what the fuck 😭

the evening I just had with this Moon enclosed by the malefics 💀💀💀💀💀

I’m so glad we have Namjoon’s exact birth time because how could this man be anything other than a Sag rising 😭💜

tracking what the Moon is doing whenever I go on a date or an event to meet new people is the most fun aspect of being an astrologer

sometimes the Moon crossing over your 12H benefic conjunction is having the most healing tarot session talking about traumas & finding ways of moving forward from them

mercury retrograde tip for the caffeine sensitivity girlies: always double check the barista did not forget your order is decaf lol

Rosalía having lyrics in 13 different languages on her new album……. I can sense a fellow 12H/9H girlie when I see one

my message to mercury today

It’s my Venus return and I have so many thoughts on Venus in Scorpio

stares at mercury

the way I need this man’s exact birth time like I need air

that video of the Italian guy realizing his parents are giggling high af on weed and giving them the “I can’t believe the tables have turned and I have to parent you now” disapproving-side-eye is peak day chart 4H Saturn return experience

I think nowadays we hear all the time to “slow down and do less” but as someone with a Mars trine and a Saturn square to my Asc who often feels frustrated by how little time vs much energy I have, I think the most important thing is you need to know your own speed and adjust to that

Regulus @ me now that we actually work together on a regular (pun intended) basis

they’re all on a date

mercury marszimi

Someone I know has the Moon tightly squaring Mars in Scorpio in their current solar revolution chart with Mars as timelord and the first thing they did the day of their birthday was go on a several week long martial arts retreat 🔥

Jupiter says trans rights

I had a physiotherapy appointment and my flu vaccine all within Mars hour on Mars day with Mars on my Ascendant

I love being challenged by clients I work with whose life experiences don’t fit into basic modern stereotypes. E.g someone with a 10H Sun/chart ruler in the 10H not being career oriented or a dignified 7H Jupiter dealing with a messy divorce. It always forces you to look deeper and investigate 👀

I want to print out this entire thread & tape it on my wall

astrology can be very hard to talk about with the majority of people (often including other astrologers!) because both its study and practice is deeply intertwined with epistemology, aka how we know what we know and to what extent we can know it. plus, metaphysics, history, and translation!

how are my fellow early degree Sag risings doing on this fine day 😌

my scorpio venus is highly uncomfortable with my korean textbook asking me highly personal questions (what does your ideal type look like & can u fill in the blank below to describe them)

Ali Olomi’s solar revolution lectures are so damn juicy I listened to the first one for like the 5th time today and I am still learning something new

the mood change from that beautiful taurus moon to this gemini moon opposing mars is diabolical 😭

trying to manipulate the universe by having my flu vaccine appointment when Mars is on my ascendant to placate his influence

I switched my summer blanket to my thick winter blanket last night and it’s a 10000/10 sensory experience when you first realize how much better it feels to sleep when it’s cold out there. anyway happy Taurus Moon 😌

Moon in Taurus mini moodboard 🍇

I love that they’re releasing it during a Taurus Moon 💜 comfort show for the entire fandom

Mercury you little shit

when people are telling me to take it easy for the rest of the year but it’s Q4 and I’m a Capricorn Moon

sometimes the natal promise of your 12H Mercury with its ruler in your 9H retaking the oath in your SR chart is spending your day listening to some Korean guy streaming games while you work and then going to Korean class in the evening

Are you even a real astrologer unless you constantly have 3-4 books on your reading list that are all 400+ pages long 🥲

This job market is so competitive. 😭 I'm going to start sharing one of my monthly elections for when to apply for a job, using electional astrology on my blog! Sending love to all the career girlies going thru it. You got this! buff.ly/VoC9dTJ

hell yeah

the way I can't wait for my saturn return to be over so I can write a long ass blog post about it but at the same time it's happening in my 4H so some of that stuff is simply too personal to tell 😭 I could write a BOOK

The Saturn-Jupiter-Mars trine has been happening in my 4H-8H-12H and I've been dealing with so many discussions (and situations) re: old age, end-of-life preparations, generational patterns and traumas, guilt, family duties, family stories, finances, alllll of it

just had to make different 2 calls that had to do with some kind of property management as soon as the Moon entered my 4th house lol

when it’s your 10H Venus return but your Venus opposes your Saturn in Aries 🔥

Shoutout to all the fire risings who‘ve had this great water trine in their 4H/8H/12H. It‘s been not very fun, verging on depressing

saturn in aries

I’m too much of a “let’s just see what happens lol” Sag rising to use elections every time I travel (sometimes you literally have no choice!) but this one was too good not to share 🫡

Show me your angles with memes in your camera roll

January 18, 2026 is going to be a very interesting day for people with late degree Capricorn placements (of if you are a 26° Capricorn Moon in a Moon-ruled year 🫡)

Instagram is an electional astrology hater because every time I try to schedule something it either doesn’t post it the exact moment I want to or it fails to post at all

Now that I've started doing more client work, it's time for a proper re-introduction here 👋 I'm Ilka, I’m an artist and astrologer, certified in the Hellenistic tradition and currently studying Medieval Islamicate techniques. Here is the link to find all my offerings 💫💜 linktr.ee/twelveofstars

absolutely loved this class! & I may or may not have placed an order for brady’s book of fixed stars while listening ✨
