December Transits: Create, Love, Heal

Alright, tumblr! It got no interest and wordpress won’t let me post it from docs without crashing, so you’re in luck because I never post my shit here anymore. Here’s how your December is going to go.

Starting with 1st of December, there already appears to be a heavy Neptunian vibe to month as Pisces Mars at 9 degrees approaches Pisces Neptune at 13 degrees, both direct. The initial gut feeling going into December is to raise into our dreamlands and try to make something of our dreams, with both being direct, this likely taking a physical show. Maybe you finally start a new blog, look for a new job, or take up a craft.

Capricorn Saturn at 7 degrees adds a touch of realism through a sextile. Whilst we reach for our dreams, Saturn is quietly tying the strings, reminding us to do things properly this time around. As Pisces raises ahead with the masterpiece, Capricorn is still just one step in front, pencilling in the foundations.

This transit will be especially felt by people with mutable placements around the 9-13 degree mark.

Gemini and Sagittarius placements will be square this and so may experience a blockaid and frustration with making that fantastical energy work for them. Virgo placements will be at first uneasy to it, as it feels strange to them, but for everything in their power to harness it. Pisces at this degree will be affected intensely, maybe not noticing the swing of Mars approaching Neptune and their actions affected by it.

Cancer or Scorpio placements in this degree radius will benefit from this, their creative or physical pursuits being affirmed. To a similar effect, Taurus and Capricorn in this radius will gain a light burst of effective, optimistic energy.

Adding to the optimistic rolling on of opportunity and ambition is Sagittarius Sun at 8 degrees conjunct Sagittarius Jupiter at 5 degrees. December is a time of confidence and luck, it’s a time to finally believe in yourself and reach for the impossible! If you have Sagittarius placements in this degree orb, they are being activated by solarian shine and jupiterian will power.

For those of the first decan Sagittarius Pluto generation, there’s going to be a pull to destroy and recreate. To set fire to old projects, ways or relationships. It is so important to take a step back from this powerful transit, analyse what you’re doing first, then to harness that energy and thrust into action.

It’s also key to note that Mercury is in retrograde away from this intense conjunction. Whereas these days before, you’ve been able to communicate your ego or self so much better than before, by December, this power to plan and communicate this energy will be slowly coming out of our grasps.

On a similar note, both these Sagittarius and Pisces transits are mutable and so a valuable thing to remember at this time is it is okay to lose that spark. Mutable energy often flames out at hurdles, rethinks, and tries again. If you feel it dwindle, remember it is vital to not abandon entirely because right now is the time to get things done with success and good luck. Dreams can be accomplished!

As far as relationships go, we need to be aware there will likely be changes, and that’s okay. This can also be said about our relationship with ourselves, our styles, our talents. This is because 29 degree Libra Venus is opposite 29 degree Aries Uranus. The cardinal nature of this opposition swings their disagreement into action, forcing us to find a way to balance outer change with inner love and beauty. If your relationship with people or partners appears to hit a turn, flow with it and grow through it! Oppositions are about adaptation and finding the middle ground.

Aries Uranus Note: It is a time of beautiful change as we enter into Taurus Uranus. Some good reads linked below!

Taurus Uranus Thought Forum

Aries Uranus will also be square Cancer North Node at 28 degrees. We could be seeing our paths in front of us, but watching the scenery on them change drastically. Hurdles may be put in our ways. Ultimately, December presents us the question “do I want this?” and this tough square is going to make us decide. For those with personals, Midheavens or North Nodes that sit around the 26-2 degree mark of these signs or signs aspecting this, December is going to bring a jolt. It’s going to be important to breathe and reflect on what you want. The union of Aries and Cancer asks us to reflect emotionally and instinctively, specifically in this one on our chosen paths in life. It may be the time to reconsider what you’re studying or the job you’re doing. A time to finally gain the confidence to undertake that class or new skill!

By 10th December, we have lost the Sagittarius energy from our ambitions, but the optimistic creativity and drive of our initial Pisces transit is still going strong. Venus is now 4 degrees Scorpio and any relationship hurdles have found their way to a brighter pasture.

Whilst we still have that Pisces energy, it’s suddenly battling with Sagittarius Sun at 17 degrees. At this time, those new projects we have started are going to dive under the feeling that maybe we can’t do it. Gemini or Virgo placements at 15-17 degrees will be forming a tight t-square with the Sagittarius and Pisces transits. But don’t worry! Don’t let head first Sagittarius make the decisions! Think rationally, and instead of destroying any projects or new ideas, place them to one side and return to them once your head has cleared.

At this time, we are greeted by a very interesting grand trine. This will be very important to those with water placements around 24-28 degrees. Cancer North Node at 27 degrees trine Pisces Chiron at 27 degrees trine Scorpio Mercury at 28 degrees. To sum this one up before we analyse it: “My words have come from pain, but they are made of light” If you’ve been suffering lately, it’s finally time to turn it into words and workings which can lead you one step further on your journey. This time may inspire our watery friends to open up to us, to invest emotional wisdom in us, and take us under their wings. The significance of Mercury here is that previous pains (Chiron) and future steps (North Node) are bound by work processes, friendship and communication (Mercury). Come mid December, it’s a brilliant time to listen to those around you and hear out their stories. Old pains is being turned into new lessons which are going to positively change how we deal with our own futures.

Another positive in mid December shines upon our love lives. Taurus Juno at 21 degrees retrograde trine Capricorn Pluto at 19 degrees direct. It’s likely we have been stashing away dreams and ideas of our ideal lover, hoping they exist, and this trine to Pluto is here to add some love magic to everyone’s lives. Small beams of romantic transformation could be peaking into your life. This goes especially for those with Venus or Juno in earth at similar degrees to these transits.

By the 20th December, we also say goodbye to our idealistic Pisces energy and instead say hello to dreamy romance with Scorpio Venus at 12 degrees trine Pisces Neptune at 13 degrees. There’s going to be someone on your mind. Perhaps the same someone that our still-present earth trine whispered to us about. They talk of Christmas love and this transit is truly going to make us feel it! Mistletoe, anyone? Enough said!

Now… Christmas Day!

Christmas Day is a 4 degree Leo Moon. This is great news for early decan fire anything. The sun is ruling the emotions of the day and so it’s safe to call it a time to shine. Let someone know you love them, hold family and friends dearly, and smile for that photo! This Christmas is a day of pure jovial confidence.

We’re still thinking obsessively about loved ones with our earth trine and water trine, but there’s also a very pleasant energy why is within us that we would’ve felt on the lead up week to Christmas: Capricorn Sun at 4 degrees trine Aries Uranus at 29 degrees. The week or two before this date, we began feeling a shifted ego. Our self took on a new form and Christmas begins to ease us out into that form, reborn from this passing transit. “New year, new me” may finally be a thing!

Also… Don’t think you’re about to hear the end of anything this Christmas: Sagittarius Mercury at 10 degrees is conjunct Sagittarius Jupiter at 13 degrees! It is definitely a loud, chatty Christmas! Stories, jokes, bounding laughter, this year is filled with Sagittarian charisma which is going to warm every smile.

Finally, New Year’s Eve.

At first, it’s probably going to feel hard to loosen up with Capricorn Sun at 9 degrees conjunct Capricorn Saturn at 11 degrees. It’s probably going to mean stupid work calls or drunk-too-early friends for a few people. Once we learn Saturn can strengthen our ego and make us all boss ass bitches, hopefully our nights can loosen up.

Whilst we all laugh and party, the stars have set up a very serious message for us. Pisces Chiron at 28 degrees conjunct Pisces Mars at 29 degrees. This New Year, we end on a very poignant message: it is truly time to heal from our wounds. Mars is going to actively nurse Chiron, encouraging us to stitch up the dark pieces we still hold and go into 2019 fighting. Cancer North Node at 26 degrees trines this and reassures us it is okay to move on.

On a tiny note, Scorpio Venus at 22 degrees is opposite Taurus Juno at 20 degrees, so it’s maybe not a good idea to call your new crush the love of your life this New Year. With Sagittarius Jupiter at 11 degrees square Pisces Neptune at 14 degrees, it’s possible our previous illusion of them is actually smashed on this night.

Overall, December is going to kick us to finally achieve our dreams and validate ourselves! Neptunian romances which have the ability to blossom into more wait ahead of us. But, with all the Jupiterian excitement early on, it is vital to let your mind wind down after Christmas and take on the true meaning of 2018: it is time to leave your suffering behind.

Moon & Mars: Experiencing Emotions and Expressing Them

Our moon placements speaks to the inner dialogue of how we feel and experience emotions. However, emotional expressions can manifest in our Mars placement when experiencing raw and strong emotions. This creates an interesting dynamic between moon and Mars; the moon can explain the basic instincts when it comes to interpreting feelings while Mars is how we may act it out. 

Below is how these two placements may be portrayed elementally wise when it comes to ones emotional state vs how they may unleash that to the world. 

Fire moon ☽ (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)-

Fire moons experience emotions quickly. Emotions can be like a wave, it hits them hard but can disappear just as quickly as it surfaced. However, when strong emotions come they are okay with experiencing and owning it. Their passionate minds make it easier for them to feel defensive when the ego is under attack. They can be prone to having their emotional state eat up their entire mind if expression is not released. 

+ Fire Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and fire Mars means strong emotions surface fast and are openly expressed. They own what they are feeling and aren’t as concern as how it may come across at first. They are probably the most honest about how they feel even if the execution isn’t ideal.

+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and earth Mars means they take the raw emotions they are feeling and try to make practical use out of it. The energy gained from emotions can be expressive more productively. They may struggle with the contradictions these elements bring because their fire moon calls for impulsivity, but their earth Mars makes them patient with it.

+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and air Mars means they sit on their emotions before expressing them outwardly. They can take their spontaneous emotions and intellectualize them quicker than others. They are very adaptable to the situation their emotions may have brought them in, but because their fire moons they may need to make damage control a priority. 

+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of fire moon and water Mars means they are well aware with how they are feeling, but don’t want to admit it to others. They are strongly invested with their emotions, but are afraid with how others will view them so expression is passive. However, they are like a boiling pot of water, eventually get them heated enough they will burst. 

Earth moon ☽ (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)-

Earth moons have the tendency to suppress emotions in favor of a more practical view. They aren’t emotionless but may come across stoic or indifferent. They seek stability for themselves and others as well so when that is threaten they may feel the most discomfort with their emotions. It takes a lot for them to be honest with emotions and often only shares them with those deemed worthy enough. 

+ Fire Mars ♂️:  A combination of earth moon and fire Mars means they put their emotions into passion and have a strong drive. They handle pain and hurt with productivity, but it may not apparent to others as to why they are behaving the way they are. They may battle with themselves of holding high standards to their emotions while craving the desire of it being shown to others. 

+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of earth moon and earth Mars means they come off as well discipline and hard to sway. This can be intimidating or even inspiring to some. They can have the most control over their emotions and how they are executed. However, they can be the most dishonest about their feelings to themselves and others. 

+ Air Mars ♂️:  A combination of earth moon and Air Mars means they have strong control of emotions and knows how to execute them in a smart and polished way. It takes a lot for them to show aggression and sometimes the way they talk about emotions may seem robotic and rehearsed. Their air Mars allows their more stubborn earth minds to be adaptable in this area as well.

+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of earth moon and water Mars means they struggle being direct with their feelings. They will hold back sharing them and then dance around the truth when it needs to be released. However, it can be scary once tested too far because of how important they take guarding themselves and others they love. 

Air moon ☽ (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)-

Air moons hold emotions to the same standard as oxygen: they know it’s there but they don’t need to really acknowledge its presence. With this standard it can make an air moon feel like they need to intellectualize their emotions so they hold validity. When they actively think about them then it consumes them. Emotional state become unideal when communication is rough with others and they feel others have grown disdain for them.  

+ Fire Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and Fire Mars means the moment their emotions override their control it may be expressed abruptly and unrefined. This can create frustration for them, however they are adept individuals who can get out of the situation they may have created by mistake. They are also skilled in making the outcome desirable for themselves when conflict is resolved. 

+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and earth Mars means they might not communicate all their emotions which could be a good thing cause they say what’s necessary. They have strong filters and are hard to break. They are observant from their air moon which is a resource that the earth Mars utilizes to end tension. 

+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and air Mars means they come off as more graceful with emotions. They can communicate them to be viewed as attractive so it may be received well. This isn’t without consequence however for they may be the most detached to their emotions. They may think a thousand words, but not all of them will be acknowledged and expressed. 

+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of air moon and water Mars means once the emotions have been analyzed they know how to strategically use them to their advantage. Gaining sympathy is their talent, but they do recognize others feelings. Though this should all be taken account after they are honest with themselves and are brave enough to confront it.

Water moon ☽ (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)-

Water moon experience emotions deeper and can understand the layers and complexity it brings. While their strength is admirable, their weakness is holding emotions in until it becomes too much to handle. This isn’t because they avoid emotions, it is the conflicts they may cause to those around they don’t want. Emotions guide what they would and should do. Emotions becomes too much to handle when they feel they are being treated poorly.  

+ Fire Mars ♂️:  A combination of water moon and fire Mars means they navigate life with emotions more openly. Their fire Mars encourage their water moon to let the floodgate open which can be refreshing and necessary for them. Though the lack of premeditation may cause the results they don’t desire. 

+ Earth Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and earth Mars means they value comfort and stability in their emotions greatly and when it becomes disturbed is when they will act on it. They don’t want to be seen as uncomposed so they shed their strong emotions through a shakey voice. They have to fight their imagination in these situations in order to prove they are realistic beings. 

+ Air Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and air Mars means they will hide their emotions until somebody makes them show it. They can manipulate the situation in their favor. On the flip side, an individual who is more developed with these placements may use this power to understand others emotions better. Their air Mars refines what they are thinking before it’s expressed as well. 

+ Water Mars ♂️: A combination of water moon and water Mars means they intuitive with emotions, but struggle with showing the more negative ones. They don’t suppress them they just don’t want them to escalate drama. They be more likely to deal with their emotional state alone because of this. When feelings are expressed to other the result can be the most devastating to see because of how expressive they become.

Zodiac Insecurities

Let’s get introspective and hit insecurities the Rising and Moon could develop. 

Aries Rising can form insecurities around their external confidence and strength. An insecure one will want to appear “all that” by showing off, bragging, maybe acting arrogant. They find insecurity in their ability to establish direction or assertion in the public sphere and might try to dominate space.

Aries Moon insecurities are aimed toward identity and self-worth via winning or conquest. Challenges help Aries Moon develop. Battles and competitions are enticing but can reward their emotional fulfillment or can reassure a self-doubt.

Taurus Rising insecurities can exist in the physical realm with looks, material possessions, and money. Watch for a more insecure Taurus Rising putting an emphasis on weight, beauty, fashion, cars, purses, etc. They could hide their body too.

Taurus Moon has insecurities around security and stability. They cling, is possessive, and territorial over others, places, things, even ideas. They can have a fear of change and losing security that makes them stay in unhealthy relationships.

Gemini Rising insecurities lie in how they communicate, connect, how others judge their intellect and information. You’ll see emphasis on jokes, trend-following, show of intellect, caution of communication or overshare of it with a insecure Gemini Rising.

Gemini Moon insecurities are tied to their intellect, social standing and acceptance, and possible lack of depth or emotional grasp. An insecure Gemini Moon keeps things light and avoids too much self-analyzation. They avoid judgment of others but observe every nuance of others. 

Cancer Rising has insecurities revolving around emotional offenses. They can be shyer, protective of views, maybe judgmental.

Cancer Moon is insecure in their individuality sometimes clinging to family or community views with blind faith. Security is a huge doubt.  You can find an insecure Cancer Moon being possessive, clingy, controlling, and manipulative.

Leo Rising has their insecurities bundled up in ego and identity. You’ll find an insecure one boastful, opinionated, cocky, and harshly competitive. 

Leo Moon fears being forgotten, insecurity stems from lack of recognition and positive self-esteem. Common signs of low self-esteem will show.

Virgo Rising insecurities stem from a lack of perfection in the physical world or lack of usefulness. An insecure Virgo Rising may become health and beauty obsessed, judgmental about looks, and must be “important” somehow to a group or person.

Virgo Moon insecurity is embedded in not being useful or needed. An insecure one easily gets used or turns into a doormat. They practice unhealthy giving and attachments. 

Libra Rising insecurity has to do with acceptance and admiration. An insecure one can exploit their talents, focus too much on looks, or even throw others under a bus. 

Libra Moon insecurity is about being liked and connected. They attach self-worth to who they associate with, fear being alone, and fear disapproval.

Scorpio Rising’s insecurity is appearing weak or vulnerable. They might act aggressively tough or be highly reserved. An insecure Scorpio Rising doesn’t want others knowing the real them whatever it is.

Scorpio Moon insecurity revolves around lack of control and fear of betrayal. Possession, manipulation, jealousy, and abuse take form with this.

Sagittarius Rising insecurities actually revolve around appearing foolish. They avoid “being wrong”, joke about themselves to avoid mocking from others. Sagittarius Rising can have an insecurity of being labeled or pin down to something too specific, as if their impression is trapped. An insecure Sagittarius Rising has a hard time accepting negative reputations, feedback, or being categorized even if that category true and not negative.

Sagittarius Moon insecurity is fear of being trapped or held down. With immaturity this leads to avoiding responsibility and commitments. They can be insecure in how their morals line up to the rest of the world or community morals. 

Capricorn Rising: Capricorn in general has great insecurity in lack of control. Within the Rising they try to control environment with strictness, demands, or pushiness. They can be insecure in their authority. They may overcompensate and push others around to get this or lack a lot of assertion.

Capricorn Moon insecurity in lack of control shows most in their work and close relationships. They are controlling and critical. Their insecurity can focus on stability. They may get dependent, not take risk, and become rigid to safeguard their stability.

Aquarius Rising is insecure about acceptance/rejection. You will find an insecure one conforming, being opinionated, and displaying plenty of faux confidence.

Aquarius Moon fears rejection and wants approval but tends to hide their uniqueness due to this. They might be quiet observers.They can be insecure in their ability to become close with others. They fear intimacy, avoid emotional exploration, and become cold.

Pisces Rising has insecurities wrapped in guilt or shame. This could take form in wanting to please others, hating on those more carefree, being used, or attempting to escape with self-inflicted ignorance. 

Pisces Moon is insecure about feeling loved and easily gives into guilt. They manipulate or deny to soothe or take control of this.

what you were supposed to learn between 2016 and 2018

apply with rising sign.

ARIES

2016: You were supposed to differentiate what you want from what you think the world wants from you. This was a year of self-discovery, one that had you challenging and questioning a lot of things that you’d previously been accepting as fact. You did a lot of soul-searching this year, and came out on the other end with some pivotal realizations.

2017: You were supposed to dive off the high board. When you knew what needed to change you went for it – and probably head first. This was the year in which you experienced radical change and saw a world that was beyond what you’d ever conceived of before. All of this new understanding brought a change in perspective, and a welcome one at that.

2018: This is the year you decide what you want to do from here on out. This is the year that you get clear on some of the big, lingering question marks that still exist in your life. You’ll regain your clarity and focus in work and in love, and you’ll get ready to start deepening those roots come 2019.

TAURUS

2016: You were supposed to reinvent something. Whether that was a home remodel, a career shift, or even just a reconsideration of who your innermost friend group is, what really changed this year was your self-image. There were parts of yourself you’ve needed to accept for a long time, and other parts of your potential that had been latent until now. This was the year to do what had not been done before.

2017: You were supposed to learn boundaries. Yes, you’re a social creature (even if you’re inherently introverted, Tauruses thrive in their “tribe”). Despite this, 2017 was a year to learn what it means to say “no,” what it means to speak up when you need to speak up, what it means to not fear being disliked in favor of exhausting yourself to the point of total depletion.

2018: This is the year the tides turn for the shore. After so many months of uncertainty, newness and soul-searching, this is the year that you start to find some reprieve. Venus is center stage all year long, and your personal relationships and business ventures receive sparkling luck because of it.

GEMINI

2016: You were supposed to embrace changes at home. This year ruled everything with your closest family members, and this was a time for you to confront new challenges with vigor and to find within them grace. You’d spent the last few years very much focused on yourself and your work, but something drew your attention to what really matters: giving your time and energy to those closest to you.

2017: You were supposed to see who your real friends are. You’d spent so much of the last few years trying to cater to people who sometimes didn’t seem like they really cared all that much in return, and 2017 brought complete clarity as to who you should really be spending your time with. This was a year to make amends, reinvent your social calendar, and redistribute your time and energy to people and things that brought you joy in return.

2018: You are supposed to embrace that project you’ve been dreaming of forever. With everything starting to settle into a new kind of normalcy on the homefront, this year will be all about stepping past your comfort zone and building something for yourself. There’s a reason you’d been feeling so much stagnancy and discomfort at times – something was telling you that you’re meant to do greater things than you can currently conceive of. This is the year to take the first step.

CANCER

2016: You were supposed to let this year surprise you. This was a time of unexpected advancement for you, and some of the choices you made then would leave lasting impressions on your life for many years to come. You gained clarity and a degree of maturity you didn’t even realize you were missing. This was the year that you started to get clear on what – or who – you really want in your life.

2017: This was the year you were supposed to run, not walk, toward your goals. This was the year that you started living out your ambitions every single day. Gone are the days of pipe dreams just existing in your mind. Whether it was committing to newfound responsibility, routine, or even just making more time for what you claim to value, this was the year you challenged yourself.

2018: You are supposed to let love in. It doesn’t matter if you’re single or happily betrothed, this is the year that love takes center stage for you. Whether it is friendships, your closest romantic relationship or even just self-love, this is the year that you re-prioritize what you thought mattered and make sure that your life is focused on what really matters: the people you love, the things you love, and the work that you love, as much as you’re able to love it.

LEO

2016: You were supposed to let go of the plan. At this point in your life, you had to accept that though things didn’t go as you once thought they would, that doesn’t mean they aren’t going well. Though it comforts you to adhere to your idea of “what’s next,” sometimes, the best thing you can do is see where life takes you. Usually, the things you lose are for your best interest anyway.

2017: You were supposed to find yourself again. The low blows of 2016 took a toll on your self-confidence, which is a rare thing for you to experience. However, it set you up to find a whole new degree of self-confidence and assuredness within yourself. If you could survive the past year, you can survive anything.

2018: You’re supposed to go where you’ve never been before. They say that the true definition of idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This year, that will be put to the test for you. You’re meant to expand your borders, date new people, try new things… you may just find that there’s a whole lot of joy waiting for you in life, if only you’d open up and give it a chance.

VIRGO

2016: You were supposed to cut loose ends. This was the year that you had to come face to face with what wasn’t working in your life – lest it be forcefully removed from you first.

2017: You were supposed to pursue a new dream. This was the year that you embarked on a new, long-awaited adventure, whether it was a new relationship, the next level of your career, or perhaps even travel. This was the year in which you were supposed to take risks, and see firsthand what works and what doesn’t for your life.

2018: You are supposed to make some firm decisions. After the past two years of an intense tug of war between what you think should be working and what you know isn’t, this is the year to ride or die. You will either start to soar and thrive like you never have before, or come to terms with having tried something new, even if it wasn’t supposed to be forever.

LIBRA

2016: You were supposed to learn how to plant seeds. The past few years have been nothing short of radical for you, and it all began with your emerald Jupiter year in 2016 lighting the way for you to start making connections – perhaps with partners, employers or even with your inner self – that would come to fruition over the next few years.

2017: You were supposed to realize how you were holding yourself back. This year was all about letting those seeds start to sprout, and identifying the ways in which you were stomping on your garden before you gave it a chance to grow.

2018: You are supposed to learn how to let your garden feed you. This year is about finishing up what began in 2016, and allowing yourself to thrive in it. It is about making serious relationship commitments, becoming more financially stable than ever, and adjusting to your highest vision of yourself – because deep down, that’s who you’ve been all along.

SCORPIO

2016: You were supposed to learn how to see for yourself. Despite being particularly self-assured and confident – even standoffish at times – you’re almost overwhelmingly swayed by what you think other people think. This was the year to start believing in your power more than your doubt; to start honoring what you feel, not what others believe.

2017: You were supposed to embrace the feelings you’d been shoving away for so long. This year was all about confronting the emotions that you had been trying to avoid. Of course, it is all with purpose: next year is going to be about your renewal, and so to know what you want, you usually must first identify what you don’t.

2018: You’re supposed to start new. With Jupiter touring your sun sign for most of the year, it is your time to build the life of your dreams. The relationships, jobs, challenges and choices you make now will leave you with (positive) repercussions for many, many years to come.

SAGITTARIUS

2016: You were supposed to learn what it means to reconcile. This was the year that you had to look face first at what you think you’ve failed at, the relationships that had deteriorated over the years, and the ways in which you need to improve your wellbeing. This year likely brought you to many distant lands and into the arms of people you’d never expected. This was a year of mind, body and spirit exploration. You were supposed to come out on the other end with a greater sense of clarity.

2017: You were supposed to learn how to reconnect. Whether it was a sick parent who you needed to stay at the bedside of, or a cousin who you’d regrettably lost contact with over the years, or even a friend who you’d always think about but never make plans with, this was a year that you opened your heart back up, and let the right people in… however slowly you had to do it.

2018: You are supposed to make significant change in your life this year. Whether this means finally moving, changing careers like you’ve known you had to for so long, or just re-adjusting your daily routine to be more sustainable, this is the year in which any unstable bridges will collapse. This is for the best – you’d been hanging on by a thread for far too long. Besides, greener pastures await.

CAPRICORN

2016: You were supposed to learn how to have vision. Despite being strong-minded, Caps are known for being malleable, if not gullible. They easily adopt other people’s ideals as their own, and this was the year to break out of that. It was time for you to learn how to think and feel autonomously, and the chances that succeeded those revelations seemed nothing short of miraculous.

2017: You were supposed to get clarity on what’s not working. This was the year that didn’t hold back: you saw what doors were closed, you saw people’s true colors and intentions, you saw which business ventures were becoming fruitful and which weren’t. You couldn’t fool yourself if you tried to this year, the only question was how long it would take for you to finally choose to pivot.

2018: You are supposed to start a journey into the unknown. This is a year in which you will do things you’ve never done before, perhaps live in or visit places you’ve never been, try work you’ve never done. This is the year that you will surprise yourself with your capability, and you will see all your past regrets dissolve now that you are truly living for your own best interest, not your preoccupation with someone else.

AQUARIUS

2016: You were supposed to learn patience. Some years are revolutionary, some are stationary, some just… are. This year was the latter for you, as things seemed to move slowly, if at all. Little did you know then, the gears were turning, it was all just happening beneath the hood (so to say).

2017: You were supposed to learn how to trust. This is a year that bridged the status of your life between 2016 and 2018, and it was built entirely on trusting people. Letting others into your sacred vision for business, love or life is not easy, but it is crucial. This year, you started to open up to potential you hadn’t recognized before, whether that was dating someone outside of your norm, or letting other people take on more responsibility at your job. Either way, it worked out for the best.

2018: You are supposed to learn how to coexist, and co-work, better than ever before. You’ve learned over the past few years that teamwork makes the dream work (ha, but seriously, it does). Therefore, it’s in your best interest to be the best partner and in some cases, boss, that you can be. This means honing in on your empathy, your compassion, and at times, your selflessness, all while holding true to a greater vision. It’s a challenge, but the rewards will be invaluable.

PISCES

2016: You were supposed to look into your past, and feel into your depths. This was a year in which some of your darkest traumas peeked their way out of the closet and said hi again. Of course, this was not so you’d needlessly suffer, but so that you’d see them for what they are – harmless ghosts in the closet – and resolve that you can move on.

2017: You were supposed to find passion again. Over the past few years, if you’ve been less than thrilled with life it’s because you’ve felt your passions were suppressed by the weight of responsibility and loss. This is the year you rediscovered what you really love, or noticed that maybe you made a wrong choice with a move, a job, or a personal life decision. Either way, it’s not too late to turn around, or in some cases, keep running toward the horizon.

2018: You are supposed to change your life – for good. With all of the evidence you’ve gathered over the past few years, now is the time to take action. You know where you want to go, the challenge is only whether or not you will be fearless enough to let yourself do it.

The Coolest Teen Astrologers Are on Tumblr

Horoscopes and sun signs used to be relegated to the back of monthly magazines. Now, a new generation of chart readers are using Tumblr to follow the stars (and each other).

…[I]t also makes sense that the way most people are introduced to Tumblr’s astrology is through a good meme. The most common formats for this bait either apply to a specific cosmic event or characterize each of the zodiac signs via pop culture or life experiences.

Congratulations to The Ringer-certified Cool Teen Astrologers Kuranda Elwood (@astroalive), Alexis Duong (@ayyries), Marina Hima (@astrologymarina), and Cherry (@astrolocherry) for making the news. We assume they knew Capricorn season would prove fruitful.

Correlations in rising sign appearance

These are just commonalities in the appearance of people with the same rising sign, of course you may have a Leo rising and not look exactly like any of the people portrayed in the post but that’s because 1) aspects to your ascendant and the rest of the chart effects appearance to! So this is mainly focusing on facial features because the 1st house rules the head. And 2) genetics :-P

Aries Rising: 

Aries risings seem to have very symmetrical faces, they have an eyebrow shape that can make them seem a bit angry or intimidating. They have small smiles, and piercing eyes like they have this pointed shape to them. One stands out here though, right? Well Shakira has Pluto opposing her ascendant, as I thought so she does appear a bit more Scorpionic than these other ladies.

Taurus Rising:

Now our beautiful Venusians. These ladies most notable commonality in their facial features is this strong facial bone structure. They also have these chins that poke out slightly. They also seem to have a face shape somewhere in between round and square.  They also seem to have a kind of earthy skin ton, even our pale Lana has some earthy undertones. 

Gemini Rising: 

Oh these Gems of ladies do appear to have a lot in common with their facial features! They seem to have longer faces, and longer noses. Wider set eyes also seem to be common. They also seem to have notable cheekbones, and a quirky sort of smile. 

Cancer Rising: 

These Cancer rising ladies all have very square and puffy faces, They also have very milky eyes and skin. They seem to also have full-ish lips.They have strong facial bone structure, as a cardinal rising should. And they have these really high cheekbones. They also seem to have thicker hair, and pursed lips.

Leo rising:

These Leonine women all seem to have rounder, softer faces. They also seem to have this skin that just… glows. Not to mention they have thicker hair. They have more leveled eyes. They have a similar width to their lips, and similar upper and lowe lip proportions. 

Virgo Rising:

It seems that these Virgoan women have a similar oval-ish face shape, a bit of a crooked smile, and similar long-ish rounded foreheads with a bit of a dent in them. They also seem to get this similar lines around their cheekbones when they smile.

Libra Rising: 

The first most noticeable commonality between these beautiful Venusian ladies is that there is a certain softness to their face, their’s no sharp features that point out or anything. Except for a slightly pointed out chin.  They also have similar, nice noses? They also have similar lips in that they are in-between thin and full lips. 

Scorpio Rising:

Well look at these beautiful Scorpionic ladies, they all have this obviously more round-ish faces. Their lips all also do this kind of pointed-folded thing when they smile, which idrk how to explain but just look at the pictures. Their cheekbones all also stand out a lot when they smile. They also all have this chin that points out a bit when they smile.

Sagittarius Rising: 

Beautiful Sagittarius risings seem to have longer faces, and smaller eyes that are a bit wider apart. They also have noticeably nice cheekbones. They also tend to have smaller foreheads, and a nose that stand out in a slightly hooked way. But they overall just have a very deer-like face tbh?? 

Capricorn Rising:

Similarly to Sagittarius rising, these gorgeous Capricorn rising have longer faces, but they also have longer noses. Their cheekbones are nice, but not all that initially prominent. They have a kind of pointed eye shape that causes them to have more so piercing eyes. Overall they just have decently symmetrical faces.

Aquarius Rising: 

Ah our uniquely beautiful Aquarian women! The most obvious commonality for Aquarius risings is a more square yet soft face. They also seem to have small foreheads, and wide cheeks. Big eyes also seem to be a commonality, and a nose that sticks out but isn’t hooked or anything. 

Pisces Rising:

Oh Pisces, these lovely ladies seem to all have an upper lip that curves down/in a bit. They also all have these round and soft yet noticeable cheekbones. Their faces in general are long yet soft. They also all have a very far away look in their eyes, as if they are of in their own imagination.

Choosing the angel or the devil sat on your shoulders can be difficult, can vary from moment to moment, and I think most of us fall somewhere in-between. I wanted to write about how the angel and devil may manifest in the archetypes.

The Aries angel would speak of protecting others, of acting from the heart, or seeking adventure and wisdom from these adventures, of leaving baggage behind and exploring the world with an open mind.

The Aries devil would speak of impulsive delights, tempers and short-term goals, of never saying sorry and thinking in black and white.

The Taurus angel would speak of sustaining space for others, loyalty and care. It would also speak of happy indulgence and creativity, exploring the finer side of life.

The Taurus devil would speak of possessiveness and material needs only, of jealousy and failing to see the value of those things that cannot be held in your hands.

The Gemini angel would speak of teaching, being a messenger, everything from little lessons to profound wisdom. It would speak of making others laugh when life seems that bit too heavy for them.

The Gemini devil would speak of mischief, not the harmless kind, but deception, making people believe that up is down and down is up. They would encourage flightiness, leaving things behind on a whim.

The Cancer angel would speak of mothering something or someone, of cradling it until it is ready to take flight, even an idea. They would also speak of emotional intuition and compassion for the circumstances of others.

The Cancer devil would speak of playing the victim, of gaining insincere sympathies with turbulent actions. They would speak of building cages around yourself and those you wish to keep.

The Leo angel would speak of shining joys and theatrical humour, of devotion and gift giving. They would also speak of adhering to a higher sense of justice, a universal right and wrong that does not limit, but enhances the joys of life.

The Leo devil would speak of personal gain over others, of petty arguments to ease the ego, of crowns that place you higher than the rest.

The Virgo angel would speak of heartfelt duties and devotions, for caring in little practicalities, especially when it comes to the Earth and animals. 

The Virgo devil would speak of damning criticisms, for you and for others. They would encourage pettiness and prickliness, pushing others away with an air of intellectual superiority. 

The Libra angel would speak of connection and conversation, of creating space and time for those that may lack confidence themselves, especially socially. They would encourage harmony in action, of finding balance between taking and giving.

The Libra devil would speak of manipulations and gossip, knowing the juicy details that should never be leaked. They would speak of attaching self-worth with the attitudes of the people around you.

The Scorpio angel would speak of liberating peoples shames and sense of darkness, of bringing them into the light without judgement. They would also speak of emotional intelligence and empathy.

The Scorpio devil would speak of exploiting peoples fears and saving the pains of their own and others. They would also speak of jealousy and the unwillingness to enjoy the frivolous and harmless in life.

The Sagittarius angel would speak of being inspiring, telling stories and myths, of finding wisdom in humour and the lighter side of life. They would also speak of healthy scepticism and exploring belief.

The Sagittarius devil would speak of laughing in the face of seriousness, of insensitivity, of embracing the delicate with bluntness and dismissiveness.

The Capricorn angel would speak of achievement, of a sense of fulfilment in life, of seeing the progress from the time of then verses now. They would also speak of dry humour and subtle charm.

The Capricorn devil would encourage business over emotion, of seeing the world in numbers and clockwork over nuances and the “feel” of things.

The Aquarius angel would speak of self-acceptance and embracing the individual within us. Also, the exploration of ideas and originality, of seeking progress for the betterment of all of us.

The Aquarius devil would encourage mental superiority, of the unwillingness to see others as also special and individuals, rather than one outdoing the many.

The Pisces angel would speak of accepting how you feel in the moment as valid, of seeking higher truths through creativity and compassion. They would speak of bringing healing in the form of patience and time for others.

The Pisces devil would encourage deception and passive-aggression. They would also encourage the idea that others can overshadow you, take your space for there own without consequence, of powerlessness.
