@kiraryberg.bsky.social hey look at this nice thing @leftlanesmith.bsky.social said about our aspects guidebook!

you asked, and it's HERE! my november calendar for your year-ahead readings! see you soon. 💕 calendly.com/ashleymcquai...

When people are shocked at the size of protests in places they perceive as conservative, may I introduce you to gerrymandering in mid-size Southern cities

prompt for square aspects: if one of the planets was forced to stop the other from doing something, what would that look like?

when you're trying to understand what's going on in an aspect, what you're doing is trying to imagine a conversation between planets. you want to pay attention to tone, needs, comfort, resources, and power dynamics.

when i think about mutual reception, this is the image in my head

Wanna find out what ancient astrologers said made you gay?? 💅🏳️‍🌈😛🤩😤?? Come to my talk this weekend!! www.tickettailor.com/events/astro...

conjunctions: we're blended, we're a chimera, we're peas in a pod, we're strange bedfellows sextiles: you get me, man squares: will you just go already? well then i'm going! trines: we're a team, what do you need oppositions: oh god, you again aversions: [ghostly wall tapping]

FEELING SEEN: THE GUIDEBOOK AND WORKSHOP IS HERE!! This collaboration with @maegkeane.bsky.social is a 3.5-hour (pre-recorded) workshop AND a 160-page guidebook all about interpreting aspects.

IT'S HAPPENING

Aspects are undeniably the hardest part of the “basics” to get down because they’re not basic at all. They’re where we stop looking at things in isolation and bring them together to tell a coherent story.

I will be purchasing. ✅

Two incredible astrologers joining forces? Yes pleaseeee!

I am SO excited to announce that @maegkeane.bsky.social and I are releasing a 3.5 hour workshop AND a guidebook all about aspects on October 14th!!!

my face rn

I was subbed on Spotify but not YT. Make sure you're subbed on both!

hey so I’m only, uh, 27 subscribers away from hitting 1000 on youtube (which is a big deal over there! it means I can actually get paid for putting things into the world!) so if you’re NOT subscribed, this is your friendly reminder that it really helps me out if you are <3

NEW EPISODE OF THREADS OF FATE IS OUT!!! This time I am joined by the wonderful and lovely and brilliant @maegkeane.bsky.social to chat about the 11th house. We’re talking Jupiter, the blessings and difficulty of Community, how good things don’t always Feel Good, and so much more!!

"Violence has no place in politics" You think cutting off funding for food, education, housing and medical care isn't violent? You think arresting, jailing, deporting and killing people for the color of their skin isn't violent? Worms are in a lot of brains if you think violence isn't already here.

happy feast day of the beheading of st john! read my retelling of oscar wilde's salomé, an ode to the daughter of abomination, the mother whore of babylon, and the floating head prophet

i absolutely loved guest editing the DEVIL issue for @therebis.com (which you can preorder now!) — and if you'd like to get a sneak peek inside, read my editor's note for free right now:

Rosemary is also abundant where I live. It's good to tap into the spiritual/metaphorical powers of commonly available things, rather than seeking out the rare ones and endangering their very existence.

rosemary is a plant of the sun. it is a plant of memory, renewal, recovery, clarity, and cleansing. it crowns gods, royalty, victors, scholars, and newlyweds. warming, drying, vivifying, antioxidant, resilient, evergreen.

on this venus day, i'm celebrating venus being in cancer.

"we ride at dawn: heliacal stars for beginners" is here! maegkeane.substack.com/p/we-ride-at...

I have been playing around with this book all weekend and it's deeply satisfying.

horary astrologers: which house in the chart do you associate with yards, gardens, outdoor spaces when working something like, say, a lost object horary question?

free recording: meg & maeg on divination. @megjoneswall.bsky.social and i are basically always talking about divination, and we decided this time we'd record one of our conversations! you can listen to it at either of our newsletters. there's a link to it in my bio.

make it absolutely miserable for anyone to be an ICE agent. put glitter on them (and in their AC vents so it blows into their cars), make noise outside their hotels all night, record them at every possible opportunity, shame them constantly, and for the love of god STOP DATING THEM.

Yesterday I had a wonderful consultation (10/10 would recommend) with the inimitable, ridiculously beautiful, wickedly funny and exceptionally smart @kirastrology.bsky.social and this is *exactly* what she provided…

I forgot how much easier it is to hype my people's shit when I'm on a text-based app. This is nice.

I'm a "I don't like spreads" card reader and I made sure I got a copy of this book because @megjoneswall.bsky.social is a mercurial genius and these spreads kick ass and support you in 1) asking a good question 2) being with what comes up 3) not derailing yourself by uh, continuing to pull cards.

Check this out! Not only can you support one of my pals and colleagues but you also enter the raffle to get some free goodies (there's a bunch of things but from me: a free copy of my strawberry & venus digital zine, a planetary telegraph, or a fixed star reading!).

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

"That's so affirming" is a phrase I've been thinking about lately. You're firming it up, you are strengthen it, you have confirmed something I've wondered or been considering. In divination, it's pretty easy to just tell someone what they want to hear but ideally, affirming is different.

Very helpful and thoughtful, step by step beginning guide from @maegkeane.bsky.social about how to discover and begin coming into relationship with fixed star parans

You see them in the dark, your neck craned. Spires, spikes, lights. Blue fires, white fires. Sharp tongues, strange eyes. Lanterns, keyholes, wormholes.

if you'd like a step-by-step guide for understanding your fixed stars, here's a place to start: maegkeane.substack.com/p/a-guide-to...
