Astrology Observations #6

Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃

🧡 Sun square Saturn people feel like they need to work twice as hard to achieve success that appears to come more naturally for others. Incredibly hard on themselves if they feel like they're not being productive enough or doing enough, yet they work relentlessly towards their goals and overcoming obstacles. It's hard for them to recognize their achievements or to feel proud of themselves.

🧡 Unaspected planets in the birth chart tend to manifest as a very pure representation of that planet. For example, an unaspected moon can be very emotionally expressive and reactive. Emotions run freely here. An unaspected mars needs to be busy all the time, high stress and aggression can be hard to keep under control, and they can be very competitive.

🧡 The house Venus is in is crucial to understanding someone's values and what they need to feel loved and appreciated. For example, I know a 3rd house Venus who talks to me a lot about how much they can't stand miscommunication and liars. They really value open and honest communication. I plan on creating an in-depth Venus post in the future :)

🧡 This might be an unpopular opinion, but I found my Jupiter return to be pretty underwhelming. I experienced a lot of ease in my life and I feel like I was able to get out of difficult situations pretty quickly, but other than that it wasn't quite what I've seen it made out to be. I've had quite a few people in my life have Jupiter returns recently and it was underwhelming for them as well. It's possible my 12th house profection year and 12th house Saturn transit was overshadowing my Jupiter return though.

🧡When Venus transits my 3rd and 9th houses, I notice I have a stronger desire to travel during these periods. I just want to be out and about and exploring new places and new cities. I'm usually a big homebody, but during these transits I don't feel that as much.

🧡When Sun transits my 8th and 12th houses, this is always the most painful time for me every single year. I just feel a heaviness stronger than usual and a lot of my old wounds get brought up again. This can be a really helpful time to clear out negative energy that's been stagnant for so long and start fresh once the transit ends.

🧡Pisces is by far the most sensitive sign, while Cancer is the most emotional. I feel like a lot of people misinterpret the sensitivity of Pisces as just being sad, but overall they just feel and can pick up on all the energy around them and can even have periods of apathy as a way to cope. I've also known many Pisces that struggle with anger issues as an unhealthy expression of their sensitivity.

🧡With the people you're closest to, you might see them as being their moon sign more than their sun sign. This is because you've likely seen the deepest parts of them that other's don't usually get to see.

🧡The intensity of Aries and Scorpio synastry is next level. Their connections are filled with passion and sexual chemistry. Unfortunately, that lust tends to be all that's really there for them. All that mars energy is quick and hot, but the flame doesn't last forever, unless there's more harmonious synastry between them of course.

🧡I've found 9th house Jupiter people to be incredibly smart and wise beyond their years. They can have a very deep understanding of life and the world around them. Excellent teachers and role models.

🧡I think Saturn conjunct Moon is one of the most challenging aspects to have in a natal chart. There can be this lifelong feeling of being depressed or dissatisfied, like they're cold and empty inside. They can feel disconnected to their feelings and feel emotionally starved because of this. Their mother could have been very strict and unloving and played a huge role in these feelings. Constantly feeling like they're not good enough. Just an overall very harsh placement that I feel for a lot.

🧡I've noticed that water signs tend to be very naturally inclined to spirituality. It can just be something they feel drawn to and resonate with easily. They openly embrace ideas about the universe that most people are skeptical about.

🧡Leo mercuries have the most beautiful talking voices. Their emotions shine through their voices so effortlessly. So charismatic as well. They know how to keep conversations lively.

🧡I've known so many Aquarius risings and all of them have this "goofy" persona about them that's hard to even fully describe. They just love to be a little bit silly. They also pride themselves super strongly on being unique from others. It really bothers them to feel like they're in a box or a stereotype of any sorts.

Pile 1

I can't even explain the beauty and depth I felt from the cards in this pile!

You're empathetic, emotionally deep and understanding. You're deeply touched by art. Your loved ones see you as their angel and baby. You're their light. You reverberate warmth and brilliance.

Pile 2

Right off the bat I'm feeling strong parental energy. You're so protective and responsible, a nurturer and a provider. You care so deeply about your loved ones and would go to the ends of the world for their sake! You like planning things for them and just want to do everything for them. You're like both a knight and a nurse, and you definitely give off a lover warrior energy. You're very smart with money and enjoy taking the financial pressure off from others. Strategic, smart, sharp, trustworthy and reliable. You're strong and capable and can be trusted with anything. You would make a great leader honestly. One of the cards had a picture of a white dragon flying in the sky with a sword in it's mouth. That's how you feel like, a true knight!

You watch over and protect your loved ones in the spiritual realm, you might've already noticed that. I'm getting this image of you ascending to the sky at nighttime when everyone's asleep and watching over them. Strong moon energy and high priestess/priest energy. You feel like a spiritual guardian. You're a spiritually elevated being and you've reached high levels of consciousness. Stubborn and strong-willed. You always persevere and you know how to master your shadows. Which makes you give off an energy of calm strength. You inspire clarity in others. How admirable pile 3!

You've reached the end! Thank you for reading!❤️

[jesus-is-an-ally]

How do you get past feeling stupid when you believe in God? Like, how do you ignore the feeling that you should be an atheist and not believe in God and that all this is just, a fake made up religion meant to control people? And obviously when i say you i mean i. I want to believe but i feel so dumb for it. I know im a smart person but every time i get involved with christianity i feel like im taking to an imaginary friend because thats how everyone refers to it. I feel like im feeding into an industry that colonized people, when i dont even go to church.

And ive had experiences with God that feel so unlike any religious experience ive had, but my brain always forces me to logic it away. Like ill feel an immeasurable level of calm and happiness and then my brain will go 'those are just endorphins'. How do i get past that?

Long read ahead, but I encourage everyone to read it, because I did my best to answer this and I think there's some good stuff in here.

Hey anon. First I'd like to say that I am not professionally trained, I do not possess a biblical degree of any kind, nor am I a pastor or a priest or anyone like that. But I have been a Christian my entire life, so that should count for something, Lord willing.

I also want to say that I think this is a very good question and I thank you for asking it, as it gave me a chance to think deeply on my faith in order to put it into words.

I always find it really hard to explain faith. I struggle to explain to fellows Christians, to non-Christians, and especially to people who aren’t religious or spiritual in any way. This is probably because faith is very much not a thing of this world, so it is nit easily translatable. But I will try my best.

I too have dealt with doubts in my life. I have felt the need to logic it away. All Christians have one doubt or another, and if they say they haven't, they are lying or potentially believing in a watered down, more palatable version of Christianity.

Either way, let's face it, the world is designed by the devil to make you doubt. The good news is that there is no question or doubt or critique that is going to make God start shaking in Their boots, realizing They hadn't thought of that. They are omnipotent, and anything you are wondering can most likely be found in the Bible, if you know where and how to look.

There are many books that explain the logic of Christianity, such as “Person of Intrest” by J. Warner Wallace or “The Case for A Creator” by Lee Strobel, who has also written many other books similar to this. Fair warning, it’s been forever since I’ve looked into either of these books, so there’s a chance there’s questionable stuff in there that I don’t remember.

However, I do need to say that faith is very much NOT a logical thing. It’s a belief in something that you cannot see, touch, hear, or otherwise sense except with your soul. It's the trust that God is out there, even when you lack concrete evidence.

I believe a person cannot become a believer by force, whether their own or someone else's. You have to truly open up your heart and let the Holy Spirit in. You must confess with your mouth that you believe in the Son of God who died and rose again, that you are a sinner, and that you need forgiveness and guidance.

I'm not pulling this out of my ass, there are a bunch of verses on how faith is not based in the logic of this world. Here are a few.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

For we live by faith, not by sight.

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

There's a story I heard when I was a kid about a pastor being asked if he can hear God speaking to him in his prayers, and the pastor responded "no, I can't hear Him, it's much clearer than that". Faith is something practically unexplainable in earthly concepts or words. But it is solid, even it doesn't feel like it.

Hebrews chapter 11 is all about faith and what people have done by it, and I encourage you to read it, but I'd like to specifically call attention to Hebrews 11:1, which says,

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

This is the verse often pointed to when people discuss the biblical definition of faith, and it's the best I can offer.

However, it sounds like science and reason is not the only thing you are struggling with. As for morality, how can we be Christians when Christianity was used to abuse, colonize, and murder innocent people all throughout history and even today?

I'm not going to use the bullshit excuse of "oh they just weren't real Christians" because that is unhelpful, defensive, and probably not even true. All Christians are sinners, and hatred, murder, and all of that other stuff are sins, so it is possible that many or all of those people were true believers.

The simple answer to this question is that sometimes you just have to accept that your people did bad things and swear do your best to stop it from happening again (without spending so much energy on it that you burn out). I have had a lot of practice at this since I'm also white.

In German elementary schools, when they teach the children about WW2, what they basically say is “hey, this is our history, you didn’t do it so you don’t have to feel guilt, but you do have a duty to never let it happen again”.

I think this sort of thinking should be taught to the descendants of all oppressive people. I will also add that we also need to check ourselves that no nasty thoughts have slipped their way in. Often, you can continue the hurt without realizing. But this doesn't mean that Christianity is secretly evil or that Christians are inherently going to abuse others or any of that.

At the end of the day, there's nothing I can truly say that will instantly make you believe.

Like I said, it's not something I can force nor is it something you can logic your way into. No amount of evidence, even if it's the most rock-solid thing in all of the universe, can make someone have faith.

I hope there is something in here that can help you in some way, anon, and I pray God blesses you and keeps you safe.

Beomgyu and Hueningkai Dynamic Reading

Okay, now time to get to this dynamic that was a request. Someone asked to get a channeled song, it is a bit harder to do so with 2 energies, but got Count on Me by Bruno Mars. This came at the end of the reading, but felt this song fit with their dynamic pretty well. I find their dynamic to be a bit more subtle than the others, but they do seem pretty close, but let's see what we get from the cards.

Overall energy: So, we got the Neptune energy, the card of illusions, fantasy, spirituality, but this can also be creative and imaginative energy. There could also be a lot of smoke and mirrors here with these two. Now, looking at their cards, not sure where that fits in, because they both seems pretty pragmatic and logical. Okay, I am getting something, it seems these both may have unrealistic expectations on things in life.

Now, with the House 6 card, this dynamic seems to be based on practicality and being of help and service to one another. I don't really get a close intimate bond (this could be among friends as well). I am not seeing much of that here. Now, with this Page of Swords, I see this as two people who may be hesitant to communicate with one another. There is a curiosity to learn more about each other, but they don't really inquire too deeply. I feel there is still a lot they need to learn about each other.

Beomgyu's energy: With this Saboteur card, he brings excitement to the relationship. He may be a bit disruptive in this dynamic. He has a bit of a trickster energy. I just see him playfully messing with Hueningkai. When I look at Hueninkai's energy, he seems very orderly, which surprises me, and I just see Beomgyu messing with that order or plans he has, maybe Beomgyu would like him to loosen up a bit, who knows. Now, with the Midas card. I see this as he is someone who gives a lot to Hueningkai, he may offer him help, be it money, or something like that.

He may also offer him money advice, business advice, because he also has the King of Pentacles here. It seems these two may talk about business and finances a lot with all these pentacles cards. They also give things to each other, money, or buy gifts or material things for each other, maybe even food and vitamins for each other. It seems they take care of each other on a practical level, more so than emotionally.

Now, with this 3 of Cups, the sole cup card here. It shows they do enjoy their time together from Beomgyu's perspective. They may go out for drinks every so often, but this card doesn't show an intimate close connection, it is more we have fun, have light fun conversations together amongst others. So, Beomgyu is showing me 3, 3 of Cups and 3 of Wands, meaning there is someone else they both may hang out with, but this shows me, they don't spend time alone together much. I feel they may be uncomfortable being alone together. Not saying they don't spend time together alone, but there may be an awkwardness there a bit.

When I see this 3 of Wands, it gives me he would like to do more with him. They could share their dreams and aspirations with one another, but I also see this card as a ride or die type of card, like he would do anything for him if need be. I also see that in the 3 of Wands, the person is looking at the water, unsure if they want to dive in. I see the water as emotions, as these connect with each other. I see it as he struggles to dive into his emotions or dive into Kai's emotions within this dynamic. Like they may not like being too vulnerable and emotional in this dynamic.

The Queen of Swords energy here is very levelheaded, not too emotional. I see him trying to keep his cool with Hueningkai. It is like he doesn't want to show weakness or vulnerabilty. He wants to appear stable, smart and wise around him. He is open to listening to what Kai wants to say. He is very observant of Kai. This card and the 3 of Wands cards are giving me he is observing him from afar, analyzing how he should approach him or engage with him. I don't see this dynamic for Beomgyu coming to him naturally. He has to be cautious and observant when it comes to Kai.

So, let's look at the guidance for Boemgyu in this dynamic. He got the Flamingo Spirit, now the card number comes to 8, this makes me think of the 8 of Swords, this is a struggle to communicate and express himself, so he may need to work on expressing himself in this dynamic. So, this card urges him to be present in the moment and to not worry too much about Hueningkai or the dynamic. He may get a bit worried about how to approach things in the dynamic. This card tells him to go with the flow and move through the uncertainty to not think too much about hoe he expresses himself, just be himself.

Hueningkai's Energy: Now, we start with the Lover card for him, this picture on the card reminds me of him. Just a ball of love and happiness. He seems to be very loving towards Beomgyu. He seems very appreciative of Beomgyu. I see him hugging him and thanking him a lot. I wonder if Beomgyu gives Hueningkai a lot of things, like essential things he may need. He seems to take care of him a lot in that sense.

Now, with the Executive card, Kai is a very stable, dependable person, a reliable friend he Beomgyu can count on in times of need. I say if Beomgyu needs something he can rely on Kai, maybe more so than anyone else. I say Kai is a very stable person in this bond. He rarely breaks down or gets too vulnerable, which is why I feel Beomgyu tries to replicate that energy to appear like the cool older brother for him. This is why he doesn't want to appear weak, as Kai doesn't showcase vulnerability. I like to stress being vulnerable isn't weak, but I feel in their energy they may connect that with weakness, which is why I keep saying that, but me personally, I do not believe that is weakness at all.

Now, with this Hanged man, I feel Kai learns a lot from Beomgyu. I say Kai is a very calm person overall. He tries not to stress too much. I do feel in this dynamic he kind of learns to be more calm and still and gain better awareness of himself and his situation. It is like he feels relaxed around Beomgyu, it is like Beomgyu may do a lot for him, so he doesn't have to do so much around Beomgyu.

To the Queen of Pentacles, this also shows me he is appreciative of Beomgyu. He appreciates all he does for him and all he gives to him. He feels abundant around him. Once again, he is showing me that they give a lot to one another, they are definitely an acts of service type of people together. They exchange a lot of gifts and service to one another. I feel like Beomgyu cheers him on and he feels really good about himself around Beomgyu. It is like he helps lifts his spirits and gives him confidence. I can see them both cheering each other on. I just see these two helping each other a lot to help boost their morale and confidence.

So, his guidance is the Deer spirit, this card calls on him to be a bit more soft, vulnerable and gentle. Now, this card number comes to 9, which makes me think of the 9 of Wands, which is having a guard and boundary up. This card urges him to let down his guard and to try to be more vulnerable and open and also receptive. This card urges him that yes, confidence and being stable is important, vulnerability is also important. You can be both. It is okay to show the softer parts of himself.

So, overall this is a sweet bond, not a very vulnerable and emotional connection at the moment. But they help each other in ways that work for them. I still find this dynamic sweet. Not all relationships will be overly emotional, especially when it comes to guys lol It is interesting seeing the different dynamics and how each member connects with one another.

[nonsensical-shitposting]

So in your Team Snakerverse au,

How communist is vi?

Is vi like a full on communist or a socialist, or even a democratic socialist, who wants to set up a method of democracy with socialist principles.

All my joking about TS!Vi being a communist revolutionary aside, communism and socialism as we understand them don't exist under the isopteran system of ideological classification, so none of those options really apply to her. TS!Vi's views are kind of an ideological grab-bag, in that she knows something needs to change in a major way, but... doesn't really know what she thinks the best way to get there is? She's toyed with antennalism (bureaucratic technocracy with a focus on massive levels of information-gathering), cephalicism (rhetorically vigilance-centered adhocracy, frequently associated with spiritualism), and thoracicism (vaguely defined, but usually boils down to decentralized egalitarianism) in the past, but she has issues with aspects of all three ideologies, not helped by the fact that the vast majority of her attempts to research them only turned up Podomerintern-approved resources that present the ideologies through a biased pro-podomeralism lens. It also doesn't help that the isopteran system was intentionally constructed to make ideologically "thinking outside the box" difficult, and just because TS!Vi's smart enough to have eventually figured this out doesn't mean she's unlearned everything, y'know?

The only thing Vi's consistently sure of is that she hates the Podomerintern and wants to end Termite imperialism, both in the Bee Kingdom and throughout Bugaria, it's just that she doesn't really know how she's going to get there yet. Remember, the core idea that the Team Snakereverse AU was built around is reversing the "starting positions" of Vi, Kabbu, and Leif: unlike canon Vi, TS!Vi was never really teased or doubted at home and didn't have to kitbash being a functioning independent person, but she lacks canon Vi's certainty of what she wants to do with her life and has trouble figuring out what lens she wants to see the world through. For TS!Vi, joining the Explorer's Association isn't the whole reason she left home, but rather a means to an end that'll allow her to subtly search Bugaria for bugs like her in hopes that they'll help her figure out what to do to bring down the Termite Kingdom's imperialism (the fact that being a licensed explorer means this'll all be on the Podomerintern's dime is just a bonus). TS!Vi's still recognizable as a Vi, don't get me wrong, and she does act very similarly to her canon counterpart, but her issues, her goals, and her underlying motives are quite different.

I think I got off topic there, whoops. To return to the question: TS!Vi's grab-bag of political views are close enough to what we'd call "socialism" or "communism," but those terms don't exist in the Team Snakereverse AU, so TS!Vi wouldn't identify herself as either; if you asked her what ideology she supports, her immediate response would probably be something along the lines of "ugh, what are you, a cop?" (Incidentally, this is also what she would say if you were to ask her about her gender.) She's more politically literate than canon Vi, but the deep subtle intricacies of government and governance bore her and she absolutely cannot stand people who spend more time debating ideological minutiae than actually, y'know, doing things in real life. Democracy-wise, TS!Vi's the specific kind of leftist who'd automatically agree that yeah, of course representative democracy is the best way to do things, duh, but the moment someone disagrees with her politics in a way that pushes her buttons she briefly blacks out from anger as she tries not to transform into a totalitarian despot on the spot- she supports electoralism, but only when people don't vote for something/someone stupid.

[danpuff-ao3]

Hi 🐍 can I request a sorting too if you're still doing it??🥺🥺 It's so cool!!!!!!!!

Oooh a whole chart to play with, goody!! I'm gonna narrow my focus, though. As much as I'd love to dig deep, I just did my first Astrology Analysis on Ko-fi which confirmed...yeah, looking at the whole thing is a lot. So I'll touch on a few details, look at little closer at others, but try to keep it simple.

(On that note, apologies for the lateness! I prioritized doing shorter, quicker Sortings and I was still unsure how to tackle this one until I did the Astrology Analysis, which sort of showed me how to go about this and where to put more of my focus.)

So...the signs have an element, and due to some historical associations between signs and houses, there is an idea of houses having elements, as well. So I'll treat the houses as sort of a "minor" house point, like I give the signs a major and minor sorting.

That said, the houses aren't specifically marked, but I have a pretty good idea of what they should be, so let's go!

So at first look we have:

By Sign:

Sun - Gemini - air - Ravenclaw

Moon - Cancer - water - Slytherin

Rising - Sagittarius - fire - Gryffindor

Mercury - Taurus - earth - Hufflepuff

Venus - Cancer - water - Slytherin

Mars - Virgo - earth - Hufflepuff

Jupiter - Aquarius - air - Ravenclaw

By House:

Sun - 7th - air - Ravenclaw

Moon - 8th - water - Slytherin

Mercury - 6th - earth - Hufflepuff

Venus - 7th - air - Ravenclaw

Mars - 10th - earth - Hufflepuff

Jupiter - 3rd - air - Ravenclaw

Though I usually can link a sign to 2 houses, 1 major and 1 minor, I will assign the house sorting as the minor sorting, unless a sign can strongly be argued to be in another Hogwarts house. You will also note I included Jupiter, which I don't always, but Jupiter is the chart ruler (per Sagittarius rising.)

Tricky to know where to start, so...maybe we'll start with the Rising and work backwards?

The planets are "what" is being represented, the signs are "how" it's being represented, and houses are "where" it's being represented.

Ascendant is how you react to the world, and how the world sees you. For you, that is Sagittarius, the mutable (changeable, adaptable) fire (energy, spirit) sign. Sagittarius is openminded, easygoing, free-spirited. Sagittarius is fun, chill, but also wise and moral. Sagittarius is very about finding meaning in the people around us, and our experiences. Quite philosophical and spiritual. Very Gryffindor, but also with Ravenclaw vibes for the focus on learning and creativity.

This also makes Jupiter the chart ruler. Jupiter is the planet of fortune, expansion, and excess. Here in Aquarius the fixed (stubborn) air sign (intellect, sociability.) Aquarius is the Water-Bearer (think of the water as being wisdom, and the Water-Bearer is sharing its wisdom and goodwill with others) and is ruled by Saturn (traditionally) and Uranus (modernly.) Aquarius is about humanitarianism, innovation, progressiveness, individuality, rebellion, and independence. Jupiter in Aquarius is all about the big-picture, big plans. Very creative and smart. Very independent, but also values connection. Very "I want people in my life, but I don't need them" energy. Also sort of says fortune can be found by behaving in Aquarius ways: by being innovative and unique and breaking the mold.

Jupiter is also in the third House: house of Siblings, Neighbors, Early Education, and Short Distance Travel. This is where we come from, but more on a community level than a familial level. Can imply good relationship with/or getting help from siblings and neighbors. This is also a more Mental House so again, an expansion of the mind in ways. Expanding one's network/building a team to help further those big plans.

Both Aquarius and the Third house are big Ravenclaw vibes for sure.

Mars is the planet of drive and action. It's in Virgo the mutable (changeable, adaptable) earth sign (stability, security.) Virgo is the Maiden and is ruled by Mercury. Virgo is very service-oriented, and seeks stability. How Virgo finds security in cementing its place as being useful, helpful, and by providing excellence. Virgo is very perfectionistic, critical, reliable, capable. Virgo is driven by the need to seek security, and also to make it. Very "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself" energy. Virgo is very meticulous (thanks to that Mercury rulership) and analytical and always has a game plan. They are very prepared, so even when plans go awry that adaptability kicks in and all of their skills and knowledge are put to good use finding alternative means of accomplishing their goals.

Mars is also in the 10th House, the House of Status. The Tenth House is all about reputation, public image, success, achievement, etc. About accomplishing things, but also being recognized and appreciated for those accomplishments. Mars here is very ambitious, has leadership potential, takes initiative.

Pretty Hufflepuff, yeah, for all that hard work and pride in their work. Virgo's want to help others is also very Hufflepuff. But there's a fair bit of Slytherin here, too, with that ambition and resourcefulness. I'd call this Slytherpuff, I think.

Venus is the planet of love, which covers romantic and platonic relationships, as well as self-love and self-care, and hobbies and interests. In Cancer the cardinal (forward moving) water sign (emotion, intuition.) Cancer is the Crab (hard outer shell, soft insides) and is ruled by the Moon. Cancer is very moody, sensitive, nurturing, protective, and compassionate and has big ties to the home and family. Very mothering in relationships (mom friend, anyone?) and might have hobbies and interests focused on the family (blood or chosen) and home. Scrapbooks, cooking, photo albums, family trees, family game nights, etc. Cancer is also pretty reserved, and defensive. Very loyal and giving once they've "chosen" people.

Venus is also in the 7th House, House of Marriage. This covers marriage, business partners, contracts, and open enemies. So of the relationship houses, this more implies serious and official connections. There is a draw to having very settled and secure relationships be it marriage or otherwise. This indicates a big value on others and relationships. Very creative, and probably inspired by ones relationships.

Hmmm. Another pretty Slytherpuff vibe. The Seventh House connection brings out more of Cancer's Hufflepuff side, I think, with that bigger focus on other people and giving them that loyalty and love. But Cancer is also pretty dang Slytherin with that self-preservation and resourcefulness and sense of fraternity.

Mercury is the planet of information (learning, thinking, communication.) In Taurus the fixed (stubborn) earth sign (stability, security.) Taurus is the Bull and is ruled by Venus. Very reliable, hard-working, but also sensual and romantic. Earth links to the physical world, which might imply a more hands-on type learning, learning by doing, or learning best through the senses. (Especially multiple senses, to like seeing + listening.) Might favor more practical subjects (as earth signs do) but also ones that can be enjoyed and have a creative lean. Also a bit clever and/or sarcastic when interacting. Taurus is patient and might be slow and takes the time to really think about things. Also Taurus rules the throat so Taurus Mercury often implies having a nice voice!

In the Sixth House, House of Health, Wellness, Routines, Odd Jobs. Sixth house connection to jobs might mean more communication style type jobs (teaching, writing, etc.) or anything focused on the mental realm. Might be good with organization and making lists. Really applying the mind to the arenas of one's wellbeing and one's career. Smart, hard-working, health conscious (can be physical and/or mental health.)

It'd call this Hufflepuff I think for all that big work ethic energy, but bits of Ravenclaw here and there too.

Moon...your moon is a fun one, I gotta be honest. Moon is our emotion and subconscious. It is domicile in Cancer, so it works at peak capacity with Cancer energy. We've already discussed Cancer energy below, but in the moon specifically this implies a deep emotional connection to one's family, history, roots, etc. Most comfortable and internally at peace at home or with loved ones. Very private about one's feelings. Very sensitive. Strong empathy for others.

The Moon is also in the 8th House, House of Death, Transformation, Taboos and Secrets, Sexuality and Intimate Relationships, and Inheritances. While the Seventh House is "official" relationships, the Eighth House is more about intense, deep, spiritual connections to others. With the moon, it's this big need to emotionally connect with someone. Very intense. Very sensitive. Can also imply emotional distress and overwhelm. The Eighth House was considered malefic by ancient astrologers. There's a lot of uncertainty, and potential draw to mystical subjects.

This is a very emotionally charged place imo. And for me, water signs often give a sense of fear due to the extremity of emotion, and more so here because of the Eighth House. So Cancer's defensiveness and reservation is probably amplified here. There is a big sense of self-preservation, looking after the self, and those one loves. Likely very clever and resourceful. Likely very loyal, too. The Hufflepuff is strong here, but the Slytherin is stronger.

Finally, we see the sun, our core and our ego, in Gemini, the mutable (changeable, adaptable) air sign (intellect, sociability.) Gemini is represented by the Twins and is ruled by Mercury. Very playful, charming, curious, clever. Likes variety. Likes to explore. Optimistic, very "bouncy" energy.

The Sun is in the Seventh House with Venus. So the Self in the House of Relationships. This is not the best place for the sun, as the sense of ego sort of clashes with the need for equality and connection to others. There is a potential to overidentify with relationships. Really able to learn about the self and express the self when with others. For me this is sort of the idea of how we can learn from others in general, but with the Sun this specifically relates to the self. This does indicate being socially skilled, and likely very diplomatic and good with negotiating. There is a desire for equality and harmony here. Genuine care for others and having good relationships.

All in all I'll call the Sun a Ravenclaw. I usually think of Gemini as leaning a bit Slytherin, but in the Seventh House gives me more Hufflepuff vibes (even if it is an air house.)

So now let's see:

Sun: Ravenclaw (Hufflepuff)

Moon: Slytherin (Hufflepuff)

Rising: Gryffindor (Ravenclaw)

Mercury: Hufflepuff (Ravenclaw)

Venus: Slytherpuff

Mars: Slytherpuff

Jupiter: Ravenclaw

So we see 2 major Ravenclaw points and 2 minor. Lots of overall Slytherpuff energy with 2 Slytherpuff points, 1 major and 1 minor Hufflepuff points, and 1 major Slytherin point. We can maybe pull the Slytherpuff apart to give Slytherin 3 major points and Hufflepuff 1 major and 4 minor points. Just for the sake of having a clear winner, however...

You have a Grand Trine.

That big blue triangle. Grand Trine. Grand Trines are when 3 planets trine each other (basically a happy relationship between planets) and usually happen within the same element. Here, you have an Earth Grand Trine. This is thought to be a very beneficial pattern to have in a chart. Capricorn Neptune trines Taurus Mercury. Taurus Mercury trines Virgo Mars. Virgo Mars trines Capricorn Neptune.

So if we look at the Slytherpuff points as being an equally major point to both. That gives us 3 major Slytherin points and 4 major Hufflepuff points, plus the Grand Trine. I'm more inclined to give this one to

HUFFLEPUFF

but with a strong Slytherin side, too.

Pale 6.7

When she’d been asked and quizzed back when they’d started the practice, she’d decided that more than water, than fire, than iron, wood, or air, the element that was most her was smoke. Smoke warned of imminent fire, and smoke lingered after those fires had gone out. Smoke could be abrasive, could be cleansing in some spiritual contexts.

this explains her glamour transformations

Stretching across the line, doing its own writing, was an arm, slender, black-skinned, and prickling with goosebumps.  The nails were like red-tinted crystal framed in metal, the skin had a faint smokey texture to it, and the wrinkles at the knuckle and the crook of the elbow had deeper, almost tarnished texture within them.

this is cool! love the manifestation of the implement

Lucille Desiree Ellingson–-Practitioner and protector of Kennet.

I love the symbolic naming you get in rituals

By default, the most comfortable she’d ever seen him, he had the aura of a blustery, arrogant, alcoholic teacher or principal dropped into the middle of a gang-ridden school to be the counterpoint to the protagonist’s stern-but-gentle, world-wise approach. Man, she hated those movies.

I saw Stand and Deliver at least three times at school

(also, while trying to find that title, I looked up another inspirational teacher movie my school showed us, about teaching shakespeare at a bootcamp, which apparently has a rotten tomatoes score of 12%. why were we shown that.)

By contrast, Ted Havens looked like he’d picked up his clothes at a thrift shop and cut his own hair, but he wore it well.

Aspirational. I have decided I like Ted.

Much like world peace, unity among practitioners is not had by sharing, caring, and a leveling of the playing field.

I love that Bristow is trying to frame Alexander as some naive hippy feelgood teacher, despite Alexander's overwhelming rat bastardness

“Such a one sided education.  More’s the pity, Alexander.” Lucy wished she knew what they’d said. Mr. Hennigar smiled.

oh cool, is the implement ritual retroactively letting Lucy eavesdrop?

You should have been here, Tymon, Lucy thought.  Big brother’s responsibility.  There’s too much going on.

I think Booker set the bar pretty high for older brothers

“I like you too much.  Avery Kelly, I bind you by the names Pam, by Ms. Hardy-”

I'm glad Verona's having fun

She emerged, using the black rope, from smoke and flame, fire licking her as she came at Liberty from behind.

really like this visual, also a neat way of using the rope

“Better for who?  Not me.  My friends are my priority here,” Avery said, unflinching.  “Play your shallow power games with someone else.”

fuck yeah!

“Your intention seems to be that you’re making yourselves very prominent wild cards, and then offering to take yourselves off the table.”

I think being powerful enough to not be worth messing with was exactly what you were arguing for at the beginning of this lesson

“You want me to trust myself?” Lucy asked. “I am an expression of you and your Self.  I am made of the care and attention from two members of your triad.  I am to make you shine, my practitioner.  But you must meet me halfway.  You know too many things and don’t believe them and you think you believe things but can’t know them.  This is like a hurt, a flaw.  At the heart of you.  It threatens to shatter you.  This internal war has settled and gone quiet, this far from home and familiar sentiment, but it’s not silent.  It swells in your heart.  It hurts.” “I tell you nothing you don’t already know.  You have always paid attention. You know you are loved but you don’t believe it.”

i love this so much. The phrasing of "my practitioner"...

And the lesson here! That Lucy does know what's going on, that she's smart and attentive and good at social dynamics and figuring things out. But she second-guesses that, doubts her own intuition and knowledge, and the not-knowing eats her up inside. And since so much of what she deals with are racist microaggressions, she never gets closure on them, never gets a concrete answer of if she as right or just overthinking it.

But when it comes down to it, the people in her life who matter trust her. Not just that they love and support her and are willing to back her up, but that they trust her judgement even when she can't. Avery and Verona don't really parse when what's going on is due to racism in the way that Lucy can see it, but they take her at her word. Her mom isn't always physically present, but she trusts Lucy's judgement. And Booker listens to Lucy talk through her observations, her theories, the doubt that chips away at her, and says "You're right. Stop doubting yourself."

Trust your keen attention, trust your friends to have your back, trust yourself. You know this without hearing it or being told.

“Will you chase that, and run from the question of love?”

*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:

Taeil

I see Taeil getting with someone who’s not only mature (personality-wise, actual age doesn’t matter) but also very determined and decisive. He’d like a person that doesn’t change their mind about things too often, learns well from their mistakes and is just all-around balanced. Other traits that I think he’d look for: politeness, a MUST; grounded; good at giving advice. Pretty much a twin-flame of his.

I think he’d find it cute if they think in a detail-oriented way and appreciate the small things in life. A positive, grateful mentality would be SO attractive to him, I swear. 

One of his deal breakers would most likely be excessive jealousy and possessiveness. He trusts you and your love for him, and I think he’d feel distraught if you were constantly questioning the relationships he has with other people (friends, co-workers, fans, etc.)

Last important thing: needs a person that can take a hit. He’s probably looking for someone he can spend the rest of his days with, so a quitter just isn’t good for that. There will be difficult moments in the future and he needs to know they won’t give up on him and on the life he chose.

Taeyong

I think Taeyong would like a calm person that knows how to take control of the relationship. He probably feels tired sometimes from leading a group of 23 people, so I can imagine he’d be thrilled if he was able to not worry at all when he’s around his partner. He trusts they’re capable of dealing with any problems that may arise and keep their feet on the ground. Bonus points if they have a good relationship with themselves.

By that I mean: you know how people say you can’t truly love others until you love yourself? Yeah, that. He’s a person like any other, and there are times when he struggles with self-love, but he needs someone that doesn’t hate themselves, or he’ll simply go crazy. With his career come so many rumours and moments that tear at his confidence… he just doesn’t need a person that has to be convinced every single day that they’re worthy of the good things in life. 

I’d say, in general, all he asks for is someone that can watch out for themselves. He’d take care of them too, but he’d like it SO much if just for once in his life he’s the one being cared for. Would just melt on the spot if you have that caring, almost parental instinct in you. Gods, yes. That’s all I can say.

Johnny

I can see him being with a very bright, smart person. He’d like someone that comes from a different background so he could learn more about their life—whether that means the country they were born in or their field of work. I think he would appreciate a very laid back person that doesn’t get stressed too often and won’t make fun of him for his bad jokes. Also, doesn’t like people that try to play him. Honesty above all.

He’d like it if they are super curious and creative, too. Picking up new hobbies and interests is something he’d be up to anytime, and it doesn’t matter what it is either. He’d give anything a try—from knitting to marine biology, no questions asked.

Something he’d dislike is if the person is too materialistic. It’s not like he’s a completely spiritual being and lives with 0 detachments to objects but he’s a firm believer in what Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said: what is essential is invisible to the eye. And, you know, what you truly find essential is up to you; it can mean family, friends, love, hope, all of that… he just wants you to love life itself as much as he does.

Yuta

He’d probably like one of the two drastic variants: a very gentle, sweet person or someone who’s on his level of flirtatiousness and boldness. Wouldn’t mind any, but he needs a strong personality, either way, you know? No blandness here. 

Something very attractive to him is being involved in social issues and caring for the world around you. Very sexc, yes, and also likes people that make others smile.

Something that would make him quite literally give up on someone is the excessive fear of change, or just the will to remain in their comfort zone at all costs. He earns for a person that wants to live life to its fullest. If not they’re not ride-or-die to that level, then he hopes they at least accompany and support him in all of the things he wants to do. 

One thing that is very tied to that is his dislike for know-it-alls. He lives in such a diverse scenario that it’s just dumb for him to think someone would ever be capable of knowing every piece of information on everything that’s out there. He’s fine with people making mistakes, but if they can’t admit to that or admit they don’t know something he just gets pissed off. So, yeah, he’d avoid stuck-ups.

Doyoung

He’d like someone very loyal and fair, who treats people with respect but calls them out if they ever have to. I think he’d prefer a person that is naturally a deep thinker and wouldn’t lose their mind over small disagreements. 

Much like Johnny, he likes that intellectual side of yours, and when I say that I don’t mean like “ah, he’d want to date a math genius” or something. No, no. I’m referring to all types of intellectuality and intelligence. The thing for him is simply using your brain and being proud of it. He would just dislike a person that kind of lives life on autopilot, you know?

He’d like it if they’re interested or professionally involved with music somehow and would consider their opinions in his career. He wouldn’t mind if their taste is hugely different from his, though. It’s alright if pop music is not your favourite or if you have no idea who EXO is (lol). All he wants is to see the world through your eyes too, in all aspects of life including this one.

Will also love you forever if you side with him when he’s being teased by the others, because, c’mon, it’s always 22 people against poor, defenceless Doyoung. Please don’t join them, he’s begging you—

Jaehyun

This is very, very clear to me but he needs to be with an independent person. He’s quite sentimental and he has his more romantic moments, sure, but he wants someone that can give him the space he needs when he needs it. A person that’s constantly begging him for attention would be way more of a burden than anything else.

Also, he’s 100% alright with someone that has a very explicit and loud love language (like saying “I love you” 300 times a day) but he’s not like that, and he needs them to see that. Jaehyun could NOT be with a person that doesn’t appreciate the love he shows in the little things, like making coffee in the morning, and if they ever question the way he feels… yeah, not good. He’d feel misunderstood and that’s a big no-no.

He’d find it cute if they’re bubbly or just very youthful but is also capable of falling for an old soul that shares his interests in things like classical music and vinyls. I don’t think he’d ever get with someone that's kind of a tech addict, though, idk why but that’s quite clear to me. Always being on your phone or caring too much about social media would probably make him feel like you’re not grateful for the things you have around you, in real life. So, yeah, not attractive, bestie.

Jungwoo

Jungwoo is a very, very, very sweet person and he needs someone who’s also like that. He wouldn’t care if that’s there for everyone to see, in the sense that they’re not shy about it, or if it’s a part of them that only a couple of close people know. As long as it’s there, he’s happy.

Aside from that, I think he’s fully capable of falling in love with quite literally anyone. He can see the beauty in all types of people, from all places, backgrounds, races, and just—anyone. He’s just so full of love for people, ah I can’t even. He’s too good for this world.

Some things that could, however, push him away from getting to know someone: a negative way of thinking, being too traditionalistic, and too much scepticism. He’s fine with people that like to honour the past and their roots but like, you’ve gotta keep up with the world you live in and accept that things change. I think that’s very tied to how much he likes defying masculine standards, too. 

The scepticism thing is quite simple: he can handle teasing just fine but if they’re constantly making fun of him for wearing his heart on his sleeve or being a bit goofy, he’d feel kind of betrayed.

final notes: this is the 3rd nct work i’m posting here and i’m already writing more, so i think it’s time i set up a masterlist, a fic rec blog and a tag list. if you want to be tagged in my future fics, let me know (dm, comments, anything) :)

I'll give it a shot. What path in life is right for me? What should I strive towards?

For “what path in life is right for you” I pulled the king of cups. And this may not be you at this moment but maybe things you need to strive towards incorporating🥰 so when we look at the king of cups we see The King of Cups sits on a large stone throne and wears a blue tunic and a gold cape – a symbol of his authority and status. A small fish amulet hangs around his neck symbolising his creativity. In his right hand, he holds a cup representing the emotions, and his left has a sceptre, showing power and control. Unlike the other Cups court cards, he doesn’t look at his cup and seems to be focused elsewhere; perhaps he has already mastered his emotional self and doesn’t need to concentrate as hard on this facet of himself. The King of Cups appears to be floating on a granite block in the middle of a turbulent sea. Behind him on his right, a fish jumps out of the ocean, while on the left, a ship sails steadily despite the waves. These images show that this King stays calm and balanced, even in turbulent conditions, and has learned how to stay open to his emotions and unconscious impulses, without being overwhelmed by them. He keeps power and control while balancing his feelings.The King of Cups represents mastery over the realms of emotion, creativity and the unconscious. When this card turns up in a Tarot reading, you have gained control of your feelings and can accept them without allowing them to get the better of you. Even when life throws you a curve ball, you can draw on your emotional maturity and stability to help you navigate these challenges. You don’t let things get to you, and you steer clear of the drama, instead choosing an emotionally balanced and calm approach.

If you are being challenged personally, the King of Cups suggests you need to remain emotionally mature when faced with negative energy from others. Be firm on your personal boundaries, stating what is and is not acceptable on an emotional level. This King is level-headed and in control of his emotions. He uses his intellect to make smart decisions and does not let other circumstances or whims sway him from his central beliefs and morals. Stay true to your emotions and feelings and do not allow others to steer you off course.

The King of Cups embodies the perfect balance between the executive and the heart. Not only are you able to assess and manage a situation logically, but you can also draw upon your intuition and understanding of human interactions. As a leader, you care as much about achieving your goals and objectives as you do about making sure everyone is happy and engaged along the way. If you sense that logic and emotion are out of balance, draw on the energy of this King to realign yourself.

As a King, he has a masculine, fatherly energy, and as a Cups card, he brings his emotional self to the forefront. He offers wise advice when it comes to feelings, emotions, creativity and relationships and can see the human dynamic in its entirety. The King of Cups is compassionate towards others, creating strong bonds and relationships based on patience and understanding. As you interact with others, you may need to navigate their strong feelings and emotional triggers so you can create a sense of peace in your interactions. He may appear in your life as a mentor, coach or spiritual guide; or you may step into this role yourself.

Alright guys, I’m about to hit y’all with a really long post, but I think it might be necessary and it’ll definitely be helpful so stick with me.

So recently I was chatting with a friend about how odd it is that baby witches these days don’t seem to start with the actual basics. Like...learning the basics of specialty things like herbology and color magick is all well and good and by all means necessary, but safety should always come first.

Personally, I think it’s always best to know three key things before getting started with any actual shadow work:

The first one is obviously just doing some in depth research about the history of the Craft, common jargon, and what all is out there to explore. Keep in mind that exploration and study is a far cry from actually working with and utilizing said magicks! Even as an experienced practitioner, I still always thoroughly research anything before I attempt it. Gaining knowledge from those who have worked the same type of magick before you is always a smart idea. There are some paths of magick that can actually hurt you if you don’t properly understand it. Knowledge is power!!!

The second thing to learn is basic grounding, circle casting, and protection. Your first line of defense will always, always come down to how well you’ve grounded yourself and how strong the mental protective circle you’ve cast is. Even though these are the basic of the basic, they are worth honing and practicing no matter how experienced you become. The main reason I feel comfortable to cast spells without any equipment to bolster my circle (such as a candle grid or crystal wards, etc.) is because grounding myself and casting mental circles for protection has become second nature to me. I practice them all the time, my personal practice routine involving maintaining both aspects while completing simple house chores. (I highly recommend that method!!)

Now, the first two are things that baby witches will most likely find and figure out eventually, and the main reason I’m stressing them in particular is to address that there is a reason they are important: safety. The “basics” of any skill, path, or lifestyle are considered the first necessary things/skills to learn specifically because they are hella important and extremely beneficial!! The longer you practice any skillset, the more experience you’ll gain and the more you’ll be able to accomplish in said field. BUT. if your foundation is weak, the weight of the knowledge you’ve gained thus far will be enough to make you crumble, whether it be to hubris or just generally attempting something you aren’t ready for/not prepared enough for. Always, ALWAYS continue to hone the basics.

The last thing is just a helpful bit of knowledge that I’ve noticed many people tend to forget, but keeping this piece of wisdom in mind can significantly aid in you becoming stronger. What I’m speaking of is understanding exactly where you’re at awareness wise, as well as what psychic awareness actually is.

Surprisingly, this is very often confused for spiritual awareness (I’ll explain how they’re different in a moment) or the ability to see ghosts (which although this skill can be part of a honed psychic awareness, it is FAR from everything relating to it).

So let’s get the actual definition out of the way first:

Psychic awareness is the ability to remain in tune with both the happenings of the psychic, nonphysical world and the material, physical world AT THE SAME TIME. It is a skill steeped in balance and practice, but is incredibly powerful when achieved and honed!!

Now, for some people, there is this assumption that once you achieve perfect balance between grounding and spirituality, that’s it. That’s as far as you go. But the truth is actually far from it! From there, you can begin the slow, steady process of what some people call “enlightenment.”

You see, when you begin this practice, the overall awareness is probably still an infant. It’s small and can’t see or grasp everything, but when balanced it can begin to comprehend a bit of both sides. See here in the diagram below:

See how there’s still a lot of the bar on either side left to discover? There’s still a long way to go! So then...how exactly does one go about extending the green awareness area? It’s actually pretty simple. Repeated mediation and, once again, going back to the basics and honing them. Over and over again. It also helps to learn how to hold both sides while still doing other things to boost this process (like my mention of my practice while completing chores from earlier in the post).

After awhile, the meter starts to shift like so:

As it states in the image, you might begin to get a little out of balance while heightening your awareness because some people are naturally inclined to a certain aspect. For example, I tend to lean towards the spiritual side naturally, so I have to work a little harder to extend my abilities in grounding than in spirituality. As such, there are times when I have to stop and rebalance the newly lengthened awareness before I can continue (so it doesn’t get too out of hand!).

The final image below is basically where the skill level of someone with full psychic awareness would be at:

Anyway, that’s my attempt at being helpful for the day lol

Happy crafting!

[ofstvrlights]

to my feral partner in crime, my productivity hour buddy, my confidant, one of my closest friends, and so much more,

happy 24th, @sweetestscon! with our luck, this will be posted by like the seventh, when you’ll already be... 24 & 1/52nd (see? i know math!), but we can just pretend it posted on the 1st at 12 am! we already lose enough track of time as it is, according to our rping track record, so what’s a week more? 

i could go on and on about your endless support, your calm, caring voice of reason in the midst of such chaos, but we’ve heard all of that. you know all of that. you have changed my life in so many ways.

before i knew you, i used to think there was a set way of being a smart woman. no one consciously puts another into a box (or at least, i would hope not), but like it or not, those boxes are there, and when it comes to them, recognition and normalization are practically one and the same. so subconsciously, i wrote smart girls and spiritual girls off as two entirely separate types of women. however, then i met you. yes, you are a genius. yes, you are so driven and ambitious. yes, you are incredibly alert, but you’re also wise beyond your years. the wisdom you dispense on such a casual, basic, fundamental level on a regular basis always astounds me. however, more than this, your deep love of learning manifests in all your interests. just when i think there’s nothing left to learn, there you are, teaching me about aspects in astrology or weird new york laws or the type of men that you should learn to avoid on the subway. the excitement you have over your knowledge, the way that you are both five and seventy-five years old when you share it with me, it inspires me every day.

i don’t really get to say thank you enough for all you’ve done over the past three months or so, so let me take this opportunity now to say thank you, i love you sooo much, and i can’t wait until you finally come home! thievery watch sessions & npc pinterest boards are calling our names! in the meantime, have the best time on your vacation, tell me everything, and may twenty-four be your best year yet! you deserve the world and more, and i can’t wait to see you finally receive the same treatment you’ve been giving to everyone and everything. you are amazing and i’m so lucky to know the wonderful woman you are!

p.s.: if a certain someone tries to give you shit again once you go back to work, let me know <3 i will lose my mind :)

[queenofallwitches]

Why I hate people who spend their adult life arguing online;

1. Well it’s juvenile , I personally prefer to leave any and all pseudo intellectual social discourse in my 6th grade debating class...

2. You aren’t anyone important and not saying novel things, you are using people who have put information that is novel and trying to spin it into your own agenda.

3. Waste of time, fools will be foolish, and if you enjoy the discourse, toastmasters or academic debating would be more productive uses of time

4. You lack self insight

5. You are self aware and doing it due to your own egotistical, sadistic, cunning desires. (Trolls, deep fakes)

Why I never take anyone who loves to argue on menial topics seriously: (spiritually or mentally)

I am high iq and high eq. I am also “attractive by the conventional measures of society” I deal with the most pathetic and malicious idiots who cannot understand a woman who has aesthetic appeal, that can also hold a stimulating and intelligent conversation.

I don’t argue. I problem solve. Arguing online was faded out when I was 14 years old.

But people who are almost 40, ar still out there pretending that they are the most unique and authoritative source of blogging bullshit. When the world media and journalism is where we are today. The academic literature speaks a plethora more than an adult in the hamster wheel, unable to see they are playing checkers in a left vs right, design by social engineering and the think tanks of Tavistock, you play the part they put you to be.

A dialectic of irrational and repetitive arguments is never productive.

It lacks a solution or a higher order of resolution, why are you behaving to destroy when you are claiming to want to create a world better?

So unconscious and unexplained lack of self awareness in adults who are obviously insecure and ignorant becomes old quick.

I comprehend why it’s important but the level of the argument is basic, and been recycled 1000000 times.

Why am I writing this? Free speech is not free. If you can discourse over the same shit and never find a solution you are part of the same fucking problem.

How I know?

Life experience. Learning.

Love of learning and living and devouring the higher level of what if, how can we, let’s move into a better solution.

I have many years of experience that is beyond the understanding of most people and I have gone through things nobody understands.

One time I was a young teen, but was already too smart, too sassy, too aware and that left my life a wreck after I went too far.

I DID get expelled in the 11th grade. I’m no idiot, I am actually genius, by measures of conventional iq.

So I was academically talented without effort, not to boast, because I hated being smart.

But I did get the internet social discourse I needed to say; on things that we should be all knowing are social engineering in a designed dichotomy to divide and conquer.

I was in a program in high school called cum laude. I cannot recall the meaning. But we were advanced academics, not only skilled at learning but sports, extra curricular things like musicals, choir, crusade survivor camps (duke of Edinburgh), debating, tutoring/mentoring younger students & more. I won many awards without trying. Mostly for geography (social science), design tech, visual art & creative writing. I was learning university level things in year 8. And examining and analysis to debate in scholarly discourse about topics that were familiar when I was in 1-2 year of my bachelor degree. An example is philosophy, as this was mandated in the GT program. Smart is my sense of knowing how to balance the logical and the emotional. This is ONE percent of my life but one I did not follow through on and as a result I walk this path now, and I put up with the educated and intelligent “idiots” (like conformity, bullying, bitching kids in the same class) and refuse to stoop to low iq, low eq and low level idiots.

You waste time. I am not saying I am only exclusive to educated or academic professionals, that is not what this is about. This is about me being underestimated and undermined and never taken seriously because I get the most inhuman torment if I do start to speak my truth.

Lucky I found comfort in solitary rebellion. So. Let’s see what I am that is always going to be a work in progress but what my enemies forget all the time.

To remind you:

I am a born, intuitive empath, psychic and ancestral lineages of many esoteric paths play into my natural ability. I used to hate feeling, knowing and perceiving things that I could see happening, in my dreams, visions and ��gnosis” before they happened. I felt powerless.

But now I know how to harness it, things change.

And yet still I have to sit back and observe, as I did for years in school, and then in the fucking shithole employment situation that was my consequence of 2 expulsions from schools. (They value conformity over fucking intelligence) I had a gang of kids in my last high school sign a petition to have me expelled and that is one example of how people in my life come to attack, hate, misunderstand and spit venom for no reason.

I never push that energy myself. But I call things as I see them. I am real , and my perception is primed to pierce the veil on those who lack authenticity, who are bullies, cunning, cruel, conformists, deep fakes, fraudulent, following orders for the sake of fear, or just narcissistic or psychopathic “organic portals” who carry out the agenda for the black lodge.

I have no issue if these people want to live a life away from me and what I protect. But when my sphere is crossed into on a repeated basis, I will study the situation in silence. I won’t speak of what I see, without objective and subjective factors weighed in a careful, cautious but not closed minded, way. See you and I are probably not the same because I’m the kind of human who always gives people the benefit of the doubt and believes that people are better, that is my detriment and my strength. I see the good and hope that others carry a genuine heart and soul. But my experience shows me that I am not wrong when I feel off, or intuitive feelings are ignored due to my “dismissal”.

When I find the truth, I always say, I knew I needed to listen to my heart and head.

That’s why I can never be broken, or betrayed, or backstabbed worse than before. It is always a learning lesson I am open to growing from.

I am always open to being wrong, or told how to be better, my flaws are on open display and I am not scared of that. I want to be more helpful to grow and nourish the people and places I interact with.

In my world, arguing online was a dying medium by my 18th birthday. For many reasons. But the enemy is a sucker for this divide and conquer, drama bred social and political bullshit that’s all just opinion and speculation. It creates a negative tone and teaches nothing of novelty or wisdom. It just shows how weak, insecure, paranoid, and self obsessed people who are too old for the high school bullshit, by miles, are. my enemies could even spit out the first longing to follow the death cult of the black lodge, I was already aware of what 95 % of you found out in 2020. I don’t mean to be pretentious or pompous, I’m not. I’m actually the most passionate, loving and open minded human I know. But the people who come into my spaces to play to prey. Imposters and the immoral, A siphoning sickness in a role to ruin, how could anyone do that but someone who is a soul-devoid parasite? That’s real fucking discourse. Let’s talk about morality, moral principles and how they are applied and actualised into the metacogition of your own microcosm.

Suggestions and solutions?

How about discourse on the metaphysics of mystic, magick, the mind and the method to mend the mundane world into a manifestation where a symbiotic system of mutually beneficial prosperity, peace, collaboration, creation & harmony can be lived on a daily basis?

How about solutions and sitting with your own shadow in the darkness to see your flaws.

how they only give me a free pass to watch the shit show. when push comes to shove and patterns that are seen in your behaviour, cyclically, are the key that unlocks the truth of anyone’s hidden motivation.

Why is deception and destruction never noted by the deceived, unless someone like me comes to break the wall of ignorance to say “hey this is the truth and it hurts and looks vile but fucking wake up”. No I don’t like the ripple impact this has but at the same time I am aw woman of strength. I will stand up for the real, authentic and genuine truth and speak my mind.

I don’t sugar coat this bullshit.

Nor will I indulge it.

Let alone be a person who lets it seep it’s tendrils into my life and what I love.

Not ever. Never.

As someone wise once said “despair ends, tactics begin”

You cannot claim any authentic path without putting your soul, blood and spirit to the test of facing your demons, slaying the darkness. I am not sure that comes with what I and others see these action and behaviour presenting to be.

I rarely write things like this, and only want to address this because i walk on a path of “rose and thorn”. My thorn will eventually slay whatever is a threat, a charlatan or a sheep in wolves clothing. By accident. Because what you are lacking is always looking to attack, I am always having to protect and defend my life from the evil.

I see you. I know the hidden hand x64. I am always open to forgiving people if they are sincere but will play reflection of the adverse if passive people are coming to what to me, is a beautiful and amazing thing, and to be acting as agents of sabotage? Shame on your lack of soul, and it’s lack of seeking to steal, stain and shit all over the things of substance, spirituality and sincerity will always be seen when I am the seer seeing the undertones.

So where is the moral compass?

Find yourself, and then you can find something real that is yours to be into and love. Maybe even this. But to fuck with what is real, while being fake, and following orders, is by far, fence sitting and fraudulent, insidious & infantile activity. Why not spend time looking inside to see why you are following this order from who for what? What is your genuine purpose? Soul mission? Higher self ? Or are you all still stuck in the love is the law is the law love under the will of the guy who wrote a book last century.

Fucking even Crowley lived his great work, and he has flaws and did things many would dispute to be “evil”. But he didn’t copy another clone from 100 years prior, following the mantra that someone else made up. That’s the stupid thing, the whole “do what thou wilt” was not do what you want but that is not a strong point for the sheep of the worst. I know as I see both sides, and as a child in the 90s I saw the dark, evil and insidious. To see that again, here, 3 decades later, playing coy but really carrying rancid intent.. is my call to commune what many will never see, because you all are complicit, and tell these fucking lies and divert productive progress by your stupid discourse. These people LOVE senseless debating. Semantics. Solutions, self awareness or seek a soul inside the empty cavern that the black lodge will set inside your sadistic serpentine, slimy soul.

[sugar-petals]

I know that you're a multifan so I hope you won't reject my offer. There isn't much shinee fans around here so there isn't enough readings/analysis about them. Can you please make a reading about their ideal types or future partners type of reading? I love your writings, you put so much detail into it. I hope you'll do one for them like the one you did for BTS. I love shinee but people nowadays only know taemin so there isn't much info about others yet I'm curious about them all😭

let’s have a look: here goes their future partner prediction. includes an oracle message from jonghyun to the members at the end.

♡ minho: ACE OF SWORDS

i am sure this person is an accomplished academic, they hold some kind of important title. interestingly, minho’s partner will be a bit younger than him, the aces in tarot are a very youthful, start-of-everything card. they have a lot of interest in technology, online business, social networking, writing, languages in general. this is a well-spoken type, sharp wit ahead. it could be a popular instagrammer or youtuber. they know to express themselves clearly. minho will appreciate their honesty and authentic character, their ability to talk about difficult topics and intellectual debates. they might be from a mountainous region. a hand is very prominently depicted on the ACE OF SWORDS which leads me to think that this is their signature body part and charm point. they could have prominent bone structure, sharp looks. their zodiac sign could be libra, gemini, aquarius.

♡ taemin: KING OF WANDS

as we know… wowza, this is a very powerful archetype with a lot of fiery energy coming with it. taemin’s partner will certainly be the boss at home. a very assertive lover who knows what they want in relationships, no doormat in sight here. they carry themselves with seasoned authority. you’ll be able to see it from a mile away. they love to wear red, dress boldly, they’re tall, too. like in onew’s case, taemin’s partner will be older than him. taemin will be wowed by their temper and majestic behavior. the KING OF WANDS never minces words and proudly lets other people know what s/he can do. i can see their region of origin as similar to key’s actually, it’s a hotter country below the equator, very dry kind of landscapes. the salamander is a prominent animal on the card, it could be their pet. the spiritual meaning of the salamander is resilience, this is taemin’s partner in a nutshell. their zodiac sign could be aries, leo, sagittarius.

♡ onew: THE HERMIT

now this could be a sign that onew will stay single for a bit longer than the other members, or it tells us that his partner is the reclusive and cozy kind. i believe the latter is the case. onew’s partner is on a serious spiritual journey right now. it’s the kind of person who does a lot of soul searching and pondering. they don’t speak a lot but they’re actually very, very smart. since the hermit is sort of the grandpa in the tarot lmao… it’ll be somebody older than him. significantly so, or the person comes across as wise so you’d think they’re older. it’s somebody from a colder country, there’s snow visible on the card. that same quality applies to their personality, this is not someone with heated emotions like key’s or taemin’s lovers. they are calm, cool, collected. not laid-back, just subdued. their zodiac sign could be virgo, this is traditionally associated with the hermit.

♡ key: KNIGHT OF WANDS

kibum is meeting someone on eye-level here. somebody wild and free and flamboyant. yes, they love to dress up, too. mark your calendar for halloween. they can pretty much share a wardrobe and will dominate red carpets and the first row at catwalks worldwide. fashion, baby! his partner will be younger or of the same age. you can see the three pyramids or gizeh on the card so you will find a connection to egypt in their origin, or the middle east in general. this is a person who has a hobbyhorse — literally, the card shows a prancing horse — that revolves around vehicles. i’m not kidding. key’s partner has a flashy sports car, you bet your lightstick. they will be living life like a roadmovie; it’s someone key will enthusiastically travel a lot with, they’re always on the move as a pair. their zodiac sign could be aries, leo, sagittarius.

👼 ORACLE CARD BONUS ➝ i also pulled angel cards to potentially get a message from jonghyun. i asked what he wants to tell them for their future partnerships. 

to minho: “you deserve the best! reach for the stars with your dreams and wishes and don’t compromise anything.”

to taemin: “you have the gift to work with young people. your purpose involves helping kids, to teach them or to raise them.”

to onew: “there will be a positive change among your relatives/partnerships. there might be an addition to your family.”

to key: “you will receive the money that you require. it’s up to a higher power. keep the faith.”

Jungwon's Career Energy Reading

Okay, excited to get to my ULT here and see what is happening with him for his career. I always feel he is eager to talk, so let's see what he can share.

Looking at the Water card and The Fool card, aww sweetie are you being very emotional at the moment, has he been crying? He seems to be in an emotional place regarding his career at the moment and he could be crying a lot to be honest. Now, he may need to be careful in this energy, because this card along with the KOS's energy, he can be pretty cruel and mean with his words at the moment, or he lashes out instead of dealing with his emotions. He lashes out with harsh words instead.

I believe he is feeling extremely sensitive at the moment. This Fool card is giving me he may even show himself crying, which I hope doesn't happen, but like I see the mask being pulled away and tears going down, or he may not be able to hide his tears behind the strong exterior he often likes to show. Aww, this is kind of sad. Although, there is nothing wrong with crying. I feel fans freak out when idols cry and I see him not wanting fans to feel sorry or worry for him, so he may do this behind the scenes.

Now, with this Monk card, he seems to be pretty focused on himself on his own journey, searching for what he truly desires and needs. I see him trying to connect with himself and maybe grow on a personal level or even spiritual level. He may be connecting with spirituality right now, since the Water card also indicates connecting with one's spirituality. That would be cool if he is doing this. Now, with this King of Swords energy I mentioned, this is his energy. He is very smart and wise. He is someone who has a lot of information and has a lot of ideas about things.

He can also be a bit stubborn, a bit overly logical about things, or always tries to rationalize things that maybe he shouldn't. I see this boy having a lot to say to be honest, a bit of a smart ass, to be honest. There could be a cockiness or confidence to him that he has about the things he knows. I just think back to his idol reading and how they try to make him small, because this boy may be the type to criticize and say things about what they do. I feel I have this sense in past readings of him, this was before I posted his readings where he may question what they do or think he can do things better. He may express this to them as well. Because KOS's energy isn't afraid to speak their mind about things. They are pretty confident about their values and opinions.

Yeah, boy is about that money. He wants to hold tight to his success and the financial gain he can get from it. He can be pretty stingy when it comes to his career and money. This boy would do anything to maintain the position and career he has. I am so freaking confused about the 10 of Cups being here, this is something about family and with the 7 of Swords, is he keeping things from family? I also see things with him hiding or taking information, also he likes to have the upper hand, which is why he keeps this information, boy is sneaky af. But what does this have to do with family. Jungwon I got no time for these riddles you give me lol I swear he always gives me hints to things but doesn't flat out share it. I believe it is for my protection, so I get it. It is always about hiding information with him, or him gathering it.

He seems to do it for his security and his ability to stand on his own. Omg the message that I am getting ya'll this is wild. I am kind of getting he hides how much money he actually makes from family, like I feel these idols have to pay money to their parents as they owe them or some sh** and he is like nah, that is for me lol I can't believe where that took me. I could be making this sh** up but that is what I am getting from him. That is kind of funny. He is giving me I love ya'll, but I don't owe you sh**.

I can also see the 10 of Cups being the members to as he sees them as family, so this could apply to them as well, but mainly his real family I am getting there. Financial security is also very important to him. Like that would be what his happy ending is. He may also do that for his future family he may have. Honestly this goes along with what I read about the mentality of Koreans from that vlogger, so this aligns with it. But if one day Jungwon spills all of HYBE''s tea, I am here for it.

Now, he has the Soul Contracts card, no clue wtf this means for him, but basically it says he was spiritually contracted to go through this experience for his soul growth, nothing too wild there. Not sure why and how this helps him, but that is what that card means and with the Butterfly spirit, it may be to help him out of his cocoon. To help him flourish and grow as a person. I feel this can all help him level up somehow. There seems to be a transformative energy surrounding him. I just see him leveling up as an individual and his career can help him build on that.

I always enjoy reading for this boy and this time was no different. He always takes me on a journey, and he is very easy to read with the exceptions of his riddles, but I understand why he does that.
