Welcome to the Shadow of the Eclipse

October 4-31, 2023

Some introductory notes

The “shadow of the eclipse” is a time period lasting from 10 days before the first eclipse, to three days after the final eclipse. It is recommended not to start anything new, or schedule anything important, during these days - as usual I refer everyone to the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to the Prince of Wales, as an example.

Of course we live in a place/time which scoffs at letting astrology help with the timing of events - therefore don’t lose hope if something falls unavoidably within the eclipse shadow. Just be prepared.

I wanted to take a more thorough approach to delineation, this time. I hope it’s helpful.

South Node Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the New Moon lies close (in the Zodiac) to either the North Lunar Node, or to the South one. It occurred to me to do a little research on whether which Node is involved, makes any difference - and yes, it does.

Astrologers call the South Node “the dragon’s tail” - Steven Forrest calls the South Node, “the dragon’s butt” - because here we are “pooping out” what we don’t need and can’t use. (One person’s poop, however, is another person’s fertilizer.)

Eclipses conjunct the South Lunar Node, like the October 14 one, have an outflowing (outpooping?) of energy. They tend to feature external events which we have to “rise up to.”

If you’d like to note how these have affected you in the past (always a good idea to check “what happened last time”), here is a list of the previous South Node solar eclipses in this century:

December 14, 2001, 22°56’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2002, 11°58’ Sagittarius

November 23, 2003, 1°14’ Sagittarius

October 14, 2004, 21°06’ Libra

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

September 22, 2006, 29°20’ Virgo

September 11, 2007, 18°25’ Virgo

August 1, 2008, 9°32’ Leo

July 22, 2009, 29°27’ Cancer

July 11, 2010, 19°24’ Cancer

June 1, 2011, 11°02’ Gemini

July 1, 2011, 9°12’ Cancer

May 20, 2012, 0°21’ Gemini

May 10, 2013, 19°31’ Taurus

April 29, 2014, 8°52’ Taurus

March 20, 2015, 29°27’ Pisces

March 9, 2016, 18°56’ Pisces

February 26, 2017, 8°12’ Pisces

February 15, 2018, 27°08’ Aquarius

January 6, 2019, 15°25’ Capricorn

December 26, 2019, 4°07’ Capricorn

December 14, 2020, 23°08’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2021, 12°22’ Sagittarius

October 25, 2022, 2°00’ Scorpio

October 14, 2023, 21°08’ Libra

Going down that list was a very uncomfortable trip down memory lane for me. When those South Node eclipses affected me, it was generally a harbinger of some difficult “external event” which I had little to no control over - which is not the same thing as saying “it wasn’t my fault.” I brought some of it on myself due to bad decisions. Some karma chickens coming home to roost, in other words. Not all of them were dire, though. One in particular gave me something of a respite from what had been happening in my life - it was conjunct my natal 12th House cusp.

Saros Series “7 South”

This eclipse is part of Saros Series “7 South.” Bernadette Brady writes,

The individual experiencing this series will find that huge obstacles will suddenly and easily clear or, on the negative side, a pending potential crisis will suddenly manifest and move through his or her life very rapidly. Either way the individual will feel that everything is moving at great speed. (The Eagle and the Lark)

Previous Saros “7 South” eclipses in Ms M’s lifetime:

September 11, 1969, 18°53’ Virgo

September 23, 1987, 29°34’ Virgo

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

Not quite as depressing for me personally.

Whatever Shall We Do?

1) Determine which of your natal houses this eclipse falls in.

2) Determine whether the eclipse makes an aspect to anything in your chart. Use a 1° orb. In my case, the conjunctions, squares, sesquiquads (135°), inconjuncts, and oppositions made the most obvious impacts.

3) If there is a close aspect to a planet, check to see which house(s) that planet rules. One South Node eclipse was conjunct the ruler of my natal 4th House, and I moved three months later.

4) Avoid strenuously negative thoughts. If you put a lot of energy into anticipating that something is going to be horrible and painful and disastrous, well, guess what - that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If you catch yourself falling into a panic, try to refocus the energy into “the best possible outcome.”

Outer Dwarf Planets - Taurus New Moon

This month we have a very very very very Taurus Taurus New Moon. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, the North Node and Jupiter are all in Taurus but rather than speaking about that I wanted to cover the outer planets we ignore. I’m covering:

Eris is the same size as Pluto and honestly it’s a very potent planet whose energies always seem to show up. 

Sedna, Orcus, Makemake, Haumea, Quaoar, Gonggong and Salacia are more subtle in my view, and honestly I use them mostly when they have a close alignment to other planets or to significant natal positions.

Eris has no part in this whole deal - look at your own chart to see if its different for you! Eris is slow so when it has aspects, especially with outer planet bodies or natal positions on your chart they last years and are worth knowing about. Eris energy is fast, agressive, assertive, dangerous, and not really the vobe for Taurus season. With no aspects you may find that energy difficult to access so stay true to your beliefs and don’t let people push you around!

Sedna is trined to Pluto, sextile Mars and conjunct the Sun and Moon. So a lot of energy here! Sedna is usually seen as a planet of trauma, victimhood, and evolution. Conjunct the North Node makes this a powerful time to heal, especially with that transformative Pluto energy coming in. Heck, especially because Pluto is retrograde so old pains may be a little tender and come to the surface for a while.

Sedna is slow it’s making its way out of Taurus. It has one more New Moon to go before its first new moon in Gemini, but then it will immediately retrograde and we’ll be retracing old ground in Taurus for much of the next year. It was in 29 degrees of Taurus July to October 2021, May to December 2022, and will return December 2023 to April 2024. So you may want to play close attention to hurt from this time and understand that this hurt is part of a cycle - Sedna will return to these points again and you can continue to work on releasing pain and healing in future new moons.

Orcus entered Virgo in 2009 and will stay there till 2038. I’ve often seen it described as a little, darker, Pluto. It’s associated with obsession and death. It’s in a close sextile with Venus that for some reason astro.com didn’t pick up on. Venus. Orcus seems well placed to pick up on problems at home or in places you feel emotionally safe. It’s a little voice warning you about red flags and heck, it might not be necessary to act on it right away, but I think it’s always a good idea to *note* this kind of thing

Makemake; Salacia; Quaoar 

Makemake Is in opposition to Salacia and has been active on and off since 2004. The t-square with Quaoar first emerged in 2014. Makemake is often associated with nature, degrowth and loss of resources and Salacia with both the sexual and the hidden. 

The Makemake-Salacia opposition began to be really felt in 2005 under mutable signs as George W Bush began to seriously prepare for a global pandemic and the ideas that formed the response to COVID were coalescing. The Iceland Volcanic eruption of 2010 and the Zombie movie craze seem to have fed into the message of a society preparing to stop. 

Quaoar usually comes into play with revelations and squaring this opposition at new moon might be a chance for us to consider what we lost track of in the pandemics and lock downs that we may want back, and what, we want to get rid of. It may also be a chance to think about the kind of society we want and can afford to have, and consider what we can get rid of to help save the Earth or survive in the difficult post-pandemic economy. These can be difficult questions. Believe in the power of “no”.

Gonggong the planet of outside context problems, hidden knowledge and turning things to a new angle, is conjunct Saturn in Pisces, sextile to Mercury and the North Node in Taurus. This to me seems like a good thing if you want to stay grounded while raising difficult issues. But it has a disadvantage that there’s quite a lot here to slow up progress.

Energy Update: April 2023

April is a "2" Universal Month [4 (April) + 7 (2023) = 11 = 1+1 = 2] in a "7" Universal Year. Two is the number of coming together which is cosmically at odds with the energy of Aries (sign #1 which rules most of the month) and the 7 energy of the year itself which is all about finding your own answers. There may be a push and pull effect throughout the month as we struggle to exert our independence but are also pulled back together, sometimes preternaturally against our wills.

The Set Up

We begin the month of April with the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, and Chiron in Aries; Venus, Uranus, and our North Node in Taurus, Mars in Cancer, Satun and Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Aquarius. By month's end the Sun and Mercury will have moved into Taurus and Venus will have continued her journey onward into Gemini. We will be experiencing the effects of the beginning of retrograde season as Mercury retrogrades mid-month and Pluto retrogrades on the first of May. Additionally, we will be entering eclipse season with our solar black moon eclipse in Aries on 4/20.

All eyes will be on Mercury and Pluto which will both retrograde within the window between our solar eclipse in Aries and our lunar eclipse in Scorpio. This is not by accident, these planets have been in constant contact with one another since the beginning of 2021 when both Mercury and Venus went in retrograde in a butterfly pattern around Pluto (then sitting in Capricorn). We've come a long way, but something may be holding us back. We're in the death throw stages of what was and all of April will (in some way) be a reflection of that.

The Nitty Gritty

Though Pluto does not formally retrograde until the 1st of May, the energy of the upcoming retrograde will be in effect all month and carry us through the rest of the year as well. This is because Pluto has just barely arrived in the sign of Aquarius (entered on 3/23) and this is the first time that Pluto has been IN the sign of Aquarius in 248 years! This is a big deal - nobody in living memory has lived through a Pluto in Aquarius phase - it is the deep unknown. That said, Pluto will retrograde back into the sign of Capricorn over its upcoming underworld phase, so we aren't quite out of the Capricornian woods (yet). Though our upcoming Mercury retrograde cycle will be felt very immediately in our personal lives, Pluto in Aquarius is going to set the tone of our lives for the next 20 years.

Mercury has often been called the Messenger of the Gods and I have found that the planet plays a similar role in our lives of contextualizing the intense energy of those outer planets that are, quite literally, out of this world. That our first aspect of April is our sweet Messenger meeting up in square with Pluto is not a coincidence. What is happening on the Plutonian front is so far beyond us - what this new Pluto adventure in Aquarius will bring us is completely beyond comprehension. Mercury cannot help us here. All we can do is dare to dream or play the waiting game.

There is an air of "fate" to all of this as we have entered eclipse season early with our new moon in Aries on 3/21 that set the stages at 00° Aries for our solar eclipse one month later on 4/20 at 29° Aries. This is the ill-advised Black Moon, a moderately uncomfortable occurrence in which two new moons occur in a row in the same sign. That a black moon is also eclipsed is a thing to which magicians cheer and the layperson cringes away in fear is not without reason; it is not for the faint of heart. Many of our planets make aspects to our north node as we pass through the month, showing that the doors of fate have swung wide open, or, conversely, banged suddenly shut. Eyes wide open. Look where you are going. Bring a towel. Insert whatever superstition will make you feel better here. Most of the time you get what you put into life but during eclipse season, you might just get what you deserve. That makes some people quake in their boots and some quiver with antici...

Which one are you? That may tell you a lot if you are willing to look.

Mars pings the north node through a sweet sextile on 4/4, Mercury conjuncts it under the light of our Libra full moon on 4/5, Saturn trines it on 4/19, and the Sun conjuncts it on 4/24. And that's not even accounting for our black moon eclipse on 4/20. Any and all of these days will be a total wild card - take that as is befitting you and how you feel about chance.

The full moon on 4/6 may hurt like a primal wound as the Sun will be tightly conjunct to Chiron, our wounded healer. With the moon in Libra in play, one might assume that it will be a domestic thing or perhaps a lack of a domestic thing. Pains around loneliness, togetherness, family, coupledom, freedom, and people-pleasing may all run quite close to the surface. Mercury conjunct the North Node may make it hard to watch your tongue so beware of the truths you are not ready to tell. Or embrace them, nothing that involves the lunar nodes happens by accident. Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow at 05° Taurus on 4/8 in exact sextile with Mars in Cancer. This is the only repeating aspect that Mercury will make through this retrograde journey and it shows the colors of what we may experience. Here we can see that Mars is there to lend a helping hand, perhaps giving energy or physical support to the Traveller's widdershins journey. If you do Mercury magic in advance of their retrograde cycles, I would suggest considering adding elements of Mars in your workings for this cycle. This aspect will repeat a second time when Mercury is retrograded on 4/23 and a third time in May once Mercury is in their post-retrograde stage.

4/11 is a good day to have a good day as the Sun making its annual conjunction with Jupiter and Venus enters the mutable air sign of Gemini. Venus in Gemini is quixotic and change-seeking - this is a great day to celebrate your successes by doing or trying something new. Go to the new restaurant that you've been eyeing or take in the newest exhibit at your favorite museum. The more novel your experience, the more you will get out of the day. Send me a postcard all about it and thank me later.

Venus in Gemini is not without quarrels though that should come with the territory (Gemini loves a good fight...I mean a good "discussion" in which they are shown to be the most knowledgeable and clever think of them all). Venus squares off with Saturn in Pisces on 4/14 which brings some tensions to the table. Both Gemini and Pisces can be pretty loose with the truth so it could be a good fun row but with Saturn involved, it probably still carries an important lesson. This is not a day to take lightly.

Saturn makes a sextile to the North node and trine to the South Node on 4/19, bringing that Chance energy back to into the zeitgeist just in time for our Eclipsed black moon at 29° Aries on 4/20. Pluto, sitting just barely into Aquarius, comes in for the play with a hard square on this, too. Some eclipses are birth phases and some are death phases - we can infer from the Plutonian influence that this will be the latter for most people. Mercury retrogrades the very next day so this will be some intense liminal space. Again, maybe wear some iron on that day, or carry a very big stick.

Somebody will wander into something that they are not supposed to. (I don't know what made me write that)

I don't expect this Mercury retrograde cycle to be particularly difficult so long as you have learned how to manage the inevitabilities of a Mercury retrograde. With Mars adding some gas, we just need to make sure that we aren't setting TOO big a fire. We've had several Mercury retrograde cycles in the earth signs (a year and a half of them) and I don't want to call them old hat now but they may start to feel like a very comfortable pair of old shoes. Check that the soles haven't rotted out though - earth can feel very stable until it's not. I'll write more about this retrograde specifically in another post.

The last week in April may feel a little hard. We'll be in the middle of our two eclipses, both Venus and Mars are making aspects with Chiron which spell domestic troubles, and Mercury is off a wandering. Additionally, Mars makes an aspect to Uranus which is always an indication that you should count all your fingers and your toes - pretty much before you do anything. Whether you're just closing the door to your car or playing with explosives, the chances are higher than average of sustaining an injury. Especially if Mercury retrogrades make you sloppy (I'm looking at you, Virgos).

May is going to happen fast and will bring with it our Pluto retrograde, a Mars ingress into the fixed fire sign of Leo, and our eclipse full moon in Scorpio. This energy is going to slow down anytime soon.

Stray has won me over completely with its gorgeous setting and cyberpunk aesthetic. It was such a delight to play!

This drawing took a lot out of me and it's easily one of the most detailed illustrations I have ever done. I'm really happy with how it turned out in the end!

Thank you Guerilla team, for having Aloy drink with Erend in game. I sketched this years ago, when I finished Zero Dawn, and I think it's fitting that I finish it now that it's canon.

I realized I never posted this illustration on Tumblr. This one is from 2020, made maybe a year after I have played Horizon Zero Dawn for the first time.

I think the world needs more art of slavic girls and their dragons. I think that'd be pretty cool.

Cute ZR cycle!

I've been tracking the ZR dates of my solar return chart as well as my natal chart and for some reason this year the solar return dates are hitting more obviously lol

I'm a Sagittarius rising with an Aquarius moon this year for my solar return and this ZR cycle was in Aquarius so happening in my 3H

April 3 - Start - This day I wrote a journal entry about how there is so much shame intertwined with health for me bc my fam would shame you for being healthy or unhealthy! Fitting that it's in the 3H and I was working through this by writing. I also saw two angel numbers that day and one was 2368 "it is up to you to make your life better" and 3285 "fall in love with becoming better" so I just started making a plan for what I wanted for various health things and how I would get it and I started working on it!

April 26 - LB - This is the day I hit two weeks of doing my face skin care daily! I started tracking it in my notes app with a check mark every day! Again fitting bc 3H and I'm building a habit and it's a build up from the start date bc I sent friends pics of my skin "before" and told them I was doing this and I didn't feel any shame about it. It was exciting to just have it be a factual thing that I was doing and nothing more! And two of my friends were like I have the same problem I'm going to do it too! Now we're all doing it together it's so cute!

May 17 - Completion - I hit 5 weeks of daily use this day! I also added a new product to my skin care this day! But the major event I think is that I got free moisturizer! There's this brand I used to use and love in 2021 and 2022 and when Saturn went into Pisces in March 2023 I went to go buy some more and it was DISCONTINUED! I was devastated and assumed it was just 1H saturn return woes lol randomly decided to look them up again and saw the company wasn't closed and they still had the moisturizer but I couldn't figure out where to get it so I DMed them and they told me it's only sold in canada at the moment but they would send me one for free!! I was so excited!

I feel like this was my reward for building the habit and keeping up with it! I think the main lesson here was that the shame I was feeling wasn't mine to feel tbh bc why am I caring about what these people think and have to say when I know they talk with no basis for things all the time lmao

What Zodiac Sign Is April 11? #quiz #zodiacsigns

[themagikmirror]

In 2022, I created monthly content called "Care Plans" where I would sit down at my laptop every month and channel messages from Spirit based on astrological transits happening. These are messages channeled for the first 6 months of 2022. Use this information to reference lessons from 2022, & time stamp manifestations in your life currently....

JANUARY 2022 :

We even have our 1st #NewMoon tomorrow in #Sidereal #Sagittarius ♐️😉 I hope you use this opportunity to exercise your own faith and spiritual independence to see what the message is for you! What a great way to bring in the collective new year — with fire! 🔥 January also brings the first #MercuryRetrograde of 2022 beginning in 2 weeks and the end of the current #VenusRX at the end of the month!  🚀Keep in Mind Saturn will be in Capricorn and Jupiter will be in Aquarius until April 2022  Although Mars is in Scorpio until the end of the month, In general the month’s energy is dominated by Sagittarius & Capricorn energy.

FEBRUARY 2022 :

New Month, Similar Vibes ✨ See how you can take this opportunity to capitalize on things presented & over flowing from January 2022. 

MARCH 2022 :

March begins with EVERY PLANET in Sidereal Capricorn except the Moon,Sun & Jupiter. This means for a few weeks there will continue to be a Capricorn stellium (this has been the case for months now). However, today there’s an Aquarius stellium simultaneously (☀️ , 🌙 & Jupiter) ushering us into the New Moon in Aquarius tomorrow morning 🌚 3/2/22. Next week Mercury will join in Sidereal Aquarius recreating & continuing the Aquarius Stellium. Pisces transits will begin with the Sun 3/14/22. I’ve been talking some about Capricorn, but I’ve been more focused on Aquarius. This is because since December all Sidereal platforms, including this one have been talking about April 2022 —- THE SHIFT 🌪💨 of Saturn to Aquarius. March is the prelude to things that will become our new collective and individual priorities for a large part of 2022 & years to come. Once again we’re retrograde-free this month, but 🪐 Saturn did enter its shadow over the past weekend, beginning preparations for its June 2022 Retrograde.

APRIL 2022 :

The word this month I heard while posting this is :

“ACTIVATE YOUR NEW REALITY” 🐠✨Happy Pisces New Moon 🌑👁 I had to be a lil comical in this Care Plan because that’s just how the messages came through 💀. Sorry if you have to squint or zoom in to see, spirit had a lot to say. These are the principle energies of April 2022 and the messages coming from them. Some messages may be lingering from the Winter Season, which means the assignment didn’t change just because the energy did. Spring is going to go by much faster than Winter 2022! Don’t miss out, plant your seeds! We ALL have an individual part to play to advance the whole. I didn’t speak on the remaining #Capricorn energy because its fading away quickly! Mars & Saturn are the last planets lingering in Capricorn. Soon those two will be changing to Aquarius! But remember all the things Capricorn has shown you and handle yourself and your situations with #MATURITY

MAY 2022 :

I am left speechless by April. Entering May, Spirit had little to offer me as a channeled message for the energies of this month. Remember just because the energy changed, doesn’t mean the assignments did 🤷🏻‍♀️. That’s not how this stuff works. However, just as April was the completion of our collective & individual “shifts”… May is pushing us to embrace the change welcomed or not. We have a Mercury RX in Sidereal Taurus that snuck up on us real fast and quiet! This RX started April 25th when Mercury entered its shadow & the sign of Sidereal Taurus simultaneously. This entire month, MRX is in Sidereal Taurus and will not be over until the 1st week in June. Amongst that we also have a second eclipse - Sidereal Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse, the last of the TaurusxScorpio Eclipse series from 2021. I didn’t even notice this until I looked at my Sidereal calendar for May… I was actually shocked! BUCKLE THE FUCK UP 😵 SPRING 2022 IS SNATCHING WIGS & HAIRLINES. Keep in mind Saturn has been in its shadow for a few months preparing for its RX in newly entered Sidereal Aquarius. Jupiter also enters its shadow in Sidereal Pisces tomorrow. For the past few months we’ve been shifting around and now we gotta let it all settle. Above are the energies dominating this month & Per usual, opposing forces you can tap into if something is becoming “too much” for you. Notice how as things start to heat up towards Summer, its our job to bring in those cooler energies. 

JUNE 2022 :

Spring 2022 was a powerful season with lots of uncomfortable, but game changing moments 💖 Summer is only going to build on top of that! This first few weeks of June are a crossroads into the next season. Not much has changed in the messaging from transits happening in the following zodiac signs, but here’s some minor changes and reminders as we kick off June! There will ALWAYS be a challenge , its simply about how you handle it!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

confident ~ passionate ~ courageous

In astronomy, Aries zodiacal constellation in the northern sky lying between Pisces and Taurus, at about 3 hours right ascension and 20 degrees north declination.

Aries contains no very bright star; the brightest star, Hamal has a magnitude of 2.0. The first point of Aries, or vernal equinox, is intersection of the celestial equator with the apparent annual pathway of the Sun and the point in the sky which celestial longitude and right ascension are measured. The vernal equinox no longer lies in Aries but has been moved into Pisces by the precession of the equinoxes.

In astrology, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, considered as governing the period from March 21 to April 19. Its representation as a ram identified with the Egyptian god Amon and, in Greek mythology, with the ram with the golden fleece, on the back which Phrixus, the son of king Athamas, safely fled Thessaly to Colchis, where he sacrificed the ram to Zeus, who placed it in the heavens as the constellation, The rams golden fleece was recovered by Jason, leader of the Argonauts.

Fontaine, S. (2021). The Aries Oracle. Greenfinch.

"Aries is a passionate, motivated and confident leader who builds community with their cheerful disposition and relentless determination. Uncomplicated and direct in their approach."

astrological sign and its spiritual links

The Aries birthstone can serve as a talisman of good fortune. The primary Aries birthstone is Diamond which symbolizes inner strength, balance and prosperity, other stones include bloodstone (energy, courage, dynamism) Jasper (stability, perseverance, balance) topaz (protection, physical strength) and amethyst (control, composure, faithfulness)

The Emperor

Aries tarot card is the emperor which is about how to be a proper force in ruling the state or government. One must be prepared to act on instinct, set limitations, act in a defensive manner, and take immediate charge with force.

Aries ruling planet is Mars, ruling house - 1st house of self, element is fire and colour is red. All these link to an Aries typically outgoing, fiery personality and temper.

Mars

These two have been linked since ancient times, as mars is the Roman God of war, and Ares is the Greek God of war. Mars is a planet of great action, aggression, and drive, influencing what we do, and how we do it, and enhancing the active energy of Aries. Mars is considered a pioneer and a penetrator of new territory, just like the Aries ram.

‌1st house

As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries rules the 1st house of self. The first house is a representation of you overall self -- the personality and traits that make you uniquely you. Aries connection to the 1st house of self speaks to this sign pioneering nature, its bravery and independence. Aries desire to create identify and deepen its sense of self is what the 1st house is all about.

ST Modern AU

Some bg on a text chat AU I’ll be posting for soon. 

If you’d like to use this info for your fics, go right ahead! Please just tag me so I can see it/get credit. 

Locations:

For location, I’d sub a Walmart for Melvald’s (Joyce is GM), add in a couple fast food places and a large local strip mall (some local places, some chains, etc) and that’s about it. There is DEF a Hooters somewhere in Hawkins.

The Arcade and Starcourt Mall aren’t that bad for a small town, especially if the parents of that town are used to dropping their kids off until they’re ready to be picked up, like they were in their childhoods. The only difference is the kids can call with their cells rather than payphones.

For the mall especially: kids LOVE bright shiny new toys. Modern kids would CRAWL all over a new mall, even if it’s just for 1-2 months (which it is for Starcourt, lol)

Hawkins Family Library instead of Family Video: an outsource of the Library’s family/kids section in order to increase their capacity and try and reduce the number of perverts (which gets worse). Commonly, parents drop older kids off at the arcade, then take their younger kids to the library (like canon, they’re in the same strip mall)

This also provides Robin and Steve the ability to find Reefer Rick in S4, since the Family Library is hooked to the main library database and can see checkouts from the main branch, and thus, Reefer Rick’s address.

Communication:

The Party communicates with their phones, but on actual missions they use Claudia’s old walkies from the 80s (hc hint hint) since they aren’t wiretapped by the government.

Suzie can also only be accessed by radio: her father forbids her from having any modern technology, so Dustin still has to use Cerebro to talk to her.
