MARS, the planet of ACTION: What type of exercise Mars in each sign makes me think of

Note: this is not necessarily advice about exercise to consider based on your Mars sign. So many things in the chart and the individual’s life will tweak the picture. Being that I’m a 6th house Mars who’s making it a goal lately to exercise daily (or most-daily😆) because I see the benefits for my mental and physical health of having intentional physical activity in my routine, this is just my musings on the type of exercise that comes to mind first/strongest when thinking about the archetypes of each sign. ✨

Mars in Aries- lifting weights/strength training 🏋️‍♀️ Mars at home! I thought about maybe also going with martial arts for this one! ❤️‍🔥 Mars/Aries does have a strong purpose for defense. As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries’ archetype is also that of a straightforward, more simple and direct energy. To simply get buff seems like quite the way to pay tribute to this potent combined yang energy! 💪

Mars in Taurus- Yoga 🧘🏽‍♂️ Taurus needs something at a bit slower of a physical pace, and the very conscientious attention yoga places on your relationship with your body is very Taurus/2nd house. Plus every Taurus rising I’ve ever known has been into meditation and/or yoga. 🤷‍♀️ Always looking for the calmest ways to do things! 🧘‍♀️

Mars in Gemini- Running 🏃🏻‍♀️ idk this just seems like a flighty Mars sign! 🏃‍♂️🚀💨

Mars in Cancer- In-home exercise, regardless of type, is what immediately comes to mind! Maybe a really pimped out Mars in Cancer would have an in-home pool.💧😂 🏊‍♀️🏠

Mars in Leo- Dancing! 💃🏻🕺🏼This is my Mars sign and never been a dancer, so this goes to show how I’m just thinking about the archetypes of the signs. But the Sun’s gotta shine/will get noticed 🌞 and dancing also is so highly CREATIVE. ♌️

Mars in Virgo- Gymnastics 🤸🏿‍♀️ I’m just so impressed with the precision♍️ in the routines of gymnasts. Perhaps Pilates is another example, that’s a little more common place. I personally avoid any exercise that requires attention to precise detail as it gets my Mars worked up in a bad way😤… so more power to anyone who’s built to like this type of exercise!

Mars in Libra- Ballet 🩰 The pure archetype of Libra is grace. Enough said.

Mars in Scorpio- whichever combat sport or martial art is the slyest. 😂 Mars at home I think could be quite motivated to be fighting somebody; but Scorpio’s gonna be concerned with technique, not in it to make a big bold scene. 🤺

Mars in Sagittarius- Hiking 🥾🌄🌲 Or biking! 🚴🏻‍♀️ The sign built for exploring. Hiking is always an adventure. You never quite know what you’ll see even when you’re hiking nature trails you’ve hiked before. And it tends to be a popular activity when visiting new places. ✈️

Mars in Capricorn- Climbing 🧗🏽‍♂️ Climbing has an obvious association with Capricorn. 🐐🌄 And Caps could always use inspiration to reach some pinnacle! 🙏 Also, fun fact, Saturn is the planet that rules the skeletal system and muscles in medical astrology. 🩻 Climbing works basically every muscle in your body!

Mars in Aquarius- some eccentric aerial sport. 😂 I don’t know much about anything in this area, I just know something that’s done in the air 🌬️ and something that’s unusual makes me think of Aquarius! ♒️

Mars in Pisces- Swimming 🏊‍♀️ I’m giving the final water💧sign, the one most like the vastness of the whole ocean, this official association with swimming. Related fun fact: my Piscean🌞 grandmother was the one who taught me how to swim (and was very delighted to do it). 💙

Bonus thoughts, from a Mars conjunct Venus: it’s really worth considering exercise that puts you in nature if you too have this conjunction, or Venus in harmonious aspect with Mars!🌲🌷 On this note, I’d think of Mars-Mercury being suited for things that are also exercise for the mind, Mars-Sun being suited for daytime outside exercise, Mars-Moon being a good fit for nighttime exercise, and exercise in new places or that doesn’t follow a set routine being suited for Mars-Jupiter!

𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂.

DESCRIPTION serra’s known for her endearing vlogs, capturing her seemingly perfect life and her imperfectly whimsical personality. she’s both warm and kind, often going out of her way to make others feel special. however, her insatiable need for validation drives her to seek constant approval, leading to grand gestures and an intense focus on impressing others. she’s fiercely loyal and nurturing to those close to her, but her sensitivity to criticism and inner struggles with inadequacy can lead to occasional outbursts. despite the confidence she projects, her sensitivity and need for affirmation often create inner turmoil within.

𝓫𝓲𝓸𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓱𝔂. ( tw: car accident, age gap, abuse mention )

HISTORY serra can hardly remember a life before the car accident that claims her parents. most of her memories begin when she enters the foster system, bouncing from one home to another and feeling like an outsider. school provides little refuge from a series of unstable and neglectful placements. never particularly successful in academics, popularity, or anything really... serra never quite fits in, sparking a deep sense of inadequacy and longing to be noticed. things begin to change when she hits puberty and people start calling her pretty. it’s a compliment that provides the validation she craves, driving a fifteen year old serra to embark on a dangerous hitchhike from georgia to los angeles with the hope of becoming famous and finally finding her place in the world. her career amounts to little more than catalog ads and bit parts. struggling to make ends meet, she marries a renowned director, overlooking the forty-year age gap for the promise of security. marriage doesn’t turn out the way she hoped when her husband reveals himself to be cruel, using his wealth to belittle and control her. perceived as nothing more than gold-digging clout-chaser, serra finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage, with few willing to befriend her, leaving her lonelier than ever. after three years of marriage, her husband is found dead in the pool. though officially declared an accidental drowning and serra is cleared of any wrongdoing, rumors spread. hurt by the judgment, serra capitalizes on the public's morbid curiosity and starts a youtube channel to reclaim her image. in 2021, she moves to new york city with two goals in mind: a fresh start and a true chance at forming genuine connections. TLDR growing up in foster care and never being particularly good at anything, serra relies on her looks and tries to make it as an actress/model. unsuccessful, she finds herself married to a wealthy, older man and isolated more than before. after his suspicious death, she moves to nyc for a fresh start. she has an enviable life and millions of followers, yet serra still grapples with the lifelong struggle of feeling like an outsider.

𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓬𝓪𝓷𝓸𝓷𝓼.

she doesn't really like to talk about her past much and tends to lie about it.

she's lowkey kinda clumsy and delightfully awkward and while she gets painfully embarrassed, she's got a great sense of humor about it

serra has turned her home into a small zoo. her collection is growing but currently includes: three dogs, two cats, four rabbits, three guinea pigs, two turtles, two large fish tanks (home to axolotls), one iguana, three geckos, a chameleon, a python, a tarantula, six birds, and a capuchin monkey named oliver.

serra loves grand romantic gestures and has been known to love bomb

self-taught herself piano as a "parlor trick" to entertain guests during parties. though, she prefers the keyboard because it allows her to be more creative.

ive never really bothered to check out any of the homestuck rpg projects. tbh i already have the perfect homestuck rpg system in my mind. i feel like the extended zodiac lends itself really well to an rpg system where you like pick a caste and an aspect and then you get a pool of caste abilities and aspect abilities and then maybe one or two unique abilities to your sign. and then i guess you could pick a class too but obviously there would be certain caste advantages in that department, like a rustblood is most suited to playing a maid and bronze to be a page and so forth. like my point being that the extended zodiac is a really good example of how you could have your cake and eat it too in terms of a homestuck rpg that can appeal both to people who wanna roleplay fantrolls AND people who want a sburb-type system without every game necessarily having to be a session of sburb. basically all we're missing for this kind of game at this point is like, a table of lusii which you can have in each caste. anyway

Magic Inspiration Tag

I was tagged by @i-can-even-burn-salad, thanks Elli 💜

Gonna leave as an Open Tag, have at it, friends!

Rules—share the inspiration/s for the magic system in your WIP

Oh lord.

For inspiration... I'm a lifelong fantasy reader and fantasy rpg player, so it's a little hard to single out.

I can credit the Zodiac Academy books for the way my elemental magic usage has expanded, and Brandon Sanderson for his lovely rules of magic and my desire to attempt a hard magic system (at which I only partially succeeded).

There are two magic systems in the Shattered Series world (which includes Hidden Depths, my tumblr whump story)

Elemental and a separate, structured magic system.

Elemental

This is used as more of an ability inherent to each race based on which elemental god parented which species. Which I, for a long time, declined to think of as magic, but while it may be normal for each respective species... it's totally magic 😅

This is my soft magic system. There are *some* rules, but not many, and they are fairly malleable, which suits me for this particular world.

I can't really point to a specific thing that inspired the creation of this system. I think I just don't see a lot of elemental magic outside of weather magic, and I wanted to play with that. The books I mentioned above were helpful in the ways that I could have the elements used.

Elements used are: air, water, fire, earth, and aether

Magic

This was my attempted hard magic system. Users are mages, and manifest their magic somewhere between adolescence and early adulthood.

As for what's included... I kinda took a mix of things I like, healing magic, mind magic like telekinesis, protective magic, and just built a class for each thing and gave it rules. I've been told it's very reminiscent of rpg video game magic, which uh, *looks at my two vague inspiration claims above*, yeah, sounds about right lol.

Anyways, I would say it ended up as more of a medium magic system, if that's even a thing lol. There are... interpretations of the magic rules that aren't explicitly written, which I do follow, but aren't. Written. So, uh. Yeah.

I do try to update them if they change XD

The system is under the cut, in case anyone is curious... it's super long, fair warning lol

Magic/Mages

Magic comes from an internal Source. A person becomes a mage by Manifesting, which is when the Source becomes available for use. The Source is akin to a pool of power/magic that matures over the course of a few years after Manifestation. Humans, Seraph and Fae can Manifest magic.

Magic is usually genetic, but can appear spontaneously or be granted by Reyanel, the god of magic. Magic is separated into classes. Classes are separated into levels, depending upon the amount of power available and achievable abilities. Higher-level abilities use more power than lower-level abilities.

A mage may choose to train or apprentice with another trained mage or may attend a school of magic. There are no more schools in the human realm.

Manifestation of Magic

Magic commonly Manifests in early adulthood, but rare cases of Manifestation in adolescence or middle age have occurred.

Manifestation causes a glowing ring to form around the iris of the eyes, which can last for up to two days. The color of the glow indicates class.

After Manifestation, a mage's eyes will glow when using their magic. The strength of the glow is dependent on how much magic is being used. A low-level ability uses very little magic, and the glow would be mostly undetectable. A high-level ability will produce a glow strong enough to light up a room.

Magical classes

Abilities within class vary depending on strength of Source. Rarely does someone have access to more than one class.

Level 1 and 2 mages are largely self-taught. A higher-level mage will need guidance to learn how to use high-level abilities effectively and safely.

Level 3 mages have Sight

There are varying strengths within each class. A mage could be classified as a weak level 2 Architect. This mage would have access to level 2 abilities, but wouldn’t have the stamina (amount of magic) available that a strong level 2 architect would have.

Mages with Sight can See a glow or aura indicating class around other mages. With more concentration and direct contact, a mage with Sight can determine a mage’s level as well.

Any level mage can channel magic to others of the same class to augment another mage’s strength, although the other mage cannot access abilities they do not normally have access to. This is easier within the same class, or between certain classes.

A mage with multiple classes will have a layered glow/aura. Each class will have separate Sources and levels.

Ex. An Empath Healer can have level 5 healing abilities with level 3 empath abilities

Healer – green aura/glow

Level 1 – affinity to plants, ability to infuse a small amount of magic into specific plants (unlike human ability growth, which has an area effect), helping them grow faster and be more effective, heals self of minor illness or wounds faster than normal

Level 2 – ability to infuse remedies with power, making them more effective (healing brews)

Level 3 – ability to See and heal minor ailments, gain magical Sight

Level 4 – ability to heal self of moderate illness or wounds, ability to heal more complex wounds or illness of others

Level 5 – ability to heal major wounds/illness, even fatal ones if caught quickly, ability to harm others with healing magic

*Healers have innate desire to practice their craft, can sense when someone in their proximity needs healing

*self-healing can occur without the healer actively directing it or with active direction if trained.

Empath – yellow aura/glow

Level 1 – ability to sense surface emotions of others

Level 2 – ability to sense deeper emotions of others with physical contact

Level 3 – ability to transmit/affect emotions of a small number of people, ability to sense deeper emotions without physical contact, gain magical Sight

Level 4 – ability to distinguish truth from lie, ability to transmit emotions/affect emotions is stronger and can affect more people

Level 5 – ability to see memories and heal emotional trauma, ability of compulsion

*Empaths abilities often activate (link to the Source) without conscious effort. High emotions in an empath activate a link to the Source automatically. Empaths especially need extra training to control this response.

*Even without accessing their Source, Empaths are more sensitive to the emotions of those around them.

*Level 5 empaths feel compelled to work in a healing capacity, similar to the Healer compulsion to heal.

Architect – orange aura/glow

Level 1 – ability to infuse normal items with magic, making them stronger

Level 2 – ability to manifest small items from magic, like cups, utensils, bricks

Level 3 – ability to manifest larger items from magic, like pipes, clothing. Ability to infuse items with magic (normal items or magical items) to give them a specific function, ex. Globes that glow with light, a series of pipes that run hot or cold water, items that can retain heat or cold, communication items. Gain magical Sight

Level 4 – ability to manifest larger items from magic, like furniture

Level 5 – ability to manifest larger items from magic, like buildings or bridges

*Items manifested magically are stronger and shimmer

Artificer – red aura/glow

Level 1 – ability to create reservoirs for magic, ability to channel Level 1 abilities into an artifact

Level 2 – ability to channel Level 2 abilities into an artifact

Level 3 – ability to channel Level 3 abilities into an artifact, gain magical Sight

Level 4 – ability to channel Level 4 abilities into an artifact

Level 5 – ability to channel Level 5 abilities into an artifact

*Artifacts are magically created by the Artificer, can take any shape or size, and can be used by anyone

*Reservoirs can be filled with energy from a mage’s Source to be used for later. The higher the level of Artificer, the stronger the reservoir.

*Architects' magic cannot be channeled into an artifact

Kinetic – purple aura/glow

Level 1 – ability to levitate small objects with magic

Level 2 – ability to teleport small objects with magic

Level 3 – ability to levitate larger items or people with magic, gain magical Sight

Level 4 – ability to teleport larger items with magic

Level 5 – ability to teleport self, distance related to strength of Source

*Levitation of items related to Source strength, the higher the level the heavier the object the mage is able to lift, the higher the level the longer the mage can lift something (depending on weight)

*Teleportation distance of objects related to Source strength, the higher the level, the farther the mage is able to teleport the item.

*A Kinetic cannot teleport live cargo. A Kinetic cannot teleport other people or animals. However, an Artificer can make an artifact with Kinetic power that can teleport live cargo.

Guardian – blue aura/glow

Level 1 – ability to increase strength and endurance

Level 2 – ability to heighten natural senses, sight, hearing, etc.

Level 3 – ability to increase natural healing speed, gain magical Sight

Level 4 – ability to create a magical shield to protect self/small group from harm

Level 5 – ability to create a larger magical shield to protect self and/or others from harm

*Guardians have a strong sense of right and wrong. They have a natural inclination to protect and can sense when protection is needed.

Magical Replenishment or Suppression

Replenishment – Time will replenish, although less time is needed if the mage is well fed/well rested. Exposure to a race’s natural element will speed replenishment (humans-earth, seraph-air/wind, fae-magic). Can also use shibella, an herb ground then mixed in any liquid for replenishment. No specific taste but does cause a tingling sensation on the tongue.

Suppression of aura – Something to suppress aura/eyes lighting up but still able to use abilities. Orbenith, a mushroom found in underground cave regions, ground into a powder and mixed in liquid or chewed whole. Side effects include nausea, brain fog, mood swings, some users may experience some difficulty using abilities. Side effects decrease with repeated use.

Suppression of abilities – Something to suppress abilities altogether. Canthite, a mineral recently discovered in the mountains of southern Elysia. Can be used in a variety of ways.

Permanent suppression of abilities – appeal to Reyanel, god of magic, to pass judgement upon misuse.

Cost of using magic

Using too much power (all at once or over a long period of time) causes fatigue, headaches, nausea, fainting

Using all the magic in the Source leaves the mage drained. Trained mages will stop using magic right before this happens, as draining the Source can cause extreme weakness and can sometimes lead to extended periods of unconsciousness.

Mages can train to continue functioning after draining their Source, but only the Guardian class have been very effective at managing it.

Excerpt: Three Worlds of Man

Spiritual truth is so subtle that it is difficult to translate into material words and concepts. The frontal mind of man is inclined to confine ideas into compartments and pigeonholes, and in so doing can miss their subtle essence. The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life; this is certainly true in the study of astrology. Many clearly demonstrable facts prove its efficacy, but just as many interesting side-tracks can lure the student into a maze, in which he can wander for years without getting anywhere near the truth.

Pythagoras taught that the planetary spirits resided not in the bodies of the planets themselves but in the planetary intervals. Medieval philosophers, in their studies of the human brain, all agreed that the part which was responsive to the impress of the soul was not the physical brain cells themselves but the cavities or ventricles in the brain. Alan Leo states that the element Air, being all-pervasive, is the most subtle and therefore the most responsive to the impress of pure spirit. The alchemists believed that within the ventricles in the human brain a subtle interchange of the spiritual and physical airs takes place, an absorption of the divine breath. The human skull in the ancient teachings is often likened to the sphere of the earth or the sphere of the universe, and in symbolic language and pictures they depict the seven planetary angels or seven stars residing within the earth or within the human brain.

A number of diagrammatic drawings by mediaeval students of alchemy show the human head with three circles or centres of consciousness. The frontal centre is to be considered with the five senses and the nervous system, all under the control of the frontal mind. In the natal horoscope this frontal mind with the physical organism is shown by the Ascendant and by the balance of the elements in the chart. The four elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water, with a fifth element, ether, more subtle than the rest, and pervading all the others, have always been considered to be linked with the five senses of man.

From the above the student will begin to realise the importance of the Ascendant and the balance of elements in the nature which allows the planetary spirits, through their rulership of the signs, to direct the pattern of the karma of the physical life. These planetary angels are believed to work through the hidden zodiac within the soul of man bearing the imprint of the whole of the past.

In a general sense the frontal mind which governs physical action and creates the personality, is under the rulership both of the Moon and Mars. The subconscious part of the brain including the cerebellum, which controls the sympathetic nervous system, comes chiefly under the rulership of Mars; but both these planets are deeply involved in the birth, death and reproduction of the physical vehicle.

Behind the frontal mind is what we may term ‘the soul mind’, or the centre of imagination and reflection. This, too, is ruled by the Moon. It is the gateway to the inner worlds to which we withdraw in sleep or meditation and which we perceive at times of great artistic or mental inspiration. When we are imprisoned in a physical body the consciousness swings between the phases of the Moon. The times when the frontal brain is extremely active can be likened to the full Moon and the times of sleep or withdrawal to the new Moon, when the earth is dark, but the Moon is in conjunction with the Sun and both soul and body are being renewed or revitalised. From ancient times the period of the new Moon has been recognised as a time of new beginnings.

The Moon has close connection with the element Water which also symbolises the soul. It is not surprising, therefore, that in meditation White Eagle teaches his pupils as a first step to withdraw from the frontal mind and to sit in imagination by a still pool on which gradually the white lotus flower opens. When, by the exercise of the will, man consciously releases himself from the frontal mind and becomes absolutely still, then the soul mind can become active. The light of heaven can be reflected in this still water, and the planetary angels can lift the soul into a consciousness of its true destiny. The whole purpose of physical incarnation is for the soul to expand in consciousness to an ever-greater awareness of God, to the point where it can express divine wisdom, power and love through physical matter.

Even deeper within the brain lies the centre which is under the command of the sun or the divine self. This is hidden so deeply that it can only be reached through the attunement of the soul vehicle to the divine self. When the outer mind and emotions are held absolutely still the soul will be able to rise as on a shaft of light, up to a golden mountain, into the sun, and to worship there. By spiritual training and discipline the soul in incarnation is enabled to make the most of the opportunities presented by the physical life, and to learn the lesson indicated by the zodiacal position of the Sun in the horoscope and the planetary aspects thereto.

The centre of solar consciousness, so deeply hidden within the brain, is closely connected with the heart, which is the true solar centre. White Eagle teaches his students that they must learn to use what he calls ‘the mind in the heart’, for it is only through this heart consciousness that the soul can become aware of the true solar ray which is the source of its being.

This is why, when patients seek spiritual healing, White Eagle encourages them to still the fretful, worrying outer mind, and become still in their soul. Then only can they begin to feel the radiance of the spirit which resides in the heart. When the clamour of the outer self is stilled, the solar self illumines the whole consciousness. Then true healing takes place; for once the lunar self is still and focused on the inner light it absorbs and reflects the radiance of the spiritual Sun, the source of life and being of that soul.

This light can only come into physical manifestation through perfect polarisation of the lunar self with the solar self. When the full Moon reflects the Sun, the earth is illumined. In the same way, when the soul makes true contact with the source of its being, the body is illumined and inharmonies fall away. This is what Jesus meant when he said, I and my Father are one . . . I am the resurrection, and the life. I AM the resurrection, and the life.

The mystery writings of ancient religions often referred to the heart centre as a cave wherein dwelt the holy of holies. In some religions it is regarded as the holy city — the new Jerusalem of the Christian mysteries, the Mecca of Islam, the Benares of the Hindus. Always this city has to be approached by a pilgrimage.

The difficulties and trials the soul endures during its incarnation eventually force it to cry out for God and consciously to set forth on this journey, wonderfully described in Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. The path and the end are always the same — the climb up the rocky mountain, the process of purification, often through pain — either physical, mental or emotional, according to the element which is being mastered — and finally the admittance into the heart’s cave where the light burns and the glorious unseen Presence waits.

Because of the close link of the solar force with the physical body and the desire nature shown by the Sun’s exaltation in Aries, it was recognised in the mystery teachings that until the soul begins to yearn for light and starts the spiritual pilgrimage, the desire nature, with its headstrong wilfulness, passion and egotism crowds out the little light - the child of the Sun. The heart centre of the soul living only for itself is crowded - there is ‘no room in the inn’. Then through some bitter sorrow or denial of desire, the soul begins to yearn for God and seeks spiritual help, and in so doing becomes dimly aware of the divinity within the heart. As it learns to watch for the light that shines in darkness, to listen for this inner voice, the Word of God, gradually the soul discovers the small cave or sanctuary in the heart, from which all intruders are shut out. This is the purpose of the true meditation; and it is what humanity is reaching out for as the Aquarian Age, in which man will begin to realise his own divinity, approaches.

During any one of the sidereal Ages, two signs, not one, influence humanity. The sign through which the vernal equinox is actually passing exerts a powerful influence on the outer life of humanity, but the opposite sign, its polarity, is the one which affects the inner life most strongly. Always there is this reflection from heaven to earth, and this being so, from earth to heaven. Because Leo is the sign opposite to Aquarius and rules the heart, much more will be understood about the true function of the heart centre during the coming age. It is interesting that so much attention has centred upon heart transplants in recent years. When man is ready to understand the secret of life there will be no need for heart transplants because he will learn how to awaken the solar self to bring about his own healing. He will realise something of the secret magic of the solar consciousness.

The resurgence of interest in astrology is a necessary part of humanity’s progress towards enlightenment, for true astrology is the science of religion, the science of the soul. Understanding of the planetary forces playing on the soul and of the soul’s lesson in incarnation, can be a great help to those seeking spiritual unfoldment. The soul lesson is shown primarily by the element of the sign in which the Sun is placed at birth.

To understand why this should be, let us trace the path of the soul from death to rebirth. During earthly life the soul is imprisoned in the physical consciousness, the five senses of the body. This is related to the rising sign and the balance of elements in the birth chart. It is permeated by the lunar or soul consciousness, often referred to as the personality. During waking hours this consciousness is focused in the physical brain, but during sleep it functions in this soul world, and at death the personality or lunar self withdraws from physical matter but lives in a soul body, vitalised by the solar, the true self, on the astral and mental planes.

In due time comes the urge to withdraw into the solar or celestial world. At this stage, described by Arthur Conan Doyle as the second death, the soul releases itself from all entanglements of the astral and lower mental planes and withdraws into the sphere of the sun where the higher self can review the whole panorama of past experience. It can see the pattern and the purpose of its many lives on earth. In this heavenly stage it realises the planetary ray necessary for the next stage of the soul’s development.

As the soul incarnates under each of the planetary rays, through the signs of the zodiac, it gradually builds for itself the seven bodies or vehicles it needs to function with mastery on every plane of being.

At the moment it is ready and wills to function once more through a physical body, the ray of the solar self shines into the darkness of matter and the conception of the physical body takes place. This is the moment when the planetary spirits are in the right relationship and gather round to build the foetus, which will be born when the position of the Sun gives the planetary ray required. By an exact and unerring law the chosen parents are irresistibly drawn together at the right time also. The laws which govern this are beyond the comprehension of man’s finite mind. They are under the direction of the angels of karma.

According to the sign in which the Sun is placed, the soul is learning the lesson of the planetary ruler of that sign, the real work of the incarnation being to strengthen and develop the soul vehicle of that particular plane. All the diverse experiences of the incarnation contribute to the learning of this lesson which is indicated by the quality and element of the Sun sign at birth.

BIOGRAPHY

EARLY BEGINNINGS

Aurelia was born on May 7, 1993 in Toronto, Canada to their two loving parents. Though they didn't have much, the loving parents were hard workers and they tried their best to give their children the life they deserved. When Relia was 4, they welcomed their little sister, Bambi, into the world and the two quickly became thick as thieves

However, on quite a few occasions, the sisters were found to be unsupervised due to their parents' busy work schedule so eventually, they were put into the foster care system. Even though the system tried to split them up, the sisters desperately clung to one another and they were finally allowed to go to the same foster family

At first, their foster family had seemed so kind and caring. Aside from Aurelia and Bambi, they'd also taken in another child, Pixie Chia. They all became very close and for a while, everything was perfect. However, that moment quickly ended when Aurelia was 17

First, Pixie was sold to a 'family friend,' forced into a treacherous cycle of abuse. Next, in return for trying to protect their sister, their foster parents drowned Bambi in the pool. Aurelia watched their sister die right in front of their eyes and they had been powerless to stop it. When Relia tried to run away, their parents had the police track them down with a sob story that their mentally ill daughter had run away after discovering that their sister had tragically drowned in a terrible accident. To ensure that Aurelia would keep their mouth shut, the couple paid off a doctor to falsely diagnose them as 'mentally unstable' before shipping them off to Manchester, England

When they arrived in Manchester, they were taken in by a foster family that actually did care about them but they had a difficult time trusting them or anyone else for that matter. Given that they were medically labeled as 'mentally unstable,' no one listened to them when they tried to insist that their old foster family had sold off one child and murdered another

Once Relia turned 18, they left the system, even though their foster mum in Manchester tried to stay in touch with them. One of the first things they did once they left their foster home was make an appointment with a psychiatrist to set their record straight. While the psychiatrist did in fact clear them of being 'mentally unstable' and being in a rational state, Aurelia was subsequently diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and CPTSD, though they knew they couldn't afford to do anything about it

A NEW FOUND FAMILY

Soon after getting out of foster care, Aurelia fell into a rather dangerous crowd--or at least, a crowd that was deemed dangerous by society's standards. It was a gang called the Vipers. The members were similar to themselves--a lot of them had been in foster care, they'd been fucked over by the system, and they were angry, just like Aurelia. However, they were welcomed and after everything that had happened, the finally felt like they'd found their people and they were eager to be a part of something

Oddly enough, they also found love in the most unexpected of places. They'd met another member, a woman named Seraphim, and they'd fallen in love. Sure, they raised hell and scared the locals by day but at night, Aurelia would hold Sera in their arms and they'd dream about a future together, some place that was better than where they'd currently found themselves. Just like before, just as everything was starting to feel perfect, it ended abruptly

Trouble with a rival gang had sprung up and it had started to get violent. One day, Relia got caught in the crossfire, quite literally. An argument had escalated and suddenly, Sera found herself staring down the barrel of a gun. They couldn't watch this happen, not again. After all, they hadn't been able to protect Bambi but maybe they'd be damned if they watched another loved one die. Stupidly, Relia stepped between Sera and the gun, trying to prove their bravery and protect their love. But the person on the other side of the gun was gutsy, too, and was willing to prove it. In a display that showed they weren't fucking bluffing, the gunman shot both Aurelia and Sera right there. The last thing Relia remembered was looking over at Sera as they lay on the ground, quickly bleeding out

A ROTTEN START

The first thing Aurelia registered was that they were not where they'd been before. Just looking up at the harsh lights, the could feel in their bones that they were no longer in Manchester. They didn't even know how long they were in that cold and sterile place--it felt like forever. What they did know was that they could only remember bits and pieces of what had happened before. They could see it in their head: a gun, all that blood, Sera. There was a scar on their chest, right over their heart that was sensitive to the touch, the only physical remnant of what happened to them before

By the time they finally got out of there, they found themselves wandering through the vastness of Alaska, going from town to town, working one odd job to the next, until they found their way to Anchorage. It didn't matter where they went, anyways--they knew someone always had eyes on them, keeping track of them, giving them instructions whenever it was deemed necessary

What happened to Aurelia some might call a 'new lease on life.' They personally felt as if they were a monster who was ready to go into a radge at any moment--however, this new life sentence also came with it's perks. The moment Relia had woken up, they'd felt different. Suddenly, they knew things--they knew things that they shouldn't. Or they knew that certain things were going to happen before they did. Whatever these people had done to Aurelia, making them a tool to use for whatever they wished, they'd also given them a gift--the gift of knowing

As they adjusted to their new life, they became more in touch with spirituality--it seemed only right, given that, even in such a fucked up situation, they had been given a second chance and it needed to be appreciated. Though they'd never been religious or spiritual before, they decided to become a witch and work spiritual practices into their every day life

Though they made some good friends, they kept to themselves a lot, still unable to trust anyone. In fact, it even took a long time for them to trust Cyrek, someone who was now one of their closest friends and confidants

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS

In the past five years, Aurelia has really come into their own and started to heal from everything they'd been through. They are now a proud owner of not one but two businesses: Relia is a wedding planner and they own their own metaphysical shop, Aurelia's Trance, where they do tarot readings

They were able to reunite with their long lost sister, Bambi, who seems to have the same affliction as Aurelia. The sisters were able to grow close again, though Relia still blames themselves for what happened to Bambi. They were also able to reunite with their sister, Pixie. All three sisters are as thick as thieves once more and Aurelia has vowed that they will never lose them again

Once Aurelia was able to remember more of what happened back in Manchester, they were able to confirm that Sera did in fact die that day. Though it's become more bearable over the years, Aurelia is still heartbroken over the loss of their first love

Last year, Relia finally opened themselves up to someone else and began to date Andrea Weber. However, soon after things began to get serious, Aurelia cut it off, afraid to open themselves up like that to someone again. With little to no explanation, Relia ended it and spent the next year avoiding Andrea wherever they went, unable to face her. However, Aurelia is still in love with her and wants to find a way to fix things, they're just scared

Over all, Aurelia is a very kind and caring person but they're also very closed off and do not trust others easily
