kinda a continuation of my thought that Spamton's purpose was to accentuate/boost others, how its represented by the intensity of his glowing, the intensity of his personality.

Would his intensity be too much for people? Would he get shushed by his peers for speaking too loud or too much? Acting too ambitious, too arrogant while delivering sub-par results?

Some called it 'passionate', others called it 'annoying'.

Maybe someone, somewhere called it 'potential'.

leo 🌙 — why do you try to do everything on your own? you're not alone. try to accept help when it is offered to you, it won't make you seem weak.

Adventurer Zenos and G'raha cause I had to draw my silly guys. I just enjoy the idea of Zenos hanging out with fellow bookworms and being begrudgingly (though occasionally willingly) helpful.

my lil cosmic journal

Finding Safety in the Stars ~ A Journey of Vulnerability and Astrology ~ As an astrologer and private soul, I’ve always found solace in the cosmos—astrology is the map that’s guided my inner work and often my most difficult conversations with self. Sharing my journey is something I’ve been holding close, almost like an astrological diary, where I record these moments of self-discovery tied to my natal placements and current transits. This piece is a step toward letting others witness that journey.

I recently met with a long-time client, someone who’s trusted me with their own path. I’m deeply grateful for my clients—they remind me why I keep showing up, even as I struggle to share parts of my own life. I feel the call to put my face out there and speak my own story, to stay disciplined in this practice, all while confronting my Scorpio Moon and 12th house Jupiter that would really prefer I stay quiet and out of the limelight. Fame? Not quite. Success in my passions? Absolutely.

But the truth is, no success—no healing—comes without risk, and lately, my Chiron in Virgo in the 10th house has been reminding me just how raw that can feel. There’s a fear of being “wrong,” of coming off uninformed or imperfect, a fear that guts me deeply. Still, I know the work must be done, the healing shared, the words offered, even if I’m afraid.

A Moment of Truth with Myself

Recently, I shared something deeply vulnerable with my partner. It wasn’t easy—in fact, it was gut-wrenching to lay out my own beliefs and biases, the ways I’ve held myself back socially and professionally, the goals I’ve avoided because I couldn’t shake certain ideologies about myself. I shared how painful it feels to carry that perception of who I am, that reality of self that I often want to hide. It was raw, uncomfortable, and yes, a bit cringy, but it was also one of the most beautiful, relieving exhalations of my life.

My partner listened, and in doing so, held pieces of me I didn’t want to hold myself. I hadn’t allowed myself to be held like that in a long time. I realized, too, that once I decided to let him in, there was no going back. Sharing this meant I couldn’t continue in my usual ways—I needed to be honest and open to the love he’s shown me, even when it’s difficult. He’s told me I’m an excellent defender of myself, but sometimes I defend so well that I close myself off even from him. That was before, though, and now I feel a shift.

Pluto’s Shift: A Catalyst for Releasing Old Beliefs With Pluto moving from Capricorn in my 2nd house to Aquarius in my 3rd, my inner structures—my definitions of safety and openness—are shifting daily. I find myself challenged by my own mind, by the beliefs and fears that don’t align with the evolving love I want to cultivate. It’s been a tough journey of breaking down the walls within, facing uncomfortable truths, but those moments are balanced by an overwhelming catharsis. I’m witnessing my own evolution, the melting of old fears, and the welcoming of a new kind of safety—one rooted in honesty, shared vulnerability, and, ultimately, growth.

So, here I am, offering this piece of my journey as a reminder to those who feel the same resistance: our paths may be challenging, but they’re also woven with deep beauty and meaning. Through each conversation, each honest exchange, we’re reminded that while we may be our own mountains to climb, we’re also fully capable of reaching those peaks.

sonic as a distorted mirror of maria. someone who has so much love for the world they live in (that twists and turns bitter as they're taken away from it). someone who will do what they deem right regardless of what others think (whether what they're doing is the right thing in the end). someone who protects those they love at any price (be the cost their own life, the life of someone else, the Order of things). bravery (to the point of foolishness), care (to the point of destruction), naivety (that gains notes of cynicism as they mature), sincerity (that turns into lies meant to spare those around them from a truth that hurts).

now enter shadow, who grew up observing the slow distortion of someone dressed in blue. who notices familiar patterns in this friend he's made.

the development of personality according to astrological houses which part of you remains to be developed, to evolve? | Past Lives & Astrology

Which part of you remains to be developed, to evolve? | Past Lives & Astrology

I understand a person's natal chart from various perspectives, and one of them is the idea that:

what we are now is the result of past choices and actions (thinking in terms of past lives and the idea of reincarnation).

And indeed, in my experience, this makes sense, as I have encountered many people whose charts already indicated certain patterns brought from past lives.

I could see this, and only later what these people did and were in past life/lives emerge, through holistic therapies the person did with me, with other therapists or on their own - in the case of therapists - (depending on the relevance, this appears in sessions, especially in Multidimensional therapy sessions).

Based on this, I brought some information that I had typed about 3 or 4 years ago regarding our natal chart.

Below, I will speak only of one of the possible points of analyzing a person's evolution from an astrological perspective:

the astro houses.

I believe I posted it on the blog but couldn't find it, and anyway, since I added this past life information above and added more things below, it makes sense for a new post with more additions:

SOME ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES & MEANINGS IN TERMS OF EVOLUTION

(main ones)

1st House ✨💫

From an evolutionary perspective, it represents early childhood, the notion of "I and I," our first steps in creating our conception of the world and ourselves. Here, the ego as the center of self-consciousness is barely formed. It represents identity in constant construction, but always focused on the internal, not on external exchange. The sense that there is only you. In excess, it will signify the inability to see the other, to deal well with otherness.

You may notice that despite seeming exaggerated, this is exactly what happens in people with this type of choice - which the chart is not defining but merely representing.

People with a strong 1st house in the chart,

or with personal planets in the 1st house, especially if there is a notable absence of Libra or 7th house, need to develop their personality beyond just themselves; they need to learn to look less at their own navel and more at others. Learning from people is also important.

4th House ✨💫

Strong influences from home and the internal environment that already begin to shape the personality. The superego and ideas of what is right and wrong can be quite strong, especially those learned from the family. You may notice that your interaction with the world is almost a reflection of your relationship and roots with your family.

People with a strong 4th house in the chart,

especially if there is a notable absence of Capricorn and the 10th house, or who have personal planets strongly marking their personality in the 4th house, need to learn not to be solely tied to what their family said/says you have to be, live, and do or not do.

Learn to develop your personality outside of home too. Roots are important, but so is independence. Our Ancestors, when loving, recognize the importance of seeking our own path. This is not dishonor. It is independence, self-choice, and self-love.

5th House ✨💫

Here we can talk about the formed ego. The ego, the center of personality, with strong characteristics that mark who you are. Individuality. Your main personality, what you tend to show to the world with a certain solidity. In terms of development and evolution, it represents someone with a strong connection to their ego (center of consciousness, personality). Whether it will fall into negative ego or the ego as a catalyst for evolution, your choices will define.

People with a strong 5th house in the chart,

especially if there is a notable absence of Aquarius or the 11th house, or who have personal planets strongly marking their personality in the 5th house, need to learn not to live solely for their desires, their wants, learning to look at others' needs and what others have to say (and perhaps teach you).

In other words, despite the joy in developing and recognizing your personality, see if there is indeed self-love or just a need for "Hey, look at me!" as an exact effect of this self-recognition situation. See if your self-recognition is as healthy as it seems or if there are still steps to be taken. Furthermore, such people may need to learn not to be solely attached to what their ego says.

7th House ✨💫

This house represents a personality very based on exchanges. It is a being above the ego's desire to focus only on itself but may still have challenges in valuing its own intentions, as deep down, the ego may still seek approval.

Therefore, it is a house that represents relationships with others.

It represents the other, exchanges, relationships. A slightly deeper level of self-development, one that takes human exchanges into account.

People with a strong 7th house in the chart,

especially if there is a notable absence of Aries or the 1st house, or who have personal planets strongly marking their personality in the 7th house, need to learn not to follow only what others want, need to know how to follow their own internal desires, know how to be less influenced by others.

It is important to pay attention to how much people have defined your behaviors, as you may be diving too deeply into the idea of learning from the external. Learn through exchanges, experiences, but PAY ATTENTION to how much you absorb others' ideas and environments. Always connect to who you are.

10th House ✨💫

This house represents the construction of life's purpose, the way you want to present yourself to the world in a more stable and concrete way, where you will be developing your personality potential and contributing to the external world.

Represents a more mature ego, but which can still be tied to a negative binding: that of control, appearance and the "unique way of living, doing, and being".

People with a strong 10th house in the chart,

especially if there is a notable absence of Cancer or the 4th house, or who have personal planets marking their personality in the 10th house,

need to be less focused only on building a future, stability, and an image to be shown to the world, also knowing that they need to develop their internal world and see what is inside, not just what people will tend to see.

In summary, they need to be less attached to appearances to develop something more solid with themselves.

Furthermore, they need to see the world beyond the four concrete walls, beyond objectivity, connecting with the surroundings in a more supportive, sensitive, empathetic way.

You built solid foundations, but now you need to learn to share, let go, release control and attachment, be less rigid. Let go of the belief you hold, under your arms, the absolute truth of everyone's life if this is your case.

11th House ✨💫

11th house represents another type of exchange and human relationships, like the 7th house, but on the other hand, it does not mean being easily influenced, as the 11th house means much more being attentive and open to everything, having contact with many things, with collectivity, social groups, but not always allowing this to alter your personality.

In fact, this is where the balance and imbalance possibilities lie:

Balance: being open, listening to ideas, positions, and, depending, even seeking to understand the dynamics of larger groups and things, but not necessarily getting involved in everything, it's like: always being in, but being out.

Imbalance: falling into intellectual arrogance, mental arrogance, emptiness of meaning and significance, due to always being skeptical and detached from everything, and also falling into inflexibility, the impossibility of accepting help, and so on.

The 11th house means transforming the world with what is already inside you. It is seeing others, their desires, and needs, and giving them something they need.

People with notable 11th house in their charts,

especially if there is a notable absence of the 5th house and Leonine traits, or who have personal planets marking their personality in the 11th house,

may need to learn about opening their minds not just to listen but also to truly learn (avoiding mental inflexibility);

learning to leave the field of impersonality and skepticism all the time and, moreover, allowing their individuality to shine, learning to receive things too, recognizing their value and letting their personality shine.

Obsessed with the way Kurushu says "Dark Barons" with the same evocation of voldemort. Like theyre evil monsters who's names alone could kill. Its an idolization of these people, in a way. It reduces them to fundamental forces, taking away personhood.

Theres two things this makes me think about:

1. This is an exact mirror to how the Trust makes idols of its leaders - we saw this in spades with Spahr. To me, this is likely the same deal except its "evil"

2. Who else do we know was a Fold Baron, who later became a literal evil monster? We know Weepe believed himself a monster, and thus became one, but where did that idea come from?

Curious Nature 🌼🐈 Sitting on the grass, I catch you staring at me. I can't help but wonder… Do you like what you see? You just smile to yourself, like you’ve already seen everything there is to see. Maybe for you, there are no mysteries left in life. But for me, there is still so much left to uncover, especially in moments like these.

[codenamesazanka]

extremely questionable methodology but i compiled all the dialogue spoken between Shigaraki and Deku starting from when Shigaraki breaks out of AFO’s control in Chapter 379 up to Chapter 412.

(There are chapters where they appear but do not speak. Those are the chapter numbers.)

The takeaway is that Shigaraki is extremely chatty! A lot of it is taunts, but Shigaraki’s also revealing a lot of stuff about his plans and his opinions.

Deku does not seem as interested in returning the conversation, however. Whenever he does speak, it’s less in response to any of the content of Shigaraki’s chatter, and more heroic statements of intent. (The ‘you’re still human’ is the only direct refutation, I think.)

To be fair, his focus is all on surviving Shigaraki’s attacks. Nearly all his internal thoughts are strategy - combining a quirk with this quirk, how exactly he can physically stop Shigaraki. Additionally, before Chapter 410, he was probably too worried about All Might; while for most of Chapter 412, he was asphyxiating. Hard to chat when so much shit is happening.

And you can argue Shigaraki is just Villain monologuing. Deku doesn’t have to pay attention to anything he says - a lot which are, after all, taunts - he doesn’t have to engage with Shigaraki’s dumb rants.

His goal is to save Shigaraki/The Crying Child, and only that - not like talking or asking questions about anything or responding is required for that.

In retrospect, Etoiles calling BadBoyHalo out was almost prescient.

He accused him of only fighting battles he could win and not engaging in combat and running away if there was any chance at loss, especially if the odds were against him.

Last night, with the egg in their care left at 10% health and morale badly sunk, Bad gave up alongside the only two teammates who were still present (Niki, under armed and confused, and Tina, who arrived late). They did not rally for the egg, only making minor efforts to shore up the location before throwing in the towel completely.

They could not win, so they chose not to play any more. They gave up. And the Blue egg was taken away.

Not a good look for the self-proclaimed protector of all of the eggs. I’m curious to see if that choice comes back to haunt BBH later.
