Patron Saints for World Mental Health Day

Today is reserved for, among many other things, World Mental Health Day. Raising mental health awareness is vital to helping to understand and accept the challenges we face internally.

Here are four patron saints I've picked to share that represent common mental health challenges that you can pursue intercession with!

✧ St. Dymphna, patron saint of mental health (nervous and mental afflictions), who experienced intense trauma herself in her lifetime

✧ St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, patron saint of stress relief

✧ St. Jude Thaddeus, patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations

✧ St. Christina the Astonishing, patron saint of mental illness who experienced a profound return from death after experiencing a seizure

Mercury Observations: Our Anxieties & Getting Through the Day.

*DO NOT plagiarize my writing or repost on other forms of social media under any circumstances.*

*these are my PERSONAL opinions, ideas & interpretations on how these anxieties could manifest on a surface level. Keep in mind, other aspects, are also factors.* ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

Mercury is the messenger of the gods and is the natural ruler of the nervous system; therefore, its location in a person's chart is a crucial predictor of their nervous system's health, resilience, and stress tolerance. This also explains why many mercury-dom individuals are often anxious and prone to shaking. Mercury also rules the third house, symbolizing the conscious mind, perception, thinking patterns, relationships, communication, neighborhoods, and family. In contrast to the 12th house, which may reveal our unconscious fears, wherever Mercury is in our charts (or Mercury's signs such as Gemini and Virgo energies) can reveal anxiety and mild fear that is much more prevalent in our everyday lives. ⋆⁺₊ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Gemini in the natal chart might represent areas where we tend to over-explain and share excessive amounts of information. It may also reveal parts of our lives where there is frequently so much gossip or where it feels impossible to escape someone's opinions. Finally, it may also indicate where you might initiate gossip or drama or engage in it. Since it's mercury ruled it can also show where you tend to be nervous, for ex: gemini in the 3h might feel anxious (gemini) when driving (3h).

For instance, with Gemini in the fourth house, you may discover that your family is frequently talking about you or they love to gossip in general. You could overshare many details regarding family drama or issues with others. Or Gemini in the eighth house, where people comment on your body, sex life, and even finances. You might be continuously questioned about these topics. With Gemini in the seventh house, you may find that people are always reaching out to you and being nosy about your romantic or business relationships. However, you might also overshare regarding your love life and relationships, so be mindful of who you vent to. Gemini in the second house might cause you to reveal too much about your finances, resources, and possessions. People may discuss your possessions (e.g., "Oh, see how she has this or look at his new car! "),OR they may question your beliefs and what you stand for. Gemini in the sixth house may cause individuals in your everyday life to ask you intrusive questions or always appear to be scrutinizing your actions. With Gemini in the third house, your siblings may continually pry into your affairs (or you may gossip with them as well lmao), and your neighbors may be very nosy, peering through the blinds, criticizing you, etc.

On the other hand, Virgo could show where we are trying to keep things together. But we find that our need for perfectionism or even keeping up a specific image makes us feel even more frustrated or stressed. These problems could also lead to health issues or poor management of your routine/ care for your body due to that stress.

For example, Virgo in the 7th house and you could be very picky when it comes to picking your partners and be concerned with the image the relationship projects into the world. Virgo in the 10th house could overthink when it comes to their reputation and career or even be cautious and concerned about the opinions that the figures of authority in their lives have of them. Virgo in the 1st house could be very critical about their appearance and what people think of them off first impressions. Virgo in the 6th house could be particular in their routine, in general, and at work. They could also analyze or criticize almost every aspect of their physical body. Virgo in the 9th house could be very strict with themselves about their philosophies; the thought of their pre-existing beliefs being brought into question could make them panic. If in higher education, they could strive to be as organized as possible and have the best grades. Virgo in the 12th house, and you could constantly contemplate your fears, worry about every little thing you did throughout the day, or even berate yourself for your mistakes right before bed. Virgo in the 3rd house and you could be very critical about the relationship you have with your siblings and family members, constantly wanting to keep up a well-liked, orderly and polite image in your neighborhood and within your loved ones and peers.

Since Mercury governs the central nervous system, its placement may suggest where we require specific reassurance or tend to be more readily overwhelmed by these concerns than in other areas of our lives.

For instance, Mercury in the 12th house, and you could find yourself lying awake at night thinking about your fears. There could be a sensation of feeling voiceless or like there is no point in speaking up for yourself since you feel like no one will listen to you anyway. So you would need a lot of reassurance that your fears and concerns are valid. And that your words are as well. Mercury in the 10th house, and you could care about what the authority figures in your life have to say, or you could worry about your reputation and career choices. So you would need reassurance that you don't have to micromanage your image or constantly have to be ten steps ahead with your life choices. Mercury is in the 11th house, and you could get very nervous when it comes to the opinions of your community and friends and what they have to say about you and your goals. So you would need reassurance that you are free to be whoever you want to be without the need to ask for permission or live up to this image for others. Mercury in the 5th house, and you could feel anxious about nurturing your hobbies, inner child, and romantic interests. You could need reassurance that you are free to express yourself in the ways that seem most genuine to you, not to please others. Mercury in the 7th house, and you could feel like you have to be there to listen and consistently communicate in your relationships, both platonic and romantic. You would need reassurance that you can take time to set boundaries in your forms of communication so that you don't have to feel like you're hesitating or beating around the bush all the time. Mercury in the 9th house and you could become anxious when reflecting on your personal philosophies or beliefs, asking yourself am I truly standing up for whats right? You would need reassurance that no one is born knowing where they stand on certain topics or issues, especially societal and cultural ones. You create your own through series of mistakes, learning and unlearning.

You can use your mercury aspects, if any, whether they are harmonious or challenging, as ways to release that energy most beneficially to you; some examples:

Mercury-Sun aspects: When you live your life in the most authentic way possible (sun), you will find that you would need less reassurance from others and can communicate (mercury) in a much more direct, confident, and honest manner.

Mercury-Saturn aspects: When you find balance and try to be more stable, structured, and disciplined in your life (Saturn) without it becoming restrictive or limiting, you will find you get much less backlash from others, and you gain much more respect when you communicate (mercury). You can be truthful without being cruel, and in turn, people will seek your wisdom instead of resenting it.

Mercury-Venus aspects: The more you invest in your image, beauty, fortune, relationships, and pleasures (venus), the easier it will be to be diplomatic, charming, and relatable when speaking and relating (mercury) to others. You could benefit from writing poetry as well.

Mercury-Mars aspects: the more you learn how to be a powerful and assertive leader in a healthy manner (mars), the easier it will be to mobilize people or lead your peers with your words (mercury) and actions (mars) without being looked at as being overbearing (mars). you could be an amazing motivational speaker.

Mercury-Jupiter aspects: the more you begin to embrace your out-of-the-box ideas and visions (Jupiter), the easier it will be to communicate them and share them with others (mercury) as long as you reflect and make sure the energy remains insightful without becoming unrealistic.

Mercury-Moon aspects: The more you practice and reflect on becoming an emotionally intelligent individual, the easier it will be to comfort (moon) yourself and others without your words (mercury) being harsh or critical in the moments you are feeling overwhelmed. you could also be great at writing poetry, short stories and songs.

Mercury-Pluto aspects: The more you pride yourself on your deep and complex mind and nature (pluto) without demonizing it or behaving through an extreme perspective, the easier it will be to transform (Pluto) your views (mercury) and also the mindset of others without it being seen as threatening or dogmatic. Those with squares and oppositions should learn that there is also a time and place for their comments as not everyone will take your bluntness so lightly (I say this as someone with a mercury square pluto aspect, and my mouth has gotten me in trouble many times lmfaaaoooo).

Mercury-Uranus aspects: The more you channel your inventive (Uranus) and thrilling (Mercury) mental energy into more practical forms of expression, the more you will feel able to express your genuine self without feeling censored. Embrace the chaos without allowing it to overwhelm you.

Mercury-Neptune aspects: the more you accept that you see the world from different perspectives & hone your intuition and spirituality (Neptune) the easier it will be to enlighten others through your ideas and words (Mercury). The key here is to be able to nurture this imaginative energy without it spiraling into an illusion. another placement that can benefit from poetry or songwriting, practicing tarot and art that nurtures your spiritual side.

I am physically disabled and chronically ill so I’ve a very limited amount of energy and have to deal with lots of nonstop pain.

Energy is my most valuable resource, and thats why I offer it to my gods.

I consider actively practicing witchcraft (doing divination, crafting something, cleaning or cleansing my altar, etc… anything that requires physical activity ) an offering because it takes away most of my energy. This is more valuable than any food or object I can offer. They value the intention behind the offering over everything else.

I know they’re fine with this, they want the best for me, they understand that I am limited when it comes to what I can and what I can’t do regarding my practice.

☽ Closet Witch Tips ☾

Hi, everyone! I spent years living as a closet witch and wishing I had more freedom to practice. Nowadays my living situation is different which allows me to do things I couldn’t before, but I know that there are many witches out there who are still struggling with this so I decided to share some tips on how to practice in the broom closet

Keep in mind these are all suggestions, you don’t need to have an altar, a book of shadows, practice divination, etc if you don’t want to

Altars

(Disclaimer: you don’t need an altar to practice, but in case you still desire to have one)

Inside a jewelry box

Shoe box

Tin can

Matchbox

In a video game such as animal crossing, the sims, minecraft, etc

The #SelfCare app has a little altar in which you can decorate with crystals, herbs and tarot cards

Notebook (then add the items by drawing them or maybe making collages)

Make/buy a little terrarium (artificial or real)

I’ve heard of people using plant vases as altars as well

Divination

(In case you can’t buy tarot decks/runes/etc)

Make your own tarot cards/oracle cards (it can be a little tiring but it’s what I did when I couldn’t buy my own)

Pendulums (doesn’t have to be an actual crystal pendulum as you see on witchy stores, anything on a string will do)

Make runes out of seashells, rocks, clay, etc

Flip a coin for yes and no questions

Give dice divination a try

Deity Worship/Work

Wear jewelry that reminds you of them (ex: sun necklace for apollo, moon ring for artemis, etc)

Wear their associated colors

Practice devotional acts such as reading about them, praying, drawing something for them, writing them a letter, something related to your deity’s domains

Keep a notebook in which you can write their myths/domains/associations/etc or write prayers/poems, make drawings of things they like, etc

Keep a small altar

Watch movies that remind you of them

Play video games associated with their domains

Study something they have domain over

Make them a playlist

Make them a pinterest board

Make a devotional blog

Light a candle in their honor (it’s ok if you can only use LED candles)

Keep something associated with them on your desk/shelf

Keep a crystal associated with them near you

Make a little deity jar and keep it near you

Have a devotional plant for them

Spend time in nature in their honor

Take care of yourself

Book of Shadows

Notebook

Notes app

Google docs or google keep

Tumblr blog (either private or public, up to you)

Somewhere on your phone/computer

Simple Practices

Enchant your jewelry with intention

Use color correspondence in your clothes/makeup

Meditating

Open your windows to cleanse your room

Keep crystals around you

Physically clean your space

Take showers/baths with the intention of cleansing yourself

Try practicing some kitchen magic if you cook

Enchant your food/drink

Make sigils

Keep plants in your space associated with your intention (ex: protection, creativity, etc)

Keep in mind that you’re not any less of a witch for not being able to do certain things, your practice is still valid

☽ Feel free to reblog with more tips! ☾

₊˚⊹ astro notes volume five

── .✧ tuts if you need them

── .✧ these are based on isolated placements, so take it with a grain of salt since your entire chart matters. these are mostly based on western astrology

── .✧ this time around a lot of these are just random opinions and not based on literal facts

˖༉ your pisces and 12h placements can show what area of life you’re spiritually protected in. an example: having a pisces mars can mean you are spiritually protected well when others hurt you or hate on you and that someone can get really bad karma for doing so

˖༉ aquarius' are so obsessed with what they can’t have or just doing the opposite of what people tell them to do. if you tell them to leave you alone, they’ll want you more. if you tell they can’t do something, they’ll wanna do it more. if you tell them they shouldn’t sky dive without a parachute, they will

˖༉ the midheaven is so important when it comes to your life’s purpose. not just the north node. for example: a capricorn midheaven is meant to work hard and become wealthy or at the very least successful in some way

˖༉ leo’s are known for being the “popular ones” of the zodiac signs, but cancer's are often very popular too. the moon is always shining bright in the sky just like the sun. it’s also why cancer placements crave lots of attention

˖༉ because of numerology capricorn and aries are an amazing pairing, even though astrologically based on their elements they aren’t. i sometimes find the letterology of the signs to have more accuracy when discussing compatibility

˖༉ the descendant can tell about the qualities you like in others. for example: an aquarius descendant can indicate you like others that are super weird/unique and are free spirits that make everyone feel like they can be themselves

˖༉ when at a lower vibration taurus placements will apologize and then continue to do the thing that they already apologized for. they may also know they’re in the wrong yet still argue their point

˖༉ pisces and 12h placements usually find it very difficult to quit bad habits. especially if they’re a pisces moon or have their moon in the 12h

˖༉ everyone says scorpios are loyal, but i’ve noticed that they won’t be if you don’t play by their rules. sometimes if you cheat, they’ll cheat

˖༉ nobody really talks about it but sags are huge flirts. sometimes they’re players though. i would go as far as to say they sometimes have better game than libras

˖༉ when discussing elements then aries and libra would technically be compatible, but numerically they’re not at all. they’re fatally attracted to one another and libra energy really admires aries energy, but they shouldn’t be together

˖༉ people with 5h stelliums enjoy being busy a lot and constantly doing things. sitting around too much will make them feel depressed. they aren’t usually huge homebody’s unless they have a lot of water in their chart

˖༉ i like cancer placements don’t get me wrong but at times they can come off really cheesy or corny with some of the things they say

˖༉ taurus and 2h placements like to act tough on the outside but often they are actually hurting on the inside. they’re very sensitive and take things to heart

˖༉ aries and aquarius’ often end up in romantic relationships together. aries are most compatible with aquarius’ compared to other signs

˖༉ your capricorn placements can tell you what area of life you will need lots of patience in. example: a capricorn venus indicates you need to be very patient with your loved ones

it’s my solid return today!! so grateful to share my birthday with the feast of the archangels 😇🪽

Ways to Celebrate Pretty Much Every Pagan Holiday

(And most of these work no matter how discreet you have to be!)

Food- No holiday is complete without a feast! Have a potluck, try a new recipe in the kitchen, or just contemplate your usual dinner and be thankful that you have food. Lots of sabbats have popular recipes or ingredients that you could try making, or incorporate those types of foods into your meals.

Spend Time Outdoors- Have a picnic, go on a walk, or just sit on a chair and observe nature for a little while. Feel the air and observe how the seasons have changed.

Pay it Forward- Celebrate family, do something nice for your friends, or volunteer in your community.  Go out and help people. ‘Tis the season!

Clean and Cleanse- A lot of holidays focus on some type of new beginnings. Clean your space and cleanse yourself of any residual energies you may be holding onto. Getting everything tidy and organized is a great way to give yourself a foundation for the coming year, no matter when that year begins!

Self Reflect- Think about where you were 365 days ago. How much you’ve grown, what you’ve gained and lost, what lessons you have been taught. What are your goals for the future? What is your next step?

Regular Worship- If you have any deities that you regularly interact with, consider giving them an offering and thanking them for just being a part of your life.

I think we need to bring local shrines back. Not in the sense of like, a church, but somewhere in a local community where offerings to the spirits, fae, deceased loved ones, can be left. not too dissimilar to community shrines to local spirits in Japan.

astro observation pt 10

YAYYY we are at part 10 omgg this feels so good. I am so happy I was able to complete it until this part !! thank you so much to everyone who reads my blogs<33

1.Moon in houses 7-12, could mean an extroverted mother. All three of us have our moon in these houses and our mother is indeed quite extroverted.

2. People with Mars in 5th house may pursue their hobbies seriously than most other people, their hobbies usually stem from their passion and desire for the things they are doing, and at some point they might think about turning it into a professional thing.

3. Ruler of 5th house in 2nd/8th/11th can actually mean there is a chance you are able to earn through your hobby or make it professional. With 11th, its more likely to be so imo

4. Some placements that can indicate money through partnerships (or even marriages): Ruler of 2nd house in 7th/8th/11th. 7th house in Jupiter

5. People with Venus/Neptune or even moon i may say, in inner houses usually have very rich inner world, these people may like daydreaming, creating scenarios and things like that a lot

6. People with Capricorn in 2nd house may really like to be careful with their money. One thing I would like to mention is, if they should be extremely careful of being greedy or thinking of scamming people of their money, or else they may get instant karma, even vice-versa, if someone tries to steal on them, they will get theirs too.

7. People with Sag/Aquarius in 2nd house may really be open to trying new foods or eating casually at times, whereas people with Virgo/Capricorn may be careful and critical of what they eat.

8. I have felt if someone's moon sign matches someone's venus, the moon person may feel an unexplainable pull or attraction to the venus person, even if thats not romantic.

9. People with Neptune aspecting Venus, Pisces Venus, Venus at Pisces degrees, Venus in 12th house and Neptune in 7th house should pay a little extra attention to who they are dating, as they can find themselves loving "versions/illusions" of people who they have created or were in the past, and not really people themselves.

10. Speaking of which, they should also be careful of not only who they love but who loves them, as people might try to play pretend with them at times, these people have so much unconditional love.

11. Although most women already have this power, but people with pluto/moon aspects have a heightened ability to feel and connect with their environment and even figure out if something is wrong with it.

12. Girls who have Libra Jupiter/Jupiter in 10th house are very likely to marry in status and wealth.

13. People with Pluto in 3rd house may really like to be careful about divulging information, and I may say, any kind of information and plan and present it some good thought and consideration.

14. Whereas people with Uranus in 3rd house are unpredictable in this sense. They may reveal their entire life story or may not even open up on what they did in holidays lol. People like this may reveal their lives to people in first meeting or may never talk about things even in months of friendships, spontaneous talkers too, but this should be checked.

paid readings are open :)

ahh thats it, i love you all<33

Secular Celebrations - Autumnal Equinox

From there, we move into the fall and come to the Autumnal Equinox and my favorite time of year. September brings the second harvest - more fruit, lots of gourds, and the rest of those autumn vegetables. Of course, there are some plants that will continue on well into the winter, but this is when most of the produce comes off the vine, and we begin storing them up for the colder months. The year begins to slide more noticeably toward winter, the leaves start to turn, and when the equinox comes, the day and night are equal once again.

This is a time for restoring balance. If things are feeling off in your home or in your life, take steps to restore that equilibrium and re-establish your routines. Cleanse your home of any lingering “summer grump” and make sure you air the place out once the weather isn’t so blazingly hot. I mean, who doesn’t love a bit of fresh autumn air in the house, especially when it has that little tinge of burning leaves to it? Mm, chef kiss, perfection. I mean, in 2020, we’re all sick of that because of the wildfires, but STILL. Do that end-of-summer cleanout, get ready for back-to-school if you have little ones, and start changing out your wardrobe.

There’s still time for a bit of last-blast outdoor fun, if you’re so inclined. Provided that the weather cooperates, you might plan one more beach day or camping trip or afternoon at the lake. Visit a farmer’s market or a harvest festival and have some fun. Visit that pick-your-own-produce farm again and bring from some seasonal fruits and veggies. I love apple-picking at this time of year, and it’s probably the thing I miss most about living in Pennsylvania. (Also, Stayman Winesaps are the tastiest apples on earth, and nothing you can say will change my mind.)

Go on a walk or a drive to view the changing leaves. Oh, and mark the day you first see leaves starting to turn. That’s a fun thing I do every year, I call it Turning Day. If there are maple trees in your area, those will probably be the ones that change first, so look for those. You can use fall foliage, acorns, and gourds to start decorating your home - real or silk, whatever works best for you.

This is another big holiday for bonfires as well - honestly, bonfires are pretty much part of ALL the holidays, they’re just fun - so if you can attend one or have one safely, that’s something to consider. Or maybe just have one more picnic or cookout before the weather turns too chilly for it to be feasible. Have a fall feast for your near-and-dear with lots of lovely seasonal produce and pies, maybe a roast fowl or brisket or fish, whatever you like best.

Speaking of food, this is my baking season. It’s finally cool enough to have the oven going without suffocating myself in the heat or running up a four-figure energy bill trying to keep the indoor temperature manageable. So if you’re a fan of baking, why not give that a try? There are plenty of recipes to choose from, like soda bread, pumpkin bread, spice cake, maple cookies, and so on.

Keep that sense of community going by making a little bit extra and sharing it with friends and neighbors. Some people do their autumn feasting around the equinox instead of in November, when Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. There is a holiday in September called Harvest Home that directly corresponds to this, so if you’d rather skip Thanksgiving but you still want to feast, that’s something to look into.

Start stocking your shelves for the winter too. Put up pickles and preserves. Refresh your canned goods and non-perishables, maybe save a few bottles of whatever libations you made earlier in the year. If you have kids, celebrate the idea of this gathering-in with a scavenger hunt. Have them help you find signs of autumn or needful items for the pantry.

As the year turns and the harvest comes in, meditate upon your own personal harvest. This might be a journaling activity. You’ve sown, you’ve tended, you’ve reaped. Now what is your harvest? What have you learned from the year? What abundance has entered your life? What have you lost? What surprised you? What didn’t go quite as you planned? What are you thankful for? What do you regret?

Meditate also upon the balance in your life. Do things FEEL balanced? Or are they out of whack? If so, how can you address this? Do you feel you need to change things, or is it more prudent to let them reach equilibrium on their own? What outside factors are affecting that balance, and what can you reasonably affect on your own?

The Full Moon In Pisces and Lunar Eclipse, occuring on September 17th 2024, will bring very intense emotions connecting us deeply to the water energy. You may feel an intense need to close one chapter and begin a new one, with raw, vulnerable emotions rising to the surface. You can expect heightened Neptunian energy, bringing deep emotional waves under the influence of a full moon in a water sign.

A strong connection to feminine energy may occur, urging you to spend time alone for reflection and emotional release. The combination of Pisces and Virgo energy fuels creativity that might inspire you to work on something artistic or start a new project. It’s a great time to turn those ideas into action. This is a highly spiritual time, connecting you to other realms and tuning you into the call of the water element.

This energy will also bring your toxic patterns to light, giving you the chance to recognize and release them. Remember to go with the flow and let this lunar energy guide you to be your true self, reacting to situations as your heart directs, even if it stirs up a little chaos.

Actual everyday "witchy" habits

I've seen some lists around the website, but they're too fancy for me. Here are things I actually do everyday.

🌱First thing, open all the blinds for the plants.

☕Put cinnamon in my coffee filter (not in the cup itself, it blends better this way).

📿Wear 2 charms currently. One for general soothing & protection, the second to find a new job.

🃏Bring some magical item with me, like cards, potion, crystals, herbs, book. Even if I don't use it, it keeps my mind at a better place.

🌳Take the path with the most trees. I try to take the path that will provide me with more nature & sunshine, to & from work.

📜Try to learn one thing. Either I scroll witchy media or read a page or two. It's usually one small new fact.

📔Easy journaling. Journal entries of only a few lines, multiple times a day. One thought, one entry.

No pressure. Also drink water 🥤

tip jar

Veiling/dressing modestly in the heat (because “aren’t you hot” questions are annoying enough without actually being unnecessarily hot)!

I made a silly little acronym for you, and that’s WELLNESS! :D

W: Watch how other people do it. There are plenty of people both religious and not religious who dress modestly for whatever reasons, and looking for inspiration on the kinds of things they wear might help you out in ways I can’t!

E: Evaluate your health. Are you able to dress modestly in such a way that doesn’t flare up any health issues? Do you have skin problems that can’t handle being covered in the heat? Is it so bad you need to stay inside all the time anyways and you’re allowed to just free-for-all your wardrobe? You might have come into wanting to dress modestly already with an idea of what you wanted to cover consistently, and that might change depending on what medical needs you have.

L: Light colors. Lighter colors reflect sunlight and don’t hold heat as easily as darker colors do.

L: Loose cut. Allow air flow to cool you down! This also means try not to layer too much with overlapping layers, look into things like dicky collars it you like a collar but don’t want to layer a whole buttoned up shirt under a whole other shirt, and other such things. Except for veiling, in which case having something up high and tight off your neck is the best!

N: Natural fabrics. If it’s made of plastic (like polyester) it’ll trap heat in. Cotton and linen are your best bets!

E: Except wool! Wool will also trap heat. Always make sure you check what the actual properties are of the fabric you’re buying, there are natural fibers that insulate and there are synthetic fibers that don’t. If you want to broaden your horizons you’re going to have to google a funky word every now and again.

S: Stay on top of water consumption, sunscreen (for what’s exposed), and where you can go to cool off if necessary. Yes, it’s important for everyone, but especially if you’re more covered!

S: STOP IF YOU HAVE TO! No style of dressing is worth your health. If you find dressing modestly too cumbersome and dangerous for your health, CUT IT OUT! Know the signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Know the signs of dehydration. Know when you just need to take a break and separate yourself from the heat.

Hold a prayer card of Her with you constantly & look at it when you are struggling (alternatively, make one on some paper!)

how to manifest with your jupiter sign

this post feels long lost due, I had many asks on this so I will make a post on this one <33

Jupiter is a planet of faith, and optimism and abundance. However, you don't really have a planet specifically made for "manifestation", but if you think you had to guess one, I am guessing it would be Jupiter. Even in vedic astrology, people with strong brihaspati or Jupiter are considered lucky. Someone who was reading palms for me and my sister the other day said the first thing we do to see luck through hands is the Jupiter and Venus mount. But Venus is luxury you have in life and Jupiter is the fortune, I hope I am making sense. But otherwise, I have often seen 11th house be associated with manifestation

this post definitely checked my creativity and the methods of manifestations im aware of lmao. I have not taken this from any book but rather its mere observation of the charts I have seen until now, and asked my family to see if it worked for them and it made sense so its again a my theory kinda post lmao. I hope it is able to help y'all too <33 I was refraining from making a post on this one but it had a LOTT of asks so I decided to do it :) Let's gooooooooooo

use a combination of your sign, degree and house to find common grounds<33

Jupiter in:

Aries/1st house: First of all, be precise and extremely clear about what you want. If you need to put the work or you believe in taking inspired actions, please do! I would also suggest concentrating/condensing your energy in your 3rd eye through meditations. Believe in yourself and also, don't jump 10 places. I have often seen people with Jupiter in 1st house have kind of a scattered energy, to put it correctly, not really laidback, not really fierce, and I think this should be fixed. I would suggest people with this placement to work with their chart ruler and Jupiter along to find a best method that could suit them, the best one I feel like suggesting for everyone, is meditation.

Taurus/2nd house: I think people with this placement should definitely use affirmation tapes/affirmations. I would suggest methods that make you feel at peace and calm, and relaxing. Use aura meditations/ocean music before bed and calm yourself down and focus. Speak your desire into existence, using affirmations in front of mirror could be one thing you can do. If possible, make a vision board or buy a small manifestation souvenir suggesting your desire is complete. If possible, write your manifestations on a white sheet and bury them under a plant or soil in your garden.

Gemini/3rd house: Write. Journal your desires, write them down, clearly. If you guys have things like a feng shui crystal turtle, write your desires on a paper and put it under that turtle. I would also suggest using affirmations, to people with this placement, be optimistic and say good things about your manifestation. Use the law of assumption. Listen to subliminals, it may really help as well.

Cancer/4th house: FEEL your manifestation. Use music that makes you feel as if, evokes such emotions you know. Use the moon cycles for manifestation. Have you guys heard of Moon water manifestation? Basically, in a glass put some water and set intentions of your manifestation and put it under the full moon. Next day, drink that water. If you used a bigger bottle, then drink that water every time you set intentions of your manifestations. Use visualization

Leo/5th house: Have fun with your manifestation. Enjoy what you are willing to manifest and feel the vibes coming in. Be confident that yes, it is coming and it would happen. Be creative about your manifestation. Try drawing your desires if you guys enjoy arts. Create beautiful DIYs like creative vision boards while blasting music, or pretty photo frames or phone wallpapers that would suggest completion of your desires. I would also suggest using heart chakra meditations, lifting your spirits up.

Virgo/6th house: Create a manifestation routine. Something that locks you in and also, dont be too fixtated on when will it happen. Create a routine you enjoy and it can be absolutely anything. I however feel like suggesting 369 method, 55X5 method or things like so. One other thing I will say is, don't be afraid of helping someone if your boundaries are not crossed, and you may actually find that you have coincidences that lead you to what you had wanted. I would say, be open minded as well. Release pent up energy in your body time to time. I have often seen people with this placement are already very helping/people like to ask them for help.

Libra/7th house: I would suggest talking about your manifestation, in a journal, to someone you trust or even to yourself in a positive, loving way! Enjoy talking about what you want, talk about it with love, faith and optimism. I would suggest using a sigil, especially near your mirror or when you are getting ready. Use a pretty paper, and make it super cute and to your aesthetic. If its possible, clean and program the ornaments you wear, or even if its a hair tie you wear daily. By program I mean, meditating on it and setting a vibration/energy that corresponds to your manifestation. pretending as if can help too.

Scorpio/8th house: Don't talk about your manifestation until its complete, don't tell much people about it until you are close with them. Use sleep meditations (I would suggest Edward Art's sleep meditations) and please, believe in your manifestation but yourself first, that you can attract what you want. Use the law of attraction. Even though I suggest being on high vibrations, I would still say, let yourself feel your emotions, its important to feel yourself. Don't get too attached, fearful or desperate for what you want. Pray to whoever you believe when you're sleeping. Often seen people with this placement/8th house moons or stelliums have some kind of divine intervention with the things they desire. Be open to change in paths, if it is possible.

Sagittarius/9th house: Be optimistic about your manifestation. Pray if you believe in a higher deity or power. This is a very lucky placement in my opinion and you have the power to achieve whatever you want, just desire it strongly and in a positive way. Use frequency meditations, and if possible. Have faith and patience and don't be in a rush for anything. Use manifestation journals if possible. I feel people with these placements are already quite spiritual or at least aware of such topics. Use affirmations/ religious affirmations if you believe in one.

Capricorn/10th house: Talk about your manifestation, don't lie about what you want when asked, say it if its not violating your boundaries and if not, just say something neutral. I feel people with this placement, often manifest what they show, even if they are trying to be private or pretentious, its just weird. Act as if, and have some confidence. I feel people with this placement appear lucky to people so I would indeed suggest protecting your energy. This placement should also somehow be ready to accept the challenges that will come along when they ask for what they want, because these people often dream big but this placement again feels brings unpredictable things on your path. So, be open and flexible is a suggestion. But be assured, the rewards often exceed expectations!!

Aquarius/11th house: USE PINTREST BOARDS IF YOU DOO. Use subliminals, Create a manifestation journal with affirmations and pictures. Use manifestation meditations. Experiment with your manifestations, let it be, and let it go. Don't obsess about what you're manifesting. Have a positive self talk. Your manifestation is actually likely to appear when you least expect it/don't bother about it much. Random but write yourself messages/emails or success stories as if you achieved what you want, this is a very good placements for strong manifestors imo

Pisces/12th house: Use visualization, SATs coming to me specifically. Sleep in the state of wish fulfilled. Be helathy-delusional, and use crystals if you have one or are willing to use them and even better if you can charge them near ocean. Use water meditation, water-manifestation methods. Have strong faith :)) Use spells and charms. program your crystals and journals.

EXTRA: Jupiter in air signs or degrees: Watch your thoughts and words, speak your desire in existence Jupiter in water signs or degrees: Watch your feelings, feel as if and don't let your feelings consume you eitherways. Beware of extreme delusion and mark a line on reality Jupiter in fire signs or degrees: Watch your actions and impulses, take inspired actions as needed, feel the excitement but don't get reckless or mindlessly impulsive. Know the line between what you feel like doing because of an intuitive nudge, and where you are being stupid or over faithful/risk taking.

btw paid readings are open:) that's it. I hope I was able to help and this post brought some clarity. I hope you liked this post. All the best :)) i love you all <33
