Welcome to Astro!Talks

{This began as a section known in my paper journal that I travel with! I tend to lose myself in words when I write strictly digital, so I like to write out ideas in my journal to make blobless babble into thoughts! }

Concepts We’ll Be Discussing:

Gender (Feminine vs Masculine)

Elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air)

Modality (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable)

🚧Under construction!!!🚧

I know you’re tired of the inaccurate, baseless astrological “memes” and “think pieces” that infest the interwebs.

Especially if you’re like me and decided to become obsessed with the world astrology. I’ve been studying astrology… going on seven years now? I was 18 when I first discovered the wonders of birth [read: natal] charts!

Imagine how the stars were aligning the moment you arrived...

That’s exactly how I think of my birth chart. Something you will learn fast, is I don’t believe the stars control me. I don’t think they control you. I don’t truly believe they could even predict the future. It can theorize it—for sure. To me, astrology is the personification of the stars.

Astrology can be a tool to use to reflect on yourself, who you want to be, a reflection of how you think and feel, and the actions you take (or don’t take) as an extension.

You have to apply the person to the chart—not the chart to the person.

Sometimes people don’t always understand what I mean by this. A random chart means nothing to me. If I don’t know you, I can theorize all I want to; it’s like reading a transit chart without any context. It makes no sense for me to tell you who you are—especially because I can’t control what you do. I cannot live your life or decide things for you. You are a person with the agency of choice, and to allow things outside of yourself to decide things that affect your life? Is actually really dangerous. Would not advise [cause oh boy, the horror story I could tell…].

So for the first Astro!Talks series were gonna redefine some astrological concepts that categorize the signs so we can better understand our charts. I want to give us better understanding of these concepts so I can better help you help me to [help me.]!

{This will be a mega!post to help you navigate each of the Astro!Talk series!🫡}

Would love to hear any of your most random thoughts on scorpio women, inspired by your post on Virgo men.

My official random Scorpio women thoughts:

Main characters of the zodiac, unintentionally.

I personally think all Scorpios have intense eyes because the eyes are the windows to the soul. It’s a working theory.

You know that saying, “Still waters run deep.”? That was 100% written about a Scorpio.

I feel like their polarizing nature stresses them out sometimes and occasionally makes them sad.

I don’t think they want to be universally adored (they do), but I do think they want to be given the benefit of the doubt more often.

They’re people-oriented! Just like all the fixed signs, but especially like Aquas. But both of them struggle with their public perception.

They’re lovers masquerading as fighters. (Taurus is a fighter masquerading as a lover.)

All Scorpios are guided by love more than they are by spite, malice, greed, or even revenge.

Basically the definition of choosing to go to war because you love what’s at home.

For a fixed sign, they undergo a tremendous amount of transformation regularly, thanks to Pluto. Unless they lean into it, it will drive them crazy.

I hate the fact that we connect so much of Scorpio to resilience, but I do believe people with strong Scorpio personal placements (particularly Sun, Moon, and Rising) do have a natural regenerative energy that seems to keep them going no matter what. However, this can cause them to not rest and become too reliant upon it. This hurts them in the end.

Last thought of the evening: I am, once again, begging people to be less superficial in their discussions about Capricorns, because there is so much more to unpack than: “Workaholic, pessimistic (have you ever met a water sign?), money obsessed perfectionists.”

Their perfectionism is a sign of faith which is a sign of optimism which is a sign of deep desires and deep longing! Which is why they’re workaholics. Sorry you can’t see that.

They called me a madman when I said mutable signs are the truly unforgiving of the zodiac bunch…

[luxurybrownbarbie]

Hmm. There’s something about Scorpio risings and their unwillingness to have anything they do be seen as “effortless” that feeds into their polarizing nature.

Have we discussed the fact that the king and the court jester were the only ones allowed to speak freely and tell the truth without facing consequences?

Have we discussed the fact that both of those positions are the embodiment of Sagittarius?
