Death to Your Old Self

I recently started working with Hades and he’s having me research herb work and death magic. By death magic I don’t mean casting death upon someone. Death magic is simply using the energy of death in spells.

For instance, I held a mini funeral for my Old Self and Old Beliefs to help me transform into a better version of myself. I wrote a little eulogy about my Old Self and I wrapped up an item from my childhood in a cloth and disposed of it in the trash (I would have buried it, but I am unable to do that so I did what I could). Before I “buried” the item from my childhood, I spoke the eulogy to myself out loud.

The intention behind this spell/ritual is to bury the aspects of yourself that you wish to get rid of, helping you to arise as a more empowered being.

planets in the 6th house & productivity (part 2)

jupiter in the 6th house

it is very easy for this placement to take on big responsibilities & tasks without feeling overwhelmed. they may procrastinate though with their optimistic mindset towards "always having time". but even if they have to do something last minute, they'll get it done without much stress.

saturn in the 6th house

these individuals can be super serious about how productive they are. sometimes they even feel like they are just slaves to this world, and feel as if they get nothing in return. everything has to be perfect for them, being productive feels more difficult than it needs to be.

uranus in the 6th house

this placement feels anxious around being productive because they yearn to break free from everyday activities & routines. they dislike having a set routine daily and prefer to switch things up often. they are pretty unique about their routine.

neptune in the 6th house

these people are absolutely unconditional when it comes to being productive for OTHER people rather than themselves. they are used to not receiving anything, but so used to being the receiver. they get burnt out from trying to prove themselves constantly.

planets in the 6H and how they influence your routine

the 6H in astrology represents healing- physically and mentally. a part of our mental health is dependent on our routine and structure in our day-to-day lives. we can look to the 6H and what’s in it to help determine the best type of routine we should be following to support us:

Sun in the 6H: routine is where you excel! Sun in the 6H people are usually very organized and tidy in their mind, and in turn in their routine. you might not realize that a lot of your self worth can rely on your ability to be productive. having an efficient, structured routine and greatly boost your confidence in yourself and give you a healthy amount of control. it’s easy for Sun in the 6H natives to get burned out in their routine, so finding one that doesn’t require any over-exertion but is still efficient for you is important. it’s also important not to be hard on yourself when you can’t keep up with it like when you’re sick or just some rest days; we are not made to be productive 24/7 :) you might do well with a monthly based routine, and a good day for you to be productive is Sunday.

Moon in the 6H: how easy your routine comes to you will be a little more dependent on what sign the Moon falls in. your natal Moon sign will be a huge part of it, but also what sign the Moon is traveling in. the Moon changes signs every 2-3 days, and knowing these changes and planning accordingly will help you tremendously in your routine. your mood is a direct effect of your productivity. for example, if you try to “go with the flow” and go through your day with no plans while the Moon is in Capricorn, you might notice your attitude will suffer because of it. this doesn’t mean you have to be go go go all the time, it just means you should be mindful of your routine and efficiency and remember that even checking one or two tasks a day can mean a lot. a good day for you to take care of things is Monday.

Mercury in the 6H: planning planning planning. i literally just imagine planners and sticky notes everywhere. you are extremely organized and love to know every little part of your day. you are the person who looks up the menu before you go to a restaurant so you know exactly what to expect and to maximize time efficiency in trying to pick out something to eat. any organized routine will be very beneficial for you, but it’s important for you to be mentally stimulated. if your mind goes by on these tasks unchallenged, you very well could become bored and then burned out from the mindlessness. it’s also important to note that any unexpected changes in your routine can cause nervousness or stress, so finding a healthy way to handle what life throws at you is important or your mental health can suffer. a good day for you to handle things is Wednesday.

Venus in the 6H: no matter what your preferred routine is, you do it beautifully! the best way for you to get through your day is to romanticize it with the prettiest planner filled with color coded notes and tabs and your best matching work out set. as long as you bring in an element of beauty to your schedule, you’re set. pleasure is a big element too; you’re not going to be happy performing tasks you don’t care about, so it’s important to set aside lots of time to take care of tasks you’re excited for. for example, make sure in between your bank run and your post office trip that you stop by your favorite coffee shop to get your favorite beverage. or when you go to the grocery store, make sure you pick up your favorite dessert or bottle of wine. adding little glances of pleasure throughout your day will greatly improve your experience. self care should also be a big priority for Venus in 6H natives. a good day to take care of things for you is Friday.

Mars in the 6H: this placement can make you extremely motivated when it comes to productivity. you are full of energy and love to get things done! when circumstances cause you to be less than efficient, it might manifest as frustration, anger, or stress in the mind or body. it will be important for you to learn a healthy way to deal with these frustrations as life gets in the way of plans, but also to remember you have more energy than most and can prioritize most of it onto your schedule. you might find that you are assertive and independent when it comes to your routine, and so other’s advice or insertion can anger you as well. just remember to stick to what works for you and you only. a good way for Mars in the 6H natives to work out energy is to make a competition with yourself. try to push yourself to get things done with a reward. this can make day to day stuff fun but also more efficient! a good day for you to push yourself is Tuesday.

Jupiter in the 6H: while a lot of other people might experience a lot of stress when it comes to their routines and to-do lists, you might rarely experience this because Jupiter in the 6H natives can take on a lot more than others. time management comes easy to you and it always seems like you get everything done with time to spare. this can actually lead to some procrastination because you always feel like you have more time, so noting this is important so as to avoid procrastinating important tasks. also, just because you can take on more than most doesn’t mean you should. you might become burned out earlier than others and though it may not manifest in the most obvious way, it can affect your health if you don’t take it seriously. that being said, take advantage of your great productiveness by helping others when you can and it will bring you good karma. Thursday is a good day for you to be productive. 

Saturn in the 6H: being productive for you means mountains of errands and tasks that seem to run on forever. you might find stuff on your to-do list, even the fun stuff, is a chore and the absolutely last thing you want to do. life itself feels like a never ending routine that you can’t get out of. you might think everyone feels like this, but this is not true! lots of people find ways or naturally enjoy their trivial tasks and you can find a way too. the important thing is to recognize that a schedule is naturally very draining to you and hard for you to enjoy. rest days are going to be extremely important, and with that comes not being hard on yourself when you do rest. Saturn in the 6H natives are actually really productive but it’s because they feel like they need to be, and you don’t. you are allowed to rest and to do things the non-traditional way in order to find joy in it. Saturday is a good errand day for you.

Uranus in the 6H: in order for Uranus in the 6H natives to stay productive, you need constant variation in your day to day life. you need spontaneity from somewhere in your schedule or you will end up resenting the process. you might benefit from just putting aside a few hours of your day to do whatever you feel like doing that day, or planning for different things every day. i recommend following the days of the week according to astrology. each day of the week is ruled by a different planet and thus, you can follow the themes for that day so your doing something new every day. another thing to keep in mind is your routine is going to be different from everyone else’s. Uranus loves to go off the beaten path, and so you will be the most successful when you come up with your own specific, unique schedule that suits your needs the best. don’t try to copy others or do “what you’re supposed to do,” do what feels right to you

Neptune in the 6H: the hard truth is that is going to be a lot harder for you to stick to a routine than most others. you might find that you’re very go-with-the-flow in your day to day life, and don’t really plan anything. you go to work when you’re scheduled, eat when you get hungry, and just deal with things as they come. there’s nothing wrong with this, but it can be frustrating to some who want to maximize their efficiency or have more control over their lives. and then when you do start a schedule, it’s very hard for you to stick with it. the best way for Neptune in the 6H natives to stay productive is to tap into your determined placements and find something that motivates you long term. one suggestion is if your own life isn’t enough motivation to be productive, then do it for others. like Uranus in the 6H people, you might benefit from following the days of the week according to astrology. each day of the week is ruled by a different planet and so thus, you can follow the themes for that day so you always know what’s coming. whatever you find that interests and motivates, schedule around that and stick to it. 

Pluto in the 6H: no one is more committed to the routine than you are. like Saturn, it becomes your entire life but unlike Saturn who dreads it, you maintain it with a sense of efficiency that most others will never reach. you have incredible focus that allows you to not waver from your responsibilities. the way you handle your day to day life inspires and motivates others, and they will likely try to follow your lead. it’s important for you to stick to this leader archetype, because following yourself is the best course of action for you. sticking to your schedule is a transformative experience and will give you a great surge of personal power. if you fail to stick with it, you might feel as if you’ve lost control over your whole life and it can quickly send you downhill. it’s going to be important for you to find a healthy balance of staying strong in your routine and going the extra mile, but also not letting it completely take over your life and give you bad habits. overall, Pluto in the 6H natives are extremely persistent and motivated and can go very far.

hekate in the signs and houses

Asteroids have a subtle effect. The more you evolve, the more you feel their effect as a focused expression of your natal chart. The asteroid Hekate (asteroid 100) is a minor astrological asteroid that determines the inner sense—women’s ways of knowing—and whether one can trust that; night; dreams; whether the mother acted as a protector; “crone” stages of life or positions; intuitive wisdom; Hekate is sometimes important at or in connection with childbirth, and can show what wisdom is gained at other life passages. The sacred day of Hekate is the 29th of every month. For astrological aspects, keep your aspects major: conjunction, square, opposition and your orbs right, within 1 degree. If Hekate touches Lilith, you must face your raw sexuality. If Hekate touches Nessus, you must face your potential to abuse. If Hekate touches Eros, you must face your erotic side. Hekate reminds us that our greatest fear…is not our smallness but our greatness.

It’s a very Cancerian asteroid because not only does it have moon symbolism, Hekate trusts her feelings entirely and gives no credence to logic. This asteroid shows where our deepest self trust lies and can be developed. It shows that we are often afraid to look at our “shadow self” (in this case, our power), because if we admit that we are not victims but creators of our lives, we have no excuses for taking the easy road any more…I believe this is also part of Jung’s urging to face the shadow. There is something here about the ability to control the forces of the nature – natural magic. The Dog Star Sirius (which incidentally, is a fixed star in the constellation of Cancer), is also connected to Hekate. As the brightest star in the sky, this association harks back to when Hekate was revered instead of reviled.

In Greek mythology, Hekate was the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts and necromancy. She was the only child of the Titans Perses and Asteria, from whom she received her power over heaven, earth, and sea. Three metamorphosis myths describe the origins of her animal familiars: the black she-dog and the polecat (a mustelid house pet kept by the ancients to hunt vermin). The dog was the Trojan Queen Hekabe (Hecuba) who leapt into the sea after the fall of Troy and was transformed by the goddess. The polecat was either the witch Gale, turned as punishment for her incontinence, or Galinthias, midwife of Alkmene (Alcmena), who was transformed by the enraged goddess Eileithyia but adopted by the sympathetic Hekate. Hekate was usually depicted in Greek vase painting as a woman holding twin torches. Sometimes she was dressed in a knee-length maiden’s skirt and hunting boots, much like Artemis. In statuary, Hekate was often depicted in triple form as a goddess of crossroads (x). She showed Demeter the way through the Underworld to Persephone. And so it is, the asteroid shows the way through your shadow and other places unknown. Hekate represents our shadow side. She resides comfortably in the Underworld, but it’s more complex than a shadow side, which sounds like Lilith or Waldemath. Hekate was very levelheaded, practical and reliable, and not blind in the slightest. Her representing the crossroads is majorly important. It adds an ambiguous element to her nature - not unlike a 12th house vibe. And yet the crossroads is a place of enormous power reserve in witchcraft. So with this, the hypothesis is that when she’s prominent in a chart, the native will possess this same kind of energy - powerful and efficient when conscious, and dangerous, stuck in the crossroads; susceptible to evil; and easily led down the wrong path, when unaware.

The sign Hekate is in determines what what we need to do to discern our direction in life; the natal house Hekate occupies can show where we go to find those parts of ourselves that were lost.

The activation of this asteroid (and all asteroids in general) is best expressed in aspects, either natally, or in synastry with another person’s planet/asteroid. Aspects to Hekate in a general relationship are as follows:

Planets in square or opposition to Hekate tend to link the native up with people who use the native for guidance only to discard them after they get what they need, resulting in resentment and anger on the part of the Hekate person. In relationships, the Hekate native tends to be a loner and may prefer not to marry or have children, which in hard aspect, may make the planet person resentful and angry (only if children/marriage is the planet person’s goal).

One person’s Hekate conjunct a planet in another’s chart brings feelings of support and guidance, especially during difficult or dark times of their lives when they aren’t sure what to do or where to turn; however if that person also has a natal planet in hard aspect to Hekate, it conflicts with the other person’s chart and the result is a volatile, often complicated state of “knowing what’s best for the other” and resentment for the other being too smothering.

Hekate in opposition to planets or other asteroids can indicate a situation where opposites attract; the loved one functions as a pillar of strength or a disconnect can emerge in which the planet person winds up distrusting and even hating/dismissing the Hekate person. How good or bad the relationship is is up to the planet person.

Hard aspects in general can represent conflict between acting as one’s ideal self as a human being and acting as a powerful deity in their own right–and this internal conflict could be acted out with their partner.

The sign and house Hekate is found in can indicate where we go to for direction (when we don’t know which path to take) as well as which road makes the best choice, in life and relationships.

hekate in the signs

Hekate in Aries: is asking for notice and asking to speak to us. She is telling us she, not usually included in the more commonly known pantheon of goddesses, has been neglected for far too long. Hekate in Taurus: it is a time to allow ourselves to experience the pleasures each of the five senses has to offer us, as we partake of the garden of life. Letting ourselves feel secure enough to make the right decision Hekate in Gemini: tends to seek out and devour massive amounts of information about magic, witchcraft, astrology and other esoteric arts. Is also very likely to be a skilled communicator on such subjects. Our light is bright and we may attract may enemies because of this. Hekate in Cancer: represents the madness that ensues when we try to ignore our instinctual and emotional responses. Needs to use more moon guidance in our discernment of the pathway, or perhaps we need to go emotionally on decisions and let the thought process be stilled, and use intuition more. Hekate in Leo: represents the petulance and dissatisfaction that manifests when we try to ignore what makes us special. We need to trust our own gut instincts even if it seems egotistical to do so. Hekate in Virgo: it’s a time to be helpful, and allow our criticism to be a guide for others who need assistance. We need to allow ourselves to make that intuitive leap in our daily lives, as well as making a daily effort to guide and protect those who need it. Hekate in Libra: our direction is found in social activities, in the expression of our intellectual and artistic endeavours. We rely on the companionship of others (especially our significant other) to help guide us through life. Hekate in Scorpio: there’s a need to go to our own deeper mind and to go deep down in the dark recesses of the soul; to go where no one else dares to go. That is the only way we can dig out the truth so that we can provide direction to others. Hekate in Sagittarius: we need to go elsewhere to find our direction in life; perhaps our guidance is found in religion or philosophy. Other countries and cultures help provide a clearer direction for us in this placement. Hekate in Capricorn: direction is found through hard work and dedication; by using our innate maturity and wisdom, we can help to guide others on their path. Hekate in Aquarius: possesses an impartial, positive, and visionary-based magic to guide others to a better, clearer path. Through altruism and focusing on the good of the whole, our sense of direction is realized. Hekate in Pisces: it’s initially unclear how we should go about getting direction in life, but ultimately, it has a lot to do with being compassionate to those who are down-and-out and living on a higher plane while using the gifts of the unconscious.

hekate in the houses 

Hekate in the 1st house: you must learn to feel your truth in your physical body. Becoming sensitive enough to feel when something feels off in actual health of the body is the way you can know what is the right path to take. That knot in your stomach? That is Hekate telling you no. Those butterflies? Could be a yes.

Hekate in the 2nd house: is about building self esteem through listening to the self. Doing the thing you though you could not do will build the self trust you need. When lost, look to what feels good. This will help you know what is right. Pleasure is a big clue to how Hekate operates in your chart.

Hekate in the 3rd house: may send you oscillating between private and public face with your craft. But you do so enjoy sharing it with those who are onboard. Higher and higher you’ll soar- and no one can stop you. The golden eagle is the totem that come to mind.

Hekate in the 4th house: the father have a very strong influence on their destiny or they will seek counsel from him. is about finding the right path through patience and quiet. This is a very spiritual placement. Relying on females and maternal figures to impart the advice and care you need when you feel lost is key.

Hekate in the 5th house: shows how we can fall back on our sense of play for comfort. This placement reminds us not to take our trials too seriously and will show how we can lighten up or get trapped in a black cloud. How you can use your instincts to find your way is pointed to. Those who have the faith of a child often have a fifth house Hekate placement. Where we need to shed our naivete in order to see the true path before us is also shown.

Hekate in the 6th house: shows how we can achieve self trust in our daily life. Turning to the comfort of health practices for knowledge when we feel lost. Looking for wisdom in alternative medicine, finding solace in loving pets , learning to communicate with life forms other than human when you need assistance.

Hekate in the 7th house: ones spouse will dramatically change ones life path. It tells of needing to ask for help when the chips are down. Relying on the advice of others to help you find the way

Hekate in the 8th house: would likely accent her crone-guardian role at “the gates of life” (both birth and death including those births and deaths of the cycles of changes in behaviour). Hekate here might also be a kind of “psychological counselor” as her inner wisdom would tap into core issues for others; that “knowing” of Hekate would intuit the pain (and defensive games) of others, and have the resources for guiding/leading them through.

Hekate in the 9th house: shows how the wisdom of philosophy, the higher mind and education can show you the way. Meditation and study can be your guide when you don’t know where to turn.

Hekate in the 10th house: shows how we are known for our own emotional confidence or lack of it. Turning to the father or a trusted male figure is often where we can find the help and advice we seek when we don’t know where to turn. Learning to trust the voice of authority.

Hekate in the 11th house: is about turning to friends for advice and help when we feel lost. Friends can often be the voice of reason and comfort, and how we can use this support is shown.

Hekate in the 12th house: shows that you must turn to your own unconscious mind and trust the unseen when you feel lost or confused. Learning to trust that voice that lies at the far back of the mind is key. Not trusting ones own intuition is often the undoing of the person with Hekate in the 12th house. (x)

Hekate in the 2nd house: is about building self esteem through listening to the self. Doing the thing you though you could not do will build the self trust you need. When lost, look to what feels good. This will help you know what is right. Pleasure is a big clue to how Hekate operates in your chart.

Hekate in the 3rd house: may send you oscillating between private and public face with your craft. But you do so enjoy sharing it with those who are onboard. Higher and higher you’ll soar- and no one can stop you. The golden eagle is the totem that come to mind.

Hekate in the 4th house: the father have a very strong influence on their destiny or they will seek counsel from him. is about finding the right path through patience and quiet. This is a very spiritual placement. Relying on females and maternal figures to impart the advice and care you need when you feel lost is key.

Hekate in the 5th house: shows how we can fall back on our sense of play for comfort. This placement reminds us not to take our trials too seriously and will show how we can lighten up or get trapped in a black cloud. How you can use your instincts to find your way is pointed to. Those who have the faith of a child often have a fifth house Hekate placement. Where we need to shed our naivete in order to see the true path before us is also shown.

Hekate in the 6th house: shows how we can achieve self trust in our daily life. Turning to the comfort of health practices for knowledge when we feel lost. Looking for wisdom in alternative medicine, finding solace in loving pets , learning to communicate with life forms other than human when you need assistance.

Hekate in the 7th house: ones spouse will dramatically change ones life path. It tells of needing to ask for help when the chips are down. Relying on the advice of others to help you find the way

Hekate in the 8th house: would likely accent her crone-guardian role at “the gates of life” (both birth and death including those births and deaths of the cycles of changes in behaviour). Hekate here might also be a kind of “psychological counselor” as her inner wisdom would tap into core issues for others; that “knowing” of Hekate would intuit the pain (and defensive games) of others, and have the resources for guiding/leading them through.

Hekate in the 9th house: shows how the wisdom of philosophy, the higher mind and education can show you the way. Meditation and study can be your guide when you don’t know where to turn.

Hekate in the 10th house: shows how we are known for our own emotional confidence or lack of it. Turning to the father or a trusted male figure is often where we can find the help and advice we seek when we don’t know where to turn. Learning to trust the voice of authority.

Hekate in the 11th house: is about turning to friends for advice and help when we feel lost. Friends can often be the voice of reason and comfort, and how we can use this support is shown.

Hekate in the 12th house: shows that you must turn to your own unconscious mind and trust the unseen when you feel lost or confused. Learning to trust that voice that lies at the far back of the mind is key. Not trusting ones own intuition is often the undoing of the person with Hekate in the 12th house. (x)

🪐 ASTROCARTOGRAPHY 🌙

Don't steal, don't repost 👹🔪.

Astrocartography is a tool used in locational astrology. Essentially, it shows you a map based on the planets' placements based on the time and place you were born. It's a fun tool to show you places that are most affected by a planet's energy. When you have no idea where to go or travel, you can use this. But don't base your whole life decisions on this tool, you can still go wherever you want, it just shows you the places that are best recommended and least recommended but don't let it restrict you! It's just for fun!

I use astro.com's astrocartography tool called astroclick travel.

Put the required information to store the data of your birth chart in the website, if you haven't already. Remember to choose female or male in the gender part of the birth data entry because astroclick travel won't work if the data is stored as "event/other." In astro.com's homepage, click free horoscopes, then click locational astrology, and under locational astrology, click astroclick travel.

🥀 THE PART OF FORTUNE

When you pull up your astrocartography map, the red symbol of the part of fortune is always on the place of your birth. Person B was born in Paris, France so their part of fortune is on Paris.

🥀 VERTICAL LINES AND HORIZONTAL WAVES

The Vertical Lines are the planets/mc lines and planets/ic lines while the horizontal waves are the planets/asc line and planets/dc line.

This is Person B's astrocartography map as an example:

🥀 ZENITHS

The Circles in the planets/mc lines are called zeniths. This is where the maximum effect of the planet is felt. For example, if you want to go somewhere where you want to feel the ultimate effects of Venus, you know, maybe where you want to increase the chances of finding love or harmony, or maybe you're an artist or a fashion designer and you want to be in a place where you can have a massive pump of energy and inspiration to create an artwork, possibly your masterpiece, then the zenith area is absolutely recommended. Others say this is where you find the people that will love you for the whole of your life, soulmates and all that.

What if the zenith is in the middle of the ocean or other large bodies of water and I really want to visit my *insert planet* zenith? Then try to book a cruise ship or fly on an airplane (if there's ships and planes that go to those areas but if not- well, I hope the planet's line in of itself will suffice.)

Ex. This image shows Person B's saturn/dc line on the bottom left, venus/mc line and zenith, mercury/mc line and zenith and neptune/dc line on the right. As you can see, the zeniths are in the middle of the ocean. Honestly, most of Person B's planet zeniths (the little circles) are in the middle of the ocean as you can see in their astrocartography map above (the 2nd image).

🥀 ADDITIONAL HARMONIOUS AND DISHARMONIOUS/HARD ASPECT LINES:

As you can see in the image below, there's a "with harmonious aspect" and "with disharmonious aspect" option. Click those if you want to see additional lines. Though their energies or effects are lesser in amount compared to the major ac, dc, mc, ic lines.

Extra: You see that "Scalable Map" tab? Click and choose there if you want to focus alone on a specific area or continent like Europe, Africa, etc.

Then boom! Look at this humongous amounts of lines everywhere, it's like a really big tangle of yarns or a spider's web! This may overwhelm some so try to take it easy and focus on the major lines first before diving into these. Note that the additional lines are thinner compared to the major lines that are thick.

🥀 PLANET LINES:

If you know the meaning of the planets, apply that to what these lines means. These are just my generalizations of what each planetary line means.

Sun Lines: Bright yellow lines. They have something to do with your ego and uplifting yourself, where you might feel yourself shine and be bright and happy the most- if it's a favorable line. Places where you can feel to be noticed and attract attention the most. Where you can be surrounded by many people and gain popularity. Recommended if you want to boost your career, especially if it has to do with the public and fame. But if it's a hard/disharmonious aspect line, then the sun's energy is restricted and can be quite challenging.

Moon Lines: The moon lines are a nice shade of dark blue. They have something to do with your emotions, your wellbeing, etc. All the things having to do with the moon. For example, if you want to be somewhere where you want to be inspired to write a really emotional piece of poetry, story or film then try these places. Or if you just want to be in tune with your emotions and soul, meditate and relax, chill and be cozy then go here.

Mercury Lines: Light Green. Places where your mind can be stimulated the most, communicate easily and just inhale information and stuff. Where your mind can be at ease the most and thinking at its higher brain power. Recommended if you want to find a place where you want to study like go to college or something, enter educational programs, etc.

Venus Lines: Dark Green. Places where you can find love, be lovely and in harmony, do art and other venusian things. Like I said, if you're an artist or designer, try to go here if you want to create something special and all that. Or if you just want to live that venusian, fairytale movie like life and just be at peace. If you have a night/nocturnal birth chart, venus places can be the most beneficial places to go to since it's benefic in a night chart.

Mars Lines: Red. Where you can feel passionate at most, highly energized and pumped up. These are the places you can go to if you want to do very energetic activites like hiking or just want to feel hyped up in general. It can also be challenging though because these can affect your mood and you might be mad easily in these places, etc. Others don't really recommend the mars areas because they note that it can be dangerous and risky, disaster zones. If you have a night chart especially, the martian areas can be the most challenging since it's malefic in a night chart.

Jupiter Lines: Pink lines. It is said that these areas are one of the best places you can go to. Especially if you have a day chart since jupiter is benefic here. These are the places where you can feel happy, optimistic and adventurous. Where the vibe and energy can be positive and relaxing the most. Also the places where one's luck is increased. Which is why these places are recommended in relation to your career.

Saturn Lines: Brown. Places where you can be restricted, be faced with responsibility. These are the places you can go to to be disciplined or if you want to be challenged. Where you can face your ambitions/goals and challenge yourself and others. These places are challenging and can be hard especially to people with a day chart since saturn is malefic here.

Uranus Lines: Sky blue. Places where you can face a lot of changes. Whether to your career or self. Places where you can get away from the mundane to encounter exotic and great once-in-a-lifetime experiences to develop yourself. These are the places you can go to if you want to feel absolutely wild and free and independent. You may encounter unique and one-of-a-kind people on here you can befriend and bond with. They'll be unforgettable and vice versa.

Neptune Lines: Purple. Places where you can hone your spiritual and emotional being. Where you can be more private and secure from the rest of the world, just in harmony with yourself. You'll encounter more experiences and opportunities to hone abilities like your intuition. And you may also encounter more mystical or supernatural related things on here that can help you.

Pluto Lines: Black. These places can be intense and stressful. Similar to saturn and mars combined together but like twice the effect. These are the places where you can be forced to face transformations on your life. Experiences that may be hard to deal with. Places where you will encounter major challenges after challenges and problems. It can either feel as if the universe is just sending you lessons to help you or the universe is against you.

Chiron Lines: Black. You can go to these places to heal yourself or help others heal themselves. These are the places where you can put your mind and self, your worries and wounds to rest. Where you can find ways or experiences that can be therapeutic to you. Also can motivate you to contemplate and look at your life and origin.

North Node Lines: Black. These places are like unfamiliar territory, the kind of places that take you out of your comfort zone. You will encounter many experiences on here that will push you to change certain views and values, make you think differently. These are the places you can go to if you want a life-changing experience that can change the trajectory of your life path. There's like a calling from these places, like you're bound for something to happen on here, like your karmic path.

🥀 CROSSINGS

Crossings are like the conjunctions in a regular astrology chart. These are when lines cross or intersect/meet each other. These are the areas that when the planets cross each other- their energy becomes intertwined or combined together.

Ex. The image below shows the A) crossing of Venus and Jupiter, B) crossing of Venus and Chiron, C) crossing of Mercury and Chiron, D) crossing of Mercury and Mars, E) crossing of Mercury and Jupiter, and F) crossing of Sun and Mars.

🥀 FREE INTERPRETATIONS

Astro.com's astroclick travel has free interpretations or general informations about what each line and zenith means. Just click on a specific line, crossing or zenith and a block of text will appear either beside the map or at the bottom.

The crossings of major lines also have free interpretations on astro.com, just click on them and the block of text will appear. Sometimes, you have to be really precise on clicking the point of crossings though so that the text will appear which is why I recommend zooming in and then click.

The additional lines have free interpretations too but most of the time they're shorter since their effects are mostly similar to the major ones, just lesser. The crossings of these extra lines don't have interpretations though but again, it's just similar to the interpretations given for the major line crossings, you can easily put two and two together.

Ex. I clicked on the venus/descendant line and this appeared:

Extra: You can click the "Show Details" option to show the other lines that are close to the point/area you clicked.

Thank you so much for reading 🌹.

Therapeutic properties of Honey

Main Properties

Anti-infective and antibiotic properties

Honey has been known since antiquity for its anti-infective properties: honey prevents bacterial, viral or fungal proliferation thanks to an enzyme, glucose oxidase, producing hydrogen peroxide (as in hydrogen peroxide) which is a natural antiseptic. In addition, it has a low protein concentration which prevents bacteria from growing. Finally, its acidity hinders the multiplication of bacteria, completing its antibacterial action. It can be used for this purpose both on the skin and ingested for the respiratory or digestive sphere.

Healing properties

Often used as an antiseptic to treat wounds, honey also has healing properties which once again justify its use on the skin. It then prevents the development of bacteria and regenerates the skin tissue in order to have good healing. This action is due to its high osmolarity, which causes honey to attract water, drain lymph and plasma outward, which removes debris and cleanses the wound. Honey is therefore a very recognized antiseptic and antibacterial, which helps wound healing.

Antioxidant properties

Thanks to the presence of many flavonoids, honey has an important antioxidant power, because they neutralize free radicals, thus having a beneficial effect in the prevention of certain cancers or certain cardiovascular diseases. We can also note here that “dark” honey, richer in flavonoids and fructose, would be more effective for these therapeutic properties.

Energetic and toning properties

Honey is a general tonic for the body which notably strengthens the immune system. It therefore helps to better resist microbial infections and is an ally of choice when you feel tired and woozy. Plus, because it's full of sugar, honey is a great energy source that can give you a boost when you need it. Be careful though if you are diabetic or watching your line, because honey has a higher sweetening power than sugar and is very caloric. Similarly, it has a significant cariogenic power, and all these carbohydrates do not necessarily go well with the teeth!

Sedative and calming properties

Honey allows the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that will promote sleep. So, rather than adding a piece of sugar to your evening herbal tea, dilute a spoonful of honey in order to have a good, calm and peaceful night!

Respiratory properties

Against coughs or sore throats, honey will bring an immediate and lasting soothing effect. Thanks to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it's effective in calming cold symptoms and soothing your respiratory system. It will calm respiratory irritations and will reduce the adhesion of bacteria to the respiratory wall, thus preventing their proliferation.

Other Uses

Digestive properties

Honey acts directly on the digestive sphere, and is effective in treating stomach and intestinal infections, reducing inflammation or gastric ulcers, as well as temporary constipation. Thanks to its “diastase” enzymes, it helps digestion and stimulates the stomach. Finally, it has a slight laxative power (variable depending on the honey) and limits intestinal fermentation.

Cardiovascular protective properties:

Thanks to the B vitamins, which are antioxidants, honey will limit atherosclerosis, having a beneficial effect on the heart and blood vessels.

Support of essential oils in ingestion

This is something you don't necessarily think of at first glance, but which can be very useful: and yes, honey is a very good solution for diluting essential oils and serving as a support for their ingestion. In addition, if the mixtures are made in large quantities for long-term use, we can speak in this case of aromals, which are therefore associations between honey and essential oil (s) (in quantity less than 1 %).

Taste properties

If honey is so famous, it's above all for its use in cooking! Whether it's to accompany food, in a sauce or on a spread, this succulent sweet product is not to be outdone, and, we must admit, it would be wrong to deprive ourselves of it!

Cosmetic properties

Used since Antiquity in beauty care, honey has a pH close to that of the skin (4 to 6), and its rich composition makes it a very good moisturizing, emollient, softening and toning agent! It nourishes the cells, promotes their renewal and helps maintain the youthfulness of the skin.

Precations for use

Honey being a good support for Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria responsible for botulism (disease affecting the nervous system), it's absolutely not recommended for children under 1 year old. Indeed, this bacterium found in dust and soil is transported by bees and can be found in honey. However, before the age of 1, the baby has an immune system that isn't yet ready to defend itself against this micro-organism, and if it consumes infected honey, spores can develop in its intestine and trigger infant botulism. .

Specificities of each type of Honey

According to the plants foraged, and therefore according to the environmental environment where the bees are located, there are different types of honey whose composition is different and therefore whose properties will be different; Here are some examples:

Acacia honey

it's one of the most famous honeys, it's clear, almost transparent and with a golden reflection. It's considered a recommended bowel regulator for young children. With its pleasant flavor and sweet smell, it is particularly used in cooking, to sweeten thanks to its high fructose content.

Chestnut honey

Fairly used but often in "forest honey", which therefore comes from several trees, it is a very good healing agent, rich in trace elements and even having a beneficial effect on blood circulation.

Rapeseed Honey:

This semi-solid, pale yellow honey crystallizes quickly (about a month after harvest). It is calming and rebalancing nervous, and is recommended in case of heartburn.

Lavender Honey

And yes, the lavender that provides so many essential oils also makes honey! Antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, it is used for the treatment of respiratory infections, to treat insect bites and to heal infected wounds or burns. It is also very relaxing, promotes sleep and relieves irritability.

Dandelion Honey

This sweet-tasting, bright yellow honey is especially popular with children who like to spread it. It is considered to have diuretic virtues and to relieve the liver.

Fir Honey

It too is generally a constituent of the famous "Forest honey", but also of "Mountain honey". , but the pure fir honey is special, indeed the fir tree does not flower, but the bees collect the honeydew from the aphids which feed directly on the sap of the tree, so it is the result of two processes of animal transformation. It is very rich in trace elements and has antiseptic, anti-anaemic and diuretic properties, and is recommended in the treatment of asthma or colds.

Buckwheat Honey

From its name, you'd think it came from Brittany and you're right! It can be used to fight against demineralization and bone diseases. It is therefore recommended for growing children and convalescents, but beware of its very pronounced taste!

Thyme Honey

It is a general antiseptic recommended in infectious pathologies, whether respiratory or digestive. It also has a toning effect which is very appreciable in case of cold or flu.

Linden Honey

This light-colored honey, with a very mild taste and delicate aroma, is a soothing agent that promotes sleep. It is pleasantly used to sweeten your infusion in the evening.

But that's not all, Honeys of Hawthorn, Buckthorn, Heather, Oak, Eucalyptus, Raspberry, Orange, Rosemary, Sunflower, or even Clover, one could almost say that there are as many honeys as there are flowers, which would make… a lot of different honeys! Thus, the list above is not exhaustive, and there are some particularly powerful honeys, such as Manuka honey:

Manuka Honey

The star of honeys? According to some research, the latter would be the Rolls-Royce of honeys!

Amber-yellow to orange in color, this honey comes from the manuka tree (a cousin of the tea tree, a major plant in the Maori pharmacopoeia) found exclusively in New Zealand and Australia. Manuka Honey is said to be a far superior honey to others due to its high content of methylglyoxal, the source of the UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) index: the higher it is, the more active the honey! And since the French like to do what they want, this index is equivalent to the IAA for us. This index therefore represents the power of honey: below 10+, it will be used only for its nutritional qualities, between 10+ and 16+ it will be ideal to support your body, give it a boost and take care of your health. on a daily basis, and you need an IAA of 18+ minimum in order to take full advantage of all its therapeutic benefits.

It's a powerful antibacterial, very healing, which strengthens immunity and prevents respiratory infections. It's very effective against coughs and respiratory problems, and has an action on acne/eczema. Finally, it facilitates a deep and restorative sleep.

Studies have shown that Manuka honey has a bactericidal action superior to certain antibiotics, and that it is even effective against the terrible Staphylococcus aureus! Effective against the various bacteria involved in sinusitis, colds, and other respiratory infections, studies have also proven that it acts faster and stronger than other honeys. In addition, it has an extraordinary action on wounds, scars, burns, fungal infections, stomach ulcers (especially those due to Helicobacter pylori), as well as on mouth ulcers, sinusitis and sore throats. And as if that were not enough, it will stimulate the immune system!

The methylglyoxal contained in Manuka honey prevents bacteria from attaching to damaged tissues, and is a moisturizing antimicrobial that's very favorable to healing. In this context, you can use it in application on a clean wound before applying a dressing. In addition, it's preferable to use honey with a UMF (or IAA) of 18+ or 20+ in order to take advantage of its maximum potency.

Thus, although more expensive than other honeys, Manuka honey is an incredible honey with exceptional properties! You can use it in different forms to take advantage of its fantastic virtues: applied to the skin, ingested as is, throat lozenge or honey-based spray.

Greetings, witchy tumblr! I have created a free-to-use alphabet for anyone who wants to use it! While I made it with magickal purposes in mind, I won’t stop you for using it in any other way.

I like runes that are easy to write and equally easy to learn and remember, so I tried to make these that particular goal in mind. Most of the runes also resemble their anglo-roman (or is it latin?) counterpart, so it’s also easier to read the runes without having to check its corresponding letter constantly.

I made two versions, one is more round and smooth, while the other is angular and sharp.

I’m bad when it comes to naming things, so the name “desert runes” came from my current desktop picture of a beautiful golden desert during sunset. Also it sounds nice?

I’d love it if you tagged anything that uses this script with #desertrunes or #desertscript so I can see it, especially if you use it to make sigils! Have fun!
