sometimes it’s odd being from a people who’ve been thriving since well before agriculture and without agriculture. real hard to sell… lots of things as an advancement. how is any of this better?

anyone else lose the ability to have chart of the moment on their homescreen with @astrogoldapps.bsky.social? had been recommending my students use that for study and it was my fav setup for horary

today the lord of the profected AC is transiting the lord of the solar return. all i want is to go to the climbing gym!

in case anyone was wondering the answer to the stellium question is 4 classical planets (as presented at norwac this May)

One thing that I think is often overlooked in social-media astrology is differentiating between the natural/universal signification of a planet and the topical/functional significations it carries. Too much emphasis on the former at the expense of the latter. Thanks for coming to my TED talk/rant.

people may expect Leos to be easily buttered up but valens describes them as “haters of flattery”— the praise they enjoy must have authenticity to it

Happy 350th birthday to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich! the foundation stone was laid at 3:14 pm on 10 August 1675 (OS). We know because the astronomer there, John Flamsteed, drew up a horoscope. See more here teleskopos.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/a... #histSTM #histsci

On what would have been James Baldwin’s 101st birthday, we honor his legacy of challenging our nation to live up to its promises of liberty and justice for all.

i knew the urban legend that whatever astrology topic one presents at conference, one will live out IRL. did not consider referring to all stelliums as inherently malefic (save one, which I don’t happen to have) would amplify the maleficence of my own!

BREAKING: A Senate committee has just approved a bill to ban stock trading for members of Congress, the VP, and the President. The bill can now go before the Senate.

At some point it must be clear that this administration is trying to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible--by vaccine preventable disease, rotten food, chronic conditions, environmental disasters, industrial accidents, occupational diseases and pollutants and greenhouse gases.

Today Michigan Republicans introduced 3 House Bills, which would: – Remove sexual orientation and gender identity or expression as protected categories - Overturn our ban on conversion therapy for minors – Remove abortion protections Michigan HB4751, HB4752, HB4753 Let your reps hear from you!

Who is going to Chicago next year?!

in the final few days of my 2H year (with a sweet little square dance happening between the present and imminent annual lords to boot) I can really see why it’s the worst good house / best bad house. perhaps as the next revolution begins I’ll be able to package these realizations acquired

I mean, sure, "Elephants never forget" is cute and all, but "corvids carry generational grudges" is both factually correct and _sick as hell_

On the morning of 12 August there will be a telescopically close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, the brightest planets in the night sky. Also all four of Jupiter's Galilean moons will be visible too. Fantastic observing and photographic opportunity. 🔭 🧪

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

remember to stop and smell the roses or whatever else soothes your nervous system! it’s a radical act of defiance when the powers that be aim to keep us overwhelmed, scared, and confused. and it’s necessary if we aim to do the good work, too. (reminder for myself as much as anyone else)

sometimes the 8H is the house of giving a fuck about other people, sometimes it’s art collectives, sometimes it’s solopreneur’ing, and sometimes it’s the skeletons in your/the family’s closet

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
