUTO
PLUTO IN CAPRICORN Tests of our boundaries; breaking down and rebuilding structures and rules. (From January 25, 2008, to June 14, 2008, then November 26, 2008, to March 23, 2023, then June 11, 2023, to January 20, 2024, then September 1, 2024, to November 19, 2024).

JUNO IN CAPRICORN You want a partner who you can respect, and who respects you. You seek long-term commitment and may marry later in life.

The Moon is waxing and in its New phase. The New Moon occurred yesterday in the sign of Scorpio. Mercury is in its pre-retrograde shadow (Mercury will retrograde from December 3-22). **Times are Eastern Standard Time (EST). Horoscopes Aries  Aries This morning, tendencies to lock heads with others or to push or instigate continue, dear Aries, as Mars, your ruler, forms a square to Pluto. There can be problems dealing with difficult people and pursuing an important goal, or there may be disagreement on priorities now. If you fear that you will not get your way, there can be a temptation to manipulate. Be careful not to come on so insistently that you become an instigator, particularly in dealings with authority figures or other professional matters. This is a time when you may feel like pushing a matter, but it’s best not to force issues. Resentment or sudden anger that seems more forceful than suits the situation can be important clues to areas where you’re too attached for your own good. Aim to take the high road now. This becomes far easier as the day advances and difficult energies diffuse. In fact, you crave more freeform time to explore. Taurus  Taurus This morning, there is further tension possible if you’re dwelling or obsessing over a problem area, dear Taurus, likely related to an opinion or method. You may be holding on for dear life to either of these things, but it’s worthwhile to question why this is the case. A rigid mindset may be a symptom of a deeper problem or fear of change, and that doesn’t do anyone, including yourself, any good. The first half of the day is a time when power struggles are more likely, but if you don’t push yourself or others, you’ll feel much better. As the day advances, you’re ready to unwind and let go. Gemini  Gemini This morning, there is further tension possible involving power plays or resistance, dear Gemini. There can be issues related to understanding what a relationship means or its depth of involvement or commitment. If power dynamics are an issue, perhaps you can think up ways to manage and share power going forward. Use this intense energy to push forward a creative project or focus your energies on something productive rather than dwell on things that aren’t going your way. Use this intense strength to push forward an innovative project or focus your energies on something productive. Even so, as the day advances, you’re more inclined to want to wind down than up. Cancer  Cancer This morning, tension continues to threaten as people seem to be overly attached to an idea of how they want life to play out, dear Cancer. Ego energies may dominate which can result in clashes or power games. Family matters can be challenging now, especially if people are too coarse and insensitive. While competition can often motivate you to improve your life, the tense air this morning doesn’t seem to lead to anything positive unless you consciously aim to identify areas of anger and resolve them. As the day advances, it’s so much easier to let go. It can be hard to focus, in fact, later today. Leo  Leo This morning, you may not want to budge on an idea, schedule, or method, dear Leo. In truth, flexibility will help you out more than anything right now. With Mars and Pluto coming to a square, it can be difficult maintaining a sense of proportion, mainly regarding your work or health matters, but backing up is probably best for you to gain perspective or to calm your nerves. A recreational pursuit or a hobby may be just the right distraction now, and as the day progresses, it’s easier to find ways to relax. Virgo  Virgo This morning, a Mars-Pluto perfects, and it’s all too easy to blow things out of proportion, Virgo, mainly to do with fears. There can be resentments emerging now, and a tendency to push for answers that you may not truly want to receive. Use intense emotions and compulsions constructively if you can, possibly through writing or artwork that expresses your passion and intensity. On the other hand, if something simply needs to come out, this can be a time for dealing with frustrations or resentments, messy or not! As the day advances, you may have a complete turnaround of mood as you’d rather not face issues head-on. Libra  Libra This morning, Mars meets Pluto in a challenging angle, and you may be facing some resistance to getting what you want or accomplishing what you set out to do, dear Libra. You may be feeling resentfulness or a sense that others are trying to manipulate you. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself, but do it without defensiveness, if possible, for best results. Avoid manipulative tactics yourself, as these serve only to put more pressure on you. If something is frustrating you, be sure to keep a sense of proportion. Mars-Pluto tends to have the effect of exaggerating our fears temporarily. The rest of the day offers you the chance to calm down, unwind, and let go of this intensity. Mental games and diversions can be excellent for you now. Scorpio  Scorpio A frustrating problem from the past or an issue that requires sensitive handling can be nagging at you early today, dear Scorpio, with a tense aspect between Mars and Pluto exact this morning. This might motivate you to make improvements, which is an excellent way to handle this energy. You prefer to cut to the heart of a matter and resolve a problem once and for all. Oversee your communications, however, as they may express unresolved tension or resentment indirectly and go over poorly. You may be your own worst enemy now. Do your best to ease and settle your mind. Being kind to yourself may involve letting a matter go, and this becomes easier to do as the day progresses. Sagittarius  Sagittarius This morning, a Mars-Pluto aspect is exact, dear Sagittarius, and this can serve to pull up an unresolved problem or frustration. You can learn a great deal about yourself and your relationships through the differences you see now, but interactions can be quite intense along the way. An issue surrounding values, money, or questions of ownership can frustrate, or you may be feeling conflicted on an inner level about your feelings towards someone. Temptations to manipulate rather than face a matter head-on are strong this morning, but as the day advances, you’d much prefer to live and let live and carry on without overthinking. The Moon is in your sign all day today and tomorrow, animating your emotions and bringing your attention to exciting personal plans. Capricorn  Capricorn Conflicts over who is an authority on a matter, or other such power struggles, are too easy to trigger early today, dear Capricorn, but are not good for anyone involved with Mars in square to Pluto. The tendency may be to resist others’ wishes or to go off on a tangent, which could certainly create some waves. You’re provocative now, perhaps without even knowing it. You might want to tone it down through conscious awareness of how you might be alienating others, or take a light schedule until you’ve worked out what’s bothering you. As the day progresses, it’s far easier to let go of the ego or of issues that only serve to frustrate. It’s a fine day for getting extra rest and time for reflection. Aquarius  Aquarius You can be quite compulsive in your thinking early today, dear Aquarius, and perhaps too adamant or stubborn with your beliefs, and this can cause some stress. You might also experience an internal struggle, as a fear may be holding you back from pursuing an activity or challenge that you’re passionate about. Watch that you are not your own worst enemy this morning by saying or doing things that invite adverse reactions. You’re in far better shape personally than professionally just for now. Tonight brings a more soothing, accepting atmosphere for interacting. It’s not especially focused, but this may be just what you need right now. Pisces  Pisces Early today, avoid power struggles with others but feel and attempt to understand any darker matter that surfaces from deep inside, dear Pisces. These things may be undermining more than you know, as they may be driving difficult behavior or could be the source of considerable pressure. The level of commitment in a relationship may be a question now, or conflicts with a friend or lover about a long-term goal or dream may not end easily now. Channel your passion into a collaborative pursuit. As the day progresses, you’re ready to decompress and unwind. Things may not be very much in focus but this may be what you need after focusing a little too hard. * Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

Astrology of Today – The Details: If you’re astrologically inclined and interested in the details of the Astrology of today, here are some of the factors considered in the forecasts (for the astrology of the week, see This Week in Astrology):    Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 0:00 am Event: Moon in Sagittarius Description: The Moon in Sagittarius This is a time for expanding our mind and experience, exploring new pathways, aiming high, and broadening our horizons. It’s not as strong for detail or routine work. There can be restlessness, courage, and spontaneity now. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 10:36 am Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqq Ura Description: Transiting Moon SesquiSquare Transiting Uranus We can easily find ourselves all wound up and nervous. Unpredictable responses from others (and ourselves). Emotional eruptions are possible. Not a good time to make permanent decisions, particularly about relationships and family/domestic matters. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 12:50 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqr Nep Description: Transiting Moon Square Transiting Neptune There can be confusion, misunderstanding, or some level of chaos and uncertainty. Avoid money transactions or new business initiatives – it can be difficult to think clearly. There may be deception or self-deception to deal with. We might have an emotional urge to escape. Feeling out of sorts and don’t know why? Relax and listen to some inspirational music. Honor your need to feed your more refined or spiritual side, and the difficult feelings will soon fade away. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 5:49 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Sqq Pal Description: Transiting Moon SesquiSquare Transiting Pallas We may be concerned about what others are thinking of us now, and can be sensitive to negativity and criticism, or what we perceive as such. We might not understand one another, and can be at odds with one another on a mental or intellectual level. Someone’s belief or idea can make us feel insecure or out of sorts, or otherwise rub us the wrong way. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 9:34 pm Event: Tr-Tr Mon Tri Cer Description: Transiting Moon Trine Transiting Ceres We can be feeling pleasantly attached to, or supported by, our loved ones or family. We are seeking out security, nurturing, and warmth, and we are more likely to express these things towards others. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 5:54 am Event: Tr-Tr Mer Tri Nod Description: Transiting Mercury Trine Transiting North Node Projects prove successful right now, particularly those involving teamwork. Cooperate and reap the rewards. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 3:50 am Event: Tr-Tr Ven Cpl Nod Description: Transiting Venus ContraParallel Transiting North Node Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 9:14 pm Event: Tr-Tr Ven Sqr Cer Description: Transiting Venus Square Transiting Ceres We could be feeling possessive, dependent, or overly attached. This can be a needy time, but also one in which we discover or recognize insecurities and dependencies and may be motivated to make changes. Date & Time: Nov 19 2017 7:15 am Event: Tr-Tr Mar Sqr Plu Description: Transiting Mars Square Transiting Pluto We may be looking for the upper hand and resisting others’ control. Resentments come to the surface. Competitive feelings Strong Signs, Elements, Modes BALANCE OF SIGNS SCORPIO STRONG Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic. SAGITTARIUS STRONG Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless. BALANCE OF ELEMENTS FIRE STRONG Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily. EARTH WEAK There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves. AIR WEAK We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative. WATER STRONG We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality. BALANCE OF MODES The modes are balanced. LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun. This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities. The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 19th: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies. Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today). **I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime). THE MOON THE MOON IN SAGITTARIUS This is a time for expanding our mind and experience, exploring new pathways, aiming high, and broadening our horizons. It’s not as strong for detail or routine work. There can be restlessness, courage, and spontaneity now. 12TH DEGREE OF SAGITTARIUS Part of Body: Long saphenous veins Sabian Symbol: A flag that turns into an eagle that crows.

SQUARE NEPTUNE Orb 0°25′ Applying We may feel a need to escape or to rewrite our lives in various ways – by seeing what we want to see, for example. This is a short time in which there can be lack of clarity. Emotional and physical sensitivity. THE SUN THE SUN IN SCORPIO You are a passionate and intense individual. You may gain attention through creating dramatic situations.

ASPECTS OF MERCURY SEXTILE MARS Orb 1°17′ Separating You are a quick learner and can be perceptive. CONJUNCTION SATURN Orb 7°34′ Applying You have a logical mind.

TRINE URANUS Orb 6°25′ Applying We are mentally alert and aware, and might be experimenting or opening our minds to new ideas. We could be feeling inspired, and our thinking is inventive. Varying our usual routine may be rewarding. SQUARE CHIRON Orb 5°30′ Applying There can be insecurity about our own ideas or decisions, or we may not know who/what to believe. Words, or lack of, can hurt right now. There is greater sensitivity to what is being said, choice of words, and syntax. VENUS VENUS IN SCORPIO You have an intense need for relationships. You will also be intense once in a relationship. You will want to know your partner’s innermost thoughts and yet you may have a tendency to secrecy. 16TH DEGREE OF SCORPIO Part of Body: Right ovary, cochlea of inner ear Sabian Symbol: A girl’s face breaking into a smile. ASPECTS OF VENUS CONJUNCTION JUPITER Orb 6°37′ Separating We are looking for more meaning or color to our lives and especially to our relationships.

TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 3°51′ Separating We are more sensitive to others’ needs and wants, and more desirous of harmony, love, beauty, and balance. We are generous, compassionate, open, and vulnerable. Spiritual/emotional concerns trump material ones at this time. SEXTILE PLUTO Orb 2°10′ Applying We’re a better judge of value right now – who and what are important to us. We might see one another, and our relationships, in a different light. We could reconnect with someone or improve an existing bond.

ASPECTS OF JUPITER TRINE NEPTUNE Orb 2°45′ Applying You are artistic and may also be religious. You have a need to help others and may feel you have a calling. You have the ability to inspire other people’s talents as well. SATURN SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS Saturn in Sagittarius asks us to take on the responsibility of living according to our personal truths and principles — and to be loyal to these. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those beliefs and principles that don’t accurately reflect our authentic selves.

In business you achieve much in your own independent way. SQUARE CHIRON Orb 2°04′ Separating There can be fears now of not being competent or effective enough to meet our responsibilities, or we could find it hard to strike out on a unique path, again due to fears or insecurities. The desire to break from the status quo is strong, but we may not have the necessary confidence to do so. We may have difficulties empathizing with others and understanding ourselves. URANUS URANUS IN ARIES The urge to start fresh, to break free from restrictive attitudes or circumstances, to totally redesign an area of our lives (or even our personalities), and to gain freedom through independence is strong during this cycle. (May 27, 2010, to August 13, 2010, then March 11th, 2011, to May 15, 2018, then November 6, 2018, to March 6, 2019). 25TH DEGREE OF ARIES Part of Body: Sternocleidomastoid muscle Sabian Symbol: A double promise reveals its inner and outer meanings.

Chiron, Major Asteroids, and Moon’s Nodes: in Sign and in Aspect CHIRON CHIRON IN PISCES Strong awareness of our own vulnerabilities and humanity stimulates compassion for others. (April 20 to July 20, 2010, then February 8, 2011, to April 17, 2018, then September 25, 2018, to February 18, 2019). 25TH DEGREE OF PISCES Part of Body: Left distal tibio-fibular joint Sabian Symbol: The purging of the priesthood. VESTA IN SCORPIO You are intensely committed to your work. Dedication and the ability to focus are keys to your work.

PALLAS PALLAS IN ARIES You have a keen intellect with the ability to come up with exciting, new ideas.

DAILY ASTROLOGY REPORTS AND HOROSCOPES FOR, 10-30-17
Astrology Cafe Daily Astrology ABOUT TODAY DAILY MONTHLY CHART You are here: Home / Daily Astrology / Astrology of Today – Monday, October 30, 2017 Astrology of Today – Monday, October 30, 2017 Oct 28, 2017 by Annie Leave a Comment  The Moon is in Pisces. The Moon is waxing and in its First Quarter phase. The First Quarter Moon occurred on the 27th, and a Full Moon will occur in the sign of Taurus on November 4th. **Times are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Horoscopes Aries  Aries This is a good day for all activities that revolve around getting rest, time for reflection or deep thought, research and investigation, and volunteer work, dear Aries. You are still in a period of natural repose which continues until early November 1st when you begin a fresh new lunar cycle. You stand to gain some wonderful insight into a love relationship today, as the atmosphere is ripe for intimacy. Or you can feel a sense of renewal regarding your feelings about a matter, admitting to feelings you’ve been avoiding, or understanding yourself just a little bit better. Even so, mixed emotions and signals are likely in the coming days as we move towards a Full Moon that has a way of exposing all. Today and tomorrow, seek out patches of time to yourself. Taurus  Taurus This is a good time to give others room to be themselves without any pressure to perform or to measure up, dear Taurus, and to take the same liberties. You’ll find it natural to connect with your dreams and ideals. Others are more cooperative, appreciative, and tolerant than usual, and you’re sure to enjoy the smooth energy of the day. It’s a day that favors putting your fabulous listening skills to use. Even so, new insight into a close relationship comes from pushing boundaries just a tad – just enough to become a little more intimate. Getting to know a significant other’s opinion or beliefs on a matter can boost levels of intimacy as well. Gemini  Gemini The effort that goes into your work may be appreciated now, dear Gemini, even though you are so good at what you do that it usually appears effortless! Others are seeing how practical and valuable you can be. Work, duties, or routines can thrive as a result of your increased motivation. Interactions today can be intense but revealing – far from superficial. Getting to the bottom of a matter is important now. You are highly visible today, whether you’ve chosen to be or not, so show your best colors! Others may expect you to take the lead. Cancer  Cancer Your inner child is coming out to play today, Cancer, and others are genuinely appreciating your spirit. You are not afraid to – and in fact, want to – show your uniqueness. You are taking great pride in your creations now, and you’re also expressing great compassion towards others, which can be infectious. Your ability to attract people and things into your life is high today. You’ll find others are cooperative as the energy of the day flows smoothly with your fundamental nature. New insight into financial affairs or recovering a lost personal possession may figure now. Love relationships receive a blast of warm energy. Leo  Leo With the Sun’s recent alignment to Jupiter, Leo, you’ve been enjoying a sense of renewal on the levels of trust, faith, and hope, and you may see some extensions of this theme today as the Moon harmonizes with both bodies. If you want to get closer to someone, it’s a fine time to do so, although this can also happen organically today. It’s a fortunate time for family matters, domestic activities, and financial affairs. Family members are cooperative. You are more perceptive than usual, as you can quickly cut through the fluff to motivations. If this is taken too far, of course, it can be counter-productive! However, you have a decent sense of your limits right now. Your research and detective modes are working especially sharply today and tomorrow. Virgo  Virgo Free and breezy conversation will work wonders today, dear Virgo, whether or not they lead to concrete places. You are not always confident that you’ll say the right thing, and today, others are so tolerant that it wouldn’t matter if you did muddle up a few words. Just allow things to flow naturally. Good energy is with you for negotiations and informal or formal agreements. In general, your communications are pleasant and uplifting. You enjoy coming to others’ aid, particularly on a mental or knowledge level, as long as they seem to appreciate it sincerely. Your cooperative, helpful nature comes shining through, making it natural for others to acknowledge your efforts. Libra  Libra This is a good day for confidence in your resources, work, or routines, dear Libra. You’re likely to enjoy the cooperative energy surrounding you – as a Libra, harmony means the world to you. Intuition or gut feelings tend to be correct today regarding money, work, health, and capabilities. As such, you’re gravitating towards the right methods and situations. This can be a good time to make a purchase or to sniff out good deals and useful products. Renewing an old acquaintance can boost your spirits for some of you now. Scorpio  Scorpio The Moon harmonizes with the Sun and Jupiter in your sign today, dear Scorpio, and this brings more light to your personality. The boost is subtle but effective. This is a good day for relaxing recreation – a time to refresh and rejuvenate yourself through activities you genuinely enjoy. It’s a good time for approaching someone with an invitation, or for attracting invites to you. Others take note as you are radiating natural energy and confidence. Since the Sun and Jupiter aligned in your sign a few days ago, your sense of personal renewal of faith and hope has been building. Sagittarius  Sagittarius While the Moon spends the day in your cautious home and family sector, Sagittarius, the Moon’s harmonious aspects to both the Sun and Jupiter bring increased light to your personality. Others are likely to admire you for your optimism and hopefulness – traits that come so very naturally to you. You remain in “processing” mode as you usually are at this time of year, however. Your goals will become more evident as you go along. For now, enjoy the quiet and the good feelings. It’s quite easy to go with the flow today, in fact. There is a general desire for harmony that keeps people in better spirits than usual, and this suits you well. You may choose not to venture too far from home today, and this is just fine, as this can help you get in better touch with your feelings. Capricorn  Capricorn Connections with friends or your personal connection to your dreams and wishes inspire you today, Capricorn, so make sure you are fully emotionally present to gain the most from your interactions. A cooperative feel to the day lifts your spirits and also heightens your desire to socialize. Pleasant exchanges are likely now, and while energies are not obviously productive for the time being, the day is nevertheless valuable for lifting spirits and contributing to a sense of overall well-being. This, in turn, inspires you to do your best when you do get back to business! Aquarius  Aquarius Practical matters are in good shape today, Aquarius, not only because you are paying them more attention than usual, but also because your heart is in making things work. Taking care of finances comes naturally with the Moon in your resources sector all day. You may be thinking about ways to improve your disposable income or to enjoy and make full use of what you have. The Moon’s trine to the Sun at the top of your solar chart suggests that cooperation on the job helps your overall mood and assists you with clarifying your goals. Others readily see you as a leader with your demeanor as purposeful as it is today. Pisces  Pisces A surge of enthusiasm brightens your day, dear Pisces, with the Sun in your spirit sector in harmony with the Moon in your sign. If there’s something you want to make up for or catch up on, now is a good time. The day is fortunate for personal influence and warm, smooth relations with others. Your cooperative spirit will not go unnoticed. In fact, you’re hard to ignore today. You could have flashes of inspiration that help you solve problems. Your convictions are exceptionally strong now, and you could be defending something or someone today with vigor. Even so, the fact that you’re coming across pleasingly helps you gain maximum support. * Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.

Avoid hasty decisions now. Strong Signs, Elements, Modes BALANCE OF SIGNS LIBRA STRONG Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental. SCORPIO STRONG Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic. PISCES STRONG Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible. BALANCE OF ELEMENTS FIRE WEAK We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action. EARTH WEAK There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves. WATER STRONG We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality. BALANCE OF MODES The modes are balanced. LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun. We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard. The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on October 30th: Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies. Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today). **I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime). THE MOON THE MOON IN PISCES A time to observe, feel, and process. We may pay special attention to our dreams, both of the night and day variety, and the subtle areas of our lives. We may have difficulties defining emotional boundaries. We might deal with stress through avoidant or escapist behavior. Focusing on creativity, philanthropy, spirituality, and artistry can be beneficial. Build your intuition, slow down and rest. 9TH DEGREE OF PISCES Part of Body: Right metatarsals Sabian Symbol: The race begins: a jockey spurs his horse to great speed.
