Someone who thinks more is always better, who thinks more pressure can press anybody into a diamond.

Someone who doesn't give up, even against the advice of people who care about them.

Someone who can be materialistic, but is always giving, wanting other people to experience the joys of luxury, who thinks everyone deserves to feel safe and relaxed

I’m really frustrated at only attracting deep yet unavailable potential romantic guys. im trying to figure out how to work with my 12h leo venus cause I’m suspecting tht might be it? my leo sun is also there. my saturn’s in pisces and I was told by an astrologer years ago tht after my first return I should find it easier. will I attract more serious ppl post saturn return?

In my experience, a Leo 12H/Virgo Ascendant attracting [immature] men is a function of them getting in relationships with men who play along and often benefit from them regulating the relationship, creating a schedule for them both, and laying out an easy path for them to succeed.

For a VA, obviously getting in a relationship with a man who would "take over" or attempt to alleviate them of responsibility is a waste, because Virgo Ascendants enjoy working, and they enjoy keeping things clean.

I think the best example I can make for VA dating necessities is comparing them to mothers. When do you set a baby down and allow them to attempt walking on their own? When do you hand them the fork and allow them to try to eat on their own? When do you start holding them to putting on their own clothes?

I think stability in a relationship with a Virgo Ascendant means being able to believe that their partner is able to take care of themselves. VA's want someone they can be independent, with.

When we look at it from this perspective, I think there's many simple ways to identify if a man is truly independent, just in the way they carry themselves. I don't think you even have to challenge conversations about emotional availability if you can literally see that they have let go and don't care.

I know Virgos want to keep their feet on the ground, not just judging people immediately by their appearance and falling back into the ways they've been treated, but someone who doesn't care how they look is someone who often avoids looking at themselves.

Venus in Aries Note~

Just wanted to check in and give some thoughts,

Ruled by a Leo Mars, I think the worst decision we can make is waiting to react, waiting for someone else to initiate a conversation, waiting for people to act on our desires.

Natal Aries Venus look away, but this transit is 'the death of the loser' to me, this is the time to take potentially embarrassing risks, understanding that people are looking for anybody to even try to stand out.

Aries Venus transits can make us defensive, avoidant of being turned on by a group, but we have to remember that everyone wants to try something new. A plan might fail, a good one might still get rejected, but people not agreeing with our goals doesn't necessarily mean we should change them, or shift in an attempt to convince them.

People will respond to confidence, someone who recognizes their own beauty, someone who wants to be seen. Balancing ego is another conversation, but this is the time to put ourselves out into the light.

We make our names stick by creating friction.

Luke's Transits, March-July

March 29- Transiting Sun and Moon conjunction at 9° Aries, square his natal retrograde Cancer Mars- I think this upcoming week could describe a loss for him, or him deciding to give something up. In my mind this translates to someone saying “I could regret this, but-“, taking a risk in hopes that it’ll help the pursuit of his future. This comes off as a short-sighted decision, but not one that’s going to harm him? I could see people perceiving him as [acting out] in some way, like… bringing attention to himself by pulling the carpet from under the table. A theme I’ve noticed for him over this next month is how everything comes off as a surprise, different from the scheduled plan he’s used to, and how his chart seems to want to lean into that energy. I do think, over the past few readings, I’ve described a building confidence that I think we’ve seen play out, and I think these upcoming transits describe someone who is comfortable enough to take risks, who is able to face criticism without feeling destroyed by it, and someone who know they’ll wake up to work tomorrow even if people don’t agree with him. Considering this aspect is really rooted in an eclipse taking place at the end of the month, I could also see him speaking out politically in some way, or making some kind of statement that [makes his position clear] on relevant issues. A Sun-Moon conjunction in Aries can show someone acting righteously, fighting for what they believe to be justice, but it could also be a time for someone to clarify that they don’t support the fighting at all. April 5- Transiting Mercury, Venus and Saturn conjunction in the 9H, trine to his Pluto. The same conjunction, trine to a transiting Mars, conjunction his Moon in the 12H-

In my last reading for him, I noticed a pattern of aspects to his Pluto describing a relationship with contracts, him dealing with themes of commitment and control to advance his career. This time, as we see Mercury and Venus both retrograde through Aries, I think we’ll be seeing him release or announce a project that shows he’s still actively working with people. I did ask around to see if he’d announced anything to be released in April, and there’s no knowledge of anything, but I do think all the trines seen in his chart this day lean to it being a surprise, something sudden, specifically something I think he’s very proud of and will [brag about] more than we’d usually expect? With all this interaction in his chart, leading back to his 9H, I could also see this being a time for him [travelling far to make an unexpected appearance], or [being caught travelling far], this could be a time for more ‘paparazzi’ pictures and maybe having private business exposed in some way. In all, I think all these trines speak to him being brought to the public, being the center of discussion, having something new announced to everybody. These trines do also last for a few weeks, coming back around as Mercury and Venus go direct, so this does make me lean toward him announcing a new project, something that he’d be posting content for, a project that he’s able to be [freely proud] of.  

The week of April 25th- Transiting Jupiter transits 20° Gemini, trine his natal Aquarius Jupiter, 7H/11H-

A Jupiter-Jupiter trine contributes to the belief that April will be about upward and forward growth, but I also think the 20° influence here speaks to… how surprising it will be to him, too? I think that’s a theme that seems to stick out for this month, that while he is seeing progress in the goals he’s set his mind to, I don’t think all the success he sees will be intentional, or planned. I wouldn’t reduce this to just ‘going viral’, but I do think that could be a contributing factor. Jupiter is about expansion, knowledge, learning, and I think the greater focus is more people becoming [aware] of him, becoming someone more recognizable, I could even see this taking the form of an interview.  

April 29- Transiting Mercury at 14° Aries, opposite his natal, retrograde Libra Jupiter, 9H/3H-

This Mercury-Jupiter opposition is the first major aspect that reaches into his personal life and feelings, highlighting what I think will be a time for him to reflect on the relationships he has with people. I could see this taking the form of him posting old pictures, or writing a [caption] crediting people for how hard they’ve worked, and how ‘that example has pushed him to try even harder in his own career’. In all, I think April is a very [inspiring] month for him. I do think… more attention can open him up to more criticism, but based off transits, I think we’ve been seeing him slowly building a sense of confidence that isn’t shaken by nasty comments the same way. That isn’t to say they don’t have an effect, and won’t maintain his desire to keep some distance from the public, but I think he’s losing out on that feeling of a need to hide from people. Like I said before, I think he’s accepting that his career isn’t one gust of wind from being blown away, that he is able to make more of the opportunities he’s had, and I think we’ll start seeing a level of [comfort/ease in being social] that hasn’t been common for him.

Week of May 19- Sun enters his 11H, Transiting Uranus applying a sextile to his Natal 28° Cancer Moon, Transiting Mercury at 20° Taurus, square his Saturn, separating from a trine to his Neptune-Uranus sextile-

This is another week where he has a lot of heavy transits going on, but I do think they continue to describe someone gaining [comfort/confidence in being within the public eye]. I could see this week being as literal as possible, the influences speaking to people taking and posting new pictures with him, but… to reach a little further down the line, I think the press surrounding season four will allow him to feel a bit more comfortable around fans, like the focus of [the show] being off of him alleviates a bit of the stress related to peoples’ range of different, explosive responses. Since we are talking about the middle of May, I think we could be seeing more, new promo for the new season too, which I think [will actually please multiple sides of the fandom, showing that everyone is getting their time?] I do try to be considerate when talking about fast, loud, impactful influences, because I don’t want to tell people to expect the most extreme interpretations of every influence, but I do think May speaks to a continued positivity, a desire to interact with people. 20° is a degree related to ‘surprise’, which is why I keep bringing it up, and I think… while there is a lot of surprise surrounding him, I do think his presence itself could act as a surprise too—and in an era where he’s been very hands-off, I think it’s fair to expect that any major publicity would be a surprise.  

June 4- His natal 28° Cancer Moon is the center of a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, an exact square to Venus in Aries, and another sextile to the transiting Moon in Virgo-

I do think the beginning of June speaks to changes happening for him, but in this way, these influences give off the energy of someone… ‘choosing their own needs over another persons’, [cutting someone off either publicly or socially to protect his own needs]. It is definitely easy to point at this as a time for ‘breakups’, but the sextile to the Moon in Virgo tells me the reason for pulling away has more to do with his professional life. He could very well be cutting off someone within his personal life to protect the professional, but I think it’s better to keep an open mind about what he’s trying to protect specifically. To be direct about it, I think it’s about more than just ‘protecting his name’, or saving his reputation in some way—not that I see him facing any threats, but this is a time for cutting off people who oppose his boundaries.

Week of June 20- His natal, 2° Aries Venus, conjunction a 1° Saturn, exactly square to a Cancer Jupiter, and sextile to a transiting, 3° retrograde Pluto-

When looking toward the end of June, I do see this being an isolating, but confident, influence. While the previous months centered themes of openness, sharing himself with people, I think June speaks to his need to protect himself, putting him in situations where he’s pushed to say [‘I don’t care, I have to watch out for myself’], or even going as far as [‘you wouldn’t share the same genuine concern for me, so you aren’t worth the effort’], going past not arguing with people and completely shutting conversations down. Another way I think this can be interpreted is him calling out [‘fake love’], differentiating the appreciation he has for people who genuinely support him, and separating himself from people who use his name to attack other people. I do think this is a more reasonable theme considering the increase in press for season four, showing how he genuinely wants to support his cast mates. Unfortunately I do see this being a time for hate and criticism to increase again, speaking to that greater pattern of people getting bored without new content to talk about, but I think a big theme for Luke this year is that he’s learned what to not take seriously.

The week of July 4- Transiting Venus enters a conjunction with Uranus, in his 11H, Transiting Mars at 9° Virgo, sextile his natal Mars-

Looking at the start of July, I think we could see him spending more time with his friends, maybe being more willing to post pictures with friends he ‘knows he can trust’, drawing a line on the work he’s had to do to clean up his social life. This brings back one of those themes that I’ve seen brought up throughout nearly all of the readings I’ve done for him, and while I still think this is a personal theme we might not see much of on our side, I do think it’s coming to a peak this year. I still wouldn’t expect him to outwardly disown someone, but returning to that theme of [being confident in setting boundaries], I think we’ll see him be more direct about how protective he is, how serious trust is to him, and how he’s given up trying to be patient with people who don’t respect that effort from him. When it comes to the Mars-Mars sextile, being between Virgo and Cancer speaks to his character, because he’s not someone who’s looking for a fight or an argument. He’s someone who sees his efforts being wasted and decides to put that attention into more productive pursuits. He’s not trying to burn anything down, but just keep a steady path toward the success he knows he wants. He doesn’t need help finding a vision for his career, he needs help from people who believe in him.  

July 11- The Sun at 19° Cancer, opposite his Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn, 12H/6H-

Taking place in the middle of July, I think this opposition has two strong possibilities, the first being him pursuing education in the sense of… [‘finally learning’ something he’s wanted to know about for years], or this transit could speak to him receiving credit for talents he hasn’t has greatly acknowledged yet. I’d describe the theme of this opposition as [working hard to prove he’s learned something new]. In a way, I could also see this taking the form of him talking about auditioning for new roles? I just think the most important factor of this transit is how unexpected it would be for him, like if he did actually pursue a role in a horror movie. From my perspective, the goal in his mind would be to expand his work history, focusing on trying to show how dynamic he can be.

July 17-19- Venus at 14° Gemini, trine his natal Jupiter, 11H/3H, Venus at 16° Gemini, trine his natal Sun, 11H/7H-

Being some of the last major transits to take place in July, I think these trines from Venus speak to the continued focus he still has on his career. I know the focus of these readings is truly Nicluke, trying to see if and when they’ll get together, but these representations of Venus show where his focus is. The same planet the rules over relationships also rules over teamwork, diplomacy, working together with other people, and in every way, Venus is working to benefit his success in his career. I don’t just avoid mentioning A* for any reason, but when it comes to the influences that speak to the relationships he’s having, I see someone who has a very serious and professional mindset, someone who is trying to be smart and calculated about the moves they make. While we do get articles every other month lamenting over single paparazzi pictures between them, with the astrology alone, I don’t see someone who is focused on developing love, with anybody? And to bring it back to N/L, this is exactly why I tell people it’s a good thing nothing is being rushed, because I just don’t see his focus being there. I see someone who is finding themselves, figuring out how to stand up on their own, and someone who wouldn’t benefit from trying to fit himself into someone else’s life. Through many months, [independence] and having the freedom to associate or disassociate from whoever he wants seems to be an important theme, so for the first half of the year, I don’t see him being with anyone in the way we want him to be with Nicola. But I think the confidence he hopefully does find through this time period is something that will benefit any relationships he has in the future—and also seems to have a direct connection with his career now.

Nicola's Transits, April-July

Week of April 3- Transiting 16° Gemini Jupiter conjunction natal Chiron, opposite her Saturn, 3H/9H-

Thinking about how this conjunction would relate to her specifically, I think we could see Nicola posting old clips of [Derry Girls], reflecting on her past work, talking about the challenges she faced as a small actor, but ultimately appreciating all she learned from what she had to push through. It may not center Derry Girls, but I do think these transits center themes of ‘a loss of faith’, talking about ‘how she found the confidence to keep going’, and ultimately speaking about her success as if ‘she has no other choice but to push harder’. This is a theme that could also affect her present time, leading to a loss in faith of something or someone in her life, but considering Saturn’s influence in her chart, I think this time will be more reflective for her. A big influence I see here too, how vulnerable she’s trying to be, and how she wants people to understand who she is as a person. I definitely think this could come out in an interview, but it feels more personal than that to me?

April 6- 16° Aries Sun trine natal Saturn, square her Mercury, 1H/11H/9H- I think this is a more personal transit for her, expressing her own desire… similar to one I described for Luke a few months ago, wanting to take more control of her social life. For her, I don’t think this is as plain as cutting people off, but… saying something along the lines of [‘guess all you want, but only my real family knows my secrets’], not necessarily encouraging people to keep trying, but showing that she is not bending to people trying to dig into her life. When I think of how these transits could apply to her career, I think this could take the form of her breaking one contract and signing another, or making a declaration about a lifestyle change, feeling a need to [‘cut off distractions’] in order to benefit her lifestyle. I think this square to Mercury is important here, because I think it’ll be very hard to avoid being misunderstood as resentful, or angry, when she’s simply acting on motivation that she’s been building in private. I think the beginning of April has Nicola… at the risk of being misunderstood emotionally, but I also don’t see her being the person to confuse herself trying to explain her feelings to people. In all, I think this is a time for her to make her feelings known and act on them, regardless of who disapproves.

April 19~- An Aries Sun enters her 2H, before transiting into Taurus, Transiting Mars at 0° Leo, creating a Grand Trine between her natal 0° Aries Mars and 1° Sagittarius Venus- With the Sun entering her 2H, I think the second half of April speaks to… the previous transits, with how she isn’t trying to cut people off, but spend more time with the people who care about her and her actual needs. For us, this could take the form of her posting pictures with longtime friends, but I think this Grand Trine centers themes of [‘running across the world just for a hug’], showing how far she’ll go for the people she loves. Again, I do think this month has some pretty personal influences, so I doubt every move she makes will be made public, but I do think the month of April speaks to Nicola… not being betrayed, but realizing what it means to align yourself with people who support each other’s success, and that it’s her own responsibility to focus her love and attention toward people who don’t make her [compete]. She’s never seemed like the person, but this month is a realization that you don’t have to step over other people to reach success, and that [you also don’t have to follow in the footsteps of people trying to pull you up and over others]. I think, if anything is made public, it would be her appreciation for [‘humble and caring friends’].

May 6- Mars at 9° Leo, square her natal Pluto, 6H/8H- I know people were asking me ‘when Nicola would stop playing/get serious’, and I think the beginning of May is the month for a more serious attitude. Unfortunately I do see this being a time of people trying to step on her toes, disrupt her, question her every decision, starting any kind of argument they can about anything she does. In a way, I don’t really see this being much different to the usual cycle for Bridgerton stan, turning on the actors or their side characters in wait of the new season, but I think this will center the [‘responsibility she has with the fame she has’], framing her as if she’s acted recklessly, or without consideration for how people feel. In truth, I think we can simply expect people being irrational, unrealistic, and that this transit is simply a challenge everyone has pushed through repeatedly, with her and every other Bridgerton actor. When it comes to how this square could affect her personally, I don’t see her being the kind of person to struggle with the basic [Mars-Pluto] themes of ‘fighting for control’, but I do think this will ignite challenges with her feeling a lack of control over her growing success, like it’s difficult to maintain the person she is while still fulfilling the ‘responsibilities’ she has. If anything, though, I do think this will come back around to her remembering that she’s done a lot with her career, and that performing for the public isn’t as important as helping them, having a lasting impact on peoples lives and doing all she can to make them better. Sagittarius degree Leo Mars, it’s worth losing a few friends if it means you can help feed a few dozen new ones. Sometimes change requires sacrifice, and hers seems to be [people struggling to respect her individuality, and expecting even more from someone who only gives help out of genuine concern for people, not for praise or attention].

Week of May 14- Jupiter at 24° Gemini, opposite her natal Uranus, 4H/10H, Transiting Sun enters her 3H before moving into Gemini- While the beginning of May comes off difficult for Nicola, I think this Jupiter-Uranus opposition speaks to how quickly these themes will turn around, showing how she refuses to give up on wanting to reach out to new people. I think… something I’ve noticed in her transits the past few readings is that she doesn’t define her confidence by acts of strength. It isn’t about arguing, yelling, fighting, ‘proving’ anything, her confidence rests in the ability to go without responding, knowing that people who really understand her know her actual character. This is something that’s developing with age too, that [‘she’s done enough to explain who she is’], that [‘it shouldn’t be a mystery anymore’]. It’s about taking herself seriously, taking her own interests seriously, and acting on the things she wants to have in life. It's like people throwing pebbles in her path trying to make her lose direction, they may have been difficult to walk across at first, but after finding her balance, they’re an annoyance that aren’t going to distract her from a path she is familiar with. She can’t be led astray if she knows where she wants to end up—at that point, even sincere loss in direction can be corrected, because her goals are clear to her.

Week of May 25- Transiting Venus at 18° Aries, square her natal Capricorn Sun, 1H/11H, Transiting Saturn at 0° Aries, conjunction her natal Mars/1H- [‘Separated by work’], [‘obligation over promise’], I think the end of May is a time of her actually, directly choosing her career over somebody, or over another opportunity. I don’t think this is anywhere near the first sacrifice she’s had to make in her career, but I do think… based off Saturn’s influence, that this will be one of her first times ending a relationship with someone for the better of them both. It's not about either person being bad, being ‘toxic’, or that they fail to support each other, but that each of their definitions of success cannot be given proper attention while they still try to force their connection. I don’t think this is purely romantic, about an actual relationship, but I do think [‘losing love, letting it go free’] is a big theme for the end of this month. Like I said before, I don’t see her actually losing much over these few months, but I do see her shifting more and more into someone who is independent, confident, and who is holding themselves to a promise of putting themselves first. While it may be challenging, it is worth the hardship, and I think she’s aware enough of that to remain committed to her own cause.

June 7- 16° Gemini Sun opposite her natal Uranus, 3H/9H, Transiting 24° Leo Mars trine her natal Uranus, 6H/10H- Looking toward the start of July, I think these aspects to her natal Uranus speak to a new sense of creativity, a new pursuit, or within context, a new an unexpected role for her. In a way, I could see this being a time for her [Doctor Who] role to come back into the spotlight, having people talk about… [‘how comfortable she seems in a role that isn’t expected of her’], people very positively receiving her effort to expand out—this is why I think this transit could speak to a new role too, because I think this focus is her receiving love for how diverse her skills are. In some ways, I could see people questioning the decisions she makes this week, arguing that [‘she’s lost focus of the reason people support her’], but as I’ve explained through multiple readings, I don’t think these disagreements are something that’s going to shake her confidence. In transit, and in life, the focus should be encouraging each other to try new things, to chase after new experiences, and to aspire to follow in the footsteps of people who did it before.

Week of June 17- Mercury transiting 16° Cancer, opposite her natal Mercury, followed by another opposition, at 18°, to her natal Sun, 5H/11H- With this pair of oppositions, I think the middle of June could be a time for her to pull away, reserve herself, and maybe clarify feeling [‘overwhelmed by the attention’]—appreciative of her success, but needing a break from having to absorb punches from all directions. These oppositions, though, describe someone… who isn’t going to find that peace at home, behind a locked door, because she can’t escape her life in the one place it all leads back to. In my opinion, just based off transits, I could see this being a time for her to take a vacation, or to make a statement that she needs [a week and a half~] away. When thinking about how else these oppositions could affect her, I could see this leading to disagreements within her personal life, but obviously this is something we’d very likely never see. While the previous two months were difficult for their own reasons, June seems to be a month that Nicola is pushed to defend herself creatively, not just arguing with people, but coming to an understanding that some people just don’t believe in the same dreams as her. This 3~ month period, to me, shows someone trying to find independence within their personal life, mainly through coming to understand that there are some people you cannot convince. Some people [don’t want to believe] that she can succeed, and making her career out trying to prove those people wrong will only overshadow the fans she has now. I think this is the point I’ve been trying to work up to too, it’s not that she’s developing more confidence, but coming to face a Capricorns biggest lesson, that selfishness is not inherently evil. That having your own goals is not inconsiderate of people who have different goals. We all bear the responsibility of creating our own future, and to hold back in fear of people possibly disagreeing only denies us great opportunities. In all I think July is the time for Nicola to realize that, while a reserved silence protects her from most drama, [protecting herself] is going to mean being willing to defend those dreams, to argue that she is not unrealistic just because [‘people are afraid to think as big as she does’].

June 24- Transiting Venus at 18° Taurus, sextile her Venus, trine her Sun- With this Venus-Venus sextile, I think the end of June would be the time for someone close to her, like Luke or other cast members, to show appreciation to Nicola for the way she [‘brightens up a room’]. [‘making it easier to work, making it enjoyable to come into work’]. I think the last week of June, if any, is going to be what pulls everyone out of the rut she seems to be pushing through. I think it is just valuable to understand… her challenges are external to her, and they’re rarely factual. Another factor I think is important is that… this doesn’t seem to be a test, but that these challenges have become [normal] for someone who is finally comfortable. While it may be bittersweet, its through being able to completely ignore antagonism that validates her confidence, her belief that she can push through anything, or anyone. It isn’t able being flawless, perfect, trying to become immune to criticism, but accepting that she is successful because there are people who love her the way she is. For as loud as people may scream at her, say they want her to fail, her [success] is factual. The opportunities she’s had are factual. So… at a point, it lays on Nicola’s shoulders to believe that her ability to succeed is factual. Separately, I wouldn’t see this being a time for her to be avoidant, or refusing to acknowledge (social media), but I do think this month is reinforcing the confidence that is communicated through her refusal to move for anyone.

Week of July 7- Transiting Sun at 16° Cancer, opposite her Mercury, and inconjunction to her Saturn, Jupiter at 6° Cancer, opposite her Neptune, 5H/11H- Looking toward the start of July, we see another Sun-Mercury opposition take place in a different form, alongside the mentioned inconjunction/opposition pattern. As we get into the new month, I think we’ll finally see Nicola shaking off that shame, right back to a place where she feels she can express herself freely, or share parts of herself without fearing people twisting it against her. Of course… honestly, while we do these readings to see if and when Polin will come together, I think this is yet another reading that shows her coming close to the end of the journey of learning to protect her independence and confidence, but we’re still not at the end even in July. I think a theme that continues to be pointed out is how self-aware she is, how she understands that she needs to move through each lesson slowly, and that trying to force anything will only turn good people against her. People can say she isn’t enough, that she needs to try harder, but I see her staying in the lane she is now, because she knows exactly what works for her. For as much as she seems to appreciate the input of others, it’ll never convince her to change the person she is, and this is a boundary we’ll have to become familiar with as her career continues to grow. She isn’t expecting people to avoid eye contact, to not ask questions, but think about the questions we’re asking and how that could come across to someone, even as a person who constantly has cameras on them.

Nicola's Transits, April-July

Week of April 3- Transiting 16° Gemini Jupiter conjunction natal Chiron, opposite her Saturn, 3H/9H-

Thinking about how this conjunction would relate to her specifically, I think we could see Nicola posting old clips of [Derry Girls], reflecting on her past work, talking about the challenges she faced as a small actor, but ultimately appreciating all she learned from what she had to push through. It may not center Derry Girls, but I do think these transits center themes of ‘a loss of faith’, talking about ‘how she found the confidence to keep going’, and ultimately speaking about her success as if ‘she has no other choice but to push harder’. This is a theme that could also affect her present time, leading to a loss in faith of something or someone in her life, but considering Saturn’s influence in her chart, I think this time will be more reflective for her. A big influence I see here too, how vulnerable she’s trying to be, and how she wants people to understand who she is as a person. I definitely think this could come out in an interview, but it feels more personal than that to me?

April 6- 16° Aries Sun trine natal Saturn, square her Mercury, 1H/11H/9H- I think this is a more personal transit for her, expressing her own desire… similar to one I described for Luke a few months ago, wanting to take more control of her social life. For her, I don’t think this is as plain as cutting people off, but… saying something along the lines of [‘guess all you want, but only my real family knows my secrets’], not necessarily encouraging people to keep trying, but showing that she is not bending to people trying to dig into her life. When I think of how these transits could apply to her career, I think this could take the form of her breaking one contract and signing another, or making a declaration about a lifestyle change, feeling a need to [‘cut off distractions’] in order to benefit her lifestyle. I think this square to Mercury is important here, because I think it’ll be very hard to avoid being misunderstood as resentful, or angry, when she’s simply acting on motivation that she’s been building in private. I think the beginning of April has Nicola… at the risk of being misunderstood emotionally, but I also don’t see her being the person to confuse herself trying to explain her feelings to people. In all, I think this is a time for her to make her feelings known and act on them, regardless of who disapproves.

April 19~- An Aries Sun enters her 2H, before transiting into Taurus, Transiting Mars at 0° Leo, creating a Grand Trine between her natal 0° Aries Mars and 1° Sagittarius Venus- With the Sun entering her 2H, I think the second half of April speaks to… the previous transits, with how she isn’t trying to cut people off, but spend more time with the people who care about her and her actual needs. For us, this could take the form of her posting pictures with longtime friends, but I think this Grand Trine centers themes of [‘running across the world just for a hug’], showing how far she’ll go for the people she loves. Again, I do think this month has some pretty personal influences, so I doubt every move she makes will be made public, but I do think the month of April speaks to Nicola… not being betrayed, but realizing what it means to align yourself with people who support each other’s success, and that it’s her own responsibility to focus her love and attention toward people who don’t make her [compete]. She’s never seemed like the person, but this month is a realization that you don’t have to step over other people to reach success, and that [you also don’t have to follow in the footsteps of people trying to pull you up and over others]. I think, if anything is made public, it would be her appreciation for [‘humble and caring friends’].

May 6- Mars at 9° Leo, square her natal Pluto, 6H/8H- I know people were asking me ‘when Nicola would stop playing/get serious’, and I think the beginning of May is the month for a more serious attitude. Unfortunately I do see this being a time of people trying to step on her toes, disrupt her, question her every decision, starting any kind of argument they can about anything she does. In a way, I don’t really see this being much different to the usual cycle for Bridgerton stan, turning on the actors or their side characters in wait of the new season, but I think this will center the [‘responsibility she has with the fame she has’], framing her as if she’s acted recklessly, or without consideration for how people feel. In truth, I think we can simply expect people being irrational, unrealistic, and that this transit is simply a challenge everyone has pushed through repeatedly, with her and every other Bridgerton actor. When it comes to how this square could affect her personally, I don’t see her being the kind of person to struggle with the basic [Mars-Pluto] themes of ‘fighting for control’, but I do think this will ignite challenges with her feeling a lack of control over her growing success, like it’s difficult to maintain the person she is while still fulfilling the ‘responsibilities’ she has. If anything, though, I do think this will come back around to her remembering that she’s done a lot with her career, and that performing for the public isn’t as important as helping them, having a lasting impact on peoples lives and doing all she can to make them better. Sagittarius degree Leo Mars, it’s worth losing a few friends if it means you can help feed a few dozen new ones. Sometimes change requires sacrifice, and hers seems to be [people struggling to respect her individuality, and expecting even more from someone who only gives help out of genuine concern for people, not for praise or attention].

Week of May 14- Jupiter at 24° Gemini, opposite her natal Uranus, 4H/10H, Transiting Sun enters her 3H before moving into Gemini- While the beginning of May comes off difficult for Nicola, I think this Jupiter-Uranus opposition speaks to how quickly these themes will turn around, showing how she refuses to give up on wanting to reach out to new people. I think… something I’ve noticed in her transits the past few readings is that she doesn’t define her confidence by acts of strength. It isn’t about arguing, yelling, fighting, ‘proving’ anything, her confidence rests in the ability to go without responding, knowing that people who really understand her know her actual character. This is something that’s developing with age too, that [‘she’s done enough to explain who she is’], that [‘it shouldn’t be a mystery anymore’]. It’s about taking herself seriously, taking her own interests seriously, and acting on the things she wants to have in life. It's like people throwing pebbles in her path trying to make her lose direction, they may have been difficult to walk across at first, but after finding her balance, they’re an annoyance that aren’t going to distract her from a path she is familiar with. She can’t be led astray if she knows where she wants to end up—at that point, even sincere loss in direction can be corrected, because her goals are clear to her.

Week of May 25- Transiting Venus at 18° Aries, square her natal Capricorn Sun, 1H/11H, Transiting Saturn at 0° Aries, conjunction her natal Mars/1H- [‘Separated by work’], [‘obligation over promise’], I think the end of May is a time of her actually, directly choosing her career over somebody, or over another opportunity. I don’t think this is anywhere near the first sacrifice she’s had to make in her career, but I do think… based off Saturn’s influence, that this will be one of her first times ending a relationship with someone for the better of them both. It's not about either person being bad, being ‘toxic’, or that they fail to support each other, but that each of their definitions of success cannot be given proper attention while they still try to force their connection. I don’t think this is purely romantic, about an actual relationship, but I do think [‘losing love, letting it go free’] is a big theme for the end of this month. Like I said before, I don’t see her actually losing much over these few months, but I do see her shifting more and more into someone who is independent, confident, and who is holding themselves to a promise of putting themselves first. While it may be challenging, it is worth the hardship, and I think she’s aware enough of that to remain committed to her own cause.

June 7- 16° Gemini Sun opposite her natal Uranus, 3H/9H, Transiting 24° Leo Mars trine her natal Uranus, 6H/10H- Looking toward the start of July, I think these aspects to her natal Uranus speak to a new sense of creativity, a new pursuit, or within context, a new an unexpected role for her. In a way, I could see this being a time for her [Doctor Who] role to come back into the spotlight, having people talk about… [‘how comfortable she seems in a role that isn’t expected of her’], people very positively receiving her effort to expand out—this is why I think this transit could speak to a new role too, because I think this focus is her receiving love for how diverse her skills are. In some ways, I could see people questioning the decisions she makes this week, arguing that [‘she’s lost focus of the reason people support her’], but as I’ve explained through multiple readings, I don’t think these disagreements are something that’s going to shake her confidence. In transit, and in life, the focus should be encouraging each other to try new things, to chase after new experiences, and to aspire to follow in the footsteps of people who did it before.

Week of June 17- Mercury transiting 16° Cancer, opposite her natal Mercury, followed by another opposition, at 18°, to her natal Sun, 5H/11H- With this pair of oppositions, I think the middle of June could be a time for her to pull away, reserve herself, and maybe clarify feeling [‘overwhelmed by the attention’]—appreciative of her success, but needing a break from having to absorb punches from all directions. These oppositions, though, describe someone… who isn’t going to find that peace at home, behind a locked door, because she can’t escape her life in the one place it all leads back to. In my opinion, just based off transits, I could see this being a time for her to take a vacation, or to make a statement that she needs [a week and a half~] away. When thinking about how else these oppositions could affect her, I could see this leading to disagreements within her personal life, but obviously this is something we’d very likely never see. While the previous two months were difficult for their own reasons, June seems to be a month that Nicola is pushed to defend herself creatively, not just arguing with people, but coming to an understanding that some people just don’t believe in the same dreams as her. This 3~ month period, to me, shows someone trying to find independence within their personal life, mainly through coming to understand that there are some people you cannot convince. Some people [don’t want to believe] that she can succeed, and making her career out trying to prove those people wrong will only overshadow the fans she has now. I think this is the point I’ve been trying to work up to too, it’s not that she’s developing more confidence, but coming to face a Capricorns biggest lesson, that selfishness is not inherently evil. That having your own goals is not inconsiderate of people who have different goals. We all bear the responsibility of creating our own future, and to hold back in fear of people possibly disagreeing only denies us great opportunities. In all I think July is the time for Nicola to realize that, while a reserved silence protects her from most drama, [protecting herself] is going to mean being willing to defend those dreams, to argue that she is not unrealistic just because [‘people are afraid to think as big as she does’].

June 24- Transiting Venus at 18° Taurus, sextile her Venus, trine her Sun- With this Venus-Venus sextile, I think the end of June would be the time for someone close to her, like Luke or other cast members, to show appreciation to Nicola for the way she [‘brightens up a room’]. [‘making it easier to work, making it enjoyable to come into work’]. I think the last week of June, if any, is going to be what pulls everyone out of the rut she seems to be pushing through. I think it is just valuable to understand… her challenges are external to her, and they’re rarely factual. Another factor I think is important is that… this doesn’t seem to be a test, but that these challenges have become [normal] for someone who is finally comfortable. While it may be bittersweet, its through being able to completely ignore antagonism that validates her confidence, her belief that she can push through anything, or anyone. It isn’t able being flawless, perfect, trying to become immune to criticism, but accepting that she is successful because there are people who love her the way she is. For as loud as people may scream at her, say they want her to fail, her [success] is factual. The opportunities she’s had are factual. So… at a point, it lays on Nicola’s shoulders to believe that her ability to succeed is factual. Separately, I wouldn’t see this being a time for her to be avoidant, or refusing to acknowledge (social media), but I do think this month is reinforcing the confidence that is communicated through her refusal to move for anyone.

Week of July 7- Transiting Sun at 16° Cancer, opposite her Mercury, and inconjunction to her Saturn, Jupiter at 6° Cancer, opposite her Neptune, 5H/11H- Looking toward the start of July, we see another Sun-Mercury opposition take place in a different form, alongside the mentioned inconjunction/opposition pattern. As we get into the new month, I think we’ll finally see Nicola shaking off that shame, right back to a place where she feels she can express herself freely, or share parts of herself without fearing people twisting it against her. Of course… honestly, while we do these readings to see if and when Polin will come together, I think this is yet another reading that shows her coming close to the end of the journey of learning to protect her independence and confidence, but we’re still not at the end even in July. I think a theme that continues to be pointed out is how self-aware she is, how she understands that she needs to move through each lesson slowly, and that trying to force anything will only turn good people against her. People can say she isn’t enough, that she needs to try harder, but I see her staying in the lane she is now, because she knows exactly what works for her. For as much as she seems to appreciate the input of others, it’ll never convince her to change the person she is, and this is a boundary we’ll have to become familiar with as her career continues to grow. She isn’t expecting people to avoid eye contact, to not ask questions, but think about the questions we’re asking and how that could come across to someone, even as a person who constantly has cameras on them.

Luke's Transits, March-July

March 29- Transiting Sun and Moon conjunction at 9° Aries, square his natal retrograde Cancer Mars- I think this upcoming week could describe a loss for him, or him deciding to give something up. In my mind this translates to someone saying “I could regret this, but-“, taking a risk in hopes that it’ll help the pursuit of his future. This comes off as a short-sighted decision, but not one that’s going to harm him? I could see people perceiving him as [acting out] in some way, like… bringing attention to himself by pulling the carpet from under the table. A theme I’ve noticed for him over this next month is how everything comes off as a surprise, different from the scheduled plan he’s used to, and how his chart seems to want to lean into that energy. I do think, over the past few readings, I’ve described a building confidence that I think we’ve seen play out, and I think these upcoming transits describe someone who is comfortable enough to take risks, who is able to face criticism without feeling destroyed by it, and someone who know they’ll wake up to work tomorrow even if people don’t agree with him. Considering this aspect is really rooted in an eclipse taking place at the end of the month, I could also see him speaking out politically in some way, or making some kind of statement that [makes his position clear] on relevant issues. A Sun-Moon conjunction in Aries can show someone acting righteously, fighting for what they believe to be justice, but it could also be a time for someone to clarify that they don’t support the fighting at all. April 5- Transiting Mercury, Venus and Saturn conjunction in the 9H, trine to his Pluto. The same conjunction, trine to a transiting Mars, conjunction his Moon in the 12H-

In my last reading for him, I noticed a pattern of aspects to his Pluto describing a relationship with contracts, him dealing with themes of commitment and control to advance his career. This time, as we see Mercury and Venus both retrograde through Aries, I think we’ll be seeing him release or announce a project that shows he’s still actively working with people. I did ask around to see if he’d announced anything to be released in April, and there’s no knowledge of anything, but I do think all the trines seen in his chart this day lean to it being a surprise, something sudden, specifically something I think he’s very proud of and will [brag about] more than we’d usually expect? With all this interaction in his chart, leading back to his 9H, I could also see this being a time for him [travelling far to make an unexpected appearance], or [being caught travelling far], this could be a time for more ‘paparazzi’ pictures and maybe having private business exposed in some way. In all, I think all these trines speak to him being brought to the public, being the center of discussion, having something new announced to everybody. These trines do also last for a few weeks, coming back around as Mercury and Venus go direct, so this does make me lean toward him announcing a new project, something that he’d be posting content for, a project that he’s able to be [freely proud] of.  

The week of April 25th- Transiting Jupiter transits 20° Gemini, trine his natal Aquarius Jupiter, 7H/11H-

A Jupiter-Jupiter trine contributes to the belief that April will be about upward and forward growth, but I also think the 20° influence here speaks to… how surprising it will be to him, too? I think that’s a theme that seems to stick out for this month, that while he is seeing progress in the goals he’s set his mind to, I don’t think all the success he sees will be intentional, or planned. I wouldn’t reduce this to just ‘going viral’, but I do think that could be a contributing factor. Jupiter is about expansion, knowledge, learning, and I think the greater focus is more people becoming [aware] of him, becoming someone more recognizable, I could even see this taking the form of an interview.  

April 29- Transiting Mercury at 14° Aries, opposite his natal, retrograde Libra Jupiter, 9H/3H-

This Mercury-Jupiter opposition is the first major aspect that reaches into his personal life and feelings, highlighting what I think will be a time for him to reflect on the relationships he has with people. I could see this taking the form of him posting old pictures, or writing a [caption] crediting people for how hard they’ve worked, and how ‘that example has pushed him to try even harder in his own career’. In all, I think April is a very [inspiring] month for him. I do think… more attention can open him up to more criticism, but based off transits, I think we’ve been seeing him slowly building a sense of confidence that isn’t shaken by nasty comments the same way. That isn’t to say they don’t have an effect, and won’t maintain his desire to keep some distance from the public, but I think he’s losing out on that feeling of a need to hide from people. Like I said before, I think he’s accepting that his career isn’t one gust of wind from being blown away, that he is able to make more of the opportunities he’s had, and I think we’ll start seeing a level of [comfort/ease in being social] that hasn’t been common for him.

Week of May 19- Sun enters his 11H, Transiting Uranus applying a sextile to his Natal 28° Cancer Moon, Transiting Mercury at 20° Taurus, square his Saturn, separating from a trine to his Neptune-Uranus sextile-

This is another week where he has a lot of heavy transits going on, but I do think they continue to describe someone gaining [comfort/confidence in being within the public eye]. I could see this week being as literal as possible, the influences speaking to people taking and posting new pictures with him, but… to reach a little further down the line, I think the press surrounding season four will allow him to feel a bit more comfortable around fans, like the focus of [the show] being off of him alleviates a bit of the stress related to peoples’ range of different, explosive responses. Since we are talking about the middle of May, I think we could be seeing more, new promo for the new season too, which I think [will actually please multiple sides of the fandom, showing that everyone is getting their time?] I do try to be considerate when talking about fast, loud, impactful influences, because I don’t want to tell people to expect the most extreme interpretations of every influence, but I do think May speaks to a continued positivity, a desire to interact with people. 20° is a degree related to ‘surprise’, which is why I keep bringing it up, and I think… while there is a lot of surprise surrounding him, I do think his presence itself could act as a surprise too—and in an era where he’s been very hands-off, I think it’s fair to expect that any major publicity would be a surprise.  

June 4- His natal 28° Cancer Moon is the center of a sextile to Uranus in Taurus, an exact square to Venus in Aries, and another sextile to the transiting Moon in Virgo-

I do think the beginning of June speaks to changes happening for him, but in this way, these influences give off the energy of someone… ‘choosing their own needs over another persons’, [cutting someone off either publicly or socially to protect his own needs]. It is definitely easy to point at this as a time for ‘breakups’, but the sextile to the Moon in Virgo tells me the reason for pulling away has more to do with his professional life. He could very well be cutting off someone within his personal life to protect the professional, but I think it’s better to keep an open mind about what he’s trying to protect specifically. To be direct about it, I think it’s about more than just ‘protecting his name’, or saving his reputation in some way—not that I see him facing any threats, but this is a time for cutting off people who oppose his boundaries.

Week of June 20- His natal, 2° Aries Venus, conjunction a 1° Saturn, exactly square to a Cancer Jupiter, and sextile to a transiting, 3° retrograde Pluto-

When looking toward the end of June, I do see this being an isolating, but confident, influence. While the previous months centered themes of openness, sharing himself with people, I think June speaks to his need to protect himself, putting him in situations where he’s pushed to say [‘I don’t care, I have to watch out for myself’], or even going as far as [‘you wouldn’t share the same genuine concern for me, so you aren’t worth the effort’], going past not arguing with people and completely shutting conversations down. Another way I think this can be interpreted is him calling out [‘fake love’], differentiating the appreciation he has for people who genuinely support him, and separating himself from people who use his name to attack other people. I do think this is a more reasonable theme considering the increase in press for season four, showing how he genuinely wants to support his cast mates. Unfortunately I do see this being a time for hate and criticism to increase again, speaking to that greater pattern of people getting bored without new content to talk about, but I think a big theme for Luke this year is that he’s learned what to not take seriously.

The week of July 4- Transiting Venus enters a conjunction with Uranus, in his 11H, Transiting Mars at 9° Virgo, sextile his natal Mars-

Looking at the start of July, I think we could see him spending more time with his friends, maybe being more willing to post pictures with friends he ‘knows he can trust’, drawing a line on the work he’s had to do to clean up his social life. This brings back one of those themes that I’ve seen brought up throughout nearly all of the readings I’ve done for him, and while I still think this is a personal theme we might not see much of on our side, I do think it’s coming to a peak this year. I still wouldn’t expect him to outwardly disown someone, but returning to that theme of [being confident in setting boundaries], I think we’ll see him be more direct about how protective he is, how serious trust is to him, and how he’s given up trying to be patient with people who don’t respect that effort from him. When it comes to the Mars-Mars sextile, being between Virgo and Cancer speaks to his character, because he’s not someone who’s looking for a fight or an argument. He’s someone who sees his efforts being wasted and decides to put that attention into more productive pursuits. He’s not trying to burn anything down, but just keep a steady path toward the success he knows he wants. He doesn’t need help finding a vision for his career, he needs help from people who believe in him.  

July 11- The Sun at 19° Cancer, opposite his Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn, 12H/6H-

Taking place in the middle of July, I think this opposition has two strong possibilities, the first being him pursuing education in the sense of… [‘finally learning’ something he’s wanted to know about for years], or this transit could speak to him receiving credit for talents he hasn’t has greatly acknowledged yet. I’d describe the theme of this opposition as [working hard to prove he’s learned something new]. In a way, I could also see this taking the form of him talking about auditioning for new roles? I just think the most important factor of this transit is how unexpected it would be for him, like if he did actually pursue a role in a horror movie. From my perspective, the goal in his mind would be to expand his work history, focusing on trying to show how dynamic he can be.

July 17-19- Venus at 14° Gemini, trine his natal Jupiter, 11H/3H, Venus at 16° Gemini, trine his natal Sun, 11H/7H-

Being some of the last major transits to take place in July, I think these trines from Venus speak to the continued focus he still has on his career. I know the focus of these readings is truly Nicluke, trying to see if and when they’ll get together, but these representations of Venus show where his focus is. The same planet the rules over relationships also rules over teamwork, diplomacy, working together with other people, and in every way, Venus is working to benefit his success in his career. I don’t just avoid mentioning A* for any reason, but when it comes to the influences that speak to the relationships he’s having, I see someone who has a very serious and professional mindset, someone who is trying to be smart and calculated about the moves they make. While we do get articles every other month lamenting over single paparazzi pictures between them, with the astrology alone, I don’t see someone who is focused on developing love, with anybody? And to bring it back to N/L, this is exactly why I tell people it’s a good thing nothing is being rushed, because I just don’t see his focus being there. I see someone who is finding themselves, figuring out how to stand up on their own, and someone who wouldn’t benefit from trying to fit himself into someone else’s life. Through many months, [independence] and having the freedom to associate or disassociate from whoever he wants seems to be an important theme, so for the first half of the year, I don’t see him being with anyone in the way we want him to be with Nicola. But I think the confidence he hopefully does find through this time period is something that will benefit any relationships he has in the future—and also seems to have a direct connection with his career now.

Taurus as the Lawyer, Scorpio as the Prosecutor-

When we see a lawyer, the nicest people see a defender of truth, but the most conniving people recognize them as a bender of truth. In being perceived as the 'standard', someone who follows the rules to the dot, it becomes very easy for them to turn around and lie, because they need no illusion to get away with a lie, they simply have to believe in themselves and their own truth.

As a prosecutor, Scorpio has the job of leveling their accusations, avoiding going too extreme so that the charges actually have a chance of sticking. Extremes are normal to Scorpios, so it can be hard to separate themselves from the idea, but focusing on the proof is their biggest weapon. Using peoples words against them is their knife. Walking people into their own trap is how Scorpios walk way with clean hands.

[degreedummy]

Aries as the Warrior, Scorpio as the Assassin-

As a warrior, it's easy to expect Aries to be confrontational, aggressive, even righteous, but you also have to be prepared for them to snap a rule in half and break down a wall. To test them literally means setting fire to their patience, and they will get revenge if they run out.

On the other side, you could expect an assassin to be secretive, avoidant, sneaky, but they'll also look you eyes as they stab you in the stomach, simply because they don't view you as a threat.

When it comes to Mars' influence, trying to play their game better than them will only antagonize them, and while you're focused on expecting exactly one line of behavior from them, they use your own distraction against you.

YAY! THE MESSIAH, "COLE FROM TWITTER" HAS RETURNED!!!

I'm bad with questions, but I wanna ask if I'm gonna shout in the ask box.

Have you looked into 12th Parts and 9th Parts? They both make me curious, especially 9th Parts because they have a connection to triplicity. I need to do research on the minor dignities, but I would like to see if I can find patterns in them, like Bounds, which seem more random but seem to have a vague relationship to sect?

LMAOO THANK YOU

and when it comes to subdivisional astrology, i think it's always easiest to just start with learning about decans and their planetary rulers, in traditional or modern form.

i think the best think to understand about [subinfluences] is understanding you aren't trying to figure out which planet overpowers the other, which themes 'take control of the influence', but understanding how those planets express through the lens of another planet or sign.

for example, the third decan of aries is jupiter ruled. that doesn't negate aries' mars rulership, but that jupiter influence shows someone with great conviction, motivation, and is often associated with people who pursue leadership roles and greater/'dreamier' ideas of success.

even degree theory is form of subdivisional astrology, i think getting into parts/dwads is just about building your understanding of the patterns between them, even learning about the relationships planets naturally have so you can start building those associations easier.

i think the goal of any form of subdivisional astrology is finding deeper meaning, which is just going to take more time, there's more connections to learn past the already infinite possibilities we find with basic charts

24° across each placement~

24° Sun- can be someone known to be secretive, or a liar. accused of stealing, or enjoys doing it. a big theme of a 24° Sun is struggling very hard to convince people of their honesty, no matter how much proof is on their side. this is someone who prefers to work alone, but does well with teams, their focus is maintaining the freedom to adapt and make changes where they see fit. a loss of control, or theft of control, is often what drives them to isolation.

24° Moon- a Moon of this degree is often someone who often avoids sharing their opinions, feeling like they unintentionally ignite massive arguments by 'saying things they feel other people aren't acknowledging', pulling monsters out of the shadows and then being confused by the chaos. this is an innocent spirit, one who often values complete honesty. in my mind, they live at the extremes of talking too much and not talking enough, struggling to balance their thoughts with other peoples feelings.

24° Ascendant- often, a 24° Ascendant is someone who sees a challenge in privacy, who isn't considering trust at all when keeping basic information for people. in a backward way, they enjoy people making the effort to dig, to have enough interest to ask questions and push conversations, and the only way to find those people is by setting out a maze. at the same time, many people don't want to play games, and setting down this antagonistic way of communicating can be hard for someone who isn't used to telling people things directly.

24° Mercury- while i do think this degree placement of a Mercury can reflect secretiveness, i also think it can describe selectiveness. if you are on the outside of this Mercury, there is no way for you to get in, there is no way for you to earn its trust, you are simply out of consideration. they aren't mean about it most of the time, but believe in it as fact, that they cannot trust you and will not let you close to them. on the other side, to be let in means to have their trust forever, even through abuse of it. this is someone who forgives the people they love, repeatedly, and it can be very hard for them to accept that they need to end a relationship that is only hurting them. most importantly, i think they have to learn that they weren't the ones to ruin the trust. ending the relationship is how you respond to trust being broken.

24° Mars- a Mars at 24° will often describe someone who will communicate their problems with you through another person, being so conflict avoidant that they'll nominate other people to have the conversation. this isn't to say they don't talk to people at all, but if there is any threat of conflict, they will do their best to line the room with pillows. this Mars does their best to go their longest without acknowledging a problem, no matter how obvious it is to everyone else.

24° Venus- this is someone looking to run away with new love, who wants to start a new life with someone they anticipate a desire to change for. while this willingness to sacrifice themselves is admirable, it can also be thankless, and that's when it becomes dangerous. to lose themselves in people is a risk, and to give up on everything they knew before that person is a bigger risk, so giving into a dream is something they have to question deeply.

Update #4857579 on astro content

okay so i know i've gone back and forth between active and inactive for years, but after i stopped doing content on twitter and taking readings, kinda being exclusive to tumblr is so cvnti to me...

so if y'all have astro questions i am actively taking them, i wanna get better about responding to questions and using this page to answer questions

past that, thank y'all for all the support you've shown. it seems like i've somehow formed an audience that isn't even aware of my twitter years, people who've kept up and shown interest in all ive posted on here, and im very thankful for the love. y'all know very little compared to twitter so, the last two years have just been a lot of change, but i also want to make tumblr one of those changes. love u sisters

13°~

13° is a degree that can speak to insecure leaders, people who struggle to recognize the power they have. in not connecting with that strength, it goes unused, helping no one, one of their biggest fears.

[degreedummy]

CANCER MARS, LEO MARS, AND UPCOMING MARS RX-

We shouldn't throw stones in glass houses, but sometimes the entire room needs to be brought down before you can start rebuilding anything.

I think, as Mars is direct in Leo, unresolved conversations are going to be buried, both sides believing they don't need to hear anything else to believe they're right. Change will be reserved for those who put action to their beliefs, which obviously leads to conflict. The Sun will be in Sagittarius during this time, so it comes off to me like... [the fight won't stop until someone else is hurt], a third party being pulled in before both sides are brought to realize how low they've allowed themselves to dig into each other. Again, action, the hand, will have complete control during this transit, rending apologies completely useless. We had the choice of the ear, the heart, but continuing to punch forward is what people are going to respond to.

As Mars goes retrograde, the month it'll spend backing out of Leo will be the time for [retribution]. Just like how fire signs tend to miss the bigger picture, we'll be left to realize that we only partially won a battle that is part of a much bigger war. For as aggressive as this transit comes off, I don't think anyone will be stabbed by a sword they never pulled out. While Mars, direct, could lead to people being dragged in, I think the beginning of this retrograde will be about taking peoples' debt in blood. Hurt people, who've tried to live above the wrong done to them, will give into wanting people to understand their pain. Pure people understand there is no healing in revenge, but there is freedom in destroying their idea of our weakness.

As Mars reenters Cancer, I think this transit is most easily imagined as a bear in her cave, attempting to care for her hurt cub, even ignoring her other cubs in doing it. There is no more fighting, but there is no talking to a hurt heart who's lost so much. I think this is why it's important to... [right now], attempt to find common ground with people, because it will hurt even more to attempt to circle back around and find forgiveness in losing them. The Cancer retrograde transit will be a time to grieve what [is] over, what [is] part of a past that is not coming back, but we have a choice in who comes into the future with us. Just don't be above having a conversation about how our feelings could have hurt someone else's.

Looking at Luke's Current Transits-

25° Virgo Sun sextile Pluto around Sept. 18 This transit is one that brings focus toward his sense of confidence, and specifically his ability to lead. I’d expect this to be a personal transit for him, challenging his ability to make hard decisions, but this could also mean voicing decisions about his future. I think this can be a time for him showing appreciation for the love he receives, maybe saying it’s built his confidence. In the same way Nicola has, this could be his time for talking about the ways he takes care of himself, the things he likes or what he does to keep his head on straight, maybe more focusing toward mental health. 14° Cancer Mars square Jupiter Sept. 29 Coming in after his exact Mars return, this has big ‘getting away’ energy, or… ‘going back home to escape reality’, running back to comforts in some way. This energy can cause conflict, but this could also speak to him feeling inspired, or finding some kind of inspiration that he’s been missing out on. I think memories of home will play a big part here. More than finding inspiration, I think this square is going to bring his future into question, asking him what kind of life he wants to be able to come home to. More than a personal transit, I think this will be a time of him rebuilding the circle around him. Jupiter retrograde begins in his 11H lasts until early February Jupiter going retrograde in his 11H shows to me that, following filming and whatever ties he has to Bridgerton after, he may start to lock down on who uses his name, or who he allows to profit from him. The 11H is a social house, but as a public figure, his relationship with his [community] may be intentionally challenged. When I see this transit, I see someone choking out a fire, seeing what’s left behind when he doesn’t give any more. The 11H also represents dreams, and I think there’s a noticeable, continuous theme, leading him to question what he wants to do next. I think this speaks to him… having opportunities ahead of him, but being frozen in how to act. I think the 11H is a house that’s easy to lose yourself in, especially as the planet of exploration goes retrograde in it, but I think this will be the time for him to question what he, as an individual, wants for his future, and what he’s willing to do for it.

5H Venus transit, Scorpio and Sagittarius through October The 5H being our sense of creativity, a love for art seems to be reestablished during this time, expressed in a different way. I think this transit could be as simple as him posting pictures of little pieces he’s painted, just showing he’s expanded on his hobbies, but I think this is a motivating period for him. I could see him getting more personal, but that depends on if his [art] relies on being seen. Honestly, I don’t think the transits show him doing a lot of work immediately following filming, but based off transits, I think this a necessary time for him to decide what matters to him. Him taking time to find direction only benefits him in the long-run here.

Saturn direct in his 9H November 15 Another transit he shares with the rest of us, I think this transit and many before speak to him finding a voice he doesn’t feel he’s allowed to have. The 9H tends to represent someone’s spiritual beliefs, someone’s religion, but it can also represent political and even personal beliefs, the morals a person has and what they personally believe to be right in the world. Based on the kind of person he is, I wouldn’t expect him to break out in an argument with anyone, but I do think this could be a time of ‘picking sides’, understanding that he has to stand for [something] in the world if anything matters to him at all. With Saturn going direct, think of it as… “I’m willing to lose an opportunity if it means moving forward with a clear mind”, him feeling a need to speak out on something that we may not yet know is important to him.

Sagittarius Mercury rx, goes direct in his 5H mid December While I do think the retrograde will have significance, I think Mercury going direct in his 5H, after all we’ve discussed, shows an opportunity being acted on. At the time of writing, I don’t know his status with contracts, who he’s signed to, but I think the commitments he makes during this time will last him a few years. I think ‘feeling understood’ will be a big theme during this time, forming friendships with people who make him feel closer to the kind of person he wants to be. I think these commitments will be made out of emotion, but it’s because he’s choosing to believe how [others] feel about him.
