#or a relationship chart or sth

[cobaltfluff]

happy april fools' from your big brothers, dumbass (affectionate)

[supportivecircle]

This is my current tracking of some of the relationships taking place in the Sonic comics. Some of them are based on very well hidden lore details if you read easter eggs and text in some of the papers in the background of scenes. Now, it doesn't cover every relationship or character, but I only have so many hours in the day and living cells in my hands and fingers, so I have to trim it down substantially.

[noona96n]

Hi....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

no worries, im happy to answer. and, if i happened to already answer sth, I'll link u to it.

so, fav medias... hmm...

book(s): the radiant emperor duology

ik it just came out and was only recently finished (like, finished Sept 2023 lol) so this is probably bias speaking but i am extremely taken by She Who Became the Sun and He Who Drowned the World, these books are fckn phenomenal. the gender-fuckery, the exploration of gender and sexual performances, the hidden message of embracing ourselves in all our ugliness and 'deficiency' and making a place for ourselves and ppl like us when others shun us. these books are just!!!

documentaries: immortal egypt (Joanne Fletcher)

i really really love documentaries and this mini series hold a special place in my heart bcs i love history and I've always been fascinated by egypt and Joanne's enthusiasm is just so joyous and infectious, i love it. i put this on repeat in the background when i was doing my graduation project in 2018 lol yea, just me listening to egyptian docu while working my ass off on AutoCAD lol

anime: sarusuberi/miss hokusai

idk how to explain but there's just a quality to this animated film that got me going... like, i adore howl's moving castle but miss hokusai is sth else. it's so peaceful but also deeply profound and visceral somehow.

tv series: aircrash investigation

i love planes, i love the Concorde in particular, but it has nth to do with how cool planes are but with how child-me saw riding planes as a thing that only ppl with money could do. it evolved from there.

i also love mysteries and aircrash investigation is both lol

i remember watching it on tv when i was an adolescent and i was fascinated with the mystery and problem-solving of it all ever since.

movie: the prince of egypt

it's a story about love; love that forgives, love that creates hate, love that divides.

drama: nirvana in fire (c-drama), beyond evil (k-drama), kluen cheewit (thai soap opera)

bl-specific: old fashion cupcake (anime AND manga)

the plot of these dramas is impeccable (tho kluen cheewit is extremely dramatic so pls beware lol), the character developments are fckn amazing, and what's even more important is the platonic relationships between the characters!!!

also, special shout-out to thai bl soap opera khun chai/to sir (with love) as well! the drama is off the charts, the characters are flawed & human & infinitely relatable & Tian & Yang's brotherhood is EVERYTHING

just one of the best bls out there and I've consumed A LOT of BLs/yaois... ALL SORT of em lol

the story is really grounded in reality, the plot is so mundane and relatable, the characters are mature but extremely flawed, and the art (in the case of manga) and the acting (in the case of the series) are amazing.

song: queen bee by vannda (contemporary music from my country)

i DO NOT agree with the lyrics AT ALL but i adore the melody. i absolutely love, love, LOVE how he blends traditional khmer music with the modern one. it's not a necessarily modern take but it's sth different. this artist is very good at blending the old w/ the new and i applaud him for that. his music is so pleasing the ear but the fkcn lyrics... urGH

well, a song of his with message that i completely agree with is time to rise with master Kong Nay... though the mixture is too in my face lol which is why i prefer queen bee

I wanna talk about the 27 club

So while it is the year at which many famous people physically die (for some reason) but it could also mean death in mental sense (like getting character development or sth)

Astrological reasons (+ stuff to know before reading stuff from the link that'll be below cuz some stuff isn't explained in it)

Natal chart is the chart you were born with

If a planet returns (natal return) it means the transit of the planet is in the same sign when the person was born with

To my knowledge:

North Node means soul purpose

Moon - emotions & subconscious + relationship with mom apparently

Saturn - ambition, career, limitations & discipline (+ maybe relationship with dad; it's either sun or Saturn according to various sources)

The link:

https://www.tumblr.com/kakiastro/751766049785020416/the-astrology-of-the-age-27?source=share

Some albums that were released when the singer was 27 (the first ppl that came to my mind):

Taylor Swift “Reputation” (I know it differs from her previous albums, idk how much cuz I don't listen to her stuff but the fact that's the only Taylor Swift album I own probably means something)

Melanie Martinez “Portals” (change from (as I call it) dark childhood+schoolcore to "more accurate folklore-wise I guess" fairycore with themes of death & rebirth (both in literal & mental sense))

Wilbur Soot "Mammalian Signing Reflex" (only if MSR was released after Wilbur's 27th birthday cuz iirc he said he tells ppl random date of his birthday so September 14th could be actually fake but he confirmed he was born in 1996)

MSR is the 27 club album

(that was the only thing I wanted to share)

(I'll gladly read/listen to anyone who decides to analyse the album from that perspective)

(Also Belle, if you wanna tell me how "Reputation" differs from her previous (& later) albums, you can, I'll be glad)

WAIT I FUCKING LOVE THIS

and rep isn’t super different from most of her other albums, but it was written at the start of her long-term relationship that was recently ended. it’s considered her only true “love” album, and my favorite of all her albums :)

[rexaleph]

hxh thots as of ep 51 (it's very good) i liked the hunter exam part well enough but this is truly excellent, the extreme violence and heightened stakes w the bodies piling up is way more my speed. now i'm fully watching it for real because i like it, and not like learning abt the genre and doing podcast homework

1. speaking of the podcast: so apparently Janine's reaction to Kurapika's specialist ability was "oh this is bullshit!" and i agree. however i am not as upset by the bullshit that it is as i thought i might be. him getting explicit OP rage powers made me less🙄 at him being the archetype that he is.

maybe bc it fits so well into the show's previous explanations of how nen works and how it applies to his circumstances (bc like. the guy who wrote the circumstances for him made the nen wheel lmao) also the death pact really works for me bc it is so very literal. like the pointing out and making explicit of him saying "i am a honor-bound rage-powered avenger and i will do a magic spell to supercharge my revenge powers by keeping a solemn vow limiting their use under penalty of death; the chains i use to tie my enemies into hell also bind my life" - i think that moves us away from unreflected cliche into sth deliberate

i got spoiled on Kurapika mastering all forms when i was looking up the nen user types, but i assumed he got there by like training bc he is the discipline guy. and for a minute i was like, aw he just got it by magic :c but like no, it's actually good that he got it by narrative symbolism magic. also i think bc Gon and Killua are the most special little boys in the world, i don't begrudge Kurapika being like an acknowledged in-universe rarity, and i like that he's older than them and a secondary protagonist at that as well.

final Kurapika thought, i don't like his character design unfortunately. the yellow hair grey eyes combo is unattractive and he has the textbook shitty anime haircut. basically everyone on the show looks a little goofy and characterful - in a way that makes Killua (and maybe some others) stand out as angelic btw, but sth abt Kurapika grates, i think bc it's just kinda ugly but very plain. no points of interest, except maybe his gay little earring that is rarely visible.

2. love the balancing and rebalancing of power. the mechanics and layers of what happened with Uvogin, how threatened Gon and Killua were by the troupe, Killua's skinned ankles

3. love the machinations, the interweaving, Killua figuring out who the chain bastard is, the assassins being hired by the mob

4. love the emotional machinations as well. Gon and Killua's puppy love (it's real and gay to me), and especially - as pointed out by Keith on the podcast, Killua doing mild bullying behaviors the way kids will with their friends that Gon is just not susceptible to. Killua's emotional struggles in general, the different types of jealousy (are you better than me? do you like someone else?), the controlling impulse, it's all very real and resonant lmao. Killua is the least interesting when he's freaking out abt being turned into a killer with no internal life by his family, and the best when trying to brush off Gon paying attention to another kid. i'm an adult, so im not negging my crush by drawing a power chart in the sand with a stick but like. i get it lmao.

love the horrible gay clown as well, it is homophobic but i like his sexual menace, him living fully for his violence fetish, faggot death wish and then some

love the glimpses into what's up with the troupe and their relationships in general. Franklin the fucked up big guy has some pretty insightful things to say about people's relationships. there might be something to Chrollo, until now he was just like a generic boss man (though very beautiful, and i was kinda surprised and thrilled to see him get in on the action himself and not just give orders from the lair) but he weeps for Uvogin?

5. Indoor Fish 😻

[blue-arts-stuff]

This was my breaking point in marvel n i left btw like all that not to announce they r in a homo relationship is insane. Chemistry: off the chart.

Love falconwinter but I rather eat sth canon than chew on fanon over again tbh.

rambly thoughts on libra season

Real talk, I hate libra season. The friggin sign of love and relationships, making friggin love and romance the flavour of the month, it just makes me more painfully aware of how alone I am. Usually I'm ok with being alone. This season makes me yearn for a partner, but I never find one. But then thank goodness the season is over quickly and I go back to normal. Libra is in my 10th house in my natal chart, with juno and sappho in there as well, so I think I'm meant to have relationships that I form through my career? Or relationships would help me with my career? I don't know. Libra is also opposite my moon (not sure what that would mean, that libra balances me out or sth?) I don't have a career and don't know what I want to do for a career. I mean I have dreams but they are unrealistic and I don't think I can ever actually have those careers. I am pushing 40 and have never been in one single relationship in my whole life. And I struggle even to form friendships. I've had very few.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is holding above $26,000 on Sept. 25, continuing to show weakness after last week’s United States Federal Reserve interest rate decision. Will the Fed push Bitcoin price lower?On Sept. 21, Fed officials decided to keep interest rates unchanged.

Instead, they have helped raise investors’ appetite for safer assets like the U.S. dollar. As a result, the 20-day average correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has dropped to -0.73, the lowest since September 2022, suggesting an increasingly inverse relationship. BTC/USD vs. DXY weekly correlation coefficient.

The biggest argument is that the approval of the first gold ETF in 2003 saw gold prices skyrocket over 300% in the following years. These factors have offset each other, producing one of Bitcoin’s least volatile periods in history. Bitcoin’s historical volatility index — a metric that measures BTC price volatility at one-minute intervals for 30 minutes — has dropped to 13.39 this month.By comparison, the index’s peak was 190 in February 2018. Bitcoin historical volatility index monthly performance.

Astro notes 8 🌙

Take what resonates y'all 🔱💛

💫 Aquarius/capricorn placements can be late bloomers (especially moon/venus) when it comes to dating. Aquarius is traditionally ruled by saturn so there could be delay. However, while caps can still stay careful after trying out sth new, aquas may wanna experiment more after their first relationship/experience

✨ I noticed this in the charts of a lot of ppl with their 7th house ruler in the 10th house : they didnt experience romance as early as people their age, they dip their toes into the dating sphere later in life compared to their peers.

🌔 Virgo placements (especially moon/mars) LOVE recycling old things and finding another way of using something they have owned for a while. The archetype of virgo is one who plans and fixes and doesnt do away with stuff just because its broken. They can also be crafty (using old projects in new projects/an old candy box as a jewelry box..)

🌠 The way i looked into the charts of the most hardworking, top ranking students in my class and they all have a virgo mars-

🌕 3 out the past 5 leaders of the dance club in my uni are sag suns. What are the odds 😳

🌗 Aquas 🤝 mutables : bringing in change. Mutable signs see things from different angles and may question why things are done the way they are, hence suggesting new innovative methods to the "old". Aquarius is a sign associated with progress, novelty and rebellion so they also could introduce new ways of doing stuff. However, aquarius's fixed modality makes the change "snap" into existence, Saturn's influence can still cause delay until the aquarius placement native just rebels and blurts out "alright, out with the old". While mutables can be in constant change so its not as shocking.

Tw : mention of seggs

🌙 I dont think its talked about enough just how seggsual cancer placements can be!! The moon rules fertility and the womb after all

🌘 the difference between 5h stellium vs 8th stellium on the topic of seggs : the former tends to focus on pleasure while the 8h stellium focuses on intimacy. (A conversation I witnessed : 5h stellium : - I wanna try all positions and experiment and have fun in the act / 8h stellium : i prefer to stick to romantic positions like missionary) - the rest of the chart can influence this -

End of tw

🌟 A planet in the house it rules works to its full potential. Example : 9h jupiter and ive always been called "wise", I once chose to write a book for a school project (education) about a girl who travels the world (travel) in search for (wisdom), I know a couple 12h neptune natives and their intuition is soo on point they can detect lies from miles away

☀️ Gem and sag are both on the learning axis, but i noticed gems tend to remember the names of the authors and specific quotes taken from books while sags remember just the general concept and ideas

✨I think its pretty funny how a famous kitchen appliances brand is named "taurus" 😭

🌗 Virgo + aqua (personal placements) in a chart = a walking microscope. They be picking things apart as a hobby 🧐

☀️ Sag 🤝 pisces 🤝 leo placements = dramatic squad. It's not talked about enough how dramatic Jupiter ruled signs can be. The planet expands and inflates and this goes for reactions/emotions too

💫 Scorpio 🤝 taurus 🤝 cap 🤝 cancer placements = seeking/feeling comfortable in control. While scorpio/taurus may want it for power, cap/cancer may want it for the sense of stability they get

🌟 Virgo 🤝 scorpio 🤝 aquarius placements = detective squad

🌠 Aries mars culture is getting mad around ppl who do things slowly. My aries mars mom when she saw me (virgo mars) taking my time doing chores to make sure its all perfect she got irritated "omg let me do it myself I enjoy speed!"

🌙 Saturn - ascendant /capricorn risings / 1H saturn natives can have this aura of respect around them. It's hard to explain but they can command respect when they walk into a room, they have the "don't mess with me" vibe even if they have a "soft" rising like cancer or pisces (ex : people apologizing to the natives when they say curse words around them)

[xmoonlitxdreamx]

is your piers trans of gender? also,thoughts on piers x leon x raihan? :]

Yeah, he's genderqueer 🏳️‍⚧️

For piers/leon/raihan: I don't mind it, it's nice! Not really a personal ship of mine tho. Fsr I don't really ship raihan with piers, sth abt my personal characterization for both of them just makes them not rly click as partners for me. I do sometimes think abt Leon/Piers, tho. 🤔 (obv not a knock against the top three ship, i think i just dont project onto piers as much so he's not as involved in my ships LMAO;;)

I'll put some charts of my personal swsh relationship headcanons under the cut... it's not super concrete and tbh makes no sense, but yeah. (Warning for some suggestive commentary in the charts)

It's two charts bc i couldnt fit it into one lmao

Some sexuality/gender hc's:

Kabu: bi, trans man

Leon: bi

Raihan: gay

Piers: no definitive labels, leans panace and genderqueer

Milo: pan

Melony: bi

Nessa: bi

Sonia: lesbian, transfem

.....Idk sth like that.

[projectjasper]

Hello 💛

so christmas break is coming and i've been wanting to start *and binge on* a new bl (that is if I'm not still utterly controlled by bad buddy brainrot lol). anyways, what i had in mind was manner of death. i've tried watching it before when it first came out but the first ep made me cringe sksk. i think there was an accidental kiss or sth like that? i don't really remember but i want to give it another chance. my question here is, is it worth it? (Well obviously yes, i know you love it) but like can you give me a mini review (or an in-detail review, whatever you're comfortable with), sth to hype it up. i really trust your judgement when it comes to this stuff

Have a good day!💛

heyyy!! you're absolutely correct - i do, in fact, love it, it's my second favorite show, i think it's perfect. i'm going to give you a general gist of my feelings along with my dear friend and loyal companion @sporadicauthor's feelings, as i did ask them to help me out here as well (thank u so much ora <3). i kept it as not spoilery as i could, so you could enjoy the series to its fullest:

so, one of the most refreshing things about manner of death is that it's a story about queer people, but not necessarily a story about being queer. and there is nothing wrong with those stories, of course, but it's really cool to see two gay men just doing their thing, you know? it's a murder mystery that happens to have two male leads that are queer and in love with each other. that's fucking incredible.

in general, the series is amazing from start to finish to me - it hasn't disappointed me once: the pacing is perfect, there is no unnecessary drama or plot points, and an absolutely incredible ending. but speaking of the murder mystery specifically - it is good and it is the central point of the series. it's going to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time, trying to guess what's going on, who's in the right, and who's in the wrong. as a cherry on top - it's a murder mystery that does quite a good job of criticizing the system, especially the police, which is so rare and so amazing to see.

another rare thing to see is that we are actually dealing with adults here!! not high schoolers, not uni students, not even someone who's just out of uni - these are grown men meeting each other and falling in love!! i think this is so important to see, also because a lot of us queer alloromantic people miss those "milestones" early in life and get to really experience that side of life later than cishet people.

all characters in the series are very well-written - i can't say anything specific because figuring out the truth about every single person is a big part of the fun, but you will have plenty of people to love and hate, support and admire.

the relationship at the center is also amazing - despite the fucked up circumstances and some unorthodox things happening, they are ultimately equals who respect and support each other. they are in an established relationship throughout pretty much the entire series as well, which is also quite rare.

with that established relationship, you will see a lot of intimacy too - i say this with confidence, no other mlm series has this much intimacy between its leads. and i don't know if someone has told you this before, but in case you don't know - max and tul are some of the best actors we have ever had, and they are also very close, so the chemistry is off the charts.

i also love how the relationship is portrayed as something constant - a lot of the time, especially when the main focus of the series isn't just the relationship, in moments that aren't directly related to said relationship, the characters are often not really portrayed like they are in love, even though in real life you would always think of your partner regardless of what the situation is - manner of death understands this, and you will never feel as if the main characters suddenly don't care for each other the same way they do during the romantic moments because they are occupied with something else. that's what i mean by it being constant.

as a final small point, the series is also shot beautifully, in my opinion, and there is quite a bit of symbolism, which is always lovely.

so hopefully all of this convinces you to watch it, but if you have any follow-up questions - i will gladly answer them!!

[your-astro-mami]

I’ve done a post on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez but once again here are some points on why I love their synastry:

-Her Sun conjuncts his Moon. Her personality and self emotionally fulfills him. This aspect can form a deep connection and understanding between two people. She gets to see his softer side, he relates to her character and feels very comfortable around her.

-Sun-Mercury conjunction from both sides. How can you connect with someone if you don’t understand eachother well? Patience aside, I think this is one of the best aspects. Endless conversation, you get eachother’s ideas and thoughts, you feel comfortable confiding in one another. Great for both platonic and romantic relationships.

-Her Venus conjuncts his Moon. Her love and affection brings him emotional fulfillment. Very gentle love, very comforting love. 

-Her Mars conjuncts his Venus (On my other post I thought it was the other way around). A lot of passion, likely can’t keep their hands off eachother. He likes how she takes action and is probably very impressed by her physically. A lot of attraction. If you have read their messages, you can see this man is in love:

“We are sharing the parachute and it will land safely. We have chosen each other”

'Your energy and ideas and competence and SPIRIT turn me on.”

'You make me better. You're meant for me.'

'I am so full of love for you. My heart is growing just so it can have room for you.

'It's bigger than it's ever been and still swelling.'  

'I want to hold you tight.… I want to kiss your lips…. I love you. I am in love with you,' and 'You know what I want? I want to get a little drunk with you tonight. Not falling down. Just a little drunk. I want to talk to you and plan with you. Listen and laugh … I basically WANT TO BE WITH YOU!!! Then I want to fall asleep with you and wake up tomorrow and read the paper with you and have coffee with you.'

(texts are from Dailymail)

Other aspects they have: Her Mercury conjuncts his MC - he respects her opinion, probably could make good business partnership and partnership in general, Her Lilith opposite his MC - you can see how their scandal was so publicized, she had sth to do with it imo. They have a lot of trines and sextiles which is good. Some of the squares that caught my attention - Her Saturn squares his Mars - she may think he acts before he thinks, kind of unplanned, Her Mercury squares his Jupiter and ASC- her words may hurt his ego, which makes him want to impress her even more. Her Venus squares his Pluto - typical obsessive love, could be either very toxic or very passionate, sometimes both but in their case all of their other aspects make it more positive. As for house placements, since we don’t have her time of birth, we can only see how her planets fall in his chart. Her Moon is in his 1st House - instant connection and understanding the other person. Both people are very comfortable around eachother from the start. Her Venus is in his 8th - can be classic sign of a secretive relationship, their relationship started as an affair in which they were both married. Lots of intimacy, he’s likely very protective of her, maybe possessive. Her Sun is in his 9th - she’s something different, she makes him curious and excited, she has qualities he wants to explore. Her Mercury is in his 10th House - he respects her opinion, likely puts her on pedestal. Incredible for a man in his position I guess. 

P.S. Overall they have my favourite synastry placements and it’s quite obvious. I don’t think their relationship is something to look up to, I don’t care about him, but I love their synastry.

SHINee:

Their youngest member is one of the most versatile artist in kpop, doesn't care about gender roles both in outfits and make up as in choreo, has the most original ideas and creates masterpiece after masterpiece everytime he releases sth new as a soloist, also the best dancer in kpop. Debuted for the first time when he was just 15 (!) and then debuted with other projects in every next generation.

Their "worst" dancer easily keeps up with the best and follows every choreo with no difficulties... basically, their "worst" dancer is best than 80% of kpop idols. Their lead vocal performed opera during their concerts as his solo song, iconic tbh, no other idol would ever be brave enough to do so.

Another one of them is considered the best looking idol (we stan visuals ok) but the more important thing is that behind that gorgeous face and body we find a man who is the most caring person ever, with the softest heart filled with honest, genuine love for all the people around him.

Another one is the most fashionable person in kpop (no one will convince me otherwise), doesn't care about the "proper idol etiquette", is not afraid to say what he thinks no matter what (which is so rare in kpop industry). He's still the same, original "self" as when he first debuted and I'm so proud of him that he never tried to change himself to fit into the "kpop idol" stereotype.

Another one was creating the best, most sensual songs, with very brave (for kpop) and very personal lyrics talking about intimacy, mental health struggles, relationships. Even when fighting depression on his own, he still managed to give words of wisdom and support to fans who were sad or suffering. Even though he was suffering himself, he still managed to smile and laugh and bring us joy and lots of positivity. A huuuuge supporter of lgbtq+ community, was not afraid to be vocal about it even after getting hate for his actions...

Every single one of them has had solo projects, either singing (all of them) or acting, talented af. They've been inspiration to so many new idols, like.. Ask any rookie, they're gonna tell it's shinee who got them into kpop. They've been on top for over 12 years already and they're not stopping. Even during their 2years long break, they'd still place somewhere in top 10 most popular bands every month. They gained their fame in times where there was no tiktok or ig or any other sm that's so popular these days (even YouTube was just like.. 2 or 3 years old when shinee debuted). They genuinely love each other and think of themselves as family. One of them members arrived at TV studio right after being released from military, still in his uniform, just to see another member perform his newest song. They are together again for the first time in two years and they're still the same. The jokes, the banter, the skin ship, the love between them.. It's like nothing has changed, like those long months of separation only made them stronger.

They continuously create their own style, have an image that stands out in a crowd of all the other bands that have ever been active in SK for the past decade. They've had no major scandals, ever. They continue to shine, inspire, create, bring joy to their fans no matter the circumstances. They went through the worst imaginable thing as a band and yet they didn't let harsh comments and insensitive people break them and still managed to comeback with one of the most iconic performances ever.

They don't have the biggest number of prizes, they're not the most popular band in history, they're not on top of all the charts and for gp they are not "the only band ever..." or "the first band to..." these days but jfc they are for me. And for so many other people who get so much joy and entertainment from SHINee. Those fans who have been with them for ages, those who've only joined them recently. Those who've seen all their performances from the beginning and those who only saw the last ones. SHINee are not just another kpop bband. And I know it sounds very stupid and childish for those who are not familiar with them but.. They truly changed my life for the better and I'm going to be forever grateful for that.

Thank you, SHINee, for being the brightest stars, keep shining for ever!!!

But do you believe astrology dictates a person life? I got a reading told my bf and I are not a match and after getting into LOA i believed it was due to my previous belief. But after seeing your post I question myself again :(. I don’t mean to cause drama or sth, it’s just he means alot to me...

Yes and no. I think it provides explanation reassurance and self reflection but despite charts you can be successful rich famous loved etc. it more or less shows inclinations and enhancements not end all’s or be all’s. You can still have this person in your life and be loved despite a chart saying no. Just make sure it’s the right person and invest in healthy relationships with yourself and others. You can have beliefs outside the loa but tackle them nuance and learn to analyze them :) I hope this makes sense(?? If not I apologize). Also this is personal belief so you don’t have to believe in it. Just take the meat and spit out the bones

hello! hope you’re doing well. i need your advice on sth :( so, there’s a girl and we argued and haven't spoken for a few days. How do you think I should approach her? her sun&moon in virgo (has a virgo stellium also) and her venus&mars in libra (lol what a chart) i’ll be glad if you can help me, thank you💕

Hey, I hope you’re doing well too!

Offfff! I have to say arguing with a Virgo is quite tiring. Now I don’t know the nature of your relationship, so I’ll simply based off astrology.

In my experience, Virgo placements are super sensitive to everything, even though they would deny it, but they take things and twist them in their heads and weave this long ass conspiracy over something like yesterday leftovers for instance.

I suggest that you try and talk to them again but this time acknowledge what they’re saying by giving them ability to let it all out and then affirm it. Virgo and Libra need to be heard to continue the conversation.

Now again, I don’t know what was the argument about but I can tell already it was about something unnecessary, judging from how calm your writing is.

If they still don’t hear ya, the whatever, they’ll come around. Ask them out for food and they’ll shut up about, it always works.

Thank you for the question and I hope everything turns out well 💕
