THIS IS MY FIRST ASTRO OBSERVATIONS POST SO TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT LMAO💋💜( I am not an astrologer) :

Venus in the 6th house adore animals, they might be also a bit of a freak about health.

I’m not 100% positive of this but I can tell Neptune in 6th house natives suffer from compulsive disorder about health, on a daily level. I know a person that has this placement, and they overthink about every detail they about to do. 💔

Mars in the 8th house or in Aries OR in Aries degrees tend to have anger issues, they have a hard time dealing with anger when things don’t go the way they want.

Jupiter in the second house have huge appetite, they are obsessed with food and love to try new dishes, even if they are thin.

Moon in the 3th house think with their heart more than their mind. they take everything to the heart, sadly they get offended easily. they are attached to their siblings🥺💜 they also overthink about every little thing. 😭🤷🏻‍♀️

Venus in the 8th house get males attention easily,kind of giving the vibes of “the most attractive and mysterious in the room”(do u guys want me to do a post about Venus in the houses? )

Taurus in the 9th house is a super lucky placement for the areas the house rules , people with this placement are nerds, they get good marks, they lowkey love studying, they travel all over the world , they-

I saw a post the other day and it was about how weird Virgo risings smile in pictures and it’s TRUE 😭😭 they tend to awkwardly smile while staring when you get them a picture🙂🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m sorry but obviously Virgo Venus, Capricorn Venus, libra Venus are the hardest to impress, but when they fall in love, they fall HARD. 🥺❤️ am I right?

As someone who has the Saturn in 11th house.... I have nothing to say but it’s never fair. 🤦🏽‍♀️ like no matter how nice I am I get misunderstood and everyone being rude for no reasonnn??? Such a unfairness placement. 😢💔💔

The intimidating energy lilith in first house gives 😫🖤.

mars In Leo could be the funniest to be around , but don’t try to disrespect them in front of anyone, their mood could switch in a second and get back at you right away 😟🤣also with Scorpio mars, they are not the type to shut down when stuff like these accrue to them🤪🔒.

Neptune in the 6th house makes the native think like “what if - what if “ a lot in a DAILY routine lmao. Sorry I know not funny.

Venus in 10th house are ATTRACTIVEEEE they have a lot of admirers, also a stellium in such a house with positive aspects surely indicates the same thing. Could be also in 5th house. LIT 🔥.

Venus in 1st house gets people to like them for their mesmerizing beauty, innocent like beauty,the vibes they give in fIrst impressions are ADORABLE 🥺I’m not sure but they could use that to get away with things. 🤣😭💗

Are Pluto in the 5th house the obsessive one or the ones who attract obsessive people? 🤷🏻‍♀️(I know the answer lmaoo)

Mars in the 9th house have passion for travel, they are so strict in religious matters, they could find what makes them happy in what the 9th house representatives areas

Moon in the 11th house is such a cute placement , I wish I have it 🥺.

Let’s just agree that moon in libra is such a infinite beauty indicator? Madison beer has it, should I mentions more? justin Bieber , and ME. srsly every libra moon I met have some type of beauty in them wether it’s physically or in the heart, even both! I mean after all their heart is ruled by Venus 😩🍭💗.

Well this is a quick random one, I wrote this in less than 10 minutes cause I’m bored lol so 🤣💜(comment for paid chart readings 💕$)

Harlequin Prince

Part of: Steve Deserves Good Parents, Actually Debbie and Fester Addams One | Two Rick and Evelyn O'Connell One Harley Quinn One (you're here!) 10th Doctor and Rose (on the way! might take a little, I have plans for this one) Scooby Gang (there are also plans for this one lmao, so plz be patient with me orz)

I'm a simple woman who believes Steve deserves to be a little unhinged sometimes, and having Harley Quinn as a mother is the perfect excuse to make that happen lol

Anyway, I know I haven't updated some of my other series in a hot minute; I've just been busy with work and a little sick ngl

If you'd like to be tagged for any new parts in this series, let me know!

And, as always, if you see any typos, no you didn't ;)

-------

Steve's earliest memory is of being tucked into bed with a Batman night light plugged into the wall and his mother squeezed in next to him. She's wearing her softest pajamas, and Steve idly rubs the fabric under his thumb. In her lap is a huge book that she flips through, humming "Pop Goes the Weasel" under her breath before finally stopping on a page. "Okay, Dumplin', let's read about Narcissistic Personality Disorder," she finally says, wiggling some to get comfortable before clearing her throat.

Her voice is soft and a little nasally, and Steve obediently closes his eyes when she starts reading. After a few minutes, she gently cards her fingers through his hair, her palm warm as it slides over his scalp. Eventually, he drifts off, his dream so vivid that he still remembers the oversized hammers with their white doctor coats and floating clipboards.

The first time Steve's mother is sent (back) to Arkham, he doesn't realize anything is wrong until Uncle Bruce picks him up from school. Steve had been waiting long after the other kids were picked up by their parents, a misshapen pink-and-blue coaster for his mother that he made in art class in his hands, when one of Uncle Bruce's fancy cars pulled up to the school.

The passenger window rolled down, and Bruce looked almost pained as he met Steve's eyes. "Hop in," he said, leaning over to open the door from the inside.

Steve walked up to the door but didn't get in. "Mom said I should only go home with her," he said, "unless you know our secret code."

"Cognitive Behavioral Therapy."

Steve stood for a moment longer before nodding and climbing into the passenger seat. He closed the door, pulled on his seat belt, and carefully held the coaster in his lap. "Where's Mom?" he asked, watching as Bruce turned down the radio and slowly pulled away from the school.

"Your mother is....going to be away for a while," Bruce said, gripping the steering wheel tighter. "She did something bad, and now she's going to stay in time out because of it."

"Mom says you shouldn't dumb things down just because I'm young. She says it's not good for my development."

Bruce got a slight smile at that, his lips twitching up as he glanced at Steve. "Is that so," he said, his grip on the wheel loosening some. He seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Your mother blew up a warehouse. She was apprehended by Batman and has been sent to Arkham for a few months. Since I'm listed as your godfather, you'll stay with me until she's released."

Steve didn't reply. He just looked down at his coaster and wondered if he'd be able to convince his Uncle Bruce to visit Arkham so he could give it to her.

He did not, in fact, get to visit her at Arkham during that stint. But Steve did get to visit on her next one, which was almost three years later to the day. Steve's first visit to Arkham was on his 8th birthday, and he was chaperoned by Uncle Bruce and Nightwing (he wasn't allowed to call Dick by his real name when he was in costume, so Steve just didn't call him anything at all).

That was also the first time Steve truly experienced Arkham's lax security. Through no fault of his own (and he would continue to argue this point; how did two superheroes let an 8 year old wander off?), Steve had somehow ended up in another part of Arkham altogether.

This hallway had large cells with reinforced glass walls that allowed Steve to look inside. He could name most of the people he passed, recognizing Killer Croc and Riddler and the Penguin by his mother's descriptions of their defining features. Most of them tried talking to Steve, but he pushed ahead, eager to see if his mother was at the end of the hall.

She wasn't. Instead, Steve found another woman. She had green skin and bright red hair and Steve hadn't been able to contain himself. He'd practically squished his face against the glass and asked, "Are you Poison Ivy?"

"Oh, her he talks to," the Penguin said, his tone mean and his voice carrying.

Poison Ivy ignored him, choosing to instead open one eye from where she lay on the bed. She stared at Steve before sitting up. "Do I know you?" she asked.

"Nope! But my mom knows you. She talks about you all the time. She said you're the baddest badass to ever badass," Steve said.

"Oh. You're Harley's kid," Poison Ivy replied, walking over to the glass and crouching down to meet his gaze. "What are you doing all the way over here?"

"It's my birthday, so Uncle Bruce said I could see Mom."

"Well, happy birthday. Now, what are you doing here?"

Steve blinked, looked around the hall again, and realized for the first time that he was, in fact, a bit lost. "Uh, I'm not sure. I was with Uncle Bruce before."

A moment passed between the two of them in which Poison Ivy said nothing while Steve tried to remember how, exactly, he'd ended up here. When he came up blank, he simply shrugged and looked back at her. "Hey, you like plants, right?" he asked.

"Yeah, kid, I like plants," she said, her tone taking on the same inflection his mother's did when he asked something she thinks is obvious.

Steve didn't linger on the tone. Instead, he dug around in his coat pocket for a few seconds, pushing past candy wrappers and erasers until his hand closed around an acorn he'd picked up off the ground a few days ago. He pulled it out and presented it to Poison Ivy on his palm. "Is it still a plant if it fell off the tree?" he asked.

"Yeah," Poison Ivy said, her voice soft like she was staring at something unbelievable. Steve watched as a huge grin spread across her face, her eyes lit up, and she pressed her hands to the glass. "Can you do me a favor, Steve?" she asked.

"Sure! Mom said you're a person I should listen to," he said, starting to close his fingers around the acorn. Now that he was thinking about it, he didn't actually know how to give the acorn to her with the glass between them.

"Your mom is right. You should always listen to me. And her. But mostly me right now," Poison Ivy said, her gaze a bit softer as she looked at Steve. "So, go ahead and put the acorn on the ground and stand as far away as possible."

Steve didn't question her. Whatever Poison Ivy wanted to do would probably be fine. After all, Uncle Bruce didn't warn him about talking to her like he had about the Joker. So, Steve put the acorn down and hurried to the other end of the hall. "Now what?" he shouted.

The only response he got was the acorn shuddering, spinning across the floor, and then bursting open. In the blink of an eye, a tree grew, its roots breaking through the ground and its branches shattering the glass of Poison Ivy's cell. Steve was just thinking that was probably why Poison Ivy told him to stand back when she walked out, rolling her shoulders and breathing like the air is fresh.

She looked at Steve and walked over, standing in front of him for a moment before sweeping him into her arms. "Thanks, kid," she said, opening her hand and letting a tiny purple flower grow from her palm. She tucked it behind Steve's ear. "Now, let's go find your mom."

Of course, Poison Ivy's escape had set off numerous alarms, and Uncle Bruce just about fainted when he saw her carrying Steve while Nightwing looked two seconds from laughing. But Steve's mom had smiled so wide that her cheeks must have hurt after only two seconds when she saw them.

It was, by far, the best birthday Steve had ever had.

‐-----------------------------

Hawkins, Indiana, is...boring. Steve has only been in the town for a few weeks, and he's bored out of his mind. He could have been sent to Metropolis or Central City. Hell, he would have preferred Bludhaven to the absolute snoozefest that is Hawkins. But, no, Uncle Bruce insisted on somewhere safe, which means somewhere boring, which means...Steve will just have to make his own fun.

That's why he's found himself in a dive bar on the edge of town, sitting at the bar as the owner (a woman named Bev who definitely killed her husband; Steve would know, he's met plenty of women who definitely killed their husbands) refuses to give him anything alcoholic. "Listen, kid," she says, her tone hard and unyielding, "I can give you water, a Shirley Temple, or a permanent ban. Which do you prefer."

After a few seconds, Steve sighs, slaps way more money than is necessary on the bar, and says, "Gimme a Shirley Temple."

Bev nods, swipes up the cash, and starts making his drink. He watches her with a slight frown before looking away, noticing another boy his age wiping down a table. He looks, and Steve cannot say this affectionately enough, like a wannabe goon for a motorcycle gang. Between the bandana stuffed into his back pocket, his slightly frizzy hair falling to his shoulders, and the leather jacket/vest combo, the guy is the first reminder of home Steve has seen since arriving in this sleepy town.

When he notices the guy's shoulders tense, Steve looks away to keep from being caught staring. A Shirley Temple is placed in front of him, and Steve represses a sigh, missing the sounds of fights happening behind him as he drinks with Jason.

"Aren't you a little young to be hanging around here?"

Steve slowly takes a sip of his drink, the saccharine cherry flavor washing over his tastebuds, and glances at an older man a few seats down from him. He looks the man over, lingering on the half-tucked shirt, muddy loafers, and circles under his eyes. Without permission, his mother's DSM-V rushes through his mind, a blur of his mother's voice accompanying the page flips. They finally settle on "Adjustment Disorder," accompanied by his mom saying, "Sometimes, that's just a fancy term for a mid-life crisis, Dumplin'."

Without thinking, Steve asks in return, "Aren't you a little old to still be going through a mid-life crisis?"

In Gotham, that might get him a laugh, an eye roll, and possibly an elbow to the ribs from whichever friend accompanied him. Here, it gets him a tense silence that he only thought happened in bad movies gearing up for a fight sequence. Seriously, what is wrong with Hawkins?

"I'll give you one chance to apologize," the guy says, clearly thinking he's being sufficiently threatening.

It takes every ounce of Steve's self-control to keep from laughing at the guy. Does that usually work? Do people usually find this guy threatening? He's got nothing on Alfred, so Steve just can't bring himself to even fake intimidation.

"Yeah, don't hold your breath, man," Steve says, rolling his eyes as he takes another sip. The Shirley Temple isn't bad, but it's not what he was expecting, and it feels like just another disappointment atop a pile of them.

They're building in his chest, now that he thinks about it. Steve is slowly suffocating under the weight of them. They buzz in his lungs, surging through him until the energy is so overwhelming that he has to bounce his leg and tap his finger against his glass to expel some of it. He shouldn't have agreed to leave Gotham, or at the very least, he shouldn't have left the location entirely up to Bruce. Holy shit, that was a dumb decision. He ought to know better.

A sudden, annoyingly harsh drag of chair legs against the floor rings in Steve's ears, making his shoulders tense and his fingers twitch. He looks over to see the guy standing over him, glaring down at Steve like that's supposed to scare him when nothing else has.

Steve sighs, drinking the last of his Shirley Temple before standing. Over the guy's shoulder, he can see the boy his age watching them, and...well, Steve kind of wants to make a good impression on the first person to remind him of home. Plus, a fight sounds great. He'd love a chance to expel some of this disappointment-fueled energy.

The guy suddenly snorts, pulling Steve's attention back. "You're young, kid, so I'll let you off the hook this time around, but learn some respect."

What? Seriously? All of that, and the guy doesn't even start a fight? Does he know how rude that is? He'd get killed in Gotham. "Oh," Steve says, his voice flat, "you're scared of getting your ass kicked."

Somehow, that's what the guy considers the final straw. It wasn't even that good. Like, that's just fucking small talk in Gotham, and Steve can't bring himself to understand what about it was so infuriating that the guy swings his fist.

Either way, Steve happily embraces the fight. His eyes light up, and adrenaline rushes through his veins as he ducks and kicks the guy's left knee. The familiar sound of a bone snapping rings out. Steve's ready for more, hands curled into fists and held up to protect his face, when the guy drops.

After one kick, he drops. Steve blinks, staring down at the guy cursing and holding his knee. He slowly lowers his hands when he realizes this isn't some kind of fake-out diversion and looks at Bev behind the counter. She's frowning at him, hands on her hips, and Steve comes to the conclusion that bar fights are not, in fact, a thing in Hawkins. "Do they usually go down so easy around here?" he asks.

"They usually don't fight at all."

Oh. Holy shit, this place is boring.

Steve sighs and pushes some hair out of his face, frowning slightly. "Well, uh, sorry about the disturbance, then. I'll just...get going," he says, awkwardly pushing his chair in and doing the same for the guy whose kneecap he kicked. Nobody says anything as he leaves, and Steve shoves his hands into his jacket pockets, frustration and disappointment and homesickness building in him.

He's halfway to his car when somebody shouts, "Hey! Wait!"

With a huff, Steve stops and turns, his mood only lightening when he sees the boy that was wiping down tables. He waits patiently, watching as the boy runs up to him and holds out a wad of cash. "Bev said to give this to you," he says.

"What, is my money not good enough?" Steve asks, raising an eyebrow at the cash before looking up and meeting brown eyes.

"No, no," the boy says, "Bev only gives change to people she likes. She said you're welcome to come by and kick Phillip's ass whenever you want."

Steve blinks, studying the boy for any signs of lies. When he doesn't find one, he takes the cash and nods. "Good to know," he says.

"Yeah. Right. Um, I'm going back inside now."

"Hold on," Steve says, grinning when the boy listens and stands still. He takes a step closer, holds out his hand, and says, "My name's Steve. I'm new around here, if you couldn't tell."

The boy stares at his hand for a few seconds before taking it, the rings on his fingers pressing against Steve's skin. "Eddie. I could tell," he says, his shoulders relaxing some. "Where you from?"

"Gotham."

"Holy shit, no wonder you looked so ready for a fight," Eddie says, staring at Steve like he's incomprehensible. Steve tries not to preen under his gaze. "Hawkins must be dead compared to Gotham."

"Yeah," Steve agrees, glancing down at his and Eddie's hands still clasped together despite the handshake being over. "But I think I'll have some fun anyway."

Debunking of myths about Mental Health

Today, October 10th is an important day for all of us as it's considered as World Mental Health Day. On this occasion, I would like to create awareness as a psychologist about some myths about mental health to reduce the stigma and stereotypes around us. Even in workplace, mental health and its issues are not considered as a problem at all and still expects the affected person to work without understanding and zero compassion but would it be same if one is affected by any physical illness? The answer is NO right. 

                                - Deepika Padukone 

People talk about physical fitness, but mental health is equally important. I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn't help. One needs support and understanding.

Many people around us might understand our emotional turmoil and extend their support but if people fail to understand others, one will not open up their problems to anyone and hence shuts their self that leads to more struggles and sufferings in silence. Let's create a fostering community and be empathetic to our friends, families and spouse by lending our emotional support and being a good listener and if needed seek professional help.

One's perspective about mental health is different from physical health but both are equal and importance should be given to both. And priority of taking care of ourselves in terms of not only physical health but mental health as well. 

"SEEKING HELP IS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS"

Enjoy reading and share your comments 

I'm offering free 30 minutes consultation for all ages on this occasion. DM me on Instagram

Myth 1: Mental health problems are rare.

Fact: Mental health issues are quite common. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1 in 8 people globally live with a mental health disorder. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions are prevalent in many societies but often go unrecognized. 

 Fact: Mental illnesses are medical conditions, not a reflection of one’s character or strength. They can affect anyone, regardless of their background.

 Myth 2: Mental illness is a sign of weakness.

Fact: Therapy can benefit anyone experiencing stress, emotional challenges, or wanting personal growth. You don't need to have a severe mental illness to seek help. Therapy can also help with life transitions, relationship issues, or self-improvement. 

Myth 3: Therapy is only for people with serious mental health issues.

Myth 4: You can “snap out” of a mental illness.

Fact: Mental health conditions often require treatment, just like physical illnesses. They can't simply be willed away.

 Myth 5: Children don't experience mental health issues.

 Fact: Not only adults, Children and adolescents can also experience mental health problems. Conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD can manifest early in life. Early intervention is critical to prevent long-term consequences. 

 Myth 6: Medications are the only solution for mental health issues.

 Fact: While medications can be effective for some, many people benefit from therapy, lifestyle changes, and support systems.

 Fact: Most individuals with mental health issues are not violent. In fact, they are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators.This myth is harmful and contributes to the stigma surrounding mental health.

 Myth 7: People with mental health conditions are violent.

 Fact: Open conversations about mental health can help reduce stigma, promote understanding, and encourage individuals to seek help.

 Myth 8: Talking about mental health makes it worse.

 Fact: Mental health issues can arise from a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors, not personal failures.

 Myth 9: Mental health problems are caused by personal failure.

 Fact: Many people recover from mental health conditions or learn to manage them effectively. Recovery is a journey and can vary for each individual.

 Myth 10: Once you have a mental health condition, you’ll have it forever.

Fact: Many people think mental health illness is an option or choice and think they will not get affected by it. Mental health issues affects everyone regardless of age, culture or professions. Mental health is not a choice and taking care of it is mandatory.

Myth 11: Mental health is not a choice.

Fact: Self-care is essential for maintaining mental health. Taking time to rest, engage in hobbies, or practice mindfulness can help reduce stress and improve emotional well-being, making it a key component of mental health management.

Myth 12 : Self-care is selfish or indulgent.

Myth 13 : Therapy is only for people who can't manage their problems.

Fact: Therapy is a tool for everyone. It helps people understand and cope with their emotions, manage stress, and build resilience. Many people use therapy to learn skills for improving their mental health and quality of life, even if they aren’t in crisis.

Fact: Recovery is possible with the right treatment and support. Many people with mental health conditions lead fulfilling lives through therapy, medication, self-care, and community support. Recovery is not always linear, but improvement is achievable.

Myth 14: You can’t recover from mental illness.

Myth 15 : People with mental health disorders can’t hold down jobs.

Fact: Many individuals with mental health conditions are successful in their careers. With appropriate treatment and accommodations, they can function effectively in the workplace and lead productive lives.

Myth 16 : Mental health issues are all in your head.

Understanding the truth behind these myths can help foster a more supportive and informed community. Encouraging open dialogue and education about mental health can contribute significantly to reducing stigma and promoting well-being.

Fact: Mental health disorders often have physical manifestations, like changes in brain chemistry and function. Just like any other medical condition, mental illnesses affect both the mind and the body.

So for a record I am 21 okay? Not important but just saying. And like all of my life i felt like Im fricking weird and crazy (btw no Im not and anybody similiar to me is totally normal :) love you all)

cause, from my 10th year? Yeah i guess. 10th year of my life i started to be obsessed with hygiene. And i thought that i could be just bacteriaphobic or smth. But it never felt right cause nobody was strugling with the same things as I. (Also not saying is not valid to struggle with these just my point of view, also stay safe besties).

Like ok I am scared of bacterias but i didn’t see anybody to thinking about the same things as I. I just thought: my fears just don’t have any logic, im thinking about how by bag could or couldn’t touch that thing but cause theres some MAYBE i can’t use it now. I need to wash it. But it was just cause i couldn’t remember, or what if that one time i wasn’t watching it, it touched something gross, blah blah blah you get the point.

And like I was thinking that maybe I have ADHD and Autism at the same time cause I have so much thoughts and Im thinking all the time and sometimes i can’t stop it. And also I am feeling uneasy when people touch my things for no reason, and have some rituals (like cleaning my phone everyday etc.)

And then one day I was watching some girls video about how it is not okay that people use some words (Autism, ADHD, depression) in a way In which it should not be used. Like on normal day basis.

Then I start to read the comments, and somebody starts to talk about their expirience with OCD and Im just like… WHAT? What is that? Bro OCD is not just like some person who needs to have everything organized?

And the people that were responding to this comment, had similar expirience as me. A lots of them. They were talking how people don’t know that you can be messy and have OCD cause thats not the entire thing. You have so much more categories.

By the way for anyone that doesnt know what OCD is, Its Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, where peoples minds are terorizing their own intrusive thoughts. There are lots of categories. You think about someting, you start to worry about it and then need to respond to that with some other thing, like i need to clean my phone, somebody needs to check If their doors are locked, or need to say something three times. They are also a people that doesnt have any physical behavior that they are acting on. Its just the thoughts and thats called pure OCD.

Okay back to my story.

I was so relieved, and angry cause why did i found out now and not sooner and also like: “No. Why me? I thought that one day Im gonna just wake up and Its gonna be gone or smth.”

But like Im okay now, Im talking about a lot cause why the f not, and I am feeling a lot of better cause like yeah, Im not crazy I just have OCD and thats way more better you know?

Also finding out that other things that i was doing and they were making me crazy also are In that package was so relieving. Like wishful thinking,

Also when I went to my psychologist next time I just šat there and I told her something like: “Im not disscusing that I have OCD Ok? Im just telling you, cause I have it and I know that for sure.” And my psychologist is very sweet so she was just like:”Ok.”

Thats all. I just needed to ramble about my big life crisis okay? Love you all and also, Its okay to not know things about you. You’re not gonna know maybe even when you’re In your 80’s and thats okay. Love you all bye.

(Btw i didn’t reread that so sorry for typos)

Are either of your parents engaged but not married yet? No. My parents were married prior to having me and my sibling, but they're currently legally separated (not completely divorced). Neither one of them has any plans to re-marry in the future. They still get along for the most part, but they probably wouldn't see one another nearly as often if I wasn't in the mix. We meet up for lunch every few weeks and will see the occasional film in theaters. I also need to call my mom later to figure out where we're going to eat this Thursday.

Do you cuddle with your pet (if you have one)? Of course. Esther isn't a big fan of being held (she's very wiggly), but she will cuddle under the covers with me in bed or sit on my lap when I'm on the computer or something. Karenna is somewhere in the middle in terms of being held (doesn't always love it - doesn't always hate it); she will sit on my lap, and she likes to curl up behind my legs if I'm lying on my side or up by my chest/shoulder if I'm lying on my back. Lacy is the most okay with being held (you can basically hold her like a baby and she's very calm about it), but she's not particularly cuddly; she just likes to be close without being disturbed. She's also more bonded with my dad than with me, so she tends to sleep in his bed down by his legs.

What college did you want to attend as a kid? I didn't care. I knew it was more or less expected that I would attend, but as for a dream college, there was nothing like that. I ended up going to a local community college, but I never completed a degree.

Do you have a pet gecko? I don't.

Are you scared of reptiles? I'd be apprehensive if I had to deal with anything venomous, but in general, no. I really enjoyed taking care of all the reptiles when I worked at the pet shop.

Honestly, have you ever eaten raw cookie dough? Possibly. I know I've eaten raw brownie and banana nut bread batter - my sibling and I always used to eat the leftovers from the bowl when we were kids.

Where would you most like to go in your state, etc that you haven’t been? I don't have anywhere specific in mind, but I would love to explore the mountain backroads in CO. Maybe make it a multi-day trip. Stop for cute towns and tourist attractions, photo opportunities at scenic overlooks, picnics, great campsites…

Who was the last member of the opposite sex you laid in a bed with? I'm not sure.

About what things are you most selfish? Probably food, lmao. I can and will share, especially when there's an abundance, but there are times when I can be possessive and worried about having enough. Idk if it's an eating disorder thing or what.

Are you camera shy? Why/why not? Not really. I've just accepted that I'm going to think I look crappy in photos taken by other people. The memories matter more.

What is one small thing your significant other does that makes you happy? If you are single, what is one small thing a friend does to make you happy? This just re-re-reminded me to check my messages from Ollie, but it says "message unavailable." Huh. Anyway. One thing they do is hype me up. Recently, they were saying that I should be a social media manager for the animal shelter because I take so many photos and know the kitties so well. They already have someone (probably more than someone) who manages that sort of thing and I'm not at all tech-savvy, but their belief in my ability was uplifting. :')

From inside of your house, how many doors lead outside? Two. Then there's another door that leads to the garage.

Who was the last person to give you flowers? I received a bouquet of sunflowers at the volunteer appreciation dinner last April.

What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Worrying, overthinking, excess sugar, coffee, smoking, volunteering, YouTube…

Do you like BBQ sauce? I do.

How many subscribers do you have on your YouTube channel? Zero. I only use it for watching videos; I don't create content or leave any comments.

If you could have a car in any color you wanted, which color? I'm fine with the car I have (it's red).

What is your favorite Avril Lavigne song? I don't have a favorite.

What was the last thing you were mad at a doctor about? That's not a story I want to get into.

Is your mother a lesbian? I don't think so…

Do any of your close friends NOT have a Facebook account? I don't know whether Ollie has one or not. I haven't been active there for about a decade now, so it's not something I tend to think about.

Would you ever consider getting dreadlocks? No.

When was the last time you swam in a pool? Not since I was a teenager.

What was the last thing you said out loud? Probably something to one of my cats.

Have you ever wanted to be a nurse? No.

Who or what do you worship? I don't really worship anything - not even God. I do believe in God (for lack of a better way to put it), but my connection isn't like that. In fact, sometimes I can get downright pissy. Just the other day, I was like, "Hey God, what the actual fvck is up with this shit?!" I know I'll eventually turn the situation into some sort of lesson or learning experience, but will it ever make divine sense? Who knows.

What was the last song you listened to on repeat? I don't know about a single song, but the last album I listened to on repeat was Precession by Fifty Dollar Dynasty.

What song do you want played at your wedding? There isn't one. If it was up to me, I'd just do without it.

What are three of the most painful things you have ever stepped on? Just stuff like hot asphalt/cement and rocks. I also stepped on a bee as a child. I was running through the park while wearing sandals, and a bee somehow managed to get between my foot and my sandal and it stung the underside of my toe. It wasn't especially painful, though.

If applicable, what song are you listening to right now? I'm not listening to anything.

If you could choose three US states to visit, which three states would you pick? Let's go with national parks instead because they would be my main reason for visiting a particular state: the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Glacier NP.

Have you ever donated blood? No.

Would you rather attend a yoga class or a Zumba class? Zumba sounds fun.

Have you written anything down today? No.

Do you own a pair of pink pants? I have some old pink sweats/track pants.

Do you normally eat healthy? I'm nowhere near a health fanatic, but I don't have the worst diet in the world either. I eat a lot of generally healthy foods, but I also eat plenty of treats/junk foods.

What is the best compliment you’ve ever received? I'm not sure… The people who say the nicest things are my dad, my therapist, and Ollie, but you know that tendency to doubt the people closest to you because they "have to" say nice things or they're just biased or whatever? Well…it's like that.

Do you believe in miracles? Maybe not miracles. Maybe not some sort of divine intervention. But highly unlikely, amazing, fortuitous events that seem to come out of the blue or snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? Sure.

What are three ways in which you are not normal? Hmm. I volunteer full time instead of applying for an actual job/paycheck (I have my reasons). I drink a loooot of water (thirstiest person alive, literally, I swear). I don't like road trips (aside from the hypothetical scenario I talked about above).

Which genre of music do you listen to the most? Classical. Then whatever's on the radio at the shelter. Usually pop, classic rock/rock, and occasionally country.

Last person you kissed, are they into any type of sports? Which ones? No.

Does your best friend have a job? Yes.

Do you ever visit people at work? Like outside of work? As friends instead of merely coworkers? No. However, Libby left recently and now works at a bakery in town, so I am planning on going there soon to get some treats and say hello. :')

When you move out your house (or if you already have moved out) do you plan on still visiting your parents’ house? Of course.

Do you usually take home leftovers if you eat out in a restaurant? I often do. Exceptions would be when I feel like there's not enough to bother or if I just genuinely don't think I will eat the rest of it.

Have you ever ghost rode the whip (put your car on auto and dance next to it as it’s moving)? Do you want to? No.

What do you think of long-term relationships? I don't even know what to say to this, lmao. It's such a strange question. Like yes, I would like to have a long-term, solid, healthy connection with someone…?

Do you have a lot of social media accounts? Do you update them all regularly? Just a few. I update this account and my IG fairly regularly.

When you’re in trouble, do your parents ever “middle name” you? No.

When was the last time you got a new tattoo or piercing? Do you have any plans to get either in the future? It's been years.

Are you patriotic at all? Why/why not? I think this survey was combined with another that I took recently, so I'm just gonna breeze through the questions I've already answered.

Are you any good at packing a suitcase? I guess...? It's not hard...?

Have you ever had a white hot chocolate? What did you think? I haven't, but I would be interested in trying one.

Do you ever get eczema? No.

Have you ever mowed a lawn? Yeah.

Is there anyone you would do literally anything for? No. But figuratively, I would do anything for my dad and my cats.

Have you ever done a “knock-and-run” prank? A few times as a kid.

Have you ever stabbed a friend in the back, intentionally or not? I don't want to go into detail, but you could say that. It wasn't malicious - like my intention wasn't to hurt or betray them - but it was pretty selfish.

What’s the longest you’ve ever slept in one go? Without waking up whatsoever? I'm not sure.

Have you ever dated someone with an accent different than yours? Not really.

Have you ever worked two jobs at once? No.

What was the last thing you took a video of? I'm not sure.

What are some of your least favorite foods? I'm not a huge fan of most seafood. I'll eat some battered and fried stuff, but that's about it. I'm also not a fan of seaweed. I've tried to like it, but I just…can't.

[candle-wax-and-polariods]

i saw this on my dash and i wasnt gonna say anything and have self control but this is the probably 10th (no joke) post like these ive seen in under 30 minutes.

1) By no means am I defending how she dated Matty Healy at all because I'm not POC so it's not my place to, that being said she is aloud to be upset that her fandom made a petition for them and took it to the point of wanting her under a conservatorship, that is completely valid as that's a personal choice, not a strangers (or a fanbase) should even dabble in wanting. and no I am not lying about either of those things I've seen screenshots of both with my own two eyes. I think that's what she was upset about

2) we do not know her mental health, we know part of it. We know she has trauma because some of it happened VERY publicly, we know she's struggled with eating she's addressed it multiple times. We do not know if she suffers from a disorder that comes with mania or hypomania so it's not your or anyone's place to say she's lying about it (which feels to me what you're trying to indirectly say). and before you use the very sane quote that was 2012 is my maths correct she was 21-23 there. She is 34 now and things change between your 20s and 30s and to our knowledge she didnt start to grasp how her celebrity affected her as a person until around 28 (so 6ish years ago, not 12ish)

3) about Joe's depression we know that as of the 2021 Grammy’s, he was one of the first people who heard every song she wrote. if he was uncomfortable about it, it was on him to articulate to her and at that point, I think shed take out the lyric or not put the song out, and then not do it again because I believe that while shes humanly flawed (like we all are) she has morals to respect boundaries set by a romantic partner

Your post makes some very good points however to me it looks like there are knowledge gaps and and that you're not putting aside your thoughts and opinions, and going strictly on knowledge and morals which discredits what you are saying, and my post 100% has the same things I'm saying I'm a swiftie blog, and I have knowledge gaps however only looking from one perspective doesn't get you anywhere and that's what looks like is happening here (to me, that is how I am seeing it)

This is long but I wanted to get my thoughts out there

I'm sorry but Taylor Swift literally writing a song about having a tantrum because her fans called her out for dating Matty Healy.

Her fans go, "Yes, queen, no one can tell you what to do!"

Her POC fans were allowed to be upset that someone they have monetarily supported dates a known racist who said he enjoyed watching corn of black women being brutalised. And even if it was a joke--- no, stop, hear yourself, it's not fucking funny.

She also keeps cosplaying mania and mental breaks. Babe, having a breakdown is not an excuse for dating a known racist like jfc.

On another note, she keeps referencing and alluding to Joe Alwyn having depression. She's done it on multiple albums. It's not her place to out his mental health issues.

It sucks because I genuinely enjoy so much of her music, but she's so damn problematic.

[silktherambler]

Okay so I just started making this song, it's called the second, the runner up in parentheses

It's basically about like when you aren't the one for the person that you're with, but it's not like y'all are like not a good fit, it's just that everybody has the one and you're not the one for this person, like you're maybe like the second or the third or the 4th

I said I made it for people who have been in that position right to be the second to be the fifth, to be the 10th, but really the song right now is based on my emotions for the person that I am currently seeing and entertaining I guess I would say. A lot of times like like I just start to feel kind of insecure, In this very moment I realize maybe this is the feeling that a lot of people felt with me? But, every time I'm with him I just start to think about what I could be doing better and how I could up myself a bit more, and in different ways I could do that.

Like I don't I wouldn't even word it like I don't feel good enough for this person but like I don't know wow I'm going to feel like a hypocrite for saying this but, I don't know if I'm good enough to be anybody's girlfriend anymore. I say that I'm a hypocrite because I kind of came at the last man that I was talking to for that, like I was trying to talk to him about us potentially like being together officially cuz we were rocking for about like 7 months on and off but I mean well to be honest in total it was more like 14 months really but yeah.

And I would ask him a lot of the time like if you see himself being with me, and his reply to that, most of the time was that he just didn't see himself as like being a boyfriend because nobody else saw him as boyfriend material. For me right now, I feel like the people that have had me as a girlfriend feel like I'm not as adequate, and I really have to look back on that and determine if that's true or not. This is more of a question of like quantity instead of quality in a way. Like how many ex's really had problems with me? I can't say a lot, I can say everybody you know had their difficulties but I guess I'm thinking about like since I've turned into an adult

Which is a different ball game cuz that's different from me dating in like high school or if I did date in college which I didn't really do, I was getting courted and I was entertaining different things but I didn't date anybody I didn't have any boyfriend in college. Now that I'm like an adult, I've had about 3 to 4 yeah I think 4 different romantic situations and they have not been great and I think that's also what I'm really basing it off, cuz I'm not looking at the whole of my partners I'm looking at like the most recent ones because its most connected to the age I'm at

So we have D, and that didn't really go great and by the end of it he told me that like we wasn't really boyfriend and girlfriends which I knew at the beginning but I didn't know it was still like that and it's not in a way to say I wasn't listening or I tried to like create a narrative in my head, he often had me come around, I met his grandma, I ended up meeting his father, I met his coworkers and I was paraded around like a girlfriend a lot so I was under the impression that even though we wasn't going to be like all the way serious, I was still like the main partner in a way and then last minute he turned around and was like we wasn't really dating for real and I think he just said that cuz he was hurt about us breaking up

And then you have jj, and he was terrible honestly like, he was a very controlling partner, and he has some kind of mood/ behavioral disorder that he should get checked out and that's the nicest I can say about that situation. We had our ups but we had a lot more downs

Next is Royale. We going to call him Royale for now. He seemed pretty nice and he's a chill person like he's a cool person to be around but it's like the way that his mentality is and sometimes like the way that he thinks about things or the things that he finds funny like they I wouldn't say that they're disturbing, it's just not my cup of tea personally. I also like, looking at his family dynamic, I don't feel like that's a complete safe place for me to be, but Royale is the one who didn't feel like he was like good boyfriend material and maybe the reason why especially him and JJ would feel like that is because I seemed like such a nice girl

What I'm saying is, cuz the person I'm entertaining now, let's call him rhino. He's a very nice guy, he's very sweet and he's very compassionate/ considerate. He tries to think of others but he does think of himself and he does have his own level of insecurities but he does still try, In many different areas. He's handsome, and he is smart, and has a lot of aspirations for himself. He is pleasant to talk to, he is stubborn and he doesn't like asking for help often nor will accept help often, but he tries to be a fair man. And he tries to make sure that I'm comfortable to the best degree that he can. And a lot of times I think that he is just chilling about certain things but he actually cares a lot and that it makes me feel good but it scares me

I don't want to repeat either side of the cycle I've been in where either I'm getting pushed away because the person doesn't feel good enough to be around me or with me or I'm pushing that person away and I've been in the cycle like I've been on the side of getting pushed away so often that I really don't want to be the person pushing away because I know how it feels like to like somebody just as much as they like you, and like. Okay like, sometimes I guess like for the person who is really starting to like like you and they're pushing away they like feel like they like you more than you like them but most times more often than not the feeling really is mutual, and I can say that as a person that was consistently on the other side of it. I feel bad or more so I felt bad that my partners in the past didn't feel like I was a like as attracted to them maybe because of like my behavior or how I would just come off very aloof but like I mean half the time I was just trying to be chill because sometimes I'll be ready to tweak out for no reason so I try and put the extra chill in there and then maybe sometimes that also results in my partner's feeling like I don't really need them around. They don't feel not wanted but they don't feel needed, which isn't completely a problem, but like you do have to understand your partner and dynamic and stuff

The world mental well-being day celebrated concerning October 10th of any year is focused upon provide the promotion, consciousness and education upon mental health.

employee wellbeing

Your working of a mind is strange and the most useful unpredictable. It is not people's fault to have brain illness. Anybody can be prone to the risk from mental illness. A mental illness takes on many documents like depressions, horrors, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and several others. Even if these ailments might sound surreal they cannot become neglected or wished-for away. It is often typical for people to blunder occasional mood golf shots for mental health problems but should be considered like severe illness whenever they interfere with normal everyday life.

Some astro related life lessons I have learned:

Karma is real. I dont know how karma works but it does work. Karma shows rewards through money, material fulfillment, education, career, relationships, marriage. People with success, fame, power, status, money are reaping fruits of their karma. Conversely, bad karma shows as misfortune, ill health, bad character, failure in life, poverty.

Your karma does not end with you. Your children, their children are also impacted by your actions. If you do fair actions, your future generations will have decent destiny. If you do fucked up actions, your future generations will face the consequences too.

Reading your birth chart is crucial to adjust your expectations from life. For eg, 8th house moon should not expect emotional connection and bonding with mom. 12th house sun should not expect available father. There is no point in having impossible expectations when they are not meant to be fulfilled.

"Pseudoscience" does not make any sense. I have experienced synchronicity, premonition, psychic future telling, tarot predictions, astrology making sense to me. These are called pseudoscience but I call them mysticism. They are as real as my existence. I cannot prove them in a lab but they are valid and valuable to me.

Look where your major placements are and what your life theme has been. My most planets are in 7th and 8th house, and my life has indeed been about romantic relationships, occult, psychology, other people. My dad has major planets in 10th and 11th house, and his life has indeed been about career, money, work, outdoors.

Do not be too influenced by media. I think that media is projection of active imagination + profession. It is a mode of escapism from reality. So many of us are happy to invest money in media to escape our realities. This is the power of mind, imagination and feelings.

Astro helps you identify your personality qualities too. I am 8th house and water dominant, and I am indeed emotionally intense, obsessive, strongly emotional and sensitive. I am sensitive to words and get easily hurt. Since I know this, I create measures to shield myself.

Learn to identify psychology patterns and have confidence in what you see. People will gaslight you "you cannot tell how they are feeling, you are making things up, people are unpredictable". No they are not. People and personalities work on a pattern and you can identify it once you deeply understand yourself. Have confidence in your psychoanalysis abilities. I used to be very wrong about people earlier but now that I have started to understand myself, I can also understand other people and their psychology better. I would also suggest to read on personality disorders. That will really enrich your understanding of emotions, behaviour, reactions people follow.

Do not change yourself if you meet bad people. I personally believe that humans are innately bad people. They are selfish, manipulative, jungle animals. Some people have active badness, some have badness in their shadows as repressed qualities. I do not believe that "all humans are good and just make mistakes because of brain complexity". I believe that people choose to be good people: because they fear consequences of their actions or it makes them feel good about themselves or it is their active personality traits or it is the law and order or the civilization and social manners or it is religion and fear of God or desire for good rebirth. If there were no such constraints, humans would be law of jungle. It is hard work to be a good person. It is much easier to surrender to impulses, commit wrong things, harm others, speak lies.

How Avatar advanced CGI and harmful representation

What made Avatar (2009) so successful that it held the record of highest-grossing film for nearly a decade after its release? Director James Cameron explains," 'Avatar' is about finding our home, finding our family, finding our clan. And fighting to protect that which we found and earn our place in it. That turns  out to be a more critical part of it than people realize," says Cameron. 'That's why it spoke to every culture in the world and shot to No. 1 in every market. It  was dealing with a universal truth of the human condition that transcended  culture.'" (Alexander) 

Beyond the story, Avatar featured an unprecedented display of special effects. Specifically, motion capture and CGI were used to bring the Na'vi people to life. These groundbreaking advancements in CGI  paved the way for modern superhero films to incorporate fight scenes with  CGI. In addition, Avatar spurred audience interest in movies in 3-D or IMAX. This is thought to be due to CGI making the film so immersive.  

The sequel comes out this December and promises to make even more advances in special effects. Avatar (2009) was the most advanced film of the 2000s, but how does it hold up a decade later? The film's still essential to the history of special effects, and the world of Pandora is still immersive. Walt Disney World has created Pandora in Animal Kingdom, including Flights of Passage, where guests can ride a banshee. The ride is hugely popular.  

IMDB summarizes Avatar (2009): "A paraplegic Marine dispatched to the moon  Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and  protecting the world he feels is his home." 

It has been criticized for having a generic plot that revolves around a white man saving native people who are presented as less advanced. "In the post-Global War on Terrorism era, there are increasingly more representations of contemporary disabled veterans. These representations reflect a cultural desire to integrate and appreciate veterans while at the same  time expressing larger anxiety, hate, and fear about both disabled veterans and  disabled people in general." (Schalk, 403)

Photo by Richard Catabay from Unsplash

Films are often rooted in real-world social and political issues happening at that time. 

Disabled people are often seen as weak or lesser, but this view conflicts with the image of a strong patriotic soldier. As medical advancements allowed more soldiers to come home disabled with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder, the idea of a veteran evolved. Still, the image of a disabled person didn't.  

Disabled veterans conflicted with societal expectations. This conflict created cultural anxiety. "Avatar attempts to alleviate cultural anxieties about contemporary disabled veterans by representing protagonists who exist at  the top of a disability hierarchy and can therefore be more easily integrated into society." (Schalk, 407) The disability hierarchy is defined by the norms of society. The standard protagonist is a white, cisgender, straight, able-bodied man. The disability hierarchy compares people with disabilities against these traits.  

The less you match that description, the lower on the hierarchy you are. "Disability hierarchy is not about disability type alone, but rather it is a complex, intersectional differential valuation of disabled people regarding who can and cannot or should and should not be accommodated and integrated into a society based on a variety of factors"(Schalk, 408) Jake Sully is the stereotypical protagonist with a disability.

moon placements: random observations

1st house

you have an almost overwhelming need to care and protect other people. you usually have a sensitive digestive system, easily upset by junk food. in people with uteruses, your period is likely worse than usual. in men, the mother/child relationship is usually complex, and needs a good deal of patience from both sides.

2nd house

you need security and don’t function well without it. a low bank account balance sets you into panic and obsessive anxiety. that’s when your imagination runs wild and does all the worrying for you. ironically, despite this need for security, you lose money wayyy too easily. you’re a softie for all kinds of needy people, especially friends.

3rd house

you need the world to know just how you feel about everything important to you, and you probably spend  more time on social media than most. not only do you need constant touch with friends, you also want to spread your ideas amongst the widest possible audience. you find it easier to communicate your feelings in any situation, and this can be both a blessing and a curse.

4th house

a good, secure, loving family is of utmost importance to you. if your domestic life is bad, your health responds worse than most people (and it usually effects every other area of your life). my mom has this, and she has a terrible time letting her children go out into the world, as much as she claims she doesn’t (she’s also a cancer moon which. whew). she is also resentful of any independence, or anything she considers ungratefulness for her love and protection. there’s an excessive worry about our well-being, and it’s quite suffocating and emotionally manipulative to live with that.

5th house

you’re quite eager to start a family, and taking care of children is usually your specialty. you instinctively know how to build a good relationship with them, and know well when to cling and when to let go. this is also the house of sexual love, which means sex is more about your partner’s pleasure than your own.

6th house

this placement has a potent effect on your well-being. you should develop good health habits as soon as possible, and try not to engage in any kind of drugs (no, not even weed or alcohol) for to you it is more harmful than in most people (see Mac Miller). under stress, you could also develop some kind of eating disorder. maintaining healthy habits might be easier with an earth moon.

7th house

at best, this placement causes you to be a spendid lover and partner. at worst, it can cause such dependence on the other that you might think you’re one! you’re not!! this can suffocate your partner and shrink your amazing personality.

8th house

a good romantic relationship is usually founded in strong feelings during sex, of which you are more than willing to express. complete trust in your partner is vital to your personal happiness. as often is the case when people have intense sexualities, jealousy can be a problem for you.

9th house

you probably have difficulty concentrating in any task at hand, and disciplined thought just isn’t for you. like no matter how much you want to concentrate, it’s impossible. truth is, your judgement is often clouded by your emotions, so if you can’t connect emotionally with the subject, you can’t bother. it’s not a conscious thing.

10th house

what you don’t hear about this placement is how sympathetic and understanding they are. these people are always loved and admired (even idolized; see John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Gandhi, etc). you spend a good deal of emotion on behalf of others, trying to understand their problems and doing your best to help. you need change and variety in your career, and are the type of person who can handle almost anything.

11th house

wow what a mass of emotional contradiction. on one hand, you’re likely part of a warm and close group; on the other hand, you can’t really open up and be at ease with many people. or you are someone who may desperately long for love and closeness, but can’t allow yourself to be vulnerable. and even if you find that kind of love you crave, you can’t accept it unconditionally and happily. you should open up to people and ask for help more.

12th house

you should stop rushing about and make time to be alone, no matter how extroverted you are. you need time for constructive solitude. this need for withdrawal comes from the core of your personality. if you don’t practice being happily alone once in a while, you’ll use escapist tendencies to feed your inner needs (including drug use).

signs on houses cusps

ARIES

*note that any planets in these houses can affect the energies

1st house in Aries/rising 🐏

Aries is the traditional sign of the first house, so having Aries rising is a straightforward energy and it will be expressed easily here. You are someone that views the world just the way it is, with the good and the bad and you embrace this idea and work through it. People see you as a joyful presence that helps remind them of how important it is to enjoy everyday and not take it so seriously at all times. You might be expansive when you first meet someone and funny. Physically, you look youthful and you are full of energy. Jumping head first into anything that you do is your way of approaching projects or situations and this can sometimes give you a spontaneous, an action oriented personality and make you feel misunderstood by those that are more cautious and calculated. Relying on your instincts first is something you believe a lot in and any physical activity might help you to externalize the anger that you might have accumulated along the way. 

2nd house in Aries 🐏

The second house is the house of Taurus traditionally and having it in Aires might make the person impatient of the slow-moving second house energy. You are someone that is very driven by the idea of becoming independent financially to the point that you want to skip some steps in order to get where you wish. This is the reason why sometimes you might make hasty financial decisions and have the need to move around a lot. Learning how to be patient and understand that slowing down will help you achieve your goals faster is something you deal with. At the same time, learning from your mistakes is something you are not afraid of and your self worth is quite strong. You should not be afraid of showing who you really are due to the fear of coming off too strong. You might sometimes be aggressive and stubborn about the things that you own or believe in, but you are quite good with getting your way and achieving your goals at the end of the day.  

3rd house in Aries 🐏

The third house is in Gemini traditionally and having it in Aires means that self expression to you is a way to use up your energy. You are the type of person that needs communication in order to feel motivated. It can happen at times that your mind goes wild and that’s when you words can come off as harsh and direct, because you are not used to filtering the information before putting it out. However, balancing your freedom of speech with a diplomatic way of communication will get you far. Short trips help you manage your anger, as well as writing your thoughts. Whenever you feel like you need to communicate your anger, slow down first and try to understand the situation and then speak your mind about it, you can get quite stubborn in your ideas which will come in handy only as long as it’s used in a creative, productive matter. It’s mostly probable that you were quite social while growing up or in school and you carry this child-like way of communicating your emotions throughout your life. 

4th house in Aries 🐏

When you have Aries in the house of family and home, which is the house of Cancer, it can sometimes be overwhelming. You grew up in a family or setting that gave you the freedom to be the kid that you wanted to be, but at the same time you might have dealt with conflicts in your home life. Maybe the way you communicate with your family or the way you are when no one is watching is very expansive and reckless and being at home gives you energy and helps you feel youthful. Also, it might be that humor is an important part of your relationship with your family or with the people that know you best. At the same time, it might be harder for you to express your emotions towards your family and you’d rather show them your love through making them smile or have a good laugh or do something nice together. You’re the type of person to dance in your room when no one is watching and find coziness in disorder sometimes, as well as having a lot of energy when you’re around the people you care about. 

5th house in Aries 🐏

The fifth house is the house of Leo, so having Aries here can be a bit clashing, but it’s still a good combination. You are someone that’s driven by the idea of doing fun things - going out, meeting people, spending your time on any creative hobby or anything that helps you enjoy yourself. Paradoxically, you might sometimes feel as if these areas are also the ones that bring up most conflict in your life. Maybe you are the type of person that stands up for their hobbies a lot and you can get too fixated on an idea you have that can cause arguments or maybe you find out that dating brings out clashes in your life. Having fun is great, but sometimes assessing your decisions rather than jumping head first into them just because it’s fun would help you be more grounded and will prevent regrets. Be more gentle with the ones you love and practice active listening if you feel like that’s something that you should work on. You get an energy boost from any creative project as well. If you ever have kids, they will likely be as spontaneous as you are.  

6th house in Aries 🐏

The sixth house is the house of Virgo, so having Aries here can either be challenging or motivating, depending on how you use the energy. It’s likely that you are quite driven by the idea of having a stable routine, but somehow it happens that it’s difficult for you to stay organized. You are the type of person that likes going with the flow and most probably physical movement helps you eliminate any type of stuck energy or anger that you accumulate in you. You are have a lot of energy, especially when at home and need constant stimulation in order to get yourself tired. Finding your own way of organizing yourself is crucial here, so do not try to plan things if that doesn’t work for you and rather do things at your own pace, which is quick. Attention to details might be something you struggle with and you have to be careful not to mistakenly hurt yourself or get any injuries due to your rushing nature. If you were looking for a sign to get a pet, this is is, as it would brighten up your routine. 

7th house in Aries 🐏

The seventh house is standardly in Libra, which is the opposite sign of Aries so having Aries here can be a challenging placement. It’s likely that the close relationships you have with others and more specifically your romantic relationships bring out the angry side of you. Maybe you are not the person to get angry, but somehow in a relationship you do. In order to make this placement flow you need to accept this part of yourself and recognize how in your love life you need someone that you can be goofy around and do a lot of crazy things together and maybe someone that helps you get that careless side of yourself into the world in order to take off some of the pressure you tend to put on yourself at times. When it comes to people you are close with, you tend to be really outspoken and independent and a bit more different than how you show up to the rest of the world, where you feel like you are trying to be something you are not at times. Implement this 7th house careless energy in the way you view the world as well and you will find a much needed balance.   

8th house in Aries 🐏

The eight house is naturally in Scorpio, so having Aries here makes this house be expressed in a different way. It’s possible that whenever you get closer to someone, they start seeing your childish side, your wild side, your careless and sometimes impulsive self. You are driven by the darker things in life, no matter what that means for you. You might find yourself being into crime tv shows or the occult or any spiritual activity and feel very passionate about these subjects. One downside of this placement is that you tend to want to do everything by yourself and not let your partner or business partner or project partner to help you, you should let down your guard when it comes to this. Also, anger is something you know how to express, but it might come all of a sudden and out of nowhere, just because you kept it inside for too long without even realizing and then it just bursts.  

9th house in Aries 🐏

The night house is the house of Sagittarius originally, so having Aries here can create a positive blend. You are someone that’s driven by the idea of learning and expanding your mind. However, you might find yourself getting bored with it quite easily and you constantly need new information coming to you in order to keep your attention. Travelling and meeting other cultures gives you energy and makes you feel alive. You might be someone that shares their opinions and views on life wholeheartedly. Thinking about the big questions of life make you happy and you always feel like you are on a quest to find the truth. You are quite independent as well and you feel like you are most independent when travelling abroad or living abroad. If you haven’t done this step yet, any cultural experience of this sort or any learning experience such as academia or learning a new language will give you a great sense of freedom.   

10th house in Aries 🐏

The tenth house is usually the house of Capricorn, so having Aries here can give you some trouble. You are someone that is driven by the idea of having a successful career and working towards it, as well as someone that knows how to independently get where they wish. However, you feel like you want to reach your goals without actually doing the work and you might be restless when it comes to your career and get bored easily. Being more calculated will help you a lot with being on track and closer to your goals than acting without a plan sometimes. People likely see you as a free spirited person, a youthful soul that knows how to enjoy life, but can sometimes get stubborn in their ways of doing things and therefore get into conflict, especially at work. If you find a way to balance things, it’s most likely that you will have a leadership position later on or at least inspire some people with your crazy journey. 

11th house in Aries 🐏

The eleventh house is usually the house of Aquarius, so having Aries here is an energy that works for you. You feel very energized from your friendships and especially from settings when you are part of a community or a group of people and you enjoy standing out through your actions here. It’s possible that your friendships are the place you go to in order to let loose and go wild and you are quite impulsive when with your friends. The downside of this placement can be that you might sometimes snap at your friends group for no reason and that can be seen as ‘too much’. Trying to find a balance between being independent and being empathic with your surrounding group is something you learn in time. You might have a tendency to be impatient about the future and want to skip steps with this placement. Your child-like personality shows off in your friends group and that really inspires a lot of people to be more of a free spirit like you, you might be quite good at leading the way in a group and have a leadership personality. 

12th house in Aries 🐏

The twelfth house is usually the house of Pisces, so having Aries here can make its traits be a bit foreign to you and confusing. Sometimes it’s hard for you to see your childish side and to let loose. These traits are there, but they can sometimes be hidden in your subconscious. You can tap into this side of yourself through dreams, meditation or any other form of escaping, such as drinking wine with your friends on a Friday night. It’s possible that people might get angry with you for no reason or the people might not show you their anger. This trait can mirror some anger issues you might be dealing with. Working on expressing your anger can help you see it in other people. You might be the hyper energic person when drunk , but in everyday life it can be a bit hard for you to find your motivation and drive to work towards your goals. Check where mars is in your chart in order to see in which area of your life you can tap into this Aries energy more.

“[Con] have you killed anyone this morning?”
