White Moon Selena through signs

White Moon Selena, often overlooked in astrology, is a powerful and positive force in your natal chart. While Black Moon Lilith represents challenges and temptations, Selena symbolizes protection, guidance, and beneficial energy. As the Moon's perigee, Selena points to areas where you feel intuitively guided and supported. Mythologically, Selena is the Moon goddess, bringing light and protection. Unlike Lilith’s dark, rebellious nature, Selena represents our highest, most idealized self, helping to heal and balance Lilith’s influence. In essence, Selena embodies truth, light, positive past deeds, and spiritual protection. She marks where you feel blessed and intuitively guided, counterbalancing Lilith’s challenges. Working with Selena can bring clarity and purpose, guiding you on your soul’s journey and helping you heal Lilith’s darker aspects. Ultimately, a strong White Moon Selena provides a profound sense of purpose, and embracing this path brings clarity and alignment with your true self and life mission. Astrologically, Selena shows where you connect deeply with the universe, operating beyond fear and doubt. Important aspects (conjunction, square, opposition) with an orb within 1 degree are key to understanding her influence. To calculate your natal Selena use astro.com, the code for it is h56.

Your optimism and unwavering sense of purpose make you a source of hope and encouragement, especially for those who are vulnerable or facing challenges. Your nurturing instincts extend to those under your care, and you possess a remarkable ability to overcome obstacles, inspiring others to persevere alongside you.

Embrace activities that involve fire, such as enjoying a fireplace at home, to purify your thoughts and energize your spirit.

Your previous experiences have equipped you for spiritual conflicts, fortifying your spirit through formidable trials.

You uplift others with your broad perspective and profound belief in the significance of existence. Your character radiates generosity, independence, and a profound affinity for nature and animals. You may have a history of roles as spiritual mentors or trailblazers in introducing fresh ideas and beliefs. Your unwavering optimism and commitment to integrity illuminate your path, encouraging a spirit of adventure and learning. Remember to prioritize physical well-being and stay engaged in spiritual and intellectual pursuits to nourish your journey.

WHM in Capricorn

You live a life guided by balance and harmony, deriving fulfillment from diligent effort and perseverance. You shine in roles that demand responsibility, persistence, and a methodical approach. Your interests may lean towards fields like history, geology, or archaeology, reflecting a deep appreciation for enduring and stable environments. Cultivate your connection to the earth element through peaceful moments of solitude, meditation, or by surrounding yourself with natural stones and landscapes that resonate with you.

WHM in Aquarius

You cherish the freedom to explore unique perspectives and progressive concepts, finding inspiration in fields such as psychology, sociology, and pioneering sciences. Your commitment to fostering friendships and solidarity is a cornerstone of your character, as you ignite social change and cultivate a strong sense of community among those who share your values. It's essential to strike a harmonious balance between independence and connection: while you thrive in the realm of ideas and innovation, remember to nurture your warmth towards others and avoid distancing yourself too much.

WHM in Pisces

You have a keen intuition that helps you sense subtle energies and gain insights that others might miss. Your compassionate nature drives you to offer help willingly to those in need. You naturally embody sacrifice and selflessness, which could lead you towards professions in fields like medicine, psychology, or the occult sciences. It's important to be mindful of maintaining healthy boundaries to protect your spiritual and creative energies, preventing any potential exploitation due to your caring disposition.

I'm bored so here's my favorite type of each pokemon character (I will probably draw these later!)

By "type of character" I'm referring to story wise. Examples are Rivals, Professors, Gym Leaders ect!

Professor🌱:

Probably going to have to go with Juniper! I don't care much for the professors but bw2 were my first games so strong bias towards her!

Rival💥:

This time it's not bias, I just adore Hugh. He's a stern mess and I love it. Made him and my insert oc besties because again bw2 were my first games!

Gym Leader💪:

This one was a bit tougher. I have a few. If I had to choose I do adore Roxie's aesthetic, that and Scolipede is my 2nd favorite bug type. Runner ups would be Skyla, Valerie, Piers, or Gordie.

Trial Captain🐾:

Mina hands down. No explanation.

Kahuna🌺:

Hapu surprisingly. Nanu is close but I just adore Hapu and her Mudsdale!

Evil Team Admin🥀:

Another tough one 😭 I can't pick between Plumeria and Tabitha. I love them sm equally so I'm gonna let this tie slide.

Evil Team Leader☠️:

... Guzma. Duh.

Elite Four Member💫:

None of the elite four members really stick out in my mind. Drasna is probably my favorite, she reminds me of Hiccup's mom.

Champion✨️:

I might get backlash for this but Iris. I'm a little gen 5 bias I'm sorry, but like Iris is adorable and silly. Cynthia and Diantha are close runner ups though!

Main Protagonist❤️:

Selene, mostly because I had a huge sun and moon phase in middle school and Selene's blank stare was just funny to me.

Sorry if I missed any character tropes in pokemon 😭 I didn't know what category to put them in!! And my tastes change a lot so who knows, maybe this will be outdated soon lol.

[cjcroen1393]

Updated Protagonists: Here

Unused Protagonists: You are here!

Updated Rivals: Part one here, part two here

Here’s the next part of these Pokemon LGBTQ+ headcanons I like to do. The protagonists I didn’t use because I still like to think they exist in each game to some capacity, even if we don’t see them (should I feel bad that I don’t pick the girls that often? I mean I’m a dude so I guess it should kind of be expected that I usually pick the guy characters, but like... given the way I play the games I can see why some folks would see it as a bit uneven).

I also did ones for Elaine and Akari, but I’m not posting those right now because I’m actually undecided on them.

I actually don’t have much to say on this one. Uh... next is the actual rivals?

♇ before we expand about the planetary joys placements, we need to understand what it is about.

The Sea And Her Child

AO3

“...Hey. Hey, you alright?”

Selene looks up. Opposite of her, Edér is leaning all the way across the table, to the point of being awkwardly close. The sudden eye contact seems to startle him; he rapidly pulls back, but then collects himself.

“Are you alright?” she asks.

“Yeah, sorry about that. You were making that - ” he waves a hand in the air - “soul-staring face, but you were just looking down at the table.” His expression becomes suspicious. “...There isn’t someone in there, right?”

Selene checks.

“There isn’t.”

“Whew. Would’ve been awkward.” 

His thoughts are somewhat cloudy, stumbling over each other. So are Kana’s. Aloth’s asleep; Sagani has drunk about as much as each of them, but she’s much clearer. Devil, for obvious reasons, isn’t drunk at all.

Selene skims surface thoughts, catching up on what happened in the last few minutes. Kana and Sagani are still talking; Devil’s bored, amusing herself by putting things in and taking things out of Kana’s pockets. Edér zoned out of the conversation a while ago, then noticed her not moving and spent the last few seconds trying to understand whether she’s conscious.

In the background, the singer of the Gréf’s Rest is performing what’s either the only song she knows, or the only song the patrons here want to hear.

“The sea beheld her love…”

Selene takes a sip from her own tankard. It’s just water. Being drunk makes the voices much worse.

“I’m fine, Edér,” she says. “Just thinking about - ”

“Ondra?”

“That too.”

“You can tak about it, you know,” he says. “It helps. I’ve tried to wrap my head around the whole Eothas thing for ages before talking it out with you, and… Well, can’t say I have it all figured out, but it’s better.”

“I’ll… keep that in mind.”

“Maybe don’t talk about it to Durance, though,” Edér adds. “I don’t think I want to see him that happy.”

Selene chuckles.

“I’m with you on that.”

“And all who saw her grief that day…”

The tune, which she didn’t mind that much in their first days in the inn, is definitely becoming grating now. It’s a shame, because the singer’s voice is beautiful, but the repetition strips a lot of the charm away - and with the sense of wonder gone, the song just reminds Selene of the entirety of this last week.

Voices screaming in flooded tunnels. A hike in the show, weaving between a giant’s bones. Everything she was trying to escape crashing down like a wave, as if nothing she did ever mattered; as if the years of running away were just stalling before the inevitable happened.

Cold water rising, rising, rising around her.

“I just wish they’d play another song,” Selene murmurs.

And then the idea comes. She reaches for the backpack tucked firmly under her seat and pulls out her journal; a weathered thing that contains mostly half-drawn maps and short notes, its more densely written pages filled with Lady Webb’s hand, not her own.

Selene tears out a page and begins scribbling on it.

“Excuse me.”

The brightly dressed, dark-haired and dark-skinned singer glances up at her. She’s a young woman, and one of the few people in town Selene has seen with visible jewelry. She’s a musician by trade; her thoughts are melodic, but structured. That’s as much as Selene knows about her.

“I don’t think we’ve met,” Selene says. “What’s your name?”

“Leah,” the singer says. “And you’re the Watcher. I’m… We’re all thankful for what you did here. Can I help you with anything?”

“Actually, yes.” Selene takes a deep breath. What she’s about to do is absolutely not her thing, but if she can do it without going deeper into the Leah’s mind, she will. “The song you always sing… Where I come from, it’s… different. I mean, we have a different version of it. The melody is the same, but we have different words.”

Leah patiently waits for her to finish stumbling through that sentence. Selene doesn’t sense hostility from her mind. At least there’s that.

“Can you sing our version, once?” Selene asks. “Just… for the occasion.”

“Sure,” Leah says. “What are the words?”

Selene hands her a folded piece of paper.

“Wait,” Kana says. “Is it just me, or…”

“Yup,” Devil says. “She learned a second song. That’s almost the same as the first one.”

Kana frowns.

“And the words… They sound an awful lot like - ”

“Like what really happened,” Selene says, taking a seat at the table again. “That’s because I gave her the words. I’m not a poet, but I think it gets the idea across.”

Devil gives her a look.

“Oh, so you do have a death wish. Good to know; I wasn’t sure after the caverns.”

“I wouldn’t put it like that,” Kana says, “But… Will the goddess of oblivion not… object to this, to say the least?”

“I don’t think so,” Selene says.

“Last time I checked, she was trying to drown us about it,” Edér points out.

“She was trying to drown me,” Selene corrects, “And I’m still there, so I think that maybe she wasn’t trying that hard. If she wanted the secret buried so badly, she would have killed us all, and without warning.”

“So you think she wants you to tell everyone?” Devil asks.

“No,” Selene says. “I just think she won’t mind this one song. It’s not going to spread to the whole world.”

“...Well, I’ve already written it down,” Kana says.

Selene just shrugs and leans back in her chair, drinking her water and listening to Leah’s voice as she sings:

The sea beheld her love

As he was struck from above;

She called out, “Back down”,

But he stayed and stood his ground.

Her love would not be swayed,

So he took a shard into his skull,

And all who saw his fall that day

Sleep in the silent sea.

And all who saw her grief that day

Sleep in the silent sea…

Maybe, Selene thinks, she is taunting Ondra again. Maybe that’s a terrible way to deal with what happened, and she should just take Edér’s advice and talk to someone.

But there’s a part of her that feels otherwise, and she suspects that it’s the part that still belongs to Ondra - even if Selene, and maybe even Ondra herself, is no longer happy about that. 

It’s funny; the more she despises Ondra, the easier it is to understand her. For all the talk of oblivion and casting memory into the sea, Ondra herself can never truly forget. If she wanted her crime to be forgotten, why build an abbey on Abydon’s bones? Why immortalize that crime in the flesh and blood of her godlike? 

Why let Selene live, again?

The only logical answer is that Ondra doesn’t want to forget. Or, at the very least, she wants somebody else - anybody else - to know what she did and why; and to know that she loved a person, not a stupid piece of rock.

Selene can understand that - and, silly as it seems, the song is the only way she can let Ondra know that she understands.

Lady Selene,

Goddess of

The Lunar Month

The Greek months start with the new moon and were then divided into three ten day periods. The first ten days were presided over by the waxing moon, the next ten were the near full and full moon, and the last ten was the waning moon. Festivals including the lucky and unlucky days of the month were measured in the cycles of the moon.

Evelyn-White. "Long-winged Meme... at eventime in the mid-month: then her great orbit is full and then her beams shine brightest as she increases. So she is sure token and a sign to mortal men" (Homeric Hymn, 32 to Selene: C7th- 4th B.C.)

Childbirth

Pregnancies were commonly measured in lunar months, so Lady Selene had a natural association with childbirth.

Timotheus. "Through the blue-black vault of the starts and of Selana who gives swift childbirth." (Campbell Vol. Greek Lyric V, Frag 803: C5th B.C.)

Dew

The moon was believed to nourish plants and animals with her dew. Lady Selene was associated with Ariadne, wife of Dionysus as the goddess of nourishing.

Cicero. "Luna the Moon's course also has a sort of winter and summer solstice; and she emits many streams of influence, which supply animal creatures with nourishment and stimulate their growth and which cause plants to flourish and attain maturity." (De Natura Deorum, 2.14: 45 B.C.)

and the Moon

Tryphiodorus. "When Mene (the Moon) [Selene], full with grey fire, gilds with her face the gleaming heaven: not when, sharpening her pointed horns, she first shines, rising in the shadowless dusk of the month, but when, orbing the round radiance of her eye, she draws to herself the reflected rays of the sun." (The Taking of Ilias, 514:C6th A.D.)

Who is Selene?
