Kimetsu no Yaiba + astrology Part I

I believe I’ve mentioned astrology as one of my hobbies, yes? so here’s a masterpost on kamaboko squad + the pillars and their sun signs, what they mean, and some additional information on astrology for those who aren’t familiar with the concept! 

For this first post, I will be focusing on the first six signs of the zodiac, aries - virgo. With that in mind, here we go!

Aries

March 22 - April 21

planetary ruler: mars

element: fire

mode: cardinal

symbol: the ram

strengths: brave, assertive, innocent

weaknesses: impulsive, domineering, aggressive

Unfortunately, there are no aries suns among the characters with confirmed birthdates, but I couldn’t let aries people get jipped on this post. Personally, I headcanon Sabito as an aries! Aries people tend to be athletic and valiant, much like him. They are fun and outgoing, but are often harsh with their words and are EXTREMELY stubborn. Like Sabito, aries can be childishly idealistic and this can get them in trouble. 

Sabito’s other placements: personally I think Sabito is a virgo mars. Virgo mars has very intense conviction, and when they decide to do something it will get done. They are strict but well-meaning teachers and like to help others. 

Taurus

planetary ruler: venus

April 22 - May 21

element: earth

mode: fixed

symbol: the bull

strengths: grounded, sensual, empathic

weaknesses: pleasure-seeking, STUBBORN, lavish

Inosuke (April 22)

Inosuke is the absolute picture of a taurus stereotype (no surprises here, Gotouge is a taurus so and I assume they know their stuff, lol). Most notably, taurus people are very in tune with their senses. Inosuke is so in tune with his that he can tell when he’s being watched without even turning around. Despite his ridiculous pig headedness (nice joke there Gotouge), Inosuke is actually quite attuned to the feelings of those around him once he gets used to being with humans–for example, he was able to guess that Shinobu had died simply by looking at Kanao’s face.

Inosuke’s other placements: I very much see Inosuke as an aries moon. Aries moon people handle their emotions impulsively and with intensity. They are hot-blooded individuals who are known for being blunt and quite often bite off more than they can chew.

Gemini

planetary ruler: mercury

May 22 - June 21

element: air

mode: mutable

symbol: the twins

strengths: clever, sociable, multitalented

weaknesses: “two-faced,” mischievous, condescending

Mitsuri (June 1)

At first, I was confused as to why Gotouge went with gemini for Mitsuri. However I soon realized that Mitsuri is specifically a second decan gemini. Each sun sign is split into three different “decans,” each of which supposedly represent different things. Second decan gemini women are obsessed with romantic love. Like a typical gemini, they are intelligent and sociable people who can be comfortable in any environment with any people; however, being ruled by the planet of love and beauty venus along with gemini’s clever mercury, they tend to be much softer and less calculating.

Mitsuri’s other placements: one of my favorite astrology headcanons is that Mitsuri is a libra moon (as a lunar libra myself, this is probably the Mitsuri kinnie in me talking). Libra moons are hopeless romantic daydreamers who, like Mitsuri, long for harmony in their environment and for everyone to get along. They are sweet and delicate, though their emotions can be explosive. 

Cancer

planetary rulership: moon

June 22 - July 21

element: water

mode: cardinal

symbol: the crab

strengths: sensitive, loving, friendly

weaknesses: sensitive, conflict averse, loves revenge

Tanjiro (July 14)

Literally of COURSE our beautiful boy is a cancer! Cancers are known for being extremely sensitive and empathic to the point where it effects their everyday life greatly. They love the comforts of home and their own little world. Like Tanjiro, cancers are sweet crybabies who will do anything for their friends. However, they can also be extremely emotionally volatile, much like Tanjiro when Rui suggests he will take Nezuko away. While they are intense empaths, sometimes they are so wrapped up in their own feelings that they forget about that of others. Unfortunately, cancers may forgive but they will never forget. Tanjiro is a forgiving individual, but we constantly see that he will not rest until Muzan is six feet under (not that said uglie man doesn’t deserve it, but still). They can also be rather passive-aggressive, and often deal with conflict while smiling to hide that they are seething. 

Tanjiro’s other placements: Because mercury follows the sun, mercury signs are often the same as an individual’s sun sign. That said, I think of Tanjiro as a cancer mercury. Cancer mercurys are kind and open, and give off the vibe that you can tell them anything. However, they are also HUGE crybabies.

Leo

planetary ruler: sun

July 22 - August 21

element: fire

mode: fixed

symbol: the lion

strenghts: creative, popular, well-rounded

weaknesses: proud, harsh, dramatic

Muichiro (August 8)

I’ll be honest, I expected Mui to be a pisces–but once his memories came back, it was very clear he was a leo. Leos are outgoing, goofy, and full of love! they are ruled by the sun (Mui’s tie to breath of sun, anyone?), which makes them bright, passionate individuals. However, they are ridiculously proud and sometimes forget that the world doesn’t revolve around them. They are also MASSIVE drama queens, and like Muichiro they will cry at the drop of a hat. Like many leos, Muichiro tends to be in his own world most of the time and often forgets about other peoples’ feelings–for example, the scene with the training dummy in which Kotetsu and Tanjiro note that he seems rude and aloof. Leos are also stereotyped as being mean and aggressive, which we absolutely see in Muichiro when he dislikes someone. When he does like someone though, he’s a little ball of love and sunshine! Leos tend to be insecure as well despite their pride (in fact, their pride stems from insecurity). This is more prominent in Muichiro when he is younger, in his interactions with his brother. 

Muichiro’s other placements: Muichiro strikes me as a pisces moon. Pisces moon people are daydreamy and sensitive, often acting as emotional sponges and feeling overwhelmed by emotions. Pisces people tend to have trouble admitting their own flaws, and cannot take the idea of failure (”I have to do something before I die!”)

Virgo

Planetary ruler: mercury

August 22 - September 21

element: earth

mode: mutable

symbol: the virgin

strengths: aims to please, organized, intense

weaknesses: obsessive, anxious, blunt

Zenitsu (September 3) 

Zenitsu as a virgo is possibly the funniest, most accurate placement of them all (and I’m NOT talking about the cherry boy joke Gotouge slipped in there). For starters, virgos tend to be anxious on extreme levels. They are perfectionists, and refuse to be less than the best. Like Zenitsu, if they can only do one thing, they will hone that skill to perfection. Virgos can be obsessive and like to have control of their environment. When they don’t, they tend to freak out and try to take control–this can make them appear bossy! Virgos also tend to be people pleasers, and they can make the mistake of putting their own happiness on the back burner for someone who is only taking advantage of them. Their dedicated nature often gets them in trouble and leaves them empty, much like Zenitsu’s experience with lack of friends and romantic companionship–he’s desperate to be liked, and gets kicked while he’s down because of it. Virgos tend to be very intelligent because of their mercury rulership,  and they can be very blunt and condescending when they think someone is being stupid (see: his relationship with Inosuke in particular). They are practical and determined.

Zenitsu’s other placements: Zenitsu is a leo moon to boot. Leo moons handle their emotions in a dramatic and–dare I say it–flamboyant nature. They display an interesting mix of pride and insecurity, and need validation constantly because of it. Their emotions are like a forest fire, and people sometimes find them hard to handle because of that intensity.

Obanai (September 15)

Obanai is a much harsher depiction of virgo than Zenitsu, in my opinion. He is brutally honest, and tends to be more rational than emotional. That is not to say he is devoid of softness; he is very loving and dedicated to Mitsuri. Within said relationship, it is clear that he shows his affection through small yet caring gestures, like when he gave her those socks. Like any virgo, his anger is a force to be reckoned with. While he typically appears collected and operates logically, he becomes quite scary when enraged. Despite their usual initial low-key appearance, virgos are passionate individuals, and when what they love is threatened, they react much like Obanai when someone gross (in his opinion) breathes in Mitsuri’s direction.

Obanai’s other placements: I think of Obanai as a scorpio venus. People with venus in scorpio fall in love fast and hard, and they can be obsessive when it comes to their love interest–not that they are stalkers, they just love very intensely and with their entire being. In truth, when a scorpio venus loves you, they are near impossible to get rid of.

Does anyone know what to do

[spark-enchanter]

Weekly Dose of Salt

Table Salt: mined from underground deposits, very processed to remove minerals, added iodine, added anti-caking agents

A Processed, Altered Salt

Unlike with rock salts, minerals that could energetically affect your magic have been removed. However, iodine and anti-caking agents have been added. Iodine is an element needed by the thyroid, and something that our bodies cannot produce. Necessary for our diet (iodine deficiencies are an issue), and present in a lot of seafood, I do not currently know how iodine acts energetically. I do plan on pursuing finding out at some point.

The anti-caking agents do just what they say, they prevent the table salt from clumping and caking, creating a lovely pouring experience during use. I am also unaware of their properties, but have no current inclination to find out.

Due to these things, table salt is not my preferred salt to use in magic. As far as I am aware, other salts are just as accessible when shopping, so I don't use it in my life. If you find yourself only able to obtain table salt, or only have table salt on hand, it will still do the trick of negating psychic energies. Table salt is not ideal for detail oriented craft however.

(title: intro to javanese old gods)

disclaimer : there are little to none documentation of the traditions and religions of java pre-hinduism and buddhism, beyond general mentions of animism. so these will, unfortunately, be heavily based on my personal experiences and knowledge passed orally. i will try to keep everything unbiased and as is. my experience is limited to java–particularly west and middle java–and the several trips i made to bali. therefore i will only focus on javanese based old gods and won't touch anything beyond that. i made this also with the purpose of documenting the unrecorded gods of java. my apologies if you find anything lacking. now, let's get to it.

old gods are forgotten gods that are as old as the lands they reside in. incarnations (? representation works too) of a forest or a mountain or certain areas are included as an old god, but not all old gods are incarnations of the lands they're in. they are not ancestors. they are not historical figures who died, even if they look like one. they are not spirits either. they were (and still technically are) deities. old gods are completely their own being.

they are once worshipped until early majapahit empire era. my estimation is around 1350s - 1400s when it completely stopped; though it probably started dwindling around 400 AD when hindu-buddhism first came in. worshipping then comes in animism form—which is why most old gods are representation/incarnation of lands or inanimate objects. they may also be recognised at that time as venerated "ancestor spirits", though they're not one.

some of them are part of a court (yes, royal court but for old gods). be it ancient forgotten courts or even the still worshipped courts (like the kidul court). some are on their own, or just courtless. there's usually a leader figure for each courts, and these leaders will have another leader that has a hand in all courts. this is less of power/ruling figure, and more of an authority figure to help ease communication between the old gods.

nowadays, they tend to reside in trees, mountains, riversides, caves, the sea, or in the woods. most of the time they become the guardian of that certain area they reside in. sometimes they left their main residence to wander—on this occasion, they may temporarily reside in old abandoned buildings. the closer they are to their main residence, the stronger they are. old gods are not fond of crowds—but they enjoy watching from afar.

they're forces of chaos and unpredictable–and neither good nor bad. they can be malevolent, but most of the time only as defense. they're very polite and mostly kept to themselves. the old gods are quiet and ancient; often times they're only looking over from afar or just checking in without wanting anything. often times they have morbid imageries—but they meant no harm. probably. they're too old to care to follow human concepts.

it's not recommended to sought them out or to try and make dealings with them.

quick guide on meeting old gods. don't interact, especially when you're not sure what you're doing. you don't even need to acknowledge them–they don't need supplication and have long gone without being worshipped. they're fine; you won't if you play into their bit.

what you should do when you suspect them near you is to be respectful and polite. more specifically:

don't turn your back against sacred trees/places

don't climb or sit on sacred objects

don't go to toilet outdoors (it's recommended to just find the closest toilet available. otherwise, find a clear secluded place and ask permission aloud before you go. don't go in a sacred place/area or near sacred objects. only do this as a last minute resort. if shit hits the fan, start praying)

don't tempt or tease them

don't invite/invoke them

don't say things like "i can stay here forever!", they'll take it as an invitation

don't interact with them, in general (unless you are clearly familiar with them. which if you're a tourist, you're not. so shut up.)

listen to the locals. be respectful

don't vandalise

don't litter

don't spit on the ground

i can't believe i have to say this, but don't have intercourse in sacred woods or areas

in the rare moments you saw them, say hi. nod your head. then don't acknowledge them anymore than that

don't talk about them in their presence. it's impolite

when unexplainable things start happening (such as smelling a sudden scent of jasmine or frangipani, or gamelan music starts playing without clear source) don't acknowledge it and continue with what you're doing

if you follow these simple steps, i guarantee you i would have less work to do as a local exorcist witch.

[upg disclaimer; based on personal experience as i worked with them] old gods are neither good nor bad. they're neutral chaotic forces, as they resemble the lands they reside in. unfortunately, some immoral dukun—witch doctors/shaman—have been enslaving trapping them in contracts for power reasons.

long story short: these dukun are people who learned magic, who are power hungry and greedy (yes they do exist, this is real and a legit practice in here). to be able to access power (magic) they usually work with questionable sources such as djinns. however, as djinns are too powerful and strong, most of the time these dukun would make dealings with local old gods. local old gods are a weaker power source than djinns, but easier to trap. do you see where this is going now? (note that there are also old gods that genuinely just work with these dukun to fuck them up. either way; not great)

the circumstances made the old gods more volatile and prone to aggression. as they want to avoid being tricked or manipulated into a trap, they're sensitive to any changes. you can easily offend them if you don't know what you're doing—which is why it's not encouraged to interact with them. [upg ends]

interacting with old gods can have the tendency to go from 0 to 100 quickly; on one moment they're calm and gentle, then by the next second a large snake maw is hovering by your head.

you can't worship or make dealings with the old gods when they don't explicitly ask that from you. sudden worshipping won't flatter them—it'll make them suspicious at best and immediately aggressive at worst. don't bother them and they won't bother you.

if you wish to, at least, acknowledge the local old gods or if you have reasons to believe they're trying to reach out to you; what you should do first is to set up protection wards. then you may try to communicate, interact, and give offerings—with no strings attached—to the old gods. be honest with your intentions and don't be pushy. double check everything and always check "mundane before magic".

i don't recommend trying to do this for baby witches or witches who had never dip into local magic. i don't recommend foreigners to attempt to interact with the old gods at all. mind you, i have experience with them and they knew me after years of constant exposure. i will repeat that old gods have long gone without worship—they won't ask for things willynilly. be careful of imposters. interact with caution and strong wards. don't be easily swayed, don't be scared, be respectful, and stand your ground. you have been warned.

offerings that i found they'll accept:

sweet tea

black coffee (instant coffee works, some brands are Kopi ABC and Kapal Api *not spons. sometimes they want sugar in it, sometimes they don't)

gorengan (fried street food, usually are; deep fried bananas, vegetable fritters, or fried tofus)—west javanese old gods are particularly fond of these

pinecones

cinnamon sticks

wedang jahe

jamu

river rocks and driftwood

wooden beads

tea leaves

frangipani flower

jasmine flower

queen of the night flower (wijaya kusuma)

tuberoses (bunga sedap malam)

smooth blue river pebbles

seashells and sea salt if they're from kidul (southern) area/court, or areas near the sea

playing gamelan songs—middle and east javanese old gods are especially fond of gamelan keraton songs

you give the offerings by leaving them at places where an old god might reside (or where you think an old god is residing in). usually under trees, at the open mouth of caves, or by tossing them in rivers or the sea. make sure you're not littering, and that all of the equipments used for the offerings are organic and compostable.

note that sometimes the offerings won't just be taken by the old gods but also other entities. they don't mind this. you don't need to worry about this either, as i reiterate—old gods don't need offerings nor worship. only give them offerings with no strings attached.

on some cases, you may share the offerings with the old gods. if you have their permission, you might be allowed to consume the offerings with them to dispose of it. you can also just leave the offerings around your house, if old gods happen to pass inside your house often (like my case).

tldr; interact with old gods as you may, but please do so with strong caution. be respectful and courageous; be steadfast yet polite. i have no means of fear-mongering (my apologies if i accidentally did so), but warnings are there for a reason. do no harm.

best of luck for your journey 🌾🌜🍃🌞

Solar return chart notes🌤

Solar return chart - a chart that will describe your year from your birthday till the next one. You can create it on astrology chart websites, I prefer Astro.com.

Notes are based on my experiences and opinions. The whole chart matters.

☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️☁️☀️

Sun in the 12th house can indicate spiritual awareness. Especially if it aspects (sextile, trine) Neptune.

Year when I started to learn astrology on a more serious level - Sun (year’s focus) in 12th house (spirituality) in 9 degrees (beliefs, education).

Sun-Apollo aspects in this chart can indicate finding new talent which might bring success and money.

Jupiter-Rising challenging aspects can indicate gaining weight easily, also, aspects with the moon (but check other placements)

Venus in the 11th house can attract new friends this year. Especially online friends.

Uranus in the 1st house can indicate changing your looks (hair color, maybe tattoos, etc)

Pluto conjunct DC - massive changes with romantic or business partners. Might indicate an ending of the relationship.

Neptune in this chart will show what you mostly will be confused about this year.

People with a lot of Mercury squares or oppositions, this year might get bad-mouthed more often than other years.

Sagittarius in the 10th house can indicate having a new career path OR maybe a different working place

Leo in the 10th house can indicate receiving popularity in career.

Jupiter show where you will receive success this year: in 10th house - success with career, in 9th house - success with studies, travel.

Great placements for children in this chart - Venus/Moon/Jupiter in 5th house, Cancer in 5 the house, Ceres in Cancer/5th house.

Great placements for a wedding in this chart - Jupiter/Juno in 7th house, Libra/Taurus/Venus in 7th house. Asteroid Boda in aspect (sextile, trine) to the Saturn and Venus.

2nd house = how will you handle finances this year, on what you will spend the most money on. Uranus 1st degree - technology, maybe some workout equipment.

North node will show what challenges are waiting for you this year.

I believe that the south node can describe what we have learned from the previous year and what do we need to remember.

Your Mars placement will show you what you are the most passionate about this year.

Also, your sun house placement will show you where are you gonna “shine” the most this year. Sun in 3rd house - communication, writing, languages, logic.

People with a lot of squares in the Solar return chart (usually 10 and more) can have a lot of self-challenges to handle this year.

(from experience) people with very well aspected Jupiter, especially with Venus, have a big chance of winning money from lotteries.

Sun opposite ascendant can be very secured/reserved that year (look at other placements)

Yes, Juno can give you a few hints about your romance, but it's not the only thing. Juno in the solar return chart can also show important business partnerships.

(from experience) I usually travel the most countries when I have Venus in the 9th house.

Having 6th house stellium can indicate a very hardworking and responsible year.

Capricorn stellium can indicate having a very strong goal for that year.

If you want to know about your year's aesthetic, always look at your Venus.

A very great time for getting a pet is when you have Saturn in the 6th house since it will make you more responsible.

5th house (passions, desires) + Capricorn (long-term goals) = this is a chance for a successful career involving your hobby or biggest passion. Turning a hobby into a career.

Pluto in the 1st house - massive changes in appearance.

Aphrodite or Venus in the 1st house - glow-up

Pluto will always show you, transformation in any chart and you shouldn't be scared of it.

2nd house - on what you are gonna spend most of your money this year?

(from experience) the year when I had an asteroid Singer in 5th house AND Leo, I was going to sooo many concerts and theatres.

If you are fire dominant on the solar return chart, then a busy year with a lot of adventures are coming for you.

If you are water dominant on the solar return chart, then more spiritual with a lot of self-awareness is coming for you.

9th house ruler in 9th - high chance of travel this year OR higher education will play a big role.

solar return observations

these are just personal observations 💖 and im not a professional astrologer :)

notes. this is my first time posting an astro observation <3 based on my experiences as well as my friends' and i'll be telling a ton of those stuff below just to make the points clearer + provide examples 🥰 don't take these too seriously <3

all placements observed are from the solar return chart on its own!

sun square moon indicates a busy, life-changing year, although it also indicates having tension at home, especially with mother or female/feminine figures in your family.

pluto in 1H: major transformation in self. could be on your appearance but i find it to be more about your personality and self-image.

uranus in 4H is commonly known for a home move, but i also wanted to emphasize here that it's sudden.

my best friend had 4H uranus the other year and one day she suddenly came to class n told me "hey i'm going to study abroad, i just decided yesterday" - it was super unexpected 😃

i wanted to go study abroad that year too but my parents didn't approve until some time the next year bam "i'm going to go study overseas" and guess what? i didn't have 4H uranus the year my friend went, but i had it when i did got to go.

i travelled a lot on years i have sun in 9H, both domestic and abroad.

sun in 9H AND uranus 4H would be a pretty strong indicator for traveling to another country to study in my opinion.

the best friend i mention had both these placements when she went studying abroad and i had both of these too the next year that i also went.

venus opposite uranus indicates a change in one's relationship status, like a break up. if you're single then there'll be chances of getting in a relationship.

i had this (10H venus opposing 4H uranus) the year that a lot of people liked me romantically, throughout the year and even at the same time. chose to stay single hehe but love interests was everywhere ✌️

venus in 1H and/or conjunct ascendant: glow up. and it's also emotionally loving yourself more for your appearance as it is 💖

2H stellium can mean spending a lot of money, since planets in 2H show what you'll be spending money on.

jupiter in 2H is spending money for knowledge and traveling. and i'd say that having this can also indicate spending lots of money because jupiter expands/grows everywhere it's at, plus traveling costs a lot of money.

i bought tons of books: mangas and nonfiction n fiction novels (i count manga as books sksjks still knowledge tho) and i travelled a lot that year too so i literally had a luggage full of books. i had more books than i have clothes skssj

pluto in 2H could have you spending money on things with dark/taboo themes.

i actually bought a tarot deck called occult tarot skskjd *screams pluto*

i had this in conjunct with jupiter and saturn in my 2H stellium. so with jupiter i noticed that the books i bought were all very dark themed: about death, horror, depression, etc. and one particular book called "a midnight library" was about the phase between life and death. it's fiction btw and it's really good, would totally recommend reading but tw. depression and suicide.

saturn in 2H is feeling the need to manage how u spend money, wanting to be more responsible in spending money.

i tried making a budget and track my spendings sjsbsj but it was so hard when jupiter wants to expand while saturn wants to limit 😭 i wanted to limit/stop myself from spending money but well xD mission failed hahah

but i remember wanting/trying to make money as well! 2H in capricorn and saturn in capricorn btw like selling old clothes or books i don't need or planning business ideas

uranus in 5H is having sudden and random burst of creativity, like getting ideas at a random time or place.

for example i got fluffy writing ideas from cockroaches 💀

venus square uranus could indicate not wanting to be in a relationship because you value your freedom, or wanting to be in a relationship but also wanting to be single.

neptune in 3H may like daydreaming or have vivid thoughts. it can also mean overthinking or being distracted/lost in thoughts.

3H neptune also shows the use of music and fantasies to express one's thoughts or act as a means for escape.

i started writing fanfic the year i had this hehe

i made lots of playlists too and paid attention to the lyrics more than i used to but also the melody/vibes

neptune in 6H may have a messed up sleeping schedule.

mine is sleeping at 6am and waking up at 6pm 💀 but i'm trying to fix this <3

sun opposite neptune is wanting to "bring yourself out there" one day then wanting to escape the next day.

saturn making many hard aspects may mean overworking or constantly feeling restless when you're not doing anything/making any progress.

planets that square mercury show what you think about a lot.

square pluto: taboo/dark subjects, occult, sex, death, rebirth, etc.

square jupiter: deeper learning, beliefs, higher education, philosophy, etc.

square saturn: fear, limitations, responsibilities, career, reputation, etc.

so having many mecury hard aspects can mean overthinking too.

moon in 11H could enjoy playing games, going on the internet, and hanging out with friends for comfort.

venus in 8H shows a year with lots of sexual activities, with self and/or others.

with sagittarius rising you'll be more curious, more engaging in fun activities, open-minded, outgoing, and philosophical. you may see things in a positive light as well.

i had one of the best year if my life with this. of course the rest of the chart matters but i just like how i am that year <3

libra risings will want to be diplomatic and fair in situatons which is wonderful but may have people pleasing tendency :(

capricorn risings approach things very calmly and mature.

cancer risings would listen to their hearts more than their mind. they can be moody and emotional more often.

moon conjunct neptune shows being very intuitive that year.

mc in virgo will have the tendency to make things more organized. could be more of a perfectionist too.

i am usually quite messy and lazy but the year i had this, i organized everything. from my photo album of 8k pics and vids, to my entire closet and room, and pinterest as well as my spotify playlist.

gemini dc will attract either geminis or people with gemini-like personalities - good at communicating, friendly, talkative, intellectual, quick-witted, and hilarious.

venus trine saturn is being more mature in relationships. is noticing red flags and able to stay away from toxic relationships.

♡ i'll stop here since it's pretty long now !! hope everyone enjoyed reading this <3

Astro observations #2 ✨

Venus signs and the way they show love

I really felt like making a post today, so here is my observations on how my friends show love, and their venus signs. Sorry if your venus sign isn’t in I don’t have too many friends 💀 I’m sure you’re still amazing though.

My observations, as a Cancer venus. Enjoy ❤️

———————————————————

Aries venus show it through checking up on you. Asking you how you are, engaging in conversation. They might not be big on gifts, but if they talk to you and ask you on your day, you know that you have a place in their heart.

I realised Aries venus enjoy talking to people they love as well, very friendly and loveable people. They might be more introverted as well, surprisingly. But when you get the “I miss you how have you been” messages from them, it makes you all warm & tingly.

Taurus venus might give small gifts. Snacks, notes maybe, they are very sweet and caring individuals. They like seeing those they love happy, these people have a very soft angel like appearance to them too.

Gemini venus like to talk to you. Or rather they LOVE talking and seeing you. Facetimes, seeing you and hanging out, they really enjoy interacting as a form of showing love. You can tell easily, they like to talk to people that they really care about.

Can any Gemini Venuses can vouch that if you are romantically interested to someone you’d get very attached or clingy? Just checking 💀

Cancer venuses will check tf up on you. Care about every single little detail, put you before themselves. Emotional investment, pure love for you, especially if theyre romantically in love with you. Or even not, they really love with their entire being.

Cancer Venuses have a very soft type of love for people, they truly believe in “Everyone has good in them”, but they might get crushed because of their very romantic and dream like personality/vision of others.

Leo venus they might not express it openly. but you will know if they love you, similar to Taurus, they will give you small snacks and stuff. They enjoy seeing you happy, thats for sure. Seeing you happy definitely makes them happy, they just want to love people around them, but can be afraid too sometimes.

Libra venus, they will spend time to listen to you. Not just normal "oh how you feelin'" but they will really sit and talk it out with you. Advice, hugs, listening to you cry, they'll be there for it all. One of the most loyal in my opinion.

Libra Venuses are extremely intelligent as well, especially regarding writing and stuff. They would love to help you out to study as well — very patient, also extremely funny people. They can light up a room with their presence alone.

Sag venus, these people are super joyful lol. they love everyone around them, from what i see. Anyways, and they will not hesistate to offer you help, love to spend time as well. They have a very deep hidden side, and if you see that side, thats how you know they love you very dearly. Vulnerability shows when they love you.

Thank you for reading till the end! Comment your Venus sign, let me know if this resonated with you, love. Drop any suggestions into my ask box for future posts, see you next time.

Sending love to you ❤️ x

What synastry aspects that make people possessive with each other?

Planets in the other person's 2nd or 8th House (Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars)

The 2nd House is more of a physical possession. A situation I can compare to this overlay is when Person A puts their arm around Person B or shows PDA just so other people know that Person B is taken. It can show relationships where you just prefer staying in each other's company (similar theme could be seen in relationships with planets in the 4th House). In the worst cases, you view them as an object, as your property.

The 8th House is definitely possession based on emotions - you don't want them getting close to anyone, bonding with anyone other than you, sharing their secrets with other people, experiencing intimacy with anyone other than you.

Sun/Moon/Venus (Moon and Venus especially) aspects to the other Person's Pluto

The Pluto person will want to have as much power as they can over the other person. In trines/sextiles and conjunctions they may be more protective over the other person. In squares and oppositions the other person may seek their independence while Pluto wants to have control over them, but won't be able to. it can bring some bad situations in the relationship.

Moon/Venus aspecting the other person's Mars

Mars want to be the protector, they want to lead the relationship and may be quite possessive when it comes to the other person. They can be primal so what is theirs is theirs. They will be possessive over the other person's love and vulnerability.

Juno aspecting the other person's Sun/Moon/Venus

While Juno represents the devoted partner, it can also represent the jealous and possessive partner. In trines/sextiles and conjunctions it can come off as being protective over the planet person. In squares and oppositions it can lead to serious problems with jealousy within the relationship. For example, with a Juno square Venus aspect the Venus person may be flirtatious on purpose, just to seek a reaction from Juno, to annoy them.

t’s astro observations! (pt. 2🪁)

hi everyone! just a friendly reminder from my last post, im aware that some of these may be inaccurate or may not resonate with everyone. aspects, house placement, and development all play a role, which i’m very aware of. hope you enjoy! :)

taurus, libra, cancer placements may really like purchasing pajamas or more loose clothing. i have placements in these signs and my closet has so much pj’s lol, so i’m assuming its due to their influence

jupiter conjuct moon or mars opposite moon can indicate being against drugs

^^i met 2 ppl who had both these aspects and they absolutely resented drug use. however, they were fine with alcohol.

i haven’t had any super personal relationships with aquarius placements, but you guys are honestly really chill and nice to talk to

capricorn moons are actually really sweet, not the most emotional but they know how to be kind. they make great friends i love them

virgo placements may really be into the metaphysical. like crystals, tarot, witchcraft, etc. but they can also be skeptical and against all of it, just depends on the person honestly.

virgo placements in the 12th house are extremely good at hiding the fact that they are hard on themselves. its insane. like you’d think that they don’t beat themselves up and critique themselves 24/7 but they do. A LOT.

south node in 6th house can indicate being attacked or bitten by animals multiple times as a child

scorpio moons are not “more stereotypical scorpio” if anything i find scorpio risings to be more of the mysterious stereotype. scorpio moons actually have great social skills.

pisces placements are usually pretty funny

underdeveloped first house stelliums can be overwhelming to be around. they can say come off as pushy and annoying.

taurus mars are stereotyped as slow and calm but no they definitely have the ability to get extremely irritated, annoyed and it can explode. i’ve noticed it turns into ranting or complete silence/silent treatment.

cancer risings tend to have bright skin. they may have tan or darker skin but there’s always this light to it. like how the moon reflects sunlight, they do too.

prominent 3rd house placements may indicate being into cars, skating, bmx bikes, etc. or it honestly just piques your interest.

i think every earth (Capricorn, taurus, virgo) rising has a prominent nose, whether its big, small, hooked, upturned, downturned, etc. their noses tend to be very noticeable, a memorable feature.

fixed dominants = won’t listen, if anything does the opposite for fun or just to see what happens. this leads to feeling stuck or regretful at times.(speaking from experience)

cardinal dominants can be the most confident people out. once they grow out of any insecurities, they shine super bright. the cardinal doms in my life have always told me they’re the sh*t. and they’re not wrong!

mutable dominants are usually so fun to be around. when developed, these people have great and healthy relationships and can brighten up anyones day due to being humorous AF lol. when underdeveloped they can be flighty, flakey, and unreliable, which leads to extremely temporary relationships.

another thing i’ve noticed about mutables is that they always have unfinished business with ppl. lack of closure on certain situations, so this leads to having tension with old friends, exes, or anybody really.

i’ve heard multiple leo moons say “everyone is so ignorant and immature🙄🤬” as if they aren’t just as ignorant and immature LOL also they tend to avoid calling themselves out on their own BS

libra placements tend to be so naturally attractive its insane. mostly physically in my experience, but when i have conversations with them they tend to be really nice conversations. its the charm everyone says they have LOL its true!

aries moons may have faced a lot of violence growing up, or just witnessed lots of violence. the mother may have been easily irritated and angered by them as well. she was most likely not responsible when it came to the aries moon child.

okay i think i’m done here for this post! thanks for reading! i’ll be posting more in the future, i’m hoping to expand onto posting about more than just observations. bye byeeeee

how to attract your luck? (jupiter in the signs)

you know that feeling where things just work out for you? it's like you reach the traffic light and it immediately goes green as if it was just waiting for you or you meet randomly a an acquaintance that makes you a job offer you've been needing desperately or your bus has some problem and you get off and can't get to your meeting in time but instead find on your way there something you've been looking for your entire life. i guess this is what we call luck.

sure, hard work and effort is important, but without some luck to put us in that frequency of abundance we ain't getting anywhere. the question is: can we control the luck? is it totally random? is their some way to call it forth and stop being in a ditch? i think working with our jupiter sign and aligning with its energy really help us feel "blessed" and enter that area of abundancy.

jupiter in aries - don't overthink things. change happens for you when you stop planning too much and trying to predict every situation ever. believe that sometimes it's just that easy. don't be afraid to act on short notice. start things - write that message you've been wondering about, drop that major that's been suffocating you and dive into that different thing that is drawing you in. fortune favors the bold is really true for these natives. warning: yo...i mean.... don't do crazy reckless shit tho, like keep that common sense intact too. your luck is found in direct action.

jupiter in taurus - allow your body to guide you and work on your flowing connection with it. acknowledge in what situations you feel physically good and bad. probably have a strong gut feeling about what is aligned with your values. trust it. you know what's going to happen. include other people in the things you're doing. this is important for everyone but you in particular should pay attention that you eat healthy, esp home cooked meals, and to avoid mind altering substances as they numb the type of intuition you have. and when it's numbed, you can't know which opportunities are lucky for you. spend a week or so eating good health food and being mindful about your body and watch things begining to happen for you. warning: staying loyal to your bad habits isn't a core part of your identity, it doesn't make you who you are. you can listen to your body and be healthy and still feed your spirit too. your luck is found in nourishment.

jupiter in gemini - talk about it with someone and ask for alternative points of view. try them out, a new perspective might be really refreshing and point you in a direction which brings you luck. let your thoughts be scattered for awhile but make sure to slow down the pace and contemplate what you've learned so far at the end of the day. stop asking questions without reaching any conclusion. doing personality quizes may prove to be quite helpful for you and show you smth you're missing to align with your path. be more adaptive. warning: be careful to not bury your innate curiosity and playful desire for exploration be buried under consuming information obsessively. your luck is found in flexibility.

jupiter in cancer - I'm literally begging you to listen to your intuition. it's really really good. don't ignore those gut feelings even if you're afraid they might prove to be true. tell yourself that yes, sometimes it's this deep, and allow yourself to find metaphors and connections between things. this brings you clarity and an abundance of opportunities and helps you align with your values better. spend time with your family if you're on good terms with them and allow vulnerability between you. warning: make sure on which side of the thin line between intuition and paranoia you're walking. you tend to isolate yourself spiritually from experiences that take you out of your comfort zone. sometimes that's good, sometimes...not really. your luck is found in intuition.

jupiter in leo - surround yourself with ppl you care about and ppl that excite you. flirt with someone a bit. do something creative that you don't expect to profit from, just to exercise your passion. show off in some way, make people see your confidence. warning: don't get caught in the loop of trying to appear a certain way without actually being that way. that won't draw in good luck for you, but opportunities that drain your energy. your luck is found in being 100% authentic.

jupiter in virgo - don't close yourself off or burden yourself with everything cuz you think you know best. give people genuine compliments. give yourself genuine compliments and congratulate yourself for the good work. take it easy - understand that mistakes are only an opportunity to learn better, and keep that attitude if you wanna see yourself flourish. warning: srsly tho there might be a tendency to be too harsh, relax that inner critical parent, tell them it's time to retire. your luck is found in kindness to yourself and others.

jupiter in libra - include a close person or someone you vibe with in your endeavors but don't fall into leader-follower dynamic. try to be partners, not leader and follower. make a decision that benefits everyone involved in some situation, being considerate is your strength. ask people for recommendations. if you're looking for a jov, new place to live in or smth likw that - ask the people close to you, don't be quick to throw yourself out into the unknown. do what feels right - luck is on your side when justice empowers your actions. warning: don't let being considerate to make you put yourself last or to enable abusive or harmful situations. you matter, fairness matters too. your luck is found in justice and consideration.

jupiter in scorpio - look beneath the surface. don't be satisfied with a surface look in the area where you want to get lucky. the more you dig into it, the better. do a lot of research on the things that you want to attract in your life. put your passion into what you do - if you're not interested in it with your heart and soul, luck will rarely be on your side. reminds me of a friend who was studying programming and it was super dry and included a lot of unnecessary math. he kept getting obstacles in his way, like the bus will break down om his way to an important exam, a teacher will randomly start hating on him, etc. and when he moved to a place where the coding languages he learned made him interested in developing shit, this totally changed and opportunities started working out in his favor. don't be afraid to change whenever it feels necessary. warning: try to not get addicted to stirring things up. new beginnings tend to bring you good fortune so you might start dropping the old ones just to get the rush of the new. make sure you're not running away from something it's better to face. also learn the difference between passion and obsession - one replenishes your energy, the other drains it. your luck is found in passion.

jupiter in sagittarius - take a trip to somewhere. seriously changing locations, even if it's brief, marks a huge energy shift for you. show someone how to do a thing you're good at. have a debate with someone and allow your opinion to be changed - or more like to have your horizon expanded. try to complain about things less - focus for a few days on what you grateful for and what you appreciate in your life, and see how that makes you feel. try to see things from a more distant perspective, to grasp in the bigger picture. follow your spontaneous ideas. warning: take care when you're being spontaneous. being impulsive doesn't mean you can't be considerate of yourself and others. try to not get lost in the chaos. your luck is found in change.

jupiter in capricorn - rest. I'm not kidding. just stop for a second and take a break. don't put too much on your plate, priding yourself on how you can manage it all. take it one step at a time. have a plan but include resting and having time for spontaneous things in it. spend time with your family if you're on good terms with them or with someone who feels like family. keep a practical goal in mind. know when to apply your boundaries and to stop putting your energy into things. practice saying no to things that bother you. warning: it may feel as if everything requires a lot of hard work you. don't let setbacks get to you, have a little faith that the universe has got your back. your luck is found in balance and taking things one step at a time.

jupiter in aquarius - involve your friends in what you're doing, be it through sharing about it or doing it together. work on having a detailed vision about what you want. daydreaming about things actually draws in your luck. learn about how what you want is interconnected with other things and pay attention to patterns, this may bring a lot of opportunities your way. take some space when you feel like it. change your usual routine. if you feel the spur to say or do something random, follow it (as long as it's not harmful ofc). warning: you may be prone to being overly distant from what you're doing and to not really feel it in your heart when things are working out for you. don't access your successes only through your mind, but also through the heart. your luck is found into seeing how it all works together.

jupiter in pisces - don't overthink it. take it slow, rushing yourself leads you nowhere you wanna be. listen to your dreams and intuition. if you're in tune with your intuition, you will be ready to accept the gifts of the divine timing without despairing or losing patience. meditate consistently - take your time to do it every day, if possible. offer help and ask for help. open yourself to inspiration, seek it out actively. you have to notice what brings the spark. warning: don't confuse tuning in with the rhythm of the universe and waiting passively for anything to happen. there is a difference and i know you can feel it. when you don't close yourself to the world, abundance comes. your luck is found in inner peace and acceptance.

Jupiter in Capricorn here and I had a little crisis last Thursday because I had nothing to do 🥲 nowhere to go, no one to meet, no work to do! But then I thought about all the things I would do on the following days and was suddenly grateful for having a rest day 😂

I had gotten this deck a while ago but never really sat and worked with. I just never connected until last night when I finally did a deck interview and now I absolutely love it.

So here goes, Deck Interview:

The Antique Anatomy Tarot, by Claire Goodchild

Essence: The moon reversed. This is the deck for me to use if I can’t discern between intuition or anxiety.

Reason for this deck: The page of elixirs (cups). Which is so funny and cute to me. The reason of this deck is to give me guidance when I have a new crush.

How will working work this deck challenge me: The knight of elixirs. I have a habit of just getting swept up and having these passionate flings in love and sometimes I know they are wrong for me, that they will hurt me, that fighting isn’t love. I never want to admit that to myself though and this deck is going to challenge me to both identify these people and challenge me to stay true to my boundaries.

How will working with this deck help me: The Devil reversed. Which is just absolutely wonderful. This deck is going to help me break free of my bad behaviors, bad patterns, bad relationships.

The relationship I will gain from this deck: The king of elixirs. So this is just like relationship deck. This kind of seals the deal, this is the relationship deck. This deck is going to guide me to the person I need to be to find the person I am not just going to love, but love and commit in the way that is what I need.

So I love this. I’m going to use this a lot for romantic relationships. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it came into my life after I just recently decided that I’m ready for a partner and start a family. I feel like working with this deck will both help determine who is worthy of my commitment as well as helping me be a more active and caring partner.

I love it

Never abandon 8th house native when they were asking a help. Because when the wheel does the moving, you'll be the one who asking the 8th house person a help.

Sun, Moon, Venus and North Node in 8th house are likely to help you even you once refused to help them. But they will make sure that you understand how powerful they are by the act of helping you. They would make you feel small and vulnerable by intimidating you through power.

Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn 8th House are likely to watch you drown and die to make you understand how it's like to be alone in a critical moment without any help. They wouldn't let you see their power even if they could simply because you are not worth for it.

Be kind.

[astroismypassion]

Oh my god, this is so well explained! Exactly, like when you don't help, karma will get you. It's 8th house, babyy!

On the topic of grimoires...

The last several times I have tried to structure one and stick to it, my biggest roadblock is not knowing my own craft well enough to know what I want to include.

I have been practicing for 8, almost 9 years. But where I started is so different from where I am now. Once upon a time, I dabbled in Wicca, chaos magic, paganism... and I know a little bit about a lot (and a fair bit about those three topics i suppose).

I resonate with sympathetic magic. At least, I think I do. And animism I think. I need to learn about different ways magic is structured and believed in.

Clearly, at least for me, this part of my study is important to write down. But I always wanted to have it figured out first, and write down what I found later.

I dont think that's going to work for me. Instead, why don't I write down what I want to know about, and as I learn about it, write my thoughts on it?

I have books in my collection. How about I annotate them and research what they have to say, as I read them? I think my thoughts, as I think them, are going to be important to this whole journey.
