“Our Wish for the End, Me” by Clayshaper
wow the last time i posted was the time my life started falling apart
“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
― William J.H. Boetcker
chiron in leo or the fifth house
oh, roaring creative one, listen no longer to those who did not applaud.
or hated seeing your light shine. or never saw you at all. or resented your charm and innate power to attract attention.
listen to critics no more. being a rare individual is a wonderful gift.
but it requires integrity in all your actions. and a reverence for the creative nature of the universe.
when you may have suffered neglect of your talents. and dismissal of your abilities.
use these talents no more to recreate past dramas.
but you must create. literally. invent. perform. be larger. make something.
even if you only draw one picture, or write one word, or tap one step-touch, or play one note, or sew one costume sleeve, or think one new thought every week, then commit to that. quantity doesn’t count. commitment does.
commit to five minutes a day of pure play time. pure. for no other purpose than the act of creation itself.
this is not building a schedule to complete that bestseller. this is not about schemes to big success.
this is about valuing life for life’s sake. creation for the sheer joy of creating. participating in the bounty of bringing your unceasing ability to think of new things and make them tangible.
because your essential creative self was not encouraged. your fire was doused.
but know it can never, not ever, be put out completely. it may be physical creation or mental inspiration, but somehow you have, within you, the ability to make something out of nothing. you can connect ideas and make something appear.
on the other hand, do not mistake “someday i’ll be a star” yearning for proper use of your abilities. if someone corrupted your talents by making you think taking big risks and going for the “someday big one” is how to use your charms and inventive skills, take those back.
leo and the fifth house also rule romance. sometimes we think “love” is the only answer when our early wiring confused love with drama.
love is nurturing. binding you into someone else’s whirlwind for their emotional satisfaction is not love. and neither is doing that to someone else.
integrity is required in all of your actions. are you being true to yourself? true to others? no theatrics with others. no accepting drama instead of truth from others. integrity and honest heart in all actions.
if you are somehow holding back, and your connection to your creative expression feels lost, and you don’t even know how to begin, just start small.
try fun things. take a class. join a group. if you don’t like it. try something else.
if you get scared, that may be a signal you’ve struck a rich creative vein.
you do not ever have to show your creative endeavors to anyone. you do not have to ever be judged by an audience or critic.
and you never, ever, ever, have to let your fine human hunger for recognition and applause lead you into performances that harm your integrity. ever again.
the fifth house is also about children. if you have too many or not enough children (of any age) recognize that only real children need parenting. and that you, sweet child, maybe never had a childhood of your own.
the world is filled with children who need love. if you need more children, go connect with some. even if its creatively supporting charity work with children overseas. (or say, donors choose, for artsy causes.)
if the “child” who needs love the most right now is you – as in the firey, creative one you were – then begin a deep and important healing relationship with that sweet one. literally. fun outings, finger painting, whatever that kid needs. commit.
commitment to creativity is the key to your wholeness. the results are not important. the commitment is.
but other than your inner self, be the adult only to real children. adults who want you to be responsible while they play are not going to help your life. you’re the artist, too. that must be recognized. start with applauding yourself.
Neptune in the 1st House (P.3)
The psychic influence of this placement is incredible. Not only are they incredibly psychically sensitive, they have the ability to draw psychic influence to themselves. On the bright side, they may identify with their psychic abilities and learn more about themselves in that way. In fact, a Neptune in the 1st House native can achieve satisfaction through identifying with raw emotion and following their intuition. The sooner the native understands that there is no solid ground to stand on, the more quickly they learn how to cope.

Neptune in the 1st House (P.2)
A Neptune in the 1st House native will have to sacrifice their identity or literal appearance for the sake of some greater good. It’s very rare that a person not close to the native will see a real side to them. Similarly, they seem to have issues identifying themselves, which leads to mimicking other people. One can say that these natives were never fully assured when it came to who they were and what they were meant to be.
**Ask Me About a Birth Chart Reading**
Neptune in the 1st House (P.1)
These natives are one of two things, depending on surrounding placements. Based off of Neptune’s two key words, the appearance of a person may either be dissolved or boundless. In plain English, the Neptune native is either seen by nobody, or their boundaries are ignored by everybody. Everyone feels like they have a say in the Neptune native’s identity, making the native a victim of gossip. The cruelest part is that the native is hardly aware of other people’s opinions because they typically come with no solid proof. This makes the placement a thing of boundless infamy, especially in the cases of more “seen” natives.
Examples of this side of Neptune in the 1st House include Marilyn Monroe, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Eminem.

this hurts lol, saturn transit is conjunct neptune though. giving me this clarity lol
Jupiter in the 9th house - The Home of the Lucky Hand
“The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood.” ― Rebecca Solnit
The cosmic fortune card is drawn with Jupiter in the ninth. Jupiter is at home in the ninth house and the individual’s life will expand beyond the horizon and into the dwellings of heaven. Philosophical matters are comprehended with broad spectrum frames, and themes of excess can characterise the lifestyle. Flying through invisible gateways and exploring with the higher mind is a domain Jupiter in the ninth feels most ecstatic. And whatever it is, he will want more, be it knowledge, escape, amusement, gambling, god, or adventure. The inner compass will be guided by an exuberant and idealistic wanderlust that can be directed toward finding a sense of meaning. The quest to understand his place in the world leads him far and wide through land and sea, bookshelf and pilgrimage.
The individual with Jupiter in the ninth has a very natural familiarity with spiritual laws. Topics that merge imagination with intellectual, practical application like mythology, astrology, psychology, and theology are dwellings where the individual can spend much of his time. It’s pure magic when he can see symbolism erupt in everyday life. Instances where he can impart, or soak up wisdom bring incredible joy and satisfaction. It may be hard for the individual to settle and change may be his only constant. Jupiter can indicate indulgent and ravenous behaviors, and in the ninth house he the poker machines are dazzling with bells of his name. Maybe he gambles too much, or drinks or spends. Whatever it is that pangs the strings of joy in his heart will be hard to moderate. There could be a deep urgency to move overseas and explore new cultures, societies, language, foods, and ways of living. People are fascinating to Jupiter in the ninth, and the born explorer is all about understanding the different waves of cultural music that play the orchestra of the globe. Education is important, and the person may prolong his studies for as long as possible. University education, and remaining beyond is characteristic of Jupiter in the ninth.
Integrating a wide range of perspectives and beliefs is a focus of life here. The individual seeks a very intimate, and personal relationship with God, one that transcends the ruling of religion or ideology. In his search for a spiritual teacher, a mentor, or a guru, in the divine form or academic form will redirect him on the pathway within. Eventually he learns he is the master of his own reverent temple. Life will present many lucky breaks and opportunities for the individual, it’s like he has been blessed with a golden handshake. His mental and physical experiences are a bonanza of wisdom, fortune, fun, and adventure. In the distance, the individual perceives flashing lights that invite him to sail into the open galaxy so he can taste every spice, read every scripture, and smell every pollen. The free bohemian spirit is rich and relishes when he is drenched in new experiences with interesting people. Jupiter in the ninth is the true cosmic jackpot, and lady luck waits in the airport of the mind promising glorious riches when there is faith in the universe.

I have been saving this since last year. Happy Earth Day everyone.
literally has been in my queue for an entire year. you just can’t miss reblogging.
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.”
— Thomas Merton
You can’t make a flower grow. But when you give it what it needs, the growing happens on its own.
If you set yourself a goal and work toward it, you are using clock time. You are aware of where you want to go, but you honor and give your fullest attention to the step that you are taking at this moment. If you then become excessively focused on the goal, perhaps because you are seeking happiness, fulfillment, or a more complete sense of self in it, the Now is no longer honored. It becomes reduced to a mere stepping stone to the future, with no intrinsic value. Clock time then turns into psychological time. Your life’s journey is no longer an adventure, just an obsessive need to arrive, to attain, to “make it.” You no longer see or smell the flowers by the wayside either, nor are you aware of the beauty and the miracle of life that unfolds all around you when you are present in the Now.

Discontent Dharma
Birth and childhood create the tension between our naturalness and our ego.
From the moment we enter school and onward, the society and the people are trying to make sense of us. They want to know who and what we are–in terms of our identity.
What is our gender and how do we express it? What are our hobbies and passions and interests? What is our ambition? What is our college, our major, our career, our next steps? Who is our significant other and when will we have children? How are the kids doing? How are you?
The discomfort created by these expectations urges us toward a sense of security. We want to define ourselves so that we can be known–by ourselves and by others.
If we are not happy with those definitions, we suffer. We feel limited. If we are content with those definitions, we are momentarily okay. Until we start desiring more and better. Or until things change.
The moment we feel comfortable with our ego, with our identities and self-definitions, we become slaves. It is our tendency to villainize discomfort instead of the ego that causes us to seek comfort or distraction.
Rather, that discomfort itself is a hidden blessing, a fuel source for awakening. The ego shouldn’t be comfortable. It should be seen and known to be what it really is: a hassle, a scam.
Only then will a way out be sought in sincerity. There is no good ego, just as there is no good time to be ignorant.
Do not be content with it.
Namaste
