I deeply desire a Victorian glass greenhouse with all kinds of flowers and herbs, air ferns hanging from all places, and a trickling water fountain to create an atmosphere of serenity.

Astrological Crash Course: Chiron
Chiron describes how we heal and heal others. It can signify moving on from a deep, intense struggle. Chiron is where we feel held back, what we need to move on from, and how we advise others based on the struggles we’ve gone through. Chiron has three parts to decipher. The sign, what the house signifies based on the sign, and what the house means.
For example: My Chiron is in Libra in my 5th house. This means that I constantly am comparing myself to others and I need other people to tell me who I am. I try to make myself whole by self-expression through creative means and by teaching others whenever I can.
This will begin to make more sense as you read up on your sign/house, I promise!
C H I R O N I N T H E S I G N S
ARIES: Having Chiron in Aries is going to make you feel like you don’t really know where you belong. You can have problems with asserting yourself, making yourself feel like you matter at all, and trying to figure out who you’re meant to be. In order to completely heal yourself, you have to try to be more assertive and recognize that you do have the power to make your life what you want it to be. Your house will signify where in your life you’ll see the most progress.
TAURUS: Having Chiron in Taurus leaves you feeling left behind. It’s common for those with this placement to feel neglected and forgotten about. You could feel like you’re always missing something, that there’s someone or something in your life that you desperately need, but never get. Healing begins with learning to regard yourself as something worth loving. Love yourself, value yourself, and stand up for yourself. Your house will signify what you value the most.
GEMINI: Having Chiron in Gemini can make you shy and withdrawn. Feeling like you’re not smart enough or good enough in comparison to your peers is also a common thing for those with this placement. Inferiority complexes, not being able to properly communicate with others, and lacking confidence are all traits of having Chiron in Gemini. To heal, you’ll have to become more confident in yourself. Your house will signify which part of your life will make the biggest impact on what you think and feel.
CANCER: Having Chiron in Cancer means you’re selfless to a fault. You constantly give and give to others, but never expect much in return – if anything. You can feel like no one wants you around or that you’re just bothering everyone. In order to heal, you’ll have to stop giving so much of yourself away to other people and be selfish sometimes. Your house will signify where you feel like you’re being held back.
LEO: Having Chiron in Leo means that you feel like no one cares about you and appreciates you. You can feel like nothing you do is good enough for anyone and that there’s always going to be someone better than you. It can feel like because of this, people never pay attention to you and think that you’re just in the way. To get over this and to heal, you need to try to believe in yourself more. Your house will signify which areas of your life you’re the most creative in.
VIRGO: Having Chiron in Virgo means you worry way too much. You worry about everything all the time and you find fault in everything you say and do. You’re constantly criticizing yourself and never feel like you can live up to your standards or the standards of anyone else. To heal, you’ll need to learn to accept mistakes and minor problems. Your house will signify how you make changes in your life.
LIBRA: Having Chiron in Libra means that you need the approval of others to make yourself feel like you’re worthy of anything. You never really know who you truly are and you need other people to tell you who you are and which role to play in your own life. To heal, you need more structure in your life to make you feel like you’re more in control of what happens to you. Your house will signify how you make yourself feel complete.
SCORPIO: Having Chiron in Scorpio means that you’re always worried about people leaving you. You feel like you don’t have any power over your life or what happens to you. Being left behind is one of your biggest fears and you’re scared that it’s always going to become a reality. In order to heal, you’ll have to find yourself and become your own best friend. Your house will signify what empowers you and how you’ll give power to yourself.
SAGITTARIUS: Having Chiron in Sagittarius means that you don’t feel like you connect with yourself. You might feel like you’re detached from your body, or that your soul is detached from yourself. It’s possible that you don’t feel like you have anything to offer anyone or that you feel like you don’t know enough about life to make it. To heal yourself, you’ll need to find out who you are deep down and connect with that person. Your house will signify how you can realign your soul with your body, how you’ll feel complete.
CAPRICORN: Having Chiron in Capricorn means that you don’t really know what your purpose is. You can feel directionless, like you don’t have a reason to be here. It’s possible that you feel like everyone in your life has turned you away and that you can’t do anything to regain their love. Healing begins with finding what makes you feel like you matter and finding your self worth. You house will signify how you find balance in your life and even yourself out.
AQUARIUS: Having Chiron in Aquarius means that you might not feel like you fit in anywhere. That even with your friends, you never feel like you have a place. You can feel like you’re just like everyone else, that you’re not special or important, and that you’re easily replaceable. In order to heal, you have to be around people who care about you and love you completely. Your house will signify how you connect to the life you live.
PISCES: Having Chiron in Pisces means that you can perpetually feel guilty, even if you haven’t done anything to feel guilty about. You can feel like it’s always you against the world, that people are always mad at you, and that you’re always a victim. In order to heal and get past this, you have to clear your mind and find a reason to keep going. Your house will signify where you fit in and where you feel most comfortable.

This is the person to go to for advice and tends to be highly understanding. They are a good listener and has a way of communicating with others that really reaches them.
Moon Sextile Venus: Emotional appeal is real here. This person reads the needs of others and tends to give this. At times they could be too easygoing/a pushover. They seek out bonds that are pleasant, charming, and don’t have a lot of conflict. This aspect is not necessarily shallow but there is an emotional fear of conflict, especially in romantic bonds. They must also learn to let others meet them halfway.
Moon Sextile Mars: Mars impulses and drive can be fueled into the emotions. Due to the sextile this is usually done in a productive or empowering way. This person could be a huge campaigner for a cause, the one to fiercely protect others, or is an intense healer. Look at the Moon’s traits of course, then add the combustion and passion of Mars!
Moon Sextile Jupiter: The emotional self is more carefree, trusting, funny, optimistic, and impulsive. This person can be blinded by all this positivity. They need to be careful of acting naive, trusting bad actors, or even becoming delusional.

An Air Moon can tune this down a bit, a Fire Moon make this more volatile. Despite the element or sign of the Moon this person is highly sensitive to their environment. They can easily draw in others due to this nature or push them away.
Moon Sextile Midheaven: This indicates sensitivity and emotional expression in the professional realm. At times they could take things too personally. Other times this can indicate great skill with creative jobs or networking through their personable approach. They need to work on taking criticism, dealing with general negativity/struggles in the workplace, and becoming more objective in terms of goals, success, and the working environment.

Moon Sextile Ceres: This person’s aura screams with nurture and protection. They are the mother among friends and loved ones. Caring for others is instinctive to them. This is the person who needs to be needed.
Moon Sextile Juno: Could indicate a nurturing/mothering relationship with the soul mate. There are themes of compassion and unconditional love in this aspect. Emotions are everything in terms of attachment. Attachments can run deep and be long-lasting. Beware of sacrificing everything for one’s spouse.
Moon Sextile Vesta: Listen to this person when they tell you to relax. They inwardly know how to take care of their mind, body, and feelings. They sense when tension builds up in others. At times a lack in drive could form in this aspect, finding safety in always retreating from stress or challenges.
Moon Sextile Pallas: The emotional self plays a role in talents, skills, and creativity. The inner self is expressed and shown through what they are good at. This is a good placement for processing emotions through art.

Hey
As a general rule of thumb any stone/mineral ending in “-ite” (ex. selenite, malachite, fluorite) is a softer stone that A.Should not be exposed to water. And B.Can be damaged more easily in general. I’m sure there are exceptions and I encourage you to do your own research but I hope this is helpful ✌️

Harsh Venus Aspects ♀
Sun conjunct Venus: Not typically a disharmonious aspect and only applicable if the sun/Venus conjunction is afflicted by other circumstances. Difficulty creating cohesive interactions that benefit the development of the ego and possibly friction with masculine figures. Exhibits an attractive personality of tact and captivating charisma and inclined to exercise artistic practices. Charm can be used as a form of manipulation. Apt to be physically indulgent, lazy and self-concerned. Can embody and identify (sun) with the Handheld Mirror (Venus ♀), and reflect the character of other people, which makes an excessively accommodating character where they are unable to express themselves individually/genuinely.
Moon opposite/square Venus: Unable to emotionally relate to others and develop harmonious relationships with the mother, sister or feminine figures. The natural absorber and reflector of light (moon ◯) internalizes the Handheld Mirror (Venus ♀) so often reflects and mimics the emotions of others, disregarding their own emotional needs. The sense of creativity, music and imagination are strong and possibly used as coping mechanisms. A need to love and be loved. Feels they need relationships, so can experience moments of melancholy during loneliness. Apt to be indulgent and an exhibit clinginess/neediness. Creates superficial and unmeaningful relationships with others for the sake of wanting to be loved rooted from a fear of abandonment.
Mercury conjunct Venus: Not typically a disharmonious aspect and only applicable if the mercury/Venus conjunction is afflicted by other circumstances. The way of thinking is optimistic, sweet and refined and the individual is inclined to the arts, music and literature. The conscious perception of realistic love may be flawed and idealized and the way of thinking can accommodate more to others then themselves. A superficial tongue and thought trend where lying may become a problem for the sake of wanting to be adored by everyone. A strong yearning for social connection with love always on the mind, yet contradicts themselves by tending to lose interest in interpersonal relationships erratically.
Mars opposite/conjunct/square Venus: The anima and animus struggle (mars) to reach harmony (Venus). This is the romantic adventurer who possesses unyielding principles of justice, diplomacy and equity. If sexually inclined, enjoys the fusion of sex and love. There is much ambition regarding Venusian matters such as money, love and pleasure. The pleasure principle however, is prone to compulsion such as impulse buying or reckless sexual urges that must be consciously balanced. Attracted to danger. The individual wants to be independent, so could aggressively reject interpersonal and social relationships where they may feel trapped, dispirited and uninspired, even though they desire it so much. Apt to be the partner who leads and fights for love, yet also the partner who dictates, controls, bullies and causes strife within relationships. Venus is the handheld mirror (♀ reflection and projection) so they may attract partners of combative essence. Self-isolating due to the feeling that they only need to love themselves, yet self-antagonize in frustration when they wonder why love does not come their way.
Jupiter opposite/square Venus: The two favorable benefics contacting each other regardless of circumstance seldom creates friction, yet the love (Venus) and charitable (Jupiter) principles are swelled dramatically and the individual asks too much or gives too much in relationships. There is a constant search for “god” within everyone they meet, creating unrealistic idealizations of people, who are only human. The character is jovial and free-spirited where they are apt to see relationships as mere one-time adventures as opposed to devoting union, creating one who wishes to escape from relationships in fear their freedom is in jeopardy and not realizing that one can free their heart with others. Nonetheless, the character is good-natured, adventurous and big-hearted. Much emphasis on indulging in pleasure and focusing on mundane discoveries, such as desiring ample material wealth and valuing physical appearance, unaware that inner discovery is the “god” they are looking for, where genuine richness and appreciation rest within.
Saturn opposite/conjunct/square Venus: The love principle is frozen in time and takes an eternity to thaw and realize its truest potential. The temperament and response to affection is awkward, withdrawn and reserved. Likewise, the expression of love or affection is slow to surface and the individual can experience emotional delays when reciprocating love. There are ambitions of material security and self-cultivation, but a fear of reaching for them. Saturn bestows a sense of abandonment to the loving nature and the individual may feel as though they have never received love that provided guidance to a dignified sense of self-worth. The coldness, distance and detachment that was projected onto them is projected onto others. When they are open to affection and social interaction, there is a high tendency to bitterly judge, criticize and minimize received affections which further restrict their own loving nature. With time however, (Saturn) the flower blossoms (Venus).
Uranus opposite/conjunct/square Venus: The character is buzzing with unique charisma. There is a liking to the unusual and the individual typically has a quirky aesthetic sense. Acts of affection and love are unconventional and they are prone to experiencing sudden upsets within relationships due to their inconsistency. Outwardly magnetizing yet inwardly high-strung, vacillating and temperamentally emotional causing unpredictable behavior. A tendency to get bored with people and their routine which creates a desire for thoughtless and irresponsible recklessness as a form of seeking change. Needs to practice giving as much space and freedom as they demand for themselves. Wants a connective social circle and unifying relationships yet will refuse to give themselves completely for the sake of preserving their independence and individuality.
Neptune opposite/conjunct/square Venus: The love principle (Venus) is dissolved, unclear (Neptune) so the person can feel uncertain and clueless concerning all themes of Love. The individual is sacrificial to their loved ones or has unrealistic and idealized expectations that their loved ones should sacrifice for them. Apt to fall for those who are unavailable or who need saving, bringing pain in their relationships. Can use art, daydreaming, music, spirituality and other creative expressions as a form of escapism. Inspirational to others and emits an alluring, captivating presence. Often projects their fantasies onto other people, imagining the ‘perfect’ partner and likewise their projections are reflected (♀) and they are romanticized by others. Apt to indulge and find pleasure (Venus) in their self-martyrdom (Neptune). Addicted to the idea of love but does not manifest the idea into action beyond dreams. Could be unknowingly deceptive; possesses unusual values; and shows inconsistency with resources. A desire for celestial union. The loving spirit (Venus) contacts the higher octave of love (Neptune) and so the loving nature is either elevated (Divine, Universal Love) or drowned (Delusional, Suffering Love).
Pluto opposite/conjunct/square Venus: Self-fulfilling prophecy that love=doom and the power of the handheld mirror projects (♀) this attitude onto others and therefore makes doom happen in relationships; ruin comes true only because of their antagonistic and distrustful perceptions regarding love. The mirror is dual, what an individual sends out is what an individual will receive back. Sultry, strange compelling charm and an ability to master social situations. Can see sex as a beautiful art form. Must let go of possessive and jealous behaviors. Can abuse the love principle and use it to indulge in their obsessions: power, money, control and pleasure. Demand the utmost privacy yet infiltrates, probes and invades the privacy of others. Needs to practice monitoring their lust, greed and other compulsive desires. Deeply longs for love and being empowered by it, but refuse to acknowledge that only until they are truly loving themselves (until they surrender themselves genuinely to love) will love transform and embolden their spirit.
Bird Symbolism
So I was looking out my window and saw two birds and the idea of making a list of symbolism associated with types of birds came to mind. My mom always taught me if you see an animal -especially if they are doing something out of the ordinary- you should take it as an omen. So here’s a list of some basic birds, some of the associations are personal but I hope you like it!
Blue Jay-the truth will be revealed, high energy, playfulness, clarity and communication.
Cardinal-hope, joy, good health, some associate them with angels or deceased love ones, passion and warmth.
Crow-often associated with magic and witches, transformation, power, intelligence and mystery.
Duck-friendships, new friends, happiness, good fortune and protect against negative energies “water off a ducks back” :)
Dove-peace, harmony, joy, love, might be telling you to break away from a toxic situation, think positive, often associated with Aphrodite or Jesus or Angels
Eagle-power, leadership, freedom, adventure, breaking free.
Hawk- common as spirit guides, courage, protection, and awareness.
Hummingbird- I adore hummingbirds and often associate them with faeries. Creativity, joy, love and beauty. Can be a sign that you are moving too fast in life and need to take a break.
Magpie-Magpies represent duality because seeing them can be really good or really bad, I know it’s confusing :/ Seeing a magpie can be a good luck omen and new oppurtunities will appear. They also represent illusion and trickery, maybe someone is being a two-faced friend to you.
Owl- wisdom, associated with the goddess Athena, intuition, spiritual exploration, change, observation and intelligence.
Raven- associated with the nordic god Odin, mystery, magic, fae magic, knowledge, mischieve, and can be seen as a death omen (but can also mean change)
Robin- luck, prosperity, good things will happen, joy and your hard work will soon be rewarded.
Sparrow- associated with Aphrodite, new love and relationships, fertility, team work, time of productivity and stop procrastinating.
Stork-long life, prosperity, fertility, new life, wisdom, take time to relax, motherhood and luck.
Swan- also associated with Aphrodite and Apollo, gracefulness, beauty, music, poetry, creativity, loyalty, and long lasting relationships.
Vulture-death, cleaning up other people’s messes, renewal, patient, use your resources and be perceptive.
Woodpecker- hard work, take advantage of new oppurtunities, attention, progress and determination.
Tip! If you are repeatedly seeing a certain animal or have a strong liking to an animal it could be a way a spirit guide is trying to get your attention (or that animal is just really common in your area lol )

The Sun in the Houses
Introduction
The House the Sun resides in represents the area of an individual’s life most affected by the expression of individuality and our unique powers. This is where we seek to make our mark, and how we feel our uniqueness.
Unless there is a House Stellium elsewhere in the individual’s chart, this House will be the most defining in the natal chart as the powerful influence of the Sun is directed there.
The Sun directs us to take action in the areas of life ruled by the House it resides in. We cannot lead happy, fulfilled lives without exploring our potential in these areas. This is an extremely vital contribution to our identity.
These areas of life are also where our egos are allowed to flourish, which means there is a necessity to be cautious of growing too self-confident or self-assured. There must be balance.
Sun in the 1st House
The House of Self
This position bestows great will and passion. The native possesses vitality, an air of confidence, and self-awareness. Their concept and understanding of their own identity is of great importance in their life, and to their overall success as an individual.
Natives of this position take great pride in their physical appearance and what they do and create. They seek to be recognized for what they are and what they are capable of in a way that other natives do not. They need recognition to feel secure in themselves.
They possess a presence that cannot be denied. Leadership comes naturally, along with comfort in one’s own skin. It is hard to manipulate this individual or sway their opinions. The determination this position bestows is far too great to be overcome by any force. Highly ambitious, these natives will work long and hard to achieve what they want in life.
Adversely, natives are egotistical, their individualism often taken to extremes. Despite their air of confidence, these natives are actually quite self-conscious. It can be difficult not to become consumed with the worries of others’ impressions and thoughts. This is especially true when the Sun is afflicted. Such a position leads to compulsiveness and a hunger for power.
Sun in the 2nd House
The House of Possessions
Unlike the Sun in the 1st House which leads to natives taking great pride in their appearance and abilities, the native of the Sun in the 2nd House leads to pride in possessions. Natives are driven to pursue material goods and financial security above all else.
They are determined, faithful, and have strong values. With this determination and drive, they pursue financial wealth. How they obtain their wealth depends on the Sun sign - ie. Sun in Gemini may indicate the wealth will be obtained through intellectual or communicative pursuits; Sun in Virgo may indicate caring for others as a doctor, nurse, or something similar.
Though they seek material possessions, they are typically not unreasonable with their money. Financial security trumps all else. Still, they may not understand that this wealth should be used to actually benefit them rather than satisfy temporary desires above true needs. Despite this focus on money, natives are not greedy but instead quite magnanimous.
There is a tendency to be far too materialistic and superficial. Natives must realize that they cannot believe their worth comes from themselves, not from the objects they surround themselves with. They must shift their pride from the manifestation of their hard work to the hard work itself.
When afflicted, this position may lead to squandering money or the feeling that the native is not worthy of love.
Sun in the 3rd House
House of the Mind
This position drives the native to achieve greatness through intellectualism, academia, and the like. Mental accomplishments define the native’s identity.
The precise nature of this knowledge may shift depending on the sign the Sun is in - ie. Aquarius would suggest scientific endeavors, while Scorpio may lead the native into the occult or psychology, or Capricorn into business. Overall, however, there is a scientific bent to whatever it is the native pursues. This also applies to their curiosity: Natives are highly investigative and driven to learn new, unique things.
Often, they are driven to travel, exploring the world and the many cultures it holds. Restlessness often plagues them, and they are left feeling as if they must be doing something at all times.
Friendship and communication are highly important to this native. Unlike the Houses before it, the 3rd House inspires the native to take pride in relationships. The native often has a unique knack for relating to others, and makes friends with ease. Their open minded nature also contributes to this ease.
Affliction leads to intellectual superiority complexes and the desire to force their beliefs on others. They can be extremely impatient with others, as well.
Sun in the 4th House
The House of Family
Pride in heritage and family is key to natives of this position. The home becomes a symbol of their pride and worth. They seek to showcase their ties and history.
This can also manifest in an interest in the land itself. Gardening, natural resources, and the like are of great importance to them.
The desire to be the head of the family is common. Much of the native’s energy is devoted to the home and family, and if their personal life is not in order they cannot focus on anything else until it is. The foundation of the family and home is one that supports them in all areas of life.
Within the first part of their life, there will be difficulties, and in the second part, prosperity. This is typically because natives understand they must plan ahead, and focus on the future instead of immediate pleasure.
Defensiveness and secrecy are common in these natives. When afflicted, this position leads to a struggle with parents and partners. They can be dictatorial in the home.
Sun in the 5th House
The House of Pleasure
When the Sun’s energy is directed into the 5th House, the native’s pride and power is their creativity. They desire - and truly need - to be recognized for this creativity.
Not only drawn to the arts, natives are often physical. They are interested in sports, and arts that combine the two such as dance. Their nature is competitive, as well, which manifests in these areas.
Romance, drama, and popularity seem to surround these natives. They have an air of regality more often than not, and their brightness draws in others. Their great sense of loyalty contributes to this, as well.
Children often play important roles in their life in one way or another.
Love is intense for these natives, and sometimes all consuming. When the Sun is in Taurus or Scorpio, possessiveness may overwhelm their relationships.
Egocentric and at times far too individualistic, natives often are taken down by their risky behavior and lack of sense. Natives seek adventure and action in life, which can sometimes be dangerous. There is a naivety that characterizes this position and can be hard to grow out of.
Sun in the 6th House
The House of Health
For these natives, pride stems from service. The identity is shaped by how the individual can contribute to society and directly to those around them. They must assist others in order to feel fulfilled and confident in themselves.
Because they take such pride in their work, these natives are hard working but somewhat difficult to work with. They need to feel appreciated, and to receive appreciation for this hard work. When this does not occur, there are often feelings of resentment that form.
They often need to keep busy in one way or another because they feel useless when not doing something.
This position often negatively affects health, ironically. The native may find it necessary to stick to strict diets in order to stay healthy. When well aspected, this position does lead to an innate understanding of their own health and the health of others. When afflicted, the position instead leads to a struggle to understand this part of their identity at all.
Natives must learn that their work should not be their identity in whole. They need a life outside of constant work, and a way to define themselves when not working. Their perfectionism can be difficult to manage, and actively hurt them. Anxiety can be so great it is detrimental to their health.
Sun in the 7th House
The House of Partnership
Pride and identity is found through close relationships. Marriage is their focus, and takes up a great deal of their energy. They take great care to ensure their partners are happy and healthy, making a great partner themselves.
Natives possess negotiation skills, the ability to harmonize with others, and motivation to form positive relationships with everyone they meet. They do their bests when working with others in all areas of life. Sharing experiences is highly enjoyable to them.
When the Sun is well aspected, they easily attract good friends. Their charm is great, and they are typically highly considerate of others.
Rejection can be extremely intense for these natives. Often, these natives put the needs of others above their own, causing themselves great pain and suffering at times. They can even lose themselves in relationships as they identify so strongly with their associations with others.
Sun in the 8th House
The House of Depth
When the Sun is in the 8th House, the native is drawn to the mysteries of the universe. Religion, spirituality, occultism, and the like are all areas of interest. This interest typically develops over the native’s lifetime, and may not be present right away.
Their energy is so powerfully directed to these areas that the natives are grounded in these areas of life, stabilized by these beliefs. They not only take pride in these beliefs, they are empowered by them.
As the 8th House also rules transformation, natives typically seek to evolve and grow in all areas of life, and take great pride in this ability to change. Not only this, but this position is quite severe, forcing the native to grow through quite difficult life lessons. This often involves the relinquishing, or death, of a part of the being.
Often, these individuals will begin as selfish or egotistical and be forced to transform into a more open, understanding, and beautiful being.
There is a certain magnetism about this native that draws others to them. This can be used to benefit the native throughout life.
Emotions are carefully controlled as they are so powerful. The native understands the great influence of emotion, and thus they understand that emotion can be a weapon.
When ill aspected, natives can seek money through unscrupulous means and be quite dangerous.
Sun in the 9th House
House of Philosophy
The native of this position is greatly interested in philosophy: Higher education, religion, law, etc. Overall, there is an interest in society, and influencing it.
There is a draw to other cultures, travel, and exploration unless the Sun sign is Fixed. Even if they never travel, these natives often have a knack for learning languages.
Even if the native is not religious, they often have strong morals and values from which they refuse to sway - even if these morals are misguided. Their ideals are quite grand, and they are impatient to reach them. This can lead to naivete and self-righteousness. Despite this, the native can grow into an open-minded, adventurous, and curious individual.
When afflicted, this position inspired dictatorial behavior, eccentric religious beliefs, or struggles in higher education. They can also be highly condescending and attempt to force their morals on others, even if they are hypocritical.
Sun in the 10th House
House of Status
Responsibility and authority are at the center of this individual’s identity. Natives defines themselves by their success and recognition. Ambition, power, and authority are highly important in their lives.
These natives will work remarkably hard to reach their goals. There is nothing that can stop them when they set their sights on something they desire.
Natives are so wrapped up in concepts of honor and dignity that they refuse to lower themselves even slightly, however.
This is actually a position many politicians possess as it bestows dignity and strong will. On the other hand, this also applies to their morals. They believe they are meant to serve as an example, and act as if they are always being watched in a sense; in many ways this is true, as others will look up to them.
Being lower than others is a struggle for them, and for this reason they must seek jobs in which they are in control. Their leadership abilities are strong, and when they nurture this aspect of themselves they can do great things.
There is a tendency to become wrapped up in material goods. The native’s arrogance is often their downfall, so they must take great steps to control this part of themselves. This is especially true when the Sun is afflicted, and the native may even resort to unscrupulous methods in order to achieve power.
Sun in the 11th House
House of Friendship
Humanitarianism is the most distinct aspect of this position. The native is intensely devoted to equality, and highly empathetic to the plight of others. The concept of human dignity is one that truly shapes the native and inspires them to help others in whatever ways they can manage. Natives take great pride in this part of their lives, too, seeing their devotion to humanity as honorable.
Society in general is the focus of this native. Friendship, group activities, and similar affairs define them. It is not social status that they seek, but connections with others, and many connections will be made.
The openness and tolerance granted by this position draws people in. Not only this, but the native adapts to social situations with grace and ease. It is all too easy for this native to form friendships, but the only issue is that they can be shallow, not truly deep. While these natives can make quick friends, they can also quickly leave.
The native desires to work in groups, and thus gain recognition through groups. This position also inspires scientific and, sometimes, occult interests.
In cases of affliction, the native either uses friends for their own gain or is used.
Sun in the 12th House
The House of the Subconscious
This is a highly introspective position. Natives are focused on their own mental state and identity, and occasionally that of others through psychology or psychic interests. This is where they may serve others, and experience personal fulfillment.
Comfort truly comes from assisting others, the compassion and care bestowed by this placement is so great. Despite this, the individual can find it hard to interact with others directly as they are so shy, particularly if the Sun is afflicted in this House.
The Sun’s energy, when directed in such a naturally dark place, can prove far too much. There is a conflict when the outgoing Sun meets the internal, hidden 12th House. The native can feel torn between these two natures. Individuals with this placement are often unnecessarily hard on themselves, as well.
There is a tendency to avoid the spotlight, instead moving behind the scenes. Alone time is needed to regroup quite often.
Self-pity can plague the native, as can lack of confidence.

Oracle Decks 101 🕯🌿
As my new found love for oracle decks bloom, I wanted to make a basic information page for them! It’s not much, but I needed to write this down somewhere so I don’t forget it since I don’t have a book for my many witchy info at the moment. <3
What are oracle decks? ✨
Oracle decks are a divination tool used to predict and answer your inner questions! They’re cards with depictions and specific meanings to aid you with answers.
What’s the difference between oracle decks and tarot decks?
The main difference between tarot decks and oracle decks is that tarot decks have a specific set of rules and structure to them. Tarot decks usually have 78 cards, whilst oracle decks can have as many or as little cards as the creator wants. Oracle decks don’t have rules or structures either. Tarot decks are very “strict” you could say while oracle decks are “free”.
Oracle decks have specific themes to them. And some oracle decks are created for a specific use (but they can still be used generally if that’s what you wish.)
Another difference I’ve personally seen, is that oracle decks are way more intuitive evoking and easier to read than because of how simple the oracle card’s message is, usually decks that have sentences on them.
Oracle decks are very straightforward. They tell you about the whole situation and what may come while tarot decks just tell you why it’s happening and how it’s happening. An example that always helps me remember what these two divination tools are used for is to always remember that tarot decks are telling the story and oracle decks ARE the story (credit to biddytarot.com for that an example, it’s a lifesaver)
Remember: tarot decks aren’t better than oracle decks and vise versa. It’s all based on personal preference and how you connect to the divination tool. I suggest trying both out and seeing which form of divination you feel helps you best.
What are they best used for?
Deity/spirit communication
Spreads (made for tarot or not, they work just as well with oracle cards)
Decision making
Daily draws
Past, present, future
General readings
Seriously oracle decks can be used for just about ANYTHING. Don’t limit yourself honestly, they work really great with almost every spread and question you have in mind.
What are some good oracle decks for beginners?
Personally, I think a first timer can go for any oracle deck they desire as that’s how you create a bond with your deck and find it easier to read the deck. So my first recommendation would be to get the oracle deck that calls out to you; you won’t be sorry.
If you want to make sure you have an easy first experience I really suggest finding oracle decks that have sentences on them! They make the card really easier to understand!
So with that being said, I suggest the “Work Your Light” oracle deck! It’s very straightforward with a “Yes” and “No” card included with its cards and the illustration is beautiful! Not only is it very pretty, but it includes woc and incorporates a lot of religions.
Goddess guidance oracle deck is another great beginner deck! It shows many goddesses from different pantheons respectfully and the illustrations are very beautiful! The cards themselves have those sentences at the bottom which are always handy in immediately knowing what the card is about when you pull it in a reading.
Magickal messages from the faeries oracle deck. This deck, obviously, is very faery based! Now, you can use it for communication with the fae or just in general.
The power of surrender cards. Like most of the cards I’ve listed off, this deck is very easy to interpret and understand when you draw cards. Very great for beginners!!!
How do I cleanse my oracle deck?
Knock on your deck three times
Cleanse with moonlight
Put a crystal on your deck
Blow onto it
Set it on your/or your deity’s alter
Sing to it
Shuffle it with cleansing intention
Wave it through incense smoke
Set your deck near your plants
Cleansing with sound

what signs do I attract?
this is a question that gets asked a lot around here - so I thought I’d give a quick run-down on some parts of your chart that you can look at for attraction!
💐 we tend to attract those who have personal planets in these signs:
1. Sign on 7th House Cusp ☯
a.k.a. the descendant, here we attract what we’re not = “opposites attract”.
2. Sign on 11th House Cusp 🥂
the house of friendships/social circles; people with this sign may admire you and be your biggest fans!
3. Sign on 5th House Cusp 💞
house of love and pleasure - this is the type of energy you are romantically drawn to.
4. Venus Sign ♀
usually will get along great with people who have this sign. the bond is typically super quick!
5. Mars Sign ♂
you may not always get along with this sign but you find them always popping up in your life.
6. Eros 💥
your eros is super drawn to those with personal planets in the opposite sign. it’s an instant, raw attraction.
💐 you may also find yourself attracting a lot the element you lack.
of course, you can dig way deeper than this, and as always, aspects will always play a role as well 😍
