Celestial Self

Inclusive divination for every identity. Free numerology, tarot & astrology — no gendered scripts, no assumptions. ✦ None of this is real. All of it is useful. → https://celestial-self.vercel.app/

[celestialselfs]

we built a divination site and the first thing we did was remove the gender binary

most tarot guides assume you're straight. most astrology sites write compatibility as "Aries Man + Libra Woman." most numerology readings don't even think about who they're excluding — because they never had to.

we thought that was worth fixing. celestial self is free numerology, tarot, and astrology — designed from the ground up without gendered scripts, without heteronormative assumptions, without asking you to translate your experience through someone else's lens.

the tools are gender-neutral. the readings don't assume who you love. the articles are written for queer, trans, non-binary, and questioning people — not as an afterthought, but as the starting point.

✦ life path number calculator — your number doesn't care about your gender

✦ daily tarot draw — 78 cards, no "he said she said"

✦ zodiac profile — astrology beyond the binary

Our tagline: none of this is real. all of it is useful.

taurus starter pack, stubbornly accurate

◇ taurus starter pack ◇

— taking 40 minutes to decide where to eat, 4 minutes to enjoy it — holding grudges against restaurants that closed five years ago — "i dont need anything nice" while owning four variations of the same sweater — being impossible to rush and also impossible to slow down once started — the specific comfort of the same playlist for three years running — saying "im flexible" and meaning "within my exact parameters" — loving someone by feeding them — "stubborn" / actually just correct

a pisces at a birthday party

youre a pisces at a birthday party.

you walk in. you hug three people you dont really know. you make small talk about the weather and mean every word of it. you refill someones drink before they ask. you compliment a stranger on their earrings and actually see them light up. you laugh at a joke that wasnt that funny because the person who told it looked nervous.

two hours in, you are in the bathroom. you are not sad. you are just so full of other peoples feelings that you need to be alone with yours for exactly seven minutes.

you come back. you are fine. no one noticed.

but the hand you washed? it remembers all of it.

a retranslation of capricorns, for people who keep getting it wrong

capricorns, a retranslation:

"cold" = exhausted from carrying everyone "workaholic" = the only thing that cant leave "unemotional" = feelings were not safe, so they got efficient "judgmental" = pattern recognition you didnt ask for "controlling" = trying to prevent the thing that happened last time from happening again "distant" = close enough to care, far enough to survive it "strict" = gentle with people, ruthless with themselves

they arent hard. they are tired of being soft in rooms that punished them for it.

scorpios are not too much, the world is just low-resolution

if youre a scorpio who:

— has three contacts in your phone under fake names — remembers exactly what someone said to you in 2019 — can tell the second someone starts lying — has a "someday" folder of people who wronged you — and also cries at animal rescue videos

youre not "too much." youre just running at full resolution in a world that defaults to 480p.

a virgo starter pack, lovingly compiled

◇ virgo starter pack ◇

— apologizing for things that arent your fault — rewriting the same email 4 times before sending — noticing when someone changes their hair, their tone, their energy — saying "its fine" while making a mental list — being called "harsh" for pointing out what everyone else saw too — caring so much it reads as not caring at all — asking "are you okay?" as a love language — knowing exactly where everything is, until you dont — the specific exhaustion of being the person who notices

Pick a card

✦ pick a card ✦

for what you need to hear this weekend. trust the first one your eye goes to.

🌙 the moon ☀️ the sun ⭐ the star

…

picked? ok here we go.

🌙 the moon — "the thing youre confused about isnt asking you to figure it out. its asking you to sit with it. not every feeling needs a resolution. some just need to be witnessed by you, by yourself, without judgment. the clarity is coming but not through thinking harder"

☀️ the sun — "you are allowed to want what you want. out loud. no apology. the guilt you feel about wanting things is not a virtue, its a habit, and habits can be broken. say it. say what you want. the universe is listening for the first time in a long time"

⭐ the star — "the version of you that went through that thing — they made it. they got you here. you dont have to keep proving to them that it was worth it. rest. you earned the rest."

reblog with which one you picked. curious if theres a pattern today

Unhinged pairings

✧ pairings that are absolutly unhinged but somehow work ✧

♈ × ♓ — one charging into battle, the other writing poetry about it. they shouldnt meet in the middle but somehow they do and its beautiful and slightly chaotic

♉ × ♒ — one wants routine. the other wants revolution. the sexual tension alone could power a small city. nobody understands it including them

♋ × ♐ — one builds a nest. the other sets it on fire to see what happens. they either destroy each other or become the most interesting couple at every party

♍ × ♊ — both mercury-ruled so the communication is INSANE. they never stop talking. nobody else can get a word in. they think this is normal

♌ × ♏ — two fixed sun sign energies in a room, one demanding attention, one refusing to give it. the standoff is legendary. so is whatever happens after

♎ × ♈ — the peacemaker and the warrior. libra talks aries down from seventeen fights a week. aries makes libra actually make decisions. they are each others therapy and neither of them wants to admit it

Queer astro take

◆ something ive been sitting with ◆

every astrology site writes compatibility as "aries man + libra woman" like the planets give a shit about gender

astrology describes ENERGY. fire, earth, air, water. cardinal, fixed, mutable. none of those words have ever had a gender. none of them. you can look it up.

the heteronormativity isnt in the stars. its in the industry built around the stars. thats a completely different thing and its important to know the difference

when i read for queer couples the energy dynamic is often clearer than in straight couples, because nobody is performing a predetermined "role." its just two people and their actual planets. its just the energies, unfiltered.

the planets dont care about your gender. they never did. anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something other than astrology

Compatibility mini-read

○ water signs dating earth signs ○

this pairing gets underrated all the time and i dont get it. let me explain why it works:

♋♓♏ → ♉♍♑

water signs need to feel safe before they can feel anything else. earth signs ARE safety. literally. they show up. they remember things. they do what they said they would do. for a water sign whose nervous system has been treated like a negotiation their whole life, this is revolutionary

meanwhile earth signs get accused of being "cold" or "practical" but what they really are is steady. they dont know how to show love through grand gestures so they show it through consistency. most people dont notice until a water sign comes along and is like "wait. you mean EVERY day? you just. show up. every day?"

the tradeoff: ○ water signs need to express feelings out loud. earth signs think "i showed you i love you by doing your laundry" ○ earth signs need predictability. water signs moods can shift like weather ○ both need to remember: the other persons love language isnt wrong, its just different

when it works, its the kind of relationship that outlasts everything else because it was built on something actually real

Hot take

◇ hot take ◇

virgos get called "judgmental" and "critical" and i need everyone to understand that 90% of the time, theyre being critical of THEMSELVES and you just happen to be standing there

like. the voice in your head that tells you your outfit is slightly off? thats a virgos inside voice at all times. about everything. including themselves most of all.

when they point out that something could be done differently, they are not attacking you. they are showing you the script they read to themselves 24/7. they are including you in their reality.

virgos are not mean. virgos are exhausted. please be gentle with them. they are being very hard on themselves right now about something you dont even know about

The signs as

✦ the signs as the way their emotions leak out ✦

♈ aries: suddenly quiet. if an aries gets quiet you should be scared. it means theyre actively choosing not to say something

♉ taurus: cooking. intensely. like "why are you making three different kinds of bread at 2am" level cooking

♊ gemini: wont stop talking. about anything. the more unrelated to whats actually wrong, the worse the feeling is

♋ cancer: writing long texts they dont send. the drafts folder is a crime scene

♌ leo: getting weirdly competitive about something that doesnt matter. "no i DO care who wins this board game actually"

♍ virgo: cleaning. reorganizing. the kitchen is never cleaner than when a virgo is having a crisis

♎ libra: being extra nice to everyone. uncomfortably nice. overcompensating-for-something nice

♏ scorpio: total silence. different from aries silence. scorpio silence has a temperature

♐ sagittarius: booking travel. "i think i need to go somewhere" at 4am with one tab open to flights

♑ capricorn: working. harder than usual. they will work through any emotion you put in front of them

♒ aquarius: researching. they turn feelings into a project. "i looked into attachment theory last night"

♓ pisces: crying at a song. the song doesnt matter. the crying was happening either way

Blog: Compatibility Truth

something that most astrology sites wont tell you because its bad for engagment:

compatibility scores are not verdicts. theyre weather forecasts.

45% doesnt mean doomed. 92% doesnt mean you can stop trying. what those numbers actually describe is the default energy between two signs. the currents youll swim with and the ones youll swim against

the swimming is still up to you

wrote a whole piece about this. including why the "easy" pairings can be a trap, why square aspects deserve way more credit, and why the quincunx (the aspect nobody talks about) might be the most interesting one

→ https://celestial-self.vercel.app/blog-zodiac-compatibility-truth.html

the tldr: no pairing is hopeless and no pairing is effortless. the best ones are where both people stay curious about eachother

[celestialselfs]

Blog: How Signs Fall in Love

wrote a thing about how each sign falls in love and honestly the scarier part was writing about what each sign is AFRAID of in love

because its always the same coin. the thing you're best at in love is the thing that terrifies you about it

some that hit different:

♋ cancer doesn't just love you — they adopt you into this tiny inner world. what scares them isnt heartbreak. its the slow fade. the unanswered text. the "i just need space" that never resolves. if your gonna break a cancers heart at least tell them why

♏ scorpio's love is basically "i will show you everything about myself and i expect the same." what scares them isnt cheating — its the subtler betrayal. the loyalty that turned out to have limits

♓ pisces falls in love with who you COULD be together. what scares them is tuesday. the dishes. the same argument again. reality hitting the dream

Zodiac Compatibility

real question. do you check zodiac compatbility before the relationship or after to figure out what went wrong

because i definitely did the second one and honestly? it explained a LOT

anyway we have a tool that does all 144 pairings. every sign × every sign. and the thing that surprised me building it — the "easy" pairings arent always the best ones?? like trine aspects (same element) feel great but they can also make you lazy. you stop growing because everythings comfortable

meanwhile the square aspects that everyone says are "terrible" actually produce people who are better at communicating because they HAD to learn

idk maybe thats copium for my dating history but the astrology checks out

go check your ex → celestial-self.vercel.app/compatibility.html
