I TRY SO HARD TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HELP MYSELF
“Perhaps, to enjoy being the hero who swoops in and saves the day is to have a deep desire for self-annihilation. Saving someone feels easy, compared to asking yourself who the hell you are and what you want and how you want to be loved and by whom. Compared to asking, How might I care for myself?”
— CJ Hauser, The Crane Wife: A Memoir in Essays (Doubleday, July 12, 2022)
Here are some REAL astrological tips that I'm not just pulling out my ass and actually learned from reading
1. Aquarius is not ruled by uranus, aquarius is ruled by saturn. When astrologers discovered uranus they borrowed some of the traits of saturn and applied them to uranus because they didnt know what to do with this planet. Having strong uranus influence won't make you feel like an outsider but having a strong saturn influence will. Uranus does not rule "outcasts" or "obstruction" it rules sudden changes which we only associate with aquarius because of their eccentricity and the modern rulership of this sign, aquarius isn't as open to "change" as we would like to think they are, they're a saturn(restrictions) ruled fixed sign, they're more open minded and progressive than capricorn but they're more traditional and less accepting than we think pisces to be.
2. NO planet is unwelcome in the 5th and 11th house. Any personal planets in these houses including mars and saturn, especially the chart ruler is a sign of good fortune, wealth, successful investments and just an easy life in general because these houses are the joy of Venus and Jupiter, harmful planets here become neutralized and instead work to our benefit even with difficult aspects. Ex: Someone with a 5th house saturn might work high paying government jobs or become some kind of authority(saturn) figure sometime within their life.
3. What you've been taught about the north and south node is wrong. The north node is not "underdeveloped traits" The north node represents "increase" while the south node represents decrease, not your comfort zone and this is according to hellenistic and ancient astrology. The north node represents the dragon head while the south node represents its tail. Wherever your north node(the head) is, is where there's an infatuation and/or otherwise increase of energy and experiences, the south node (the tail) is something you abandoned (and shouldnt have) so you could focus on your north node, it's not necessarily something you need to let go of because that's like saying the dragon cut his tail off so he could keep his head lol, the dragon doesn't need to cut his tail at all, his tail is what's helping send him into the right direction because how do you expect him to move without his tail? In this case the south node is something you can rely on to assist you when handling the topics of your north node, that's the whole point. If south node was something that we needed to dismiss or free ourselves from it, there wouldn't be a south node, the south node and north node exist with each other, they HAVE to co-exist
4. I don't really debate about which house system to use when reading your own chart or others but when reading transits, synastry and composite charts, I strongly recommend using WS to make things alot less confusing.
5. The moon is a significator of money in alot of the same ways venus and jupiter are that's why the moon gets exalted in taurus. Moon in Taurus, Pisces, Sagittarius or Libra in the 3rd (house joy), 5th or 11th house is an indicator of wealth.
6. When outer planets transit your cadent houses please don't have a breakdown, planets in cadent houses have the weakest influence within a person's chart.
7. The houses responsible for fame are realistically the 5th, 7th house, 10th and 11th house and everything starts with the 5th house. Explanation: 5th house is the talent you have, the 11th house is your audience, you bring the talents you build upon in the 5th house for the world to see over into the 11th house, the 7th house is your relationship to law and the public, partnerships etc, if you wanna get contracts like a partnership with the NBA or picked to star in a movie, all of this would take place in the 7th house, the 10th house is the brand and image you cultivate after your name gets around from the 7th house, this house talks about your peak, how well did you do? Did you make it big? Planets here, where it's ruler is/and aspects will color all of this. Honorable mention is the 1st house cause the 1st house like the 10th house is angular and says alot about whether eyes are on you, do you get attention, are you an extrovert, are you confident or is building up those kind of things difficult for you, all of this gets answered in the 1st house.
8. Do not let any amateur astrologers gaslight you into thinking that having 8th or 12th house placements make you spiritual, spirituality gets its meaning from the 9th house and the 11th house where jupiter finds joy, planets in the 8th and 12th house is NOT for the weak and I don't mean to sound arrogant, I have 12th house placements and I'm aware that the 12th house doesn't get its meaning from pisces or jupiter, sprutuality is meant to be a good thing, planets in these houses is not a good thing so it is not wise to draw proximity there
9. Both Venus/ Jupiter and it's aspects is an indicator of marriage, the sign they're in, house placement and aspects will tell you more about your spouse (venus if you're attracted to women and jupiter if you're attracted to men)
10. Debilitated or fallen planets are liberated or in accidental dignity when in the angular houses or the 5th and 11th. Yes this counts for retrograde planets as well even tho i don't count retrogrades as a debilitaty. Think of them as having "redemption arcs" like negan from the walking dead, started out evil or In bad condition but it got better real fast or the challenges with that placement are easy to overcome. Ex: aquarius sun in the 1st house, aquarius is obviously debilitated under the sun because the sun and saturn are enemies and aquarius gets overwhelmed by the attention and self expression that comes with the sun but with the sun in the 1st house that luminary becomes apart of you, it's literally influencing your physical body and how you behave, with the sun here you have no trouble expressing yourself and actually like attention, so it's like having a leo rising but alot more intense

"Good morning beautiful, I see a sea of sun's in your eyes.. a sea of constellations in your smile."
Wake up, wake up!! It's time to wake up, so get up, get up, it's time to get up 🎶🎵🎶 haha - eUë
"Every heartbeat crafted from perfection, this love.. every breath divine. A goddess you would assume, well then you would be right.. a heart aflame with desire, a soul moonlit on fire. Like a rose in the wind, she is free of sin.. a perfect creature of divinity, an ocean, a sea.. the sun in love with me."
You think Icarus was crazy, think bigger.. the sun fell in love with ME and it really burns me up, you know? Cause she's so hot that I melt into a puddle at her feet - eUë

"They dredged Icarus up from the sea today; wings bedraggled, tangled in the nets of those who tried to raise his body before- but he would not ascend, he learned his lesson. Better the dark and cold; the sea floor solid against his shoulders (thousands of miles between him and that molten heart, earth's secret inner sun- and though the Greeks believed the world was flat, Icarus knew otherwise. Why chase unless like was calling to like?)
They had to wrap chains around his wrists, drag him, water pulling at his pinions. He tried to explain though his tongue was rotting, rimed with salt, stiff with a language long dead - watching silver fish dart through the light - splattered Aegeon had been punishment enough."
I have seen the sea when it is stormy and wild; when it is quiet and serene; when it is dark and moody. And in all its moods, I see myself.
― Martin Buxbaum

“In this dark, I see you clear as the sunrise, and you are lambent - radiant, truthfully - with an everburning spark in your flamebright soul. To be in midsun is to immolate, and yet to be moonfired, thus I will not let you harm me. Not you, a lodestar when all shades of daycolor take their leave beneath the glimmer of the dimdistant stars awaiting dawn reborn. You, a safe beacon of light and hope, Caleb Widogast.”

in another universe, we are mature enough to talk, and say finally goodbye.
in another universe august lasts forever, the words I say mean something and the sun never goes away. we are happy.
