#transition tip

[deception-united]

Let's talk about transitions.

Transitioning between fast-paced and slow-paced scenes is essential for maintaining the flow of your narrative and keeping readers engaged throughout your story, allowing for moments of reflection, introspection, and character development.

Here are some strategies to smoothly transition between different pacing levels:

Use scene endings and beginnings: End a fast-paced scene with a cliffhanger or revelation that propels the story forward, then transition to a slower-paced scene that allows characters (and readers) to process the events. On the flip side, begin a slow-paced scene with a hook or question that intrigues readers and draws them deeper into the story.

Bridge paragraphs: Include bridge paragraphs between scenes to provide a smooth transition. These paragraphs can briefly summarize the previous scene's events, set the scene for the upcoming events, or transition between different settings, characters, or points of view.

Change in tone or focus: Shift the tone or focus of the narrative to signal a change in pacing. For example, transition from a tense action scene to a quieter moment of reflection by shifting the narrative focus from external events to internal thoughts and emotions.

Utilise pacing within scenes: Even within a single scene, you can vary the pacing to create transitions. Start with a fast-paced opening to grab the reader's attention, then gradually slow down the pacing as you delve deeper into character interactions, dialogue, or introspection. Conversely, speed up the pacing to inject energy and excitement into slower scenes.

Symbolic transitions: Use symbolic elements within the narrative to signal transitions between pacing levels. For example, transition from a fast-paced scene set during a stormy night to a slow-paced scene set in the calm aftermath of the storm, mirroring the shift in pacing.

Foreshadowing: Use subtle foreshadowing in fast-paced scenes to hint at upcoming events or conflicts that will be explored in slower-paced scenes. This creates anticipation and helps to smoothly transition between different pacing levels by maintaining continuity in the narrative arc.

Character reactions: Show how characters react to the events of fast-paced scenes in the subsequent slower-paced scenes. Use their thoughts, emotions, and actions to provide insight into the impact of these events on the story and its characters, helping to bridge the transition between pacing levels.

Astrology Aspects Simplified :

Trine & Sextile : these are easy flow & positive aspects. Trine is considered more positive than Sextile. They mostly indicate - talents, abilities that come naturally.

Semisextile : these are minor aspects that indicate easy flow. This aspect also helps in boosting awareness about our strengths.

Sesquiquadrate or sesquisquare : it is a slightly difficult aspect. This is when two planets aren't willing to work together... And in that case it is recommended to not force it and just give in..

Synastry chart : it is used to check compatibility between two people. Mostly romantic compatibility. Helps u in checking strengths and weaknesses in a romantic relationship.

Transit chart : the real-time movement of planets through the zodiac signs and their impact on an individual's natal chart.

Would you maybe do permahospitalized tips? (Without actually going to the hospital)

Perma Hospitalized

Keep your room minimal and clean ! Hospitals don’t have clutter, so try to keep surfaces clear and only have essential items !! Sterilizing your area with disinfectant once a week can help with that clean / hospital smell !

Get a hospital - style bed setup ! White sheets, lightweight blankets, and maybe even an adjustable bed frame if possible !!

Consider adding a bedside table with water, tissues, and a small tray for a hospital feel ! If you can , getting those steel rolling trays to fill with care items can be even better !

Wear hospital gowns or loose pajamas for that patient aesthetic !! If hospital gowns aren’t comfy , oversized T-shirts and soft pajama pants work too !

Try using medical tape or bandages decoratively - wrap wrists, fingers, or arms for that medical touch !!

Use a medical wristlet !! Print this out , cut to fit , write your information and glue onto the red parts !

Have a medical chart close to your bed !! Heres a whole website full of printable charts that you can fill out !!

Have a day-to-day plan !! Heres a default made by me to get started : 7:00 AM — Wake up & morning check-in (write in a health journal) 8:00 AM — Breakfast & morning meds (use vitamins or candy as "meds" if not needed) 10:00 AM — Light activity (watch TV, read, therapy-like journaling) 12:00 PM — Lunch & rest 2:00 PM — Pastime (drawing, listening to music, puzzles) 5:00 PM — Dinner & evening meds 7:00 PM — Wind down (relaxing bath, writing, low-energy hobbies) 9:00 PM — Bedtime (dim lights, ASMR hospital sounds, white noise machines)

Hope these helped !! Good luck my little patient <3

[literaryvein-reblogs]

I have a question. I just started writing something and the first part of the prologue. The main character is having a very big chunk of talking to the reader, and I don’t know how to get out of that. I’m kind of stuck where I wanna start using metaphors and I wanna start describing what’s going on around the character, but I don’t know how to do it without it sounding weird to me. Do you have any ideas or any thoughts that could help me transition into the phase of where the character is not speaking Even though it is an in quotation mark it’s more of like the characters thoughts? 

Writing Tips: Scene Transitions

Tips from Story by Robert McKee. Two options:

Emphasize a likeness between the end of the last scene and the beginning of the next scene.

Emphasize a difference between the end of the last scene and the beginning of the next scene (create "contrast").

While the likeness and difference can be obvious, most of the time, it's better that they are not too obvious, so they don't draw undue attention to themselves. 

McKee gives some great examples:

A characterization trait. In common: Cut from a bratty child to a childish adult.  In opposition: Cut from awkward protagonist to elegant antagonist. 

An action. In common: From the beginning of lovemaking to savoring the afterglow. In opposition: from chatter to cold silence.

An object. In common: From greenhouse interior to woodland exterior. In opposition: From the Congo to Antarctica

A word. In common: A phrase repeated from scene to scene. In opposition: From compliment to curse.

A quality of light. In common: From shadows at dawn to shade at sunset. In opposition: From blue to red. 

A sound. In common: From waves lapping a shore to the rise and fall of a sleeper's breath. In opposition: From silk caressing skin to the grinding of gears.

An idea. In common: From a child's birth to an overture. In opposition: From a painter's empty canvas to an old man dying.

These examples are aimed at film, but you could make them all work in a short story or a novel, should you want to. 

Basically, these approaches help with flow. 

They can also be great at smoothing over subjects and ideas that may be repeating. 

This may help the reader transition smoothly from one passage to the next. You also don't have to circle around back to a subject you were already just addressing.

You don't have to do this sort of thing every time, but they are helpful tricks for when you want to get that flow just right.

Writing Ideas: Scene Transitions

Transition to a flashback

...to a foreshadowing

...to descriptive writing (like using metaphors)

...to exploring your setting

Here are some possible transitions you can incorporate in your prologue. Choose which one makes sense for your story. Hope this helps with your writing!

[goth-brushbug]

My biggest tip to ppl who are the beginning of their gender self-discovery is to let it marinate. You don't know which label fits you the most? Don't worry about that. It will come with time. You might change your labels multiple times, and it's completely normal.

Start with pronouns and words that feel comfortable to you. They should give you gender euphoria. If you feel uncomfortable with certain pronouns, etc, it might be a sign that you should drop them. You don't need to change your name at first. You don't need to do that at all!

Ask your friends or family that you know will support you to use different pronouns/names. Even if you can do that only online for safety reasons.

Don't rush things. There is no pressure. You don't have to prove anything to anyone.

for the tdick anon just now:

hi! as someone who was on T for 4 years and stopped (it’ll be 3 years this december since i stopped) my tdick did shrink, but not a whole lot. it’s noticeable to me since it’s my body and i check often haha

also, when i’m erect, i’m not as hard as when i was on T, if sex/ partnered play/ masturbation/ etc. involving your tdick is something important to you.

if you (plan to) use toys/ vibrators that suck on clits and tdicks, i recommend a good amount of lube because i’ve! injured myself before using them dry! i’m still bigger than the toy was probably meant for haha so lube will be your best friend here

all this to say, your tdick is permanent! it’ll change sure, but you’ll get to keep it around :}

anyway those are just personal anecdotes haha. if you decide to get on T anytime soon, good luck!

It's so kind of you to share, Anon. Thank you, this is a great addition! [Original post here for anyone wondering.]

transschizophrenia transition tips

transschizophrenia transition tips

From a person with schizophrenia

I wanna start this by sayin I don't ever encourage hurtin others in yer pursuit of transitioning, so please be responsible. Won't be usin my usual cadence fer this fer accessibility. Onto the tips

Schizophrenia is a complex disorder that is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disordered speech, disorganized or catatonic behavior and negative symptoms, and you only need a couple to qualify, but I honestly recommend looking into the less well known symptoms too. I'll be going over what these mean and what they mean for your transition.

First things first: schizophrenia starts manifesting in late teens to early adulthood.

If you're between the ages of around 19-25 you're at the prime age for this, but there's also such things as childhood onset schizophrenia which can manifest before 13, and between 13-18 is considered early onset schizophrenia.

Basically, you can develop it at any time, but it's not nearly as common in minors. Keep this in mind when it comes to transition timing.

Okay onto symptoms!!!

Delusions: delusions are deeply engrained false beliefs that cannot be shaken even when provided proof. I just wanna start this by saying... Many are really fucking mundane.

One of the reasons I didn't notice sooner was because none of them actually impacted my behavior, it was just "oh the world is a simulation, anyways I wonder what I'll do for dinner" or "everyone around me is fake but that's fine I still love them".

This isn't always the case of course, but keep that in mind.

Encourage absurdist or magical thinking, focus on tricking yourself into believing things you would otherwise disregard as irrational. Defend these false beliefs and refuse to change your mind even when others provide evidence contrary.

Some common places to start are: the world is a simulation, someone in my life isn't real (capgras delusion) (make sure the recipient is consenting please), the people in my life want to hurt/kill me and are conspiring against me (persecutory delusions), I have magical powers others don't such as future vision or am being followed by a magical entity (optional: I can't tell others about it because it will endanger them), someone is trying to send me messages through mundane media like the news or online posts, etc.

Hallucinations: hallucinations are simply experiencing sensations through any of the senses that aren't actually there.

Unless paired with delusions, people who experience hallucinations are often able to pick them out as hallucinations. Imagine yourself seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling or tasting things that aren't there.

You can practice with actual sensations like using a feather on your skin while not looking or having someone else do it then taking it away when you look, or using strong scents and imagining the source not being there.

Very common hallucinations are: shadow people (often in the corner of your vision), feeling like bugs are crawling on you, sounds of banging or opening/closing doors when nobody is awake/around, or seeing horrors beyond your imagination doing mundane things (/silly).

Disordered speech: this isn't nearly as talked about when discussing schizophrenia, at least not by name. It's kindly referred to as "word salad" but it can also be classed as a thought disorder. You can practice speaking with different types and seeing what feels most right for you.

There are way too many types to list here, so I really recommend doing your own research, but some common types are: replacing words with similar sounding ones or using incorrect versions of words, loose word association that can sound like regular speech but when listening closely it makes no sense, not being able to speak at all, or talking in extreme abstracts and metaphors that might only make sense to you.

Disorganized or catatonic behavior: there are two extremes here: acting out violently, strangely, or inappropriately- or not acting at all.

Catatonic behavior is self explanatory, it can be things like not moving at all, being very easy to physically move and manipulate during these periods or the opposite of resisting all movement, being unaware of the world around you, etc.

Disorganized behavior is a bit more abstract, though. It consists of aggressive or childlike behavior, pacing or making bizarre facial expressions, having a flat affect which I'll talk about more in a bit, etc.

You can practice any of these on your own and exhibit them around others once you get the hang of it.

Finally, negative symptoms: this one is a bit odd, since it can often be mistaken for depression or ADHD symptoms.

It consists of struggling to manage and keep up with daily tasks, keeping a clean environment, significant changes in sleeping habits, poor hygiene, lack of motivation, and more.

One thing with this is a blunted or flat affect which is the inability to emote physically strongly or at all, like having a monotone voice and not smiling.

You can practice this in a mirror or with someone willing to help you transition and point out when you emote.

You're already there with the rest if you experience depression, honestly.

Uhmm I hope this was helpful! It's based on my experiences for the most part

Hi! I saw you do transition tips and have been looking for some advice or tips on how to fully transition to being PermaNonVerbal, Ive started easing the body into not talking around friends and family, being talking less around family and not at all when on calls

But I cannot seem to fully become non-verbal when I'm on my own / constantly talking to myself and people in headspace through the body, would you have any tips on how to go about preventing that?

PERMANONVERBAL TIPS !

these are some tips that personally helped me as someone who frequently shuts down and goes nonverbal :) I hope this helped!

01 :

try to wear noise cancelling headphones! it often creates a muted environment where you can't even hear yourself speaking, so you often end up quieting down with them.

02 :

try to occupy yourself with hobbies that don't really require noise. whenever I'm overstimulated, just sitting and reading or daydreaming tends to get me to shut up and relax.

03 :

if possible in your headspace, try to get communication cards! in my experience, the cards that say "I am feeling..." at the top with a variety of emotions at the bottom that you can point to have been the best, but it varies to your needs!

ps. you can also put whatever interests you have on the cards.

04 :

if you're the host, I understand it may be difficult to talk to the others. try to make it very clear that you only want to talk to them through headspace, and that you refuse to speak out loud.

though it may be bad for your mental state, isolating yourself in small doses may also help! see if you can have one of the others front whilst you tuck yourself away somewhere in headspace and relax quietly. it helps you adjust to being quieter.

05 :

this one is more of a placebo effect, but I've found it works for me. pick a sort of idol, aesthetic, or character that you want to liken yourself to.

for example, sunny from omori! are you a deadpanned type of nonverbal, like him? or are you more of a quiet and soft nonverbal like komi from komi can't communicate?

often times, I find imitating a character or following a vibe to help a lot. surround yourself with that type of vibe, try to match similar personality traits, etc.

06 :

do also bear in mind - nonverbal people do still make noise! it's perfectly ok for you to grunt, squeak, whatever. it's more common if anything. however, it's all down to your personal preference!

Saturn is transiting in Pisces ♓...

On March 29, 2025 and will remain there until April 29, 2027. Brace yourselves. This is going to be intense to most.. in Good and bad ways.. other than to positively placed water sign.

What to expect:

World leaders r going to make some dumb decisions. Because their practicality will start to cloud in this period.

Religion wars may intensify.

There will be some natural disasters.

People will start to brag about their religion. More than usual.

Some astrologers r predicating another global pandemic.

Another global pandemic could lead to an increase in spirituality. People will be self reflecting a lot throughout this period.

Natal with a strong positive 12th house / Pisces ♓ / water sign placements will become more emotionally and spiritually resilient.

If u r a water dom.. who's been working extremely hard since the past few years.. then congratulations.. Shani will reward ur hard work in this period. Be open to receiving ur blessings. 😁🙏

FYI.. Shani will only be hard on people who r lazy, who r repeating the same mistakes over and over, people who r searching for shortcuts.. if u r one of these people.. follow these remedies.. 👇. Shani will be gentle on u.. I hope. 🙏

How to survive this transit (especially if u r currently in ur Sade sati):

Saturn / Shani the father figure of astrology.. rewards hardwork, patience, practicality and honesty.

Be honest, play fair, respect ur elders, avoid alcohol, avoid smoking, try to avoid non-veg if possible, be loyal to ur partner(Not just now. Be loyal always.) and do charity.

Since shani is transiting in Pisces.. do a lot of self reflection.. acknowledge and correct ur flaws. Heal emotionally for yourself and ur loved ones.

Pray to Hanuman ji everyday. Pray for resilience and inner strength.

Do fasting on Saturday to please Shani Dev.

Feed street dogs. Love and respect animals always. Shani always blesses people who love animals.

Respect donkeys, horses, elephants and all animals that r forced to work against their will. Bow down to them and thank them for their hard work & service. Feed them and love them.

Recite the Shani mantra "Om Sham Shanaishcharaye Namah".

Wear black (if shani placement is positive) to please Shani dev. Avoid wearing black if shani placement is not favourable.

All the best. U got this. 😁💖

INFO - LIST FOR TRANSABLED AID ACCESS

A list of discreet access of assistive aids , ways to hide assistive aids , and euphoria inducing replacements .

Where to get assistive aids ?

01 , An obvious choice would be online shopping , although discreet shopping can be a bit difficult . Buying many things at once so you get a big / couple of packages could be a way to not turn any eyes , especially now that the holidays are coming up . " But I live with people who have the tendency of opening my packages " , there are a couple of options of what you can do - use a p.o box or locker service ( ex: amazon locker will send you an email with pickup instructions ) , choosing a specific delivery time of when you are only home / you have time to be the first one to pick it up ( tip : have delivery notifications on so you can be the first one to receive it ) , have delivery instructions to specify where to put the package ( ex : behind a pot plant , under the steps , etc ) , have it delivered to your friends / work . " But big shopping sites aren't safe for me " , Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist could be a better option for you , may be also safer as you can request the person selling you the item to make it discreet / can also be on the cheaper end , as they tend to be used . It can also be safer on the end of simply picking it up , making it so that there isn't any sort of electronic transaction that can be seen on a bank / phone receipt . 02 , Thrifted / Yard sales are also a good option - not only is it generally more discreet , allowing you to take it home by simply putting it in your bag without any other notice , but it's also generally cheaper , seeing that often times its used items still in a somewhat good condition . " What / where do I look for ? " , I would often suggest Goodwill , as they tend to have a wider range of mobility aids . You can also find them at your local small shops - try calling ahead and asking if they have anything , as they mostly will have more time to look through their storage . " How do I know it's worth it ? " , shopping out is a greater option as you can test out if the aid is good for you . When shopping for aids , test if they are sturdy , if they are the right size for you / there is any ability to diy fix it to your measurements , and how you would be able to put it away / hide it .

When it comes to what sort of aid is the most discreet : Canes : foldable canes are the most discreet , they are compact and are able to be carried in a bag . Double use canes , such as umbrella canes , are also discreet in the sense of being able to play it off as just an umbrella . Rollator : also good to consider a foldable rollators / walkers , ones that also have a seat can be passed off as just portable seats . Wheelchairs : Wheelchairs , unless you live in a spacious area without any judging eyes , are hard to turn discreet . While folding wheelchairs are a thing , plus lightweight ones - like most wheelchairs , they are expensive , and often are badly fitted / uncomfortable . ++ temporary replacements are a better option . Hearing Aids : Hearing Aids kept in their case can very easily be passed out as to be wireless earbuds / there are many hearing aids that resemble simple ear buds. Although , Hearing Aids bought online aren't the most reliable , and may be even dangerous - so temporary / thrifted replacement is a better option .

Where do I hide my aids if I am in an unsafe environment ?

While hiding things from the people you live with can be draining , it is still suggested for your safety .

01 , Folding Aids - Any aid that is able to be neatly folded and easily stored is the best when it comes to hiding . Placing them in bags in also the best , as you are able to take them out once you leave your place . Another way would be having a designated spot outside your place , where you can easily access it once you are out . More ways of hiding them : in drawers , unused umbrella holders , under your mattress , in coat hoodies , old shoe boxes .

02 , Aids with Wheels - While trickier , definitely able . The biggest suggestion is to have folding versions . You can fold them and store in the back of your closet along the wall . You can put it on the frame of your bed and put a mattress over it . If you have a rug , putting it specifically near / under your bed , and then the aid right under the rub can also be an option . If you have a dresser , sliding it between the wall and the dresser's side can help . On top of closets can also be good . When needing to store it for outside use , big portfolios could fit them . 03 , Hearing Aids - Probably the easiest to hide as they resemble ear buds . Although getting custom / decorated cases can be good for disguising them . Nonetheless , if needed , hiding them in small pockets of backpacks , coat pockets , pencil cases can be extra security . " What if I immediately need to hide something for my safety ? " , when opening your drawer - look past the drawer / take it out , you will see that there is room on the inside of the frame , even with the drawers fully closed . You can throw any smaller sized aid in that space , and then simply take out the drawers to take it back when ready . Another way for more bigger aids - take out all of the drawers from a dresser , put the aid inside , then put the drawers back in . If the back of your dresser is a softer material that's able to be cut , cut a ⊏ shape so that it creates a flap , put your aid in and tape the flap , put your dresser back up on the wall - the flap is an easier access than taking out all drawers . Although if you feel like you are in immediate danger for having an assistive aid in your home , prioritize your safety and take the aid out of your home . You are worth more than something that you will be 100% able to get back in the future < 3

DIY - ING

Everyone should be able to have access to assistive aids - even when it comes to creating their own .

Folding Crutches . ( need to already have simple crutches ) Cane out of yardsticks . ++ easier , You can make a cane by taking hard pvc pipe , sealing the bottom + adding a stopper ( shaped rubber or foam ) , while at the top you cut out to sides of a handle - a top and bottom , glue it with hot glue and attach it.

While it may not be as sturdy - it's still a good alternative .

More affordable assistive aid shopping :

essentailaids.com , affordable canes / crutches / walkers - lots of accessories , has wheelchairs too .

mobilityshop.co.uk , also affordable AND a huge range , so you have some options . Also offers accessories and some more simpler accessibility aids .

argos.co.uk , on the more pricier end yet still quite affordable , also offers joints support and braces .

abilitysuperstore.com , while not as affordable as other sites , still has a pretty decent price range - but has way more options to offer .

TRANSSCHIZOSPEC TIPS 𖦹

i am also transschizospec!!

i will separate this into categories: delusions, hallucinations, behaviors, emotions, and thinking

keep in mind these are all just symptoms and not every schizospec person experiences them all!! most probably dont experience all of them!!

delusions:

- a delusions is simply a fixed belief that doesnt change despite contradicting evidence. let your imagination run wild and then just gaslight yourself. eventually youll believe it.

- if you need more guidance, some common delusions are grandiose delusions (which i experienced), paranoid, erotomaniac (parasocial), somatic, and many more you can google.

- paranoia is very very common!! incorporate it!!

- look at the “how the delulu girls“ trend on tiktok!!

- whether or not you choose to talk to people about your delusion is up to you

hallucinations:

- honestly, make them up to gaslight yourself and/or manifest them

- draw whatever comes to mind and tell yourself its your hallucinations

- get sleep deprived!!

-watch things that make you anxious!!

- listen for small background noises and tell yourself its a hallucination

behaviors:

- periods of catatonia!! catatonia is a state where someone is awake but not responding to other people or maybe their environment. it may occur in the form of repetitive odd gestures, holding strange positions, mimicking others, or not moving at all. not every schizospec person experiences catatonia!!!!

- disorganized speech!! this is pretty much just word salads but with whatever and also with some garbled speech so ill make an example of this one no thank you i dont have the free time for that but yournrnnn you cna ask ted..if you wnt because hes to contamnnated to do that (but do that while talking)

- do repetitive movements and do things in patterns

- be impulsive

- schizophrenics tend to socially isolate

- be disorganized!! wear mismatch clothes (thats a thing with schizophrenics), have a messy room, etc.

emotions:

- apathy is common among schizophrenics and interestingly enough, so are heightened emotions!! sometimes just not react to things and SOMETIMES REALLY REACT!!

- anxiety is also very common

- paranoia!! what if everyone can read your mind? what if they know youre a terrible person? there are people watching you. where are they?

- inappropriate emotional responses!! such as laughing when something bad happens or crying over something really small. this ties in with heightened emotions.

thinking:

- disorganized thoughts!! this is pretty much just word salads but with whatever and also with some garbled speech so ill make an example of this one no thank you i dont have the free time for that but yournrnnn you cna ask ted..if you wnt because hes to contamnnated to do that (but do that while talking)

- memory issues!!

- inability to process social cues!! that means not getting the hint when someone is talking to you or not getting the hint someone needs to be comforted, for example.

- attention deficit!! struggle to focus on things and zone out a lot

Astrology 102: Reading an Ephemeris

Note: this ephemeris was borrowed here from Cafe Astrology for this demonstration.

Reading an ephemeris is easy when you begin to understand the language of the chart.

The top of this reads, "March 2025 Tropical Midnight Ephemeris Time Zone: EST (05:00 East) EDT (04:00 East)."

This is pretty straightforward. It identifies the date, the type of Ephemeris it is, and the timezone. It lists two time zones here because, during March, we enter Daylight Saving Time and change time zones.

"Midnight" that the chart is drawn at 12:00 a.m. for each date - faster-moving planets may move through multiple degrees throughout the day.

The next part is the chart for the month, which constitutes the bulk of our information.

The days of the month are listed on the left side going down, and the planets stretch across to the right. There's an additional row for the moon's position at noon (since the moon moves that fast) and one for the North Node. On the 1st, it lists the signs the planets are in, and any planetary ingress is listed in red further down on the day it occurs. You can see here that Mercury enters Aries on 3/4.

Additionally, you can see that Venus is in retrograde on 3/2 by the red Rx symbol. It's worth noting this isn't the date the retrograde STARTS; this is the day that the retrograde is in effect at 12am. You just line up the date, and all of the planetary positions for the day are lined up for you.

The last section of the chart is quick access and it gets into some of deep weeds of each month.

Ingresses are a list of every planet that changes signs (other than the moon) over the course of the month. Here we see that the Mercury enters Aries, the Sun enters Aries, Venus enters Pisces, Mercury enters Aries, and Neptune enters Aries. The chart also tells us the date and exact time of their ingress.

Below, it lists any planets that station (change directions) during the month. We see that Venus retrogrades on the 1st at 7:36pm and Mercury retrogrades on the 15th at 2:46am.

Lunar Ingresses & Void Moons are definitely the weeds, but if you work with the particularities of lunar magic, this may be the right place for you. As you can see, the moon moves from Aries on 3/1 back through the entire chart to Aries again on 3/28 and into Taurus on 3/30. If you are interested in the Void of Course phases of the moon, they are also listed here.

Phases & Eclipses is precisely what it sounds like. It gives you the exact dates and times of the month's new, full, and half moons. It also lists eclipses, if we have them, and the exact time (which is sometimes slightly different than the time the new or full moon is exact). T means a total eclipse, and P represents a partial eclipse.

Putting It All Together

There are two major ways that I might use an ephemeris.

Say, I am thinking about working some money magic on the eclipsed Aries new moon - I want to check on ALL of the astrological transits for the day. I know that the Sun will be conjunct the Moon at 09° Aries at 6:58am on 3/29, and the eclipse is exact at 6:47 am by quickly consulting Phases & Eclipses.

Then, I go up to 3/29 and read across the date:

Sun 08° Aries, Moon 04° Aries, North Node 27° Pisces, Mercury 00° Aries, Venus 28° Pisces, Mars 23° Cancer, Jupiter 15° Gemini, Saturn 24° Pisces, Uranus 24° Taurus, Neptune 29° Pisces, Pluto 03° Aquarius

I can determine from this that the Sun and Moon are widely conjunct to Mercury, and that Venus, Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node are conjunct in Pisces but also trine to Mars in Cancer.

Never mind, that doesn't look like a great day for money magic to me - that's too many complicated energies involved!

Alternatively, if I want to cast a money spell when Jupiter in Gemini is trine to my natal Venus 14° Libra, I can go to the Venus section and scroll down until I find 14° - 3/18-3/25. This entire time shows when transiting Jupiter will be trine to my natal Venus to the degree. I might choose Friday (3/21) to cast the magic from there since it is Venus's day.
