“my teenage child is so selfish” is an interesting thing I only see online moms say about their daughters. I’ve never seen one say it about their son. I think it’s because daughters enter the teenage years and begin developing critical thinking skills and independence and it enrages these parents who were using their kids as their own little therapists and unpaid domestic laborers.

Aries sun, Pisces ascendant

These two signs are totally antagonistic. Your Pisces Ascendant gives you an outward appearance which is indifferent and placid, or sometimes visionary. At first glance, you seem flexible and adaptable. You are easily accepted by other people because you are most often appreciated for your empathy and your tolerance towards persons who are more different. You cleverly weave your way through tricky situations, but you never forget the object of your devotion, which could be an idea, a love, a project, etc., and this is what makes you seem so mysterious when people meet you for the first time.

Unlike your Aries Sun, which urges you to take action quickly and to demonstrate boldness at the risk of offending your interlocutors, your Pisces Ascendant is more cautious and dislikes strongly marked differences because it prefers to escape from the painful necessity to make mutilating and illusory choices. Nevertheless, one must bear in mind that beneath Pisces’ ambiguous behaviour, your independent and fiery Aries Sun can show up at any time.

In matters of love, sex and dating the need to be needed is strong. You must be aware of setting boundaries in relationships otherwise you could be taken advantage of. A Pisces Ascendant must learn to give love without losing the self. If you’re in a good love match however, your dreamy imagination can take love and sex to a whole new dimension.

When Arians want to, they can be very charming and hard to resist by the opposite sex. People born under the Aries sign need to harness their powerful energies, or even rein them in a little, so those with whom they would like to spend time are not overwhelmed by their advances.

Arians are enthusiastic and adventurous lovers. They will always want to push to take their lovemaking to new plateaus. Their partners can sometimes be overwhelmed by this spirited approach. Arians love to experiment and to take things to the limit, so, roll over Kama Sutra, the Arian lover is re-writing it all from scratch!

Aries Sun & Scorpio Moon

Even though both my sun and moon sign are strong I feel like my moon sign dominates my personality. I’m an ambivert, I’m secretive, I’m moody, and I feel like no one understands me. I do relate to my Aries sun sign because I’m a leader, I get angry very easily, and I fear my weaknesses. Outwardly I seem strong and aloof but I’m actually overly emotional and extremely sensitive. I’m terrified of abandonment and rejection so I maintain a tough exterior.

Planetary Squares (fixed lecture)

So, for some reason tumblr did not like my planetary squares lectures, so I am reuploading the whole thing (minus the nice charts I made on excel but they didn’t even upload) , so enjoy

Each of the seven classical planets in witchcraft has “planetary squares” devised of many numbers. These squares are used mainly in the making of, sigils, then these sigils are used in talismans, seals of spirits, and just plan sigil with an attribution to a planet.

Planetary squares are used heavily in all forms of magick, especially the creations of talismans, in spirit work, and all aspects of ceremonial witchcraft. The seven classical planets are; Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon. The moon and the sun are in fact listed as planets in traditional and medieval magicks; it irks me as well.

The actual squares come from the magickal system the Kabbalah (notice the spelling is different from the Qabalah because in more modern western occultism as they are different systems in many aspects). So, for example, Saturn is a planetary symbol of the Binah, the third Sephirah on the Kabbalah/ Tree of Life. This the square has three compartments each way (vertically and horizontality), each section (sub-division) is a number in the square (math time three time three is 9). So all numbers from one to nine are arranged in a way that each column will add up to 15, and the three columns will add up to 45. (Saturn is also the smallest square, you can also see it at the bottom of this lecture)

I am not going to explain more on each planet squares separately, as one can find them online and one does not need to make squares as they are already made for the magi. Since this is an ancient system of magick, and especially since you can find any information of this from most Golden Dawn books, and because I am still mad at tumblr for making redo this lecture.

Many spirits’ seals people in the creation of entities such as servitors, egregores, and god-heads, come from the squares shown above (usually Saturn or Mars)

Now I am sure all of you are wondering what you can do with these squares and are wondering what these numbers mean. Traditionally one would use Hebrew numerology for these squares, I personally already dislike using the Kabbalah, so I use the western system of numerology, the Pythagorean system (you may remember Pythagorean from algebra and “fun” math problems with triangles). As one can see each letter can be reduced to a number with this system, it is those letters and numbers which you will use with the planetary squares. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (K and V, these are “master letters” and should not be reduced if possible) Usually, in this system of numerology the vowels are separated from the consonants, but for sigil-making, you do not use this custom. Let’s take the name “Gavin” first we must match it up to the numbers in the chart above. Which is simple enough G a v I n 7 1 4 9 5 Now since we are making a sigil l from this name we would keep the vowels in the name. Next, what would one want to do with this name? What is the intent? Let us say that Gavin needs to be aggressive and warlike for the big ruby game coming up, for this we will use the square of Mars. Let us use Square of Mars representing the fifth Sephirah of Geburah. Each side has five units for a total of 25 squares with each line both sideways and up and down counting 65, the total being 325.

Now here is the part where the actual sigil making takes place. It is very simple, one must connect the numbers in the name to form the sigil. when they are done they must rewrite the outline they just made (but without the chart behind it) (this is where tumblr messed up on my last lecture, I cannot uploaded the finished sigil for some reason??? @staff help pls)

Now this is only one way to do this type of sigil/square. The Pythagorean system is one way, but since the numbers only go up to 9, it is not a good system to use when you are doing the bigger squares with numbers higher than 9, even a simple square like Mars is a good example above. If one used a larger phrase than just the name “Gavin” they could not put it on the square without it looking like gibberish because of all the repeating numbers. Because of this, most people use the system of numbers and letters below. (there are two to pick from in the chart below) the first is referred to as standard and the second number is the ordinal value (I made a nice chart BUT TUMBLR HATES ME) A:1,1 B: 2,2 C: 3,3 D:4,4 E:5,5 F:6,6 G:7,7 H:8,8 I:9,9 J:10,10 K: 20,11 L: 30, 12 M: 40, 13 N:50, 14 O:60,15 P: 70,16 Q: 80,17 R: 90,18 S: 100,19 T: 200,20 U: 300,21 V: 400,22 W: 500,23 X: 600,24 Y:700, 25 Z: 800, 26

I usually end up using the Ordinal Values because I do not like to reduce the Standard values which you will have to do because it is more stolen from the Hebrew system. However, it is best that you know at least 2 of three given systems of numerology above, but you should know all three if you are heavily into sigilisation. (like I am)

Now below are the seven classical planets and their squares, the descriptions come from the Grater Key of Solomon

Saturn: ‘In the Days and Hours of Saturn, thou canst perform experiments…to cause good or ill success to business, possessions, goods, seeds, fruits and similar things, in order to acquire learning; to bring destruction and give death, and to sow hatred and discord.

Jupiter: ‘The Days and Hours of Jupiter are proper for obtaining honours, acquiring riches; contracting friendships, preserving health; and arriving at all that thou canst desire.

Mars: ‘In the Days and Hours of Mars thou canst make experiments regarding War; to arrive at military honour; to acquire courage; to overthrow enemies; and further to cause ruin, slaughter, cruelty, discord; to wound and to give death.

Sun: ‘The Days and Hours of the Sun are very good for perfecting experiments regarding temporal wealth, hope, gain, fortune, divination, the favour of princes, to dissolve hostile feeling, and to make friends.

Venus: ‘The Days and Hours of Venus are good for forming friendships; for kindness and love; for joyous and pleasant undertakings, and for traveling.

Mercury: ‘The Days and Hours of Mercury are good to operate for eloquence and intelligence; promptitude in business; science and divination; wonders; apparitions; and answers regarding the future. Thou canst also operate under this Planet for thefts; writings; deceit; and merchandise.

Moon: ‘The Days and Hours of the Moon are good for embassies; voyages; envoys; messages; navigation; reconciliation; love, and the acquisition of merchandise by water.’

Asteroid 34 CIRCE

DISCOVERY DATE: 06 April 1855 Keywords: Enchantress, witch, magic, bewitchment, herbalism

Circe lived alone on an uncharted island where she practiced witchcraft, necromancy, shape shifting, shamanism, herbalism and illusion. She was multi talented and was especially known for her knowledge of potions.

Birth/Natal Chart: In the natal chart Circe may influence magic, cunning abilities and the libido along with bewitching tendencies. In the birth chart, Circe represents how we use magic, herbs, and alchemy to arrive at an end. Where we can cast illusion is seen with Circe. Talent with Paganism, energy moving and causing or assisting in the transformation of others are all elements of Circe. Some negatives associated with this asteroid are; the desire and talent to manipulate, a propensity for cunning, and our hidden selfish motivations. The desire to help, Circe perceives itself as a helper and a facilitator. Its position indicates who, how and, most importantly, why you aid others. In mythology, Circe turned men into swine -so expect some sorcery in connection with offers of aid- along with a need to examine motives for “being so helpful.” While Circe may feel impelled to help, beneath its benign exterior may be the sub-message that you can`t do it, that you need or require help.“

Circe by house placement will show what area of life her powers show up in, aspects to Circe point to how we use the energies of this asteroid.

CIRCE’s Mythology

When Odysseus landed upon her island with his men, she turned them into swine with a powerful brew and proceeded to mess with Odysseus for about a year. Odysseus was warned this witch would steal his manhood if he blinked an eye and he required her promise that she would not before he gave in to her love potion and became her toy. Hermes lent a helping hand and eventually, Odysseus’ men were changed back into what they were before Circe had her fun. Odysseus knew Circe had the information he needed to reach his goal and he had to play his cards right to get it. Under the enchantment of Circe, Odysseus lounged on her island and in her bed while his men ate and drank and waited for orders. Finally, he was released and went on to ultimate success. Circe was a lusty figure with an agenda. In a time where women were married and kept under wraps, she was all about being on her own and getting what she saw as her due. That dude washed up on her beach and she was gonna’ get laid, I mean, paid. Circe has a shameless side to her. This asteroid can show us where we are not about to bend to the judgements or limitations of others.

Circe is a ‘dark’ main belt asteroid and also considered a magician – sorceress – enchantress. It seems she wants to do what she loves in privacy. She has little desire to be in the public eye and is attracted to what the normal world would consider dark and manipulative. What adds to this perception is that she was living a solitary existence, one away from society and surrounding herself with animals and her crafts. It is others, the males, who encroach on her asylum, to which she welcomes them and offers them hospitality. To my mind, it would seem that they perhaps acted like the animal she turned them into, pigs – it was merely an action taken towards behavior in her personal haven. However, she held the key of knowledge, how to reach the end goal of Odysseus’s personal journey. To gain this information, there were lies, spells and trickery afoot but in the end, she did the right thing. His men were freed, he found out his information and she had a passionate lover affair. It seems that a main drive for her is defined in her science. Overall, in her solitude, she has chosen to shun much of the other feminine ways – Ceres (motherhood), Pallas (daddy’s girl and diplomat) and Vesta (home body). She is the aggressor with others and forms relationships on her terms, more as a business union than that of an emotional interchange. She knows her passions, her belief system, has her own moral boundaries and makes no apologies. We can consider Circe as a secretive place in our psyche where we can attempt to undermine others, as well as ourselves. It is a place that we will seek alternative answers on our ‘personal journey’ and it would be interesting to see in transition to your natal, if Circe has been in play if you have experienced ‘magical events’. She obviously denotes magic and wicca/pagan desires in ones chart and would be a strong placement in any who chose this form of belief system. It also defines a desire to explore more natural means of healing and a simpler life away from societal expectations. Circe is where we can be manipulative or are manipulated by others to get to where we want to go. Where there are secret deals with hidden agendas and emotional considerations.”
