Today marks five years of me being an astrologer

Trying to commemorate my fifth anniversary of formally committing to the study of astrology is so difficult lmao. My entire experience as an astrologer is inextricably linked to my experience on these platforms and it’s hard to talk about one without bringing up the other.

A Medieval Islamicate birth chart reading just hits different. Go beyond the Sun/Moon/Rising with skinny legend @trixiemattel.bsky.social "Because reading is fun-damental" 💅

Every time someone sends me an astro take from Threads I turn to God and give thanks that I was fighting people on Twitter and not over there.

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

I hope the geomancy post is about timing 😩😩😩😩

A close friend of mine needs help, if you could spread this and donate if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/queer-nati...

I've had my comments deleted twice and been blocked once for offering critique on published work. You bitches live in an echo chamber! Stop perceiving dissent as a personal attack!

I just-

Girl… that testimony will certainly stack when you apply those techniques.

Two things that this “Astrology of Religions” lecture demonstrates are (1) the richness of the pre-modern scholars’ understand of their own lived experience and (2) the extent to which they integrated these understandings into their astrology.

Now, more than ever, it's time to cultivate your inner monologue AND talk to people irl

… no cause what made you think this would be $23, and then when you heard what it was again you said “actually no… $18.”

Not to be missed! @crystalsoulheal.bsky.social is speaking on the Governors of the Soul ! Tix still available www.tickettailor.com/events/astro...

Love me some Matthew Melvin-Koushki…from Powers of One: The Mathematicalization of the Occult Sciences in the High Persianate Tradition

He clocked a lot of y’all with that Al-Hadi piece.

What is the Astrologers’ Co-Op? We are 7 volunteer astrologers building an inclusive astrological community from the ground up since July of 2023. Our first project was "A Collective Journey through the Decans," a year-long gift from 50 astrologers to the public!

Alright, so I wrote a brief post about everyone’s favorite blond-haired, orange-skinned, swollen ankled wannabe strongman half a year ago. Gonna post it again in preparation for my incoming Clarence Thomas nativity analysis.

Agreed. BlueSky has better controls than a lot of these other platforms, but those controls don’t mitigate the issues that exist across all platforms. If anything, they inadvertently create new ones.

Rollercoaster of a week this week lmao, and honestly not surprising given the weather

It’s fascinating to see how the occult sciences of the medieval period were inherited by different cultures around the world. The same concept will have multiple faces in multiple different regions, and yet, it still remains coherent across all of them. Alhamdulillah.

ko-fi.com/post/You-The... It’s out, y’all! Tap in, lemme know what you think!

El oh el

hii i know im not on here anymore but some of the girls need help with catastrophic eclipse season shenanigans www.gofundme.com/f/help-kait-...

One thing about me and a keyboard

Would you guys be interested in listening to me talk more? I'm thinking about mayybe starting a podcast. I'm good at talking into a mic, I have experience with podcasting and editing audio, and I have all the recording gear Chris helped me get for the horary course - the only issue for me is time.

Michelle Craft will be presenting at 'Come As You Are' - 'The Governors of the Soul - a Traditional Big 3' @crystalsoulheal.bsky.social

cielosueloastrology.substack.com/p/here-for-i... I wrote a letter for you all on my substack that I never use. In short, I want to thank all of you for being part of my journey as I celebrate half of a decade running a full time astrological consulting practice. The love is real.

I would be mindful of formality. You don’t have to completely drop whatever dynamic you have with the other person, but approach it like a diviner sitting with a client first and a friend sitting with a friend second.

I am once again encouraging y’all to look at research papers

NOW OPEN FOR OCT ASTROLOGY SESSIONS, first come, first serve; I already started booking people early and spots in OCT are more limited because of travel. Payment plans available, and my site here is the only way to book (view on laptop): cielosueloastrology.com/booking spread the word :]

That live cleared.

Which is fine btw. I’m not speaking directly on you or your practice as much as I’m speaking on general trends in the community that you and Akil’s comments reminded me of. I don’t want my general disdain towards those things to come off as being targeted lol.

The 9th house is not just for religion, astrology and philosophy - it's also the house of science, and sometimes that can seem weird to us today, but that's a product of our peculiarly recent notion that science is somehow the enemy of these other fields of knowledge.

People might not agree, but Chris Warnock and friends have done some considerable harm to the practice and understand of things. Regardless of malicious intent, halfass translating picatrix and then selling magic from outside your own culture to make a living is colonial behavior.

Maybe in 30 years when I finally finish highlighting the last page of Sahl and my iCloud Drive is physically cracking under the terabytes of plaintext notes I’ve taken on it.

The way people in the west think magic squares are passive objects you just place upon some hodgepodge altar as a plain aesthetic and coorespondance ting as if there isn’t robust and multiple ways to activate it thru theurgy and contintually upkeep and increase its barakah and relationship to you.

Alright enough ruffling feathers, let me go back to my shift at the Burger store

Also clock the fallacy everyone parrots that paper talismans are “temporary” or “less effective” lmao try saying that to anyone anywhere in the global south and see if you aren’t laughed out the room. If we stick to speaking about astrological talismans, they come in all forms and mediums.

It’s the way we are slowly normalising the buying and selling of inadequate elections in the form of materia, when we have absolutely no reason to, for me. And I think this is coming from an assumption that Picatrix style talismans are the only way to create materia…

And like I said in another post: these paths, and the materia used and made along these paths, are distinct in theory but rarely in practice especially as they get circulated and innovated across different cultures. bsky.app/profile/akil...

People take the Picatrix-style talismanic magic route because it’s popular, not necessarily because it’s effective or even well understood. There are other types of talismans and other types of magic out there, but they’re harder to sell because people are looking for an aesthetic, not a result.

Because what happens when you don’t have the gift of image magic in your chart but you’re a cunty prayer warrior? My Christian friends are already accustomed to forming a prayer circle at 3am. That 3am Jupiter day Jupiter hour Moon applying to Jupiter on the Asc with reception was perfect for that!

I honestly don’t think people would be this ignorant to the scope of the occult sciences if we didn’t have so many failed marketing and psych majors setting up talismanic shops and selling courses two days after they found out they could engrave a picture onto a rock.

The day has come, this plagiarizing grifter who doxxed another astrologer, is getting what's coming to her www.thecut.com/article/astr...

“Don’t just look at the qualities that that person possesses. Rather… return the inspection to your own heart, and pay attention to who you become when you are with them.” He cleared.
