you have to be pretty bad at astrology to unite the entire astrological community against you with one trademark application

simple explanation: the moon did it

May I be with you, you gods; may you be with me, you gods; may you live with me, you gods. I love you, you gods; may you love me, you gods. (PTF)

taking a little pit stop on Cygnus after an incredibly intense couple weeks but going to ship more fixes and enhancements soon (including on-chart controls for bounds/decans, zodiac, LoF/LoS, other fun stuff) the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive (and helpful bug reports!), I'm humbled

MNEMOSYNE 🫧 While reflecting on the Moon card I reread my dream journal, and found frustrating excerpts from a setting I had not realized had been recurring for months. The plot might be different, but the house was always the same.

yes Yes YES I've gotten to see some of the behind the scenes for this course and it's an absolutely immense and incredible piece of work, Kira is gonna rock your world

risk it for the triscuit. that's 50% more biscuit

the best magical effort:outcome ratio I know of for spellcasting is roughly: - earnest petition to planetary deity of your goal during the planetary day and hour - try your best to embody the nature of the planet - follow the omens and signs - trust the process - divine occasionally

reddit has started doing this thing where you can only scroll logged out on mobile for like ~1m before they FORCE you to log in/use the app/cannot interact, and I love it. thank you reddit for reminding me to get off your dumb website that is only pretending to be an app

slightly diminish a film The Darjeeling Mostly

intrusive thoughts? oh, you mean intrusy thussies?

pro tip: if an academic doesn't cite their primary sources (by page, edition, publisher, critical edition, etc.) it's not because they don't know any better, so one has to wonder what benefit not doing so gives them

did you know that the Hermetic Lots have a deep, nuanced cosmological model implied in their natures going all the way back to the Hellenistic era of astrology that defines how we even know of and use them today?

in the future they'll do satellite-omancy like they did ornithomancy, reading the omens in the quantity and direction of passing clusters of space junk

if you're ever out of ideas of ways for a new grift, here's a pro tip: take a concept with a known academic and philosophical lineage and rename it to something exciting-but-vague sounding. very important: make sure not to cite any sources in any way your 𝗆̶𝖺̶𝗋̶𝗄̶𝗌̶ audience will ever bother looking up

I try to always say thank you to my divination tools after a reading, even if I don't think the tools alone are alive in a way where they'd notice being thanked but they're the conduit in the chain of knowledge from the invisible to the visible. whoever is truly to thank, I'm grateful for all of it

planetary speed is very, VERY important

my big thing w/ astrology is it's never actually about astrology, it's about people's hopes and dreams and fears and beliefs about what god thinks of them and what they can/cannot control

ficino’s de vita, or, “how to be thoughtful without wanting to kys”

you miss 100% of the shots you don't see

thoughtfulness is a saturnian quality

sometimes all you need is one single good moment to really stretch out your soul, real deep

the chart is the foundation of the life, the spirit, the moment. it's how you think and feel, what you *don't* think and feel. you know that moment where you're like "wow, I can't even remotely relate to that experience?" that's YOUR chart speaking to the diversity of the world.

sometimes I try to sense-visualize how fast modern computers can do calculations and it gives me anxiety trying to imagine how it would feel to do anything that fast

what even is a thought? a nasty little thing, coming from nowhere, trying to start trouble

we must rotate the prism

the sun is nouns and the moon is verbs

software engineers don't believe in Mercury retrograde, but vibe coders do

It was SO fun to come on @kiraryberg.bsky.social iconic podcast and talk about our FAVORITE topic!! I think we did a great job boiling down a very nuanced and complex technique, so if you're into zodiacal releasing or curious to learn about it do give this ep a listen 💜
