𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐧 ♀ 𖤓 when this aspect happens in someone's chart, it means that the attention of other people really does matter to them, even if they try to make it seem like it does not. but it makes sense because the sun is something that impacts everything around them thus the reaction of other people could be something you are used to. however to become more confident, you have to remember you are still whole without the attention of other people, the praise and compliments from others when it comes to your beauty or your style should not be the thing that fills you up; it has to be an addition. your confidence has to come from something you already know you are, not what other people tell you.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧 ♀ ☽ to have this aspect means that you are someone who could be okay with dimming your light for other people because you are emotionally sensitive. you are very empathetic, which can lead you into situations that allow you to be walked over by other people. stop dismissing the compliments of others and remember that you are allowed to be worshipped. do not hold back your feelings because someone else does not have the capacity for it. people who have this aspect need to comprehend that they are enough for other people as they are enough for themselves. allow yourself to be in touch with things that make you feel comfortable and deep in your emotional space, allow yourself to want to feel pretty.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐲 ♀☿️ those who have this aspect in their chart do not need to keep up with everything and everyone all the time. it is okay to let go and be comfortable in the speed you are at. this could also entail that you can reach your confidence by not holding back your expressive side through fashion or make-up. so what if your make-up is colourful or odd? you are someone who should remember that you are allowed to express your feelings and even frustrations with beauty and romance, since you are so nervous about everything, you tend to bottle everything up. but if you feel like you don't have anyone to speak to yet, do a journal, speak to yourself, and even voice-note it. you'll notice the difference when you no longer have pressure on your shoulders.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐬 ♀♂ some people who have this aspect might not like to hear this, but you need to stop associating your values with men or through masculine things. you are allowed to value both yin and yang in your life without looking down on one or the other. people who have this aspect are usually very stylish and express their confidence through fashion or beauty, but remember, things do not need to be a competition. remember why you have passions and goals in life and remind yourself that you shouldn't measure your success, your allure, and your popularity against other people, or you will continue feeling frustrated about expressing both sides of yourself, or love, beauty, and self-confidence.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 ♀♄ when this aspect appears in people's charts, the harsh truth is yes, your beauty is going to come in its own time but when it appears, it is going to be the prettiest bouquet. this is the type of beauty that lasts compared to other people, and I am not trying to stir competition im saying it in a manner of, when there's trendy beauty going in and out, people who have this aspect embody the type of look that always stays standing as time passes by. this aspect means that the majority of the people who have this in their chart have a hard time feeling their own special allure, and that comes with the territory of this aspect. you have to go through the lessons of feeling "ugly" to understand what it means to entirely comprehend beauty that is not shallow and superficial, but is also about self-peace and self-belonging, and once you realise that your beauty belongs to yourself, you become unstoppable.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐮𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 ♀♃ this aspect means that you are someone who gives love so much to other people, but you forget to give it to yourself, or it can go the other way round. balance is important here, and how you impact people emotionally and socially is prominent with this type of aspect, because philosophy, when it comes to love, is a big tool with how you interact with yourself and with other people. you are someone who needs to remember that the love you have is a gift, and you should never stop giving it to yourself, though another thing you have to remember is that there is so much in life you have to learn, so do not think everything is over when it comes to your social or romantic life, and even the "progress" of your beauty. with the Jupiterian influence, this means that you are supposed to be trying things until they finally suit you not because you have to settle with the mentality other people try to put into you.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐬 ♀♅ to have this aspect is to comprehend that the second you could understand words and behaviour from other people, you understood that you stood out because it is likely something other people continuously picked on you about. this is the aspect where individuals are too ahead, juxtaposed to the individuals they are around. on the other hand, to learn your confidence and security you have to learn how to tame your ego that wants to be different than people all the time because if you dont you'll find yourself trying to keep up wit all types of people and instead of being happy with what makes you unique currently, you might become too bothered on how other people can creative innovative ideas and ways to treat themselves before you.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞 ♀♆ when this aspect appears in someone's chart, it means that you are someone who needs to understand what you want and to stop going along with the ride because it means you are less lonely. to gain confidence, you have to learn that merging with other people does not mean you have to lose your identity or your values and what makes you beautiful. you are someone who is allowed to adopt different ideas and aesthetics, but that does not mean you have to forget your roots because you want to run away from the feelings and thoughts that make you face the root of your need to be with someone, to feel beautiful, or to feel needed. understand that your confidence does not specifically come from your connections but from your ability to bring what you thought was lost in you back into reality.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐨 ♀♇ this aspect can mean that you are someone who can go through many self-destructive eras due to beauty. this aspect speaks of an obsession with attaining beauty to the point you forget about the self-help lessons you are supposed to go through to actually healthfully embody the attributes you want to display as an evolved version of yourself. this aspect requests you to calm down, stop being so fast, and stop being so scared about the fact that you won't embody the version you want yourself to be in time, because when you are too busy focusing on that, you lose track of focus. understand where your obsession with romance and beauty has come from, comprehend that you are way more than what people might've said to you in the past. people who have this aspect usually have intense interactions with other people when it comes to beauty or romance which could've impacted your connection to your confidence to be more of a power-trip than something that adds onto your allure. you have to remember that you are way more than your looks if you don't, you will always associate your looks with why you gain attention from other people and not the fact that you are a powerful force in people's lives and your own.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐞 ♀☊ similar to venus aspecting pluto. north node and venus making a connection means that you are someone who prioritises Venusian themes and qualities. it could be something that dictates your life that when you feel like you are not involving yourself in Venusian qualities, you could feel as if you are letting yourself down. romance and beauty could be something that angers you, you could feel like you let yourself and other people down if you are not following the standard of what beauty and even what femininity should be like. what this aspect is saying is that for you to feel confident, you have to make your own version and caliber of beauty. you also need to take care of yourself, your insecurities, and what makes you to feel inadequate. just pushing forward and acting as if you are better than looking at what makes you competitive and insecure does benefit no one.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐞 ♀☋ when this aspect appears in someone's reading, it means that these people lose themselves in beauty standards or lose their respect to gain the attention of someone they are crushing on. this is quite similar to Venus aspecting Neptune because both energies can imply feelings of isolation and being lost, so when the object finds something it could center around, it attaches itself to the new foundation to never feel lonely anymore. however, how this can make an individual less secure is that they could fall into patterns of involving themselves with people and situations that do not emotionally fulfill them all because they don't want to be alone. in other people's theories, this is an indicator of having a karmic love life from the past that you have to heal in this lifetime, or it will continue to torment you. on the brighter side this is a very musical placement.
ꨄ 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐬 ꨄ
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭/𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 ꨄ this aspect means that you are someone who sometimes feels like you have to perform for other people instead of pursuing things that make you as a whole happy. you might've been someone who was introduced to the structure of beauty, "femininity" at a young age, so when you are interacting with people or just things you like, you might measure it against how feminine you are. to become more confident, you have to become someone who lives through beauty and life for yourself and not for the expectations and standards of other people. remember your beauty belongs to yourself; you don't have to be like everyone else.
𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐞𝐥𝐢/𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 ꨄ to have this aspect in your chart means that a more emotional and angrier side of femininity could've been disciplined out of you so there could be insecurity about expressing your feelings towards someone without feeling or thinking that you are being too much for others. to feel more confident you have to stop feeling awkward about liking the things you like, many of you could feel as if other people are going to be making fun of your interests when you speak about them and sometimes this aspect could make people embody the trait of thinking that they're so deep and different which makes them alone but that's not always the case.
thank you so much for reading this post!
My life improved so much when I started forcing myself to do things: forcing myself to exercise, to cook from scratch; forcing myself to go to the movies or to museums alone, to wear that really cute outfit just to run errands; forcing myself to read a book, to strike up a conversation with a stranger, to ask for a raise.
Once you begin forcing yourself to do the things that you had been too scared or too lazy to do, you feel a sense of accomplishment that gives you momentum to do even more. It gets easier to get out of your comfort zone & to do hard things.
i convince myself through conversations with my cat, as it can feel gentler than saying i'm "forcing" myself to do something i don't want to do. because ultimately, the healthy choice will be worth it. so i will turn to my cat and say, "should i get up now? head to the gym? do the laundry? wash the dishes? take meds? go to therapy? call the doctor?" and we go back and forth and i imagine she's reminding me why i do want to take care of myself and make my life better. now i look at my cat and we both just know.

Placements/aspects with the highest sex drives according to my observations 👀
╰━━━ ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ ━━━╯
click here to read reviews from my readings + book yours
disclaimer: your entire chart matters 😭. one placement alone won’t decide your libido and this isn’t about who has the “best” sex drive. these are simply patterns i’ve noticed after reading charts and talking to people over the years. take what resonates and leave what doesn’t 🤍
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ mars in scorpio
nah because everybody expects me to say this one… but they’re expected for a reason 😭.
this placement doesn’t just have a high sex drive, it can become mentally consumed by attraction when they genuinely want someone. if they don’t like you, they genuinely couldn’t care less. but if they do… it’s like a switch flips. i’ve noticed they don’t separate emotional intimacy and physical attraction very easily either. they don’t usually want random surface-level experiences—they want intensity. they’re the type to randomly remember one interaction from three months ago and still think about it. they’re also surprisingly patient because they enjoy the anticipation almost as much as the actual thing.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ mars in aries
this one gets impatient 😭.
when they want someone, everybody usually knows. they’re not very good at pretending they’re not attracted to you because their energy changes immediately. i’ve noticed this placement usually has a very physical type of attraction. they’re naturally driven by excitement, chemistry and the chase itself. they’re also the type to accidentally flirt without even realising they’re doing it because they enjoy playful tension so much. if they’re attracted to you, expect teasing, challenging you and finding excuses to interact.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ venus conjunct mars
i swear this aspect can have people acting like teenagers around their crush 😭.
the attraction tends to happen incredibly naturally because what they want emotionally and what they want physically are working together instead of against each other. i’ve noticed people with this aspect usually fall into flirting without trying. they’re also the type who can develop a crush ridiculously quickly if the chemistry is there.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ moon conjunct pluto
this one surprises people.
it’s not always obvious on the outside because the moon isn’t mars, but emotionally… whew 😭. i’ve noticed this placement can become deeply attached through intimacy. attraction isn’t usually casual for them. they can replay moments, conversations and eye contact over and over again because they experience emotional and physical attraction very intensely together. if they’re obsessed with you, you’ll probably never know until years later because they’re so good at hiding it.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ mars in taurus
people underestimate this placement so much 😭.
because they move slowly, everyone assumes they have a lower sex drive… absolutely not. i’ve honestly noticed it’s one of the highest. they’re just not impulsive with it. they’re ruled by Venus, they’re fixed, and once they’re attracted to someone it’s incredibly consistent. they don’t wake up one day obsessed and the next day over it. they’re the type to want physical affection constantly when they’re comfortable with someone. if they genuinely love you, they’ll probably always want to be touching you somehow.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ venus in scorpio
this placement is so all-or-nothing.
i’ve noticed they don’t usually crush on loads of people. but when they do like someone… it’s BAD 😭. they can become emotionally, mentally and physically fascinated by one person. they’re also the type to act completely normal while internally they’re thinking about you far more than they’d ever admit.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ mars in cancer
people always sleep on this one because they hear “Cancer” and immediately think soft 😭.
but Mars is in its fall here, which doesn’t make the desire disappear—it often makes it much harder to switch off. Cancer is also a cardinal sign, so once this placement wants someone they can be surprisingly persistent. i’ve noticed their attraction gets stronger through emotional closeness. the safer they feel with someone, the higher their physical desire usually becomes. they’re also very affectionate people once they’re comfortable and can genuinely crave closeness more than they realise.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ venus trine pluto
this aspect can become fascinated with people.
they’ll notice tiny details about someone they’re attracted to that nobody else would even think about. i’ve noticed they’re usually very loyal once feelings develop because attraction for them rarely stays surface level. it becomes psychological too.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ mars in capricorn
this placement has ridiculous self-control… which tricks everyone into thinking they don’t have a high sex drive 😭.
they absolutely do.
they’re just very disciplined about when, where and with who they express it. Capricorn is a cardinal sign, so once they decide they want someone they can be incredibly determined. i’ve noticed they’re the type who can seem completely unbothered on the outside while internally they’re thinking about you way more than you’d ever guess. they don’t waste energy chasing everyone they’d rather focus on one person they’re genuinely interested in.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ mars opposite pluto
the intensity here is honestly ridiculous.
i’ve noticed these people often describe attraction as something they physically feel rather than something they simply think about. chemistry tends to become all-consuming very quickly and they can struggle switching those feelings off once they’re there.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ 8th house mars
this placement usually doesn’t experience attraction in a casual way.
it’s either “you’re attractive” or “why have i been thinking about you every day for two weeks?” 😭. i’ve noticed they become curious about people first and then the attraction keeps growing the more emotionally invested they become.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ venus opposite neptune
this placement can accidentally make themselves worse by romanticising people 😭.
half the attraction is real and the other half comes from the imagination running wild. i’ve noticed they can build chemistry in their own head before anything has even happened, which somehow makes the attraction feel even stronger.
₊˚⊹♡
🌶️ leo mars
this placement loves feeling desired just as much as they enjoy desiring someone.
i’ve noticed attention genuinely fuels their attraction. the flirting, the compliments, the lingering eye contact… it all makes the chemistry stronger. they’re also surprisingly playful and can turn almost anything into flirting without meaning to.
₊˚⊹♡
i’ve noticed one thing over and over again while reading charts…
people with genuinely high sex drives usually aren’t the loudest about it 😭.
a lot of the time it’s the people acting completely normal while internally they’re fighting for their lives every time their crush walks into the room.
Thank you for reading xxx
PLACEMENTS I CONSIDER A BLESSING IN YOUR NATAL CHART 🪄
MERCURY IN THE 7TH HOUSE/ASPECTING VENUS
The socialites. They read people in real time and adjust themselves accordingly. Persuasive in a way that you dont even notice that they are persuading you. They can disarm the most stubborn and suspiscious of people. Knows exactly what to say and exactly how to say it. They make communication an artform. A pleasant voice making you feel bad for arguing with them. They make people feel heard and respected. They dont win arguments by yelling they win by making you agree with them.
VENUS IN THE 10TH HOUSE
The Queen Bee. Commands admiration & respect. Their image feels impossible to destroy. Seen as someone of value. The perfect armcandy. Someone you want others to see you with because they make you look good by association. They carry themselves in a way that comes across as soft but dominant at the same time. You better speak highly of them, nobody will believe you if you dont, they made sure of that. Squeaky clean image.
MOON TRINE/SEXTILE SATURN
The master of emotional discipline. The one who would never let feelings cloud their judgment. They know when to talk & when to be quiet. Unshakable in a way that makes you embarressed being dramatic around them. Deadly calm under pressure. While you panic, they are figuring out the solution.
VENUS IN THE 1ST HOUSE
The beloved one. Undeniably attractive. Effortlessly feminine. Approachable but not easy, soft but not meek, kind but no pushover. Just perfect. You dont only like them because of how you feel around them but also for how you become around them. They make you inspired to be more patient, polite, kind and soft just by being around them. You want to be as good as them. They are harmonious in a way that you feel guilty just raising your voice around them.
MOON TRINE VENUS
The adored one. Very very well liked. Especially among women. I call this the worship aspect because these people awake a worship kind of behaviour in other people. Whenever they are in conflict with someone people tend to take their side. People just want to protect them. Effortless charm. They dont chase popularity it just happens. They ooze a genuine kindness that makes you feel safe around them. They have a calming presence that softens any possible tension.

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).
Yes, I was tearing through books constantly, and talking to this teacher at least weekly. Because even though I always loved reading as a kid, literature was always a very weak subject for me in terms of a teaching-to-standardized-test school setting (I just do awful on "what color were the curtains" type multiple choice questions. Those details don't stick in my memory THEY JUST DON'T). But that didn't matter for this class. I could just read my way out of any bad test score. I have always had fond memories of how I "fudged" my way through that class and "abused' the extra credit policy.
I was thinking about it again today, and only just now realized that he absolutely tricked me into being well-read, while my teenage self thought I was totally getting away with something. THAT MOTHERFUCKER. I hope he's doing well.
august you are so gentle to me

look at this diva
the placement in your chart that's secretly running your life entirely ♡
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨
a little observation post because everyone seems to obsess over their big three, but honestly, it's usually the placements no one talks about that are ruling the entire chart.
• your moon sign is doing more work than your sun ever has. like… your sun is who you are on paper, but your moon is who you are at 1am when no one's watching in your room and what you're doing EXACTLY. the way you self-soothe, the way you panic, the foods you crave when you're sad, it's all moon. people will date your sun and then break up with your moon hehe.
• your mercury runs your relationships more than your venus does, and nobody talks about this. you can have the sweetest venus in the world but if your mercury can't communicate it, it doesn't land. the way you text, the way you argue, the way you go quiet, that's the placement people actually experience. though the REASON why you broke up, could be your venus' and mercury's fault.
• your rising sign is literally your face. like the energy people pick up in the first three seconds before you've said anything. it's also why two people with the same sun sign can feel completely different in a room. though I can always spot a sagittarius rising in a room.
• your chart ruler (the planet that rules your rising) is honestly the main character of your chart and most people don't even know which one is theirs. if your rising is taurus, your venus is running everything. if your rising is scorpio, your mars and pluto are basically co-piloting your life. it explains so much once you find it. and once you'll figure it out (or ask me to do it), focus on those exact planets more, they literally rule your entire chart to begin with.
• your saturn placement is the thing you're quietly insecure about but also the thing you'll become weirdly excellent at by your thirties. it's the area of life where you feel behind for years and then suddenly everyone's asking you for advice about it.
• your moon's house placement tells you where you emotionally live. like literally, 4th house moons need a home base, 7th house moons need a person, 11th house moons need their friends, 12th house moons need to disappear for a week every so often. it's not personality, it's emotional infrastructure.
• your venus sign is less about who you love and more about how you want to be loved. and most people are out here giving their partners venus-in-their-own-sign love instead of venus-in-their-partner's-sign love, which is why everyone feels slightly unseen idk.
• your mars is the placement that exposes you the fastest. how you flirt, how you fight, how you chase, how you give up. you can fake every other placement in your chart but your mars shows up the second you want something. ESPECIALLY if it rules your chart.
• your 12th house placements are the things you don't even know you're doing. they're the patterns other people notice about you before you do. it's the most honest part of your chart and also the part you have the least access to, which is so cruel of the universe honestly!
• and your north node? that's the placement that feels uncomfortable on purpose. it's the version of you that you're growing into, which is why it feels like wearing someone else's clothes for most of your twenties.
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿୨
honestly half the people i read for come in asking about their sun sign and leave realizing their entire life makes sense because of one placement they'd never heard of ♡
reading slots are open btw, birth charts, synastry, composite and the price list is in my pinned for anyone who wants to dig through their own chart first!
love you all, thank you for reading ♡
the doctor says i got an attention deficit so y'all gotta gimme more
