ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS- 019
Hi guys, I'm back with more astrology observations!!
If you'd like a paid reading, 👉click here 👈
If you would like to check out my other astrology observations, check me out at @okuhle23 .
☆People with Venus in Capricorn/ Venus conjunct Saturn age so beautifully. This placement may mean that you start putting more effort in how you look at a older age. It may also mean that you may experience a later glowup. This is because Saturn represents aging and delays while Venus rules beauty.
☆Leo rules hot and humid air, so countries ruled by Leo may experience very hot summers. Examples include: Afghanistan, India, Zanzibar, Chad, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives, and Pakistan.
☆People with Moon/Virgo in the 6th may really love animals, and may be really attached to their own pets if they have any.
☆People with Neptune in the 1st may constantly experience people making assumptions about them based on how they look or dress. Neptune rules assumptions and the 1st house shows your appearance. This placement can also indicate being idealized by people who don't even know you well, these people are like a fantasy to others.
☆Neptune conjunct Mars/Pluto can make you appear rather sexual and promiscuous, you may also have many secret admirers. This is because Neptune represents illusions and Pluto/ Mars represents sex and things related to sex
☆Venus in the 3rd may date people in their neighbourhood, or their partners live very close to them. This is because Venus represents love/romantic relationships, while the 3rd house represents your local community.
☆Pluto or Scorpio in the 5th/7th house can mean that you prefer to keep your love life private. You probably don't like to show off your partner. You may also get extremely jealous if other people flirt with your partner. This is because Pluto/Scorpio represents secrets and jealousy while the 5th and 7th house shows ones relationships (5th house=casual relationships and 7th house=long-term relationships)
☆People with Neptune in the 1st/ 10th are be goofy as hell, some people may even view you as weird😂. This is because Neptune rules abnormal behavior, while the 1st and 10th house show how others see you.
☆People with Mars in the 6th/10th house may have dangerous jobs, or you may risk getting hurt on the job quite often(either burning yourself, or constantlyclimbing up high things). If you have an office job you may find that your colleagues see you as competition, and therefore treat you with hostility. This is because Mars rules danger, abrasions and hostility while the 6th and 10th houses represent your job.
☆Where Uranus is placed in you chart can show your aura, this is because Uranus rules auras:
▪︎ Uranus in the 1st: your aura colour is red❣️. You come off as strong, fierce and confident. Perhaps you've been told that you're intimidating at times, and you're also really competitive.
▪︎ Uranus in 2nd: your aura colour is green💚. You come off as beautiful, wealthy and at times, stubborn😭. You have a calming aura to you, you can reconnect with your true self by going into nature.
▪︎ Uranus in the 3rd: your aura colour is yellow💛. You are energetic, like to travel and explore different places and you are intellectual. Your aura is sometimes quite scattered, and may change often because of your changeable energy.
▪︎ Uranus in the 4th: your aura colour is white🤍. You are caring, kinda introverted and loyal. You aura can change often based on your emotions.
▪︎ Uranus in the 5th: your aura colour is gold🪙. You are loyal, proud and you have royal energy. People may view you as luxury loving, you like being spoiled.
▪︎ Uranus in the 6th: your aura colour is emerald green🌲. You are grounded, kind but sometimes a bit too self-critical (you pretty asf babe). People may view your energy as really stable and 'neat'. It may be hard to read your energy because you're good at putting up a front.
▪︎ Uranus in the 7th: your aura colour is pink 💗. You are loving, romantic and beautiful. You may be a very cooperative, non-confrontational person and may be viewed as submissive by others.
▪︎ Uranus in the 8th: your aura colour is black 🖤. You are mysterious, intimidating and you are very loyal. You radiate sensual, seductive energy.
▪︎ Uranus in the 9th: your aura colour is orange🧡. You are outgoing, energetic and social. You may be viewed as a very busy person, always travelling or doing something.
▪︎ Uranus in the 10th: your aura colour is brown🤎. You are hardworking, confident(girlboss💸 ), and you really enjoy money. People may view you as bring really serious and you don't play about your money.
▪︎ Uranus in the 11th: your aura colour is blue💙. You are innovative, unique and intelligent. Your energy doesn't just fit into one category, one second you could be energetic and the other, you're lazy asf.
▪︎ Uranus in the 12th: your aura colour is purple💜. You are artistic, empathic and ethereal. You may be overly compassionate, so be careful of people who want to manipulate your energy.
☆Venus-Pluto hard aspects (square, opposition) can mean that other women hate on you out of jealousy or envy. This is because Pluto can show malice/ jealousy while Venus represents females.
☆Venus in the 3rd can indicate that you'll meet your future lover in your neighborhood. Or your partners may live close to you. This is because Venus rules love and romantic relationships while the 3rd house can represent the neighborhood you grew up in.
☆Ruler of the 1st house in the 2nd house can mean that you just look rich, or people assume that you're wealthy because of how you look or the clothes and accessories you wear. This is because the 1st house rules your appearance and first impressions and 2nd house can represent luxury and wealth. You may spend a lot of money on your looks (skincare, clothing, makeup etc).
Thank you for getting to the end 😊.

Around the World Part 9
And here we are at the end of the story. There is one more story left to be told. And that's "The Rise of The Fallen" which is scheduled to come out on Sunday. Then the second and final part will come out on Tuesday.
In this one, we get the reactions from Steve's other friends and Murray appears for a final fuck you to Nancy. With another sweet cameo from Vickie.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8
~
They made their merry way through Europe, Murray keeping his eagle-eye out for fans and paparazzi alike, all while Steve took pictures of Eddie different outfits. His personal favorite was of Eddie standing next a group of Corroded Coffin fans at ‘The Shining” motel in Germany.
His hair was tucked up under a hat and he wore a baggy jeans and wore a fuzzy blue-grey sweater. He still had his scruff and the sunglasses almost made him look more like Johnny Depp, then Eddie Munson.
Eddie was sure to steer clear of blacks and leathers and to keep his hair out of his face. He even wore a bright orange wig in Romania and Vlad the Impaler’s real castle and not the one Hollywood used for their movies.
Everyone agreed he looked dreadful in the wig, but they couldn’t deny the damn thing’s effectiveness.
They parted with Murray in Greece. He had found a lovely little cottage to settled down in and so they bid their travel partner farewell.
There in while they were viewing the Hagia Sophia in Turkiye because Chrissy expressed an interest, they met Gareth and Shane.
“Eddie!” Gareth cried and ran into his arms for a big hug.
Robin and Steve were treated to the same bear hug from Shane. Steve held Shane at arms length and smiled. His twin looked good. There was a sparkle to his eyes that had been missing on the tour.
“You look great!” he enthused to Shane’s bemusement.
“Don’t I always?” Shane teased.
Steve laughed. “Of course you do, but you look...”
“Healthy,” Robin supplied.
Then Shane truly blushed. “Thanks. Someone suggested that maybe Muslim countries might be the way to go to avoid certain vices...”
“And how is that working out for you?” Steve asked with a smile.
“Good,” Shane said, “great even.”
They decided to tour the rest of Istanbul together. Just taking in all the beautiful sites.
Steve led Shane away from the group as they were saying their goodbyes.
“What’s on your mind, twin?” Shane asked, leaning up against the railing that looked out into the city.
“Eddie asked me to marry him.” Steve fiddled with the necklace as he spoke.
Shane gently took it from his nervous fingers and smiled. “What’s the charm on his necklace, then?”
“Wings.”
Shane’s smile widened. “Because of course it is. He’s going take good care of you, you know?”
Steve blushed and nodded his head. “Yeah. Yeah, I do.”
“Good,” Shane said with a soft smile. “Now tell me all about how he proposed.”
So he did. He launched into the whole story, including the mess in Venice.
“Nice to see he isn’t Mr. Perfect,” Shane said with a huff of laughter. “But good on him realizing he done fucked up, though.”
“Yeaaahhh,” Steve said with wry smile.
They walked back to the others and Eddie looked up at Steve and smiled. Steve smiled back.
~
Their tour through Asia saw them seeing haunted forests and beautiful tombs. They saw the Terracotta warriors and the Great Wall of China, Himeji Castle and Aokigahara in Japan, the Chaukhadi Tombs in Pakistan. Finally they arrived in beautiful India.
They stood in front of the one of the most well known tombs in the world. The Taj Mahal. It was even more beautiful in person than it was in pictures.
Eddie turned to Steve. “When I die are you going to build me as beautiful a tomb as this?”
“Yeah, babe,” Steve said, pulling him close. “Everyone will know the resting place of Eddie Munson, rockstar and best boyfriend in the world.”
Eddie blushed and ducked his head, his hair tucked away as had become the norm on this trip. “Shucks, Stevie. I thought you were going to say no.”
Steve laughed, giddy. “Never. Maybe we should start building it now, like the pyramids in Egypt so you can be interred with your guitar collection.”
Eddie’s went wide. “You do love me!” He wrapped his arms around Steve and kissed him soundly.
“The things they allow in public these days,” huffed a fond female voice behind them.
The four of them turned to see Nadia, Spence and a couple of well dressed young men that must have been Nadia’s brothers.
“Nadia! Spence!” Robin squealed and ran over to give them huge hugs. She even included the brothers in her enthusiastic greetings.
“These are my brothers, Indra and Jai,” Nadia said introducing them. “This is Spence’s friend, Steve, his boyfriend Eddie and Chrissy and Robin also Steve and Eddie’s friends.”
They all greeted each other.
“You know,” Eddie said with a huff of laughter. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say Stevie’s friends were social media stalking us as we’ve met up with everyone at this point.”
“You saw Simon and Shane, too?” Spence asked, tilting his head to the side. “I knew you guys were traveling the world, but Italy and Turkiye, as well?”
“We’ve been having a blast!” Robin said throwing her arms out. “Chrissy and I are heading back to the States after India, but Steve and Eddie are going to continue with Australia, some Africa and a couple places in South America before coming home to California.”
Spence bit his lip. “Are you sure that’s a good idea?” He waved vaguely at Eddie.
Eddie grinned. “We’ve been taking the proper precautions and we wanted to extend our trip out a little bit more.”
Spence looked to Steve who nodded.
“Well,” Nadia said with her own huff of laughter. “If the biggest thing that happened was Boston and that was almost two months ago and you haven’t been spotted since, I think they’ll be just fine.”
Spence looked down at her with a broad grin. “You’re right.”
“You best get used to that,” the younger of the two boys, Jai said, “she is always right. Even our mom agrees with her most of the time.”
“It’s frightening,” Indra said, with a nod.
Nadia just smiled up at Spence with find amusement.
“Yup!” Spence said, pressing his lips together. “Learning that lesson fast.”
Steve let out a laugh and soon everyone had joined in.
~
They toured India a little more with suggestions from Indra who was also a spooky fan and then they moved on.
Everywhere they went, Eddie had tried on a different look. Often blending in with the locals. There were exotic locales and spooky hotels. And in each place, Steve took a picture of Eddie incognito.
Steve laughed more in those four months then he had since he started being Abbadon in The Fallen.
Eddie was right, being a normal guy had its perks and getting to spend that with Eddie? Really made it all worth it.
Far too soon they were lifting off the runway in Mexico City on their way back to their lives.
“Well, Stevie,” Eddie said with a smile, “you ready to go back home?”
Steve nodded. “Yeah, I loved traveling the world. Especially with Chrissy and Robin. Seeing the guys doing so well. It really made it all worth while. But I want to sleep in my bed. I want to start writing again. I really didn’t that much while we were traveling. I learned so much out here about me, I almost can’t wait to be Abbadon again.”
“I learned a lot about me, too,” Eddie agreed. “I’ve rarely had a chance to be myself in the last ten years that I almost forgot where I came from. I’m not the leather and chains. I’m not the heavy metal rockstar. I’m just a poor schmuck from Hawkins, Indiana who got so fucking lucky.”
“You think you’re next album is going to reflect that?” Steve asked as he rummaged in his backpack for his book.
“Probably,” Eddie huffed in amusement. “After the third solely dedicated to you.”
“Only a third?” he teased. “Dustin was sure it was half.”
Eddie buried his head in his hands. “Why do we tell that butthead anything?”
“I figure it’s that open and round face of his,” Steve groused. “It just screams ‘trust me’.”
Eddie cocked his head to the side and then nodded. “Yeah, that tracks.”
~
Steve’s first stop after getting off the plane was straight to Vickie’s office. He needed to clear something with her before he went nuclear.
Vickie raised her head and smiled when Steve knocked on her door.
“Nichole said it was okay to just come in,” he said with a smile.
“And Nichole would be correct,” she said indicating the chairs in front of her, “have a seat. Tell me all about your lovely vacation. Thank you for sending me pictures by the way, it helped me and my team keep up on all the goings on and keep fan reactions to a minimum.”
“You’re welcome!” Steve said brightly, closing the door behind him. “So this is about the pictures, actually.”
“Oh?” she said, leaning back in her chair. “Do tell.”
So Steve did.
At the end of his explanation and question Vickie grinned. “I think that’s a beautiful way to do it. I’ll make sure she’s served before you send out the message and you’re all good to go.”
“I have an idea on who should serve her, too,” he said, grinning back at her.
“If you’re thinking of who I’m thinking of,” she said slyly, “then it’ll be perfect.”
Steve just smiled.
~
There was a knock on the door and Nancy went up to get it. She had just finished applying for schools to change her career from being an agent to a journalist. The thought of really getting to the heart of a story like she had on the school newspaper all those years ago, really lit something in her.
She opened the door and there was a short man with thick, wire glasses and a sneering grin.
“Wait, you’re Murray Bauman, right?” she asked. “Had I know you were coming I would have opened a bottle of wine to commiserate with. Both of us having been discarded like trash when Corroded Coffin was done with us.”
Murray shrugged. “It was time. I needed the push to retire. Got myself a lovely little cottage in Greece now.”
She blinked at him for a moment. “Then why are you here?”
“This!” He handed her a large manilla envelope and waved goodbye.
Inside was a cease and desist as well as a notification that she may have violated an NDA.
“Shit.”
There was another paper in the envelope and when she pulled it out, her heart sank. She slumped against the wall and let the picture fall to the floor. It was a picture of the London Eye in the background with Chrissy and Robin on one side and Steve and Eddie on the other and in the middle smiling up at the camera, clearly taken by someone else, was Murray Bauman.
~
Steve and Eddie were snuggled up on Steve’s bed, Eddie curled around Steve.
Steve hit send and put the phone down to wrap his arms around Eddie. “There. All posted across all social media. I’ve put us both on mute and Vickie is going to handle the next forty-eight hours.”
“I wish I could have seen her face when she saw the picture,” Eddie huffed with a grin.
“Me, too.”
Steve’s phone lit up once to confirm the post of: “Traveling with a rockstar is like playing hide and seek with fans. How many of you saw him but didn’t realize you were standing next to Eddie Munson?! Also, to the 'fan' who outed us in Boston, we know who you are and an NDA maaaayyyy have been violated. You'll speak to our lawyers soon! “
Eddie and Steve soon drifted off to sleep, content with their lives.

Revolutionaries : The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom
In this book, the economist Sanjeev Sanyal explores the often-overlooked armed insurgencies led by Indian freedom fighters against British rule. Through the stories of these freedom fighters' struggles and sacrifices, Sanyal argues that their resistance was crucial in shaping India’s path to independence.
Revolutionaries: The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom is a popular history book about the sacrifice of the Indian people during the Indian Revolution. The author, Sanjeev Sanyal, is currently a member of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Economic Advisory Council while previously having worked at Deutsche Bank. The book aims to discuss the often ignored and mostly forgotten armed insurrections against the British Raj that took place alongside the much more celebrated non-violence movement. It recounts the triumphs and tribulations of revered martyrs like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad and the equally deserving, though lesser-known, freedom fighters like Rash Behari Bose and Sachindra Nath Sanyal. However, it is important to keep in mind that the author is not a trained historian but a politician.
This book attempts to change the perception of how the uprising against British rule was a scattered series of events fueled by misguided heroism, doomed to fail in their ultimate goals from the start. It was the doings of a well-planned network of revolutionary cells that stretched not just across the country, but across the world. Delving into the writings of figures like Aurobindo Ghosh and Sachindra Nath Sanyal, this book reveals a different perspective on their actions and goals. Rather than the "extremists" and "terrorists" portrayed by the British and their Indian loyalists, these works showcase mature and rational individuals driven by a deep love for their nation.
In the end, this book turns into a tragedy when readers are shown how only a handful of these revolutionaries lived to see an independent India (as opposed to the majority of the Gandhian faction). It was heartbreaking to see the plight of these revolutionaries and their families in newly independent India - neglected by the very nation they helped liberate. The soldiers of the Indian National Army (INA) or the naval ratings who took part in the naval mutiny of 1946 were not reinstated into independent India’s armed forces. In Pakistan, Jinnah allowed Muslim generals of the INA to join the army that fought wars with India, over Kashmir in 1947-1948. In a bitter twist of irony, the only battles the veterans of the Azad Hind Fauj (INA's Hindi name - literally "Free India Army") fought in after independence, were against an Azad Hind (Free India).
Like all of Sanjeev Sanyal’s books, Revolutionaries uses engaging language and prose, allowing readers to become acquainted with the general picture of Indian history if they are not familiar with this topic. Sanyal has also traveled to many of the places discussed in this book. From the site of the little curry restaurant Rash Behari Bose opened in Japan to the winding Calcutta gullies that witnessed Subhas Chandra Bose's daring escape to Germany, readers get a rich sense of place alongside the historical narrative.
In many of Sanyal's writings about Indian history, he has been attempting to write a revisionist history of India that has received mixed reviews because of its skewed narrative and obvious preference toward one side. His other books include The Ocean of Churn: How the Indian Ocean Shaped Human History (2016) and Land of the Seven Rivers: A Brief History of India's Geography (2012)

You're Keeping Me Down
So what if I said the sequel to Dedicated to New Lovers coming out so so soon.....(like this week)
and if you wanted to be tagged in the sequel, you should 100% let me know right now
p.s I'm still trying to decide if it should have a happy ending or a sad ending. Like there's so much angst that I had to stop because I cried while writing it, so there's nothing short of angst, but...trying to figure out this ending is so hard.
p.p.s. a lil sneak peek
“Well, well, well, look who it is.” He dropped his file on his desk and met you in the middle of the side aisle of the bullpen, pulling you into a bone crushing hug. “My woman.” He muttered into your hair, giving you an extra squeeze before pulling away slightly.
“What’s up sexy.” You laughed, thrilled to hear he hadn’t changed too much while you were away.
“I’m sexy? Have you seen yourself recently?” He laughed and you gave him a twirl, eager to show off one of your favorite dresses. “And where did you get this? Wait wait, let me guess.”
You pursed your lips, failing to hide the smile that was beaming across your face.
“Was it your time in Taiwan? No no…Pakistan?”
“So close. India. Maybe next time champ.” You patted his arm, turning your head at the gasp from behind me.
“Do my eyes deceive me, or is that Doctor Y/N Y/L/N, world traveler extraordinaire?”
“JJ you saw me three days ago.”
JJ pulled you into a hug. “Yea over Facetime.” she grumbled, not even trying to pretend she was upset at the sight of you in person. “You seriously have to stop sending Henry so much stuff.”
“Some of it is for the other one too.” You muttered to her, knowing she wasn’t fully public with her pregnancy at the BAU just yet.
“I’ll be right back.” You placed your hands on their arms, turning towards Hotch’s office. As you went to knock on the door, it opened, leaving you face to face with the only person you weren’t really ready to confront just yet.
“Hi.” He breathed out.
And fuck you, he looked so good.

Other Countries in the Squirrel and Hedgehog AUs, Part One, Plus OCs
Chaand Hadia (Moon Gift, Urdu)
For my AUs, I will have Flower Hill (North Korea) be very close to the country of Chaand Hadia (Moon Gift), located the left of the country. I'm ignoring the distance in between them for now, because this is fiction and I have decided it.
Location and Geography: Shares a border with Flower Hill. Plains, plateaus, mountains, rivers, fertile valleys, and ocean make for varied regions.
The Farmhouse Villa for Lily Bell in the Thorn Thicket most likely takes place a few hours from the border between Flower Hill and Chaand Hadia.
Government: democratic parliamentary federal republic but local cultural rules specific regions.
Economy: The economy is largely based off of herbs, medicines, and dyes, with large exports of textiles. Essential medical compounds are grown in villages around the country or on mountaintops. Herbalists are seen as an essential job, and doctors that travel between small villages and neighboring countries are commonplace.
Flower Hill provides a lot of silk to Chaand Hadia, and receives essential medicines, dyes, and weapon components (in secret) that they may not have been able to grow or find themselves.
Demographics: hog deer, goats, sheep, boars, mongoose, Indian pangolin, striped hyenas, black and brown bears
Culture: Each province has it’s own rules and specific clothing styles based on the standard. Important families carry a detailed pocket compass to identify themselves, although the meanings can vary, and the presence of one can be a coded message.
Foreign Relations: Balanced and outwardly neutral, although getting more and more friendly with Flower Hill. Very friendly with Chambelli Koh.
Relation to Flower Hill: Alongside regular trade, secretly smuggles extra weapons and medicines into Flower Hill, possibly even up to weapons of mass destruction. After all, if Flower Hill falls the the Weasel Unit, their own coastlines will be next. Will not do anything overtly to support their neighbor, though, unless pushed.
Traditional Clothing Style (Not military attire): Shalwar kameez, hijab, Niqab. Clothing used to be more plain until they began acquiring large amounts of silk from Flower Hill.
OC Character: Soor-Hiran (May appear Briefly)
Rei-Does-Stuff mentioned the idea of a goat that could smuggle weapons and such into Flower Hill, and to Geumsaegi. I made a joke about the deer I had made in Lily Bell in the Thorn Thicket, who does kind of do that. They responded with the concept of the Pakistani hog-deer, with absolutely no hesitation. Later, they discussed how Pakistan was such a close ally of North Korea, to the point that they smuggled nuclear weapons into the country. Well, that was also a background plot (not a spoiler), and the deer smuggling weapons and poisons may be a larger plot-line in the current AU. So, we got to talking.
As such, I would like to formally dedicate my Hog-Deer Smuggler, Soor-Hiran, to @Rei-Does-Stuff.
Gender: Ambiguous.
Country: Chaand Hadia (Moon gift, Urdu)
Alliance: Chaand Hadia
Attire: Hijab, loose trousers and shirts (Shalwar kameez), but province styles are blended together.
Skills: Herbs, medicine, espionage, deceit, eavesdropping, eidetic memory of mountain paths and plants, and schematics.
Weapon: Poison needles.
Day job: traveling herbalist, doctor. Is allowed to travel between Chaand Hadia and Flower Hill, and works with the commanders in Cherry Valley, as permitted by their own government. Alongside medicines, they bring materials for weapons, schematics, and messages pertaining to Weasel Unit movements and acquisitions. Their village is next to the border of Flower Hill, so it is easy to travel in between.
Works with: markhor goat group of apprentice herbalists and couriers. But they may be more than they seem to be...
Secret Job and backstory: While they will happily accept requests from Flower Hill, Soor-Hiran's group secretly works as a black market smuggler. Other weapons, foods, stolen items, jewels, and information are sold to those willing to pay the price. So far, the Weasel Unit has been unable to afford their cost, but how desperate will they get until they are willing to pay?
Likes: Silk, moths, flowers
Dislikes: being belittled for their culture
Personal Item: Beloved family antique pocket compass/sundial. This specific heirloom allows them free entry into Flower Hill.
OC Character: Pangulggot
Gender: Male
Country and Alliance: Chaand Hadia
Attire: loose trousers and shirts (Shalwar kameez)
Skills: medicine, ignoring things that don't apply to him.
Weapon: nothing other than his scales and claws. Is far too mild mannered to fight back if attacked for the most part. His scales prevent him from being harmed.
Day Job: traveling herbalist and medicine worker, bringing important medicinal components to Flower Hill
Works with: markhor goat group of apprentice herbalists, guards, and couriers
Likes: his job, Lily of the Valley flowers
Dislikes: People trying to eat Lily of the Valley Flowers. They are poisonous, but yet...
Backstory: They do very much love their name. However:
Pangulggot is aware that authorities act strangely when they say their name, and tries to hide it, since there is something going on that they probably should not know. Possibly a dangerous individual with the same name, or a military code word…?
Whatever it is, they sure notice that it gets them pulled into empty rooms while going through customs and checkpoints as ‘randomly selected,’ for extra questioning that sure sounds like they contain specific phrases for a specific person he is not.
