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!

Hi, I'm the Taurus x Solar Flare anon from before, and I'm writing this essay because-

Okay but

Seeing a small group of people get my Solar x Taurus brainrot (Bullflare gives you wingssss /j /ref) is making me squee a little FINALLY MY VIRUS IS SPREADING MUHAHAHA I'm so happppyyyy P.S EVERY headcanon I've seen as of Jan 4th 2024 is very accurate

Here are some of my headcanons for the ship that lives in my brain:

Taurus was the first to fall in love, but at the time he ignored it because duty calls amiright? And that backfired so hard

Taurus originally revived Solar Flare to be an astral double agent, using their past kahoots with villains to gain trust (and intel) on dark star entities.

Flare and Taurus have a very analytical sort of work relationship at first because of this.

Taurus chose to revive Flare because according to Eclipse, "Flare didn't have very complex emotions, he was actually a pretty emotionally collected bastard" from what Eclipse could garner from his past selves memories. So Taurus thought "Ah, with Flare, we won't have a Lunar Incident™️ in which emotions get in the way of the main job" and boy did he jinx that

Flare and Taurus are both in an asexual relationship with eachother. They have a very vanilla fluffy relationship, ya know? It's a celestial entity and a 75%-sentient AI. They don't understand how to flirt, let alone sex stuff. (This is just my headcanons, you all can all do what you want with the pair tho! Go wild!)

Neither Flare or Taurus admitted or even recognized their feelings at first. Flare thought he had a system virus when his systems started overheating around Taurus lmao-

Taurus is recognized as the "protective one" in the relationship, but really, Flare would respectfully, calmly, and cordially break the kneecaps of whoever pissed off his astral bf

They both have a very low understanding of how to be flirty. As a result, they both have extremely negative rizz. It's cute tho

The first time they kissed, Flare accidentally kissed Taurus' beard.

Flare and Taurus give each other trinkets to awkwardly and silently proclaim their love.

Flare and Taurus almost never fight in their relationship. They love to peacefully settle squabbles with a well-thought out civil debate and they're the biggest two nerds I've ever seen kiss, your honor-

One of the things they love to debate about is the comparison of "Magic vs Technology"

EVERYONE KNEW about Flare and Taurus before those two ever knew. EVERYONE. And EEEEVERYONE tried to hint silently (or not so silently, Lunar was about to hang a big "KISS ALREADY YOU EMOTIONALLY CONFUSED KNUCKLEHEADS" poster)

Eff it, even the villains got in on the game. Even the VILLAINS saw how much those two were in denial

For a while it was a game to see how long those dumbasses took to recognize their feelings

It was a big "will-they-or-wont-they"

Gemini: "Oh no. The Celestial family and their emotional connection. It happened to you too?" Taurus: "... maybe."

Solar Flare and Taurus love to watch murder mysteries but always fall asleep before the end

They're both nerds and infodumping would absolutely be one of their love languages. They have no idea how to flirt so they try to win their love interest with information on electromagnetic fields-

Their love languages are also gift giving, sharing, and protection

When they become official, they also enjoy cuddling and kissing eachother wholesomely

Both of them would be the kind of person to try and win their bf a ridiculously sized stuffed animal at a rigged carnival game.

Taurus would be the kind to win by some incredibly slim chance because of strength or luck

and Flare would be the kind to extensively research carnival game winning statistics just to nurse his ego's wounds

Taurus: "First off, Flare is a very complex and passionate individual...." *giant wholesome infodump about everything he loves about Flare from his personality to his smarts to his deep dark pools of eyes*

Solar Flare: "My zodiac bf is buff and incredibly talented and I'm not quite sure how to efficiently process me deserving that that in my database. Proceeding code "Cry into a pillow'-

Taurus sometimes carries Solar Flare around in his arms

In an unpredicted but unsurprising turn of events, their emotional development and sentience kind came to be due to eachother

And tbh, if you edited the romantic parts, I could see those two as a QPR as well. Obviously these headcanons don't cover everything, nor are they "canon words" and you can do whatever you want

but TL:DR two emotionless stoics fall into love thanks to negative rizz and now are hilariously loyal to eachother and also lift mountains for their BFs. Now appearing in a romcom near you

I want to talk about this on my main blog so bad, but I've seen someone be hostile about the ship and I don't have energy for that now

BUT FINALLY. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MY SUSTENANCE. suuuustinenceeee

Well. Someone enjoys their little rare-pair, I see.

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. POSITIVE thoughtful, whimsical, hospitable, resilient, generous NEGATIVE sensitive, dramatic, secretive, clingy, clumsy LIKES throwing/attending parties, domestic + exotic pets, antique auctions, painting, art + lit history, fresh flowers, zooey deschanel, surprises, body worship, the look on someone's face after you do something nice for them DISLIKES too many questions, being left on read, any type of criticism, the smell of burnt toast, sushi (she just doesn't get the hype), quentin tarantino films, the 'big' holidays, pam from progressive, being photographed w/o permission

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

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.

Friday the 13th is surrounded by superstition as are Black Cats who have been widely considered to be bad luck. In fact, this can be inverted to mean the exact opposite!

Depending on your beliefs. At some point in the future I will go into the symbolism of different colored animals. Cats in particular have a pallet of archetypes all unique much like our zodiac system that attempts to sort humans into collective pools.

Ginger, Tabby, Calico, Tawny, Stripped, Spotted, Melanistic, Albino, Hairless, etc., the list is innumerable.

January 11, 2025 North/South Nodes enter Pisces/Virgo Messages for all Houses

As a Pisces Sun and Virgo ascendant, I’m going quiet for a moment on Saturday for this transition. With lunar nodes influencing my seventh house of partnership + connection (Pisces) and ascendant (Virgo), the energy feels like standing in the plunge pool of a waterfall. Water rushes to push me forth yet captures me in its cold cleansing hold.

Each sign in the zodiac has a dream to be fulfilled. Think of it as a subconscious energetic current. Depending on where you were dropped into this current at the time of your birth, you take on the influence of the current which flew through you.

The ultimate Piscean dream is to unify all the discrepancies along the zodiac members. The Fishes pair up in a mutable cycles, traversing fantasy and reality. In our modern age, I dare say that duality is most prevalent in our need to stay relevant, connected to society and each person’s need for a private, nurturing inner sanctum.

As the North Node arrives in Pisces, the time is ripe to honor the duality within you. But most importantly, honor how you touch others in the world.

For the next 18 months, wherever Pisces is in your natal chart, pay close attention to that area.

Ask yourself one specific question: where am I due to untangle my internal message to the world and by doing so, receive more inspiration from it?

First house: create and build your offerings not only for the world, but with it.

Second house: explore more ways to be flexible with your resources, but stash up for your bigger dreams.

Third house: it you’re used to communicating by studying external materials, see how you can supercharge them with a personal touch of your inner voice.

Fourth house: examine your origins, your roots, and what core values you have fortified for your life. See if they actually nurture and contribute that part of you that yearns to receive more from the outside world.

Fifth house: it feels good, isn’t it, to get a bit lost in a pleasure ride? Or just having uninterrupted time to enjoy your hobbies. Maybe there is room for these private endeavors to thrive in the larger reality of your life.

Sixth house: it’s time to transform your daily routine to serve and heal the innermost chambers of your identity. This includes work, your caretaking duties, your own health, and let’s not forget your pets. If your days feel inundated with obligations, give them a shakeup by incorporating small, doable creative tweaks.

Seventh house: Ah, a call to commune with your inner circle—loved ones and your spirit team. Each has a specific knowledge or lesson to carry you forth this transit. Set down your defenses and let them flow through you.

Eighth house: The stuff you bury at night, let them emerge and soften your edges. Taboos are just another route to liberation. Travel well, set them free. If you’re curious about the occult, magic, and riskier connection to the other side, light a candle to tether your soul and then let go.

Ninth house: Question your belief system. Determine which elements serve you and get more in tune with their structure. Pair up in your study and amidst research, you might stumble a collective truth that acts as a launchpad for your ideas.

How to Maintain Your MagnaPool for Crystal-Clear Water?

Does your MagnaPool water look less than perfect? Are you wondering how to maintain the right balance of minerals? Or perhaps you’re searching for a reliable pool service near me to keep things simple? If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. While maintaining a MagnaPool may seem challenging at first, with the right tips and tools, it’s easy to keep your pool sparkling, healthy, and ready to enjoy all year round.

What Makes a MagnaPool Unique?

Unlike traditional pools, MagnaPool uses magnesium-based minerals to clean and sanitize the water. This not only reduces the need for harsh chemicals but also creates a softer, more luxurious swimming experience that’s gentle on your skin and eyes.

If you want to continue enjoying these benefits, regular maintenance is a must. Whether you’re a seasoned pool owner or new to MagnaPool, these easy-to-follow steps will help you keep your pool in top shape.

Key Steps to MagnaPool Maintenance

1. Check and Balance Mineral Levels

The magnesium minerals in your MagnaPool play a vital role in keeping the water clean and therapeutic. To maintain the ideal mineral levels, test your pool water weekly and use products like the Zodiac MagnaPool Minerals Bag (available at Vipool & Spa) to replenish the minerals as needed. This ensures your water remains soft, clean, and refreshing.

2. Monitor pH Levels Regularly

Keeping the pH levels between 7.2 and 7.6 is essential for water clarity and comfort. Imbalanced pH levels can lead to cloudy water, skin irritation, or even damage to pool equipment. Use a reliable pool test kit to monitor the pH and adjust it using appropriate balancing products whenever needed.

3. Keep the Filters Clean

Your MagnaPool’s filter works hard to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the water. Cleaning it every 2–3 weeks ensures proper water circulation and filtration. If your pool uses a glass media filter, backwash it regularly to maintain its efficiency.

Routine Maintenance Schedule

1. Weekly Tasks

Test water chemistry, focusing on mineral and pH levels.

Skim the pool surface to remove leaves and debris.

Brush pool walls to prevent algae buildup.

2. Monthly Tasks

Deep clean the pool floor using a vacuum.

Backwash and rinse the pool filter.

Replenish MagnaPool minerals if needed.

3. Seasonal Tasks

Inspect your heating system (if you have one) to ensure it’s running efficiently.

Schedule professional servicing if you’re unsure about any maintenance tasks.

Common Issues and Their Solutions

1. Cloudy Water

Cause: Imbalanced pH or low magnesium levels are the usual culprits. Debris buildup or improper filtration can also contribute to murky water.

Solution:

Test the water with a reliable pool test kit to check pH and magnesium levels. The ideal pH range is between 7.2 and 7.6.

Adjust the pH using pool chemicals designed for MagnaPools.

Add MagnaPool minerals as needed to restore the balance.

Regularly clean the filter and run the pump for the recommended time to ensure proper circulation.

2. Algae Growth

Cause: Poor water circulation, inadequate cleaning, or insufficient mineral levels can lead to algae growth, especially during warmer months.

Solution:

Start by brushing the walls and floor of the pool to loosen algae.

Shock the pool with a compatible algaecide or pool shock product.

Clean and backwash the filter to remove trapped particles.

Ensure the pump runs for at least 8-10 hours daily to maintain water movement. Regularly inspect and clean skimmers for optimal performance.

3. Unpleasant Odors

Cause: Organic debris such as leaves, twigs, or dead insects can decompose, creating unpleasant smells. Stagnant water or imbalanced chemistry might also be the reason.

Solution:

Skim the pool daily to remove debris before it decomposes.

Ensure the pool pump operates for a minimum of 8 hours daily to maintain circulation.

Shock the pool occasionally to break down organic contaminants.

Keep the filter clean to prevent buildup of decaying material.

4. Heater or Pump Malfunctions

Cause: Lack of regular maintenance, debris accumulation, or wear and tear can cause heating or pump systems to fail.

Solution:

Perform routine inspections of heating and filtration equipment.

Schedule professional heating maintenance to keep systems in optimal condition.

Clean or replace parts like filters and seals as needed to maintain efficiency.

Smart Tips for Long-Term Care

Use an Automated Cleaner: Save time and effort by using an automated pool cleaner. It keeps your pool clean by taking care of everyday dirt and debris without needing constant supervision.

Schedule Heating Maintenance: If your pool is heated, regular heating maintenance can prevent costly repairs and keep the system working efficiently. This ensures your pool stays warm and ready whenever you want a swim.

Call the Experts When Needed: Some tasks are best left to professionals. If you face issues you can’t handle, search for a reliable pool service near me to ensure your pool gets the care it needs.

Get the Right Tools: Good tools, like an efficient pump and quality filter, make pool care simpler and more effective.

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
