What does life look like if the only thing you have to be the best at is pleasing yourself? (This is a journal prompt, not intended to invite response here 😅)

Greek myths attribute the iris to Hera, along with the pomegranate, poppy, dittany, and white lily. In 1879, Miss Carruthers noted that all these flowers were later transferred to the Virgin Mary. In Mrs Burke's 1867 Illustrated Language of Flowers dictionary, the iris meant 'message'!

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

disorganized attachment with The Void

Continuing to sit with wisdom @ddamascenaa.bsky.social dropped on me earlier this month: "You're not out of your right mind, you're out of your scared mind." This reframed several of my behaviours in a positive manner, and has opened so many avenues for deep self-reflection and revisiting stories

i talk about it in round about ways, but one word I want to start using more intentionally with Saturn is Stewardship. It's such a good word for what constructive saturn can look like.

Also also, I thought I'd also heard @ddamascenaa.bsky.social talk about this at some point, and they did here!: theastrologypodcast.com/2023/01/13/c...

Part of having a strong Saturn is just constantly being aware of potential consequences resulting from your action/inaction 🪐

The evil that men do lives after them

okay, so. i have bipolar disorder. we have a suicide rate of about 1/5. i've basically spent my entire teenage and adult life trying not to kill myself. so with that in mind, here are my tips on how to hang in there: 1) don't isolate. i know all the excuses. but don't do it

It's one thing to perceive @ddamascenaa.bsky.social's brilliance in her work, but then to book a reading and be in conversation with her about your chart is next level

At the beginning of July, Venus will conjoin Uranus at 29º Taurus before skipping over the sign boundary into Gemini, to be joined by Uranus a few days later. Uranus will retrograde back into Taurus in November but then here's where it gets weird...

Go outside tonight just after sunset and look west to see the conjunction between Mars and Regulus.

saturn in aries as in sustainable urgency (urgent sustainability?)

started my Jupiter return eating gelato and speaking aloud the kinds of generosity i hope to robustify in my life this year, then spotted a goldfinch outside my office window eating seeds off the plants in my yard

it's really important to pay careful attention to whose rules you're following, and why. this is one of those things that matters in your tarot practice, but also is wildly applicable to the rest of your life. where do the rules you're following come from? who do they serve?

One thing about me my copy is never getting mistaken for ChatGPT

i am not, never have been, and never will be a zodiac or house system truther bc i reject the idea that difference of perspective necessitates that there's One Perspective To Rule Them All ecological thinking means commitment to nuance and specificity without attempted superiority

are you trying to understand the planets or are you trying to make them fit inside your comfort zone?

Saturn returns roughly coincide with 5H, 6H and 7H profections so looking at the condition of those signs/rulers and their respective relationships with Saturn will help to unpack what is likely to come up for you during that period.

With Saturn transiting my 10H I am tapping the sign of credit to someone whose body of work I deeply appreciate and has directly impacted my own public presentation, @ddamascenaa.bsky.social

It has taken me a long, long time to accept that people who profess to care about you are supposed to share your joy and not just your sorrows. When they don’t mirror your ups they are actually relishing your downs.

not to be Sagittarian on main but i just really love RealizingTM

In meditation with one of my goddesses, I asked “what is the Great Work?” She said, “the stuff you do between being born and dying.” And then she hit me with the question of like, do you think the work of the farmer is less important than what you’re over here doing?

one of the most valuable things astro students can do is get consults from more experienced astrologers. there are some things that won't start to make sense until you've witnessed the process of synthesis. 1/2

mercury cazimi + a new moon in my 6th house and somehow my executive is functioning enough to reply to emails + contact forms from [redacted] months ago

Pallas's genius is literally advancing our understanding of the astrological houses by re-perceiving the nuances of language -- truly mind-blowing, creating a gentle but all-pervasive restructuring of perspective

Think about this: as humans, we stand on the earth with our feet planted on the ground, and we crane our necks back to gaze up at the sky. From this vantage point we see the vastness of the heavens wheeling above us, and we naturally feel awe and wonder. Astrology speaks to this viewpoint.

Saturn in Aries as finding the audacity even when there’s doubt present

another name for "creativity through the houses" (my new lecture w/ @maegkeane.bsky.social) might be "creativity in the birth chart," bc the truth is that no single placement dictates creative talent. how you create is shot through the whole chart itself. www.jeannakadlec.com/creativity-t...
