Glowing real hard thinking abt our NOLA (the beloved’s hometown) trip the past week for Mardi Gras. On Mardi Gras proper—the DAY of the Aqua solar eclipse, mind you—they had a rebirth & renewal theme at Rex So a focus on gods/myths/symbols/legends w rebirth & transformation themes And……

When you have…. Detriment Saturn Detriment Mars Detriment Mercury Fallen Venus …“your way” can look different from others and learning how to trust that difference and work with it as opposed to against it can have wonderful results. Her skating is incredible and she stands out above the rest!

It’s eclipse season…again 🐍

The reason why you’re seeing so many Saturn in Aries natives say to bring on their Saturn return and how they dgaf/are ready for the challenge anyway IS bc… we’re Saturn in Aries natives lmao

Neptune settles into Aries for the next 13 years! An era of the spiritualization of being. To exist is spiritual. Identity is spiritual. Our resistance and innovation and revolution is spiritual. 1/

Just a heads up: Neptune enters Aries for good today. The last time Neptune entered Aries in this way was on April 13th, 1861, the day after the American Civil War began. 🧵

Today is the new moon in Capricorn, happening at the very end of the sign before we begin Aquarius season. This new moon culminates in an area of the zodiac that has been tremendously active these last few weeks, as Venus+Mars met the Sun here, with Mercury hot on their heels and Jupiter opposing 1/

astrologers are in the unenviable position of studying a real system that was produced thousands of years ago, cannot actually be demonstrated in satisfying numerical way, requires deep familiarity with history and spirituality *and* sound thinking, and absolutely cannot be explained easily to most

one of my favorite topics: exploring the messy, intricate reasons why it's not worth treating astrology as a replicable phenomenon to be proven or disproven though this thread is more expansive than that

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Happy Libra season! May the Jupiter-ruled third decan of Libra AND Libra Venus treat us better!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day, and a big fuck you to all colonizers both in practice and in spirit.

"make art for urself!" completely neglects the fact that beauty, the desiring direction of art, isn't an institutionally quantifiable object. Beauty gains and brings joy the more it's shared, the more people join in to say, "oh I love this, this is how it makes me feel". bc life is relational.

In art the flaws are what give pieces soul.... Why should people be any different?

#WitchSky #WitchMadness I think Thoth looks the best in blue

i think astrologers who were able to easily recognize the beauty and function of astrology remember the eternal beauty their souls witnessed before they incarnated. this is mentioned in Plato's Phaedrus. your soul remembers, it recognizes it, and it yearns to return to such beauty.

The two weeks between eclipses always got some spice in it.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

Friendly reminder from your local Saturn-as-functional-benefic astrologer: Saturn is associated with the marginalized, including disabled people, and MANY people who are in the divinatory arts (astrology, tarot, etc.) are disabled. Saturn is deeply misunderstood but a very valuable ally.

Mystics must always be ready to abandon their high contemplation, their mystical silence, in order to give bread to the hungry. - Karl Rahner

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.

If you do not have a mystic dimension you do not have a mythology, you have an ideology.~Joseph Campbell (𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴)

Finally, everyone can understand what I’ve been through 😂 Sincerely, a person who has this exact aspect in these same signs in their natal chart

Any planet in its detriment finds itself in the strength of something else, and it can use those tools to meet its planetary goals. Jupiter in Gemini is the grassroots organizer. Jupiter’s goals (justice), lacking Jupiter’s resources, wields Gemini’s tools.

One reason I don’t even get why the “working with” vs “worship” argument is even a thing is isn’t all religion magical? Aren’t you trying to change reality with your prayers? You’re calling on spiritual beings to change things, that is magic. I don’t understand how that’s not magic.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

If you don’t kill the cop in your head, you will dismantle corrupt institutions and replace them with a grassroots movement that perpetuates the exact same carceral, authoritarian and coercive environments.

so wild there are these threads of radiant beauty just coursing through all things, and not only do we get to witness this glow, we get to pluck the strings ourselves and travel to the future or past through art and creation. all you have to do is reach out and strum to connect with the infinite

some people are gonna need a few days in the fetal position and some people do best when immediately given a task and some people need to immerse themselves in joy and comfort we have to let everyone grieve and feel this shit however their own nervous system needs. this is gonna be a long fight

THANK YOU JUPITER CAZIMI!! We needed this!! 😭🙏🏻

Need this to send the strongest possible message to racists islamophobes genocide worshippers sex predators and politicians who stand for absolutely nothing to get the fuck out of here

I love every single person standing in solidarity tomorrow in whatever way is accessible to them.

fate & free will are lovers

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

your lived experience is more valid than any delineation an astrologer can give you for a specific placement

Friends. Followers. People of Bluesky. Please check your knowledge of Black and Native history before declaring the US has never

Arguing with skeptics is funny because there's always this moment where they get sent reeling and have to collect their thoughts because they really weren't ready for you to disavow that the planets cause events on earth, and suddenly it's 3am and you're quoting some guy called Plotinus at them

In a Cancer 5H year & Saturn in Aries + moon in Cancer just gave me one of the best ideas for my novel WIP yet. Saturn in Aries because that’s the tone… when I tell you I’m in my anti-authoritarianism ELEMENT rn 😈 Imbuing creative works w this feeling is SUPER cathartic under this regime, fyi

The way people would rather romanticize a future apocalypse rather than do anything now to help their communities and the world around them is what truly gets me the most tbh

Once you start following the seasons, not even the planets, just the sun and the moon, and really start paying attention to the energies of those spheres, you stop fighting it and start to rest when you need to and move when you have the energy to do so. The fight is so draining. #witchsky

God, is it Saturn at 29° Pisces the way everything the past few days seems to feel crunchy?? Like you’re moving like molasses? And how everything feels sad and full of wistful longing? Not just me, the amount of people I’ve seen convey this exact sentiment the past few days is TRULY staggering
