I, personally,, don’t trust spiritual practitioners than seem incapable of shutting up

The nastiest, most opportunistic time to proclaim your pent-up resentment is when someone places a boundary with you.

I used to be someone who valued preserving the good in a connection, even if it was falling apart. I've learnt that with some, this is a fool’s errand. People will gladly destroy you in order to avoid themselves, and in doing so, they obliterate all that you believed they were.

Some people can only survive by destroying a dynamic and everything that it means. They can't face an outcome that forces prolonged self-witnessing, so by destroying what you meant to them, they also destroy the accountability that comes from their behaviours.

Being blocked by someone after they sent a heartfelt half-sat-in apology that they couldn't stay faithful to is a badge of honour for your own self-respect.

the only way to tell what is and isn't aligned with you is to stop interfering one way or the other.

mutual effort breeds the creation of intimacy

It's tough to remain aligned with the work, but what's worth a gram in discomfort is worth a ton in self-respect.

Eclipses are good for that - as are cazimis.

Moving into the city centre tomorrow. Feels like an entire era of my life is ending. Not sure how to feel, but exhaustion probably cuts it.

In Virgo Decan 3, we have a choice. Either strive to hold onto attentive perfection, keeping all the moving party together in perfect unity. Or allow what's left to run its course. Use the waste to guide your next steps. Empty expectations. Dismantle perfection.

In Pisces Decan 3, we have a choice. Either hold onto the illusion long enough for it to destroy you. Or kill the illusion and see things for what they are, finding the faith to begin again.

In Gemini Decan 3, we have a choice. Either to remain in nervous confusion, surrendering to its possibilities and quelms. Or to take decisive, resolute action. One that forces the situation to a conclusion.

getting ill again friends, gonna take some time off to recover. stay safe, stay happy, stay healthy and remember, you've got this

Have a beautiful eclipse season friends! =)

Something for Venus Retrograde. About love.

The final decan of Gemini is associated with Praxidike, the goddess of judicial punishment, or vengeance. Some ancient astrologers believed that this decan held with it the fate of judgement day. This is because they considered the world to be a Cancer Rising (Thema Mundi)

Barack and Michelle Obama’s synastry is interesting because on the surface it seems unorthodox, but then you realise that he’s ruled by a 12h Saturn at 26° Capricorn with a Leo (Sun-ruled) DSC. Michelle’s Sun is at 25° Capricorn. She illuminates the person that nobody sees.

Before and after; ruled by Mercury in Leo 🎹

There's a woman who has served me coffee every morning at my local station for two years. I started getting coffee there during a shit time. It made me feel happy that she’d remember my order and make it the second I walked in. She told me she's going back to Hong Kong today.

The beginning is written in the end.

This eclipse is a moment of release, especially for mutable risings. It’s an acknowledgement of the pain, the hurt, the surrendering of what you once held onto for so long. It’s the reality that things didn't turn out the way you wished they would, and you can do no more. Let go.

Angular Benefic: Good things come and more, but it’s your role to manifest them. Succedent Benefic: Good things come and they'll be rewarded to you Cadent Benefic: Good things come in unexpected ways when you most need them

The Olympic swimmer Yusra Mardini left Syria due to the war in August 2015, during the Venus Rx in Leo, her 1st house. She moved to Germany. Now, after nearly 10 years, she's returned to Syria for the first time during the Venus Rx in Aries, her 9th house.

Cardinal signs are certain in the beginning, solid in the middle and unsteady in the end. Fixed signs are unsteady in the beginning, certain in the middle and solid in the end. Mutable signs are solid in the beginning, unsteady in the middle and certain in the end.

For the amount of indecisiveness and uncertainty that mutable signs hold, the final decan of each sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) holds a terrifyingly decisive and tantalizingly final ending.

What if reflection itself has an essential nature, acting as an extension of the object? Perhaps perception is always a collaboration between the inherent qualities of something and the reflection it projects. To me, this is the dynamic between the 1st and 7th houses.

The 7th is a liminal space, it’s where we go to meet others. It’s how we make them feel, it’s the energy they then assume in our lives. But the 1st is our own space. It’s how we feel about ourselves. It’s where we lead others after they've entered and explored the 7th.

My therapist was talking with me about projective identification. It got me thinking about the Ascendant-Descendant axis. Our 1st house is who we are but also how we feel about ourselves, the 7th is how we feel about others and how we make them feel.

I think me and Dora the explorer would have good synastry

MERCURY IS GOING RETROGRADE IN CHERRIES

My Virgo rising ass gut has a mind of its own WHAT DO YOU MEAN

Mars in Cancer SUCKS ASS

So the lunar eclipse in my first house is just me dying of allergies WHAT

Allergy season is destroying me

RUNNING IN LDN LEADS YOU TO RANDOM PLACES

Once Rahu decides to stop participating in the illusions that once obscured it, its ability to break through others is damming. It's a way of demolishing reality, turning things inside out, revealing what people were concealing to a nearly mythical degree.

This will be a not so delusional Pisces season by the way. Venus rx, Mercury rx, and eclipse season bring truth to what we refuse to look in the eyes for who it actually is. The truth is, you already knew this was the reality, you just didn’t want it to be. No more running ❤️

In life, we continue through a series of ongoing ‘crossings’. Some of them are big, some of them small. Our work leads to the crossing, the arrival of the new, and the beginning of an adventure. Just as we complete one chapter, we begin another. Thus we continue the work.

Tfw you realise that your 10th house ruler is Mercury in the 12th and you spend 3039473738 hours a day alone in a studio underground mixing little discrepancies in audio that nobody will now notice when they’re watching a tv show or commercial lmfao

Obsessed with Ibn Ezra here quoting Al-Khayyat and telling us what kind of people hate us based on our ascendant sign+twelfth house combos. Screaming. Cancer rising is missing.

I'm more Martian than I think I am

The best and only gift that an antagonistic person can give you is the revelation of exactly who they are - what to never entertain again.

spent the day writing something very folky

I live in the 12th house

there are other ways that saturn can work but "shows delays in the houses & planets it rules" stays a classic

The 12th house isn't just the jail itself, nor is it the hospital. It’s about what it psychologically does to you there, what it forces you to confront. The 12th isn’t an arbitrary location, it’s a place that was always there, inside of you, the place you were always running from

The full moon in Leo is here and she’s bold, daring and challenging us to embrace our most authentic selves, (even when it’s uncomfortable to do so).

The full moon begins in Leo. This full moon is about drama, identity, ideals and surrender. This lunation is what happens when we stop listening to ourselves for long enough when we stop acknowledging the voice inside. It strips away the decay and turns our attention upward.
