PAC: The end of your 2024

Please keep in mind, I am very specific in my readings. Not every reading you come across it for you. Don’t let the content stress or excite you too much. Take it as entertainment.

IF YOU CANT DECIDE BASED ON PHOTO, EACH PILE BEGINS WITH ASTRO PLACEMENTS THAT I PICKED UP ON.

1

WARNING: This reading contains darker topics like death. Please keep in mind tarot isn’t set in stone. It’s a read of the current energies surrounding the topic.

YOUR PLACEMENTS:

Scorpio Asc/First House

Pisces Moon esp @ 10-15 degrees

Libra Moon esp @ 7-9 degrees

Gemini Asc/First House

This reading begins with a change in home and family. This may have already occurred or soon will this Fall.

Some of you may be moving. Some of you may have a family member or roommate moving out. Some of you may experience a death in the family - pet, elder parent or grandparent or aunt/uncle, etc. There is a letting go occurring in the home and family.

For most, this is not a surprise. You may have planned the move for the Fall. You may know this family member or roommate is leaving. You may know someone in the family is very sick - comments about death/dying may have already been made.

This change in home and family will have taken place Aug-October. As a result, late Oct- early Nov, you will now step into a new chapter of life.

Potential changes pile 1 will experience:

❤️‍🔥 You may begin to change/adapt to your new way of living in your new home environment.

❤️‍🔥 You may make changes to your appearance. These changes could be on the face. Ex: New hairstyle, New skincare, Lip filler, Eyelash extensions, etc. Be cautious of impulsive change. Some may regret this change later.

❤️‍🔥 You may feel inspired to embrace sag themes- make plans or take action on travel & higher education. You may feel philosophical - questioning or embracing your religious/spiritual beliefs.

In November, you will meet new people. This could be due to a new career/job, having moved to a new place or school, etc. This person or people could have sag placements, be from a different ethnic, racial, or religious background.

In November, 2nd H is highlighted. Income, possessions, and money in general are prominent. By late Nov - early Dec, you could find a job, be promoted, or make a big financial choice (selling a possession, purchasing something big).

Be sure to read the fine print. Don’t be impulsive with your choices around this time. Rather than a physical appearance change, it may be this financial change you regret. There is a lot of room for error around this time. Regret may be dramatic. It’s more likely you may make a clerical error that will be an inconvenience to go fix.

2

YOUR PLACEMENTS:

Sag South Node esp @ 15-18 degrees

Libra Rising esp @ 6-1 degrees

Cancer Mars esp @ 25-29 degrees

You could have conflict with a family member early Fall. This may be a sibling or someone who acts immaturely. Or they could be a literal child. Major childish energy from this person.

You could be cutting ties with this person. It may not be forever for most of you. Some of you simply need to temporarily let this person go in order to regain your peace of mind.

Nov-Dec, Venus themes are prominent - money, love, beauty. South Node card indicates it’s because there is a decrease/letting go. It may be karmic for some of you.

Some of you could end a relationship (platonic, romantic or business). It won’t be a surprise. You’ll likely feel this connection fading out early Fall. The disappointment or stress from this could make you care less for yourself. You may indulge yourself with food or shopping. However, if you are the person who neglects themselves when sad, you may unintentionally loose weight.

You could feel very drained nov-dec.

Possible EXAMPLES:

💜 You could make financial purchases that literally drain your bank account.

💜 You could feel very tired and unmotivated. Seasonal depression.

💜 For some of you in specific, the drained and tired feeling is due to a health matter - pregnancy, cold/flu, injury, etc.

Unfortunately, mid to late Fall seems to be a lot of deep reflecting. You could feel hopeless. You could question the path you’re on. There will be some good moments - you could be celebrating someone else (birthdays, graduation, weddings, engagement, etc).

Truthfully, it seems seeing this event (in person or on socials) will only make you feel worse about your own situation. There is so much inner turmoil here. None of it seems to be coming as a surprise.

On the bright side, at the end of Dec, it seems you are replanning for the future. Some of you may find a new job or be promoted.

3

YOUR PLACEMENTS:

Aqua Rising/First house esp early degrees

SCORPIO MC esp @ 7-10 degrees

Venus Gemini esp @ 20-25 degrees

Scorpio Placements esp @ 7-19 degrees

🍂🍂🍂 🍂🍂🍂

This reading starts with a shocking & sudden change. You may have already experienced this or soon will.

Possible manifestations of this:

🍂 You could have made sudden changes to your appearance.

🍂 You could be changing your life direction. Your mindset towards life could be changing. It may be initially darker.

🍂 You may have undergone some kind of crisis. You could be having troubles with home or family. You could have experienced a painful ending of some sort.

There are some feelings & thoughts you can’t repress anymore. This will become more clear early Fall.

10th H Card - This suggests this change may have to do with your reputation and career. Late Oct - Early Nov, you may get a fresh start in career - new job, promotion, new role, etc. You may embrace a teacher role regardless of what you do. People may look to you for help around this time.

You could feel powerful. Some of you will seriously be stepping into a higher role/elevated status.

You may meet people especially Nov-Dec. There is potential for romance. Either you or them will approach cautiously due to past experiences. I can’t promise this spark will go far for everyone. Some of you may find this person or you want to keep things casual/friendly.

Astro Observations #1

Heyy, this is my first A.O. so I hope it isn’t too bad!😅

• Fire mercuries & Water mercuries are such a chaotic combo lmao!

• Cancer and Pisces Venuses together can make for an emotionally manipulative couple, especially if there's harsh aspects with inner planets.

• Leo mars looove taking selfies, photos, videos of EVERYTHING lmao they can even go as far as staging scenarios, but hey at least you can look back on those memories.

• Pisces sun Libra moons are such softies! Especially if they have a Pisces stellium!

• Leo moons can care so much about their appearance and what others think of them. Some of them have mother's with Libra placements, especially Libra moons.

• Aquarius moons may not be emotionally close with their mothers but have a best friends type relationship with their moms.

• Gemini moon moms might force their child into growing up via maturity while Virgo moon moms might force their child into growing up via emotional and sometimes physical distance.

• Underdeveloped Leo moons with Cancer risings can be so immature and ultra sensitive at times.

• Gemini risings tend to literally live with their head in the clouds. More prone to being taken advantage of by their friends or being hated on for their playful childlike mannerisms.

• Sun-Jupiter people can just be so full energy? Probably that one person that you might not see that often but when you do they always seem to be in a good mood. They're also the type to keep things optimistic even at the worst of times.

• Aries moons with Libra risings never really express their anger out in the open, they’re more likely to express it through passive aggression. If they have an Aquarius mars then they can explode unexpectedly.

• People love to associate Pisces placements with feet and foot fetishes but why is that more of an Aquarius mars thing though? Like I have seen several Aquarius mars men be into foot kinks.

• Checking the ascendant of your ascendant persona chart is essencial! Because whyy is it so accurate? My mom's natal rising is Cancer but her ASC PC rising is Aries and that is soo much more accurate! She also has a thing for dyeing her hair red all the time lol.

• Sag stelliums can be so nonchalant, funny and agressive. Like they will literally threaten you out the blue but 5 minutes later you’ll both be laughing at some crazy life story they just told.

• Libra risings can be the biggest gossips along with Gemini risings.

• Cancer risings, what is it with being on defence mode all the time? Especially if there's fire in the chart. Definitely gives off kill or be killed vibes.

• Capricorn moons and Aquarius moons vibe so well together. Literally me & my sister have these placements so we just click lol.

• Taurus stelliums can be soo possessive especially Sun/moon. But they're also charismatic and love to spoil their loved ones.

• Capricorn suns with water moons are literally the sweetest! Although with Scorpio moon they might be more reserved, they are literally so sweet and caring just more in a low-key way. And if they like you? They’re the biggest softies.

• Taurus suns with Libra moons can be so self conflicted at times, especially if they have water risings. They can also be kind of bipolar but they're sweet people. Another down side could be lack of self esteem, depression or suicidal thoughts. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not the end of the world and there’ll be better days babes. <3

• Fire moons (not all) tend to have kids later in life. Either that or they’re absent in their kids’ lives.

• They also tend to be put on pedestal by their children and seen as very fun parents.

• Water suns tend to idolize their dads when they’re little but as they grow up either they experience a traumatic situation involving him or they realize their dad built to their trauma in some way. And so their rose colored glasses come off. • Air risings tend to be the spitting image of their fathers. With their mother’s tempers and slight mannerisms.

• Capricorn/Aquarius in big 6 can indicate being the oldest sibling. • Libra risings are so adorable, like they will literally ask their best friend for their opinion on almost everything. Even for the slightest things. Then again almost all Libra placements are like that.

• Libra placements 🤝 asking for others’ advice, agreeing with it, then doing the complete opposite.

• Aquarius mercuries can be so logical but at the same time can say the weirdest shit ever.

• Sag mercuries can say the most out of pocket stuff and still think it’s normal.🤪

• Gemini moons/Gemini risings 🤝 talking about feelings instead of openly expressing them.

persona charts observations based on my placements

my natal placements which can help to understand my casual appearance: Virgo Asc & Mars in the 12th house, the 1st house Virgo Sun, the 2nd house Libra Venus & Mercury, Moon in Taurus in the 9th house. probably, you imagined a plain nerd or clean-aesthetic girl when you read this, right? actually, these placements describe me so well in everyday life. I'm not an eye-catching person at all. my style is simple, and a random passerby would not even remember me after 5 minutes. that's why it was difficult for me to explain the hell obsession with femme-fatale or heroin chick aesthetics, piercing, tattoos, provocative, sometimes over-sexualized photos etc. like, on my Instagram, I mostly have a different, even self-destructive, rigid vibe. recently, I've checked my ascendant person chart. guess, what? Sagittarius Asc conjunction Pluto as a ruler of the 12th house. add the 1st house Mars here. and the 8th house Leo Venus. now, I have no more questions. I guess it can be connected with the idea that the ASC persona chart can reveal your "inner self", the way you dream of presenting yourself to society, but for some reason it is not available. almost all my photos are taken alone by myself, as I am shy, so it's like my own safe-space. that's why I can only show this side of myself while taking photos.

despite the fact that persona charts are not researched properly yet, I'll try to provide some insight into how to better understand and interpret them. it's like Inside Out cartoon. like each "emotion", each part of your life represented by a certain planet has its own natal chart. for example, in my Mars persona chart I have IC in Cancer with the 4th house Venus being squared by Scorpio Moon. you can't imagine how furious I can be if someone attacks my family. however, as it is not a trine, but a square, it usually creates a situation where "I can say anything about my family because it's MY family, but if YOU try, I'll cut off your head". moreover, my Mars is in the 8th house in the conjunction with Chiron, and Pluto is nearby. my level of outer defensive/aggressive/sexual energy is usually quite low (natal Virgo Mars in the 12th house) but my Mars with these features is most active and bright exactly when I reach my limit and can't handle things anymore. it's like hidden reserves that appear out of nowhere and say: "actually, you CAN. I'll give you another chance, but instead of complaining, go and DO it, okay?"

Virgo Mars in the 4th house squared by Pluto 🤝 Scorpio Mercury in my Mercury persona chart... guess, who always has verbal fightings with relatives in the family chat?

my natal chart ruler is Libra Mercury in the 2nd house (also being the ruler of the Gemini on the 10th house, MC conjunction Jupiter) and it's supposed to be the main source of my financial basis and income. during my whole life I literally feel that I'm destined to earn money with writing/speaking/advocating for something - you know, all Mercury-related activities. however, my Mercury persona chart along with MC persona chart are like: "haha, we've prepared the 12th house Jupiter, empty 2nd house and Neptune in the 8th house. how is it - knowing where you should go, but not knowing how?" I have a hint, however. nearly EVERY persona chart I have, has active 9th house (especially in Jupiter persona chart - Gemini Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter in the 9th house). I guess, I should search realization somewhere outside my country, but I'm still thinking how I should achieve it.

the 1st house Aries Venus trine Pluto in my Saturn persona chart. yes, I really feel that aging makes me better in terms of appearance. and, as I suppose, more confident (I blame Aries...). my Ascendant is in Pisces - people usually tell me that now I look younger than 4 years ago, for example. I guess it's due to more relaxed vibe and less amount of makeup, lmao.

Moon persona chart... I have an opposition between the 1st house Taurus Sun and the 7th house Scorpio Moon. I should admit that the contrast between the inner & outer expression of my emotions is drastic. not my best quality, but I can easily play cool in front of someone who offended me. I can easily say: "I don't care, forget it, we're fine." but due to the 1st house Sun my ego is A LITTLE BIT fragile and I remember every. single. word. that has been said. I take my time and think how can use it later. like "I'm not vindictive, I just have a good memory".

Thank you for reading!

Cinematography Class - Exercise 2 - Interior Mood Change

A Trip in a Trunk to Rio

After class last week I spoke with Eva about the project task for this week as we often do and she spoke about smaller spaces and how these are easier to to change and manipulate. This got me thinking and I decided to use a very small space and see what I oculd do with it, namely my grandpa’s old suitcase/trunk that he had when he was my age. As was common back then it has his initials on it, H. B. stands for Hermann Bank. At the moment I use the suitcase as my art box so it houses my paints, inks and mixed media for making art. So I took photos of the suitcase with the contents inside but then deicided to empty the box as I felt this would tell more of a story and look much more interesting. It also highlights how old the suitcase is and how these days its not used for its purpose and its owner is gone just like the contents that were once in it.

I thought about how I might change the mood of the box, starting off with an empty space that looks as I said quite old and moody, almost crumbling into earth. I then thought about the journey that the box has been on and the narrative that it tells now versus what it told in the past. My mother’s parents are German and Brazilian, and for me this is a big part of the trunk’s story. In World War II my grandpa was initially too young to fight in the war, but when he was called up to fight for Germany he and his best friend fled the country as they did not believe in the regime and didn’t want to fight for it. I asked my mother if he would have taken the suitcase with him, but she told me he fled by bike to Austria, so he didn’t have room or time to bring the suitcase with him, he used it for much larger (safer) trips. Sadly he was caught on the boarder to Austria and was forced to fight in the last couple months of WWII. However, this trunk has a much happier story. After the war my Grandpa joined his father’s gemstone company and enterprise for which he travelled all over the world to mine gems and to trade them.

For the concept of this project I imagined that he took this suitcase with him on a special trip to Rio (which is very likely, but not definite.) His father sent him there to get aquianted with one of his friends, and we are unsure if it was a set up, but the daughter of this friend was my grandma, who he met there and fell in love with. He then took her back with him to Germany where they started a family together, and that’s a wee part of where I come from. But I focused on and imagined what my grandpa might have taken with him on the way there, because I know how the journey back went. I packed the suitcase with clothes and books of Brazil as if I was him and then tried to create a dreamy magical world where the box with his clothes and belongings gets taken over by plants as he enters the Amazon rainforest surrounded by cloudlike waves (which are actually my duvets). I imagined him going there falling in love in a dream like world, which is so different to where he is from. The mood change I went for is from melancholic to dreamy and nostalgic.

I feel I took more of a production design approach to the project as the props are great, but the lighting and shots are not as diverse and strong as I hoped. I really struggled with lighting and covered the window above the case with a white sheet, this did help, however, I really struggled to control the lighting in the exact way that I wanted.

I really enjoyed coming up with the concept for this project, although I feel the photos have come out a little rushed. This is because I did not leave enough time on the weekend to do it, however, I really enjoyed doing this exercise and I think it has turned out pretty well.

Here are the photos again for more details:

Article from ASC:

Irish Drama The Banshees of Inisherin Explores a Fractured Friendship

In sound class the other week we looked at or rather listened to a section from this film from the point of view of sound recording and more specifically sound design, my other specialism. We established that a lot of the sound track of this film was music, but however a great deal of effort had gone into the sound recordings as the film was shot on a stormy Irish island called Inishmore - which is a sound person’s biggest nightmare but a cinematographer’s dream. It only felt right to look at something that would conflict with my inner creative brain and look at it from another angle.

To start off I’m going to say the obvious, the shots are BEAUTIFUL. This is not only thanks to cinematographer Ben Davis, but also the landscape. It is a key characteristic of the film and offers a clear but ‘muted’ base colour palette to the film. This is something that director Martin McDonaugh wanted to portray - the landscape’s beauty rather than its drearyness. Davis describes the landscape as meloncholic and almost claustorphobic, I can see the melancholy, but in terms of clausterphobia he might be refering to being trapped on an island, but I personally don’t feel that in his shots, I rather find them freeing.

For the project they used a limited crew of 75 people and gear as the location was so remote and inaccessible with larger vehicles.

The narrative of the film follows old friends falling out and as a dark comedy is meant to reflect the genre of a Western. From what I have seen in sound class and in the trailer I can see this genre coming to life in the wild irish landscape. I feel this is highlighted in many wide landscape shots.

Davis describes many of the shots as ‘threshold work’ which are shots through doors and windows. I feel through these he get the feeling of the conflict and shows how the character’s are literally on the threshold of their friendship.

They wanted a specific view that shows the remoteness and roughness of the landscape, but there were no old houses that looked over bays in the way that they wanted so they purpose built Pádraic’s house and the pub. Due to this they were able to install up to 30 Dedo lights so they could really control the lighting on set.

Davis also commented that for some of the costumes they drew inspiration from Post-Impressionist artists Rembrandt and Van Gogh’s colourful paintings. I really liked that they drew inspiration from artists that lived and created works so long ago, because it shows that you can be inspied by anything and anyone.

What really surprised me was that they used an Ari Alexa Mini with Signature prime lenses and filters, which is a camera that we have access to at university which was a reminder of how good the equipment is that we have access to, that it is really industry standard.

To end with I thought I’d mention how Davis said he wanted to shoot from “landscape to faces”, to show the weather on the characters faces. For me this quote reminds me of Agnes Varda and JR’s Faces Places documentary where they tour in his van and take photos of different people and paint/print them as murals onto walls and different surfaces in different places. In both projects I feel they achieve showing how people’s surroundings affect them and their way of life and vice versa. For me this ties in nicely again to my task of the week where I have tried to show a part of my grandpa’s story through a small space and I like that any space can reflect a person and their story.

Astrology & Fashion; Pisces

The main components in an individual’s chart to signify style is the Ascendant, Sun, Moon, and Venus. The Ascendant being the self, our identity, and appearance. The Sun being our lifestyle. Our general expression. The Moon being ourselves in emotional and vulnerable expressions (important component as we need to feel comfortable in what we wear; we self-identify with certain styles.) Venus being our aesthetic expression and is closely tied to our Sun sign’s expression.

PISCES AESTHETICS

Fantasy, dreams, delicacy, art, flow, surreality, feathers, lace, scales, butterflies, glitter, metallics, gloss, satin, sequins, jewels, tie-dye, gothic, romantic, angelic, pastels, soft colours, harlequin, soft femininity, feminine silhouettes, playing with necklines, hats, shades, wild child, grunge, hippie, boho, relaxed.

HIGH FASHION

 Pisces sees the world a little more beautifully and with a deeper love than the other 11 signs. Pisces is the creator of fantasies and in fashion, we see Pisces bring these fantasies come to life. Especially in the high fashion world, Pisces designers grasp the intangible and make it reality through their designs. To a Pisces, their designs are a captured essence, to others, a piece of art.

 There is a deep love for Venusian qualities on Pisces part, so often we see Pisces pay tribute to that their designs that express a soft femininity. 

 The high fashion designers I’ve decided to focus on for Piscean expressions in fashion are the late Hubert de Givenchy and Alexander McQueen.

 Givenchy made its debut in 1952. In the brand’s earlier years, it has been accredited for being innovative for its time. Many of Givenchy’s designs and silhouettes are adored and revisited today by other designers; such as the little black dress. Givenchy had a huge influence on the fashion world, Vogue even quotes from The New York Times that he was “undisputedly the world’s most prophetic designers.” It is not that surprising to see a Pisces be described as prophetic.

(Above - Hubert de Givenchy, early 70s; Pisces Sun, Venus, & stellium (with Jupiter, Mercury, & Uranus), Gemini Ascendant)

 What we can see from Givenchy’s designs is an emphasis on feminine beauty; silhouettes that compliment the body, playing with necklines, satins and laces, floral or bejeweled detail, statement jewellery, eye catching colour palettes.  

(Above - Givenchy designs from 1952-1954)

(Above - Givenchy runway shows 1989-1992)

 We can see no lack of the striking Scorpio within him and his designs (I mean seriously, the excess use of red is in almost all of his shows), but it is actually quite complementary to the Piscean side of his expression. The late Martian ruled designer indeed left traces of Piscean dreams in his designs and concepts.

 A big theme in all of McQueen’s designs is fantasy and bringing it to life. There is a level of exquisite surrealness in his 2001 and 2006 shows, for example, where he brought an eerie circus to life and the seemingly organic use of feathers, butterflies, and antlers in the models’ hair.

 Another aspect to Piscean fashion McQueen strongly demonstrates is gothic concepts. Though Pisces has a love for softness and colour, there is another side to Pisces’ expression that is fantastically dark and poetic. In this aspect, we can see McQueen’s Scorpio side blend in quite well.

(Above - Alexander McQueen; Pisces Sun, Pisces Moon, Aries Venus, Sagittarius Mars, Scorpio Ascendant)

(Above - Alexander McQueen 2006)

(Above - Alexander McQueen Fall 2009)

(Above - Alexander McQueen Spring 2009)

In McQueen’s spring 2005 show, we can see how Pisces take delight in soft colour palettes, especially to match the blooming of the season. 

(Above - Alexander McQueen Spring 2005)

From billowing spring garments, to satiny metallics, to lacy dark fantasies, we can see a wide variety of Pisces’ expression in fashion.

STREET FASHION

 As we move into casual fashion expressions, many of the over-the-top surreal aesthetics are put aside for a day-to-day Pisces. In fact, Pisces fashion in a casual sense often gives off a “I don’t care” or “I woke up like this” attitude, in a cool way. Effortless flawlessness is often what we can gather from Pisces fashion.

 Pisces are often the wild childs, artsy folk, weirdos, and the hippies, especially when they’re young; and this is definitely not in the same way we see Aquarius’ be “different”. Pisces go with the flow, they’re very natural in their expression, and they’re often more well received than an Aquarius.

 Their style is often very relaxed, though we can see variations with specific aesthetics such as gothic, grunge, boho, or indie. Their style is often reflections of their inspirations, such as culture, literature, religion, art, or music.

(Above - Kesha; Pisces Sun, Moon, Jupiter, & Mercury, Capricorn Venus, Sagittarius Rising)

 Kesha’s style is very much inspired by her roots and known for its wild child aesthetic. Pastels also seem to make their way in her wardrobe which is very Piscean.

(Above - Erykah Badu; Pisces Sun, Pisces Moon, Capricorn Venus, Sagittarius Rising (Jupiter Conjunct Asc))

 Erykah Badu has always had a very influential and “out-there” style, there is a very potent Pisces energy to her looks.

(Above left to right - Drew Barrymore; Pisces Sun, Venus, & Jupiter, Cancer Moon. Justin Bieber; Pisces Sun & Venus, Libra Moon, Scorpio Rising. Cindy Crawford; Pisces Sun, Pisces Moon, Capricorn Venus, Cancer Rising)

 Drew Barrymore definitely expressed this “wild child” side more in her youth. As she matured, her style became more relaxed and casual. Pisces definitely aren’t always wild, as you will likely come across many that fit that more relaxed and casual look that Justin Bieber and Cindy Crawford have (Bieber leaning more towards very relaxed).

ASC Sneak Peek Chapter 249

One year ago today, he had kissed Ginny in front of the whole school.  One year ago today, she had agreed to be his girlfriend.  

He had never been so thankful for anything in his life.

Harry had told Zee what he wanted to get her and with a few suggestions from her, he had designed it for her.  Zee had taken his gold and gone to buy it for him in Diagon Alley, sneaking it to him at the house yesterday.  He dressed quickly and hurried down to the common room to wait for her.  Hedwig should have delivered the flowers he’d ordered to her bedroom that morning, so he waited a bit impatiently for her to come downstairs.

His eyes widened at Ron and Hermione when he saw them kiss at the base of the stairs.  “Well, well, well.”

Hermione’s cheeks flushed as she took Ron’s hand.  “Yes, we’re together.”

“Since the party,” Ron told him.

“I’m happy for you,” Harry said.  “Why did you wait to say anything?”

“That was me,” Hermione said.  “I knew you were going to Sirius’ grave yesterday so I told Ron to just wait a few days.  We were going to tell you at breakfast today.”

Ron wrapped his arm around her waist, bending down so that his chin rested on the top of her head.  “Guess we ruined the surprise.”

Harry snorted.  “Yes, I suppose you did.  Does anyone else know?”

They shook their heads.

Harry grinned.  “When Seamus finds out there might be confetti.”

Ron groaned.  “Merlin, no!”

Harry glanced at his watch and Hermione smiled.  “She got the flowers.  She was mooning over them.  I’m sure she’ll be down soon.”

Ron looked between them in confusion.  “Flowers?”

“Yes, Ron.  Flowers.  Today is Harry and Ginny’s first anniversary.”

“Already?”  Ron said.

Hermione rolled her eyes.  “Yes, and Harry is being a gentleman and sending her flowers because it’s romantic.”

“You don’t need flowers to be romantic,” Ron grumbled.

Whatever Hermione’s response was Harry didn’t hear it as they disappeared out of the portrait hole.  He shook his head in amusement.  It was good to know that some things weren’t going to change.

Harry waited another five minutes before Ginny came down the stairs; her eyes lit up when she saw him before throwing her arms around him.

“You sent me flowers,” she said, her voice almost accusing.

“I did,” he said, kissing her lips.  “Carnations.”

“That’s the one year anniversary flower.”

“I know,” he said, his eyes twinkling.  “Neville told me.  Happy anniversary, Ginny.”

Ginny stood on her toes and kissed him deeply, arms linked around his neck.  “Happy anniversary, Harry.  I can’t believe that you remembered.”

He kissed her again.  “It’s you, of course I wouldn’t forget.”

“I spent five full minutes mooning over those flowers!  Dark red and beautiful and they smell so sweet.  You’re wonderful.  Thank you.”  She kissed his cheek.  “I’ll have to find a way to show you how much I appreciate them.”

Harry swallowed when she took his hand off her back and slowly slid it up her thigh so that he could feel the garter clips.  “Merlin, you expect me to sit through class all morning knowing that you’re wearing those?”

Ginny only grinned mischievously.

Harry reached into the pocket of his robes and pulled out the box, passing it to her.  “This is for you.”

“Harry,” Ginny said.  “The flowers were beautiful, you didn’t have to get me a gift.”

“I wanted to.  Zee snuck it to me yesterday as she went and picked it up for me.”

Ginny carefully untied the ribbon, lifting the lid.  Nestled on black velvet was a thin gold bangle bracelet with a tiny flat Quaffle dangling from it.  Imprinted on the Quaffle were the letters H&G in cursive and on the other side it said: 4/11/95.

“Harry… it’s beautiful.”

“The Quaffle because you play Chaser, but also because on this day, I kissed you on the Quidditch pitch,” he said softly.

“It’s perfect,” she told him, slipping it over her wrist.  “I love it.  Thank you.”

Harry pulled her close to kiss her again.  “I love you.”

“I love you, too.”  She carefully slipped the bracelet on her wrist, smiling at it a moment before she moved out of his arms to open the bag she’d tossed to the ground.  “I have something for you too.”

Harry took the package from her curiously.  It was wrapped in red tissue and when he opened it, it was a handmade card with a photo of the two of them on the front.  They were standing in front of the stables on the ranch, arms around each other and big grins on their faces.  When he opened it, he smiled at her neat writing.

Happy Anniversary, Harry!

Your eyes are as green as a fresh picked toad

Your hair as dark as a black board…

I gave this to you once before,

A young girl who simply adored,

You blushed and stammered like a bumbling fool

And five years later you kissed me in front of the whole bloody school!

I love you.  

Love,

Ginny

Harry smiled at her.  “It’s perfect.  And I was a bumbling fool.”

Ginny smiled as he pulled her close.  “I didn’t know what to give you.  A first anniversary is important, and I didn’t know what you could possibly need.”

Harry nuzzled his face in her neck.  “I need nothing.  This photo and this poem is perfect.  All I need is you.”

Ginny kissed him.  “I have to meet Colin.  Meet me in the tower before dinner.”

🔥This set of Tales of a City VIII (Selected and edited during the confinement) has just been published by ASC Fashion Magazine @ascfashionmagazine (New York, USA) 🔥 Thanks to the publication for sharing my works. 🔥 About the series: Since 2005 I have been working in this photo-narrative street photography project, in the UK, mostly in London. Being connected emotionally and also professionally with the English culture, I have tried to show this personal bond in a pop manner, because that is my main artistic influence. London offers me infinite and vibrant possibilities to my photography because of its arty, young and neverending energy, and all my fetishes such as shop windows, my plastic people, street portraits, food, abandoned objects and curious finds are always there waiting for my cam. Then I just need to re-visit the urban spots, the busy streets and the markets, and to push the form with reflections, repetitions and saturated colors. This group is the most minimalist I’m able to be, possibly influenced by Instagram tendencies, however I still can feel my puzzle pieces there. With each series, there has been a clearer intention in Tales of a City, as a Philologist I have forced myself to communicate in a direct way and to send simple messages in my images. This group of photographs were taken during the last Christmas holiday and they show the innocent and easy pre-covid world. During the hard confinement conditions in Tenerife, Spain, I have been selecting and editing old materias from my past trips, in order to look for some beauty as a relief. While the whole world was taking the picture of the situation, I needed to escape from reality, and these beautiful memories became my refuge. ⭐️ Stay tuned to see my future projects: TranSItion and Guys with a mask! 🔥🔥 And in September @j.miguelgranadosdesign & me are doing an exhibition together in Tenerife, check his incredible art pieces! I’m sure you will love what he does with the wood! We r already working with nice and creative people on the project. ❤️❤️ Thanks to all the amazing people involved in my projects, it means the world to me. ⭐️🙌🏻 (en London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCBcNi3IYOn/?igshid=11pq37lfgqgmw

Help a broke witch out!🌟🔮🌟

Hi lovelies! I am not one to usually do this, but I hope you take the time to just read this. As most of you know I have been providing free readings and would love to continue to do so.

My journey in life has taken me to potentially be able to be a psychic reader professionally! However, to practice in a professional setting, the state requires that I get licensure before being able to practice in store. The fees for licensing range from $800-$1200.

As a recent college graduate, I do not have this kind of money lying around. If you or someone you know is able to provide some help my way (even $1 and reblogging will go a long way) I will in turn provide readings. Please check out this POST or continue reading for more information on my paid readings.

Please note: I will keep my free readings open, but any tips are greatly and truly appreciated!

🤷🏻‍♀️🐈💜 [PART 1 of 3] #CuspRisingSignsExistSeries ▫️ So, I decided to post a series of three photos to prove a point that Cusp Ascendant signs exist. I know people will argue me on that—because I know there are some people who don’t even believe in Sun sign #cuspers, let alone that you can be a #cusper on an angle. Frankly, I don’t understand how anyone can NOT believe cusps are a thing when a sign’s characteristics vary by degree—to me it makes perfect sense that the exact placement of an angle/planet would represent where you stand on a spectrum. IT’S A SPECTRUM!! ▫️ EXIBIT A: THAT’S A COMPILATION OF PHOTOS OF ME~ ▪️EXCUUUUUUZ YOU?? Those fat lips got me bullied like hell in grade school, the pain was like plutonian shit. There *must* be something to it. I’ve always been known to be into food, although I just started cooking school in March before The Plague got in the way (and had some ED-NOS growing up until a school trip to the @WFP in Geneva ‘cured’ me like rehab) ◾️I like McDonald’s ▪️I’m a lazy-ass procrastinator ◼️And besides, if I *truly* were a Gemini rising, wouldn't I want two personas? Hm? OF COURSE I WOULD! ◾️I’m a messy one. ▫️ In PART 2, I'll show you a clearer look at me face. Actually, I'll give you two clear photos of my face (taken ~10 days apart from each other). ▫️ In PART 3, I'll show you how I went through "phases" in which I'd spend a whole year being all venusian in nature and shit & then something happened (not sure what exactly, probably a transit on my ASC sometime around spring of 2019) and then all of the sudden I'm all grungey and Gemini. I jest not you guys: FER REALZ, FER REALS. ▫️ NB: I’ve turned commenting off because I feel vulnerable posting so many pictures of my mug like this—it is NOT because I can't handle people disagreeing with me about this (oh believe you me I know tons of people do) or I can't handle criticism, but I feel very strongly about this as I've photographic evidence. (Don’t shoot the messenger! I can’t help the way I look.) ◻ #TaurusAscendant #TaurusRising #GeminiAscendant #GeminiRising #CuspAscendant #CuspRising #RisingSigns #Gemini #Taurus https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kO5jhnREP/?igshid=19izjl23yq301

EBF w Colonel Melvin Hall in Italy

Melvin Hall was A-2 (Intelligence) officer for the Ninth Air Force, relieving Kenneth Littauer from the VIII ASC. His status was such that his arrival in Sunninghill Park warranted a mention in Ninth Air Force commander Lewis Brereton’s journal (The Brereton Diaries, p. 221).

Hall was an impressive character. Shortly after graduating from college, Hall successfully completed on a 45,000 mile automobile trip around the world (with his mother!). At the start of World War I, Hall volunteered with the British Expeditionary Forces. By war’s end, he had fought with the English, French and Belgian armies and been decorated by all three.

Hall transferred to the United States Army in 1917 and aided his friend and mentor Colonel Billy Mitchell in founding the US Air Corps. He served as wing commander for nearly 30 US & French air and balloon squadrons and pioneered aerial photography for military purposes.

Between the wars, Hall took on the task of serving on the American financial mission to Persia. The Persian government invited the Americans to help it move the country to a modern economic footing while blunting colonialist gambits by Russia and Great Britain. 

This photo was taken in early 1944, probably in the hills south of Cassino

Photo art can be displayed in a number of different ways. We like wall art, because the image is big enough to appreciate the true essence of the image, and will add artistic character to any room. This beautiful window display was taken at an old barn in North Carolina, perfect lighting on this cloudy day allowed me to capture this captivating image. Perfect to display throughout your home or office. Or home decor items to brighten your home or office.
