I cannot believe in the year 2024 popular media sites are still referring to child sex trafficking victims as “sex workers”

Pressuring women to settle down, find a man and have kids before 30, guilting them and shaming them into doing 10-15 years in a dead end, draining or destructive relationship, guilting and shaming them for leaving said dead end relationship and then telling them it's too late for them to date again while men fuck anything that breathes well into their forties, fifties even.

Fear, obligation and guilt is the undercurrent of misogyny.

Men masturbate to shit that would be considered an actual fucking crime in literally any other context outside of porn and then act like that has no influence whatsoever on how they view and interact with women.

How to learn real astrology: what it is and is not

As above, so below, as within, so without, as the universe, so the soul.

It is VITAL that if you want to understand astrology properly, you come in with an open mind and forget everything you think you know. Especially, remove yoruself from the belief that astrology is some occultic mystical spiritual practice, and/or that it is solely some psychological tool.

I used to be quite the hater of astrology. None of it 'resonated', and it seemed like wishy washy hippie shit. In lockdown, astrology stuff kept coming onto my feed, and some of it made sense, but most still did not. I then initially wanted to debunk astrology. But when I properly stated looking into it, the deeper I went the more accurate it started to become. Equally, parts still remained highly inaccurate. But this was due to a mismatch of how 'influencers' out there synthesised and understood the traditional foundations of astrology and modern information. Thus, I committed myself to truly understanding astrology, and my life has significantly improved for it and I've only just started.

As an introductory post to what astrology really is, I have formatted it into the following sections: i. the problem with pop culture astrology, ii, the history of astrology, iii. how astrology works, and iv. where meaning in astrology comes from.

The problem with pop culture astrology

This is the type of astrology we see in newspaper horoscopes, online articles, tiktok viral posts, instagram horoscopes, etc.

This is borne out of the allure astrology holds for desperate individuals seeking an easy and quick answer to their life problems, and using it as a form of confirmation bias for hating their ex (for example). But this misuse of astrology will undoubtedly hit for most people, due to the barnum effect, but is ultimately inaccurate and those who think it true have now misleadingly correlated the pop culture reasons for why X happened to what astrology is.

The new moon in your 7th house is not a sign that your crush will leave his partner for you. Being a gemini sun does not mean you are a two faced, loyal-less individual. Having your sun sign the same as their venus sign does not mean you two are compatible. And so on and so forth.

Here are some key things to understand about astrology:

✎ Stop using co-star, and those websites which give you your astrology information like this:

-> This does not tell you anything remotely significant aside from standard archetypal and superifical meanings of having a sun in Sagittarius or whatever (which you might not even 'relate' to, because of a multitude of other factors this does not show). Your chart instead, should, at the very least look like this:

-> Even better, make a chart and add in decans, asteroids, and considers more aspects. Viewing your birth chart like this is essential for gaining a better understanding. Aspects are what brings everything in your chart together to give it more significant and individualised meaning, the houses and the angles are also explicitly identifiable this way. Also, always make sure your chart is in whole sign houses, I will make a post on this later on why, but you will have to go to settings for this as popculture astrology has made placidus the default (as well as other inaccurate takes).

✎ Sun sign is astrology is fake, no matter how much you think it resonates with you it is the wrong footing to base your understanding of astrology off of. Astrology is extremely complex, one thing might resonate for one person and not for another, because of house placements, condition of the planet, aspects to the planet, etc. Consequently, all basic and simplified delineations of a chart are unhelpful and will put you on the wrong footing for future proper readings you might wish to do. This is how astrology can be so inaccurate.

✎ Astrology is not about resonating. Although, this is a part of how we can test astrology, it is linked far too much with resonating with personality. Your birth chart is not a map of who you are specifically, we evolve all the time (as the universe, so the soul), it is a map of your entire life. It is a map of the sky and its energies the minute you were born. Some things you think you do not resonate with is because those energies have not yet played out in your life.

✎ Astrology is not a psychological tool, although it can give us insight into psychology when used and understood properly. Again, it is the blueprint of our life.

✎ Astrology is not spiritual. It is not a belief system, either. Although, one can use astrology to advance their spiritual practices.

✎ Free will exists. I will likely go into this in another post but the energies of our bith chart, solar return chart, profection year, progressed charts, transits etc, are merely indications of how things are likely to unfold. The energies are malleable within their themes' ambit, and it is up to us to decide how we choose to interpret what is/will happen and what to do with that information. A transit might indicate difficulty in a law suit, ok, how can I mitigate that then? What other charts, energies, and transits can I use? If I did not know of this then I would not know how to alter my behaviour to yield a better results, even if it might not mean a completely opposite result.

✎ Your natal chart will not show you everything. There are relocated charts, progressed charts, solar return charts, profection years, etc. All this goes into a holistic assessment. Your natal chart, however, will always remain the anchor of it all.

A brief history

Astrology is not some woo-woo, spiritual, new age, belief system. Astrology's history and use goes back to the Babylonians. It used to be intertwined with astronomy; Galielo and Kepler, for example, were simultaneously astrologers and practised it widely (even as court astrologers). People in positions of power have always consulted astrologers to time events, in the modern era many Royal families, celebrities, and politicans still consult astrologers. Carl Jung, JP Morgan, Nancy Reagan, and Roosevelt are examples of this. Of course, it might be argued that just because famous people have used/use astrology does not give it any more credit to which I say: ok please read my post below pls and ty xo.

Astrology's history has been relatively tumultuous, however. I have condensed this timeline from an article I found below:

- Astrology was a widely accepted practice but, in Europe, after the fall of the Roman empire and much of Europe, it fell into decline along with other disicplines. - The middle ages saw a renaissance of intellectualism with a particular focus on science and thus the astronomy part of it. This was largely due to the Church who viewed astrology as divination and going against free will. - However, in other parts of the world astrology was still a crucial element of daily life, and those in power would use astrologers to time events. - Astrology did re-enter the curriculum, though, in the 14th century, with a focus on being used for medical astrology in part due to the recently available Hippocratic Corpus. These texts were crucial to advancing our understanding of medicine, but Hippocrates emphasised that "a physician without knowledge of astrology has no right to call himself a physician". Astrologer still had a healthy dose of criticism back then, though. - Astrology was a major field of study in universities in Europe, well ingrained in daily life. - It died out in the 17th century, mostly due to the increasing emphasis on science being increasingly and misleadingly viewed as separate from astrology, the church, and astrologers falling into disrepute due to political involvement. - Its resurgence in the 19th century saw an oversimplified, and largely 'spiritualised' version of astrologer. This is because this period also saw an increased interest in the occult and mystic. - Since becoming conflated, astrology has become even further diluted, but this is not to say that every new discovery has been wrong; modern interpretation is crucial to informing the bigger picture of astrology and how we can utilise it. But it is vital to be critical and separate it from pop culture nonsense, aimed at lost and desperate people looking for quick answers and confirmation bias, and have some media literacy.

So, how does astrology work?

: ̗̀➛ Astrology has NOTHING to do with the physical constellations. Astrology is based on the signs on the ecliptic (the path of the sun amongst the constellations, which is the plane of the earth's orbit).

: ̗̀➛ The equator has 15 constellations, and the ecliptic has 13. So why do we have 12 zodiac signs? This is because babylonians divided the ecliptic into 12 equal segments of 30 degrees each thousands of years ago. The ecliptic was divided into SIGNS. 12 constellations were just used to identify where in the sky each sign would be, at the time for ease of astronomical mapping/calculation - it is merely symbolic. This is why Opphiuchus is not the 13th Zodiac SIGN, although it is a constellation (and has always been known).

: ̗̀➛ Another reason why they are not based off the physical constellations is because the actual size of the constellations vary massively in size. Below is a representation of this:

: ̗̀➛ As you can see, Virgo, for instance is huge, and on a literal view overlaps into the next segment because the constellations do not all equally fit a 30 degree division. Yet, we do not give scorpio like 5 days for its season, because the physical constellation does not dictate anything meaningful.

This gives us the tropical zodiac, which is to do with the earth's seasons:

: ̗̀➛ The solstices are therefore reference points for Capricorn and Cancer (tropic of capricorn and tropic of cancer), not the constellations themselves. Accordingly, the spring equinox is marked by Aries (with the sun entering the segment of Aries at 0 degrees until 29), and the autumn equinox by Libra.

: ̗̀➛ The precession of the equinoxes, are therefore irrelevant to astrology (and this is why vedic/sidereal is, in my opinion inaccurate). The slow change of the direction of the earth's axial tilt, over around 26000 years, cause a precession of the equinoxes. This means, the segment of the sky that used to be identified by the Aries constellation from the earth's position at the time, is now looking at Pisces. But as we know, astrology has nothing to do with the physical location of the constellations. Vedic astrologers use sidereal positioning, aka taking into account the precession of the equinoxes, yet they still divide the ecliptic in the same way. This causes problems, leading to many branches in vedic because few agree on where aries actually even starts. But, I will write an extension of this segment in a future post on tropical vs vedic/sidereal astrology.

Where does astrological meaning come from?

As explained above, constellations do not give us meaning, the planets in the signs do (of which the signs' names just derive from where the constellations were at the time, i.e. are merely symbolic).

Astrology operates in a heliocentric context, in that its setting is derived from the solstices (as the sun is what gives us life) and the ecliptic etc, but is geocentric in function in that the meaning comes from how the celestial bodies going through the signs affect us on earth; it is all about OUR relation to the planets, not constellations.

Returning to the quote above (as above so below...), what happens up up there reflects its energies down on us below. For thousands of millenia, astrologers have developed an accurate pattern recognition framework which aligns with the maths and astronomy. This was done using the ephemeris, which tracked the trajectory of celestial bodies against the context of worldly (mundane), or natal events. Eventually, this knowledge could be used for predictions, (to understand transits, or for electional and horary astrology), by utilising the knowledge of how the trajectories of the planets and their interactions with eachother in what sign and house affected what.

Why does it affect us? Well, all the things that happen above us radiate energies. But when I talk about energies, I do not mean it in some spiritual sense, it is quite literal. Everything has frequencies. As mentioned above, astrologers, since the Bablyonian times, have studied these patterns and created an objective framework to align with it. Physical energies or not there is direct causation. The moon for instance, affects the tides on the planet because of its gravitational pull. We are 70% water, there is little reason to deny that the moon cannot affect us either (it does). Perhaps you might understand your broken leg as because of being hit by a car. But astrology can assess the chart of the event, and transits to your own chart to provide further explanation of why you got hit by a car in the first place, and why it caused a broken leg etc. Subsequently, the energies of what happens above relate to the themes found in planets, signs, houses, aspects, asteroids etc - but these energies are not set in stone as explained above.

Ultimately, it is disappointingly small-minded to think that there is nothing 'greater' than the physical reality we tether ourselves to. We are in fact part of something bigger; and again I do not mean this in some culty spiritual hippy sense. It is literally a fact, the world and cosmos at large is so vast, mysterious, and beautiful, how could anyone deny the interconnected web we are all collectively a part of. We might never fully understand the mechanisms of the universe, but what we can do is use the information we do have to make use of it and help inform us on how to live better lives. The fact there is something 'greater' inherent in our lives, connecting everything, which is objectively difficult to truly grasp, is not a reason to reject it. A lot of people who are averse to astrology (which used to be me) are those who pride themselves on rationality and objectivity, yet are restricting themselves to a very particular interpretation of what rationality and objectivity means.

With all this said, I hope it has helped someone understand and appreciate astrology better. There is such a fascinating rich and deep history to it, spanning various cultures and eras, making it difficult to at least not enjoy learning about even if one still chooses to not practise it. I would like to reiterate, however, that to truly embrace astrology and its millenia of knowledge, evidence, and practice behind it, one must divorce its concept from pop culture astrology.

Do me a favor and don’t scroll past this post

Read as much as you can, I understand attention spans but if that’s a problem scroll until you see the 🥚

I’ve manifested:

Superpowers (aerokinesis, pain healing, some sort of Ergokinesis, telekinesis, fast reflexes, future predicting even if it’s just little events)

+ some telekinesis because I closed my door, felt like something was gonna happen and then the door locked on its own without me touching it…and you can’t lock it from the other side, you HAVE to be on the inside of my room and only I was there I don’t share a room

Magic into my life + my belief in magic

Attracting magical people

Lucid dreams

Stopping a future event from happening

Seeing stars in my room for a second

Confidence

Being perceived as beautiful

seeing my aura without practicing AT ALL

Money (this manifestation happened three times without me thinking much like not kidding OMFL)

Feeling like a master manifestor and shifter

Feeling motivated to script

Slight height increase

Being a chaos witch (not the marvel version, the belief version) + maybe a familiar too???? I was meditating and I randomly had a vision and thought simultaneously “black cat” and then some ‘time’ later (not the same day) I hear a cat outside my room at night)

Forgetting about my horrible past (not completely because it was a learning experience but I just don’t think about it like I used to)

A mini Disney princess nature expirience that made me cry

Attracting birds + my connection to my element (wind/air)

Spells I cast working

Paranormal activity (not the door locking)

🥚

And what’s crazy is that sometimes I compare my manifestations to people who manifested fairies or went into the void and I beat myself down…

Even if it was little, even if it was such a little thing compared to these other manifestations you see on YouTube and tumblr and shit.

I want you to understand this

YOU STILL MANIFESTED A DESIRE

You still manifested! You manifested a desire!

That might not take a lot of bravery in the eyes of many loa people but on a world we’re less than 1% know and believe and USE this shit?? Everyone thinks we are Kookoo for cocopuffs for believing in this what they call “delusional witchcraft” or whatever.

You stared them right in the face and said “fuck you I don’t care, I HAVE A CHANCE to get what I want! And I fucking will!”

It took a lot of bravery to do that, this world is full of copy cats. You stand out! You’re you! You’re original, you are MAGICAL!

So yeah august 26th I’m heading to college…I want everyone who Is scared of change, scared of outcome, scared of it all to do me a favor okay?

Manifest it all! Conquer the world!

Sometime…you’ll be on your death bed and either be thinking “wow I did it!” Or “shit! Why did I let my fear block me???”

(Unless you manifest absolute immortality)

But don’t worry you aren’t on there now are you?

This is the story of YOUR life

Not theirs

Yours

Love, Luvely

Random observation about "Lucky colours"

Wearing the colours associated with the Sign of each house in your chart will bring more luck to the matters of that house. The following is my personal observations about each house.

The colours of 1st house sign: people notice you more and comment on your appearance more, boost of confidence, high contrast look (the colours seem to make your features stand out)

The colours of 2nd & 7th house sign: look pleasing/harmonious on you, people are nicer towards you, good for going on dates or attract someone, good for meetings involving contracts, exchange, going to the bank

The colours of 3rd & 9th house sign: you feel more adventurous and more carefree, sometimes more impatient, good for exams/ tests, could have some delays or difficulties in traffic though

The colours of 4th house sign: look naturally good on your skin, match your features, comforting, peaceful, great to wear at home

The colours of 5th house sign: feel more exciting, fun, exuberant, boost of vitality, could be the colour you wore a lot when you were a kid

The colours of 6th house sign: increase or decrease of vitality and health, I usually avoid the colours of this house, they feel unlucky to me

The colours of 8th house sign: pretty similar to the effect of 1st house, but people seem to be more bold or in some case, rude when interact with you, I think these colours should be worn in a more private settings, could make you feel heavy and not in a great mood

The colours of 10th house sign: people take you more seriously, you look more professional, could bring some delays or heavy moods

The colours of 11th house sign: lucky colours, things go more smoothly, especially in public places, great when you need to do a presentation

The colours of 12th house sign: peaceful, great for travelling, also like the 4th house, these colours usually match the colours of your features, they blend and make a soft/ low contrast look

Colours of each sign (just a few examples)

astro notes: daily transits 8/30

Friday presents a day of shifting energies, beginning with a focus on service, nurturing, and emotional connection, and later transitioning to a more dynamic and intense atmosphere. The morning opens with harmonious aspects that encourage empathy and fulfillment through helping others, while the afternoon brings more challenging energies that may trigger power struggles and feelings of vulnerability. The day invites us to balance our need to nurture and be nurtured with the necessity of facing and integrating our deeper emotional complexities.

Key Influences

Sun Trine Ceres (7°32' Virgo–Capricorn):Service and Fulfillment: The day begins with a harmonious trine between the Sun in Virgo and Ceres in Capricorn, highlighting themes of service, care, and nurturing. This aspect suggests that fulfillment can be found through acts of service, particularly those that are grounded in practicality and responsibility. Both Virgo and Capricorn are earth signs, emphasizing a grounded, realistic approach to caring for others. There’s a focus on the nourishment we give and receive, whether in a literal sense through food and physical care or in a broader sense through emotional support and guidance. The trine encourages us to find satisfaction in being useful and contributing to the well-being of others.

Cancer Moon Sextile Uranus (4:53 a.m.) and Trine Neptune (8:25 a.m.):Intuition and Empathy: As the Moon moves through nurturing Cancer, it forms supportive aspects to Uranus and Neptune early in the morning. The sextile to Uranus enhances intuition and a willingness to embrace emotional spontaneity. This aspect encourages a break from routine, allowing for innovative or unexpected approaches to caregiving and emotional expression. The trine to Neptune further amplifies empathy, compassion, and emotional sensitivity. It’s a time when intuition is heightened, and there’s a strong desire to connect with others on a deep, emotional level. The Cancer Moon’s nurturing qualities are emphasized, making this a morning well-suited for offering and receiving emotional support.

Moon Ingress into Leo (10:09 a.m.) and Opposition to Pluto (10:13 a.m.):Emotional Intensity: As the Moon shifts from Cancer to Leo, the emotional tone changes dramatically. Leo’s fiery energy brings a focus on self-expression, creativity, and the need for recognition, but the immediate opposition to Pluto in Aquarius introduces an element of power struggles and intense emotional dynamics. This aspect can trigger deep-seated fears, jealousy, or the need to control, leading to potentially explosive interactions. The opposition between the Moon and Pluto often brings hidden emotions to the surface, forcing us to confront issues of power, control, and emotional intensity. This can manifest in conflicts or intense emotional exchanges, particularly in relationships where underlying tensions have been simmering.

Sun Sesquiquadrate Chiron (Afternoon):Vulnerability and Healing: Later in the day, the Sun in Virgo forms a sesquiquadrate with Chiron in Aries, highlighting issues of self-esteem, vulnerability, and the need for healing. This aspect may bring moments of self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy, particularly around our ability to be of service or to fulfill our duties. Chiron’s influence often brings up old wounds, especially those related to identity and self-worth, asking us to confront and heal these areas. The sesquiquadrate is a minor challenging aspect, suggesting that these feelings may not be overwhelming but will require attention and care. There’s an opportunity for healing, but it may require confronting uncomfortable truths about our own vulnerabilities.

Integrating the Influences

Morning Nurturing:Service and Empathy: The morning begins with a strong emphasis on nurturing and emotional connection. The Sun’s trine to Ceres encourages acts of service that provide a sense of fulfillment, particularly when grounded in practicality and responsibility. This is a good time to focus on caregiving, whether that involves supporting others emotionally, taking care of practical needs, or simply being present for those who need you. The Cancer Moon’s aspects to Uranus and Neptune enhance intuition and empathy, making this a morning where emotional support flows easily. Embrace opportunities to connect with others in meaningful ways, and trust your intuition in navigating emotional dynamics.

Mid-Morning Shift:Balancing Intensity: As the Moon moves into Leo and opposes Pluto, the emotional tone shifts to one of intensity and potential conflict. This is a time to be mindful of power dynamics in relationships and to avoid letting emotions get out of control. The opposition to Pluto can bring hidden issues to the surface, so it’s important to address these with care and honesty. If you find yourself in a power struggle, try to step back and assess the situation objectively, recognizing where control issues or deep-seated fears may be influencing your behavior. The Leo Moon’s energy encourages self-expression, but it’s crucial to channel this in a way that promotes understanding rather than conflict.

Afternoon Reflection:Healing Vulnerabilities: The sesquiquadrate between the Sun and Chiron later in the day brings up issues of self-worth and vulnerability. This aspect may highlight areas where you feel inadequate or where past wounds are still affecting your sense of self. It’s a good time for reflection and for addressing these feelings with compassion and care. Consider how you can integrate the lessons of Chiron, using your vulnerabilities as a source of strength and healing. The Sun in Virgo’s focus on service and responsibility can help ground these feelings, encouraging you to find practical ways to work through them.

🩵 Sagittarius Moon

GUYS? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN SOUTH KOREA RN??

THE NTH ROOM SCANDAL APPARENTLY HAS 200 FAMOUS K-CELEBRITIES, POSSIBLY INCLUDING KPOP IDOLS INVOLVED IN THIS AI DEEPFAKE CHAT ROOM AND TAEIL FROM NCT JUST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE GROUP BECAUSE OF SEXUAL AND MANIPULATIVE ABUSE ON A MINOR???

Yall better start manifesting your faves aren't on that list of K-celebs in the chat room cus IK for a fact I'm not seeting BTS on there

PLEASE I CANT AFFORD FOR BTS TO BE ON THAT LIST MY ENTIRE THEME SURROUNDS YOONGI

i’m in such disbelief right now and beyond disgusted.

i really hope y’all are choosing your morals over kpop; because we do not know these men at all. i will never side with or defend a predator and a criminal, even with little to no proof. even if there is the smallest chance he may be innocent, i will always believe the victim first.

some of you, as fans of the boys for years and him in general, i know you must be feeling disappointed and betrayed. you’re not dumb for previously supporting him, as we couldn’t have possibly known. but now is the time for a reality check and it’s time to wake up and take a step back. this just goes to show that we know absolutely nothing about them.

for sm to just outright put out a statement on their own before any rumors even surfaced and immediately kick him out? this has to be insanely serious and i’m terrified of what he could’ve done. the crazy thing is with everything currently happening in korea with the telegram situation, and korean women constantly being in danger in general because of the men there, i’m not at all surprised that celebrities are being exposed. sm has protected criminals before, and held onto lucas when his scandal came out as well as other artists who have been exposed for similar crimes. i can’t even imagine the severity of the current situation. we’ve seen what happened with the burning sun, and these men are not immune to being misogynistic, vile human beings.

members have already unfollowed him and deleted posts with him in them; his best friend of 17yrs has unfollowed him. the company taking the initiative and him getting kicked out of the group in less than a second before anything even came out, no denying the claims or even trying to defend him. that should be enough to tell you and understand how serious this actually is. i am beyond disgusted with him and this whole situation.

i sincerely hope the victim is doing okay and praying for them to heal and get the justice they deserve. and remember that your love for these celebrities should always be conditional, because we do not know them. it’s their job to put on a show and show you their public persona, but behind closed doors? we don’t know what they’re actually like. we put them on a pedestal and yet we don’t know what they’re really capable of. they are still men after all. i hope the police are taking this seriously. there needs to be consequences and these women need to be protected.

let this be a lesson to all of us. they don’t know us, and we don’t know them, not really.

ALWAYS choose morals over kpop. and as women, we should be standing with the victims.

maybe not all men, but enough of them. and maybe not all men, but somehow always a man. and going forward, i will of course still be supporting nct as a whole. however, keeping the situation in mind, i will be supporting from afar for a little bit. i hope the rest of the members are doing okay, and hopefully no other members were involved, but this today, just shows that they can always surprise us. you never think it’ll be your fave, until it is.

let’s hope this causes a domino effect and more of these people are exposed and charged for what they’re doing.

sending love to anyone who has ever experienced sexual violence or has been targeted and been in a similar situation. it is not your fault and it never was!

love you all and my dms are always open if you need to vent. <3

im sick to my stomach

may the victim and their family find peace, healing, and reparations and may only the worst things come for taeil

Look at pookieeee , he’s so cuteeeee😭

Look at his smile. 😊

understanding the North Node + how to step into your power.

by @astrobaeza [ PAIDSERVICES ₊ masterlist ₊ tips ]

The north node in astrology represents where we need to evolve to reach our highest potential. It is one of the lunar nodes with a "south node", the point indicative of our evolved traits and even who we might have been in a past life. The NN is associated with growth, challenges, karmic lessons that we need to overcome in order to reach it. If south node is our natural strengths, north node is our natural weaknesses. Through working towards developing the traits of the sign of your north node in the area of your natal chart it sits in will not only help your soul grow during your lifetime, but even help you tap into unreached potential.

Here are the descriptions for the different signs and houses:

*(NN = abbreviation for North Node.; SN = abbreviation for south node)

1st House NN (7th H SN)

challenges : identity, confidence, appearance. you might struggle with having a solid sense of self and this results in being perceived as unstable to an outside people. constant misprojections of self that may lead to unnecessary disagreements and misunderstandings with others.

how to evolve : focusing on developing a strong sense of self away from the opinions of others will help you grow as a person.

2nd House NN (8th H SN)

challenges : values, security, self esteem, material resources. you might struggle with the aforementioned but also be over-indulgent. might be "money-hungry" or feel like you are lacking when you don't have lots of money or material possessions.

how to evolve : develop a set of values and esteem separate from how much you make or what you have. let go of the fear of financial instability. it's okay to be broke pookie! heal any wounds involving your self esteem by leaving behind anything that makes you feel like you lack, literally and metaphorically.

3rd House NN (9th H SN)

challenges : communication and learning, relationship with siblings. you tend to have difficult relationships or experiences forming bonds with people immediate to you, like siblings and neighbors. from what I've seen, this could also indicate having a speech impediment or learning disability that makes it harder to interact with others.

how to evolve : focus on learning new things and openly being curious. stray away from traditional belief systems, educational institutions, try to have better communication with siblings or neighbors and establish lines of communication with them (like call your brother everyday, go on a daily walk and talk to your neighbors, establish a study routine, develop strong relationships with your teachers and parents)

4th House NN (10th H SN)

challenges : balancing personal and professional life, working too much, overemphasis on career and reputation, being disinterested or unfocused on home/domestic matters, lacking family traditions and/or a family, having difficulties starting a family or being a part of your own.

how to evolve : move away from relying on career achievements for validation. create a secure home life through buying a home, starting a family, or strengthening connections to familial and cultural roots.

5th House NN (11th H SN)

challenges : being creative, balancing creative pursuits and social groups, being too focused on groups and friends and not enough on yourself, being romantic and playful, having kids. you have a problem with not being a part of a group. may depend on friends to feel special and seen.

how to evolve : move beyond a group identity, release attachment to validation from a group, strengthen creative talents, find every opportunity to have fun, develop a strong sense of individuality, take care of kids (your own and others).

6th House NN (12th H SN)

challenges : shifting from solitude to service, moving from a focus on solitude, spiritual introspection and hidden matters, to practical service daily routines and health, applying spiritual practices to daily routine.

how to evolve : minimize self-sacrificing tendences, create and stick to routines, maintain physical health in addition to spiritual health, establish a career aspiration and create routines to reach your goal.

7th House NN (1st H SN)

challenges : balance of self and relationships, moving from a focus on personal identity and self-expression to developing partnerships and relationships

how to evolve : release excessive focus on personal needs, learn to rely on others and be vulnerable, create harmony in one-to-one relationships, understand that you do not have to do life by yourself and it is okay to be loved.

Interpreting a Solar Return Chart:

How can we start?

This is my first post about astrology 🎉🎉 and I start with my beloved technique to study a Solar return chart….

You can start analysing your Solar Return chart by looking at any significant aspects the Sun ☀️ is making to other planets or points in the chart,such as the Ascendant (how you appear in the world😎), Midheaven (vocation/life path)👩‍💻descendant (relationships) 💘and IC (inner and home life), 🏠also known as the angles.

🫧It is also important to note the House it is in for where a major part of life will play out for you this year. You can also look to the Nodes, Asteroids, and Chiron, or any other points you may be interested in. 🫧

🫧For example, if your Solar Return (SR) Sun ☀️ is trining Neptune and opposing Uranus, you can expect to undergo some significant identity changes and perhaps become more spiritual, creative, or intuitive (other aspects notwithstanding). 🫧

🫧If the Sun reaches the 10th House, you career and public image may be a key feature for you this year.🫧

If the Moon is then in Sagittarius ♐️,you may crave exploration and adventure.

🌿If this occurs in the 11th House, you may prefer to do so in company and desire new friendships or community involvement. Any planets that are near the angles become very significant for the year.🌈

🫧Then, you can look at your Rising Sign and where its planetary ruler is for your general temperament and default style, and where this may be expressed. 👀

~{You can also note any “critical degrees” for feelings of urgency or heightened importance (usually the most significant anaretic degrees are 0 and 29º but you can also use 13 and 26º for Cardinal Signs; 8-9º and 21-22º for Fixed Signs; and 4 and 17º for Mutable Signs)}.~⬆️

For example, if your rising sign this year is Aquarius ♒️,you may move through the world 🌎an unusual or humanitarian perspective and come more into a more unique, individual sense of self.

If Saturn, the ruler of ♒️, is in the 1st House, you may also be more hardworking and mature. In the example above, Jupiter is also in the 1st, conjunct the Ascendant, lightening the load and bringing a sense of expansion and luck even!☘️

🫧Simply search 🔍your way through all of the options planets and points noting which sign and house they fall in and the aspects they make for an overview of what your next solar year may look like!🫧

🌿Once you have moved through all the planets s and points, you can look to see if there are any clusters of planets, or stelliums (3+), in any area of your chart for where they may be a concentration of focus and energy for the year. 🌿

🌿For example, if you have multiple planets in the 5th house, you may experience heightened creative output this year as well as an expansion of your artistic hobbies: more play, fun, and romance into your life, or even consider having children! 🤰🏻

You can also look to the summary of elements, modes/qualities, dualities, hemisphere occupation, and chart shape. For example, if you have mainly Fire Sign placements 🔥 you can expect and active and energetic year. 📶

🌿If there is a majority of Cardinal Sign placement, you might begin many projects or take more leadership roles. If there is more Yin Signs occupied, you might become more introspective and receptive. 🌿

⬇️If the upper hemisphere is fuller, you might become more outer-facing; and if the chart is a see-saw shape, you might oscillate between two modes of operating or points of focus.

Finally, you can compare all of this back to your birth chart to see how they relate.

For example, if you are a Aquarius Rising ♒️ for your most recent Solar Return year, which is Natally in the 3rd House, then factors of communication, expression, and local neighbourhood may also be brought to the forefront for you (you can opt to view your Solar Return chart both singularly and in combination as a bi-wheel).

So that’s the meaning of your Solar Return chart and how to read it! I hope it’s been insightful for all of you!!
