Oh yeah you know what I also like? How Enid is super affectionate and immediately wants to hug Wednesday, but when she sees Wednesday doesn’t like hugs she RESPECTS that. A lot of times with the grumpy vs bubbly characters, the grumpy one is forced to endure hugs from the bubbly one, who totally ignores their wishes. Enid actually respects Wednesday’s boundaries and she corrects herself when she starts to mess up. Enid is such a queen.

Astrology observations pt.4
⚡️ I’ve noticed Cancer placements are attracted to Aries placements. Maybe bc they’re like the baldness and confidence they may feel they lack themselves sometimes.
⚡️ Undeveloped Cancer placements can actually be quite self absorbed from what I’ve noticed. They just experience a lot of emotions and so sometimes they feel the need to express them and they get so wrapped up with their own problems and feelings that they can neglect other’s too or just not focus on others as much, especially to people close to them that they feel comfortable doing that to.
⚡️Cancer placements also unfortunately can have a lot of insecurities and feelings of inferiority. They can lack self worth and feel unloved or unworthy of true love. They can compare themselves and feel others are better than them. It’s important for them to surround themselves with people that will be assuring, affectionate and patient enough towards them.
⚡️ Aqua Pisces influence together in a chart can make for a very charming, talented, creative & spiritual person. It can be hard to resist their unique attractivness. Ex- Adam Levine, Madison Beer, Justin Bieber.
⚡️ Sun conjunct Venus are usually loved by others and very social and charming. Can attract love and money easily.
⚡️ Aries placements especially Aries moon in females can make them jealous to the point of psychosis. Aries as a sign is very competitive and sometimes can’t stand the thought of somebody else being better than them or ‘winning’ over their partner. Also a very dramatic & restless sign at times so they feel things passionately and can’t seem to be able control it, especially with moon which rules over your emotions .
⚡️ Also aries moon & Venus (can also be sun & mars) females seem to love getting naked & showing off their bodies. They just seem very comfortable in their own skin and like showing it off.
⚡️ Undeveloped Aries females can bully the shit Outta you when they want and feel like it. Pls stop being negative and talking shit about others it’s not cool also stop being angry and resentful k bye
⚡️ Pisces sun women are usually well liked by others. They also usually will play the victim of the story, even if they’re not.
⚡️ Pisces sun people are generally forgiven easily for mistakes they’ve made more than other people. No matter how big they’re mistakes were.
⚡️ Libra sun females can be envious of other woman. Especially about their beauty and the attention they get or stuff like that. Can be quite manipulative too, they can be quite smart or cunning when they want.
⚡️ Gemini’s need people for their well being. It can be hard for them to be alone with their intruding thoughts too much therefore they need people around them a lot.

The following observations are some of the things I have noticed in people around me. They may or may not resonate with you as we have to consider the entire chart for more precise and accurate insights.
➛ Mercury-Neptune people can be so forgetful. The Neptune influence can “blur” their memory. The daydreaming tendencies do not help either.
➛ Scorpio Mars/Mars-Pluto have the fastest reflexes ever. These are the people you want to hire as bodyguards since they are also naturally protective.
➛ Adding to that, Scorpio Mars/Mars-Pluto natives need to be aware of their surroundings. They are not the types to listen to music at full volume due to the fear of missing out on what is happening around them.
➛ Chiron in the 12th House natives are more prone to having eye injuries/impaired vision. Chiron indicates wounds, and the 12th House rules the eyes.
➛ Also, I have mentioned in the first part of my observations that Mars in the 12th House people do not know how to express their temper outwardly. Instead of this, I noticed that they are more likely to resort to eye rolls. Lots and lots of eye rolls.
➛ Saturn in the 3rd House people are often the quiet fellows in the corner. They embody the saying 'less talk, less mistake.' Some keep their feelings to themselves, while some resort to creative means of communication. Anything else aside from direct and verbal expressions.
➛ Leo with Virgo placements hates being reprimanded. The pride (Leo) and the feeling of being always right (Virgo) make for someone who cannot accept criticisms quite well.
➛ Prominent Aquarius placements always have the urge to “document” everything they see on technology. I noticed they always fish out their phone cameras whenever they see something worthwhile.
➛ Neptune/Pisces in the 11th House natives may get taken advantage of by their friends. They usually cannot see their peer's red flags, so they often have difficulties cutting them off.
➛ If you have your Moon in the 1st House, you may try your luck by doing reaction videos on YouTube. This placement makes for people whose emotions (Moon) are evident in their facial expressions (1H). The audience will not get bored of you.
➛ The house Gemini occupies in your chart may tell you where you overshare/talk a lot about.
Gemini in the 10th House may talk a lot about career and ambitions. They may overshare something with a father figure. Gemini in the 2nd House may talk a lot about gaining financial abundance. They may also overshare their income, material possessions, and so on.
➛ Venus in the 3rd or the 9th House is a huge indicator of a sapiosexual. Venus rules love and attraction, and these houses represent education.
➛ Some of the Capricorn placements I know have noticeable teeth. It may be the thing that other people remember/notice about them first. Capricorn rules the teeth.
➛ 12th House placements may become intimidated easily, especially if they do not have Aries, Scorpio, or 1st House placements.
➛ North Node in Leo is meant to overcome their inferiority complex in this lifetime.
➛ Also, I believe Leos and Aquariuses may feel superior to others due to different reasons.
Leos may feel superior to others because of how confident they are. They often steal the spotlight and like receiving attention from other people.
Aquariuses may feel superior to others because of their unique taste and perspective. They take pride in being different.
It may also happen as an act to mask inferiority. Leos' insecurity may cause them to indulge in other people's attention as a coping mechanism. The same way that Aquariuses might felt down at one point because of feeling outcasted and misunderstood.
➛ Neptune-Pluto aspects in a chart may indicate fear of mirrors or reflections.
➛ Cancer Moons 🤝 suddenly getting all emotional and extra affectionate when drunk
➛ Saturn in the 5th House may keep their hobbies/interests to themselves. Either they avoid talking about them with people who do not share the same interests, or they do not like talking about them with people in general.
➛ Earth Sign in the 3rd House could be a kinesthetic learner. 3rd House may indicate how we perceive information, and Earth signs are highly in-tune with their senses.
➛ Men with prominent Cancer placements love calling their significant other, usually a feminine figure, “momma” or any terms a child would use to call their mother. Cancer rules motherhood.
➛ Mars-Neptune aspects may appear as clumsy.
➛ Scorpio/Pluto in the 10th House does not like showing their achievements to the public. Also, these people may like being underestimated at first, so they can prove you wrong eventually. They are most fond of surprises.
➛ I'm sorry, but why are we associating Taurus with gift-giving while continuously giving them the reputation of being possessive? Isn't it a bit contradictory? Anyway, physical touch remains their top love language.
➛ Jupiter-Pluto aspects are the biggest risk-takers. They feel powerful (Pluto) when gambling. (Jupiter) And most of the time, they get what they want.
➛ An extroverted Gemini is hands down the most extroverted person ever.
➛ If someone's ascendant sign is the same as the sign in your 12th House, you may be irritated by their presence or the way they express themselves.
➛ Several women I know who have Venus-Saturn aspects in a chart like calling men they find attractive “sir”. This placement makes for someone whose type (Venus) is people older than them (Saturn), so that explains why.
➛ People who have their personal planets in your angular houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th) are the ones who will leave a significant impact or influence on your life.
➛ Taurus Risings' and Virgo Risings' voices are to die for. They have the most soothing ones, in my opinion. I can listen to them talk for hours.
➛ It's crazy how Gemini Stellium people can look different every single day.
➛ Scorpio Risings can be seen as dry texters. I believe it is probably due to Capricorn occupying their 3rd House of communication. 3rd House is ruled by a Mercurial sign (Gemini), which is associated with social media.
➛ Mercury-Chiron/Chiron in the 6th House is probability prone to anxiety and nervousness.
➛ It's astounding how Capricorns, no matter how goofy and crackhead they act, lead so well. This girl in my class looked like someone who wouldn't take anything seriously. But the moment she got the leadership position, she turned into an entirely different person who could lead anyone to perfection. It was so fascinating to witness.
➛ Chiron's house placement may show whom you give the most pity.
Chiron in the 5th House may have a soft spot for children. Chiron in the 12th House may have a soft spot for the elderly.
➛ Moon in the 8th House may inherit something from their mother more than their father. It can be a physical attribute (they may look more similar to their mother than their father), personality, money, and material possession, among others. The Moon represents the mother, and the 8th House rules over inheritances. The same situation may apply in Sun in the 8th House natives with their father. (Sun represents the father)
➛ The Air Signs couple's love language is delivering new gossip to each other. What a sweet bonding moment!

Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(
Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!
Hey everyone they have NOT moved to:

Do NOT enter this url to find free books :)
Some more websites to definitely not look up:
pdfdrive.com for 79,081,664 eBooks for free

Astro Observations
N°7
。˚۰˚☽˚⁀➷。˚。˚۰˚☽˚⁀➷。˚
All of these are based off of my own experiences, and dedicated to my loved ones who inspired me to make this post! Please take the information with a grain of salt if it does not resonate, as astrology can manifest in many different ways— other than the suggested notes below.
☼— Book a reading with me here! —☼
ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ ‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ˊ⸊ˎˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ ‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ˊ⸊ˎ
➷ The house your Aquarius falls in can show you where people often seek tech support or social media knowledge from you!
Ex. I have a 4H Aquarius and my parents always ask me to help them with social media. My ex has an 11H Aquarius and his friends always ask for help with torrents… and a friend of mine has it in their 6H! She often uses technology for work
➷ 6H or Virgo Moons may have moms who are very particular about their interior home design, table set up and other daily routines. They enjoy organizing their places so that everything is in order and convenient
➷ Although contrary to popular belief, 6H or Virgo Moon natives themselves may not be as organized or strict with their daily routines. While yes— they often have their own rituals that they don’t break from… there’s still a likelihood of emotions influencing them. This is due to the fact that the moon fluctuates in energy
➷ Natives with a Scorpio Mercury or Mercury at a Scorpio degree (8°, 20°) have a very keen and sharp intelligence! They’ll often notice mistakes in writing or research and usually aren’t afraid to point them out…
➷ Having Pisces or Neptune in your 3H Composite chart doesn’t always mean there will be misunderstandings and confusion in your interactions. In some cases, topics of music, spirituality or the arts may dominate the majority of your conversations
➷ People tend to take a Scorpio rising’s words very seriously and to heart. This is because they have a 3H Capricorn and Virgo on the cusp of their 10H - 11H.
The reason for this is because they come off as mature and very thoughtful in their expression. It’s also because everyone knows they won’t say anything unless they feel like they need to or really mean it
Sometimes people don’t realize when they’re joking because their humour can be really sarcastic yet sound dry lol
➷ Those who have 11H Suns (especially with North Node)are likely to find themselves easily becoming influencers/trend setters. This is due to the fact that the 11H governs society and social media, while the Sun is where you shine and act as a role model!
➷ The sign on the cusp of your 11H can further show you what people are inspired by when it comes to you. It may also hint at what you often share and post online as well, especially since this house is the opposite of the 5H that governs hobbies and interests
Ex. People are often inspired by my aesthetics and thoughts since I have an 11H Libra. My bestie has an 11H Taurus and people are definitely inspired by her aesthetics too!
The difference in our social presence and artistry is that her pursuits are deeply rooted in physical beauty, whereas I focus a lot on art theory and history. There was a time when she often shared her nail designs on social media!
➷ Having 9H placement(s) harshly aspected by 6H placement(s) may indicate a native who may not enjoy travelling because it disrupts their routine or gives them a bit of anxiety during the planning process
Ex. My friend has a 9H Stellium that squares his 6H Moon and he always tells me how he travels for work and school but doesn’t always enjoy it because of the above reasons
➷ If you have a Libra rising or Libra midheaven in your Composite chart, you best bet people think you and your partner are very attractive together! This is because Libra is the sign that naturally governs relationships, while Composite charts are made to see the dynamic of them
ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ ‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ˊ⸊ˎˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ ‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̥͙̽‿̩͙ˊ⸊ˎ
➷ A 7H or Libra Stellium in the Composite chart shows how people may actually be jealous of your relationship because it seems to be very well balanced and ideal! After all… the 7H governs open enemies too
➷ I’ve noticed that some Sun conjunct Moon natives have parents who aren’t always in perfect union when it comes to raising them. Instead, one parent may actually act as both the “mother” and “father” figure while the other is more absent or passive
➷ Those who have a 7H Moon may have a mom (or emotionally dominant parent) who often talks about relationships with them
Especially if it’s in Gemini, they’ll likely ask a lot of questions relating to the native’s partnerships due to curiosity!
In some cases, they’re asking so they can protect the native from potential bad apples since the 7H governs open enemies too. I mean… That 8H Cancer hints at the parent being very psychic or intuitive
➷ I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this in nearly all of my observations before, but I can’t emphasize this enough! Neptune governs cameras and illusions
So 5H Pisces/Neptune natives may find themselves going on dates with people who often enjoy taking photos of them. This is potentially due to the native attracting photographers, artsy people or simply mesmerizing them to the extent that they become a muse
➷ Therefore, having one or more of the 9 Muse asteroids in the 5H or even 7H can indicate this as well. It could also specify the type of muse they’re likely to become to others who adore them:
22 Calliope - Leader of all the muses, and of Epic Poetry
84 Clio - Muse of History
62 Erato - Muse of Love
27 Euterpe - Muse of Music
18 Melpomene - Muse of Tragedy
33 Polyhymnia - Muse of the Sacred
81 Terpsichore - Muse of Dance
23 Thalia - Muse of Comedy
30 Urania - Muse of Astronomy/Astrology
➷ You may find yourself feeling comfortable with those who have the sign of your 2H as their sun due to the fact that they give you more reassurance and confidence! Since this is the house of self-esteem and value, it’s quite clear how they appreciate you and vice versa
Ex. One of my best friends is a Sagittarius sun (and I’m a 2H Sagittarius). I value her perspectives regarding religion and philosophy! I find her incredibly intelligent and admire her drive when it comes to pursuits in higher knowledge
➷ Chiron conjunct North Node (especially with a Double Whammy) in Synastry may indicate a connection where the two are openly vulnerable with one another about their wounds. Perhaps they have bonded over talking about them, found healing through one another and/or encouraged each other to continue on in the path towards their purpose
The houses of these placements further hint at the types of wounds that are expressed
Ex. I have an 11H Chiron and North node while my best friend has a 4H Chiron and North Node. I’ve talked a lot about my pain regarding ostracization in friendships, while she’s often talked to me about her problems at home
*Note: Chiron doesn’t stay in all of the signs within an equal timeframe. It sits in Aries and Pisces for about 7 to 8 years and only 1 to 2 years in Virgo and Libra
Whereas the North and South Nodes change signs every 18 months
➷ The sign and planets of your 6H can describe the traits of your pet(s)! I’ve briefly written about it in this observation, explaining the personality of a 6H Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) pet
(Please let me know if y'all want a more extensive post explaining the different pet personalities based on astrology!)
➷ Pay attention to 3H overlays in Synastry because the other person’s house can show you what type of topics the two of you learn and talk about the most!
Ex. My ex-boyfriend’s 10H was overlaying my 3H. He really helped me learn about starting a business and it improved my public image/career path! My 12H is also overlaying my friend’s 3H and we often talk about spirituality and our existential crises with one another
➷ Having someone else’s Mars in your 7H can be a bit of a concern. There’s a possibility that they’ll project their insecurities and anger onto you if they have yet to develop the Martian energy maturely. This is due to the 7H governing our shadow selves.
Otherwise, the Mars person will perhaps feel quite passionate, driven, and excited in pursuing this connection!

i am obsessed with the idea of an article about an american artist being written the way american journalists write about foreign artists
As we sit down to chat, I am struck by the Americanness of his features (he looks like he has 64 teeth instead of 32) and demeanor (he is charmingly obnoxious). He is sporting a purple and gold synthetic fabric shirt. “LeBron James,” he says, hand on his chest, “love that dude.” [A/N LeBron James is a player from a local basketball team called The Los Angeles Lakers] – it is not uncommon, even to this day, for Americans to retain old-fashioned values and beliefs such as sport idolatry. His American accent is very thick, almost unintelligible, but his humorous nature transcends any language barrier, at least until we delve into the topic of his tragic childhood. “We had no bidet,” he admits, his blushing cheeks betraying his embarrassment, “and we used to eat frozen croissants and store-bought ragù bolognese.” He looks somber now, the ancestral sorrow visible on his American face. “It was just really hard,” he says after a short pause, tears now welling in his eyes, “to grow up without the privilege of underage smoking and tramways like all the European kids.”
gentle reminder that south korea is occupied korea
US military bases are vectors of violence against the indigenous population as both infrastructure of occupation and a warehouse for violent men.
This is especially true in the case of sexual violence against women and LGBT people.
The US military has never been and will never be “diverse” and “inclusive” in any way shape or form.
All its bases need to be closed.
This is absolutely true. One of the things that kept coming up when I talked to LGBT+ people in Korea that did sex work or were simply cruising and got abused by the US troops stationed there, was that there was no recourse from the Korean police or the US military disciplinary arms. Further, Republic of Korea has a long history of leftist actions being put down by violent dictators that either got outright support or blessings from US military stationed in Korea (Gwangju Resistance is the biggest one). We cannot have justice, be it economic, gender, or LGBT+, with the US military stationed in Korea.
As a quick aside, this is also true for Japan.
we need the USA out of Northeast Asia, and we need it out now.
emily wilson, introduction to the odyssey
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, a former chairman and CEO of Nestlé, called the idea that water is a human right "extreme."
Nestlé is also responsible for hooking up millions of parents in low-income countries with infant formula, handing out samples and tricking them to believe it’s better for the babies, while these families have no means of preparing formula safely, with clean water, or the means to clean their equipment. This resulted in tens of thousands of babies getting sick with diarrhea or getting underfed, because by the time families realized they couldn’t afford it, breastmilk had dried up.
For this reason the WHO called to life the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes in 1981.
Guess who is still a violated of this code, 40 years later...
Boycott Nestle.
Boycotting Nestle (especially if you’re also boycotting similarly evil multinational food conglomerates) is pretty close to impossible because “[N]estlé owns over 2000 brands in 186 countries.”
These corporations need to be seized by an international--and internationalist--workers movement dedicated to decolonization. Because of Nestle and other corporations monopolistic hold on food distribution, nothing short of that kind of movement will fully rectify this situation.
