Tough Placements that Indicate a Hard life | 2

Disclaimer: Having these placements does not automatically make your life hard, these are common placement patterns dedicated to each SPECIFIC area of life. I only listed a few to avoid fear mongering but there are more in PART 1 and more posts in my MASTERLIST

Part 1 Sections:

Family Life & Emotions

Enemies

Part 2 Sections:

Financially

Identity/Sense of self

Financially:

Pluto/Lilith in the 2nd House: The planet of death, destruction, power struggles, and transformation in the 2nd house of money, self-worth, values, foundations, and generational wealth is honestly rough af. A lot of the time the native’s family will blackmail them with money and withhold resources as a form of control to manipulate the individual. Your favourite items were probably thrown away or restricted from use and people in your own family may have tried to steal from you. As a result, your confidence has probably been shattered and you’ve worked hard or are currently working towards a secure and stable income source. This placement often goes through multiple toxic jobs until they find the one they feel safest in without worrying about being fired unfairly. People in the workspace are often jealous of your assets but they don’t know how hard you worked to achieve them. Never touch a Pluto in the 2nd house personal items, they will lose it lmao it means everything to them. I also see parents being excessively frugal with this placement and the family may have gone through cycles of extreme poverty.

2nd/8th House Stellium: The 2nd house rules over what you materially and monetarily gain and the 8th house is what people take from you as it rules over debts and loans as well as shared resources. That’s why the 8th house is the house of death and loss, but also regeneration which can be translated into money here. These people can either be severely poor and in debt for most of their life or gain mass power that could even be from hidden organizations (more so with the 8th house). Major lessons need to be learned through any stellium in the 2nd/8th house and their money as it plays a big theme in their life so, these people will often go through severe stages of loss and gains in wealth.

Saturn in the 2nd House: Saturn…oh dear, the planet of restrictions, delays, and karmic life lessons will no doubt restrict someone’s income and financial opportunities. This is the placement I find working harder than the rest yet still reaping no benefits until they work extremely hard continuously for a long period of time and make sacrifices. They usually need to learn how to manage their money better and are provided with no opportunities to gain, they simply have to push through and work for it. However, they usually end up in a long-term job successfully and reap high-paying benefits if they push through it all successfully and learn how to manage money. If they don’t, they usually suffer from a career downfall and lose a lot of material gains that are valuable to them. They have to be careful with how they manage their wealth and can’t blow their money excessively. 

Chiron in the 10th House: The wounded healer is actually classified as a comet or minor planet (wikipedia lol) but is grouped in with many asteroids. Therefore, I have found significance with Chiron placements and patterns of financial troubles in the 10th house. You are able to boost other coworkers’ positions and help them receive recognition through your own work, but this also hurts your ego as you are usually behind the scenes doing most of the work yet receiving few to no benefits. I can definitely see this placement getting their work copied or stolen often as it heals others but wounds themselves. This placement is also prone to bullying in the workspace whether it’s your bullying or being bullied. Usually, you’re part of a power dynamic where you are the person left behind while the others get public fame and could even use it against you. I do see this placement potentially being the victim of white-collar crime as authorities could perhaps view you as a threat and want you out of a job. 

Neptune in the 8th House: A foggy world of debt you’ve lost track of. Loans and investments are very risky here, and the native could be cheated out of an inheritance or income without their knowledge. A lot of the time they struggle with money and lose it more than it comes in due to Neptune’s foggy nature that just absorbs and absorbs while never putting out anything into reality. Money is not Neptunes bestie especially when placed in the house of debt, death, shared resources, and the occult. They also are prone to spiritual attacks and evil spirits clinging to them. Ya’ll need hella protection fr.

Uranus in the 2nd House: Your personal and material foundations will probably go through a drastic a disastrous change. Uranus is like the tower card in astrology to me because your foundation crumbles unexpectedly to the point where you’re left with nothing and have to build a new path because your foundation was no longer serving you. That’s exactly how I view this placement. Uranus will completely turn your values and possessions upside down but it’s so you can let go and make progressive changes in your life. It’s just…a really awful and extreme process.

Venus square Saturn: What you want vs what you need cannot be achieved at the same time here and you are forced to limit what you want in life and push it away so you can attain what you NEED in life. Your sense of love, relationships, and confidence in appearance is shattered at first and insecurities make you feel like being in love or achieving what you want in life is impossible. But, in the end after achieving what you first need, you’re able to get what you want. When it comes to money the same concept applies and you’re very limited in material gain. It’s definitely a frustrating process as you feel like you’re late to everything in life such as success and relationship experience.

Ruler of the 11th house in the 8th house: The 11th house rules over friendship, communities, and technology. But, also our wishes and benefits/rewards after our hard work. Therefore, when placed in the house of debt, hidden power struggles, and occult could translate into your benefits stolen from you by your friends or a hidden organization of people. This is a very specific observation but I found it interesting, let me know if anyone has this and what it’s like.

Your Identity:

Pisces moon: Imma be so honest right now, these people although the sweetest humans on earth also are trained to live their life sacrificing for others and constantly saving and helping people…to the point of their detriment like it’s insane. They also are very impressionable through Neptune’s influence of easily absorbing others’ opinions and influence which fogs up their own sense of identity and self-awareness. If you told a Pisces moon an observation about themselves they always believe it or spend time thinking about it because they start to question themselves and the reality of situations. Words really stick to them and they take a lot to heart. They, also unconsciously pick up other people’s personalities, styles, and mannerisms due to Neptune’s projective nature. it takes a while for them to build their own solid identity tbh.

Scorpio rising/Pluto in 1st: They receive a lot of criticism and backlash for doing what everyone else does. The only difference is people seek to EXPOSE Scorpio risings for normal and seemingly harmless things. Scorpio risings do tend to be a usual target to the public and the same goes for Pluto because they are both associated with power struggles between the individual and the public perception of them. This is also why they tend to stay low profile and quiet because pluto/scorpio’s influence hides them a bit amongst public interaction. But once they say something or make a move it’s like..BOOM suddenly they’ve captured everyone’s attention due to that power and exposure theme present. There’s also this magnetism to them that makes people feel very polar in terms of love or hate, as these individuals just can’t be read while simultaneously pulling people in (me, I am the one pulled in).  

Chiron in the 1st: This is going to be sad, I believe Chiron in the angular houses (mainly 1, 7 & 10) is an indicator of being bullied in your life. I’ve had many friends with this placement and they have all been bullied. They never feel satisfied with themselves and go through periods of self-destruction. It’s actually very similar to sun-pluto that way. Their identity feels like it’s ruled by others’ opinions and they become scared to express themselves out of fear of severe judgment so they often tone down their personality a bit and put on a mask. I’ve also seen a similar theme with Chiron in the 3rd house but to a lesser degree and more focus on speaking and standing up for themselves.

Saturn in the 5th House: This completely restricts your ability to feel happiness from creative pursuits, you almost feel guilty participating in any creative hobby or project that puts you into the spotlight. Saturn limits your sense of personal happiness and ability to casually be intimate or connect with other people. The heart chakra is very plugged up here and it leaves depressing energy tbh. It’s hard for you to play and have fun without feeling self-conscious that someone will judge you for it. But, it’s also hard for you to feel motivated or courageous enough to go after your true passions and hobbies. I had this transit last year..and honestly worst Saturn transit I’ve experienced thus far. it just dims your sparkle so much and hurts bad.

Stellium in the 7th/12th House: For the 7th house stellium, a lot of your focus in life will be placed on helping others and worrying about their judgements. You’ve spent so much time trying to please people and get along with people to the point where you have forgotten about your own needs because you prioritize others’ perceptions of you over your own identity. In the 12th house, your identity stays hidden most of the time, you’re comparing yourself to others wondering how you can stand out or become more ambitious in life but you also feel at peace alone away from the chaos. however, I think too much time spent in your head alone actually can delude you a bit and not fully understand who you are.

Uranus opposite Ascendant: They feel like they are never good enough or accepted as themselves so they always want to change identities or aesthetics to something they know people hype up or what makes them feel appreciated. they aren’t afraid to show their weird and fun side, but they are criticized and looked down upon for it especially.

Moon in the 7th House: Idk I always see these people trying to change others and spending time around toxic people to the point where they are confused about their own goals in life because they’re also very sacrificing. they do need close relationships to function and this can turn into codependency even in friendships. It gets to a point where even if it’s toxic they are likely to stay because they feel like themselves and complete when they are with someone. Like fr I ALWAYS see them with the shittiest people helpp

Fire moons: The element of ego and destruction placed in the moon’s turbulent and emotional nature? yikes. They are kinda explosive and don’t know what to make of themselves. A lot of their life is consumed by trying to take action and start movements in the outside world but what happens in their internal world? exactly they don’t know lol. For a lot of their life, they try to self-reflect and understand themselves to better control their fiery and explosive emotions and express themselves better. The moon typically doesn’t perform well in the fire element as the nature of these two are opposite and combative. They act impulsively and sometimes selfishly or end up sacrificing too much on the flip side. There is no balance with fire moons and this makes it hard for them to express their emotions properly or even understand their own identity as most of it stems from the outside world and lacks internally. They are very self-conscious as a result of a focus on external needs (cough validation from others cough).

South Node in the 7th & 12th House: Your goal in life is literally to focus on your Identity, goals, and perception of the world. But guess what your natural skills are? You’re a great diplomatic negotiator who knows what people want to hear. So, you end up always catering to what you think someone wants instead of what you actually want. You’ve gotten so used to this pattern that it becomes an unbreakable and instinctual habit out of fear of conflict and standing up for yourself. Not everyone is right plz stop thinking others opinions matter over yours boo

Neptune in the 1st House: I think this placement, in particular, might be the most common among those who struggle with their identity. It’s because Neptune the planet of the unknown realm, mysticism, illusions, dreams, confusion, and the sea is in your house of subjective identity, how you view the world, and your physical characteristics. Now ya’ll are beautiful, drop-dead gorgeous okay? but omylord do you receive so much shit from the public. People falsely accuse you for everything even if you’re innocent and have no part in anything. They also love to spread rumours and makeup illusions of you in other people’s minds. You’re talked about a lot in circles, just like an enigma. And people assume random things about you and project them onto your identity.  The worst part is, that you and everyone else believe everything others say. It’s like your identity is controversial itself??? It’s interesting that people can’t properly see below the surface level and into the deep sea that is your real personality. So, they end up making myths about you.

Neptune in the 3rd House: I feel like no one actually tries to listen to you as much as you listen to them. Miscommunications seem to be a common problem for you, and as a result, it’s just hard for you to express yourself and your opinions. I usually see this placement as shy because they’re tired of always being misunderstood. The cool part about this is that they can figure out very complex abstract problems because they have a more creatively intelligent mindset than other 3rd house placements. However, you probably did go through bullying during early elementary school or were made fun of for your intelligence because no one tried to understand you. I think ya’ll are so damn smart tbh.

1st House ruler in the 12th House: When the chart ruler is in the 12th house your identity is hidden from the public completely. Like, you find people talking over you all the time ugh. You also never get the recognition you deserve and people tend to ignore your presence. The quiet kid in the back of the class who randomly disappeared from school one day only for you to find him becoming a rich foreign investor probably has this placement LMAOO. I’m not even kidding though because the 12th house has to do with disappearances and foreign land overseas. So just saying..you could make MONEY. However when it has to do with your identity you just never felt heard or seen. You feel constantly overlooked and unappreciated. You’ve probably gotten ghosted a lot too (12th house rules over spirits). But I love you okay and that won’t change, I hope you felt seen here.

Herbalism 101: Lemon

EP. 7

Fun fact

Lemons are technically berries!

Properties : clarity, friendship, happiness, protection

Uses in the kitchen

Lemon is used for its tart flavor. It can be found in many desserts, pastries, and cocktails. They can also be used to clean or make a simmer pot, leaving your home smelling fresh.

Uses in healing

Lemon has been found to have anti microbial properties and is a great source of vitamin C. Some say that drinking lemon juice can get rid of hiccups as well!

Uses in witchcraft

If you work with the moon, leaving lemons or parts of lemons on your altar to honor the moon is a great use. I often use the dried peels, dehydrated in the oven, in spell jars and charm bags. Another common use for lemon is in protective work. Things like a cleansing bath, a protective jar etc. are great uses for lemon.

Tips for growing at home

Lemons are not particularly difficult to grow, however if you live in a place with a harsh winter, chances are it will not thrive. Don't forget, lemon trees will take around two years to bear fruit, so be patient! Finally, you can grow these trees in a pot indoors, but they will need full sun.

Recipe

This is technically a repeat of an old recipe I have posted before, but I am changing out lavender for lemon because I make these all the time and they are a crowd pleaser.

Lemon shortbread cookies

4 cups flour

1 cup powdered sugar

1lb salted butter

2 drops lemon extract

Lemon zest for the looks

Combine the ingredients with the butter still a bit chilled. You can make little balls or roll it out to cut out shapes, you may need a little extra flour for this. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.

Low Energy/Effort Witchcraft

Are you perpetually busy? Never have any spoons? This might be the post for you. Note that not everything here may be considered low energy or low effort to everyone, and that's okay :)

Carry a crystal around based on what you need. I have a black tourmaline bracelet that absorbs negative vibes throughout the day. I stick it on a selenite slab when I get home to cleanse overnight, then rinse and repeat in the morning.

Put a bay leaf in your wallet to attract money. If you have time, draw a sigil or a $/£/€ on it.

Dedicate anything you drink to your deities if you have any. I dedicate water and black tea to everyone and my favourite raspberry tea to Hathor. Coffee is for Caim.

Enchant your pill case so you remember to take them on time. Enchant your pills to work efficiently. ("Anxiety begone. Ye be banished" on all of my anxiety pills ✌️)

Draw a sigil on your body wash bottle to remove bad vibes or carve a sigil in a bar of soap.

Enchant your moisturizer to repel the evil eye. I fucking love this one.

Incorporate colour magic into the socks you wear (Goths who wear hot pink socks, I'm looking at you).

Enchant your charger so it doesn't break and so you don't lose it. Enchant your phone too while you're at it.

Sorry, I love enchantments--

Uhhhhh

Match those big ol jar candles to different intentions. Burn a cedar candle to cleanse/banish. Burn a cinnamon candle to draw in prosperity. Burn a citrus candle to uplift mood. This one is fantastic for broom closet witches.

Got a humidifier? Fill it up with moon water. You're welcome ;D

Politely ask the spirits of your plants to ward your space. Feed two birds with one scone this way.

Witchy social media. Scrolling on Tumblr and learning something new about witchcraft counts as witchcraft imo. Saving tarot spreads from Instagram for later counts too. Making Pinterest boards for literally anything also counts.

Keep a digital grimoire if doing it on paper costs too many spoons. I have used Google docs & drive in the past but I currently use Notion (You can copy and paste this way!)

If you still want a physical grimoire, print your stuff out and stick it in a binder or glue it in your journal. Boom. Physical grimoire

Listen to witchcraft related videos in the background while you do other tasks or chores in your home

Preparing a meal? Toss in spices that correspond with good health and drawing in positivity, or any other intention you have

Enchant your glasses to help you focus and "read between the lines" or see what wants to remain hidden (this one is a lifesaver at my job)

Keep my name outta

yo f***ing mouth jar 👄🫙

How to:

🖤💋🖤💋🖤💋🖤

You need 1 small jar (like a baby food jar) or glass vial/container with cork or a top, and another larger jar you can seal it in, with room around it to add herbs.

In the small jar make a name paper with your name (full name) and any nicknames, business names etc. Then add a petition that says "For Every time you speak ill over me, my life becomes more beautiful and my wealth grows, while your life becomes more unbearable, and your wealth and health fade." Sign the petition with your full name.

Fill the small jar with those papers, lavender, basil, sage, cloves, rosemary and patchouli. Optionally, you can add small sized Quartz stones. Then seal that jar well. If the jar is corked, seal with wax.

Place it in the large jar and fill the rest of the large jar with any of the following: salt, peppercorns, chilis, chili powder, red peppers, nightshade, belladonna, pokeroot, garlic, hotfoot powder, tobacco, small rusted nails, small mirror shards, dead bugs, spider webs, cloves, poppy seeds, small sticker burrs, cat claws- once you've added what you like, top it with more salt, chili powder and your baneful herbs (you want most of the smaller vessel covered) then twist that jar top tight. Seal as you desire.

Lastly, place intent into the jar- you can do this by burning a tealight candle over it and focusing on your intended outcome, or similarly by burning a separate petition or sigil you create on top and scattering the ashes to the wind.

You may bury this jar or keep it hidden somewhere close to you as it does its task.

My favorite simple wards to guard the home

Hanging rosemary above the doorstep, and/or above doors of the house for protection.

Sprinkling a line of dried red pepper on a windowsill, to counter a curse.

Placing a mix of dried & ground eggshells and black pepper in every corner of a room to keep out unwanted spirits.

Placing a decoration representing a witch in the kitchen, to keep away illness and to favor health.

Crafting an effigie (no matter how crude!) and make it into the guardian of your home by charging it with your intent of protection and placing it near the front door.

Crafting small witch ladders to hang around the house.
