Little Ways To Feel A Little Happier

little ways to feel a little happier

make a playlist. i like to make playlists for certain times, or situations, or vibes

get yourself a drink that you like. lately i'm really into rooibos tea, do you like smoothies? juice? sparkling water? treat yourself to a fun beverage :-)

freshen up. everything seems awful when your body is being neglected. hydrate, fuel up, move around. wash your hair, or get it out of your face if you can't. open the windows, change the sheets, maybe light a nice candle. splash cold water on your face and look out of your window if you can't get outside

connect. we are all human, and to be human is to make connections. so reach out to a loved one for a good chat. if you can't talk to anyone, write a thoughtful comment on a blog post or youtube video, write a letter to a penpal, send someone the link to a playlist you made them. spending time with a sweet pet is a great substitute for human connection if you can't do it right now

get lost in something. whether that's art, research, a great book series, a creative project... find something that makes you want to dive in and never come up for air. let yourself get curious, it's good for the soul.

similarly, learning something new is also good for the soul, and the brain! whether that's a language, a musical instrument, a dance routine, a practical skill or an interesting theory... open your mind!

let yourself be bad at things. everyone is bad at many, many things. it's perfectly human to be bad at things. it will all be okay, and we will never improve if we don't allow ourselves to. accepting imperfection is really the best way to grow and develop our skills.

1% rule. if you're feeling terrible, it can be really hard to see things ever shifting or getting better. but if there's something you can do to help you feel 1% less terrible, that's a big improvement, and it's worth trying.

what can you do right now to feel 1% better? me, i'm going to go get some water and message my bestie :-) hope you're all doing well, i took an impromptu blog-break due to IRL stresses but am back in my lane now! astrology posts again from next week xo

If there's one thing I deeply dislike is making astrology physical descriptions mostly based on white people. This happens a lot here, on X and Tiktok.

Astrology should become more inclusive

I'm surely going to create posts for my beloved BIPOC community as well.

The Natal Chart of Taylor Swift

Good afternoon (or maybe evening) to everyone! In my next post I'm going to analyze the Taylor Swift's tropical natal chart. I think that everyone knows who that woman is, I don't even have to explain that. I chose to analyze her natal chart, because she's one of the most successful singers currently and her ongoing tour is probably the biggest tour ever. First, I'm gonna put her details as an intro. Her full birth name is Taylor Alison Swift. She was born on December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA. Her birth time is 5:17 a.m. Now, we can get into her natal chart.

Taylor Swift has a Sagittarius Sun, Cancer Moon and a Scorpio Rising. This tells me that she's is tune with her emotions, optimistic, intense, passionate and energetic. Her chart ruler, Mars, is located in its own sign of Scorpio, in the 1st house, tightly conjuncting her Ascendant. Her Mars/chart ruler is in domicile and is in very strong position and it's also placed in the 1st house, which means that she has a strong personality and she naturally attract other people by just being herself, which is truly a blessing. She is basically supported by showing her true personality.

Mars and Pluto are both placed in her 1st house, which makes her powerful, ambitious, success-oriented and even calculative. She's always be hated and scrutinized by a lot of people, because both Mars and Pluto are malefic planets. People either love her or hate her. She have always seemed to people as someone who's a control freak, which can be a manifestation of this placement. Mars represents men and Pluto represents obsessions and this indicates men being obsessive with her, extremely loving her or extremely hating her. Or maybe she's the one who hates men. Who knows.

Her domiciled Mars/chart ruler also rules her 6th house, which means that she's very hard-working individual who takes care of her health. She has a lot of people who openly hate her, 'cause the 6th house is associated with the open enemies.

The thing that always gets my attention whenever I read her chart is her stellium in the 3rd house in Capricorn sign, being formed by Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. A stellium is a pattern in astrology and it occurs when there's three or more planets in one sign and house. It represents what we might focus the most in our life. path. This stellium gave me a clarity about her focusing on writing. She really takes writing very seriously and is articulative. The conjunction between her Mercury and Neptune makes Taylor creative with words, she communicates in creative and in intuitive way. Her communication might be indirect, she has never talked badly about anyone. A lot of singers have aspect between Mercury and Neptune, including Taylor. She's also very grounded, ambitious and career-oriented person, which relates to the Capricorn sign.

She also has a conjunction between her Moon and Jupiter, but this time in Cancer, 9th house. The Moon is its own sign in Cancer, while Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which is a truly lucky placement for her. Whenever I see the conjunction with the Moon and Jupiter, it mostly means that that person was born into the rich family. Same with Taylor, she grew up wealthy, 'cause the Moon represents childhood, while Jupiter represents aristocracy. The conjunction in the 9th house makes Taylor intelligent, smart and learned individual. She was a great student at school with the straight A's. This conjunction also tells me that she is lovely, nice, bubbly and can be liked by everyone.

In the context of her career, she has 10th house in Leo and Midheaven in Virgo in the 11th house. Her Leo 10th house tells me that she can work in creative field and in entertainment industry. The South Node is placed in Leo in the 10th house, which means that she might take the type of career which is tied to her spiritual calling. The South Node represents the past and she is often dressed like she came from the older times (50s/60s/70s/80s). She basically released her album called 1989 which was inspired by the music from the late 1980s. Her 10th house ruler, the Sun, is placed in Sagittarius in the 2nd house of money, throat and singing. She's always had a financially stable career as a singer. The math is mathing here.

With her Virgo Midheaven, she might be seen as grounded, workaholic, stable, clean and even calculative to the other people. Her Midheaven being placed in the 11th house means that she's supposed to work in organization or with other people. The 11th house is associated with social media, fans, internet, masses of people, finances etc. and she has always had a connection with her fans. She also uses the internet/social media to build her career and to connect more with the fans from the beginning of her career. She was even the most followed person on Instagram back in 2016, I guess.

Her ruler of the Midheaven, Mercury, is placed in Capricorn in the 3rd house and it's part of the stellium I mentioned before. The 3rd house relates to the writing, communication and self-expression and she's built her career as a songwriter. She has a lot of good aspects with Midheaven and with its ruler. Her Midheaven forms a trine aspect with her Mercury (MC ruler), Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and a sextile aspect with Jupiter. She really has a flourishing career and she is mostly liked by others. Her Midheaven ruler conjuncting Uranus means that she might have a career that no one saw before. Neptune conjuncting her MC ruler indicates her career as a musician. Neptune represents illusions and idols, so she's been idolized by a lot of people. Saturn also conjuncts her MC ruler, which indicates a stable and long-lasting career with consistency in her success and work.

She has a lot of oppositions in her natal chart, especially in Cancer-Capricorn axis. She is someone who needs to balance her emotions with stability. Her natal chart has a see-saw shape, which means that she is a balanced person in general. It's hard to categorize her.

Now I want to look at some of the asteroids. We all know that she always uses the work karma. The asteroid called Karma (3811) conjuncts her Midheaven ruler (Mercury) in the 3rd house and she wrote a song called 'Karma' and it was a huge hit last year. The asteroid Fama (408) represents fame and it's located in the exact position as her Mercury, in the 3rd house, forming a trine aspect with Midheaven. She's basically famous for writing a song and for a successful career she has.

The asteroid Aphrodite (1388) is associated with the beauty and is placed in her 10th house, which means that she's always been described by beautiful. Her Aphrodite forms a square aspect with her Ascendant, which can also indicate beauty, but she often receives negative reactions by others because of her presence.

The asteroid Talent (33154) is placed in Libra in the 12th house in her natal chart. This tells me that she is naturally artistic and creative and has a talent in negotiating. Talent trines her Moon, which means that she knows hoe to express her emotions easily. This asteroid also squares both of her Venus and Ascendant, meaning that she might have work with her artistic talents or that people always question her talents and musical abilities.

When it comes to the relationships and sexuality, I need to teel that she has a lot of placements that can indicate being gay or bisexual. No wonder why Gaylor theory is (or was) so viral on the internet. She has Venus in Aquarius, which can indicate being open to the relationships and being attracted to something that is out of the norms. Her Venus is also placed in the 4th house, which is a very private house, so even if she's open in the relationships, there could be a lot of hidden thing about her love life and sexuality. Her 7th house ruler is Aquarius Venus, which duplicate everything I wrote.

She has a 5th house and the 8th house in mutable signs, which can also be a sign of someone's homosexuality or bisexuality, 'cause the mutable signs are so adaptable and open. Her 5th house ruler, Jupiter, opposites her Uranus, Mercury, Neptune and Saturn. Her 8th house ruler, Mercury, conjuncts her Uranus and Neptune. These placements can show that she might be a sexually fluid or even restricted. Both 5th and 8th houses are associated with sex and how we express our sexuality.

Part of Fortune of hers is placed in Taurus in the 7th house. This doesn't mean her being gay/bi, but it indicates her being lucky when she is in stable mode and when she's surrounded by people. She'll always be successful if she's a people's person and uses her artistic abilities. Lucky her!

This was the natal chart of Taylor Swift. I hope you enjoyed it. Comment what do you think about that if you want to. I didn't want to call her out, I just wanted to analyze her natal chart. Thanks for understanding.

Best regards,

I’ve always had a hard time letting go because I hate endings. I will hold on to the past, people, and things. I know everything comes to an end, nothing lasts forever. When things end, that’s when a new start begins.

12h stellium with North node and personal planets I’ve seen this in 🕵🏾

Vedic 12h stelliums with personal too 👀

Whole sign 12h suns

The aspect of 12th stellium stands out more for me. As the best thing a 12th stellium can do is move away from where they once lived and grace the foreign lands, where they can find riches and favour allll under the 12h and it’s properties/themes.*hidden treasures

Neptune another 12h ruler/ - in the 4th also may benefit from this energy too
